Interview: Guitarist Jason Nott of Drive A
February 3, 2011 by Steve · Leave a Comment
Touring for nearly the past two and a half years, Drive A has done everything right in the attempt to dominate the rock scene. They may have a myspace and reverbnation, but the internet has nothing to do with Drive A's success. The constant pounding of pavement with bands like Rise Against, Bullet for My Valentine, Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals, and Billy Talent (to name a few) is the basis for the growth of the bands' ever emergent fan base around the United States and Canada. Gear Vault recently had the opportunity to interview guitarist Jason Nott of the tear-it-down rock band Drive A to gain a little more insight into what the road is like, what gear he plays, and where his inspiration comes from. Today we talk to Jason Nott from Tempe, Arizona where Drive A is the support for headliners Escape the Fate on the first leg of their tour. Read more

Guitarist of 10 Years, Brian Vodinh, Guitar Gear
August 31, 2010 by Charlie · Leave a Comment
Brian Vodinh is one of the founding members of alternative metal band, 10 Years. He started off as the drummer for the band, but later switched to guitar. Some of his band members say he is a guitarist first, a drummer second.
Brian started taking guitar lessons at the age of 11 years old. He grew up around music as his father was a first-chair violinist in a symphony orchestra and his mother was a huge Elvis Presley fan. Brian says growing up with rock 'n roll meets classical helped shaped his style.
Brian's guitar influences growing up was bands like Deftones, Metallica, and Korn. Brians says you can hear a James Hetfield-style in his guitar playing, especially in his right hand attack. What helped him develop that style was his determination to learn Metallica songs, especially Master Of Puppets at the age of 13. See pictures of Brian Vodinh's gear taken from the Carnival Of Madness Tour at the DTE Music Theatre in Clarkston Michigan.
Brian Vodinh's gear list
- Talor Standard Guitars (single cut)
- Demeter TGA-2 guitar amplifier
- Bogner Custom Shop Shiva guitar amplifier
- Roland JCM120 2×12 combo
- Bogner 4×12 speaker cabinets

