Have a Backyard Party
When it comes to summer entertaining, there's no better venue than your backyard. With just a few items you can create a fun, laid-back outdoor celebration.
01. Gray Stoneware. Just because you're eating outside doesn't mean you have to use paper plates! This stoneware is the perfect combination of rustic and elegant.
02. Stoneware Growler. I love the idea of using beer growlers as an alternative to individual bottles. Set out a few growlers and mugs? Perfect. You'll save so much room in your fridge, too…
03. Footed Bowl. The cutest bowl ever, right? Fill it with cherries or guacamole. Your guests are going to love it. Definitely a conversation starter.
04. Reclaimed Slate Cheese Board. I'll be honest, I need a cheese lesson… but until then, there's this. Thank you, cheese board.
05. Neon Crocodile Planter. Using unexpected items as decor is one of my favorite things about party planning. This little guy would make a great outdoor table or bar accessory.
06. Baguette Slicing Board. This reclaimed cutting board would make the perfect outdoor serving tray.
07. 3D Garden Pinwheels. These sleek and modern pinwheels would make your backyard instantly party-ready.
08. Wine Barrel Serving Tray. Trays and other shallow dishes are the best way to keep a table of food and drinks organized. Use it for appetizers or a place to lay out napkins and utensils.
09. Star Spangled Spatula. So classic! If you're having an outdoor BBQ this summer, you have to use this spatula.
10. Galapagos Pillows. Use throw pillows on your outdoor furniture to create an even more relaxing party space.
Happy summer entertaining!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Latinoking90, Apr 27, 2009.
Was this comparison really necessary?
I agree, that was a little cold.
That confused me
Maybe Iverson can have his bodyguard beat up the guy who made the decision to air this stuff?
Chuck's KILLIN Chauncey in the turnover category though.
It's probably funny to anyone who is not a Pistons fan. For us it stings a bit.
I thought it was funny. If I was a diehard Iverson fan, I'd be on the other side though.
I don't think they were making fun of Iverson. I think they were making fun of the Pistons as to how the trade has affected their playoff run.
That's what I thought too. But either way it doesn't bother me.
I viewed it as a slap at both Joe and AI in one motion. I'm sure that fans here in Denver find this downright hilarious.
Too funny. I am lost for words.
Technically, AI's FG% should have been listed as "undefined" and not 0-0.
Remember, the logo behind the insult is ours. That's the only thing that bothered me.
Oooooohhhh Tayshawn. I am impressed!
There is a special place in my heart for number theory.
Almost as funny as Dennis "The Microwave" Johnson.
LOL. I saw that one, too. I rewound my DVR and showed my kids. They didn't really care, but I did it to them anyways...
If I wasn't piston fan l would be rolling my hammock...In fact I am rolling...it was funny. Not sure who will take more offense to it though Joe or Iverson., but I'm glad it was put up there.
It was hysterical. I'm sorry when i saw it, i was like wait, WTF, and then i almost died laughing,. I think ABC sucks in general, and whoever it was meant to insult the Pistons/AI i don't know, but that was funny.
Now that graphic was insulting to Vinny & someone should have called ABC to correct it before the end of the game..... and I hate to say it, but Dennis Johnson was rolling in his grave..:banplease

Science Explains Earworms
Science has figured out why songs get stuck in your head.
Those tunes are called earworms, songs or pieces of music you hear and then seemingly keep hearing, over and over again.
No serious study of them has been done until now. Scientists have a name for it - involuntary musical imagery, or INMI. They found it mostly happens during "time filler" activities, like waiting in line.
Research now shows earworms are more tied to our motor systems than rational or cognitive thought, and are more likely to be tunes we can sing, hum or tap along to, which ties it to physical activity.

I'm new here, too. So it's really not on me to welcome you, I guess, but welcome anyway.
I wanted to respond to you because you mention the "bashing" people always do on the PT92. I have a PT99 (same gun, just adjustable sight). I can't say it's my favorite gun, or even in the top 5, but I do like it. It's very accurate and fairly reliable (mine is a little picky about what hollows I use). The finish seems to wear relatively easily (compared to other guns I have with similar finishes). My only real complaint is a personal one: the fat grip doesn't fit my smallish hands very well.
As you know by now, no matter how nice something is, you will find people on line that put it down and call it junk. If they can't find anything else bad to say, they say it's overpriced or ugly.

hello ppl, I'm looking to complete my CELTA in the near future. I understand the majority of the online stuff is a waste of time and money.
I'm from the North East England, UK and have found a course at Newcastle, which would be great for me. the cost is £1250 and the school is called international house newcastle.
Does all this seem legit? I'm not sure if I can post links so I wont but a simple google search will bring the site up. Just you hear so many bad things and scams out there so I just wanna be careful.
Thanks guys

