Office of the
Minister for Defence
Monday 6 July 1998
The wonder of Fromelles was the sheer great-hearted bravery of Australians saving their mates, the Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Bruce Scott, told hundreds of French and Australians who gathered in northern France yesterday for the dedication of a new memorial park to the men of the First AIF.
The new Fromelles Memorial Park is located not far from the village of Fromelles, and is near VC Corner Cemetery where many Australian casualties of the battle who fought on 19/20 July 1916, are buried.
Mr Scott and the Minister for Defence, Ian McLachlan, representing the Prime Minister, laid wreaths at VC Corner Memorial before travelling to Fromelles.
"These special and touching commemorative events over the past three days have revitalised the strong friendships forged between the Australian and French people on the battlefields of France 80 years ago," Mr McLachlan said.
"Not only did we forge a valuable and lasting relationship - the Australian identity and our reputation as a staunch ally was also reinforced.
"Today the spirit of our veterans remains an inspiration to all of us. The awarding of the Legion of Honour to Ted, Eric, Charlie and Howard and all the other surviving veterans of the Western Front campaigns, shows the French people will not forget their courage and sacrifice - nor will the people of Australia."
The new memorial, which is mounted on the site of old German trenches which were captured and briefly held by the Australians, is a larger than life-size figure of an Australian Digger carrying a wounded mate on his shoulder. The sculpture is based on an incident reported in the official Australian war history and typical of many others in which hundreds of wounded Diggers were rescued from no man's land by their comrades.
"The Battle of Fromelles was the first major action in France in World War I, not only for the men of the Australian 5th Division but for the AIF as a whole," Mr Scott said.
"This battle cost our young nation over five and a half thousand casualties in just 27 hours of fighting.
"Amongst this carnage and somewhere near where we stand today, a badly wounded Digger, huddled in a shell hole yelled out 'Don't forget me, cobber'. His plea, answered when Sergeant Fraser returned with a stretcher party to take him to safety, has carried beyond his time into our own. Like Sergeant Fraser we have returned to say we haven't forgotten," Mr Scott said.
Earlier on Sunday morning, Mr McLachlan read a lesson and Mr Scott delivered an address at the burial of Private Russell Bosisto of the 27th Battalion who was killed on August 4, 1916 but whose remains were discovered by a French farmer earlier this year.
"We come as understudies from another time, another world, to mourn the tragedy of a young life lost. We stand in the place of all those who knew and loved Russell to say the farewell to a son, a brother, a mate that they were never able to say," Mr Scott said.
Private Bosisto was buried at Courcelette War Cemetery beside nine other members of the 27th Battalion who lost their lives on the same day.

Hi there!
I'm currently using a set of Mavic A719 rims laced to DMR hubs with double butted spokes. 32 front, 36 rear on a DMR singlespeed hub (they used to be my 29er wheels.) I like the width of the A719s, but wish they were a little lighter, I feel they're killing me a bit in the races. I'm not hard on wheels and build my own. I realize at my weight, I can't go that light as far as rims go. It seems like the best I could do is go to a mavic open pro, which will save me over 100 grams per rim, which is good. I'm conflicted about it though, as I'm not sure at the end of the day if the weight savings will warrant the cash it will cost to build the wheels. It seems like it will cost about $220 Canadian per wheel ($80 to $100 per rim, $80 per hub, $30 spokes).
I was wondering what you guys/gals would do in my situation, and if you had any other rim recommendations. For hubs, I was thinking either an XT or Ultegra front hub, and I totally don't know for the rear. I was thinking of getting fancy and ordering sapim CX ray spokes for one of the wheels.

A crash involving two vehicles that both overturned snarled traffic on Interstate 805 Sunday afternoon.
The collision between a white sedan and a tan Chevrolet SUV was reported about 1:25 p.m. on south I-805 near Home Avenue, the California Highway Patrol said.
At least two people were transported to hospitals, a San Diego Fire-Rescue dispatcher said. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Officers requested a lab technician, indicating that one of the drivers may have been driving under the influence, the CHP said.
Witnesses said the SUV had been driving recklessly before the crash.
Both vehicles were moved to the center divide by 2:45 p.m. and later towed away.

