Ring in the New Year in Style
It is the perfect time of year to be as festive as you fancy! After that last bit of gift-wrapping paper has been discarded and the X'mas left-overs have been demolished, the time has come to ring in 2017 with a spectacular New Year's Eve bash!
Here are my practical tips to get your party planning started:
Set the Mood: The best dinner parties, in my opinion, are the ones where the food is prepped ahead of time. I love having something for guests to nibble on as they stand around and chat. Preparing small bites/hors d'oeuvres in advance will help keep your guests engaged and keep you from the kitchen guaranteeing quality face time with all of them.
Keep it simple with shrimp cocktail, cheese platters, tortilla chips & dip; bruschetta, quiche and crab cakes just to mention a few. Serving dinner later at night will make midnight appear nearer than you might suspect! When in doubt… pop some frozen treats in the oven! Sometimes it can be so nice to have it ready to go!
Keep the Spread Warm and the Party Fun: And when the table is filled with delicious warm food, who isn't happy? There is certainly no better approach to feeding your guests than buffet style; all things considered, this is your New Year's Eve, too! Spend time with your loved ones while you are waiting for the clock to strike midnight.
Plan for different flavors while including both hot and cold dishes; Roast turkey with mixed-herb gravy, glazed jerk ham and beef stroganoff are good ideas for your buffet table, as these meats will hold up well. By keeping dinner on buffet chafing dishes, your guests will think more about "Let's set the dance floor on fire!", and less about when to eat.
Ensure You Have Enough to Feed a Crowd: There is nothing worse than coming up short on food before the clock strikes 12. Follow these general guidelines to make certain your guests leave your party satisfied. For meat, you can feed about thirty people with 8-10 kilos of Turkey, 3-4 kilos of boneless ham, or a 5 kilo roast beef. Pasta is a crowd pleaser! Figure about 60 grams {dry} per person if it is being served as a side dish and about 100 grams per person if pasta is your main. It will be amply sufficient when you consider hors d'oeuvres and side dishes.
Your Toast to the New Year: It's New Year's Eve, what's a celebration without some festive cocktails! And what better way to give your guests some time to relax and get in the party mood. Instead of weighing your guests down with heavy drinks, serve light Sangria and fruit-infused punch or Coca-Cola Mini cans which are available in an assortment of flavours including Coke, Coke Zero and Diet Coke {alcohol-free alternatives}.
Make Lasting Memories When the Clock Strikes 12: There are numerous traditions around the world that are followed when the clock strikes twelve. In my family, we sing happy songs and eat cake as we count down from twelve to Happy New Year! This New Year's eve, gather your guests to create new traditions as the clocks strikes midnight that will make enduring memories throughout 2017.
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year 2017 from our little corner of the world and hope you're with your loved ones!

Workamajig Implementation
The sheer volume of work our teams created at Schlumberger to the order of 3,000+ pieces of collateral each year required that we reassess our needs in job tracking software. I researched, purchased, implemented, and maintained Workamajig as Schlumberger's primary trafficking software system.

On/By Trotsky
Even his most determined enemies grant that Leon Trotsky was a great revolutionary. His leadership of the Russian Revolution and the Red Army are acts which even the unholy alliance of right wing and Stalinist historians have been unable to erase in the 50 years since his death. Among academics, if not among revolutionaries, Trotsky's status as a theoretician is less secure. That same alliance of conservatives and Russia worshippers who have failed to eradicate the facts of Trotsky's life have been more successful in denying the intellectual contribution that he made to the Marxist tradition. It is an ironic tribute to Trotsky's continuing political relevance that he remains, even more than Lenin, an outcast from the ivory towers.
Yet Trotsky was one of the great original thinkers of the Marxist tradition. The theory of permanent revolution predicted the course of the Russian Revolution 11 years before it broke out. His analysis of Germany foresaw the dangers of Nazism when many, on the left as well as the right, remained blind. His writings on art and literature gained respect even from the unlikely figures of F R Leavis and T S Eliot. Trotsky's monumental History of the Russian Revolution moved historian A L Rowse to say 'his gift is so brilliant and incisive that one is continually reminded of Carlyle'. [1]
But even among those who are willing to grant all this, Trotsky has never had much of a reputation as a pioneer of the Marxist method. In the post-war period Marx's philosophy has become an object of almost obsessional study. The philosophy of both Lukacs and Gramsci have produced endless debate. Even Lenin's Materialism and Empiriocriticism and his Philosophical Notebooks have received some attention. But Trotsky it was assumed, even by some of his admirers, had little to contribute in this field. [2] This was always unjust. The evidence of Trotsky's fine dialectical method was obvious not just in his explicit statements from the 1920s and late 1930s but also from his theory of permanent revolution and his writings on history and art.
Now, however, we have new proof of Trotsky's original contribution to the Marxist method. In 1986 Trotsky's Notebooks, 1933-35, Writings on Lenin, Dialectics and Evolutionism were published for the first time. They not only place Trotsky very firmly in the 'Hegelian' Marxist tradition, they also develop that tradition in a way which equips it to meet many of the criticisms that are commonly thrown against it today. It has long been asserted, for instance, that Marxism is incapable of dealing with politics and ideology other than by reducing them to economics. Or else it is said Marxism, 'Hegelian' Marxism in particular, argues that the course of history is predetermined, developing according to immutable dialectical laws. Any attempt to argue that the dialectic applies to both nature and society is seen as proof that the blind laws of evolution are being indiscriminately applied to society with the inevitable result that human beings are denied any conscious choice about their fate. More recently, post-modernists have argued that any attempt to see the world as a totality where each aspect of reality is linked to the others, a key Marxist concept, is a form of intellectual tyranny and oppression which can only lead to the gulag.
Trotsky's notebooks on dialectics and his other related writings provide more than a defence of the materialist conception of history. They provide an account of the Marxist method which resolutely refuses all crude reductionism and which articulates a dialectical method which is sophisticated enough to give proper weight to all the different political, ideological and philosophical elements within the totality

Have you felt like you are going through the motions with your prayers, but – if you are being totally honest – nothing much seems to be happening? I know how you feel. I've felt the same way myself; But I found…
My prayers were popular. In other words, they were prayers with commonly used wordings…but…ineffective.
This was exampled in a prayer request I recently heard, "Pray that God will supply all their needs."
As sincere as those words are….(I've prayed that way for myself and others)….they aren't based on New Covenant Truth. And, it's a habit I've been aggressively working to change for myself and share with others.
Ineffective religious habit has come from teaching us to focus on our weaknesses, lacks, and sins. The New Covenant in Christ Jesus focuses on His strength in and through us. It also magnifies what we already have in Christ rather than what we lack. And finally, our New Covenant with God lasers in on our righteousness through Christ instead of sin consciousness.
What then is an effective way to pray?
"Lord, I pray for eyes to see the provision that You say is already mine." "I also ask for your wisdom on how to access and live on what you've already given me."
That would be the same way to pray for someone else in need. Especially when a loved one, friend, or acquaintance is in a time of special need, the provision they need most is God's light shining on the truth of what's He's already done for them, and His wisdom to apply it to their lives.
My earnest desire for you (and myself) is to continually grow in grace praying and living based on truth rather than old religious tradition. That's how we become increasingly effective in prayer and life.

