Where New Hampshire Sets the Perfect Mood
Cranmore Inn • North Conway, NH
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Superior Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($209) or Fridays and Saturdays ($219)
- Daily Country Breakfast
- Bottle of Champagne
- Nightly Turndown Service
The Destination
With clean mountain air, poetic pines, and majestic rivers that thread the valley, the natural ambiance of New Hampshire's North Conway village is simply quixotic. A year-round resort area, this slice of the Mount Washington Valley offers a plethora of swoon-worthy sites—from skiing, hiking, and biking the dramatic mountain vistas to dining, shopping, and dancing in the idyllic downtown village. Easily accessible from Portland, Maine, Manchester, New Hampshire, and Boston, Massachusetts, this whimsical New England is just waiting to be discovered.
The Digs
In the heart of these pastoral pleasures stands the Cranmore Inn, a historic downtown mansion hosting lovers and adventurers for centuries. Cozy country décor and traditional New England charm define each uniquely appointed guest room, where guests can linger on Victorian four-poster beds and dream under beautifully carved crown moldings. In the morning, you'll be greeted by a delicious homemade breakfast in the picturesque parlor, while at night, a complimentary turndown service and a dip in the outdoor hot tub sets a starry scene for savoring the moment—or stealing a kiss.
The Diversions
• Experience one of the planet's most extreme elements at the Mount Washington Observatory summit
• Take an outdoor rock-climbing or skiing class at Eastern Mountain Sports
• Ski Cranmore Mountain Resort, just a half-mile away, or Black Mountain, only ten miles from the inn
• Sample the snacks at Horsefeathers
• Shop 'til you drop at Settler's Green Outlet Village
"We certainly could not have chosen a better place to stay! The historic inn was beautiful with period details and was very warm and inviting. Our rooms were spacious and very clean. In the evening they put out coffee, a freshly baked snack, and... wine."-- TripAdvisor

A great opportunity to pay it forward
You may have heard about Lakes Area Restorative Justice Project (LARJP) and how it is working in our community.
You may already know that LARJP is in its eighth year of serving our community and during that time we have served 634 juveniles and their pending court cases and we have served 638 victims of crime.
And you may already know that in serving those juveniles LARJP helped save our community a substantial amount of court-related costs.
But when you think about restorative justice do you ever wonder what exactly does that mean? Is retribution and restoration the same thing or are they different?
As a crime victim myself and as a family member of an offender I have often wondered what the difference is between restorative justice and retribution. Being a volunteer with LARJP has helped put that question into perspective for me.
Most cultures of the world and the Bible look at retribution as meaning a "life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" aspect of punishment, or "let the punishment fit the crime" type of principle.
When an offender breaks the law, justice requires that he or she forfeit something of equal value so the level of punishment must be scaled to the level of the offense.
It has been said that retributive justice is in this way backward — looking like the punishment is a response to a past event of wrongdoing. It's meant to reinforce rules that have been broken and balance the scales of justice.
Using a restorative justice approach provides a much more satisfying, comprehensive and effective understanding of the nature of wrongdoing and how to respond to it.
Because LARJP works mainly with juvenile offenders, we focus on a more forward-thinking method of repairing harm caused to a victim. We allow the offender to meet the victim if both parties agree and work out an agreeable solution that the offender is physically, mentally and/or financially capable of performing to repair the harm he or she has done to the victim and/or community.
In using this method of justice I believe we are able to preserve our communities' values and resources by allowing juvenile offenders the chance to become better people and grow to be an asset, not only to their families but to the future of their community.
It teaches us, as community members and victims, that forgiveness is a large part of the restorative process when a juvenile offender isn't capable of offering an "eye for eye" type of justice but is willing to do what he or she can to repair the harm he or she has caused.
This is what LARJP provides for our community:
• Holds youth accountable while they repair the harm caused to the victims, families and the community. When these teens complete the program successfully, they learn a valuable lesson.
• Give you, the victim or acquaintance the opportunity to get the answers you need when you are the target of a crime.
• Invite participants to be part of the healing process, where the group determines the restitution for the poor choice that was made by the youth(s).
• Inform the referring organization and the victim(s) when the agreed upon restitution has been completed, bringing closure to the case and allowing the youth to accept accountability for their actions.
This is why I volunteer for such a worthy cause and why I'm reaching out to you to join in the efforts of LARJP. Seeing the gratitude of the offenders, their parents and the victims when a case has been settled and all parties are satisfied with the end result is well worth the small amount of effort on our part to help make that happen.
Here's how you can become involved, too. Our next training begins Friday, April 26. It's free and no experience is necessary, and it doesn't require a huge time commitment — just a willingness to help your community.
Contact us at us at 218-454-4145 or email@example.com. Visit our website at www.lakesarearestorativejustice.org and like us on Facebook to learn more.

It appears that much of the design language from the Silverado 1500 will migrate into the HD's styling, but a new grille treatment is clearly in the works. It also appears that the Silverado HD will gain the impression of greater brawn by ditching the 1500's split center bar in favor of a thicker, solid chrome bar. The result is greater visual weight and a beefier countenance. Slim horizontal slats (two above and three below) sandwich the thick horizontal grille bar, adding some further substance to the Silverado HD's grille treatment.

