6 April (Part 2) - What use are Bexley Council webcasts?
There was a People Scrutiny Committee meeting last night but I didn't go.
Right to the last minute I planned to be there but I am on my third really nasty
cold since Christmas. I've been at Council meetings before and suffered
non-stop coughing fits and it is not fair on anyone. Last night
they returned with a vengeance so I hope James Hunt is duly grateful for my absence.
I hoped to be able to provide an adequate report based on the webcast which I audio recorded and watched live but Bexley's webcast proved to be technical disaster zone. Are they always that bad?
My PC is equipped with fairly beefy speakers, several years ago some wannabe pop mogul mixed a record on them, although it's true I no longer use such an expensive multi-channel sound card. Last night at full volume I could barely hear a word. By sticking my recorder right up against a speaker cone and boosting the record level above normal I have miraculously ended up with a recording which can be heard, albeit with a strange acoustic and poor signal to noise ratio.
The guest speakers didn't help. The first one decided to speak standing up which put his head out of the camera's view and his mouth a long way from the microphone. The next speaker didn't seem to realise she had a microphone although not standing improved audibility somewhat.
Both were commenting on a projected slide show which couldn't be seen, so the internet audience was treated to a near mute commentary on a presentation they were not able to see.
All I learned from those two medical types that may be of widespread interest is that the new cancer treatment unit should open at Queen Mary's Hospital by the summer, the radiotherapy machines have been delivered to site. Good news for many I am sure but us Northerners will probably find it easier and quicker to go to St. Thomas' by train than sit for ever on a meandering 229 bus. It would get boring after 37 consecutive day trips. Been there done that! (And buses don't have toilets on board.)
Dialysis facilities are expected by 2017.
The new management teams have provided patients with wi-fi too which may or not please one BiB reader who has been stuck in QEH for five weeks with nothing but a window looking on to a blank wall for entertainment.
The medics said the developments were "exciting" and a number of councillors agreed. A Phoenix appears to have risen from the disaster of six years ago when locals feared the hospital would give way to more houses. Something I have wondered about; with their being no maternity facilities in the borough, does it mean that future genealogists will come across almost no registration records that say, place of birth Bexley?
There was a new police officer to report crime statistics although it was confirmed that Jeff Boothe was still the borough's Chief Superintendent. Superintendent Bell reeled off the usual set of numbers.
Burglary, robbery, theft of and from motor vehicles, criminal damage and violence, when combined for a MOPAC (Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime) statistical exercise, were down over the past 12 months, Bexley being third best in London by that percentage measure. Over three years there have been more than 600 fewer victims of crime in Bexley, per year presumably. Unfortunately violence and thefts of vehicles are on the up.
The operation in Thamesmead to attempt to rid it of its serious illegal motorbike activities was deemed a success with about a dozen arrests in three weeks but it may prove difficult to repeat it. The problem has apparently simply been moved to another borough.
Councillor Alan Downing was perplexed by the fact that motorcyclists who are not wearing crash helmets are not pursued by the police in case the poor dears fall off and hurt themselves. Councillor Downing has a consistent record of cutting through the politically correct claptrap that has destroyed common sense. Teachers, medics, policemen, they are all fair game to him and it is "ludicrous". Well said that man.
Supt. Bell continued; "An increasing level of policing resources is having to be diverted to cyber crime and bullying, social media offences". However figures are not recorded "but it is, particularly among younger people, a growing trend. Some of the behaviour on line is really destructive to people's lives". I'd better not comment.
Before closing the meeting, the Chairman said that two regular members of the Committee would be leaving the Council very soon. Sheila Murphy, Deputy Director of Children's Social Care and Moyra Pickering, Deputy Director of Education both resigned their posts within a couple of weeks of each other. Ms. Murphy is going to Sunderland and Ms. Pickering is to retire. Ms. Murphy had been at Bexley for 33 or 34 years according to Chairman James Hunt.
It wasn't just the frequently low audio levels which devalued the webcast, there were numerous periods of total silence causing the mic activated cameras went back to the default overall view of the Council Chamber.
Bexley Council never did make public their May 2015 review of the case for and against webcasting. My recollection is that they set aside £20,000 a year for the service. Maybe a Freedom of Information request is in order. It looks to me like money down the drain.
The webcams revealed a total absence of any member of the public witnessing the event, but it is the only way to properly understand what goes on.

This new tourism slogan for the Philippines is really great. Though it is similar to Switzerland tourism campaign the 1950's, the impact of the "more fun" is incomparable mostly to our own Filipino OFW's and who misses the Philippines culture. It is a wake up call to our Filipino brothers and sisters all over the world to reconnect and make the Philippines a "Value Fun Destination" not just because of our beautiful white beaches, but the culture, our good charming values and the people itself. Let me start my slogan "True Bonding. More Fun in the Philippines!"
Being a Kid. This is the happiest moments during our life where having fun with our playmates is our routine. The age of our innocence and dreaming beyond. Our foundation of strength with our truest friends. We will always be Kids at Heart!
Indeed. True Pinoy Bonding, More Fun in the Philippines!

Big Sur & the Central California Coast
Big Sur is a captivating coastal drive that extends from Monterey & Carmel, south to about Ragged Point. It is extremely popular year round, although the rainy winter months can be a challenge when a big Pacific storm rolls in and lingers. As beautiful as the area is, services are rather limited. There are several gas stations, restaurants and lodging options, the latter are typically booked well in advance and are expensive, so last-minute overnight road trips may not be a good idea. Cell coverage is spotty throughout the area and practically non-existent between MM 45 and MM 59 near San Simeon.
Driving requires your full attention on the narrow roads. Competing for that attention are the beautiful views that draw people from around the world. So, take your time and stop at the many pull-outs.

Monterey and Carmel are very popular tourist destinations. Everyone should drive the 17-Mile Drive once, but once will probably do it.
The Lone Cypress at sunset is very popular with photographers. However, it's also very popular with everyone else. Given the limited parking, I recommend you get there an hour before sunset, especially if you plan on using a tripod. People are polite and cooperative with each other, but don't be surprised if a bus unloads passengers just when you're about to shoot. (And, don't be surprised if foreign tourists ask you to take their photos with their camera. Be gracious--it's fun to help them out.)