Wildfires destroy hundreds of homes in the U.S. every year. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be to see a wildfire moving through your neighborhood and knowing that you have a swimming pool with 10,000 to 30,000 gallons of water sitting there with no way to use it to save your property?
Take action! Protect your home and valuables with the water stored in your backyard swimming pool. Your pool is like a fire truck always on the scene ready to protect your home from a wildfire. You will no longer be dependent on the fire department arriving in time to save your property in the event of a fire. Due to the spread of wildfires around the country, we are offering a complete portable fire pump cart and fire hose system that can be ready in a moments notice. It's gas powered and works when the power gets shut off! This exact system saved a bunch of homes in the recent Woolsey, Kincade, and Getty Fires.
Comes with everything needed for easy installation. Specially Designed to be installed on your swimming pool plumbing using your existing pump and filter. Package Includes the fire hose/reel system, 3-way valve, all fittings, glue, protective cover, and detailed instructions. The system is economical since you already have a pump that will deliver 15-20 times the volume of a garden hose. The professional fire hose and reel system is ready to use wet down your property in under 2 minutes by changing the position of the included diverter valve installed between the pool pump and filter. The adjustable nozzle is ready to use as a direct stream or a wide fan. The system is conveniently stored on the reel flush against the house until needed. It is protected from the elements with the easily removable cover.
Portable Fire Pump & Hose System for Swimming Pool
Package comes complete with the 5.5 HP gas fire pump, 100 feet of fire hose, 12 ft. of 2" Suction Hose (high quality pvc for maximum flow rate!), all couplings and fittings already assembled, deluxe wheel and handle system for easy portability and storage, 4 1-gallon containers of Barricade Fire Gel, and Barricade Eductor Nozzle that screws right onto the 1-gallon containers. Check out this product in action in the video below.Order Now
Fire Gel or Class A Foam Eductors
For extra protection, we offer a handful of special eductor nozzles that allow our fire pump systems to spray Barricade Fire Gel or Class A Foam. We recommend selecting a package that has one of these special eductor nozzles so you can coat your house with either Barricade Fire Gel or National Foam (Class A Foam). This is the most important component to ensure embers do not ignite when a wildfire rips through your home or property. Cleanup is easy. Both products are environmentally friendly - just rinse off.
Call Toll Free 888-766-5627 for a free consultation before you buy. We have product consultants ready to take your call. We will help you select the most efficient and cost effective package with the proper hose lengths and necessary accessories to suit your property.
No Problem! Check out our Pressure Washer Barricade Fire Gel Applicator Package. This Home Wildfire Defense System works off of a standard garden hose. Click here to order
Yes! This is actually the most important component of our systems. This is the secret weapon to prevent embers from igniting! According to a recent Home Builder's Guide to Construction in Wildfire Zones released by FEMA: "Polymer gels, Class A foam products, and other long-term fire retardants can be applied to structures prior to fire impingement and provide greater thermal protection than water alone."
With budgets tight, Demand grows for economical UTV wildland emergency vehicles. These systems drop right into the bed of a Utility Vehicle (UTV) or Pickup Truck. These wildland utility vehciles are popular in wildfire prone neighborhoods in Southern California and often purchased by the Home Owners Association (HOA) to be used as a community emergency response vehicle. We offer a complete 2019 Kawasaki Mule 4100 4x4 Model Utility Vehicle with a drop-in wildfire skid unit system that features a 6HP Honda Pump and 50 foot booster hose. We allow you to customize your graphics on the UTV so it's delivered to your fire department or neighborhood looking sharp. Click here to order
Introducing the World's First Enlarged Sprinkler/Soaker Hose For Exterior/Roof Fire Protection. This home wildfire pump irrigation system is designed specifically to provide protection from a wildfire to rooftops and landscape areas immediately surrounding a building. This product has been tested, approved, and recommended by CalFire and the United States Forest Service. Package comes complete with the 5.5 HP gas fire pump, 100 foot fire soaker hose, suction hose, all fittings already assembled, and deluxe wheel and handle system for easy portability and storage. Click here to order
"We were looking at one of those $5,000 fire pumps with the fancy cart and realized this portable fire pump system will do the same thing for around a thousand bucks. Great value. Works Great. We tested it on some trees in our backyard. Thank you!" FRANCISCO, YOUNTVILLE, CA
"I was able to get a discount on my homeowners insurance by mentioning that I had this." ROD, SANTA ROSA, CA"I'd recommend getting the special barricade nozzle to spray the fire gel. Worth the extra money!" WILLIAM, ALPINE, CA"This Giant Soaker Hose did a great job of protecting my new home from the fire. There was no damage to my home." ALVIN, TURTLE, WI

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. --Isaiah 1:18
The dianthus was an excellent choice for several places in the yard.
Are they fabulous! Or what?
The yarrow is faithful. And prolific.
The daisies overran the garden several years ago.
We undertook to eradicate them and almost succeeded
too well. They are making a comeback, though and
will soon present a problem again I'm sure.
The catalpa spreads its white canopy over the yard.
While the rough leaf dogwood beneath is whitening as
well. Still a green tinge, but soon to be as white as the
yarrow beneath it.
A touch of color to complement the white.

text: Spring it's officially here and my mind is already set to the positive sunny vibes. Lately I've been badly seeking for a nice vacation in a warm place - maybe Marokko? Hmm.. let's see! ;) As I'm thinking about the warm weather and sea vaves, I got inspired for todays Marina Yachting "sailor" look. Masterpiece like printed pants are always hard to style. My advice would be to focus on the pants and make the rest of outfit simple as possible and you will win! Happy Spring time peeps!

