Chiton (costume)
A chiton (Greek: χιτών, khitōn) was a form of clothing and is a sewn garment, unlike the peplos, a draped garment held on the shoulders by a fibula.
There are two forms of chiton, the Doric chiton and the later Ionic chiton. The "Doric" style was simpler and had no "sleeves", being simply pinned, sewn, or buttoned at the shoulder. The "Ionic" style was made of a much wider piece of fabric, and was pinned, sewn, or buttoned all the way from the neck to the wrists and the excess fabric gathered by the zone or girdled at the waist. By the late Archaic, Ionic chitons had become more common, especially for men.
History and usage[edit]
The Doric chiton is a single rectangle of woolen or linen fabric. It can be worn plain or with an overfold called an apotygma which is more common to women. It can be draped and fastened at the shoulder by pins (fibulae) or sewing, or by buttons.[1] The Ionic chiton could also be made from linen or wool and was draped without the fold and held in place from neck to wrist by several small pins. A large belt called a zoster could be worn over the chiton, usually under the breast ("high-girdled") or around the waist ("low-girdled") or a narrower "zone" or girdle could be used. The chiton's length was greater than the height of the wearer, so excessive fabric was pulled above the belt, like a blouse.
A double-girdled style also existed. The chiton was often worn in combination with the heavier himation over it, which had the role of a cloak. When used alone (without a himation), the chiton was called a monochiton. A long chiton which reached the heels was called a chiton poderes, while a longer one which dragged the ground was called a chiton syrtos or an elkekhitōnes (Greek: ἐλκεχιτώνες) (literally, a chiton that drags the ground).[2] A woman's chiton would always be worn at ankle length. Men wore the long chiton during the Archaic period, but later wore it at knee length, except for certain occupations such as priests and charioteers, and also the elderly.
A sleeved form was worn by priests and actors. The colour or pattern would often indicate status, but varied over time. The chiton was the outfit of Aphrodite because it was considered very feminine, although men also wore it. Dionysus is often depicted wearing it. The chiton was also worn by the Romans after the third century BC. However, they referred to it as a tunica. An example of the chiton can be seen, worn by the caryatids in the porch of the Athens Erechtheum. A charioteer's chiton can be see on the Charioteer of Delphi (474 BC).[3]

Healthy Choices
How we plant and maintain our landscapes has a direct effect on the health of the people living, working or playing in these landscapes.
Green areas that produce high amounts of either pollen or mold spores will consistently make people sick, and landscapes that are clean and low in pollen and spores will make people feel better.
Allergies are now the most common illness in the United States, affecting some 40 percent of the entire American population. Asthma rates are growing so fast that they are now typically being called "epidemic." Childhood asthma in the year 2005 has become the No. 1 chronic childhood illness in America. Sudden death from asthma, once considered very rare in the United States, is now increasingly common. Clearly all of us should be doing whatever we can to remedy this unhealthy situation.
Landscape contractors and consultants, groundskeepers, golf course superintendents and managers of hospitals, retirement communities, university campuses, amusement parks, city and county parks and many professionals involved with the planning or maintenance of large, commercial landscapes are in a position to make a difference. Increasingly, planned communities, hospitals, schools and universities are working toward making their own landscapes healthy places to be.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, whenever people are asked if they would prefer that their landscapes be as pollen-free as possible, their answers are a resounding "Yes!" There is no downside to low-allergy landscaping, other than that it initially takes a little more effort on the part of the landscape professionals in charge. Maintenance of a low-allergy landscape is no harder than that of a more typical high-allergy landscape.
As the public grows ever more sophisticated about allergy-free landscapes, green industry professionals will be expected to be ahead of the curve. You'll need to show that you are knowledgeable on the subject, and that in the future, instead of planting and maintaining high-allergy problem areas, you will want to be able to explain that you are, instead, doing everything possible to produce healthy urban landscapes.
We have two main concerns when trying to create healthy landscape areas where the air is fresh and good to breathe. First, our aim is to produce as little allergenic pollen as possible. Second, we want landscapes that generate very few allergenic mold spores. Both goals are completely do-able, if you know what you're doing.
With the addition of OPALS, (Ogren Plant-Allergy Scale), professionals now have the needed tools for allergy-free plantings of low-pollen and pollen-free landscapes. This numerical scale ranks all landscape plant materials on a simple 1 to 10 allergy basis. Plants that produce zero pollen, normally all-female cultivars, usually rank the best: No. 1. Trees that have abundant highly allergenic pollen, especially ones with long bloom periods, are usually ranked the worst: nine to ten. There are many trees and shrubs, however, that fall somewhere in between. Using a list of more than 125 factors, OPALS numerically ranks each species, and then further ranks individual cultivars. There are often dramatic allergy differences between two species of the same genus, and individual cultivars of the same species may also vary greatly.
The OPALS list was developed with two key questions:
What do plants that are well known to cause allergy have in common?
What do plants that are well known not to cause allergies have in common? Based on the above scale, it is now possible to state, for example, that Acer rubrum (Red Sunset Maple) is a No. 1 and causes no allergies. Most pine trees will rank at No. 4 and will cause some allergies. Most Platanus species (Sycamore) rank eight, and cause quite a bit of allergies. A large male ("fruitless") mulberry tree, ranked one of the worst at ten, and will produce a super abundance of pollen and trigger severe allergic reactions to many living near it.
In my work with landscape designers, I've found that it's common for their goal to be creating attractive, interesting, diverse, easy-to-maintain landscapes where the average OPALS number is four or less. When higher-numbered (more allergenic) plants are used, they are normally used sparingly and are planted downwind and as far away from most human traffic as possible. One of the first commercial low-pollen landscapes using OPALS was the one designed for the new, "all-green construction" American Lung Association Regional Headquarters, in Richmond, Va., in 1999. Since the year 2000 and the publication of my book, Allergy-free Gardening (Ten Speed Press), low pollen and pollen-free landscapes have been used for many individuals' houses, housing developments, schools, parks, universities and hospitals.
Because some stray pollen will always blow in from other areas, we can never create landscapes that will always be 100 percent free of all pollen. However, this is not our aim. Our aim is allergen reduction. Allergies and asthma are most often triggered by over-exposure to heavy amounts of pollen. Pollen exposure is always greatest closest to the pollen source. Thus, a heavy pollinating male tree in bloom will shower allergenic pollen on everyone and everything directly beneath it's own drip line. The further away one is from the source, the less the exposure.
Healthy plants may equal a clean-air landscape. To create landscapes with low mold spore counts, the most important thing we can do is to make intelligent choices when we plant. Plants that fail to thrive often become magnets for insect pests. These sucking insects (whitefly, scale, mealybug and aphids) all secrete large amounts of "honeydew." These copious insect secretions are sticky and very nutrient rich, and dry airborne mold spores land on them where they stick, germinate, reproduce and quickly explode in number.
Landscape trees and shrubs that look dirty are all too often under attack by insects and are covered with mold spores. All types of mold spores are highly allergenic and no landscape high in mold spores can be considered a healthy environment for the people working or living close by. When we choose landscape plants to use, we should always select ones that are very well adapted to our particular microclimate and soils.
Landscape plants that are under-watered will become stressed and will become targets for insect pests. Plants that are over-watered will become stressed and will also become targets for insect pests. Plants that are lacking in proper fertility may also eventually become stressed, and thus targets for insect pests. The more we limit insect pests, the fewer mold spores there will be in our landscapes.
Automatic irrigation systems that are not regularly attended to, especially ones set to over-water, will not only stress the landscape plants, but they will encourage mold growth in the soil and in the mulches used.
- Mulch
Organic mulches that decompose quickly often harbor mold spores, especially when they are over-watered. Increasingly we are recommending the use of non-organic mulches, especially smooth river rock or river gravel.
- Air space
Mold growth is encouraged by cool, damp, stale air conditions. Too often, young shrubs are planted with little consideration for their ultimate mature size. These plants may eventually overlap each other, smothering out the air space between them. Likewise, trees are often planted too close to each other, and many foundation plants are first set far too close to the buildings themselves. The more open and airy a landscape is, the better the air circulation and the less likely it will be to harbor mold spores.
To have healthy landscapes, that won't trigger allergies and asthma, use all of your best horticultural practices to keep them thriving and as insect- and mold-free as possible. Also, stop planting highly allergenic types of trees, shrubs and groundcovers. In particular, try to avoid using any male clonal selections, often sold as "seedless," "podless" or "fruitless," because all of these will produce large amounts of the worst kind of pollen. Whenever possible use female selections, as these will never produce any pollen. Formal-double flowered plants are also very useful as they normally produce little or no viable pollen.

