NORTH SMITHFIELD ŌĆō North Smithfield is heading back in the Division IV playoffs, and the Northmen earned their return trip the hard way ŌĆō with a five-game win streak loaded with victories over the divisionŌĆÖs top teams.
The Northmen celebrated their ŌĆśSenior NightŌĆÖ and officially stamped their ticket to the postseason on Friday by putting away the divisionŌĆÖs top scoring team, Central Falls, by a 20-6 score.
Rick Pitino, sage that he is, shared this little anecdote at last monthŌĆÖs Big East media day ŌĆō one that illustrates the waves new Providence College head coach Ed Cooley is making on the recruiting trail.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs already attracting ŌĆ" he beat us out on a player recruiting-wise,ŌĆØ said Pitino point blank, his eyes lighting up as if they were filled with fire. ŌĆ£I would have said, when it got to Providence and us [Louisville], he would have had no shot in getting this player, but Ed got him. So heŌĆÖs already made an impact.ŌĆØ
TheyŌĆÖve spent the past eight weeks working hard and overcoming some tough league opponents for the right to play in a meaningful game on VeteranŌĆÖs Day weekend.
For neighboring schools Tolman, Cumberland, and St. Raphael, that weekend has finally arrived, and the meaningful games that they will participate in will be their quarterfinal-round games of the Division II playoffs.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö ŌĆ£This game is going to be like ŌĆśThe Thrilla In Manila,ŌĆÖŌĆØ La Salle Academy soccer coach Mario Pereira was saying on Tuesday night. ŌĆ£This is going to be a classic ŌĆ" two great teams trying to sort things out ŌĆ" two teams with a lot of skilled players ŌĆ" and kids on both sides who share an incredible passion for the game.ŌĆØ
Pereira was talking about SaturdayŌĆÖs Division I state championship soccer game between his squad and PawtucketŌĆÖs Shea High. It is a heavyweight matchup between a private school and a public school, between the so-called rich kids and the city kids.
KINGSTON ŌĆö For the first time in its long history, Cumberland will play for a state championship.
The Clippers earned a berth in SaturdayŌĆÖs Division II championship match on Wednesday night by surviving a hard-fought 3-1 triumph over a Central Falls team that was determined to spring its second upset victory of the playoffs at URIŌĆÖs Keaney Gymnasium.
Senior standouts Micaela Malboeuf (13 kills, 25 digs) and Michelle Malboeuf (11 kills, 20 digs) had big games for the Clippers, who defeated the Warriors by scored of 25-18, 25-19, 22-25, and 27-25 to advance.
ŌĆ£With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I could have done more.ŌĆØ
ŌĆō Joe Paterno
Who would have thought it would end this way for the legendary Penn State coach of 46 years? Paterno, the man of high moral values, the guy who once vowed not to retire and ŌĆ£leave college football to the Barry Switzers and Jackie SherrillsŌĆØ of his coaching fraternity, had failed the biggest morality test of his life.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō You know that Mount St. Charles-Coventry final that would have been billed as a matchup pitting one unbeaten squad versus another? Apparently Ponaganset didnŌĆÖt get the memo.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö There are strength in numbers for sure on the soccer pitch, to which East Greenwich High will attest.
The Avengers consistently flooded the penalty box area with defenders, forming a protective cocoon that allowed goalie Oscar Goodwin to thrive while simultaneously left Tolman HighŌĆÖs array of skill players singing the blues.
CRANSTON ŌĆö Shea High shook free from a determined Cumberland team on Monday night at Cranston Stadium and advanced to the Division I state finals for the second straight season with a 3-0 victory over the Clippers.
The Raiders, who lost in the 2010 finals to Barrington, will meet top-ranked La Salle in SaturdayŌĆÖs high noon showdown at Rhode Island CollegeŌĆÖs pitch. The two teams tied 2-2 during their only regular season meeting.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö After shaking off some rust in the first game, Cumberland High went into playoff mode and is now just two bigs wins from the school's first-ever state championship.
Fueled by an outstanding night from junior Sam Bertherman and a solid all-around effort from her teammates, the third-seeded Clippers swept by No. 6 seed Tolman, 3-0, in the Division II quarterfinals on Monday at the Wellness Center. Cumberland won with scores of 25-23, 25-4, 25-9.
CRANSTON ŌĆō Form held true in three of the four Division I quarterfinal playoff games contested over the past three days. Top-seeded La Salle, third-seeded Shea and fourth-seeded Barrington all advanced. Only second-seed Central Falls fell by the wayside, beaten 3-2 by seventh-seeded Cumberland on Saturday afternoon.
