The OGDI (Open Government Data Initiative) DataLab platform leverages by defaut the Microsoft Azure Platform, an open cloud-based runtime and hosting environment helping developers to quickly and easily create, deploy, manage and run applications and Web services across the Internet. The Azure platform allows developers to focus on their core business: applications and Web services. Developers uses their own existing skills (NET, Ruby, Python, Java, PHP, etc.) and their current tools and IDEs (Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc.) to develop these applications and Web services and deploy them to the cloud. For more information, please go to the homepage of the Microsoft Azure Platform.
OGDI DataLab exposes data through REST web services. The basic format of an OGDI DataLab service call is
http://project.cloudapp.net[:8080]/v1/catalog/dataset?query, where:
Also note that if a property has a null value for a particular entity in the data set, it will be omitted entirely from the result set returned by OGDI DataLab. Your (modern) application design should take this into account and handle potentially missing properties.
By default, OGDI DataLab returns data in the Open Data Protocol (OData) format. This format extends the broadly adopted Atom Publishing Protocol and can be easily consumed by a variety of platforms, including Microsoft .NET, Java, Ruby, PHP, and Python. Refer to the code samples on the Data Browser page for examples.
OGDI DataLab can also return data in the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format, which can be conveniently consumed using JavaScript and other technologies. To return data in JSON format, simply append the format=json parameter to your query:
The OGDI DataLab's data service also provides direct support for the JSONP technique. Using this technique, OGDI DataLab's data services will call a callback function that you specify, passing in the results of your query in JSON format as an input format. To use this technique, issue a query with the following additional parameters: format=json&callback=yourCallback, where yourCallback is the name of a JavaScript callback function defined on the Web page issuing the request.
OGDI DataLab can also return data in the RDF (Resource Description Framework) format. RDF is a graph model for describing formally web resources and their associated metadata. Developed by W3C, RDF is a base language for semantic Web. To return data in RDF format, simply append the format=rdf parameter to your query:
Many of the data sets in OGDI DataLab also include geospatial data, which is returned in the KML (Keyhole Markup Language)format. This format is compatible with popular desktop and Web-based mapping technologies including Google Earth, Google Maps, ou encore Yahoo! Maps. To return geospatial data in KML format, append the format=kml parameter to your query. For example, to retrieve geospatial points in KML format for crime incidents in DC that occurred during the police department's evening shift:
Note that if the data set that you are using does not include any geospatial data, a KML query to OGDI DataLab will return an empty result set.
OGDI DataLab and the underlying Azure Table Storage service support paging through large sets of query results. The documentation for Query Timeout and Pagination in the Azure Table Storage service provides a complete description of how OGDI DataLab and the underlying Azure platform support paging. You can also refer to the "C#/ASP.NET Paging" sample on the OGDI DataLab's Data Browser page here, which demonstrates how to perform paged queries using the WCF Data Services client library.
Developers using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (and above) can use WCF Data Services to access data from OGDI DataLab through easy-to-use .NET classes. Within Visual Studio, this is accomplished by using the Add Service Reference feature (see .NET samples on the OGDI DataLab's Data Browser page here). To make accessing OGDI DataLab data easier from their language of choice, developers can refer to the various libraries listed on the OData web sites. Java developers can use for example ODataJClient. Conversely, PHP developers can take advantage of the OData SDK for PHP.

Going back to problem identification… Where are the pressures to change coming from? –Internal/External What should we change? Strategic (company-wide) Limited (specific area) Too often, organizations change in the wrong areas or at the wrong levels –It is important to isolate and pinpoint the change agent. How should we change it? How should we actually implement the change? What cultural, organizational characteristics need to be infused in the change.

