I technically have a WoW account, although I haven't really played for 8 months or so, but I live in the middle of nowhere, so I would totally play again if there were other people playing on some server or another. As long as it was horde because I just can't enjoy alliance. Seriously, people. I'm bored. All I do is go to school and teach all day and then come home and grade papers and netflix, and I'm tired of netflix.
Caremeter#1444 is my bnet. Im the GM of a Horde guild if you want a place to hang out, meet people, do mmo things, etc.
Which server? (characters, etc.)
Grumpebear of Azgalor
Oh, thanks. The characters addition was for the 20-character limit, though.
Cenarius but I rolled with some dudes on Hyjal, Disappointing Minions. Decent dudes, adult casual guild, found them through a buddy that I collected from the wilds and hooked up back in the day with some loot. He went hardcore and server hopped to bigger and better guilds doing mythics. We never broke past Heroics. Just waiting for the next expansionpack.
Lots of people do the server hop thing. I don't foresee myself ever having time for mythics again, although I used to do it. Maybe during summer vacation. I used to play on Hyjal. That's the server my rl ex is on.
I'd jump on WoW again to kill time if I had some people to play with
I play on Llane/Arygos ..primarily as Tuskex. Should you wish to connect via bnet it's Tuskex#1272 ... been on a bit less while working other games in, but don't mind hopping on.
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
I haven't paid for wow in a long time. They made an in game token system where you can buy 1 month of game time for as low as 28k gold. Im paid for the next 2 years, and gold capped on 2 characters and 2 guild banks. Even if I quit it's nice to have access to the game whenever I want for free. Golds really easy to get.
Ill give you 50k if you need it!
I wish I had that kinda gold ... I have to keep AH loaded to get that token each month.
Ya Warlords of Draenor left a lot to be desired man. They basically ripped half of the NA raid scene in 1 tier. You didn't miss much. I'm the Legion Alpha now and things are looking up. I think losing 50% of their player base in 6 months really opened their eyes. Lets do some DP sometime bum.
I wasn't around for the warp and my accounts intact. If you need anything let me know. I got a few HoZ's laying around.
I took it so it's not a handout.

2004 Jaguar X-type 3.0
First: 2004 Infiniti G35
As a rebodied, retuned Ford Mondeo (nee discontinued Contour), the X-type actually makes quite a good Jaguar. But it lacks just enough power, refinement, and driver-interface quality to net a lower score than its competitors.
Without a horde of segment rivals snapping at its heels, and driven the way a sensible owner would drive, the X-type feels competent enough. The ride is smooth and the 3.0-liter V-6, despite facing east-west rather than the north-south of true Jag orientation, provides convincing acceleration and passing power. The engine has too much of a gobbling roar (overlaid with a sometimes penetrating whine) to be really representative of the Jaguar pedigree, but it gets the job done. Unfortunately, the refinement is also hurt by tire clomp over bad pavement and by shrill wind noise from the mirrors.
The steering is a better match with the marque's reputation, providing clear and accurate path control. Only thing is, it's really too light to provide unambiguous feedback when the driver is pushing hard through the hills. Fast cornering soon brings to light the Jag's determined and constant understeer, alleviated somewhat by a stability-control system that allows the driver to come off the throttle in bends while the device applies various brakes and measures to keep the car on its intended arc.
Undulating and twisty road sections highlight the X-type's fairly soft springing, making it bob and weave. Some drivers found the gearing inappropriate for tight, fast work, with a brake pedal that would go soggy underfoot and fail to provide a reassuring sense of reserve braking power.
Despite the Jag's compact dimensions, there is adequate space for tall drivers and the seat is decently supportive. Shorter drivers found that the aggressive seatback bolstering fit them well; taller pilots felt as if they were leaning on an inflatable ring. Most agreed that the wood and leather interior was entirely appropriate to the Jag's British traditions but found the rear seat wanting for space if not for comfort. The Jag's designers included numerous stash spaces for odds and ends, which help offset the somewhat limited passenger space.
This test was all about manual transmissions, and the X-type's five-speed is acceptable in operation but has a rubbery feel. Overall, this is the kind of car that gives its best when driven in the sweet spot for which it was so clearly tuned. And that is the brisk but not berserk pace of a grand tourer, where transitions are gradual and deliberate, and no savage demands are made. Don't get us wrong, the Jag will tolerate being driven like a bank robber's getaway steed–and make good speed in the process. It just doesn't like it.

|Figure 1. Image of modified yeast cells attracted to magnetic field.2
The investigators in this work were able to induce magnetism in the normally diamagnetic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They grew yeast cells in the presence of ferric citrate, which allowed iron to accumulate inside the cells rather than precipitating out of the growth media. When cells were exposed to magnets, the two scientists observed the attraction. Because genes involved in iron homeostasis and redox control might contribute to the effect, Silver and Nishida knocked out 60 candidate genes to identify the ones important for achieving magnetism. Silver and Nishida were able to block expression of the protein that causes the iron sequestration, allowing the iron to circulate freely throughout the yeast cell. In this way, they created enough magnetic sensitivity in the cell to cause it to migrate toward an external magnet (Figure 2).
|Figure 2. Silver and Nishida were able to create enough magnetic sensitivity in yeast cells to cause them to migrate toward an external magnet. The arrows in this image point out two of the larger concentrations of iron in a single yeast cell.
Through this analysis, they identified Tco89p, a component of target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1). TORC1 regulates cell growth in response to stress and nutrient and redox states. The downregulation of TORC1 resulted in a decrease in magnetism, and its overexpression increased it. TCO89 induces yeast magnetization by helping oxidize intracellular Fe2+ to Fe3+ in a dose dependent manner. They also found a number of genes involved in carbon metabolism that could affect magnetism.
Their technology could potentially be used to magnetize a variety of different cell types in medical, industrial and research applications. One company is interested in bioprocessing applications such as helping to isolate a valuable product that a cell makes but does not secrete, be it a protein, a lipid, or a biofuel. Another is interested in using the yeast as a positive control for cell sorting based on magnetism, since this paper showed that the magnetized yeast was not only attracted to magnets, but could be trapped by a magnetic column.3
In an industrial setting, magnetization could be extremely helpful as a means of targeting and isolating specific cells. Contaminated cells could be pulled out and disposed of during the processing of biological materials, and cells that are critical to a certain manufacturing process could be isolated and put to use. Magnetic cells could also be used to interact with non-living machinery. For example, magnetism could be used in tissue engineering to guide cells to layer themselves on a scaffold in a specific way. New therapies might one day be created in which cells are engineered to respond to a magnetic field by growing or healing, and implanted magnetic stem cells might one day be tracked with magnetic resonance imaging.4

