2015 Best Book Awards Finalist
While preparing to give birth to her first daughter, actress Jenna von Oy, well-known for her roles as Six on Blossom and Stevie on The Parkers, discovered that the market was filled with clinical guides to pregnancy and beyond. Though they had their merits, she craved a best friend's guide . . . one that didn't sugarcoat reality but still offered relatable and heartfelt reassurance. Thus, Situation Momedy: A First-Time Mom's Guide to Laughing Your Way through Pregnancy & Year One was born.
Jenna brings readers a lighthearted and comedic look at pregnancy and the first year of motherhood, highlighting major mommy milestones with chapters like "Houston, We Have a Pregnancy," "This Is Your Brain on Baby," "Bringing Sexy Back," and "All's Fair in Love and Mommy Wars."
"I am thrilled to have an opportunity to share Situation Momedy with my mommy peers. As the cliché goes, laughter is the best medicine. But that's not a dosage most doctors can prescribe! I'm not the first woman to have kids, and there will certainly be countless mothers after me, so my book isn't an attempt to reinvent the wheel or deliver a how-to on all things mommy-related . . . I'm still a work in progress too! I think honesty and vulnerability can go a long way toward helping other moms feel less alone in the chaos of the mommy learning curve. In releasing Situation Momedy, I hope to inspire women to embrace the tough times with extra love and laughter, and to be empowered to trust their own instincts!" —Jenna

Networking is the best way to get your toe in the door at a recognized company. I am newly licensed Life , Health and Accident insurance agent. I also took classes on insurance underwriting and insurance law, which thniking would give me a push into underwriting. I was very interested in the classes and am edgar to learn more. How would one go about entry level underwriting. Seems as if recognized companies don't want to train. They want someone experienced. Well, where did the experienced start out? Right where I am today.

Saving Money with Application and Service Consolidation
A number of factors have caused IT organizations to support a variety of applications. They include: specialized needs, politics, mergers and acquisitions and simply unmanaged application growth. These combine to cause IT to have an excessive number of applications to support.
Organizations now need to go back and weigh the trade offs of total cost and total benefits to then make the appropriate business decision about whether to continue supporting each application. On that note, application is a limiting term but one many IT people can relate to. The problem is that the application view fails to account for all that goes into supporting a solution. Instead, we need to think in terms of services.
The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) espouses the perspective that IT provides services to the business that are comprised of software, hardware, facilities, people, vendors, contracts and so forth. These all come at a monthly cost that can be calculated and compared to the benefits for both IT and the business to decide how to proceed with each service: continue as-is, consolidate with another IT service or shut the existing service down outright.
To manage this efficiently and effectively, a formal project should be launched with the objective to identify underutilized services and then appropriately disposition them. The project should be funded and resourced based on the scope of effort, technologies involved, and so forth. If not handled as a project, then there is a high probability that risks will not be effectively managed. Moreover, this effort will recur on a scheduled basis and can benefit from reviewing the lessons learned after each project.
The first task is to inventory services. This is far easier said than done. At a minimum, IT needs to document parent-child relationships between business services, IT services, applications/software and the relevant supporting hardware. Applications that cannot be linked to business services are immediate candidates for decommissioning.
As IT services are documented, a review must take place to identify where there are functional overlaps or utilization that crosses some pre-defined lower threshold, say, for example, 10%. Whatever the defined criteria is, the low-utilization or functionally redundant services should then be reviewed by a board comprised of the business and IT to decide the fate of the service.
To re-iterate, care must be given to document the candidates for decommissioning and solicit input from business and IT personnel before simply shutting the service down. For example, some service may appear unused, be dismantled and then unavailable for use when desperately needed by the business at year end.
Services that are identified for consolidation or removal need to be project managed to better ensure not only effectiveness and efficiency but also that risks are properly mitigates. In terms of planning, for example, the following are potential factors to take into account:
- If any design changes are needed to the existing services to support the new users. This could include business rules, table design, reporting, etc.
- How to migrate existing users to another service and this includes training, access levels, etc. -Any security requirements that the old system had that the new system must accommodate.
- Any regulatory compliance requirements that the old system had that the new system must accommodate.
- How to migrate data, if any, to the new service?
- Will the existing service be left operational in read-only mode for a period of time to allow for research?
- What data integrations may need to change.
- If the existing service has adequate capacity, availability and continuity support (note, these are important requirements to address in virtualized environments, as well).
- What to do with the hardware of the service being shut down.
- What security procedures need to be followed to wipe existing hard drives and backup media. -Data retention requirements that need to be supported.
- Any special business events that could affect the project schedule. For example, if the remaining service has peak demand in November and December then it may be wise to target the end of the migration for August 31st.
There needs to be a planned and managed method to identify applications that can be consolidated or shut down. Rather than treat them simply as applications, a services mindset is needed to understand what other dependencies may exist and, ultimately, what the supporting hardware components are.
The decision to consolidate or shut down services must be made jointly by the business and IT based on an understanding of total costs, total benefits and risks. Once services have been identified for consolidation or removal, there needs to be a well thought out plan that minimizes negative impacts to the business while facilitating the disposition of targeted systems. The end result will be a more streamlined production IT environment that meets the needs of the business at a lower cost and with better managed risks.