All rights reserved.8–2 Model for Planned Organizational Change FIGURE 8–1 Source: Adapted from Larry Short, "Planned Organizational Change," MSU Business Topics, Autumn 1973, pp. 53–61 ed. Theodore Herbert, Organizational Behavior: Readings and Cases (New York: McMillan, 1976), p. 351.
Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.8–3 Strategic Change (1 of 4) Strategic change Changing the fundamental strategy of the organization –While this may be necessary, it does pull at the fabric of the organization Identity / Culture / Direction Sources and Effects of Strategic Change Strategic changes are usually triggered by factors outside the company. –Usually a function of competitive posturing Strategic changes are often required for survival –Given that other change initiatives fail, it's a must. Strategic changes implemented under crisis conditions are highly risky. –Given, they usually don't follow organizational ideals
Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.8–4 Technological and Structural Change (2 and 3) More specific in application Technological Change Changing the way the company creates and markets its products or services. –Production process, communication channels, workflow This approach to change allows for major modification to specific areas of the organization Without affecting others Less resistance from the overall organization Structural Change Changing one or more aspects of the company's organization structures. –Authority, Networks, Organizational Charts High amounts of resistance –Reorganizing Changing the firm's organization chart and structural elements.

FIGURE 8–2 Source: Adapted from Michael Goold and Andrew Campbell, "Do You Have a Well-Designed Organization?" Harvard Business Review, March 2002, p. 124. When you identify a problem with your design, first look for ways to fix it without substantially altering it. If that doesn't work, you'll have to make fundamental changes or even reject the design. Here's a step-by-step process for resolving problems.

- Forum: Classic Menswear
- Thread: Vancouver SF meetup -- proposed
I could make this. However, you may find that people may want to meet earlier if they work downtown and live elsewhere (I'm in North Vancouver, for example).
I've been in contact with a few SF members from Vancouver in my time here, so I can see if they would be available (in case they don't see this thread).

If there's one popular cliché that is dangerous to believe, it's this one.
"If it's too good to be true, it probably is."
Actually, I can even live with that phrase literally. But most people take it to say "If it's too good to be true then it DEFINITELY is."
That's dangerous because it programs the mind to disbelieve things that are wonderful. This is too good - forget about it. There must be a catch.
I just got back from the casino on the Queen Mary 2, which made me think about this subject. I went in, sat down at a slot machine, and made $8 in about five minutes. I didn't get lucky - it was a beatable slot machine. Eight dollars is peanuts, but focus on the fact that this slot machine is actually beatable.
Too good to be true?
A few years back I was doing a workshop in Vegas with Mystery. Before the workshop a bunch of us were hanging out in the Hard Rock Casino. A friend of a friend asked me what I did.
"Gambling, mostly. Some workshops with Mystery, too."
"I'm a professional gambler too."
"Oh yeah? What do you play?"
Probably poker. That's the only way to really make money in casinos these days.
"Slot machines."
Too good to be true? I was skeptical.
"If you promise not to tell anyone, I'll show you how."
For the next couple of hours he took me around from casino to casino, showing me which machines could be beaten and how to do it. I was totally blown away - I had no idea that any slot machines could be beaten.
It was a little too time consuming and brick-and-mortar specific for me to get into it, but now whenever I'm on a cruise ship or in a casino I check for the machines. They usually make me a few dollars every time I play them. Not a fortune, but enough to make a hundred or so for free every cruise.
If they had $1 or $5 denominations, of course, that could become more serious money.
Anyway, my whole gambling thing was another example. I remember one friend who I tried to teach it to. Brilliant guy, but very much into the "follow the herd" mindset. Good grades. Good college. Internship. Law school. BMW. Lawyer job.
I don't hold that against him in any way, by the way. He's an awesome guy who is really happy with what he's doing and does it excellently. That's all that ever matters - period.
No matter how much I told him about the money in gambling, he never once believed it. To demonstrate once I took his credit card, signed him up for a casino, did my thing, and made him $400 in half an hour. In two weeks they sent him the check for it.
"Thanks. I won't do it again, though. They took too long to pay. They're obviously making money off the interest."
WHAT? We had deposited $1000 from a CREDIT CARD (not his money) and he made 40% in two weeks. Is it possible that the casino could somehow make 40% in two weeks? No way - if they could they would just do that and forget the casino business.
But he couldn't accept that it could be real. It was too good to be true.
For a while I was making a lot of money with it. More than he would later make as a lawyer. I bought a house, two Mercedes, and a bunch of other junk I didn't need.
I would hear that he would complain to people about how much money my (middle class) parents were giving me and how I abused their generosity. The truth is that I had cut myself off a long time prior, but he couldn't see that. Too good to be true.
What about pickup? How many people read about it and then discard it instantly?
Oh, you mean that I can actually change my "luck" and get the girls I pine after? Nah, that sounds too good to be true. I'll go sit in the corner in the bar with my friends instead.
If I were in charge of the vault of idioms, I'd change that one to this:
"If it seems too good to be true, drop everything and check it out."
Not as catchy, but a lot more accurate and useful. If you want for truly amazing and incredible things to happen to you, consider taking advantage of things that seem too good to be true instead of running away from them with blinders on.
I had never gambled before and knew nothing about it, but I'd gotten too many e-mails like it. I was at my parents house for winter break during my first year at UT, and I was bored.
"Free $50 just for downloading our casino!"
Hmm. That doesn't seem very risky. I might as well download to see what it's all about.
Gambling Tales had a good collection of gambling stories. All the tales - such as, gambling addiction, violence in the casino, crimes against gambling outlets - were not mysterious. They were reported cases in which lawbreakers were brought to justice. This story about stealing from the casino published by 8 News Now on 27 Sep 2014 had an uncanny twist. It took place at the Stardust Hotel and Casino 22 years ago and the whereabouts of the thief remains unknown today.
The thief was an employee of the casino named Bill Brennan. He worked for the casino as a sports book cashier. After being on the job for four years he decided it was time to leave. On Sep 22, 1992 Brennan simply walked away with $507,361 in cash and chips in the morning. He did not use force or violence. "It appears he left the casino without being filmed by the surveillance cameras," Metro Police Lt. Joe Greenwood said in an interview in 1992.

