Essaouira, Morocco (CNN)For many tourists, Morocco is best known for its historic cities, rugged landscape and sumptuous cuisine. But for surfers, it's fast becoming known for the crashing waves that pound its Atlantic coastline.
For decades, fish has been big business in Essaouira, the charming, former Portuguese settlement on the west coast of Morocco.
As stocks have depleted, however, the locals have started to shift their focus to more lucrative industries.
While the seas no longer possess the riches they once did, for many inhabitants, they still represent a lifeline -- only now the biggest catch is the tourists riding the waves.
Abdullah Aitdir is one of those who have taken advantage of this business opportunity. His father ran a grocery store in the nearby village of Taghazout, which Aitdir has converted into a surf school.
"Surfing is more profitable," he explains. "Even if it's seasonal, it's still good."
In recent years he has seen a move towards a more organized, better regulated surfing industry.
"It used to be chaos," says Aitdir. "Everyone would just come and try to [enter] the surfing industry without paying any taxes, and there were no regulations. Now, there are more rules," he adds.
With Morocco boasting more than 300 sunshine days a year and 1,800 km of coastline, it's little wonder that surfing is proving profitable.
Check out the gallery above and video below to see why Morocco is becoming a surfing hotspot.

Re: feta cheese
My wife makes an incredible feta cheese bruschetta.. just add lots of feta to the chopped tomatoes, some minced onion , pureed garlic ,bit of olive oil,. oregano. She cuts a baggette lenghtwise in half , spreads this on top of each half and bakes it for awhile. finish it off under the broiler . killer.
Great dish at our favourite greek restaurant is Shrimp Saganaki. Large shrimp braised in a fresh tomato sauce with tons of feta mixed in .

Re: feta cheese
A very quick and easy recipe is one tomato, one pepper (whatever color you like) feta cheese, some oregano and pepper...
cut the tomato and the pepper in small cubes, cover with feta and sprinke with oregano and pepper and put it in the oven medivm heat for 10 minutes (or as much as you like it baked) and ready to be eaten (yammy, my mouth's drullin'). Just keep playing with recipes as you already do and you'll see that feta -almost - goes with everything!
Just be careful as many don't play nice and mix cow's milk in feta cheese and that's not the original recipe.... Feta cheese is only made by goat's and lamp's milk... Buy only the known brands!
Good luck!

On behalf of everyone here at New Market Press & Denton Publications, let me wish you a happy Thanksgiving.
In these rapidly changing times, our culture is undergoing a massive transformation when it is easy to find so many things about which to complain. Look around, pick up a newspaper, turn on the radio or TV, or log onto the Internet and you'll find tons of material from which you can sing the blues. Complaining seems to be our most popular pastime these days.
We can't take lightly the challenging economic times we find ourselves in at this point in time. But this weekend, as much as any other time, we need to realize and reflect on all we have to be thankful for as we sit here in 2012. This country is still full of promise and opportunity.
Hopefully your Thanksgiving was highlighted by a wonderful meal in the company of friends and family. Some of you may have lost those dear to you since last year and while it may be painful without them, be thankful for the good times you enjoyed with them while they were here and treasure those previous Thanksgiving meals when you were all together.
Not too many years ago, if you were unable to connect in person with all your love ones, as cross-country travel was very expensive, what a task it was to just to try a make a phone call. We had stationary, hard wired, rotary phones with very expensive long distances charges. Many times the phones lines were so busy over a major holiday weekend that calls couldn't get through. We didn't have speed dial, answering machines or voicemail, so you might have to try many times. Today with our smart phones, computers, tablets and social media, we can send instant pictures and minute-by-minute details of events to distant family and friends. Plus, we can call them at will from almost anyplace or even Skype them in real time and carry on face-to-face conversations through the computer screen across the world.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Help me choose footwear
Aug 28, 2013 at 7:57 am #1307047
Hello fellow backpackers !
I need your help in choosing my new footwear.
I will use it for 3 season backpacking, but mostly on good weather, up to 9000 feet.
I see on these forums people are recommending light shoes.
But if I look at major manufacturer websites (La Sportiva, Garmont,..), in their hiking/backpacking section, they only have boots.
There is another category of shoes: approach shoes, but manufacturers don't recommend them for backpacking (and I'm not sure what they are actually)
So please let mw know what should I look in a shoe:
-I get it there should be no no gore-tex
-what kind of stiffness ?
-what kind of sole ?
-what kind of padding in the sole ?
What kind of socks ? I guess I'll be wet more so cotton socks are out !
You may stop reading here or….
Let me tell you a little bit of background:
My feet do not perspire much, so I had no issues wearing GoreTex boots (Asolo 95 GTX) and cotton socks for the past 10 years.
I do get blisters on the back of the foot from time to time.
In the winter I have some very long leather boots that I use (I don't do any hard stuff, just
Last weekend, while on a hike, the soles finally gave up, so I had to improvise and I used my Teva sandals to hike.
What a difference ! So light, so fresh. I enjoyed hiking in sandals with a 20 pounds backpack on an easy trail.
I'm not sure if it would have worked so well on wet rocks though.
Thank you in advance !Aug 28, 2013 at 8:24 am #2019412

Approach shoes are used by climbers for approaching climbs. They feature very soft, sticky rubber soles, great for scrambling/climbing steep rock, but wear very quickly making them less suitable for hiking, they just don't last very long.Aug 28, 2013 at 8:37 am #2019416

@davecLocale: The West Slope
You're looking for trail running shoes. Approach shoes tend to have a narrower fit and less padding; good for climbing, less so for hiking.
We'll need information about your foot shape and preferences to makes a recommendation. If you have a decent outdoor store nearby, go visit, try on a bunch of stuff, and buy something that fits and feels good. You can't make good choices without data.Aug 28, 2013 at 8:44 am #2019421

I have had great experiences with both La Sportiva trail runners (Wildcat, Raptor) and the Montrail Mountain Masochist.
Did an 8-day backpacking trip with brand new Montrails out of the box (forgot my shoes at home!) and they were fantastic! Similarly, I put in 25-mile days for each of my La Sportivas when I bought them to test them out and they were also great. Highly recommend both of these companies.Aug 28, 2013 at 8:47 am #2019423

