The park provides an unbelievable biking experience for all levels of riders. Don't have a bike? Don't worry because they have a huge fleet of rental bikes and gear for you to ride.
Read on to find out what's in store for you at Trestle Bike Park…
Experience chair lifted access to the top of the Colorado Rockies, and ride down amazing trails all day. The Village at Trestle Bike Park has lodging, restaurants, children's activities, etc. to ensure an amazing vacation. The park has major plans for upgrading the trails over the next few years. Trestle just got approved by the U.S. Forest Service for the first phase of trail expansion. They will be adding over 20 new trails. That is 9.5 miles of new excavated trails, jump trails, elevated trails and single track trails for you to ride. Currently the park offers a wide range of trails for all levels of riders. The plans that are in store for the park are going to make it legendary. He are a few photos from this year.
Trestle's plan is to build quality trails that will last and be sustainable to all weather conditions. In the coming years the park wants to add new sustainable trails rather than fixing unsustainable trails to ensure more new riding for visitors. Trestle has made sure that their existing trails and future proposed trails are world class, by partnering up with gravity logic, the top team in park designers and managers from Whistler Bike Park.
Rent a bike from the Trestle Bike Shop. Below are some pictures from inside the shop. They have an entire fleet of Kona bikes and protective gear for everyone. Get all suited up in the newest and coolest gear. They even have pink pads for the girls! If someone in your group needs bike lessons, Trestle offers them!
Rental Bikes waiting for you!
The rental bikes.
This year the park as opened up some killer trails. Giving us a peek at what's to come in the future are trails like Free Speech, No Quarter, Bear Arms, and the Jump Trail. Also the Downhill race course just open and falls 1700 vertical feet from the top of Winter Park Mountain to the base. Below is a video I found here on Pinkbike of Trestle Bike Park of a trail called Boulevard.

To be honest, Wnter Park has the easest trals of all the 4 resorts wthn an hour of there. But the crew buildng the new trails s doing a great job and the Trestle DH track (which is not on the map)is a great trail. But most of thr stuff is mellow. Saftey factor, not pucker factor. Plus the village keeps the wife and kids busy.

I don't know, it looked pretty fun for a high-speed jump trail. Gotta mix the biking up. Man cannot live on gnar alone. One thing I noticed was that it looked pretty buttery with no dust.

WWYD? Worried about dogs w/ particular rescue
I adopted Eves (RIP sweet girl) from a fairly sketchy rescue. I won't get into all the details of my/our experience since they really don't matter at this point, but I am concerned about what the rescue is currently doing.
It's a one-person operation. This person has a couple of personal dogs who happen to be rescues and happen to be older, and this person considers them "seniors in sanctuary" and asks for donations for them. That's concern #1. It upsets me to see people making donations thinking these dogs are up for adoption, but in reality they are this individual's dogs. Concern #2 is the treatment of this person's dogs. This person has back problems that they post about on Facebook (on the rescue page too) constantly. This person owns a dog ("senior in sanctuary," but it is a personal dog) that weighs about as much as this person, and this dog has not had use of its back legs for at least 6 mos. This person is still posting on social media requesting donations for a cart for this dog.... for at least 6 months. I'm just having visions of this poor dog sitting in its own excrement for hours... no current photos... worried about the condition of all the other dogs "in sanctuary" too if it has taken more than half a year to get a cart for an extra-large breed dog that clearly needs one... Then again, calling animal control would likely result in these dogs ending up at the county shelter in an area of the country where very few dogs leave shelters :( What would you do? :confused: |
Report them to animal control.
You can offer to help and volunteer.

Hi friends!
I would like to ask those who experienced both (including DT-880-600Ohms v.) which pair of mentioned headphones are more bass-delivery capable? I have a feeling of certain lack of bass notes depth in my setup (Darkvoice 3322, soon to be eventually upgraded to Little Dot MK IV if wise :-)) when using 880-600 but the overall picture and presence is still astonishing.
Where are the differences?
Oh yes, and what are the differeneces between various resistance types (80 ohms, 259 Ohms)?
Would you maybe recommend some other amp in this line of setup, including 880-600?
Cheers and...
Have a nice listening these days