That sets up unbeaten La Salle versus defending champion Barrington in tonightŌĆÖs 5 p.m. opener at Cranston Stadium followed by Shea and Cumberland at 7 p.m.
Throw out the regular-season records because in Division II, the playoffs beckon.
In a division known for staging ŌĆ£Pre-Thanksgiving MadnessŌĆØ due to an eight-team field, the Div. II playoffs get underway this coming weekend with four quarterfinal-round matchups. For local entries Tolman, St. Raphael and Cumberland, the mission is clear ŌĆō extend the season to Nov. 30, the date set aside for the semifinals.
FOSTER --- St. Raphael Academy is heading back to the Division II playoffs, but in order to earn their berth, the Saints had to survive a royal barnburner on the road with Ponaganset High on Saturday afternoon.
The Saints scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns and turned up the heat defensively in the final 18 minutes of play to bus home with an exciting come-from-behind 29-23 victory that not only clinched their berth, but also snuffed out the ChieftainsŌĆÖ playoff hopes.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Even though goals were hard to come by on Friday night when Tolman hosted Middletown in a Division II playoff game, there was no shortage of exciting action and stunning developments during the 100 minutes of soccer and the dramatic shootout that ended the evening with the Tigers advancing to the D-II semifinals.
Tolman, which saw a hard-earned 1-0 lead disappear in the final minute of regulation, won the game on the basis of shootout goals by Sebastian Estrada and Calvin DeOliveira along with four pressure saves from keeper Adam Ghazal.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Tolman High took care of business in the preliminary round of the Division II playoffs on Thursday night, rolling to a 3-1 victory over Tiverton.
The sixth-seeded Tigers advance to MondayŌĆÖs 6:30 p.m. quarterfinal round matchup at Cumberland. The Clippers, who ruled Division II-North with a 12-2 record, are seeded No. 3 overall in the tournament, behind top seed Exeter/West Greenwich (14-0) and second seed Bay View (13-1).
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Emerson Barros, who had netted only one goal in his first two seasons of playoff action for Shea High, scored four times on Thursday as the Raiders sped past Portsmouth 5-2 in a Division I quarterfinal round match.
ŌĆ£The one person we knew we had to mark, we didnŌĆÖt mark,ŌĆØ Portsmouth coach Mike Stinton said after the match ended. ŌĆ£Their speed is the one thing we couldnŌĆÖt match up with today.ŌĆØ
A not-so-funny thing happened to St. Raphael and Ponaganset on their way to sewing up the Division II-BŌĆÖs final two playoff spots.
The Saints and Chieftains, who were each just one victory away from clinching berths last weekend and taking on two teams with paper-thin hopes of reaching the playoffs, were instead the victims of two mild upset losses.
Last Friday night, the Chieftains (3-3), who were visiting a Pilgrim team (3-3) that got socked in its three losses to Tolman, West Warwick, and SRA, found themselves dropping a 26-12 verdict.
The R.I. Interscholastic League boys soccer playoffs get under way this afternoon with a Division I quarterfinal matching visiting Portsmouth and Shea High at the McKinnon/Alves Complex in Pawtucket.
The game pits two rivals from the hard-fought East, which Shea won with a final record of 11-3-4. Portsmouth, which defeated Shea once and tied the Raiders in their other meeting, took third place in the East with a 10-5-3 record.
The Division II tournament kicks off on Friday with North runnerup Tolman (13-1-2) hosting Middletown (11-4-1 in the South) at 6 p.m. at McKinnon/Alves.
NORTH SMITHFIELD ŌĆö When it gets to the end of the league season and the seedings are essentially assured for the playoff-bound teams, it's all about momentum for the postseason.
That's what neighboring Division II-North rivals North Smithfield and host Lincoln were playing for on Tuesday night at the Northmen's Athletic Field.
After 80 minutes of well-played soccer by both squads, the end result was a more-than-fair scoreless tie.
Dreamers can always dream big. ItŌĆÖs a birthright that canŌĆÖt be stripped away, regardless if this figment of oneŌĆÖs creative tanks comes off as either practical or far-fetched.
How do dreams take flight? Obviously we donŌĆÖt fit the description of a neuroscientist, yet weŌĆÖll let you in on the origin behind this particular thought process.
Go back to last week and the exhibition contest between Providence College and Assumption that was played at Alumni Hall. As the game progressed, the more serious we started lending support to this: What if the Friars played a handful of games on campus?

