NEW YORK, Ny. -- Investors are hoping the recent surge in the stock market continues today.
There was a setback on Friday as technology stocks slumped.
Despite the market's broad advance, a growing list of poor tech results is raising concerns about the strength of the economy and the stock market.
Microsoft led the decline on Friday. Google also fell.
Intel and eBay reported weak results last week as well, and chipmaker Advanced Micro reported a second-quarter loss.
Even as tech stocks fell Friday, the S&P 500 index managed to eke out a gain of 2 ½ points, or 0.2 percent, reaching an all-time high of 1,692.
The Dow closed down five points, or 0.03 percent, to 15,543.
The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite fell 23 1/2 points, or 0.7 percent. The index was the only major market benchmark to end the week lower, falling 0.4 percent.

I am new on here and hoping to get some advice and help!!
I have had lower left back pain for about 6 yrs, about a year ago I started getting some pain in my left leg...I had been given many different types of pain meds and have had about 4 MRI's, all the Doctors said they couldn't see anything on the MRI that would cause the pain, so they kept giving me narc's and after about 6 yrs of taking the meds I started abusing them and became addicted to opiates,I put myself in Intensive Outpatient Treatment twice and looking at my family history I found out that I have inherited the addictive gene, I told my Doctor about my abuse but he kept on giving me Narc's. I'm not blaming anyone else, I know it's my fault because I'm the one who chose to continue to take the med's and to abuse them, plus my body had built up such a tolorance to the narc's that I was takeing a dose that would kill most people, just to control the pain. By this time I had also had six L3-4 nerve root blocks, and several trips to a Chiropractor and still no relief, the epidurals were lasting 2-3 weeks at most. Finally I went outside of our rural town of 6,000 people to Lincoln Nebraska to see a neurosurgeon and request a new MRI and an answer as to why I am having this extreme lower back and left leg pain, they did the MRI and he said he couldn't see anything... He suggested that I see a Neuropsychologist, I told him "I am not crazy" and I made him look at the MRI with me, I told him that there is something wrong with the area around L3 to L5, so he looked and looked and didn't see anything.... And then he finaly looked at it from the bottom up, and THEN he finaly found it!!! The disc at (I think) L3-4 had what he called "A laderal bulge" on the left side and it was pressing on the L4 nerve root, and that's what was causing all of the pain. So my Doctor scheduled my for a "Left Laderal Microdiscectomy", where they went in from the left side of my spine and carved the "Bulge" away. The first two weeks I still had pain from the surgery site, then that healed up and I was pain free for about two weeks and then the pain started coming back and radiating down the left side of my left leg, and it was WORSE than I had ever had before surgery. It so happened that at also during this time we were packing to move to KCK, and I was probably over doing it by lifting things, which I agree with but it had to be done. So after talking to my Surgeon he told me that the pain was from all of the packing, lifting, driving and moving, so he increased my pain med's which I was NOT comfortable with given my history of addiction, but like him, I didn't know what else to do except just lay down for a few weeks, but that was impossible. Now three months later the pain has gotton a hole lot worse and I am still taking pain med's, I have a new pain Doctor and he has now done three injections and each one has lasted about eight days and then the pain starts coming back, so last week I met with a new "Back Surgeon" and I like him very much, I explained my entire history including the addiction and the prior surgery and all of the injections, he looked at my post-surgery MRI and said " that doing another Discectomy would not help" he also said that "the first surgery should not have been done Laparoscopicoly, it should have been done straight on with a normal incsion, by doing it the way it was done, it messed with the Ganglion nerve, and the nerve is VERY pissed off" SO THIS IS MY QUESTION!!!!! And i'm sorry it took so long to get to it, but I needed to get my history out there first. Now, my new Surgeon has told me that I have two options.. #1 is that I continue on the way I am, and see if it heals up, mean while I am maxed out on the Injections that I can have for the next twelve months. Or option #2 is that they open up my back, from the back side and remove the disc and fuse my L4-5 vertebrea, this means that I spend four days in the hospital, and the next 8 weeks not driving or doing much of anything, which will be hard for me because I can't sit still. He also said that there is a 65-70% chance that the pain won't come back, but that also means that there is a 30% chance that the surgery won't help much at all..... SO I am asking for anyone that has experienced this to please give me some feedback, I don't know what I should do... The surgery seems very invasive and a very long recovery, up to a year they say..

This year, I'm thinking of switching from a mummy style back (Western Mountaineering Summerlite) to a quilt, such as the Katabatic Gear Alsek http://katabaticgear.com/shop/alsek-sleeping-bag/or a Z-packs hoodless baghttp://zpacks.com/quilts/sleepingbag.shtmlSuch bags, would of course, require a hood of some sort.Right now, I'm looking at upgrading my upper body layering system for 3-season backpacking by integrating a down jacket. The Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer is at the top of my list. Looks like it comes in around 7 oz. Got good reviews here:http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Down-Jacket-Reviews/Mountain-Hardwear-Ghost-Whisperer-Down-JacketThe question is: Do I want the version with a hood or hoodless? Would a hoodless jacket be more versatile? I would end up having a buy a down balaclava of some sort, such as the one GooseFeet makes for Zpacks:http://zpacks.com/accessories/gooosehood.shtmlThis one weighs in at 1.3 oz. The thing, it's going to look a bit funky and be mismatched to the jacket. This is in part an aesthetics vs. function issue here, I suppose.
Ive got a goosefeet hood.It actually weighs 1.6 oz, not the claimed weight.That said, Ive never used the down hood yet.Down to mid 20s, I wear my fleece hoody, over a fleece beanie, and havent needed it.My jacket is a montbell ex light down, 5.9oz. Same thing. Fleece hoody and fleece beanie work great with it too.
I have a Sawatch and Palisade, with an EX-Light hoodless jacket. I use a wool Buff at night.Pros:-Better to hike in.-Pull it over your eyes to shield yourself from bright moonlightCons:-Not as warm for the weight-Doesn't cover your neck entirely.

