Away from the Alps, the uninvited dream
2008-06-08 02:52:00 Now Euro 2008 is in full swing, spare a thought for those not invited to the party.36 European nations failed to make it to the Alps. England might stand out among them, but also missing is 2006 World Cup quarter-finalists Ukraine, plus nations of the calibre of Belgium, Serbia, Denmark, Slovakia, Norway and Ireland.England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland really should have revived the British Championship this summer and for extra spice added the Republic of Ireland and as a wild card, Gibraltar.A friendly with Gibraltar from any of the four UK nations with an empty diary this month would be a nice affirmation of the peninsula's desires to stay British.The Rock is not affiliated to UEFA, thanks to Spain's filibustering, so like an ugly girl or boy, they are desperate for any date. Given that it is customary to play a reciprocal fixture at your visitors' stadium after inviting them to yours, England could easily drop by for 90 minutes, though the apes would probably nick t...

Man Flies Like A Bird Over The Alps With Jet-Propelled Wings.
2008-05-19 21:03:00 Man Flies Like A Bird Over The Alps With Jet-Propelled Wings.Swiss Pilot Yves Rossy became the first man in the world to fly with jet-propelled wings.

Yves Rossy has spent 5 years training for this & finally he fulfilled his dream. Its said that so far Rossy & his sponsors, which includes a Swiss watch company Hublot, have poured more than $285,000 & many hours of work into building the device.

2008-04-11 02:00:00 Overseas property investors who want to buy something different to the norm are increasingly looking in the Alps, according to analysts. The BuyAssociation website stated that the area is proving to be an appealing choice because it offers a number of lifestyle and financial attractions. For example, visitors can enjoy numerous outdoor pursuits such as skiing, horse riding, walking, mountain biking and paragliding. Furthermore, it is an affordable place to reach and is easily accessible for 12 months of the year. Paul Collins, property editor at BuyAssociation, commented: "You can get low cost flights to the Alpine regions pretty much all year round," He added that many people who own properties in the Alps often let them out to visiting holidaymakers. The comments come after currency exchange firm HiFX recommended that prospective buyers look for an Alpine property in the summer. Mark Bodega, director of the company, said this is because investors are more likely t...
Debian Lenny: new kernel, new problem, plus the best distros for the Alps t
2008-03-29 16:04:00 The Linux kernel is a funny thing. A new kernel should mean increased functionality, but for me and my old-and-getting-older machines, I only seem to lose functionality with upgraded kernels. I hadn't updated Debian Lenny in a while on the $0 Laptop (the Gateway Solo 1450), and when I did it today, I noticed a new kernel being added to the system: 2.6.24-1. I didn't think about the new kernel when I next booted into Lenny, but when I did, I soon discovered that my sound card didn't work anymore. I looked at all the settings, tweaked a bit here and there, but still nothing.

French Kitchens - Chalets in the Alps
2007-07-14 14:23:00 Today is Bastille Day, commemmorating the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789. Of course, on this national holiday, always falling in the midst of the Tour de France, it is traditionally the day upon which French riders will make a special effort to take a stage victory for France! And, so, it is appropriate to show some kitchens from France today, and I think I have a treat for you! Since the Tour is entering the treacherous and stunningly beautiful French alps, let's take a look at some French country kitchens in some luxury chalets, oui? Images from the Oxford Ski Company, specialists in luxury ski vacations. I'm there...I just need to learn how to ski, just a detail! I hear tomorrow the route for the Tour is even more grueling in the mountains of France. I'm watching, are you? &-nbsp; As you can see in the first image, many of these chalets will accommodate from 10 to 20 people, or more. Some have 8-10 bedrooms, h...
