Snow Guardians - Search & Rescue / Ski Patrol Documentary
Snow Guardians Documentarywww.SnowGuardians.com
Story Outline: An immensely visual documentary on the life and work of Ski Patrol at several Rocky Mountain Ski Resorts as well as the Search and Rescue teams that respond to winter emergencies in the backcountry. The goal will be to capture the hard work and passion of Ski Patrol and snow science experts as they work in challenging, dangerous, yet beautiful locations.
Much of the above trailer was shot durring the last winter season and the beginning of this season. This year has been one of the worst avalanche winters in recent history already claiming 8 lives in the Western United States. We critically need your help to complete the filming and interviews of people effected by these avalanches, and to edit, grade, buy music rights and to finish post production.
The expanded interest in the backcountry has resulted in a growing number of adventurers seeking enjoyment outside a ski resort. The imperfect science of avalanche study and prediction may be the only thing standing in the way of life and death for a growing number of backcountry adventurers. The film will also be a highly educational yet gripping story to help educate people traveling into the backcountry on the science and skills needed to survive.
Visual Goal: Immerse the viewer into the lives of the men and women who take on this challenging high altitude job. Capture the vast natural beauty of the remote and sometimes inhospitable mountain winter that makes the physical and financial challenge of the job worth every penny.
Production Equipment: The documentary will be shot using cutting edge motion control time-lapse systems to help show the beauty and the amazing winter weather in the Rocky Mountains. The crew will use new smaller cutting edge broadcast HD cameras allowing their quick movement and setup in remote locations.
Behind the Scenes: In addition to the documentary, separate behind the scenes videos and still photos will be shot in parallel. The behind the scenes capture will be integrated into daily filming in harsh winter conditions and will be used to highlight the abilities of a new breed of small, digital broadcast cameras, HDDSLR and digital encoding technologies. Blog and twitter updates will be posted on the website, allowing followers to track the progress and learn from the behind the scenes content.
How your money will be used: We are on our second season shooting a documentary about Ski Patrol & Search and Rescue teams with the help of 14 talented filmmakers in Montana. Across the West, there had been 13 avalanche deaths this season as of Feb. 16, and with the boom in backcountry winter sports there is a critical need in avalanche safety training. Our film will provide a much needed overview of the training and equipment needed to venture off the beaten path all while being visually breathtaking enough to entertain all generations of snow adventures.
Because of the heavy avalanche year we are filming interviews of survivors and their rescuers and are in the process of editing over 3.5 Terabytes of HD footage that captured the lifestyle and visual beauty that draws people the rustic mountain lifestyle. The cost to pay editors, visual effects specialists and to license music will be over $22,000 alone.
We were lucky to keep our operating costs down because of the amazing donation of time by our super talented film crew. Now we need your help to contribute. Due to the donation of time you will find this is one of the lowest costing Kickstarter campaign for a HD broadcast quality film.
The project has turned out as an amazing visual compilation of the life and science behind backcountry snow safety. We hope that it will not only be great to watch but provide needed education on backcountry safety to save lives.
Now its time for you to help, your contribution is critical to help us complete the project.

Dressage Winnipeg is looking for sponsors for the 2018 show season!
Dressage is the art of riding turned into sport and is often compared to ballet or competitive figure skating. Dressage Winnipeg is committed to helping Manitoba riders achieve equestrian excellence. The club does this through hosting 3 shows each year, which includes the Manitoba Gold Provincial Dressage Championships. Educational events are also made available to further our rider's knowledge and skills on horseback. Our club supports youth initiatives and has had many riders go on to compete in nationally or internationally (FEI) ranked shows around North America, while continuing to provide a high quality showing experience for the up and coming youth, adult amateurs and professionals at home.
Dressage Winnipeg depends on the continued support of our sponsors to help advance the sport of dressage in Manitoba. Our levels of sponsorship and the marketing perks attached to them are outlined in the 2017 sponsorship brochure. Please contact the sponsorship chair, Kali Parry, with any further questions or ideas about how we can incorporate your business into Dressage Winnipeg. We look forward to you becoming a part of a growing community, fuelled by the love of the horse and a passion for sport.

What makes an ideal society and who decides its criteria? Can we draw parallels between George Orwell's dark forecast for the future in 1984 and U.S. society today? What role does social identity play in an oppressive society? These are some of the questions Associate Professor of Russian Olga Ogurtsova and her students explore in an FYI class called Enemies of the People: Enemies of Happiness.
Short for First-Year Initiatives, FYIs are courses that introduce first-semester, first-year students to the college and emphasize collaborative learning, critical thinking, and intercultural literacy.
Using George Orwell's 1984 and Yevgeny Zamyatin's We as their primary texts last fall, students spent the semester exploring such themes as totalitarian government, national security, ideal society, personal freedom, and the persistence of the human spirit.
Ogurtsova first offered Enemies of the People in the fall of 2001. She remembers how students were giving group presentations about who was considered an "enemy of the people" in modern American history when they first got word of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"During a presentation, a professor came into the classroom and invited us to go to the south lounge to watch the news. Just as we were entering the room, the second plane flew into the tower," Ogurtsova says. "Before, people didn't even think about terrorism," she says of the change in attitudes that followed the attacks. "9/11 changed the way that we discussed and read. Suddenly everything became much more relevant and real."
In 2012, students began Ogurtsova's course by presenting on central figures of the Russian government, the KGB, and other aspects of Russian history. They read fiction, non-fiction, and satirical accounts of dystopian societies and life in the Stalinist regime, including Heart of a Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov and Eugenia Ginzburg's harrowing autobiography Journey into the Whirlwind. Students are expected to write a paper on each work of literature and facilitate regular class discussions on the readings.
"There's an added level of authenticity to this class because Olga lived in the Soviet Union during this time," says Reid Libby'16. "It doesn't feel like speculation." Other classmates agree that Ogurtsova's personal connection to the course material adds to the relevance of the class.
Students discuss the advent of social networks ("Facebook is Big Brother!" Ogurtsova warns), surveillance cameras, and cell phone tracking, and the ways in which these developments limit personal freedom. Discussions like these force students to consider the delicate relationship between a government and its people.
Beyond learning an interdisciplinary understanding of concepts, students in Ogurtsova's FYI develop a family-like community that helps smooth the transition to college life, part of the purpose of First-Year Initiatives. She emphasizes the importance of creating "a good classroom climate" and does so by cultivating a supportive, close-knit learning environment.
The first thing she does in class each day is check in with students. Even as they near the end of the semester, she discusses their plans for spring courses. As students list and compare their tentative schedules, Ogurtsova responds with advice and genuine concern.
"I like that Olga asks us how we are doing at the start of every class," says Geniene Lettman'16 of the daily check-in. "It helps foster a sense of family within the class."
Reading List
- We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
- 1984 by George Orwell

My boyfriend of 5 yrs was just recently diagnosed with EC. He just had his first operation for a J-tube and seems to be doing okay. I, however, am just starting to realize the severity of this disease. I had a breakdown the other day in the hospital and our treatment (chemo and radiation) hasnt even begun yet. He has lost about 75 pounds and looks as though he has aged 20 yrs in the last month. He is very grouchy and doesnt want my help with anything. Im not sure how to deal with this and could use a little advise. Anything you could tell me would help. Thanks
Apr 06, 2006 - 9:25 am
My dad was just diagnosed with EC in February 2006. He never smoked, only an occasional drink, ate right, exercised vigorously everyday. By the time he was diagnosed it had spead to his liver. He is doing remarkably well right now. He is into his second round of chemo and radiation every day. How is your husband? I know the outlook for this cancer is very grim but I refuse to believe that he cannot beat this thing. I wish I could find survivor stories with people who have had it spread to the liver. Have you heard of any? I wish you and your husband the best.

