Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel on Tuesday sent its deepest condolences to the people of Boston after two terrorist bombs killed three people and wounded 183 others at the finish line of the Boston Marathon a day earlier. There were many children among the casualties.
"Yesterday, a day of enjoyment in Boston was turned into a day of terror," said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We send our condolences to President Obama, the American people and the bereaved families. On this day and on any day, Israel stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the American people. We are partners in freedom and in seeking a better future for all humanity."
Israeli humanitarian aid organizations offered to dispatch assistance, and Israel Police Chief Yohanan Danino and his senior staff departed for a scheduled visit to Boston to meet with FBI and other US law enforcement officials. Danino will work to further law enforcement cooperation between the two nations and provide Israeli expertise in the investigation into the marathon bombing.
By contrast, members of the Palestinian organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad reportedly danced and handed out candies in the streets of Gaza after hearing about the spilling of American blood. Islamists in neighboring Jordan told local media that the Americans deserved such terror.
Many Muslims were "happy to see the horror in America," Mohammad al-Chalabi, the leader of a Salafi group in Jordan, was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, the chief of emergency services at Massachusetts General Hospital, the hospital that treated the bulk of those wounded in the Boston Marathon bombing, credited Israel with preparing his staff to effectively deal with such an scenario.
Dr. Alasdair Conn said that two years ago, he had invited Israeli experts to train his staff on handling mass casualty situations. That training was put to good use on Monday, and Massachusetts General was widely praised for the way it handled the situation.

Cuthbert's Career Cut Short
It appears Elisha Cuthbert's career has gone the way of Jared Leto"s. Because while Elisha and Hollywood Ebola Paris Hilton have always been tight, until now Elisha has yet to allow Ebola's deadly fluids to infect her.
But this week in New York, the virus emanating from Paris Ebola's black hole vagina raged out and consumed Elisha. Multiple outlets are reporting that the two were seen making out on Tenjune on Tuesday.
As we all know, Ebola's success rate is almost perfect. Which means Elisha Cuthbert is doomed …Though it's not like there were high hopes to begin with. After all, this is a girl who was supposedly stupid enough to cheat on Justin Timberlake's best friend… for Sean Avery.
Sean Avery. The biggest prick douchebag of a cheese dick in the NHL, an alleged racist, dirty as sh*t and morally repugnant…this is the man she voluntarily shared her bed with for almost 2 years???
As you can see, the consequences of Elisha's associations are starting to cost her. Girl looks rough. Like… almost ugly. A bulbous nose, the hint of a moustache, and a manly cleft chin.
Oh true Ebola… thy disease is quick.

Ausmed Publications necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 44 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
A design for a web page for nurses to blog. Must fit in with current website.
NEW MESSAGE POSTED THURSDAY : Please ensure you include a 'link block' down the bottom of each post,
Allows readers to promote the article elsewhere. Also, designers please show how they would display comments and replies, not just the articles themselves... an easy to use comment interface is crucial.
We are a nursing company who are about to launch our social networking 'blog' page. The target audience are nurses who are usually 35 plus years old and female. We require a non-threatening site that encourages nurses to debate and discuss professional issues, This is not a gossip site but a professional site. You will need to visit our website to see where this page fits in. http://www.ausmed.com.auThe current page is bland and unexciting. Please be mindful of the colours of the site. It is important that they do not think that by clicking on the blog part of the website, they have jumped to a different site.
We require an image (which we will pay extra for) of a male nurses face -- head and shoulders - he must look as if he is a nurse.We will call him nurse 'Nurse Ausmed' -- the 'Blog Master'. His role will be to pose a 'Question of the week' .At the base of the page, it may be good to have an image of nurses networking -- See what you can do.Thanks,Ausmed
- Blof side is found by clicking the left hand toolbar NOT the social networking tab.
- colour must be same as original website
- must include at least one image of a nurse. A Male Nurse - is the Blog Master - an image of a male nurse who looks credible is important. Cannot be 20 years old and he will not have enough gravitas in the eyes of other nurses.
- Would be nice to have another image at the base of the design of female nurses talking - any age.
- You need to look at the current site for the wording which will need to be incorporated on the site.
- Loud - inyerface stuff. Nurses are very conservative and need to feel secure in this space.
- This is a professional site and needs to reflect this.

|MLB Press Release
The letter from attorney Stan Brand, writing on behalf of both Major League Baseball and the Players Association in this matter, states that the Committee lacks jurisdiction over the substance of this matter in that neither Major League Baseball nor the Players Association is a government entity subject to oversight by the Committee, and that the Committee's effort to obtain results of Baseball's testing program raises serious constitutional issues and improperly violates the confidentiality provisions of the program. Brand's letter also reports that the current and former players, except for Jose Canseco, will respectfully decline the invitations to testify.
Brand writes: "If, as professed, the Committee's real focus is on the future, what may or may not have transpired at a time when there was no policy becomes irrelevant and can only serve to obfuscate the professed goal."

One cannot blame Rahul but the CONgress for using him as a bali ka bakra for the party to stay united. Once the dynasty is gone, it'd be so nasty that the party full of overambitious netas will simply fall apart. @Daniel, it is savant. Sawant is a surname - Rakhi Sawant.

Update 19 Jan 2018: Added armv71 and aarch64 builds for most Stretch packages.
Update 11 June 2017: The OBS has added support for Stretch builds, so I will go through and see what packages I can also upgrade to that platform--Stretch already has many of the backports in it already. I will probably change the names of many of them to remove the "bpo8" and instead use "obs" or the like, so I can build both Stretch and Jessie versions from the same source upload.
Update: 9 Dec 2018: All OBS repos seem to need a new key, as the old ones have been marked expired, so just repeat the step to download and install the Release.key file.
Warning: now that Stretch has frozen, some of the packages in this repo are going to be newer versions than Stretch has available, and may interfere with an in-place upgrade from Jessie to Stretch. The workaround is to remove the offending package (such as my mpv which is newer than Stretch's 0.23) and then reinstall the Stretch version after the upgrade. I also plan to add Stretch builds to the repository as soon as the OBS makes it available to users.
Edited to reflect current situation: I've added packages to this Jessie-backports-multimedia project that are related to multimedia in some way, or require the newer ffmpeg, such as the development GIMP. Many of the packages are not available in Debian at all, such as DVD Styler, ClipGrab, or QMPlay2.
Instructions for adding the repository:
https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... ackage=mpv
You can view the project here, and see what programs are in it currently: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show ... evepassert
Edit: Note that the commands to "wget" the repository key should be run as a regular user, but the "apt-key" command must be again run as root or with sudo, and watch the name of the keyfile that is downloaded--substitute that name in the add-key command if it differs, which you'll get if adding multiple OBS repositories and you download the key file into the same directory as previous key files.
I don't know if anyone else wants information on how to use the OBS--it's free and rather easy to set up and use in a web interface, and you can get as many free repositories as you wish.