G2 Crowd finds Google Drive tops satisfaction ratings and earns highest overall market presence score
CHICAGO – October 20, 2016 – G2 Crowd, the world's leading business software review platform, today released the Fall 2016 Business Content Management Software Grid℠ report to help businesses make the best business content management technology decision. Google Drive, Box, Hightail, and Citrix ShareFile were named Leaders in the report, receiving a strong customer satisfaction score with a large market presence.
Dropbox Business was named High Performer in the report, earning strong customer satisfaction marks with smaller market presence scores. Google Drive earned the highest overall satisfaction score and highest overall market presence score.
The GridSM leverages customer satisfaction data reported by authenticated users along with vendor market presence determined from social and public data. Based on a combination of these scores, each software solution is categorized as a Leader, High Performer, Contender or Niche.
Key Findings:
- Getting down to business — This is the first Grid℠ report for Business Content Management, a recent category addition to G2 Crowd. Most of the products featured in the report previously existed in similar categories—namely Enterprise Content Management and File Storage & Sharing—but were chosen to represent this newly defined category based on a specific collection of features and open, modern interfaces. There are 10 platforms with enough reviews to be included on the Fall 2016 Grid℠ Report, with several products falling just short of the minimum number of reviews to be featured.
- Catalyzing collaboration — When asked what business problems they were solving, a large number of reviewers said that business content management products help foster collaboration within and across teams. Collaboration features are a prominent offering of products on this Grid℠ and one of the primary components that separate these tools from those in similar categories. Many users raved about these features and the simplicity of working with coworkers, editors, and even clients using these products.
- Sharing is caring — The easy sharing of diverse file types—along with unique permissions, editing suggestions, and version histories—is what many business content management users liked best about their products. These solutions allow business teams to exchange small and large files or entire folders, and access, download, or edit them from the convenience of a central interface. Though opinions on storage capabilities, ease of setup, and system performance varied from user to user, file sharing was consistently singled out as a major upside of business content management products.
About the Business Content Management GridSM report:
- The report is based on more than 1000 reviews written by business professionals.
- Of the 23 products listed in G2 Crowd's Business Content Management category, the ranked products each received ten or more reviews to qualify for inclusion on the GridSM.

The last pic, white parrot with elvis haircut isn't a parrot - it's a sulphur -crested cockatoo, native to Australia
Anonymous says 2 February 2013 at 08:52
The cockatoo is a parrot, in the order of Psittaciformes (parrots) Although not a "true" parrot, it's nevertheless a parrot.
Anonymous says 21 July 2013 at 08:16
a "TRUE" parrot has a hooked beak where the upper and lower mandible both move, and zygodactyl (opposable 4-toed) feet. the cockatoo fits both categories--they are TRUE parrots.

Twice Promised
By: Maggie Brendan
Two beautiful brides.
One unsuspecting groom.
Three weeks to figure it all out.
My opinion:
This book is a simple read. It has some twists, easy to figure out.
There are some things going on but with out the "eye rolling" drama. I found it to be on the more melancholy side for me, but I enjoyed it. It didn't keep me wanting to come back to it from intrique.
I just read when I had free time.
Some of the language that made me question on if it was correct for the period, so of it seemed more modern than I would have thought.
I really liked the character "Granny". Maybe it was her gentle spirit that reminded me of my "Granny" who died when I was a young child.
The author did share a store about Blue Willow dishes that I thought was really neat. I like when I am taught something from a fictional book. It really brings something fascinating to the story.
The other characters in the story really did a lot of growing in such a short 3 week time. There was a minor character, Cole, who I thought I was not going to like very much, but he turned out to be a nice guy that liked a lot. You didn't hear much from him, but just enough to know how he fits in.
The story is sweet and a quick read. I recommend this book if your wanting something that is not full of drama.
I received this book free from the publisher for an honest review.

Everyone has their own their own beauty and style. It's all in the way how we carry it. Each one of us has a unique physique with some strengths and flaws. By properly highlighting the stronger areas and hiding the flaws we can flaunt an elegant look. Here are some Tips & tricks that will come handy when dressing up.
OutfitsOutfit selection is the most important aspect of presenting oneself. The outfit we wear should be ' look good-feel good' type. We should also feel comfortable wearing it. If one is a little overweight, prefer dark colored clothes. They create an illusion of being slim as they tend to hide the problem areas. On the other hand flab is highlighted with white or light colored clothes.
Horizontal Stripes especially light colored makes you look wider, while dark or vertical stripes gives out a slender look.
Color SelectionIf you want to cover the lower waist body fat, prefer shirts and trouser with not much contrast. If there is much contrast between top and bottom clothing, it creates a line of division and thus highlights the problem areas.
Sleeve-LengthMany people have fat arms though rest of the body is normal. Wearing a full length or three-fourth sleeves covers the flabby arms.
Tummy fatAnarkhalis in traditional wear and Peplum tops in western wear hides the extra pounds gained around hips and tummy.
PrintsGo for small and closer prints than Big and wider print clothes as they make you look more better.
AccessoriesWhen wearing a outfit with busy patterns or heavy work, keep the jewelry to minimum. If you want to showcase your accessories, then opt for a simple plain dress.Long and big ear rings will make the look special for occasions and are best for women with broad faces.
Hair DoOpen hair makes you look slim and younger than tying it up in a tight bun.

