One of our customers is deploying many Rails sites onto EC2 - more precisely, many instances of virtually the same site. Basically it has a Rails application and tweaks it for each individual site it sets up. EC2 is a wonderful deployment platform for this type of business because there is little friction in adding customers, since it takes just one button press to get more servers.
The overall architecture concept we're using for this customer is to build a number of app+database clusters and to load multiple sites onto each one. The number of sites per cluster can be adjusted such that the database portion of each cluster is loaded up optimally, and it's designed such that sites can be moved around easily, for example to offload a cluster that may have become too heavily loaded as some of the sites on it have grown.
In the end, the architecture boils down to having two instances running a MySQL master/slave setup managed by our Manager for MySQL plus two instances running load balancers and Rails/Mongrel as redundant app servers. This makes for a fully redundant cluster on which a number of sites can be hosted. It is also easy to add a few more EC2 instances running Rails depending on the Rails vs. MySQL workload balance.
Each site on a cluster has its own logical database (i.e. what MySQL calls a "database"). This makes it easy to back up and restore a site individually, and most importantly, to move a site to another cluster in order to free up resources on the original one. The sites on a cluster can also share the app servers as long as there is no HTTPS involved. The reason for this caveat is that each Amazon EC2 instance has only a single IP address, and it is not possible to do "virtual hosting" with HTTPS sites. With HTTP all the www.site1.com, www.site2.com, etc. DNS entries point to the same two load balancing instances (using round-robin DNS for failover purposes) and the load balancer (or front-end Apache, if used) figures out which site the user is visiting based on the "host" header included in every HTTP 1.1 request.
What's really nice about these four- to six-machine clusters is that they're powerful yet simple. There's no "infinitely scalable" magic under the hood that breaks at the worst moments. No, it's a plain setup that anyone with a bit of experience can understand. The magic is that it's easy to set these clusters up with Amazon EC2 plus RightScale so you can really take advantage of the same horizontal scaling as the big guys (Google, Yahoo!, etc.).
One of the interesting design decisions with all this is how to set up DNS. For example, the app for site1 needs to locate the IP address of the database it's supposed to talk to. We use DNS as follows:
- the app connects to db-master.site1.com
- db-master.site1.com resolves to a CNAME for db-master-cluster3.company.com
- db-master-cluster3.company.com resolves to the IP address of the instance that currently hosts the master
- DNS for db-master-cluster3.company.com is set-up with a low TTL (we use 75 secs) and supports dynamic updates
- if the DB master crashes or is otherwise replaced the db-master-cluster3.company.com DNS entry is automatically updated by the RightScale MySQL manager, which switches all the sites hosted by that cluster over with one stroke
- if site1 is moved to different cluster, then the CNAME has to be updated to point to the correct cluster DB
For the websites themselves its also nice to use CNAMEs:
- www.site1.com points to www-cluster3.company.com
- www-cluster3.company.com resolves to the IP addresses of all the load balancer instances
- if a load balancer instance is restarted, the www-cluster3.company.com entry is dynamically updated
- if the site is moved to different cluster, the CNAME needs to be updated
Wow, it's amazing all this is actually possible and not just a dream! Amazon EC2 enables it and RightScale makes it possible to manage without an army of sysadmins running around and tweaking servers all the time.

Dan Croak Do you have one of your pretty graphics to go along with this setup? For all us visual learners out there… :)
Sushi A script/tutorial/template like "rails-on-ec2-standard" post will be of great help.
Thorsten Dan – good suggestion, I'll pull out my brushes and paints… Sushi – I fear this is all still a little too new to condense into a tutorial. It's one thing to set everything up for one site, but another story altogether to figure out a solution that covers many different sites. What is needed is a design pattern that can be used in many slightly different situations and so it needs to be adaptable while also keeping the core that makes it tick constant. We're not quite there yet.

You can use these. We don't have a boat yet but we use this in our house and they work very well.

How is a good way to store them so when healing, or in seas whatever they do not bang around?
In some boats I see the separators, like the one I drew in the pic.
Any place I can buy these, I have not found them. I could make them I suppose, any drawings?
Any ideas?
Corelle is ok. I still have some. But it is slicker than crap and boats rock and heel. We still have a few pieces left that have not broken! But we have kids!!! You guys without kids and on multihulls do not live in the real world (snicker!!!). HEHE!
I have actually become a fan of the marine plates and bowls as a liveaboard. You will never eat on them heeled over at 45 degrees, but you will find that your table is "slick", your cabinets can be slick, and the cockpit table (where we eat a lot) is slick. THere are of course work arounds, like the non-skid I mentioned, but maybe you and your wife can splurge on some of the other stuff for Christmas? BTW, I also got the "marine" cups... but they suck (to me). Feels like drinking coffe out of a plastic mug! I don't care if they are slick or not, I refuse to drink coffee out of a plastic mug!!!
PS One negative of the marine plates is that over time they seem to lose their ability to work in the microwave (the plates get hot and not the food). At least ours have. Corelle is nice for that. We also keep paper plates for warming stuff up.... but that was not the original questions I guess.
|Who needs non-skid plates??? That's only a problem if you heel... Oh, yeah, those pesky leadmines do...

