Shooting with Friends.
I think almost without exception, all of the best photos I've ever taken have been taken when out with friends. I haven't made any formal study of this, but certainly all of the photos that I can best remember have been. I've only been seriously taking photos for a few years now, since about 2006 but it seems like I can remember the first photo to really strike my fancy.
This was taken on the 11th February, 2007 when Naseem, Andre and I decided we had to do something with our cameras other than take photos of things immediately around us.
We had quite a good time and got great images.
We repeated the trip just a week later, and again a few months later and this was the beginning of regular walkabouts with the primary objective being to take photographs. In the early stages it was as much about company as it was about taking photos.
The true genesis, if any, is in our days at UG. Photography was simply another way for us to connect and share time. Eventually, of course, it became more of a serious exercise for Michael and I. Andre and Naseem do take it seriously, but it is not as much a part of their daily routine.
The point of this is, generally speaking, when we go out as a group, even if that group is only 2 of us, we seem to take better pictures.
It isn't as simplistic as saying that we inspire each other, and it certainly doesn't hurt that we tend to go to more interesting places together than when we are alone. But I believe that together, the camaraderie between us makes us better at photography together, than as individuals.
Andre has now left us permanently, so for the first time in nearly 20 years there is one of us who can't be called for company when we decide to go somewhere. It may well be that he has gone to make a better life for himself and his family, but on a purely selfish level, it means that a friend who I have counted on for so many different things over the years, not least of which has been great photographs, is not going to be available anymore.
Last year I needed to get a few photos to include in a photo album I was getting for a discounted price, I called on Andre and Michael.
Andre and I (among others) went to Kaieteur overland and I got great photos.
We went to Berbice and I got great photos.
I'll still get great photos without him here, and the point of all of this isn't that I can't take great photos without my friends' company, but somehow it just seems much easier when they are around, and in my opinion, the photos are just a little greater. For this and too many other reasons to count (drinking a cold beer in Ogle, using a screwdriver as a tent peg, threatening to climb on the roof of the vehicle to get a good picture, nearly falling off the Kaieteur Falls) I'll miss the lunatic.
Tell us what do you think.
Nicely put Nik, nicely put!
An older saying goes "Food tastes better when eaten among friends", I guess the same goes for photography sometimes. I've often read that photography is a lonely artform, most photographers are loners, but some of us do better among others of a same spirit.
The Pic 'Lunatic' would have been perfect in here:)
I only just spotted this- a poignant entry, especially followed by nearly three weeks of silence. Times a'changin are hardest when you don't control the changes… But don't stop pontificating; Andre would be gutted to be the unwitting bringer of discouragement!
the black white photos in this post are awesome
the first one and the sprite on water have a great compo and contrast

Embed Flash Code in R5
Here's a trick to embed Flash applications in Domino.
This example requires R5:
1. Create and save your Flash application, which should consist of the Flash file (*.swf) and an HTML file.
2. Rename the Flash (*.swf) file to (*.jpg)
3. From the Designer, add a new image resource and select the file you just renamed.
4. Once the image has been added, use the image properties to change the name back.
5. Copy the Flash code HTML to a Domino page or form and highlight it as pass-through HTML.
6. Preview your Flash application!!
The secret is that Image Resources are just data to Domino (or a blob). You can use this technique to add attachment files, or anything else you want to serve up on your Web server.
NOTE: Rather than having to rename the Flash file, when you select "New Image Resource", you can put the actual name of the Flash file, "FlashFile.swf" in the File Name field.

You may remember the huge red oak that grew by our mailbox. I certainly do. She was big once, when our children were small, and we waited for the bus beneath her friendly limbs.
This isn't really a post about losing something. It's about loving things. I got plenty of lovin'.
I think you'll remember The Three Graces, trees that adorn a rise near my home. I photograph them in every light regime, every weather condition, and they have grown very dear to me. From left to right, they're red maple, sugar maple, and black tupelo.
To me, they are dancing ladies, each with her own rhythm and style.

Is it summer yet?? Because I could use some continual sunshine blasting onto my skin. Good ol natural vitamin D! Happy little rays bouncing off my face!
The way the sun is shining this morning and the brightness of the morning makes me feel like it should be 60 degrees and warm out already. But to my unfortunate dismay it is freaking cold out there and still slightly winter…Sigh..How many weeks left?! Well when you live in Idaho winter can last as long as it pleases, and without warning it can snow at any time too! Even in the middle of spring it isn't unlikely.
As I walked the kids to the bus stop this morning the woods called my name! The crisp air-filled my lungs speaking of trails untraveled and awaiting adventures to be had. I actually found my self singing "Oh what a beautiful morning! Oh what a beautiful day! I have a wonderful feeling, everythings going my waaayyy!" I am aware I am a dork 😉 but some days just calls for an outburst in song! At least I didn't do the "Sound of music" interlude and spin with my arms out as I crossed the lawn. 🙂
So I sit here gazing out the window looking at the clean blue sky wishing my boyfriend was off of work so we could go shooting in the woods and go for a hike down our favorite trails. I love it that he has the same drive and passion for the outdoors that I have. When we go camping we are completely in our element. Raw pure nature…simplistic quiet and perfect. It is our absolute zen place.
May Spring be quick to arrive and full of warm rains. May the flowers bloom brilliantly and the grass go lush and green. Let Summer arrive with the warmth of a freshly awakened sun, sharing its golden rays of invigorating light with us all.
A toast to summer! *clink* May your day be bright and beautiful!

