You just can't deny the popularity of CCTV systems today. In these tough economic times it is not surprising that most business owners and home owners are now choosing CCTV as the most reliable way to secure the things that are most important to them. The security of your home, business, property, family members, employees, and assets is nothing to joke about. Using a CCTV system may be the best tool you have to catch a criminal, combat theft, or protect yourself from the liabilities of an accident on your property. There are many threats out there in the real world that can be equalized with a simple CCTV camera system!
CCTV For Home Security
The great news for home owners is that CCTV is more affordable than ever. So the myth that CCTV equipment is too expensive for a home owner to own is no longer true. Like anything you get what you pay for, but there are CCTV systems available to support any budget. CCTV systems are also easier to install than ever, so the second most popular myth that CCTV systems are too complex to install and manage by a home owner is no longer true. Installing a system is really just powering, mounting, and plugging in devices. The most challenging part of a CCTV system installation may be putting your DVR on the home network so it can be accessed remotely. But even for this part of the installation most manufacturers provide instructions on how to easily do it.
For most home owners their goal is to secure the perimeter of the home. Most home owners only install cameras outdoors, so the goal is to position cameras around the home to ensure the entire property is secured without any blind spots a criminal can use to enter the perimeter. Since lighting is usually pretty poor in residential areas most home owners opt to use cameras with infrared LED's. Weatherproof and tamper resistant infrared bullet cameras seem to be the popular choice for most home owners.
CCTV For Business Security
Business owners love CCTV and they realize using it is not just for criminals. Employee theft is not doubt a bigger threat then some stranger off the street. Sure shoplifters are a huge concern, but for business owners the inside job can devastate a business. Most business owners will usually hire a professional installer to do the installation unless they are really tech savvy and have the time to do it on their own. Since business installations are usually larger and more complex, using a local contractor is usually the best option for getting a system installed. Most business owners will not only secure the internal areas of a business, but also the outside property. Business owners also use things like public viewing monitors, micro-phone kits, and Pan Tilt Zoom cameras, and even covert cameras to ensure that mission critical security measures are in place.
Most business owners also rely on a huge variety of different security camera types. Since the architecture of a commercial building is much more challenging to cover, often business camera systems have to use different camera mounts, camera lenses, or even more hi-tech professional grade security video recorder products to support larger more challenging areas. But overall the business owner will utilize many of the same camera types a home owner uses. It really depends on the size and scope of the project.
CCTV For Everyone
Both the home owner and business owner have many of the same concerns when it comes to securing their property, assets, family, customers, and employees. Sure the location is different, and maybe the people too. But at the end of the day security is for everyone. Your family and employees will thank you for taking bigger steps to provide a more secure place. Look at the installation as a CCTV system as an investment in your home or business!
Matty Smith is a CCTV installer with over 10 years of installation and engineering experience. He writes to share is knowledge with people that are looking to implement better security measures at their home or business.

Bumper Install Instructions
OVERVIEW:When we set out to create our new SVC Offroad 2017+ Gen 2 Ford Raptor Baja Smurf Bumper, we had certain criteria that needed to be met. The bumper needed to be sleek, lightweight, offer huge approach angles and make sure the relocated electronic blowoff valve is protected behind the skid plate and not out in the open risking possible damage, and thus possible engine damage.
Each one of our Baja Frame Cut bumpers are meticulously CNC bent and radiused to contour the unique front fascia of the 2017-20 Ford Raptor. This process is time-consuming and difficult, but the end results speak for themselves. Each one of our bumpers in manufactured right here in the U.S.A. and goes through a rigorous QC inspection. Each bumper is assembled and welded on a perfectly flat and square fixture table that locates each plate and tube exactly where it needs to be to ensure easy installation and proper gaps.
If you're in the market for a truly amazing crafted and well built front bumper that will transform the look of your truck, look no further.

I was excited when Apple announced support for folders in iOS 4. Folders were the solution to the iPhone's home screen limit and Apple implemented folder creation in a pretty slick way – dragging one app icon atop another, even suggesting a name in the process .But while I appreciate that Apple has tried to simplified the organization system in iOS when compared to the hierarchies in Mac OS and Windows, folders have become more frustrating than helpful to me.
First, the limit on the number of items (which varies depending on whether you are using an iPhone/iPod or iPad, forces arbitrary organization schemes. I've found this to be particularly true for games, the abundance of which on iOS has left me scratching my head as to how to group them. Is Traffic Rush a skill game? A strategy game? A driving game? I've mostly given up and just created sequentially named Games folders that lead me to forget what is where.
But this creates another problem because you can't search for folder names. If you've forgotten which folder you've used for an app, about your only alternative aside from opening every potential folder to spot check is to search for the app every time you want to launch it.
Finally, even after you've gone through the painstaking process of creating folders – a task not particularly enhanced by the iTunes desktop interface – restoring your folder organization can be a dicey proposition.
Old Mac hands will remember that the Mac's first filing system, the Macintosh Filing System (MFS), also had folders that were merely cosmetic and not hierarchical. Apple could better balance the needs of those wanting a more robust organization scheme and novices by creating a one level-deep hierarchy as it sort of has in iPhoto. It would also be great to see Apple create a more powerful desktop tool to organize apps, screens and folders, But I'd happily pass on either of those options if Apple would simply offer the option to keep apps and folders alphabetized as they do on the Mac and as they are in the Windows Phone app list and Android's stock launcher. This creates a default way to find things as the number of apps grows.