It was notorious for abusive treatment of prisoners, many mentally ill. The long terms of solitary, often for discipline, damaged inmates' minds, and "cell extractions" of disobedient inmates by guards damaged their bodies.
But now, on a recent day, only 34 prisoners were in solitary, about 30 percent the number often in isolation before Ponte took over — and most are there for brief stays. Cell extractions have dropped to almost none.
In the supermax's 32-bed Mental Health Unit, Ponte has ended solitary confinement (half its inmates were frequently kept in solitary). He is instituting more humane discipline throughout the Warren prison and the state's other correctional facilities.
Future reforms, Ponte says, include "more effective interaction at the street level" with offenders on probation to keep more out of prison. Half the inmates in prison are there because of probation revocations.
Ponte also has made the prisons more transparent. He appointed prisoner-rights advocates to a department committee designing the reforms and recently gave some of them a lengthy tour of the state prison, including the supermax. They met with dozens of inmates and staff.
The tour "lifted away more shadows that have covered dysfunctional practices at the prison for decades," says Judy Garvey of the Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition.
Garvey cautions, however, that "inmates, staff, and advocates agree it's too early to weigh the results of change, and that tensions can be high as new policies are implemented." Still, she's hopeful Maine will become "a model for treatment of prisoners for the rest of the country."
YOU'VE MADE BIG CHANGES — ESPECIALLY IN THE SPECIAL MANAGEMENT UNIT AND THE MAINE STATE PRISON AS A WHOLE. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU WANTED TO DO BEFORE YOU CAME TO MAINE? No. It was waiting for me when I arrived. There had been threats of lawsuits by the ACLU. A substantial committee had been put together that had worked for a good amount of time to develop what the concerns were. So I put a group together — led by Rod Bouffard from the Long Creek youth facility — to make the changes. And you're right, there have been substantial changes. It is a big deal. It's a lot for a staff to adjust to. It's a whole different way of doing business.
I get asked the question: Do you get a lot of staff resistance? Well, we had trained staff for many, many years to do business a certain way, and now we're telling them here's another way of doing business. It took a good deal of leadership by Warden [Patricia] Barnhart and Charlie Charlton, the SMU unit manager, to convince staff there is another way, and try this, and it's worked.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S WORKED? We have 60 beds that have been closed for three or four months. We're utilizing about 40-something beds on any given day. So inmates that were typically locked up in segregation are now being managed in general population. Segregation tends not to fix the problem that the inmate needs to address.

Re Chen, I think he is a huge talent and a joy to watch, but backloaded programs are no better IMO than front-loaded ones. Programs should be balanced. Maybe the ISU needs to figure out a better way to encourage element distribution rather than the stacking of second half jump elements.
I thought the backloading was interesting from a strategic standpoint. Also impressive he could pull it off at altitude (which I believe Mexico City is at). But from a balanced program standpoint, I definitely lost my awareness that this was a competitive program that was being structured like an "exercise" - partly because of the back end loading. Like watching a series of vaults in gymnastics.
Nathan's home town is Salt Lake City and he trains at Lake Arrowhead. That's why the Mexico City altitude didn't affect him.

I dont care if I saw her at the mall selling yogurt…shes harsh and ugly looking…often models are chosen for their stick straight thin bodies and dance the line of ugly/pretty face wise, as 'unusual and extreme featured' is sometimes a chic thing by trend. I hope shes a nice person….for Harry's sake. Not hating at all, > its just literally my opinion, …and …as many years in the music and fashion industries, I'm being honest and from experience. To each his own.

I have heard of using freeze plugs but has anyone ever tried using valve spring caps? I found some that looked like they would make great M baffles if you put spacers between them. Heres a link to the caps.

Kinda pricey. Another option is the spring seat washers inside a Bendix air governor for the air compressor on a semi truck air brake system. I used to replace 2-3 a month, ask your local big rig garages to save them for you, most disassemble them and toss the main casting into the Al recycle bin. IIRC they would make great 9mm baffles.
Freeze plugs work well (9mm), inexpensive and last.
yeah i'll probably go the freeze plug rout if i decide to build a suppressor for my uzi. mija do you have experience building suppressors? i dont wanna waste $200 and 3 months to build something that doesnt work well.
Heck, spring caps are a great idea!
Your local engine shop or scrapyard might sell you some for cheap. Or rebuilder-grade stuff from Pioneer is cheap enough for brand-new.
Freeze caps are basically the same design used in the Parker-hale MM1. Another design commonly used in the UK is a one piece machined insert, which is simple to make on a lathe but would be equally easy to make from washers and a tube insert (obviously with holes drilled in to the pipe between the washer baffles), held with either braze or solder depending on materials used. Threaded on both ends and inserted in to an outer tube casing.
Not sure if that makes any sense at all to you, it does to me :loopeye:
Sort of like this, where the centre of the moderator is machines from one piece of aluminium bar. I guess it would be hard but possible with simple hand tools.
And this is a Parker Hale MM1 on my CZ .22lr
Many years ago we used to be able to buy plastic silencers or sound moderators as we call them. Again same principle as above but in ABS plastic.
We also used to use PVC plumbing pipes and connectors to make .410 moderators, but these are commonly available over here now so there isn't much of a need and if I'm to be honest when we get our 5 year inspections a .410 moderated shotgun, is kind of saying "poaching" or at least that was the remark said on my last inspection.
damn im jealous of yall in the uk. you might not have the best gun laws but when it comes to suppressors yall got it right

By Rob Kelly
Bacary Sagna says the north London derby is Arsenal's "game of the season" - and he believes the team can take confidence from February's 5-2 victory.
Much like the corresponding fixture last term, the Gunners head into Saturday's match against Tottenham on a mixed run of results.
But Sagna says the players are fully aware of the importance of the game and can be inspired by their comeback against their rivals last time out.
"This is the game of our season because it's a derby," Sagna told Arsenal Player. "I think we're going to have a big atmosphere so everybody is looking forward to it.
"It's just massive. You can feel the pressure around the stadium. You can feel the pressure on the pitch. We can't lose that game.
"It was like hell [in last season's derby]. We were 2-0 down after 25 minutes and I started thinking, 'No, this is impossible. We can't lose this game' and the atmosphere was going down as well. We could feel everyone was upset.
"But they [the fans] kept pushing. That helped a lot. When we scored the first goal, the stadium became magic and everyone pushed us even more. Suddenly we scored the second goal and it was like a movie."
It was Sagna who scored the crucial goal to halve Arsenal's deficit in that game, and he was delighted to make such a positive contribution.
"The best way to score goals is to bring many people into the box," he said. "When I saw the ball going out on to the left side, I started thinking 'OK, try to bring danger' and the ball came back to me and I scored. It was magic.
"The only problem was I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the goal, to celebrate. We were losing and I just wanted to come back.
"When you're 2-0 down and you score five goals in 60 minutes, you can only think about how good you are and how positive you have to be.
"[Tottenham] will have learnt from that and we have learnt from it as well. We want to take control and the best way to do it is to stay focused from the first minute.
"It changed our season because we got even more confident. From that time, we started winning games and came back."

