Yeah I know this one well. for those who don't have the normal tendencies towards gluttony which is a human survival thing. Pre programmed.......!!!! eat as much as you can who knows when your next meal might be....... survival gene.!!!!. there are those of us who only eat to feel fed NOT FULL (supposedly 10% of US and 85% of France). If you are like that then the thing is a good French style diet. The sauces and other things that are so rich and satisfying keep the nibblers that are trying to find a good diet to loose weight, from eating between meals. So that helps them loose the extra LBS. For those like me who pig out on the veggie dip platter before dinner; The rich food makes up for it in giving a balanced diet of nutrients and carbs and calcium and minerals in a small portion ( all I have room left for). For example: tonight I barb'd two nice small boneless chicken breasts for the wife and i. Marinated in beer 1/2 and 1/4 terriaki and 1/4 home made Chipotle marinade. cooked on real hardwood charcoal not (yech) brickets (invented by henry ford (actually it was kettering's idea)to maximize profits from auto manufaturing by selling waste by products at profit). Olive oil on grill just before putting them on (don't worry about flare ups just use a real long handled brush and put the oil on it then on the grill metal). Olive oil the breasts lightly and put them on (olive oil is the good Cholesteral) close cover . turn when ready. when almost done baste heavily two times and turn both sides with super sweet spicy bbq sauce. Tonights was a honey/chipotle variation based on "sweet baby ray's sweet and spicy". Well, with the home made red cole slaw and the special baked beans ....... We did not even finish one of the discount frozen pack breasts off. So the no. 2 will become chicken salad !!!!!!! they are just to rich with the honey bbq sauce and all. So bottom line is you eat less but it is more filling more satisfying more rich and more sustaining to your individual correct weight. Forget the DR charts. My own doc told me they are for the average couch potato and have no accommodation for serious atheletes. Chase P.S. the DR. : So his book says I should weigh 195 I have not weighed that since a sophmore in HS. He has been my PCP for 15 years and knows if I get below 220 I am seriously sick. P.P.s. What you save on portion sizes goes towards good appropriate dry wine. Which cuts any fats and breaks down the richness and what little fat is left from the cooking style to ease your digestion and keep you healthy. Chase:ices_ange

As an ex ( in HS and college) assistant chef in a semi famous French restaurant. body excess is all about what you eat. Even if you only get variable excersize. The French eat super rich foodsmost of the time ( that all our doctors say is bad for us) they all smoke like chimeneys and yet they have no overweight problems as a general rule (if you have been to France you do not see very many fat folks) , a lower rate of heart disease and very little death from lung cancer compared to the USA. I have been the chief cook and chef since Marilyn and i married 32 years ago. I now have a bad back and other med problems. I was as a first year wrestler in HS in CT 1969, and as a first year competitor was runner up for the state championship against a 6th year wrestler, three time state champ in our weight class, and we emptied the stands 3 times because the ref would not call my pins. I wrestled at 198 graduated at 210. was 227 in training at Coronado (special operations) in San Diego in the navy in 1971 after a year plus at Colorado State in Ft Collins where I also wrestled. Still weigh in at 227 at age 56 even with all my med probs. so give me a pm and i will help you with eating habits. Plus can clue you in to a dance excersise routine that will help with weight , balance , snow board specific movements and more. Inversion, Eversion toe jam and shin strength. Been teaching since 1965. !!!!! I'll train you and you can tell the gang how it goes. It's called Dance Therapy!!!!!! and it is fun!!!!!!!! Hope you like Pink and Cristina A. Madona's not bad for it either. Gypsy jazz is good and some beat full type pounding blues works too. Chase

