I love it!
This board is so worth the seventy five bucks people! I put way smaller risers on it and I want harder bushings and better bearing at some point. It is a solid sector 9 and I am buying a second one.

Retina ready websites?
My understanding is that images displayed on websites need to balance quality with file size. I have been lead to believe that most screens or browsers only display 72 px/inch. This confuses me especially when there are new mobile devises that say they are high resolution or use a Retina display. Also, as soon as these devises are available there is an outpouring of upgraded apps saying they updated their graphics for the new displays. My questions are these:
I ask because I am working on putting my photographs online and would like them to be displayed at their fullest potential.
Thank you.

You are correct in that there needs to be balance between quality and file size.
Your questions:
1. You do not have a clear understanding of what px/inch means, and it's a really common thing to not grip.
Anyhow. If "screens" could only display a maximum of 72 px/in, then there would have to be a standard for how many pixels you are "allowed" to display on a screen of a certain physical size in inch, right? Example: An iMac 27 screen is 27 inches and has a resolution of 2560x1400 pixels. That gives a certain number of pixels per inch, (109 to be exact) defined by the physical size of the screen and what resolution it's running at. The PPI value is just a resulting value of resoluion vs physical screen size. Retina is just a marketing term for Apples screens with a PPI value so high that the eye cannot distinguish individual pixels.
Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._pixel_density
DPI/PPI calculator: http://members.ping.de/~sven/dpi.html
2. I think Apple devices scale content really well, so it's not necessary. However, ideally, you would have your images ready at a 2048x1536 so they could be displayed pixel perfect on a Retina iPad.
3. Generally you have thumbnails, previews and then maybe large resolution versions of your photos. Usually something around 2 Mpix has been considered plenty, as that's what most screens can display. Look for 'responsive web design' when you make a site, that will make it ready for all devices.
4. On the difference between 'hardware' and 'image' pixels. The resolution of a digital image is ONLY defined by the amount of pixels in it. A high pixel count doesn't necessarily mean high quality though. Further, if you set an image to a DPI/PPI value is completely irrelevant as long as you're keeping it digital, cause obviously, you can't affect what physical size anyone's gonna view your content at, right? You can't decide that a picture's gonna be 250 PPI on anyones screen, cause that's defined by the resolution and physical size of that screen, as stated above.. you with me?
If this was possible, then you could send a picture to someone with a low PPI, and then that picture would take control of their computer and lower the resoluion to display it at the set PPI. Not a great scenario, eh? :P
When printing however, you need to consider the DPI, but that's a whole different matter.
I hope this helps. Understanding this will make working with picures a whole lot less confusing.

First I was doing the general trick on my website, where a JS replaces images when a high-DPI unit is detected.
Now I changed it to a server side PHP script that detects Android/iThingie mobile browsers. This is because the double-pinch zoom function on them also zooms to 200% on non hi-dpi devices like a iPhone 3 or a iPod Touch 2G. In such cases double resolution is welcome as well.
And for the bandwith, double resolution does not mean 4 times bandwith. It compresses more easily. It is 150-200% of the low res files as you can increase the JPEG compression a bit. The artifacts are way less visible.

2) no but it is subtly apparent. Its not the only criteria either - compression artifacts are much more apparent on the high gamut display of the new iPad; Facebook being a good example of too high compression.
3) Two sizes: a 720x720 image at moderate compression for zipping through pictures, with a 2500x2500 image loading automatically whenever the user "dwells" or fills the screen with your image. A balance of download performance and quality is a must.
4) Wiki "Bayer sensor" for more info, but the basic difference is color resolution. A screen has three color producing cells at each pixel, so its luminosity resolution is the same in all color planes. Due to the Bayer design, a standard camera has 1/4 it's stated resolution in two color planes and 1/2 it's stated resolution in a third. Software interpolation does a fair job of hiding this, but you may find your photos at their most crisp when you show them at 1/4 their original resolution.
There is really a lot to this subject, but let's make a few statements to maybe clarify:
- When you take a digital picture, you are capturing some bit strength of light on a pattern of photo detectors, each of which captures one color. This sensor has a horizontal and vertical pixel count, which are multiplied together to assign it a "megapixel" rating
- After you take a picture, the digital signal from the camera is saved to an interchange format to help display your image universally on displays. This format might be RAW, in which case the exact contents of the photo detectors are saved, or JPEG, in which case the RAW data is processed and an interpolated image is produced, generally one in which every photo detector has its captured data compared with nearby detectors of other colors to produce an image that has full color information for a number of pixels equal to the sensors megapixel count. Anyhow, the image format has a horizontal and vertical resolution which is the "sharpest" that image will ever get.
- A screen can display an image file at any resolution it is capable of rendering. It does so by up sampling low resolution images and downsampling high resolution images. Any time a computer is told to display an image, it must also be told what size the image is to be viewed at. Images always look their best displayed at their full resolution on a screen capable of rendering that resolution. Failing that, it is better to down sample than to up sample. Up sampling is of dubious usefulness, as it adds no meaningful visual information and can distort proportions/inflate imperfections in very low res images. It is sometimes used to make images "look better," though this is really a matter of switching algorithms to make a bad image seem less bad.