Twinking your level 19 Warlock: Part 6. Heirloom items
I know, I haven't made any new additions in ages. But then I haven't had chance to level to 80, let alone either play my baby lock, or review my guides for changes to spells and talents.
Until I get the chance, you folk will just have to work a few things out for yourselves.
BUT, if you have any feedback on the current accuracy of the guides, I would love to hear from you.
The one pressing addition to the guide from my perspective is the "new" Heirloom items.
Quite simply, they are account bound (transferable between your toons on an account) items that scale to the level of the current "owner".
So great for powerleveled toons. No need to replace gear every level, you just wear it and it will grow with you. Even to the point that it will change it's type (ie. Leather to Mail, or Mail to Plate) if relevant.
Now I could go through and analysis each piece based on the gear that I brought to your attention in the earlier section of the guide, or I could take the easy way out and point you at a great resource.
Easy is beat for me right now, and better for you so you can see how the gear fits at all levels.
The one thing to note…
This gear takes enchants as if it is level 1 gear. This doesn't scale. So you may find that other gear + enchants is superior than heirloom items.
Quick Armory is the owner of this Heirloom Items Scale page, so all credit to them!
Happy Twinking!

Yvette has some great comments, and I wanted to make them more visible and to be able to answer them with some Images. Can't do that in Comments:
Each of us needs to look at how WE want to handle each situation. I've shared my experience with Find-A-Grave.I'm planning on using the citation notes for personal use only, to contain a copy of the information I used. For example, if I create a citation of a Find a Grave memorial, I'll copy the text of the page into the citation note. That way I can always check back what information was there when I used the source. I do not like the Page Archive function as that still references resources on the original site that may not exist anymore when I need to recheck the information.
How I work with the Burial FactIn that blog post, I Copy the memorial information into the Find-A-Grave Fact that I created. I have that FACT marked as Private, but I can always "Included Private Facts" in a report that I have. I found the the Citation Note is too hidden.
Here is an example of what I would put into a Citation Note:
Source Information:
Ancestry.com. Web: Kansas, Find A Grave Index, 1854-2011 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2012.
Original data: Find A Grave. Find A Grave. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi: accessed 23 February 2012.
All data in this third-party database was obtained from Find a Grave. Ancestry.com does not support or make corrections or changes to the original database.
I can refer to this information, when creating my Citation for this specific example.
The Reference Note for this Citation is:
Russ Worthington, "Find-A-Grave", database, Find A Grave (www.findagrave.com) Helen Adele Strode Entwistle (1894-1985 ) - Find A Grave Memorial# 50314294.
The Citation Notes are accessed in the Sources Workspace, and access to that, when working with the Citation is right there.
The details from Find-A-Grave, in the Find-A-Grave Fact Note is:
Helen Adele Strode Entwisle
Birth: Jun. 24, 1894
Death: Apr. 14, 1985
Family links:

Birmingham-Lafayette Cemetery
West Chester
Chester County
Pennsylvania, USA
Created by: Russ Worthington
Record added: Mar 27, 2010
Find A Grave Memorial# 50314294
I can control when and IF I want these notes printed, but I have easy access to this information on the People Workspace, Person View. The above information in to the right of the FACTs for this individual to make sure I have recorded what I wanted to.
So, the question becomes WHO is this information recorded on. Everyone, or one person.My real transcriptions are all in Dutch so they would not be very useful.
A translation of an actual transcription:
13 december 1653
Herman Stoffels and his wife Hilleken ten Borninckhave, Jan Carstkens Pleckpoel as husband and guardian of Martina Stoffels, Herman Stoffels and Jan Carstkens also on behalf of Hendersken Stoffels, their sister and sister-in-law, Berndt Eckerfelt and Derck Claessen as chosen and accepted guardians of Maria Janssen, widow of the late Berndt Stoffels and their children Grietken and Johan Stoffels, as heirs of the late Mechtelt Lammerts, widows of Stoffer Stoffelsen who declared for themselves, their wards
and heirs, that they have sold for a well paid sum of money for ever and irrevocably, to Margaretha Schmidts, widow of the late Herman Nachtegall and her heirs, their house as it is situated between the aforementioned buyer, Johan Corts and the late Jan an Basten's houses with all its old rights etc.
(BTW, this Hendersken Stoffels was the mistress of the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. Her brother Harmen, the first person in this document, is an ancestor of mine)
For me, I create a Citation for where this information came FROM, and put Citations on each person's name that is listed and any FACTS that I choose to record for the individual peopls.
For example:
By doing this, this becomes data entries in his TimeLine. His wife is listed, she will have a Citation for her Name and other facts from this newspaper article about her.
Normally, in this example, I would probably use Preferred Facts ONLY, but would include the Person Notes.
I use the Facts for features like TimeLine data, and more for my own information. When sharing, I would normally just use Preferred Facts.
You are right about copying the transcription 19 times.Since I'm working on a population reconstruction of the entire region, all 19 people mentioned in this transcription are in my database. I do not want to copy the transcription 19 times but I do want to be able to access it from all 19 people. And I don't have just the one document, I've got 50 years worth of transcribed records of this town and 50 years more in digital photographs still waiting to be transcribed.
A thought for you, as in my Civil War case, is to create an Unrelated Person for the Transcriptions, then use Facts and Citations for the people involved.
The 2nd American Civil War Blog Challenge - and FTM2012 TimelinesI created a Unrelated person, who is the Military Unit for my Great Grandfather.
I have Property Facts, as my early Maryland Ancestors "named" their properties. Some of those properties were willed to the next generation or another family member.In reality, the text will be in an old form of the Dutch language that is not easy to read for a modern reader even if it's transcribed. Unlike English, the Dutch language has changed a lot since the 17th century. It's not quite as bad as reading Anglo-Saxon for a current English speaker but it's worse than Shakespeare.
In fact notes, I typically want to enter readable text that is fit to go into a report for general reading.
Based on your own advice elsewhere on this blog, I'm first thinking about a strategy on what I want my data to look like, so I haven't got a sale event yet. Maybe a 'property' event would be more appropriate, listing the fact that somebody owned property in a specific place at a specific moment in time. In this example, ideally I would like to create a property event that is shared between the children and grandchildren that are mentioned as heirs of the mother, because they are the joint owners in this sale.
Shared events only apply to two people, currently in Family Tree Maker. Their normal use is in the area of Marriages. In my case. the Property was owned by various member of the family, but not between Two People. Usually one person owned it, willed it to another or others, each then would have the Property Fact, and usually with Dates. So, that date ownership can been seen, if the dates were known and recorded.
Besides the Input and Output of what is recorded, I take into account where will I need it. Such as the Citation Notes. I need them with working with my Citation. Fact Notes, are nice to be available when working with Fact.
The Person Notes are the "stories".
Thank you for your comments.

