How To Declutter Your Food Ideas & Save Your Money
Many moms are always looking for new ideas for what to make for dinner – and lunch, and breakfast, and snacks, and party foods, ect. It is nice that there are so many resources where moms can draw on new ideas but for most moms the amount of information out there can be overwhelming. We have magazines, websites, cooking shows, and even the local newspaper offering us recipe ideas. Then there are Grandma's passed down recipe books we've barely blown the dust off over the years. But we have delusions of grandeur as we clip out these new ideas imagining a new meal to set before the family.
But what do we really do with all those great ideas? The clippings and the printouts likely end up in a one big huge pile of disaster that Mom just doesn't have the time to deal with. The intentions are good but what moms really need is systematic way of dealing with recipe ideas as soon as they come to pass.
Here are tips for developing a quick, easy, and best of all – free system of combating recipe overload:
Take One Evening
Dedicate a few hours, perhaps during the school day or after the kids go to bed, to sit in peace and quiet. Go through your heaping stacks of recipe cutouts and only hang on to the ones that still interest you. You may not get through every recipe you have in the house but you can plan for regular night of catching up. Don't rush through the process but don't pour over every single idea you once thought was great.
Crafting Your Organizer
For supplies, all you need is some sturdy, colorful card stock, a thin-point Sharpie marker, a paper slicer, and an empty photo album with the kind of plastic photo holders where you can slide photos in and out. Create some recipe cards that match the size of the photo album slots. Even if you don't have time to be particularly crafty, you can still get recipe card templates for free online. Print out a good quantity in different colors.
Creating Your Cards
Using the paper slicer, cut the card designs you made or the templates you used to a size that will fit the album slots. Select specific card stock colors for different categories of food (pink=baked goods, blue=dinner). As you select a recipe from the 'keep' pile, write out the instructions on the new card. Continue doing this until your keep pile is gone or at least until you get writer's cramp. As an alternative, you can also type and print the recipes than cut and glue to the card templates but it is a personal choice.
Organizing Your Album
Depending on how you like to organize, you can separate your photo albums by categories the way cookbooks often do. You can also put all your favorite recipes in the front and everything else in an order of your choice.
Increase Kitchen Space
If you have multiple recipe books that you do use from time to time, browse for your favorite recipes to be included in the more accessible album and slide those heavy, space-robbing books into a cabinet out of the way.
Make Memorable Gifts
After you have made some progress on your own, keep your momentum going and create a blank album complete with the blank recipe cards for friends and family. They make great gift ideas and cost you nothing more than time and a few supplies. Plus, when you add in a few select favorite recipes of your own, it makes your gift that much more special.
Make Memorable Nights
Many moms have little time to socialize on their own adult level but you can start a wonderful new tradition with your mommy friends and host the first Recipe Night at your home to get everyone started. Stick to a monthly get-together so everyone can keep up with clutter and find new food ideas all at the same time and cherish the low-cost socializing event.
You can learn to utilize the recipe book your created to help you save money on groceries since it is easier to prepare your grocery list when the recipes are accessible. If your album is particularly portable, you can take the whole thing with you when you aren't sure what you need. In fact, use extra slots in the back of the book to store your coupons so you'll never forget them on the counter again.

Ten years ago, the idea of sharing photos online was strange. Today things are very different. In 2010, Consumer Reports found that 63% of people share photos of themselves on Facebook, and the numbers have only been on the rise since then.
As social norms about sharing photos online have evolved, something else has been changing, too. Unlike in the point-and-shoot camera days, today, many of the pictures you take contain more than image you snapped: they broadcast your location.
Metadata is information that is stored in a photo file along with the actual picture. Up until recently, metadata was basically harmless and only contained info about things like the photo's size or the amount of space it'd take up on your computer.
With the advent of GPS and smartphones things have changed. Whenever you snap a picture with a smartphone, it records your current location in GPS coordinates and stores it inside of the photo as metadata. This is known as a "geotag".
While geotags don't appear when you're looking at a photo, simple computer programs can use them to easily trace where a photo was taken.
It's not hard to see how this could lead to bad things. Geotags could easily reveal where you work, your address, or even what parks your children play in regularly.
Luckily, two of the major photo sharing websites, Facebook and Flickr, automatically strip the location information out of all the photos you post on them. However, not all photo sharing sites do this, so it's a good idea for you to disable it on your end.
This video gives a good overview of how to disable geotagging on iPhone, Android and Blackberry.
Some advanced cameras also geotag photos. If you use a digital camera, it's a good idea to check the manual to make sure your shooter isn't recording your location every time you snap a shot.
What do you think about geotagging? Is it a privacy violation, or just a fun way to remember where you took a photo?

