Aspen Skiing Co. general counsel Dave Bellack announced Monday that he is stepping down later this month, with plans to ski a 100-plus-day season this winter while contemplating a new career move.
Bellack, 54, pointed to a 32-year legal career in the state — nearly 19 with SkiCo — and said he is ready for a change.
"The way I think of it, you can't do things forever," Bellack said, adding that having two grown children off to college has also motivated him to make a life change.
He's not sure what his next move would be, but Bellack said he is unlikely to return to work as an attorney in private practice.
The only immediate plans are to attempt to ski 100 days this winter — a feat he accomplished once before — and "think about what I want to do in the future, which may be nothing," Bellack said.
He added that he has been "successful" with the SkiCo, but there was no place else to go within the organization, as he already had the title of senior vice president. Current CEO Mike Kaplan is still young and isn't going anywhere, Bellack said.
As a career highlight, Bellack didn't hesitate in citing the design, approval and sale of the Snowmass Base Village project. Aspen Skiing Co. was an early partner in the deal before selling to Related WestPac, now known as Related Colorado.
"It was a great accomplishment, along with the rest of the team," Bellack said.
The project hit a snag during the recession, and construction that stopped on a major portion of the village has yet to restart.
Base Village will eventually be finished and will be recognized as a huge benefit, he said.
Serving as chairman on the boards of the Aspen Valley Land Trust, the Buddy Program and Colorado Ski Country USA has also been rewarding, Bellack said.
Prior to working for SkiCo, Bellack was an assistant city attorney for the city of Aspen, and was a partner at a law firm in Denver.
Bellack said he first began discussing a potential change with Kaplan in March. No successor has been picked, and the job will be posted to the public, SkiCo spokesman Jeff Hanle said. SkiCo keeps one other attorney on staff.
Bellack's last day will be Sept. 20.

About MeLike me - http://www.facebook.com/allynlewisfanpage

Follow me - https://twitter.com/allyn_lewis
Hey there..
I'm currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh. I have many years of modeling experience in print, runway, promotional modeling, etc. Full modeling resume available upon request. I'm very friendly, upbeat, outgoing, and creative. I am always up for trying something new and unique. I love performing and being in from of a crowd or the camera. I have a very strong dance background including ballet, jazz, modern, and hip-hop training.
Currently, I'm only doing a very limited selection of TF shoots. If you have a spectacular idea, please feel free to share it with me and if it is unlike anything I have ever done before, I would love to work with you. Unless a prior agreement has been made, at minimum, I ask for a reasonable fee for travel and planning expenses. I may also request an initial deposit prior to the shoot to hold the booking as I have had a number of individuals cancel last minute or not show up to a shoot. Please message or email me for details and rates. Again, I am very easy to work with, the above fees are merely for professional and accountability purposes (plus I will make it worth your while to work together [= ).
About me:
A dual-threat in the worlds of modeling and dance, Allyn Lewis is flexing her mental muscles attending classes at the University of Pittsburgh where she is majoring in neuroscience and psychology with a minor in dance.
She has modeled for a wide-variety of boutiques, designers, and businesses in the Pittsburgh area, including Jupe, Crazy Hot Clothes, MJ Whalen, Nina VanSuch, Jacqueline's Salon,
American Eagle, Eve's Boutique and many more. No stranger to working the runway, Allyn is currently preparing for her second appearance at Pittsburgh Fashion Week and just recently modeled for Pittsburgh's Fashion's Night Out. She will also be gracing the runway at Battle of the Designers and Mid-West Fashion Week among other shows within the upcoming months. I will also be modeling for a few shows coming up in Cleveland, Ohio. I am looking forward to traveling and branching out of the Pittsburgh area!
Allyn isn't shy when it comes to discussing just how she ended up in the local modeling industry. "I had a really hard time going through some personal issues while in high school and I found that modeling made me feel so strong and powerful and beautiful," says Allyn. Not hiding from those emotions and experiences has helped Allyn stay focused as she continues to advance her modeling career.
Working the runway requires a special type of grace and Allyn has it in spades. Her background in dance has helped give her a strong foundation as she continues to add modeling to her already impressive resume. She spent much of her time growing up training at the well-known Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School as well as the Pittsburgh Youth Ballet. She also took part in not one but two intensive summer programs put on by the distinguished American Ballet Theater.
So why should you be keeping your eyes on Allyn Lewis? The answer is simple: The blonde hair, green-eyed vixen is driven and determined to succeed. She has a gift for combining beauty and ambition and matching that with attitude, determination and brains!