Howdy, It has been a while since I posted an update about this Shadowrun 4th Ed campaign.
It is run by PeterDracos who is in the U.S. Air Force, and currently in the Republic of Korea. He is dedicated enough to the game that it starts at 6AM on Sunday where he is! (5PM Sat, (US) Eastern timezone/ 4PM Central). The game is "located" in Lagos (a Feral City) circa 2072AD.
Right now most of the "slots" are filled with 6 players. We have a Mage that's

I have an assignment that I'm working on, I have completed every thing but one part, the toString of the Graph Class. I am having a hard time creating my toString.
The professor wants us to use both the vertexIterator and the outEdges methods in the Graph class to represent our toString. Here is the code I wrote in the Graph class.
import java.util.*; public class Graph { private List<Edge> outEdge; private List<Vertex> verticies; private List<Edge> edges; private int numberEdges; private int numberVertices; public Graph() { numberVertices = 0; numberEdges = 0; verticies = new ArrayList<Vertex>(); edges = new ArrayList<Edge>(); } public void addVertex(Vertex v) { numberVertices++; verticies.add(v); outEdge = v.getAdjacentList(); } public void addEdge(Edge e) { numberEdges++; edges.add(e); outEdge.add(e); } public int numVertices() { return numberVertices; } public int numEdges() { return numberEdges; } public Iterator outEdges(Vertex v) { //outEdge = v.getAdjacentList(); return v.outEdges(); } public Iterator vertexIterator() { return verticies.iterator(); } public String toString() { StringBuffer tmp = new StringBuffer(); for(Iterator vIterator = vertexIterator(); vIterator.hasNext(); ) Vertex v = (Vertex) vIterator.next(); tmp.append("outgoing edges from vertex: "); for (Iterator it = v.outEdges(v); it.hasNext(); ) { Edge s = (Edge)it.next(); tmp.append(s); } return tmp.toString(); } }
This is the error message I'm getting
This is literally the final part of my project. I don't know how to get the Vertex section correct. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Graph.java:68: not a statement
Vertex v = (Vertex) vIterator.next();
Graph.java:68: ';' expected
Vertex v = (Vertex) vIterator.next();
2 errors
If you need the rest of my code, I can provide it.

Africana Studies Sequence
"If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated."
—Carter G. Woodson, 1875 -1950
The Africana Studies Sequence (originally Black Studies Sequence) inherited the legacy of the Black Studies Movement of the late nineteen sixties and early nineteen seventies that gave birth to the Department of Africana and Puerto Rican/Latino Studies at Hunter College.
Our sequence was strongly influenced by the work and spirit of the late Professor John Henrik Clarke, the first professor to be brought in by the students who had a dominant role in the department's development. Professor Clarke was, at the time, the pre-eminent elder figure of Pan-Africanist scholarship-activism. His intellectual commitment in the early development of the department placed us close to the center of the Black Studies Movement.
This movement has been dynamic as it has grown conceptually, that is, theoretically, and in breadth. "Black Studies" has become "African" or "Africana Studies," as people of African descent throughout the Diaspora have identified with its intellectual and political energy.
The growth of our sequence has reflected these tendencies. As we assess our own development, certain themes become identifiable as characteristics of our work.
Africana Studies as a "discipline" seeks to study, interpret, explain, and articulate the cultural, historical, political, economic, and spiritual experience of people of African descent throughout the world.
- Africana Studies is "Pan-Africanist" in approach and focus, seeking to emphasize the connections between African peoples and their cultures throughout the world, while acknowledging the differences that have evolved because of historical realities, geographical location, specific forms of colonial oppression, and cultural interaction.
- The African-centered perspective of the sequence implies an approach to reality which begins with the African and African-Diasporic experience. Its presupposition is that the meaning of that experience cannot be determined without reference to Africa as the source, its point of origin. As such, our sequence is lodged firmly within the African-Centered Movement; a liberatory and intellectual movement born out of the struggle, conflict, and victory of the decolonization process.
- Using this approach as our frame of reference, people of African descent become actively involved as agents of change, rather than passive objects of study. We therefore encourage our students and each other to participate in the process of thinking about and helping to determine the meaning of the African experience. This has connected us to the process of redefinition and re-conceptualization that places Africana Studies in the vanguard of intellectual development in this nation. Our faculty has been at the forefront of the movement of African people to recapture their traditional languages and to develop innovative theoretical constructs.
- Furthermore, our sequence brings together scholars trained in the traditional disciplines of anthropology, history, political science, and literature, and who share a perspective which unites us in the ability to see beyond the limiting confines which artificially separate one area of human experience from another. We have chosen to be in Africana Studies because of the vision that we share. Africana Studies provides us with the space to pursue this unique vision.

