Private Classic-Car Sales Soar Past $100 Million Mark
byA Ferrari 250 GTO being offered for $20 million is set to boost private classic-car sales that have already made $100 million in 2010, dealers said.
The 170 mph 1963 Ferrari is billed as the world's ultimate sports car by Canadian-based specialists RM Auctions, which is selling it on behalf of a Japanese collector.
Classic cars often fetch higher prices through discreet transactions than they do at auction. Private sales for high- value classic vehicles topped $117 million worldwide within the last two months, said the Geneva-based adviser Simon Kidston.
"People now realize that prices have bottomed out," Kidston said in an interview. "The market is buoyant for truly exceptional motor cars. Elsewhere it remains selective."
The Ferrari was one of 36 produced by the Italian company in 1962 to 1963. The model won its division of the World Sports Car Championship in 1962, 1963 and 1964 and was voted by Motor Trend Classic magazine the "Greatest Ferrari of All Time." Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason is among the car's celebrity owners.
"Most people recognize the GTO as the most valuable and desirable of Ferraris," said James Cottingham, a director in the Hertfordshire-based dealers DK Engineering, which specializes in the marque.
Another example, with an asking price of $28 million, was sold privately in the U.S. within the last three months, said Cottingham. "That car had a particularly good originality, provenance and race history."
Desirable Bodywork
The privately-sold Ferrari GTO featured the original Series I bodywork, while the RM example has the slightly later, less desirable Series II design, said dealers.
A U.K. collector recently privately sold a 1930s Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 sports car for 12 million pounds ($17.9 million), said Kidston. A Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, sold by RM for 9 million euros ($12.2 million at the time) in May 2009, holds the record for any car offered in a public salesroom.
"We have some interest, though nothing is definite yet," Max Girardo, managing director of RM Europe, said in an interview. "A couple of collectors are flying over to see the car, which shows they're serious. These things take time."
The current owner acquired the car in 1996 and is selling because he has become too old to race, Girardo said.
Owners of these vehicles give themselves the opportunity to enter classic-car competitions, dealers said.
Mille Miglia
The buyer of a 1937 BMW 328 racer would earn automatic entry into the amateur restaging of the Mille Miglia in Italy. The open-road endurance race was abandoned after 30 years as a professional event in 1957 after 15 people died in a crash.
RM Auctions' May 1 inaugural sporting classics sale in Monaco will include the BMW that won the 2.0-liter class in the 1938 Mille Miglia. The privately owned car, which is fresh to the auction market, carries an unpublished estimate between 6 million euros and 8 million euros, said RM.
Although recognized as a rare car — fewer than 200 BMW 328s are thought to have survived of the 426 examples made between 1936 to 1939 — the valuation is a new price level for a BMW, said dealers. None of the German manufacturer's cars has sold for $1 million at auction, they said.
"BMW have always made fine motor cars," said Kidston. "They don't have the euphoric fascination of Ferrari."
Bonhams sold another BMW 328, lacking a race history, for a record 442,000 euros at an auction in Monaco in May 2008, said the company's London-based specialist Sholto Gilbertson.
An auction of 50 classic cars will be held at Bonhams in Oxford, U.K., on March 6. The company's first U.K.-based car auction of 2010 will include a 1956 Bentley S1 Continental Sports Saloon, valued at 150,000 pounds to 180,000 pounds. The Bentley S1 was an example of a mid-market classic car that had held its value, said Gilbertson.
The auction is expected to raise between 1 million pounds and 1.3 million pounds from 50 cars. Last year the event achieved a mid-estimate 968,493 pounds with all but one of the 40 offered cars finding buyers.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
I know in speaking to other English teachers within the building, our high school students typically hate studying Shakepeare. They feel that it is too dry and boring. In turn, I have always been hesitant to read Shakespeare with my English students, since they are special needs students - I've always felt the material would be too difficult for them to understand. But reading the play and viewing the discussion has given me a new awareness of the play Hamlet. I can now see it deals with universal problems such as family conflicts, expectations of others, parents relationships with new partners. In context, if students are able to make this connection they would be able to gain better understand and enjoy the material. This discussion was very interesting and really made me think about the material in a variety of new ways.

Swanton, also a member of the Postal Curling hall of fame, says he hasn't curled in a while, but is raring to get on the ice to help launch the event.
Teams from each province are participating in the 2012 classic, running to April 7.
A different host city is chosen each year.

Re: Troubleshooting Perl CGI scriptsby danmcb (Monk) |
on Aug 23, 2005 at 10:36 UTC ( #485865=note: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
That's a pretty good list. I would add some things that I have also found helpful : 1. If you are working on a script of any complexity, modularise. Split functionality out into other modules that don't depend on CGI environment, the CGI itself just instantiates an object, passes it the CGI object, and calls "print" (for example) on that object to produce the output. The great advantage of this is that you can now run a seperate test script on your module (using Test::Simple for instance) and get the complex stuff working right, method by method before worrying about the CGI part. (Some people like fancy names for this kind of thing, I quite like "common sense".) (This may also have an advantage that moving to mod_perl later (if you want to) will be easier. So I'm told. Don't know yet because I haven't gotten there ...) 2. If you have a lot of HTML, use a template package like Mason or FastTemplate. Get the HTML out of your code and life will start to get easier. You will also reduce the number of bugs you bring in due to making small changes in the way your application looks.

