Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article

No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

ATLANTA (AP) -- Thunder and Lightning were nothing special, and
Clemson's special teams were downright horrible.
Georgia Tech stifled the dynamic running duo of James "Thunder" Davis and C.J. "Lightning" Spiller and took advantage of a stunningly poor performance by Dean Buchholz and the rest of Clemson's kicking game, upsetting the 13th-ranked Tigers 13-3 Saturday.
The Yellow Jackets (3-2, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) snapped a two-game losing streak and avoided their first 0-3 start in league play since 1994. It wouldn't have been possible if not for Clemson's woes in a phase of the game that often gets overlooked.
The Tigers (4-1, 2-1) missed four field goals, had a punt blocked to set up the only touchdown and fumbled on a kickoff return, setting up a field goal that gave Georgia Tech a 10-point lead with 11 1/2 minutes remaining.

WordPress version: 3.4.1
WordPress SEO version:22.214.171.124
I did this:
I have certain taxonomies 'noindexed' via this plugin, so I excluded them from the xml sitemap.
I expected the plugin to do this:
The links to these taxonomy sitemaps to be removed from the sitemap_index.xml and the excluded taxonomy sitemap urls to return a 404 status.
Instead it did this:
The links were removed from sitemap_index.xml, but if you manually browse to the excluded taxonomy sitemap urls they look like a 404 page (Has the 404 template message on the page), but they actually return a 200 status)
I've seen this happen on 3 different sites now, and can cause a very serious problem. On some of the sites, these 404 looking pages are duplicating the home page under the 404 message. As they are returning a 200 status the pages are getting indexed and thus duplicate home pages are being indexed in Google.
I thought this was an issue with caching plugins, but have now experienced it on a site with no such plugins. This has happening from with all versions of this plugins right down to version 1.0.

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
We traverse the ice and snow in PS3's Lost Planet -- new screens!
Now that the long-awaited PS3 version is nearing release (at a notably lower price point than usual PS3 releases: $40), we decided it would be a good time to investigate what this latest version has to offer, as well as discern whatever aesthetic differences the PS3 version might offer.
|SCREENS: Click the image above to check out all Lost Planet: Extreme Condition PS3 screens.
First up, the easy stuff. You could say that Lost Planet PS3 is an extreme value if you consider that all of the online maps, many of which were paid downloadable content on Xbox 360, are included on the disc from the get-go. Plus, the PS3 version has the additional playable characters found in the PC version -- namely Frank West from Dead Rising and Mega Man (although it's really Frank West in the Dead Rising Mega Man outfit) -- as well as brand-new playable character Luka, who previously only figured into the game's cut-scenes and storyline. Luka has missions of her own, much like Ada Wong's excursions in Resident Evil 4. Luka, it must be said, would make for a good heroine in future iterations of Lost Planet, should Capcom not renew its contract with Korean star Lee Byung-Hun.
Aside from those PS3-specific additions, the game is by and large the same games as its Xbox 360 counterpart, featuring the same 'zoom' and 'wide' camera configurations, with the zoom view bringing the camera in a little closer to the main character. Its placement is more central to the screen, though, as opposed to the character being more on the left part of the screen like Leon Kennedy's view in Resident Evil 4.
|SCREENS: Click the image above to check out all Lost Planet: Extreme Condition PS3 screens.
There are downsides to this largess, though, which mostly look to come in the form of a less stable framerate and lower texture quality than the Xbox 360 release. Another issue is how the PS3 controller's analog response feels compared to that of the 360 controller. Aiming is a lot trickier, as the lack of resistance on the SixAxis thumbsticks leads to too-sensitive controls. An auto-targeting option somewhat alleviates targeting troubles, but removes the ability to independently target things like explosive oil drums if they're in the vicinity of moving targets.
EDIT: We finally received word from Capcom that rumble is indeed embedded in the game. While there isn't an option to flip it on or off in the options of our near-complete preview build, Capcom states that it's simply 'on' if you happen to have a Dual Shock 3 connected to your PS3. If you want the full Lost Planet experience, we recommend importing a DS3 controller to play with the game, so you don't miss out on the tactile sensation of firing your cable into rock and ice, or lose out on all the massive rumble that explosions and combat brings. Check out our exclusive screens in the meanwhile, and hang tight for our review later this month.

