Q&A: Former OSU standout Terrel Harris
Terrel Harris has played on plenty of basketball teams. From AAU to Oklahoma State, from overseas to the developmental league, it's been a long hoops journey in a short period of time.
But nothing compares to what he experienced this season as a member of the highly scrutinized and constantly analyzed Miami Heat.
From his first day in training camp to his arrival in Oklahoma City for this year's NBA Finals, Harris has seen a lot. At Monday's media day, he talked about some of those experiences:
Q: It's got to be crazy to be a part of this team. Is it the media circus that it appears to be?
A: It's not a circus, I'll tell you that much. I know how it is because I was on the outside like all you guys were, on the outside looking in. So I know what it seems like. But now that I'm here, I mean this is the most structured, disciplined place ever. This organization is strict, very well disciplined and it's a family. Nothing at all what it's made up to be.
Does that come from the top and Pat Riley?
Yeah, he's a very disciplined person, and Coach Spoelstra is very disciplinary, very mental, you always have to be prepared. That's what we preach. You put that with athleticism and talent and you have the Miami Heat.
You mentioned family-oriented, this seems like a tight-knit bunch, despite the outside distractions.
This is definitely a family. That's the first thing that I felt when I came here. We had Christmas dinners and stuff together. We do everything together and that goes a long way. It's really showing now.
What's it like to play with a once-in-a-lifetime-type talent like LeBron James?
It's a special moment man. I can't even describe it. Just a special, special player.
What's your best LeBron story? The one you will be telling your kids.
Man, I've seen him do so much in this one season. One thing I will always remember is we were in Milwaukee playing the Bucks. He was hyped for some reason, he said he feels good in Milwaukee, like he scores a lot, everything falls for him. One year he had like 60-something and he was pulling from everywhere, hitting crazy jump shots. And he was showing me the highlights on YouTube. Then he came out, and I swear, he was doing the same moves that game. Like five or six times in a row, the same move and he kept making it. And all I could do was laugh with him.
How has your perception of LeBron changed, from being on the outside to knowing him personally?
You know, I never judge people. I didn't know how he would be. But now that I met him and been around him for six months, he's probably the most humble superstar you will ever meet. He has to be a certain way because he has so much attention on him and he has to be a certain way, but when you are there in the locker room with him, he's great. Me and him are back and forth sometimes, not arguing, but he cracks jokes on me and I say something back. It's like a brotherhood, he's like a big brother. Him and D-Wade and all these guys are like big brothers more than anything.

FFP...and how to avoid its penalties.
United are not threatened by FFP and wouldn't be even if they were paying Ronaldo. The three clubs mostly threatened by FFP in the Prem are, in order of bad finances in the last few years: City, Chelsea, Liverpool.
RobertSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
If UniTURD are not threatened by FFP how come all the talk of how they can find a way around signing Ronaldo by having him bought and paid for and contracted to eg owned by one of their sponsors? This was officially anarticle on Yahoo Sport just yesterday. The point I was making is that FFP will as Ive stated for many months now be absolutely toothless whenit comes up against the creative accountancy firms the BIG BOYS all employ. Only way around it would be for FFP to be constantly updated daily to try and plug the many loopholes the BIG boys will drive double decker buses through. No idea why u think everyone is naive enough to "playfair" ?

That would then mean that Ronaldo was employed by a "third party", something the new rules won't allow (I believe).
It is a mistake to read opinion written in yahoo sport articles as gospel fact. Big mistake. Huge.

Based on the information we currently have I'd say your right Robert, and it's well illustrated by the link:
Rank by cash flow and you've got a pretty good proxy to measure the order of who is, or who should be concerned about FFP.
However this is based on dated information (2010-11 financial statements) and the picture might be very different for some clubs now. We don't know for sure, but for example Chelsea turned a profit for the first time in years, so your concern might be a little more relaxed, and we all know our wage bill has come down dramatically in the last 12 months or so.
On the other side QPR are not listed here and may not be in danger of qualifying for Europe, but will still be subject to the domestic version of FFP whatever that is, and we all know they've been spending like drunken sailors and I can't image they have a huge income with a gate of less than 25K per match. I'd also be curious on where Spurs are right now. This report shows them very healthy; however they've been spending like a CL club for the last several seasons, but have not got the CL income each and every one of those seasons.

New Delhi, Nov 29 (PTI)
Crude palm oil futures prices today fell by 1 per cent to Rs 424.40 per 10 kg amid profit- booking by speculators at prevailing levels.
Subdued demand in the local markets also put pressure on the prices, traders said.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm oil for delivery in November fell by Rs 4.10, or a per cent, to Rs 424.
40 per 10 kg in a business turnover of 491 lots.
Similarly, the oil for delivery in December traded higher by Rs 4.30, or 0.98 per cent, to Rs 43,260 per 10 kg in a trade volume of 795 lots.
Analysts attributed profit-booking by speculators at prevailing level and subdued demand in the domestic market for crude palm oil prices to trade at lower levels at futures.