PerkStreet recently updated their offering and now they offer 5% cash back in some spending categories. Read more about the 5% cash back offer from PerkStreet Financial.
I was hanging out with some friends the other night, playing some Texas hold'em, and we started talking about our generation's feelings towards debt. Even though we know there is a lot of credit card debt out there, we concluded that many of people our age and younger are growing tired of the kind of lifestyle that involves credit. Many of my friends choose not to use credit cards at all. I know Dave Ramsey has been a big player in creating this shift.
While I'm not completely against using credit cards, I do see the benefits of going without one. That's why I thought pointing this reward debit card out to you guys would prove beneficial.
Aside from the convenience factor, the only reason I currently use a card is to get the cash back credit card rewards. For those in the anti-credit card crowd, it can seem like you are being left out of this whole "rewards" system. Well, you don't have to be anymore. There is a new checking account from PerkStreet Financial that comes with a debit card that pays you 1% cash back on your spending as well as 2% and 5% at select retailers. Here are the details:
- PerkStreet Financial offers a free online checking account
- The checking account has the standard ($250K) FDIC insurance
- 1% Cash Back Rewards on Non PIN-Based Transactions
- 2% Cash Back at several popular retailers including Walmart and Amazon.com® online and in-store*
- 2% Cash Back when you and a friend both use your Perkstreet card at any restaurant, bar or coffee shop within 60 minutes of each other
- 5% Cash Back on rotating categories selected by Perkstreet cardholders just like you each month
What About ATMs? – When you need cash, use one of PerkStreet's 37,000 ATMs within the STARsf® surcharge-free network. Outside this network you pay $2. To give you an idea of how many free ATMs PerkStreet has, they've put together this chart comparing their numbers to other banks. Kudos to them for doing this because with an online bank, there's a greater need for ATM use.
What About Deposits? – Like every online only account, the downside is the ability to make quick deposits. However, PerkStreet seems to have made the best of the situation. You can deposit funds using any of these 4 methods: direct deposit, transfer from another bank, regular mail (PerkStreet provides postage paid envelopes for you), and free overnight deposit via UPS Store or Mail Boxes, etc.
What About Safety? – "Every PerkStreetSM account is FDIC insured up to $250,000 and all PerkStreet FinancialSM Visa® Debit Cards are protected by The Visa Zero Liability policy."
Who Is PerkStreet Financial?
I encourage you to check out PerkStreet's "Our Company" section. You'll be impressed with their mission and see that it aligns with your own goals of financial responsibility and security. Click on the image of the video and then head to the "Our Company" section of the PerkStreet website to view the video of CEO, Dan O'Malley.
How PerkStreet Compares with Other Online Checking Accounts
If you are currently using PerkStreet's checking account, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the product. Leave your comments below…
Update: I'm opening a PerkStreet account. Check out part one of my PerkStreet account opening process review.

- To demonstrate that RG1068-enhanced MRCP improves image quality relative to unenhanced MRCP in patients with unexplained acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis.
- To evaluate if the use of RG1068-enhanced MRCP improves structural delineation of the pancreatic duct as compared to the non-enhanced MRCP.
- To assess pancreatic exocrine function by quantifying pancreatic fluid output into the duodenum and the apparent diffusion coefficient of the pancreas.

Experimental: 1
Drug + MR with MRCP
Drug: RG1068 (Synthetic Human Secretin)
Dose: 0.2 μg/kg of synthetic human or 18.5 µg for patients over 50 kg Route: Intravenous Frequency: Once Duration: Over 1 minute
Detailed Description:
Until relatively recently, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was the primary diagnostic and therapeutic modality for assessing patients with suspected pancreatic disease or abnormalities. However, this invasive procedure carries with it a significant potential for complications including acute pancreatitis, hemorrhage and infection, as well as reactions to contrast material or premedications and exposure to radiation. In addition, the success of such procedures, both from the standpoint of safety and efficacy, is highly dependent on the skill of the endoscopist, and the cost of ERCP is relatively high.
The advent of magnetic resonance imaging has resulted in the development of a less expensive, non-invasive, radiation-free means of assessing the pancreaticobiliary system: Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). MRCP uses stationary water in biliary and pancreatic secretions as an intrinsic contrast medium, thus facilitating examination of pancreatic and biliary ducts and surrounding tissue. Secretin, which promotes the secretion of pancreatic fluid into the pancreatic ducts, can thereby enhance the MR imaging signal, improving delineation of both normal and abnormal structures, as well as highlighting abnormal fluid collections and leakage. Conversely, filling defects can indicate the presence of stones or mass lesions.
This study is being undertaken to prospectively assess the effectiveness of RG1068-enhanced MRCP relative to unenhanced MRCP in pediatric patients. RG1068 is a synthetic human secretin with a pharmacological profile very similar to that of biological and synthetic porcine secretins. Secretin is a 27-amino acid gastrointestinal peptide hormone that is produced by S-cells in the duodenum in response to the pH decrease caused by the passage of partially digested food from the stomach into the intestine. RG1068 is identical in amino acid sequence to naturally occurring human secretin and differs from porcine secretin in 2 amino acids.

