Question by Angela Redwine on 1/13/2012 - 11:36 am
"These skis would not be a good choice for a beginner, they are 85mm in waist, a beginner skier would prefer around 72mm in waist so that the ski turns easier. The Blizzard Viva 7.0 IQ Ski System (Women's) would be a better fit and it includes the binding so it just makes things easier. The sizing depends also on your weight but a 150cm would be a great start."

Bass: Corporations aren't people
New Hampshire Rep. Charlie Bass crosses Mitt Romney and says that corporations aren't people.
The Boston Globe picks up the exchange during a Nashua town hall:
At a town hall in Nashua on Saturday, a questioner asked Bass to weigh in on whether corporations are people. "I'm going to pose a straw man," the man asked, according to a video of the event. "The question is what percentage of Americans pay no corporate income tax. Is Exxon Mobil a person? Do you believe that?"
Bass replied, "To answer your question, the way you asked it, I don't believe that companies are people." He then moved on to the next question.

Soon to debut: 'Strib TV'
Waiting with bated breath to see your favorite scribe amble across your computer screen? Strib management hopes so, since in these days of shrinking staffs and slumping revenues, there's always room for ... klieg lights!
According to a memo from Editor Nancy Barnes, the company is building a "standup TV studio" for a project dubbed, in classic 425 Portland style, "Strib TV." (Kind of old media, gang. Have you seen TV ratings recently? I mean, even "StribTube" is better.)
The plan is to more aggressively tickle web journalism's erogenous zones: sports, local entertainment, lifestyle and politics. Personally, I had high hopes for "Local School Boards Tonight," but that's me.
Barnes lets the troops know that "some of you will (very soon) be tapped to produce content for Strib TV ... If you think you have a voice and or a presence on camera, here's your chance to shine."
She sounds like a slightly desperate high-school drama teacher, perhaps because there are those in the crowd who would rather be left alone to report. We can, I hope, avoid a journalism version of "Phil's Nails." Or, as a scribe puts it, "two words: cable access."
Then again, if you look at all the doughy sports columnists on local shows, camera-ready clearly doesn't matter for certain topics. (Will Barnes rein in outside gigs as the Strib brings multimedia in-house? With radio-ratings champs like Pat Reusse, it's tempting to bolt down the next crusty curmudgeon for in-house podcasts.)
Newspapers and multimedia a tricky mix
Everyone knows new forms should be played with. There's a compelling argument that papers hit the web late and shouldn't play catch-up when web studies show multimedia growth. Despite print circulation declines, the web has kept the Strib a mass medium; the last time their local market penetration was this high, Nixon was president.
But buying "in-field video kits" and "a suite of editing rooms" comes at a time when street-level reporters have been bought out, or spread thinner into zones — and management hints behind closed doors that more bodies will fall.
At my most cynical, I think newspapers-on-TV is management's fairy tale to itself, pixie dust that distracts from an honest way forward.
The eternal question for civic-minded folk is this: how do these moves help news reporting? If you look at the four Strib TV hot zones, only one is hard news. The future looks somewhat like the "Today Show" — which Barnes underlines by talking up female-skewing blogs like "bodytalk" and "home/garden/real estate" — plus a healthy dash of ESPN. (There's also a newscast, possibly with weather — hello, Paul Douglas!)
If you're talking TV, this is a compelling mix: Matt Lauer and Bristol's wisecracking sports anchors have trounced the competition for years. Strib journalists can produce a smarter version. But that's rarely worked on TV, and I'm not sure the web offers more fertile ground, especially with inferior production values.
Josephine Marcotty's "bodytalk" is a good example of intelligent health coverage — but does "chattier than print" add value if she has less time to cultivate sources, clear her head and bang out original reportage?
Managing editor Rene Sanchez insists the tail won't wag the dog: "No one is going to be asked to do more than they can handle, not even close. Many reporters and editors are saying they're eager to participate in this kind of innovation and extend their expertise on subjects that our readers deeply care about."
At least one normally tart Strib reporter I spoke with confirms that eagerness, only lamenting that "when we were spending millions on [the print] redesign, we should've bought video cameras instead."
I like the Strib web guys. Their skill is often underappreciated. For example, readers linger longer at startribune.com than at all but one Top-30 paper: the New York Times. And unlike the Times, the Strib's number is rising. So there's at least a glimmer that they can capture growth and preserve some reporting jobs instead of cannibalizing for flash.
I mean, I'd pay money to see growly Strib business guy Mike Meyers rant like Michael Moore about the state of corporate ethics. But I wouldn't want him to quit his day job.
The memo
Anyway, here's the memo:
Newsroom Update
April 7, 2008
Dear staff,
As we all know, the company is working hard to realign our costs in the face of one of the toughest advertising climates in recent history. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the gloom and doom in our industry. And yet, these also present some of the most interesting and challenging opportunities we have ever seen as journalists. We are in the midst of transformational shifts in the way readers use, consume, and share information and we need to adapt quickly.
I wanted to bring you all up to speed on some of the changes already under way in our newsroom. Over by the gray room, we are in the middle of building a standup TV studio, where we plan to produce programming for the web by the end of spring. A cross-company task force has been working since late December on a project we have dubbed Strib TV and we plan to get that up and running as fast as humanly possible. This is a project we will adapt as we go, but we are starting with information shows around content that we already own to a large degree: sports, local entertainment, lifestyle and news/public affairs (politics). We plan to add a daily newscast, available on demand, and may expand into weather. We believe that this content is important not only for transforming our website, but also so that we can deliver information on demand to users on the go. Dan Shorter and I will also be looking for other media partners for our content.
In the old phone room, just as you enter the newsroom, we are also remodeling to create a suite of video editing rooms. We have experimented broadly with video in the last year and learned a lot about what works and what doesn't so even as we increase our production of video for the web, it's time to be much more strategic about how and what we produce. Will and Cory have been working on a guidance for our video work and some of this will entail training more reporters to gather news video in the field. More details on that later.
Elsewhere in the room, two separate teams are busy building out our presence on the web for local health news and information as well as home/garden/real estate information. You have seen some of their work with the launch of Josephine Marcotty's bodytalk blog. In sports and business, we have created two editing jobs so that the business and sports departments will own their content online as well as in print -- eliminating the wall that used to exist between the two newsrooms. We will expand on this model as we move forward.
It's important to note that even while we are looking to cut costs wherever we can, the company is still investing in parts of the business we need to grow. We have already bought the cameras for the Strib TV project, and we recently got capital approved for the in-field video kits we need to ramp up our production of local video. We have also hired a new vendor for our email news, so that we can send out breaking news alerts much more quickly than we have been able to do in the past, and we are lining up a new vendor so that our video will be more prevalent on the site.
Here's where I ask for your help. Some of you will (very soon) be tapped to produce content for Strib TV; certain content is a natural fit. However, we also will need people to host the shows, and read our newscast. If you think you have a voice and or a presence on camera, here's your chance to shine. We haven't determined exactly how we are going to audition people, but we are asking for names of people who would be interested. This is open to anyone in the newsroom, or in the company. Email Will Tacy or Cory Powell if you are interested.
Meanwhile, please don't hesitate to stop by if you have questions, suggestions or concerns about our work in the newsroom.
Comments (9)
I'll reserve judgement until I see the product.
That said, my gut feeling is this has failure written all over it. And that, I think, will not be an uncommon sentiment. Sorry team, getting into web video to make money is a really dumb idea.
Don't knock the Sid Hartman Show until you've seen it, and to those of us who watch the crusty's on Ch. 23 Sunday nights on a regular bases you can see the success of you tube and how can you harp on a little strib. video which follows in the same gender, that on a positive note, genius if you will…
Commercial if you will, strib. gave me the "Letter of the day" last Tuesday recognizing that a Vikings Mall of America Stadium would greatly increase tourism and at note that they have 4 blocks at $45 Million they would like to sell, so if they want a little video, I'm for it, especially if they can get Dave Lee's Sid moments on the screen; they left my www.bludog.com off the letter but next week on the steps of the Capitol…
Go, strib. video, too bad, minnpost doesn't have the same guts, hmmm, is that a business suggestion, let the video wars begin…

