Matt did a brilliant job repointing two walls of our house at a competitive price. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in future.
Stuart worked very hard and finished the job to a high standard and a fair price. Would highly recommend
Excellent workmanship. So good in fact we have asked him to do a lot more work for us. Friendly, conscientious, clean and tidy.
Sebastian and his colleagues were fantastic. They completed the required work quickly and to a very high standard. The price quoted was just right. The team turned up on time and cleaned up after themselves - leaving the area in a much better state than when they had started. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sebastian and his team, indeed we are looking for them to do further work for us, and we have recommended them widely to neighbours.
Very professional in all areas and did an excellent job. They shared some good ideas about the future development of our garden along the way too. We will be using them again in the future.

Upon his arrival in Petrograd in 1919, Victor Serge—the great chronicler of the Russian Revolution—found a society nearly shattered by civil war. In these essays he sketches a portrait of the darkest hours faced by the fledgling revolution, defending the new regime against its critics.
"The novels, poems, memoirs and other writings of Victor Serge are among the finest works of literature inspired by the October Revolution that brought the working class to power in Russia in 1917. But young radicals often have only a vague sense of him -- and sometimes not even that. The appearance of two collections of his work in Haymarket editions is a welcome development. It's never too late for activists to discover Serge, but when you do, it feels like a revelation."
&mdash Scott McLemee

McMAHON'S TEXAS BIRD (Capsicum annum), also known as Red Bird, was a gift to Thomas Jefferson from Captain Samuel Brown in 1812. (It is now the official pepper of Texas.) Jefferson planted this beautiful decorative pepper in pots and in the kitchen garden. He was particularly intrigued by the claims of medicinal qualities. (Actually true to some degree of most capsicums) The McMahon name was attached when Jefferson sent the seed to his friend and seedsman Bernard McMahon of Philadelphia in 1813, who became the principle commercial grower for it. As most peppers are perennials, this is a great candidate for bringing indoors when weather cools so you can enjoy its fruits through the winter (with sufficient bottom warmth and a grow light) putting it back out when warm weather returns. In this way, it may actually gain the full 4-5 feet size it attains in its native environment.) Very hot - just one of these tiny jewels added without seeds to a small bowl of salsa will give it pleasant heat and piquancy. 25 seeds. 90-100 days.
ABOUT GROWING PEPPERS: Whether Sweet or Heat, peppers must be started indoors and really appreciate bottom warmth (80 degrees) and grow lights for vigorous starts. Be sure to pick varieties that will have sufficient time to complete their growth in your area. Also, hot peppers will be hotter as the temperature rises, so if you want heat and live in the north, buy the hottest varieties available so you won't be disappointed. Vice versa for the south. Use gloves when handling hot pepper seeds and some of the hot peppers themselves. Start peppers indoors 8 weeks before transplanting. Sow seeds 1/4" deep. Keep soil moist. Peppers may take up to two weeks to pop up. When weather warms (daytime soil near 80 degrees and nighttime temps above 50 degrees) you can transplant into rich prepared soil in a sunny position, about 18'' apart and, if in rows, about 24'' apart. I like to give my peppers some support, usually a stake or cage, as productive plants can keel over from the weight of their fruit. Consider spacing your peppers around your vegetable garden, as they can be helpful in warding off furry invaders of your greens and such. Use organic mulch to fend off weeds and keep soil moist in hot dry summers. Peppers need regular moderate watering, but water from below to avoid spreading blossom end rot. Peppers are so versatile. You can use fresh, cook them in a variety of ways, dry many varieties easily, and freeze many varieties for later cooking.
All items tagged "Ships Now," ship same or next business day and you will receive an email with tracking when shipping occurs.

