It's a beautiful day in Horshoe Harbour. the sun is shining, the air is warm and the skies are a beautiful blue. The foals of the bay are out playing once again, loving their new forms, and why shouldn't they? Being a foal is fun, and so the genrla air around town is one of joy.
In a stone house near the edge of town, a certain filly is having fun indeed. She's just had a new friend over for the night, and she has all sorts of fun plans for her awesome new assistant. Rising Chaos is running about her house, giggling like mad as plans form in her little filly mind. Oh the fun that is in store.
The -first- thing Windrose did upon rolling off the couch was to make sure she was still her proper age. Yep, appears so. So just being in town isn't going to deage her. That's a relief. This is followed by a stretch, and then a wince as her wings twitch a bit, and huffs. "Pegasi weren't really made for couches… or couches for pegasi."
And then the hyper running about foal pulls her fully back to reality. "… this is still going to take getting use to." Was she really the only thing close to an adult right now? That's almost as frightening as being a foal again.
Sky Sparkler is one of those weirdos that gets up early. So much so that she missed the curse that has gripped most of the town. (She was off dealing with Dread Pirate Salty at the time) But when she returns to her new home, she finds things not as she expected. The foals everywhere, that look familiar? Eh, that's one thing, but then there's this new pegasus in the place… She sets down the bag (containing fresh seawater from the harbor) and looks around the place. "Ummm. What the buck is going on?" she asks aloud.
Rising-Chaos quiets down with the arrival of Sky Sparkler, her assistant's return giving her a focus for her energy. She bounces over to her lovely assistant, "welcome home! Everyone was turned into a foal overnight!" Apparently that's enough explanation. She levitates the water out of Sky's bag and bounces away. "Oh, by the way, that's Windrose, she's my new friend, she just got here yesterday." She waves over at the sleepy Windrose. "Windorse, this is my roomate and assistant Sky Sparkler!"
Windrose mutters something about forget being a gracious host, next time she's claiming the bed, under her breath as she rubs her eyes with a foreleg. Then sort of snaps out of it when she realizes somepony else is here… wait, is that another -adult- pony?! Almost abruptly she's wide away and bounds over. "OH THANK CELESTIA! I was worried I was going to be the only grown-up in a town full of br—deaged kids!"
At the moment Sky is feeling a little overwhelmed at the enthuasim of the greetings. "Everyone was.. Right. Not asking yet. Windrose, hello, I'm Sky Sparkler. As far as kids goes… any clue about why this is happening?"
Rising-Chaos turns her head over her shoulder as she puts the water in a special container made for it. "Not a clue why it's happening, but it's kinda fun." She turns to look at Sky. "How did you remain unaffected. Tell me your secrets!" Her voice becoming very excited
"No, I don't, I just got here yesterday with -no clue- this was going on," Windrose replies. Then coughs softly, and brushes a hoof quickly through hehair to get rid of any bedmane effect. "But regardless, a pleasure to meet you despite… the current situation."
"Lovely," Sky replies to Windrose, before sitting on the couch. "Everything seemed normal when I left, which was early yesterday morning…" she muses. "Maybe it happened after I went?"
A loud crash and shattering glass heralds the arrival of hard-hat wearing Ruby! The small foal rocketing through the window and utterly oblitering Rising Chaos front window, and taking out a leg of Rising's kitchen table - which miraculously stays upright! The mare tumble backwards relatively unharmed thanks to her hard helmet and overalls. "Son of a…" she cries loudly - holding both hooves against her yellow construction helment as she rolls back to rest on her flank - hissing addorably in discomfort before groggily wandering back to the window where she prompts up on her rear hooves and yells "I TOLD you it was too heavy for you to pull, you dolt colt. You're not even half a stallion at the moment!" that would be more insulting were Kludge a stallion at the moment. The kitchen table begins to teeter in the background!
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" On pegasus reflex Windrose bolts off the ground at the window shattering. "Pirates are raiding the harbor while it's unguarded! Every pony for themsel—OOMPH!" And promptly smacks into the ceiling because she forgot she was indoors at the moment. Some pegasi don't like being couped up for very long, so it's a fairly common mistake. It ends with her sprawling back on the floor, eyes swirling. "… This is why we build our houses out of clouds…"
As it happens, Sky Sparkler has good reason to fear a pirate attack, which is why she uses her electrical telekenesis to try and grab the projectile before it can do more damage. She might throw it back out, but then she hears Ruby talking.
Rising Chaos's eye twitches with the sound of breaking glass coming form the kitchen. She rushes in, taking in Ruby, the teetering table, the broken window; with a certain amount of horror. "Hi Ruby! What did you do?" She yells, distress clear in her voice. she just watches the table, the table filled with priceless lab equipment as it stays upright, just. She sits down. "What's even happening right now?"
"Well, how was I supposed to know you had put all of the bricks on it while my back was turned?" hollers Kludge in response, looking about as cross as Ruby. "A small pile of lumber, no problem; that same stack of lumber PLUS a stack of bricks larger than me, of /course/ I'm not going to be able to handle it at this size!"
The teetering ceases for the moment much to Rising's relief - at least until Windrose whacks the ceiling - the vibration rattling the wall and dislodging a picture frame which smacks into a coat rack that topples over, hits the coffee table - and sends another object flying into the kitchen - straight for the table! Ruby looks over her shoulder at Rising and pipes addorably - all decked out in construction gear - she wouldn't take risks considering the head trauma she's experienced in the past week. "It's not my fault! Kludge is puny!" she points a hoof towards the voice outside - any damage caused by Windrose's freak out won't be her fault, right!
Windrose just holds a foreleg over her face. "Please tell me this is -not- the usual way things go around here."
Sky Sparkler does the good assistant thing and tries to grab the second flying missle with her magic, holding it in midair. "Sorry Windrose," she replies to the pegasus. "I've been here a few weeks… and yeah. This is how things seems to happen." She closes her eyes. "Two fires, this, and Dread Pirate Saltlick last night." No, she doesn't know what saying that name will mean yet.
A singular little dust bunny flitters through the air coming to perch perfectly on Rising's nose!
Rising-Chaos feels her little filly nose twitch, tickle. Oh no, she can't stop it! She lets loose with a sneeze powerful enough to send her reeling back, bumping into the counter. A single plate falls from the counter and rolls along the floor, bumping into the table. For a moment, one perfect moment, the table remains upright. "come on." Hisses Chaos, hoping against hope the table will stay upright. As soon as the words leave her mouth, the table crashes downwards in an explosion of noise and shattered glass. Her face forms into an expression of total sadness, and Chaos falls to her rump. A baleful glare is cast onto Ruby. "Where's Kludge?" she asks, her voice deceptively sweet. "He's gonna be really sorry this happened."
Windrose yelps again and darts behind Sky as things start falling and breaking. The confirmation that this sort of activity is -normal- is not helping any. When the cacophony dies down she peeks over the other pony's shoulder. "Seriously starting to wonder if coming down here looking for a job or two was a good idea…."
Ruby-Blossom winces at the sound shattering glass come from several feet behind her - that is /not her/ fault; she's here and well that's there - so yeah! A small shake of her head before she waves a friendly hello to Sky-Sparkler "Hi Sky." she ponders "Hi umn…fountain lady?"
Speak of the devil - or at least of the irate pony! *stomp stomp stomp* comes Kludge, glaring at Ruby. He looks like something the cat dragged in - while Ruby wound up taking the aerial route, Kludge was dragged much closer to ground level, and has the scrapes and bruises to show for it.He stomps on over to Ruby, glaring daggers. "Next time you change the load on the pulleys, TELL ME! And just saying 'You can't haul that!' doesn't count, unless you /also/ say 'I added a few dozen bricks to the load' after it!" Even without his cutie mark, Kludge still knows the basics of being a craftspony, and one of the biggest no-nos is to change things without informing the others involved.
Sky sighs as her effort to save the lab is undone. "I'm Sky Sparkler," she replies to Ruby, but not doing much to save the filly from her deserved karmic comeuppance. "And Wind, while it's often like this, there's a lot of work to be found here… That's why I wound up here."
Windrose exhales more loudly than she probably needed to. Then the other pony comes in, and the two start arguing it would seem. She shakes her head a bit, and trots over to give Chaos a nudge with her snout. "Com'n, com'n. Sitting there and pouting won't accomplish anything."
Kludge's yelling is met with the biggest rubiest foal eyes possible - brimming with tears as the smaller foal looks up at Kludge with her hat slightly askew as it's a tad too big for her little foal head. Bottom lip quivering addorably as she's yelled at - by Kludge of all ponies! "S..stupid!" suddenly bolting past and towards the door while streaming tears - honestly she never expected Kludge to yell at her, like ever for anything! Foals are so emotional, aren't they?
Rising-Chaos sniffs, her laboratory is destroyed; what is she gonna do? She lets out a sigh as Windrose tries to calm her down, and gets up. She's shocked to see Ruby rocket past her in the direction fo the door. Instantly, she follows her friend, and tackles her before she can escape. "Hey now Ruby, it's okay. It was just stuff right, are you okay?" She gives Ruby a little nuzzle, see it's not so bad.
Sigh. Kludge closes his eyes, quietly slumping to the floor. It's not that he liked yelling at Ruby, but dealing with unexpected happenings with construction can be a challenge even when things are normal, and this is about as far from normal as he can think of. "Can't we wait for things to go back to normal?" he asks in a tone that suggests that it's not the first time today he's said it.
(It's the seventh time, but who's counting?)
Sky lets out a sigh of her own. "I hope things will calm down. I really do," she muses. "I mean, it can't be this bad all the time, right?"
Being tackled by Rising-Chaos prevents Ruby from making a timely escape, and gives Kludge time to apologize! The small turquoise mare sniffling cutely as she hooves at the ground for a few moments in a semi-desperate attempt to escape before flopping limply against the floor - being cuddled by Rising-Chaos which isn't all that bad. *Snuffle* "K…Kludge yelled at me!" sounding sincerely hurt!
"About all I know," Windrose replies as she looks to Sky, "is that I'm -really- on the fence about having foals of my own some day right now."
Sky nods in agreement to Windrose. "If all foals act like this… yeah." She shakes her head. "No where near that point in my life, but… yeah."
Ruby-Blossom lifts one hoof while still face-down against the floor - semi-muffledly and whinely responding to Windrose and Sky's observation "I'll take theeeem~" flopping flat against with an addorable little whine.
Kludge walks over to Ruby and gives her a hug - gently, trying to avoid his scrapes and bruises. "I just yelled because we could've been hurt or worse, y'know? This is why we do construction procedures my way, because I know how to do things in less risky ways."
Ruby-Blossom whiiines "But we wouldn't have to do this if that dolt didn't squash those phoenix in front of my shop." deflating under the hug of Chaos and Kludge would pouting audibly "Destroyed it all!" A renewed bout of tears to be had.
Windrose says "Aaaand now I have no idea what anypony is even talking about." Windrose turns as if to leave. "I'm going to find some breakfast. Does this town have any decent cafes or…" stops and trails off, then slaps hoof to her face again as she remembers what's going on. "Right, wouldn't be any adult ponies to be running it right now anyways"
"There are some nice cafes, I think I'll join you," Sky Sparkler says to Windrose, edging towards the door. All else fails, there's the weather shed up in the clouds, which should have at least a hot plate.
Rising-Chaos gives Ruby one last little squeeze for comfort. "I'm sure it can be fixed Ruby, we can always fix anything, just like my table." She grins at the cute little filly, then gets to her hooves. "Hey guys, I can make you breakfast if you want! The kitchen isn't entirely destroyed!" She waves at the two adults, there is no way they're confused or anything, not at all. It seems Chaos ha gotten over her table smashing, or at least bottled the anger up.
At the mention of breakfast, Kludge's stomach grumbles to remind him that he had been working without plenty of food. "Breakfast sounds good," he admits with a sheepish grin.
Oh there is no way this cannont turn out bad. Except all sorts of ways. Windrose chuffs softly. "I guess it would be foals cooking no matter what. Don't look at me, I'm a mapmaker, not a chef."
"We can fake something," Sky says to Windrose, as she sneaks to the door. There is such as thing as too much chaos in the morning.
Without really waiting for any replies, Rising Chaos sets to work. Now, as you may expect, a little filly can't exactly see up on the counter. The first thing she does is go for the flour; she's going to amke pancakes! Unfortunately, Chaos is a very little filly, and the big bag of flour is too much. Down it falls, flour goes everywhere! After the dust clears, the kitchen got a new colouring, white, all white. In the middle of the floor stands the bag of flour, Chaos underneath. A shy, forced giggle comes from beneath the bag. "I guess we're not having pancakes then, you guys want to eat out?

