Where I stayed
Brussels Hello Hostel
Ok, enough of making you guys wanna go to Belgium (which you should), I actually didn't love this place so much when I first arrived...=O yes shock horror! When we first got off the plane at Charleroi Brussels the weather was terrible, cold, cloudy and foggy, I expected the rain to come any minute
See, Brussels is a place with A LOT of contrasts, the Mannekin Pis was surronded by chocolate shops, waffle shops, souvenir shops, fries shop...you knew you were in the tourist area =P And the whole place was beautiful, you'd think you were in another city to the street just 2 blocks away. Then of course we stumbled into the Grand Place (Grote Markt) and that was just WOW.... I'm not kidding when I say it's the most magnificent square I've seen to date. This was the place for the rich and the grand, the town hall, the guild halls...you know you've made it if you could claim one of these buildings. The detail on every building was amazing, gold guilding, statues...seriously just look at the pictures and double whatever detail you see, that was what it was like in real life. Then barely two blocks away was this commercial district filled with shops, restaurants and again the crazy drivers. Another 20 mins down the street and there are high rises with their glass and concrete super offices, these are right next door to this giant monolith of a station from the cold war (ok I have no idea when it was made but it reminds me of it). Then of course there was a the red light district, the street full of middle eastern and african goods, gleeming white cathedrals, not so gleaming white cathedrals, massive palace, beautiful museums, even more beautiful churches, one massive giant mother of a courthouse (the size of this thing is RIDICULOUS, why anyone would have/need it is beyond me but I swear it is one of the biggest most outrageous buildings I've ever seen...it may even rival the Forbidden Palace but that's a different story)
Hmmm....ok, now for what I did there...XD
Haha, let's see...I'll make it less lengthy =P. First, the Grand Place (Grote Markt), impressive as hell and for the exact same weekend Yee-Ling and I were there (3-5/9) there was a Belgian beer festival right in the square!!!! Can you believe it!? Unfortunately we didn't go in due to massive lines, expensive beers and loud drunken Germans and Belgians BUT we did have our fair share of beers...mmm. OK, beers...in Belgium, they are AMAZING, I can see why people say VB tastes like pee water now XD. First one, a Trappistes Rochefort 10 (Trappist beers are brewed by monks and are quite famous in Belgium) was horrible haha, ok it didn't help that it was from a supermarket, so slightly warm and was 11.3%...so that was hard to down >.< Second one (had this like 4/5 hours apart so don't worry) was a Gauloise? Mmm it's my favourite beer to date and it was very good =P We had it in the Grand Place as well, admiring the square as the night went on so that was really cool. Third one I had the the next day at Archiduc while watching a very cool jazz trio was a Duvel, another famous Belgian beer, kinda strong but the taste grew on me =P. My last two beers I had at Delirium, this crazy touristy bar with over 2000+ kinds of beer, that's right 2000+, it made it into the Guiness Book of Records and we tried EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!! psssh XD do you believe me? haha.
OK, so drinking aside, food in Brussels was amazing =D...Chocolates is so much more the Guylian with brands like Neuhaus, Galler, Leonidas, Marcolini and Godiva...and they are oh so good but oh so expensive...oh so worth it! =D I bought some back to share! But I don't like the odds....people in Sweden may have a chance....but people in Melbourne might only end up getting wrappers....if that XD. I tried a horse steak in Brussels...interesting texture, very dense but not stringy at all...something to try =P. The Waterzooi that Yee-Ling had was really good too, creamy and very tasty. Had Stoemp (pretty much mash) but with carrot and potatoes! That was nice =) with a very dense sausage, I dunno if that's because they fill it with real meat or more offal =P but I liked it! The waffles here were so sweet...and smelt so very good. Of course we had to get the extreme tourist waffle with cream and strawberries and banna and chocolate but what a horribly delicious meal. We barely had the stomach to finish it all and yet, later that day we were having more waffles XD. And of course the fries here are amazing!...Ok, they're not mind blowing, I mean, fries are fries but they were fresh, fried in clean oil and very crunchy ^_^ Coupled with a massive dollop of mayonaisse and a refreshing coke and you get the perfect 4 euro dinner! Btw, Frech fries are actually Belgian! The American/British troops saw the Belgians making their fries during world war 1 but because they spoke French, they just remembered "French Fries"
And as for things to do...(as if food and beer aren't enough) we checked out some of Brussels many many churches, monuments and giant palace/civic buildings and parks. But the highlight for me would've been the art museum and the open air market. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium was quite cool and made me realise that art museums really are quite cool. Here there were the paintings by Rene Magritte (a famous Belgian surrealist) which while at times were quite bizarre/intimmidating I really quite liked, especially his later works. Just the way he paints light and uses it to bring out the texture and feel of things. No photoshop lighting effects here! Also he's known for some very clever and though provoking paintings, they were a little too deep for me to understand but you can check out his "Empire of Lights" and "This is not a pipe" or just wiki him. The pictures on the internet are no where near as impressive but they give an idea. I also quite liked the modern are section....not the "here is a blank canvas with a brown border...lets put it in an art museum!" modern art...but just check out some of the pics =) (btw, these were all perfectly legal =P)
The marketplace was my second highlight, both for the atmosphere and amount of cool things that you could buy there. I of course succumbed to impulse buying BUT in my defence, they were cheap and (I think) very cool. An old photo of a family saying goodbye/hello in Anvers (Antwerp), and old beer label, 2 pins (MGM and Les Mis!) and 6 old coins - a penny, a half penny, a three pence, a shilling, 10 francs (France) and 50 ptas (Spain) dating from 1938 to 1977 and with the heads of King George, a pretty Queen Elizabeth and Francisco Franco
To top it off, I spent a crazy saturday morning training to Bruges and riding around the beautiful town while Yee-Ling checked out the Atomium (A BCC structure of iron!!!) and the EU buildings. Crazy confusing ticket counters and a missed train later...I was on a bike riding like mad through Bruges. The place really is amazing, even if it's half manufactured...the medieval buildings were mainly built in the 19th century to make the city prettier cos someone published a book saying that Bruges was ugly. Must see sights include the Markt and the Burg, two very beautiful squares in the centre of town and the wind mills to the east of the canal city. The canals running through this place is beautiful and you really need to take the time to wander its picturesque streets...something I couldn't affort to do in the 2 hours I had there =(. Ah well, I don't regret it given the amount of things were were trying to see in two and a half days in Belgium but given the time, I would (In Bruges): Take a canal tour, walk the streets and taken many many more pictures, checked out the interiros of it's churches, town halls and belfries, went to the Fries museum!, picnic-ed on the river/canalside and checked out the holy blood in the Holy blood chapel =P. Just a little taste of what you can do in Bruges =)
And that's it! My longest post yet I think but it was justified! I think Belgium has been one of my favourite places so far. Not crippled by extreme sight seeing like in Rome =P but still have an amazing day discovering the city. I dunno how much fun it'd still be after you've seen all the museums and lost all your money/health after buying all that chocolate/beer/fries/waffles XD but it's definitely worth the 3/4 days =) And if you DO get sick of Brussels, just an hours ride away is Bruges, or Antwerp and Ghent! And if you SOMEHOW get sick of Belgium...Paris is like 2 hours away! XD
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures & Videos
as IF you tried EVERY SINGLE drink hehee liver failure =P
yeah, I didn't realise the Belgians made Tin tin and the SMURFS!!! I did go a little overboard on this one though haha XD I was so excited after coming back from Belgian. Surprisingly I still have some chocolate remaining! =P
All the best for you application!! w00t for exchange!!

