Length: 2 days / 1 night
Difficulty: Not Difficult
Bolivia's Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos, originally constructed by Spanish missionaries in the 17th century, offer a fascinating look into Bolivia's complex past. The Misiones Jesuíticas were once self-sufficient communities at the frontier of the Spanish empire in South America. Here, Jesuit settlers converted huge numbers of indigenous peoples to Catholicism and evangelized European culture, art and music.
Today, seven of these missions remain in the region around Santa Cruz de la Sierra. We offer a two day, one night tour of the most impressive of these missions.
- Immerse yourself in haunting hymns in 17th century missions rising from Bolivia's tropical lowlands
- Admire the missions' unique design, construction and art, combining the colonial and indigenous
- Visit some of the finest orchid farms in the world
Day 1:
The Misiones tour departs in the morning from the city Santa Cruz for our first Jesuit Mission, San Javier. San Javier Mission, the first to be built in Bolivia, was founded on a forested ridge here in 1691. This is one of the few original missions that continues to operate. Local communities continue to congregate here, attending Mass and performing the region's distinct baroque hymns.
We spend the morning touring the San Javier museum and church. An imposing structure with thick pillars and intricate woodwork, the church dominates the town's central plaza. Like the other missions in the region, San Javier is an eclectic mix of colonial and indigenous influences.
About an hour's drive from San Javier, we reach the quaint settlement of Concepción. The most charming settlement on the Jesuit Missions circuit, Concepción is known as a laid-back community notable for its impressive cathedral amid the region's lush jungle.
Dinner and sleeping accommodations are provided at a local hotel such as the Hotel Chiquitos, a rustic but tasteful hacienda, where the tour will rest for the night.
Day 2:
After breakfast, we spend the morning touring Concepción, including its famous church. The church is notable for its hand-carved columns, thatched roof, adobe walls, and religious art that incorporates aspects of indigenous culture into biblical scenes.
Concepción has long been known for its baroque music. The museum next to the church houses the mission's musical archives, including 17th and 18th century manuscripts. Here you'll see craftsmen creating intricate instruments by hand, as they have for centuries. In May and June, the Jesuit Missions host the International Baroque Music Festival.
In the afternoon, we head into the countryside, where some 6,000 small farms cultivate 100 varieties of orchid. In this tropical environment, the elegant flowers blossom much of the year, through the best time to go to Concepción is during the orchid festival in October.
Following a tour of an orchid farm, we return to Santa Cruz, with a stop for a swim at Sapocó Lagoon, a large, cool lake that offers a refreshing respite from the heat of the Bolivian jungle.
Included: Bilingual tour guide (Spanish-English), return transfer from your hotel, private transportation during the tour, accomodations at a local hotel and meals as noted.

They say fashion moves in cycles, with trends becoming a rage, declining in popularity and then rising to prominence once again several decades later. However, sometimes technology allows for innovations in fashion that are entirely new, with no bearing in the past. And thats what seems to be happening now. A fashion designer in the UK teamed up with a chemical engineering professor to create real, viable spray-on clothing. All you need to do with Fabrican, as they call it, is spray it on naked skin and voila: you are clothed. Fabricans formula consists of short fabrics held together by polymers and a solvent that renders the fabric into liquid form. Within seconds of spraying it on your skin, the fabric becomes solid. The actual substances used are not very different from what are already present in synthetic clothing, and so they dont pose any health risks. According to the inventors, the characteristics of the clothing, such as strength, texture and flexibility, depend on the type of fibers used in the solutionnatural fibers like wool, cotton, silk and cellulose are available, as are synthetic ones like nylon. And, if you live in cold place, simply spray on more layers to make your clothing thicker.
Now, the possibilities in the fashion industry seem endless, but the spray-on method is so useful that it is being looked at by the UK military and several car makers to meet their needs. The UK military is already working on prototypes for spray-on plaster casts and bandagesthe advantage being that the material is sterile when sprayed. Spray-on clothes may yet be a few years away, but the inventors see smaller items like sprayed towels and napkins reaching the market quite soon.

Website: Juris Winery
Country Location: Austria
"It is not our goal to produce merely good wines. We strive to produce wines with character and style that are well balanced and possess complexity, aging potential, and a certain elegance. We do not desire a flashy or superficial and short-lived effect"
The people. The Juris winery is located in the town of Gols, a place where wine has been the primary source of livelihood for over 2,000 years. Located halfway between Vienna and Budapest along the northern shores of the Nesiedlersee wine district, the Stiegelmar family has been making wine since 1571.
Their underground Günther Cellar, built in 1756, maintains a perfect temperature of 10° C (50° F) ideal for sensitive varieties like Pinot Noir and Saint Laurent. Neither heated, nor cooled, the complex gravity flow system spanning 4 floors, maintains a constant temperature throughout the year. This is Austria's first passive energy wine facility. On the international stage, Georg Stiegelmar was also named "Winemaker of the Year" at the 1995 International Wine and Spirit Competition in London, and was told he possessed "The total command of winemaking" by Robert Mondavi. Axel and his wife Herta carry on this tradition of excellence. Their sons Gregor and Philipp are already showing interest in continuing the family business. In addition to St. Laurent and Pinot Noir, Juris produces excellent Zweigelt, and small amounts of late harvest "amarone" style, and white wine.
The appellation. The large and shallow Neusiedlersee (Lake Neusiedl) is the dominant force dictating the region's climate. During the summers massive amounts of evaporation create a thermal flow pulling dry air from the east across the vineyards, reducing humidity and the risk of mold. Juris only uses estate fruit from their 17 hectares of dry farmed vineyards on the edge of the Parndorfer plateau near Seewinkel. These south oriented pebbly hills are sediment of the Alps were deposited by the receding Pannonian sea. They offer varied exposure and excellent drainage. In the vineyard Axel bubbles with curiosity, plots of experimental clones, rootstocks, trellising methods, and pruning technique grow next to vineyards his grandfather planted. Vineyard treatments are kept minimal and copper or herbacides are never sprayed.
In the cellar. In addition to his family's tradition of winemaking, Axel interned at Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa Valley and in Bordeaux with Count Neipperg at Canon-La-Gaffeliere. Gravity is a governing principle in the winery. Fresh grapes, must, macerating fruit, and fermenting wine can easily be damaged by careless transport. A four story gravity-flow winery reduces the use of pumps by 50 to 70%, unwanted sedimentation, stabilizes color, prevents bottle shock and helps develop elegant, harmonious wines with a silky tannic structure. All varieties are fermented with indigenous yeast in neutral oak (500L) and age anywhere from 6-12 months.
The wines. The Stiegelmars focus on elegance and finesse in their wines that are counted among the best in Austria. The Juris Winery makes two different series of wines, the premium Reserve and the Selection.
The Reserve wines are vinified in new oak barriques in an international style. The Selection wines are vinified in the classical Austrian style. Each series includes both dry whites and reds. Wines from the new vineyards in Hungary near Lake Balaton with their unique climate and terroir are marketed under the name Villa Juris. Noble sweet wines, sparking wines and distillated spirits round out the Juris portfolio.
Wines from vineyards that are under 15 years old are distinguished by their primary fruit character. A few of these wines are matured for a short period, of six to twelve months in used oak barrels so as not to disguise the varietal character of the grapes.
These wines are from old vines at least 15 years old or older. The ratio between roots and aerial parts of the vine changes after youth in favor of the roots. The fruit receives more nutrients from the soil and the wines from older vines are more concentrated and possess more character. Reserve wines profit from longer maturation in small oak barrels. The wines are bottled after 18-24 months in barrique.