Bobo, I don't have a Heiland, but an MPP flash replica, which I took measurements from...if that'll help ya'. Although, I think it might be a good idea to take down a good average for these measurements as this is only a replica and not the real deal, (if you can get two or three other members to chime in on this matter).
I can't find a heiland on Ebay for my ESB blaster
So I'm just gonna get a chrome tube and drill some holes in the end.
All I need to know is the thickness of the tube, and most importantly the outside diameter...can anyone help? Spidey?
Anyway, I came up with 4 & 3/4" for the outside circumference, 1 & 7/16" for the diameter (going across the mouth of the tube from outside edge to outside edge), and the thickness of the metal itself measures in at only 1/32". This might be all you need, but hopefully others will add their two cents to this.
Otherwise, it looks like,..ask for The Spider, and you get .....The Nerf!

|Mount Robson
Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2014
|Successfully summited Mount Robson on 8/5/14 at around 7:30 am. Started at the Dome at 3:30 am, topped out on the Kain Face at 5:30 am. Descent took 4.5 hours, the Kain Face was pretty scary and soft/dripping! Day 1 - trailhead to the moraine (3 miles past Berg Lake); Day 2 - to The Dome via R-R col; Day 3 - summit then packed up and back to moraine; Day 4 - back to trailhead. Awesome adventure, we got lucky with the weather!

Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2014
|Well, I *think* I summited...
Being solo, I took the direct finish (AI2-ish) to avoid crevasses, climbing into a white-out. I found some older tracks and what seemed like the high-point, then spent a scary couple of hours downclimbing the glacier and icefall in near-zero visibility. About 15h10 car-to-car, but it could have been much quicker in ideal conditions. Trip report.

|Climbed in August 1955 with friends from the Bruin Mountaineers (UCLA) -- Ralph Kahl and Roy Bishop (both now deceased) and Jim Burrows (not from UCLA). Ascended 1200-foot packed snow wall northeast of summit. Arrived at summit at 4:30 PM. Descended the wall at night with green aurora borealis sparkling, and a red eclipsed moon (which can give you the exact date).

|Kain Face, ridge approach
Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2011
|Hiked to Berg Lake, next day to the Extinguisher tower campsites via fun seracs jumping. Next morning approached Mousetrap and did not like it. Continued to Robson-Resplendid Col and camped there. Climbed to the Dome via a spectacular knife-edge snow and rock gendarmes ridge. Next day climbed Kain Face in warm conditions with soft and sloppy snow: dubious protection, exhausting but easy climbing. Summited around 1pm. No ice on the summit "roof" due to high snow year. Rappelled Kain face in the afternoon when the face was in the shadow. Continued warm temps made the return via the Robson-Resplendid ridge scary. Weakened snow bridges on the glaciers were also problematic. Went as a team of 5 (2 rope teams), all summited!

|22-Year Mount Robson Dream Comes True (Kain Face)
Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2006
|Mount Robson infected me on first sight. It soon became obvious that climbing her is far more difficult and hazardous than any mountain I had ever experienced. Over the years, it was one humiliating defeat after another. Thus the notoriously low summiting rate for attempts on Robson: only 10%. Mount Robson became a state of mind, an obsession. I did some 'side trips' for training, like climbing beautiful Mount Resplendent, Robson's neighbour. After three weather days on the Dome, it was a dream come true! Six expeditions and endless training and preparation paid off to realizing the hardest, finest, most mind-blowing climb of my life. Also see the trip report: "22-Year Mount Robson Dream Comes True"

|Route Climbed: Kain Face, Alpine IV Date Climbed: September, 1998
|This mountain was my introduction to the great Canadian Rockies. We formed a party of 4, 2 Alaskans, 1 climber from Georgia and myself from Nevada at the time. I made the horrible mistake of wearing plastic boots with a 60lb pack the whole way. Needless to say, my heels became hamburger during this trip. By the time we made it to the Dome through the Mousetrap Icefall after two nights of camping en route, we were in all out blizzard conditions. We got the tents up and did not set our watch alarms as we assumed we would be weathered in for at least a day. However, I first awoke to an incredible sunrise over a total cloud cover right below us, surreal scene. The GA climber bowed out for the summit attempt, but the rest of us jumped at the opportunity to throw our crampons and ice axes on and hit the 1000'+ ice wall. We then followed the SE approach to the summit. We returned to the Dome victorious, slept a little and then came all the way out the next day. We came off via the SE ridge, which required quite a few rappels and down climbing. We took 22 hours to arrive back at the parking lot. I revisited the Robson Glacier in April 2003. My wife and I snow shoed up to the Berg Lake cabin. We spent 2 nights at Berg Lake without a soul in sight and had a great wildlife experience. We had lunch at an ice cave in the glacier. This is a great mountain and park.