The unique challenge to carrot-growing in Houston is simply a question of depth. A productive local garden can be made with a mere four or five inches of raised-bed soil, but carrots grow to be much longer, or should I say, deeper than that. A few inches underneath the garden is Gulf Coast hard clay, and as my neighbor Tom noted, "You might as well plant them in concrete."
The first possible solution is to go the other direction, by building a length of mound, or planting two parallel two-by-six boards on their edges and filling up the space with garden soil. Another solution is to buy a variety of carrots that are stubby, like Nelson or Sweetness. A third way is to plant them in a large tub or planter.
Carrot seeds need light to germinate, so they can simply be scratched into the soil and watered lightly, or perhaps misted extensively until seedlings appear. Carrot seeds also require patience. Most Texas crops will sprout in a week or ten days, but carrots need two or three weeks before any pop-up action. After they do, each carrot only needs an inch or two of space to grow, so they can be thinned accordingly. After the sprouts start growing, carrots require a weekly fertilization.
The final challenge for carrots is soap. As in, "Why do carrots sometimes taste like soap?" The reason is carrots produce two major ingredients: sugar, which is why giant bags of carrots are sold in Whole Foods for carrot juice, and terpenoids, a volatile compound that gives carrots flavor, and in high doses, makes them bitter and soapy. Unfortunately, there are many vagaries of soil, temperature, weather, and storage that affect terpenoids, so it's hard to control for supermarket produce.

One name for avoiding soapy carrots is Nantes, a French creation that provides more sugar and less terpenoids. The Scarlet Nantes variety is tasty, sweet, and short, probably the best choice for a Houston garden, and ultimately a delectable carrot soup.

"I'm like a burlesque girl," she says. "I definitely won't be doing a Playboy spread."
Katy Perry isn't shy about showing some skin – just don't expect her to bare all.
"I like to play [the sexy] card because it's fun and definitely in my deck, but I like to tease," Perry says in the December issue of British Cosmopolitan. "I'm like a burlesque girl. I definitely won't be doing a Playboy spread, but I will be doing a kind of Dita Von Teese style."
Being married to Russell Brand is what, Perry says, makes her feel unconditionally sexy.
"I'm confident in my skin I guess, lately," she explains. "I think that when you're in a supportive relationship, you don't care anymore about outside. Things that may have irked you before don't matter because you found someone who loves you no matter what."
Adds Perry, "I guess it's a mixture of, 'Hey, I'm 26, and I know these are my prime years and I feel confident,' and being loved-up."

Arizona lawmaker Don Shooter got the boot. Now what happens?
Less than 24 hours after Don Shooter was ejected from the Arizona Legislature, signs of his controversial tenure at the Capitol were quickly being removed on Friday.
Staffers in the House of Representatives spent the day boxing up Shooter's office. His nameplate in the hall outside was taken off the day before, almost immediately after his dramatic ouster.
On Thursday, the House voted 56-3 to expel Shooter after an investigation found "credible evidence" that he sexually harassed at least seven women over several years.
MORE ABOUT IT: Arizona House expels Rep. Don Shooter
The spectacle left many wondering what happens next: Who will fill his seat in the House? What about his taxpayer-paid salary and benefits? Will lawmakers address lingering concerns about harassment at the Capitol?
Here are answers to some of the most frequent questions The Arizona Republic has received about Shooter's expulsion.
Who will take his place?
Per Arizona's Constitution, the vote to expel Shooter permanently strips him of his elected office, powers and duties. After Thursday's vote, he was escorted from the House chambers by security.
His seat in the House must now be filled by a Republican from Yuma County, where Shooter has his official residence (though he was known to spend much of his time in central Phoenix).
Local GOP precinct committee leaders must meet sometime in the next week or so to nominate three candidates to replace him.
Then, the Yuma County Board of Supervisors will select one of the three to serve the remainder of Shooter's term (through the end of this year). The seat is on the ballot in November.
Shooter represented a sprawling district that includes both rural and urban communities, encompassing parts of Buckeye, El MIrage, Glendale, Goodyear, Surprise and Yuma.
Report: Rep. Shooter sexually harassed women
4 key takeaways from Shooter harassment report
Will Shooter still get paid?
Matt Specht, a spokesman for the House Republican Caucus, said Shooter will receive his salary and per diem through Feb. 1, the day he was expelled.
State lawmakers receive a $24,000 yearly salary, along with a daily expense allowance to cover expenses such as lodging and meals during the legislative session. For lawmakers from outside Maricopa County, like Shooter, the per diem is typically $60 per day.
RELATED: Lawmaker: Investigate possible 'revenge porn' case at Arizona Capitol
Shooter's state health-insurance coverage will end Feb. 9, with the close of the current pay period, Specht said.
However, Shooter will still be able to collect a taxpayer-funded pension from his time in the Legislature. His pension should be about $7,000 per year.
What about other harassment concerns?
The investigation that led to Shooter's ouster ended without other lawmakers facing penalties in the House.
But the Legislature's #metoo moment might not be over. After the vote to oust Shooter, House Speaker J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler, said anyone with concerns about inappropriate behavior should come forward.
Mesnard has also called for changes to improve the House's institutional culture. He said he will propose adding a rule that requires a "formal behavioral code of conduct for all members," as well as a human-resources department for the chamber.
READ MORE: Sexist culture endures at Arizona Capitol, insiders say
Furthermore, Mesnard said he will ban alcohol consumption on House premises while he is speaker. Shooter was known for holding boozy after-hours parties in his office.
Several female lawmakers who spoke during Thursday's vote to oust Shooter said the chamber still has work to do to address concerns about a sexist culture.
"I'm proud of you guys for making this difficult decision," said House Majority Whip Kelly Townsend, R-Mesa. "(But) we have a ways to go."
The Arizona Republic investigated concerns about harassment at the Capitol. Based on interviews with about 40 people, the paper found a coarse sexist environment exists that's bigger than Shooter and can, at times, foster a dismissive attitude about sexual harassment toward women.

