Before you embark on any preservation project, restoration, or alteration of your historic property, always do your research first so that you do not cause harm to the original historic fabric of the building. Consult your local State Historic Preservation Office for guidance, visit your local historical society, archives, or library to learn about its history, and read up on technical reports that pertain to your particular project (i.e., preserving original wood sash windows). The National Park Service has an excellent series of Preservation Briefs on a variety of preservation topics: http://www.nps.gov/history/hps/tps/briefs/presbhom.htm. If you plan on hiring a craftsman or contractor, make sure that they are familiar with basic standards for historic preservation, restoration, or rehabilitation of historic properties.
**Don't forget to document your property before and after the work is completed!

The Secretary of the Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties:
1. A property will be used as it was historically, or be given a new use that maximizes the retention of distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Where a treatment and use have not been identified, a property will be protected and, if necessary, stabilized until additional work may be undertaken.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The replacement of intact or repairable historic materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Work needed to stabilize, consolidate, and conserve existing historic materials and features will be physically and visually compatible, identifiable upon close inspection, and properly documented for future research.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
|testing for moisture
6. The existing condition of historic features will be evaluated to determine the appropriate level of intervention needed. Where the severity of deterioration requires repair or limited replacement of a distinctive feature, the new material will match the old in composition, design, color, and texture.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.

Reports have it that Comrade Iroegbu Emenike of Abia Facts Newspapers (An Online Media Outfit) was yesterday, arrested by the men of the Department of State Security Service (DSSS) in Uyo, Akwaibom State, and subsequently transferred and detained him in Umuahia, the Abia State capital.
|Comrade Iroegbu Emenike of Abia Facts Newspaper (AFN).
When Abacityblog called his line to confirm, He said yes! he was arrested and detained by the men of the Department of the State Security Service, (DSSS) and was later released.
Though according to him, the members of the DSS broke into his house with no warrant, and gave no cogent reason to the illegality of his arrest.
Meanwhile, lots of fingers have been pointing to the Abia State Government following the reason that Abia Facts Newspaper platform has become an opposition to the Abia State government and her supporters.
Contrary to that, Abacityblog called the Abia State House to confirm, and the response we got from the Chief Press Secretary, Enyinnaya Apollos have that Governor Ikpeazu the Abia State government has no hand in the Emenike's of Abia Facts Newspaper arrest.
According to him, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu led Abia State government has no hand in Emenike's Arrest, and we know nothing about it.

A drug investigator said a high-profile arrest in Alaska was delayed until after the November election.
The woman who was arrested is the mother of Levi Johnston. He's engaged to Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol. The two are the parents of a newborn son, Tripp.
The Anchorage Daily News reported that an an e-mail from drug investigator Kyle Young says the search warrant for Sherry Johnston's home was delayed for political reasons.
The state's public safety commissioner said the case was handled fairly. He said no one in the governor's office knew that troopers were investigating until Johnston's house was searched.
After the search, the commissioner called Palin's chief of staff to alert him of a potential media frenzy.
Sherry Johnston was arrested in mid-December on six felony drug counts. She is accused of selling Oxycontin, a strong prescription painkiller.

Conditional Notification is being sent twiceAsked by romanm on January 05, 2014 at 10:51 AM
I created a form that is working fine. I send a notification to the supervisor upon an employee's submission. The supervisor then reviews the info and approvals. The problem I have is that after the supervisor submits their reply, a notification is sent to the employee and the original email to review the information and approve email is resent to the the supervisor. How can I stop the second notification the supervisor? Also, is there any way to change the EDIT tag in the sent to the reply email?
Is this the form you are talking about? http://www.jotform.com/33376849725165
I cloned that form and sent some submission tests, but I did not receive any second notification in the supervisor email after submitting the form. So, I think that is the way it is expected to work, isn't it? Could you please double check and test your form to know if you are getting the the same result I am getting? Please test it and let us know how it works.
Now, could you please oprovide more information about what you refer to when you say "is there any way to change the EDIT tag in the sent to the reply email?"? That will help us to give you the correct assistance.
We will wait for your reply.

Dorset pub stroll — The Charlton Inn
Charlton Marshall Blandford DT11 9NH 01258 453160
Published in September '09
When James Barkess and Gemma O'Neill took over the tenancy of the Charlton Inn last December, it was something of a homecoming for them. They met when they were both on the staff there, which they were for some eight years. They then took on the Black Horse at Sturminster Marshall for two successful years before the opportunity arose to return to the Charlton.
The Charlton's clientele has traditionally been a mixture of locals and passing trade but James and Gemma have recently created a new menu of more interesting dishes with a view to establishing the Charlton as a destination pub with a reputation for good food. With their experience in the trade, they look well placed to succeed.
The pub is open for breakfast from 8 am to 11, then stays open until 3, re-opening at 6 pm until late; at weekends and in the summer holidays it does not close in the afternoon. As well as breakfast, food is served from noon until 9.30 pm. For visitors, or for those who have indulged too well, there are six letting bedrooms.
The stroll
A route of a little over two miles explores the countryside to the west of the village. Turn right out of the pub car park and take the first turning on the left, The Close. Pass the village pump on the left with its October 1887 datestone and walk under the old Somerset & Dorset Railway. Bear left immediately after the bridge.
At the top of the lane, go through a gate and bear right to pass to the right of farm buildings, going through two more gates to enter an open field. Walk across this field to a stile about 130 yards down from the right-hand corner. Continue in the same direction down the next field to a gate just to the right of a double power-line pole near the bottom left-hand corner.
In the next field, bear left to a stile about 100 yards down from the corner on the left. Cross it and turn right to walk along the right-hand field-edge. In the first corner, go through the gate straight ahead and turn right on a drive. Walk through the buildings of Glebe Farm and continue straight ahead on an unpaved track. Go through the right-hand of the two gates ahead and follow the left-hand field-edge.
In the first corner, go through the right-hand gate and walk straight across the next field, heading for a power-line pole between a white and redbrick building. On the other side of the field, turn right onto a grassy track. Follow this track up a rise to a gate. Go through the gate and continue in the same direction on a path through woods.
Stay on the path straight through the wood. It becomes a rough track on the edge of the village, then a paved lane. Follow this lane under a railway bridge and down to a bend on the left. Turn right at the T-junction, then right on the main road. Return to the pub in 300 yards.