The other day the sun started shinning for what felt like the first time in SO long and we really felt like Spring was in the air and in our steps (is that corny? Sorry!). We decided to head to the other side of our city for a change and grab some brunch.
Unfortunately it was a bit of mixed day as Tom was still really ill from a recent bought of asthma and the side effects of a lot of that medication really crept up on him. Thankfully he's feeling much better now!
I can't believe my littlest one is 12 weeks old already! I have to admit I am really enjoying dressing a little girlie, especially as Wilf is now getting more of an idea of what he wants to wear. Dressing my children is one of my favourite parts of this motherhood job ;)
Oh her cheeks, I want to never forget how utterly sqishable & kissable they are, slow down time!
Motherhood second time round for me has been much less of a shock & I feel so much more at ease and chilled out. It makes me feel sad that I didn't give Wilf the same start, I was in really quite a bad way with the baby blues & I wish I'd been able to stare & his newborn face with the same instant love. I hope I've made it up to him since, my wonderful little boy, who changed my life for the better.
We've been chatting a lot about the transition to school (later this year!) and so far he's been nothing but excited to be a big school boy. I so hope it is a smooth one, although I think I will be much more effected than him, as long as I save the tears for when he can't see them!
I'm noticing more & more of Tom when I study Wilf's face but also recognising me too. I don't think I'll ever get over the fact we've created two amazing little people.
On that note I've spent the last two months trying to recap 2015..I'm still not quite there yet but if you fancy it you can see 2014 here and here.
p.s if you fancy seeing a post I did for George back in November when I was 9 months pregnant and fitting myself into a den then click here ;)

You see, SAD is my Seasonal Alcoholic Disorder: That fabulous time in the Christmas beer season when all those great Winter Warmers and Christmas beers are consumed.
Traditionally SAD usually starts with our Popcorn and Cranberry Stringing Party on December 23rd. In more recent years SAD started on my last day of work and always carries through until I have to return to work, usually after the New Year. This year SAD started last night December 18, 2009 when I got home from work. You see, I am fortunate enough to have vacation from now until January 4 when sadly SAD ends and I have to return to work. Probably with a few day's of detox.
I've been trying to be a good boy during Advent and not drinking as much beer and such. You know the little Lent that is the Advent Season. I know that I have almost a full week left of Advent but when it's your last day of work until after New Years, well, you can't help but be a little SAD.
SAD also has an added bonus, a real medicinal one, honest. You see, it's tough for those germs to get hold of you if you maintain a sufficiently high blood alcohol level.
Now a popper SAD just doesn't happen it takes considerable organization and restraint to pull off. You know, proper stocking of the beer cabinet and not starting SAD before you are ready. What? you don't have a beer cabinet? You really should look into that.
My SAD preparation started in November this year. Although the Thanksgiving Bier Dinner was going to put a dent in my beer cabinet I quickly recovered when State Line had a sale of Belgians.
Just in case you were wondering, SAD is not just consuming beer. It is quite permissible to start the SAD day off with Jack Daniels in you coffee. Then any alcoholic beverage during the day, and of course some home made Eggnog for those special Christmas parties.
Plus I always have a batch of my grandmother's medicine on hand; equal parts of Lemon Honey and Whiskey, well I'm not so equal with the whiskey. It's good for a cough and it makes a nice little tottie in the evening or anytime for that matter.
I won't bore you with descriptions of most of these beers but I do have to mention the Samichlaus Bier. This is unique Austrian Bier that is only brewed once of year of the feast day of St. Nicholas, Dec. 6. It is then aged for 10 months before bottling. It comes in a whopping 14%ABV, a SAD delight. We also have one that John Jr. has been aging, it was bottled in 2006.
I will try to review most of these beers as my SAD progresses. Plus I still have a few beers from Thanksgiving in the Beer Frig, What? You don't have a Beer Frig either? And you never know what Santa may bring.
I know we still have a week of Advent left but I hope you all have a Very Merry and Blessed Christmas and A Happy New Year. And remember a little SAD never hurts.

Only one look this week, but it looks totally amazing doesn't it? If you are feeling in the creative Illamsqua mood then here are some how to steps to create this bold look.
Begin with a pale shade in Skin Base Foundation and set over with Pressed Powder in 010. Lightly dust Powder Blusher in Nymph over your cheekbones.

Using Powder Eye Shadow's in Obsidian and Sex begin creating your smokey eye. Lastly take Lipstick in Atomic and place over the centre points of the lips, creating a cute heart shape.

