What Jordan Zimmermann's Injury Means For The Nats FutureAugust 11, 2009
Until the seventh game of the Jim Riggleman era, Nats fans had essentially nothing to cheer for besides Ryan Zimmerman's 30-game hitting streak, a few John Lannan gems, and some mammoth shots by Adam Dunn. The news in Nats Town recently has been dominated by the success of the team under Riggleman. Could baseball's most unlucky team finally see their rainbow at the end of the storm?
The offense was running like a well-oiled machine, churning out leads and comebacks as if they had been doing it all year. The starting rotation was keeping the team in the game most nights. The bullpen realized that they were not supposed to lose every game that they could. Everything was going right.
But this is the Nationals, everything can't go right for too long before the baseball gods realize what is going on.
Today, Dr. James Andrews' got back to the Nats and Jordan Zimmermann about his MRI, and Dr. Andrews did not like what the Nationals team doctors had seen either. Zimmermann will get a third opinion, but will almost definitely require Tommy John Surgery and be out for 18 months.
The Nats pitching staff has been loaded with young pitchers this season, but no pitcher besides John Lannan has shown as much promise and talent as Zimmermann.
The team recently drafted wunderkind, Stephen Strasburg, but they only have a week to meet Scott Boras' excessive demands. With the injury to J-Zimm, look for Boras to exploit the Nats desperate situation and try to drive up the price tag on Stephen.
Christian Guzman looked to be going to Boston; which would have cleared up $8 million dollars for next year, but he is going to stay put now.
Guzman staying put gives the Nationals just that much less money to deal with Strasburg, and with the loss of Zimmermann, the team will need another pitcher in the off season. Jason Marquis Rich Harden Eric Bedard and Ben Sheets are some options, but by signing Strasburg can you really see the Lerners opening their checkbook again?
This really isn't all that surprising, it sadly just comes with being a Nats fan.

Minnesota's future prosperity depends on the ability to ensure all children succeed early and often in childhood so they can become more productive adults. However, a new report, released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Children's Defense Fund –Minnesota (CDF-MN), shows Minnesota and the nation have much ground to cover so that all kids – especially children of color – are poised to thrive.
The KIDS COUNT® policy report, Race for Results: Building a Path to Opportunity for All Children, unveils the new Race for Results index, which compares how children are progressing on key milestones across racial and ethnic groups at the national and state level. KIDS COUNT is a national project of the Annie Casey Foundation and CDF-MN, a local grantee, compiles KIDS COUNT data for Minnesota children.
With the number of children of color in Minnesota growing rapidly, the concerns highlighted in the report show African-American, Latino, American Indian and some subgroups of Asian-American children are facing profound barriers to success and necessitate an urgent multi-sector approach to develop solutions.
Minnesota Child Population Growth by Race and Ethnicity, 2000-2010
Two or
more races
"Race for Results sheds light on the reality that for many Minnesota children, especially children of color, the path to success is steeper, and as a state we need to level the playing field for all children," said Peggy Flanagan, CDF-MN Executive Director. "Today's children will offer new ideas and opportunities that will improve our future, but only if Minnesota works hard to foster equal opportunities for all its children by investing in effective programs and policies that target specific populations and improve health, education and economic outcomes for families."
The index used in Race for Results is based on 12 indicators that measure a child's success at each stage of life, from birth to adulthood. The indicators were chosen based on the goals that all children should grow up in economically successful families, live in supportive communities and meet developmental, health and educational milestones. To easily compare results across the areas in the index, the indicators are grouped into four areas: early childhood, education and early work, family supports, and neighborhood context.
Overall, the index shows that in Minnesota and at the national level, no one racial group has all children meeting all milestones. The index uses a single composite score on a scale of one to 1,000; the higher the score, the greater the likelihood that children in that group are meeting milestones associated with success. Nationally Asian and Pacific Islander children have the highest index score at 776 followed by white children at 704, Latino children at 404, American-Indian children at 387, and African-American children at 345.
White children in Minnesota have the highest index score at 745, followed by Asian children at 646. The composite score for Asian children in Minnesota is the sixth lowest state score for Asian children in the country. Scores for Minnesota's other child populations --Latino (435), American Indian (334) and African American (360) -- are distressingly lower, and keep Minnesota near the bottom when compared to other states.
"When we compare data on health, education and economic outcomes for all Minnesota children, we often fare better than most states. But when we break the data down by race and ethnicity, Minnesota has some of the greatest disparities among children in the country," said Stephanie Hogenson, CDF-MN Outreach Specialist. "The Race for Results report provides us with a better understanding of where investments in early childhood education, access to health care and improved family economic stability are urgently needed so we don't lose one child to poor health, crime or poverty."
While there is not sufficient data available at the state level, the report finds that on the national level there are clear differences in the extent to which barriers to success exist for different subgroups of African-American, Latino and Asian children, including immigrant children in all subgroups. Although Asian-American children scored the highest on the national well-being indicators, children of Southeast Asian descent (Burmese, Hmong, Laotian, Cambodian and Vietnamese) face barriers on the pathway to economic stability. For Latinos nationwide, kids from Mexico and Central America face the biggest barriers to success and kids from South America scored highest on the index. African-American English speakers were more likely to meet grade-level proficiency in reading and math than African Americans who did not speak English, while African-American children in immigrant families were about twice as likely to live with two parents.
The report makes four policy recommendations to help ensure that all children and their families achieve their full potential:
• Gather and analyze racial and ethnic data to inform polices and decision making;
• Utilize data and impact assessment tools to target investments to yield the greatest impact for children of color;
• Develop and implement promising and proven programs and practices focused on improving outcomes for children and youth of color; and
• Integrate strategies that explicitly connect vulnerable groups to new jobs and opportunities in economic and workforce development.
CDF-MN asked community leaders in Minnesota to share their perspective on the report results and effective solutions to ensure all children have equal opportunity to achieve their potential. Find out what they said in our blog on the report.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation creates a brighter future for the nation's children by developing solutions to strengthen families, build paths to economic opportunity and transform struggling communities into safer and healthier places to live, work and grow. For more information, visit www.aecf.org. KIDS COUNT® is a registered trademark of the Annie E. Casey Foundation. In addition to the Race for Results Index , the Casey Foundation's KIDS COUNT Data Center has up-to-date and comprehensive national, state and local statistics on child wellbeing.
CDF-MN is the only policy organization in the state to focus solely on the needs of children. CDF-MN pays particular attention to the needs of our most vulnerable children — children of color, children from low-income families and children with disabilities. To achieve its goals, CDF-MN compiles research, helps connect families with public work support programs, implements high quality youth programs, and advocates for effective health, education, economic and social policies on behalf of the state's children.