Very Good Way to Graduate to Solid Food
posted 6 years ago
We graduate to the weaning formula and then slowly add solid kitten food to the mixture behore we transition totally to solid food. We have found that there is not interuption in the puppies eating habits with this system. Healthy happy puppies are the result.
Pros: Maintains continuity in diet during weaning transition.
Cons: No Cons

Great for Weaning puppies
posted 7 years ago
When we have bottle fed foster puppies we use this to start transitioning them into solid food. We generally mix it with formula and water and create a cereal. We also mix it in with a small amount of dry and wet food. It helps them to develop the insticnt to eat the solid food without causing them to have an upset stomach. It should be used around 5-6 weeks when their teeth are developed and they are ready for the transition. If you have weak, sick, or malnourished puppies you may need to use formula for longer. It provides a good source of nutrition for the growing puppies.
Pros: Prepares puppies for solid food
Cons: n/a

Video: Robert A.M. Stern on Designing Background Buildings and The Limestone Jesus
"We have lots of silly buildings being built, in my opinion. The buildings should not look like Lady Gaga," stated Robert A.M. Stern in the latest installment by the Louisiana Channel.
Fifteen Central Park West, what many know to be the "world's most powerful address," was designed by Stern with one intention: to fill in the wall of Central Park West with a single, well articulated "background building" rather than a "twisting and turning isolated" structure. As Stern describes in the video above, the building, known as the "Limestone Jesus," is praised in the real estate world for it's high-priced apartments.
"Almost every building that is new has a built-in history. We are architects that build on the shoulders of the past. I think is is much more exciting to enter into a dialogue with the past and also to take things from the past and restudy them, their theme and variation. Architecture is made up of many languages in my view and if we have a modern language that is evolved but it doesn't mean that the other languages can't also continue to be spoken."

Breakfast Event – fundinfo Data Dissemination
On Wednesday 20 May 2015, we introduced our new "fundinfo Data Dissemination" service (for the dissemination of static fund data) at fundinfo's latest breakfast presentation event. The event was held at the MainNizza in Frankfurt am Main and was attended by around 50 guests from the fund industry.
Game-changer: fundinfo
First Fund Experts Forum in Germany
On 9 October, FAZ Forum and fundinfo launched the first Fund Experts Forum in Germany. We were pleased to welcome numerous participants from private wealth management and the fund industry to the Hotel Kempinski in Falkenstein near Frankfurt am Main. The event was subtitled "Risk more Assets!".
At the German Investment Funds Association (BVI) offices in Frankfurt am Main on 30.09.2014 we presented "openfunds – an initiative to increase efficiency and quality in the exchange of fund data".
fundinfo and M&G breakfast Seminar in Singapore
fundinfo's second Asian event held in Singapore on September 18th built on the success of Hong Kong's event a few months earlier. Speakers from Credit Suisse, Julius Baer, DBS and UBS shared how fund houses should go about developing better partnerships with global and regional fund distributors. Something that everyone agreed would not only be valuable for them but most importantly for the entire funds industry in Asia which has room for a lot of growth.
Modern online self-marketing for fund companies
On Tuesday 16 September 2014 we again had the pleasure of welcoming numerous guests from the fund sector at Frankfurt's "MainNizza".

Remove Ice maker bin from the refrigerator and empty. Unscrew the three Phillips head screws that secure the front plate to the bin and gently lift and pull the tab that secures the interior portion of the plate until it clears the bin. Once you remove the front plate, it will expose two side tabs on the front of the bin which must be depressed so that the plastic insert that hold the auger in place can be removed. Isolate the auger with the from the unit by rotating the parts off the shaft. The ice crushing blades are attached to the auger and can easily be removed by twisting the plastic nut off with pliers. The cutting blades will now slip off the end (make sure you study the orientation of the blades as each piece will come off separately and make the job unpleasant when you go to put it back together). Now that the auger is out, just reverse the process and you have a "new" ice dispenser. Works like a charm. The diagram furnished by PartSelect was very helpful and accurate if you get a bit lost, especially when putting the crushing blades back together.