Re: "I like the Strib web guys. Their skill is often underappreciated." OK here is some appreciation! Star Tribune were Web pioneers. They opened for business in June 1995 (link below, and they tested alt.journalism in 1994 before this). They might have been the only major paper asking and answering technical questions on Usenet back then. Good luck to them with their new idea.
This illustrates the demise of print journalism all too clearly. We (most Americans) no longer have the patience to wade through an article, thinking and analyzing and parsing the truth. Now even the neatly-packaged evening news requires too much attention -- we would much rather prefer two or three minute web clips.
Important to understand, David, is the concept of digital switch in 2009. You know about your PEG channel, right? You may not know that Stanford University makes freely available state-of-the-art audio and video software available, which turns old desktop PCs into state-of-the-art digital recording studios. Put the two ideas together, and you have a community full of tv studios. Add one more feature, videoconferencing, and by this time next year, the paper's "branded network" will be streaming out to a global audience, and live, interactive tv talk shows will become the expected.
Yes, if you have a comment, you fire up your webcam, contact the paper, and the world will watch, listen, and talk back to you.
Better, the local telethon will be running 24x7x365, the city's garage sales tour will bring those long sought after treasures to your tv screen/monitor screen.
Enjoy! And, I'll be looking for the MinnPost channel soon. Are you ready?
This is going to be fun.
When I got into daily journalism at the PP, we could write long now and then – but the section was always tight, and every nice long feature crowded out other work. When I went to work for a syndicate in the early 90s, we had trouble pitching our pieces to papers in the chain: no room. (The recession shrunk news holes all across the country.) Now we have print + blogs + video. There's more room to do stuff than ever before.
As for inferior production values – I can't speak to the look of StribTV, since I'm not involved with the project, aside from talking about possible contributions. But I've been streaming reasonably good-quality widescreen video at buzz.mn for a while, and other sites – like Reason.com – run broadcast-quality stuff on a shoestring budget. You'd be surprised what you can do with an entry-level HD cam and the video-editing software that comes with any Mac. Besides, YouTube looks like crap, and it's not exactly sucking wind. For that matter, the current video offerings on the Strib website look better than the local TV channels' stuff.
Like I said: this is going to be fun.
I'd be impressed if the Strib can manage to put together entertaining web video. If they try to put together evening news type pieces, this will be an utter failure. But if the pieces are adjuncts to articles, or have some snark/attitude to them and can draw in some interest from those who have otherwise written off the Strib, it could be a nice added feature.
And it never hurts to keep visitors at your site for an extra 2-3 minutes...