Prineville Hospital Foundation buys new beds
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - Caregivers at Pioneer Memorial Hospital were beaming with excitement this week, as they watched 13 brand new hospital beds being assembled in the hallway!
The 2012 goal for the Prineville Hospital Foundation was to purchase the new in-patient beds costing $115,000 to replace beds that were over 17 years old and functionally obsolete.
Daleena Green, Prineville Hospital Foundation Director said, "Thanks to the generosity of our donors we were able to reach our goal and purchase the beds, which are a huge upgrade for our hospital."
The new beds will not only provide more comfort but also come equipped with all the bells and whistles such as:
• The ability to weigh patients without having to get them out of bed
• Safety alarms that will alert caregivers to the potential dangers of patients getting out of bed unassisted
• Digital displays and night lights
• Hardware that provides a means for the patients to boost themselves into bed
• New mattresses that will provide comfort "without all the lumps."
One of the beds purchased is a bariatric bed specifically designed for obese patients. Did you know that 30% of people in the United States are considered obese? In the past, patients who could benefit from a bariatric bed at Pioneer Memorial Hospital were not always accommodated because the hospital did not have a bariatric bed on site.
This equipment had to be rented on an as needed basis. With the purchase of the new bariatric bed these patients will have an appropriate size bed available immediately.
"What a gift for our community" declared Maggie, a registered nurse at Pioneer Memorial Hospital. "I recently had a patient in an old bed and the first comment from the patient was, 'This bed is so uncomfortable!'"
Susan Myers, Inpatient Manager at Pioneer Memorial Hospital stated, "Our patients receive the best care from our caregivers! It will be wonderful for the patients to also receive a comfortable bed during their stay."
Karen Reed, Chief Nursing Officer at Pioneer Memorial Hospital said, "When patients are ill or injured an inappropriate or inadequate bed can greatly increase the stress of hospitalization, with the new beds on site this is no longer a concern for our caregivers."
About Prineville Hospital Foundation
The Prineville Hospital Foundation has been in operation since 1981, achieving its mission to support our local Pioneer Memorial Hospital by providing a continuous source of funds for the purchase of new equipment and other capital needs.
The Prineville Hospital Foundation's Board of Directors are: Bobbi Brooks, President, Bill Gowen, Vice President, Laura Craska Cooper, Secretary-Treasurer, Jason Carr, Mark Copeland, Mary Thurman, Dr. Bruce Williams, and Darrel Wisseman.
To learn more about how you can support the Prineville Hospital Foundation in efforts to purchase new equipment for Pioneer Memorial Hospital, please contact Daleena Green, Executive Director at 541-447-2523 or visit www.PrinevilleHospitalFoundation.org

Bend has first licensed medical-pot dispensary
Others anxiously await state action on applications
BEND, Ore. - "I couldn't believe we were the first in Bend," Ben Hebert, owner of Dr Jolly's, said Monday. "That's a great feeling. That's a lot of hard work to get to this point."
Dr. Jolly's is not even open yet, but it already has reason to celebrate. It's the first medical marijuana dispensary in Central Oregon to get an official state license.
It is one out of only eight statewide licensed so far.
"It's a huge burden that has been lifted, getting the license. It was very uncertain, and we did it. We couldn't be more excited," Hebert said.
While one business owner is celebrating, 15 other dispensaries in Central Oregon are still anxiously awaiting their licenses.
"After everything we've invested in the business, our savings, we are very nervous," said Ron Koch, partner at Cannabend LLC. "Not only on the application process, but just where the industry stands today, with the laws federally vs. the state."
The Oregon Health Department is going through 50 applications a week. Every Friday, they are going to post a list with the recent approvals on their website http://www.oregon.gov/oha/mmj/Pages/index.aspx.
With almost 300 applications in hand, some dispensaries might have to wait until early May to find out if they can continue with their business plan.
The plethora of restrictions has those waiting still nervous.
"They have a lot of measures in place for security, and we're fully compliant. At this point, we're just waiting and hoping that we do get approved, so it wasn't all in vain," said Koch.
One of the biggest factors is location. Dispensaries are not allowed within 1,000 feet of another dispensary. Licenses are handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Reason enough for Dr. Jolly's to wait with their renovations until now.
"The main reason is if we didn't get the license and somebody else did, we could lose all of our investment," Hebert said.

Wow! What amazing light! Beautiful pics, Jill!!ReplyDelete
Hi Jill. I've been perusing your blog for some time now, completely envious of your northern existence. I have a thing for snow (and photography) myself. These photos take my breath away. Absolutely stunning. I will look into ordering your book(s) to discover more about you. You're very inspiring! Slainte! (Nancy)ReplyDelete
I'm not very often at a loss for words (ask my wife,LOL!),but those pics leave me both speechless and breathless! AWESOME!!!ReplyDelete
I'm almost gasping for air at the dazzling beauty of those peaks and you on top of them!ReplyDelete
- nice skier9:55 PM
How far down the ridge did you get? I'm pretty familiar with it and was just curious as I was thinking how beautiful it would be up there just the other day. Also - please tell me you have spent some time learning about avalanche danger. We've lost too many good people in the mountains, especially those who go up alone in winter. Super nice photos! Thanks.ReplyDelete
The photos are exquisite. I choose one to grace my desktop on a regular basis, and today it was almost impossible to make the choice! For the record, I can't decide which I enjoy more: your writing or your photography!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous and triumphant!ReplyDelete

