Mokau's double national champion Adrian Smith has wasted no time putting to the test the lessons he learned while racing overseas this season.
Just back in the country after a stint of cross-country racing in the United States, the 26-year-old Yamaha ace was soon impressing with his new-found speed, winning the opening round of the Bel Ray Cross-country Championships near Huntly, finishing comfortably ahead of Te Awamutu's Mark Penny (Suzuki RMX450), Auckland riders Shaun Fogarty (Kawasaki KX250F) and Callan May (Yamaha YZ250F) and Rotorua's Scott Birch (Honda CRF250).
Smith had won both the New Zealand cross-country championships and the New Zealand Enduro championships this year, before jetting off to "dip toes in the water" at several rounds of the Grand National Cross-Country Championships in the US and he has returned with a few extra weapons in his arsenal.
"I learned a lot about fitness and training. I was spending a lot of time with Pahiatua's Paul Whibley (the Yamaha star who has just won the GNCC title in the US for a second time), and that was a good experience."
However, even though the international adventure further sharpened his riding skills, Smith's first race back on home soil last week was still a stern test.
"The course at Huntly was a lot different to what I'd been riding in the US. I was actually quite worried about the high speeds. In the US it's a lot more technical and tight and not wide-open farmland like New Zealand.
"So I just tried to control the race from the front. When I got into the lead I slowed it down a little, trying to keep riders behind me.
"But then Mark Penny got past me and I had to go hard out again," said the BikesportNZ.com-sponsored rider, now racing a Yamaha YZ250 two-stroke instead of the YZF250 four-stroke he used to win his two national crowns.
"I snatched the lead back and then stretched out my advantage as much as I could without being silly. In the end, I finished about two minutes ahead of Mark."
Penny was also satisfied with his result, his first ride for the new Wilksbrooke Motors-supported Bel-Ray Suzuki Off-road team.
"The drizzle was persistent and, combining that with the dust being kicked up off the dry trails, it was a nightmare on goggles," said Penny.
"On the third lap I decided I had to pass Adrian and get out of the dust, so I picked up the pace and past him on a tricky uphill. I was feeling pretty comfortable with the speed and everything was going well but I had used up all my goggle roll-offs following in the dust, so vision was becoming a problem.
"Adrian pulled back up to me after a lap and passed me back, flicking up a rock as he went past that smashed into my goggles and finished them off.
"After that it was a matter of trying to go as fast as possible while not being able to fully see the track. Adrian slowly pulled a gap on me and at the end of the two-hour race I had to settle for second place."
The next race in the three-round series is in Huntly on January 13.

Are there any for Pennsylvania or this region?
No suggestions anyone?
I can highly recommend Dianne Sammataro and Ann Harman's new pocket guide: Major Flowers Important to Honey Bees in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States.
I bought it at EAS from the Bee Culture table, most suppliers should have it as well. It's a spiral wound flip page booklet, 40 pages with a photo and a brief summary description of each flower. $17
Thanks for that.
I searched the bee culture site, brushy Mtn, Kelley's, Barnes and noble and amazon along with the google.
Didnt find it.
I'd call Bee Culture when you get a chance. They had a bunch of them at EAS for sale. They may not have them out for distribution yet.
I picked up another book at EAS: Honey Plants of North America - a reprint by John Lovell. It was recommended by an instructor in a Bee class I'm taking. Black and white photos, but a lot more detail, 400 pgs @ $20. But, of course I don't see this book in the catalogs either...
Okie dokie, will call

Weapons don't kill; people kill
As a lifelong hunter, sportsman and gun owner it is frustrating to hear politicians and others call for gun control, being quick to blame the gun and not look for the root problem of violence.
The political solution is to look like you are doing something — a quick solution. Hence the problem: There is no quick/easy solution.
When America had an assault weapons ban that didn't mean there were no mass shootings. Crime stats compiled by a Northeastern University professor, the Census Bureau and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published earlier this year showed that while the ban was in place, from 1994 to 2004, the number of mass shootings actually rose slightly during that period. Columbine occurred right in the middle of the ban.
From 1985-94, there were 173 mass shootings and 766 victims. From 1995-2004 (starting with 1995 because it was the first full year the law was in effect), there were 182 mass shootings and 830 victims.
Weapons don't kill people; people kill people. They do so with knives, guns, explosives. Banning assault weapons won't eliminate these mass shootings as statistics prove the opposite.
Banning guns from law-abiding citizens will do one thing though — make it more likely that only those who are going to commit crime have a weapon and you don't.
Kids don't respect or fear authority parents or God; a politically correct society has no winners or losers, so when they do lose for the first time they don't know how to deal with it; and a society that believes they are owed everything and don't have to work for it is a good place to start.
Politicians blaming guns is like politicians blaming McDonald's for me gaining weight — both neglect the human behavior that is the root cause of the problem.

Lazy days at Adelaide's beaches with the promise of fish and chips at twilight is what television's Anne Fulwood looks forward to when catching up with family.
ADELAIDE'S beaches face west and as the sun sets a beautiful, soothing calm comes over the water. It's not like the crashing waves we get at east coast beaches; these are gentle, rolling waves that make for a very different beach experience — one that I yearn for more often as I get older.
I grew up in country South Australia where searing summers were spent making sure the crops were harvested and watered, and I loved escaping to my grandparent's place by the beach at Adelaide's Brighton.
I remember my mother and father saying I loved the beach from the age of 12 months and would scream when they tried to remove me from my water playground. My grandfather enjoyed walking along the beach and my brother and I would go with him; we'd while away an afternoon and wander home at sundown. It was a celebration of the senses, and to this day
I can still recall the feeling of that soothing water on my hot skin and the smell of salt air. I remember how overwhelmingly big the sea seemed and still see the buckets, spades and sandcastles.
There was the occasional late-afternoon meal of fish and chips after a bit of lolling about in the water.
Years later, when I was at university, that became a meal of chicken and chips and maybe the
odd glass of champagne on the beach.
At Christmas my family have since stayed in an apartment at neighbouring Glenelg Beach. When the unrelenting heat of the sun fades, we emerge on to the beach for fish and chips, sitting under the magnificent old jetty while we eat. Twilight on those beautiful long summer evenings is really something special.