Dead Rising looks betterPosted: Feb 07, 2008 12:00AM PST by drunkenstien
Now they need to port over Dead Rising. I never really had interest in Lost Planet and reading now that it's inferior, I'm definitely skipping it. However, Dead Rising I would buy for sure, it has always intrigued me.
No thanksPosted: Feb 07, 2008 12:00AM PST by coktoe
If this was a good port,as opposed to having "a less stable framerate and lower quality textures",than it's 360 counterpart,I would buy it.And yeah,the PS3 CTRL has looser sticks,I noticed right away too.If recent games DMC and others can be as good as or better than the 360 version,this should be as well.No excuses Capcom!
RumblePosted: Feb 07, 2008 12:00AM PST by Metalmurph
I'm pretty sure the build he played has rumble too, Mielke made it clear before he doesn't have a DualShock 3 so he just assumed the game didn't have rumble. Typical Mielke.
lolPosted: Feb 07, 2008 12:00AM PST by WickedLaharl
oh sweet lord the build you played didn't have rumble while the recently released psn demo does. obviously this means your whole preview should be thrown into question.
It was lame. I doubt that changed.Posted: Feb 06, 2008 12:00AM PST by ShaggyTrout
I really thought this game was pretty lame on the Xbox 360. Some cool graphics, but was very repetetive and like they said, it was fairly slow.
Biased?Posted: Feb 06, 2008 12:00AM PST by tastethehappy
you think this preview is making the game look worse than it is? you obviously never played it... He's making this game out to be something actually worth buying
I didn't:Posted: Feb 06, 2008 12:00AM PST by Tylahedras
want this game when it came out... much less a year late with some toss in extras and problems. I'd have rather had dead rising anyway. Oh and I hear PS3 isn't getting LP2 either, way to screw the pooch their Capcom.
multiplayerPosted: Dec 31, 2007 12:00AM PST by DirtFloorCracker
game is all about multiplayer. single player - meh anyways this preview is bias. very bias. complain about a "stumble feature"? wow if that ruins the game then games that have bad controls like GTA must be f*cking terrible...
Loved the Demo, Hated the GamePosted: Dec 24, 2007 12:00AM PST by SpiralSage
I'm not sure why they're porting this to the PS3..it's pretty disappointing. They should have just ported Dead Rising.
ok why?Posted: Dec 22, 2007 12:00AM PST by PS3-4-LIFE
i played this game on 360. it wasn't anything special. a shooter with that weird camera turning and the glitchy gameplay. why giv the ps3 a crappy game a year later without any special features or anything like that. capcom wasted their time on this. i think it was just something to give to ps3 cuz they made DMC multi platform. AND THE GUY THAT MENTIONED HALO. SHUT UP GOOD GOD. YEAH THE 1ST 1 SET A NEW STANDARD BUT THE REST ARE THE SAME DAMN THING ND ITS WAY OVERRATED. just cuz a game involves guns doesnt mean u gotta compare it to halo all the damn time
o wellPosted: Dec 22, 2007 12:00AM PST by sh0rtshift
i thought the demo was pretty cool
Why Capcom WhyPosted: Dec 22, 2007 12:00AM PST by blackicejoe
I just want to know why is Capcom making this game for the PS3. I been on many forums and every one that has heard this game will be on the PS3 does not want it. They all say they do not want a crapy port and could care less if it has the added download stuff either. So one thing I want to know why is Capcom wasting there money on this when you can see PSFanboys do not want this game. Why not just make another game for the PSFans or better yet use this money to help make a future new IP.
Very under rated game....Posted: Dec 22, 2007 12:00AM PST by MicroGates
I've had this since launch for the 360 and am glad a whole other audience is going to get to experience it. It won't/can't compete with the Halos and BioShocks of the world, but it's a decent shooter and well worth the $19.99 I paid for it (Although PS3 owners will probably have to pay $59.99 for it at first :( ).

Late Nite FDL: "I am So Very Sickened/Oh, I am So Sickened Now…"
Oh, the stupid. It burns.
Sometimes you wonder how right-wing bloggers like Michelle Malkin keep from getting lost in the bathtub. Do their more intelligent spouses and family members draw them maps on the bath tiles with a Sharpie? When people are so ideologically blinkered and hard-headed to the point that they will deny evidence that's right before their eyes, you have to wonder just how they keep from hurting themselves on a daily basis. With things like electrical outlets, butter-knives, and puddles of water right there in their general environment, are they ever truly safe from themselves?
See, Michelle Malkin and some dorky accomplice of hers decided that they were going to go to Iraq and show once and for all how the Associated Press has been distorting the facts on the ground, making up phony witnesses, and lying and distorting the situation over there, which has in turn demoralized the American people and, by dint of several thousand US citizens simultaneously ceasing to clap their hands and believe in fairies, completely lost us the war. It's all the liberal media's fault, you see, that things aren't going well over there. And Michelle and her Li'l Buddy were going over there to prove it.
Undaunted and unbowed in the face of their first big "exposé" getting its legs shot out from under it by the truth, this intrepid pair of "citizen journalists" soldiered on to debunk the Next Big Mainstream Media Lie. They settled on the following report from the AP in November:
Earlier that day, rampaging militiamen burned and blew up four mosques and torched several homes in the capital's mostly Shia neighborhood of Hurriyah, police said. Iraqi soldiers at a nearby army post failed to intervene in the assault by suspected members of the Shiite Mahdi Army militia or subsequent attacks that killed a total of 25 Sunnis, including women and children, said police Capt. Jamil Hussein.
So, Malkin and entourage go to the mosque, shoot some footage, and then hastily cobble together a big "Gotcha!" video to post at Malkin's multi-media vanity project, "Hot Air". It's called "Hurriyah Mosques: Still Standing" and in it, Malkin fatuously declares that she's about to offer you, the viewer, concrete indisputable proof that the AP is lying about everything in Iraq. They said that four mosques were "destroyed", she maintains (they didn't), and look! Look at the mosque! It looks great!
And the camera pans over to show us this:
(Fig 1-b: Courtesy of those rapscallions at Sadly, No!)
Uh, okay, Michelle. You're absolutely right. Clearly that mosque is the picture of health. Never been better. That's just their new skylight, which they put in when they decided the place needed more natural light. Not "destroyed", you see. Just…"forcibly remodelled", let's say. Decorating with rocket-launchers is the latest thing in Iraq. It's not a Civil War, no, it's just one giant sectarian episode of "Trading Spaces".
And that's their big scoop. The mosque is not a pile of radioactive glass fragments, so therefore, everything you know about the War in Iraq is a lie!
Now, clap your hands and shout, "I do believe in Islamofascists! I do, I do, I do!"
Do it! Or the War in Iraq will die, kids!