Specs on the Charging Outlet
Specs on the Charging Outlet
The NEMA 14-50 is 4 pronged. It does not (should not) require any twisting. Just plug in. This page should give them everything they need:
Hi Bennett:
Please refer to:
The document has a photograph as well as a diagram.
It has 4 prongs and no twisting!
A NEMA 6-50 (3 prongs)will support 240V 40A service and was told if you are having the HPWC installed, this is the way to go.
If he is asking those questions after you gave him the NEMA 14-50 requirement, I suggest finding a new electrician :).
@mferrazano - only if you get the 6-50 adapter for the mobile connector. It isn't listed as included and you can't buy them yet, but there have been reports of people getting them if they asked. I didn't want to risk not being able to get one, so I paid the extra $50 or so it cost to run 3-conductor wire rather than 2-conductor wire.
I got the 6-50 plug since I had a HPWC on the due bill. Best to stay in contact with your delivery specialist on this issue.
I was told by Solar City yesterday that they are scheduling installations of HPWCs this week.
Bennett R. I'm with firstname.lastname@example.com. You need a different electrician! 14-50 is a NEMA Standard and should be all he needs to know.
@Jat, +1

The other day, I returned to Carrefour's Chinese salad bar for the first time after my bad experience with the "chicken essence" seasoning (鸡精) a few months back. This time, hoping for a lighter, MSG-free meal, I told the guy to hold the chicken essence and to go easy on the salt. As he seasoned my salad, his ladle obediently skipped the bowl of yellowish powder.
I came back and dug in, expecting to find it a bit bland. On the contrary: the taste of MSG was overpowering and lingered in my mouth and throat late into the night, as did my disappointment. Very sad to report I won't be going back for another few months, if again at all.

This is an exact copy of an original beaded pipe hawk found in lower Michigan many years ago. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful pipe hawks ever created and is prized by serious collectors everywhere. They are available in both steel and brass heads. This one has a brass head with a steel dovetail. It has a drilled wooden handle made of curly maple. The overall length is 24 inches. This item is NOT intended for throwing. We also have FORGED pipe hawks available upon request. Prices vary depending on the amount of beadwork requested and the design of the head. This one has beadwork on both the top and the bottom of the handle.Weight is approximately 1.2 lb.
Each of these is individually hand-beaded and is one-of-a-kind. If you wish to place an order for your own beadwork design, just give us a call or send us an email. We will be happy to work with you to design a one-of-a-kind hawk just for you!

60,000-plus expected for Real Madrid-DC United
WASHINGTON -- If attendance were the sole barometer of a game's importance, D.C. United should be ready to play their best game of the year against legendary Spanish club Real Madrid.
More than 60,000 people are expected for Sunday's friendly at FedEx Field. The game is taking place at the Washington Redskins' stadium in suburban Maryland because United's usual home, RFK Stadium, can't hold all the people who want to come.
And on Saturday, a large crowd with a sizable police presence gathered outside the hotel near the White House where the teams held their news conferences, fooling tourists into thinking that President Barack Obama was inside.
Yet United have to balance the hoopla with reality. There's a desire to put on a good showing against a team flush with international stars -- Madrid spent nearly $400 million on eight new players during the offseason -- while focusing on the bigger task that's ahead: nine games in three competitions over a 29-day stretch starting next Saturday.
"We're going to take some precaution on the game because it's a friendly game," midfielder Christian Gomez said. "But we're going to try and get results."
Real opened its two-game preseason tour of North America on Friday with a 5-1 rout of Toronto FC, scoring three goals in the first 26 minutes. As expected, the team's biggest stars -- Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Raul and Guti -- thrilled the sellout crowd in the first half before giving way to substitutes later in the game.
"We're looking forward to giving a great show to the fans," said Ronaldo, FIFA's world player of the year. "I think football is growing every day in the United States."
United, meanwhile, are struggling to find some rhythm at a vital part of the season. They have tied half of their MLS games, leading to a 6-4-10 record that's good enough to be in the playoff mix in the Eastern Conference. They also have a slate of upcoming games in the CONCACAF Champions League and will be defending their U.S. Open Cup title early next month.
"We've got a week after this to get ready for Toronto, so the timing isn't that bad," midfielder Ben Olsen said. "And we're happy to play one of the elite clubs in this world. Our energy level would be pretty high and pretty competitive."