"The outside kennels need to be completely remodeled or replaced as the concrete is deteriorating, the drain at the end is too small, partitions are not of adequate height or construction and there are sharp edges and points from damage to fencing and metal work. Due to gaps between the top of the kennel doors and the top cover there appears to be plenty of opportunity for escape and injury."

In 1992, collectibles dealer Chuck Faulkner made an unusual discovery in a bag that was discarded from a storage unit in Kissimmee. It was filled with close to 170 paintings by Harry J. Sonntag, who was also known as the Hermit Artist of Key Largo.
The woman who had cleaned out the unit said she and her husband had found the bag under a bed in a rooming house in St. Thomas in 1960.
Faulkner was intrigued by the artwork, as well as the photos of the artist and newspaper clippings from the Miami News dated 1952, 53, and 54 that were also in the bag. He began to do some digging into the life of the artist and brought the collection back to Key Largo.
When you open up a bag of artwork that somebody is ready to throw away and find this guys life just laid out there, you realize that theres a person there and a story to be told, Faulkner said.
In July 2000, four pieces of art and a history board about Sonntag were displayed at the City Hall in Kissimmee. Soon after, a local woman, Lyda Hadley, contacted Faulkner and told him that she knew Sonntag in the 1950s in the Keys. She gave him photos of Sonntag working in his studio, at his gallery and at his home tending the garden. She also passed on a signed watercolor and an essay that she did on Sonntag for a creative writing class in 1952.
Sonntag was born in Astoria, N.Y., on Oct. 12, 1900. When he was 16 he started his art studies in New York City at the Pratt Institute and later at the Art Students League. He left New York in the 40s because he felt like the artists were copying each others styles and there were no fresh ideas.
He didnt want any influence, so the only way to not have any influence was to get away from artists altogether, Faulkner said.
For almost 10 years he traveled around the United States, visiting New England, Arizona, California and Washington. He lived in the Devils Lake area of Wisconsin for three years before settling in Key Largo in 1948 or 1949.
Sonntag built a wooden shack from driftwood and other debris down by the bay near Rock Harbor. He grew a garden and lived off the land, and fishermen would often throw him a fish or a turtle to eat. Faulkner said that he talked to locals who recalled that Sonntag always had a fire going, so he could use the smoke to cover his body and keep off the mosquitoes.
In Hadleys essay, she paints an interesting picture of how Sonntag viewed his place in nature. When she was visiting him, he called a pelican that was always around his camp his guardian angel.
Whenever Im hungry, she comes along and shows me right where the fish are, he said.
When a hurricane was approaching the Keys, Hadley tried to persuade him to come to Miami, but he wouldnt budge. He said, No, this is my place here, with nature, and nature will take care of me. The old pelican is not going to Miami, why should I?
When she returned to the Keys after the storm, the area was demolished, but the pelican was still there sitting on a rock, basking in the sun with Sonntag nearby cooking fish.
Sonntag took over an abandoned key lime packing shed along U.S. 1, where Anthonys clothing store is today, and converted it into the Key Largo Art Gallery. It was one of the first art galleries in the Keys.
He painted what he saw around him every day using vivid watercolor paints and fluid brushstrokes. He often portrayed the local fishermen at work and the natural scenery, creating a visual history of the Keys during that time. Faulkner said that some of the works had prices on the back that ranged from $55 to $65.
Many of the works in the collection portray places that are recognizable like the waterfront of Rock Harbor, which was known for its commercial and private fishing, as well as the Mandalay. He also painted Rustys, which was a bait and tackle shop on Tavernier Creek near the bridge and the Upper Keys Sailing Club. While he was at an art show in Key West, he even painted the street where he was selling his works.
In 1952, Sonntag told the Miami News, Art is the universal language, and my desire is to bring beauty to the multitude so people may realize how lovely is this world.
In 1955, the Key Largo Art Gallery burned, and Sonntag told everyone that his lifes work was in the building. But Faulkner has photos of the gallerys interior that shows many of the paintings now in Faulkners collection, so the collector knows that wasnt true.
An article ran in a Homestead newspaper with a headline that said, Famous art gallery destroyed by fire Saturday. Faulkner didnt find out about the gallery burning until about five years ago, when historian Jerry Wilkinson found that article while doing research.
After his gallery burned down, Sonntag moved to the Virgin Islands, and Faulkner has several works from his stay there, which came with the other paintings. Sonntag then went on to St. Petersburg, where he died in 1991, just one year before the collection was found. Faulkner has found no other works by the artist.
I wonder if he was sitting in St. Pete frustrated and asking what happened to this art, Faulkner said. Did it get thrown away? Did it get destroyed? And it was sitting only 70 miles away in a storage unit.
It is fitting that Sonntags works are now on display at the current Key Largo Art Gallery. Faulkner is selling prints from the collection, but he has not sold any originals. His goal is to keep the works together and find them a home where their historical value will be highlighted.
This story needed to be told, and this work needed to be seen down here, Faulkner said. Its part of this history.