We stuff a sponge between the cutting mats and the cross bar when we're underway, which keeps it from thumping fore and aft.
If you want to make them non-skid, run a bead of silicone caulk around the bottom of the plate, then set the plate (bottom side down) on a piece of wax paper. Let it dry, and voila you've got a non-skid plate.
|The thin foam that some electronics are wrapped in is a good separator layer for dishes. Doesn't rot, doesn't absorb moisture and doesn't feed cockroaches.
It's all going to depend on what your galley storage space allows. I like flat storage for plates best. Then you can stack one plate on top of another (you can put a thin pice of bubble wrap in between for shock absorbers if you need) and you can front the space/locker/box with a covering piece of wood shaped just like in your drawing. You can make another space like that for your bowls. The "U" type opening on the cover will allow you to remove a plate or bowl. Problem is we've never lived on a boat with enough galley space to provide that luxury.
When we bought Yofy she had a rack simular to what T37Chef posted. Its a nice rack, but it stuck way out into our galley and wouldn't hold our bowls. Manny converted a locker by creating a hinged door that flips down to access the plates and bowls. The bowls lie flat, but the plates stand on their edges. The way we have so far found to do this is by using a portion of a plate rack that we cut off of a dish drainer. Its definetly NOT ideal and we are still brainstorming for a better solution. I curse every time I have to access the plates from that locker.
We have ceramic plates and don't regret them one bit. But I would never use cardboard as anti shock absorber material. Cardboard is serious bait for cockroaches!!
You should learn to count better... at least two answer the question... mine at #11 and post #5

You can easily make up separators by drilling holes in two boards (one to go above the dishes, the other below them) and putting thin wood or plastic dowel rods in between the holes. Very little labor and voila, a custom dish rack where they can only rattle a litttle bit between the dowels, with no stacking.
"While it's true, that pyroceram is durable and micro-wavable when this stuff does break it shatters, almost explodes into a million pieces of very sharp chards." I'll vouch for that. If you drop Corelle (the US trademark for that stuff) exactly the wrong way you'll swear a bomb went off. Although Corning used to replace the piece if you sent it back to them. Or sent most of it back to them.
Personally I think serrated knives are best for hacking through things, I've never met a serrated knife that worked on anything I'd want to eat, any better than a straight knife with a well-kept edge on it. Never met a serrated knife that could part a line any better either. Great for sawing wood though.
Only a year? Try 45 years for ours.

I couldn't find anything about knives on Corelle's use and care section of their website for the vitrelle/glass version.
As for answering the original question, we keep the non-skid placemats sort of wraped around them and the cabnets have doors. We have a cat and don't lean much, but we can snap very quickly side-to-side. I can't imagine them chipping in a cabnet, but they could be noisy without padding. We've stored them on edge for many years on one boat - it's safe if there is something soft on the bottom - but I didn't like it as well as flat. They bang around if a few are out.
|We use the non skid rubber-like sheets to pad each dish and the bottom of the rack. We use cheap china and haven't broken one yet.

I strongly believe we need to take the time, or make the time to introduce and help teach young people about our sport. I wasn't the one who introduced this young man to the sport, but I hope that I can play a large roll in teaching him what it means to be a duck hunter. He's known on DHC as T-MAN, he's a good kid and smart, he's also a good shot, well except for last weekend. I asked what was wrong; he said the humidity was messing up his shooting,….. ya right. lol Anyway here's a pic of this years newest young gun.
I would like to encourage anyone to take a young person and introduce them to our sport. You will find it fun and fulfilling.
I'd like to hear from anyone out there that is thinking about helping further the sport of duck hunting or have already started reproducing the next generation of duck hunters. Post your stories and pics…. thanks

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a day trip or short holiday that does not involve staying away from home overnight
'Many of us, including myself (a college student) just can't afford to fly off somewhere for a week, even if I have all summer to do it. Instead of spending lots of dough on far-away travel, my friends and I have decided to try and fill our summer with daycations, vacations lasting only a day.'tripcrazed (blog) 12th July 2009
'"Lodging revenue was twice what it is now," he said, explaining that the center was often able to turn daycationers into overnight guests.'The Watch 14th July 2010
'We have a whole day off, we've scraped together gas money, and so we are daycationing in Plymouth, Mass., a historic town that sprang up when the Pilgrims set foot on that famous rock …'Hartford Courant 5th June 2008
When the sun is finally shining (and, if you live in the UK, when it frequently isn't!) we all love the opportunity to 'get away from it all' – whether it's walking alone in remote countryside, or toasting our bodies on a crowded beach. Yes, being on holiday is great fun but … don't you just sometimes wish you could swap the lumpy mattress in your hotel room for the glorious comfort of your own, dear, bed? And wouldn't you prefer to cook in your own kitchen rather than on a camping stove, or have access to your own DVD collection rather than those randomly deposited films sitting in the cupboard at the holiday cottage? If you've ever been caught up in that tug-of-war between home comforts and the opportunity to explore somewhere different, then the solution might lie in the newly coined term daycation.
after years of revelling in the opportunities afforded by shrinking journey times and cheaper travel, we've come full circle and plugged back in to the advantages of having fun closer to home
The word daycation basically refers to a 'day out', a holiday day where you drive off somewhere to relax and enjoy yourself in whatever way you fancy, but you only travel a distance which comfortably allows you to return home to your own bed. Of course the concept is nothing new, dating as far back as the early days of railway travel, and very popular among our Victorian predecessors. It seems however that in the 21st century, after years of revelling in the opportunities afforded by shrinking journey times and cheaper travel, we've come full circle and plugged back in to the advantages of having fun closer to home.
The word daycation is therefore simply a contemporary reference to the 'day trip', and day trippers are correspondingly dubbed daycationers. The chief reason behind this sudden revitalized interest in taking days out is obvious, people simply haven't got the spare cash to do anything else. In the aftermath of the economic crisis in 2008, the trend has been to shelve the traditional holiday in foreign parts and find cheaper ways of taking a break.
The word daycation has been around for the last couple of years or so, popping up in the context of observations on the recent decline in taking conventional week or two-week-long holidays. The same trend also recently spawned the related term staycation (a holiday based from home), though the two words are not entirely synonymous: a daycation refers specifically to a day out, whereas a staycation may incorporate days at home, resting and sitting in the garden, etc. Both words are of course new blends based on the word vacation, and, following its usage in American English, may be used as both nouns and intransitive verbs. Other recent coinages on the same theme include greycation – a holiday which includes grandparents who conveniently share the costs involved, and the tongue-in-cheek naycation – time away from work which doesn't involve travelling or spending money on leisure activities (nay is an old-fashioned word meaning 'no' or 'not').