No guests this week, but there's still plenty of HD related topics to talk about. Of course that includes 3D, but after that we had time to discuss a new Blu-ray player from Oppo, future possibilities for digital distribution and exactly what we're expecting from NBC's costly Winter Olympics coverage. After that the talk turns to the legal aspects of the latest action from the FCC, and Microsoft's patent infringement lawsuit. We wrap things up with an evaluation of DirecTV's multiroom beta, and just what happened to all the hype over connected HDTVs in 2010.

Short getaway to UBUD, Bali
I just returned from a short 5 days getaway to Ubud, Bali. This is my 6th time to bali and still loving it. It is just awesome to be surrounded by nature and lush gardens, great way to unwind. I must make special mention of the food in Ubud. Not only was it inexpensive, the food and desserts were very well prepared and cooked. Hence all that feasting and very easy to have more than 5 meals a day. You can see more of my sketches here.

Difference between revisions of "Split"
Revision as of 22:13, 6 May 2013Split is a city in Central Dalmatia, Croatia. The city was originally built around the Diocletian palace (a palace/fort built for the retired Roman emperor Diocletian) where the locals sought refuge centuries ago. Wandering the historic centre of Split you can still clearly see the Roman walls, squares, and temples. ContentsUnderstandBecause of its ideal climate, with 2,800 hours of sunlight each year, local people have a few nicknames for Split: "The most beautiful city in the world" and "Mediterranean flower". Many famous Croatian sports people are born in Split, so locals often nicknamed their city as "The sportiest city in the world". The most popular sport institution is the football club Hajduk. The whole city is painted with the club's colors and logo. This is done by Torcida, the oldest supporters group in Europe, established in 1950. Beside bell tower of St. Duje, the symbols of city are the Dalmatian dog and a donkey. Locals have a high place for the donkey because of its past indispensable place in field work and transport across Dalmatian mountains. Winters in Split are generally mild, with temperatures above 0°C, but despite the popular saying that the city experiences snowfall once every 30 years, there is actually at least one snowy day nearly every winter, usually in January or early February. If you find yourself in Split on a day with significant snowfall, expect serious traffic disruption. Get inBy planeSplit Airport (IATA: SPU) (ICAO: LDSP) [1] is, after Zagreb Airport, the most important in Croatia. Scheduled services fly to major European cities, with summer charter flights from more. The airport is about 25 km west from Split, near the city of Trogir. It has free WiFi internet. Airport buses run from the terminal to the city and stop at the eastern end of 'Riva'. A single ticket costs 30 kn. Local buses run from the road outside the terminal -- walk through the parking lot and go to the bus stop on the other side of the road. Bus number 37 runs about every 30 min and costs 16 kn (tickets are bought from the bus driver). Bus 37 does not take you all the way to the historical centre and you need to switch to bus 9 or 10, or just walk about a kilometre along the major road that runs by the bus stop (stops for buses 9 and 10 are also by this road). In addition, a small fraction of the departures from Split main bus station to Trogir on work days use the road next to the airport. In the on-line timetables [2] search for ZRAČNA L.-AIRPORT (but take into account that the timetable is not necessarily 100% correct). Going to the airport, onboard the bus tell the conductor that you want a stop at the airport. A shuttle bus run by Pleso Transport Company [3] operates between the airport and the city centre. If you ask locals for directions they will automatically point you towards this bus, but beware if you are travelling with another airline then this bus schedule is a bit irrelevant. A single ticket costs 30 kn (about €4). As of April 2010, it appears as if the shuttle bus meets all scheduled arriving flights even those not from Croatia Airlines. When exiting the terminal go to your right and you should see the buses. The bus stops at the central bus station by the port at a dedicated stop with an "AIRPORT" sign. For an up-to-date schedule, ask at a Tourist Information Centre. Taxis will also take you into town. A taxi to Split centre (ferry port or Diocletian's Palace) takes a bit over 30 min and costs about 270 kn on the meter, though most drivers will agree on 220 if asked in advance. If your transfering to a ferry tell the driver the ferry departure time so he can rush if neccesary. If leaving Split by plane, be careful to plan the journey to the airport in advance, as local buses don't run before 5 AM or after midnight. Flights to and from Belgrade, Serbia were reintroduced in June 2012 after a 21-year hiatus. As of July there are four flights per week. As expected, there is massive demand for these planes, so book with Croatia Airlines [4] or Jat Airways [5] well in advance in order to get a cheaper ticket. If you are seated next to the window, you can catch a magnificent glimpse of Sarajevo from 21,000 feet. By trainSplit train station is right in the city centre, it is a few minutes walk from the port and from the old town. Expect very friendly grannies to be waiting with signs saying "Sobe" (rooms) at all arrivals and they will jump on anyone with a backpack. The train station is rather basic, because train travel is not much used to Split. Trains run between Split and Zagreb, Split and Perković (where you can change for Šibenik). Timetables can be found from Croatian Railways website [6]. Trains are generally slower but slightly cheaper than buses in all of Croatia. Trains to Perković through the picturesque valley/village of Primorski Dolac depart 5 times a day and stop in every station taking 1 hr exactly to do the journey. This is a very picturesque journey to make, and although Perković is simply a collection of houses you could get off and have a coffee or go for a walk in the hills before returning to Split. Connecting Trains leave Perković for Šibenik several times a day, and should be marked on the timetable in Split station. By busFrequent buses run to and from Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Sibenik, Zadar, Rijeka etc. There are also regular buses to and from Mostar and Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (210 kn), Belgrade (Serbia), Trieste (Italy) and major cities of Germany and Austria. You can get detailed information on [AK Split [7]] about departure and arrival times. In the summer season there are more lines then off-season, for example in June-July-August, daily night buses to Banja Luka and Gradiska, north of Bosnia, as well as buses to Niš, Serbia twice a week. On most intercity buses you pay a fee for luggage. This fee of about €0.5-€1 per piece of luggage is paid to the driver upon boarding. Some drivers are rather picky about being paid in exact change in the correct currency (sometimes a local currency, at other instances requesting to be paid in Euros) and sometimes also refuse to be paid in too small coins. So keep some change ready. Local buses run to and from Trogir and Solin. Regular bus from Budapest, Hungary Budapest Split Bus By boatFerries run three times a week across the Adriatic to and from Ancona and Pescara (Italy). There is also a large ferry that runs twice a week up and down the coast between Dubrovnik and Rijeka, stopping off at a couple of islands along the way. Split is the main hub for local boats and hydrofoils in Central Dalmatia. Several a day run to and from Brac, Hvar, Solta, Vis, Korčula and Lastovo.
Get aroundCentral Split is quite compact and most sights can be easily seen and best experienced on foot, but there are frequent local buses to outlying attractions and the airport. By car
By busPublic transit is organized by Promet [23]. Most of the city buses in Split are new, but some are very old and dilapidated. Tickets can be bought at kiosks or from the bus driver. Only single-journey tickets can be bought in buses.
When you board the bus you must validate your ticket in the yellow machine or give it to the driver for validation. By bike
Rent a bike and enjoy beautiful biking along Split's waterfront (Riva), continue to Marjan hill (approximately 7 km), climb to the top of the hill for great view on the Split town and surrounding islands. You can bike to the east side, along the coast to nearby village of Stobrec. Another great option from Split is to take a day tour to nearby islands of Solta, Brac, Hvar or Vis. You can take the bike on a regular ferry (they leave approximately every couple of hours in the summer season) and bike along quite roads and charming villages, explore great beaches and restaurants and return in the evening to Split! Older but rideable mountain bikes are available for 15 kn/hour (March 2012) at the northern entrance to Marjan hill (near Mandalinski put). New bikes for rental in Split area fare prices.