3 grape bunches for red wine
3 grape bunches for dessert wine
This accolade was given to only 2 Austrian wineries: the Juris Winery and the Kollwentz Winery, which put them at the top of all three categories in Austria.

BOSTON Italian architect Renzo Piano helped unveil the Isabella Stewart Gardner's new wing to members of the media Wednesday morning.
Writers from outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and the design magazine Dwell were there taking in the airy, four-story wing.
Museum staff showed off the addition with guided tours and a rehearsal in the new state-of-the-art concert hall.
Sitting in the new "Living Room" — with the original museum visible through the windows behind him — Piano said he designed the contemporary building as a counterpoint to Mrs. Gardner's much-loved historic palace.
"It's not about competing, it's about taking the legacy and then doing something that is equally interesting, in your time, one century later," he said, adding that it's also meant to carry on the museum founder's civic mission.
"To make Boston a better place to live, and at the same time to enjoy art. To enjoy music. To enjoy educating people."
The public is invited to visit the new museum next week — for free — from Jan. 19-21.

The squad coached by Michael Dalton took a pair of pitchers' duels to take a 2-0 lead in Butler's Fall World Series.
In game 1, Dalton's squad won 2-0 behind 3.0 strong innings from sophomore lefty Eric Stout. The winning team was supported in relief by Derek Higgins, Bobby Napoleon and Chase Byerly.
Prior to the opener, the Bulldogs had a moment of silence for former Butler pitcher Pat Neshek and his wife Stephanee on the loss of their newborn son, Gehrig John Neshek. Pat is a relief pitcher with the Oakland A's. The team also had a "mass first pitch" ceremony with each mom and dad in the stands throwing out a ceremonial first pitch to their son.
The blue team, coached by Brian Hiscox, scored an unearned run in the 2nd inning of game 2 and led the entire evening. In the bottom of the 6th, freshman Mike Kseniak smacked a two-run, walk-off single to left to give Dalton's team a 2-1 win. The pitching on both sides was strong with both starters, Gunner Johnson and Kevin Lenkman, pitching three innings each. Byerly and Kyle Allen were effective in relief.
The series is best-of-5. Game 3 will be played Wednesday, Oct. 17 after Butler's Fall Break.

Thermal Shrinkage for Cruciate Ligament Injury
The thermal shrinkage procedure involves the application of heat to a stretched but intact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using a specialized thermal probe. The goal of this procedure is to induce shrinkage of the collagen fibers comprising the ACL, causing the ACL to shorten and thereby stabilize the knee joint and reduce joint laxity.
This procedure is carried out by percutaneous or arthroscopic placement of a thermal catheter into the joint. A thermal coagulation generator is utilized to provide the required temperature for collagen shrinkage (between 65°C and 90°C). The probe is moved along the anterior aspect of the ligament in a distal to proximal fashion and to its medial and lateral margins. Following surgery, the leg is immobilized and kept non-weight-bearing for a period of 3 weeks. At 3 weeks, patients undergo a repeat KT 1000 measurement before being placed into a custom-made ACL derotation brace. They begin rehabilitation exercises consisting of progressive weight-bearing and closed chain exercises. At 3 months, patients can usually begin running on a flat surface and are released to full unrestricted exercise at 6 months (Naseef et al., 1997; Vangsness et al., 1997; Thabit, 1998; Fanton and Khan, 2001).
Thermal Shrinkage for Cruciate Ligament Injury is considered investigational.
Investigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.