Finally got back to it this past winter--bought and set up a starter kit, ordered a nuc for March delivery, and began reading, reading, reading. Nuc came in a week ago, and I installed it without a problem. So far the girls seem really happy, and are returning to the hive with lots of pollen! They are totally fascinating!

11 tips for travelling in Greece
Although the news has been full of negative stories about the financial and immigrant crises which have engulfed Greece in recent years, there are still many r…02 May 2017 • Nick Edwards insert_drive_file Article
The main trailhead for the ascent of Mount Olympus starts from Priónia – just under 18km up the mountain on the sealed road from Litóhoro (€20 taxi ride). There is an information booth at km3, where (in high season, anyway) your nationality is recorded and you're given some literature advising you of the park rules, but so far there's no admission charge. At the Priónia car park there's a spring, toilets and a primitive taverna (May–Oct).
If you're up for a real challenge and an early start, it's possible to walk from Litóhoro to Priónia via the monastery of Ayíou Dhionysíou. It's a delightful route (allow 4hrs) along the E4 overland trail, but you'll need basic hiking skills, as there are some scrambles over steep terrain, and a few water crossings. From Ayíou Dhionysíou it's just under an hour more upstream along the riverside E4 to Priónia.
From the Priónia car park the E4 trail carries on just uphill by a signpost giving the time to Refuge A as 2hrs 30min, though it actually takes more like three, even at a brisk pace. You cross a stream (last water before Refuge A; purification advisable) and start to climb steeply up through woods of beech and black pine. This path, the continuation of the E4, is well trodden and marked, so there is no danger of getting lost. As you gain height there are majestic views across the Enipéas (Mavrólongos) canyon to your left and to the peaks towering above you. Refuge A perches on the edge of an abrupt spur, surrounded by huge storm-beaten trees.
The E4 path continues behind the refuge (your last water source on the ascent), climbing to the left up a steep spur among the last of the trees. Having ignored an initial right fork towards the usually unstaffed Khristos Kakalos hut (Refuge C), within about an hour you reach a signposted fork above the tree line. Continuing straight on takes you across the range to Kokkinopylós village with the E4 waymarks, or with a slight deviation right to Mýtikas, via the ridge known as Kakí Skála (1hr 30min–2hr). An immediate right turn leads to the Yiosos Apostolidhis hut in one hour along the so-called Zonária trail, with the option after 45min of taking the very steep Loúki couloir left up to Mýtikas; if you do this, be wary of rock falls.
For the safer Kakí Skála route, continue up the right flank of the stony, featureless valley in front of you, with the Áyios Andónios peak up to your left. An hour's dull climb brings you to the summit ridge between the peaks of Skolió on the left and Skála on the right. You know you're there when one more step would tip you over a 500m sheer drop into the Kazánia chasm; take great care. The Kakí Skála ("Evil Stairway") begins in a narrow cleft on the right just short of the ridge; paint splashes mark the way. The route keeps just below the ridge, so you are protected from the drop into Kazánia. Even so, it's a tough scramble and not for those who don't like heights.
You start with a slightly descending rightward traverse to a narrow nick in the ridge revealing the drop to Kazánia – easily negotiated. Continue traversing right, skirting the base of the Skála peak, then climb leftwards up a steepish gully made a little awkward by loose rock on sloping footholds. Bear right at the top over steep but reassuringly solid rock, and across a narrow neck. Step left around an awkward corner and there in front of you, scarcely 100m away, is Mýtikas summit, an airy, boulder-strewn platform with a trigonometric point, tin Greek flag and visitors' book. In reasonable conditions it's about 40min to the summit from the start of Kakí Skála; three hours from the refuge; five and a half hours from Priónia. Descending from Mýtikas, most climbers go back the way they came, with the option of turning left at the signpost for the Yiosos Apostolidhis hut (2hr 30min from Mýtikas by this route).

BWW TV: Sneak Peek - NBC's BLAKE SHELTON'S NOT SO FAMILY CHRISTMAS
Blake Shelton (NBC's "The Voice") will host his first Christmas special, Blake Shelton'S NOT SO FAMILY CHRISTMAS, a star-studded event airing tonight, Monday, December 3 (10-11 p.m. ET). The CMA Awards Entertainer of the Year and reigning ACM and CMA Male Vocalist of the year is joined by Grammy Award-winning guest stars Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert and Reba on songs including "Let It Snow," "There's a New Kid in Town," "Oklahoma Christmas" and "Home." Below, check out a duet between Blake and Reba which will air on tonight's show.
The special will also feature a very special duet with Shelton's mother, Dorothy Shackleford, with whom he co-wrote the song "Time for Me to Come Home," as well as a number of comedy bits featuring special guests Christina Aguilera (NBC's "The Voice"), Larry the Cable Guy and Jay Leno (host of NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno")."
I love Christmas music," said Shelton. "I listen to it year-round. I had always wanted to do a Christmas album so getting to do 'Cheers, It's Christmas' was exciting for me, and then to have NBC let me do a special around the CD, well, I still can't believe it. I am so proud of the performances on the show, the skits are hilarious and the icing on the cake was having the opportunity to perform with my mom, a song we co-wrote together. Christmas has always been about family to me so having my mom and Miranda there -- that made it Christmas."
??Shelton is one of the "most versatile of contemporary country singers" according to The New York Times. CMA Entertainer of the Year, reigning ACM and CMA Male Vocalist of the Year, and with seven consecutive #1 singles -- four of which are off his 2012 Grammy-nominated album, "Red River Blue" – Shelton is the voice of country music. "Red River Blue" debuted at #1 on Soundscan's Top Current Albums chart and Soundscan Top Country Albums chart, with the Associated Press calling the album "the best album of his career."
Shelton's infectious multi-week #1 hit "Honey Bee" holds the record for the fastest-selling digital platinum single for a male country solo artist. The single held the #1 spot on the Billboard Country chart for four weeks in a row with over 40 million in audience. No country artist has held this record in almost seven years. Shelton now has eleven #1 hits and has not had a single peak outside the Top Ten since 2007. What country fans have long known, the rest of the world learned with "The Voice," the NBC blockbuster from which Blake has emerged as "the breakout star," according to The New York Times."
Blake Shelton's Not So Family Christmas" is produced by Irwin Entertainment. John Irwin and Narvel Blackstock are executive producers.
Christina Aguilera:?Singer, songwriter, performer, producer, director and actress Aguilera is one of the most accomplished performers of the last decade, having sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, achieved four #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won five Grammy awards. She has also received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has the prestigious honor of being the only artist under the age of 30 included in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest singers of all time. In 2011, she entered the world of TV as a coach on NBC's Emmy Award-nominated show "The Voice." Aguilera continues to use her voice for good. She has served as global spokesperson for Yum! Brands' World Hunger Relief effort since 2009 where her participation has helped raised $115 million for WFP and others, providing 460 million meals and saving millions of lives. Aguilera's latest album "Lotus" will be released on November 13, 2012.
Since bursting onto the music scene 10 years ago, Clarkson has released five studio albums ("Thankful," "Breakaway," "My December," "All I Ever Wanted," "Stronger"), sold over 20 million albums worldwide, 10 million albums in the U.S. and has had 10 singles in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. She is the recipient of two Grammy Awards, four American Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, one Country Music Association Award and 12 Billboard Music Awards. Clarkson's most recent effort, "Stronger," debuted at #2 on both the Billboard Top 200 and Digital Albums Chart. The album is certified Platinum by the R.I.A.A. and produced the smash singles, "Mr. Know It All" and "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" which marks Clarkson's ninth and 10th Top 10 hit. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" was #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart for two consecutive weeks (three weeks total) marking her third #1 on the Hot 100 chart after 2002's "A Moment Like This" and 2009's "My Life Would Suck Without You." Clarkson was recently a mentor on ABC's "Duets" as well as a guest mentor for Team Blake on NBC's "The Voice." Clarkson was recently nominated for a 2012 CMA Award for Female Vocalist of the Year. She is set to release Greatest Hits – Chapter 1 on November 19, which will feature three new tracks as well as a compilation of some of her greatest hits to date.