From chapter "Beauty"
Here is my own informal list of what I think are a few really great innovations, inventions, and creations, this from a perspective that is at least an attempt to not be human supremacist, and that does not take as a given that what humans create has meaning and what anyone else creates does not. I'm not going to claim that these are the most foundational creations, or most important, or anything else other than that they are pretty great.
There is matter, space, and time. Without them there is nothing.
There is nuclear fusion, developed by the sun and other stars. Without it we'd all be very cold.
There is gravity, and other forms of attraction. Without it things would fall apart rather quickly.
There is motion, developed by the first entities who moved.
There is electricity, which was not in fact developed by humans. There is sunshine, which feels really good on a nice fall day. Don't you love how it warms you all over?
There is homeostasis. How great is that?
There is fire, which also was not developed by humans, but by fire itself.
There is water, and there is ice, and there are clouds. There is rain.
There are oceans. There are rivers. There are springs. I remember as a child marveling at a huge bubbling spring that birthed a river fully formed, and wondering how it never ran out of water. There is the whole hydrologic cycle.
There are rocks, like water their own beings, in many cases long lived. They are foundational.
There is metabolism. Eating is a good thing, is it not?
There is cell division.
There is oxygen combustion.
There is sexual reproduction. There is reproduction without sex. There is sex without reproduction.
There are butterflies. Moths. There are leaf insects. There are grasshoppers who bury their clutches of eggs, like tiny sea turtles.
There are fireflies.
There are the fall colors of trees.
There is that light green of new growth on trees.
There is the sound of feet on dry leaves on a forest floor.
There are feet.
There are cilia.
And there are eyes. Can you imagine anything so brilliant? Who came up with that?
Or what about the sense of touch? Is this more brilliant than vision? Smell. Hearing. Taste. Which is the most brilliant? Don't ask me; I'm certainly not smart enough to figure it out. They're all good. And what about other senses unknown to humans?
Fruits and berries. One of the most brilliant ideas ever: putting your seeds in attractive, nourishing packaging which will lead someone to consume your seeds, deliver them elsewhere, and plant them in a bed of manure, which, it ends up, is, in another burst of brilliance, food for your child. Everybody wins! Is this a great idea, or what?
Proprioception. Have you ever wondered how hard life would be if this innovation had never taken place?
And while we're talking about bodies, isn't medicine amazing? Of course, humans didn't invent the practice of the "diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease."
There are anglerfish and whale sharks. There are algae.
Spider silk, echolocation, beaver dams, birds' nests, flowers.
There are families of wolves, families of baboons, families of elephants, families of chimpanzees, families of bees, families of alligators, families of frogs, families of plants, families of bacteria, multispecies families, like forests, like rivers, like you. There are families.
Friendship is a wonderful innovation.
There are roots to nestle deeply into soil. There are roots who wrap around each other to hold up friends and comrades and lovers.
Wings. There are wings for flying and wings for swimming.
Fat. Isn't that a marvelous way to store energy and to keep you warm?
Muscle. Who invented muscles? They're extraordinary.
Blood. Sap. Water.
I could go on and on, but perhaps it's best if you come up with your own.

Hi there,
I'm trying to change the prettyphoto theme to dark_squared.
I've changed the settings.theme="dark_square"; (on line 55 and 57) in the jquery.prettyPhoto.js file but the white version is still shown.
Can someone tell me where I have to adjust the theme settings?
Thanx in advance,
Wally Watz.
you can change the theme in js/avia.js – search for following line:
elements.prettyPhoto({ "theme": 'premium_photo', 'slideshow': 5000 });
Thanks for this — After updating prettyphoto i was wondering where to change the theme.
The topic 'change theme of prettyphoto' is closed to new replies.