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Yes, the symptoms you are experiencing could be due to anxiety/depression elicited by grieving. While it is normal to experience some of this during the grief process, if it goes on (consistently) for longer than a few months, worsens, and/or dramatically interferes with your ability to attend to your day to day life, it is important that you seek professional help. Certainly if you have thoughts of suicide, it is also important to seek help right away.
Many times a normal grief process can turn into a longer-standing depression, so it might be useful to monitor your symptoms closely and/or enlist the help of a friend or family member to tell you if they see things getting worse for you.
Some people find it helpful to seek counseling and/or a support group during grieving so as to have an outlet and a place to let out whatever emotions come up. Having this kind of outlet might help relieve some of your anxiety symptoms- usually anxiety occurs when we hold in emotions, so letting them out in a safe place/way might help.

Cash Central Rude and Disrespectful North Logan Utah
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Cash Central are very rude and disrespectful. I took out a 300.00 loan from Cash Central. I forgot to make sure that the money was in my account due to trying to make burial arrangements for my son. During that busy week trying to make burial arrangement, I received a call from one of the representative and tried to explain to her what happened. Then, I asked her to let me make payment arrangement. She said, "The payment was returned before you buried your son." I was stunned by that comment and I couldn't do anything but scream to the top of my lungs. Then, I hung up the phone. Later, I called back and spoke with Robin and Cody. They were so helpful through my grieving time. I was able to make payment arrangements and now the loan is paid in full. How can that MAGGOT make a comment to someone who just buried her son? I will never do business with them again. I know Cash Central didnt reprimand her, because I called back one day to make sure my loan was paid in full and she answered the phone like she didnt have a care in the world. I couldn't stand to listen to her voice. I hung up the phone in her face. Today, I am still upset. Not one time did Cash Central apologize on her behalf. They knew about it, because I emailed them several times as well as chatted with them online. Please don't do business with this company. Robin and Cody always stay true to yourself. You two have amazing customer service skills. Keep up the good work.

text: My father was diagnosed 15 months ago with dementia, alzheimers and picks disease and the speed of deterioration has been frightning. After going into hospital with a urine infection in the space of 2 days he went from being able to eat/drink normally to refusing most of the time. There have been numerous tests and there is no physical reason why he can't swallow and I have read that it is part of the last stages.In 8 weeks he lost 3 stone. As a family we made a decision that my 70 yr old mother could not cope looking after him and we found a fantastic care home for him. However, he has continued to refuse a lot of food/drink and in the last 2 days has refused all food/drink. The care home have asked us to make a decision whether we want him to go to hospital to go on a drip. The move back to hospital I know that my dad would find traumatic and part of me realises that it would repeatedly happen. Hwever, if we say no to hospital we all feel that we are effectively condeming him to death. I wonder if anyone else has similar experiences.

CLEARWATER — Bill Shaffer, who coaches the swim programs at Academy of the Holy Names and Jesuit, expected both teams to do well at the Class 2A, Region 3 meet.
After all, the Jaguars had won four straight girls region team titles, and the Tigers boys had five in a row.
Still, the performance both teams had Friday morning at the Long Center exceeded even Shaffer's expectations.
Academy of the Holy Names won with 557 points, 334 more than second-place Sunlake. Jesuit had 510 points, outscoring Robinson and Lakewood, which tied for the runnerup spot with 175.
"It was just an unbelievable meet by everyone involved," Shaffer said.
Every AHN and Jesuit swimmer set a personal record in his or her events, and the teams combined to sweep every relay.
The Jaguars had the better results of the two teams. School records were set in individual events by Olivia Kirkpatrick in the 50 free (24.27), Alex Nuyianes in the 200 individual medley (2:05.76) and Shae Timmons in the 100 breast (1:07.10).
Kirkpatrick and Nuyianes also teamed with Margaret Shumake and Julia Cogdill to set a school record in the 200 medley relay (1:51.34). Clare Fleming won the 200 free in 1:59.89, five-tenths of a second from setting the AHN record in the event.
With such fast times, Shaffer said the Jaguars could contend for the Class 2A state team title.
Sunlake's girls followed up their first district title with the school's first runnerup finish at a region meet. The Seahawks were led by Kara Wilkins, who was second in the 100 back (59.66) and third in the 100 fly (1:00.49).
Pinellas County's top girls performer was Tarpon Springs' diver Kelly Gallagher, who won with 326.05 points.
On the boys side, the Tigers' Austin Sellers won the 200 IM in 1:56.13 and the 100 breast in a school-record 58.38. Sellers also swam legs on the winning 200 medley (1:42.78) and 200 free (1:30.77) relay teams.
The Spartans, who won their first boys district title in 21 years last week, took home their first runnerup trophy from a region meet.
"I'm flabbergasted with how well the boys did," Lakewood coach James Kostka said. "None of us thought we would finish this high. I'm going to have to text the guys on the team to let them know we finished second because they've all left."
Noah Harasz was the big point scorer for the Spartans with first-place finishes in the 100 free (46.52) and 200 free (1:42.89). Lakewood's other champion was Cody Nipper in the 100 fly (55.50).
Pasco County's top boy was Ridgewood's Emir Muratovic, who was second in the 50 free (21.61).