Jay-Z & Beyonce Trademark Blue Ivy Carter's Name
According to the NYDailyNews, on January 26th Jay-Z and Beyonce filed a trademark application for the name "Blue Ivy Carter". Jay and Bey want exclusive ownership of "Blue Ivy Carter" in connection with cosmetics, recordings, baby products, clothing, toys, video games, and motion picture films.
The trademark filing comes after two companies unsuccessfully tried to file a trademark under their daughters name. Most likely the couple is simply trying to stop others from profiting off the name.

Pathetic? How so? If you had a baby and somebody tried to use his or her name as their way of making money without your permission, how would you feel? Oh you wouldn't like that. So quit hating because you don't have the relevance or money to trademark your name, or any name.

@Chi Simpson!!!, One she looks nothing like camel, cute baby btw. Two do you knw what trademark is? this has nothing to do with stopping other couples from naming there child that name lol This is from preventing big companies from making profit out of that name, not that its so special but Jay n B are a famous couple, its an easy market. Something your old ass i guess doesnt understand lol " Get a life Jay and Bey" really?? haha Oh and get your facts straight yes they paid money at the hospital but it wasnt the WHOLE hospital, it was one floor. Do you knw how many floors they are just for Pediatrics?? multiple. That means there was still other floors available. Did they stop the ER from being available? No. exactly so people that were sick were able to get attended. Bro shes a baby, so that last rant of you saying she might do drugs is just stupid haha I wouldnt call you a bitch or hater tho, ill just call you ignorant thats a good word for your lack of knowledge.

dannng, dont people know how to read anymore?? They are only trying to protect the name from other people who have already tried making money off of Blue Ivy's name. Even if they trademark it, you can still name your kid Blue Ivy as long as you dont commercialize it and go into a business similar to what they are in. GEEEEZ, get a freaking grip people. And go back to school.

From the Corner of the Eye
By Diana Glassman
Esperanza Studio presents "From the Corner of the Eye," an exhibit by Kathleen Cammarata and Annie Evans. Both artists honor the feminine in all its mythological beauty and the mystery that lies just below the surface of reality, a melding of our world with another more fantastical realm, something that can be glimpsed momentarily out of the corner of the eye. The show features transformational work on the ambiguous nature of our connection with the natural world, including mixed media drawings, prints, and paintings as well as ceramic and papier-mâché sculptures. It will be at the Esperanza Studio in Colonia San Antonio, Alameda 6, on Sunday, December 6, 1 to 5pm.
Ms. Cammarata's drawings consist of exquisite nudes releasing flights of butterflies from lips and thighs, fossilized lily pods blossoming sinuous and otherworldly, and votive offerings in some fantastic temple beyond space and time. The play of the erotic energies of attraction are present in much of her work, be it figurative detailed drawings on paper or the gorgeously colorful large scale oil-on-canvas abstracts. Her precision with layout and form somehow explodes and tantalizes by the inherent sensuality and beauty of her work.

Ms. Evans' provocative hand-built ceramic sculptures are an amazing presence, wild creatures morphing into voluptuous nudes, dazzling to the mind and eye. We are seeing something we know but do not quite recognize. Her use of natural animal horn and bone is exciting, thoughtful, and irresistible to the eye. Her dream creatures are sailing the waters of life in water troughs, or riding the backs of folk art animals ferreted out of the outdoor markets and junk emporiums of San Miguel. Multiple firings with oxide under and over glazes create a depth of color and texture, reminiscent of ancient mossy forests or the blues and greens of seaborne algae. It all seems like a primordial underworld brought forth from some deep remembering. A new body of work will also be on display, inspired by the historical Mexican tradition of papier-mâché and the mojigangas of San Miguel. Ms. Evans is using this multi-generational, traditional art form to create her fantastical paean to the feminine.
This is a show to excite the imagination and make you question what you think you know, by two of the finest artists here in San Miguel.

"Forget Princess, Call Me President" is, in our humble opinion, the greatest girl power t-shirt slogan ever coined. It came from the mind of the amazing Peggy Orenstein, author of the critically-acclaimed "Cinderella Ate My Daughter." Years ago Peggy told our dear friend Jo Hadley, the founder of our sister brand Handsome in Pink, that she thought someone should put it on a t-shirt one day. And Jo replied, without missing a beat," That person is going to be me."
In 2017, when Jo was ready to move on from Handsome in Pink after ten years of fighting gender stereotypes in kids' clothing, we bought the company and its designs from her. We did it in large part because we have always been desperately in love with this slogan and wished we'd come up with it ourselves.
In addition to our Presidential Seal version, we excitedly created this hand lettered edition to share with all those girls out there who dream big! One of you will be president someday. We're behind you 100%.
Fashionable Garments, Ethically Produced
All of our clothes are designed in Seattle, ethically cut and sewn abroad in Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production-certified facilities so you know they're sweatshop-free and guaranteed free of child labor, and screen printed with tons of love in the USA.
Unisex Tee Sizing and Fit
Our unisex tees run large and the fit is loose and relaxed. Your shirt will shrink a bit the first time it is washed, but because this style runs large we do not recommend sizing up.

Aim for their heads!
My fourth quarter here at the Portfolio Center, I designed special edition packaging for the Louisville Slugger. The story behind the package is a world where baseball never existed because people spend all of their free time fending off zombies. In this world, the bats are one of the primary zombie fighting tools in the absence of firearms. With copywriter Tyler Pierce, we came up with a zombie related backstory that mirrors the actual origin of the Louisville Slugger. The package mimics the wall mounted cases that house fire extinguishers. "In case of zombies, break glass."
The origin story was featured on the back of the package but for my final portfolio, I wanted to illustrate the story, comic book style. Below are both my toned comp and the finished version.

