New Zealand's earthquake-battered economy has narrowly avoided recession as it limped to 0.2 per cent growth in the October-December quarter, official data shows.
The quarterly figure, which was in line with market expectations, followed a 0.2 per cent contraction in the July-September quarter. Two straight quarters of negative growth would have put New Zealand in a technical recession.
Statistics New Zealand said the 0.2 per cent growth in gross domestic product in the final three months of 2010 meant New Zealand's economy expanded by 1.5 per cent during the calendar year.
It said New Zealand's economic performance in late 2010 was affected by an earthquake that hit Christchurch in September, claiming no lives but causing extensive damage.
"Short-term impacts from the September earthquake on GDP were expected due to disruption to infrastructure, and businesses being closed," SNZ said.
A second quake hit Christchurch on February 22, causing even more damage and killing an estimated 182 people. The government has said it expects the disaster to cripple growth in the first half of 2011.

Benefit Georgia Face Powder
Benefit Georgia Face Powder ($28.00 for 0.4 oz.) is a pale, warm-toned peachy pressed powder. Benefit describes it as, "Our "just peachy" face powder leaves your complexion warm and vibrant. Georgia is a dream…it's peaches and cream!"
Georgia is best used as a sheer, all-over powder on light to medium skin-tones. I think darker skin tones will find this can go on ashy or so sheer they're not sure they've put anything on. It's really good for brightening and warming up lighter skin tones, so it's actually a very product for barely-there makeup days. When I'm in a rush, this is something I can easily dust on to make my face look a little more alive and less likely I only slept four hours the night before.
I think only the lightest of skin tones will find this useful as a blusher, just because the color is both sheer and pale. In my swatch, there's only a hint of product that shows up, so you can see that my NC25/30 skin tone starts to get close to the end of the spectrum for this product's usefulness. I also think that some people go into purchasing this product expecting to use it as a blusher, and then find themselves disappointed by its sheerness. I do like it as an all-over face powder, but it does have shimmer in it, so if you don't want shimmer all over your face, this isn't the best choice in all-over powders for you.
Additionally, this can be used as a highlighter on cheeks alone, too. It's a more versatile product than you'd think, but I think a lot of us just get trapped into expecting a blush and not getting it. Georgia also feels a bit powdery/chalky, which is yet another reason I think it's not a workable product on darker skin tones. I find this best applies with a stippling brush (like MAC's 187) all over the face for a light, warmed up look without too much shimmer or product.
By the ounce, Benefit Face Powders/Blush colors are actually cheaper than MAC! Benefit comes in at $70.00/oz. while MAC is $88.10/oz. Benefit Face Powders/Blushes are actually some of the most bang-for-your-buck in the high-end department. The packaging is cute and exactly what I'd expect out of Benefit. Georgia actually does have a light peach scent to it, though it's not something I notice while wearing the product–only when I sniff the product itself.
Bottom line: It's not replacing any products I'm already using, and I'd probably be more apt to use it if it provided more of a peachy blush color than an all-over color. I prefer other highlighters and all-over powders with setting qualities, as well. It's a quality product, but it doesn't work for everyone, and it's best used as an easy all-over powder. I think if that's what you're looking for, you'd enjoy this product. For others, this is nice, but it isn't a must-have.
- Product: 25/30
- Value: 9/10
- Ease of Use: 3/5
- Packaging: 4/5
Recommendation: If you're looking for a sheer, warm-toned all-over powder and you're light to medium in skintone, this might work for you.

Benefit Velvet Eyeshadows
Benefit Velvet Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.11 oz.) are velvety, silky-soft eyeshadows with smooth color that go on effortlessly and blend seamlessly. Seriously, I absolutely fell head-over-heels in love with these from the moment I swatched them on my skin. They're ridiculously soft and exactly as they're named–velvety. There's little else that is as suitable to describe it as like velvet. I find that these also blend really easily both within the Benefit brand but with other brands' shadows, too (always a plus).Read Full Review