Great idea! I may need to make one of these one day!

BOSTON — A Boston-area man, who was planning to kidnap children, lock them in a basement dungeon, rape and eat them, should be imprisoned for at least 27 years, federal authorities said in court documents filed this week.
The man, Geoffrey Portway, 40, pleaded guilty in May to distribution and possession of child pornography and solicitation to commit a crime of violence, according to court documents.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on September 17.
"Portway has pled guilty to some of the most vile and heinous crimes known to our society," federal prosecutors wrote in a sentencing recommendation.
Portway went by the moniker "Fat Longpig" during his online chats, according to court documents.
It was these chats that put Portway on the radar screen of police.
His home in Worcester was searched last year and authorities found tens of thousands of computer images and videos of child pornography, 4,500 exchanges of child pornography between Portway and the people he chatted with online. The images included children being cooked and prepared to be eaten, court documents said.
Authorities also found a locked basement, court documents show, that contained a child-sized coffin, a steel cage, a steel topped table, two freezers, disposable scalpels, butchering kits and castration tools.
Online chats, seized by police, showed Portway call his basement a "dungeon" where he intended to "keep kidnapped children while he sexually abused them and as a place to eventually murder and cannibalize the children."
Two other men who chatted with Portway have already been convicted.

One thing you'll find plenty of at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Auction is Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams from the late '70s. The same black-and-gold, "Smoky and the Bandit," screamin' eagle Trans Ams that beguiled so many adolescent gearheads in their day.
These flamboyant muscle cars have enjoyed a resurgence of late, moving away from disco-era kitsch and into the realm of bona fide collector cars. Not too many cars of that stylistic- and performance-challenged time have made the leap.
Click here for more coverage of the Barrett-Jackson auction from Speed.com
"The styling has endured for a long, long time," said admitted Pontiac addict Tom Knight of Albuquerque, N.M, as he eyed a 1976 Trans Am 50th Anniversary coupe. "I think there's been a resurrection now that Pontiac's dead."
Rick McLaughlin bought his first Trans Am when he was 21 and never looked back. (Photo: Bob Golfen)
Four of the classic Trans Ams for sale at Barrett-Jackson's three-day auction at Mandalay Bay were brought by one guy, Rick McLaughlin, who operates his own Pontiac Trans Am museum in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
"I bought my first new car when I was 21 years old, a 1978 gold Trans Am Special Edition," McLaughlin said. "I was hooked. These were the best-performing, best-handling cars of their era. I bought another new one in '79."
Since then, he's spent his life in the pursuit of primo-conditions Trans Ams, and he keeps a stable of at least 20 of them in his museum at all times.
"These are iconic cars, and we all know why," McLaughlin said, referring to the famed Burt Reynolds action movie where a black-and-gold Trans Am played a major role. "Yeah, he did a lot for my business."

Discover Gatlinburg's Only Certified Craft Moonshine Distillery, Doc Collier.
Looking for an original moonshine?
Here in Gatlinburg, TN on the Parkway at traffic light #3 is Doc Collier Moonshine Distillery. A certified craft moonshine distillery that uses Doc Collier's original recipe! Mr. Doc Collier, the man who is known to make the best moonshine in the Great Smoky Mountains! The Smokies has been part of his family for generations and generations.
His recipe includes corn, sugar, and pure English Mountain Spring Water. Till this day the moonshine makers at Doc Collier continue to use the original recipe, including English Mountain Spring Water! Doc Collier is the only craft distillery in town, which means their moonshine products are only available in Downtown Gatlinburg.
Seasonal. .
Along with Doc Collier's family recipe, The Heritage Shine, Doc Collier team has excelled in creating excellent moonshine flavors!
Recently in the summer of 2016, Doc Collier presented a delicious Sweet Tea moonshine flavor that needed no chaser. The only thing needed is a mason jar full of ice and maybe a slice of lemon to garnish. Last month Doc Collier announced their newest flavor, Spiced Apple Cider. This delicious moonshine flavor is served warm.
Hot moonshine? How could it be!
It's incredible! When the moonshine is warmed the natural spices that were added in the moonshine during the aging process balances the natural apple flavor completely. It is absolutely perfect for the cold winter nights. Another great seasonal flavor that was newly released is called Buckeye.
Doc Collier's recent moonshine seasonal flavor is Buckeye! A decadent sweet chocolate taste with a peanut butter finish. This amazing flavor goes great in the winter season. As the snow falls nothing is better to enjoy than a Chocolate Peanut Butter Martini! To make this delicious cocktail you would need:
- A martini glass
- Chocolate syrup
- Buckeye Moonshine
- Chocolate Liqueur
- Cream
- Peanut Butter Cup to Garnish
Peanut Butter Cup Martini: Take a chilled Martini glass drizzle chocolate syrup in the bottom and set aside. Take 2oz of Buckeye Moonshine, .75 oz chocolate Liqueur and cream in a shaker full of ice. Shake, strain, and serve. Garnish with peanut butter cup and enjoy!
Smooth Seasonal Flavors only last for the Season
Unfortunately all their seasonal moonshine flavors will come out only once for a short limited time period. The distillery's main focus is to continue to keep Mr.Doc Collier's tradition of making shine alive. Seasonal flavors are always made in small quantity because our moonshine makers focus on quality. Seasonal flavors will always be a fun thing for our moonshine makers to make and an exciting experience for the customers. You never know what will catch your taste buds attention.