Shares of networking firm Silver Spring Networks (SSNI) are down $1.16 cents, or 6%, at $18.0.5, after the maker of equipment for the electricity grid received initiation of coverage today by the underwriters of its March 13th IPO, with four of the seven analysts rating it the equivalent of a Buy.
The stock is still above its offer price of $17, but below the first-day close of
Stifel Nicolaus's Jefferey Osborne is among the bulls, rating the stock Buy with a $22 price target, writing the company "has built a leading track record of winning mandates and deploying IP-based secure wireless networking equipment and solutions with utilities in the U.S. and abroad, with 15.8 million Silver Spring-enabled devices already deployed."
The company's metering technology has opportunities in multiple parts of the world, he writes:
Global Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployments are still in relatively early stages with significant opportunities in the U.S., the E.U., Latin America, and Asia. While utilities typically start with AMI, Silver Spring's expandable, open standards-based, and secure IP network can and is increasingly being used for other aspects such as distribution automation, demand response, and outage management – all applications that allow utilities to drive cost and capex savings and use software that SSNI is looking to monetize. As a testimony to the strength of Silver Spring's platform, the company has been awarded contracts on over 22 million devices, has won approximately 31% of AMI communications mandates in the U.S. since 2002, and has won strong market presence in Australia, Hitachi partnership in Japan, and mandates in Brazil and Southeast Asia.
Osborne is modeling $355.7 million in revenue this year, and an 11-cent net profit per share, up from a reported $304.3 million and a 22-cent loss last year.
Likewise, Credit Suisse's Patrick Jobin starts the stock at Outperform with a $26 price target, writing that "Silver Spring's model is attractive and
will provide above peer growth given the multiple levers: (1) new smart grid
awards, (2) proven platform upsell of new high-ROI offerings, and (3)
recurring services," and that the U.S. is "already past the tipping point of adoption and Silver Spring is well positioned to benefit from continued awards."
Silver Spring's addressable market is 1.5 billion "endpoints," he argues, and less than 8% of those have "advanced metering solutions," he contends.
Jobin thinks the stock can enjoy multiple expansion:
We expect multiple expansion to occur as Silver Spring enters the next phase in our valuation methodology framework (Exhibit 7). We believe Silver Spring is in the midst of the Demonstrating Platform Strength phase. Over the next year, we expect Silver Spring will enter the Leveraging Full Platform phase which we expect will correspond with multiple expansion as the risk profile is lowered from less reliance on large projects (and a higher mix of recurring revenue) and proven operating leverage to deliver earnings growth.
Jobin is modeling $350 million in revenue this year and net loss of 6 cents.
Piper Jaffray's Troy Jensen, on the other hand, starts the stock at Neutral, with a $19 price target, writing that the company "will likely capture a significant amount of this market growth" of 23% in the "smart grid technology" field expected "over the next three years."
However, "We believe that lack of near term catalysts rules out the possibility of a significant multiple expansion, and see limited upside to current trading levels," writes Jensen.
The $7 billion estimated size of the smart grid equipment market is attractive, but it's also very speculative, writes Jensen:
We believe future growth will be driven by the continued adoption of this technology as utility companies aim to increase operational efficiency, improve grid reliability and manage peak power usage to better control costs for both themselves and the customer. Currently, there are no yearly forecasts or market share reports issued for the space, which makes long-term forecasting almost impossible.
Bottom line, for Jensen, the stock's P/E multiple doesn't give the shares much room to move upward:
We believe shares of Silver Spring Networks are fairly priced at current levels and believe lack of near term catalysts rules out the possibility for significant multiple expansion. SSNI currently trades at a 20x our estimated FY14 non-GAAP EPS. This compares to the peer group average P/E of 12.1x, which consists of other high tech growth stocks within our coverage universe and coinciding technology hardware sectors (storage and wireless). The significant premium that Silver Spring currently trades at leads us to believe that shares will likely remain range-bound over the next 12 months as we anticipate little upside to the current earnings estimates. On an EV/sales basis, Silver Spring trades at a modest discount to the peer group based on CY14 estimates.

- Description
Exposed on the northern bank of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near the downstream end of 'Widewater' (upstream of the Old Anglers Inn access point), this antiform is the result of ancient mountain-building processes. A fold that goes up in the middle is called an 'antiform,' and if there is stratigraphic coherence to it (i.e., the youngest is on top), then we call it an 'anticline.' These rocks, the Mather Gorge Formation, were originally deposited as layers of sand and mud in the deep sea, but were then squished and baked and contorted and recrystallized and partially melted around 460 million years ago, during an ancient episode of mountain-building called the Taconian Orogeny.
As the dark stripe down the middle shows, this GigaPan was shot on a partly cloudy day.

The handicappers at Harness Racing New Zealand are not always a trainer's friend, but Margo Nyhan was happy to praise them yesterday.
Nyhan's 7-year-old Julius Caesar pacer Sonnetsson was given a 10m lift in the handicaps for yesterday's $12,000 Oamaru Cup and she was grateful the horse had the chance to regain some form.
"It made a big difference because he's such a good beginner," she said.
Driver Peter Davis got Sonnetsson to the lead, before handing up to Falcon Crown shortly after the start. Falcon Crown then handed up to Democracy, giving Sonnetsson plenty of time to have a breather before he shot up the passing lane to win by 1 lengths in 3:58.5.
Sonnetsson has tested Nyhan at home, with a ligament injury behind a knee requiring her specialist skills.
"I actually do acupuncture therapy and if it wasn't for the therapy I do, he wouldn't even race," she said.
"He's a six-win horse, so we'll have to pick and choose his races, but we'll just see what's coming up."

