Performance Ski Rentals

I've been renting skis for the last five years. I know, I know, should have bought some, but was never clear the kids would like it. Now, I'd like to try some fancy skis, but need them for a while. Here are some optiosn:
* www.wood-ski.com Rentals Woodinville Ski Rentals - www.wood-ski.com. $200 for performance ski rental. 1425485SKIS.

I am almost certain Sturtevant?s rents high-end stuff. Unless something has changed in the past few years (aside from their location), they had the best customer service around. They wanted you to be happy with your purchase, and I believe part of that was a ‘try before you buy’ attitude.

People who buy season passes would be interested to learn about SkierGuard, a special insurance program for frequent skiers and snowboarders. Most season passes are a “use-it or lose-it” proposition; SkierGuard protects one’s investment in a season pass if unexpected medical reasons prevent using it. SkierGuard reimburses passholders on a pro-rata basis for the value of an unused season ski pass. In addition, this package includes the following coverages while skiing at the resort(s) where the pass is valid:
* Emergency Evacuation up to $15,000
* Accidental Death/Dismemberment up to $10,000
Passholders may enroll anytime after a season pass is purchased. The cost is 6% of the pass price; see attached brochure for more information. For complete details and online enrollment, go to http://www.skierguard.com

Paul, Deon & Tong

Now with rotating cohosts Rich, Paul and Deon cover all the current news, all things Apple, Smart Home and Smart EDC with Paul. And all things Startups, Robotics, Smart Health and Artificial Intelligence with Deon. Or whatever they want to talk about.

Tips, tricks and traps on technology, mobile, software, machine learning and shopping since 1996

This time, we bumble through an episode featuring the amazing Mike Conte and we talk about what's wrong with this Podcast technically (see below), about ChatGPT, and about how you don't want to show others the Money. Mike is as always hilarious!

Ok, our exploration of Podcasting continues with tech glitches galore. First of all apologies to our 15 viewers. Please use this version as the audio had terrible cutouts because I was messing with the audio, this should work better (and it has the brightness turned down from 400 nits to 300 nits which help a little on TV-type HDR systems).

a) the segment producer problem and move to a news section and then a special topic, the news will be on cool things in Tech from AI to Gadgets to Smart Home, things opinionated Verge)
b) Audio, yes there are lots of glitches here, I had not realized that OBS really requires all manual controls. I just want Automatic Gain Control and Radio voice, but I'm learning. The audio in this one is very quiet because I had the Gain stage turned up, but didn't realize the compressor also had gained. And the Final Cut Pro gain is only 12dB. Also, I didn't realize how the Noise suppressor and gain work on low signals (like it cuts them out) and Zoom is very low.
c) Video, I've been mastering in HDR and the default in OBS is for 400 nits peak brightness, but while this looks awesome on iPhone, Mac, and iPad (let's call them ”real” HDR devices with 1000 peak nits), it looks dreadful on lesser HDR devices like my LG B9 which is only at most 400 nits. So I'll probably settle at say 300 nits for this next time, but most people I think are just getting the transcoded SDR Rec.709 output).
