An Interview with Joel Harmsworth
Rapha Continental director Joel Harmsworth is a relative newcomer to road riding. Which makes his intuitive feel for the speed and flowing lines of the sport all the more impressive. "I guess it's a bit like dancing," Harmsworth explains. "You don't need to be a great dancer to appreciate the moments of incredible beauty."
It was while directing another Rapha film Down Under, Great Ocean Road Classic (GORC), that Harmsworth became fascinated with what he calls the "pain aspect" of road riding. "It's amazing the extent to which the riders faces convey what they're going through," he says, "how much they suffer".
The Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, location for The Snowys, are a popular training area for Australia's pro riders, although principally in summer. Harmsworth and the Rapha crew were filming in autumn and found themselves up against challenging conditions as a result.
"To be honest, the mountains can get snow at any time of the year," explains Wilf Sweetland, The Snowys executive producer at The Sweetshop, who produced the film for Rapha. "Even in summer, a sudden storm can dump a decent amount of snow. We had pretty much all the seasons in one day."
Harmsworth headed out on location the weekend before filming began, an opportunity both to recce the route and to get to know the members of the local community whose dialogue forms the backbone of the narrative.
"These guys really are mountain men," Sweetland says, "tough old types of the kind you find less and less these days." From two days of interviews, Harmsworth and editor Michael Lutman pared down the dialogue into the final cut.
The film closes with lines from Andrew Barton Patterson's celebrated poem, Clancy of the Overflow:
And he sees the vision splendid
Of the sunlit plains extended
And at night the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars.
Known universally by his nom de plume, 'Banjo', A.B. Patterson is by some distance Australia's most famous poet. International audiences tend to know him as the author of Australia's unofficial national anthem, Waltzing Matilda. In his native land, however, he is best known for verses such as Clancy of the Overflow, published in 1899, and The Man from Snowy River, published a year later and in which Clancy makes a cameo appearance.
Though fictional, the Clancy in question was based on a real-life 'drover' (roughly Australia's equivalent of the American cowboy) and the Overflow was likely a livestock station, either in New South Wales or Queensland. Patterson himself was a Sydney lawyer, a writer whose work is characterised by overtly romantic portrayals of bush life and the characters who inhabit it. The enduring appeal of these 'bush ballads' remains the same as it ever was. At the time of publication, Australia was undergoing a period of rapid urbanisation and Clancy represented a life many Australians had surrendered only recently, and in some cases extremely reluctantly.
In the intervening years, Clancy became an expression of national character, the embodiment of the physically capable, carefree 'dinkum' Aussie. The appeal of his imagined life, one spent beneath big skies in open country, unfettered by what Patterson called the "rush and nervous haste" of urban life, is something that continues to resonate with modern, city-dwelling Australians; it is one that also resonates with every road rider.
The parallel Harmsworth draws between horse rider and cyclist in The Snowys is an organic one, and yet it was coincidence that led to the inclusion of the verse. "As we were talking," Harmsworth explains, "one of the old guys started reciting the Clancy of the Overflow entirely off the cuff. You could tell he was quite a romantic sort and we got the feeling he had all this poetry inside him; suddenly it all came pouring out."

Great films .Both the Snowys and Van Diemans Land. I have a love for the mountains here in Australia and nothing beats the solitude experienced in Tassie. Given your use of custom builders during the Continental rides overseas would you consider doing the same here. We have allways had a healthy framebuilding culture and like elsewhere it hasnt gone away entirely. I would even like to think it has become more refined. Keep up the great work

looking at the forcast makes me sick to my stomach, highs aroun 40 for the next 7 days. it's still early in Febuary.. but do u guys think this is the end to the season? ( hate to be a downer)
Better ride tomorrow. Never know what the future holds.
Got a big trip planned for Friday, then it looks like we'll be stickin' a fork in the season....can't see getting enough snow again to last. I'll believe it when I see it though.
south of 29..is toast next week. Lets hope Up north can hang on till early March
rode outagamie, Brown, and Waupaca counties yesterday and very nice. Best trails in years. Today leaving in a few mins going to ride Calumet, and Manitowoc counties today. One good thing about Appleton area you have many different ways to go. This warm is going to kill it here after tuesday. Warm weather sucks arse!!!!!!!!!!!!
We've had a great season up til now, so I can't complain much. I gotta admit, after the cold snaps of negative temps, this first 50* day feels GREAT!!!!! It's maintenacne time now!
glad we went yesterday and put 180 miles on because we just took them out of the trailer to put them back in the pole barn and its slush under the snow
this past week was the first week dane county was grooming every night this season, definently best trails so far. temps duck below zero by next saturday, unlikely but maybe one last storm is brewing, season aint over till the fat lady sings!
Same here. Trails were the best in 20 yrs been here, only trailered once and still got 1700 mi. Depression is about to set in, 48 deg today with wind. Time for a snow dance!
I got out for a ride in North-Central MN over the weekend. Put on 200 miles Friday and Saturday. Tried to go a little more Sunday AM, but the road crossings were bare of snow, and it was getting really sticky with the melting, which didn't really kick in until Sunday.
The Good: We saw groomers a LOT during our rides. Considering they usually groom mid-week where we were. We were fortunate enough to be the first ones to put tracks on the new surface a couple times.
Traffic levels were not as heavy as we've seen in the past. you could ride for long stretches without coming across any other traffic.
The Bad: There was still some trail areas that were being used for logging, and were plowed down pretty low, making for tough riding. Lots of choppy bumps.
Driving home sunday afternoon, we saw puddles on some of the trails. There were places that we rode across on Friday that were virtually bare of snow by Sunday. Not sure I think things are done for yet, but they really are going to need some fresh snowfall before I'd think about going back.
But there SHOULD be enough winter left that things will rebound, i'd think.

