Lol, don't get upset man, no one is blaming the whole Jewish race for this, relax. It has been proven that Kemalists were donmeh though, this is a historical fact. But as i said relax and don't take it personally, no one hates all the Germans/Austrians because Hitler was one of them.
I personally believe that TPTB hijacked your religion and committing crimes in the name of the Jewish race and didn't hesitate many times to sacrifice many of your own to further their agenda. Jewish conspiracy is a conspiracy with a conspiracy in it for me. I don't hate the average Jew if that's what you implying here.
Oh-oh, you are clearly a Zioneest Collaborator/Sympathizer/Stooge.
Everyone knows Juices caused all wordly ills & turned our finest, sexy-ass Muslim livestock & Nordic toddler super-models against us with great big lies & gossip so now we're cut off for a month of no chitty-chitty, bang-bang!

A new generation of action promises to open up government contracting in Africa
I have worked on public procurement and governance for most of my life. But I have never been more excited to finally have a solution at hand that has potential to change the legacy of opaqueness, fraud and lack of effectiveness in public contracting in many African countries.
Africa still need billions in investments to build infrastructure and provide quality services to its citizens, many of them vital: health care centers, food for school children, water services and road to help farmers market their produce. Investments as part of the Sustainable Development Goals in infrastructure alone carries a price tag nearly $100 billion a year. Unfortunately, like in many countries around the world, public contracting in Africa has been characterized by poor planning, corruption in picking contractors and suppliers and contracts are poorly managed.
But the good news is that this is changing. The series of blogs I'm kicking off will highlight the shifting of the norm towards open contracting in Africa.
Unlocking innovation in the Middle East through financial inclusion
I recently attended an SME Conference in Jordan around SME Finance and Employment – extremely important issues in a troubled region. All participants agree that much more needs to be done to address the lack of jobs in the region and to increase financial access at all levels, to individuals, households and small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs).
despite being a middle income region.
Only 4% of unbanked adults in the Middle East say that they don't have an account because they don't need one. In other words, it is clear there is widespread unmet demand for financial services.
A person living in the Middle East is less likely to have a bank account than is a low-income person living in Africa or South Asia, and significantly less likely than a person living in Latin America, Eastern Europe or East Asia from comparable middle income country or region. This poses a dilemma – why?
Part 2: Five principles to behavior change: Lessons from social enterprises
The things we do: Why those who see the world differently are always wrong
Have you ever been in an argument that ended badly, after which you expected to receive an apology? Did the apology come or was the other side also expecting one? Have you ever done an audit or technical assessment and wondered how a team of professionals could have come to such seemingly erroneous conclusions? How can that be? How is that people can have such different views of the same thing?
One reason misunderstandings occur is that people tend to be naïve realists. That is, we believe that we see social interactions as they truly are. Anyone else who has read what we have read or seen what we have seen will naturally perceive them the say way as we do… that is, assuming they've pondered the issue as thoughtfully as we have. In short, our own reality is true, so those who disagree with us must be uninformed, irrational, or biased.
However, one of the most enduring contributions of social psychology is the understanding that two people can interpret the same social interaction in very different ways, based on their own personal knowledge and experiences.
Tim Harford, the Undercover economist at the Financial Times, recently wrote about naïve realism, calling it the, "seductive sense that we're seeing the world as it truly is, free of bias." He goes on to say that this is such an attractive illusion that whenever we meet someone that contradicts our own view, we instinctively believe we've met someone who is deluded rather than question our own rationale.
What does it take to modernize government administration? Lessons from Romania
Romania has transformed tremendously in the past decades. Like its neighbors, the former transition economy has decisively committed to European Union (EU) integration. This has opened up great opportunities for both its citizens and its economy.
This transformation has had a positive impact on agriculture and rural areas. The European Common Agricultural Policy provided a sound policy framework, emphasizing investment in agriculture and rewarding environmentally friendly farming. It also drove institutional change by introducing modern IT systems and practices for the management of EU funds, as well as by committing €24 billion for the Romanian farmers and rural dwellers through 2020.