KY Yute Season was a complete bust for us. Angus and I spent his second-to-last yute hunt waiting desperately for something to happen. Saturday we heard gobbles way off the property and two gunshots. Sunday, there was one gobble about 150 yards out around 900 and a couple of hens that hopped down off the roost and disappeared. The rest? Complete and utter silence.
About the only thing I can think of, and this is the only reason I'm not staying quiet is that I suspect two things are at work:
1) The drought left very little for the turkeys to eat on our ridge. The turkeys are mostly elsewhere at the moment.
2) We had a cold bleak March. That might have put the gobs a week or so behind in their normal schedule.
We are forecasted to have unseasonably warm temps and lots of rain this next week. It will all clear out for the adult Opener next Saturday. My hope is that clover will be out by then and the turkeys will be out gorging on it. I'm also hoping the perturbed schedule will mean we gobs are saving all their hot emotions for next weekend.

"Smeeeeee....Heeeeeee...." -- Kryten 4000
I saw Al (sigh... ) at the Perris Fair in 199something and it was great! I actually saw him (sigh... ) 1 1/2 times; I heard the earlier concert from the outside. So I guess that means I heard him 1 1/2 times. It's probably a small stage, so you can get a better view of him (sigh... ) He's the dreamiest... (sigh... )
But he wouldn't play "Yoda," no matter how much we whined and begged and cajoled. I'm torn.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
OK, ok, ok ... don't tell anybody this, but a long time ago I worked on one of Weird Al's videos. It was the video for "Gump" and I'll admit that Al seemed to be a very pleasant sort of guy. But I don't know about him being "the dreamiest." He was actually kind of ... errr ... weird.Originally Posted by Bel-Cam Jos
I went to the Weird Al show last night and it was absolutely excellent! There are some sick fanboys of Al out there. One guy came dressed completely as Popeye, why I have no idea, he even had the bulging arms and pipe. Nevertheless a great time. For his encore he came out in Jedi Robes and played both The Saga Begins & Yoda. What I thought was real good was he pulled out some older songs. Melony, Dog Eat Dog, My Bologna and Theme to Rocky! He also played some lesser known current songs that I thought were great, The Horoscope song, Wanna Be Your Lover, and The Party at the Leper Colony which sounds real good live. Plus a ton of Poodle Hat stuff and his usual songs he has videos for, except Bedrock Anthem. A GREAT SHOW. If you haven't seen Al it is a must see. It's just 2 hours of fun and laughter. And the comedy bits between costume changes are maybe even the best part of the whole show. SEE HIM!!!! It's great.
"Be excellent to each other, and....PARTY ON DUDES!!!"
Nuts! He was at a casino in Biloxi,MS(about 400 mi. from me) earlier in the month. I'm sure that would've been a great place to see him.
Well I saw Weird Al last night at the Western Washington Fair. Holy freakin' crap was it awesome. The place was packed (10,000 people) and he played songs from every single album of his. Kids as young as 6 were singing along. There was a couple in their 50's in front of me that almost fell out of their seats laughing.
Al had many costume changes -- Everything from Michael Jackson (Eat It and Fat), Talking Heads (Dog Eat Dog), EMENEM, Kurt Cobain, a lounge lizard (for that new pick-up line song), a pizza delivery guy (making fun of that Celine Titanic song), and for the finale, Jedi costumes. Seems he even got some members of the 501st Legion to show up and dance in the background. Vader, a few StormTroopers, a Biker Scout, and an Imperial Dignitary were there. Of course the encore was The Saga Begins and Yoda.
He also interacted with the crowd a lot more than previously. He came into the audience at least 5 times for various songs, sitting in peoples laps, etc. Just amazing.
If you like Weird Al, DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!
"Smeeeeee....Heeeeeee...." -- Kryten 4000
First of all, Happy 44th Al! (And happy birthday to Bel-Cam, too. What were the odds?) Next, I had an Al-piphany today. I have no idea why, but for some reason "I Want a New Duck" has been going through my mind today (and I don't really like the song much) and I got it. There's a lyric that says:
Now I get it! And only after 15+ years, too!One who'll teach me how to swim and help me not to drown
And show me how to get down
How to get down baby
Get it?
Do you get it?
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Duck=gets down
ha ha, I never even realized that "get it" part was in there, but it gave me a chuckle trying to understand what you were getting at.
Back and more bearded than ever before
Just picked up the Complete Collection of Al's videos on DVD!!!!!!!!
Even had the video for BOB.
No matter how I die, even if there is a suicide note; it was murder. Cheers!
In a store or online? I'd be interesting to see an in-store display for this one!Originally Posted by scruffziller

We're settling in for
Facebook's (FB)
media event at its headquarters, which is expected to reveal
technologies for Google's (GOOG)
Android operating system, reportedly
through a partnership with handset maker
can follow along via webcast on the company's site, where
you can also replay the whole event following its conclusion.
Facebook shares are up 26 cents, or 1%, at $26.51. Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg is on stage. In
fact, it is not a new phone, and it is not an operating system for
phones, says Zuckerberg. It is an application you can install on
your Android phone called "Home." The
program takes over the home screens of Android phones, with its own
arrangement of icons for the apps on the phone, and something
called "cover feed" with a focus on
updates from Facebook contacts, allowing you to swipe through
full-screen updates from individuals. "If your phone is designed
around people, not apps, then your notifications should be too."
"It's just one swipe away from the home screen and
the lock screen," says Zuckerberg. Something called
"chat heads" allow you to move icons
of your individual contacts into and out of the focus of the
device. They hover above everything else you're doing, to make
friends' communiques always visible. Demo time. The application has
lots of the same functions of
"launcher" programs on Android phones,
such as roaming through screens of icons and placing individual app
icons on pages. Executive Joey Flynn comes up to talk more in-depth
about the messaging functions. He's
talking about the eternal dilemma of whether to respond to a
message in the middle of doing another task on the phone. "You should really be able
to respond to a friend in the middle of whatever you're doing on
the phone. This is the idea of chat heads. With chat heads, You can
talk to whoever, where you are on the phone." The software will
become available via a prompt in existing Facebook apps for
Android, which take you to the Google "Play Store," to download the
software. The software will come to tablet computers "in several
months," the company says. Home will be updated once a month with
new features. The company emphasizes it has no intention to
"fork" the Android OS, that the
software is beneficial because it's "open." The software is part of
Facebook's new "mobile first" focus. In closing remarks, Zuckerberg
says the company is "reall proud about Home. How natural and smooth
all the interactions are. We think this is the best version of
Facebook there is." And it's video time! Guy on an airplane. As he
browses strange stuff on the phone in Cover Feed, those very same
strange people, and cats, pop up in the aisle of the plane.
First release will be available on
April 12th. But … there's
one more thing. "Phone makers come to
us all the time and ask us to put Facebook on their phones. We want
to empower them. We've established the Facebook Home program.
Before even announcing Home, a lot of the best phone makers and
carriers have already signed up. Today, I want to highlight two,
and HTC. They've worked together to build the first set of phones
with Home on them." He invites up Ralph de
La Vega, president and CEO of AT&T's
mobility unit, and Peter Chou, CEO of
HTC. Chou introduces the "HTC First," the only phone with
Facebook Home pre-loaded. It will run on AT&T's
LTE network, he says. De la Vega comes
on, says "You will have a great Facebook experience with a device
designed from the get go for that. It's simple, it's elegant, it's
not designed to be a big phone, but a phone that feels good to
you." De la Vega says it is the most "immersive" phone he's ever
used. The phone will be available April 12th for
$99.99 exclusively at AT&T.
AT&T is taking pre-orders
today att.com/facebookhome. However, neither that URL, nor
www.facebookhome.com, are currently coming up if you punch them
into a Web browser. Facebook shares are up 86 cents, or 3%, at
$27.11. Zuckerberg says the HTC First will be coming to other
carriers such as Orange in Europe. And
that's it.

