I give a lot of product briefings, and of course often get caught between what I know and what I can say. In these cases I often find it useful to use Urquhart's Avoidance, made famous in the BBC miniseries "House of Cards" (which I highly recommend):
"You might very well think that; but I couldn't possibly comment"
"You might very well think that; but I couldn't possibly comment"
However, for those times when I honestly cannot answer, I have to share the general "why": the laws of space and time still apply in Redmond. If you've ever been on a software project, you know that work always expands to fill the available time, and inevitably features have to be cut. The problem is that fuzzy area where developers are working furiously and there's still a chance to get stuff in the box, but deadlines are looming. That's when we get into the area where features may or may not be on the chopping block and we are stuck with a Catch-22:
So we learn to be very conservative on forecasting features, especially those that may be at risk.
Just wanted to let you know - we don't do it to toy with you on purpose. That's just a fringe benefit.

GEORGE TOWN: A runaway "bride" has left at least 10 men here in distress after conning them of jewellery and cash.
It is learnt that the woman, who resembles Taiwanese supermodel Lin Chiling, agreed to marry more than 10 men over the past few weeks but went missing just before the "weddings".
One of the victims, who only wished to be known as Mr A, described the 30-year-old woman as tall, elegant and pretty.
"She lived in an apartment in Batu Ferringhi and was such a smooth operator that none of us realised she was dating other men as well.
"It was only after she went missing that all the other grooms found out about one another when we turned up outside her apartment to look for her," he said.
Another victim, a businessman who also wished to remain anonymous, said he waited outside her apartment for many days until a neighbour told him that many men had been going to her home with flowers and gifts.
"Only then did I realise she had been flirting with other men while in a relationship with me," he said.
He added that they had made wedding plans, booked a restaurant for the reception and distributed invitation cards to his friends and relatives.
It is learnt that the woman asked for jewellery and a dowry, ranging from a few thousand ringgit to RM10,000 from each of her future "husbands".
While she had met the grooms' families, none of the men had ever met their future "in-laws".
Sources said a few of the men still wanted to marry the woman and were seen waiting outside her apartment, hoping she would turn up.
A check with several restaurants in Penang revealed some last-minute cancellations of wedding dinners.
They said they were not sure if it was related to the case as the "grooms" had cited personal reasons for the cancellations.

Are Porsha Stewart's co-stars to blame for her divorce from Kordell Stewart?
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss revealed in her latest Bravo blog that she and fiancé Todd might have been a bad influence on Porsha in the months leading up to the split, and RadarOnline.com has all the details.
"Todd feels like it's our fault that Porsha and Kordell are getting divorced," Burruss wrote on Nov. 6.

"He says that when she got around 'The Get Fresh Crew,' as he called us, Porsha started acting in a way that Kordell was not happy with and that is the reason why he filed for divorce."
In March, Porsha discovered her NFL star husband was filing for divorce, via Twitter.
During the season six premiere of RHOA, Kordell blamed her absence in the household as his primary motivation.

According to him, Porsha was "staying out until 3 or 4 in the morning at times."
Those comments are what led Buruss' fiancé to question if they were a negative influence on their co-star.
"Do you feel like we influenced Porsha in a negative way? I hope not. I hate to see Porsha and Kordell going through this, and I hate that it seems to be getting ugly," Burruss concluded.