fashion week: backstage at nicole miller for spring 2011.
backstage at nicole miller's spring/summer 2011 show was filled with dyi tips, thanks to the expert hands of makeup artist james kaliardos (MAC cosmetics) and hair stylist kevin ryan.
kaliardos enigmatically described the makeup as "catherine deneuve from umbrellas of cherbourg, except not 60s." ok. the look was punctuated by a beautiful silvery eye with a rich grey blended into the crease (using MAC's luna cream colour base and forgery eye shadow). kaliardos take-home tip? rather than using liner apply mascara at the roots of the outer corner of each eye for a softer, liner-y look.
hair was in a "effortless updo" - so effortless that kevin ryan was using forceps on the models at one point - marked by tying the hair in a series of knots and setting it with safety pins. as ryan quipped, "a lot of updos are held up by prayer, this one is held by pins and elastics." ryan's other favorite tricks? hairspray on the brush and oribe dry texturizing spray - his new favorite product.
and there's ms. miller herself through the front door - 1.5 hours before the start of the show and still needing to get her makeup done! welcome back, fashion week!

Hi, I've been reading with great interest how you fitted the Butterick 5283 twist top. I am barely a C, but probably need to do a fba to make view A fit me. I don't understand exactly what you did in your photograph that showed the pencil 3" from where? Could you explain please? Also, did you think it was better without two layers of fabric?
Thanks so much,

Hi Margaret. The pencil indicates how far I dropped the bust point and cutting point from its original position on the front of the top. So I brought the bust point and cutting point down by 3".
When I originally made the top with two layers I couldn't see that you only need one layer for the top because there's no diagram showing how you flip or twist the front piece over itself. I'll put a blog up to show you what I mean, because I hope pictures will illustrate this better. I'm also dying to do another twist top with this pattern.

It's a time for graduations and new beginnings, so I decided to go digging for advice. After some Internet surfing, I found a YouTube episode of the Vlogbrothers (the hugely popular vlog by brothers John and Hank Green). In this particular episode, bestselling author John Green was advising his hoards of mostly tween-age fans, called "Nerdfighters," to "study broadly and without fear." As I listened, I flipped through nearly two thousand of my iPhone memories from around the world this year, marveling at how well Green's advice applies to life after graduation.
I immediately clicked over to "performing philosopher" Jason Silva's most recent "shot of philosophical espresso," which is now a part of a web series called "Shots of Awe," hosted by Discovery on their new web station, TestTube. Silva starts the video with a definition of awe as "an experience of such perceptual vastness you literally have to reconfigure your mental models of the world to assimilate it." In the video, we see Silva in the woods talking about how humans are creatures of habit. "Once we create a comfort zone, we rarely step outside that comfort zone," Silva says. He describes brains that are already primed to map our habits and then tune out. By stepping away from our daily rituals and the safety of our routines, by "scrambling the self temporarily so the world can seep in," says Silva, we are "expand[ing] our perceptual parameters," and thus becoming alive to the world.
Writer William Gass takes Silva's awe a step further in his writing: "Once spread across the spaceless night and total nowhere of the soul, how shall the stars be got back through the skull and eye and scope into the sky again?" To this I say: How can we engage the stars if we never look up to see them?
I changed my path a few years ago. After much trepidation, breaking a firm connection with my comfort zone and ditching some deeply ingrained habits that mostly involved the word "can't," I returned to school as an older student at the New School for Public Engagement in New York City. It was the best decision I ever made. After I graduated this past year, I received a job offer to work for two months at a small media start-up on an island in Thailand. The idea of moving to Southeast Asia was terrifying to a girl who grew up in the Midwest, surrounded by the comfort of cornfields and imagined limitations. So for that very reason I took the job and flew to the other side of the world. I felt the voice of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke calling to me: "whoever you are: in the evening step out of your room, where you know everything; yours is the last house before the far-off: whoever you are."
I also felt Rilke's voice rippling outward to embrace the message of Lean In author Sheryl Sandberg's beautifully moving video montage asking female graduates, "What would you do if you weren't afraid?" If I weren't afraid, I'd step outside my comfort zone and explore.
Last fall I found myself living in a house in the jungle in Koh Samui, Thailand, with roommates from Poland, Egypt and London. I ate lunch on a paradise beach every day just a few steps from my office. I zipped along a Thai coastline on the back of a scooter, emerging from under an umbrella of palm trees, eyes open, enamored with the crisp water blues as they folded into the vastness of the sky. I watched the sunset from a reggae bar embedded in a rocky cliff during a thunderstorm. I stepped over tiny translucent baby geckos in my bedroom every morning and saw elephants on the back of trucks. I followed my roommate into a wildlife park deep inside the undergrowth at the center of the island and watched a monkey bite her in the face. I had a cocktail inside an ice freezer and listened to a Bob Marley cover band from a small round table in a Christmas-lit tree house.
When my work contract ended, I left Thailand and continued to study broadly. I slept inside the world's only "poem hotel" in Paris while following in the footsteps of famous writers along Montparnasse Boulevard and photographing the scenery in a perpetual state of wonder and awe. I participated in a happiness hackathon in London, danced on the beach in Turks and Caicos, and solemnly walked through Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam. I looked up to see the stars.
If I were to tell graduating students one thing, I would tell them this: the most important lesson I learned this year is that nothing is as scary as it seems. Everything and everywhere is worth exploring. Everyone's fears are different; identify yours and attempt to face them. Do what you love. Ask questions and always look for another angle and a new perspective, even if you have to fly thirty hours to the other end of the earth to find it. See and experience as much as you can and take the wise words of John Green to heart: "study broadly and without fear." And if the opportunity presents itself and you end up on the beach on some remote island on the other side of the planet, take a deep breath, look up at the stars, and let the world seep in.