Awesome A Capella NSYNC Medley [VIDEO]
Just when we think we can't be amazed by by something on the internet, up pops an awesome N'SYNC medley video.
Subscribe to WFHN-FM/FUN 107 on
For using no instruments – wait – using the greatest instrument of all, the human voice, these guys have put together a greatest hit video of N'Sync songs, that we quite frankly can't get enough of.
All we can hope is that the awesome folks on Pentatonix do some more of these. If we're going nostalgic, how about Spice Girls or 98 Degrees? Do you take requests?

I admit it. I am a holiday music fanatic. Each year, I roam the stores in search of the perfect Christmas record. But this year I was beginning to despair. Because, although I am obsessive about the music, I am not indiscriminate in my affections. I've been wading through the countless CDs by such superstars as Kenny G, Amy Grant, and even the Irish tenors, all of which left me wondering if the spirit of Christmas (whatever it may be) has finally succumbed to commercialism.
Then I had the good fortune to stumble upon Low's Christmas. This quiet little album has single-handedly rescued holiday music for me. Combining covers of traditional Christmas songs with several originals, Low's approach to a holiday album is unlike any other. Eschewing the jolly—and overplayed—ditties that increasingly fill the other albums, Low presents a vision of Christmas that is a bit somber, but ultimately more filled with Christmas spirit than the whole wall of holiday hits at Sam Goody.
The album begins with a rocking and merry original, a significant departure for the usually uncannily reserved band. "Just Like Christmas" conveys an infectious happiness that carries through the dolor of the remaining seven songs, soothing their troubled take on the holiday.
"Long Way Around the Sea," another original, returns Low to its signature style, with Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's beautiful harmonies slowly winding their way through the music. The song's poetry and serenity capture the holiness of the holiday, offering a gentle glimpse of the Biblical origins of Christmas. The album's third original song, "If You Were Born Today," is a rather grim assessment of what Christmas has become whose subdued condemnation resonates in the song's wistful melody. "Taking Down the Tree" is a tender and affectionate commentary on the aftermath of Christmas fun that feels sweetly like looking through a family photo album.
The band's choice of traditional songs is wise and almost humorous in its appropriateness. This album is thankfully free of "Rudolph" or "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," instead including three less raucous classics. Low's version of the "Little Drummer Boy" is backed by a keyboard drone and distant drums, lending a slightly disquieting quality to the already haunting vocal harmonies. For "Blue Christmas," Parker channels the ghost of Elvis, or perhaps Patsy Cline. Rich harmonies and bare guitar chords give "Silent Night" a touching simplicity.
My favorite song of the album may be the last. "One Special Gift" is tiny but lovely. Accompanied by an achingly, slowly strummed guitar, Parker sings, "After we've spent all the money on nieces and nephews and a couple of friends, there'll be just enough left. For one special gift. For one special guest." With that, the album ends, leaving the listener with a richer perspective on negotiating the conflicting demands of the season and a reminder of what is often brushed aside during the holidays.