Cash for clunkers runs out of money … after one week; Update: Feds scramble to save program
posted at 9:56 pm on July 30, 2009 by Allahpundit
Unlike pretty much every other Hopenchange economic policy, not only did this one work, it worked better than expected. And yet, I can't help thinking there's a lesson in the fact that a centrally planned program budgeted to run through the end of October went bust in, er, seven days. That's some miscalculation — not unlike the miscalculation that promised unemployment no higher than eight percent once we pinched that $787 billion loaf known as the stimulus. And naturally, the program came buried in so much bureaucracy and paperwork that some dealers gave up on it despite the amazing business it drummed up.
Ah well. I'm sure none of that will happen with national health care.
The program — aimed at giving at boost to the U.S. auto industry — was supposed to expire at the end of October. But in the one week since it took effect, it appears to have run dry of the $1 billion allocated to it, aides said Thursday.
The White House will need to decide whether to push for more money at a time when it's also pushing an ambitious and expensive domestic agenda — or let the program fade after it was touted as a way to help Detroit while improving the environment.
One Michigan Republican, Congresswoman Candice Miller, has alreayd come out in favor of extending the program, saying in a statement that "There can be no doubt that the Cash for Clunkers program is a complete success given the fact that the entire $1 billion allocated to the program was expended in less than a week."
She called the program "simply the most stimulative $1 billion the federal government has spent during the entire economic downturn."
Imagine how stimulative it would be if it wasn't limited to fuel-efficient cars, per the left's green agenda, but to any current model. Actually, though, it really isn't limited: Via the boss, check out Cato's easy peasy scheme to turn C4C into free money which you can use to buy the clunker or muscle car of your dreams. If they end up extending the program, I'm totally getting that 'Vette I've always wanted. Thanks, Barry!
Update: Looks like I might be getting that 'Vette after all: "Although key members of Congress were notified by the Secretary of Transportation Thursday that the program would run out of money at midnight, sources said 'Administration and Congressional officials are working to keep it up and running.'"

Reviews for this host's other properties
We enjoyed our stay in cracow very much!! Th city ia really great and tanks to the apartement we could really enjoy it. The place was perfect for five people. Very big bathroom and it`s location is perfect. It is next to the big market place where all the sightseeing must sees are located! So we can really recommand this apartment!
A major deficiency was that we did not get the apartment we have booked over the Internet.
The replacement unit was indeed located sufficiently large and central.
Unfortunately, over a beer house where until well after noon eight loud live music was made so that only could sleep, who had the day completely exhausted.
Ein großer Mangel war, dass wir nicht die Wohnung bekommen haben, die wir über das Internet gebucht haben.
Die Ersatz -Wohnung war zwar ausreichend groß und zentral gelegen.
Leider gegenüber einem Bierhaus, wo bis weit nach mittagnacht laut Life Musik gemacht wurde, so dass nur schlafen könnte, wer sich tagsüber völlig verausgabt hatte.
Unfortunately I can not write anything to the apartment Cross II, as I will my visit to Krakow, lived in another street.
The assigned apartment was in a much busier street.
The view of the market place was very nice and the apartment itself spacious and clean.
As it was above a bar and the old buildings are not as good scarf isolated, we were able to realize raucous guests up early in the morning.
The chose of my aparment at the time is not available, that can nevertheless already specify when booking.
Leider kann ich zum Apartment Kreuz II nichts schreiben, da ich werden meines Besuches in Krakau, in einer anderen Strasse gewohnt habe.
Das zugewiesene Apartment war in einer wesentlich belebteren Strasse.
Der Ausblick auf den Marktplatz war sehr schön und das Apartment selber großzügig und sauber.
Da es über einer Bar lag und die alten Gebäude nicht so gut schalisoliert sind, konnten wir grölende Gäste bis morgens früh mitbekommen.
Das von mir erwählte Apartment stand zu dem Zeitpunkt nicht zu Verfügung, dass kann man doch schon bei der Buchung angeben.
Was very happy with our stay, the apartment was nice and clean, and very spacious. We were very happy with the location, although we did not stay at the location shown on the map or in the pictures (we were still in the old town).
Very nice apartment and well located.
Appartement très agréable et bien situé.
Marike and Nico - Holland
Fine appartment in one of the main streets of the centre. Good services from P&J appartments with the check-in and check-out.
large appartment with more than enough space
with a walk of less than 5 minutes you are at the central market (Rynek Glowny)
Not such a nice bed
Small windows, litte fresh air and a bit dark but you have many lights to turn on
No parking space, but you can park at the 24h parking from hotel Wyspianski (Street: Mikolaja Kopernika), 15euro for a day and 10 minutes walking to appartments Florianska.
The apartment was excellently located - just a few minutes walk from Market Square. The reception were very helpful and friendly. The facilities were good and it was very clean. I thoroughly recommend.
My only reservations were about things that were really beyond the control of these guys - it was unusually hot whilst I was in Krakow and the apartment was very stuffy (they had provided an electric fan) and there were building works outside which meant it was noisy early in the morning.
The apartment is in a very central and close to everything. Everything was very clean. The heating and hot water very well. We need a number of tools and quickly provided us. I recommend it.
El apartamento se encuentra en una situación muy centrica y cerca de todo. Estaba todo muy limpio. La calefacción y el agua caliente muy bien. Necesitamos una serie de utensilios y nos lo facilitaron rapidamente. Lo recomiendo.
Everything was good. Krakow is a very very nice place. The house is direct in the old town. It was clean and thanks alot for hosting house in Krakow. I and my husband know where we gonna stay if we again have the opportunity to visit Krakow again.
Very good and uncomplicated contact without complaint-thanks
Sehr guter und unkomplizierter Kontakt ohne Beanstandungen- vielen Dank

The Good & Badby Traveler - verified purchaser
I was impressed with how quickly I received the bags after ordering them. I'm also impressed with how large they are (ordered the XL), plenty of room for all my "stuff". They are very easy to install and adjust. On the down side, they certainly are not waterproof even with the rain covers. Also, I've had some slight warping of the internal frame of the bag that sits above my pipes. However, it's not so bad as I feel they need to be replaced. Overall, I like the bags and would recommend them!