Truck involved in 2 crashes catches fire
San Diego
An alleged drunken driver whose truck burst into flames when it crashed Sunday night near Rancho Bernardo High School was involved in another wreck 30 minutes earlier near Torrey Highlands, San Diego police said.
The man, who was arrested shortly after 7 p.m. on suspicion of driving under the influence, had also reportedly crashed into another motorist on Camino del Sur and Highland Village Place in Torrey Highlands, San Diego Officer David Stafford said.
Officers caught up with the man on Paseo Lucido near Bernardo Heights Parkway, where he had crashed his truck into a bush, and the truck caught fire.
Two injured in South Bay I-5 crash
A multivehicle crash that left two people injured, including one critically, shut down all but one lane of southbound Interstate 5 in the South Bay Sunday night, the California Highway Patrol said.
The crash, which involved a Toyota Camry and a Ford Ranger truck, was reported at 8:18 p.m. on the CHP website near the Palm Avenue exit.
The CHP later said the critically injured person was taken to UCSD Medical Center, while the other injured person was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital-Chula Vista.
The CHP issued a SIG Alert shortly before 9 p.m. to accommodate the cleanup. All lanes were reopened a short time later.

Cargill Will Propel Its Ships Using SkySails Kites to Cut Fuel Consumption
Posted By Jessica Dailey On March 2, 2011 @ 10:15 am In Green Transportation,Innovation | No Comments
The shipping industry is working hard to reduce its carbon footprint. Last week, we reported that the world's largest shipping company, Maersk, bought 10 of the most eco-friendly cargo ships [1], and Japanese company Eco Marine developed rigid solar sails that can power ships [2] by harnessing the wind. Now, Cargill [3] shipping joins the green ranks with their announcement [4] of a partnership with Hamburg-based SkySails [5], a company that creates 320 square meter kites that propel ships [6]. Cargill will use a SkySail [7] on its handysize vessel, which weighs between 25,000 and 30,000 tons. It will be the largest ship ever to be propelled by a kite.
SkySails fly 100 to 400 meters above a ship, to which they are attached by rope. An automated control system adjusts the kite's flight path, and a monitor on the SkySails' workstation displays information related to a ship's operation. The kites can cut a ship's fuel consumption by 35 percent.
Cargill and SkySails are currently working together to develop and test the technology that will be used on the handysize ship. They have identified a ship owner who will use the kite, and they hope to have the system fully operational by the first quarter of 2012. Cargill does not own any ships itself, but its transportation business moves more than 185 million tons of goods each year.
"For some time, we have been searching for a project that can help drive environmental best practice within the shipping industry and see this as a meaningful first step", said G.J. van den Akker, head of Cargill's ocean transportation business, in a press release [4]. In December, Cargill joined Forum for the Future's Sustainable Shipping Initiative [8].
According to the Environmental Defense Fund, the freight sector represents about 8 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. A study by the United Nations International Maritime Organization found that a broad application of SkySails technology on the world merchant fleet could cut up to 100 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.
"We are delighted that Cargill is the first company to embrace our technology on a vessel this large as part of its commitment to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry," said Stephan Wrage, managing director of SkySails.
Wrage added that he hopes the partnership will lead to incorporation of the kites on larger ships in the industry — we do, too.
The Environmental Defense Fund said that kites [9] are a major way for ships to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and help curb global warming. If Cargill finds success using SkySails on cargo ships, many other companies in the industry could begin to do the same.

My garden consists of two narrow borders and lots and lots of various shapes and sizes of tubs.Some of the bigger ones have shrubs in along with many clematis.The rest are mostly perennial plants.I renew the top 2/3 inches of soil every two years, but really need advise on what the best plant food/fertiliser to use.please
I have been advised here to use tomato feed on patio clematis.
I'd add a good layer of well rotted manure , or garden compost, and let the worms do the rest for you. I'd second Artjak's suggestion re tomato food and clematis.
For beds fish blood and bone, as Tracey says, well mixed into the soil. In containers I too would go for top dressing with dried manure and a weekly dilute feed of seaweed spray and a high potash feed like phostrogen
I top dress the beds with home made compost and well-rotted farm yard manure, and a sprinkling of FB&B in the spring and again in early summer.
Plants that produce a lot of blooms, like clematis and roses also get a watering of soluble potash in early spring and again in the summer.
When planting I use bonemeal and for hungry plants some chicken poo pellets. Tomarite is good for green growth. There is a special feed called Nitrozyme that Cannabis growers use (nothing wrong from learn from the professionals) that gives plants a boost during growing seasons.

