Fun Ski
By Calabskier
from Calgary, AB
About Me Expert
This is my first powder-dedicated ski for me, and the third addition to my now three-ski quiver. Perhaps 6 days logged on them last season at Kicking Horse, skiing the bowls and the chutes, and each day was awesome. Felt just as comfortable running the tracked out at the end of the day as they were on the morning freshies. But take heed, no matter what you read about them, they're not a good choice for the hard-pack. On a whim one day when my park skis were in the shop, I took both the Sickles and my 2011 MSP's out to compare each on the jumps at COP in Calgary. Conditions were classic Calgary mid-winter 100% man-made boilerplate - the result of near daily snowmaking during a two-month period of desert-like dryness mixed with day-time temps that swing repeatedly from -20C to +10C and back to -20C, sometimes on back to back days. The Rossi's were a little scary compared to my MSP's that day. The MSP's are fully cambered, 96mm underfoot, and the Sickles sort of felt like I was strapped to bowling balls instead of skis after first taking a lap on the MSP's. Perhaps on softer snow the Rossi's are still a winner, but I'll stick to the MSP's for mountain groomers and my TNK's for the park-only days when skiing in the city.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Perfect for softer snow
By TT

I used as all mountain ski. It is on the softer side but you still can charge on groom run, very playful ski, love it.
Great for deep pow pow
By ski bum
from New Mexico
Bought these for powder skiing at Silverton (and heavy snow days at other places). They worked nicely, able to float and carve easily. One drawback is the weight of the ski. With the wood core, they are heavy, when hiking to the fresh stuff. I like the width of this ski too, I'm still able to catch an edge on the flats and carve in moguls without too much work. I rented K2 obsethed the previous year at Silverton, which are a much wider ski. Had to really muscle through on the flats to catch an edge, a real pain. Nice overall ski for pow pow. However, go with a thinner ski unless you are planning to spend most of the day in the deep stuff.

My skiing improved with these skis.
One ski quiver!
By Eazy Slider
from Carson Pass, CA
The bomb...simply put the most versatile ski I've ever ridden. I'm 6'0, 150lbs dripping wet, aggressive, ride the 174, I have a pass at kirkwood and take these into the Carson Pass BC with a pair of Marker Baron's. Minimal rocker throughout doesn't cost too much traction while skinning and rips in the trees as well as when put on an edge. Super snappy, I feel as if I'm on a pogo stick when activated. I mounted mine -1cm and have never had any tip dive from manky tar pit pow to good old over the shoulder blower. The harder you push them, the better they respond. It's like they know what you want to do before you commit. Wide enough to hang in the deep, but not too obnoxous to hang on boilerplate or hard pack. Garunteed you love 'em.
By James
from Marysville, CA
These things are pretty frickin' sweet. Great floatation, amazing balance, quick and lively, and can surprisingly tackle any terrain. I may never go back to a cambered ski again. Light weight construction makes them great skis for the backcountry too.

Price was right

These skis are great for all around and big enough to cut through the crud. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore so that helped with the price!

Change Retention Category on Historical Archives
Hello Admins
This forum is continuation of below forum:
I am trying to change retention category on an histrocail vault store & journal archives on that vault store. I cannot figure any easy trick around it (like EVPM or VAC). However, I found below forum which talks about changing retention category via SQL:
use evvaultstore1
update View_saveset_archive_vault
set retentioncategoryidentity = '1'
from View_saveset_archive_vault ss
Inner Join enterprisevaultdirectory.dbo.archiveview av on av.vaultentryid = ss.archivepointid
where ss.RetentionCategoryIdentity = '4' AND av.ArchiveName = 'Mohawk Marvin'
I just modified above a bit, to use "Select" Statement to see what this query is hitting, and I got like 4800K hits and rising. So I wanted to make sure that the query indeed is hitting only archive named "Mohawk Marvin" (theoritically it is, but better safe than sorry ;-)
I also used below SQL query to determine what are the histroical journl archive names in that particular vault store (just if anyone needs or interested)
SELECT VaultStoreName AS 'Vault Store', ArchiveName AS Archive, DatabaseDSN AS 'Database', SQLServer AS 'SQL Server'
FROM VaultStoreEntry vse, Archive a
WHERE vse.VaultStoreEntryId = a.VaultStoreEntryId
GROUP BY VaultStoreName, ArchiveName, DatabaseDSN, SQLServer
I am not sure if retention category could be assigned on vault store level or via EVPM sciprt/ini file on historical archives somehow?
Thanks in advance !
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
this really can't be done natively in EV due to the way that the retention information is stored outside of sql. we have a custom tool that was written for this purpose which you might want to have a look at. i'll send you a message so we can discuss in more detail.

THE DISTILLERY TO HOST AMERKS "MEET THE PLAYERS" PARTY TUESDAY, OCT. 9News | 9/30/2012 10:26:42 AM | ROCHESTER AMERICANS

We thought we were finally seeing some light at the end of the John Galliano replacement tunnel, but it turns out we might have been mistaken. Reports that Raf Simons is still in the running to take over the top job at Dior were amplified by his decision to leave Jil Sander this week, but sources say that a move to Dior might not be in the cards anymore.
Women's Wear Daily reports that neither Simons nor the people who work at Jil Sander will comment on the designer's next steps, though it has been confirmed that designer Jil Sander, who founded the brand in 1968, will return to replace him. Meanwhile, Simons is either being clandestine about what his next move will be, or he hasn't fully figured it out yet.
As reported, the designer had been in discussions late last year with Christian Dior about becoming its sixth couturier and the successor to John Galliano. However, it is understood the parties failed to reach an agreement and it appears unlikely Simons will join the French firm.
Dior had no comment on Thursday, and the house has yet to reveal any plans regarding its creative leadership. The company is enjoying strong business momentum with its design teams under the creative leadership of Bill Gaytten, a longtime Galliano collaborator. Sources said Dior is mulling continuing with a team approach, possibly adding some young, up-and-coming talents.
So where does that leave Simons? WWD speculates that he might have his eye on Stefano Pilati's job at Yves Saint Laurent. Pilati's contract ends next month, and Simons could be next in line to take over the French fashion house if that contract isn't renewed. Still, it seems like every four months there's another rumor about Pilati getting canned, and it never turns out to be true.
A slightly more likely scenario is that he will focus on developing his own eponymous label, which currently just has men's clothing. Simons only started designing women's clothing when he took over at Jil Sander in 2005, and it's said that he's keen to add it to his personal repertoire. Stylist Anna Dello Russo told Fashionista just this week that "maybe adding womens next to men" would be a good direction for him to go in.
The complication, however, is that Simons' line doesn't have financing for his label. Simons left Futurenet, the company that owned his label, last January, and although he's presented menswear collections since then, he hasn't been formally linked to another financier. Maybe leaving Jil Sander will free up time for him to look for the support he'd need to build his men's line into a full collection? We'll have to wait and see.