Nov 7
2012 ~ Conversion of final polling data had inferred a 293-205 Obama
lead after the final weekend and extrapolation of the general trend
suggested a subdued 277-261 Obama victory. The apparent
332-206 final result (55 ECV error) differs significantly from
With all
the economic issues facing the USA and its federal gov't, one asks
today how was it the republic failed in its opportunity to elect a
successful businessman with proven political executive experience to
the office of the Presidency. Some would say the roots are in
the flawed Republican Party Primary system where a candidate may be
forced to adopt (temporary) extreme positions on issues dear to its
religious zealots in some key States in order to secure the
nomination. Others would say the campaign was poorly run as
illustrated by its tendency to allow the Obama campaign and the
leftist media to dictate the daily and weekly narrative. As
such, this never became "the economy election" and social
issues, tax returns and the 47% derailed the desired Romney message.
dominant conclusion of last nite's results is reflected in this
turn-of-phrase gone viral on the WWWeb today: "Ask Not what
you can do for your country; ask what your country can do for You."
It is also evident the USA faces two to four years of status-quo
political gridlock. This is entirely inopportune 'cuz
Congressional failure to address its
Debt Wall
virtually ensures a Greek-scale treasuries yield crisis within a
dozen years. According to the
TRENDLines Recession Indicator,
addressing in the short term its massive trillion dollar Deficits
could have avoided an ultimate Structural Depression. But with
the USA lacking the political leadership necessary to implement a
sea change in its course, the model concludes that even if such
change is implemented in 2016, the USA economy shall not have
sufficient time to avoid an event which has the makings of a
full-fledged Structural Greater Depression...

were in post-Debates free fall 'til Launch of SunNews
May 4 2011
~ Release of Freddy Hutter's Antweiler-based riding projection
reveals the Conservatives were in free fall after the Leaders'
Debates, but a reversal in fortunes coincided with the April 18th
launch of the right-wing cable channel SunNews. Support
for PM Harper fell by 22 MPs in the six days following the April
11/12 Debates, then began the historic comeback to a 167 Majority.
It is said that the CTV Mike Duffy exposure of Dion's "Can we do
this again" outtake was the turning pint in October 2008.
Similarly, I would venture the Bell/CTV decision to air SunNews from
Launch to Election despite the fee dispute was instrumental in this
week's outcome.
For me personally, it
was a relief to finally see a Majority win by Canada's governing
Conservative Party (CPC). Of the 14 models we tracked this
campaign, two were my own and one (left) was the most accurate of
the bunch. The CPC again set up the election with negative ads
aimed at Her Majesty's Leader of the Loyal Opposition thru the
Winter. Similar to the 2008 campaign, this vaulted the CPC from 127
in October to 154 by February. Unlike 2008 however, it was frankly
a surprise to me the negative ad bump did not evaporate upon
commencement of Opposition ads. The chart also reveals there was
little movement until the Leaders' Debates (Apr12-13). Immediately
the CPC went into free-fall and hemorrhaged 22 MPs to the three
Opposition Parties. Then as I have predicted in my blog for months,
the fortunes of the CPC turned around upon the launch date (Apr 18)
of Canada's first right-wing Cable News channel ... SunNews. Great
timing, eh! In the final week of the campaign much sentiment turned
from the Liberal Party & the separatist Bloc Quebecois to the NDP
socialists. Election Day results have been added to gauge accuracy.
Backgrounder ~
the 2004
election campaign is remembered for our depiction of the
CPC's brief flirtation with a projected Majority looking
forward to Election Day, only to have voters back away from
that precipice and settle with status quo. In Sept 2005, we
saw multiple calls by the lame-stream media for Harper's
replacement as CPC Leader for botching the floor-crossing
affair and providing the Paul Martin Liberals with a
potential 161 MP Majority. Our projections showed the
Conservatives claw back to briefly take the lead by
November. The Liberals also struggled back to the lead but
our projections were first to reveal Harper had taken a
permanent lead on January 1st 2006, then went on to a
Minority victory later in the month. In the hours before PM
Harper visited the GovGen in early September 2008 to drop
the writ, our blog warned that his intent to
spit-in-the-face of his own fixed election day legislation
would prompt the Opposition to form a Coalition if the CPC
did not attain a Majority. He didn't listen and they did !
Today there is much irony in this year's election. The NDP
didn't want it and they did best. Unfortunately, before the
writ they held the balance of power and now they only get to
watch from the sidelines (minority vs majority). The
Liberals were the great instigator of the non-Confidence
vote ... and were decimated. The BQ were facilitators of
the unneeded election and paid the ultimate price ...
gonzo. The CPC didn't want an election ... and they were
rewarded with the elusive Majority! Next stop ... Oct
19 2015.

May 6
2010: The conversion of all yesterday's polls
reveals Nick Clegg's surge peaked on April 20th (two days prior to
the second Leaders Debate). During his run, Clegg garnered
sufficient support to take 34 potential seats from the Tories & 24 from Labour.
Sentiment has waned for Lib-Dems and to a lesser extent Labour over the fortnite.
The Conservatives
clearly own the momentum. One senses voters are fearful
that the potential of a
Labour/Lib-Dem Coalition strikes down their original preferred
outcome: scenarios vaulting David Cameron or even
Clegg to #10 Downing.
The force
driving positive Tory sentiment over these two weeks may be sudden
cognizance by the electorate that giving
Cameron a clear Majority is their only way of ridding themselves of
PM Brown. Unfortunately, the chart indicates that on its present trajectory,
the Conservative Party
is running out of time and will be shy of a Majority victory by May 6th.
If they fall short, Gordon Brown could still retain his Prime Ministership via a Coalition agreement with the Liberal Democrat
A similar Conservative Coalition with "the Others" is improbable due
to the fragmented nature of those MPs. But, an informal
alliance with the 6 Unionist MPs from Northern Island could reduce
Cameron's working Majority threshold to a more attainable 320.
Today's Seat Projection update indicates Cameron's Tories have a Minority lead in
the Campaign with 299 MPs (27 short of Majority), while PM Brown's Labour Party
has slid to 228 since a recent peak in mid-March. The balance of power is firmly in
control of the Liberal Democrats, ahead in 92
seats. The "Others" lead in 31 and may also
play a greater role in tight House of Commons votes.

Oct 15 2008 -
Looking at only the
"headliner" Riding Projections (those that were WWWeb available to
the public, analysts & pundits alike during the Campaign), this
year's best of class was Paul Adams of EKOS Research. This
model was second best in 2004 & n/a in 2006.
In second place this year was
Paul of Socialist
Investigations (Paulitics)
using his
proprietary Arithmetic
(Universal Swing) methodology.
There was a tie for
3rd place honours: Again is
this time using its Geometric methodology that applies the
Antweiler Voter Matrix Forecaster. Paul used it to
tie for 1st place in
the 2007 Ontario Election. The
other is our own TrendLines 14-model Avg. It placed 3rd in
2004, 6th in 2006 & 4th in Ontario 2007. After three Federal
Elections and the Ontario contest, this multi-model Avg is
now the overall leader of Riding Projection indicators, displacing
Milton Chan.
Chan's 13th of 16 placing last nite on top of a dismal 8th of

Prediction Rating) While
many pundits were fooled by conflicting polls in the 2007 Quebec
Election, TrendLines Research was rare in predicting that Jean
Charest's Liberal Party would salvage victory. Meanwhile,
Mario Dumont's ADO have changed the complexion and outlook of Quebec
politics. Neither the Federal nor Provincial Liberals own the
anti-Separatist vision any longer. This Election marked a
seachange in Quebec & Canadian poltics.