ARMM wants to supply Nestlé plant with cassava from Marawi and Lanao
By Nonoy E. Lacson
Zamboanga City – The Regional Board of Investments (RBOI) of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) announced that the regional government was interested in supplying multi-national company Nestlé's Protomalt processing plant with cassava and cassava flour for its health food drink.
"We have discussed with the ARMM economic cluster agencies that the ARMM has a great economic opportunity with the establishment of the Nestlé protomalt plant, whose main ingredient is cassava, because we are the country's biggest producer of cassava," said lawyer, Ishak Mastura, chairman and managing head of RBOI.
Nestlé recently announced that construction of a malt plant in Lipa, Batangas, which began in December 2015 and is expected to be completed in October 2017.
Nestlé had reportedly sought the help of the Department of Agriculture to source and increase supply of cassava for its plant, which is expected to produce its Milo chocolate malt drink.
The main ingredients for Milo are barley and cassava.
In 2016, ARMM recorded the highest production of cassava in the country at 423,650 metric tons (MT) and contributed 55.6 percent to total cassava output.
"In line with the rehabilitation and recovery of Marawi City and Lanao del Sur after the Marawi Siege and considering that cassava in the ARMM is mainly produced in Lanao del Sur, the government can support our cassava farmers to expand their production and encourage new planters by building the logistics supply chain to meet the huge demand from Nesté and other end buyers," added Mastura.
It was reported that the top producer of cassava in ARMM is Malabang, Lanao del Sur because it is home to Matling Industrial and Commercial Corporation which leads the country in cassava plantation and cassava flour milling.

- This was our first villa holiday and so we had nothing to compare it with but the Villa Ochenta lived up to our expectations. It was really well equipped. This was a winter (February) holiday so it was cold at night and the fact the villa had been empty for some time prior to our arrival meant we did need to use the heating units. The extra gas heater (mobile) for the living area was much appreciated.
Anthony G Richardson (UK); Online Holiday Questionnaire, Mar 2014, Ochenta
- A big thank you to you for your help.
It really is a pleasure dealing with you and we will not hesitate to recommend you to our friends.
Rose Hansez (Belgium): Email, Sep 2012, Ochenta
- We were offerred the use of Casa Ochenta a few days before departing for a different villa, which was unexpectedly unavailable due to water damage after a flood. Ochenta is advertised as standing in grounds of 800 square meters, which cannot be denied, however it is built on such a gradient that most of it is unusable (perhaps this could be made clearer in the property description) [VS - good advice & have now done]. Despite this we had a fabulous week in late May and wanted for nothing while we were there; the villa is positioned with a superb aspect of sea and hillside views and benefits from full sunshine from mid morning until late evening (at this time of year). It is fully equipped (apart from a dishwasher, which wasn't a problem for us) and also benefits from a landline phone (useful for incoming calls) and internet access which proved useful for tracking ash clouds over the UK!!
After finding that our 3-year old had locked our passports in the safe with no idea of the combinaton number, the House Manager Christina, although unavailable at the time, dealt with the problem in a confident and reassuring manner and arrived with a key at 9.00pm the day before our departure so as to be sure that we had a good night's sleep without any further worry; we cannot thank her enough for that.
Tips: After staying in other areas of Moraira in the past, I was concerned that the Cumbre Del Sol Area was a little remote, however after this stay I am now a convert and love the area for the fine views, spacious feeling of the villas (they all seem to stand in quite generous grounds) and the new Mercadona supermarket at the entrance to the 'Hill' (they are well stocked, clean and the staff are very pleasant). I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend the area, the villa or VillaSpain to any of my friends and look forward to a return visit as soon as I can arrange it.

Still, Don't Sweat The Small Stuff + Unbearable Lightness of Being.
I've also been taking notes from several platform specs and API documents because clients want to roll something new for Q3. Halp!
Notes. And a book for my two best gals, a compilation of things that I wrote when I can still write… kind of.
To Sanji's lullaby tunes c/o his elephant sound thingy that mom bought him when he was a new born. He's sleeping on my chest as I write this
About the upcoming busy days at work, which includes an all-nighter for our database migration.
Sometimes I wish I have the option to be a stay at home mom.
Bath products. I'm now in our bathroom to clean my face etc. This is now my sanctuary, my favorite place in the house – it's where I get to have some quiet, think and be on my own. Don't get me wrong, it's always fun being with Sanji, but it can be definitely tiring.
For better opportunities.
For a kinder heart. The way I see it, you can go on life being the bigger bitch (I've been down that path), or you can just be nice. I'm currently trying the latter, and so far, it has yielded good things.
Men's boxer shorts and Aeropostale sleeveless grey shirt with the peace sign on front.
A house of our own. Or a car. Genie, grant this!
To stop sweating the small stuff. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by the future that I panic and just choke.
Today's sunset. We had dinner at my friend's house — nothing fancy, just rice cooker pasta and soda. But we ate on their condo's rooftop while the sun sets. And it was the best moment of this week. Reminds me how little I am and how little my problems are.
Relaxed and refreshed and ready for another week at work! Aja!

SpaceX employees gathered around the company's Mission Control in Hawthorne, California, cheered wildly and chanted "USA" after the booster touched down on the barge off the coast of Cape Canaveral. Previous barge attempts had failed.
The private spaceflight company, which has shuttled cargo to the International Space Station and satellites into orbit since 2012, set off to deliver 7,000lb of supplies and a habitat experiment to the station – an inflatable room for astronauts.
#Elon Musk, the tech billionaire who owns SpaceX, has said he hopes to pioneer reusable rockets that will make spaceflight vastly less expensive – and thus open new frontiers of exploration and opportunity in space.
The company has attempted several landings before, none successful save one on a landing pad on solid earth. Musk hopes to land the rocket on a "drone ship" because the robotic vessel can meet the rocket on its descent, reducing fuel expenses, and because a landing at sea is safer than one near people.
SpaceX landed a reusable rocket on a robotic drone on Friday, its fifth attempt and part of a budding space race between billionaires to revolutionize spaceflight.

Entry requirements
A valid Canadian passport is required for Canadians intending to visit the United States. The passport should be valid for at least the expected duration of stay in the country. For all other nationalities, consult your consulate or tourist board for details. You can also visit http://www.voyage.gc.ca/ for up-to-date information.
Most hotel and restaurant bills include a service charge. Make sure you check the bill to avoid tipping twice. Where a service charge is not included in a restaurant, or for a taxi driver, tour guide or other service provider, it is customary to leave a tip of 10%-15% of the bill.

