mc8 wrote:The comment about bar pressure must be a joke, right? I mean, i never heard a girl complaining about it, some stronger guys wanted even more pressure, so its really hard for me to understand this. When i tried the fast setting, bar pressure was too light for me- couldn't feel the kite all the time ( similar to bandit 5 ), and i don't like that "bow style" bar pressure.
Hangtime was indeed a weak point of first generation, but i believe they made the biggest improvement here. A friend of mine demoed lots of kites, and told me he had problems landing jumps with Boss ( sorry, i know it should be smoke thread ), because he wasn't used to being in the air that long. Not saying its the best jumper out there, but it was superior to the ones he tried. I also rode the old and the new Boss side by side, and they really made a huge improvement regarding hangtime.
As for Smoke windrange, i weigh 75kg, and been on the water with it from 13knts ( way underpowered, but could stay upwind ) to 35knt ( little overpowered, but still in control for some nice jumps ). When a gust hit a 40, it was too much for me
Upwind, i think it has more to do with rider himself, and the board, but i could be wrong. Never had problems riding few kilometers upwind - better riders were faster than me, others stayed way behind ( in front actually ).
As for unhooked, i can't say much, as i can do only few tricks, but its looking pretty solid when Hannah, Lou and others show off with some fancy freestyle
The build quality is excelent, and the bar is surely one of the best out there. I'm sure you're gonna love that kite. Looking forward to your first impressions

• maundy •
mawn-dee • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: Today is Maundy Thursday, a traditional Christian celebration of the Last Supper, a Passover meal, probably the last Seder of Jesus Christ.
Notes: Historically Maundy Thursday was celebrated by the sovereign's washing the feet of the poor as Jesus washed the feet of his disciples at the Last Supper. More recently this ceremony has been replaced by giving alms, or "Maundy Coins", to the poor. Maundy is celebrated on the Thursday before Good Friday and Easter.
In Play: Today's Maundy coins are given ceremoniously to as many senior citizens as the sovereign has lived years. They are given Maundy coins as a reward for Christian service to their communities. The British sovereign gives each recipient two small leather purses on Maundy Thursday: one containing ordinary money, the other, specially struck silver Maundy coins, the same number in pence as the sovereign's age.
Word History: As Jesus washed the feet of his disciples at the Last Supper, he said, "And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" John 15:12. Unfortunately, this 11th Commandment is too often forgotten, perhaps explaining the fading interest in Maundy Thursday. "New commandment" in Latin is mandatum novum. The Latin phrase over time was reduced to the single word mandatum, which descended to Old French as mandé, at which point it was borrowed by English and, over even more time, reduced to today's Good Word. (May we all today remember Christ's famous "maundy" and apply it to everyone we know, especially to Larry Brady, who suggested today's Good Word.)

I haven't shared with you a couple of our newest aquiring's.
Meet, Sassy and Charlotte, oh and Hallie.
We have had mice problems, bad.....
It comes with living in the country, as does peace and quiet, and wide open spaces. Mice must enjoy the peace and quiet and wide open spaces too.
We knew what had to be done, we needed to get some barn cats.
About that time a friend adopted a cute little cat who 3 weeks later gave her 7 more cute little cats.
Side note: I have a couple of friends,(Hi Megan and Sarah) who in college went and bought a couple of cats at a pet store and one of their dad's threw a fit. He told her that you never pay for a cat, you can always find one for free.
Funny how that has always stuck with me. (:
We are not cat people. I'm barely a dog person. I know, I know, how could I have chickens and not a dog or a cat. It's easy..... I can leave my chickens outside, even for a couple of days with an auto feeder and water. Cats and dogs are different. They need care and love and cuddles and you can't leave them for a weekend without someone checking on them......
Sometimes a Mama can only care and cuddle so many things, and my kids take up most those care and cuddles.
Cats were not on my radar.
Until now.......
I'm kinda a cat person now. Well, at a distance.
I don't want them in my house, but I will cuddle and care for them outside. Believe me when I say they are well cared for and cuddled by three little girls all the time.
They love the chickens and drink with them out of their auto waterer. They cruise the coop and you can find them sleeping out with the chickens or on the patio furniture, or maybe in my husbands Jeep.
OK so they have taken over.

