Women's Foundation Luncheon set for Friday in Vail
July 31, 2012
Editor's note: This story first appeared in the summer 2012 edition of Vail Luxury Magazine. Eagle County's male-to-female ratio has long been a running joke in the Vail Valley. In reality, women make up 46.2 percent of the local population, according to census data from 2009. This means that programs and nonprofits that focus on the female gender have a wide-ranging impact on the community as a whole – women aren't a fringe group. Created in 1987, The Women's Foundation of Colorado has been working for 25 years to improve the lives of women and girls across the state.Pam Smith is on the Board of Trustees of The Women's Foundation and is actively involved in the local Vail Valley Committee of the organization. Smith thinks that the best thing about The Women's Foundation is its commitment to research-based action."What attracted me most to this Foundation was that everything they do flows from research," Smith said. "That's so important. You can throw money at problems until you're blue in the face, but unless you understand the problems it's difficult to create effective solutions."And what are the problems? "Last year, 5,750 girls dropped of out of high school in Colorado," Smith explains. "Girls who drop out have a harder time finding employment than boys; their jobs generally provide lower earnings; they have poorer health and they often need to rely on public support programs for their family's basic needs."The average annual income for women in Eagle County without a high school diploma is $12,110. A high school graduate can more than double her annual earning potential. According to the 2011 Colorado Self-Sufficiency Standard Update commissioned by the Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute, a single mother supporting one pre-schooler needs an income of $54,994 to be considered "self-sufficient" in Eagle County. Approximately 35 percent of single moms on state work supports are high school dropouts. It is estimated that each dropout costs the U.S. $200,000 in their lifetime. The Foundation is focused on creating programs that not only help women and girls individually, but also improve the status of women in Colorado. "We're going for systemic change," Smith said. "We work to remove barriers that prevent women and girls from becoming self-sufficient."Smith said that due to the high cost of living, many women in the Valley struggle to support themselves."With the average wage in the Valley far below the wage necessary to achieve economic self-sufficiency, this is an issue that reaches beyond just impacting women. We are all familiar with many of our residents holding multiple jobs in order to make ends meet," said Lisa Pease, a Women's Foundation Trustee since 2007 and Vail Valley resident.In 2008, The Women's Foundation commissioned a study by Columbia University which then identified the "cliff effect" – when benefits end abruptly without a sliding scale to phase out the benefit. Women who were receiving some type of federal or state support (such as food stamps or child care) were actually turning down raises and promotions because "at a certain income level they would lose all their benefits," Pease said. Pease refers to this as "falling off the cliff," in that a small increase in wages leads to the support being terminated, leaving the woman in a worse financial condition than before the increase, thereby inhibiting the woman's efforts to become self-sufficient. As a result of this study, the Foundation created a variety of initiatives to tackle the problem, including supporting the successful passage of Senate Bill 22 during the 2012 state legislative session. The bipartisan legislation allows up to 10 county governments to extend the eligibility period for the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program within their county from six months to two years to mitigate the cliff effect. The pilot program allows children to remain in important early childcare, gives parents the ability to work and advance their careers, and provides employers with stable workers. Parents receiving extended assistance must pay an increasing portion of the childcare costs over the two-year period.
Funds raised from the group's annual luncheon support the statewide efforts of The Foundation as well as Eagle County nonprofit organizations serving women and girls. "Last year, our Vail Valley Committee granted funds to Eagle County organizations with programs that focused on the economic self-sufficiency of women and girls," Deb Luginbuhl said. The 2012 grants were awarded to local programs that focus on the girls' dropout rate as well as the contributing factors that keep them from graduating high school or continuing their education. "It's exciting to see the positive outcome of the programs that receive the grants. Lives are changed," Luginbuhl said. At Red Canyon High School, support from the Foundation allows girls to participate in an internship program where they learn about different careers and are mentored by successful women.Based in Eagle County, one of The Red Ribbon Project's goals is to prevent HIV, STIs and pregnancy in teenage girls through education and outreach.The Girl PowHER Summer Program is run by the Vail Valley Foundation's Youth Foundation. Studies show that 70 percent of youth who play sports quit by the age of 12. Girl PowHER aims to reverse this trend for middle and high school girls by engaging them in physical and recreational activities. "As a long-time partner with The Women's Foundation, VVF's Youth Foundation has been able to increase mentorship opportunities, enhance academic support and increase fitness among girls most at-risk for dropping out of high school," said Susie Davis, VVF's Youth Foundation Vice President of Education. "Not only does their financial support have an immense impact on our community, but the research and advocacy throughout our state directly benefits our community." Research also shows that girls' interest in science starts to drop starting in the third grade. The Walking Mountains Science Center attempts to foster a passion for science in third to fifth grade girls with their Girls in Science program. Careers in science are one promising path to self-sufficiency.The Bright Future Foundation aims to break the cycle of domestic violence that affects women in Eagle County. The Women's Foundation helps in part to fund the "Light of Hope Self Sufficiency Initiative," in which those who have gone through the women's shelter learn how to make and sell oil candles."If it weren't for funding from the Women's Foundation, we might not be able to offer this," said Sheri Mintz, Executive Director of the Bright Future Foundation. "Women report that they feel supported and stronger when they come through the 'Light of Hope' program. We feel that it's helping the women to maintain steady employment."
In addition to helping to fund organizations, The Women's Foundation also raises awareness about important issues affecting women and girls today. The theme for this year's annual Vail Valley Luncheon is A Place at the Table: Gender Bias in the Media (You Can't Be What You Can't See!). Keynote speaker will be Jennifer Siebel Newsom, writer and director of "MissRepresentation," a documentary film which looks at the ways in which the media negatively depicts women and how this affects their ability to become leaders.The organizers of the luncheon selected Newsom to be the keynote speaker because, in addition to making the film, she also created MissRepresentation.org, a call-to-action campaign that seeks to challenge the media's narrow view of women and girls."Young girls who hear all those comments about their looks, and so few about their capacity to lead, are handicapped with the notion that their value lies in their beauty," Newsom said. "We have so few women and such limited diversity in our media leadership … We know that 3 percent of the positions of clout, of the decision-makers, are women. (This) means that 97 percent of what you watch, read and hear comes from the male perspective."According to Newsom, without positive images of women in media, it is harder for young girls to believe that they have the power to become leaders.
This message aligns with the Women's Foundation's goal to not only enable women to become self-sufficient but also be at the forefront of changes in our state and community. The more women gain positions of power, the more they will be able to give back and help other women and girls in return. Having lived all over the world, Smith thinks that the citizens of Eagle County are exceptional in their commitment to charity."This is one of the most philanthropic, collaborative communities that I've ever lived in," Smith said. "There does not seem to be this competition between nonprofits for donors. Nonprofits look for ways to work together for the betterment of the community and the people in it."Since coming to the Vail Valley in 2006 Smith has already seen the fruits of the Foundation's labor. When she attended a Girl PowHER mentoring program this June, she could see changes in the high school girls from the previous year."The girls are more engaged," Smith said. "Now they know that somebody cares about them. They've been exposed to different role models. They're looking towards the future and are excited about it."The progress of women doesn't benefit females alone. Families, businesses, and the community at large all reap rewards when women are healthier and more financially secure. Since its founding 25 years ago, The Women's Foundation has granted nearly $10 million to research, advocacy and direct service programs for women and girls around the state. With all the ways they've helped local women and girls, it's hard to imagine a time before The Women's Foundation existed."We're so appreciative," Mintz said. "They're such a strong voice in our community surrounding women and girls. We feel fortunate to partner with them."