An international LIFE+ Platform Meeting on Alternative Future Urban Mobility, organised by the Astrale LIFE monitoring team, is being held in cooperation with the current German LIFE project, Clean Air , (LIFE 11 ENV/DE/000495) and the German Federal Environmental Agency (UBA). There will be a presentation on the latest EU policy developments by Guido de Wilt of the European Commission DG Environment.
The aim of this compact thematic seminar is to bring together practitioners from across Europe to:
- Share and benefit from the experiences of completed and ongoing LIFE projects (and other initiatives) focusing on 'Alternative Future Urban Mobility';
- Discuss the key issues – e.g. how to foster the change from the current mobility mode to new habits, and how to motivate people to use an e-bike rather than a car; and
- Conclude recommendations on how the LIFE programme and the European Commission in general could support this topic.
Xavier Querol participated at the meeting as AIRUSE representative, presenting data on the effect of urban mobility on air quality and possible measures to reduce this impact.

i normally just uninstall my SPW (on a testing server) and then install the new BETA SPW, for some or other reason it doesn't pull my database through to the system. my test server only has about 600 - 700 tickets.. unlike my main SPW database.
will try again and see what it does.. otherwise any suggestions?
5 Replies
Apr 10, 2012 at 2:08 UTC
you could always just backup your DB and restore it after the new install (shut down spiceworks, copy over new db with old, etc...)
but I'm guessing you more than likely are already doing that. If so, then I've got no idea why it's not working.
Apr 10, 2012 at 8:33 UTC
I had the same problem initially. I wiped it out, and repeated it, and the second time it worked. Not sure what happened the first time. I didn't see anything in the system logs, so I have no idea. Weird.
Apr 10, 2012 at 9:11 UTC
I think if you actually uninstall spiceworks it will remove the database as well. so you will need to
- back up the database (to a different folder then the spiceworks folder.
- uninstall spiceworks
- install the new beta
- restore the database
Apr 12, 2012 at 3:47 UTC
Bluecube ICT is an IT service provider.
solved.... removed spiceworks, removed all reg entries of spiceworks and re-installed.. but the database import took 20min.... but it's working!
Apr 12, 2012 at 8:25 UTC
Yup the database import does take a while but it does get thing back to a working state.

To round out a week full of new flavors, the BCS exclusive grab n' go lunch bowls are available at both stores. Chef Marisa Gibson and her team have crafted unbeatable new options to carry all of us through the sleet and freezing rain. The bright Ginger Lime Vermicelli Bowl is the ideal fresh and crunchy lunch - bean thread noodles tossed in acidic and tangy dressing with julienned kohlrabi, cucumber and fennel sticks topped with crunch peanuts and fresh herbs. the BCS Signature Chicken Caesar Salad sets a new standard for the lunchtime classic with challah croutons, baby romaine, Senat Farms chicken breast, and a creamy dressing with just enough anchovy. The Tuscan Kale and White Bean Bowl with Rosemary Vinaigrette offers a rustic and flavorful escape from the grit and grime of city life. The times might be dark, but lunch needn't be.
Last weekend, over the course of three decadent days, we watched (and tasted) the 2017 Winter Cheesemonger Invitational (CMI) unfold. Hosted at Public Works in San Francisco, this bi-annual and bi-coastal event celebrates the cheesemonger above all else.
With support and love from the whole cheese and dairy global community, cheesemongers from across the country (and, for the second time ever, abroad!) compete to be the best in the business at what they do every day: sell cheese.
The competition is fierce. The bacteria multiply. Mongers try and try again to cut perfect quarter pounds. BCS owner and monger Charlotte Kamin, along with our General Manager Holly Kenna, were on the scene and shared an inside look at the showdown. And don't worry, it all happens again in June in Long Island City.

