Cross-Platform Development: Challenges & Opportunities
Creating one app that works on all platforms is quite a tempting endeavour. Adjust it to every platform you plan to cover, and to all devices you want to cover, which takes much less time than going native anyway, and there you have it! Right? Not really.
If the cross-platform was that much universal, native development would have gone out of business. Yet software owners thoughtfully launch apps crafted with PhoneGap, and keep their users more than satisfied. User groups can have the choice between iOS and Android as just a personal preference. They may have an Android smartphone beside them on the table, yet they'd prefer to use an iPad to access the same app sitting having a lunch in a café. Thus, the multiplatform is a good choice for those who know its pros and cons, its challenges and the opportunities it offers.
Opportunity: Reduced costs, less time required, and unified marketing. The obvious pro that outweighs many cons taken together.
Challenge: Since mobile platforms are completely different, from typical navigation controls to general philosophies, use the correct design approach. Great designs must be natural for each covered platform – not identical.
Opportunity: See whether PhoneGap is a good solution for your project. It's one of the most widespread technologies for cross-platform development, makes use of JavaScript/HTML5 development tools, which allow your developers to do the job fast and easy, with average code reuse approaching 97-99%.
Challenge: New mobile devices emerge on the market continuously. Not only you have to ensure great user experience from the beginning, the app should be fit for new devices with new OS versions, better screens, and performance capabilities. Your software is easily adapted to different sizes and resolutions, aspect ratios, and orientations.
Opportunity: Functional strength and performance of JavaScript/HTML5-based apps is already at an advanced level. They incorporate native capabilities of mobile platforms. They consume less energy on mobile devices. HTML and CSS obviously aren't going away in the observable future.
Challenge: You must look for a company that has experience in the multiplatform. They know how to create software with inherently optimized performance, and what tools to use. Most of the talk about bad performance of cross-platform apps appear owing to poorly built examples with non-optimized DOM structures, unsuitable image scaling, bad handling of long lists of items, etc. What's the result of the right approach? The smooth UX that your users are looking for.
Opportunity: Multiplatform apps can be both deployed/viewed in browsers as web apps and distributed/monetized as native ones. They are easier deployed and have decent support for cloud services.
Challenge: Advantages and flexibilities of one mobile OS may be missing on another one. The more complex your business logic is, the harder it is for multiplatform implementation and integrations.
Opportunity: There's plenty of cross-platform frameworks, plugins, modules, and toolkits that extend the functionality of your software. Some of them, like RAD.js by MobiDev, allows to enhance performance as well.
Challenge: Every time a feature is added/modified in native development tools, it has to be reflected in the cross-platform ones, and the code of your app will have to be adjusted as well. Such updates for the multi-platform lag behind those for the native.
Opportunity: The multiplatform is a good solution for enterprise and BYOD. Your employees will be easier to satisfy than any niche of the global user audience.
Challenge: Limited graphics and 3D capabilities. That's why for most mobile games native development is currently the only way.
We can't deny the fact that major players on the market can afford to stick to developing separate native apps for every platform. But in the case of startups that only start growing, multiplatform software can be the best place to start. And if you need a technical specialist for your own project, please contact us and we'll be glad to consult you.

If you are referred for your first outpatient appointment then in most cases you have the right to choose which hospital in England to go to. This will include many private and NHS hospitals that provide services to the NHS.
You are also able to choose which consultant-led team will be in charge of your treatment, as long as that team provides the treatment you require.
Therefore, if you wish to be treated by a particular consultant for a procedure, you can choose to have your first outpatient appointment at the hospital where the consultant works, and to be treated by that consultant's team – but this doesn't necessarily mean you'll be seen by the consultant themselves.
This choice is a legal right, if you are not offered a choice at the point of referral, ask your doctor why and say that you wish to go through your options. If you are still not offered, or refused, a choice, contact your local Clinical Commission Group.