Jimmie Taylor started it.
New Williams answered.
William "HaHa" Lee may have the last word and the last laugh.
In the debate on which basketball program owns this state, Alabama and Auburn are making noise.
Only UAB's making history.
Taylor, Alabama's junior post man, got this ball rolling when he offered this simple declarative sentence the other day before the Crimson Tide traveled to Auburn: "This is our state."
Alabama had won three straight in the series until Auburn responded with an 83-77 victory Tuesday, prompting Auburn's freshman guard Williams to ask on Twitter, "Who's state? Yea that's what I thought."
Of course, he meant "whose state" - and quickly blamed auto-correct - but this isn't a grammar debate. It's about which program has the upper hand in this state.
If the sample size is head-to-head meetings this season, Bruce Pearl and Auburn have bragging rights. The Tigers are 2-0 with that Alabama win and a 75-74 thriller over UAB in the season opener in the Auburn Arena.
Alabama still refuses to play UAB - Avery Johnson will discover that subject's above his pay grade, too - so those are the only times the teams have met so far. Auburn will visit Alabama on Feb. 27, and they could tangle for a third time in the SEC Tournament.
Alabama's argument in this discussion would be the highest RPI in the state. As of Thursday morning, according to NCAA.com's rankings, the Tide's No. 52, Auburn is No. 70 and UAB is No. 98.
But the RPI is more a function of whom you've played than how you've played. On the scoreboard, UAB wins hands down.
Alabama's 10-7 overall and 1-4 in the SEC. Auburn's 9-8 and 3-3. The Tide and Tigers wish they had UAB's record.
Going into Thursday night's 8 o'clock home game against Rice, the Blazers are 15-3 overall and 5-0 in Conference USA. They've won 12 straight games, the second-best streak in the nation behind undefeated 18-0 SMU, and haven't lost since Nov. 28.
For perspective, that was the day of the Iron Bowl.
Jerod Haase's fourth UAB team isn't just winning home and away, in tight games and blowouts, with different players such as the sophomore forward Lee leading the way each time out. These Blazers are closing in on a number of school records.
Beat Rice tonight, and it'll tie the 1991-92 team for the longest win streak in school history at 13 games. Anytime a UAB team matches or betters a record set by a Gene Bartow team, it's special.
Defend the home court tonight in Bartow Arena, and the Blazers will set the school record of 20 straight home wins. The record of 19 was set over two seasons in 2005-06 and 2006-07 by Mike Anderson's last UAB team and Mike Davis' first.
There were some growing pains early this season, but this UAB team is building on last year's C-USA Tournament title and NCAA Tournament upset of Iowa State. No one's suggesting the Blazers will run the table from here, but it'll be an upset if they don't defend their C-USA Tournament title at Legacy Arena at the BJCC and return to the Big Dance.
When's the last time UAB went to the NCAA Tournament two straight years? Anderson took the Blazers there three straight seasons from 2003-04 through 2005-06.
Alabama and Auburn fans should remember that time period.
The Tide's last NCAA Tournament win came in 2006. For the Tigers, it was 2003.
Pearl and Johnson have Auburn and Alabama moving in the right direction, but they're playing catch-up. Haase has UAB in a good place on and off the floor. Last year, his Blazers turned a corner. This year, they're raising the bar, and they're far from finished.

Obama has few good options in Iraq, but the worst choice would be emulating George W. Bush.
Posts Tagged: sectarian violence
How the Obama administration can make good on its stated preference for diplomacy over war.
Iraq's problems are in large part the result of recent disasters--like the U.S. invasion and the Syrian civil war--not ancient grievances.
Being a woman in Iraq was difficult before the current conflict. The current wave of militarization threatens to make life even worse.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki isn't the only one responsible for Iraq's woes -- history, U.S. foreign policy, and meddling neighbors are also to blame.
Iraq's latest elections were relatively free and fair, but they won't do much to resolve the country's stark sectarian divides.
In the wake of the Kunming attack, experts expect the Chinese government to crack down hard on Uighurs and anyone sympathetic to them.
The neoconservatives and liberal interventionists were discredited long ago, but the United States still has an obligation to help solve the Syrian crisis.
Sunni Hamas and Shiite Hezbollah have apparently agreed to disagree on Syria while maintaining a strategic partnership against Israel.
In Iraq, the U.S. broke a nation of human beings, and it owes them an apology--and restitution.