A bit of a "de -lurk" here but the topic seems appropriate . I just switched from big heavy backpacking boots (two ponds each) to trail running shoes.
This was quite,a,leap of faith for me because I am a notorious ankle turner,
However based on the information I got from this great site I decided to take the chance.
I just completed a six day circuit of the demanding "la cloche silhouette " trail wearing La Sportiva Wildcat trail running shoes and was blown away by the difference.
I swapped out the insoles for superfeet orange soles which really helped the stability and for socks went with Icebreaker Merino wool (also great).
The shoes I chose weren't gore tex (another leap of faith for me) and handled very well on extremely slick rocks.
I did my shoe shopping immediately after a 10 km hike with a 30 lb pack which really helped getinma proper fit you may want to try the same .Aug 28, 2013 at 8:48 am #2019424

For me I wouldn't use approach shoes. As Jim said they wear easily and they are also too narrow in the toe box. Everyone has there favorite shoe for hiking, I happen to like shoes with a little harder sole. When I hike with trail runners and get what I call 'foot fatigue'. At the end of a 25 mile day the bottom of my feet are thumbing and when I do a four day 100 mile hike they are really sore. Not blister sore….just thumbing sore. I found the sole on Keen's to work for me. The shoe is slightly heavier then a trail runner, but the thumbing has gone away….I don't know how that works. I recently bought a pair of GoLite Mountain Gecko shoes. They have a firmer sole with a 2mm drop. I wore them this weekend on a 35 mile overnighter. My feet weren't thumbing and they felt good. I did get a blister on each foot, but I took care of that with placement of duct tape. I will be doing a 128 mile hike in them the 2nd week of September. I'm doing the last north section of the PCT round trip.
I will say I was at a local mountaineering store here in Seattle yesterday and picked up a pair of Montrell Mountain Massochist II on sale for half price. They are extremely comfortable, but are soft. Maybe I'll try them…maybe not.Aug 28, 2013 at 8:58 am #2019428

@hairlessapeLocale: PNW
When I say 'thumbing' that's exactly what the bottom of my feet are doing after a long day with soft trail shoes. They feel like they have their own heart and they are pounding hard…..they are 'thumbing'. Does that make sense? I guess I should've used the word 'pounding'? I need to elevate my feet for 30 minutes for it to go away.Aug 28, 2013 at 9:52 am #2019460

@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
If you look at major manufacturers, they also have heavy tents, packs, sleeping bags,…
Another possibility is the lightest mid height boots. For example, I have some Ahnu Mendocino boots that weigh 48 ounces per pair.
It keeps water and dirt out of your feet better than lower shoes.
You can try different shoes and use what you like best.Aug 28, 2013 at 10:18 am #2019474
How do trail running shoes differ from approach shoes ?
Most of them seem to be mesh which makes me think that my toes will take much of the weight when going down a slope with 20 pound backpack.
My guess is they are not meant for mountains, but running on hilly/soft terrain.
Since there is not much to choose for me in my country, I am more interested to know what should I look for in a shoe?
Padding in the midsole, hard/flexible sole, big lugs, mesh/suede uppers ?
Thank you for your comments !
For example here some of my options:

folks approach shoes DO NOT wear any faster than those fancy UL trail runners
in fact they are MORE durable in general
the construction is beefier for scrambling/climbing … realistically by the time the rubber wears out, the shoes will be falling apart elsewhere …
the main issues with approach shoes is
– most of em are leather (natural or synth) for durability … they dont dry the quickest as a result
– for some the tread pattern is not the best for wet/muddy conditions … you dont generally climb when its really wet/muddy
climbers wear approach shoes on … well approaches … all the time ..
these often arent nice groomed trails that everyone prances along on … but talus, scree, boulders, slab, bushwhacking at times, … and they climb in em … jamming em into cracks, slab, etc …
UL trail runners will NOT last as long under such use … ive tried
this is what approach shoes will look like after a few years of DAILY use ….
to the OP … get what FITS YOU … go to a store try it all one … even then you may still have issues … remember if you want to go to the lightest most minimal footwear youll need to TRAIN you feet
it also depends what you want to do … theres a few threads around with people having issues with minimal shoes in certain conditions … remember that just because someone on BPL likes it doesnt mean itll work for you

I'm mostly hiking in the northeast in very rocky terrain and can offer this:
I used a pair of Brooks Pure Grit II on the Great Range traverse about a month ago. I did it pretty fast, in about 8 hours, but wasnt really running most the time. They had never seen a trail before this and were pretty much new looking going in. Conditions were pretty muddy and wet at times but otherwise everything was OK. My feet got soaked a number of times, but no issues from this. I bruised my bones a number of times on rocks through the uppers.
From that one hike, I have three holes in the shoes now, although they don't appear to be shoe ruining just yet. But they are there nonetheless. The foam is shredded in a number of places on the sides.
Traction was excellent throughout the hike.
2nd up is Altra LonePeak's. not the current 1.5 version. These are really comfortable feeling allowing great freedom of movement, and traction is about the same as the Pure Grit II. I feel sharp or pointy rocks more through these than the Pure Grit II. I've also hurt my foot a number of times on rocks through the uppers. I ran up Algonquin with these and also went up Madison in NH this past weekend.
I've decided they do not offer enough support in the uppers for my needs. My foot tends to roll over the outside edge when hiking/running aggressively. i liken it to a corkscrew like feeling, and my foot feels worked over/tired compared to other shoes.
next up, new balance mt10v1. I love these shoes for backpacking and hiking at slower speeds. They surprisingly feel great on even very rocky terrain. I took them up Mt Washington this past weekend and I felt glued to the rocks. I've also backpacked in Utah with them. I love them for running too but unfortunately my body is not ready for them just yet. I can't take the pounding with minimal cushion. they seem durable but the rubber tread will not last very long most likely.
And finally, la sportiva ultra raptors. I ran up and down Mt Adams in NH on the airline trail this weekend with these. They were brand new out of the box and although felt a bit confining at first, eventually that disappeared, and I really like these shoes. They aren't as comfortable as the new balance mt10 but have a secure nearly glove like fit on my foot, excellent traction, and have good stability when navigating rocky terrain at high speeds. They also offer great protection in technical terrain.Aug 28, 2013 at 12:13 pm #2019539