By plane
Travel with ease to Puerto Vallarta by taking plane. You'll find yourself landing at the Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport (IATA: PVR) located in between Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta. There are US airlines serving the airport together with Aeromexico. The airport has been remodeled to facilitate better service but there still are instances that more than two flights land so some airlines may need to wait. You can take buses bound for the city if you happen to pack lightly.
By private transportation
Puerto Vallarta also has pre-arranged transportation fom the airport to the hotel where you're booked. All you need to do is contact a private transport company by phone or online to make necessary arrangements.
By car
Driving by car is also an option since there are modern and nicely maintained toll roads all the way from the border. You may not have luck on the condition of other roads but they still are suitable for the drive.
By boat
Day trips from the Marina is not a problem since there are a lot of party boats that leave its coast and some have stops in various beaches. You can also go horsebackriding and visit a waterfall south of Puerto Vallarta. Cruise ships loaded with tourists from the US and Europe dock in the city's main port for a day.
By bus
North of the airport is the main bus station. This is a bit far to the north of town. If you want to go to the city, you need to take a local bus or taxi. You can catch a bus by going through the bus station exit and walking across the parking area. City buses stop at a corner to your right. Buses you see there can take you all the way down to the "Romantic Zone" which costs 5.50 pesos fo0r the half-hour drive. Taking the bus is an opportune time to mingle with the locals and to get a good view of the town.

Anti-ageing has been a beauty buzzword for decades, with some turning to extreme measures to tackle premature ageing.
Before you turn to the scalpel, find out what external lifestyle factors could be causing your skin to age prematurely, and more importantly – what you can do about it.
Smoking restricts the flow of oxygen to the skin by as much as 30% which leads to the breakdown of collagen. Collagen helps our skin retain its elasticity, so when this breaks down, your skin is more likely to sag and wrinkle.
What you can do about it
We hate to sound like captain obvious here, but quitting smoking is the only way to avoid this. Don't hesitate to visit your doctor to find out what support you can get while you quit, your body and your skin will thank you for it.
Sun damage
Experts agree that as well as increasing your risk of developing skin cancer, too much exposure to the sun can cause your skin to age prematurely.
What you can do about it
Avoid over-sunning yourself on holiday and remember – the sun can damage you here in the UK too! Always use a sun cream that contains an SPF with both UVA and UVB protection and stay in the shade when the sun is at its hottest (usually 12:00 – 4:00PM).
The motion of running can cause the skin to be pulled from certain facial muscles, increasing the chance of sagging.
What you can do about it
Running is a fantastic way to stay healthy, so there's certainly no need to stop. Instead look to mix up your running routine with other exercises like spinning or strength-based workouts. You should also bolster your skincare regime with targeted products; we love Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream (£42).
Too much sugar in your diet speeds up the breakdown of collagen. This happens because of a process called glycosylation, which speeds up the degradation of collagen and elastin.
What you can do about it
Look at your diet and cut down on the amount of sugar you eat. A good way to do this is to avoid any foods that list sugar as one of the top three ingredients. Eating plenty of nutrient-rich foods instead will support collagen production and help counteract the ageing process.
To find out how a dermatologist may be able to help you avoid premature ageing, please read our fact-sheet on dermatology.