So anyway, Sadly No! was all like "Malkin you are so busted" but then that guy who hangs around with Michelle at her locker and stuff, (but he's not like her "boyfriend", eww, ick) he's all:
I see that our friends at Sadly, No! can't distinguish between a mosque having a hole in an onion-shaped thing on top and that mosque being destroyed, as the AP reported on Nov 24. That failure to distinguish between such widely varying descriptions should guide you if you read anything else published there. (snip)
But then Michelle shows up and she's all:
Tellingly, the pathetic, attempted debunker fails to link to either my post at mm.com or my full report at the NYPost, which give the full details and nuance (plus more photos) of what we found versus what the AP reported (and didn't report). There is now an all-too-predictable attempt to distort our reports. Read. Them. In. Their. Entirety. For. Yourselves.
Where she says:
WELL, the Iraqi Ministry of Interior says disputed Associated Press source Jamil Hussein does exist. But at least one story he told the AP just doesn't check out: The Sunni mosques that as Hussein claimed and AP reported as "destroyed," "torched" and "burned and [blown] up" are all still standing. So the credibility of every AP story relying on Jamil Hussein remains dubious.
I get so sick of this routine from them. "Well, maybe I was wrong about that, but, you know, there's A Lot of Unanswered Questions still surrounding the issue!"
Godammit, Michelle, the only freakin' unanswered question I have at this point is why anyone takes you seriously. You're wrong about everything. You're a wrong sandwich with extra wrong and a side order of super-wrong wrongness smothered in wrong sauce. And yet, you persist!
Fortunately, so do the young men at Sadly, No!
Expect this one to go into extra innings, gang.

Big data for development discussed at ITU Telecom World
Written by Rohan Samarajiva on December 3, 2014 — Leave a Comment
Following the plenary in 2013 at which Viktor Mayer-Schonberger introduced big data to ITU Telecom World attendees, there will be a panel discussion at the 2014 edition in Doha, Qatar. What is novel is that we will have three presentations by those who have actually got their hands dirty with big data, including Linus Bengtsson […]

East African mobile app innovators to watch
Written by Rohan Samarajiva on September 25, 2012 — Leave a Comment
Earlier this month I was asked by a panel moderator what the most critical factor was in accelerating broadband use. My answer was mobile apps. If people have interesting things to do with their devices, they will upgrade to smartphones, they will pay the usage charges, etc. This is also why I decided to put […]

I've a simple question; if you use phpMyAdmin to put the code directly into the page/post, will it still execute? i.e. do you still need to have this plugin (or another one that serves the same purpose) installed? Thanks.