function [co] = IApprCorrEntr_initialization(mult)
%Initialization of the approximate correntropy independence measure estimator. The estimated quantity is computed according to the relation: I(y^1,y^2) = max(|CCorrEntr(y^1,y^2)|,|CCorrEntr(-y^1,y^2)|), where CCorrEntr denotes centered correntropy.
% 1)The estimator is treated as a cost object (co).
% 2)We use the naming convention 'I<name>_initialization' to ease embedding new mutual information estimation methods.
% 3)This is a meta method: the centered correntropy estimator can be arbitrary.
% mult: is a multiplicative constant relevant (needed) in the estimation; '=1' means yes, '=0' no.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

How can I discourage strangers who want to touch my belly?
When I'm out in public, whether I'm grocery shopping or waiting in line at the post office, people ask personal questions about my pregnancy and sometimes even put their hand on my belly. How can I tell them to mind their business without being rude?

What I find works very well is to rub their belly right back with a big smile on your face! If you're not feeling quite so bold, ask to rub their belly since they rubbed yours. This usually works quite well for me. I've even had people apologize for their boldness once they realize how inappropriate their action was.posted 09/02/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I totally agree with the sentiments expressed here. I am 24 weeks pregnant now and beginning to get the "may I touch" questions. I don't like people in my personal space, period. Even when my boyfriend rubs my belly it rubs me the wrong way sometimes!! The other day I had to slap the hand of a co-worker who attempted to lift up my shirt without warning, claiming she wanted to see my tummy!! Hello!! who does that? and in public no less!!she won't be trying that again anytime soon. Its just a matter of not invading people's personal space pregnant or not. jeez.posted 03/09/2006 by julesdave
When I was about 8 1/2 months along I was in wal mart shopping for my upcoming due day when this lady comes out of nowhere and starts giggling and rubbing my belly. I'm so shocked I could hardly breathe. Then she says, " Look honey! This is what I'm gonna look like soon!" Her husband looked like he was going to vomit over embarassment because he could see the look of fury on my face. I grabbed her hand and pushed it away and asked, 'does you being pregnant make you a member of some elite club that gives you the right to touch other people without asking them? Perhaps you havnt figured this out yet. Pregnant women have a really large personal space bubble. Your in mine, now get out.' As shocked as she was, she backed off.posted 06/06/2006 by breezynicole
I'm now 7 months pregnant with my 3rd child and at first I was strictly "hands off"! Now, it depends on my mood. There are days when I don't even want my husband to touch me much less a stranger. I try to be understanding when older women want to touch my tummy but anybody under 70 will probably get a hand block. I have pretty quick reflexes so I'm normally able to catch a hand and shake it or, I'll step back. Once a woman got offended when I moved her hand and I asked her how would she feel if someone walked up to her and rubbed her stomach or her breast? She told me that it's not the same and my response was, "to me it is and that this is my body and I have that right if I don't want you to touch me and furthermore, I have the right to feel that way without you becoming offended." She wanted to continue the conversation but I was getting weary of her so I just told her, "look if I can stand here and rub your breast, you can touch my stomach"! She got the message.posted 10/19/2007 by Mrs Keita
Easy, four words, "DONT MIND THE RASH"posted 11/30/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
One of my favorite responses to this problem is actually this: "Look sir/mam I am aware that I have the body of a god, but fortunately for me, that god is NOT Budha, so please do not rub my belly." This usually works well, and gets a laugh. A win/win.posted 06/04/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I am only about a month and a half pregnant and I am already having to deal with this. Mostly it's from coworkers (I work in a hospital so my positive hCG lab test became common knowledge within a week) but just the other day I was in the line at the supermarket with my husband and we were discussing when I should tell my parents and things like that and the lady in front of me turned around a rubbed my belly. My besetting fault is that I am extremely touchy about my personal space (almost to the point of agoraphobia) so I immediately smacked her fingers away. She looked amazed and blurted "But I thought you were pregnant!" I couldn't believe it. Of course, my husband explained to her that just because I'm pregnant doesn't me I should be subject to unwanted touching, but I am still shocked by her behavior. What on eart is with people?posted 09/20/2007 by sacchrain_kiss
I forewarned my touchy-feely coworkers in a joking/serious manner that if they rubbed/patted/touched the bump in any way, I would either 'feel up their tits' if they were women or 'send my knee to their groin' if they were men. It may be a bit direct for most people, but it has been effective. Many coworkers have told me they wish they would have had a comment like that as a deterrent for over-friendly people. At a family wedding, I had a complete stranger walk up and ask if she could tough my belly. I told her the penalty. She patted my belly after which I 'felt up' her right breast. She told me she thought I was joking, to which I replied, 'You need to invest in better bras.' No one touched me the rest of the evening.posted 11/20/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I am a psychiatrist, and 7 months pregnant. Talk about awkward is having your patients touch your belly on the way out the door. I'm not your typical stodgy shrink so maybe they assume I'm cool with it. I have a hard time correcting them because often they are in distress and look to me for comfort, so it makes it more awkward for me to stand up for myself. I guess I need to turn it into a teaching point on how to be assertive--and give myself a lesson, too! Anyway, one other thing I'd like to add to these posts is that women with histories of sexual abuse find it very frightening to be touched even by people they know much less strangers. So in general it is not a good idea to touch other people's bodies unless you have their permission. I could never imagine being so bold. I don't even touch my friend's pregnant bellies unless they ask me to. It's just weird. People have no boundaries.posted 08/27/2010 by keerabelle
I am 26 weeks and have had many a conversation in the grocery store, restaurants, etc. with people asking me questions regarding my pregnancy. I answer their questions politely and have noticed that if I keep my hands on my stomach or rub it as if she is kicking me, they tend to keep their hands to themselves. I also found, on CafePress.com, the cutest shirts. Mine says, "Yes, I'm pregnant. I'm due in September. I feel fine. It's a girl." They are customizable for the gender and month. I wear this shirt often as people will read it and won't have to ask me those same questions!posted 06/04/2007 by I_heart_DJTidalwave