|After a day hike through the beautiful the Berg Lake trail and a traverse of the Robson Glacier our climbing party of three finally reached the bottom of the dome. On the next morning to all our surprise the sky cleared, there was no wind and the visibility was perfect. It was a perfect summit day, which is pretty rare event for Mt. Robson. As most of you might know, Mt. Robson is famous for its terrible weather conditions even during the so called climbing season July-August. The pyramid looking top is almost always covered with some nasty clouds. We start to make our way through the top. It took us only two hours to reach the ridge and we continue to move along the southern ridge in accordance with the Kain Face Route description. Just below the 50 deg ice cliff my climbing partner did not feel well, so wee had to retreat. I was a little bit disappointed, since we misted a perfect summit opportunity, but over all I was very pleased to climb this magnificent mount. I enjoyed the trip even though we did not reach the summit.

|Climbed with T. Hains, J. Leonhard, C. Coulson, and myself, K. Sorensen. 5.4 to 5.6 rock moves and scree scrambling between Burg and Mist Glacier. No need to protect but scary with big packs and plastic boots. First third of face had great ice, good screw protection. Top two thirds was hard snow and ice covered rock. Couldn't protect with screws, only pickets which made progression slower. Rangers said it was a bad year. Got caught in earlier than expected storm. Couldn't find ridge to Kain Face. Spent two nights on top. Snowed about three feet during 40 hours on top. Bitter freezing temps. Finally had a clear day and made our way down dehydrated and hungry. Read full story in "Trip Reports."

|In a long day, we climbed from Rearguard Meadows through the Ice Fall to the Dome, then waited for 2 days in fog and low clouds staring at parts of the Kain Face hoping for a break in the weather. Finally, it began to clear on the 3rd afternoon and we started for the top at around 2 the next morning. The Kain Face was a fabulous 6-pitch climb up snow and ice to the ridge, delicate ridge walk, and then more climbing to the final summit ridge. Wonderful climb when the weather cooperates. We climbed as 3 ropes of 3 to the top and down. Incredible mountain that has impressive size and utterly dominates the surrounding landscape of the Rockies.

|Mountain of my dreams for years. Went up to the RF hut with 3 friends lookin' to do the Wishbone -- didn't happen. Spent the next four days trying to get up the SSW Ridge, but kept being pushed back by absolutely rotten weather. Only got as high as Little Robson. On the day we were going to descend, the clouds pushed on off and revealed a beautiful day. Late tho' it was, I had to give her a try. My buddies descended to the trailhead and I left the hut alone at 9:15a.m.!! (Great "alpine start", eh?!?) The route went quickly; getting over the Schwartz Ledges was a bit tricky, but other than that, no problems. I wound through the seracs at the top of the ridge rather than traverse across the Roof -- we'd seen the entire S face swept by an avalanche just two days earlier. Made the summit about 3:30, took some pics, smoked a Drum, and descended. Got back around 7:30. What an epiphany -- Mount Robson....solo !!!!

|Route Climbed: Kain face Date Climbed: Aug 12/01
|We lucked out with the weather which was excellent for the 6 days we were on the mountain. Day one we registered and backpacked to Berg lake. An excellent and scenic route. Day two was a short day to the bivvy site below the extinguisher. We wanted to avoid traversing the icefall in mid-day. Day three we ascended to a camp on the dome. The snow in the icefall was good and the hazard only bad for about 15 minutes, but definitely not a place to linger or to be in during the hot part of the day. Day four we left camp at 3:15 am and almost immediately were struggling with the bergschrund. Once we got across the schrund the Kain face was steep but not extreme and the ridge above was easier. We summited at 7:20 am in a cold wind. The descent was uneventful other than the jump across the schrund but the snow was already getting soft on the Kain face. We were prepared to wait until evening at the top of the face but our early start and early descent time got us down safely. We were back in camp by 11:00am and watched avalanches all day on the faces left and right of the Kain face. The route is not as difficult as the crux on the N. face of Athabasca, more like the Skyladder on Andromeda but it does require constant care and would be a nightmare in soft snow conditions. The trip down through the icefall was unpleasant(we left at 6:30am) as snow melt and a warm night left us sinking beyond our knees, many crevasses were now wider and we punched through some snowbridges.
We camped at the emperor campsite and backpacked out next day. A great peak and a great route.

