Monastery Lodging
The Monastery of the 15 Martyrs or Tiberiopolis is one of the nicest places we have stayed in Macedonia. We stayed here for three days while exploring Strumica and surroundings.
You can rent a room for 600 MKD per person per day (about 10 euros), and this includes breakfast and dinner. The dinner is the same for everybody, you just have to eat what they prepare. It is a simple but tasty meal, and was a very welcome change from the usual restaurant food we already had for days while we were on the road.
The rooms are relatively new, but could have been cleaner. Just remember this is not a hotel!
When we were there, most rooms were booked for construction workers from all over Macedonia, who were working near Strumica. They left early in the morning with a big bus and we only saw them in the evening. We were the only two tourists staying here.
We could park our car within the monastery premises, safely behind a big gate. According to somebody working in the monastery we should not leave the car outside the gates because of the possibility of theft.
The monastery is not in quiet area, it is in the middle of a Roma part of town and you could hear Roma music all day long, which added to the experience in my opinion. So don't expect that the "spiritual stay" from the title means "quiet stay"!
The woman who cooked was almost like a mother for us, taking really good care of us and giving us extra portions during dinner (to the dismay of the construction workers who probably earned it much more after their hard work under the burning Macedonian sun!)
Unique Qualities: Stay and eat with the Macedonian people. Beautifully kept grounds.

Utah State University held a ceremony Friday to officially induct the 2011 class into its Athletics Hall of Fame.
The inductees include: Jerry Cerulla, one of just three NCAA individual track champions in school history; LaVell Edwards, an outstanding linebacker; Dean Hunger, one of the best basketball players in USU history; Henry King, one of the greatest defensive backs to ever wear the Utah State uniform; Rick Parros, the third-leading rusher in school history; and the 1980 and 1981 Aggie softball teams that won back-to-back national championships.
A total of 61 individuals and three teams have now been inducted into the Utah State Athletics Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was founded in 1993 with 12 initial members, followed by eight additions in 1994 and seven in 1995. The addition of any members was stopped until 2006 when five more individuals were added, followed by six recipients in 2007, four more in 2008 to go along with the first-ever team inducted, seven in 2009 and six more in 2010.
Located inside the Steve Mothersell Hall of Honor, the Utah State Athletics Hall of Fame gives fans the opportunity to view biographical information and watch videos about each of the inducted members. Both the Hall of Fame and the Hall of Honor are located inside the Jim and Carol Laub Athletics-Academics Complex in the north end of Romney Stadium.
2011 Utah State University Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame Class
JERRY CERULLA, Hometown: Wyandotte, Mich.
Sport: Track & Field
Years: 1965-1967
Cerulla was the last track athlete in Utah State history to claim an individual national championship as he won the 60-meter hurdles at the 1966 NCAA Indoor Championships with a time of 7.2. Cerulla also earned All-American honors in the short hurdles (indoor) in 1965 as he was ranked the No. 1 hurdler in the world. Cerulla was also a two-time All-American in the 110-meter hurdles (outdoor) in 1966 and 1967.
Along with being a four-time All-American and individual national champion at Utah State, Cerulla also competed in the 1964 and 1968 Olympic trials. Following his Aggie career, Cerulla transferred to Eastern Michigan and won the NAIA Outdoor Championship in the high hurdles in 1968.
Hometown: Orem, Utah
Sport: Football
Years: 1949-51
A terrific lineman and backfield player, Edwards earned all-Mountain States Conference honors in 1950 as a linebacker. Edwards, a three-year letter winner at Utah State, was named to USU's All-Century team in 1993 and was inducted into the Utah Sports Hall of Fame the same year. Following his collegiate career, Edwards served as Brigham Young's head football coach from 1972-2000.
Hometown: Kaysville, Utah
Sport: Men's Basketball
Years: 1977-80
One of the best all-around talents in school history, Hunger was named the Big West Conference Player of the Year as a senior in 1980 as he averaged 20.8 points and 8.6 rebounds while shooting 60.6 percent from the field, which still ranks eighth all-time at USU for a single season. His 561 points scored during his senior campaign ranks 22nd all time in school history, as does his 20.8 points per game scoring average that year.