Heart-pounding thrills and
Excitement. Must be time for
Simple URLs.
Yesterday afternoon the author of today's haiku (and his wife) took a trip to the Utah Olympic Park. Was it the most exciting time he ever had in his entire life? Probably not. Still, it was interesting. For example, he learned why Park City, UT – smack-dab in the middle of the desert – gets as much snow as it does. (An average of 360 inches per year at the Jupiter ski lift located just outside of town.) Likewise, he learned how heavy a curling stone actually is. (Surprisingly heavy, although, considering the fact that curling stones are made of granite, that probably shouldn't have come as that much of a surprise to him.)
The author and his wife hiked around a bit, but didn't try any of the thrill rides available at the Park. They watched the bobsleigh (its official name), but they didn't ride it. That was pretty much a matter of being too cheap: at $60 apiece for a 1-minute ride, that just didn't seem worth it. (Especially since you don't actually get to either drive or push the bobsleigh.) As the author's wife noted, that's $1 per second for each ride, and that just seemed a bit much to pay for such a short ride.
Note. Obviously the author's wife hasn't priced a gallon of gas lately.
The Xtreme Zipline was much more affordable, but with the Xtreme Zipline you sit in a little harness suspended 100 feet high in the air, then get rocketed down the mountainside at speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour. (From what we've been told, the Xtreme Zipline is the "fastest and steepest" zipline in the world. The world!) The author and his wife didn't ride the Xtreme Zipline because – well, it doesn't really matter why the author and his wife didn't ride the Xtreme Zipline. Let's just say that one of them isn't really a thrill-seeker, especially when heights are involved.
On the other hand, one of them obviously is a thrill-seeker. After all, if he wasn't a thrill-seeker then he wouldn't dare to write a haiku about – gasp – the New-CsSimpleUrlEntry cmdlet!
Warning. Today's haiku (like most Lync Server PowerShell haikus) can cause dizziness, nausea, and headaches. People with heart conditions, expectant mothers, and anyone hoping to get information about the New-CsSimpleUrlEntry cmdlet without having to wade through things like phony warning labels should not read today's haiku.
As the name implies, the New-CsSimpleUrlEntry cmdlet is used to help create simple URLs. Simple URLs are, to put it simply, one of Microsoft Lync Server 2010's better innovations. Back in the old days (that is, back in the days of Office Communications Server 2007 R2) people could schedule online meetings. That was good. What wasn't so good is the kind of URL that was generated for those meetings. For example:
Try reading that URL to someone over the phone.
You know, unless you're chicken or something.
Note. In case you're wondering, you can't even use Twitter to send people an Office Communications Server meeting URL. The URL shown above has 160 characters in it.
Anyway, in Lync Server 2010 simple URLs provide a way for you to create meeting URLs that are, well, simpler. For example, here's a Lync Server meeting URL:
Granted, fellow thrill-seekers will find URLs like that a bit dull. But they are a little easier to work with.
Note. We would also say that they are easier to tweet, but we refuse to use the word "tweet." And we especially refuse to use it as a noun.
For today's haiku, we're going to skip over the infrastructure requirements for setting up simple URLs; you can get more information on that in Haiku #29. We're also going to largely skip past the use of the New-CsSimpleUrl cmdlet; that's something we'll cover in tomorrow's exciting conclusion to this two-part series. (By the way, this is a two-part series.) Do we really need a two-part series to cover simple URLs? No. We really need a 10-part series. But we're going to try and cover it all in just two parts.
Note. In case you're wondering, the "simple" part of simple URLs refers to the URL itself. We're not so sure that "simple" would be an apt description of the process of creating a simple URL.
So what does the New-CsSimpleUrlEntry cmdlet do? Well, to create a simple URL in Lync Server is actually a three-step process:
1. You must specify the actual URL (e.g., https://meet.litwareinc.com) that will be used for online meetings. This is done using the New-CsSimpleUrlEntry cmdlet.
2. You must create a simple URL that, among other things, references the URL you just created. The simple URL is created using the New-CsSimpleUrl cmdlet (which we'll discuss tomorrow).
3. You must add the newly-created simple URL to a collection of simple URLs.
Confused? We don't blame you. But here's what the process actually looks like:
$urlEntry = New-CsSimpleUrlEntry -Url "https://meet.fabrikam.com"
$simpleUrl = New-CsSimpleUrl -Component "meet" -Domain "fabrikam.com" -SimpleUrl $urlEntry -ActiveUrl "https://meet.fabrikam.com"
Set-CsSimpleUrlConfiguration -Identity "site:Redmond" -SimpleUrl @{Add=$simpleUrl}
As you can see, in line 1 we specify our URL by using the New-CsSimpleUrlEntry cmdlet. Note that New-CsSimpleUrlEntry has only one parameter: URL. You simply specify the URL you want to use for (in this case) online meetings and then stash that URL in a variable (in this example, $urlEntry). That variable will then be used in line 2, where we create a simple URL that also gets stored in a variable ($simpleUrl). Finally, in line 3 we use the Set-CsSimpleUrlConfiguration cmdlet to actually write that new simple URL to Lync Server.
But we'll worry about lines 2 and 3 tomorrow. For today, let's just focus on the first line in our set of commands:
$urlEntry = New-CsSimpleUrlEntry -Url "https://meet.fabrikam.com"
Like we said, there really isn't much to creating a simple URL entry. However, there are a few things you need to know about the kind of URL you can, and cannot, create. If you actually want your simple URLs to work, and if you actually want your users to be able to schedule online meetings, then make sure that your URL:
· Begins with https:// (the http: protocol is not allowed).
· Does not have the same name as any of your Lync Server computers or pools.
· Does not include a query string parameter (for example, something like https://meet.fabrikam.com/meet.htm?type=meeting).
· Is a valid fully qualified domain name.
And here's something really important: the domain referenced in the simple URL must be a valid SIP domain. All simple URLs must reference a valid SIP domain, and all of your SIP domains must have a collection of simple URLs. Why? Well, when a user schedules an online meeting, Lync Server retrieves the SIP domain for that user and then looks up the corresponding simple URLs for that domain. If the SIP domain doesn't exist, or if the corresponding URLs don't exist, then Lync Server cannot create a meeting URL. And without a meeting URL you can't have an online meeting.
Note. So how do you know if the URL you just created references a valid SIP domain? In this case, type the following at the Lync Server Management Shell prompt and then press ENTER:
Get-CsSipDomain | where-Object {$_.Identity -eq "fabrikam.com"}
If nothing comes back, then fabrikam.com is not a valid SIP domain.
And, of course, if you just want a list of all your SIP domains then run this command:
Too much excitement for one day? Well, now you can see why we decided to turn this into a two-part series. Try to calm yourself down a bit, get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow we'll talk a little bit about the New-CsSimpleUrl cmdlet.
Brace yourselves.

Implants were removed and the doctor did a breast lift. I felt my breasts were too big and they were too much weight because I am a runner.
I had my implants removed almost two weeks ago and a lift was done at the same time. I have a serious infection that has not cleared up. The doctor acts like it is no big deal. The second round of antibiotics are not working. He says to keep it covered with iodine. Does this look like anything anyone has seen or dealt with? I feel so depressed and I don't know what to do.

Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n
REVIEW DATE : April 20, 2009
PROS: Simultaneous dual-band operation. Guest-network capability. Can extend wireless range. Performs well at long distances. Printer, hard-drive sharing.
Let's play a word game. I'll give a description, and you'll say the first thing that comes to mind. Ready? Porcelain-white, minimalist, 802.11n, some nifty features, others that are inexplicably missing, a tad overpriced at $179 direct. "Sounds like the latest Apple Extreme Base Station 802.lln router," you say? You cheated. You read the same description in our review of the AirPort Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet, this router's predecessor. It all applies equally to the current iteration of Apple's well-built, reliable router, but Mac devotees who buy the updated box will get two impressive new features: simultaneous dual-band broadcasting and guest access. For networks that are all Mac or even Mac/Windows, it's a sound choice. For wall-to-wall Windows installations, however, you'll get better bang for the buck elsewhere.
Out of the Box
Unlike many routers, the AirPort Extreme has no Web interface. That's a bit of a pain, since you must install a setup/management utility on every client machine. Luckily, the Mac OS includes the necessary software. At least the process is quick and easy.
The software's interface is very different from that of non-Apple routers. Installation veterans comfortable with "typical" routers might be a bit thrown at first, but anyone used to the Apple UI style will feel at home. I do think, though, that the utility forces the average user to consider too many technical settings. Few consumers will know what "SNMP port over WAN" means, for example. Your best course is to leave the default settings or shut off features that aren't needed (if you recognize them). The common perception is that Apple products are simpler to set up and use than Windows productsthis is a clear exception. The best Windows routers, such as the Linksys by Cisco Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N, hide such arcane terms in the advanced menus, which the average user may never need to see.Next: Good Apple
Good Apple
The new AirPort Extreme supports simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, which means it can broadcast at 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz at the same timea feature it shares with several Windows routers, including the D-Link DIR-825 Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router. You can even give each band its own SSID and name, which I did during testing. That lets legacy devices connect at the lower frequency while more modern equipment can use the less-crowded higher band. On dual-band routers that don't offer this extra ability, such as the Linksys WRT320N, you have to switch manually between bands. Apple's band-segregating is a very cool ability, and one that I haven't seen in many routers. It works really well.
By default, the AirPort Extreme generates a name (unique ID) for you. After you obtain the unique names for the bands, switching between the Wi-Fi connections is as easy as finding the network and connecting to it. You can also manually adjust the transmission power on the router's radios, bolstering the signal when there's interference from other Wi-Fi devices. Or, if you'd rather not broadcast beyond a certain area, you can also cut signal strength. If you don't need the maximum transmission power, lowering it can save electricitya good green benefit.
As with the previous AirPort Extreme, this one lets you extend the reach of your wireless network by chaining together multiple wireless devices. The procedure is simple, extremely powerful, and one that businesses, in particular, can put to good use. You just have to identify your wireless network to the second Apple wireless device (such as another AirPort Extreme or the Apple Time Capsule 1TB, which I recently reviewed), and sign on.
When I tested the feature by combining the network I just created with a previously existing one, the AirPort Extreme automatically realized it was inside a LAN and, as a result, didn't try to generate an internal IP address (which would have conflicted with those the existing network was already creating). The Airport Extreme extended the range of my router by doubling the distance that it normally covers.
Guest access, as mentioned earlier, is another powerful new capability. This lets you give outside usersfriends, customers, and business associates, for exampleaccess to the Internet via your network, but blocks their access to all other network resources. The restricted network gets its own password, and you can set it to allow guests' wireless devices to communicate with each other.
Strong file-sharing support is another benefit of the AirPort Extreme. You can share drives, protect them with passwords, and even access them over the Internet (from Mac clients only) using Bonjour, the Apple program that lets you discover network devices. The router can also limit access if, for example, you want to regulate how much time your children spend on the Web.Next: Bad Apple
Bad Apple
This version certainly improves on its predecessor, but a number of complaints we (and others) had about the previous AirPort Extreme remain. Some, I'd wager, result from Apple's fanatical devotion to high style. So, for example, there are no visible ventilation holes to mar the enclosure, but that makes the device hot, especially on the top.
You'll also find just three LAN ports. That's one less than on any other consumer or SOHO router I've testeda decision made, I'm guessing, to shave off an insignificant amount of case width to make the design square. For many home users, a trio of LAN connectors is plenty. But let's see: Connect your desktop, the Xbox 360, the VoIP phone, and . Uh-oh, where are you going to plug in your networked storage device? Time to buy an Ethernet switch.
The most annoying sacrifice of function on the altar of design hits when you look for link status. The face of the enclosure has just one indicatora power/WAN-connection LED. That gives you info about your Internet connection, but that same quick glance should also disclose problems with your wired Ethernet. Not so with the AirPort Extreme. To check for Internet activity, Apple makes you turn the box aroundthe link lights are on the back. On the plus side, the rear of the case holds a USB port where you can connect a printer, hard drive, or (with a USB hub) both for sharing across the networka very thoughtful extra that few competing products offer.
The most serious deficit of this router is the firewall. But rather than go with up-to-date protection technology in the form of stateful packet inspection (SPI), Apple dialed up 1995 and ordered a firewall. That's certainly a necessary security componentevery consumer router provides NAT. But is it sufficient on its own? No way. NAT is not a true firewall but rather a special table that hides private IP addresses from the Web. In contrast, SPI is a true firewall feature. SPI maintains the state for the traffic between your computer and the computer you are reaching over the Web.
There's little doubt that this router's extensible wireless, simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, sharing of multiple USB-connected peripherals, and guest access are all powerful, high-end features. So the AirPort Extreme's lack of features that are commonplace on other routers is all the more puzzling. The absence of a true firewall is just one example. Another example is DDNSit's just not available for Windows users of the AirPort Extreme. Mac users can get it, but only if they pay for a MobileMe subscription. Okay, we all know that Apple can get away with charging loyal customers for extras that competitors give away.Next: Performance
I used Ixia's IxChariot software to test simultaneous upstream and downstream performance. The IxChariot server connected to the router was a Windows XP SP3 PC driven by a 3-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo backed by 4GB of RAM. The client, a 1.83-GHz RAM HP Pavilion dv2000 laptop with 3GB of RAM, used a USB D-Link DWA-160 network adapter and was running Vista SP1.
The AirPort Extreme has impressive wireless range, and better-than-average throughput, but many 802.11-n routers I evaluated beat it. When I set it up for 2.4-GHz operation and separated it from the client by 3 feet, the router scored 61 megabits per secondtypical for the 2.4-GHz band. The ASUS RT-N11 EZ Wireless N Router clocked in at 86 Mbps at that distance, and I got 93 Mbps with the TP-Link TL-WR941ND Wireless N Router. I clocked the Editors' Choice D-Link DIR-825 at 80 Mbps at 3 feet.
Over a 20-foot separation, the router held steady at 55 Mbps. At 50 feet, the AirPort Extreme really shined. It managed 49 Mbps with the power pumped to 100 percenta good result, considering the distance. That beats the Netgear WNR3500's score at that distance, which was just 38 Mbps. Another Editors' Choice, the D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router (DIR-855) pumped out 133 Mbps.
Operating in the 5-GHz band, the router managed 105 Mbps at 3 feetagain, average for that band. On the same test with the previous version of the router, the device pumped out 93 Mbps at about 5 feet. And, as you'd expect, the router's Gigabit backbone certainly proved to be no bottleneck. Plain old Fast Ethernet LAN ports, such as those on the ASUS RT-11N, do restrict throughput. Again, the D-link DIR-825 also beat the AirPort in this band, with a score of 149 Mbps.
When I moved the laptop to 20 feet, the AirPort pushed through 81 Mbps, which is also average in the 5-GHz band. At 50 feet, the AirPort Extreme performed better than expected, however, with 72 Mbps, indicating that in the 5-GHz band it can perform well at long distances. The D-Link Xtreme DIR-855 scored a whopping 232 Mbps at 20 feet, and 167 to 189 Mbps at 50 feet! But that's a $300-plus router. The more reasonably priced (at $150) D-Link DIR-825 produced 99 Mbps at 20 feet, and 68 Mbps at 50 feet.
The AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n is a good wireless router longing to be a great one. It won't be, though, until Apple puts as much emphasis on features and value as it does on design. Users with pure Mac networks get enough capabilities to make this box a worthwhile purchase. Users with mixed Mac and Windows networks don't derive quite as much benefit, but they should still consider the router. It's got some cool features, and it looks great. For the AirPort router to reach its tantalizingly close potential, however, Apple will have to improve its firewall and make the UI friendlier.

