Leyton Orient (1937–)Tottenham Hotspur Reserves
Brisbane Road, currently referred to as the Matchroom Stadium for sponsorship purposes, and originally known as Osborne Road, is a football stadium in Brisbane Road, Leyton, east London, England. It has been the home ground of Leyton Orient since 1937, before which it was the home of amateur football team Leyton F.C., who moved to the Hare and Hounds ground. The highest attendance at the ground was 34,345 for the visit of West Ham United in the 1964 FA Cup. It has hosted a number of England U-16 and England women's team matches. It hosted the 2007–08 FA Women's Premier League Cup final. It is also home of the Tottenham Hotspur Reserves. In 2012 Brisbane Road hosted the final of the inaugural NextGen series, a competition for the academy sides of elite clubs.[1]
Brisbane Road has seen several developments in its history, but due to the second world war the first major improvement was the levelling of a grass bank and crash barrier installation in 1949. The terracing behind the goals was improved again in 1952, 1959 and 1960. In 1956 a small seated stand was dismantled and replaced with a stand from the decrepit Mitcham Stadium, which held 2,600 fans. In 1962, with Leyton Orient gaining promotion to the First Division, another wing was added to the main stand making the seating total 3,500. In 1978 the West Stand was converted into all-seating. In 1996 the terracing at the southern end of the ground was demolished, and used as a car park while Lottery funding to build a stand was (unsuccessfully) sought. The South Stand was eventually built in 1999, and was renamed The Tommy Johnston Stand on 5 September 2008.[2]
The ground is named after Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn's sports promotion company, Matchroom Sport, prior to which it was officially the Leyton Stadium, though fans still refer to it as Brisbane Road. The club registered an interest into moving into the Olympic Stadium following the 2012 Olympics, as the original plan was for this to have a capacity of about 25,000; however, the club's average attendance of about 5,000 meant that this was not a viable move. The eventual bids from both West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur to move into the stadium,[3] with capacity nearer 60,000, effectively ended Orient's interest. Brisbane Road is in very close proximity to both the Olympic Park and also Hackney Marshes.
On 6 May 2012, Brisbane Road hosted a Super League game between London Broncos and Bradford Bulls due to works on the Broncos' home stadium Twickenham Stoop, with Bradford winning 22–29.
West Stand[edit]
Capacity: 2,918
The West Stand is the new main stand[4] at Brisbane Road and currently seats home supporters only. It has a capacity of 2,918, with 23 disabled supporters and their helpers. The letters L O F C are marked into the seats in black. It is also home to the club's offices, and the club shop and ticket office are at the back of this stand. There is also a row of executive seating (the Directors' Balcony) above the main seating which overhangs the rest of the stand, and the Olympic Suite which offers corporate hospitality. This stand also has premium seating (with its own bar) in its centre, known as the Gallery. It has two refreshment outlets at either end underneath the stand and it is accessed by turnstiles at either end via Oliver Road, or via the main reception for Gallery members and Olympic Suite diners.
The players' changing rooms are also located underneath this stand and players emerge from the tunnel here. The dugouts are also located at the front of this stand after being moved from the opposite East Stand for the start of the 2006–07 season.
East Stand[edit]
Capacity: 3,636
The East Stand, previously the main stand, is the oldest stand at Brisbane Road and is used by both home and away supporters. When an away team is allocated the entire stand for safety or other reasons, Orient fans in the North half of the stand are required to move elsewhere to accommodate the extra away fans. The capacity of the Northern end of this stand is 2,133 and the Southern end is 1,459. There are also executive seats in the middle of the stand (the old directors' box, now known as the Wyvern Suite) but these are not ordinarily used by any supporters.
- East Stand North: 2,133 with 15 disabled supporters and their helpers
- East Stand South (away): 1,459 with seven disabled supporters and their helpers
North Family Stand[edit]
Capacity: 1,381
The recently built North Stand was completed for the start of the 2007–08 season and is currently used as a family stand. It replaces a former open terrace, and has a capacity of 1,351 with provision for 15 disabled supporters and their helpers, and has the letters L O F C marked into the seats in black. Access to this stand is by turnstiles at each end of the stand and there are two refreshment outlets located underneath the stand.
Tommy Johnston Stand[edit]
Capacity: 1,336
This stand was built in 1999 and was formerly called the South Stand. It was renamed in 2008 in memory of Leyton Orient's record goalscorer Tommy Johnston. It is currently for home supporters only and has a capacity of 1,336. It has a refreshment outlet and a bar underneath the stand and is accessed through turnstiles from Buckingham Road. It has the word ORIENT marked into the seats in white. A large block of flats backs on to the stand.

Existence of a "god" or not is not part of a religious discussion IMO.
In religion there is "one god" and if you believe in another "god" or if you have absence of belief, you are going to suffer.
Now, when you talk about atheists, you talk about the internet trolls that think they have absence of belief but they are just angry at(their own opinion of what is) god, right?
Because an actual atheist doesn't believe in what religions consider god. This doesn't mean that atheists don't believe in anything greater than us. For example nature is greater than us, we are part of nature, not nature itself.
About god, I have no belief in a god. Everything is what everything is, actions and reactions controled by no god but the actions and recations themselves. Although, I can't say I wouldn't be fancinated if we figure out that everything, included us was created by an inteligent species.

