Large Format Printers
The SureColor Solvent 30600 is an extremely cost effective signage printer. It has been designed for the low-medium volume production of durable display and design material. It can be used with a wide range of media and is suitable for many applications including the production of advertising and POS displays, vehicle wraps, labels, furniture decals and interior/exterior surface finishes.
The SC-S30600 uses Epson's patented Thin Film MicroPiezo™ print head and pigment based UltraChrome Eco-Solvent ink technology. It features an extended gamut CMYK ink supply which uses large 700ml ink cartridges, adjustable multi-stage media heating, and a super-rigid chassis with advanced media management. It supports production speeds up to 29.4m2 /hr and with its low noise, low power consumption and low odour, it is suitable for operation in a variety of commercial, business and office environments.
Superior Image Quality & Durability
The SC-S30600 incorporates Epson's latest Thin-Film MicroPiezo print head. This head features 720 nozzles per colour and provides support for resolutions up to 1440x1440dpi. It is driven with Epson's Variable Dot Sizing and LUT Technology, which further enhances resolution while ensuring accurate colour reproduction and superior half toning.
The printer features an advanced chassis that is laser welded for superior strength and rigidity. It supports mesh printing up to 58.8m2/hr, high-speed banner production up to 29.4m2/hr and production Vinyl up to 14.7m2/hr up. Movement and distortion is minimised, even at the highest operational speeds, to ensure lower mechanical stress, improved print accuracy, and reduced noise. The stand incorporates advanced media feed and take-up systems that intelligently work together to manage throughput and tension. Media stress is minimised, dot placement accuracy is improved, large images maintain accurate size and shape, while banding is minimised.
The printer uses Epson's Eco-Solvent UltraChrome GS2 ink. This all-pigment ink incorporates no nickel or fluorine compounds for improved user safety and reduced VOC's for low odour. GS2 provides for a consistently dense finish with improved durability and light-fastness. With just 4 colours (CYMK) it can produce a gamut range that is equal or larger than many competing technologies with 6 to 8 inks. Prints produced with GS2 ink are more resistant to scratching and fading and have a lightfastness rating of 3 years*.
>Superior Production Flexibility & Cost
The SC-S30600 can be used to produce everything from posters, signs, banners, textiles, backlit panels, window displays and POS, to vehicle wraps, interior decorations, labels and exhibition displays. It will print on vinyl, canvas, clear film, photographic paper and a range of popular banner substrates in widths up to 64-inch (162.6cm).
The SC-S30600 has been designed for cost-competitive production requirements. It features a low purchase price and a durable long lasting print head. It uses four large 700ml ink cartridges and ships with a stand that supports media rolls of up to 40kg. Integrated lift assistance and a conveniently located platen lever enable easy one-person loading. The printer can be left to run unattended with remote e-mail notification of job completion and error conditions. It can be driven off a standard 240V supply and is Energy Star Compliant, using less power during operation and stand-by than previous and competing technologies.
* Epson does not provide a warranty on print durability and accepts no liability of any kind for fading or any other change in a print no matter how it is displayed.
Epson's three (3) year print durability statement is an estimate only, based on accelerated testing by Epson in a vertical display orientation in simulated outdoor display conditions in accordance with ISO standard 18930 (Check out www.iso.org for further detail).
The estimated three (3) year print durability does not apply to prints incorporating Epson's Orange, White and/or Metallic Silver inks and in particular, but without limitation, it will not apply to a print exposed horizontally to outdoor display conditions including sunlight and rain.
Actual print durability will depend on a variety of factors, including selection of media and lamination film, installation and application methods and environmental conditions. Exposure to factors such as high ultra violet radiation, high temperature and humidity and pollution will also affect print durability.
When selecting your media and film, Epson recommends you check with your media and film supplier for actual print durability in relation to its compatibility with Epson printers and inks. Some media providers, such as 3M® and Avery®, offer their own warranty in relation to image durability and you should refer to the relevant provider's website for further details of that warranty.