Ted Leonsis to co-lead as interim Groupon chief (Video)
Groupon Inc. Co-chairman Ted Leonsis will jointly lead the Chicago-based daily deal giant while its board seeks a permanent replacement for Andrew Mason, whose departure from the CEO post was announced Thursday.
Leonsis and Executive Chairman Eric Lefkofsky will serve as co-CEOs of Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN), a competitor of D.C.-based LivingSocial Inc.
"Groupon will continue to invest in growth, and we are confident that with our deep management team and market-leading position, the company is well positioned for the future," Leonsis said in a statement.
Mason, a pioneer of the now flailing daily deal business, leaves amid fresh financial difficulties for the company. Groupon released disappointing earnings this week, posting a net loss of $81 million in the fourth quarter.

…titty out like what, I don't give a f*$#k!…
Those words are some of Lil' Kim's most famous lyrics — and, you may remember, the theme of the skimpy breast-exposing (but nipple-concealing) ensemble she wore to the '99 Video Music Awards. That profound line also inspired my Halloween costume in 2008, which, I contend, was the best costume ever. I naturally have a few physical characteristics in common with Kim — stature, ethnicity, confidence, vulgar jargon, etc. — but that's not why the costume was as amazing as it was. I know on Halloween that I'm not only amusing myself but also everyone else who hits the town hoping to be amused by people like me. I know I have to be cheeky in more ways than one. So I reconstructed over a period of weeks, the best replica of the costume I possibly could with this in mind, and hit the town with an attitude to match.
Some people (haters) judge women dressed in sexy Halloween costumes. Today, in a Utah Statesmen editorial titled "OPINION: Sluttishness Is Not a Halloween Costume," the author writes, "The whole point of slutty costumes is to solicit sex." And the Washington Times printed a few days ago, "Self-respect begins internally, but extends to how we dress, even on occasions like Halloween." These writers may think that women who get extra sexy on Halloween "have issues." You know what? We do! If, to you, issues include raging self-confidence that completely refutes the notion that women ought to feel "fat" or generally bad about their bodies and themselves all the time. And the fearlessness it takes to shamelessly enjoy, as an adult, a little juvenile Halloween fun. It's the one and only day of the year that we self-assured females can leave our homes in lingerie and a wig and not be presumed a prostitute (unless, of course, that's what you're going for).
My Halloween ensembles require thought, time, effort, money, and, frankly, nerve. Since 2007 — my senior year of college and the year I became secure with my body — my Halloween costumes have served as excuses to parade around in revealing outfits. But there is a difference between being sexy for the sake of it and being sexy with intention. I'm not just putting on underwear and running outside. You will NEVER catch me in the standard seasonal costume shop that sells "sexy" versions of just about everything in plastic bags. I will never be a "sexy nurse" or anything else cliché like that. I tend to dress up as someone current, because it's funnier than being, say, a "sexy bunny," which is just a big snore. At this point a "sexy bunny" or nurse or whatever is like the C-Span of costumes — really boring! I choose costumes that just so happen to allow me to expose my lovely figure — things that are authentically, organically skimpy, if you will. Like Lil' Kim, or this year's costume: Gabby Douglas. (What else?)
I'm confident that my Gabby Douglas portrayal will be the best of anyone else who may attempt this costume. Normally, this year being no exception, it takes weeks to complete my Halloween attire. I try to have my idea set by the end of September and initiate formation of the costume by October 1. The Lil' Kim VMA costume required me to purchase a unitard which I had to take to my trusted tailor at the opposite end of town from my apartment. I also had to procure just the right kind of purple lacy fabric to pin to the unitard. Now, this pinning process was only possible while I was actually wearing the unitard, which turned bathroom trips into a three-women effort all night. I don't think a woman who simply wants to show off her assets would endure this painstaking of a process — but for me it's just as much about making myself, my friends, and everyone else laugh as looking hot.
Wearing sexy costumes also requires fortitude, which any Halloween enthusiast ought to respect. A fireman (the regular kind, not the sexy kind) is not going to freeze in a freak Halloween Nor'easter or be subject to sexual harassment all night. I've gone out on Halloween in freak blizzards, but I never hide my costume under a coat. What's the point of putting all that work into a costume if you're going to do that? But also, I hit house parties or bar crawl so as to minimize time outside. (And we all know booze has body-warming properties, so there's that.) There is also the obvious threat of a sexual assault/harassment. In my VMAs look, I was a hit with lesbians. I thought for sure that my friends/bodyguards would have been batting off skeevy men all night, but it was quite the opposite. These women were lifting my exposed left breast the same way Diana Ross did to Lil' Kim at the VMAs, clearly without hesitation or inhibition.
I strongly believe that any women with the fortitude to pull off such a costume also has the foresight to prepare for interactions of this kind. It's in fine print at the bottom of the "I wanna be confident and sexy on Halloween" contract, so to speak. But it felt awesome, even though the boob touching was a little weird, to be celebrated for being sexy and proud of it by so many other ladies.
I find it perplexing that critics of women who wear sexy Halloween costumes claim to support women's rights and female empowerment on the other 364 days of the year — yet they chastize the women who have the gall to "go there" on Halloween. Feministe wrote last year that the "sexy" Halloween phenomenon "throws the entire [feminist] movement back about 50 years, to a time when a Playboy Club-style Dirty Cop was more generally accepted than an actual female cop on the actual street." Well, I'm proud of my body, I'm proud of my costume-making and -planning skills, and I'm proud of the cheeky humor behind them. But you know what they say:
- The National Enquirer tabloid is growing by speaking to an audience ignored by mainstream media and backing Trump.
- An American soldier died in Iraq this weekend after a roadside bomb exploded during a security check, the Pentagon said.
- As the number of terrorist convictions has increased in the UK, so has the concern that other inmates could too be lured into extremism.
- Selena Gomez said the backlash surrounding "13 Reasons Why" "is going to come no matter what" and noted that she's very proud of the series.