What's been your experience with duct tape exposed to the elements for a year?
My observations have shown it to be pretty unimpressive.
If you build hives out of the soft Styrofoam the bees are going to chew it up and it will turn into a White snowy powder, I speak from my own experience.
Also the bees like to put propolis there and when you scrape it of the foam will follow.
If you make a thin wooden liner inside the box of plywood or thin Wood it will bee more stable and last.
You might try using Duck tape instead of Duct tape.
I got mine at Ace Hardware here in town.http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1273392Hope this helps
DucK vs Duct. It's all the same stuff and it's all worthless for a bee hive.
I gotta agree with Moots. Don't be fooled by DucK vs Duct. It's all the same stuff...
Don't over think this one, use what's DESIGNED for gluing foam to foam; namely Polyurethane glue.
If you don't paint a Styrofoam hive, the suns UVs rays will disintegrate away 3 to 5mm of foam a year. ... There is also the aesthetics of using duct tape. It just doesn't look very professional.

Michigan Corporate Relations Network Announces RFP for Small Company Innovation Program
The Michigan Corporate Relations Network (MCRN) is soliciting proposals for its Small Company Innovation Program (SCIP). The SCIP will provide cost-sharing grants to foster collaboration between MCRN universities and small-to medium-size companies on research projects for new commercial products or services.
The six universities that make up MCRN are Wayne State University, the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Michigan Technological University, University of Michigan-Dearborn, and Western Michigan University. Each member university maintains an office that connects businesses to university resources and faculty that can assist research needs. Companies interested in applying for the SCIP will be paired with the appropriate faculty principal investigator (PI) to outline a project and submit a proposal.
The resulting collaboration will give small companies the opportunity to meet research needs that may not otherwise be affordable. The SCIP will also stimulate talent retention in Michigan by creating relationships between small companies and university graduate student researchers.
Individual SCIP projects are funded at $20,000 to $40,000 and require one-to-one matching funds from the sponsoring company. MCRN member universities will supply funds to cover all their indirect costs. Additional information is available at www.michigancrn.org/scip. The deadline to submit a proposal is May 1, 2012.

I normally buy from Mannlake. Typically they are good but they recently retooled and the last batch I got were not the greatest. I'm not sure if I will give them another go at it or not. The defects didn't affect the end product at all.
I use Dadants.....Commercial,..Never had a bad one yet! I put about 20 together yesterday...I split the first one....Then I said,"Screw it..Im not gonna use nails this time. I'll just use glue and see what happens!".Whattaya think?..Think they'll hold up?your friend,john
Yeah, qa!!!My thumb has a black spot from mashing it against the hammer :-D..With my lousy eyes and lousy aim i sometimes get more than the nail!..THATS when i decided to just use glue, not just because i split the frame!...I just bought nails a couple hours ago.

Six inches of snow expected in Idaho, September 2015 third most rainfall in Los Angeles since 1870s-SF Gate
What Is the Antarctic Volcanoes Project?
It's too bad the current brouhaha about CO2 is so narrowly focused. So what if a higher concentration in the atmosphere raises global average temps? If higher temps were accompanied by increased atmospheric moisture, it would even out around the world and turn it into a paradise planet, greening the deserts so that the teeming billions could be fed. Cold temperatures are inimical to life, not a goal of life.
Too bad, it might take a lot more CO2 than you think to really change the global weather. Why do they call CO2 greenhouse gas? Because plants breathe it, and they pump it into greenhouses to help them grow and thrive. Polar regions and deserts look good in postcards, but who wants to live there. Meanwhile global pop. is zooming, so obviously the real answer is to pump more CO2 and water vapor into the atmosphere to turn the Earth into a greenhouse, turning deserts both hot and cold into lush green crop-growing regions like 35 million years ago when the avg. global temp was 88F and the CO2 level was 1K parts per million (vs. 390 PPM today). So what if we lose some desert polar regions and even some yummy coastline, the adjustments will be inconvenient but temporary, but I prefer shirt-sleeve weather to Frosty the Snowman. How many arctic animals can't adapt to a warmer climate? What animal needs to live in ice and snow and wouldn't like a vacation to Tahiti? They can lose the fat, hair or feathers.
The real question is can we make and keep the global CO2/H20 levels high enough, and for how long? Sooner or later mass global starvation will become unstoppable if world pop. keeps climbing, and this is the way to forestall it, if we act soon enough. Don't give me them Malthusian objections, give me some CO2/H20 solutions. I like a paradise Earth in the possibility window.
So, while the world is debating the horrors, extent or lack thereof of global warming caused by CO2, let's engineer the CO2/H20 solution to making the Earth a warm temperate planet from pole to pole with no deserts or ice wastelands, allowing vastly more food to be grown and turning poor nations rich. I DON'T mean a planet with wild swings between super-hot summers and super-cold winters, but one that is warmer than now everywhere, but moister and greener, with a giant network of plantlife helping to avoid extremes. Since CO2 and water vapor are the keys, and the paltry amounts in the atmosphere need to be increased as soon as possible to turn deserts green and get the warming process off to a good start, but the new levels have to be maintained permanently, I'm looking to remote Antarctica (which is really a sea) as the most promising source for unlimited CO2 and water vapor generation, given that noxious emissions (sulfur dioxide, etc.) can be controlled.
This blog is for posting news on the world climate situation, scientific and political, along with my own articles. I'm sure it will start out with hardly any interest or followers, but I'm hoping that it will attract the smartest people eventually and in the end I hope for a global consensus that if it can be done it must be done.
So what is the Antarctic Volcanoes Project? My working idea is that an international effort to reactivate as many volcanoes in Antarctica as possible in an ideal location for distributing the CO2/H20 will produce the best and most cost-effective results. Sorry, one-worlders, it won't give you a license to override and control any country's economy, but if your country is suffering from lack of food you will be too busy expanding farming to care. Hence until I think of or hear about a better way to increase world CO2/H20 levels, this is my pet project. If you are a scientist, please climb aboard my AVP Express and let's make it happen.
It Would Be Funny If It Were's So Sad
It would be funny it weren't so sad, but when the scientists say "greenhouse gas" they are using a malaprop. It should be greenhouse GLASS, because that's why a greenhouse stays warm, by glass walls stopping convection of air and trapping heat. Yes, CO2 is pumped into greenhouses, but not for heating purposes, only to help plants BREATHE. So the whole sucker's game of "greenhouse gas" must truly be for the purpose of stopping more vegetation from growing and feeding the teeming billions. Is that their true goal?

