Lower Bitterbrush Trail
Lower Bitterbrush (we've divided the trail into two sections here, because of the very Jekyll and Hydeian nature of these two sections and because they meet the Antelope Trail right where things change) is an awesome technical trail to sharpen your skills before heading out on a trip to Moab! The Lower Bitterbrush Trail is marked with the blood and broken derailleurs of a generation of riders. If you are an advanced rider or want to be one, this is your playground! Before I go further, I think it's best to recall that whole "discretion is the better part of valor" thing (bet you weren't expecting a Shakespeare quote on a trails site, were you?). This trail is HARD, but there aren't really many surprises here. If something looks too tough for you to try today - don't. Very few riders can "clean" this trail and those that do often wreck trying. Have fun, ride hard, be careful! Heading up this trail is the ultimate interval workout where you will go from maximum effort 20 ft climb to maximum effort 20ft climb with about 10ft of flat recovery for a good section of this trail.
The Lower Bitterbrush starts at the Bitterbrush trailhead and seems innocuous enough at the beginning. Head out of the west end of the parking lot up a short section of newly restored trail that winds around big boulders heading north. Enjoy the smooth singletrack as the trail then heads west again and crosses a maintenance road. The first rocky section begins shortly. From here, the trail winds up a gnarly rock garden for close to a mile that will either make you smile from ear to ear or need to change your shorts depending on your comfort level with riding up big rocks, through narrow cracks, over roots, and up steep slopes.
You know you are coming to the top when you get to a prairie dog town. In the spring, this is a great place for wildflowers (thanks to the prairie dogs that help disperse seeds and prep the landscape for wildflowers!). The top of the hill has a bench on it, so feel fee to stop for a snack. Lower Bitterbrush only continues for a couple hundred more yards down a stepped (with rock steps spaced far, so easy to ride) trail down to the intersection of Antelope and Upper Bitterbrush.
Coming back down:
Lower Bitterbrush is a blast to ride down! It's a killer full-body workout keeping your bike upright over the interesting rock obstacles out there. Be careful about getting too much air here: this descent has claimed more than one rear rim of mine as I landed pointy rocks that make great tacos! Because the trail is so jankety and because so many people use it, always keep your eyes forward and your speed way under control. Keep your butt back over the rear wheel and enjoy the trip down.

With the analogue signal now switched off in Adelaide, if your old TV does not work and won't connect to a set top box, don't dump it on the curb and risk a fine - recycle it for free.
- Print page

- Permalink
As part of a new industry funded program to recycle and re-use old CRT televisions, computer monitors and computer parts, there are now several places throughout Adelaide that will accept them without charge.
With many older cathode-ray-tube televisions ending up in hard rubbish or broken and shattered while waiting for collection in curb side waste, as part of the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme, several collection points throughout Adelaide have been established in a bid to help recycle and reuse our old TVs.
For Zero Waste SA program manager Erin Henson, encouraging people to recycle their old TVs is just the first option for those looking to either upgrade over the holiday period or get ready for the analogue signal shutdown.
"You don't necessarily need a new TV as the digital switch over comes," Erin explained.
She encouraged people to investigate the much cheaper cost of a digital set-top box, or even seeing if friends or relatives could use the television before throwing it away.
"One of the things with TVs and computers is that they contain hazardous and valuable materials, so we don't want that out on the curb and in the environment."
TVs dropped off for recycling are processed at a local plant in Gepps Cross, E-Cycle Recovery.
Managing director Michelle Morton said the plant processed around 65,000 televisions and computer monitors each year, employing up to 24 local people in the process.
"What we do here is we manually disassemble electronic and electrical items," Michelle said.
Recycled in a controlled environment, materials such as copper, aluminium, gold, silver and palladium are removed without scattering dangerous materials such as mercury, arsenic, lead and broken glass onto our footpaths.
"When they dismantle them on the curb side and they break open the tube they create a risk for the public in terms of broken glass and broken materials, but also they expose all of the phosphor dust that is within every single television set."
Recycled materials can be used in a variety of new purposes, with the CRT glass treated and sent to manufacturers building new CRT televisions for developing countries.
"At the moment they can use 97 percent of our recycled material [in new sets]."
Currently there are six centres operated as free collection points for old televisions, with local councils and new centres being added to the Zero Waste SA website.
You can also call the Recycle Right hotline on 1300 137 118 for further information.

Are you excited to start a family but have absolutely zero idea why is it just not happening? If you are a male who is sexually active and having a good romantic life, but unable to get lucky being a father then you might be infertile. I know many men reading this article will stop right here or some men might take the efforts to keep reading till they find it is not bothering them so much. To all those men out there, I want to share something. Yes, there is a thing called male infertility and infertile men do exist. There is nothing to be ashamed of it or feel less manly about it. It is all similar to a woman suffering from fertility issues.
Studies have concluded that in most of the cases, the male partner is accountable for not having a baby. In the United States, if the statistics to be believed, male infertility affects almost 10 million men. And a large chunk of this population just not ready to accept this bitter fact. This article will provide you a brief insight on the not-so-talked issue in depth and will also educate you about the treatment options available.
Here are the most common reasons that are responsible for causing male infertility:
It develops when the vein in the scrotum area swells and enlarges in size. This condition is known to affect the motility of sperms and also reduces the sperm count. Needless to say, it is a major reason for male infertility.
Low Sperm Count
It is one of the most common reasons for male impotence. 20 million sperms per one milliliter of semen indicate a healthy sperm count. However, when it gets reduced to 10 million sperms or fewer than that, your chances increases to develop fertility issues.
Abnormal Testicular Development
This condition develops when the normal X and Y chromosomes transform as two X and one Y. It is genetic and often runs in the family. Abnormally developed testicles show low sperm production and low production of testosterone hormone which contribute in the male infertility.
Abnormal Shape and Motility of Sperm
Motility is a sperm's ability to move and swim toward the egg. When the man is having a genetic trouble and due to which he is not able to produce healthy sperms with greater motility, he might suffer from male infertility problems.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are responsible for affecting the quality of sperm. These infections also block the pathway for sperms to reach the egg.
Apart from that, erectile dysfunction condition also triggered infertility but you can sustain erection with the help of drug like Generic Viagra 100mg. It is a safe medication and only available after the prescription from a doctor.
How to treat male infertility
The treatment depends on what has caused male infertility. If it has developed due to Varicocele, then surgery is recommended. If it is because of infections then it has to be treated with antibiotics. In certain cases, hormonal replacement therapies work. When nothing gives hope, the last option is IVF (in vitro fertilization). It does not cure the illness but it helps couples achieve pregnancy even if the male partner's sperm count is very low.