Lets say I am using
$.post in jQuery. The correct syntax for that is
$.post("xxx.php",{/*options*/},function(data)) How can I make it so that, in this case,
xxx.php doesn't actually show up in the JavaScript. Can I put a relative path like
/login or something. And if that were to work, would it be referenced to the
index.php file in there. Or, can I use an encoded version, which seems pointless because you can easily decode it. I just don't want people seeing directly into my paths, and than making extra scripts to make sure the files were visited by a
XHTTP request.
Any answers, links, or ideas are appreciated.

Growing up, I never really left the southern United States. Sad, I know, but it is what it is. We did go on an Alaskan cruise and a Caribbean cruise, but that was pretty much it. I always had a passion for other cultures, traveling, and photography. These passions can't really be fulfilled living in Alabama.
So, once I graduated from high school, I packed it up and moved to beautiful eastern Tennessee at the base of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park to go to Maryville College. Four years of a small, liberal arts college set at the foothills of an amazing mountain was life-changing. We were pushed to travel and do things differently, but I never had the money to travel abroad.
So, after graduating, I packed it up once again and moved to Sacramento, California to spend a year in AmeriCorps NCCC. I spent a year traveling on the west coast spending anywhere from a week to 2 months in various cities on the western part of the country. We did service with non-profits and government agencies. So, in a span of 10 months, I planted trees for Sacramento Tree Foundation and led the Christmas program for Salvation Army in Sacramento. I painted houses at Commonweal Retreat Center in Bolinas, CA. I taught reading and worked at an after school program in Green River, Utah. I completely renovated a house and did fuel reduction at a camp in Polson, Montana. I shoveled snow for 3 weeks in July in Tahoe, CA. And lastly, I worked for the Mendocino National Forest Service doing trail work.
Upon finishing our 10 months of service, 3 friends and I road tripped from Sacramento all the way to Alaska for 3 weeks. After driving over 8000 miles to North Pole, Alaska and back we made our way back to our respective hometowns.

Meet Jason Halayko. Originally born in Victoria, B.C., Canada, he has called Japan home for the last 14 years. He currently focuses on shooting action sports for companies like Red Bull, which has him photographing everything from skateboarding to breakdancing. In addition, he can often be found taking portraits and photographing the streets, saying that he really enjoys anything that gets him behind the camera. His introduction to photography was back in high school, when his friend advised him to take a beginner photography course. It was a great class that taught Jason the fundamentals, and has since developed into a dynamic and action-packed photography career.
Check out all of the interesting things Jason has to say about what went into the creation of his new website, and then be sure to head over to jason-halayko.com to see his exciting portfolio.

JH: Clean, simple, intuitive.
Q: How do you choose the photos that you display on your homepage?
JH: I typically try to choose the newest photos, with the biggest impact, to show on my homepage. This is to try to hook viewers into checking out more of the website.
Q: How often do you typically update your website?
JH: I typically update my website whenever I get an image I really like and want to show to the world. This could be once a week, or every couple of months. It all depends on what I am shooting.
Q: What is your favorite new feature of liveBooks8?

As photographers, we often discuss the placement of the subject within the frame, which elements are included or excluded, and what is happening at the edges of the frame. But, trying to capture the essence, or the experience of a subject deals with more than knowing the Rule of Thirds. Its the ability to tell a story, and its the difference between making a picture and taking one.
When I'm photographing in any given location, there are things going on outside the scope of my frame that are influencing me. There is the temperature, sounds of wildlife and the aroma of wildflowers. All of my senses are engaged in the moment. My job is to convey that sensation via a photograph viewed by someone who has maybe never been to this place while making them feel as though they were there. To make them feel as if they know the place.
This connection between subject and viewer is vital, whether the subject is a person, a landscape or an architectural structure. It is especially important for landscape work, because if the viewer doesn't feel a connection, they won't care about the subject, nor feel the need to protect it. Two methods that I employ to communicate experience of place are creating a mood and point of view.
Creating a mood helps tell a story. For example, let's say I'm photographing in one of my favorite national parks, Death Valley. If I want the story to be about the harsh environment and its rugged ecosystem, I'll photograph during the middle of the day when the sun is high and there is high contrast and stark shadows. If instead the story is about how "Death Valley" is a misnomer and there is great beauty and abundant life, I'll photograph before and during sunrise, and during and after sunset to get pastel, cool colors and low contrast. Choosing an appropriate lighting style renders the landscape in a way that supports the narrative.
Point of view is about camera placement. I order for objects to look larger than life and more iconic, I like to have the camera lower than average eye level. I also look for opportunities to have objects, such as branches, enter the edges of the frame to give the viewer a sense that they are emerging from one place to another. I want them to feel enveloped by the implied surroundings that lie outside of the frame.
There are many techniques that can be used for effective storytelling and for finding your voice as a photographer. The above are merely examples. Connecting the viewer with the subject is far more important than simply making a pretty picture. As Ansel Adams once said; "A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is a true expression of what one feels about life in it's entirety."