Down hood for me. I like being able to wear my hood without having to wear my jacket, or mess with folding it up, and trying to keep the hood on my head.
Man, I say go with a hooded parka over a down jacket/sweater for quilt use. I've tried the hoodless jacket setup with a beanie/balaclava and it never seals up as well as having a true parka. I don't understand how having a hood attached to your jacket in any way makes it less versatile. Additional weight with a parka is usually only 1-3oz for the added hood, over the non-hooded equivalent jacket. In the end it all comes down to preference and making whatever you have work for you. Nothing wrong with aesthetics over pure functionality- you can strike a balance I believe.
I was hood-adverse for years and insisted on wearing a separate hat instead. Now all my cold- and cool-weather jackets are hooded. Nothing seals up better around your neck, cheeks and ears than a hood, and it's unlikely that you'll ever need a warm hood or hat without the jacket. It is just easier to deal with, and more convenient to have an attached hood, which lets you regulate body temps quickly and without hassle.A lightweight merino beanie covers instances when you won't wear your jacket but want some head warmth just fine without overheating.
> I've tried the hoodless jacket setup with a beanie/balaclava > and it never seals up as well as having a true parka.The ZPacks down balaclava and collar on the Stoic Down Cardigan seals up perfectly. YMMV. I bet the Ex Light would as well.> I don't understand how having a hood attached to your > jacket in any way makes it less versatile. When sleeping, it's not as bulletproof when trying to use your hood without wearing your jacket. I've tried a few different strategies, and the hood doesn't stay on very well - when sleeping, it falls off, twists on my face, etc. A royal pain, IMO.> it's unlikely that you'll ever need a warm hood or hat > without the jacketIf you use a quilt or a hoodless bag, this happens all the time.Also, you can't match your head insulation to the temperatures at night. For example, if you have a 20 degree quilt, but are dealing with 40 degree temperatures, you can't just leave your down balaclava at home - it's attached to your jacket. And now you have to take a lighter fleece hat as well, because the down hood of your jacket is too warm, and no hat at all is too cold. Now you're paying, in weight, for two pieces of head insulation - the hood on your jacket AND a hat.The downside to using a separate hood, is that it is one more piece to manage. However, I found I rarely need a down hood - it usually stays in the bottom of my ZPacks sleeping bag until I go to bed. If I do use one, it usually goes on once and stays on.The real problem, I found, is that when it comes down to it, the hood on your jacket is the right amount of insulation for only a percentage of the trips you'll go on. It's not so much the weight saved, but getting the right amount of head insulation without being too warm on the torso.

+1 on the ZPacks/Goosefeet down balaclava sealing well. 2 advantages of hood-less jackets + down balaclava: the hood is likely to get dirty faster and can be washed separately; if you want to wear the jacket without the hood, you can get a better seal at the neck with a (well-fitting) hood-less jacket than with a hooded jacket with the hood down.
I have a Sawatch and a Chisos along with the lighter Katabatic hood. I also have a hooded Golite Bitteroot as well as a FF Hyperion vest.I much prefer the hood attached to my jacket when worn as a jacket, but in the bag I don't like wearing the jacket/vest to bed. Instead I find it warmer and more comfortable to just drape the jacket/vest over me inside the bag. By doing this however, it renders the attached hood useless for my head.I have found that a thin balaclava combined with the seperate hood to be fine down to well below freezing and more comfortable than sleeping in a hooded jacket.I also must admit that I have taken both the hooded jacket and the seperate hood and used them together when it's been particularly cold and windy but have yet to sleep in the jacket. For the additional 1.6 oz or so, I am fine with the detached hood even when I bring the warmer hooded jacket.
I use a hoodless jacket and a Black Rock down beanie, this system is light,versatile and has performed great for me. If neck and face protection is needed I add a wool buff.
David, It seems to me the perfect solution for your needs is to have GooseFeet gear make you a custom down jacket with a snap-on or zip-on hood. That way the aesthetics are somewhat matching and you have the versatility to only wear one or the other or both. you could still wear your hood while sleeping without have to burn up wearing the jacket+quilt..--J.G.--
How heavy is the Katabatic hood? I'm not sure on the exact amount of down in the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer, but I would guess that the Katabatic one (or the GooseFeet / ZPacks iteration) has more down. Since the jacket with the hood doesn't have an adjustable drawcord, I'm guessing it might fall off during the night. I guess I'll just have to test it to see.It might simply come down to which jacket I find on sale. :)
Here is a review.
David, i have a new with tags Ghost whisperer for sale in gear swap.. size large in capri blue. $190 shipped.
I need a size medium, but thanks.
Oh, one thing you can do to have your hood handy is to stuff it in the pocket of your jacket. This works well with the Stoic Hadron because it has a large kangaroo pocket. Though it does give the beer belly effect.

> Also, you can't match your head insulation to the temperatures at night. For example, if you have a 20 degree quilt, but are dealing with 40 degree temperatures, you can't just leave your down balaclava at home - it's attached to your jacket.I would suggest then, that you are carrying too heavy of a quilt, since you should plan to use it in combination with your jacket. While a jacket has a less efficient warmth/weight ratio than a warmer bag, it is more useful to have than no jacket and a warmer quilt because you can wear it in the evenings and mornings when it is cold.
You make no sense.In 20 degree weather, I bring a jacket, a ZPacks bag and a down balaclava. In 40 degree weather I bring a jacket, a ZPacks bag and a fleece hat.If my hood was attached to my jacket, I'm still bringing my jacket either way, but the jacket hood will be too warm (since it has to be warm enough for 20 degrees). So now I'm bringing a jacket with a hood AND a fleece hat.Trying to use your hood without wearing your jacket is uncomfortable and difficult (the hood moves/twists/fights you throughout the night). If you're going out for a few nights, some which are cold, some which are warmer, you might need to use your jacket with your quilt one night, but it might be too warm another night.I've used a quilt with a hooded down jacket for 3 years. It sometimes works, but sometimes it doesn't work very well. I sold my hooded down jacket and now use a separate jacket and hat or balaclava and I'm more comfortable overall, and often pack less weight. YMMV. On a side note, I've also found that using a down jacket inside a sleeping bag can often lead to breathability problems. Probably due to the 4 layers of nylon. I found I had to fuss a lot more trying to get the right temperature - you'll get there eventually, but it's a bigger hassle. I'll do it if the temperature drops unexpectedly, but I am much more comfortable adding an ounce or two of down into my sleeping bag to make it work for the lowest typical temperatures, as opposed to relying on my jacket most of the time to boost my bag.