Leftover turkey and pumpkin pie have been stowed in the refrigerator; coffee cups have been cleared from the dining room table; many in the family are plopped down in front of the TV to catch the end of the Cowboys-Redskins game and wait for the Patriots and Jets to kick off.
While this homey Thanksgiving tableau plays out in most households this Thursday, one more scene will take place in a growing number of households: Stuffed diners will put on coats, grab car keys and head to the mall.
That's because such big-box retailers as Wal-Mart, Sears and Toys R Us will open their doors at 8 p.m., followed by Target at 9, to kick off the start of the holiday shopping season.
This newspaper sympathizes with the plight of retailers struggling to sell merchandise in an increasingly competitive market, especially when holiday sales account for such a substantial percentage of their annual revenues.
Still, it is troubling that crass commercialization has contaminated perhaps the most American and family-oriented of U.S. holidays.
We have gotten used to President's Day furniture sales, Fourth of July car sales and a host of other marketing promotions tied to virtually every other holiday, but until a few years ago retailers always abided by an unwritten rule against commerce on Thanksgiving Day.
Instead, they focused all their marketing on the day after, Black Friday, when stores would open in the morning to admit a crush of frantic shoppers driven by the promise of early bargains.
Soon, it became a contest to see who could open earliest - 8 a.m. gave way to 6 a.m., which became 4 a.m., 2 a.m., then midnight.
Now we have so-called Black Thursday, and it's easy to see how this year's 8 p.m. openings could shift to 6 p.m. next year, after which some will jump the gun to 4, and so on. Eventually, Thanksgiving could become like just any other shopping day.
Our objections are two-fold.
Thanksgiving often is the one time a year different generations gather at the same table - grandchildren, children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, sharing memories with their meal.
First, we would hate to hear somebody at the table say, "We'd better hurry with dessert or else we may not get a good spot in line for a flat-screen TV."
And second, we would regret to hear the words from a store employee at the table, "Gee, I'd better get ready for work."
Some who are sympathetic to the plight of clerks and cashiers forced to work on Thanksgiving are calling for consumer boycotts of stores running Black Thursday promotions.
While we don't necessarily endorse such organized anti-shopping protests, we agree with their goals.
Stay home. Have a second (or third) piece of pie. Chat with relatives. Take a nap on the couch.
The store will always be open the next day.

More Than a Rose is a small piece designed to introduce students to some stitches and raised work techniques used on English sweet bags ca. 1600. This project is worked on a linen ground with your choice of cotton or silk floss and with gold and silver passing threads, providing a taste of goldwork without a large investment in gold materials.
The techniques are a mixture of Tent stitch, surface embroidery, and needlelace. The text shows how to work Plaited Braid, four varieties of Corded Detached Buttonhole, three varieties of Ceylon, Offset Cross, and other more familiar stitches. The student should be familiar with Tent stitch, able to follow a stitch diagram, and willing to make decisions based on a range of presented alternatives typical of that time period. Students may follow the choices made on the model or test their wings with alternatives.
This course features a glitzy elephant as a Maharajah's fantasy creature. Perhaps it is a jeweled decoration in a wonderful palace. It could be a toy for the Maharajah's son and heir. Or maybe a Maharajah really can have a brightly colored elephant with gold feet and tusks! Let your imagination loose when choosing your colors and threads.
Although the primary goal of this project is to teach you the technique of canvas applique by attaching the ear to the elephant, you may complete the project by stitching the ear directly on the canvas ground fabric.
Stitches used include tent, rice, eyelet, swirl, alternating scotch, Rhodes, satin, and brick as well as several cross stitches including double, upright, and Symrnas. The background is bargello pattern.
Star Spangled Seminar 2016 is excited to announce that Jette Roy-Finlay Heath and Merrilyn Heazlewood will be Stitching Across America to teach in conjunction with Seminar 2016, held in Alexandria, Virginia, November 2 - 6, 2016.

Usually pretty good looking and fun

Tons of attractive men and women. Stay in shape to keep up.

Overall, Lafayette has a very attractive campus. People really care about their looks here. If you go to class everyday wearing sweats you will be treated differently by your peers and professors alike.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
The average student at Lafayette College usually hails from the East Coast/New England states. Quite a large portion of the student body comes from money, and that is reflected in the way students present themselves. There are a lot of fashion-conscious people on campus, guys and girls who put effort into the clothes they wear. It is not unusual to see girls impeccably put together, and guys in collared shirts and pressed khakis. Even in this flawlessly-attired crowd, you can expect to find the more casually dressed people. They go to class in sweatshirts and sweatpants, ponytails and scruffy beards. They mingle with each other, go to classes and the library, and attend parties on the weekends. They rub shoulders with Greek life—which may have the label of "exclusivity" in most college vernaculars—and have social lives beyond their on-campus jobs and double majors.
Most students come to campus with some knowledge of how to maneuver the dating scene. The guy-to-girl ratio is pretty equal, and there are plenty of opportunities to meet eligible singles. Floor events, dorm parties, Greek life events—the campus offers a wide range of social activities where guys and girls can get to know each other. Casual sex is not unheard of, and neither is the hookup culture. However, there are quite a few serious couples in every circle of friends.

It was the end of 2003. We sat down with a bottle of wine and made notes on a piece of paper about industry traits that we did not want to see repeated. Soon we had formed an outline and structure that would come to shape our company.
Our name would need to capture, encompass and symbolize what this new brand would stand for. We wanted to build on and sell a philosophy, not an image. We wanted to signal out to like-minded individuals and connect with them.
So Signal was founded in 2004 as an artistic company anchored in snowboarding.
We found that there was energy and strength in turning the usual way of doing business upside down. It would also be important that our own days at Signal were fulfilling. We wanted new ways to connect. Through programs like Every Third Thursday and Signal Coffee, we have proven that we can reach a huge audience by connecting with customers one-on-one and that there are others out there like us who have that same yearning...
The brand's mission is about a company that believes in making more than just a product. We are about building a community with a much bigger cause— one that includes building our boards and a foundation here at home in California. Signal is a human sized company in an industry of giants and our priorities keep us dedicated to building our community as well as building quality snowboards and other products that enrich our lives."