GIS Technology: A Valuable Tool for Local Health Departments and Public Health Programs
Indiana Epidemiology Newsletter
May 2007
R. J. Beck
Water and Vector Control Specialist
Tippecanoe County Health Department
In recent years, many of Indiana's local health departments (LHD) have incorporated GIS into their existing public health programs. What once was marked on a paperboard map with pushpins has been replaced with detailed information stored in databases, mapping software, and aerial photographs. For those of you who may not be familiar with GIS or GPS units, they are simply defined as:
GIS - Geographic Information System - a collection of computer hardware, software, and geographic data used to store, view, manage, and analyze all forms of geographic information, especially maps.
GPS - Global Positioning System - a system of satellites, computers, and receivers able to determine the latitude and longitude of a receiver on earth by calculating the time difference for signals from different satellites to reach the receiver.
Mapping techniques, variations in GPS receivers, and software can be tailored to fit the individual needs of any program. LHDs in rural areas may not have an immediate need for a GIS program, while larger, more urban LHDs may have several advanced mapping units and staff specifically responsible for a GIS program. The program being developed in Tippecanoe County lies somewhat in the middle of these two extremes. While we have the luxury of GIS staff at the county level for assistance, Health Department personnel have developed a GIS program to fit our specific needs. The following is an overview of how the Tippecanoe County Health Department (TCHD) saw a need and implemented GIS to enhance our existing environmental programs.
Getting to Know GIS
In 2003, Tippecanoe County and the City of Lafayette launched a GIS Web site which included parcel information and many useful layers such as floodplain boundaries, soil descriptions, topography, and catch basins, to name a few. Although no TCHD staff had any prior training or experience with GIS, they quickly gained hands-on experience from accessing the Tippecanoe County Web site and using the layers and tools available. Staff within the TCHD environmental division realized an immediate use for mapping of on-site sewage systems, mosquito surveillance, and water sampling locations. Fortunately, we had a wealth of knowledge within the information technology department at the county level and very helpful GIS personnel to assist when necessary. After several brainstorming and tutorial sessions, we were on our way!
In 2004, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) received grant dollars from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to purchase GPS handheld units (Garmin Etrex Legend, valued at $170 apiece) for each county in Indiana that requested a unit. We quickly jumped at the opportunity to incorporate a field unit to complement the existing mapping capabilities from the county Web site. The Garmin Etrex Legend is a "basic" handheld unit capable of multiple data sets and vague mapping. Although there are more advanced mapping and surveying units capable of managing datasets and detailed mapping, the Garmin Etrex Legend fit the scope of our program.
Firsthand Experience
During 2004, TCHD environmental staff began using the handheld units for marking locations in the field during routine inspections. Although the units seemed intimidating and clumsy at first, staff quickly became familiar with the setup and features available. One important feature that any handheld unit should have when marking a location is Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). WAAS allows the user to have a much more precisely marked location, which, in turn, will help to retrieve the location in the future.
Interest began to grow within the department pertaining to GIS, its uses, and benefits. Two additional Garmin Etrex Legend units were purchased for staff and interns to use when conducting field work. What started with single handheld units marking septic systems quickly grew into a large database and mapping program for all permitted residential sewage systems, all mosquito-related activities, and surface and groundwater monitoring locations.
Handheld units are used to mark and locate septic tanks, distribution boxes, and perimeter drain outlets. Each year, saved locations can easily be downloaded to a personal computer and incorporated to the county GIS Web site with detailed information available to staff and the public. Features available on the county GIS Web site allow staff to view layers such as soil characteristics, topography, and floodplain information when planning and determining feasibility for on-site sewage systems. Mapping techniques have also been used with great success in local watershed management plans. Areas of a watershed with dwellings that have no records of sewage systems were highlighted and targeted to educate those individuals about the importance of proper sewage disposal.
The two environmental programs significantly enhanced by GIS are the mosquito and water sampling programs. With very limited staff and resources, GIS has helped us to identify and target areas known to have mosquito-breeding problems. By using floodplain data and tracking precipitation amounts, maps can be generated that direct staff in response to various rainfall amounts to particular areas that hold water following rain events. In addition, adult mosquito trapping locations and locations of dead birds provide evidence of West Nile virus activity that can be mapped to identify clusters of elevated virus activity. This aids in the effort to warn the public of the potential for human infection and the need for personal protection strategies.
During 2005, handheld units were used during a county-wide groundwater sampling program. Well locations were mapped along with results from the nitrate tests being conducted. By overlaying soil maps along with testing location and results, clusters of elevated nitrate levels were obviously recognized in areas of sandy-based soil coupled with shallow well depths. Although soils information is not described in the illustration, a trend of elevated samples can be followed along the stem of the Wabash River where there are primarily sandy-based soils.
Each recreational season, public access sites along local waterways are tested for bacteria levels. Should any location exceed bathing beach standards, signs are posted to warn patrons of elevated levels of bacteria. Beginning in 2007, the public can access the county GIS Web site to learn testing dates and test results on an interactive map as illustrated below.
Looking to the Future
Interest within the TCHD continues to grow and new uses for GIS will soon become commonplace not only in the environmental division but also in the foods and swimming pool inspection programs. Soon, staff members from both programs hope to have inspection reports available on the county GIS Web site along with a link to the Visitors Bureau to aid patrons in making informed decisions and to facilitate establishment owners striving for excellence.
Establishing a GIS program, or simply becoming familiar with GPS units and mapping software, can be a daunting and intimidating task. There certainly will be obstacles with cost, technology, or personnel, but the development and enhancement to public health programs far outweigh the initial hurdles. Not all GIS programs require elaborate software or units. For example, the TCHD began with a single donated handheld unit, helpful information technology staff, and a willingness to be open to change and possibility. Recent budgets for the environmental division have been a meager $2,500 for supplies, which translates into utilizing available resources on the Web and within the county. If you are interested but do not know where to begin, contact ISDH representatives who can provide information on several counties in Indiana that have established GIS programs and would be happy to assist in your efforts. Training opportunities and Internet Web sites offering free downloads of data and aerial photography include:

14 September quiz: What about the extra line in FORMAT_ERROR_STACK? (1382)
The 14 September quiz asked: Which of the following blocks display (without the quotation marks) "ORA-20000: Balance too low!"? Several players wrote to remind me "None of the answers will display JUST the indicated message since there will be an extra CR/LF at the end (one for FORMAT_ERROR_STACK and one for PUT_LINE)." I agree and hopefully we can all agree: the DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_STACK function returns the error stack, plus an additional line feed character. And if I had asked "Which of the blocks display absolutely nothing more than "ORA-20000: Balance too low!" then I suppose I would have to score all choices as wrong. Since I only asked which would show that string (and not just that string), though, I believe the scoring is correct. And I sure hope that going forward I will write my questions and choices so that this additional character will never play a role in determining whether a choice is correct or incorrect. Cheers, Steven

If it wasn't for that quiz a week or two ago where someone commented on the CR/LF, how many would actually have known? I for sure didn't and I am also not losing sleep over it ;-)ReplyDelete
For the sake of accuracy "plus an additional line feed character" is actually two characters in Windows: ASCII 13,10 and a single character ASCII 10 in UNIX. (Can't believe I'm actually writing this ;-)
I just hope such "discoveries" or "copycats thereof" will not develop into a challenge of its own.
Oddly enough, Mike, Oracle adds JUST a line feed character to the string. Not TWO characters. And this was in Windows.ReplyDelete