Horseback riding tours
Rides in USA
Intro to USA
Trip in USA
- Choose Country - Canada USA - Choose Continent - Africa Asia Central America Eastern Africa Europe Middle East North America Oceania Southern Africa South America
An Inn-to-Inn Hiking, Biking, and Whitewater Rafting Adventure Discover a land still wild with moose, bear, wolf, bighorn sheep, bald eagle and osprey. Encompassing over 1,500 square miles of wilderness, the magnificent country of Waterton-Glacier forms the ideal setting for a smorgasbord of active adventure and wildlife viewing; an absolute feast! We ll hike and mountain bike pristine trails and backcountry roads, and raft the whitewaters of the scenic Flathead River. The history of Waterton Lakes National Park is as deep and rich as its natural beauty. Its story begins more than 10,000 years ago when alpine glaciers melted out of the main valleys, making way for the first signs of human habitation. For thousands of years nomadic tribes camped, hunted and gathered plants along the Waterton Lakes and river in relative harmony. Several different ecological regions meet in Waterton - with prairie plants of the Great Plains, Rocky Mountain plants from northern areas, and coastal plants from the Pacific Northwest all overlapping. This means Waterton has an unusually rich and varied number of plants for its size; many of them are rare or threatened. More than half of Alberta s plant species can be found in Waterton. For this reason, Waterton Lakes National Park was designated a biosphere reserve as part of UNESCO s Man and the Biosphere Programme in 1979. Inn Highlights: The parks distinctive lodges are one of the highlights of these trips. Architects took the mountains majesty to heart when they designed historic Lake McDonald Lodge and Many Glacier Hotel. In the heart of Waterton Lakes, the Prince of Wales Hotel provides the highest quality in comfort, convenience, and ambiance.
How difficult is this trip? ... Really: This trip is more challenging than our Easy tours. It is intended for the average active adult who feels comfortable being active 4-6 hours a day. Hikes of 4-8 miles with options of up to 12 miles, and with climbs of 1350 feet, with options of up to 2200 feet. The bike rides are 13-30 miles/day with an option of up to 40 miles where some shuttling may be involved.
Trip with multi activities
Trip Rating: Moderate to Challenging. Activities: hike (3 days), bike (2 days), raft (1/2 day), kayak or canoe (optional), guest naturalist.
Day 1. Whitewater Rafting the Flathead River or Hiking to Stanton Lake, Lake McDonald Lodge Our group assembles at 10:00 a.m. at the Pine Lodge Quality Inn in Whitefish, Montana. Following a short orientation, we launch our rafts on the wild and scenic Flathead River. With paddles in hand, we shoot rapids with names like Jaws, Pinball and Bonecrusher. For those who prefer not to raft, join one of our guides and explore nearby Stanton Lake. Our arrival at the Lake McDonald Lodge this evening is a fitting introduction to the grand lodges of Glacier National Park. The lodge was built in 1913 and retains its rustic hunting lodge charm with a huge log frame lobby, stone fireplaces and spectacular lakeside setting. A short walk leads to the lake with lovely spots to relax or for a refreshing swim - cold but invigorating! • Rafting the Flathead River [Class II & III; booties provided ]
Day 2. Biking Going-to-the-Sun Road, Prince of Wales Hotel In the cool of the morning, we tackle one of America's most remarkable alpine highways, the renowned Going-To-The-Sun Road. An award winning engineering feat completed in 1932, this road provides unforgettable vistas of towering glaciated peaks, giant alpine valleys and the glaciers and snow fields that gave the park it name. As we crest the Continental Divide at Logan Pass, watch for bighorn sheep and mountain goats in the surrounding cliffs and meadows. We then let loose on the downhill run to St. Mary and the eastern side of the park. From St. Mary we journey north into Canada and the landmark Prince of Wales Hotel in Canada's sister park to Glacier, Waterton National Park. The hotel is one of three remarkable lodges built by the Great Northern Railroad between 1910 and 1927. Sitting on a promontory overlooking the blue-green waters of Upper Waterton Lake, this 7-story hotel opens to a world famous panorama that looks deep into the heart of the surrounding mountain wilderness. Sip a cup of tea or enjoy a glass of beer or wine while you savor the incredible view through the lobby's wall-to-wall picture windows. • Going-to-the-Sun Road [distance approximately 40 miles, 3,500 feet of elevation gain/loss]
Day 3. Hiking in Waterton National Park, Prince of Wales Hotel Our hike today finds us on the Carthew Pass trail, the premier hike in Waterton Lakes National Park. The trail begins at the snow-encrusted headwall of Cameron Lake and ascends through an old growth evergreen forest with some of the largest trees in the park. The shady forest gives way to sun-splashed parklands filled with bear grass and wildflowers. After a steep but rewarding climb, we summit the wind-swept ridge of Carthew Pass and enjoy a sumptuous lunch amid 360 degree alpine splendor. We can return the way we came or enjoy the long descent past sapphire Carthew and Alderson Lakes, dancing waterfalls and lush meadows back to Waterton Village. Opportunities for wildlife sightings are excellent – grizzly and black bears, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, elk, moose and more all can be seen. • Cameron Lake to Waterton Village [12 miles via Carthew Pass; steep 2,200 feet of elevation gain, 3,600 feet of elevation loss. Steep scree slopes.] • Cameron Lake to Carthew Pass [9 miles round trip; 2200 feet of elevation gain, then loss. Steep scree slopes]
Day 4. Mountain Biking in Waterton, Many Glacier Hotel Swapping back to bikes, this morning we cycle the Snowshoe Trail through the waterfall-filled Bauerman Creek Valley. Towering peaks and massive rock walls appear to grow as we proceed up the valley. After a lovely streamside lunch we take a leisurely walk around the bustling little resort town of Waterton Village. In the late afternoon, we drive back to Glacier National Park for our final two nights at the Many Glacier Hotel, another of the Great Northern Railroad's masterpieces. This Swiss-style inn looks out onto Swiftcurrent Lake and a stunning mountain panorama considered by many the most wonderful in the park. Take a stroll on the Swiftcurrent lakeshore and watch for grizzlies, mountain goats, elk and bighorn sheep foraging on the vast alpine mountainsides that surround the lodge.
• Snowshoe Biking Trail [up to 11 miles, dirt roads, single and double-track trails, 800 feet of elevation gain/loss] • Option: Wishbone Trail [ 7.2 miles ]
Day 5. Hiking to Grinnell Glacier, Many Glacier Hotel The Blackfeet Indians called this beautiful valley "waterfalls". Europeans named it "Many Glacier". But there is not a single word that can truly describe this wonderland of glacier-carved mountains, turquoise lakes, vast alpine meadows and the still impressive bulk of Grinnell Glacier itself. Small wonder this is one of the most popular and memorable trails in the park. The trail is also a textbook illustration of the park's retreating glaciers since Grinnell has lost 70% of is mass over the past 100 years. • Moderate Option: Grinnell Glacier [11 miles, 1,700 feet of elevation gain, then loss] • Easy Option: scenic boat cruise [additional cost] • Easy Option: Nature Loop Hike around Swiftcurrent Lake [3.6 miles total, elevation negligible, self-guided]
Day 6. Biking and Canoeing Two Medicine Lake, Whitefish Two Medicine Lake has some of the park's most spectacular scenery, and though it's often overlooked, a visit to the park wouldn't be complete without exploring its glacier-gouged lakes and purplish-red mountains. So we begin our last exhilarating day with a quiet bicycle ride along lower Two Medicine Lake. You can also choose to hike along the lake, canoe or kayak on the lake or take a scenic boat ride across the lake and hike on one of several trails amid the surrounding snowy peaks. Our tour concludes back in Whitefish at approximately 5:30 pm. • Biking Two Medicine Lake [11.3 miles; 650' elevation gain] • Option: scenic boat ride across Two Medicine Lake with various hiking options [distance & elevation change variable] • Option: kayak or canoe Two Medicine Lake [1 hour, self-guided]