Trostberg, February 7, 2017 – AlzChem AG (together with its subsidiaries hereinafter "AlzChem"), a vertically integrated specialty chemicals producer with a leading market position in selected niche markets, is postponing its planned IPO. The first day of trading of the shares of AlzChem AG in the Regulated Market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange was initially planned for February 10, 2017.
Although index levels are relatively high at the moment, the market environment currently dominated by political issues caused persistent uncertainty when it comes to making new investments. Despite significant institutional investor interest in Europe and the USA, a placement within the aspired price range was therefore ultimately not possible.
Ulli Seibel, CEO of AlzChem AG, comments: "We want to thank the investors who have subscribed as well as those who have analyzed the company. Special thanks also go to our employees, consultants and banking teams who worked with great commitment on the IPO. Even without an IPO in the near future, we will continue on our growth path and invest in the further development of our Specialty Chemicals business segment. We will now make use of alternative financing options for this purpose."
Chemicals business segment. We will now make use of alternative financing options for this purpose."
AlzChem will re-evaluate the possibility of an IPO at some stage in the future. The company has a high internal financing capability and is well-positioned with its high-margin Specialty Chemical products to benefit from external growth drivers such as global population growth, the healthy aging trend and the growing importance of energy efficiency.

I wonder if the guys thought that Marissa had the best chance of returning to their tribe and that's why they voted for her.
Colton almost had me feeling sorry for him, talking about growing up. Then I remembered...didn't he do that last time?
I loved how when they were reading tree mail and got to "swim" the camera panned to Gervase. :lol
Not sad to see Marissa go. She seemed pretty bratty tonight. When they got back to camp she should have kept her mouth shut about her opinion of her uncle's celebration. It just made the target bigger. She could have tried to sway the votes by talking about who on their team screwed up.
Dear Colton,
Not buying it.
P.S. The Scorpion and the Frog
And, one more thing, the loved ones need to get over the whole "they're sending a loved one home". It's a game. That is how the game works. Deal with it. It's not like they are sending they're loved ones into a volcano. It will be interesting to see how they act if they ever win immunity.

So I had a terrible night last night. I wont even say why. Just that if I werent hormonal, it probably wouldnt have been such a big deal Anyways...
I got to the docs this morning and honestly, I was kinda concerned about my cervix. I think I've been having BH contrax, but I was never really sure b/c of where I *think* the baby is - could just be him moving around. Well, as luck would have it, my cervix is looking spectacular, measuring about a 5 which is friggin awesome! She even saw the baby's *head* via the TVU. Or so we thought
So then she decides to take a quick peek at the baby 'just in case' the doctor wants to see. Lo and behold, his butt is what is covering my cervix, and those 'kicks' I've been feeling to the ribs are actually him headbutting me! Yep, and we even caught him in the act! What a booger
He's measuring about 4lbs and is in the 75th%, whatever the heck that means. HE HAS HAIR!!!!! Still a boy too... she was gonna try and get a 4D image of his face, but he was not having it - he's facing inward and she could not get a good shot. No matter - we'll see the real thing in 8 short weeks
So I don't have to go back to the high-risk place for another 6 weeks, and then they will remove my cerclage I am NOT looking forward to that, as I have heard it can be pretty dang uncomfortable. But they said if I couldnt handle it they could do it when I have my c-section, so I will be numb anyways. We'll see I guess
So I feel pretty relieved. I've been so pissy lately - evereything was getting under my skin and I couldnt help it. I feel crazy sometimes. And depressed..... but now I feel like I'm on cloud nine. I hope I can ride it out (the good feeling, that is) for a little while at least. My mom thinks its the extra progesterone I'm taking. She's probably right!
Anyhoo, thats all for me. I'm having computer trouble at work, so only 1 out of every 10 posts actually makes it to the board for some strange reason. So everyone have a blessed day!
Love and Hugs

In any case, there is not much of a difference. You can easily read / edit the information in a file or a database. I recently used a file to store my configuration information which contained several hashes of hashes and I consciously did this so that I can practice manipulating HoH.
But again, there is really no difference. I could have very well stored the configuration information in a database and simply wrote some SQL to retrieve the configuration information.