Re: [rosa-devel] Giving up on om-cooker
Per Øyvind Karlsen <proyvind <at> moondrake.org>
2015-08-11 15:26 GMT+02:00 symbianflo <symbianflo <at> mandrivausers.ro>:
Just to respect OMA's choices we don't use to write here about cooker or OMA,
I'm not saying that you can not do it , but is just useless... nobody will answer..
you'll just loose your time... sad but true.
Well,I guess that's a bit part of the problem, it being the pink elephant in the room ...
The concern I have and why I bring the matter up as part of explaining the motivation for why wanting to be involved with this project in stead..
After spending half my life dedicated to the project, I don't want to see it die or being mismanaged in such a way, which I believe ultimately will hurt rosa linux severely and I like to still continue believing the mutual benefit and importance between the two projects (which back in 2013 were just about to be merged back together even)...
None the less, I think rambling much further on about this trying to explain myself might just get a bit overly redundant and repetetively boring to keep read about.. ;)
This being said you are welcome to help , :-D
I really don't think that somebody has to tell you what has to be done...
As for suggestions, requests, ideas, a.s.o , personally ,
I have a pretty good contributor experience with rosa decisional...
so I don't think that you'll be threated differently , actually
they are pretty fast in answering .
I guess it's all about respect...
Yupp, having working with many ROSA devels as professional colleagues, I wouldn't expect anything else from my personal experience with. :)
Yet, what I want to figure out and determine is the interest of this project in discussing ways to work together, ideas, opinions and thoughts about whether having common goals and how to achieve those. :)
This especially due to, as you already know, I'm usually working on the core parts of distro and much of the architectural design of, making it rather.. uhm.. "rude" to try continue this within ROSA, bringing with me efforts from my work that might not be of interest to the project, maybe even the exact opposite, and I don't want to step on anymore toes than I've already done other places.. ;)
So before starting getting involved, I need to start that the extent of my work and ambitions are both welcomed and accepted. :)
So uhm, related to this, how is the project organized currently these days? Are there any developer meetings where important matters gets discussed, right occations to raise topics, ideas etcetc.?
Say, if I wanted to make any proposals etc., is rosa-devel the most appropriate place to start?
I have to excuse myself for the lack of insight on these matters related to the project, but one has to start somewhere at least to learn of. :)

Don, very glad to learn you mow your leaves into the lawn. Is this scene from your garden. I hope you have a riding mower!
The sky, mountains, trees and lawn offer beautiful colors and contrasts.
Its funny what a year can do to your thinking. January 1, 2013 I moved into my little house. Leaves covered the front and back lawn and I procrastinated raking them. Finally went to the grocery and got the required brown paper bags and spent a bit of time raking and bagging leaves. Then called the City for a special pickup of all the leaves. By October 2013 after reading severl books on organic gardening, I saw the leaves in a whole new light and simply mulched them onto my lawn, but still bagged grass and weeds I dug out of various places. And finally I arrive at October 2014 and I consider anything I pull from the ground as fertilizer and as Daniel and Joan call it - gold! I'm slowly learning. :) I've been reading your comments about the pine needles and find it interesting how the idea they add acidity has been around for a long time. I'm embarassed to admit that I still get confused about which plants need what type of soil. Guess that's why I have such a passion for Salvia - it's totally forgiving no matter what I do or don't do.
Randall, We have cooler weathe and lower humidity, only got to 85 yesterday and it is lovely to work outside. A friend gave me a bag of Iris and I was able to get them into the ground yesterday and was quite warm by the time I finished tilling the bed and planting. I would definitely love some "frosty" weather and look forward to it in another month.
I've decided to go with stones around all my beds instead of metal or plastic edging and found a man about 40 minutes north who had a field full of limestone, the kind with all the neat color variations and holes in them - and I can have as many as I want for $15. So I'm using my little Yaris and running up and down the highway with stones for my garden. :) I'm thinking about renting a pickup from Home Depot as I can only carry a limited amount in my car and I've figured I'll need to make about 11 trips with the car - or one, maybe two, with pickup. Gardening has become an obsession!
Have a great weekend everyone!
We're expecting a light frost tonight--our first. I'll cover up the few tomato plants that survived the rains. And, I'll finish digging up my sweet potatoes. They say frost harms them someway. It's never been proven to me, but I'll take no chances.