Weather steps in to reinforce the importance of road repairs
Preventing flood on Highway 24
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - The flooding fears were never so vivid on Highway 24 until watching that car float down the road during the "event" we saw Wednesday afternoon. Luckily no one was hurt when the mud and water slide shut down a big chunk of 24. However, this big muddy problem could have been worse.
The Colorado Department of Transportation has been working since June 1st on culvert repairs and reconfiguration and rock mitigation from Ute Pass Elementary to the west on Highway 24 and east to Rainbow Falls in Manitou. This two million dollar project started June 1st and is expected to be finished by the end of Summer. Dave Watt is a CDOT Engineer who's been an integral part of making sure that the water that's flowing to Fountain Creek makes it to the creek and not on the roads, "The improvements we are doing are helping. We're in the middle of the project so we are vulnerable to the weather more so than when we complete the culvert repairs."
Watt acknowledges the worst of Wednesday's water and mud problems happened in the entrance of the Waldo Canyon.. This area and the work below Rainbow Falls in Manitou are priority jobs for CDOT, "We are a work in progress and it could have been worse."
Kenneth Quintana is a CDOT Highway Maintenance Supervisor. He was Johnny on the spot during Wednesday's crazy flooding event, "It's not the first time I've seen it. We've been dealing with it since last year." The Waldo Canyon wildfire changed the landscape around Highway 24 says Quintana, "This is going to be a problem for the next 10 years. We can limit the amount of damage we get in this area. but as far as preventing it, that won't happen."

We had a wonderful time staying in Nicolas Studio. The pictures are representative of the quality of the apartment, it's very clean and equipted with everything you need. This is a very good place to stay as a couple or friends. The apartment is also nicely located - just about one minute walk from the market square. The communication with Natasza worked very well and everything (getting the key etc.) was perfectly organized.
solo per la posizione meriterebbe 10 stelle, se poi aggiungiamo lo stile antico e caratteristico dell'appartamento, lo consiglio sicuramente. L'alloggio infatti è risultato perfetto per il ns soggiorno di 4 giorni, molto confortevole ed essenziale.
A pochi passi dal il cuore di questa bella città. Inoltre Natasza ci ha organizzato un taxi per accoglierci all'aeroporto e poi accompagnarci al suo appartamento, dove
c'era il figlio Mycolai, che gentilmente ci ha consegnato e dato le chiavi.
Grazie ci tornerei sicuramente.
Das Studio ist eine sehr schöne und individuelle Unterkunft für ein Paar. Hübsche Einrichtung, exakt wie auf den Fotos gezeigt, sehr gepflegt und sauber. Sehr zentral gelegen, an einer lebhaften Straße, ganz nah am Rynek, dem Mittelpunkt des Lebens in Krakau. Sämtliche interessanten Anlaufpunkte in der Innenstadt sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Der Kontakt und die Schlüsselübergabe waren top.
Wir würden wieder buchen!

Definitely the best choice!
The apartment was immaculate when we arrived. It is very beautiful and new, and has everything we need. It is five minutes from the Market Square and close to good cafes and restaurants. We also had a supermarket next door which made our stay very easy. We could not meet Natazsa but his son Jacek was a great host, who offered his help to solve any doubts. In short, it was a great experience that we will repeat if we return to Krakow!
Beautiful appartment nearbij the old city. We like the sepperat bathrooms ,in the morning we have enjoyed our breakfest into the sun on the balkony.
IT was a walk of 10 minuten to the jewesh area where we have a great time in the evenings. Many restaurants and cafés.You get no regrets for booking the appartment.We are telling it further to all our friends. Krakau is beautifull.
6 adults stayed in this lovely apartment, it was very clean and had everything that we needed.
The beds were very comfortable, & there are actually 2 bathroom not 1 as stated. 9 people would be a bit of a squeeze but 7 would be perfect.
An ideal location to both the Jewish quarters & the main square, plenty of restaurants nearby.
A bit noisy due to being on a main road, but if the windows are closed it is not a problem
Very cheap to eat in the area so no need to take loads of money.
I would highly recommend staying here, & wouldn't hesitate to go back.
We were really satisfied with the quality and the clearness of the apartment,which was absolutely not far from the centre of the city. In the apartment were lots of maps,information so it was good to help us navigate in the city.We can absolutely recommend for everybody.
Fam.Ács from Hungary
We stayed here for 3 days with our family of nine persons. The apartment was great and the location was perfect! We will recommend this apartment to our friends.
We had a very good time in Snow White! It´s perfectly situated: very close to the river - for everyone who likes to have a nice walk - in footwalk´s distance to the heart of Kasimierz, which gives you lots of opportunities for shopping, eating, drinking etc. and quite close to the city´s centre (15 to 20 minutes walk, 10 minutes by cablecar). The appartment is light, tidy and has everything it should have. Beds are very good (at least for two persons), kitchen well equipped, bath and shower and heating good. We didn´t meet the landlord, but he must be a very kind person. Everything was well prepared and she reacted immediately when we had to reorganize a certain issue. Big big recommendation. Anke and Uwe
This apartment was perfect for a few days in Krakow. It is well-connected to the main square, the train station, etc. by tram, and is within walking distance of just about anywhere you would want to go in Krakow (so long as you are okay walking 30 minutes or so). The apartment itself was bright and comfortable, with all the amenities you could need. I appreciated the free wifi, as well as the multiple electric heaters provided to chase out the September chill. I would definitely stay here again!