Posts Tagged 'Somerset House in London'
tis the season to be jolly
December 5th, 20110
The beginning of new week and hello to the Festive Season! As soon as December arrives there's a collective sigh of relief as people begin to wind down towards the Christmas break. If you can ignore the over-commercial nature in the run up to Christmas it is still a really special time of year, and it's possible to immerse yourself in all the traditions and events that show the real spirit of Christmas. Even if you're a bit of a 'Bah Humbug', you may still find a little bit of joy in our Bravissimo 'Christmassy Things To Do' guide.
Somerset House in London has just opened their now famous Christmas ice rink. There is no better place to practice your 'Dancing on Ice' steps than in the beautiful and breathtaking surroundings of Somerset House. They have normal skating sessions, a skate school for people who want to learn to skate, and they even hold club nights, starting with the London summer festival Lovebox coming to the ice this very weekend.
Not to be left out, the rest of the country are going ice crazy too, The Ice Factor is 900 sq. m rink in York and is part of the Winter Wonderland Village Square. Or for an authentic Christmas atmosphere, you can skate to the sound of the choir, at the rink next to 11th-century Winchester Cathedral. You will find other rinks at Spinningfields in Manchester, one in Cardiff next to City Hall, the Eden Project, Cornwall and one of Europe's biggest and most awe inspiring, is at the foot of Edinburgh Castle.
If you don't want to take the risk of breaking a bone before the December 25th, how about meandering around a Christmas Market. Christmas Markets began as early as the late middle ages in Germanic Europe, one of the oldest recorded is Dresden Christmas Market, first held in 1434, it is still going today and attracts between 1.5 and 2 million people a year. There are some amazing Christmas markets up and down the UK check out http://www.christmasmarkets.com/ for one local to you. Here is a selection… Traditional Christmas Market in Glasgow at St Enoch Square, Nottingham Christmas Market Smithy Row, Leeds Christkindelmarkt Traditional German Christmas Market, Bath Christmas Market and Dickens Christmas Market At Rochester Castle.
How about listening to something magical, that is guaranteed to make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. English Cathedral Choirs are performing in Cathedrals all over the country. Take a look at the music schedules listed on the Cathedral websites there will be a mixture of free and ticketed events. There are carols at Winchester Cathedral on 9th December at 2.30pm and Carols By Candlelight on 22nd December 2011 at 7:30 pm at Ely Cathedral. And for the ultimate experience, if you are visiting London have a look at the music programme at St Pauls http://www.stpauls.co.uk there are many carols concerts taking place, starting with The Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten, this coming Saturday 10th December at 5pm.
Christmas can be more than just buying presents; it can also be about sharing amazing experiences with your loved ones.

I would, but, I live in TX so I don't know if it would do any good....
Would anyone be interested in signing an Open Carry petition for South Carolina?
Thank you!
I would, but, I live in TX so I don't know if it would do any good....
Signed it. Would be great if this could get approved.
Can't sign it or I would. I'd sign anything to help the cause for any brother in the union cause I know they'd do the same for me. I'll post your link in the South Carolina chapter forum of Dodgetruckworld for you though.
You can keep up to date on the thread with the bottom link if you wish.
Last edited by Ram Rod; 07-08-2008 at 02:22 PM.
I see it's already got one sig from that site. It's good to have resources. Good luck with it, I'll continue to hope the best for you there. Be sure to post when it happens.
The way the petition is written I couldn't open carry, even though I presently carry concealed. As a property owner I got a non-resident CWP. But I still can't buy a gun in SC - at least until I retire and move there permanently. So I think I can't sign.
Thanks for the support and help even if you didn't sign it. Thanks to Ram Rod for posting it on his other forum. You' re great!
I put the link on USACarry South Carolina forum and already have a couple more signatures for you. Hopefully we can get a lot more.
just signed it...i will get my friends to do the same.
Check out http://www.opencarry.org There are probably a few people there that will help where they can
I am going to give your link to a few gun toting tech heads I know that live in your state. I'll have them talk to others in your state as well
I totally disagree with the practice of open carry. I do however, support your petition to do it.
I just signed. I will pass this on to others.
A bg sees a room full of carrying citizens. Do you think he will try to rob the cashier?
Swampfox 1975.. are you are were you by chance with the McEntire ANG?
- any malcontent determined to shoot someone will certainly target you first.
- the "BG", will certainly have his weapon concealed; giving him the advantage, not me. I prefer it the other way around.
- it's much easier for anyone who has difficulty getting a firearm to grab yours instead.
- and least importantly, people in general fear guns. I don't need anyone to fear me. Armed or not, I'm the same guy. No one knows I have it, and I don't have to defend my decision to carry it.
Very interesting points. There were a few I had not thought off. Thanks for your insight.
signed it hope it works out
signed, sealed, delivered. I'm in!

