Edge of Empire
The study of the Iberian expansion of the 15th and 16th centuries has been the subject of perhaps thousands of books. However, their ships are almost completely unknown to us. There are no complete written descriptions of these vessels, the iconographical evidence is scarce and not always reliable, and most of the archaeological evidence has been systematically destroyed since the 1950s by the treasure hunting industry.
In cooperation with the Secção Autónoma de Engenharia Naval (SAEN) of Lisbon's Instituto Superior Técnico, a team from the Ship Reconstruction Laboratory (ShipLab), in the Nautical Archaeology Program (NAP) at Texas A&M University, is trying to build a comprehensive image of these ships, the way they evolved in time, and the environment in which they were designed and built. With a number of thesis and dissertations currently in progress we have build a strong research group and want to present this collective project in a panel or special session at the 2006 meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology (SHA).

Edge of Empire Online Book Version

This Symposium would have not been possible without the generous support of Dr. Peter Amaral and the Luso-American Foundation. We whish to thank the kind support of Dr. Peter Amaral, for his support of the Nautical Archaeology Program and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology, and Dr. Luís dos Santos Ferro, for his technical support and guidance in the process of obtaining the FLAD grant.
The organizer and the students of the Nautical Archaeology Program are especially grateful to Dr. Peter Amaral and the Luso-American Foundation, without whose support this symposium would have never been possible, given the high costs involved in its organization.

Fla. Task Force Examines 'Stand Your Ground' Law
By Greg Allen • May 2, 2012
The group was convened by Florida's governor and legislative leaders. The move comes after Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teen, was shot to death by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. Since the law's passage in 2005, there's been growing concern about the law among police, prosecutors and judges.

Cook Scores Seven as Stony Brook Rolls Fresno
from press release
STONY BROOK, N.Y. - Demmianne Cook matched her
season-high of seven goals and led nine different goal scorers to
power the No. 13/13 Stony Brook women's lacrosse team to a 20-2
victory over Fresno State Tuesday night at LaValle Stadium.
Alyssa Cardillo recorded five points on one goal and four assists, and Janine Hillier and Amber Kupres tallied four apiece, each on two goals and two helpers. Frankie Caridi stopped two of the three shots she faced for Stony Brook (9-2) as the top-ranked scoring defense in the most recent NCAA national statistical rankings allowed just two goals to match a single-game school record for fewest scores allowed
Katie Wilbur relieved Lisa Barnaba in net 14 minutes into the game and made five saves in 46 minutes of work as Fresno State dropped to 1-6 on the season.
Coach's Reaction
"We are proud of our team. This was a chance for us to get some different players involved and spread the playing time out. It was important for us to rest our starters in the second half with the meat of our conference schedule coming up. Everyone who played tonight did a great job and was part of the success of our team. We feel like we are getting closer to where we want to be."
--Head Coach Joe Spallina
Turning Point
Cook won the opening draw and blew past the Bulldogs' defense for a top-shelf goal just 20 seconds into the game. About five minutes later, Hillier brought the ball out 20 yards from the net, then sprinted five yards and ripped a long-range shot into the lower right corner of the goal to give the Seawolves a 2-0 lead at 24:28.
Cook controlled the ensuing draw and raced down the field for her second goal of the game. Stony Brook continued its surge on the next possession when Hillier dished it to freshman Shannon Coleman on the eight-meter arc, and the freshman found the back of the cage to give SBU a 4-0 cushion with 23:28 remaining in the opening stanza.
Paula Badall netted a goal for Fresno State at 21:45, but the Seawolves rattled off 15 unanswered scores to secure the victory.

Akbash Physical Characteristics
The Akbash is a large and powerful breed of Dog, that is perfectly built for a life of Sheep guarding in the mountains. It has a short to medium length coat, which is white in colour with occasional patches of light brown. The coat of the Akbash is coarse to prevent it from matting when exposed to the alpine elements, and the double-layer allows it to also be water-resistant, protecting the Akbash from getting too cold. The Akbash has a big head and powerful jaws, along with a very strong body, a short neck and large, curved toes. The tail of the Akbash is very distinctive to the breed as it is not only long and curved, but is also covered in longer, feathered fur. The Akbash has thickly padded feet and almond-shaped eyes that vary from gold to dark brown in colour.
Akbash Behaviour and Temperament
The Akbash was originally bred by shepherds to guard their flocks from large mountain predators, so they are naturally a dominant and aggressive breed. They are one of the most primitive guard Dogs among domestic breeds today and therefore require a firm and experienced owner. They are however, intelligent and courageous animals that risk their lives to protect the animals and people under their guard. The Akbash is a very loyal breed, completely devoted and dedicated to their owner and often regard strangers that are not in their owner's presence, as suspicious. The Akbash is very independent with strong and protective instincts, known to respond quickly and without help in the case of emergency, when it feels that it's flock is under threat.
Akbash Breeding
The Akbash breed first appeared roughly 3,000 years ago, when it was bred to be a strong and protective guard Dog that was white in colour. Although the breed itself has changed very little since the early days, individuals found in households today are less dominant and aggressive than these original guard dogs. They are however still bred to guard livestock, particularly on the ranches in southern America where they are used to protect animals from large carnivores like Coyotes and even Bears. Since their introduction the USA in the 1970s, the breed has become a popular guard Dog and although affected by hip problems like other larger breeds, they are not thought to be so badly affected. The Akbash tends to give birth to between 7 and 9 puppies per litter, which are fully mobile within their first 6 weeks,
Akbash Interesting Facts and Features
The Akbash is known to be a calm and clean breed of domestic Dog, and happily lives both inside and outside the house. Their fur also has little odour compared to that of other breeds. They are also known to have strong maternal instincts, and have been observed aiding Sheep in cleaning their newborn calves. In it's native country of Turkey, the Akbash was named after the Turkish word akbas, which means "white-headed". The Akbash breed first became popular as a household pet when 40 Dogs were imported into the USA from Turkey in the 1970s. These Akbash individuals are thought to be the ancestors of the entire population there today.