CASH-strapped families will benefit from a Woodley council tax cut for a second consecutive year.
The Conservative-led Town Council approved a three per cent drop in the tax precept on Tuesday night as part of the 2015/16 budget, despite calls from opposition councillors to lower it further.
The cut will give residents an extra £3 in their pockets, meaning the average Band D property will pay £105.65 instead of £108.92. This represents an eight per cent drop and a £9 saving in total over the last two years.
However Liberal Democrats Cllr Coling Lawley and Cllr Phil Challis, who abstained from voting for the budget, proposed a five per cent cut this year as the council is no longer stumping up cash to maintain Bulmershe Leisure Centre.
The pair suggested that this would be paid for by spending £30,000 that had been previously earmarked for a no longer needed electronic booking system for the Bulmershe and Woodford Park leisure centres.
Cllr Lawley said: "We are saving in excess of £100,000 a year, so the council is awash with funds.
"We are confident that this five per cent reduction still provides for a prudent budget while at the same time increasing our general reserves by £9,149.
"I am aware that you can only spend your money once and you can either spend it on booking software or lowering the precept."
Cllr Challis argued the £30,000 had been "hidden" in the budget figures and should at least be put back into the council's general reserves, which are estimated to stand at £346,054 at the end of March.
In response, council leader Cllr Keith Baker said that reserves needed to be saved for a rainy day and large projects, and spending them now to cut the precept further was not a "practical" financial plan that could be repeated.
He said: "You can only spend a reserve amount once. Once it's gone, you can't get it back. How can you make this further cut again next year?
"Next year will see some major projects coming forward, starting with the 3G football pitch, followed up with the redevelopment of the north end of the town centre and the arrival of the long-awaited toilets.
"There are also plans being worked on at the moment to make some major investments in both Woodford Park Leisure Centre and the park itself. All these will require major capital funds to complete, which will have to come from reserves."

News :
Blake Austin pushed his NSW Origin claims with a stellar three-try performance to lead the Raiders to a 44-22 win over the Newcastle Knights at Hunter Stadium on Saturday.
The livewire five-eighth scored a try and set-up another as Canberra led 24-10 at halftime.
Austin had a slight limp at the break, but showed no signs of injury as he delivered the decisive blows for the Raiders with tries in the 55th and 60th minutes in the round 13 NRL game.
Out to end their losing streak at three games, the Raiders led 18-0 in the 21st minute courtesy of a double from winger Edrick Lee and a try to fullback Jack Wighton.
Lee was gifted a try off an Austin break and kick through in the fourth minute before climbing high to mark a Williams bomb and score.
The conversion of the opening try took Jarrod Croker to 1000 NRL points and he added two more from a penalty in the 14th minute.
The Raiders looked set for a rout when Wighton crossed untouched from a Williams pass in the 20th minute, but the Knights rallied.
Winger Akuila Uate burrowed through a wall of defenders to score in the 26th minute and Joey Leilua grabbed a Kurt Gidley grubber in the 30th to make it 18-10.
Much of the Knights' good work was undone when Josh Papalii waltzed through a gaping hole to score off a Williams pass in the 39th minute.
Newcastle started the better in the second half and scored via Sione Mata'utia in the 46th minute after Uate knocked back a Gidley chip.
Austin then scored from a Sisa Waqa knock-back off a Williams kick before throwing a dummy and stepping through for his hat-trick.
Dane Gagai edged over for the Knights in the 64th minute to make it 36-22, but a Croker penalty and converted try sealed the deal.
The win was Canberra's sixth this season and the loss was Knights' eighth in their past nine games.

Sylvester Stallone Denies Jack Whitehall Consoled Him After Oscar Loss
Sylvester Stallone is denying a claim by Jack Whitehall that the British comedian comforted him after not winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor last month. Stallone called out Whitehall for fabricating the "insulting lies."
Whitehall told The Mirror on Monday that he spoke with Stallone at the Governors Ball, right after his loss at the Academy Awards ceremony. "I had to console him about missing out on his Oscar, telling him there was always next year. Or maybe if he did Creed 2 he might get a nod. I think it reassured him," Whitehall joked.
The comedian further claimed Stallone didn't know anything about the man who beat him in the Best Supporting Actor category. "Also, because he knew I was English, I had to tell him who Mark Rylance was. I talked him through all of Mark's performances at the Globe theatre," he continued, adding, "Good old Sly, I loved him in Creed. And I love Mark Rylance, so I had to remain pretty neutral about it."
On Wednesday, Stallone used Twitter and Instagram to slam the report, and questioned why Whitehall would make up these claims. "NEVER met this young man Pity it has to be under these circumstances," Stallone tweeted. On Instagram, he added, "I was very proud of my nomination, worked hard for it, so why would anybody create insulting lies that only distort wonderful memories. Why do it?"
Whitehall, apparently continuing with the joke, spoke to the Daily Mail after Stallone's denial. "It's sad Sly doesn't remember meeting me. Clearly I made very little impression."