PASADENA >> City officials are considering a plan that will raise electricity costs over the next three years for residents and businesses by varying amounts.
The proposed increase will be voted on in May or June and take effect July 1, officials said. Users will see an average monthly increase of 8.3 percent on their bill.
City Councilman Terry Tornek said the increase shouldn't be cause for alarm.
"The actual impact on people's bills is pretty modest. We are talking about four or five bucks a month to a lot of people," Tornek said. "The percentages look significant, but the actual dollar cost is pretty minimal."
The money generated by the increase is intended to pay for infrastructure improvements and offset the city's cost of purchased power, a Pasadena Water and Power spokeswoman said.
"These rate increases are very thoughtful, we don't do this unless it's absolutely necessary, and the increases are really to ensure that we can meet the established goals of the City Council and the community with regard to renewable energy, and making sure the system is safe and reliable," said Shari Thomas, assistant general manager for finance and administration for PWP. "We are really trying as hard as we can to make sure they are reasonable and they are moderate. Our objective is not to put any increases out there that would be a financial difficulty for our customers."
City officials anticipate spending $25.6 million on infrastructure projects in 2015, $21.6 million in 2016 and $20.9 million in 2017. The $132 million Glenarm Power plant revamp is not included in those figures. That project is largely funded by bond money.
Thomas said the city plans to increase its reliance on renewable energy sources from 25 percent to 40 percent by 2020. That energy will cost more than the nonrenewable sources, like coal, the city uses now.
The increases were the topic of discussion at a council study session Monday night and will be the subject of several more information sessions before the council makes its final decision.
"Everybody is going to be paying more," Councilman Terry Tornek said. "It's just a question of how much more."
Tornek said the increases were a necessary part of running the utility and were also necessary to comply with new state legislation that requires the city to make changes to the distribution charge so it is more "equitable."
"I think it's an inevitable step, and I think it is positive in the sense that it will make the funds available to invest in the infrastructure we need, and it will be more equitable," Tornek said. "I think it's important that people feel they are being charged on a fair basis."
Thomas said PWP plans to embark on a campaign to educate residents and businesses about the proposed increases.
Councilman Steve Madison said he thought the rate increases were needed but asked PWP staff to come back with more complete and comprehensive information about the proposed rate increases and the bill structure at future meetings so residents could more easily understand.
"I think we need to have clearer information, we need to make the composition of our costs and of our rates more transparent and accessible so that the rate payers really understand what their rates are composed of and how and why," Madison said.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Backstreet Cafe The recipe for a successful brunch should include the following: excellent food (particularly egg dishes), great drinks, great atmosphere, live jazz and stellar service. Backstreet Cafe delivers on all of these. Plus, you have a choice of where you'd like to enjoy the best meal of the week: indoors in a transitional covered patio area, or outdoors on a gorgeous patio shaded by lots of old trees. Wherever you sit, the cares and pressures of the last few days will disappear as quickly as the mimosas. Freshly baked scones and muffins arrive the minute you're seated. Specialty brunch cocktails like apple-rum tea and smooth brandy-milk punch help to set the mood for the food, which includes such spectacular dishes as lump crab cakes with eggs, brioche French toast, gingerbread waffles and red pepper polenta with andouille sausage, spinach and poached eggs. Pity Sunday comes but once a week.
Byzantio Cafe Ilias Giannakopoulos gutted his house on West Gray to make room for the European flourishes omnipresent in this hip new cafe, where he and partner Dora Manolopoulos keep the Greek tradition of hospitality alive day after day. Inside you'll find a smorgasbord of Hellenic delights: stuffed grape leaves, fresh olives, sliced meats and feta, feta, feta. But it ain't the food that makes Byzantio the best new cafe; it's the atmosphere, where wood meets stone meets some random Greek guy yelling about something. Welcome to Europe in the middle of the Montrose. The place changes faces once the sun goes down; the music starts pumping, and maybe, just maybe, the patrons start dancing on the bar. Hey, it's a Greek thing.
Cafe Brasil The perfect microcosm of Montrose, Cafe Brasil does it all. It has great ambience, a lively, diverse crowd and surprisingly good food. The scones, baked on-site every morning, are miracles of flaky, buttery deliciousness. It's one of the few places in town where you can order an inexpensive, top-notch salad, and the beer flows as freely as the coffee. Housed in an old brick storefront with vintage windows, Brasil hosts wooden tables brimming with professors, chat groups and mysterious, bearded bohemians. The lime-green walls, leafy patio and chic blue tile-work of the bar give the place a classy, vaguely Latin American feel. On certain nights, Brasil even screens classic and foreign films. But don't let the cosmopolitan trappings fool you: One taste of the eggs and crawfish étouffée, and you'll agree this popular hangout is a Bayou City classic.
Da Marco You'll get the best pizza and pasta dishes in the city at this intimate and unassuming little Montrose restaurant. And you'll also find cutting-edge fare such as tuna tartare salad and an appetizer of cold lamb's-tongue slices served with the Tuscan mustard-brined fruits known as mostarda. Some of the unusual varieties of fish, such as the branzino (Italian sea bass) are jet-flown in from Italy. Chef Marco Wiles strives to offer Houstonians the same kind of new Italian cuisine that Food Network boy wonder Mario Batali serves at Babbo, one of New York's favorite restaurants. The wine list is just as innovative as the food, with lots of crisp Proseccos and unusual Piedmont reds. Daily specials take advantage of local seasonal ingredients, such as the fresh fig compote with gelato. And the service is exceptionally well informed, attentive and cordial -- unless you ask for spaghetti and meatballs.
Becks Prime If you really want your burger your way -- say, mooing on the inside, black on the outside -- this is your place. Huge juicy beef patties -- made with a half-pound of mesquite-grilled, ground chuck -- as well as fresh toppings make this one of the best burgers in town. Thick fries and forget-the-diet milk shakes complete the experience. Pricey, yes, and don't expect to drive through too quickly. The folks at Becks Prime may think they're a fast-food place, but the meals are mouthwatering, and that takes a little time. Feel like being healthy? The grilled chicken sandwiches are great. And where else can you grab a steak or swordfish sandwich without getting out of your car?
Captain Benny's Half Shell Oyster Bar This small tugboat-shaped eatery, nestled almost out of sight off South Main, is a happy docking place for a diverse array of diners with a lust for crustaceans and other fare from la mer. Folks know that if it's fried or on the half-shell, it's fresh. And just a glance at the clientele proves there's a seafood fan in all of us: A diverse group of patrons converges here. You'll find folks in Sunday-go-to-meetin' duds, business suits, punk dos and tattoos, all united by their love for Captain Benny's seafood. And the management recently added broiled entrées to the lineup, so health-minded customers have been showing up in their gym clothes, too.