text: Knights young and old embrace their community's storied past News Home 06.19.14 By: Mark Tarnacki Junior prom for Gaston Tessier '43 at Saint Michael's College in 1942 took an unexpected turn when his mother sent word he should bring his date and come without delay to the local hospital. It seems the newest Tessier baby was determined to enter the world that very night. That newborn was Tim Tessier '64, who doesn't feel too guilty about the whole episode considering the eventual outcome with that date. "He married her anyway," Tim said as Gaston chuckled at a Golden Knights reception in the new Dion Family Student Center over Reunion Weekend, June 6-8. Tim, the youngest of four Tessier brothers to attend Saint Michael's College as commuters from their working-class French-Canadian household in Burlington's Old North End, joined with his 1964 classmates to become the latest "Golden Knights" – the college's term for alumni 50 or more years out. As far as anybody knows, it was the first instance of the college celebrating four living alumni brothers as Golden Knights. The Tessiers were among more than 850 alumni and friends who returned to campus for a traditional celebration that included Golden Knights activities Thursday (featuring a Mass and dinner), golf, tours, a bus pilgrimage to newly renovated Saint Anne's Shrine, a special panel presentation on estate planning, a Fun Run, the State of the College address by President Jack Neuhauser, large meals such as Champagne and strawberry brunches, a lobster bake (with music) and chicken barbecue under a tent, plus plenty of individual class events on and off campus. While Louis Tessier '59 had an unfortunate health scare right before reunion that landed him in the hospital to recuperate over the weekend, Gaston '43, Alan '55, and Tim Tessier '64 chatted at Thursday's reception between the Golden Knights Mass and dinner about "coming home," and what this reunion meant to their family – in particular, what it would have meant to their self-sacrificing late parents. The brothers' story was front-page feature-news in that day's Burlington Free Press in a piece that mentioned their mother's connection to Edmundite priests, affording a natural strong connection to Saint Michael's. But the brothers stressed how their father deserves much credit too as a great champion of his children's education. A hard-working skilled carpenter and craftsmen who had come down from Quebec in his youth, their dad helped build several buildings still in use around Burlington today, they said with pride. Stories of memorable days on the Hill flowed at Reunion from the Tessiers and others. The brothers shared how they'd often bring classmates home and it became almost an informal clubhouse to practice French -- a required subject then – perhaps over a few beers. The Edmundites were close family friends, they said, and continually came for visits too. Their educations allowed the brothers to have great careers: Chemistry major Gaston had a long and prominent career as a food chemist with General Foods and after his first wife died he married Stella, who was with him for the weekend. Alan, an English major, was founder of the second-largest market-research company in the U.S., which he sold a few years ago, and he now lives on Long Island. Louis, who majored in economics, is a stockbroker in Burlington. Tim majored in English and has a sign and graphics business, but never regrets his liberal arts education. "It's true for all these guys around here -- they're living really enriched lives," he said. "It's really an unusual school – there's a lot of fidelity and just genuineness." "Though our parents aren't here, I think the thing we all thought about is the sacrifice for them and how they really would have enjoyed the moment," Tim Tessier said, "and I'm sure they're seeing it from someplace. This is a big accomplishment for us – it's no small thing. " Another memorable story came from Everest P. Smith Jr. '56 at Friday evening's Leadership Reception, also held in Dion, where he was among this year's group inducted into the Society of Mont-Saint-Michel for lifetime giving of $250,000 or more. "Ev" spoke of the life-changing difference that the Edmundite fathers and nearby Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph sisters at Fanny Allen Hospital made for him as a young man who grew up in an orphanage and wanted to play sports, football and boxing and attend college, but was short of money. The sisters gave him a job at the hospital all four years to work his way through school, he said, and the generous Edmundites never once sent him a "reminder" of money owed, instead trusting him to pay when he could, "and I paid it off in three years, 10, 20, 15 dollars at a time," he said. It all inspired his deep desire to give back to St. Mike's, he said, and most important, it led to his meeting his beloved late wife of many decades, Lorraine. "With their compassion and influence they all made it possible for me to graduate from college." He went on to a notable career as an umpire, coach and athletics director. Other Society of Mont-Saint-Michel inductee-speakers were Jack Bergeron '70 on behalf of his family's foundation, who like the Tessiers gave credit to his parents who "taught us to give back to the community and be selfless"; and President Emeritus Marc and Dana vanderHeyden. "You've been an essential part of our lives and we carry you with us wherever we go," said Dana vanderHeyden. Marc vanderHeyden spoke of how hard it was for him to retire at first because he "really missed the company of young people who force you to think and rethink and keep the adrenalin going." He said he and Dana were "In love with this institution," first with its history, then with its people as they came to know them. Student Jack Loomis '16 addressed the group too – his grandfather Edward Ouellette was Class of '53, noted master of ceremonies Patrick Gallivan, vice president for Institutional Advancement, who was celebrating a silver anniversary with his spirited 1989 classmates. Loomis said "My time at Saint Mike's is better than I could ever have imagined." He told of his many activities and studies that include summer research on Vermont waterways, inspiring him to use a water image in thanking the donors, borrowing from a Mother Tersesa of Calcutta quote: "You've caused ripples (by supporting the college) and we have noticed," he said. "I hope to follow your example one day." Friday evening also was June 6 – D-Day -- and Walter Fitzmaurice '49, took time at his table during the lobster bake under a tent to remember his service that day in 1944 when he was a young radio operator and ball gunner for a B-24, only in his late teens. "On D-Day the B-24s went way into Germany but they couldn't bomb the beach – they couldn't see it was so overcast, so when I came back they aborted the mission in our group. However they took me and a couple other guys to take pictures of any openings in the overcast, but there weren't any, you couldn't see a thing," he recounted. Walt flew and survived 30 missions, and with others in his group received a belated honor from the French government several years ago for heroism. He still feels deeply grateful to Saint Michael's for admitting him after the war, he said, given his high school record in Maine before the service. But once given a chance, he majored in biology and did well thanks in part to help from the priest-professors along with many other veterans among his fellow students. He found a good career after graduation doing lab work and eventually ended up with his family in Natick, MA at a high-level job. "I like to come back here," he said of his annual visits for maybe the most 15 recent years. "There were a lot of fun things that happened and we had a lot of good times. It's fantastic seeing the campus today." Winners of key alumni awards over the weekend included: Alumni of the Year 2014: Lauren M. Hurley'04, William D. Moore '74 P'06'09'11'13 and Lucille Paolantonio'79 Young Alumna of the Year 2014: Rita Farrell '09 Rev. John Verret, SSE '35 Good Citizen Award: Richard E. Cote '89 In his State of the College talk, President Neuhauser reviewed modern challenges to small liberal arts colleges in New England – among them unfavorable economics, decreased public investment in higher education, technology changes that affect how courses are delivered, and demographics that mean far fewer students in the prospect pool. However, he said, "at Saint Michael's our goal is to remain nimble and respond quickly" to all these challenges by measures that include being financially conservative in planning, reducing tuition while concentrating on providing financial aid to those who need it, taking advantage of e-learning, making better use of campus year around and strengthening one-on-one relationships between faculty and students. The college will emphasize those things it does best in programs such as MOVE and Fire and Rescue, increase the size and diversity of the applicant pool, increase alliances with other institutions, continue to increase collaborate faculty-student research dramatically while recognizing the importance of athletics to recruiting, he said. Addressing the Golden Knights at their Thursday dinner, the president spoke of all the difficulties that they made the best of in their times in terms of campus facilities, tough grading, working summer jobs to pay tuition, in many cases military service, and ultimately just making it to graduation through the assortment of challenges that life inevitably offered. "…You had to leave this little enclave for half a century and return, like Odysseus, to a very different place. But, you did it, you stayed connected to each other and to the College, and now, you are Golden Knights," he said.