The Africa component of the Africana Sequence of the department is the foundation of African Studies in general. As Africa is the original home of all Africans and the setting for the conception, establishment and consolidation of her philosophical, political, economic, religious, social and cultural institutions and systems over the centuries, the study of Africa provides the necessary grounding for understanding the Africana world. The department offers courses in African history, civilization, literature, political science, religion and on women in Africa. The combined humanities and social science range of the courses helps to give students a broad liberal education. The varied theoretical and pedagogical frameworks which they entail introduce students to varied modes of appreciation and tools of critical analysis. This is especially important because the study and understanding of Africa, in the light of existing modes of interpretation and representation which largely misrepresent Africa, requires the conscious search for and formulation of indigenously grounded - Africacentric - modes of understanding and frameworks of analysis which enables students to understand these societies in their own terms and not as flawed and undeveloped examples of other societies. The courses are generally adequate as introductory and specialized offerings. However, it is necessary to consider offering new courses on new themes and on specific countries. This can be done, for example, by choosing some countries in different regions to illustrate specific as well as general African experiences. The existing and future courses of the Africa section are designed to deepen understanding of the African experience in all its complexity, similarity and variety at the source in Africa. This thereby prepares students to understand commonalities and variety of the African experience within Africa and in the Diaspora.
African-Caribbean Studies is an integral part of the Africana Sequence in the Department of Africana and Puerto Rican/Latino Studies. Courses offered are in history, politics, literature, anthropology and economics. The African-Caribbean courses are included in the Africana sequence because we consider the Caribbean, particularly the English speaking, French speaking, and Dutch speaking areas, represents one sector of the African Diaspora. Caribbean societies share a common history with African peoples in the United States especially up to emancipation. The post-emancipation period experience also demonstrates a high degree of similarity, but at the same time, it provides an interesting contrast in terms of the effects of colonialism and racism on two African groups in the Americas. Caribbean Studies at Hunter also focuses on the interaction, conflicts and cooperation between Caribbean migrants and their American counterparts in the United States. There are several courses in the Africana Sequence which offer a bridge between African-Americans and Africa, the African-Caribbean and/or people of the Spanish speaking Caribbean.
The African American component of the Africana Sequence seeks to give students the basis with which to understand and analyze the African American experience through the study of contributions made to and challenges faced in American society. It is comprised of courses representing the academic disciplines of anthropology, history, literature, political science and sociology with a time range from the African heritage to the present. A course on African-American music is available through cross-listing with the Music Department. There are also several courses in the Africana Sequence that provide a bridge between African-Americans, Africa and other members of the African Diaspora. Through our 290 and 390 experimental designations, we have been able to offer a number of courses that are not part of the established curriculum. This affords us the opportunity to offer courses that represent new concerns and interests in the African-American experience. It also allows us to conduct trial runs of courses that we feel should become part of the permanent curriculum.

Revision as of 04:54, 7 June 2012
Offline Updates using systemd and PackageKit
Make updating of system components more reliable by doing it in an minimal, controlled environment.
- Name: Richard Hughes Lennart Poettering
- Email: email@example.com, email@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 18
- Last updated: 2012-06-06
- Percentage of completion: 50%
The necessary systemd infrastructure has landed in rawhide with the systemd 183 release. The PackageKit and GNOME pieces are still being developed.
Detailed Description
By "offline" OS updates we mean package installations and updates that are run with the system booted into a special system update mode, in order to avoid problems related to conflicts of libraries and services that are currently running with those on disk.
The system update mode is implemented by booting into a special target. The target installs the downloaded updates and then reboots back into the regular default target. For more details, see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates
Installing updates will still be the users choice - if system updates are available, we will offer 'Restart and install updates' in addition to a plain 'Restart' in the menus.
Note that this feature does not prevent you from using yum to install updates whenever you want to. We also differentiate updates of 'OS components' (which we want to do in this offline fashion) from application updates and installations, which should still be possible from the UI without restarting the system.
Also note that this feature is about implementing offline updates for GNOME. Other spins are not affected, although they could choose to use the same systemd and PackageKit infrastructure, and provide a similar experience.
Benefit to Fedora
Replacing libraries and files while the OS is running can cause problems ranging from application crashes to inconsistent system states where processes are using different versions of a library at the same time. By installing system updates 'outside' the normal system operation, we avoid these problems.
Secondary benefits of the work done for this feature include that we are downloading all updates before we notify the user about available updates, and thus avoid unpleasant wait times.
- Update systemd to version >= 183 (done in rawhide)
- Complete the PackageKit support for offline updates (mostly done upstream)
- Update gnome-packagekit to support offline updates
- Update gnome-shell to offer 'Install updates and restart' when updates are available ([#677394])
How To Test
- Testcase 1: Available system updates
- Use repositories which have system updates available
- Verify that you are not notified about available updates before they have been downloaded
- The 'Software Updates' UI should not offer to directly install system updates
- The user status menu should have a 'Restart and install updates' item
- Testcase 2: Installing system updates
- In the situation of testcase 1, choose 'Restart and install updates'
- Verify that the system shuts down, then restarts in the system update mode
- Plymouth should show a spinner or progress bar and inform you that software updates are installed
- When this completes, the system should reboot again, bringing you to the login screen
- Log in
- Verify that the 'Restart and install updates' menuitem is gone
- Rebooting the system now will not enter the system update mode, but just reboot as usual
- Testcase 3: Update problem
- Same situation as testcase 1, but with a package set that will not successfully update (one way to achieve this would be to manually set up a repository with an inconsistent set of updates)
- Repeat the same steps as in testcase 2
- Verify that the system update fails, but you get rebooted again and end up at the login screen again
- Verify that you get notified about the failed update attempt
- Verify that the failed system update is not tried again if you reboot again
- Testcase 4: Commandline use
- Same situation as testcase 1
- Open a terminal and run yum update
- Verify that this works as before
- Testcase 5: Application updates
- Use repositories which have application updates available
- Open 'Software Updates'
- Verify that the available updates are listed, and that you can install them without rebooting
User Experience
The desired user experience for System updates is described in https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/SoftwareUpdates
none outside of systemd, packagekit and GNOME components
Contingency Plan
If offline updates don't work in time for F18, we can go back to installing all updates while the system is running.
- http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates
- http://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/blobs/master/contrib/systemd-updates/README.txt
- http://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/SoftwareUpdates
Release Notes
- Fedora 18 introduces offline system updates, which means that updates of system components are installed in a special environment outside the normal system operation.

Transfer news: Steve Bruce hoping to keep Jake Livermore at Hull City
Steve Bruce will be exploring the option of making Jake Livermore's stay at Hull City permanent in January.
Last Updated: 27/10/13 1:03pm
The highly-rated midfielder agreed a season-long loan switch from Tottenham Hotspur over the summer - on the same day that Tom Huddlestone swapped life at White Hart Lane for that at the KC Stadium.
Livermore has shone alongside Huddlestone in Hull's engine room, with the Tigers having made an impressive start to life back among the Premier League elite.
Bruce is now planning on discussing an extended stay for Livermore, with it hoped that competition for places at Spurs will play into his hands.
He acknowledges that the 23-year-old England international will not come cheap, but appreciates the need to take a few financial risks in order to consolidate a top-flight standing and give players of promise the stage their talent deserves.
Bruce said in the Sunday Mirror: "I would love to keep Jake if I could, so we'll have to see if there is a deal to be done.
"But I'm sure Daniel Levy, the Tottenham chairman, will want the Humber Bridge and the receipts that go with it for him.
"I haven't asked yet, but we shall do our utmost to see if we can make it permanent. At the moment, we are just happy to have him.
"The big thing for Jake is that he is playing games regularly. He has played eight games in a row in the Premier League for us this season, and that's something he has never done before. It is great for him, and he looks like he's enjoying it.
"When I eventually left Manchester United it was because I didn't want to be a bit-part player.
"We all want to play at the top but, when the big games come around and you are not involved, if you've got anything about you as a footballer you just want to get out and play somewhere."

