Day 3 Part 2 it was a long day full of fun
Sunday July 28, 2013
A Journey Through time
This next section will take us to a place I wanted to go since the 80s. I got close a few times but didnt make it until now.
In the 80s the news was filled with reports of a cult/commune in Eastern Oregon developed by a man called Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh who was from India. The Big Muddy Ranch (where the John Wayne movie
Big Muddy
was filmed) and some surrounding areas covering over 100 square miles had been purchased by Rajneesh and turned in to Rajneeshpuram. They were trying to take over the area or at least a big part of the area.
Rajneeshs followers wore robes in the "color of the sunrise" (orange/red) and
special necklaces called malas (prayer beads).
The following 4 photos are from the internet.
Greeted by followers during his daily drive by in 1982.
By the time left he had acquired 93 Rolls-Royces. He wanted 365, one for each day of the year. Reports were that he wasnt a very skilled driver and need to be pulled out of the ditch occasionally.
1983 tent city
They had everything in Rasjneeshpurham including a paved airstrip.
Air Rajneesh Big Muddy Ranch Airport 1985 (Ted Quackenbush photo)
has been described as charismatic the same way
was described after his followers in the Manson family killed people for no reason in the 60s and
who either lured or forced 900+ people to drink cyanide in Jonestown in the 70s. References to drinking the Kool-Aid are made on ADV frequently and I wonder how many people really know where the saying came from.
All three men had followers willing to die and/or kill for them. I suppose to be able to get others to do things like that a person would need to be very charismatic.
I dont see the charisma in the photos or films of any of these men but its obvious they drew people in for whatever reason.
Rajneesh didnt manage to kill people like the other two however he or his followers did try. They were able to introduce salmonella into some of the salad bars in The Dalles, OR as a
Watching the news accounts of these things taking place in the 60s, 70s, & 80s was much too graphic for my tasted but had and still has me curious how these things happen. Why do people want to follow these men I would classify as crazy? I wanted to see where Rajneeshpuram was located because from news reports they were out in the barren countryside, in the middle of no where, and miles from other people. It seemed that for the most part these people were cut off from civilization however they had all the modern conveniences.
A couple of years ago I tried to make my way to where Rajneeshpuram was once located however I tried to go in from the west. The route I had laid out had me riding from Madras through Hay Creek Ranch, on to Ashwood, Cold Creek Camp Rd., Big Muddy Rd and on to Rajneeshpuram.
The route start off as a terrific route but when I found this muddy patch I decided since I was alone, riding my 650 and wasnt even on the road called Big Muddy Rd. yet I thought maybe I shouldnt try it. It doesnt take much to get me to wimp out.
I dont know how large Hay Creek Ranch is but I suspect it pretty danged large. Thats part of the Ranch property behind my bike and I had passed the main entrance and building miles back. This is where I turned around to head back. I'd like to go back and ride this road and explore the area more. It's beautiful out there.
OK, I got a little sidetracked so its now back to the ride. We didnt take the Hay Creek Ranch route since MTLee had never been to Shaniko and it had been years since Rainbow007 had been there so we had to make a visit.
From Shaniko were now headed south toward Antelope, OR, the small town that was the hub of all the controversy Rajneesh and his follower had brought to this normally quiet area.
Not a bad road to ride and no traffic.
The school in Antelope, OR
I believe Rajneesh once owned this café.
Not all buildings are this nice
Most have seen better days
The trailer is Antelopes post office.
Antelope post office was established in 1871, with
Howard Maupin
, founder of
Maupin, Oregon
, as the first postmaster.
In the mid-19th century, Antelope was along the wagon road connecting
The Dalles
on the
Columbia River
with gold mines near
Canyon City
. After about 1870, the wagon road became known as
The Dalles Military Road
The road crossed the Deschutes River on Sherar's Bridge.
On September 18, 1984, Antelope's charter was amended by a vote of 57 to 22 to change the name of the city to
but it wasnt long until the people of Antelope were able to change the name back.
Cool old locks on the mailbox
With that we were headed out again and I will be back to tell you about the ride to what was once

There's a catch, but it's not what you think: This phone can be yours without any kind of contract.
Last year's flagship phone is this year's steal, provided you're willing to live with a couple of compromises.
TextNow does not have a bring-your-own device option but the company said it plans to offer one in the future.
The plan offers 500MB of data, 750 rollover minutes, and unlimited texting and incoming calls.
The refurbished 1st-gen phone pairs with TextNow's newly updated monthly plans, which start at $18.99 for unlimited everything. You can also get a 1st-gen Moto X for $149.99.
It's getting cheaper and easier to own a smartphone, but is there a downside to breaking away from the Big Four?
The service is making some interesting moves in the BYOD arena, and without some of the compromises imposed by other low-cost carriers.
Bring on the surf and sand! Samsung's ruggedized version of the beloved S4 is a colossal bargain, and you can take it to any GSM carrier.