Far-right row topples Austrian coalition
Austria's governing coalition has collapsed, triggered by a bitter internal row in the far-right Freedom Party.
Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel announced that his conservative People's Party was pulling out of its coalition with the Freedom Party, paving the way for early elections before the end of the year.
The Freedom Party has been wracked by a row over tax cuts, sparking the resignation of three ministers, including Vice-Chancellor Susanne Riess-Passer.
The row has split the party between charismatic ex-leader Joerg Haider - who wants the tax cuts as originally planned - and the party's senior government ministers, who have accepted that the cuts need to be delayed after August's devastating floods.
The current parliament is expected to be dissolved on 19 September. Elections are likely to follow on either 17 or 24 November.
After the resignation of his ministers, Mr Schuessel could, in theory, have replaced them with other Freedom Party members.
But most Austrian media reports on Monday had predicted that he would go to the polls.
"I won't put up with this. It's over," the tabloid Kronen Zeitung quoted him as saying.
Power struggle
The row was being seen as a defining moment in the struggle for power within the Freedom Party.
The populist but highly controversial Mr Haider officially stepped down as leader in March 2000, but remains hugely popular with rank-and-file members. He has remained as governor of the Austrian province of Carinthia.
Ms Riess-Passer, who took over as party leader, had been seen as a more acceptable public face for the party. She has now resigned the leadership as well as her cabinet post.
Some analysts believe that Mr Haider himself will attempt to win back the leadership, so he can set the party back on a more radical course.
Mr Haider gained support for his current battle from 400 members at a party rally on Saturday, before confronting Ms Riess-Passer on Sunday.
Ms Riess-Passer said on Sunday that she had been left with no choice but to resign.
"These internal party disagreements have crippled the party and have seriously hurt the trust of the voters," she said.
"It's my view that this is the only honest way to go."
The rift between Mr Haider and Ms Riess-Passer would have seemed unthinkable in the wake of the party's election success in October 1999.
Chosen successor
Ms Riess-Passer was seen as such a Haider loyalist that she earned the nickname "king's cobra".
She was his chosen successor when he pulled out of the leadership.
But, as earlier demonstrated by Lady Thatcher and John Major in the UK, chosen successors can fail to live up to their benefactors' hopes.
The first outwards signs of a Riess-Passer/Haider divergence came in Feburary, when she appeared to criticise him for visiting Saddam Hussein in Baghdad.

