You forgot youngins hucking into a 3 foot base of unconsoladated snow. Hate seeing kids risk their entire season or life on the first day of the year. At least it's better than a WROD. Are you splitting WRC or out of White Pass? |

After thursday that place must have been a tracked out mess. I left at 2:30 and it was done for then..... Im sure there were some nice freshies once they opened shooting star about 3pm , and some leftovers the next morning but it was already wet enough that any rain Thursday night couldn't have done any good.
Thursday morning was decent riding IMO. Well worth it to me. Sunshine and deep snow, even it was wet and in spots thin. Best day of the (in bounds) season at meadows. And..... Those kids were launching off every drop into 3ft of fluff, no shit. |

We WILL have to follow through on this eventually haha. Unfortunately with my current contract I'm chained to the office M-F. I really miss chasing pow on weekdays! Planning to come down the weekend before Christmas and ride Meadows Sat and/or Sun. There happens to be a Google local offer going on now for a $43 lift ticket, so that's pretty sweet.

A lot of you might be wondering that why all of a sudden all the rapidshare links on the site are dead. I've been getting emails about this during the last 3-4 hours and a lot of users have posted comments about dead rapidshare links in various topics.
Unfortunately a couple of hours ago rapidshare deleted all my accounts + removed all my files from their servers. So all the rapidshare links on the site + every backup i had of the games posted here are now dead.
The current Problems
This actually is quite a big problem for me and everyone who uses this site because of various reasons.
1. Out of a total of 550+ games posted on this site, 400+ only had a rapidshare mirror and backups of these games were stored in my rapidshare accounts. As my accounts are now dead, these 400+ games dont have any download links at all.
2. Every game on this site had a backup on rapidshare. Now that these backups are gone re-uploading games is not going to be a 15-20 minutes process anymore.
3. Because all game backups are now gone, 90% of the games currently posted are dead and they will have to be re-uploaded from scratch. i.e. get it from original sources (private trackers), unpack, verify, repack and upload.
4. The biggest problem which i see right now is the amount of time it'll take me to fix everything. Everyone here knows how slowly the current process of adding mirrors was going. Now to top that as pretty much everything is now dead, i cant even imagine the time it'll take me to get everything back up on 1-2 hosts even.
5. If you were downloading a game that does not have a working alternate mirror to rapidshare, you will not be able to resume that download. If there is a working mirror of that game, please download any remaining parts from that mirror. As every rapidshare only game has to be re-uploaded from scratch, the new links (whenever they are added) will not be compatible with the old ones.
Things that'll happen in the coming days
1. The game request section is going to be closed indefinitely and all game requests will be put on a hold. Until this issue is fixed, no request will be filled.
2. Ps3pirate is going to be shut down. I know that the site was already dead but i was hoping to fix that starting next week. Seeing that all my time will be spent on fixing this site, i cant afford to spend time + money on other projects.
3. I will not be available for most of the time to answer people's questions. Although i will try to find some time for this but it just wont be possible. So i strongly encourage members to help each other out and try to solve each other's problems. This way i will be able to spend more time fixing the site than answer everyone's question.
- New games are still going to be uploaded on all the hosts which i'm using right now, so that isn't really a problem.
- Right now my main priority will be to fix 'popular' games first and then go for lesser known games as most people would want that.
- If anyone knows of a website which offers a good file backup solution with lots of disc space then please let me know. I'll have to find a new website to keep backups as rapidshare isn't reliable enough.
- Please bookmark xboxpirate's twitter page as future updates regarding this will issue be posted there.

Best way to capture traffic from tweet pictures
I tweet a lot from several twitter accounts, and have a lot of traffic from my tweet pictures. However, I'd like to capture that traffic on my blog. I've tried a few plug in's that allowed me to use my blog has a host for the images I tweet out, but I've yet to find one that works very well.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas / suggestions on how I could send the traffic from all of the pictures I tweet out to my blog?
Also, I don't want this to clog up the home page. At one time I used a plug in that allowed me to do something like this, and I created a separate category (http://noahsdad.com/twitter) and excluded that category from my home page. There were a few issues though, the formatting didn't work well for people viewing the pictures on twitter. And the plug in conflicted with other plug ins I was running. I haven't tried it in a while, so maybe it works better now.
I hoping someone out there was some suggestions.