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- Syracuse sophomore point guard Jonny Flynn has signed with an agent, officially ending his college basketball career.
In a video interview posted Thursday on Syracuse.com, Flynn says leaving Syracuse early to enter the NBA draft was the hardest decision of his life.
Flynn says he signed with Leon Rose's Creative Artists Agency Sports. The NBA draft will be held June 25.
Flynn's teammates Paul Harris and Eric Devendorf also are planning to declare for the NBA draft, but have not said whether they will hire agents. Underclassmen have until April 26 to declare for the NBA draft. Athletes have until June 15 to withdraw, if they do not hire an agent.

Thumbs up Air New Zealand for again raising the bar with in-flight safety videos.
Traditionally, the hardest job for an in-flight crew is to get passengers to watch the in-flight safety video/instructions but Air NZ consistently produces riveting, funny, concise videos that have the cheeky Kiwi personality as well as factual information.
In 2012 they did the Lord of the Rings parody with the crew and passengers based firmly in Middle Earth. In 2013 they enlisted the comedy talents of Betty White and Gavin McLeod for 'old school' instructions, set in a hip nursing home. This year's video comes with a bit of controversy for 'sexualising' women. Well, you can see that a bit because it features swimsuit models in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of Sports Illustrated.
After I found it immensely watchable I did wonder if they had only targeted heterosexual men so I ran it past the other half and she also couldn't put it down. It is set on stunning Aitutaki in the Cook Islands so the backdrop is glorious, the girls are good natured, the local kid is charming, there's a bit of buff male eye-candy for 'balance' and there's a nice flow of humour.
And if you find yourself sitting in an upright position flying across the ditch, Rydges has all your accommodation needs covered in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown and Rotorua.
Here's the video…

So today the server is up again so myself along with AWOD decided to test some things out. One thing we tried were the 2 rooms of the arena where the rooms search for an opponent for you. Both rooms we continually performed searches for each other for a good 5 minutes yet the game never managed to pair us up with each other inspite of us both being in the room and being the only people in the room. Battles in the training room where you create a game and people join it however still appear to be working just fine.
This may of course be intentionally if the server was set up so people could only play training matches, but just incase it was supposed to still pair you up successfully in the other rooms I figured it was worth point out.