Jacket plus hood: leaks at the neck.Hooded jacket: warm neck.Cheers
I have three quilts, 30F, 40F, 50+F and one 15F sleeping bag. I have a MB Alpine light down parka and a hooded ghost whisperer, as well as a slew of other mid layer options. It's essential to have different combos that you can use depending on the weather, especially if you start your hike at 4000ft and get up to 12000ft and camp anywhere in between. I've never thought about using a down hood, if its that cold I'm usually bringing a down hooded jacket anyway. If I had a hood-less down jacket and didn't want to buy another I would probably buy a down hood for quilt use in sub 20F situations.

Sebastian Mikael Caught Up in Forbidden Love Affair in 'Last Night' Video with Wale
R&B newbie Sebastian Mikael releases his new video for the seductive ballad 'Last Night,' which features a rap cameo from Wale.
R&B newbie Sebastian Mikael releases his new video for the seductive ballad 'Last Night,' which features a rap cameo from Wale.
Wale celebrates the gluteus maximus in his new video for 'Clappers' featuring Nicki Minaj and Juicy J. Directed by Benny Boom, the clip boasts more booty than a strip club on a Friday night.
Tiara Thomas' feature on Wale's single, 'Bad,' provided a boost to her career. The singer's business with the rapper didn't last long though, as she decided to instead sign under Interscope through songwriter Rico Love's Division1 imprint -- Wale allegedly left Interscope after his 'Attention Deficit' debut didn't perform up to expectations. The songstress stopped by Hot 97 to talk with Laura Stylez about the situation.
Sean Kingston returns with another perfect summer jam, and this time, he taps D.C.'s Wale for an assist.
Happy birthday, President Obama! What better to celebrate Barack Obama's born day (Aug. 4, 1961) than to honor him with a top 10 list of rap songs that mention his name...
Fresh face singer, Sebastian Mikael is giving his fans a behind the scenes look at his new video for 'Last Night' featuring Wale.
Rapper Juicy J gets real trippy in his new video for 'Bounce It' featuring Wale and Trey Songz. In the Benny Boom-directed clip, the trio get suited and booted to get that cash.
Wale's original 'Bad' track was an incredible hit, with Tiara Thomas singing the unforgettable chorus. You take her out of the equation due to a misunderstanding and replace her with the sexiest singer in the game, Rihanna, then you undoubtedly have a huge hit on your hands...

float to double conversion

there's this annoying little conversion problem that is getting in my way.
I was under the impression that a widening conversion from a float to a double primitive (which happens implicitly without a cast) would conserve the original value completely. This however doesn't seem to be the case. Here's an example:
float f = 3.02f; System.out.println("float = " + f); double d1 = f; System.out.println("double via implicit conversion = " + d1); double d2 = Double.parseDouble(Float.toString(f)); System.out.println("double via String = " + d2);
The result is:
float = 3.02 double via direct conversion = 3.0199999809265137 double via String = 3.02
The problem is that when I explicitly want to store the value 3.02 in a float and it gets converted to a double, this double variable does not contain exactly what was in the float.
One thought is that double is not able to hold the 3.02 value exactly, but this is disproven by the 5th and 6th line of code where the conversion is done via a
object (how resource-wasting can you get
). Via this method the double does contain the value originally intended.
Another idea is that the original float variable didn't really contain the 3.02 but rather an approximation, and that this approximation shows up as a real intended value when the conversion to double happens.
Net result is that I have an intended value in the form of a float and I can only get this value exactly in a double by doing the conversion via a String object which is incredibly resource wasting... Apparently the widening conversion between float and double isn't as preserving as I thought.
Am I missing something here? Suggestions welcome.

I don't think this problem is just because of the conversion. By their natures, float and double are both imprecise representation for numbers. This is inherent in both of them. Usually it isn't much of a problem, but occassionaly when you manipulate floats or doubles, you get this kind of behavior.
To avoid these issues, I rarely ever use float. If I need decimal places, I almost always use double since it provides a larger precision. However, in some cases, it actually make sense to use int or long because these are exact. For example, if you are writing a financial calculator, you can use an int to store monetary values in pennies (assuming a U.S. locale). You just have to make sure to format it into the expected dollars and cents when you output it for the user.
I hope this helps.

float f=3.2f;
double d=f;
d==f returns true, so they're actually the same number.
seems like you've got a problem at hand. and yeah, even wrapping is unable to preserve the values. must have got something to with the interna; representation.
let me see the JLS
ok, here it is
"Conversions widening from float to double in strictfp expressions also preserve the numeric value exactly; however, such conversions that are not strictfp may lose information about the overall magnitude of the converted value."
there lies the answer, make it strictfp!
easy to say, but ive tried out the possibilities, doesn't seem to work though. try try try

Since d == f is true, it seems that the internal representations of both variables are still behaving as expected. However, you might argue that the f is implicitly converted to a double and you're actually checking equality between two doubles.
My guess is that the difference shows up in the code that displays the value of a variable as a numeric value. When showing a float, this code probably figures out that 3.02 was meant (as its the closest possible value in all possible floats). When showing a double this code finds the even closer value of 3.0199999809265137 (not present in the 'world of float') and shows it.
If this hunch is correct then this entire situation might be as close to correct as possible on the machine level, but might introduce an intuitive 'gotcha'.
If this is a correct assumption then there's no real problem with using widening conversion in
between float and double, but it does imply to remember that what you see is not necessarily what you've got (just very close to it).
Am I correct?

d == f is only true because to do the comparison, the float must be converted to a double. Since the value of d is itself already just f converted to a double, you would expect them to be the same. That doesn't mean that f and d both have exactly the same value: they don't.
In any case, there are two rules you must always follow when using any floating point numbers:
1) Never compare for exact equality.
2) Never display an unformatted number.
All those extra digits are irrelevant. The number you're looking at is the closest binary rational number to the real number 3.2 using 32 or 64 bits; that's the best the (IEEE standard) hardware can do, and that's what Java does. If you want the value rounded to the nearest 1/10, then you should use
and format it that way.