We've all been there. You're plugging away on your new site, your images are filling the space just as you imagined, your design is coming to life….and then you sit down to write your 'About Me' page, and suddenly your momentum stops. Summarizing (and more importantly selling) yourself as an artist and business owner in just a few short paragraphs is a daunting task. How do you let potential clients know just how amazing you are while convincing them to employ you over someone else in your industry?
Your about me page should give your audience a small glimpse into what it would be like to work with you. Take a moment to step back from selling your product and focus on selling yourself as an individual. To make things simple, we are going back to the old elementary school technique of identifying the 5W's and an H. Now, you are going to be answering these questions yourself and will use the answers to guide the content on your about me page.
The who, what, where, when, why & how of your about me page:
Who am I trying to reach?
Decide who your target audience is. Research them, check out their social media, study their demographic, and use this to dictate the tone of your about me page. Are you a photographer trying to reach potential brides or families? Maybe try a more personable and casual tone. Are you trying to reach out to advertising companies or newspapers? Maybe a formal approach is the way to go. Whatever you decide, make sure that the feel of your about me page matches the feel of the rest of your brand experience in addition to where you want to see your image going in the future.
Pro-tip: Find someone in your target audience, whether it be a friend, sibling, coworker, fellow patron at a coffee shop, or a stranger on the street, and ask them to read your about me page. Ask them what their first impression is and if they would like to hire you as a result of what they read. Ask them if it is easy to read and holds their attention. This is key! If the above feedback is positive, your about me page is well on its way to grabbing the attention of your future clients.
What makes me special?
Regardless of what industry you are in, we know that you believe your services are the best, and we know that you want to share them with the world. However, what if we told you that no one cares about what you have to offer? It is your responsibility to make people care. It's time to introduce the face behind the brand and services that you are selling throughout your site. Keeping your target audience in mind, what makes you stand out in the crowd? What makes you different and more desirable than the rest? Creatively let your audience know this as you sell yourself as an individual through your about me page.
Where do you see yourself in 6 months? 1 year? 5 years?
Have you made your business plan yet? Though it may not seem related to a simple about me page, it is absolutely vital to know and understand where you want to take your business in the future. As you create and publish content, you are creating an online brand and image for yourself that will stick with you for years to come. In todays day and age, most consumers are not only looking to buy a product, they are looking for an entire brand experience. Create goals and work to create a cohesive online image that will guide you towards your aspirations. Additionally, let your audience know what you would like to do. You never know who may be looking for the exact services that you are dreaming about offering!
When I am not working, I like to ______.
Don't be afraid to let your audience know who you are as an individual. What do you do when you aren't working? How do you enjoy spending your time? Is there anything about you that you think clients may relate to? This is a pretty important piece of the puzzle that will allow your web audience to connect with you on a personal level.
For example, maybe you absolutely love traveling and spend most of your free time dreaming about your next destination. Include this in your about me page! Odds are, there are plenty of people in your audience that feel the exact same way and would instantly be connected to you as an individual. While this could have the potential to turn certain clients off, it could also catch the eye of the exact person that you are trying to work with. We all want clients we mesh well with, right?
Why do I do what I do?
Take a moment to reflect on the days when you were just getting started in your specific industry. What was it that sparked your interest into getting into business? That kept you motivated and excited to create new content during the toughest times? What keeps you going now? Take a moment to think. Find something meaningful. Find something that will resonate with your target audience. Maybe include the story of the exact moment you knew you wanted to make something more out of your hobby, or tell your audience about your hopes and dreams for the future. The most important thing is to not only tell your viewers what you do but why you do it as well. Step back from selling your services for a moment (that's what the rest of your site is for!) and share a little bit of the soul behind your business.
How can people reach me?
Now that you have people hooked on who you are as an artist, let your audience know how they can easily get into contact with you. Include links to your contact information and social media profiles on your about me page to ensure that interested customers understand the best ways to stay connected with you.
Pro-tip: Think about including a photo of yourself on your about me page (Bonus points if it is an image of you in action!). Though this is not directly related to getting into contact with you, this will allow your potential customers to connect with you on a personal level while identifying a face with the name on your brand.
While it is not necessary to include each and every aspect listed above in your about me page, it is important to put quite a bit of thought into crafting the language and content of your about me page in a strategic manner. Ready to get started?
Angela has had a love for makeup since her 12th birthday, when her mother took her to get her makeup done.

We love an image with a story, and we are so excited to share the making of this stunning image by Anne-Marie Caruso with you.
Titled Bioluminesence, this image was originally shot with a Graflex Speed Graphic on Kodak Portra color film, ISO 400.
Anne-Marie Caruso is an editorial photographer, located in New Jersey. Though she spends much of her time photographing portraits, still life, food, products, fashion & home interiors, she also enjoys focusing on shooting personal projects on 4×5 film. See more of her enchanting work here.
I had an image stuck in my head of a woman collecting glowing creatures to use as a light source in her home. I come up with these elaborate ideas, and then I have to figure out how to make them happen.
The first step to making my vision a reality was finding a location. Luckily, my brother has this gorgeous stream a short walk from his home.
The next task was to find the right lights to put in the stream. I bought different colors, and narrowed it down to a bright white that looked blueish green under the water. I then ordered a bunch of the waterproof solar powered lights, but half of them were broken when they arrived. After a couple of weeks back and forth, I had enough lights to fill the frame. I did some lighting tests around the blue hour to get a rough idea of how long of an exposure I would need. If memory serves, it was about 30 seconds.
I already had my model in mind – we've been friends since the 7th grade. She did an amazing job! Even though she was getting attacked by mosquitos, she held still for 30 seconds at a time. She is dressed in an old nightgown that belonged to my grandmother.
I used an Alien Bees 400ws with battery pack to light the left bank, and one with a beauty dish to light the model. An SB-800 is diffused in the basket and is lighting her face. A couple SB-800's are used to light the foliage behind the model. I didn't want it to be jet-black behind here. And of course, there are all the underwater lights. They came on strands like Christmas lights. I had to weigh them down with rocks and tent stakes, so the currents wouldn't wash them away.
I used a long exposure to get the blue in the sky behind the trees (I liked the way it mimicked the lights in the water), as well as giving more of a soft and dreamy look to the water. The tripod was set up in the middle of the stream with heavy duty garbage bags to keep the legs dry. I wore pair of waders to keep my legs dry.
I set everything up early in the day, with the help of my husband (it took a few hours), and then we had to wait for the sun to go down. The actual shooting part only lasted about 10 minutes. I shot a few frames on film, and some with a digital camera (God forbid anything ever happened with the film).
I am very happy with the way it turned out – exactly how I pictured it in my head. It was a lot of planning, but I think it was worth it in the end.

