Hosts Steph and Victoria are wonderful and they do a great job with Snowed Inn. It's inexpensive for the area, simple, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast is not gourmet, but it's much better than hotel breakfast buffets and includes make your own waffles.

This last trip was my 5th stay at Snowed Inn and the first time in the Summer. There isn't much to critique about the place other than it is one of the cleanest and most friendly places you can stay in the Killington Area. I go for the homemade cookies/brownies, outdoor hot tub, and mini breakfast where you can sit out in the sun room by the owners skiing trophies. You can't go wrong any time of the year.

This was our first time at Snowed Inn but we will definitely be back. The inn itself is a really nice building, welcoming from the moment we stepped inside. There is a fireplace, plenty of books and games and an area with tables for gathering, as well as an outdoor hot tub. It's far enough from the main street that there was no traffic or noise to speak of. We were greeted with fresh baked cookies and shown the room, which was cozy but clean. The staff were very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about skiing and mountain sports. Breakfast in the morning started bright and early at 7:30 and was delicious, it also included a report of snow conditions at Killington. This was a great place to stay and an excellent value, we will definitely be back!

I love the Snowed Inn and have returned several times. I have watched it blossom and grow . The Innkeepers are charming and treat everyone as special guests. Their knowledge, experience and warmth make your stay the absolute best ever. Can't wait for my next stay!

My husband and I so enjoyed our August weekend at Snowed Inn! Don't let anyone tell you that Vermont is only fun in the fall or in the winter. We enjoyed hiking, a local play, kayaking and just enjoying the green scenery. The Innkeepers shared great information about the area. The Inn was the perfect place to stay. Enough privacy for us to enjoy being together and a great dead of friendliness when we were in the public areas. Breakfast was casual and easy to enjoy at our pleasure,

More than a lovely getaway, the Snowed Inn in Killington, VT is a rare find in today's commercial landscape. First impression? It has heart. It's beautiful, outside and inside. From the beautifully maintained exterior and grounds to our well-appointed and immaculate room, we felt the personal touch invested in making our stay comfortable and enjoyable in every way. Topped off with just the right amount of genuine hospitality, we found the inn to be warm and welcoming in the most respectful way. We would have liked to stay longer than the three days we had, but it's on our list to come back to, even though it's a long trip from Colorado.

We stayed at the snowed in Oct 2011. Room was great, inn is cozy. Has a nice buffet breakfast with waffles, bagels, boiled eggs, toast, fruit, cereal, etc. The host was great. Welcoming and friendly but not intrusive. Very enjoyable and good value. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

First time back to Vermont in 30 years and it was as beautiful as we remembered. The Snowed Inn was a cozy retreat for our weekend adventure. Great location at the base of Killington and only minutes from Woodstock and Rutland. Atmosphere, owners and staff were great. The perfect place to slow down, talk story and enjoy life with friends and family.

I stayed at the Snowed Inn during the fall foliage season in 2008. The inn itself was beautiful... wonderfully decorated, and very clean. Although I loved the inn, and the room we stayed inn, I wasn't too fond of the location. It's only steps away from a main road, and although noise traffic wasn't an issue, I was hoping for something a little more secluded. Also, the breakfast was less than stellar. Of course there were bagels, and cereal and fruit, but don't expect a freshly cooked gourmet breakfast like you find in most B&B's and country inns. In fact, after our first breakfast at the Snowed Inn, the next two mornings, we ate breakfast out. The innkeeper was VERY friendly and full of information, and I would HIGHLY recomend this in to friends and family, but because of the location and poor breakfasts, more than likely, I wouldn't stay there again.
4.6 on October 02, 2011
We arrived weeks after hurricane Irene, and the major roads to the Inn were all open, so it was quite an easy drive from Burlington airport to Killington. The Inn and the Innkeepers couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. We stayed for 4 days and three nights, during peak foliage season. What a spectacular time of year to visit VT. The Inn itself is nestled back off the main road and has this great apple tree out front that was just overflowing with apples ready for the picking. Once you get inside it feels as though I'm staying with my very good friends or family the whole weekend. The gathering room was my favorite room and the place where we spent all of our down time, eating and relaxing, catching up and just enjoying our time together. The room also has cozy chairs and a double sided fireplace, that I'm sure in the winter seasons, makes you never want to go outside. I can just picture myself drinking hot cocoa, relaxing by the fire, reading a great book. Definitely make yourself a waffle in the morning for breakfast, they are quite delicious! Of course the rooms are very nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. We can't wait to visit again!

Great place to relax, great place enjoying summer sports ! 25 Years after our first visit to Snowed Inn a lot of things have changed - except the warm, helpful and engaged atmosphere offered by the owners Jeanne and Manfred to us. We found many opportunities for fun as well as sport: relaxing, hiking, mountainbiking, tennis and canoeing. Jim, the housekeeper was as friendly as all the people in this area.

My wife and I stayed at Snowed Inn for several days during fall color season. Both the colors and the Inn lived up to expectations. The owner of the Inn are on site are friendly and want to attend to every need. What more could you ask for? This Inn is casual and comfortable with in room fire places. I will return

We had a wonderful weekend this summer. The innkeepers are very gracious and the rooms are so warm, cozy and well appointed.We can't wait to go back this winter and go skiing. We had a wonderful suite with fireplace and small kitchen. I can't say enough good things about our experience.

We stayed only one night, so the "inn" met our expectations for a quick getaway and one last day of skiing. It is not a typical "bed and breakfast" that we have become accustomed to in the Northeast. The breakfast was a buffet breakfast, with all the fare that you could get at a Hampton Inn or other chain. The price was right; the room comfortable and clean, (although it came with only a small shower). We did choose a room with a gas fireplace, and that was a nice touch, although it became a bit warm as the fireplace is too big for the small room. All in all, we would stay there again, knowing that it is called an "inn," but is really a small motel/hotel.