The picture says a thousand words, in Texan that is. Cruising the south central Texas ICW is a wonder of wildlife and wild sights. Where else can you see an oil rig out in the marsh and a Texas Longhorn on the beach in the same hour? (To see the wildlife click on the Gallery!) We are currently docked--for free--in yet another failed housing development on a grand scale. Somebody lost a LOT of $$ here. But it is placed conveniently between Matagorda Harbor Marina (where we docked last night...sort of a fish camp with State Park like amenities) and Port Aransas/Corpus Christi.
Tomorrow we will try to beat the next front and arrive in Port A, as the locals call it, for some R & R and laundry. We are having fun, laughing a lot and swaping tales with each other. Don's mom is truly enjoying herself and has been very helpful with all the work involved in cruising.
We left Waterford Harbor in League City, TX at 12:30pm in a flurry of packing everything on board. We have never left in such a state of disorganization. But we wanted to beat the arrival of a front expected later last night so we blasted out of there.
Betty, Don's stepmom, is accompanying us on the southern-Texas-coast-portion of the trip. For those of you who have not been following along up until now, Don had a burning desire to sail to Brownsville before we turn around and head east toward the Caribbean . He wants to be able to say we have gone all the way from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. So we are off....and thrilled to be moving again.
We went all of 30 nautical miles yesterday and are snugged in at Harborwalk Marina till it stops blowing like stink and the water comes back in the ICW. Then we head south.
We look forward to sharing our adventure with you. Feel free to pass along the link to others who may enjoy keeping up with us.
Love, Terry
Correct----it is a Perfect Downwind Pole! We have completed the installation of our new Continous Line Furler System! It required fabricating a new mast plate, new deck fitting, new light air sail, new bow attachment, and new temporary bowsprit. Now it would be nice if we could just go into a big box Marine Chandlery and select one of those and 2 of these, etc. But, all but one of the parts was custom built. It took a lot of fittings, fabricating stainless steel and numerous trips up the mast. Which part was NOT custom made? You guessed it --- the pole that begins with "P". Perfect Downwind Pole.
The way all these pieces come together is that when the wind is light and from behind the beam we can keep the boat moving and stabilized WITHOUT using the iron jenny (diesel engine). Our rationale for buying this really cool setup is that we think the cost of fuel will continue to rise and we hope it will be better in the long run to sail as much as possible, not motor.
Now if we could just get away from the dock and deploy it! Three weeks and counting till departure! EEEK!
Imagine that. We have been working long hours and not exactly stopping to smell the roses. But, the aft cabin cabinets are pretty much complete!! It almost took a trip to the ER to get them near completion.....Don was taking the finished bulkhead off the boat for a fitting of the door frames, tripped, fell onto the wood bulkhead, hurt his side and cracked the wood in two. He is recovering slowly but insisted on finishing the installation. The cabinets are beautiful and are such an improvement over the plastic tubs, don't you think?
As you know, boat projects are never ending. Hope you're not waiting to get them all completed before you get back out there ...
By the way, Faucett's is no longer by EGO Alley and has moved over near the evil empire (West Marine) in Eastport ...
The haulout went well, the hull is smooth as a baby's bottom again and there were no blisters. So life is good again--till the next haulout in about 2 years.
So now the boat is back to being a construction zone again. Among MANY other projects, (kind of at the last minute) we decided to build cabinets for our aft cabin. For 6 1/2 years we have kept our clothes in plastic tubs on the shelves that were on the boat when we bought it. So, Don cut out the Teak plywood, we bought louvered doors and fixtures and I am varnishing the wood. Some assembly required!
So hopefully the next picture I post will be of the finished cabinets!
We can't believe a month has gone by (and I didn't post anything!). We have been running around crazily with that deer-in-the-headlights look. Definitely not enough hours in the day, especially when those days are filled with distractions.
We hauled 'Heart' out this week to get her biennial bottom job---scrape the old paint off and apply new. It should hold us for about 2 years. And who knows where we will be then. It is always a bit stressful as your 'home' is yanked out of the water: will the straps hold or will she crash back into the water, does the lift driver know what he is doing in placing the straps under her belly, are the straps in the right place, will we see dreaded blisters in her hull?
Good news--the driver knew what he was doing and there were no blisters! Now, we can't wait to move back on her at the end of the week. Especially the cats!!

One of my most memorable cartoon characters isn't Mickey Mouse, Daffy Duck or even Sponge Bob Square Pants. I'm not saying he's my favorite, (that would be the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote) but the professor in "Futurama," Hubert J. Farnsworth, always says to the other characters, "Good news, everyone!"
But it never turns out to be good news in the end.
That's a roundabout way of saying I hope a recent business opening in Rifle is indeed good news, the first of many good news stories to tell in the Citizen Telegram this year.
Perhaps some new life was given to the former Columbine Market space with the arrival of the New Year. Vacant for eight years, the Farm Fresh Cafe and Eagle Springs Meats butcher shop began operating in part of that big building.
They're what is hoped to be the first of several tenants, including local vendors and hobbyists who wish to show off and, maybe, sell some of their handcrafted items.
As Toby Guccini, who oversees the Eagle Springs Organic farm and ranch outside Silt and what is being called the Eagle Springs Center in Rifle, told me, plans for the property are designed to offer something different. And who doesn't want a little different every now and then?
Eventually, perhaps a steakhouse will be built near the old grocery store, Guccini said.
There is also a remodeling project under way near the Citizen Telegram office for a barbecued ribs restaurant in Remmington Square, separate from the Eagle Springs Center. We'll tell you about that one when it's ready, too.
Any new business deserves some recognition in times like these. And they're especially welcome as the city's sales tax revenue dropped in the last three quarters of 2012. A year-end report is due to be presented to Rifle City Council in the near future to help show just what the city's financial picture looks like.
I'll be interested in that in light of a recent news release from the Colorado Municipal League, touting a recent survey that found most of the state's towns and cities are doing better than others across the nation in terms of revenue. It'll be interesting to see if Rifle is among them.
So there's some more potential "good news, everyone!" to tell you about. I'm just hoping like heck that this year we'll start to get things back on track.