"One thing that made this card stand out among the samples I ordered was the paper. I loved the texture and weight of it. It was very high quality. I also liked the soft femininity of the design. It was girly without being over the top and in your face. A very classy design."
"I received several compliments on this birth announcement. It has a sweet, soft design that is perfect for a little girl - very high quality."
"I loved this announcement. I had newborn photos taken professionally. For the announcement I used a fall themed picture and it matched perfectly with the orange on the card. The cards are nice and thick. The bows on the back were a cute touch. I got a lot of great feedback from everyone I sent these to. I am also very impressed with the quickness that I received them."
"Wonderful design, really happy with the orange color and the painterly style. Excited to send this out. Wish the print quality a little more crisp but overall very happy with the end result."
"I love the bright colors and ability to showcase more than one photo. The delivery was so quick on both my initial order and my re-order. Thank you for your great customer service!"

[minutes of the last meeting]
There was a query in relation to lighting used in the North East Corner and the nearby steps. In the past this system relied on sensors but there is now a manual system in place and all the feedback is now that this is much better.
As an overview, we have 35,000 general admission season ticket holders and only 1,400 didn't renew for this season, down from nearer 2,000 last season - these seats were allocated to those who were top of the season ticket waiting list. There were about 3,000 requests for seat re-allocation and we were able to assist in just under half of these cases. Silver membership currently stands at about 25,000 and Red membership around 74,000 - about 2,000 were upgraded from Red to Silver membership and we're looking at a piece of development so that Red members know their position in the queue - we have to ensure that this is as clear as possible and doesn't generate a huge number of queries. - Junior Gunners stands at just under 22,000 members. Purple (Disabled Supporters) membership is about 1,600.
We discussed at the last forum the definition and boundaries of membership and we've got a dedicated team specifically conducting comprehensive research and, based on their findings, will come up with some new proposals in due course.
In relation to ticket touting, we're working in many areas to minimise the opportunities, Firstly, if we're suspicious of a particular transaction we have a varied ways we can check the validity, which is something we've done for some time. Obviously, touting techniques change over time and we're always changing our focus on how we deal with this topic. We work with both the Metropolitan Police and the Premier League, our collective efforts have resulted in over 50 internet ticketing agencies closed down as well as cancelling over 1,000 memberships. We're also continuously working with other agencies looking at more sophisticated ways of addressing the issue.
Do you have an idea of how many tickets on a typical match day are bought via touts?
With what we are doing, we believe it's probably in the region of 1,000. The dynamics of how they operate change all the time.
Metropolitan Police are focused on getting the people who own or organise these companies and not just the runners on the street - this is something that affects all major sports and has links to organised crime. On a match day, the police's main focus is crowd control but we do and will continue to work with them on specific match-day touting operations. We always ask fans to provide us with information and not get directly involved.
We've recently launched a new version of e-tickets and on-line box office with future enhancements and developments in the pipeline. We've also improved ticket exchange and made the whole process a lot cleaner, as well as extended the time in which it operates. E.g. for today's game the scheme would have previously closed on the Wednesday, it can now remain open until 3pm on the Friday. This system is proving more successful year on year with increasing numbers of fans re-allocating their tickets in this way - we've now got up to near 1,400 tickets exchanged for one game. We know that there are other fans who aren't able to get to games and don't currently use the system - we're continually promoting this scheme as it benefits both existing ticket holders and those who aren't always able to get tickets to games they want to go to. We've also developing a charity system where those who can't attend a game well in advance can donate the ticket to charity. Ultimately, we have large numbers of fans who always want to come to games and we're always looking at new schemes to ensure that our stadium is always full and it's not in any of our interests to have any empty seats at games. One integrated benefit of this is that the more effectively these schemes work, the less scope there is for ticket touts to operate. These schemes are available for both club level and general admittance.
Does the exchange scheme work for UEFA Champions League games?
Currently it doesn't extend to these games and the main reason for that is there are additional media requirements and UEFA regulations that means we don't know how many tickets we may need to reserve for these requirements.
Our friends and family scheme has also grown and there have been a few games where over 1,300 tickets have been allocated in this way. We also participate in the O2 ticket priority scheme, whereby any tickets that aren't bought by silver, red or friends and family then get offered to those who've registered with O2 before they go on general sale.
Are fans able to choose their seats on-line - also there's not a great deal of positive feedback about the on-line supporters centre?
This is something that is part of our new software development and is very close to being universally offered. The problem at the moment is that when we have a large ticket on sale, the demand on the server unsurprisingly is very large so we are looking at our infrastructure and servers to ensure that when this system is fully operational, we have the capacity and ability to service multiple simultaneous requests.
We first introduced the on-line supporters centre over three years ago and at the time it was very well received, as it was a big improvement on what we previously had. It has provided beneficial to both us and fans, in that it allowed us to answer specific questions more directly. There was a technical issue in that there were two buttons to press for fans to formally submit their request and some queries didn't get through to us - we've now fixed this glitch and the feedback we get is usually positive and 98% of emails and requests received are dealt within 1 day and the majority of the remainder are dealt with within 1 working week. We recognised half way through last season that the service needed updating, we are currently looking at potential solutions we've had meetings with other providers to find a system that improves the customer experience and provides excellent management information which will help us to continually enhance the service..
Why has the Club introduced the log-in system for the Partisan Belgrade away game?
We were concerned that there weren't many tickets available and the ones that were were very cheap. We thought this was the best way to ensure that fans that wanted to attend the game had every opportunity to do so. There is the danger that fans could potentially buy the cheap tickets to build up their credits but not actually attend the game, stopping the ones that really wanted to. We're running it as a pilot and it obviously won't be needed for all away games but if needed, we would apply it again in the future and we could look into applying this to away Premier League games.
On a more general point, we as a club understand that after on field activities, ticketing and issues around ticketing is the most talked about topic amongst fans and as we can see from the discussion today - we're improving on a wide number of areas and are always seeking ways to fine-tune and improve how we offer tickets. We're very lucky to be in the position of having many more active fans than seats available.
Arsenalisation of the Stadium / Atmosphere