Seven Zero Design Architects sign up for Architect in the House to help the homeless
Local architecture practice Seven Zero Design Architects has signed up to take part in Architect in the House - the joint charitable initiative by Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and Shelter.
Homeowners can receive an hour consultation with a RIBA chartered architect (such as Roger Crundwell RIBA) for a suggested donation of £45 to Shelter. Whether it's inspiration for a study, an extra bedroom, or just better living space you need, a chartered RIBA architect can offer creativity and professional advice that will help bring your ideas to life – there is no project too small that an architect can't tackle.
New research has shown that nearly two-thirds of homeowners have lived in the same home for at least ten years. With more of us staying put while our families grow, home improvements can be the best option in making sure our homes fit our changing needs.
"I urge anyone in Beckenham who is thinking of undertaking work on their home to use an architect who has signed up for Architect in the House. We can help people unleash the potential of their homes while helping those with more significant housing problems."
Homeowners can register for their consultation by visiting www.architectinthehouse.org.uk and will be matched to a local RIBA chartered architect best suited to meet their requirements.

Brabus unveils 500hp Mercedes S-Class Plug-in Hybrid
Tuning company Brabus has revealed its latest upgrades based on the Mercedes S500 Plug-in Hybrid – with combined power from the V6 petrol engine and electric motor boosted to 500hp.
The catchily-named PowerXtra B50 performance kit coaxes an extra 52hp and 52lb ft of torque from the turbocharged 3.0-litre petrol engine.
This shaves 0.3 seconds off the 0-62mph time of the standard car, reducing it to 4.9 seconds.
The tuners say this is achieved through a plug-and-play kit, which includes special mapping for injection and ignition as well as a small increase in boost pressure.
Prices for the performance kit are yet to be announced, but we expect it to cost at least £5,000.
In addition to the performance upgrades, Brabus is also offering a stainless steel sports exhaust system and a range of exterior upgrades to complete the look.
These include bumpers with integrated carbon fibre, and a choice of alloy wheels from 19 to 22 inches.
And, if your S500 Plug-in Hybrid comes with Airmatic suspension, Brabus can supply a module to decrease its ride height by around 15mm.