Though the majority of CPA Exam questions consist of CPA Exam multiple-choice questions and Task-Based Simulations, candidates must master one other question type in order to pass the CPA Exam: the Written Communication Task. Written Communication Tasks (WCs) only appear on the BEC CPA Exam section, and they only contribute to 15% of your BEC score. However, BEC Written Communication Tasks are such a unique question type that failure to properly prepare for them could leave you with a sizable hole in your BEC score. Conversely, ample practice with BEC Written Communication Tasks can earn you an easy advantage on BEC. Give yourself one less thing to worry about and that much more confidence for CPA Exam success by developing your WC skills, and begin by learning the basics of BEC Written Communication Tasks.
What are BEC Written Communications?
A Written Communication Task is similar to the Task-Based Simulations (TBSs) in that it provides you with scenarios to which you must respond, but the way you respond is what differentiates WCs from TBSs. To answer BEC Written Communication Tasks, you must write your response in the form of a business memo rather than choose your answer from a list of possible options. The purpose of the business memo is to address the needs and concerns of the party designated in the scenario provided, who may be someone like an executive or an auditor. The memo you generate must mimic what a CPA in the field would actually write. For example, you might be asked to recommend a given risk management strategy to executive management or to explain currency exchange rates to a client considering an endeavor into foreign markets.
The topics of a BEC Written Communication Task can venture outside the range of the BEC CSO; they may touch on topics from AUD, FAR, or REG as well. Therefore, sufficient preparation for BEC Written Communication Tasks includes familiarity with all the topics on all the different exam sections.
What are the Number and Scoring Weight of BEC Written Communications?
On the CPA Exam, the BEC section contains three WCs in one testlet. The structure of the BEC CPA Exam section involves five testlets: two MCQ testlets, two TBS testlets, and one WC testlet. The MCQs account for 50% of your grade, the TBSs provide 35%, and the WCs contribute the remaining 15%.
How are the BEC Written Communications Graded?
While computers grade all the different types of CPA Exam questions, human scorers may review and regrade your responses to the BEC Written Communication Tasks if your exam score is hovering around 75. If your WC answers do necessitate human assessment, your BEC CPA Exam score release may be delayed by about a week.
The AICPA reports that your BEC Written Communication responses will be evaluated according to three general writing criteria: organization, development, and expression.
The AICPA defines organization as the structure of the document, the order of the ideas, and the linking of the ideas. The overview or thesis statement; the unity of the topic sentence and supporting sentences within the paragraphs; and the transitions and connectives between the paragraphs are all included in this category.
The development of your response is the supporting evidence used to clarify and verify your thesis. Details, definitions, examples, and rephrasing should all be employed to progress the development of your writing.
Your expression entails your adherence to the conventional standards of business English. The AICPA groups grammar, punctuation, word usage, capitalization, and spelling under the heading of expression.
A good score on a BEC Written Communication Task calls for a clear thesis delineating your position and plenty of relevant evidence backing it up. Your BEC Written Communication Task response should be systematic, logical, and on topic. You will earn no credit for a response that strays away from the direction of the scenario or that offers illegal advice.
How Can You Be Ready for BEC Written Communications?
The best way to brace yourself for BEC Written Communication Tasks is to use these BEC Written Communication tips for studying and these CPA BEC Written Communication tips for testing. You will also need to get in plenty of practice with Written Communication simulations. Only a CPA review system that thoroughly discusses the testable content and contains the largest test bank of MCQs, TBSs, and WCs available can satisfy all your BEC Written Communication needs, and only Gleim CPA Review qualifies as that review system. See how simple it can be to prepare for BEC Written Communication Tasks with Gleim CPA by trying our free CPA demo today.

Importance of a Safe Learning Environment
Dear Orange Schools Family,
Our hearts go out to all who are impacted by the tragic events in Florida at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. With each violent incident we are reminded, whether in a school environment or as a community, of the important role we all play as a source of prevention to tragic and senseless acts of this nature.
The Orange City School District is committed to the safety and security of our students and staff. We continue to partner with our local law enforcement, firefighters, and other first responders to review, improve and practice safety plans.
While it is impossible to predict every situation, we prepare students and staff by training, practicing, discussing, learning, informing, and assisting them with proper safety protocols throughout our school campus. Our actions align with our school safety plans that have been created in cooperation with local safety forces.
These safety plans are updated annually and are reviewed, approved by, and filed with the local police departments, fire departments and the Attorney General's Office. They include protocols for addressing serious threats to the safety of students and staff.
Our constant reinforcement of safety protocols and the use of training events reminds everyone to be aware and vigilant. We must do our very best to look for potential situations either observed physically, on social media or through other electronic means (i.e. text or email), and to remain proactive. We value the assistance and responsiveness of our community partners.
Our school building external doors remain locked at all times. Staff members have key card identification access to unlock doors. We have a full-time School Resource Officer from the Pepper Pike Police (Officer Todd) on our campus every day school is in session. We also are visited throughout the school day by Moreland Hills Police and other safety force members who routinely patrol school buildings and our campus.
Again, our ultimate goal is to provide a safe and secure learning environment for all students and staff on our school campus. Our schools cannot do this without a partnership between parents, communities and local safety officials.
Parents and students are asked to use the Safe School Helpline to share concerns. All messages are CONFIDENTIAL and ANONYMOUS. The Safe School Helpline can be accessed via three methods - By telephone at 1-800-4-1-VOICE ext. 359 (1-800-418-6423 ext. 359); online at www.safeschoolhelpline.com; or by texting 66746 and typing "TIPS" as the message.
We will continue to be proactive in doing everything possible to protect the safety and welfare of everyone on our school campus and ask for your continued cooperation, assistance and support.

Law Against Texting Will Save Lives, Group Says
April 25, 2013
Read More: 2013 general assembly, texting while driving, VA laws
By Michael Schuster
Capital News Service
RICHMOND − A new state law to stiffen penalties for Virginians caught texting while driving will save countless lives, the head of a nonprofit driving safety organization says.
"Distracted driving is one of the main causes of accidents in the state. The laws are designed to keep Virginia drivers safe, not to punish them. There has been a ton of positive feedback so far," said Janet Brooking, executive director of DriveSmart Virginia.
The Richmond-based group was a driving force behind the General Assembly's crackdown on texting while driving this year.
"We work with lawmakers annually to get driving safety laws passed, and texting while driving was certainly a big issue this session," Brooking said. "What DriveSmart does is that we educate the public about the dangers of unsafe driving."
DriveSmart Virginia was founded in 1995 by Allstate, GEICO and other insurance companies, according to the group's website. It is dedicated to "educating drivers and raising traffic safety awareness in order to save lives and reduce injuries on the roadways of Virginia."
During the 2013 legislative session, the organization helped secure passage of House Bill 1907 and Senate Bill 1222. The legislation makes it a primary offense to enter multiple letters or text into a handheld communications device while driving. (That means you can get ticketed if a police officer sees you texting while driving. Currently, this is a secondary offense, meaning you can be cited only if you have been stopped for some other violation.)
Originally, Delegate James L. Anderson, R-Woodbridge, and chief patron of HB 1907, aimed to increase the penalties for texting while driving offenses from $20 to $250 for a first offense and from $50 to $500 for subsequent violations.
However, Gov. Bob McDonnell felt that the increases were too harsh and recommended cutting the new fines in half. The General Assembly agreed during its one-day "veto session" this month.
As a result, under the legislation that McDonnell signed on April 3, an initial texting-while-driving infraction will result in a fine of $125, while a second offense will cost $250.
"We would have loved to get the $250 and $500 [fines], but that would have required an entire handheld ban, and I just don't think Virginia is ready for that yet," Brooking said.
The new law, with its higher fines, will go into effect July 1.
DriveSmart Virginia isn't waiting for the law to take effect in order to urge motorists to hang up and focus on driving. The group is asking Virginians to take an online pledge to "stop using a cell phone while driving" and to ask family members and friends to do the same. The pledge is available at www.drivesmartva.org
The effort is especially timely: April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Most people understand that distracted driving is dangerous, Brooking said.
"I think a lot of people are responding really well to the new laws," she said. "We were in Martinsville at the NASCAR race, taking pledges for people to not text and drive, and honestly only a few people refused."
However, some Virginia drivers, like Virginia Commonwealth University student Matthew Kemp, think the new laws may be an invasion of privacy.
"I'm all for safe driving, for sure," he said. "But with everyone having a smartphone these days, I think it's going to be hard for the police to determine if someone is texting while driving. I understand the penalties, but I think it may be invasive in some cases."
DriveSmart's Distracted Driving Pledge
DriveSmart Virginia has posted its Distracted Driving Pledge for people to sign online atwww.drivesmartva.org. It states:
I, (your name), pledge to lead the way by:
1. Committing to stop using a cell phone while driving.
2. Asking loved ones and friends to stop using cell phones while driving.
3. Being informed about traffic safety laws in my area. (Virginia)
4. Learning more about how distracted driving can harm me and others.
5. Being courteous to other drivers on the roadway by reducing tasks (dining, grooming, talking on cell phone, etc.) while operating a vehicle.
6. Modifying my driving behaviors to maintain satisfactory driving performance and attentiveness.