Let He Who Is Without Sin... (episode)
Redirected from Let He Who Is Without Sin…
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
While Worf, Dax, Bashir, Leeta, and Quark vacation on Risa, Worf decides to join a radical fundamentalist group determined to start a political revolution on Risa.
Summary Edit
Odo and Benjamin Sisko are at the station's Replimat, discussing the coming of Miles and Keiko O'Brien's second child. Odo says that "Sean," one of their name choices, means "swamp" in Bajoran. Jadzia Dax comes in nursing a pulled neck muscle, her eighth muscle pull in several weeks and one of many injuries she has sustained since she began seeing Worf. Sisko wishes they could be romantic in a less violent way, but that's unlikely since Jadzia has managed to talk Worf into going to Risa for their vacation, instead of Earth as they originally planned. Sisko is astonished that Worf agreed to it, and wonders if he's begun to loosen up. But as the Klingon enters and orders his usual prune juice, Jadzia claims that he's the same old Worf. When he arrives, Worf says he wants to speak alone with Jadzia, and they begin to mildly argue about her having lunch with Captain Boday, a Gallamite who turns out to be one of Dax' former lovers. Soon after Sisko and Odo leave, Leeta and Dr. Bashir come in to inquire about their trip, asking if they can hitch a ride on the runabout as they seek to have their own romantic leave together. Worf, although not pleased, relents and permits them to come along. In the end, a fifth person joins them on the runabout to Risa, much to Worf's dismay: Quark, who would not give Leeta the time off unless he was permitted to tag along.
On the way to Risa, Leeta insists on serving everybody (except for Quark, her boss) their drinks. Quark is quite impatient, even though it's a relatively short trip, and his attitude almost makes Worf abort the trip altogether. Quark gives everybody but Worf a horga'hn, Risan fertility idols, which are used when achieving jamaharon, before wisely returning to his cabin on the runabout.
Once on Risa, Bashir and Leeta go off on their own as promised, and Quark immediately gets lucky with his horga'hn. Worf did not change out of his uniform, and seems uncomfortable with being on Risa, though Jadzia does her best to change his mood. She almost succeeds until they are interrupted by Arandis, one of Curzon Dax's old lovers. On his last trip to Risa, Arandis ended up sending the elderly Curzon to his death during jamaharon. Worf is getting more uncomfortable by the minute, near the point of jealousy, and it's beginning to upset Jadzia greatly. She challenges his assertion that he is not too controlling of her by having a glass of icoberry juice, which they both know she is mildly allergic to. He relents from his jealousy again, and she urges him to put a swimsuit on so they can go swimming.
Worf encounters Pascal Fullerton the leader of the radical fundamentalists group "New Essentialists". These fundamentalists are attempting to start a political revolution on Risa. Their aim is to fight against loosening morals in the Federation. Fullerton explains that morals have become degenerated and amusement has a higher priority than ever before. The event is only attended by few people.
Meanwhile Worf and Jadzia see Bashir with another woman, not Leeta. Worf is upset about that and sees this as affirmation for the thesis of Fullerton. When they meet Leeta in the massage facility with another man, Jadzia can hardly calm him down. She explains to him that Leeta and Bashir will have their own reasons for behaving the way they are, and that they should be left to sort it out themselves.
Later, Leeta and Bashir explain that they came to Risa to break up, an old Bajoran tradition. Leeta then reveals that she has developed feelings for Rom.
The group of fundamentalists attack some Risan visitors during dinner, using phasers. When Jadzia and Worf, who are at the dinner, attempt to fight back, Fullerton calls a stop to the action. It turns out that the phaser cells are empty and Fullerton arranged the event so as to demonstrate how vulnerable the Federation has become. Worf is impressed, whereas Jadzia disagrees and tells him he can't control her and should be more relaxed.
Worf sees Jadzia sculpting with Arandis and is jealous. He decides to help Fullerton make his point. With the help of the Klingon they manipulate the weather management system and make it rain, thus gaining attention.
The rain creates an unpleasant ambiance on Risa because everybody expected sunny weather. Fullerton explains his satisfaction to Worf. But when Worf leaves, the fundamentalist whispers to his assistant that all the attention will be forgotten when the weather control system restarts. He wants to take things one step further.
Meanwhile, Jadzia confronts Worf and asks him why he is so obsessed with controlling everything in his life. Worf tells her that when he was a child, he accidentally killed a classmate, Mikel, during a school soccer game when they both made a play for the ball and their heads collided. Worf saw that Humans were extremely fragile, so he decided to restrain himself so that no one else suffered.
Worf and Jadzia are alarmed by an earthquake. It doesn't take them long to realize that Fullerton has something to do with it. This time however he has lost the support of Worf who tells Fullerton that the Federation will persevere against the likes of the Klingons, the Dominion and, most importantly, people like him. The two then fight, with Worf easily overcoming Fullerton. Worf and Jadzia manage to beat the fundamentalists and readjust the weather control system. Now even Worf sees for himself that one can relax and enjoy themselves without losing control, and he and Dax decide to make the most of their remaining vacation.

"Isn't he sweet?"

"Tell the Ferengi to return to his cabin!"