The difference between good game and good product is something we've been focusing on at Evil Hat over the past couple years. This is a tricky space, and some folks make the (faulty) assumption that they're one and the same. A game can be excellent in its design but still fall down as a product, a thing to be sold, bought, and consumed.
Putting a finger on what fills the gap between game and product is tricky stuff, so I asked the folks of the Head (those who help me run the Hat) to quantify it as much as they could. That's what follows, below. The lion's share of this comes from Chris Hanrahan, no shock.
The product should solve a problem for the market without creating new ones.
The product should be at a good (competitive vs. its peers) price while still paying people decent wages to produce them.
The product should have good shelf appeal (clear identity, attention-grabbing, aesthetically pleasing) from all sides and all angles (top-down, edge-on, full-front, backside, etc) as much as possible.
The product should explain itself, and it should help you explain it to others. (Imagine the product as a person, meeting the reader for the first time, and it's love at first sight. How would our product-person explain itself to that reader?)
Good UI throughout the experience (presentation/layout/reading-experience of rules set, board, cards, etc)
Attractive hand-feel (size, weight, finish) where appropriate.
There may well be more to it, but that's the list we're "starting" with. What's on your list?

Uraling The Great Divide (now with more dogs!)

Day 9
Morning came to me with the sound of Wayne and Zina stirring about camp. My decision to finally get up was only made when I heard the soft whisper of their JetBoil stove light up. Coffee, Coffee, Coffee. I winced slightly as I un-entombed myself from the sleeping bag. One day of (easy) dirt on the sidecar and things already hurt.
The lower elevation of our camp, and its proximity to a wetlands refuge area left everything with a good layer of dew over it. The trees blocked any good line of sun, so most of our gear was getting packed wet. I leave the ends of my dry bag unclipped to help dry some of the kit when riding.
One additional benefit to traveling by Ural, is a built in bear locker. No more climbing up precarious trees to hang your food and waste! Just throw everything in the trunk, and park the rig a safe distance from your tent. Those Russians think of everything.
Just as we were readying up to start the bikes, a bicyclist rode up and gave us an enthusiastic greeting. Pascal hails from Switzerland and had recently started out on the GDR route too. He's ridden through many lands (including the Sahara desert) in a very laid-back, no-frills frame of mind.
He spoke of his job(s) as a software programmer, that he only works at for 6-12 months before leaving to pursue another adventure. I was struck by the nomadic nature of his work, compared with the `long-term-relationship' culture that somehow became popular here in America. Life is short and uncertain. Why wait for retirement (presuming you make it there) to enjoy life?
After wishing Pascal good luck on his trip, we didn't get to far before dismounting again. Crews were busy replacing this culvert that washed away with the spring melt.
When we walked up to the edge, they didn't even look up from their work. It would appear all the dedicated road crews work in the woods. Most of the crews I usually see on the side of I-25 are standing in a circle smoking cigarettes while one guy rakes gravel aimlessly.
With the best penmanship of the three of us, Zina wrote up a sign for Pascal to prevent four miles of rocky uphill biking. Hopefully he got it and is still grinning out there on the trail.
Unfortunately there was no dirt bypass around the closed road, so we figured out that we had to scoot down 83 for a stretch. Other than some beautiful forested area, the road is pretty flat and uninspiring, even if the scenery is anything but.
We gassed up our trusty steeds, and filled our luggage with rations and supplies for the day. An early lunch of sandwiches and coffee at the fine outside seating made for a good stop. Traveling with dogs drastically changes your evaluation process for eateries along a trip. Since most places can't (or won't) allow dogs inside, outdoor seating is paramount. Huge points if said area is shaded too.
Shortly past Condon, we got back on a beautiful dirt road, riding past the Cottonwood Lakes. The water here has such an amazing color to it.
Four or five miles later, the road turned to freshly graded. While loose dirt isn't always fun on motorcycles, its a LOT of fun on a Ural. Gassing the throttle around a right-handed corner results in a little drift, while chopping the throttle on a tight left-hand corner lets you drift into it.
After miles and miles of endless forest bordering the road, any clearing is worth a stop and a look around.
Monture road out of the Lolo national forest is a nice, county-maintained gravel road which takes you right into Ovando. This wide-open view is what I am accustomed to after my time living in SW Montana. Traveling at
"Ural Speed"
really allows you to swivel your noggin' around and take everything in.
With a 2-to-1 ratio of Dogs to Humans, Ovando is our kind of town. Its small, smaller even than what self-appointed
"small town people"
might consider small. As is typical with most small Montana towns, the people are the nicest you'll ever meet.
Howie and Peggy run the
Ovando Inn
with their family. Off-leash dogs wandering around the town is as welcome a sign to us, as was the ice-cream Howie had on tap in his store. A ritual Wayne & Zina do on long trips (which I happily embraced), ice-cream every day is something I really started looking forward to.
Notice how evasive Wayne has to be with that ice cream so close to Simon's ice-cream-hole? Duck and move, duck and move. While it may seem that we are torturing our dogs on these motorcycles, I assure you they get some nice perks throughout the day.
Howie came out and chatted with us a bit about the town. He mentioned that they specifically cater to people on the great divide ride/hike. If a room at the Inn is too high-society for you, a tee-pee, or the jail-house are $2 options.
He also gave me the pin above.