SPACs Live on Without the Acronym
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Remember SPACs? You can easily be forgiven for not doing so, since they never amounted to much.
Nonetheless, and despite lower upfront fees, banks are finding it worthwhile to underwrite these deals, which they predict will become more frequent.
Special purpose acquisition companies, which had their heyday from roughly 2005-2007, are shell companies sent out in search of acquisition targets. SPACs from that era weren't especially successful, which may explain why dealmakers involved in trying to revive the structure are shying away from dusting off the old acronym.
"We feel very much that we're in the early innings in the post-financial crisis era of acquisition vehicles," says Philip Drury, co-head of Equity Capital Markets for the Americas at Citigroup
Drury says an impressive roster of well-respected investors participated in the IPO of Capitol Acquisition Corp. II
Other post-crisis SPACs include JWC Acquisition Corp., which went public in late 2010 and bought Tile Shop Holdings Inc.
One of the attractions of SPACs for investors is their limited downside. Acquisitions vehicles that don't complete a deal within a specified time frame (usually two years) return the money they raised to investors. As a result, investors who bought into SPACs in 2007 avoided the worst of the financial crisis in 2008 and early 2009.
For investors who believe the market is likely to move lower or sideways over the next several months, the opportunity to effectively put one's money in escrow while waiting for a potential pop from a successful deal may prove attractive, say proponents of the structure.
"We're entering into a stock picking environment. That is where the acquisition vehicles come into their own," Citigroup's Drury says.
The structure has been tweaked a bit to function more smoothly. Pre-crisis SPACs often included two in-the-money warrants, which was dilutive and encouraged investors to take advantage of the arbitrage between the value of the warrants and the shares. Now they include fewer warrants or none at all. Other changes make it more difficult for investors to block potential deals. And SPAC sponsors tend to be people who have done them previously and successful made acquisitions using the structure, according to Mark Ein, an investor who worked at The Carlyle Group
"We consider this sort of the next generation vehicle," Ein says.

SUNrise SUNset...
By Jonathan Gershater on Sep 16, 2008
This is my final blog entry as my employment at Sun draws to a close.
I am reminded of one of my favourite songs growing up, from the musical "Fiddler on the Roof".
Some pertinent points from my employment at Sun
- Sun rose for me (half of seven) years ago
- I mostly worked in the seventh layer of the ISO Network Stack.
- I averaged seven layers of management between myself and the CEO.
- I worked with about seven different products.
- I stopped eating seven layer cake when I turned 40 during my tenure at Sun!
I will update my linkedin LinkedIn profile with my next employer, but I am willing to bet some of my Liberty colleagues at Sun will guess who that is from the above list.
I hope I was able to provide some useful information, and occasional humour, in this blog. The Sun Directory Server is a wonderful product built by a talented engineering team.
See you in the blogosphere....Jonathan

PHILADELPHIA — Less than 40 percent of children who are insured via Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance Programs are able to obtain care for a dental emergency, compared to 95 percent of those with private insurance, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania published online this week in the journal Pediatrics. Even among dental providers who were participants in the state Medicaid/CHIP program, nearly a third studied denied appointment access to children with that type of coverage — unless parents offered to pay in cash.
In the study, research assistants posing as mothers of a 10-year-old boy with a fractured permanent front tooth — an injury that impacts 1 in 7 children ages 8 and 13 and 25 percent of adolescents in the United States — made calls seeking an urgent appointment with a random sample of 85 Cook County, Ill., dental practices, 41 of which were signed up to participate in the Medicaid program. The researchers called each practice twice, approximately four weeks apart, varying only their purported insurance status but maintaining all other aspects of their scripted story. Overall, callers were told their insurance type was not accepted by the non-enrolled dental practices in 93 percent of calls from Medicaid/CHIP patients' mothers, compared to only 9 percent who said they had Blue Cross insurance.
"Although our study shows significant barriers to emergency dental care based on insurance status, more than two thirds of practices who participate in Medicaid/CHIP did offer appointments when plan participants sought them, and 75 percent of them offered a slot for those children within two days of the call," says senior author Karin V. Rhodes, MD, MS, director of Emergency Care Policy Research in the department of Emergency Medicine at Penn. "However, the law calls for these programs to provide equal access to care, and our results show that many children in need are still being turned away when they need help — unless their parents are able to pay out of pocket."
Thirty-four percent of callers were asked for their child's insurance type before being told whether or not they could schedule an appointment. When operators did not ask about insurance status before scheduling, the callers inquired about whether their coverage was accepted. After insurance status was revealed, access to care was often rescinded: 7 percent of appointments for publicly-insured children were canceled by practices enrolled in the program, and 41 percent by nonenrolled practices — when they found out the child was insured by Medicaid/CHIP, despite a provision in the state Medicaid program that reimburses providers for all emergency dental care. None of the scheduled appointments for Blue Cross patients were retracted based on insurance status.
Rhodes notes that her own daughter, at age 13, suffered the same dental injury as the one tested in this experimental study design. "The injury was not only a dental emergency, it required ongoing dental care for years to come," she says. "The question is, do we as a society want to provide quality dental care for all of our children or just the ones whose parents can afford to pay?"