Beautiful in the Ugly
17 comments:
I was my mommas caregiver until her death in april 2006, totally understand your heart. Praying for you.
ReplyDeletehi, am here from 5 min Friday.I say amen to"Lord, show me the beautiful in all of this one more time". As we cry out His Beautiful name, may beauty be all that we see. Beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteOh, Stephani, I so know exactly what you are feeling. So, so frustrating and you ask yourself, why in the world can't these folks just do their jobs and I always want them to love my Dad like I do. And, that's not going to happen, it's wishful thinking. Since Dad has been in the assisted living facility, things have been so much better and I have enjoyed the break. But, I know that at any time his situation could change. Prayers for you as you continue on one of life's most difficult journeys, caring for parents. Sweetest blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. It's not so easy to let it go, though, is it? Even when it feels ugly.
My prayer for you is that you find the good in the carers. That you find carer's that you can pray with.
That you can pray wisdom into the lives of the carers so they can care better for your family.
God works all things for the good of those that love Him and are called according to His purpose. He's got it.RepliesThanks so much for your words. There are many staff members at this facility who individually are superb at their jobs, who love and care for Mom and Dad. They do an amazing and tough job. I recognize that, and I try to let them know. My issue is not really with the caregivers themselves. There seems to be a breakdown at the management level and these caregivers do their jobs, often unrecognized, in spite of what may go on around (or above)them. The management team has dropped the ball on many occasions at many levels by not following through, and by saying one thing and doing another. It's very frustrating to say the least. But, I'm an advocate for my parents and will continue to be as long as they are on this earth. I'm praying about the situation and weighing my options. Prayers are appreciated!
I'm sorry you're still carrying such heavy loads. But it's okay to cry out about it. It IS hard, what you're doing. One day at a time. Continuing to pray for you...
ReplyDeleteI HATE that you're going through this. It's hard to trust someone with the care of a loved one, and you want to make sure they are being cared for the way that they cared for you.
ReplyDeleteThe burdens we carry with loved ones with heart wrenching diseases definitely causes many a night wandering and less sleep.
ReplyDeleteThis breaks my heart Stephani. We have been down a similar road with my mother in law...she is 87 and failing. We question the choices she made long ago and the ones we are making for her now. She recently dislocated her shoulder and they have tried unsuccessfully to get it back in place. Surgery is too risky, so they are managing her pain as best they can with medication. She remains sweet and soft spoken...we are thankful that she loves Jesus and will be healed in heaven one day. You have written so beautifully about your dad, your love and care for him is so evident and it is exhausting. You are in my prayers....
Thanks for leaving a comment! I hate that I have to put moderation on, but if I don't I get bombarded with spam emails! Hate that! But love that you visited so let me know you were here!