Your Tampa Vision Therapy Specialists
Many patients have never heard of Vision Therapy, but it is well-known and well-researched among optometrists world-wide. It has been used successfully in different forms for over 80 years and is taught in all optometry schools. But only a few doctors, such as Dr. Nate and Dr. Beth, were selected for additional residency training to learn vision therapy techniques and gain experience with difficult cases. Bright Eyes has had hundreds of successful Vision Therapy cases!
Optometric Vision Therapy Is:
- A progressive program of vision procedures
- Performed under doctor supervision (optometrists)
- Individualized to fit the visual needs of each patient
- Generally conducted in-office, in once or twice weekly sessions of 30 minutes to an hour
- Occasionally supplemented with procedures done at home between office visits
What is the goal of Vision Therapy?
Specializing in vision therapy, Dr. Nate and Dr. Beth customize each session for exactly what the patient needs. Since every patient is different, a "blanket policy" would not benefit the every patient. Dr. Nate and Dr. Beth take the time to plan each session so that each patient reaches his full visual potential. Depending on the case, the procedures are prescribed to:
- Help patients develop or improve fundamental visual skills and abilities
- Improve visual comfort, ease, and efficiency
- Reduce or eliminate distracting visual symptoms, such as double vision or intermittent blurriness.
- Change how a patient processes or interprets visual information
Learn about Vision therapy from The Bright Eyes Podcast
Common diagnoses that may be treated by Vision Therapy:
- Convergence Insufficiency (difficulty bringing eyes together to a near point)
- Accommodative Disorders (difficulty changing or holding focus from near to far)
- Eye Tracking Disorders (difficulty with smooth or rapid eye movements)
- Strabismus (including Intermittent Exotropia or Esotropia)
- Binocular Vision Dysfunction (difficulty coordinating the eyes together)
- Diplopia (double vision due to the eyes not working well as a team)
- Vision Information Processing Disorders
Common symptoms treatable by Vision Therapy:
- Blurry or uncomfortable near vision
- Double vision, words might run together or separate
- Head tilt while reading or watching TV
- Holding reading material close to face
- Headaches and/or eyestrain
- Skipping lines or words when reading
- Letter reversals
- Poor hand-eye coordination
A Note About What Vision Therapy Is NOT....
Unlike other forms of exercise, the goal of Optometric Vision Therapy is not to "strengthen" eye muscles. Your eye muscles are already incredibly strong. Optometric Vision Therapy should not be confused with any self-directed program of eye exercises which is or has been marketed to the public. Vision Therapy does not eliminate the need for distance glasses and is not suitable for every patient with any of the above diagnoses or symptoms.
Vision Therapy is not a "cure" dyslexia or ADHD. It can alleviate symptoms that may be similar to symptoms of dyslexia or ADHD. If a child has occasional double vision while reading, her eyes jump around the page, or he has trouble keeping his eyes "in-focus" up close, that child will exhibit symptoms such as slow reading, low attention while reading, poor reading comprehension, or even letter reversals. When the act of reading is so difficult visually, most children will get frustrated easily and avoid reading or homework at all costs. When we help them improve their visual skills – tracking, coordinating the eyes, shifting focus quickly, etc. – then we often see improvement in behavioral symptoms.
Dr. Nate and Dr. Beth use scientific evidence to guide their diagnosis and treatment plans. Optometric vision therapy is supported by ongoing evidence-based scientific research. Read the latest research published on optometric vision therapy. We can also share this research with any interested professionals.
Meet Dr. Nate Our Vision Therapy Doctor
Can Vision Therapy Be Done At Home?
Vision Therapy used to mean that you would need to come in to the practice once a week. For many patients that can be the main barrier to doing vision therapy either because of scheduling conflicts or because they live to far from a vision therapy practice. Thanks to the amazing new technology developed by Vivid using the state of the art Oculus Rift, you can do vision therapy in the comfort of your own home.
Dr. Nate says "We are proud to be the first and only practice in Florida offering the revolutionary new virtual reality vision therapy program by Vivid. This amazing tool can either be used to compliment traditional treatment or as an at-home option. We have patients from all over the country who come in for their initial consultation and continue their vision therapy treatment with virtual reality from the comfort of their home."
Amblyopia Treatment Without Patching?
Amblyopia is a condition where one eyes vision is weaker than the other eye, which over times causes the brain to ignore the inputs from the weaker eye. The way developmental optometrists used to treat this condition is with patching the weaker eye. Luckily today we have Shaw Lenses which are glasses designed to correct the combined image from both eyes.
Dr. Nate says "I am really excited about Shaw Lenses, and the patient success has been astonishing. When used as part of the Amblyopia treatment we have seen incredible results from the moment the patient begins to wear them."
Our Doctors Personal Story With Vision Therapy
You can read about Dr. Bonilla-Warford's personal experience with vision therapy in the book Dear Jillian and find lots of other information on the Bright Eyes Blog. You can also read some of the success stories from vision therapy here. And please don't hesitate to contact us with your questions.
Vision Therapy FAQ
Bright Eyes Vision Therapy Program
At Bright Eyes, our job is to make sure that vision does not limit the potential of our patients. If person's eyes don't move or change focus properly, they may experience difficulty reading, driving, or performing visual tasks at school or at work. Vision Therapy is a non-invasive, pro-active option in these cases. We offer Vision Therapy at both of our Tampa offices. Our once-a-week Vision Therapy program has proven successful in hundreds of patients, allows patients a more flexible schedule, requires home practice (like music lessons), and offers an affordable fee structure. Our therapists work one-on-one with each patient every week, and the doctors work with the therapists to plan a custom program of therapy that fits the needs and personality of each patient.
Here are some common questions:
What is Vision Therapy?Vision Therapy is a program of specific activities to help people learn to control their eyes so they can read, write, drive, and do the other things they need to do to be successful in life. The most common diagnoses proven to be treatable by Vision Therapy include amblyopia, convergence insufficiency, and accommodative insufficiency. Strabismus and Binocular Vision Dysfunction may also be treatable, but a thorough evaluation is needed to make the determination if any patient is a good candidate for vision therapy.
Unlike other forms of exercise, the goal of Optometric Vision Therapy is not to strengthen eye muscles. Your eye muscles are already incredibly strong. Optometric Vision Therapy should not be confused with any self-directed program of eye exercises which is or has been marketed to the public. Optometric vision therapy is supported by ongoing evidence-based scientific research. Read the latest research published on optometric vision therapy
Why is once-a-week therapy effective?Vision therapy is a system of helping the brain learn to move and focus the eyes in a comfortable, coordinated way. Like music lessons, sports practice, and all other forms of learning, this happens best with some hands-on sessions, trained instructors and home practice. Once-a-week therapy combines one-on-one time with a vision therapist to learn new concepts and practice time at home to master them. This independence also encourages patients to take greater ownership, empowering them to transfer the new visual skills to their everyday life.
Is Vision Therapy a new practice?No. It has been used successfully in different forms for over 80 years and is taught in all optometry schools. But only a few doctors, such as Dr. Nate and Dr. Beth, add an additional year of residency training to learn vision therapy.
How do I know if my child needs Vision Therapy?Adults often recognize symptoms listed below. But children do not usually complain of vision problems directly. So we ask and test for different symptoms, such as:• Blurry, or uncomfortable near vision• Double vision, words might run together or separate• Head tilt while reading• Holding reading material close to face• Headaches/ fatigue• Skipping lines when reading• Letter reversals• Poor coordination• Bumping into objectsYou can download a complete symptom survey here. The survey and a doctor's diagnosis is the first step, but further testing is needed to determine if Vision Therapy will help, how long a treatment program might be, and what the specific plan for the program will be.
Another doctor thinks me or my child needs Vision Therapy. What's my next step?If your primary care optometrist refers you or your child to our office, we ask that you request a copy of the exam results to be sent to our office, in addition to the referral letter. If a primary care doctor, pediatrician, psychologist or occupational therapist refers you for an evaluation, a comprehensive exam will need to be done first. Following this, we will schedule a binocular vision evaluation. (Binocular- Latin derivation meaning involving both eyes: Bin = two-fold; Oculus = eye). At this evaluation, the doctor will perform a series of tests to thoroughly evaluate how well both eyes work together. The evaluation also includes a conference with the patient and/or parents to discuss findings and treatment options. If Vision Therapy is an option, the doctors will give you details about our program.
My child just had an eye exam. Do I need to have another one? Can I just go straight into Vision Therapy?Although your primary care optometrist or ophthalmologist may have diagnosed your child with a binocular issue, our doctor is still unaware of the extent of the concern. For example, in addition to a diagnosis of Esophoria from a routine eye exam, the binocular evaluation will allow the doctor to figure-out the cause of the dysfunction: it could be involuntary or voluntary. In short, this evaluation directs the doctors' approach to the patients' situation, as well as the plan for vision therapy sessions.
How long does Vision Therapy take? How much does Vision Therapy cost?Dr. Nate and Dr. Beth plan every unit of vision therapy specifically for each patient. Since each case depends upon a patient's diagnosis and severity, the length of treatment will vary person to person. A course of in-office therapy, includes weekly one-on-one sessions with a trained vision therapist, periodic evaluations with the doctor, and all materials necessary for home therapy. Most treatment programs last between 4 and 9 months, and the fee usually ranges between $2,500 to $5,000, but there are shorter and longer cases as well. Vision Therapy is not one-size fits all! For patients that are younger or have unique circumstances, we can often accommodate them with variable length programs at a reduced cost. Should you decide to have vision therapy with our office, we will explain in detail how many units would suffice for you, or your child, as well as briefly describe a few of our available payment options.
Does insurance cover Vision Therapy?This topic is very confusing. We have found that most medical insurance plans will not cover vision therapy, excluding it as an elective procedure and often as "unproven" because their exclusion policies are not up-to-date with the research. Therefore, many plans specifically exclude Vision Therapy, just as they might exclude orthodontics. However, some plans have a specific list of diagnoses and procedures that MAY be covered. Due to this inconsistency within medical insurances, we do not bill medical insurances for Vision Therapy; our doctors are not "in-network providers". Nevertheless, patients are welcome to try and submit receipts for possible out-of-network reimbursement/coverage. We will supply all of the codes, and fill out any forms necessary to help you. More information can be found about this at COVD.org.
Is vision therapy only for children?No, vision therapy can benefit patients of any age who want to improve their visual skills. We have worked with children, parents, and grandparents. There is a video on YouTube of a 101 year old patient encouraging adults of any age to do vision therapy. All it takes is a desire to improve.
If you have more questions, please feel free to call our office! We are happy to help you understand the process, and ultimately to help you receive the treatment you or your child needs!