Prediction Rating) Below
is the long term tracking and our Ontario Call.
The Election was October, but we knew McGuinty's
Liberals would win back in June!
Prediction Rating) Below is
our 2007 tracking of the Newfoundland/Labrador Election:
the fact that Larry Bagnell was truly appreciated as a dedicated
MP but now found on the wrong side of the House of Commons for
his role in bringing the bucks back from Ottawa, Evalina wanted
to gauge the opinion of folks in the Yukon on whether our MP
would better serve us on the Gov't side instead of holding his
allegiance with those corrupt Liberals. It seems the time
is not yet quite right, eh!
"The West Wants In" was Stephen Harper's rally cry coined for
Preston Harper a dozen years ago. On Jan 23 2006 it became "the
west is in!!" And we can see in this chart that Yukoners
could sense in the lead up months that a sea change was underway...
won't know how we did on this one 'til the Secession vote!
Rating) Below, Stephen Harper Snatches
Victory Late in the Campaign. TrendLines Research called his
win back in November!!
Rating) Below, our first effort in the controversial Yukon
By-Election. Everyone thought Cynthia was winning...

Projection. While the next Election is not scheduled by PM
Stephen Harper until Oct 19 2009, the reality of Minority
Gov't is that either the PM or the Opposition could plunge us into
the third Election in less than three years at almost any moment.
While the Conservatives would most certainly only pull the plug upon
prospects of a Majority, the floundering fortunes of the NDP, BQ &
Liberals continue to fan the flames of a writ. Cocky
statements by the Opposition are mostly in jest. IMHO, no
respectable race is possible until former Premier & Ambassador the
USA, Frank McKenna, challenges for the Liberal leadership...

3rd Federal Election MP Seat Projection. Successful
predictions in the Yukon & Quebec will see us expand shortly to

March 26th 2007
- TrendLines Quebec Election riding projections (based on modeling by Tonie Chaltas & Gregory
Morrow of Opinion Polls to March 24th) vs final Actual
ElectionsQuebec Mar 26th 2007 Actual Tally:
Member of the Quebec Nat'l Assembly (Majority = 63 Ridings)
agreed the political climate had been volatile the last 72 hours ... But this
"Oops" is reminiscent of the NDP Bob Rae catapult in early 90's Ontario!!
Mario Dumont of the ADQ is no
doubt Canada's politician of the Year with today's outstanding performance.
Further, it has immense
national implications. Nobody in Canada had heard of "the fiscal
imbalance" before Gilles Duceppe's bringing it to the forefront. He must
be given credit for alerting Canadians to this sore point in Quebec. In
turn, Stephen Harper agreed at the time to address the issue and took the first
bold step via last week's Budget amid widespread criticism.
Well, a week later we awake to
a Quebec with a whole new landscape ... one void of the PQ as a viable political
option for the Quebecois. Well done.
Pollster totals were reasonable
correct for the Liberals & PQ; but failed to catch an Election Day move by Green
Party supporters (2.4%) to the ADQ. This was the margin in the three way
races. In BC in 2004, the Green Party vote splits robbed the NDP of
governance. Today, last minute Green Party disloyalty and/or strategic
voting displaced the Opposition. Federalists in the Province of Quebec
have a new home. Tomorrow is the first day of the end of the Secessionist
Movement in Quebec.

March 1st 2007 - Please note
that the TrendLines Federal Riding Projections will re-commence on
April 5th !!
Evalina and i were fortunate to
meet PM Stephen Harper during his visit to the Yukon to open the Canada Winter
Games last month. The PM has cast aside his ideological bias in recent
months to facilitate governance rather than Party preference. It is a
strategy that has untold ramifications wrt gaining new sentiment while
alienating some core support.

Excerpt from L.A. Times, Nov. 8, 1914, authored by Bill Henry:
"Arizona's cactus-fed athletes, despite heroic efforts on the part of their two halfbacks, (Asa) Porter and (Franklin) Luis, went down to defeat before the Occidental Tigers yesterday afternoon, the tally with all precincts heard from being 14 to 0 in favor of the Tigers.
Confident of rolling up a big score, the Tigers took the field with grins on their faces, but before the game was 10 seconds old they knew they had a battle on their hands.
The Arizona men showed the fight of wild cats and displayed before the public gaze a couple of little shrimps in the backfield who defied all attempts of the Tigers to stop them."
This site will conduct a countdown in a 100-day period, leading up to Arizona's 2014 football season-opener with UNLV on Aug. 29 at Arizona Stadium. The 100 Days 'Til Kickoff countdown will include information daily about the historic 1914 Arizona team that helped create the school's nickname of "Wildcats" because of how they played that fateful day against Occidental.
[ezcol_1half id="" class="" style=""]
In this series of the historic 1914 Arizona football team we have learned of the broad-based talents of all of the players, which translated into unprecedented success on the field for first-year coach J.F. "Pop" McKale.
Albert Condron, a junior left tackle, was one of the most distinguished, coming up with the idea of "A" Mountain, serving as an editor of the student newspaper and becoming student body president in 1915-16.
Condron, a civil engineering student, was also an accomplished actor in Arizona's theater group. He and fellow junior teammates Charles Beach and Asa Porter took part in a play titled "Trelawney of the Wells" in the same school year the Varsity became the Wildcats.
The Desert Yearbook gave Condron, Beach and Porter rave reviews.
"A.H. Condron, as James Telfer, handled his part like an 'old hand'".
"C.P. Beach, as Ferdinand Gadd was good. He acted as though he was truly unconscious of an audience."
"Wainwright Randall, as Augustus Colpoys; Asa Porter, as Mr. Ablett, the grocer; and John Hedgpeth, as O'Dwyer, the prompter, furnished the comedy parts and they did a most excellent job of furnishing."
Lawrence Richard Jackson, a 1914 football standout, was part of the play "The Man From Home" conducted by seniors that same school year.