I let my green beans "go to seed" a couple months ago, and have picked, dried, and popped out the seeds. Half done, anyway. It's a tedious job, like getting the meat out of hickory nuts. But I enjoy doing it for some reason. I think I'm a little crazy.
I like gathering every leaf and needle, too. It is like finding gold. I am not quite finished spreading this past year's compost yet. The squirrels enjoy it because it is so light and easy to bury horse chestnuts in. Also, easy to pull them out. So, we both win.
I picked all the ripe tomatoes and have several dozen green ones. Guess I'll bring them in. We had a light frost on the garage roof this morning.
I look at raking leaves, pine needles, and other tree products, as collecting free mulch or free compost resources. I love that, it's like finding gold.
Oh Joan, that's so beautiful.
Well, shoot. Here I thought adding pine needles was a smart thing to do. Live and learn. I'll probably still rake and spread them in the garden--or simply add them to the compost pile. Can't hurt.
I prefer my compost and if I don't have any, then pine needles for mulching because the rain goes strait through them without them becoming moldy. I thought I was adding to the acidity of the soil. Glad to know the truth.
Daniel, your lovely sun room makes a delightful rain room. I like the trees outside, too. Like living in a forest.
Barbara, isn't it nice to have peace in the house and have your little Rio and cat content.
Čenek, you will have a wonderful year ahead of you with all that sauerkraut. The aromas waft through the house. I very much like the smell, some guests do not. Freshly homemade kraut provides a perfect taste and good healthy food. I didn't use heat. I put my reservoir of kraut in a cool basement sitting on the concrete floor. That worked for me. I wonder if the warmth is good for the flavor? I don't know. Never thought about that.
Bertold, your photo reveals a lovely scene, tranquil with colors of autumn, the leaves, dogs and the healthy shrubs.

Adam's Blond Hair Got As Much Attention As The Performances on 'The Voice' – Top 8 Recap
Adam Levine's new look got as much attention on 'The Voice' as the performances from the Top 8. Blake Shelton wasn't at a loss for words, 'Wait that's Adam? I thought Meg Ryan was sitting in with us tonight.' The highlights, other than from Adam's blond head, came from Josh Kaufman, Christina Grimmie, who put a new twist on a Lil Wayne song and a teary eyed Sisaundra, who's mother watched her performance for the first time.

PullingThePlug.com; More and More Venture Capitalists Give Up on the Internet
By SAUL HANSELL and MATT RICHTEL
Published: November 6, 2000
To look at Internet companies today, said Ron Erickson, a veteran technology executive and investor, is like watching dinosaurs after the proverbial meteor hit the earth: ''Instead of natural evolution you had cataclysmic change.''
In an increasingly inhospitable environment, many dot-com companies that seemed destined to rule the world only a few months ago are abruptly dying off.
Take Freeinternet.com, one of a raft of companies that offered free Internet access meant to be subsidized with advertising. By March, four months after the service was introduced, its venture capitalist backers had put up $87 million, valued it at an astounding $835 million and filed to go public.
But a month later the stock market suddenly turned hostile to Internet companies. And last month Freeinternet.com traded the underwriter for the undertaker, withdrawing its public offering and three days later filing instead for bankruptcy protection.
''As in so many things with the Internet, the nature of our business model was go big or go home,'' said Mr. Erickson, who served on Freeinternet's board.
Indeed, for hundreds, maybe thousands of Internet companies founded with big ambitions, it is becoming time to go home. The trickle of failures that has steadily accompanied the growth of the Internet is now turning into a flood. In October alone, no fewer than 17 Internet businesses closed, including sites with names like Eve, Kibu, Productopia, Scour, Chipshot, WebHouse Club and iBelieve. And experts foresee an acceleration in the months ahead, as hundreds of Internet companies simply run out of money.
Moreover, the decision to shut down, often with no warning to customers or employees, is in many cases being made by the very venture capitalists who brought the companies to life only a year or two before.
Spinning Web sites into gold, it seems, has become nearly impossible. Investors had backed the most audacious proposals to become the Amazon.com of this or the Yahoo of that assuming they would soon recoup many times their money in an initial public offering. Now private investors are growing far more selective in opening their checkbooks, even to prolong the lives of companies already in their portfolios.