[Note to mods: I felt that this was relevant enough to Castle sets to be put in this section, as it deals with a medieval fantasy world possibly becoming a series of LEGO sets. Feel free to move if I was mistaken.]
I'm sure by now most, if not all of us, are familiar with LEGO CUUSOO. CUUSOO is a program where LEGO fans submit ideas to LEGO and garner support. If 10,000 supporters are reached on an idea, LEGO will consider making the idea into a set/theme. So far, 3 ideas have been given the green light and became sets, while numerous others reached 10,000 but were not followed through for various reasons(Shaun of the Dead is an example of this, where the film's gory nature prompted LEGO not to continue the project).
Recently, an idea on CUUSOO proposing LEGO Legend of Zelda has reached 10,000 votes. The CUUSOO project proposed a variety of LEGO Legend of Zelda sets be made, spanning numerous games from the series. Now that the appropriate number of supporters have been reached, LEGO will consider the idea. Although it has reached 10,000 votes, LEGO still needs to give the A-OK regarding the project.
For those unaware of what Legend of Zelda is, it is one of Nintendo's biggest flagship video game franchises, dating back to 1986. Alongside Mario and Pokemon, Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's most popular and recognizable franchises in the video game industry.
LEGO LoZ on CUUSOO: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/6809
LoZ Wikipedia article(for those who want to know more about the series): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_Zelda
So, what you guys think about this? Are you excited to hear this news, and are you a fan of the Legend of Zelda series of games? Did you offer your support for this project, or is this the first time you are hearing of it? If this idea was to be approved by LEGO, would you want a full LoZ theme or just a single set?
Personally, I think this is possibly the greatest news I have heard in while. I am a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda series of games, in fact they are my favorite series of video games. I hope that LEGO will make a full theme out of this, but now that we have reached the point on CUUSOO where it's out of our hands, it's only a matter of time until we find out where this will be going.

Brian Hoyer grew up rooting for the Cleveland Browns as a young boy, wearing a Bernie Kosar jersey while sitting in the upper deck of old Municipal Stadium with his father.
Now Hoyer is the Browns' starting quarterback with starter Brandon Weeden ruled out for the second game in a row because of a sprained right thumb suffered during a loss two weeks ago to the Ravens.
These are heady times for Hoyer, a Cleveland St. Ignatius graduate preparing for his second NFL start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"Sure, it means a lot," Hoyer told Cleveland reporters. "I think this is the part when you guys ask me, 'Does it mean more?' Obviously playing at home with the Cleveland fan base here, it's going to be special, but once they kick that ball off and you're between those white lines, that's what you've got to worry about.
"Maybe after the game, you can sit back and think about it. It will be awesome, our fans are great. They'll be quiet for us and loud for them. So, it's definitely an advantage."
Hoyer passed for 321 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winning score during a 31-27 victory over the Minnesota Vikings as he overcame three interceptions in his starting debut.
Following that performance, Hoyer received congratulatory text messages from Kosar, his boyhood hero, and from one of his mentors: New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady.
"That was pretty cool," said Hoyer, a former Michigan State standout who previously played for the Patriots and Arizona Cardinals. "You look down at your phone and it says, 'Hey, this is Bernie Kosar.' I used to wear the jersey in the backyard, to now getting a message from him is pretty cool.
"To see the guys who had texted you congratulations, it's cool to see how many people are wishing you well and are happy for you. My main concern is getting better for Cincinnati on Sunday."
Brady singled out Hoyer during his Wednesday press conference, praising a young player he grew close to during three seasons as teammates.
"We have a great relationship, a very close relationship," Brady said. "Guys that stay at it and are mentally tough, always trying to do the right thing like Brian has done, it's great when they finally get an opportunity to play."
For Hoyer, who attended the final game of the original Browns in 1995 before the late majority Browns and Ravens owner Art Modell moved the team to Baltimore, his focus is on preparing for Sunday's Battle of Ohio against the Bengals at home. He'll have a ton of family and friends in attendance.
"When you're out there, that's not what you're thinking about," Hoyer said. "It doesn't concern me who's in the stands. I got much bigger things to worry about when I'm out there."
Hoyer will be tested against the Bengals defense, whose fierce pass rush is headlined by defensive linemen Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson.
"Right now, my main focus is Cincinnati," Hoyer said. "They have an excellent defense, scheme and player-wise. There's not a guy across the board that you don't know about."
Hoyer plays the game with a fast tempo, utilizing a quick mental clock to keep up his timing.
"Sometimes, you have to let a play develop," Hoyer said. "But, for the most part, if you can get it out
'one, two, three, hitch, hitch, throw.' Usually, that's kind of the timing."
"If you don't know where to throw the football, it doesn't matter how well you can throw it or how accurate you are. That's definitely the most important thing in my mind, knowing what to do and make the right decisions. Obviously, I had a few poor decisions last week. You try to learn from them."
Should Hoyer thrive in this emergency stint and unseat Weeden, perhaps he can convince the Browns' hierarchy to go with him as their starter in the future.
"I think any time you go out there, you want to put your best foot forward, you're building your résumé," Hoyer said. "In this profession, practicing only gets you so far, preseason only gets you so far. When you go out on the field in a regular-season game, that's your résumé."
Bengals' Green has been Browns' nemesis
Bengals Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green has victimized many NFL defensive backs with his rare combination of size and speed, and his route-running abilities.
No, the Browns aren't the exception.
Heading into Sunday's matchup, Green has caught 18 passes for 344 yards and four touchdowns in four career games against the Browns.
The 6-foot-4, 207-pounder had 14 receptions for 193 yards and three touchdowns in two games last season against the Browns, including seven catches for 135 yards and two touchdowns with cornerback Joe Haden covering him after being suspended for the first game.
Green has 19 catches for 249 yards and three touchdowns this season after finishing last year with a career-high 97 receptions and 1,350 yards to go with four touchdowns.
"I look forward to it a lot," Haden told Cleveland reporters. "If you want to be the best, you have to go against the best. Going against somebody of his caliber, it's a really good contest and matchup and I like it a lot."
Despite the success, Green doesn't regard Haden as an easy mark.
"I feel like he's one of the most underrated guys that gets no attention for being one of the best corners in the league," Green said during a conference call. "I'm so surprised he never made a Pro Bowl or All Pro, because he's been doing it for four years at a consistent basis.
"He's probably one of the best corners I'll face this season,. It's always great to have a guy like that on the other side. You actually see where you measure up. He always plays me good, so it'll be tough."
Steelers still searching for first win
The Steelers have traveled to London in search of their first victory of the season.
Winless in three games, the Steelers are hoping to avoid an 0-4 start as they prepare for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. This amounts to an early must-win situation. The Steelers haven't started 0-4 since 1968, when they lost their first six games.
"We just need one," cornerback Ike Taylor said during a press conference upon the Steelers' arrival in England. "That's all we need, we're searching for one. It's a big game for us.
"We dug ourselves a hole, we have to dig ourselves out. We don't even know how winning feels right now. We have to get at least a win."
The Vikings are in an identical situation to the Steelers, also having not won a game.
"It's a playoff kind of game," Taylor said. "You have two 0-3 teams, you have a lot on the line right now. We better be ready and match Minnesota's intensity because you best believe they're coming with it."