"Normally I charge folks for these, but if someone comes in carryin', its free"
he told me with a grin through his long mustache. I proudly pinned it on my jacket and thanked him. The west is pretty gun-friendly place.
The county-maintained road out of Ovando is well cared for. It rolls along a bunch of foothills and ranch land on the way into Helena national forest.
Some old abandoned dreams and homesteads dotted the view on the way. I can't help but think how hardy the people that lived here must have been, and how luxurious it is of us to be riding through the same land on our motorcycles.
The trail winds up and through Huckleberry Pass, with a couple of rocky sections that bounced us around quite a bit. Softball sized rocks are really no problem on the Ural, but will still rock you around violently. Lola has the worst of it all, as she's standing on all four legs balancing most of the time. When it gets rough, we rest more often to conserve pilot and co-pilot alike.
Lola was happy to lie down for a bit, still in good spirits about the trip. Her willingness to depart the sidecar when I turn the motor off is a good gauge on her energy level. Near the end of the day, sometimes she won't even stand up until I pull the bag with the tent off the Ural.
Over the top of huckleberry pass, we rode down Beaver Creek on our way to Lincoln, MT. Heavy equipment, dump-trucks and logging operations made the road a mess. The Ural clanged and banged through the hard ruts created by metal-tracked vehicles. Occasional logs or firewood chunks strewn in the middle of the road made for much slower progress.
Stretch and pee breaks are important for humans and dogs. A forest service truck stopped and asked us if we had seen a pair of Oakley's on the road. I cringed thinking back. Was there a black shiny blur that I possibly ran over?
"No, I don't think I've seen them"
. It was probably just a piece of black tarp, I quietly hoped.
After gassing up in Lincoln, MT, we headed out on Stempleton Pass road. Compared to Huckleberry Pass, this was a superhighway. Despite a rather steep grade, the Ural hummed along at 40-45mph without much need for anything other than 3rd gear.
Still down around 5600 feet, it was pretty hot. I would periodically spray water on Lola's head if her panting-while-moving speed seemed rapid. She hates being wet for any reason, but will choose it (begrudgingly) over leaping from a moving vehicle to escape. Smart dog.
Down Marsh Creek into Empire creek, the nice superhighway was abandoned for a washed, narrow road. The size of the rocks seemed to grow proportionally with the distance traveled.
Here lies the remains of the Empire Mill, before and after. It was a
stamp mill
, which uses "sets" of stamps. The Empire was a pretty large mill, with 60 stamps.
The road takes a right turn after the Empire mill, directly onto a rocky goat-path. The Ural has just over 4 inches of suspension travel, which means you feel every big, rough rock you roll over. I only got this one crappy photo, as I could only hold onto a paint shaker for so long before appendages refuse to function.
No pictures over Bald Butte either. A grader had recently churned up all the large buried rocks, which echoed off the fenders, frame, and skid plate with loud metallic clangs.
Going up and over priest pass the road finally turned to a favorable Ural medium. A 2-3# layer of sand covered most of the road, and provided many smiles and slides while cruising up the switchbacks. While descending the pass I saw the tracks from Wayne & Zina pushing all over the road.
Lola and I would have felt bad for the other half of our crew on this section, if we weren't still recovering from the savage beating on roads before it.
By the time I finally caught up with Zina and Wayne at Rt 12, they had already figured out where we would camp. 7 miles down the road at a place called Moose Creek. Their plan was music to my ears, and I think Lola let out an audible sigh when she heard Wayne speak the word
Situated in a narrow valley, the campground was in great shape, and would get some good sun in the morning. It had a handful of "long-timers" stationed there in various camping equipment. Zina and Wayne spoke of an apparent long-timer stationed near the entrance that brought the
"won't you be my neighbor"
vibe on a little too strong with them.
Even Simon was exhausted from his day in the backpack. When I imagine what its like for him in there, I think of a inflatable bouncy house (the kind used at kids parties) strapped onto a flatbed driving down a washboard road. He's very devoted to Zina and Wayne, complaining loudly whenever he feels they are too far apart from one another.
Tonight was our first communal meal, dubbed "Taco Soup". The recipe came from a friend (Celia) who first served it to Kait and I one evening. I changed the recipe a bit to accommodate camping with cans and limited supplies. Its comprised mostly of beans, chili with more beans, corn and around 4,000% percent of your daily sodium intake.
Over rice or chips its absolutely delicious, as long as you are comfortable with the side-effects. Long, frequent flatulence is guaranteed, or your money back. Depending on your digestive system health, a 4:00 AM red alert may also be experienced. This product is not recommended for travelers with irritable bowel syndrome and/or a long walk to the outhouse.
Zina volunteered to do the dishes in the creek near our campsite, while Wayne and I packed up stoves and debated the merits of old country music. We built a small fire in the campfire ring to ward off the mosquitos. Wayne is a great talker, and we've started a tradition of dissecting social behaviors together after dinner in the evening.
Lola was already fast asleep in the tent by the time Wayne and I stopped gabbing and turned in. Lots of good dirt miles in today, over a grab-bag of terrain. Ural is running great, and life is very, very good.
Days Mileage: 188 miles

FGD: Nashville North

For the first time this season, the red hot Nashville Predators come to town, as they try to continue their push up the Western Conference standings tonight against the similarly hot Calgary Flames (Sportsnet West and Sportsnet Radio FAN 960). The Flames find themselves just five points back of the Western Conference's final playoff spot, and coming off back to back wins over division leading teams.