We made last minute reservations for Columbus day weekend and luckily they had 2 rooms avilable. There was no review on this website and after booking i just googled it and read reviews on Tripadvisor which made me more comfortable about the place. I have to say it was perfact decision. The place is very cosy. living room and dining room with fire place. My most favourite is Sunroom with lots of plants. The back deck is great with jacuzzi and all you can see trees from there....just outside inn you see mountains. It is owned my austrian couple and runned my a very friendly inn keeper who is VT local and fun loving person. The only thing I would improve is they have continental breakfast, no doubt they have lots of varities and some freshly baked muffins/cakes , etc. But normally my mind set with b&B is that home-made breakfast come on your dining table. It wa sjust me and my husband but the place is kid friendly. we loved the place and given a chance would return back....

By JAMES L. DAVISEditor, Emery County Progress
A local couple's passion for the San Rafael Swell has led to their writing of a book which shares in word and picture some of the scenic wonders they have encountered throughout the years.
Mark H. and Terry Williams recently published Utah's Scenic San Rafael 2001, which Mark H. describes as "a laymen's guide to the San Rafael. It tells you how far to go and where to turn and what to look for when you get there," he said.
A lifelong resident of Emery County, Mark H. has explored the San Rafael for decades. Avid all terrain vehicle enthusiasts, the Williams' have for years taken pictures of the places they have been and the things they have seen. But even with their years of exploring the San Rafael, they admit that there is no way to see it all.
"Every time we go out there we see something different," Mark H. said.
The 128-page book is a traveling companion for explorers of the San Rafael. With color photos the book takes the reader chapter by chapter through some of the attractions of the Swell. Mark H. said he wrote the book as not only a tour guide, but includes a history of the area covered in individual chapters. Each chapter details a particular place to go and see and is labeled as to whether you can go by car, high clearance vehicle or ATV.
The Williams said they had intended to write the book as an update to Utah's Scenic San Rafael, which Mark H. and Owen McClenahan wrote in 1986. "We started out to update the original book but there's so many changes and places we have never been that we needed to mention them," Mark H. said.
McClenahan passed away in 1997 and the Williams' dedicated their book to his memory.
The husband and wife team began work on the book in March, pouring through hundreds of slides they had taken of their travels throughout the years. The book was published in November and is available at the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale. Williams said he also has a distributor who will make them available at selected national parks.
The couple journeys to the San Rafael as often as they can, even in the winter months. "You just put on your snowmobile suit and go," Terry said.
Even though they often go to places they haven't been before on their visits to the Swell, Mark H. said he has yet to become lost on a journey. "He has a map in his brain. He doesn't get lost," said Terry.
But for readers of their book who use it as a traveling companion for exploring the San Rafael, Mark H. assures them that even if they aren't similarly blessed with a map in their head, they won't become lost.
"I guarantee you won't get lost," he said.

Aquatic center proposal to go before voters
After years of discussion, a proposal to build a regional aquatic center in the Tri-Cities will finally go before voters.
Tonight, the Tri-Cities Regional Public Facilities District unanimously decided to ask voters to approve a one-tenth of 1% sales tax increase to fund a regional aquatic center in Pasco.
The proposed aquatic center would be built on 28 acres of land off Sandifur Parkway near Road 100.
PFD members are looking at putting the proposal on the August ballot, however that has not been finalized yet.

UNIVERS ZERO: Implosion
An expanded line-up with, on some tracks, trumpet, marimba, cello and acoustic guitar. A very clean recording with close attention to sound and atmosphere -with the effect, curiously, of making the whole band sound rather anodyne and surgical. Sampled sounds add to this general lifelessness. I hate to say it, but even where the writing is lively, the rendition is mechanical and the rhythms more numerical than felt. It has its moments, of course, and glimpses of a future clearing (the track Mellotronic, for example) but I miss the playing, the feeling, the power, the intensity of the music of the earlier records. Especially of Daniel himself, one of the most original drummers the last 40 years has produced and who is here very reduced - as are all the players, a result , I suspect, of the recording method and lack of ensemble paying. That's my dissident view. Fans I am sure will beg to differ.

Admittedly, I am being a bit more cautious these days with my spending, and have found myself clipping coupons more and signing up for those rewards programs in order to earn me a free meal at a fine dining establishment. Which is why I'm excited to know YMI Jeanswear has initiated their "YMI Bucks" program, which gives you 15 YMI Bucks towards your next purchase of $50 or more, for every $50 you spend today. Petite fashionistas can rejoice at the prospects of scoring more jeans that actually fit them. With YMI's newest arrivals in fall fashions — check out their new outerwear collection — shopping can be more rewarding than before.

The country's hundred biggest actively-managed mutual funds still despise giant banking stocks.
Well, okay. Despise may be too strong of a word. But fresh numbers from Bernstein Research highlight something not very far off.
These funds err noticeably against the likes of Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) …. and they grew even more wary of them as last year wore on.
The group — which includes massive mutual funds such as $117 billion American Funds Growth Fund of America (AGTHX), the $89 billion Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX), and the $59 billion American Funds Investment Company of America (CICAX)* — carried a 4.9% weighting in large-cap banks in the fourth quarter, Bernstein found. That's versus about 5.7% of the S&P 500 (SPY). And the figure was slightly lower in the fourth quarter versus the third.
That has to be hurting performance in 2013. Financial stocks are the fourth-best performing group in the S&P, having risen 10.6% at this writing. BofA and Citi are ahead by 8% and 14.5% YTD, respectively. But those are the two most loathed stocks of the group. Bernstein puts the funds' BofA weighting at about half the S&P's:

Cash and Credit RegistersOther Mechanical Cash Registers
Although NCR dominated the market for cash registers, other firms offered their own forms of the machine. Some of these looked quite different from common images of a cash register. A few manufacturers, such as Brandt, competed successfully by making machines with a somewhat different function.
"Cash and Credit Registers - Other Mechanical Cash Registers" showing 1 items.