text: As a cook, i have wondered where i could find all the information about food. The answer i got was something like :" There are not enough books and internet websites for you to search?". So i decided to create my own database, i searched a lot of programs and did a lot of testing in a lot of softwares. I even posted my question regarding databases here in chef talk.A few weeks have passed and i would like to know your opinion on what i am about to begin.I will make a excel sheet with thousands of ingredient informations. Each ingredient will have at least its name in 5 languages, their nutricional information, their description where i will put the most important information about them, their photo and a lot more info.From all my books i gathered around 5500 different ingredients and a lot of information about them. Once this excel sheet starts to get good i will make a new one with recipes, that will work with the ingredients sheet, in order to have a more complex database.After that i will make a new one that will work with menu engeneering, using all the previous sheets. The objective in the end, is to gather the information of every city of every country of every continent all in one document/programYou can call me crazy but i dream on having all the information of global ingredients and recipes.Probably its too extensive to do, but i just know that i need to start it. Why excel? Because its the most versatile program that i know of. It can do everything i want and i still can personalize everything in it.This project will take me many years to complete, but i hope to be able to share and be able to have the help of everyone in this forum. I would like to know your opinion in this.I will keep everyone up to date with the project if possible.

It may come as a bit of a shocker for some, but Google's highly successful Nexus 7 tablet is still not available in Asia. This is even more surprising if we take into consideration that the 7-incher is co-branded by Asus, whose headquarters are in Taiwan.
Now things are about to change for those of you who live in Taiwan and crave a Nexus 7, although the rest of Asia might again be left out of the mix. All three major Taiwanese wireless carriers, as well as a bunch of electronics retail stores, have started taking pre-orders for the 7-incher and will ship the tab in a matter of weeks.
Chungwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, and Far EasTone Telecommunications have started teasing the Nexus 7 Taiwanese launch, although none of the three carriers has announced an exact release date just yet.
The 16 GB model is the only one offered for pre-order at this time and we don't know if the 8 GB version will go up for grabs anytime soon. We're guessing it won't though, following Google's marketing strategy in Europe and US. As you might have already noticed, the 8 and 16GB versions of the tabs are available for sale via Google Play, while retailers and carriers are only selling the second variant.
Unsurprisingly, as far as pricing goes, the Taiwanese Nexus 7 is considerably more expensive than its US counterpart. The 16 GB version goes for TW $8,990, which would translate into around $300 at today's conversion rates. Then again, this is slightly cheaper than what Google is charging for the Nexus 7 in France, Germany or Spain, where the 16GB Nexus 7 currently goes for €249 (around $312).
You also get a set of free headphones and free shipping (at least from Taiwan Mobile), so all in all, this sounds like a pretty decent deal. Taiwan Mobile is hinting at a September 12 shipping kick-off on its official website, although this might not be 100% accurate. Still, that's the most probable ETA for Taiwan's Nexus 7, give or take a couple of days.
The Nexus 7 is expected to go out in Hong Kong next, according to an unconfirmed report from last week, while the rest of Asia, including big markets like India, China and Japan, is still left pining. But all hope is not lost for those waiting for the tab in those countries, so stay tuned for updates on the subject.
We're also pretty excited about the possible release of a 3G-enabled version of the Nexus 7, so it seems that the 7-incher's legend will go on for quite some time. Who hasn't jumped on the Nexus 7 bandwagon yet? Why and what are you waiting for?

|Ad from the Lorain Journal of January 16, 1952
According to this Wiki entry, it had struggled since the 1990s, and been in and out of bankruptcy – before finally closing all of its remaining stores in late 2015.
That's why it's strange to see the nearly full-page ad above, which ran in the Lorain Journal on January 16, 1952 – 65 years ago yesterday. It reminds me of its one-time market dominance, with its great in-house brands (such as Eight O'Clock Coffee, which is still around today).
According to an article in the June 21, 1955 Lorain Journal, the first two outlets in Lorain celebrated simultaneous openings on July 1, 1919. One was located at 858 Broadway and the other was at 500 E. Erie. A third A&P store opened on August 1, 1919 on Pearl in South Lorain.
During the 1920s, an incredible thirteen A&Ps opened in Lorain. These small, neighborhood stores were followed by six more in the 1930s!
At one point, Lorain's biggest A&P was at 3809 Broadway, which opened in 1955. A&P even constructed an extension of W. 38th from Broadway to Elyria Avenue. (Don't look for that street on a map today; somehow it disappeared after that store closed in the early 1970s.)
Sheffield Lake's A&P opened in August 1959. It was followed by the Lorain Plaza store, which opened in August 1960 (which I wrote about here).
Like I've said before, I remember seeing Ann Page products on pantry shelves in our house in the 1960s, never realizing that it was an A&P house brand. I thought Ann Page was a Betty Crocker-like cook who specialized in preserves.
That's why I could never own a Keurig®. I want to sniff that coffee, man.

Today I was reminded why I started doing Small Business Technology consulting. FYI by training in college, I am an electrical and computer engineer. I got my degree right as the "internet" launched (LOL yes I am mature). I remember learning HTML and sending email via PINE!! My passion however is music, dance, and helping people live their best lives. I am a Life Coach specializing in Beauty, Wellness, & Spirituality.
When I decided to become an entrepreneur, one of the things that has made it possible has been technology! From easy to build and maintain websites, to smartphones that double as payment systems, the right tech can make the BUSINESS side of your passion MUCH easier to manage, IF you know how to use it.
I am working on an event series and collaborating with other wellness workers and OMG the technological divide is real. From setting meeting times in different time zones, to collaborating using Google Docs, many people who are EXCELLENT at what they do, are pretty awful and the management side of business.
Many people also KNOW they suck at technology, but when classes and courses are offered for training and development, they opt out. WHY?!!!! Listen, if you have decided to go into business, you CANNOT just focus on your service. You have to put on multiple hats and/or hire people to handle it for you. I'm not going to try convince you, but I highly recommend reading the book The E-Myth Revisited, for some insight into how you are sabotaging your own success by NOT becoming well-trained in business management.
Knowing how to better leverage your time and maximize the use of your resources is an invaluable asset. I however cannot help everyone, but I am offering access to my over 20 years knowledge in technology and business as part of #teamfabulous. If you join this team, not only will you benefit from my knowledge of Tech, but I also include personal development via training, workshops, events, and discounted group & individual coaching. If you want to know more, contact me for details!