@davecLocale: The West Slope
Trail runners will generally be more flexible than approach shoes, with a much wider toebox and more padding, especially in the mid and fore foot. They often have more aggressive tread, especially in the toe area.
Most trail runners are designed for trails. However, they can be worn safely in the most rugged terrain imaginable provided the user is properly conditioned. And yes, while wearing a pack much heavier than 20 pounds. The only downsides are durability, of both the sole and upper, and the need to build strong legs and feet.Aug 28, 2013 at 4:03 pm #2019618

That brings back good memories from 10 years ago. Sorry as I reminisce.
I brought my boots as backups but then I thought "Wait. This will always work and feels MUCH better" So I've been wearing Teva's ever since. BTW, some of them have excellent traction on wet sloping granite.
Some of my trypical sandal adventures:
Sandals are great for going cross country off trail. That little orange dot in the middle is my brother. This is last week (8/22/13) as we search for the 1955 B-25 bomber crash site in Utah's Timpanogos:
Or my son crossing a river in MO. It's hard to beat a Teva in fast drying:
Or when you get that unexpected snow dump in IL you can put on 2 pairs of thicker socks (or down booties) w/o squishing your blood supply:
The Teva Terra Fi has a stiff sole so it's great for walking on Talus in the Timpanogos. It feels like a massage and the feet can handle a few hours of this. Here's my brother again:
Here's our group crossing a river in the Teton's last month. Sandals are just convenient:
And when we were in the Teton's it dumped rain and hail on us for 5 hours and flooded the trail and everywhere. Sandals are perfect to walk through that stuff:
Or in the Wind Rivers Highline trail last year, the wetness was great for sandals:
On my way up to the Highline, some old gentlemen with giant backpacks, boots and gaitors told me sandals can't make it on the highline trail. What? It was perfect for sandals:
Here's a 7 year old with us last year doing a 3-day 30 mile loop in the tetons. You can rest in your sandals; like a slipper:
And at camp, the sandals feel great. Here's me, cousin, and you can't see the rest of the group:
Good luck with your foot wear choice.
-The mountains were made for TevasAug 28, 2013 at 4:42 pm #2019633
Thanks for your comment. I wanted to discuss sandals.
Good to hear that Teva Fi's cand handle rough terrain.
Few questions come to mind :
-what model would you recommend that is grippy on wet rocks ?
-what was the most extreme weather that you wore sandals ?
-I hiked in sandal without socks, and my feet gripped the rubber of the insole, thus it did not put much pressure to the straps.
I imagine, wearing socks in cooler temps would make the foot slip and rely more on the straps.

Hello Mihai,
"-what model would you recommend that is grippy on wet rocks ?"
Well I've had great success with the Terra Fi-3. I thought the Fi-2 was good but the Fi-3 has meaner tread. And it doesn't harden up and become slippery when cold. But the down-side with the 'spyder rubber' is you only get 200-500 miles off it as it wears down sooner than harder rubbers like vibram.
"-I hiked in sandal without socks, and my feet gripped the rubber of the insole, thus it did not put much pressure to the straps."
My wife can do that but on long or hot hikes, I get blisters. I have never gotten blisters when I wore socks. See more details in that on the 2nd page of my gear list.
"I imagine, wearing socks in cooler temps would make the foot slip and rely more on the straps."
Hmm. I haven't experienced this, but you should cinch the straps tight (not too tight) so that there is NO slippage. This eliminates friction.
"-what was the most extreme weather that you wore sandals ?"
I wear them from 20F to 120F (I'm not outside long in that heat). The heat is easy with sandals. The cold is trickier; I usually put on down booties in the sandals. Terra-Fi's have long enough straps to handle these. I don't like post holing in my sandals (which I've done). If I know I'll encounter a lot of snow, I'll backpack in my North Face Nuptse down boots; ironically they're lighter than my sandals. But I've been in tornadoes, swamp, bogs, floods, and imho sandals are perfect for that. High mileage beach walking is another tricky scenario (well practically with any shoe). I have to wear a real thick sock in those situations.
Sandals are like wearing slippers in God's country.
Good luck with your foot wear choice.

Depending on the temperature generally there are two strategies:
1. Keep your feet dry
2. Let them get wet and dry out fast
For most summer/3-season hiking I think #2 is the better strategy—and much lighter.
If you are unsure about trail runners I would suggest trying a weekend in normal running shoes—which you probably already own. This will give you an idea of what your getting into.
Coming from boots most people focus on "trail runners" but most runners (go to any decent running shoe store and talk the the owner) will say there is very little difference between a trail running shoe and a running shoe. I run in Brooks and their Glycerin shoe could easily be branded a "trail runner". I also have the new lightweight trail runners from Merrill and they are much lighter than most 'normal' running shoes (I also get "thumbing" when I hike on small rocks or long distances in these because of the thin soles.).
My feeling is that once you drop the high-ankle support of the boot there is very little reason not go directly to running shoes of some type. Low-top "boot" or approach shoes are the heaviest option with the least support. I'd only use these if I had a specific use in mind that called for them or lived in an area that had a lot of rock scrambling.
Running shoes and thin black synthetic running socks are hard to beat if your going light. This also has the advantage of being by far the cheapest option if cash is in short supply. Last year's models shoes can be picked up on the internet for $50-60 bucks (half off) and black running socks can be purchased at Target for next to nothing (I like black because you can't see the dirt—it's still there but at least I can't see it). Also, you will never be tempted to carry "camp shoes" and you'll likely never get a blister.