Tonight's opponent for the Flames are a club that might be fortunate to be in the league at all given the iffy financial picture that's surrounded them for much of their tenure in the league, but they're again thriving on-ice despite all the handicaps they face.

...that was a pretty darn impressive victory for the Calgary Flames. With a crucial game staring them in the face, I really felt the Flames needed to rise to the occasion, however I knew with the opponent they were playing, it still might not have been good enough. Well, on this night, the Flames rose to the moment, and with a little bit of debate (albeit the right call was made), the Flames are 4-3 shootout winners over the Vancouver Canucks.

This hotel is located in the center of town. It is very clean and the rooms are very large with a full kitchen, pull out sofa and large bathroom with jacuzzi tub. The hotel is new and very modern! The bed is a king size and very comfortable! The staff are very friendly and kind. The managers are also very inviting and professional!
This part of panama is quit challenging getting to by car. I put my car on the ferry which leaves at 8am once a day to isla colon and one time back to the main land at 4pm.
Bocas Del Toro, Isla Colon is a very interesting town filled with little shops and restaurants that are all built on stilts over the water. Water taxis take you to the other near by islands. The front desk at the hotel can call you a water taxi and they pick you up right from the back of the hotel which is great!
The beaches are really beautiful with gold sand and crystal clear water. Saw lots of star fish all around the island!
I would deffenetly recommend this hotel to anyone going to this area!

hepatitis A vaccine(What is a PDF document?) is the most effective means of preventing
hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. The vaccine
provides 94% to 100% protection if you receive both of the shots in the
vaccination series.6
Immunization with the hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for:
combination vaccine (Twinrix) that prevents hepatitis
A and
hepatitis B is available for people 18 and
Adults who are planning a trip to foreign countries where hepatitis A is
common may want to be tested for HAV antibodies
(anti-HAV test) before beginning a hepatitis A
vaccination program. If you already have HAV antibodies in your blood, you are
protected against infection, and you do not need to be vaccinated.
Consider the following before going through with anti-HAV testing before
If you find out that you need the vaccine but you will be
traveling in less than 4 weeks, you should receive the first shot in the
vaccination series. One shot provides 90% protection from the disease and may
reduce the severity of disease. If you want to be extremely careful, you can
receive the first shot in the vaccination series and a shot of
immunoglobulin (IG). This will ensure that you are
protected against HAV. You can receive the second shot of hepatitis A vaccine 6
to 18 months (depending on the recommendations of the vaccine's manufacturer)
after the first shot.
Other things to think about regarding the HAV
Child care workers should receive frequent instruction on
preventing the spread of hepatitis A. Even though children infected with HAV
may have few or no symptoms, they can spread the infection to others, including
child care workers and other adults who may develop more serious symptoms. To
prevent the spread of HAV, child care workers should:

When it comes to health, I've been very fortunate: most of my problems have been limited to colds, occasional stomach bugs and stubbed toes. I say fortunate, because the few times I've ever run to the medicine cabinet, I've experienced nasty side effects.
Aspirin hurts my stomach. Painkillers dehydrate me. Penicillin causes my shoulders and neck to break out in a rash.
So I rarely take drugs. I even avoid vitamins. Still, it's good to know that modern science provides a slew of options should I need them. Insulin for diabetes and antibiotics really work.
Because of this, most of us believe that antidepressants and anti-cholesterol drugs work as well. Perhaps we are mistaken.
It turns out that pharmaceutical companies never bothered to publish the full story about antidepressants, reports The New York Times:

- kind of dark brownish red, and quite saturated for a tint, and no shimmer wich I love, - lovely smooth texture (softer than Kiss my Face tints) , ok taste but tastewise I prefer Kiss My Face 's wich tastes peppermint - so refreshing.
could be better but good.

The texture of this lip tint is nice, doesn't make my lips flake or hurt, however I really wish they would put just a little essential oil in there to make it smell nice. It is rather unpleasant, very waxy crayon like smell which is especially not nice when your significant other wants to kiss ya! The color is a little more brown in tone than I wanted, but if I put it on and then rub it in with my finger it's a little less dark, or I just put on less over lip chap.
Great color.