BERLIN — At a glance the sofa looks as though it's red, but once you've looked at it for a little longer, you will see that each part is in a subtly different shade.
That was the plan. The designer, Hella Jongerius, covered it in different types of fabric, each in a different red and with a different texture. The textures enhance the contrasts between the reds, as do the different combinations of colors surrounding each piece of fabric and fluctuations in the light throughout the day. What's the result? An unusually intriguing sofa.
"Color can bring richness, beauty and ambiguity to design, if it is used well," she explained. "But most designers use the same colors again and again, mostly ones that are too bright, too kitschy, too gray, or too cold."
The problem, or so Ms. Jongerius believes, is that most industrial designers don't know how to use color. She has a point. One very successful designer, who is famous for his vivid palette, once told me that he was so unsure of his color sense that he stuck to the same five Pantone shades. "Color is the least comprehensible aspect of design," said Rolf Fehlbaum, chairman of Vitra, the Swiss furniture group that made the reddish sofa. "We find it easier to explain function or form, than the reasons for color choices. There is a lot of hesitation to go beyond the blacks, whites, grays and beiges for fear of making mistakes."
Ms. Jongerius hopes to change this, and has persuaded a clutch of powerful companies to help her do so. As well as reviewing all of the colors used by Vitra and Camper, the Spanish shoemaker, she is experimenting with the development of new shades in her work for Maharam, the American textile company, and Royal Tichelaar Makkum, the Dutch ceramics manufacturer.Continue reading the main story
She isn't the first designer to have launched a color crusade. Verner Panton, the Danish designer famed for his trippily colorful 1960s and '70s furniture and interiors, published a book on the subject, "Notes on Color." "There is an incredible number of people who fight against the use of colors," he wrote. "But there are also many people who fight against common sense."
But Panton was an exception. Many 20th-century Modernists were so indifferent to color that they limited themselves to black, white and the natural grays of concrete and browns of wood. "Other colors were 'decoration' in their eyes, and that was a dirty word," said Ms. Jongerius. There are commercial constraints, too. As Mr. Fehlbaum points out, manufacturers are often loath to introduce extra colors for fear of increasing their stocks.
Yet color has always been important to Ms. Jongerius. The steel shelves in her Berlin studio are filled with the ceramics, textiles and glassware she has designed in vivid, jewel-like hues of red, pink, green, blue and brown. Even her clothes are a giveaway. One of her sleeves is in a slightly darker shade of green than the other. She orchestrated the effect by customizing two T-shirts.
For her, an imaginative approach to color is one of the tools with which designers can make industrial objects more nuanced and meaningful. "Hella does not design by thinking in terms of function, form, material ... and color," said Jan Tichelaar, managing director of Makkum. "She treats it in an integrated way." Now 46, she made her name in the 1990s as one of the young Dutch designers championed by the Droog Design group. She has since become the most influential woman in the "boy's club" of industrial design, and last year moved her studio from Rotterdam to Berlin.
Her greatest achievement is to have introduced ambiguity and sensuality to the clinical culture of industrial design. (Although she groans scornfully, if not entirely convincingly, at the suggestion that she has "feminized" it.) One of her strategies is to persuade us that mass-manufactured objects can be as quirky and precious as handcrafted ones. Each of her B-Set bowls for Makkum contains (intentionally) identical flaws that remind us of fragile antiques. The mismatched reds, dangling threads and odd buttons on her sofa make us think of cosy old sofas rather than the rigorous engineering of Vitra's factories.
Ms. Jongerius suspects that other designers fail to make the most of color because they weren't taught how to do so. Another problem, she says, is the influence of color forecasters, who tend to predict future trends (as their clients ask them to) rather than making considered decisions about individual colors, and how they will work together across a company's products.
Her work at Vitra involves proposing subtle individual shades that can be combined in balanced palettes for new pieces by designers such as Jasper Morrison and the Bouroullec brothers. She also encourages them to create interesting effects, for example, making a green or brown seem darker by contrasting it with another color, rather than using black. "That's the way artists work with color," she explained. "It's more layered and more interesting."
Having reviewed Vitra's archive pieces, she has discovered that many of the original colors have been distorted over the years, often by technological advances and stricter safety regulations. The charming irregularities in the fiberglass from which Charles and Ray Eames's 1950s chairs were originally made have been replaced by the uniform colors of contemporary plastics. The same has happened to the Eameses' upholstery fabrics, making them look colder and more clinical.
Ms. Jongerius has chosen new colors for Eames and Panton furniture, hoping that the new shades will be closer to the designers' original vision. She is also preparing a color laboratory to advise consumers on how to use color in their homes at the VitraHaus, the model modern house designed by the Swiss architects, Herzog & de Meuron, which is to open this spring at Vitra's headquarters near Basel. Spoiler alert: She gives a thumbs-up to reds, greens and grays, but a thumbs-down to blues and yellows.Continue reading the main story