Nikon Coolpix P7100: a new high-end compact by NikonTuesday October 04 2011 Sensor Review
The Nikon Coolpix P7000 was launched last year to clearly compete with the Canon Powershot G12 on the high-end compact market. Despite reasonably good specs, the P7000 wasn't really well received because of some usability and responsiveness issues. So, we were quite interested to see what this new Nikon Coolpix P7100 would offer.
At first look, the specifications are very similar: same 10 MPixels sensor and same lens. And very logically, apart from some design improvements, Nikon focused on the main weaknesses of the P7000. So, the main improvements are:
- a better responsiveness with a new processor, the Expeed C2.
- a better usability with a front command wheel and a flip screen (same 3" 0.9 MPixels display as the P7000)
Let's now see what level of image quality the P7100 can reach.
P7100 vs its predecessor and its competitor
First of all, it's interesting to compare the P7100 with the P7000, its predecessor and the Canon G12, its "official" competitor.
As expected, with the same specs, the P7100 and the P7000 reach the same level of image quality.
If we compare with G12, both models are close with a small advantage for the P7100.
But, the overall score of the G12 comes out better. This is easily explained by the very low sensitivity settings available on the G12 (down to 50 ISO), where the quality is naturally very good. This gives some good marks to the G12 and gives it an advantage for the overall score.
So, with the P7100, Nikon corrected the main glitches of the P7000 (usability and responsiveness) and maintained the image quality. But, will it be enough to compete with the new models launched recently.
P7100 vs Nikon Interchangeable-Lens cameras
For example, if we compare the P7100 with its new Interchangeable-Lens cousins, the Nikon J1 and V1, we see that the Nikon J1 and Nikon V1 get a sensibly better image quality. It is easily explained by the sensors size difference. These 3 cameras have the same sensor resolution (10 Mpixels) but the J1 and V1 sensors are bigger. This gives them a lower pixels density and a big image quality advantage.
P7100 vs Micro Four Thirds
In this comparison with the Olympus PEN EP3 and the Panasonic G3, the P7100 suffers from the same disadvantage as the previous comparison: its sensor size.
As an overall conclusion, the P7100 seems to be better armed against its compact competitors. But, the arrival of the Interchangeable-lens category will certainly impact the Coolpix P7100 and the whole high-end compact market thanks to its good quality/size compromise.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With the FZ150, Panasonic stays the course with another high-end bridge camera. From manual to completely automatic modes, the DMC-FZ150 offers a large choice of options.

Research Interests
My main scientific interests have been in the biology of the genitourinary tract. Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the bladder wall. More than 100 years after first being described, the diagnosis of BPS/IC is still associated with controversy. Given the difficulties associated with the diagnosis of BPS/IC, it is not surprising that the etiology of this syndrome is poorly understood. Several theories for the etiology of BPS/IC have been proposed over the years including infection, immunological etiology, leaky urothelium resulting from a deficiency of its surface coat of glycosaminoglycans, activated mast cells and neural changes.
In vitro studies in my laboratory have been consistent with the possibility that BPS/IC may develop in response to noxious stimuli in the bladder lumen. Thus, lipoteichoic acid (LT-2), a cell wall component of the gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus faecalis, stimulated the proliferation rate of a subpopulation of basal uroepithelial cells with high proliferative potential (possibly stem cells). their progeny differentiated at a higher rate and displayed abnormal expression and cellular distribution of β1 integrins, and LT-2 required activation of iNOS and NFκB. Moreover, our studies provided evidence for altered proliferative ability of progenitors of urothelial cells in cell cultures isolated from patients with BPS/IC. These studies raised a number of questions: What are the mechanisms by which noxious stimuli in the bladder lumen may trigger abnormal function of the muscle and nerve tissue underlying the uroepithelium, causing pain and persistent urge to void? In addition, how is it possible that chronic symptoms similar to those characteristic of bacterial cystitis persist for years in patients with BPS/IC in whom no infectious agent is detected at the time of diagnosis? Based on emerging data from several laboratories, I postulated in a recent review that epigenetic reprogramming mechanisms in the bladder may provide an explanation for uroepithelial, mast cells and nerve cell abnormalities in BPS/IC, as well as propagation of this altered state in the absence of the signal that may have triggered it. Data supporting this hypothesis would provide a rationale for new diagnostic, treatment and dietary intervention options for BPS/IC.
My second scientific interest is dietary prevention of prostate cancer (PC). PC is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in North American men. Findings of latent or clinically insignificant PC occurs in a large proportion, and at equal rates, in autopsy studies among men from Asian countries and the United States. In contrast, the incidence of clinically significant PC is an order of magnitude higher in the United States. Epidemiological studies suggest that this might be attributable to differences in environmental factors and life style, including nutrition. Aggressive PC is less prevalent among Asian men where the intake of soy products is very high. However, with Westernization and loss of traditional eating habits, the pattern of disease incidence is also changing in Asian men. On the basis of these findings, it has been postulated that phytoestrogens, including genistein, may have a preventive role in PC. Studies in my laboratory in a transgenic mouse model of prostate cancer (TRAMP mice), supported this hypothesis
Prostate cancer fatalities are rarely due to primary tumors, but rather to widespread metastatic disease. The preferential colonization of bone by prostatic adenocarcinomas has been attributed to the passage of prostate epithelial cells from the prostate to the spine via paravertebral blood vessels. However, molecular mechanisms that facilitate retention of metastatic cells in bone and, their subsequent unrestricted proliferation, are poorly understood. In my laboratory, in vitro studies in cell cultures isolated from the human prostate and in vivo studies in the transgenic mouse model of prostate cancer focused on cell adhesion-mediated molecular mechanisms that: (i) May underlie progression of slow growing prostate tumors to metastatic growth; and that (ii) May be the target of preventive strategies that delay progression of indolent prostate tumors to metastatic growth.
More recent collaborative studies with Gabriel A. Elgavish were focused on developing an MRI method for early noninvasive detection of developing PC.
In the past few years, in collaborative studies with Harry W. Schroeder, Jr., my interests have expanded to the link between natural protection, e.g., against pneumococci, and D(H) gene conservation.