The Oft-Titled Wild West of the NBA: Is There Hope for the Underdogs?
Posted by sasilverandblack on 24th August 2010
Upon reading ESPN's NBA summer forecast, I saw what I thought I would see. Out of the 93 panelists, 88 picked the Lakers to win the west for the 4th straight season. Who would have guessed right? They kept their core together while also adding veterans Steve Blake and Matt Barnes.
The other five panelists' picks were what really surprised me. The Rockets and Thunder were picked to win the west by two panelists apiece. As I sat there looking at this, I was baffled. Sure, the Thunder made a monumental leap last year, but to make the Finals this coming year? That is a bit premature methinks. And the Rockets? Yao Ming has not been healthy for a full season in quite some time now. Even with him, they are not a championship caliber team. I'm not sure what makes them look so attractive.
One panelist picked the Dallas Mavericks. Yes, the same Mavericks team that underachieved yet again last spring by being ousted in the first round as the number 2 seed by the number 7 seed Spurs. Again I ask, what makes them a title contender?
Not only was I shocked to see those trio of teams as predicted Finals teams, but I also was shocked not to see a trace of the Nuggets, Jazz, or Spurs. Sure, the Nuggets have the Carmelo Anthony trade rumors to deal with along with an ailing head coach in George Karl, but they are still a great squad. Although the Jazz lost Carlos Boozer, they gained Al Jefferson to fill the gap. And the always potent Spurs could surprise some people this year. The rapid development of George Hill, DeJuan Blair, and the acquisition of the best big from Europe in Tiago Splitter could be enough to vault them into title contention again, provided everyone stays healthy and Richard Jefferson plays to his potential.
The west isn't as narrow as everyone thinks. There could be a surprise or two left in the teams thought to be below the mighty Lakers.

Letters to the Editor
I was very happy to be included in your March "Green by Design" article showcasing green homes, green professionals, and green philosophies. Virginia Wright has written a great article. I did, however, want to clarify a statement she made about me imagining the day when the many products containing the chemical urea formaldehyde will be banned from new construction and yanked out of old buildings.
I do imagine the products being banned, but I don't think they will be yanked from existing buildings, nor do I think this would be entirely appropriate (unless a building's new occupant is highly chemically sensitive). As a home ages, the threat of toxic out-gassing of materials decreases and the act of demolishing these materials in older homes could be more harmful than leaving them alone and could in many cases be very costly. Added urea formaldehyde is kind of like the pink packets of sugar substitute that are on the table of every restaurant. It says right on the packet that it contains a chemical known to cause cancer in test animals. Yet, they sit there on the table, presumably being used by somebody. But my point is that if you went to buy your sheathing or cabinets or composite doors and the ones with added urea formaldehyde had a huge pink label that said: "This product contains added urea formaldehyde, a chemical known to cause cancer, skin irritation, and respiratory diseases," you'd probably purchase the products that didn't have the label.