Here's my share for the day . . . a layout using LOTS of beautiful Shimmerz paint and Spritz. I love to create colorful backgrounds by spraying Spritz on white cardstock. For this "Joy" layout, I used Sea Foam Spritz for the sky and Olive Branch and Bamboo Leaf for the grass.
I created the grass by spraying white gauze with Olive Branch Spritz. I colored the small white Prima flowers with Sapphire Spritz.I painted the leaves and branches of the cut-out tree (cut from Webster's Pages paper) with Green Olive, Celery and Choc-o-lot Shimmerz paint. I made the pair of love birds out of shrink plastic:
Have a great day!!

MARJAH, Afghanistan - Cpl. Trey James, squad leader, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, smiled and waved to the approaching Afghan child.
"La La, how have you been? Do you remember me?" James asked the boy.
La La, the Afghan boy, walked up to James and the pair pounded fists. James, 22, a native of Atlanta, took a knee and began talking to La La and before long a small crowd of children gathered.
This is James' second deployment to Afghanistan. He was here in 2010 as a part of Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment.
When James first came to here in 2010, the area was not as secure as it is today.
"I would definitely say Marjah has improved," he said. "The first time, you couldn't go a whole day without hearing gunfire. Kids weren't out as much. It was a completely different place."
James is a member of Regimental Combat Team 5's Police Advisory Team. He and his fellow Marines have trained their Afghan counterparts to take control of security operations here.
"The Afghan Police are definitely well prepared," said Lance Cpl. Niko Azucenas, a police mentor with the PAT. "We are just here for support and to advise."
There are still risks associated with the job, but La La and the other children can help James and his Marines avoid some of those risks.
"Kids know more than we think," James said. "Kids here know everything. They know when an area isn't safe and they'll let you know."
But for James it isn't only important to interact with the children of Afghanistan.
"The adults embrace us as well," he said, "these people aren't too much different than we are. If they like you they are going to look out for you and make sure you're safe. They do these things because they consider you a friend."
James waved goodbye to the children before he climbed back into his vehicle.
"It's a surreal feeling," James said, "to know that I have a friend on this side of the world. I come over here as a Marine and I have someone who remembers me as a friend. I think that's pretty awesome."

Mix & Match
I had originally stopped to look at this photo because I loved the
Menu Cards
then the burst of flowers just took my breath away!
I LOVE fresh flowers and exceed my flower budget every single month,
just must have them around me.
& I know they're good for me, sometimes I find myself totally absorbed by the flowers on my table,
instead of the doggie or the TV, because they are calming to me.
anyway, next were the blue napkins & the little runner down the table.
I almost always use placemats (& I must have DOZENS DOZENS DOZENS)
as I find that with my particular table the placemats just work better,
I like showing the table's surface.
but, the really interesting thing is that the plates seem to be DIFFERENT
blue & white patterns.
very interesting and very pretty.
what do you think?

If internet use interferes with one's life and ability to function, internet addiction or compulsive internet use may be a concern.
Although there is debate in the academic world about the authenticity of internet addiction there is no dispute that, for some people, excessive internet use can cause distress, strife, and disruption in their ability to function. Internet addiction is somewhat of a misnomer and compulsive internet use seems to capture the nature of the disorder more accurately. It's compulsive because use of the internet acts as a substitute for an unmet lifestyle need. For example, someone who suffers from depression or anxiety may turn to the fantasy world of the internet to escape those uncomfortable emotions. Obviously this is also true of drug addictions, and although a recent study shows differences in the brain anatomy of excessive internet users, the results are inconclusive.
The Center for Internet Addictions proposes the following diagnostic criteria for internet addiction for users who have experienced four or more of the following symptoms in the last month:
- Feeling preoccupied with the Internet or online services and thinking about it while off line
- Feeling a need to spend more and more time online to achieve satisfaction
- Inability to control online use
- Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop online use
- Going online to escape problems or relieve feelings such as helplessness, guilt, anxiety or depression
- Lying to family members or friends to conceal how often and how long you stay online
- Risking the loss of a significant relationship, job, or educational or career opportunity because of online use
- Continuing use even after spending too much money on online fees
- Going through withdrawal when offline, displaying symptoms such as increased depression, moodiness, or irritability
- Staying online longer than originally intended
Compulsive internet use can take on several forms:
- cybersex & pornography
- online relationships
- gaming
- compulsive shopping
Regardless of the biological underpinnings of excessive internet use, it is clear that people experience distress and disruption to their lives when they compulsively turn to the internet for relief. If you think your internet usage is compulsive, contact a mental health professional for an evaluation. It is highly likely that you are using the internet to cope with an underlying issue.