It seems that every flash drive or SD card that I plug into my computer isn't
quite good enough for Vista--it always asks me whether I want to scan and fix
before I use it. I always answer "no" because I don't want to lose the files
and Vista seems to be perfectly happy to copy them off without the scan &
fix. Is this a new feature of Vista and can it be disabled? Is it really
the case that all of my removable storage is corrupted?
Thanks in advance!

Carl Pelini Resigns At Florida Atlantic
Carl Pelini was in his second year as head coach at Florida Atlantic. On Wednesday afternoon he and and Defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis resigned after admitting to illegal drug use.
The resignations were immediate and followed a post-practice meeting with athletic director Patrick Chun, who says school officials received word about the matter earlier this week.
An investigation is continuing, Chun says. Chun also says the investigation suggests that only Pelini and Rekstis were involved. Chun says no criminal charges have been filed against either Pelini or Rekstis.
Offensive coordinator Brian Wright will serve as interim head coach for the Owls, who are 2-6 and play host to Tulane on Saturday.

I am brave enough to wear them full time and have no problems with all the people I know. - the question is - - - are you confident enough to be seen with me.
Now for the main Profile
A regular and active socialiser around Kent and London, who often thought to be younger than I am. I often stand out in a crowd as I am a full time heterosexual Skirt and Kilt wearer. I like pushing boundaries and have a sense of fun.
My basic hair colour is brown , but with grey coming in - Rather than try to hide it I use it as a opportunity to add colour to my hair - currently it is red.
I like walking, talking, meeting people, reading and going to parties. I do a fair bit of charity work.
I don't own a TV - I don't have time for it.
I did the London Naked Bike ride in 2012 and am currently helping to set up the Canterbury Naked Bike ride for 2013.
I don't need to read 50 Shades as I have been living it for many years - I am a Daddy Dom.
I am looking for an female with similar sense of adventure to join me for part or all of my journey through life. So we can push our boundaries together.
Personality, openness and an alert mind is more important than body shape but if I have a preference it is for the larger and more curvy women.
Chat via emails or messenger is all very well but I much prefer face to face conversation where it is possible to see the glint in the eyes. So someone in the South East would be preferable.
I look forward to hearing from you and having a chat. x x
In between that I do Voluntary work for the Red Cross and Demelza House. I lead a walking group and run a Male Carers Support group.
I like most music other than heavy Classic and post 90s pop. I enjoy going to Folk Clubs and real ale in moderation.
I will eat most things - but really love sea food.
But my key items would be friends, Computer, a roof over my head and Transport - and of course my non vanilla social life.

Portable Keyboard
These days, more and more business travelers have been able to untether from their laptops by tricking out their tablets. One of the most essential accessories that transform tablets from leisure devices to work tools is the portable keyboard.
Portable keyboards now come in all different designs. The standard Apple keyboard can connect via Bluetooth to desktops or iPads. But you don't need to carry something so bulky. There are flexible, portable keyboards that roll up. Some work as projectors. Perhaps the most efficient option is to combine your keyboard with your case. The FabricSkin Keyboard Folio solves that problem. It's a portfolio that holds the iPad and keyboard in place, protecting the entire iPad. Open it and the tablet folds forward to snap into place. It's held in position with hidden magnets, and angled for comfortable typing on a desk or in your lap.

Social Media: Cyberbullying on a corporate level – Nestle`Kit Kat Vs Green Peace
Nestle' has been under attack this week by a guerilla social media attack. Environmental activities have taken to social media to tell everyone that Nestle' uses palm oil from Indonesia which is destroying the rainforests.
The amount of palm oil used from this supplier is only 1.25% of their total use across their products but it's not stopping the activists.
The YouTube video has had over 176,000 views within a few days and the KitKat facebook has had an extra 95,000 fans. The new Facebook fans are not happy with nestle and their Facebook page has turned into a nightmare.
Is social media giving power back to the people? Is this a warning to all corporations that if they do the wrong thing, they could be attacked by social media tactics?

The evening session of the seventh day of competition at the London 2012 Olympic Games saw the final eight bouts of second round of preliminaries for the Men's Flyweight (52kg) and Welterweight (69kg) categories. The atmosphere was red-hot with eight adrenaline fueled contests lighting up the ExCeL arena. Credit: AIBA USA Team captain and third seed Raushee Warren, now a three-time Olympian, got the Flyweight (52kg) action underway as he faced Nordine Oubaali from France. It was fast and furious straight from the off between the two electric southpaws. Trading punches throughout, these two talented boxers were not giving each other an inch. Two superb left hooks by the experienced Warren saw him edge the first round. Oubaali came back strong and went on the attack in the second. Although the American's slick counter-punches were doing damage early on, the Frenchman's jabs began penetrating his rival's defences. His hook also connected several times and Oubaali clawed his way back...