Dear Friends,
I will be participating in the Chicago Marathon on October 13th, 2019 as part of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) team for cures. This fundraising mission for the MMRF is my way of saying thank you for the research that has been done to date in creating drugs which has saved my dad's life!
Multiple myeloma is the second most common form of blood cancer and, sadly, has one of the lowest five-year relative survival rates of all cancers. But while there is no cure, great progress is being made. Today, my dad is in complete remission and because of the drugs available he is living a normal life.
In fact, thanks to the important work of the MMRF, the world's leading private funder of myeloma research, the FDA has approved TEN new treatments, including FOUR in just the past 18 months – a track record that's unparalleled in the world of oncology. These drugs have almost tripled the lifespan of myeloma patients. And now the MMRF is funding over 20 additional treatments in various stages of development, giving hope to tens of thousands of patients and their families, my own included.
The Goal: Raise $1750 for the MMRF!
The MMRF is one of the most highly regarded cancer foundations in the world and the MMRF is in the top 1% of all charities worldwide, having earned Charity Navigator's 4-star rating for the past eleven years in a row.
Please support my participation in the Chicago Marathon benefiting the MMRF. I have made a commitment to raise at least $1750, and I need your help to get there. Please contribute whatever you can. It all adds up!
The work ahead of me? Race 26.2 miles and raise at least $1750 for the MMRF. Training for this event is a big challenge, but nothing compared to the challenges faced by patients with multiple myeloma.
Please take this opportunity to give back and support this game-changing cancer organization.

After a year of changes and overhauls, state education officials are downplaying worries that teachers are retiring in larger numbers.
After a year of changes and overhauls, state education officials are downplaying worries that teachers are retiring in larger numbers.
The concerns started earlier this month when the Teachers Retirement System of Louisiana reported that retirements had increased by 25 percent last year.
That report led to speculation that laws passed in 2012 are driving teachers out of schools en masse. The laws make it more difficult for teachers to earn tenure, judge their performance on complex new evaluations based on student test scores, and revamp the curriculum they teach, among other changes.
But, in a news conference Monday, state Superintendent John White said those numbers don't tell the whole story.
"There is not in any cause for concern regarding overall attrition of teachers," White said. "The idea that the reforms are pushing out top teachers is simply untrue."
White said that, though retirements might be up in one year, they still only make up about 1 percent of teachers statewide.
He also pointed out that retirements are only one of many ways a teacher can leave the school system, so, even if retirements are up, overall teacher loss may stay steady.
Overall, White said the state lost 12 percent of its teachers in the 2011-12 school year, the same as the year before and one percentage point more than the year prior to that.
The new laws at issue passed in the spring of 2012; data for the current year, 2012-13, isn't available yet.
There's some evidence that teachers in Terrebonne Parish are retiring in larger numbers than average, but school officials say it's hard to pick out a solid trend.
In Terrebonne Parish, 77 teachers retired last year, according to Personnel Supervisor Debra Yarbrough. That's the highest number in the past four years, and 27 teachers more than the 50 who retired last year.
School Superintendent Philip Martin said it's unwise to read too much into those numbers, however.
"The number of people retiring from year to year fluctuates, sometimes by a large amount," he said. "It's too early to say this is a trend that is worrying us."
Martin said the retirements haven't been a major problem for his district because they make up a small percentage of almost 1,800 teachers in the parish.
"Putting the right teacher in the right place is always something that we have to work hard at," Martin said. "But retirements have not caused us any problems we don't normally see."
In Lafourche Parish, the trend is even less noticeable. In the 2011-12 school year, 40 teachers retired; 15 more than 2009-10 but only four more than 2009-10.
"I haven't seen a noticeable spike in the number of retirements," said Louis Voiron, Lafourche's personnel supervisor. "We may have seen a few people retiring a little early but not in any large numbers."
Voiron said it's probably too early to tell if the changes will cause teachers to leave the profession in significant numbers.
"This is our first year of implementation," Voiron said. "We'll have a better idea at the end of this semester of whether or not these changes are going to lead to more retirements."

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Tuesday it's making steady progress on health care sign-ups, but the White House needs something close to a miracle to meet its goal of enrolling 6 million people by the end of this month.
It could happen with a sustained surge in consumer demand and a foolproof website. But they're not seeing it yet, and time is running out.
The Department of Health and Human Services said more than 940,000 people signed up during February for private coverage under President Barack Obama's health care law, bringing total sign-ups to 4.2 million.
With open enrollment ending March 31, that means to meet the goal, another 1.8 million people would have to sign up during the month, an average of about 60,000 a day.
That's way above the daily averages for January and February, which have ranged between 33,000 and 34,000. The math seems to be going against the administration.
If the target isn't met, the immediate fallout will be political. Republicans will say it proves their point that Obama's signature project never had the public's support. Backers of the law will have to work harder to smooth out some of its problems and convince Americans to take a second look.
Administration officials expect the pace to pick up as procrastinators are forced to act. There are no plans to extend the March 31 deadline, they emphasize. The big question is whether that will be enough to make up for the technical troubles that paralyzed HealthCare.gov much of last fall and the continuing challenges for several state-sponsored websites.
"Given what we know about past enrollment patterns for health care, we expect that even more (people) will sign up as we approach the March 31 deadline," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Julie Bataille, communications director for the health care rollout, said she expects millions more to sign up — but she wouldn't commit to a number by March 31.
The goal of 6 million sign-ups is itself a lower bar than was originally set. The Congressional Budget Office scaled back its original target of 7 million because of the federal website's computer problems. HealthCare.gov serves 36 states, while 14 states and Washington, D.C., are running their own sites.
The 943,000 enrolled in February fell short of the target of 1.27 million that HHS had initially set for the month.
And the cumulative total of 4.2 million sign-ups is just three-fourths of the 5.65 million that HHS originally projected would sign up by the end of February. Those estimates are from a Sept. 5, 2013 departmental memo.
The numbers released Tuesday still don't say how many of those signing up were previously uninsured, which is the ultimate test of Obama's health care overhaul.
And they don't say how many consumers have sealed the deal by paying their premiums.
Health care industry consultant Robert Laszewski said that undercuts his confidence in the numbers.
"They are still reporting numbers that are inflated," he said.
Separately, a Gallup survey released Monday found that the share of Americans without health insurance has been going down so far this year, albeit modestly.
Enrolling for health care under Obama's law is still nowhere near as simple as shopping online. Bataille said consumers make an average of six visits to HealthCare.gov, spending 20 to 30 minutes per visit.
Among the highlights of Tuesday's federal report:
— Young adults seemed to be showing a little more interest in signing up. Of those signing up in February, 27 percent were between the ages of 18-34. Their premiums are needed to help defray the cost of caring for older generations. Independent analysts have said the mix should be 40 percent young adults.
But people 55-64 are the leading age group among those signing up, cumulatively accounting for 30 percent of total enrollment.
—More than four out of five who have enrolled thus far were eligible for tax credits to help offset the cost of premiums, and in some cases also to reduce their deductibles and copayments.
—Sixty-three percent of those signing up picked a mid-range silver plan.
—Fifty-five percent of those signing up are women, and 45 percent are men. "Enrollment among women remains particularly strong," Sebelius said.
An AP analysis of state-by-state enrollment numbers showed that 13 states are running ahead of their enrollment targets. Virginia, with a new Democratic governor who supports the health care law, was the latest addition to that list. Six of the top-performing states are led by Republican governors: Florida, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
Some states that have run into trouble have reduced their enrollment goals. But based on the original HHS enrollment targets, the five at the bottom are Massachusetts, Washington, D.C, Oregon, New Mexico, and Nevada.
Steady health care sign-ups may miss goal
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Tuesday it's making steady progress on health care sign-ups, but the White House needs something close to a miracle to meet its goal of enrolling 6 million people by the end of this month.