Make an Easy Puzzle Quilt
This easy jigsaw puzzle quilt pattern walks you through the puzzle quilt construction process step by step. Sew a colorful scrap quilt or choose a color scheme to keep your layout nice and tidy.
Jigsaw puzzle pieces emerge when adjacent parts of traditional 'H' quilt blocks are rotated. The little squares along each block's outer midpoints become the tabs that lock the puzzle blocks in place.
Quilt Layout Options
The jigsaw puzzle quilt is most effective when you make a scrap quilt because patches required for individual blocks are small, making the puzzle quilt a perfect stash-busting pattern. Repeat fabrics or devise a controlled color palette if you prefer.
- Insert a few black or white puzzle pieces to add visual depth and help those areas drop out of the design.
- Squares that end up on the outer perimeter of the quilt shown are all black to help define the pieces they touch.
Yardage for the Small Puzzle Quilt
The small quilt is made with 6" square quilt blocks and finishes at about 30" x 42".
- You'll need a strip that measures at least 2-1/2" x 22" for each H block you plan to use in the quilt. You can use a rotary cutter to cut long strips of fabric.
- Make about 170 running inches of double fold quilt binding in a width that's sewn to the quilt with a quarter inch seam allowance.
- About 1-1/4 yards of quilt backing if using standard quilting fabric.
- About 40" x 52" of quilt batting.
9" Square Quilt Blocks - Medium Quilt
Sew 35 blocks (7 rows of 5 blocks each as shown on page 1) to make a quilt that finishes at about 45" x 63".
- (2) 3-1/2" x 9-1/2" bars
- (1) 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" square
- Either (1) or (2) additional 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" squares as determined by layout; do not cut yet.
12" Square Quilt Blocks - Large Quilt
Sew 35 blocks (7 rows of 5 blocks each as shown on page 1) to make a quilt that finishes at about 60" x 84".
Continue to 2 of 4 below.
- (2) 4-1/2" x 12-1/2" bars
- (1) 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square
- Either (1) or (2) additional 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" squares as determined by layout; do not cut yet.
02 of 04
Design Your Jigsaw Puzzle Quilt
Cut Fabrics and Start Arranging the Patchwork
Continue to 3 of 4 below.
- Cut (2) 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" bars and (1) 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" square of each H block fabric from leftover scraps or the long strips referred to in yardages. You will need either (1) or (2) more 2-1/2" squares of each fabric, depending on the block's final resting place in the quilt, but do not cut them yet.
- The drawing illustrates three rows of the quilt. You'll need fabric for 35 blocks to make the entire quilt.
- Using a design wall, arrange the three patches cut for each block to form a series of H shapes. Each row is made from five H quilt blocks, and adjoining H blocks are rotated.
- Move H shapes around until you are happy with the layout, adding some black puzzle blocks if you like. Sometimes it helps to leave the room for a while and examine the layout again when you return. Are you still happy with the quilt's appearance? If not, rearrange the blocks again.
03 of 04
Fill in the Gaps of Your Jigsaw Puzzle Quilt Blocks
Once you're happy with the jigsaw puzzle quilt's layout, cut the remaining patchwork. The squares are either black (for gaps along the quilt's outer edges) or the color of the puzzle piece that inserts into the opening of an adjacent H.
Only three rows are illustrated here — make six.
Cut 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" squares to complete each puzzle block.Continue to 4 of 4 below.
04 of 04
Finish Assembling the Jigsaw Puzzle Quilt
Quilt Assembly Instructions
- Sew the three squares in each block's middle section together and press seam allowances in any direction.
- Sew each block's two 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" bars lengthwise to opposite sides of the middle section. Press seam allowances towards the long bars (upper row of the illustration shows block components).
- Keep your design intact by working on one quilt block at a time and placing it back into the layout after it is assembled. When all blocks are complete, sew blocks in each row together.
- Press new seam allowances in adjoining rows in opposite directions. Join the rows. Press.
- Mark the top for quilting if necessary. Sandwich with batting and backing. Baste the layers together and quilt. Remove excess backing and binding.
- Sew binding around the edges of the quilt.