SailingThere are lots of companies running boats, such as Busabout, Topdeck and Contiki. The majority of sailing charters start from the city of Split. There are many charter agencies where you can charter a sailing or motor yacht which are based in Split. Most of them operate from ACI marina Split, marina Zenta or marina Spinut. There are also many charter agencies based in marina Kastela which is based in the vicinity of Split. When you charter a yacht through a charter agency and arrive to the designated marina there are a few things that need to be done. The most important thing is the yacht check in (usually Saturday around 4PM). Take your time doing yacht check in. Familiarise yourself with the chartered yacht and with the yacht equipment. The rule of thumb is the more time you take for the yacht check in, the less time you will need for the yacht check out. After that you have to do the shopping for the charter vacation. Don't neglect the groceries shopping because the sea is unpredictable and you don't want to get stuck on the boat without sufficient provisions of food and drink. You can do the shopping in a marina although the prices are usually much higher there, or you can order from yacht provisioning services who usually deliver the products to the marina at no extra fee.

EatThe most famous local delicates is Soparnik. It originates from nearby Poljica region (formerly known as Poljička Republika or Republic of Poljica). It is a dough filled with mangold vegetable and baked on fireplace. On top comes olive oil and garlic. You can find it on Pazar (green market). Italian influences dominate on Croatia's coast, amongst the best are; Risotto with tender white scampi or black calamari, a dish beloved by all Croatians. A wide selection of salumi, magnificent Istrian and Dalmatian hams (Dalmatinski pršut - comparable to Parma or Speck) and cheese from the island of Pag, are well worth trying, as are the large varieties of excellent Croatian wines and beers. Do not miss Dalmatian pašticada s njokama (Gnocchi). Please note; in a world suffocating under the weight of processed foods, Croatia's coastal cuisine is unique in that most of its produce is organic. Ćevapi or Ćevapčići (diminutive), are small grilled rolls of minced beef, pork, or lamb, or a combination of any of these three. Usually served with chopped onions, Kajmak (similar to clotted cream) or Ajvar (a relish made from bell peppers, aubergines, garlic and chilli). Ćevapi are traditional Bosnian dish and they are popular across the Balkans. Split's eateries are to be found in a variety of settings, ranging from the romantic to the vibrant. It isn't difficult to enjoy superb food and wine in a classical environment with good friends and/or family. Plenty of fast food joints between the Old Town and the bus station.
DrinkDalmatia is well known for its world class wines, but when in Split it is a must to try soda drinks called Pipi and Orela, produced by local beverage manufacturer Dalmacijavino [30]. Lots of outdoor cafés are to be found along the Riva seafront.
NightclubsThere are many clubs on Bačvice beach.
SleepThere is a wide variety of private accommodation available in Split, as well as a few hostels. Some of the best prices can probably be obtained by going to the bus station or ferry terminal and haggling with the many people there offering accommodation - even fairly late at night, there are still many people offering beds.

Stay safeDo not go to striptease bars because they are a tourist trap. ContactInternet accessThere are internet cafés in the old centre of the city
There are several more Internet cafés by the harbour just north of the train station. One provides Ubuntu Linux.
There is free internet via WiFi in the People's Square next to the Lacoste store. Search for "Split Hotspot" Get out
Try renting a bike or scooter for exploring the island. When renting, take into account that the rental service normally closes rather early but when you ask for it, they are quite flexible as most people are in Split. A return ferry ticket should cost about 70 kn and has no time restrictions within the same day.

DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins took the practice field for the first time this week in preparation for Thursday's preseason finale against the New Orleans Saints. But there was one conspicuous absence that caught my eye.
Dolphins rookie cornerback Will Davis was not present Monday during the early portion of practice open to the media. Although there has been no official word from the team, Davis appeared to have injured his leg in Saturday's preseason loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Miami is already hurting with cornerback depth after recently releasing veteran Richard Marshall. Davis is one of the young corners expected to step up, along with fellow rookie Jamar Taylor and Nolan Carroll. Both Carroll and Taylor practiced Monday.
Here are some other quick injury notes from Miami's practice:
No. 3 overall pick Dion Jordan dressed but only rehabbed his shoulder during the portion of practice open to the media. Jordan is not expected to play Thursday against the Saints. But Miami is trying to get him ready for the regular-season opener against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 8.
Miami backup offensive lineman Nate Garner is improving and participated in team drills for the first time since injuring his shoulder. Garner lined up as the second-team left tackle during the early part of team drills.
Fellow offensive tackle Jeff Adams did not practice Monday, and wore a sleeve on his left leg.

Recently I spoke on the topic of sustainability, and afterwards received an email from a member of the audience. She wrote to tell me that although she agreed with one of my messages--that asking for help is a critical part of sustaining a program--she wasn't convinced people knew how to ask for help very effectively. I'm pretty sure she's right. Asking for help is easier said than done. So what follows are some brief articles and posts on the topic. I pared down a pretty sizeable list to just a few, business-oriented ones that I hope will give you some ideas on how to effectively ask for help:
And if you had any doubts about just how universal the benefits of asking for help can be:

A Very Successful CLA for NE Beta
Posted on Mar 2nd, 2014
The 2014 Carlson Leadership Academy (CLA) for our region was held February 28th - March 2nd. The Nebraska Beta Chapter received numerous awards for excellence!
CLA provides interactive officer training to over 2,600 undergraduates and volunteers annually. Many undergraduates run for executive board positions because they have great goals and visions for their chapter. Attending a CLA ensures an officer will have the skills to manage a committee and follow through on those goals. The program also helps executive boards work together to ensure they all have goals consistent with a unified vision for the chapter.
CLA provides education for each specific officer position, as well as strategic planning and goal setting, and chapter leadership. The program emphasizes the use of each officer's individual strengths to build a complete team. Participants spend time on chapter analysis, large and small group sessions and informal interactions with other chapters. Participants will enhance their skill sets and leadership abilities to help them as chapter officers, in other leadership roles, in group projects and eventually in the work force for the rest of their lives.
Chapter officers will return to campus with a better understanding of their position, as well as a holistic strategy for moving their chapter forward. More than 150 seasoned volunteers from across the country share their experiences as facilitators during the program.
Nebraska Beta Wins Buchanan Cup
Posted on Mar 2nd, 2014
On August 1, 2013 during the 2013 Grand Chapter Conclave in Dallas, Texas, the Nebraska Beta Chapter was awarded the Buchanan Outstanding Chapter Award.

The Buchanan Cup recognizes the best-of-the-best Sigma Phi Epsilon chapters. Chapters are measured in relation to the accomplishments of their peers on campuses across the country. Only the chapters that excel in every area of operations and further the Grand Chapter's strategic plan qualify for this high honor.