Forty years after it opened as the headquarters of the Rouse Company, the iconic white stucco building on Columbia's Lakefront will officially welcome a new tenant: Whole Foods Market.
On Aug. 20, the successful grocery chain, which prides itself on its healthful offerings, will open its 44th store in the mid-Atlantic region — and its first in Howard County. The opening follows an extensive renovation of the landmark building, during which the lower level was gutted and the bottom two floors transformed into one.
About 50,000 square feet in size, the store will include the usual Whole Foods offerings of organic and local produce, store-brand products, a café and an array of bars featuring olives, pickles and pasta, to name a few of the offerings.
But it also will include a couple of unusual features geared to its relatively affluent, health-conscious neighborhood. These include popsicles made from cold-press fruit juices; a vegetarian diner that will offer everything from vegan crab cakes to vegetarian tacos; and a do-it-yourself body-care section that will provide customized shampoos, oils and lotions.
"Every store is unique, depending on the community," Svetlana Piskounova, who will manage the store as store team leader, said during a tour of the soon-to-open store last week. "We've gotten a good sense that people here care a lot about the health of their family. Knowing that, we think what we're offering will be a good fit for this community."
The store is due to open at 9 a.m. following a brief "bread-breaking ceremony" (Whole Foods' version of a ribbon-cutting) and remarks from company executives and County Executive Ken Ulman.
"I'm super-excited," Piskounova said. "We're ready for this, and I think the community is ready for us."
'It fits the space'
The Rouse Building was designed by architect Frank Gehry at the start of his storied career and has long been considered one of Columbia's seminal buildings. But in recent years, it fell into disrepair.
"The building was falling apart, frankly," said John DeWolf, senior vice president for development of the Howard Hughes Corp., which owns the building. "It was kind of collapsing in on itself. The roof leaked everywhere."
DeWolf said Hughes, which has put the building up for sale, spent $25 million to gut the building and "prop it back up." He said the company "needed a commercial engine in the form of a lease to support that expenditure."
He also conceded that a museum would have been his first choice for the building, but that Whole Foods has built "a spectacular store. The graphics are off the scale. … It really fits the space.
"It almost looks like we designed it for them, it looks so great," DeWolf said. "Their sign on the front just feels perfect."
Gehry could not be reached for comment. But DeWolf said the architect has said that, while he also would have preferred a museum in the space, he was happy to see the building survive.
"He said if this is what keeps this building together, then so be it," DeWolf said.
County Executive Ken Ulman said Whole Foods has led to "a new vibrancy and life all around Downtown Columbia." He pointed to the renovated Clyde's, expanded Columbia mall and a $19 million commitment to improve Merriweather Post Pavilion.
"Something special is going on in Downtown Columbia," Ulman said in an email response to a question. "Whole Foods is proving to be the ideal fit and the perfect re-use for the iconic Frank Gehry-designed former Rouse Company headquarters building."
Last-minute touches
At the former Rouse Company headquarters last week, scores of Whole Foods workers were busy making sure the store will be ready for opening day.
Most of the signs were in place, including the typical Whole Foods signs explaining how they rate their fish and meat for humane treatment and environmental concerns.
The shelves in the store's middle were well stocked with canned and dry goods. But around the store perimeter, the bins and counters that will sell fresh meat and fish and produce were still empty, a concession to freshness.
The bakery shelves also were largely empty, but bakery coordinator Gerard Partoens was happy to detail what customers could expect.
"We'll have a whole 35 [counter] feet of breads and pastries and muffins and rolls — an enormous amount of variety in one lineup," Partoens said. "It'll have a really awesome feel. We've never done it that long."
The bakery also will feature gourmet ice cream cakes, he said, and 80 to 90 types of more traditional cookies.
Nearby, in the body-care department, whole body team leader Camden Ramsay was similarly effusive about the do-it-yourself component of her section.
"It's going to be awesome," she said. "It's really an opportunity for people to customize the body care that they use. We're going to have almost like a menu board, so they can come in and say, 'Hey, I'd like to get a facial cream with rose-hip oil,' and we just make it for them right on the spot, totally from scratch."
In her tour, Piskounova took special pains to point out such Columbia-tailored features as the vegetarian diner — "our pride and joy" — and the café seating area overlooking Lake Kittamaqundi.
"The community piece is very important to us," Piskounova said. "The way we design the store and how we merchandise it, what we offer — it's all catered to the community we're in.
Latest Columbia
"Kittamaqundi stands for gathering place," she added, "so we're trying to embody it here. From the cooking classes to the store design to all the things we're doing in the community, we try to embody that mission here."

Maxim's of Interest that apply to Fathers Rights
An established principle or proposition. A principle of law universally admitted, as
being just and consonant With reason.
Maxims in law are somewhat like axioms in geometry. 1 Bl. Com. 68. They are
principles and authorities, and part of the general customs or common law of the
land; and are of the same strength as acts of parliament, when the judges have
determined what is a maxim; which belongs to the judges and not the jury. Terms do
Ley; Doct. & Stud. Dial. 1, c. 8. Maxims of the law are holden for law, and all other
cases that may be applied to them shall be taken for granted. 1 Inst. 11. 67; 4 Rep.
See 1 Com. c. 68; Plowd. 27,
The application of the maxim to the case before the court, is generally the only
difficulty. The true method of making the application is to ascertain bow the maxim
arose, and to consider whether the case to which it is applied is of the same
character, or whether it is an exception to an apparently general rule.
The alterations of any of the maxims of the common law are dangerous. 2 Inst. 210.
The following are some of the more important maxims.
Regula pro lege, si deficit lex. In default of the law, the maxim rules.
[FROM: Bouvier's 1856 Law Dictionary]
A communi observantia non est recedendum. From common
observance there should be no departure; there must be no
departure from common usage. A maxim formerly applied to the
practice of the courts, to the ancient and established forms
of pleading and conveyancing, and to professional usage
generally. Lord Coke applies it to common professional
opinion. [Blacks Law, 6th Ed.]