I never dared to say a word or speak at them. I had no choice and didn't know what to do. The first
day of high school was like the first day of my life maybe my situation would have stopped, But no it
didn't it became worse and worser . I could remember the first day of school in primary I was being
bullied because I wasn't pretty or I didn't have what they had, I didn't have the top fashion. I was
begging the teachers to help me stop this issue, all I could ever hear from there was "Darling this
should stop!" or "this is ridiculous" but all they did was to show that they cared, but did nothing about
it. As years passed nothing changed, the girls and gangs didn't change at all. I didn't tell my parents
because they had enough problems to solve. But it wasn't just at school it was at home also. I didn't
have anyone….
DO I DESERVE THIS? I tried to look for websites to help my problems. I made many fake names on the
social media websites to make friend but it became worse. But then I took a big breath, listened to
songs that changed my mood. It was the end of my primary school years, in graduation I made a
friend her name was Lindsey, and she was nice and pretty. Those gangs look at me with the evil, black
shiny eyes. They called me names, spreaded rumors but no it's going to stop they are going to a
different college to me. Soon Rebecca became my best friend.
Yep I was wrong. In high school she had a massive fight with me in the first week. She spreaded
rumors about me that wasn't true. People became against me I had no choice but to tell her to stop.
When I told her she called me a chicken and slut. That day she inboxed me negative messages; she
called me an "Ugly, bitch, stupid, fat" and Most of all that I didn't expect this from her was "I wish
that you die in hell, painfully". It brought me in tears every day; this went on and didn't stop. Yes I got
used to it, I was passing everything all my subjects my...

No Regrets
It has been 77 days since I parted ways with my chiropractic practice to pursue a dream of traveling around the world.
Currently, I am sitting in a giant metal tube 40,000 feet in the air on my way to NYC. I can't believe I have been traveling for 2.5 months so far. Some days feel much longer than others, but overall the experience has flown by.
We have experienced some pretty amazing things so far and encountered some really frustrating challenges.
The highlight of the trip has definitely been rock climbing. We developed a passion for climbing that exceeded my expectations, but I am certainly leaning into the feeling and looking for ways to explore the world with a rope and a harness.
We have met extraordinary people from all over the world. We have stayed at five star hotels and no star shacks. We have had some expensive food and $1 street food. We have met some of the nicest people on the planet and encountered some of the rudest and most frustrating.
We've had things stolen and lost but more than made up for it with the generosity of people and experiences along the way.
Being away for so long and living out of a suitcase really puts things in perspective and makes me grateful for some of the simple things in life like a good home cooked steak and a decent pillow.
Man, I never appreciated a decent pillow until now.
I realize that we only get one life to live and living in fear is no way to live it. Life passes you by way too quickly.
I have been meeting many travelers along this journey that are in their early to mid 20s and just working and traveling around the world. They are living day to day and traveling until their money runs out. Then they go back to work until they have enough money to travel again.
There is such a freedom in that. To get on the road with nothing to lose and experience the rawness of what the world has to offer.
There are times when I question my decision to travel. Of course, it would have been more prudent to continue working, but being prudent isn't always memorable. Being prudent doesn't always create exceptional experiences. Being prudent doesn't always build lifelong relationships.
Sometimes it's important to throw prudence out the window, take big risks, and follow your passion.
One of my favorites quotes that exemplifies this idea is "You'll regret more the things you did not do than the ones you decided to do."
Stop always being so prudent, go against the grain, and do something you've always wanted to do.
My philosophy more and more is evolving into the idea that there are only 2 types of experiences: extraordinary ones that feel amazing and ones that are crap but make for great stories.
Go out and make both.
– Matt Westheimer

O Key of David, Come
Hebrews 10:9 . . . then Christ added, "See, I have come to do your will." Christ abolishes the first in order to establish the second.
Prayerful Reflection
O Key of David, come~
Unlock the gates of heaven,
through your saving power.
Untie the bonds of sin
which hold us back
from accepting the love and mercy
you offer.
Abolish the past that binds us
and root us firmly in your new order,
established in your saving love.
Free us to receive and accept
the boundless mercy you offer,
not through our own sacrifices,
but through your grace alone.

Neil Adler
Neil is a California Jazz musician originally from Detroit, who plays improvised music based on traditional styles. On piano and chromatic harmonica, his rhythmic roots infuse the music with the soulful sound of gospel, rhythm and blues, funk, calypso, salsa, samba and jazz.
This is what he says about his SAXONY:
"I love my SAXONY and would buy another except it seems that, for the first time one is enough - since its so reliable.
After introduced to the SAXONY Chromatic Harmonica at SPAH I purchased one which has become my favored intrument. Seydel is a small company located in Eastern Germany. Since 1847 they have make 100% German harmonicas with exceedingly precise manufactuing tolerances using stainless steel instead of brass. The result is an axe that is bright, loud and precise, is essentially maintanence free and, most importantly, allows me to effortlessly color the tones producing my individual sound.The team is dedicated to produce unique instuments of the highest quality. I can offer that it exceeds high end instruments I own costing twice as much. I was pleased to be approached by the Seydel company to endorse their Saxony Chromatic Harmonica. I am proud and honored to promote this fine instrument."

Solution Preview
Mr. Myers, here is the analysis you requested on what strategic resources will be necessary for Funder Mifflin, Inc. to obtain before we start our new social networking site. I have also done some research on Facebook and the Walt Disney Company to analyze what their key resources are.
Role of Resources and Capabilities in Strategy Formulation
It is important to understand that our strategy for Funder Mifflin Inc. is going to be based off our resources and our capabilities. There has been more of an emphasis put towards this because the company's external environments have become more and more unstable. So instead it has become more common for industries to use their internal resources and capabilities instead and the reason we would do this is because it is viewed as being more stable and secure for formulating strategies. Our resources and capabilities here at Funder Mifflin Inc. will be the primary source of profitability for us. Our external environment is always rapidly changing so if we use our internal resources and capabilities we will be able to have a more secure long term strategy. You have to ask yourself this question "What happens when our core product faces imminent obsolescence, should we still focus our strategy on our customers need or on deploying our resources and capabilities into other markets?" The answer to this is that in order for Funder Mifflin Inc. to grow and to have a successful long term strategy we need to use our internal resource and capabilities to leverage us into other markets and we will be able to do this through our social networking site.
Facebook's Key Resources
If we look at Facebook we can try to determine what their strategy was when they created it and what it is now. Almost all strategic management research suggests that companies will be able to achieve sustainable competitive advantage if they possess valuable, rare and inimitable resources and ...