Himachal PradeshAdventure | Hill | Scenic

- Trekking
12000 ft above the sea level, Churdhar is an offbeat mountain in the Himalayan range. Known for its camping site, Churwadhar camping is based 7000 ft below the peak! An ideal place for adventure lovers, this camping site is a must visit! If you are ardent fan of camping, Churwadhar is a must visit destination!
Himachal Pradesh, or the 'Snow-laden Province', is a state in North India. It is bordered by Jammu and Kashmir in the north, Punjab in the west, Haryana in the south-west, Uttarakhand in the south-east and Tibet in the east.
Himachal sits in the lap of the Himalayas and is famous for its natural beauty, virgin landscapes, scenic hill stations and temples.
Due to extreme variation in elevation, Himachal experiences a variation in its climatic conditions as well. From hot and sub-humid tropical in the southern tracts to cold, alpine and glacial in the northern and eastern mountain ranges – the state has places that receive very heavy rainfall (like Dharamshala) to those (like Lahaul and Spiti) that are practically rainless. The best time to go to Himachal would really depend on what you would like to do! An activity-packed summer, romantic saga of the rains, or the crisp chill of the winters are all good options in Himachal.
Summer is the peak season for most tourists and with increased footfall it sometimes is a put-off! The months after the monsoons, and any time between September and November is considered ideal for planning a break here.
From visiting the ancient temples in Chamba to trekking on the valleys of Kullu and Manali; beholding the exquisite natural beauty of Dalhousie to travelling up to the 'Lhasa of India' (Dharamshala), there is much to explore. If you are an adrenaline junkie, then the capital city of Shimla, midst towering Himalayan ranges, is the place for you to be in. There are plenty of outdoor activities to indulge in Himachal – from angling, camping, golfing, para gliding, rock climbing to river rafting, hang-gliding and para-sailing, skiing and trekking.
Local food of Himachal is delicious and lip-smacking. A word of caution though – local food is spicy, so grab a glass of water before you start eating. There are Punjabi and Tibetan influences in the kind of food prepared in Himachal.
Sidu is a popular cuisine of the state; considered a special delicacy as it is usually prepared on significant occasions. Patande is yet another popular dish made from wheat and tastes similar to pancake.
Meat preparations are rich and spicy; the tempting aroma is enough to satiate your appetite. Try Kullu trout, grilled fish and chicken anardana in Himachal restaurants. Vegetarians can try guchhi matar, sepu vadi and kaddu ka khatta.
Try authentic pahari food in the best known restaurants; some of the following is worth giving a try – dham (dish prepared by the Brahmins and made of rajma, moong dal and rice in curd and served with sauce made of tamarind and jaggery), mittha, babru, chana madra, chha gosht, mash daal, akotri (type of cake), tudkiya bhaat and bhey.
Do not forget to try different varieties of tea prepared in the state, yet another specialty.
For the people of Himachal, every day is nothing less than jubilation. Festivals vary in terms of scale but most of them are attended by huge crowds. There are so many cultural festivals in the state that it is hard to pick any exclusively. Beginning January the people at Lahaul welcome the New Year with the Halda festival with dancing acts and musicals; in the villages they celebrate Sazo in the same month. As in Punjab and Haryana, Lohri is celebrated here too as a ceremonial ritual to jumpstart the harvesting of Rabi crop; the Himachal Winter Carnival is celebrated with gusto between 2nd and 6th January with skiing championships, food festival, craft bazaar, folk dances, street plays, band competitions and adventure sports as special attractions; Losar festival; Doongri festival in Kullu; Maha Shivratri; Baisakhi; Spring festival in Kullu; Rakhi; Phulaich festival in Kinnaur; Ladarcha in Kaza and Spiti; Kullu Dussehra; the International Himalayan festival in the Kangra Valley are all replete with dances, bonfires, musical performances, events, fairs, competitions, cultural practices and programs.
In Himachal, every town, every little hamlet, holy shrine, and the land around is steeped in a culture and history that goes back over four millennia. It has a rich tradition of folk music and dances that mark all festive occasions. 'Natti dance', 'burah', 'ghugti', 'bakayang' are various dance forms. Fairs and festivals are celebrated with much pomp round the year with dance and music. Through dance forms and music they entreat their deities during local festivals and special occasions.
Himachal is well known for its handicrafts; carpets, leather work, Pashmina shawls, Himachali caps, paintings, metalware, woodwork are famous art work of the region.
Tourism is a major contributor to the state's economy and growth. This mountainous state sitting pretty at the foothills of the grand Himalayas holds its pride for the diverse and beautiful landscapes that attracts tourists from all over the world. Hill stations like Shimla, Manali, Dalhousie, Chamba, Dharamshala and Kullu are popular destinations for both domestic and foreign tourists. It is home to many prominent Hindu pilgrimage centers as well.
Himachal is famous for its handicrafts, wood and metal work, shawls, pullovers, toys, Tibetan carpets, pickles/jams/squashes, caps, funky jewelry made of semi-precious stones and beads, and basketry. While shopping in Himachal you can pick up carpets with brilliant hues and patterns. Other souvenirs include brightly printed cotton head scarves from Chamba; also go for bangles, rings, pretty dolls or kerchiefs patterned with fine embroidery. Royal and romantic tales depicted in Kangra paintings are good too. Do not hesitate to splurge on these aesthetic and tasteful pieces of artwork and carry home some.
Almost all the major tourist destinations here are great shopping paradises too, so you'll know where to head.
Hindi is both the official language and lingua franca of Himachal Pradesh. People also speak Pahari, Punjabi, Kangri, Dogri and Kinnauri.
English is understood and spoken in all the major cities.
By Road: This place is well connected with Delhi, Chandigarh, Shimla, Kalka and Nahan via roadways.
By Train: Shimla and Kalka are the nearest rail heads to Churwadhar.
By Air: Shimla is the closest airport to Churwadhar.
GET DIRECTIONWhile camping, carry water and light canned and dry eatables with you.
October to April is the best time to visit Churwadhar.
Indulge in camping, trekking, rappelling, rock climbing, ice skiing, cycling, river crossing, flying fox and Burma Bridge.
Haripurdhar: 63 kms from Churwadhar, Haripurdhar is a spiritual place!
Renukaji: If you love serenity, Renukaji is the place to be!

PEORIA — The right lane of westbound U.S. Route 150 at the McClugage Bridge over the Illinois River will close at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday through the afternoon.
The closure is necessary to complete patching work, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.
IDOT announced several other closures this week:
■ The left lane of eastbound Illinois Route 40 at the Bob Michel Bridge will be closed for about two hours Tuesday morning. The lane closure, to allow installation of a light pole, will not begin before 8:30 a.m.
■ Farmington Road (Illinois Route 8) in West Peoria will be reduced to one lane Tuesday and Wednesday in the vicinity of Rhodora Avenue for pavement work. Flaggers will control traffic during this time.