A special thank you to Charles Wilson for sharing his Writing Desk project in this edition of SysNotes. While Charles has a rather innovative use of the Domino as a locking mechanism in his desks, the tools he used most during the construction were the Festool 1400 EQ Router and MFS Multi-Routing Template System.
We are including links to Charles' complete commentary about the project as well as an appendix he prepared about the use of the MFS system as more detailed references about the project. This is certainly an example of how Festool power tools can be used for fine woodworking.
"This project is based upon a writing desk originally designed by Thomas Jefferson, on which he is reputed to have written the Declaration of Independence. There is an article written for Fine Woodworking that covers it in reasonable detail (requires membership to view). I started constructing it from walnut that was left over after finishing a Media Cabinet that I built. I decided to use solid wood, and arrange the grain so that it wouldn't suffer damage from seasonal humidity changes. In 50 years or so, we will see if I succeeded or not.
When the front board is opened, the writing surface is revealed. I made a pencil tray insert for the drawer (with a hidden recess underneath for concealing diamonds and other treasures). I made this piece as a gift for a friend, so I don't have pictures of it with the protective writing surface and drawer pull.
This project is entitled 'The Evolution of a Writing Desk' because there is now a second generation design intended to address some weaknesses of the initial design. This item is intended to be traveled with, and the drawer should have some sort of latching mechanism. I wasn't completely satisfied with having a crease in the covering used as a writing surface. And, though walnut is beautiful, I wondered how the desk would look in other woods.
Generation one went from outside to inside, with the case being constructed first, followed by the drawer being constructed to fit inside the opening. Generation two began with the drawer being constructed first. I had decided to make six units, two of each species (oak, cherry and walnut).
Drawer front bottom and back were joined with box joints with grain going from front to back of drawer. Drawer sides were sliding dovetails, again with grain going from front to back. The box joints and sliding dovetails were glued. Wood thickness was a little less than 3/8 inch.
The drawer sides were also dovetailed at the ends, but not glued to front and back pieces. A drawer face was glued onto the front of the drawer.
A slightly modified domino on the side of the drawer, with a notch cut on the lip of the bottom will provide the latching action. The spring is just a length of wood screwed into the side.The circular button, made with a plug cutter, pushes the end of the domino back into the slot to allow the drawer to open. A keyhole router bit is used to make the channel for the plunger.
Below are the components of the 6 drawers. The case into which the drawer slips had all of its grain lengthwise, and the sides fit inside rabbets in the top and bottom pieces. The grain of the closed end of the case is horizontal, and it floats in dados between the two sides of the case. A small rabbet is made into the top of the open end of the case to stop the travel of the drawer into the case. The writing surfaces were cut to uniform size, as were the spacers."

Pitch Your Tent: New Camping Book
It was going to be one of those "quick" projects. But it really wasn't! But today, after weeks of work, I finally was able to order a proof copy. Whew!
This new book (available mid-September 2013) has 101 camping recipes that have been featured on TheOutdoorPrincess.com the Pitch Your Tent Newsletter and some that have never been published before. Book will retail for $14.95 and be available through Amazon.com, Createspace.com, and BarnesAndNoble.com.
(When the book is published, I'll make those active links to purchase the book!)
It's fully indexed for quicker searching too!
Let me tell you how much of a PITA (Pain In The A$$) creating an index is! After reviewing a ton of other cookbooks, I realized that a real index is a must. Did you know that a lot of cookbooks don't index by ingredient? Just an alphabetical list of recipes…

Dillon Francis – Bootleg Fireworks (The Rebirth)
The moombahton king Dillon Francis has done it again with his second "rebirth" remix, which in Dillon's language has basically means he remixed one of his moombahton songs at 142 bpm double time, in trap format. His first rebirth trap remix for "Masta Blasta" was incredible, and this one for "Bootleg Fireworks" is no different. Dillon seems to be the only moombahton producer today that has made trap remixes like so, allowing DJ's to throw in his tracks in both trap and moombahton sets which makes his work more accessible in each of the rising genres.

From its main stage complete with lights, to the greenroom where artists get ready before their show, the Harvester Performance Center is up and ready for an audience of hundreds.
"Oh my goodness it's a dream come true for many people here. The town has got behind this and made this a premier spot," said Assistant General Manager Sheila Silverstein.
Facility managers say the venue will help with economic development in the Rocky Mount area. On Thursday night the Indigo Girls played to a nearly sold out house of 550 seats.
"This room is so cool. The vibe is cool. That's what artist love. They love when they can be this close in an intimate setting," said Silverstein.
Downstairs below the main-stage are meeting rooms and kitchen space available for rent. And just around the corner another performance space.
And if the seating wasn't comfortable enough the venue offers lounge style sofas, that create an at home feeling.
"That's what we want you to feel. We want you to feel really comfortable here. Walk in, easy to get in, easy to find your seat. It's all general admission," said Silverstein.
With shows booked as far ahead as November, the new venue is sure to have a little something for everybody.

Mike Newman has for some time owned, lost and challenged various world speed records as a blind man. This past October, Mike could be found flying 26 loop the loops with 'The Blades' RAF aerobatic team!
Silverline owner Drew Langdon and Mike Newman
As the Speed Of Sight team builds up to our blind water speed record attempt, Mike is going to do some test runs with Drew Langdon, a renowned world offshore powerboat racer. One of these will take place tomorrow in Torquay at 14.00.
After all, with the Paralympics in full flow right now, the concept of handicapped access to sport is at the forefront of the public's mind and it's not every day you get to see a blind man drive a 2200 BHP of racing powerboat.
The current blind water speed record is 99mph set by Silverline, a 42ft Fountain Offshore powerboat with an 18ltr 1500Hp engine and a Kevlar hull.