text: Greetings. New member here hoping you all can help (searched but to no avail). I have a 1999 GMC Suburban 5.7, auto 4wd with the 246NP8 transfer case. I have replaced the transfer case with a reman. Then I replaced the transfer case module (was not working). after replacing both items the 4wd does not engage the front wheels (drive shaft spins but wheels do not when lifted off the ground). I pulled the actuator from the differential and engaged 4wh. The actuator pushes out (indicating to me that it is working). I would hate to have to drop the front differential but I fear that is my next step. Does anyone see where I might be missing a step? I have a suspicion that maybe the actuator is not fully engaging, or may not engage against pressure since I can only verify that it is working when it is out of the differential. Any help would be appreciated

I am using VS2012. I have a bug in my code that i don't know how to overcome as it appears in bizarre situation. It works fine in Debug but crashes in Release mode.
I have a class with couple of vectors and some pointers:

When i introduced one more vector (vBar4) to this class it crashes my app even if don't use it anywhere, if i comment it then everything works.
WTF is going on?
Thank you for your time.

Re: When collecting rainwater becomes a problem
If you are at your wits end regarding the Mozzies get one of those squirter type bottles, you know, like your cleaning stuff comes in, (Spray & Wipe) you can pour some clear baby oil into it and using the 'stream' setting in the nozzle squirt the contents into each vessel, This places a oil film on the surface of the stored water which stops the Lave breathing and results in their erradication allbeit for a while, The amount of oil is so small that it poses no threat to plants watered, and I wont tell if you dont.

MesquitoDunks... apparently safe to use in Horse water troughs and animal water bowls.

They only last for 30 days though. Why not just cover them with mesquito netting so the mesquitos can't get to the water to lay their eggs . That will last much longer

It's a "safe place", like many of my items.......than I can't find!
It's not just my sewing room....I am that way ALLL over the house, husband isn't much better so seems as tho we spend half our time searching for something we know we have!! For instance. about a month ago I made little individual meatloaves in my muffin tins...I remember washing them.. then put them away....we haven't seen them since!!! LOL
I'll find them in some ODD place one of these days...ahhhh ole age!!!
looks like you have a lot of company ....me included
You are probably a very visual person. You may not function well when things are put in concealed storage. Maybe implementing a storage system where everything has its place it is still visible would work for you. For example, a peg board for tools rather than in drawers... Fabric on open shelves and projects in clean containers...
i would love to work as a full time personal organizer when I eventually retire from speech therapy. I love to organize things
Me too. That's my excuse for not having cleaned the sewing room lately. However, I am to the point where I can't stand it anymore, so will have to do something.
Around here the saying is ''Its on the islands ''-Out in the Bermuda Triangle there are several islands - Island of Stray Socks-Island of Lost Keys- "Glasses- "Gloves etc...etc...etc...And on occasion the island will send back some of the over flow to us.
oh you are certainly not alone on this one. but, I try to clean up after each project and that has gotten me in the habit of putting some things it the same place over and over. My sewing area is a total disaster right now and I do not plan on seeing it clean and organized for quite some time.
Oh, yeah! Exactly what I set out to do yesterday, get in there and go through everything and find out what is where. I now have a mess that is unbelievable and I have no idea what is anywhere. I did label a few containers and that is the only sensible move I made all day.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has announced that 1,290 athletic programs have been named 2013-14 NAIA Scholar-Teams. Oregon Tech had 14 teams honored, the most in school history. Women's indoor track team led the honored OIT teams with a 3.65 GPA, followed closely by the women's outdoor track team 3.50 GPA and the defending Cascade Conference Champion women's basketball team with a 3.49 GPA.
For a team to be considered for the NAIA Scholar-Team award it must have a minimum 3.0 grade-point average (on a 4.0 scale) as defined by the institution. The team grade-point average includes all eligible varsity student-athletes.
For the second-straight season, Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) had 19 programs honored, tying Biola (Calif.) for the most teams honored overall. Taylor (Ind.) was second with 18 recognized, while College of Idaho, Concordia (Neb.), Hastings (Neb.) and Davenport (Mich.) tied with 17 programs named, respectively. For the third-consecutive year, more than 15 percent of the schools receiving the award had a 3.5 or higher grade-point average (15.7).