Hi guys... Happy New Year
I have an SWG 4 SS on my stoker. I want to purchase a motor and fan kit so that I have it in stock should I have a failure. Imagine that, me being proactive. I see a replacement assembly from Patriot supply PN 46234800. The information on the description says; do not use for coal and wood stoves. This was interesting since this is the unit that came with my stove from Reading. I called Field Controls and was told that they do not test them for coal and wood and if the stove manufacturer does, then that is why they shipped the unit with the stove. Sounds like finger pointing liability away. Anyway, Field Controls told me to buy the unit from the stove manufacturer. I don't want to get pruned doing this if I can get one from Patriot Supply for a better price. I called Patriot Supply and was told that the stove manufacturers are doing something to the units to prevent the buildup of fly ash on the blower fans. The guy I spoke to said that he does not know what it is and they could not find out when they asked. He said that he has had people buy the blower kit from them for a coal and wood application and they have failed in a short period of time. When this happens Field Controls does not honor the warranty because of the application. Does anyone know what the modifications are that the stove manufacturers are doing to the power vent units? If so, is it something that someone could do to the standard unit? Sorry for all the words. Thanks!

Cheyenne, WY (KGWN) - A case of Equine Infectious Anemia or EIA was found in one horse located in Johnson County forcing the horse to be euthanized.
Cases of the disease are not common in Wyoming, but are very serious when they occur.
"Basically it can cause horses to become anemic. It can also cause horses to lose weight and it obviously can pose a threat to other horses," said Dr. Bob Meyer, Assistant State Veterinarian for the Wyoming Livestock Board.
The disease is not always fatal. In fact, a horse can be carrying it and not show any signs of having the virus.
The disease is often transmitted when an infected horse is bitten by deer and horseflies then transmits it to another horse.
Dr. Meyer says despite the recent discovery there is not much reason to worry about horses at Frontier Days.
"For horses coming into Cheyenne Frontier Days, usually they are required to be Coggins tested. This, the test for this disease, negative before they arrive," Meyer said.
The virus can only infect horses and other equine. The disease cannot be transmitted to humans, dogs, cats or even cattle.

PC Gaming Has Ruined the Next-Gen Console Launches for MePosted on Monday, December 9 @ 14:59:54 PST by Paul_Tamburro
There's still nothing quite like a new video game console launch, is there? While those of us who grew up in the 80s/90s grow increasingly world-weary and difficult to please, it's still hard to prevent the corners of your mouth curling upwards at the prospect of a new slab of hot, sexy technology, just as they did when the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64 and PlayStation first reared their beautiful, oblong heads. When the Wii U was announced I could barely contain my excitement. "Nintendo has jumped the shark", the anti-touchscreen brigade scoffed, but I didn't listen. There is no Christmas quite like a new console Christmas, and in the winter of 2012 I had Mario in high-definition. Santa had excelled himself, the wonderful, fat bastard. However, as my love for the Wii U waned by virtue of its lack of software support, I turned my attention to the inevitable announcements of Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One. After all, they were going to be (as many internet commenters had reminded me) the true next-gen consoles. The leap from the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 was astronomical. Gorgeous HD graphics and a larger emphasis on online play was a huge step forward for console gaming, and whatever the PS4 and Xbox One were going to bring to the table, we all knew that it was highly unlikely that they were going to be as immediately impressive as their predecessors were. When the PS4 was announced, a great deal of fuss was made about it being the "Most Powerful Console Ever". It was almost as powerful as a gaming PC, they said. Almost. Then the Xbox One was announced, and the feverish excitement of the PS4's reveal was contrasted by a slew of hateful vitriol directed towards Microsoft due to the console's restrictive DRM policies (which M$, as they were swiftly dubbed by self-applauding internet types, would later remove) and the fact that it was a less powerful console, being sold for more money. Now, I've always favored console gaming over PC gaming, largely due to its accessibility. I bought and semi-constructed my own gaming PC a little under a year ago, but would have had great difficulty in doing so had it not been for a few friends giving me advice along the way. This is the problem PC gaming has faced over the years, and why it has struggled to capture the attention of a wider audience despite it being the more powerful and, thanks to the abundance of Steam sales and the like, more inexpensive platform (after the initial hardware investment) to enjoy your games on. However, now that I have overcome that initial hurdle, it is difficult to see what the PS4 and Xbox One are going to offer me that I don't already have. In Nintendo's initial proposal for the Wii U, they were admirably trying to offer us something different to what we had come to expect from our consoles. However, the PS4 and the Xbox One are both merely attempting to emulate the power boasted by your typical gaming PC, and little else. For those who have already experienced Skyrim with its plethora of graphical mods, the likes of Killzone: Shadow Fall and Forza Motorsport 5 won't blow them away, but whereas the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 were being released at a time when PC gaming was largely ignored by the mass-market, now the likes of Valve and Nvidia are moving towards broadening the platform's appeal with the Steam Machine and cheaper, less complicated small-form PCs. If all goes to plan for Valve and Nvidia, it's questionable how much longer console gaming will remain in the spotlight. The PS4 and Xbox One's respective launches, and the plans that Sony and Microsoft have lined up for their new consoles in the near future, offer little that isn't already available to PC gamers. In truth, aside from the Xbox One's TV integration and Kinect, there is nothing that either company have offered that could reasonably court PC gamers away from their rigs unless, like me, they have an insatiable desire to own new technology. Their emphasised support of independent developers is good, but they'll never be able to give them the level of freedom PC gaming can. While the Xbox Live Arcade and PSN have seen a smattering of classic indie games in their respective lifetimes, Steam has been home to at least three in this past year alone, with The Swapper, Rogue Legacy, and The Stanley Parable all offering nigh-on perfect experiences in very different ways. They've also both upped the player count on online multiplayer games, but this is nothing compared to the PC's plethora of MMOs, MOBAs and huge FPS, and as previously mentioned, their respective graphical improvements are significant compared to their predecessors', but not when compared to some of the astonishing work being done by PC developers and modders. So for a PC gamer, this makes the next-gen console launches somewhat underwhelming. That isn't to say that I'm not anticipating some great things to come out of the PS4 and Xbox One, but with Sony and Microsoft putting emphasis on how powerful their new machines are, they're unfavourably pitting themselves against a platform that will always be one step ahead of them. As the giants of PC gaming are making moves to make it more accessible, it's only a matter of time before they pose a significant threat to console manufacturers, and before they begin whittling away Sony and Microsoft's audience. |