Comedy The Misanthrope at Court Theatre's 2013 Molière Festival
Court Theatre,
at University of Chicago
5535 S. Ellis Avenue
Our Price
$17.50 - $32.50*
Full Price
$35 - $65
Court Theatre's 2013 Molière Festival presents The Misanthrope, one of the French playwright's most celebrated plays. In this delightful 17th-century comedy -- told with Molière's signature wit and reimagined by Court Theatre Artistic Director Charles Newell -- the cynical Alceste causes a scandal when he refuses to fit in with superficial society. Despite his distaste for social graces, he remains torn between his love for the flirtatious Célimène, who embodies everything he despises about society, and his own convictions. Unsettled by her flirtations with other men, the cantankerous lover suggests they run away together and start a new life. Newell returns to his roots in the French Baroque form to direct this classic comedy of manners.
* Additional fees apply. No coupon or promo codes necessary to enjoy the displayed discount price.
All offers for The Misanthrope have expired.

Netflix offers great opportunities for movie entertainment, allowing you to rent DVDs in the mail and watch movies online. Depending on your Internet connection, you may be forced to wait during a movie as Netflix buffers content. Altering how much Netflix buffers to your computer would help this problem, but since that's controlled by Netflix's code you can't change that. You can achieve a similar effect by altering the bit-rate, or the amount of data downloading to your computer. This can reduce or eliminate buffering pauses.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Internet connection
- Netflix account
Show More
- 1
Begin viewing a movie or TV show on Netflix. You may want to pause it initially to get this set-up done without the movie running.
- 2
Click somewhere around the movie itself to ensure the page is selected and ready for your keyboard shortcut.
- 3
Press and hold the shift key and press the "B" key. This is a keyboard shortcut to bring up the Netflix bit-rate menu.
- 4
Select a different bit-rate from the drop-down box that appeared. If you're trying to reduce pauses for buffering, select a bit-rate that's lower than what is already highlighted. This changes the rate of data downloaded to your computer and should provide a smoother viewing experience for you.
Tips and warnings
- Reducing the bit-rate will affect the quality of the image on your screen. You may want to experiment to find the ideal bit-rate for your set-up.

Jalopnik's Doug DeMuro has fashioned himself into an automotive guinea pig of sorts, testing out car theories so that the rest of us don't have to.
His latest act of self-sacrifice: buying a second-hand 2007 Aston Martin Vantage for $45,000 and using it as his daily driver.
This follows on the heels of his most recent ordeal: a year-long nightmare of Ferrari ownership.
Oddly enough, the big story here involves the $3,800 unlimited, bumper-to-bumper warranty DeMuro bought along with it. It covers all maintenance, and it does it forever. In the fewer than two months and 900 miles DeMuro has owned his Aston Martin, it has more than paid for itself.
So far, water has leaked into the cabin from a clogged air conditioning channel, a $738 thermostat has failed, a rock became caught in one of the brake assemblies, and a timing issue required a $4,409 fix.
In tomorrow's video, we explore the Aston's ramp climbing capabilities! pic.twitter.com/9doLO8VqAv
All were covered by the warranty, and while DeMuro has not seen as much of his new ride as he would have liked, he has not paid a cent for any of this.
Why would Aston Martin offer it then, when they could so quickly lose their shirts?
They probably imagine most of their clients will be using their cars more sparingly — as occasional weekend playthings. Despite delivering unrivaled performance and luxury, most owners treat exotic or high-end cars to pampered lives in cushy garages. Aston also has to appeal to a level of client that expects a care-free ownership experience.
Always garaged. Excessively pampered. Never seen snow. pic.twitter.com/7zcqmqZk0K
Also, it's important to mention here that not all Aston Martins experience such frequent problems. And that for car companies, bad reputations are sometimes easy to make but hard to lose.
The news of Demuro's exploits is appreciated among the Business Insider transportation team, however. Recently, our own Matt DeBord and Ben Zhang fell so in love with a new Aston Martin DB9 that they considered buying one for themselves.
Luckily, they can thank Doug Demuro and Jalopnik for taking that bullet for them.