High School Sports
Blaine's Anthony Frey ready for final Mat Classic test
Look up and down Blaine's wrestling roster and Anthony Frey sticks out as one of the Borderites' most accomplished wrestlers.
He's a three time regional champion, has collected a fifth-place and seventh-place state medal and his second-place finish during last week's regional has him in his fourth and final Mat Classic this Friday-Saturday, Feb. 19-20, at the Tacoma Dome.
The senior 145-pounder is also the team's most likely candidate to give coach Craig Foster a heart attack.
Some may label Frey's wrestling style funky — he gets in awkward positions, scrambles a lot and takes risks. Unorthodox as it can be, it's also proved effective.
"He is wrestling and can be down in a match and suddenly he has you on your back, and he is dangerous in that way," Foster said. "Wrestling the best guys, he can get them in trouble with the stuff that he does."
Foster likened Frey to a boxer with a heavy punch, saying Frey always has the ability to land that one match-ending move. Foster called him a "pinner."
But reward doesn't always follow risk, and while Frey's living-on-the-edge mindset has won him matches in thrilling fashion, it's also cost him — the origin of Foster's headaches.
"You always never know what's going to happen," Frey said. "One thing happens, and matches seem to be decided at the last second or whatever."
While Frey's been showing off his unique style since entering Blaine's program as a freshman, he's evolved a better sense of when and where to take his shots. Foster feverishly has worked with him on exactly that, and Frey's ability to harness his funky style, combined with his pinning ability, are two big reasons the senior could be poised for a state breakthrough.
Certainly, he has plenty of motivation after what he considered a disappointing Mat Classic XXVII.
"Starting on the Monday after wrestling season," Frey said. "I started weight lifting and working out and stuff because going from fifth to seventh that is a pretty big bummer."
Motivation this season, Frey said, has derived from him dropping two places in state last year. And nothing would be sweeter than ending a decorated career, that includes winning a team state title, with an individual one.
No matter this weekend's results, Frey said Mat Classic XXVIII will be bittersweet.
Frey has come a long ways during his time with the Borderites. A home-schooled student, his wrestling team has become a second family, and he's opened up from the introvert he used to be.
"To be honest the four years have gone by super fast," Frey said. "Being a freshman, I still remember my first day of practice as a quiet little dude. It's gotten me, you could say, out of my shell in a way. The team overall, we are pretty close."

Carol here: I love people who can laugh at themselves and not take themselves too seriously. Mollie is one of those people. Recently she had another move and shares with us her hiccup problem.
Hiccups by Mollie Bond
Cool, confident, collected.I kept repeating the words as I tried to pull open the door to my new job.And then, hiccup.I know when my nerves kicks in, so do the hiccups.Still, I kept moving forward.Unfortunately I smacked right into a locked door.Hiccup! I found the black phone attached to the wall to make an overhead page so someone would let me in.What exactly do you say?"Uh, I'm Mollie, I'm new.Can someone let me…hiccup!"
It seems I forget the details during moves.Then, I get nervous but I don't know it until the hiccups start.This particular move I had started packing weeks in advance, so the day of the move was less stressful.In my cleverness I packed too many essentials too early and I couldn't find everything. "I'm doing good!" I said to my cat Charlie as I packed out each corner with some underwear, "What a space saver I am!" The problem is, each box has underwear in it, and some of those boxes are still at my parents house.While I'm at it, if I could do it over, I would not have put the white lace underwear inside the dirty coffee mug.
I have a friend who is organized in her packing.She numbers each box, and puts a star sticker on it when it is done.The sticker is color-coordinated to a room, and the number is listed on an excel spreadsheet that is printed off and stuck in clear plastic protectors.Each number has the room the box belongs in, it's contents, and any special notes, like "open first" or "breakables."I wonder if I could use those plastic protectors to protect my underwear against coffee stains next time?
I felt them coming as I packed my little blue compact car, hic…hic…hiccup! My friend brought his large SUV, which I also packed to the bursting brim. Each car had a walkie-talkie and that was amazing. However, my friend does not own a cell phone, so we only had my cell phone. When he missed the exit, the walkie-talkies were useless since they were out of range. I sat in my cramped car at a hotel parking lot smelling the cardboard boxes. I hoped he would turn around and find the exit. I faced the traffic light, repeating directions. Everyone who was on that channel could hear the same thing over and over. I hiccupped while I looked at the only cell phone, the only map, the only GPS unit, and the only written location of the hotel sitting on center console. My friend found me, and with a shrug said, "I got close enough to hear the directions, but had to turn off the walkie-talkie. I couldn't understand anything past the hiccups. Besides, I was filling up at that gas station across the street."
The next hiccup occurred when paying for my medications. I had planned on ordering them at the local pharmacy before moving so that I had a supply to back me up while I looked for a new pharmacy in the new city. I procrastinated. It cost me triple what I usually paid, details that would have avoided more hiccups. On the other hand, I made sure I was caught up on other appointments before leaving, like that important hair cut and color, a dental checkup and a medical check-up. Maybe the doctor can help with these hiccups.
I find that my major hiccups, and the situations that resulted in those hiccups, are much better to handle with a plan. So plan for the unplanned. Have extra of everything and a phone close by in each vehicle and a GPS app for it. Take extra underwear, even if you don't get it into labeled boxes with special stickers and plastic protectors. Then you will be cool, calm, and collected if the hiccups arrive.

Well, he broke up with me. Said there wasn't a connection on his end. You would think that he would have come up with that conclusion sooner and said good-bye sooner, but no, it took him a month. Said he didn't want to lead me on. But by sticking around as long as he did, he was leading me on. Personally, I think it was because I wasn't ready to have sex with him. I have to feel connected and sure of someone before I jump into bed with them and though I liked him, I just wasn't ready. Now I'm glad I didn't. He sure acted like we had a connection. He liked to hold my hand and kiss me and make out with me… It upset me when he first told me and everything and, of course, I cried. But now it just pisses me off. I don't like being led on. If he didn't feel a connection at all, he should have said something and not done those things. But no… Whatever. I'm ok now. I was depressed about it for a few days, but now I'm ok. I just don't want to be alone. Why can't I find someone? I guess it's partially because I'm picky and won't sleep around. But why can't I find someone who will love me for me?
Ok, maybe I'm not as "ok" as I'd like to pretend. I hate getting in the shower on most days but do it because I have to work or something. But since I don't have to go to work or anything right now, I haven't showered in two days. Now, it's not that bad you might say, but I did work Tuesday night/Wednesday morning and sweat a bit, so I need a shower, but I just can't seem to make myself get up and do that simple little task. It looks like a mountain of a job. And I just don't want to do it. It's affecting me going anywhere because I've got greasy looking hair and don't want to be seen like this but I can't seem to make myself see that as a good enough reason to get in the shower. Even though we don't have anything to eat so I'm starving, but that's ok too. All of this stems back to my depression, and I know this logically, but logic doesn't help.
Well, I'm going to keep pretending I'm ok until I believe it, and hopefully, that'll be soon. I started school on Monday, so classes and homework have helped keep me distracted. I already turned in all the homework that was due by tomorrow, so now I'm starting to work on the stuff that's due next week. I'm a notorious procrastinator, so if I don't keep working on the work a little at a time each day, I'll just let it go and have to rush to get it all done. And I don't want to have to do that, especially not with online classes. So I'm doing a bit each day. But I don't feel like I'm doing that great, especially with the essay parts. I think I need an English tutor. My writing is just not what it used to be. I'm in English 102 and Psych 101, and both are requiring a lot of writing. I wasn't expecting this much writing in Psych but what can I do. I'll get through this semester and hopefully get to take a class I enjoy more next semester. But that's it for me today. Thanks for reading. Till we meet again.