Caring parents help school partnerships
Regarding "Public-private efforts crucial for schools" (Point of View, March 16): Oklahoma City School Board member Phil Horning is right on many points regarding the school district. However, notably absent from his perspective was the word "parents." Perhaps this was unintentional because it's taken for granted; or perhaps it was intentional because the district has a low view of parents. I hope it was the former. If it was the latter, I hope our community leaders can encourage our district decision-makers that parents come in all ages and backgrounds; most I've met are lifelong learners who want the best for their children.
Recalling 1998, two schools were opened at the behest of parents who sought "solid food" for their children via the Core Knowledge curriculum. Belle Isle Enterprise Middle School and Independence Charter Middle School continue today and are strong examples of the most basic public-private partnership: parents who care. Ask these parents and they'll tell you what can be done on limited budgets.
Oklahoma City is a great place. As a community we need to keep on encouraging every parent to be the best parent possible. This effort can reap the best result of the most basic public-private partnership in education.
Barbara Bowersox, Oklahoma City
Bowersox was a founding board member of Belle Isle Enterprise Middle School.

1950's LP Cities Service 50th Anniversary-Jubilee MarchesVinyl Near Mint Jacket Near Mint Sleeve Original Label RCA Custom Records Special Pressing Year 1950's Original Yes While the marches are fine pieces, this is a rare piece for a petroliana collector in general, or a Cities Service collector in particular. Record and jacket are in superb condition and would make a fine addition to any collection. A rare piece that you can enjoy for years to come. Record condition is superb and the fidelity is true to life. My records are graded by traditional Goldmine standards. I don't sell records with a grading of less than VG unless it is obscenely rare in any condition. Most of my records will grade from VG+ to M- with a conservative approach that dictates a borderline record will receive a lower grading rather than a "push" higher. M- / Visually without blemishes save for very minor lines or scuffs that are most likely attributable to sleeve marks, Sonically with no or virtually no sound other than that of the recording itself (no pops,crackles, ticks or hissing). VG+ / More obvious visual signs of imperfections, pressing imperfections (bubbles for example, that do not impact play quality) light "skid" marks that can be seen but not "felt", some perceptable noise between tracks or at lead in, general sound quality during play is uncompromised. VG / Recording is visually and sonically of high quality, without skips or excessive noise during playback. In some extreme instances I will submit a grading of R.M.F. (which means Rare Musical Find) to advise it is something special to consider. Vinyl and Jackets are graded within these same general guidlines. All specific areas of concern are noted to the best of my ability. I try to insure all records are play graded (which I believe most collectors rate the higher priority) by spot checking areas that may be questionable and generally checking for quality overall. I may make errors in grading and if it should occur I will make every effort to ensure you are completely satisfied with your purchase. I ship worldwide, however those outside of the United States and Canada must I will gladly combine winnings to save on shipping costs for you. Personal Checks require approximately two (2) days after deposit to clear. I invite questions and will respond in a timely manner. Insurance is not included although highly recommended to avoid debates that may occur without it (mis-directed package, damaged item, etc.) Shipping to the 50 states is a flat $4.50 USPS Media Mail rate by estimating this item between 1-2 pounds. Rates increase as package weight increases. This includes custom packaging for the safe delivery of your item. I usually ship within two (2) days after payment is received. Shipping elsew will be quoted at the end of the auction and will be destination dependant.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
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.

Eagle County SOS Outreach students talk about the outdoors with lawmakers
Many of us who live here in the mountain probably know the answer to this question, Why do the outdoors matter? What many of us don't know is there are kids in the midst of our beautiful mountain towns who are unable to answer that question. Through SOS Outreach programs two mountain area teenagers can tell you– the mountains are a big part of their lives – and this past week they had the chance to share their love of the outdoors with Washington lawmakers. Francisco Holguin, 17, and Karen Nolasco, 19, were selected by the Sierra Club to attend a trip to Washington D.C. along with other outdoor advocates to help drum up support for a new bill and encourage more people to get outdoors. The bill, which will be introduced soon to the Senate by Colorado Senator Mark Udall, allocates money over the next five years to increasing outdoor access and preserving the outdoors. The students, who were introduced to outdoor sports such as snowboarding and backpacking...Read More