The Royal Winnipeg Rifles shared with Le Regiment de la Chaudiere the coveted honor of representation in battalion strength, as the Cana- dians, marching 10 abreast, swung past the saluting base.

"I declare that Yugoslavia is ready to co-operate and come to nn agrce- on a basis which will not be insulting or humiliating to Yugo- slavia." Tito told a Tass correspond- ent in Belgrade. At the same time, however, Tito expressed indignation and surprise over remarks by Marshal Sir Jlnr- old R L. G. Alexander following the refusal of Yugoslav occupation troops to quit Venizia Giulin. A Moscow despatch said the Soviet people learned of the Yugo- slav dispute today for the first time with publication in the official newspaper Pravdn of Alexanders statement and Tito's reply.

Gift the reading habit
The habit of reading can be a lifetime gift for your child.
Impressionable minds can be nurtured and molded in ways more than one. But books and the printed word are among the best tools used for reaching out to a child. Despite the deep penetrating reach of the visual media, books have a definite edge over other mediums of communication and entertainment. Child psychologists and counselors have often stressed the importance of the reading habit in modern-day children.
However, it
is quite obvious that the book culture is on the decline. Parents need
to resurrect this habit as it adds multiple dimensions to a child's growth.
As books are good
portable friends, which have the potential of engaging a child's mind,
they can broaden the sphere of experience. A quick read of the adventures
of Sindbad, or Alibaba or Robin Hood transports the child to different
worlds. He or she can relate to new and thrilling experiences, quite different
from everyday happenings. The variety in the book reading is bound to reflect
in the child's knowledge.
Reading sharpens
the thought processes of a child. It increases his or her attention span.
It gives him the faculty of thinking and understanding.
Language is a
gift for a child and books give this gift in abundance. Reading a book
aloud can be a good exercise not just for memorization but also for improvement
of speech and vocabulary. Books trigger a child's imagination.
Bedtime reading
is considered the best quality time spent with a kid. Psychiatrists feel
that bedtime reading helps to build strong bonding with the child.
The printed
word is not the sole reservoir of knowledge. Television, Internet and other
modern audio-visual media also contribute to the child's growth. However,
reading should compliment other mediums. Otherwise, it leads to lopsided
development. Just consider these shocking statistics. A 1998 survey of American children showed that 54 per cent chose to watch television when given the
options of either watching TV and being with parents. The average American
child (between two to 11 years of age) spends around 1,197 minutes per
week watching television. Closer home, Indian children fare no better than
their American counterparts. Doctors have found that children suffered
because of the habit of eating during television time. Children have missed
exams and outdoor sports due to their favorite teleserials. TV time also
takes its toll on children's eyesight.

Home prices rose between May and June in the Seattle metropolitan area and every other city tracked by the closely watched Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller index, another sign that the housing market is improving.
Seattle-area prices were up 1.8 percent month-over-month, the fourth straight monthly increase. They also were up 1.8 percent compared with June 2011, the second consecutive year-over-year rise. The Seattle metropolitan area includes King, Snohomish and Pierce counties.
Case-Shiller's 20-city composite index was up 2.3 percent month over month and 0.5 percent year over year. All 20 cities saw prices increase between May and June — the most recent month for which information is available — and 14 saw increases compared with the same month in 2011.
"We seem to be witnessing exactly what we needed for a sustained recovery; monthly increases coupled with improving annual rates of change. The market may have finally turned around," said David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

The Seattle area's Case-Shiller score for June was 139.89, meaning prices were 39.89 percent higher than in January 2000. It was the region's highest score since November 2010. The region's highest score, 192.30, came in July 2007. Its lowest score since the real-estate bubble burst, 128.99, came this February.
Seattle's June results were in the middle of the pack when compared with the other 19 cities Case-Shiller tracks.
Thirteen metropolitan areas had bigger monthly increases, led by Detroit at 6 percent. Ten saw bigger year-over-year rises, topped by Phoenix at 13.9 percent — the only double-digit increase.

NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter tied a career high with five RBIs, CC Sabathia earned his 19th win and the New York Yankees polished off a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays with a 9-3 victory Sunday.
Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher all homered for the AL East leaders, while Sabathia struck out 10 in 7 1-3 innings to win his seventh consecutive start against Toronto.
One big reason for that success: Sabathia has dominated his matchups with slugger Jose Bautista. The major league home run leader is 0 for 18 with eight strikeouts against the big lefty after going hitless in three tries Sunday.
Bautista did hit a colossal homer off Rafael Soriano in the eighth, cutting it to 5-3 and joining Carlos Delgado (1999, 2000) as the only Blue Jays to sock 40 home runs in successive seasons.

'bent riders are encouraged to post long distance appropriate topics in this forum. In turn, we reserve the right to post some good natured yet stale recumbent-related jokes. The recently completed ToC looked like it was one of the most recumbent friendly 1200k's of recent memory, and I saw that there were quite a few people on 'bents participating
I just said the stale jokes thing for Steamer's benefit, because he told me my beard and belly jokes were non-starters. He has neither, unlike me
For the last three summers I rode at least one of my monthly centuries on a recumbent, the last one came to about 150 miles. After that I packed the recumbent up and sent it back to the friend who had lent it to me three years ago. To get any real power I had to push really hard against the seat. My weight was of no help (or more likely I don't have enough of it). I ended up with a very sore back. I'm not saying recumbents are bad, but they involve trading one advantage for another, and one discomfort for another, and so on. If that's for you, go for it. I decided it's not for me.
Why are we talking about recumbents, again?
As for OP's problem, I recommend fatter tires at lower pressure, maybe a different saddle, and a close look at fit. If this discomfort happens again, consider seeing a doctor.
But I'll agree that there isn't a perfect bike for everyone, recumbent or not.
Leaving original in context, but what I meant to say is that there isn't a single kind of bike that is perfect for everyone.
I remain convinced there is a perfect bike for everyone. The trick is to really understand fit; and I, for one, am still working on this. Numb feet, for example, sounds like a shoe and/or pedal issue. I've had that. Foot pain sucks.

Title IX: Promises Still Unfulfilled
Fox, Connie, JOPERD--The Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance
When a law is enacted for the purpose of changing social values, the law causes great controversy. Title IX was enacted in 1972, and has been controversial since. Some believe it is morally wrong to "support girls' sports on the budget of boys' football"; wrong to insist that girls have sports; wrong to make a big deal about sports anyway! Others believe it is necessary to allow girls the opportunity to decide for themselves whether sports are important in their lives; necessary to allow for equal opportunity. Regardless of the controversy, those girls who were entering school in the 1970s are the first generation to benefit from Title IX.
Recently, Title IX has received its greatest praise. It has demonstrated to the world that girls and women who also are given the opportunity and encouragement to participate in athletics can succeed. The number of women in the recent Olympic games was an all-time high, and the U.S. women who were given athletic opportunities through Title IX were also a greater presence. Not only were there more U.S. women, but they were more successful than ever before. Clearly, the effects of Title IX have been demonstrated and hailed.
However, the thrust for equity in athletic opportunity is a component of Title IX that has not reached full potential. Discrepancies in collegiate funding for male and female athletes is widely known. Much has been written on the difficulty a school faces in being equitable to its students and fielding a football team. But collegiate athletics is not the only place to find Title IX violations or lack of enforcement.
Well-intentioned educational administrators view the responsibility to provide equitable athletic opportunities as a trivial matter. They believe these opportunities are important only for the highly skilled, competitive athlete. In most cases, the most highly skilled and most competitive athletes have been male. However, the women at the 1996 Olympics showed girls everywhere that high skill levels and high competence are available to girls. It is a shame that girls still need to ask for the same opportunity provided to boys.
Recent Nike commercials have probably raised more awareness of gender inequity than the passage of Title IX did. In one commercial, several girls repeat "if you let me play" while explaining the mental, physical, and social benefits from vigorous physical activity. Would a boy ever ask to be allowed to play? Other commercials focused on the competitive nature of sports and the excellence of women in those sports. But competition and sports are not the only arena for girls provided by Title IX. All physical activity must be available to girls and women.
Elementary and secondary education programs are often in violation of Title IX. It is still common to find boys wrestling and girls dancing, but extremely rare to find girls learning to wrestle while boys dance. Usually, program administrators claim ignorance until someone challenges the inequity.
In the following letter, taken from the Chicago Sun Times (Monday, April 29, 1996), a young female athlete expressed why participation is so much more than competition. As girls across the country become motivated to play or to compete from watching some of the outstanding performances of the women Olympians, let us hope that they too will be vocal and supportive of Title IX the way Carlee Bator is. …