All the exercise mentioned will help but I find it's a lot more constructive time spent riding my MTN bike. It works your core and builds the leg strength and it's 100x more fun than working out. And yeah there are MTB trails in texas.

Road biking targets your core a little more so then mountain biking I think because you are bent over. It really depends on how aggressive you ride, the more aggressive you are the more you use your entire body. I know if I'm powering up a hill climb I'm targeting a lot of upper-body muscles.
Honestly though, biking in any form is great exercise and is actually FUN. Can't bring myself to do repetitions or go to a gym when I can go have fun and get the same effect.

I have a pull up bar in the park near my house. Whenever I go past I do some pull ups (different variations).
For the core muscles I hang from the bar and raise pull my knees up to my chest then with that locked in position I rotate backwards so hanging upside down in a ball (a bit like your in the middle of a backflip). I then go back to a hanging with the arms and repeat that as much as I feel. For the back core muscles I hang down from the same bar and raise my legs behind me as high as I can, as if trying to touch my back with my feet. Basically like a method air without the board on but it still works the back and core if you repeat.
Squats and air chair (pretending you are sitting with no chair) work the legs and build up the muscles you need there.
The park overlooks the forest so I never feel bored listening to birds and enjoying the view.
As others said no substitute for actual snowboarding but it helps.
I just enjoy outdoor activities and being in shape all year round. Just fun to get the blood pumping and the muscles working.

Yoga is one the best things I've ever done for myself. I don't practice once a week like I used to, but it will fix knots and kinks in your body that aren't actual tears. For those of you who think it's "gay", yea well maybe. There are a lot of hot girls wearing those tights and it fixes your body. Worth it. Renato Sobral, one of the greatest MMA submission grapplers to fight practices several times a week.
Most general strength and condition programs can be modified to make it much easier to do line after line (snowboarding, c'mon guys - working out won't make you better at railing coke) without breaking. I took my strength/muscle mass regiment and simply dropped some of the weight and upped the reps just a little bit and I feel great out there. Awesome stuff.

I found a great solution!!!
I was at the gym tonight and I found a great solution for what I'm looking for! One poster said if it's hard for you to get up on your snowboard then you're simply out of shape. I disagree. Last year was my first time snowboarding and at that time I was riding my mountain bike 50 miles/week - so reasonably in shape.
However, when you ride your bike your knees don't typically bend more than 90 degrees so you don't work some of the muscles that you would normally work if you bent your knees more. You can do leg presses and this helps a bit. However, the element of balance is key. For example, you can bench press a lot more on rails than you can free form because the rails manage the balance for you. Likewise, getting up on your snowboard is a more complex motion than typical gym exercises.
I came up with a great solution at the gym tonight. If you've ever used a FreeMotion machine before you know great it is for targeting different muscle groups, especially the FreeMotion Dual Cable Cross: FreeMotion Dual Cable Cross
So I've created 2 exercises: 1 for getting up toeside and 1 for getting up heelside. Get one of the mats to make the ground softer and put it at the base of the machine.
Do this exercise facing the machine. Find a good weight level that will provide a good amount of resistance for letting you gracefully decline to the ground on your rear. Then use your leg strength and leverage the negative resistance of the machine to help you get up. Adjust the weight as needed and reduce weight as you get better at this exercise.
Do this exercise facing away from the machine. This helps replicate the gravity of getting up toeside facing down a hill. Put a padded bar through the handles of the machine and put the bar under your arms. From a standing position use the negative resistance to slowly lower yourself to your knees on the ground. Then try to get up from your knees by rolling back from your toes onto your feet. Use your leg strength and leverage the negative resistance of the machine to help you get up. Adjust the weight as needed and reduce weight as you get better at this exercise.
Most people simply don't use this full range of motion/balance on a daily basis so this is a great training exercise. I did these exercises tonight and my legs felt almost *exactly* like they did after my first snowboard experience last year. My legs were like "WTF just happened?!" and I was waddling around like an 80 year old lady. I'm surprised I haven't read anyone recommend these exercises because they do mimic the actual motions very closely.
I plan to keep doing these exercises as much as possible when I go to the gym and I believe when I go snowboarding at the end of the year I'll be able to easily and consistently get up on my snowboard from heelside and toeside....