Some of my favorite dishes are those that were inspired by leftovers. This may be in part to the satisfaction that comes with being able to inventively transform one dish into another thus saving time and eliminating waste, both virtuous by-products of this transformation. But perhaps another reason is that this process is sort of like alchemy – turning the unfinished remains from one night into the star of the following night's meal.
Well, after the delicious risotto that Kareem and I enjoyed I already had in mind what I would do with the leftovers. I'd seen Giada De Laurentiis do it once on her show and I had the luxury of enjoying them in Italy too: arancini. These are crispy golden orbs that are filled with the creamy risotto of your choice (in this case mushroom) and nestled in the center a gooey surprise of fresh mozzarella. The Italian name for these, 'arancini' means little oranges – something that these treats loosely resemble in appearance. These are incredibly easy to prepare and they make for a delicious snack or appetizer.
- Leftover risotto (you can make as many or as few as your leftovers will allow)
- 1 egg (This was enough for 5 balls that fit into the palm of my hand – about the size of a small clementine)
- 1 Tablespoon of water
- 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs (I used plain panko bread crumbs – panko are the Japanese-style crumbs and they are available at most grocery stores now)
- 1 ball of fresh mozzarella, cubed into small 1cm sized pieces
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
1) Take some of the risotto and form a small ball in the palm of your hand – roughly the size of a clementine. Insert a piece of the fresh mozzarella into the center of the ball and roll the ball so that it's uniform in shape and the mozzarella is hidden in the center. Make as many of these balls as your leftovers allow.
2) Crack the egg in a dish and whisk well – add a tablespoon of water. Prepare another dish with the bread crumbs. Now taking each ball one at a time dip them into the egg mixture – allow the excess to drip off and then roll into the bread crumb mixture so they are evenly coated.
3) Heat a sautee pan over medium to high heat and add the olive oil. When the pan is hot add the balls and rotate them once each side turns golden brown. Once they are done let them rest for a few minutes on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

The Mosaic Covenant (named after Moses), also known as the Sinaitic Covenant (named after the biblical Mount Sinai), refers to a biblical covenant between God and the biblical Israelites, including their proselytes.[1][2] The establishment and stipulations of the Mosaic Covenant are recorded in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which are traditionally attributed to Mosaic authorship and collectively called the Torah, and this covenant is sometimes also referred to as the Law of Moses or Mosaic Law or the 613 Mitzvot.
In the Hebrew Bible, God established the Mosaic Covenant with the Israelites after he saved them from slavery in Egypt in the events of the Exodus. From it is derived the 613 commandments.
The Mosaic Covenant played a role in defining the Israelite kingdom (c.1220-c.930 BCE), and subsequently the southern Kingdom of Judah (c.930-c.587 BCE) and northern Kingdom of Israel (c.930-c.720 BCE), and Yehud Medinata (c.539-c.333 BCE), and the Hasmonean Kingdom (140-37 BCE), and the Bar Kokhba revolt (132-136 CE), and Rabbinic Judaism c.2nd century to the present.
Rabbinic Judaism[3] asserts that the Mosaic covenant was presented to the Jewish people and converts to Judaism (which includes the biblical proselytes) and does not apply to Gentiles, with the notable exception of the Seven Laws of Noah which apply to all people.
The Mosaic Covenant, which Christians generally call the "Old Covenant", in contrast to the New Covenant, has played an important role in the shaping of Christianity and been the source of serious dispute and controversy since its inception, such as Jesus' expounding of the Law during his Sermon on the Mount, the circumcision controversy in early Christianity, and the Incident at Antioch which has led scholars to dispute the relationship between Paul of Tarsus and Judaism. The Book of Acts recorded that after the ascension of Jesus, that as the first Christian martyr Stephen was killed in a controversy over which he was accused of speaking against the Jerusalem Temple and the Mosaic Law, Act 6:8-14. Later, in Acts 15:1-21, the Council of Jerusalem addressed the circumcision controversy in early Christianity.

Children's Program
Every Sunday, we have a young children's program, currently suitable for ages 4 to 10 or so. For the past 18 months or so, the programming was focused on materials from the Unitarian Universalist Association. We use materials from the Tapestry of Faith Program with themes drawn from programs for children grades K-4. Usually we work with a mix of music, games, crafts, stories and related activities.
Children start off at the 'upstairs' service with the full congregation and when the collection is taken they head downstairs for the Children's programming. Parents and older children are welcome to attend for all or part of the children's program, or not to attend, as they wish.
Children's Program Coordinator
We have a part-time Children's Program Coordinator who is present every Sunday, and adult volunteers assist as required.