I've been trying to make an application with OpenGL on Java under Eclipse, using JOGL.
I want to make a 3D head transparent in order to make the tongue and the oral cavity visible.
Even if I enable glColor and set the alpha value to 0.5f , the program seems to ignore that and consider all the alphas 1.
After digging a little bit more, I found out that, if I use ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA for the destination the result I get is the same one as if I hadn't enabled blending at all. So, only depth test gets disabled, and the glEnable(GL2.GL_BLEND) statement is ignored. The objects are visible depending on the order they are drawn, even if I've chosen them to be 50% transparent. It's as if they are all opaque. The program ignores the glColorf4 statement I wrote.
If I use gl.glBlendFunc(GL2.GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL2.GL_ONE) I get the same result I would have got if I used gl.glBlendFunc(GL2.GL_ONE,GL2.GL_ONE) instead. So this shows me the program considers alpha is always equal to 1.
Am I forgetting something? I know I have enabled color.
Code :gl.glClear(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT ); gl.glClearDepth(1.0); gl.glEnable(GL.GL_DEPTH_TEST); gl.glDepthFunc(GL.GL_LEQUAL); gl.glShadeModel(GL2.GL_SMOOTH); gl.glEnable(GL2.GL_CULL_FACE); gl.glBlendFunc(GL2.GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL2.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); gl.glDisable(GL.GL_DEPTH_TEST); gl.glDepthMask(false); gl.glEnable(GL.GL_BLEND); gl.glEnable(GL2.GL_COLOR); gl.glColor4f(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f); .............// <-- draw transparent 3D model here, with texture gl.glDisable(GL.GL_BLEND); gl.glEnable(GL2.GL_DEPTH_TEST); gl.glDepthMask(true);
I hope someone could help me a bit here. I'm sure it's something very simple.
Thank you very much!

SEO for Auto Shops in Ashburn, VA
If you're struggling to find an effective way to attract new customers online, you're not alone. Many mechanics and auto shops have a very basic website that is not bringing in any new business or helping them get the attention they need locally. Why is this?

When locals are in need of auto repairs, they're typically going to execute a quick search online.

Those shops at the top of the search results represent companies that have invested in internet marketing. The great news? You can do the very same thing!

Yearlong celebration has begun
Note to Pittsburghers: Take what you think you know about the Steel City, wad it up into a little black-and-gold ball and throw it away.
That's what the organizers of Pittsburgh's 250th birthday celebration are hoping that people from here — and around the country — will do next year. The city plans to mark the anniversary of its naming with a yearlong series of events that don't just commemorate the past but also celebrate the present in hopes of changing the way Pittsburghers, and others, perceive the city.
"I think there's a wonderful opportunity for us, as well as the people who don't live here, to recognize Pittsburgh for what it is," said Jim Rohr, head of the Pittsburgh 250th Anniversary Commission and the Allegheny Conference on Community Development.
Rohr said tourists who visit the city realize it's no longer a smoky steel town but a city with a thriving cultural district, world-class universities and an impressive vista. Pittsburghers, ironically, are most in need of convincing that their hometown has a lot more to offer, he said.
Some of the events began already, under the slogan, "Imagine what you can do here." A middle school program is teaching kids about the innovations that have come out of the Pittsburgh region — the first Big Mac was made here, as was the first aluminum can pop-top. And a campaign is under way to get 250,000 area residents to commit to getting fit.
Next year, dozens of events will be held in conjunction with the 250th anniversary celebration.
One of the biggest will be the completion of the Great Allegheny Passage, a 185-mile series of hiking and biking trails between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, Md. The passage is part of a larger series of trails running from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C.
An inaugural ride on the passage in October will be led by a black-and-gold bicycle manufactured by a Bedford County company. The ride will end at the city's downtown Point State Park, where the 250 Festival of Lights will transform the city's buildings into works of art with lighting, sound and motion.
Point State Park will also figure prominently in the city's celebration. The 36-acre park at the confluence of the city's three rivers is undergoing a $35 million renovation.
The park played a crucial role in the French and Indian War, when British, French and Indian forces battled for control of the land.
"It really shaped what America became and it's not a really well-known chapter in America's history," said Bill Flanagan, Pittsburgh 250's executive director.
Point State Park was also where General John Forbes and George Washington named the land Pittsburgh, for Sir William Pitt, in 1758.
Next summer, the city will host the final stage of a national cycling competition known as the Tour of Pennsylvania. The race, which begins in Philadelphia on June 24 and arrives in Pittsburgh five days later, is being billed as the first Tour de France-style race in the U.S.
Sanctioned by USA Cycling, the race will feature about 20 teams of six riders covering 500 miles in Pennsylvania. The grand prize is $250,000.
The yearlong celebration will also include smaller events in communities in and around the city, helped by grants from the 250th commission.
Also, Pittsburghers past and present are being encouraged to hold reunions or meetings in the city during 2008. Already, the city's tourism group says it knows of 50,000 people who will be taking part in these kinds of events next year.
Even the city's sports teams are getting in on the celebration. Members of the Pittsburgh Penguins are wearing a circular black-and-gold patch that says "Pittsburgh 250" on their jerseys.
Organizers hope the events will be a major draw and even make it hard to find a hotel room in the city.
"I think it's going to be a great problem to have," Rohr said.