St- Jean is one of the most popular beaches on St Barths. It actually comprises of two beaches divided in the middle by the famous and stunning Eden Rock Hotel. St Jean is also home to Nikki beach. It is a spectacular beach with pure white sands and calm waters which are perfect for snorkelling. This is home to the famous Eden Rock Hotel and Nikki Beach.
Saint Jean is second in size to the Capital of Gustavia and is also the only other sizable town in St Barths. St Jean sits on the Island's North Shore on Baie de St-Jean just over the hill from Gustavia. The small airport of St Barths lies at one end of St Jean and it is always fascinating to watch the tiny planes coming into land over a steep hill and down onto the very short runway. As well as the beautiful Eden Rock Hotel, there are several other nice restaurants and bars along St Jean Beach. Behind the beach, just a couple of minutes walk from Villa Nina, is the small town where there are two rows of very chic shops and some restaurants and bars.
The main restaurant at the Eden Rock is also worth a mention. Aptly named On The Rocks, it has a beautiful atmosphere under the stars matched by with fabulous internationally inspired cuisine by the world famous chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
St Barths is a stunning volcanic mass of 8 square miles. St Barths has a wonderful French flavour combined with the unique warmth and friendliness of the Caribbean. It offers an incredible level of sophistication and stunningly beautiful beaches and landscapes. You will feel you have landed in paradise when you arrive at Gustave III Airport. St Barths or St Barth in French is truly one of the most naturally beautiful, peaceful and safe Islands in the world.
St Barths is part of the French West Indies and is one of the most chic and glamorous destinations in the world. It is also one of the safest places in the world with virtually no crime at all. One of the few places where you can leave your car open with your bag inside and it will still be there when you return. Some of the most stylish and wealthy people in the world have homes in St Barths and it attracts many celebrities. The island is full of incredible restaurants, designer shopping, trendy bars and wonderful gourmet restaurants. It is incredibly glamorous especially in the Capital Gustavia which is set against a back drop of luxury yachts and designer boutiques but there is also a wonderful down to earth side of the Island with its surprisingly dramatic and beautiful terrain, ranging from rocky peaks to picturesque coves, stunning white sandy beaches and crystal clear, warm turquoise waters. St Barths is also appealing because of what it lacks. There are no casinos, no golf courses, no major airport, no high rise hotels, no waterslides and no man made attractions. It is a rare and resilient beauty. It is a true paradise.
Covering just eight square miles, St Barths is one of the oldest volcanic islands in the Lesser Antilles. It was discovered in 1493 by Christopher Columbus during his second voyage to the New World. He re-named the island in honour of his brother, Bartholoméo. Development in St Barths has been so carefully controlled. It is not over developed with its growth being severely controlled. Preserving the natural beauty of the island has been a major priority so you'll find restored buildings that hark back to its days as a free port under Swedish rule and traditional Caribbean colonial-style houses, some brightly painted others white and cool behind their slatted shutters. St Barths also has a wonderful and diverse range of animals and birds, including iguanas, turtles, pelicans - the island's mascot - and the little hummingbirds, as well as quaint fishing villages, lagoons, forts and picturesque churches.
Gustavia is one of the prettiest harbour towns in the Caribbean. Its steep bay walls tumble to a rectangular waterfront with attractive red-roofed buildings overlooking the harbour from three sides. There is a lovely board walk around much of the waterfront. Here you will find lots of small boats and tenders moored at the restaurants and bars which gives it a lovely atmosphere. In the winter season, Gustavia is one of the most fashionable places in the world with many luxury yachts moored shoulder to shoulder.
On shore the streets are steep and narrow and full of character. There is often a lively buzz around many of the bars and restaurants particularly along the boardwalk. The streets are lined with serious fashion names such as Louis Vuitton and Hermes as well as some beautiful boutiques and designers that are unique to St Barths.
There are fourteen beaches on St. Barths, all blessed with gleaming white sand. Few are crowded, even in peak season. All are public and free and each has a distinct personality.

You find a website your really like and you add it to your RSS feed reader. But, what happens if a great website dose not have an RSS feed?
This happens a lot as many websites do not have a RSS feed or if they do it is broken. The fix for this is quite easy, use a page to RSS converter website . There are several of them:
All of these different websites offer RSS feed capabilities for webpages/websites, Some charge for this service, some don't. They all follow the same simple setup (using Page2RSS as an example):
1. Get the URL of the webpage (note not website but webpage, if there are multiple pages on one website you want to follow then you will need to get all their URLs) you want to follow.
2. Paste the URL in at which ever website you use and click the create button.
3. Outcomes a new URL that is your very own RSS feed for that page (note in the picture it is the same URL but that is because my blog already has an RSS feed). Basically, it sends a web bot to a webpage to see if any changes have been made to it and then reports those changes back to you.
Some things to be aware of:

Well, it wasn't Clippers versus Spurs, was it? But the Preakness wasn't a bad showcase for a sport considered by some to be "in trouble."
Here's horse racing's chief source of trouble: the mainstream media that shows up once a year on an expense account at the Kentucky Derby and has an assistant scare up another sport-in-peril story.
Horse racing is changing fast.
The "majors," the Triple Crown races and the Breeder's Cup, draw great on site and on TV.
During the rest of the year, nobody goes to the live races, but lots bet at simulcast joints and at home.
Find a more exciting recent sporting event than the Preakness. Go ahead. I'll be right here waiting to hear about it.
Everybody sees different things during a day at the races. Here is what I saw.
Two tracks had very good days: Belmont Park, which will be the bull's-eye of the sports world in three weeks, and Santa Anita, which put real-earth dirt back on its racing surface and has become a major player in the majors, running 1-2-3 here.
I'll Have Another was one of the great prices in recent Triple Crown history at 3.20-to-1 odds, particularly in light of Went the Day Lousy finishing next to last at 5-1 and Daddy Nose Sunland finishing third from the bottom at 11-1.
Pimlico determined that the next best thing to having slot machines in the infield was putting Maroon 5 in the infield.
Any public handicapper who couldn't see that Bodemeister would have an uncontested lead and would be tough to run down will have a difficult time shaking the tag of disgrace to the profession.
Behind third, the field was sorry, the new stuff belonging in allowance races at halfway-decent tracks across the land.
I would have to say that my handicapping of the Preakness got a grade of B-plus. Flip back and see for yourself, as Plan B was a direct hit, and the calls of "Hurry Wire" for Bodemeister and "Tough Cookie" for the winner, and "Daddy Nose Sunland," carrying logic through the stretch.
Bob Baffert's wife seemed to know their horse was in trouble before anybody else did, suggesting on a replay of the owner's box that he could lose while still maintaining a comfortable lead at the middle of the stretch.
Pimlico determined that the next best thing to having slot machines in the infield was putting Maroon 5 in the infield.
The smart money came on Creative Cause, smart money being late money probably from somebody closely involved, dropping the horse a full point on the tote. Smart money can only know of one horse, not the race as a whole. Creative Cause ran like it always runs, decently, but not as good as the time before.
I'll Have Another has the style of staying in touch with the lead to win the Belmont, as nothing closes all that much at the distance.
What would a Triple Crown winner do for this land of ours?
A horse named for an act of wanting a snack?
A heretofore unknown rider who seemed to misjudge the Derby finish line?
A trainer alleged to have used questionable tactics out west?
A zillionaire owner?
This group was made to improve this country's spirits.