The District Tournament was held in Sinton with 12 teams participating.
The Refugio squad won the first three games they played before losing to a tough Beeville squad.
With their backs against the wall and facing elimination, Refugio bounced back and eliminated Ingleside before having to face Beeville again. Refugio defeated Beeville twice to win the tournament.
At the Sectional Tournament held in Richmond, the Refugio All Stars had to defeat three teams to win the tournament.
The first game against Victoria East, Refugio won 13-8 to move into the next round.
Refugio's next opponent was El Campo. Good hitting and excellent defense prevailed and Refugio won 5-1.
The next game, with the championship on the line, was against the Shiner All Stars. Refugio scored in the bottom of the 7th inning to force extra innings. A base hit scored the winning run and sealed the win and the championship for Refugio.
The Refugio All-Stars made history as the only Junior League team from Refugio to ever make the State Tournament.
At the State Tournament in Tyler, Refugio's first game was against the Channelview All Stars. Refugio's bats were hot early as they broke out to a 15-2 lead when the game was halted by lightning.
When the game resumed, Refugio put away Channelview by a score of 19-10.
The second game was against West University of Houston. Good pitching and good hitting kept Refugio off balance and West University went on to win 5-1.

High-speed dual-channel memory kits were nothing special just about a year ago, but the triple-channel memory controller of Intel Core i7 "Bloomfield" processor redefined the market almost completely in less than a year and memory kits consisting of three modules became standard for high-performance computers. Nonetheless, the dual-channel kits will be back this September, when Intel introduces its new platform.
Kingston Memory, the world's largest producer of memory modules, was the first company to announce plans to introduce 2133MHz dual-channel DDR3 memory module kits designed for Intel Core i5/Core i7 processors based on the code-named Lynnfield core. The new top-of-the-range HyperX DDR3 dual-channel 2.13GHz kit will sport CL8 latency setting as well as 1.65V voltage setting. Other HyperX DDR3 dual-channel memory kits will operate at various frequencies starting from 1333MHz.
Kingston was the first among the large memory module manufacturers to receive official validation of its DDR3 memory modules for Intel Core i5/i7 "Lynnfield" processors in July, 2009.
While other memory module suppliers have not publicly indicated intentions to introduce new DDR3 dual-channel kits for Lynnfield family of chips, it is obvious that they will be able to offer appropriate products in quantities: none of the memory module makers have discontinued high-end offerings for Intel Core 2-based personal computers and the vast majority those dual-channel kits are more than likely to work perfectly with Lynnfield (except, perhaps, memory modules featuring enhanced performance profiles [EPP] aimed at core-logic sets by Nvidia).
Intel will release its code-named Lynnfield processors aimed at mainstream market on the 6th of September. Lynnfield quad-core processor for desktops will be made using 45nm process technology and will inherit micro-architectural and architectural features from currently available Intel Core i7/Nehalem microprocessors, but will have dual-channel memory controllers. The chips will be supported by Intel 5-series chipsets and will come in LGA 1156 form-factor.
The first Lynnfield chips to be unveiled will be models Core i7-870 (4 cores, 8 threads, 8MB cache, 2.93GHz clock-speed), Core i7-860 (4 cores, 8 threads, 8MB cache, 2.80GHz clock-speed) and Core i5-750 (4 cores, 4 threads, 8MB cache, 2.66GHz clock-speed) that will cost $562, $284 and $196, respectively.

London's multicultural spirit on display at the Summer Games includes food and drink. NBC's Adrienne Mong reports on London's coffee revolution.
LONDON — The British capital won the 2012 Summer Olympic bid with a pitch for its multicultural spirit. And in the past two weeks, that claim has been borne out by a batch of gold medalists hailing from diverse backgrounds — take for instance, heptathlete Jessica Ennis (British-Jamaican) or long-distance runner Mo Farah (British-Somali), who won the men's 10,000-meter race.
But London's multicultural spirit lives not just in the people but also the food and drink.
Take coffee, for instance.
In the past decade, this most devotedly tea-drinking city has seen an independent coffee culture gradually take root and flourish, led by the "flat white," a coffee import from Australia and New Zealand that was readily adopted by London's caffeine brigade.
The coffee drink that's a lifestyle
"It's an espresso with some milk in it," said Gwilym Davies, who opened Prufrock Coffee, an independent coffee house in Holborn almost two years ago.
It sounds simple, but it's not.
Adrienne Mong
The espresso machine at Prufrock Coffee gets a regular workout.
In fact, explaining what goes into a flat white can lead to a lot of discussion over proportions of coffee to milk — a debate that some of the independent café owners now find tedious.
"[D]escribe it as a latte with less milk or a cappuccino with less foam or however you will," said Anette Moldvaer of Square Mile Coffee Roasters. (Fans say the flat white tastes like a very strong latte, ie, more bean, less milk.)
"There's a lot of mystique around essentially what you could argue is just a balance of milk, foam, and espresso," said Ben Townsend, owner of The Espresso Room, a tiny gem of a café also tucked away in Holborn that opened in 2009. Ultimately, he added, the "flat white describes a style rather than a specific drink."
That style is very much a London hybrid.
London's multicultural coffee scene
Moldvaer, Townsend, and Davies comprise a group of aficionados who have built a London coffee culture that now rivals – some of the independent café owners say even surpasses – those of Italy, where the espresso was invented.
"[I]f you look at all the major continental brands, the Lavazzas, the Illys, they dominate the market, and…I've never seen transparent listings of where the coffee's from. It's just named as Illy or whatever," said Townsend.