- - Quark
"I take it the scenery has improved?"
"A few months ago, when I was commanding the Defiant on a scouting mission to the Gamma Quadrant, we encountered a protostar cluster, a swirling mass of color set against a background of glowing clouds and burning sky. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, until now."
"I've got to take you on vacation more often."
- - Jadzia and Worf
"If you want something to eat, you get it from a replicator. If you want amusement, you go to a holosuite. And if you need protection, you call for Starfleet. But someday, someday soon, you're going to have to learn to take care of yourselves. Because if I see you as helpless children, then how do you think the Borg see you? Or the Romulans, or the Cardassians, or the Klingons, or the Dominion? These empires look at the Federation, and they see a prize, a prize that we have forgotten how to protect. And if we don't change our ways, they're going to take it from us."
- - Fullerton
"The way I see it, we've got two options. We can either turn our backs on childish things and re-embrace the hard work that built the Federation in the first place, or we can lie here napping in the sun, until we wake up with Jem'Hadar guns to our heads. The choice is ours. Heaven help us if we make the wrong one."
- - Fullerton
"You think you're safe here in this paradise of yours, but you're not. What if we had been Jem'Hadar or Cardassians or Klingons or Romulans? You'd be dead now. Even you Starfleet officers were lulled into a false sense of security. If you could be taken unaware, what chance do the rest of us have? The sad truth is the galaxy is a hostile place. Forget that, even for a moment, and you risk losing everything. Just something for you to think about while you wait for your desserts."
- - Fullerton
(together) "Rom?"
(handing Bashir the Horga'hn) "Here, you need this more than I do."
- - Bashir and Quark
"I've seen drier days on Ferenginar. And we have a hundred seventy-eight different words for rain. Right now it's glebbening out there. And that's bad."
- - Quark
"It's the humidity - it dampens the food, makes everything mushy. Trust me...there's no word for 'crisp' on Ferenginar."
- - Quark
"So what do we do now?"
"Now, we watch the suns set."
"I have a better idea. Why don't we go swimming together?"
"I...didn't bring a bathing suit."
"Well, I won't tell if you won't."
- - Jadzia Dax and Worf
Background information Edit
Story and scriptEdit
- The story for this episode originated in a discussion about Eugene O'Neill's 1947 play A Moon for the Misbegotten. The main theme of the play is the destructiveness of alcohol and sexuality, and the lives of several characters end in tragedy due to their pursuit of drink and sexual satisfaction. At the time it was written and first performed, the play was extremely controversial due to its frank depiction of alcoholic dependence and sexual obsession, and it was this controversy that the producers wished to replicate. According to Ira Steven Behr, "the idea was to do a show that would rattle the audience, that would show sexuality and push the envelope about Risa. Once you get past the titillation, is this a lifestyle that people in the 20th century can approve of?" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- A number of problems occurred during the filming of "Let He Who Is Without Sin..." at a beach in Malibu, Los Angeles. For example, Terry Farrell cannot be in direct sunlight for very long, which meant that for many of the exteriors, there needed to be shelter nearby. According to director Rene Auberjonois however, for the scenes on the beach, the producers forgot to organize a tent for Farrell, and Auberjonois himself had to hunt one down and set it up, putting the shoot several hours behind schedule. Another problem involved the extras. During Monte Markham's speech, Auberjonois picked out a small bank for the extras to stand on. However, when they got to the spot, they discovered it was covered in tackburrs, making standing still exceptionally difficult, and prolonging the shoot considerably. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
Deleted sceneEdit
- In the scene where Worf walks in on Leeta and her Risian companion in the purple mesh tank top, Leeta was originally naked and in a bath tub. This is evident in the original thirty-second promotional spot, available at startrek.com.
- Robert Hewitt Wolfe regards this as his least favorite episode out of all of those that he wrote or co-wrote. Ira Steven Behr has commented that if he had to choose one episode he could go back and refine, it would be this one; "It was supposed to be a show that looked at 24th century morals and sexuality. We pretty much failed on both counts." (AOL chat, 1997)
- Similarly, Ronald D. Moore says "it's a show we all wish we had a second crack at." Director Rene Auberjonois comments "it was not my happiest time as a director." Even Alexander Siddig disliked the episode, particularly his own performance. Nana Visitor had given birth to their son the night before he shot the scene where he and Leeta break up, and according to Siddig, he had never been so unfocused on-set as he was when shooting that scene. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Ron Moore also commented: "I think everyone looks back at the Risa show and says, 'I wish we could take another crack at that one'. It was supposed to be a fun romp of an episode, but just didn't come through for whatever reason. I still don't think it was a bad idea, but it could have been a really cool, really fun episode. It was a great idea to go to Risa with Worf and Dax. It just didn't quite come together". ("Writing Across the Universe", Star Trek Monthly, issue 29)
- In the eyes of Robert Hewitt Wolfe and Ira Steven Behr, the main reason the episode failed was because of restrictions placed upon how open they could be about sexuality. This was a show that was supposed to be examining sex, but it wasn't allowed to actually show any sex. As Wolfe explains, "kids watch this show, and in some markets it airs at five o'clock. That meant we couldn't show skin, so there was no sex. It became a totally asexual show, and once that happened the whole thing got flushed down the toilet because none of it made sense anymore." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Terry Farrell commented: "Vanessa Williams was a very good guest star. She's the tiniest Human being in the world. We had two days out on the beach in Malibu, which was great. We don't get do that very often on DS9. We also had some incredibly long shooting days. I had a 20-hour day after a 17-hour day, which came after a 15-hour day. I was crying at one point because they told me were going to work that 20-hour day, and I had to be on set for the first scene of the next episode the next day. I was crying and one of our guys went to get me a tissue. He couldn't find me one, so he brought me a towel. Major, major tears right?! It was funny and I just ended up laughing". (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine Vol. 18)
- The poll run in 1999 by Sci-Fi Entertainment which saw "In the Pale Moonlight" voted as Deep Space Nine's best show, "Profit and Lace" was voted its worst, followed by "Move Along Home" and "Let He Who Is Without Sin...".
Continuity and triviaEdit
- Nana Visitor (Kira Nerys), Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko), and Colm Meaney (Miles O'Brien) do not appear in this episode. Nana Visitor's absence was due to her giving birth to Django, her son with Alexander Siddig, while the episode was in production. The reason Kira appears in "Trials and Tribble-ations" but not in "The Assignment" or "Let He Who Is Without Sin..." is because "Trials and Tribble-ations" was filmed before "The Assignment", but the two episodes were switched in broadcast schedule.
- Ira Steven Behr also wrote the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Captain's Holiday", where Risa first appeared.
- We learn the circumstances of Curzon's death in this episode.
- This episode is one of very few to tell a story of Worf's childhood.
- The colony of Gault was first mentioned in TNG: "Heart of Glory".
- Captain Boday is mentioned for the second time in this episode, having previously been referred to in the second season episode "The Maquis, Part II". It was revealed in that episode that he and Dax had had dinner together several times.
- This episode is featured in the "Star Trek's Beautiful Alien Women" documentary of the Star Trek: Insurrection Special Edition DVD. Terry Farrell talks about working with Vanessa Williams and Chase Masterson about the scene with the Risian male.
- Quark references the rainy climate of Ferenginar, which had been seen previously in "Family Business".
- If you look closely at Dax's swimsuit you can see the Speedo logo on her right hip. It could be that Speedo is still making swimwear in the 24th century.
- Bashir says to Worf "When in Rome", which is the second time a character has said that to Worf. The first time was in TNG: "Justice", where Riker said it to him while the Enterprise was visiting Rubicun III, also a paradise-like planet with loose sexual morals.
- The scene with Quark and the Risian females mirrors a scene in TOS: "Shore Leave" with Doctor McCoy and several imaginary women.
- The title is a Biblical allusion, rendered in the King James Version as "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