Captain's Report
By Capt. Rob Smith
On the stern
This model is designed for the latest four stroke engines, like the Honda 90 hp EFI. On the stern, you have room to cast, and without the casting chair, it is easy to move from port to starboard working fish. Stability at the stern is terrific. I was moving around checking her out and felt comfortable even when relaxing with my foot balanced on the gunwales and picking up gear on the docks. Two dry boxes in the stern will keep your gear and life jackets handy. Access to the mechanicals, pumps, batteries, etc. is across the aft end of the stern platform. The fish box is a carry-over from the northern market that southerners will appreciate. The 50" combination pitch box/livewell/baitwell gives you tons of room regardless of the type of fish you seek. The stern platform measured about 40" deep and nearly the width of the beam.In the cockpit
The 171 Pro Bass is typical of most bass rigs I have been on. Three across seating with a fold-down center seat for easy access to and from the stern. There is a little storage under it, not much. I am not a small guy, so I felt a bit snug at the helm. I didn't feel like I had freedom of movement in the footwell and the throttle didn't go into full reverse freely as my hip was in the way. Both of these things are simple enough to get used to, just my observation from the driver's seat. The instruments were positioned well for good visibility, and the low profile windshield offered reasonable protection to the driver. The cockpit measured about 31" by the width of the beam, with a cockpit depth or interior height of 18".On the bow
The bow casting deck offers 67" by 72" of freedom, and a base to mount a casting chair. The 171 Pro Bass is pre-rigged for trolling motors and has a tilt switch to pick up the big motor when you are ready to begin trolling for the lunkers in the lake. Trolling motor batteries for the 24 volt system are spread between two bow dry boxes to maintain weight and balance. The cranking battery is in the stern aft compartment.
My test rig was set up with a Motor Guide 46 with a tethered foot control that worked quite well. The bow light is stowed in a clip up front so you don't have to dig under all your gear in the bow storage boxes as the sun goes down. The center locker is designed to stow your rods and is lockable to make sure they are still in there after you go in for your coffee in the mornings on your way to the ramp.Specifications
The 171 Pro Bass is 17'10" length overall with a beam of 6'9". She tips the scales at 1075 lbs. dry without engine. She has a fuel capacity of 21 gallons and is rated for up to 90 hp outboards. Maximum weight capacity is 1225 lbs. Bottom and side gauge is 0.100 aluminum, all welded.Conclusions
The 171 Pro Bass was easy to drive and responsive. In my opinion, this model is a good choice for those fishermen wanting some of the same creature features of the professional anglers, yet in a package that is affordable, durable and practical in their driveway.

