#Summit County #Colorado
|Summit Daily News Photo
Summit Daily News Link
This summer, like just about every summer, Summit County is home to more than 15 major mountain bike and road bike races, from the Summit Mountain Challenge town series and fabled end-of-season Fall Classic to the brand-new Colorado Classic, the latest pro-level event in North America and a replacement for the now-defunct USA Pro Challenge. Sprints, tours, 50 milers, 100 milers, bike parties and bashes — you want it, we've got it.
Here's a preseason preview of the summer biking season to come. Be sure to sign up now for popular events like the Breck 100, Triple Bypass and 106° West Triathlon. They tend to fill up fast, and you can usually save money with early bird registration.
The 31st season of the midweek Summit Mountain Challenge series makes it debut on June 7 with the Frisco Roundup. Held on trails at the Frisco Peninsula — usually one of the first areas to dry out after winter — the Wednesday race is a mellow "welcome back" to the mountain-biking season, with categories for men, women and juniors. Rides range from 4 miles to 21 miles, depending on division.
Registration for the series is $25 for adults ($30 on race day) and $15 for juniors (18 years old and younger). A pass for the full seven-race series is $175 or $125 without The Fall Classic. To sign up, see the roundup tab at MavSports.com.
The second installment in the Summit Mountain Challenge series takes riders to the trails northeast of Breckenridge in the Gold Run Road area. Rides ranges from 4 miles to 17.5 miles, with categories for men, women and juniors, plus ability divisions.
Registration fees are the same as all other series events. To sign up, see the Gold Run Rush tab at MavSports.com.
The North American Big Mountain Enduro series returns to Keystone Resort for race three on June 24, featuring five to six laps in a single day on the tight, rocky, tree-lined trails of the Keystone Downhill Park. The series also stops in Vail, Winter Park, Aspen Snowmass and Crested Butte, but the Keystone stop regularly fills up.
Registration is $125 for the various divisions. To sign up, see the Keystone tab at BigMountainEnduro.com.
Breck Bike Week isn't just for mountain bikers. The Lake Loop Fondo takes road riders on a 40-mile lollypop loop from Breckenridge to Lake Dillon, Swan Mountain Road and back, all on the paved Summit County recpath system. The best part: It's free. Meet loop leaders with Breck Bike Guides in Blue River Plaza on Main Street at 9 a.m. For more Breck Bike Week info, see the event tab at GoBreck.com.
The second Breck Mtn Enduro returns to the whip-fast trails at Breckenridge Ski Resort for the Satuday of Breck Bike Week. Starting at 10 a.m., riders compete on a mostly downhill course for prizes, bragging rights and all the glory. It's the third race in the Summit Mountain Challenge series.
Registration is $45 for adults and $35 for juniors (11-17 years old), and fees include bike haul on the chairlifts, a post-race meal and beverages. To sign up, see the Breck Mtn Enduro tab at MavSports.com.
There's not better way to end Breck Bike Week than a laid-back, low-key "poker ride" through Breck's most popular trails. Participants ride around town, collecting the best poker hand at various stops to win prizes and raise cash for the local nonprofit. Registration is $30 for adults and $20 for juniors (17 years old and younger). Things get started at 9 a.m.
The one, the only Firecracker 50 is back for a day of grinding on Breck's best trails before Fourth of July shenanigans begin. The race starts during the annual July 4 parade down Main Street Breckenridge and ends at Carter Park with a post-race bash. The distance is (get this) 50 miles for all competitors with divisions for men, women, juniors and teams.
Registration is $100 for the pro/open division, $90 for all other divisions and $150 for the two-person relay. To sign up, see the Firecracker 50 tab at MavSports.com.
No, it's not code name for a road bike heart attack. The Triple Bypass, one of the biggest and most popular road tours, returns for its 29th season in 2017 with 120 miles and 10,000 vertical feet of climbing over three classic passes: Juniper Pass, Loveland Pass and Vail Pass, plus Swan Mountain Road and Sapphire Point for good measure.
Registration is open now at a rate of $165 for Saturday, $150 for Sunday and $295 for both days. Fees includes a Triple Bypass jersey, swag bag, food, energy bars, hydration stations and full support from start to finish. For more info, see TripleBypass.org.
The fourth annual Frisco Triathlon takes place Saturday, July 15. This unique triathlon features a 3K stand-up paddleboard leg, 12K mountain-biking leg and a 5K trail run. The Frisco Triathlon was named "Best Triathlon" in Elevation Outdoors Magazine's 2016 reader poll. This twist on a triathlon is open to all ability levels and encourages athletes to take on a new multi-sport event with beautiful Dillon Reservoir and the Frisco Peninsula serving as the event location.