Hey jack and geoff and the other new englanders. If you want to come up to bradford, nh for the fourth of july celebration I'll just have time to brew up a batch of my five malt (from grain) + honey scottish imperial ale. Dangerous stuff at 13.5 to 15 %. i have to finish it with yeast booster or champagne yeast. Goes down smooth like a robust porter but with the hop bite of the late and much lamented international prize winning Lucknow IPA. I also brew an Ipa much like the Lucknow but it is a bit strong at 9%. Now with this kind of alcohol you guys have to bring your tents and turn in your keys to join the partai. We sorta (it is not legal) live in the 40 ft bus conversion next to the house, which has five bedrooms (empty no beds or furniture) and we are in the center of town in a box canyon. (Any body want to get together and buy a nice multi family ski/snowboard house?) The big white fireworks bangers have 7 to 9 echoes here. and the whole show can be watched from lawn chairs in the yard. So if you locals or any travelers want to contact me PM we can have a partai. I will brew for it but due to NH laws not give you any .....you will have to go through the barn basement and break into the wine cellar and "steal" it. OK GWS Ps geoff will be in east douglas sat for my dad's funeral. if you would like to meet afterward we can. 603 938 5282 cell 603 748 9602

My father Walter Kenyon Passed over last night. He was 88 years old. He was one of the first two Aeronautical Engineers to graduate with a specialty in rotary wing aircraft (helicopters) in the world. One of the founders of the Helicopter society and was the creator of the first attack helicopter squadron. He will be missed by many. and you know those little defroster wires in your car back and some front windows......He did that with a crude battery and toggle switch during the Korean war to keep the canopies on the jets from shattering when they landed in the calif desert ( now Miramar) which was at 120 degrees F in the shade He was the air maintenance boss. he had two buddies from Langley research NACA who had been recalled to navy service at Hughes Aircraft In San Diego (actually La Hoya) that helped. they were all on recall From NACA the predecessor to NASA so public knowledge no patents. SAme with the famous NACA type /shaped air inlet ducts seen on so many race cars over the last 50 years. He drew the original on a paper napkin at lunch while at Langley and the wind tunnel. It was originally an air inlet to cool the transmission below the rotors on a Sikorsky helicopter that he designed to use the high pressure effect back in 1950 or 51. GWS:(

showed this one to Ten Cats Woman she only had....... One comment Aw **** ya just know the offspring will be "Statuesque"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GWS:D

:oOh forgot to mention if you limit use of the lcd display and primarily use the viewfinder which zooms with the camera lens batteries really last well. Most important thing I forgot to mention is the Powershots all have a :biggthump"widescreen" mode which is super great on the mountain or on the lake. GWS

I used to be a part time pro photog too. A bit of back ground. for good stuff I still use a Yashica TL electro X the progressive LED light meter is trick to go one or even 1/2 stop under or over. Yu can go auto arpeture or or shutter preffered mode and more. I like the manual so if you get the 1/4 stop under exposure you wnat by turning the speed you can see it in the LEDs and you will fire the nine piece elctroninc guilotine shutter at 1/573 of a second if that is what you set. The thing is a big heavy beast but is stalble with a big zoom onn the front. So ....I usually shoot and manual mode. I have collected enough of them for parts off eBay so I was set with that. So basically I am spoiled by a super controllable SLR.:rolleyes: Two years ago I bought a Cannon powershot A530 4x optical zoom 5.0 megapixels. It does macro closups for eBay trinkets and has greaqt deppth of field at full zoom. Small compact rugged so far and easy to use . has plenty of auto modes and manual modes and a special mode for shooting on snow or water. It seems to handle the cold on the mountain quite well except that cold makes my sticky lens cover assembly worse. I should get it fixed but a tap on the side of the lens when it extends takes care of it and I use it so much I don't want to be without it for weeks. The only regret is not spending the extra coin for the next up model, but now the 550 is available and is an even better deal. GWS