Mel Brooks brimmed with brio recently, chatting up next weekend's three-day mounting of "The Producers" at the Hollywood Bowl. Firing quips and shtick in lethal arcs at most questions, Brooks pivoted to incisiveness when talking about casting Jesse Tyler Ferguson in the musical's co-lead role of nervous/nerdy accountant Leo Bloom.
"Now Jesse, he has a lot of Leo in him, I think," said Brooks. "Jesse is fragile. He is a good trembler. You get from him that life is a big struggle."
Ferguson is an established TV presence, a comic mainstay and two-time Emmy nominee playing a gay parent on"Modern Family."But his pedigree tracks back to the stage, and during an interview, he was knowledgeable and at ease talking all things theater.

But an innocuous question revealed what Brooks had spotted: about to play a producer, in a piece called "The Producers," the 35-year-old Ferguson was asked if could see himself as a producer someday?

Shvantz Of The Week
Granted, that there is a far worse abuse problem in the Catholic Church than there is in religious Jewish institutions, nevertheless, I am embarassed to say that the Jewish institutions have failed just as miserably as their Catholic counterparts at self-policing, and self-correcting abuse in their respective educational systems. Any sane person would agree that this type of legislation would be unnecessary had these institutions acted with greater prudence and transparency.
All organizations have limited time, money, and manpower. One wonders, given these limitations, why are these organizations engaging the government about this particular issue, when so much good could be accomplished by putting these resources toward the goal of actually helping people? These organizations are to be seen as self-serving, rather than as community-serving.

How awful. I cannot think of one reason why this is a bad thing. Why would they oppose it?
JF, which branch of Orthodoxy do you practice? Ultra? Modern? Satmar? (I don't mean to be nosy. I am just so curious. I really respect that you are not afraid to be different and go against the grain, which must not be easy).
- The Jewish Freak said...
Stacey: Thanks as usual for your comment. As for your question, I was raised what would be considered left-wing modern orthodox, although my high school rabbis were mostly right wing ultra-orthodox. I have long ago stopped the practice of accepting at face value what I am told. I like to examine truth on it's own merits. In other words, I am just trying as best as I can to figure it all out. But I know for sure that my mind will not accept nonsense, no matter how emotionally comforting it may be. I'm just not wired that way. As I see things right now, Judaism is most rewarding to me when viewed as a heritage, (and a proud one at that), not as a race, or religion - I learned that lesson from someone who is wiser than I am. So most of my posts have been on the theme of Jewish heritage, and that pleases me. But in the future, The Jewish Freak will also include posts on bible commentary, criticism of Jewish community practices, and faith vs. reason issues.
- Avi said...
Many years ago I volunteered my time at Miamonedes hospital as an emt. One night they brought in a 16 years old Chasidish kid who had been beaten up by his rebbe. What was his crime? I dont know, maybe acting up like a 16 year old might do, or maybe not studying hard enough. Who knows or cares. The rebbeim in Chasidish yeshivas had carte blanch to do what they wanted. But to beat a kid so severly that he had to be brought into the emergency room? That rebbe should have been fired or at least put in a position where he could never hurt another kid. I honestly dont know if its any better today.
- The Jewish Freak said...
Avi: Thank you for sharing that experience. I always thought that an assault on another individual was a crime. What do I know?
- Stacey said...
JF: Thanks for giving some background. I am wired the same as you. I cannot accept things that make no sense to me (just ask my rabbi about the issues we've gone round and round about)! But I am a proud Jew and have found where I best fit and love living the Jewish life that makes sense to me. Your blog is awesome. I love hearing what you have to say. Did you go to college? My ultra-frum cousins just went off to study...not to real colleges. And perhaps someday you could blog about how your family handles your questioning. You have inspired me to write about something that happened in my own family...if I can find the words to do it w/out offending some of my frum readers.
Avi: What you have just written about breaks my heart. That is just sickening.
- freethoughtmom said...
dovbear's post shows up on page 3 of google search "Agudath Israel of America"! I was trying to track down the legislation, it looks like an older story.
imagine siding with the catholics on this one -- wow.
BTW, thanks for adding in links :)
- The Jewish Freak said...
Freethoughtmom: You're welcome.
Stacey: Thank you for your interest. To answer your question: yes, I went to college. I have an extensive Jewish and secular education, and I am thankful for both.
- Stacey said...
I am not surprised to hear of your extensive secular education because your writing reflects that.
(Some of the Yeshivish blogs I read are unfortunately written with the poorest of English).
You seem very well-rounded. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts.

What should planning for global ERP implementations really look like?
- Posted on February 15, 2017
(In a hurry? Skip to the end to get our guide on essential global deployment capabilities.)
Maybe yours is a single-site organization, working in one language and in one time zone, or maybe you are regional or even a nationwide market player. In all those cases, you may well find a few highly skilled Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration partners "in your neighborhood." But what about when you grow beyond that [CLICK TO TWEET]?
To deploy a core model and truly global structure for Dynamics 365 for Operations (usually it's built for a particular home-country location), you may find that it's not exactly as straightforward as you'd hoped. The seemingly "simple act" of such an expansion (just add more seats, right?) is much more complex. So, are your template and organization rock solid and ready to roll?
As one of the few ERP providers with truly global reach and capabilities, Avanade often leads such local-to-global transitions. And when we run our Readiness Assessment, it's often surprising what we find: core templates in one language only, Excel and Word test plans that are not replicable, no transition metrics, etc. These are just a few very common and basic issues that make each and every "go live" as painful and risky as the previous one.
Yet most of these common pitfalls could be avoided by remembering your end goal, which is for your organization to work together seamlessly in a unified ERP world. That's what drives all the target outcomes in cost savings, productivity and performance. It helps to evolve your processes along the way from each "go live" to the next. This is where and how you start to combine theory and practice. It's what constitutes real ERP experience.
For example, it's one thing to say you can meet local compliance and regulatory requirements because you have the manual and a lawyer, but it's altogether something else to say you have a team of local specialists, who speak the local language and who have had to apply what they know in the context of local considerations on multiple projects, with the proper toolset and processes.
At Avanade we've spent years not just compiling our list, but living it. We have benchmarked hundreds of metrics and key performance indicators, from implementation times and costs, to proper management controls. And in the latter case, a lack of controls can rapidly turn an effort towards a unified global deployment into a succession of one-off and even conflicting implementations, where each "new" implementation compounds the risk presented by the previous one. Here's a partial check list of some of the things required for global implementations, from "easy" to hard.
"Do you have (and use)…"
- a common spoken language –e.g., sharable (English) documentation of what has been built and knowledge transfer repository?
- a common IT language (shared master data files for instance)?
- duplicable master company templates?
- an effective way of capturing and documenting process variations by location?
- replicable regression testing? Automated?
- coding best practices, including single point of entry for code, change control measures, and proper release management protocols?
- enforced governance rules, including translating and applying them into daily operations?
- a structured way of collaborating with various partners in any location?
… just to name a few.
In my own experience I've found there is no singular way to roll out a core template. From the very centralized "push" models to the most decentralized ones, the chosen approach can be different due to market dynamics, company culture and organization, and other factors. The key is to know what to look for and then how to adjust. That's why I find my delivery role so exciting, where the challenge is about balancing different factors and striving to reconcile sometimes disparate goals.
Case in point, let's say…
- The CIO has requirements around code, computing environments, and security;
- The COO wants sufficient business flexibility, without feeling constrained by IT "security" issues;
- Meanwhile, the CFO needs a working finance function to address risk, compliance and evolving reporting requirements, which need both security and flexibility.
Exhibit A
Global Capability Assessment (see below for access to the full guide)
It's clear that developing (or buying) all this in an ERP system is a unique challenge. At Avanade, we support large organizations with global reach -- as many as 40 countries in some cases, which is roughly the same number of countries where Dynamics 365 for Operations already meets local regulatory requirements. Along the way, we've built a practice around it and captured our global experience in Avanade's Rollout Repository. So, if you're thinking about evaluating and embarking on your own global implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations, please e-mail me at email@example.com and I will send you our first-step guide, Avanade's Rollout Strategy: Capability Assessment & Goals Setting.