The Eagles have their first preseason game on Thursday night. Yes, it is that soon. Despite free agency still ongoing for a number of players and a grand total of a week and a half in camp for most (free agent signees less), the Eagles will take on the Baltimore Ravens tomorrow night at 7:30 pm.
For many teams and players, these preseason games are meaningless. For example, I don't expect to see much from LeSean McCoy, who should really aim only to stay injury-free. And Andy Reid has already intimated that none of the starters will play deep into the game. However, there are some things I'll be looking for:
How is the defensive line embracing Jim Washburn's attack-first scheme? I'll be interested to see what kind of pressure the front four can get in the early going tomorrow. The defense probably wont be blitzing much, so the game will be an interesting first test of Washburn's system (along with free agent pickups Cullen Jenkins, Anthony Hargrove and Jason Babin). Even with a number of defensive linemen banged up, hopefully they'll be able to cause some chaos in the backfield.
Who plays center and right tackle? Rookie sixth round pick Jason Kelce has shared repetitions with injured incumbent Jamaal Jackson in practice, and seems like a leading candidate to usurp the job Jackson once took from Hank Fraley. Keep an eye on that position. Also, check out Ryan Harris, Austin Howard, King Dunlap, and anyone else who gets a shot at right tackle. With Winston Justice on the Physically Unable to Perform list, it would be nice to see that the Eagles have an adequate insurance policy to protect Mike Vick's backside.
How reliable will the new kicking specialists be? While special teams coverage units will be hard to judge, given the ephemeral nature of the roster's bottom half during free agency, the kicking game itself is basically the same from preseason through the playoffs. I'll be watching rookie punter Chas Henry and rookie kicker Alex Henery closely. David Akers, we'll miss you.
Will Casey Matthews and the rest of the unheralded young linebacker corps avoid mistakes? The best I'm realistically hoping for the linebackers is for them to be average. But even that low expectation requires that they play smarter and more experienced than they actually are. The base defenses and relatively simple offenses deployed in the game on Thursday will be a good first test.
What else are you watching for? It's exciting at the least that football is officially back...

July 18, 2017
Our parent organization, Education Northwest, recently spotlighted two areas related to one of the Northwest Comprehensive Center's highest priorities: improving the educational experience and outcomes of American Indian/Alaska Native students in the Northwest.
Offering Native Language Immersion Programs In Public Schools
In 2015, Montana passed a bill to fund the development of Native language immersion programs with the goal of "raising student achievement, strengthening families, and preserving and perpetuating Indian language and culture throughout Indian Country and Montana." Schools on the Blackfeet and Crow reservations used the funding to develop immersion programs, and the Montana Office of Public Instruction (OPI)—with technical assistance from the Northwest Comprehensive Center—supported the schools' efforts. OPI's Indian Education Director Mandy Smoker Broaddus shares some "Lessons from a Public Investment in Native Language Immersion Classrooms" on the Northwest Matters blog.
More Accurately Identifying Native Students
In a recent Northwest Matters blog post, Jason T. Younker, Ph.D., discusses some challenges colleges have faced in accurately identifying Native students, as well as the University of Oregon's journey to better serve its American Indian/Alaska Native students through an improved identification process. According to Younker, "This process has greatly improved our relationship with the tribes, while also ensuring that students get the appropriate resources and support they need."
The blog post includes a link to a new Education Northwest brief and an accompanying video that explain why accurately identifying Native students is vital for ensuring their civil rights, treaty obligations, and academic success. The resources also outline promising practices K–12 districts and schools, state education agencies, higher education institutions, and Title VI Indian Education offices can use to improve processes for identifying Native students.
Learn how the Northwest Comprehensive Center is working with state education agencies to improve outcomes for the region's Native students.

Is Dow 10,000 a signal to individual investors that the water is fine? Is Main Street about to dive into this market?
The short answer is yes. Fast Money series producer John Melloy wrote about the phenomenon in his blog "Behind The Money."
He says, as for the fundamental reason behind (the public's) gravitation to round numbers, you have to think for a moment what happens around these levels.
The big round number catches the eye of the retail investor who wakes up to it on his or her doorstep (or e-mail box) in the morning. He or she then reasons that stock investing must be back and starts to move money back into equities.
There has been $14.5 billion put into stock mutual funds so far this year, compared to a whopping $254.5 billion put into the safety of bonds, according to Morningstar. With the 'Dow 10,000" headlines and low bond yields, there's a lot of money that could rotate into stocks soon.
Stock and Bond Inflows
YTD through 9/30/09
Stock Funds - $14.5B
Bond Funds - $254.6B
Source: Morningstar
U.S. ETF Net Inflows
July '09 - $9.0B
Aug. '09 - $7.6B
Sept. '09 - $5.4B
Source: Morningstar
"It seems to me that individual investors have been scared to death of this market," muses Steve Grasso of Stuart Frankel. "Now that they've seen the market come back they may be willing to take on more risk."
The kicker is that the pros on the Street may sell into the retail flow, writes Melloy.
So we may see an initial push through Dow 10,000 and then a fade as the retail rotation dries up and hedge funds take their gains.

Ever wonder why you should hire an interior designer in the times of YouTube, Pinterest, and social media? There's so much to see out there! Because we live in an era of "information overload", the choices are limitless. The problem is though that instead of being beneficial, it becomes confusing, time-consuming and overwhelming. With that idea in mind, I thought it would be helpful to write about 5 of the main reasons I believe are the most important in hiring an interior designer.
1- Interior Designers are translators of your style
2- Interior Designers can save you time and money
3- Interior Designers can help you shape your lifestyle
4- Interior Designers can help you stay on budget
In addition, and probably this is the most exciting part, with new e-design services interior designers can provide you with the entire furniture layout, lighting plan and a shopping list and you can start buying your pieces at your own pace according to your budget.
5- Interior Designers can help you add value to your home
Designing your home "for sale" can be tricky. But with the help of an interior designer, you can add more value to your home before you agree on a price tag. Here's why... Just in the same way interior designers can add a ton of personality to your space, they can also "neutralize it" to make it less "you" and more "neutral" for attracting future buyers. Because let's be honest, realtors are just selling the house. They can give you some suggestions about how to utilize certain spaces, but most people are visual and need to see it in person to get an idea about how to make a space work for "their" everyday needs. That's exactly what interior designers do when they provide staging services. By depersonalizing your home and designing it "to sell" you will be adding a much higher value to your home, and chances are it will sell faster.
I hope you find these five reasons helpful to develop an understanding of the importance of hiring an interior designer. After all, your home is where you live the life you have always dreamed of.