Kashgar Travel Guide: 116 reviews and 273 photos
After crossing the Kunjherab coming from Pakistan I finally arrived in Kashgar. This whole trip has been a dream come true! In Kashgar I left behind the overwhelming landscapes of the Himalayas and arrived at the big Taklamakan Desert.
Kashgar is more Uigur than Chinese. Highlight is the big Sunday Market. It is a colorful and exotic world. Orient at its best.
I had the luck and the privilege to visit Kashgar for a second time in my life! On my tour in June 2007 a day-trip to Karakul Lake on Karakorum Highway and a visit of the cattle market were highlights, which brought tears of happiness to my eyes!
Many things have changed in Kashgar since 1992! I'll try to show the differences. I like this bustling oasis in Taklamakan Desert. Kashgar is definitely worth a visit. Now and in future!

Summary of Blue Ocean Strategy
How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant
Harvard Business Review Press, 2005 more...
Pages: 256
Blue Ocean Strategy takes you beyond the sea, where innovative products prove relatively safe from competition in markets that never before existed. W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne – strategy professors at France's INSEAD business school – offer a breakthrough strategic manual. The blue ocean approach begins with a "strategy canvas," a graphic representation of your and your competitors' products. Finding the blue ocean market – and avoiding the common, cutthroat, bloody "red ocean" – means exploiting rivals' shortcomings and offering new value to customers. Business leaders must look beyond numbers to see their products as consumers do. Using the strategy canvas, reconstruct the boundaries of your market, discard basic assumptions about where demand occurs and then capitalize on budding trends. Australia's Casella Wines created the fastest growing label in history in part by abandoning the traditional, elitist appeal of wines based on complex taste and vineyard locale. With its sweeter, fruitier Yellow Tail brand, Casella marketed wine to beer and cocktail drinkers. It differentiated its product by promoting wine as fun. This new approach entailed changes to the product, and – crucially – relied on a strategy that opened new sources of demand, enabling Casella to enter a market relatively free of competition. Kim and Mauborgne offer varied, compelling examples which engage readers and ground theory in practice. They demonstrate the wide applicability of their strategy and utilize fresh research to apply innovation-based tactics in older, more established industries. Providing basic points that new managers can readily grasp, backed by complex – and jargon-soaked – business principles for intrepid strategists, the authors guide far-reaching marketplace thinking at all levels of experience. getAbstract recommends their approach to any tactician, marketer or entrepreneur, especially those whose companies face stiff competition. Sail on.
Comment on this recommendation
5 months agoAudio not working.
1 year agoAbsolutely concise and to the point review - thank you
3 years agoI've read this summary on a number of occasions and believe its fundamental principles. To truly implement blue ocean requires full engagement across all departments. Best implemented by a leader of an organization down through the entire company. Difficult sometimes to implement within a specific division. The reason I say this is that there are not many organizations that have the patience for what this strategy requires. It's disappointing because blue Ocean strategy is where profits and brands are built.