We look at some of the things the Mortal Kombat series has got wrong over the years, and how Mortal Kombat 2011 sorts them out.
4. Too many filler characters, or not enough of the key ones
Things have been steadily bloating for years in the MK world, but things got truly ridiculous in Armageddon. I think 62 is an absurd number of playable characters.
I suppose you could argue that you don't need to play as them all, and of course you don't. But having so many makes it incredibly difficult to get attached to any of the newer characters. They all just blend into one. Who needs that many identikit large-chested ninja brunettes? And how is the game supposed to be a genuine test of skill when half the time your opponent is picking a character you've never played as, and maybe never even fought?
And this leads on to other problems mentioned above. Having 62 characters was presumably why they went for the Kreate-A-Fatality system instead of having individual fatalities. And clearly it would have been impossible for Shang Tsung players to memorise 61 morph button sequences.
62 characters: ridiculous (the slots directly above Scorpion and Sektor's heads are for home-made characters, maths fans, so I've not included them in the count)
Conversely, the following game, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, trimmed things down in some areas - it missed out Cage and all the robot ninjas, for instance - while still feeling the need to pander to comic-book completists with relatively dispensible also-rans Deathstroke and Darkseid.
(Apologies to comic-book completists if those two are massively significant, by the way. But if you need to be a comic-book nut to know who the characters are, they shouldn't be in a Mortal Kombat title at the expense of Cyrax.)
Does MK9 fix it? There are far fewer characters in MK9 than in Armageddon, but more than in MK vs DC. And I think they've balanced it well - this time you get all the biggies, and very little filler. There will probably be a fair few filler characters added later as DLC, mind, but you'll only buy them if you like, say, Kenshi. You weirdo.
Scorpion and Johnny Cage: two characters that should be in every Mortal Kombat game
Fujin and... Taven? Or is it Daegon? Anyway, two characters we can live without
5. Going 3D to keep up with the times
Perhaps rather controversially, I've never been a huge fan of 3D in fighting games. I like my fighting games dumb and old-fashioned. But even if you could get me to admit its appeal in games that know how to use 3D - Virtua Fighter and Tekken are both distinguished fighting franchises - surely it's undeniable that Mortal Kombat never got the hang of it.
3D works best, in my mind, when the action is close and grapply. Mortal Kombat has always been more of an arms-length sort of a game, with a lot of emphasis on projectiles and leaping in from distance with flying kicks; and the boring old sidestep move is poison in that environment.
Does MK9 fix it? Mortal Kombat 9 is two-dimensional (in action terms; the character models have been rendered three-dimensionally). And I'm pleased about that. But I suspect not everyone will agree that this was something that needed fixing. I'd be interested to hear readers' views on this one.
Cyrax and Kitana, showing why two dimensions are best
Agree? Disagree? Let me know what you think in the comments box below. And don't forget to read our comprehensive review of MK9.

Stark Footage Of The Game Of Thrones RPG
I'm starting to feel like an embedded reporter in Westeros. There are too many games of Games of Thrones. Cyanide's take is an RRPG (sic) in the same vein as Dragon Age II. The combat system's tweak to that format means that instead of pausing battles to pick the best strategic outcome, things instead just run very slowly. I believe it's their criticism of how long it took George to write that last book. It's also supposed to reflect the tension of the world's fights, as well as letting you direct friendly combatants and selecting stances. I've played loads of games, and I'm not sure that's possible. I had to put one book down after a chapter, then when I returned the next chapter made me do the same. It was too awful. Hold me.

It appears that someone finally notified the Cleveland Browns what "waving the white flag" signifies. The Browns organization cancelled a giveaway that was supposed to take place on Sunday sponsored by Ticketmaster that would hand out white flags to every fan entering Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Browns announced the promotion on Wednesday via their Facebook page, and it was immediately met with criticism from Cleveland fans. "After further and careful consideration, we felt it was in the best interests of everyone involved that we not have a giveaway item at tomorrow's game," said Browns spokesman Neal Gulkis, according to the Plan Dealer. "It is something that was intended to be fun for our fans and that they could rally around, and we regret that some didn't perceive it that way. We want to thank all of our fans for their tremendous support and we look forward to seeing them out in force at the stadium tomorrow." The 2-8 Browns are facing off against their biggest rivals, the 6-4 Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers will be without their Top 2 quarterbacks, and will be forced to start Charlie Batch, with Brian Hoyer backing him up. Hoyer was signed just four days ago.