I have written before about selfish philanthropy and the fact that all philanthropy and altruism are selfish… and that is ok. To do something that provides no benefit to you is not rational.
Fast Company had an article today decrying American selfishness and criticizing One Laptop Per Child for giving too large an incentive for donations.
But this is really not as big a bonus as it first appears. These are normally $200 so if you donate one and get one for yourself for $399 you are basically buying one for yourself. But you can only buy if you donate.
It is a great way to get these into the hands of developers who can write new software, and is also a great way to help out local kids who cannot afford a computer. Sure America is rich but it seems like the higher percentage of kids end up in the less affluent households. And I would like to get some of these into local "children's homes" or orphanages.
OLPC could have just sold these out-right in America. There are plenty of people who would have bought them, but this way they get a few extra donations. Also, selling them this cheep would have probably caused problems with tech companies that they are dependent on. Hmmm… that might have been a more interesting story.
The author of the Fast Company article says it is sad Americans are so greedy as to inspire such a selfish method of giving. While I agree that words like selfish and lazy aptly describe many Americans these days, I think this is a creative alternative to just selling them in the US. And that is exactly what a lot of people were asking them to do.

The early years
From its start on April 24, 1901, Cleveland's American League franchise has reached its 100th anniversary, one of just four Charter A.L. clubs (along with Chicago, Boston, and Detroit) to play continuously in one city. In fact, professional baseball in Cleveland is one of the city's oldest traditions, dating well back into the 19th century and approaching its 134th year in 2002.
From its roots to the present, Cleveland baseball has been distinguished by great ballplayers and great moments. It is through the fortunes of the men that have played for the Indians, and the memories they have created, that the history of the Cleveland Indians is learned and appreciated.
Professional baseball in Cleveland began June 2, 1869 when the Cleveland Forest Citys met the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Cleveland was represented in baseball's first p r o f e s s i o n a l league, the National Association of 1871. That club disbanded in 1872. Cleveland's return to pro baseball came in 1879 in the National League (established in 1876).
After six seasons, Cleveland dropped from the N.L. before the 1885 campaign. In November of 1886, a Cleveland team was admitted to the major league American Association, replacing Pittsburgh's team that moved to the N.L.Following two seasons in the A.A., Cleveland returned to the N.L. in 1889.
In 1890, Cleveland had two m a j o r l e a g u e t e a m s , one in the N.L. and one in the new Players' League. The P.L. folded after the 1890 season, which also marked the end of the A.A. and left the N.L. as a major league baseball monopoly.
Cy Young (Cleveland Indians)
Cleveland enjoyed ultimate success and failure in the N.L. from 1891 through 1899. Led by Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young, the Cleveland Spiders began play at a new ballpark, League Park, located at the corner of East 66th Street and Lexington Avenue, on May 1, 1891. Cleveland never led the N.L. in wins, but earned three trips to the N.L. equivalent of today's World Series (1892, 1895, and 1896). Cleveland lost a post-season championship series to Boston in 1892, defeated Baltimore to win the Temple Cup championship series in 1895, and lost a Temple Cup rematch with Baltimore the following year. The Spiders began a tradition of championship professional baseball that would be joined by the Indians in 1920 and 1948 and the Cleveland Buckeyes of the Negro Leagues in 1945.
A newsworthy addition to the 1897 Spiders was Louis Sockalexis. Considered a supreme baseball talent, Sockalexis played just 94 games for the Spiders from 1897 through 1899 and his downfall mirrored that of Cleveland's N.L. club. When club owner Frank DeHaas Robison, who also owned the N.L.'s St. Louis franchise, sent Cleveland's best players west to St. Louis, the remaining players stumbled to the worst season in pro baseball history (20-134). Cleveland was dropped from the N.L., opening the door for a new franchise in a new league.
League Park (Cleveland Indians)
By the turn of the century, Cleveland was an established major league city, perfect for the designs of Ban Johnson who moved to turn his minor league Western League into major league competition for the N.L. Aided by the finances of Clevelander Charles Somers, Johnson's Western League became the American League and, after a year of minor league play in 1900, went head-to-head with the N.L. starting in 1901. The new franchise played at Cleveland's established baseball home, League Park.
Cleveland had the honor of playing in the first A.L. game in its major league history, April 24, 1901 at Chicago. All the other games scheduled for that date were rained out.
Cleveland's biggest baseball star in the early days of its new franchise was Napoleon Lajoie. After its inaugural big league A.L. season in 1901, Somers acquired the greatest batsman in baseball from Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics. When Lajoie, who jumped from Philadelphia's N.L. team to its competitor in the A.L., became emerged in a legal tug-of-war, Mack, owner and manager of the A's, sent Lajoie to Cleveland to bolster the junior circuit. (Somers had helped Mack with finances to establish his Philadelphia club.) Cleveland also acquired another future Hall of Famer in rookie pitcher Addie Joss.
Initially known as the Blues (1901) and Broncos (1902), Cleveland's nickname became Naps, in honor of Lajoie, in 1903. With a first class ballpark, solid ownership, and future Hall of Famers in second baseman Lajoie, Joss, and outfielder Elmer Flick, Cleveland had the makings for championship contention.
Napolean Lajoie (Cleveland Indians)
Under player-manager Lajoie, Cleveland peaked in 1908 in a down-to-the-wire pennant race with Chicago and Detroit. Other key players for Cleveland included third baseman Bill Bradley, first baseman George Stovall, and shortstop Terry Turner. Despite perhaps the greatest game ever pitched, Joss' 1-0 perfect game victory against Chicago's Ed Walsh on October 2, the Naps finished second.
Managing took its toll on Lajoie. Returning to player-only status in 1909, Nap reversed a declining batting average and engaged Ty Cobb in a memorable batting race in 1910. Baseball historians still argue whether Cobb or Lajoie deserves designation as 1910 A.L. batting champ. In 1910, another legendary batter joined the Cleveland roster in Joe Jackson. Like Lajoie, Jackson was acquired from Connie Mack's Athletics. While "Shoeless Joe" would supplant Lajoie as Cleveland's all-time batting leader, he could not bring the Naps close to a championship. Tragedy struck in 1911 when Joss was stricken with spinal meningitis and died on April 11 at age 31.
Addie Joss (Cleveland Indians)
A benefit game, to raise money for Joss' survivors, was held on July 24, 1911 at League Park. A forerunner of today's All-Star Game, the benefit game featured future Hall of Famers Cobb (wearing a Cleveland uniform since he forgot his Detroit uniform), Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins, Frank "Home Run" Baker, Sam Crawford, Bobby Wallace, and Walter Johnson along with Cleveland players Lajoie and Cy Young. Young, the winningest pitcher in major league baseball history, had returned to Cleveland in 1909 to close out his illustrious career that began with the Cleveland Spiders.
Cleveland endeavored to build another contender with Lajoie, Jackson, shortstop Ray Chapman, catcher Steve O'Neill, and pitchers Cy Falkenberg and Vean Gregg. Those efforts were undercut by a challenge from the upstart Federal League. The Feds raided both A.L. and N.L. teams, with Cleveland hit particularly hard with the loss of Falkenberg. The Naps lost a then franchise record 102 games in 1914 and attendance sank to disastrous lows as the Lajoie era in Cleveland came to a close. Lajoie's departure, following the 1914 season, prompted a name change for the Cleveland franchise. On January 17, two Cleveland newspapers (The Leader and The Plain Dealer) reported that Indians had been chosen to replace Naps. The Plain Dealer said, "President Somers invited the Cleveland baseball writers to make the selection. The title of Indians was their choice, it having been one of the names applied to the old National League club of Cleveland many years ago." When Chief Sockalexis first arrived, baseball in Cleveland suffered an abrupt downturn in fortune. Now, the Indians would rise to glory with a new owner and star player.
The release of Lajoie and the trading of Jackson to Chicago for three players and much needed cash was not enough to keep the Somers' ownership afloat. Into the picture stepped Clevelander Jim Dunn. "Sunny" Jim helped finance a deal that brought the great center fielder Tris Speaker (embroiled in a contract dispute with Boston Red Sox ownership) to Cleveland. Dunn succeeded Somers as owner of the Indians. Led by Speaker and manager Lee Fohl, the Indians narrowly missed the pennant in 1918. When miscommunication resulted in a key loss in 1919, Dunn dismissed Fohl and made Speaker player-manager. Cleveland finished a close second again in 1919.