Hyperelastic skin is skin that can be stretched beyond what is considered normal. Skin then returns to normal.
India rubber skin
Hyperelasticity occurs when there is a problem with how the body makes collagen fibers. Collagen is a type of protein that makes up much of the body's tissue.
Hyperelastic skin is most often seen in the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. People with this disorder have very elastic skin and joints that can be bent more than is normally possible. For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as rubber men or women.
Other diseases that may cause skin that is easily stretched include:
You need to take special steps to avoid skin damage when you have this condition because your skin is more delicate than normal. You are more likely to get cuts and scrapes and scars may stretch and become more visible.
Talk to your doctor about steps you should take for this problem and get skin check ups often.
Call your health care provider if:
Your doctor will do physical exam to assess your skin, bones, muscles, and joints.

Stupidest Piece of Snow Gear - EVER
'08 Tacoma TRD - Donna "Hey Macarena!" -- Thomas Jefferson |
My kids play, "search and rescue" in he back yard with my Tracker. I'm sure they could find me, but don't think they could dig me out. I wouldn't go so far as calling that beacon the stupidest piece of snow gear. As a guide, there have been many times where I've put beacons on people knowing full well there is no way they are ever going to find me. But for Forest Service/Permit compliance I can see the use. Think of all the Heli/snowcat operations.
I would rate that beacon as better than a Recco http://www.recco.com/ and better than than an Avalung. http://www.rei.com/product/705146/bl...ond-avalung-ii
98 uzj100. Factory rear-ARB front locked 4.88's. ARB Bull, Warn 9000, Irbis rear bumper, Slee sliders and belly pan. OME t-bars w/863 rears, HID, XM KD0GWO |
Reminds me of the RECCO thing.. except at least that was passive and everybody knew it was kinda useless.. Imagine if there were tons of folk with these things turned on and something happened. It'd be impossible to get everybody to turn them off so you could search for burials. I imagine folks slogging around freaking out with these things in their pocket turned on as others slowly died.
Marco Capote KDØGWX 85 FJ60 82 FJ40 |
I don't agree Farnham, it's dangerous and arrogant.
I'm not ragging on a person who thinks they are soooo important that they MUST be found at all cost per say, but the blatant disregard for fellow backcountry users is irritating and depressing. Why anyone would think not being able to search is even an option is beyond me. I wear mine just about every day I'm on snow, even in bounds, just in case. From Loveland Chair 1 to b/c is only a few minutes and just never know. It's a matter of trust and if people are going to expect me to find them but they aren't going to bother even trying. They expect that S&R will be there to hold their hands and bail them out. The Avalung can work and does not negatively impact anyone else who might or might not be in your party. I agree that it can give the same false sense of security, but that argument is also made about helmets. The "Would you ride this line if you weren't wearing a brain bucket and pads?" question. Maybe, actually probably. But these things are not potentially confusing. The 5-minute survival rate is 99%, 15-minute survival rate for burial is 90%, but at 30-minutes your chance of survival is 30% and at 1-hour the chance of being found alive is 15%. Going further out, the 2-hour survival rate is 10%. When you consider being found alive and not suffer brain damage, the reality is that you have a few minutes to find a person who was not killed instantly. At 15+ minutes you very quickly eat actual burial death related time, it's about 3% per minute. Getting these things shut down will consume critical time. Not to mention people are going to treat them as life preservers instead of emergency gear, so no training, no consideration of how to use them (e.g. go to search or off IMMEDIATELY if you are not buried). This IMHO is compounded by the target group, kids in particular. I understand the motivation to protect them. I'm sorry to sound harsh, but if a person cannot understand the ramifications of the situation they should not be there. Your little ones might be different, the truth is it's not age dependent, there are plenty of adults I won't ski with off piste.
'08 Tacoma TRD - Donna "Hey Macarena!" -- Thomas Jefferson |
takes me back do my dive mastering/scuba instructor days and the all people i rescued who didn't know how to operate all the "technical" dive gear they had bought. the ones that were still alive were always dumbfounded that they had to be rescued since they had their stack of c-cards and all the "right" gear. i have no desire to take my kids skiing in the back or side country. for me, it's not a place for them until they are old enough to fully understand the potential ramifications. when that time comes, i will not be a cheapskate. |
The only place I could ever see using that is for Porter. But I'd still have to shut it off in the case of a real burial.(same as if I use my extra transceiver) Really stupid piece of gear IMO. I can't see any practical use of that on a person other than the obvious, a body locater.

We are in agreement and saying the same thing in different ways. The fact that we are discussing avalanche safety is valuable to all. I am not an advocate of taking children/inexperienced people into potential avalanche terrain. Teaching children early about avalanche safety when you live and work in the ski industry, is similar to teaching water safety if you live near the ocean. At what age do you teach kids CPR?
I would not put one on a dog or snowmobile for the reasons stated above. I think the new airbag stuff is pretty cool, I'm giving it another generation before I buy one. I just think there are a lot of stupid people.