Southwest El Paso County roads are still damaged
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - Heavy duty cleanup continues along Cheyenne and Rock Creek.
It's from all that damage caused by flooding Thursday.
The floods took out bridges and roads. Nearly a foot of rain fell on Thursday alone in the area.
The creeks are still running high today since some of the water is being absorbed by the trees and vegetation on the mountainsides. But the dirt that is flowing down the mountains is causing some of the backup as well by clogging the creeks.
Those who live near both creeks say that crews from the county have done a good job of getting the roads back open, but there are still some trouble spots.
Andre Brackin is the El Paso County engineer. He said, "especially west of Highway 115, that area down there is our biggest problem area down south. Paseo Corto is one of those roads, Rock Creek Canyon. Those roads, while they may be passable for some vehicles, I would say they're not in any kind of good condition for travel."
Brackin believes that many of the roads that were washed out during the flood will need to be totally rebuilt at some point. For now, the county does not have the money to do that.

Discussion in 'The Coffee Shop ~ Chit Chat' started by tbplus10, Jul 8, 2012.
I snapped this shot this afternoon, can anyone tell me what isnt right in this picture?
Can really zoom in but is that receiver under the truck?
If you said yea the boats on a trailer in the driveway on a perfectly sunny day, the trailer should be empty and the boat out on the lake pulling skiers you were correct.
But anyways post up a pic of your waterborne pride if ya got one.
Hopefully the next pic you see of mine will be on the water with a nice wake behind it and a grinning fool at the helm.
And no ahmitchell1 the hitch isnt the problem, its the idiot that spent all day waxing and polishing the boat in the driveway instead of taking it out on the lake.
Mine, I have two seadoo bombardiers and a seadoo speedster. That's my nephews truck on the right and it was given to him so he had no choice, he's only 17. He loves to help pull the boat and go out on it!
We're parked at the hotel in Austin TX waiting for tomorrow!
Haha I'm dumb. We just got a new Malibu 22 mxz. I actually just left the lake for school I'll get a pic of it. Here some old ones I got though
Taking the little kids out
Old Malibu with some knee boarders I'm on the fa left
one of the labs chillen
Err... Tim... are YOU that idiot? :rofl:
Oh yea can't help but remeber reminess on the old day. I think I'm like 8
Yep I would be, forcast calls for storms tomorrow so putting off going to the lake wasnt such a good idea.
The worst part is I can see the lake from my second floor windows so I know it'll be taunting me all day tomorrow.
I know, I came all the way to Austin for vacation with the boat and now this. Ohh well I guess I'll have to boat around mother natures schedule!!
Is that a 96 xp with the 800 on the right?
My 95 xp now has the 800. I love the flat hull they're insane unlike the new ones. Speed get boring after awhile

Story highlights
- Two Disney ships took multiple honors
- Fine dining is increasingly important at sea
- One ship won the best overall and the best value for money awards
Never mind those pesky norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships earlier this year. And who wants to hear more unappetizing details from the first Carnival Triumph "poop cruise" trial?
Millions of cruisers set sail every year for fun, sun and relaxation, and we assume that most of them return home happy and rested. Disney's cruise ships seem to make many of those cruisers especially happy, as seen from their big wins at the 2014 Cruise Critic Cruisers' Choice Awards, the Cruise Critic website announced Wednesday.
Disney's Fantasy ship took 6 of 10 awards in the large ship category, while Disney's Wonder took 3 of 10 awards in the mid-size ship category.
"The Cruisers' Choice Awards are a fantastic honor for cruise lines to receive as they're based on personal experiences shared by cruisers themselves," said Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor-in-chief of Cruise Critic. "This list of winners truly reflects excellence in the industry, and serves as a seal of approval from consumers who have sailed on these ships over the past year."
The awards are bestowed in three different ship categories, based on passenger capacity. Large ships carry 2,000 or more passengers. Mid-size ships carry 1,200 to 1,999 passengers. Small ships carry less than 1200. Awards are calculated using Cruise Critic member ratings.

text: IMO when it comes to skating skills, Yuna and Carolina are just right up there in the stratosphere. Deep edges and speed not lost while skating at all. And it almost seems like they both have no fear of jumps, they're just throwing themselves! What they differ from each other IMO has mainly something to do with choreography and emoting. Carolina has a FABULOUS Bolero LP with intricate choreo, and Yuna has a BEAUTIFUL LP with very much emoting throughout. If you think about it, programs like Bolero wouldn't fit Yuna as well as Caro and vice versa for programs like Les Miserables. They're exquisite in their own style. With Caro putting her technical merit back together, I think it'll be between these two for Sochi OGM. I'm really excited to see these two bring wonderful performances at Worlds, REALLY.

The Chinese currency Renminbi, or the yuan, rose to a new high against the U.S. dollar on Friday. It strengthened by 72 basis points to stand at 6.2937 against the U.S. dollar on Friday, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trading System. It is the first time that the yuan broke the 6.3 mark since China\'s central bank announced on June 19, 2010 that it would further the reform of the formation mechanism of the yuan exchange rate to improve its flexibility. The yuan appreciated by 7.82 percent during the period. The previous record was set on Jan. 4 when the yuan stood at 6.3001 against the dollar. In China\'s foreign exchange spot market, the yuan is allowed to rise or fall by 0.5 percent from the central parity rate each trading day. The central parity rate of the yuan against the U.S. dollar is based on a weighted average of prices before the opening of the market each business day.

Another way of saying "I'm sorry". But only when you fuck up beyond belief and want with everything in you for the person to forgive you. Even though you really deserve for them to leave you alone forever. Commonly said in an over cutitans voice to get across that you really are sorry and love that person.