News and notes on the Crew and Major League Soccer
The Columbus Dispatch - April 21, 2012 11:22 PM
This week was the most difficult it has been to project a starting lineup for the Crew since I started covering the club. Granted, that has not been an extended period of time, but head coach Robert Warzycha trotted out so many different combinations during the week leading up to today's 2-2 draw with Houston that guessing the first unit was like throwing darts at a board.
Want proof? It looked as if Cole Grossman could earn the start during the week, and instead he did not get off the bench.
Defenders Josh Williams and Nemanja Vukovic made their first career starts, while Tony Tchani rejoined the lineup for the first time since the season-opening match against Colorado. Emilio Renteria and Danny O'Rourke also made their returns to the lineup for different reasons. Tchani said he learned he would be starting Friday, while Williams got the news two days earlier.
"(Warzycha) told me Wednesday that I would probably be starting," Williams said. "I started playing with the first team Thursday so I had a feeling then that my name would be called."
Williams began the week suffering from a virus that caused him to miss practice entirely Tuesday and limited him the following day. Tchani, meanwhile, has played with the reserves while trying to figure out how to get back with the first unit.
"They didn't really talk to me (about being benched)," he said. "I just had to work hard to get my way back and do whatever they told me to do.
"I started on Thursday but was switched for (Ethan) Finlay in the second half so I wasn't sure. It was on Friday that when he put up the lineup, he put 'Tony' on there. Then I got excited."
Williams' start was made possible by the return of a healthy O'Rourke, who patrolled the defensive midfield and helped direct the flow of the game.
"If he's healthy, he's obviously a good player," Warzycha said of O'Rourke. "He knows the position very well and he did the job he was supposed to do."
Look for more on O'Rourke this week.
As for Renteria, who was benched last week after going scoreless in the first four games, he finished with three shots but none on goal and was substituted out for Aaron Schoenfeld in the 77th minute. He generated two shots on goal and recorded his first career assist.
"Emilio was busy in the first half," Warzycha said. "I think he could've done a little more in the first half. Maybe he was taking one or two too many touches so the cross was never really put in the place that he wanted. In the second half we tried to change a little bit and went with Schoenfeld."
As he evaluated the forward position, Warzycha said, "I think we did a good job in the second half of confusing them a little bit. Schoenfeld came in and we were a little busier in front so that's why we scored two goals. They're doing a good job, but I would like them to do an even better job and score more goals."
Higher possession – Despite giving up the late goal that resulted in the draw, several players felt the Crew's offensive attack looked better than it has in recent games because they were able to win possession higher up the field.
"We were winning the ball in a lot higher places today," said Ethan Finlay, who relieved Renteria and generated a few scoring chances. "We weren't winning it in our final third or even in our half. We were winning it in their half in the middle of the field. I think we transitioned well today, and we kept the ball well when we got into their final third. We were very patient with it."
Added Milovan Mirosevic: "We made a big step in some ways today because we understand that when we have the ball, we are a different team. When the other team has the ball, we look like a very bad team. As soon as we as a team understand that, we will be playing games like today. Of course I'm disappointed with the result, but I can't be disappointed by the way we played today. That was the way we were planning to play during the week. Even though I am a little disappointed, inside I feel like we made a little step forward."
After being relegated to more of a defensive role in the past few weeks, Mirosevic was able to spend more time attacking although he did not record a shot on goal. He also handled five of the Crew's corner kicks.
"I'm happy with that (playing more offense) for sure," he said. "The idea was for me to get close to the forwards. I knew that (Adam) Moffat was going to stay with me so I tried to keep it close to Emilio and Olman so when we would start play our three midfielders would have more space to move the ball. Of course, I'm happier there than in a defensive position but I think I can play better. Today I didn't have one clear chance inside the area so I think that I can improve that."
Williams vs. Bruin – Although Will Bruin got Houston on the board in the 59th minute with his second goal of the year, Williams felt he matched up well against the Dynamo forward.
"He's got great instincts," Williams said. "He's a bruiser. He and (Brian) Ching work very well together up there. He always waits for little opportunities. You've always got to be prepared for him."
Bruin assisted on Ching's game-tying goal in the 81st minute but Williams marked him for much of the match and said he hoped he left a mark.
"I haven't played against him before so I figured he didn't know how I played so I tried to use that to my advantage and give him little nicks here and there, bump him and try to be physical with him," Williams said. "I know he's a physical player but I tend to think of myself as a physical back."
Twitter: @AdamJardy
The past few weeks have been difficult ones for a few Crew players for a common reason – an inability to help.
After opening the season 2-1-3, a decisive loss at Chicago started an eight-game stretch that saw the Crew go 2-4-2 while falling out of the playoff picture. Saturday's 2-0 home win against Montreal was the first sign of the Crew snapping out of its funk and came as several players returned to the lineup. Defenders Josh Williams (calf) and Chad Marshall (hamstring) and midfielder Bernardo Anor (knee) were back in the line, with Anor making his first start since July 14, 2012. Defensive midfielder Danny O'Rourke made his first start after missing five games in the starting lineup due to injury and coaches decisions.
The 18th hole at Muirfield Village Golf Club will be at least 30 yards longer when the Presidents Cup is played at the course in October.
Jack Nicklaus visited the course Monday and decided to not put off moving the championship tee back that far -- or farther -- before his course hosts the international match-play event for the first time.
Club members received the news by email today.
Amedeo Della Valle isn't with his Ohio State teammates this summer as they juggle early-morning conditioning workouts, classes and open-gym games on campus.
The sophomore guard returned home a couple of weeks ago to train and play for Italy in the 20-and-under FIBA European Championship. The tournament begins July 9 and ends July 21 in Tallinn, Estonia, across the Baltic Sea from Sweden and Finland.
Clippers open homestand against Pawtucket tonight
There's a thin strip of mostly-paved amazingness that runs from Cincinnati to Columbus and on to Cleveland.
And it's not Interstate 71.
It's the Ohio to Erie Trail, and while technically it's a multi-use path and walkers, runners, roller bladers and even cross-country skiers (but only in the winter) are welcome, we all know it's really a bike trail.
And it is 329.7 miles long.