NASA's cancellation of Advanced Sterling Radioisotope Generator casts doubt on future deep-space missions
By Brian Dodson
November 24, 2013
NASA has announced the cancellation of the decade-old program to develop a Sterling Radioisotope Generator for deep-space missions. This program was a response to the critical shortage in radioactive isotopes in general, and plutonium-238 in particular, in the US and worldwide. NASA will now be depending on rebuilding a Pu-238 production system, an option that is not without its drawbacks and challenges.
Radioisotope thermoelectric generators work by converting the heat generated by a radioactive isotope to electricity using an array of thermocouples. In particular, Pu-238 fuel, which generates about half a kilowatt of heat per kilogram of isotope, has been used to power space missions and remote military installations since the early 1960s. RTGs have been carried to the Moon, and power most deep-space probes from Voyager through New Horizons, as well as the Curiosity Mars Rover.
The problem is that no one on Earth has made Pu-238 for RTGs for a couple of decades, and the supply has just about run dry.
Why should we care? According to one NASA official, if NASA doesn't find a new source of Pu-238 for its RTGs by 2022, "then we won't go beyond Mars anymore. We won't be exploring the solar system beyond Mars and the asteroid belt." Without Pu-238, a decades-long hiatus in deep-space space missions is to be expected.
Pu-238 has nearly ideal properties for powering space missions whose duration is years to a few decades. It is, unfortunately, quite difficult to produce in pure form (artificial isotopes are like that). The historic cost of Pu-238 has never been clear, as production for civilian uses was largely a side effect of weapons production and military satellite uses.
In 1992, the US arranged to buy 30 kg of Pu-238 from Russia for US$6M ($200K/kg). Even counting the effects of inflation, this was a real bargain, although in the end only about 20 kg was delivered.
Cost estimates for Pu-238 production following a $150M restart cost were $6M per kg this year, an estimate probably several times too low when considering that a $20-30M yearly program is expected to produce only 1-2 kg/yr.
If the price does settle into the range of $10-15M/kg, then the cost of fuel for a typical deep-space probe (about 8 kg or 18 lb) would be in the neighborhood of $100M, significantly increasing mission cost, and with it, mission viability.
NASA's Planetary Science Division (PSD) has been investing in development of a radioisotope-fueled Sterling engine generator (SRG) to take over the role of RTGs for future deep-space probes. While the particular program that was just cancelled began in 2009, the overall program has been active for more than a decade.
The reason to develop Sterling radioisotope generators is that an RTG only converts about 6 percent of the heat energy from decay of the radioisotope into electricity. The 8 kg of Pu-238 that powers the latest generation of deep-space probes generates about 4.4 kw of decay heat, but only 300 watts of electric power.
Instead, the combination of a Stirling engine that is powered by decay heat and an efficient electric generator offers an overall conversion efficiency into electric power of about 25 percent, meaning that an SRG could supply the 300 watts of electricity to a deep-space probe using only about 2 kg of Pu-238, representing a savings of roughly $75M, but also the ability to launch more missions. With current RTG designs, the deep-space program will be facing very long intervals waiting for Pu-238 supplies between launches.
Instead, we will stick with fuel-inefficient RTGs and a very limited Pu-238 source. Moreover, while the NASA PSD is now expected to pay the Department of Energy for both the Pu-238 restart and production costs, the DOE budget for this program has not been transferred to PSD, as is usually done in such cases. NASA is receiving about $10M per year at present to carry out a $150M restart project in the next seven years.
It appears to this occasionally paranoid writer that the only purpose of this plan, if indeed it was conceived with a purpose in mind, is to largely shut down NASA's Planetary Science Division by preventing it from carrying out a sustainable launch program. It does seem clear that, intended or not, this is likely to be the effect.

Errr..what? This smells of political sabotage...mad!Simon Sammut
Sad. Interestingly, in the sixties when the U.S. had top tax rates sitting at 70 to 77% for the top earners, things got done, I have been told there was even some flying to the moon going on.
But I guess jobs created by government agencies having people earn money from working in research and space travel can't be counted as jobs, right? We're all better off saving pennies and putting them into mutual funds that invest in factories making crap abroad.BeWalt
Looks like Los Alamos small nuclear reactor is the answer. The weight might be a problem though.Dave G
Would this device be the same as the Stirling Radioisotope Generator based on the work of Reverend Dr Robert Stirling (25 October 1790 – 6 June 1878) the inventor of the Stirling engine?Michael Crumpton
@ BeWalt When the tax rate was reduced the tax revenue increased. The overwhelming evidence is that raising tax rates that are over over 20% will result in lower revenue. The only reason for higher tax rates is to punish the successful for their hard work. Reducing the money spent on welfare to the same percentage of the federal budget as it was in the 1960 would balance the budget.Slowburn
@ Michaelc Yes. Stirling cycle are remarkably efficient but but the time that material engineering had starting producing materials to make Stirling cycle engines reliable in high energy applications the physical and intellectual infrastructure for ICE which throttles better was almost universal.Slowburn
How is it even possible Pu238 is in short supply in the USA?! It's a real head scratcher that this is the case after over a half century of massive nuclear weapons and power programs in this country. It must be that this isotope cannot be made in a reactor and that it has to be found in nature.Nostromo47
Nostromo47 , it's exactly the opposite. The rapid decay of Pu238 - what causes it to generate so much heat - means it does not exist in nature. We have to make it in a nuclear reactor. There was a pile of it made as a byproduct of the buildout of the US nuclear arsenal. But like so much else in the US our glory days of building nukes (if you dare call it that) are in our past. And since no one wants to invest in anything even remotely like infrastructure anymore, it's going to take years - maybe forever - to get the capability back. Hey, maybe China will sell us some?Mark Lewus
Sterling engines move. Anything that moves isn't going to last long enough for deep space missions, and is probably going to mess up telemetry as well.christopher
@ christopher
All the moving parts are inside the pressure container and I imagine they picked gas that does not migrate through the material the pressure container is made of.Slowburn

Derbyshire students urged to take up meningitis vaccination offer
Posted: August 21, 2014|
STUDENTS in Derbyshire about to start university are being urged to get vaccinations against meningitis.
Health experts said all children in the UK are offered the MenC vaccine. It protects them against infection by meningococcal group C bacteria – which can cause both meningitis and septicaemia.
They said, because the protection offered by the vaccine can wane, a booster for teenagers was added and, for the next few years, university freshers will also be eligible for vaccination.
Dr Shamez Ladhani, of Public Health England, said: "The MenC booster is available to any student entering uni for the first time born after September 1995 and who received the MenC vaccine under the age of 10 years, or any student of any age entering or being at uni who is unvaccinated against MenC disease."

