Formula 1 ends Mumm partnership
Formula 1 has ended its 15-year partnership with Champagne sponsor Mumm, reportedly after a multi-million euro offer was rejected by the sport's management.
The partnership had been in place for 15 years, but Mumm brand owner Pernod Ricard's reported €5 million sponsorship offer was deemed "insufficient".
The termination of the sponsorship deal will see the end of podium winners spraying each other from Jeroboams of Mumm Champagne after each Grand Prix.
Instead, Moët et Chandon will be now be presented during the trophy ceremony.
The deal also previously saw Mumm releasing limited edition F1-themed bottles, the latest being in 2014.
However, Mumm looks set to remain as the sponsor of 'Formula E', the world's first all-electric racing series.
Pernod Ricard said in a statement: "We are very proud of our past and have enjoyed 15 years as the official champagne of Formula 1, seeing great success in terms of visibility and awareness.
"In our mission to continually innovate, excite and push the boundaries, we have chosen to explore a new opportunity – Formula E, electric motor racing (which is being managed by the FIA, Formula 1 managing body) – as it is truly ground breaking, has a strong fit with our brand values and is a natural evolution in motor racing."

Twin Butte at Odds With Bondholders Seeking Better Salvage Dealby
Firm plans receivership, debtholders pitch different proposal
Canadian oil producer says senior lenders to demand repayment
Investors in Twin Butte Energy Ltd. could be forgiven for being confused after two conflicting notions of the Canadian oil producer's future emerged Tuesday evening.
The Calgary-based company said in a statement that it's headed for receivership under Canada's Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act after senior secured lenders indicated they intend to demand repayment of C$205.4 million ($157 million) of outstanding credit. Less than an hour later, a group of bondholders presented an alternate restructuring proposal they said would let Twin Butte stay in business by pursuing creditor protection and undertaking an asset sale, private placement and rights offering.
It's the latest twist in a months-long saga for the small energy company, which has struggled to cope with its debt obligations more than two years into an oil market slump. The differing outlooks follow a rejection by dissident convertible bondholders on Monday of the company's plan to sell itself. Twin Butte's failure to get the deal approved triggered a default on its credit line.
Twin Butte said on Tuesday that it has waived a 10-day notice period for the enforcement of the credit facilities under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and expects to be in court in Calgary on Thursday for the appointment of a receiver to oversee its assets and business, at which point the company's directors would resign.
Rob Wollmann, chief executive officer of Twin Butte, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail or phone message left outside of normal business hours on Tuesday.
Alternate Proposal
An ad hoc committee of unaffiliated senior debenture holders is instead arguing that the company should file for protection from its creditors under Canada's Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act. That would allow for a series of transactions so Twin Butte could emerge with "significantly reduced leverage and material interest savings," according to a statement from the group. The bondholders said they outlined the proposal to a special committee of Twin Butte's board after the failed takeover vote on Monday.
About 32 percent of bondholders and 76 percent of shareholders voted to approve the sale to a group consisting of Hong Kong and Canadian-domiciled Reignwood Group Co. and Horizon Holding Group, Twin Butte said in a statement on Monday. The company needed at least two-thirds of stakeholders from both groups to approve the sale.
Some bondholders fought the takeover initially announced on June 24, arguing the deal rewarded equity holders at their expense. Under the terms, shareholders would have received 6 Canadian cents per share, or C$21 million, while the convertible-debt holders would receive 14 percent of the face value of their securities, or C$12 million.