Portrait of Mr Baldassare Castiglione, Renaissance author and courtier, by Raphael
Once a man's achieved sartorial perfection - think perfectly fitting navy suit, pale blue shirt, burgundy tie and polished black Oxfords - it's time to adopt a mask of sartorial nonchalance, a concept better known as sprezzatura.
Purposeful imperfection in dress - the elusive theory and practice of strategic dishevelment - is a phrase I coined in the pages of Town & Country magazine more than 20 years ago. However, I didn't invent the concept; I merely did the spadework to uncover its foundations. Like so many modern phenomena, the roots of this modus operandi can be found in the Italian Renaissance. The supreme author of that fecund period of etiquette writing was Mr Baldassare Castiglione, who set down the principles of perfected casualness in his study of court propriety, The Book of the Courtier, which was published in Venice in 1528.
His advice on the purposefully broken rule - which might these days involve leaving the buckles on your monk-strap shoes undone - was taken up by the courtiers of Urbino and Mantua, for whom he provided his instruction, and from there the concept spread north and east to Germany with the 16th-century Allemagne style of slashed breeches and doublet. Next it came to England, where it was seen in the nonchalant dress of the Cavaliers, which was so brilliantly described in the works of the poet Mr Robert Herrick. The nonchalance that conceals artistry also inspired the Regency bucks in the circle around Mr Beau Brummell and King George IV in the early years of the 19th century. And as a side note, we have only to look at the era of President Andrew Jackson and then the post-WWII Rebel Without a Cause period to see the same principle at work in the US.

I got car money, fresh start money
I want Saudi money, I want art money
I want women to cry and pour out their heart for me
And tell me how much they hate it when they apart from me
Yeah, and lately I do bitches the meanest
Tell 'em I love 'em and don't ever mean it, we go on dates
I send the Maybach out in neighbourhoods they never seen it
That shit is dangerous but it so convenient
I ain't lying, yeah, and comfortable I sit
That manual Ferrari Italia, some fly shit
It's sitting at the house like I bought in '96
Cause honestly I'm too fucking busy to drive stick
I swear, too fucking busy, too busy fucking
This nigga girl, but to me she wasn't
Been hot before they open doors for me, pre-heated oven
I'm in this so but I ain't finished though, it's been a minute though
My newest girl from back home, got issues with parents
And some charges, how the fuck can I get her to Paris?
Luckily, I'm the greatest my country's ever seen
So chances are I get the border to issue me clearance
Dreams money can buy
Everybody yelled "Surprise!", I wasn't surprised
That's only cause I been waiting on it, nigga
So fuck whoever hating on a nigga, of course
[Verse 2]
Food from India, she in Charlotte Olympia's
We talked music for hours she never mentioned ya
Can't tell you how much I love when niggas think they got it
And I love the fact that line made 'em think about it
YMCMB, these niggas make it so hard
To be friendly when I know part of it's envy
Tryna fill the shoes, nigga so far these are empty
I take em off in the house because the throw carpets are Fendi
Ohh, I never seen the car you claim to drive
Well shit I seen it, you just ain't inside
And I feel like lately it went from top 5 to remaining 5
My favorite rappers either lost it or ain't alive
And they tryna bring us down me, Weezy and Stunna
We stayed up, Christmas lights in the middle of summer
And if the girl standing next to me got a fat ass
Then I'll probably give her my number
Yeah, I throw my dollars up high
And they land on the stage you dance on
We got company coming over
Would it kill you to put some pants on?
Dreams money can buy
They told me it's like a high, and it wasn't a lie
Yeah, just have some good pussy waiting on a nigga