Editorial: Californians dodge bullet on gas prices
In a victory for consumers and fuel producers over an unreasonable dictate by California regulators, the low-carbon mandate of the state's Global Warming Solutions Act has been put on hold by a federal judge. With challenges pending to similar laws in other states, a Supreme Court showdown on the issue is in the offing, and until then we are hopeful these Draconian, economy-stifling restrictions can be held at bay.
The constitutional challenge to California's low-carbon fuel standard will hold up enforcement of a requirement that some estimate could drive fuel prices up by as much as 30 percent, and which producers of transportation fuel claim discriminates against out-of-state providers by favoring in-state producers.
U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill ruled last month that the California regulation runs afoul of the Constitution's Commerce Clause, which gives the federal government sole authority to regulate interstate commerce.
California's low-carbon regulation, part of the sweeping Assembly Bill 32 signed in 2006 by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, would "harm our nation's energy security by discouraging the use of Canadian crude oil – our nation's largest source of imported petroleum – and ethanol produced in the American Midwest," said Charles Drevna, president of the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association.
In his ruling, Judge O'Neill said the California law's practical effect would be that "the ethanol market would become Balkanized, since a producer would have strong incentives to either relocate its operations in the state of largest use, or sell only locally to avoid transportation and other penalties." This, the judge said, would interfere with "maintenance of a national economic union unfettered by state-imposed limitations on interstate commerce."
The Commerce Clause challenge may prove fatal to the low-carbon mandate of AB32, which state bureaucrats say is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the "carbon intensity" of transportation fuels in California an average of 10 percent by 2020.
Consumer Energy Alliance's Michael Whatley said the decision "struck down a misguided policy that would have resulted in even higher fuel costs ... while increasing the cost of business throughout the state."
Those ramifications never have much mattered to the California Air Resources Board, which hopes to use AB32's many provisions to force Californians off affordable fossil fuels under the pretense of fighting global warming, while subsidizing uneconomical alternative fuels that can't otherwise compete in the marketplace.
The federal district court has done Californians a favor by slowing AB32's momentum, and giving the nation's highest court an opportunity to stop it before irreparable economic harm is done.

The profile picture is evidence that David Byrne is a time-traveling demigod.
In 1975, photographer/filmmaker Bruce Jackson, who has spent decades documenting prison life, was visiting Arkansas' Cummins Unit, a state prison farm. While there, he stumbled upon a drawer filled with old prison ID photos snapped between 1915 and 1940. Jackson recontextualized these as a unique form of portraiture in his book "Pictures from a Drawer." Accidental Mysteries posted a collection of these striking images.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
The Penguins know this migraine. So do the Rangers. The Bruins moved one giant step closer to a Stanley Cup championship Monday night on Causeway Street, once more blending their painful, punishing cocktail of stifling defense and air-tight Tuukka Rask goaltending (28 saves) for a 2-0 win over the Blackhawks.
What a pain it must be to play the Bruins right now. They allowed the Penguins only two goals in four games in the Eastern Conference Finals. They shut down everything and everyone Pittsburgh had to offer. Sidney Crosby disappeared. Evgeni Malkin never came out of the fog. Ditto for Kris Letang and everyone else in the Penguins lineup.