I think the photo speaks for itself
I think the photo speaks for itself
lol! HECK YA....now if she would just do something about those thumbs of hers...
megan fox does nothing for me. i prefer girls who have a better understanding of which way their door swings, if you get me. and i bet if you asked her what characters are on her shirt she'd tell you: PC30, Dark Vader, Hand Solo, and Luke Skywalker with his lightsaver.
"Toe-Thumb"... nuff said
But you and I both know, she can fix the toe-thumb...lol
And well ya know....Hillary Swank does it for a lot of people, but not for me.
But Megan Fox on the other hand does....her and Amber Heard....ohhhhhhh man
I dig her no matter what her thumbs do, or look like. But you are talking about a guy who has small hands, lives in a town where women wouldn't be caught dead with a Star Wars shirt on, who also cant' decide which way to go, so color me desperado LOL!
"Yes Meggy"
"Why does Dark Vader like Natalie and he tries to hit Ewan with his lightsaver?"
"Oh honey bun, here, let me hold your toe thumb in my small hands and splain to you what happen during the frequels..."

That, is classic
I'm shallow I guess. The "toe thumb" thing ... oof Unfortunately, that might make me as shallow as her But she is a gorgeous girl for sure.
Hilary Swank ? I never understood that one. There are some of those gals that I can't imagine in a million years "How" they got the "goddess" billing. Maybe it's all about types - to each his own. I could rattle off a medley of celebs like that.
No, I'm not gay. "Not that there's anything wrong with that"
Yvonne Strahovski - Nuff said
the sad thing is i heard she's really a trekkie...
even with all her hotness, i don't think i could watch jennifer's body again. what a HORRIBLE movie!!!
Even with all her hotness I dont wanna watch TRANSFORMERS 2 AGAIN!! lol
She is pretty, but her complete lack of a brain and the toe thumbs make her unappealing to me.
Your right on that one Fox, I'd take sweet and cute and brains over hotsicles anyday.
As my best friend would say " I'd drink her bath tub water." LOL
for some reason I think I know what that line is...and THAT is why I say Transformers 2....atleast Jennifers Body has more scantily clad Megan Fox in it that EITHER of the Transformers movies LOL
She has Thumbs ?
The ones of you who says she does nothing for you; you're awesome! Just means that there are clever guys out there who doesn't go for the stupid, hot and oh-so-fake ones.
She was okay in the first Transformers-movie. Then came Transformers 2 and her new lips... God, no. I can't stand her. Or Keira Knightley. Haters be hatin'.
Lol, I agree. Oh, how proud I am to be a real female geek who knows my stuff. You sure she would even get Jedi correctly?
well, she might call him a vulcan knight

Tell me you've had this problem. You wake up and stand in your closet, staring at all the different outfits to choose from and wondering which one is going to make just the right impression for whatever you have going on that day. Maybe you want to look authoritative and put-together for a client, be the cool parent to your kids' friends, or be sexy to catch the attention of your objective's affection. Whatever the occasion, sometimes the wealth of options can be overwhelming and you end up panicking and trying to do too much or too little. And the next thing you know, that dream combo you had in your mind's eye is out the window.

The renowned Music application, found on all iOS 5 iDevices, is an awesome way to listen to all of your favorite music. Being that it's already great, it's challenging to think of ways to improve it. With a rather new jailbreak tweak dubbed MusicGestures by iOS developer Chris Kant, it's possible to make that music experience even better.
MusicGestures gets all of its glory by making the Music application a gesture-based Music player. You still have the option to use the buttons if you prefer to, although with this tweak you can perform gestures such as swiping, pinching, or tapping. Not only does it work in the main view of the Music application (front album cover), but it also works in back album cover view. If you aren't sure what that means, the diagram below shows the distinction between both views:
After installing MusicGestures, you will find a straightforward, but extensive preferences section for it in the Settings application. With these preferences, you can assign the different gestures with their own actions. There are more gestures than there are actions, so you will not use every gesture, however you will probably use every action. Additionally, each of these gestures and actions gets assigned twice – once for the front album cover view and once for the back album cover view. You can mix and match them however you want to, and you can assign each action more than once if you like.
The gestures you can use:
- swipe up
- swipe down
- swipe left
- swipe right
- single tap
- double tap
- triple tap
- pinch
The actions you can assign to each gesture:
- disabled (do nothing)
- previous track
- next track
- play or pause
- flip to back album cover view
- exit now playing
- toggle information overlay
While I would personally rather use the buttons that Apple has etched into the Music application's interface, these gesture-based controls are pretty fun to use. This implementation of iPod controls would be best suited for the Music application if it were a full-screen application and the buttons were not already there and operational. These controls do not work on the lock screen when you are playing a song, and they only work with the Apple Music application and with no other kind of music player for iOS.
MusicGestures works with iOS 4 and iOS 5 and runs on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It is an open source project with its source code available here.
Name: MusicGestures
Price: FREE
Version: 1.1