Stomach Cancer
Cancer of the stomach or adenocarcinoma is the fifth most common malignant tumor in the world. Although the exact causes of its occurrence are not known, the key to successful treatment is undoubtedly its discovery at an early stage.
What makes the diagnosis of gastric cancer, particularly difficult is associated, first of all, with symptoms that initially do not bother the patient too much: bloating, heaviness, digestive problems.
However, as soon as there is blood in the stool or there is an unexplained weight loss, the person is already in the late stage, where more aggressive methods of treatment are needed to cope with cancer cells.
In May this year, a group of young doctors from Mexico, Greece and Chile developed bio markers to help ease early diagnosis of stomach cancer.
It is enough to do only one analysis and wait two hours to exclude or diagnose the disease at the earliest stage. This, of course, will significantly improve the life expectancy of these patients.
This is very good news, which we want to share with you.
Gastric cancer, the need for early diagnosis
Despite the fact that stomach cancer is not so often and not as dangerous as, for example, lung cancer, it is known that every year around one million people are diagnosed in the world.
If the disease is at a late stage, they have to engage in a serious struggle for their lives.
- This type of tumor is especially common in the Pacific and although it is often associated with tobacco smoking, another factor is the Helicobacter pylori bacterium.
- This bacterium, despite the fact that it is present in the gastric mucosa in many people, can, together with other factors, cause the appearance of cancer cells.
- Therefore, Helicobacter pylori is a harbinger of the disease in cases where a person has a very specific gene, cagA (a gene associated with a cytotoxin).
Thus, it can be concluded that the probability of occurrence of this type of cancer depends on the complex combination between our lifestyle, diet, genetic predisposition and even the presence of various toxins in the environment.
This disease is very difficult to prevent. However, experts tell us that when gastric cancer is detected at the earliest stages , the survival rate is 90%.
Therefore, this news gives us all hope.
Creators of the biomarker
For this breakthrough in the treatment of cancer, it is worthwhile to thank the Chilean engineer Alejandro Tocigl, the Greek researcher Foteini Christodoulou and the electronics engineer from Mexico, Jorge Soto.
- These young scientists developed biomarkers to diagnose the disease for several hours, taking a simple blood test.
- The work was presented through the program Singularity University, an initiative sponsored by Google and NASA in order to respond to a variety of medical and social needs. of work
- The study and development of this biomarker are the result of three years of research conducted at the University of California in San Francisco (UCSF).
A drop of blood that saves lives
The need to create a new technique for detecting cancer has not been questioned.
Today, patients with symptoms associated with possible stomach cancer, are forced to wait for a long time to meet with specialists, where they will be given endoscopy and other, equally complex, invasive and expensive tests.
- By including this biomarker in our routine blood tests to identify a possible stomach tumor, we will be able to detect their presence long before we even feel any symptoms.
- After the analysis is done, the blood passes through a small device called miraculous, which is capable of detecting these molecules associated with cancer.
- The device performs diagnostics in just two hours. It is very simple, safe and effective, and we hope that in 2018 he will appear in the clinics of most countries.
- Given the good results, it is expected that in the near future will be added other markers that will help to detect other types of cancer and other diseases.
- This is a kind of cost-effective technology that will reduce costs for other tests and is undoubtedly an example of early and effective diagnosis. Although, yes, once again, it will be available to a wide range of patients only in 2018.
Nevertheless, it is always worth remembering that for early detection of cancer – or any other disease – it is worth talking to your doctor for any minor concern, for any disruption of the body that we notice.

Thank you Apple Genius Bar. iPhone lightning cable replaced and iPhone cleaned. Brilliant!
Thank you Apple Genius Bar. iPhone lightning cable replaced and iPhone cleaned. Brilliant!
My iPhone was intermittently charging.
When I jiggled the lightning cable the iPhone would charge, and then not charge.
So I went into the Apple store and stepped up to the Genius bar.
The tech who helped me was like a doctor. He diagnosed hte problem, then used some cool doctor tools to fix my problem.
Like in a clothes dryer, lint accumulated in the charging port of my iPhone 5. That disrupted the connection.
The tech used a tool that doctors use when they look inside your ear. Then used another tool to remove the lint.
My charging cable also had a kink in it, and my phone was still under warranty, so I got a replacement cable.
Thanks again Apple for a great job.

When saying or hearing HIPAA, I sometimes imagine a hippo.
The hippopotamus—"water horse" from the Greek—is the third largest land animal. It's cumbersome, thick-skinned, and appears to have been created by a committee forced into decisions before a deadline eliminated funding. The native-to-Africa beast is remarkably fast, whether running or swimming . . . so don't linger if a hippo heads in your direction!
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) could also be labeled big and cumbersome . . . but don't get in its way either!
HIPAA irks me. I rarely remember the letters creating the acronym: HIPPA, HPPA, or HIPAH? And I usually fail to correctly identify what the letters stand for. Doesn't the "I" mean Information and shouldn't the "P" be for Patient? Why, please, was the awkward "portability" ever considered as a useful word for the average consumer? Read More →by