AVONDALE, La. – Round Two of the SCCA Mid-States Majors Tour closed with a thrilling Spec Miata race, capping a BFGoodrich Tires NOLA Super Tour weekend at NOLA Motorsports Park that ran to rave critical reviews.
SafeRacer Club Racing drivers went out of their way to praise the NOLA Motorsports Park's 16-turn, 2.75-mile circuit throughout the weekend, many here for the first time.
Sunday's schedule featured a full slate of 17-lap races.
Formula F began the day in a race that no one seemed to want to win. David Livingston's No. 85 ThermaMasters Swift/Ford spun in the race's first corner and fell to the back of the field, but regained his composure and knocked off some fast laps and he aimed back to the front.
Saturday winner Bill Kephart's No. 37 Vestial 10F/Honda spun on lap six in a battle for the lead with Wesley Cunningham's No. 33 Over Fifty/MSR Houston/Honda Swift DB-6, handing the lead to Cunningham. With no one around, Cunningham stretched his lead to as high as 11 seconds until, on lap 11, he spun and fell back to third.
At that point, Livingston was back in front, ahead of Meg Sauce's No. 10 Sportscar Performance Swift DB-6. Livingston and Sauce both spun again on lap 14, and just like that, Cunningham was back in front.
With a second chance at the top spot, Cunningham pulled away to the checkered flag, followed by Kephart and Livingston on the podium.
The Group Two race featured a fast and tight Formula Atlantic race that was derailed early when opening lap contact damaged the right rear suspension on Saturday winner Conner Kearby's No. 56 GK-Motorsports/K-Hill Swift 016 and brought out a full course caution.
Father Gaston Kearby took over the lead following the restart in the No. 69 GK Motorsports/K-Hill Swift 016a, but spent the last half of the race with his mirrors full of the No. 70 Martini/Coors Light Swift 014a. Cooper could close to the rear of Kearby's car, but with no way around, had to settle for second by just 0.786-second.
Darryl Wills swept the Formula Mazda weekend in the No. 1 Hillengburg Motorsports Formula Mazda, as did David Grant in Formula Continental (No. 59 Polestar Motor Racing Spectrum 014z), Jack Donnellan in Prototype 2 (No. 6 Kechi Energy Lola 598), and Tim Reinke in Formula Enterprises (No. 50 Formula Enterprises).
Charlie Vehle got an early challenge in the American Sedan race, as the No. 57 CH4 Resources Ford Mustang of Thomas Hines won the drag race to turn one, and held the lead on the opening lap. Vehle's No. 50 Ford Mustang moved back to the lead on lap two, and then cruised to an easy weekend sweep when Himes pulled off track with mechanical issues on the front straight.
Matt Blehm moved his Super Touring Under-winning No. 48 Nissan 240SX around Cliff Ira's Super Touring Lite-winning No. 36 Fira Motorsports Acura Integra late in the race for the overall second position, but neither driver was challenged in class on their way to weekend sweeps.
Zach Monette resumed his rivalry with David Fershtand in the GT-1 race on Sunday, following a tight duel during Saturday's race. Monette's No. 199 Optech Jaguar XKR got the jump on the No. 70 Fershtand Race Prepared Chevrolet Corvette at the green flag, and moved into the lead.

Top of it's price class!
Pros: Cheap, well built, bass heavy, accessories
Cons: Bass heavy, hollow vocals
Packaging – SML single flanges and two double flange tips (one "balanced") along with a clamshell case and annoying preattached shirt clip. No surprises here.
Build – Nice aluminum body but looks very plain and cheap. Great tangle and noise free cable plus good strain reliefs. I found that certain tips, the drivers exhibit some serious flexing during insertion. The updated remote/mic is very solid but a tad bulky.
Comfort – This style of housing have never given me fit problems and the M9 is no different. I found all the tips to be rather comfortable. Isolation is pretty average considering the ported back.
Soundstage – Weird is the only word I can...