Using $.Deferred to Group AJAX Requests
I am working on a project that contains a lot of charts. Since the data driving the charts could take some time to load I am making each chart load asynchronously using jQuery's ajax functions.
This has worked great, but I noticed that some of the charts are using the same dataset, just charted differently causing the same data to be requested multiple times from the server. One way to handle the duplicate requests is to use the jQuery Deferred Object when making requests.
In order to group the requests together I needed a way to determine
if I already have one just like the request going through. To make
this simple I used a MD5 library
JSON.stringify() to create a hash of the data that I am
sending to the server.
If the hash is unique then I add a deferred object and make the ajax call. Otherwise, I bind to the previous deferred object and wait for the request to finish. Since we are using the jQuery Deferred object the callback will still have the data even if there is a gap between the original ajax request.
Here is a simplified example:

After our conference call today, here's a summary of the current situation of what I've been working on, as well as the direction this aspect of the project is going:
The past couple weeks, I've been working on hiding references to packages (in the project explorer, as well as buttons and menus that allow the user to create a new package).
The concept that is being discussed is that we don't want the user to work in Java Lite for the first month or so of their course, then come to the point where they switch to the regular Java perspective and become overwhelmed by the sudden presence of many tools they have not been introduced to.
Idea 1: Divide the Java Lite perspective into levels (beginner, intermediate, etc…) that determine which tools and aspects of Eclipse or visible and which are still hidden. The user would be able to choose their level depending on what they feel comfortable with at the time. The possible levels would be available through the welcome screen (and through a menu somewhere as well?). There's still the task of deciding what's considered a basic tool meant for "beginner" users, what's one step up from that, for "intermediate" users, and so on.
Idea 2: The program learns what should and shouldn't be displayed over time based on the user's activity. If they are beginning to use certain tools, perhaps the next level of those tools, or others that might also be useful, should be visible from then on. To avoid new aspects of the perspective suddenly appearing at seemingly random intervals, perhaps a window pops up when the user seems to be ready to learn about a new tool or concept, explaining where it is and what it's used for (is this along the lines of a tutorial?). Similar to Idea 1, there's the task of deciding at what pace new tools are brought to the user's attention, and in what order. I think this would be based on what the user is already using, and how often.
Based on Idea 2, Wayne proposed in Bug 299965 that the default package should always be hidden. If the project has an explicitly made package though, it should be visible. Likewise, if only one source folder is present, it should be hidden, but if more than one exist, they should be visible as well. This is to preserve the project structure the user or someone else (for example, a teacher), may have intended, while still simplifying the hierarchy where possible.
That about sums up what's been discussed on this topic.
The conference call replaced our weekly meeting this week.