1. An ace attorney's art
When City Attorney Jennifer McGrath isn't handling Huntington Beach's legal issues, she's taking gorgeous photographs.
McGrath's photography is on display at John Wayne Airport as part of the airport's Community Focus Space Program, which highlights local artists and various community organizations.
McGrath said she tries to capture images that can be experienced only once, and she has a great appreciation for Northern, Central and Southern California, according to a statement released by the airport.
"Normal life can frequently be mundane, but moments of beauty, of spirituality can make any moment amazing," she said.
Her photographs will be on display until March 20 in the upper level near screening areas in terminals A, B and C and on the lower level adjacent to baggage carousels 1 and 4.
The Airport Arts Program aims to provide museum-quality exhibitions for travelers in the terminal and features a variety of media and installations throughout the year.

José Ortega y Gasset was born 9 May 1883 in Madrid. His father was director of the newspaper El Imparcial, which belonged to the family of his mother, Dolores Gasset. The family was definitively of Spain's end-of-the-century liberal and educated bourgeoisie. The liberal tradition and journalistic engagement of his family had a profound influence in Ortega y Gasset's activism in politics.
Ortega was first schooled by the Jesuit priests of San Estanislao in Miraflores del Palo, Málaga (1891–1897). He attended the University of Deusto, Bilbao (1897–98) and the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the Central University of Madrid, (now Complutense University of Madrid) (1898–1904), receiving a doctorate in Philosophy. From 1905 to 1907, he continued his studies in Germany at Leipzig, Nuremberg, Cologne, Berlin and, above all Marburg. At Marburg, he was influenced by the neo-Kantianism of Hermann Cohen and Paul Natorp, among others.
On his return to Spain in 1908, he was appointed professor of Psychology, Logic and Ethics at the Escuela Superior del Magisterio de Madrid[2] and in October 1910 he was named full professor of Metaphysics at Complutense University of Madrid, a vacant seat previously held by of Nicolás Salmerón.
In 1917 he became a contributor to the newspaper El Sol, where he published as a series of essays his two principal works: España invertebrada (Invertebrate Spain) and La rebelión de las masas (The Revolt of the Masses). The latter made him internationally famous.
He founded the Revista de Occidente in 1923, remaining its director until 1936. This publication promoted translation of (and commentary upon) the most important figures and tendencies in philosophy, including Oswald Spengler, Johan Huizinga, Edmund Husserl, Georg Simmel, Jakob von Uexküll, Heinz Heimsoeth, Franz Brentano, Hans Driesch, Ernst Müller, Alexander Pfänder, and Bertrand Russell.
Elected deputy for the province of León in the constituent assembly of the second Spanish Republi
c, he was the leader of a parliamentary group of intellectuals known as La Agrupación al servicio de la república[3] ("At the service of the Republic"), but he soon abandoned politics, disappointed.
Leaving Spain at the outbreak of the Civil War, he spent years of exile in Buenos Aires, Argentina until moving back to Europe in 1942.[2] He settled in Portugal by mid-1945 and slowly began to make short visits to Spain. In 1948 he returned to Madrid, where he founded the Institute of Humanities, at which he lectured.[4]