The title says it all: Teaching English in Asia: 39 Tips and Tricks for Surviving and Thriving in the Orient By Michael Hetherington. Written by the man with writing credits including "Chakra Balancing Made Simple and Easy" and "The Little Book of Yin", this minimalist guide offers less on the formatting side and more on the frank advice you wish you'd heard before you make the jump to Asia.
It's clear Michael is drawing from years of experience, though I sometimes wish he was clearer on which pieces of advice regarded which countries. I've never taught in China or Thailand, but references are often country-specific in paragraphs of general advice. The warnings about having big feet, for example, are entirely relevant in small-town Korea – though around Seoul there are fewer issues…
A list of pros for each country is more specific, and may help you make up your mind on which country (or countries) should make your short-list. There's no sugar-coating here, but each of the 39 sections requires time and effort to implement the advice. Some are shorter than others (as short as a paragraph), and I wish there were more personal anecdotes. It's optimistic, written by a knowledgeable author aware of what you're in for, and best thought of as a collection of tips.
It's a short, breezy read – experienced Asian expats would find themselves knowing most of the tips, while those in the 'coming to Asia' might be a bit disappointed in its brevity. For anyone coming to Asia looking for a few quick words on what to expect before they arrive, this'll be what you're looking for. For someone seeking a bit more meat (especially when it comes to Korea), check out Valerie and Griffin's selection of e-books, including 'Coming to Korea' and 'Living in Korea'.
Recommended, with reservations, for newbies.

Matte Black Hood Wrap Re-wrap
6 Attachment(s)
OK, so as many of you regular readers of the 1LE forum know, a couple of us here have had some problems with marks on our hood wraps that just wouldn't come out (tbirdsleeve's "Mine" written on the hood is one of the worst!) My dealer agreed to replace mine and I had it done today. The results..... amazing!! It's looks almost better than new. A shout out here to my dealer's installer - Jim from VI Designz in Torrington CT! :clap2:. He is a true artist and did a great job, I couldn't be happier! Glad I decided to have the wrap put back on, the BRM just didn't look as "badass" without it. a little nerve wracking at times to watch :yikes: but it all worked out in the end!! :thumbup: Attached are some pictures of the install....
Looks great...again:smiling1: :thumbsup: How did they do the corners of the hood by the windshield?
heat gun (verrrrry carefully!) and he just wrapped it under and kept working it , mostly with his fingers. he did the whole hood surface first , then he pulled the edges under and trimmed it.
Great job--I hope mine comes out just as good--happy for you!!!
Is that a GM OEM replacement wrap or aftermarket brand?
GM OEM Wrap....dealer provided it... chevroletgraphics.com
Looks awesome!!!
I agree the BRM def looks better with the wrap. The black contrast really helps the BRM color pop more. Good choic having it re-wrapped!!
Looks great! Luckily, no problems with mine so far & I've only used soap/water on it. One more thumbs us for the dealership too (thought we got our 1LEs from the same place). When I had a new splitter installed, the mechanic parked it away from everything and looked it over with me and the service manager, and the salesman I worked with to be sure I was happy with it.
Did he put anthying on the vinyl after install? Just curious if he used any particular detailing spray.
Did doing the concept wrap cross ur mind or was that not possible
I'm glad this is working out for you. But you're putting the same thing on that caused you the problem in the first place. Maybe the care method should change???
Here's what I do and I've posted this several times on the forum; I have not problems with the wrap and I leave my car outside 24x7 ...
1. Wash with foam gun.
2. Gently "scrub" with hand mit.
3. Rinse (and dry) using pooling or sheet method.
4. Finish drying with leaf blower (dedicated to car).
5. Once every 1.5 months protect it with Adams VRT (vinyl, rubber, tire).
6. Spot clean (eg: bird poop) with Garry Dean's infinite use detail juice (one or two caps with 8 oz of distilled water). Note: this takes out hard water stains too if you don't dry it fast enough.
Good luck!

I had it re-wrapped cause I didn't damage it and I wanted it restored to factory specs. If it gets all marked up in a couple of years, I'll revisit doing something different (paint??). anyways, I asked the guy who did the work (who has 12+ years of working with vinyl) what he would recommend to use on it. His answer..... nothing but soap and water!! :faint: He said that the matte vinyl is somewhat porous and and that anything you put on it will be absorbed into the vinyl and you will become a slave to whatever your using. He said that he has seen a ton of people start using a product on vinyl for awhile and when they stop applying it is when all the damage starts (cracking, fading, peeling, etc)! His recommendation would be to stick with nothing until it starts to show wear, then the Adam's VRT looked good, as well as McGuire's detail spray, but that it would be about all he would recommend for products....
His last thought was to give me the scraps that were left from the install and maybe cut several test pieces and try different products on half and nothing on the other half, put in outside and see what happens!! I might just do that!
Amazingly, I watched him work this stuff with a rubber squeegee covered in a paper towel and his fingers, some liquid spray and a heat gun... and I was actually impressed with how tough the vinyl actually is!! It takes a lot to mark it up, of course rubbing something on it when it's dirty would be the kiss of death! Ask tbirdsleeve about that!!
Hope this helps... remember I didn't say all this, the vinyl installer did....:biggrin:
I know I will be considered a Nut