Self-initiated illustration and design work for one of my favourite New York beer brands, Ommegang. Each beer has a mythical story as if taken from a long, lost legend. My aim was to tastefully create a tone and brand for two of them and to render the product in a cinematic, atmospheric manner.
The Ommegang XV pays homage to the great trappist monks and monasteries of Belgium. It was released as a 15th anniversary beer, crafted with patience and inspired by history, so I wanted to refer to time in my design. I settled on creating an ornate solar mechanism complete with planets and wheat sheaves. Pristine gold and cinematic lighting help the bottle feel precious or maybe even worshipped.
The Soothsayer foretells a dark future, a dark beer that refers to an ancient black art and the shadows. I used cascading cloth to envelop the page and create a sense of smooth, flowing darkness that represents the malty beer.
Design frames for the new flagship android phone from One Plus, the 3T. Realizing FX heavy concepts in C4D, I handled a large portion of the artwork for both the pitch and design phase of the project. Using the darker influences in my work to bring a brand into focus, the film symbolizes how the different elements of the 3T connect to the human experience.
C4D, Octane Render, Realflow, X particles, Zbrush
Designed with BrandNewSchool, Directed by Jonathan Notaro.
Experimental design work for Ford created at BrandNewschool. Exploring simple form and bold color to complement both the Fusion and Focus. Precisely lit CG cars contrast primitive shapes. Created in C4D.
Pitch work done whilst at Psyop. I was asked to create a visual language and design style frames for the release video of the 2016 N I K E tiempo's. The boot has a unique underlying structure and so the task was to visualize what is 'UNDER THE SKIN', the deadly secret weapon, that edge that defines the best of the best. My exploration depicts the transformation of Jack Wilshere. Created with C4D, Zbrush (An old head sculpt of I pulled from my archives) photo comping, carefully placed theatrical lighting and finally retouching in Photoshop.
Styleframes for Gillette, god rays, wide angle lenses, lasers and stormtroopers shaving.... I spent around a week in a galaxy far far away creating original Star Wars artwork for the pitch. Designed in NYC at Brandnewschool. Created using C4D and Octane Render.
An illustration for an efficient new sound format in Adobe Premier Pro. Depicting sound as a series of textural concentric discs.
With the help of the talented sound designer LIEKE, I made a short animation to help supplement the work.
Misc commercial animation design and pitch work completed this year. For studio's such as Psyop and BrandNewSchool. Short turnarounds, never more than a week spent pitching on each job. Clients included Microsoft, AMC, Nintendo, Honda, Target and Verizon. Crafting style frames and creating visual identities in such a competitive field requires haste. I work using a combination of 3D and 2D techniques. C4D, zbrush, After Effects and Photoshop are at the core of my workflow and helped me depict key moments and define styles for upcoming Ads or movies.
The Brief: Design and figure out how to create animated hand made feeling wire sculpture stop motion for Verizon fiber optics. At Psyop I visualized these motion tests and styleframes within the challenging timeframe of 3 days.
The brief, to respond to 3 tutorial topics with 3 wide format illustrations for Adobe's site. My overarching concept : Every small lesson learnt will over time build something greater than the sum of all its parts.
I wanted to explore the potential for design and adaptation of the Yo Sushi brand. Playful, scattered with quirky characters and colour. I think a strong, bold illustration style would help solidify their ideals. More colour, more imagination and more ultimately more fun.
Fast food Sushi is typically served on a carousel. The idea of advertising on baggage reclaim at airports followed the work.
Particles and wisps of light form lettering that represent Sohn's haunting vocals. Animated and rendered so large that closeups of letters became standalone artwork.
Portrait of Park Geun-hye for the prestigeous Bloomberg finance magazine. The brief was to produce a portrait for a large article about the first female (and current) South Korean president. It needed to represent Park's grand ambition to reignite growth and urge citizens to become more entrepreneurial.
Driven, a vintage racer portrait I created for NYC studio Vault49.

(What If? Exercise: Read the description here.)
Ms. Miller listened absently to the ticking of the clock, the only sound left in the classroom after her students simultaneously lowered their heads. Every last millisecond used to count, she remembered as she gazed longingly at the silver medal on her desk. Funny how a single leg injury could change everything.
Mary scribbled on her test paper as if she were deciphering a secret code for the military. Her father promised he would take her out for ice cream if she passed the semester with straight A's. She was beginning to wonder if he would ever come back and make good on that promise, but for now, her only concern was mastering algebra.
Jane subconsciously snapped her pencil in half when she saw Michael staring at Laura's behind. How silly she had been to think that pen-dropping incident was their special moment. He could beg all he wanted; she wasn't helping him cheat this time.
As always, the numbers sat there quietly and encouraged George like puzzle pieces falling into place under his pencil. They never bullied him, or yelled at each other in front of him, or got drunk and beat him until he cried. George realized then why he loved math so much: it was the only thing in his life that made any sense.
By the time the bell rang and Johnny handed in his test, only half the problems had answers, and he knew half of those were wrong. In the hallway, he whistled a merry tune as he crossed paths with the cute girl who was a year behind him. Maybe next year, he would finally get to sit next to her.
These pieces are based on What If? Exercise 97: "Nanofictions". The exercise is to write five flash fiction pieces of three sentences each, which may or may not be connected by a common detail. The objective is to understand how to focus immediately on a troubled situation and learn how to identify the details of drama. I hope you enjoy what I've written. Thanks for reading!