About this cartoon, Bob says ...
When, oh when, will we get a viable third party? I'm reading Doris Goodwin's book "Team of Rivals," which chronicals Abraham Lincoln's rise to, and use of power, and also the Republican Party's formation over the slavery issue. In the beginning, the party was made up of disaffected Whigs and Democrats.
Englehart's Theorem is of the natural progression of things in the universe, that systems expand until they fall apart. Our political system of two-party rule has expanded to the point where it is now falling apart. The Democrats are as corrupt and bereft of ideas as the Republicans. Anyone who can't see that is operating through the lens of prejudice.
If you have ever listened with BOTH ears to radio talk show hell, you'll notice that the extremes of left and right are identical. They blast each other with the same words, words that can be applied to each, charges that can be leveled at both extremes.
My God, we need a new party, a third party, a party that reflects the rational middle ground, but we're not going to get it this year. Most certainly, we the peeps have to be shocked and awed by a cataclysmic national event the way people were in Lincoln's time. Apparently 9/11 wasn't enough. We can't seem to come to the table coolly, dispassionately, rationally yet.
It's easy enough for me to metaphorically draw the divisions between the established parties –– the elephants and the asses –– and to illustrate the corruption and stupidity. We need a party with the eagle as its symbol.
I'm convinced that all a third party needs is a name. If there is some person out there who can come up with a catchy name, a viable third party will be born. The Unity Party? I don't know; maybe that's not it. Whigs? Already been used.
Maybe we'll come up with something better in our hour of desperation. We need to be up against the wall, redneck mother, and we're not there yet -- but believe me, we will be soon enough. You can count on it.

I've got to be honest, at first I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the Dodgers splishing and splashing in the swimming pool at Phoenix's Chase Field Thursday night.
Was it just a spontaneous moment of chlorinated fun and exuberance from a Dodgers team that came back from the dead to win the National League West title?
Were the Dodgers being intentionally disrespectful? Were they trying to punk the Diamondbacks?
Were the Dodgers classless?
Or are the Diamondbacks and their fans just being super-sensitive?
Hmm ...
In case you missed it, here was the scenario:
Just a few minutes after the Dodgers captured NL West title with a 7-6 victory over the second-place D-backs, a bunch of Dodgers players scaled the right-center-field wall at Chase Field and began their raucous pool party.
The Diamondbacks celebrated in similar fashion when they won the title in 2011. But, of course, it's their ballpark and their pool.
Naturally, many from the hometown team were furious with the Dodgers:
• An editorial in Arizona Republic: "Congratulations are in order. Even to a bunch as classless as the Los Angeles Dodgers, the first players not wearing Diamondbacks uniforms to celebrate a championship by diving into the Chase Field pool."
• D-backs president and CEO Derrick Hall in an email to reporters: "I could call it disrespectful and classless, but they don't have a beautiful pool at their old ballpark and probably wanted to see what one was like."
• D-Backs infielder Willie Bloomquist to the Arizona Republic: "It's surprising because they have a lot of veteran guys on that team that I thought were classier than that. I just think they have enough guys on that team that it's surprising that they would allow that to happen.
"You have to give credit where credit is due. They won the division; congratulations to them, but I would expect them to act with a little more class than they did. I doubt the New York Yankees would do something like that."
The Diamondbacks were especially upset because before the game they had asked the Dodgers players not to celebrate excessively in front of Diamondbacks fans. However, by the time the Dodgers were doing cannonballs and the backstroke, Chase Field was pretty empty — as it is most of the time anyway.
Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said: "I've never seen a celebration where everyone isn't boisterous and enthusiastic."
I suppose if an opposing team came into Coors Field and celebrated by dancing in the home run fountain beyond the center-field fence, I would be upset. I'm supposed to be objective, but as Colorado native, it would rankle me. But looking at the Dodgers' notorious pool party from a distance, I don't have a problem with it. I think it was just good, clean fun. Nobody got hurt. It wasn't malicious.
I think D-backs pitcher Brandon McCarthy got it right. Posting on Twitter, he said: "Celebrating is fun. I don't care how and where you do it. Only thing to care about is what we need to do to celebrate in our pool next year."
Finally, the best defense of the celebration comes from a Dodgers fan posting on the message board to a column by Los Angeles Times columnist Bill Plaschke:
"Grow up D-backs. The Dodgers didn't spray paint the Green Monster or tear down ivy at Wrigley. It's a pool....in a baseball stadium. Enough said." — 50-yr. Dodgers fan