Leopard print has made another come back into the fashion scene. You can see everything from silk shirts, fur jackets, pencil line skirts and accessories galore all covered in animal prints. It has taken me quite some time to embrace this reoccurring trend. For some reason I associated leopard print to the Popular TV series 'The Nanny' where Miss Fine and her mother would be draped in tight leopard print ensembles. Then of course, I have that scary association of leopard print with the oh so trashy 'Jerseylicious' cast. Putting all of these aside, when leopard print is worn well it can look elegant and even add a touch of rock star edge to your look.
I decided to welcome this trend and went online shopping. I found this cute leopard print, peter pan collar dress. I tried to style it into my every day wardrobe. Below I styled the dress with my long knitted vest and black stockings as we approach the cold season. I have accessorised with a grey subtle leopard printed handbag. My simple rule is to never team more than 2 items of leopard print in your outfit. It is really important to tone the print down with a sold colour.
Below, I have included some leopard print apparel and accessories. I think the safest and longest lasting trend pieces to purchase in leopard are the classic leopard print ballet flats and leopard sunglasses. They can always add some edge to an all black look. So why not begin there.
I have also included at the bottom of the post some looks worn by Olivia Palermo. She knows how to create elegance whilst wearing leopard. I also have styled an affordable look inspired by one of Olivia's leopard ensembles.

Star Trek: The Original Series
I love Star Trek. My favorite show in the franchise is The Next Generation, and I've seen almost every film and show within thus far. However, I realized I may have to turn in my combadge if I never see the original series, the one that started it all, so I've been watching TOS on Netflix with a family member over the past month or so. Even now as I type this post, I am in the middle of Season 2.
I'd like to know what people's thoughts are about the original series. It is remembered fondly by many. Watching it myself, I can only wonder if a nostalgia filter is involved with that somehow. Certainly, it may have been good for its time, but I don't have the benefit of watching this show through the lens of someone who lived in the 1960's. In my opinion, this show has not aged particularly well; much of the science (at least in Season 1) is preposterous, even for soft sci-fi, and many of the attitudes are horribly outdated. Indeed, a good handful of episodes involved Captain Kirk destabilizing civilizations because he didn't like the way they did things, even when it was absolutely none of his business. I initially suspected the franchise's Prime Directive was created because of this man, but it turns out he does it in spite of said directive at times, even after we establish the Prime Directive exists at all. VOY had similar problems going on, and while the situation there is different, the ethics were no less questionable.
I intend to continue watching this series to completion, of course, and I may watch the Animated Series afterward. But I cannot say I really enjoy this show thus far. It has far too much of Roddenberry's influence for my taste. This was a problem for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but in a very different way; from what I understand, Roddenberry was the one responsible for all the long, drawn-out shots that made the movie feel like a padded out episode of the show itself, which, whether it would have made a good episode or not, made the movie horribly boring to watch as far as I'm concerned. Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan was superior in just about every way.

Re: Star Trek: The Original Series
Great at the time and even 10-20 years later when I was a kid, but very hard to suspend disbelief these days.
Spock and Bones carry it - Shatner/Kirk's just awful, although the former two do sometimes have some dodgy moments too!
Uhura and Sulu are also great characters.
"a reprehensible human being"
Beliefs are, by definition, things we don't know to be true.

Re: Star Trek: The Original Series
I tend to agree that Spock carries it, though I'm not too sure about Bones. I guess their interactions with eachother are what makes it worth it, but I personally don't like Bones a whole lot, at least for where I'm at in this show. I agree with you about Kirk, though. He's a menace in more ways than one.
Sulu and Uhura are pretty cool, though they don't get nearly as much focus as Kirk, Spock, and Bones. I like Scotty, as well.

Re: Star Trek: The Original Series
Some 10 years ago when I was working as a security guard a local station showed ToS at 1 in the night, every night. Which was nice since I was working then and in a security office with a TV, so I watched pretty much every episode. I rather enjoyed them. Sure they look a bit campy, the action is often silly and some of the writing really shows it's time, but in general I think that if you can take into considetarion when it was made the show has aged pretty well. I have to agree that it's not any single person that carries the show, but rather the collective. Shatner by himself would have been bad, but put in Nemoy and Kelley et al and you get total that is more than it's parts.
P.S. On another note they also showed Miami Vice. There is a show that is worth watching again.
|Wed Nov 15, 2017 8:28 am
Star Trek: The Original Series
I dunno, the way you describe watching it in a security office makes it sound as though you had nothing better to watch.
Anyway, I tend to disagree that it's aged well. Spock is, in my opinion, one of the few redeeming qualities the show has at the point I'm at.
I think my perception might be skewed by the first season, however. Every Trek series has a bad first season, even TNG and DS9. I heard that TOS was the exception, but having seen it for myself, I really don't agree with that assessment. I know they really didn't have things down yet; we don't even know about the United Federation of Planets until near the end of that first season, and for some reason Spock kept getting called a "Vulcanian". These issues are not what I'm talking about when I'm complaining about the first season. It's Kirk's apparent disregard for other civilizations he visits when he forces his values on them, especially when it was none of his business. Bones even encouraged it one time ("The Apple", a Season 2 episode) and it really annoyed me. I mean, granted, when the crew on the planet started influencing the local culture in a way Vaal didn't seem to like, he decided to try having them killed rather than simply evicting them, but that's beside the point. Spock was the sole voice of reason in that episode.
I realize these episodes may be few and far in between, but I cannot simply ignore the problem just because it came from the late 60's. And I'm only in the early part of Season 2 now. Maybe they'll get better about this, and things will start to look like the Star Trek I know and love.