Prayer for the Day with Archbishop Vincent Nichols in Rome
The following reflection was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 this morning. In the last few days I have twice been able to kneel alongside the body of Pope John Paul II, lying in state in St Peter's Basilica. Quietly I have prayed, for him, for the Church, for all the people slowly and movingly filing past, paying their last respects. Some have queued for over 12 hours, yet they have spoken of that time as a genuine pilgrimage, regretting not a moment and treasuring the experience. The face of the dead Pope is, in my eyes, filled with peace. His task completed it is as if he has escaped to the mountains, to the forests with their rushing streams and clear air. They were places he loved, moments in which his spirit breathed deeply of the beauty of the work of the Creator. There he could sense in a remarkable way the Providence of God, who is alone the Lord of all. For this most public of figures had a profound inner spiritual life which alone sustained him in the demands of his office. His daily routines included regular moment of prayer, and longer periods, too, in which he would be alone with his Lord. But now that pilgrimage is ended. This morning, in a private ceremony, his body will be placed in a coffin made of Cyprus wood in preparation for the Funeral Mass. His face will be covered with a cloth of white silk and these prayers will be said: "Lord God, may his face, which has left the light of this world, be illuminated for ever by the true light which is You; May his face, which searched out your ways to show them to the Church, now see your fatherly face, O Lord; May his face, which drew our gaze, now contemplate your beauty and commend us to you, our Eternal Pastor." To that we say "Amen, Amen".

Hamilton, Feb 3 (AP) Ahmed Shehzad hit his maiden one-dayinternational century today to guide Pakistan to a 41-run winover New Zealand in the 5th one-day cricket international,clinching the six-match series.
Shehzad made 115 from 104 balls as Pakistan posted 268-9in its 50 overs after being sent in to bat on a slow pitch.
Umar Akmal made 32, the next-best score, and Misbahul-Haq (25) and Shahid Afridi (24) - rivals for Pakistan''sWorld Cup captaincy - offered support as Pakistan reached amoderate but competitive total.
In reply, New Zealand was bowled out for 227 in 46.5overs, with stand-in captain Ross Taylor top scoring with 69and Martin Guptill making 65. The pair put on 69 for NewZealand''s third wicket but their separation prompted thesteady decline of the New Zealand innings.
"We''ve had to wait a long time for Pakistan to win aseries but it''s come at the right time, just before the WorldCup," said Afridi, Pakistan''s current one-day captain.
Shehzad provided the thread that held together the top ofthe Pakistan innings. He batted freely but composedly, takingthe senior role in all of his partnerships and eclipsing hisprevious best one-day score of 43.
Umar Akmal tried to steer the latter part of the innings,making 32, but Pakistan fell well short of the total it mayhave expected when Shehzad was out in the 38th over at 197-4.
"I thought we would make 300, but we weren''t able to keepup the momentum," Afridi said.
New Zealand also restricted Pakistan with its slowerbowlers. Scott Styris took 2-51, Jacob Oram 2-49 and KyleMills, bowling mainly slow medium pace, took 2-42.
New Zealand''s run chase suffered an immediate setbackwhen opener Jesse Ryder was run out on the first ball of theinnings. Guptill steered the ball to Misbah ul-Haq at widemid-on, Ryder was backing up too far and Misbah threw down thestumps at the non-striker''s end.
Guptill worked hard to revive the innings, reaching hishalf century from 59 balls but he gave away his wicket with apoor shot, offering a catch to Umar Akmal off Shoaib Akhtar.
Taylor attempted to guide New Zealand to victory but hewasn''t able to score with fluency and the mounting run-rateplaced pressure on the lower middle order and tail. (MORE) APSNK

Backing up an iPhone in safe mode
Hi all,

In March, internal investigators delivered a draft audit of the District's troubled tax office to Chief Financial Officer Natwar M. Gandhi. City officials said the report was finalized within days and has been available ever since for public review.
Gandhi's office, however, did not disclose the report when The Washington Post, through the Freedom of Information Act, sought in June to review all of the agency's audits from 2002 to 2012.
Gandhi's office has said that draft audits are exempt from public disclosure. The Post was able to obtain a copy of the draft through other means.
On Friday, after The Post submitted questions about the draft audit, officials provided a copy of what they said was the final report, saying in a written statement: "As an internal audit document, the report is not publicly circulated, although it is available for review, upon request. The report that you referenced was finalized as of March 15, 2012."
The draft audit and the final audit are virtually identical.
Other final audits and reports have typically been signed by the head of Gandhi's internal affairs unit, the Office of Integrity and Oversight. The copy provided to The Post was unsigned.
Agency officials did not respond to repeated requests to provide a signed copy of the audit. In a written statement, the agency said the report was not disclosed earlier in response to The Post's public-records request because of "human error."
Two people familiar with the tax office, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they fear termination, said tax office supervisors met with the staff on Friday to review the contents of the audit and discuss recommended changes.