Beautiful brownish red shade without glitter in it which is great! It goes on smooth and it doesn't dry out my lips. The colour lasts for quite a while and it doesn't have any scent or flavour. Will definitely buy again!
Love these liptints

One of the Finest Pieces Known
"Indian Head eagles dated 1916 and earlier are all found today in almost the exact proportion to their original mintage. These coins were widely distributed to banks at the time they were struck and saw active use in the channels of commerce. By comparison, the availability of coins dated after 1916 is not always proportional to their mintage."
Using that passage as the theme sentence for the 1920-S ten, this issue is much easier to understand in terms of availability (or lack thereof) and price. The mintage was 126,500 pieces. Neither high nor low for the series. The lowest mintages were recorded for the 1911-D with only 30,100 pieces produced and the 1908-S with only 59,850 pieces coined. But both of these were struck prior to the 1916 cutoff mentioned in the above passage, and they are scarce but occasionally obtainable (the 1908-S more so). The rarest issue in the series is the 1933. The mintage for that year was an unimpressive 312,500 pieces. Second rarest is the 1920-S, followed closely by the 1930-S. With substantial mintages for each of these three later issues, the only answer to their rarity is melting. While we know large-scale meltings occurred in the mid-1930s after President Roosevelt's Gold Recall Act of 1933, no records were kept of the dates and mintmarks melted. Indeed, why would such records be kept?
The best estimate of the number of 1920-S tens that remain today is around 100 pieces. A substantial number (probably more than half) of the known coins are circulated, which indicates that the cutoff was not quite as neat as the 1916 date given above. Instead, the rarity of the 1920-S is based on two factors. First, the vast majority of the number minted was melted. Second, of those that were designated for distribution to banks in 1920-1921, most were indeed circulated. A few pieces that were not actually spent in the channels of commerce were set aside. But it appears that only accounts for 40-50 pieces.
The 1920-S is also a major condition rarity. A couple of dozen pieces are known in the lower grades of Uncirculated, and then the availability begins to rapidly thin out. Only nine pieces have been certified by both of the major services in MS64 (probably minus a couple of resubmissions). In Gem grade, only five have been graded, two in MS66, and the finest known is MS67 (the Duckor coin).
The surfaces of this piece show thick mint frost, the finish that is almost universally seen on the 1920-S, although Akers says several are known with satiny luster. The color is rich reddish-gold with little variation in hue. Sharply defined overall, only slight softness is seen at the top of the eagle's wing and on TY in LIBERTY. This latter weakness is almost diagnostic, but the Thaine Price coin showed no softness on the banner. Lightly abraded, the only noticeable surface flaw is a shallow vertical luster scrape above the eagle's left (facing) wing. A rare opportunity to acquire this key to the ten dollar Indian series.(Registry values: N10218) (NGC ID# 28H8, PCGS# 8881)

- Nexxlink acquires certain CGI assets generating annual revenues of $40 M - Capital Investment by CGI in Nexxlink - Nexxlink and CGI sign a long-term business alliance MONTREAL, Oct. 21 /CNW Telbec/ - Nexxlink Technologies Inc. (TSX: NTI), a leading Canadian provider of integrated information technology ("IT") solutions, and CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A, NYSE: GIB), a world leader in IT and business process services, announce the conclusion of an important three-tiered strategic alliance involving the acquisition by Nexxlink of certain CGI assets, the securing of a major interest by CGI in Nexxlink's capital stock, and a long-term business alliance between the two companies. Acquisition of assets Nexxlink is purchasing various CGI assets generating approximately $40 million in annual revenues. These assets, obtained by CGI as part of the acquisition of Cognicase, consist mainly of integrated management system software package suites (Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP) and related services targeted to municipalities, healthcare bodies as well manufacturing and distribution companies. These integrated solutions play a key role in the management of many client organizations, including 70% of the municipalities in Quebec, several hospital centres in the province, and numerous well-known Canadian companies. Besides the intellectual property of an extensive portfolio of specialized solutions, the acquisition includes a substantial customer base and the transfer of some 375 employees. "This acquisition enables us to expand our client base, strengthen our range of services, and above all to become the leading Canadian provider of integrated IT solutions in our market," said Karol Brassard, Nexxlink's Executive Chairman of the Board. Robert Courteau, President and Chief Executive Officer at Nexxlink, added: "We are proud to welcome these business units' highly qualified employees. Their expertise will contribute to Nexxlink's success for many years to come." The transaction amounts to $21 million, broken down as follows: $10.5 million cash, including a $4.5 million balance of sale with CGI, and $10.5 million by the issuance of a note convertible into 2.5 million shares at a price of $4.20 per share. The note shall be automatically converted upon the approval by Nexxlink's shareholders who will vote on the matter at the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on December 11, 2003. This transaction will give CGI a 32% equity interest in Nexxlink's capital stock. "We are delighted to conclude this agreement with Nexxlink," confirmed Serge Godin, CGI's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Since the product suite forming the subject of this transaction fits better with Nexxlink's strategy than with CGI's, Nexxlink is thus well positioned to serve these clients and take full advantage of these assets." CGI to become Nexxlink's largest shareholder Subsequent to this transaction, CGI will hold 2.5 million shares of Nexxlink (in escrow for 24 months), representing 32% of the Company's capital stock, which consists of 7.9 million issued and outstanding shares. CGI will thereby become the Company's largest shareholder. "Our situation as a future shareholder of Nexxlink leaves absolutely no doubt as to our confidence about our partner's growth and profit potential," indicated Mr. Godin. Karol Brassard added: "We are pleased to welcome Jean Brassard, CGI's Vice-Chairman of the Board, and Jacques Roy, Senior Vice-President, Finance and Treasury of CGI as directors. The Company and its shareholders will greatly benefit from the expertise and wise counsel of these two highly experienced businessmen." Long-term business alliance Concurrently with this transaction, Nexxlink and CGI have signed a seven-year business alliance. Nexxlink and CGI will thus maintain privileged business relations for the provision of their respective services and products in Canada. Mr. Courteau commented: "We are highly confident that this alliance will enable us to accelerate our growth and better serve our respective clients, no matter what their size." Bank financing The National Bank of Canada, in syndication with the Caisse Centrale Desjardins, have concluded a bank financing arrangement of up to $15.0 million with Nexxlink in order to enable the Company to close this transaction and finance its operations. This financing, in the form of a revolving operating credit, is for a two-year term and renewable. "This bank financing arrangement minimizes the dilution of our shareholders' investment associated with this transaction and will allow us to finance the Company's internal growth," added Karol Brassard. New momentum for Nexxlink This alliance represents a major shift in Nexxlink's development. Under the terms of this transaction, the Company will generate annualized revenues of approximately $100 million and have some 700 employees. "Considering the profitability of the acquired assets and the expected cross-selling, we are confident these new operations will raise our profitability per share in the short term. The immediate expansion of our client base and our business alliance with a North American IT leader will definitely give the Company new momentum," concluded Karol Brassard. About CGI Founded in 1976, CGI is the fourth largest independent information technology services company in North America, based on its headcount. CGI and its affiliated companies employ 20,000 professionals. CGI's annualized revenue run-rate is CDN$2.9 billion (US$2.1 billion) and, at July 29, 2003, its order backlog was CDN$12.5 billion (US$9.1 billion).