Some extremely bizarre things happen below the belt. Check out our list of the most shocking.
By: Anuradha Koli
2) A recent study found that 1 out of 100 people are asexual--they've never been sexually attracted to anyone.
3) On the other hand, 2% of women are turned on all the time. They suffer from persistent sexual arousal syndrome, which causes them to orgasm 10 to hundreds of times a day.
4) Guys in their teens and 20's can get off up to 10 times a day. That's because they have high levels of testosterone, which keeps them their libido raging.
5) A men's testicles are always a few degrees cooler than the rest of the body; if they aren't, his sperm will be damaged if the air feels too cool or in cold water, his scrotal muscles raise his twins closer to his body to heat them up. If it's too hot his balls hang away from his crotch, if they can catch a breeze.
6) The more a dude orgasms, the less ejaculate his body produces. So if it's been a day since his last O, he could release up to a tablespoon of fluid. But if it's only been hours, he's likely to trickle much less.
8) While he sleeps, a guy continues to get hard--about 6 erections each night (if he sleeps the average 8 hours per night). Snooze-time stiffles keep his penis in peak condition by bringing oxygen to his penile tissues.
9) Men aren't the only ones who get larger when they're feeling lusty. When a woman's desire is fired, her breasts swell and her vagina expands. And if her G-Spot is aroused, this pea-size passion button along the upper wall of her vagina can grow to the size of a walnut.
10) Being in a relationship increases a guy's urge to masturbate. That's because having regular sex amps up testosterone production, making him even hornier than he would be without you.
11) Almost all women need below-the-belt stroking before they are able to have an orgasm. But about 1% can hit the high note simply by having their nipples played with.
12) Cornflakes and Graham crackers were created to "cure" dirty thoughts. Back in the 1800's a high sex drive was thought to be caused by spicy foods. To make a bland diet more appealing, new food products were invented--like the cereal and snacks we eat today.

Hey guys. Boy I hope I don't get flamed on this one, but I have been searching around all day for this answer. I've done a few single speed conversions, but never replaced a bottom bracket before. I have a 1981 Schwinn Voyageur frame that I'd like to convert to a fixed gear.
I plan to use these cranks: Pista Track Crankset
They state a 103mm bottom bracket will make a 42mm chain line, and a 107mm will make a 44mm chain line. I think the chain stays on the voyager are narrow enough to use the 103mm, but I am not totally sure.
Any experience with this type of frame, or suggestions?

Wow. I had fun scrolling through this thread--some very nice bikes. Some of the thrift store and garage sale deals are amazing.
Here's my '85 Pro. Fixed for now, probably some 105 in its future, hopefully something nicer after a time.

1988 Miyata Six Fifteen. Mostly stock other than a few items that were missing ... somewhere along the line someone decided to turn her into an "upright hybrid". When I bought her she had riser bars, MTB brake levers, and clamp-on stem shifters. Unfortunately, the original randonneur bars, DT shifters and brake levers had gone MIA. Thanks to Velo Orange for the course bars, Silver shifters, Tektro aero brake levers and VO leather bar tape. I also added functional SKS fenders and Grand Bois Cypres tires ... the original Miyata Radials were in surprisingly fantastic shape, but I didn't particularly enjoy the squishy ride. Loving the Grand Bois so far.

I looked the bike up in the catalogue. Is the smaller front wheel just because the frame is so small? In my opinion it's a pretty neat design - touring feel with a sporty look.
Georgena Terry's design wasn't the first, but is the most widely known, and used by a lot of brands. The smaller front wheel allows for a much lower standover height; retaining the 700c rear keeps the gearing the same as any other 700c bike. i.e. a road bike for smaller people that doesn't sacrifice capabilities.
Some folks think also of the TT bikes that have the same wheel setup, and other think of them as "funny bikes." I've met short riders who had them, and they liked them, even compared to newer 650c bikes that are out there. There's a mother-daughter triathlon family near here that has 4, 2 for training and 2 set up for racing.
The bike has a lot of good stuff about it, and great potential for a full-blown tourer, even if you have to carry two tubes and two tires.

pretty sure shes a 79'. i recently added a fizik pave sport saddle. i intend to to a full restore. probably add barcons..
rides incredibly well for a bike that's older than i am.
yes, that is a whole bunch on rust on the top tube, but ive since took most of it off using a wire wheel on my die grinder and seems to be mostly surface. there is some pitting in the steel but nothing irreparable.
glad i can be part of this thread.

Just a whole mess of HTML you have there, stevelogic.
Some updated shots of my 1400:
Added new bar tape, Toupe saddle and Thomson Elite to hold it (old seatpost wasn't compatible with the Toupe).
I bought a Miyata 1000 today for $70. I believe it is from 1981 or 82. It has Suntour components, including bar end shifters. It has seen a lot of miles but is not too bad. Hope to show you a "before" picture when I get it picked up. I would like to paint it and wanted to check with you all to see if decals were available. I will be fixing it up but leaving it pretty much stock, and giving it to my daughter in-law.

Lisa Barros D'Sa Talks Cherrybomb Title!
One of the Cherrybomb directors, Lisa Barros D'Sa, talked to a Belfast journalist Keith Anderson about the movie title; to be precise she revealed the original title and the reasons why they changed it to Cherrybomb! From what I can tell this is just an excerpt from a much longer feature that is to follow: so, listen to the interview here and keep stalking this page in the next couple of days!
Rupert Grint: Latest Film Cherrybomb Premiered In Belfast!
Yesterday evening, the UK premiere of Rupert Grint`s new film Cherrybomb took place at the Jameson Belfast Film Festival, and half of the ICM staff were present: namely, Tao, Jo, Karo, AJ and special guest star Soph (and another guest star — Tao's mom!)
Although the main cast Rupert Grint, Robert Sheehan, Kimberley Nixon and James Nesbitt could not attend the screening due to other commitments, we had the pleasure to meet and talk to directors Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D'Sa. We can happily tell you that they are in negotiations with a distributor!
We also spoke to composer David Holmes, who told us that the soundtrack will be released eventually!