Tips To Assist You in Comparing the Prices of Moving Companies
Choosing a moving company is not an easy process as you may think even if it's your thirtieth or first time. It's a daunting process because not all moving companies in the world offer the same services or are created equal, and therefore you need to be careful when choosing a moving company.
It's stressful to many when it comes to determining or making a comparison based on the moving company prices. Your budget will determine the moving company that you and your family will travel in, but this moving company should be the right fit for you. The tips below will assist you in comparing the prices of moving companies:
The method the company uses to rate a moveWhen looking at the prices that different companies offer it is important for you to look at the method they use to evaluate their moves and whether the services that they provide are sufficient and worth that price. The best moving companies are those that have a proper method of setting their prices, for example, a company can offer several quotes that are different and all these quotes should be based on computations that are different so that the customers can easily understand them.
Review all the multiple bids around
Reviewing of many bids is very important to you because it will enable you to choose a moving company with an affordable budget and this will be determined by the amount of money that you have for the move. Do not only rely on the price tags because there are some companies that may ask a higher price than the one quoted.
Evaluate the moving practices of various companies
The quality of the moving practices offered should be the one to determine or reflect the price that should be charged. Good companies are those that have a good reputation, and this reputation is earned from the excellent services that they offer to their customers. Sometimes you can use the customer reviews to know which company offers affordable price and offers excellent services.
Cheap is expensive
In most cases, we are tempted to look for the cheapest moving companies, and we do this by simply looking at the price tags, but that is not good at all. In fact, you should try as much as possible to avoid this temptation and ask yourself whether the price the company is asking is reasonable or not.

Keywords: Condo
We've been in Park City since 1988, Lived all over town & found the condo ( little secret spot) in 2000.
Whats so special about it is that its the location, just right outside the door you can walk to Main Street in 5 min's. The best part is that its nice & quiet up there & the hiking & ski trails are also right outside the door to enjoy. We live & work here so were lucky to still be able to enjoy it. We'd be more then happy to give you any tips on fun things to do here.
We love this location of Park City, its a great place if you like the outdoors. Its close to Main Street, so you can go for a walk down to get a bite to eat or take a stroll. Listen to live music, at some of our great clubs. Hiking Trails right outside our door, great for hiking, biking, & exploring.
For Skiing, you head out the door & your on the ski hill in 3 min's, on the way home you get to ski to the driveway!! Awesome!!
Lots of wildlife, deer, moose, fox, & variety of birds up there too, really makes you feel like your in the woods.
Leslie purchased this condo in 2000
Our condo's are right up against Park City Mountain Resort, I can ski to my driveway! Ski down to the Town Lift in 3 minutes. In the summer I hike right out my door or mountain bike up the single tracks to the top of Park City Mountain, & to Old Town, no need for a car. Its also very quiet and peaceful up
there, not a busy street.
Sometimes we can spot a wondering Moose or Deer.
Close to everything, yet away from the hustle and bustle, nice and relaxing if you want. 5 minute walk to Old Town, and Town Bus.. Beautiful & lots of snow up here!! Condo's are loaded with all top of the line amenities to make your stay extra special. We supply more then the average rental, and provide tender loving care.
This condo is perfectly situated near historic Main Street in Park City. Walking distance to restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. The condo has all the amenities we were looking for in a rental.Clean, modern, and spacious for 2 people.
Condo was very comfortable with nice amenities. Owner was very responsive to our questions along the way. Would recommend it to others!
We had a wonderful stay at this in town Park City condo. The owners have done a nice job of outfitting the home with all you could possibly need - and so tastefully furnished and redecorated. It was ideal for us - two couples - looking for a location to enjoy some hikes by day, and some Main St. Park City dining at night (within an easy walk down the hill). The only unfortunate part - to no fault of the owners - was the road construction that took place right outside our door/Windows; 7am-8pm, even Sat. And Sunday.
Had everything good bed
We enjoyed the condo. It was clean and very thoughtfully stocked & decorated. Easy driving access to Olympic Park, a grocery store, and Starbucks. Also a close walk to main street shops and restaurants. Walk back is uphill but not an issue.
My wife and I shared unit #3 (top level) with another couple - some good friends, and we were very cozy and comfortable. One night, we grilled steaks, another, we ate burgers at 501 on Main. The beds were comfortable, we each had a bathroom to ourselves, kitchen had everything we needed. We visited Salt Lake City and the 2002 Olympic Museum, took the tour - very good. Sunday we walked through the Park Silly Market on Main and that was nice. This was just what we needed for a relaxing weekend.
Nice & Peaceful, close to Ski Run, Trails, Town, Bus Stops, Main Street Historic Old Town, This is why we picked this location. Were up in the woods, very quiet. You can walk to town down the ski slope hiking trails, or sled down to town to enjoy Park City's great Main Street, only takes 5 min's. Enjoy Shops, Restaurants, Art Galleries, & Night Life.
Great Location... Really don't need a car, Biking & Hiking right outside the door. Best Location in Historic Old Town... Check out our other condo right across the deck, vrbo765005