Ohmer Cash Register
- Description
- This cash register has a metal cash box and case. The wooden cash drawer has a flat black slab above it. The machine has four levers for setting amounts of money to $99.99. A mechanism sets the 2-digit department number, and a lever sets the identity of the clerk. The manually operated machine has an operating crank on the right side. It has no paper tape. The machine has indicator dials in a glass case at the top, with totals visible on both sides. On the left side is a window that shows a date of MAY 15. The cash drawer contains a key and a pill bottle.
- The machine is marked at the base of the front: OHMER REGISTER CO. (/) DAYTON, OHIO, U.S.A. It is also marked: CLASS 807 (4)R -D3 (/) Serial No. 6056. It is marked on the bottom of the cash drawer: GUARANTEE. . . . OHMER REGISTER COMPANY (/)(Signed) John F. Ohmer (/) President.
- Ohmer made the cases for early NCR cash registers. The Ohmer Car Register Company was founded in 1898 to make registers for streetcar, train and bus fares. The Ohmer Register Company was incorporated in 1931 as a distributing agency for the original firm. Cash registers seem to have been made under the Ohmer name from about that time until not long after the sale of the firm to Rockwell Manufacturing Company in 1946. John F. Ohmer died in 1938.

English Teaching in Thailand
As the third fastest growing economy in Asia behind China and Japan, Thailand is becoming an extremely attractive place to work for westerners. For this reason teaching English in Thailand has become very popular over the years and is now experiencing a further period of rapid growth.
The demand for foreign teachers is growing at an exponential rate because of the increasing importance for Thai people to speak English to a high standard. The Thai Ministry of Education recently announced that it will be recruiting a further 300 foreign teachers for its state schools over the coming year, offering higher than usual salaries in a bid to up the standard of English for its expanding economy.
Monthly teaching salaries for foreigners currently stand at an average of 35,000 Baht a month (approximately $1,160), and can rise to nearer 50,000 Baht within a couple of years. When you consider it costs approximately a third of the price to live in Thailand when compared with the West, that is a salary with the equivalent of around $3,000 per month. Food is far cheaper in Thailand, as is accommodation, and around half your income is savable if you budget properly.
Teaching English in Thailand is a place to start a career as a foreign teacher, and also a great place to study your TEFL course. A number of companies offer placements at prices far cheaper than the West, and with immediate TEFL job opportunities offered on completion. Perhaps the greatest benefit in studying your TEFL in Thailand is being able to gain hands on experience teaching foreign students during your course.
Studying your TEFL in Thailand allows you to get a feel for the country, people and culture before finally making up your mind whether you want to teach there permanently. TEFL courses can be found all over the country, but are most prevalent in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, with Chiang Mai offering perhaps the most attractive balance between city and rural life.
There has never been a better time to consider teaching English in Thailand than now. Thailand is very welcoming to foreign residents and the country is desperately seeking talented, personable teachers to fill positions all over the country. Study visas are readily available through companies offering TEFL in Thailand courses and accommodation can be arranged prior to arrival.