Race four in the Summit Mountain Challenge Series features a course on the southeast side of Breckenridge, including classic routes like Boreas Pass Road and tricky climbs like something known simply as "the Grind." Distances range from 4 miles to 14.5 miles, depending on ability division.
Registration fees are the same as all other series events. To sign up, see the Pennsylvania Gulch Grind tab at MavSports.com.
One day, 100 miles, 13,719 vertical feet of climbing — it doesn't get much bigger and bolder than the Breck 100. Now in its 12th season, the annual ultra-endurance ride regularly draws top-level pros training for the Leadville Trail 100 MTB on Aug. 12, along with plenty of Average Joes who just want to suffer for a day on some of the prettiest trails in Colorado. There are divisions for full 100 milers, 68 milers and 32 milers, plus two and three-person relay teams.
Registration is $195 for the 100 ($285 for teams), $125 for the 68 ($190 for teams) and $85 for the 32. To sign up and find out more, see the Breck 100 tab at WarriorsCycling.com.
The fifth event in the Summit Mountain Challenge Series gets away from Breckenridge for a tour of the hills and valleys west of Keystone. The ride begins at the Keystone Stables and leads south toward Breckenridge, passing the Colorado Trail along the way. Distances range from about 4 miles to 15.5 miles.
Registration fees are the same as all other series events. To sign up, see the Soda Creek Scramble tab at MavSports.com.
Come August, Colorado's newest professional bicycle race will roll through downtown Breckenridge. From Aug. 10-13, an international field of professional male and female cyclists will race more than 300 total miles on multiple circuits, with start and finish lines for each stage located in the same town. Racing begins in Colorado Springs on Aug. 10 with men's and women's races before moving to Breckenridge on Aug. 11 for a men's-only race. While the guys are in Breck, the women wrap up their portion of the Colorado Classic with a circuit event under the lights in Denver. The event wraps up on Aug. 12 and 13 with two men's races, also in Denver. Stay tuned to the Summit Daily for more info as the Colorado Classic gets closer.
The Breck Epic, Summit County's answer to the Leadville Trail 100 MTB, is just as big and just as burly as its counterpart: six stages, 240 total miles and roughly 40,000 vertical feet of climbing. Riders get it all, from Wheeler Trail up and over Breckenridge to the Colorado Trail and Mount Guyot. It's going to be painful, but it's not to be missed if you love spending hours in the saddle.
Registration is $899 for the full six-stage race or $549 for three-day chunks. Online registration closes on Aug. 10 at BreckEpic.com.
The sixth race in the Summit Mountain Challenge series is a doozy: time trial riding on the rough-and-rugged Peaks Trail from Breckenridge to Frisco. It's mostly downhill, but that doesn't mean it's easy. The distance is the same for all divisions and categories, with riders leaving at 30-second intervals.
Registration fees are the same as all other series events. To sign up, see the Peaks Trail Time Trial tab at MavSports.com.
Summit's first (and only) half-Iron Man is back for a second season with the first (and only) swim event at Dillon Reservoir. At a starting elevation of 9,000 feet and peak of nearly 10,300 feet, it's also the highest Iron Man of any distance in the world.
The 106° West Tri features two distances — a half-Iron Man and quarter-Iron Man — featuring a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run for the half distance on a course between the reservoir and Montezuma outside of Keystone. All participants must be 18 years old or older for the half, or 14 years old or older for the quarter. Pre-registration is closed and regular registration hasn't opened yet, so keep an eye on the website for details this May at 106WestTri.com.
One of the longest-running mountain bike races in Breckenridge returns for its 33rd season this September. Dubbed the "last big race in the High Country," The Fall Classic doubles as the final event in the Summit Mountain Challenge series, taking riders on a small course (21 miles, 3,000 vertical feet of climbing) and a big course (30 miles, 4,800 vertical feet of climbing) over the area's best trails: French Gulch trails, Flumes trails, Boreas Pass, good-old Humbug Hill and more.
Registration is open now at $50 for adults, $30 for juniors (ages 11-18) and free for juniors younger than 10 years old. Fees include a post-race meal and party at Carter Park in Breck. For more info, see The Fall Classic tab at MavSports.com.