The Espresso Room is tucked away on a Holborn side street.
Whereas in London, the independent cafes learned from the Scandinavian countries, adopting "their roasting styles and their ability to get good green beans from the farmers," said Davies. Depending on the season, the beans might come from far-flung countries in Latin America (for example, Guatemala) or Africa (at the moment, Ethiopia or Kenya). "It's a seasonal product, and therefore it will taste different from month to month, season to season," said Townsend.
Combined with what some describe as "Australian-style" service and speed, London's cafes have produced their own hybrid culture. "The London scene has been an incredible fusion of quality and speed, and I think you can easily say that London coffee is equal – at its best – to anywhere in the world," said Townsend.
Even so, "the independent coffee culture here is still young and in constant development, very much creating and educating its customer base as it goes along," said Moldvaer. She and her business partner James Hoffmann started Square Mile Coffee Roasters in 2007 "to help London serve and drink better coffee."
Along with other outlets such Workshop (formerly known as St. Ali—a Melbourne outpost), the Department of Coffee and Social Affairs, and Allpress Espresso, the independent coffee houses have also had an impact on the chains.
In 2009, Starbucks and Costa in the U.K. rolled out their own version of the flat white. The move within weeks made the flat white, as one observer put it, "as edgy as a soy latte." (For non-coffee drinkers, that's a diss.)
Adrienne Mong
London has seen a rapid growth in independent coffee houses during the past few years.
The trend hasn't quite caught on across the pond. Although it has popped up in hipster U.S. neighborhoods like New York's Tribeca and Williamsburg neighborhoods, the filter coffee still reigns strong, according to baristas at the popular Chicago-based independent chain, Intelligentsia Coffee.
In the meantime, purveyors like Prufrock are happy that customers have moved onto the coffee itself. "We're finding a growth…in black coffee," said Davies. "And we're exploring different farms, different varieties, different processing of the coffee bean and exploring the flavor essentially."
Coffee has come such a long way in London that inevitably one wonders, what will happen to tea?
"You can't replace our tea," protested Davies. "I love my tea. If there's a little disaster going on, I sit down and we have tea."