the true account of the 1938 War of the worlds radio broadcast
Community Activity
Add a Comment30 October 1938. A day of panic & pandemonium or entertainment & fun? According to CBS radio - Columbia Broadcasting System - there was a Martian invasion occurring. It was a play put on by actors from the Mercury Theatre on CBS radio. This tale is informative, educational, fun to read, comical, and entertaining, since the readers know that this is fiction. *Delightful escape from reality for young readers, especially those that enjoy sci-fi stories and fascinating "pranks."
You don't expect something called, "Aliens Are Coming" to be factual. You especially don't expect it to tell the truth when you flip through the pages and see large multi-tentacle-laden outer space beasties terrorizing the natural landscape. But then, it helps to know your history. Seeing the 1938 radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds" for what it truly was (perfect picture book fare), McCarthy gives us, thrills, chills, and some wonderful little factoids in the back of what I might well call my favorite non-fiction picture book of 2006.

Add a SummaryIt's the 1930s! Good old 1930s. Open the book and here's a cheery announcer telling kids that back in the thirties the primary source of entertainment and information was the radio. It then explains that some people "were easily fooled by a radio play that sounded like an actual news bulletin". Turn the page, and everything is black and white. We're looking at a typical American street scene. "It was October, 30, 1938, the day before Halloween". We next see a nice black and white scene of a family gathered in their living room. The noise coming out of the radio forms into colorful dancing sequences. Suddenly an announcer comes on and starts talking about a flaming meteorite that has fallen in New Jersey. As the listeners grow worried, the scene shifts to a field where a group of people stand around as a flying saucer slowly begins to open up. It's aliens! And they've come to conquer us all! They ransack the farmlands. They invade the cities. They land all over the country. "Was this the end of the world?" Certainly a lot of people listening thought so. The pictures are back to black and white and we're seeing clogged highways and jammed phone lines, and police investigating perfectly calm fields in the country. It wasn't the end of the world. It was Orson Welles and his troupe of actors at the Mercury Theatre performing a realistic version of "War of the Worlds". Interesting factual information rounds off the book with the true story and fun info about subsequent readings of the story (with similar results).

Bon Jovi's Daughter Arrested for Heroin: Stephanie Rose Bongiovi Reportedly Overdosed
- Posted on Nov 14th 2012 12:13PM by Cameron Matthews
Dave M. Benett, Getty Images
The Kirkland, N.Y. Police Department found a "small amount" of heroin alongside the singer's daughter. Other drug paraphernalia and marijuana was also found at the scene.
According to The Associated Press, Bongiovi was taken to an undisclosed hospital, where she remains. She has been ordered to appear in court at a later date.
Stephanie was ticketed with criminal possession of a controlled substance and marijuana (both misdemeanors). 21-year-old Ian Grant, of Red Bank, N.J., was also arrested when police responded to the scene.
Bongiovi has since been released. Her father is still scheduled to perform at a benefit concert for Hamilton in Times Square on Dec. 5.
If you're thinking that the apple doesn't fall fair from the tree, you'd be mistaken. In an interview with People, the singer claims that he didn't do drugs as a performer.
"I did the drug thing very young and wised up very young too, because I was into drugs a little too much," he says. "I've never been a drug guy. I've always felt I didn't have the mental stability to handle drugs."
Hopefully his daughter can get the help she needs sooner rather than later.