Yet, the transformation has proven unequal in the agriculture and rural sector, as well as in the sector administration.
Why was this the case?
A field guide to infrastructure
Birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts already know that a field guide is a book designed to help the reader identify wildlife or other objects that occur naturally, like minerals. It's meant to be carried into the "field" to help distinguish between similar objects.
At the Global Infrastructure Hub, we thought it was time for a field guide to infrastructure, pointing out the different resources that populate the landscape and helping them connect better. The Global Infrastructure Hub's Field Guide to Infrastructure Resources (Field Guide) collects together existing resources and helps the user establish connections among them.
There is no easy fix to the dropout problem
When I joined the Mexican ministry of education in 2008, one of the first challenges I had was to identify effective policies to reduce dropout rates in upper secondary (grades 10, 11 and 12). Eight years, two randomized control trials, numerous workshops, and several diagnostics later, I still don't have a precise answer.
Decomposing response error to improve consumption survey design
Consumption or income, valued at prevailing market prices, is the workhorse metric of economic welfare – poverty is almost universally defined in these terms. In low- and middle-income countries these measures of household resource availability are typically assessed through household surveys. Yet the global diversity in survey approaches is vast, with little rigorous evidence concerning which particular approach yields the most accurate resource estimate. (Indeed there may be no one approach that best suits every context – more on this below.)
With this question in mind, Kathleen Beegle, Joachim DeWeerdt, John Gibson, and I conducted a survey measurement experiment in Tanzania that randomized common survey approaches to consumption measurement across a representative sample of households in Tanzania. Previous papers have explored the relative performance of the approaches in terms of mean consumption, inequality, poverty, and the prevalence of hunger (see these papers here, here, and here). Our new working paper seeks to push this data further to understand the nature of the reporting errors that underlie the mean estimates.
'Davos Every Day': Parliamentarians' ideas enrich the Spring Meetings debate, advancing the Good Governance agenda
At the Global Parliamentary Conference 2016, the perspectives of parliamentarians from 70 countries energized the debate before the Bank's and the Fund's Spring Meetings. From left to right, on the Preston Auditorium stage: Jeremy Lefroy, a Member of Parliament in the U.K., who served as the conference chairman; IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde; and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim.
Did you happen to miss the Davos conference over the winter? I feel your pain: Somehow, for the umpteenth year in a row, my ticket to the World Economic Forum in Davos must have gotten lost by the Postal Service, too.
Not to worry, however: Twice a year, in April and October, Washington's motto might as well be "Davos Every Day" – as the great and the good of globalization gather for the formal meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund.
The Bretton Woods siblings are just-now recovering from their semiannual tsunami of scholarship and diplomacy, with still-dazed staff members sorting through their accumulated post-Meetings mountains of newly published policy monographs, economic analyses and deepthink datapoints. This spring's sprint focused, as is customary, on the speeches, statements and seminars with the Bank's and the Fund's scholars, along with the insights of the institutions' core constituents: the Finance Ministers and central-bank governors who oversee their countries' daily economic policymaking.
But there was an additional governance-focused feature at this spring's gathering: Meetings-goers also gained the valuable perspective of the almost 200 lawmakers and observers from 70 countries who convened in Washington, for just the second time, for the annual Global Parliamentary Conference. The gathering was held under the auspices of the Bank- and Fund-sponsored Parliamentary Network, which is now chaired by Jeremy Lefroy, a member of the U.K.'s House of Commons representing Stafford.
Hearing the viewpoints among the lawmakers, just before the executive-branch officials began the Spring Meetings formalities, provided Washingtonians a chance to take the pulse of an additional cohort of opinion leaders whose work is indispensable in delivering effective governance. The conference first brought the parliamentarians to Washington in 2015 – and now the Parliamentary Network is aiming to make Washington the venue for their conference every year.
Linking the lawmakers' conference with the meetings in Washington will provide a valuable opportunity for the parliamentarians to hear more about the latest research findings of the Bank and the Fund. Moreover, it will help the Bank's and the Fund's headquarters staffs in Washington hear, more directly, about the policy priorities and development ideas of the leaders who frame their countries' laws – some of whom may someday, in their turn, become the Ministers and policymakers who lead their countries' executive-branch agencies.