Jill's interest in photography began in high school and continued into college. Taking elective photography classes soon led to picking up photography as a hobby, which has since turned into her career. This is her story:
After college, I travelled around the world for seven months before returning home to San Francisco to find a 'real job.' I took photos with a point-and-shoot camera to chronicle my time abroad. The positive feedback that I received from my photographs when I returned home encouraged me to submit my work to a variety of photography exhibitions, invest in a better camera, and figure out a way to continue traveling while improving my portfolio. Eventually, I decided to enroll in the Academy of Art University in San Francisco to pursue a master's in Fine Arts degree in photography. For my Master's thesis project, I chose to spend nine months documenting life in the Himalayas. I travelled throughout Nepal, India, Kashmir, Bhutan and Tibet, working with a variety of non-profit agencies. In 2009, I won a National Geographic YourShot photography contest, and I had my first photograph published in National Geographic Magazine. This was the opening that I needed to move my photography career to the next level. Since 2011, my photography has been represented by National Geographic Creative. In 2012, I received my first assignment from National Geographic Books and was sent to Sydney, Australia for five weeks to photograph the National Geographic Traveler: Sydney Guidebook. Following that, I became an intern and then freelance photographer for the San Francisco Chronicle. Since 2011, I have been spending my summers teaching photography to high school students in countries all over the world for National Geographic Student Expeditions.
At home in San Francisco, I photograph events, editorial, lifestyle, architectural and food-related shoots. I also provide private/group and corporate photography workshops, mentoring and portfolio reviews.
My style is my own personal vision of stories I am drawn to, that are unique to me. I photograph issues and iconic places which I find compelling. My goal is to create a visual of places in the world many people may not have seen while exposing them to the beauty and reality of cultures they may not have experienced.

Q: How would you describe the aesthetic of your website in three words?
JS: Bright, colorful, exotic
Q: How often do you typically update your website?
JS: I typically update my website every few months, after any trip that I take, or whenever I have new work to show.
Q: How do you choose the photos that you display on your homepage?
JS: For my homepage, I typically pick photos that I am particularly drawn to. No specific formula. I choose photos that are vibrant, colorful, thought provoking or unique moments.
Q: What is your favorite new feature of liveBooks8?
JS: I love the new liveBooks8 platform! It is very user friendly. I particularly like all of the new design features. It has a very clean and modern feel. There are more options for easier search optimization, as well. Now, I am anxiously awaiting the capability to sell my images from my website.
Q: What's one piece of advice you'd offer to someone designing their website?
JS: Take your time and have patience. It took me a couple of weeks to design my website. If you have questions, call the liveBooks customer service, as they are very helpful. Show your best work…quality over quantity. A editor once told me: "you are only as good as your worst photograph on your website," and while this may sound harsh, it always stuck with me. Try to leave people wanting to see more of your work, rather than getting bored and moving on from your site.

"I wanted to do a piece about alienation- and about UFOs- and immigration, placing the work in Tijuana. There's this large monitor and surveillance system pointed up at the cosmos in Hollywood B-movie fashion, searching for 'real' aliens and subverting the meaning of the word. Everybody in Tijuana, from cab drivers to artists to politicians, got the joke."

So I was told that the English articles "a" and "an" have Germanic origins. In German, there is not a distinction between "one" and "a/an". Is there any explanation for the existence of these two different words in English? Is there a situation in which "one" and "a/an" cannot be interchanged? I suspect that "a/an" is just easier to say....but maybe I am just biased to think so, as I am a native English speaker.

A/an isn't used when counting. What's more, in narrations, we say one day, one afternoon, one cannot be replaced by a/an in these expressions.
It's true that in other languages the indefinite article isn't different from the word denoting the number 1. In The Free Dictionary it is stated that the differentiation came about through the pronunciation of the word one without stress (I suppose when not counting).

A Social Network for Navy Veterans of the United States of America
USS Coral Sea (CV/CVB/CVA-43), a Midway-class aircraft carrier, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the Battle of the Coral Sea. She earned the affectionate nickname "Ageless Warrior" through her long career.

February 1976 - November 1976 G-Division Magazine Sprinklers Worked for AOCS Graves, AO2 Miller
Scrapping the Coral Sea was the costliest venture the US Navy had ever undertaken to scrap a Navy vessel up to that time and if I'm not mistaken, it took seven years to cut her up. There are four or five carriers currently being scrapped in Texas. The Forrestal, Ranger and two or three others. The big "E" is in Newport News and the last I heard a decision was to be made as to where remainder of the work is to be done before she's scrapped.
I served aboard Coral Sea CV-43 from Dec 75 to Sept 76. She was in Long Beach Naval Shipyard for six months, then went back to Naval Air Station Alameda in May 76. I was an EM1 in "E" Div. and worked in the Distribution Gang for EMC Cooper.
Was aboard from 1968/1972 I was in M Div. # 2 Engine room I remember you Lawrence Gorski I think you where MM2. Back then.
Was on the 79-80 cruise with HC-1 Det3, transfered before the World cruise, shame they couldn't keep her as a museum like her sister the Midway.
The Coral Sea was my only duty station, served on ships crew in the Air Department in V-3 division, made 3.25 tours on Yankee Station during my time on board from 1968 to 1972
Served in OE Div. as an ET from Dec. 77 to May 1980.
You got it brother. Live well and be safe, my friend.
That's what I love about this site...it brings people together! Captain Ferris is featured in the book!