By Air, Grand Canyon
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
In Portuguese we have a phrase "De volta da festa" which, literally translated is "back from the party", that we use in all the occasions where, after a strong enthusiasm doing something, the goal is achieved, and, afterwards, we have to clean, or dismount, or pay, or...anything annoying, where everybody finds, immediately, how tired we are! I don't know if, in English, you have something alike.
If not, the explanation above seems good enough to understand the title.
Well, the "Grand Canyon Party" was over, and, in our way back to Las Vegas, our Portuguese phrase applied perfectly to all the group. Down there, the rain in the eve changed colors, the Colorado River looked different, and... Shut up, man! We are "de volta da festa".
From above, everything seems small, flat, near and easy to access.
Down there, everything is far away, rocky, dusty, and hard to cross.
Maybe the helicopter would be the perfect solution to shorten the distances, allowing you to land here and there, in all those several points were the views make you regret for not being down there.
It's impossible to feel the imposing size of the Grand Canyon, and the strength of nature carving it, without a flight over the place.
You may take a short flight from Las Vegas but I preferred a different solution: since the prices in Las Vegas hotels raise a lot in weekends, I took an overnight flight on Friday, and with two nights sleeping in the Grand Canyon I had the chance to see it under storm and sunny weather, and furthermore, to fly over Lake Powel and rainbow Bridge, and a land tour in Monument Valley. The trip was expensive (about $500, including lunch and two nights sleep), but with the savings in Vegas hotel it really justified the price.
Having never been in a helicopter before I was apprehensive about this, especially when on our first afternoon when we had the flight prebooked it was cancelled due to a thunder/lightning storm.
However I still went ahead the next day, and am so pleased I did, WHAT a view, only by being above the Canyon do you partially grasp its size.
Something you could never do from the rim hikes.
The airport is only a few minutes out of the town of TUSAYAN where we stayed. This town is located to the south of the National park.
On arrival at the book in you are weighed, for purposes of deciding best location in aircraft, and then walked out to the helicopter.
The flight lasted about 45 minutes at $150 and you fly in a big loop, crossing the canyon to the east of the GC village and returning to the south rim to the west of the village.
The flight gives you a great view of the canyon and colorado river, and also how flat the plains are to the south.

How to Recover a Moved Drive
Updated: November 1, 2012
Applies To: Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring 1.0
When you move an operating system drive that has been previously encrypted by using Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM), you must resolve certain issues. After a PIN is attached to the new computer, the drive will not accept the start-up PIN that was used in previous computer. The system considers the PIN to be invalid because of the change to the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip. You must obtain a recovery key ID to retrieve the recovery password in order to use the moved drive. To do this, use the following procedure.
To recover a moved drive
On the computer that contains the moved drive, start in Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) mode, or start the computer by using the Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT).
Once the computer has been started with WinRE or DaRT, MBAM will treat the moved operating system drive as a data drive. MBAM will then display the drive's recovery password ID and ask for the recovery password.
Note In some cases, you might be able to click I forget the PIN during the startup process to enter the recovery mode. This also displays the recovery key ID.
On the MBAM administration website, use the recovery key ID to retrieve the recovery password and unlock the drive.
If the moved drive was configured to use a TPM chip on the original computer, you must take additional steps after you unlock the drive and complete the start process. In WinRE mode, open a command prompt and use the manage-bde tool to decrypt the drive. The use of this tool is the only way to remove the TPM-plus-PIN protection without the original TPM chip.
After the removal is complete, start the system normally. The MBAM agent will proceed to enforce the policy to encrypt the drive with the new computer's TPM plus PIN.