According to Jacque Exertier from Ubisoft, their latest Rabbids title is a significant departure from the mini-game fests we're used to, and core gamers should get something out of Rabbids Go Home.
"Core Nintendo gamers should enjoy the controls and variety in gameplay as well as the open progressive structure. We're working to make Rabbids Go Home easy to learn, hard to master, in the finest Nintendo tradition".
The latest edition of the official Nintendo magazine offers up some new details on the game:
Reports say Ubisoft took almost a year to decide in which direction to go with this Rabbids title, let's hope it results in a winner.

The five soldiers accused of killing three Afghan civilians over a period of months earlier this year allegedly threw grenades at them and shot them with rifles, according to charging papers released Wednesday by Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
Five soldiers accused of murdering three Afghan civilians earlier this year allegedly threw grenades at them and shot them with rifles, according to charging papers released Wednesday by Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
Two of the soldiers also are accused of beating a fellow soldier who might have been an informant, while a third is accused of trying to impede the investigation by asking a colleague to erase a computer hard drive which contained evidence of the crimes.
The slayings in January, February and May come as a blow to the credibility of the U.S. military as it seeks to win over local populations in advance of a major campaign in the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar.
The five soldiers all come from the same unit at Lewis-McChord — the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment of the 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team.

All the killings took place at or near Forward Operating Base Ramrod in Kandahar Province, according to charging papers. No motives are offered for the killings.
Two soldiers are accused of being involved in all of the killings while three are each accused of being involved in one killing. No more soldiers are expected to face charges in the case, said Lt. Col. Tamara Parker, a spokeswoman at Lewis-McChord.
At some point in January, according to the charging papers, Spc. Jeremy Morlock, Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs and Pfc. Andrew Holmes threw a grenade and fired at Afghan Gul Mudin, killing him.
On February 22, Morlock, Gibbs and Spc. Michael Wagnon fired upon and killed Marach Agha, charging papers say. And then on May 2, Morlock, Gibbs and Spc. Adam Winfield threw a grenade and fired upon Mullah Adahdad, killing him, according to the charges.
Three days after the final killing, Morlock and Gibbs are accused of hitting, kicking and spitting at a fellow soldier. That same month, Wagnon allegedly tried to have the hard drive erased.
Four of the soldiers have now been returned from Afghanistan and are being held in pretrial confinement at Lewis-McChord. The fifth soldier, Gibbs, was charged last week in Kuwait and is being transported back to the Washington base.
"Sometimes soldiers do not live up to the values that we would expect," Parker said. "These men are charged with very serious crimes. I'm not aware of another case like this."
The investigation comes as Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander, has focused on trying to reduce civilian casualties caused by U.S. and other NATO forces, which has been a major concern of the Afghan government.
Parker said she knows "there is a lot of concern" about how the case will play out in Afghanistan.
Agence France-Presse, citing two unnamed officials, said the assault allegations involve one soldier who blew the whistle on his comrades over possible drug use and then suffered a severe beating in retaliation. While recovering in hospital, that soldier recounted his comrades' alleged role in the deaths of the three Afghan civilians, according to the two officials.
Parker said that in the case of Morlock, the first of the men charged, the base already has called for an Article 32 hearing — the military equivalent of a grand jury. A hearing date has yet to be set.
A military magistrate has reviewed Morlock's pretrial confinement and concluded it's warranted given the seriousness of the allegations, Parker said. Because the military doesn't have a bail system, that means he likely will remain locked up until his case is concluded.
Premeditated murder, the crime that the soldiers are charged with, is the most serious of four murder charges that can be levied under the military code of justice, according to Eugene Fidell, who teaches military law at Yale University. It carries the death penalty.
In cases involving multiple soldiers, military prosecutors, like their civilian counterparts, may sometimes cut deals with some defendants to gain evidence against other defendants.
"The prosecutors' door is likely to open, and they may have to make some wrenching decisions about whom to make a deal with to gain evidence," Fidell said.
The five soldiers were part of a 3,800-strong brigade that headed over to southern Afghanistan last July and plunged into the thick of the fighting. The brigade has lost 36 soldiers, including seven from the 2nd Battalion. Gibbs and Wagnon were each on their third deployment, while Morlock, Winfield and Holmes were each on their first. Morlock, 22, is from Wasilla, Alaska; Gibbs 25, is from Billings, Mont.; Wagnon, 29, is from Las Vegas; Holmes, 19, is from Boise, Idaho, and Winfield, 21, is from Cape Coral, Fla.
Greg Gilbert, a spokesman for the Holmes family, said Holmes has sought legal counsel since May 26, but the Army has yet to grant his request. Gilbert described the teen soldier as "a very good young man."
"I don't hold any stock in these charges," Gilbert said.
Morlock's brother on Wednesday declined to comment. Morlock, a former high-school hockey player, has faced previous charges in the U. S. Two years ago, his wife sought a domestic-violence protective order against him. Last year, he was charged with assault and disorderly conduct and found guilty of the latter charge. When he was 15, Morlock was charged in Alaska with leaving the scene of an accident involving an injury or death and received a deferred prosecution.