Scandia: A full-bodied sans serif
Swapping angularity for lush curves, Scandia picks up where Scandia Line leaves off. If its sibling is the skeleton, then Scandia is the flesh. With a nod to the classic geometric sans serifs of the 20th-century, Scandia builds a steady rhythm across its four weights and matching italics to create a versatile family of fonts.
While developing Scandia, care was given to avoid simply wrapping curves around Scandia Line's primitive forms. Instead, it was used as a proportional guide before imagining curves and a different weight structure for what would become Scandia. The result is a functional and supportive sans that works equally well in a range of design environments: from image-heavy layouts to minimal, type-only treatments.
To complement the four primary styles, a stenciled variant modeled on the Bold weight has been added to the family. As you might expect, it's especially well-suited for display settings and identity work.
Scandia also includes a handful of alternate characters that can be found as an OpenType Stylistic Set. The sharp terminations of the A, M, N, V and W, as well as the lowercase v and w, add an extra pointy touch.
If you hadn't guessed by now, Scandia Line was designed first and served as the inspiration for Scandia. They're undeniably related but so distinct in both tone and page color that they were issued as separate font families. For those wishing to have both, they can be purchased together in a discounted Combo Pack.

Why FOG Management?
The EPA mandates a program be in place to help prevent the introduction of pollutants into a POTW that will interfere with operation, pass through the wastewater treatment plants, and improve water conditions for communities around the country. Tracking an FSE's hauling schedules, companies used to perform hauling, and hauling practices will greatly reduce the risk of SSO's and threats to toxic discharges into public water systems.
Provide BSI with an initial inventory of your FSE's (food service establishments) and their grease trap/interceptors. We will streamline your FOG processes, making your program much more efficient.
BSI will send a notification to FSE's informing them of hauling schedule for the year. Each notification is customizable with your logo and text, based on your requirements or code. More notifications can be sent based on your needs.
FSE's or haulers can enter our site to log the manifest information electronically….no more receiving reports on paper! BSI never purges your data so you are always available to view manifests on your FOG portal for any address in your inventory.
Each Municipality has personalized, secure, multi-user access to all test reports with real-time data. Once logged in, the user can search, sort, and export any data into an Excel spreadsheet making them GIS compatible. All non-compliant facilities can also be reviewed in real-time.
Our website is adaptable on any device, making it easy to access your FOG program anywhere! Whether you are out in the field for an inspection or at your desk, your data is available at your fingertips.

Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua.
After winning the Champions League with Chelsea last season, Drogba decided leave Stamford Bridge and pursue a new challenge, away from the Premier League. Drogba, 34, will join up with former team mate Nicholas Anelka in Asia, where it is reported that he will earn up to 25 million pounds throughout the duration of his contract.
"I have considered all the offers I have received in the past few weeks, but feel that Shanghai Shenhua FC is the right move for me at this time," the Ivory Coast captain said. "I am looking forward to a new challenge, to experiencing a new culture, and excited about the new developments in the Chinese Super League.
"When Chelsea went to China last year, we had a great time and I met some amazing fans. I hope to help promote Chinese football around the world and further improve the links between China and Africa."
Shanghai's cheif investor Zhu Jun also expressed his excitement over Drogbas imminent arrival. "We have been wanting to sign Didier for a while, and are very happy that it has finally happened," the video game guru said.
"He is an incredible player, who has won so many trophies in his career, we feel that his experience and ability will be a very valuable asset to our squad. Shanghai is one of the most influential cities in the world, and we are very excited to welcome Didier here."

Eyebright is popular flowering plant commonly used in herbal medicine. Eyebright (Euphrasia) gets its name from the plant's use in treating eye infections.
In the wild, Eyebright grows in alpine meadows and grassy places where snow is common in Bulgaria and Hungary. The plant flowers in late summer and autumn.
Eyebright isn't costly or rare, it often grows by the side of the road and it's available as a supplement at most health food stores and online stores like Lucky Vitamin.
Eyebright continues to be used for the topical treatment of eye inflammations, including conjunctivitis. Traditionally, a compress made from a decoction of eyebright is used to give relief from redness, swelling, and visual disturbances due to eye infections.
In addition, Eyebright tea is given internally along with the topical treatment. It has also been used for the treatment of eye fatigue and other disturbances of vision.
Always thought of it as a remedy for eye problems, Eyebright supplements may offer additional benefits. Studies have confirmed that regular supplementation can improve memory and herbalists have recommended eyebright for problems of the respiratory tract, including sinus infections, coughs, hay fever and sore throat.
Many herbalists believe that eyebright can help relieve the numerous symptoms associated with allergies. Eyebright contains many chemicals, including caffeic acid, which may explain the antibacterial effects.