Feathered trends: Atlas maps changes in Vt. bird countsBryan Pfeiffer Photo
The hermit thrush, Vermonts state bird, remains at steady numbers, according to the second Vermont Breeding Bird Atlas set for release this week.
Ask Vermont biologist Rosalind Renfrew how changes in land use and climate may be altering the state and she can stack her desk with scientific studies or simply speculate on the arrival of the red-bellied woodpecker.
The southern species was once so rare in the Green Mountains it wasnt recorded by the Vermont Breeding Bird Atlas upon its initial release in 1985. A quarter-century later, the woodpecker is common enough that the second version edited by Renfrew reports sightings in seven of the states 14 counties.
Vermont boasts more than 200 nesting bird species. The inaugural atlas that chronicled them was the first such state or provincial publication in North America. But the new issue is considered even more newsworthy Gov. Peter Shumlin unveiled it this past week at a special press conference because it documents unprecedented shifts.
This atlas is a portrait of Vermont in flux great global trends illustrated at a scale of song and feather, Ripton author and activist Bill McKibben declares on the books back cover.
The state from which winter-weary residents traditionally flee now is attracting all sorts of southern flyers, the second edition shows. Conversely, warmer weather is threatening to scare away a few northern natives.
Think all this is for the birds? Vermont birdwatchers annually spend an estimated $50 million. Biologists, for their part, say the states ecology is woven together like one big nest. Birds dont simply sing and fly, they also pollinate plants, disperse seeds and eat insects such as gypsy moths, tent caterpillars and other plant-munching pests that threaten farms and forests.
We cannot know the nature of Vermont, the health of woodlands, wetlands and other wild places without knowing the status of our birds, Renfrew says.
Researchers at the private, nonprofit Vermont Center for Ecostudies in Norwich, having posted their findings on the Internet, are ready to release them in book form this week. Everything about the University Press of New England hardcover is big: Six pounds, 576 pages, 208 color photos, 215 graphs, 415 maps, 591 tables. Oh, and the price: $75 and well worth it, its creators say.
This book will renew your faith in print, says Bryan Pfeiffer, an ardent Vermont bird expert whod gush even if he werent a second-edition contributor and publicist. And this is a case where being second is better than being first we have a baseline that we can see is changing.
Launching the states most comprehensive bird count a generation ago, 200 volunteers surveyed the state from 1976 to 1981 to collect data for the 1985 atlas. For this years follow-up, some 350 returned to the field from 2003 to 2007 in search of similarities and differences.
The new atlas shows some birds are increasing with the help of conservation efforts (the bald eagle, common loon, osprey, peregrine falcon and wild turkey) and maturation of Vermont forests (the barred owl and Coopers hawk).
Southern species such as Carolina wrens may be flying north because its feeling more like home.
Climate change is one likely cause, Renfrew says, but its very hard to demonstrate.
Take the red-bellied woodpecker. Experts speculate its arrival could be sparked by warmer weather. Or more people feeding them. Or more tree cavities for nesting.
We need to be cautious on attributing changes, Pfeiffer says. The atlas only shows trends. Most of the time it doesnt ascribe cause; sometimes it suggests cause.
That said, the state has seen a severe decline in most grassland species the Eastern meadowlark, for one with the loss of thousands of acres of undisturbed meadowland to haying, forests and development.
Thats an example how birds are responding to land-use change, Renfrew says.
Of 19 species that feed on flying insects aerial insectivores such as common nighthawks, flycatchers, nightjars, swifts, swallows and whip-poor-wills 13 dropped in number. Biologists speculate this may be caused by decreases in prey and in nesting and wintering habitats and increases in mercury and other atmospheric toxins.
Rising temperatures are threatening to reduce the breeding range of several species that prefer cooler climates. Consider the Bicknells thrush, a relatively rare songbird that inhabits the spruce and balsam firs that may slowly yield to more southern trees atop such ski summits as Mansfield, Killington and Stratton.
The Bicknells thrush is one of 57 birds on the state Fish and Wildlife Departments Species of Greatest Conservation Need list, while the national nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity just sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to place the bird under the protection of the federal Endangered Species Act.
The news is better for the hermit thrush, Vermonts state bird: For a grouping of birds we call interior forest species, by and large theyre doing well and didnt change, Renfrew says.
David Sibley, author and illustrator of the Sibley Guide to Birds, calls the atlas beautiful, while poet David Budbill deems it a treasure. But the photo-rich volume isnt simply a coffee table book. Its also full of facts that scientists, students and state planners can tap to maintain and enhance Vermonts bird population. (The Vermont National Guard already has used it to develop land management guidelines.)
The Breeding Bird Atlas is based firmly on science, Shumlin said at his press conference, but its a book for everyone.
Thats why its creators are donating copies to 150 libraries statewide, as well as posting their findings at www.vtecostudies.org/vbba.
Birds are indicators of whats going on in our environment, Renfrew says. You have to have a sense of where things stand to know where you want to go. The first atlas set the baseline; the second gives you the bigger picture and a better understanding.

The Ski Channel is hosting their first-ever film fest, January 27th- 29th at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver in conjunction with the SIA Snowshow. In attendance will be mountain sport celebrities, athletes, industry executives, filmmakers, and luminaries. The festival is comprised of works by the cutting edge of mountain sport filmmakers, adding new masterpieces to mountain cinema.
Marker and Kastle issued voluntary recalls for a handful of bindings due to a defect that could cause the skier to fall - though no injuries have been reported.
"Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed," according to a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission press release.
The recall, which affects about 5,400 units, includes 2010-11 Marker and Kastle Twin Cam bindings with a max DIN setting of 12. Steel springs in the heel pieces could break and cause injuries.
Ever pictured a ski resort from the inside of a snowglobe? The artful skiers at Switchback Entertainment have. This style of cinematography - which makes people, places and things appear like tiny miniature models - was inspired by stop motion & tilt shift photography techniques.
Holiday shopping can be toughest when hunting for brothers and dads. Cozy sweaters for mom, new boots for sisters, but the men in my life always seem to get books and music. The Patagonia Snowshot jacket erases those shopping-list blues. It's notable first for it's bright colors (blue, red), but really earns it's stripes when it comes to technology.
Wagner Custom designs and optimizes every set of skis according to length, sidecut radius, tail-waist-shovel width, camber, tip-tail shapes, flare angles and flex profile—all to suit the skier's unique goals, weight, body type, skiing background, strength, agility, riding style and preferred range of terrain and snow conditions.

The US Ski Team has just wrapped up races in Lake Louise and Aspen. This weekend, the men head to Beaver Creek for the Birds of Prey World Cup, and the Women head to Lake Louise. With weather reports pointing to snow throughout the week, organizers have bumped the first downhill training run to Tuesday, Nov. 30 in order to maximize training opportunities. Here's a video from last year's Birds of Prey event.
Editors note: Avalanche beacons are one of the most important factors when it comes to surviving an avalanche. Combined with a shovel, probe, skills to use this device, and knowledge of backcountry terrian, a beacon is crucial. Take an avalanche course before heading into dangerous terrain.