It works for Me
By Old Masi Man

About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
Comments about Clif Bar Clif Shot Energy Gel - 24 Pack:
I do Twenty to thirty mile road rides and the Cliff Shots are just what I need to refuel at the 10 , 20 and 30 mile marks. They are so convenient to carry and open for use; I have no suggestions for improvement. I use them with plenty of water; my rides so so much better when I do not bonk. This is anti-bonking solution number one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Actually taste good
By Smotri
from New York, New York
Tastes good and does the trick.
By Mister Bicycle
from Minneapolis, MN
Good quick energy! I carry three or four in my bento box. Best when thawed. :)
Works for me
Double Espresso Shots are light weight, restorative while on a long pull or break. Not a substitute for real food, just a great supplement when out on the road and you need to maintain your energy level and support your body's effort. I love the taste; I notice I drink more water when I use this product...always a good thing.
Very useful on the long haul.
By TwoWhls
from North Eastern Ohio
Purchased a few weeks prior to a 12 hour endurance race. We found that the gel tasted fine and set well on an empty stomach. During the 12 hour race, we ate one each 50 miles, along with some other solid foods, and finished strongly. The caffeine helps lots!
really good product

Clif Shot Mocha Gel
By Alan
from Kentucky
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Mighty tasty, but messy and sticky when using on the go. Clif Shot should not have discontinued the tubes with a cap. I have to put the gel in my "gel flask" when I'm taking it with me when I'm riding.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Happy with purchase

Good product, performs well because it digests quickly and replenishes much of what you work off as you work out!

Hello -- I'm in the mtns in Jackson, Wyoming, and started with a single hive in early May. Spring was extremely wet and cool, ending with 'real' summer on 6/21 or 22, not that long ago.
This hive swarmed one week ago, but I managed to catch the swarm and hive them in a super I had already prepared.
Things seemed to be going pretty well with both hives, and I was thinking of a day this week to inspect both.
This morning the old hive swarmed again! I'm not prepared to make another capture, but I followed the swarm to their first resting spot. They've formed three distinct cones around the trunk of a small spruce, each separated from the other by several inches.
I'm not sure what to think, or do, now... I actually am not prepared for three hives so I'm letting the swarm roam, but I was caught off guard by the quick re-swarming, for one. The three separate swarm bodies are kind of curious, also.
Just another day in the life of the bee, I guess, but it's made for an interesting week.

Where I stayed
Off we went to Hershey Park…not before stopping at Giant food store to buy our discount tickets…because we're cheap that way.
Several weeks before, while thinking ahead on our trip I wanted to pre-purchase tickets off the Internet…at full price of $52.95 per adult and $31.95 per child (as for the other ... he's not three yet).
What stopped me…the ridiculous $5 "convenience fee".
My understanding is that I make things convenient for them…so I have to pay.
Plus...I hate fees...I fight them off whenever I can...I even have my own line to the cable and phone companies....
So, I voted with my wallet and didn't pre-purchase the tickets.
Why am I telling all this?
$52.95+$52.95+$31.95 $5 = $142.85
Tickets at Giant which were discounted from…TWENTY FIVE BUCKS were $21.50 and one child for $14.00.
A significant saving for me and a significant loss due to "greed factor".
If everything I heard about Mr. Hershey is true, I'm sure he is spinning in his grave at this outrageous con.
But I digress….since the kids wake up at 6 AM anyway, we were early enough to grab a prime parking spot as well as tour Chocolate World one more time.
Hershey Park was actually wonderful, since Isabella (I'm five-years-old) could go on the majority of the rides and Jakey (twoN-Aaaaa-half) could go on many.
Our goal has been reached mid-day, when we saw the Easter Bunny standing by…the kiddie rides…oh, the horror
We attacked swiftly and from all sides…but were delayed by the "balloon ride".
When we finished, we were told that the Easter Bunny mysteriously left.
Could it be a coincidence?
I think – not!
The rest of the day was spent going on rides, standing in line (it seemed someone at corporate underestimated the crowds), getting some lunch at one of the many eateries, touring the zoo and …standing in line.
As well as seeing humanity at its best and unfortunately…at its worst.
Tired and happy we stumbled out holding our souvenir picture (our big purchase of the trip) and a huge bag of kettle corn ready to embark on our congratulatory feast at Pavone's– around $80 for the four of us, including beer for mom and dad.

Streaming radio is generally 128kb for MP3 and 96kb (thereabouts) for AAC. It's very rare to find stations that broadcast at 160 or 192, let alone 320. You're just going to have to bring your CDs and FLACs to work.
Western Digital makes (not pocket sized) small 1T USB3 hard drives which you could fill up and leave at work. They're fantastic for throwing in your suitcase when you go to work on music at someone else's studio too.

- SQL Beginner said...
difference between truncate and delete is one of the most popular SQL interview question and has been asked many times to many people but more than that if you know real differences between delete and truncate you can avoid mistakes while dealing with large and sensitive data. mostly in report writing, database cleanup, correct use of truncate and delete is must.

Also In case you are looking for new topics to blog,request to take a look at the google java interview questions . Questions like how to find matching strings from 2 string arrays If each array has 1 million records etc

- Javin @ select query to get count said...
One of the important thing to note while using truncate is that it will reset your Identity column if you have any.
- June 6, 2012 at 8:18 AM
- Vijay R said...
Hi Javin,
When you say truncate would reset the identity column, do you mean the foreign key which was referring to the table that was truncated? Could you explain this with examples.
- July 16, 2012 at 9:43 PM
- Anonymous said...
truncate reset identity column means, if you last id was 100, after truncate it will start again with 1.

using batch size we can delete rows from the table
- July 16, 2013 at 11:08 PM
- Anonymous said...
wrt the below asked question
5) How will you delete data if truncate is not supported and log segment is also not big enough to support complete delete?
would Drop and create be a better option ??????
- August 7, 2013 at 3:45 AM
- Javin @ Refrential integrity in database said...
@Anonymous, Yes, DROP is an alternative, if fits the criterion e.g. resetting of ID columns. When we DROP and recreate a table, ID column will restart from it's first value.