We report on unexpected field-angle dependence of the magnetoresistance measurements of commercial, high-purity Nb discovered during our study of residual resistivity ratio (RRR) measurements. The (RRR) value indicates the purity and the low-temperature thermal conductivity of the Nb and is used as a specification for superconducting radio-frequency cavities. The (RRR) is typically defined as the ratio of the electrical resistivities measured at 273 K and 4.2 K. One way to obtain the normal-state resistivity at 4.2 K is to measure the resistivity versus magnetic field at 4.2 K and extrapolate to zero field. The field-angle dependence was measured when a specimen was rotated while the field was transverse to the specimen current. The resistance changed by about 10 % as the angle varied at 8 T and the local maxima and minima of the resistance were separated by about 30'. This was observed on three polycrystalline Nb bar specimens with nominal dimensions of 64 mm × 6.7 mm × 3.3 mm and voltage taps separated by 30 mm. A similar field-angle dependence was obtained on a polycrystalline Cu wire specimen. This phenomenon has implications for Nb (RRR) measurements and interlaboratory comparisons.

U.S. car-sharing leader Zipcar will start making Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrids available to Windy City customers as part of a program with the city of Chicago that will involve the installment of "hundreds" of electric-vehicle chargers throughout the city.
Zipcar, which will charge $10 an hour for the cars, will initially add five Volts to its Chicago fleet and will add as many as 20 more by year end. 350Green is installing electric-vehicle charging stations where some of the Volts will be based.
Founded in 1999, Zipcar lets subscribers make an online reservation and swipe their membership card over a car-window sensor for access to their vehicles. The company, which went public last April with a $174.3 million IPO, said last November that it finally made a profit during the third quarter of 2011.
Smaller competitor Car2go, which is owned by Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, has also gone the plug-in route at some of its serviced cities by adding Smart ForTwo Electric Drive vehicles to the car-sharing fleet.
Members Can Now Zip Around Town on Electricity Instead of Gallons
CHICAGO, March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Zipcar, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZIP), the world's leading car sharing network, today announced the launch of the company's first large-scale electric vehicle (EV) pilot program in Chicago. Beginning today, five Chevrolet Volts are available to members by the hour, with up to 20 additional EVs to be added into the Chicago fleet during the course of 2012.
The new Zipcar EVs will be placed in pods located throughout the city, including locations on the University of Illinois at Chicago campus, as well as in the Loop, South Loop, River North, Gold Coast, Streeterville, Lincoln Park, and Albany Park. Zipcar is working with a number of partners on this program, including 350Green, which is installing the EV charging stations where the Zipcar EVs will be located. Other partners include the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Tishman Speyer, LAZ Parking and Cityfront Place Apartments, all of which are providing locations for the Zipcar EVs and charging stations in commercial and residential buildings, private parking lots and along the CTA rail system.
The first EVs to join the Zipcar Chicago fleet are five Chevrolet Volts, which are now available at Cityfront Place Apartments 400 N. McClurg Ct. and 260 E. Chestnut St. in Streeterville, 210 N. Wells St. in the Loop, and in University Village at the University of Illinois-Chicago at 915 S. Paulina St. and 701 W. Maxwell St. These vehicles are available for reservation by Zipcar members starting from just $10 per hour.
The Chevrolet Volt is a full-performance and full-speed electric vehicle with extended range, which can travel gas-free up to an EPA-estimated 35 miles, after which it shifts a gas generator which produces electricity to keep it going an additional 375 miles on a full tank of gas. Because many trips taken by Zipcar members are fewer than 35 miles, these trips taken in the Volts will be powered solely by electricity rather than fuel.
"We are looking forward to providing our Chicago Zipsters with increased opportunities to reduce their environmental impact and drive some of the most technologically-advanced vehicles on the road as we roll out this EV program over the coming months," said Charles Stephens, general manager, Zipcar Chicago. "Freedom has always been a hallmark of the Zipcar experience, and now members can have the best of both worlds – the low carbon experience of an electric car with the back-up security of a gas engine – as we introduce the new Volts into our fleet this week."
Zipcar is working with the City of Chicago and the Chicago Area Clean Cities Coalition to launch the EV program in support of the Chicago Climate Action Plan. Over the course of 2012, the City of Chicago is installing hundreds of electric vehicle charging stations for public use to help expand the EV infrastructure throughout the city. Along with this effort, the Zipcar EV program will help provide increased access to EVs and emission-free driving to car sharing members throughout the Chicago community.
To help introduce the new Chevrolet Volt EVs to Chicago Zipsters, Zipcar will hold an event on Saturday, March 31 where Chicago-area Zipcar members are invited to check out the new Volt vehicles and Zipcar members can take them for a test spin. The event will take place from 10am to 1pm at one of Zipcar's partner locations, Cityfront Place Apartments, located at 400 N. McClurg Ct. in Chicago.
Zipcar has been a pioneer in using advanced vehicle technologies, being the first car sharing company in the United States to introduce electric vehicles into its fleet with the launch of Toyota RAV4 EVs in Boston in 2002, and the first to offer hybrid vehicles in Seattle in 2003.
About Zipcar
Zipcar is the world's leading car-sharing service with approximately 673,000 members and 8,900 vehicles in urban areas and college campuses throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Zipcar offers more than 30 makes and models of self-service vehicles by the hour or day to residents and businesses looking for an alternative to the high costs and hassles of owning a car.

After years of searching locally, found a hairdresser to gently relax my hair. With a fear of hairdressers due to many disasters (basically them not knowing how to deal with massively curly hair) I went along filled with aprehension and anticipation. It all turned out well in the end though! I do have some before and after photos which I wish I could post on here...

Process Makes Perfect
Photographer Mark Sink says his current show, Mark Sink Photographs 1975-2010: Encounters With the Past, at the Byers-Evans House Gallery, isnt so much a retrospective as it is a survey of techniques hes used over the years, from lo-fi toy and Diana cameras to the colloidion wet-plate process he works with today. Although its not always obvious to the layman, process is what art photography is really all about. A mash-up of portraits, landscapes and still lifes from different periods of Sinks career, the show stays on view through October 31.
Sink will give a talk and gallery walk-through today at 11 a.m., following his own photographic timeline along the way; on October 16 from noon to 2:30 p.m., he and partner Kristin Hatgi will give a colloidial wet-plate demonstration using photos taken on site. Guests can also enter a raffle during the event, which is co-hosted by the Colorado Photographic Arts Center; the winner will have the honor of being Sinks next portrait sitter. The Byers-Evans House is at 1310 Bannock Street; both events are free. For more information, call 303-620-4933 or go to www.historycolorado.org/be.