Vanderbilt 74, Western Kentucky 48
Dec. 21, 2010
Recap |
Box Score |
Vanderbilt Head Coach Melanie Balcomb On the defense... "The offense almost dictated the defense tonight. Jence [Rhoads] and Jas [Jasmine Lister] attacked and kept attacking so it made defense a lot easier. We [played well] on defense by taking away the three. We made some adjustments - went zone because their first 17 points came in the paint. When we went zone, we still did a good job of taking away the three which we hadn't been able to do all year. We just hadn't been playing it well. The fact that Jence [Rhoads] attacked and Jas [Jasmine Lister] attacked for 40 minutes and wore them down made defense easier. They didn't have their legs so they were missing shots because they were tired. In the first half we only had one foul on them going into the last minute and we talked about that. They were the aggressive team and the aggressive team always wins. In the second half we had the double bonus and we shot 24-for-28 from the free throw line. That's making an adjustment and being the aggressor." On being frustrated with the tempo of the first half... "I wasn't frustrated, but to be honest with you, we hadn't played a team like this. That's what pre-season is for. They had the athleticism, the defense, the pressure that we face in the SEC and we had not played a team like this. We've been playing a lot of small teams, three-point shooting teams, packing in, playing personnel and a lot of zone. They came out and it took us a while to adjust to it. We did not do well on offense because we hadn't seen that in a long time." Vanderbilt Senior Guard Jence Rhoads On if this was her best game of the year... "I think so. I felt better this and was more confident in this game. I'm healed." On if her injury is healed... "I think so. It's the healthiest it has been since the exhibition games. I've been feeling pretty good in practice and was hoping that I would be ready to play in this game." On if the team is playing on the same page now... "I think so. We are headed in the right direction and we finally look like Vanderbilt basketball. We are starting to click on offense and our defense is starting to work better. We have a long way to go obviously, but I think we are moving in the right direction."

|Sells items
| Drunk: He looks angry and smells drunk.
Drunk and wet: Like a regular Skippy, just damper.
Hung over: Skippy, just looking a little 'tender'.
Sober: He seems a lot less angry and smells a great deal fresher.
Skippy is found behind Hetty's house in Rimmington. He is drunk and you need to sober him up, before he will tell you about the Mogres. If you try to slay Mogres before doing the miniquest, you will not be able to. Before you do that, he throws bottles at the sea and yells threats to apparently no one.
To sober Skippy up, you first need to use a bucket of water on him, then he will mention wanting some nettle tea. To make this, use some nettles with a Bowl of water, then heat it on a range to make Nettle tea. He will also need a Hangover cure (made by mixing chocolate dust with a bucket of milk to get chocolatey milk, then mixing it with snape grass) before he can explain about the Mogres.
- Skippy often says "The Horror...The Horror..." which is undoubtedly a reference to the line in Joseph Conrad's book Heart of Darkness and the film based on it Apocalypse Now.
- Skippy also frequently says "Mudskippers. Thousands of them!" This is most likely a spoof of the famous misquotation often attributed to Michael Caine's character from the film Zulu.
- If you take the Forlorn boot from Mudskipper Point and use it on Skippy, he will say: "Thanks, now I have two right boots!"
- Sometimes Skippy will say "They're coming out of the walls!" which is most likely a reference to Aliens.
- When Old School RuneScape was released, Skippy was placed at several spots on Tutorial Island. He allowed players to skip the tutorial and teleport directly to Lumbridge.
- It is impossible to fight Skippy, despite him being shown with a combat level of 48. After EoC his combat level was 100, before returning to 48 after the combat level formula was changed again.

This series of 6 partial projects (collectively under the name 'The Green Tradition of Life') marked the beginning of Global ReLeaf Slovakia, a project of the Slovak Union of Nature and Landscape Protectors (S.Z.O.P.K.), the country's oldest environmental NGO and Global ReLeaf International Partner since 1991. The plantings took place in the following areas: Tatras National Park, Protected Landscape Area Stiavnica Hills, Housing Development 'Drienova' at Banska Stiavnica (as part of 'Earth Day '93' celebrations), and Housing Development 'Breziny' at Dolny Kubin (as part of a 'Global ReLeaf Welcoming' ceremony). The reason these projects were chosen was the extremely dry spring in Slovakia, which made only a few locations feasible for rapid planting. Local organizations of S.Z.O.P.K. were responsible for the care and maintenance of the trees.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