Michelle Shocked
In 1986, Shocked returned to the U.S. and, while volunteering at the Kerrville Folk Festival, English producer Pete Lawrence was impressed by her campfire-side playing and recorded her on his Sony Walkman. The recordings surfaced in the fall of that year as The Texas Campfire Tapes on Cooking Vinyl Records and became a surprise hit in England, eventually topping the independent charts. The success led to her signing with Mercury Records in 1988. Short Sharp Shocked, produced by Pete Anderson in 1988, displayed even more talent, combining the informal, tradition-rooted folkiness of The Texas Campfire Tapes with a strong postmodern feminist perspective and punk attitude. The album quickly earned her respect among the alternative community and critics. In an unexpected move, Shocked returned in 1989 with Captain Swing, a '40s-style big band swing outing that surprised her fans initially but had no shortage of strong material. In 1992, she took something of a step back with Arkansas Traveler, a rootsy collection of songs based on the blackface minstrelsy that covered all forms of early American, homegrown music. In 1993, Mercury finally became fed up with her confusing style jumping and refused to release her proposed gospel album. She then left on a solo tour, selling her newly recorded, independently produced (with Tony Berg) Kind Hearted Woman. Late in 1995, Shocked began legal action against Mercury Records to break her contract.
By 1996, Shocked was released from Mercury and embarked on the First Annual Underground Test Site Tour, with Fianchna O'Braonain. Another independent release, Artists Make Lousy Slaves, was sold at the shows. Kind Hearted Woman was picked up for commercial re-release by Private Music in 1996, and as a condition of her release from Mercury, her old label released a "best-of" compilation, Mercury Poise: 1988-1995, the same year. After laying low for several years, in 2002 Shocked re-emerged with a new album, the gospel-influenced Deep Natural, and her own record label, Mighty Sound. In addition to releasing new work from Shocked, Mighty Sound began a program of expanded reissues of her back catalog, which she gained control of following her release from Mercury. In mid-2005, Shocked audaciously released a new trilogy of very different albums all on the same day, June 7: Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Mexican Standoff, and Got No Strings. Mighty Sound also made the three albums available as a set called Threesome. To Heaven U Ride, a collection of covers and originals recorded live from Shocked's 2003 performance at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, appeared in 2007, followed by Soul of My Soul, an all-new set of originals in 2009. ~ Chris Woodstra

You damn Minnesotans... can't you learn to adjust to the cold like the Wisconsinites do? I'm still wearing a sweatshirt only, in most cases. When the wind chill is bad, then I'll change my mind and put on the coat.

MozyPro Growth Doubles in the Legal Industry
Yesterday, we announced that the number of legal organizations backing up their digital data with MozyPro has more than doubled from the previous year. Cost savings, security benefits, and the explosion of electronically-stored information have lead thousands of legal professionals to turn to Mozy for their backup solution.
Like most companies facing economic challenges, law firms are looking for ways to cut costs and improve efficiencies. For instance, long time member and contributor to the American Bar Association, Joseph Booth, knew he had to be smart about his investments when he opened his own practice. By choosing MozyPro, he realized a 92 percent savings over other backup solutions and was still able to easily and securely protect his most important business data.
Mozy also helps law firms address the need to protect large amounts of case files and client information, as Tina Peot of PHMPP Law attests. "I have endless amounts of data to manage, so it is essential I have a simple backup solution," she said. "Mozy doesn't take up more of my time, but instead makes my job easier."
Not that I need a lawyer, but if I did, I sure hope that they knew how to keep my information safe. I guess Mozy offers peace of mind to more than just law firms! For more information, or to read more of our customer stories, visit http://mozy.com/legal.