Thank& Regards,
"Your satisfaction is very important to us. If you find above information helpful or it has resolved your issue. Please don't forget to mark the thread as solved."
Replication configurations are supported with both embedded and Microsoft SQL Server databases. Replication configurations are used for redundancy. Data from one database is replicated (duplicated) on another database. If one database fails, you can still manage and control all clients because the other database contains the client information.
Installing and configuring servers for replication is a two-part process. In an existing installation site, you first install a new Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and database for replication with an existing manager. Second, you log on to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and select and schedule the items to replicate.
When you select the items to replicate, you can choose logs and packages. Packages also include the updates to virus definitions, client components, and client software. The size of packages and updates can grow to several gigabytes of information if you download updates in multiple languages. You must consider the amount of data you replicate when you select these options, along with the bandwidth consumption. One client package is generally 180 MB in size when compressed.
You can install and configure both the embedded database server and Microsoft SQL Server for replication. Replication configuration causes data to be duplicated between databases so that both databases contain the same information, preferably on different database servers on different computers. If one database server crashes, you can continue to manage the entire site by using the information on the database server that did not crash.

2011 in Review
So, I have gone back and forth about writing a year end post and had mostly decided not to because I just didn't have it in me to delve through the year and find links and blah blah blah. And then I stumbled across Sundry's yearly recap and decided that I could totally answer 27 questions about 2011. And that will be a good way to finish out 2011. And it allows me to stay lazy, which is obviously key.
1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
Got knocked up. I promise that won't be the answer to everything. I also bought my first new car all by myself. Okay, so my husband was there, but it was my hard-assery that got us the price we wanted. And I only had to call my dad 800 times for support. Whatever.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Nope and yes. My resolutions last year were to be healthier, which hilariously included more fruits and vegetables and fewer carbohydrates. I would argue that I have actually made some pretty decent headway on my fruit/veggie consumption. I think the fact that I'm not discussing the carbohydrates while I sit next to a virtually empty box of See's Candy can fill in the rest of that for you.
For 2012 my resolution is to try to worry less. Because I can see how being a mother is going to make me a basket case and I'm trying to slow the crazy train down before it reaches the station, so to speak.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
I had a few friends in real life and on the internet, but no family or close friends. 2012 is going to be the year of the babies, I'm pretty sure.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Thankfully no. A great-aunt on my dad's side, who I was fortunate enough to see (for the first time in YEARS) just a few months before she passed away.
5. What countries did you visit?
None. We went to New York twice, New Orleans and I got a trip to San Diego, but no passports were required in 2011. Nor for the next 20 years.
6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
Financial security. ahahahahahahahaha. Because obviously graduating from graduate school and having a baby in one month is likely to bring about exactly that. Check back with me in 20 years when our loan forgiveness has finally come through.
7. What dates from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
August 29th, 2011. The day I woke up and decided to pee on a stick, not because I thought I was pregnant by any means, but because I just wanted to double check. And I was. And I woke my husband up 5 minutes before his alarm to tell him and spent the entire rest of that day floating outside myself, because holy shit, a baby.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Finishing my last semester of classroom learning (EVER) and getting straight As in my last 2 semesters of graduate school.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not being able to spend as much time as I would like with my family.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Ahahahahaha. The headaches persist, I fractured a bone in my hand (which healed beautifully), though I have to say that 2011 required many fewer medical tests and bills than the years preceding it. Even with ultrasounds and OB visits.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My car, my phone (on a cellular network that actually gets service).
12. Where did most of your money go?
Rent, to pay for my air conditioning habits, new car, MRIs.
13. What did you get really excited about?
Feeling my baby kick for the first time. Finding out we're having a son. Tamales.
14. What song will always remind you of 2011?
Fix You by Coldplay or by Mr. Shuster.
15. Compared to this time last year, are you:
– happier or sadder? Unquestionably happier. Absurdly happy.
– thinner or fatter? Waaaaaay fatter. I can only blame the baby for some of it.
– richer or poorer? About the same, though I would argue we're doing better at managing our finances.
16. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Cooking at home, spending time with my husband and family.
17. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Worrying. Dry heaving.
18. How did you spend Christmas?
With my family, freaking out because they baby decided to sit completely still for 24 hours.
19. What was your favorite TV program?
Everything on the Food Network, Modern Family, Up All Night, Glee
20. What were your favorite books of the year?
I read very little in 2011, but I think I got through and enjoyed all of James Patterson's new books.
21. What was your favorite music from this year?
Don't judge me, but I never listen to new stuff, I always listen to music on my iPhone. So pretty much the Glee soundtrack, the Spider-Man Broadway soundtrack and a few others here and there.
22. What were your favorite films of the year?
The final Harry Potter, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and I literally cannot remember seeing any other movies. That's so sad.
23. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
28 (though about 80% of the time, I'm still sure I'm 27) and I played in a softball game (I got an out for the other team and two for mine…) and went out to dinner with my husband and several of the other softball players.
24. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Booze. No, I'm kidding. Aside from better management of the anxiety in my brain, I cannot think of anything that would've made this year more satisfying.
25. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2011?
Couch comfortable. I know what I like, it can usually be found at Gap or Ann Taylor, and leggings and tights are not pants unless your shirt can be confused for a dress. Just saying.
26. What kept you sane?
Zofran, my sister, sleep, good friends.
27. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011.
I think I finally began to see how invaluable worrying is. I haven't managed to eradicate it from my life by any means, but I've really realized that it gets me no where and that staying calm makes almost everything more manageable. I think I realized that I'm a lot stronger than I've given myself credit for. And that my marriage, my family is immeasurably important to me.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Seven Vegetable Couscous with Chunky Onion Harissa
My favorite job of all time was at a Mediterranean restaurant in St. Paul, Minnesota. A newspaper review aptly called it a "sunny North African outpost" and that's exactly what it was. A bright place — both in color and energy — rising up from the Midwestern winter in a cloud of saffron, apricots, lavender, and cilantro. The devilishly charming chef-owner made work an absolute delight for me. We talked about food, wine, and France, he gave me dating advice, and at the end of the night on a weekend, if we weren't dragging ourselves around grumpy and tired, we danced. His food opened up a world of unfamiliar flavors to me — tagines, brik, merguez — and hammered home to my budding tastebuds the art of agrodolce, that delicate marriage of sweet and savory on one plate. Even before I knew the words to say so myself, he taught me that food was about life, and that the act of eating and drinking with your friends is the most bold, celebratory expression there is of being alive.
But he was also a practical man. At the end of the night, he turned to each dishwasher, cook, and server and asked, spoon in hand, "you want shit?" "Shit" was the staff meal, and its preparation was somewhat of a mystery to me (though the result was always delicious), but was basically a mix of leftover vegetables from the night cooked together in a chicken stock and served over saffron-spiked rice or couscous. I usually tried to sneak a spoonful of a sweet-spicy tomato jam or fiery harissa on the sly. For a college girl far from home, it was the closest I came to a home-cooked meal, and it was divine. And then I would climb on top of a counter, count my tips, and eat shit.
This recipe spoke to me not only for nostalgic reasons but for practical ones: With spring not yet totally sprung and winter still threatening behind every blast of air, this is a tenuous time of year. Long thought of as a wardrobe challenge — too damp for wool, too cold light cotton — this pre-spring windup is also a beast to cook for. You want to taste the lightness of fresh spring vegetables to come, but you also want the warmth and comfort of a bowl of something hearty to take the chill of your bones. For this time of year — and truly, for a pantry meal that is bursting with flavors — this is perfect.
Seven Vegetable Couscous with Chunky Onion Harissa
adapted from Bon Appetit
Serves 8
I know the list of ingredients looks daunting, but you can really think of this recipe as a blueprint, to substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand or look best at the store. Just make sure you don't cut down on the volume of vegetables — you want this to be chock-full of fresh flavors.
Another note: I liked the idea of this harissa, but would make changes next time around (not sure about the vinegar or all the onions), maybe seeking out a more traditional harissa recipe to whip up in the food processor or just buying a tube.
for the couscous:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), minced
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 1/4 cups chicken stock or canned broth
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup 1/2-inch cubes peeled butternut squash
1 large yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3/4 cup frozen baby lima beans, thawed
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) couscous
lemon wedges
for the harissa:
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
6 green onions, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
to make the couscous:
Heat oil in heavy large Dutch oven over low heat. Add leeks and garlic. Cover and cook until leeks are very tender but not brown, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add stock and next 8 ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Increase heat and bring mixture to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, peas, cilantro, then couscous. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.
Fluff couscous with fork. Serve with lemon wedges and a spoonful of harissa.
to make the harissa:
Combine tomato paste, crushed red pepper and cayenne pepper in bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Whisk in vinegar. Mix in onions and garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Stir harissa well before using.)