Inscrutable Skiing Scruples
You may have noticed that the USA's alpine skiers didn't do so well in the recent Olympics. I've got a theory about that. A fair portion, nay a majority, of the worthwhile skiing areas in the States is not coastal, but significantly inland, sheltered behind coastal ranges. Consequently, they receive lighter, drier snow, not Cascade Concrete or the Atlantic equivalent. Kids who grow up skiing at these areas live for powder days, as evidenced by the local paper reporting that nearly 1 in 6 students were absent from the local high school following "the storm of the year." Their health was reportedly "going downhill." Contrast this ethic with the inscrutable scruples of ski racing where
Course workers pulled an all-nighter to prepare the Giant Slalom course for yesterday's race, trying to get rid of all the powder and scrape it down to that bulletproof ice that only a ski racer could love.Not only are the majority of American ski areas blessed with conditions imperfect for ski racing, but also they are culturally skewed against conditions conducive for racing.

Yup, It's a Yepp
About six months ago I broke down and bought a digital audio player after six months or better of looking for the correct device and price. I settled on a Samsung Yepp, specifically a YP-MT6Z, for which I paid $117 including cheap skate shipping at futureusa.com, refurbished. It's a 1 GB flash based player of mp3s, oggs, etc, as well as an FM receiver and mp3 encoder. In all ways but looks and naming I believe it excels similar devices on the market for value.
In general I've been very pleased with the device.
- It works well with Linux. It mounts nicely as a mass storage usb device without incident.
- The UI really isn't too goofy. The hardest aspect for me was figuring out how to turn it on.
- A standard AA battery powers the device, an enormous advantage over players, such as iPods, which have integrated rechargeable batteries because when my Yepp's $10 worth of 4 rechargeable batteries eventually give out, it'll cost me just another $10. When my friend's fancy iPods' batteries give out, it'll cost them much more to replace. Moreover, if I ever forgot to recharge my player's battery, grabbing a fresh one is simple; try that with a pretty iPod.
- FM reception is reasonable. It's certainly not as good my alarm clock radio and is roughly equivalent to a $20 walkman style radio from Wal-Mart.
- The ogg audio file format is well supported. I've not found a quality setting or sampling rate in my casual examination that couldn't be played.
- Output levels can be cranked. 20 mW of output seem to be enough to drown out my lawn mower, which is impressive.
- It seems to be a hardy little device having suffered the dampness of being sweated on and soaked in melting snow and the impacts of drops and my general clumsiness.
- It really is a small device with a readable screen. I think it's a more portable size than an iPod Nano and more practical than an iPod Shuffle.
I am displeased with the device in a few ways.
- Long start up times are annoying.
- If my hand hits the device stowed in my pocket while I run, the shock seems large enough to cause the device to reset. Given the preceeding point, this is rather annoying. Given that the device doesn't pick up at the point at which it left off, this flaw is really annoying.
- Occasionally, my YP-MT6Z will skip to the next track partway through a file. I've updated firmware and such, but the problem persists. The issue does seem to be software related because the skipping is deterministic.
- Fast forward isn't fast enough for skipping to the last 10 minutes of an hour long podcast.
- The name. So nerdy, it's even painful for me.
I can't comment on the quality of the earbuds that come with the device as they fell victim to my bike's spokes early. Neither can I comment on the player's ability to play Windows Media files or to interoperate with any form of music service; I indemnify my bike for my ignorance in the latter, however.
All the same, I recommend the device if you're in the market for flashed based MP3/Ogg player and aren't addicted to iTunes.

text: Thanks for your help. Years ago, probably way before your time, there was a state of the art computer called a G5. It was so powerful there would never again be the need to upgrade. The OS and software were cutting edge and all who saw were gob smacked. So, the G5 having been discontinued 4 years and 10 days ago, and Tiger under 3 years ago, things are different. I can't connect my phone to my computer through usb or bluetooth. Is it faulty hardware on my end or are they known to be incompatible? Thanks again for any help..

We started out the morning with a trip to the baby hospital. The facility was clean and you could tell the Wrights and teams had done some work. The system is so different than American hospitals. Here there is a room with 2-4 twin bed frames. If a child is sick and needs to come to the hospital the mother must bring them. They must also provide their own mattresses, blankets and food. The mother and baby stay in the room together with the mom taking care of the child.
We met a little girl named Rosa who had been abandoned at the hospital weeks earlier. She was so cute – yet so small. She was so sensitive to touch. If you caressed her hand with your finger she would almost flinch. After a while she started to smile.
We then moved to the newborn room. There were two babies there. One was a few months old and slept the whole time the other was only four days old and had been abandoned. They placed the baby in Roberts's arms and the head doctor asked for us to name her. Robert spoke up not realizing they were serious.- thru blog reading I knew they were. After he realized how serious they were he chose the name Julia for her. Dawsyn got to hold Julia and spent the rest of the day asking to bring home Juliia.
So now Dawsyn wants to bring home Julie and the boys want Sasha.
After the baby hospital we went back to the apartment and got ready to go to the hot springs. We met a group of 80 kids from Red River Orphanage at the hot springs. The large pool was supposed to be open – they had called ahead – but was not. So the group was divided into boys and girls. The girls went into the small pool first while the boys hiked the mountain. Then they switched. Mason did such a good job with the boys. Most of these guys were between the ages of 10-15. All of the kids have some sort of disability (a cleft lip is considered a disability) Mason allowed the boys to climb on his back and he gave them dolphin rides thru the water.
We got to see tow of the boys whose parents have been waiting two years to bring them home. What great boys – so well behaved and cute.
After swimming and hiking all the kids were given puffed popcorn, a juice box and a piece of chocolate. Then all 80 kids plus caregivers climbed back on a bus and went back. We headed over to Jayne and David's for an American dinner.

Basically, The Hills boys had a concert at Southern University where about 400 people attended. They didn't want to perform b/c of the lack of attendance, so they cancelled the show right before it started. Obviously, everyone wants a refund and they should be entitled to it. The tickets were sold at several different places. One of the places being at Southern University will call. About 92 to be exact were bought at will call. Read the story:
The Hills Boys say since we aired the story, more than 7,000 people called claiming they were ticket holders. Oscar Hills says only 92 tickets were purchased at will call

Cyrus took Babylon in October 539 BC. Herodotus explains that the Persians entered Babylon by diverting the waters of the Euphrates into a canal. The water level dropped to the height of a man's thigh. The Persian army was then able to enter the city. Cyrus arrested Nabonidus and took the titles King of Babylon, Sumer, and Akkad.