Sunday was a historic day for the Mexican people, who turned out in droves to elect left-wing populist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador as Mexico's first progressive non-oligarch President in decades.
Obrador – affectionately known by his initials AMLO – served as mayor of Mexico City until 2006, when he stepped down to run for President as the Coalition for the Good of All candidate. The coalition included the old PRD (Party of the Democratic Revolution) – long the left-wing minority in Mexico – as well as the Labor Party and the Citizen's Movement.
The long-ruling PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) was finally defeated in that 2006 election. The winner was Felipe Calderon of the PAN (National Action Party). Still, the oligarchy was in charge and accusations of cheating led Obrador, who "lost" by a half percent, into the streets to protest the fraud. Millions joined the protests, culminating in a month's long occupation of Mexico City's Zocalo and Paseo de la Reforma.
AMLO ran again in 2012 finishing a close second to the PRI's Enrique Pena Nieto, before launching the National Movement for Regeneration Party in 2014. Known as MORENO or "brown-skinned", the party represents the long-oppressed campesinos, indigenous people and urban working poor who have never had much of a say in the fair-skinned affair of Mexican electoral politics.
On Sunday, Obrador ran as the candidate of a left-right populist alliance, one very similar to the Five Star Movement that recently won the Italian elections. AMLO represented Juntos Haremos Historia, which translates "Together We Will Make History". It is a coalition party of the left-wing MORENO and Labor Party, together with the right-wing Social Encounter Party.
Obrador's nationalist coalition won in a landslide with 53% of the vote. The second place PAN candidate garnered only 22%. Voter turnout was a record 64%. Indeed, it was a historic day for Mexico's long-suffering poor.
None of this would have been possible without the January 1, 1994 Zapatista uprising in Chiapas. Their 11-day military offensive was transformed into an Internet-based tirade against neoliberal capitalism and "free trade" which resonated around the world.
(What follows is excerpted from Chapter 16: The Mexican Fast Track: Big Oil & Their Bankers…)
Zapatista Horse-Slayers
By the time George W. Bush moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2001, his Harken Energy scam had been brushed under the dirty rug that passes for history. But his allegiance to the Four Horsemen and the Houston oil mafia never wavered. Bush stressed the importance of Latin America throughout his campaign and touted his Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA), an extension of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), signed with Canada and Mexico in 1990's. FTAA would create a free trade zone from the Yukon to Tierra del Fuego and would be a Big Oil bonanza. One of its biggest promoters was Bechtel.
Four Horsemen (Exxon Mobil, BP Amoco, Chevron Texaco & Royal Dutch/Shell) executives began frequenting the offices of PEMEX – the Mexican national oil company. Thomas Clines' and Ted Shackley's Houston-based API Distributors sold PEMEX oil drilling equipment and gathered intelligence for Big Oil. Deals proceeded, including one that called for PEMEX to keep the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve fully stocked. Exxon bought Mexico's Compania General de Lubricantes in 1991. [670]
Bush met with Mexican President Vicente Fox, former Coca-Cola executive who owns a vast commercial farming empire, before meeting any other foreign head of state. While Bush touted FTAA, Fox hyped his Puebla to Panama free trade scheme for Central America. Key to the latter plan was construction of a dry canal across the Tehauntepec Isthmus from the oil port of Coatzacoalas on the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific port of Salina Cruz. Financial backing for the plan was pledged by the World Bank, World Trade Organization, and US Treasury Department. [671]
The plan would set up maquiladoras in southern Mexico, just as Fox's predecessor Ernesto Zedillo had done along the US-Mexican border following the 1995 implementation of NAFTA. Increasing worker demands and labor unrest at the northern plants had multinationals looking south. Wages there averaged 40% less and neighboring Guatemala could supply even cheaper labor. By the end of 2002, ninety-two maquiladoras set up shop in southern Mexico. The new canal would be their shipping outlet.
Another part of Puebla to Panama calls for Big Oil to move into the southern Mexico states of Tabasco and Chiapas, where a unique geological formation holds promising oil reserves and vast reserves of natural gas. Funding was forthcoming for oil and gas pipelines which would service the petro-expansion. Monsanto covets the incredible biodiversity of Chiapas in their quest to monopolize the world's genetic resources. [672]
In 1994 indigenous revolutionaries calling themselves Emiliano Zapata Liberacion Nacional (EZLN) launched a brief offensive on the Chiapas capital of San Cristobal de las Casas. The Zapatistas held the town for a short while, then retreated into the Lacondon jungle where their mysterious leader Subcommandante Marcos launched a sophisticated internet campaign blasting globalization and revealing the history of genocide which Indians throughout Mexico have suffered at the hands of the Mexican government, hacienda oligarchs and multinational corporations.
The Zapatistas took their name from Emiliano Zapata, who in the early 20th century launched guerrilla attacks against Four Horsemen oil facilities in Veracruz. Zapata's small band of revolutionaries gained massive public support, leading to the nationalization of the Mexican oil industry by President Lazaro Cardenas. The Zapatistas resurrected the ghost of Emiliano Zapata and stood squarely in the path of Big Oil plans to seize Chiapas' extensive oil and gas reserves.
Chase Manhattan Bank's Mexico policy expert Riordan Roett penned a report advocating martial law in Mexico to attract foreign investors. Roett singled out both the Zapatistas and democracy as obstacles, arguing that the Mexican government must, "eliminate the opposition in Chiapas and should consider carefully whether or not to allow opposition victories (even) if won fairly at the ballot box". [673] President Ernesto Zedillo heeded the banker call and sent 70,000 Mexican Army troops (one-third of all Mexican forces) into Chiapas, establishing de facto martial law in the region.
In December 1997, fifty-six Totil Indians were gunned down by paramilitaries trained by the Mexican Army at Atial refugee camp near Ocosingo. The massacre was part of a counterinsurgency program called the Chiapas Strategy Plan, which aimed to foment trouble among indigenous peoples. The divide and conquer campaign was supervised by General Mario Ramon Castillo, magna cum laude graduate in Counterinsurgency from the US Center for Special Forces at Fort Bragg. [674]
In 2001, with atrocities in Chiapas mounting, the Zapatistas led a caravan to Mexico City that grew bigger each kilometer. They arrived 10,000 strong to cheering throngs of supporters. Marcos and other Zapatista leaders addressed an audience of over 100,000 people and lobbied (in ski masks) Mexico's Congress. They demanded implementation of the 1996 San Andres Accords, which promised to redress their grievances with the Mexican government. One section known as the Autonomy Provisions gives tribes control over natural resources in their region, directly threatening Four Horsemen control over Chiapas oil and gas reserves. Marcos insists, "There will be no plan, nor project, by anyone, that does not take us into account. No Puebla-Panama Plan, no Trans-Isthmus Project, nor anything else that means the sale or destruction of the indigenous peoples' home. I am going to repeat this so they can hear us all the way in Cancun."
Marcos was referring to a gathering of the World Economic Forum in Cancun, where Vicente Fox was glad-handing the Illuminati banking elite in hopes of obtaining funding for his grand scheme. At least one Mexican governor said Marcos' message had been heard loud and clear at the Mexican mega-resort, built for North American tourists at the expense of thousands of Yucatan peasants, who were sent packing when the gaudy Cancun resort was built.
The Governor explained, "Without being present, Marcos set the framework for the meeting…and the topics of Chiapas and the EZLN passed like ghosts through the hallways of the Westin Regency Hotel". [675]
Those same ghosts must have been haunting Mexico's narco-oligarchy on Sunday as Obrador and his populist left/right coalition swept to power.