This is something that we feel has no defined end point and we're always going to be making improvements and changes to the feel and appearance of the stadium. We know the potential that the stadium and surrounding area has and it will be an on-going process. In terms of recent improvements, you all know about the clock coming back and the naming of the stands - we've made very good progress on the upper tier, replicating to a large extent what we have in place in the lower tier. We're aware that Club Level was a very corporate space, hence we're also working to bring Arsenal elements into this area. There's also a massive opportunity at podium level. Generally we've done a lot of work on graphic and pictorial representations of the club but we're also aware that we need to continue to improve service levels and the interactions with fans on a matchday.
Most fans are very happy with the lower tier and the family enclosure area but as stated it's a rolling process and we're already looking at ways to further improve the appearance in these areas. There are some things that are already out of date, for example, teams we've played in Europe and we have to ensure that we keep these alive and fresh. In terms of what we stand for as a Club, we're also mindful that we need to improve the away area, which is quite grey at the moment.
The programme mural inside the stadium is fantastic- it really captures our history and you just have to stop and look at it. We're aware that it can take a long time to get it to just how you want it.
It's great that when we introduce something new, you look afresh at what you already have in place and how you can improve it. As a Club, we're always looking forward, indeed 'Forward' was our Club's first ever motto. We're aware that we've got the best stadium in the world but we're always looking at what's next. The external players mural has gone down very well but currently you can't see it at night games - we're going to be installing lights in the next couple of months and that will add to the atmosphere at evening kick-offs.
Also in terms of matchday interactions with fans, we have about 1,300 Delaware North staff in the stadium and we know we have lots of opportunities to deliver what fans want as part of their overall experience. We've engaged with their senior management about how to improve the fan experience in terms of catering. .
What feedback are you getting from fans in terms of catering?
We're aware we don't please everybody and we have had mostly positive but some negative feedback - it's very difficult to please all fans that use our catering facility, from general admittance to corporate hospitality level. However, there's not a stadium within the UK where I would say we want to replicate what they do. We're usually in the top two or three of surveys in relation to this, but we're in the top two or three of a pretty average bunch - our level should be Arsenal. It's not in the Club's interest to sell average fare to fans as ultimately they won't purchase it - we accept that we can improve in this area, but we do also get a lot of positive response. Food quality, choice, speed of service and pricing are all inter-linked and we want to get these all right. We are looking at different options - We recently tried a different food option and delivery in the Legends Bar at Club Level and this went down very well and this enables us to work with Delaware and continually evolve what we do in terms of catering. There are operational boundaries and constraints to overcome when we experiment with new food options but we will work around these.
Some of the banners that where on permanent display last season were removed over the summer - we've been told that people need to erect them prior to and remove them after each game - what is the reasoning behind this?
For a number of different reasons we can't leave them there permanently but we want the banners there on match days and we'll work with RedAction to come up with a solution to this.
Other Business
Equality Awareness Day
We have an on-going diversity initiative called Arsenal for Everyone and as part of that, there's a working group within the club who have on-going contact with Kick it Out who come up with ways to celebrate and promote diversity in all aspects of the club. The date is set for October 16th this year for the game against Birmingham and it would be great if forum members can let us know over the next few days ideas they may have in relation to promoting this.
Can the Club explain the thinking behind their previous engagement with the Israeli Tourist Board?
We had a one year deal with the Israeli Tourist Board two seasons ago, which has now expired. We all know that the Arsenal community is a very diverse group of people who have strong views - we as a Club are apolitical - the common theme that brings is all together is our love of Arsenal and we don't take a stance across a wide variety of issues. We try to embrace all groups who are Arsenal fans and have for example also been involved with some work within the Palestinian community. It's not an easy line to tread in that we can be criticised for taking a step or for not taking a step, but we always think very carefully about where fans' values are. We don't want to upset our fans.
Can we set up an on-line forum for all of us to log in at any time and discuss with each other what are the key topics to cover at these meetings , as well as work together outside the forum - we need a full time supporters representative.
Jill Smith is the dedicated full-time representative in relation to dealing with on-going fan queries about ticketing. The forum can cover several topics in substantial detail but shouldn't be clogged up with specific queries about ticketing for specific matches - these are obviously important and there are other avenues other than the fans' forum to raise and deal with these topics. As there are only three meetings a season, it's to your benefit to raise the particular points outside the forum as we as a Club are able to deal with them more directly and efficiently - this forum is to discuss patterns of topics and larger themes. We will be publicising again the dedicated email addresses on an on-going basis. We're also taking photos of new members today.
There was a discussion on Match of the Day a couple of weeks ago when the presenter was talking about racism in football and at the end of the discussion he stated it's a shame we can't talk in the same way about homophobia. We as a Club have trail-blazed in other areas over the years and we should also take the lead on this topic, not just in terms of policy but also in action. Some Football League clubs have agreed to fly the rainbow flag at their grounds to be a part of LBGT month in February. There are many other things that the club as an employer can do and whilst this is a cultural issue, I believe that we as a club are in a good position to raise awareness on this topic. People listen to Arsenal.
We as a Club have discussed this as part of our understanding of diversity and our campaign of Arsenal for Everyone. We are a football club and football comes first, but we are also a club and we need to represent and support all sections of our community. Everybody is welcome at our Club and that there is no openly gay professional footballer does illustrate that there is an issue inside the game. We will continue to evaluate ways in which we can support this and other important social issues.
Can the Club give us an update on the financial situation?
We are in a very fortunate position in that our shareholders do not demand a dividend return on their capital investment in the Club - shareholders choose Arsenal not purely for financial reasons and we recognise that. We have made a profit this year and all of that profit will be reinvested into the club. But this is not our end objective. Our objective is to make the members of our Club community feel proud to belong to and one of the most important aspects of this (although not the only aspect) is how we perform on the field - most of the money we make goes on just that. The rest is invested in projects and infrastructure which may not bear fruit for 5-10 years - we take a long-term approach, almost uniquely for a football club. We understand the frustration of some fans in that we don't spend £25 or £30 million on a player but this is how a good club can maintain its independence of ownership. We also have to state that most of what you may read in the media in relation to transfer activity is utter nonsense. We are very well financially positioned as a club and in terms of the future, our young talent stream and our financial stability mean we can look to the future with confidence.