Three Toe Curling Days at Mullaghmore
For three days last week Mullaghmore Head showed its most harrowing of faces, providing a feast of windswept caverns for the fearless few. Dylan Stott was present to surf and witness this swell event. His story depicts three days which further pushed the boundaries of European big-wave surfing.
Words by Dylan Stott.
When I first stood on the bluff at Mullaghmore thirteen years ago and watched the reef bend a 30ft open ocean swell into giant, warping mutants I was not scared. Like generations of surfers before me I thought the place was only for looking at. Now I live only several miles away. Now I have a rule for myself never to look from that bluff anymore. Now I just go straight out from the harbour. Because now that view scares the absolute hell out of me. Because surfing there, even at its biggest and meanest, is now solid concrete reality. And if it's not at its biggest and meanest – we paddle it, which scares me even more.
The Mully Crew is not a fixed size. But there are constants. When surfing Mullaghmore you can count one thing. Paul O'Kane. I won't be the first to say this – Paul O'Kane is the Godfather of Mullaghmore. And like Mario Puzo's Sicilian Godfather, Paul sets the example, and I'm not talking about where to sit and what lines to take, that stuff does not matter really. What matters is that everybody makes it back. Paul is far and away the most accomplished rescue driver on a ski. He has his equipment sussed down to every screw and thread of rope, he has more credentials and more experience than the rest of us – but that's not what makes him so special.
First there was the paddle day. It was the first time I had ever paddled Mullaghmore with more than a handful of people. Usually I'm so scared sitting out in the lineup there that I become physically weak.
Paul is there for us. Like a good Godfather he falls into the protective roll of paternity. If the crew is going out, Paul is there first, waiting patiently in the harbour, ready to help get everybody else's shit together. If we need advice, or to borrow a tool, we don't waste time asking anybody else – straight to Paul. He is an essential part of all the fun we have. He gets plenty of waves, but surfing is not his priority. He wants everybody else to get waves – and he wants everybody to make it back to celebrate with hugs and high-fives.
Paul has been busy lately. This December the storm patterns clicked into a rhythm that kept the surfing population in the north west of Ireland tired, sore and rashed up. Band after band of swell poured off of the North Atlantic as if from a giant machine, rinsed clean by consistent and hard offshore winds.
These images are from three very different days during Saint Nick's season. First there was the paddle day. It was the first time I had ever paddled Mullaghmore with more than a handful of people. Usually I'm so scared sitting out in the lineup there that I become physically weak. The sight of a lump coming in while sitting on a surfboard turns my muscles into jelly and dizzies my courage. My normal long paddles become rushed and panicked. Sometimes I have to sit there and give myself a little pep talk, aloud, just to paddle deep enough to find the takeoff bubble. Sometimes I'll just repeat one thing over and over to myself, "Paul is looking after me, Paul is looking after me."
I'm not the only one. I think all of us out that day had similar problems in dealing with the fear barrier, save one. Fergal sits in the lineup at Mullagh's like a monk sits on a mountain. He is happy. Calm. Contented. Sometimes he whistles a light little tune as he looks around, soaking in the beauty of Donegal Bay. He gave advice to the younger guys out there having a dig at the beast. Guys like Conor Maguire, who at a tender age has graduated from many slabby, smaller waves around Ireland to slabby giant ones.
It was a pretty special session where everybody pushed themselves beyond their comfort zone. And there was about an hour where every good wave that came in had riders, all paddling into their own waves. The small bodyboarding crew of Tom Gillespie, Conor Flanagan, and Shane Meehan also picked off proper set waves under the watchful eyes of the Godfather.
Cain took a beating – Olli caught a rail at high speed which slapped him flat, giving him a small concussion and making him very grumpy – Conor (Flanagan) got his board and leash wedged around his testicles, which hurt him so badly he puked before he even surfaced. All of those were session ending wipeouts, but Paul was there every time.
Which was a good thing because Mullaghmore was in fighting form. Cain took a beating – Olli caught a rail at high speed which slapped him flat, giving him a small concussion and making him very grumpy – Conor (Flanagan) got his board and leash wedged around his testicles, which hurt him so badly he puked before he even surfaced. All of those were session ending wipeouts, but Paul was there every time.
Two days later we were back out there. Too windy and big this time to paddle so we left the big boards at home. We lost Fergal, but Peter Conroy joined us, driving up between his fire fighting night shifts in the Dublin Fire Brigade. Cousins Neil and Easky Britton came along with fresh-faced Conor Maguire. Conor had borrowed a tow board from Ritchie Fitzgerald that was only several years younger than he was. Everybody got great waves, but Conor stole the show, surfing with the poise and style of a man with far more years and experience, a great debut into the Crew.
The finale almost never happened. We were tired. Beat up. Cold to the inner-bone. But the next day was even bigger again. The horrible storm winds going good and light in the afternoon. I sat there all morning at the high tide watching it and decided that it was too good to miss. I called on the crew to tell them. Nobody really thought the winds would back off between the storms, but they did. Nobody was ready for this one. But the crew came, and ninety minutes later we were out there, small in numbers but still a crew, watching the biggest swell of the year pour in over a near dry reef. It was massive and all I could think about was a sad, empty chair at a Christmas dinner table. But I knew Paul was there looking after things, so I tried my best to breathe and got a very special first wave of another epic session.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we start the month of May, it's hard to believe the school year has flown by so quickly! (Although I'm sure many of our seniors could tell you how many days are left until graduation.) The excitement begins to grow at Yarmouth High School as we approach the end of the year. For parents of seniors, graduation coordinator Julie Hutchinson will soon be sending out information regarding the graduation ceremony. For underclassmen, we will be sending out the final exam schedule next week (exams will take place the week of June 13th).
This week, there are plenty of events to keep us busy. The infamous AP season begins on Monday, and we'd like to wish all of our students good luck on these examinations. On Thursday, YHS will host NASA astronaut Jessica Meir, who will be joining us for a school assembly to discuss the importance of math, science, and technology in the 21st Century. I'd like to thank our science teachers Sarah Hirschfeld and Mike Weiss for taking time to coordinate this event for our students.
May also marks a month of celebration, as we continue to recognize the accomplishments of our seniors. This afternoon, Walter Conrad was inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame as one of five high school students honored for their academic and athletic achievements. I would also like to recognize Jacob Cooper, who was recently honored as the PATHS (Portland Arts and Technology High School) student of the year. Both of these individuals were chosen amongst hundreds of deserving students, and epitomize Yarmouth's pursuit of excellence.
Best regards,
Principal's Office >

But I'm not sure that making FFXI "easier" is a bad thing. In all honestly like I said FFXI made somethings needlessly difficult to acomplish (like bad drop rates for QUEST items) and lack of an alternate leveling/playing option. Honestly in WoW Nax was probably the pinacle of difficulty, most players never even saw it before BC came out.
It's not necessarily difficulty that I'm talking about, but design complexity being dumbed down. Look at FFXI's crafting system. You have the moon phase, elemental days, level tests, recipe hunting, the direction you're facing (arguably), your current skill in said craft, your subskills should the recipe require it, different kinds of crystals, and THEN the ingredients for whatever synth you're making. All of these are factors in FFXI crafting, and even then your synth might break. It's not perfect, and could use some more refinement, but this is a wonderful level of complexity in only a single aspect of an MMO.
When you look at more casual games, such as WoW, crafting is easy. Easy to the point of being mind-numbingly boring. You buy recipes from craft npcs. You get the ingredients. You make it. There are no factors. There's nothing at all.
This can be pretty much applied to any aspect of the game. To WoW's credit, being so incredibly easy and simple allows it to appeal to a very, very wide audience. Kudos to them.
But when I maxed professions with little to no effort at all, I realized how boringly simple it was for more seasoned players. I am hoping that while SE removes some unnecessary timesinks and stupidity that may have plagued XI, that they continue XIV in the same spirit as its predecessor.