Cowing pledged the data will be "semi-live," depending on how much processing it will take for the data to be useable after being picked up by the dish. Already, the spacecraft's magnetometer has picked up disturbances in space that can be linked back to solar activity.
The science campaign is slated to begin Aug. 10, when ISEE-3 swings by the moon, and will continue for as much of its orbit as can be heard from Earth. ISEE-3 will travel in a 300-day orbit around the sun, but the final coordinates are still being determined.
PHOTOS: Top 10 Space Robot 'Selfies'
Cowing added that the group will publicize the results of the science with external entities, and those partnerships will be announced shortly.
Funding a Volunteer Space Mission
As for the $160,000 raised through RocketHub, Cowing said it's just about gone. The money went to renting time on NASA's Deep Space Network of dishes, flying four people to the giant Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico for a week to set up communications, and other miscellaneous costs.
NEWS: Satellite Swarm Maps Earth's Magnetic Field
There are perhaps a couple of more transmission sessions set up to talk with ISEE-3 to configure it for science, then the group will switch to more listening to keep costs lower. The group has authorization from NASA under a Space Act Agreement to do communications, which Cowing expects will be kept open as need arises.
But it's the citizen science that will be the focus from now, which Cowing said will allow others to have more "hands-on" participation in space exploration. "That potential is actually the most important thing to result from this," he said, adding he expects to operate the spacecraft for at least five to 10 years if all of its systems stay healthy.

A Functional & Context Oriented way to write JavaScript
Sugarless is a small utility library that gives you a powerful new way to think and organize your JavaScript programs. With Sugarless, you can organize your program into contexts and use functions to apply behaviour.
// Common way var output = truncatetrimsanitizeuser_input 200 // Sugarless way var output = Sugarlessuser_input sanitize trim truncate "" 200 ;
Context can be any JavaScript object (host or user-defined) or a primitive value (primitive values will be converted to objects).
All functions in a given context are invoked with
this value set to the context.
When evaluating a context queue, return value of one function will be passed on to the next function in the queue as the first argument. Last function's return value will be the final result.
var $_ = Sugarless; //let's define a shorthand var output = $_ title: "The Lord of the Rings" sold_copies: 150000000 thisauthor = "J.R.R.Tolkien" // this refers to the context return thissold_copies > 100000 ? "bestseller" : "average" // passes the result to the next function return thistitle + " by " + thisauthor + " is a " + type // returned as the final result ; console.logoutput; // The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.Tolkien is a bestseller
You can provide a list of default arguments to be passed on to a function.
Note that the return value (or callback) of the previous function will override the default arguments. If you want to avoid this behaviour you can set the option
noreturn: true for the context.
var return stem || this + " " + sub var output = $_"This" concat null "is" // forces to use context as the stem concat "" "a" // pass in a placeholder argument for stem concat "" "sentence" ; console.logoutput; // This is a sentence
What if the functions in the queue runs asynchronously? One way to handle asynchronous flow is to use
sugarless.next() method. Calling it will halt the sequential evaluation of the context queue and returns the next function in the queue. You can use the function returned, as a callback for an asynchronous call.
$_{} setTimeout$_thisnext 60 console.log"second function" console.log"third function" ;
Also, you can invoke several asynchronous functions parallely and then use an
after callback to do a final computation under the context. You can mark the completion of a asynchronous function with
$_{} console.log'Finished running all functions' var self = this; setTimeout $_selfdone 180 var self = this; setTimeout $_selfdone 20 var self = this; setTimeout $_selfdone 60 ;
sugarless.recurse() you can recursively call the current function.
By returning or calling
sugarless.done() you can end recursion and move on to the next function in the queue.
var ifparamslength thispushparamsshift; $_thisrecurseparams; else $_thisdone; ; $_ copy_array "one" "two" "three" console.logthis; ;
sugarless.clear() will clear the remaining functions in the queue and exit the context with the result of the current function.
$_{} console.log"This will be printed."; iftrue $_thisclear; console.log"This will not be printed."; ;
sugarless.set() you can set properties for the current context. Using
sugarless.get() you can retrive previously set properties.
$_{} $_thisset'score' 75; console.log $_thisget'score' ; // 75 ;
If the context is null or undefined, Sugarless will return null without executing any function in the context queue.
var awesome_value = $_null return this + " is awesome" ; console.logawesome_value; // null
You can pass an optional
fallback context (a function or an object) in case of default context is undefined or null.
var awesome_value = $_null return "simple" return this + " is awesome" ; console.logawesome_value; //simple is awesome
You can provide callbacks to
before and
after the context queue. Useful when you want to write wrappers with Sugarless.
var user_name = "John"; var user_age = 25 $_user_name return name: this //returns a new object wrapping the context console.logobjname + " is " + objage + " old."; objage = user_age; return obj; console.logobjname; $_thisdoneobj; ;
after callback will only invoke if all functions in the given context finish execution. Returning a value will automatically marks a function as executed. If a function returns nothing, you need to explicitly call
sugarless.done() to mark the function as executed.
You can provide an optional
error function to handle exceptions that occurs in context queue.
$_{} console.log"An error occurred." throw "Bad Error"; ;
If you want to invoke a member function of context's object (or available in it's prototype chain), you can use the shorthand function
Sugarless.invoke. It takes the member function to be evaluated as a string and any number of arguments, which will be passed to the member function.
var magnitude = name: "Magnitude" college: "Greendale CC" return "POP! POP!" ; $_magnitude $_invoke "speak" console.logthisname + " says " + quote; // Magnitude says POP! POP! ;
You can install Sugarless via NPM.
npm install sugarless
Alternatively, you can download Sugarless from here - https://github.com/laktek/SugarlessJS/downloads Extract the files and copy 'minified/sugarless.min.js' to your project.
Why the name Sugarless?
Because it won't use a sugar coating to hide the original problem from you.
_Actually, I coded the initial concept of this while listening to this catchy tune :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj2n-xrwOo0 _
Can I use Sugarless with NodeJS?
Yes. Sugarless is available as an NPM package. Also, check the sample node.js server written using Sugarless in examples.
How large is Sugarless? Does it have any dependencies?
Sugarless is a fairly small, self-contained library. The minified version is 2.64KB (1.04KB gzipped).
Before getting started with Sugarless I want to getter bettet grip with Functional programming concepts in JavaScript. From where should I start?
Eloquent JavaScript's chapter on Functional Programming is pretty comprehensive, a recommended read - http://eloquentjavascript.net/chapter6.html
Another good read is "Understanding JavaScript Function Invocation and 'this'" by Yehuda Katz - http://yehudakatz.com/2011/08/11/understanding-javascript-function-invocation-and-this/