So the Borders in the town where I live is going out of business. This makes me incredibly sad, as I like Borders better than B&N, and this Borders has always employed really decent, friendly, bright people, unlike my local B&N.
BF and I went there last weekend to take advantage of 20% off the entire store, and I gave in and bought a hardback that I've been wanting to read for some time now (since I read this): Portia de Rossi's memoir Unbearable Lightness. I don't like hardbacks, for a slew of reasons, and I didn't really want to buy this one, but I badly wanted to read it instead of waiting a year for it to come out in paperback. Now that I'm a third of the way through, I am so glad that I caved.
For those of you who haven't heard of it, this book is the story of Portia's all-consuming eating disorder (interesting choice of words my brain gave me there) during the years she was on Ally McBeal. She had been coping with eating disorder behavior since she was about 12, but between 1998 and 2002, she shaved herself down to 82 pounds at her thinnest before the disorder was finished with her.
This is a fascinating book, thoroughly real, intelligently written, and as candid as you could possibly want a memoir to be. It's given me a great deal to think about, in part because of my own long-ago struggle, in part because of what's going on in my diet and life now, and in part because it's just a doggone incredible piece of work.
What's going on now is that my wedding is just over three months away, and I am not as skinny as I'd like to be. I feel loose everywhere, with a body that's…undisciplined. Generally I've been feeling overwhelmed and under-prepared for life in the last three months, and this means that my ability to make healthy meals at home has slipped, and I've been relying on frozen foods a lot. My psychological reserves are way down, and I can't resist comfort foods, I can't take the energy to count calories, I can't make myself do much of anything that my mind is resisting.
I've been feeling angry at myself, lazy, undisiplined. But when I read about Portia's ironclad discipline during these awful years, it makes me wonder what's so great about being disciplined anyway, particularly about diet and exercise. At less than 100 pounds, at 300 calories per day, she still spent hours on the treadmill every morning. Her anxiety about her appearance led her to a kind of leveled-up self-discipline that I'm not sure I ever want to experience.
I joined Planet Fitness in January and I've been trying to make it there twice a week, to spend gradually increasing spells on the elliptical. I like the elliptical. It's not as hollowing and jagged as running, and I still manage to work up a sweat. Ace of Base and Ke$ha keep me company, and I feel utterly satisfied when I get home.
I have been beating myself up that I haven't set strict goals and met them, going there three or four times a week without fail and insisting on a certain amount of time on the machine at a certain level (or working my way up to running, which I don't really like but burns more calories), but I just didn't think that was the way to success for me. I thought if I aimed for twice a week and made it more about the memory of how good I feel when I'm done, I'd do better, dread it less, maybe even make it more often.
After reading about what Portia put herself through, I am much surer that this was the right way to go about it. If it weren't for the wedding, I might abandon all of my concern about how my body looks and focus only on how it feels. I wish I had a more defined midsection and slimmer hips, arms and neck. But the more of this harrowing book I read, the more I think it might just not matter, maybe not at all, as long as I have a good brain, a good heart, and good health.
From the epilogue:
I'd still like thighs the size of my calves, but the difference is that I'm no longer willing to compromise my happiness to achieve it, or for the thought of my thighs to take up valuable space in my mind. It's just not that important.

Mayor Don Wesely announced today he will ask the City Council to transfer funds within the Parks and Recreation Department budget to allow for acquisition of a new trail corridor through Wilderness Park in southwest Lincoln. The trail, to be built on abandoned railroad right-of-way, would be dubbed the Jamaica North Trail, as it begins at the historic Jamaica town site south of Saltillo Road.
"We have a unique opportunity to put this trail through one of our most beautiful and sensitive natural areas," Wesely said. "We have worked for about a year with the Union Pacific Railroad and the Great Plains Trails Network to get to this moment, and I am excited about moving forward."
In October 2001, Union Pacific filed for abandonment of about 8.5 miles of railroad right-of-way extending from a half mile south of Saltillo Road through Wilderness Park. Abandonment of the railroad right-of-way would allow for the trail corridor to extend through "A" Street. The Lincoln-Lancaster County Comprehensive Plan identifies this railroad right-of-way as a future commuter/recreation trail extending through west Lincoln, ultimately connecting downtown Lincoln with the future Homestead Trail to the south. In addition, the City Public Works and Utilities Department may use the right-of-way corridor for easements compatible with the trails to extend of water and sanitary sewer mains in the future.
"Lincoln's premiere trail system is based in large part on abandoned railroad right-of-way," Wesely said. "Acquisition of this piece of abandoned Union Pacific right-of-way is a significant opportunity to provide for extension and connection of the trail system. Being able to use the right-of-way to extend water and sewer utilities is an added incentive." Wesely also thanked Union Pacific for donating a significant portion of the right-of-way.
City staff and representatives of Union Pacific began negotiating for acquisition of the abandoned railroad right-of-way after the request for abandonment was filed with the federal Surface Transportation Board. An agreement for acquisition of the property was finalized in October 2002. The parcel is being acquired under the Trails Act as part of the national "Rails to Trails" program, which preserves the right-of-way for possible future railroad use and allows for the interim use of the land as a recreational trail.
The purchase price of the property will be $605,000. The cost is being shared between City departments, with the Public Works and Utilities Department financing about two-thirds.
"There are considerable real savings to the water and sewer main projects in terms of time and dollars," said Public Utilities Administrator Steve Masters. "Less time will be spent negotiating easements for the future construction projects, and it will be easier to build the projects in the abandoned railroad right-of-way rather than in nearby streets."
The Parks and Recreation Department is cooperating with the Great Plains Trails Network (GPTN) to fund the remaining third of the cost, or about $223,000. GPTN has pledged $100,000 of the acquisition cost. GPTN has also committed to raise an additional $50,000 to develop a master plan for the future trail. The action sought from the City Council would reallocate funds within the Parks and Recreation Department's Capital Improvement Program budget to cover the remainder.
Parks and Recreation Director Lynn Johnson applauded the ongoing partnership between the City and GPTN to expand Lincoln's trail system.
"Without GPTN volunteers, the trail system Lincoln residents prize so highly would not be the outstanding amenity we enjoy every day of the year," Johnson said. "I cannot thank them enough for their tremendous support."