When I entered Babilani as a friend and when I established the seat of the government in the palace of the ruler under jubilation and rejoicing, Marduk, the great lord, induced the magnanimous inhabitants of Babilani to love me, and I was daily endeavoring to worship him.... As to the region from as far as Assura and Susa, Akkade, Eshnunna, the towns Zamban, Me-turnu, Der as well as the region of the Gutians, I returned to these sacred cities on the other side of the Tigris the sanctuaries of which have been ruins for a long time, the images which used to live therein and established for them permanent sanctuaries. I also gathered all their former inhabitants and returned them to their habitations. Furthermore, I resettled upon the command of Marduk, the great lord, all the gods of Kiengir and Akkade whom Nabonidus had brought into Babilani to the anger of the lord of the gods, unharmed, in their former temples, the places which make them happy.
Cyrus is mentioned by name by Isaiah
This prophecy of Isaiah is dated c.700BC Isaiah 44:28-45:3 'That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.'
Cyrus was very happy when he was shown the prophecy of Isaiah
Ezra 1:2-3 'Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.'
Jeremiah's 70 year captivity
'And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.' Jeremiah 29:10 'For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.'

Beware of imitations.
Apparently, there are others parading around with MY NAME on their birth certificates. This is not good, my friends. Case in point:
Corey Montana Davis
This, my friends, is quite simply not me. Although he might look friendly enough, I sincerely hope that you would not fall for this trickery. After all, I simply cannot ride a bull to save my life, and my middle name is definitely not "Montana".
Next up on the list is this guy:
This website says that his name is "Corey Davis", but don't be fooled. Just because he's a college professor doesn't mean that he can be trusted. I mean, anyone who pretends to be me must CLEARLY be delusional.
See the kid wearing the white pajamas?
The one kicking in the air?
This website claims that he is, in fact, Corey Davis. Codswallop. I've never worn white pajamas in my entire life (nor do I plan to). Outrageous! By the way, for those of you who are astute of heart and hope to one day hone your observational skills, here is a dead giveaway that this young fellow is an imposter: He's too short. I may be short (5'-6" for all of you doubters), but I'm not that short.
If you, or someone you love, ever comes across any of these "imitation" Corey Davis's, remember this simple fact: NONE OF THEM WILL EVER BE ME! So, don't listen to them; they won't know what they're talking about.

- Corey Davis said...

- AC (thermostat not included) said...
I'll give you a case of SPAM if you post the pics. After all. SPAM is the mystery meat.

Young adulthood brings with it a unique set of challenges that may inspire growth and resiliency if approached in a healthy, informed way. During this phase of life, we transition from student to professional and our expectations of ourselves may also transition.
Relationships evolve, careers begin and grow and along the way we are developing into the adult we want to be. Often during this time of change we may lose sight of our values which can make this navigation more challenging.
I am here to provide guidance and help you explore your values and make goals to live the rich, fulfilling life you want to live, regardless of life circumstances including: anxiety, depression, loss of someone or something important, work and relationship challenges, ADHD, thoughts of suicide, struggling to overcome set-backs and many others.
My approach to therapy is a collaborative one in which you are the driver. Together we will identify your unique challenges and create goals for therapy to help you become more resilient and able to thrive in life rather than just get by. A positive therapeutic relationship is important to this process and one that I strive to build through respect, trust, communication and collaboration with you.
First Session
During our first meeting, we will talk about your reason(s) for seeking therapy. I will ask about your family, medical, social, work, school, and (if any prior) treatment histories. Next, we will decide on goals for therapy and frequency of sessions. Finally, if I find it may be helpful, I will ask you to sign a release of information form for each person you identify as important to your treatment. This will allow me to communicate with the person(s) you identify regarding information relevant to your care.
Following the first meeting, we will continue to get to know one another and work toward achieving your goals. Along the way we may find they need to be changed or another goal may arise. Therapy is a process and yours is unique.
Meeting times are available Monday-Friday both day and evening hours and last 50 minutes.
What we talk about in our sessions stays between you and me. There are times, however, when talking with others may be helpful to make sure you have more support. This is why I have you sign a release of information form for each person you agree to let me talk with. I will always let you know if I plan to talk with someone you have given me permission to talk with and you will know what I will be sharing with them. If at any time you decide you would no longer like me to communicate with an identified person(s), I will honor your request.

Amplitude Modulation Index & Depth
- amplitude modulation index and modulation depth are key parameters for any AM transmission as it is necessary to keep the index or depth within limits to reduce distortion and interference.
Amplitude Modulation Tutorial includes
It is often necessary to define the level of modulation that is applied to a signal.
In order to have a standard method of achieving this a factor or index known as the modulation index is widely used for this. A complementary figure known as the amplitude modulation depth is also seen on many occasions.
As an indicator of the level of modulation on an amplitude modulated signal, the modulation index is important - too low a level of modulation and the modulation does not utilise the carrier efficiently - too high and the carrier can become over modulated causing sidebands to extend out beyond the allowed bandwidth causing interference to other users.
AM modulation index basics
Modulation indices are described for various forms of modulation. The amplitude modulation, AM, modulation index can be defined as the measure of extent of amplitude variation about an un-modulated carrier.
As with other modulation indices, the modulation index for amplitude modulation, AM, indicates the amount by which the modulated carrier varies around its static un-modulated level.
When expressed as a percentage it is the same as the depth of modulation. In other words it can be expressed as:
A is the carrier amplitude.
M is the modulation amplitude and is the peak change in the RF amplitude from its unmodulated value.
From this it can be seen that for an AM modulation index of 0.5, the modulation causes the signal to increase by a factor of 0.5 and decrease to 0.5 of its original level.
Amplitude modulation depth
A complementary figure to modulation index is also used for amplitude modulation signals. Known as the modulation depth, it is typically the modulation index expressed as a percentage.
Thus a modulation index of 0.5 would be expressed as a modulation depth of 50%, etc.
However often the two terms and figures are used interchangeably and figures for a modulation index of 50% are often seen where the index is 0.5.
Modulation index / modulation depth examples
Typically the modulation index of a signal will vary as the modulating signal intensity varies. However some static values enable the various levels to visualised more easily.
Amplitude modulated index of 0.5
When the modulation index reaches 1.0, i.e. a modulation depth of 100%, the carrier level falls to zero and rise to twice its non-modulated level.
Amplitude modulated index of 1.0
Any increase of the modulation index above 1.0, i.e. 100% modulation depth causes over-modulation. The carrier experiences 180° phase reversals where the carrier level would try to go below the zero point. These phase reversals give rise to additional sidebands resulting from the phase reversals (phase modulation) that extend out, in theory to infinity. This can cause serious interference to other users if not filtered.
Amplitude modulated index of more than 1.0
i.e. over-modulated
Broadcast stations in particular take measures to ensure that the carries of their transmissions never become over modulated. The transmitters incorporate limiters to prevent more than 100% modulation. Hover they also normally incorporate automatic audio gain controls to keep the audio levels such that near 100% modulation levels are achieved for most of the time.