|Topic Review (Newest First)
well i went to whistler for opening weekend a few weeks ago
i took my rossignol exprience ......first time riding it as it is 168 and i believe my burton custom flying v is about 156?
wow what a difference between the boards
i took advice for riding the flats and the things that were said here that i took with me the most is
1 someone said....... you can't catch and edge when you are on an edge
2 micro carves to slow down
i applied these two principals and possible with the new board.....made one hell of a difference
i only bailed once.......lol in comparison to always bailing
overall i had a great time and i truely appreciate the advice as i believe it helped me out alot!
It can be very difficult as a beginner to throw in quick, efficient turns on a narrow track.
Staying on a single edge can also be tricky as the natural camber in the board will bring you towards one side or other of the cat track.
Just trying to stay flat is also very problematic as described above and riding on a very low edge angle can be very difficult to master as a beginner.
To keep the board going straight and true while also avoiding the dreaded edge catch, I find it's good to pick an edge and focus on digging that edge in with your back foot while keeping the board flat with your front foot. This will ensure you avoid drifting towards the side and also prevents you catching an unwanted edge. I also find this easier on your leg muscles so there is much less burn, you can just relax and let the board ride.
here is how I handled this last year.
Say the track is only 15' wide. Very hard for a new guy following some of these suggestions to turn left turn right. Carve, dynamic - whatever. Either we dont have the muscle knowledge, the stamina, or the mental fortitude to successfully complete this task.
I would recommend that you do as someone suggested, and hold an edge. You will favor the edge that keeps you in the middle of the slope the easiest, avoiding slowly going off the edge of the slope.
Once you feel you are picking up too much speed, thats when you do your almost stop turn up opposite of the trail slope, then immediately correct it back again to 'straight' holding that edge once more. This is an excercise to build up those leg muscles for stamina also.
The common thing for me was to hold onto my toe edge, which kept me from falling off the edge of the trail as it sloped on my heel side. I would then feel I was picking up too much speed or catching up with zig zagging skiers so I would have to slow down. To do this, I would kickout my back foot with an almost backwards stop , then straighten it out again holing my toe edge.
It wasnt until I was much better that I felt comfortable turning TOWARD the slope of the hill. That was almost always disastrous for me.
So in short, you are riding an edge opposite of the slope of the trail (im not talking about the fall line), then every so often do a speed check by almost stopping, then riding that edge again.
Dont try to turn back and forth, especially on a trail that isn't level and slopes down the mountain. Unless you have some speed, this is where most people say "well why can I turn toward the fall line on my heel side on the slpoe, but on the bunny trail I cannot not"
The answer is simple. centrifugal force. ( I think)

i had no idea that was you lol as i've seen many of your vids on youtube.
i can do what you suggested....... now imagine this though
on a cat track..... carving like that when there are a shit load of skiers going straight..... you end up cutting all of them off.......... so instead of taking up the whole cat track one has to take up maybe 4 feet without cutting off everyone else.
i'll also look into micro carving as well
cool of you to offer help
you guys rock here!

Btw OP, good practice is to skate/ride 1 footy down the bunny hills whenever possible. Though if you are screaming flat, i.e., bombing down a run...you go low, more fore/aft centered and ride loose in the knees and sucking them up.

If you cant keep yourself truly flat based and pointed straight down hill then just switch back and forth between heel and toe edge while still staying pointed down hill.
also this. Being able to ride flat based and scream down a run just takes some refined muscle memory so you know how to react to the slightest little twitch and movement that the board makes that would other wise wipe you out. I mean these movements are such that if you actually thought about doing them then you would probably over do them and throw yourself off. Staying low and centered is the best way to ride flat base. You also can put a bit more weight on your back foot for more control.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by round, Apr 6, 2010.
Yea, I noticed Jayson Werth is heating up....batting .400 over the last 3 days...
I'm pretty sure the Phillies are trading him before the deadline :p Darth---> <---Bill Laimbeer
May as well stick the proverbial fork in my team. I had nobody on the DL last Sunday when I set my lineup. Now I have four (4) freakin guys on the DL. All were in my lineup, too. Oh well, my team was pretty sorry anyhow!
I seen you getting beat on by Jammer, and I thought it was just cruel.
Jammer beat Slugenski's 10-0 a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes he gets hot....and other teams, well, he's just Jammer....
My team is absolutely [STRIKE]Darth Tater[/STRIKE] pathetic this year. I don't care if your entire rostre is on the DL, I'll take a win any way I can get it at this point!
You were kicking my but, irregardless. Mauer was a maniac on Monday. I wasn't using it as an excuse. Just lamenting my bad luck/bad picks. Well done walrus hunter.
Finally playing league doormat Jammer, on the cusp of moving into the last playoff position All of my pitchers (save one closer) get shelled. The strongest part of my team, decimated.
Wow Rascoe, I [sarcasm]really feel for you[/sarcasm] man. I hope everything works out for you.
I don't know what in the hell I am doing. Thought I would learn more as I go on but its not working out that way. Looks like my team is hanging in there anyway.
Which team are you?
I would just like to point out that I am no longer in last place! I needed to point it out quickly, since I'm playing the #1 team this week and will be in last place again next week.
With only 1 loss and a .625 winning percentage over the last 8 weeks, the Laim Little Leaguers have catapulted from the bottom of the standings to a current 3rd place position. With only 3 weeks remaining, it appears Laim's team is poised to defend its title. Congrats to all of the other teams for trying to make things interesting.
Darth, nice pick up of Anibal Sanchez. I really wanted him, but I couldn't figure out who to drop. Your team still sucks, but nice move irregardless.
I have no idea who he is because I just picked him up because I lost another guy to the DL. He will suck now that I got him. Poor guy.
Does draft order matter? Well, in week #1, 5 out of the 6 winners drafted in the top 6 spots. The only team that didn't win was the team that drafted 4th, Can'tWinForLosing, which perhaps lived up to its team name. The team that drafted 11th, TheRunner-ups, was the only team not drafting in the top half that pulled out a week #1 victory. Whether this was a fluke or will continue to hold true to form remains to be seen....
drinking early today again? think you meant to post in the FOOTBALL thread not the BASEBALL thread :P I know losing as bad as you did last week and being out of the playoffs really must have hurt.
LOL. Yea, my baseball team completely laid an egg last week. It was very strange because my entire team was on a roll heading into the playoffs. I guess I had them peaking too early. Call me a clueless coach. Call me a drunk. Just don't call me Darth.
heck I wouldn't call Darth Darth...
Separate names with a comma.