More than 67,000 mobile phones will be stolen or lost during the Olympics, according to new research.
Security firm Venafi calculated that the Games represented the riskiest time to be a phone user in London's history.
They said that with an extra million people in the Tube and the total population of the city ballooning by a third, an additional 17,000 mobiles would be lost.
That's equivalent to about 214 terabytes of data.
The calculation was based on a 20,000 mobiles being lost or stolen in the UK each day.
Venafi warned that the impact of a lost phone can be worse than ever, now most are connected to email accounts, App Stores and other potentially costly services. The rise of 'bring your own device' policies at work also heightened the risk.
"There's been an explosion of corporate data available to users from their mobile devices. This is a real danger and one that is often overlooked," said Gregory Webb, Venafi Vice President of Marketing. "People don't consider or take action to protect the vast volumes of information they carry and have internet access to."
The Metropolitan Police have issued guidelines for London residents and spectators at the Games about how to stay safe and secure during the event.

The Relationship between Iranian EFL Teachers' Emotional Intelligence and Their Self-Efficacy in Language Institutes
Moafian, Fatemeh; Ghanizadeh, Afsaneh
System: An International Journal of Educational Technology and Applied Linguistics, v37 n4 p708-718 Dec 2009
The study reported in this paper was conducted to examine the relationship between Iranian EFL teachers' emotional intelligence and their self-efficacy in Language Institutes. To this end, 89 EFL teachers were selected from different Language Institutes in Mashhad, a city in north-east of Iran. The participants were asked to complete the "Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale" and the "Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire". Data analysis and statistical calculations revealed that there is a significant relationship between the teachers' emotional intelligence and their self-efficacy. To investigate which components of emotional intelligence might have more predictive power in predicting teacher's self-efficacy, regression analysis was run. Three subscales of emotional intelligence--emotional self-awareness, interpersonal-relationship, and problem solving--were found to be good predictors of teacher self-efficacy. The conclusions and implications of the research were discussed with reference to the earlier findings. (Contains 6 tables.)

Season 2015/16 is nearly upon us. Let's see what's new…
It seems that this year the world of ski has gone crazy for light weight gear and your style needs to get a little more backcountry-centric. Here at Ski-Lifts.com we're taking a look at whats new and giving you the chance to win some new kit!
There are certain equipment trends that define every new winter season, and based on an early preview of 2015/16 product offerings, lightweight, comfortable snow touring gear is in. The shift from performance-focused gear is a response to an industry with a rapidly growing interest in backcountry touring and mountaineering. Young skiers and snowboarders are turning their backs on chairlifts and instead heading off in search of untamed terrain, equipped with touring skis, split boards and skins.
2016 biggest trend is probably touring, the AT market is exploding. And finally, we're all embracing light (but skiable) gear. The tech binding has fully penetrated the market with more boots slated to come down the pipeline. This is best exemplified by all of the big mainstream brands such as Atomic and Salomon moving into this market.
With the established specialist brands, now being forced into direct competition with the better known companies, it is likely that we will very quickly see big reductions in price, coupled with big steps forward in development and technology. Win Win!
SKIS: We love Blizzard Zero G
If you thought a lightweight touring skis was beyond your grasp, think again. The Blizzard Zero G 95 Ski comes at a weight that will leave your legs feeling fresh at the top of the skintrack, but will still charge like a proper pair of Blizzards. With what Blizzard is calling Carbon Drive Technology, the Zero G uses both a 3D unidirectional carbon fiber frame and lightweight paulownia wood core to save on weight, and to guarantee fluid flex and torsional rigidity when you lay them on edge.
The versatile mid-width 95mm waist will carve down corn, hold an edge on bulletproof ice, and still float when there's some freshies to be had. Rocker in the tip and tail help with float, while a generous dose of camber underfoot inspires confidence in variable conditions. Like all Blizzard skis, the Zero G's maintain a durable and stable sandwich sidewall construction, which boasts some of the best binding retention ratings in the industry.
- Rockered tip and tail, camber underfoot
- Sandwich construction
- Compound sidewalls
- Carbon Drive technology
- Flip Core technology
- Paulownia wood core
- 95mm underfoot
APPAREL: We love the Animal Zermatt Jacket
While more and more hardgoods companies are pushing their own outerwear lines (Faction, Marker, Black Diamond, etc.), more and more outerwear companies are innovating clever little tricks to make jackets and pants more backcountry-centric.
We particularly like the zermatt jacket by Animal as it has ergonomically placed lining materials to ensure heat stays in all the key areas, but is released where needed. The fabrics have been carefully selected to ensure functionality is key but that you'll look super styled too.
The Zermatt Jacket has zips under the armpits (pit zips) and around the thigh area, so heat can be 'dumped' allowing for a cooler ride. This intelligent garment has taped seams to maximise waterproofing in areas which are more likely to develop a moist build-up such as the hood, neck and shoulders.
We have one of these awesome jackets to win, see bottom of page for competition details.
Product available from www.animal.co.uk from September '15
WOMEN: Lets hear it for the girls
Over the past few seasons more and more companies have been designing gear exclusively for women. Spark R&D brought out a women's-specific splitboard binding, and Dakine rolled out an update to their popular Heli Pro pack line that was more anatomically matched to a women's torso. DPS now offer several smaller lengths skis from their popular high performance men range, and other companies like ON3P have been making a women's line out of their regular men's molds, and then simply lightening up the build a bit.
For season 2015/26 women can look forward to more thoughtfully designed gear, along with a wider selection of burlier hard goods in their size. YIPEE!
COMPETITION: Your Chance to win this super cool Zermatt Jacket from Animal
We have hooked up with the guys at Animal to bring this competition exclusively to you.
To be in with a chance of winning this truly awesome Zermatt jacket simply answer the following question:
Q. The famous ski touring route, 'The Haute Route' takes you from Chamonix to which resort in Switzerland?
Please send your answer by email to email@example.com
The competition closes at 12:00 CET on Friday 18th September and the winner will be chosen at random from the correct answers. The winner will be announced on the Ski-Lifts Facebook page at that time.