Pennsylvania Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE Act)
Brittany L. Moore, Esquire
In 2014, the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE Act) opened a door at the federal level to give each state the opportunity to set up programs for people with disabilities and their families to establish tax-advantaged savings accounts without impacting the disabled individual's public benefits.
On April 18, 2016, Governor Wolf signed the Pennsylvania Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (PA ABLE Act). The PA ABLE Act was passed to provide more financial options and security to individuals whom became disabled prior to age 26. This is to be accomplished through savings accounts established for benefit of the disabled individual in which funds may accumulate tax-free to pay for qualified disability expenses without jeopardizing their eligibility for need-based programs such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid.
If an individual becomes disabled prior to the age of 26 and is already receiving SSI and/or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), the individual is automatically eligible to establish an ABLE account. However, if the individual is not currently receiving these benefits, they must first obtain a physician certification to set up an account.
These accounts have many tax advantages. They are able to grow tax-free and are exempt from Pennsylvania inheritance tax. Withdrawals are exempt from federal and state income tax when used for qualified disability expenses such as community living expenses such as education, housing, transportation, employment training and support, assistive technology, housing, personal support services, health, prevention and wellness, financial management and administrative services, legal fees, expenses for oversight and monitoring, funeral and burial expenses, and more.
Typically, the beneficiary of the account is named as the owner, but anyone may contribute. The combined yearly contributions may not exceed $14,000, which will be adjusted annually for inflation. The total account contributions over the life of the beneficiary cannot exceed the limit for Pennsylvania education-related 529 plans. In 2016, this amount was $511,758.
ABLE accounts do not need to be established by the beneficiary. If parent, guardian, or power of attorney opens an ABLE account on behalf of a minor or adult lacking capacity, they are held as the fiduciary and will remain in that role until they decide to relinquish control of the account.
Likewise, ABLE accounts need not be managed by the beneficiary. In Pennsylvania, any person designated in writing by the parent or guardian, a trustee of a trust for which the eligible individual is a beneficiary, if the eligible individual is receiving SSI or SSDI, the representative payee, or anyone else allowed by federal law, which includes parents, guardians, and powers of attorney can have "signatory authority."
Prior to the ABLE Act, individuals with more than $2,000 were deemed ineligible for SSI and other means-tested programs. It is now possible for disabled individuals to hold assets that exceed this individual resource limit in an ABLE account and still qualify for public benefits as long as the account total does not hold more than $100,000. If the ABLE account accumulates more than $100,000, the disabled individual's SSI benefits may be suspended. After the account balance is drawn back to $100,000 or less, their benefits will be reinstated. On the other hand, Medicaid is not impacted by this fluctuation.
ABLE accounts are now available in Pennsylvania. To open a Pennsylvania ABLE account, it is expected that you will go through the Pennsylvania Treasury Department and enroll online or through mail. You visit http://www.paable.gov/index.html to read details of the ABLE program in Pennsylvania, or to enroll in an ABLE account.
If you are a Pennsylvania resident looking to open an ABLE account, it is permissible to do so in another state. However, other state plan contributions are not state-tax deductible.
Recent Changes to Pennsylvania's Power of Attorney Law
If you have an existing power of attorney, you may already be well acquainted with the document. However, you may not be aware of recent changes to Pennsylvania's law governing financial powers of attorney.
A power of attorney ("POA") is a foundational estate planning document that allows another individual to act and make decisions on your behalf. Such authority is especially important if you ever lose mental capacity or are unable to act. In the written POA, the individual executing the document (the "principal") appoints another individual (the "agent") to make financial or health care decisions for the principal. Durable powers of attorney are not affected by the subsequent incapacity of the principal.
Recently, the law in Pennsylvania changed as it relates to powers of attorney that deal with financial directives. Act 95 was signed into law in July 2014 by Governor Tom Corbett. Parts of the law became effective immediately and the remaining portions were effective as of January 1, 2015.
One of the driving forces behind the change was a Pennsylvania Supreme Court case. The Justices reviewed whether statutory immunity extended to third-parties, such as banks and financial institutions, who relied upon a POA that appeared valid on its face, but in fact was not legally valid. Such a scenario exists if a third-party is presented with a POA that has all of the execution requirements and formalities, such as the principal's signature in front of a notary public along with the principal's notice and agent's acknowledgment; however, the principal was actually incapacitated when he or she signed the POA. In the case before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the court decided that third-parties are only entitled to immunity when they act upon legally valid POAs and not those that only appear valid on their face.
How were third-parties to determine whether the principal was competent when he or she executed the POA? Act 95 sought to address this concern and also bring Pennsylvania's POA law more in line with the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, which is a model that all states are encouraged to adopt.
Here is a list of key changes from Act 95:
- New Requirements for Executing a POA: The principal must execute the POA before a notary public and 2 independent witnesses;
- New Formalities Required: The first page of the POA must include a statutory "notice" in capital letters signed by the principal. A "notice" was already required, but now the language has been updated to include more information regarding the agent's ability to act and to make it consistent with the other changes of the law. Similarly, the agent must sign an "acknowledgment" specifying the agent's duties, which were also updated for consistency;
- Agent's Duties Specified: Act 95 specifies three mandatory duties for the agent acting under a POA: acting in good faith; acting only within the scope of authority granted in the POA; and acting in accordance with the principal's reasonable expectations (if actually known) or in the principal's best interests. While the statute includes additional duties for an agent (regarding record keeping, comingling funds, etc.), those duties are defaults, and the POA can contain customized language modifying the agent's responsibilities in those areas;
- Third-Parties' Ability to Request Information: A third-party who is presented with a POA may now request (i) an agent's certification regarding factual matters concerning the principal, agent, or POA; (ii) an English translation if the POA is in a language other than English; and (iii) a legal opinion confirming whether the agent is acting within the scope of authority granted in the POA; and
- Immunity and Acceptance of a POA: A third-party may in good faith accept a POA if the third party is without actual knowledge of the POA being void or deficient. Absent a permissible reason for a third-party to refuse a POA, the third-party must either accept the POA or request one of the items outlined above under #4 within 7 days after being presented with the POA. If the third-party requests an item under #4 above, then within 5 days after receiving the requested information, the third-party must accept the POA unless there is a substantial basis for making further request. A person who refuses to accept the POA is subject to civil liability or a court order mandating acceptance.
What is the take-away from all of this? If you have a current financial POA, you should consider making an appointment to consult with an attorney to see whether your POA should be updated due to the new law.

What Are You Waiting For? A Special Needs Trust is the Best Option
What Are You Waiting For?
Let's say you have a child with "special needs," or another family member. If your estate plan doesn't have a special needs trust, why not? Here are a few of the excuses I've heard, and some thoughts to consider:
I don't have enough money to justify a special needs trust. Really? You don't have $2,000? Because that's all you have to leave to your child outside a special needs trust to jeopardize their SSI and Medicaid eligibility.
I can't afford to pay for the special needs trust. It can be expensive to get good legal help. But the cost of preparing a special needs trust for your child is likely to be much less than the cost of care for a couple of months, which is what will happen if you die without a special needs trust, since it will take that long to maneuver an alternative plan in place. Even if there is no loss of benefits, the cost of fixing the problem after your death will be several times that of getting a good plan in place now, and the result will not be as good.
Proposed Changes to VA Benefits Regulations: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
On January 23, 2015, in an attempt to "maintain the integrity of the program," the VA proposed sweeping changes to its regulations regarding net worth and asset transfers. While some of the proposed changes may be favorable to a claimant by providing some clarity and consistency, many of them may significantly impact a veteran's eligibility for benefits and the timeline in which they will be received.
The Good: Establishing a Bright Line Net Worth Limit
Currently, the VA does not have a clearly established net worth limit. While the VA takes into account such factors as liquidity of assets, number of dependents, and life expectancy of the claimant, there are no definitive criteria for determining whether a claimant's resources are sufficient to meet their basic needs without the pension. However, it has been our experience that only those applicants with a net worth below $80,000 (the lower, the better!) are seriously considered.