Arsène Wenger insists he will not be resting players for Tuesday night's Champions League clash against AC Milan.
Arsenal head into the second leg with a four-goal deficit after a poor first leg at the San Siro but Wenger is backing his players to give it their best shot against the odds.
"It is not an argument for us," said the Frenchman. "We want to have a real go tomorrow, we want to make it possible.
"I would not be very credible to tell you we want to score five goals and then leave Robin van Persie out.
"We will not accept going out of the Champions League because we want to stay in. We will give it our best shot tomorrow."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

As a rule, we'll have whatever Dane's having. Boards, broads, beards, books, beers, bars – the man has a flair.
By Stuart Cornuelle
We also want to surf like he does. When we saw Dane saunter down the cobbles at the Hurley Pro with a wide, piggy excuse for a shortboard – and make his first World Tour final on it, while notching both of the event's highest wave scores – we spat hot coffee on the MacBook screen in disbelief. Such a curious shape. Such brazen shredding. While our interns cleaned up the coffee mess, we set out to learn more about Dane's new board design and how we could get one.
The Channel Islands Surfboards blog explains it all HERE. The board is now famously known as the Dumpster Diver; its origins involve a block of foam destined for the trash heap and a well-timed trip to Mexico. CI's Travis Lee:
On the interest: I've been inundated with calls and emails about the board, including lots internally. Dusty Payne and Yadin, and Julian Wilson too. He got to try one of Dane's boards the other day at Seaside Reef while he was testing his equipment for France. He said the board was so floaty and drivey that he had to get one.
On mass production: Dane didn't even free-surf it before the Lowers contest, he just took it straight out in his first heat. He's still improving on it, still has ideas for how to make it even better. There's usually that testing period where riders work with Al [Merrick] on a design before it's rolled out as a proper model, but with this one, it's already been sort of proven on the world's stage. We could reproduce it in a second, but we have to decide when's the proper time to do that.
On dumpster diving during the European leg: The board looks like it makes surfing fun for Dane in small waves, and who knows? Mundaka could be held at one-foot beachbreak, so I can't imagine that Dane wouldn't be packing it in his boardbag.
Here, here.

Posted by David Aponovich on November 5, 2012
In a recent post, I shot down the myth that you can predict the ratio between web content management license cost and implementation services. (You can read the post here, but the summary is: There is no standard ratio. Like snowflakes, every WCM implementation and digital experience project has its own unique … personality, and cost. It's not only about the technology.)
But for any application development professional who sources and implements these systems and strategies, you (or your friends in marketing) will inevitably get put on the spot by the person holding the wallet. Their question, "What's this going to cost us, all-in?" is hard to answer. And no exec wants to hear, "I don't know."
We can provide a recipe for turning this question in a productive discussion that lets budget holders understand the Great Unknowns that accompany digital projects.
Costs can balloon for many reasons on a WCM or DX project. Below are just a few reasons in the form of questions. Use them early on in the project/process to educate key stakeholders on the true costs of WCM- or digital-related work – the levers that get pushed and pulled, affecting cost, timeline, and outcomes. It may be your best defense when the money people start asking questions.

Quote:Worked a bit on my leg as it is still weak and I need to get it stronger. Doing physio still and this is to supplement it. Won't be jogging for a while but as I get it stronger then this will bring me closer to pushing myself more. See the surgeon on the 4th of July to see how I'm progressing and where we go from here.

I've owned a set of TK armor, and one of the most helpful things I found, was a list on how to/what order list. on how to dress as the character, also ppl can point out what parts need and extra person to get it attached or lined up properly,
0. Underwear/Boba thong (optional)...lol
1. Jumpsuit
2. Jet Pack harness.
3. Vest
Shin tools on before wearing the cod, cause i know you can't bend with that on.
etc, etc.... you get the idea!
This IMO, would help noobs, and of course be created by ppl who have completed suits, who have experience on forgetting a part or what side it suppose to be on.
Also this discussion can expand into a "what to bring" in case you break something...Eg. extra tape,glue, touch up paint etc..etc.
so please discuss...or start the list!
possibly this "list" could be a sticky OR added to an existing stuck thread.

The problem is more likely to be your technique.
Small pistols are very difficult to shoot well.
You have to hold them in a death grip, with rigid arms, and not relax or flinch.
Your little gun needs every kinetic ounce of recoil force, in order to function properly.
If you flinch or relax your grip, the gun will malfunction because your hands and arms are absorbing some of that necessary force. Typically, it will fail to eject properly.
The P3AT we own is not ammunition sensitive, but it is technique sensitive.

'There have been many news stories about NHL fans potentially boycotting the rest of the season. Or at least the first week. Or first game. Maybe they'll just show up late. But probably not. The arenas will be full. Because we're lemmings. And that's why they knew they could get away with their shenanigans.'
I feel guilty about my happiness

Author of the Fat Chick Works Out on the red carpet at the 2012 fall
Rock Your Curves Fashion show in LA
We had a great time at the Rock Your Curves event in Los Angeles on November 10, 2012. The fashion show was expecially fun as it was the first time JunoActive has hit the runway! Lovely models, lots of fun and a very enthusiastic crowd. JunoActive raffled off several sets of its signature dual layer shorts and inspiration bicycle tees. It was great to share a table at the tradeshow with Jeannette DePati, author of The Fat Chick Works Out. She's a true inspiration. We share a sense of fun and belief in supporting women to embrace their active lives, right now, today. Or, as Jeanette says, "Whatever you have shake it!" Check her out at www.thefatchick.com.