Krueger named Carnegie Scholar
Posted May 9, 2003; 10:50 a.m.
Alan Krueger, the Bendheim Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs , was named a 2003 Carnegie Scholar. Krueger, director of the Survey Research Center, will receive up to $100,000 over the next two years from the Carnegie Corp. to re-evaluate three prominent school voucher experiments.
Recently, Krueger, and his co-author, Princeton University graduate student Pei Zhu, re-examined data from a widely referenced New York City voucher experiment conducted from 1997 to 2000 by Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. and the Program on Education Policy and Governance at Harvard University. Their re-analysis of the study's data concluded that the experiment's findings were not nearly as robust as previous researchers had reported. The Carnegie award will enable Krueger to extend his work on New York and expand his analysis to include two other cities that participated in voucher experiments.
More information about the Carnegie Scholars is available in a press release .

What Camcorder is right for me?
First, it's helpful to figure out what type of user you are:
- Travelers who want to capture memories
- Parents or expecting parents who want to record their children
- Filmmakers or hobbyists who want to record the world around them
- Gadget gurus who need the latest and greatest new toy
- Retirees or grandparents who often display characteristics of both A and B
You might find that you fall into multiple categories. After you take a look at why, when and where you want to record using a camcorder, then you can more easily decide what type of camcorder is right for you.
Buying Tips:
- Know your options: Take the time to surf the web and learn about the various brands and models available.
- Set a Budget: After you have done your homework set a price and try not to exceed it.
- Determine your frequency of use: How often you utilize your camera should weigh in on how much you are willing to invest in one
- Familiarize yourself with the technical terms: Learn what you want and need in a camera and take the time to learn those terms.
- Determine your operating comfort level: Try out various models and see what weight, design and model feels right. Keep in mind that you could end up holding the camera for hours on end so this is an important factor to consider.
- Ease of Use: Choose a camera that is easy to use and has a variety of manual options.
- Options: Manual options make the filming process much more manageable for a beginner or intermediate user so be sure to consider the best option for you.
- Don't believe the hype: Don't let unnecessary features govern your buying decision.
- Take Notice of the Recording Format: Most cameras record onto tape or DVD but some record onto memory cards.
- Check out the LCD Screen in Daylight if Possible: It is important that you are able to see what you are filming with ease. Some screens wash out in bright sunlight and take away from the functionality of the camera.
- Make Battery life a priority: The battery that comes with most camcorders often lasts about an hour or so. Consider purchasing a longer lasting battery for longer excursions.
What Camcorders does Sam's Club offer?
Sams Club offers a wide range camcorders by various brand name manufacturers such as Cannon, Flip, Sony, Kodak, Samsung, Panasonic and more. With a variety of styles and options to choose from as well as a wide range of prices, there is something for everyone!

When you're feeling like something robust and spicy, a recipe with diablo in the title is a signal you need look no further. Tasty Latin American flavors and familiar ingredients such as pasta, black beans and sirloin steak marry well for an adventure at the dinner table.
Bow-tie pasta can be used in place of the mini-lasagna noodles.
Beef sirloin steak is a tender and less-expensive cut of meat, which makes it a good choice for entertaining a group. You could also use strip steak, which is more tender but also more expensive.
Chipotle chilies are often sold canned in adobo sauce, which is a smoky, spicy chili-based concoction. Look for the chilies in larger supermarkets or Mexican markets.

Tree planting information and application forms
The Parks Recreation & Waterfront Department plants over 800 new and replacement street trees in the parkway strip (area between the sidewalk and curb) each year. There is no additional cost to the adjacent property owner for tree planting, but the City does require the property owner to water the tree for the first two years after planting. The City also covers cost associated with any necessary concrete removal.
The species of tree to be planted on a specific street, along with the planting location is determined by the City. If a species has not been designated for a specific street, staff will be happy to work with the neighborhood in selecting an appropriate species. Every effort will be made to select a species compatible with the existing tree plantings on the street, the neighborhood identity, the mature size of the tree, space available for the tree to grow, the presence of underground and overhead utility lines, utility poles, streetlights, driveway approaches and fire hydrants.
By applying to have a street tree planted, the applicant:
All planting applications will be processed in the order they are received. Due to the number of applications received, actual planting can take up to a year after an application is received.