European Capital Completes Sale Of Its Portfolio Company Metall Technologie Holding
12 Jun, 2013, 09:00 BST
ST. PETER PORT, Guernsey, June 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- European Capital Limited and its affiliates ("European Capital") announced today that they have completed the sale of portfolio company Metall Technologie Holding GmbH and its affiliates ("MTH" or the "Company") to LOI Thermprocess GmbH ("LOI"), a subsidiary of Tenova SpA ("Tenova"). European Capital acquired MTH in December 2006 in a One Stop Buyout®, providing senior term loans including a revolving credit facility, an acquisition line, a mezzanine loan, a shareholder loan and common equity. European Capital earned a 1.6x money multiple on its investment. This return includes the interest and fees earned over the life of European Capital's investment in MTH. The amount realized by European Capital was greater than the first quarter 2013 valuation of the investment by 1%.
"We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this transaction," said Tristan Parisot, Managing Director of European Capital Financial Services Limited ("ECFS"). "We actively seek attractive investment opportunities in growing mid-size businesses with enterprise values up to €500 million, which are well positioned to expand geographically.

"Following our initial investment in 2006, we have developed an outstanding partnership with management whom we've worked closely with consolidating the Company's leadership," said Etienne Haubold, Managing Director at ECFS. "We are proud to have been a part of MTH's history of excellence and successful geographic expansion, and we're excited for the Company as it moves forward under Tenova's ownership, which will further grow MTH's geographic footprint while generating benefits from Tenova's extensive experience."
MTH is a leading international provider of industrial heat treatment technology and aftermarket services for thermo-chemical and thermo-physical treatment of finished metallic and alloy-based components, primarily in the aerospace, heat treatment, automotive and machine tooling industries. These processes are applied in a broad range of industries to modify a material's physical characteristics in order to increase flexibility, wear-resistance or hardness. The Company offers a complete range of customized and advanced industrial heat treatment equipment, both vacuum and atmospheric, and provides aftermarket parts and services for an installed base of 2,500 units. MTH serves its global blue-chip customers with over 320 employees through five well established brands: Schmetz, Mahler and IVA in Germany, BMI in France and Huisen in China. MTH is headquartered in Menden, Germany.
"Throughout our seven-year investment, which illustrates European Capital's long-term commitment to portfolio companies and their management teams, the Company has achieved significant objectives, including making strategic investments in personnel, procurement and innovation, as well as successfully establishing its presence in China," stated Olivier Meline, Investment Director at ECFS. "MTH's skilled and committed teams, dedication to the highest standards of quality and strong performance in after-sales services have made it an attractive acquisition for Tenova."
For more information about European Capital's initial investment in MTH, click here: www.europeancapital.com/en/Pages/our_portfolio/companies/metall_technologie.aspx.

"European Capital's long-term, hands-on and expert support has exceeded our expectations and has been instrumental in strengthening our business in the past couple of years, building a solid platform from which MTH will continue to grow," said Stefan Blum, CEO of MTH. "We valued their contribution in defining and executing the right expansion strategy for China, as well as successfully navigating the Company through the last recession. The MTH management team and employees now look forward to the next phase of the Company's development as part of Tenova."
Since its inception, European Capital has invested €3.5 billion in over 100 companies in Europe. In France, European Capital has invested €1.1 billion in 28 different companies.

There was a punk show Tuesday night at Walter's and, for the most part, those in attendance clung to their sneers, beers and assorted semblances of toughness. It wasn't until you asked someone about the suddenly imminent closing of the venue that they got a bit verklempt. It didn't get truly emotional until each of the local bands playing the show took time to honor Walter's during their respective sets, all delivering heartfelt moments that are likely to repeat over the course of the venue's final remaining shows this week.
Those moments aside, it was a typical punk show at Walter's. People moshed, skanked and ran up bar tabs. The perpetual march — into the room for raucous bands and out to the patio for smokes and bullshit — carried on, same as it ever was. In spite of the week's bad news - that the venue's last day of operations is going to be this Sunday, February 4 - its legions simply acted upon what they've learned from more than 16 years of attending shows at its downtown and Washington Avenue locations. They just appreciated the night's music and kinship.
Zachary Palmer, owner and proprietor of the venue, delivered the news via a brief, sincere Facebook post-cum-press release on Monday evening. At last count, the post had been shared more than 1,100 times, with hundreds of the venue's followers commenting. Some thanked Palmer and Walter's extended family — including his late mother and Houston music dignitary, Pam Robinson — for giving locals a place and the nerve to begin their musical journeys. Some remembered the litany of indie, hardcore and punk acts they saw at Walter's, both during their formative years as music fans and more recently, too. Many said they were "heartbroken," "very sorry," or asked "is there anything we can do to save it?" Others needed only one word to express their dismay: "No!" A lot just said Walter's is the best venue in town or that it "will never die." One kind musician even asked Palmer if he needed help moving any items from the venue. That's love, y'all.
Of course, we spotted Palmer at Tuesday's show. He was there, as he frequently has been for shows and just as his mother typically was, ensuring that things went smoothly and audiences felt safe and happy. We asked whether he cared to expound on Monday's statement and he said he did not, which was good enough for us. He did advise he'd have more to say about it all later, but for the moment he was content to oversee the final Tuesday at Walter's as we know it.