JOLIET, Ill., Saturday, Sept. 8, 2007 -- Alex Lloyd claimed his fifth pole of the season, earning the SWE Pole Award for the Chicagoland 100.
Lloyd, who wrapped up the series title at Infineon Raceway on Aug. 25, recorded a lap of 28.7799 seconds, 190.133 mph to earn his 12th front-row start this season. Wade Cunningham (189.916 mph) was second.
The No. 12 Playa Del Racing car driven by Sean Guthrie sports a pink motif for the first time this weekend. Guthrie recently partnered with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world's largest breast cancer organization, to support their October fundraising program, Passionately Pink for the Cure, which is a program where participants wear pink for a day in October and donate at least $5 to Komen for the Cure.
SEAN GUTHRIE (No. 12 Playa Del Racing): "Breast cancer is something that has greatly affected my family as both my mom and aunt are two-time survivors. I'm an advocate for Susan G. Komen for the Cure because the organization is committed to raising awareness for breast cancer as well as raising funds to find the cures for a disease that has claimed so many lives."
SWE Racing owner Steve Eppard headed home for Labor Day weekend, but it was a working weekend. The Quad Cities, Iowa native returned for the Rock Island Grand Prix, promising an Indy Pro Series test to the driver with the best combined finish from the King of the Streets and the ICC races.
Indiana's Kyle Wiegand won the right to test after finishing second in the King of the Streets event and driving from last to first in the ICC event.
STEVE EPPARD (Owner, SWE Racing): "I've been watching Kyle for a couple of years. He showed that he can run from the back to the front. I'm looking forward to testing him in the Indy Pro Series car."
Sunday's Indy Pro Series season finale is the last chance for fans to make donations to the Best Friends Animal Society through the racinglapsforbestfriends.com Web site based on the number of laps Andrew Prendeville completes in his races.
Over the last 18 months Best Friends, the largest no-kill animal sanctuary in the United States, has handled 22 cases specific to Chicago. These have included providing tips on how to successfully add a new cat to a cat household, information on how to find a home for a dog, and how to change the behavior of a biting cat. Best Friends also recently sent a message to its members in the Chicago area to find a home for two cats.
The most significant program that Best Friends is involved with in the area is working with Tio Hardiman, the organizer of the Chicago Campaign to Stop Animal Fighting. He is attempting to stop dog fighting in inner-city neighborhoods by educating youth and dog owners in the area. This is one of many grassroots programs that Best Friends supports and promotes through its extensive network.
The Best Friends network also helped promote the tenth annual Angels with Tails event organized by PAWS in Chicago. This is a premier adoption event showcasing homeless dogs and cats. Animals are placed in storefront windows along Michigan Avenue and Oak Street for viewing. Many of the trendy shops in that area participate each year.
The Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation and Sam Schmidt Motorsports will host several guests as a part of its "Day at the Races" program today at noon in the Club Patron Hospitality Tent. Guests include spinal cord injured patients and patients with other neurological disorders from the Chicagoland area.
Visitors to the event will learn through the program what the work of the foundation seeks to do and what resources may be available to them. For many of the visitors, not only will it be their first time at a race track, but more importantly, their first time out of the hospital.
The event, sponsored by the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation, Chicagoland Speedway, United Medical Providers, Quickie and Patron Spirits and Racing, will include a catered lunch courtesy of Patron Racing Hospitality, speeches from the foundation's president, Ida Cahill, and founder, Sam Schmidt, and a tour of the paddock area of the Chicagoland Speedway. Also, Sam Schmidt Motorsports drivers Alex Lloyd, Ryan Justice, Logan Gomez, and Leilani Munter will be in the tent signing autographs.
SAM SCHMIDT (Founder, Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation/Indy Pro Series team owner): "This program has been getting bigger and better every time we've done it. We're grateful to Andretti Green Racing for all the help and support they've offered us this year, and we're excited about the opportunity to spend time in the Patron Racing tent this weekend. I know they'll do a great job in providing a fun, hospitable atmosphere for our guests this weekend."
The Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation was founded in 2000 while Schmidt was still in the rehabilitation hospital. Its mission is to raise funds to support spinal cord injury research which also benefits stroke victims, people with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, ALS, and other neurological disorders. The foundation is active in advocacy efforts benefiting the disabled and funds organizations throughout the world that directly benefit people with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities. More information can be found at www.samschmidt.org.
At a press conference earlier today, Playa Del Racing announced a multi-year contract with Ethos forEARTH Corporation and Al Unser III for an Indy Pro Series program for 2007.
Ethos forEARTH will become the primary sponsor of the Playa Del Racing Indy Pro Series car No.21 driven by Al Unser III, son of the two-time Indianapolis 500 Champion Al Unser Jr.
Ethos forEARTH Corporation is a network marketing company that owns the exclusive international marketing rights for Ethos Fuel Refomulator, a non-petroleum based fuel additive and engine lubricant that reduces emissions, increases gas mileage, and extends vehicles engine life and performance.
GARY SALLEE (Co-owner of PDR): "Signing Al Unser III to a multi-year commitment means so much to the Playa Del Racing team. We are building a program at Playa Del Racing, and Al (Unser III) is a cornerston in the foundation of our building process."
DAN ATKINSON (CEO of Ethos forEARTH): "Our marketing company currently has thousands of distributors in 16 countries from around the world that proudly represent our product. Distributors are added every day, and each of these independent distributors will be contributing toward the sponsorship of PDR, and Al Unser III.
MIGUEL GALLIMORE (president of Ethos forEARTH): "The Unser family is synonymous with motorsports and they will work closely with Ethos forEARTH to help promote our innovative product. I have been working with network marketing for many years and a deal like this has gone unprecedented. Our goal is to give our distributors the best possible resources to go forward in making their businesses profitable. Having the credibility of the Unser family will absolutely help our people in moving their product."
AL UNSER III (Driver, Playa Del Racing): "Playa Del Racing is my home now. This team has taken me in and I can't even begin to tell you how much that means to me. I've been looking for an opportunity like this for a long time, and I look forward to building my skills in the Indy Pro Series and then taking my career to the next step with this team. ForEARTH is going to be a major part of my career now, and I can't wait to get started working with them."
* This is Alex Lloyd's fifth SWE Pole Award this season and the fifth pole position of his Indy Pro Series career. His last pole came at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in July.
* Lloyd qualified on the front row for the 12th time this season. He qualified on the front row for each Indy Pro Series event where qualifications were held.
* Wade Cunningham qualified second. It is his fourth front-row start this season.
* Ben Petter qualified a career-best third. His previous best was sixth at Kentucky in 2005.
ALEX LLOYD (No. 7 Lucas Oil/Isilon/Sam Schmidt Motorsports, SWE Pole Award winner): "I'm very happy with today. It's going to be a very close race. It's one of those races where no one is going to run away. It's going to be a big pack. I'm happy with the car we've got. It's like playing a chess game, and then hopefully put yourself in the right place. A little bit of luck is involved in winning a race like this, but it's going to be a great race. I'm sure we'll put on a great one for the fans." (About qualifying on the front row for every race where qualifying took place): "That's something that definitely means a lot to myself and the team. When you look at that, that's a pretty good record, especially when you look at all the different kind of tracks we race on. On every weekend, no matter what, we've been right there either the quickest or right there as second quickest. That really shows the performance we've had all year."
WADE CUNNINGHAM (No. 27 Automatic Fire Sprinklers, qualified second.): "We tried some qualifying simulations in the second practice and we ran slower than we did with our race setup. We didn't really know what we were doing today so we just sort of put it back to where it was and sent it out to qualify. So we weren't really sure what was going to happen, but we're second at the moment. I'm sure the other Sam Schmidt car is going to be quick, so I wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion yet. But we have a reasonable time -- we're close to Alex (Lloyd), but not quicker than him. They've had the dominate car all season and we'll have to work harder to catch them."
JIMMY KITE (No. 43 SWE Racing/SWE Race Car Parts, qualified 14th): "It's been a lot of learning. It's a brand new car and obviously we've got a rookie driver in it. It's a lot of fun. It seems like every time we go out we learn something a little new. Running in the packs I know is a lot of fun. It's fun watching too. It's going to be fun to be out there in the middle of it. There's a rookie group of us. But if (team owner) Steve (Eppard) decides to bring me back next year, we'll know when we come back what to do differently. But we'll make some changes. It looks like we have a couple cars to pass tomorrow, but it makes it a fun day."
The next Indy Pro Series event is the Chicagoland 100 on Sept. 9 at Chicagoland Speedway. ESPN2's coverage of the race will be televised at 5 p.m. on Sept. 13.