I'm going to list all of the players below (in no particular order), and then I'll give my opinions after that.
I'd like to hear what you think, so please leave a comment, or you can send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Here we go!
25-player protected roster:
G - Michael Bitzer ('93)
G - Jackson Teichroeb ('92 - overager) (Import)
D - Paul Ladue ('92 - overager)
D - Mike McKee ('93)
D - Zach Frye ('94)
D - Austin Yano ('93) (Import)
D - Justin Woods ('94)
D - Zack Pittman ('95)
D - Vincent Muto ('93)
D - Charlie Donlin ('93)
F - Dominik Shine ('93)
F - Zach Aston-Reese ('94)
F - Luke Johnson ('94)
F - Tommy Schutt ('93)
F - Vinni Lettieri ('95)
F - Brad Hawkinson ('94)
F - Bob Kinne ('92 - overager)
F - Will Suter ('92 - overager)
F - Eric Scheid ('92 - overager)
F - David Parrottino ('94)
F - Ross Olsson ('94)
F - Jake Wood ('93)
F - Brent Wold ('93) (Import)
F - Michael Bunn ('94)
F - Michael Neville ('93) (Import)
14-player affiliate list:
F - Max Coatta ('94)
F - Garrett Brossart ('94)
F - Max Humitz ('95)
F - Charles Guevremont ('95)
D - Parker Reno ('95)
D - Stuart Pomeroy ('95)
F - Sean Malone ('95)
F - Michael McCarron ('95)
F - Ryan Norman ('96)
F - Tyler Nanne ('96)
F - Gordie Helmuth ('96)
D - Jack Walker ('96)
D - Michael Prapavessis ('96)
D - Daniel Willett ('96)
***EDIT*** Eric Scheid's name was originally accidentally left off the protected list on the Lincoln Stars' website, but his name was included on the protected list submitted by Lincoln to the USHL. His name has been added to the list above and to the Stars' website. Logan Smith's name was removed from the protected list posted on the Stars' website. That has been changed above also. All in all, still five overagers protected by the Stars: one goalie, one defenseman and three forwards.***
Speaking of the overagers (players born in 1992), the Stars have protected five of them above. Each USHL team can protect a maximum of four overagers next season, so one of those five (Teichroeb, LaDue, Scheid, Kinne, Suter) will have to be cut before the start of the 2012-13 regular season. A lot can happen to the roster between now and then, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if the overager "problem" gets sorted out before the Fall Classic rolls around in late September. If it doesn't, then all five of the '92's will have three games at the Fall Classic to impress the coaches one more time.
Of the 39 total players I listed in my roster prediction article, I only missed two players (Bob Kinne and Charles Guevremont) compared to the list released by the Stars. 37 correct out of 39. Not a bad ratio. Kinne making the protected roster does not surprise me at all. He is a returning vet and looked great at tryout camp. I just assumed the Stars would protect four overagers and not five. Charles Guevremont is a draft pick from Quebec, Canada who also looked very good at camp. I had heard some rumors that he was considering the QMJHL, so I did not include him in my predictions. Guevremont is considered an "import" in the eyes of the USHL, and with only four imports spots available on the roster, it might be difficult for him to make the team. We'll have to wait and see how that goes.
Players listed in my prediction article but not on the official roster above are C.J. Smith and Craig Skudalski. C.J. Smith was a NAHL veteran who looked good at camp, but he was also a free agent. To be honest, my inclusion of Smith was a bit of a guess on my part. Sometimes it can be difficult to make the team as a free agent. Skudalski was a draft pick who looked good at times at camp, but apparently the Stars wanted to move in a different direction.
Not on the protected or affiliate roster is draft pick Louie Nanne ('94). No big surprise here. Louie was at Lincoln's tryout camp this past June with his younger brother Tyler (who is on the affiliate roster). Louie will play next season for the Penticton Vee's of the BCHL. It would have been nice to have Louie on the roster, but apparently he felt the BCHL was a better fit for him than the USHL. Good luck to him in the future.
The Stars likely moved some players they think have a good shot at making the final roster next season to their affiliate list to be able to protect them, so I wouldn't be too concerned about a certain player being on the affiliate list. I have a good feeling that some of those players listed above on the affiliate list will be playing in Lincoln next season, especially players such as Max Humitz and Daniel Willett. Each USHL team has to shuffle players around to either of the two rosters to be able to protect them from other USHL clubs. Lincoln will likely bring close to 30 players to the Fall Classic tournament in Sioux City, Iowa in September, so more than just the 25 players listed above will get their opportunity to impress the coaches one more time. After the Fall Classic, the Stars will cut down to 23 players, and that group of 23 will start the 2012-13 regular season.
Thoughts on the roster? Are there any names you expected to see protected that weren't? Anyone you are particularly excited to see next season? I'd love to hear your opinions. Comments are wide open! You do not need to register to leave a comment, but BT and I will moderate each comment before it is posted. Thanks.

In the areas around Aigle, Leysin and Col des Mosses, cyclists power through spectacular scenery on these legendary roads. Bikes eat up the kilometres at a slower rate so cyclists have time to absorb the exceptional panorama whilst getting an adrenalin surge from the sheer physical effort of the ride.
It's not by chance that the Tour de Romandie has finished several times in Leysin already, that the Prologue has come through Aigle or even that the « Great Loop » of the Tour de France has come over the Col des Mosses on more than one occasion.
The roads from the valley to the mountains are a vast playing field. With calf muscles in overdrive, amateur and experienced riders clock up the kilometres on steep gradients for the optimal training workout.
For a simple ascent or for the legendary loop taking in the 3 mountain passes of Col des Mosses, Col du Pillon and Col de la Croix, these regional roads require an effort equally as magnificent as the surrounding landscapes. Once at the finish line, the reward lies in the sublime alpine panorama.