Sucks you didn't record this game of all games. It was thee one.
Maybe you can catch it on NFL Network game rewind.
welcome to the world of Cablevision - my cable provider - no NFL Network
and Verizon isn't in my specific area - just every area around me. My parents live 2 miles away and they have it.
Are u in fantasy hoops?
[/quote]I got cablevision too. Check MSG on wends, Bob Poppa and Carl Banks do the Giants rewind. Its not the whole game, but it helps with the mid-week football itch. MSG is SICK with Giants coverage, they have the coaches talking to the media on wends along with Giants rewind. On Sunday they have Giants Opening Drive Live, Giants Access Blue, and NY Giants Chronicles, all phenomenonal programming. I dvr it all and watch what I can before kickoff on Sunday
Fantasy hoops!?!?!? I thought I was crazy for Fantasy Hockey this season and Fantasy Baseball last year
im thinking ahead... something to keep me occupied during those cold days post NFL playoffs.
and i'd rather play fantasy soccer than hockey, hahahahaha

Let's face it, data centers are changing thanks primarily to the advent of the cloud data center—led by large cloud service providers like Google, Amazon, Facebook, OVH and Baidu. Many of these providers utilize traditional solutions from the large OEMs, but are increasingly moving to lower-cost, more-optimized open architectures that are driven by software. Designing in-house software or leveraging open source communities has enabled cloud providers to do more with less. In fact, the data center has become a software-led infrastructure influencing the cloud storage market at large.
Data centers are the profit engines for cloud service providers. To lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase agility, they increasingly demand:
This change is being led by Open Compute Project and OpenStack among others.
Open Compute Project (OCP) was an initiative announced in April 2011 by Facebook to openly share custom data center designs to improve efficiency across the industry. The OCP initiative includes low-cost, minimalist design tracks for:
OpenStack is an IaaS cloud computing project started by Rackspace and NASA in 2010.Currently more than 150 companies have joined, including AMD, Intel, Canonical, SUSE Linux, RedHat, Cisco, Yahoo!, Dell, HP and IBM. It is free open source software released under the terms of the Apache License.
Before the advent of open hardware and software communities, innovation and advancement of cloud technology was siloed. Technology companies would develop proprietary new hardware and software solutions on their own or with limited partners. In an open source community, collaboration happens across companies and includes customers. This cross-functional collaboration enables greater innovation and advancement across compute, storage and network architectures. Even better, the collaboration is focused on a single goal or priority: lowering data center total cost of ownership.
Through direct engagement with customers and open source communities, Seagate is better positioned to develop products that embrace changes in cloud architectures and set new standards for lower TCO and higher productivity. Seagate is focused on developing better ways to take advantage of the intrinsic capabilities of the storage device while leveraging our system design and engineering capabilities.
Solutions the technology industry will bring to market must be a collaborative effort among suppliers, partners and end-customers. Seagate expects to be a key contributor to such open innovation.
Seagate is helping the world's biggest game changers solve their toughest business and technical challenges through data storage innovation.

Coordinating Board approves master's, doctorate in physics
(April 27, 2005)--The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved plans for a partnership between UTSA and the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) that will offer the region's first master's and doctoral degree programs in physics.
"These degree programs are crucial in our mission to become a premier research university and attract additional research funding to support our faculty and students," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo.

The partnership, the first of its kind in Texas, is expected to serve as a model for similar collaborations at other UT System campuses and prepare graduates to make significant contributions to the evolution of space science and technologies, biophysics and cosmology.
"I think the collaboration of these two great institutions will provide for a very strong graduate program in physics for UTSA," said SwRI President J. Dan Bates.
SwRI is a leading, independent, nonprofit applied research and development organization specializing in the creation and transfer of technology in the physical sciences and engineering. Since 1977, SwRI has played a key role in NASA space physics and planetary missions with expertise in planetary and space science, instrument design and fabrication, and data system development. With a staff of 2,900, SwRI scientists have conducted more than $399 million in research.
"This will be the place for students who really want to be involved in spacecraft instrumentation, and it offers new opportunities for South Texas Hispanic and minority students," said David J. McComas, senior executive director of the SwRI Space Science and Engineering Division.
Under the agreement, eight scientists from the SwRI Space Science and Engineering Division will serve as "adjoint" professors for the UTSA Department of Physics and Astronomy when the program begins fall 2005.
The scientists will develop and teach advanced graduate courses and supervise graduate students while remaining full-time SwRI employees. UTSA graduate students also will conduct research in SwRI laboratories.
"The establishment of the physics Ph.D. at UTSA is a watershed event which puts in place the last pillar for providing the full spectrum of science and engineering education and research at UTSA," said Patrick Nash, UTSA Department of Physics and Astronomy chair.
The program will include a 30 credit hour master of science degree as well as a doctoral degree with 45 credit hours of course work and 36 credit hours of research culminating in a dissertation.
UTSA now has 13 doctoral degree programs in neurobiology, computer science, educational leadership, culture, literacy and language, electrical engineering, business administration, English, biomedical engineering, cell and molecular biology, environmental science and engineering, counselor education and supervision, chemistry and physics.

Occupational therapy students compete in the first "Cross Town Splint-Off" with the College of Mount St. Joseph
Students must create an architectural structure from splint material and show school spirit as well | February 9, 2012
Occupational therapy students from Xavier and physical therapy students from the College of Mount St. Joseph are competing to see who can make the best splints—and show the most school spirit in the process.
The first "Cross Town Splint-Off" takes place on Monday, Feb. 13, at St. Elizabeth Healthcare's Hand Therapy Center in Edgewood, Ky. The event is sponsored by St. Elizabeth Healthcare and Patterson Medical.
The three to four-member teams that vie in the Splint-Off will build an architectural structure from splint material—with a school-spirit twist. Each project must include three different splint materials—Polyform™, Ezeform™ and Aquaplast™—and no more than four non-splint components. Projects must demonstrate the draping, molding and bonding ability of the materials, include a cylinder or curved structure, contain some square edges and also represent the school.
"Many of these students have no idea how to use splinting materials when they start helping patients," said Meg Robinson, St. Elizabeth occupational therapist and certified hand therapist. "This contest will give them a chance to feel comfortable with the material before having to put it on a person."
Occupational therapists use activity to help patients regain motor skills after injury or illness, such as helping them to dress, eat or cook. Recovery often includes splinting.
"It's tricky to use thermoplastic because it hardens quickly. You have to form shapes during the three to five minutes that the material is flexible. You wait too long and you have to reheat or the splint might not fit," said Robinson, who noticed students struggling to shape splints during her lecture classes at Xavier. "We want therapy students to feel more comfortable with splinting, learn the basic qualities of various splint materials and most of all not be so nervous."
The structures will be judged on uniqueness and originality, aesthetic and professional quality smoothness, neatness, craftsmanship, materials selection, complexity and intricacy.
The teams will present their creations to eight judges from noon to 1:00 p.m. Judges will include two from each school, two from St. Elizabeth Hand Therapy and two guest judges. Students will present and explain their creations to the judges. Sponsors expect up to 13 teams to take part in the contest, and they hope this year's champion will return to defend the title in 2013.
Xavier's graduate program in occupational therapy includes classroom and fieldwork experience, as does Mount St. Joseph's physical therapy program. Most graduates are likely to land a job after graduation. Xavier's employment rate for its occupational therapy graduates is 100 percent. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the demand for both occupational and physical therapists could grow by as much as 26-30 percent from 2008 to 2018.