Tonlẽ Sap is the largest lake in Southeast Asia, fed by or, depending on the season, feeding the mighty Mekong River. The water level fluctuates from a depth of about 10 m in the wet season to 2 m in the dry and the lake nourishes a huge chunk of the region, providing a livelihood to thousands-upon-thousands. In an effort to lure visitors and their money away from Angkor Wat for awhile, the Cambodian government promotes trips to Tonlẽ Sap, particularly to visit the floating villages. These floating villages are just what the name implies, complete with schools, stores and churches. The tours are described as relaxing boat rides through a unique and picturesque waterscape. But when traveling it is often the height of naivety to expect all to be as it's portrayed. And therein lays the fun.
After a sweltering day-and-a-half visiting the mind-blowing Angkor Wat complex, my friend and I decided to visit Tonlẽ Sap and Chong Kneas, the closest of all the floating villages to Siem Reap. We asked our friendly and reliable tuk-tuk driver (#2205) if he could take us to the lake and he assured us this was no problem. Soon we were rattling through dense traffic and endless road construction. Several times we had to get out and walk while the driver took the tuk-tuk off-road for brief stretches to get around obstacles. I inhaled more dust than I had over the previous 36 hours, which is really saying something. I dearly regretted not buying a cheap mask at the pharmacy as many people, locals and visitors alike, do. My throat was going to be sore for days.
Following a quick stop at the tuk-tuk driver's house so he could drop off some fruit for his family, we were out of Siem Reap and into…something very different. Poverty on a large scale is always disarming, and the shacks and shanties on the road to the lake were the first indication that economics might be about to intrude on our scenic boat tour. We got to the boat launch about 4 pm and bought a ticket for a "government" boat (private boats are apparently available, but it's not clear how to get them) with an extra "sunset" fee (i.e., a charge for staying on the water long enough to watch the sun go down). Thus began a very strange journey.
The entire floating village moves with the seasonal change in water level and, as the water was still quite low in the early spring, Chong Kneas was about as far out in the lake as it ever gets. Consequently, we had a long trip to the village, past all manner of boats, most patched up 10,000 times over with material of every description. Along the narrow channel leading into the lake dilapidated houseboats were moored everywhere possible and occasionally someone would be swimming in the filthy water. Had I dove in for a quick dip my immune system would've thrown up its hands in defeat and called it a day. Everything was totally fascinating and exotic and disturbing, as only 3rd world poverty can be. Immediately our gregarious guide started talking about how poor the people of Chong Kneas were and how they needed money for many things. I sensed a pitch coming on.
The village itself was an incredible array of dozens of ramshackle floating structures broken into Vietnamese, Muslim, and Cambodian sections. It looked more like a floating ghetto, perhaps, but it was difficult to gauge how comfortable the people were in their situation.
We sailed right over to the school where the kids were just getting out of class and into their own boats to go home. Inside we were introduced to the teacher and got our picture taken giving him the books and the pencils. Similar pictures of previous tourists lined the walls. We were told we could take photographs of some of the children. I asked one girl if she wanted her picture taken and she laughed and shook her head. I left her alone.
O ur guide then told us that the teacher could use some money to buy supplies for the classroom and extra food for the kids. I gave $10.00 to the teacher, who struck me as looking a little sheepish about the whole thing. On the way out I saw the French family getting out of their boat with a bag of notebooks and pencils.
Next we headed through the village and boarded a restaurant boat complete with an on-board crocodile farm and some voracious fish in a wooden tank. We decided to pass on the dinner. After a tour of the boat and a little biology/geography lesson, we were sold a can of soda and then sat down at a table with a well-spoken and very effeminate fellow, a self-proclaimed ladyboy, who told us he loved Pelẽ, Brazilian football and WWF Smackdown. He and our guide seemed to be friends, although our guide went out of his way to appear annoyed with him.
After awhile we climbed up some stairs and checked out the view from the top of the boat. The floating village was spread out before us, the sun slowly sinking into Tonlẽ Sap. We decided to head out early in order to get some photos from the water before the sun set completely. There was a slight delay as we helped out a boat with a dead battery. The family in the boat was clearly unhappy with the way their trip had been going. They were making no bones about it. It was hard to have much sympathy for them.
We sailed out past people fishing and washing from the porches of their houseboats in the muddy-brown water. There were a few bonfires burning off on the shore. As we made our way back through the channel our guide said the Cambodian government had plans to make the entire area a world-class shipping port, essentially eliminating all that we saw around us. Lord knows how this would work. For one thing, they'd have to do considerable work to stabilize and dredge the lake as its area swings wildly from 3,000 to 10,000 sq. km and it can be very shallow, depending on the season and rainfall. Yet there was evidence of construction on the banks nearby.
By the time we returned to shore it was pitch dark. Our guide mentioned that he needed money for school and was very disappointed when I said I didn't have much left. I scrounged up $5 for him and $2 for the driver. I considered telling the guide he should've pitched less for everyone else if he wanted something for himself. How much of this was a scam I have no idea. Other tours are advertised, but they seem pretty cheesy and are mostly billed as "dinner tours." Maybe the schoolteachers and the boat guides are in cahoots and splitting the proceeds. Maybe the government is taking the money and using it for its own purposes. Or--who knows?--maybe it's legit. But it's hard to imagine there's not some skimming somewhere. All told, this was probably a $50.00 ride by the time it was over.
In reality, the village is spectacular and unusual, even if disconcerting. And I was happy that I had a look at Chong Kneas, despite the lingering feeling of being ripped-off. But I thought back to the previous day in Angkor Wat, when a young boy tried to sell me a bootleg guide to the temples. At first he said the book was one dollar. "One dollar?" I asked. I could afford that. "No, three dollars," he said. I hesitated. "Five dollars," he continued. This was a very unusual business tactic. "What happened to one dollar?" I asked. "It can't be less than five," he replied. He was probably working under the instructions of whoever supplied the books. "I can't afford five dollars," I said. "I don't have any money." This was technically true as I was traveling my way deeper into debt with every step, but the kid was having none of it. His eyes hardened and he glared up at me. "You are from America. You have come to Cambodia. You have money. I will wait until you are ready to leave the temple and then you will buy the book." I laughed but he did not. So I walked around for awhile and on my way out, sure enough, there was the kid with his book. I handed him the $5 and he grumbled his thanks and walked off. In travel, as in life, sometimes you have to let yourself be ripped-off a little. It's only fair.