By Adam Armour/The Itawamba County Times
Usually by this time — two weeks before the curtain rises, the year's big production — IAHS Indian Players director Victoria Blake is pulling out her hair.
But not this year, she said.
"We're actually really enjoying it this year," Blake said with a laugh. "It's a lot less stressful than usual."
Part of the reason for the lower stress levels is that this year's production, based on C.S. Lewis' classic children's book, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," isn't an elaborate musical, something the Indian Players have been tackling annually for more than half a decade. This year, there are no huge musical numbers to choreograph or songs to memorize; there's just a story to be told — a good one at that.
The play will open on Wednesday, Feb. 27, at the Fulton Grammar School with three matinee performances for area students. On Thursday, Feb. 28, and Friday, March 1, the play will be open to the general public with 7 p.m. shows both evenings. Finally, on Saturday, March 2, there will be two performances: 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Because past productions have been so popular, seats are expected to fill quickly. Tickets may be purchased from the school in advance of a performance or at the door.
The production is being directed by Blake and IAHS graduate McKenzie King, who performed as Belle in last year's production of "Disney's Beauty and the Beast."
The primary cast includes Chris Johnson as Aslan, Valerie Blake as the White Witch, Joe Douglas as Tumnus, Noah Lacastro and Eliza Johnson as Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and Anna Robinson, Adam Whitten, Madi Everhart and Cole Holland as siblings Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter.
For those unfamiliar, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" tells the story of the Pevensie children — Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy — who stumble through their uncle's wardrobe into the magical world of Narnia: A world of fantastic creatures but beset by endless winter. The tale is renowned not just for its adventure, but the Christian themes at its heart.
Blake said the stage adaptation of beloved author C.S. Lewis' most famous work has a strong story to tell with themes that are relatable to both children and adults. The story carries themes about sacrifice and looking beyond the surface of things. It's slightly heavier material for the group, something Blake feels comfortable exploring.
"It was a play that many of the kids wanted to perform and I knew would appeal to the community," Blake said. "It's a really lovely story."
It's just the kind of change the group needed, she said. She thinks their audience will like it, too.
"You don't want to do the same thing all of the time," Blake said. We've done so many musicals that I thought it was time for a change."
But just because the production isn't a musical doesn't mean there aren't some mountainous challenges to overcome. One of the greatest challenges with this year's production is the scope and scale of Lewis' story. Set in a fantasy world of perpetual winter (but never Christmas) in which talking animals and mythical creatures live together, the play offers its fair share of work for costume and set designers.
Fortunately, Blake said, she's had a lot of help with both. Her mother-in-law, Barbara Blake, has been helping create the numerous costumes and creatures needed to tell the story — including the titular lion, Aslan — while her husband, Robert, has been helping craft the new sets and other large-scale props.
"They've really delivered," Blake said of her volunteers.
Also tricky are the portrayals of many of the story's central, non-human characters: Mr. Tumnus the faun; Mr. and Mrs. Beaver; and most notably, Aslan, who must be appear both fearsome and benevolent.
"[Aslan] couldn't really be portrayed like the lion in "Wizard of Oz," Blake said, adding that if Aslan appears too silly, the audience won't be able to take the character seriously.
Equally important is the portrayal of the white witch, Jadis, who must be both friendly and dangerous.
"She can't really be a bent over, evil kind of witch," said Valerie Blake, who plays the character in the IAHS production. "She doesn't really look like a witch. She has to have a sweet side and a mean side."
It's just one of the thousands of challenges that seem to face the group each year. But, as it always has in the past, everything is pulling together … with a lot less resistance this year, too.
"I've been having a blast," Blake said. "My goal this year was to get through this entire year without having a mental breakdown. I think I've achieved that."

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Japan (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/japan/)
- - Is there anyone on here in Japan? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/japan/19672-there-anyone-here-japan.html)
Is there anyone on here in Japan?
I'm losing my mind here in Japan waiting for the snow. I've been to Karuizawa Prince these last two Saturdays, but the man made snow is just depressing.
Can't wait for December!
Hollar at me if you live in Japan!
Me! i live in Tokyo, goin to karuizawa on Nov 28th, anyone else here?? the more the merrier
I just get my board set up on some tarp in my living room. Practice 180s and presses and just get the feel for the board.
Still a while till December but always worth the wait.
I'm in Sapporo.
Wish I had carpet, or a tatami room, big enough to practice 180s on indoors... and to piss off my neighbour below :)
Our first skijo should be opening hopefully next week, fingers crossed. Can't wait for December and something deep.
My wife looks at me like "not again" every time I strap into my board and get the tarp out. Still in the last month I genuinely think I have more control over my presses and my boarding muscles are ready for the snow.
I had to curb the 180's as the whole house shakes so much it wakes up my newborn son;).
Tarp's a good idea, I might grab one from Homac.
Just out of Interest Onji what do you ride?
I have a 161 Volkl zenit for bigger pow days and I usually ride a ride highlife 158 (I am 170lbs).
Both are great for freeride.
I am looking at getting a twin deck (proto ct 157 maybe) to get more into freestlye riding. Still need to be able to rip up the pow and groomers though.
You must get some serious pow up there?
Tarp works great and I usually have an edge guard on too for extra cushioning so I don't destroy the Tatami.
By the way I also taught English in Kagoshima for 3 years when I first came.
I'm on a 2010-2011 T.Rice 157 blunt. Ideally I prefer twin profiles, and would've bought the Jones Mountain Twin last year if it didn't run out of stock or the Amplid Hi-Def if I had the cash. Would've bought the Proto CT if it was out last year when I got my deck, but either way I'm very happy with my T.Rice. I know it doesn't have very much rocker in the profile but man it's stupidly easy to ride, I've pulled of some bad tricks and managed to land it. It actually feels a lot more parkey than I was expecting.
If you're looking at getting a twin deck everyone is raving about the Proto CT, and on paper it looks super badass. The T.Rice is actually quite playful, but still charges well. I bought it at the end of last season and haven't had a chance to ride it through deep pow. But yeah my T.Rice kills the park and groomers, and man the pop will send you in to orbit!
Yeah we get serious pow up here, but to be honest this is my first year living in Hokkaido, as opposed to being a tourist. We've got our first BC trip planned in about 3 weeks, fingers crossed it'll be deep :P
So you're looking at getting a deck shipped in from the States?
I spend most of my time in pow accessible around the resorts rather than full on BC. Still deep and sometimes long runs away from groomed areas.
Thats why I like my semi directional freeride boards as they just make it easier in the pow. Serious pow even in Nagano.
I don't know your weight, but you might want more than 157 in the Hokkaido BC.
Still I want a freestyle deck to add to my quiver and the proto CT looks sweet.
I am looking at getting one shipped which is why I was asking about solutions. Having it sent to my uncle and then him shipping it to me via the cheapest courier looks the best option.
May as well get some bindings while I am at it.
Hope you get good snow. My first trip up to Nagano is usually mid-late December.
Can't wait. I will be getting a season pass, worth looking into if you are doing more than 15 days a year at one place (Niseko?).
If you find any great spots for BC be sure to let me know. I will definitely make it up there at some point.
Here is a link to my HP, this is the terrain where I board in Nagano. Looks funny because it won't support Japanese but the link works.
I weigh in at 69kg, and am 173cm. So I'd be comfortable as short as 155 in the park, and longer in the BC. At the moment I can only really afford to have one deck so I want a quiver killer for the time being.
I love riding everything, except stacking it on rails, so yeah I'd love to get some more snowboards w different bindings depending on what I'm doing that day. And maybe a caddy to follow me around and carry a quiver for me :)
If I can afford it next season I wouldn't mind getting a Jones Hovercraft or Flagship in split. But I'd need to get more experience in the BC here to find out what's going to work out best for my riding, and in the terrain here.