He wouldn't even respond to me, like I wasn't even there, and one of his band members said to me" Why don't you go the hell away and leave us alone". I did just that and never turned back. When I got back home and told my kids about what happened, that was the end to their liking him.

Denver Broncos Press ReleaseDenver Broncos
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos have selected offensive guard Chris Kuper as their 2012 Ed Block Courage Award winner, it was announced.
Each year, the Ed Block Courage Awards honors players who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. Kuper, who suffered a fractured/dislocated ankle in Week 17 last year and fractured his forearm during training camp this season, was named an offensive captain by his teammates in 2012 and was selected as a second alternate for the Pro Bowl after playing seven games (5 starts) for the Broncos in the regular season.
The seventh-year offensive lineman from the University of North Dakota has spent the last five seasons as Denver's starting right guard, allowing just 12 sack sin 78 career starts (67 at right guard, 11 at left guard).
The Ed Block Courage Award is named in honor of Ed Block, the longtime head athletic trainer of the Baltimore Colts, who was a pioneer in his profession and a respected humanitarian. Recipients are selected by their teammates for team effort, as well as individual performance.

I'm posting this here because I'm frustrated and am about to make a huge rant about GW2. Inevitably adding to the ridiculous amounts of negativity which currently surround it. So, sorry for that.
First off; watch this video:
This is footage I recorded the other night, I've been a little behind in PSO2 since RL hit me pretty hard these past couple months. But I came to a realization while playing: This game is 100% free, and the boss fights are WAY more in depth than GW2's. What the hell happened?!
By this time, anyone who knows me knows how much I love PSO2, but I also love GW2. So I'm going to try and take biased views out of the equation. I'm not saying that one is better than the other and I'm not going to compare them on a grand scale. Focusing on one simple aspect: Boss fights.
To put it bluntly:
Very few things about this game disappointed me. The major one has been boss fights and the complete lack of interesting mechanics. In PSO2 every boss, no, EVERY enemy has their own set of unique attacks and tells. The game itself has no ability cooldowns and is almost completely action based, so these things are important.
Obviously GW2 is more of a traditional RPG, but I really hate how rarely you have to change tactics between fighting enemies. The strength of a traditional RPG come with utilizing team synergy and communication, as well as advanced tactics and unique mechanics for each boss encounter.
Yet, this F2P game, which doesn't really require any of that since it's action based and is nearly 100% player skill has more mechanics between bosses than GW2 does which we had to pay money for.
To put it into perspective:
The first boss ever introduced into the game was RockBear (sounds like a Pokemon doesn't it?). RockBear is a giant Golem-Ape-Like creature.
The Mechanics of the RockBear encounter are as follows
Weak Point: Face (-60% damage when hit elsewhere)
It has three attacks:
- A large arcing right hand punch that knocks back.
A ranged jumping attack in which he flips up into the air and flies at you then bellyflops.
A close ranged grab with both hands which he then picks you up and throws you (does MASSIVE damage)
They seem rather simple, and they are. But the game adds an entirely new layer of depth. For example, if you avoid his punch (which he only uses when he's in range of you) whiff, he falls on his back and you have time to hit him without any risk.
When you're far away from him, he does the bellyflop, if you make this whiff he lands on his belly and then proceeds to get up and hold his torso and writhe in pain, also giving you an opportunity to deal some free damage.
When he misses with his grab, he stumbles and falls over. Now, keep in mind that this is the very first boss in the game. None of the bosses past him become vulnerable that easily. And often introduce new mechanics that you have to use to get them to become vulnerable.
Ontop of this, once RockBear reaches 50% health (which you can't see btw) he becomes Enraged. His attacks do a lot more damage and in addition, he no longer becomes vulnerable so easily. His right hand punch becomes a 3 hit combo, and does not leave him vulnerable if he misses. And his bellyflop no longer stuns him, as he does handstands after and continues to jump at you several times, at which point he ends by flipping on his feet upon the last attack missing. Leaving his only vulnerability his throw, which at this point will one shot you if he grabs you (assuming you're the appropriate level for the boss of course).
And if that wasn't enough:
When you enter the boss area with at least 2-3 people in your party (including yourself), enemy mobs spawn throughout the fight and two RockBears are present. Ontop of this, if you have a full party of 4, there are even more adds and once you defeat one of the two RockBears, a third jumps into the area for a total of 3.
Not only does this make the encounter more difficult, since there are now 3 bosses, you get triple the rewards for beating them. EXP and loot from all of them individually.