Update Notes

Since we last visited JeansVeryTight...
Most porn, as well as most men's lives, is based around the idea of trying to get chicks to take their pants off. Jeans Very Tight has decided to switch it up and focus on hot babes putting their pants on.
It's kind of like someone took a softcore non-nude porn scene and put it in reverse. Instead of starting off with a girl in a pair of tight jeans and having her remove them over the course of the scene until she ends up in her panties, these babes start in their panties and work their way to the end of the scene by putting on a pair of very tight jeans that show off their hot asses.
How can it take a chick five minutes to put on a pair of jeans, you ask? Well, the ones on JeansVeryTight really take their time with it. They pull them up partway, pose a bit and then work them up a little more, emphasizing their ass and the tightness of the denim. Then, at the end of the scene, they spend a little time showing off their handiwork.
I have to say that I appreciated the content. It was definitely a change of pace from what I normally look at and for those of you into the whole non-nude tease thing, these chicks seem to enjoy knowing that you're watching.
There are currently 50 videos and photo galleries. The movies can't be streamed, but they can be downloaded in three Windows Media formats, including two that offer 1080p HD playback. The pics are high-res images that can be downloaded in Zip files.
You don't get any bonus sites. Instead there's a pricier membership option that includes five other jean sites. All you get is a blog and it's for the entire network. But at least it confirmed what I already suspected about updates: You get something new once or twice a month.
In the end Jeans Very Tight isn't that expensive, even after converting the membership from Euros to USD. And both the 30 and 90 rebills are much lower. Yes, the site isn't huge, but the content's original. You might not stick around indefinitely, but you'll definitely have fun if you like hot babes in denim.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