Over the years, Walter's has attracted plenty of musicians to the ranks of its audiences, creative types on hand to support their local favorites and friends or to catch touring acts. Tuesday night, some were there for the rollicking jazz-cabaret-punk of NYC's World/Inferno Friendship Society. Others came to support the slate of Houston-based acts on the bill. And many were eager to share what Walter's has meant to them. Like Derek "Deek" Huddleston, the front man for longtime locals, the Ballistics.
"The best show that I've ever played was here with the Subhumans. It was the coolest fucking shit that I've ever gotten to do in my life," Huddleston gushed. "I opened up for the Subhumans with Ballistics and right after our set I came outside and I was getting pretty good feedback from the crowd and everything and I'm standing next to somebody, I wasn't really paying attention, and the guy comes over beside me and is like, 'Hey man, great set.' And he had the British accent and that forced me to look over and it's fucking Dick (Lucas) from Subhumans. He's like, 'You're a great singer, man, great set,' and I'm like, holy fucking shit, this guy's telling me that I'm not a piece of shit?! He's not telling me to give up on life?! I can actually keep playing punk rock and not feel bad about it? That was validation, man."
Ray Carr had a similar story from Walter's on Washington. He said he and his former group, Rats in the Attic (described by Houston Press back in 2008 as "Richmond's DRI-loving Rats in the Attic - MySpace headline: "Shit on my face!!!") actually played Walter's before he saw a set there.
"I think it was Krum Bums' CD release party for As the Tide Turns. Rats in the Attic had six songs," Carr recalled. "We played all six three times."
Carr said it was the band's second show ever. It was a wild success. The room was filled with their friends and Krum Bums gave them props for doing a good job and bringing out the locals.
"Once we got off stage it was like, 'Oh my God, we played at a place! We did a thing! It was our second show. Our first show was a house show at Punk Rock Joe's. And our second show was a CD release party for one of our idol bands," he said excitedly, as if it all just happened yesterday and not more than 10 years ago.
"Our only goal was to make sure there was a show we could do. That was it. It was just like, man, it sucks when there's not a show because that's where our family is. We don't have cars so we can't get everyone to go somewhere unless there's a show, let's make a show. Walter's was the most legitimate place to play at the time….Walter's gave us the ability to be who we were. There were some rules, obviously, but not as many as some mainstream conglomerate corporation cookie-cutter places. It just wasn't that. It was a great place for people who were newcomers to punk rock or newcomers to a movement to find something worthwhile."
Freddie Boatright's band, Slummer, opened Tuesday night's show. He was the first of many to ask that night's audience to raise a glass to the venue. After his set, he told us that he played both Walter's locales. One of his first bands, folk punkers U Not I, played the Washington site. He said someone wrote the band's name in permanent marker on a fold-out table at the venue following the set. That exact table was being used for merch sales Tuesday night at Walter's Downtown.
"My first show was at Walter's. I was 13. It was Against Me!, O Pioneers!, Saw Wheel and Smoke Or Fire. And that was the shit. It was the first time I'd ever been to an actual show venue. So you had kids chugging down 40's behind the dumpster. There's no smoking area, so you're like locked in. If you're underage, you can't go back outside, so we'd be trying to bum cigarettes from people and go deep into the pit because you could smoke inside of Walter's, too. Back then they hadn't done the smoking ordinance yet. It was small as shit and you could imagine all those people smoking. There would be like a blanket of smoke around that place."
The night goes on and this version of Walter's is engulfed in a cloud, too, made not of tobacco smoke, but fond memories. In the virtual world, Facebook followers keep adding their recollections to Palmer's original post. Back onstage, practically every Houston band on the bill takes a moment to acknowledge Walter's sound man extraordinaire, Terry Nunn. When the last Houston band of the night points him out, there's enthusiastic applause. Nunn humbly nods or waves a hand then goes back to work making a band with a washboard and a washtub bass sound like a Grammy-winning quartet before seemingly effortlessly sound checking World/Inferno Friendship Society's eight-piece act. All in a night's work.

After the music, as the audience clears out, the imminent is more evident. We see Walter's longtime talent booker and promoter John Baldwin and offer a nod. He's already cleared his Deep End Records store from Walter's lobby (and, thankfully, will set up shop at Insomnia Gallery). The space it once inhabited feels empty, something music lovers all over Houston will feel once Walter's closes for good.
We're reminded by a hopeful fan that Walter's shuttered its doors on Washington only to move downtown. Maybe Walter's is like a black cat, we surmise – a little unlucky, but maybe still possessed with more lives.
"I feel like Zack's not gonna stop," Boatright said after recalling his teen exploits at Walter's. "There are too many people that have memories like this."


text: Easter Sunday signifies the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave, three days after suffering crucifixion at the hand of the Jews. He appears over 40 days and teaches on the Kingdom before giving instruction and ascending to Heaven. Post-ascension, He appears to Saul then later speaks to Paul in prayer saying "my grace is sufficient for you". He appears to John in Revelation as John is in the Spirit and continues speaking. We serve a Living God! He's alive, he's speaking, he's revealing himself to this day. Join us as we explore.

HELL OR HIGH WATER Reviewed
Hell or High Water
Directed by David Mackenzie
Written by Taylor Sheridan
Starring: Chris Pine, Ben Foster, Jeff Bridges, Gil Birmingham
Hell or High Water makes a good case for the notion that a Western can be as relevant today as ever. Several times I had to remind myself that it was a contemporary film because west Texas looks much the same as it did in The Last Picture Show. And it nearly looks the same as fifty years earlier. Poor, dusty, desolate, and yet a good cinematographer (Giles Nuttgens ) can find beauty in it.
Toby and Tanner (Pine and Foster) have been separated for years by Tanner's jail sentence. On his release, they team up to try and save the family's farm from being siphoned off by the bank. Who likes banks nowadays so it only seems fair that they get the money by robbing branches of that bank. Inept bank robbers, they manage somehow to get close to the amount they need through some clever maneuvers on Toby's part.
What they didn't count on, however, was drawing the attention of a retiring Texas ranger played by Jeff Bridges. He and his partner (Birmingham) make outsmarting the brothers their last joint case.
This is pretty near a perfect movie. If I had to find any fault with it, it would be an explanation of what Toby was doing (other than caring for a dying mother) for the years his brother was gone. But other than that fairly insignificant question, we get a terrific script, great acting and direction, wonderful music and the beauty in a place that has none. Highly recommended.

WLX brand thermal analysis cup
The carbon cups are used matching with the carbon and sulphur analyzer to quickly analyze carbon content, silicon content and carbon equivalent in molten iron, which can save smelting time of molten iron, greatly reduce production cycle of white and grey cast iron and therefore increase production efficiency.
Principle of measurement: Collection of temperature curves is conducted by microprocessor. Contents of carbon and silicon, and quality of molten iron can be calculated by crystallization process of molten iron.
Temperature range: 1250℃~1370℃
Measuring range: carbon equivalent 2.5~5.0±0.047%
Carbon content 2.1~4.2±0.039%
Silicon content 0~20±0.1%
Graduation No. of supporting thermocouple wires: K type
Shape of carbon cup: round type
Measurement function: thermal analysis towards cast iron
Measuring time: 240 seconds at most
Indication in working process: the carbon cup is connected with three signal indicators on the panel of "Ready", "Measurement" and "Finish" through potential free reed relay.
Method of application:
1. Make the carbon cup put in the cup base with the positive and negative electrode correctly installed, when the green light on the carbon and silicon analyzer is on.
2. Make a spoon of clean molten iron in carbon cup. It is better to make sure temperature of molten iron is 50-100 ℃ higher than liquidus temperature. If temperature of molten iron is too low, liquidus temperature cannot be measured; if temperature of molten iron is too high, it is likely to fuse the thermocouple wire. It is required that injected amount of molten iron is nearly 90-100% of the carbon cup. If injected amount is too little, temperature platform will become steep and thus correct feature points cannot be recognized; if injected amount is too much, molten iron will spill out, additives in carbon cups measuring components and performance of molten iron will lose and thus the carbon cup will not work. At this time, green light on the carbon and silicon analyzer is off and yellow light is on.
3. In about 4 minutes, yellow light is off, red light is on, measurement finishes and measured data will be shown on the screen and in the meantime analytical data can be printed. After once measurement, the carbon cup used should be taken down as soon as possible, which can avoid temperature rise of the cup base influences subsequent measurement accuracy.