Hey guys, quick question. I'm trading up to a 1LE from my V6. The 1LE I found is black 2SS with no RS. A few questions.
Can they remove the hood wrap and is the normal paint underneath? I like it better.:crazy:
Without the RS it will be missing the Halogen lights, correct? Are the taillights also different? Can dealer just install the Halogens and replace tailights?
Any other differences without the RS?
Question about wheels. Can wheels be stripped of black paint and what will be underneath?
Look, I know by now you think I'm nuts. I love the 1LE feel when I drive it, the close ratio gearbox, the handling etc. I'm not in love with the all black look and black wheels.:happyanim:
Has anyone else have a 1LE that doesn't have black wheels or no flat black hood?:grouphug:
Included a picture of my current 2LT to show you the look I like.
Looks great... the flat is the trick... everyone that cleans with product has "some" sheen to it which ruins the looks. No shine for the win!! make sure the soap you use does not have any gloss or wax in it. Surprisingly most do...
Hood is painted body color under wrap and can be removed--rims don't have the best quality paint coverage on them--not sure if u could strip or not and if u did it wouldn't have shiny chrome look--people LIVE the black rims (on ZL1 also)-- I guarantee someone would buy them off u and/or trade stock rims--u will LOVE the car!!!!!
Meant LOVE black rims not LIVE--autocorrect!!!!
1 Attachment(s)
This is what they will look like stripped. Check with local wheel shops about blasting off the paint and polishing. They can chrome them if you want.
Okay that sounds good
Thanks to Tbirdsleeve and Southern Comfort.
I will have dealer remove wrap if i buy it. I will ask his wheel guy to see what can be done with wheels. I love the polished ones on the ZL1 pace car.
Black car with those polished wheels.:nod:
Yes, and that Vette looks good as well. Do you have a ZR1 hood on that beauty?
@ Jims Mongoose - The non RS has the Halogen lamps. You must be talking about the HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamps. You can get aftermarket ones by Eagle Eye. If you get the HID factory ones, they will be quite expensive. The taillights are just a shade darker lens for the RS compared to the non RS.
I found Angel Eye headlights:
another link:
:sorry: for the :threadjacked:
Thanks for the RS Correction
So bad@sscamaro, then the High Intensity Discharge lamps are what people are referring to when they say 'Halos', correct. If I get the car the dealer will throw those in or lose the deal. :happyanim:
Is it possible to get the darker lens for the taillights without buying the whole assembly?
Thanks for the links.:nod:
It's not the lens it's the inner housing. Good luck with the dealer throwing in the HID's. U will need a hareness to make them work.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Many people who struggle with the constant pain of migraines are getting relief from a surgical procedure, and one of the few places it can be found is right here in Bangor.
Dr. David Branch of "Bangor Plastic and Hand Surgery" is one of the few doctors in the nation performing the surgery. The procedure, which was developed by a doctor in Cleveland, removes small parts of muscle in the head that can trigger migraines.
These muscles create pressure on the nerves that create migraine pain in what experts call 'trigger zones' such as the brow or the back of the head. Patients are first treated with Botox to see if paralyzing those muscles stops their migraines.
Dr. Branch has performed hundreds of surgeries over the last eight years. He says that many people have come great distances to get rid of their migraines.
"About half of our patients come from out of state," he said, " so we're just now starting to get more patients from the southern part of the state. I think the neurologists in the state are really starting to get on board...insurance companies are also finding that they will save a fair amount of money."
Dr. Branch says some patients who have had the procedure have left with a feeling of numbness and mild irritation in the areas that were operated on. In some cases, the numbness is a permanent side effect.

Advice on Horses For Loan
If you're considering horses for loan, there are a number of factors you need to consider. If you don't have the time, finances or space to own a horse outright, opting for a horse for loan can be an excellent compromise. Learn more about the benefits of a horses for loan share in the guide below.
Choosing a Horse For Loan: 5 Top Tips
1. In the majority of horse for loan schemes, the person taking out the loan will have overall responsibility for the day-to-day care, exercise and welfare of the horse. Therefore, as the loanee, it will fall on you to carry out mucking out duties and ensure the horse remains in prime physical condition.
2. A written agreement is the most common method used to arrange a horse for loan share. However, before you agree to anything, it's important for both sides to have complete clarity over the terms of the loan arrangement. For instance, one moot point in any loan deal can be medical and veterinary costs incurred during the length of the loan. It's essential to discuss this issue at the earliest possible opportunity, as it could result in an unwanted legal dispute if left ambiguous.
3. If you are the person offering a horses for loan share, it's important to state in the agreement the amount of time and access the loanee is allowed to your horse, as this can again become a source of conflict if not determined at the initial agreement. For instance, you may want to have an opportunity to ride the horse at the weekends, and naturally a loanee may not react positively if they are not aware of this fact from the outset.
4. If you are keen to further your interest in horse riding, but harbour a couple of doubts as to whether you are ready to take full ownership of a horse, then it may be worth considering the option of horses and ponies for loan. It can be a great opportunity to learn the realities of owning a horse (such as mucking out, feeding etc) without the substantial financial commitment of full ownership.
5. Finally, there are other options you can consider aside from agreeing to a horse for loan deal. Remember, even though a loan arrangement will be far cheaper than full ownership, there are still significant costs involved. If you do not have the resources to loan a horse, you could always apply for voluntary work at riding schools and stables, where you can offer your services for free in exchange for the opportunity to gain some experience of looking after and riding horses.