First Graders Plotted to Poison Classmate, Officials Say
A school district in Alaska says three first-graders plotted to kill a classmate with poison.
Parents of 32 first-graders at Winterberry Charter School in Anchorage received an email Tuesday saying the students, all girls, planned to kill a fellow student with silica gel in the mistaken belief that it's poison.
School district officials say the students acknowledged they planned the poisoning after another child told a teacher.
"Three students in the class were planning on using the silica gel packets (these are not actually poison, but the students believed they were) from their lunchtime seaweed to poison and kill another student," the email said.
After disciplining the girls was left up to the school district, the email to parents said there would be "significant consequences."
District spokeswoman Heidi Embley declined to reveal to InsideEdition.com what those consequences will be.
However, principal Shanna Mall told KTUU the children will be suspended.
In a statement, the school district said:
"Student safety is our top priority. We take any threat to students very seriously and investigate it immediately. We have safety measures in place at every one of our schools.
"Staff at Winterberry Charter School took prompt action when the concern came to staff's attention last week. While we cannot go into details on whether the young students fully understood their intended actions or what disciplinary actions were taken, we encourage parents to speak to their children about being safe."

Passion for the game Flappy Birds long been settled, however, some developers continue to attempt to repeat the success of this project. What exactly it happens - to create very complex games that look the same style. For the final chord of something is not enough, but that's a question for the audience. Today we continued efferent brain games Swing Copters from the developers of DOTGEARS, who have acquired more than five million downloads on the first part and want to get even more in the second. That's just my feeling that most of the fans had already killed themselves first and the second will not be able to play at all desire ... and if anyone had survived, this part will finish it exactly!
To say that the game has some idea difficult, because the idea itself is not - all you have to fly up as high as possible while avoiding collisions with obstacles and boundaries of the screen. Sounds simple, but because of the very sensitive control will make it extremely difficult ... you try at least to reach the first obstacle, that's what I tell you! Our hero is some type of pajamas with a hood and a propeller on his head, which allows you to fly up. Obstacles are the platform and swinging loads, you pretty quickly begin to hate.
Making the game too easy, it's a bit pixel, no extra items or ornaments on the playing field is not present, the colors are soft and soothing, that's just it does not help. It does not help and good animation ... well only help the long hours of practice and incredible patience.
In addition to at least some results in the game Swing Copters 2 may seek to unlock new characters that do not change the situation much of the complexity of the game, but will add at least some variety in what is happening.
The result: the first part of the second differs only slightly more attractive image, Save terribly complicated gameplay. In the game there Donat and advertising, but Donato does not help, and advertising will have to endure, but the least of your problems, believe me;)

OSAKA (Reuters) - Video evidence was used to award a penalty for the first time in a FIFA competition at the Club World Cup on Wednesday and there was controversy over the decision itself and the time taken to reach a verdict.
Japanese champions Kashima Antlers were the beneficiaries after an off-field official known as a video assistant referee (VAR) called Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai's attention to an infringement by Atletico Nacional's Orlando Berrio.
Kassai indicated that he would review the incident which he watched on a computer screen at the side of the pitch before deciding to award a penalty.
Shoma Doi converted the spot-kick for Kashima, who went on to beat the South American champions 3-0.
Berrio tripped Daigo Nishi as the players moved into the box to challenge for a free kick, but the decision provoked anger from fans who thought Nishi was offside when the free kick was taken.
There was also concern about the time taken to make the decision.
The ball remained in play for 45 seconds after the penalty incident during which Atletico lost possession and Kashima launched another attack which was cleared by Atletico who then counter-attacked and won a throw-in.
Atletico were about to take the throw when Kassai called for a review, one minute and 10 seconds after the incident. It took another one minute and five seconds before the penalty was awarded.
"After receiving information about a missed incident from Video Assistant Referee Danny Makkelie, referee Viktor Kassai made the TV signal to indicate that he would conduct an on-field review of footage via the pitch-side monitor," FIFA said in a statement.
"Prior to that, the assistant referee had correctly applied the 'wait and see' technique with regard to the offside position of the player who was fouled."
"The offside offence never materialised because the player was unable to challenge the opponent for the ball," it added
Soccer's world governing body has called the technology a big step forward for the game but had also said it was entering "uncharted waters".
The trial during seven matches in Japan involves off-field VARs monitoring the action and calling the referee's attention to "clear mistakes in match-changing situations," such as goals, penalty decisions, direct red cards and mistaken identity.
Its trial use at the Club World Cup - a tournament for the world's continental title holders plus the host nation's champions - follows the successful introduction of goal-line technology used to rule when a ball has crossed the goal line.
Leagues in 12 countries have confirmed they will participate in a two-year experiment with VARs.
"Today, we were victims of this innovation," said Atletico coach Reinaldo Rueda. "However, we can't say that we lost the game because of technology."