Cherry Hill Seminary is working steadily towards our goal of becoming an accredited seminary. In the United States educational accreditation is a peer review process coordinated by accreditation commissions and the members. Accreditation requirements vary, but are generally quite stringent, going beyond standards for state licensure. The process is costly and can be expected to take several years to complete. Programs must run for at least three consecutive years before application.
Why is accreditation important? It is the standard method by which an outside evaluation team reviews an organization using a consistent set of standards. Students attending an accredited school may be eligible for student loans. Those who earn a Master of Divinity will be eligible to apply to become a chaplain in our armed forces. Accreditation as an outside, unbiased verification of our quality will encourage talented faculty to teach for Cherry Hill Seminary. Most importantly, prospective students will be assured that they are investing in their future with an institution of worth.
We plan to apply for accreditation from the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), a non-profit educational accreditation agency in the United States specializing in the accreditation of distance education institutions. DETC was established in 1926 and is recognized by Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the United States Department of Education as an accreditor of institutions of higher education. DETC standards are congruent with those of the S.C. Commission on Higher Education, under whose authority Cherry Hill Seminary falls.
Many times we are asked if our degrees are legal; the answer is yes. However, degree-granting authority is different from accreditation. Such licensing by the state ensures that a school has met at least minimum requirements for the degree being offered, and allows for the professional oversight of a state higher education commission. Most states, however, exempt religious or theological training from licensing. The State of South Carolina Commission on Higher Education has granted this exemption to Cherry Hill Seminary.
Although as an institution whose sole purpose is religious or theological training that originates in the State of South Carolina, Cherry Hill Seminary is exempt from oversight of the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education, our goal is voluntarily to meet the same standards for licensure that would be required of a non-religious school.
That means that the education you will receive at Cherry Hill Seminary in your master's program today is legal, it is intellectually challenging, it will open you up to new paths of spiritual growth, and it is one that will fully provide you with the tools you need for Pagan, Earth-based and interfaith ministry.
We are also often asked if we will ordain our students; we do not. Individuals who wish to serve their communities as a minister come to Cherry Hill Seminary for their education. A specific religious group may choose to endorse and affirm someone as a minister through ordination.
Finally, we are often asked how long it will take to become accredited. The full standards are posted at the DETC link given above. At this time, our main challenges are due to funding, though we have made huge strides in our programs and staffing.
Is there a way for you to help us move forward with this goal? Definitely! The most effective ways to help us include: a) being a student; b) bringing in other students; c) making a contribution each year; d) asking others to contribute; and e) telling everyone you possibly can about the treasure that is Cherry Hill Seminary.

Clamp Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV)
Egemin designs and produces automatic guided vehicles equipped with a clamp handling device to handle unpalletized loads, boxes, rolls, etc. These loads are handled, lifted, and transported with delicacy and flexibility.
Flat clamp AGVs
Flat clamp (also known as Carton Clamp) automated guided vehicles are used for transport and lifting of loads that are not stored on pallets. Generally, these vehicles are utilized for slipsheet loads of paper products, cereals or grains, or other materials that have a low density.
The clamps and accurate positioning mechanism make sure the loads are not damaged during transport and lifting. Flat clamp AGVs are the ideal solution for block storage and deep-lane stacking of boxes in floor storage warehouses. Vehicles can be designed to carry. pick, or drop two unpalletized loads stacked on top of one another at the same time.
Roll clamp AGVs
Roll clamp automated guided vehicles are equipped with hydraulic roll clamps to lift, rotate and stack rolls for the paper & printing industries, plastics and steel processing. The possibility to rotate rolls during transport saves considerable cost, space and time compared to roll clamp vehicles from other suppliers.
AGVs with stabilizing clamps
Forklift AGVs can also be equipped with stabilizing clamps. These clamps are not used to lift the load but to hold the load during transport and provide load stability. Stabilizing clamps can be particularly useful for single-fork automatic guided vehicles that handle various-sized loads and for transportation of tall or light-weight loads.