How to get the very most out of Facebook
There's lots one can do to enhance a brand and attract fans
March 1, 2012
Facebook is the most important media phenomenon of this decade, and a big part of that comes from allowing its users to become publishers in their own right. Every user gets to express herself or himself in their own terms.
That's true for businesses as well.
But not everyone does it well. Far too many businesses set up Facebook pages and then promptly forget about them. The problem: They don't get the dynamics of Facebook as a means of spreading the value of their brands to new universes.
Meet Bill DeRosa of
Talking Finger, a social media agency.
In this webinar, Bill walks Media Life readers through all the ways they can improve Facebook pages. The webinar is titled "Getting the very most out of Facebook."
As Bill explains, a fully optimized Facebook page can attract new customers while deepening ties with existing customers.
But it does even more. It turns fans into advocates for your brand, and those fans share that advocacy with friends.
It allows you to become a thought leader, the go-to authority in your market. And it builds brand loyalty and trust through the transparency it brings to your brands.
In this webinar, you will learn:
-How to create and enhance your page's look
-How to gain greater exposure through apps, tabs and plug-ins
-How to use analytics to define your strategy
-What to post–and what not to post
To illustrate his insights, Bill used the Facebook page belonging to Media Life, a page that's clearly in need of help (See it here at
The webinar is sponsored by BPA, the online, print and face-to-face auditing service. Any one who listens to the webinar will receive free access to BPA's new online traffic tool, which contains data on all BPA-audited web sites.

I´m not a golf fan , but I have hear that the golf course on the Westman Islands is the most beautiful in the world. The Islands are just off the south coast of Iceland. I would say total journey time from Reykjavik is about 3 hours. Here is a link with more info.

Field-to-plate demo impresses visitors
Relevant offers
A delegation of Chinese visitors gave their first taste of Southland and New Zealand the thumbs-up yesterday.
Alliance Group hosted a group of 26 at its Lorneville meat plant and showed them how sheepmeat was processed and gave them a cooking demonstration.
The delegation was made up of winners of an Alliance consumer research programme, Chinese media, the owner of a large Chinese chain restaurant and representatives from Grand Farm - Alliance Group's largest Chinese customer. For most it was their first time in New Zealand. The occasion was recorded for a Chinese television and radio station based in Heilongjiang - a province in the northeast of China.
Television presenter Peng Yuan said the coverage would be included in a programme called city life that educated the province with a population of 4 million, about lifestyles and food.
Competition winner Zhou Zhi Hai said it was great to visit the world's largest sheepmeat processor and exporter.
New Zealand lamb tasted much different to that in China, he said.
Chen Xi Liang, who is in charge of the Grand Farm factory in China, said consumers associated New Zealand lamb with the best in the world and it was good for him to see the process from field to plate.
Traceability of meat was immensely important in China, which Alliance had demonstrated.
He was pleased to see high standard food safety procedures. He now wanted to discuss technology with Alliance and try to bring the same high standards to China.
Alliance Group general manager of marketing Murray Brown said the aim was to create awareness and educate the group as China progressed towards a western style of cooking.
The company wanted its products to be used in higher sectors within China, such as five-star hotels and restaurants that understood western cuisine. This aspect of the business was less about volume and more about adding value, he said.
Business in China had grown because it was dealing with this wide range of products. Alliance had been developing relationships in China for about 20 years but it was in the last three years the company had experienced a surge in growth. China makes up about 30 per cent of Alliance's total volume of exports.
The Chinese delegation also toured a farm in Castlerock owned by Alliance Group suppliers. email@example.com

Kiwi ingenuity can save our economy

Can you fix the economy?
New Zealand has the unique advantage of a reasonable climate, space to enjoy life and a good standard of living. The latter can be improved on, but not by importing more people. Any preference for population growth as a way to improve our economy is extremely shortsighted. You only need to look at the big cities across the world with slums, substandard living conditions and lack of space.
Here in New Zealand we still have the opportunity to go bush, go to the beach and go to the country without walking in a line to do it, or fighting for a spot on the beach to put your towel.
The way to improve our economy is to stimulate industries like tourism, add value to products already made here, and target niche markets for top-end products and services. We should encourage start-up companies with new products that can be sold at a premium. Once those products go mainstream, sell the companies overseas and start something new.
Sounds silly? It's not. New Zealand doesn't have the facilities or the people to produce mainstream products for the world. Countries with large populations and low wages can do that.
Our government is still too focused on big business. Supporting it is wasting money, especially if the businesses are based overseas. Their profits go over the back of the New Zealand workers and don't really benefit our economy, despite the taxpayer having paid for them to set up shop here in the first place.
We also need to focus on making and keeping our environment clean to attract more visitors, who, after spending their money here, go back home to tell the story. We need to make sure they can tell a good story, so their neighbours will visit us too.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