Unanswered: Get the system date format?
I'm trying to get hold of the systems date format in my code so that I can change a date I've got. Dates are stored with default format in the database. I'm presenting a date in a messagebox (where it becomes text) and I want to change the format to the system format before I put it in the text. The date must be right with different kind of system settings, swedish, uk...
Can I do that?
I'm using:
to_char(date, 'DD/MM/YYYY')
This works, but of course the format will be uk all the time.
I dont want to write the format, because then i does not mater what my system settings are.
Hope i made my self understandable..

text: I'm currently in the need of a GBA flashcart that I can use with my GameBoy Advance SP and my GameCube. I've done about 10 minutes of research and I've come to the conclusion that there were some flashcarts that had imperfect GameCube compatibility. This means some flashcarts work with certain games but not others. The game I'm particularly interested is Pokemon Coloseum with the transferral of Celebi and Jirachi using the bonus discs. I understand that GBA flashcarts are becoming rare because less people are playing GBA games so please help me by posting any experience you have and if you can recommend GBA flashcarts that work with this title. Currently, I'm confident that the M3 Lite works well with the Pokemon games but it's a bit costly. I've always had my eye on the EZ Flash IV but I'm not confident it's compatible with Pokemon Coloseum. It seems the transfer of Pokemon always fails and even corrupts the save file.

Trump stocks the swamp
President Donald Trump promised to "drain the swamp." Instead, he apparently is stocking the swamp with alligators and crocodiles as though the American government were some amusement park adventure ride.
Well, I am not amused. We are being taken for a ride, and I don't like it. The threats to our personal and national well-being are very real.
As the Joker said to the Thief, "There must be some way out of here."

Don't squander credibility on Trump's team
To all who are disturbed by Trumpism, Sen. Susan Collins made the humiliating mistake of supporting Jeff Sessions for attorney general.
We have since learned that he lied under oath about his contacts with Russian officials. He has recused himself from any Justice Department investigations involving Russia, but he should resign immediately.
The Maine senators should have learned that President Donald Trump's men are not worth squandering their credibility on any longer. Just ask Collins.

Practical tips for the environment
Spring is a great time to re-evaluate our commitment to a cleaner environment. As an outdoorsman, hunter and conservationist, I want my children to grow up enjoying the beauty and wonder of the natural Earth.
Here are several practical ways to help protect our environment this spring.
1. Clean up your neighborhood. Each spring the melting snow reveals waste tossed from vehicles. Take an afternoon or two to walk your neighborhood road frontage and clean up the trash. Recycle what you can. This also doubles as exercise.
2. Use fewer gas-powered engines while recreating. Paddle in a canoe or kayak instead of running an outboard motor. Backpack and hike the trails instead of riding an ATV. Less exhaust means cleaner air, and, once again, your body will thank you for the exercise.
3. Always practice "leave no trace." When enjoying nature, leave it cleaner than you found it.
We can't solve our environmental challenges alone, but together we can all make a difference.

Don't repeal Obamacare
As a member of Maine Providers Standing up for Health Care, I urge the residents of Maine to contact their senators and representatives to tell them not to repeal the Affordable Care Act. It has flaws, is too complicated and definitely needs to be worked on. But its repeal would be devastating to many people, particularly in Maine. Millions of people around the country would lose their insurance, and the most vulnerable of us would be greatly underserved — the sick, the elderly and those with disabilities.
To ramrod a poorly designed medical plan through Congress, which Republicans are trying to do, would be a disaster. An issue of this magnitude needs time, thought, professional expertise and a thorough knowledge of our very complex health care system. If an impartial hearing was held, perhaps a plan could be reached that would be acceptable to both parties, which would be important for its ultimate success.

Real ID trouble
Last week, I made a trip to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for work. Much to my dismay I was unable to gain employment or receive an ID badge to enter the shipyard because the Maine driver's license I had for personal identification was not accepted.
I traveled four hours for work to be denied because of inadequate identification. I was informed that a Maine driver's license was not accepted by the U.S. government for identification to enter the shipyard because Maine isn't in compliance with the Real ID Act.
I have, for nearly 40 years, used my license for work ID without a problem. Needless to say, the gentleman at the badge office was sympathetic, but I had no recourse except to drive back home with no work and at a cost to me.