Buy Oxyhives
Our eyes, our ears, our sense of smell, our taste create as many truths as there are men on earth. Oxyhives and Tom digitized an old family photo and emailed it to his mother. It's important for young people to study English. The wedding will take place on Saturday. He achieved his aim at last. The two people were shaking hands heartily as if they had not seen each other for years. I roll my own cigarettes. He's afraid of dogs.
and The following day he was found dead in the bedroom. I doubt that Tom is happy. Is that the train I have to take? You can go to the theatre, the cinema, or the swimming pool. Are you free now? Oxyhives and I doubt the new proposal will be accepted. I'm really tired. We both teach each other the language. Please take your book off this table. Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. We are counting on you for financial help. Oxyhives and Did you have a good sleep? Keep the fire alive. You are always to knock before you come into my room. It is time you had a haircut! Admission to the museum is thirty dollars. He appeared on television last night. Oxyhives and He is inclined to get mad. We walked through thick bushes. How long did it take you to drive from here to Tokyo? Tom deserves a vacation. She is easygoing. I didn't want to bring you in. I cannot choose but hear. My aunt grows tomatoes in her garden. I was afraid I might be late. He wished Mary had told him the story. His daughter has become a beautiful woman. His students adored him. You can go to the station by bus. The price of vegetables varies from day to day. The ring I gave her had a tiny stone in it.

If you are looking to lower your carbohydrate intake, try Sprouted wheat bread by The Sprouted Bakehouse (Cybros) company. Goggle "Cybros" to get more information. Each slice has 4 grams of net carbs, 5 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and is only 65 calories. I have reduced my carbohydrate intake dramatically by eating 1-2 slices of this bread whenever I need a slice of bread for a sandwich, toast, etc. You can find Sprouted Wheat Bread at Whole Foods Market.Enjoy!
I buy only the things that are low carb and even hubby eats them now.497492487490106
Thinking about how much I dread going to the store or to a restaurant because of the distance and time it takes to get there prevents me from eating out and encourages me to stay home and cook. 30
Reaching protein goals has been challenging. Then I discovered the Smart Carb #1 Bread from Julian Bakery. It contains 12g of protein, 12g fiber, 13g carbohydrates and is only 109 calories. It makes it easier to meet protein and fiber goals. This bread is great for folks with diabetes. Net Carb =1g

There were many messages sent from South Bend on Sunday. Obama's opponents seek to reignite the culture wars. He doesn't. They would reduce religious faith to a narrow set of issues. He refused to join them.

President Barack Obama attempted the impossible during his commencement speech at Notre Dame University in Indiana on Sunday: He asked those on both sides of the abortion debate to "join hands in common effort."
UND / Ben Franske
You have heard the expression "more Catholic than the pope." We now know that the reaction of right-wing Catholics to Notre Dame's invitation to President Obama falls into this category.
In respect to tradition, one would expect Obama to deliver Notre Dame's commencement address in May, but a crowd of Fighting Irish have decided to try to keep the new president away from the hallowed campus for fear that some of his thinking might rub off on them.
Chris Hedges gave this keynote address on Wednesday, May 28, in Furman University's Younts Conference Center. The address was part of protests by faculty and students over the South Carolina college's decision to invite George W. Bush to give the May 31 commencement address.

Truthdig salutes New School University graduating senior Jean Rohe, whose commencement speech at Madison Square Garden on Friday preemptively struck against the address that Sen. John McCain was due to deliver directly after her.
UPDATE: Rohe responds to the McCain staffer: "Please don't try to bully me anymore."
UPDATE #2: Rohe goes on MSNBC.
Jean Rohe, the graduating senior at the New School University who spoke just before John McCain's commencement speech explains why she "tore McCain's speech apart before he even opened his mouth."
Librado Romero / The New York Times
The Arizona senator got heavily jeered during his commencement address for a New York university. One student banner read, "Our commencement is not your platform."
From austinchronicle.com
Almond, an adjunct professor at Boston College, has resigned his post to protest the college's choice of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as commencement speaker. "I cannot, in good conscience, exhort my students to pursue truth and knowledge, then collect a paycheck from an institution that displays such flagrant disregard for both," he writes.
Imagine if Colin Powell or George Tenet had shown this kind of moral fortitude. There might not have been a war.
Now the Arizona senator says it's "an honor" to speak at the college of Jerry Falwell's, the same man he once called an "agent of intolerance."

New Undergraduate Degree Program Opens Up a World of Career Possibilities.
Hello from Cedarville University. Thank you for your interest in the Department of English, Literature, and Modern Languages. Our programs produce men and women who communicate effectively and think deeply, cross-culturally, and creatively about the ideas that have shaped and continue to shape our world.
Our mission is to challenge students to go beyond expectations. Henry David Thoreau once wrote that we hit only what we aim at and thus ought to aim at something high. We agree — aim high.

Lewis or Flannery O'Connor? At Cedarville University, we want our students to aspire to such heights.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR | A Poor Precedent in McCoy Cartoon
As a longtime subscriber, I have often been shocked by the lack of decency displayed by political cartoonists, but having fun with public figures is their stock and trade.
Well, Glenn McCoy has gone too far with his Aug. 31 cartoon placing President Obama in a padded cell, in a straight jacket, with Tinkerbell, birdies and bunnies circling him. Now add the caption "Poor guy, he lives in a magical make-believe world where his presidency ISN'T a horrible failure," and we get shoved into a depressing scarey cell ourselves.
This cartoon falls way short of "humorous," provides no-one (lefties or righties) with a fun moment of enlightenment, does not illustrate visually a point of view otherwise difficult to express, and is degrading to the electorate.
I hope we are better than this as a civilized society and we should be shocked by the lack of decency shown by this cartoon.

Property is in demand due to reduced inventory, as there are more potential buyers than sellers. Bidding wars with other buyers are possible, and listings begin to sell at greater than the asking price.
Rent prices are relatively stable, and availability is good. If your yearly income is around $60,000, you can afford to rent in this market. Rent prices have increased by 9% over the past 3 months. This is 55% lower than the state average of $2,221 and 100% higher than the country average of $0.
The average home price in 45102 is $160,000, which is 6.7% higher than the average sold price in 45102 ($150,000) . The average home price per square foot in 45102 is $70 and about 3% of all homes in 45102 sold in the last 6 months.