BROOKLYN - Police say a 2-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital after an accidental overdose in Sea Gate.
Police say the boy's parents had been looking for a pill that was recently lost in their home. They say the boy found and ingested the pill.
Officials say he had difficulty breathing and his lips were blue. He was rushed to Coney Island Hospital, where he is in stable condition.
Officials did not release the type of pill the boy ingested. No criminality is suspected in the incident.

So if he misses 6 games for a suspension and he comes back to play 10, then just those 10 games would count against the cap.
So ~2.6m base cap hit + (9 games, because the first game is already counted towards the initial base cap hit x 575k per game) = ~7.8m cap hit instead of the total 11.3 cap hit total if he would play 16 games.
Only problem is that Cowboys are ~2-3m under the cap right now, but they still need to sign their draft picks which will cost 5-6m against the cap.
So if draft picks were to count against the cap right now, they would be 2-3m over the cap without even Hardy's future cap hits even being accounted for yet.
Signing Dez to a long term contract and reducing his cap hit this year should help, and then I also see that a lot of Cowboys fans expect Brandon Carr to be restructured or released to help with cap relief.

Wandi residents have "seen the writing on the wall" as the area develops and grows, but residents have hesitations about the change.
Kwinana City Council approved a detailed area plan for the Honeywood Estate in Wandi at a meeting last week, adding another residential area to the suburb, which was once exclusively a special rural area.
The move also effectively divides the suburb into old and new Wandi.
Wandi Progress Association committee member Rod Cocks, who has lived in the area for 30 years, said the addition of the estate was not without its hiccups but was generally accepted by the community.
"Everybody on the progress association can see the writing on the wall," he said.
"The people who are close to Honeywood aren't that happy with it, obviously because of the increase in traffic and the noise.
"But the people through the other parts of Wandi — it isn't really affecting them at this stage.
"We've got a good relationship with Honeywood, we've supported them with a few things and they've supported us, so our relationship with them as an association is good," he said.
Mr Cocks said residents were concerned about more through-traffic, vandalism and hooning.
"We've been getting approached by people from Honeywood about using the tennis courts and joining the play group and that sort of thing.
"Having people move into the area is going to help the groups already here," he said.
"What is affecting a lot of the locals though is the through-traffic, the rat-runs.
"That's creating a few problems and you only have to go to the corners to find the burn-out marks.