I had some "issues" with my dad when I was in my teens, but when he sobered up I quit skating and went to work in his bookkeeping and escrow office. I learned a LOT, and got to know him better, but always felt that I'd let him down because I never went to college, never got married, etc.
But the week after he died, I had to call ALL his clients to tell them that I wasn't qualified do their taxes and stuff (I was working in advertising by then). Anyway, every single one of them told me "He was so proud of you." I fell apart....and I have always wondered why he never told me that.
Oh, and we had a row with Dad's sister and her husband (son of a preacher-man) because Dad had been adamant about no services... he just wanted his ashes scattered in the ocean without any fuss, so that's what we did. (I've already made arrangements for the same thing for myself. Phish Phood.)
Families....there's always someone who has to complicate things. Or feel offended, or whatever.
Just got this as part of an e-mail from FFRF...I think it's clever
Dear Grinning Cat, when my father died (in 1985, right before my 46th birthday), some twit did say "He's in a better place now," and I screamed back, "WELL, I'M NOT!!!" Idiots.
This is not a comforting thing to say, but I have to tell the truth...I still miss him.
Thanks for all of your support and good thoughts! (And refreshingly, without having to deal with well-meaning theistic talk about a better place, etc.)
Felaine, the hugging cat is perfect!

Yes, sk8eycat, Blood, Sweat and Tears is another great group, as well. So is The Association. They had a lot of great hits. In my opinion, Chuck Mangione is the guy who introduced and popularized the flugelhorn for the masses. He had some big hits in the 70's and 80's playing it.
Good morning, Flying A.....Blood, Sweat & Tears has amazing brass, too. I get chills (of happiness) when I hear the intro to "Spinning Wheel."
The Association (the original group) had a couple of horns, too. One of the guys played a strange looking thing called a Flugelhorn.
Tony, good morning and thanks for posting the Lighthouse song. I've never heard of them. Great song! I've always liked rock music that included horns.......Tower of Power, Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, etc.

"We can hold our heads up high, because we know we played our hardest," said Pierce City coach Allison Davis. "I felt our three seniors gave everything they had and we have no regrets."
Pierce City was placed in a quad-team single elimination playoff tournament format with Lockwood, Rich Hill and Osceola. The winner of the tournament advanced to the volleyball final four.
The Lady Eagles jumped out to a 5-0 lead behind a Krishna Merriman kill and four service points from Brianna Zebert.
Two 3-0 service runs from Rebecca Hatfield and Jenny Kiaser ensured a first set victory for the green and white.
In the second set, the Lady Tigers dug their heels into the hardwood floor.
Pierce City jumped out to a commanding 9-1 lead. Only to watch as Lockwood responded with an 11-7 run to cut the gap to 16-11.
Neither team could get on track from the service line with the remainder of the points being awarded by defensive side-outs.
Christine Younker secured the victory for the Lady Eagles with a kill.
Osceola made quick work of Rich Hill handing the Lady Tigers a 25-14, 25-14 loss.
Pierce City and Osceola proved to be evenly matched in the quarterfinal round.
Playing to their strengths, Pierce City used its height and three Kaiser serves to power to a quick 9-3 edge forcing a Lady Indians' timeout.
Osceola adjusted to the Lady Eagles frontcourt advantage and responded with its own 9-3 run to tie the game 12-12.
Neither team could establish a clear advantage with seven ties and eight lead changes in the first set.
Osceola's Brooke Wilson scored two service points to give the Lady Indians a 24-21 leads and a defensive kill doomed Pierce City.
The second set mirrored the first.
Pierce City knotted the scored at 17-17, when Courtney Zebert scored on five consecutive serves to force a decisive third set.
In a familiar pattern, Pierce City earned a 2-0 lead and then the Lady Indians responded to tie the game.
The third set was tied at 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 7-7 and 8-8 when Osceola's Katherine Brockus went to serve.
A momentary lapse on defense by Pierce City led to six straight Lady Indians' points and a 14-8 lead.
Pierce City tried, but couldn't close the gap.
"They did a good job of dropping the ball over our height in the front row," said Davis. "Both team hit the ball hard. They were able to extend rallies and earn the win."