To the Spurs: It's great that you can beat non-playoff teams and look fairly confident in doing so, and that should be enough to get you into the playoffs. However, you won't face any non-playoff teams IN the playoffs, so I suggest you start scouting LA, Dallas, Denver, Portland, Utah, Houston, and Phoenix just a little bit harder. You could be wasting the last year of Tim Duncan's prime right now, don't fuck it up.
Mortals are mortar and life is the fuse.
hmmm, ok time for some venting i guess
To all the guidos: you're setting Italian Americans back 100 years you makeup wearing douchebags. stop walking around the city without shirts on to show off your roid abs. stop coming to class in wifebeaters, especially when its snowing outside. stop with the forced brooklyn accent, a jersey accent doesnt sound like people from long island do. and to the dudes infront of the frat houses on halloween in the chippendale costumes... you looked totally gay and none of the chicks were checking you out.
To the New Brunswick leader guys: what do you mean you dont clear snow off the streets? and on top of that you have the nerve to fine us $400 if we dont clear the sidewalks? are you kidding me? We already replaced the governor with a republican because of shit like that, dont think we wont vote your asses out too.
To the Rutgers University science department: I realize you guys get alot of cred and recognition, but the phrase "just fail with dignity" should never leave a professors mouth you arrogant twats. Take your fucking arrogance and your Ph.D's and shove them up your ass, everyone knows the GOOD scientists work at corporations and the shitty ones become professors.
To the Rutgers University food cafeteria people: if I want to get two helpings of takeout food and give one to food for homeless people thats my fucking business. im overpaying for this shit anyway and everyone knows the meal swipes are a scam.
To all the girls who didnt spontaneously swarm me like a rock star and beg me to go out with them: your loss baby
and finally:
To the asshole who lives in the other room on the first floor of my house: everyone fucking hates you and youre the most socially awkward, creepiest motherfucker ive ever met. we all know youve been living there for over 8 years, just move the fuck out already. seriously, you graduated over 4 years ago and youre still living there working night shifts at a pizza place? you should know that when people say hi to you its polite to say hi back to them, dick. and how do you manage to use an entire roll of toilet paper every two days? and how you bitched to the landlord that someone else was doing laundry? yea other people live here now you twat, and i beg the landlord every week to throw your ass out, your name isnt even on the lease so you dont have any rights here. oh, and how you keep turning the thermostat up to like 80 degrees because youre too cheap to buy a space heater like everyone else did? we all dont want to pay an extra $100 each per month in utilities, next time you do that im cutting the wire to the thermostat, noone cares if you think youre getting sick, infact we all would like you to just fucking die.
ok, got a little too peeved thinking about that last part
12-13: The Devin Townsend Project
Okay, I guess I'll air my grievances.
-Ohio State douchebags - If you're on campus and carrying books, we can assume that you go to Ohio State. You don't have to wear jerseys, t-shirts, hats, jackets, scarves, shoes, pants, shorts, and necklaces that bear the OSU logo every single day. Diversify your wardrobe, would ya? You aren't 'repping' for the school, while you're at school!
-Other Ohio State douchebags - Stop shooting your mouth off about how Michigan is a worse school than Ohio State (beyond football, because then we're better) when they outperform us in research, endowment, and nearly every other field imaginable.
-Chicks - I wish I was better at talking to girls...I can't read signals and I'm no good at socializing, so.....lets fix that. I won't rape you, and that fact should set me apart from most of the other guys at broSU
-Unnamed friend - Quit trying to get me to smoke weed. Thank you.
-Roommate - Download some more music. The same 10 songs have been playing for 3 months, and I'm loading the shotgun......Also, please bring two hot girls back to the room late at night, so I can bone one of them.
-Democrats - Quit being such fucking pussies! You're in power, now do something! I didn't vote Green Party just for you to sit on your hands and let the Republicans bully you.
-Glenn Beck - Die in a fire.
-Mead - Please come out right! First batch got ruined, and I am getting tired of buying honey and yeast!
Van Halen: You guys were idiots for choosing to a) have Tattoo be your first single, and b) releasing your album the week after grammys, when everyone was gonna buy the AOTY winner, especially if it was a pop album. For shame, considering it was your best album in many decades.
Nintendo: The Wii U is a stupid title, and fuck you guys for not advertising Xenoblade Chronicles on american television. You guys had your next great IP, and you let it slip through your fingers.
Blackie Lawless: Hang it up. It's over.
Paul Stanley: You can't sing anymore, time to retire.
Me: You were kind of a douchebag in this thread.
The asshole who lives one floor above me: EVERYONE CAN HEAR YOU CRYING AND ARGUING ON THE PHONE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND!
Eddie Trunk: That Metal Show is going to continue sucking until you fire Don and Jim. And get rid of the Stump The Trunk segment, you look like such a whiny bitch during that.
George W. Bush is the son of a swine. I hope that one day his body is identified by the teeth marks on my penis.
Last edited by JRA; 11-28-2012 at 08:24 PM.
Don and Jim are the only good people on that fire. Fire the Trunk!
And Paul Stanley can still sing!
This thread seems fun.
Deathcore threads: It feels like every other week I go one here and see that the top thread in the Misinfo and Propaganda is titled "OMG BEST TOUR EVA!!!" for a tour consisting of a few shitty deathcore bands that nobody has liked since the myspace era. It's not funny anymore, nobody actually cares except for dcmetal, just stop.
Mayhem Fest threads: Seriously, why is this a source of discussion year round? It's really not worth discussing because the lineup is shit every single year. I don't need Wolverine's super secret insider scoop to know the lineup is gonna be nothing but middle-school metal with maybe one or two good bands. Why can't we just wait til the lineup is actually announced to talk about the tour? Better tours than mayhem fest get announced every week.
Bands in general: I'm a little disappointed that we didn't have any massive disappointments from established metal artist this year. Last year we heard the already legendary blunders Lulu and Illud Divinum Insanus. I'm still laughing at those albums one year later. Sure some releases this year may have not lived up to our expectations but I was hoping we would get at least one really, really horrible album.
Come on! Actually there aren't really anymore deathcore bands around that are big. You should of just changed it to core bands but I'm still not the only one who cares about that.
Sooo much negativity!