Swaps (March 1, 1952 - November, 1972) was a California bred American thoroughbred racehorse. He was the son of Khaled, a stallion imported from the Aga Khan's stud in Europe. Swaps goes back to the immortal Man o' War, via his dam, Iron Reward, through the Triple Crown winner, War Admiral. In the list of the top 100 U.S. thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century by Blood-Horse magazine, Swaps ranks 20th.
West comes East
Trained by Mesh Tenney (a man Easterners scornfully called "raw" and "basic", yet who was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1991), bred and owned by the once cowhand Rex Ellsworth, the two-year-old Swaps was a good horse, but nothing to pin high hopes on. Yet the chestnut colt easily won his first 1955 start, the San Vicente Stakes —a good sign of things to come. But the San Vincente was raced over deep mud, and muddy water was forced into the sole of Swaps's right front hoof. It seemed a small infection. It was treated, and off raced Swaps.
He traveled east by rail in May 1955 to win the Kentucky Derby under jockey Willie Shoemaker, beating the heavily favored east coast star, Belair's Nashua, under Eddie Arcaro. Arcaro was quoted before the race that Summer Tan was the primary threat, which manifested the east-west division between the Swaps-Nashua camps. This rivalry culminated in a famous match race later that year.
Continuing after the Derby, Swaps' racing performances were brilliant. He broke records all over the country at various distances, on turf and on dirt, and often under heavy weight. (In the end, he broke or equaled six different track records.) Nashua followed up the Derby with wins in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. With much interest in a match race between Nashua and Swaps looming, a deal between the camps was reached for the colts to meet at Chicago's Washington Park on August 31, 1955. Swaps tuned up with a win in the prestigious American Derby, setting a 1 3/16 mile course record of 1:54 3/5 on the turf. However, the day before the scheduled match race, Swaps re-injured his foot during a workout on a track wet from a hard rain. Tenney and Ellsworth decided to risk running Swaps anyway. Nashua broke alertly under Arcaro, and he gained a tactical advantage on the lead. Arcaro's tactic forced Shoemaker with Swaps to get the worst of the poor footing. Nashua drew clear in the stretch to win easily. Nashua went on to earn 1955 U.S. Horse of the Year honors. Swaps did not race for the rest of the year as his foot healed again.
As a four year old, he was a monster of racing talent. Even though his foot bothered him from time to time, there were enough times it made no difference at all. At the age of four, Swaps was Horse of the Year. In 1956, while Europe considered Ribot the best horse in the world, in the U.S., Swaps was first in American hearts.
William H.P. Robertson wrote in his "History of Thoroughbred Racing in America" that Swaps' summer of 1956 was "The most amazing exhibition of speed in history."

- 1st - Washington Park Handicap (new track record of 1:33 2/5 for a mile carrying 130 lb.; six furlong split was 1:07 4/5, 2 full seconds faster than the track record)
Award winning journalist Morton Cathro wrote: "The ease with which he set those world records, going to the front and just saying goodbye, just more or less humbling his opponents—all of this despite fighting a recurring foot infection that never really went away entirely...look at the charts—in many of his races where he set world records, he was eased up. He was just so, so spectacular and so dominating."
The End of a Career
In October, training for the Washington, D.C. International at Laurel Park, he fractured his leg in two places in his left rear cannon bone, then a week later banged his leg in his stall, breaking his cast, and extending the fractures into his pastern joint. Unable to bear weight on his hind quarters, by this point, Swaps was dicing with death. Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, the trainer of Nashua, sent him a special sling from Belmont. He hung in it for weeks needing round the clock attention. The horse was calm, patient, and intelligent. His attending veterinarian at Garden State Park, William Miller, said, "If he makes one false move, he's done." In November of 1956, he beat the odds and jogged away from his cast and sling.
He was voted the U.S. Horse of the Year for 1956, and retired with career earnings of $848,900.
At Stud
Swaps stood his first season at Rex Ellsworth's farm, but then moved east to stand at John Galbreath's Darby Dan Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. His last five seasons were at Spendthrift Farm standing next to his old rival Nashua.
Swaps's son Chateaugay won the 1963 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. But the daughter he produced proved the pinnacle of his career as a sire. He was father to a filly New Yorkers called the "Queen of Queens": Affectionately (out of the great racing mare Searching). The Hall of Fame filly is ranked no. 81 in The Blood-Horse magazine list of the top 100 U.S. thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century.
A bronze of Swaps with jockey Bill Shoemaker stands at the Hollywood Park Clubhouse entrance gardens. Dedicated July 1, 1958, its design and setting was created by Millard Sheets and the sculpture by Albert Stewart. Swaps was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1966. In November 1972, he was euthanized at the age of 20. He was buried in the Lions Circle at Green Gates Farm, but his remains were eventually moved to the Kentucky Derby Museum at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