- The iPhone 4S is not a completely new phone compared to the previous version.
- It has several wonderful new features, including Siri.
Apple's decision not to release the iPhone 5 represents the biggest news in Apple Land this month. Although Apple did send a new iPhone to market, the new iPhone had the designation "4S," not "5." That labeling represents a naming convention Apple previously employed with the "3" series of the iPhone. It likely means that sometime around the end of the first quarter of 2012, Apple will release the iPhone 5.
Although the new iPhone did not bring enough newness to the party to justify the appellation of the iPhone "5," The iPhone 4S does have some substantial improvements over its immediate predecessor, including a long-awaited memory upgrade to a maximum 64 GB, a faster processor, and an improved camera and optics; but most of the anticipated improvements will not appear until the release of the iPhone 5. The biggest improvements for the iPhone 4S come in the release of iOS 5, which came preinstalled on the 4S (and as an OS upgrade for the iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPod Touch, and some of the older iOS devices. Apple claims some 200 new or upgraded features for iOS 5; the best feature of iOS 5, Siri (the voice activated control center/concierge/personal assistant) only works with the iPhone 4S.
On the outside the iPhone 4S looks pretty much the same as the iPhone 4. It has the same physical dimensions and the cases and accessories made for the iPhone 4 should all work fine with the 4S. What does the iPhone 4S provide that the iPhone 4 cannot? Siri, up to 64 GB of memory, a faster dual core A5 processor, and an 8 GB camera with improved optics and full 1080p video capability. Apple also improved the antenna in the 4S, solving the short-circuiting issue that plagued the 4 right after its release. Additionally, Apple employed technology that allows the phone 4S to switch between dual antennas. What will wait for the iPhone 5? Likely the iPhone 5 will have a larger screen, an even faster processor, and nominal 4G connectivity, providing a faster and better Internet experience than with the currently available systems. As the iPhone 5 will probably have a larger screen, it will also have a larger case, allowing it to accommodate a larger battery. The larger battery will probably provide some improvement of MTBC (mean time between charges); but it may simply equalize the additional power requirements of the larger display.
The iPhone 4S looks pretty much the same as the Verizon version of the iPhone 4 on the outside (the Verizon version made some minor adjustments in external control location from the AT&T version, but otherwise appears the same). Size has not changed. The external design remains simple, but elegant. Unlike some who criticize Apple for not changing the design, I have no issue with that fact. We all liked it when it came out last year, and I still like it. Apple has made the iPhone 4S available in any color you want, provided you want either black or white; but they really have the white phones available if you want one.

The iPhone 4S has not suffered from any major issues respecting its performance, such as the antenna short-circuiting problems associated with the iPhone 4 (and solved by simply holding it differently or using a case). A number of users complained about unsatisfactory MTBC. Apple responded by a modification of iOS5 reported to improve battery usage. Although the modification appears to have resulted in some improvement to the battery usage, many of us still find the usage available between charges problematic; but I had the same issues with the iPhone 4. I solved the iPhone 4 battery issue by acquiring a case that sported a built-in battery, effectively doubling the usage time, putting it at a very satisfactory level. The trade off, a bulkier and heavier package made sense, given the fact that the iPhone 4 represented, for my money, the best and most desirable phone on the market, until the release of the iPhone 4S. That same battery case works on the 4S. Several manufacturers offer battery cases for the iPhone. A number of other manufacturers offer external batteries that you can connect to the iPhone and use to either run the iPhone or recharge it on the go, or both. If you use the iPhone heavily, you will likely want to acquire either an iPhone battery case or an external battery. Each has its advantages. The battery case gives you one unit to carry and will power the iPhone or recharge it without having to make a separate attachment as it connects to the power port when you put the case on the iPhone. However, it makes for a much heavier and bulkier package. The other external batteries only attach to the iPhone when you want to use them. That allows you to use the iPhone in its sleeker, more svelte form and to use one of the many attractive cases designed for the iPhone. To use them, however, you need to carry a separate device (the battery) and a cable; and while you charge or use the phone with the external battery, you must keep it connected with the cable.
While the battery issue remains a concern with the iPhone 4S, it is not one limited to the iPhone. I have had similar experiences with most other smart phones and, in fact, as the 4G systems tend to burn batteries faster, the 4G phones I have tried have had similar issues with battery life.
The addition of iOS5 brings some 200 new features to the iPhone, most of which will work with the iPhone 4, all of which work with the 4S. Many of the features work faster and better with the more powerful 4S. The most popular additional feature, Siri, works only with the iPhone 4S.
In 1984, I watched a newly released Stanley Kubrick flick called 2001: A Space Odyssey. The movie, based on an Arthur Clarke novel, featured a computer named HAL (HAL9000). Although HAL had some control issues and had developed its own mission, it presented a fascinating concept of people and computers talking to each other in plain English and actually carrying on a conversation. From the time I first saw the movie, I wanted to have the ability to talk to a computer like that. It took more than a quarter of a century, but Siri makes that a reality. The good news is that Siri is not likely to take over your iPhone and try to develop its own mission. It also has a more pleasant (to my ear) voice. Siri also proves that the folks in Cupertino have a sense of humor, as Siri has some clever quips built in as responses to many of the inane questions people have chosen to ask it. I have read many articles about people reporting on the responses that Siri gives to such questions, and there are even some who blog about it. I will spare you much of that in this column, and let you experiment with Siri on your own. I will, however, tell you that, just to be safe, I asked Siri if she was related to the HAL 9000 and Siri responded "Everyone knows what happened to HAL; I'd rather not talk about that. But, if you insist (and Siri then provided a link to search the web for information about HAL). When I asked Siri "Who's the fairest of them all," Siri responded: "Snow White is the fairest of them all." In addition to its entertainment value, you will discover that Siri has the ability to work ably as your assistant and provide you with useful information, make calendar and contract entries, set reminders, send text messages, and many other things. To give you an idea of what Siri can do for you, I asked Siri for the location of the best pizza in Oakland, California. Siri responded with a list of 14 pizza restaurants in Oakland, sorted by rating, giving me distance and linking to a map providing directions as to location for each of them.
I do not have space available to discuss or even list all of the new features in iOS5 here. In addition to Siri, my two favorite improvements, however, are the Notification Center, which provides you with updates and notifications of important information from your calendar, missed messages and other things; and the Reminders app that adds reminders to the iOS devices, a piece of the calendar package not previously included. If you want to learn more about the new features in iOS5, check it out at Apple's website.
Although the iPhone 4S did not have all the new features many of us had hoped for, it did offer enough improvement over the iPhone 4 to keep the iPhone at the top of the smart phone list. The improved camera features make the iPhone one of the best, if not the best cameraphone on the market. The utilization of a new system that allows the antenna to switch intelligently from transmission to receipt of data has improved the download speed and made the Internet experience better. The doubling of the maximum memory from 32 GB to 64 GB is a very welcome upgrade, as 32 GB proved somewhat restrictive in terms of storing everything I wanted to have on my iPhone. The upgrade of the processor to the dual-core A5 processor that Apple used on the iPad 2 also improved the speed and performance characteristics. Those improvements, plus the fact that with the release of iOS5, the iPhone 4S acquired the ability to interact with the user through the Siri program (which only works with the 4S) makes the iPhone 4S my personal choice for the best smart phone on the market, even if it is not the iPhone 5 we hoped to see. I have one, I have found it very satisfactory, and I do not hesitate to recommend it. Should you wait for the iPhone 5? That is a personal decision. I chose to go ahead and get the 4S for myself on the theory that there will always be a newer and better version coming out later, and you can always wait for that or enjoy the features of what you can get now. I chose to enjoy the features of the 4S. Undoubtedly, I will also choose to enjoy the features of the iPhone 5 when Apple releases it next year, and I will pass the 4S along to someone in my family when I get the iPhone 5.