ChevronTexaco Honored
Recognized for outstanding corporate citizenship overseas.
WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Colin Powell Wednesday presented ChevronTexaco with the Secretary of State's 2003 Award for Corporate Excellence for its corporate citizenship in Nigeria.
"We applaud Chevron Nigeria's commitment to its employees, and to the people of the Niger Delta. More than a good corporate citizen, Chevron Nigeria is a good neighbor, and a model of excellence and trust," noted Powell in his remarks.
ChevronTexaco Chairman and CEO David J. O'Reilly accepted the award on behalf of the company's Nigeria-based employees, Chevron Nigeria Ltd., partners and contractors at a ceremony at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
"We will continue our efforts to harness our human, financial and technical resources to help communities where we work. The power of partnership has great strength to create and sustain positive change," said O'Reilly.
The Award for Corporate Excellence recognizes the important role U.S. businesses play abroad as good corporate citizens. The Secretary of State's office selected ChevronTexaco for initiatives in Nigeria including:
* A March 2003 airlift of 2,000 villagers to safety who were fleeing civil strife after their homes were destroyed.
* Establishment of a river boat clinic, which provides on-board medical treatment to thousands of residents.
* The Chevron Workplace AIDS Prevention Program which focuses on peer education, community-based prevention and training for supervisors.
* Furnishings and equipment for 54 schools which have improved student attendance and performance.

I am in the process of losing that last bit of baby weight, its been 9 months thus far, even though it feels more like 9 days, and I am determined to be back in full working mode by the beginning of 2015!!!
I have been modeling for ten years, and slowed down briefly to attend college. I am now finished and want to follow what my passion is. I have tattoos, and my ears are gaged to a 00. I would love to do edgier type modeling, but am versatile, and can look both hard and more urban/punk rock/goth, or softer, more girl next door/innocent/natural.
The best way to contact me is via email firstname.lastname@example.com, or via cell phone. (Ask me for #) I am willing to travel for certain jobs, if you are not local to me, please contact me anyway!
I believe i have a unique but marketable look, and been told i have gorgeous features that are in proportion and symmetrical. I have done lingerie/nudes in a snowstorm, swam in the ocean in a multi-skirted Victorian style dress in November, and crawled through dirt, all to get that amazing shot. I am easy going and fun to work with, and take every shoot on with enthusiasm!

Boat Tours
Set out on a boat trip in Greenland to open up a world of fjords, whales, and nearby villages.
Set out on a boat trip in Greenland to open up a world of fjords, whales, and nearby villages.
Sailing is a way of life for Greenlanders, and we are proud to share with you one of our most favorite activities. Sailing expands our world past the city limits we know well and connects us to the incredible nature we love to explore. On the sunniest summer days, we will always choose sailing to a tried-and-true fishing spot or to a small hut in the fjord over staying on land!
The real beauty of taking a tourist boat trip in Greenland is the feeling that you are getting a bespoke experience. As there is no defined route that boat tours must follow, a detour to a rushing waterfall or the area where an eagle's nest was recently spotted is not out of the ordinary. Your boat trip driver knows these Greenlandic waters from extensive experience sailing, and he wants you to experience the best.
But remember that Greenland's nature can sometimes show its brutal side. As tempting as it might sound to hire a private boat owner for a boat tour, always opt instead for passenger-approved boats and companies, that comply with the strictest regulations about sailing in Arctic conditions.
"Sailing was nice. I definitely got to see some parts of the area that I would not be able to see without a guided trip. And I got to learn about the history of Greenland at the same time!"
"The best was sailing along the icebergs and seeing the boat try to squeeze its way through. I could have stayed outside on the deck for 2-3 more hours. It was freezing cold, but I just could not go inside! It was amazing!"
If there is open water, then a boat trip is possible! In spring, flexibility is a must as weather and iceberg conditions change from day to day, and so is a warm jacket. If a boat trip in Greenlandic spring sounds chilly, we won't lie to you - it is! But how exceptional it is to be one of the few taking in the crisp Arctic air from the front deck. A hot cup of tea and the brilliant view take care of the rest.
Summer is truly the prime season for boat tours in Greenland. Winding through the intricate maze of islands and small canals while the warm sun energizes you from overhead, a boat trip can be reminiscent of sailing in the Italian Riviera. But catch sight of a humpback whale or the colorful wooden houses along the coast and realize that, in fact, you are sailing at the top of the world in spectacular Greenland.
A boat trip in Greenland for the sake of sailing is delightful, but often the boat tour comes packaged with another experience, under the guise of transportation. With many islands along the coast and no roads outside of town, many of Greenland's greatest places like calving glaciers, mountain hiking trails, and Norse culture sites are only accessible by water. Think of the aquatic transportation more like an extra boat tour!
In South Greenland, for example, boat tours connect an elaborate route of Viking ruins and modern day sheep farms, and in every town in Greenland, a short boat trip can open up a whole world of village life. Don't forget that sailing takes place in the same waters that whales call their summer paradise. The cherry on top of a perfect boat trip in Greenland is spotting a humpback and getting an impromptu whale watching tour just before heading home.
Boat tours are available in Greenland year-round. Summer is the primary sailing season, but spring boat tours are possible depending on ice conditions.
Boat tours can last between 2-8 hours. Be sure to pack extra warm clothes, including waterproof layers, and accessories like a hat and gloves.
Boat tours typically accommodate a maximum of 12 persons per boat. There may be a minimum passenger limit.
June, July and August is the main season for boat trips—but boats travel up and down Greenland's coasts all year round. And what could be more natural when none of the towns are linked by roads.
Here, you can explore where in Greenland to go on boat tours and locate specific providers of this activity.
There are no preconditions for going on boat trips as such. Long trips in small craft will naturally require reasonable agility and that you know your way around a boat. Always remember to choose boats approved by the Danish Maritime Authority for commercial passenger usage.