Tsering Norbu Became 2012 "Gingko Fellow"
The list of 2012 Ginkgo Fellows was announced by the Narada Foundation in Beijing on Oct. 12th, 2012. Tsering Norbu, Executive Director of the Pendeba Society, and other 16 outstanding NPO leaders became the 2012 Gingko Fellows. In the next three years, each of them will get 100,000 RMB of funds per year as the personal growth funds which could be used to improve their personal life and expenditures for learning and business trip. They will also get support such as regular overseas tour, peer collaboration, experts mentor resources.
The Ginkgo Fellow Program is started in 2010 by Narada Foundation. It is a long-term program aiming to help young people overcome obstacles in self-development and become leaders to promote certain charity fields in the future. Narada Foundation planned to invest some 100 million RMB in next 10 years on this program. The main beneficiaries are leaders or founders of grassroots organizations, scholars, media professionals, individual activists. Future leaders of NGOs are also included. This program also advocates that the whole society to support talents in public sector and to build up supporting system for them.
Winter Cloths Distribution in QNNP
The QNNP is known as the Third Pole of the Earth, and it is freezing cold during the winter. In order to warm up QNNP's school children in winter, the Pendeba Society has applied to the Snoopy Love Foundation and was donated 2000 winter coats, 2000 scarfs, 300 sweaters and 200 hats, which were distributed to 2000 more poor school children in QNNP's four counties. To ensure fair distribution, the Society has consulted with local governments and communities to identify the most needing villages and schools to receive the donation. During the course of the distribution, the Society was in charge of transportation, distribution and outreach activities of the donated clothes. We also invited local TV to report the event to make it more known across the region. In the meantime, we also updated our project via various channels including Weibo to ensure a trustful and faire distribution.
Representatives from the Foundation were invited to join the distribution event, and they expressed their continued support to the project. In the later days, with local stakeholders, the Society organized distribution activities in the identified schools, and gave the clothes in the hands of school children. Because the project covered a large area, and the Society was monitoring the whole event, the project lasted for 2 months. The Society visited each identified schools and gave the clothes, and made detailed donation record. According to the types of the donated clothes, we identified the villages and number of school children to form a donation list. With each school's location and we decided the time to distribute the clothes among nearby villages. Each child was given a winter coat and scarf, while for poorer children; they were given a hat and sweater more. After the distribution, we also collected all the package trash to set examples for students to care about the environment.
By Jan 6, 2013, with help from local government and communities, the donated winter cloths were successfully distributed. The work was highly recognized by local people and governments. Concerned villagers and children also got to know the Pendeba Society better, and it helped us gain more support from the communities in our future projects. In the meantime, the Society also took chances to conduct need assessment with local government and village leaders to gather information for our future projects.
Transform traditional sheep corrals, protect wetland ecosystems
In early August, 2012, the Pendeba Society reached agreement on transforming traditional sheep corrals projects with 5 villages (Enba, Chaga, Chazi, Didong, Meimu and Nailong) in Tingri and Nyalam Counties with support from local governments and communities. Except Nailong and Chaga Villages, the other four villages have completed the projects based on the communities' practical situation and schedule. In total 64 sites of sheep corrals have been successfully transformed into new ones and put into use before winter arrived.
Currently, most of local villagers still use traditional sheep corrals that are built by earth blocks dug from the wetlands. By doing so, local ecological environment is easily destructed and the sheep corrals are also less endurable and sustainable. To help end such situation, it matters a lot for the quality of sheep corrals after the transformation. The Society encouraged villagers to rebuild the corrals by rocks and stones. In villages where there is a lack of stones, they could use earth bricks. Sheep corrals that are built of rocks or earth bricks will be more endurable and sustainable for lasting use.
The Society designed and implemented the projects according to the communities' needs and demands, and compensated the villagers for their work. The Society has always been refusing to compensate local labor input with cash, which we think it will not only lead local villagers to depend more on government and other sponsors, but it also jeopardize the sustainability of the projects. Hence, the Society seeks to meet local communities' practical needs in terms of livelihoods materials in exchange for their labor input. This will better address the problems facing the locals, as well as ensuring sustainability of the projects.
By the end of 2012, the Society will implement the compensation schemes. For Chazi and Didong villagers, they will transform the sheep corrals collectively and benefit collectively thereafter. Led by the village chefs, the villagers started transforming the corrals all together. Based on the needs and assessment of the two villages, the villagers will receive milk segregators and furniture, respectively in compensation of their labor input. For Meimu and Enba villages, the sheep corral owners will implement the rebuilding individually. The Society will compensate participating villagers with TV sets and materials such as winter fabric covering the corrals so that they can provide better protection for livestock to get through cold winter.
Sheep corral transformation and irrigation watercourse projects in two villages
On August 28, 2012, staff of the Pendeba Society went on a survey to Zhaguo Town of Tingri County to identify project site where conventional sheep corrals will be transformed. After consulting with local township officials, not only had we received support from local government, we also got to know the villages that have large areas of conventional sheep corrals needed to be transformed. We surveyed some of the villages including Zhaguo, Jialong, Meimu, and Chaga Villages, and identified two project sites, namely Meimu and Chaga, where there are urgent needs to transform their conventional sheep corrals.
In the morning, accompanied by village chiefs of Meimu, we went to the riverside to examine the sheep corrals, during which we introduced our project and the importance of wetlands, we also got to know there are 18 sheep corrals in the village that require transformation. Though some of the corrals have been transformed into ones half-stone and half-earth brick, they still need reinforcement. Nonetheless, many sheep corrals are still constructed conventionally by digging out wetland earth blocks, and they are collapsing due to poor maintenance. After consulting with village chiefs and listening to their needs, we have designed a project plan that owners of the corrals provide labor for corral transformation while the Pendeba Society provides materials such as winter fabric covering the corrals so that they can provide better protection for livestock to get through cold winter. In the meantime, we also came out with an incentive plan that those who do a good job in the project will be rewarded after the final evaluation. This will also motivate villagers, and help achieve the results in a successful manner. The project will transform 18 sheep corrals, from which over 400 villagers and 4600 livestock will benefit.