Yesterday's trading session saw the release of the much anticipated FOMC minutes as markets sought clues on when the great taper might happen. The Fed minutes did show that there is strong support for the taper happening this year should economic conditions continue to strengthen. Most of the committee members agreed that while changes in the asset buying program are not yet appropriate, they would be comfortable with slowing the pace of bond buying later this year. While the minutes did not point to any specific timeline for tapering the consensus expectation is for an announcement of tapering at the next FOMC meeting in September. The minutes also pointed to some committee members concerns over rising rates as a potential strain on economic growth. Markets reacted sharply to the release of the minutes, rallying to new highs before taking out the session lows and closing down on the day. Today's rally in E-mini S&P Futures erased yesterday's losses and could be a sign that markets will continue to be choppy until the next FOMC meeting and announcement of whether a September taper will happen.
So how can a trader profit in a potentially range bound and choppy market? Simply buying or selling the underlying will not allow the trader to capture profits in market that has no direction, but using options strategies can allow a trader to capture premium and profit in a range bound market. Using the at-the-money straddle in E-mini S&P 500 futures options we can see that the market is implying around a 50 point move in the underlying by September expiration. Using this information we can establish a range that the underlying is likely to stay in through expiration. With futures trading near 1650 we can calculate an upside target of 1700 and a downside target of 1600. Selling vertical spreads at these targets sets up a strategy known as an Iron Condor. An Iron Condor profits within a range and is established for a net credit. Let's break this down.
Trade: Selling the /ES Sep 1600-1595 Put Spread and the 1700-1705 Call Spread for 1.75 Credit
Risk: $162.50 per 1 lot
Reward: $87.50 per 1 lot
Breakevens: 1598.25 and 1701.75
While the reward to risk ratio of this trade is not ideal, this trade profits in a huge range and allows a trader to capture premium in a potentially range bound and choppy market.

· Four snowmobile fun runs annually
· Annual women-only fun run to encourage snowmobile riding by women throughout the county
· Volunteer search and rescue snowmobiles and riders, in case of a local emergency where weather was an issue
· Strong relationship with local law enforcement
· Awareness and fundraising activities throughout the year
· Active participation in the state convention hosted by Snowmobile North Dakota
Snowmobilers, 75% male, target age of 18-30;
Logo should contain a snowmobile, although since they are easily dated, maybe something more stylized; in the past, we have mainly used red and black as our "colors" but are open to other ideas; old club logo is attached

Citroen DS 21
From Citroen Press: Paris, 1 October 1955. At the Grand Palais exhibition centre in Paris, a new car explodes onto the automotive scene and is hailed as a sensation by the contemporary press. The DS has arrived.
This marvel of automotive design was created by two men and their staff teams. Both were originally recruited by André Citroën and designed the Traction in 1934. André Lefèvre was an engineer, while Flaminio Bertoni was a draftsman and sculptor.
The DS was exceptional not only for its looks but also for its technology. It revolutionised automotive standards in terms of suspension, road holding, brakes and steering.
At the heart of the DS's many innovations was the high-pressure system made necessary by the hydropneumatic suspension. This system drove the power steering and disc brakes – also used by Jaguar at the time for the Le Mans 24 hour event – as well as the transmission with its automatic clutch, which prefigured the automated gearboxes of today. The DS also used avant-garde materials in its construction, including aluminum for the bonnet and plastic for the roof.
During a twenty-year career in which 1,456,115 units were produced, the DS established itself as the market standard, proudly carrying all sorts of customers. It provided a comfortable and reliable ride for families, traveling sales representatives, doctors and others, in France and elsewhere.
The DS 19:
The DS made its world debut at the Paris Motor Show on 6 October 1955. Within 45 minutes, 749 orders had been taken, and by the end of the day, 12,000.
Technical data:
4-door, 5-seater saloon.
Integrated body with removable panels.
Fiscal rating: 11 HP.
Four in-line cylinders.
Capacity: 1,911 cm3.
Effective horsepower: 70.5 bhp DIN at 4,500 rpm.
DS 19 Cabriolet:
Following a few initiatives by independent coachbuilders, Citroën decided to design its own cabriolet version of the DS to satisfy the wishes of some of its customers. The result was presented at the 1960 Paris Motor Show.
Designed by the French coachbuilder Chapron using Citroën plans, this two-door, four-seater model sported reinforced side members and cut-out rear wings.
The DS 19 cabriolet was available in 76 body colors and 11 leather-seat and upholstery colors and had a black crylon hood.
DS 23 Injection:
Launched in 1972, this model was the crowning touch to the DS range. It replaced the 21 from 1973, topping its predecessor's already excellent performance-comfort-safety levels and joining the elite of European grand touring cars.
Its new 2,347-cm3 electronic injection powerplant made driving the DS an even smoother experience. The DS 23 Injection was the favorite of company directors and was frequently seen in official parades. It also notched up a wealth of racing trophies.
The very last vehicle produced at the Javel plant on 24 April 1975 was an electronic-injection DS 23 Pallas.

He tinkered with his stroke and exhausted his muscles in the weight room. He grew a mustache. He won some races and lost a few. He just missed out on grabbing the world record he wants but doesn't own.
All that, however interesting or mundane, was merely part of a three-month dress rehearsal for swimmer Michael Phelps.
The real opening act - the one likely to provide the first snippet of drama to his return to competitive swimming - begins Tuesday at the national championships in Indianapolis.
And while it's almost a given that we won't see the dominant swimmer we saw in Beijing, it's a bit of a mystery what exactly we will see from Phelps, considering that he considered walking away from the sport this year, and that he was suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming after a photo was published in a British tabloid that showed him holding a glass bong to his lips at a party.
Phelps is swimming in just four events - the 100-meter freestyle, 200-meter freestyle, 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter butterfly - and he'll probably be the favorite in all four. But it isn't out of the question that he could be beaten in one of them. He has been beaten a few times in the 100-meter freestyle this summer, although not by an American swimmer. In his most recent meet, the Canada Cup in Montreal, he nearly broke Ian Crocker's world record in the 100-meter butterfly, touching the wall in 50.48 seconds. It was a career-best time for Phelps.
"I think in general he's looking pretty good right now," said Bob Bowman, Phelps' longtime coach. "I don't think either one of us thinks he's perfectly prepared. We've been trying to change his freestyle stroke, which normally takes about a year. We've been trying to do it in about three months."
Phelps' transition to sprinting is his and Bowman's long-term goal, but in the short term, the focus this week is just to make the American team for the 2009 FINA world championships, which will be held this month in Rome. That means finishing in the top two in every race, which, barring something unusual, shouldn't be a problem.
Phelps wasn't available for interviews last week, but he will be speaking today at a news conference in Indianapolis.
"My only hopes for Michael are that he stay motivated long term," said Mark Schubert, head coach of the U.S. national team. "I'm looking forward to the world championships to see what he can do. He seems to be motivated and happy, moving forward in the sport with new challenges. Just his presence, what he brings out [in] the crowd, and [the] atmosphere he creates, is good for the sport. I don't think Michael needs to win eight gold medals every time out. But he looks at every event as a challenge."
Phelps might even have more time to rest in this meet than in any other major meet he has entered in years. He dropped both grueling individual medley events from his program after the Olympics and decided not to swim in either backstroke event, even though he is one of the best in the world in that stroke.
"He really hasn't done any training at all for the 200 backstroke, so I felt like it would be disingenuous to ask him to go out there and swim it," Bowman said.
There's also a good chance Phelps will drop one of his four events, choosing between the 100-meter freestyle and the 200-meter butterfly at the world championships because the schedule would make swimming both almost impossible.
It could be a difficult decision. He's the world-record holder in the 200-meter butterfly, and not one of the world's elite in the 100-meter freestyle, but his main goal this year is to transition to sprinting.
"As long as we have Michael on the relays, I'm a happy camper," Schubert said.
Swimming, in general, is certainly happy to have Phelps back and on center stage. For the first time, there will be live television coverage of the U.S. nationals, with the event scheduled to appear each night on Universal Sports. (It will be edited down and shown on NBC on July 11 and 12.) NBC will also televise the world championships for the first time.
And Phelps has apparently suffered minimal fallout from the bong photo and suspension. Subway announced last week that he will appear in TV commercials promoting the sandwich chain. Phelps signed an endorsement deal with Subway shortly before the photo surfaced, and the company decided to delay using him as a pitchman until now.
"In many ways, Michael breaks the mold," Tony Pace, the company's chief marketing officer, told the Associated Press. "Based on all the tracking we do, he's still incredibly highly regarded and his performance is still something people talk about."
Towson's Katie Hoff will also be competing at the U.S. nationals (100-, 200-, 400- and 800-meter freestyle), although her training has been hampered somewhat by a respiratory infection that forced her to withdraw from a meet in Santa Clara, Calif., last month.