The holy grail of winter gravity is the ski or snowboard that flourishes in all kinds of terrain and in every snow condition. They haven't created perfection yet, but manufacturers have come a step closer: Ski makers are marrying the deep sidecuts of shaped skis with the wide waists of powder sticks, while snowboard manufacturers are tweaking materials and designs to shed ounces and add responsiveness without sacrificing power. This gear will give you quick edge changes on firm snow, stability in huge turns, and magic-carpet flotation in powder.
We've included only all-mountain equipmentthere are no bump skis or halfpipe specialists in the bunch. Still, which is right for you depends on factors that include your weight and how aggressive you are on snow. So be sure to demo before you buy. The winning gear is the stuff that helps you ski or ride better than ever before.
Steve Casimiro and Scott Willoughby
Dynastar Big 4X4
Lengths: 178 to 194 Centimeters
This is an aptly named ski: "Big" because it has a large surface area, and "4X4" because its construction handles everything from huge Alaskan slopes to widely spaced trees. The key is the oversize footprint (115-85-107 millimeters for the 194-centimeter ski), which makes riding the 4X4 feel more like snowboarding or surfing than skiing. You need to be aggressive and willing to ski fast to get the most out of these boards.
The Dynastar is built with an acrylic-and-wood core and is lighter and wider in the tail than its closest all-mountain competitor in terms of powder performance (the Rossi XXX). It carves exceptionally well for a big ski, but buy it only if you ski more fluff than hardpack. U.S. $695; +1 802 655 2400; www.dynastar.com.
Salomon Supermountain
Lengths: 178 to 194 Centimeters
The Supermountain could be the archetype of the new all-mountain ski; it offers a finely balanced blend of hard- and soft-snow performance that's somehow right down the middle of the road without ever being bland.
Like most Salomons, it has a foam core that provides a light, glassy feel that contrasts with stability-oriented skis such as the Atomic Betaride 9.22. Its monocoque titanium frame helps the Supermountain edge precisely, a feature much appreciated in steep chutes. And yet it's never squirrelly, unlike some other foam-core skis. Finally, the wide, 78-millimeter waist (110-78-100 millimeters) offers excellent flotation in powder and crud. U.S. $695; 877 272 5666 [U.S. and Canada only]; www.salomonsports.com.
Rossignol Bandit XXX
Lengths: 178 to 193 Centimeters
A version of the XXX has been in Rossignol's line for five years, and the model's performance has been ratcheted up each season, to the point where the Bandit XXX is now the choice of many of the strongest, most aggressive freeskiers. In fact, some skiers will find these skis too demanding.
Ultrawide dimensions (115-85-104 millimeters) and two sheets of stabilizing metal for the longest model mean it's happiest when the powder is deep and the speeds are high. Translation: Consider the XXX only if you spend most of your time in the [U.S.] West and/or in soft snow. U.S. $739; +1 802 863 2511; www.rossignol.com.
Atomic Betaride 9.22
Lengths: 160 to 200 Centimeters
Although better known for its World Cup skis, Atomic brought the first fat ski to market a decade ago. Those specialized powder skis revolutionized the all-mountain category, but Atomic's ski-everywhere boards never quite caught fire the way those from other brands did. This season, Atomic has tapped its World Cup expertise to build a new all-mountain ski.
The result is the Betaride 9.22, which uses two full-length half-moon "betacore" channels that give the ski an almost magnetic connection to the snow. The aggressive Atomic race feel has been tempered by a moderately wide footprint (110-72-102 millimeters) that helps versatility. U.S. $689; 800 258 5020 [U.S. and Canada only]; www.atomicsnow.com.
Arbor Muñoz Signature Series
Lengths: 154 to 170 Centimeters
Arbor's Mickey Muñoz signature model bridges the gap between long boarding the North Shore and free riding the North Face. In other words, its directional design provides a stiff tail for riding deep powder and a snappy, slingshot effect out of turns on firm snow.
A reduction in the amount of fiberglass used in this year's model helps give the Muñoz a butter-smooth roll from edge to edge, while the beautiful, exotic resin blend implanted into the walnut-and-Hawaiian-koa topsheet dampens rough snow. The Muñoz is one of the smoothest-riding boards for just about any condition save Eastern boilerplate and for just about anyone but the strongest and heaviest riders. U.S. $459; +1 310 656 3268; www.arborsports.com.
Burton Cascade
Lengths: 159 to 173 Centimeters
The goal with Burton's Cascade was to provide consistent, smooth response in all conditions for heavier, stronger riders. To get there, Burton built the board with a tip-to-tail wood core and carbon laminates that provide torsion resistance. To increase heel-toe edge control, beneath the bindings the grain of the wood core is oriented at 90 degrees to the rails. This gives the Cascade more strength and less flex underfoot, reducing chatter.
A slightly stiffer tip than tail bucks the current trend in snowboard design but helps the nose power through deep, heavy snow; the board also provides excellent edge hold on hardpack. The Cascade is remarkably smooth, but get it only if you prefer a dampened ride over electrically quick carving ability. U.S. $460; 800 881 3138 [U.S. and Canada only]; www.burton.com.
K2 El Dorado
Lengths: 155 to 174 Centimeters
Five years after its introduction to the market, this popular backcountry model continues to assert itself as the board of choice for many powder riders. That's because K2 has steadily improved the El Dorado, adding features such as rear torsion forks for directional stability last year and a new sintered graphite base for increased speed this year.
The Eldo excels in the deepest fluff; its Kevlar-reinforced wood core provides enough muscle to fight through wind slab and ice. This is a big-mountain free rider; that makes it very fast but not so forgiving as boards like Burton's Cascade or Arbor's Muñoz. U.S. $419; 800 972 4038 [U.S. and Canada only]; www.k2snowboards.com.
Salomon W5
Lengths: 156 to 168 Centimeters
Just because you wear a size-13 boot doesn't mean you have to ride a snowboard made for Patrick Ewing. Yes, the W5 is wide enough at the binding to keep your toes off the snow, but it comes in shorter lengths than other wide boards. Plus, the narrowest point on the W5 is actually forward of the midpoint, which helps it roll over with the snappy edge-to-edge precision of a narrower plank.
Salomon meets the need for extra stability that larger riders bring to the table by beefing up this board's birch core with carbon glass links. U.S. $500; 877 272 5666 [U.S. and Canada only]; www.salomonsports.com.