Whitney Thompson mixes it up with a Wasatch player in their first match-up. While the soccer season has not concluded, it's a long shot for the team to make the playoffs.
Region play is winding down on the soccer field. The Carbon girls soccer team played its second to the last regular season game on Tuesday against powerful Wasatch High and lost 4-0.
The Wasps scored three goals in the first half of play. They only managed one in the final minutes as the Carbon defense played some of strongest defense seen this season. The Dino offense had some chances, but just couldn't penetrate the Wasp's line to avoid the shut out. Carbon's most prolific scorer, Felicia Olmos, is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury suffered earlier against Union.
Coach Jerad Upwall was upbeat even after the loss because he sees the steady improvement his team has made over the course of the season.
A few early season matches had the Lady Dinos being blown out by the better teams. So seeing his defense hold a great team like Wasatch to only four goals is a big step.
The Dinos play Park City in their final region match. If they stayed tied with ALA, as they currently are, then a play-off game between the two will decide who goes into the first round of the play-offs. No time, place or date has been determined for the game.

With Harvard faculty members showing unprecedented financial and public support for colleague Elizabeth Warren's campaign for U.S. Senate, Harvard's staff members have also begun to make their choice in the competitive race between the Law School professor and incumbent Senator Scott Brown. Working in the traditionally liberal bastion of Cambridge, many Harvard staff interviewed for this article—ranging from dining hall workers to security guards—say they stand behind Warren.
Blondell Newbon, a card checker in Adams dining hall, ranks the economy and jobs as her top priority this fall.
In the aftermath of the economic meltdown, "we're still working from paycheck to paycheck," she said. "We're going to have to do something."
For Newbon, that means voting for Warren—or "Elizabeth," as Newbon calls her.
"I came from a poor background and raised my son alone," said Newbon, who finds Warren's middle class upbringing appealing.
According to Newbon, Massachusetts needs Warren's level-headed approach to politics and strong advocacy for middle-class concerns for the next six years.
"Warren has proven herself," Emeka F. Onyeagoro, a door checker at Lamont Library, said. "She's just as capable as Brown in representing the people of Massachusetts."
He listed her extensive experience as a consumer protection advocate as a reason to vote for her.
According to Onyeagoro, Warren's Harvard affiliation "has no bearing whatsoever" on his decision.
"I traditionally vote Democratic," Onyeagoro said simply.
Others echoed Onyeagoro in referencing loyalty to the Democratic Party as the main reason to vote for Warren.
"She's a Democrat, and I'm a Democrat," said Jorge P. Teixeira, the Adams House building manager.
He said he has paid attention to Warren's work with the middle class and the way that she presents herself on the news.
A security guard, who wished to remain unnamed since Securitas policy discourages employees from speaking to the media, noted that although he remains undecided about the presidential race, he has recently begun to lean towards Scott Brown, despite Warren's connection to Harvard.
When he met Scott Brown on the campaign trail last year, he was immediately struck by Brown's charisma.
"He's a more outgoing and personable person," he said, comparing Brown's easy manner to Warren's somewhat stiffer persona.
"When someone makes themselves immediately and directly available to the people, that means the world to me. They're at your level, part of the team," he said.
Brown's background in the military also "scores a lot of points with me," he said.

Warren Campaign Raises $8.67 Million, Sets New Race HighHarvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren's Senate campaign raised $8.67 million in the second quarter of 2012, blowing past her first quarter total and setting a new high-water mark for quarterly fundraising in Massachusetts' race for U.S. Senate, her campaign announced Monday.
Elizabeth Warren's Harvard Ties Pay OffIn an unprecedented show of support, Harvard employees have combined to donate more than $227,000 to Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren's campaign for the Massachusetts's junior U.S. Senate seat since last September, helping to make their colleague the best-financed congressional candidate in the country.

I am an expert skier and purchased these poles because I am now a "groomer" and "fair weather" skier, due to two severe spine injuries sustained while skiing. I wanted something lightweight, yet durable. Rossignol is second-to-none when it comes to using durable materials, while still making a cheap product. I have been using these poles for weeks now and I enjoy the flex, yet stiffness they provide on groomers, while remaining super light weight for small jumps and boxes in the park. I feel like they aren't even in my hands. The only con I have is that the grips are a little too large for my hands. But hey, you can't make grips to fit everyone! Nice job Rossi.

I bought these poles along with my new skis. I chose these because they were the absolute cheapest (and after all, poles are poles).Second day skiing, one of the poles bends (I don't even remember hitting it or anything). The great guys at EVO customer service send me an additional set of poles - so at that point I had 3 proper poles. ~20 ski days later all 3 of those poles are bent in some way or another. One isn't that bad and the other I managed to straighten up by hitting against a tree for a while. So those are the ones I still use. The other two are bent beyond repair.Soon (probably for next season) I will just fork over more money but get something that doesn't bend so easily.

Comments about Rossignol PMC Ski Poles 2012:
I break / loose poles all the time, so cheap lightweight(ish) ones like this are perfect for me. Let's face it, they are just basically a pair of sticks at the end of the day - no need to get too technical...

Great Poles at a Great Price
By Shan the skiier

Poles are great quality. We ski a lot of icy slopes and they took a pounding with no bending. They are very strong for such light poles.
Great poles for a good price!

Honestly this is a great pair of ski poles and I really don't know why anyone would go with any other deal than this. It blows my mind how expensive some are but these were very affordable.

Great poles for the price, they do what they are intended for.
By Cindy-bee

Really, there's not much to say about poles.. These seem fine to me, although they are NOT as sexy as the ones which got stolen (sob).... those were slimmer and a little lighter and probably tougher too. But these poles do the job just fine too. There isn't much "performance" in a pole except putting it down in the snow and making a turn.
Great Pole for Price Point
By MikeC
from Maine
Great deal, bought for my wife and she is very happy
Best for people with bigger hands!
By Laura
from Tampa, FL
These are beautiful poles and I used them every day, but I have small hands - a ladies size small glove fits me perfectly. The design of the handle (the grip is fatter in the middle than on the top or bottom) on these poles prevents me from wrapping my fingers around it for a good grip. At the end of a long ski day, the heel of my hand is always a bit sore from this "ridge." Simplicity would have been a better design here.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good looking poles but very much budegt polkes. I purchased 2 sets and 3 of the poles were bent after 3 ski days.
Lightweight, but strong

Only knock...straps are basic. However, at this price, these poles are perfect.
Solid poles

I like these poles overall. I wear mittens and I found it a bit tough to find a good grip at times. Highly recommended because of the performance paired with a fantastic price.