Bill Ward: Vietnam Veteran Finds a Perfect Partner in Veterans United Home Loans
Mesa, Arizona — Bill Ward has spent his life fighting for others.
The Arizona native, who grew up on the White Mountain Apache Reservation, served with the 1st Signal Battalion during the 1968 Tet Offensive. He endured some of the bloodiest fighting of the Vietnam War before finishing his tour stateside in 1970.
Upon his discharge, Bill returned to the Pacific Northwest, where he had moved shortly before being drafted. He took a job with the Bonneville Power Administration near Portland, Oregon, and spent the next three decades in the power industry.
Bill used the state's unique home-purchasing program for veterans to buy his first place in the late 1970s. He soon became a fixture in the community, serving on the county planning commission, the local city council and other civic organizations.
Bill also championed veterans issues and was elected as chairman of Oregon's Department of Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee. He played a key role in bringing to his community the first veterans' home in the state.
After nearly 30 years, Bill retired from the BPA in 2001 and started his own power consulting business. He loved the freedom despite the long hours. But his second career came to a frightening halt in 2004 after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Treatment proved successful, but Bill decided his working days were behind him.
He devoted himself to a new cause: Promoting cancer awareness and early detection and treatment, especially among American Indians.
He became involved with the Native Peoples' Circle of Hope, a national coalition of American Indian cancer support groups. Representatives from the prestigious Mayo Clinic saw one of his cancer presentations and asked him to serve as an advocate on their prostate cancer board.
Heading Home
While he loved his time in Oregon, the Southwest always exerted a distant pull. By 2010, Bill was ready to return home to live near family and long-time friends. He went online to learn more about VA loan eligibility and found the website for Veterans United Home Loans.
The VA Loan Guaranty program allows qualified service members to purchase a home worth up to $424,100 (and even more in high-cost areas) without a down payment. VA loans typically feature lower rates and more buyer-friendly terms than conventional financing.
Bill filled out an online form and soon received a call from Veterans United loan officer Janeanne Stephens.
She found a prospective borrower who was truly prepared for the purchasing process.
Bill already knew his credit score and came in with a budget — and a maximum price — firmly in hand. He had already scouted homes in Mesa online and established a great sense of the market in that area.
"You have to know yourself and your financial position before you start buying a house," Bill said. "Janeanne is very direct; I'm very direct. We communicated extremely well."
Janeanne explained the loan preapproval and VA purchasing processes. She also connected Bill to local Realtor Pam Olmstead through Veterans United Realty, a network of more than 1,400 real estate agents nationwide who specialize in helping veterans and active duty military members purchase homes. Borrowers who purchase a home using a VUR Realtor receive up to $500 after closing.
Bill conveyed his price range and his needs to Pam, who was able to narrowly tailor his home search, which Bill conducted exclusively online. He pored over the applicable listings until a three-bedroom ranch caught his eye.
Serving Those Who Serve
Bill put in an offer on the home but the seller stalled. Instead of panicking, Bill simply moved forward with his home search. After a week of stewing, the seller brought his price down $6,000. Bill pounced and closed on the home in late October 2010.
Bill didn't have to pay the required VA Funding Fee because of a service-connected disability and spent just a couple hundred dollars up front.
As a veteran familiar with organizational bureaucracy, Bill was surprised by the efficiency of the team at Veterans United.
"They were faster than I expected them to be," he said. "This was quick and clean and very professional. I wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again. They got a satisfied customer."
Bill said he's already received calls from competing companies pushing refinance loans. Janeanne told him Veterans United would match any offer he considers.
"Why would I go anyplace else?" Bill said. "I know the people I'm dealing with; I trust them. You guys truly take care of the veteran. We served you and the country, and you really serve us."

What Does The Law Say About This? Wife Accuses Ex-NBA Player Husband Of Stealing From Joint Account
Kendra Rae Davis is calling it quits from her 19-year marriage with former NBA player Antonio Davis. And she's had it with the ex-Chicago Bull player blowing through hundreds of thousands of dollars from their joint account, TMZ reports.
Kendra, a former interior designer for Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak, filed for divorce back in June. It was in July, Kendra claims, that Antonio pulled out $133,510 from their joint funds. Antonio also allegedly took out $563,041 to buy himself a new house.
According to TMZ, Antonio rebuffed Kendra's claims of theft in a letter, essentially saying, "… the house purchase was in the works before divorce papers were filed, so tough."
Nonetheless, Kendra expects Antonio to return the loot and pay her legal bills.
"[W]e wonder how much of that money came from his NBA contract and how much of it she actually earned herself?" Bossip asked. Although it's questionable whether Kendra, an Atlanta resident, earned the money Antonio withdrew from their bank account, but that's irrelevant since Georgia divorce law states:
Even if one of the partners never earned one dollar, that partner is considered to have contributed to the family's property (or wealth) and has rights to a percentage of that property.
According to a source from Forbes, a spouse can withdraw any amount of cash from the joint account only prior to any legal proceedings. But after the divorce papers are filed, "certain restraining orders kick into place," Kelly Chang, an LA divorce attorney, said.
"As to the amount it is wise to withdraw [after legal proceedings], Chang notes that 'technically, if it's community [property], then you can withdraw up to 50%… the problem is, the other spouse may have reimbursement claims, etc., and because there is a restraining order, you may run into problems if you have a vindictive ex,'" the magazine says.
Chang would've told Antonio to "withdraw any and all funds you deem necessary prior to filing a divorce. That way you don't run into any problems with violating court orders and such." If Antonio blew more than half of their joint funds, Kendra may have a case here.