|School of Business offers Executive in Residence this fall
|Charles "Randy" Christian '72
The best advice that Charles "Randy" Christian '72, the School of Business executive-in-residence for fall semester, can offer today's students is to speak up for yourself.
Christian speaks from his own experience, 30 years with Johnson & Johnson, most of them on the corporate staff in the human resources and law departments. He spent 2½ years as head of total rewards (compensation and benefits) for J&J's Asia-Pacific operations, based in Singapore and traveling throughout Australia, China, India and Japan.
"I had suggested to J&J that I would be willing to work in Europe, hopefully based in Rome. The response was no,'' explained Christian. Several months later, along came an Asia-Pacific opportunity. He accepted.
"If I had not planted the idea of my working overseas, I do not think they would have put my name into consideration," Christian said. "My wife and I like to say we asked for Rome and got Singapore. We have never once regretted that outcome."
As executive-in-residence, Christian interacts with students and faculty, in and out of the classroom, regarding career and industry issues. He will meet with the school's professional student organizations and confer with the deans on strategic goals. A member of the school's Business Advisory Council, he will spend three one-week stints on campus.
"He is engaging with everyone involved in the school," said Dean Mary Ellen Zuckerman. "He brings in his specific experiences at J&J, as well as his general knowledge about how organizations work, and is able to provide current business advice and mentoring to our students."
After majoring in business administration at Ithaca, Christian obtained a master of education in student counseling and personnel services at the University of Delaware, where he worked seven years. He joined a J&J subsidiary, McNeil Consumer Products, in 1982 as manager of compensation and benefits.
While he spent 30 years with one company, he notes his jobs ranged from compensation benefits to HR information systems to employment litigation to workforce analytics
"I think you have to take care of yourself in an organizational setting, create options and alternatives for you to move in, propose ideas to create opportunities and be opportunistic and ready to say yes, or no, to things that may unexpectedly come your way," said Christian, who retired in 2012 as director of employee analytics.
With the rise of global competition, economic and technological changes, and new types of organizations, he admits 30 years with one company are less likely now.
"Companies today are more inclined to view employees as resources with which they want an option to renew," he said.
If the employee's work is excellent and the work continues to be needed, the company will keep the employee. But if the work is no longer needed, even if the employee is otherwise excellent, the employee is out of a job.
Today, he said, "It is imperative to prepare for continual change over the course of a working career.
"Preparing for continual change means acquiring a foundation of skills and knowledge that is adaptive, can be leveraged to move in different directions, can be built upon to enhance one's value in the marketplace and is able to transcend changes that occur externally."
The skills and interests he's observed among Ithaca students will serve them well in their careers, he said:
- They seek a career for which they have a passion. "Employers definitely like employees who 'want' to do the work they are doing."
- They appreciate the societal importance of sustainability and have "a keen specific interest in sustainable enterprises."
- They have relevant internships and job experiences. "Students seem very conscious of importance of building a resume that looks interesting from an employers' perspective."
- They are interested in global operations and can take advantage of IC's partnership with Shanghai Normal University.
- They have more real-world exposure in their classes than they realize. "When I look at the topics I have seen on some course syllabi, guest speakers being brought into classrooms, computer simulation projects in some classes, the live stock ticker in the Trading Room, I see a lot of current, real-world exposures."

text: MTA responds to governor's budget proposals Statement by MTA President Anne Wass These are extraordinarily difficult times that pose serious challenges to public education and public higher education. We appreciate that Governor Deval Patrick's budget attempts to minimize reductions in preK-12 education, though we are concerned about the impact on students of the cuts that are being made, as well as the very steep reductions in funding for public higher education. Even for those line items that are "level-funded" -- that is, funded at the same dollar level as in FY09 -- the proposed budget amounts to a cut because the cost of providing services continues to rise. As legislators consider how to balance the budget during this recession, we will be reminding them that an educated work force is the best hope for our future economic prosperity. On public higher education: House 1 would reduce state appropriations for public higher education campuses by 16.5 percent. The MTA is strongly opposed to these cuts, which will hurt the quality of services we can provide to students at a time when record numbers are applying to our public colleges and the University of Massachusetts. The cuts will lead to a loss of staff, reductions in courses, declining learning and working conditions, upward pressure on tuition and fees for students and downward pressure on the compensation levels needed to attract and retain the highest-quality faculty and staff. Even before these cuts, Massachusetts ranked 49th in spending on public higher education as a percentage of income. The only possible relief lies in the fact that the federal stimulus package, if approved as currently proposed, will increase Pell grants for students. On preK-12 education: House 1 reduces early childhood education by 5 percent. House 1 funds Chapter 70 at the same dollar level as in FY09, which would drive 153 districts below their foundation budget spending levels, according to DESE. It reduces spending in the remaining Department of Elementary and Secondary Education budget by 11.6 percent, including cuts in various grant programs, regional transportation and special education reimbursements. In addition, schools would be affected by proposed cuts in non-school local aid since municipalities may reduce education spending to fund other important services. We are deeply concerned about any reductions in spending on preK-12 education at a time when students are already losing services due to the economic crisis. We join the governor in hoping that federal stimulus funds help to offset some or all of the state spending cuts in the coming year, but recognize that this spending is both uncertain and intended to be short-term. We support the governor's proposals to increase state and local revenues so that education funding is adequate and stable over the long term. Our students' futures and the future of our economy depend on Massachusetts maintaining high-quality public education. On proposals for charter schools: House 1 would raise the charter school spending cap from 9 percent to 12 percent of district spending in the 50 lowest-performing districts. Schools opened under the higher cap would be required to serve a substantial portion of special education, English-language-learner and low-income students and those at risk of dropping out. Only charter schools with a track record of success with these student populations would be eligible to apply. The MTA continues to oppose the state's system for funding charter schools because it drains money from the traditional public schools, hurting the students who attend them. Consequently, we oppose even a targeted increase in the cap on charter schools, particularly at a time when public school districts are experiencing major funding cuts. The MTA supports a proposed change in the charter school law that requires charter schools to account for any surplus funds held at the end of the school year. On health insurance premiums for state employees: The governor has again proposed a "tiered" premium split for state employees based on income that would increase health insurance costs for large numbers of public higher education faculty and staff. The MTA continues to oppose the governor's plan to increase health insurance premium costs for state employees. (Note that this plan is included in the budget as a line item, not a law change, so the new tiered rates would have to be renewed in future years or they will expire at the end of FY10.) Increasing health insurance costs is, in essence, a pay cut. Massachusetts already spends less on higher education employee compensation than most comparable states, putting us at a competitive disadvantage.