SHENANDOAH – The Fremont County Sheriff's Office says an out-of-control truck speared a house with a tree.
Deputies say 31-year-old Timothy Becker lost control of his pickup truck Tuesday on a highway north of Shenandoah.
The truck went into a roadside ditch and emerged to hit the tree, which attached to the truck. The Ford F150 continued until it hit a house, impaling the trunk of the tree inside the residence.
Becker told investigators he was ill at the time of the accident. He was taken to the hospital.

ROCC Blog << Blog Home
Good News from the Cup Final Project 2011
- 2207 young people attended Cup Final Sessions between 1st October 2010 -1st October 2011. This equated to a total contact time of 20,583 hours for young people who attended the Cup Final Project.
- 505 Sessions were delivered in this timeframe. With 102 Holiday Courses and 403 evening sessions being delivered.
- In the last year, more than 15 young people engaged on the Cup Final project have been referred to the Albion's centre of excellence, performance centres, girls teams, Seagull Specials, and countless more have been encouraged to join local grass roots teams with our support.
- The project has lead to a decrease in anti-social behaviour by engaging with young people who are "well known to the police through their involvement with crime". (Sussex Police)
- Daniel Cobden, PCSO for the Worthing Neighbourhood Policing Team: "There is one young adult male that was coming to our attention due to his behaviour. Through the football scheme we got to interact with him, to the point that when I saw him he would always ask if I was going to football that week. Without this contact and the opportunity for both the Police and the football team to work with him, he would almost certainly by now be a prolific offender."
- Of those young people removed from sessions for bad behaviour, the majority have been assimilated back into the scheme following their exclusion.
- Young people have travelled to several tournaments around Sussex and Surrey, made visits to Wembley Stadium, played matches alongside police officers, won tickets for home matches, and worn full Albion kit at events.
- Sessions were promoted through local schools, youth clubs and Pupil Referral Units as well as through the Youth Offending Team, local police force, and probationary services to engage the harder to reach community.
- A Youth Service spokesperson said: "The ever increasing numbers and loyalty from the young people attending each session and the huge commitment that the staff have towards both the young people and the community is overwhelming. These factors prove that the work that Brighton and Hove Albion is doing is an important asset to the local community. We look forward to working with them in the future."
- In the last year, the Cup Final project has engaged regularly with young people coping with a broad range of medical and emotional challenges: ADHD, autism, ME, diabetes, speech impediments, deafness, mutism, bullying and learning difficulties to name but a few.
- More than 30 young people attended our annual Cup Final Residential at Ardingly College, home to some of the club's first team training pitches. The residential provided coaching from some of the Albion's leading technical coaches and emphasised the values of teamwork, inclusion, achievement, respect and self-belief.
- Many of the older participants are now moving into Albion Goals NEET project, while others have progressed into FA Level 1 and FA Level 2 coaching qualifications, or Brighton & Hove Albion's Personal Best course – a nationally recognised qualification which encourages participants to support community projects through volunteering and employment.
- AITC and Cup Final Project will be linking up with the Justin Campaign to deliver Football provision in the Peacehaven Area.
- Annual Preston Park Tournament, supported by ROCC Staff succeeded in attracting over 250 young people from all over Sussex and Surrey to play Football.
- Nicole Webley (Guiness Trust) won Most Inspiring Female aged 14-16 at the 2011 National Kickz Awards at Villa Park. She also attended a reception in the House of Commons to help publicise the important role community football sessions has the deprived areas of the country.
- Conrad Honore through his Cup Final Football sessions was selected to attend the Preformance Centre (Specialising in coaching advanced players) He went on a fully subsidized tour in Denmark (The Denmark Cup) and managed through his good performance to earn a trial and a contract with BHAFC Centre of Excellence.