Skip to comments.IRS: Cheapest Obamacare Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family
Posted on 01/31/2013 2:43:47 PM PST by rhema
In a final regulation issued Wednesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assumed that under Obamacare the cheapest health insurance plan available in 2016 for a family will cost $20,000 for the year.
Under Obamacare, Americans will be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty to the IRS.
The IRS's assumption that the cheapest plan for family of five will cost $20,000 per year is found in examples the IRS gives to help people understand how to calculate the penalty they will need to pay the government if they do not buy a mandated health plan.
The annual national average bronze plan premium for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000, the regulation says.
Bronze will be the lowest tier health-insurance plan available under Obamacare--after Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Under the law, the penalty for not buying health insurance is supposed to be capped at either the annual average Bronze premium, 2.5 percent of taxable income, or $2,085.00 per family in 2016.
In the new final rules published Wednesday, IRS set in law the rules for implementing the penalty Americans must pay if they fail to obey Obamacare's mandate to buy insurance.
To help illustrate these rules, the IRS presented examples of different situations families might find themselves in.
In the examples, the IRS assumes that families of five who are uninsured would need to pay an average of $20,000 per year to purchase a Bronze plan in 2016.
Using the conditions laid out in the regulations, the IRS calculates that a family earning $120,000 per year that did not buy insurance would need to pay a "penalty" (a word the IRS still uses despite the Supreme Court ruling that it is in fact a "tax") of $2,400 in 2016.
For those wondering how clear the IRS's clarifications of this new "penalty" rule are, here is one of the actual examples the IRS gives:
Example 3. Family without minimum essential coverage.
"(i) In 2016, Taxpayers H and J are married and file a joint return. H and J have three children: K, age 21, L, age 15, and M, age 10. No member of the family has minimum essential coverage for any month in 2016. H and Js household income is $120,000. H and Js applicable filing threshold is $24,000. The annual national average bronze plan premium for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000.
"(ii) For each month in 2016, under paragraphs (b)(2)(ii) and (b)(2)(iii) of this section, the applicable dollar amount is $2,780 (($695 x 3 adults) + (($695/2) x 2 children)). Under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section, the flat dollar amount is $2,085 (the lesser of $2,780 and $2,085 ($695 x 3)). Under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, the excess income amount is $2,400 (($120,000 - $24,000) x 0.025). Therefore, under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the monthly penalty amount is $200 (the greater of $173.75 ($2,085/12) or $200 ($2,400/12)).
"(iii) The sum of the monthly penalty amounts is $2,400 ($200 x 12). The sum of the monthly national average bronze plan premiums is $20,000 ($20,000/12 x 12). Therefore, under paragraph (a) of this section, the shared responsibility payment imposed on H and J for 2016 is $2,400 (the lesser of $2,400 or $20,000).
This was the plan all along, to push everyone into single payer and put the insurance companies out of business.
Women and chil'ren hurt most.
We gotta pass the bill so we can see what's in it!...............I don't like what I see............
The cheapest plan is about 80% if my income.
My personal health insurance alone right now is half that amount and I am not classified as a risk for anything as of the moment. I hope the 47% of the US get their just desserts.
So, the government will give a $20,000 health insurance policy to anyone who quits working?
At last the utopia of the peasantry has come to America!
With no roof over your head and no food to eat you're going to need health care more than ever, comrade. /s
Since Median Household income is $49K, the IRS assumes that family will spend 40% of its pre-tax income on Healthcare.
I am sure this has been answered a zillion times ... So which fed govt entity gets the money from these lousy fines?
I know it all comes into treasury etc but what is their pack of lies for where the money supposedly goes? If it goes anywhere it ought to go to healthcare insurance companies so they could lower premiums (since the fine is suppoedly because people cant afford the premiums). The govt should not get a penny of it
they will get their dessert along with dinner, paid for by US. illegals will get their free healthcare also.
Do you see what page (in the attachment) the sections cited are on?
This is a can of worms.
Imagine any hospital turning away an emergency patient, whether that patient has insurance or not. Ambulance-chasing lawyers are will be on standby.
The repercussions of Obamacare will not be known for a long while. The unintended consequences will create further disasters and policy crises.
Yeah, Pelosi, someone should have read the damn thing!
If this before or after busloads of illegals arrive to get their free stuff under 0bama's new 'immigration' policy?
Bingo. You are absolutely correct. These rates and declining doctor participation rates will destroy health care for the masses and they will demand that the government DO SOMETHING. Obama and his minions will then establish National Health Care after their dream of the British system. The media will report the wondrous gift from Dear Leader and suppress any bad news.
Keep working those 29 hour a week jobs, folks.
Only the top 1%, or maybe 10%, and those at the very bottom will be able to afford health insurance.
Thank God for Walmart and $4 prescriptions, at least until we need to be hospitalized some day.
Now we understand why they need 15,000 additional IRS agents to administer this convoluted mess.
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored....
Someday it will really suck to be Obama
Correctamundo! And the stupid short-sighted insurance companies fell for it.
Remember, one of the most replaceable things in America is a member of the House. They come up for election every 2 years ~
Is Platinum for elected officials and the rich (which cover everything, including out-of-pocket expenses) and Bronze for us low-life peons (which will be nothing more than catastrophic coverage with a huge deductible and never really cover much of anything)?
What if you make less than $20K a year, and thus, cannot even afford to pay for Zerocare at all (if you must eat and have a roof over your head and gas for your car to get to work)? Can a doctor legally accept cash for service anymore, or must everyone have some kind of coverage, even if it's "obamacare"?
What will the cost per family be once you factor in all of those illegal aliens that will soon be granted amnesty?
Thank you Chief Justice Roberts, you no good two faced spineless slimy SOB!!!!!!!!!!!
"Bronze Plan" Who elected him?
That sounds like something straight out of the Soviet Union.
Many states will put you into Medicaid at a little lower annual income than that (depending on family size). But in many areas you will not be able to find a primary provider who is accepting new Medicaid patients, and the wait for specialists could be very long.
IRS: The Cheapest Obamacare (STEALTH TAX) Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family Of Five - Obama And Democrats Are In Your Wallet!
By 2025 third world health care, will feel like home for the majority of Americans. We'll be like Africa, China, India, Mexico and all other utopias citizens of the world immigrated from. No more "racist, greedy America."
Globalism promises a rush to the bottom, so the serfs can compete for a piece of the global pie...or a cup of rice and a 300 sq foot flat.
Well it does provide 15,000 additional "good" jobs, LOL.
Let me guess - we all get the Bronze medal and the assorted deadbeats that make up the 47% will get Platinum service, all in the name of social justice.
Don't worry guys; Boner and McConnell are all over this!
Even now McConnell is drafting a Strongly Worded Letter to the President. I feel better already!
Wow! The revolution might start much sooner than I thought.
0bamaCare will seize up the health care system like a handful of gravel poured into the carburetor of a running engine.
The best and brightest in US health care will probably migrate to the Caribbean where wealthy patients can access fairly easily.
You could always go on strike. Don't work, don't pay. See who loses nerve first. I bet the govt will, given enough Americans with backbone.
Hey, we all just stop working and we get free health care, probably free cars, free education, free food, free housing and free Spanish lessons.
The collapse of America as I see it.
In other words, what do they get for that "penalty" premium and how much of their butts are left hanging out, exposed to the personal out of pocket at time of service? A "Bronze" plan must, by any common denomiator, provide less coverage than the other three metalic grades of plans!
What's left uncovered in spite of a $20,000.00 annual "penalty"/tax??? BOHICA!!!
Oh! And what's the annual salary of that IRS agent who checks your tax returns to see if you either paid enough for private insurance or paid the right "penalty" instead? I'm sure it's more than 5 times the minimum "penalty" rate!!!
Also, regarding drawbacks of being a Medicaid patient, I have seen first-hand (a close relative), who was discharged from the hospital at the drop of a hat (much too soon), even when involved in a high-risk pregnancy, considerable pain, low blood pressure, swollen extremities, etc. The medical staff, although very competent and caring, said they had no choice due to new rules regarding Medicaid patients.
Dear King Obama,
Darn. May I have permission to ask you a question about your healthcare bill?
Very truly your stooge,
Mitzi McConnell
300Mil Americans / 4 * 20,000 = $1.5Trillion
Current spending is $2.7Trillion
Medicare is about $600B
$1.5 Trillion + 600B = $2.1Trillion
So there's roughly $600B in fees and co pays to get to break even.
so are we really spending an aggregate of approximately $35k - $40k per family of 4 NOW??
Where is all this money going?
(just a rhetorical question)
I know what it's like to pay that kind of money for health insurance. The Country will go into shock if that cost hits home for most every family.
You have brilliantly proved that great humor is grounded in the truth! :-D