"The thumbnail version: Silo Skis are handcrafted sticks, made by a guy named Lars, just outside Burlington, Vermont. The longer version: Every pair of Silo Skis are fully custom, meaning yours don't exist yet. They start with a conversation, where we get to know you and you get to know us. We'll talk about where you ski, how you ski, how your body type influences your skiing and the sticks upon which you shred. We'll talk about materials and graphics; timelines; price; music; food; scotch. Silo Skis are not manufactured, but tailored to your exact specifications. Sure, we'll offer some suggestions along the way, but our goal is to create handcrafted, skis that meet your exact specifications. Our workshop is in Richmond, Vermont, just outside of Burlington. It is fully solar powered (no carbon footprint on your skis! Heck, even our web servers are powered by photovoltaics) and home to a darn nice family. Give us a call or fill out our form or "Like" us on Facebook or "Follow" us on Twitter or do all these things. We'll talk about skiing. " - Website December 2015
How many ski builders would offer to listen to your favorite music while they design and build your skis so they know what you are really like? Custom, handcrafted skis from Richmond, Vermont USA by Lars Whitman in a solar-powered workshop...even the webserver is run on Photovoltaic cells! The fitting process begins with a detailed survey about the type of skis and ski conditions and terrain the client wants to spend time with..then progresses from there to more details. 98% USA materials including 4001 bases, VDS rubber, fiberglass, carbon fiber and kevlar can be included in the mix along with an oak/birch wood core. You can reserve a time, and for an extra $200 usd, build your own skis in their shop under their direction to get the best experience of your life creating your own skis. $550 base price...typically running $650 in the end.

Artisnal ski builders Glenn and Gregg Anderson from British Columbia have a small line of handcrafted skis featuring maple hardwood cores, 4000 series bases, carbon fibre, eco-resin components. The concept started in 2005, with skis rolling out of their shop in 2009 after learning invaluable knowledge from the fantastic SkiBuilders.com community. Beautiful designs with modern geometry. All mountain, big mountain and powder models available.
"What is The Ski Lab? We are small 'mom-and-pop' operation located on the eastern slopes of the Sierra mountains, in Reno, Nevada. We have been making skis since 2004 and we specialize in custom skis and design resources for passionate backcountry skiers. Our close proximity to the Sierra mountains allows us to quickly and rigorously test and refine our designs. If you are interested, we offer skis with custom shape, flex, graphics, and of course, your personal touch. Your new custom skis can either be made to order by our experts, or you can arrange to visit The Ski Lab in Reno to participate in the design and construction of your custom skis. We produce a limited number of skis each year. We also offer the K Skis line, a select quiver of skis that have been engineered and tested by passionate backcountry skiers since 2004. Several models are available and customers can also request variations to these designs. See the K Skis line for more details. We are also committed to supporting the ski design community, and in this spirit we offer basic ski building materials and supplies to meet the needs of the DIY-minded skier and tinkerer. What's our technology? The Ski Lab's engineering, design, and manufacturing process began in 2004. Each ski is made with the highest quality materials, thorough attention to detail, meticulous craftsmanship, and industry-standard manufacturing techniques. Our process consists of: Precision robotic ski shape cutting; Vibration dampening technology; Hand-selected wood species for cores, specific to each customer; Industry-standard materials: hardened steel edges, triaxial fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc.; Vibrant dye-sublimated topsheet graphics, or whatever suits your fancy. "
Co-founder of the fantastic "Build your own ride" SkiBuilders.com website (definitely check it out if you have any urge to build your own skis...no other site like it!) Kam K. Leang, created his own website to sell some of his designs under the brand name "K Skis" as well as provide custom ski building services in 2011. Kam has been building skis since 2004 and has a huge body of expertise and knowledge since he is a Ph.D in mechanical engineering and a ski building fanatic. Not only can you buy pre-made skis or have your custom designs producted by Kam, you can get ski building materials through the website. You can also optionally participate in the construction of your skis at the shop...a unique opportunity. A full line of designs, including powder, all-mountain, touring and ultra-light models are available. Kam is one of the inspirations behind the DIY ski building revolution in the U.S.A. Prices for the "K Skis" are $699 usd, full custom skis start at $799 usd.
One of the new models in 2012 is the "K Wild" which weighs in at 2.5 pounds per ski, with dimensions 170 cm length, 127-92-115 mm.
"I've designed and produced skis for ten years on various levels. I started a ski company in my spare bedroom in Colorado. I visited and worked in micro factories and large factories on several continents. There are a lot of different ways to perform each step in the process of making a pair of skis. Through my experience, I pursued my own quest to figure out which steps are best done by high tech machines and which steps are best done by skilled hands. I also spent years designing skis and testing designs. From inside the industry, I witnessed the ignorance of posterboys and the one-track thinking of ego-gods. With Ski Logik, I had the opportunity to set up a new factory from scratch, combining the very best methods for each process. The first thing I did was choose a low-cost location so I wouldn't have to worry about costs. Sounds odd, but it works that way. Expensive locations force you to compromise the product by going cheaper on materials or reducing labor times. The alternative is outsourcing to low-cost locations, but that restricts you to a cookie-cutter product and puts quality at risk. I took the third rail. I moved with my wife and kids half way across the globe and set up our own factory so that I could design and produce with the best methods possible. I brought in engineers who shared my vision. We designed machinery that didn't exist, hired craftspeople with better hands than ours, and taught them how to make great skis. And they taught me a lot. After working for two years to get the production center fully capable, I turned my focus to designing a new line of skis using better materials and more craftsmanship per pair. I'm living a ski-maker's dream. We design and prototype continually and have no constraints and no boardroom that's going to fire us if we produce a design outside of the box. We produce year round in small numbers each day. We take as much time as we want on each pair, utilizing the best processes and materials available. Ski Logik is for skiers who share our passion for an extraordinary pair of skis. Enjoy! DAVID MAZZARELLA Founder Ski Logik" - Website January 2010
New company in 2010 by David Mazzarella (prevsiouly worked with Scotty Bob to build the company to sell Scotty Bob's skis) building freeride and freestyle skis in artist-painted woodgrain topsheets with carbon fiber, quadrax fiberglass, black locust sidewalls(very hard) for edge support , hardwood cores and rubber dampening layer construction. Female-specific models. Custom constructions available. $750 - $850 pricing. David states he has developed a new factory in a low-cost location ("Hainan Islands") to his specifications and designed special machines that did not exist so he could produce the skis he wanted. David mentions a long history in the ski building business, working in several microfactories on several continents. 95% of the wood is sustainably harvested. For each pair of skis purchased, Skilogik donates money to the Nature Conservancy to plant a tree in a reclaimed nature preserve. They claim to pay the workers at their production facility above the market rate, and provide free lunch each day. Health, retirement, unemployment, disability, worker's comp and 90 day maternity leave at 100% pay is provided.