The Government has released details of the Federal Budget for 2018 and tax relief was the key takeaway. In addition, there were a range of amendments to super which are designed to protect low balance super accounts and encourage retirement savings.
Making default insurance opt-in
Default insurance will move to an opt-in basis for members:
- with a balance less than $6,000; or
- who are under 25; or
- whose accounts have not received a contribution in 13 months and are inactive.
These members will have a period of 14 months (starting from 1 July 2019) to decide whether they will opt-in to their existing default cover or allow it to cancel automatically.
Account fees
From 1 July 2019 there will be a cap on fees (including administration and investment fees) for accounts with balances of less than $6,000. These will be capped at 3% annually. In addition to this, exit fees will be removed so members will be able to transfer their superannuation freely without this additional cost.
Small and inactive accounts
Superannuation funds will be required to transfer all inactive superannuation accounts with a balance of less than $6,000 to the ATO.
Work test exemption for recent retirees
The government will introduce an exemption from the work test for voluntary contributions to superannuation, for people aged 65-74 with superannuation balances below $300,000, in the first year that they do not meet the work test requirements.
Currently, the work test restricts the ability to make voluntary superannuation contributions for those aged 65-74 to individuals who self-report as working a minimum of 40 hours in any 30 day period in the financial year.
The work test exemption will apply from 1 July 2019 and is intended to give recent retirees additional flexibility to get their financial affairs in order in the transition to retirement.
Pension Work Bonus
From 1 July 2019 the earning cap for the Pension Work Bonus will increase from $250 to $300 per fortnight to allow pensioners to earn up to a maximum of $7,800 without an impact on their pension (an additional $1,300 per year). This measure will also include self-employed retirees.
We're right beside you
For further details of the above announcements and/or other measures announced but not listed here, go to Budget 2018-19. Please note that these are proposed changes only and have not yet been passed by Parliament. Club Super will keep you informed if and when these proposed changes are legislated.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss how the above measures impact you, please contact Club Super on 1300 369 330 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

On his recent visit to the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to David Cameron regarding the consistent drop in the number of students from India choosing to go to Britain to study. This, he says is primarily because of the difficulty in acquiring a student visa. The issue was raised strongly as there has been a drastic drop in the number of students.
The result of the meeting
The number has dropped to as less as 50 percent by the last three years. It was an observation made by the External Affairs Minister. He believes that it will be a matter of mutual benefit for both the students and universities of the United Kingdom. The spokesperson believes that UK will be a very good as a good education destination.
Most of the students who come the universities come from the middle classes who wish to get educated in prestigious institutions in the country. British Prime Minister David Cameron does not think that this is an issue that ends here. The discussion continues until a decision is reached in this regard.
The past and the future
The drop in the number of students has been recorded as 18,535 in 2010-11 to 10,235 in 2012-13. The above mentioned fact has been revealed by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. Among other consequences, the universities of the country have also been warned against students being removed from the net migration figures.
One of the ways by which this is being done is the removal of the post study work permit which is being considered as one of the major reasons to keep international students away. However, the conversation that took place between the Prime Ministers of both the countries is giving some hope in this situation and there will be a better situation in the future of both the country.

The owner of this property requires a 50% down payment to reserve and full payment 30 days before check-in.
This is a great condo for a small family ski vacation, economical and close to the lifts. The unit was a perfect fit for the four of us, and was equipped with all the requisite necessities, especially in the kitchen, plus some additional touches (like soap, laundry soap, hair dryers, board games, books, etc... ) that made our stay very comfortable. The bathrooms were recently renovated, so everything in that respect was flawless. The unit, itself, is on the first floor so there is minimal stair climbing involved. As advertised, the hot tub is about a 15 second quick (very quick when there is 6 inches of snow on the ground!) from the door of the condo. The deck outside the condo provides good views of the area, and if you walk to the far end of the deck, you can see a great view of Mt. Crested Butte. Given the way the condo is situated the bedrooms stay very quiet, so our much needed sleep was undisturbed. The ski area base (lifts, stores, and shuttle to town) is about a 5 or 10 minute (level!) walk, so we were at the lifts when they opened. Had we been lazy, there is a tram in the ski area parking lot, that would have minimized the walk. Most importantly, it is obvious that the owners take great care to insure the comfort of their guests, and this is what made our visit perfect. (Thank you!) I would highly recommend this condo for a couple or small family that want to take advantage of the beauty of Mt. Crested Butte.

Appraisers are facing delays to their payments - or even not getting paid at all - as appraisal management companies go under
The barriers to becoming a certified appraiser could lead to shortages in the field, an industry professional has claimed
CHICAGO (Oct. 20, 2011) – Citing its benefits for consumers, the nation's largest professional association of real estate appraisers announced support Wednesday for recently introduced federal legislation that would improve the mortgage underwriting process by ensuring energy costs are included. The Appraisal Institute expressed its backing of the Sensible Accounting to Value Energy Act of 2011 during a news conference at the U.S. Capitol with bill sponsors Sens. Michael Bennet, D-Colo, and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and other organizations. "We strongly support the SAVE Act because it will improve communication and the flow of information among appraisers, lender clients and those interacting with the mortgage lending process," Appraisal Institute Immediate Past President Leslie Sellers, MAI, SRA, said at the event. "It would require use of qualified, competent appraisers and would help ensure that appraisers have access to data needed to analyze the effects of energy-efficient home improvements in the marketplace. Consumers would benefit from the bill's efforts to help ensure they receive a reliable, credible opinion of value." The SAVE Act would instruct federal loan agencies to assess a borrower's expected energy costs when financing a house. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would issue updated underwriting and appraisal guidelines for any loan issued, insured, purchased or securitized by the Federal Housing Administration or any other federal mortgage loan insurance agency. The bill establishes two methods for determining expected annual energy costs: average utility costs, derived from the Department of Energy's Residential Energy Consumption Survey database and adjusted for the square footage of the home, or if available, a qualified, independent energy report of the subject property. The measure includes two primary features: an affordability test and a loan-to-value adjustment. Sellers said the SAVE Act would help protect taxpayers from another foreclosure crisis; would lower utility bills for U.S. households; would remove from federal mortgage policy an impediment to home energy efficiency; would drive business and job growth in the construction and manufacturing sectors; would expand the accessibility and affordability of energy efficient homes; and would reduce U.S. energy dependence. "The SAVE Act would require that appraisers are provided with all relevant information relating to energy-efficient features of properties," Sellers said. "And by defining these types of appraisal assignments as 'complex,' the SAVE Act would help ensure those properties are valued by an appraiser with enhanced competency who can more thoroughly analyze and make appropriate judgments for building energy performance and who can help lenders understand their collateral risk." In addition to the Appraisal Institute, organizations supporting the SAVE Act include: Alliance to Save Energy, American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, Building Energy Efficient Codes Network, Center for American Progress, E2 Environment Entrepreneurs, Earth Advantage Institute, EcoBroker, Efficiency First, Global Green USA, Green Builder Coalition, Institute for Market Transformation, International Code Council, Leading Builders of America, National Association of State Energy Officials, Natural Resources Defense Council, The Residential Energy Services Network, Inc., Structural Insulated Panel Association and U.S. Green Building Council. The Appraisal Institute is a leader in green valuation, having developed the Residential Green and Energy Efficient Addendum and the Valuation of Sustainable Buildings Professional Development Program. Learn more about the SAVE Act from the Institute for Market Transformation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of energy efficiency, green building and environmental protection in the United States and abroad.