What they were talking about on this day in 1914
Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1914
President Woodrow Wilson attends the burial of his wife Ellen Axson Wilson in Rome, Ga., in a downpour of rain. An Associated Press report of the funeral depicts Wilson as very shaken by the loss of the First Lady, who died from Bright's disease at age 54. "The president stood with his head bowed, as the final rites were performed," the AP report reads. "As he stood there with his daughters, Mr. Wilson made no effort to conceal his grief. As the hushed voice of the preacher read the burial service, the president's form was visibly shaken by emotion and tears streamed down his cheeks. Others of the party wept silently and softly."

Gear 2000: Slalom Race
It was inevitable. Slalom, the last bastion of conservatism in racing, has finally been shaken by the shaped-ski revolution.
The new slalom skis are the turniest, springiest pocket rockets ever made¿radical, to say the least. Some have twice the sidecut depth of conventional slaloms. And they are weeny, with lengths as short as 160 cm for full-grown adults.
Curiously, these new skis weren't invented because top racers were clamoring for them. In fact, the over-30 crowd that sits atop the Men's World Cup slalom standings has been quite content to win races using conventional skis and techniques. No, the new skis came about somewhat by accident, when a few French juniors on experimental shorties came out of nowhere and landed on the podium.
We tested a batch of slalom skis at Breckenridge last April, using a mix of race coaches and ex¿World Cuppers. Like most veterans, our testers were highly skeptical of the tiny skis. But when the results were in, the shorties dusted the conventional boards. "Why work harder to turn a long ski when you can just go dancing on the shorties?" said tester Amy Hedges. You don't need to steer them¿just tip them on edge and let the ski make the turn. And if you make a mistake, they are so maneuverable you can get back on course faster.
In slalom, the magic is back.
Buy this kind of ski if:
you want to bound down the fall line like a pogo stick on amphetamines;
you're looking for maximum maneuverability in a ski;
you want to nuke the competition in a slalom course.Check out our guide to racing skis 2000

CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Thank you. I love that you've set up a 'space' for quiet reflection! Great idea!
Bekka: Oh, what a fantastic idea! I think I'd get the most use out of my One Word reminder if it were in the hall between my kitchen and entrance, right at the bottom of my stairs. It's a high traffic area. :)
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Sounds like a great place to put your OneWord, a place to catch your 'eye' and stay inspired!
Maryanne: On my nightstand, so it's the last thing I see before I go to sleep and the first thing I see when I get up to face the day.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Reflection at the end of the day, and inspiration to start the day. Love.

Karen Davis: I would put it on my desk so I would be sure to see it every day.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Inspiration for every day. Great place!
LuAnn Braley: My first thought was that I'd like it as a necklace. I know. I think my upcycled Scrabble signage would travel around my house each day. It would start off on the shelf in the bathroom, then go to my desk, into the kitchen prior to every meal...get the idea?
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): I think my OneWord will travel around my house this year too - in new places to keep my eye catching it! :)
Tim thurman: My word is "present". I have a shelf right above my desk / computer where it would sit. That would be awesome!
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Great place!!
Heather Bradford: My word is PRAYER and I would like to find a way see it whenever I am interacting with my teenage daughter. Can you make it into a necklace that I could make her wear all the time? She would have to wear it backwards though because it would be most helpful if I saw it whenever she was storming out of the room.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Glad you have a sense of humor! :) My daughter is turning 13 this summer, perhaps I should make another one for her to wear too!? :) I do sell necklaces/charms - but I'm not sure how straight they stay on the chain when there are several charms. I think a bead between them might help, but i haven't tried it yet. :)
Rebecca: I'd put my word LISTEN in my kitchen as that's where I love to be.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): So many sounds to listen to in the kitchen too! :)
Celeste: My word is resilient. This is going to be a year of big changes for me and I know I will tackle them head-on and be successful. And I would put my word on the mirror above my dresser to see every morning as I get myself ready for the day.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Love your positive outlook and perspective as you begin each new day! wishing great things for you this year!
Kelly S: I would put my word--FRESH--in my kitchen to remind me to eat healthy and stay clutter-free.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Love the dual meaning of your word. Kitchen is a great place for your word!.
Jesi Steiber: The mantle. My word is stewardship. For all areas of my life.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Oh the mantle, the focal point of the home, great place to see your word often! love.
kam: I would display my word - Live - in my bedroom or office, depending upon where I am.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): I think my word will move around this year too! :)
Dennis Neville: Thanks so much. I would leave my word - Explore - on my front verandah where I start every day in prayer.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): I love that you have a veranda and a quiet place to pray and reflect!
Darby Wiggins: I chose the word brave because I finally did something brave recently: I listened to God when He told me to leave my job, my home, my family, my friends - my life for the past 10 years for His promise of something greater. And it is indeed greater than I could have dreamed for myself. I want to be brave and trust God's plan for me. I would put the word on my phone/computer screen so when others see it, I can share my story and encourage others to be brave and follow God.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Love your bravery in following God's heart for your life! If you need some encouragement, you might want to follow Lisa's blog: http://www.thecopperanchor.com/ - she defines bravery for me. 2 years ago she left everything behind -- jobs, family, church- and began anew, as God was calling her and her husband to do. Her story is amazing if you ever get to hear it. :) And her writing and photography is simply inspiring!
Becky: My word is nourishment and I would keep it on my bedside table to re-centre me on my word before I got up to start my day.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Nourishment for the soul - great focus! great way to start your day! in this society that can so easy drain so much of us if we aren't intentional about nourishment, love your word.
Sandra at Thistle Cove Farm: Favor, as in God's favor...to remember the breath in my lungs...and beyond...belong to Him and is a gift to me. It's on my blog sidebar but would place the tiles on my computer desk. God bless you, yours and the work of your hands and heart.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Oh yes, how He loves! How he 'favors' His 'kids'! :)
Melissa Spicer: This is a fantastic idea!! My word is growing. I would love to place it on my desk at work. I am a teacher and many times I forget to slow down and live my ONE WORD at work too!!
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Growing your students...and growing you! Love it. :)
Grace: My word would be Reignite. To Reignite my relationship with the Lord, my faith and favour from the Lord. Bless you! Would love to place it on my table where I do my quiet time!
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Love your word! Hope this is a beautiful year for you as you 'reignite' with the Lord!
Laura: My word is "Focus". Ideally, I'd place my ScrabbleTM word on my desk, although my cat would probably try to knock it over, so I will have to think of something better.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Those curious cats! :) I imagine all their mischief can make it hard to focus at times! Best of wishes to you as you seek 'focus' in 2014!
holydoodler: My word is "knit" and I would place it on the pulpit I preach from in church....people would be so curious...I might have to preach a sermon series on the word and its meaning for me....maybe accompanied by all kinds of knitting projects! Sounds like a great plan! I would like my word to be in braille letters and regular letters....similar to my own scrabble game letters.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Knit - you have me intrigued! I love the dual meaning you have...knitting projects and knitting at a heart level too! Hope it inspires you this year in your personal life, and your life behind the pulpit! :)
Erin Conley: I chose the word FOCUS for 2014, because I want to be 'more present' in each of the activities in which I participate. My children and husband and faith and myself all deserve a better, driven, and focused version of myself. I would love one of these scrabble tile displays to put in my 'intention space' where I begin my day.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): I love your word, focus and your desire to be more present in relationships. My word for this year is engage, and has similar meaning for me. I love that you have an 'intention space' to begin your day!
Jen: My word is determined. To keep me on the right path I would display this on my countertop in the dining room. Its our go to place and we use it alot soI would see it several times a day
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Sounds like it would be a great place to remind you of your determination for this coming year!
Tanice Wilson: My word is FLOURISHING and since I started this challenge I've realized just how much of that I've actually done. Saying the word brings a smile to my face and I would love to see it daily on my night stand, right next to my Winnie the Pooh lamp. My lamp reminds me that I have nothing to be bothered by and the tileswill help me focus on growing as a child of God, keeping me thriving and helping me be better person by helping others to flourish!! I love this idea and will be visiting your etsy page!! THANK YOU!!
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): I love your heart and how your word is already transforming you!! Thank you for purchasing 'flourishing' from me - I put it in the mail today!! I hope it makes you smile and inspires you throughout the year!
Vicki: I'd put my word HOLINESS on the table in the lounge where I would see it all the time.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Best of wishes to you as you focus on 'holiness' in 2014!
Suzie Fletcher: My word is balance and I would place it on dining room table, the place where we eat (a more balanced diet?) and where we spend the most time as a whole family unit (work life balance) in between my work commitments (which help to balance the finances!) it would be a timely reminder, morning, noon and night!
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): I love all the multiple meanings of your word, balance! The dining room table sounds like the perfect spot for it!
Natalia McCarthy: I just joined oneword365 and I'm already loving y'all's posts!
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Glad you joined the OneWord365 community - such great encouragement here, isn't there!?

CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): I love your desire to have it on your mind when you wake up and reflect on it as you go to sleep!
Paula Kaye: I would display it right here next to my computer where I spend almost all of my free time. My word is Hope http://smidgensbitsandsnippets.blogspot.com/
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): May this year be a year full of hope for you!
Sheri Bennett: I would put my word "FOCUS" on the bookshelf where I always keep my keys. That way I will be reminded of my mantra as I leave my house AND as I enter into my home. In ministry, my life is full of distractions and I'm too easily pulled away from those areas where God wants me to grow and be refined. I just never seem to get back to meeting my own needs and goals. I have to learn to unplug, turn down, and turn off so that I can focus on HIS will, not mine...or the numerous others who vie for my attention.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): I admire your wisdom in stepping back and focusing on Him and focusing on your own heart and life as well! Being in ministry is rewarding and a blessing to many, but it can also be draining! I also love that you have one place to leave your keys coming and going -- I should find a place like that so I'm not always searching for them! :)
teresa: My word is CONNECT, and I would display the word on my nightstand so that I would see it when I wake up and before bed.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): Great way to begin and end your day - focusing on connection! :)
Paula: I think I would put it on my dresser, so I could see it each morning. My word is Adventure.
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): I hope 2014 is a grand adventure for you!!
Jemelene: On my kitchen window sill! My word is Reconciliation but I could be reminded with reconcile since that would fit!
CelebratingTheMoment (@ScrabbleEtsy): May 2014 be a beautiful year of 'reconciliation' for you! I miss having a kitchen window sill in my current house!
CelebratingTheMoment: And the WINNER IS... Katie (#20) -- I used random.org to generate a number, then counted down entries til I got to #20! Katie, email me @ [email protected] - and I will get your word in the mail! For everyone who did not win (and I've enjoyed reading all your comments -- and I've been trying to get through them to leave comments -- been having some computer issues, sorry!) I am offering 10% discount through Jan 31st with code ONEWORD365 -- Thanks again!
Pam Boone: My word is mindful. I would put it on the table next to my bed to remind me of all the things I was mindful of today and thanking God for all of them! I would see it each morning when I woke, and it would remind of all I need to be be mindful of, my family, my friends, my emotions and ask God to help me each day

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - N.C. State's Cat Barber used an unexpected Sweet 16 berth to take a cutting remark at President Barack Obama.
Barber was caught by TV cameras saying "What ... (is) wrong with Barack Obama" to his teammates in the locker room.
Obama had picked Villanova to reach the NCAA Tournament championship game. But the Wolfpack busted the president's bracket with a 71-68 win over the Wildcats on Saturday night.
Obama correctly guessed that Villanova and N.C. State would each win its first tournament game. He picked Kentucky to win it all.
Barber later tweeted: "Good team win tonight and Yall know I loveeee Obama HONEST!!"