Detroit Wayne County Health Authority Appoints First Executive Director
Jan 19, 2005, 00:00 ET from Detroit Wayne County Health Authority
DETROIT, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Chris Allen, a long-time health care and hospital administrator in southeast Michigan, has been named the first executive director by the Board of Directors of the Detroit Wayne County Health Authority. The newly-created Health Authority, a collaborative effort between the City of Detroit, County of Wayne, State of Michigan, health providers and community members, aims to improve access to health care for more than 700,000 uninsured and underinsured residents of Detroit and Wayne County. The announcement was made at a press conference held today at the Wayne County Building in Detroit. Allen, a community leader and lifelong resident of southeastern Michigan, will oversee the day-to-day operations of the Health Authority as well as leading strategic planning, fund development, financial management and community relations. "We are delighted to have Chris on board," said Health Authority board chairman Gail L. Warden. "His track record shows more than 25 years of leadership and accountability. His experience ranges from administration to community partnership and from fiscal operations to program development for prevention, primary care and chronic disease." Allen has been leading the nationally-recognized program Family Road in Detroit, which provides prevention and health education services to more than 184,000 individuals and families to date at its five sites. Before leading the Family Road, Allen served as executive vice president and chief executive officer of Hutzel Hospital from 1991 to 1995, and was vice president for management services at the Detroit Medical Center from 1989 to 1991. Allen received his master's degree in health services administration from the University of Michigan in 1980 and a bachelor's degree from Wayne State University. Allen is a fellow of the American College of Health Care Executives and has held offices on numerous local, regional, and national boards including the American Red Cross, Catholic Health Association, National Arthritis Foundation, and others. He is married and has two children. Allen resides in the city of Detroit. The Health Authority board of directors has also selected and appointed the members of two 25-member Advisory committees that will oversee the direction of the Authority and provide community input into the process. These committees are scheduled to meet for the first time February 1-2. Created in 2004, the Health Authority is forging a new path to better health for the residents of Detroit and Wayne County. Over $1.7 million in public and private dollars has been secured to get the Health Authority up and running.

text: Tony Blair has urged western governments to recognise that they need to take an active role in the Middle East, saying the west should consider military options short of sending ground troops. The former prime minister said there was a huge range of options available, including air strikes and drones as used in Libya. Tony Blair also hit out at critics who linked the 2003 invasion of Iraq with the current violence in the country, blaming instead the West's failure to act in Syria. The former prime minister, who led Britain into the US-led war to remove Saddam Hussein and is now a diplomatic envoy in the Middle East, also criticised the sectarianism of the government in Baghdad. In a long article published on his website, Blair said arguments that there would be no crisis in the region if the Iraqi dictator had remained in power were "bizarre". But he said the Syrian conflict had provided the Islamic militants seizing swathes of territory in northern Iraq with battle experience and a base from which to launch their attacks across the border. Blair said action in Syria needed not be another invasion, but said moderate rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad should be "given the support they need". Pointing out that as many people had been killed in Syria as in the whole of Iraq since 2003, Blair said he would have supported military intervention in Syria some time ago, and suggested that there may have to be accommodation with President Assad. Blair was prime minister between 1997 and 2007 and is now representative for the Middle East Quartet, comprised of the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and Russia.