How To Improve Different Kinds of Memory
The human memory isn't one single process, but instead can actually be categorized into many different mental activities. When people store a memory, information is stored. What the information is and how long you can retain it will depend on what kind of memory it is. In general, there are two major kinds of memory: long-term and short-term (also known as working memory). Both are defined by the length of time information for memory is stored in the brain. If you are working towards memory improvement, you should first determine which kind to focus on.
Long-term memory involves the mind's system for storage, management, and retrieval of information. Compared to short-term memory, long-term memory is much more complex. That's because people store different information by using different memory systems. To make things even more complicated, long-term memory can be divided into three types: explicit, implicit, and autobiographical.
Explicit memory (also known as "declarative memory") requires conscious thought. Conscious recall is required when retrieving information. Data is explicitly stored as well as retrieved. Constant recall and association with other ideas are ways for memory improvement if you're focused on improving this aspect of your long-term memory.
Implicit memory (also known as "procedural memory") in comparison is not based on conscious thought or recall. It is retained through implicit learning. This kind of memory is involved when you do routine tasks automatically, or have learned a skill like bike riding where you don't have to think about how to do it. Repetition is the key to improving and maintaining this kind of memory.
Autobiographical memory is involved when you recall personal experiences. It is the memory for specific events or happenings in your life. This can further be divided into two types: episodic and semantic memory. Episodic memory involves information particular to a specific context, like time and place. Semantic memory concerns facts that are taken out of independent context.
On the other hand, short-term memory is related closely to working memory. It is retained for a short time in the brain. You can keep that information in your mind before you either dismiss it or transfer it into long-term memory. Different memory programs and techniques can certainly help improve the mind's capacity to store and retrieve this kind of memory.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Which carbon poles for a firstlight tent?
Is there a particular set that people tend to use more than others to lighten up the base load of the firstlight tent by black diamond?
@rayestrellaLocale: Northern Minnesota
The only people I know of that sell them is:
I had a set for my Seedhouse SL2
There was a guy posting here that had been talking about making them (along with lots of other stuff…).
@snusmumrikenLocale: SF Bay Area
I have had the fibraplex poles for several years now, and feel that although more fragile than the stock poles, they are definitely worth the weight savings.
I've had mine crack once when I was a bit sloppy putting them together. You have to be careful to make sure each section is connected before bending them into an arch. They still worked with a duct tape repair. After the trip Fibraplex repaired them quickly and without hassle.
The stock poles for the FirstLight is 14 ounces, the Fibraplex poles are 7 ounces.
Caveat: Others on this board have had more trouble with their poles.
@b-g-2-2Locale: Silicon Valley
I second the motion for Fiberplex. I've had a set for a few years now without any problem. Easily, they weigh half of whatever other poles you have. Not cheap.
@idahomtmanLocale: Northern Idaho
I have the Fibraplex poles for my Firstlight and I have another set for my OneShot. I have been satisfied with the quality of the poles, but I would second the need to be very careful and make sure the poles are well seated into one another before bending them. The fit on the OneShot is tighter than the Firstlight and I did have an end crack on a trip last summer.
Fortunately, a trail angel gave me an aluminum splint which saved the trip and I was able to have the pole repaired for $5 by the manufacturer. The problem was definitely user error and not as a result of the manufacturing process. Having said that, there is certainly less room for error with the Fibraplex poles. To me, the weight savings are worth it.
Well, 7 ounces saved is pretty huge, as is the $130 price tag unfortunately. Does anyone here want to sell the set they have for anything less than that?

"More global marketers are attending the [World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland] than ever before," Laura Desmond, Publicis Groupe CRO and SMG Global CEO, writes in a column for The Wall Street Journal's CMO Today. In the piece, Desmond cites three reasons the annual is more important to marketers than ever before:
• Davos is about the intersection between global issues affecting society and business, and marketers see that intersection most clearly and are best positioned to develop strategies that connect them.
• Global social causes—such as workplace diversity, LGBT rights, equal pay, the refugee crisis, climate change, access to clean water and others—are a business imperative.
• Data and technology are reinventing marketing, and agencies have the opportunity to lead clients through that revolution.
"In a time of immense technological change, our industry has a responsibility to move away from the combative agency vs. marketers vs. procurement approach that has dominated headlines and does us a disservice," Desmond writes. "We should take a Davos-like approach that honors collaboration and debate and honor new solutions that move us all forward."

Notting Hill Farmers' Market
Notting Hill Farmers' Market has been running since September 1999, and has a dedicated following of eager market shoppers. It is one of the area's best kept secrets, tucked away behind the tube, and locals want to keep it that way.
Many farmers who attend now have permanent spaces for them reserved in Notting Hill fridges and larders, including Olive Farm, with their fresh milk, cream, yoghurt and cheese from their herd of Guernsey cows. Fruit grower David Deme's stall is now such a part of the local fabric of the area that he's opened a shop next to the market.