WHEN he heard his 28-year-old daughter Nicole had been run over and killed by two semi-trailers on Harwood Bridge, Peter Johnson prayed to God to make his next breath his last.
That was June 28, 2007 and it marked just the beginning of a tumultuous four years for Mr Johnson and his Iluka-based family.
His daughter Sara, who was in Year 11 at the time, was expelled from her school some time later; the details cannot be published because of legal restrictions.
A little over three and a half years later, Mr Johnson led the search party that discovered the body of his 40-year-old son Jason hanging from a tree in bushland east of New Italy.
Though Nicole's death was never proven as suicide, Mr Johnson said the family, especially Jason, were plagued by the stigma that she had taken her own life.
Aside from the truck drivers, there were no witnesses to the incident, Mr Johnson said, and very little information was uncovered in the investigation.
Mr Johnson said Nicole was lying in the middle of the southbound lane when she was hit by a semi-trailer, closely followed by another, about 7pm.
Even though Nicole had drug and alcohol problems and had recently had her twin baby boys removed by the Department of Community Services, Mr Johnson said the family could not accept that she had opted to take her own life, even though he said it was a possibility.
"Sometimes Nicole would just go off and we wouldn't hear from her for a day or two - the last time we saw her was when we dropped her off on the highway almost at Yamba Rd about 5.30 that night," he said.
"A couple of witnesses said they saw her trying to hitch- hike.
"Her death impacted everybody severely."
Life went on for Mr Johnson, his wife Brenda and their six surviving children, albeit with some significant challenges, but Jason was never quite the same.
Before his death early last year, Jason was very depressed.
"He took his Bible everywhere and when his girlfriend said he hadn't taken it and wasn't drawing money, we knew something was wrong."
In February 2011, a shooter found Jason's abandoned car on a bush track east of New Italy.
On February 10, Mr Johnson led the search party that found his son's body - his remains indicating he may have been hanging for up to 20 days.
"I don't think he wanted to be found ... I don't swear very often but I swore my guts out and my biggest worry was 'how am I going to tell my wife'," he said.
The psychological toll of these traumas has left deep scars for Mr Johnson but he said his faith, the support of his children and friends, along with insights from the Black Dog Institute had helped him through.
"There are many times I've felt like giving up... when you are severely depressed you lose all perspective.
"I like Black Dog because it's not so much to do with medication but exercise, diet and counselling.
"On the website you can diagnose how you're travelling with a checklist and a tally."
A recent spate of public bullying had prompted him to speak out and remind people their words could be far more damaging than they ever realised.

Martin A. Nash who performs as "The Charming Cheat" has long presented outstanding gambling themed shows that are both elegant and entertaining. This video was shot live at one of his lectures where he performed his entire show and then explained the routines. You will learn an entire card act that is designed to make you look like a card expert and make people say, "I would hate to play cards with you."
One of the strength of this DVD is the great patter and presentations Martin uses during his gambling routines. You will hear some excellent stories, jokes and gambling advice given throughout. Martin also gives advice on performing in addition to many technical subtleties and handling touches.
Routines performed and explained:
Poker Smoker: You continuously shuffle the deck and let the spectator cut while you continually deal the aces to yourself.
Nash Multiple Shift Routine:
The four aces are lost in different parts of the deck. After one shuffle all the aces come to the top. They are once again shuffled into the deck and are now found at the bottom.
Pseudo Marked Deck Sequence:
The four aces are lost in the deck face-up. You then deal a round of poker dealing all the face-up aces to yourself using the Nash Multi-Center.
Ten To One:
The Ace through ten of Diamonds are lost in different parts of the deck and the deck is shuffled. A spectator selects a card and it too is lost in the deck. A second spectator names a number between 1-10. After a shuffle the top ten cards are dealt face up with the named number remaining face down. The selected card is the face down card and the missing card is found face up in the deck. Daryl/Nash Trapped: A card is selected and lost in the deck. The spectator takes half the deck and springs the cards unto the table. You then use your half of the deck as tweezers and use it to pluck the selected card from springing cards.
Jacks Or Better:
This is Martin's favorite routine and the one he uses when he has to impress. The 13-minute card routine, which is usually used to close his shows, is a multiphase routine where selected cards are continuously lost in the deck and are repeatedly found between the two face-up Jacks. Each phase becomes more impossible as the conditions become more difficult until the finale when a merely thought-of card appears between the two face-up Jacks.
Also includes Nash Multiple Shift variations, Nash Center Deal Demo, Any Way That You Want It, Shuffling Tips, Delayed-Action Center Deal, and much more.
Running time: Approximately 75 minutes.