From Playstation 4 to the latest and greatest smart phone or tablet, chances are those friends or family you're buying for have made it perfectly clear exactly what they want and where to find it.
That includes some holiday hints like leaving a newspaper ad under your pillow or sending you a not so subtle email or text that links you directly to the product they've been admiring since mid July.
Often the biggest holiday hurdle comes in the form of finishing off your shopping with a few extras that complement the big ticket items. These "stocking stuffers" of sort often get overlooked but are just as welcomed, wanted and dazzling and add complete any shopping foray with a dash of fun, style or flare.
So how does one find that perfect gift?

Mulroney: The Opera
World premiere of Mulroney: The Opera on April 16th!
Join us in one of 72 Cineplex theatres across Canada on April 16th at 1pm for the world premiere of the film Mulroney: The Opera, starring Rick Miller as Mr. Chin himself. The other showing is April 27th at 7pm. Watch trailer #1. Watch trailer #2. Buy tickets. Watch the 1-Minute Mulroney Make-Over (condensing 3 hours of latex into 60 seconds of fun!). Read the previews in The Toronto Star, CBC.ca, and The Globe and Mail.
Rhombus Media, the film company behind such movies as The Red Violin and Passchendaele, has invested $3.75-million into creating a full-scale comedic opera, with a score by Alexina Louie and a libretto by Dan Redican. The film is directed by Larry Weinstein, who also co-produces with Jessica Daniel.
Joyously irreverent, Mulroney: The Opera blends political satire with an original operatic score. It is at once a comedy, a tragedy and always thoroughly epic in its portrayal of contemporary political life in Canada. Within the 'Holy Grail' of musical forms – the Opera - these stories, scandals and real-life politicians are finally given the larger-than-life platform they deserve.
"Mulroney is played by Rick Miller, known for such one-man stage shows as MacHomer and Hardsell, as well as his versatile appearance in Robert Lepage's nine-hour play, Lipsynch. In this production, he juggles Mulroney's mannerisms with tricky lip-syncing, matching his "schmacting," as he calls it, to the bass baritone of Canadian Daniel Okulitch (best known for his role in the David Cronenberg opera The Fly), who sings Mulroney's part.
As is often the case in his own shows, Miller's acting is exuberant and physical, adding a suitably grand theatricality to his Mulroney character. "Casting Rick sort of opened my eyes about what [the opera] could be," said Weinstein, on the film's set in Nobleton, Ont., north of Toronto. "It could be more fun, more athletic. It's not as dark or edgy [as we once envisioned it]. This is a comedy."
Says Miller, "I think this tragicomic opera is a perfect vehicle, not to make people necessarily love Mulroney again, but to see more nuance in a complicated story of power. I think everyone working on this likes him more than they did before."The rest of the cast is an assortment of Canadian film, television and theatre mainstays. Colin Mochrie plays Jean Chrétien; Ted Dykstra is Ed Broadbent; Wayne Best takes on Pierre Trudeau; Joe Matheson channels Ronald Reagan; and Sean Cullen is one-time Mulroney cabinet minister Robert Coates. Mila Mulroney is played by Edmonton native Stephanie Anne Mills.http://www.rickmiller.ca

Birkbeck, University of London
Constitutional Politics, Law and Theory
This is a unique programme in London, reflecting the traditional neglect of constitutionalist approaches to politics in Britain - something which is now changing fast. As the utopia of the 'end of history' falters, the rhetoric of security and risk, of crisis in the relation between financial markets and sovereign states, of perpetual war, and of corruption in politics brings about a relentless desire for law and constitutional reform. These expectations, however, are often at odds with the way contemporary social and political theories, and a growing number of constitutional law specialists, conceptualise the sphere of the political. The focus is on 2 related but distinct processes: the crisis of law and the shift towards exceptional modes of state power; and the demand that law mitigates manifold crises. Questions are raised about law as solution, about its role in the violent imposition of liberal social and market relations, and whether or not we may be able to imagine a different sort of crisis, a different relation between law and the future. This Master's degree in law is distinctive in 3 respects: it adopts a critical, interdisciplinary approach; it gives equal weight to theory and comparative case studies from across the world with the possibility for you to write a specialist dissertation; and it is available either part-time or full-time and delivered through face-to-face evening classes.

If you watch a YouTube video of a wingsuiter preparing to take off from a mountain you will usually see them throw a small rock off the top and wait to hear when it lands. This might seem like a good luck ritual or a game, but 'rock drop' is deadly serious: throw the rock, count the seconds before it thuds to the ground below and that gives you an idea of how long you have to spread your wings and glide away from the mountain into a safe flying space if you are to avoid very sudden death.
It used to be that a 20-second 'rock drop' was on the outer limits of safety; today some wingsuiters have cut that back to between 10 and 12 seconds. Géraldine Fasnacht says without a hint of arrogance, 'This is American-style, old-school. We can jump off cliffs now that have only five seconds' rock drop. It depends as well how steep it is. If it's five seconds and it's flat underneath then for sure it is no go, but five seconds and continuing really steep underneath, that's fine.' Five seconds – although lasers are now also being used to scan the terrain, there is still not the slightest margin for error.
When Fasnacht climbs a serious mountain the last thing she wants to do is to come back down again in any conventional way. 'Hiking down hurts my knee,' she says. 'If you rappel down you can have a rock drop on your head – it's super-scary.' So instead what she does is throw herself off the top. For Fasnacht – equipped with a wingsuit, the fabric between her torso and her outstretched arms and legs turning her into the closest a human can come to being a bird, plus a single parachute (no time to open a reserve) for when she eventually nears the ground – this is the only way down.