Fogged up windows
New 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland owner with trouble already. After it rains, the inside of the windows (all of them) are full of condensation and the car is undrivable until it defogs for about 20 minutes. Dealer says he has never seen it before. Can someone help please?:mad::mad:
Re: Fogged up windows
Check for wet carpeting and look under the front seats in those compartments (pass side is battery) for water. Also check spare tire area for water. Turn off radio & drive slowly apply brakes quickly and listen for sloshing water. The sun roof has been known to not drain properly and the AC condensation drain not properly draining to the outside.
Re: Fogged up windows
what were you doing in the back seat during a rain storm :) lol yea my 12 has this sometimes although its savannah ga so its 110 one second pouring rain the other and humidity is 100%
Re: Fogged up windows
Thanks for the help........Turned out the drain for the AC was clogged and not draining. All better now. Thanks again for putting me in the right direction
Re: Fogged up windows
I've been seeing these posts regarding poor drainage and water accumulation. Is this being seen mainly in 2014's? How common is it in the previous wk2 years?
Re: Fogged up windows
It's been happening since '11 MY to the best of my knowledge. It doesn't seem to be a real common issue, but it is happening, and a known issue.

Somali PM vows to defeat rebels in 90 days
By Mohamed Ahmed and Ibrahim Mohamed
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's prime minister pledged to crush a four-year Islamist insurgency within three months on Tuesday as his troops backed by African peacekeepers seized new rebel positions in the capital Mogadishu.
Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed told government-run Radio Mogadishu that government forces were well prepared to tackle the militants but it was unclear if his comments marked the start of a second phase of a nationwide offensive.
Regional powers and donors have in the past few weeks slammed the slow pace of political reform and security gains across the country, as the interim government and parliament near the end of their mandate.
Political analysts say this month's military surge against al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab militants might be politically motivated as leaders seek to restore reputations.
"Our forces have made tangible advances in their recent fighting against al Shabaab and hopefully we will eliminate them and end the conflict within 90 days," Mohamed said.
Somalia's military commander General Abdikarim Farah said fighting raged on in Mogadishu's northern districts while government troops were also advancing on rebel positions in southern Somalia.
Neighbouring Kenya sent troops just across its border with the lawless Horn of Africa nation to support Somali troops engaging insurgents in the strategically important town of Dobley, several military and security sources told Reuters.
They also said Kenya continued to deploy reinforcements along the desert frontier where residents reported heavy exchanges of artillery fire between rebels, Somali forces and their allied militia. Continued...

Solo Printing Purchases Second Five-Color Komori System 38S Web Press
ROLLING MEADOWS, IL—March 13, 2014—Komori America, a premier manufacturer of sheetfed and web offset printing presses, today announced that Solo Printing in Miami, has purchased its second fully automated five-color System 38S web press. Solo Printing serves the retail, communications and electronics industries printing brochures, publications, self-mailers, catalogs and a variety of other materials. Extremely satisfied with the advanced automation of the six-color System 38S installed several years ago, Solo chose to retire a competitive press in favor of a second Komori System 38S web press, which now makes Solo Printing an all Komori facility.
"We have been extremely happy with our Komori's presses, both sheetfed and web," said Manny Hernandez, president of Solo Printing. "Komori designs presses with such advanced automation it is hard to find anything on the market that competes. Our first Komori System 38S sliced turnaround time in half. Having two in operation is going to dramatically increase our production capabilities. We continually need quicker turnaround at a better price that we can pass on to our customers—and once again, we believe Komori is the answer."
With automatic plate changing capabilities, closed-loop color, inline aqueous and gluing, many of Solo Printing's applications can be printed and assembled in one quick operation. Its KHS-AI interface system supports the need to minimize paper waste and allows for more efficient plant operations, supporting Solo Printing's sustainability goals.
"Solo Printing continues to grow because it focuses on how to deliver what today's customers demand," noted Jacki Hudmon, senior vice president of sales for Komori America. "The System 38S is perfect for such a customer-focused business. We are proud to have Solo Printing in the Komori family."

Emergency preparedness has come a long way, officials say
But there's always room to improve
Ventura County Sheriff Bob Brooks, Director of the Center for Asymmetric Warfare David Banks, National Transportation Safety board member Steve Chealander and Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten were on the panel. R. Duke Blackwood, director of the Reagan Library, was the moderator.
About 220 business leaders listened to the panelists speak on how businesses can prepare for a natural catastrophe or a terrorist attack.
"We take security and preparedness very seriously at the library," Blackwood said.
Remaining vigilant and taking personal responsibility for preparedness were common themes.
He reminded the crowd that Reagan once said, "We are only one generation from losing our freedom."
Chealander, formerly a pilot and safety chief, is now one of five NTS board members who are responsible for safety for the traveling public.
Beginning on Sept. 12, 2001, immediately after the terrorist attacks that killed about 3,000 people, airlines began doing what they should have done before, he said.
Cockpit doors were reinforced to make them bulletproof. The doors were secured with coded entry pads. Pilots were armed with handguns. More air marshals were added to flights.
Passengers have had their patience tested, with restrictions on what they can carry on planes and long lines at metal detectors.
"We're getting better and better equipment and becoming more efficient," he said.
Most importantly, the country has changed the way its citizens act, and Chealander said he hopes Americans will never forget how important it is to be on guard.
"We have a very short attention span," Banks said.
Banks works at Point Mugu within the Naval Postgraduate School that provides research to increase combat effectiveness for the U.S. military.
He compared the war on terrorism to a football game where one team plays by the rules, but the other team follows no rules and uses guns, pipes and knives.
Banks listed terrorists as coming in four varieties—international, domestic, those who are nuts and Mother Nature. He said it takes four agencies under one commander to go to war. To deal with the war on terror locally, 42 agencies with different leaders must come together and are expected to get by with less money while being asked to do more.
Banks told business leaders to consider what they would do if a catastrophe happened and the ambulances didn't come. He suggested they prepare for that scenario.
Brooks noted he'd been to Israel, where he visited a successful mall that spent 26 percent of their gross budget on security— bomb dogs, automatic weapons and metal detectors.
Then he asked, "How prepared are we?" A 72-hour kit isn't enough, he said.
For more information, go to www.ready.gov, Brooks said.