ABINGDON, Va. – Dr. Bill Baker and Dr. Jon Swank, both formerly of Internal Medicine Associates P.C., have joined Mountain States Medical Group Internal Medicine, Abingdon.
This busy group has been part of the community since 1995.
In Abingdon and the surrounding area, Johnston Memorial Hospital continues to sponsor practices that were part of Abingdon Physician Partners before the merger and new or newly aligned Mountain State Medical Group practices.
"This association continues the trend in Abingdon for independent groups to align more closely and collaboratively with Johnston Memorial Hospital; an important strategy as we position JMH and the medical community for health care reform," said Sean McMurray, CEO of Johnston Memorial Hospital.
MSMG Internal Medicine will continue in its current location for six months and then move with several other JMH-based practices into the new medical office building next to the new JMH facility.
The practice may be reached at 276-623-8100.

I guess I'll have to stick with my usual 2.2kW light display.
And btw, that was an awesome light show... who cares if it was real or cut and paste... it took a lot of time, and the video was great! (Make sure you watch the last 30 seconds, when the blue lights kick in...)
Yes.. you are the dumb one. Off and on would take more because there is a small surge when you turn them off.
That was an awesome show!
oh. and it would suck to be the person across the street. *looks out window* *funky music plays. lights flash on and off at 1 AM*

Latest webcam images from Bansko:
Please, post a comment on webcam in Bansko.
We will greatly appreciate this. It will help us improve the content of this website, so other people know what they can expect.
for the last 2 years in as row ive benn at bansko 07 and 08 this must be the best year by, there more snow its colder plus im going again in feb
Wheres the snow?!?!? & why is this the only webcam thats working? I know it is snowing, so hopefully we will start to see it on here soon! So excited! :o)
With all the talk of snow and the season starting 2 weeks early why is the cam still showing last wednesday? I hope it has not melted already? I need to see the slopes ! !
I am going to Bansko in January - February 2008 to ski with my family and hope that there will be snow there! We only get to see it as little as once a year, so it is really special! I was wondering if anyone knew what the round-looking building is? Anyway, have fun on your holidays skiiers and snowboarders!
i was checking the weather in basko and i looked to see the weather on your list for 1st jan 07 when i was last there. you show alot of snow which was not there so like to know were you got it from. i was there from 30th dec until 4th jan 07 there was no snow.
Hi, it is looking good but i suppose it is better to see it ''in live". Good luck to those who do it!
We stayed at the hotel Mura in Bankso from 22nd to 29th January. The hotel itself was excellent and a few of the restaurants were of a good standard but I would have to say the majority of meals we ate were poor. The snow conditions at the start of the week was sketchy at best which was similar to many European resorts this season. However when the snow did come later in the week, the service and organisation on the slopes was just plain awful. There were lift closures with no explanation, slope closures even though the conditions were wonderful. Overall the cheapness of the holiday just about outweighed the bad points, but only just. With a bit more organisation and savvy about the resort it could have been a fantastic holiday. I would definitely consider going back but only in about 2-3 years.
Katarino Spa hotel is most beautiful in whole area off Bansko. Thank you and thank to Katarino Spa hotel
just got back to wales after skiing in bansko for the week. I have to say it was an amazing experience and im guuted to be back home in wales!!! bansko is a lovely place for skiing and i hope to visit some time soon!! thank you to our ski instructor ALEX he was fantastic!!

Making a Miracle (ticket)
This is a story of helping out a friend, which is a good thing for community members to do if they get the chance. The friend in this story is Bruno Souza. He is the current Community Leader of the JUGS Community here on java.net, and a more enthusiastic guy you'll never meet! (and he's a snappy dresser!)
Now, those of you readers who know me are not surprised to learn that I have spent some time in my life attending Grateful Dead concerts. At any Dead show, you can find sweet kids holding up one hand pointing to heaven (in a gesture later poached by the folks at Microsoft). It means they need a free ticket to the show. They are hoping for a "miracle ticket", and from time to time when I have a spare ticket I have been known to gift it to one of these miracle seekers. Its totally worthwhile just to see the beatific smile you get (and anyway, I can use the good Karma points :-) )
So anyway, an opportunity came along this week to bestow a Miracle Ticket to O'Reilly's OSCon on Bruno! Since I missed JavaONE this year (see my blog on GUADEC), I didn't get to see the Be-flagged Brasileiro in action this year. But thanks to Simon Phipps' trip to FISL we've all become familiar with Bruno's novel stance on the question of Java and Open Source. Hopefully he'll find time at OSCon to do a BOF on that topic.
But even if Bruno doesn't get to hold a talk at OSCon, its gonna be great seeing his smile in Portland. Bruno, é isso aí meu!

text: I have used flea & tick treatments every 4 weeks for one year on my four year old, 11 pound Maltese, ever since we moved to a wooded area with a flea population that is relentless. I have used Zodiac and FrontLine without problems. I picked up Sargent's Gold from an end cap at the local grocery store, thinking I was buying a top of the line, high quality product. I was a victim of packaging / commercialism. I applied the treatment 3 days ago and went out for the day. When I returned later the same day, I found my dog, Gracie, unable to use her back legs, I found vomit in four places, she was shaking. I examined her the best I could, at first thinking she hurt her back or hip. She suddenly seemed relaxed and proceeded later to chew vigorously on her paw. I carried her outside to have her avoid stairs and she proceeded to rub her face into the ground with great vigor. I have never seen her behave like that. At this point, I thought it was her paw that was the issue. I soaked it and we went to bed as she seemed to become more playful at times. In the morning she was shaking uncontrollably, her back end kept going sideways, she then hid under the bed and did not respond when I spoke. I truely thought she was dead. After about 10 minutes, she moved her tail and started to walk around, getting to be more herself as the morning progressed. That evening I suddenly remembered the application of flea treatment! It had been such a routine thing that I had not even thought about it! I researched the product only to read one horror story after another…almost word for word, symptom for symptom as what we had experienced with Gracie. I am horrified that this is still a product being sold so casually. I am angry that I did not research flea treatments more thouroughly, I am mad as hell that the companies rarely take responsibilities here. I have yet to call Sargents as I have been putting all my energy into ridding my home of this toxin. My husband experienced dizziness, unable to focus� his vision, and developed a rash on both forearms which I attribute to holding Gracie before I bathed her in an effort to remove residual pesticides from her coat and skin. When I bathed her, I discovered her eye socket area was swollen, like a golf ball was trying� to protrude. She still itches and has a sore at the application site. Her face still itches. The neurological effects have been frightening, to say the least. I will be in a meeting with our VET to discuss this, I have sent mass emails to folks in an effort to educate, I will be in touch with Sargent's, the EPA, and anyone else I can as this needs to be front page news and the warnings need to be in large print. The package should be labeled PESTICIDE in large letters, as many of us subconciously think "medication" when we think "treatment"…a common mistake due to our own ignorance. Gracie is steadily improving, we are very lucky here. Please…….do your homework…..and do not buy Sargent's Gold!