Phase 2 of Project
On December 30, 2003, Calpine filed an Application for Certification for Phase 2 of the Los Esteros Critical Energy Facility. This new AFC (docket # 03-AFC-2) seeks a license (recertification for continued operation of the Los Esteros Critical Energy Facility (phase 1) and seeks a license for conversion of the facility to a combined-cycle operation (phase 2). See Los Esteros 2 information, documents and notices.
On August 6, 2001, Calpine c* Power filed an Application for Certification seeking approval from the Energy Commission to construct and operate the Los Esteros Critical Energy Facility (LECEF) powered with four General Electric LM6000 gas fired simple-cycle turbines and generating 180 megawatts (MW). The applicant plans to convert to combined cycle mode producing 260 MW at a later date. The project, owned and operated by c* Power, a subsidiary of the Calpine Corporation, will be located on 15 acres of a 55 acre tract, owned by the applicant, in north San Jose at 1515 Elviso-Milpitas Road within Santa Clara County. The site is bounded by State Route 237 on the south side, Zanker Road on the west, and Coyote Creek on the east. The project has two objectives: supplying a reliable source of critical power to the proposed US DataPort (USDP) facility scheduled to be built on the site adjacent to the LECEF; and provide electrical power to the grid in support of the State of California's electrical needs.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

Why the tea party lives on
Fault them if you will as primitivist monomaniacs. Question whether they are sincere enough to surrender their own Social Security and Medicare as well as everyone else's. But many tea party-affiliated members are true believers who have a long memory of Republican betrayal as well as enmity toward the Democrats. They know that despite the "Reagan revolution" three decades ago government has only grown bigger; that the various eruptions of conservative rebellion since the Reagan era, including the Gingrich-led takeover of the House in 1994, each amounted to little more than one step forward, two steps back. (Remember David Stockman and The "Triumph of Politics"?) They know that George W. Bush blew the budget out entirely, loading up the deficit with two wars, tax cuts and Medicare spending without paying for them. …
A 2006 study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louis showed only small growth from 1792 until World War II (with a spike during WWI), but then a relentless steady rise since a brief fall-off in war spending in the late 1940s. By 2004, the federal government was spending $7,100 per capita, nearly 55 times more than was spent per capita in the 1910s, the Fed said.
Sorry, but I think the drama is far from over. The rebellion against the size of government is a true populist movement, and it's not going away. The debt limit is still the biggest card the tea party has. They're going to use it.

New Workforce Demands Call for New Approaches to Worker Preparation
The need for a better and differently prepared U.S. workforce is indisputable. Today's global economy has created a high demand for intellectually strong workers, capable of solving complex problems and developing innovative services and products. From the 1983 call by the National Commission on Excellence in Education to increase graduation requirements 1 to the ambitious new vision of the New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce, 2 numerous reports have documented the significant changes in the world economy wrought by globalization and automation and the growing demand on Americans to master advanced skills, from mathematics to problem solving, and to work more creatively.
Some have started referring to the early 21st century as the conceptual era in which prosperity and well-being are defined less by traditional measures, such as the ability to perform well in low-skill manufacturing roles, and more by the intellectual capacity and ingenuity required to compete in a rapidly expanding global marketplace. 3 Former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan touched on changing work demands when he observed in a 2005 speech, "Work is becoming less physically strenuous and more demanding intellectually, continuing a century-long trend toward a more conceptual and a less physical economic output." 4 The National Association of Manufacturers made the point more directly in its annual Labor day report for 2005, The Looming Workforce Crisis: Preparing American Workers for 21st Century Competition, which refers to a "widening skills gap" in the context of a U.S. department of Labor projection that 85 percent of future jobs will require, minimally, a two- or four-year college degree. 5
In its compelling 2006 report, Tough Choices or Tough Times, the New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce documents a competitive and decentralized global economy in which even highly skilled workers are in danger of losing their jobs to overseas competitors who can work from afar for a much lower wage, as when an Indian engineer accustomed to earning $7,500 a year vies for work against an American engineer earning $45,000 a year.
This is a world, the commission argues, "in which comfort with ideas and abstractions is the passport to a good job, in which creativity and innovation are the key to the good life, in which high levels of education—a very different kind of education than most of us have had— are going to be the only security there is." 6
Also of growing importance in this changing world is fluency in a foreign language. The National Security Language Initiative, launched in January 2006, was conceived to strengthen U.S. competitiveness and national security by increasing the number of Americans learning foreign languages, especially those deemed to be of strategic importance. Among the languages considered by the U.S. Department of State to be most critical are Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Farsi, Korean, and Chinese, 7 none of which have been widely available in U.S. K–12 schools. In its 2006 report, Answering the Challenge of a Changing World: Strengthening Education for the 21st Century, the U.S. Department of Education captures the concern that other developed countries whose students learn multiple languages will gain an edge over a primarily monolingual U.S. It notes, for example, that while more than 200 million Chinese students study English, in comparison, only about 24,000 American elementary and secondary school students study Chinese. 8