Vergne happy but wants more
Jean-Eric Vergne is content with the manner in which his debut season unfolded but that he wanted to score more points.
- Related Content
Having served as Toro Rosso's test driver in 2011, Vergne made the step up to a race-seat this season and scored points on four occasions, all through eighth place finishes - including at the season-ending Brazilian GP.
This saw him out-score his team-mate, Daniel Ricciardo, by six points with the Australian only managing a best finish of ninth.
"It was nice to sign off the season with another four points," said Vergne.
"I wasn't too excited about the result immediately after the race, as you always want more and I do think seventh was possible, but with a bit of time to reflect on the result.
"It was nice for both me and the team to finish the last race in the points. It feels like positive way to end 2012.
"I had four eighth places during the year and scored 16 points. For my first year in Formula One, and given that we didn't have the best car in the world, I don't feel too bad about that record.
"For sure, it could have been better and I certainly expect better of myself next year, but all in all I'd mark it down as a successful first season.
"Ultimately, I think this year was all about learning and the points are not the most significant thing. The important thing for me is that I think I have learned a hell of a lot about Formula One this year.
"First, there's obviously the whole process of driving the car, learning how to work properly with the team and learning how to race in F1, all of that has been a massive learning curve and at times it has been pretty hard, especially when the results weren't coming and we seemed to be going backwards.
"But that's where the second lesson comes into play. At the end of my first season I think I've learned a lot about being a Formula One driver out of the car as well as in it.
"Driving the car is obviously the sharp end of what we do and the most crucial part of the job, but it wouldn't work if, as a driver, you didn't learn how to work with your engineers.
"If you didn't learn how to process all the information you get given and help everyone in the team arrive at the best solution for the circumstances you're in."
The 22-year-old is certainly not resting on his laurels, determined to come back a better driver.
"All I want now over the winter is to put all I've learned together and arrive back next year with, hopefully, a better car, more experience, more skill and hopefully I'll have an even better experience next year," he said.

Marianne Sue' Hutchison
Marianne Sue Hutchison
Former Durango resident Marianne Hutchison died Friday, Jan. 18, 2013, at her home in Tucson, Ariz. She was 87.
Known as Sue, she was born to Raymond and Georgia Rose Anna Burch Cunningham on July 6, 1925, in Birmingham, Iowa. Her father died before her birth. She grew up in Fairfield, Conn., and Keosaqua, Iowa, with her mother, stepfather, brother and stepsister.
After high school graduation in 1943, Mrs. Hutchison attended the University of Iowa before going to work for a law firm.
In 1947, she married E.L. Hutch Hutchison in Iowa. During the next 10 years, while Mr. Hutchison was rebuilding roads and bases in war-torn countries, the couple lived in Guam, Morocco and Spain, the latter two countries with their young daughters in tow.
Mrs. Hutchison had always wanted to live in the mountains, so on the recommendation of a co-worker, John Hunt, her husband bought property in Durango. The couple eventually purchased Basin Bowl and Scotties Resort at Vallecito Reservoir in partnership with Mr. and Mrs. Hunt.
Mrs. Hutchison not only worked in the family businesses, she was a secretary for Continental Oil Co. and Durango High School as well as becoming a sales director for Mary Kay Cosmetics. When the Hutchisons sold Scotties in the early 1970s, Mr. Hutchison became a real estate developer and Mrs. Hutchison continued her Mary Kay career. After what her family called her retirement, she managed Y.E.S.S. The Book Hutch for nearly a decade.
All told, Mrs. Hutchison lived in Durango for 52 years. She had lived in Tucson for the last three years, moving there to be near her daughter, Susan Hutchison.
She enjoyed traveling with her grandchildren and supporting their polocross tournament play.
Mrs. Hutchison was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, E.L. Hutchison, in 2009.
She is survived by her daughters, Terry Hutchison of Durango and Susan Hutchison of Tucson; sister, Kathleen Perry, of Englewood, Fla.; two grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
Cremation has occurred. Arrangements for a memorial service are pending.
Memorial contributions may be sent to the Southwest Colorado Multiple Sclerosis Society, c/o Jeannine Pope, P.O. Box 4545, Durango, CO 81302; or Hospice of Mercy, 1 Mercado St., Suite 270, Durango, CO 81301.

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Genesis 7:11-8:3
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights. On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark, they and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort. They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.
The flood continued forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered; the waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man; everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days. But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided; the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had abated.