March was a great issue — from power lines underground to confessions of an L.L. Bean shoplifter. I particularly enjoyed "Good Lives: A Selected History of Sustainability in Maine" by Joshua F. Moore. However, I would like to submit an addition to the impressive long list of local milestones in green living. Over twenty years ago, Phil Conkling led the charge to establish the Island Institute, a truly remarkable achievement. One could argue that its mission embraces the broadest definition of sustainability, including natural, economic, and social. The Island Institute is a state and national treasure, a landmark standard in the sustainability movement.
—Stuart O. Dawson

It was wonderful to see so much of your March issue devoted to being green. But I was surprised to see one of the state's most important players missing. The Chewonki Foundation in Wiscasset has been nurturing environmental stewards since 1915, when it opened its saltwater camp for boys. It became a nonprofit in 1962 and since then has set — and continuously raised — the bar in Maine for sustainability and environmental education. The Chewonki campus is home to a first-of-its kind renewable hydrogen system; it started making and using biodiesel before most people had heard of the stuff. It even raises much of the food the staff and students consume right there on the property. The campus is an inspiring model of wise resource consumption and renewable energy technology. Chewonki is a truly exceptional institution that has continually modeled responsible choices for students and the citizens of Maine.

I must say I felt sorry for Peter Zinn, the author of "Redemption Wear," in your March issue. For more than thirty years I have happily done business with L.L. Bean, and for good reason. When I retired, I traded my professional wardrobe for the L.L. Bean country casual look — one of the blessings of retirement. I cannot imagine not being able to do business with this wonderful American company. Perhaps the good people at Bean will forgive the shoplifting of a young boy and let him come back into their wonderful world.

Having just returned home after a two hour cross-country ski trek through Laudholm Farm in Wells, I made myself a cup of coffee and sat down to look at the copy of Down East that I had picked out of our mailbox. Of course, I immediately recognized the Lord farmhouse in the March "Where in Maine?" photograph. The feature echoed my thoughts of the previous couple of hours: how glad I was that a group of folks had the foresight to save this magnificent piece of property from the hands of developers. Now so many can enjoy all of its wonders. As I was skiing quietly through the trails, I was recalling when Mary Lord would drive some of us children from the farm down to the beach on the old cart path. Now I and anyone else can ski, snowshoe, or walk these trails, and for this I am thankful for the people who put forth the effort to save Laudholm Farm.

Many people who read your March "Talk of Maine" story about the Maine Green Independent Party feel that you gave the impression that members over forty years of age are rare in this political party. Therefore, I wish to clarify that I am seventy-eight years of age and have been a party member for about fifteen years. I have been its treasurer and have run for the House of Representatives as a Green at age seventy, but closer to seventy-one. I remain active in the party serving on the Issues Committee and seeking out legislation that either agrees with or conflicts with the party's Ten Key Values. I work for and donate to Green candidates in Maine and elsewhere in the U.S.
It is my hope and ambition to see the Maine Green Independent Party and all the Green parties globally grow year by year. Change happens slowly, but I believe it is inevitable that the Green Party will one day be a force to reckon with.

The Couchbase client library has many API methods that you can use to implement whatever you desire. The following tables outline some API categories, the methods that are available, and a short description of what those methods do.
These methods allow all of the operations defined for the
memcached protocol, which is implemented in the Enyim client
library inside the
class. A few
of these methods have generic versions that allow automatic
type casting of serializable objects to be retrieved. Many of
these methods can also return a Boolean value indicating
whether the operation succeeded or failed.
Append | Append some bytes to the end of a key. |
Decrement | Decrement a key and return the value. |
FlushAll | Flush all data on all servers for the connected bucket. |
Get | Get the value for a key. |
Increment | Increment the value of a key. |
Prepend | Prepend some bytes to the start of a key. |
Remove | Removes a key from the database. |
Stats | Return statistics about a key, or about the servers in the cluster. |
Store | Stores a value for a key. |
TryGet | Tries to get a value, and returns a Boolean if the value was successfully retrieved. |
The MemcachedClient
has a number of methods
that allow a Check and Set operation to be performed on keys
in the database. Check and Set operations (CAS) are a way to
prevent data loss in a distributed database without heavy
locks or transactions. Before you write data into the database
you can obtain the current cas
value, which
is effectively like a version number for the data in the
database. When you write your new data into the database you
pass along the version you think the data is supposed to have.
If, by the time the write happens, the value is no longer
valid your code will be told that your write failed. You will
then be able to take corrective action such as reading the new
value, its cas, and retrying your operation.
Cas | Perform a Check And Set operation. |
Decrement | Some of the Decrement overloads support returning a
CasResult . |
GetWithCas | Perform a Get and also return a CasResult . |
Increment | Some Increment overloads support passing back a Cas to check for whether the operation succeeded. |
TryGetWithCas | Returns a Boolean so your code knows if the value exists or not, and returns a CasResult if it succeeds. |
The Couchbase library includes the
class, which is a subclass
of the MemcachedClient
class. It has a set
of methods that provide very powerful ways to interact with
data and extent the expiry time concurrently. You will be able
to use all of these methods (get, touch and CAS equivalents)
on both both Couchbase and Memcached buckets in Couchbase 1.7,
except for the Sync operation. Sync is only supported on
Couchbase buckets.
Get | A special form of Get, sometimes referred to as Get and Touch, which a returns the value but allows the expiry time to be reset. |
GetWithCas | Get a value, its Cas, and also reset the expiry, all at once. |
Sync | A very new operation that allows you to wait for data in the database to change in specific ways. Allows you to know when data has been persisted, replicated, or mutated. Remember this operation can only be performed on Couchbase buckets. |
Touch | Reset a keys expiry date without getting its value. |
TryGet | Try to get a value, a Boolean indicates success, reset the expiry, all at once. |
TryGetWithCas | Swiss army knife. Gets a Boolean indicating if the operation succeeded,
gets a CasResult and also resets
the expiry time of value. |