Double Crochet (dc) - Right-Handed Instructions
Double crochet, like the single crochet, builds on a foundation chain as a base. However double crochet has extra height because extra loops are worked off the hook.
Foundation Chain and First Row
For a practice swatch of 12 stitches, make a foundation chain of 14 stitches. Holding the foundation chain with the front facing you, yarn over and put the hook into the fourth chain from the hook. (D50)
Yarn over again, and draw the hook and yarn through the chain. There should be three loops on the hook. (D51)
Yarn over again and pull the hook through the first two loops. (D52A)
Yarn over again and pull the hook through the remaining two loops (D52B & D53)
You have just completed one double crochet stitch. Continue to work across the row, making one double crochet in each chain stitch.At the end of the row, you should have 12 stitches, counting the three chains you skipped at the beginning of the row as one stitch. (D54)
Chain 3, turn. This turning chain will be counted as the first stitch of the next row.
Second Row and all other rows
Yarn over and insert your hook into the second stitch. Now work a double crochet. (D55)
Work a double crochet in each stitch across. The last stitch should be worked into the turning chain of the previous row. Insert the hook into the top chain (D56)
Since you count the turning chain as a stitch in double crochet, you should make a stitch in it. Count your stitches. You should still have 12. Chain 3 and turn to continue.

Every time Veronica Tonay comes to the Ranch to speak about dreams, I have to go. You see, I'm one of those people who has really vivid dreams. Almost like I'm living a different life. There have been times where I can't remember if a conversation I had with someone happened in reality or in a dream. I consider myself lucky to have such active dreams. It used to be that my dreams exhausted me. I would have so many in one night and they would seem so real, it felt like I wasn't getting any sleep at all some nights! Thankfully, I've learned how to curb that (thanks to some advice from Veronica) so now I can enjoy my dreams and get a good night's sleep too.
The class I went to a couple of weeks ago was about dreams and relationships. I was really excited about this one because my relationships are a huge part of my dreams. They sometimes even affect my every day life! You know how sometimes you wake up after a particularly vivid dream that had bad vibes (or good vibes for that matter) and you can't get it out of your head? It's a strange phenomenon because we know it's not real, however, sometimes dreams affect us like they are reality. I could go on and on about dreams, they fascinate me.
What I found so interesting about Veronica's class is often when we're dreaming and we come across a really strong personality that seems scary or intrusive, it's a way our subconscious lets us know that this is something we need to work on within us, often not in the other person. For instance, dreams where we are being chased usually means that there is something in our consciousness which we find threatening. Often those are our own thoughts that we create. If you begin to write down your dreams in the morning, you may start to see a pattern which can help you resolve issues you might be having in your every day life. Watch the pattern of interactions and watch how you respond if someone is being negative to you. This may give you some insight into how you react to things.
If you're interested in the dream world I highly recommend attending one of Veronica's classes next time she's here the week of September 7, 2013. In the meantime, you can check out her book and articles at VeronicaTonay.com.

At the most recent Code for America conference in San Francisco, I learned so much that it made my head spin, but the most useful lessons I took away focus on three key areas: better service design, continuous improvement and workplace engagement. Whether you're in government or corporate IT, who doesn't need a refresher on all three?
Better Service Design
Nick Bowden, CEO of social technology company Mindmixer, made a point about using data and design to create better user experiences. He projected two photos, one of a DMV and one of an Apple store. "Which do you prefer to go into, and how do you feel when you go?" he asked rhetorically.
The point is that the user experience matters, and that user experience isn't just a website. It's inclusive of the physical institution. You can't expect to delight your customers by bringing them into a dirty place with bad furniture. User experience is also inclusive of the words you use. According to Bowden's research, using positive words such as "best," "proud," "advance," "win" and "overcome" in communications with customers is much more effective in getting them to buy in than using inhibitive words such as "stop," "not," "block" and "unless."
How many designers work in enterprise IT? How many times do we consult a designer when we're putting together a business technology initiative? Very few, and we need to fix that.
In 20 years managing ERP systems, I've rarely seen good design. The mapping portals done in-house at my city are just functional, but the economic development portal coded by an outside agency is outright beautiful. It's the one that delights customers because it's the most intuitive and usable of the lot. (Site-selection consultants for a large company cited this particular portal as a valuable tool in their client's selection of our city for a major relocation.)
Dan O'Neil, who runs the Smart Chicago Collaborative, which seeks to improve citizens' lives through technology, thinks "developers scratch their own itches" instead of end users'. O'Neil recruits Chicago residents to test civic apps that the collaborative develops. It gives residents a $5 gift card just for signing up for its testing program, and then it awards those who actually participate a $20 gift card and bus fare to wherever the test is being held.
O'Neill also talked about meeting people "in situ" -- where they live -- to test apps. "We come as supplicant, looking for ways that we can change, rather than experts looking to convince them of our plan," he said. "This is no small difference." The collaborative's motto: "If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work."
One of my pet peeves is when folks expect the IT organization to simply add technology and somehow improve business life without actually looking to improve business processes. It's one thing for a crusty tech guy such as myself to say that automating a stupid process merely allows the business to fail faster, but it was a breath of fresh air to hear it from Greg Fischer, an entrepreneur and mayor of Louisville, Ky. Fisher pointed out that business process mapping, improvement and training are a huge part of deploying technology to fix a broken process.
Fischer champions using open government data for performance management. The LouieStat program has tracked and improved many things in government, including reducing the time it takes to hire a new employee (from a max of 304 days to 72) and cutting overtime costs by $1.4 million. This was done all under the mantra of data-driven improvement, detailed in the new Code for America book Beyond Transparency.
Fischer related a story whereby the city jail was making 380 fingerprint errors per month on 40,000 transactions, which might not sound like a lot, but the stakes are high when you're incarcerating someone. In working with the jail and the Office of Performance Improvement, it mapped the process, made changes and retrained folks, cutting the error rate to five per month -- a 98% reduction.
I can't emphasize this enough: Improve your process, or your tech will make you fail fancier.