Olympic Gold Medallist Julius Brink to Compete at SandJam Halifax
(HALIFAX, August 6, 2013): Halifax will welcome the 2012 London Olympic Beach Volleyball Men's Gold Medallist Julius Brink to SandJam Halifax. The German player will compete for the Canada Cup from August 15-18 on the Halifax waterfront along with new partner Sebastian Fuchs.
Brink, with former partner Jonas Reckermann, defeated Brazil's Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego in three sets to win the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympic games, making Germany the first European country to win gold in Olympic Beach Volleyball. The pair, who qualified as the third seed for the Olympics, has also won four FIVB competitions with three consecutive Grand Slams, and the German Masters of the CEV European Championship Tour. In 2009, Brink received the FIVB Team of the Year and Tour Champion awards. His sponsors include Red Bull, Oakley, Ultrasun and Camp David.
SandJam Halifax is also excited to announce that the men's and women's finals of this year's tournament will be broadcast for the first time on TSN. The network will broadcast each final across Canada as a thirty-minute special segment, showcasing the outstanding talent of these athletes and the beauty of our unique waterfront stadium
"With the participation of the reigning Olympic Gold medallist, SandJam Halifax is now firmly entrenched as one of the premier beach volleyball events in the world," stated Derek Martin, President of Sports & Entertainment Atlantic, "and with TSN as our National broadcast partner, all of Canada will have a chance to be captivated by the skill and beauty of these athletes and this place."
Round robin play takes place from August 15-17, with semi-finals taking place at 6:00p.m. on August 17, and finals taking place on August 18 at 1:00p.m. The SandJam Halifax stadium will be built for the event at the Salter Lot on Lower Water Street in Halifax. Events begin Monday August 12 and include an exhibition tennis match between Jim Courier and Mikael Pernfors, the Sterling Vineyards Date Night Under the Stars outdoor movie, and the Corona Extra Beach Party. For a full schedule of events and to purchase tickets visit www.sandjamhalifax.ca.

Kingsport police get helpful tool to track online child predators
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Kingsport Police are hoping to put more internet predators behind bars with the help of a new crime-fighting tool.
The Kingsport Police Department now owns a Cop-In-A-Box. It's all thanks to a donation after the screening of Finding Faith, a movie to raise awareness about internet crimes against children.
This computer system is equipped with highly specific software that can help track online criminals targeting children.
"These people who would offend against our children through the internet often times they are very covert. They hide well. They know the process. they're very elusive," said Captain Jason Bellamy, with the department.
The Safe Surfin Foundation reports one-in-five teens has received an unwanted sexual solicitation online and more than $3 billion are spent on child porn every year.

Nothing says summer like the smell of sunscreen, hot asphalt, and smoke from the barbeque. Maybe you're not a fan of the first two scents, but the third? It's the sign of good food, good company, and good times. For all the BBQs you're sure to attend this summer—from now on through the Fourth of July to Labor Day—we have plenty of suggestions. Go for a relaxed look with loose-fitting cuffed jeans and a lightweight tee, wear an adorable floral dress for a pop of color underneath a denim vest, or pair your on-trend pastel denim shorts with equally sweet hues. Just don't spill the ketchup.