Sponsor (Third Party) Billing Process
Third party sponsors who wish to cover some or all of the charges on a student's account are invoiced by the university for those charges on the student's behalf. Once the sponsor informs the university of their intent to pay, a credit is placed on the student account in the amount of the charges authorized by the sponsor. This credit does not indicate that the sponsor has made payment and does not release the student from financial responsibility for those charges. If the sponsor fails to remit payment as agreed, the credit is removed from the student account and the student will be responsible for remitting payment.
Third party billing is not tuition reimbursement. Tuition reimbursement is an agreement between the student and a third party (usually an employer) in which the third party reimburses the student after he/she has remitted payment for tuition and fees.
The third party billing process is outlined below. If you have additional questions after reading this information, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Required Documents
Texas A&M University requires a letter from the sponsor acknowledging intent to pay and providing information necessary for invoicing.
Document Submission
Sponsors can send a letter or email that indicates the following:
- UIN(s) for student(s) - please include the Texas A&M University UIN for each student
- Types of charges - please list all charges you are willing to pay
- Term(s) - the term(s) you wish to cover
- Invoicing instructions
- Point of contact and contact information
See Sponsor Billing Contact Information for mailing address, email address and fax number.
Deadlines and Invoicing Dates
Documents must be submitted at least one week prior to the due date of the semester in order to prevent late fees and prevent classes from being dropped. Sponsors will be invoiced after the 20th class day and will be given 30 days to remit payment.
Payment Instructions
1. Payments by bank wire:
All wire transfers (US Domestic Wires and International Wires) are accepted using our partner, Flywire. Texas A&M University no longer accepts direct wire transfers and will not provide our banking information. Please visit tamusponsor.flywire.com and create a Flywire Account.

Musica Nuova, a project of Fractured Atlas Musica Nuova, a project of Fractured Atlas
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Hailed by the New York Times for its "flair for the dramatic and a taste for unusual performance spaces," early music company Musica Nuova brings new perspectives to Baroque music by heightening the dramatic qualities intrinsic to the repertoire. The goal of Musica Nuova is to create performances that transcend the standard concert experience of early music, providing a framework to engage newcomers and offer a new level of understanding to experienced listeners. Through staging and storytelling, Musica Nuova weaves storylines based on the meaning of the songs.
During its initial years in Boston, Musica Nuova was presented on concert series with the Society for Historically Informed Performance (SoHIP), Bates College, MIT Chapel, Boston Early Music Festival Fringe Concerts, and Newton Library, and was Ensemble-in-Residence at the Amherst Early Music Festival. After relocating to New York in the 2011-12 season, Musica Nuova produced its first full-length opera, Il Ballo delle Ingrate, at (Le) Poisson Rouge, and performed at the International Early Music Festival in Riga, Latvia, on the invitation of the U.S. Consulate.

Another Valentine's Day has come and gone and I've fallen into the trap once again. The hype surrounding the holy-martyr's-feast-somehow-turned-day-of-ultra-romance has fooled me into putting romantic love on a high pedestal for which it was never destined. Darn you greeting card company conspiracy!
Truth be told, I've been feeling a little blue lately. I don't fully know why. I think partly it's the weather and being cooped up indoors too much. Also, Isaac has been pretty temperamental lately, which really wears on me. Maybe the weather is getting to him too.
Anyway, I've never really thought much about Valentine's Day. Sure it's nice for couples to have an extra reason to show their love, but it's pretty much a made up holiday anyway, right? But as it approached this year I began to look forward to it as a break from recent monotony. I began to think that in some small way maybe it would make me happy. BIG mistake.
Flowers and chocolate certainly cannot make me happy. Neither can the love of my husband, dear though he is. Only God can.
One of the few things that humans can never get enough of is love. We desire to be loved perfectly, completely, forever. Can I love someone like that? Of course not. It is how I strive to love my husband and son everyday but I'm constantly falling short. Romantic love, beautiful and amazing as it is, can never truly fulfill a person. The reason romantic love is so beautiful is that it is a shadow, the faintest whisper, of real love--God's love. The only love so perfect and all-encompassing that it can make a person happy.
When we put the burden of our happiness into someone else's hands we are doing them a great injustice. No human was ever meant to bear that burden. Essentially, we are making them into our god. Expecting your spouse to fulfill you will only lead to frustration and disappointment. Expecting them to be perfect will only make them feel inadequate and unappreciated.
All of this I know, and have known ever since studying Theology of the Body before I was married--in theory. In practice it's very easy to forget. In practice it's very easy to look to the person who is beside you everyday for your happiness. It is very easy to blame him whenever you have a bad day, whenever you're the least bit down. It is much more difficult to look to myself, to what is lacking in my spiritual life, to sincerely put my well-being into God's hands.
There's a song by Jon Foreman about this called A Mirror is Harder to Hold. He says:
I could try and point the finger but the glass points in my direction
Sure you've got your sharp edges but my wounds are from my own reflection
Happy belated St. Valentine's Day everyone! Hug your loved ones and don't forget to remind them that you can't make each other happy!

Junctional Complexes of Epithelial Cells, by Unknown
Note: Supplemental materials are not guaranteed with Rental or Used book purchases.
- Cover: eBook
- Copyright: 9/28/2007
Epithelial cells cover the outer and inner surfaces of the body, forming a selective polarized barrier between the intercellualar space and the 'external' world. Linking the cells of this continuous layer and contributing to epithelial organization and function are specialized membrane domains--desmosomes, gap junctions, and occluding junctions. The contributors to this multidisciplinary symposium volume explore the nature of such junctional structures, focusing on the molecular organization and diversity of their constituent proteins, their formation and control, and interactions with ions and cytoskeletal elements. The physiological significance of cell-cell interaction in epithelia is considered, with reference to cell adhesion, barrier formation and intercellular communication, and to the functional implications for tissue architecture, embryonic development, morphogenesis and carcinogenesis.