SAN FRANCISCO -- In the opening day keynote of its Build 2016 conference here, Microsoft used the terms "cognitive" and "intelligence" liberally to signal a new direction for the company.
Although the exact wording of the company's goals were a bit different, the tone and sentiment sounded a lot like what IBM Chairman, CEO and President Ginni Rometty talks about when she declares this the "cognitive era" of computing, where IBM, with its Watson cognitive computing system, has taken something of a head start over competitors.
However, not to be outdone, Microsoft has been working on cognitive technology as well in its research groups. At Build, the company introduced a new cloud-based Cortana Intelligence Suite that introduces cognitive technology for developers to use in building systems. Microsoft also announced a preview of its new Bot Framework, which enables organizations to build intelligent agents, known as Bots.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said this is a new era of conversational intelligence that Microsoft is attempting to facilitate, to enable developers to create more personal computing for every customer, business and industry.
Further reading
Nadella debuted Microsoft's vision of Conversations as a Platform as a new emerging platform that is at the intersection of all of Microsoft's major ambitions, including cloud, Office and Windows.
"It's a simple concept, yet it's very powerful in its impact," he said in his keynote. "It is about taking the power of human language and applying it more pervasively to all of our computing -- and to infuse into our computing and our computers, intelligence about us and our context. By doing so, we think this can have as profound an impact as the previous platform shifts have had – whether it be GUI, whether it be the Web or touch or mobile."
In a blog post on the new direction and on the new Cortana Intelligence Suite, Joseph Sirosh, corporate vice president of the Data Group at Microsoft, said Microsoft believes that the most impactful data-driven solutions will go beyond analytics, and will include built-in intelligence that augments an organization's capabilities in exciting new ways.
"Imagine a world, where nurses and doctors use remote monitoring solutions not only to analyze a patient's vitals such as blood pressure, weight and heart-rate, but also to interpret a patient's mood based on speech and tone analysis during a scheduled phone conversation," Sirosh said. "Technology like this could help augment their diagnosis to better predict and prevent emergencies and have real impact on the well-being of the patient.
"Intelligent solutions such as these will not only be accessed via regular websites and mobile applications, but also through intelligent Bots that you can converse with in more contextual and natural ways, he said. "We believe that organizations creating data-driven solutions that utilize the best of big data, cloud and intelligence capabilities will be future industry leaders."
That sounds a great deal like what IBM has been doing with Watson and its Watson Developer Cloud, which runs on IBM's Bluemix cloud platform that features a catalog of more than 140 APIs, tools and services--a vast number of which are devoted to Watson.
"Only three companies have the horsepower to go the distance on this: IBM, Google and Microsoft," said Al Hilwa, an analyst with IDC.
Indeed, at Build, Microsoft announced a preview of Microsoft Cognitive Services, which is a collection of intelligent APIs that allow solutions to see, hear, speak, understand and interpret our needs using natural methods of communication, Sirosh said.
"Cognitive Services expand our existing perceptual intelligence capabilities in areas such as vision, speech, text, recommendations and face detection to include new capabilities like emotion, language understanding and Bing search," he said.
IBM's Watson has all this and more, as IBM's Rometty demonstrated when she took Watson to the Consumer Electronics Show in January.
"IBM definitely had a head start with Watson with the entire industry and was developed first for on-premises use," said Patrick Moorhead, president and principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. "IBM has focused a lot of their efforts into the healthcare and retail vertical. IBM has also moved Watson to XaaS [Anything-as-a-Service], too."
However, "Microsoft got a later start, but Cortana was developed from the ground up to be used 'as a service,' in the cloud, and for developers across Windows and with the Xamarin acquisition, across iOS and Android, too," Moorhead said. "Microsoft gets developers more as this is their business, as IBM's primary business is helping its enterprise customers."

Dreamspinner Presents
Mechanic Jordan Hart is down on his luck, so he gladly accepts a temporary job servicing tractors at a hazelnut farm in Newberg, Oregon. He doesn't expect to be attracted to his boss, Beckett Shaw. Still working on embracing his bisexuality, he's reluctant to start anything, but Beckett's gentle coaxing convinces Jordan to take a risk.
Beckett has vowed not to get involved with anyone until he can restore the Shaw Farms name as a leader in hazelnuts. But there's no denying his interest in the shy mechanic who shows up at his door. Just as they begin to find a balance, outside forces threaten to tear them apart. Job opportunities force Jordan out of the Portland area he loves so much. But when danger comes too close to Beckett, Jordan must decide if he can follow his heart to the Willamette Valley… and straight back to Beckett.
States of Love: Stories of romance that span every corner of the United States
What I like about the States of Love stories is that when they are done well they give me a sense of the beauty of the place. This story did that for me. The descriptions of the beautiful scenery and the pride locals take over their identity. Hazelnuts in this case. I loved the slow burn romance between Jordan and Beckett. Both of them are strong men who need to stand on their own but at the same time can't resist the pull of attraction between them. The only thing is that I didn't really get a good sense of the secondary characters, such as Cory who works for Beckett. It is difficult in a novella to give space for all the characters and I'm more than happy with the main characters. Maybe Cody's time will come in another book later.
I liked the way Jordan and Beckett's relationship develops. There isn't insta love but a building of friendship and trust. This is a yummy (must be the hazelnuts on my mind) low angst love story with a little intrigue to move things along. Perfect for an afternoon escape.