In this work, we report for the first time on the use of melt spun glass-forming alloys - Ti75Zr10Si15 (TZS) and Ti60Zr10Si15Nb15 (TZSN) - as substrates for the growth of anodic oxide nanotube layers. Upon their anodization in ethylene glycol based electrolytes, highly ordered nanotube layers were achieved. In comparison to TiO2 nanotube layers grown on Ti foils, under the same conditions for reference, smaller diameter nanotubes (~ 116 nm for TZS and ~ 90 nm for TZSN) and shorter nanotubes (~ 11.5 μm and ~ 6.5 μm for TZS and TZSN, respectively) were obtained for both amorphous alloys. Furthermore, TEM and STEM studies, coupled with EDX analysis, revealed a double-wall structure of the as-grown amorphous oxide nanotubes with Ti species being enriched in the inner wall, and Si species in the outer wall, whereby Zr and Nb species were homogeneously distributed. 2016-08-28T00:00:00Z Charge transport in anodic TiO2 nanotubes studied by terahertz spectroscopy http://hdl.handle.net/10195/65312 Charge transport in anodic TiO2 nanotubes studied by terahertz spectroscopy Krbal, Miloš; Kuchařík, Jiří; Sopha, Hanna; Němec, Hynek; Macák, Jan M. We report on the photoelectrochemical and terahertz measurements, of the charge transport properties of 1 μm thick self-organized TiO2 nanotube layers, prepared by the anodization of titanium. We provide evidence regarding the complexity of electron transport, and dynamics in the nanotubes. Shortly after photoexcitation, charge mobilites in amorphous and crystalline nanotubes are similar, but still lower compared to the bulk anatase. The mobility subsequently decreases due to trapping-detrapping processes. The recombination rate in anatase nanotubes is much slower than in the amorphous ones, enabling the material to reach an internal photon to electron conversion efficiency exceeding 60%. 2016-08-24T00:00:00Z Solvent and branching effect on the two-photon absorption properties of push-pull triphenylamine derivatives http://hdl.handle.net/10195/65259 Solvent and branching effect on the two-photon absorption properties of push-pull triphenylamine derivatives Cvejn, Daniel; Michail, E.; Seintis, M.; Klikar, M.; Pytela, Oldřich; Mikysek, Tomáš; Almonasy, Numan; Ludwig, Miroslav; Giannetas, V.; Fakis, M.; Bureš, Filip The photophysical and two-photon absorption (2PA) properties of two tri-podal molecules and of their quadrupolar and dipolar counterparts are reported for a series of solvents with varying polarity. The molecules possess a tri-phenylamine electron donating group and mono-cyano acceptors while olefinic and acetylenic π-linkers have been used. Branching led to an increase of the molar extinction coefficient and to a slight bathochromic shift of the absorption spectra while the fluorescence quantum yields decrease but they are maintained to relatively high values. Solvatochromic measurements in the tri-podal molecules revealed an emitting state with a polar nature. The 2PA cross sections in general increase upon branching but the observed behaviour strongly depends on the type of solvent. The highest 2PA cross sections are obtained in solvents of medium polarity and values as high as 1420 GM are reported 2016-01-20T00:00:00Z C,N-Chelated organotin(IV) azides: synthesis, structure and use within click chemistry http://hdl.handle.net/10195/65258 C,N-Chelated organotin(IV) azides: synthesis, structure and use within click chemistry Švec, Petr; Bartoš, Karel; Růžičková, Zdeňka; Cuřínová, Petra; Dušek, Libor; Turek, Jan; De Profit, Frank; Růžička, Aleš A set of tri- and diorganotin(IV) azides bearing 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl as a C,N-chelating ligand (LCN) has been prepared and structurally characterized. Triorganotin(IV) azides of the type LCNR2SnN3 (R = n-Bu (1) and Ph (2)) and (LCN)2(n-Bu)SnN3 are monomeric both in solution and in the solid state. The central tin atom in these species is five-coordinated with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Diorganotin(IV) azides of the type LCNRSn(N3)2 (R = n-Bu and Ph) are monomeric with trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom as well. Finally, (LCN)2Sn(N3)2 contains a six-coordinated tin atom with heavily distorted octahedral geometry due to the presence of two LCN units. The potential use of selected organotin(IV) azides 1 and 2 as useful building blocks within click chemistry was investigated. The reactions of 1 and 2 with various nitriles resulted in the formation of corresponding triorganotin(IV) tetrazolides (i.e. κ-N1: LCN(n-Bu)2Sn(5-MeCN4), LCNPh2Sn(5-MeCN4), LCN(n-Bu)2Sn(5-Me2NCH2CN4), LCNPh2Sn(5-Me2NCH2CN4); and κ-N2: LCN(n-Bu)2Sn(5-t-BuCN4), LCNPh2Sn(5-t-BuCN4), LCN(n-Bu)2Sn(5-PhCN4), LCNPh2Sn(5-PhCN4)). Similarly, the reaction of 1 and 2 with cyclooctyne provided corresponding C,N-chelated di-n-butyl/diphenyltin(IV) κ-N1 4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydrocycloocta[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-ides. All azido complexes and products of the [3+2] cycloaddition reactions were characterized by the combination of elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and, in the case of crystalline materials, XRD analysis.

|I was leaving the house for the range and found my scope (3x12-40) delivered, I picked it up and took it along, I mounted it with rough estimates in the rifle bay and did not center before hand. I was able to zero in at 100 yards, soon realizing that any deviations from the average cluster were due to my lack of technique. I await the free time to center, levelx3, and precisely align this scope with my bore. This scope is great for my Saiga .223.
|instructions were not specific to my model,I could use more explanation as I'm new to technical target shooting and scopes.

Footstrap problem

Hi Thomas,
I was wondering why you didn't come down here with Scott?
As far as your footstrap problem, take the screws out and check the anti twist devices (the little black plastic plates with a round tang on one side and a bunch of little "spikes" on the other side.
Also check to see that you have the correct "oval toothed washer" on top of the footstrap under the screw.
It could be that your anti-twist devices have been damaged (by looser than normal FS screw tightening) and they need to be replaced.
Also check that the area where the little "spikes" engage on the bottom side of your footstraps is not all torn up so the spikes can no longer hold the angle of the footstrap.
If the oval toothed washers are "buckled down" in the center, you might add a thin SS washer (like you use on the fin screws) over the toothed washer to get it to engage in the footstrap a little better.
I'll look for you next spring!
Hope this helps,

lol, this is very amateurish compared to Goku Turns Evil
This was a great sprite fight of yours,it started off with a creative touch with the rap song and when the fight got started it was hyped up from the start and didn't really let go which was pretty much how the real Goku vs. Frieza fight went,the different songs throughout fit really well for certain parts during the fight,the fact that this is one of two parts is pretty nice too and as for this first part i enjoyed it very much and think you did a great job on this.
That fight was pretty good.
I like it. :)
"That Was Cool"
That was pretty cool. If get better sprites maybe this flash would've gotten a HIGHER SCORE. I know where to get some good Goku sprites. PM me if you want to know.
Pretty good
you did quite an amazing job but the text was unreadable and went away too fast
i also think you shouldn't let the screen shake thát much but its still great
Gotcha about the text, i'll try to fix it next time

What is winter carnival you might ask?
Winter Carnival is a 1 day extravaganza put on by Red Lodge Mountain Resort with tons of events, prizes and good times. Complete with live music, a rail jam, cardboard classic, tons of prize give aways it is an epic way to spend a Saturday.
Update: We are sad to announce that we have cancelled the Cardboard Classic Race for this year's Winter Carnival.
To safely operate the Cardboard Classic we must build two large snow berms - one that separates the crafts from the spectators and ski traffic, and one at the finish line to stop crafts in front of the Main Lodge. These berms take a massive amount of snow to build, and as many of you know, we have received an unusually low amount of snowfall this season. That being said, we are unable to build the berms that would ensure a safe event for both participants and spectators.
We will keep all other events on the schedule, including the Rail Jam, live music, fireworks, and torchlight parade. For those that have built a craft and would like to show off their work, we will also be judging and awarding for most creative. There is no fee to enter the costume or craft contest.
To help ease pain, we will be selling adult lift tickets for $35 during Winter Carnival. These lift tickets will be available at the ticket windows.