Cisco ūmi: Now your TV is your "Best Friend"
Cisco ūmi: Now your TV is your "Best Friend"
On May 13, 2010, we launched the "$10,000 Cisco What If Your TV Could…?" video contest asking consumers "If your TV could do anything, what would you want it to do?"
We received over 175 creative video submissions ranging from your television cooking dinner for you to hologram TV's. A common video submission theme that we received was a television being a better communications vehicle.
Check out this video from last June of Cisco's SVP, Carlos Dominguez, at the Cisco Social Media Ragan Summit, talking about how he wishes he had telepresence in his home. Also, click here to hear the most recent video of Carlos talking to CNN's Ali Velshi about how Cisco may use communications tools in the future.
The $10,000 Cisco TV Contest winners were two brothers from Tennessee who rapped about how they wish their television could be their companion, their best friend.
Well, Nick and Zack, Cisco was listening and unveiled the latest consumer product to the market last week in San Francisco- Cisco ūmi™ telepresence (pronounced you-me).
Cisco ūmi allows you to now "get together" with your best friend and experience high definition video calling in the comfort of your very own living room. Whether you are 10 miles away or 5000 miles away, Cisco ūmi makes it easy to connect with your best friend.
So here's the million dollar question. If you had to choose one best friend to call, who would it be?
Also, check out this video interview with the winners of the $10,000 Cisco TV Contest to hear who they are and what they ended up doing with the grand prize money.

General News | 6th September 2005
Hussey takes Player of the Month
The 28-year-old smashed a career-best 232 not out against Warwickshire to pass 1,000 Championship runs for the season in just 16 innings - the second-fastest in the country behind his brother Mike.
Director of Cricket Mick Newell said: ?David has been an outstanding player for us in the two seasons he?s been here.
?The double hundred was the key to him winning the award. It was an outstanding performance in a month in which we played some pretty good cricket in the Championship.
?We were in a tricky situation when he came to the wicket but he worked well with the middle and lower order and created a decent lead for us from which we could win the game.?
Hussey celebrated his award by cracking 157 against Gloucestershire, his third hundred of the season and said: ?Mick had asked me to convert some of my half-centuries into three figures and I?ve been concentrating on turning that around.
?It?s worked out quite nicely since but personal milestones don?t really concern me. I?m here to help Notts win matches and hopefully the Championship as well.?
Hussey is pictured receiving his award from club sponsor PKF?s Paul Ellis.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes it is difficult to calculate who should be Manager of the Year because resources at Premier League clubs vary so much.
This season's individual honours will be handed out soon and, while Robin van Persie is a predictable choice for the player award, there are a number of contenders for the manager prize.
Wenger's opposite number on Monday, Roberto Martinez, has his backers after giving his club a chance of survival for a third consecutive season despite operating on a small budget and losing key players last summer.
Wenger admires Martinez but he does not know who deserves to be crowned as Manager of the Year.
"It is difficult for me to say that," he told Arsenal Player. "What is for sure is that the merit of a manager is very difficult to measure.
"Normally the best manager is the guy who takes the maximum potential out of the team and nobody ever managed to measure that.
"To compare the managers you should give every manager £100 million at the start of the season to build his team and see where you finish at the end of it. Then you would have a fair assessment of how good everybody is. Usually they just give it to the guy who wins the championship."
Watch the full interview with Wenger on Arsenal Player.

ECO-STRUCTURE recently spoke with Eli Nuttall, a master's of architecture candidate at Victoria University of Wellington and lead architect of Team New Zealand for the U.S. Department of Energy's 2011 Solar Decathlon.
How is your solar panelling unique?
The solar panels themselves are off-the-shelf polycrystalline PV panels; what makes our array unique is how the panels are housed. The canopy sitting above the roof creates visual interest, provides shading to the large windows below in summer, and houses our 6.3kW array. This means the panels can be kept cool—with room for air circulation around them—and the membrane roof below remains uncompromised.
What other sustainable features have you incorporated into your design?
An abundant and sustainable resource in New Zealand is sheep's wool. The First Light house is insulated with about 10 inches of sheep's wool from Kiwi company EcoInsulation. As well as being a local and renewable resource, it's healthy, non-allergic, safe to handle, gas- and fume-absorbent, low in conductivity, fire-resistant, environmentally friendly, and low in embodied energy. It's made from recycled off-cuts from wool carpets.
What was the inspiration of your design, and does it display any regional influences?
Our house is inspired by the traditional New Zealand holiday home, which we call a "bach" (pronounced "batch"). We wanted to bring the relaxed and social lifestyle of bach living and New Zealand to the First Light House. This inspiration informed every aspect of the design, from the natural New Zealand materials used (a number of woods and the wool insulation) to how the house is lived in with flexible social spaces. Landscape and the outdoors are very important to New Zealanders—the key feature of the design is the central space with decking running right through the house, plus large bifold doors and a skylight which brings the outdoors in.
How has the new affordability criteria affected the design of your house?
We were very happy to have the affordability contest as part of this year's Decathlon. It meant we really thought about every element of the house and it forced us to determine what the most important parts of the house were and what we could not do without. One of the more expensive elements of all the houses is the solar technology that goes into them. We wanted to reduce the energy used by the house before trying to produce energy to power the home. We optimized the passive elements of the house to make it as energy-efficient as possible and then sized our solar array accordingly.
What will happen to the house after the Solar Decathlon?
The First Light house has been sold to a Kiwi woman who plans to live in the house and retire to it. We're not sure exactly where it will end up, but the buyer is looking to buy land on the South Island of New Zealand. This means we'll pack it up all over again and ship it back home.