2. To another Federal agency, in response to its requests, in connection with the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of a security clearance, the reporting of an investigation or an employee, the letting of a contract, or the issuance of a license, grant, or other benefit by the requesting agency, to the extent that the record is relevant and necessary to the requesting agency's decision on the matter.

(d) The United States or any agency thereof where SSA determines that the litigation is likely to affect SSA or any of its components, is a party to the litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and SSA determines that the use of such records by DOJ, a court or other
tribunal, or another party before the tribunal, is relevant and necessary to the litigation, provided, however, that each case, SSA determines that such disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.
11. To student volunteers, individuals working under a personal services contract, and other workers who technically do not have the status of Federal employees, when they are performing work for the Social Security Administration (SSA), as authorized by law, and they need access to personally identifiable information in SSA records in order to perform their assigned Agency functions.
12. To the General Services Administration and the National Archives Records Administration (NARA) under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, as amended by the NARA Act of 1984, information which is not restricted from disclosure by Federal law for the use of those agencies in conducting records management studies.
13. We may disclose information to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, entities, and persons when (1) we suspect or confirm that the security or confidentiality of information in this system of records has been compromised; (2) we determine that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs of SSA that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) we determine that disclosing the information to such agencies, entities, and persons is necessary to assist in our efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.

Associate Commissioner
Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity
Notification procedures:
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the system manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels information in the record to which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth, along with one other piece of information, such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Record access procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably specify the record contents being sought. This procedure is in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Also, requesters should reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and the corrective action sought, and the reasons for the correction, with supporting justification showing how the record is incomplete, inaccurate, untimely or irrelevant. This procedure is in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record source categories:
Information in this system of records is obtained from individuals to whom the record pertains, SSA or other officials, official documents relating to appointments and case assignments as counselors and investigators, correspondence from specific persons or organizations, formal reports submitted by the individual in the performance of official volunteer work.

In its sixth year of partnering with Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, New England Conservatory provides free concerts by our jazz musicians to precede CSC's popular, free outdoor productions on the Boston Common.
This year's production, Twelfth Night, follows the journey of Viola and Sebastian, twins separated by a shipwreck, as they encounter loss and love in their new homeland—the mythical and magical land of Illyria.

Flip flop season is upon us. My little girl loves wearing flip flops because she can put them on by herself. I decided to decorate her flip flops.

Evergreen Outreach was back at First United Methodist Church this week.
Cindy Hunter, the leader for the week, welcomed everyone. The crowd enjoyed the fantastic music of SoftFire, as David and Patricia Pence played a variety of songs, including "Jesus, Prince of Peace," "Holy, Holy, Holy," "Onward Christian Soldiers," "At the Cross" and "Power in the Blood."
I was listening to a talk radio station in the car where the host of this particular program was interviewing a person who was working toward getting the word "God" out of the pledge of allegiance.
By Mary Woolsey
Evergreen Outreach met at Fayette County Hospital's Long Term Care this week.
Bemie Ray was seated at the piano playing beautiful songs from a list she had made. She needed no music sheets, but played the following from memory: "Love Letters in the Sand," "Alice Blue Gown," "Ole Shanty Town" and "Down Mexico Way."
Jesus broke new ground for religion when he welcomed the Wise Men of the East to his dwelling (Matthew 2).
Salvation Army raises $15,200 in county
The Salvation Army bell ringers in Fayette County raised a record-breaking $15,200 from their efforts during the Christmas holiday season. Last year, $15,022 was raised.
The volunteers rang the bells for more than 210 hours at locations across Fayette County. Donations were collected from shoppers, who put money in the Salvation Army kettles.
By Edith Elliott
Donna Smith greeted guests with piano melodies from the past at Monday's Evergreen Outreach program. Among those songs were: "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," "How Much Is That Doggie In the Window?" Amazing Grace" and "How Great Thou Art."
The Rev. Jim Fackler led the "Welcome" and "Evergreen" songs. He also recognized those who had birthdays: Sharon Maxwell, Patricia Pence, Susann Schumacher and Margaret Rogers.
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. (Galatians 4:4-5)
The joy we celebrate at Christmas is for the arrival of the long-awaited Savior, Jesus in the flesh. In Luke, chapter two, Mary and Joseph are carrying the infant Jesus, who is 40 days old. Jesus, the savior of the world, makes his entrance into the temple in Jerusalem. It was time for Mary and Joseph to offer the required sacrifice for the first-born male.
'Not A Fan' series to start at Liberty
This Sunday, Liberty Christian Church in rural Brownstown will begin a new six-week sermon series titled "Not A Fan."
The series will explore Jesus's invitation to follow him – not to just be a "fan," but to be a completely committed follower.
The series will include small-group Bible studies.
For more information, call the church at 347-2271.
Holy Cross to study 'Batman' movie
By Melanie Schaafsma
Pam Childers played good, old-time tunes Monday as the Evergreen Outreach guests assembled. She played "I'm Lookin' Over a Four-Leaf Clover," "Jeepers Creepers (Where'd You Get Those Peepers)", "By the Light of the Silvery Moon," "My Ragtime Gal," "And the Band Played On," "Clementine," "Bicycle Built for Two," "I've Been Working on the Railroad" and "Auld Lang Syne," so appropriate for the second day of the new year.
Over the years, I have received many Christmas cards. They are beautiful, and I hold onto them for a while before I let them go.