Of course, I don't want to go too far in rehabbing this ep. Dan Neyer has done a good job of reminding me and all other partakers of this blog of Scrooge's lengthy history of (momentary) hysteria, but the old miser's ceaseless verbal battering of his "partners in dive" has ALWAYS irritated the living hell out of me, and it still does today. Nor have I ever understood why Scrooge would sign off on allowing Doofus to provide the "youth interest" on this trip, especially since Scrooge (as Greg correctly noted) has had virtually no interaction whatsoever with the Nephews' portly pal up until this point in the production order of the series. The on-edge Scrooge who had two mini-fits in "Economy" and pitched the funniest tantrum in the history of TV animation in "Whale" should have known that changing the usual cast of adventuring characters in this manner was asking for trouble. Add on the expected moments of bumbledom from LP, Gyro, and Doofus to set Scrooge off and the insertion of a not-so-very-subtle environmental message, and you have an episode that, while it has its share of strong points, still has a distinct tendency to grate on one's sensibilities like sand in one's beachwear.
Three Ducks of the Condor" originally presented Scrooge in a far harsher light, playing up his tendency to boss others around so as to provide a better contrast to the imperious Joaquin Slolee. I think that some of the excess bile that was ultimately drawn out of that ep must have trickled its way into this one. Scrooge's second line of dialogue (which ironically follows words of praise for Gyro's quick construction of the Gold Digger) is already of the "snarky dig" variety, and we're off to the (verbal) razes. The worst part of Scrooge's opening salvo of spleen sploodge is his immediate bashing of Doofus, starting with the implied claim that Doofus' approval of Gyro's "Super Fizz" drink means that the kid isn't human (or avian, or whatever). Scrooge hadn't seen ANY real evidence of Doofus' fallibility in "Merit-Time Adventure," "Hero for Hire," or "Where No Duck Has Gone Before." Nor had Doofus yet done anything to tick Scrooge off in this episode. Heck, even Launchpad hadn't really screwed anything up at this point, since the initial 'copter crash occurred because of a mechanical problem. Scrooge's behavior in these early scenes seems like an incredibly crude way of setting up the subsequent conflicts between him and the "morons" on his team. Keyes would have been much better off letting Scrooge's anger build as the episode progressed.
Of the three "morons," Gyro arguably is the least deserving of Scrooge's abuse; the stuck valve that caused the premature inflation of the balloon inside the Gold Digger is, like the 'copter crash, a mechanical malfunction, and Scrooge should have known that bugs might develop in the Gold Digger due to the lack of beta-testing. (Oddly enough, after the gang plugs the leaks that develop in the Marinara Trench, the seaworthiness of the Digger is never an issue again.) Where Scrooge might have found additional fault with the inventor was the method Gyro created to get Scrooge's money off the ocean bottom: using balloons to float it to the surface in bags. Rather small bags. If you accept the premise of "A Christmas for Shacktown" regarding how long it would take Scrooge to haul his money out of the quicksand pit by toy train...
next door to Equestria, perchance?
The most impressive sequence of "Aqua" is probably the stretch between the Ducks' dive into the Marinara Trench and their capture by the Fish Folk. The Trench visuals provide us with our first tantalizing hint that "The Secret of Atlantis" may have been mined for source material: the appearance of weird, luminescent fish. Granted, Barks takes fuller advantage of the situation by using the fish to explain why Atlantis can enjoy daylight, but "Aqua" makes up for shedding less (natural) light on its subjects by including a neat "passage of time" scene in which the Gold Digger switches on its lights in dramatic fashion. Remarkably enough, the figure of "5000 fathoms" (9140 feet) reported by Launchpad during the Ducks' descent is pretty close to the actual record dive depth in the real-world Marianas Trench, the mark of 10,916 feet at the so-called Challenger Deep. Since the Digger still had a ways to go before touching bottom at the time LP issued that statement, the actual depth of the Marinara Trench must have been even closer to the real-world figure. I suspect that Barks would heartily approve of such accuracy.
GeoX reported as "an Are You Being Served?" reference -- personally, I was thinking of elevator operator Bugs' announcement to the Great Gildersleeve character in Hare Conditioned (1945) -- we get one of the series' most eye-popping pop-culture references, Scrooge's brief "Mammy" call-back. Would this has slipped through today? I highly doubt it. Even Doofus seems somewhat taken aback by Scrooge's Jolson take, and we've had 25 years to sharpen our "sensitivities" since then. Soon thereafter follows another classic movie reference, with Scrooge lamenting the "morons on [his] team" in the manner of the Strother Martin character in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Might this be considered a call-ahead to a future Don Rosa story featuring those raffish title characters?
Construction Robots by acquiring distinctly sentient characteristics. The "humanoid" way in which the Digger attempts to squiggle away from the Ducks' would-be captors is very nicely done.
Visually, the design and setting of the sunken "junkyard" of Atlantis -- complete with upside-down ship where the imprisoned Ducks can survive, Poseidon-style -- are most impressive. How unfortunate, therefore, that the animators couldn't keep the appearance of the place straight. The sunken Atlantis, with its coral-encrusted towers and temples, looks like an underwater Bedrock; the newly raised city, by contrast, loses its calcium carbonate coating almost immediately. By the time "Working for Scales" opens, the place looks like a brand-new Las Vegas resort (and with Scrooge's fortune now arranged into a tidy pile, to boot). I'll have more to say about the decidedly jagged join between "Aqua" and "Working for Scales" in my next entry, but, for now, I'll just let the contradictory pictures speak for themselves.

Difference between revisions of "Udumalaippettai"
Revision as of 13:13, 11 August 2011
Udumalaippettai (also called Udamalpet or UDT) is in India and is a nice resting place away from the humdrum of the high route to Palani.
Get in
Udumalpet is on the new National Highway connecting Coimbatore and Madurai. It is about 75 kms from the industrial city of Coimbatore (which has an airport)in the North, 60 kms from the Hosiery Town of Tirupur in the North East, 35 kms from the Temple Town of Palani in the East, 75 kms from Palghat (Kerala) in the West and 85 kms from the Hill Resort of Munnar (Kerala) in the South.
Udumalpet is also on the Coimbatore-Rameswaram railway line which has a branch route to Palghat in Kerala.
Get around
The town is surrounded by hills and has a great weather throughout the year. The town is also called as Poor man's ooty because of its climate. Udumalpet is close to many tourist attractions - Palani Temple (35 km), Munnar (88 km), Kodaikanal (100 km) and Thirumoorthy Hills (21 km), Topslip, Aaliyar (35 km).
Waterfalls in Thirumoorthy hills draws quite a number of tourists. It takes half an hour to the falls by trekking from the Thirumoorthy temple. The Thirumoorthy temple is an excellent scenic place with Amanalingeshwarar Thirukkoil at the foot hills. The way atop the hill is pretty exciting up to some 1 km and extremely challenging to go beyond that. It is said if you bend and crawl for about 40 meters beneath a rock behind Panchalingam, you could reach the next layer of Western Ghats, i.e the plain between two adjacent hills and it is said that even tigers exist there.
The villages surrounding Udumalpet are well known for their beauty. Villages are crisscrossed by Amaravathi river and various irrigation canals. Coconut tree farms are common sight and this area is one of the leading producer of coconuts. The countryside is a popular film shooting spot, providing scenic backgrounds and greenery. Thirumoorthy hills houses a beautiful dam which is a very famous shooting spot for Tamil movies.
Udumalpet lies between the famous temple town of Palani (35 km)and Pollachi (28 km)in the National Highway No.209. Udumalpet is also connected by a metre gauge railway line.