black rain, I posted a brief reply under your question in the Smith & Wesson section before I saw your post here.
Although the spring on the cylinder lock or stop seems OK it is almost certainly the cause of your problem. Under heavy recoil the cylinder stop is moving enough to allow the cylinder to unlock and roll backwards. It is a common problem in the more heavy recoiling M-29s but can happen with heavy loads in M-25s as well.
Ether replace the spring with a new one or take the old spring out and stretch it a bit to add strength and that should cure the problem.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by haribobo, Oct 3, 2011.
Who will medal here?
I think Brown will win this
1. Han Yan. 2. Jason Brown. 3. Artur Dmitriev.
Yan Han totally rocked last JGP. He's the one to beat.
1. Han YAN CHN
2. Jason BROWN USA
3. Artur DIMITRIEV RUS
Han Yan has it all. If he lands the 3A and quad then I don't think he will be beaten. Yan's jumps do have higher risk factor so if he makes a mistake than Brown. Dmitriev Jr can be inconsistent but should be good enough for bronze here.
Love both Yan and Brown. Yan has the harder jumps, but Brown does have much better programs and Yan is not known for consistency. It'll be an interesting competition to watch!
I hope Jason Brown will be on the podium
Hoping Jason Brown wins.
Brown does have the superior programs, But Yan does have the edge on jumps, and his programs are good enough that if he goes clean Brown wont be able to catch him, but if Yan messes up then Brown should be able to win, this should be a competition,Dmitriev is the best guess for bronze.
I think Han Yan's got this, but I'm not counting Jason out. Artur Dmitriev is the best bet for bronze. Yoji Tsuboi and June-Hyoung Lee could be possible spoilers.
Jason really needs to up his technical content to get to the next level. Everything else is already there. He needs to try and land his triple axel. Only way to know if you can land it is to try it.
Jason tried 3A at summer comp but it was downgraded. He is working on it, but I don't think he wants to risk the downgrade call (especially in a SP) yet. If he makes it to the JGPF that might be an excellent time to attempt it in both his programs.
Anyway, I think the medals will go:
1. Yan
2. Dmitriev
3. Brown (but I'll hope he does better!)
Congratulations to all mens medalist,
Han Yan for 1st
Jason Brown for 2nd
June-Hyoung Lee for 3rd.
good job all
June-Hyoung Lee won bronze - Dmitriev 4th but third in LP

Posted 26 January 2013 - 02:14 PM
I am sure that there is a thread on how it all works but i can't find it. So what do i do to sell something? I put up the add. Wait for someone to respond, come up with the price, and then they pay me through pay pal? Do i ship first or do they pay first? Also, what types of fees will have to be paid? I know there is the pay pal fee and shipping fee, how much will those usually cost?THanks in advance.
basically you put it up, wait for a buyer, you guys settle on a price, he pays you via paypal, (you never ship first!) then after you receive the payment you box up the item and take it to the post office with the buyer's address etc. pay the shipping fees unless the buyer is paying for the fees, and thats it. Also make sure to add tracking to the package, makes it easier for you and the buyer to know when it'll arrive. If the buyer wants faster shipping or insurance make sure to make it clear that they can get those things at their expense.

NOTEBOOK: Bench Proving to be a Real Strength for Phoenix
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - In Saturday's 68-59 Green Bay victory, Detroit's Ray McCallum scored 30 points, the most points scored by a Phoenix opponent since Feb. 11, 2008. McCallum's outburst was impressive, but it was also a positive for Green Bay, who allowed only two of his teammates to score after halftime and held all Titans not named McCallum to just 10-of-33 shooting for the game.
Only five Detroit players scored and only two reached double figures as the Phoenix defense allowed just 59 points, a season low for a Titans squad which ranked in the top-10 nationally in scoring (79.1).
The game highlighted Green Bay's depth, as eight Phoenix players scored and the hosts held a 25-2 advantage in bench points. Four Phoenix players reached double figures - sophomore Keifer Sykes (16), freshman Jordan Fouse (12) and juniors Kam Cerroni (11) and Alec Brown (10).
Cerroni became the fifth different reserve player to reach double figures in the past seven games by knocking down 3-of-4 three-pointers and a pair of free throws for 11 points. Sophomore Cole Stefan (Minnetonka, Minn.), averaging 10.7 points per game in the past three contests, scored all eight of his points in the second half.
The Phoenix reserves have scored at least 10 points in the past 10 games, including contributing 20 or more five times. In that stretch, senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) has reached double figures four times while Stefan (2 times), Cerroni (1), sophomore Greg Mays (1) and freshman Carrington Love (1) have each scored 10 or more off the bench.
Green Bay plays two road contests this week, visiting Cleveland State (Friday, 8 p.m.) and Youngstown State (Sunday, 1:05 p.m.). Friday night's contest against the Vikings will be televised live by ESPNU.