If you mean "What is the difference between svy: tabulate gender and

Soap films provide a simple method of obtaining analogue solutions to some mathematical problems
Cyril Isenberg
Editors' Note: This Classic article was first published in the September–October 1976 issue, and has been reprinted as part of American Scientist's centennial-year celebrations. The author based his article on a popular lecture-demonstration given during his visit to American universities. Dr. Isenberg, who remains at the University of Kent since the writing of this article, still gives his soap-film demonstrations about 50 times a year, to audiences that range from young people to members of learned societies. In 2008, Queen Elizabeth II made him a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his contributions to physics. Reprints of letters in response to the original printing of this article are available in the links section to the right. Other articles on soap films and mathematics have appeared in American Scientist in May–June 1986, September–October 1996 and March–April 2000. The latter, "Foams and Honeycombs," is also available in the links section.
The advent of digital computers in the 1950s and their rapid growth in the 1960s and 1970s has resulted in the neglect of analogue computers and analogue methods. Most analogue computers are designed to solve specific problems and are usually only capable of two-figure accuracy. Digital computers do not have these limitations, but analogue computers usually have one advantage: they provide a speedy visual solution to a problem. One of the simplest and most impressive analogue methods is based on a physical property of soap films, and in this article I will show how these methods can be used to solve mathematical minimization problems.
A well-known principle in thermodynamics states that, at constant temperature, the free energy of a system will be minimized when it is in thermodynamic equilibrium. The system may consist of a fluid, a solid, a gas, or combinations of different substances in these three phases. In a system consisting of a soap film, this free energy, F, is proportional to the area of the film, A. Thus F = σA, where σ is the surface tension and is constant at a fixed temperature. Consequently it is possible to obtain analogue solutions to mathematical problems that require the minimization of surface area.
Consider the simple problem of finding the minimum area contained by a circular ring: it is well known that the area is a circular disc contained by the ring. An analogue solution to this problem can be obtained by dipping a ring into a bath of soap solution; when the ring is withdrawn, a soap film surface will form bounded by the ring, and when it has come to thermodynamic equilibrium it will have the shape of the disc. In practice, thermodynamic equilibrium of the surface configuration is reached as soon as the film has come to rest, in only a few seconds.

Thousands of dollars found buried in ammunition tin on Far North farm.
A real estate agent is alleged to be the central link in a drug-dealing enterprise which supplied methamphetamine throughout the country.
Brett Campbell Bogue, 42, became the target of a covert investigation after his name came up in a separate inquiry into the sale of drugs in Napier called Operation Spark.
Police believed he was supplying the Class-A drug to a distribution chain in the Hawkes Bay region but a decision was made for the Organised and Financial Crime Agency New Zealand to start a second investigation into Bogue.
He and eight others were arrested this month in Operation Enzone, during which $100,000 was discovered buried in a paddock and millions of dollars of property was seized.
Bogue has no previous criminal convictions, drives a late-model Audi and collects Champagne.
He is listed as a real estate agent for Ray White in Orewa, Auckland, where his work profile states he is a keen sportsman, with previous experience as a builder and in the tourism industry.
But the police say he is now a major methamphetamine dealer who arranged deals in Whangarei, Auckland, Napier and Wellington.
Bogue faces serious charges including multiple counts of supply, offering to supply and conspiracy to supply methamphetamine.
A loaded pistol, $54,000 and nearly 240g of P were allegedly found in his home when police arrested him.
The police allege Bogue mostly supplied the drug in ounce amounts (28g) at a wholesale level, which in turn was sold to others by the gram or 0.1 gram amounts at street level.
The methamphetamine was allegedly manufactured by Frank William Murray, 45, at a farm in Herekino, in the Far North.
That was where $100,000 was buried in a rusty ammunition tin hidden in thick undergrowth.
Three properties worth about $2 million have been seized under the Criminal Proceeds Recovery Act, as well as quad bikes, diggers and tractors.
Meanwhile, police want to find Curtis Yates, 48, as part of their Operation Enzone investigation.
Yates is Maori, with a solid build and 1.83m tall. He is transient by nature but has contacts in Kaitaia, Whangarei, Taupo, and Wellington.
Yates is known to be unpredictable and should not be approached.
Call Detective Sergeant John Sowter on 027-494-3697 or Detective Nick Mayer on 027-555-0663.

Fish on! South Fork of the Snake River, Idaho
The South Fork of the Snake River flows out of Jackson Hole and Palisades Reservoir in eastern Idaho. It holds large numbers of rainbow, cutthroat and a few brown trout. Management efforts are focusing on removing the non-native rainbow and brown trout, with liberal catch limits for those introduced fish, whereas the cutthroat trout are a catch-and-release fishery.

Please don't try to tell me that the reason the Yankees have started treating ARod like a red headed step child is because he flirted with 2 women in the stands, because if that is the reason, they need to un retire Mickey Mantle's number and remove his plaque from monument park!
Mantle was the biggest cooze hound on the Yankees and they practically canonized the guy!
And don't tell me that it's because of his post season disappearing act because nobody on this team earned their money in the playoffs except Ibanez andIchiro.
At least Rodriguez has 09 to brag about because a lot of players past and present from 09 did nothing and without ARod, we don't get number 27!
The hypocrisy drives me nuts. The way they treated Rodriguez this post season was despicable and if he's really played his last game as a Yankee then I've watched my last game as a Yankee fan!!!
Girardi and his tiresome and totally ineffective over managing and ridiculous situational pitching changes are as responsible for this teams downfall as the lack of hitting was.
I think todays game was the perfect microcosm of Girardi's "strategy" being exposed as idiotic and counterproductive as the game got worse and worse with each pitching change.
So I bid a fond farewell to A-Rod and a giant GOOD RIDDANCE to idiot Girardi, the idiot twins Walman and Sterling, the blowhard Michael Kay and the poor man's George Steinbrenner ........Brian Cashman!