Re: Subnet question [7:60711] posted 01/09/2003
Surely there are a lot of solutions; which I'd do is: Define a different VLAN for each floor. Connect the catalysts in each floor with trunk interfaces (802.1q) Connect a Fast or Giga ethernet interface from a router to one of the switches. You must setup that interface (both on the router an on the switch side) as DOT1Q. On the router you can do it with the following config: -- Note: VLAN 101 - Floor 1 VLAN 102 - Floor 2 VLAN 103 - Floor 3 interface fastethernet 0/0 (for example) full-duplex (Duplex full?) speed 100 no ip address interface fastethernet 0/0.101 encap dot1q 101 ip address 10.100.1.254 255.255.255.0 interface fastethernet 0/0.102 encap dot1q 102 ip address 10.100.2.254 255.255.255.0 interface fastethernet 0/0.103 encap dot1q 103 ip address 10.100.3.254 255.255.255.0 If you tell us which switches are you using (cat or IOS based) I can put you a config for that; assuming they are IOS, it is more or less: --- Switch on floor 1: interface FastEthernet0/1 switchport access vlan 101 switchport mode access duplex full speed 100 interface FastEthernet0/2 switchport access vlan 101 switchport mode access duplex full speed 100 ....... ! Trunk to floor 2 interface FastEthernet0/10 switchport mode trunk duplex full speed 100 .............. Switch on floor 2: interface FastEthernet0/1 switchport access vlan 102 switchport mode access duplex full speed 100 interface FastEthernet0/2 switchport access vlan 102 switchport mode access duplex full speed 100 ....... ! Trunk to floor 1 interface FastEthernet0/10 switchport mode trunk duplex full speed 100 !

Villa agree Young transfer to Manchester United
The 25-year-old England international passed a medical in Manchester this week and has agreed a five-year contract.
Villa secured Young from Watford in January 2007 and he went on to make 157 Premier League appearances, scoring 30 goals.
He made 190 appearances in all competitions and scored 38 goals.
"Ashley has made a terrific contribution for Villa over the past four-and-a-half seasons and everyone at the club wishes him the best for the future," said Villa manager Alex McLeish.
"He has become an important player in the England team during that time and I'm sure he will be looking forward to this new challenge."
It seemed a hefty outlay when Villa paid Watford a reported initial £8m for the relatively unproven Young during the January 2007 transfer window, but within 12 months it began to look an astute piece of business.
Despite scoring on his debut in a 3-1 defeat at Newcastle, Young was only moderately successfully during his first few months in claret and blue but from then on he made a massive impact.
Having switched from the role of striker to wide midfielder shortly after his arrival, Young was a regular in the side throughout his first full season, missing only one league match (when he was suspended) and scoring nine goals.
Whether he operated as a winger or in a free role just behind the strikers, he was a constant threat to opposition defences and his outstanding form earned him his first England cap in November 2007.
But it was during the 2008-09 campaign that he really blossomed, and apart from regular England selections he collected three prestigious awards.
He was voted Barclays Player of the Month for both September and December (giving him an unprecedented three monthly awards within the calendar year) and was later acclaimed PFA Young Player of the Year.
There was an air of anticipation among Villa fans whenever he was in possession of the ball, and statistics revealed that he led the way for Premier League wide players in terms of goals, assists and crosses.
The highlight of a season in which he missed only two league games was undoubtedly his dramatic stoppage time winner against Everton at Goodison Park, just seconds after the home side had equalised.
It was his second goal of the game and he again finished the season with nine, two of them in cup-ties.
His performances in 2009-10 were terrific and he continued the impressive form he had shown in the previous campaign.
His highlights were scoring a penalty at Anfield in the 3-1 win over Liverpool, producing the centre for Gabby Agbonlahor's winning goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford and bagging the final goal in the incredible 6-4 second leg semi-final win over Blackburn in the Carling Cup.
Last term he operated mainly as a foil for the central striker but later switched back to the wing, impressing in the final weeks as Villa marched up to ninth in the top-flight table.

Waffled Pillsbury Cinnamon Buns
Thanks to a reader who fell in love with Pinterest like me, I discovered the foodie idea of waffling cinnamon buns. The pin originally came from Simply Designing and I was desperate for an economical and easy sweet brunch treat.
I was out of everything and buying all the components to make cinnamon buns for the weekend only to waffle them would both be heavy and expensive.
BTW, I could not wait for my new cutting board to arrive. I made my own mini version of it!
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls were on sale. I could get everything I needed, including the icing, for only $2 and it would not add a ton of weight to my backpack for my walk home.
The hard part? Opening the damn tube! I have bought their products before and they usually pop right open but not this one. I hit it all over my kitchen... Nothing. Luckily Reg was home at the time!
It was perfect! The package came with eight rolls so Reg and I could have four each. The icing was crazy-hard so I nuked it for around 15 seconds to make it pourable.
I sprayed my waffle iron with canola oil after heating it up and put one bun per spot. I closed the hatch and waited two minutes.
The turned out beautiful golden brown and very crunchy! I think next time I will only waffle them for a minute, I like mine to be a bit less hard.
I drizzled with syrup and the icing and wow, what a treat for brunch! So easy and affordable. Even though our budget was super tight and my pantry was bare, this made me feel like a million bucks.
Yes, I will definitely try this technique with my favourite cinnamon buns recipe and I know they will be even better (and probably a lot bigger). Still, this was a fun and simple foodie experiment that I can wholeheartedly recommend for those who want a little extra something for breakfast with minimal cost and effort.
A totally cool and successful idea. Pinterest rocks!