When Charles Dumais first arrived in the Newtown school district in January 2008, he was the fifth principal to take the helm at Newtown High School in four years.
"There were kids that were graduating that year for whom I was the fifth principal," said Mr Dumais, while reflecting on his last six years spent at NHS.
Mr Dumais was chosen to be the new superintendent in Amity Regional School District #5 and is set to assume his new responsibilities on March 1.
On February 11, the Newtown Board of Education unanimously selected former Ridgefield High School principal Jeffrey Jaslow to be interim principal at NHS, effective February 19. As Interim Superintendent of Schools John Reed announced after Mr Dumais accepted his new position for the Amity Regional School District #5, it is anticipated that that a permanent high school principal will be selected prior to July 1.
After announcing his new position, Mr Dumais told The Bee in January he was leaving a great school and situation for another great school system and situation.
Newtown, he said recently, has great staff, students, and families. When he first arrived, Mr Dumais said the high school had all the starting blocks and needed only someone to say, "Let's go."
The biggest change he thinks he made was trying to stay ahead of the teacher evaluation process. Many of the things — like unannounced observations and observations for every teacher — happening with the state teacher evaluation process now, Mr Dumais said, are things that NHS instituted before they were part of that plan.
"So I think that we did a good job of supporting the good work of teachers and creating an organization that was committed to learning, and not just to students but for students, teachers, administrators, everybody," said Mr Dumais.
Mr Dumais said his goal has always been to "say yes" when students and teachers present "amazing" ideas and concepts. The student-run Community Conversation, underwritten by the William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund, in March 2012 was the first Community Conversation to be run by students, and an example Mr Dumais used to explain how he encourages endeavors.
Another effort in the last six years Mr Dumais said "has really taken off" was a focus on instruction, which he credited to former superintendent Janet Robinson, who also began her time in Newtown in January 2008.
Other changes during the last six years included the NHS expansion project, the growth of the Newtown International Center for Education, and what Mr Dumais explained as a focus on communication.
When the NHS expansion project broke ground on May 28, 2009, Mr Dumais was one in a line of people who shoveled the first scoops of dirt to the mark the start of the project. At the time he said, "All the different people at all the different stages have come together to put one huge project together."
Once the work began, Mr Dumais said he took responsibility for the building project. He had formerly taken responsibility for a building project in Westport when he was an assistant principal there. A table was set up in his office while the NHS expansion project was under way with maps, figures, and timelines detailing all aspects of the project.
Mr Dumais estimated there have been roughly 5,500 posts to the high school blog since it was started during the 2008-09 school year. While Mr Dumais said he has not written each post to the blog since then, he has been the one to post each announcement. The blog was part of a focus on communication, Mr Dumais explained, and was meant to "share the successes of kids here at school."
Since the blog was formed with Mr Dumais's name and account, the blog will not be continuing when Mr Dumais leaves the school district. Instead he said assistant to the principal Nathalie de Brantes and teacher Eugene Hall will be overseeing a transition and running a Facebook and Twitter account for the high school.
Mr Dumais said that transition is expected to be complete in the coming weeks.
By 2009 a sister-school relationship was forming with a school in Liaocheng, China, thanks to efforts made by NHS teacher Martha Parvis and then assistant principal Jason Hiruo. Since then the program has expanded into the Newtown International Center for Education (NICE).
Mr Dumais said he is proud the high school has developed an environment where administrators can hone their skills, noting both Mr Hiruo and former assistant principal Scott Clayton have become principals in the last couple years.
His role at NHS has been to apply consistent and persistent pressure in the right areas, Mr Dumais said, to bring about the changes that have happened at the school.
Little things, he said, like standing out front to greet people to the school in the morning, make a difference. It demonstrates for students that somebody at the school cares about them, said Mr Dumais, adding that practice is one aspect of the school safety solution.
One thing outside of the school district that he has been proud of is his contributions to his profession, he said. His work with the Connecticut Association of Schools (CAS) helped develop an emergency response team for administrators following the events of 12/14 at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"All these organizations have an emergency response team," he said. "We were able, through CAS, to develop one for administrators. So if a tragedy were to happen a team of experienced principals would show up at your door."
The past year at NHS, Mr Dumais said, has shown evidence of the momentum that the high school has developed. Mr Dumais said the school earned two significant recognitions, placement on the AP District Honor Roll released by the College Board for Advanced Placement testing scores and recognition from the Connecticut Department of Education as an excelling school, in the last year.
"Those two things in a very complicated year for Newtown, at a time when we actually chose to take the [Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT)], kids just excelled," Mr Dumais said. "It speaks a lot to the commitment of the staff and the motivation and drive of the students."
Looking back, Mr Dumais said his job would have been hard without his assistant, Ms de Brantes.
"Without a great assistant it would be really hard to do a good job," said Mr Dumais.
In turn, Ms de Brantes said, "One amazing thing [Mr Dumais] did was creating relationships."
She said students feel comfortable with Mr Dumais, share ideas with him, "And look for him, meet with him, and truly respect him."
Mr Dumais used the word "amazing" to describe the students at NHS.
"When I use the word 'amazing' when talking about the kids here, I mean truly amazing," he said. "The things that they do, they continue to surprise me with their achievements, their efforts, their motivation, just how much, honestly, that they care about each other."
The last year, Mr Dumais continued, "Would have been a far more difficult year if we didn't have the best kids ever."

How to define clamp avoidance manually in CAM Software
During intelligent hole making and 2-1/2 axis milling operations, clamp avoidance is performed automatically. During 3 axis, QuickMilling and 5 axis milling operations, if containment Type is set to "None", no clamp avoidance will be performed. If set to "Auto", clamp avoidance will be performed automatically.
If set to "User-Defined" you need to define those clamps to be avoided. Here is the basic procedure:
Your clamps should be components in your CAM Software assembly and their CAM class attributes should be set to "clamp." This should be the case for all tool path operations.
Add a surface or solid CAM feature of type "containment" to each clamp component that you wish to avoid.
Select the Feature Mgr button on this form to display the Features in Containment Form .
From the "In Plan" list, select the CAM features you created in Step 2 and add them to the "In Opdef" list.
Because of your selection in Step 4, the "Type" field the Containment Definition Form is automatically set to "User Defined."
The clamps associated with the features will then be avoided by the active tool path.

COVENTRY – The Rhode Island Breast Cancer Coalition, a statewide organization with national ties, is challenging medical researchers: End breast cancer by 2020.
Women at the forefront of the movement including Coventry resident Marlene McCarthy – who co-founded the RIBCC nearly 20 years ago and still heads it and who is a board member of the powerful National Breast Cancer Coalition – say awareness is no longer the issue.
That milestone has been achieved. What's needed now, says McCarthy "is to make strident efforts to change from awareness to [presenting] the facts of the disease; to educate people that billions are spent on research – money that goes for treatments but not prevention.
"There is no understanding of a cure."
Moreover, she notes, failures in research are rarely, if ever, published in professional journals, making it possible for someone else to start spending funds on testing that's already been proven useless.
One of the reasons finding a cure has dragged on so long, she believes, is that researchers from disparate institutions have been reluctant to work together and share information.
Over the past two decades, the RIBCC has raised up a tireless army of advocates who have lobbied the State House and the U.S. Congress, assailing them with these facts: One in every eight American women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime; every three minutes in this country a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 die each year.
At this minute, approximately three million women in the United States are living with breast cancer, more than 28,000 of them in Rhode Island.
Advocates have demanded that steps be taken, research funded and laws passed, and they've had great success.