In the afternoon, we went on to the other village, Chaga. In the course of talking with village chiefs, we also introduced our visit and project, and consulted about the village's needs. The chiefs were all in favor of our projects, and stated their needs, i.e., building a watercourse that feeds water into hillside farmlands behind the village for irrigation during spring sowing season. Due to unfavorable climate and geological conditions, this area faces floods during the raining season, while the sandy soil cannot hold water from wellspring in mountains. Together with lacking of irrigation infrastructures, they impose negative impacts on the village's agricultural production. During the spring sowing season in particular, there is less rain and the sandy soil will have absorbed the water from wellspring before it reaches the farmland, causing water shortage for irrigation.
Though there are irrigation infrastructures and a large reservoir under construction near the village, it still needs more funds for the village to build a watercourse that can feeds water into small reservoirs near the hillside farmlands. Also, summer floods can be better controlled and channeled off to the large reservoir for storage, providing water for the farmlands downstream. And the staff of the Pendeba Society did a survey to the hillside farmlands, and together with the village chiefs carefully planed the project. Finally, we agreed to transform 10 conventional sheep corrals while building a irrigation watercourse for the village's hillside farmlands. This project will ensure irrigation water for around 100 mu (around 6.7 ha) farmlands to safeguard agricultural production, and transform conventional sheep corrals to protect wetlands, from which over 260 villagers and 3000 livestock will benefit.
We truly appreciate the generous support from LAO NIU Foundation, while in the meantime, we also thank Zhaguo Government and concerned communities for their continued support and cooperation on these projects.
The Pendeba Society Conferred 5A Grade Social Organization of TAR
In the afternoon of August 13, 2012, TAR's Department of Civil Affairs held a meeting on progress report of State-funded social welfare projects and a ceremony to confer Social Organization Grade Evaluation certificates on outstanding social organizations of Tibet Autonomous Region. Mr. XIAO Bai, Vice Department chief chaired the meeting, and Mr. JIA Xiaojiu, Vice Director of State Bureau of NGO Administration, attended the meeting and gave a keynote speech. In his speech, Mr. JIA mentioned that social organizations are government's right hand, and it signifies much to cultivate and oster social organizations. He also delivered six requirements to the organizations that received state grants to implement social welfare projects, namely, 1) projects need to solve the most urgent needs of local communities, and benefit local people; 2) implementing scale and scope of the projects should be well handled; 3) Subletting and inappropriate bonus rewards are prohibited; 4); all documents related to the projects should be well kept; 5) project closing should be well managed; and 6) let projects play a leading role in promoting social welfare. Mr. JIA also introduced the background of the State Social Welfare Project Grants Program, and emphasized the importance of this program, which is in accordance to central government's direction on cultivating and fostering social organizations. If this program has succeeded and reached its goals, and local people have really benefited, it is very possible that this grants program will be incorporated into the central government's annual budget, which will ensure grants, and more local people, especially local Tibetan communities will benefit.
Mr. Sonam Louguo, Director of TAR's Bureau of NGO Administration, introduced the establishment of TAR's social organizations, current challenges and future improvement measures. Mr. YU Yonglong, Vice Director of State Bureau of NGO Administration attended this meeting as well. Five social organizations from TAR that are conferred 5 A Grade (top grade) of Social Organization Grade Evaluation of TAR were invited to attend the meeting. Representatives of these five organizations also presented their project progress to all the attendees. At last, Mr. JIA and Mr. XIAO conferred the 5 A Grade certificates upon the Pendeba Society, TAR Charity Federation, Tibet Ecology and Environment Foundation and other two organizations. They also encouraged these organizations to keep up with great work, and contribute more to better future of TAR. Mr. Tsering Norbu, on behalf of the Pendeba Society, received the certificate.
Transform conventional corrals to protect wetlands along Pengqu River
The wetlands along Pengqu River are some of the most important wetlands in QNNP, and they are also natural grassland for livestock. These wetlands conserve rich biological and ecological diversity as the preserve's natural resources. Complex environmental and climatic conditions also result in diverse flora various types of grassland, which demonstrate a microprint of QNNP's grassland, and feed for livestock in the region. It means much for better conserving and utilizing these wetlands given the place's important green gene bank as well as beautiful nature endowments. However, there are many corrals along the river that are made of mud dug from the wetlands. There are no measures to reinforce these conventional corrals and the mud does not bind tight. When there are heavy rains in summer, these corrals would fall apart easily. It is very difficult for grassland of high altitude to restore balance, not to mention that these grasses were eradicated. Hence, damages due to these conventional corrals are lasting and irrevocable. In the meantime, rebuilding and repairing these corrals also require much labor input from local communities, which may repeat year after year.
In this regard, the Pendeba Society, with generous support from Lao Niu Foundation, plans to transform conventional corrals along Pengqu River into earth brick or stone corrals, which will better protect the wetland ecosystems in QNNP. Therefore, from August 1st to 8th, 2012, staff from the Pendeba Society went on a survey about conventional corrals in Chazi, Didong, Cangmuda, Dongba and Enba Villages in Tingri County and Daqu and Nailong Village in Nyalam County. Coordinated by village chiefs and leaders, with some of them being our Pendebas, our staff had a close investigation of conservation conditions of wetlands along the river, and examined usage changes of grassland resources as well as soil erosion and degradation. Through the survey, we have found that damages to the wetlands have been severe. Though it has been banned for years to dig wetlands, there are still large areas of destroyed wetlands in the region, which imposes enormous pressure on wetland conservation in QNNP.
The Pendeba Society selected as an Equator Prize 2012 finalist
The Pendeba Society is pleased to announce that our nomination for the Equator Prize 2012 was selected as one the Prize's finalists. The Equator Prize is awarded biennially to recognize and advance local sustainable development solutions for people, nature and resilient communities. As local and indigenous groups across the world chart a path towards sustainable development, the Equator Prize shines a spotlight on their efforts by honoring them on an international stage.
This year's Technical Advisory Committee reviewed 812 nominations from 113 countries in ten languages and found the level of competition very high. Of these, the Pendeba Society's nomination had the distinction of being selected as one of only 103 finalists. Though we did not make it to the final award, we are still appreciative of the honor of being an Equator Prize 2012 finalist, which shows a positive recognition and support of our work on the planet's "Third Pole". We will certainly keep up our work and hopefully will gain the Prize in the near future. By this chance, we would like to thank all those people who have consistently supported us and helped us grow. Tashi Telek!