Establishing and maintaining good credit is important – whether you want to obtain a mortgage, a car loan, or a student loan, your creditworthiness is the key to your financial life. If you have bad credit, it will be more expensive for you to borrow money for any purpose because your interest rate will be higher.

College freshman will be heading to school very soon and most families are already preparing them for the day. When thinking about what your child needs, don't forget financial wisdom. Not only is important to obtain a good education but you also want your child to leave college in a sound financial condition as well.

text: 000 FXUS65 KGJT 211742 AFDGJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service GRAND JUNCTION CO 1142 AM MDT Sun May 21 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday) Issued at 345 AM MDT Sun May 21 2017 Clouds were beginning to fill in over northeast Utah and northwest Colorado ahead of an approaching shortwave trough approaching from the northwest. Otherwise, very little was going on across the region this morning...for a change. However, as the trough axis reaches the northern border region of western Colorado and eastern Utah isolated to scattered showers are expected to develop. This activity will increase and spread southward while some embedded thunderstorms develop during the afternoon in response to decreasing stability and mid-level upward forcing associated with the southward propagating trough. The higher terrain is favored, but isolated showers showers are possible over the I-70 corridor east of Debeque and areas north. Despite increased clouds and scattered precipitation, afternoon highs are expected to continue their upward trend, but will still fall below normal for this time of year. Showers and thunderstorms will continue into the evening but will largely diminish during the latter part of the night as the trough axis moves to the southwest Colorado border by 12Z/Monday. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to break out once again on Monday afternoon as a second, weaker shortwave brushes the mountains of the Continental Divide. Overnight lows will continue to moderate while afternoon highs climb to near seasonal norms during the afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 345 AM MDT Sun May 21 2017 Apart from an isolated shower or two lingering into the Monday evening hours along the Divide, drier conditions with clearing skies will prevail as high pressure begins to build overhead. High pressure will be in control through at least midweek with afternoon convective activity remaining minimal. Temperatures will recover in response to the ridge with above seasonal values returning. Extended models are beginning to come into better agreement on having the ridge shift east early Thursday as an upper level trough digs into the northwestern CONUS, though they still differ on the intensity of the trough. Southwesterly flow will increase ahead of this system which could lead to the return of clouds and convective showers as early as Thursday afternoon. As previous forecaster mentioned, trends in the timing and location of this next system will be monitored over the next several days. Regardless, a return to cooler and more unsettled conditions can be expected through the long term forecast period. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 1122 AM MDT Sun May 21 2017 VFR aviation conditions expected through the early afternoon. A weak system will increase cloud coverage and ceiling heights will lower later this afternoon. A few scattered showers may affect some of the higher elevation terminals. Otherwise, expect a mostly cloudy overnight and ceilings to rise again by morning. MVFR appears unlikely however a few ILS thresholds may be met early this evening. && .GJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CO...None. UT...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...NL LONG TERM...MMS AVIATION...MAC

Your First Look At the New, Improved
L.B. Houston Luna Vista Golf Course
City of Dallas
In March, the city of Dallas began $4.8 million in renovations to the L.B. Houston Golf Course, the 18-holer in the northwestern-most corner of the city. That required closing the course to the public and changing its name to Luna Vista, since Dallas is a world-class city, after all, and who the hell was L.B. Houston anyway?
The redo included a new clubhouse and practice facilities, reworked fairways and greens, 300 additional trees, 18 bunkers and other work that means "everyone who sees it for the first time cannot believe it is the same course," according to golf pro Mickey Piersall.
The course will be inaugurated this weekend with a Friday ribbon cutting and a tournament beginning Saturday. It opens to the public on Monday. For now, the city's passed along a handful of photos, which you'll find after the jump.