Audio: Al Gore screams about global-warming skeptics
posted at 9:00 pm on August 8, 2011 by Allahpundit
Via Fox Nation. Four years ago, when he won the Nobel, 71 percent said they believed that carbon emissions were causing global warming. Four years later, after a crushing recession, Climategate, and an epic failure at Copenhagen, only 44 percent say they believe it. Meanwhile, 69 percent say it's likely that global-warming scientists have falsified climate research. What you're hearing here, in other words, is the voice of a man who's very, very frustrated, not merely because the science is being questioned but because the dream of a global agreement to limit industrial growth isn't a priority in a world frantic for economic growth of any sort, industrial or otherwise. To that end, if you missed it in June, read Walter Russell Mead's three-part series (one, two, and three) on Gore's green travails. Part one deals with the eternal "do as I say, not as I do" problem; part three tries to contextualize him within the tradition of southern liberalism. Part two gets to the heart of it:
The dream that the menace of global warming will cause humanity to overcome its ancient divisions and unite in a grand global coalition is sophomoric. Rising CO2 levels will not cause the world's governments to accept and enforce international policing of the most intimate details of their economic lives. If the menace of nuclear war can't create world government, the menace of global warming won't do it either…
Mr. Gore's work up to and including his latest Rolling Stone essay has taken a demagogic rather than intellectual approach. His method of arguing is to trumpet the science of climate change and to make ad hominem arguments against its opponents. The science is clear, it is settled, and the opposition against it is funded by people with an economic stake in denial. I am right about the science and my opponents are a bunch of evil opportunists in it only for the money…
The green movement's core tactic is not to "hide the decline" or otherwise to cook the books of science. Its core tactic to cloak a comically absurd, impossibly complex and obviously impractical political program in the authority of science. Let anyone attack the cretinous and rickety construct of policies, trade-offs, offsets and bribes by which the greens plan to govern the world economy in the twenty first century, and they attack you as an anti-science bigot.
To argue with these people about science is to miss the core point. Even if the science is exactly as Mr. Gore claims, his policies are still useless.
Could be. Or maybe if he rants just loudly and long enough, with lots of personal derision towards those who question this scheme, the skeptics will start to see the light. No? Content warning.

JPMorgan Faces Sanction for Withholding Madoff DocumentsRobert Schmidt and Jesse Hamilton
The U.S. Treasury Department's inspector general has threatened to punish JPMorgan Chase & Co. for failing to turn over documents to regulators investigating the bank's ties to Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
Inspector General Eric Thorson gave the largest U.S. bank a Jan. 11 deadline to cooperate with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency probe or risk sanctions for impeding the agency's oversight. JPMorgan, according to the Dec. 21 letter, contends the information is protected by attorney-client privilege.
Thorson's letter didn't spell out what documents the OCC is seeking or the focus of its investigation. Madoff is serving a 150-year sentence after confessing to the fraud that once claimed to have $65 billion in customer assets.
The previously undisclosed OCC probe adds to the lender's troubles in Washington, where several agencies and lawmakers are investigating the bank's loss of at least $6.2 billion on botched derivatives trades. The losses have prompted regulators including the Federal Reserve to consider tightening proposed restrictions on proprietary trading.
Jennifer Zuccarelli, a JPMorgan spokeswoman, said the bank "will of course continue to work together with our regulators" on the investigation.
Confidential Guidance
"This dispute does not go to the merits of the matter but it does raise an important issue of principle: Whether we and other banks, large and small alike, have the fundamental right long recognized in this country to communicate freely with and seek confidential guidance from their lawyers," Zuccarelli said in an interview.
Bryan Hubbard, an OCC spokesman, declined to comment on the agency's inquiry.
In the letter sent to JPMorgan general counsel Stephen Cutler, the inspector general -- the Treasury's internal watchdog -- dismissed JPMorgan's arguments on attorney-client privilege, saying the OCC "could not do its work" if banks were allowed to withhold information on that basis. The OCC, an independent bureau of Treasury, asked the IG office to review the situation, Thorson said in the letter.
Failure to produce the records "will have to be seen as a continuing purposeful impediment to the authority of the OCC," Thorson said in the letter, and would require "further action by our office."
Trustee's Claims
The trustee liquidating Madoff's firm, Irving H. Picard, sued JPMorgan in December 2010, accusing the bank of aiding Madoff's fraud. The lawsuit, eventually demanding $19 billion, the largest of Picard's claims, has since been dismissed. Picard has appealed the ruling.
JPMorgan "had financial reports in its possession that clearly evidenced fraud," David J. Sheehan, lead counsel for Picard and a partner at Baker & Hostetler LLP, said in a February 2011 statement. JPMorgan was the Madoff firm's "primary banker for more than two decades," Sheehan said.
JPMorgan benefited from Madoff accounts while it "helped perpetuate Madoff's fraud by ignoring the red flags, and continuing to structure products and collect fees for their own enrichment," according to the trustee' lawsuit.
The bank would have made $398 million in pretax profit from Madoff deposits from 1986 to 2008, conservatively assuming no reinvestment gain, according to a 2011 study by Linus Wilson, an assistant finance professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The firm declined to comment on the study at the time.
Withdrawing Investments
The trustee's claim also accused the bank of withdrawing $276 million in its own investments in Madoff-related feeder funds about three weeks before Madoff's Dec. 11, 2008, arrest. JPMorgan described the withdrawals as part of "an across-the-board review of its exposure to hedge funds," according to its court filings.
In responding to Picard's suit, the bank issued a statement in 2011 saying it "did not know about or in any way become a party to the fraud" and called it an "unfounded claim" that JPMorgan earned substantial fees from Madoff's account. JPMorgan also objected in court when the trustee sought more freedom to use confidential Madoff documents provided by the bank.
The OCC is also investigating the trading losses in the bank's chief investment office and is preparing an enforcement action, according to a person briefed on the situation who asked not to be named because the matter isn't public. The cease-and-desist order would require the bank to fix internal risk controls, the person said.
FERC Dispute
In a second dispute involving demands from federal regulators for documents, a federal magistrate judge in Washington ruled in November that JPMorgan could invoke attorney-client privilege to keep private e-mails requested by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The agency had accused a JPMorgan unit of making "factual misrepresentations" and omitting material information in communications with the California Independent System Operator, which operates the state's power grid, and in filings to the commission. The FERC suspended the unit's electricity-trading authority for six months starting April 1.