- On July 11, Marymoor Park will host the inaugural No Depression Festival. Along with bigger name acts like Iron & Wine, Gillian Welch and Drive-By Truckers' Patterson Hood, are KEXP favorites like Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter, Justin Townes Earle, and Jessica Lea Mayfield, as well as a Seattle roots "super group" including Star Anna, Sera Cahoone, Mark Pickerel, Kristen Ward, and members of the Maldives and North Twin, among others. KEXP is offering a pre-sale for the festival today until 10PM. Just use "KEXP" as the password.
- Flaming Lips' frontman Wayne Coyne has announced the late summer release of a double album. Speaking about the album's direction, Coyne told Billboard,
I think with this there was an element of accidentally stumbling upon more spontaneous sort of freak-out stuff.Much of the recording is scheduled for completion prior to the band heading out on tour next month.
- Amanda Palmer recently collaborated with her high school alma mater on a musical derived from Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. With the Needle That Sings In Her Heart is viewable, in its entirety, here.
- Jesse Sandoval, former drummer for The Shins, is taking his greater amount of free time in stride. Starting next week, on the corner of 3rd and SW Stark in Portland, you can find Sandoval manning Nuevo Mexico, a New Mexican food cart. He may not rake it in like James Mercer, but I'm betting his first week of sales will beat those of most indie bands.
- The folks at Continuum have finalized their 2010/11 book list for the 33 1/3 Series. There was a lot of bickering following the release of the shortlist, but I for one would love to read a short book about any of the these albums:
Portishead's Dummy, by RJ Wheaton
Johnny Cash's American Recordings, by Tony Tost
Television's Marquee Moon, by Bryan Waterman
Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville, by Gina Arnold
AC/DC's Highway to Hell, by Joe Bonomo
Ween's Chocolate and Cheese, by Hank Shteamer
Radiohead's Kid A, by Marvin Lin
Dinosaur Jr.'s You're Living All Over Me, by Nick Attfield
Aretha Franklin's Amazing Grace, by Aaron Cohen
Slint's Spiderland, by Scott Tennent
The Rolling Stones' Some Girls, by Cyrus Patell
- The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC opened a new exhibit on Tuesday titled "John Lennon: The New York City Years." The exhibit features a lot of expected rock memorabilia like clothing items, lyrics and photos but one item falls far from the expected — a paper bag filled with Lennon's bloody clothes from the night of his murder. Yoko Ono collaborated on the production of the exhibit, which will remain open through the fall.
- Finally, David Byrne is offering a live EP on his website with proceeds to benefit Amnesty International. The songs were all recorded during his current tour, which comes back through Seattle on June 24th, at the Paramount Theatre.

Cracked solid surface sink5/1
I was the hired a solid surface to fabricate and install a solid surface top with integral sink last November I got a call from my client the dentist that his sink had a crack in it. The crack goes from left to right on the bottom of the sink. After sending solid surface shop a picture he immediately came to the conclusion some one had dropped something or poured very hot water in the sink.This means no manufacturing flaw and responsibility on their part. This is going to cost over $1000 to redo. It appears I will be in the middle on this one as no one says they were at fault. Any ideas on how to solve this and keep everyone happy. I feel I am least responsible for this problem but will have to pay for it
Call the rep for whatever brand material it is, they will make an unbiased judgment and tell you who has to pay for repairs if any. If its fabricator error they will force the fabricator to fix it or pay someone else to fix it, if its manufacturing error they will pay to replace it and if something happened that caused the damage that is outside the warranty they will let you know. Let them know the urgency of having a functioning sink in a dental office. They should have given you a warranty prior to being paid.
DuPont Corian® can be reached at 1-800-426-7426, you will need to Google the other bbrands
When you do solid surface tell them there is no guaranty, only that you'll do your best. The material mfg can claim it's x y or z's fault the only way they will really warrant the material is if it's as delivered. We had a Corian factory molded (one piece sink and top) vanity top in the showroom not hooked up that the sink split and DuPont did replace, but we also had a Corian job go south - really nobody's fault.
The new kitchen spanned the joint (under the DW) between the old and new addition. There was a cast sink on one side and an Amana glass cooktop on the other. The first break was in the narrow edge @ the cooktop and actually had a noticeable shift. We repaired it. Several months later the glass cooktop literally exploded, they had a new cooktop installed WRONG then called me when there was a another crack. We fixed that and properly installed the new cooktop. Months later we get another call, crack at the DW this time I analyzed what was going on - the HOUSE WAS MOVING, the addition was settling causing the counter top to bend over the DW. I called the rep who looked at it and long story short said that DuPont can't be held accountable for house movement. Because I had told the customer that the top was "guarantied for 10 years" I ate it. We replaced about 14' of 'L' shaped top the addition had finished settling by then so there were no more problems. This earned me more work in the long run but did hurt in the short.
Moral of the story is - do not promise anything you are not willing to eat. Your business' long term future depends on your customer trusting you.
Your only hope in this situation is via the material manufacturer. The rep should be able to tell you what happen, if at all possible have the fabricator and the consumer there when the rep is there so you all can be on the same page. With the rep there you should be able to negotiate a more acceptable outcome.
I don't think corian warranties anything on commercial jobs. A quick fix would be to V out the crack and fill and sand. It will be somewhat noticeable though.
Corian warranties material only for commercial projects but if it is fabricator error they will tell them to fix it.
Hey, thank you for the question. I totally agree with Rod's concept and views. You must go for it and get it appropriate and clear. All the best!