Vikings start showing up at team's headquarters
By Jon Krawczynski, AP Sports Writer
EDEN PRAIRIE -- Percy Harvin was the first player to walk through the doors of Minnesota Vikings headquarters on Tuesday, the first time in more than four months that NFL players were allowed to meet with coaches and workout at team facilities.
The first one out the door? That appears to be Jimmy Kennedy.
The backup defensive tackle tweeted on Tuesday that he had been released by the team, as the business of football finally gets back into motion.
"Viking fans, Thank you for accepting me as your own, but Im sorry to (inform) you I AM NO LONGER With the Team," Kennedy wrote on Twitter. "I love you guys."
The 31-year-old Kennedy had eight tackles in nine games for the Vikings last season. He was scheduled to make $2.5 million in 2011, and the Vikings need to cut about $5 million to get below the $120 million salary cap.
The NFL and its players ended their long and sometimes bitter labor dispute on Monday, agreeing to a new deal that will last for the next 10 years.
Up until that point, players were barred from showing up at team facilities, or even talking to their coaches, for all but one day during the lockout.
Players could officially start showing up at 9 a.m. Central time on Tuesday, and Harvin didn't waste any time getting to Winter Park to meet with his new offensive coaches. The receiver missed two games last season because of recurring migraine headaches and had yet to meet new offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave, who will bring a vastly different system to Minnesota this season.
"I told coach that for this team and for me it's greatness this year or it's disappointment, a failure," Harvin said in a video posted on the team's website.
If the Vikings can't re-sign free agent receiver Sidney Rice, Harvin's role in the offense could expand even further this season.
Others who arrived Tuesday included defensive captain E.J. Henderson, left guard Steve Hutchinson, second-year running back Toby Gerhart and veteran tight end Jim Kleinsasser. Rookie quarterback Christian Ponder and rookie tight end Kyle Rudolph also made appearances, though none of the players were made available for interviews.
"It'll be the start of some good things to come," Ponder said on Vikings.com. "I'm excited about it. It's crazy because I never thought it would come. It's great that it's finally here."
Vikings officials, including vice presidents Rick Spielman and Rob Brzezinski, were working hard to digest the new rules. Teams could begin signing rookies and college free agents on Tuesday, but the team made no announcements of any transactions.
The Vikings also were able to open negotiations with veteran free agents, though no official contracts can be signed until Friday. The agent for San Diego Chargers safety Eric Weddle said he had several conversations with the Vikings as soon as the market opened.
David Canter's client is expected to draw considerable interest, and money, on the free agent market as perhaps the top safety available. The Vikings could use an upgrade there, with veteran Madieu Williams a disappointment in his first three seasons in purple.
The Vikings are scheduled to report to training camp in Mankato on Sunday, with the first practice held the next day.

Erik Spoelstra tried everything. And anything. All it added up to was the Miami Heat's fourth loss in five games this season at AmericanAirlines Arena.
This time it added up to a 102-91 loss to the Utah Jazz that dropped them to 2-6 in a young season already growing old.
"Definitely wasn't expecting that," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "And that's not who we are. That's not who we've been."

Chinese president Xi Jinping warned that his country faces "rampant momentum" from terrorists after knife-wielding attackers killed 29 and injured more than 140 at a railway station deep in the country's southwest.
The violence brought into sharp relief the seething discontent that underlies China's often harsh handling of critics and minority groups, and the risks that can accompany such policies.
The country's latest nightmare unravelled Saturday evening in Kunming, the capital of distant Yunnan province not far from China's borders with Vietnam and Myanmar. Photos shared on social media showed pools of blood lying on tiled floors in the ticket area of the railway station. First-person accounts posted online offered a glimpse of utter panic as the attackers — Chinese authorities said there were at least 10 — slashed through crowds, leaving people running for their lives.
"I saw two people holding big knives attacking people, whoever they saw," wrote Lu Haiyan, who identifies herself as a local journalist, on social media site qq.com. "So horrifying! I have never been so scared," she wrote. Another social media user said of the attackers: "those animals wouldn't let go of children."
Just hours after the violence, which also saw four of the attackers killed, Chinese authorities pinned the blame on "Xinjiang separatist forces." That added to an increasingly lengthy list of terrorist actions Beijing has ascribed to a restive region with a large population of Muslim Uighur people.
The attribution left some doubtful: China has rushed to attribute a series of attacks — including a suicide bombing on the threshold of Tiananmen Square last August — on Uighur activists, but offered scant proof.
Xinjiang is a vast province, larger than Quebec, on China's western flank. Its capital of Urumqi is as far from Kunming as Albuquerque, New Mex. is from Toronto. "Until we get better evidence of who exactly was involved, I think it's important to have a certain skepticism," said Dru Gladney, a researcher at Pomona College who has spent 30 years specializing in Xinjiang and Chinese Muslim groups.
But, he said, "if it is indeed Uighurs, it is a whole new level of conflict."
In 2013, activists counted 219 deaths from violence in Xinjiang, amid an increasingly forceful Chinese surveillance and security crackdown in the years following riots in July, 2009 in Urumqi that left 197 dead. Those riots were rooted in a bid to demand justice for a killed Uighur factory worker; they were followed by an overpowering Chinese response that, according to Amnesty International, included arbitrary detention of hundreds and the disappearance — and torture — of numerous others.
China has made Xinjiang a central prong of a western expansion that has sought both to tap the region's natural resources, and to use it as a strategic gateway for an increasingly important trade with Central Asian states, whose energy and minerals Beijing covets. Beijing has poured money into Xinjiang, and justifiably boasted of the rising standards of living in the region. But it has also overseen a massive wave of immigration to the region by ethnic Han Chinese, who have made Uighurs a minority in their own homeland. Many Uighurs now feel increasingly squeezed out culturally and politically — sometimes in very overt ways, such as in government job postings that exclude them.
Xinjiang is "critical to China's future, and I think because it is so important, there has been this heavy-handed top-down policy of development," Mr. Gladney said. "But I think it's blowing up in China's face."
Sean R. Roberts, a cultural anthropologist at The George Washington University who has studied the Uighur population, compares their plight to that of Native Americans in the mid to late-1800s, when the U.S. west-ward expansion involved "essentially overwhelming and completely marginalizing native populations."
China has tended to add to the problem by portraying Uighurs as backwards, and violent. That has engendered little sympathy. On Chinese social media on Sunday, some voiced racial fear: "now when I walk on the road and see Xinjiang people, I will feel scared," one person wrote.
Critics suggest China has done too little to empower the Uighur population, disenfranchising a group that has, in decades past, felt surprising warmth toward Beijing. Now the rise of violence, in particular the Kunming railway attack that appeared better-orchestrated than others, "underscores the enormous problem China has on its hands if it doesn't get it right. It's not just going to be in Urumqi or in Kashgar. It's going to be throughout the country," warned Mr. Gladney.Report Typo/Error

On many databases, this implementation is O(N^2) in the number of rows. Also, the use of multiple mappers has low value in terms of throughput, because the database itself is inherently singlethreaded.