text: DENVER, June 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- EARTHSTONE ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: ESTE) announced today that drilling has reached total depth on two new horizontal Bakken wells and drilling on two additional wells is underway in the Banks Field, McKenzie County, North Dakota. Equally important, Brigham Exploration Company (BEXP) (Brigham) has begun its long awaited drilling campaign following its purchase of Panther Energy's ( Tulsa) interest in the Banks Field last fall. The two wells already drilled are the Gunderson 15-22 1H and the Enderud 9-4 2H. The Gunderson well is currently being completed while the Enderud 9-4 2H is waiting on a completion rig. Earthstone has a 3.9% and 5.1% interest in the two wells, respectively. Brigham is the operator of both wells. Drilling has commenced on the Banks State 16-21 1H and the Wold 15-33H, also in the Banks Field. Earthstone has a 3.4% and 2.3% working interest in these wells, respectively. The Banks State well is operated by Brigham, while the Wold well is operated by Zenergy, Inc. (Zenergy), a privately owned company, headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. All four wells are expected to be on production by fall. In related news, Earthstone provided additional information on North Dakota operations: Banks Field, McKenzie County In the Banks area, the Company previously reported its participation with Zenergy in the Berquist 33-28H and the A. Johnson 12-1H. Earthstone has a 0.18% and a 0.08% working interest in these wells, respectively. The Berquist 33-28H is now producing, however is on confidential status. The well is currently flowing back hydraulic stimulation fluid, though is expected to establish an initial potential of over 900 barrels of oil per day. The A. Johnson 12-1H has been hydraulically stimulated and is currently producing, though primarily flowing back stimulation fluids. As a result, an estimate of this well's initial production rate can not be determined at this time.

This means that any code which is necessary for Derby to operate must be 1.4 source. This means that mandatory code cannot take advantage of Java 5 features such as enums, generics, annotations, and varargs. b) The CDC small device platforms require 1.4 level class files. Java 5 class files will not run on CDC platforms. c) There is no problem with using the Java 5 compiler to compile 1.4 source into 1.4 targets. This already works today for those of us whose default compiler is Java 5 or Java 6. d) Java 5 is available on all likely development platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Solaris. e) If we required Java 5 (or higher) in order to compile Derby, then we could use Java 5 features in optional engine code and in optional tests. I propose that we require Java 5 (or higher) in order to build Derby. If there are no objections and no further discussion, then I intend to call a lazy consensus vote on this proposal.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs currently being driven today. Nissan automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their Pathfinder around town. Car aficionados appreciate the a sporty attitude built into each Nissan, and know that only top quality repair Pathfinder parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Nissan vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck.
You can't get great gas mileage and horsepower at the same time without the best air intake and fuel delivery parts. The fuel filter in your car or truck keeps tiny particulates that may be flowing from your gas tank to the fuel injectors out of the fuel supply. These particulates negatively affect how powerful and efficient the engine is in your Nissan Pathfinder, because it could clog injectors and/or reduce the octane of your fuel. When your Nissan Pathfinder fuel filter gets filled with the particulates that it is filtering, your fuel supply will be restricted and the same effects could result. That is why it is important to change your fuel filter every year.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Nissan Pathfinder part for your needs. Don't let a broken Fuel Filter spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. When your Nissan needs a new replacement Fuel Filter, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Need 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel Filter parts? We've got them right here.

Background: The finding that only 15 to 20% of cigarette smokers acquire COPD suggests that there is a genetic predisposition to the disease. Genetic polymorphism of the group-specific component of serum globulin (Gc-globulin), also known as vitamin-D–binding protein, is considered one of the candidates for the susceptibility to COPD. However, the role of Gc-globulin polymorphism in the development of COPD remains inconclusive.
Study objectives: To determine whether Gc-globulin gene polymorphism plays a role in the development of COPD in the Japanese population, and whether it is associated with the physiologic deterioration in COPD, and its radiologically detectable correlates.
Design: Association study.
Subjects and methods: One hundred three patients with COPD and 88 healthy smokers sampled from the Japanese population were genotyped for Gc-globulin by the restriction fragment-length polymorphism method. Based on the results of the genotyping, we investigated the relationship between Gc-globulin polymorphism and a physiologic/radiologic indicator of lung function, namely, the annual decline of FEV1 (dFEV1) in 86 patients with COPD and 21 healthy smokers. Additionally, high-resolution CT parameters such as low-attenuation area percentage (LAA%) and average CT number (mean CT score) were measured in 85 patients with COPD.
Results: There was an increased proportion of Gc*1F homozygotes in the patients with COPD (32%) compared with the healthy smokers (17%) [p = 0.01; odds ratio, 2.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.2 to 4.6]. Patients with COPD and the Gc*1F allele showed a larger dFEV1 (p = 0.01), higher frequency with LAA% > 60% (p = 0.01), and lower mean CT score than patients without this allele (p = 0.03).
Conclusion: Gc-globulin polymorphism is significantly associated with susceptibility to COPD, and also with the severity of the disease.