Its mission is to advance professionalism and ethics, global standards, methodologies, and practices through the professional development of property economics worldwide. Organized in 1932, the Appraisal Institute advocates equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in the appraisal profession and conducts its activities in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.

WebMD is a plethora of good information. Here is something I thought you might find interesting and helpful. After years on 3rd shift, I was very deficient in Vitamin D. I'm starting to do better now! This is completely from WebMD and is not mine but I wanted you to have the info.
10 Nutrients You May Be Missing
WebMD Feature
By Peter Jaret
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario, MD
Americans may eat too many calories, but we're still falling short on essential nutrients. That may seem like a paradox. It's not.
"Americans consume far too many empty calories — foods high in sugar or fat and not much else," says Kathy McManus, PhD, head of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "And we're still not getting people to eat enough nutrient-rich foods, like vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and nuts."
In 2010, the updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans singled out 10 nutrients that Americans may be missing. Four are so low in many people's diets that deficiency poses a real public health risk. They include calcium, vitamin D, potassium, and fiber. Levels of six other key nutrients are "tenuous," according to the guidelines, including vitamins A, C, E and K, along with choline and magnesium.
Here's why these 10 nutrients are so important — and how to ensure you're getting enough.
Most of us know that calcium is essential for healthy bones. New evidence suggests that calcium also protects the heart and arteries. It appears to lower the risk of breast cancer and may guard against other forms of cancer, too. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans concluded that many children and most adults fall short on this essential mineral.
How much to shoot for: Women 19 to 50 should get 1,000 milligrams of dietary calcium per day. After age 50, the recommendation climbs to 1,200 milligrams. Adult men should get 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day and 1,200 milligrams a day after age 70.
Where to find it: Milk and milk products such as yogurt, calcium-enriched tofu, calcium-fortified orange juice, fortified cereals, low-fat cheeses such as ricotta.
Bonus nutrients: Milk, yogurt, and low-fat cheeses are great sources of protein as well as essential nutrients such as potassium.
Simple changes you can make: Have a bowl of fortified cereal with milk for breakfast. Help yourself to yogurt for a snack or quick lunch.
Vitamin D
The sunshine vitamin, D is produced by the skin when we're exposed to sunlight. Since many of us work inside, we may not get enough sun exposure to generate adequate vitamin D. Although recent research suggests that vitamin D may be important for a range of functions, the best evidence points to its essential role in building and maintaining strong bones.
How much to shoot for: Optimal levels of D are a subject of debate. The most authoritative source is the Institute of Medicine, which published new guidelines in 2010. It recommends that most adults get 600 international units of vitamin D a day. For people 70 and older, the recommended amount climbs to 800 international units. Most Americans can get enough in their diets, the IOM report concluded.
Where to find it: Salmon, rockfish, tuna, vitamin D-fortified milk, fortified orange juice.
Bonus nutrients: Along with vitamin D, fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which protect the heart and may also slow age-related memory problems.
Simple changes you can make: Drink a glass of milk with lunch. Have a serving of a fatty fish such as salmon or sardines two or three times a week.
Most of us know that too much sodium in the form of salt can raise blood pressure. Less well known is that fact that too little potassium also contributes to blood pressure. Falling short on potassium may also increase the risk of kidney stones and osteoporosis.
How much to shoot for: Adults should get for 4,700 milligrams of potassium a day. The latest nationwide survey shows that a whopping 97% of Americans don't hit the mark.
Where to find it: Potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, carrots, beans, peas, lentils, yogurt, bananas, fish, orange juice.
Added bonus: By eating more fruit and vegetables, you'll increase your intake of vitamins A, C, and K, all of which are in short supply in the average American diet.
Simple changes you can make: Add a few bean or lentil dishes, such as split pea soup and chili, to your repertoire of home-cooked meals. Slice a banana over your breakfast cereal.
Fiber is the indigestible part of plant foods. Researchers have long known that fiber helps keep digestion regular. Newer findings show that it protects against heart disease and type 2 diabetes and may help people maintain a healthy weight.
How much to shoot for: A healthy diet should contain 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories. That means most adults should get 28 to 34 grams a day.
Where to find it: Vegetables and fruit, whole grains, cooked dry beans and peas, nuts.
Bonus nutrients: Nuts are rich in unsaturated oils, which help protect against heart disease. Beans and lentils are great sources of potassium and magnesium.
Simple changes you can make: Snack on whole-grain crackers or popcorn (a whole grain). Choose breads with 100 percent whole grain flour as their first ingredient. Look for breakfast cereals with at least 5 grams of dietary fiber per serving. Add canned, rinsed chickpeas to salads, soups, or pasta dishes.
Vitamin A
This crucial nutrient is key to maintaining healthy eyesight and robust immunity. It also plays a role in many other physiological functions, including tissue growth.
How much to shoot for: Adult women need 700 milligrams a day. Men need 900 milligrams.
Where to find it: Dark green and bright colored vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, winter squash, spinach, collard greens, romaine lettuce.
Bonus nutrients: Most vegetables are loaded with fiber and other vitamins, including C, another nutrient deficient in some diets.
Simple changes you can make: Have a salad with mixed greens along with dinner. Snack on carrot sticks or sliced red peppers. Make sure your daily diet includes at least four and preferably more servings of vegetables.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C may not ward off colds, as once believed, but it is essential for maintaining a strong immune system. A potent antioxidant, vitamin C may help lower the risk of cancer. It's also required for wound healing. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans reports that some diets fall short of this critical nutrient.
How much to shoot for: Women need 75 milligrams a day. Men need 90 milligrams a day.
Where to find it: Citrus fruit,guava, peaches, kiwi, cantaloupe, red peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, cauliflower.
Bonus nutrients: Many fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C also contain fiber, as well as other vitamins, including A and K.
Simple changes you can make: Have a piece of fruit for breakfast. Add a serving of vegetables to your lunch or dinner menu.
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is essential for normal blood clotting. It also appears to play crucial roles in bone mineralization and cell growth. Falling short may cause bruising, nosebleeds, and brittle bones, among other problems.
How much to shoot for: Women need 90 micrograms a day. Men need 120 micrograms a day.
Where to find it: Kale, collard greens, spinach, beet greens, mustard greens, Brussels sprouts, broccoli.
Bonus nutrients: Dark leafy green vegetables are loaded with vitamins A and C, as well as loads of fiber.
Simple changes you can make: Experiment with ways to add a serving of dark leafy greens to home-cooked meals. Spinach makes a great topping for pizza, for instance. Broccoli is a tasty addition to stir-fries and casseroles.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant. By neutralizing unstable oxygen molecules, it may help prevent damage to cells that could lead to cancer. Severe vitamin E deficiencies can cause nerve damage. Because many Americans don't get enough nuts and unsaturated oils, they may be in danger of falling short on this crucial nutrient.
How much to shoot for: 15 milligrams a day.
Where to find it: Almonds, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, sardines, avocados, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil.
Bonus nutrients: Nuts are rich in unsaturated fats that help protect against heart disease.
Simple changes you can make: Snack on nuts. Put sliced avocado on sandwiches. Cook with a vitamin E-rich cooking oil.
This little known nutrient is essential for building and maintaining healthy cells. It is particularly important for muscle and nerve function.
How much to shoot for: 425 milligrams for women per day ; 550 milligrams for men per day.
Where to find it: Eggs, cooked dry beans, peas.
Bonus nutrients: Beans and peas are nutritional treasure troves, rich in protein and an array of nutrients, including folate, magnesium, and potassium.
Simple changes you can make: Have a hard-boiled egg for a snack now and then. Whip up an omelet with vegetables for lunch. Add cooked dry beans to your favorite Italian tomato sauce and spaghetti recipe.
Magnesium is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps regulate blood pressure, maintains bone strength, and ensures a healthy immune system.
How much to shoot for: Women between the ages of 19 and 30 need 310 milligrams a day. After age 31, 320 milligrams. Men between the ages of 19 and 30 need 400 milligrams. Then the requirement rises to 420 milligrams.
Where to find it: Halibut, nuts, peanut butter, spinach, oatmeal, beans, lentils.
Bonus nutrients: Beans and lentils are rich in fiber and plant-based proteins. Nuts and fish are excellent sources of unsaturated fats, which help prevent heart disease.
Simple changes you can make: Have a peanut butter sandwich on oat bran bread for lunch. Snack on nuts. Make a three-bean casserole for an easy side dish at lunch or dinner.