EACP highlights the key role of the cluster model in the development and growth of the aerospace industry in Europe
A total of 13 aerospace clusters have met in the framework of ADM Seville 2002 to analyze projects and performances carried out by the European Aerospace Cluster Partnership (EACP). EACP is the association grouping the most important European aerospace clusters.
The Andalusian aerospace cluster Hélice has been the host member of this meeting, when two new European clusters, one from Russia and the other one from Turkey, have applied to join the EACP.
EACP has currently 39 member clusters from 13 European countries, which comprise more than 4.500 aerospace enterprises, entities and technological and research centres in Europe.
The meeting has been held in the framework of the Aerospace and Defense Meetings Seville 2012, the first international aerospace event taking place in Spain which had the participation of the most outstanding aerospace companies and enterprises.
Seville, 19 May 2012. Directors, managers and representatives from the prime European aerospace cluster met in Seville last 16 May in the framework of the convention Aerospace and Defense Meetings 2012, with the objective of analyzing the international aerospace industry and enhancing the projects and performances which are currently carried out by the European Aerospace Cluster Partnership (EACP), as well as establishing new collaborating ways to keep boosting the development of such a strategic industry in Europe and ensuring Europes leading position in the world aerospace market.
The Andalusian aerospace cluster Hélice has been the host member of this meeting, which is held every year and where clusters have highlighted the role of the cluster model as an essential factor for the development and growth of Aeronautics in Europe and as a backbone and a dynamizing element of the aerospace activity in different European regions and countries. The concept cluster concentrates all the entities and players (enterprises, Academia, technological centres, administration, business associations and trade unions) involved in the aerospace productive chain.
The meeting had the participation of a total of 13 EACP member clusters. EACP is the European association grouping the most signicant European aerospace clusters and has currently 39 partners from 13 different countries, amongst them the cluster Hélice. The participating clusters have been Hélice, Aera, Hegan and Madrid Cluster Aeroespacial, from the side of Spain, Aviation Cluster Hamburg, ASIS and BavAIRia from Germany; Aerospace Valley and Pégase from France; Flag (Belgium); ACA (Turkey), Aerospace Lombardia (Italy) and Pemas (Portugal). At the same time, the had the attendance of representatives from the cluster Ulyanovsk Avia, from Russia, and the cluster Ossa Defence and Aerospace Cluster, from Turkey, which applied to join the EACP.
In the course of the meeting, different issues were discussed like the cooperation and networking strategies among European clusters, the exchange of good practices, the development of new R+D projects in the EC 7 Framework up to 2020, the innovation transfer, competitiveness and efficiency in the sector and international cooperation among Academia.
The meeting has been held in the framework of the convention ADM Seville 2012, in Seville from the 14th to the 17th of May which is the first international aerospace convention taking place in Spain. The aerospace cluster Hélice has been also the host member of this meeting, where a total of 22 promotion entities or aerospace clusters from twelve countries have participated.
ADM has been aimed at facilitating and boosting business among OEMs, top level suppliers and auxiliary enterprises from Europe. The Aerospace and Defence Meetings have been intended to act as a platform to exchange experiences and a meeting point for the aeronautical supply chain, enabling Andalusian companies to do business and contact partners, suppliers and new customers and appeal investment towards Andalusia.
This appointment has been organized by the Trade Promotion Agency of Andalusia (Extenda), entity under the Regional Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Science, in collaboration with Advanced Business Events (ABE), a company specializing in international events for the aerospace industry.
A total of 288 aerospace enterprises and entities from 25 countries have been participating at ADM, among there are OEMs, top level suppliers and auxiliary enterprises. Thus, ADM has involved enterprises such as EADS, Bombardier, Eurocopter, Dassault Aviation, Airbus Operations France, Thales Alenia Space, Siemens, or the Spanish tier one suppliers Alestis Aerospace, Aernnova and Aciturri.

quote bigb12what about mothman i think i saw him in the game when a plane crashes out of no where. I think its suppose to happen when a plane crashes
quote Shakib AkramI think San Andreas is a big game. And in this big game there are big, weird things in the game. I found a deadly bigfoot in San andreas. Its very rare and is found in Shady Creeks. Yes, there is a witch in Las Brujas. When you pick up the flower bucket it starts to cry and is found on the roof of a buildings among Las Brujas. When you go to the Leatherface farm, you see there is a lot of blood on the kitchen. It shows that someone was killed there.In Mount Chilliad, when you go to the top, carefully look at the place where the parachute spawns, you can see a white figure for 1-1.5 seconds. Some Addons:1) In Madd Dogg's crib go to the bar, you will see someone inhailing and exhailing very hardly, I mean a person who has asthma problem.2) In the Jefferson motel, go to room 4-7, you will find a light wich is turning on/off frequently.