You may probably be very curious to know how one can manage to receive high yields on investments.
There is no need to invest much at first.
You may begin earning with a sum that usually is spent
for daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one company's work for several years,
and I'll be glad to share my secrets at my blog.
Please visit my pages and send me private message to get the info.
P.S. I earn 1000-2000 per daily now.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin take up real money.
It gets down to select a correct partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the income with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

Blinded Worker Awarded £220,000 Following Legal Action
06 July 2017
A worker blinded in one eye after being hit by flying concrete while carrying out maintenance for London Underground has been awarded a settlement of £220,000 following legal action.
Slater and Gordon Solicitor: Jennifer Maloney is a principal lawyer specialising in serious injury claims at Slater and Gordon in Manchester.
Settlement: £220,000.
What Happened: Our client was working as a maintenance operative on the London underground when a piece of flying concrete hit him in the eye, causing immediate trauma and bleeding. His manager at the time had removed some concrete from the track they were working on without warning, using a tool that had been left on site by another company.
Impact: Following extensive treatment and two operations, our client's eye could not be saved and he is now blind in one eye. He has been unable to return to the same line of work. He has also suffered psychiatric harm.
How Slater and Gordon Helped: The defendant company denied responsibility throughout the case. We conducted careful investigations and, after exchanging medical evidence with the defendant, achieved a money settlement, which was very favourable to our client.
Decision: £220,000.

Between Kanye's interruption of Taylor Swift's Best Female Video acceptance speech, Janet's MJ Tribute, premieres of the Fame Music Video, "Twilight"'s Extended Trailer, "This is It", Michael Jackson's unseen rehearsal footage doc, Lady Gaga's suicidal performance and the ever obnoxious Russel Brand (no one wants to get in those pants mate), MTV's 2009 VMAs was full of excitement. My favorite part bar none though was the finale duet by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys (minus Lil Mama…). Empire State of Mind is an infectious surefire hit blending rap, RnB, and classical music flawlessly. I'm not big into rap, but this song is seriously smooth.

"Let's free Willy! We can take him by the bay, and put him back in the water. "July 7, 2009
The airwaves are flooded with the live coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial service. CNN's homepage seems to be devoted solely to the events at the Staples Center and continued reports on his life and death. Amidst all of the madness, I find solace in one of my childhood favorites (just sang at the memorial by Jennifer Hudson), "Will You Be There." I might have to go back and rewatch Free Willy.

The Future of the NHS
New Book on "The Great NHS Debate"
Published by XPL publishing,
21 June 2006
Packed with incisive, groundbreaking
opinion from within the highest levels of the NHS.
Email the editor at:
"The Future of the NHS" treats the NHS like a patient and sends it to 44 leading experts, the most involved and knowledgeable people from many different walks of the NHS who are asked to contribute their personal views about how to plan for the future.
The resulting book brings together, for the first time, the prognosis for the NHS in the eyes of eminent health care professionals, managers, members of think tanks and politicians from all three main political parties.
The Editor, Dr Michelle Tempest, herself a practising psychiatrist in the NHS, said: "The profound questions facing the NHS could not be more momentous in this crucial year, celebrating 60 years since the implementation of the NHS Act 1946. So how are we preparing for the future of the NHS? This book is the first step to help understand the key pertinent questions. It is constructive, not destructive, and highlights the fact that we must all work together to plan for the future NHS."
Dr Tempest, whose brainchild the book was, added: "It is absolutely imperative for every person to be involved in the debate, not just for experts, but for everyone - doctors, nurses and patients, lawyers and clients, legislators and voters, young and old - because the debate crosses every age group and every social divide."
The book proceeds will benefit charities: MIND and The Patients Association/
It is published by, and can be bought from, xpl Publishing, and is also available through the BMA and good bookshops.
The Future of The NHS Forum
Start the debate here by adding your views on your NHS.
Once the book has been published, this website will act as a forum for the follow up debate. Various subject headings will be posted in the form of a web log (blog) and people will then be able to add their views for all to see and to respond.