Trying to reach your fitness goals but don't know where to start? You've tried – workout classes, gym memberships, at-home gyms and more. Many of these fitness programs have 1 thing in common: exercise equipment.
Whether you are new to exercise equipment or pro, it's always ideal to go back to the basics. Use our overview and tips below to start using cardio and strength equipment in a way that fits your needs.*
Cardio Equipment – Cardiovascular Health
Cross-Country Ski Machine
If you are looking for a full body workout (while going easy on the knees) this machine might be for you.
BFM Tip: On some ski machines, you have to move one ski forward to make the other move back. On others, the skis move independently. Check out all types available and try both.1
Elliptical Trainers
This is also a great impact free equipment that gives you a full body melt down!
BFM Tip: A cross between a ski machine and stair-stepper, It may feel weird, but you'll get use to it. Try the machine out at varying speeds and grades to make sure it feels stable.1
Stair-stepper machines imitates the motion of climbing flights of stairs and offer a low-impact workout.
BFM Tip: While categorized as low-impact, this motion can be hard on the knees. Look for machines that provide independent foot action and are equipped with handrails and large stair platforms.1
Stationary bicycle
An exercise bike is easy to use and provides a great cardio workout. This has low impact on the knees.
BFM Tip: Look for a model with a comfortable, adjustable seat and toe clips.1
Rowing machines
A total body workout, exercising the back, arms and legs simultaneously.
BFM Tip: The rowing motion may initially feel unusual, and some even find it hard on the back. Take this slow to see how it works.1
Strength Equipment
As new equipment is developed and gyms expand, it can be hard to choose between different types of strength equipment. American College of Sports Medicine offers a basic overview of commonly used strength equipment ranging from free weights and kettlebells to total-trainer and weight machine systems.2
*Always consult a physician before starting a new exercise program.

Aaron and Powell are back at it this week, bringing you updates for local hoops programs. Laney's Jordan Gym is the venue as Powell catches up with the Bucs girls team, fresh of a surprising 4-1 start to conference play.