I don't really know why I'm still on this site. I've heard some success stories and I've experienced some myself so I guess that's what keeps me on here.
I've reached a point in my life where I want a serious relationship. I would like to be able to wake up to my partner, spend all our time together, and just be like best friends. I miss those times. However, at the same time I don't want to rush into a relationship and it would be nice to get to know someone slowly.
I would describe myself as laid back, funny, spontaneous (so random road trips are a guarantee), a foodie who has a big soft spot for animals, especially dogs.
I try to stay in shape by going to the gym in my free time and eating healthy when I can.
I don't have a favourite type of music as I pretty much listen to everything except for heavy metal.
There's more to me and if you're interested message me.
P.S. Please don't just like me but send me a message. I can't see who's liking me.

Survival Kits & Survival Supplies
For years we have been encouraged by the government and disaster response organizations to take another step forward in preparing ourselves and our families to survive an emergency or disaster. We have been encouraged to have a survival kit on hand to provide basic survival supplies to last for at least 72 hours (3 days) on our own in case of an emergency or disaster.
The media coverage following Hurricane Katrina brought home the reality that federal, state, and municipal authorities will not be able to immediately help everyone in case of a major disaster. Just as there is a need to have smoke detectors because we can't each have a firefighter on duty 24/7 in our own home, we each need to prepare to be able to provide for our own basic survival needs in an emergency or disaster.
The recommendation to prepare for at least 3 days comes from the that experience that it will take at least that long (and maybe longer) for authorities to provide assistance to most of the people who may be affected by any given large disaster.
A well stocked survival kit should meet your basic survival needs for up to three days (72 hours) and should include survival supplies that provide for the 10 BASIC SURVIVAL NEEDS:
Click on each of these links to see checklists from the Department of Homeland Security and the American Red Cross on what should be included in each in each 72 hour survival kit. These are the two lists we use to guide our development of LifeSecure survival kits and survival supplies.
Whether you buy a survival kit ready-assembled by an emergency preparedness company or build your own, beyond the 10 survival supply basics, you will also need to add several personal items to increase your comfort and survival preparedness. Both the Department of Homeland Security and the American Red Cross lists address suggestions for added personal items to your survival supplies.
Though it is helpful to have several items that can be used in your home if you need to shelter-in-place, it is critical to have a compact, light-weight grab-and-go survival kit in case you need to evacuate. Consider how much you can realistically carry should you end up on-foot. We find that many people prefer to have a rolling bag kit in case they need to travel on-foot for some distance. Some of these bags convert to backpacks or have a shoulder strap should they have to be carried over debris or rough ground.
One other important consideration when preparing a survival kit is the shelf-life of the survival supplies. Most people don't care to be constantly inspecting and updating their survival kits nor paying to replace outdated survival supplies. If you value the ability to "buy it once, pack it once, and forget it", make sure that you select food, water, light and communication options that will last for 4 to 5 years or more. Most commercially assembled kits provide long-shelf life options for these survival supplies. Because of their long-life, survival kits purchased from reputable emergency preparedness companies such as LifeSecure Emergency Solutions, can help to prepare a family for in the range of only $7.00 to $14.00 per person per year. That's not a lot of money to spend to secure one's family in case of a disaster.

The company's basically lost control of its own operating system. Froyo, the latest version—and the one that was supposed to provide some unification—was released a few months ago, and now has a whopping 4.5 percent share of the Android installed base. The Macalope doesn't know for sure, but he wouldn't be surprised if iOS 4.1, released on Wednesday, has a higher share of the iOS market than that.

You're travelling through another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.
That's the signpost up ahead. Your next stop: The texting zone.
With all due respect to Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone never envisioned a future in which drivers had to be told to pull over to the side of the road to use their smartphones.
In an effort to stop motorists from texting while driving, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced the creation of 91 "texting zones" on his state's highways.
Nearly 300 road signs directing drivers toward the zones are already going up on New York motorways. Some signs include the cautioning phrase "It can wait" and include the number of miles a driver has to travel to reach the next texting location.
"If you wait until you're in a rest area or service area, you literally may be saving someone's life and the life you save may be your own," Cuomo said at a stop located near Albany, N.Y., on Monday.
The texting zones initiative is part of the state's ongoing attempt to crack down on distracted drivers.
This summer past, New York state police handed out more than 21,580 tickets to distracted drivers, compared to 5208 the summer before. Governor Cuomo also signed a law that boosted texting while driving fines to $150 (U.S.), along with five "points" off each offender's driving license.
By Cuomo's estimate, distracted driving is responsible for one out of five accidents in New York state. And very often the people texting while driving (or is that driving while texting?) are under the age of 21.
"It is especially a problem for young drivers," said Cuomo, who has three teen daughters at home. "They are the generation of the cellphone, of the electronic device that they use constantly. I have three young ladies at home and I see it first-hand."
Meanwhile, a new app is attempting to remedy the texting-while-driving problem without government intervention.
The app is called Lifesaver and it simply prevents the user from texting while the car is in motion.
Parents can install the app on their kids' phones and will receive an alert if it's suddenly turned off while the teen is driving.
As added incentive, teen drivers that comply to the app's rules will earn rewards, like iTunes gift cards.
Currently, the Lifesaver app is only available for Android phones, but a version for iPhones will be coming soon.Report Typo/Error