We know that finding the right books to prep for the SAT can be a challenge. Thank-you for visiting our page!
These days, the best site for buying SAT books is probably the amazon site, because it has just about every book you could possibly look for. Thus, most of what we recommend will be available from amazon. No matter where you are in the world, amazon can probably get your SAT books to you.
So, without further ado, here are our current recommendations!!
SAT Books We Recommend
- The Black Book by Mike Barrett
This is the best SAT book we've ever reviewed in terms of it teaches actual, effective, usable strategies for the SAT. Some of the techniques in this book might seem like gimmicks, or even like cheating, but they are all legitimate and completely effective. When we teach our own local classes, this is the must-have book. It doesn't matter if you want a 2400 or if you would be happy with just 1800, or anything in between.
- The Blue Book by College Board
This is also a must-have book for practicing. These are real SAT tests written by the company that writes the official tests. This means you can use these tests as a solid indicator of your performance and improvement before the day you actually take the test. If you can consistently get the score you want on a few of these practice tests, then you should get the same SAT score when you take the test officially. Don't follow the strategies in this book though. They aren't good. Use the black book (above) for that.
- Ace the Math on the SAT by Loren Meterding
This book is a bit over-board for most people, but if you like SAT math, or if you are good at your math classes, but just can't translate that into SAT performance, then this book may be just the think for you. It goes into a ton of detail about the math section of the SAT. It includes sample questions that are probably harder than the real thing, but that's okay if you have the Blue Book (above), because the Blue Book will provide you with questions of the authentic difficulty level.
- 500 Keywords: Remember Them Forever by Charles Gulotta
This book teaches you vocabulary words that you don't really need for the SAT. (SAT vocabulary isn't really very helpful. See the Black Book for a full explanation.) But if you want to increase your vocabulary (who doesn't?) then this would be the best book for that purpose.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
HelloThank you.
The Primary Resident Parent has the final say on all decisions where the parents cannot come to an agreement on every day non emergency matters. But in the major decision process, each parent has an equal say and should do their best to communicate and come to a resolution.
In such a scenario as you present, if the parents cannot agree, then the child could be subject to going to see both therapist which obviously is not in the best interest of the child. I suggest it is best to try to come to an understanding and resolution. If not, then mediation would be in order. I hope that this information is helpful. If you need further information, please just send me a reply asking for clarification. After that, I hope you will enter a positive rating so that I will be credited for assisting you. Thanks again for using this service. Your business is appreciated..

Electropyrography 10
Sunset Electropyrograpy panel 5" x 9.5" ready to hang wall art
The art of burning a design into wood using High Voltage Electricity.
I use a process that allows electricity to flow through the wood creating heat, which burns the wood. Each burn pattern is completely unique, essentially a combination of chance and experimentation.
This makes my artwork truly one-of-a-kind.
Lichtenberg figures (German Lichtenberg-Figuren) are branching electric discharges that sometimes appear on the surface or in the interior of insulating materials. Lichtenberg figures are often associated with the progressive deterioration of high voltage components and equipment. The study of planar Lichtenberg figures along insulating surfaces and 3D electrical trees within insulating materials often provides engineers with valuable insights for improving the long-term reliability of high voltage equipment. Lichtenberg figures are now known to occur on or within solids, liquids, and gases during electrical breakdown.

This puts some teeth into the adoption regulatory scheme. —Wes Hutchins, an adoption attorney
SALT LAKE CITY — After nearly two hours of debate, a bill intended to crack down on fraudulent representations by adoption agencies and their employees was held by a legislative committee Tuesday.
Opponents of SB183 said the state Office of Licensing has sufficient administrative authority to sanction adoption agencies.
"I don't think it's adequate. That's why we brought the bill to the attention of the committee," said Sen. Luz Robles, D-Salt Lake City.
But some members of the Senate Judiciary Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee, including Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, said the bill went too far in defining fraud.
Moreover, it does not address the underlying problem in many disputed adoptions involving birth mothers from out of state, that the respective states do not recognize one another's paternity registries.
Sen. Stephen Urquhart, R-St. George, said the bill could conceivably "undo a lot of Utah's Adoption Act, which I don't believe is appropriate."
The committee voted to move to the next item on its agenda, which means the bill remains with the committee and the sponsor can ask to place it on the agenda of a future meeting.
Wes Hutchins, an adoption attorney who spoke for the bill, said more must be done to ensure adoption agencies operate legally and ethically.
"This puts some teeth into the adoption regulatory scheme," Hutchins said.
Ken Stettler, director of the state Office of Licensing, said there are 36 licensed adoption agencies in Utah, and approximately one-fourth have had complaints filed against them.
However, not every complaint is substantiated and results in corrective action or other sanctions. The agency is prepared to investigate and impose sanction when warranted, he said.
"If they come to our attention, we'll address them. There may be some we're not aware of," Stettler said.