I am the typical geek turned extrovert. Love those flashy gadgets. Horrified with forced interaction. Was consoled by the sandbox and monkey bars. Then I got propelled into a different life.
I moved 4.5 times. 0.5 because the last move was by choice. And had the joy of playing new kid in 5.5 different schools. Tough skin... created!
Now I'm just trying to find where I fit in.
The phases that I've been through are too countless too number. I believe in trying everything twice.
Still, I keep to myself. Extroverted. But private.
So expect perhaps only sporadic insights, but periodic updates on my new adventures through my portfolio!

Beavers rout Ducks to finish sweep
CORVALLIS _ Oregon State turned the 333rd Civil War into a rout Saturday, running away in the second half for a 62-42 victory in Gill Coliseum.
Combined with OSU's 64-57 win at McArthur Court last month, it made for the first sweep of the Civil War by the Beavers since the 1992-93 season.
It also left the two teams with identical Pac-10 records at 4-6, with Oregon 12-10 overall and the Beavers 10-12.
Omari Johnson led the Beavers with a season-high 18 points. Matt Humphrey and Malcolm Armstead each had 10 points for the Ducks.
Oregon scored the first four points of the second half to close within 32-29 but the Beavers responded with a 12-2 run for a 44-32 lead that put the game away with 11 minutes remaining. A 12-0 run by OSU later pushed the advantage to 59-34 with five minutes left in the game.
While the Ducks were missing shots from near and far, or turning the ball over, OSU sliced and diced the Oregon defense for one close shot after another as the lead ballooned.
Oregon went a full 10 minutes between field goals, a three by Humphrey that got Oregon within 40-32 until a drive by Armstead cut OSU's lead to 59-36.
Unlike the previous meeting when Oregon had turnovers on its first five possessions, the Ducks actually had a field goal attempt and two free throws in their first three possessions, and led 2-0.
Oregon did, however, commit five turnovers before its first field goal, a follow shot by Humphrey six minutes into the game. That cut into what had been a 10-2 lead for the Beavers, and Oregon later used seven consecutive points for a 19-18 advantage.
It was still 22-22 before OSU had its own 7-0 run, culminated by one of four three-pointers in the first half by Johnson, who hadn't made a three in the first nine Pac-10 games. His 16 points in the first half were already a season high for him as the Beavers led 32-25.

The Manifesto and New Morality of the 9/11 Mastermind
Posted on Jan 15, 2014
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, known as the mastermind of 9/11, has released a new manifesto and allegedly come into a new way of thinking and believing. KSM, who claimed responsibility for beheading journalist Daniel Pearl in addition to planning the deadliest terrorist attack in United States history, now says the Quran forbids force "as a means of converting." Instead, "truth and reality" are brought upon us through "mind and wisdom." He may be one of the biggest monsters of the 21st century, but Mohammed is in an authoritative position to comment on the war on terror, and his role in it.
In his Manifesto, which was published by the Huffington Post, he says that his fight was never against "freedom and democracy," as was stated many times in the years following 9/11, but rather against the alleged oppression of Muslims and the supporting of Israel.
He writes that he will be releasing a manifesto soon on "why the Mujahedeen carried out 9/11 and whether it was a terrorist operation or an act of self-defense." He notes that it will include a chapter on "the truth about the so-called 'War on Terror.' "
The following is a sample, in which he refers to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan:

The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has called for changes in public-sector IT procurement to encourage more competition for contracts.
The OFT undertook a market investigation that looked at competition between companies in two key areas that account for about 50 per cent of UK public-sector ICT expenditure - commercial off-the-shelf software and outsourced IT.
It found that there were barriers preventing companies from entering the market or expanding their share of supply and barriers deterring buyers from switching between suppliers.
It said that these include: overly complex procurement practices that mean responding to tenders can be time-consuming and expensive; prohibitively costly and time-consuming processes for gaining security clearances to carry out public-sector ICT work; and an inherent advantage held by some incumbent suppliers that can lead to significant switching costs.
An example of this, it said, was that the incumbent may provide bespoke products that large numbers of staff are trained to use - leading to significant costs and disruption if the public-sector department changed its supplier.
The OFT said that these barriers were compounded further by the fact that public-sector buyers lacked the requisite information to judge whether a proposed ICT product or service was the most efficient or best value solution.
There is also a lack of data collection by the public sector, it said, which makes it difficult for public-sector buyers to evaluate the performance of their incumbent suppliers, or to decide whether switching would make more sense.
The OFT went on to claim that the sector lacks sufficient in-house commercial and technical expertise that could help it to better understand and manage large and complex ICT contracts more effectively. It said that ICT suppliers tend to know more than public-sector buyers about ICT goods and services, which has led to an imbalance that can be seen in suppliers' complex pricing and lack of transparency.
The report did commend public-sector buyers for starting to change the way they procure ICT - by splitting up large contracts into "towers", for example. However, it recommends that the sector should work with suppliers to "ensure comprehensive, consistent and objective data is collected efficiently about products, prices and supplier performance".
It adds that IT suppliers should in turn also do more to improve understanding by clearly informing public-sector buyers.
"The market supplying ICT products and services to the public sector is worth around £14bn and is not working as well as it should," said Rachel Merelie, project lead at the OFT.
Phil Dawson, CEO of Skyscape Cloud Services, said he agreed with much of the OFTs report but lamented the lack of comment or investigation with regards to the G-Cloud programme, which he believes has a clear focus on competition.
His recommendation for change within the public sector was to educate the buyers.
"There is certainly more to be done to educate the public-sector market around the benefits that can be realised with innovative IT services," he said.