Psy's new music video "Gentleman" is not only breaking YouTube records, hitting more than 145 million views in less than a week, it just got banned by his home country's biggest TV broadcaster.
South Korea's KBS, a state-funded broadcaster, said Thursday it was banning the video because it shows Psy kicking a traffic cone with a "no parking" sign on it. The TV network says it has a policy prohibiting the showing of videos that abuse public property.
The ban comes as "Gentleman," the follow-up to 2012's incredibly popular "Gangnam Style" that premiered last Saturday, gallops into YouTube record books.
Top 10 must-have smartphone apps
In its first full day, the video was watched more than 50 million times, blazing past the previous 24-hour record of 8 million views held by Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend." Psy's video now has nearly 146 million views.

The McLewis Fire Dept. was responding to a house fire on Tulane Monday afternoon when their tanker truck was struck by a van at the intersection of Hwy. 62 and I-10. The van was driven by Alicia Chaisson, 45, of Orange, who was leaving work after she learned that her house on Tulane was on fire. The fire truck was knocked out of commission but no one received serious injuries. Bridge City VFD responded with McLewis to tap out the fire at Chaison's house, keeping the damage to mostly the one room where the fire started.

Mary Deneen Alexander, 47, broke into a wide smile and pumped her palms into the air after hearing the not guilty verdict. "God be the glory," she said outside the courtroom.
After more than four hours of deliberations, the jury deciding the case of a woman charged with operating two unlicensed assistant living facilities could not decide on a verdict for two of the counts, but did return a verdict of not guilty on the charge of neglect of an elderly/disabled adult.
Mary Deneen Alexander, 47, broke into a wide smile and pumped her palms into the air after hearing the not guilty verdict. "God be the glory," she said outside the courtroom.
"I'm glad we received a not guilty verdict," said defense attorney Todd Hopson. "I believe that was the correct verdict."
The not guilty verdict was for count three, in which Alexander was charged with neglecting one of the former residents at 15048 SW 25th Circle in Marion Oaks. She operates a similar home at 14115 SW 78th Terrace in the same development.
As for the charges of illegally operating the homes, the jury could not agree on a verdict because they disagreed on the definition of "personal care," which was an element of the case.
The state now has the option of retrying Alexander on those two counts.
During deliberations, the jury asked several questions about the law defining an assisted living facility. As part of the definition under state law, such establishments provide "housing, meals and one or more personal services …"
But the definition of personal service is ambiguous, leaving both the defense and state with different interpretations and therefore causing Circuit Judge Brian Lambert to limit his guidance to the jury.
On Friday during the defense's case, Alexander took the stand to defend her business.
"Samaritan Comfort is a licensed independent living facility," Alexander, 47, told the six-member jury. "We provide emergency shelter, and we also provide transitional housing as well."
After authorities inspected both residences, Alexander was given a cease and desist order for the homes. But on Friday, Alexander and current residents said that she is still running three other homes.
"Those houses are still operating in Marion Oaks," said Assistant State Attorney Phil Hanson in his closing argument. "They are going to keep operating like they've been operating until someone puts a stop to it. And I'm asking this jury to do that."
Alexander testified about charging a room and board fee for residents who could afford to pay. The money, she said, would subsidize accommodations for those that could not pay and stayed free of charge.
"This is not some terrible malevolent person; this is a person trying to fill a need in the community," said defense attorney Hopson in his closing argument.
Alexander said she explained to each new occupant that the business would not provide any assistance with personal care or medications. She testified about conducting background checks on residents, and her husband, Kevin Alexander, testified about having each resident checked by a local doctor soon after their arrival.
The morning began with Hanson resting his case after presenting testimony from Catherine Anne Avery of the Agency for Health Care Administration in Tallahassee, who said a license is required to operate an assisted living facility.
Hanson pointed out that a license would have subjected Mary Deneen Alexander's residences to inspections and would require staff to have background checks and proper training.
The manager at one residence had been recently released from prison on charges of possession and sale of cocaine.
Alexander had a license to operate the two homes as vacation rentals, which typically means a stay of fewer than 30 days.
Hopson asked Avery what the difference would be between an assisted living facility and a hotel. Avery said a hotel stay is typically brief and she categorized the assisted living facility stay as not being a stopover on the way to Disney World, but rather a destination for assistance.
"If they could live independently, they would be living independently," Avery said of assisted living facility residents.
During the trial, which began Thursday, the state provided testimony from former residents of Alexander's homes who said that during their stay their medications were locked up and were provided to them by a manager or assistant manager at the residences, which is a service provided by assisted living facilities.
The residents testified that they did not have a choice in the matter.
They also testified about being bitten by bed bugs.
But Alexander and defense witnesses said that was not the case.
"We had two tenants that had their medication locked up, one in the refrigerator and one in the pantry," said Melodie Petersheim, a former assistant house manager at the 25th Circle home. She said those residents requested that the meds be locked up.
"There was somebody at the house with a key at all times," said Kevin Alexander, who worked as a utility man at the business.
Petersheim said the tenants were free to come and go as they pleased.
She was asked about resident Charlotte Gingrich, who testified Thursday that the residence was not equipped to handle residents with handicaps.
Gingrich also claimed that her personal hygiene suffered during her stay because she wasn't able to bathe properly.
Petersheim said Gingrich never asked for any help.
Mary Deneen Alexander told the court she has been involved with helping individuals for 30 years and has received referrals from local law enforcement agencies and charity organizations. She said she also has worked a lot over the decades with the homeless through her church, Pentecostal Full Gospel Worship Center.
"She fed people, that's what we do," said the Rev. Lillian Tuggerson from the worship center, who took the stand Friday.
During the trial, Hopson did not move for a judgment of acquittal.
Alexander's daughter, Tara Tennille Collins-Johnson, 31, also was charged with the same offenses. She pleaded no contest on Feb. 13 to two counts of operating an unlicensed facility. The state dropped the third charge during the change of plea hearing. Circuit Judge Brian Lambert sentenced her to two concurrent five-year probation sentences.
This is not the first time the women were charged with this offense. In 2009 Collins-Johnson was charged with operating an unlicensed assisted living facility and later was given pretrial diversion, which allowed her to avoid a conviction.
For the 2009 case, Alexander pleaded no contest to operating an unlicensed assisted living facility and was sentenced to one year of probation. The state then dropped the second charge of neglecting a disabled or elderly adult. Adjudication was withheld in that case.