Tea Party and other conservative groups appearing before the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday detailed the delays, "burdensome" requests and "intimidation" they felt from interactions with the Internal Revenue Service during the application process for tax-exempt status.
The hearing also surfaced the names of employees of the nine-member Cincinnati Office where applications for 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) status were centralized three years before the scandal erupted surrounding apparent targeting of groups based on their names and political rhetoric. And a witness representing the National Organization for Marriage said one IRS employee committed a felony in leaking a list of his group's donors.
"We … know that Americans were affected by the culture of political intimidation and discrimination that was cultivated by this targeting," said committee Chairman Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., in convening the hearing. "At its core, this investigation is about how and why the IRS was empowered and allowed to use a broken tax code to abuse individuals based on their beliefs -- and seemingly only based on their beliefs….For pursuing that passion, for simply exercising their First Amendment rights -- the freedoms of association, expression and religion, the IRS singled them out."
Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., the ranking member, offered an apology "to the individuals testifying before us, the organizations they represent, and all the others who were caught up in this malfeasance."
Levin asked for a nonpartisan approach focusing on reforming and clarifying procedures for determining which "social welfare" groups deserve tax-exempt status. After reviewing the "progress" over the past several weeks in restaffing high levels of the IRS, Levin asked the panel to avoid "conjecture" and keep in mind "key facts" from the May report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
He noted that 202 applications out of the 298 set aside for special scrutiny, did not contain the words "Tea Party," "9/12" or "Patriots."
Levin also cited a compendium released last week by the trade publisher Tax Analysts breaking down the 176 advocacy organizations that the IRS reported as having been approved for tax-exempt status as of May 9. Tax Analysts research found that 46 of the groups had the key words in their name, 76 were other conservative organizations, 48 were non-conservative organizations, and six organizations' leanings could not be determined.
Witnesses from the targeted nonprofit groups -- ranging from anti-abortion activists, to promoters of great books to critics of big government to opponents of same-sex marriage -- described the "chilling effect" of dealing with an IRS out to "harass" them and that is "intolerant" of their views.
Kevin Kookogey, founder and president of the Tennessee-based Linchpins of Liberty, which mentors high school and college students on great books, told of waiting 29 months for the IRS to grant 501(c)(3) status and losing out on a $30,000 grant because of the uncertainty. "I've since been dormant out of absolute fear that government had a target on my back," he said.
Becky Gerritson, president of the Wetumpka Tea Party in Alabama, which formed in 2008 to oppose a "government out of control" with spending on bailouts during the financial crisis, said she had sent the IRS its $850 fee with an application, waited 459 days and was then asked to provide 90 pieces of additional information. "They wanted to identify our volunteers, asked who had run for offices, and wanted copies of all our speeches. We knew we were being targeted, so we retained counsel," Gerritson said. Tax-exempt status was given in July 2012, after 635 days.
A similar story was voiced by Dianne Belsom of the Laurens County Tea Party in South Carolina, who said the process "took hours of time, stress, aggravation" and she still has not won status. "We're a small-time operation with very little money, so it was a complete waste of time for IRS in terms of what money they would collect," she said. Responding to lawmakers questions about reforms, Belsom said she had not read the inspector general's report.
Sue Martinek of the Coalition for Life of Iowa said her donors would not give if she didn't have 501(c)(3) status, and that an IRS employee named Mrs. Richards told her the agency would grant the status only if her group agreed to stop picketing Planned Parenthood.
John C. Eastman, a law professor at Chapman University who chairs the board of the National Organization for Marriage, said his experience with the IRS made him fear that other agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the FBI might target him.
"Imagine our shock and disgust," he said, in discovering his donor list-submitted to the IRS with a 990 form -- posted on the website of his political opponent, the Human Rights Campaign, which advocates same-sex marriage. "Felonies were committed, that's a $5,000 fine and five years in prison," he said, explaining that his computer staff "delayered" the posted document and uncovered an IRS stamp that appears only on documents being processed inside the agency. He linked the Human Rights Campaign to the Obama presidential campaign.
Eastman said his Freedom of Information Act inquiries to IRS and TIGTA produced no indicators to identify the person responsible, prompting Levin to note that J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general, had previously testified that disciplinary action had taken place.
Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., asked Eastman whether the solution to the IRS misconduct might be to remove its responsibility for determining whether "charitable organizations are being used to get people elected." Eastman replied, "If we get rid of all tax-exempt status and create a level playing field, that would be fine." Mentioned in oral and written testimony were names of IRS staff in Cincinnati corresponding or talking by phone with the nonprofits, including Robert Choi, Nancy Marks, Sheila May Robinson, Ron Bell, Joseph Herr, Holly Paz and Stephen Seok. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., proposed that all be interviewed or called to testify.
The debate over the IRS scandal continued its political flavor. Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., noted that such controversy goes back to previous administrations, telling the witnesses that "none of your organizations were kept from organizing or silenced -- we're talking about whether or not American taxpayers will subsidize your work," he said. "If you didn't come in and ask for a tax break, you would never have a question asked of you. Republicans are looking for a conspiracy where there isn't one."
That prompted Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to rebut, pointing to the witnesses and saying with sarcasm, "So, you're to blame! The facts we now know are that these people were signaled out for their beliefs."
Meanwhile, the IRS announced another addition to its newly formed management reform team under acting commissioner Danny Werfel. Heather Maloy will become the new deputy commissioner for services and enforcement, moving over from heading the agency's Large Business and International Division.

Is it Spring yet? Just hearing 'Polar Vortex' sets me shivering and shaking. Brrrr ... I'm ready for Spring. Thank goodness Spring has already arrived in Second Life, and it's glorious. In springtime, I love wandering the forests of Opar, my country estate. For in the mists rolling down its wooded mountains, faeries hide and play.
Click on the pictures to enlarge them for better viewing.
Faeries wear wings and nothing more. But, alas, fashion calls for something more. And modesty too. And so does my mother. Well, I found a wonderful compromise at Blue Moon Enterprises Women Clothing. It's called Night Air. Its teasing yet graceful. It's night dark color gives it a touch of mystery. Not all faeries are innocent nor harmless. Night Air was designed by Solas (solasnagealai) and sells for L$350.
This now is my all time favorite self portrait. It's so very Mariko.
The hair I'm wearing is an adorably cute shag called Sakura. It's perfect for a pixie faerie. Sakura is available from ARGRACE and was designed by irka Oyen. It sells for L$250 per color and L$1500 for a nine color fat pack.

You are here
Meet the Concept BMW 4 Series Coupe
A moment's silence, if you please: a TG favourite, the BMW 3-Series Coupe, will soon be no more.
It will turn into the BMW 4-Series Coupe you see above.
Despite BMW's heritage of the coupe versions of its saloon cars bearing evenly badged numbers, Munich's smallest coupe has always shared the same nomenclature as its saloon brethren. So where the 6-Series is a swoopy 5, and the old 8-Series a swoopy 7, now we have the 4-Series as a svelte 3. Understand? Good.
It's a concept for now, but will make production soon. And its sporting intent is evident in the car's proportions: it's 50mm longer, 45mm wider up front and 80mm wider at the back than the current 3 Coupe, as well as being 16mm lower.
The front of the 4-Series is meant to echo the 3-Series 'family', but with some added grunt. To that effect, there are hexagonal LED headlights, with an 'optical fibre' that links the lights to that famous kidney grille. Underneath that, you've got a wide, gaping air intake - perhaps hinting at mega-power 4-Series of the future - that stretches right around to the flared wheel arches.
Move to the back, and you've got a wide, broad-shouldered rear with a similarly gaping rear apron and 'double-L' lights. Overall impressions? Like a 3 Coupe after a plyometrics course and a few protein shakes.
Inside, it is familiar 3-Series territory, but with fine detailing. So you get wood trim strips, tanned leather, hand-braided leather trim and even leather-covered cup holders.
So what about engines? BMW is remaining schtum at the moment, but we can expect the current 3-Series Coupe range to cross over, so you're looking at the magnificent 3.0-litre turbocharged sixer (435i), the 3.0-litre diesel (430d) and the 2.5-litre and 2.0-litre 425 and 420. It also means that when it arrives, the next two-door M3 will actually be called an M4, bringing an end to a whole lot of history.
Are the 4-Series Coupe's shoulders broad enough to take on that challenge? Let us know below…