I am excited to share each of the articles in this issue. Although they address many different topics, they all touch on the personal, social, and political conflicts that often accompany economic development, especially with regard to land use. James Ombrello, Jr.'s, article on James Doty explores political conflict during Wisconsin's formative territorial period, from 1836 to 1848. Monette Bebow-Reinhardt's piece on John Arndt's lumber mill on the Pensaukee River considers not only Arndt's business strategies but also the negotiations between the United States and its citizens with the Menominee Nation for control over land and resources. Jeff Siemers's article on the Christian missionary church of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians considers how internal political debates over how best to secure lands and autonomy affected the work of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) within the tribal community. Noriko Itoh and Willem Keeris's article profiles Guido Verbeck, who lived in Green Bay briefly during the 1850s before becoming an important missionary and cultural emissary to Japan. During his time in Green Bay, Verbeck became tangled in a business controversy involving another recent immigrant, Otto Tank, who played a significant role in the development of Green Bay in the mid-nineteenth century. Finally, Linda Wallenfang's article uncovers an early twentieth-century road-building controversy that followed upon the completion of a railroad through the small town of New Franken in 1891. Each in their own way, these articles remind us that every road, church, and business in our region has a story—or many stories—waiting to be told.
The cover image, an 1849 painting of Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican leader Austin E. Quinney, represents an important part of the history of northeast Wisconsin. Quinney, along with his cousin John, supported efforts of the Stockbridge-Munsee to protect their land and tribal sovereignty after their migration to Wisconsin in the 1820s. The first three articles in this issue speak to the central role that First Nations play in the history of our region.
This year I celebrated twenty years as editor-in-chief. I'm retiring after this issue, and it's bittersweet that this is my last letter to you.* I am Voyageur's third editor. Dean O'Brien, the previous editor, retired from teaching at UW-Green Bay and moved away. This was at a time when the Internet was relatively new and long-distance calls were expensive, so I was mostly on my own. While I didn't reinvent the wheel, over the years I changed the wheel as far as some of the content and look of the magazine goes. Few people get a chance to do something they love. As a journalist and a historian, Voyageur has been a perfect fit. But sometimes I didn't realize what I had. Juggling my jobs as a professor and an editor while raising two children as a single mother often seemed overwhelming. But it was worth it, and it's an understatement to say that I will miss all of you—readers; contributors; members of the Editorial Committee; Voyageur staff; student graphic artists and editorial assistants; Brown County Historical Society members, leaders, and staff; and University of Wisconsin- Green Bay colleagues, especially in the communication and history programs. And, of course, I'll miss the magazine.
I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to have been part of a team and magazine that created a lasting record of the pre-history and history Northeast Wisconsin. All of you, through your support, have made the last two decades possible.
*Professor Goff's last issue was the Winter/Spring 2015 issue.
Voyageur is a nonprofit magazine about the history of a 26-county area of greater Northeast Wisconsin. It's published twice a year, each June and December. Publication frequency is Summer/Fall and Winter/Spring. Each 64-page edition highlights historic people, places and events from the region's past. Voyageur has a readership of 10,000. It's distributed to homes, schools, libraries, businesses and other locations throughout Wisconsin, in nearly all fifty states and overseas. Voyageur has published two issues a year since its beginning in 1984. The magazine is published by the Brown County Historical Society in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and St. Norbert College in De Pere.
As many readers know, Professor Victoria Goff 's final issue as Editor-in-Chief was the Winter/Spring 2015 edition. She did excellent work as editor for twenty years, and I am humbled to follow in her footsteps. I thank her for passing many manuscripts and ideas to me for this issue. I would also like to recognize three members of the editorial board who are stepping down after many years of service. Thanks to Thelma McLester and Jeanine Mead, and to Kerry Trask, whose long service to the magazine included a stint as chair of the Editorial Committee. I would also like to thank Steven Sheehan for his recent term as chair of the Editorial Committee. New to the Editorial Committee are J P Leary, Eric Morgan (who is also Review Editor), and James Ombrello, Jr., each of whom assisted with this issue. Art Director Toni Damkoehler gently guided me through the publication process. Finally, the students who served as editorial assistants and graphic designers did excellent work to help create this issue. Publishing Voyageur is a highly collaborative project, and I am grateful to be working with such a wonderful team of colleagues. I would like to dedicate my labors on this issue to the late Frank S. Luttmer, who mentored me in research, writing, and editing—among other arts.

Occidental Awarded $700,000 Mellon Grant for Digital Scholarship
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded a three-year, $700,000 grant to Occidental College to integrate digital resources into student and faculty learning, teaching, and scholarship as part of Occidental's new effort to re-imagine its library as an academic commons at the center of campus life.
The grant will make it possible for Occidental to:
- Bring several post-doctoral fellows in the humanities and social sciences to Occidental to stimulate new thinking about the creation and use of digital content and resources to increase their use in teaching, learning and research;
- Design and deliver three week-long summer institutes to help faculty integrate digital technologies in their courses and build a base on which future course and curriculum development can build;
- Develop an existing pilot program in open access scholarly publishing, known as OxyScholar, into a fully realized digital platform for work created by Occidental faculty and students;
- Train current library staff in the use of specific digital technologies and techniques applicable to academic work; and
- Define the basic elements of digital fluency for Occidental students that include digital, information, visual and technological competencies, as well as a process through which they can be integrated across the college's core curriculum.
"The Mellon Foundation's generous support will play a critical role in helping Occidental create a leading edge of practice and innovation needed to transform the library into an academic commons - one that makes our fundamental commitments as a 21st-century college of the liberal arts and sciences visible to everyone," said President Jonathan Veitch.
While the physical space and some of the services of Occidental's Mary Norton Clapp Library have been relatively untouched since a new wing was added in 1970, the learning patterns of students have changed dramatically and will continue to do so, Veitch said.
The Mellon grant will make it possible for Occidental to explore the digital resources and technologies that have shaped these patterns and pursue complementary efforts to cluster academic support services in a renovated and reconfigured library building - a dynamic one-stop shop that will better meet the needs of faculty, students, and staff.
"Our ultimate goal is simple but ambitious: to create a new focal point for our academic community," Veitch said.
Occidental will immediately begin to recruit post-doctoral fellows and plans to hold its first digital summer institute for 10 faculty members this August, said Pamela McQuesten, vice president for information resources.