A number of congressional observers believe that after experiencing a backlash from many of his rank and file members for cutting "backroom deals" on other issues, Boehner wants time to educate his caucus on immigration reform and gain some buy-in for any bill or set of bills.
Boehner could antagonize many of his members if he decides to move forward with a bill requiring a majority of Democratic votes to pass.
"If the speaker allows a vote on any immigration bill that results in the passage despite a majority of the Republican conference voting against it, then it will be interesting to see if he can muster the votes to get re-elected after the next election," Alabama GOP Rep. Mo Brooks recently told CNN.
4) Immigration is Obama's best shot for big second-term legislative win
Why? Democrats are basically unified on the issue, while Republicans are divided. On Sunday, New Hampshire's Kelly Ayotte became the first GOP senator outside of the "Gang of Eight" to publicly endorse the group's plan.
"This is a thoughtful, bipartisan solution to a tough problem," she said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
Nothing focuses a politician's attention like an election loss, and Republicans were thumped last year by the country's growing Hispanic population.
Latinos backed Obama over Mitt Romney by a 44-point margin. GOP strategists are concerned about the party's long term viability in national elections if that trend is not reversed.
Some congressional conservatives have already said opposing the "Gang of Eight's" plan is a matter of principle and they won't bend.
But others might. This is a rare moment when the two political parties' priorities may overlap enough to make Capitol Hill a productive place.
5) Polls -- what does the public think?
Most national polling conducted over the past few months indicate majority support for an eventual pathway to citizenship, as long as undocumented workers clear a series of hurdles such as paying back taxes and fines. Support for a pathway ranges from nearly 60% to almost 80% of Americans, depending on the poll.
65% of Americans back a pathway to citizenship as long as it requires payment of back taxes and fines, according to a May 30-June 2 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. 77% of Democrats support a pathway under such circumstances, compared to 58% of Republicans and 54% of independents.
People are skeptical, however, about the ability of Congress to get the job done, according to a May 22-28 Quinnipiac University survey. Only 24% of the Quinnipiac poll's respondents believe congressional Democrats and Republicans can work together to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
71% of Americans don't expect enough bipartisan cooperation to pass such legislation, according to the survey.

@ loveday, although we have Mila I can relate to the pang of everyone else getting pregnant. I made all my mummy friends either when I was pregnant or when Mila was a baby, so we all have kids the same age. 11 of us in my antenatal class, *everyone* else has had a second baby by now - some of them are over a year old! I know it's partly because a lot of them are in their 30's (I am 26) so have less time up their sleeves than I do, but it's still painful when you want something that someone else has. I am part of another group with about 40 mothers of children Mila's age, and I think around 35 of them have now had a second baby.
This is our first month really trying, but I have wanted a second baby ever since Mila *was* a baby. Hopefully it happens soon for both of us.Mother to miss Mila Arden. Expecting her brother Cato Bennett in March 2014

Just a quick update from me: Got my Wondfo kit and Taking Charge of Your Fertility last night in the mail! TCOYF is fascinating. I need to get a thermometer still and figure out how I want to chart, but I think I will follow at least some of it. I'm so curious to start figuring out how my body works better. On that note, I have finished taking the bc pill. We won't TTC yet but it's good to know that I can start getting my body back to normal.
Good luck to you all!

Trivers also pointed out that the National Review citation ignored the role of the candidates' mates in the production of progeny. Note to Williamson: females also contribute genetic material in reproduction.
Nevertheless, kudos to the National Review for attempting to wrestle with evolutionary theory, even if Williamson took to it with all the dexterity of a man in a straitjacket. By the way, Trivers's latest book is entitled The Folly of Fools: The Logic of Deceit and Self-Deception in Human Life. When I'm done with my copy, it's all yours, Kevin.

Its problem is that it is too clunky and clumsy for midsized, reasonably homogeneous networks and is (IMO) tremendous overkill for a simple cluster or small network. It is all things to all men, and handles administrivia like file/log rotation as well as configuration synchronization. There are things I really like about cfe, but it isn't at all easy to learn or use and just doesn't fit that smoothly into the Red Hat Way. It also isn't really a replacement for NIS... As you already said, rsync is a lot easier to use and simple enough to hack into a solution that IS easy to use and understand (as many of us have already done -- I even have rsynclets built into makefiles:-).

WHEN are you ready to start offering your knowledge to other people?
There are tons of so called 'experts' asking too much money, but what are general rules for people that want to go into the SEO field to know if they are still too green or that they know enough to give it a go!
Posted 24 October 2005 - 01:19 PM
Theory is a good grounding, but you have to see it in action to "get it". If you don't have willing "clients" (ie, family & friends) to let you use their sites as playgrounds, create a few sites of your own and play with them. It's always a good idea to have a few sites you can use for testing when things change so often...