Sgt. Ryan McLean
Passed on: November 7th, 2017
Despite the heroic efforts of our Glace Bay firefighters, EHS, CBR police and staff of Glace Bay General Hospital we have lost our beloved Ryan. Sgt. Ryan McLean, 37, passed away suddenly in an ATV accident on November 7, 2017.
Ryan is survived by the love of his life, his wife of seven weeks, Cheyenne McLean (Amero); his sons, Jeremey Anderson and Dominic McLean; his loving parents, Eileen Smith-Piovesan (Carter), Tom McLean (Faye); siblings, Melanie McLean (Justin Green), Lacey McLean (Calvin Hastie), Carter Piovesan Jr., and Angela Piovesan (Mike Smeltzer); grandmother, Genevieve McLean; nieces, Zoe and Brooklyn; nephew, Ashton; in-laws, Howard and Debbie Amero; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and his special furbabies, Tinkerbell and Harlow. In addition to his beloved family, Ryan leaves too many close friends to mention.
Ryan was predeceased by his paternal grandfather, Tom McLean; maternal grandfather, Cecil Smith; maternal grandmother, Jean Long; sister, Lori Piovesan and niece, Ceilidh Edwards.
Ryan Served with the Canadian Armed Forces since, September 6, 1998. He was the I/C (In charge) of the Maintenance Section for Detachment Cape Breton. His job in the Military was Vehicle Technician under the EME trade (Electrical and Mechanical Engineers). Ryan did service in Afghanistan in 2008 and 2009.
Ryan had a passion for the outdoors and enjoyed many activities with Cheyenne and their large circle of friends. He was genuine, loyal, and reliable in all aspects of life. Ryan's friends depended on him in so many ways, that's the kind of friend he was. He was a knowledgeable, respected leader who knew how to leave work at the door and become the life of the party. Ryan's sense of humour and infectious laugh will be forever missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
To all personnel at the accident scene, Dr. Diane MacLaughlin, and the staff at G.B.G.H, who went above and beyond expectations, we are grateful for all your efforts. Our world forever changed that night and your attempts at trying to keep him with us did not go unnoticed. Thank you.
Visitation will be held on Monday , November 13, 2017 from 2-4, 7-9 p.m. in the V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay.
The funeral service is Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the Sydney Garrison, Victoria Park, followed by a reception. Cremation to follow after the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: https://woundedwarriors.ca./
On line condolences to the family can be expressed at: www.vjmcgillivray.ca.

Background: You work as a police officer or constable of some kind. Everyone knows you, but their opinions of you vary.
Oliver Duncan's grandfather was a lifelong soldier and a bit of a rogue. Even though he benefited from those exploits (fine clothes, public schooling, etc.) Oliver's father was embarrassed by the old gentleman's reputation.
Oliver was brought up 'Properly' by his father, who kept him away from his grandfather as much as possible (which of course only endeared him more to young Oliver).
Upon leaving school, rather than becoming a Man Of Business as his father had intended, Oliver joined the British Army. His father was not best pleased with this Act Of Rebellion and fully blamed Oliver's grandfather for filling his head with Tales Of Nonsense.
Oliver was stationed in India for several years and it was there that he received a brief letter from his father informing him that his grandfather had died, the funeral had already been held and all his property dispensed with according to his Will, with nothing left to Oliver. His father had concluded with the hope that there would now be an end to All This Foolishness.
He took part in the five-month Duar War in Bhutan during 1864-65 and served entirely adequately, if not with distinction, and returned home soon after where he joined the London Metropolitan Police Department.
Which brings us to 1870…

Futoshiki sets the example of what every Kindle game and application should strive for. It is fun, challenging, and includes great graphics and has intuitive navigation.
It is Sudoku with an added twist. For those of you who are familiar with the basics of Sudoku, it is a set of 3×3 grids within a larger 9×9 one. The goal is to insert numbers from 1-9 in all of the squares with a different number for each cell. Both Sudoku and Futoshiki start out with a few numbers already filled in.
As one who is definitely not a math person, I was a little intimidated by the < and > signs that are added into the 5×5 and 7×7 grids at first, but they're actually there to help you.
"I'm not a huge fan of standard Sudoku — I like it, but find it somewhat difficult, repetitive, and kind of boring. Futoshiki is a whole lot better and I absolutely love it. While the < > signs on the board may appear as additional requirements/restrictions at first, they in fact act as clues and make the game a bit easier (less trials and errors) and more interesting than Sudoku, at least to me. That opens a whole new way of thinking that I find most satisfying."
After I got going, with Futoshiki, I actually got to like it a lot, and do intend to play more often when I get spare time. I think it is fun to play around with the numbers until you can get them situated right.
I took advantage of the instruction manual, and got the basics of the game. But, I really got the gist of it when I dove in and tried a few puzzles on my own. Use the manual to learn how to access hints and keyboard shortcuts. While you are in the game, be careful with how many hints you use. If you have some left over, you can get bonus points.
"This game is similar to Sudoku, but quicker. It's fun & easy to pick up while traveling. I highly recommend it if you want something fun to do while waiting or in between reading. Worth the price! "
One quick note about the navigation. Be sure you make the distinctions between the annotation button and the actual number. You can annotate each square to help figure out what number would be the best fit, but the process is somewhat difficult if you aren't careful.
Braintonik has done a great job with Futoshiki. Great graphics and high marks by reviewers. You can't get much better than that! Good for players of all skill levels.

Homeschool musings, Family update and a cool blogSaturday, January 19, 2008
We use Sonlight Curriculum which I am very happy to say works wonderful for us. I like the focus on Bible and memorization and the stories are wonderful. We learn many fabulous things that the kids love to share with Dad when he gets home. We have also been taking much advantage of our local PBS station and watching Signing Time and their various reading programs. Joey(16) and Eli (15) are also enjoying Sonlight very much and are learning church history.
The little guys are listening to His Kids Radio online. It has kid's music and shows all day that keep their little hearts focused on Jesus.
Joey and Eli are working every week on Friday night at the pizza restaurant and they are almost ready to take their last class to get their driver's license.Jed is doing a little Minquon math in school and he is doing very well. We tried the reading thing and he just isn't ready so we are going to hold off on that for a while. He is always telling me and dad that he loves us. He spends a lot of his time playing with swords (or whatever passes a sword in his imagination at the moment). As I type he and David have invaded my office with a mish mash of shields and makeshift swords.
David is a lover of computer and nintendo. We have to limit his time so he does other things (like fight with swords). He is doing really well with both his math and reading but his handwriting is terrible!! LOL We are working on that but we have a long row to hoe.
Twila got a CD player for Christmas and loves listening in her room to Christian music and audio stories. She has begun to do her own hair. Sometimes it turns out very well. Sometimes.... She is learning to read well and is reading basic chapter books. We have also been working on grammar.
Josiah is doing great. His progress with reading and math is very slow but there is progress. I am considering doing the GFCF diet with him again. We tried it once but didn't see a lot of results. However, we only did it for about a month and perhaps should give it longer.
Finally here is a blog to check out, every Friday she posts a free knitting pattern: Kathleen Taylor's Dakota Dreams

Just in case you haven't found this yet please check it out: http://www.craftlit.blogspot.com/ It is wonderful! Today I listened to The Lady and The Tiger. I have been looking for that story since highschool! It is fabulous! Go listen, tell Heather (is it alright if I call you Heather?) her podcast is great, then tell me what you think of the story!
I found these wonderful patterns to make sock monkey convertible mittens (I think that is what they are called, you know they can be either fingerless or mittens....). They are just darlin'. Here is the sock monkey head: http://www.yoelknits.blogspot.com/ (you have to scroll down, it was posted January 14th) and here is the fingerless glove: http://myknittingbasket.blogspot.com/2007/12/sock-monkey-fingers-popped-out-wrist.html

My first blog...how exciting....Wednesday, January 9, 2008
Wow! I am really excited about this but not sure I have much to say!!! I am a busy mom that can stay focused on one thing for too long! I sew, quilt, knit, scrapbook, play guitar, play around on the keyboard plus sing with the worship team at my church. 2008 is my year to get organized! That means more time to do the things I enjoy like playing games with my kids!