Challenging Mathematically Gifted Primary Students
Diezmann, Carmel M. (2005) Challenging Mathematically Gifted Primary Students. Australasian Journal of Gifted Education, 14(1), pp. 50-57.
|Accepted Version (PDF 336kB)
Mathematically gifted students and students with learning difficulties in mathematics differ substantively. However, they are both "at risk" of underachieving in mathematics without an adequately challenging learning environment. This paper explores the characteristics of the mathematically gifted and the implications of these characteristics for curriculum and instruction. It also presents a range of strategies that have been successfully used in regular classrooms to provide the cognitive challenge needed by mathematically gifted students. These strategies include (1) problematising tasks by inserting obstacles to the solution, limiting problem information or requiring students to use particular representations or solution strategies; (2) implementing mathematical investigations to encourage students to apply and create mathematical knowledge in posing and solving novel problems; (3) extending manipulative use to capitalise on visual-spatial or kinaesthetic representations and to support higher-level thinking; and (4) modifying educational games to provide rich mathematical and social learning opportunities. The inclusion of these strategies should contribute to the provision of high quality learning opportunities for the mathematically gifted.

I realize you are a civil engineer. That's why I figured you'd be a bit more educated on the subject.
If towns, villages, cities, and the state didn't think that these bike paths or rail trails were of importance to them, they wouldn't spend the time to either gravel or pave them. These aren't political statements to be green, nobody commutes on a rail trail, it's a tourist trap. It's a way to generate recreational revenue. You want to tax beach users too?
As for city installed cycle paths for commuters these again are for weekend recreational users and weekly commuters, paid for by property taxes.
You want to tax me for owning a bike? Sure, I'll pay taxes for owning a bike, just as soon as you are taxed for your guns, four wheelers, jeeps, fishing poles, bow, hockey sticks (imagine all the emissions an ice rink puts out trying to keep the ice frozen), chainsaw, etc.
You try to force people to find a greener alternative to the car to commute, then try to force a tax on it?
Or on the flip side are you ok with taxing recreation? I pay for access to the trails I ride just the same as an ORV user or Snowmobile does. I either have to purchase a daily pass to the state parks, a yearly pass, or the same for a private park, city park, county park......

To be perfectly exact, it was big data from cheap phones that made it there as smartphone prices have finally dropped to low-enough levels to make them truly massive. This has huge implications for society. For instance, data from phones in a region in Kenya allowed to better understand the reason for malaria spreading around and contain it in the future.
Smartwatches on the other hand have been around for a while, but in 2013 with the launch of the Pebble they are starting to get some momentum they lacked previously. With Bluetooth 4.0 with its low energy profile and in a combination with a smartphone, one might just realize that smartphones may help our lives without ever leaving our pockets.
The other 8 breakthrough technologies of 2013 were deep learning, temporary social media with self-destructing messages, pre-natal DNA sequencing, additive manufacturing, Baxter: the blue-collared robot, memory implants, ultra-efficient solar power and supergrids.

Real Madrid squeaked through to the UEFA Champions League semifinal on Tuesday following a 3-2 aggregate win against Borussia Dortmund after two games. Los Blancos went into Tuesday's second-leg in Dortmund with a seemingly comfortable 3-0 lead following the first game in Madrid, but two first-half goals from BVB forward Marco Reus following an Angel Di Maria penalty miss made for a nervous finale.
"We're happy to reach the semis, but not happy as we suffered a lot," Real coach Carlo Ancelotti told reporters
after Tuesday's 2-0 loss. "Especially in the first half. We opened the tie up again. We were better in the second half. Football is like that, we gave away gifts, lots of errors, no
confidence, and we suffered because of it." The Italian singled out goalkeeper Iker Casillas for praise. "Casillas made fantastic save in important moment of game. His game was
very, very good. All games at this stage are very difficult. We are fortunate to be through to the semi-finals."
In an interview with AS, Real captain Casillas tried to look on the
bright side: "The positive thing is that we've learnt to suffer in these games," he said, before adding: "These errors cannot happen in semifinals." Read the original story...