They had it all — pitching, hitting, and teamwork — but in the end it still wasn't enough to take the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School softball team to the state final.
But they did make it all the way to the final four — something that head coach Brian Staubly is proud of.
"They had the best team chemistry I've seen since I got here," said the fifth-year coach, who prior to Douglas had also coached at Broward College. "They worked hard, and you need all that to get to where we got, especially in Florida because there's so many good teams throughout the state."
Douglas won the Class 8A district tournament, then the regional...

1. Roll Call
PRESENT: Hanna, Heying, McLaughlin, Mead, Pnacek, Senesac, and Stewart
ABSENT: Tanzini and Young
OTHERS PRESENT: Brad Kaye, Director of Planning and Community Development, Jeff Burdick, Community Development Planner and six (6) others.
2. Approval of Minutes
Roger Mead stated that he would like to see the sentence at the bottom of page 2 of the draft March 26, 2013 minutes beginning with "This demonstrates that the procedural by-laws….." be omitted, as it reads as an editorial.
Moved by Pnacek and seconded by Heying to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of March 12, 2013 and the minutes of the special meeting of March 26, 2013 as amended.
Motion passed unanimously.
3. Public Hearings
a. Site Plan No. 316 – initiated by Three Rivers Corporation on behalf of Mid Michigan Health for site plan review and approval of a 20 bed addition at Stratford Village, located at 2121 Rockwell Drive.
Brad Kaye provided an overview of the case. He noted that a residential care facility is a conditional use within the RB District; however, Stratford Village is an existing use, so the proposed addition is only subject to site plan review and approval. He stated that the proposal consists of two building additions, a small bank of parking and enhancement of the stormwater detention on the site. He also stated that site plan criteria have been met per staff review. If the Planning Commission recommends approval during this meeting, it should do so with the following contingencies:
- Final stormwater design detail shall be provided to the satisfaction of the City Engineering Department
- Water service to the satisfaction of the City Engineering and Utility Departments shall be provided and appropriate utility easements conveyed to the City of Midland.
- A final soil and sedimentation control plan shall be submitted to the City Building Department.
Kaye informed the Commission that no public comments have been received to date. He stated that if the Planning Commission acts on this case tonight, it would appear before City Council on April 29, 2013.
Commissioner Stewart inquired as to the reasoning behind the expansion of the stormwater detention on the site. Kaye replied that the expansion serves as an enhancement of the site's current stormwater management system and to address increased runoff from the building additions. Commissioner Heying visited the site and noticed that many vehicles were parked along the road connecting the site to Independence Village to the north. He asked if this connector drive is wide enough to accommodate both parking and fire access. Kaye replied that he did not notice parking along this drive during his visit to the site and that this wasn't considered during staff's site plan review. The connector drive provides secondary access to Stratford Village. He also noted that there is future work being planned for Independence Village and the status of this connector drive could also be reviewed at that time.
Kristin Riddle, an architect with the Three Rivers Corporation, presented on behalf of the petitioner. She noted that the north addition will serve to expand the short term rehab facilities and to provide gym and rehab space. Ten new beds will be added to this wing. The south addition will serve to add ten new beds to the section of the facility that serves residents with dementia. Riddle stated that the proposed elevations will tie in with the existing façade of the facility. She noted that the proposed 15 additional parking spaces located on the south end of the site would create a total of 91on-site parking spaces, meeting zoning ordinance standards. This new parking would mostly accommodate staff and overflow parking needs.
Commissioner Pnacek asked about the approximate distance of the easternmost new parking space to the driveway entrance off of Rockwell Drive. Riddle stated that the distance is at least 30 feet. Pnacek also inquired if there is a speed limit posted on site. Riddle replied that there was not. Pnacek expressed safety concerns related to vehicles backing out of these parking spaces into two-way traffic and in near proximity to the site's main entrance. Riddle replied that this is a valid concern and would be considered. Commissioner Senesac stated that if there were 9 additional parking spaces, an additional barrier-free parking space would be required for the site. He noted that, because Stratford Village serves seniors and individuals with mobility issues, it would be beneficial to add an additional barrier-free parking space. Riddle replied that she has not been informed that additional barrier-free sites are needed and would have to defer to representatives with Mid Michigan Health regarding this issue. Brian Buckingham, Chief Financial Officer for Mid Michigan Home Care stated that, by practice, generally spots closest to the entrance of facilities are reserved as barrier-free. He has not heard any concerns by patrons or residents that additional barrier-free spaces are needed, but this may be addressed when the parking lot is resurfaced.
No comments were provided in support or against the proposal and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Pnacek stated that he is comfortable with the site plan and sees no reason not to vote on this tonight. Commissioner Hanna expressed concern regarding the connector drive between Stratford Village and Independence Village and its ability to accommodate emergency vehicular access if cars are parked in this location. Kaye stated that the Commission could add a condition that all fire lanes be appropriately signed or that parking along this connecting road be prohibited.
A motion was made by Heying to waiver the procedural requirements for a second meeting. The motion was seconded by Hanna and approved unanimously.
Motion by Senesac and seconded by Heying to recommend to City Council the approval of Site Plan No. 316 initiated by Three Rivers Corporation on behalf of Mid Michigan Health for site plan review and approval of a 20 bed addition at Stratford Village, located at 2121 Rockwell Drive with the following contingencies:
1. Final stormwater design detail shall be provided to the satisfaction of the City Engineering Department.
2. Water service to the satisfaction of the City Engineering and Utility Departments shall be provided and appropriate utility easements conveyed to the City of Midland.
3. A final soil and sedimentation control plan shall be submitted to the City Building Department.
4. That all required parking lanes on the property be appropriately signed and parking thereon be prohibited to the satisfaction of the City Fire Department.