Mozy Customers on US Airways Flight 1549
USA Today Personal Technology Columnist Ed Baig published a story of two passengers on US Airways flight 1549 that landed in the Hudson River earlier this year. While one passenger was using Mozy online backup and able to recover his data, another wished he was using Mozy:
"Few people suffer data loss in quite as harrowing a fashion as Bill Wiley. He was a second row passenger on the plane that was famously forced to make an emergency landing on the Hudson River. The passengers all survived the crash, of course. But Wiley still hasn't recovered the two computers he had on board, containing about 250 gigabytes of data from his employer Computer Associates.
Wiley had been good about backing up files on the two computers by sharing the contents of one hard drive with the other. He also kept data on thumb drives. And he rarely traveled with both machines, but had to in this case because of an assignment. "I had no idea how screwed I was about to be," he recalls.
Fellow passenger Paul Jorgensen was more fortunate, at least when it came to his computer. The night before the flight, Jorgensen backed up "a ton of data" on his IBM ThinkPad via a business account his employer had with the Mozy online backup service. Jorgensen works for Epocrates, a producer of medical software.
"Pretty quickly after I realized I was 100% safe [on the ferry] I realized I was going to be in pretty deep trouble without that laptop," says Jorgensen, who had been seated in the first row of the plane. "My life is in that laptop."
Within a day, Mozy sent him 6 DVDs with recovered data. "The accident was on a Thursday. By Monday I was completely back up and running."
Fortunately, most people won't ever have the experience of losing a laptop as a result of a crash landing into the Hudson River, however, catastrophic computer failure does occur on a daily basis as a result of hard drive crash, leaving a laptop in the taxi, or something as benign as a spilled cup of coffee. By contrast, Mr. Wiley is out thousands of dollars and countless time, while Mr. Jorgensen (who has been using Mozy) was back up and running within a few days.
We're grateful that all passengers on Flight 1549 were in the hands of such an experienced and skillful crew and were all and able to return to their loved ones without any loss of life or significant injury.
Update: ComputerWorld Columnist Lucas Mearian also published a story about Mozy customer Paul Jorgensen:
"The only thing else not lost forever was the data stored on the laptop, copies of which were kept on the servers of an online backup company. Epocrates uses Mozy to back up data and, uncharacteristically, Jorgensen had backed up his files the night before the flight. Six DVDs holding the data were sent to Jorgensen on Jan. 19, just four days after the crash. "I was left without an excuse to not work. It was almost too quick," he joked. . . .
Without the backup, he would have not only lost all of his business data, but a lot of personal data and photos that he kept on the lost laptop. It was one less thing to worry about, he noted."

Softball Park at Gartland Field
A picturesque and breathtaking view of the Hudson River provides the dramatic backdrop for the Softball Park at Gartland Athletic Field. This jewel of an athletic venue is nestled on the north end of the Marist campus as part of the Gartland Athletic Field, and has served as the home of Marist softball since the program's inception in 1992.
The Red Foxes christened their new field on March 26, 1992, against Pace University. Marist would pick up its first win at the Softball Park three days later with a 1-0 victory over Saint Peter's.
The sand-based bluegrass, rye and fescue mix natural grass field is completely irrigated and surrounded by numerous amenities. A batting cage is located outside the right field foul territory for pre-game warm-up and daily practice sessions. Seating along the first and third base lines can accommodate nearly 200 fans. A 50-foot-high plateau located behind the field allows for additional seating and provides terrific vistas of the Hudson River.
Fencing was added to the park in 2002, giving the facility traditional field dimensions of 190 feet down each line and 210 feet to center field. A warning track composed of crushed brick, along with individual home and away bullpens, add to the facility's amenities. A new Daktronics scoreboard located beyond the right field fence was added in the summer of 2005. The park was chosen as the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference's championship tournament site in 2001, 2004, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2016. Additionally, in 2005 the Empire State Games utilized the park as its competition venue.