TORRANCE, Calif. Mattel will unveil a new 'Honda Racer' Hot Wheels in May as part of its Hot Wheel's Designer Challenge. The Honda Racer is 1/64th the size of a standard car and is shaped like Honda's "H" emblem.
"The core concept is built around our idea for an ultimate racecar and leverages the design freedoms made possible by a scale model car," said Honda senior designer Guillermo Gonzalez.
Honda is one of six auto makers invited to take part in the Designer's Challenge that's part of Mattel's 40th anniversary celebration of its Hot Wheel's brand of die-cast toy cars. In August, larger scale models of the Honda Racer and other cars will take part in a national Road Trip event.

Ms. Yen is fully aware that an unhygienic latrine will contaminate the environment as well as adversely affect the health of her family members in particular and her community in general. Due to a lack of funds, her family currently does not have a septic tank latrine.
With a portion of this loan, Ms. Yen will build a septic tank latrine and a hand-washing device with soap to improve her family's living conditions, in addition to providing convenience, cleanliness and privacy for all family members while contributing to environmental protection.
In the picture, she is standing in the front row, first from the left.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of Thrive Networks' initiative to expand access to clean water and improved sanitation to poor, rural households in Vietnam. These loans reduce rates of waterborne disease and increase dignity. When you fund this loan, it will be disbursed to the foundation, which will then lend the funds to the provincial Women's Union, an organization that works closely with Thrive Networks to provide funding to poor families to improve water access, build clean latrines, teach improved sanitation practices and more.
About Thrive NetworksThrive Networks creates sustainable and catalytic solutions to difficult development problems. Specifically, the organization works with community groups in rural, underserved areas to help make household access to clean water and improved sanitation desirable and affordable. Funds from Kiva lenders will be used to help borrowers finance the construction of a household latrine, ensuring a healthier future for each family and the wider community.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
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.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

African American worried about getting keloid scars after Open Rhinoplasty - what are the risk of getting a keloid?
Doctor Answers 8
Avoiding keloids with African American rhinoplasty
I understand your concern.
- Have you had your ears pierced? If so, and if you did not form keloids, chances are you will not.
- We do not understand keloids.
- If you are having your nostrils reduced, you cannot avoid an incision in your skin.
- But if you are only having the bridge raised and the tip refined, it can be done through a closed rhinoplasty - which means no skin incisions.
- Discuss this possibility with your surgeon.
- And if you are having nostril reduction, discuss the possibility of a test incision first, to see how you heal.
- Although keloids are uncommon in the central part of the face - they can occur.
- Your concern should be taken seriously.
Hope you find this information helpful. Best wishes.