Microsoft are making some changes to the naming of things in SharePoint 2010, the most obvious being the dropping of the word "Office" from the main product name. A rather larger change of name is Windows SharePoint Services becoming SharePoint Foundation.
Confusing though this change may be, I think it's a good one. I've seen a lot of people get confused over the differences between WSS and MOSS. Without seriously digging into the features, it's hard to understand why they should pay for MOSS, rather than just go with the licenses for WSS they already have. The new name makes it clear from the outset that SharePoint Foundation is the foundation level for a SharePoint solution. It's there to be built on top of by the main product.
As with WSS and MOSS, SharePoint Foundation will provide the basic functionality necessary for a SharePoint deployment and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 will build on top of it to provide rich and valuable solutions to business problems.
SharePoint Foundation provides the ground-level capabilities for sites, communities and content management. It also gives a small amount of features for search and composites. It may be enough to solve business problems for some companies but for others, the depth of features provided by Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 standard or enterprise will be required.
If you invest in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 with Software Assurance now, you'll get the upgrade rights to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 when it comes out.

And another one bites the dust…
So last night, fighting in the face of strange roster issues for tomorrow, TRI took a stab at Vashj – and oneshot her (our first time to do that), and then trundled over to Tempest Keep. Where we proceeded to have a barbecue and then take Void Reaver's motorcycle away from him again.
We're now officially 6/6 and 3/4, and seeing as how Al'ar went down pretty easily (three takes, I think?) I'm not seeing a big issue with taking him out again. The news on the street is that we'll be doing Vashj and TK now on one night, and then either Kael or Rage Winterchill the next. With possible forays to off Magtheridon.
Last night was, unfortunately, one of the hardest nights for me in awhile. Not because of anyone else, but because, when it comes to the kitchen… well… I'm a great cook, and an accident waiting to happen. The last "mishap" involved an avocado and a chef's knife, and ended with me attempting to put said chef's knife straight through my hand. (I didn't succeed, fortunately)
This one was… well, more brainless.
I was making a tasty baked omelette, with bread and cheese and eggs and mushrooms and bacon and onion and garlic and some asparagus. Yum! I baked it in my regular, heavy aluminum skillet. And when I removed it from the oven, I set it on the stove burner.
At which point my brain was thinking about getting food quickly and getting back to the raid, and previous habit said "skillet on stove, handle is never hot" and so I picked it up by the handle. Straight out of a 425 degree oven. I'd show you the blisters, but my digital camera cord is out of commission.
I will say that Clique saved my arse last night. It is possible to raid with one hand alternating between a bag of frozen stuff (I believe I went through peas, corn, strawberries, and peaches) and the keyboard and the other hand healing, especially when "healing" means holding down one key and clicking on people. I realized pretty quick that I was both able to heal and rather distracted by healing – which was good, as anyone who has ever had a bad burn on their hand knows.
Moral of the story? Don't be stupid when it comes to stuff out of the oven. Rather appropriate for a night when we were after a fire-turkey…

Vascular Surgery
A bruise on my calf
I noticed a painful area on my calf, when I checked it it appeared to be a bruise. I haven`t hit it it also has a small knot in it, what do I need to do?
This may be from valves which aren't working properly in your veins - something which can lead to varicose veins. When the valves don't work, there can be back up of blood in certain areas causing a bluish discoloration. An ultrasound of your vein valves can help evaluate this. Good luck!

The potential effects on Silsden traders from the town's planned new Tesco supermarket must be fully explored, says a councillor. Coun Andrew Mallinson has added his weight to calls for a retail impact assessment to be carried out before Bradford Council debates the plan.
Coun Mallinson, who represents Craven Ward on Bradford Council, said: "Tesco is forced to have an impact on shops such as butchers, bakers and newsagents. If the negative impact is on stores in the town, then the town centre may no longer be the focal point of Silsden."
Coun Mallinson accepted that Tesco had already researched current "leakage" from Silsden – the amount of money lost to the town as residents did their weekly food shopping in other areas. But he said that just as important as this figure, estimated at £10 million, was how much money Silsden traders would lose to the town's own Tesco.