This is a FREE TO PLAY GAME compared to GW2, which you have to pay money for.
The format is obviously different as the gamestyles aren't the same. But what was the point of removing the trinity if almost all of the bosses follow generic MMO mechanics? Stay out of the fire, don't get hit by the cleave, break players out of stasis. Etc.
To it's credit: GW2 does have a handful of unique bosses, 80% of which are now in the fractals. So I really hope they expand on that. But outside of the Fractals, the bosses are either really generic, or really easy. Some of the most unique bosses in the game can be found via storymode. But story mode is a JOKE and you're never really given an incentive to run it more than once unless you're helping a friend. It's ridiculous.
And some of the ones that are unique and are difficult are just plain idiotic. CoF path 2, for example. When Magg is setting the charges of his "Kaboomium" on the barricade to break it open and you have to protect him from waves of mobs for a set amount of time.
The "STRATEGY" for this encounter(after it was made more difficult) is to have 1 person run around the room like an idiot and kite all the mobs until they're about to die, then send in more people to kite them around while that one person dies and runs back, who then waits outside the room for the people in front of him to die so he can run back in and continue the chain until the timer runs out.
Are you #@$%ing kidding me?
I mean seriously? Maybe, someone somewhere has figured out a better way to run it where you don't die and you use actual strategy to beat the event. But in the end, that is the tactic that most groups use, because that's what's easier to do and takes the least amount of time. KILLING yourself, over and over while this stupid Asura sets up a bomb.
The repair bill isn't even what makes me mad What makes me mad is that they messed up the path and made it braindead easy, which they then looked to fix by making it "harder", and THIS was the choice they decided to make. Not make the final encounter, an actual encounter instead of a stupid gimmick. Or make some of the bosses before that specific part ACTUAL bosses. No. They settled on this stupid, lazy, piece of crap design choice.
I mean realistically I could do this all day.
Alpha, in CoE. I do like Alpha's encounters, A LOT. Like A LOT a lot. I thoroughly enjoy the fact that if your group is good enough you'll never die once while fighting him the several times you encounter him in each path. But I was extremely disappointed that when you encounter him on each path, that the only mechanic that changed is which spells he casts and what elements he uses.
There's another retarded fight in CoE where you have to fire lasers at a boss to lower his shield, then jump down some platforms that vanish periodically and do as much damage as you can before he puts the shield back up and knocks you into lava which can pretty much insta-kill most people. It was cool that it had a puzzle and stuff, but once you get the puzzle down the boss itself is a joke. Not like, "Oh I know these mechanics, it's now a joke boss" it literally, has no more difficulty after it.
Even in other MMO's once you learn the bosses mechanics, and you have all of it down, it can still be really hard to deal with some of their stuff. In GW2, however, once you have a boss fight down literally almost all of the challenge is GONE. And that bothers me, greatly.
Because here I am playing this game that I paid no money for and finding WAY MORE DEPTH within the boss fights and how you have to beat each one, compared to this high budget took-5-years-to-make MMO that I've been waiting for, and it's so completely braindead that it makes me sick.
Also to it's credit, obviously GW2 does a whole lot of things that PSO2 doesn't, which is why I'm not saying one is better than the other. Nor am I comparing them on a grand scale because they really are very different. But as far as boss fights go? GW2 dropped the ball the first time around.
They've added in the fractals which I Loooovvvveee and I realize I'm in the minority when it comes to GW2, because most people that play this game don't come from raiding backgrounds or hated raiding. But while doing so they've created an ungodly amount of bad-PR within the community.
They've said they're going to go back and "completely revamp" all of the explorable dungeons, which I look forward to. But honestly, I'm starting to lose faith in ArenaNet. They're making the SWTOR mistake of addressing problems with fixes that then in turn, seem to create more problems.
But then again, maybe it's just me.
Edit: You know what really gets to me the most? In GW2 when you learn a fight you can pretty much auto-pilot it and win. Even the more complex ones. There are very few fights where you can't recover from if you stop paying attention. In PSO2, no matter how many times I do a fight in a difficulty that I'm the appropriate level for (Normal, hard, very hard etc), if I get caught sleeping, I get hit HARD. You'll notice in the video, that I get hit once and well over 50% of my life is gone. I have to keep moving, I can't slack of and not attack when given opportunities to hit weak points.
Because if I take more than one hit, I'm dead. I honestly got lucky when I lived with 13hp left. I should have died right there.