Typhoon Sendong
December 19, 2011 by staff
Typhoon Sendong, TROPICAL STORM Sendong (international name: Washi) exited the country yesterday with the death toll rising to more than 500, hundreds more missing and thousands of families affected, the government said yesterday.
As of 6 p.m., Undersecretary Benito T. Ramos, National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) executive director, tallied 516 casualties, majority of whom were from Iligan City (214) in Lanao del Norte, and Cagayan de Oro City (252) in Misamis Oriental, the two cities hit hardest by the storm.
The rest of the casualties were from Sibulan, Valencia, Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental; Zamboanga del Norte; Compostela Valley; and Bukidnon.
Mr. Ramos expects the numbers to rise as the country takes stock of the devastation mainly in Northern Mindanao.
"'Yung missing 274 pa, pero baka hindi [iyan] accurate… [We have 274 persons missing, but that may not be accurate]," said Mr. Ramos by phone, noting that verification is ongoing.
For its part, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has a higher casualty count as of 7 p.m.: 652 deaths and 808 others missing.
The cost of damage has yet to be assessed as the incident occurred at about 2 a.m. on Saturday.
Sendong on Friday made landfall in Surigao del Sur and moved westward over Northern Mindanao towards Palawan, according to the weather bureau.
The storm dumped over 181 millimeters (mm) of rainfall in 24 hours, equivalent to more than a month of rain, noted Mr. Ramos.
He likened the event to the destruction wrought by Ondoy (Ketsana) in September 2009, when more than 400 mm from continuous rain flooded Metro Manila and surrounding areas.

Home > Community > Health Library > Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome and Peptic Ulcer
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare condition in which tumors called
gastrinomas form in the pancreas or part of the upper small intestine
(duodenum). The tumors secrete large amounts of a hormone called gastrin.
Gastrin signals the stomach to produce more acid.
This syndrome is extremely rare, but it may be considered as a cause
when a person has severe or repeated peptic ulcers.
The main treatment for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is taking proton pump inhibitors and removing the
tumors causing the overproduction of acid. If
this surgery is successful, you will no longer need to take medicines.

Macc seal double swoop
Macclesfield have completed the loan signings of Sean Hessey and Ryan Cresswell until the end of the season
By Joe Drabble
Last Updated: 10/01/08 5:07pm
Macclesfield boss Ian Brightwell has been handed a double transfer boost after securing the services of Sean Hessey and Ryan Cresswell until the end of the season.
Hessey's initial loan spell at Moss Rose had expired - but Chester have agreed for the 29-year-old to extend his stay with the Silkmen.
Brightwell has also expressed his delight at the capture of Sheffield United defender Cresswell.
The 20-year-old centre-half is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Blades - but has had regular first-team football during loan spells at Halifax, Rotherham and most recently Morecambe during the last year.
Silkmen boss Ian Brightwell said: "I'm delighted to get Ryan down to Moss Rose as I know he's a player Bryan Robson rates highly.
"At 6ft 2in he has the height that we have probably been lacking at the back and certainly adds to our defensive options."

Content responsibility
We receive the occasional request to shut down or delete domain names due to suspicions of illegal activity connected to the sites. We would therefore like to clarify what Norid's responsibilities are in this context, and what some of the consequences of deleting a domain name are.
At the same time we also want to give some information on what you, the Internet user, can do if you believe that the content on a website is in breach with Norwegian law.
Norid's role
Our role as a registry is to administer the Norwegian top-level domain and maintain the central database for all domain names within .no. Norid administers a resource which is important to all parts of Norwegian society, but this does not mean that we are responsible for the uses of or the content within the actual domains. The service we provide can be compared to looking up an address in the phonebook directory. However, the content within a domain does not pass through our computers.
Norid's mandate
The domain name policy for .no defines which requirements must be met before we can delete a domain name against the holder's wishes, see paragraph 11 of the domain name policy. The requirements are strict and apply to a very small selection of cases. All of these have reference to the registration itself, not to the use of or the content within the domain. The domain name policy is determined according to the Domain Regulation. The Domain Regulation is under provision of the Law on Electronic Communication, note especially § 7-1.
Norid does not have the authority to delete or shut down a domain name except from the cases specified in the domain name policy. Deletion due to supposed illegal content is not within our mandate.
Significant intervention
Deleting a domain name is a significant intervention that can have great consequences for the individual business as well as for society as a whole. Removal of a domain name will always affect everything within the domain, and it may also affect other domain names. To give an example: If we delete uio.no because a student has published illegal content on one of the websites belonging to the University of Oslo, a deletion will affect the entire university. All email addresses, all webpages and all services connected with uio.no will eventually stop working. This includes the services belonging to the university's computer emergency response team, UiO CERT, whose domain name is cert.uio.no. Taking this theoretical example a step further, if sio.no, the domain name belonging to The Foundation for Student Life in Oslo (SiO), has its name servers set up within uio.no. A deletion of uio.no will then also terminate all activity within sio.no.
It is not possible to know beforehand how many email addresses, webpages, subdomains and services a given domain name hosts.
Technical limitations
Even if a domain name is deleted from the DNS, it does not immediately result in one hundred percent unavailability to the public. Depending on how the network provider produces their name service, other customers who have their Internet access through the same provider might continue to have access to the websites and services for a while, even if the domain name has been deleted. This goes for email, too. In addition, spammers have methods where they link directly to a machine address (IP address) instead of going via Norid's database to reach the website.
The only technically certain way to render a website completely inaccessible to others, is to delete the site itself. It is also possible to remove the whole domain by deleting it from the name servers. This can only be done on the computers where the domain or the content is hosted, usually by the Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If you discover illegal activities on a website
- Contact the domain name holder
In Norid's whois database you will find names and contact information for all .no domain name holders. The holder is responsible for the use of the domain name and any content published on the website.
- Contact the registrar or the ISP
Norid's database may be useful here as well. By clicking on the field REGISTRAR HANDLE you will find out who the registrar for the domain name is. The registrar and the ISP are often identical. Norwegian ISPs tend to have their own rules for what kind of content their customers may publish on the Internet and they usually have their own abuse teams that can help you.
- Contact the police
If you believe that the activities on the website are so serious that it is urgent to get the content removed or the service shut down, you should contact the police. You may at the same time consider whether to inform the domain name holder that you have contacted the police and that you will bring charges. This will often be enough to get the content removed.
- Interim court order
If it is very urgent to get the website shut down, it is possible to get an interim court order. This is a legal action which is used to avoid damages or inconvenience until a legally binding court decision is made, something that usually takes a long time. We strongly recommend that you contact the police in these cases, too.
In a motion for an interim court order, you have to state your name and the name of the organisation that is responsible for the website, as well as both parties' addresses and phone numbers if at all possible. When you present the case, you must explain which website you want shut down and provide the reasons for your claim, as well as documentation. You should also explain how the shutdown should be done, e.g. by removing the name servers, a particular webpage or the entire domain. In closing, you formulate a statement of claim that in few and presice words say what you would like the court's decision to be. In addition you may state a claim for coverage of your costs. The motion, along with any enclosures, must be delivered in four signed copies to the local court (tingrett) where the organisation has its address. It is advisable to get assistance from a law practitioner to draw up the motion.
Keep in mind that the court may demand that you can guarantee economic security for your claim, e.g. if shutting down the website will have economic consequences for the domain name holder.
If we receive a court ruling that a domain name is to be deleted, e.g. in the form of an interim court order, we will follow up immediately under provision of the domain name policy for .no.
If you believe that you have discovered illegal content on a website within a .no domain, we recommend that you follow this procedure:

Question: Beatrice Watts is interested in launching her own bakery in
Beatrice Watts is interested in launching her own bakery in her community. She has long wanted to do this given her interest in baking and her desire to use some of the recipes she learned watching her grandmother cook when she was younger. In response to talking to her about her business idea, a local investor has agreed to partially fund Beatrice's bakery. Beatrice is very appreciative of the investor's interest and pleased to learn that she will receive some of the funds from him that she needs to open her bakery. She wonders though if there are any other ways the local investor might be of value to her as she launches her entrepreneurial venture. Given your knowledge about investors and their potential contributions to entrepreneurs, what would you tell Beatrice she might expect from the local investor?

I loved that this course was taught by women, for women, and in a really supportive environment. It was a really fun class!
Our class is based on the most up-to-date and advanced avalanche safety standards from the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education (AIARE), and is taught by exceptional, experienced instructors qualified by AIARE.
We cater specifically to women, providing a comfortable, fun learning atmosphere to gain the knowledge and skills to become more confident and safe in the backcountry. The course covers awareness of hazardous conditions, dynamics of snowpack and weather, effective teamwork, and how to plan for and safely travel in avalanche terrain. Combining classroom and field components each day, this course empowers our students with the knowledge and confidence to make safer backcountry decisions.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will obtain their AIARE-Avalanche Level 1 certificate.
Need financial help to pay for an avalanche education course? View our Avalanche Scholarship Program to learn more about whether you meet any of the criteria.
Day 1
In the classroom, we'll study avalanches, route-selection, snowpack, and gear. Then we'll head outside to practice effective companion rescue techniques.
Day 2
In the classroom, we plan and prep for our backcountry tour, learn to access online avalanche information and how to interpret the avalanche report. We'll study avalanche terrain recognition, snow pack assessment and terrain selection before spending the day on a ski tour. While outside, we'll practice snowpack stability tests and use visual clues to determine avalanche potential.
Day 3
More eye-opening morning class time on mountain weather and snowpack stability. We'll study the human factors of decision making in avalanche terrain. Learn decision making skills, effective communication strategies, and how to avoid common heuristic traps. Then we'll head out on the skin trail for most of the day, studying route finding and travel techniques. Bring it all together on a tour with the goal of making good decisions in the backcountry. Tour location Vail Pass, weather and conditions dependent.
Backcountry skis or split-board, ski poles, ski or snowboard boots, climbing skins, avalanche beacon, avalanche probe, avalanche shovel, backcountry backpack, and proper outerwear and warm layers for field time. A limited quantity of G3 shovels, G3 probes, and BCA beacons in an Osprey Ski Pack are available to rent for the course on a first-come, first-serve basis. We recommend Mountain Outfitters in Breckenridge to rent a backcountry ski set up, or Mountain Wave for a splitboard set up.
FLY: To Denver or Vail/Eagle airport in Colorado.
DRIVE: To Frisco, CO. Our classroom will be in Frisco, and our tour days will be on Vail Pass, conditions and weather dependent. Other locations in the USFS White River National Forest are possible. Frisco is a good option for lodging.
I loved that this course was taught by women, for women, and in a really supportive environment. It was a really fun class!
This was an amazing avalanche course. The knowledge of the instructors was truly exceptional. I feel once again empowered to enjoy traveling in the winter backcountry terrain. They are "bad-ass". Thanks!
The all women's environment was amazing! The simple fact that I never felt embarrassed to ask a question made me learn so much more.
What a great weekend! Can't wait to practice all my new skills. Thanks Jenna, Sarah, Nancy, and Leighan for all the knowledge you shared!

Most Helpful Girl
In response to your last two updates:
1. In my view, it's safer for a woman to have a career before getting married. Even if she stops working once she's married, having credentials and experience can help if she has to start working again (e.g. husband loses job/family needs more financial support, or the marriage fails). I live in a town where wives typically don't work, and I can't tell you how many women have struggled when their husbands divorce them in their 50's and they hardly have any experience to get back into the workforce with a salary to support themselves 2+ kids in college. While I'm not saying this is a good plan for everyone, it's definitely something I plan to follow.
You can work on a career while you're married, but at that point women have a household to take care of. Also, a married woman is less likely to get hired or paid a higher salary because many employers assume she'll start a family and won't work anymore. Again this all depends on many factors, but the stereotype is out there. It's easier to work on these things while you're single.
2. This relates to #1. I don't think most women assume a man will control them or abuse them, but you have to be prepared in case they leave. I don't have any statistics but it's safe to say your "90%" isn't recorded data either, especially when the divorce rate for first marriages is 40-50% depending on the source. Therefore, more than 10% of men (AND women) can and will "do that."
Only in specific cases can you blame the woman for not judging a person's character well. After dating for six years and raising four kids during a 20+ year marriage, when the husband has an affair you can't blame the wife for being a poor judge of character. Maybe you can blame her for other things, but you can't blame her for rushing into a marriage or not knowing her husband would be a cheater.
So, I don't think what you've learned is "very interesting" but is instead unfair. Men also have to be cautious of their wives leaving them, but the financial repercussions are typically less severe.00|00|0
I understand the point about being less likely to get married or paid more due to being married (assuming its true). Other than that I still think your playing the victim card. You act like men don't make any contribution to running a household, a marriage, or raising kids. We have our own sets of responsibilities which many times are the same as a woman. OK maybe my numbers are inflated, but frankly a lot of that is because of plain stupidity. People getting married at 18 or divorcing for dumb
reasons like, we don't talk as much anymore, or I feel like we just take care of the kids and go to work. People aren't as willing to put work into their marriage as they once were because divorce is simply more acceptable. In the past, if things get rocky (which at some point they will), People worked at fixing the problems, now they just rush to their lawyer at the first cry of the wolf.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Putting a sales coach on the bakery staff can pay big dividends.
That's what Darrell Brensing, vice president of education at the American Institute of Baking, Manhattan, Kan., told retailers at the Atlantic City Bakery Expo held here last month.
Brensing led a seminar on how to get bakery and deli associates out of the order-taking mode and into the selling mode.
Brensing said a "sales coach" can simply be an associate who is a good salespe