Hello. If you'd like to chat about this holiday or need help finding one we're very happy to help. Rosy & team.01273 823 700 email@example.com
One of the strengths of this centre is the wealth of local contacts and that the clients feel that they are experiencing the true Tyrol. We have excellent working relationships with the tourist office, the local shop, winter equipment hire, the mountain huts and cafes, the bus drivers, the mountain rescue team and taxi firms.
By supporting the local community we are demonstrating how responsible tourism can still make a difference in a developed area of Western Europe. The bonus for our clients is that they can see how they are supporting directly the local economy and the warm welcome they receive from the local inhabitants.
Accommodation and Meals
Accommodation for the week is in the family run Hotel Wienerhof in the Tyrolean village of Trins. The Wienerhof is a traditional Tyrolean inn and as such is a member of the "Tiroler Wirtshaus". This association exists to ensure that members maintain authentic Tyrolean cuisine with local influences. The focus is on local ingredients with proof of origin (AMA seal of approval), the diverse native culinary delights as well as down to earth Tyrolean ambience, coupled with good hospitality. For over 20 years, the initiative focuses on values such as seasonality and regionality.
The most basic elements of the initiative are the:
love of Tyrolean cooking
freshness of the produce sourced from local farms, rivers and forests
particular emphasis on authentic atmosphere and architecture.
The atmosphere of a traditional Tyrolean inn can probably be best summed up by the expression "Tyrolean hospitality". The dishes prepared in every inn are based on traditional Tyrolean recipes.
Local Craft and Culture
Clients are encouraged to stop at mountain huts and restaurants and other local businesses, where our visit makes a valuable contribution to their trade. Some examples are:
We visit a typical Tyrolean farm during the week, where it is possible to sample their home-made produce, such as smoked ham, sausage, cheese, schnapps and liqueurs! There is also the opportunity to purchase the items sampled, providing additional income for a rural farming family. We also visit the animals in the barn to see how they live and are fed during the winter months. When there is a village event, such as a band concert, we make every effort to attend and are given a warm welcome!
We visit a former Servite monastery during the week, which is still owned and run by the order. Here is always time to visit the monastery church and some of the other special features of the site as well as enjoying the food and drink in the refectory style restaurant.
On the free day, many people visit the nearby city of Innsbruck, where it is possible to visit many interesting cultural sites, but the Tyrolean Folk Museum is one of the most popular!
Mountain Rescue
We hold evening talks and slide show by members of the local mountain rescue team. These talks are very well received by our clients. We have a collecting box in the hotel and last winter season collected 400. This, along with the 800 collected in the summer, will go towards the purchase a replacement stretcher. This is one of the latest state of the art mountain rescue stretchers the team leader is delighted!
Exodus clients are the biggest contributors to the Steinach / Gschnitztal Mountain Rescue Team. Since starting, on a small scale, in the winter of 2011/12, we have collected a total of 5,525 for the mountain rescue team!
Our resident leader was, recently highly honoured to be presented with an Ehrenurkunde (a certificate of commendation) signed by the head of the mountain rescue service for the Tyrol. This is apparently a highly unusual event, especially for a foreigner, and required considerable justification.

The plastic balls in this case are suspended by the thousands from colorful netting allowing exhibition visitors to climb and walk along the structure. He has also created some wonderfully comfortable looking hammocks...

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Haywards Heath, West Sussex, United Kingdom, 2010/06/23 - Global Immersion, a leader in the field of digital immersive theater and planetarium experiences, has been awarded contract by Moscow Planetarium, Russia, to design and integrate three new theater experiences into the renovated facility.
Global Immersion will be installing six unique and state-ofthe-art Fidelity and Intensity® digital displays into three theaters throughout the new Moscow Planetarium. The theaters are a key part of the large-scale modernization and expansion, and are scheduled for completion in December 2010 when the building will reopen to the public.
Since opening in 1929, Moscow Planetarium has been a center for thousands of Soviet schoolchildren to gaze at the stars and learn about our place in the Universe. The facility closed in 1994 when building modernization talks first began. The new team in Moscow has now finalized renovation plans that will see an expansion of the historic building from 32,000 square ft to 182,000 square ft making way for a Museum of Astronomy and History of Space Travel, and the new theaters, facilities and exhibits within it.
Global Immersion has been contracted to design and install six display systems into three theaters, in addition to a central production suite and render farm.
The 25-meter/82-ft planetarium will house a seven-channel/fourteen-projector Fidelity Bright digital fulldome system. The dome periphery will feature a separate digital panoramic hybrid display - completely synchronized with a new optical star projector from Carl Zeiss. To expand upon the fulldome functionality, a third Fidelity 3D display employing the new Sony SRX-T420 4K projector will project a 17-meter giant screen 3D image from the rear of the theater. The planetarium will seat up to 364 visitors at a time, and will be managed entirely from the Fidelity Play media server and storage facility in the central server room.
In addition to the core planetarium facility, Global Immersion will be installing two multi-dimensional experiences for visitors. A 47-seat Intensity® 4D theater will be integrated with motion seating from D-BOX® Technologies, ambient sensory effects, and special effect lighting and audio systems. Separately, a 4.6-meter production dome will employ a fulldome display with LED-projection technology, and a further stereocopic 3D fulldome display system complete with an additional D-BOX motion seat installation.
All of the new theaters will be supported by a range of high-specification real-time, playback and control solutions.
Speaking about the multiple contract award, Martin Howe, Chief Executive at Global Immersion said; Our new partnership with Moscow Planetarium marks a true milestone in the continued expansion and development of our organization. We are delighted to be working with such an ambitious client who shares our ideals of pushing the boundaries of immersive theater, and envisage each of the new displays and experiences at the Moscow facility as being some of the very best in the world.
About Global Immersion