We're not talking crazy stuff like cutting with laser beams; the saw has a blade and most of the usual parts but they are configured in a revolutionary way. This futuristic saw was designed by Dan Allen, who refers to it as the ATUM.
The tool has a ring blade (along the lines of a concrete cutoff saw); with cutting teeth on the outside and geared drive teeth on the inside. The saw is symmetrical and exceptionally narrow because instead of the motor being off to the side – it passes through opening in the blade and engages with the drive teeth. Click the animation at the bottom of the web page to see how it works.
As far as I know, there is no prototype or plans to make one. This is a design concept pure and simple. Still – it's pretty cool and I think it could work. There are a few problems with the design but they're not insurmountable: the grip looks kind of fat, wood chips and resin could gum up gears, and there seems to be no provision for bevel cuts.
This tool may never be built, but it amuses me to think that almost 90 years after the invention of the circular saw, someone has designed one that's circular in shape.
Archived Comment
Does not seem to have enough steel to track a straight line or dissipate heat build-up. But, it may be the next multi tool!

Very Lovely Vela Luka
... for the ride! We had a late lunch today and a swim and then anchored in Vela Luka, on the other side of Korcula Island. Tonight we weren't secured to a dock, but just by our anchor in the bay. It was lovely, but the only downside was that we had to use the dingy to get it. Brad ferried us across and we walked to the playground, where the medsailor punch party was underway. It was a great spot to ...
Blato, Korcula Island
... the hottest we all jumped into the water.
It was so cold, but i'll get use to it later in the holiday.
But for now it is so cold.
And then we went out the back and had a fire.
Yep this place is awesome.
Day 2 we drove to the main town of Korcula.
It is right on the water edge we could see like 6 or 7 meters deep.
I so wanted ...
Vis - big winds
After a sleepless night we get up early and head off to Vis to ensure we can get a bouy as more strong northerly winds due tonight. A good sail again but seas slightly choppy due to change in winds from southerly to northerly! We arrive in good time and manage to pick up a bouy and catch up on some sleep before heading into Vis to check out the old town. And a first - Eric gets a speeding fine in the dinghy! The quay is packed as all the party boats from Yacht Week are in - ...
Vela Luca - Korcula Town - ferry to Orebic
... see-through shower & bathroom in Hotel Korkyra - interesting concept in hotel rooms!
This morning we decided to hike up to a famous cave above the city. The hotel gave us a key to get into the site, as it is still closed "prior to summer". The views of the city were increasingly incredible as we climbed to the top. Relics were found in the cave from 18,000 years ago! They have all been removed to the local museum ...
Temps hvariable / Hvariable weather
... with sea view. You can be jaleous. :)
The following day luck followed us again as rain finally spared us, and we even had a few nice sun rays. We made the most of it by climbing to the little fortress overlooking the harbour and we relaxed watching the first tourist boats come in. And after that, well it was already the end of our time in Hvar so after a walk alongside the shore we took the ferry again to go on to further adventures.

I don't care whether my server has 50% idle time or 20% if it just simply not able to send more because of the bandwidth limitation. And if the concurrency is your problem (meaning you have far too many clients) than I think context switches will be more of a problem than copying. At least that was the problem we had with apache serving static content (long time ago).

Edward Seidensticker, noted scholar of Japanese literature whose English translation of the novel was published in 1957, described the work as "perhaps Kawabata's masterpiece." According to him, the novel reminds of haiku, both for its many delicate contrapuntal touches and its use of brief scenes to tell a larger story.
As Shimamura begins to understand his place in the universe, the idea of mono no aware is also quite apparent.
Nobel Prize
Snow Country is one of the three novels cited by the Nobel Committee in awarding Yasunari Kawabata the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968, the other two works being The Old Capital and Thousand Cranes.
Another Japanese novel, also titled Snow Country but spelled in katakana as opposed to the original kanji, references this work. In the homage to the original, a Japanese student undertakes translating a book from English into Japanese for summer homework. The student does not realize he is in fact translating a translation of the original work.