Public procurement: Commission refers Hungary to Court to ensure fair access to public contracts
The European Commission has today acted to ensure fair access to public contracts by deciding to refer Hungary to the Court of Justice of the EU in two separate cases. In the first case, the Commission considers that the Hungarian Government central purchasing body breached EU public procurement rules during the award procedure of a framework agreement concerning office supplies. In the second case, the Commission takes the view that Hungary has wrongly implemented EU public procurement rules in its national legislation, in this way restricting access for business to public contracts. EU public procurement rules exist to ensure fair competition for public contracts, thereby creating more business opportunities for European companies while ensuring best value for public money. If the rules are not properly implemented, there is a risk of a closed market and waste of public money. The Commission sent reasoned opinions – the second stage of EU infringement procedures - on both cases to Hungary in March 2010, requesting the authorities to comply with EU law (see IP/10/306). As no satisfactory response was received, the Commission has now decided to take both cases to the Court.
What is the aim of the EU rules in question?
Public procurement is about how public authorities spend public money. It covers purchases of everything from coffee to computer systems, waste water plants, ship building or consulting services. Total public procurement in the EU is estimated at about 17% of the Union's GDP. The open and transparent tendering procedures required under EU public procurement rules mean more competition, stronger safeguards against corruption, and better service and value for money for taxpayers.
How is Hungary not respecting these rules and why are citizens and businesses suffering as a result?
Office Supplies
In June 2009, the Hungarian central purchasing body (KSZF) published in the EU Official Journal a notice for a framework contract for the supply of paper, stationery and other office equipment to several public authorities. The framework contract was worth HUF 3.5 billion (approximately € 13 million) and was due to be valid for 12 months. The contractor was due to be selected following a negotiated procedure, which means that KSZF would have individually negotiated the terms of the contract with bidders.
Informed of the facts through the Hungarian press, the Commission found that by using a negotiated procedure, KSZF had offered less guarantees for transparency and equal treatment to bidders compared to an open procedure – a procedure that is the standard under EU law - and could lead to a waste of taxpayers' money. The Commission's assessment is based on extensive case-law of the Court of Justice of the EU, which very strictly interprets the possibility for derogations from the main rule of open tendering and rejects any extensive reliance on negotiated procedures. According to the Hungarian authorities, a negotiated procedure was justified, since the value of the supplies could not be estimated in advance. However, in the light of the products concerned – office supplies - the Commission doubts that this justification is applicable.
Hungarian Public Procurement Act (HPPA)
Under the reformed HPPA, a new provision was introduced in 2009 that in certain cases, bidders to a public contract can only rely on the resources of another economic operator if they hold a majority influence in that operator. In its assessment of the law, the Commission concluded that this provision restricts the possibilities for such cooperation to fewer cases than provided under EU law. Under EU public procurement rules, bidders may rely on the resources of other operators "regardless of the legal nature of the links".
As a result, the Commission considers that Hungary has failed to fulfil its obligations under EU public procurement rules. In the Commission's view, the modified HPPA restricts access of companies to valuable public contracts, leading to a possible waste of taxpayers' money.