text: 338 FXUS65 KPUB 300523 AFDPUB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1123 PM MDT SUN MAY 29 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 237 PM MDT Sun May 29 2016 ...Chance for strong to severe thunderstorms increases for Monday across the plains... Embedded shortwave ejecting northeast into CO has fired off showers and thunderstorms over the mountains. Strongest convection this afternoon is expected to fire along and east of a dryline across the far eastern counties. SPC meso analysis shows around 1500-2500 J/kg across the far southeast counties of eastern Las Animas, Baca and Prowers counties as of 20z. Effective bulk shears will be running around 30-40 kts, especially if sfc winds can shift a bit southeasterly, so potential exists for an isolated severe thunderstorm through the early evening. Otherwise, expect isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms with some small hail and gusty winds possible. Thunderstorms should diminish overnight. Monday will be a similar set up to today. Upper low over SW CA will move eastward into AZ, at the same time a northern stream upper trof drops into the northern U.S. Rockies. With approach of these systems, suspect sfc winds will stay more southeasterly on Monday which may serve to keep 40s to mid 50 sfc dew points across the southeast plains to the north of a sfc boundary which will run along the highway 50 corridor, southeastward to Kim by afternoon. Mid level winds look a little weak, which may limit deep layer shear some. But with CAPES running from 800-2000+ J/KG, this could lead to a couple severe thunderstorms again Monday afternoon. Best threat area will be to the east of La Junta, but depending on how much low level moisture can be maintained farther west, its possible that portions of El Paso county could see a strong to severe thunderstorm Monday afternoon as well. Highest pops will be across the mountains, El Paso county and the far eastern plains Monday afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 237 PM MDT Sun May 29 2016 ...Wet weather for Tuesday/Tuesday Night for SE Mountains/Adjacent Plains... Upper low across MT/WY will move eastward into the Dakotas by Tues morning while trailing trof/upper low slowly meanders eastward over AZ. Northern stream system will drop a cold front through the southeast plains Monday night/Tuesday morning, though initially appears northerly surge will be influenced more by convective outflows from thunderstorms along the Palmer Divide and northeast CO, with cooler air lagging until late Monday night/Tuesday morning. Will keep thunderstorms going across the southeast plains as there will probably be enough convergence along the boundary for thunderstorm initiation. Best chance for any severe thunderstorms Monday evening will be east of La Junta again where deeper moisture will reside. Could also see a strong storm or two along the Palmer Divide, but this will depend on how much low level moisture is maintained. Models in better agreement on Tuesday, driving the front well southward into NE NM by 18z Tues. Should see upslope showers/thunderstorms develop over the southeast mountains fairly early in the day. However, suspect that Northerly surface winds will also send some modestly drier air into the southeast plains during the afternoon. Theta E ridge/axis of higher dew points will likely reside across NE NM/TX Panhandle region, along and north of the frontal boundary. Still plenty of moisture/instability over the mountain, particularly the SE Mts, for fairly widespread showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday. Could be a strong storm or two over the mountains as well though think CAPE is overdone in the NAM. Both NAM and GFS carry precipitation into the overnight hours across the southeast mountains/adjacent plains, though 12z GFS looks convectively contaminated after 06z given its over an inch bulls eye over the Pikes Peak region and Wet mountains. More likely scenario will be for focus to be shifting southward along the SE Mts/I-25 corridor during the overnight hours with Wets and southern Sangre De Cristo mountains seeing max precipitation during the overnight hours. Main concern besides a strong to marginally severe storm or two Tuesday afternoon will be the potential for heavy rainfall on area burn scars. NE flow would tend to favor the Wets and Sangres for this risk...but Waldo burn scar will also be under the threat. Otherwise far eastern plains may end up being too cool and stable for much more than isolated rain showers Tuesday/Tuesday night. Snow levels Tuesday night look to stay around 10kft, possibly dropping to 9Kft Wednesday morning. Higher elevations above 10kft could pick up several inches of wet snow. Wednesday looks cool and stable across the plains, but continued unsettled over the mountains with another round of scattered showers and thundestorms. Upper ridge will build over the western U.S from Thursday through next weekend bringing a good warm up for the region. Still enough moisture for isolated to low end scattered thunderstorms mainly over the mountains each day. -KT && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1118 PM MDT Sun May 29 2016 VFR conditions expected at taf sites overnight, with light drainage flows developing by sunrise Mon. Tsra will develop over the higher terrain after 18z Mon, with a few storms spreading to lower elevations late in the day. KCOS has the best chance for a storm during the day, though have included a vcts mention at all taf sites for a few hrs mid/late afternoon. Main threat with any storms will be gusty outflow winds, as low levels along I-25 and and westward will stay fairly dry.