Session Four just ended and what a week it was! The weather was all time, the park was in amazing shape, and all around it was yet another week for the books! This weeks lane set-up was rails, rails, rails. The lane is known for its big jump, and like usual it was a big spectacle for those watching and hitting it. The rest of the lane was covered in a close-in plaza, tube with trannies and the funkiest C-rail-to-down. Session Four's Takeover Pro's included Banks Gilberti, Olympian Devin Logan, and Tim McChesney. Banks was putting on a clinic on the quarter pipe with his many impossible to replicate hand-plants, and finding gaps all over the place. Tim McChesney was going massive on the big jump and gapping 450's on like it was nothing. D-Lo was doing her thing. Keeping it stylish and fun, even getting in on the quarter pipe sessions doing perfect plants all afternoon.
Well thats all for Session Four folks! Enjoy the photos and also the session edit as usual is posted below! There are only two sessions left this summer, and still some room if you want to have the best week of your life! Takeover Session Pro's for Session Five are Andy Parry, Jonah Williams and Keegan Killbride. Don't sleep on our content, follow windellcamp on Instagram and windellscamp on Snapchat!

If you enjoy the good food and slightly pampered atmosphere of deer valley, but hate the crowds, the non-stop commercialism and crave peace and quiet on an normally UNCROWDED mountain, (even on weekends, most I've to wait is 5 minutes, if that. Except as mentioned, the first ride up in the morning, but so what?) If you are a colege kid or working family coming from a "Red Roof Inn", you will not believe the opulence and no expense spared buildings and food service on top of the fast lift from the parking lot. It's not cheap, but if this is your one trip to Utah to SKI!!!!! for the year, this is a place you can go up & down, up & down all day.
To break for lunch on a 34 degree afternoon at the mt. top lunch terrace is to think, "Ah! THIS! is what it's all about"* The views are amazing, there is terrain for every level, especially blues and blacks. You can een take your try at the 2000 Olympic Downhill run which will get you up to 50-60 mph in about 5 secnds if you can overcome the feeling that you really ought to make a little turn of braking.
Otherwise there are nice, wide slopes, with many less "dangerous intersections/bottlenecks" than you'll find at places like...deer valley. I really do not have the vocabulary to describe what a different experience it is from skiing in the Canyons or Park City. You still sweat your buns off fighting the mountain, but due to "really being out there on the mountain", of solitude, with no city in sight, and possibly no human in sight on the weekdays, (on certain parts of the mountain), you get an "at peace" feeling you don't get anywhere else,...not even at Solitude.
For those who stay in Salt Lake to go to a different Mt. each day, this is one you ought to start and end your trip with because it rapidly became our favorite. Most of the smart locals come here because it is out of the way, with no hotels, condos or nightlife very near. (But you're only 40 minutes from Salt Lake if you have the energy of a college kid, and can find a nice B&B or a room near the mountain if you do a little search or book early.) its an entirely different feeling than Cottonwood Canyon. Wide open, you drive through open mountain roads, a great way to start and end a great day of skiing.
If you are there with the family, they do have a school, etc. for beginners, but this is really a place more for skiers rather than newbies to the sport. Not that they don't have greens, they certainly do, its just that other places cater to kids and newbies on a deeper level.
I LIKE Gondolas, esp. in bad weather. These are nice clean gondolas, the views are heartstopping and I meet many nice people from all over the world, and even some locals who are usually happy to guide you to an interesting trail or area you have not yet sought out. You get to take off your skis and stretch, but not for long enough to lose your will to get back out there when the ride up is over. And it can get windy on bad days, so at these times you're even more thankful.
The only bad experience I had is that if there is cloudy weather, it invariably winds up sitting on top of the mountain, right where the main gondola drops you off and you ski blind, unable to see ten feet in front of you. Almost like skiing in a dream of sudden gray quiet, It was scary as all get out the first time, but I wound up challenging myself with a tougher trail than I thought I could handle by accident,...and I did just fine. I then saw what I'd done after it cleared up after lunch and was ever so proud that, "I skied that one!".
Someone else mentioned they ran into people who seemed not to care. The worst situation I saw is simply that some days not enough employees showed up to run every single lift, and some were complaining at first, but the place is so big, there were still few lines except on the green lift.Most of the people who work there, and are meant to deal with the public, were exceedingly "Mid-Western Nice", were proud of their Mt. and glad to share stories with me. If you approach someone with a scowl, they probably will not be too warm to you. But if you understand they are dealing with the extremes of mountain weather to try and keep all these machines running, and cut them a break, they will be very helpful.
This is NOT a hooby where you rent time on a court. These people work hard to give us a place to ski for what is only 6-7 month of the year if they're lucky, and they ARE loathe to give up your money once it is in their coiffers. Can you blame them? But if you behave with class, they will probably issue you a pass if you have a rel incident on your side. They have lockers downstairs in a beautiful lodge with marble tiled, private and clean johns. Everything is carpeted with overstuffed chairs to change on. It looks like a high end hotel spa, just with no hotel and no spa. (Although they do have a higher end restaurant if you don't want to eat with the upper middle class rabble at the food service areas.) The thing is, on the weekends, they run out of lockers. But after 2 days of using a locker, we found most folks just leave there stuff out, (use your head as to what you leave obviously!!), we did the same for an entire week and had nothing touched. Basically, if you can afford to ski, you're not in the market for someone elses smelly shoes or sweat soakes hat they use as an extra. If you are a "must have a locker type", try to remember to bring some quarters with you to save time in the morning.Then go out and have one of the best days of your trip!
*one thing thats a must. As I mention above, eating lunch on the upper terrace is a treat in itself. But not only are you facing the glorious sun, but you are facing the highest part of the moutain where "The CRazies/Extreme skiers" get to take a small chair all the way up to the top of this one peak. A peak like Warren Miller uses in his movies. So you get one of three experiences that cannot be beat;
1)You get to watch some truly amazing skiers tame the toughest parts of the ski area.
2) You get to watch overzealous intermediates go way above their level to "give it a shot" and hike over to the high crevices and create a fresh trail as they roll or flip their way down the fresh snow.
3) You get encouraged by watching the crazies/extreme skiers and go give it shot yourself, wind up rolling and flipping down the mountain in your own personal experience. (Or if you're really lucky you get to do all three as did I.)
Go here, you will not be sorry. I loathe hats and decals, especially the feeling of paying to advertise someone else's business. I left here with a ski-boot coffee-mug AND a window decal for my truck. Can I say any more?