I'll admit, with the arrival of iOS 6 I was most looking forward to getting Siri. While iPhone users have had the talkative personal assistant for awhile now, us iPad users have been left in silence. Now that I have her, I've been asking all sorts of questions.
Most of which go unanswered… for good reasons.
For example, "Siri, make me a cup of coffee." doesn't get me anywhere. However, "Siri, when do the Detroit Lions play next?" works just fine.
In fact, just about any sport you can imagine is in Siri's lexicon. MLB, NFL, NCAA, WNBA and NHL (if the season ever starts, that is) are all here. Even soccer! You can ask for when the next game is, scores, standings and more. Heck, why even watch the game? Siri's got you covered!
Try it out today iOS 6 users!

MATT "Million Dollar Mateo" HAYES Mix Engineer | SupaHotBeats, YelaWolf, Wiz Khalifa, RyattFienix
EQ is a vital tool in any producer's arsenal, but knowing when and how to use it isn't always easy. Allow us to give you some guidance…
1. Try and avoid massive cuts and boosts unless they're absolutely necessary. Generally, an adjustment of just a few dB will be enough.
2. FX channels, particularly reverb, can often harbour untreated low rumble, even if you've cut most of the unwanted low-end from the tracks feeding to them. A mix can really benefit from applying high-pass filtering to its reverb channels.
3. Remember that while soloing a track can be helpful at times, it won't necessarily help you sit the instrument in a full mix.
4. If you add 10dB at 150Hz, 10dB at 1kHz and 10dB at3kHz, all you're really doing is boosting the volume of the track by 10dB. Just because the volume is louder, you might mistakenly perceive the track as 'better' – don't be seduced.
5. When it comes to the bottom end of a track, you're looking for clarity rather than just lots of 'woofing'. Be sure to apply a high-pass filter to instruments that have no real low-end content. Below 50Hz, guitars will just add cabinet rumble to the mix. Below 80Hz, rumble from the mic stand (or a tapping foot) is all you're likely to get from a vocal.
6. You may find yourself automatically adjusting EQ just because you feel you should – don't make changes unless your ears tell you they're needed. Many parts won't need any EQ at all.
7. While modern EQ plug-ins can work wonders, nothing beats having a high-quality original recording. Don't rush the process of getting a great tone to record – you'll save time in the long run.
8. It's always better to remove frequencies you don't want to hear rather than boost the 'good' ones. As we mentioned earlier, raising the volume of something can make it difficult to distinguish whether the end result is better or just louder.
9. If a certain frequency is bothering you and you want to get rid of it, set your EQ to a narrow Q setting and slowly sweep through the frequency range with a 5-10dB boost until the errant sound jumps out at you. Once you've identified it, change the boost to a cut.
10. Don't make EQ adjustments blindly – think about which part of the instrument's frequency range you're adjusting.
11. It's easy to get lost in a world of colourful plug-ins and EQ curves, so make sure you hit the bypass button every so often to hear whether or not your adjustments are really making a positive difference.
12. Although you may not be recording live drums, lots of drum ROMplers, like EZdrummer, authentically recreate the microphone spill that occurs when a real kit is miked up, so it's important to remember that EQ adjustment in the overheads will also affect the tone of the snare drum in particular.
13. Remember that even minor EQ adjustments can have quite an effect on how an instrument sits in the mix. Not only can it make it more or less audible, but it can also change the weight of the panning. So watch out!
14. Always try and listen to your mixes through as many different sets of speakers as you can. This way, you can triple check that your EQ adjustments don't just sound good on your studio monitors.
15. When it comes to adjusting upper frequencies, consideration should also be given to sibilance (unwanted 's' sounds) and noise, both of which can be dramatically increased if a high-frequency boost is coupled with compression.
16. Recording instruments near reflective surfaces will add unwanted frequencies to a sound. Be under no illusion: this is very difficult, if not impossible, to remove later on, regardless of the quality of your plug-ins, so don't take a chance – isolate your instrument from these reflections before you switch those mics on.
17. EQ modifications made during the mastering process should be very subtle. Stick to 1-3dB adjustments as much as possible. If you feel heavier changes are necessary, you might need to revisit other parts of your mix, as they might be the real cause of the problem.
18. When dealing with a crowded mix, it's sometimes a good idea to just focus on the key part of an instrument's sound. Cutting out everything apart from the main area in which an instrument is playing will leave room for other instruments elsewhere in the frequency range, while the one in question still cuts through.
19. Mastering the use of EQ isn't something that just happens overnight – it takes lots and lots of practice. Don't be afraid to experiment by mixing multiple versions of your tracks in order to discover how different EQ treatments affect the end result. Eventually, you'll instinctively know how to get the sound you want.