"The quality of these super cute, modern cards is superb. Go with the pearl paper, you won't regret. Fun size! I like to be a little different; these pleased! Shipped fast."
"Just moved to a new city and wanted calling cards to share new information. Also added a list of my 12 favorite books to the back of the card being a bibliophile and often meeting with other book lovers. Lots of compliments on these sweet and fun cards!"
"I needed a simple calling card that would work as a card to schedule play dates and to give to vendors/contractors/whatever else I needed. This card fit the bill. It's simple but nicely designed and the size is different which makes it stand out from other cards. I am super happy that I sprung for the pearlized paper because it might have been a little boring without it. I'll be ordering more for sure. I got the blue version and it's a very nice color. The printing is crisp and clear."
"I am happy with my business cards. This is my 2nd time ordering my design. The only thing I would 'tweak' a bit is to have the font a bit larger. Other than that, these cards are lovely & the customer service is superb!"
"It's a great personal card to give someone I meet that I want to keep in touch with, or have them contact me. In my opinion, it's much better then using traditional business cards."

text: Changes from the DESE Licensure Office Changes are underway or have already occurred in two areas: redesign of the licensure application review process and a new policy interpretation of the "12 Credit Rule." The changes are summarized below and links to department documents are provided. DESE Licensure Office 1. Call Center Hours have been reduced from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. to 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. 2. The Licensure Office is moving to an increasingly paperless process resulting in virtually all communications regarding licensure being processed electronically and via email. Application Review Applications will not be reviewed until DESE has received all of the following: payment, official transcripts and notification of passing scores on the MTEL Communication and Literacy Tests. Upon completion of an evaluation review, if subject matter tests are necessary, the application will not be reviewed again until DESE has received notification of passing scores on required subject matter tests. Exceptions to this process will be made in the case of waivers or course pre-approval. Districts may request that a licensure application be expedited. The turnaround time is 24-48 hours. License Issued http://www.doe.mass.edu/news/news.aspx?id=5993 The Licensure Office will discontinue issuing hard copy licenses, effective 4/28/2011. The online Educator Licensure and Recruitment (ELAR) system will serve as the official record of educator licensure. Verification of Licensure http://www.doe.mass.edu/news/news.aspx?id=5993 Educators may print unofficial copies of their license. Educators may request paper duplicates ($25.00). Districts and educators may verify licensure on the ELAR profile page. Districts have access to employees' status by using the Licensure Status Drop Box through the Security Portal. The Department has a 24-hour automated system accessible by calling 781-338-3000 and pressing 2. The caller needs either the social security number or the license number to access an individual's licensure status. The 12 Credit Rule http://www.doe.mass.edu/news/news.aspx?id=5823 Some candidates for a Professional stage license (both Teacher and Specialist Teacher licenses) who already possess a master's degree may use the "12 Credit Option" (12 credits of graduate level courses in the academic discipline appropriate to the instructional field of the license sought). Formerly only those content courses completed within a graduate content department were recognized. Going forward content courses completed within and outside a graduate level program will be recognized. Graduate level courses that combine content and pedagogy will not be accepted unless pedagogy is listed in the subject matter knowledge requirements (603 CMR 7.06 and 7.07) for the license sought.http://www.doe.mass.edu/lawsregs/603cmr7.html?section=06http://www.doe.mass.edu/lawsregs/603cmr7.html?section=07 Individuals who previously have had courses denied may request a re-evaluation. A reconsideration request form is available at http://www.doe.mass.edu/educators/12creditform.pdf. How to contact the DESE Subscribe to MTA News Headlines by Email

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Contact Bruce McNabb at First Friends K9 in Fishers. He may be willing to foster.
(317) 842-4199
|I had a beautiful GSD with perianal fistulas. It is an immune system disease and difficult to treat. I got the definitive diagnosis from a vet and used cyclosporine to treat the dog for 3 years. However she would relapse every year and cyclosporine is very expensive. This disease is common in GSDs and a real trial for the owner and the dog. I had my dog from birth and this came on age 10. She live to 13 but it was difficult. I have a medical background and it was still a challenge.
NOBLESVILLE, IN:"Tucker" Needs Foster Home or GSD Rescue ASAP!
Tucker was forwarded to me by a rescue contact in IN. He is in the Humane Society for Hamilton County in Noblesville, IN so he is not in danger of being put down, but kennel life is getting to him and he needs to get out as soon as possible. All of the information I have is included in the post below and I do not know anything more about this dog or his condition (Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth - he DOES NOT have EPI).
The Humane Society is desperately looking for a foster/adoptive home or a dedicated GSD rescue who can help him and get him out of the kennel - they say his life could be at stake due to the effects of being kenneled for so long. The contact e-mail is given in the post below. NO CATS!
Noblesville, IN is near Indianapolis, IN.
URGENT: Please share this post about our sweet boy, Tucker. He is starting to give up.
Tucker is a 3 year old, pure breed German Shepherd. He was surrendered to us in October because of health issues his owner could no longer afford. Tucker was literally skin and bones suffering from very painful perianal fistulas that were aggravated by his dietary issues. We have invested a great deal of money, time and effort to identify a treatment plan that will give Tucker the chance at a quality life. And we are so relieved to tell you, we do have him on the right path.
A holistic veterinarian and German Shepherd owner herself has helped us identify Tucker's real issue...Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. He has been tested for and does not have EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency). With steroid treatment and other medications along with a special diet, Tucker is gaining weight and processing food properly. But, we have reached a point where Tucker simply must be in a foster home to recover further and gain much needed weight. The stress of living in the kennel 24/7 is fighting against all of our efforts. Tucker is depressed and giving up. His life is at stake.
We are hoping, and praying, that one of you would be willing to open your heart and home to this well-mannered, highly intelligent, neutered boy who knows all of his basic commands including sit, down, shake, roll over, beg and leave it! He is loving and affectionate, he is good with some dogs....but no cats. A meet and greet would be required with your current dogs.
For more information about Tucker and what would be required to foster and care for him, please email Rebecca Stevens at email@example.com.
Please...if you can help Tucker, don't wait.
Rebecca Stevens
Executive Director
Humane Society for Hamilton County