and we may be in a situation where we can get cruz at a discount based on negotiating with him now. put him off for a year and subject him to potentially getting injured and reducing his market value significantly, and the trade off is if we choose to go with cruz we may have to pay alot more for him.
i'd definitely prefer a healthy nicks to cruz. few wouldn't. but that's not where we find ourselves right now.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
heres a question just for the sake of debate, but it is relevant: suppose we kept nicks and let cruz go in some alternate dimension. could nicks be a slot threat the way cruz is, not in how they accomplish the end result, but in the success of the end result? in less complicated words, can nicks achieve a level of success comparable to the level of success Cruz has had from the slot, even if its through different ways? IE, using Nicks like NO uses Colston...
I only ask bc the one thing that could falsely elevate Cruz's worth is the play from the slot. Hes amazing, maybe the best at it. But a big part of that is the scheme. He's an amazing wr i hate coming from a position of letting him walk bc it feels like im slighting him, im just trying to think about it from all angles
As with every season, you work on the player contracts you have to and take care of next season, next season.

Suzanne Goldenberg of the British Guardian spent the vice president debate night with a group of women in Florida. The topic of the notorious Palin wink repeatedly became a topic of conversation among the women. A few thought it effective as pointed out by Prisclla Glascock who said "I think women can relate with being in a situation where it's very serious, you kind of have to step back and add that humor, whether it's a wink or a shrug." However, the majority of women appeared to share the feelings of host, Kit Pepper, who said, "the fact that this woman as a vice presidential candidate stood on national TV and winked at me completely insults me." Some of the Democrats at the session enjoyed when Palin got feisty but it did not change their vote.
Lydia Gardner, a Republican local government official, commented: "I can't imagine myself doing that wink" which she interpreted to be the behavior of something who lacks a sophisticated grasp of the world. Other Republican women "could not help disassociating themselves from Palin– even while praising her skill at using winks and a folksy turn of phrase to connect with middle America."
Most of the women agreed Palin had done OK, but they were concerned that Palin recited caned lines. Republican Lisa Romine sighed and noted, "If I hear her say the word 'maverick" one more time I am going to shoot somebody and I am a Republican."

ICE Facility Gets Preliminary OK in Santa Maria
Hundreds Oppose, But Planning Commission Approves 3-1
SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Santa Maria city planning leaders approved a controversial Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE facility in a 3-1 vote Wednesday night.
A private developer won a federal contract to build a new ICE building near the corner of Oakley Avenue and McCoy Lane on the south side of the city.
The proposed 12,000 square foot ICE facility would include staff offices and at least three temporary detention cells.
The project requires a re-zoning of the nearly one acre property from industrial or light industrial to office construction.
Currently ICE operates out of a facility on the campus of the Lompoc Federal Prison.
Opponents of the project include immigration reform advocates who worry about random immigration sweeps on undocumented field workers and others concerned about a law enforcement detention center near residential areas.
"This is not a place or a neighborhood for a law enforcement center", says former Santa Maria city councilwoman and local Latino activist Hilda Zacarias. "That needs to be connected just as it is now to a penitentiary in Lompoc or to the new Sheriff Substation, some other area, not in our neighborhoods."
The issue became so big in the community that the City of Santa Maria took the unusual step of moving Wednesday's Planning Commission meeting to the Santa Maria Fairpark.
"We had over a thousand people at the City Council a couple of weeks ago", said Larry Appel of the Santa Maria City Planning and Development. "We wanted to make sure we had room for everybody to come in and sit down because they were in the hallways, and outside and so by going to the Fairpark we were able to use the large Convention Center and they will have set up 1100 seats for us so we're hoping to accommodate the people that are wanting to be there."
The project's approval by the Planning Commission can still be appealed to the Santa Maria City Council.

Authorities: Neighbor claims battery by Bieber
FILE – This March 22, 2013 file photo shows Canadian singer Justin Bieber performing on stage in Zurich, Switzerland. Bieber's neighbor in Southern California has accused the pop singer of battery and making threats during an argument. (AP Photo/Keystone,Walter Bieri, file)
CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) — Deputies were investigating claims made Tuesday by a neighbor that Justin Bieber attacked and threatened him during an argument in suburban Los Angeles, authorities said.
No one was arrested and few details were immediately available.
A representative of Bieber, Melissa Victor, did [auth] not immediately return a request for comment.
Online schedules indicate the "Baby" singer is in the midst of a European tour and performed a show in Poland on Monday night.
Authorities were called to the Calabasas scene just after 9 a.m., said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
"There have been allegations made against Mr. Bieber of battery and making threats," Whitmore said.
It's unclear who called authorities, and whether there might have been previous problems between the 19-year-old singer and neighbors, Whitmore said.
In recent years, the Canadian singer has been constantly chased by paparazzi while publicly morphing from an almost angelic mop-topped teen to an adult battling a bad boy image.
Recently, Bieber lashed out at paparazzi and lunged at one photographer as members of the singer's entourage held him back.
Last summer, he got a speeding ticket while trying to avoid a bevy of photographers on a Los Angeles freeway in his distinctive chrome Fisker Karma.
He collapsed backstage during a recent London concert and canceled a performance in Portugal.
Prosecutors decided against filing charges after the pop star was accused of kicking and punching a photographer outside a Calabasas movie theater in May 2012.
Earlier this year, an ex-bodyguard sued Bieber for alleged assault and more than $420,000 in unpaid wages. Moshe Benabou claims Bieber repeatedly punched him in the chest after an argument over the singer's entourage.
Lately, the slim singer has taken to whipping off his shirt in public places.
The investigation was first reported by TMZ.com.

I just finished my first 'do it yourself' woodenware[actually second]. I designed a SSB/Varroa Trap from images from the web and blogs. No ledges under the screen, straight drop from the hive walls to the ground. Sliding tray for inspections....out the back! My hive stand was the first project and it worked out nicely, I think.
I'll try to get some images posted to share.
I'm desperately hustling to get my beeyard in order; only two hives, but they're in my backyard and I'm trying to make them as 'pleasing' to the eye as functional.