Posted on 08/19/2018 3:30:09 PM PDT by SleeperCatcher
Inflammatory: Michelle Goldberg of The New York Times perfectly embodies why the vast majority of Americans do not trust the mainstream establishment media, let alone her hack rag of a newspaper.
During an appearance on MSNBC Friday, she actually said that POTUS Donald Trump would have no problem rounding people up and murdering them because hes such an authoritarian.
(Excerpt) Read more at thenationalsentinel.com ...
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Sounds like leftist / Antifa projection to me.
Its not do much stupid as it is psychological projection.
Talking about Obama again
That was an Obama/John Holdren science czar thing.
Well, he's worked hard to ensure that all law abiding citizens who want to be armed can be.
That would sort of create a problem for anyone desiring to round people up.
I think there's a Saturday Night Live clip for this woman.
This LibTard Witch has Trump confused with Che...
Wait until they find out that President Trump has replaced their regular coffee with Folger's Decaffeinated Crystals.
AND that President Trump has their hands soaking in Palmolive right now!
President Trump is Colluding with Madge AND the Russians(tm).
Jim never vomits at home!
If he were 5% the "fascist" they claim he is, wouldn't they already be in concentration camps instead of being allowed to run around free and opine on the airwaves? Mao, Kim, Hitler, Castro and Stalin brooked no nonsense from critics, as I recall. Even Presidents Wilson and F. Roosevelt were pretty quick to lock people up and they were both Democrats.
Nothing new. This idiot woman at a temp agency was broken down and crying about how her husband told her that Bush was going to reinstitute slavery after beating Gore, and he would know, since he was a union shop steward.
There isn't anything leftists won't say or do to take control.
What did Lenin Say? Accuse your enemies of doing what you want to do?
In my opinion there can be only one thing going on with articles such as this. The more we win, the nuttier they get. The problem they are creating for themselves is they also become more obvious mental cases.
I had a conversation with a Phd psychologist a couple weeks ago, and asked why some people act like they are truly nuts. Her reply was it's because they are and do not realize it themselves.
Trump has what I consider to be a decent sort of followers. They aren't advocating violence, and their only criticism of others is related to how they conduct themselves.
Take a look at the Leftists. They demand everyone with a differing opinion shut up. They take clubs with them to close down public events.
They try to start fights with people outside Trump rallies.
I could go on, but it's beyond a reasonable doubt that the folks who are acting like true fascists, and Hitler's brown shirts are the Leftists.
Isn't that just about always the case?
The 'nyt' is a little slow. That's old news. Just ask wymun, AAs, Libs, anyone connected to the *gbtqrpxyz crowd, most Hollyweird types. They can all affirm that is the plan. Oh, and if you have ANY medical condition requiring more than asprin. You are probably on the list.
Trump wants to round people up and kill them
Cant wait.
CooCoo!!! What a useless lunatic. She probably will off her self once she realizes her existence is worthless.
Lenin may have said that, I'm not sure, even though I read his biography over 40 years ago.
But I do know it's a direct quote from Saul Alinsky in his book Rules For Radicals.

When I won the tickets I was completely surprised and thought one of my friends was pulling a prank on me! Once I found out that I really did win and my name was on the website I was in complete amazement and really excited. I have only been in the club level one previous time and I remember how sweet it was.
On game day I tailgated under I-395 with neighbors, most of which are Ravens fans and two of which are Bengals fans. Needless to say it was a great time tailgating and talking smack to the Bengals fans! The in-game experience was AWESOME. The view from our seats was great and the excitement level was even better. I really enjoyed my game experience even though the Ravens did not win.
I love playing the Ravens Cash Fantasy scratch-off's. It isn't often you have the chance to turn $5 into $1,000,000 or club level tickets to a Ravens game! I usually buy my tickets from BJ's Wholesale Club in Baltimore. The girls who usually cash my winning tickets were very excited for me and they all wanted to come along!!! All in all it was a great experience at the game and the Ravens Cash Fantasy scratch-off is the way to go.

Robert won two Club Level Single Game Tickets to see the Ravens vs. Bengals on October 11.

Posts for tag: dental hygiene
Florence Henderson, star of one of television's most beloved situation comedies, is still actively engaged in a variety of projects at 75-plus years of age. Her bright smile was part of her character as Carol Brady in The Brady Bunch, a popular sitcom that played for five seasons from 1969 to 1974. Though the show was discontinued, syndicated episodes continue to play in the U.S. and 122 other countries.
"I played Carol as the mother I always wished I had," she told Dear Doctor magazine. Her portrayal of mother and wife in a blended family with six children won her the Smithsonian Institution's TV Land Pop Culture Icon Award, which is on display in the National Museum of American History in Washington, DC.
After her successes on Broadway and in television, she was selected for numerous product endorsements, and The Wall Street Journal ranked her #5 in their top ten television endorsers based on viewer satisfaction. One of the products she endorsed was Polident, a brand of denture cleaners and adhesives. However, Henderson has revealed that she has her own natural teeth and does not wear dentures. Her advice to others who want to keep their natural teeth is to pay attention to prevention. "I think the most important thing one can do as with any health issue is prevention," she said. "Flossing, brushing, and regular dental checkups are vitally important if you want to keep your natural teeth."
When she was 22, she says, she had four impacted wisdom teeth removed at the same time. This experience made her aware of the importance of dental care, and since then she has had a checkup every six months. Wherever she travels, she says that she always has mouthwash, dental floss, toothpaste, and a toothbrush on the set.

Nate Berkus, author, interior designer and host of his own television program, The Nate Berkus Show, is a consummate professional who has always focused on "helping others love the way they live," as he puts it. Berkus is known as one of America's most beloved go-to-guys for inspiration on the latest design trends. And then there is his captivating smile.
In an exclusive interview with Dear Doctor magazine, Berkus discusses his trademark smile. Unlike most people in Hollywood, his smile is totally natural — he never wore braces or had any cosmetic work. However, Berkus does give credit to his childhood dentist for the preventative healthcare he received as a young boy. Berkus states, "I'm grateful for having been given fluoride treatments and sealants as a child. Healthy habits should start at a young age."
As for his oral hygiene routine today, Berkus says he brushes his teeth at least two times a day, and sometimes three times a day. Berkus is also an avid "flosser" and follows the important flossing advice he learned from his dentist: "Floss the ones you want to keep."
In addition to his design expertise, Berkus is right on the mark with his opinions on oral hygiene. In fact, he inspired our office to put together the following list of facts and oral health tips:
- The first step in improving your oral health is to learn good oral hygiene behavior. Simply put, to maintain optimal oral health, you must brush and floss properly so that you thoroughly remove the dental plaque.
- The second step is a thorough evaluation system. We are a key part of this step. During your next office visit, we can conduct a thorough examination, review your brushing and flossing techniques, examine the health of your tongue and discuss any questions you have. We can also clean your teeth and ensure that you leave our offices confident with your new oral hygiene routine. And if you don't have an appointment, contact us today to schedule one.