Mad Max: Fury Road
Brendan McCarthy is a British artist and designer best known for his work in comic books, film and television.[1][2]
Brendan McCarthy was born in London. As a boy McCarthy soon began drawing his own home-made comics.[citation needed]
After leaving Chelsea Art College in London, where he studied film and Fine Art Painting, McCarthy decided to become a full-time artist. He created the independent comic book Sometime Stories with art college pal Brett Ewins.[3][4] His first paid commercial work was a one-page strip Electrick Hoax in the British weekly music paper Sounds with another art school escapee, writer Peter Milligan in 1978. McCarthy held a solo exhibition of paintings, drawings and collages at Frestonia's Car Breaker Gallery in London, a squat in Ladbroke Grove's Republic of Frestonia.[5]
McCarthy started working for 2000 AD including Judge Dredd and at the same time he was working on designs for his first television show – the unmade Dan Dare live-action television series for Lew Grade's ATV in the late 1970s. It was to have been a stylish retro 50's take on the classic Eagle hero with James Fox as Dan Dare.
Inspired by George Miller's Mad Max 2, McCarthy mulled over a post-apocalyptic surfing story, later written with Peter Milligan and called Freakwave.
In 1983 McCarthy collaborated with Peter Milligan and Brett Ewins on Strange Days, an anthology title published by Eclipse Comics. He also drew a two issue series featuring his alternative media-brat superhero Paradax from Strange Days.
Returning to the pages of 2000 AD, he again drew Judge Dredd, creating the Judda and Brit-Cit Judges. In 1986, McCarthy and Milligan produced Sooner or Later for 2000 AD.
Around this time, McCarthy designed and storyboarded the Arabian cel-animated TV series, New Babylon and also The Storyteller for Jim Henson's company.
McCarthy designed the characters in Grant Morrison's Zenith strip which started in 1987,[6] Doom Patrol (creating Danny The Street) and on Morrison and Mark Millar's Marvel series Skrull Kill Krew.[7] He also produced covers and character designs for Pete Milligan's revamp of Shade, the Changing Man.
Over the next few years he worked for the 2000 AD spin off titles Crisis and Revolver. For Revolver, McCarthy drew Rogan Gosh (later compiled into a single edition by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics). For Crisis, he drew Skin. Both books were created with and written by Peter Milligan. Skin proved to be highly controversial, with Crisis refusing to release the story and their printers refusing to print it due to claims of it being "morbidly obscene".[citation needed] The story was eventually being released by Kevin Eastman's Tundra Publishing in 1992.
McCarthy worked as designer on the films Highlander, the first live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, Lost in Space and The Borrowers. He was also hired by SNL producer Lorne Michaels to write and design visual gags to the film Coneheads.
McCarthy spent much of the remainder of the 1990s working in film and television, most notably as the production designer of the international hit CGI animated science fiction TV series ReBoot and as the character creator for War Planets.
He was then asked to co-write and design Mad Max: Fury Road with director George Miller. Also with Miller, McCarthy created, co-wrote and designed a new CGI animated feature called Fur Brigade.
In 2004 McCarthy hired Steven Cook to help him design Swimini Purpose, an illustrated visual autobiography of his original art and design work. This was released in 2005 in the UK, as a limited artist's edition.[8]
In 2006, McCarthy was featured in the final issue of DC Comics' Solo.[9] His comic had new takes on characters such as The Flash, Batman, and Johnny Sorrow and he considers the single issue to be one of his best works.[citation needed]
In 2009, Brendan was commissioned by Marvel Comics to create a new take on Doctor Strange. The bizarre mini-series, Spider-Man: Fever, appeared in April 2010.[10][11]
Brendan returned to 2000 AD in 2010 on a Judge Dredd story with Al Ewing spoofing the Dr Who TV series, and with whom he would go on to create a popular new story, The Zaucer of Zilk,[12][13] which he has described as a cross between Harry Potter and Aladdin Sane: "A glammatronic phantasmagoria."[14] The series debuted in March 2012. It was rapidly reprinted by IDW in a new format with both issues quickly selling out. The Zaucer of Zilk comic appeared in many 'best of the year' lists.
In 2012, McCarthy traveled to Namibia in Africa, to visit the set of Mad Max: Fury Road, which features his script and designs.[15] He also finished the design and editorial chores for The Best of Milligan & McCarthy, a brand new collection of his most famous comic works co-created with Peter Milligan. Dark Horse released the edition in September 2013 to great acclaim.[citation needed]
A new comics project, The Deleted, described as 'The Matrix meets The Prisoner', was serialised in 'Dark horse Presents' in 2014. It was written with screenwriter Darrin Grimwood.[citation needed]
Currently, Brendan is writing and illustrating the graphic novel Dream Gang for Dark Horse Comics.