These piles work for all conditions/ ability levels. There cheap in price but not in quality. If your skiing a moderate amount of times yearly these poles will work for you Not fancy but they get the job done

Purchased the poles for my daughter. She is a beginner, and they are still straight, and holding up. Can't beat the price for the pole.
Solid pole for the price

Basic poles that do the trick. You're not getting super high performance, but the price is right.
Great Price Great Poles
By Josh from Boston
Bought these on sale and I can truly say they are a great pole .. dont scratch easily and lightweight. Great pole for the price
They Get The Job Done
By I Like To Ski
from Southern California
What can I say? It's a pretty basic ski pole. Nothing flashy or fancy about the pole, but it gets the job done just fine. I bought these primarily because they were super affordable. I have been pretty unlucky with ski poles in the past, averaging one broken pair per season. For that reason, I am simply not willing to spend the money for a fancy, expensive pair. If you're looking for a simple ski pole that will carry out all of the basic functions of a ski pole with aplomb, then look no further.
great ski poles!
By jc
from sacramento, ca
lightweight ski poles which are durable!
perfect price
By samtheskier
from lancaster, pa
Love the bend in the pole (ski rentals don't normally have these types of poles) color is good and goes with anything. The handle grip is fantastic, I wish the straps were velcroe but hey to each their own. They seem pretty durable. They were awesome for the price I paid, couldn't have asked for a better deal.
Definitely worth the money
By Chris
There isn't much to say about these poles, they perform their function as they should for all normal ski conditions. At one point I fell, landing on the pole and bending it. However, it was easily bent back to nearly-straight using a tree nearby. For the price, these are well worth purchasing.
Inexpensive and do the job
By Ryan
from New England
I used these to ski with my kids as they're learning...given inexpensive cost never felt bad about leaving them at the bottom of the hill when I needed to have hands free to help the little ones. For me they seem to do the job and have no concerns
Received as specified

What can I say, "they're poles". Good value, toned-down graphics with no attitude.

very lightweight duragle ski poles. would recommend!
Simple design, great performers!
By JD

This is just your basic, good looking, functional ski pole, that's priced right and performs great! At least if you use it like you're supposed to.
great ski pole for price

great ski pole for the price. nice flex and light weight
Does the job
By Alex

Works as intended. Hard to compain too much about a pole.Basket is smallish for deep powder, maybe.. but we dont get much of that in the East anyway.
Good buy
By TOMCAT
from Dover Foxcroft, ME
Great pole at the discounted price. At the discount can't find a cheaper pole and this one is better quality than most in the same price range.

[E3 Rumors]Uncharted "Looks Incredible", MS Got Big Third Party Title
The rumor mill for E3 2014 is in full swing, and Thuway is back with some juicy new leaks. Apparently, Microsoft secured another big third party exclusive this year, after Dead Rising 3 from Capcom, Ryse from Crytek and the upcoming Sunset Overdrive from Insomniac.
@epcastellanos @PNF4LYFE There could be more stuff to show, but the whispers in the corner all indicate MS has secure one big 3rd prty title
— Ahsan Rasheed (@thuway) May 22, 2014
For Sony fans, he mentioned that Uncharted looks just incredible, "stupidly good". We should get the first gameplay trailer at the very least, after the brief announcement teaser from last year; he couldn't get any information of any possible cuts after the departure of Amy Hennig, though.
@epcastellanos @PNF4LYFE Finally Uncharted looks amazing, incredible, stupidly good. No details on what was cut from Todd/Amy's departure.
— Ahsan Rasheed (@thuway) May 22, 2014
Overall, he expects two "bombshells" by Microsoft and one by Sony during their conferences.
@PNF4LYFE I expect two bombshells at MS's conference, and one at Sony's. Atleast that's what I'm hearing on the exclusive's end.

For those wondering, Archer as Future Guy was always the idea.Trying to repair a corrupt future by influencing his innocent past self.
Go home Brannon Braga, you're drunk.
And specific highlights on what Season 5 could have brought
Coto wanted to revisit the Mirror Universe on a regular basis with four or five episodes spread through the season as a "mini-series within a series." Mike Sussman and Coto had discussed places to go with it and it was "big regret" not getting chance
The two main things they wanted to do with S5 was the "origins of the Federation" and the "begin whispers of the Romulan War", and tying those two together
No other major villains were planned to be introduced, the Romulans were going to be the big villain, but would have new ones within new 'mini-arcs'
Rick and Brannon thought Future Guy was "probably going to be a Romulan" and would tie into the Romulan War with a future Romulan trying to "instigate" things
They wanted to make Shran a regular character on the bridge of the NX-01 as an "auxiliary or an advisor…get Jeffrey [Combs] Somehow"
Obviously kept his indentity somewhat fluid then, and considered more than one option. Or simply heard some fan's deduction somewhere and with nothing ever committed to screen, thought it as cool an answer as any to say onstage.
It couldn't have been Archer, because a) he would have to have ended his days in the 29th Century... which I believe is the time worked out by Daniels in "Cold Front", as being where the Suliban's mysterious benefactor was from.
b) why would he be giving cloaking technology to an enemy intent on destroying Enterprise all the time anyway? To say nothing of Silik and his kind's genetic enhancements.
I've heard this theory before, but given what they established after "Broken Bow", I think you can safely rule Archer out.

The Putnam Valley basketball program began in 2002, so it has been privy to neighboring Peekskill's run of dominance in Section 1 and beyond.
That's why Wednesday meant so much to the Tigers, who pumped fists and exchanged high-fives as if this cold January night was actually March at a pulsating County Center.
In Putnam Valley's 12th season of varsity existence, the Class B contender finished strong to beat Peekskill for the first time, 58-54. Senior Zach Coleman had 21 points and classmate Jelani Bell-Isaac had 10 points and 14 rebounds. ...