At 33 she is one of the world's most experienced wingsuiters – of either sex – and she has no intention of stopping. In December 2006 her first husband, Seb, died in her arms as they waited for the rescue service. They were not wingsuiting but speed riding, another dangerous sport involving skis and a canopy holding the skier close above the slope, and when Seb turned to see how his wife was doing he crashed into the mountain.
Her second husband, Sam Beaugey, gave up wingsuiting in 2012. He had had two near-fatal accidents, once when he had a bad landing, the other when his parachute initially failed to deploy and it was only his years of experience that enabled him to find a way to force it open. 'We had a big discussion: when you do something so risky you have to be 100 per cent,' she says. 'And he was not: he was always scared and he was not enjoying it any more. And if you are not 100 per cent, this sport is really dangerous.'
It seems wrong to be discussing such small but critical margins of danger and death over lunch in the warm sunshine at the Fer a Cheval restaurant in Verbier, Switzerland, with the mountains framing our conversation. The day is just too brilliantly good to be even considering a sport that might end up killing you. Fasnacht has arrived off the mountain from a morning's snowboarding (her other love), cutting a striking figure: all blond hair, broad grin and lots of laughter. She is wearing a very bright purple jacket and pants, a blue helmet, radio strapped across her front, and carries a large snowboard and small snowshoes for hiking into areas where no one else cares or dares to go. She is not only a very good snowboarder but she is – of course – at the extreme edge of that sport too. In her backpack she carries an ABS airbag, which inflates to allow you to float on an avalanche rather than be buried by it – she has been forced to try it once in her 15 years of snowboarding. 'It's really incredible, you feel like you have somebody getting you by the shoulders and taking you out of the avalanche.'
Fasnacht grew up near Verbier, where she now lives, and her mother used to take her first skiing and then snowboarding. She won the Verbier Xtreme event – which is about as extreme as you can get, tackling the narrowest corridors and the steepest off-piste slopes – three times before retiring from competitive snowboarding in 2009. But even as a child she had always wanted to fly, although the nearest she got to it was working for Swissair at Geneva airport. It was there she met a friend who asked her to come skydiving (from a plane with a parachute and no wingsuit) with her. It was great fun but it was not quite enough. What she wanted was to jump from a mountain not a plane. In other words, to join the ranks of that awkwardly named sport, base jumping ('base' is an acronym for the fixed objects participants launch themselves from: building, antenna, span or earth). She did 500 jumps, including 200 with a wingsuit, from a plane where there are – relatively – huge margins for error before she felt good enough to jump from a cliff. The winter before she was ready for her first base jump she would pack, unpack and repack her parachute herself.

Her first jump was from an easy road bridge with a big landing area, 'but I didn't like it at all because you have cars on the bridge and you are scared the police are coming. I want to be in the mountains.' Nevertheless she made herself jump from the bridge three times before she tackled her first mountain. That was 13 years ago. Now she is such an old hand that this summer she and a small team are going to attempt to climb and jump off some of the highest peaks – over 4,000m – in the Alps. They will be opening up new exit points where no one else before them has risked it. It sounds simple, but in 2012 Sam Beaugey climbed Les Drus, a 3,700m peak in the Alps, five times and she came up with him twice before they were satisfied they had found a safe exit point. Watching a video of Fasnacht launching herself into the void from the top of Les Drus is heart-stopping, the nearest you can come to vertigo while still being at sea level.
Until very recently this was mainly a man's world, partly explained by the considerable strength needed to hold the wingsuit as wide open as possible while flying. But new designs have almost eliminated the need for strength; as soon as you start to fly the air rushes through the suit's inlets and stretches it out for you, turning the suit into a sort of aerofoil. Now Fasnacht says there are enough women entering the sport that she sometimes jumps with girlfriends 'and it's really cool and it feels good to talk about make-up and nail polish when you are climbing up to the exit point'. But there are also some leaving the sport; some of her female friends have stopped or are jumping from easier cliffs because 'they now have babies and stuff'.
In September 2012 Wioletta Roslan, an experienced 37-year-old wingsuiter who was four months pregnant, decided to make one last jump before giving it up until after her baby arrived. It killed her – it appears she could not get at her parachute release pull-cord. Fasnacht is now divorced from Beaugey, but would a baby stop her? 'You don't stop driving when you are pregnant do you?' she says. 'In the sky you are by yourself; on the roads it is dangerous. I feel much safer in the mountains; on the road even if you do everything right somebody else can do something wrong.'
At the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony Mark Sutton, doubling for James Bond, and his mate Gary Connery, doubling for the Queen, amazed us all by skydiving from a helicopter into the stadium. Just over a year later Sutton was in Switzerland jumping out of a helicopter, this time using a wingsuit. Tony Uragallo, an East Ender now living in Florida making wingsuits, was flying close behind him. 'I saw him go down towards the mountain and his shadow came under him and he was flying really close to the ground,' Uragallo says. 'I remember thinking, "Cor blimey, Mark, Jesus Mark!" when I saw how close his shadow was to him.' Then Uragallo lost sight of him. Sutton was killed instantly when he hit the mountain.
Connery, a stuntman who does relatively safe things such as falling off horses and falling down stairs – 'you name it' – to pay for his wingsuiting passion, is remarkably open when I ask if his friend's death made him think of stopping. 'No, it didn't,' he says. 'Every year we go into the start of the season knowing full well that some of our friends are going to die. It doesn't make it any easier when it does happen, but you already know it's going to happen. You never go into a jump thinking this is the one; I always visualise good stuff rather than bad but there is a level of acceptance that it could be you.'
The statistics are sketchy but certainly not encouraging. In 1912 Franz Reichelt, a tailor who had invented a very crude form of wingsuit, gained permission to conduct a test on a dummy from the Eiffel Tower. Having climbed to the first stage of the tower he was confident enough to decide he would fly in place of the dummy: a fatal mistake. Of the 75 'birdmen' who from the 1930s onwards attempted to fly attached to some sort of home-made 'wing' structure, 72 were killed. In 1998 Patrick de Gayardon, a Frenchman who pioneered the modern wingsuit, died when his parachute failed to open while wingsuiting over Hawaii. Even today one estimate from a base jumper and assistant professor of orthopaedics at the University of Colorado puts the number of wingsuiters killed each year at six or seven per cent of approximately 3,000 flyers. In March three experienced wingsuiters were killed after jumping from a helicopter together over the Lütschental valley in Switzerland. Wingsuits have evolved dramatically but at the same time they have attracted a new generation of jumpers trying to push the limits ever further. 'The biggest trouble is people who come from the city, who don't respect and understand that it takes a lot of time to learn from nature,' Fasnacht says. 'I spend a lot of time analysing my line before flying it.'
One of the latest developments of the sport is proximity flying, where you get as close as you dare to the earth below you. It is not for Fasnacht. 'My pleasure is never to be scared but to have fun with what I do, not to be so close to a mountain I can maybe take a flower in my mouth.'