The Ontario Dental Association values the relationship it has with its members, all dentists, dental students, employees, dental-related organizations and institutions it deals with, and members of the public, and is committed to the protection of their personal information.
Accordingly, the ODA, its employees, agents and volunteers are required to adhere to this Privacy Policy, which is based on the privacy principles set out in the federal statute, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Ontario statute, the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (PHIPA). "Personal Information," as used in this Privacy Policy is defined below.
In some cases, the ODA may set policies about releasing to the public information that is not considered Personal Information, in which case the ODA, its employees and volunteers will be bound by such policies. The ODA may set policies around releasing Personal Information about members or other individuals, but only with their consent and in accordance with the requirements of the applicable legislation, i.e., PIPEDA and/or PHIPA.
- "Collect" means to gather, acquire, receive or obtain personal information by any means from any source, and "collection" has a corresponding meaning.
- "Use" means to handle or deal with personal information that is in the custody or control of the ODA, and includes disclosing the information to an agent acting on behalf of the ODA.
- "Disclose" means to release or make available personal information that is in the custody or control of the ODA, to another individual who is not an agent of the ODA, and "disclosure" has a corresponding meaning.
- "Personal Information" means information about a specific, identifiable individual, but does not include the name, title or business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization. Personal information includes "personal health information."
- "Personal Health Information" means identifying information about an individual in oral or recorded form, if the information relates to:
- the physical or mental health of the individual, including information that consists of the health history of the individual's family;
- the provision of health care to the individual, including the identification of a person as a provider of health care to the individual;
- a plan of service within the meaning of the Long-Term Care Act, 1994;
- payments or eligibility for health care in respect of the individual;
- the donation of a body part or bodily substance of the individual, or is derived from the testing or examination of such body part or substance
- the individual's health or insurance number;
- the identity of an individual's substitute decision maker; and
- identifying information contained in an individual's health record or dental record.
1. Accountability
The ODA is responsible for all Personal Information under its control and has designated an individual or individuals who are accountable for the ODA's compliance with the following principles.
The ODA has designated a Chief Privacy Officer who is accountable for the overall compliance of the ODA with the privacy principles in this Policy, including day-to-day oversight. At the same time, because many individuals within the ODA have responsibility for the day-to-day collection and processing of Personal Information, all departments will comply with this Privacy Policy as it may apply to their work and to certain individuals, and may be delegated to act on behalf of the Chief Privacy Officer.
The ODA is responsible for Personal Information in its possession or custody, including information that has been transferred to a third party for processing. It will use contractual or other means to provide a comparable level of protection for information being processed by a third party.
2. Identifying Purpose
The ODA will identify and document the purposes for which it collects, uses or discloses Personal Information at or before the time of collection.
The ODA will make a reasonable effort to specify the identified purposes, orally or in writing, to the individual from whom the Personal Information is collected either at the time of collection or after collection but before use. The ODA will state the identified purposes in such manner that an individual can reasonably understand how the information will be used or disclosed.
The ODA will identify any other purposes which may arise for the collection, use or disclosure of Personal Information at or before the time the Personal Information is collected. These purposes will be detailed and communicated to individuals in the ODA's Privacy Statement(s) and/or Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
If a new purpose arises in respect of Personal Information already collected, the ODA will identify the new purpose prior to the use or disclosure of the Personal Information.
(i) Members and Prospective Members
The ODA collects, uses and discloses Personal Information concerning its members and all dentists in Ontario for the following purposes:
- a) Providing products, services and information of interest to its members and dentists in Ontario;
- b) Providing the Ontario Dentist Journal and other information or media containing information of interest to all dentists in Ontario;
- c) Exchanging information with dental-related organizations and institutions in order to facilitate the provision of products, services and information of interest to its member dentists in Ontario;
- d) Any other purposes as communicated in the ODA Privacy Statement for ODA Members and Prospective Members, as may be amended from time to time.
(ii) Employees
The ODA collects and uses Personal Information concerning its employees to provide them certain benefits and with information which is relevant to their work or terms of employment or other employment related activities. The ODA does not disclose Personal Information of employees for non-employment related activities.
(iii) Other Individuals
The ODA may collect and use Personal Information from members of the public who contact the ODA requesting information on oral health or to participate in programs such as the ODA Mediation Program.
The ODA may also collect and use personal information from the staff persons employed by ODA member dentists for the purpose of providing them with services available to staff of ODA members, such as extended health care (EHC) benefits, and the employee assistance program.
3. Consent
The ODA will collect, use, or disclose Personal Information only with the knowledge and consent of the individual, except in emergencies and on other occasions permitted or required by law, or where appropriate.
The way in which the ODA seeks consent, including whether it is express (i.e., explicit verbal, written, or other authorization) or implied (i.e. can reasonably be determined through the actions or inaction of the individual), may vary depending upon the sensitivity of the information and the reasonable expectations of the individual. An individual can withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. The ODA will inform individuals of any implications of withdrawing consent.
Typically, the ODA will seek consent for the use or disclosure of information at the time of collection. In certain circumstances, such as a proposed use of information for new purposes not previously identified, consent may be sought after the information has been collected but before use.
The ODA will not require an individual, as a condition of the supply of his or her services, to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of Personal Information beyond that required to fulfill legitimate purposes.
In certain circumstances, as permitted or required by law, the ODA may collect, use or disclose Personal Information without the knowledge or consent of the individual. These circumstances include Personal Information:
- that for legal, medical, or security reasons make it impossible or impractical to seek consent
- which is subject to solicitor-client privilege;
- which is publicly available;
- where collection or use is clearly in the interests of the individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way;
- which is required to investigate a breach of an agreement or a contravention of a law;
- required to act in an emergency that threatens the life, health or security of an individual;
- for debt collection; or to comply with a subpoena, warrant or court order;
- for the detection and prevention of fraud or for law enforcement where seeking the consent of the individual might defeat the purpose of collecting the information; or
- when the individual is a minor, seriously ill, or mentally incapacitated.
4. Limiting Collection
The ODA will limit the amount and type of Personal Information collected to that which is necessary for identified purposes and will only collect Personal Information by fair and lawful means.
The ODA will collect information in a straightforward and honest fashion. The ODA will not coerce, threaten, or mislead individuals into providing personal information, nor collect information surreptitiously (without individual consent or knowledge), nor gather from other people, such as family members, work colleagues, or acquaintances without the knowledge and consent of the individual, except in the most compelling circumstances, or for purposes such as law enforcement.
To the maximum extent possible, the ODA will identify personal information sources to ensure maximum fairness and openness in information collection practices.
5. Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention
The ODA will not use or disclose Personal Information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law. The ODA will retain Personal Information only as long as necessary to fulfil the identified purposes.
The ODA will retain Personal Information which has been used to make a decision about an individual long enough to allow the individual access to the information after the decision has been made and, in the event of an access request or a challenge, long enough to exhaust any recourse an individual may have under the law.
Where Personal Information is no longer required to fulfill the identified purposes, the ODA will destroy, erase, or make it anonymous. The ODA will communicate its practices regarding use, disclosure, and retention, to the business functions responsible for retaining personal information. The ODA will inform individuals of its retention periods and what it intends to do with the information after the maximum retention periods are reached.
6. Accuracy
The ODA will use its best efforts to ensure that Personal Information is as accurate, complete and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.
The ODA will use its best efforts to ensure that Personal Information that is used on an ongoing basis, including information that is disclosed to others, and information that is used to make a decision about an individual is accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
7. Security
The ODA will protect Personal Information with safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
The ODA will protect Personal Information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification regardless of the format in which the information is held. The ODA will make its employees aware of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of Personal Information, and will exercise care in the disposal or destruction of Personal Information to prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access to the information.
Depending on the format of the Personal Information, security measures may include physical precautions such as locking file cabinets and restricting access to cabinets, offices and files, organizational measures such as security clearances and limiting access on a need-to-know basis and technological measures including passwords and encryption.
8. Openness
The ODA will make specific information about its policies and practices regarding the management of Personal Information readily available, except to the extent that it is confidential commercial information.
Specifically, the ODA will publicize information about:
- how to obtain details of the Personal Information held on file for identified individuals;
- the type of Personal Information held by the ODA, including a general account of its use;
- general information concerning its Privacy Policy and related policies and procedures;
- what Personal Information is made available to related companies; and
- how to make requests or complaints to the ODA's Chief Privacy Officer.
9. Individual Access
Upon receipt of a written request, the ODA will inform an individual of the existence, use and disclosure of his or her Personal Information and will give the individual access to that Personal Information, which may be challenged and corrected, depending on the circumstances.
The ODA will respond to all individual written requests within a reasonable time, usually about ten (10) business days, depending upon the complexity of the request and the information, and will assist any individual who informs the ODA that he or she needs assistance in preparing a request. The ODA may require an individual to provide additional information which will assist it in providing an account of the existence, use, and disclosure of Personal Information.
The ODA will usually provide the requested information without charge. However, the ODA reserves the right to impose a charge, depending on the extent of the request and retrieval of information required. The ODA will inform the individual of the approximate amount of any charge to respond to the request and will not retrieve the information until payment is made. Requested information will be provided in a form that is generally understandable. Where possible, the ODA will indicate the source of the information.
If an individual successfully demonstrates the inaccuracy or incompleteness of Personal Information, the ODA will amend the information as required. If a challenge is not resolved to the satisfaction of the individual, the ODA will record the substance of the unresolved challenge. The ODA will take reasonable steps to advise third parties having access to the information of any amendments, or unresolved challenges, as the case may be.
In certain situations, the ODA may refuse a request or restrict access to all the Personal Information it holds about an individual. Exceptions to the access requirement will be limited and specific, as permitted or required by law. The reasons for denying or restricting access will be provided to the individual upon request, where permitted by law, and may include:
- information containing references to other individuals;
- confidential commercial information;
- information which by its nature must remain confidential;
- information collected in the course of investigating a breach of an
- agreement;
- information collected in the course of a dispute resolution process;
- information that is subject to solicitor-client privilege; or
- any portion of information which for, one or more of these reasons may not be readily severable from the information as a whole.
10. Challenging Compliance
Any individual may address a written challenge concerning the ODA's compliance with its Privacy Policy to the ODA's Chief Privacy Officer.
The ODA will investigate all written complaints. Should it find that a complaint is justified, the ODA will take all appropriate steps to correct the information and amend the policy or practice as required, and will notify the individual about the outcome.
*Privacy Policy approved at June 13th , 2007 Board of Directors meeting.
1 – The definitions in this Privacy Policy are adopted from those found in PHIPA and PIPEDA.