Guilleminault tells WebMD that he first noticed a relationship between breathing problems and the baffling sleep disturbances in 1996, while conducting another study. "We did a very large survey on sleep disturbances and we noticed that frequent, recurrent sleepwalking and sleep terrors were much more common in those with abnormal breathing," he says. "But when we published the paper in Pediatrics, we didn't emphasize that finding enough. It was nagging at us, so we wanted to test it."
The new finding might not only bring answers to medical experts, but relief to parents. Sleep terrors can be particularly frightening, since these episodes often include screaming and crying, yet children are unresponsive to efforts to comfort them. Unlike nightmares, terrors are usually not remembered. Both sleep terrors and sleepwalking occur in the deepest stage or "slow-wave" sleep - usually within three hours after falling asleep; nightmares typically happen closer to waking.
"It certainly makes sense," says J. Catesby Ware, PhD, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Eastern Virginia Medical School. "The thing that we do know about sleep terrors in children is that there must be something to produce a partial arousal from sleep. If someone placed a pillow on your face while you were sleeping, you would wake up because a cessation of breathing -- even partial -- produces an arousal."
These "arousals" prevent children from transitioning from slow-wave sleep to a lighter sleep stage. External factors like noise and light also cause arousals, along with physiologic conditions such as being "overtired" from lack of sleep and anxiety. "Normally, when we sleep, there's a very sharp distinction between awake and the different stages of sleep. With some of these disorders, the boundaries between those states are blurred," explains Hunt. "That is why with these conditions there are some behaviors that are typically awake-related occurring during sleep."
Guilleminault isn't suggesting that surgery be done to prevent these sleep disturbances in all children. "When they occur once in great while, or even in occasional bursts and then they disappear, that is perfectly normal and probably not because of breathing difficulties," he says. "The children in our study had persistent sleepwalking and terrors - occurring once or several times a week, every few weeks or so. And parents of children who have frequent episodes like that should probably have their breathing patterns evaluated."

Colo. sheriff's office uses iris scanner to ID suspects
Office has been using the technology since 2007 to book inmates and ensure they've caught the correct person
By PoliceOne Staff
LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — When a man suspected of DUI didn't have an ID on him and was prepared to lie about his identity, officers were able to discover just who he was using an iris scan.
According to ABC 7, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office uses the technology to both book inmates and to verify that the correct person is being released. They are only one of two counties in the state with this technology.
"It's a modern day version of what the fingerprint card does," Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith said. "It maps the eye, much as running ink over a fingerprint maps the finger, it maps the blood vessels. It turns out the human eye when looked a close enough would be like a fingerprint."
Smith said they also use the scanner when the county's 205 sex offenders are required to check in, to make sure they have the correct person.
"This technology in addition to allowing us to get the right people taken into custody, also allows us to clear up people who may have been accused of something and somebody else assumed their identity."
The Sheriff's Office has been using the technology since 2007. Smith said he hopes to one day have deputies carry scanners in the field.