Ok, so I'm sitting here dozing on the couch while Evan is playing with Colt's Legos (yeah, yeah, yeah…I know, but he's been pretty good about NOT putting them in his mouth lately. If it gets me ten minutes of Evan Downtime during the day, I'll take it). Suddenly, I am ripped awake by the peppy sound of a show coming to life on the TV and Evan screeching with delight.
"Mama! Tink!" Evan is excitedly clapping his hands and pointing to the TV. It must be some show about trucks that talk or ninja pandas that fly planes. I can't bear to look to see what Evan's new TV obsession will be.
I blink several times to adjust my bleary eyes to view the pixelated nightmare that rules Evan's life and my jaw nearly drops. He's on his feet, swaying back and forth to the music of…Tinkerbell?
Oh, fabulous, Roger is never gonna get over me letting our son watch Tinkerbell. And then I think…Good. Screw Roger. I like Tinkerbell. At least Evan and I can watch something together for a change.
As I sit with my littlest baby curled up on my lap and watch our little pixie friend screw up one thing after another (kind of like me), I feel my head bobbing and my eyelids growing heavy.
"Tink! Tink! Wake up!" I rub my sleepy eyes and look into the steel blue eyes of none other than… Jason? Why is my sexy fantasy man neighbor here in my house? I glance around and see that I am in…a TREEHOUSE??? And lying in a…what the hell is this? A walnut? And why the heck is Jason dressed like that with a pointy little hat and green stockings? He looks like an elf! (He still looks totally hot dressed like an elf, though).
"Jason?" I rub my eyes to assure myself that I am not seeing things.
Jason cocks an eyebrow at me. "Jason? Who's Jason? I'm Peter!" He thrusts his fist upwards and twirls around in a circle…in the air?
I sit up and immediately realize…holy crap! I'm Tinkerbell! I, Amy Maxwell, have morphed into one of the greatest Disney Princess (okay, fairy princess) of all times! My daughter Allie's favorite princess (way back when she wasn't busy hating her mother and painting her fingernails black).
I guess it makes sense. We're both really short and have big hips and no boobs. And we both screw everything up. In fact, I haven't gotten one thing right since I've been born. At least Tinkerbell found out she was a good Tinkering fairy once she tried everything else. When am I gonna figure out what I'm good at? It's certainly not motherhood.
"We have an adventure ahead, Tink! Pirates and bad guys that need to be taken down! Follow me, and I'll lead the way!"
"Where are we off to, Peter?" I ask excitedly, anxious to follow Jason, er, Peter to the ends of the earth.
Suddenly, Cammi from next door comes waltzing into my tree house in a blue nightgown, exposing her heaving bosom over the top of the lacy camisole.
"Wendy!" Jason/Peter grasps her hands and twirls her around. "Thank goodness! We couldn't possibly have an adventure without you, now could we Tink?" He glances at me, his eyes urging me to agree with his statement.
No, of course we can't have an adventure without Cammi/Wendy. I'm starting to realize just how much I'm like Tinkerbell. Remember when I gave Roger a bloody nose because he was looking at that bimbo leaning over the seat in the movies in front of us? I'm suddenly having the urge to do that to my slutty neighborhood nemesis over here.
"Not so fast!" A booming voice fills my treehouse as a rotund figure busts through the door (really, this place is way too small to have all these people squeezing into it…)
Speaking of "squeezing in", it's apparently Roger who has joined the fun. Dressed like a pirate. He'd actually look quite dashing if it wasn't for the mustache…not a fan of facial hair. Let me guess, he's Captain Hook?
"Egads!" Jason/Peter is wielding a sword at my husband, aka. Captain Hook. "Tink! Get up and help me fight the evil Captain Hook! He wants to steal Wendy!"
I glance at "Wendy" and then I glance at the "Evil" pirate. Hmmmm. Just like the real Tinkerbell, I'm weighing my options here. I'm jealous of "Wendy" and I give her up to Captain Hook to destroy, well, that leaves me alone with Peter Pan now, doesn't it?
Stop that Amy! You can't be alone with Jason! And what about Roger? You're throwing Cammi into his lap…doesn't that make you a little bit jealous???
I don't have time to be jealous in my daydream as I am ripped awake by the sound of Evan screaming in terror. My eyes pop open to find that he has scaled the bookcase and is swinging precariously from the top, wielding his own plastic sword.
"Jake, Mama!" He is pointing at the TV again. I can see "Jake and the Never Land Pirates" is now blaring. I sigh with my never ending exasperation as I pull the step stool over to the bookcase and detach my toddler from his fortress wishing I could sprinkle myself with pixie dust and fly away. So much for life as a princess. I'm just a lowly tinkering fairy after all.

Everyone had respect for poor Martin Cunningham. He was a thoroughly sensible man, influential and intelligent. His blade of human knowledge, natural astuteness particularised by long association with cases in the police courts, had been tempered by brief immersions in the waters of general philosophy. He was well informed. His friends bowed to his opinions and considered that his face was like Shakespeare's.
When the plot had been disclosed to her, Mrs. Kernan had said:
"I leave it all in your hands, Mr. Cunningham."
After a quarter of a century of married life, she had very few illusions left. Religion for her was a habit, and she suspected that a man of her husband's age would not change greatly before death. She was tempted to see a curious appropriateness in his accident and, but that she did not wish to seem bloody-minded, would have told the gentlemen that Mr. Kernan's tongue would not suffer by being shortened. However, Mr. Cunningham was a capable man; and religion was religion. The scheme might do good and, at least, it could do no harm. Her beliefs were not extravagant. She believed steadily in the Sacred Heart as the most generally useful of all Catholic devotions and approved of the sacraments. Her faith was bounded by her kitchen, but, if she was put to it, she could believe also in the banshee and in the Holy Ghost.
The gentlemen began to talk of the accident. Mr. Cunningham said that he had once known a similar case. A man of seventy had bitten off a piece of his tongue during an epileptic fit and the tongue had filled in again, so that no one could see a trace of the bite.
"Well, I'm not seventy," said the invalid.
"God forbid," said Mr. Cunningham.
"It doesn't pain you now?" asked Mr. M'Coy.
Mr. M'Coy had been at one time a tenor of some reputation. His wife, who had been a soprano, still taught young children to play the piano at low terms. His line of life had not been the shortest distance between two points and for short periods he had been driven to live by his wits. He had been a clerk in the Midland Railway, a canvasser for advertisements for The Irish Times and for The Freeman's Journal, a town traveller for a coal firm on commission, a private inquiry agent, a clerk in the office of the Sub-Sheriff, and he had recently become secretary to the City Coroner. His new office made him professionally interested in Mr. Kernan's case.
"Pain? Not much," answered Mr. Kernan. "But it's so sickening. I feel as if I wanted to retch off."
"That's the boose," said Mr. Cunningham firmly.
"No," said Mr. Kernan. "I think I caught cold on the car. There's something keeps coming into my throat, phlegm or — — "
"Mucus." said Mr. M'Coy.
"It keeps coming like from down in my throat; sickening."
"Yes, yes," said Mr. M'Coy, "that's the thorax."
He looked at Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Power at the same time with an air of challenge. Mr. Cunningham nodded his head rapidly and Mr. Power said:
"Ah, well, all's well that ends well."
"I'm very much obliged to you, old man," said the invalid.
Mr. Power waved his hand.
"Those other two fellows I was with — — "
"Who were you with?" asked Mr. Cunningham.
"A chap. I don't know his name. Damn it now, what's his name? Little chap with sandy hair . . . ."
"And who else?"
"Hm," said Mr. Cunningham.
When Mr. Cunningham made that remark, people were silent. It was known that the speaker had secret sources of information. In this case the monosyllable had a moral intention. Mr. Harford sometimes formed one of a little detachment which left the city shortly after noon on Sunday with the purpose of arriving as soon as possible at some public-house on the outskirts of the city where its members duly qualified themselves as bona fide travellers. But his fellow-travellers had never consented to overlook his origin. He had begun life as an obscure financier by lending small sums of money to workmen at usurious interest. Later on he had become the partner of a very fat, short gentleman, Mr. Goldberg, in the Liffey Loan Bank. Though he had never embraced more than the Jewish ethical code, his fellow-Catholics, whenever they had smarted in person or by proxy under his exactions, spoke of him bitterly as an Irish Jew and an illiterate, and saw divine disapproval of usury made manifest through the person of his idiot son. At other times they remembered his good points.
"I wonder where did he go to," said Mr. Kernan.
He wished the details of the incident to remain vague. He wished his friends to think there had been some mistake, that Mr. Harford and he had missed each other. His friends, who knew quite well Mr. Harford's manners in drinking were silent. Mr. Power said again:
"All's well that ends well."
Mr. Kernan changed the subject at once.
"That was a decent young chap, that medical fellow," he said. "Only for him — — "
"O, only for him," said Mr. Power, "it might have been a case of seven days, without the option of a fine."
"Yes, yes," said Mr. Kernan, trying to remember. "I remember now there was a policeman. Decent young fellow, he seemed. How did it happen at all?"
"It happened that you were peloothered, Tom," said Mr. Cunningham gravely.
"True bill," said Mr. Kernan, equally gravely.
"I suppose you squared the constable, Jack," said Mr. M'Coy.
Mr. Power did not relish the use of his Christian name. He was not straight-laced, but he could not forget that Mr. M'Coy had recently made a crusade in search of valises and portmanteaus to enable Mrs. M'Coy to fulfil imaginary engagements in the country. More than he resented the fact that he had been victimised he resented such low playing of the game. He answered the question, therefore, as if Mr. Kernan had asked it.
The narrative made Mr. Kernan indignant. He was keenly conscious of his citizenship, wished to live with his city on terms mutually honourable and resented any affront put upon him by those whom he called country bumpkins.
"Is this what we pay rates for?" he asked. "To feed and clothe these ignorant bostooms . . . and they're nothing else."
Mr. Cunningham laughed. He was a Castle official only during office hours.
"How could they be anything else, Tom?" he said.
He assumed a thick, provincial accent and said in a tone of command:
"65, catch your cabbage!"