Scott No Mates
6/10/15 - 10:01pmYes Sadie, I was in that group. My kids were trying to make a 1m dia snowball and rolling it down the hill. They got a couple of metres. Did you end up climbing McKay? For our part, it was one of the best runs I've skied (kids loved it too).
6/10/15 - 3:41pmThis was on the Saturday the 26th :)
Mister Tee on snow shoes
6/10/15 - 2:55pmHi, We were just two fellows out hiking , no skis, no snow boards , with snow shoes strapped to our heavy "winter " packs.
6/10/15 - 12:42pm
Quoting Scott No Mates:I am wondering if it was your group that we saw. We were the two snowboarders walking around. We stopped and had a chat to the group whilst they were waiting for a couple that they thought they had lost LOL
Mister Tee on snow shoes
5/10/15 - 9:39pmI was out camping/ hiking/snow shoe trekking at Roper's hut on 3,4/10/15. There were some skiers on the Johnston Hut side of Mt Nelse doing some turns . I spoke with them. They had a good report about Spion Kopje. It looked good to me. Don't wait for the road to open.Be quick because the snow out there is melting fast.
Scott No Mates
5/10/15 - 3:04pm
Quoting Sadie:We were in the morning group , we even rolled the skidoo ;) and got bogged going up Mt McKay
5/10/15 - 12:37pmminimal washouts too currawong, the cold winter helped the pack imho
5/10/15 - 10:52amHad a great ski on Friday, fantastic for October. Definitely the best spring in a quite a while. Weird season, I can only recall 1 "dump" but there were constant top ups that meant we had good conditions most of the season (after the late start). depth, quality and weather: all go to make for good skiing. this year was another proof that depth is not the most important
4/10/15 - 11:55pmYes, was good. Had fun skiing the last three mornings.
4/10/15 - 10:09pmStill plenty of fun turns to be had on the final day of lift operations today. The season never promised a lot but it delivered a heap. Late July and August was some great skiing. End of August when the first warm weather hit I expected the 1mt base to die in a hurry but it held on to deliver one of the best springs of skiing for a long time. Hopefully still a few weeks of backcountry turns to go.
30/9/15 - 10:06am
Quoting soza:We might see you out there. That is our plan too.
30/9/15 - 10:05am
Quoting Scott No Mates:In the morning or afternoon? Were you in the group with the busted trailer?
Scott No Mates
29/9/15 - 12:47amWe're all done and dusted for the season too - went backcountry with Steve Lee on Saturday - biggest buzz and will definitely do it again now that I have seen it. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8e_QYiajKfiQVlmS1UtdWEwMGM
28/9/15 - 9:17pm
Quoting soza:Seriously jelly :thumbs:
28/9/15 - 9:04pmSame here, all finished for the season. Had a great weekend and stay down in beauty with some old friends, beers at sweetwater food at stockpot, can't beat it. Saturday was a top notch day on the mountain with perfect spring snow on and off groomers. It was one of our friends first times to the snow so OH joined her in a beginners ski lesson thanks to the BFF deal, both did well and it looks like I may have lost the Mrs to the dark side of hard boots and stick waving. Its been a great season, bit of a slow start but the strongest finish of the last three I have had here. I don't think I have had as many memorable days as last year but its been consistant and more than adequate......think I managed about 30 days all up. I didn't get to go snow shoeing this year but that's more down to not having a season pass and even though the alpine pass gave me a reduced day rate you still felt the urge to get your moneys worth rather than just using the lifts to access out back. I am hopeing to get up once the lifts stop and the road opens to camp and hike a few runs sometime in October.
27/9/15 - 10:29pmWell that's all folks...for us anyway. Its been a fun season. Yesterday was a nice sunny day but boy was it hard going after 12pm. We headed out back and dud some runs out there. Ran into the Steve Lee crew on one of our runs. Unfortunately the skidoo and trailer went into a bit of a hole and snapped one of the rear snowboards (skids) on the trailer. Could it have been the karma bus that hit them as they didn't offer us a lift out when their group wasn't full? ;) Riding down Ruined I almost went over the hangers a couple of times when I hit a glue patch. Days End was tough on a board. I was jiggling all the way to Wombats and then that was the slowest ride to Falls Express ever experienced. Sad it is over for us. We could go up next week, but won't.
26/9/15 - 3:41pmGreat day on the hill. Perfect weather. Snow held up really well until about 3. Had prime viewing position from chairlift - someone hit the big jumps at ruined hard and got waaaay backseat. Landed on his head. Seemed to be alright thankfully it looked as bad as it gets
26/9/15 - 7:50amYesterday's snow was the worst that I have experienced for the season, it was poo. Anything with a bit of pitch was ok for some early turns but as soon as you hit any sort of run out the skis came to a abrupt halt. Temps have gone slightly negative overnight, hopefully enough to give it a bit of a freeze and form some crystalline structure.
Mister Tee on snow shoes
25/9/15 - 10:08pmI am heading up to FC for the last weekend of the FC season (2,3,4/10/15 ). I think I might find snow shoe action on Mt. Nelse .I will report back because if there is enough snow for a 'no toll booth fees' back country Bogong high plains trip in early October then that is good stuff.

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) -- A 32-year-old man was booked and jailed for investigation of reckless endangerment and fourth-degree assault on Friday after allegedly throwing a wrench at another vehicle on a highway.
The tool broke a vehicle's driver's-side window, showering glass inside the vehicle, and struck the driver in his left shoulder on State Highway 16. The man driving the vehicle wasn't injured.
The State Patrol said investigators were unable to determine the reason for the assault.
Witnesses traveling westbound on the highway told troopers the man had been passing vehicles and traveling at a high rate of speed when he threw the wrench "for no apparent reason."
The man was arrested at his house.

Sen. Coburn Drafts His Own Gun Bill
Sen. Tom Coburn (R., Okla.) is quietly circulating his own proposal for expanding gun-sale background checks, a sign that the conservative lawmaker may be trying to build support outside of long-running bipartisan negotiations on the issue.
After struggling for months to reach a deal with Democrats on how to broaden background checks, Mr. Coburn has written a 43-page draft of a bill that wouldn't require private gun sellers to keep a paper record of the sale, according to a copy of the proposal.
Dropping the record-keeping requirement would make it difficult for Democrats to support the bill, according to individuals familiar with the negotiations. Democrats have argued there is no way to enforce the checks without some form of documentation.