On February 29,2012, Microsoft released the first Windows 8 preview from Barcelona, Spain. Microsoft's President of Windows, Steven Sinofsky, claims that its about incorporating touch screen along with a keyboard and mouse. Microsoft fixed minor problems of Windows 7 and added "Metro", its new tile-based desktop. For those who prefer the traditional desktop that is still accessible. Windows 8 is predicted to just "come naturally to people," according to Sinofsky. Windows 8 is expected to be released some time this year.
In my opinion, I think the Windows 8 preview is extremely similar to the setup of a Mac. It's redesigned to be more user-friendly, just as a Mac is, and how to use the operating system is suppose to flow naturally to the user.

I'm lame. It's taken me a month to post these images — but better late than never, right? A month ago, Tamar and Jennifer, two friends of Mike's, came into town from Los Angeles. I took some photos and promised to put them up somewhere. So here they are. :) It's going to be sad to leave Noe Valley, but I think it's the right decision. In an ironic twist, for some reason, too much comfort makes me a bit uncomfortable. Make sense? :) [see some photos]

A paraglider was in critical condition after apparently crashing in an area above Keokea Park on Maui Saturday afternoon.
The paraglider was reported missing in the Waipoli area.
Maui fire rescue personnel located him at the 4,000 elevation above the park shortly after 2 p.m. and airlifted him to a nearby landing zone. The paraglider was then transported by Maui Medevac to Maui Memorial Center.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
This week Gwinnett Medical Center implemented a new hiring policy that prohibits employees from smoking, not just at work, but anywhere, ever.I'm usually against any public entity trying to legislate behavior of any kind unless that behavior causes harm to others. In this case, the hospital sort of has a point, but I'm not sure its case is so strong as to let it start dictating behavior. The hospital is in the health business. Promoting good health by example, on its face, should be an admirable policy. "This is a matter of practicing what you preach," the hospital's vice president of human resources, Steve Nadeau, told the Daily Post. I understand that. Health care professionals' messages are more likely to be heard when delivered by healthy people. I don't like having my temperature taken by nurses who are obviously not quite over the flu. I don't want to be preached to about my weight from a guy who shops at the same big-and-tall store I do. And when someone listens to my heart, the last thing I want to smell on them is smoke. Cigarette smoke also does not meet my do-no-harm-to-others requirement. The dangers of second-hand smoke are well-documented. Then there is the right of the hospital to hire the right person for the job. Coughing, hacking lung-cancer-patients-to-be may not be the best people to work in a place that offers respiratory therapy. And I'm not sure what the guidelines for such prohibitions are, but I assume there is at least some legal grounds. Workplaces can demand that employees not use drugs, after all. And now we get to the "but." But — drugs are illegal anyway. Smoking is not. Smoking is unpopular. It's unhealthy. It may be irresponsible. But it's not illegal, and neither is drinking, having unprotected sex, eating lard right out of the bucket or any number of unhealthy or dangerous activities. And that's why I'm not on the hospital's side on this one. Its goal may be noble, but where does the crusade end? I don't know to what extent this might go, but the next logical step would be obesity, of course. Will the hospital join clothing stores in making sure every employee is height-weight proportionate? Will employees' diets be monitored? What about exercise? After all, how can you treat someone's clogged arteries when your own are filled with grease and cheese? The answer is you still can. It might not be the best situation, it may not look good, but a doctor carrying an extra 30 pounds still has a brain and a medical degree and can still dispense advice and prescribe treatments and medications. And so can one who smokes. The difference is that so many people are overweight nowadays that the social stigma of obesity has faded somewhat, while so few people smoke and its stigma is such that it's easy to attack the ones who still do. I admire the hospital for trying to lead by example and trying to promote healthy living. Banning smoking on its property is smart and logical. But infringing on its employees' rights to engage in legal activities is stepping beyond its bounds. E-mail Nate McCullough at firstname.lastname@example.com. His column appears on Fridays.

Forty gigs...me babbles senselessly...1.2 gig, 4 gig, 8.4 gig...me wants bigger hdd. I think that I have hard drive envy !I just finished installing my BRAND NEW 40Gb. hard drive, and topped that off by installing LibraNet 2.0 on it.
I did a "preliminary" install of Libra 2.0 on friday, and I found that I couldn't log on as Dean Moriarity here at LJR, because the user "Does not exist". *Well, I re-registered as R_.P_. McMurphy, and proceeded to rant about schizophrenia, in a non-PC manner (for which I apologize).
Now that I've got a full final install of LibraNet, I thought I'd give logging in another shot- no dice, I still didn't exist. *Hmmmm.... how about R_.P_. Mcmurphy? *Nope, he's outa here too!! *WTF????....... *AHA, how about creedon? *YES!!!! HE LIVES, but LJR thinks he's Dean Moriarity, but that's OK, I'M BAAAAAAACK!!!!
BTW, the LibraNet install went slicker'n deer guts on a doorknob......REAL pretty.....REAL fast, and (so far) EVERYTHING works!!!!! *GREAT SUNDAY!!!!!!!! * *;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Congrats on getting Libranet installed. As for the creedon issue...that's weird. Proof positive that you should stick with one handle! ;D