A big new thing in Longhorn were the tasks and help topics integrated into Explorer. Many builds show an empty space where these tasks would go in Explorer's task pane, but no tasks are showing. In this post I'll describe a the step-by-step process of getting these tasks to work on build 4042. The idea is that we go from… Read more →

The reset
The piece of text you read below was originally part of the 'Guide' section present on the very first iteration of the 'Experience Longhorn' site. Since the switch to WordPress as a CMS and all changes to the theme there has been no more place to have it on what is now called the Builds list. I really didn't want… Read more →
Behind the wallpapers
Here's just a funny tidbit I found some time ago to keep you guys entertained. In an interview on Channel9, Robert Scoble asks a designer on the Windows team, Jenny Lam some questions about Vista and how its coming up1)Channel9 Jenny Lam – Designing Experiences at Microsoft. During the interview the following comes up on the subject of wallpapers: S:… Read more →
Some build
I'm on some sort of 'write down all the things' spree, documenting things I've found in the past1)BetaArchive – Longhorn for everyday use (back then), but never properly have written down here on longhorn.ms. Today I'd like to have a brief look at this unidentified build. In the video 'Why I love XAML' on Channel9, published 20 August 20042)Channel 9… Read more →
Revisiting the Online Photo Print Wizard
In this post I will have a look at how one can unlock the 'full potential' of the wizard – to lift a corner of the veil: it doesn't have a lot of potential. If you can vaguely remember me writing about exactly this subject a few years back.. you are right, but with the switch to the WordPress powered website… Read more →
Aero done right
A lot of people have been struggling to get Aero to work in build 4074. In this post I want to show you how Aero can be enabled along with a little bit of its history. If you came here looking for information about Aurora, please see my post about Aurora & Aero. A theme with two faces During the development of… Read more →
Desktop Compositing
In this tutorial you will find everything you need to enable desktop compositing on the Longhorn builds that support it. I'd like to note that I am writing this tutorial with VMware workstation in mind. As such, all drivers provided on this page are meant for use with VMware. At the bottom of this page you'll find a list of… Read more →
True meaning of RMA
The RMA test tile already caused some discussion in the past and nobody has since figured out what it's purpose is. This hidden tile for the sidebar in builds 4008 and up has no obvious functionality other than taking up space. In this article we will dive into the real meaning and function of the RMA test tile. If… Read more →
3683 Tips & tricks
Longhorn build 3683 is the 'youngest' of all Longhorn builds we have access to, dating back to September 2002. As such you might expect it to be very similar to XP and Server 2003 versions of Windows. When looking superficially at this build this may seem to be correct, but for those that care to take a closer look there… Read more →
Hacking Avalon – 3: Compiling xaml
In this third part of the Hacking Avalon series we are taking a closer look at the process of making an Avalon application. To do this, we will be using a special tool only available in early Longhorn builds. This tool is called the Avalon Compiler or simply 'ac'. This tool does what its name suggests; compile Avalon. But what is… Read more →
The very beginning
Often times people are confused to hear Longhorn was based off of Windows Server 2003. To the newcomer it seems more plausible that it was instead based off of Windows XP because early builds look so much like it. In this post we will have an in-depth look at the early beginning of the Longhorn project. Along the way we… Read more →
Installing drivers
When using Longhorn it's a must to known how to manually install drivers in Windows. The process is basically the same in all versions of Windows, but I thought it couldn't hurt if I would write up a short tutorial for those people new to installing drivers. We start off by opening Run by pressing WIN + R . In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc Click OK.… Read more →
Proper 4093 release
This used to be hosted on the initial website two years ago (whoa, time flies). I completely forgot about re-uploading it until now. Enjoy! Build 4093 was originally leaked at 28 August 2006 as a heavily edited ISO. As the original 4093 ISO wasn't bootable the C0d3rz team made a bootable ISO using 4033's winpe. They edited startnet.cmd to start 4093's… Read more →
Hacking Avalon – 2: Port it
Always wanted to experiment with Avalon on Windows XP? In this second part of the 'Hacking Avalon' series we're going to install not only Avalon but also some other Longhorn component. In this post I will take Windows XP as example, but the installer is also compatible with Server 2003. Below is a description of the included components and their… Read more →
Hacking Avalon – 1: Disable it
This is the first post in a series that I'll be doing. Hacking Avalon will be all about interesting stuff in Avalon. Furthermore, I hope to provide some background on how early variants of Avalon work together with the shell in Longhorn. Keep in mind, this series will mainly discuss the earliest revisions of Avalon found in the 3xxx range of… Read more →
Hillel demoes Longhorn (Extended cut)
Here it is. 6 minutes of Hillel Cooperman introducing Longhorn to the public during Bill Gates' keynote on 27 October 2003 at PDC '03 in Los Angeles. Originally this demo was cut from the footage from Bill Gates' keynote that was published online at Channel9. I found bits and bops of the footage scattered over the web and decided to put them… Read more →
Exposing a spy
Most of you will probably be aware of some of the hidden view options available throughout the Longhorn builds. These views are commonly known as 'Carousel' and 'Panorama'. The latter is often also called 'Phodeo'. Enabling the 3D view-mode as well as one of these hidden views causes a DirectX rendered view to appear instead of the familiar plain 2D view. The… Read more →
The brand new timeline page has been published! The timeline is the place where all important Longhorn events will be bookmarked. Though the timeline remains unfinished, additional events will be added over time. If you have something to add be sure to contact us. Have a look and let us now what you think about this new format in the comments. Read more →
At Microsoft it's common practice to use products still under development to continue development of that very product.