Thursday Twister: Solve An Oddball Car Issue
19 comments:
- BobinottDecember 1, 2016 at 11:52 AM
Well, let's start with the basics: have you changed the blinker fluid recently?ReplyDelete
yep, but let me check the cask... it's imperial blinker ointment - should it be metric?ReplyDeleteReplies
- BobinottDecember 1, 2016 at 1:02 PM
OK so seriously, I just did some searching on the French-language forums. Any failures of the blinker units ("Centrale clignotant") seem to be "all or nothing". Therefore, I think replacing the stalk seems like a good bet. Interestingly, those cars do seem to have a propensity for blinker weirdness. One frequent problem is an interaction between the stalk and the four-way warning switch, but again the symptoms are different than what you are experiencing. Hope this helps. Any "U-Pull" yards in your neck of the planet?Delete
thx for that - my French is not up the challenge - i do really think it must be the switch, as it works normally if i pull the stalk back from fully flicked (there's not really another way to say that, is there?) - i suppose i can look into a disassembly and cleaning - might try to find a shop manualDelete
- AnonymousDecember 1, 2016 at 12:59 PM
Are you sure the bulb doesn't have 2 filliments?ReplyDelete
From my weird French tuner friends: probably the stalk switch they have issues with acting normally all the time. Something about the switch in the column that jumps off of something something and now they are drinking like fish and we are onto Turbo Renault issues....ReplyDelete
I'm not sure that was helpful but those boys talk way too fast to keep up.
Exact same issue with my e28 currently, and yep, it's the stalk.ReplyDelete
My best advice is to swap available parts and see if the problem follows those parts. Swap the bulbs left-to-right and see if the problem follows the bulbs or stays the same.ReplyDelete
I would swap the stalk switch out for a 2003 Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa in need of a clutch.ReplyDelete
Is the bulb in question a single filament or a two filament bulb ? Oh wait someone already mentioned that.ReplyDelete
Taking a piece of wire and hot wiring the relay is a good way of isolating the problem.
I have no idea what they use in a 2001 Citroën but the thing with the bimetalic spring that heats up and goes "sproingk" in the older turn signals to make them blink will wear out and act like that.
In my Porsche the contacts on the turn signal socket will get dirty ( I have no idea how, but they do) and the current draw falls below the amperage required to make the spring go sproingk and the light stays on and doesn't flash.Replies
ha! - i thought it was a joke like the blinker fluid - i ordered some bulbs, didn't notice the filaments, but did notice there are two offset pins on the sides of the base, which means the bulb can only be inserted one way, which means the contacts matter, which must mean it had two filaments, right? - i'll go try it out when the sun ekes up this afternoon (Arctic circle and all that)Delete
How did you make out kaibeezy?ReplyDelete
So your being stalked by a french ghost.....!ReplyDelete
- EloquaintDecember 2, 2016 at 4:41 PM
I don't know about le France but on my Audi you could get the multifunction switch apart, clean the green German corrosion off of the contacts, then once you found all of the springs and contacts that had flown across the room re-assemble and be on your way. Getting the steering wheel off in the dark with a flashlight in your teeth to get the switch off the column is another story.ReplyDelete
So what happened?ReplyDelete
I hope Kaibeezy didn't get done in by the self canceling mechanism on the blinker wand.
The French can get a little over zealous when it comes to self canceling. A friend was driving a Renault and the entire car self canceled after a left turn.Replies
what happened with the Xantia's blinker is it's been SO FRIGGIN COLD HERE that fuhgeddaboudit - but, really oddly, this evening, the temperature went up like 20 degrees in a couple of hours - so tomorrow is looking better - unless it rainsDelete
anyway, i think it's got to be the switch, since it gets into the groove when i jiggle it just right - which is probably the ghost of some 80s vintage French engineer's way of giving me an important life lesson - peut-être i leave it like so, oui?

The UK diplomat who negotiated the Iran nuclear deal has said a military response to North Korea is "the worst possible option", and would lead to chilling and unimaginable consequences, including the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
Sir Simon Gass, the Foreign Office political director until last year, was speaking at the launch of a paper by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a British thinktank, that said war with North Korea was now a real possibility.
He also said North Korea has obtained a nuclear capability, adding: "The toothpaste is out of the tube."
Gass said all the options in North Korea were now "extremely ugly", but that at some point there would have to be a return to talks, facilitated by China. He said that the process "cannot be helped by name-calling and exchanges of ritual insults by the main two parties to the debate".
In a further withering reference to Donald Trump, he said there was a particular difficulty with the US administration in predicting North Korea's intentions. Gass said: "I have no doubt there is a massive US intelligence community that is specialising in North Korea and knows a huge amount about the country.
"What I have seen with Iran is that you sometimes get political leaders who because they have had very little contact with a country – and sometimes none – have formed a very clear and very erroneous two-dimensional understanding of what motivates the other side. So when their very intelligence community comes to them to explain some of the complexities, they are, if they are not careful, written off as apologists."
He said it took an astute political leader to accept such advice, and not to be "over-influenced by a trope about what the other side is or thinks".
The RUSI paper said a preventive war waged by Trump would be likely to escalate very quickly. In an assessment of the crisis sparked by Pyongyang's intensified nuclear missile testing, the paper said combat would "not be surgical or short".
War could be triggered by either North Korea or the US but there was a growing risk that Trump would decide to "resolve" the issue sooner rather than later, according to the report.
Gass also said he believed North Korea would have nuclear missiles capable of hitting US cities in two to three years.
Discussing the likely casualty levels, Gass said: "If you think that in metropolitan Seoul, just a few tens of kilometres from the border, there is a population of 26 million people and a North Korea artillery capability, even if that capability is suppressed steadily, none of us need to use our imagination tremendously to realise that levels of casualties could very easily run to hundreds of thousands, and in some circumstances be rather worse than that.
"If you add to that, dislocation of global economy, consequences of nationalism in China and for the US role in the Pacific for the next 50 years – all of these are unimaginably heavy consequences of conflict with North Korea."
He also said he thought the political mood in the US "would change very rapidly if body bags came back to the US in the substantial numbers".
Urging the world to think about a return to talks brokered by China, he said: "The version of geostrategic patience that we have been looking at over a period of time is not going to work in the form that it has been followed in recent years. In my judgment it it is too late to try to stop North Korea's nuclear capability. It is there and it exists and I see very little likelihood that circumstances would arise in which North Korea would be willing to negotiate away its nuclear capability. There is a further question about ICBMs but in terms of nuclear capability, the toothpaste is out of the tube."
He advised that if the negotiations with North Korea started with the assumption of eliminating its nuclear capability, or to secure an outcome in which the US wins and North Korea loses, the talks were simply not going to prosper.
He also warned Trump against tearing up the Iran nuclear deal since it would hardly send a message to North Korea that it was worth signing nuclear disarmament treaties if they were likely to be torn up by a future president.