Future Marine Queensland run boat shows could be destined to be held on the water if the results of the inaugural Sunshine Coast Marine Festival are anything to go by.
The crowds were happy and enthusiastic and the weather was sublime!
They came from as far as Sydney to the Mooloolaba Marina last weekend to enjoy everything from fishing demonstrations to finding out the very latest in outboards keeping all 47 exhibitors busy fielding questions and handing out advice.
Marine Queensland's Event Manager Jason Plant said whether it was kayaks or yachts on the water or off – there was a boat for every lifestyle and budget at the Festival.
'This is an enormous success for both the marine industry and us as a marine body,' Mr Plant said.
'The decision to create a special Sunshine Coast Marine Festival was part of Marine Queensland's continued strategy to increase promotion of local marine industry and is a direct response to outcomes from our Marine Industry Summit earlier in the year.
'We started planning this event three months ago in response to requests from Marine Queensland's members to have an opportunity to showcase their product before the year's end.
'The success is a tribute to the tremendous support and involvement from local dealers and manufacturers who threw themselves behind this event to get it up and running. We are confident that this event has definite place on our annual events calendar for years to come.
Festival highlights included the new release 2012 Four Winns and the newly released, award winning 150Hp Mercury, on water
displays from Nautitech, Seawind Catamarans and Fountaine Pajot and the recently launched Boat Fish Nav application.
Adding to the community spirit of the event, Yachting Queensland coordinated a Sailing Expo which ran along the Marina's waterfront.
Yachting Queensland's John Belsham said the sailing expo allowed for representation from all the local sailing clubs with the added bonus of visitors getting the chance to actually sample a short sailing trip across the Mooloolah River.
'Not only did we have boat displays on the water but this was a fantastic chance for us to introduce sailing to those who have never considered it before,' Mr Belsham said.
'We find that once people are on the boats and out on the water they wonder why it's taken them so long to discover sailing.'
Mooloolaba Yacht Brokers' Ross Smith said the event delivered above and beyond expectation.
'We were sceptical at first as to the value of the festival to our business since we specialise in higher end boats, cruisers and yachts,' Mr Smith said.
'From past experience boat shows on the coast have centred on the trailer boat market but we are the first to admit we are very pleasantly surprised with the weekend's results. We had people on the boats from as far as North Queensland and Sydney who had heard about the festival and had made the trip to Mooloolaba for the event. We are looking forward to following up now on the weekend's leads.'
Managing director of JD's Boat Shed, Mark Taylor credited the festival's success to location.
'This was as good an event as any we have attended this year but it was the location of this event that made it special, separating it from the pack,' Mr Taylor said.
'Being set on the water with plenty of activity happening along the river helps people appreciate the lifestyle they are buying into when they get a boat. We had plenty of serious enquiries across the weekend and have a busy few weeks ahead of us now.'
Marine Queensland is now busy planning for the 2012 Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show, on March 23-25 at Brisbane's RNA Showgrounds. For more information visit www.tinnieandtackle.com.au.

Gear Review
Equal parts ski and style!
The Eider Alagna is the perfect everyday, cool, around town piece that just so happens to be a technical ski jacket! I love how the jacket's outer Defender Weave material looks more like street wear, but is actually completely waterproof and breathable. On the outside it has a great shape- with interesting detailing & seaming front and back.
On the inside- no area has been left untouched- and it has amazing attention to detail. Eider uses a "Thermal Control System" which puts Thermoceram down the back and around the lower torso. That material reflects heat from the body back into the jacket- in the areas where you tend to lose heat the most. Then in the arms and other high heat/moisture areas there is a lighter insulation so you don't get to hot. The result is an incredibly comfortable jacket that's warm without feeling stuffy once you're moving. The removable hood and powder skirt add to the versatility of the jacket-and the skirt has attachments to hook into your pants (with the benefit of STRETCH at attachment point so you can still move)
My favorite feature of this jacket however is the super soft fleece in the shoulders, collar and hood. It makes so much sense to add those soft fleece touches right where you need them- especially if you're out and about in town and don't have a hat!

The earliest copper planchets produced at the Philadelphia Mint had edge devices that were imparted through use of a machine known as the Castaing Machine. Blank planchets were passed through two steel bars, one stationary, and the edge lettering or other design was sunk into the physical edge of the planchet. Mistakes occasionally happened, such as this piece with doubled edge letters. The doubled edge letters are boldly visible around the entire circumference of this piece and read ONEONE HUNHRNDRED FOR A A DODOARAR, according to the Superior catalog that includes a photo showing part of the doubled edge lettering.