I have been steadily beefing up my PC builds to optimize how Haup. runs and loads. I have it pretty well dialed-in, but there is one question: where is the typical bottleneck for loading samples when I'm ready to play?
I'm chiefly interested in loading the very largest organs routinely (like the Sonus Paradisi Rotterdam organ). Is it the bus rate for loading the RAM or the data leaving the hard drive (or both) that should be eyed carefully as a bottleneck source. I can go make and have a coffee break whilst this thing pokes into readiness! I don't want to consider the S.S. HD's yet.
PC specs:
Win 7 64
Intel DQ77MK mobo
32G dual-channel DDR3 1600 RAM
Intel SRCSAS144E SATA/SAS PCI-E RAID Controller w/512M memory
Seagate ST3300656SS 15K rpm HD
ASUS Xonar Phoebus sound card (a must for the 24-bit folks)
Nitrous injectors?
For those considering the Rotterdam samples, ya need a mainframe computer (64G+ RAM) to load the whole thing!
32G just makes it run.
Thanks folks.

Getting up, dressed and out of the door was a challenge today! My bed was just too warm and cozy. When I got to work this morning, I was thinking about all of the work I needed to get done. My motivation was defintiely lacking. But then I thought it could always be worse, I could be in Sochi.
I was going to write a blog featuring how ridiculously unprepared Russia is to be hosting the Olympics, but then a few things crossed my mind:
- Russians aren't the best people to speak ill of…
- You are probably just as ready as I am to get all of the ceremonies out of the way and for the games to actually begin!
- And you are probably disgusted enough by pictures such as this:
Enjoy your peach juice, it comes directly from the tap! Oh wait, that's water…. #SochiProblems #Sochi2014 pic.twitter.com/N7yyzUAyCw
— Sochi Problems (@SochiProblems) February 4, 2014
Well it'll be an interesting 18 days ahead for us. I sincerely hope that nothing terrible happens, but I'll be on edge until this is all over.
But if you are on Twitter I would definitely go follow @SochiProblems! Hope everyone has a fantastic and safe Friday/weekend!

ESI's Building Management Consulting Services creates Facility Managed Services Solutions to Efficiently Manage your Facility.
ESI has a variety of services, processes and technologies that can help you implement a life cycle management program in your facility.
Facility Remote Monitoring Solution - Let the Pro's reduce your energy Consumption
A properly designed support program consists of many different, yet highly inter-related elements that provide life cycle management of your facility and the assets within, thereby ensuring maximum return on your investment, as well as increased operating efficiency and productivity, resulting in the lowest possible operating cost.
These elements, when combined into a program that is tailored for your business can provide you with significant and quantifiable energy and operational cost savings that also reduces the amount of risk associated with maintaining a facility.
Our experience is to take advantage of technology to fill the gap of time and expertise in order to achieve high levels of building efficiency while at the same time minimizing the cost to operate and maintain the building. Technology, when coupled with sound processes and domain expertise, drives significant results in a building's performance and a business' bottom line.
Deferring maintenance on equipment and systems actually increases life cycle costs for two reasons;
first, deferring maintenance and ignoring improperly operating equipment consumes excessive energy. Second, the equipment is now subject to premature wear and tear and eventually, failure. This leads to unexpectedly short life cycles and as a result, an investment that never delivers as expected.
Managed Services Strategies & Benefits Include:
- Improving the quality and productivity of the workforce
- Deploying the latest systems faster, with less cost and risk
- Obtaining better metrics/performance measurements
- Complying with documentation more efficiently and accurately
- Delegating energy management for savings and sustainability
- Ensuring maintenance of capital assets
- Enjoying best-in-class capital management

Nokia Asha 300 now available in the UK for £84.98
If being cheap is among the main features you look for in a phone, here's something for you. Furthermore, if you're scared of a proper smartphone, but don't want your next phone to be completely dumb, take a look at this.
The Nokia Asha 300 is now available in the UK, in SIM-free and unlocked form. This comes many months after its original announcement in October of 2011. Since then, we've seen it go on sale in India in December, which is logical since this device is geared mainly towards 'emerging markets'.

For that amount of cash you'll get a 2.4-inch 240×320 resistive touchscreen, a 1 GHz processor, a 5 MP camera, 128 MB of RAM, 140 MB of built-in storage space expandable via microSD cards, 10.2 Mbps HSDPA, 2 Mbps HSUPA, Bluetooth, and a 1,110 mAh battery. Do note the absence of Wi-Fi and GPS, if those things interest you. The Nokia Asha 300 runs S40, Nokia's 'feature phone' OS.Similar Posts:

Compile for Flash Player 10 & 10.1 Using Flash CS6
For OLA we are required to deliver all files compatible with Flash CS5. It is easy enough to save out a CS5 copy from any CS6 software (Flash Included), but the SWF that appears when you compile will most likely be published for Flash Player 11.1, 11.2, or 10.3. Unfortunately OLA needs SWFs that use Flash Player 10 & 10.1. There is an easy way to force Flash CS6 to force this functionality, and here it is…
The first thing you will need to do is download the 10.1 playerglobal.swc from Adobe's Archived Flash Player versions site.
Next, navigate to the Actionscript 3.0 folder located in the Flash CS6 Install Path (/Applications/Adobe Flash CS6/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/). In this folder there should be folders for each Flash Player version. Copy one of those folders (ex. FP10.3) and change the name to "FP10.1″. Now, place the playerglobal.swc in that new folder, replacing the older version.
Now, you just need to create a new XML file. Navigate back to the configuration folder. There should be a "Players" folder inside it. Click on it and duplicate the "FlashPlayer10_3.xml" file. Rename it ""FlashPlayer10_1.xml".
Open the XML file and change the line of code
as3="$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/FP10.3/playerglobal.swc" />
and make it match your new file path:
as3="$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/FP10.1/playerglobal10_1.swc" />
You are done! Open up Flash and click the "Target" drop down menu under "Publish Settings" in your properties panel. Flash Player 10.1 & 10.2 should now be options for you to publish in.