Jovan Belcher & Kasandra Perkins: Before The Tragic Shooting — Pics
Kasandra Michelle Perkins and Jovan Belcher appeared to be happy before their tragic deaths on Dec. 1. The Kansas City Chiefs player killed his girlfriend before committing suicide at the team's training facility in Kansas City. See pics of the couple and their 3-month-old baby before this unfortunate day.
Jovan Belcher, 25, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound near Arrowhead Stadium on Dec. 1 after killing his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins less than an hour before his death.
The couple, who have a 3-month-old daughter together (born Sept. 11), appeared to be happy and in love, according to Kasandra's Facebook photos.
"Jovan and Kasandra always seemed to be in love. In fact, when Kasandra got pregnant, she and Jovan were ecstatic. Ever since the baby was born in September, the two couldn't have seemed happier together," a source tells TMZ.
Our thoughts go out to Jovan and Kasandra's family and friends at this difficult time.

I am all for increasing the playing time that Wilson gets, but not so sure about putting him in as a slot receiver, not in this offense and the complexity of the receiving routes. Even with experienced receivers you see situations where the receiver and Eli aren't on the same page, and that can lead to bad things.
I wouldn't mind seeing him get a complete set of downs... I know that his blocking is suspect, but lets throw him in there and find out. Preferably early in the game since the offense rarely does anything in the first half anyway, it certainly couldn't hurt to try to put a spark in the game early.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
They need to take that damned draw play for no friggin gain out of the damned playbook! That would help a lot! And the soft zone that all but gives the game away needs to get tossed into the garbage can as well!
Start using hynoski more because the guy is a friggin bull
STOP.....STOP......STOP running passing plays inside the damned red zone, because my heart just can't take too many of those moments anymore after 45 years of following this team!
Oh yeah........when you have the chance to kick the winning FG....KICK IT!
And mop the floor with the less talented Browns like you should, because if they keep it close or get a lead, i'm going to start sending the Giants' front office my receipts for the new remotes that I have to buy! I can't even tell you how many remotes I've destroyed watching this team....and the Zone (lack of) Defense has been responsible for most of them.
You ever see Ray Lewis and the Ravens fall into a soft zone ? Ray Lewis' head would explode if their DC even TRIED calling it. Ray Lewis rushes the QB til the clock reads 00:00!! Take a page from THAT book Fewell!!!!

Its incredible when fans see a player with speed and a few moves and think they should be starting. Almost EVERY TEAM in the NFL has a player with speed on their roster that does not play. In the NFL there are 20 different things that make a running back or WR good and speed (although important) is only one of them. In DC it Brendan Banks and in Dallas it was Felix Jones for years.
We heard the same thing about Scott last year, Moss, ECT I remember when people (long before the boards) where crying for Stephen Baker!
Wilson will get his chance (if he can do other things that the coach ask for)...

OK... so you've seen the Metasploit's newly redesigned website. For those not in the know or unfamiliar with the Express Edition:
Metasploit Express builds on the power of the Metasploit Framework, the gold standard for penetration testing with more than one million unique downloads in the past year and the largest public database of quality assured exploits. Unlike the Metasploit Framework, which offers only a command-line interface, Metasploit Express provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface that guides the user through the steps of discovery, gaining access, taking control, and collecting evidence. In addition to the features available in the Metasploit Framework, Metasploit Express automates many common penetration testing tasks and provides the ability to launch advanced attacks without the need to develop custom scripts. Individuals whose role does not permit them to conduct penetration tests can still verify exploitability with a dry run that only shows the exploit information but does not execute the exploits.
All someone had to do was participate on EH-Net. And that deserving EH-Net member this time around is Jamie.R. Congrats and keep up the good work. Even if you didn't win this month, keep it up. Not only will there be more prizes each and every month, but also your participation is helping many people in the global security community. For that, all EH-Netters deserve a huge thanks.
Good luck on this month's prize. We'll see the winner in Vegas, baby!

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › Hydrophilic on cuben?
Dec 9, 2012 at 4:05 pm #1296907
Has any one tried applying a hydrophilic coating to the inside of a cuben fiber shelter? The hope is that this would encourage water to stick to the material and slide down it rather than bead up and drop off.
If this works, it could eliminate the need to tape seams, which would save a good bit of weight (24% in the case of Zpacks' Hexamid Solo Tarp).
Thanks!Dec 9, 2012 at 4:27 pm #1934353

Bibler tents have something like that, however you still need to seam seal themDec 9, 2012 at 7:47 pm #1934390
Dustin ShortBPL Member
The weight of the coating for such large surface areas is not negligble. Based on the ZPacks specs your coating would have to be at least under .2oz/sqyd (likely under .15oz/sqyd) to be lighter than seam taping/sealing. That's pretty hard to achieve at home and will likely eventually peel over time compared to seam treatment.
Worth a shot if you want to experiment but likely not worth the effort if you are just playing a hunch to save weight.Dec 10, 2012 at 10:28 am #1934515

Hydrophilic coatings for plastics are commonly used for medical devices, filters, and other applications, but I don't know of any that are marketed as retail products the way hydrophobic coatings are. The most common hydrophilic coatings are polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP), polyacrylic acid, and polyurethanes. Most are two-layer coatings that require a bonding layer and a topcoat. They aren't available in aerosol cans; you'd have to aquire them (maybe as samples?) from an industrial supplier and apply them with an airbrush. As Dustin said, these coatings are not weightless. It would probably be substantially heavier than seam taping.
Corona treatment, on the other hand, is essentially weightless, and it radically increases the surface energy of low-energy plastics like PET (the surface of cuben). I've considered making a small corona surface treater for cuben surfaces to improve peel strength of bonded seams. If you have some electronics expertise (you don't need much) and some of spare time, you can build one.
This youtube video shows application of a DIY corona treater to a mylar surface. It's very hydrophilic after treatment:Dec 11, 2012 at 7:53 pm #1934902