- Obama, Ryan Take Steps to Energize Voters, Reshape Agenda on Campaign Trail
- Seib Video: Gun Laws and the 2016 Campaign
Mr. Coburn has been working for weeks to reach a deal with Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Charles Schumer of New York, as well as Sen. Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) on the issue.
"Sen. Manchin continues to talk to all his colleagues," a spokesman for Mr. Manchin said Friday.
A spokesman for Mr. Coburn said the document did not represent the current state of the negotiations.
"It is not accurate. It doesn't reflect the status of negotiations," Mr. Coburn's spokesman said. "Talks are ongoing."
However, the discussions between Mr. Coburn and Mr. Manchin have stalled, with neither side willing to yield on the record-keeping requirement, and Mr. Manchin started talks this week with Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.), according to an aide familiar with the negotiations.
"The best hope we have right now of a bipartisan compromise is the discussion going on between Manchin and Toomey," a Senate Democratic aide said Friday. "There is real potential there."
In a blitz of town hall meetings in Oklahoma this week, Mr. Coburn assured his constituents that any bill to expand background checks to private sales would not generate any paper records. Currently, only licensed dealers must conduct background checks of potential buyers and keep a record of the sale. While he mentioned his negotiations, Mr. Coburn didn't emphasize his work with Democrats, but did note his sway with other Senate Republicans.
"The only thing that can get through Congress is what I just described," Mr. Coburn said at a town hall meeting in El Reno, Okla. "I have 45 people who will follow me absolutely in the U.S. Senate on what I say on this issue."
The Senate had been expected to take up gun legislation shortly after recess, but an aide to Democratic leaders said this week it may be delayed to give lawmakers time to work out a compromise on the background checks. If reached, that would become the most ambitious piece of legislation included in the main gun-control bill. The Senate will vote on other measures that are not expected to pass, including a ban on semi-automatic rifles known as assault weapons.

Organised by magazine publisher ITP Business, the annual Aviation Business Awards has established itself as the ultimate celebration of achievements within the Middle East aerospace industry over the past 12 months.
The inaugural Aviation Business Awards took place in 2007 and leveraged the breadth and experience of ITP's market leading transportation titles – including Aviation Business, ArabianSupplyChain.com and Logistics Middle East.
Nine years later, and the leading players from the Middle East aerospace industry are preparing to converge in Dubai for the tenth annual Aviation Business Awards ceremony.
"The market opportunity in the Arabian Peninsula, together with the fierce competition to succeed in the lucrative aviation sector, means the Middle East is producing some of the most impressive players in the global aerospace industry," comments Walid Akawi, CEO of ITP Publishing Group.
"The Aviation Business Awards will make a welcome return in 2016 to recognise those regional and international companies that stand out from this exalted crowd. The nominees will once again include a combination of regional and international players that have gone above and beyond in terms of their industry contribution," he adds.
The Aviation Business Awards 2016 ceremony will include 15 categories in total, covering the airline, airport and cargo sectors, along with supporting niches. Nominations are being invited online and will be assessed by a prestigious panel of experts, selected from within the Middle East aerospace industry.

Here in GA we have an emission test that requires the vehicle to be run on a roller at about 15 miles per hour, holding steady for a few minutes. On the last test, my Pathfinder almost wouldn't do this. Holding it at 15 miles per hour, after a few moments the exceleration falls off. The tester barely could hold it steady enough for the computer test to complete. Any idea what is causing this? The tester thiks it has something to do with the idler/choking device between the air filter and the intake! Is that right? Fixable or needs replaced? We don't really notice anything while actually driving except that it might be a little sluggish in excelaration - but it is old you know!