Telluride is rooted in western mining history with millions of dollars' worth of gold and silver extracted from the surrounding peaks, Telluride has evolved from a rugged, strike it rich boomtown to a modern day, world class destination resort. The resort started in 1972 and founders designed and built a ski area to fit the unique history of the town and highlighting the natural beauty of the area. In the mid 90's the Town of Mountain Village was formed and linked to the Historic town via a free gondola to make this a pedestrian-oriented community. ;Wine Director, Andrew Shaffner oversees, staff trainings, and manages the wine programs across all outlets, continuing our commitment to superb culinary offerings.
We are a destination resort with the closest stoplight miles and miles away. The original founders and current ownership understand that the Telluride experience has to be exceptional in order to meet the needs of our passionate guests. We have focused on the highest quality services and amenities to compliment Telluride's natural assets. Telluride Ski Resort has been rated as the number 1 ski resort in North America by Conde Nast three years in a row because of the awe-inspiring natural setting of Telluride, some of the most impressive ski terrain on the continent, combined with the most passionate and hardworking people in the business.
We live and work in a place of extreme beauty and enjoy a lifestyle most only dream of. We understand that we are stewards of an amazing place and we take this responsibility very seriously. We are seeking like-minded individuals who share our passion for this resort, these mountains and for providing a great experience for our team and our guests. We value independent and entrepreneurial spirited people and we pride ourselves on shedding the corporate-driven business models seen in most companies today. We believe in hiring the best people, listening to our team and empowering them to make decisions that align with our values. If this sounds like the environment and the lifestyle for you we would love to develop a relationship with you and explore the possibility of you becoming a team member.
We are looking to connect and establish a relationship with you for both immediate and long term opportunities here at the resort. Please fill out the online application so we can start on that dream.

Telluride, Colorado is our home. It's an incredible town where everything is within walking distance and nearly the entire town is ski-in/ski-out. The San Juan mountains where we call home are big and jagged, offering weekends packed with skiing, hiking, biking, rafting, fly fishing, or any other activity. Many locals start as tourists amazed by this place. And years later, in their dream job surrounded by good friends, they still talk of how moving here was the best decision of their life.
Telluride Ski Resort has 146 single-occupancy studio apartments set aside for our employees. Big Billie's Apartments are located in the town of Mountain Village at the base of Sunshine Express (Lift 10) and Chondola (Lift 1), providing ski-in/ski-out access to the mountain as well as free transportation to Telluride from 7am to midnight daily.