"This card came out beautifully. I was able to use the portions of the photos that I wanted as well as enhance several smaller photos to make a bolder statement. The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."
"I know I rely on Tinyprints to deliver a quality product on time that is also beautiful. I love that I can edit so much of the card unlike other companies."
"I loved the way the picture took up the whole card with cheerful overprinting of text. In combination with the animated expressions on my grandsons' faces, the text gave the perfect enthusiastic greeting."
"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"Card will touch your heart! Perfect Sentiment and the affirmations on the reverse side are reminders to make everyday count! I loved the card and most of the recipients either texted or e-mailed they loved it too! :)"

Archbishop of Baltimore Visits Hagerstown
"This is the first time that an archbishop has visited in a few years so we're really excited about it," said Father Collin Poston, a pastor at St. Mary's.
It was Archbishop William Lori's first time at St. Mary's. He was there to bless the newly renovated church, complete with a fresh coat of paint on the walls and new tiles on the floor.
"We have been thinking about doing it for a while," said Father Collin. "We had just finished a capital campaign where we invited the parish to support it and they did."
The Archbishop of Baltimore was also there to offer prayers for
"When there is order, there will be peace," said Abp. William Lori, Archbishop of Baltimore. "When there is chaos, there is discord."
Churchgoers showed excitement for the Archbishop's visit. One member, who was married to her husband by Archbishop Lori in 1982, was especially anxious to see him.
"I think it's awesome knowing that he's here right now," said St. Mary's Church member Lisa Casto. "I have goose bumps. I am so excited that he is here."
Father Collins of St. Mary's Church says the renovations took about two months to complete, and he hopes the Archbishop will visit again in the future.

Re: Can you see me now? - 2
Wow, the fog got a major (but expected) trim.
Both versions have their strong points. I would say the rejected one was better for having the dino an addition to the map instead of the whole map. And this one for being an easier visual read, I also like the wood-graining.

Kudos for being so cool about that; not many artists would be so agreeable.
However, I think one of the reasons (not necessarily the main one) for the 'similar shirt exists' rule is to promote diverse designs. Whether intentional or not, ramy's design was a fraternal twin of yours. The 'joke' may not have been the same, but I mean come on, it was a firefox covering the Earth.
rowanmikaio wrote:This is horrible logic. This is like saying that because you've gotten off when you were speeding before, it's okay if you're arrested "for going 40 in a 25 mph zone", even though the signs say the speed limit is 40.
No, it's more like saying you can't complain for getting nailed going 45 in a 40 zone when you've gotten away with going 80 in a 15 zone.

flamestamp13 wrote:As the "artist" (or as I like to say, the guy who randomly poked at Illustrator until something happened) who did this last time, I have no issue with ramyb doing the same joke. Sure, it's kind of obvious, but that didn't stop me, and I don't consider this one to be "stealing" my joke.
And to the people who say the image doesn't need the text, if it wasn't there, it wouldn't be a map joke, it would be a bad driver joke.
I'll say the same thing I said to DianaSprinkle in the Global Warming thread: very cool that you don't mind a previously used designed being re-used. But, while he did it intentionally or not, the 'similar shirts exist' rule exists for a reason. This seems to be violating that rule.
Re: a leaf is just a map of an entire forest
The design is great, but i think it could do without the text
tjost wrote:Again though as you just pointed out its not exactly the map from dora. Not only does it not look the same, mine is actually unraveld a bit ( which the dora map does not do) to show its not that map nor a zelda map. In the end its up to woot though.
My reasoning on this is woot wanted pop-culture in moderation, one element is fine But like Spiritgreen's Link your Link is paired with another pop-culture reference. There is nothing solely yours in the design. That is why using the Map character from Dora doesn't fly here while it does in the Patcha the explorer design.
Wait, Patcha is just a made up name, right? I haven't read the right kind of books to know.
Edit: Well, pop-culture in moderation may not be the perfect way to explain it either, since someone created a Nintendoland and had like 20 different pop-culture references in it. But that theme park was his, you have the 2 references without anything else to say they are not in one of those fictional worlds. If you had put link in New York and had him turn to the equally confused Map for guidance I would guess that it would have gotten by.

Great! But a little bland. Would look nicer with a little color.
blanked wrote:I thought real world was allowed? Also I figured you would link unexpected error.
I would say different concepts. Sadly this got rejected over crap and Ramby hate around here.
This design clearly was a play on the the firefox logo. I would of bought it but sadly got rejected. This week is not looking good for me to get one of the derby shirts.

That rule only applies if the first design actually becomes a shirt. The "exists" part of the rule as it were. The first design for this one was never made into a shirt.
Also... woot is very particular about this rule, sometimes they are strict to an extreme and sometimes they let similar shirts pass on by. In last week's Halloween derby, Ramyb's bunny avoided rejection even though a slightly different version of the same idea by him was rejected for "similar shirt's existing" in a previous derby. The rejectionator is fickle.
I bet 10 million of those were LPs.

rowanmikaio wrote:I'm kind of surprised that no one seems to have commented on the art itself. I'm normally pretty forgiving, and I've defended Ramy's decisions a few times in the past, but I have to say that the car looks pretty awkward with the way it's sticking out of the water. I mean, the rear left tire, based on this perspective, hasn't even hit the water yet. That means that over HALF of the car isn't in the water. That wouldn't happen, because the weight of the car would push the back half down until it hit the water.
And since the guy is not only outside of the car, but has managed to get a decent distance away, the car is sinking ridiculously slowly.
Sorry, but I can't vote for this one. Maybe next time, Ramy!
You're definitely overanalyzing this. Nobody is going to sit there staring at the shirt thinking, "Why hasn't the car sunk more?" They'll just see that the GPS led the person astray, laugh, and go on with life. I say thumbs up for the design!