Zabi Kon Climber's Log
Ivona - Aug 15, 2010 3:18 pm Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2010East ridge-twice
Great route which offers solid rock,many rock steps and hugde exposition!Not so difficult as I expected.I managed to lead first part of the route.Wonderful feeling!The last 2 pitches climbed in very bad weather conditions,a little rain made the rock more slippery,thunders in the background which came faster than we expected according to weathear forecast.We had to harry and rappel very fast from the top in extremely strong wind.
Fortunatelly the real storm came when we were at safe path.Unforgetable experience and day.Climbed with Dawid.
second time by the same route 04.09.2011
-route worth of coming back.Just pure pleasure!Perfect weather.
Climbed in female team with Natalia
mooliczek - Jun 15, 2010 3:13 pm Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010East Ridge
Beautiful route. Psychologically, might be quite demanding: you're staying at all time fully exposed from practically every side. Technically not very difficult, except of a very few places where a moment of reflection might be useful. Offers pretty views from the top.
Descent by rappelling along the West ridge.
Climbed with Jck and Igi in a very nice weather.
jck - Jun 13, 2010 8:02 am Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010Traverse: E-W
Took the classic traverse: climbed up by the East ridge and rappeled by the West. Huge exposition, solid rock, nice weather, nobody on the route. Another nice day in the Tatras.
Climbed with Ania (Mooliczek) and Igor (Igi)
EQUUS - Jul 17, 2009 4:06 pm Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2009Great exposition
Great, permanent exposition made impression on me.
KRZYS - Jul 14, 2009 7:11 am Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2013New route, south face
31.10.2013 Haberlein
Route doesn't worth such approach, however always big love for Zabiak.
July 2013 - New route
South face, 'Into the wild', 3 pitches - second in the delightful overhang - one of the most beautiful pitch I've ever done in Tatras, OS, using pitons, tricams, friends, rocks, double 60m genesis rope. Rock difficult about VI+. In memory of Artur Hajzer.
E-W traverse 13.07.2009
Interesting, exposed route. Fortunately, we had a pleasant, partly sunny weather. Return by the west ridge and Tylkowa Pass. Impressive views.

General Mills, it appears, is on a roll. First it released its gluten-free Chex, then it unveiled those Betty Crocker gluten-free Baking Mixes, next it expanded its line of gluten-free Chex to include six flavors and now, as Gluten-Free Philly first reported Saturday, gluten-free Kix?
Well, almost, a customer service representative told me today. Kix has been reformulated so that it no longer contains oats. However, the company has decided not to specifically label Kix gluten free nor claim it to be so, as cross-contamination is still a possibility. I've contacted a media representative for more information, particularly about whether production lines are washed between runs of gluten-containing and gluten-free products. This type of practice is pretty standard with a large company like General Mills, and it would most likely allow many on a gluten-free diet to add Kix to their breakfast cereal options. Expect more updates in the next few days, and while you're waiting to know for sure, you can already eat gluten-free cereals from 20+ brands, according to the Grocery Guide.

sparrowandvine needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 218 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
The Wine Point
I'm a small wine retailer with a store and website where I offer a selection of wines under my own brand.
The key to this offering is that I purchase the wine direct from established small wineries, as unlabelled or "cleanskin" bottles. I then label these in store under the various regions and styles.
This way I can offer high quality boutique wines at a much lower price than the branded product. I also operate the store as a sort of cellar door operation, offering tastings to help sell the product.
The business has been trading for 6 years and has a very good reputation with the media and by customers for offering high quality wines at very good prices.
You can get an idea of the business at the website here. http://www.thewinepoint.com.au
In essence I'm trying to create a logo/ label that reflects my brand. Quality and value but not cheap!
The labels need to balance the offering - this is a value proposition wine - but they also have to look smart. I want to see these bottles happily taken to restaurants and dinner parties.
I have an existing customer base who know the shop and trust me.
My exisiting customers are generally quite wine aware, male and female even split and aged from mid 20's to 60's. I'm looking at expanding this market and bringing in customers who are more perhaps more interested in the asthetic as in the way the wine tastes .
My word of mouth marketing has been very strong, I'd like the new label to expand on that.
Ok what I need:
The business name brand is
"The Wine Point".
I need 2 label templates, 1 for white wine the other for red. (though if you are feeling creative I would also explore the concept of having different gradiants of colours, to indicate the weight of the wine ie: lighter red for lighter wine styles, dark ready for heavy. Say 3 shades for white, 3 for red).
The label needs to state the brand name and a logo that is different look to the current one. I've attached a file that I currently use as a template. This is just to show text etc required. I'm looking for a change from this look!!
For practical (hand labelling reasons) It needs to be a single label. Labels need to be no higher than 10cm. Width can be up to 14cm. Am flexible within those parameters.
Printing will be on gloss white stock. Text needs to be editable. Final artwork as CS3 pdf or eps. Labels no higher than 10cm. They need to fit on all bottle shapes.