Oct/Nov IVF/FET 2012---lucky tread!!!!
Yvette-I would not stress about the polyps. You are right one more thing off your list. YAY!!
Becky- hope all is well with you!!
Hello to EOE!!
AFM: still waiting for AF!! Should be the beginning of next week!! Yeah!!!!
Hi everyone...mind if I join the group?!
I've been posting on a November/December IVF thread, but pending my baseline bw & US next week (I'm currently on BCPs waiting for a few small cysts to go away) I could start stims around October 6th!! This will be our first IVF cycle and we started down this path in November 2011, so it feels like it's taken forever to get here. I've actually been following this thread but was hesitant to post for fear of jinxing myself (crazy, I know).
We have an appointment with our RE tomorrow to get my protocol and then our nurse/financial talk next monday and that's when we will order our meds. My last BCP will be on September 30th then hopefully we can start! If the cysts are still there then it will be another month of BCPS.
In the meantime I'm just waiting, taking supplements, going acupuncture (started 6 weeks ago and LOVE it) and I'm going to start the circle + bloom meditation program next week. Anything that people have told me helped them, I'm trying :)
I look forward to (kmfx) going through this journey alongside all of you!
Hi, I think I am ready to join this group. I am doing my first IVF with (hopefully) PGD. I have been TTC for over 2.5 years with two losses - one at 12 weeks last Nov and one at 8 weeks this past Aug. I just started my CD1 on Monday, first post D&C AF, and will be having a hysteroscopy tomorrow. Then we start IVF. I probably won't even start stimming until the end of Oct with ER in Nov (my clinic closes thier embryology lab for Oct).
I am going to be on lovenox because my last loss was a chromosomally normal embryo 46XY. We are doing PGD to make sure we implant a euploid embryo. I have MTHFR (although previously not believed to be the cause of my MCs) and a strong family history of blod clots, so I will be on Lovenox post ER and possibly a steroid.
I am taking a whole slew of supplements, doing acupuncture, yoga and eating right. I am excited to start this process! Nice to meet you all.
Lisa (34) & Jeremy (38) TTC #1 since 4/10
My angels, forever in my heart ~11/10/11 & 8/22/12~
Trying- Welcome to you as well. So sorry for your loss. I have read a lot of good things with people who ave done PGD!! GL to you!!
Hope all is doing well!!
TTC since July 2010, MC Jan 2011 & May 2012, IVF with CCS (PGD) Nov 2012 - BFP! Praise the Lord! But.. diagnosed with CDH at 12 wks. Prayers needed..
Echo, isn't it amazing that no one cares about MTHFR. I will be crossing my fingers for you and your ER and PGD. I hope you get your lovenox :)
Lisa (34) & Jeremy (38) TTC #1 since 4/10
My angels, forever in my heart ~11/10/11 & 8/22/12~
Becky-That kinda sounds like my second cycle, My first IVF I was only on bravelle and I had 15eggs but only 9 mature. For my second cycle my RE added menopur to the bravelle to make my eggs more mature. We ended up with 8 mature eggs and no immature, and better fertilization. I'm really hoping this cycle we get more eggs since our fertilization is so bad. LOL I hear ya on the mama's gaining 85lbs, I'm afraid once I'm finally prego I will have a hard time denying myself all those cravings ;-)
Imcivor- Thanks, I'm trying to take everything one day at a time and be as healthy as I can.
Elizabeth- I think it's the lupron it could also be the BCP's, my body hates any medicine messing with my hormones seems to turn me into a lazy moody witch. After BCP's my AF usually shows up in 2-3days.
Swippy- Welcome!!! Hope those cyst are shrinking! Let me know if you like the circle + bloom cd's I've been considering getting them too.
Lisa- Welcome! So sorry for your losses.
Hello EOE, hope your having a good day!