Networking is EVERYTHING but especially if you are just starting out. And you can build your networks virtually or locally the old fashioned way. All depends on your target market and how you like to do business.
Attitude is the other biggie. You can sell what you DO know and the expertise you DO have without putting up smoke and mirrors. People like honesty. Don't sell yourself short.
Posted 08 November 2005 - 04:19 AM
My starting out story is kind of funny and actually happened without me really even knowing it. Left butterfly's in my stomach making me wonder if I was doing the right thing.
I did
Now I have many clients and websites where I can not only show what rankings they have achieved, but also place a financial figure to the increase in relavent searches.
Its not just about ranking someone, but also determining what keyphrase or what type of searches are going to provide you with the most benefit.
Jump in there with some of your own sites, pick a subject that is easy yet rewarding to start with (SEO wise) to help build your confidence.
Then take it from there

Many people (myself included) wait and keep thinking to themselves.... but am I qualified enough yet?
Well you won't know until you try, and when you do there will be successes and failures. However from these you will learn more and increase your confidence a lot quicker than not doing it.
In life coaching theory they call this "stepping into your profession", you become an SEO expert when you decide you are one.
Posted 05 June 2006 - 02:08 AM
While I deplore the lack of standards in our industry, it's young and growing, and people are ready to get out there and make a try when they feel ready. I hate to put it so blithely, but it's a sink or swim environment. No one ever enjoys 100% success. Through the years, I've seen all the major names in the business start out an article or forum post with the equivalent of, "Had a client who was doing quite well until recently, and then ...."
So everyone suffers some setbacks, even the bestest folks with the mostest experience.
How you handle those setbacks and the successes will establish your professionalism. And the less often you join in the gleeful flaming that some so-called SEO professionals love to engage in, the more often I'll be be likely to call you a true professional.
If you can respect a diverse set of points of view, be flexible, and yet remain focused and accomplish results, I think you're qualified to do most jobs in this industry. It's a continuous learning experience. Some people forget that.

No matter what business you get into, selling yourself is the key.
If you can't dazzle em with charm........baffle em with BS.

It's been posted on here already, but a lack of standards puts our "industry" at a disadvantage because anyone can jump in and call themselves an expert because they have solid knowledge. Many can do pretty good work with a limited skill and tool set. Each circumstance is different so I say jump in and get your feet wet. Learning by doing is much more effective.
Bottom line: you don't know what you don't know until you don't know it.
If there were an SEO certification, who would be the governing authority to endorse such a certification? It can't be one of the search engines because that would create all sorts of chaos with the other search providers. You could have a search engine provide a certification for their engine ONLY, but they are very careful to keep their organic results unbiased. If they started offering a certification in SEO for their engine, they'd lose that. Then again, there is a great revenue opportunity for the engines to offer an SEO certification so maybe it happens before long. Search eventually becomes just like any other piece of software--you'll have general practitioners and certified experts. I'm not sure that's the path they want to go, but it's an interesting dilemma for certain.

The saying goes, " You learn to doggie paddle before you learn to swim." Know what you can accomplish and know what you can't. It's alright to press on beyond your comfort zone, this is the only way to grow, however, just make sure you control how you do it.
Bite off enough so that you can learn and grow; don't bite off enough to choke and die...
Just as your first web site probably wasn't a big e-comerce site for Best Buy, or a million dollar web application for some big corporation, keep it simple with local mom and pop web businesses. Find out what you know and find out what you don't. See what you can make happen and find out what your strengths are and where you are lacking. Read, study, apply, grow, and then do it again, and again...
Above all, make sure that no matter what happens your client has gotten his money's worth and you will be okay. Make this happen one way or another.

While you can rent a Queen Anne apartment easily enough, this idyllic neighborhood is actually named for its homes. The Queen Anne style of free Renaissance architecture sets the mood in this north-central stretch of the city. Queen Anne is a close, clean community of young families and singles, popular with maturing hipsters. Eating and entertainment options aren't scarce here, and neither are spectacular views. Queen Anne gets split into North, West, East, and Lower Queen Anne neighborhoods.
Lower Queen Anne was part of pioneer David Denny's 1853 claim. He called it Potlach Meadows then. When a hurricane helped deforest the hill in 1875, people started to build more homes in the heights. A decade later, the Queen Anne architectural style had taken root and the area's name changed. Depending on whether you consider the Downtown adjacent streets to be Lower Queen Anne or Uptown, this is where you'll find the Space Needle and other major Seattle attractions.
The business heart of Queen Anne is Queen Anne Avenue. Along this strip you'll find a fine selection of restaurants and shops, good for a classy meal or a retail romp. You'll also stumble across more than a few places vending unique and odd items that you weren't aware you needed. Lower Queen Anne houses the Experience Music Project, the Pacific Science Center, and the Space Needle. There are over two-dozen parks in Queen Anne, from tiny Kerry Park with it's outsized views to Kinnear Park, offering 14 acres of woodland and fields.
What you'll need to spend on a Queen Anne apartment depends on which section of the neighborhood you rent in. Atop the hill, in North Queen Anne, the average monthly rent creeps up to near $2,000. You can save $500 a month renting a place in Lower or East Queen Anne, however. While this is a neighborhood known for fine homes, it remains popular with renters. They make up close to two-thirds of the residents here.
Getting into town from a Queen Anne rental isn't a bad walk, depending on how far up the hill you live. There are Seattle Metro buses one can hop, and you can also catch the monorail that terminates at Seattle Center, in Lower Queen Anne. Commuting by bike is another popular option.
The Queen Anne Branch of the Seattle Public Library system is on Garfield Street. There's a United States Post Office on 1st Avenue North, in Lower Queen Anne. Seattle Pacific University is in North Queen Anne. City residents elect their mayor and nine city council members at large, i.e. without regard to neighborhood.
Zip codes serving Queen Anne are 98109 and 98119.