IMO, it's far more interesting to create an actual interface for getting work done, rather than just "macro-izing" (a phrase which in this context sounds very 1980's ;) for instance, I think a good web interface to a cluster should offer leverage to all the usual functions of the cluster, but not try to dumb it down. for instance, it should have some kind of interface for navigating directory trees. it should probably have something like a collection of "favorites" buttons that map to apps selectable from a PATH list. it should probably have an interface which presents a vaguely shell-like typescript, even if there are buttons and widgets and file icons in it (not because I long for serial terminals, but because getting work done is a cronological thing, and it's valuable to see what you've done.) some kind of combination of wiki, CMS and gui shell. I don't know whether anyone has done something like this (I haven't yet.) I find in myself some reluctance to do this. partly because making clusters ssh+commandline is a minor hurdle that probably keeps a certain level of naive/random/bored people out of the cluster. partly it's also a traditional distrust of web security (versus ssh-only clusters). both of these are mostly silly, of course. I would say that if you have a cluster which is used for a fairly limited number and scope of uses, it's a good candidate for web interfacing. note that this isn't quite the same issue as grid computing (which IMO mainly fails because computing _isn't_ a simple and standardizable commodity.) regards, mark hahn.

There used to be some truly dreadful people who worked at the University of Nizwa, Foundation Institute and they have been removed. They made the place miserable to the best of their ability and those of us who have remained at UNIZWA are a MUCH happier lot since they went. Some of them are still posting the most ridiculous rubbish about the Foundation Institute in the hope that they will discourage other teachers who are looking for jobs in Oman from applying there. As adults all know, no workplace is perfect and we have our challenges to overcome just like any other place. But nowadays, we have a great team of teachers and group leaders in our department. We mostly all work well together to do our jobs. We help each other and though we work hard many of us enjoy each other's company outside the job. Our students are of varied abilities especially as the Sultan has recently handed out a lot of scholarships to students who want to attend tertiary education all over Oman. All the schools in Oman are full of these students as a result. Many have been given an opportunity to have an educational experience and perhaps 50% will rise to the occasion, we shall see. Nevertheless, our students are a joy. They are lively, fun-loving, so open to taking on this challenge and many are keen as mustard to really learn and develop themselves. So, I do hope that those dreadful teachers who have been trying to poison the well will now say bad things so that this thread may be locked. The University of Nizwa is imperfect as are many of the other schools where esl/efl teachers can work. But I personally love the teachers I work with and think the students, though often frustrating, are great kids. My class time is my favorite time in this job. Our managers are basically decent Omani people who do try. Many of us have a jolly good time on the job. Part of the year is bloody difficult but that is balanced out by some really easy times and long holidays. If you are a strong person with a good sense of humor, can always make the best of any situation, have tolerance for other cultures, get on with it when others are crumbling and enjoy some adventure, then this would be a good place to spend a couple of years - or more if it is a good match for you. Some advice, don't pay any attention to the rubbish that has been put out about UNIZWA. Consider the source. MOD EDIT: Title edited.

It makes me wonder becaise if you read the boards you will see a lot of posts telling you to avoid Buraimi U. (written by teachers who were not hired or quickly fired within their probation in most cases). Basically nearly everyone who was with us last year resigned which tells you something. Two people left to go back to school and one or two others weren't re-signed by ELS. But if it's so bad why would so many re-sign. For example only one teacher from ELS Sharqiyah stayed. Everyone else fled which tells you something about Sharqiyah last year. Getting back to my point... if a few ex Nizwa teachers are here and say that it is better here so how bad must Nizwa be?

Now that I have another job, and am on to my 3rd year, happily, I realize how truly perverse the place was (that it was the place, and not me, that was negative and miserable). Nizwa is the end of the road- and this could be a good thing for people of honest good-will. Unfortunately, the U has too many people who are utterly unemployable elsewhere, or feel stuck there by some circumstances. This breeds ill will and desperation. If people minded their own business and did their jobs, and if the management let them, it could be a good experience for all- including the students. I have seen bad damage done to good people by the manipulations of some there. Too often this has been done under the guise of "helping the students"- when in fact people are helping their poor damaged self- esteem. Unfortunately, from all I have heard, my advice is to keep way- there are still some rather toxic personalities haunting the halls- and they aren't all management. There are good, albeit not perfect, jobs to be had. My current job has been really good and I quite like the people I work with. This is how a job should be. It is imperative, to me, to be able to trust my bosses and my co-workers. I had too many I could not trust at Nizwa.

Something seems to have happened back in the early '90s between former Mickey Mouse Club-ers Tony Lucca and Christina Aguilera to trigger some bad blood. She was one of the youngins when he was one of the senior principles on the show (remember, he totally had something going with Felicity Keri Russell!), so maybe he bullied her a bit? Who knows, but there has to be a reason Xtina harbors bitterness against Lucca, because this season on The Voice, she's been really hard on him.
Side note: I still can't believe he's a contestant. What does that say about his pathetic non-career? Well, if he did anything remotely hurtful to her in the past, I could see why Christina would be gloating now ...
Anyway, Christina's tough treatment aside, Tony's the one who should feel ashamed.
For his final performance last night, the former Mouseketeer performed Jay-Z's "99 Problems," which, if you're not familiar, includes the line: "I got 99 problems, but a b*tch ain't one." Huh. Oh, he's not bitter at all, right?! And I wouldn't be surprised if Christina felt like that lyric was directed at her. Doesn't seem to me that it was a mistake, a coincidence, or intended to mean something else -- that's for sure. Even if it was, it was still wrong. As Christina put it in her critique for Tony:
Tonight you came here with your beautiful wife and daughter and family, and I just thought the lyrical connotation was a little derogatory toward women.
Right on.
Now, to be fair, the song was chosen not by Lucca (reportedly), but by his coach, Adam Levine, who we all know to be an immature tool. Someone who I'm sure wouldn't have any problem stirring up drama and attempting to stick it to Xtina with a jab like this. And that's just as lame as Tony's attempt to tabloid/blog headline himself (back?) to relevancy. Tsk, tsk. Sad.
No matter how much grief she gave him, Grammy Award-winning diva Christina Aguilera is in a completely different universe than nobody Tony Lucca. He should have been kissing the ground she walks on. Sure, enduring what he has had to be a huge blow to his ego, but he's the one who signed up for a reality singing competition show. Too bad he felt he had to resort to that song choice -- or even just agree to it. It's certainly not going to win him any fans.
Here's his performance, if you missed it ...
Do you agree Tony overstepped or did Christina have it coming?