Webinar: Problem Loan Workout (WAV)
Recorded: January 8, 2014
Length: 60 Minutes
Attend this webinar to learn how to better manage "problem loans" and protect the rights of your bank in today's challenging economy!
The webinar will begin with a brief review of the borrower's business structure, the six (6) elements of proper loan structure, and the four (4) aspects of adequate loan support.
The session will then focus on what happens when a "good" loan turns "bad" i.e. the market has turned down, tenants have left, and the payments are now delinquent. In other words, what should the bank do and not do at this point in time?
This question will be addressed through a review of the "practical steps" that the bank should take in order to protect itself including negotiating payments, restructuring the loan, repossessing or foreclosing on the collateral, filing a law suit, forcing the borrower into bankruptcy and/or simply "walking away." This section will also examine the "outside" influence from the banking regulators.
The concepts in the webinar will be summarized through several "what-if" scenarios.
Major Topics
Commercial lenders, credit analysts, loan documentation specialists, branch managers, assistant branch managers, private bankers, and business development officers

Our friends in the Acrobat crew announced this week on their IT Maters blog that the forthcoming Acrobat X and Reader X updates will be available in the Microsoft System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP) catalog. Here's the post:
SCCM and SCUP Catalog Deployments for Acrobat and Reader X « IT Matters
Now, here is the question for Windows IT admins: How helpful would it be to have the Adobe Creative Suite updates available in the SCUP catalog? How much estimated time/money would this save your IT organization? Please use the comments section to let us know if this should be a focus for us. I am also curious to hear how your are currently managing Adobe Creative Suite updates for your Windows users and what are the challenges you are currently facing with that current process. I may be reaching out to you offline for followups or might arrange a little Windows IT admin virtual meet-up to discuss how we can improve things on the Creative Suite application update front.
Thanks in advance for your input!

Chakras and Your Physical and Emotional Health with Alexandria Brighton
About the Teleseminar
Chakras are often misunderstood and seen as Eastern esoteric philosophy considered by many to be irrelevant to our Western world of healthcare. Nothing could be further from the truth. The chakras as well as the meridian system represent another circulatory system just as important to the welfare of the body as the heart and blood vessels or the lymphatic system.
Each chakra provides chi or life force and nourishes and influences the organs, muscles, ligaments, veins, and other systems within its area of activity. Because the Chakra system uses bioelectrical Information and vibrational frequency, essential oils of exceptional purity are the perfect remedy and nourishment for this system. When the chakras are not functioning at their optimum we will not experience our full potential for health and wellbeing. Each chakra will be discussed as well as the essential oils that support, nourish and remedy each chakra. You will come away with a better understanding of the importance chakras play in your overall health and quality of life.
Learn more about AIA Teleseminars.

"He'll definitely get a look," Skiles said. "He's not going to start or anything, but he'll definitely get a look."
Henson's only action Saturday came in the second quarter and his only stat was one foul.
"It sucks, man. It sucks," Henson said. "It happens; life of a rookie. I'll be all right.
"What can you say?"
"Skiles would not confirm the reason for Dalembert's benching, but Dalembert said the issue was a "misunderstanding." Dalembert said he was in the locker room more than an hour before the game but stepped outside the locker room and was talking on the phone.
"Coach said there were certain times to be there, and I was in the building," Dalembert said. "I thought it was a little harsh. My team could have used me out there.
"That was the punishment. Nobody told me nothing before the game. So I found out the next day. If there's a miscommunication and a misunderstanding ... everybody misunderstands stuff but we communicate."
Still targeting X-mas eve for Skiles' dismissal.

Here is what I need to know: I am ready to stop breastfeeding her but she is probably nowhere near eating only solid foods. At this point, should I introduce formula for a few more months and supplement with food or what? I am really ready to stop breastfeeding and I need to know the best thing to do at this point to make it happen soon. Please let me know what I need to do. Thank you!

FAIRFAX, Va. - The architecture firm of Dewberry recently announced an agreement of merger terms with Phillips Swager Associates (PSA), one of the top justice architecture firms in the United States.
A letter of intent was recently signed by executives at both firms. "If all goes smoothly, we hope to have this transaction and integration complete by Jan. 1, 2005," says John P. Fowler II, Dewberry's CEO.
Dewberry is based in Fairfax, Va., and PSA has headquarters in Peoria, Ill., where the merged PSA/Dewberry will be based. PSA also currently has offices in Chicago, Naperville, Ill., Dallas, and McLean, Va.
PSA is ranked at #15 on the ENR list of top designers of correctional facilities. The firm's justice architecture projects include the U.S. Courthouse in Rockford, Ill.; the Stateville Reception and Classification Center in Illinois; and the New Castle Correctional Facility in Indiana.

Alice Eve Smolders & Zoe Saldana Sizzles At London 'Star Trek' Premiere
The ladies were the main attraction at Thursday night's "Star Trek Into Darkness" premiere in London. Chris Pine, Alice Eve, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana promoted their new film at the Empire Leicester Square in front of hundreds of onlookers.
Eve stunned in a beige, straples Ermanno Scervino bandeau dress, while Saldana nearly tripped in her black and white flowing Vionnet gown.
In a blink-and-you-missed-it moment, Eve is featured in just a green bra and panties in the international trailer. The moment was the talk of the internet back in March when it was released.
"Star Trek Into Darkness" hits theaters May 17. Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction. Saldana plays Lt. Nyota Uhura and Eve plays Dr. Carol Marcus.