Star Wars: The Battle of Hoth 2013
February 16, 2013
A Viper probe has landed on the ice planet Hoth near the Echo Base. Darth Vader and his Imperial fleet, armed with Storm Troopers and a lumbering battalion of AT-ATs, have been alerted to Rebel's presence. Damaged shield generators have come online, although struggling to maintain power they should be able to withstand the airborne offensive, but the ground assault is bearing down. Massive numbers of the Empire's 501st Legion troops combined with AT-AT and AT-ST's are congregating near the outskirts of the Echo base, ready to strike the final blow to our Alliance. Outward command posts are vulnerable, and will be the first to fall. Hasty defenses are being constructed around the main power generators as they are likely to be the primary target- but these won't last long. Rebel forces must fortify the perimeter of the Echo base until a window opens for an escape.
Team Starting Points/Insertion Points:
Darth Vader's Imperial Army "THE EMPIRE" – Cemetery
Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance "THE REBELS" – Berm
Mission 1
"Fortification of the Echo Base"
MAP – Entire Field
The Rebel Alliance is being overrun; retreat is the only option. Luke's only hope for survival is to rearm the Rebel Alliance and clutch to the last of their defenses. Down to the last of their munitions, the Rebel force must venture into the highlands of Hoth and locate a cache of supplies. There are 15 ammunition crates available, 5 jugs of gasoline. The rebels must find 15 ammo boxes on field and return to their base before they fall into the hands of Lord Vader's Imperial forces.
Ammo cases/ gasoline jugs = 200 points each
Base Flags = 500 points each
Mission 2
"Shield Generator Lockdown and the AT-AT Offensive."
MAP – Field 2
Each team will have 1 three man special forces unit starting as follows:
The Empire – Tower 2
The Rebels – Tower 5
The Rebel Alliance, in an effort to protect the shield generators of the Echo base, must obliterate the AT-AT charge by disabling the legs of each AT-AT with rope. A section of rope will be located on Towers #1, 2, and 3 (the AT-ATs), and that rope, when wrapped completely around the legs of the tower, will bring down the AT-AT and weaken the Imperial charge. For each AT-AT to be considered disabled, a complete loop must be obtained. Disabled AT-ATs/ towers cannot be made functional again, but may still be used for cover after they have fallen. Each AT-AT/tower is worth 1000 points.
The Central Flag station on field 2 is "The Echo Base Shield Generator."
This flag is worth 250 points
Red Flag- Rebel Alliance
Blue Flag – Darth Vader's Imperial Empire
In this mission YODA will be hidden on the field. YODA will allow the holder to 'USE THE FORCE' to perform one of three actions.
- Use as a sniper to eliminate 1 player
- Transport to anywhere on the field once
- Use as a medic to cure one person

Q) I read that Arsenal had 11 different nationalities in the team against Hamburg last week, which was a first for the Champions League. But has it ever happened previously in any other competition? - Dave Greaves, Islington
A) Yes, it occurred last season when Arsenal's starting line-up for the Premier League game at Newcastle on December 10, 2005, contained 11 different nationalities. The team was:
Jens Lehmann (Germany), Kolo Toure (Ivory Coast), Lauren (Cameroon), Sol Campbell (England), Philippe Senderos (Switzerland), Freddie Ljungberg (Sweden), Cesc Fabregas (Spain), Gilberto (Brazil), Alexander Hleb (Belarus), Robin van Persie (Holland), Thierry Henry (France).
When Kolo Toure was substituted against Hamburg last week, and until Mathieu Flamini and Julio Baptista came on in the second-half, Arsenal were represented by 11 different nationalities again. The Arsenal line-up was as follows:
Jens Lehmann (Germany), Emmanuel Eboue (Ivory Coast), Justin Hoyte (England), William Gallas (France), Johan Djourou (Switzerland), Alexander Hleb (Belarus), Cesc Fabregas (Spain), Gilberto (Brazil), Tomas Rosicky (Czech Republic), Robin van Persie (Holland), Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo).
In addition there was a Swede (Freddie Ljungberg) and a Cameroonian (Alex Song) on the bench that night.
Q) For my records, could you supply the final Arsenal playing records for Dennis Bergkamp, Sol Campbell and Robert Pires, as they do not appear in this season's handbook. - Fred Clarke, Hendon
A) Certainly Fred. Robert Pires finished his Arsenal career 16 goals shy of a century for the Club, from 284 matches. The breakdown is as follows. (goals in brackets, + = substitute appearances).
Robert Pires 2005/06
League 23+10 (7)
FA Cup 1 (2)
Europe 7+5 (2)
League Cup +1
Community Shield 1
Total 32+16 (11)
Robert Pires Career
League 159+30 (62)
FA Cup 22+6 (10)
Europe 55+8 (11)
League Cup 1+1 (1)
Community Shield 1+1
Total 238+46 (84)
Dennis Bergkamp scored 120 goals in 11 seasons at Highbury, making 523 appearances. The details are as follows.
Dennis Bergkamp 2005/06
League 8+16 (2)
FA Cup 1
Europe 1+3 (1)
League Cup 1
Community Shield 1
Total 12+19 (3)

FA Cup 34+5 (14)
Europe 37+11 (11)
League Cup 16(8)
Community Shield 5
Total 345+78 (120)
Finally, Sol Campbell left the Club after 199 games and 11 goals.
Sol Campbell 2005/06
League 20 (2)
FA Cup 1
Europe 6 (1)
League Cup 2
Community Shield 0
Total 29 (3)
Sol Campbell Career
League 133+2 (8)
FA Cup 19 (2)
Europe 39 (1)
League Cup 2
Community Shield 2
Total 197+2 (11)
Q) I think Emirates Stadium is stunning, however I am slightly disappointed with the exposed concrete which runs around the bottom of each tier on the interior of the stadium. Are there any plans to cover/decorate this? - Various correspondents.
A) The Club can confirm that these areas will be covered in due course, and possible solutions are being examined presently. No more details are available at the moment, but as soon as a decision has been made we will bring you more news.
Prize Question
Q) I know that all of Emmanuel Adebayor's goals for Arsenal have come in victories for us, but it also seems to me that Arsenal always win when Robin van Persie scores too. Is this right? - Greg Schofield, Bucks
A) You are nearly right Greg. Robin van Persie has scored 22 goals for Arsenal, in 19 different games, and the Gunners have never lost when he's found the net - winning 18 and drawing just one. That was a 2-2 home draw with Southampton back in October 2004, so the last 17 games in which he's scored, Arsenal have won.
As you point out, Arsenal have won all five of the games Emmanuel Adebayor has scored in. In fact, they have won all five games without conceding. Against Aston Villa, Charlton, Fulham and Birmingham last season, and Manchester United last week.
The Q and A page is an occasional series which will continue to run in the matchday programme throughout this season. If you have an Arsenal-related question you want answered, then write to us at: Q and A, Arsenal Programme, Highbury House, 75 Drayton Park, London, N5 1BU. Or you can email us at email@example.com, writing 'Q and A' in the subject box.
If your question is chosen as our Prize Question, you will win a copy of the excellent The Story of Arsenal in N5 by Jon Spurling.