Vote Evans for School Board on October 11
|With 20 out of 20 precincts reporting Susan Evans has won the District 8 seat 52.10% to 47.81%, 7,100 votes to 6,516
My name is Susan Evans. I am running for the District 8 seat on the Board of Education because I believe it's time to start putting students first again. The current Board majority has been ineffective and deeply polarizing. Our students have been waiting for better resources and expanded course offerings while the board has been playing politics. It's time to put aside politics and find a sensible and fiscally responsible student assignment plan so that we can move on with the business of educating our children.
I believe in the public school system. I believe in making decisions based on facts and after truly listening to community input. I believe District 8 is a great community that deserves better representation on the Board. I want to be your representative on the Board because I believe I can lead with integrity and build consensus that includes all parties.
|Susan has been listening. Check out the Susan Q+A and see her Endorsements
The Evans for Wake campaign is not associated with negative mailers distributed recently in District 8 by third parties. Official mailers are clearly labeled "Paid for by Evans for Wake". Although her opponent has declared publicly "It's time to take the gloves off", Susan is committed to a positive campaign that puts students first, politics last.

Netanyahu: Palestinian State Must Be Totally Demilitarized
Suggestion of State at All Could Complicate Coalition Talks
Speaking at the Jewish Agency Board of Governors, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that any Palestinian state would have to accept total demilitarization, and would have to endorse Israel's "Jewish" status.
The comments were likely intended to stake out a hawkish, hardline position on peace talks ahead of Secretary of State John Kerry's visit, but could be seen as insufficiently hawkish by Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett, with whom Netanyahu is still trying to negotiate a coalition government deal.
That's because Bennett is rejecting Palestinian statehood on general principle, arguing that God gave Israel both the territory of Israel and all of the occupied territories, and that it isn't enough room to allow the Palestinians a state of their own.
Those coalition talks have stalled, with Bennett and the Yesh Atid Party both demanding the exclusion of ultra-orthodox parties from the government, and Netanyahu pushing for their inclusion.

Israel has the right to defend itself, but Palestine doesn't have the right to defend itself?
Israel needs to be disarmed when the Palestinian state is created.., today Israel was Palestine.., the west made it to Israel by supporting Israel verity of apartheid regimes, a non democracy, a militarism regime, a brutal racist regimes needs to be disarmed when the Palestinian land is created again.., and it well no matter what this war junky says.
Truly laughable: the zio state foaming at the mouth.
Netanyahu says the Palestinians have to cower before their Zionist overlords. That should work.
The zionist are farting againt thunder did they get written confirmation from god and a deed for the lands/ resourses they have stolen god told them they were chosen above all and a licence to murder/destroy,torture in his name bristling with modern weapons and nuclear weapons they are still afraid that their position in occupied lands taken by force of arms.
You are an antisemite …. using logic makes you also a terrorist
It is aggressive,expansionist, apartheid Israel that should be disarmed by the US and international community. Further,all the sanctions we are currently heaping on Iran at Israel's directon, should be imposed on warmongering Israel.
The Jews know full well why their ancestors forfeited the
promised land and suffered the great Exile to Babylon,
for their Hebrew Old Testament has it described in detail,
such as all the warnings given by a child Prophet who as
a teenager, wrote,
"They have rejected me as their king, as they
have done from the day I brought them up out
of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving
other gods."
1 Samuel 8:7
Oh right, from God; But it is a land full of abortionists, porno makers, shylocks,shysters, gangsters,banksters and all the worlds filth. I think the last place God would like would be a murdering defiling es-real!!
Zionism is a fiction religion and a fake morality, as it is totally void of happiness. For happiness is not happy nerve endings and what best pleases emotions, happy memories of when you best pleased the intillect.
For happiness as it is set forth in the U.S. Declaration of Independence, this is to experience compassion, pity, charity and in a way that best produces a heartwarming grateful response.
israel/america and NATO NEED TO BE DISARMED AND DISSOLVED…
Well, and Province of Palestine called Israel to 67 borders must be "dezionized", illegal arsenal of undeclared WMD destroyed, army dissolved and UN peace force take care for security in most rasist place on planet…..Any future sign about "Zionist ideology" must be punished on the spot…..
Truth Judaism will be invited to enter future Israels Province to take care for tottaly confused and brainwashed people – thinking they are chosen…Truth Torah Judaism will be fased with very difficult task, yet possible….
Under new instruction these people will be chosen, but chosen for intensive reuducation.
Future Palestine will have to deal with this problem and World free from Evil Zionist ideology will surely help….For benefit of Humanity peter czech
Israel must definitely be disarmed.
I fail to understanfd why the international press still pays attention to this deranged sociopath.
Natanyahu has clearly established the fact that he is out of control, a perverted warmonger and totally
unreliable. When his lips move you know he is lying. The French Prime Minister Sarkozy was on the money with his evaluation of this creep. Our President did not seem to disagree.
It is time for the international community to put Israel on notice that if they support this criminally insane tyrant, there will be severe repercussions and boycotts.
If God made these, or any human beings, his Chosen People how did he ever create universe after universe after universe of incredible magic? Beats me.

The search for a missing 15-year-old Lebanon boy believed drowned in the Cumberland River continued throughout the day Monday with several law enforcement agencies joining the search.
Wilson County Sheriff Robert Bryan said eight boats were in the water Monday from Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Wilson County Emergency Management Agency and sheriff's crews from Wilson, Sumner and Trousdale counties.
"We will keep searching until we find him," Bryan said.
Authorities called off their search Sunday at sunset for a swimmer they believe to have drowned in the Cumberland River at Hunter's Point.
Bryan said the boy was with a group of youth swimming Sunday afternoon at Hunter's Point, a popular swimming hole on the Cumberland River at the Wilson County line with Trousdale County off Highway 231 at the base of the bridge next to the Lebanon Water Plant.
Bryan said the boy jumped off a 10-foot high bluff, but was described as a mediocre swimmer and became caught in strong currents caused by recent heavy rainfall and open dams upstream. Bryan said another swimmer had his hands on the missing boy but could not pull him to shore.
According to Wilson Emergency Management Agency director John Jewell, the incident happened at about 5 p.m.
"The current out there makes it extremely difficult to search," Jewell said.
Jewell said WEMA officials had two boats in the water Sunday launched from the nearby Hunter's Point boat ramp. Sheriff's deputies also had a boat in the water.
Jewell said authorities will continue dragging the lake for the missing swimmer's body until found. The swimmer's identity wasn't released.