The $ sign in a cell reference affects only one thing: It tells
Excel how to treat your references when you copy the cell.
If a dollar sign
precedes a row number or column letter, the row or column doesn't change
when you copy it. Otherwise, it does change.
To illustrate, suppose the following formulas are in cell D3 and you
copy them to cell E4. Here are the results in each case:
That is, the $ sign "anchors" a row number or column letter when you
copy it.
Here's an easy way to set the $ sign combination you want: Type a
reference like =B3 in your formula bar and then tap the F4 key. Each time you hit F4, Excel
cycles to another option. To illustrate:
You also asked about a reference to an entire row. To reference one
or more entire rows or columns, refer only to the row number(s) or
column letter(s). Examples:
(Keep in mind that these are relative addresses. So add $ signs if
you want them to be absolute references.)
Finally, to sum discontiguous rows or columns, that is,
separate areas, differentiate each group
with a comma.
To illustrate, this formula sums row 11 and rows 13 through 22:
And this formula sums column K and columns M through P:
Hope this helps.

I would say the RE will hold up very well in cooler climes (be it rain as well), because we in INDIA do really long rides in tempratures above 100* F without any problems.The trick is to ride the bike's torque curve where she is happiest all day long, rather than its power curve, which puts a lot of pressure on its hand built engine.cheers.
Scott Oilers can mke a mess if you don't set them right. From all my reading, DID brand chains are about the best in the industry because they are made to the tightest tolerances.
Chains don't stretch. Ok, not don't pull out the shotgun yet, hear me out."Chain Stretch" is a misnomer often used to describe the condition where the chain gets longer. What is really happening is that when the chain is made it is a series of links. pins, and sometimes rollers. There has to be a certain amount of play between the link plates and the pins to allow them to flex. For the sake of discussion lets say a new chain out of the box has a half a thousandths clearance. (Read that .0005.) As the chain is first used the initial wear within the pin and link area is significant (like breaking in a motor) so after a few hours of operation the clearance is now a thousandths. (.001) So you take that newly created clearance and add it up times the number of links (pitches) in the chain and you have a new length. So if you have 110 links and you create another thou per link you have added 110 x .001 =.110. Just under an eighth of an inch to the chain length. That is why you always re-check your chain and might make an adjustment within a relevantly few miles of a new install.Now give me another minute...An eighth of an inch don't sound like much,But now lets talk about chain lube. I know there are all kinds of new lubes on the market, dry lubes an such that are great at keeping your bike cleaner. However experience tells me that the primary job of a chain lubricant is to make parts slippery, right. Nope, it has an equally important function of flushing out the debris and dirt that is picked up as the chain goes 'round and does its work. IMHO, if there is not any oil leaving the sprockets and flying over the rear rim and the engine cases then there is no way it is flushing out the debris. Sooo, if the debris is staying inside the chain it is irritating the space betwixt the pin and link plate. Unlike an Oyster that creates a gem in an irritated space, that dirt will works its way around and before long that little .001 space now gets larger and larger. So now it us up to .002. 110 links x .002 = .220. Darn near a quarter inch. Little more dirt, little more time and you have a chain that is beyond it useful pitch because the distance between the pins has increased. Now that the chain is out of spec. it starts to eat at the sprockets. The radius of the inside of the sprocket pitch is machined to precisely fit the bushing or roller that is covering the chain pin. So as the distance 'tween pins increased it wears on the side of the sprocket.Wax based and grease based chain lubes are excellent in an environment where dirt and temperature are not an issue. Like running a conveyor in an air conditioned factory. The work is steady, the temperature is stable and the chain stays clean.Our chains are in the worst environment they can be in, dirt, heat, different loads at different times and the constant pull of over and under tension based on suspension travel. Even the load of one passenger vs two, or adding a sidecar.Another enemy of the chain is heat. The running temperature of a chain ideally should not exceed 160 degrees F Above that, chain lubricant starts to thin, and the chances of it seeping out past the O-rings increase; eventually the film strength drops, don't forget the huge amount of centrifugal force as that chain whips around the end of the sprockets. Even the cheapest chain without O-rings will last a surprising amount of time with proper care, meticulous adjustment and oiling at 350-mile intervals.The average 110 link chain contains over 400 precisely machined components, well OK, some of the are stamped, but the stamping dies are incredibly precise and the tolerance of the stampings is incredibly high.So if you want good chain life, use a good lube, use it generously and often. It costs less than chains. And tension it correctly. Chain too tight is worse than a chain too loose, especially in the first 350 miles.
Thanks Scott.So is that a conventional chain on the UCE bikes? Pardon my ignorance but I hadn't got to Chains yet.......
Yup, just all metal. The alternatives are O-ring and X-ring. These have little seals on every little pin that keep the grease in and the gunk out. With poor chain maintenance habits these tend to last much longer. Even with good habits, they tend to last a little longer. They are wider though to fit the seals and I think I rad somewhere on this forum that there's not enough room for one on and RE Anyway, here's some reading:http://www.quality-cycle.com/truth_about_motorcycle_chains.htmBest comprehensive info on chains I've found. Forgive me if it repeats a lot of what's in the previous post, I didn't read the whole thing.Scott
Didn't realise the Wurth dry lube was more suited to O link chains.