Experimental: HLA treatment
This is a single arm prospective longitudinal clinical trial investigating the feasibility of a hyaluronic acid (HLA) vaginal gel (HyaloGYN®; Cebert Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Birmingham, Alabama) to improve estrogen deprivation vaginal health symptoms in post-menopausal women with a history of hormone-receptor positive cancer with estrogen deprivation symptoms of vaginal dryness and discomfort.
Other: HLA vaginal gel (HyaloGYN®),
Each participant will receive a HLA vaginal gel (HyaloGYN®), which is an over-the-counter, colorless gel to be administered as a vaginal gel for hydration and lubrication of the vaginal epithelium for women suffering dryness. Participants will be instructed to insert the HLA gel into the vagina (with applicator) daily for the first 2 weeks, and then 3 times per week for 10 weeks.Participants will also be asked to keep a moisturizer diary. In it they will record the date and time the gel is used. The initial PhD/NP visit and subsequent NP visits, including completion of the Clinical Assessment Form and the pelvic exam performed by the NP are all part of the standard treatment plan that all patients receive at the Female Sexual Medicine Program. PhD follow-up visits can be based upon the treatment plan of the patient and is not always necessary within the specified study time points.Behavioral: questionnaires
Assessment Form as part of routine clinical care. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at the baseline initial evaluation, 4-6 weeks, 12-14 weeks, and 22-24 weeks. The study information collected will be found in the standardized Clinical Assessment Form that patients complete as part of routine clinical care, along with an additional survey pertinent to the aims of the study. At 24 weeks, participants will complete an additional questionnaire that will ask questions regarding their experience with HyaloGYN® and their acceptability of and satisfaction with the product. Study participants must see the NP for the targeted exams at the study follow-up time points (4-6 weeks, 12-14 weeks, 22-24 weeks). PhD follow-up visits can be based upon the treatment plan of the patient. The study questionnaires (Appendix II-Follow-Up and Appendix IV) and moisturizer diaries (Appendix III) will be completed and collected during the NP follow-up appointments.

Several juvenile males have been arrested in connection with an investigation into allegations of multiple cases of sex assault involving students at the Hawaii School for the Deaf and the Blind.
The investigation by the Honolulu Police Department's Sex Assault Detail involves multiple juvenile suspects and victims, said HPD spokeswoman Michelle Yu.
"Several juvenile males have been arrested" at various times going back several months, Yu said. It's not clear if other arrests are expected, or if suspects include adults.
The school is part of the Hawaii Center for the Deaf and the Blind and operates under the auspices of the state Department of Education

Internet Explorer 11 is Microsoft's latest player in the browser market, with the new version now available on both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.
Of course, Microsoft uses every single occasion to talk big about this browser, so it now says that IE11 manages to make 40 percent of the web a lot more secure.
While such a statement would make some people laugh, Redmond says that it's all possible because IE11 is the first browser that doesn't rely so much on old ciphersuites, such as RC4. In addition, it comes with TLS 1.2 by default, which is said to be one of the most secure standards available at this point.
"The changes in IE11 increase security while still ensuring compatibility with the Web, in spite of the current widespread use of the RC4 cipher suite. IE11 does not offer RC4-based cipher suites during the initial TLS/SSL handshake. In this way, most connections successfully use non-RC4 cipher suites," Microsoft explained.
The company then goes on to explain that it analyzed no less than 5 million Internet settings to determine that 96 percent of them also support other chippers than RC4. That's where IE11 comes into play.
"Notably, nearly 39% of these sites support non-RC4 even though they prefer RC4 – and for these, sites, IE11 substantially increases the security of the Web," Microsoft explained.
"For the rare cases where the browser cannot negotiate a non-RC4 cipher suite with the server, IE11 falls back to negotiating TLS 1.0 or SSL 3.0 with RC4 to ensure that you can still reach the sites you need. Microsoft is actively working with many of these sites to enable support for non-RC4 cipher suites."
Internet Explorer 11 is currently the default browser in Windows 8.1 and available as an optional download for Windows 7 users.
If you're already running Windows 7, go ahead and download Internet Explorer 11 and check out our in-depth review of the recently-launched browser.

A catchy tune, exotic harmonies and lilting rhythmic grooves will carry you across the horizon into the mystical realm of genies, wizards and sorcery. So turn that frown upside down, pick up a mallet or two and let this one cast a spell on you. You never know when you'll run into a marimba-xylo-bongophone!!


text: The 2012 Audi A7 appeals to the kind of driver who wants a car with several personalities, and bold ones at that. Based on the Audi A6 sedan and first launched in 2010 at the Paris Motor Show, the 2012 Audi A7 melds the sloped roofline styling of a coupe with the space, and practicality of a four-door sedan, plus the convenience of a hatchback fifth door, all-wheel-drive, and the comfort, technology, entertainment, and safety features that come with a luxury car. Put all these elements together and the A7 is car that is fun to drive, fun to be driven in, and is easy on the eyes.

Question Asked:
I have an automatic transmission and within the last few days when I get into the car and start it up and try to put the car into reverse it doesn't work. I have to depress the brake a few times or have popped open that little door on the shift area and unlocked it. Why is this happening? By the way, it happens more if the engine is cold like first thing in the morning or at the end of the work day. If you shut it off and start it up again within a short period of time it shifts out of park. I don't get it!

I am a professor of Statistics at both Université Paris Dauphine, Paris, France, and University of Warwick, Coventry, United Kingdom, with a definitely unhealthy but so far not fatal) fascination for mountains and (easy) climbing, in particular for Scotland in Winter, an almost-daily run, and a reading list mainly centred at fantasy books… Plus an addiction to bloggin since 2008! Hence the categories on this blog (or 'og, because 'log and b'og did not sound good). The Statistics posts does mainly focus on computational and Bayesian topics, on papers or preprints I find of interest (or worth criticising), and on the (not so) occasional trip abroad to a research centre or to a conference.
Needless to say (?), this blog is not approved by, supported by, or in any other way affiliated with the Université Paris Dauphine, CREST-INSEE, Universitty of warwick, or any other organization, and it only reflects my opinions. This is also one of the reasons why it is posted on wordpress rather than on my University webpage, another one being that wordpress provides an handy (if sometimes slow) tool for editing blogs…

ASD / VSDAn atrialseptal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of your heart. The condition is present from birth (congenital). Smaller atrialseptal defects may close on their own during infancy or early childhood.
Surgical TreatmentDuring traditional heart valve surgery, a surgeon will make an incision down the center of your breastbone to get direct access to your heart. The surgeon then repairs or replaces your abnormal heart valve or valves. Non Surgical Valve Replacement The Non Surgical valve replacement procedure uses a bovine peri-cardial heart valve that is compressed into a balloon as small as a pencil, threaded from a major vein in the leg into the circulatory system, and is deployed across the pulmonary valve.