Controls on Late Guadalupian Toe-Of-Slope Bedding-Termination Patterns, Guadalupe Mountains: Implications for Carbonate Sequence Analysis
Alton Brown, Consultant, and Robert G. Loucks
Late Bell Canyon deep-water limestone tongues have variable bedding termination patterns against slope carbonates and basinal siliciclastic siltstones due to differences in carbonate sediment type and transportation mechanism. Grain size and depositional mechanism control bathymetric slopes, and the change in bathymetric slope is responsible for the bedding termination patterns.
Onlapping basinal beds are predominantly suspension-deposited siliciclastic siltstones. Most peloidal, low-density turbidite deposits show apparent onlap onto muddy debris-flow deposits and conformable toplap due to their low depositional slope. Bioturbated peloidal wackestones may have somewhat steeper depositional slopes where incipiently cemented. Mud- and silt-matrix debris-flow deposits interfinger with the low-density turbidity current deposits to form apparent onlap or downlap patterns. Some channelized mud and silt-matrix debris flows extend to the lower toe-of-slope where overlying and underlying contacts are approximately conformable. Mud- and silt-matrix debris-flow deposits also onlap steeply dipping, mud-free carbonate sands and boulder conglomerates higher on the slope. Only mud-free boulder conglomerates of the slope show true downlap.
Sea level controls bedding termination patterns mainly by varying sediment type (mud vs. sand and boulders) and total sediment supply. Lowstand and transgression carbonates are boulder conglomerates (rock falls) deposited on the slope. Once the shelf is flooded during highstand, significant quantities of carbonate mud can be produced. Mud bypasses the middle slope, mixes with skeletal and fragmental carbonates on the lower slope, and accumulates lower down on the toe-of-slope and proximal basinal facies as turbidites and suspension deposits.

Tenten and fan
So, it appears that the English version of the volume with this chapter is more explicit on the matter of Tenten destroying Kakuzu's lightning mask. Can the words she said in the Japanese be interpreted as that, or did they make a mistake? I believe that this is indeed a confirmation she destroyed it.

How liberal is CBS really ?
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
A Media Matters for America analysis of CBS Evening News broadcasts since the November 2, 2004, presidential election found that the program featured Republicans and conservatives more often than Democrats and progressives.
CBS Evening News segments on political topics broadcast between November 3, 2004, and February 17, 2005, featured 65 clips of Democratic officials or commentators representing progressive organizations and 83 clips of Republican officials or commentators representing conservative organizations. These figures do not include clips of President Bush, which were featured on 40 Evening News episodes.

Media Matters has also noted several recent incidents that run counter to the idea promoted by conservatives that CBS has a "liberal bias":
- In November, CBS officials refused to air an advertisement for the United Church of Christ that promoted inclusion of gays, racial minorities and people with disabilities because they considered it "unacceptable for broadcast," noting in particular the Bush administration's endorsement of the Federal Marriage Amendment as part of their justification for not airing the ad.
- On December 15, a CBS Evening News report on a December White House economic conference misstated the facts about Social Security to suggest that the program will stop paying out benefits much sooner than it actually will.
- On January 5, a CBS Early Show anchor echoed the crisis rhetoric employed by the Bush administration in its attempt sell the public on partially privatized Social Security.
- In their coverage of President Bush's State of the Union address on February 2, CBS anchors and correspondents universally adopted the misleading White House-approved term "personal accounts" (here and here) to describe the administration's plan to partially privatize Social Security.