'Satan was asked if he would request a trade this summer if it looked like he would have to endure another season without the playoffs before the expected work stoppage. He didn't rule it out. "I'm going to give it a lot of thought after the season's over. Then I'll make some decisions," Satan said. "I just want to finish the season and then see what starts happening over the summer. If ownership wants to be serious about turning this around, then definitely I would like to be part of it."'

Is it just me I am not really impressed with someone making caches from boy scout troops tree planting or a maintence shed. His coordinates are usally off and he puts lame stuff in his caches you can usally jump out of you car and find it in a couple of minutes its all about the #'s not about a challenge or a true reward. You can thank him for the easy caches but was his caches truely somthing that mattered

Here's a constructive thought for Glisher...
If you don't like the caches that are out there, perhaps YOU should place some, or perhaps maybe even (OMG!) log your comments on the cache pages when you find them, so that the people who do go thru the (not so easy as you seem to think) task of placing caches can get some feedback.
I myself have not yet encountered what I would consider a 'Park & Log' Kingboreas cache. Of course, a 2 yr old and an infant make getting anywhere a production some days, much less going geocaching. So perhaps some of us other geocachers may appreicate caches that aren't rated 5/5.
P.S. I case you hadn't figured it out, most of K.B's caches are only listed to 2 decimal places. If it's got trailing zeros, that's the hint. Of course, if the caches are so easy to find, then the coordinates shouldn't matter, should they....

There have been some of KB's caches that have taken me 3 or 4 visits to find, and some have been very easy. To me it's just a game that I enjoy. For a while I was not happy that KB only gave two numbers past the decimal point, but would it be better to hike a mile and have the coordinates bring you to within 3 square feet, or a short hike to an area of a 100 square feet to search?
Just search for the caches that you will enjoy and don't search for the caches that don't interest you. Just have fun.

This is an activity that is just a game. It is unique in that it is a world-wide activity that involves people from many different backrounds and ideals. We all have our idea on how it should be played, but others have their ideas as well. We are all different, and get different things out of this game. Please be respectful of these differences in the way people participate in this activity. Lets use this forum to work together positively, not to rip on each other negatively. If you have an issue with someone, email them privately. If you can't work it out in that way, let one of the baord members know, and maybe something can be worked out.

For what it's worth, we are based in England but have done over 60 caches in Minnesota. Many of them have been KB caches. Some are easy, some are not but that's pretty much the same for most cache hiders.
Kim lived in St. Paul for... well, a long time... before she moved to the UK, but KB's caches are in many local parks that she had never even heard of, never mind visited.
We are having a discussion in the UK about cache quality, and the conclusion seems to be. If you don't like them, don't do them. But let everyone else make their own mind up.

This past Christmas day, I took out my new GPSr that I had gotten as a gift and found my first cache. It was
Near the Cottonwood Trail
by kingboreas. A few minutes after logging my find, I received a nice email from the King himself, welcoming me to the sport.
This afternoon I had find number 100,
Rice Creek Repository
, appropriately enough, also by kingboreas. I think one or two caches in between were also placed by him.
Your efforts have been much appreciated by me, kingboreas.

Retreat reflections and experiences
"IMS is the first place where I've felt a true spiritual connection to my inner self. Thanks to IMS and its teachers, I can appreciate my life and be of help to those around me."
"This retreat made such an enduring shift in my life – I'd want everyone to have this opportunity."
"The powerful energy of sitting with sangha on retreat supports my practice beyond what I've been able to gain alone."
"I feel inspired to continue this practice in my everyday life."
"Thank you again for all that you did for all of us. I am back in my home and work a much better person because of the work you all do at IMS."
"I feel much gratitude for your work and service to the dharma. Like the passing of a breath or cloud I'll be driving away much lighter and clearer to face the world and life ahead."
"My heart has been opened, and the feelings have been indescribable! I have a new way of living my life now. I feel I have been given a beautiful gift this week. I have found the answers I was looking for within myself. I came here feeling hopeless, sad and lonely, but am leaving feeling happy, joyful and excited. I look forward to continuing my meditation practice when I go home."