Observations about Hoggard vs Laney
1. Refs, Refs, Refs!!
2. Kadeem Allen was clearly fouled at the end of regulation..why was that not an AND 1..should never have been an overtime
3. Why do the Laney kids get games stolen from them?
4. To Lynch..Its time to put Abraham back in the starting position and sit Keys down..we have lost three in a row behind your idiocy
5. Go to WWAY website and see Elijah Wilson getting fouled in overtime by Stilman clearly hitting him on the arm which everyone behind him heard the slap and yet no foul called..just one of the many missed calls by the bald head ref
6. Why are the Hoggard players allowed to talk trash our players while shooting free throws, and Laney cant even look at Hoggard sideways
It has got to get better with the refering in New Hanover County especially when we play Hanover and Hoggard..Ashley beat us fair and square and the refering was professional and called beautifully but this is F*ing ridiculous to see Laney get games taken from them because of cheating..
and star news..why no pictures?..again another overtime game and no cameraman?? I know we are in a tight economy but one of the most intense games of the year after the Hanover and Laney game and yet Laney still dosent get any pictures..are you scared that wilmington will see the missed calls? I saw about 7 cameramen there and no star news taking pictures?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha i should have known that was coming. How does 3rd place feel? Its sad that when anyone wants to get on here and comment abt a game, especially how it was officiated, they dont bc they dont want to sound like Laney2011. I thought there were some questionable calls made in the NH vs. JTH game, but im not going to whine about it! looks like the bucs are coming back down to earth!
Why am I not surprised? I knew as soon as I opened this post our favorite town idiot would be on here whining. Well its back to the refs this week, Stupid has made a complete circle. Now, why doesn't he mention the real culprit? The REAL culprit, Stilman White. How dare he burn Laney for 36pts and 13 boards. All he did was single handedly send Laney back to the North Side of town and our friend 2011 back to what he does best. And WE all know what that is.
@Ibleed..so you know the refs were cheating but you dont say nothing or speak up for your team because you dont want to come across as whining, then you aint a real hanover fan..I have no qualms about calling the refs out..fair is fair and cheating is cheating..Laney kids are the ones being hurt..sounds like to me the conference has been bought since the schedule was made..again, hanover on top, hoggard second and Laney third because thats how cheating teams work..how in the world did Hanover happen to get a home stretch at the end of conference play? hmmm..conspiracy…conspiracy..and anytime an opponet goes to Hoggard you got that bald head ref..say what you want, the laney coaches wont speak up but their fans will!! Laney shouldnt have to play both hoggard/Hanover and the REFS..I dont make this stuff up, the refs calls are the proof..
@bigdaddy-stilman white got 36 points and half of those were on the free throw line..were you even there IDIOT..pushing off to get free and not getting calls for charges, yeah thats singlehandly what we bucs call having the referes in your front pocket..this dude even told the Laney players dont get up on me because the refs are going to call every single play for me..and what team do you even support, all you do is comment to my comments..do I make your day?..do you scroll through the blogs looking to see my next post??..I hate to inform you but I dont swing that way..sound like you a laney hater..plain and simple..
Laney Fans stand up and represent on this blog about the refs last night!!! THERE NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN OVERTIME!!!!!!
Okay,I saw the Hoggard vs Laney game and I am actually an Ashley fan but because of them playing GR, I thought we would come out and see the high school rivarly. Laney2011 is right. You can tell the refs were missing calls. Laney had 10 seconds when Lawson shot in the final seconds of the game and put them ahead by 2 points in regulation. The clock was supposed to stop at 12 seconds and Hoggard score keeper let the clock run down to 6.5 seconds and the refs would not change it and give Laney their seconds back. After Lynch's timeout, Allen brings the ball up the court and shoots with two defenders clearly fouling him at the end of regulation, he gets no foul. Allen should have been on the line shooting a free throw. I dont like laney myself but I have to say, the way the boys came back in that game and to have terrible calls wasnt right. Laney2011 does have a big mouth and can be exasperating at times, but for the first time I have to agree with him.
1. Abraham needs to start over Kyle Wilson, not Keyes.
2.Grady needs to be in the rotation a whole lot more.That situation is a big question mark??? Did he do something to piss the coaches off, if he did they need to get over it!!!!!
3.Coley should be benched more, because he is a hothead and plays with no discipline.
4.Bell should have stayed on JV. That's another big question mark??? Laney coaches keep hoping for that miracle three, that's going to win the game…I just don't get it.
Quit blaming bad coaching on refs!!! Yes there were some bad call, I would agree…
haha if u only knew how much of a true NH fan I am! I know that the refs do make bad calls, but i also know that it does no good to complain about it. The boys have to play through it! I still cant believe you are actually sayin that here is a conspiracy against laney, that teams are "cheating". That sounds like somethin a little kid would say when they are playin against their big brother. Im sure your words taste bad, but please eat them and stop complaining. No one takes you serious anymore abt the refs or whatever excuse u come up with for losing bc it happens every time. Win like an elite team, and lose like one and ppl will actually give laney and you some credit! 14-4, 5-1 in conference doesnt look so bad now…does it?
2011 I figured that would push your buttons a little. I could care less who beats who. I enjoy all sports and root for all of the county teams in whatever sport. No, I did not see the game in person but I had breakfast with two gentlemen who did and like they stated there were calls on both teams that could have gone either way. You figure out how the refs are going to call a game and adjust accordingly. Stillman White just got into the player's heads and the last I heard the points are the same from the line. Yes Hoggard was at their place but everyone gets to play on their own home court also. Remember, You said home court don't mean nothing. Maybe the teams in the county are just a little more evened out than you want to admit?
@Ibleed, the reason the officiating never changes is because people like you dont speak up..yall keep allowing it and they keep blowing calls..I will be the first to say when Laney loses it and I didnt make any excuses when we lost to Ashley but Hanover and Hoggard were stolen from us because of bad officiating..
@bigdaddy..you must have had lunch with eithier the actual refs or Hoggard fans because aint no way those calls could have gone eithier way..pictures dont lie, refs do but pictures dont..and yes I did say home court advantage dosent mean squat but thats when the game is being called fairly..having the refs favor certain teams changes the outcome of games most certainly..
@Laney22..Wilson is playing better ball than some of those guards on that team..keys cant even finish a play..he keeps bringing the ball down and its gets knocked or squatted away..there were at least 3 plays where he should have dunk the ball and he loses it or lets a small guard stop him..give Wilson the ball and he will finish or go to the free throw line every time..Grady should def be playing more..Laney needs leaders and last night Allen and Abraham step up and took the team on their shoulders..Bell, should have never been pulled up from varsity..he is not a three point shooter and he cant even compete defensively against other players..to put Bell in before Grady and Abraham leads me to question lynch "kickbacks"
@Highschoolfan….That's exactly what happened….I agree with you 100%. But Laney needs to learn how to play ball against a zone defense…@LaneyGirls22…Kenny Grady should be the first guard off the bench, he plays awesome defense, he can handle the ball and shoot well under pressure.
@Laney2011…..I like Kyle too with his wide body. He plays good fundamental basketball around the basket. He posts up well and have a nice drop step to the basket.
Can't say i didnt see this one coming!!! Go watch a high school game anywehre in NC and most of the time one teams fans are not happy with the refs. Comparing number of team fouls and one missed call at the end of the game is BS. Teams play different styles of defense, offensive players are more aggressive, etc etc. The refs are part of the game you have to play, Watch Roy or Coach K talk to them! Good teams and coaches adjust. Not make excuses. Big game Ashley @ NH!!! if NH loses im blaming coaches, refs, and the global warming. (no im not a NH fan)
@Bobo..Global Warming? I guess that would explain the erosion of the iron chairs in Brodgen Hall..
See yall Friday unless the sun falls to the earth..
Laney 2011 looks like the season is a wrap!!! maybe now you can focus on other things beside that poor coaching by Lynch, maybe the only bright spot Friday will be jordan showing up for 5 minutes and making a quick exit, before he gets hit up for MONEY!!!!!
The Cape Fear Academy boys are good as well. Saw them play last Thursday and the team they played (Village Christian I think) had some incredible athletes. Although, they ended up losing, I believe they could hold their own against any of the local public schools.
Um myself and many others would have to disagree with you on that one John…Cape Fear cannot compete with the public schools. I know for a fact that Hoggard's JV team beat them over the summer and that when they have scrimmaged the public schools they have gotten killed. There is a just a difference in talent level because of the player pool.
Sammy: I know for a fact that they scrimmaged Ashley's varsity three times during the summer and during the Jamboree and won each time. If losing to Hoggard's JV during the summer is a legitimate way to judge them then their summer scrimmages with Ashley must be legitimate as well.
I never said they would beat the public schools. I just said they would be competitive. I dont go to a lot of their games but I did see them beat a very good Camp Lejeune team in November that had college level players in Gaven Allen and Craig Wilson (and man are those two fun to watch!). I have seen all the local teams play, and I can say that Cape Fear Academy moves the ball better than any of them. They are extremly unselfish and fun to watch. I am not bias; I cheer for all the local teams. I just feel they should be recongnized for their unselfishness and team play. Maybe you should check out a game!
"buc"..I really hope you aren't a Laney fan..you already giving up? We can finish dead last in the conference but you still have conference playoffs..placing in the mideastern tournament will determine if you go to playoffs or not..shoot GR can win it all and still go and not have won a single game in the conference..I just hope some of these teams dont choke like they did in the Brodgen tournament
hahaha choke? this brogden tournament is the first time laney bball won anything! Dont sit here and say teams choked.What matters more, the brogden tournament or a conference championship?
I have never understood why that David Hill kid continued going to CFA when they don't use him like they should. He should have gone to school that would have developed him and made him a better prospect. He isn't a bad player but CFA wasn't where he needed to go.
Willard: Im not sure how sending a kid to one of the most hyper-competitive schools in the southeast "wasn't where he needed to go". CFA has a 100% graduation and college placement rate. Congrats to David for putting his future above his love for basketball. There are not many kids that age that are mature enough to do that.
Would NH or Hog get him more exposure? definitely, Would his education suffer going to public? most likely. But very few basketball and football players good enough to get a scholarship are going to fly under the radar. Stilman White scoring 20 a game, is not the same as any CFA player scoring 20 a game, competition is different. there are also not many kids in the financial situation to have a choice
Bobo: I have family that graduated and played for CFA a few years ago and have been a close follower of Private School Basketball in NC ever since. I must disagree with your comment. Private School basketball in NC if as good if not better than public school ball. Yes, public school leagues are usually much deeper, and theres usually one or two teams in a private school league that just get demolished. However, ive done my research and, if you look at scout, the top 13 players in NC go to private school! In fact, Freddie Jackson is the 2nd highest rated player from pubic school! Teams like Word of God, Christ, Ravenscroft, Westchester Country Day, Greensboro Day (who beat Hoggard by 30), Upper Room, QEA, United Faith,(I could go on but it looks like im out of room) and even teams in CFA's conference like Fayetteville Christian(I havent seen them play yet but heard CFA got killed last time so I could be wrong) and Village Christian would beat any of the local public schools, and many of the games would not be close.