In January, 2003, my girlfriend at the time and I got our first APs. As many of you will agree, my way of looking at Disneyland totally changed at that moment. Within a couple of visits rather than rushing around to get on as many rides as possible we started to slow down and to really enjoy the atmosphere in the park. Possibly the biggest part of that for us was that we started to spend time on each visit listening to Rod and we quickly grew to love his music and personality. I still remember that the second time we stopped to see him he looked at me with a real expression of recognition, which really impressed me. Although I never really got a chance to talk to him, he always had a friendly smile for me. I'm really looking forward to his return.Quote:

Griffin Postwrote a review of Hestra Vertical Cut Freeride Glove on November 30, 2014
Warm at first, not particularly durable
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit: True to size
I've had several pairs of these and must say they're great out of the box, but by the end of the year I usually have several blow outs. They mainly fail on the inside thumb seem at the pointer finger, ripping slowly until eventually your bare skin is showing through. So, I'd say if you are just skiing casually, they'll probably get you through the season, however, if you're looking for multiple years of use, you may want to look elsewhere.

Tobacco smoke is unquestionably the single greatest cause of preventable cancer cases. However, the link between smoking (including passive exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke) and breast cancer has been rather unclear, so far. Now, a newly published study, which appears in the current issue of the British Medical Journal, has strongly linked exposure to tobacco smoke with breast cancer risk.
More than 79,000 women (ages 50 to 79 years) enrolled in the enormous landmark, prospective Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study between 1993 and 1998. (This is the very same study that confirmed the long suspected link between hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer risk.) All participants in this huge clinical study provided detailed information regarding their history of both active and passive exposure to tobacco smoke. Known risk factors for breast cancer were also assessed, and accounted for, when analyzing this study's data. During more than 10 years of follow-up, 3,520 cases of breast cancer were diagnosed within this very large group of women.
Compared with women who had never smoked, former smokers were 9 percent more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer, while current active smokers were 16 percent more likely than never-smokers to develop breast cancer. Women who had smoked for 50 years or more were at especially high risk of developing breast cancer (they were 35 percent more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer when compared to never-smokers ).
Among women who had never smoked, women with 10 or more years of childhood exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke, or 20 or more years exposure as an adult, had a 32 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer than never-smokers who had not been exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke.
Taken together, these new findings from the powerful WHI study significantly link both active exposure to tobacco smoke and exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke with large increases in the risk of developing breast cancer. As if there were not already enough reasons to avoid tobacco, this very powerful prospective clinical research study's findings confirm yet another life-threatening risk associated with tobacco (including exposure to secondhand smoke).