Burner Cap for XGK-EX
I can't make the Quietstove work on my Svea 123's (1 new and 2 used). Whether the flame bell is deformed or not, the flame always lights back to the nipple. The Quietstove burner head worked briefly with a blue flame on a new Svea.

The QuietStove burner caps are intended as a replacement for the burner flame spreader plate on stoves having the "roarer" style burner, such as the MSR XGK and Dragonfly, Svea 123 and 123R and similar Primus 71 and Optimus stoves.

We were particularly impressed by the value for money of the Navigon 1210, which was at the time the cheapest option with full European maps on the market, and it wasn't missing any obviously important features.
The 3310 max seems similarly aggressively priced. Available for as little as £140 from some vendors, like the 1210 it also offers full European maps, but in a widescreen device with premium features.
This is our first taster of Navigon's latest software revision, which some previous generation devices can also obtain as a downloadable upgrade for £49.99. It has a number of innovations, some of which are clearly inspired by TomTom, but not necessarily any the worse for it. Chief amongst these is MyRoutes, which is broadly similar to TomTom's IQ Routes.
Navigon claims MyRoutes adapts its journey calculations to your driving style, but its main innovation is taking into account historic traffic speeds along roads, rather than just using the maximum possible speed or shortest distance. This also varies depending on time of day and day of week, so theoretically calculates different routes during rush hour compared to Sunday morning.
In practice, when you turn on MyRoutes you're presented with three routing options, with each illustrated by a different colour on the top-down overall map view. The first will be the MyRoutes choice. You can then click on the one you'd like to use before navigation commences. As with IQ Routes, this feature is very hard to assess scientifically, particularly in comparison with the TomTom alternative, but we didn't find ourselves being directed towards roads we knew would be a nightmare at particular times of day.

Hill named starter, gets hurt
Posted By Zach Arce On Aug 27 2009 @ 4:23 am In San Francisco 49ers | No Comments
The 49ers named Shaun Hill the starting quarterback on Monday morning. Just two days later at practice on Wednesday, the injury is a concern on Hill's lowerback. Shaun's status has yet to be determined for the 49ers upcoming preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys
The position battle for the 49ers quarterback spot is over, Coach Mike Singletary has confirmed that Shaun Hill, who was favored from the beginning of camp will be the starting quraterback for San Francisco. Hill didn't really get much action thus far in the preseason but I guess the team has seen enough of Hill to determine he is the best out of himself, Alex Smith and Damon Huard.
Just days after Hill was named the 49ers starter, he suffered a lower back injury. Coach Singletary has not disclosed Hill's status for the game against the Dallas Cowboys on Friday, August 28th. It is likely they will sit Hill, due to they don't want to agrivate the stress in his back more. Hill has already shown he had the tools to be the starter on the team out of the trio that was battling it out. I think it would be smart to sit him out and just have him play in the final game if he is 100%. You still have Smith and Huard, who have both had good pre-season's of their own and have shown they can hold their own.