Who does not like the monsoon season? We love to hear the sound of the rainfall and the cool breeze it brings with it. This season is heartily welcomed by all. Though monsoon brings enjoyable weather, but it also causes some problems in our home. Hence we need to take preventive measures to keep our home fine and our lives healthy and active.
1. Clear the gutters properly
Before the advent of monsoon, you should focus on your home drainage. If needed, call experts of drainage solutions and they will handle issues carefully and can put an effective material that can protect to our water ways. During this season keep all the gutters properly cleaned so that the water does not get stuck in the gutters due to non-cleaning of the refuse and debris.
Keep a regular check of the gutters so that rubbish and wastes are thoroughly cleaned and do not remain stuck in the drains. If the gutters are not cleaned regularly, then debris will create blockade and rainwater will not get outlet to move freely. This situation creates numerous problems. Hiring drainage solutions will prove useful.
2. Check the roof and wall leaks
Make sure that the roofs and terrace floors do not have cracks and splits. These splits should be repaired carefully before the monsoon season arrives. Apply waterproof coverings after the primary repairs, so that the gaps are filled properly. The debris should be removed from the water pipes so that no blockage is caused for the rainwater to pass through. The leakage of the walls should be repaired too; otherwise if water starts soaking in the wall cracks then the walls will get damaged.
3. Proper ventilation required
Install proper ventilators in the house so that dampness is not caused in the rainy season. Keep away from dampness so that your family's health is not affected. Dampness and stagnant water creates mosquitoes and other insects, which will subject you and your family to various diseases. Proper ventilation will keep ailments out from your house and moreover you will enjoy the cool monsoon breeze. Make cross ventilation so that the air flows without any hindrance.
4. Check all electrical fittings
Call the electrician to check all the electrical wirings and fittings of the house. Loose and damaged electrical wirings causes short-circuit which could turn out to be fatal.
5. Obliterate termite invasion
These menaces are awful and should be terminated with war footing. They develop in moist woods and completely wreck the wood. Moreover, it starts infecting the walls if they are moist. Make sure that the termites do not attack the wooden frames of the doors and windows. Before monsoon arrives, apply the wooden doors and window frames with anti-termite oil.

(1 pair of White TALL HIND Boots, your choice of Size)
Iconoclast Orthopedic Support Boots feature our patented Double Sling Straps for unparalleled lateral support. With its evenly distributed support to the suspensory branches, Iconoclast is the only boot that truly lists and cradles the equine leg. Designed to reduce joint interference and restriction, this is the perfect all around boot for every equine discipline.
Designed to use every day while riding to aid in the prevention of soft tissue damage of the lower legs, Iconoclast Orthopedic Support Boots will help your horse feel more confident with each step he takes, in and out of the arena.
The Iconoclast Orthopedic Support Boot has absolutely REVOLUTIONIZED equine leg support. Iconoclast Boots are specifically designed to support and protect the suspensory and sesamoidial regions by providing 360-degree support of the equine athlete through a strap on, non-restrictive device.
Our entire line of Iconoclast Boots were designed by horse trainers and leading veterinarians who were unsatisfied with the performance of every other equine boot in the market place. The equine leg needs support and protection against the daily rigors of extreme physical activities. There has not been a boot that adequately meets both of those demands until now.
The sizing chart below is appropriate for all Iconoclast Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Boots. We recommend using a soft tape measure. If you do not have a soft tape measure you can use something like string and wrap it around the fetlock, mark where the end meets the rest of the string and then simply lay it flat next to a tape measure or ruler to get your measurement.
Be sure to measure bot the FRONT & BACK fetlocks as they are often different sizes. Customers regulary order boots in one size for the front legs and a different size for the hind legs.
Medium: 9.5 - 10.5 in / 24.13 - 26.67 cm
Large: 10.5 - 11.5 in / 26.67 - 29.21 cm
XL: 11.5 - 12.5 in / 29.21 - 31.75 cm

Building Browsergames: Securing our hashes (PHP)
John Munsch recently pointed out that there's a bit of a glaring security hole in our login and registration systems: at the moment, we're extremely vulnerable to Rainbow Table attacks. In John's words:
The MD5 hash doesn't actually protect you if someone were able to dump your table of users or gain access to the database in some fashion.
And you know what? He's absolutely right. If a malicious user managed to get access to our database at the moment, our user's logins wouldn't be protected at all. This is a big problem, and something we need to fix.
Unfortunately, because password hashing is one-way, we can't just get users to reset their password. They'll either need to re-register entirely, or we can setup a special page(and stat) in order to make sure that users have reset their passwords. John recommends adding what's known as a 'salt' value to user's passwords – that way, you might have something like this:
password = 'foo' password + salt = 'foobrownfox' hashed password = hash('foobrownfox')
And if a user were to attack our login information using a rainbow table, they might manage to figure out that the passwords being stored in the database were values like 'foobrownfox' – but they'd have a bit of a harder time figuring out what was the salt value and what was the actual password.
Luckily, this is a pretty easy fix to implement – we just modify our two calls to md5() in our login and register code to add a salt to the user's passwords. Here's the changes we make to register.php:
mysql_real_escape_string(md5('saltgoeshere' . $password)));
Unfortunately, at this moment making these changes breaks things for users who signed up before we had to make this fix. In order to try and keep things as seamless as possible for the user, we'll be modifying our login code slightly:
20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55
$query = sprintf("SELECT COUNT(id) FROM users WHERE UPPER(username) = UPPER('%s') AND password='%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string(md5($password))); $result = mysql_query($query); list($count) = mysql_fetch_row($result); if($count == 1) { $_SESSION['authenticated'] = true; $_SESSION['username'] = $username; header('Location:changepass.php'); } else { $query = sprintf("SELECT COUNT(id) FROM users WHERE UPPER(username) = UPPER('%s') AND password='%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string(md5('saltgoeshere' . $password))); $result = mysql_query($query); list($count) = mysql_fetch_row($result); if($count == 1) { $_SESSION['authenticated'] = true; $_SESSION['username'] = $username; $query = sprintf("UPDATE users SET last_login = NOW() WHERE UPPER(username) = UPPER('%s') AND password = '%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string(md5('saltgoeshere' . $password))); mysql_query($query); $query = sprintf("SELECT is_admin FROM users WHERE UPPER(username) = UPPER('%s') AND password='%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string(md5('saltgoeshere' . $password))); $result = mysql_query($query); list($is_admin) = mysql_fetch_row($result); if($is_admin == 1) { header('Location:admin.php'); } else { header('Location:index.php'); } } else { $error = 'There is no username/password combination like that in the database.'; } }
We've made a small change to our login code, so that it first tests to see if the user's attributes match up to any users who haven't had their passwords salted – if they do, we redirect them to the page where they can change their password. Here's what the template for our 'change password' page(change_pass.tpl) looks like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
  <title>Change Password</title>   {if $error ne ""} Error: {$error} {/if} {if $message ne ""} {$message} {/if} <form method='post' action='changepass.php'> Password: <input type='password' name='password' id='password' />
 Confirm Password: <input type='password' name='confirm' />
 <input type='submit' value='Change Password' /> </form>
With the template created, all we need to do is build the page that handles changing the user's password – like so:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
<?php include 'smarty.php'; require_once 'login-check.php'; if($_POST) { $password = $_POST['password']; $confirm = $_POST['confirm']; if($password != $confirm) { $error = 'Passwords do not match!'; } else { require_once 'config.php'; // our database settings $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql'); mysql_select_db($dbname); $query = sprintf("UPDATE users SET password = '%s' WHERE username = '%s'", mysql_real_escape_string(md5('saltgoeshere' . $_POST['password'])), mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['username'])); mysql_query($query); $message = 'Password updated successfully.'; } } $smarty->assign('error',$error); $smarty->assign('message',$message); $smarty->display('change_pass.tpl'); ?>
And that's all there is to it! With a fairly simple change, we've managed to secure our user's information a bit better – a malicious user with direct access to our database won't be able to easily figure out what a user's password is just by using a Rainbow table. As an added bonus, we've also created an extra piece of functionality – a change password page!
Note: don't forget to change 'saltgoeshere' to an actually random value, like 's79dj@#*(hd' or something – you won't make any security gains if malicious users can easily guess your password salt. If you're feeling really adventurous, you could(and probably should) turn the salt into a configuration parameter – but I'll leave how to do that up to you.
Wish there was more?