SAN BERNARDINO - Members of the local League of Women Voters had an opportunity on Saturday to gain some more knowledge about the city's financial predicament.
The group gathered at the Norman F. Feldheym Central Library to hear Cal State San Bernardino professor David Baker talk about "Municipal Bankruptcy" and what it means to the city.
Baker, who teaches "Public Financial Management" at the university, said he was encouraged to see citizens going to a meeting to see first-hand what's going on in the city.
"It's good to ask questions like the League of Women Voters does and to get an accountability," Baker said. "Ask what are you doing and how are you doing it? Ask how citizens can help."
There are two types of municipal bankruptcies: the kind caused by a cataclysmic, one-time occurrence; and the type caused by long-term structural operating deficit, Baker said.
Advantages to municipal bankruptcy, he said, include protection against creditors; buying time to address liquidity and solvency; access to experts while negotiating a settlement; and the flexibility of a gradual settlement.
Disadvantages, he said, include increased interest rates and transaction costs and the stigma on the city and region - what Baker calls a "10-year black eye."
There is life after bankruptcy, he said, but its severity plays a role. San Bernardino officials say the city has a $45million deficit but does that mean just balancing the budget or does it include restoring reserves, he said.
League member Susan Nieblas said the group has no political agenda.
"But we're very good at providing information to the public and working with disparate groups about what's good for the city," she said.
Local League President Gloria Anderson said the group would like to see what it could do to help.
"We want civic engagement," she said. "We want to engage the public in finding a solution - where do we go from here? What are the next steps?"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Well try not to blame Rome for the paint issue. It was a manufacturer problem. The samples they got last year were fine and something got changed for production that Rome didn't know.
If you're looking for that responsive of a binding Then CO2 might be your best bet. Something else that might work would be Flow NXT-FRX's or Ride Double Agents.
Need new bindings C60 vs C02
Ok here is the deal. I am in the market to replace my 2001 Burton C14s so far BEST binding I have had.
Previous bindings
97-98 Burton X
99-00 Burton CFX
01-present C14
I bought a pair of Rome 390 Boss bindings for my 01' 156 Forum Bjorn Leines with the intent on mounting them to the 2012 NS Proto. I HATE HATE HATE the Romes in 3 hrs i had paint chips all over the place and compared to my C14s i felt like all turns were delayed and the board just felt DEAD!
I'm looking at the 2010 C60 (can't get 2011 since it was only in EST) and the 2011 CO2 W/re:flex.
I like a VERY stiff VERY responsive binding for that reason C60 would be the obvious choice. But the Re:flex on the CO2 and the stiffness that i hear it has makes me think it would be a better match to a 152 NS Proto CT when it's released. Whats confusing me is that on Burtons website the CO2 has a 7 Flex rating. Same as the cartels and I know the cartels are very much like the 390 Boss. How much is the response difference from the C60 to the CO2.... Ideally I would love to put the living hinge disk into the C60 IF at all possible. I would really like some input from those that have ridden both the C60 and Co2 and if you felt a big difference in response. I would get out to the mountains to Demo but sadly Burton doesn't do many Demos at all in Northern Japan, just Tokyo area which is a solid 10+hr drive from me. I do know the binding would be a Medium I was at least able to get to my local shred shop to match my boots to the bindings. But the Language barrier prevents me from getting the question I have here answered.

Defending the middle ground of online journalism
It's easy to use polarizing descriptions of online news-gathering. It's the domain of citizen journalists, blogging without pay and institutional support, or it's a sector filled with the digital works of "mainstream media" facing financial worries and struggling to offer employees the protection they once provided. But there is a growing middle ground: trained reporters and editors who work exclusively online on projects born independent of traditional media. They share many of the practices of an older generation of reporters, but their work draws from the decentralized and agile practices of the digital world.

New beekeeper here with a question on mite control.
Would confining the queen in a hair clip queen catcher for a period of time, perhaps a week or 9 days, so that all of the brood is capped be an effective way of controlling mites?
New beekeeper here with a question on mite control.
Would confining the queen in a hair clip queen catcher for a period of time, perhaps a week or 9 days, so that all of the brood is capped be an effective way of controlling mites?
I don't think that's a long enough time to make a serious dent in the mite breeding cycle. I've read about doing this by taking the queen away and making up a new nuc with her, and letting the main hive raise a new queen from eggs or newly hatched larvae. By the time their new queen is laying, it's been almost a month and that would supposedly seriously crash the mite population. This can be done in the late summer, so Spring honey harvest would not be effected, and you'd then have a low mite population heading into Fall. A fresh new queen can quickly build the bee population up again by Fall.
The little bee returns with evening's gloom,
To join her comrades in the braided hive... -Tennyson
I've heard of the 'queen arrest method' where the queen is temporarily confined to a single brood frame or portion thereof. This method is labour intensive, slows down colony development and may only be suitable for the dedicated, small time beekeeper. The confinement time frame is 21 days.
If you confine the queen two weeks before the main flow (or at the latest right AT the main flow) you will actually get more honey than if you don't because there will be no open brood to care for freeing up nurse bees to forage. If you confine the queen earlier it will hurt honey production. If you confine the queen later it will cut into young bees for the winter.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Micheal, Not knowing brood production in your area, but I have pictures of a five framer nuc with a queen mated early October and there's three frames of brood and she's still in full laying mode.
Sorry to the Mods for the shameless plug
I've done some experiments with this, as I saw published that mites live 100 days, so tried different length brood breaks to see if it would eradicate or partly eradicate the mites. Didn't work very well, and I've decided that mites must live quite a bit more than 100 days.
I've read quite often on Beesource that a brood break while they are raising a new queen, which would be around a month, will greatly hit mite numbers. However my own experience is a brood break of a month makes little difference.
In places like Canada, where they have a long broodless period in winter, the bees can still have quite a few mites when brood raising starts again in spring, relative to what they went into the winter with.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Oldtimer is probably right. What I do is once I get the colony broodless, then I can use powered sugar to knock the mites off. This is probably one of the only times that PS is really effective against mites.
Michael Bush hit the nail on the head!
A lot more honey if all they have to worry about is honey!
I have been using the http://www.mdasplitter.com/ technique for several years now and only counted
3 mites in my hives this season.
Works great and you gain by not using costly meds. and by increasing your colonies.
My own thought is there are many aging mites that have reached their final reproduction cycle during the brood less period. That portion of mites die before brood is available to realize their chance to add to the mite population. It's really more about the percentages of mites that are at the back side of the 100 days rather than young mites.
I think there are also other things going on in the colony during a brood break that may not stand out like increased grooming/cleaning where mites are disposed of outside the hive. What is being accomplished is a mite level that is tolerable for the colony without the use of miticides.
The other thing to consider is the effectiveness of a brood break when comparing bees that have not had miticide treatments for several generations over bees that are just coming off of treatments. My experience is the later bees don't respond as well.
To get the very best results out of the brood break it is important that all brood is capped at the start date. You can not get a decent break by just caging the queen when their is open brood of all stages unless you extend the time she is caged.