Just once --- just ONCE --- I'd like to keep one of my children.
I mean, that giant came into the room today, grabbed one of my children and went off muttering. I suppose he'll lower her down to the ground and buy some supplies with her. Which wouldn't be so hard except that he has to find somebody who'll deal with a net that lowers down from a cloud with a note that Harmonia writes. But objections usually melt at the sight of my children.
And I can't object. I literally can't object. I'm a goose. I can't speak human. Or giant.
I never used to be so unusual. I was just your common, everyday type of gosling. I was hatched out of a regular egg. I tumbled out, looked lovingly up at my Mom, and fell down.

I know it's long, but it's worth the read if it saves your life!!
THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU. Read all the way to the end. You just might learn something that will save your home from being burglarized.
I am particularly interested in the part about the wasp spray...
2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.
3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste... and taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.
4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it..
5. If it snows while you're out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house.. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.
6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don't let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it's set. That makes it too easy.
7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom - and your jewelry. It's not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there too.
8. It's raining, you're fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door - understandable. But understand this: I don't take a day off because of bad weather.
9. I always knock first. If you answer, I'll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don't take me up on it.)
11. Here's a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids' rooms.
12. You're right: I won't have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it's not bolted down, I'll take it with me.
13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If you're reluctant to leave your TV on while you're out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find itathttp ://www.faketv/.com/)
1. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook.
2. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors.
3. I'll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he'll stop what he's doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn't hear it again, he'll just go back to what he was doing. It's human nature.
4. I'm not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it?
5. I love looking in your windows. I'm looking for signs that you're home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I'd like. I'll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets.
6. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It's easier than you think to look up your address. Parents: caution your kids about this. You see this every day.
8. If you don't answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.
A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.
The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection... Thought this was interesting and might be of use.
Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania SouthviewHigh School . For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.
"That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save a life.
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.
This would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.
Please pass this on even if you've read it before. It's a reminder.
Please share this with all the people in your life.
|Great! on Feb 13, 2012 @ 05:01 pm
Thanks for the tips! I'll share with everyone I know :)
|really great advice! on Feb 13, 2012 @ 05:30 pm
This is really good advice. I have never thought about wasp spray but it makes perfect sense! We just used some last summer to get rid of a big nest and (a) it was really effective on the wasps and (b) it really does shoot about 20 feet. Also it's not illegal in most places where pepper spray and mace would be - get it at any hardware or grocery store in the pest control aisle.
I also really like the idea of the panic button on your car. Everyone perks up when a car alarm is going off for an extended time, especially nosy neighbours.
The tip about a loud radio and/or TV is very good. We do this all the time. We also have dogs (but that may not be realistic for every family). Our dogs are on the radio collar system so they can roam freely and all the way around our house. Go ahead bad guys and cut the power. Then they'll be able to chase your butt all the way back to your unmarked panel van. Seriously, please try.
And yes - PLEASE people, stop posting on Facebook or twitter that you're going out of town! There are too many people who have mind-blowing amounts of personal information on there that really, is NOBODY'S BUSINESS. If you are posting for your family's sake, they already know your address and phone number. They already know the real names and birthdates of your kids. You don't need to give this information away to stalkers and thieves. If you are doing it for the sake of people you don't know in real life (like internet friends) or people you are reconnecting with after a long time apart, that is what the private messaging is for. Stop posting on your walls! If you want to tell everyone about your amazing trip to the Bahamas, for goodness sakes--they can hear about it after you get back. Why would you risk your family's safety and your valuable possessions just for the sake of real-time updates?
Okay, getting off my soap box now so y'all can tell me I'm paranoid :)
|I second that mamaluv!! on Feb 14, 2012 @ 08:35 am
I don't go on face book very often, but when I do I can't get over how
|Thanks! on Feb 14, 2012 @ 10:08 am
Great tips! Thank you! I live alone in Toronto and have often wondered what I would do if someone tried to get into my house! I'm going to get wasp spray. :)