Collect 5 points for every £1 you spend on robinsonsequestrian.com!
Rider Rewards are our way to thank you for making your equestrian purchases with us.
Sign up to receive Rider Rewards
Starting on 11th December 2012, The Rider Reward Points Program allows you to earn points for making your equestrian purchases from the Robinsons website. Obviously, some terms and conditions apply and the main benefit is that the more you spend, the more you earn!
How it Works
Unlike other points programmes, you don't have to have more points value than the value of your purchase to redeem them. You have the choice to split your payment between the amount of points you decide and then pay the balance, conventionally.
Reward points can be used in conjunction with other payment types such as credit cards and Paypal. In the example shown, the customer has chosen a pair of Harcombe Breeches at £39.00. She has 2,370 Rider Rewards points (worth £23.70).
The customer has the choice to redeem some, all or none of her points against this purchase, leaving the rest payable via her card or PayPal account, as normal. By redeeming all her points, the customer will just need to pay the remaining £15.30 (plus delivery) on her card or PayPal account. She may decide simply to pay the full amount, as normal and continue to hold as many points as she can. Or she can decide to use any combination of points and balance in between.
If she decides to redeem all her points, she will still earn more points for future use from the £15.30 balance payment (15 x 5), giving her a new balance of 75 points. If she chooses the second option, she'll add (39 x 5) 195 points to the 2,370 she already has, giving her 2,565 points.
Here are some more reasons why Rider Rewards are ideal for you!
You have the ability to view and manage your points through your Customer Account. From your account you will be able to view your total points (and currency equivalent), and a cumulative history of points acquired, redeemed and lost. The history record will retain and display historical rates and currency for informational purposes. The history will also show you comprehensive informational messages regarding points, including expiry notifications. This option is found in the Reward Points section of the My Account area.
From time to time, we may offer 'double points' promotions, or similar, where the rate of points earned per pound of spend is greater for a specific period. We'll advertise these promotions by email, homepage banner and via our Facebook and Twitter pages. When you do this, you will then in turn earn more points on the amount of money you spend (at the rate of £1 = 5 points) for subsequent purchases.
Points are awarded for every pound you spend, so even the VAT on your order will earn you points to redeem against a future purchase.
Other Information
Rider Rewards can only be redeemed against the value of items in your order. Any delivery charges incurred will be charged to a card or PayPal account, as normal.
Currently, Rider Rewards are restricted only purchases from robinsonsequestrian.com and cannot be earned or redeemed via telephone orders or at our stores. This restriction is due to technical limitations and we are working towards incorporating them in all the services we offer.
Rider Reward points expire one year (365 days) after the date they were earned. If you have points that are about to expire, we'll send you a 'use them or lose them' email two weeks before their expiry date, so you don't miss the chance to use them.
Rider Rewards are earned at the rate of £1 = 5 points in increments of 'whole pounds spent'. Each 20p spend thereafter does not earn an additional point. For example, a spend of £10.20 will earn 50 points.
You can't earn Rider Rewards points when redeeming earlier points. If your order is partly paid by redeemed points, the value of the balance paid conventionally will earn points at the usual rate.
Reward points have a minimum value of 100 points required for redemption. You will not be able to use your reward points until you accrue the minimum number, at which point they will become available for redemption. There is no maximum points value.
Rider Rewards cannot be purchased or sold are non-transferrable between accounts. They have no cash value beyond our promise to redeem them at the stated rate, for as long as we choose to operate the scheme.
If you return a product for refund, we will deduct the number of points collected from your Rider Rewards account. In the event that a returned item was in a purchase that was paid for by a combination of redeemed points and conventional payment, we will always re-credit the points balance first at the points/£ rate at which the item was purchased.
Robinsons Country Leisure Ltd. reserve the right to cancel, withdraw or alter the scheme, including these Terms and Conditions, or any individual Rider Reward account, at any time.
If you choose to place your order in US Dollars or Euros, the value of reward points is determined by that day's given currency exchange rate of that currency to GB pounds, and then to points, at the stated rate. The same applies to redeemed points, based on the stated rate of redemption and then that day's given currency exchange rate from the GB pound to either the Euro or the US Dollar.

About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The 'Free hugs' campaign has landed in Saudi Arabia [2] after Bandr al-Swed, a Saudi young man released a video of him marching in the streets of the capital Riyadh offering free hugs to people of the Kingdom.
"After seeing the Free Hugs Campaign in many different countries, I decided to do it in my own country … I liked the idea and thought it could bring happiness to Saudi Arabia," Bandr al-Swed said speaking to Al Arabiya News.
The 'Saudi Free Hug' video posted on You Tube shows al-Swed walking in King Mohammed Abdel Aziz street holding a banner with a 'Free hugs' inscription on it and offering hugs to random people.
The three-minute long video which was released on Nov.19 has surprisingly gone viral within a couple of hours.
"I wasn't expecting this much views at all ... I wasn't expecting it to become that big. I am really surprised," al-Swed said.
The 21-year-old al-Swed said his free hugs mission was "the first one in Saudi Arabia" and that it was welcomed with smiles and open arms [3].
Social media response
Social media users expressed mixed reactions toward the #free_hug_sweetener.
"Nice idea from a Saudi man so amazing to see all ppl smile and Happy thx bro^^don't worry about sick ppl^^good luck," wrote Twitter user @Hd_jun.
Another twitter user, @Abby Bar, offered his support to Swed saying: "That must have been tough – Thank you for having the courage – We need more people like you doing simple stuff for wonderful reasons," while @_Lienarde wrote that the free hug campaign was "a cute and amazing idea."
Others, however, criticized the campaign and urged al-Swed to stop it.
YouTube MrPsdk1155 described al-Swed as "a man suffering from psychological problems," while Tehh Titannium said would be 'doing a Saudi Free sex' next year.
On another note Freemefouz67 accused al-Swed of mimicking the West and of forgetting his Saudi identity.
With a YouTube 600.000 views and counting in about 15 hours, the Saudi man is hoping to challenge his compatriots Hisham Fageeh, Fahad Albutairi and Alaa Wardi whose video "No woman, no drive" received over a million views in less than 24 .
"I saw their video of course and I am now optimistic about the idea that I will be able to do as well as they did … Let's just wait and see," al-Swed said.
The Free Hugs Campaign is an international social movement of individuals offering hugs to strangers in public places.
It was started in 2004 by an Australian man known as Juan Mann who had begun offering hugs in Sydney. The same year U.S. financial analyst Jayson Littman also did a similar campaign in New York City's Washington Square Park.
The campaign later became popular after it appeared in a music video for the Australian rock band Sick Puppies in 2006, which has been viewed over 74 million.