A converged fabric based on Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) helps data center architects and managers reduce CAPEX, OPEX, while simplifying the network infrastructure. Up until recently, there was something hindering the adoption of FCoE: 10GBASE-T.
Historically, deploying FCoE on the links between servers and aggregation switches meant that one had to use optical fiber or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable assemblies. The first generation of aggregation switches that supported 10GBASE-T did not support FCoE. Additionally, 10GBASE-T Ethernet server adapters did not support FCoE as well, and FCoE was only available with Converged Network Adapters (CAN) that supported the SFP+ form factor. That meant one could implement ToR architectures with FCoE using DAC cable assemblies or other architectures using optical fiber for longer distances.

The sun came out today so it was a great opportunity to get some photos. The subjects are the local town hall and the view from the new deck in the garden. Both should expand with a simple click on the pictures.
Now its time to get ready to face the flight to Shanghai. The plan is (take a deep breath) to start in London, watch Wicked again as a treat, fly to Shanghai for a couple of days, get the train to Suzhou, head north to Beijing for a few days then go to X'ian followed by Chengdu and Sichuan then move to Guilin and finally end up in Hong Kong for a more relaxing break. I'm sure I have missed something out..

Volunteers sought for 2,800 Red Rock Arbor Day plantings
More than 100 volunteers are needed to plant 2,800 small indigenous shrubs and trees for Arbor Day on a shaved-off mesa at
Red Rock Canyon Open Space Saturday morning, May 7.
The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. with speeches by city leaders, followed by planting efforts from 9 to noon, according to Dennis Will, a forester with Colo-rado Springs Parks. A continental breakfast will be provided.
The plantings are intended to restore a roughly 1-acre area next to the Greenlee Trail about a quarter-mile from the city open- space property's main parking lot, which is master-planned to eventually become a dog off-leash area.
The park is located south of Highway 24 at High Street/Ridge Road.
Will said last week that about 50 volunteers had signed up. "We need 50 or 60 more," he said.
To accommodate the volunteers, extra parking will be allowed outside the lot, Will said.
Working under the supervision of City Parks-organized crews, participants will be digging holes, planting, mulching and watering. A hat, gloves, sturdy shoes, sunscreen and a water bottle are recommended. Volunteers will need to bring their own shovels.
The types of vegetation will be gambel oak, mountain mahogany, three-leaf sumac and Ponderosa pine trees. "We're trying to revegetate the area back to its original state," Will said.
The top of the mesa is fairly flat and open - reportedly because the Bock family (the former owners, who lived there for about 80 years) bulldozed it to gather fill material for uses elsewhere on the property.
The speakers will be Paul Butcher, City Parks director; Jim McGannon, City Parks forester; Richard Stettler, chair of the city's Trails, Open Space and Parks (TOPS) committee (which led the Red Rock purchase using city open-space sales tax money); Naomi Marcus, of the Colorado State Forest Service (whose district area includes Red Rock Canyon); Richard Skorman, City Council member; and Chris Lieber, director of development for City Parks and TOPS.

Hungry for another title, Ravens' Lewis watches diet
Ray Lewis, 36 year old linbacker for the Baltimore Ravens, is well-known for his "ridiculous diet" according to his teammate Terrell Suggs. Lewis understands that football is a highly demanding sport and believes his eating habits are what have helped him maintain the longevity of his pro career, consisting of 16 years in the NFL.
A typical breakfast may contain: A protein shake, egg whites, an apple, lots of water, and his daily supplements (most likely a variety of vitamins and minerals). Lewis makes sure to plan healthy snacks throughout the day, promoting both energy maintenance and recovery.
Lewis is aware of his age but truly believes that his diet gives him a huge advantage: "I'm watching these guys, with their cheeseburgers and stuff," he says. "And you're going to compete against me? Even if you're younger and faster, your fuel won't let you beat me."

Headshot FAQs
What to Wear?
Dark solids look good on everybody. Avoid bold patterns and lighter, pastel colors. They make people with fair complexions look washed out - especially in black and white. Bring at least three tops - more if you like. It is better to have more than we actually use than too few. Consider bringing clothes for different "looks." For example, you might bring business attire as well as the usual more casual outfits. If you want to do some three quarter length shots, the guidance is a little looser. Bring something you like, but again, stay away from bold patterns and things like stripes. If you have outfits specific to a particular sport or occupation, these are sometimes used for three quarter length "character" shots. Stay away from high turtlenecks. They might think you are hiding something.
What about Hair?
The "how will I wear it to the audition?" rule applies here as well. For women, if you often wear it up or down, we should shoot it both ways, if possible. For men, if you have a beard or mustache, and you want to have some shots done with it on and off, it might be better to split the session over a couple of days to allow your skin to settle down after the "shearing."
What about Makeup?
For men, nothing is necessary, unless you have very fair eyebrows, and then just a little pencil can help. Don't worry about temporary blemishes. I will zap them in Photoshop. For women, try to think of what you would likely wear to an actual audition. Maybe just a little extra around the eyes. Some people of both sexes feel better if they engage a makeup artist. I certainly have no objection to this.
What will the session be like?
I work in my home, so the environment is very informal. I shoot digitally, so you will see the results at intervals while we are working. After the first few shots, I will demonstrate the electronic retouching that goes into the finished product. Remember, though, that an actor's headshot should be a really good picture of the way you really look. The pictures start out in color, but you will have the option of having them in black and white as well. Black and white is still the standard of the industry, but color is becoming more acceptable. Digital technology allows me to offer the best of both worlds. Finally, you are welcome to bring a friend or family member to help with hair and makeup or to help arrange your clothing while you are in a pose. Sometimes if you try to straighten a wrinkle yourself, another one just pops up elsewhere. It is not necessary to bring anyone with you, but it can be helpful, especially if this is your first headshot session. Be sure it is someone with whom you will feel comfortable and not self-conscious.