Malema and the EFF have agitated for a land reform programme that would make the state the custodian of all land in South Africa, arguing that black South Africans had been forcefully dispossessed, and that land should be returned to its "rightful owners".
Speaking to delegates at the SA Property Owners Association (Sapoa) convention at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, Malema said: "This country was founded on a disruption, a crime against humanity, of which property owners sitting at this convention were the beneficiaries."
He said colonialism and apartheid were a disruption of the property relations of the native population, in favour of a racist, anti-black colonial property order.
"That is still the reality of the black majority today. Every 20 years between 1946 and 2010 there was a property boom in South Africa," said Malema.
He said these booms were often preceded by increased state capital expenditure.
"This means, sitting here today are beneficiaries of a crime against humanity.
"And you are also the greatest beneficiaries of a post-apartheid order.
"You benefited from the oppression of the property-less, today you also benefit from a democracy that was brought by the property-less, yet they still remain in that position as you have gotten richer," said Malema.
He said the commercial property sector was worth R5.8trillion with land zoned for commercial and residential developments worth R520billion.
Malema said Sapoa's members controlled approximately 90% of all commercial and industrial properties in South Africa.
He said that according to the "Transformation Sector Chapter Council", of the R2 trillion commercial property market, black ownership was at less than 1%.
"The Property Sector Charter has failed drastically in the past due to its unbinding nature, thus the industry remains untransformed," said Malema.
He said the property sector had to actively support the fight against corruption instead of being keyboard warriors on Twitter and Facebook, saying that soon government corruption would affect their bottom lines.
"They will steal elections, use security forces to suppress opposition.
"We are heading right in the direction of a state and institutional failure; we are fast approaching the highest state of lawlessness.
"But in the final analysis, you should also take the blame. You are among those who demonise the Freedom Charter, you demonise state-led industrial development, at the centre of which is a State Bank, land expropriation without compensation, state mining companies and free quality education," said Malema.

Console or sofa tables : Bamboo pub table.
Console Or Sofa Tables
- A sofa table is not unlike a Pembroke table, having similar folding flaps which are hinged and can be raised and held by concealed brackets. The flaps are, however, at the narrow ends of the top, and the supports of the table vary in design; they are never straight, as in the Pembroke.
- are similar to Pembroke tables and usually have longer and narrower tops. They were specifically designed for placement directly in front of sofas for serving tea, writing, dining, or other convenient uses.
- (in drop-leaf table (furniture))
- The cabinet or enclosure containing the keyboards, stops, pedals, etc., of an organ
- comfort: give moral or emotional strength to
- a scientific instrument consisting of displays and an input device that an operator can use to monitor and control a system (especially a computer system)
- A cabinet for television or radio equipment
- console table: a small table fixed to a wall or designed to stand against a wall
- A panel or unit accommodating a set of controls for electronic or mechanical equipment
this console is now an oversized talk back and monitor level controller, thanks to the digital age.
my favorite because this place just makes me feel good. it's a place of creative expression, heartfelt interpretation, permanent capturing of sound waves and unattainable potential.

A/NZ audio visual and videoconferencing reseller, Evidence Technology, recently installed a videoconferencing solution, Vidyo, to connect independently-owned mortgage broker, Mortgage Choice's five state offices and group office.
Vidyo is a software-based nationwide videoconferencing network designed for standard IP networks, including the Internet and 3G, and uses H264/SVC technology for seamless high-definition video conferencing.
"We needed a solution that allows us to collaborate with our geographically dispersed state offices and franchisees, particularly for our sales and professional development programs," Mortgage Choice CIO, Neill Rose-Innes, said.
The videoconferencing platform includes a combination of meeting room and desktop systems designed to better link Mortgage Choice employees locally.
Evidence Technology CEO, Peter Carter, said improving the Vidyo architecture to 'heal' itself – by adapting to whatever network bandwidth is available if the central system breaks, counters the issues they face with the NBN.
"The first problem is that we are seeing a greater demand for a federated videoconferencing system – the bringing together of all the existing videoconference systems. Secondly, the old model is based on a mainframe idea. You bring them both together and it reduces the quality of videoconferencing," he added.
The company is extending its reach into the mobile and social media realms by introducing an app, Vidyo Mobile, for Android and Apple devices.
The free app will be available for download from Apple's app store by the end of June for the iPhone and iPad and is currently available for the Android platform.
It also now powers Google's GoogleChat.
Vidyo country manager A/NZ, Rob Hastings, said "The major network providers are stating that Vidyo can grow by as much as five times in the next five years."
Hastings was recently appointed local head of Vidyo. He is the company's first local appointment and it is yet to make the announcement officially.
He has had over 25 years experience in the channel, specifically in the voice and data network area, in companies including Samsung, Oveya, Alcatel and Siemens.
Vidyo was introduced to the Australian market in 2008 with Alloys as its distributor.