''We treat them like kids,'' said Bill Gross, chairman of Idealab, of the companies his firm invests in, which had included Eve. But the inability to raise money in public offerings, he said, made it simply too expensive to keep them alive. ''No one could come up with an economic model to make it work.''
But to Marleen McDaniel, chief executive of Woman.com and a former board member of Eve, the venture capitalists are not giving success a chance. ''Once the market soured, you never saw investors run so fast in your life,'' she said. ''We are looking at almost the total demise of the companies that have been built up the last two or three years.''
Even when they don't close companies now, investors no longer want them to grow rapidly and focus on attracting millions of visitors to their sites. Rather they insist on a ''path to profitability'' and the press them to slash their marketing budgets, lay off workers and switch if they can from serving consumers to businesses.
Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a placement firm that tracks layoffs, counted 5,677 people who were let go by Internet companies in October, up from 4,805 in September. Since last December, it says, a total of 22,267 dot-com jobs have been lost.
And as their marketing budgets and payrolls are pared, the entrepreneurs at the surviving companies worry that they are on a path not to profits but to doom.
''Bad companies have created a reputation in the market that forces great companies like us to wait,'' said Jonathan Kaplan, the founder of Family Wonder, a site that sells children's music and videos. ''We turned our marketing off, and our volume fell by 50 percent.'' With enough money to last only through Christmas, the company is now in talks to be acquired by Sega.
Indeed, these cutbacks have a dampening effect on the Internet economy. A marketing slowdown by one company represents a decline in ad revenue at another. And disappointing earnings by a public company depress stock prices for the entire sector.
So what a few months ago looked like measured steps to cut costs and improve profitability at many companies are now desperate attempts to keep the lights on until they can be rescued through acquisition or cash infusions.
''The environment is forcing you to make hard choices,'' said Seth Goldstein, a venture capitalist with Flatiron Partners in New York. ''Now everybody is looking for the graceful ending.''
In many cases, however, there is no graceful way out. All that many of these companies had to show for themselves was a rapid growth in visitors to their Web sites, spurred, however inefficiently, by vast advertising and below-cost discounting.
There certainly have been companies rescued from the brink. Drkoop.com, for example, was bought by an investor group that hopes to effect a turnaround. But most acquisitions have involved relatively healthy Internet companies like ZDNet and About .com, which had established brands, audiences and revenue streams. Once companies become desperate, they are often seen as damaged goods and fail to attract buyers even at fire-sale prices.
As the troubles mount, there is growing resentment among entrepreneurs that the venture capitalists who encouraged their go-big-or-go-home strategies are leaving them in the lurch.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Jefferson County has appealed a
court-ordered $50.3 million taxpayer refund of occupational taxes
and business license fees to the Alabama Supreme Court.
The county's appeal contends the trial judge, Circuit Judge
David Rains, should not have rejected the county's argument that
the county owed no refund because a new occupational tax that took
effect Aug. 14 made the county's taxing power retroactive.
The appeal also challenges Rains' order on Dec. 23 expanding the
refund pool by $10 million to $47.8 million, and awarding taxpayers
about $2.5 million in interest.
The appeal was filed on Tuesday by lawyers with the Birmingham
firm Bradley Arant Boult Cummings.
The county contends the most it should pay taxpayers is $37.8

Bike Camping at Washoe Lake State Park: Carson City, NV
Posted by Jeff Moser | Tags: Family , Inexpensive , Routes & Rides , U.S. - Nevada
A multi-day bicycle tour has been on my to-do list for years now. Not having the gear or time yet though, we did the next best thing. An overnight bicycle camping trip at one of the local state parks! It turned out to be a lot of fun, and the best family camping trip ever. Here is the story of our trip.
Overnight Adventure from Tucson, AZ
Posted by Seth Phillips | Tags: Family , Inexpensive , Routes & Rides , U.S. - Arizona
After daydreaming about it for a while, I loaded up the bike & trailer and took off with my 2 year-old for an overnight camping trip. The spot we picked was Colossal Cave Mountain Park, about 20 miles from our house on the east side of Tucson.