An effort that's been going on for years is Yakima's permission slip system. You can give the OK for the city to clean up your property whenever it gets tagged. KIMA looks at how well it's working.
Brad Nieman owns Dependable Ladder and Garage. His business gets tagged about twice a month.
"We've been hit almost on every side of our property," he said.
Brad says the graffiti is discouraging and worries what customers think.
"They feel like the area's just not safe for them to come by and do business with us, or even other businesses around us."
Brad contacted Yakima's Office of Neighborhood Development Services to get rid of it. They did, and then had him fill out a permission slip that lets the city remove graffiti whenever it happens - no formal complaint required.
You can pick up a permission slip from the Office of Neighborhood Development Services. Fill it out and submit it back to them.
Or, you can fill out the form online on the city's website. Enter your address and zip code. Let the city know whether you want them to come over and over or just once. Then, decide whether you'll supply the paint or the city should bring it own. Finally, enter your name or the name of your business, and click "Submit."
The system works for Brad. But, it took Brad making the first move to ask for help. Neighborhood Development won't go door to door to get people enrolled.
"We'd need a lot more manpower," said Neighborhood Development Services Supervisor Orville Otto. "This office right now, we run with eight people."
More money could be used to advertise the program, but that wouldn't solve the problem of hard-to-reach property owners who live out of town.
The department says the slips are vital because the graffiti is spreading.
"It has been spreading throughout Yakima," said Otto. "It's even out in West Valley now."
Right now, the city says hundreds have given permission - a far cry from what's needed.
If you can't pick up a form in person or access it online, the city will bring one to you. Call the Office of Neighborhood Development Services for help.

Lenny Wilkens, former Sonics player, coach and executive: "The report that Chris Hansen and his group has purchased the Sacramento Kings, that's great news.
"I always felt Seattle deserved a team. I was disappointed when the team left. I think Seattle has proved it could support professional basketball. The team had a rich history. So to see that there's a chance we're going to have a team again, that's great."
Did he think the deal would come together this quickly: "Not really. I wasn't sure. People were talking, but you never know how long it's going to take or what. It's probably a little sooner than I thought."
Wally Walker, former Sonics player and executive: "The understatement of the year, it's fantastic news. It's a big step, but we'll leave the Champagne in the bottle. We still got some hurdles to clear."

On Chris Hansen: "Chris has taken the initiative and navigated very difficult waters. He gets enormous credit as he will and should."
Xavier McDaniel, former Sonics player: "I'm happy that a team is coming to Seattle. I wish that it wouldn't be at the expense of Sacramento losing a team. I was hoping that they would just get a franchise from the NBA, an expansion team.
On it happening this quickly: "I knew it would happen. It was a matter of time and it didn't take long. I know (Sacramento mayor) Kevin Johnson is still trying to find someone in Sacramento to keep that team there. But you know the league is going to approve the sale (to Hansen).
What did you think when the team left: "Five years ago, I felt really bad. That's why I wanted to come out and try to help save the Sonics and give everything I had because I didn't like how Clay Bennett bought the team, then acted like he was going to stay in Seattle before moving to Oklahoma City.
"You've got a lot of teams that don't do very well at the game and I felt like Seattle does very well supporting the Sonics. You don't take a product from some place that's very supportive and able to back the team."
On the Oklahoma City Thunder: "I get a lot of people saying Kevin Durant broke your record, but I never played in Oklahoma. That's always my response. I'm a Seattle SuperSonic at heart. I'm a Sonic until I die. It just will never be Oklahoma for me. I root for the fans in Seattle. As long as they say SuperSonics, I'm happy."
Brian Robinson, co-founder of Save Our Sonics group: "I'm just thankful that we have Chris Hansen willing to take it this far. Few people understand how much effort it's taken to get here and the guy has really been a champion for us."
On the challenges remaining: "There are definitely some hurdles, but I think Chris is in the driver's seat now. There's a lot of reasons for optimism, too."

Payback from Solar Thermal
Thinking of Investing in Solar?
Solar technology has become more widespread in the United Kingdom in the last 5 years. A greater understanding of the environmental benefits of the technology is one of reasons why there has been a greater uptake of solar energy systems. However, another major reason for their uptake is largely due to the payback reward systems launched by the British government. Up until March 2012, when the rates were lowered, solar panel owners, in particular, were heavily rewarded for the installation of these systems through Feed In Tariff payments. An average domestic 2kW system could then earn its owner over £1,000 a year find out the latest annual return for solar panels and how much the Feed in Tariff will financially benefit for you.
How does Solar Thermal Work?
In layman's terms, solar thermal systems use heat from the sun to heat water which can then be used around the home. Panels, known as collectors, are installed on the roof of a property and these, as the name suggests, collect heat emitted from the sun. This energy is then used to heat water which is stored in a water cylinder. The water can then be used around the home as it would with conventional hot water systems. An immersion heater is used as back up to heat the water at night or when the sun is not powerful enough to heat the water alone.
How much Money can Solar Thermal Systems Save?
Average solar thermal systems cost just under £5,000 to install but the savings are modest to say the least. It is estimated that a solar thermal system will save between £60 and £90 a year. This means it would take over 50 years for the solar thermal system to pay for itself. The main problem is that, whilst the thermal system may be able to provide all of your hot water in summer, it is unlikely to provide you very much in the winter. Indeed, solar thermal systems are estimated to provide at most 60% of your hot water annually. Some estimates claim the more realistic figure is nearer 40%. It seems that while solar thermal systems may have environmental benefits, their financial ones are not nearly so advantageous.
Government Payback Schemes - The Renewable Heat Incentive
In contrast to solar thermal systems, solar panel installation has seen a sharp increase in the last few years. Solar panels themselves actually save around the same amount of money a year as solar thermal systems, so why have the panels taken off so well? The answer is simple - The Feed In Tariff Scheme. As stated earlier, this scheme allowed for solar panel owners to make in excess of £1,000 a year tax free profit from the panels. This meant the initial financial outlay of the panels could be paid off within a decade.
Although the payments have been cut by half in recent months, a substantial profit can still be made over the 25 years that the scheme is due to run for. Solar thermal systems do not qualify for the tariff. However, there is some hope for the future with the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme. Launched in 2011, this scheme offered help with installation cost of renewable heat systems. Solar thermal owners could apply for £300 towards their installation costs. However, whilst this is no doubt a help, it is dwarfed by the payments offered by the Feed In Tariff scheme.
Solar Thermal - The Future
There is hope of more financial help from the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme in the near future. The Department for Energy and Climate Change has confirmed that a second phase of the scheme will be launched in the summer of 2013. It is widely believed that this phase will reward solar thermal system owners with quarterly payments based on the amount of energy they generate. Like the Feed In Tariff scheme, it appears that the payments will depend on the type and size of the system. At this point it has not been announced how much these payments will be.
It seems the success of solar thermal technology in this country will depend on how generous the Renewable Heat Incentive will be. A disappointing outcome may mean the solar thermal energy system is deemed as expensive and unnecessary even to those who are sympathetic towards environmentalist views.