by Diana Senechal
In a whopping 437 pages, Steven Brill's Class Warfare: Inside the Fight to Fix America's Schools (Simon & Schuster, 2011) recounts a dramatic and vicious battle between two education camps: on the one side, hedge fund managers, aggressive chancellors, determined charter school leaders, teachers who work endlessly, all fighting for reform as they define it; on the other, the big unions who use their clout to block, complicate, or slow down reform. The book has good guys, bad guys, and a surprise twist. Yet it does not stop to consider what education is, what it contains, or what ends it serves. This weakness is not particular to Brill or his book; it is at the core of the battles he describes. But Brill takes part uncritically.
About a hundred pages into the book, Brill describes Anthony Lombardi, a tough-minded middle school principal in Queens, New York, who "would target the teachers he thought were laggards and make life miserable for them." One of Lombardi's initiatives was the implementation of a new curriculum that he had developed "with consultants from Columbia Teachers College"; at his urging, teachers uncomfortable with the new curriculum left the school. Former New York City schools chancellor Joel Klein told Brill that "Lombardi had emptied his whole school of the incompetents"; Brill accepts this assertion at face value, without looking into the curriculum or the objections. At the very least, Brill could have examined the curriculum; those who resisted it may have had good reasons for doing so.
As the book continues, so does Brill's error, his dismissal of the substance of education. When describing Children First, the initial education plan of Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Klein, Brill fails to mention the new mandated curricula: Balanced Literacy, Everyday Mathematics, and Impact Mathematics. Balanced Literacy contained more pedagogical prescriptions than subject matter: for instance, a teacher's direct instruction was to last no longer than 10-15 minutes, and students were to spend much time in groups. Literacy coaches told teachers how to arrange their rooms, what to say in their mini-lessons, and how to praise or correct students. None of this is brought up in the book. Brill notes that Randi Weingarten (at that time the president of the United Federation of Teachers) asked for "teacher input into textbooks and class configuration, more teacher discretion in classroom instruction," and more. Instead of taking these demands seriously, or even considering them, Brill appears to join in with Klein, who "laughed off these demands from the union." What is so laughable about a demand that teachers be able to exercise their best judgment? If they are not allowed to use their minds, how will they teach their students to do so?
In Brill's view, the great teachers are the ones who do what they're told (and much more), give students their cell phone numbers, agree to work longer days without extra pay, never sit down, and raise test scores. (Later in the book, he grants that teachers should be allowed to sit down now and then.) But education is not a hundred-meter sprint. To teach anything of substance, a teacher needs time for solitary planning and preparation, time to meet informally and formally with colleagues, time to confer with students, time to think. The class needs time to contemplate and discuss interesting topics, even when they are not related to the immediate goals. Often the goals are well served by such forays, as students learn to consider the subject from different angles. Such time does not exist in abundance, but there is nothing heroic about taking it all away.
To Brill, such quiet and ruminative work is unheard of. He criticizes the New York City teachers' union (the UFT) for "Circular 6," a rule that reduced teachers' scheduled non-classroom duties from two periods to one daily. The other period would still be allotted to professional duties, but teachers could choose from a list, and they did not have to be in a specific place at a specific time. To Brill, this means an "extra period off during the day, a perk"; apparently, if teachers are not given tasks at specific places and times, they will do nothing. This assumption is false; it is precisely the self-motivated teachers who need flexibility and will be driven away by an overly prescriptive schedule. Suppose, for instance, that a teacher wishes to help write the school's curriculum in a particular subject. She will need to write on her own, consult with others, and examine resources. To do this, she cannot always be in a specified location; she should be trusted to move around as necessary to get the work done.
Many other initiatives discussed in Brill's book—charter school co-location in public school buildings, the Obama administration's Race to the Top, the Los Angeles Times' publication of teachers' value-added ratings, the mass firing of teachers at Central Falls High School in Rhode Island—evade the question of what the schools are seeking to teach. Brill visits a KIPP classroom that in his view resembles other KIPP classrooms he has seen: "full of focused, connected children with a magnetic teacher in front of her room." But KIPP co-founder Dave Levin sees all sorts of things wrong with it: in Brill's words, "an imperfect bulletin board, three students whose eyes were wandering, the teacher turning her back to face the blackboard, an incomplete reading log." Brill does not question or scrutinize Levin's criticism, but he should. There is a fine line between "sweating the small stuff" and neglecting the larger picture. Do wandering eyes necessarily mean lack of interest or involvement? How does a bulletin board affect the lesson, the course, and the overall education of the students?
Such classroom descriptions make up only a fraction of the book. Brill seems much more interested in the politics of education reform: who is aligned with whom, who knows what about whom, and so forth. Some of his favorite reformers share his predilection for power play. Brill describes a 2008 memo written by Democrats for Education Reform (DFER) leaders who sought to prevent the selection of Linda Darling-Hammond as secretary of education. Their memo stated, among other things, that Wendy Kopp, founder of Teach for America, was DFER's second-choice recommendation after Arne Duncan. According to Brill, this was an attempt to "lure" Darling-Hammond into a negative response that would weaken her prospects (she had written critically of TFA in the past). Here are influential policymakers using memos not to put forth their views but to manipulate and hurt others. Here is corruption of language and leadership, a void rolling at full speed. Brill rolls along.
Ultimately Brill discovers an error in his own thinking. For most of the book, he glorifies the teachers, leaders, and policymakers who relentlessly pursue success (in terms of student achievement on tests). Later, he acknowledges that such people—especially those who actually work in schools—cannot be sustained, let alone duplicated. He quotes a Harlem Success Academy teacher who reports feeling "overwhelmed, underappreciated, and underpaid" and who says that "this model just cannot scale." Recognizing that not all teachers are or can be extraordinary, Brill recommends that reformers work with unions—particularly leaders like Weingarten—to "motivate and enable the less than extraordinary in the rank and file to respond to this emergency" (that is, the emergency of failing schools).
Reasonable as Brill's conclusion sounds, it rests on a flawed definition of "extraordinary." Extraordinary runners are those who run the fastest or longest (or both). Extraordinary—and good—educators are those who bring subjects to their students in compelling and lasting ways. Some may look like Brill's high-energy heroes; some may not. A sense of urgency is helpful if one knows what one is doing and takes both a long and a short view. There are quiet teachers who teach their subjects with passion, knowledge, and expertise. There are schools that resist frenzy and fads and educate their students well.
Results are important, but only in relation to what we are trying to do. We may not agree on what we are trying to do, but we should ask what it is, listen to ourselves and others, and follow our best understanding. Class Warfare does not even pose the initial question; it reads like a video game, where the goal is to win points, period.

|In response to Re: Which EL 2-piece toilets have Flushmate III?
: I've found the following elongated, 2-piece toilets with the Flushmate III:
: American Standard 2333
: Are there any others now available or soon to become available? (I called Flushmate and was given incorrect information - "American Standard and Gerber only".)
: I need to cover a hole in the floor resulting from a prior owner's installation of a tile floor around the old toilet, and none of the above toilets appear to have a base that is sufficiently flat in front or long enough from the drain hole to the front of the base to cover the squared off front base corners from an old American Standard toilet.
: A possible alternative solution is the Sachwin toilet base cover, but I would prefer to find a Flushmate III toilet that will cover the hole without having to use a base cover that is unlikely to last as long as the toilet.