Box Score | Season Stats | 2017 Schedule
The Basics
Score: Oral Roberts 4 – Iowa 7
Records: ORU (7-3) – Iowa (6-3)
Location: Minneapolis, Minn. (U.S. Bank Stadium)
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Oral Roberts baseball could not answer three home runs hit by Iowa in a 7-5 loss Saturday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium.
In the first ever meeting between the two schools, the Hawkeyes quickly took control of the game as Jake Adams lifted a three-run home run into left off ORU starter Josh McMinn. The Golden Eagles chipped away getting runs in the bottom of the second and third frames only to have Iowa answer back each time.
Matt Whatley hit a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth, trying for more ORU late-game heroics, but the rally was stopped short against the opponent from the Big Ten.
Turning Point
After the Golden Eagles rallied back with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth to cut the deficit to 5-4, Iowa capitalized on a two-out walk in the eighth. The next batter belted a two-run home run into right adding insurance runs for the Hawkeyes' bullpen to hold off the late ORU rally.
Inside the Box Score
- Whatley continued to swing a hot bat for the Golden Eagles going 2-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored moving his hitting streak to eight games. The junior also launched his second home run in as many games, this time going to the opposite field for a solo home run in the eighth.
- Cummings finished the afternoon 1-for-4 with a RBI single starting a new hitting streak, but continued his streak of reaching base safely to 10 games.
- Bill Lovvorn was nearly perfect in 1.1 innings of relief work for ORU allowing just a walk to his first batter before settling in to retire the next four.
- McMinn suffered his first loss of the season scattering eight hits and five earned runs over five complete innings.
- Trevor McCutchin joined Whatley with a multi-hit effort Saturday going 2-for-3 hitting a RBI. The sophomore also swiped the first stolen base of his career.
Up Next
The Golden Eagles play the third and final game of the weekend Sunday morning taking on Hawai'i for the first time in program history. First pitch is scheduled for 11 a.m. at U.S. Bank Stadium with live stats available courtesy of Minnesota.

The holiday season can be a difficult time for those who suffer from Hoarding disorder. Television commercials, movies, and shopping advertisements build up the holiday season as a wonderful time to gather with your loved ones, sharing an abundance of food and gifts, in exquisitely decorated homes. But in reality, people suffering from Hoarding disorder often feel depressed and isolated in their environment. They would love to entertain others, but are often ashamed, and unable to bring friends and family into their severely hoarded environments. They may also be cut off from loving relationships due to the chaos that surrounds them.
Throughout the year, the hoarder may have identified and purchased items that he or she thinks would be nice presents for others, but the presents get lost in the clutter. They either can't find the items, or they know where the items are, but can't access them because of a buildup of piles. In the end, the person may go back out and spend more money to reacquire the items; this deepens the habit of buying and acquiring.
Quite often people suffering from Hoarding disorder get into trouble with credit. They are driven by their need to acquire. It is not unheard of, in Elaine's experience, to see this need to acquire be replaced with stealing, because the person has run out of funds and used up his/her credit.
When people have had a lot of chaos and unhappiness in their past experience at this time of year, the season can create an emotional letdown for them. They often try to make up for their own sadness, by creating magical moments for themselves and others through extravagant gift giving.
It is hard not to get caught up in the hype of the holiday season. But ALL of us—even if we don't suffer from Hoarding disorder—can benefit from the realization that "things" do not need to be the focus of our happiness and fulfillment.
Children in particular can be taught to fulfill their need for pleasure, their need for excitement, and their need for stimulus by building memories and sharing time together. If you can give your undivided attention to your child—listening to them, doing free activities, and teaching them to use their imagination, you are setting a good example. Sometimes we fall into the trap of buying many expensive gifts as an easy substitute for making happy, shared, lasting memories.
Elaine and I, and all the staff of Birchall Consulting Inc. wish everyone love and peace throughout the holiday season. Rather than spending time buying presents this year, we hope you spend some time remembering that you are loved and valued. Focus on yourselves as lovable and worthy, even if your histories are full of neglect and abuse.
And thank you all for your kind words and enthusiasm about our blog. We hope it has provided you with some perspective and encouragement. See you in 2016!