Take a Hike: Cottonwood Creek Falls
Cottonwood Creek Falls
Before you go: You must display a Cleveland National Forest Adventure Pass to park on these forest lands. A $5 day-use or $30 annual pass may be purchased from a Cleveland ranger station or at some retail shops, including REI or the Mount Laguna general store farther up the mountain road.
Trailhead: From Interstate 8 heading east, exit at S1, Sunrise Highway, heading north. From this intersection, go about 1.8 miles, or just past mile marker 15, and park in the large turnout on the east side of S1. The trail begins at the northern edge of this parking area, near the power lines. The trail basically follows the power lines down the canyon. When you reach the canyon bottom, follow the trail as it turns sharply left to join Cottonwood Creek. Follow the creek upstream, taking care on the slippery boulders, to reach the upper falls.
Distance: About two miles round-trip. Allow one to two hours.
Difficulty: Moderate.
NORTH COUNTY The hike to Cottonwood Creek Falls in Laguna is one of the easiest to a waterfall in the county.
In just under a mile one-way, descending about 500 feet down through dense and bushy chaparral, you reach the wide-open riparian habitat of cottonwood, arroyo willow and oak trees that line Cottonwood Creek.
That dense brushy beginning is accompanied by an annoyance everyone on the trail mentioned: flies. Most of them won't hurt you but will likely bother you with their persistent buzzing around your body. Add a few big horseflies that do bite and complaints can be louder.
But soon you will reach the bottom of this creek bed, and the breezes and sounds of running water will put those pesky flies behind you.
The willows wave their spring green leaves down here and the scenery becomes quite pretty along Cottonwood Creek.
The creek lies in a deep canyon in Cleveland National Forest here on the Laguna mountain plateau.
According to a 2005 land management study for the forest, Cottonwood Creek is one of three rivers in Laguna being considered for Wild and Scenic River designation (the other two are the San Luis Rey River and San Mateo Creek).
Such designation as part of the National Wild and Scenic River System comes if a river is free-flowing and possesses one or more remarkable values, including scenery, geology, fish and wildlife and history.
Cottonwood Creek certainly offers lovely scenery, flows year-round — though to a far lesser degree in late summer — and several sites in its 11.9-mile corridor have been found to have prehistoric evidence. "Some (sites) have exhibited evidence of contact between the local inhabitants and the Hohokam pueblo builders of Arizona, which is a rare finding for California," says the 2005 study. "The cultural resources found within the creek corridor are therefore considered to be outstandingly remarkable, and the creek is found to be eligible for designation as a recreational river."
Several people had braved their way through the flies on the day we were there late last month and were hiking upstream to explore the handful of falls along Cottonwood Creek.

Communal rage begets communal euphoria. Way in the back, by the bar, a couple guys from Dragonforce casually saunter by and start picking up chicks. Let the high-five be unbroken.

Yeah, that Al Davis horror show was on the front page of the SF Chronicle Sports section today. I was eating breakfast at the time.ReplyDelete
I think he should just hire Christopher Lee to start playing him at public appearances and be done with it.
Good God, when did Al Davis become a sith lord?ReplyDelete
Also, I seriously can't wait for the 3DS, even though it costs as much as a PSP did when it was launched.
I wish they'd get thoroughly burned and come to the conclusion that it's time to start creating new franchises.ReplyDelete
Yah I agree, Nintendo is a lot like Disney. They cling to their Walt Disney and his creations, or in this case Shigeru Miyamoto and there's a reason, Mickey sells better than Wall-e or Hunchback of Notre Dame and is timeless. So, they make experimental games (e.g. Mario Galaxy) and slap Mario in it just so people don't ignore it (a la Pikimin) and release traditional games (like Mario or Zelda).ReplyDelete
I can't argue with their tactics, I mean when a main Zelda or Mario games gets a rating below 90% or fails to sell a bajillion copies, then they might want to rethink things. Seeing as the recent Metroid M, a deviation from tradition, was received like a turd in a blanket I think they will just steady the course. For the rest, well that's why I own a PS3, 360, and iPhone as well.