moreparts needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 399 designs submitted by 94 freelance designers.
Partfiniti Inc.
Partfiniti is an online database for technical parts. A wiki like application that allows any participant to add or update any part number they see fit.
Imagine that the handle on your fridge breaks and you want to find a replacement part. Partfiniti will evolve into a source for you to search for the part and find all the information you need to find the right part and then find a vendor for the part.
Partfiniti will simply be a platform for participants(users) to find part information and to contribute what they know about parts as well.
The purpose of the company is to: "Help build a better world by helping people, help each other to fid the right parts". The right parts can be defined as the right size, right form, right fit, right color, right specification, right material, right price, and right delivery. We aim to be the source for finding the RIGHT part.
A possible tag line will be "Find the RIGHT Part". However, at this point we are not looking to include the tag line in the Logo design.
We are targeting people looking for information on technical parts. Some examples would be design engineers, technical parts sales people, purchasing agents, hobbyists. We think these people will be typically male from the ages of 25-55 however all ages and sexes are a definite possibility.
This contest will be run in two stages: Stage one-Black and White, Stage two-add some color.
The initial designs will need to be in BLACK ONLY. The logo design should have the following characteristics:
The Logo is for the word Partfiniti, the "Inc." should be small and the logo should work without it.
Should have a "technical" and "design" feel and look.
Simple, no fine details or graphics.
Preferably One color, two max.
Visible and Recognizable from 10 feet when 1"tall.
Should not be to serious or severe and should have a slight "fun" feel to it.
We like the look and feel of a blue print look but we are not committed to this.
If your design is rated with 4 Stars we would then ask that you submit a version in color. The color is up to you but we have preference for blue. Please use pantone colors only.
The contest winner will be required to supply the logo in Adobe Illustrator .ai file as well as .eps. One version with a black background and one with a clear background. The pantone color numbers will also be required.

I think every archaeological project must have a code for "other unidentified type" sherds, as well as box where said type of sherds all end up. This box is then waved in front of visiting archaeologists in the hope that they will go "Oh yes, that's obviously a ……"
In a virtual version of box-waving, here are a few of our unidentified sherds. Any comments would be greatly appreciated, particularly from people working west of us.
C-2585/122 : The interior is the same color as the exterior undercolor. The vessel has straight, relatively vertical walls. It could be either a bowl or a relatively large copa – there isn't enough to get a good rim diameter reading. The paste is medium-fine and light buff colored.
C-1028/122: The interior is dark red. The rim diameter measures 14cm and the vessel wall is outflaring and slightly recurve. This is probably a bowl, though a large copa is also a possibility. It has a very fine orangeish paste.
C-2033/122: The design in the picture is on the inside of the support and underside of the bowl base. All the other portions of the sherd are solid shiny brown. While this is clearly a tripod bowl, it is not a molcajete (grater bowl), and the support is hollow with a rattle. The paste is medium-coarse and light buff colored.
C-1504/122: This probably a large, simple hemispherical bowl. The rim diameter measures 27cm, and the exterior is plain. The interior design is negative. The paste is medium-coarse and medium brown colored.

There is growing acknowledgement of the importance of biodiversity in the wider countryside. Butterfly populations are an excellent way to monitor the health of an environment.
UK butterfly monitoring currently focuses on nature reserves and butterfly-rich places. This has led to a lack of monitoring in vast areas of the wider countryside. These areas include farmland, plantation woodland, uplands and urban green spaces
The UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS), run by Butterfly Conservation and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), has developed a new Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey (WCBS) method to gauge the changing abundance of widespread species in the general countryside.
70% of the UK's land is in agricultural use. It is essential that butterflies in these areas are monitored to gauge the health of our countryside.
Over 600 dedicated volunteers surveyed more than 760 squares as part of the nationwide WCBS launch in 2009. The WCBS benefits from an excellent partnership with the British Trust for Ornithology Breeding Bird Survey recorders.
What's involved?
The method involves making a minimum of two visits to a randomly selected square near between May and August to count butterflies along two 1km survey lines running roughly north-south through the square. The survey will be co-ordinated centrally by Butterfly Conservation but with the help of a WCBS Champion in each Branch. The aim for 2017 is to resurvey all squares covered last year and more, so if you would like to take part, please do get in touch.
Visit the UKBMS website for more details and copies of instructions and recording forms.