Not a bad jacket but too generic and feels low rent alongside its competition
Could do better in the comfort and reflective stakes
Fast, responsive carbon clincher wheels at a competitive price
Easy-fit downtube-mounted front mudguard offering good protection at a fair price
A smart little device and all round package that makes those dark winter rides a little bit safer; easy set up too
Really comfortable and warm merino base layer but the price will put some off
Great road-specific light with lots of output; quality & performance justifies high price
Good cold-weather jersey for dry rides, could do with a bit more pocket space
Comfortable, well-made gloves that provide a good level of warmth considering their lack of bulk, but they'll cost you
Effective leg muscle warmer, especially useful in cold weather.
Good rear light with lasers that add visibility if not necessarily virtual lanes
Nicely designed shell with good balance between weatherproofing and breathability; second pocket would be nice
A cracking light for night time racers who want to travel at speed, up against some stiff opposition from its big brother though, the Apex.
Unique and capable foul weather cover, not quite as breathable as some
Two gloves for the price of one; these fluoro gloves work really well as liners and as cool-weather gloves in their own right
Fast and peerless handling with all the benefits of hydraulic disc brakes, it sets the benchmark, but it's not cheap
A good looking workhorse for winter riding; soft yet strong
Well made back up light for country lane use or urban commutes. Good visibility but watch those burn times
Lightweight jersey in a slim cut that does a good job of keeping you warm on autumn, spring and milder winter days
Generously cut Italian winter jersey that's super toasty, annoying zip/fabric conflict though

When I go buy a scratchcard, I usually buy one of those $20 ones. One can't really expect to win a whole lot of money when they go buy a one-dollar scratchcard. Whether one wins a free ticket or a couple bucks, it just doesn't feel like a win. However, with a $20 scratchcard (which might not seem like that much to you, but for an unemployed college student like myself, this is essentially, for lack of a better term and redundant gambling analogies, going all-in) there is a higher chance of winning more money.
Most likely, I'll end up tossing the losing ticket in the trash can in a couple seconds but the risk/reward is worth it.
The National Football League this year hosts several overwhelming favorites that cannot be disputed: the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, and the San Francisco 49ers are the prohibitive teams that can make a deep playoff run. According to Bovada.lv, they have the best chances of winning the Lombardi Trophy, with the Patriots at 11/2, Packers at 6/1, and the Niners at 9/1.
Then there are the solid teams like the Steelers, Texans, and Ravens who are in the running barring any disastrous collapses. These teams have the sufficient tools on offense, defense, and special teams to sustain injuries, but may not hold the potential upside that the other wild-card teams have. One can't really lose gambling with these teams, but the bigger prize isn't in their sights either.
The next three teams are the ones to keep an eye on all season. While the risk/reward is high for each and every one of them, they all possess the ability to make a dark-horse run through the playoffs and win the whole thing or fall prey to significant flaws that will catapult them into the lower rungs of the draft order.
Simply put, either that $20 scratchcard is going to make you a lot of money, or you'll spend another 20 next time hoping for better results.