Just thinking out loud here.....
If I wanted to significantly reduce the mite load it would seem most efficient to remove frames, shake bees into box and replace ALL brood with drawn comb. This essentially sets the hive back 3 weeks but it is immediately broodless. The removed frames could be frozen and then cleaned out.

The good thing about the http://www.mdasplitter.com/ technique is you also gain a nuc and you mock swarming.
I put the old queen with 2-3frames brood/bees in a nuc box and let the old colony produce a new queen from the existing brood, hence, breaks the mites cycle, I gain a new colony, and the old colony gets a new young vigorous laying queen.
I did this to 30+ colonies last year and left as is, the remainder of my colonies for "Honey Production".
The 30 colonies did great and not one of them swarmed (I mark and clip my queens). The remaining honey production colonies swarmed and kept producing swarm cells.
I only found 3 mites in my colonies last year, when in years past I had high mite counts in my colonies, but since going to Mel's tech. I am almost mite free and have been med free for 3 years!
How long can you confine a queen in a hair clip queen catcher? Have it hang between frames for nursebees to take care of her? I'd like to try this during orange blossom nectar flow in spring--or I may start 4 or 5 nuks with queens from my strongest hives--that might get a higher honey crop from original hive? I am blessed, my bee's honey is selling more than I have harvested so far. I have 8 hives and just finished my second year.
A side track; I have 2 hives that lost queens somehow and made their own queen, and this happened in October for one and November for the other. I am in SW Fl, is it not a good thing for those colonies come spring?
I generally followed the MDASplitter method this year too, I see the logic in it.
I'm too small scale to see the results much yet, but so far so good.
Will be able to test it more next year if I have at least two survivor hives from my 5 colonies.
The little bee returns with evening's gloom,
To join her comrades in the braided hive... -Tennyson

The speech wasn't about her being gay. She mentioned it but that is it. It was mostly about the lack of privacy in a celebrity's life. The only coming out she did was tell the world she was single. She touched on a lot of things, but it was a great speech. For gracious sake, she made A-listers male and female CRY. It was powerful.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by ddh33, Jan 9, 2013.
Simple question: which defensive front do you prefer?
3-4 or 4-3 and why?
4-3. 4 men close to the action is better than 3. I will always believe that.
Being a 70's guys and thru the 90's. 4-3 baby.
But I really dont care so long as its good. This sucking really sucks.
4-3, I think it provides more consistent pressured, and is an easier scheme for players to play in.
It's difficult to ask a linebacker/defensive end to play in coverage, run defense, and pass rush.
A 4-3 defensive end doesn't have to worry nearly as much about coverage.
This means you can get players out of college who know pretty much what they need to do, and not learn a new position, and then at times learn another position.
How many linebackers have we drafted who have gone in and outside. This stunts growth, and it's why we don't have defensive players step up very quickly on this team.
43 is a better scheme against the emerging trend in offenses. The mean reversion in trends toward the 34 comes from personnel rarity - when few teams run the 34, it becomes more effective because there's less competition for players. When it becomes more popular as a result, most teams are less effective running it.
Right now and for the next 5-6 years I would run a 43 if I had the right personnel.
3-4 for two reasons.
1. If run correctly it is better suited to defend these crazy spread/pistol offenses that are invading the league.
2. Our current personnel is better suited for it.
4-3. I think its easier to run on a 34 defense and the personel is harder to find.
3-4. It's a more flexible and athletic defense.
I think the opposite. It's easier to find a pass rushing OLB than it is a pass rushing DE who can also hold up in the run game.
Yeah I don't know. There is alot of projection in the draft when it comes to olbs in a 34 though, most of them play end in college. The real kicker for me is I think the 43 is better suited to stop the run.
Don't agree here. I think it used to be that way but now that passing games are becoming more complex, you not only need a guy who can rush like Ware and tackle like Carter but you have to cover like Lee and you have to be big as well. That is a harder athlete to find. It's basically the same guy as a DE but he has to be able to cover. DE's don't have to do that.
3-4 is a superior defensive scheme. It's harder to design and coach, but with a smart coordinator and remotely smart players it's better against the run and pass.
For this reason.
honestly to me it always comes down to the coordinator and personnel .
The 3-4 is great as an attacking defense with fast physical players and a stout nt .
But with this team and lovie hopefully coming in 4-3 makes more sense .
I hope we can find a way to keep spencer because hes great against the run i think he would be a good le .
So 4-3 it is .
I don't believe there is any way, at all, we can keep both Romo and Spencer. Numbers are just too far to the red for that.
If I were starting a team from scratch, I think a variation of the nickel would be my base defense. Only problem is it would require three great safeties who could rotate up and the NFL is bereft of quality safeties.
I want to play a mixed front with platooning. You could certainly use a standard 4-3 and 3-4 against some teams when its called for but you aren't likely to run one or the other for the entire game. We've been mixing it up for awhile.
I'd like to have more personnel to get more pressure and play the run better. I think you have to mix and match the right personnel and of course you're going to get the perfect play called against you a certain percentage of the time no matter what front you have called.
So there is no simple answer to your question and we have been running a mixed front for awhile now. Of course when this gets mentioned most ignore it as they have no idea what we really do.
I like the 4-3.
I like having size and strength on the field, and the Cowboys haven't learned that it takes a MONSTER NT first, to employ a 3-4 and they just won't do it.
Having bigger, slower outside linebackers helps defeat the pistol/spread? Not sure I'm following.
The 4-3 is the way to go for an indoor team like the Cowboys. You want speed on all 3 levels of the defense - DLine, LB, and secondary.