What is a correct... "A gift of John Doe" or "A gift from John Doe" when referring to a large charitable donation? I like the sound of "of" but not sure which one is right.
Is there any defense of capitalizing after a semicolon? This reads well to me:
We do not sell tricycles; We sell velocipedes.
Learn the difference.
Not capitalizing the first word of the second clause diminishes the perceived parallelism:
We do not sell tricycles; we sell velocipedes.
The store around the corner sells bicycles.
With a period between them, the first two clauses read like the premises of a syllogism:
We do not sell tricycles. We sell velocipedes.
Do we sell unicycles?
I will continue, of course, to pen as I please, but, in this instance, wonder if I can confidently publish as I please.
My evening of horror transpired as follows:
While sharing a bottle of wine with my girlfriend I was stupid enough to posit why it was that I had taken such a huge interest in blues music.
"Why, because it's accessible to your mediocre guitar skills," she said, "and when your skills improve you switch to real music, like classical guitar".
"Well then, I hope, once your skills improve in belly dance you'll switch to real dance," I responded, "besides it is a misnomer that blues is 'simple music'!"
Now, my meaning here was that blues music has been historically labeled and designated as "simple music" in order to mislead people into thinking that African-Americans, from whom the music generated, are not capable of anything complex and so somebody will say, "I love blacks because they play 'simple music'!"
My girlfriend claims English superiority because she went to college and has been told she has a greater grasp on the language than it's inventors, so she informed me that I had incorrectly used the word "misnomer". According to her, what I should have said was that 'simple music' was a 'misconception' and not a 'misnomer'. I can see the angle she is coming from and, in all honesty, I barely graduated high school, but I am sure that in this instance I am correct. My point was that blues was "misnamed" or "mislabeled" in order to mislead and not if it is actually simple music (I obviously believe that it is not and I am improving at guitar, so hopefully one day I will be able to tell).
In any case, I am currently sleeping on the couch. Is she correct or is it my "belly dance isn't real dance" that has me on the couch?
Please help me.
Mr. On the Couch Blues
I beg you not to yell at me about any grammar mistake I may have just made. I finished the bottle of wine by myself and I really just want to be right about this one thing.
Is this correct?
"I so appreciate you taking mine and Gregg's child to school today."
Is it correct to use "mine" or should I say "my"?
Can clauses be misplaced because I always thought that they were superordinate of that. While searching for math accuplacer questions, I was given a set of problems, which I did not want, and, in boredom, did the first one and was wrong. The question was this:
Select the best substitute for the parenthesized parts of the following ten sentences. The first answer [choice A] is identical to the original sentence. If you think the original sentence is best, then choose A as your answer.
Question 1:
Although she was only sixteen years old, (the university accepted her application because of her outstanding grades).
A. the university accepted her application because of her outstanding grades.
B. her application was accepted by the university because of her outstanding grades.
C. her outstanding grades resulted in her application being accepted by the university.
D. she was accepted to study at the university after applying because of her outstanding grades.
I chose A, but it said D was the correct answer on these grounds:
The clause Although she was only sixteen years old describes the characteristics of the female student. Remember that clauses always need to be followed by the name of the person or thing they are describing. Therefore, "she" needs to come after this clause.
So, to reiterate, is there such a thing as misplaced clauses?
What would be the preferred form of each of these:-
a) "in hopes of" or "in the hope of"
b) "a change in plans" or "a change of plan"
c) "apprise" or "inform"
d) "envision" or "envisage"
I favour the second of each of the above, but no doubt there will be different opinions.
"I intend on doing something about that"
Just came across this in the latest Baldacci novel.
First time I've seen this particular form so I'm not sure if it was a slip by author, editor, proof-reader, typesetter, or all of the above; or is it common in some parts of the English speaking world?
I'd think that "I intend to do ..........." or "I am intent on doing ........." would be the normal form.
I'd like to go back to an old question which was discussed here in 2011. What is the correct preposition to use with "different?"
Every time I hear the BBC's "different to" it grates on me. I distinctly remember my 6th Grade teacher, Mrs. Murphy, explaining to us that "different" takes "from" because in arithmetic, when you subtract one number from another you obtain a difference. Her analogy was faulty, of course; but her grammar was correct. The abuse she was trying to correct was "different than." I never heard "different to" until relatively recently, on the BBC World Service.
The consensus of the 2011 discussion seemed to be that "different to" is British usage and "different from" is American.
Well – yes and no. I've gone through some quotation websites looking for 19th and early 20th century British examples and could find not one "different to." They all use "different from."
I did also find this, however, from the 1908 edition of Fowler's "The King's English."
". . .'different to' is regarded by many newspaper editors and others in authority as a solecism, and is therefore better avoided by those to whom the approval of such authorities is important. It is undoubtedly gaining ground, and will probably displace 'different from' in no long time; perhaps, however, the conservatism that still prefers from is not yet to be named pedantry.
Well, that was prescient – if you concede that 100 years counts as "no long time" when it comes to the English language.
(In response to some of those 2011 posts which mentioned "more different than" as an acceptable use of "different than": in that case "than" refers to "more" not "different.")
Since when did "concerning" become an adjective meaning "causing concern?" I first noticed it in the New York Times sometime earlier this year. Now it's being used both in the media and in everyday conversation as if it had been around forever. Yet the usage is not mentioned in either my 1971 abridged edition of the OED or my trusty 1980 New World Dictionary. Should we just accept this new word as an example of the English language moving on? Or is it concerning?
Why, in English, do we say 'hey' as a conversation starter? Why not hello? According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, hey is "used especially to call attention or to express interrogation, surprise, or exultation". It does not mention any connection to the word hello. Why then, do we so often hear hey substituted for hello? Whether talking on the phone, texting, or just trying to make small talk in person, everyone always seems to begin with hey, even when you are already talking to the person and you don't need their attention. My best guess is that is probably another development in our ever-changing language that came about over time, but does anyone know how this connotation came to be?

your call will be answered in the order it was received

What bothered the original poster is whether calls are received an order (with no acknowledgement order is something calls rest IN).
Sounds stupid, right? You are being reassured - the calls in queue will be answered in an order - however, is their present order not indeed "the order IN which they were received"? We think of them being IN an order. Think about whether you would puzzle with other tourists over a sign reading, "We ask that you return to the hotel in the bus you arrived. (end of sentence)"? We are accustomed to thinking about order in terms of a set, "into" which things come and "out of" which they go, and our ears expect the relationship to be stated as of one thing "IN WHICH" another thing resides. The examples here seem missing something.
No opinion though, personally, as to whether one is entitled to hear about calls being received "IN order".