Jay-Z, Beyoncé at NYC Obama Fundraiser: 'We Believe in His Vision'
That's the message Obama sent as he addressed about 100 guests at a $40,000-per-head fundraiser hosted by Jay and his wife, platinum-selling singer Beyoncé, at Jay's 40/40 Club in New York City.
"I can't tell you how proud we are to host tonight's event with President Obama," Queen B said in introducing the man of the hour, according to pool reports. "We believe in his vision."
Then the POTUS began by expressing his gratitude to his star supporters. "To Jay and Bey, thank you so much for your friendship," he said. "We are so grateful." The Commander-in-Chief went on to praise his hosts. "Beyoncé couldn't be a better role model for our daughters," Obama boasted, "because she carries herself with such class and poise and has so much talent."
"And Jay-Z now knows what my life is like," the president said, sending the audience into a roar of laughter.
How so?
"We both have daughters, and our wives are more popular than we are," Obama explained. "So we've got a little bond there. It's hard, but it's okay. It's okay."
And though the president was flying solo for the event — which pulled in $4 million for his reelection campaign — he admitted his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, and daughters were bummed to miss out on a night with the musical power couple. "Michelle and Malia and Sasha are mad at me because they are not here," the POTUS said. "That doesn't usually happen. Usually they're like, we're glad you're going — we don't need to go. But every time they get a chance to see these two they are thrilled, partly because they are just both so generous, particularly to my kids. And Malia and Sasha just love both of them."
As his speech turned to politics, Obama said he's pushing for a "more fair, more just" world. "We've made history in the past and we're going to make history in the next seven weeks."
Earlier in the night, the president sat down with David Letterman on The Late Show — for the first time in almost three years — where he touched on Clint Eastwood's phantom chair bit from the Republican National Convention, the inflammatory anti-Islamic film Innocence of Muslims and newly-leaked videos of Mitt Romney dismissing the "47 percent" of voters who are "dependent on government."
Next up from Obama's Hollywood supporters, Katy Perry is set to perform as part the president's concert-fundraiser 30 Days To Victory, billed for Oct. 7 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are reportedly trying to put cheating scandal behind them. And, President Obama makes an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. On The Daily Buzz, our panel dissects the interview. WATCH FULL SEGMENT BELOW. Watch The Daily Buzz each weekday at 4.30 pm ET.

Relationship Foundations – Vanilla v. M/s
When Ten Things went live, M retweeted it, and it made me all sorts of excited. M almost never retweets my posts. Especially since so many of them have been on more of a personal level than an educational one.
So I asked Him why He did it. And felt really silly about it. But I wanted to know.
He said that it's full of good points, and it's obvious I'm trying to get back on track, and that I should write more posts like that. He says He thinks they'll help me. I think He might be right.
There's been a lot of grumblings around the kink farm about how M/s or D/s or O/p or what-the-fuck-ever-your-dynamic-is relationships needing the same basic things as vanilla relationships to survive. (Yeah, I know. I'm late to the party. Again. Shut up.)
Communication, trust, loyalty (not monogamy… they are not the same thing), companionship, consideration…
To an extent, I agree.
I say "to an extent" because one of the biggest problems M and I face is my tendency to approach issues (hurt feelings, M making a mistake, etc.) the same way I would approach them in a vanilla relationship: as if we're both on equal footing and M has no choice but to compromise.
We are not on equal footing. And there are rules surrounding how I handle any issues that I might have. Like maintaining an even tone, and kneeling before Him with my head down while we discuss the issue, and asking respectfully and graciously for Him to consider doing something to fix my issues.
Some slaves I know aren't allowed to have issues. Others can have all the issues they want, and their M-type ignores them. Others have M-types that fix every single issue, even to their own detriment.
My M-type wants to know the issues so He can figure out what He needs to be working on. Maybe if my head were in the right place, I wouldn't have an issue. Or maybe He did something that is out of line with His idea of His role as my owner. Or maybe one of us just plain made a mistake. If I don't tell Him about it, He can't even decide if it matters enough to deal with it.
Obviously, this is the same in "vanilla" relationships. The couple can't find and fix issues if they don't openly communicate about them. However, unlike a vanilla couple, I don't have the right to expect a fair resolution. For that matter, if M feels I'm out of line with how I feel, I don't have the right to expect a resolution at all. He has been known to tell me I'm nuts, and disregard my issue completely.
The question being asked was (and I'm paraphrasing at best), "Why do people keep asking what to do as if M/s is so much different than vanilla?"
The answer? Because for some of us, it is different.
I can't just leave if I don't get my way. Throwing a temper tantrum will only get me into trouble. I have to find a way to deal with it, or convince M it's worth changing.
And maybe it's that way for a lot of people in vanilla relationships, too. Maybe they're as committed to whatever promises they made as M and I are. Maybe they don't believe in bailing on a relationship over something minuscule and petty. Maybe they're dead-set on fixing any problems that arise, and believe there is no problem too great.
I don't think we're special, better, more anything. We just handle things differently. Maybe it's more apparent to me because in vanilla relationships I demand that my rights be protected and my wants and needs be met, but in this M/s one, I've given up my rights, and have, for the most part, aligned my wants and needs with His.

Flor, the serf—now Florel Derikuna, swordsman at large—was in a new land.
So saying, without another word he turned and rode back, while the serf strode off towards the chateau.