I love that you are sparing your kids that task. Both of my parents died unexpectedly, well before their time, and we are still dealing with their things...some of which I love, others not so much! The guilt of getting rid of it was horrible at first, and I really do feel like we kept only the best stuff.
I should consider doing this too, as my kids will likely never want half the stuff in my house, and a lot of it is just taking up space. As I get older I feel more and more drawn to the simplicity of an uncluttered house. I know you feel the same way, so good for you on getting rid of things you no longer use or like. Thanks for your lovely comment too! xo
KatSLOWLY . . . I am getting rid of "stuff!". I say . . . what ever happened to me that I took so much "stuff" into my life. I keep sorting, purging, giving, recycling . . . still have stuff!
I remember one time I was looking for some little bit or bauble and said to myself . . . "why did I give that away" but usually I am thrilled to clean out a corner or room.
I like your 100 items idea . . . I best get with it!Good idea. I have been doing that for months. Even after I have moved. It feels good. It seems that since I had a blog, I kept collecting stuff to put on my blog. I like pinterest for that reason. I can have as many collections as I want, and it takes up no space, and for some reason it feels the same as actually having the item.
ReplyDeleteI swear we are twins of different Mothers lol..Doing exactly the same thing but I had no number in mind so I'm adopting your 100.
I take photos and send them out to my local list of clients and pals and they call up and buy. Anything left over gets donated... The bigger items I check with the kids first...
Thank you for the goal number. I had considered doing the closet 100 trick but I still have hopes that the smaller sizes may fit some day...yeah uh huh....
I may also adopt the mosaic idea to keep me honest and get er done! :D
Thank you AGAIN <3I wish you could hold on to some things until we get all moved back to the US !
I have a hard time throwing things away, but had to learn when we moved to South America and now going back, I am not throwing one thing away lol... I can't keep throwing things away each time I move. But I will need things when we get back .. red and white dishes perhaps :) and a bit of random jewellery would be fine too.
What you don't sell now, hold on til I get back !!
besos... 6 weeks and counting ~~Oh yes I do!!! Just visit our basement and you will see what I mean!! Chania, you have hit a chord with me and just maybe some encouragement to 'let it all go, Jim'!!
Why I have it? Well, most of it got us through a couple of rough periods in our lives when we needed a distraction to keep our minds off of things....it a break for us.
Yes, it is time to 'empty out' here too! Thanks Chania!I started purging a few years ago and at the same time I became more selective of what I bought for our home. I also went through a phase of keeping absolutely everything for one sentimental reason or another but then it became just crazy when I though about where I would end up one day. Now I am trying to teach myself to purge clothing. I have not applied the same logic necessarily to my clothes closet. I have old jeans that ...well, maybe will fit me again one day??? ;)
ReplyDeleteHi! I came over to visit from Old Grey Mare and I must say I'm going to join in this 100 item purge. I'm like you thinking what will my children say if they have to go through all this STUFF! I love vintage and bargains and so it really adds up in the house. I thought I would sell things but I find it a lot of bother to be truthful. Are you selling any of your items or just giving them to certain people. I'm trying to decide how to rid myself of some of my treasures. I'm going to visit some of your previous posts!
hugs, LindaAs I cleaned out and purged our attic this time last year I think I asked that question with 95% of the stuff that was up there. I also found that I tended to hold onto things of my parents, simply because they were theirs and they were no longer around and I still wanted everything that represented them - even if I didn't like whatever it was. How's that for self-diagnosis? I "disposed" of things of theirs which I did not particularily like in proper fashion and felt better knowing I only had things of theirs around that had special meaning or I particularily liked. Now my issue is things from my children's childhood. I've moved at lot of these things to CA in the hope that when little babies start showing up I can pull these "treasures" out. My son will be horrified to know some of the baby stuff of his I've kept. Ann
I love to read each and every comment and are thrilled that you take the time to send one. Thank you so much. Chania

Public Service and Other Announcements, on view at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from May 20 through August 3, 1997, brings together two decades of videos by artists using the formats of public service announcements or advertising. Many of the works were originally produced for broadcast or cable television. Some artists have employed these familiar forms to deliver information about pressing social issues such as racism, pollution and homelessness. Others devote the 30 to 60-second spots to exploring more personal subjects, including portraits of other artists and short performance pieces. A number of artists have chosen to subvert the conventions of PSAs and advertisements by reversing the camera to focus on TV viewers as subjects, or by satirizing the usual product promotions.
Artists whose works are featured in Public Service and Other Announcements include Laurie Anderson, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, Bill Viola, Stan Douglas, Gran Fury, Tom Kalin and Martha Rosler, among others. Programming in the Video Gallery, which is located in the Galleries of 20th-Century Art on the Museum's first floor, is made possible by the generous support of the Women's Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