What's Your Child's Learning Style?
We all learn differently, at a different pace, and with a different learning style. In this post,
Tutoring Center, Rosenberg TX
will focus on learning styles and how to identify them.
What is a learning style?
A learning style is the preferred way in which a student comprehends and retains information. Some people find it easy to follow spoken instructions, while others perform better when they can read the same instructions. Learning is easier when it's adapted to better suit each individual. If you've ever wondered what your learning style is, read on to find out.
Why is Knowing Your Learning Style Important and How Can Tutoring in
Knowing which is your learning style can help you use it to your advantage. You can work with your strengths and improve in your weak areas.
Tutoring in Rosenberg TX
will help improve your learning abilities and work on your weak areas.
Visual Learners
Visual people learn by watching. When they are in a classroom they understand better by looking at the teacher's body language and facial expressions. They prefer to sit in the front where there are less obstructions. Visual learners like the use of images, graphic organizers, illustrated textbooks, and maps to fully grasp the information that is being presented. They enjoy taking very detailed notes and their notebooks are probably filled with doodles and colors. People who are really visual can easily visualize plans and outcomes in their mind. They have a good spatial sense, which gives them a good sense of direction. Since they understand maps, they rarely get lost.
Studying Tips for Visual Learners
Use mind maps. Instead of using long texts, use color and images to take notes. Be sure to have a variety of different colors or pens.
Visual words such as: imagine, see, picture, and map will help you make associations.
Using the visual story approach will make memorizing procedures much easier.
Diagrams will help you visualize the links in a system. Change key words for pictures and use highlighter to identify major and minor ideas.
Auditory Learners
Listening is what helps this type of learners the most. Lectures and group discussions are auditory learners' cup of tea. They are good at understanding underlying meaning in speech by listening to the tone of voice, pitch, speed, and many other details others take for granted. In the classroom, auditory learners prefer reading texts aloud and listening to instructions rather than reading them. Auditory learners are natural musicians because they have a good sense of rhythm and pitch. They can easily identify musical instruments and can be greatly moved by certain music.
Study Tips for Auditory Learners
Mnemonic exercises.
Include rhymes, music, and sound to make associations.
Use recordings to help you visualize procedures.
Any type of learner can benefit from

to find out about their many
programs and decide which one is right for you.
Physical/Kinesthetic Learners
These type of learners need to approach activities hands-on to fully comprehend ideas. They learn things by physically exploring how they work (putting back together a clock, for example).They are constantly in motion and find it hard to sit still for a long period of time. Kinesthetic learners enjoy physical activities such as: sports and exercise, as well as gardening or fixing things. They often think and get ideas while they're being active. When they speak, they probably use many hand gestures and even using their whole body to communicate.
Study Tips for Physical/Kinesthetic Learners
Re-do experiments made in class at home.
Role playing to review topics seen in class.
Use physical objects that can help you remember what you learned. Flashcards are good because you can move them around.
Remember that writing and drawing are physical activities as well.
Verbal Learners
Verbal learners love to read and/or write. They prefer to learn with words. They find it easy to express their thoughts by writing or speaking. These type of learners enjoy words and their many definitions, they like playing with tongue twisters, limericks, and anything like them.
Study Tips for Verbal Learners
Rewrite notes you already wrote.
Find main ideas and rewrite them in your own words.