Scientists have been observing changes in the climate that cannot be attributed solely to natural influences. These changes are occurring rapidly, are significant, and will have consequences for this and future generations. Changes in climate variability and extremes driven by human-induced climate change are some of the key challenges facing humanity.
WMO supports climate policy-making by providing authoritative advice and information on climate change mitigation and adaptation. WMO draws from the best available scientific expertise from the National Hydrological and Meteorological Services of its Members, and international data centres and agencies. Moreover, WMO promotes a better understanding of the societal impacts of climate change within the United Nations system.
Regional Climate Outlook Forums (RCOFs) produce consensus-based, user-relevant climate outlook products in real time through regional cooperation and partnership in order to reduce climate-related risks and support sustainable development for the coming season in sectors of critical socioeconomic significance for the region in question.
World Meteorological Day takes place every year on 23 March and commemorates the coming into force on 23 March 1950 of the Convention establishing the World Meteorological Organization. It showcases...
The ever-growing global population faces a wide range of hazards such as tropical cyclone storm surges, heavy rains, heatwaves, droughts and many more. Long-term climate change is increasing the intensity...
Since 1961, the World Meteorological Organization has been celebrating World Meteorological Day with a different theme selected for each year.
The WMO Global Campus is a collaborative network of institutions and National Meteorological Hydrological Services involved in the development and delivery of education and training in meteorology, climatology, hydrology and other related sciences. It is built on the synergies, sharing and cooperation between these institutions and will address global priorities and the growing and changing requirements and needs for learning in the community.
Weather, climate and water impact on agriculture and fisheries, energy, transport, health, insurance, sports, tourism and many more socio-economic sectors. WMO promotes the application of meteorological, climatological, hydrological and oceanographic information in all human activities.
When it comes to the weather and climate, most of us think only about what is happening in the atmosphere. If we ignore the ocean, however, we miss a big piece of the picture: covering some 70% of the Earth's surface, the ocean is a major driver of the world's weather and climate.

EXCLUSIVEKareem Abdul-Jabbar's kids charity is a sham ... a front to swindle cash ... this according to a new lawsuit.
Julien's Auctions claims it struck a deal to sell Abdul-Jabbar's marquis memorabilia -- championship rings, jerseys, the works.
Deborah Morales, Kareem's manager and longtime personal friend, negotiated with Julien's and -- as part of the deal -- she allegedly got them to donate $300K to the famed bballer's Skyhook Foundation charity.
Julien's says after it forked over the cash, it discovered Skyhook was not in the charity business at all. It was a front to pad the pockets of Skyhook's mucky mucks ... according to the lawsuit.
Julien's wants Morales to return its $300k and punitive damages to boot.
BTW ... Kareem is NOT named as a defendant.
We've reached out to reps for Kareem, Skyhook, and Morales -- but haven't yet heard back.
Looks like Kareem will be forced to get back on defense.

Subject: Re: [SI-LIST] : Bus Design Methodology in SpectraQuest
Hello Vinh,
probably it's all well-known, nevertheless a quick recap of the differences
common clock designs vs source synchronous (aka clock forwarding).
In a common-clock situation an external clock signal is delivered to the
and each receiver. Once the driver sees the clock signal (and a certain
called clock-to-output aka Tco has passed) it sends the data signal on the
Once the receiver sees the clock signal (and the setup time has passed), the
data signal needs to be available at the receiver for at least the receiver
time. Of course, all of this has to happen within one clock period.
All this comes down to what's known as 'timing-budgeting', for all
pathes and all load-conditions these two statements have to be true:
Tflight(min) < Clock Period - Driver(Tco(max)) - Skew - Jitter - Crosstalk -
Tlight(min) > Receiver(Hold) - Driver(Tco(min)) + Skew + Jitter + Crosstalk
(Crosstalk here means the timing-shift because of crosstalk effects)
The values for Tco max/min, Receiver(Setup) and Receiver(Hold) can be taken
datasheets or timing models, Clock Period is a design parameter. Hence Tco
measured by the component vendor under a certain load condition (of course,
the output stage) and IBIS models the output-stage (including the delay of
the output
stage), we need to correct for not taking the output stage delay into
account twice.
This is done in the 'buffer delay measurements', the IBIS model should
contain the
exact buffer delay setup the component vendor used to measure Tco.
Now let's look at source synchronous. There's no more external clock, the
for synchronization is built into the driving device (and called 'strobe')
(well, RAMBUS
is using a slightly modified way, but the principles are still the same).
Since the
strobe signal is built into the driving device, there's no more Tco and no
more clock
skew. Acutally, the whole way of doing timing-budgeting (including
correcting for
buffer delay) is no more valid. Instead, we care about two things:
Data at receiver + Receiver(Hold) <= next strobe event at receiver
Data at receiver - Receiver(Setup) >= previous strobe event
(usually, both the rising and falling edge are used for clocking)
|______| |_ Strobe
____| |_____ Data
<-> Receiver(Setup)
<-> Receiver(Hold)
So two things, we need to assign a strobe signal (strobe pin) to data
signals and next,
we need to do 'relative measurements', comparing strobe and data signals at
receiver. (The SigXp 'Custom Measurements' and 'Set'-'Strobe Pins' can do
this job)
Additionally, you want to check the receiver signal at the die pad rather
than at the
component pin (margins usually are very tight) and you want to send not just
a rising
or falling edge throu your system but a much more complex bus pattern.
(Use the '_internal' nodes to measure at the die pads and use 'Custom
Stimulus' to
define the stimulus pattern.)
The constraints you're getting out of this analysis are pretty simple: It's
the maximum
skew between all data and the strobe lines (some matched length rule).
Vinh, I'm going to send you an example SigXp topology with all Strobes and
Custom Measurements defined off-line from the SI reflector.

