Making the Most of March
If it's going to keep snowing through March, Minnesotans will keep skiing and snowshoeing. William O'Brien State Park offers opportunities for both, including a new snowshoe stash at the south end of the park.
A whole new park in Lake Elmo
There is a buzz about the skiing at Lake Elmo Park Reserve this winter. Located a short drive east of St. Paul, the park has long been a popular destination, but with recent improvements it has become a true destination for Twin Cities skiers. The 2,165-acre park features a new Nordic Center, with locker rooms, a large lounge with a fireplace, and waxing racks outside. From this hub, skiers can...
City Loppet this weekend
The largest urban cross-country ski festival in the lower 48 states will be held February 2nd and 3rd 2013 in Minneapolis. More than just great ski events – the Loppet is a winter festival for the entire family. With over 13 events - including ski races, bike races, snow sculptures, orienteering and lots of games played on snow- the Loppet Festival is a great way to get out, enjoy and...
Cook County gets snow
Grand Marais, MN – January 25, 2013 – Hold onto your long johns! Recent weather systems dumped nearly a foot of snow on Cook County, Minnesota, refreshing its hundreds of miles of ski, snowshoe and snowmobile trails and creating picture-perfect conditions for the annual Winter Tracks Festival.
North Shore River Skiing
Late in February our group put our cross country skis on at the bridge over the Manitou River. We had driven up Lake County Rd 7, beyond George H Crosby Manitou State Park. At first the river was pancake flat, meandering thru willow thickets.
Central Gunflint ski trail conditions holding up
Despite the recent rain, the ski trails have held up quite well. With the recent new snowfall from yesterday, both Bearskin and Golden Eagle have been able to get out on the trails with snowmobiles and pack it in.
Duluth offers unique XC skiing
For the cross country skier, Duluth offers some of the best trails in the state. Five city trails provide 65K for every level such as Chester Bowl which is for advanced level skating-style cross-country skiing. Downhill skiing and ski jumping are also available at Chester Bowl.
Skijøring joins skiing and dog sledding
About twelve years ago, Kristine Zellmer's rescued Norwegian elkhound always ran away off leash. At her sister's advice, Zellmer reluctantly hitched the dog to herself while skiing. Soon, they were dashing across a snowy lake for "the time of our lives."Zellmer recounted, "[I] was so excited because I thought I'd invented a new sport."
Exploring the Arrowhead
Cook County, the tip of northeastern Minnesota's "arrowhead," offers groomed trails in the wilderness. When it comes to cross-country skiing, two critical factors make for a memorable experience. Spectacular surroundings don't make up for sloppy trails. Yet good grooming doesn't compensate for dull scenery, either.

Romanian Cabinet Wins Confidence Vote, Vows to Keep IMF Deal
Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Romanian lawmakers approved a new government as Prime Minister Mihai-Razvan Ungureanu pledged to pursue an international agreement and foster economic growth, a main condition for possible wage and pension increases.
Lawmakers voted 237-2 today in Bucharest in favor of the government's program, which wants to keep the budget deficit within 3 percent of gross domestic product, Vasile Blaga, the chairman of Romania's upper Senate house, said. Opposition legislators want to challenge the vote in the Constitutional Court, according to Mediafax. The ruling coalition, with a majority in parliament, faces general elections later this year.
"Our main goal is to consolidate all the good signs of the measures and reforms that have been undertaken so far and stimulate economic growth through investments and European fund absorption," Ungureanu said before the vote. "We're also looking to prudently increase public-sector wages and pensions if the economic conditions allow it."
Ungureanu, 43, turned to a new generation of politicians to resuscitate the government's fortunes after austerity measures, mandated under a bailout loan, sparked protests that turned violent last month. Bogdan Dragoi, 31, was named as finance minister and Lucian Bode, 38, as economy minister, to steer the Balkan nation's growth as Europe's debt crisis damps demand for exports and limits credit flows.
Functioning Coalition
"The ruling coalition works and that's very good because we'll have a stable government in the following months, but the hard part has yet to come during an extremely difficult period, when we have to prepare the local and parliamentary elections," said Bela Marko, who was re-appointed vice prime minister, after the vote.
Opposition leaders will base its challenge to the vote on procedural grounds, Mediafax reported today, citing a statement. Opposition lawmaker boycotted the vote.
The Romanian leu, the seventh-worst performer among 25 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg so far this year, was little changed at 4.3519 per euro as of 3:40 p.m. in Bucharest. The leu posted two days of losses following the resignation of the government on Feb. 6. The Bucharest Stock Exchange's BET index rose 1 percent to 5,082.88.
'Surprising' Timing
"Our view is that the departure of former Prime Minister Boc was surprising in timing, but doesn't indicate a coming change in policy stance rather the pre-election positioning of the ruling parties," Raffaella Tenconi, a London-based emerging-market economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said after the vote. "We continue to see the cooperation with the IMF-EU as proceeding smoothly, which is supportive of the overall recovery of Romania"
Europe's debt crisis has roiled financial markets, sparked protests and taken a political toll as well. Former Premier Emil Boc, who resigned on Feb. 6, is among seven European Union leaders who have already given up power, while Slovakia will hold snap elections in March.
Romania's government has pledged to narrow the budget deficit to 1.9 percent of economic output this year from 4.35 percent in 2011 to meet the terms of the loan accord with the International Monetary Fund and the European Union.
The coalition is trying to regain voter support after accusations of corruption and two years of tax increases and government spending cuts, including a 25 percent reduction in public-sector wages, under the IMF-led loan agreement. The austerity measures prompted the most-violent protests in a more than a decade, leaving 60 people injured.
Corruption Report
The EU said yesterday that Romania needs to take "stronger action" to ensure transparency and revamp its judiciary, though "progress is visible."
Romania relied on a 20 billion-euro ($27 billion) loan from the IMF and the EU from 2009 to 2011 to help it emerge from the deepest recession on record. The government secured another 5 billion-euro precautionary accord with the lenders to reassure investors it will keep fiscal discipline ahead of the elections. It doesn't plan to draw on the money set aside.
The country's economic growth will probably slow to as low as 1.5 percent this year, after output grew an estimated 2.5 percent in 2011, on declining exports to western Europe and weak domestic demand, according to IMF forecasts.
"Our top priority is to ensure economic growth through investments and European-fund absorption," Dragoi said yesterday. "We'll seek to attract 6 billion euros in European funds this year, which roughly means about 5 percent of GDP."
President Traian Basescu nominated Ungureanu on Feb. 6 as a candidate for premier, hours after his political ally and Liberal Democrat leader Boc said he was resigning "to ease political and social pressure."