- Events
Includes:National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989), MPAA Rating: PG-13 Elf (2003), MPAA Rating: PG Fred Claus (2007), MPAA Rating: PG National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Chevy Chase, star of National Lampoon's Vacation and its sequel, is back as the paterfamilias of the Griswold family (including Beverly D'Angelo as his missus) to skewer the Yuletide season. Chevy mugs, trips, falls, mashes his fingers and stubs his toes as he prepares to invite numerous dysfunctional relatives to his household to celebrate Christmas. Amidst the more outrageous sight gags (including the electrocution of a cat as the Christmas tree is lit) the film betrays a sentimental streak, with old wounds healing and long-estranged relatives reuniting in the Griswold living room. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was still capable of attracting an audience five years after its release: It was one of the top-rated seasonal TV specials of 1994, outrating even the first network telecast of It's a Wonderful Life. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Elf For his sophomore stab at directing, actor/writer/director Jon Favreau (Swingers, Made), took on this holiday comedy starring Saturday Night Live-alum Will Ferrell. Ferrell stars as Buddy, a regular-sized man who was raised as an elf by Santa Claus (Edward Asner). When the news is finally broken to Buddy that he's not a real elf, he decides to head back to his place of birth, New York City, in search of his biological family. Elf also stars James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, Zooey Deschanel, and Bob Newhart. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide Fred Claus Santa's black-sheep brother gets a much-needed shot at redemption in this holiday comedy reuniting actor Vince Vaughn and director David Dobkin (Clay Pigeons, Wedding Crashers). It's not easy being the brother of a benevolent and beloved saint, and no one knows that better than Fred Claus (Vaughn). After struggling for years to live up to the example set by his younger sibling Nicholas (Paul Giamatti), Fred has finally given up. These days Fred is working as a repo man taken to stealing the items he repossesses, and his shady tactics have just landed him in jail. While Mrs. Claus vehemently insists that Fred fend for himself, Nicholas refuses to sit idly by as his brother rots in jail and agrees to set bail if Fred will repay the debt by coming to the North Pole and help make toys for the upcoming Christmas season. But Fred isn't nearly as productive as your average elf, and he's got quite an attitude to boot. With Christmas fast approaching and Fred threatening to sideline Nicholas' entire finely tuned operation, the brother that always struggled to get out from under his sibling's substantial shadow finds out just how far the patience of a saint can be pushed before jolly old Santa reaches his breaking point. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Skip to comments.44 Acres of Coastline Collapse in Hawaii
Posted on 12/02/2005 9:14:27 PM PST by Daralundy
HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii - About 44 acres of coastline collapsed into the ocean this week, setting loose a glowing stream of lava that shot out from the newly exposed cliffside 45 feet above the water. The plume, 6 feet in diameter, sent up a tower of steam as it hit the water and began forming a ramp of new land.
The collapse of solidified lava shelf and sea cliff Monday was the largest since Kilauea Volcano began its current eruption in 1983.
Jim Kauahikaua, scientist-in-charge of the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, said a collapse warning was issued in June because the shelf had become large and had formed cracks. Large collapses had happened in the area before.
Rumblings tipped scientists to Monday's collapse, which took about 4 1/2 hours. Even at that relatively slow pace, the effect was spectacular.
"The cliff just caved away like a glacier," said park spokesman Jim Gale. "It just sheared off that old wall. There's this gigantic steam plume and you see the red just falling down _ an incredible fire hose display."
The collapse sent out globs of lava and head-size boulders. Sheets of volcanic glass called limu o Pele, after the Hawaiian goddess of fire, and thin strands of volcanic glass known as Pele's hair were found 1,800 feet inland.
Has George Norry been informed?
Okay, I'll be the first: Global Warming.
Okay, I'll be the first: This is Bush's fault.
Okay, I'll be the first: Signs of the End Times.
Another reason I am glad I live 2000 miles away from the Left Coast...
36 seconds.
"About 44 acres of coastline collapsed into the ocean this week..."
No big deal. When coastline collapses into the ocean, what are you left with? More coastline.
Considering how much an acre of coastline cost in Hawaii, that was an expensive collapse. ;-)
Okay, I'll be first: Buy GOLD!
Okay, I'll be the first. It's called NATURE.
I dunno. How big is the island?
I had a friend once that was a photographer and he was standing on the cliffs over the sea where the flows were coming out trying to get some awesome pictures of the hot lave pouring into the sea. That shelf also gave way and he was never seen again...What a way to go , no?
< /sarcasm >
Sorry to hear but I bet it was quick.
If only Bush had signed the Kyoto protocol and not attacked Iraq, this wouldn't have happened!
< / sarc
Not that I care (I didn't even care about the Tsunami) but it is actually reduced coastline. If you were to picture the island as a circle, a collapse of the coastline could only result in a circle with a smaller circumfernce. Unless somehow the collaps of the coastline left massive fjords like you see in Norway.
Yeah, but the East Coast has talk of the Canary Islands sloughing off, sending huge wave to wipe out coastal cities.
The overwhelming majority of the tsunami research community has roundly debunked this scenario; landslide tsunami have difficulty propagating long distances. It's something frantically overhyped.
Re: "Yeah, but the East Coast has talk of the Canary Islands sloughing off, sending huge wave to wipe out coastal cities."
Yeah, that's why I am also happy to be 1,000 miles from the East Coast and some 300 miles from the Gulf Coast...
That's okay. They'll make more.
In this photo provided by the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, the collapse of 44-acres, (17.6-hectares) at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is seen falling into the ocean Monday, Nov. 28, 2005, exposing a 60-foot cliff and a 6-foot in diameter stream of lava shooting from the cliff face. The glowing lava has since formed a ramp of new land as it continues to pour out into the ocean sending up a tower of steam. The collapse of solidified lava and sea cliff is the largest since Kilauea Volcano began its current eruption in 1983. (AP Photo/Courtesy U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory)
Correct me if wrong, but I thought it was just the opposite. I believe Hawaii is actually building itself and growing.
Looks like another drunk castmember of "Lost" was up to no good.
what a pessimist....i say hawaii is growing a coastline
I have been to Hawaii Volcano Park several times and have stood within several feet of the surface flows of this volcano. It is amazing to see up close and our pictures do not fully capture the awe you feel being there. The rangers go to the lava flows with groups and they tell people not to go past a certain point. The volcano is relatively calm in that it is not spewing lava, but is just slow flowing. But wow, I remember seeing part of this coast being formed and now its falling into the ocean.
Damn Republicans really flame my butt!
"That's why I am also happy to be 1,000 miles from the East Coast and some 300 miles from the Gulf Coast..."
Two words: New Madrid!
Geologic records show that a large chunk of one of the Islands fell into the ocean. It send a wave over 400' tall right into the bay of Honolulu if I recall. (It was some place with lots of skyscrappers). And they're monitoring some big huge crack (miles long and several feet wide) on one of the islands for movement.
Actually, on an island, if enough coastline falls away, you are left with only ocean.
When does a cuumb become half a crumb?
Crumb boy im dump
Who is talking about that?
Come'on a 1000' wave generated that will travel thousands of miles because a big chuck of relatively small island fell into the sea. How far can it fall? A few hundred feet?
It think those talking about this have been watching too many Hollywood scifi movies.
The lava bubble has burst.
About 44 acres smaller now.
The photo looks like it was 44 acres of vertical land.
That, and the fact that I had a date last night - it's The Apocalypse!
"Actually, on an island, if enough coastline falls away, you are left with only ocean."
True, but this seemed like a pretty big island. Besides, my comment was meant to be cleverly humorous, not topographically correct. :)
This is awesome.
Hope someone filmed it.
"I had a friend once that was a photographer and he was standing on the cliffs over the sea where the flows were coming out trying to get some awesome pictures of the hot lave pouring into the sea. That shelf also gave way and he was never seen again...What a way to go , no?"
OOOUCH! Wouldn't want to be in his shoes.
Nice picture!
Scoffers are also a "sign of the times".
The ongoing lava flow, which caused the collapse, will fill in the gap and then some. This side of the island is a growing edge.