So why do it? Man's continued quest to fly like the birds has something to do with it, and the modern wingsuit brings this dream tantalisingly close – at a cost of up to £3,000 a suit. The latest wingsuits mean that for every metre you drop you can now glide horizontally for three or even four metres. 'Sometimes I feel like a bird,' Fasnacht says, 'but the birds are probably laughing at us because to them we still fall like rocks.'
It is frustrating trying to drag a full answer out of Fasnacht. When you watch her videos she looks so cool as she counts down to take-off; fear – and conquering it – does not seem to enter into the equation. She talks about her love of the mountains, but many people can love mountains without having to jump from them. The best answer she came up with was, 'I needed to jump for myself to be happy.' (Later I ask her by email if she can expand on this and she says, 'Because I love life and I feel really lucky to be able to realise my biggest dreams.')
Gary Connery, the only person to land successfully with a wingsuit and no parachute (he did it with 18,600 cardboard boxes as his landing strip), gets closest to explaining the attraction – even lyrical, 'There is that whole emotional journey which is very special,' he says. 'That moment in setting off when you get this transformation from fear to total clarity. You wouldn't hear a cannon going off right next to your head but you could hear the bells on the toes of fairies dancing 1,000ft below, your senses are so heightened.' Both Fasnacht and Connery can only get so far before they end up saying, as Fasnacht does, 'You have to try it, Will, there is no other way – if you try it once you will never stop.' But I know for certain that participatory journalism does not stretch this far.
Does she ever think of stopping? Fasnacht did stop for a while after Seb died. She stayed away from it all for about half a year until her best friend asked her to come up into the mountains with him, to pack her parachute and her wingsuit. 'And I realised how much he trusted me, because it is so easy to jump off a mountain and not open your parachute when you are facing something as terrible as this, and I realised how important my friends were to me and how important my family was, and how important I was to them. I knew that if I did not pursue my passion I would not be happy.' And she was back wingsuiting. 'I felt alive again, flying again, being part of the elements and feeling good things could still happen to me.'
And when Beaugey decided that climbing up mountains not flying off them was what he now wanted to do, it made her examine why she was doing it, but not whether it was time for her to stop. 'I would rather die than be away from the mountains,' she says. 'I would rather die if I cannot live my passions.'
Extreme sports such as wingsuiting are too young for there to be any definitive views about where the motivation lies. Dr Justin Anderson, a sports psychologist in Minnesota, argues for what might be called the traditional understanding of wingsuiting and other extreme sports. In short he says, 'There is an intrinsic fear of jumping off a cliff and so when we do it there is a huge adrenaline rush. These folks get a certain hit of dopamine, a certain hit of pleasure that a lot of us may not get.'
But it is now being suggested that although the adrenaline rush tempts people into extreme sports, it is not what keeps them there. Dr Eric Brymer, a psychologist at Queensland University of Technology specialising in adventure sports, says, 'This is not about a death wish – if you wanted to kill yourself there would be many easier ways. This is more about a life wish.' His list of benefits includes 'being part of the natural world… understanding the environment to such a depth you are in a sort of relationship together… transcending the fear, understanding yourself and your capability'. Fasnacht's views undoubtedly correspond with his research.
The only time over lunch where she seems to pause from the celebration of her passion is when I mention Ueli Gegenschatz, another wingsuiter to die, although the jump that killed him was a base jump from an 88m-tall building rather than a wingsuit jump from a cliff. You can watch Gegenschatz giving an impressive TED talk in California in February 2009 where he spoke about his desire 'to come as close as possible to the human dream of being able to fly' – and then right below it is a note dated November 2009 saying he had died.
And here's the thing: he took exactly the kind of care and attention to detail that Fasnacht takes and yet it did not save him. 'He was a good friend of mine and it is really, really hard to explain this accident because for sure Ueli was somebody who was really, really careful,' she says. 'You know in the media they always talk about the sport in a bad way and we only see articles about people who have died but Ueli was always talking about the sport in a good way, a really positive way.'
She tells me that she has a job to support her wingsuiting. 'I do conferences for big companies, talking about my career and about risk management in my sport.' Risk management! At least she can see the funny side of it. If she attended her own course she might discover that the best risk management of all is to enjoy the mountains without jumping off them; but then, as she says, the fun would be taken out of her life.