Canada Stocks Slump Most in 2 Months as CGI, Gold Producers FallEric Lam
Canadian stocks fell the most in two months, as gold producers dropped after Morgan Stanley cut its rating on Iamgold Corp. and Eldorado Gold Corp. and an investor sold shares of technology stock CGI Group Inc.
Iamgold and Eldorado Gold fell at least 4.2 percent. CGI Group declined 2.5 percent after investor Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec sold some of its shares. Detour Gold Corp. sank 7.4 percent for a seventh day of losses. Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. rose 3 percent after reporting higher-than-estimated earnings and boosting its dividend. Royal Bank of Canada and the Bank of Nova Scotia lost more than 1.4 percent to pace declines among lenders.
The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index retreated 122.45 points, or 0.9 percent, to 13,349.77 at 4 p.m. in Toronto, for its steepest slide since September. The benchmark equity gauge has dropped 0.9 percent this month to trim its 2013 advance to 7.4 percent.
"It's the commodities sector that's hurt the most today, and it's a continuing trend that Canada has been out of favor," said Ian Nakamoto, director of research with MacDougall MacDougall & MacTier Inc. in Toronto. The firm manages about C$4.7 billion ($4.5 billion). "There's uncertainty over energy in terms of Iran, and the potential for more supply is never good for a commodity. The mood and luster for gold just isn't there."
Raw-materials stocks slumped 1.4 percent as a group, the biggest decline in the S&P/TSX as nine of 10 industries retreated. Trading volume was 18 percent higher compared with the 30-day average at this time of the day.
Detour Gold
Detour Gold, the worst-performing stock in the S&P/TSX this year, sank 7.4 percent to C$3.49, the lowest close since December 2008. The stock has slumped 37 percent in the past seven days.
Chief Executive Officer Gerald Panneton resigned yesterday without providing a reason. He will be replaced by Paul Martin, the chief financial officer, on an interim basis. Detour Gold has plunged 86 percent this year.
Eldorado Gold fell 4.5 percent to C$6.11 and Iamgold lost 4.2 percent to C$4.32. The S&P/TSX Gold Index declined 2.3 percent, a four-month low.
Morgan Stanley reduced its ratings for Eldorado Gold to equal-weight, the equivalent of a hold, from overweight, and dropped Iamgold to underweight, the equivalent of a sell.
Gold for December delivery was little changed in New York. The metal pared an earlier gain of as much as 1.3 percent after improving data on U.S. building permits and home prices.
Oil Stocks
Suncor Energy Inc. declined 1.8 percent to C$36.59 and Husky Energy Inc. lost 1.3 percent to C$29.89. Crude slipped 0.4 percent ahead of a report from the Energy Information Administration tomorrow that will probably say inventories rose 750,000 barrels last week, according to a Bloomberg survey.
Iran on Nov. 24 agreed to curtail its nuclear activities in return for easing some sanctions on oil, auto parts, gold and precious metals.
CGI Group, the information-technology company that worked on the Obamacare health exchange software, fell 2.5 percent to C$39.70. Caisse de Depot, the Quebec pension fund, will sell 9.96 million shares of CGI Group to rebalance its investment portfolio.
As part of the transaction, CGI Group will buy back C$100 million worth of the shares, or about 25 percent of those sold by the pension fund.
Royal Bank, the nation's largest lender, decreased 1.4 percent to C$70.51 and Bank of Nova Scotia tumbled 1.6 percent to C$65.42. The S&P/TSX Banks Index slumped 1.1 percent, the most since June.
Alimentation Couche-Tard, the convenience store operator, climbed 3 percent to a record C$76.17 after reporting second-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.32 a share compared with analysts' estimates of $1.23. The company also raised its quarterly dividend to 10 Canadian cents a share from 8.75 cents.
Chorus Aviation Inc. surged 29 percent to C$3.52, a record gain, after an arbitration panel ruled in favor of the company's Jazz Aviation unit in a dispute with Air Canada, the nation's largest airline.
Air Canada, the top-performing stock in the S&P/TSX this year with a 293 percent advance, slipped 0.3 percent to C$6.87.

Shelly is an absolutely beautiful, gentle and playful, one-year-old, 10-pound, golden-eyed, female black cat looking for a loving guardian.
Shelly has just about everything going for her. She loves other cats and dogs, is active, happy and fun, has excellent litter box skills and uses her cat scratching post like a good girl. She has all her claws and would like to keep it that way.
Shelly was rescued from Chicago Animal Care and Control and they were all lucky to get out of a cage and into a loving foster home.
Shelly adores people of all ages including children and she loves to play and jump for toys. She follows her foster mom around the house … even into the bathroom, and never lets her change the bed sheets alone!
She is very healthy, spayed, up-to-date on rabies and distemper vaccines, dewormed, virus-tested and micro-chipped. To meet and possibly adopt her, please contact her foster mom Annie at firstname.lastname@example.com or 312-576-4400. Her adoption fee of $95 benefits the rescued pets of Azrael's place. She is being fostered in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood.