Levi Bell can see a person's soul just by looking into their eyes. In Monroe Poirier's eyes, he sees the devil himself.
When Monroe moves back to the small Southern town of Malcome, Levi is repelled by the darkness of the stranger's soul. But Levi is cursed to love things dark and wicked, and he's seduced each time he looks into Monroe's eyes-and drawn to the swamp behind the old Poirier house.
As strange occurrences begin to happen when shadows and visions visit him in the night, Levi sees a flicker of something good in Monroe's soul. But the need to submerge himself in the swamp's murky waters grows stronger as Levi's desire for Monroe becomes unbearable.
In his struggles to help Monroe save his soul, Levi will have to decide if it's worth losing his own.

Heroscape is a strategy war game set on the planet Valhalla, where the primary inhabitants, the Kyrie, have discovered magical wellsprings. By drinking from these wellsprings, some Kyrie have gained visions and powers. These super-Kyrie, or Valkyrie, battle to control the wellsprings, using armies summoned from their magical visions.
The game is played using linkable, stackable battlefield tiles that allow you to customise your playing field. Your armies are represented by 3-D figurines, each with cards explaining the figures' strengths and weaknesses.
The army figures available for purchase stretch across multiple genres and worlds. Sometimes, though, you might get your own idea for an army and want to create a figure for yourself.

- 1
Sketch a rough draft of the figure you want to create. Using a pencil will allow you to make easy corrections as you go along. Sketch at least the front and back of the concept; this will help you envision the overall look of your 3-D model. You may also want to include a sketch of one or both sides of the figure. Add colour to at least one side of the sketch to give you an idea of what your figure should look like when it's finished.
- 2
Select your figure's base. There are several options available; you should decide whether you want to sculpt the base your figure will stand on or if you want to purchase a premade plastic base. If you choose to purchase one, you will likely find properly sized bases at your local gaming store. Heroscape figures can range in size; you will want to purchase an appropriately sized base.
- 3
Sculpt your figure using your sketch as a blueprint. Many war-gaming figures are sculpted using a two-part epoxy putty called Green Stuff. This putty comes in blue and yellow strips that, when mixed, will begin to harden (or "cure") over the course of two to three hours. You can find Green Stuff at your local gaming store. Be certain to use disposable gloves, such as surgical gloves, as epoxy putty can be toxic. Work in a well-ventilated area.
Choose whether you will use an armature or not; you may also elect to build only a partial armature. Experiment with each style to see which works best. You may use special armature wire or a few bent paper clips to provide a "skeleton" to help support your sculpture.
If using an armature, attach it to a solid surface so that you can start adding your Green Stuff to it. Build up your sculpture in layers; some sculptors prefer to first create the body of the figure, then layer the clothing or armour on top of it. Others layer the figure with clothing folds and armour lines already in place.
Some people prefer to sculpt one piece of the figure at a time (such as the head, followed by the torso, followed by the legs and arms). This is a viable option for beginners, although it is fairly easy to misjudge the proportions. If you sculpt your figure one piece at a time, a partial armature -- select pieces of an inner wire skeleton -- may be helpful to support your figure.
You can use actual sculpting tools purchased from an art or gaming store or you can use a craft knife. Some people even prefer to use toothpicks or other small, sharp items such as old dental picks. Be sure to keep your sculpting tools wet, or else they may collect Green Stuff on them.
- 4
Give your figure time to set properly. Read the directions on the Green Stuff package to determine the recommended waiting period before it is safe to proceed with your figure.
Attach your cured figure to its base with superglue or more Green Stuff and allow sufficient time for the glue to dry or the Green Stuff to cure.
- 5
Paint your figure. Many gaming stores carry acrylic paint specifically made for painting war-gaming figures. It is highly recommended that you apply primer to your figure to help your paint stick properly; primer is available at most gaming stores.
Once you have painted your figure, allow it to dry.
Tips and warnings
- Your local gaming store will likely have a lot of what you need for this project: sculpting tools, epoxy putty, craft knives and so forth. They are also very likely to have experienced employees who will be happy to answer your questions.
- Green Stuff, once mixed, will set over the course of two to three hours. Make sure you sculpt all of the details you want while the putty is still soft; otherwise you will have to go in with a hobby knife to cut away any further details you desire.
- Two-part epoxy putty should not be used bare-handed. Use disposable gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. Read the directions that come with your putty and follow them closely.
- Always be sure to ask permission to use your figure in a battle before doing so. If you have created the statistics for your figure by yourself, you may be discouraged from using it in a game or tournament for reasons of fairness or game balance.