For the surf:
In a medium bowl, stir the crabmeat together with the mayonnaise, chili paste, cilantro, and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator.
For the turf: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Put a cast iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and get it hot. Drizzle in a 2-count of oil. If you choose to tie the fillets, take a piece of butchers twine and wrap it around each fillet twice to form a nice round shape. This will help the meat retain its shape while cooking. Sprinkle the beef all over with salt and pepper and sear for about 3 minutes on each side, until well browned. Shove the beef to the side and add the tomatoes to the pan; drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir gently to coat. Now put the pan in the oven and roast until the beef is rare and the tomatoes burst, 7 to 8 minutes. (Add 2 more minutes for medium rare, 5 more minutes for medium.)
For service: Wash the arugula and toss it in a bowl with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with a few turns of freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, arrange the steaks on a serving plate. Spoon the crab salad over the meat and scatter the tomatoes on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve with a small tangle of dressed arugula and a glass of rose wine.

STAFFORD - A Stafford Motor Speedway double set the plate for Keith Rocco to go for an elusive weekend triple.
Rocco, of Wallingford, won both the 40-lap NASCAR Whelen All-American Series SK Modified feature and the 30-lap Late Model feature Friday at Stafford, the first time in his career that he has won in two different divisions on the same night at Stafford.
Saturday at the Waterford Speedbowl Rocco will be looking to complete a milestone weekend.
Rocco, the reigning NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national champion, competes full-time in the SK Modified divisions at Stafford, Waterford and the Thompson International Speedway.
He won the 35-lap SK Modified feature Thursday at Thompson. He has never won SK Modified features in three consecutive days at the three tracks. He had the opportunity to complete the sweep the first weekend of June this season, but was involved in an early wreck in the SK Modified feature at Waterford.
The Speedbowl will run a special 100-lap SK Modified feature tonight.
"I want that [sweep] pretty bad," Rocco said. "At least I've won three this weekend [so far], it's not three SK [Modified] wins, but I'm going to be trying hard to do it. ... At least it's a time trial race and a long race. We're always good in the long races there. We'll see. If it's meant to be it's meant to be."
Friday the fourth SK Modified victory in seven starts this year at Stafford and his 12th victory in 24 SK Modified starts overall this year. Rocco went by Eric Berndt for the lead on lap 16 and led the rest of the way.
"He's a tough competitor, you can race side-by-side with him all day long," Rocco said. "If you've got to have somebody second challenging you Eric is the guy you want in second. You know you don't have to worry about getting wrecked or any bold moves."
Berndt, of Rocky Hill, was second. Ryan Preece of Berlin rallied after getting black flagged on lap 17 and finished third.
"Our car was good, it was a little bit better on the short run than it was on the long run," Berndt said. "[Rocco] was getting better as the run went on. We're making progress, we're getting there. A little bit more and maybe we'll get him next week."