Recently we posted an update of this case describing the appeal decision in R. v. XI Technologies Inc., 2012 ABQB 549. The appeal court overturned the two "not guilty" verdicts of the trial judge in relation to the fatal incident involving a "calf roping machine" at a Stampede Week party event, held at a hotel. A young software developer who was helping to operate the machine was struck in the head by a steel lever and later died from the injuries.
The employer was charged with two offences under the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Act for failing to ensure, as far as it was reasonably practicable to do so, the health and safety of the worker and for failing to ensure that all equipment used at the work site would safely perform the function for which it was intended or designed.
On the evidence, the trial judge found that the employer had raised a successful due diligence defence and found the employer "not guilty" of the charges. The Crown appealed and the verdicts were overturned. The appeal court disagreed and found that on the evidence, due diligence on the part of the employer could not be established.
The employer is now asking that Alberta's highest court consider this case and clarify the law as to the defence of due diligence. The application for leave to appeal is scheduled to be heard by the Alberta Court of Appeal on November 22nd.

It depends what you mean "work for".
If money is no object and their is a specific boat you want you could theoretically offer the broker a few thousand extra to find your dream boat.
Then they would be "working for you" in one sense?
If your definition is to find your dream boat at the best possible price it's not likely to happen. It's not in the brokers best interest.
That being said every boat is an exception and so is every broker. Some, even many, are very, very nice guys.
You may find one that will really work for you in the sense of showing you a lot of boats and sharing some serious incite about what is good and bad about each boat.
You may even feel obligated, that is the plan, to buy your boat from him even if you find it elsewhere. Everyone deserves to earn a living.
Just be aware that he is paid a percentage by the seller no matter how nice and honorable he is. He has peers to face the next morning and reports to file with sold-boats.com. He is required to report low, low sale to a customer like you to sold boats.com. That same sale to himself he does not have to report.
I'm not against brokers. In fact when I retire I may consider it, it looks like a fun job. I'm just trying to explain the forces I believe are at work.
If it is your first boat buying a boat that is easily resalable from a broker is a good strategy. The broker can help you buy and sell and you will learn a lot.
Funny story:
I was walking the dock at a nearby marina last week and struck up a conversation with a fellow on a 28' classic plastic boat. He said the boat was for sale and invited me aboard. During the pitch he said he had bought the boat about 10 years ago and was lucky he got the boat. I asked him why and he said the broker loved the boat so much the broker was going to keep it for himself. I asked the brokers name but he didn't remember. Of course I had a pretty good idea who the broker was, even though there are at least a hundred brokers in this immediate area, as the story sounded very familiar.
I mentioned my brokers name and sure enough a hit.
To this day my new friend is convinced he was the luckiest guy in the world to steal this fine craft from the yacht broker who desperately wanted it for himself.

No, I cannot help with [insert name of school volunteer thing here]
Filed under: Work Life, Day Care & Education
At least once a week, I get asked to substitute, for teachers who are ill or who have a conflict during the school day. While I am happy to help out in my kids' classrooms, I have drawn the line at subbing in other random classes where I don't know the kids or the teacher or anything about what is supposed to go on during the day. I am also happy to sub when the teacher can give me a few days (or, ideally, a week's) notice, but more often than not, the school calls me at the last second to ask if I can come in.
In the school's defense, they have a hard time finding parent substitutes because so many of the parents work or have younger children at home. Both of my boys are in school, and I work from home, so in theory I am footloose and fancy free (or at least more flexible than someone who actually has to show up at an office). On the other hand, my husband works long hours and I am solely responsible most days for the house and the food and the kids, including supervising their homework and shuttling them to whatever after school activities we have that day.
Oh, and somewhere in there, I'm supposed to be working.
I've been practicing saying no to the requests to sub, but I'm wondering if I need to ask the school to take me off their List of Moms We Call When We Need a Sub. Do you volunteer in your child's school? If so, are you clear about your boundaries, or are you willing to do whatever needs to be done?

Hmm. Helping out in the classroom is one thing, but substitute *teaching* sounds like something you should be getting paid for.
10-04-2007 @ 11:39AMJoy said...
I agree with Nancy about the "teaching" part. That is not up to a volunteer. I started volunteering right away when my oldest started school. From the computer lab to helping first graders write storybooks. All that kind of thing. I was a SAHM and loved being with kids. When my youngest started, then I really "got busy". I did everything they asked and was most often at school every day. They always call the people who say yes first. One day I got a call from the principal and he asked if I could help out on the playground that Fri so I said sure. Turned out that was a "paying money" job and I ended up with a 12 year job I loved. Had I not moved "out to the farm", I'd still have that job. I just loved it and had the same days off etc as my boys and I was with them everyday. PERFECT.