"Hike on the highest European trails without the effort of reaching them"
In the presence of Mont Blanc, a dense network of paths allows you to explore the wonders of the Alps bringing hiking to its highest levels. Thanks to the cable car of Courmayeur you can be transported in a few minutes to a universe where nature is expressed in full and mans step is able to be at one with the wild landscape: a world where wonder is at home. Choose your route here and discover how to protect it.

Follow only the yellow trail signs, the red and white marks on the trees and on the rocks indicates forest bounderies and are not for navigation! |
Protect your mountain
A glass bottle, abandoned in a field, takes 4,000 years to degrade. A plastic cup continues to pollute after two centuries, the same for an aluminum can. Even a cigarette butt can leave an imprint of five years. In Courmayeur, those who walk along a path become part of it, at the same time explorer and protector. The standard for hikers are a set of rules that combine common sense and experience: reading them can help you prepare your trip with precision and safety. Without limiting your freedom, but learning to know about an exceptional landscape in continual evolution.
The white and red symbols that you may notice on stones or the stems of plants do not indicate trails, their sole purpose is to define the forest zoning parcels!
These signposts consist of a pole with yellow coloured signs containing a number or the abbreviation of the trail, the placename of the area in question, the altitude, the walking time and the difficulty level of the trail, which may be:
T = tourist excursionist itinerary
E = excursionist itinerary without technical difficulty
EE = itinerary for expert excursionists
EEA = itinerary for expert excursionists with equipment
The vertical signposts are located at the entrance to the trails and near the refreshment stops (retreats, bivouacs,..), from then onwards the horizontal signposts will indicate the route.
They consist of yellow coloured symbols with the numbers inscribed in black or an abbreviation in letters, integrated with directional arrows, they are usually found on stones, at junctions or at the crossroads of paths.
A few rules are sufficient to get the most out of your trip, avoiding obstacles and difficulties.
The report can be found at tourist offices, the offices of the guides and the reception of your hotel. If you are surprised by bad weather, stop, find shelter, and wait until the conditions improve.
Choose an itinerary based on your physical abilities. Documented through maps and guides that illustrate the duration, route and its difficulty. You can find information at the offices of the guides, tour operators, the shelter operators and those who normally go to the mountains and know the area.
Ideally dress in layers that are removable or put back on as needed:
- thermal t-shirt on the skin;
- Batteries;
- Shorts and trousers;
- Waterproof jacket;
- Hiking boots or walking shoes;
- Sticks which help the ascent.
In the bag:
- Replacement thermal shirt and socks;
- Hat for protection from the sun;
- Sunglasses (Category 3 or 4);
- Sunscreen (for spreading on all sides of the body exposed to the sun);
- Supply of water (drink a lot!);
- Energy food;
- camera.
In case of emergency:
- An elastic bandage, plasters of various sizes including those for blisters, eye drops, a painkiller, an anti-inflammatory and a suction device in case of poisonous bites.
Leaving for a hike or climb, tell someone (hotel, family, acquaintances) your destination,what time you are leaving and what time you think you will be back Before leaving, leave your phone number and get the numbers of the various emergency services. Avoid lone trips. In the mountains never go alone!
At the start of the path you will find signs with the name of the destination, approx time it will take and the number or the letters usually painted on stones along the way, showing the way. In special cases, the path is indicated by "little men" in stone. Find out beforehand how your path will be indicated.
Respect for nature allows you and others to live the best of the mountain.
- Do not pick the flowers;
- Do not scare the animals;
- Don't abandon waste (keep it in your backpack and throw it in the appropriate recycling containers);
- Follow the trails;
- Try to determine whether those who accompany you are tired and need help;
- Give way to those going up;
- Greet other hikers;
- Help anybody in trouble.
Emergency numbers
To reduce accidents, before you begin a trip you should always find out about the itinerary and always inquire about the weather situation: it is fundamental to know not to start when conditions are difficult.
If you need to ask for help, call the appropriate number based on where you are: the Italian emergency service responds to 118, while in France you must call 112 and Switzerland (Valais) 144.