Kelly(27) DH(31) TTC for # 1 since 6/2010, MFI, IVF#1- mc, IVF#2- BFN, IVF #3- BFP Twins!
Hello to EOE!! Hope all is well
Hi everyone.. My name is Jayme and I will be doing a FET, in November, I hope! A little bit of history for me. I am a mother of boy/girl twins thanks to my 2nd IVF in 2010. Prior to that I had beem trying to concieve for 8 years. I tried everything. I did 6 rounds of IUI because it was covered by my insurance. Didn't work.. So I took a very long break and started IVF( everything out of pocket for IVF) in January of 2010. I was put on long Lupron protocol and responded badly. They were only able to get six eggs and three fertilized with ICSI and I put all 3 back on day 3 because they were graded poorly- this resulted in BFN. So I did IVF again in april 2010 and did the ataganost protocol and did extremely better. 16 eggs retrieved and 10 made it to blast! We decided to out 2 grade A blast back on day 5-this resulted in my twins. 8 frozen embies. I tried a FET January of this year, put back 2 again ( i didnt mind having twins again)- BFN. So I took a break... So here I am again wanting to give it another try. I just called my RE to schedule an appointment.. Hoping this time works.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask me and I love hearing all of your experiences!
1 failed IVF. 2nd IVF April 2010- 2 blast transferred- BFP.. Delivered b/g twins .Have 8 snowbabies! FET-2/15-BFN

When I called the first time on 4-21-11 the "customer service rep" that I talked to said that he is going to send me a new device. He said that it would take about 2-3 bussiness days for me to receive the device. So I waited until 4-27-11 to call them back when I never received the device.
The first time I called I talked to a lady that said that the person I talked to on 4-21-11 didn't say that. She said that he told me he was going to open an investigation on the account. Then she told me that it was going to take another 7-10 days before they would even think about sending me a new device. Then she told me that she is going to look into the account and find out exactly what was going on and would call me back within an hour. I never heard back from her. I waited and hour and a half.
When I called back the guy that I talked to said that he couldn't transfer my call to her. After 20 minutes of getting the run around he said that he would put his manager on the phone if I could just hold for a few minutes, 10 minutes later his manager got on the phone. After telling him everything that happened AGAIN he said that he was going to look into it and call me back within an hour. Needless to say I DIDN'T hear from him either. SURPRISE SURPRISE. So I called back.
When I called back I told the lady that answered the phone that I wanted to talk to the manager that was above the supervisors that never called me back. Once the "manager" ,if you can call her that, picked up she tried to give me a BS line that she couldn't issue a refund or mail out a new device until the investigation was over. She said that she was going to call the investigators and find out what was going on. She asked if I wanted to have her call me back or stay on the line. Needless to say I said stay on the line. After 35 minutes of being on hold they finally disconnected my call.
I know that my time doesn't mean anything to them but it does to me. I spent well over 3 hours on hold in 1 day and still nothing is fixed. Hopefully Ripoff Report can help.

Think you can eat burgoo faster than anyone in Anderson County?
Find out by entering the inaugural Burgoo Eating Contest, a fundraiser scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 24 during the annual Burgoo Festival.
Entry is limited to the first 10 people to sign up and pay a $25 entrance fee at Ace Hardware in Lawrenceburg. All proceeds will benefit CASA, an organization that assists children going through legal proceedings.
The Lawrenceburg/Anderson County Economic Devel-opment Authority showed it was good to both give and receive during its meeting Wednesday morning at Law-renceburg City Hall.
The agency approved a $500 grant for the fledgling Anderson County Arts Council after accepted a $2,000 grant from the Lexington Board of Area Realtors (LBAR).
The Anderson Public Library will close its doors Aug. 28 to move into its temporary location as a large-scale expansion project begins.
It is scheduled to reopen Sept. 26 at 1030 B Industry Road.
The move is to accommodate the library's $4 million expansion plan to its Main Street facility, with construction expected to last approximately one year.