Tanzanian tracks & tours
We've been neglecting our blog terribly in the last three weeks and we apologise for that. Things have been quite busy here at the MAPA Project – in a good way! One of the reasons we've been so quiet is that we've recently been attending, and given trainings at the ATBC/SCB Africa conference in Arusha. We'll tell you more about that soon, but this week we wanted to share three small tours we created with conference delegates whilst in Tanzania. These tours aren't flashy at all – and purposefully so!
Being in the business of visualising conservation, we're very fond of Google Earth tours, but they can take a really time to put together! This needn't always be the case, though, and you don't have to create a 15-minute-all-singing-all-dancing-master-piece to use this tool in your day-to-day work to visualise important information and concepts to your colleagues, students, peers or a public audience.
To illustrate this point, and share a small piece of Tanzania's splendour with you, here are three short, simple, and pretty unpolished tours. We'll upload these to our Google Earth layer, so you will also be able to download them from the "click here to see more buttons" for these particular protected area bubbles.
Taking it from the top – literally – we fly to Kilimanjaro first. Towering approximately 5100m above the surrounding landscape at Moshi, there are certainly many ecological stories you could tell about Kilimanjoro. In this case, however, we only have one small piece of information that we're interested in conveying: Kili's shrinking snow-caps.
Kilimanjaro is a great place (regrettably!) to use the time-slider in Google Earth. So, during our in-conference demonstrations, we showed participants how they could drag the time-slider back to see what the snow-caps used to look like in 1976, snapshot-view this perspective, then create another snapshot view to a current-day image, add a picture in a pop-up bubble, import a gps track, draw a polygon around the old snow-caps – and finally, add a bit of voice narration. It's not a tour that will make it into the showcase, but it tells a story! And it probably took about 10 minutes to put together.
Download the tour here
Next, we stay in northern Tanzania and head for Ngorongoro crater for a slightly more touristy rendezvous. In this case, we simply tried to virtually represent the experience of travelling down the Ngorongoro crater, encountering spectacular wildlife and a scary numbers of cameras clicking away at these animals! To make this three-minute virtual safari, I just imported my GPS tracks from the day's drive, syncronised them with some of the photographs I took on my visit (I used gpicsync, but there are many other packages you could use), animated the track in Google Earth and popped the photographs at certain points I had snapshot viewed before hand. It took all of 15 minutes to make.
Download the tour here
You can, of course, get more flashy with tours, as we showed in a very small way with the little one-minute tour we created for Katavi National Park. In this tour, we delved into the KML code, and changed the visibility of our screen-overlays and the co-ordinates of our polygons, to create the effects you see in the tour. Again, even though this tour contains a few more advanced elements, it's still very simple and tells a very short and contained story.
For a very gentle introduction to more advanced touring – have a look at the tutorial we put together…it contains links to many other more advanced and comprehensive tutorials on touring as well – if you really want to get serious about creating tours.
Download the tour here
Once you've recorded and saved your tour, you can create an offline movie file using Google Earth Pro or screen-capture software like Camtasia and include this movie in your PowerPoint presentation…you won't even need Google Earth or an internet connection to show your visualisation to your audience (you could, of course, also embed your tour in a website if you wanted to).
Also – don't forget to upload it to your MAPA project bubble. If you click on the "KML" tab when you enter information for your project, you'll see an option for uploading your KML/KMZ file. Your tour will appear as a "footprint" and anyone who clicks on your bubble will be able to play your tour in Google Earth.
There are spectacular Google Earth tours available that showcase issues and areas in Africa – have a look, for example, at the Save the Elephants tour, or some of the Cop15 and Cop16 tours. If you would like to create one of these, you'll have to put in the time, and may even have to look at hiring a developer. But you don't have to be a developer, or have lots of time on your hands, to utilise Google Earth tours to visualise a problem, concept or dataset. Get started with this tutorial, and let us know what you come up with! Remember to add your KML/KMZ file to your MAPA Project record!