When I heard the news from Mildred Gaddis while doing her radio show this morning, I was saddened (though not surprised, since it was well known that his health was failing) but I also felt a sudden surge of pride and appreciation for the man, even though I never knew him personally.
For many like me who grew up in Detroit in the 1980s, Don Barden had remained an outsized figure for decades, his story this cool-ass by-the-bootstraps mix of Horatio Alger, Berry Gordy, Bill Rasmussen and, yes, Donald Trump.
He'd started as a small-time record store owner but soon showed that sometimes a man's reach and his grasp can be equal. He took profits from his stores and other small ventures and started up the cable company, Barden Cablevision, that would become an undisputed iconic business in the annals of black Detroit, right up there with other legendary throwbacks like the original WGPR-TV, Blue Eagle Cab Co. and Dot & Etta's Shrimp Hut.
But Barden may have been even more visionary than his contemporaries, as he became among the first to start wiring Detroit (and Inkster, Romulus and Van Buren Township) for cable, so far ahead of the curve that he managed to get a jump, albeit short-lived, on even many of the big telecoms.
That's how many in my generation really came to know him, as the "cable man," the brother who turned us on that growing world of fare beyond channels 2, 4, 7 and 62.
But in truth, Don Barden was far more than this, was perhaps as multidimensional in business as Magic Johnson used to be on the basketball court. He developed real estate, invested in car sales in Namibia, expanded his communications business and eventually moved into hotels and casinos.
His jump into gaming proved most lucrative for Barden—at least for a while. He became the first black man to own a casino in Las Vegas, and he'd also go on to own casinos in Mississippi, Indiana and Colorado.
Of course, he was infamously shut out of gaming in Detroit, mainly by then-Mayor Dennis, who seemed to personalize the whole thing by, according to many, contending that he had no interesting in making one rich black man richer.
Barden never seemed to get over the slight either:
May 19, Detroit Free Press: Barden said in 2004 that he harbored anger over the denial of a casino license.
"I got screwed and the city got screwed," he told the Free Press at the time, saying the owners of the casinos at the time were taking profits out of the city when he would have reinvested profits into Detroit.
Sadly, Barden's late years weren't nearly as charmed as her earlier ones. His health faltered. His gaming enterprises lost millions, and he was recently forced to declare bankruptcy. Even worse, his longtime marriage to Wayne County COO Bella Marshall began to disintegrate and led to a brief, though public, fight over his business.
Perhaps Barden didn't go exactly the way he would have wanted, but considering the full arc of his life, nobody in their right mind would ever consider Don Barden anything less than an unqualified success. Moreover, he was an inspiration for a successive generation of black entrepreneurs, treading fearlessly into ventures rarely considered by many African-Americans businessmen of his time.
In some ways then, Don Barden was always the "cable man," his hard work and inspirational story wiring minds in Detroit to the many possibilities that lay in wait just ahead of the curve.

Tight Mouth and Body on hot Blond Japanese Model Kiryu Sakura
Sakura Kiryu
Blond Japanese girl Sakura Kiryu has given lots of blowjobs. Starting back in high school until now. She knows her way around a cock. A Japanese cock anyway. She bragged to the Director she could handle any dick he presented. Then walked in our talent, an American dude with a huge wang. Sakura's eyes lit up and her jaw dropped. Perfect position.
After some nice stretching and preparing her body for the cock, Sakura was ready.
It took awhile to get all the dick into her mouth and down her throat. But this little sweety was determined to do her job and get that dick in.