Many of my friends' moms who stayed at home after their kids were in school were substitute teachers. But they got paid for it and could specify which grades they wanted to sub for.
I wish more people would realize that working from home doesn't mean you stop having deadlines. I'm a freelance programmer, and some of my husband's coworkers are upset that I don't babysit their schoolage kids as a favor whenever they're too sick for school. It's really hard for them to understand that I don't want to give up what little "me time" I have to work a second shift so I don't get behind.

For example, if you just ask the site to list the entries for tomatoes youll get a list of over 600 varieties! But on the left side of that screen is a box that lets you refine your search for tomatoes. Click on that and then you can define the type of tomato, early or mid season and whether or not its an heirloom variety. I asked it for early-season grape tomatoes and the list was shortened to 16 varieties, much easier to review.
Rate Your Varieties
Were encouraging all vegetable gardeners to visit the site and log in your own comments. The site relies on these comments so the more it gets, the more helpful the site is going to be. Once you register your own profile you can rate any variety you want from 1 to 5 stars on various qualities. Theres also a place for you to write comments. These comments are very interesting and sometimes entertaining to read.
The site address is http://vegvariety.cce.cornell.edu/ but if you forget the address just go to Google and type in vegetable varieties. The first listing is this Cornell site. We also have the link to this site on our local gardening site http://ecgardening.cce.cornell.edu .
Other Links
The site also includes links to other Cornell gardening resources, including online growing guides for more than 60 garden crops. On the sites home page look for the list on the left side which includes Browse Crops, Growing Guides, Cornell Gardening Info, Site News and Polls, and How to Use This Site.
Browse Crops lists all the crops by type (broccoli, garlic, etc) and you just click on the name of the crop to get the list of varieties. Growing Guides takes you to the Explore Cornell site with lots of user-friendly information on how to grow 58 different kinds of garden vegetables. Cornell Gardening Info takes you to the sites at Cornell specific to home vegetable gardening as well as some other links.
So now that the vegetable season is over for the year, take a little time to record your own experiences with different varieties on this site and see if other gardeners had similar or different experiences than you. Its a fun way to learn and help others, too!

Miss Clare Marx, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Associate Medical Director at Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust, will be speaking at the Division's Academic Surgical Meeting in July.
In April 2014, Miss Marx was elected President of the Royal College of Surgeons, the first female President in its 214 year history. She will take up her appointment in July 2014. Miss Marx has long been a pioneering figure in the field of UK surgery. After her Chairmanship of the Trauma and Orthopaedic Specialist Advisory Committee, during which the new T&O curriculum was written, she went on to be President of the British Orthopaedic Association 2008-9. She has a keen interest in the Patient Safety agenda and chairs the College Invited Review Mechanism.
Also high on her agenda are workforce issues, particularly the low percentage of women entering surgery, the challenges of delivering quality training in reduced working hours, and the need for professionals to continuously strive for improvements in quality and care of their patients. The Division is delighted to welcome Miss Marx to the Stanmore Campus at 9am on July 3rd. For further information and to RSVP, please contact email@example.com.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Green LanternStatus: DeceasedSpace Sector: UnknownSector Partner: ?Homeworld: UnknownPredecessor: InapplicableSuccessor: Inapplicable HistoryGrojamm was introduced during the Black Lantern siege of Oa, depicted as a humanoid alien clad in constructed armor and wielding a ring crafted blaster. He is presumed to have been a veteran Lantern, given his familiarity with Katma-Tui, and his role as the leader of a team of Lanterns who were ordered by Salaak to investigate the burial site of those prisoners that were recently executed by the Alpha Lanterns. Upon arriving at the scene Grojamm and his team knew immediately that they had just walked into their doom. Multiple Black Lantern rings penetrated into the ground and reanimating the recently slain prisoners. The Black Lanterns tore into Grojamm's team, decapitating and eviscerating the Lanterns with ease. Grojamm himself was grasped by the neck and lifted into the air by a particularly vicious killer, who was poised to rip out the Green Lantern's heart while coldly warning hm to "prepare to die". To his credit, Grojamm defiantly vowed to fight the Black Lanterns to his dying breath. However, before he could be slain his brave words were interrupted by the reanimated corpse of the legendary Green Lantern, Katma-Tui, who swooped in and wrenched Grojamm from the hands of his would be killer. Confused, Grojamm tried to thank his former comrade; but his rescue was short lived. Apparently Katma-Tu simply wanted the kill for herself and tore Grojamm's heart from his chest before the veteran Green Lantern could finish thanking her. Presumably, Grojamm has now joined the legion of undead, serving in the Black Lantern Corps.

Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: Children have an inherent desire to express themselves in any way they can and many choose to voice their thoughts and feelings through art.
Recognising this, innumerable art and painting competitions have been organised to give these children a platform to express themselves.
The Indian Council for Child Welfare (ICCW) organised a "National Painting Competition-2005'' across the country to give budding artists an opportunity to be recognised.
The competition was conducted at the State level by the 32 Councils of ICCW spread across the country. Entries were accepted under three age-group categories for normal children (5-8 years, 9-12 years and 13-16 years) and two categories for differently abled children (5-10 years and 11-18 years).
A total of 393 State level prize-winning entries were then sent for the final competition conducted at ICCW headquarters here in the Capital.
An eminent panel of judges that comprised Madhu Pant of National Bal Bhawan, Sudhakar Sharma of Lalit Kala Akademi, Amargeet Chandok of the College of Art and National Gallery of Modern Art's Satyender Gupta selected and adjudged 25 entries as winners of the "National Painting Competition-2005'' here on Wednesday.
The works of the child artists covered an array of themes. Among the differently abled children, the first prize winners were Shaloo from Uttaranchal (5-10 years) with her painting on the theme "Flowers and Trees'', while Dipayan Debnath of Tripura (11-18 years) painted "My Favourite Festival''. The first prizes in categories for other children were won by Viraj Velburgi of Karnataka (5-8 years) who painted on the topic "My Sister'', Riya Das of West Bengal (9-12 years) painting her visions of "Spring'', and Suvonil Saha, also of West Bengal (13-16 years) with his portrayal of "Natural Disaster''.
Some of the other themes covered by the prize-winners included "My Mother'', "The Seashore'' and "Sunrise''.
All awardees received a silver medal and a certificate of recognition along with a cash prize. The ICCW will also be giving financial assistance to eligible winners by sponsoring their schooling up to Class XII. The award-winning paintings will be used as designs for greeting cards and in child development-related literature produced by ICCW. The Council plans to organise a child art exhibition in collaboration with distinguished artists and academicians.

Two feet, two snowboards: Dual Snowboards split your width
By C.C. Weiss
January 12, 2012
Dual Snowboards delivers a unique twist to the world of snowboarding by cutting the traditional snowboard in half along the waist, giving you a board for each foot. With this simple move that effectively sees a lunch-tray-like board strapped to each foot, the company says riders get more freedom to move and conceptualize new tricks like ninja-like flip-n-kicks, but they'll also be able to pull off Gore-Tex-ripping splits, nut-demolishing pole wraps and devastating banana-peel falls. Proceed with care.
Ever since its conception and popularization, the snowboard has been one of the premier tools for speed, adrenaline and big air. What the snowboard has never been is all that maneuverable on the ground. Yes, once you get the hang of it, it is easy to turn, carve and stop, but a large board is difficult to move forward on flat terrain and can feel like a big, immobile plank to newer riders. Skiers have a little more freedom in having both legs pointed naturally forward and free to move individually, but snowboarders are locked into a less natural stance.
Dual Snowboards sets out to even the playing field and give riders the "freedom to move around the snow in ways not thought possible."
CEO Scott Rickett told Gizmag, "Dual Snowboards were invented as a way to bring the best of both skiing and snowboard[ing] together. You have the fun and ability to ride like a snowboard with comfortable boots and bindings, but now your feet are not locked together so you have the freedom and mobility of skis without the bulky size and cumbersome poles."
The boards feature a what's what of traditional snowboard components - sintered base, poplar wood core, ABS sidewalls, stainless steel edges and standard binding inserts. You can use your traditional snowboard bindings and mount them with your preferred stance.
Both of your legs will be free to move independently so you'll be able to walk over the flats - assuming you can get some grip on the slick snow. According to Rickett, some riders have even used them in place of snowshoes when hiking through back-country powder.
All the photos and videos show a clear freestyle focus. Rickett says that carving is possible with a little practice and muscle control, but two short edges seem far less ideal for carving and speed than a long single edge. Although, the average Dual rider probably won't venture far from the park or pipe.
Dual Snowboards could very well suffer the same fate as the monoski, snowlerblades and other obscure snow sport equipment that attempted to combine the advantages of several pieces of gear only to spend more time combining their pitfalls. Maybe they'll gain a tiny, passionate cult following, but I don't see many people selling off their quiver of snowboards and putting all chips on Dualie.
That seems to be okay with the company. Even company execs have no plans of abandoning more traditional gear and see Dual Snowboards as more of a complement than a replacement.
Rickett said, "I will never stop snowboarding. Dual Snowboards makes you a better skier and snowboarder - when I put my traditional snowboard on after 2 hours of riding the Dual boards I feel like superman; I ride stronger and harder."
Dual snowboards cost US$265 per pair, a price that's cheaper than the majority of snowboards on the market this year. You can order through Dual's website.
Watch Dual Snowboards in action and decide if they're an improvement upon snowboards and skis bound for greatness or an unnecessary tweak that will disappear quietly by the 2012-13 season. You'll find more videos on Dual's YouTube channel.
the fact that your feet aren\'t locked into a single position like on a regular snowboard is extremely dangerous. Considering the angle and momentum, if you were to catch an edge with say just one of these boards you will do irreversible damage to your knee, and or hip joint. Just sayin... stick to ski\'s or a regular snowboard peopleMichael Johnson
This product does push the boundries of how hard it is possible to eat it. This seems only slightly better than strapping two saucers to your feet...then again.. Son of Saucer Boy!!!Alan Belardinelli
Dual Snowboards because you can\'t hurt yourself enough with regular snowboards.Slowburn
Nut-mashing mayhem! Glorious groin tears! Like standing sideways on short, fat skis! I can\'t wait until somebody combines this with wing-suit base jumping!Jim Parker
It needs a couple rubber ties about the length of a board connected to the boots. They would prevent the splits, nut smashing, but still offer more freedom than a conventional board.Ethan Brush