Continuing on last week's theme of the Iowa State Fair…
The fair is Iowa's premier place for education, entertainment and information on a variety of subjects and has been featured in many articles and books.
The library's copy of the 2010 edition of the best-selling travel book by Patricia Schultz, "1000 Places to See Before You Die" includes our State Fair among its must-see listings.
If you didn't get there this year, or are just interested in knowing more of this event, a place to begin to get a sense of it and why it is such an attraction is, fittingly enough, "State Fair" by Phil Stong. The fair inspired Stong to write his 1932 classic which contains incidents and details from his own experiences along with special insights from his grandfather, who was a fair superintendent for several years.
The ebullience that motivated and drew the protagonists to sight see, compete and seek adventure all set within historically accurate descriptions of the fair and its visitors, applies today. Though changed since the 1930s, the fair maintains its nostalgia along with much of its tradition and purpose, while showcasing the new.
The State Fair's Blue Ribbon Foundation, created to preserve the historic Fairgrounds, has published a richly illustrated history, "Our State Fair," which will bring back many memories for anyone who has attended. It covers various exhibits, foods, posters, animals, art, entertainers and competitions seen since the fair began in 1854. A sampling of the fair's posters includes one touting an early air ship's visit to the 1906 fair.
The history of the fair is also the subject of "Iowa State Fair: Country Comes to Town" by ISU professor Thomas Leslie. His book is perhaps the more detailed history of the event, which he notes gathers "one third of Iowa's population" annually and often described as one of the truly authentic American experiences.
The fair became the vehicle for the latest technology and best farming practices and also evolved into an entertainment mecca which saw such famous stunts such as the head-on crash of charging locomotives, Leslie notes. When the fair established a permanent location — Des Moines — the building of all the exhibit halls, barns and pavilions made it the single largest construction job in the state's history.
The butter sculptures have become a fair favorite and the book, "The Butter Cow Lady" by B. Green, tells the story of Norma Lyon, the artist who created many elaborate butter sculptures and appeared on national television. As chance would have it, one of her uncles was Phil Stong himself.