Looking for a new place to call home? Sheepshead Bites has got you covered. Our rental roundup is a new feature showcasing some of the deals on the market now. If you know of a great place available for rent or are a broker representing a property you want included, contact nberke [at] sheepsheadbites [dot] com. And if you live in or near one the places below, let neighbors know what you think in the comments.
One Bedroom and Quite a Stink in Sheepshead Bay
Price: $1,350
Location: Bragg Street
Description: This apartment offers many thing: lots of closet space, a separate kitchen, and a new tiled bathroom. The realtor also notes in the post that the location is close to many things like restaurants and transportation but what's missing in this list is just how close you would be to the Coney Island Water Treatment Plant and the not so charming smell that comes from it. At least you'll always know what half of Brooklyn had for dinner.
Contact: Chauncey Palmer, Oxford Realty Group, (347) 409-7970
One Bedroom in Midwood
Price: $1,600
Location: 2301 Kings Highway
Description: Some might call it lazy work when a realtor doesn't put much in a post's description, but I like to think this guy read a lot of Hemingway as a kid. There's a large one bedroom, a kitchen with new appliances and a new bathroom. What more do you want?
Contact: Michael Merola, Citi Habitats, (917) 892-6664
Studio with a Huge Window in Sheepshead Bay
Price: $1,250
Location: 3000 Ocean Avenue
Description: For a studio, this apartment looks to be spacious with three closets, a separate dining area and a kitchen with some counter-top space.
Contact: Diana, DSJ Realty, 917-804-7473
One Bedroom With Redwood Floors in Brighton Beach
Price: $1,800
Location: Brighton 1st Place
Description: For all it's glory, this apartment seems to be on the small side, especially considering the price. There's a separate living room connected to the kitchen. Whoever was in charge of interior decoration really liked the color red. The wood floors and the window frames are red.
Contact: Boris Gelfand, Success Trade Realty, (347) 620-7174

udev + usb gprs modems
am experiencing some troubles with udev on embedded linux (running on kernel 126.96.36.199). The embedded system has 2 USB ports width 2 identical USB GPRS modems. But each modem has different SIM and is supposed to comunicate with different peers. What I need is to distinguish these two modems not by name (kernel assign names like ttyACM0 and ttyACM1 in order in witch the modems were plugged in) but by the topology position, for example:
/dev/modem1 for device plugged in usb port 1
/dev/modem2 for device plugged in usb port 2
I tried to run udev on system with these rules:
KERNELS=="1-1:1.0", SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SYMLINK+="modem1"
KERNELS=="1-2:1.0", SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SYMLINK+="modem2"
but the symlinks are not created when pluging the devices. Even udevtest for /class/tty/ttyACM0 doesn't seem to find any suitable rules to add. But if I add a rule for network, like:
KERNEL=="eth0", SYMLINK+="test_net"
the udevtest /class/net/eth0 prints a message that a symlink called test_net would by created, so udev is probably working. I tried to modify rules such as SUBSYSTEM=="usb" (just for test) and still nothing happened. Am I missing something?
Try this.
KERNEL=="ttyACM*", SYMLINK+="modem"

Hands On: Skiff Reader
I just got a chance to play with the big-screened, touchscreened Skiff Reader, which is targeted at periodicals. It's incredibly thin, incredibly light, and they've even got a color screen prototype—Kindle and Nook should be scared.
Skiff Reader: The Largest Yet Thinnest eBook Reader to Date
It's bigger than any Kindle or device from B&N. Optimized for magazines and newspapers, the Skiff Reader offers a durable 11.5-inch (1600 x 1200) "Metal Foil" touchscreen display, but it's still just a quarter of an inch thick.

LOL! That's skinny Mike. I think Nate you could probably take him. Unless he rides on the tiger's back.
reminds me of this clip...these two guys raised this lion from a cub but had to release it into the wild after it got too big. after a year, they came back to see it and here's what happened...
That's awesome! How did you get your tiger anyway? I would love to adopt one (even if it's cared for elsewhere) once we're financially comfortable.