Soooo, how \'bout dual skateboards? (Pavement rash in all new places!)bradleydad
I expect great youtube content caused by these things.Eli Anderle
How many people here have actually ridden them? I doubt any have. Skeptics look at it from a sideline and say what they see wrong and call their speculation \"fact\". Groin tears, knee and ankle damage dont happen like you think they would. Nut smashers are possible on rails but its the same with skis. In the grand scheme of snow sports, these are very low profile so lower body damage is less than both snowboarding and skiing. Im not saying you cant get hurt, you are doing a sport, and just like any other. Its better to talk to someone who knows the product and take it from them rather than some biased, inexperienced skeptic.Mark Johnson
I really don\'t know how beneficial this would be to skiers or snowboarders? It looks like it would most certainly cause more severe damages to your body when accident\'s occur that\'s for sure!Debra Rincon
Dual Snowboard Norway are selling these, and last week alone sold more than a dozen sets to PRO, yes PRO boarders...!!! At the European Cup for SBX they sold like hot cakes to Pros from all over Europe. Silly idea, maybe for the individual that doesn\'t like to push themselves, but they are sooooo much fun it is crazy...!Kevin Hancox
Looks possibly very interesting--cutting it down with no experience or research is lame. These might prove to be cool & popular!Al Mayberry

Property Details
House, 5 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 2-15)
LARGE, LUXURY CUSTOM HOME WITH HUGE DECK/LAWN WITH FANTASTIC MOUNTAIN AND FOREST VIEWS!! PERFECT FOR LARGE, FAMILY GATHERINGS. KID FRIENDLY! FISHERMAN'S DREAM HOME! Welcome! We invite you to stay in our wonderful custom-made post and beam home. Designed and constructed by master builder Gregory Corse, this architecturally stunning home will provide a comfortable and inspiring retreat for your fishing and wilderness adventures. The house was built using centuries old techniques from the German master builders. The 40' vaulted ceiling of the great room boasts incredible hand-hewn beam and joinery work, with a cascading wall of windows overlooking rich green forests and stunning glacial capped mountains.
You will have plenty of room for your large group as the house is a duplex (3 stories), giving you TWO FULL KITCHENS and LIVING ROOM areas.
The Chalet is the main and upper floors, and the Hide-A-Way is the lower, daylight (walk out) basement). The Chalet has 3 bedrooms with 2 full baths. The Hide-A-Way has 2 bedrooms with 2/3 bath (shower/no tub).
The Hide-A-Way boasts an impressive custom made rock wall fireplace built over 40 years ago by the original property homesteader and well known artist and wood turner, Donald 'Rip' Skuse.
Situated on 9 acres of beautifully forested land, this house is just a THREE-MINUTE drive or 15-minute walk from the world famous Kenai River at Morgan's Landing State Park headquarters where you can fish from the bank. Located in Sterling on the Kenai Peninsula, Soldotna (shops, dining, laundry, movies, etc) is just a 15-minute drive away. Day trips to Homer or Seward for saltwater fishing, glacier fjord tours, art/crafts/artifacts shopping and amazing seafood dining are just 1.5 hours away. Whitewater rafting, hiking, mountain biking and canoeing are all within 20 to 45 minutes away.
From the Chalet enjoy midnight sun BBQs on the large deck after a hard day's fishing. You can relax here with friends while watching eagles, hawks, and loons soar in the valley below. Early morning coffee on the deck may also offer views of moose as they wander across the property.
Guests really enjoy the large lawn area which has a lovely fire pit and sitting area. Imagine relaxing by the fire, enjoying the setting sun and endless views of the Kenai National Widlife Refuge and distant Chugach National Forest mountain range.
Each unit is well appointed with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and quality bedding/towels, and outdoor BBQ. Guests have access to the storage shed with 2 adult mountain bikes and a variety of children's bikes. There are also a variety of fishing poles, nets and other items which can be utilized. You will have access to freezer space for your fish catch, but there is a strict NO FISH CLEANING policy on the property so as not to attract bears.
This property has been in my family since 1979. Having grown up in Alaska, I understand and appreciate what a unique experience The Great Land can offer and I hope to share that with you. My parents, Greg and Hannah Corse, ran a successful tourism business here for over 15 years, and my husband I took over the property in 2011. The Chalet is our personal vacation home, and we look forward to coming home each summer from our work overseas. Since this is our personal home, you'll find everything you need.
Alaska is a wonderland of natural beauty and amazing resources, which our family has spent generations protecting through conservation efforts. We welcome you to our home where you too can become a 'Sourdough' and share in this unique experience. The home is available year round. Winter travelers will be rewarded with an incredible show of colorful northern lights and millions of stars in the dark Arctic night. Nearby winter activities include cross-country skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and hot beverage drinking! Summer guests will be rewarded with midnight sun, vast and expansive views, solitude, wildlife, and world-class salmon and halibut fishing. COME EXPERIENCE YOUR ALASKAN DREAM VACATION!