zizou, my first guess would be weight distribution, before aero spokes and wind depth creating turbulence. are you further forward on your track bike? steeper seat tube angle?
also, some people attribute rear-wheel-skip in a sprint to an uneven pedal stroke. you push down but when your crank is at 6, if you don't pull up in time - if you're just the slightest bit out of sequence - then you wind up pushing down, effectively lifting your body somewhat (as if you were starting to stand up - micro movement) and then when you do lift back up, you lift your rear wheel a tiny bit.

Lifting the veil
Movies | The ugliness of disease and sin is the backdrop for Painted Veil's beauty
Amid the sweeping beauty of the 1920s Chinese countryside, myriads of Chinese villagers took their last breaths in squalor, victims of the ravages of disease and abject poverty. In The Painted Veil, a sophisticated British couple that travels to China's remote interior to fight cholera suffers from the ravages of a different disease: their own sin. The story that unfolds presents a painful study in the consequences of bitterness and selfishness and offers a glimpse of the redemption found in looking outside oneself.
The film opens as the serious Dr. Walter Fane (Edward Norton) hastily marries shallow Kitty (Naomi Watts), who wants to escape her life in England. Walter whisks Kitty off to China, where he works as a bacteriologist, but neither finds married life in Shanghai what they expect.
When Kitty seeks to relieve her boredom with an ugly affair, Walter demands she accompany him to a remote, cholera-ridden village or be ruined with a shameful divorce. In a dangerous region that most recognize as "no place for a woman," Walter spends his days tirelessly attending dying patients in miserable conditions, and his nights in a miserable marriage he barely acknowledges.
Kitty scoffs at her husband and pines for her old life, including her adulterous relationship, but slowly awakens to the stench of disease and the reality of other people's pain. Only when the couple enters into the depth of suffering around them are they able to see the suffering they've caused one another.
Norton and Watts are exceptionally well cast for the complicated lead roles. The film (rated PG-13 for sexuality, partial nudity, brief drug use, and some disturbing images) is also beautifully shot, with magnificent views of the Chinese countryside, and won a Golden Globe for best original score. But it's the ugliness of disease and sin that provides the backdrop for the movie's real beauty: a striking demonstration that true love requires self-denial, not self-vindication.

While many people enjoy fast-food hamburgers and fries, 17-year-old Emma Forsythe was disappointed to find that American "chips were stale" compared with what she is accustomed to back home.
Forsythe is a foreign-exchange student from Newtownabbey, Ireland -- one of four students visiting Gilbert from Ireland and Leshan, China, for three weeks this summer as part of the Gilbert Sister Cities program's student-exchange effort.
Gilbert Sister Cities is a non-profit organization that began in June 1995. With the help of fundraisers and donations, the foreign-exchange program allows students to spend three weeks abroad with host families virtually free of charge.
"This exchange program is one way of bringing the world together," said Suzanne Lunt, who chairs the program. "It's really meaningful for people to get to know each other's cultures and families and see that although there are a lot of differences, there are a lot of similarities."
Gilbert students applied for the program last September in a process Highland High School student Kellen Law, 18, described as "pretty intense" but "fun."
The application procedure consisted of an essay, letters of recommendation, interviews and events to determine applicants' social skills.
Students were notified about their acceptance last November and were paired with foreign-exchange students whom they communicate with via e-mail and Facebook before the summer.
Although the exchange students have only been in Gilbert one week, they have already enjoyed activities such as a barbecue with the mayor, touring local high schools, tubing on the Salt River and going to the Grand Canyon.
They have discovered a variety of foods they never tried before, such as burritos, chips and salsa, pizza from Oregano's and even Twinkies.
The exchange students have become fond of a variety of differences between their country and America, such as Arizona's extreme heat and laid-back high schools.
Forsythe said American students compare her Irish education to Hogwarts in "Harry Potter" because school uniforms are required and many driving restrictions are imposed on students.
The disparities are even greater in China, where 16-year-old Xu Yike attends class from 7:25 a.m. until 9 p.m. Although he goes to boarding school, Yike will be home this summer and is excited to show Law one of Leshan's bragging points -- the largest stone Buddha statue in the world.
Gilbert students plan on taking the exchange students to Utah, California and Disneyland in the coming weeks before they go abroad. They will stay with their host families for three weeks and return to Gilbert shortly before school starts next month.
"I'm really excited to learn the history and just really get to know the people," Highland High School student Malea Lunt, 17, said. "I'm excited to go down to Dublin for a few days and go see a soccer game ... well, a football game."

Following up on David's prior post on iPad apps, I wanted to highlight an exciting new app. It comes from two of my favorite legal information organizations: CALI, the Center for Computer Assisted Legal Instruction (http://www.cali.org/) and the Legal Information Institute (http://www.law.cornell.edu/). Everyone loves the pocket copies of the Federal Rules printed by Lexis and Westlaw for carrying to class, but now you can take a copy of the Federal Rules with you wherever you go– CALI and LII have created eBook versions of the Federal Rules of Evidence, Criminal Procedure, and Civil Procedure.
There are both epub and mobi versions of the books, so they can be read on Nook, Kindle, iPad, iPhone, and any other device that supports the epub format. Best of all, they're free (though a donation to LII is suggested). You can find and download them at http://elangdell.cali.org/content/federal-rules-ebooks-legal-information-institute.
Have a great Fall Break and Happy Outlining!