Kashmiri writers nix literary festival
Indian-administered Kashmir's first major literature festival has been cancelled after local writers and artists said it would give the false impression that basic freedoms are allowed in the troubled region.
The Harud literary festival was scheduled for Sept. 24-26 in Srinagar, Kashmir's largest city and the main hub of opposition to Indian rule.
Festival organizers said the event would be apolitical and showcase "India's multicultural ethos." But local writers argued that years of intimidation have made residents unable to speak their minds.
The cancellation late Monday came as the region enjoys an unexpectedly peaceful summer after three years of violent anti-Indian protests and crackdowns.
Kashmiri writers Basharat Peer and Mirza Waheed, who have written books set in post-1989 Kashmir, when an armed rebellion and military crackdown began, were the first to refuse to participate in the event.
Several other authors and academics also questioned the reasons for holding the festival in the highly militarized area.
"Beyond the absurdity of asserting that art and literature have nothing to do with politics, our issue is precisely that people are not allowed to speak their minds in Kashmir. Indeed, that a political reality is denied, even criminalized, in the state," they said in a letter posted on the Internet.
They did not call for a boycott or cancellation of the festival but said it would "dovetail with the state's concerted attempt to portray that all is normal in Kashmir."
The festival organizers, primarily Indian writers, said if the critics truly believed in free speech, "they would have allowed this forum to go ahead and would come and express their dissent at the festival."
They said the festival program included sessions about silenced voices and jail diaries.
Kashmir has a 2,500-year tradition of art and literature, much of it in the Sanskrit, Kashmiri, Persian and Urdu languages. However, there has been a spate of new writing in English as young Kashmiris have narrated their stories of living in extremely difficult situations in the last two decades.
Anti-India sentiment continues to run deep in Muslim-majority Kashmir, which is divided between India and Pakistan but claimed by both countries.
Most people in the Indian-ruled portion support independence or merger with Pakistan, but questioning India's claim to the territory is illegal.

The issue of Irish home rule was the dominant political question of British and Irish politics in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Published in 1887, this work contains articles on both sides of the issue.
"The object of the writers has been to treat the difficult questions connected with the Government of Ireland in a dispassionate spirit; and the volume is offered to the public in the hope that it may, at a time of warm controversy over passing events, help to lead thoughtful men back to the consideration of the principles which underlie those questions, and which it seeks to elucidate by calm discussion and by references to history."

So while this blog languishes, I thought I would let you know of two other ways you can read my musings more often.
First, you can find me on Facebook & Twitter. Yeah, I know—I didn't want to be a social media lemming either, but there is a lot more opportunity for interaction. Kinda reminds me of the early blogging days (c. 2005-6).
Second, I am one of the contributors at the revamped Calvinist Gadfly blog. Although the group hasn't been at it very long, it has already been both edifying and enjoyable. We hope you'll find it that way as well.

Breast cancer: Introduction
You might want to read our article Epidemiology of breast cancer in the Czech Republic, which covers the issue in more detail.
Breast cancer currently presents a serious epidemiological issue in the Czech Republic:
- Approximately 7,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in the Czech Republic each year, corresponding to more than 130 cancers per 100,000 women in the Czech population (Figure 1, incidence curve).
- Each year, there are approximately 1,900 breast cancer deaths among women in the Czech Republic, corresponding to more than 34 breast cancer deaths per 100,000 women in the Czech population (Figure 1, mortality curve).
- Breast cancer is the most common cause of death among Czech women aged between 20 to 54 (Figure 2).
Figure 1: Breast cancer incidence and mortality in the Czech Republic.
The graph shows basic epidemiological data about breast cancer in the Czech Republic in the period between 1977 and 2015.
Figure 2: Most common causes of death among Czech women aged between 20 to 54 in the year 2016.
The graph shows the proportion of individual causes of death on the overall mortality among Czech women aged 20 to 54. It is obvious that breast cancer accounts for the largest proportion of deaths in this age category, killing 1 in 11 women from all deceased women in this group.
Possibilities of breast cancer prevention on the level of individual women are rather limited. Since a risk factor explaining the development of breast cancer with a sufficient reliability has not been revealed yet (contrary to lung cancer, for example), timely diagnosis and early treatment is the only option for fighting the disease.
Possibilities of decreasing breast cancer mortality rates are demanding both from the organisational and financial point of view, but nevertheless have been repeatedly proved to be very cost-effective. Starting from September 2002, the Czech Republic joined the majority of European countries when it launched a nationwide breast cancer screening programme, enabling women aged 45-69 to undergo regular preventive examination, and paving the way for an increase in the proportion of early stages of breast cancer detected among the population of Czech women. The upper age limit was later cancelled: breast cancer screening is now free of charge (i.e. it is reimbursed from the public health insurance) for all Czech women aged 45 years and above.

The frequent flyer community has spoken forever about the terrible availability of Delta Skymiles award tickets (at the lowest redemption level). Sometimes among this group this is considerable griping when the reality isn't so bad. However, this is not one of those cases.
I just thought I'd take screenshots of award availability of two popular routes — New York to Honolulu & New York to Tokyo-Narita — on Delta and on United (and its Star Alliance partners). Delta does include some partners on their own site's search, but not in the extensive way that United does include its own partners. Plus, Delta has fuel surcharges on nearly all international partner redemptions, while United has none.
As much as people complain about Delta, I think the reality is actually even worse than that. Let's take a look.
Here is Delta's award availability in coach (though business class looked exactly the same) for New York to Honolulu:
Keep in mind that YELLOW is mid-level, not low level, availability.
Now check out United:
Yes, that's correct: there is coach and business class availability nearly every day in April.
New York to Tokyo?
And United:
Have fun in Japan.
Is this comparison 100% fair? Not 100%, no. Delta has a couple of partners that can get you to Tokyo that don't show up on Delta.com. But do most people know that? No. And does that help with the pathetic availability to Hawaii? No it doesn't. If I pulled up a bunch more cities – especially international destinations – it would show the same thing: wide availability on Star Alliance, and virtually nothing with Skyteam. Or, at best, availability to Europe with partners that charge significant fuel surcharges.
I know that for most people this isn't new news. But when you see it in those charts, it really hits home: Skymiles is, in many-to-most cases, useless.
If you're an infrequent flyer and you find yourself on Delta, do yourself a favor and credit the miles to Alaska, where you can use those miles on Delta OR American (or Alaska…or British Airways).