"Aswan - Egypts most southern city!" Aswan by K.Knight
Aswan Travel Guide: 638 reviews and 2,143 photos
I had heard that the Sound and Light show at the Philae Temple was nothing less than garbage, and they were right! However, I still believe that you should attend the show to simply see this Temple at night, lit up in all its glory.
The sound show is very boring indeed but the light show is certainly entertaining and your attention is drawn to different aspects of the temple that light up in some fantastic colours.
The bus collects you from your hotel and takes you out of town to a dock area. A boat will then whisk you around the island to where you are met with a spectacular view of the illuminated Philae Temple, built for the cult God Isis.
The sound and light show then begins with the "Gods" speaking to each other about this beautiful Temple and why it was built to honor Isis…Blah, Blah and Blah! You are invited by the gods to enter the Temple and you are then led around by the voices of the gods and the lights pointing the way by illuminating the path in front of you.
Want to get a look at the real life of an Egyptian? Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Aswan. Want to get away from the constant hawkers that are attempting to sell you their wares or take you for a ride in their buggy, camel, horse, taxi or just about anything else that moves? Then catch a ferry to the west bank!
Day to day life can be very harsh for a local here. Tending to their half dozen goats or their two cows and a donkey in their run down basic houses, these local people go about their daily tasks without as much as a whimper.
The only fences for the livestock are the river on one side or the never ending desert on the other.
You can not get this experience tucked up in the air-conditioned room of your flash hotel!
The Nubian Museum, although small, is very fascinating. Some say it is the most important museum in all of Egypt! The Nubian people lost almost their entire land when the High Dam was built and these people were relocated.
Outlining the culture of the Nubian people, and their complex culture, this museum was built to thank the Nubians for "giving up their land" for the greater good of Egypt. The museum can be covered in one or two hours at a leisurely pace.
- Pros:Departure point for Abu Simbel.
- Cons:Hot......Very, Very, Very HOT!
- In a nutshell:A spectacular and beautiful part of Egypt.

Glad you managed to see so much- and some that we never managed to see.
You had a great time here! Good photo's, thought the reliefs & carvings looked in good condition. Like you, I hunt out places like the "west bank" too, these places are really interesting!
Hi, Enjoyed your account of the Philae sound/light show. This and other southern Egypt places are on my wish list. Thanks for the tips, Mike
I should be visiting Aswan in June so I'll check out your tips before I go. Interesting tip about the tombs of the nobles.

A renovated Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson schools building that will house an alternative academy and an adult education center should be open by next school year.
The school district plans to spend about $300,000 renovating the Ragsdale building, a former administration building now used for storage, by adding Internet access and creating classroom space.
Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson currently offers alternative courses for four students who struggled in traditional classes through the Educational Resource Center in Edinburgh. But Superintendent Matt Prusiecki wants to create an alternative program that's open to more students.
By renovating the Ragsdale building, the school district could offer the alternative program to as many as 15 students, Prusiecki said.
The work also will allow the school district to open an adult education center.
The center would be open to current Indian Creek High School students who wanted to take the courses offered. But the school district also wants to provide classes for former students, including those who dropped out, who want to make up courses they missed or begin work on a college degree, Prusiecki said. The school district has started having conversations with Ivy Tech Community College about course options.
"The focus will be some high school courses, but we're looking definitely at adult education," Prusiecki said.
Specific details about who could enroll in the alternative academy or adult education center are still being worked out. The renovated building would likely have room for a total of 50 to 75 students between the alternative academy and adult education center.
The renovation is one of about $1.7 million in projects Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson has planned for next semester. Plans for the projects were approved by the school board last week and now the school district is gathering construction bids.
Those bids should be in by next month, and if they're approved, construction on the projects could begin by the spring, Prusiecki said.
The projects are being paid for with a $2 million general obligation bond the school board approved earlier this year. Because the school district is paying off debt, the tax rate shouldn't be affected, Prusiecki said. The tax rate would likely have gone down if the school district wasn't borrowing the money.
The architecture firm Lancer and Beebe conducted a facilities study for Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson earlier this year, and the school district's highest priority is to replace the heating and air conditioning system at Indian Creek High School. That system has been in place since 1965, and replacing it will cost about $1 million, Prusiecki said.
Prusiecki wants the renovations to the Ragsdale building as well as the other upgrades complete by the time the 2013-2014 school year starts. Then the school district can consider whether it needs to borrow additional money for other projects.
The renovations and projects Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson is planning to complete next semester are the school district's highest priorities. But Prusiecki also has concerns about older buildings such as the elementary school, which could eventually need a new heating and air conditioning system as well, he said.