The unique social mechanics of China's mobile landscape present a strong potential for our games.
Berlin, Germany (PRWEB) December 05, 2013
Game developer ByteRockers' Games and their China partner Smartions today announced the exclusive launch of mobile title Magic Beanie in China. The two companies co-created a fully localized and culturally adapted version of the game targeted towards China's booming app market, including the enhancement of monetization mechanics as well as the implementation of Chinese payment and social sharing interfaces.
Now available on Chinese Android app stores, Magic Beanie, a beautiful 3D endless runner game that follows a cheeky caterpillar munching up a magical beanstalk, is the first China release for ByteRockers' Games working in partnership with Smartions. Having recognized the potential of China's rapidly-expanding mobile industry, game developer ByteRockers' Games turned to China mobile gaming experts Smartions who were able to offer unique access to the world's biggest app market.
With the release of Magic Beanie in China, ByteRockers' Games took the first step in entering the Chinese mobile gaming market: "The massive mobile market in China was clearly somewhere we wanted to be: the huge gaming audience as well as the unique social mechanics of China's mobile landscape present a strong potential for our games, which are built around the principle of sharing gaming experience with friends", said Martin Knauf, CEO at ByteRockers' Games. "Since China was an attractive, but also largely unknown market for us, we decided to start cooperation with Smartions. The guys did a great job on the adaption, localization, and promotion, and I am really looking forward to seeing further growth of our game in China."
With offices in Berlin and Suzhou, Smartions is a specialist in bringing foreign games to China. "Through our game teams in Europe and China, we deal with the challenges on behalf of or partners and take care of China market entry strategy as well as mobile game adaptation and publishing to ensure that the games Smartions China release are positioned for success in the world's largest mobile market. We were very pleased to have been able to work so closely with ByteRockers' Games on the China launch of Magic Beanie."
Patrick and his team see a strong potential for ByteRockers' Games in China. "Magic Beanie's gameplay is both engaging and challenging and we gave particular focus to enhancing the monetization mechanisms and social integration within the game, allowing players to individually customize their characters and share their achievements on China's most popular social networks - which increases reach, and drives viral growth".
Further cooperation between ByteRockers' Games and Smartions on other game titles are planned for the future.
Smartions is the mobile publisher Launchpad to China, enabling foreign mobile game developers to monetize their games in the Chinese market. With offices in Berlin (Germany) and Suzhou (China) and an experienced team with deep knowledge of the Chinese gaming market, Smartions offers a one-stop-solution for the technical and cultural adaptation, localization, promotion, and distribution of western games in China. For more information, visit: http://www.smartions.net.
Founded in 2008, ByteRockers' Games is an independent game development studio based in Berlin.

For more information, visit http://www.byterockers.de.
Now available on Chinese Android app stores, Magic Beanie is beautiful 3D endless runner game that follows a cheeky caterpillar munching up a magical beanstalk. Before transforming into the most wonderful and luminous butterfly, Magic Beanie ("豆豆" in Chinese) the caterpillar must eat as many magical leafs as possible, which give him the power to individually change his appearance when he emerges from his cocoon as a vibrant butterfly. By obtaining magic beans, players can unlock new colors, animal-like patterns, accessories, and protection helmets for Magic Beanie's hazardous journey. These items enable players to apply thousands of different character customizations to create their own unique caterpillar and share different designs with friends. But beware!

According to The New York Times, the proliferation of texting among teenagers "is beginning to worry physicians and psychologists." I thought they were referring to the recent explosion of 'sexting? incidents in the media, but these medical professionals were talking about stuff that was far more mundane ? and even more likely to put parents into nagging mode.
The doctors apparently are concerned that all of that the messaging induces anxiety, distraction in school, falling grades, sleep deprivation, and repetitive stress injuries.
For many parents, when they hear about teens sending around naked pics, it inspires a serious talk. Maybe some a mandatory viewing of some sort of afterschool special. Or, if the kids are lucky, a case of denial, å la ?MY daughter would never do that.? But with this kind of fear mongering, it just gives another reason for moms and dads across America to freak out about their kids? texting behavior.
Don't get me wrong ? In some ridiculously extreme cases, texting probably could be detrimental to people (not just kids). But, come on! It always seems like the establishment freaks out a little whenever something new arrives on the scene. It happened with rock and roll. (Fer cryin? out loud, it happened with The Waltz a couple hundred years ago. Here's your history lesson: Back then, the squares were upset because couples actually had to embrace each other to do the steps. They thought it was dirty and unseemly.) It also happened at the advent of TV, as well as the personal computer.
Now it's texting's turn, I guess.
If I were a parent, I?d probably be more concerned about my kid's social skills waning. I recently saw a couple of kids texting on a park bench in New York City. What's scary is that they were sitting right next to each other and texting ? well, each other.
As far as the article goes, there was one point I was actually intrigued by this part:
Psychologists expect to see teenagers break free from their parents as they grow into autonomous adults, Professor Turkle went on, ?but if technology makes something like staying in touch very, very easy, that's harder to do; now you have adolescents who are texting their mothers 15 times a day, asking things like, ?Should I get the red shoes or the blue shoes?? ?
Really? I posted this item about a kid who texted 14,528 messages, and I bet most of them weren't to her father. (She's limited to 5,000 messages a month now, poor thing.)
This NYT passage above suggests that the new apron strings between kids and parents is made of texts. I find it hard to believe, but hey ? I've seen stranger things. What do you think? Are kids actually staying in touch with parents too much?

SANTA BARBARA — Fireworks, sailboat races, music and dancing will greet the Sagafjord on Thursday when the Cunard liner, on a cruise from Canada to the Caribbean, makes its first stop here.
Early in this century Santa Barbara was a regular stopping point for passenger ships, and up to the end of the 1920s steamers routinely docked at Stearns Wharf.
The Sagafjord is due to anchor at 4 p.m., to be greeted by a fireboat salute, the mayor with a proclamation and a wine-tasting party on the wharf. Sightseeing, dinner and fireworks are scheduled before its midnight departure.
The stop is one on a cruise that leaves Vancouver, B.C., today, arrives in Los Angeles on Friday and continues on through the Panama Canal to the Caribbean.