9 Ways to Save a Buck
The Real Estate Solutions Guide 2007

9 Ways to Save a Buck
Want to be more profitable? Then take a look at where your money's going. Here are some simple ways to save a buck.
For Florida real estate professionals, operating efficiently is the key to profitability. That means brokers, managers and sales associates need to take a close look at their expenses on a regular basis and cut back on any unnecessary costs. Here are 9 tips to consider.
1. Look for the lowest price.
Susan Kane Carr, a sales associate with Charles Rutenberg Realty Inc. in St. Petersburg, makes it a point to shop around for the best price on Internet Web hosting, printing, software and other services. "In many cases, my broker and our local Board have negotiated discounts with vendors," she says. "But if I can find a cheaper price myself, I go for it. That's [cut my expenses by] 5 to 50 percent, depending on the product or service."
2. Join a team.
Working as a team allows you to pool your resources and share expenses like Web site hosting and updating, phone, equipment and advertising, says Amanda Rose, a sales associate with Realty Executives Adamo & Associates in Seminole. Rose joined another associate's six-person team in May 2007. "I spent at least $3,000 on advertising in 2006. Now, the team does the advertising," says Rose, who was able to stop investing in her own Web site since her team has an effective site. "That saved $45 a month," she says, "and having property fliers printed by our team cuts my costs another $50 a month."
3. Install a virtual switchboard.
Cynthia Guerrero, broker-owner of Castle Realty in Orlando, saved time and money by using an automated switchboard [www.onebox.com] with a personal toll-free number to handle contacts from prospective buyers. With a basic system, priced at about $50 a month, calls are answered with a prerecorded professional greeting and forwarded to an office, cell or home phone. Faxes can be sent via e-mail. Incoming calls are tracked, and they can be combined with a contact database as well.
4. Look for free online bulletin boards.
Many regional markets have free bulletin board services that accept property listings. "We post to craigslist (www.craigslist.org—a consumer-focused local community bulletin board), ActiveRain (http://activerain.com—an online community for real estate professionals) and Zillow (www.zillow.com—a free home-valuation service)," says Janie Coffey, owner-broker of Papillon Real Estate LLC in Coral Gables. "Altogether, our Miami-Dade listings reach about 50 sites—all free."
5. Think classified rather than display ads.
To reduce advertising costs, David Heroux, a sales associate with Tropic Shores Realty in Spring Hill, uses the classifieds. "It's too expensive to purchase the large display ad placements," he says. "And [I've found] classifieds work just as well."
6. Write a real estate column.
Rather than advertise, Brett Slattery a sales associate with Keller Williams Realty in Englewood, writes a regular column on the front page of five regional newspapers that reach 40,000 to 100,000 paid subscribers, depending on the season. "I enjoy writing about timely real estate topics, and the papers appreciate my contributions," he says. "While I don't get paid for my columns, I would have to spend $50,000 a year [in advertising] to generate the same amount of name recognition. And, no amount of money can buy a spot on the front page. Slattery adds that his columns help drive traffic to his blog (http://brettslattery.blogspot.com) and Web site (http://brettslattery.com).
7. Create your own publication.
Nine Keller Williams offices recently pooled their resources, hired a publisher and created a free monthly magazine distributed at area shopping centers. "Each one of our agents pays $35 a month," says Kris Deren, team leader, Keller Williams Elite Properties, Aventura. "Our associates love this because it saves them money with classified ads and display ads, and it helps them get new listings."
8. Review your office hours.
Opening a half hour later in the morning can cut overhead costs for realty offices that have little early walk-in or phone traffic. On the other hand, Paul McRae, president, Galleria Collection of Fine Homes, Fort Lauderdale, keeps his Las Olas Boulevard office open until 11 p.m. some nights to attract passing shoppers. "We cut back on costly print media, and have found this is a good alternative," he says.
9. Go green and save money.
Put all your forms and paper communications on an intranet site (accessible only to sales associates with a password), says Beth Butler, chief operating officer of Esslinger-Wooten-Maxwell Realtors® Inc. (EWM) in Coral Gables. "In every real estate office there's a huge wall of forms and printed pieces, which frequently change. All [associates] should have access to a computer either at home or at the office. Stop printing and start publishing on your intranet site," she says. "The Florida Association of Realtors (FAR) has all the forms you can think of already accessible online. E-mail your memos and reports if your company does not maintain an intranet site. For contracts, we're about to pilot an electronic signature site to cut those fax and courier charges even more."

Marill @ Choice Band
Trait: Huge Power
252 HP/252 Atk/4 SpD
Adamant Nature
-Aqua Jet
-Ice Punch
Well, I have tried this set before and it is quite powerful. While it is nothing game-breaking (at all), it is rather viable. 1. It has the surprise factor and 2. Your opponent will be too busy laughing to realize that Marill had just cleaned up the rest of his team (sometimes). Aqua Jet is mainly what I use for late game sweeping. This set is also great for Dual Screens and someone to set up rocks. With rocks on the field, defeating Specially Defensive Amoonguss is 10x easier thanks to Marill's higher speed and access to Ice Punch. Dual Screens help tank some special attacks (except grass and electric) and allows marill to attempt a offensive sweep. With Adamant natured and huge power, its base attack rises to 304 which is where the choice band comes in handy. Of course, Allomomola and basically every bulky water type stops it in its tracks, and its frailty is easily taken advantage of by Absol and the likes. All in all, I was surprised at the effectiveness of this set, but it's not as good as other Choice Band users for sure. Cool points for using it though!

Ticket #3752 (closed enhancement: fixed)

When dealing with "real" book-like PDF files, reading in the Read activity is somewhat uncomfortable.
Read opens with the zoom level defaulting to the width of the page, so the first page (the front cover) is shown truncated - the bottom section is not shown.
In the zoom toolbar, there is no option to zoom based on the height of the page like there is for width, so I have to click "zoom out" a few times until I can see the whole page (and an uncomfortable sliver of the next one).
When I want to change page, I have to scroll - there's nothing equivalent to a "page turn" functionality. When the book is logically laid out in terms of pages, this is uncomfortable. For example, where an image or a diagram fills a page, you aren't going to want to see it cut in half. Also, it is hard to make the top of the page you are turning to align with the top of the activity.
Having a more page-based approach (perhaps only as an option activated by a toolbar option) would lead to a much more pleasant book reading experience here.