Samsung's Galaxy Note phablet is definitely one of the most anticipated devices of the year. Since the launch of the initial Galaxy Note phablet back in 2011, this line of devices has managed to accumulate a lot of followers all over the world. I don't know what's it like where you live, but every time I find myself in a place with a lot of people I spot a ton of Galaxy devices and there's usually one of the Note phablets there as well. We've seen many rumors when it comes to this device and here's yet another one for you. This time the alleged Note 4 posed for the camera, though its design is hidden behind a case. This actually seems to be the same device that was leaked on video the other day, you may notice both devices are wearing the same exact case. This image doesn't reveal all that much though, case covers up the majority of the device and we can't really see it.
As I've said, we've seen many leaks of this device thus far. A couple of images leaked recently and they seemed legit, though recently spotted accessories kind of brought that in question. Samsung has also released a bunch of teaser videos for their upcoming phablet which didn't exactly reveal anything at all, but hey, teasers are teasers. Samsung is hoping this device will help them raise their profits again, considering their Q2 financial results aren't exactly what they have hoped for.
Samsung will unveil Samsung Galaxy Note 4 at their pre-IFA event on September 3rd in Berlin. Their recently announced Gear S smartwatch will make an appearance there as well with probably some other Samsung gadgets as well. We still don't know what else Samsung is planning to unveil there, though I believe they will bring something new as well (next to the Note 4 of course). I'm not exactly a phablet kinda guy, so the Note 4 isn't exactly my kind of a thing. How about you, are you looking forward to this event and do you plan to get the device once it becomes available?

Received a call to my mobile on 07-12-2019 from 01244 183169 to discuss my car accident. When questioned she asked to confirm if I had been involved in a car accident in the last three years that wasn't my fault? Questioned where she obtained my details from she blatantly lied stating my local Road Safety Department. Totally untrue, I've had no accident and no full well so such local authority department would furnish my details if I had. Questioned further she had no idea who or where I was so cut her losses and ended the call "hoping I had a nice day". These firms should be banned as going through with it could raise cash for them but give you a criminal conviction for perverting the course of justice (lying etc) Be warned do it the official way if you have genuinely suffered loss or injury in an accident!

Repentance | Side quests TES V: Skyrim Guide
New main objective: Help Illia reach the top of Darklight Tower
Open the world map and head to the Darklight Tower found in the south-east part of Skyrim (screen above). If you haven't discovered it yet, it would be best to begin at the nearby town of Riften. After reaching the destination, enter the tower and find Illia inside one of the first rooms. She will tell you that the witches here and committing terrible deeds and that she doesn't want to be part of it anymore. Illia will ask you for help in killing her mother Silvia.
Note that after the conversation ends, Illia will join the party as an independent ally, so you don't have to give up on your current one. You also don't have to waste time on looking for the proper path, as Illia will automatically head towards the top of the tower. On your way you of course have to be ready for being attacked by Witches, Spiders, Skeevers and Trolls. Soon you should reach the nest of the first Hagraven (screen above), where you have to pull the left lever.
Defeating the Hagraven might prove rather difficult. Try to block its magic attacks and attack in direct combat if possible, so that it can't throw spells. Afterwards use the nearby door leading to the Darklight Chambers. The next stop on your to Silvia is the locked southern door (screen above). You can act in two ways here. The first option is picking the master-level lock. Alternatively, you can also head east and defeat the second Hagraven, this time accompanied by Hags. The Hagraven has the Darklight Tower Key.
Open the door however you like and head onwards, fighting some more enemies on your way. After reaching the highest level of the tower, listen out to Illia's plan, which assumes tricking her mother (screen above). You will need to simulate that you're the one who's going to be sacrificed, which will make it possible for Illia to execute a surprise attack.
New main objective: Defeat Illia's mother at the top of Darklight Tower
Use the door leading onto the top of the tower. Approach Silvia and sit on the proper chair after receiving the instructions (screen above). Now you just need to wait for Illia to attack her mother. Silvia will either die at once, or you will have to finish her off. Afterwards speak to Illia, who will tell you that you can keep her mother's Staff of Hag's Wrath (you need to examine Silvia's body). Additionally you will be able to ask Illia to join your party ad a full-time member. Notice - before leaving this area, I'd suggest examining the altar, checking out the treasure chest and returning to all previously ignored rooms.

In this module, we will present a number of unsupervised learning techniques for finding patterns and associations in Biomedical Big Data. These include dimension reduction techniques such as principal components analysis and non-negative matrix factorization, clustering analysis, and network analysis with graphical models.
We will also discuss large-scale inference issues, such as multiple testing, that arise when mining for associations in Biomedical Big Data. As in Module 4 on supervised learning, the main emphasis will be on the analysis of real high-dimensional data sets from various scientific fields, including genomics and biomedical imaging. The techniques discussed will be demonstrated in R.
This course assumes some previous exposure to linear regression and statistical hypothesis testing, as well as some familiarity with R or another programming language.

Several collections of Chandler's stories have been published under this title. The first, by Houghton Mifflin (1950), contains twelve stories; it was reprinted by Norton (1968) with a new introduction. The collection I read, which contains four stories, was published originally by Pocket Books (1952) and later by Ballantine (1972). The latest collection, by Vintage/Black Lizard (1989) contains eight stories and is still in print. Other sets of stories taken from the 1950 book were published by Pocket as Trouble Is My Business (1951) and Pick-Up on Noon Street (1952).
The Simple Art of Murder by Raymond Chandler. Pocket Books (1952), 194 pp.
The Pocket/Ballantine version, like the others, leads off with (and gets its title from) Chandler's 1944 essay on detective fiction. In it he lambastes the typical mystery story for inept writing and implausible plot twists. He argues that the use of a more realistic tone can lift the genre from simple entertainment to serious literature. The following four stories were first published in magazines during the 1930s. They have different protagonists, none of whom is Philip Marlowe. In "Spanish Blood" (1935) a police detective investigates a murder with political implications. In "I'll Be Waiting" (1938), the book's shortest story at twenty pages, a hotel detective tries to help a woman waiting for her gangster boyfriend. In "The King in Yellow" (1938) another hotel detective gets into trouble when he mishandles a musician. All the detectives fit the tough-guy mold. The final story "Pearls Are a Nuisance" (1939) heads in another direction. The protagonist (and first-person narrator) is a jobless rich guy who seems to be channeling William Powell's portrayal of the Thin Man. His task is to retrieve some stolen pearls, and it's his assistant who is the tough guy. Chandler fans are likely to enjoy the stories. Readers new to the author, however, might want to start with one of his novels, probably The Big Sleep or Farewell, My Lovely.