Where Can You Get Premium WordPress Themes
Would you like to get Premium WordPress Theme?
Blogs are quite popular websites that everyone can create fairly easy. But often, if you think about making money from your blog, you want to make it as professional as possible. In order to do so, beside getting your own server and domain name, it's mandatory to get yourself premium WordPress theme.
WordPress is a CMS, and with proper template, it can be used as personal blog, company website, online store or anything you want. In order to make something more than just yet another blog, you need a premium theme.
Such theme got very professional design, and additional features that makes your blogging more easy. How to get such Premium Theme? There are few ways to do so, all of them I will describe below.
Design for Yourself
First way to get premium WordPress theme is to design it by yourself. This requires some coding and designing skill as follows:
- Graphic Design - so you should know your way around Photoshop.
- Coding - PHP and HTML skills are required.
- WordPress Skills - You need to know your way around WordPress tags and functions, too.
Learning all the mandatory things might take a lot of time. But if you already know Photoshop and HTML coding, all you have to do is to learn more about WP itself. I can suggest reading WordPress Codex - WP documentation.
Or, you can purchase the books below and learn a bit about coding and designing.
Learn Coding & Designing
Hire a Freelancer
If you can't design the them for yourself, you can always hire a freelancer. There are many job boards for coders and designer in the web. You can hire a freelancer, and he will design the them for you as you like it. But remember, such freelancer can take from $500 to $2000 per design.
If you're ready to pay, try this job board:
You can post job ad there for free. If you can't afford a freelancer, but you still want professional theme for your WordPress, you can purchase a stock.
Purchase the Theme
The final way to get the professional theme is to purchase it. There's a lot of so called stock marketplaces out there where you can purchase a theme for as little as $15 USD.
The trick with such marketplaces is simple - you won't get a unique theme, as everyone can purchase it. But this way, you make sure you got great professional WordPress theme for little money. Here are the places where you can purchase such premium themes.
First place is ThemeForest. It is very popular marketplace from Envato that offerst cheap WordPress themes (as well as other website templates), designed by professional web designers.
Thesis Theme
If you're tired of coding websites yourself, you can grab Thesis. This template for WordPress is very simple at first, but soon you will understand its true power. Literally ever single part of the website, from look to mechanics, can be changed from admin panel inside WordPress. No need to coding, all you have to do is to click around.
Finally, you can purchase subscription to Elegant Themes, and download unlimited number of premium WordPress themes the author of this website designed for you. Did I mention that you also get technical support?
Get yourself premium WordPress Theme
With professional premium theme, your WordPress website will look much better, and you will get more readers and customers. Not mentioning that we are visual people, and we simple like nice design.

In the lamb thread from a week ago, zim mentioned the Halal butchers on Devon as a good source for ground lamb, and presumably other meats as well. Can anyone recommend one over another for price or quality?
I found a G Wiv post touting Devon Avenue Meats in Park Ridge, but I didn't get a sense of how it compares to other Devon butchers. Heck it doesn't even have to be Devon, but at 4.75/lb at Paulina and 5.99/lb. at Fox and Obel, I'm looking for something a little cheaper. Chicago Halal (I think) grinds, e.g. 7 pounds of lamb leg at 2.49/lb. in to 5 lbs. ground lamb--about 3.50/per.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

A Market de-brief!
By Liz Johnston on 20 June 2016
Lazy River Estate Outdoor Pop-up Markets, held Sunday 12 June 2016 – the 3rd notch in our pop up market belt.
So, I organise over 300 events a year BUT the two market days are my most stressful events by far. There are SO many things that are out of my control. The quality of stall applicants, the weather, how many people attend and where people park (even with a parking management plan and a team of parking coordinators) is ALL out of my control!
This year was no exception; with a wedding the night before, 85 stall holders, an earlier bump-in time and rain forecast for 2 weeks we were in with a treat!
The fun all started on Friday while trying to mark out the stall holder sites and running into a few problems. Mainly, it was raining (as it had been for the 10 days prior) and the spray paint was water based and yellow (let me remind you, it was raining!). The last thing I wanted to do was walk around spray painting sites in the RAIN! All that kept going through my head was 'we should cancel – no one is going to walk around in the rain, on wet grass'. We persisted, hoped the rain wouldn't wash the paint away and waited to see what it look like the next day.
Saturday, the sun came out, it went away, it came out and then it went away again. There was a thought of rain but we crossed our fingers (and toes) and hoped it would go away.
The big day was finally here. Arriving at 5.30am with an ice covered windscreen I looked over the pitch black grounds and could already see the frost had set in. Great, more moisture; just what we needed. The sun was rising, we were trying to make out the stall sites (now covered in frost; note you cannot see yellow paint in a frost) and stall holders were arriving, we were on! Before we knew it, it was 8.30am and visitors were arriving. We had our parking coordinators in place and the stall holders were ready for a big day. With bumper to bumper traffic at 9am we knew we were in for a big crowd.
With over 3000 people through the door we couldn't have asked for a better day. The sun was shining, the weather was warm (ish) and Sydney Youth Orchestra was amazing! A few hiccups like people getting bogged in the exit gate and a bus unable to get up the hill created some entertainment and issues but unfortunately we can't prevent everything!
To be honest; opening a beer at 5pm, on the deck, watching the sunset over the stall holders packing up was definitely one of the highlights for me.
Bring on DECEMBER 11!!

"---------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple aims to boost bandwidth with 1.5GHz G4s By Andrew Orlowski in San Francisco Posted: 24/05/2002 at 09:29 GMT Recent word from sources close to Motorola confirm that a significant speed bump will be timed for MacWorld Expo in July, raising current bus speeds, and seeing new 7470-based G4s raise frequencies to as high as 1.5Ghz.