April MadFriars' Players of the Month
The MadFriars.com team, which provides the most comprehensive coverage of the Padres' minor league system, is back again this year to report on top performers at every level of the organization each month. These reports are not meant to be revisions of their top prospect rankings, but rather news about recent performances worthy of attention.
El Paso Chihuahuas (Triple-A)
After the first month of the season, the Chihuahuas lead the Pacific Coast League in most offensive categories. Hunter Renfroe and Alex Dickerson have been the biggest contributors, with Dickerson slightly edging out his higher-profile teammate. The Poway native hit .364/.419/.576, good for an OPS nearly 80 points better than Renfroe's.
Austin Hedges was off to a stellar start, hitting .333 and a .583 slugging percentage before he suffered an injury to the hamate bone in his wrist. He'll now be sidelined for a few months. In his absence, Jason Hagerty has absolutely crushed the baseball, with a 1.059 OPS in 40 plate appearances, though he'll continue to log most of his work at first base and designated hitter.
Things have not been nearly as encouraging on the mound. The four guys who've taken a turn each time through the Chihuahuas' rotation have combined to give up a 6.98 ERA and sport an uninspiring 43:26 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 80 innings. Carlos Pimentel was the best of the bunch, putting up a 4.87 ERA in April.
The bullpen has been a bit better as Tayron Guerrero and minor league free agent signees Derek Eitel and Jose Dominguez have all had positive results at the back end. While they posted a 1.71 ERA, they've still allowed 18 free passes in 25.1 innings for the month.
El Paso Player of the Month: Alex Dickerson
San Antonio Missions (Double-A)
The early surprise in the organization has been the performance of Jose Rondon and Taylor Lindsey up the middle for the Missions. Both were acquired from the Angels for Huston Street at the deadline in 2014, and they both carried averages north of .300 through April.
Lindsey, now getting his third taste of Double-A after going backward last year, had the strongest line in April with an impressive .322/.400/.559. The 24-year-old appeared to be in much better condition this spring than he was last year. Rondon bounced back from a rough introduction to the Texas League and an elbow injury last year, hitting .314 while logging 18 games at shortstop this month..
After the 2015 Lake Elsinore pitching staff limped through the season, the Padres turned to the minor league free agent market to try to find some stability for the Missions this year. While the strategy hasn't paid off in general, Cesar Vargas made a pair of strong starts as the organization moved him back out of the bullpen, ultimately earning a spot on the big league roster based on 12.2 strong innings. The only returner in the rotation, Bryan Rodriguez, threw three strong games to secure an early-season promotion to El Paso.
Jose DePaula, who struggled as a starter, has embraced his relief role, and owns a 1.35 ERA with an impressive 10:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio through his first six innings. While unheralded righty Jason Jester missed some time on the disabled list, he also has laid claim to the closer's spot and recorded three saves in as many chances. The 2014 draftee is an under-the-radar name to watch.
San Antonio Player of the Month: Taylor Lindsey
Lake Elsinore Storm (Advanced-A)
While the middle infield duo of Javier Guerra and Luis Urias get plenty of (well-deserved) attention, it's 21-year-old Josh VanMeter who paced the Storm offense through April. After missing most of last year after suffering a broken leg, VanMeter hit .304/.371/.518, leading the club in all three categories while splitting time between second and third base. Among players with 50 plate appearances, Guerra was next on the club with a .713 OPS.
Coming into the season, the important pitching storylines for the Storm were Dinelson Lamet's progress and a deep bullpen. Through the first month, both have been positive. Lamet, whose career didn't get started until last year when he was 22, has been fantastic through his first five games, posting a 1.73 ERA with only 17 hits allowed in 26 innings. After working on a short leash last year, the Dominican has already gone six innings twice in April, and he'll be given a chance to stretch out more as the season goes on.
The Storm bullpen has depth, balance, and a lot of talent. Lefty Kyle McGrath has been the best of the bunch, working 12.2 innings of scoreless ball with a ridiculous 19:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Righty Jimmy Brasoban, who landed on the disabled list late in the month, didn't allow a run in 8.2 innings. Righties T.J. Weir and Colby Blueberg, and lefties Jose Torres and Brad Wieck have all been dominant as well, combining for a 1.67 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 48.1 innings.
Lake Elsinore Player of the Month: Dinelson Lamet
Fort Wayne TinCaps (Low-A)
Austin Allen's pre-draft profile last year was a bat-first catcher. A month into his first full season in the minors, he's wearing that "bat-first" label pretty well. The 22-year-old from St. Louis got off to an absurdly hot start and finished April with a .460/.539/.603 slash line. While that's fueled in part by an unsustainable average on balls-in-play over .500, he's also posting very good strikeout and walk rates, and hitting the ball hard.
As strong as Allen's been, the team leads the Midwest League in runs because of a number of encouraging performances. Luis Tejada, playing the outfield in his fourth stint with the TinCaps, only went hitless in three of his 15 starts, posting an OPS of .905 that was good enough to earn a promotion to Lake Elsinore. Corner infielder Ty France posted an impressive .453 on-base percentage, continuing the trend since he was drafted out of San Diego State last summer. Meanwhile, big first baseman Brad Zunica clubbed three homers early and has an isolated power rate of nearly .200, though he'll need to cut his strikeout rate through the summer.
The TinCaps pitching staff is one of the strengths of the system, and many pitchers showed their upside in the season's first month. Logan Allen stood out among the teenagers on the roster, posting a 2.08 ERA with a strikeout an inning. Fellow trade acquisitions Jean Cosme (4.50 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 20 innings) and Enyel De Los Santos (2.70, 17K in 16.2 IP) also looked strong in their first Padres exposure. The club's top two selections in last year's draft, Jacob Nix and Austin Smith, had matching 3.86 ERAs, though both issued more walks than they'd like.
Among the 2015 college draftees, Brett Kennedy and Elliot Ashbeck led the way. Kennedy, an 11th-round pick, had a club-best strikeout rate with 19 in 17.1 innings, while Ashbeck, a product of Bradley University, led the team with a 1.63 ERA. With so many arms and several games lost to weather, only Walker Lockett logged more than 20 innings in the month, though you can expect to see the team stretch out their starters in the coming month.
Fort Wayne Player of the Month: Austin Allen
System Player of the Month: Austin Allen
Allen certainly has plenty to prove after just one month of full-season ball, especially behind the plate, but he reached base in significantly more than half his plate appearances in April, spraying line drives around the field in the process. He enters May leading all of minor league baseball in batting average and on-base percentage, so it's hard to imagine a more impressive start to the season.

So last night I got out for what may have been my first late night summer ride, and it was freaking awesome! I met Charlie and Richaround at about 9:30, which was the earliest I could make it up to the foothills after getting my boy to bed. It had rained earlier in the day, the trails were as grippy as the north foothills can be, but not a spot of mud anywhere. And as an added bonus, there was a full moon (or very close to a full moon). The air was cool with more humidity than usual, of course we didn't see anybody else on the trail, and we had a great time.
As we finished the ride and rolled up to our cars, it started to rain again. We had timed our ride perfectly. A post ride beer sitting in the battlewagon, watching the rain fall on the windshield, BS'ing and reminiscing about causing trouble as kids and the assorted things that were chosen to be thrown at vehicles in the search for entertainment (eggs, water balloons, dirt clods, and of course pastry dough).
It was one of the most fun rides I've had in the North Foothills, and completely worth sacrificing a couple of hours of sleep for. So from now on, the after-the-kids-are-asleep ride will no longer be a thing of myth. I'll give a heads up next time we're planning on getting out late, and maybe some of you will join us.
In shop news, almost all or our sponsored racers are up in Crested Butte this weekend, racing their little hearts out just because they love Bikeworks so much and want to make us look good.
Our boy Alex will be there racing XC and trying to follow up with his Super D win at Angel Fire a few weeks ago
He did the race on our Transition Covert demo bike, and has borrowed it again for this weekend. I hear in Angel fire he beat 2nd place by something like 20 seconds. Beefcake! Clearly, it was because of the bike.
In other racing news, Swinton took a win in the A race at the Tuesday Night Crits this week. He was there supposedly to help out our buddy Bradner, who is currently leading the points race for the TNC's and should be in good shape to take the win for the series. However, Swinton being the glory stealing attention whore, took off solo with three laps to go and solo'd for the win, leaving Bradner to fend for himself. We're very proud of Danny though, congrats.
This coming Tuesday is the finale of the Tuesday Night Crit Series. I believe we will be there in Bikeworks style (i.e. BBQ and beer) to cheer on our racers and heckle anybody who looks like they are taking things too seriously (it is a training race, remember). So come on by and join us. Hopefully we'll have a jersey or two winning a race or two, and if not, we'll at least have grilled meat and beer.
That's about all I've got. Going out to Tunnel, meeting our favorite Doctor at 8am if anybody is interested in watching me flog myself around Otero on my singlespeed. Now I've got to go check out Bike Snob, haven't checked his site all week, I've got catching up to do.
Love you, bye.