Federal budget deficit. We're very concerned about this. They have to take money out of Medicare and, related to that, take it out of the support for state Medicaid. With the economy as it is now … when the federal government reduces funding to the states, we are all going to have to figure out what to do about it.
Generally, we have a robust strategic planning process that dovetails into our budget process. Our budget is accompanied by a five-year forecast. We expanded that forecast to a 10-year one. We're also doing "most likely" and "worst-case" scenario plans for a five- to 10-year period. You really want to try to gauge the scope of these issues and get your arms around them the best you can. If things change, you can make decisions in a timely manner. You can't afford to look in the rearview mirror and say, "I wish I made the decision earlier."
What areas are you analyzing for growth opportunities?
Patient retention. As a system, we know that we are still losing business in our service area. Our greatest revenue growth is fundamentally providing access—especially in service areas where we know people are traveling out of the service area [to be treated]. So for us, it's more a "retention of business" strategy. We want to keep every patient and to have the services close to us.
What do you see happening with payer-provider relationships in 2012?
Collaboration. Commercial payers are really important to us, and we are really important to them. We have a good relationship with our primary payers, and in the coming year I think it will lead to a partnership approach in redesigning incentives for providers within the health plans. We expect to have a very collaborative partnership approach in the next year—I think that's been coming for three or four years now.

Total licensed beds:
What are the key areas you believe will affect your hospital in 2012?
Technology. We're changing over our information technology system. We wanted an integrated platform, and we still needed to meet meaningful use, ICD-10, and get the CPOE [computerized physician order entry] piece in place. It was just as cost-effective for us to replace our entire system as it was to upgrade it.
Value-based purchasing. I think value-based purchasing will have a negative impact on our reimbursements simply because we aren't doing as well on CMS' scores as we had been in the past. We haven't actually lost ground on raw CMS points, but because other systems have improved and our scores have stayed at the same percentage, we have moved down in percentage rankings. Our clinical people are really struggling to get used to the HCAHPS survey and what we need to do in order to get better patient feedback; with Press Ganey, we had been in the 90th percentile.

Awesome guys. Keep at it!
Overgrowth takes place in the savage world of Lugaru where rabbits, wolves and other animals are forced to use paws, claws and medieval weaponry to engage each other in battle. Combining 3rd person adventure platforming with intricate melee combat, Overgrowth achieves a unique feel. Overgrowth also benefits from Wolfire's brand new Phoenix Engine which has been built from the ground up to allow the use of cutting edge graphics, animation, and physics. Add to these exciting features Overgrowth's realistic artificial intelligence and streamlined control system and the result is an astoundingly immersive experience.
David demonstrates some of the subtleties of the weapon physics system in this HD alpha video.
Posted by jeffr on Jan 4th, 2011
Here is the latest in our new weekly Overgrowth alpha format! David himself took some time to illustrate the traditional changelog in video form.
Don't forget that you can help support us, try out our weekly alphas (such as the one in the video), and chat with other preorderers in the Secret Preorder Forum by preordering Overgrowth.
Be sure to watch it in HD!
The features highlighted in the above video are as follows (among some extra ones thrown in for good measure):
- Activated all weapons
- Items have shadows and physics interpolation
- Added Blender weapon animation and attachment posing
- Weapon collision events with sounds pitched based on mass
- Custom convex hulls and centers of mass for weapons
- Expanding convex hulls based on speed to avoid penetration
- Weapons can override character animations
- Fixed plant shader bug
- "No_collision" flag (for collidable plant trunks and non-collidable leaves)
- Custom collision models for objects
Thanks as always for all the support! See you guys in IRC and the forums.
Also, feel free to support us by preordering Overgrowth!
Track us on ModDB (visit our page)
Awesome guys. Keep at it!
Your physx is great but work on that animations because that rabit is still nearly stabing his face with knife
The small weapons doesn't override the animations for the character, but it should be a main priority to have each weapon class to override animations to suit it's attack styles.
Ooh, modularity. That's cool.
im so close to preorderin :P
I am definitely getting there too..
nice, i would preorder right now, but steam got my last money @.@
maybe next month
looked in every corner for money
and see, enough for the preorder.
downloading the alpha now :D
Congratulations, glad to see someone buying instead of just talking.
rape, rapier, rapiest
nice video, once again!
I love ur game!
Waiting for some cash to preorder
Looks good. Can't wait to see these weapons being able to hit characters etc.
(Pulls out sword) Say hello to my little friend.
Awesome video. Overgrowth is definately getting there. I miss the older
style of the videos done in epic voice overs and needless puns and jokes.
I hope you guys start doing that again, it was unique to your project :P.
Weapons models look great. It's also refreshing not to see an AK-47 ( or variations thereof ) for a change.
Very nice update. Don't forget to make to weapons collide with the player.
Nicely nicely:D
Finally. I bought it. Love the alpha and can't wait for Final.
Seriously, some of you really want to buy it on Steam ? That's ****. Buy it from their website with Paypal, like I did. Otherwise, they do not get as much monney with Steam.
And for those who don't know. If used wisely, Paypal can be as safe as Steam.
Great stuff. Very impressive.
I for one appreciate the literal mechanic. It fits with the nature of the game. IE, the 1:1 way of doing things.
But does it add or detract from fun? Thats the question.

GRADE 4- 2013-14 school year
Homework is an integral part of the educational program of the students at Brookvale Elementary School and will be assigned on a regular basis. Parent-supported homework should help students become self-directed self- disciplined and independent learners, thus improving their immediate learning as well as their long-term academic achievement. The staff at Brookvale believes in the development of the whole child and the importance of extracurricular activities, play, and socialization. Homework prepares students for new material, reinforces academic learning, and expands upon classroom instruction. It creates new understanding, building a sense of responsibility in students for their own education, and informs/involves parents and guardians.
I. Timelines and procedures regarding review, correcting and return of homework:
· Students will independently work on assigned homework and be expected to return with the completed assignment/task on the following school day or when due. Teacher will review orally with the class while students self correct or peer correct homework.
II. Frequency of homework:
· Homework will be assigned four times per week on Monday through Thursday.
III. Duration of minutes for homework:
· 4th grade homework will be approximately 30 - 45 minutes per evening or 120 180 minutes per week. This includes independent reading.
IV. Type of homework opportunities:
· Standard based questioning/reasoning and thinking
· Worksheets and study skills
· Project based assignments
· Reading and Math
· Research