Resume, resumé, or résumé?
- July 26, 2016, 6:45pm
I live in Canada and we would be appalled to see "resume" (pronounced here as "re-zoom") as the spelling for something we pronounce as "reh-zoom-ay". Either "resumé" or more correctly "résumé" works for us, and we don't consider the accent(s) poncey or pretentious. Then again, the majority of us also speak French, so accents are pretty normal up here. Perhaps just use "CV" and spare us trying to figure out if you're wanting to begin again or seeking a job. But please don't call us pretentious for using correct spelling. :) While we're at it , what's up with "story" to indicate the number of floors in a building? I guess there really are many stories in the Naked City. But clearly no storeys. I'm American-born but it still drives me nuts to see letters dropped for no discernible reason.
"Me neither." or "Me either"
- July 26, 2016, 3:44pm
Found this on this website: http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/meeither.html
...Inside a longer sentence, "me either" can be perfectly legitimate: "whole-wheat pie crust doesn't appeal to me either." But by itself, meaning "neither do I," in reply to previous negative statement, it has to be "me neither": "I don't like whole-wheat pie crust." "Me neither."

Someone else's

"Else" can be an adjective or adverb, we can agree. But would it be improper to recognize certain usages as being an indefinite noun, or as a compound noun as in "somewhere" (both an adverb and a noun) as it relates to "somewhere else"? Both are indefinite places, only "somewhere else" is an indefinite place other than the indefinite place referred to as "somewhere". Is one of those more definite than the other? A mathematician using logic and set theory might give a different answer than a grammarian. But either way it seems like a trivial question of no substantive import.
Maybe we can accept variations of syntax and spelling as having a preferred status (according to the source) without the requirement that one form be labeled incorrect from a literary or scholarly perspective. Sure makes life a little easier and less contentious, unless one is obsessively compelled to accept only black-and-white, all-or-nothing single versions, which gets really complicated since most words have more than one definition. The bottom line is whether the message is easily understood by all or most readers, (and whether there are any penalties or adverse consequences which an administrative authority may impose). And if it has the additional factors of consistency and commonly accepted versions, so much the better. Eventually, most languages undergo changes in some way or else another. (I refuse to even try to analyze that usage.)
"I'm just saying"
- jayles the unmeted
- July 24, 2016, 1:34pm
In 1826 it occurs in print here:
Hearings Before Subcommittee No. 3 of TheCommittee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, Eighty-first Congress,
as "I'm just saying that this is ridiculous and unfair".
As a stand-alone sentence, possibly about 1936.
"identical to" and "identical with"
- Neige
- July 24, 2016, 4:36am
identical adjective
BrE /aɪˈdentɪkl/ ; NAmE /aɪˈdentɪkl/
*similar in every detail
*a row of identical houses
*The two pictures are similar, although not identical.
*identical to somebody/something: Her dress is almost identical to mine.
*identical with somebody/something: The number on the card should be identical with the one on the chequebook.
Cheerio! :)
"ask the gays"

Technically the grammar is ok; it is just that by using "the" one almost tends to suggest that all gays are one homogenous group who think alike. There is a discussion about this here:
"enamored with" and "enamored by"
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- July 23, 2016, 9:36am
I'm not at all surprised that no one cited from Oscar Horace's second (1913) publication, "Word and Phrase Sources and Usage: Adjectival and Advebial Etymologies and Preposition Connectors," which he dedicated to his father, Horatio, and his daughter, Amelia.
Horace explains the French usages, as for instance ), "Je suis amoureaux d'Amelia.," of which the English translation is, "I am enamored of Amelia."
He was greatly surprised that, born of the English casual pronunciation of that phrase, an artisan created a tiny glazed bird he called the "Enamor Dove," to be used when words fail the suitor who wants her to be apprised of the depth of his love for her. (In marketing the artisan, at fairs, emphasized that the Enamor Dove exemplifies a a level of courtship that is far beyond the turtle dove stage).
Anyway, the Enamored Dove was oft-bought throughout the British Isles.
And, explains Horace, the product increased the popular usage of "I am enamored of."
Ultimately, Horace's 13 volumes of his word-usage explanations were replaced by more recent books authored by others beginning in the 1880s. Nothing replaced the Enamored Dove, and it was soon forgotten. Foolishly, Horace was against copyrighting and his volumes were not reprised. Libraries, always in need of shelf space, discarded the Horace 13 volumes or stacked them in their basement. Apparently, none of them now exists, either.
Luckily, a friend from Cambridge U, Divad Saratla, visited Washington, DC and was introduced at a party to a huge defensive lineman and they became fast friends. When David learned about his new friend's verbal deficiencies caused by dyslexia, he showed one of the Horace volumes to him, of which the football player became enamored. David gave to him all 13 of the Horace volumes.
I have no idea if any volumes are extant. After years of contacting the usual suspects (forgive me, Sam), and as I now unable to continue, I suppose that Horace's works, to the extent some still may exist, are lodging in a few private homes.

Flame-retardant olefin block copolymer composites with novel halogen-free intumescent flame retardants based on the composition of melamine phosphate and pentaerythritol
A series of halogen-free intumescent flame retardants (IFR) based on home-made melamine phosphate and pentaerythritol system (MPPER) including polyamid 12, basic nickel carbonate (NiCO3·2Ni(OH)2·4H2O), lanthanum oxide (La2O3), and expandable graphite compounding with MPPER, were adopted for flame retarding olefin block copolymers (OBC). Flame-retardant effects and thermal stabilities of OBC-IFR composites were investigated by limiting oxygen index, vertical burning test (UL-94), and thermogravimetry analysis along with the analysis of morphological structures of the char residue by scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties and the flame-retardant mechanism of the final composited materials have been also discussed. The loading of suitable amount of IFR can improve effectively the flame retardancy of the OBC with tolerable decrease in mechanical properties. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014, 131, 40066.