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today predicted that Germany will win the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™. Using the award-winning EA SPORTS™ football engine that drives EA SPORTS 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, EA was able to simulate the 2014 FIFA World Cup and test all 32 teams under the same conditions they will face in the weeks ahead in Brazil. It was determined that Germany will defeat Brazil 2-1 (ET) at the Estádio do Maracanã on July 13 to win the country's fourth FIFA World Cup, becoming the first European nation to win the FIFA World Cup on South American soil. Four years ago, EA SPORTS accurately predicted that Spain would prevail as the tournament champions. Should fans disagree with the predicted result, they can make their own FIFA World Cup predictions using the new EA SPORTS FIFA World Cup interactive bracket available here. Alternatively, fans looking to follow the tournament can print the EA SPORTS 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ tournament bracket available here.
EA SPORTS 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, the officially licensed videogame of the World Cup, predicted the following outcomes:
- World Champion: Germany
- World Cup Final: Germany 2 Brazil 1 (extra-time)
- Golden Boot winner: Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (Brazil), 6 goals
- Golden Ball winner: Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior
- Best Goal: Andrés Iniesta vs. England
In the EA SPORTS simulation, the Final itself was an epic battle as Brazil squared off against Germany in a repeat of the 2002 World Cup Finals. The Brazilian 'samba boys' got off to an impressive start, overwhelming Germany with their skill, speed and free-flowing football. The early pressure paid off as Neymar found space behind the German backline and beat Manuel Neuer one-on-one, making him the tournament's top scorer in the process (6 goals). As the game continued, the resilient Germans settled down and began to find their rhythm. Late in the match, Per Mertesacker would equalize for Germany with a towering header from a well-delivered Mesut Özil corner. Brazilian dreams of a fairytale finish were crushed in extra-time when substitute Miroslav Klose reacted first to a loose ball and scored from close range, writing himself into the history books as the FIFA World Cup's all-time top scorer (16 goals). With the win, Germany claimed their fourth World Cup.
Germany's path to FIFA World Cup glory included a tight 2-1 quarter-final victory over Argentina and a 5-4 penalty shootout semi-final win over defending champions Spain. Brazil's journey to the final included a come from behind 4-3 penalty shootout win against Uruguay and a 1-0 semi-final win over Portugal where a late Neymar goal was the difference.

April 27, 2016When Target announced its plans for a Marimekko line, I was excited about my prospects for affordable access to the otherwise high-end, high-priced brand (on its website, aprons average $47 and mini tea towels go for about $20, to give you an idea). But I was also admittedly apprehensive, as I was still recovering from Hurricane Lilly's hit last year that left me with only one measly Essie/Lilly bottle of "Gold Nuggets" nail polish. (Remember my blog from last year?) Now that it's been more than a week since Marimekko's debut, I'm left a little ...

April 25, 2016To the news that Victoria's Secret is going to be scaling back – perhaps even eliminating – its print catalog going forward, all one can say is they must have their underwear on too tight over there. While the rest of the retail world is embracing the omnichannel strategy – be anywhere and everywhere your customer wants to connect with you and be able to sell them accordingly – the VS folks seem to have decided the cost of printing and mailing all of those catalogs is just too expensive. Well, so are electricity in the stores, web programmer salaries and the ships ...

April 25, 2016The owners of my local mall want to turn it into a village – and that says a lot about where bricks retailing seems to be headed. The 56-year-old Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, N.J., features 150 stores and 7,000 parking spaces, including a three-story garage that, frankly, I have never seen used in the five years I've been a resident in this area. The owner – real estate development firm Kushner Companies – recently asked for a zoning change that would allow it to convert the mall into "a 24/7 live/work/play environment." The vision includes residential buildings ...