Altrusans from around the state recently attended a regional gathering in Sedalia. Six members from Altrusa International of Greater Kansas City as well as two members of the newly formed Altrusa Club of Lee's Summit attended the event entitled "Healthy Altrusans are Happy Altrusans" sponsored by Altrusa International of Sedalia.
Representing Altrusa International of Greater Kansas City were Marne Close and Shannon Johnston from Kansas City; Carla Evans-Solano of Lee's Summit; Barbara Britt of Excelsior Springs; Mary Rix of Overland Park, Kan.; and Jenny Troutman of Prairie Village, Kan. From the newly formed Lee's Summit group attending were Kristen King-Spero and Carolyn Kreissler both of Lee's Summit. Barbara Britt along with Penny Daugherty of Mexico, and Ronda Blakley of Moberly, gave a presentation on what's involved in keeping your club healthy utilizing a power point presentation, handouts and an interactive discussion format.
Keynote speaker, Jennifer Yazell talked about "Living a Positive Life." Yazell is founder and CEO of Golden Egg Communications. She challenged Altrusans to change their mindsets, the way they think about things. She accurately described Altrusans as doers but reminded everyone that if they wanted to get different results that it would become necessary to change how they think. To quote, "How you see yourself (thinking) affects what you do. What you do affects what you get!"
The formal part of the meeting closed with a presentation by JoAnn Martin of Sedalia who addressed the birth of Healthy U, a community initiative specifically designed to build a healthy community. A number of Altrusans have been in on the groundwork of this initiative to improve their community. This is in keeping with the association's new tag line of Altrusa International: Leading to a Better Community.
Altrusa International is an international association of civic-minded women and men who volunteer their energies and expertise in projects dedicated to community betterment. Nearly 10,000 Altrusans worldwide are proud of their community commitment to enhance the lives of those in their local and global communities. Since their inception in 1917, Altrusa clubs and members have provided over 1 million collective volunteer hours in their communities. Altrusa clubs serve in over 360 communities in 10 countries. Altrusa espouses volunteerism, service and fights for literacy and against HIV/AIDS. The nonprofit Foundation assists projects emphasizing literacy. Altrusa International is based in Chicago, Ill.
Inspired by Thoreau, Altrusan Mamie L. Bass, first national president of Altrusa, put it best: "It is not enough to be good; Altrusans must be good for something." In addition to increasing our repertoire of service across the country and world, Altrusa Clubs have launched extensive membership efforts to welcome interested citizens to join us in our campaign for change. Our members are drawn from all cultures, from all age groups, and from all economic standings, with a common thread of wanting to give back. For more information about Altrusa, contact Club President, Jeanean Sieving at email@example.com. –Submitted.

It's official, January is over and spring is one full month closer! I'm am sooo ready for longer days and warmer weather. It's time to get some vitamin D already.
With spring comes the everyone's favorite pastel-hued holiday, Easter! And no matter what age your kids are, Sophias Style is the place to start (and finish) all your Easter dress shopping.
|Baby Easter Dresses
Our newest obsession at Sophias Style are these oh-so-classic puff sleeve baby Easter dresses in pretty pastel shades of pink, blue, yellow, purple and my personal fav, green! I've said it before and I'll say it again, 2013 is all about shades of green. You can't go wrong with this color.
|Toddler Easter Dresses
When it comes to toddler Easter dresses, this lacy pink number by Biscotti is our number one. Biscotti is a pretty well-known designer label, so you can bet that this style will be a big hit where ever you decide to spend Easter Sunday. We're loving the multi-tonal lace and the sweet little satin bow.
|Girls Easter Dresses
This bright, sassy halter style girls Easter dress comes in newborn sizes all the way up to 6x. I think it's perfect for your fashion-forward little girl. The fuchsia-aqua color is vibrant and the ruffle around the neckline is too cute for words. You can pick up a little girls cardigan to layer on and make this the perfect style for Easter church service, then take it off when she's ready to play at grandma's house!
Remember, when you're shopping for little girls Easter dresses at Sophias Style, you can always get assistance from one of our fabulous mommy-stylists by clicking the Live Chat button! We're always happy to help you shop.

Tubergen, 16, said she became involved in the program because she's always had an interest in cooking. She likes the renovated space because it helps prepare her for cooking in a restaurant's kitchen.
"It's really cool to come in here," she said.
Joe Carmolli, a culinary and pastry arts instructor for the Careerline Tech Center, said the renovations are part of a two-year process.
The project broke ground in May 2013. Most of the construction happened this past summer, and the space was ready to move into in October.
The center's previous culinary kitchen was designed and geared toward being a production kitchen. Carmolli said the program used to operate a restaurant, but the program has since removed that component.
The new facility includes a combination steam/convection oven, two broiler ovens, a new fryer and a tiered demonstration lab area. There are also six work areas with gas burners, flat-top griddles, oven, gas grill and work tables with sinks.
"It's designed so everyone can be hands-on," Carmolli said.
In addition to learning about nutrition and food handling procedures, students also become ServSafe certified and practice math lessons related to preparing meals.
Two to three times each week, students have math warm-up problems to get them thinking about cost management.

What: This month, you'll be able to peruse Target's new shoe and hat collections. Both will be available for a limited time, from April 18 to June 20. Cynthia Vincent's line of shoes include colorful and bulky sandals, wedges and flats, while Eugenia Kim offers up straw and fedora hats, almost of all of them "summer picnic" ready. And since it's Target, the footwear costs just $24.99 to $29.99; the headgear, $14.99 to $19.99.
What They Say:
With big names like Anna Sui, Proenza Schouler, Anna Sheffield and Alexander McQueen leading the way, creating a collection for Target has become somewhat of a fashion right of passage. And we're just fine with that.
What We Say: We're happy to hear Target's got our feet and heads covered for summer, and without forcing us to spend a fortune. We're also pretty impressed with the first leaked photos and we have more photos from the line coming in an upcoming post on TBF. Like, love… hate?