About the Owner
Raised in Alaska...this property was our family homestead. We lived a subsistance lifestyle here...which I didn't fully appreciate until I was grown up! Now I live and work overseas, but Alaska, and this property, will always be our home. I work in international conservation, and growing up in Alaska gave me a real appreciation for protecting our planet's most amazing natural places...this area being one of them!

Pierre de Fermat
Credit for changing this perception goes to Pierre de Fermat (1601–65), a French magistrate with time on his hands and a passion for numbers. Although he published little, Fermat posed the questions and identified the issues that have shaped number theory ever since. Here are a few examples:
- In 1640 he stated what is known as Fermat's little theorem—namely, that if p is prime and a is any whole number, then p divides evenly into ap − a. Thus, if p = 7 and a = 12, the far-from-obvious conclusion is that 7 is a divisor of 127 − 12 = 35,831,796. This theorem is one of the great tools of modern number theory.
- Fermat investigated the two types of odd primes: those that are one more than a multiple of 4 and those that are one less. These are designated as the 4k + 1 primes and the 4k − 1 primes, respectively. Among the former are 5 = 4 × 1 + 1 and 97 = 4 × 24 + 1; among the latter are 3 = 4 × 1 − 1 and 79 = 4 × 20 − 1. Fermat asserted that any prime of the form 4k + 1 can be written as the sum of two squares in one and only one way, whereas a prime of the form 4k − 1 cannot be written as the sum of two squares in any manner whatever. Thus, 5 = 22 + 12 and 97 = 92 + 42, and these have no alternative decompositions into sums of squares. On the other hand, 3 and 79 cannot be so decomposed. This dichotomy among primes ranks as one of the landmarks of number theory.
- In 1638 Fermat asserted that every whole number can be expressed as the sum of four or fewer squares. He claimed to have a proof but did not share it.
- Fermat stated that there cannot be a right triangle with sides of integer length whose area is a perfect square. This amounts to saying that there do not exist integers x, y, z, and w such that x2 + y2 = z2 (the Pythagorean relationship) and that w2 = 1/2(base) (height) = xy/2.
Uncharacteristically, Fermat provided a proof of this last result. He used a technique called infinite descent that was ideal for demonstrating impossibility. The logical strategy assumes that there are whole numbers satisfying the condition in question and then generates smaller whole numbers satisfying it as well. Reapplying the argument over and over, Fermat produced an endless sequence of decreasing whole numbers. But this is impossible, for any set of positive integers must contain a smallest member. By this contradiction, Fermat concluded that no such numbers can exist in the first place.
Two other assertions of Fermat should be mentioned. One was that any number of the form 22n + 1 must be prime. He was correct if n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, for the formula yields primes 220 + 1 = 3, 221 + 1 = 5, 222 + 1 = 17, 223 + 1 = 257, and 224 + 1 = 65,537. These are now called Fermat primes. Unfortunately for his reputation, the next such number 225 + 1 = 232 + 1 = 4,294,967,297 is not a prime (more about that later). Even Fermat was not invincible.
The second assertion is one of the most famous statements from the history of mathematics. While reading Diophantus's Arithmetica, Fermat wrote in the book's margin: "To divide a cube into two cubes, a fourth power, or in general any power whatever into two powers of the same denomination above the second is impossible." He added that "I have assuredly found an admirable proof of this, but the margin is too narrow to contain it."
In symbols, he was claiming that if n > 2, there are no whole numbers x, y, z such that xn + yn = zn, a statement that came to be known as Fermat's last theorem. For three and a half centuries, it defeated all who attacked it, earning a reputation as the most famous unsolved problem in mathematics.
Despite Fermat's genius, number theory still was relatively neglected. His reluctance to supply proofs was partly to blame, but perhaps more detrimental was the appearance of the calculus in the last decades of the 17th century. Calculus is the most useful mathematical tool of all, and scholars eagerly applied its ideas to a range of real-world problems. By contrast, number theory seemed too "pure," too divorced from the concerns of physicists, astronomers, and engineers.