Pdad i think you win the prize for the best of thread for May. any nay sayers? KC and I reserve fnnal vote on this as Tis is our thread but than k you al for coming with us on this journey GWS

even in the late crazy financial world eighties I worked at a major ski area where we had a local who knew everyone and their families become ski school supervisor all of a sudden. Guess what We had 124 or more instructors. many of them teen agers. but myself and five other older guys every single weekend were not allowed to have time to run Nastar at 1:00 on Saturdays, because we 5 were teaching the only ten booked lessons. Meanwhile 80 of the official instructors never taught even one single lesson all season. Not even when Howard Brooks, two others in their fifties and I were teaching beginner classes of 24 or more students solodid these other "instructors" even have to help teach. Yeah they raise the ticket prices like that and all professionalism in the sport goes out the window before the snow falls. GWS

Too easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 15 to count the notes they can actually play in tune 1 to conduct them while they play said fifteen notes. and two to listen and turn the bulb 71/2 turns out new one 71/2 turns in. total viola players to change a light bulb = n +c + t = 18 = the notes viola players claim to be able to play in tune.:D URI dean of Music uncle was viola player LOL:smashfrea GWS

Heya gecko Yoda must be communicating to you Roadies. LOL Both my parents included. One from Woonsocket where the cars are parked side by each. And one from Aponaug where you had to learn Sicilian just to get by. LOL Used to frequent Misquamicutt all the time in my youth. Is the pavillion still there? GWS:D

Just a note At Ragged Mountain we had special snowboards for a Nursery program with 3 to 5 year olds as one on one with an instructor. So the gear does exist. There was a lot of debate on wether to use soft boots or hard. As most of the littles ones had not had dry land we used ski boots for them. With a proper dry land pre-snow training program I would for sure go with soft boots to allow them to develop muscles, balance and flexibility.

Hi Boris glad things are sorta going better for you. I have started in with some Bowen Technique therapy. It is workings wonders according to the wife. Even if i am not sure after celebrating our 32 anniversary on May 15 I will always trust her judgment. As to getting the little ones on the slopes: I'd like to re-iterate something I have spoken of before. At this age children develop New muscles and skills rapidly as they learn to walk and talk. So If they are given the right environment and learn ski or snowboard skill on dry land, you can put them on snow at age two and they have better motor skills and muscle development for snow sports than the average 6 year old. Son Sam and the others Were skiing and riding the T-bar solo in the beginner area at age two. At age three they were skiing the whole mountain, and not in a wedge/snowplow either. So I have games for the living room for skiing maybe we can join up in the off season and figure out some for snowboard. then we could put together a first draft book and have this on line community act as editors. then we could self publish it. Set up a non profit for any net gains to to have a fund/org that provides loaner gear on cheap deposit for parents to start their children out with dryland and then on snow at age 15 months to four years. What do you think Boris? and what to all you guys and gals think ? I helped write the original SkiWee manual so I have a cloudy vague:confused: idea of how to do a technical manual for parents. Feedback please! GWS

I can tell you this teaching cello part time in the late sixties and early seventies the days of mini skirts and 75% of the cello students were female was real fun. LOL Old joke : only took up cello "cause most cellists are female and my Dean of music at URI convinced me that they were going to start making them out of Glass! Enjoy. this could be a real fun thread especially if jaking and branching out is allowed. GWS

BAnd Tuba or Concert Tuba? or do you play both. Somewhere I read that band tuba players smoetimes have problems with concert tuba. Is it the concert version is more sensitive? bigger range? I am just curious. Maybe there is no difference and concert players just started a we are superior rumor! GWS

Anyone else like it? how about classical and heavy metal and on and on I know here at Chez Mainson DeKenyon we have very eclectic musical tastes. I would be interested in learning What kinds of music everyone likes and listens to. Right now as I finish preparing Beef Bourgione for dinner I'm listening to Pink's Missundaztood album. the one with the studio version of her and Local legend Steve Tyler's duet of "misery". the sonfg is a total blues thing. OH yeah! So good thread Idea KIng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 GWS

:o:o Did not mean to imply blanket Assumption. Just a possible consideration. Please accept my apology. I can remember spending 12 hours a day in front of an old DEC VT100 Circa 1976, and the crazy Dungeons and Dragons guys on DARPA Net were the only thing that kept me from going nuts while waiting for a re-compile on RSX11M ver. 1.02. LOL so I get it Sorry I offended you. GWS