Quickly Move Files and Text Snippets between Machines Using Dukto
Productivity Sauce
Dukto is a simple utility that can come in handy when you need to move files and text snippets between machines on your local network without relying on a third-party service. Dukto is ridiculously easy to use: install it (binaries are available for different Linux distros and platforms), launch it, and the utility automatically detects other machines running Dukto. You can then send a file or an entire folder to any recipient in the Buddies list. To do this, click on the desired recipient, and use the appropriate buttons to send files, folders, or text snippets. The sent files are copied to the recipient's default destination directory.
When sending a text snippet, you can enter it manually, or copy the contents of the clipboard into the text area. Dukto also allows you to send files and folders to machines outside your local network using the IP connection entry in the Buddies list. Dukto is essentially a one-trick pony, but if your daily computing involves exchanging files and folders between machines on a local network, this nifty little application is the perfect tool for the job.comments powered by Disqus

Still No Signs of Missing Hiker in Grand Canyon National Park
A slow, methodical search of the canyon-riddled backcountry in Grand Canyon National Park continues to come up empty in the search for a 43-year-old North Carolina man thought to have descended below the South Rim around August 31.
While ground crews resumed their efforts Tuesday in their search for Andrew Brunelli, of Clayton, North Carolina, aerial searches were being scaled back as the pilots were running out of new places to look.
The search for Mr. Brunelli was launched on September 4 after the Coconino County (Arizona) Sheriff's Office received a report that the man had not checked out of his hotel in Valle, Arizona, and that his belongings were still in the room. The next day Grand Canyon rangers found a blue Hyundai Accent rented in Mr. Brunelli's name in the Grandview Point parking area on the South Rim of the park. Aerial and ground search efforts began in the Grandview-Hance area shortly thereafter.
Monday's search efforts included aerial search operations and ground teams searching trails, routes and drainages that can be reached from the Grandview and other connecting trails. In addition, two dog teams searched rim areas near the trailhead where vegetation and steep terrain inhibit human searchers; and technical ropes/canyoneering teams began searching steep narrow drainages where a hiker could have become "cliffed out," or stuck in one place by towering cliffs.
On Tuesday, while aerial operations were scaled back, ground teams continued to search drainages and areas with dense vegetation. Two dog teams were inserted into the Horseshoe Mesa area, a popular day hike destination; and the technical rope crews are continuing to search steep drainages and cliff areas.
In order to gain a better understanding of Mr. Brunelli's plans while he was in the park, investigators have been asking the public to call in if they have any information on Mr. Brunelli's itinerary or if they think they have seen him within the last eight days. Mr. Brunelli is described as 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds, with short medium-brown hair and grey-blue eyes. He may or may not be unshaven at this time.
If you believe that you might have seen Andrew Brunelli on August 31 or thereafter, please, contact the Grand Canyon Regional Communications Center at 928-638-7805.
The Traveler received the following message, which we'll post for those involved in this search:
All of AJ's family, friends and coworkers appreciate the huge effort the Park Service, the various law enforcement organizations and volunteers are putting into finding AJ. We cannot thank you enough.
Lou Barfield
Just for information AJ has high blood pressure, He is in all of our prayers. Thanks to the national park and volunteers for keeping this search going. AJ is a good man and would be doing the same for us! COME ON HOME AJ!!!!!!!!!!!