Had a first today. Wanted to see if anyone else has ever experienced this.
Put queen in the NICOT/Mann Lake box late last Friday. Let her loose, yesterday, Monday. I have found that it takes at least 48-54 hours for her to have layed in a large majority of the cell cups. Saw eggs and a couple with royal jelly in the bottom.
Went today today to check and see if more had royal jelly and POOF no eggs left in the cells. The only thing left was the 2-3 that already had royal jelly yesterday.
Anyone ever experience this? Just curious....

Reviews of this property
Super - newly restored, spotlessly clean, close to everything.
The most fantastic was the balcony overlooking the sea I don't think you can get better weave in Zadar city.
Very close to the Orgel so if many wawes you may have lot of "music" when you have open doors that could be irritating but when you close the doors you hear nothing.
Mondena you have to ask your brother to be a little more serviceminded and smiling.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The appartment was perfect. Friendly people, so its a place to come back to!
The apartment is in a great location, very modern and makes good use of space. Communication with the owner was a bit difficult at first as their phone was off when we arrived. Once they turned it on and called us everything was sorted very quickly. We would definitely recommend this apartment to others.
Wonderful appartment in a good location. We stayed a family with two teen daughters and all was perfect for us. Thankyou Mondena!
This apartment is a truly special. The location in downtown is perfect! Do not be put off by the small square footage, since this apartment is a space saver !! Everything is super coordinated and well thought out. The lack of parking is not a problem due to free parking outside the city walls.
Thank you for the great time in Zadar
Diese Wohnung ist ein wirklich was Besonderes. Die Lage in der Innenstadt ist optimal! Nicht von der geringen Quadratmeterzahl abschrecken lassen, denn dieses Apartment ist ein Raumwunder!! Alles ist super aufeinander abgestimmt und gut durchdacht. Der fehlende Parkplatz ist aufgrund von kostenlosen Parkplätzen außerhalb der Stadtmauer auch kein Problem.
Danke für die schöne Zeit in Zadar
Very nice , new , spacy , clean appartment. Very friendly owners.
Great stay in Magical Apt. Photos lying certainly not, and we were greeted by a very friendly and competent and English speaking hostess who showed us around and gave a super review of attractions, eateries etc. Clean and tidy. Nothing was missing. A half-hour walk from the old Zadar, restaurants, bus and shopping nearby. Certainly not the last time Wimdu is used and Croatia / Zadar also visited again.
Fantastisk ophold i Magical Apt. Fotos lyver bestemt ikke, og vi blev mødt af en meget venlig og kompetent og engelsktalende værtinde, der viste os rundt og gav en supergod gennemgang af attraktioner, spisesteder osv. Rent og pænt. Ingenting manglede. En halv times gåtur fra det gamle Zadar, restauranter, bus og indkøbsmuligheder i nærheden. Bestemt ikke sidste gang wimdu bliver brugt og Kroatien/Zadar skal også besøges igen.
The apartment was in short 1A.Sehr spacious and beautiful room, super equipped kitchen and two toilets with bath and shower.The owner and his wife are very nice and helpful people. Outside the porch and the garden are very well maintained and clean. Walk to the center is possible in 10 minutes. Would in Zadar once again living there. Score of 9.5 to 10
Das Appartment war kurz gesagt 1A.Sehr geräumige und schöne Zimmer,super ausgestattete Küche und zwei Toiletten mit Badewanne und Dusche.Der Besitzer und seine Frau sind sehr nette und hilfsbereite Menschen. Draussen die Veranda und der Garten sind sehr geplegt und sauber. Zu Fuss ins Zentrum ist in 10 Minuten möglich . Würden in Zadar sofort wieder dort Wohnen. Note 9.5 bis 10
A beautiful apartment

Kung Fu. Master of the entire mountain.
By Collin Collins
from Sun Valley, ID
About Me Professional
Comments about K2 Kung Fujas Skis 2013:
The Kung Fujas is what I call the perfect "One Ski Quiver." This ski does it all, carves beautifully, tears up chunder and crud, can rip a mogul line, or lay it down in the terrain park. I usually use this ski in the park, it's nice and soft which makes it more forgiving and playful that most skis. But the Kung Fujas is also a wonderful carving tool. It is smooth and stable on the groomed runs and carves very well. This is a versatile ski, when there is fresh snow, the Kung Fu is wide enough and just perfectly rockered to float and tear through powder and chunder. This is what makes it perfect for any day on any mountain. It will handle whatever you throw at it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Kung Kickarse
By Kiwi Skier
from Taupo, New Zealand.
About Me Advanced
Demoed these on Turoa ski field in NZ and loved them. Went straight out and bought a pair.Playfull, stable, easy to ski with suprisingly good edge grip.I demoed lots of other skis of similar type over the last two seasons (Shoguns, Francis Bacons, S7s, S3s, and many others) and these just felt right.I am 65kg/1.7m and ski the 179cm. I also ski a pair of Dynastar 6th sense distorters in 167cm and the k2s don't feel too big in 179.All up, really fun, capable ski.

Kung Fujas Review
By cshalbot
from Stevens Pass
The Fujas is easily K2's most versatile model from their Factory Team Series. With a softer tip and tail that flex similar to the Hellbent it makes it really easy and forgiving to ski. It can be your pow ski, it can be your all mountain ski, it can even be your park ski. It's that good everywhere. I still found it to be stable under foot which made it easy to control regardless of conditions. It does everything so well so I don't want to pigeon hole it as a specific user but really think a skier who wants the feel of a park ski that will handle anything that is thrown at them will feel most at home on these.

Beefy Love
By Toes on the Nose
from Portland, OR
About Me Expert
I just rode my 189cm 2013 K2 Kung Fujas for the first time. They are true all mountain sticks. All Mountain meaning powder, crud, groomers, park, and everything in between. If you are riding ice all day, maybe not the ski for you. But if you like to charge in mixed conditions with confidence, these guys will suit you nicely.