The obnoxious fan on the sidelines is as endemic to sports as high-fives and butt-slaps. Fan scores great seats, takes advantage by making his or her voice heard. Players hear it, keep playing, even sometime engaging in a spirited back-and-forth with the fan.
But what happens when the paying customer goes too far? In Utah last night during the Heat-Jazz game, a fan found out:
Obviously more context is needed, but we do know a couple of things. This is Utah, known as one of the more raucous crowds in the league. Two, well, this is Utah. They don't take too many prisoners.
Dwyane Wade has probably heard everything at this point. Considering how eager he was for that fan to leave, one can only imagine what was exchanged between the two.

ninapa necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 62 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
With our new charity website donare.de everyone can raise money through activities like eg a running a marathon or in celebration of someone's birthday. People who want to do something for charity can create their own website and raise money for a charity of their choice. Then they would invite their friends to support them.
We would need a logo and would like to use the word 'donare.de' as the logo itself.
The word donare is Latin and means giving which describes quite well our mission statement. One option for the logo is to play with the "do". Kind of 'do donare'.
On the website we would need a main field for people who want to become active and build their own website to raise money. Also we would need a field for people who simply want to donate money and one section should be for charities which are interested in donare.de. Also we will have success stories and there should be a logins for each section.
A clean logo using the word 'donare.de'
Design for our homepage
Everything on the website should be quite easy to understand. Target group are people between 18 and 40 who are into sports and would like to do something charitable but rather the fun way. So it can look young and friendly but not too playful.

NYC Killer Nanny Indicted In Hospital Bed, Charged in 2 Deaths
NEW YORK CITY – The Manhattan nanny accused of brutally killing two children in their Upper West Side home was indicted on murder charges Wednesday.
The charges are in court records released Tuesday, The New York Times reported.
Six-year-old Lucia Krim and her 2-year-old brother, Leo, were killed Oct. 25. They were found by their mother when she came home with the victims' 3-year-old sister.
The 50-year-old nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, remains hospitalized with self-inflicted stab wounds, and police have said they don't know if Ortega has a lawyer.
She's expected to be arraigned via video. The hearing has not yet been scheduled.
Police say Ortega, who is a Dominican immigrant and a naturalized U.S. citizen, stabbed the two children in her care before trying to kill herself.
She had recovered enough from her wounds by Saturday to be interviewed by police in her hospital bed at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center. After the interview, she was formally charged with two counts each of first- and second-degree murder.
The couple's apartment building sits in one of the city's most idyllic neighborhoods, a block from Central Park, near the Museum of Natural History and blocks from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The neighborhood is home to many affluent families, and seeing children accompanied by nannies is an everyday part of life there.
Some of Ortega's friends and relatives said she appeared to be struggling emotionally and financially recently, but they still couldn't believe she could have committed such a heinous act.

The New Classics: Predicting Iconic Furniture for 2050
Posted by

View all posts by Becky
4 Comments »
I ate up the cover story on The New York Times' Home Section today; "The Classics, Circa 2050." For one thing, I'm always trying to determine what the new classics are (i.e. new furniture that will eventually gain icon status, today's equivalent of a mid-century icon like a Wegner Wishbone Chair or an Eames Shell Chair). Beyond aesthetics and one's own judgement, a sign that a piece may be well on its way to icon status is if it's a part of a museum's collection. Another when prominent architects choose to use it in their own homes.
Anyway, I was very pleased to see a handful of my favorite products that Design Public carries made the cut. Here they are:
The Louis Ghost Chair by Philippe Starck for Kartell (this probably inspired the most discussion)
The Emeco Navy Chair already had mid-century icon status in my book, now the experts are choosing the latest version, made from 111 recycled plastic bottles, the 111 Navy Chair.
Kartell scored again, with their Bourgie Lamp by Ferruccio Laviani
Vitra's Algue made the cut
Tod Boontje's Until Dawn Curtain made the cut, we love the way his botanical cuts look on the Midsummer Light
There were a few others I would have added to the list:
Sori Yanagi's Butterfly Stool, manufactured by Vitra
The Coral 600 Pendant Lamp by David Trubridge
Bend Seating Lucy by Gaurav Nanda
Blu Dot Modulicious Case Goods
Nobody asked me, by the way! But I'm asking you – Which recent furniture and accessories do you think will achieve icon status in 30 years? Keep in mind the process can involve becoming unpopular or passé for a decade or three and then re-appreciated later. Personally, I have trouble looking beyond chairs and lighting most of the time.