Some while ago, Jack Stephenson said:
"The extremely low radiant heat loss of the Mylar surface results in a single wall tent with almost as little condensation as our unsurpassed double wall tents."
(From a Warmlite catalog, ca. 1970's)
Sent a page of this 'article' to Roger Caffin, and he commented something like, "Yes, that's Lord Jim all right," but otherwise remained mum (as he is entitled to, of course).
If Jack's statement is accurate, this might explain the comments here about lesser condensation with Cuben tarps. Anyone know, or have an angle on this?
And if true, how would the hydrophilic coating affect the condensation level?
And if all that worked out, sure the coating would have significant weight; but how would it compare to a sub one oz. netting or DWR nylon or polyester inner tent?
Just wonderin' . . .Dec 14, 2012 at 7:11 pm #1935531
Wow – was not familiar w/ corona treatment. I think a hydrophilic effect with NO coating is the clear winner.
Just as a reminder, my interest isn't in eliminating seam sealing, but misting.
Now, which will prove more compelling: building a corona widget or that amp kit I've had my eye on??Dec 14, 2012 at 8:01 pm #1935535

You say: "The hope is that this would encourage water to stick to the material and slide down it rather than bead up and drop off."
True enough, but it's still going to be very WET, and if you touch it, some of that additional water is going to douse you or your equipment.
Others were talking about the unwoven material used by Bibler, and earlier by Early Winters to line its GTX tents. The idea is to soak up the condensation, and hold it until it has time to evaporate. It also doesn't feel as wet when you graze against it, because the water has been absorbed and is not just sitting there on the surface.
With the microthin coating, there is nothing to aborb the water, so it will just sit there, or perhaps hang there would be more like it.
If Jack and some others are right about the condensation not forming so much on the PET, or Mylar surface in the first place, that sounds better. Even better if there is netting (that also keeps out bugs) on both sides of you and high enough at head and foot to protect you and the bag/quilt/hat from water contact. Or it could be sub one ounce fabric instead of netting if you like that better. TarpTent seems to like the netting on some of theirs, but no Cuben with them, of course.
In your later post, you shift from water dropping to "misting." This word gets thrown around so much, I'm not sure people know what meaning is intended. Some are talking about fine condensation that looks like somebody "misted" the tent wall with a sprayer. This can be common in a cold, heavy rain in a silnylon tent, even if no one is in it. Others are referring to very tiny water droplets penetrating through the tent wall and falling slowly, like a mist. The latter is addressed by a material with good water resistance. The former is inevitable in a single wall tent, the only thought being that if Jack, et al, are right, it will be less with a Mylar surfaced material.
So it sounds like you hope that the Hydrophilic coat will keep that lesser amount of condensation on Mylar from dripping. But it might also remove the tendency of the Mylar to reduce condensation. Please let us know how it all works out.
In the meantime, I suggest the best avenue is to find very light WPB coatings or treatments that water vapor will permeate through at lower humidity pressure, as you would have in a tent, as compared with a jacket during exertion. Some mentioned in Alan Dixon's article on this site are Event, Nexus Epic, Propore and maybe the updated verions of Entrant being used by Montbell. There are serious water resistance issues with Epic, the lighter Propore materials available are very fragile, the Montbell material is probably not quite breathable enough – so that leaves a very light version of Event. That's where I would suggest looking.Dec 14, 2012 at 9:18 pm #1935544
Everybody has seen water droplets slowly crawl down a window. When the surface in question is *completely* covered in water, there are no longer little sacks of surface tension holding volumes of liquid. Water molecules are free to flow in a planar micro-river between the solid surface and the river's surface tension film. This holds the promise of retaining a lower volume of liquid than a surface covered in bulbous droplets. A continuous film of surface tension also means any degree to which hydrophilic properties increase the rate of condensation ends as soon as the surface is completely wet.
Re. 'misting', agreed – that term has been mis-used to the point that it causes more confusion than clarity. I'm talking cuben, so I meant droplets of condensation being shaken loose and falling inside the tent, rather than a penetration process. When I first experienced this I referred to it as "induced rain." "Blow through" might be a better name for the other effect. Both, of course, resulting in a 'mist' inside the shelter.
I'm set on Cuben for its weight, which also rules out the WPB Cuben (1.43 oz/yd2) (with the possible exception of a portion of the roof near the apex) so a woven/laminate option like Event is out.
If I do conduct any field testing, I'll be sure to post results.

Scout for the New York Giants in the house at Lane. After taking David Wilson and Jayron Hosley, could they be looking for another Hokie?
Just took a look at ESPN draft rankings and it seems the top players in this game are as follows:
Va Tech
QB Logan Thomas positional rank 2nd
ILB Bruce Taylor pos rank 8th
DE James Gayle pos rank 17th
CB Rod Sweeting rank 8th
G Omoregie Uzzie 9th
DE Izaan Cross 13th
Kyle Fuller 6-1 190 CB is really good if I was a betting man I would think he or Gayle is who they are looking at
JR Collins weakside end
wow ESPN kind of sux they dont even have the 2 best players on GT's defense
Jeremiah Attaochu OLB 3-4 defense
SS Isaiah Johnson
Logan Thomas did not look good at all tonight. He made a couple decent throws in the 4th quarter, but his overal performance and especially is footwork are not at all polished.
VT did have a young HB, a true freshman named Coleman who is a guy to keep an eye on in the upcomming years.
espn said there were 16 NFL scouts from 12 different teams, and guess who had 3 scouts? the attention seeking Jets. lol they either copying us or they lookin for a QB next year wit Logan thomas cuz they gonna be trash this year
I certainly woulden't read to much in to it, being that its the first wk of the season, but i have a feeling that Omergerie Uzzi is a guy the giants will covet..

Suggested Supplemental Reading
If you were mentoring someone through the OSCP who had minimum pen testing experience and could only give them 1 book (or 1 website reference) as supplemental material for the course, what book/website would you suggest?
My suggestion would be "BackTrack 4: Assuring Security by Penetration Testing". Even though the latest BT release is v5, I still believe this book is extremely relevant for a beginner pen tester.