Do people have intrinsic value? If so, then there must be an afterlife. The value a person has is due to them being made in the image of God. If made in the image of God then they have incredible lasting value which lasts into the afterlife.
The first reason is an argument from authority. The vast majority, of peoples, religions and cultures have all believed in life after death. It is innate in us to believe it. We become historical snobs by rejecting the notion without completely examining why so many people believed it.
The second reason is there is a desire to conquer death so, it must exist. We cannot desire that which does not exist in one form or another. We desire money because it exists, We desire heaven because it exists.
The indestructible nature of a soul. People die even of natural. causes. Yet, they are not suffering any illness or disease. They just lose their souls. The soul also cannot be added or to or taken away from. It has a supernatural quality of immortality.
We have rational thinking and the ability to choose between right and wrong. We can act above our physical bodies in a spiritual manner. Spiritual acts demand spiritual actors so, we are therefore above our bodies and have life beyond the physical body.
The existence of an afterlife stems from the existence of God. We must first believe in his existence and then examine God's nature which will provide us with the evidence we need.

What's systems management like in the age of mobility and BYOD?
Systems management isn't just about PCs and servers, the way it used to be, but about smartphones, tablets, laptops and other types of smart, connected devices.
Most IT administrators will tell you they feel as though they have too many devices to manage and too few good tools with which to manage them. That's because the tools you've been using for systems management don't address these new types of devices. So you turn to point solutions — one for smartphones, another for non-computing devices, another for virtual machines — until the effort of jockeying multiple interfaces and reconciling multiple report formats makes it seem like more work than it's worth. The result is an increasing amount of complexity and resource drain that goes along with so many devices and so few good tools.
What if your existing systems management solution could provide a single, at-a-glance view of traditional devices like PCs and servers and extend it to mobile, BYOD and other network-connected devices? What if you could employ a true anypoint management solution?
New perspective, new e-book
To help you go from more complexity to less complexity in your systems management, we've put together a new e-book titled "A Single Approach to Anypoint Systems Management." Part 1 of the e-book described the issues faced by IT administrators like you in managing more complex environments that now include smartphones, tablets, laptops and other types of smart, connected devices.
Part 2 of the e-book sets the stage for our approach to managing PCs, servers, smartphones, tablets and network-connected devices all from the same tool and is subtitled "Systems Management without Missing a Beat: A Model for Integrating Anypoint Device Control."
This series of posts will describe our viewpoint on "Anypoint Systems Management" in greater detail. Meanwhile, you can read Part 1 and 2 of the e-book right now and begin gauging the fit within your own organization.

To Cali or Bust - Part I: My Trip So Far
So I landed, got home, and went to sleep after a long day. My computer had gone all the way to Portland and my bags were not here yet. My house was just as I had left it, with a few minor changes since 5 years I left for College on the East Coast 5 years ago. But I'll back up a bit to introduce this guy:
Donald was in line when I was asking around about my flight, which had to be rescheduled since mine was LATE! He was with his wife and daughter, coming from Hawaii. Now ,I have never visited Hawaii, so I was curious and I asked him about the area. I'll recreate the scene.
"Hey, do you mind saving my space? I'm hungry and this line seems very long." I asked this mustachioed man in the customer service line.
"Sure bud."
So I got a nut bar and came back to the line to chat. I found out Donald was named Donald, and that he was from Hawaii. I had heard from a high school friend that there was a phenomenon called "Island Time" where people would do what they wanted when they wanted to do it, without regard for societal structures. A leisurely way of life, going through life at your own pace. But Donald hadn't encountered this.
According to Donald, the weather is warm and breezy, but the breeze is gentle and cool. It caresses the skin. Government buildings in Honolulu are open-air as is much of Hawaii to take advantage of the nice weather.
He talked very calmly and generated a peace around him. An air of calm. His voice was somewhat hypnotic and he did not hurry with his words, but spoke them plainly as if he was letting out a constant flow of thought, carefully considering the notes that exited his lips. Valuing the moment and what he was contributing to it.
Once I got my new tickets, I went over to my gate, noticed my computer was missing and met up with Tolia who was also there, event seen in my previous post.
And off to Fresno I went! After flirting with a girl on the next plane (it's really fun to do that by the way) and getting a free chocolate bar in exchange for a high-five by kindly asking (you never know until you try!) I landed in Fresno, without my bags of course and went off home to sleep.
It is so nice being back here, things are very familiar. It's just how it was before, with notable upgrades but I feel at home, even with the 5 years since I went to college on the east coast.
The next day I had some family time with my mom, we went over to an antique store and guess what I found?
I found aftershave!
Aftershave, you ask? Really?
Yes, those things there are classic, circa 1970, worth about $300 for a complete mint chess set, and about $8 for the Jaguar decanter with the box. I bagged the one pictured below, a 1958 Chevy and have used it while shaving this trip.
The scent is a classic aftershave, reminiscent of modern-day Brut.
Downtown in the suburb where I'm staying there exist many antique stores, a couple barbecues and some mom-and-pop shops. It's quaint and quiet. I like the coziness but I can't wait until we go to San Francisco tomorrow. I planned this trip, and I'm eager to eat at this garlic-based restaurant, the Stinky Rose. Of course I'll update you on that, and I'll bring some Altoids to balance out my mouth.
But before I give you tomorrow, I'll give you part two of the trip so far, including these two interesting people I met at a bar in Fresno since I needed to get out.