The surest way to spark a heated debate among magistrates is to get them talking about paving roads, and last Tuesday's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court was no exception.
Judge-Executive Orbrey Gritton asked magistrates to consider modifying the process of selecting roads to pave, which is currently done with each magistrate selecting roads in their districts and waiting to have those roads rise to the top of a rotating plan.
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." I Corinthians 13:13 (NIV).
There's little doubt that the Martin Family Circus has scored what might be the prime gig for a group making its own name at the Kentucky State Fair. The Martins, people with strong Kentucky ties, will be opening for The Oak Ridge Boys' amazingly popular – 41 years and counting – show.
It might come as a surprise that Mark Peach is winging it this football season.
A stickler for details in preparation, Peach has been known to spend countless hours studying film looking for ways to make his team more perfect and finding flaws in an opponent's armor. There's a reason he's the winningest coach in Anderson football history and has been named the state's Coach of the Year more than once. That preparation played a key role in advancing to three regional championship games in four years.
It's been a long time coming. Too long, really, but that usually goes with the territory of doing something so meaningful, so right and so fitting.
Anderson County High School will name its football field in honor of Bob Ware before Friday's home opener with George Rogers Clark. The Anderson County Board of Education approved the move in January after a lengthy process largely spearheaded by Ware's longtime friend, Teresa McWilliams.

Vickie Thacker, 5, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Thacker and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hutton appeared on the T-Bar-V show.
H.H. Hobbs was a patient at the Frankfort hospital with a fractured wrist. He went to sleep while watching television Saturday night and when he awakened and got up, he lost his balance and fell.
It's difficult to find a term to adequately describe Anderson County girls' soccer as the Lady Bearcats open the season.
Rebuilding? Perhaps. The Lady Bearcats lost five or six starters, depending on the match, and have to replace some key cogs. Midfielder Madeline Wilson is now at Morehead State University. Another midfielder, Autumn Miller has graduated as did forward Allie Johnson, one of the the team's top scorers with Wilson.
If you ever try to describe Bryndon Labhart, the football player, chances are you are going to use the term "Old School" much sooner than later.
The Anderson County High School senior is an honest-to-goodness fullback. We aren't talking about those guys who just line up a few feet behind the quarterback and are given the name because it sounds good.
Nope. Labhart is the real thing. Think a miniature Larry Csonka.

Degree Requirements
Degree Requirements
In order to earn the master's degree, students must complete fourteen courses (equivalent to 39 credits), including the four-term project requirement, with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Eleven of the thirteen courses are required courses, while the remaining three are elective courses.
Course of Study
The Master of Arts in Community Development Policy and Practice program is structured around four competency areas:
- Management — including project design, management and evaluation, policy analysis, organizational management, budgeting and financial management, human resource management, leadership, negotiations, and communication
- Health sciences — including health policy, health systems design and management, nutrition, population sciences, and reproductive health and basic epidemiology of infectious and noninfectious diseases
- Social sciences — including economics, anthropology, sociology, political science, and research methodologies
- Natural sciences and engineering — including agriculture, forestry, water management, energy, and climate and environmental sciences
Successful practitioners must be able to perceive problems from multiple points of view and through a variety of cultural lenses, including traditional academic and policy perspectives, as well as those of the communities and individuals to be served. Viewed in this way, neither traditional approaches (which emphasize theory and disciplinary academic content) nor "pedagogical inversions" (which give primacy to engagement and practice while deemphasizing theory and policy) create well-rounded community development practitioners. The program will examine each of the core disciplinary areas within the cross-cutting lenses of theory, policy, data collection and analysis, and practice.
Core Curriculum
The curriculum is a series of courses designed to help students develop and strengthen interdisciplinary breadth and communication and to build program identity and a sense of community. All courses are 3-credit courses. The eleven required courses comprise 30 credits in total, with an additional three elective courses (9 credits) for a total of 39 credits.
The sequence by which students take the eleven required and three elective courses depends on the amount of time that they plan to take to complete the degree. There are two options: a 14-month pathway and a 24-month pathway:
14-Month Pathway

As noted above, summer terms are offered on-campus in Durham, New Hampshire, while courses offered during the fall, winter/J, and spring terms (when students are in their home communities) are offered online.
The 14- and 24-month pathways have the same courses during the summer and winter/J terms. The only difference between the two pathways is that students opting for the 14-month pathway take two required courses each during the fall and spring terms, thereby allowing them to complete 39 credits in 14 months. On the other hand, students who choose the 24-month pathway take only one required course each during the fall and spring terms; thus they need two fall and spring terms to complete the 39-credit requirement.
Elective Courses
Students are required to take three elective courses. These courses are offered during the summer terms (on-campus in Durham) and the winter/J term (online for three weeks in January). At least three elective courses will be offered during each summer term, and one elective course during the winter/J term. Below is a list of elective courses.

- Community Development Finance - DPP 961