Response to John, you can install Blackberry Client on HTC handsets but as of yet the Client isn't compatible with Windows Mobile 6. So you'll have to wait until they iron out the bugs unfortunately. Until then you can use the Outlook client built into the phone. Hope this helps!
the reason why they dun equip this model with that high of a processor/ram is becuz many programs just exit now with the click of the X
apparently the older models with Windows Mobile 5 weren't advanced enough to have a [X] button instead of an [OK] button so it left any programs u opened before in the background which made the older WM5 phones lag too easily....... the HTC people told us that was why... =_=
i've been using this great touch since august...it only has one main problem:it doesn't show the name of ur received sms unless they r stored in int'l format(+336...).and when local numbers r stored in int'l format,the caller id will not identify them when calling you.Nokia is much smarter in this stuff...otherwise,it's a marvelous store&search engine.
i am using htc touch
i have some querry ...
is it possible to install blackberry application in any htc handset????
I just received my Touch & it is great. Very clean; compact & light.
Great phone.
the Negatives: small keyboard.
I reccomend
Hey ppl.... all the reviews i have read about this phone are great... just one question to current users... do u necesarily need to use the stylus to type msgs....?
Finally picked up a touch after learning that, UNOFFICIALLY, it functions as a quad band supporting the 850hz band! Another exilerating find is that it supports voice dialing and voice commands! Wonder why it is only listed as having voice memo? Overall, I'm loving this device!
guys is there any software for sending messages to multiple contacts? kindly mail me the relevant info at the under mentioned mail id, Thanx...!
email: email@example.com
actually i want a phone with good wifi and very good browser using my wifi. and can i use yahoo messenger on touch and price also counts.. i found this htc touch sleek and at good price. so should i go for it or do i have any other option?
who knows a sms program which can schedule messages, to be sent at a specified date & time. Its great for work as well as personal (B'days) & stuff.
hello I've just got my htc touch this week and it is greatbut i have a problem. i get an allert that i must empty some memory.It reads at my computer that i only have 2 mb free out of the 32mb thoughwhen exploring all i can find is less thN 7 MB of data on my internal memory so where is the rest of my memor , i havent installed so much data and my contact list is empy and i even didt insert a sim so what fills up my memory??? any help plz
This the best mobile phone so far. This will make a hit to those who like to be unique and style.
You can find Softwares & Themes for HTC Touch and other Windows Mobile 6 Handsets on the following websites:
Its all free stuff
Yes you can send SMS to multiple contacts at one time. Simply click on "To" in the SMS writing screen and select as many receipents as you want by repeating clicking "To" and selecting the Contacts from the list.
Great thanks a lot for the info but i am still confused between a windows phone and the NOKIA E 61 i .
I definately want to go in for the TOUCH and i am convinced about HTC as a compnay after reading your comments .
E 61i from Nokia on the other hand seems pretty advanced and I was also wondering how will i fair with a phone that has no keys although that should not be much
guys is there any program for sending multiple contacts? and how many sms messages can i store in this phone? please email me cuz i want to buy this phone
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Your question is not even accurate. The only model that has lower rating is just the 6300. Which is understandable, consider that monster is only good for the blind and nothing technologically advanced about the phone. Touch rating is most accurate rating of all models with TI 200 CPU. Who in their right mind would give a high rating for a 200MHz which is known to lag when multitask. Even HTC is moving away from TI CPU with their future models. As for the windows based brand, HTC is the only phone I would consider buying after having poor support experience from Mio, Gigabyte and O2. Even you can't get support from the manufacturer, you can still get support from the HTC fans at xda-developers. I dont think there is a fan site with the other brands. I dont have any comment about that girly color phone you mention. As I moved away from non windows based phone a long time ago.
we at carphone warehouse are being dim, does this come with a stylus?
thanks :D
Hi ,
I am looking for a phone better than Nokia9300 ,which I really find the functions very good , but the size is too big to carry .
Does HTC touch match in terms of functionality with Nokia 9300 communicator .
Please help me decide as I would like to make a quick shift from using large phones.

Ok, it might be weird but I have a crazy obsession with stars. I'm not sure if my mom read me twinkle-twinkle too many times when I was a child, but I feel a sense of good luck when I'm wearing something with stars on it. From jewelry to sneakers to clothes if it has a star on it, i'm buying it lol. Lately i've been coming across plenty of items with stars on them so while I was on a trip to Philadelphia recently, I decided to sport a head to "star inspired" look.
For this look I am wearing a dress from a cute little boutique in New York called Mulberry & Grand. It's mainly accessories and miscellaneous items such as candles etc but they have a rack of clothing with some great finds on there. Unfortunately I don't think this particular dress is available but I have you guys covered below with some similar items. My Star accessories are some amazing cheap & chic items from one of my favorite online shops Anarchy street, and you guys get 20% off Anarchy street items by using the code TANIA. For my shoes you guys know i'm all about comfort so I had to throw on my go-to sneakers by golden goose which of course have a huge star on the side on the shoe.
What crazy fashion obsessions do you guys have? Comment below!

Our last update on A&E's original series, "Bates Motel," came back in March, when it was announced that former "Lost" executive producer Carlton Cuse had been hired to run the joint. If that marked a positive direction for the show, then this next bit of news counts as a huge vote of confidence from the network, and perhaps signals that the remodeling of the "Bates Motel" is going rather well.
A&E has ordered ten episodes of the thriller series, which is being produced by Universal Television. This indicates that the network is so sure the show will be a killer that it doesn't even want to start with a pilot first and work from there (usual protocol for most series). Guess we'll learn who's checking into the "Bates Hotel" quite soon.
"Bates Motel" will give viewers an intimate understanding of how Norman Bates' psyche developed from his childhood through his teen years. Fans will have access to the dark, twisted backstory and learn first hand how his mother, Norma, and her lover damaged Norman, helping forge the most well-known serial killing motel owner in history.
A 2013 premiere is planned.