Like many people, I found myself wandering into the world of podcasts when Serial came onto the scene. When that first season ended, I started exploring what else might be available and I was surprised to see how much content was out there in just about every genre and topic you can imagine. Using my Player FM app, I've pored through a variety of subjects, but most mornings I pop in my ear buds, head out for a walk, and start my day with something inspirational. Over these past few months I've grown particularly fond of a handful of podcasts that include some excellent episodes for meaningful life, work and overall growth, so it only seems fair to share of few of these with you. In exchange, I'm always on the hunt for another great listen, no matter the genre, so I welcome you to share yours in the comments.
(My Current) Top Five Podcasts to Start The Day:
- The Accidental Creative – Host Todd Henry interviews authors, artists and business leaders, and offers tips on how to build practical, everyday practices to help you stay prolific, brilliant and healthy in life and work.
- The Introvert Entrepreneur – Beth Buelow hosts an excellent space filled with interviews and conversations about life and work from an introvert perspective.
- The Art of Meaningful Work – Ernest Barbaric interviews authors, entrepreneurs and thought leaders who found their path to fulfilling work.
- Inspire Nation – The name says it all. Michael Sandler offers countless episodes of "extraordinary guests sharing valuable wisdom."
- Best Work, Best Life – Kathy Caprino and Mo Faul provide insights and interviews to illuminate on career, work, life, balance and success. This is the one that started my morning inspiration routine – I'm a big fan.

Canes Now
Canes close to being at full strength
It felt like standing room only Tuesday as the Canes held their practice at Raleigh Center Ice.
Fourteen forwards were on the ice. Eight defensemen. Three goalies.
That's a full complement of players for the Canes, who don't play again until Friday, when the Washington Capitals come to PNC Arena.
"It's been since training camp that we've had this situation," Canes coach Kirk Muller said.
Defensemen Brett Bellemore and Mike Komisarek, who have been out with injuries, were back at practice. Alexander Semin was at practice. Anton Khudobin again was on the ice.
Khudobin still remains on injured reserve, but Muller said the goalie has been medically cleared to play. Muller said it's possible Khudobin could be sent to Charlotte for a conditioning stint with the AHL Checkers -- a move Khudobin would have to approve.
"That's where we'll be getting to soon -- to see if he's willing to go down there, if that's the quickest way to get him back and available," Muller said.
Asked if a conditioning request had been made to Khudobin, Muller said, "It will be here now soon. He's got enough practice time in the net. Now we've got to make a decision here."
Another decision to be made will be on making rookie forward Elias Lindholm available to the Swedish national junior team for the 2014 World Junior Championship in Malmo, Sweden. It appears as if Lindholm will play.
"He's 18 years old, it's in his home country, it's great hockey," Muller said. "If he decides it's something he wants to do, I think it would be a great opportunity for him … to play a lot of minutes and get healthy and get ready for the second half of the year."
Lindholm said Tuesday that the Swedish coach has been calling every four or so weeks to ask about his availability. And to lobby a little.
Lindholm played for the Swedes a year ago as they took the silver medal in the 2013 World Juniors in Ufa, Russia. Sweden lost to the U.S. 3-1 in the gold-medal game.
"Obviously it would be fun to go," Lindholm said. "I don't know how it will end up. If I'm going, it's a big honor to represent your country. It will be fun."
And should he stay with the Canes?
"It's a good opportunity either way. That's good," he said.

The Best Hunting Rifle
According to Ross Seyfried
Kinetic energy does not matter. Accuracy almost does not matter. The headstamp on the case certainly does not matter. Having
more shells in the magazine does not matter. How well you can hit with your rifle is almost all that matters!
I am about to offer you the keys to the kingdom of hunting-rifle success; keys gleaned from several decades of hunting and the
observation of more than 1000 head of big game being taken. This is not about me, but about the dozens of men, women and
young shooters I have guided or known around the world.
We have guided lots of successful elk hunters, I see hunters with the most expensive, plastic super-accurate "elk rifles" often fail
miserably. The hunters did not need a rifle that would shoot the expensive and claimed half-inch group, with the flattest trajectory
and loudest roar. Instead they needed a rifle that would allow them to hit a soccer ball at 150 yards.
Perhaps my most succinct quote is, "you cannot buy skill." Buying new gear or a fancier gun is not the answer.
If there is a way to buy skill with a rifle, it is to buy ammunition or the reloading components to make ammunition and then pull
the trigger… a lot!
Focus your mind on a very basic principle, make the first shot count.
Within the realm of cartridges that are capable of taking big game, success in bringing down any animal, your actual animal, is
dependent on two things, where your bullet strikes, combined with the bullet that does the striking. Those two things and those
two alone will determine your success or failure.
To be a successful hunter you will need a rifle you can comfortably and confidently shoot that
1. is chambered for a cartridge drives a sensible hunting bullet at something between 2500 and 3000 fps
2. is between .25 and .323 caliber
3. pushes 150-180 grain bullets to speed without undue recoil
4. and achieves these criteria with a bullet that penetrates and expands with better than average weight retention
The most successful African Safari I ever guided was shot with a .270 Winchester loaded with 150 grain Nosler Partition bullets.
The rifle was ancient and worn, a pre-war Model 70. The "driver" was past 70 years old and this was his only rifle; a rifle that he
has used for many decades in most of the hunting grounds of the world. He shot two extremely tough animals, a zebra and a
wildebeest, first. Each fell to a single shot, as did a huge lion. He broke a sitatunga's neck (that was the only target) offhand, in
the wind, at 300 yards. An elk-sized kudu bull tumbled when the bullet hit the point of his shoulders. There was no real magic; just
a great rifle, fine bullet and unimaginable skill on the part of the rifleman.

Read the Review Transcript: Hi, I'm Charlie, just got off the Blizzard Gunsmoke. I'm gonna give this ski 4/5 stars. Today were in a little bit more of a hard pack, so a ski that's 125 under waist is a little bit big for me right now. It really held it's edge fairly well, so I was surprised with it in initiating turns, and going from ski to ski. It held pretty well, and it was quicker than I had anticipated. It just had a little bit chatter for me on the frontside. If you got into the backside, I'm sure it would be great, but it just seemed that it didn't hold, quite as well, as I had anticipated.