Richards tips Ashes repeat
Barry Richards believes Graeme Smith and South Africa can give Australia "a dose of the Ashes" when the three-Test series begins on March 16. Richards said the Proteas had a "real chance" of reversing the January result in Australia, especially with the visitors missing Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie.
"Even though Smith copped a hiding in Australia, he is strong-willed enough to bounce back and he has made it his mission to give Australia a dose of the Ashes," The Courier-Mail reported Richards writing in his internet diary. "Already Australia without McGrath, and inexplicably Jason Gillespie, have been found wanting. Their back-up bowling is not high class and South Africa have been quick to seize on that."
Richards also said the home batsmen were more comfortable facing Shane Warne than in previous years and bowling was not their only problem. "Australia are starting to look vulnerable in all facets of the game," he said. "No young batsmen are putting their hands up and the bowling stocks look worse."
Shane Watson, the allrounder who took two wickets in the second and third ODIs, said Australia would be a different proposition in the Tests. "It's pretty hard to read too much into the first couple of games," Watson said in The Courier-Mail after Friday's loss. "One-day cricket, you can turn it around so quickly, and we were playing pretty good cricket just a couple of weeks ago."

Funny Ha Ha
We Latinos are known for many positive characteristics, such as our strong family bonds, fierce work ethic, and inherent sexiness (really, it's a thing).
However, we don't have the reputation of being particularly funny people. As I've written before, Hispanic equivalents to Jon Stewart or Chris Rock or Tina Fey are tough to name.
But maybe that has less to do with culture than with access.
Historically, there has been no hub for Latino comedy. To fill that niche, Broadway Video Enterprises (founded by SNL creator Lorne Michaels) recently launched Más Mejor, a new online comedy studio powered by Latino voices.
The site will feature content by Hispanic comedians and/or about Latino themes. Among the big names involved are SNL alumni Fred Armisen and Horatio Sanz, who joined together to contribute one of Mas Mejor's most popular videos so far. Other early hits include a takedown of Mexico City's tourism campaign and a jab at every Latino's favorite presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Future content will include topical sketches, cultural and political satire, and original web videos.
One of the site's partners is Batanga Media, which will distribute premium content to its 70 million monthly users.
Rafael Urbina, CEO of Batanga, agrees that few Latino comedians have broken through to the mainstream. But he sees that as less of an issue — and even less of a goal — going forward.
"Crossing over into the mainstream is great," Urbina says. "But Mas Mejor isn't so much about breaking through to the traditional media. It's more about engaging with the audience directly."
Urbina points out that Latinos in general, and young Hispanics in particular, are voracious consumers of online media. For example, Hispanics watch 62 percent more digital video than non-Hispanics.
To a Latino Millennial, therefore, it doesn't matter if a comedian has his own Comedy Central show or was featured in a Judd Apatow movie. All that matters is whether the guy makes them laugh when they click on a video downloaded to their phones.
"We can reach exactly who we want to reach, and not have to water down the content in hopes of reaching a mass audience," Urbina says. "If we do that well, we will create our own mass audience. A new mainstream."
It's an ambitious goal, and one that goes beyond proving that Hispanics can be funny. If Mas Mejor is successful, it could indicate a new model not just for Latino audiences, but for an increasingly digital world.
Urbina adds, however, that one element will always be essential when it comes to great comedy.
"Authenticity is a key pillar," he says. "Young Latinos love comedy, and if people are authentic and talented, we now have a way for them to build a dedicated following."

occurs in Leviticus 19:36 and Isaiah 46:6 , as the rendering of the Hebrew kanch' , which properly means "a reed" or "a cane," then a rod or beam of a balance. This same word is translated "measuring reed" in Ezekiel 40:3 Ezekiel 40:5 ; 42:16-18 . There is another Hebrew word, mozena'yim , i.e., "two poisers", also so rendered ( Daniel 5:27 ). The balances as represented on the most ancient Egyptian monuments resemble those now in use. A "pair of balances" is a symbol of justice and fair dealing ( Job 31:6 ; Psalms 62:9 ; Proverbs 11:1 ).

A decade-long love has led to "I do" for German national team captain Michael Ballack and the mother of his three children, Simone Lambe. Raindrops could not dampen the spirits of the guests who gathered inside Schloss Kempfenhausen's Knight's Hall near Lake Starnberg on July 14, 2008 to witness the bride walk down the aisle in a white wedding dress designed with illusion sleeves and a curve-conscious bodice.
After the civil ceremony, which was conducted by the local mayor, Bild reports that family and friends wished the newlyweds well during a party held at the Bavarian Yacht Club. The following day, the lovebird's union will once more be toasted during a breakfast at the Four Seasons Hotel in Starnberg and at another celebration, in which 400 attendees will dance to music provided by Berlin DJ Noppe.

KC DeaneUnited States
Ask KC Deane to choose between dirt or snow and he would probably freeze with indecision. The Idaho native now living in Whistler can't decide whether he prefers mountainbiking to skiing, and for some years now he hasn't had to. For a decade, KC's focus was
freestyle skiing, but in 2012 he got a bad itch for mountain biking again after seeing how RedBull Rampage has transformed the freestyle MTB scene. In no less than two years he qualified for RedBull Rampage and hasn't looked back. KC spends his summers surfing and mountain biking and the winters chasing big-lines in the backcountry and trying to capture those big moments on film. Wouldn't you too?