Lying on his back, screaming in pain and staring up into the sun last Thursday, April 28, Aspen's Nick DeVore kept mistaking airplanes for the rescue helicopter. "Is that the heli?! Nope, it's just another jet," says DeVore, recalling his delirium.
When the helicopter did arrive—some two hours after DeVore snapped his left femur in a small wet-slab avalanche near Taylor Pass, a remote backcountry locale south of Aspen and north of Crested Butte—a paramedic from the Flight for Life team asked him what his pain level was on a scale from 1 to 10. "Four thousand," DeVore replied.
"I wasn't kidding," says DeVore, later. "The scapula was nothing compared to this. I mean, I was screaming at the top of my lungs the whole time."
Following surgery to repair, with rods, screws and bolts, his femur, DeVore spent four days recovering at Aspen Valley Hospital. He'd lost a lot of blood, he says, and doctors closely monitored his condition in the event that he needed a transfusion (he didn't). Still, he was back to eating sushi the night after the accident and, though diminished and pale, his sense of humor seemed to remain intact.
"I'm probably not the right guy to talk about the safety message," says DeVore, chuckling. "But I'll answer your questions and give you my thoughts on it."
What follows is a debriefing in DeVore's words about his accident in the M&M Chutes. DeVore's partners that day were three fellow Aspenites: Jake Sakson, a fellow Powderwhores tele skier and EMT; Chris Hendrickson; and Ian McLendon, who had recently skied the Landry Line on Pyramid Peak with DeVore.
"At first I wanted to go home from the hospital, but then I realized they were taking pretty good care of me. Just so many electronics in the room, beeping and buzzing, and I'm not too down with that, but it was a good place to recover and they took great care of me."
"I'd skied Pyramid the other day and I'd been psyched to ski some more big lines. But the storms kept rolling in. Thursday came along—first bluebird day in a long time—and we knew there was high avalanche danger, so we went out to the M&M Chutes. They're short, but steep."
"I was up there with my friend Jake and he's been to AK before. And it's like, when you've skied huge lines with big exposure, these little lines aren't as scary—if something rips out, you can just out ski it. We saw a large fracture avalanche on one of the chutes nearby, from the day before I think. But it was beautiful. I even remember Ian and Chris, down at the bottom, they radioed up: 'Are you guys gonna dig a pit?' And we said, 'No, we're just gonna send it.'"
"Some of the lines are going to be sliding, and that's an element we're used to. I mean, the avalanche here was something that would be called 'manageable sluff' in Alaska. … So we all skied one run, no worries, and the snow was thick and buttery. Then we went to these steeper lines that were slightly more east-facing and had a cornice drop to get in. It was wind-loaded and had been kinda sun baked. It was really kind of obvious. And that's the case every time I'm in a situation like this—it is obvious. All the signs were there beforehand. I even kinda knew beforehand, just kind of neglected it."
"I hate to be saying it like this, but after skiing a couple thousand vert lines, when you get on top of 500 to 800-foot lines, it's not as as exciting. You just feel like if it does rip out you can just ski out of it and avoid it and be faster than it. So because of the size of the line and the lack of gnarliness there, we sort of overlooked potential hazards."
"That's how skiing the backcountry and life in general goes, right when you start to overlook the hazards or think you're you're bigger than that or can handle that, that's when accidents happen. … Your confidence level maxes out and you forget you're just a small thing in the big natural world. That confidence is also the thing that drives skiing and other sports. But when confidence level gets too high you also forget about the dangers."
"Dropping in, it was a snow type that I didn't expect. It ripped and it was almost like a mud slide; sucked my ankles into it. I was almost able to ski out of it. I was trying to battle it. I watched Go Pro footage of it and it happened so fast. I wasn't able to turn away."
"The crown was 6 to 18 inches max, just the new recent storm snow. It probably fell as a few feet of snow and had baked down to that. It felt like there was a fairly hard icier layer under that. … The chute sort of doglegs to the right, but the fall line went right to a protruding cliff. I knew the rock was there and I was hoping I was just gonna miss it—my vision was obscured—but I didn't. I pretty much hip-checked the cliff. I thought I broke my hip. I just smacked it."
"I definitely got a lack of info about it from the doctors. I didn't get a very good characterization about the injury, but basically broken femur. And it was pretty bad, it was pinching my femoral artery. And I felt that out there. And instead of sticking out, compound fracture style, it went in toward my inner thigh."
"I think the doctors were trying to not stress me out, because my blood levels were low, so I think they were trying to keep me calm. But I've had so many people come in and be like, 'It only takes eight minutes if you break your femoral artery for you to bleed out and die.' It was sorta funny to see all the ways people were freaking out—and freaking me out—later on."
"I don't really know if I broke my femural artery. I don't think so. I lost a ton a blood, I became anemic and another doctor-word they were using, but basically my blood was really diluted and my red blood cell count was less than 50 percent of what it normally is."
"I knew I had broken my hip or something, but I was battling the slide, I was tomahawked, then head down, and that was really scary, then head first. I totally lost control in the avalanche. But then I was on my feet and back and swimming down this mudslide. As the slope started to get less steep, I felt it slow down, and I just kept both of my hands free and I was moving snow away from my face. I had a nice face pocket."
"It's interesting watching the Go Pro footage because I wasn't really freaking out, but there I was, stuck, up to my neck. I wasn't really feeling the pain yet. Both my skis were still on, and my feet were torqued in an awkward position. Chris was on a snowmobile and he high-marked up super quick and shoveled me out, but he wasn't in a serious hurry because I could breath and talk to him. The first thing—and I only know this from the Go Pro—he said was, 'Are you OK?' And I said 'Not really. I'm pretty sure my hip's broken.'"
"I already have some hospital bills I'm dealing with from the last injury, so at first I was thinking about trying to get out on the snowmobiles, trying to do it ourselves. But the guys talked some sense into me, and I realized I needed to get out of there as soon as possible. And while I was trying not to think about the bad possibilities, I was thinking about my friend E.J.; he'd broken his leg and he ended up having his leg amputated below his knee. And that got me really scared. … I don't know exactly how the rescue coordination ended up panning out. Chris and Ian took turns sledding around trying to find cell service, and they had a hard time with it. … Eventually they arranged the Flight for Life. But before that, we weren't really sure."
"I couldn't move at all; insane amount of pain. I felt like my artery was being pinched and cut. And I was getting really cold lying on the snow. The main thing we were doing was trying to keep me warm; putting skins and everything else underneath me, digging out the snow beneath me putting stuff in between me and the snow."
"Jake knew what to do and was using all the resources there—the Go Pro strap, the skins, everything. His main goal first was to get us out of the avalanche zone, because it was just warming up more. But we ended up staying right there because I really couldn't move. We eventually got me out of this sitting position. When one of these spasms would happen, they'd just move me then because the pain was so bad it couldn't hurt any more than it already did."
"The heli showed up two hours after the accident. And it was like the biggest relief when they got there. They got an IV going and pumped me up with morphine. … In the moment it's hard to realize how serious it is. I mean, I knew it was serious, I was in serious pain, but it's kind of hard to remember that pain when you're not it anymore. But a lot of people have told me how lucky I am. I mean, I could've been buried, I could've bled out more, the heli might not have been able to fly, and if I'd been out there a half-hour longer who knows what would've happened. All that makes me realize how lucky I am to be put back in one piece and healing. But at the same time, I probably would've been fine if it wasn't for that rock and we probably would've just skied some more runs."
"I probably gave my mom and sister heart attacks. They're doing OK, but they're pretty shaken up and still worried about me. My mom just came in and said I'm looking pretty pale. It was a scary thing for them. I think for my sister, Katrina, too, with all the events of the past month, it's been pretty hard for her. She's definitely over skiing for the winter. You can get to that point, you know—just hang 'em up, call it quits while you're ahead."
Epilogue: The unsung heroes in all this are, as usual, the rescue responders. In this case, that's Flight for Life's Lifeguard 2 crew—based out of St. Anthony Summit Medical Center in Frisco, Colo.—of Lorin Courtney (pilot), Maureen Maledon (flight nurse) and Tag Hopkins (flight paramedic). "It was an extraodinary rescue," one Flight for Life official told Powder.com. "Mountain Rescue Aspen was still a few hours away, so we were the only responders." Added flight nurse Maledon, "I'm so glad to hear he's doing well. He may not even think it, but Nick was very, very lucky that day."

InformationThe 746 is a quintessential British retro telephone and 1960s design icon. Launched in 1967 by the general post office in response to public demand, it would inspire two decades of conversation and is, to this day, the universal symbol of the phone. Known as the 'modern phone', it was a welcome redesign to the popular 706 model. In celebration of this great British icon, this re-edition maintains the bold curves of the original design in striking contrasting colours of mustard and cream. For modern convenience, the dial has been replaced by buttons without detracting from the outer bezel design.