When most people think about vegetable gardens, they think about the summer variety that produces tomatoes, zucchini and peppers. However, winter vegetable gardens can provide you with an abundance of tasty crop as well. Winter garden vegetables can tolerate frost and cold weather. Planted in late summer, they spend all fall growing and developing their flavors, greeting the gardener in the winter with a bevy of veggies. Perhaps the most challenging aspect of having a winter vegetable gardener is deciding which plants to grow.
According to the Washington State University Extension, kale can be grown successfully in winter gardens. Kale is a hardy plant that can withstand harsh conditions, though blue kale may turn yellow if subjected to lots of frost. Not only are the kale leaves edible, but the flower shoots they produce in spring can be eaten, as well.
Parsnips thrive on cold temperatures. In fact, the chill actually brings out their flavor and sweetness, suggests the Veggie Gardening Tips website. When planted in early spring, parsnips will survive during the winter and produce crops until the following spring.
Brussels Sprouts
Like the parsnips, Brussels sprouts prefer the cold weather and become tastier when exposed to the chill. Brussels sprouts become sweeter and have more flavor when subjected to cold weather; however, they should be harvested before frost sets in, as they can become damaged if exposed to that element.
A variety of lettuce can be grown in a winter vegetable garden, including lamb's lettuce and winter lettuce. Leafy vegetables enjoys the cool fall temperatures and can be planted in late summer for autumn harvest.
Broccoli is a hardy vegetable that can tolerate cold temperatures. If planted in late summer, broccoli will usually be present around Thanksgiving and even last until Christmas, according to the Washington State University Extension. Purple or Italian sprouting broccoli can be planted in the winter and produce crop in the spring.

Adrian Edmondson
WINNER Ade was the 2013 winner after impressing John and Gregg with his final three courses. He surprised himself with his win, saying: 'I'm very, very chuffed, I've spent most of my life being second, so to actually come top it feels very weird. It feels unusual, but I'm very, very pleased indeed. It's quite nice to be first.' His final menu was:
Starter: pan-seared loin of venison, with a pepper crust, served with celeriac remoulade and lambs lettuce.
Main: butterflied fillet of sea bass stuffed with scallop mousse and served with a deconstructed ratatouille sauce
Dessert: strawberries in caramel syrup, topped with caraway shortbread and a raspberry sorbet.

Give Egypt's Aid Money to Libya
Consider how differently the governments in each country have behaved in the last couple of weeks.
The U.S. Senate voted down a bill this weekend that would have frozen aid money to Pakistan, Egypt and Libya. The bill's sponsor, Republican Sen. Rand Paul, was right that Egypt no longer deserves American aid. But Libya does. Libya needs help, and it needs help right now. Libya should not only continue receiving the aid it's already slated to get from Washington. Libya should also get Egypt's.

Writing Recipes for the Website This is Galway
New Writing Venture with This is Galway
So, it's been coming for months now, but last week I finally published my first recipe on the brilliant website This is Galway. Starting with a healthy pancake recipe…no better way to introduce yourself that with pancakes.
This has been planned for months and months but due to schedule and other activities especially with our new t-shirt website Mephobia Designs, I have been extremely busy, but finally, the first has been published.

I'm looking for a very simple instant messaging program (hopefully free) that will allow me to pop up messages on users' systems and allow them to reply.
The built-in Windows Messenging service (the actual service, not the chat client) would work in a pinch, but I'd prefer to leave the service disabled, and it does not allow users to respond.
I do NOT want users to have the capability to contact each other, which is a problem with Trillian's Rendezvous, and I obviously don't want them chatting with their friends outside. This is only for me to reach them. I'd prefer if they couldn't initiate chat with me on their own, though I'm willing to accept it if that's the way it has to be.
Any suggestions?