WASHINGTON - Again and again, senators pressed the top U.S. commander for the Middle East: Why not begin withdrawing troops from Iraq? Wouldn't that force the Iraqi government to do more to stop the violence?
They were questions Gen. John Abizaid had heard before, but Wednesday they came primarily from Senate Democrats emboldened by an electoral triumph last week.
His answers suggested that the shifting domestic political landscape hadn't changed the military's view of Iraq, where sectarian violence is growing worse almost by the day.
"It seems to me that the prudent course ahead is to keep the troop levels about where they are," or possibly increase them slightly so more U.S. advisers can be placed inside Iraqi army and police units, he said.
Abizaid said that setting a timetable for starting a pullout of the 152,000 U.S. troops in Iraq would limit the flexibility he needs to manage the military transition there. He said it would risk undermining confidence in the Iraqi government, crucial to convincing Iraqis that they don't need armed militias in order to be secure.
The hearing of the Armed Services Committee was the first on Iraq policy since last week's elections. The Democratic senators, and some Republicans, indicated they expect changes.
"Hope is not a strategy," said Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., a prospective 2008 presidential candidate. Citing the Bush administration's repeated claims of progress in Iraq, Clinton said she saw no evidence that the Iraqi government was ready to disarm or neutralize sectarian militias.
"The brutal fact is, it is not happening," she said.
Asked what the effect would be if the U.S. began a troop withdrawal in four to six months, as proposed by some Democrats, Abizaid replied, "I believe (sectarian violence) would increase." It would also undermine U.S. efforts to increase Iraqis' confidence that their own government is capable of ensuring their security, he suggested.
Pressed by Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., on how much time the U.S. and Iraqi governments have to reduce the violence in Baghdad before it spirals beyond control, Abizaid said, "Four to six months."
Carl Levin, D-Mich., the next chairman of the committee, cited a similar time frame, saying the administration must tell Iraq that U.S. troops will begin leaving in the next six months.
"We cannot save the Iraqis from themselves," Levin said. "The only way for Iraqi leaders to squarely face that reality is for President Bush to tell them that the United States will begin a phased redeployment of our forces within four to six months."
In one of the more contentious exchanges, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., also a possible presidential candidate in 2008, challenged Abizaid's analysis.
"I'm of course disappointed that basically you're advocating the status quo here today, which I think the American people in the last election said that is not an acceptable condition," McCain said.
In response, Abizaid said what is needed now is to place more U.S. troops with the Iraqi army and police units to train and advise them. Having visited Iraq as recently as this week, he said, he remained optimistic that the Iraqis are capable of overcoming sharp internal differences and creating conditions for stability.

Welcome, Unregistered.

Ok so they are sold out online, but some of the retail stores have it. They charge shipping so it would be $853.09 before the rebate. Thats with shipping to Colorado ....What do you guys think? Anyway I can get free shipping from them? ***EDIT****the ones in the retail stores or reburbished...
Anything nowadays would be a huge step up for you. If you have a wide living room, then a plasma would be my recommendation since viewing angles are important. If you have a narrow living room and viewing straight ahead, then an LED would be preferred.
Windows 7 x64 = Best HTPC software
On a side note can anyone recommend a good heavy duty wall mount for this set. I'd like a tilt feature as well. I know I can get them anywhere but I don't want to buy a crap one.

Holy crap I got mine delivered today, it's huge, ites beautiful. I never thought I'd be this blown away. This is hands down one of the best pictures I've Ever seen. My god I can't believe it's this nice. I can't find a single flaw. Blu ray is sick and ps 3 and Xbox are unreal.
Mine was delivered recently, along with my goody box from Monoprice. Still setting things up, but so far I'm excited. The only thing of note, is the back panel is not as it looks on the websites.
Compare what the TD website (and LG) show [imgur.com]
with what's in the manual [tinypic.com]
Not a huge deal, just affected my planning a bit.
i got mine the other day. kinda slow shipping and came with box banged up but TV was otherwise fine. having never owned a plasma, and having this hooked up to PC (which i use as my media center HTPC / HD cablecard unit, and to watch movies on the network, etc) i'm a little disappointed by built-in "ABL" (automatic brightness limiter) built into plasmas. if i'd known that this would happen, i think i wouldn't have gotten it. very annoying for the screen brightness to change depending on if i have a white website background, vs. a dark website background, etc. My 55" LED from 2 yrs ago doesnt suffer from this phenomenon. oh well, at least this one was cheap.