The philosophy embodied by the SIUE School of Pharmacy Office of Professional and Student Affairs (OPSA) can best be captured by the following quote:
"The essence of our effort to see that every (pharmacy student) has a chance, must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different – to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses."
--John Fischer, Dean, Teachers College, Columbia University, 1973
The SIUE School of Pharmacy Office of Professional and Student Affairs (OPSA) operates on the principle of the "Student Affairs Pyramid" which includes student recruitment, admissions, progression, enrichment, graduation and lifelong affiliation. Student recruitment activities focus on creating a presence for the college both locally and nationally as a venue for students to pursue pharmacy as a career.
The OPSA works with the SIUE Registrar's Office and the Office of Admissions to facilitate the student admissions process. The OPSA performs professional student advising and helps students work with the SIUE Office of Student Financial Aid. An early monitoring program to facilitate student progression through the professional pharmacy program is coordinated by the OPSA.
The student enrichment activities are coordinated in collaboration with several offices at SIUE and include student professional and leadership organization endeavors, career counseling, job placement (e.g., career fairs), and community-based service learning. Other student enrichment programs include a faculty-student mentoring program and a student-student "buddy" program.
Also, professionalization activities such as the white coat ceremony and the pinning ceremony are organized by the OPSA. In collaboration with the Office of External Affairs and Development, lifelong affiliation with alumni will be effected by creating a network of alumni who remain involved with the student enrichment activities of the SIUE School of Pharmacy thereby also creating role models for students in the professional pharmacy program.

The Perfect Telephone for An Escapade - Iridium 9575 Extreme
Off road driving is a spare time interest that plenty of men are in to. The adrenaline and fun that off road driving brings is incomparable and the more challenging the terrain is the more fun it gets. Off road driving also shows a man's ability in driving and it is one of the largest pastimes around now.
There are clubs for off road driving where groups of folk routinely get together and explore places with their big cars that are designed for uneven terrain and challenging conditions. But the worst part of this activity is that your vehicle can break down in the middle of your journey and it's not fun when that happens.
Having a phone like the Iridium 9575 extreme can get you out of those tough scenarios. Regardless of where you go, you can make calls and texts for help or to the men and women that you care about most. You can give them an update on where you are, tell them what you are doing and tell them if you are in need of anything. The Iridium 9575 is an extraordinary satellite phone and wherever you choose to take it, you will be able to use it.
It has army grade durability so regardless of if it falls off from your vehicle, it will continue to be fine.
The largest advantage of this phone is you can simply call for help if you have got to. It includes a hands-free earpiece and mic so you can talk with folks even when you're driving. You will need both hands when you go for an off road drive and this makes the earpiece actually useful. There are also a selection of charges that comes with it where one can be used for the car so you will never run straight out of battery.

I know there is a bit of a Robert Pattinson backlash occurring right now, which I don't necessarily mind, as it leaves less competition for when I attempt to score him for three out of the five types on my rebound list. I still might have to fight off Tyra Banks though, by the looks of this clip from when she had Robert on her show on Friday. Honestly, I'm sadly aroused and jealous. While I would never be so lame as to actually ASK him to bite me, I kind of want him too. And he leaves a mark! Keep reading »

"Moving the Needle" Says Move the Ladies Room
A recent meeting with female employees of the New York Stock Exchange found that the ladies room situation is a major inconvenience. While the guys have facilities that are right near the trading floor, the ladies literally need a map to get to the restroom.
The meeting was conducted as a result of the NYSE's participation in the Moving the Needle campaign, which seeks to increase diversity at U.S. companies. That includes the executive level, in recruiting positions, on committees, and in other positions. Moving the Needle is brought to us by Corporate Board Member, an education provider for publicly traded companies. The NYSE is its parent company.
"It's hard to believe that the location of a bathroom could have anything to do with getting more women in the boardroom, but actually it does," says The Grindstone. A little surprising, but maybe not so much. The ladies room — its upkeep, its location, the wait time — are all topics of conversation for women. And the situation at the NYSE sounds extreme.
In our experience, small things can make a big difference. And really, the restroom isn't a small thing. Providing lactation spaces, complimentary tampons, and other services specifically for women are ways to attract them as staffers. Moreover, they'll talk up that company as a good place to work.
And it's not just the women that benefit. A study conducted by the Credit Suisse Research Institute found that companies with at least one woman on the board do considerably better, from an economic standpoint, than those companies with all-male boards.