We believe that as a credit union, we can positively impact the communities in which we serve. As a not-for-profit cooperative, the money we earn is returned back to our members in the form of great rates and low fees, while a bank's profits are generated for the interests of its shareholders.
We offer the same access to smart technology, products, and services that other financial institutions do, with one major difference: We do so with our members' best interests in mind.
Anyone in Washington State can join!
Harborstone began in 1955 as McChord Federal Credit Union, serving airmen on McChord Air Force Base who each owned one $5 share of the credit union. From our modest beginnings, we have always existed for the betterment of our members and community. In 1996, the credit union opened its field of membership and changed its name to Harborstone Credit Union so that more people could benefit from membership. Changing our name helped clarify that anyone in Washington State can join, not only those who are associated with the Air Force.
In 2013, we combined forces with Prevail Credit Union (founded in 1940 as King County Employees Credit Union), which allowed us to provide more branch locations, access to the CO-OP ATM and Shared Branching networks, and a stronger credit union for our combined membership.
Most recently, in 2016, we brought TULIP Cooperative Credit Union (founded in 2002) under our wing. With a shared mission to strengthen our communities through financial counseling, it was an effort that has allowed us to serve our existing members better, with access to products and resources that were not available previously, and to improve our communities through empowering people by welcoming them back into the banking system.
Harborstone wants you to get the most out of your membership. That's why we offer tools that help you maximize your rewards and minimize your fees. Why bank with a financial institution that sounds good when you can bank with one that IS good?
Anyone in Washington State can join Harborstone Credit Union. Come visit us at one of our branch locations in King, Pierce, or Thurston County, or apply for membership online.
Harborstone Credit Union is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial organization governed by a Board of Directors. The Board is composed of active members of the credit union who are selected by the membership through a democratic election process. Each member of the credit union who meets eligibility requirements specified in our bylaws is permitted to vote in the annual election process. All members are given one vote in the election without preference to the amount of funds they have on deposit with the credit union.
The Supervisory Committee oversees the credit union governance, internal controls, and compliance with appropriate laws, rules, and regulations.
As a member, you are a part owner of Harborstone. Our annual reports include an overview of the highlights of the past year as well as a comparison with the year before. See how we've been doing.

Thank you Dare Crackers for sponsoring this post. Get summer party ready with Dare Crackers – your friends will thank you!
Summer time is the best, isn't it? I love waking up to sunshine and being able to be outside for most, if not all of the day.
Our home has a large sunporch and it is the best place to hang out in the summer. It is a cozy area with comfy chairs, pillows, quilts (for cooler evenings) and the best part is that it is right next to the grilling area!
Grilling happens often in my home. We love to throw pretty much anything on the grill. Heck, I am so crazy about grilling that I even grill when there is snow on the ground.
Having friends over for a great meal is the best. I love chatting with my friends and watching their kids play games in the back yard. We often will play board games or card games while waiting on the main dish to be ready.
Of course, all of this chatting or game playing makes a person hungry (at least it does me!). I always want to make sure my family and my company have something great to snack on while waiting for the main course.
Cheese and crackers are one of the first things I put out for guest to snack on. I like to use the best crackers I can find. I have been using Dare Crackers for years and find they are the best cracker for any topping that I make. Dare Crackers have so many varieties of crackers, I know I can find one that will be perfect for any topping.
I created a new spread recipe that my loves. Jalapeño Cheese Spread is easy to make and is perfect on top of crackers. My family loves to eat foods with a little heat. I have grilled jalapeños for this spread, but this time, I decided to go with chopped jalapeños.
If you want to make this spread and have a little time, grill the peppers is best.
How to make Jalapeño Cheese Spread – don't worry, it is easy!
Jalapeño Cheese Spread
Easy to make and so good with crackers or chips.
- 3 jalapeños , sliced open and seeded
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 clove garlic , chopped
- 1 cup grated Mexican cheese blend
Slice jalapeños open, remove stem and seeds. Then chop.
Beat cream cheese and garlic until blended.
Add jalapeño, cheese and blend.
I am sure your family will love this recipe. So will your company. Jalapeño Cheese Spread will be one of the recipes that is most requested for your next get together.
You can make this recipe in the morning. Remember, the longer it sits the hotter it will get. The juice from the jalapeño will spread throughout the cheese mixture. I love it hot, but you and your family may not.
