Some Googling shows this to likely be a snowflake etched onto a sphere of tin. ()
It would have been done with a focused ion beam, or electron beam, which is capable of etching metal at microscopic scales. And which is something we do where I work - and that's what I figured this was when I saw it. The "E-beam" note is a giveaway for electron beam etching. These beam tools are typically paired with some type of scanning electron microscope to be able to do things like this. It's pretty incredible. We use them mainly for moving or cutting microscopic metal in semiconductors to look for production issues or failures.
The longest winning streak in college football is 47 games by Oklahoma from 1953 - 1957 the team that broke the streak was Notre Dame. BTW the last team to beat them before the streak started was Notre Dame.
The longest winning streak in college basketball is 88 games by UCLA 1971 - 1974 the team that broke the streak was Notre Dame. BTW the team that beat them before the streak started was Notre Dame.
I have not checked all these facts but a friend that is a Notre Dame fan sent me this information and he has been a reliable person.

The UCONN women’s basketball team broke that streak by a good mile. 111 game win streak, Nov 2014 to April 2017. Actually fans wished they had lost before March madness that year. Instead they lost in the semis in OT.
UConn's record winning streak ends at 111 games

I can confirm that your friend is in fact reliable.
This showed up on my time line on Facebook. An early 60's Disney episode suspect it was shot in the late 50's from the gear and clothes. If you aren't familiar with Fred Iselin, he was a skiing great and the Ski School Director at Aspen for many years. This was the world I started skiing in (but nowhere near the experience Suzie had). At the least check out the racing scenes near the end, some are probably a Roach Cup of those years. Get your popcorn ready.
The gear looks very familiar to me. It's what I started on in the same year the Disney episode came out. What a flash from the past!

That is interesting, just not sure how to deal with electric and plumbing.Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity's first 3D-printed home in the US | CNN

Pretty much the beginning of helicopter skiing in North America.
It is still a great mountain.

Since this is random stuff and the holidays just finished, my question is:
What ski related stuff did you get for the holidays?
I will start, I received a six session pack of two hour lift tickets for the indoor skiing "Big Snow" here in NJ and an already posted Balaclava. Who's next?

Has anyone been receiving emails from "Requipper" a website that sells used equipment? I am not sure if they got my email address through the SKITALK contests or some other source. I have been receiving emails from some of the company that donated to the contests and that is fine but this "Requipper" doesn't ring a bell from the contests.
Press Release: - SkiTalk.com announces a new partnership with Requipper.com.
The internet is a can be a scary place, especially when you are buying used ski gear. How can you trust the legitimacy of fly-by-night sellers scamming, spoofing and ghosting potential buyers?

From a very close non-skier friend, my very own 'Jerry' ski carrying system.
Thank you I have always wanted one of those.
Will trade for a slightly used balaclava.
Thanks, I guess I missed that announcement or it just slipped my mind.

Who knew rats found land mines

Magawa, Rat That Hunted Land Mines, Dies in Retirement
The African giant pouched rat sniffed out more than 100 mines and other pieces of unexploded ordnance in Cambodia over five years, winning hearts and an international award.
^Unfortunately they need him after every monsoon. Anchovies on a pizza are envious of land-mine-in-mud swimming talents.