The journey that God seems to have carved out for Jerry Nelson, has certainly prepared him for today's flourishing concert ministry. After a decade in public school music and an earned doctorate, Jerry was at a crossroads, having to choose between teaching college, playing piano with the Gaither Trio, or directing a church orchestra. As right as the first two options seemed, he chose the latter. That choice, however, did not in any way curtail his creative involvement on stage with other Christian artists such as Sandi Patti, the Gaithers and Ralph Carmichael. In piano concert, he has teamed up with such greats as Dino and Anthony Burger.
Having built Eagles Nest Studio, his two decades of recording in that inspirational Rocky Mountain setting was an incredible stroke of providence. It's what not only equipped him to play in such a myriad of styles, but also gave him the tools to produce his own orchestra tracks - heard on every CD and in every concert. In fact, many of those sound tracks are now available on his Website along with his piano arrangements which are available to the public for the first time.
Not only pianists, but virtually every instrumentalist (trumpet, flute, violin, etc.) can secure arrangements and compatible accompaniment tracks. When the Japanese were just thinking about what to call Karaoke, Jerry was already doing it in the early 70's. At that time he gave birth to Clarion Productions, introducing the concept of Accompaniment Tracks to the Christian world. Jerry's son, Scott, has been its chief engineer and his photographer son, Brad, has added his creative genius to the layout and design of recorded product.
For Jerry, music came as naturally as walking. He started piano lessons at age seven; by age ten, and still barely able to reach the pedals, Jerry was designated pianist in a tiny Minnesota church. Directing its orchestra (of three players), it was a quantum leap, a few years later, to recording with the London Orchestra. Though composer of several dozen songs and musicals, he considers himself more of an "Arranger" with some 6,000 arrangements spanning a fulfilling career.
Well, you've met the man - to schedule Jerry for a concert or special event such as Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, Fall kickoff, Banquet or Cruise or even a Concert / Hymn Sing, contact his office through the contact page.

Today we have the opportunity to look at the HIS Radeon HD 5750. Being the entry level version of the Radeon 5000 series, it comes in at a price point of only $138.99 shipped. In the current economy, having a graphics card that offers as much as the HIS Radeon HD 5750 does makes this card a very attractive option for the mainstream gamer. Features such as full HDMI with audio will also make this a great card for those looking to build a quality HTPC.
Taking a closer look at the HIS HD5750 we can see that it is using the Juniper core which is built on 40nm technology. This is the same core that is on its big brother, the HD5770. The differences are a lower clock speed (700MHz versus 850MHz) and a slightly lower memory clock (1.2GHz (4.8GHz effective) on the HD5770 and 1.15GHz (4.6GHz effective) on the HD5750). The Radeon HD 5750 features nine SIMD engines for a total of 720 stream processors at 700 MHz.
The memory provided by Samsung is GDDR5 rated for 1.25GHz (5.0GHz effective) operation. As stated above, it comes factory clocked at 1.15GHz (4.6GHz effective). Later in the review we will overclock the memory and see what the Samsung memory modules are capable of.
The back of the HIS Radeon HD5750 is home to four memory IC's as well as the serial number. The serial number will be needed if your card ever needs to be RMA'd. HIS offers a one year warranty on their products.
Pulling the cooler off of the card you can see that is made solely out of aluminum.
In the current times of heatpipes and even the common use of copper for heat dissipation I was a bit surprised to see an aluminum heat sink on a non-reference card. According to HIS the iCooler IV is designed for faster transfer of the heat out of the gpu. The noise level of the iCooler IV is rated for under 30dB's. We will check out how well the iCooler IV works in a bit. First, let's take a look at all the goodies you get with your purchase.

Imagine having more than 100 of next year's snowboards sitting in front of you while looking at a mountain filled with powder and excellent groomers. Guess you'd just have to take turns on all of them.
The editors of Snowboard Life magazine have gathered at Mammoth Mountain, California to do just this. They are conducting the second annual Top 25 Board Review, which pits more than 130 of next year's boards from 40 different snowboard brands against each other to be judged by seven different testers, and finally whittled down to the top 25 freeriding and top five women's models of the year.
For six days the group of male and female testers will put the boards through freeriding paces, taking turns on Mammoth's steeps, groomers, big jumps, rails, and super pipes.
The testers include a mixture of editors, pros and former pros, and snowboard instructors with many, many years of riding experience. The group includes three women and four men to test the different boards.
One of the testers, World Cup Giant Slalom racer and 1998 Nagano Olympic competitor Lisa Kosglow, came into the mounting and storage room after trying out one board and exclaimed with a big smile, "This board carves better than my GS board!" She, like the others, have ridden boards they loved, and ones that stunk as well, just to sort out which are the best boards of the season.
The Top 25 freeriding boards and top five women's boards will be announced in the October issue of Snowboard Life magazine, which hits newsstands in September right in time to buy a new board. Until then, hang on to your old board because it'd be a waste to spend money on a board that didn't make the Top 25.