Doctor's Contacts - "Convenient Contacts you can Trust"
Doctor's Contacts is a new service for the patients of optometrists. We provide a portal for ordering contact lenses for direct delivery to one's home. It will be used by the members of a Canadian optometric buying group Doctor's Eyecare Network and will appear on hundreds of individual optometrist webpages.
The slogan says it all - "Convenient Contacts you can Trust". We are attempting to provide all the convenience and cost savings of services like 1-800-contacts without the un-easy feeling that one is taking the choice of a choosing prescription device into one's own hands.
Our audience is the patients of optometrists as well as the optometrists themselves.
For patients the winning logo will invoke a feeling of trust, happiness, quick delivery and simplicity of use. The typical online contact lens patient is 20-35 years old, hip and into social networking.
For optometrists the winning logo will invoke a degree of caring for ones patients, professionalism and friendly technology.
Please incorporate both the name of the company Doctor's Contacts and the slogan "Convenient Contacts you can Trust" into the logo.
I like images of with shapes of contact lenses, movement and networking.
I want to avoid eyeball logos (they're over-used and un-original in our field)
Here are several logo's that are almost there from the premade logo portion of the site. A good place to start is to modify some of these to be more contact-lens like.
Good luck! - ( I Can't wait to see what you come up with!)

Sounds like either the parted problem, or a driver issue. What does parted /dev/3TBlun/ print report where /dev/3TBlun is the device containing the 3TB lun? We had seen this behavior with some 1.6.9 and 1.7.x versions of parted.

When dealing with crazy you just can't respond as you would to a reasonable person. You have to be careful. I've seen crazy like the universe is wide and I have to support you in lying. Lying is 'not' always a bad thing. If it makes you feel better I will be skirting the subject with even my husband for over two years this March and I intend to skirt for another 6 or seven. That said, I hate lying, too. In this case it's for the greater good. We are not required to come out.
What are they gonna do? Send you to hell? (snicker- Please accept my levity in the positive spirit it was intended.) Good luck with the new teenager.

What a great example of a Nicklaus signature golf course in a secluded and protected natural setting in the Lowcountry of the southern tip of the Grand Strand.
Welcome to Pawleys Plantation Golf and Country Club.
What a great example of a Nicklaus signature golf course in a secluded and protected natural setting in the Lowcountry of the southern tip of the Grand Strand.
Pawleys Plantation is a player's course. This course is a rare design where extraordinary beauty combines with his masterful architecture to deliver an exceptional golf experience. Wide green fairways lead to subtle greens guarded by natural hazards like the Pawleys Island salt marsh and the barrier island beyond.
Opened in 1988, the 18-hole regulation course plays to par 72 and ranges from 5029 to 7026 yards. Golfers say they loved the interesting mix of holes in two distinct natural settings. Starting slowly with a relatively easy par 5 of 511 yards (484 from the whites), the front 9 meanders in a westerly direction through hardwood and pine forests. The back 9 beginning at #12 winds east out around the salt marsh.
Pawleys Plantation has a quiet southern-style charm that continues a tradition established earlier on this site. The property was once used as a hunting and fishing preserve featuring a cozy lodge. The property also once encompassed a lumber plantation but all that has changed. Pawleys Plantation is on one of the most unspoiled tracts on the Grand Strand.
Make sure to make a tee time with Pawley's Island Golf Course the next time you are visiting the Myrtle Beach area.
Looking for great deals on tee times, look no farther than these great deals at Pawleys Plantation and other great courses.
Book your tee times direct at Pawleys Plantation and you're guaranteed you get the best possible rate!

On this page, you will find the prices for Compact car rental in Davao - Poblacion District, Philippines from the best rental companies. Our service allows you to compare the prices for different cars and choose the best option of Compact rental car for you.
Below are the lists of Compact cars, available for rental in Davao - Poblacion District, Philippines, as well as nearby locations. These lists contain the models and basic characteristics of cars, as well as their approximate prices. They allow the estimation of the level of prices and the range of the possible options. To learn about the precise prices and availability of the cars for the required dates, please fill in the dates of the beginning and the end of the rental in the search form above and press the "Search" button, or just press the "Check" button below the image of the car you prefer.

The presented lists contain the data obtained by our system from the previous car rental requests in Davao - Poblacion District, Philippines and the nearby locations. Since the prices depend on the season of rental, the actual prices on the requested date may be different from the represented ones.
The compact cars are a group that is larger than the economy but smaller than the intermediate car group.
They are in the so-called C-segment (the largest of the small cars), as a rule they are easy to drive, maneuver and park, therefore the compact cars are suitable for driving around the city during the traffic jams. Despite the popular opinion that the compact cars are made as budget-friendly econoboxes, we would agree that the compact cars are an effective alternative to larger vehicles, and an economic travel mode.
Sometimes the economy class cars are assigned to the compact cars group due to their similarity: they may be 2-door as well as 4-door, and take up to 5 passengers. However the compact cars are a bit more expensive and larger than the economy cars; the compact car can hold one luggage item more than the economy class car, therefore the compact cars are more comfortable.
Using the list of the available locations near the required Compact pick-up spot, you can easily decide which one will be the most convenient for your rental.
Just pick a location in the search box, choose a provider, and you'll see the selection of pick-up locations and the vehicles available there.
Most of the companies do not provide Compact cars to drivers under 25. Sometimes a driver must be at least 26 or even 28 to be able to order a Compact car.
Nevertheless, the age requirements may vary depending on the location, and some companies may provide their Compact cars even to 21-year-old drivers. In such cases, the company usually demands an additional fee from 21-24-year-old drivers (sometimes even from 25-year-old drivers) – a young driver fee.
Anyway, you should always check the exact age requirements in the "Rental Conditions" for a specific Compact model.
If your car lacks some options which could be useful during your trip, you can add them when you are ordering. Here is a short list of additional options and equipment you can add to your car if required:
The car rental companies can't offer you a definite car model; most likely you'll get a car from the chosen group. But if you see the "Guaranteed car model" sign, don't worry, you'll get a car you've booked.
Confirming the booking, don't forget to print out the voucher. You can find a contact number there; you can call them and find out what car model to expect. Sometimes you can get a free upgrade – it means that a compact car can be substituted by a medium-sized/intermediate car, at the same price. Mind that saving money on the model you'll have to spend more on the fuel.