A Daddy/Daughter Trip: Southern Ontario
Posted by Reuben Vanderkwaak | Tags: Canada - Ontario , Family , Inexpensive , Rail-Trails , Routes & Rides
We took delivery of our new Surly Big Dummy cargo bike in July, and I was itching to do some loaded touring with it. I decided to take Eden out on a daddy/daughter overnight trip, allowing my wife Heidi to relax while we were away! Well, as long as the baby didn't come while we were gone (the due date was in less than two months).
Kidical Mass - Bike Overnight
Posted by Alison Riley | Tags: Family , Upcoming Events
Safe Routes to School Program Manager, Shane MacRhodes explains: "The ride will be on June 25th and will leave from a park in central Eugene in the late morning. We'll ride the 8 miles through town via quiet neighborhood streets, paths, and bike lanes to Armitage State Park, located just outside the city limits and next to the McKenzie River. We've rented a group camp there (that holds 40) and will plan some fun family activities. We'll be providing support and tips before the ride and may even hold a little 'bike camping 101' class/information/gear sharing before the ride. Registration will be required (free) so we can figure out how many people to expect and may even reserve the second group camp if we need it. If this ride goes well we'll do more. There is another spot we've scoped out that is 16 miles from town and several others that about 20-25 so as people gain experience we might venture further out. We're excited to discover the areas that are bikable to facilitate more family bike camping opportunities."
Embracing a child's pace: multi-day bike trip on the Erie Canal
Posted by Jeff Olson | Tags: Deluxe , Family , Routes & Rides , U.S. - New York
A couple of years ago, I took my 7 year old daughter for a multi-day bike trip along the Erie Canal in upstate New York. I've done some long-distance riding, but this trip turned into a surprising 'short distance' tour. It's a great example of how riding at a child's pace and having a flexible itinerary can be more fun than a carefully planned itinerary. We planned on riding from Rochester to Lockport over several days, and camping at the locks on the canal. Since this was our first multi-day trip together, I had promised that we'd ride as far as she wanted to go each day, and I'd booked a hotel with a swimming pool as a treat when we reached our destination. We never got to that hotel, but we had a great time travelling less than 20 miles in three days.
Family trip on the Farmington River Valley Trail -- Connecticut
Posted by Todd Copley | Tags: Deluxe , Family , Routes & Rides , U.S. - Connecticut
One of my favorite trips this past year was our family's first outing on the Farmington River Valley Trail in Farmington, Connecticut. This trail is perfect for families with small children. You can ride as little or as long as you like, with wonderful amenities spaced out on the trail every few miles. There are also a multitude of diversions and attractions within a few miles of the trail.
Love touring but time challenged?
Posted by Winona Bateman | Tags: Family , How-to , Inexpensive
In the 2007 Adventure Cyclist article, S24Os: Bicycle camping for the time challenged (pdf), Grant Petersen (founder of Rivendell Bicycle Works) shares his thoughts on why short overnight tours are easy and fun. Grant originally coined the term "S24O" or Sub-24 Hour Overnight.

Trust and affective commitment as energizing forces for export performance
This study explores the effects of trust, commitment, relation-oriented competencies and entrepreneurial competencies on export performance. Using survey data from 134 exporting organizations located in the south of the Netherlands, a conceptual model is tested in which trust and affective commitment act as energizing forces for the development of competencies that have a positive effect on export performance. The main difference between this approach and other models is that affective commitment is hypothesized to have an indirect effect on performance, rather than a direct effect. This prediction is borne out by the data, which indicates that the role of trust and affective commitment in relational models of export performance may need to be reconsidered.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Tampa police say an argument between two
roommates ended with one man being strangled and the other being
taken to jail.
Police say 30-year-old Billy Locke Jr. was arrested Tuesday and
charged with second-degree murder. He's being held at the Orient
Road Jail without bail.
He's accused of strangling his roommate, 43-year-old Rick Lamar,
during an argument at their home.
Officers were first called to the home because Ming wanted his roommate out. By the second call, Ming was dead.
Police say the two were arguing over cigarettes when Locke put Ming in a choke hold.
Police records show this isn't the first time Locke has been
accused of hurting Ming. And both men have prior arrest records,
for drug possession and aggravated battery.