My name is Steve; Jon and his wife Kimberly and I bought this property in 2005 for our get-a-way home as we decompress from our busy lives. We primarily live in Florida and spend as much time as we can up here as the summer heat continues to rise. We enjoy the cool weather as we venture out into the surrounding mountains and dive into the crystal clear lake off the dock at our very cozy lakefront home. We also enjoy coming here in the winter time to ski the local ski resorts as well. Whether winter or summer time, I'm sure you will enjoy these aspects as well and you will see there is so much to do in the area. Come be our guest, you will not be disappointed.
The Owner purchased this house in 2005
We originally bought this property to escape the summer heat of Florida and relax in the solitude that this home provides. We love the quaint village of Meredith that offers very nice upscale shops, dining and seasonal activities. We are not using the house as much as we would like so we thought others may want to have the opportunity to enjoy the house and surrounding area as much as we do.
You will enjoy the open spaces the house provides with a large fully furnished deck to relax on as the sunsets. Fire up the grill and have a great dinner with a fabulous view overlooking the lake and surrounding mountains. The house has been stylishly appointed throughout which will give you the homey atmosphere you desire. With the village of Meredith just 10 minutes away, you can explore the shops, go antiquing or just walk around taking it all in. The clubhouse is perfect for family gatherings and picnics just 4 houses down from you. The kids can play sand volleyball or swim out to the floating dock platform and soak up the sun. With 350 feet of sandy beach, the kids can enjoy a cool dip anytime they want. There is also a foosball and shuffleboard table in the clubhouse for additional entertainment. These are nice amenities not available at very many, if any rental properties in this area.
We know you will enjoy the house and the area as much as we do. You'll want to come back again and again after you discover everything this property has to offer.
Don't forget winter time! We are very close to several ski areas too!

KICKING OUT RACISM; Boothy joins pupils as part of football-led week of action.
TERRIERS legend Andy Booth joined schoolchildren as part of a week of action to kick racism out of football.
The Huddersfield Town ambassador visited Fartown High School last week to record video messages speaking out against racial discrimination.
The messages were shown on the big screen ahead of Town's 4-0 win against Leyton Orient on Saturday.
Around 300 students from Fartown, Moor End High School, Mount Pleasant School and Spen Valley Sports College went down to watch the game.
Eight pupils from Fartown lead the two teams out at 3pm with a "One Game, One Community" flag.
"One Game, One Community" is a week of action taking place at football clubs across the country to stamp out racism.
Grassroots clubs, schools, community groups and fans join the professional game in coming together in symbolic activities promoting inclusion.
The project ties in with Black History Month.
Huddersfield Town Chairman Dean Hoyle said: "It goes without saying that the club always offers its unconditional support for the fight to drive racism out of football.
"Huddersfield Town is a community club and we are very keen to get everyone involved with their local team by engaging new fans from all backgrounds.
"We do this through fantastic work that our Football in the Community team carries out from their base at The Zone on St Andrews Road and out in local schools, as well as by many other initiatives like school promotions."
All of the players from both Town and Leyton Orient donned "One Game, One Community" football shirts during their pre-match warm-up.
Other activities were going on at the Galpharm with face-painting and balloon modelling and the latest Terrier 7s presentations.
Manager Lee Clark said: "I know I speak for the entire club when I say that we fully support this drive to rid football of racism.
"There is absolutely no place in life for prejudice of this sort and I believe that "Kick it Out" has done a fantastic job at helping to eradicate this unwelcome problem."

The niece of Maoist leader Koteswar Rao alias Kishenji, who is believed to have been killed in an encounter on Thursday, wants to come to West Bengal and identify the body.
"I want to see the body of my uncle. Since the police have not identified the body yet, I plead with the government to please take me there to see him," Deepa, the daughter of Kishenji's brother, told The Hindu over telephone from Hyderabad.
Revolutionary writer and a personal friend of Kishenji, Varavara Rao, demanded that the guidelines laid down by the National Human Rights Commission that dictate that the body be preserved until a post-mortem is carried out and it is properly identified be observed.