Developers using the product can directly provide feedback and report bugs to teams working on certain features. This process is… Read more →
4039 Tips & tricks
This is the very first page in its kind; a tips 'n tricks page. More of these pages will follow for other interesting builds, showing you the ins and outs and providing easy tutorials to activate hidden features. Pages like this will be updated every so often to include the latest finds. But for now, 4039. Enable Aero glass… Read more →
Longhorn.ms is getting a new look! We are working on a more organised style for the future. While the site under construction it is possible that some pages cannot be reached.
Hexadecimal notation
This quick introduction to hex was originally to be part of another article, but became quite long and therefore I decided to separate it. Even though it doesn't have anything to do with Longhorn in particular I believe it will be worth the read. A bit of binary to begin with At its core, a computer can only distinguish… Read more →
Virtual development
Ever looked at a Windows build list and wondered what all those different tags mean? Or did you ever wonder about the production process of Windows? If yes, you've just clicked the correct article. This article will elaborate on the Windows build process as used during the pre-reset Longhorn development. Please note that even though I've conducted rigorous research, not all… Read more →
While exploring Longhorn builds you might have noticed these weird spelling mistakes in the Windows branding like; "onghornLay rofessionalPay" and wondered whether one of the developers had a breakdown while typing this. In this article I will elaborate on the exact purpose of the "onghornLay" branding. Backstory Up until Longhorn, Microsoft had been creating Windows with hard-coded strings spread… Read more →
Aurora & Aero
Aurora is one of the eye-candy features which is best represented in Milestone 7 builds. Using the powerful Avalon presentation engine, Longhorn was able to draw fancy animations, like Aurora, without any significant performance hit on the processor. Aurora in the preview panel was first shown at the PDC 2003 conference when a private build was showcased. At first sight many… Read more →
.NET framework
A significant part of Longhorn is written in managed C#. Taskbar, sidebar, preview pane… it's all .NET. I thought it would be interesting to know the mechanics behind this framework, so here we go: an article solely about .NET. Of course, first we need to write our program in a .NET language. When the time has come to test the application… Read more →
Activation cracks
Run Microsoft's Windows "Longhorn" today using these activation cracks for each build. Simply replace the "winlogon.exe" in your System32 folder with the copies contained in the ZIP below. There are two ways to do this. The first is to replace it from within the Windows install itself. This will mean that your Longhorn installation must be fully functional first. You… Read more →
Out-of-box experience
With the new image-based installation introduced in Milestone 4 it was also time for a revamped out-of-box experience (OOBE) wizard. The first build to feature the image-based install and new OOBE wizard is build 4001. After a brief time loading at the 'Please wait…' page you will find yourself at the WelcomePage where you will be welcomed to the wizard. On the next… Read more →
At WinHEC 2003 Microsoft revealed that Longhorn would be build from the ground up from a list of components. Already before this time various people at Microsoft had stated that Longhorn would be the first 'modular' operating system. But what does this all mean? I'll try my best to get clear what componentising really is. Bits and bobs Basically,… Read more →
64-bit Windows
If you ever bothered to take a look at one of the 64-bit Longhorn compiles, you may have noticed that these builds are extremely empty and lack, for example, the sidebar. There's a good reason why these compiles lack lots of features the x86 Longhorn compiles did have. A new architecture When the development of Longhorn began the 64-bit processors… Read more →
My TV and Movies
The My TV and Movies library becomes visible when using the Media Center Edition (Freestyle) variant of some Longhorn builds. The My TV and Movies library is a media application for recording and watching TV. The application is an Avalon container and is opened in Internet Explorer by the Avalon Shell Handler. The container itself includes a couple of dll and BAML… Read more →
Avalon Display Panel
Only two builds, build 3683 and build 4093 have a working, accessible Display Properties control panel, out of the box. These two Avalon display panels are extremely different in construction, and it is entirely possible that the two are the result of two entirely different development efforts, baring no connection beyond their function and underlying technology. Later Milestone 3 builds can… Read more →
Diskpart is a command line tool that'll let you manage disks in Windows. Diskpart comes in more than handy when installing Longhorn since numerous Longhorn WinPEs have trouble formatting disks themselves. On this page you will find a brief description on how to use this tool to partition a disk for installing Longhorn and a little extra. In any WinPE… Read more →
The Longhorn Startpage is a feature present in Milestone 3 builds. The startpage appears to be an early attempt at replacing the OOBE (Out-Of-Box Experience) that these builds carry over from Windows XP. Already in build 3683 we can catch a glimpse of the startpage, be it in a very early stage. The code for the startpage can be found… Read more →

Socialite Paris Hilton is known for her love of animals and is particularly taken by her new miniature hordes. She said: "I have a little baby pony, really tiny – it has blonde hair and blue eyes. It was a gift."
As well as the pony, Paris owns seven other species of animals because she loves having "crazy" pets. She explained: "I bought this exotic pet, a kinkajou. I've also bought some jungle cats, and a monkey. I've bought a lot of crazy animals because I love pets.
"My dog had babies so there were 17 but I gave them all away so now I only have six. A couple of Chihuahuas, a pub and a Pomeranian. "I also have a parrot, three black squirrels and three cats."
Paris' business empire spans 17 product lines and 35 stores but she insists she is not a ruthless businesswoman. She told FHM magazine: "No, I'm not ruthless, I'm a great boss. I don't yell at anybody ever."

Quick Reference
French scholar, theologian, and philosopher. His independence of mind brought him into frequent conflict with the authorities and led to his being twice condemned for heresy. He lectured in Paris until 1118. While in Paris he began a tragic love affair with one of his pupils, Héloïse, who was a niece of Fulbert, a canon of Notre‐Dame. At Fulbert's instigation Abelard was subsequently castrated. Abelard then entered a monastery and made Héloïse become a nun. Abelard continued his controversial teaching, applying reason to questions of faith, notably to the doctrine of the Trinity. In the early 1130s he and Héloïse put together a collection of their love letters and other correspondence, which was published in 1616. Abelard and Héloïse are buried together in Paris.

I would like to look at some mathematically-based activities with a deck of cards,
and understand what underlies them. Here are a couple that you might think about:
(a) ten pairs of cards are placed faced upon a table, and the subject is asked to select
one of them, but to keep the selection a secret; the cards are then picked up and dealt
into four rows of five cards each. The subject is asked to indicate the row(s) in which
the two selected cards appear. Thereupon, the dealer is able to identify the selected pair.
(b) The cards from 1 to 10 inclusive are placed in order in a fan that is presented
upside-down to the subject. The subject then is allowed to perform, as frequently as
desired, and in any order, the following two operations:
(i) the deck is cut, and the top part transferred to the bottom;
(ii) a consecutive pair of cards is grasped, turned over and put back in the same position
(with the card on the left going on the right, and vice versa, and a card showing its back
now showing its spot, and vice versa).
At the end, the dealer conceals the deck under the table, does something, and then shows the
deck, now having the odd cards facing in one direction (up or down) and the even in the other.
What did the dealer do, and why does it work? Other tricks of greater complexity will be shown,
and participants are welcome to bring along some of their own.

This set began as a funny drawing for a card I wanted to make for my brother. He's a little bit younger than me and loves to remind me of that every birthday... especially those "big" ones we all dread! Well, he turned 40 this year so it was the perfect opportunity to get some of my own back. Can you guess which image and sentiment I used??

MSC Poesia Cruise Photos
From: MSC Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Review
Izmir, Turkey
On Tuesday morning (day 4 of our MSC Eastern Mediterranean cruise), MSC Poesia arrived in the Bay of Izmir. It was a brilliantly sunny day, and the suburbs on the surrounding hills were blanketed by an ultraviolet haze.
Izmir--known as Smyrna or Smirne in the Hellenic era--is a mostly modern city these days, although its Agora ruins (which we'll show later in this photo gallery) are well worth visiting. Izmir is the third-largest population center in Turkey, with 2.6 million city residents and nearly 3.8 million in the metropolitan area.

Building the Marstall
After the end of the Hippodrom following Sepp Krätz' trial for tax evasion, the Marstall will give its debut at the Oktoberfest.Curiosity is rising among Oktoberfest fans and officials, as the Marstall tent by Siegfried Able is about to open its doors for the first time at this year's Oktoberfest.
Until recently only sketches of the design of the new tent were available, but now, as the tent grows, more and more details become visible. The central theme will be horses - not surprising, as Marstall ist the old German word for the luxurious stables at royal courts.
See the most recent pictures of the Marstall in our gallery.