On a quick google i found LAN Talk net. Looks pretty cool and has a reply only mode that should prevent social chatting. http://www.lantalk.net/lantalk-net/ .We only use net send as we only require to notify users of server downtime etc so i wont be able to give you any advice really.
When we are supporting users i normally use VNC to control their machine and then notepad or something to chat with them.
Oct 1, 2008 at 9:22 UTC
Some versions of VNC will allow chat. Also check out theOpenfire
group, perhaps that can be configured to do what you want.
Oct 1, 2008 at 1:20 UTC
Thanks, I've deployed Openfire in a test configuration and am trying it out. Seems to come the closest to what I need while still maintaining that all important "free" quality. ;-) Thanks for the replies!
(Though I'm still interested in hearing other ideas if someone has a really perfect solution.)
Jan 21, 2009 at 7:46 UTC
Stick with OpenFire but make sure you use Spark as your Client, it has the best integration.
You should be able to configure the server to prevent users searching or connecting to other user accounts.
That would just mean you would have to create a group called "IT" and place yourself in it.
Make the group visible to everyone and you won't need to send a contact request to each user on your network

The Medical Sciences of the Murim refer to different phenomena referring to human health related to Inner Energy (Ki).
Natural PhenomenaEdit
The cases differ depending on which side has the issue, the Body or the Ki. A different issue in one side can have a different impact on the other.Although, this does not only refer to negative issues but also positive issues and impacts.
Body -> KiEdit
The relation between Body and Ki gives the ability to change the Ki by changing the body.
- Final Step of Training: The Body and Ki relation is more visible by the martial arts training itself. There is a limit to the level of strength humans can achieve with their Ki amount and the Ki center in everyone is about the same. However, humans have discovered that by changing the body the Ki changes as well. With the final step of training people widen their blood stream which is the part of the body with the most Ki flowing in it. This results in the increase of the Ki amounts, in order to fill the empty space in the veins, and the increase of the size of the Ki-center, to hold the larger amounts of Ki, and, as a result, the increase of the individuals strength and potential.
Ki -> BodyEdit
The reversed relation is also possible. The Ki and body exist in a balance. This means that a strong Ki needs a strong body to hold it. If this balance is lost then the body will break down and result to health problems or even death.
- Yin Body Type: The Yin Body Type is an example of blocked flow of the Ki. There are Nine-Yins in total and the number of blocked Yins determines the name of the Yin Body Type. When some (one-to-nine) Yins are blocked the natural flow in the body is distorted or completely blocked. This affects the balance of the Simgichehon and the individual has health problems. The severity of the health problems is equivalent to the Number of blocked Yins. In addition, if not healed the person cannot control the Ki properly and thus is unable to use martial arts as well. In contrast, if healed then the individual becomes much stronger than the average person in terms of potential. The One Moon Divine Dan has been proven capable of unblocking the blocked Yins.
- Overhaul Rebirth (Hwan Gol Tal Tae): The increase of the amount of Ki can change the body. Excessive amounts of Ki in the body rearranges the physique and bone structures as well as the organs. Although this is a very rare phenomenon and is usually called a miracle.
Martial ArtsEdit
Martial arts are closely related with the domain of Medicine as well and they are the starting point of the Science from the belief that humans can affect the body through the Ki.
Techniques for healing are also existent:
- Inner Energy Healing: The user transfers his/her own Ki to another person in order to enhance the healing of that person.[1]
The existence of Ki extents even as far as the Science of Medicine. Clans and Schools focus on controlling the Ki for healing purposes. Others study it further to enhance other factors as well. The most notable are the One Moon School and the Blood & Bone School. Starting by researching the and experimenting on Ki to improve their strength in the Murim they managed to learn the medical uses of Ki as well.
- One Moon School: The greatest, at the moment, medical center belongs to the One Moon School. They have researched for many years on the ways of the Ki and have learned healing and treatment ways that are generally not known in the Murim. They are capable of treating a broken Ki-Center that was thought to be impossible and are capable to hold in comatose state a person that was shot in the head.
- Blood & Bone School: The Blood & Bone School focused on the use of Ki to permanently enhance certain functions of the Human body. Seung-Jae is the first and only example of this having enhance his vision to the point of reaching the level of night vision (Yah Myung Ah), although he lost his hair in the process and has now resorted to wearing a wig. In addition this school also has a history on pills related to Ki. Also, Seung-Jae was able to make a cure for the Nine Yin Body which was said to be incurable hinting that the school managed to find a cure.
- Mil-Yang Clan: Although not an especially long history with medicine the Mil-Yang Clan has shown skill in medicine by creating an improved version of the Ma-Hwan Dan, the Jin-Gi Dan.
- Heung-In Hospital: The Heung-In Hospital specialize in Ki healing. Currently their head, Ju Sang-Sik is treating Kang-Sung, who suffered critical internal injury after his fight with the Nine Arts Dragon. Also, the good doctor manage to heal Shi-Woon's mother who was in comatose state and other doctors were not sure she could wake up.
Spirit MedicineEdit
- Main article: Spirit Medicine (Dan)
The Medical Sciences even reached as far as the physical form of pills that had a direct effect on the Ki. These pills were named Spirit Medicines since based on the Simgichehon the Ki is the Spirit of the body. Each pill has different use and different effects and side-effects. Their use is not limited to the health issues but extends to the human desire for power. Known medicines are:
- Il-Wol Sin-Dan (One Moon Divine Medicine)
- Hwan Dan (Circulation Medicine)
- Ma-Hwan Dan (Evil-Circulation Medicine)
- Jin-Gi Dan (Accelerating-Ki Medicine)
- Bo-Hyul Dan (Blood Supplement Medicine)