Poor D-Sub: was posted. Ok NOT! Well it appears from the posts here that his attitude got the better of him. It is done. It was done right for just cause. This board has reasonable rules that are posted and we should also include the unwritten rules of proper mutual respect and politeness. I will say these few things. I have been teaching snow sports since 1965. I am totally dedicated to the sports and professional coaching and teaching. I thank the moderators and Fin and Michelle just for putting this together as a board and forum. I check the Off topics every day and am amazed at the links to all kinds of neat videos and other stuff this group comes up with. My biggest problem is if it is time to be cooking dinner for the family (I'm an ex chef and so the chief cook here), and turn to the pc here in the kitchen to check out the threads I end up looking at youTube and then following You Tube links and all of a sudden dinner is an hour late. So I thank everyone for their participation. Of all the boards and email groups I am a member of this is my favorite. On the average most people here are polite and seem to be able to carry on an intelligent conversation/interchange of ideas. A good example would be the extension of the best song thread into a discussion on hard core musicianship and instruments. Entertaining and very informative for all who participated. On the subject of post count: I probably have one of the lowest post counts per months of membership here. And I do not have a regular job. As a disabled vet I can only work/ride/ski/clean the house standing for about 3 to four hours max at a time. So when I see mega posts per day or month I have to conclude that those folks have a relatively empty life except for this extended family. All families have their little (hopefully minor) disagreements at times. So when one who post a lot gets out of line I just take it as they're feeling threatened by something in one or more threads. Cut them some slack and set examples of tolerance. If things get personal be above it and do not respond "in kind" . A flame war requires more than one person. So In parting, let me once again thank all of you for allowing me to be part of this, and for you all being here as part of this close knit extended family. Dohiyi (walk in peace) GWS:biggthump

but there is nothing in my life as important as music not even carving so for give us musical nut cases for taking over this thread GWS more to come this one has a soft sound track so needs to be cranked a bit

whoaqh another cellist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember in greater hartford youth symphony at hart college of music In cT the year round version of all state no one could beat the cellists at arm wrestling on the piano on stage left. yet .......... you are all right on The thing to remember is classical score was usually written with viola in alto clef sometime special passages were written in alto for other instruments. For any conducting class at any music school of stature I have ever heard of the four traditional clefs are still expected to be read automatically by a "want to be" conductor. before i go any further with this anyone who is not cello familiar download the soundtrack of yo yo ma from the chinese movie about the famous sword, you will find that a cello in harmonics can actually go higher than a violin it is related to the air column harmonics of the interior volume which the violin does not have enough of from it's size. Believe me on this as a cello and violin maker if you want we can take that proof to a new thread. It is a similar phenomenon to some of the unusual air column harmonics that happen in pipe organ pipes. Yeah I started at Hartt College of Music on pipe organ at age five. Switched to Cello in second grade So you have a symphony score, even Walt Disney's Pinocchio, written in four clefs. True except for symphony score the alto clef is little used. But is is Imperative for cello solo work. When you have a range from full bass c to higher than a violin in harmonics as used in Boccerini's concerto or Corelli's sonata or CPE Bach's sonata and concerto's you need all four clefs. So yes the cello is a difficult instrument; at all state we had violinists making it after five years of study. Yet no cellist made it with less than ten years of study. The cello is just as sensitive to finger position and location and pressure as a violin, yet you have over four times the fingerboard and range to screw up on........ food for thought If you can play a concert with a cello you can play a concert with just about any instrument you care to learn. 12 string "Leo Kotke " style ,Julian Bream style classical , or have John Hartford teach you, while he is screwing around with dad's Hamond organ, Josh White blues while visiting Ovation Instruments in 1968 yeah get me going on music and we really are brothers of a kind GWS:D y