Border wall not worth tax dollars
After reading the March 11 BDN article about President Donald Trump's proposal to help fund his wall along the U.S.-Mexico border by cutting funds to the U.S. Coast Guard, which patrols Maine's waters, I called Rep. Bruce Poliquin's office to find out if he agreed with that plan. I got a recording telling me to leave my name and number. So far, nobody has called back.
I'd really like to know if Poliquin thinks we should spend billions of tax dollars on a wall that Trump says will be over 80 feet tall, when our roads and bridges are crumbling, lots of American kids go to school hungry and large numbers of Americans can't afford health care without government subsidies.
Does Trump really believe Mexico will pay for this wall? If so, maybe the Tooth Fairy will chip in, too.
Janet Redfield
Daylight saving time alternative
We've just done it again — moved our clocks ahead one hour in a vain effort to acquire more daylight. If anyone looks out his window, he will see that the gain of sunlight in the afternoon is exactly balanced by the loss of sunlight in the morning. So nothing is gained.
Health studies have shown that the loss of an hour of sleep in March causes a significant increase in heart attacks and strokes in the days immediately following the change. This should be enough reason to avoid messing with our clocks, but there is more.
Changing clocks takes time and effort, which aren't productive uses of time and effort. Some clocks require the climbing of ladders with their inherent risks. Human and animal eating schedules are thrown off by the change, as are the milking schedules of cattle. Some places resist making the change, which causes further confusion.
An obvious answer, which is probably too logical to be implemented, is to split the difference between standard time and daylight saving time: Instead of moving the time ahead from 12 to 1 a.m., set the clocks to 12:30 a.m. and stick with it. No more increased health risk, no more oversleeping or waking early, no more wasting time fiddling with inconveniently located timepieces, no more disruption.
Who will be brave enough to try it? Given the courage of our current politicians, probably no one.

BESST Field Service provides comprehensive diagnostic technologies such as flow and chemistry profiles, along with video surveys to collect data that can be used to effectively address water quality and well performance issues.
BESST Field Services provide a complete overview of Dynamic and Ambient Flow Profiling of groundwater wells, as well as sampling to provide water chemistry data. The use of the data will be provided in technical reports to assist in groundwater management and well modifications. BESST's patented miniaturized downhole technology allows data collection even while the pump is still in the well and the well is actively producing. The use of BESST's technical reports assist with well modification or groundwater management plans is a cost effective alternative to more expensive and sluggish remediation strategies.
Under exclusive license to BESST from the U.S. Geological Survey the Dynamic and Ambient Flow Profiling utilizes a Dye Tracer System which allows the injection of inert rhodamine dye solution at varying depths within the well. The return rate of the dye provides unparalleled data that BESST analyses to determine flow dynamics throughout the well.
|Dynamic Flow Profiling provides diagnostic data of the flow dynamics while the water supply well is in production. The data has revealed opportunities for well modification such as, installation of sleeves, packers, engineered suctions and pump replacement.
|Ambient Flow Profiling provides diagnostic data of the flow dynamics while the water supply well is not in production. The data has exposed circumstances to reactivate offline wells that represent an untapped asset for a water provider, provide hydraulic conductivity data under non pumping conditions and assist in sampling locations.
|HydroBooster Sampling Technology is used in conjunction with data collected utilizing the Dye Tracer system for low-flow purging and sampling at depth specific locations within the well. That data from this technique has revealed opportunities for well modification to facilitate treatment avoidance in a situation where an undesirable constituent is occurring.
|Dynamic Video Survey reveals the condition of the well utilizing a miniaturized camera with a diameter of only ¾". The video survey can be conducted without the removal of the pump and while the well is in production. Frequently the video survey is used to investigate sand invasion, air entrainment, blocked or damaged screen and to identify zones of growths or scaling.
BESST, Inc. Equipment
BESST is well equipped to handle large scale profiling and geological projects. The company is outfitted with two Dynamic Mass Profiling Rigs, and one Ambient Mass Profiling Rig. Since early 2015, BESST has made significant improvements to the rigs in regards to on-board electrical and pneumatic controls. Each rig is equipped with back-up spare parts, systems, and fluorometers. When requested by the client, BESST can provide miniaturized video camera equipment. BESST owns and operates two video systems. Each camera measures ¾" OD, with both color and black and white cameras and both systems outfitted with side scan capability. BESST also provides its own water level meters. BESST's tools are a maximum ¾" outside diameter (OD). Before a project starts an access survey is performed to establish adequate access exists. Common access points include vent and sounding tubes, bolt holes, camera tubes, holes through pump plates, etc.