GAA: Kevin keen to taste senior success with Burren boys
Two years ago Kevin McKernan (pictured right) was at the helm of an Abbey CBS Newry side that landed MacRory Cup and Hogan Cup (All Ireland Colleges) glory.
Today university student McKernan is on the scent of more success, this time with his club Burren.
They will confront Castlewellan in the Down Senior Football Championship quarter-final at Hilltown on Sunday (6pm) anxious to take another step towards atoning for last year's disappointment in the county final when they fell to Mayobridge.
In that game, McKernan made a tremendous contribution although he finished on the losing team.
Son of former Down All Ireland winning corner back Brendan McKernan, Kevin is currently playing the best football of his career at club level in the centre three-quarters position from where he orchestrates Burren's attacking strategy.
However, the team are expected to be without ace sharpshooter James McGovern for their quarter-final mission as he is currently in the United States.
Kevin, though, could perhaps compensate for his absence.
He certainly did so against Warrenpoint in the previous round, when he bagged 1-5 of the Burren total of 1-9.
It's this kind of accuracy that could help to make Burren favourites to advance to the semi-finals.
But club officials are playing it cool, mindful that the team has flirted with championship glory in recent years only to see Mayobridge retain their position of eminence.

FORTUNE -- FOSS Patents' Florian Mueller has been reading through the motions Apple (aapl) and Samsung filed in advance of their upcoming patent trial in the Northern District of California and has come across a few interesting tidbits.
Both sides want to exclude some of the things that have been written about them.
Samsung doesn't want the jury to hear anything from "Apple related blogs, and articles by non-expert newspaper reporters, regarding any assessment of Apple and Samsung and/or their products." It also wants to exclude testimony from Apple's expert on consumer decision making, Sanjay Sood, who -- using a familiar Apple trope -- described the company as having design in its DNA.
Apple goes even further. It wants to exclude any "argument or evidence regarding statements attributed to Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson in his biography."
That's a lot of evidence -- 656 pages worth, if you count the whole thing. And it means the jury will not hear -- if they haven't already -- the most explosive thing Jobs ever said on the record about Google's (goog) Android, the operating system in Samsung's smartphones and the issue at the heart of the case:
"Our lawsuit is saying, 'Google you f***ing ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off. Grand theft,'" Jobs told Isaacson the day Apple filed its first anti-Android suit.
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this. They are scared to death, because they know they are guilty."
How much fun will this trial be if the judge agrees to exclude that?

The Beginnings of a Race
Day 1,864, 11:19 • Published in USA • by
Bacon Empire
With the month's congressional election behind us and an American Freedom Party plurality in congress we may now look to the horizon for the ensuing presidential nomination. With the growing numbers of illegals and multies in the AFA we will surely be forced to return to the Unity System in order to deny yet another Ajay backed PTO attempt. The election is still young, and the platforms of each candidate are still evolving.
The Unity Candidates:
Fingerguns is running on a four point plan. Of her four points, only one has been released, but her other three are on the way. She also plans to, if elected, lead a complete overhaul of the Department of Homeland Security and restructure the government for maximum efficiency. What this restructuring would entail, is yet to be seen.
Her first point is Improved Communication and Cooperation. In her opinion communication is lacking. Not only does the general public have no idea what's going on half of the time, but neither does Congress. She plans to keep party and MU leaders in the loop, as well as the United States Congress and America as a whole. She has stated that congress is being extremely under utilized and, under her direction, congress would be used to the maximum of their potential.
John Jay:
Little is known of John's campaign yet, other then that it will include 4 Vice Presidents. The first two of these to be announced are BigCDizzle and Dr. Luis. The other two have yet to be chosen.
I saved Candor for last, seeing as he quite possibly has the most, unique, ideas of the three unity candidates. He plans to implement a round table of sorts. This table will be comprised of voting members from each political party that wishes to partake, and a series of non-voting members. He plans to allow the Table to vote, and his executive government will purely be there to follow out their orders. He wants each American, legal or not, to have an equal say. This includes those that wish to do us harm. Each sixth party, including those that have been PTO'd, will also have the opportunity to join the Table as a voting member.
Beyond the Unity Candidates, we have a Rogue Candidate.
The Rogue Candidate:
Ronald Gipper Reagan:
Reagan is the party president of the American Freedom Alliance, and has tried to PTO this country many times over. This is his latest attempt. He has decided that his party will support him in this election, without the use of a party primary to see what those true Americans in his party really wants. The Unity system was implemented specifically to keep this man out of office. He will lie cheat and steal to get get into this office. Just remember that RGR is Buddy the Elf's Santa.
More updates on the election as they arrive.
In Dio We Trust
RGR can not be never "The Rogue Candidate", because he is a candidate the strongest political party in eUSA o.O