So...if I understand this piece of equipment right it has a beacon so the person wearing it can be found, but it would be useless for finding someone buried because there is no search mode?
I guess if you went skiing with someone with one of these it would only make sense for them to go first right I can see Farnham's perspective though...If you ran an operation where you took 10-20 people into the back country with say 2-4 guides, it would seem that these would be useful to put on the people that don't have a clue about searching but might need to be found if they got buried. Just make sure the folks with units that can search aren't the first down the hill should an avalance be triggered. Or, maybe I'm missing something.

After the game, Holbrook said, "I warned him three times. ... I listened to what he had to say. The furthest thing from my mind was ejecting Mark McGwire. I bent over backwards. At some point, I had to draw the line. I tried to walk away, and he kept coming back around."

"Fine treatment on a difficult subject. Well researched, well written, and, perhaps most noteworthy, it develops a positive conclusion. The relationship of baptism to the vocational core of the church's existence is a question worth considering, and McMaken's answer is one worth hearing."
Surf over and read the original for yourself if you like. It will be easy for you to order a copy while there but, if your conscience is alive, surf on over to the Fortress site to do so.
Now we just need the book's first traditionally published review...

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Basic Information Harle is a minor antagonist who accompanies Lynx around the world of Chrono Cross, and often helps him out with his evil plans. She is dressed like a harlequin, and this has symbolic meanining within the game. In the English version of the game Harle's dialogue is written with a French accent, and she sometimes uses French words. At the beginning of the game Harle often appears and flirts with Serge, she also tends to interfere with the plans of the party. In battle Harle has an innate color of black, and throws what appear to be stones at the enemy. StoryEarly on in the game Harle works with Lynx, but never acts truly evil. Once Serge and Lynx switch bodies she joins Serge, and calls him monsieur Lynx. Once Serge regains his real body Harle leaves the party. She is seen for the final time inside Chronopolis when Serge fights FATE. Harle tells Kid that she should not take the Frozen Flame, and leave it where it is. Kid takes the Frozen Flame anyways, because she believes that Harle is still working against them. Once the Frozen Flame is removed it breaks the seal put on the six dragons and allows them once again to fuse into the extremely powerful dragon god (The Time Devourer). At this point Harle takes the Frozen Flame, and is never seen again. Later in the game when the party meets Balthazar the time prophet (From Chrono Trigger) he tells them that Harle was the Dark Moon Dragon. She was created by the six dragons during the storm 18 years prior that shut down FATE momentarily. Her purpose was to spy on Lynx, and find a way to release the seal put on the six dragons. Harle had a change of heart, and tried to prevent the Dragon God from being resurrected, but her efforts failed. It is suspected by many that Harle is the dark reflection of Kid, but the truth about her is never revealed. One of the endings of Chrono Cross shows that Harle did not fuse with the other dragons to create the dragon god. How to recruit Harle automatically joins the party in Sprigg's Dimensional Vortex, however she leaves when Serege and Lynx regain their original bodies. TechsMoon Beams - Acquired at star level 3. Harle jumps in front of the moon and shoots crescents at all enemies.Moon Shine - Acquired at star level 19. Harle ups the magic defense of the whole party. Lunalrectic - Acquired at star level 25. Harle creates a lunar eclipse, which damages all enemies.

The Joshua Tree and Roy Rogers
Trip Start
Mar 29, 2006
Trip End
Sep 07, 2006
Where I stayed
Left L.A and headed out into the desert to Palm Springs. A really nice town in the middle of nowhere. We stayed here as it was an easy drive to Joshua Tree National Park. Went on a bit of a U2 Pilgrimage as this is where the Joshua Tree album was written and where U2 stayed in a really rundown motel called the Harmony.
The park was amazing, huge rocks and loads of Joshua trees. It is part of the Mohave desert which is the only place in the world these trees grow. Went on a couple of trails but the environment is really harsh and coyotes are everywhere. We didn't manage to see any rattlesnakes.
There is a crazy place called Pioneertown in the middle of nowhere which is basically a movie set used for Westerns but they leave it up all year so it is really eerie as it is a movie set that you can drive through.
Back to L.A now to go to Disneyland!

It seems as though Bradley Cooper has heralded in the new year with a breakup. It's being reported that he and on-again, off-again girlfriend Zoe Saldana split before the holidays.
"Zoe had planned to spend the holidays with Bradley and his family in Europe. They all were going to Paris, but things didn't work out between them. Zoe spent New Year's Eve with friends in Miami," a source tells Page Six. A different witness adds, "If Zoe was upset over the split with Bradley, she didn't show it."
Cooper and Saldana first started dating in March after they shot the film "The Words" together. Their relationship only lasted three months, but they rekindled that fire in September. It seems like they only made it another three months this time, as sources claim things fizzled out while Cooper promoted "Silver Linings Playbook" with Jennifer Lawrence and Saldana filmed "Star Trek Into Darkness" and "Blood Ties."
The couple had been photographed looking happy and healthy over Thanksgiving, which they spent with Cooper's mother. "Can't wait to spend Thanksgiving with my family & friends. Hope u have a great Thanksgiving & holiday weekend. -ZS," Saldana tweeted at the time. That led to the inevitable engagement rumors, which have now proved to be very, very wrong.