[CHAPTER 30] [Page 1] SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS By 1861 the Negro Church in Louisiana was regarded by many devout slaves as "a rock in a weary land and a shelter in the time of storm." The leading denominations--Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, African Methodist, and others--kept the fires of faith burning in the heart of their little flocks during the crucial days of the war when everything seemed in doubt. Many of the slaves associated themselves in their own minds with the "child"en of Irrael" who had been enslaved in the land of the "Gypshuns," and lo! they looked up after the war, and their hour of bondage was ended. It was to their churches that they turned to celebrate this great victory of Right over Might, and to thank God for their deliverance from chains. Negro religious groups throughout the State held services in commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation. When the war ended the various denominations set about to "spread the gospel throughout all the land." Because of its dynamic appeal to Negro masses, and because so many Negroes had been sold into Louisiana from non-Catholic States, that religion soon found itself superseded by the Baptist faith in many sections. This was especially true in the rural sections where the people even boasted in their spirituals: I"m Baptist bred And Baptist born; When I"m dead I"ll be a Baptist gone.

Friendship Quotes, Sayings for friends
Friends, like flowers, give pleasure just by being.
A real friend is like having one more person in your family.
Friendship is born at the moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
- C.S. Lewis
If you wish to have friends, just be one.
Friends. A simple word isn't it? It's uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren't that, they're the people that touch your hearts.
You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They're the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with.
You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs, and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thing in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life. <3
Never mix business and friendship.
Not all you feast with are friend.
Friends are flowers that never fade.
Years from now, I hope we are still in each others lives.
Don't lead, I'll wander off bored. Don't follow, I'll get you lost. Walk beside me and help me cause trouble.
True friendship isn't about being inseparable, it's being separated & nothing changes.
A friend is proud of your achievements, not envious or jealous.
A friend will support you when others try to tear you down.
A true friend can see your tears pouring while others believe the smile you're faking.
Friendship is like a pet.
It must be fed and cared for, otherwise it dies slowly.
Be yourself, and you'll know who your true friends are.
It's so funny how 'friends' forget us when they don't need any more favors.
A real friend does not make time for you, they give you theirs.
The person you would like to watch a movie with is your best buddy.
A SPECIAL friend is hard to FIND,
Hard to LOSE And impossible to FORGET.
TRUE friends are never APART
maybe in DISTANCE
Never pick on me or my friends or you will not know what's coming.
Real friends make you alive when you are with them.
Friends and best friends will stay with you. When you're down. :)
Real friends don't flirt with your ex, your current, or your future maybes! Instead they remind you why your ex is an ex, warn your current that they better not hurt you or else, or tell your future maybe just how lucky they are to have you!
Friends and enemies have a lot in common, you will never know when they will slaughter you.

Stillman Family Restaurants
AvroKO Designed
Chef-Partner Craig Koketsu
Recognized by the New York Times, New York Magazine and New York Observer as one of the best new restaurants, Park Avenue Spring has returned to the Upper East Side of Manhattan, just in time to herald the season's arrival.
The team behind midtown rustic American restaurant Quality Meats collaborated to create Park Avenue Spring. Restaurateur Michael Stillman joins forces with award-winning design firm AvroKO (Public, Stanton Social) on the concept and all aspects of architecture, design, and graphics of the new restaurant.
With the arrival of Park Avenue Spring, the fourth and final seasonal design is revealed. Conceptually, the designers looked abroad for inspiration, imagining the space as a classic English garden with wild and raw vegetation and materials. Deep green and brass wall panels frame the room. The exposed niches are clad in brass and house antique pots filled with oversized, exotic purple floral. Banquettes will be upholstered in dark green and chair backs will have an elegant green and brass thin-striped vertical pattern. The ceiling becomes barrel-vaulted in a smoked laurel burl wood. In the center of the dining room is a modern interpretation of a classic garden's centerpiece with vintage cast wild dog heads and a series of exotic greenery and floral.

We know it's not cheap to maintain your four stroke motor, and we welcome those of you who choose to do it yourself. At Stone and Sons Marine we work on all brands, from Johnson, Yamaha, Suzuki, to Honda. We also have the parts to service those motors. If you don't have time we can always get it in and out fast.
If you choose to do it yourself on your 4 stroke, here are a few things we want you to pay special attention to.
Oil Change - Always change out the filter when doing an oil change. Not doing so could allow you to add to much oil, over filling it. This could cause all kinds of issues from clogging sensors to getting oil in the combusting chamber which could result in rod failure.
As far as which oil to use? We recommend a good synthetic oil, but it does not need to be the manufactures oil. Just don't use the cheap ones, as you get what you pay for. Follow the manufacturer weight recommendations and you should be good. AND DON'T OVER FILL IT!!! trust us…
Fuel Filter- Stone and Sons recommends changing out your water separator once a year, but there are filters on your motor that do need to be changed by a certified technician due to special hose clamps. Depending on use and models we recommend you have a technician take a look at them.
Plugs - Depending on how you run your motor, generally speaking, once a year for the average fishermen is good. There are too many brands to name, so we recommend you get the exact one the manufacture says to. The slightest change effects ignition and some computers will start to compensate for the change, and it could cause more problems down the road. So don't try to reinvent the wheel – use what they tell you to.
VST – Vapor separator tank. These need to be cleaned like you would a carburetor. Soak it down and blow it out. If you fail to maintain the VST you could end up having electric fuel pump damage or fuel restrictions that could starve your motor for gas. Once a year can be a little excessive but we would say you might need to address it bi-annually.
Some of these things can seem a little complicated, some not. We do it everyday and welcome walk-ins. If you feel you have the aptitude to tackle it yourself we can supply you the parts or feel free to allow our highly trained staff to take it off your hands to keep you on the water and not in the shop.
How long should you expect to wait for your boat repairs?
Currently Stone & Sons Marine is offering one to two day service on normal maintenance.
Tune ups / water pumps / oil changes