Mt Hood
NWAC avalanche forecasts apply to backcountry avalanche terrain in the Olympics, Washington Cascades and Mt Hood area. These forecasts do not apply to developed ski areas, avalanche terrain affecting highways and higher terrain on the volcanic peaks above the Cascade crest level.
Weekend Outlook for Friday April 29th to Sunday May 1st
Avalanche Forecasts have ended for the 2015 - 2016 season. Weekend Outlooks will be issued Thursdays April 28th and May 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th. Special advisories, watches, and warnings will be issued throughout the spring for unusual or dangerous avalanche conditions.
Recent Weather
April has been somewhat of a roller coaster especially for freezing levels and temperatures.
The last warm, dry period came about April 16th to 21st when freezing levels rose again to around 12,000 feet.
A little more snow was seen about April 22nd to 24th with perhaps 1-2 inches or so at higher elevations along the west slopes of the Washington Cascades and with 2-6 inches at NWAC station at Mt Hood.
A cool period with mostly minor showers has been seen the past few days ending Thursday April 28th.
Recent Snow and Avalanche Observations
Observations are a bit few and far between for the past few days although I know folks have been out skiing.
NWAC observer Dallas Glass was out in the Paradise area on Sunday 4/24 and found about 2 inches of new or storm snow well bonded to previous snow which tended to be unfrozen. There were no signs of wind transport. While this gave a fresh coat of paint to the mountain it was not enough for new avalanche problems. He did not visit the above tree line but felt that there would need to be more wind and snow there to create new avalanche problems.
The North Cascade Mountain Guides were out near Washington Pass on Tuesday 4/26 and found some recent cornice falls that did trigger some small to large loose wet avalanches.
A report on Turns All Year also for Tuesday 4/26 for Black Peak indicated 1-2 inches of new snow and good corn snow conditions.
The DOT crew at Chinook Pass on Wednesday 4/27 reported firm snow and good spring skiing.
Weather, Snow and Avalanche Outlook for Friday to Sunday
Warm periods in April seem to have done a good job of consolidating and stabilizing the upper snowpack in the Olympics, Washington Cascades and at Mt Hood. The mid and lower snowpack should also mainly consist of firm, stable layers of rounded snow crystals and crusts from warm or warm, wet periods this winter.
Light to moderate west-northwest flow will carry a weak front across the Northwest on Friday morning. Short lived convergence may shift south over the central Cascades. This should cause another 1-2 inches of snow along the west slopes above about 5-6000 feet, with less or little at Hurricane and along the east slopes. Light showers along the west slopes should end Friday evening.
The minor amounts of rain or snow mainly along the west slopes and cool temperatures on Friday should not be enough to create significant new avalanche problems. Snow conditions on Friday should remain over mostly firm and stable with minor amounts of new snow along the west slopes above about 5-6000 feet.
An upper ridge and dry warm air mass should build over the US coastal waters on Saturday and Sunday. This will mainly cause northwest winds on Saturday to become northeast on Sunday, and sunny weather with a warming trend Saturday and Sunday. Some offshore surface flow should develop later Sunday. Freezing levels should rise to about the 10,000 foot range later Saturday and Sunday.
Some melting and softening of surface snow on steep solar slopes may be possible by Sunday. Watch for loose wet surface snow deeper than a few inches, pinwheels or rollerballs or initial small loose snow avalanches that precede larger loose snow avalanches. It will probably still be good to avoid areas below gullies and avalanche run out zones especially the ones that are in the sun. But good spring snow conditions and generally safe avalanche conditions should be seen this weekend.
The report above from the North Cascades Mountain Guides indicates it will still be a good plan to avoid areas along ridges or summits that may still have cornices and to avoid slopes below cornices this weekend.
Remember that this forecast is for areas in the Olympics and in the Cascades up to the crest level and does not apply to higher elevations on the volcanoes.
This Outlook will not be updated unless there is a significant change from the expected conditions this weekend.

I will not argue with any of your talkbacks simply because you are not interested in hearing any good concerning chareidim and so will not waste my time. However what i will say is this- You can rant your bitterness, hatred and contempt till you die but that won't make the slightest bit of difference to their happy and content way of life. Moreover,whilst you will die, taking with you your hatred;the torah Jew will continue to flourish and the torah will be here eternally. May G-d heal your souls and deep hatred.

With windows dropping support for XP in a few months, I'd like to beat the rush and switch off Windows XP to Windows 8.1 (or a linux flavor). I do use the machine for work purposes, and will not be able to continue using Windows XP once the support from Microsoft is dropped.
Are there any reasons that Windows 8.1 would not work on my machine? It's an older model, so I'm not sure how well supported it would be. I ran the Microsoft upgrade compatibility tool, which indicated there were no problems, provided appropriate drivers were available, and it's the drivers I'm most concerned about.
Would I be able to simply upgrade, or would I need to do a fresh install?
Also, would I be able to purchase the Windows 8.1 through Acer or would I have to go to Microsoft?