Treasury 10-Year Yield Reaches Four-Month High on Economy, ECB
Treasury 10-year note yields reached the highest since July as reports showed the U.S. economy strengthening and concern eased that the European debt crisis is spreading reduced the appeal of U.S. securities as a haven.
The yield on benchmark note rose for the first time in four days after an industry report showed the U.S. added more jobs than forecast in November, signaling a labor market recovery is under way. The Federal Reserve said the economy gained strength in 10 of its 12 regions as hiring improved, manufacturing expanded and retailers anticipated a stronger holiday shopping season. U.S. stocks rallied, sending benchmark indexes toward their biggest gains in three months.
"Stocks are up big, peripheral bond markets are doing better and people are feeling more optimistic that the euro is not coming unraveled, which is weighing on the bond market," said Jay Mueller, who manages about $3 billion of bonds at Wells Fargo Capital Management in Milwaukee. "The news and data show there are moderate reasons for optimism as we have gone from slow growth to somewhat faster growth."
The benchmark 10-year yield rose 17 basis points to 2.97 percent at 5:02 p.m. in New York, according to BC Cantor Market Data, touching the highest since July 30. The yield fell to 2.75 percent yesterday, the lowest level since Nov. 23. The 2.625 percent security due in November 2020 fell 1 13/32, or $14.06 per $1,000 face amount, to 97 3/32.
Longer Bonds
The 30-year bond yield climbed 13 basis points to 4.24 percent. It fell to 4.05 percent yesterday, the lowest level since Nov. 5. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rallied the most since Sept. 1 on a closing basis, adding 2.2 percent.
The Fed's Beige Book report reflected information collected on or before Nov. 19 and summarized by the Cleveland Fed. The survey will be considered by Federal Open Market Committee policy makers before their next meeting on Dec. 14, when they will review their asset purchase program.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. increased its forecast for U.S. gross domestic product growth next year to 2.7 percent from 2 percent. The U.S. economy will expand 3.6 percent in 2012, according to a report sent to Goldman Sachs clients today.
The Fed bought $8.2 billion of Treasuries with maturities from June 2016 and November 2017 as part of an asset-purchase program aimed at lowering borrowing costs and stimulating economic growth. The central bank is buying Treasuries every day this week.
Euro View
ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet yesterday said the central bank's bond-buying program is "ongoing" and "we will see what we decide," refusing to rule out an expansion of purchases. His remarks helped lift the euro for the first time in four days.
The ECB's Governing Council will meet tomorrow amid speculation it will again delay its exit from emergency liquidity measures. All 52 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News expect the central bank to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 1 percent.
Companies in the U.S. added 93,000 workers to payrolls in November, according to figures from ADP Employer Services.
The ADP number was forecast to show a gain of 70,000 jobs, according to the median estimate of 40 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Projections ranged from gains of 40,000 to 125,000.
Labor Analysis
"The lack of labor market participation had kept the market from buying into the sustainability of the recovery, but we are now seeing signs that the labor market is turning to the upside,"said Michael Pond, co-head of interest-rate strategy in New York at Barclays Plc, one of 18 primary dealers that trade with the Fed. "The nonfarm payrolls report will give us more direction on where employment is going."
Employment in the U.S. rose in November for the second month in a row, with payrolls rising 145,000 a Labor Department report will show December 3, according to a Bloomberg News survey of 84 economists.
Ten-year rates will rise to 3.23 percent by the end of 2011, according to a Bloomberg survey of banks and securities companies with the most recent forecasts given the heaviest weightings. Investors who bought today would lose about 0.2 percent after accounting for interest payments, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Factory Patterns
The Institute for Supply Management's factory index fell to 56.6 in November from 56.9 a month earlier, the Tempe, Arizona- based group said today. Readings greater than 50 signal growth and the index has been above 50 for 16 consecutive months,
U.S. government securities handed investors a 0.7 percent loss last month, the most since March based on Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes, as the Fed embarked on a plan to pump $600 billion into the banking system.
Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen said the U.S. must address its budget deficit to protect the nation's economy from risks including a slowdown in growth.
"Charting a sensible course for the federal budget is an essential but formidable task for U.S. policy makers," Yellen, 64, said in a speech in New York today. "If current policy settings are maintained, the budget will be on an unsustainable path."