Parks and Recreation: winding down?
Lowe and Jones are out the door. Pratt is probably close behind.
April is turning into the new Ann. That she becomes less snarky and more mature makes sense but it means that the character's narrative arc has probably ended.
Ron is clearly the breakout character (in fact, on Hulu at least, Offerman, not Pohler, the person featured in the intros), but the writers seem to have started having trouble writing a consistent voice for a characters whose politics they most likely don't share. There's also the "gimmick" of giving him a wife and then never showing her (though Ron not telling anyone she'd given birth was a pretty good moment).
But most importantly, they're writing (written?) themselves into a narrative corner for Leslie. She's always dreamed of being a state or national political player and sometimes it looks like that's where they're heading, The current episode, where she was offered an EPA job, was a prime example of that. But since we can't have her leave Pawnee without the show being over, she had to demur on what was supposed to be her big dream.
So, either the producers establish an endpoint and start working on a storyline that gets her out of Pawnee, or they spin their wheels for however many seasons they can keep the show going.
Again, there is still a lot to enjoy on the show. And I like the idea of the characters evolving and growing (assuming they still remain funny and consistent). But is the show starting to evolve enough that the story is coming to an end?

I think this is a very smart, very clever show with a good heart and some very, very funny moments.
I was sorry to Chris and Anne leave. That was, literally, the saddest goodbye ever.
Ron Swanson should get his own spin-off if they do shut down. His character is just brilliant.

Re: Parks and Recreation: winding down?
I agree the show is winding down. When you lose your core actors and try to replace them you probably have one season or less left. Just like NewsRadio with Hartman. They're really trying with that guy who yells, but he's so one dimensional and grating it's not going to work.
Also, how long to these shows usually last anyway? Nine seems to be the absolute maximum limit for a sitcom. The Office lasted nine, even ratings monsters like Seinfeld, Roseanne, Friends didn't go past nine. Parks & Rec deserves to end on its own terms, so I hope it decides to pretty soon. It's still a good show but not nearly as good as seasons three and four with the harvest festival and election arcs.

Re: Parks and Recreation: winding down?
Even "the Simpsons" only really had nine good seasons out of the approximately 25 years its been on the air.
"MASH" ran 11 years but by the eighth or ninth season it was more a drama with some comedic moments (ala Hill St Blues or LA Law) than comedy.
In fact, I'd say that probably only "Cheers" did more than nine "good seasons" and even that show overstayed its welcome a bit.

Re: Parks and Recreation: winding down?
Animated shows are an exception, of course. King of the Hill lasted 11, South Park's running on 17 and Family Guy's in double digits. For rather obvious reasons, all but a handful of the personnel are replaceable and voice acting doesn't lead to more lucrative offers quite the way TV acting does.

Re: Parks and Recreation: winding down?
Parks and Recreation, with the exception of Jerry/Larry, has avoided making their characters into one-note jokes (I always use Ross Geller as an example, since I hated him in the last few seasons where it was one ridiculous situation after another designed to show how pitiful he was, such as the spray tan incident, dating an undergrad, etc. To a lesser extent, Andy Bernard, who started out as a joke, was given some development, and then made into a joke again). I'd hate to see that happen to the cast. Let them bow out gracefully at the end of next season, with the, typical "final season" arc of showing the characters move towards their post-finale lives.

Re: Parks and Recreation: winding down?
The show is as great now as it ever was. Each of the characters are fantastic and fully realized but hardly reaching the endpoint of their development or narrative. Earlier this season, Leslie faced a HUGE setback to her dream of becoming a high-ranking public servant when she was recalled from office. Andy's dream of becoming Burt Macklin was dampened similarly and Tom lost his successful business. Ron has taken steps into the 21st century (cellphone for family emergencies) and April has taken steps to becoming a vet (school, job at the animal shelter), but they are both just steps toward a larger goal.
Parks and Rec has always survived on the bubble and the show's creators have always sprinkled possible endgame scenarios throughout the series in case the present season should be its last. Leslie getting elected was one and this EPA job is just the latest. However, now that the show has been unofficially renewed for a seventh season, I'm sure that the job offer will evaporate and she'll once again pursue her dream of being an elected official (which is her actual goal).
As a fan, I hope the show wraps up next season because they've already stretched out NBC's charitable nature beyond expected reason and an 8th season seems highly unlikely. I hope they go out in a satisfying way with enough notice not to rush plans along.
I don't feel that the show is past it's expiration date, creatively or chronologically. Remember: the first P&R season was a pittance of episodes and the show didn't develop into the Parks and Rec that we know until Ben showed up and Mark Brandonowitz (sic) exited. That's when the show's overall theme became about positive change and the writers found their POV voice. That's only about four seasons -- maybe four and a half seasons -- worth of episodes ago. Not what I'd call long in the tooth, by any rate.
For my money, Parks and Rec is still the best current network sitcom and I look forward to every episode. They can wind down next season.

Re: Parks and Recreation: winding down?
I love the character, and I love Chris Pratt, but ever since he's gotten his foot in the door of Hollywood, he just doesn't seem to bother much anymore. I suppose it also doesn't help that Andy is barely there in the show as it is right now. He just randomly pops up in a scene, says something humorous then disappears into the background again.
Don't believe everything I say.

Re: Parks and Recreation: winding down?
In a city where it seems everything is solved by the Parks Department, I'm surprised their whole budget strategy isn't "Give it to Parks and let them figure it out." Between Leslie's resourcefulness and Ron's hatred of government, they'll fix any problem from throwing a prom, to handling the town's animals, to coming up with a better way to collect garbage, to fixing your pot hole, etc.