What kind of computer do you use?
Laptop and PC.
¡yo tambien!
Thats the symbol for Jedi Outcast.
PC forever. Mac doesn't have the gaming capacity, and laptops don't have enough room for all my awesome crap. PC just makes everything soooo much easier.
I have a PC.
a crappy PC, hell I can't afford anything else.
Lap-top, I need the portability still need the express card for it though. So I have to look for hot spots.
i go lap top all the way...y be stuck inside on a nice warm day when i can be outside AND on the computer lol
Sometimes I use my PC and other times I will use my school laptop which is Mac. But my PC, our processors suck, the video card is half decent and RAM is good.
PC it was a windows ME but i had it up graded to a XP now i have a flat screen with a eroginomical (weirdly shaped but designed so that you wont get like carpal tunnel syndrom ((spell)) ) and a wireless blue light up laser mouse THAT BROKE!!!!!!! now i have to use a normal wire mouse
I use a PC.
A good PC and a very ancient laptop, with a whopping 64MB RAM - wow!
As you may realise I use the laptop for word processing only and occasionally playing the orignial Sims with no extension packs - it's all too much for the poor thing.
PC....which has been acting "despicable" lately... (see my reply to the "Awesome Words" thread. )
I use a pc which every few months decides to go wrong. Its ushuall a decent pc tho.
Laptop, PC, and Mac... laptop on trips, PC at home, Mac for image manipulation and animation - plus the Mac looks better than the rest.
MACS ALL THE WAY!!!!! Sorry, I like Macs. I usually use my home Mac, but for BFFC, it would only be my laptop (also a Mac)
I have a Japanese Toshiba Libretto for email and internet, I have a MacBook for my job, and a Pc midi-tower computer for gaming. It's a dual core 3.2ghz, 2048mbram, 500gbhd, SLI 7900GT, wanting to upgrade to XX8800's, but waiting for them to get a little more inexpensive, especially since I'll be using two of them.
I forgot to add, I also use a Nokia 9500 which is like a mini laptop for when I really want to go portable. Which I also hope to upgrade to the Nokia E90.
Wow. You have a techno warehouse it seems. I just have two Macs (as stated above) and I only use my laptop for important stuff. The other one's for research.
Laptop, baby....that's the way to go. I never realized how great having this kind of mobility was, and having all the smaller peripherals help out with saving space around the house.
Wow. You have a techno warehouse it seems. I just have two Macs (as stated above) and I only use my laptop for important stuff. The other one's for research.
Love technology
I used to be a PCer like most... But just recently got a iMac.... LOVE IT!!!!!!! Macs totally rock!!!
I used to be a PCer like most... But just recently got a iMac.... LOVE IT!!!!!!! Macs totally rock!!!
Good for you BB! Welcome to the Mac side of life The two main reasons why I really like mac are 1.) No viruses or spyware and 2.) No BSOD like Pc has. My laptop has given me BSOD's almost twice a week. Whereas, my MacBook Pro only has given it to me once, and that was my fault!
I like Linux, no viruses on that either. Then again you can't really do much on it, so far they haven't started making games for it. I have a linux in the other room actually, but the problem is that it's on this ancient computer that won't boot up anymore.

Cartridges > GeneChip® Mouse Exon ST Array
GeneChip® Mouse Exon ST Array
These products are now available on thermofisher.com. Find out more >
GeneChip® Mouse Exon 1.0 ST Array offers new insight and powerful key information for researchers.
With approximately four probes per exon and roughly 40 probes per gene, the GeneChip® Mouse Exon 1.0 ST Array enables two complementary levels of analysis—gene expression and alternative splicing.
Multiple probes per exon enable "exon-level" analysis and allow you to distinguish between different isoforms of a gene. This exon-level analysis on a whole-genome scale opens the door to detecting specific alterations in exon usage that may play a central role in disease mechanism and etiology.
The second level is "gene-level" expression analysis, in which multiple probes on different exons are summarized into an expression value of all transcripts from the same gene.
Exon arrays provide the most comprehensive coverage of the genome, including empirically supported and predicted transcribed sequences, enabling the discovery of previously unidentified novel events.
Array Features
- Highest resolution expression analysis, interrogating over 1 million exon clusters within the known and predicted transcribed regions of the entire genome.
- Tailored GeneChip® Whole Transcript (WT) Assay and Reagents utilizing a random priming method for generating sense targets along the entire length of the transcripts.
- Flexible data analysis solutions and comprehensive annotation, giving you the opportunity to explore and dissect the data in various user-defined workflows.
|Probe Sets
|1.2 million
|Exon Clusters
|~ 1 million
|Supported by Putative Full-Length mRNA
|266,220 probe sets
|Supported by Ensembl Transcripts

|Background Subtraction Strategy
|Median intensity of up to 1,000 background probes with the same GC content
|Total Features Per Array
|Interrogated Strand
|¹ About 10 percent of the exon probe sets have fewer than four probes due to the probe selection region length and sequence constraints. ² The probes tiled on the array are designed in the anti-sense orientation, requiring sense-strand labeled targets to be hybridized to the array. By convention, the array is called ST array representing the necessity of using sense targets (the labeled samples to be hybridized to the array).

Headlines (News Releases)
Social justice fund created to honour David Pfrimmer, principal-dean of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 18/13| For Immediate Release
Jeff Pym, Executive Director
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO The Evangelical Lutheran Foundation of Eastern Canada (ELFEC) has announced the creation of the David Pfrimmer Social Justice Fund. The fund honours the contributions of David Pfrimmer, principal-dean and registrar of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, a federated college of Wilfrid Laurier University.
The new fund will provide annual grants to charitable organizations furthering social justice issues such as poverty, climate change and human rights. Pfrimmer will serve as an advisor to ELFEC, helping to select the charitable organizations and projects that will receive grants from the fund.
A former director of the Lutheran Office of Public Policy for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, Pfrimmer spent more than 20 years working in public policy advocacy, taking an active international role with governments on human rights and social justice issues. In 1997 he led the successful initiative to encourage the United Nations to grant representative status to the Canadian Council of Churches as a non-governmental organization, allowing it to address international issues such as human rights, development, welfare reform and climate change.
Pfrimmer also served on the Eastern Synods investment committee for 18 years, and has been an ELFEC board member for the past seven years. ELFEC serves the Lutheran Church by managing investments and endowment funds contributed by individuals, congregations and affiliated organizations.
During Davids tenure he made numerous valuable contributions, but probably none greater than his insistence that investment activity must serve the broader mission of the church, said Susan Heard, president of ELFEC. He was largely responsible for the implementation of Socially Responsible Investment, whereby potential investments are first screened against social, environmental and ethical standards.
Pfrimmer has been principal dean and a professor of Christian Ethics at Waterloo Lutheran Seminary since 2005, and he remains active in the life of Wilfrid Laurier University. Pfrimmer earned a BA in Economics from Laurier when it was known as Waterloo Lutheran University. He went on to earn a Master of Divinity from Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, a Master of Arts from Laurier, and a Doctor of Ministry from Princeton Theological Seminary.
I am very grateful to the ELFEC board for this honour, said Pfrimmer. I think ELFECs commitment to operate a foundation committed to socially responsible investment is extremely important.