UPDATE: Stifel Reiterates on Mellanox Technologies Ltd. on Results/Guidance Miss, Position for Accelerated Growth
In a report published Thursday, Stifel analyst Kevin Cassidy reiterated a Buy rating on Mellanox Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), but lowered the price target from $63.00 to $55.00.
In the report, Stifel noted, "Mellanox' results and guidance missed our below-consensus estimates. While this is clearly a disappointment, we believe the company's end-to-end high-performance networking solutions are poised for accelerated growth in 2014. In particular, we expect Mellanox can gain market share in the broader Ethernet markets that previously the company could not fully address. We maintain our Buy rating."
Mellanox Technologies Ltd. closed on Wednesday at $38.00.

Lord Of The Rings
And the winner of Picture Day is…
(submitted by Lizzie)
Most teenagers deal with plenty of stress, from school to homework to their home life, but oftentimes teens don't have to deal with unusual embarrassments like Rain has. This 16-year-old kid had to deal with his parents, Dale and Rochelle, waving as he left for school. Not wanting to endure the embarrassment any longer, Rain told his mother, "Don't let dad go out there again." Instead of listening to his son, however, Dale had something else in store.
The pictures below show Dale's clever response to his son's request.
"At 9 years old, I learned to waterski. Being short, I got a lot of spray in the face. Goggles seemed like a good idea at the time."
"This is me after I used up a tube of my mother's lipstick…everywhere but my lips. Needless to say, my mother felt the need to capture this on film. Upon seeing it, most people comment that I look like I'm covered in blood. Lovely."
(submitted by Kacie)
"I was so tired of my little sister following me around and having to be in every picture I was in – she just had to be the center of attention. This time my mom told me (in the red dress) and my friend while playing dress up to pose for a picture and I was not going to let my sister be in it. I held the door closed (notice my devilish smile) so she could not come outside in the picture. My mom didn't even notice this until she got the picture developed. And I saw my little sister got her way, she was still in the picture."

An oldie-but-goodie... for good reason, the LED WHIP 'N SKIP ankle skipper has kept up with on-the-go kids for generations! A fun way to build coordination, endurance, and to burn energy, our updated version's built-in revolution counter and six flashing LEDs kick the fun up a notch, so kids can cook up friendly competitions with themselves or other kids. Takes 3x AG13 batteries (included); cord is 30" long. For ages 5 and up.
Kids love to move. Our updated new version of a classic toy from the 90's with LED lights has kids hopping like frenzied frogs for hours on end. Why is the Sparkler WHIP 'N SKIP so mesmerizing? Though the basic movement is easy to learn, it's a challenge to keep it going, a feat of balance, endurance, and coordination. And of course, it has motion-activated LED lights to the delight of kids.
To play, simply attach the WHIP 'N SKIP's tether to one leg and begin rolling the ball on the ground in a circular pattern around your body. With each revolution, your other leg must hop or skip over the tether. Kids get their competitive juices flowing to see who can go the longest and fastest, as the ball's built-in counter records every revolution. Players devise different ways of moving the ball, and imagine all sorts of games and challenges. It's a great way to burn off energy, and kids don't even realize they're getting an invigorating workout!