The 2014 Chevy Silverado has kind of been a poorly kept secret. We even ran into one at the National Farm Machinery Show in February, and there have been sneak peeks elsewhere too. But now the truck is official and we thought you could use a little information before you headed out to take a look at it for yourself.
This gallery will offer a look at the truck, some key features - including three new engines - and other information that can help your buying decision. Take a moment to peruse the images and read the information we've provided, from a stellar new interior to some interesting convenience features on the exterior, this new truck means business. It'll be interesting to see its heavy duty brother in the future.
They're saying this truck is new from hood to hitch, but the base price carries over from 2013 - a good deal for buyers. In addition, buyers of the 2014 Silverado 1500s will get a standard scheduled maintenance program for two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Already crew cab models with the 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8 engine are showing up at dealerships. Suggested retail price for that crew cab model is $32,710, plus a $995 destination charge.
And now comes the regular cab model and a new double cab Silverado which replaced the extended cab. Buyers will have another engine choice too with the all-new EcoTec 4.3L V-6 with more torque and the highest towing rating of any standard V-6 pickup.
Later this year, there's an all-new 6.2L EcoTec3 V-8 - yes they still make V-8's in this class and it's a competitive business. And Chevy is touting the High Country version of the Silverado aimed at the growing market for high-end pickups.
Chevy is incorporating more high strength steel into its frames and cabs. This offers a two-fold benefit - first more structural rigidity for better towing, hauling and off-road use. But that high-strength steel also allows the company to reduce overall weight, boosting fuel efficiency.
So read through the gallery where we'll provide more in-depth information on high-tech features, the aerodynamic design and all three engine choices that'll be coming your way.

Composition: Special polyester monofilament.
Very playable polyester string. Good durability. Excellent choice for hybrid mix.
I strung these strings on my Wilson Fed Signature once at 56 and then again at 59. The racket was not the same. It had a dead feel. I then made a hybrid with the Micro Sheep in the mains. This had better feel but still did not produce the spin that I wanted and still had no real feel to the racket.
There's some strings that just don't feel right at any tension. This one was a breeze to string and for me, felt good from the first hit. I'm always looking for playability and not affordability but that certainly is a plus with this string. I read so many good reviews, it didn't hurt to try at this price and I'm glad I did! i was looking for a low powered poly to hybrid with one of my favorites, the babolat origin.
I use this string for several years now and have not had any elblow or wrist discomfort. It adds spin to the ball as the string is not round and seems to have little edges on it. I play every day and restring about every 60 days I get good power also with control string tension 50 Overall happy with the string
Great Quality, lower price & On time shipping
Highly cost effective string, particularly as a cross string in poly hybrid. Good value and performance. Go to cross string for poly hybrids.
I used in the crosses with big hitter blue in the mains and it was a fantastic and cheap combo
I love this string. I usually string my racquets with poly mains and Gosen Proform on my cross strings, and o love the durability and the feel. It is a very good string to string and for the money you can't beat it. I string a lot of the guys I play tennis with during the week of all levels, and they love it. I have used this string for at least ten years, and I have nothing bad to say about it.
This is an excellent polyester string. I don't play with it but I have several people that I string for that play with it and love it. It is very durable without feeling stiff as a board. I usually put it in the main strings and string the crosses with a multi-filament and it plays great.
Gosen makes a quality made in Japan single core synthetic gut comparable to prince synthetic gut and other well known synthetic guts. I use it as a cross string in a poly/synthetic gut hybrid. The white version is a bit stiffer than the natural colored one. So if you prefer a softer string, get the natural color. I get a bit more spin on my serve using the 17 vs the 16 gauge.
I bought this reel solely for the purpose of using it as a cross string in a hybrid with a poly. They work great and I wouldn't hesitate to use them with any polys. I also use them for my customers who don't prefer a specific synthetic gut in their racquet. They are cheap, and very efficient as well! Great buy.
I really like this string. I has more pop than the several strings i have tried. I am a 60 yr old, 3.0 player that has had pretty major shoulder repairs including full rotator cuff tear. I am using a Head Youtek radical OS racquet strung at 55 lbs with Gosen comfort 17 string. I like the response, control and power without the shoulder strain i experienced with other racquet and sting combo's i have tried. Try it you'll like it!
I use a full bed and have found it offers excellent tension stability and retention over the full life of the string. Good grip on ball. Firmer feel than many sunthetic guts, but still very comfortable. Doesn't peel or fray. My favourite syngut. Excellent product.
I love polys, but my 57 yo arm and shoulder can feel the shock that the monofilaments transmit. Enter Polylon Comfort, simple, combined smaller monofilaments dampen the harshness while maintaining enough stiffness to resist movement and still apply spin to the ball. Also reasonably priced. My "gold standard" for string for a few years now. Used full-bed on Dunlop Aerogel 100s, 90" @ 42-45 lb, and Dunlop AG Biomemetric 200 lites, 95" @ 45-53 lb.
This is one of the best polygon string. I've used this string for many years. It is inexpensive,lasts for long-time. It is an excellent string for players who break their string often. It is a little tricky to string it yourself
If you're a string breaker, this string is for you. I string my own racquet. This string saves me time and money. I'm a 4.0 and hit flat. I find this string suits me well.

Evan Rhinesmith was close to breaking the Wabash record in the 200 individual medley in the preliminary round of the 2011 North Coast Athletic Conference Swimming and Diving Championships. Thursday evening he easily topped the 12-year-old mark in the finals.
Rhinesmith (left) touched the wall in 1:55.17, easily faster than the old mark of 1:55.77 set by RJ Morgan at the 1999 Liberal Arts Invitational. The Wabash senior finished 10th in the final standings.
Rhinesmith was joined by Eric Vaughn, Adam Current, and Charles Williams in the Little Giants' first All-Conference performance of the meet. The Wabash quartet finished third in the 400-yard medley relay with a time of 3:29.19 to help the team to sixth place in the overall standings after one day of competition.
Sophomore diver Jake Schild added to the Wabash team score by finishing seventh in men's three-meter diving with a total score of 346.65. Jake Anderson added an 11th-place finish with a score of 249.45.
David Phillips placed 11th in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:43.41. Adam Barnes was 22nd (4:57.94). Williams scored for the Little Giants with a 14th-place finish in the 50 free, touching the wall in 21.91. Jake Pahud finished 19th (22.15), while David Birrer was 21st (22.24), and Alex Beck finished 23rd (22.61).
Denison leads the team standings with 516 points. Kenyon is second (370), followed by Wittenberg (176), Allegheny (170), Wooster (168) and Wabash (152). Oberlin (149), Ohio Wesleyan (64) and Hiram (64) round out the team scoring.
The three-day meet continues Friday at the CT Branin Natatorium