Back in 2010 when teaching Islamic theology to a group of high school students, I wrote a poem covering the basics of theology, prophetology, and transmitted beliefs, all without jargon or theological terms. It was named Foundations of Certitude. As I taught the poem to the students I wrote out a commentary. Today I'm happy to announce that the poem is being made available at Ibriz Media. This summer should see the release of the commentary along with lesson plans for each section, in sha' Allah.
From the Blurb:
Foundations of Certitude is a concise yet thorough rhyming poem on Islamic beliefs. This work was born out of a need to give young students a short text on creed ('aqida) covering theology (what we believe regarding the Divine), prophetology (what we believe regarding the noble Prophets and Messengers), and transmitted beliefs regarding the Divine Scriptures, the Angels, the Last Day, and the Divine Decree. The chief advantage of this work is that it covers essential Islamic beliefs along with their rational proofs in clear English without complicated jargon or theological terms. It will prove useful for teachers who would like a summary of Islamic creed for their students, or any adult or teenager who wishes to learn individually the obligatory knowledge (fard 'ayn) pertaining to Islamic creed. The detailed commentary to this poem is slated for release in the summer, Allah willing.

Recently Zach wrote about Joe Biden: Why Joe Biden won't be president.
Well…if that wasn't enough to do him in, this really should put an end to the idea that he should run for president:

Two of my favorite liberal women talked with me about my earlier post: What's the Deal with Progressives and Agism?
I was so tuned into the issue of agism in progressive politics, partly because I am of the generation of Americans being dissed, that I may have overlooked another issue entirely.
But it was […]

Unreal. On Fox & Friends Thursday morning, Steve Doocy interviewed members of the U.S. Navy Band about the band's recent inclusion of women. In his reaction to the piece, Brian Kilmeade sniped, "Women are everywhere. We're letting them play golf and tennis now. It's out of control." Gretchen Carlson walked off of the set in anger. […]

Global Maritime and Other OPERA Consortium Members Win Prize for Presentations at European Wave & Tidal Energy Conference
Global Maritime Group, a provider of marine warranty, dynamic positioning and engineering services to the offshore sector and part of the European Commission's OPERA (Open Sea Operating Experience to Reduce Wave Energy) project consortium, announced that they and other consortium members have won the Yoshio Masuda prize.
Global Maritime Group, a provider of marine warranty, dynamic positioning and engineering services to the offshore sector and part of the European Commissions OPERA (Open Sea Operating Experience to Reduce Wave Energy) project consortium, announced that they and other consortium members have won the Yoshio Masuda prize.
The prize was awarded for a selection of papers on the latest OPERA project findings from Northern Spain and presented at the 12th European Wave & Tidal Conference held in Cork, Ireland.
The OPERA 12-member consortium presented multiple conference publications at the event charting the progress of the three-year OPERA project set up to progress offshore wave energy development, reduce costs (by up to 50%), and 'de-risk new technologies. This is being achieved through the development of a full-scale floating oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter 'Marmok-A-5 developed by Oceantec Energías Marinas and being demonstrated at the BIMEP test site in the north of Spain.
At the conference, Global Maritime co-authored a paper based on design and field data collection studies that incorporated the environmental conditions, device motions and mooring tensions for the BIMEP test site deployment. The paper reported on design of the mooring load monitoring system as well as preliminary analysis of several load cases identified from field data recorded during the winter (2016/2017) of its first deployment. Comparisons were made to numerical simulations of the device and mooring system subjected to representative environmental conditions.
"We are delighted to be sharing our initial findings from the ground-breaking OPERA project and also getting recognized along with our other consortium partners with such a prestigious prize named after the founder of OWCs," said Paul Goodwin of Global Maritime.
He continues: "The acquisition of long-term, open sea, device and mooring system response data, combined with comprehensive numerical modeling, is fundamental to ensuring device efficiency and survivability. We look forward to sharing more findings over the coming months."
As part of the OPERA project, Global Maritime is responsible for providing mooring support in the project. In particular, Global Maritime is supporting the testing and integrating of two cost-reducing innovations into the Marmok-A-5. These include a shared moorings system designed to reduce total amount of mooring line lengths, share anchors and reduce costs; and an elastomeric mooring tether, developed by the University of Exeter and which will reduce peak loads at mooring and hull connections. This will improve structural survivability and reduce mooring line strength requirements and costs.
As well as Global Maritime, OPERA consortium members consist of TECNALIA (Spain) who are the project leaders; Oceantec Energías Marinas (Spain); the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (Spain); Ente Vasco de la Energia-EVE (Spain); IBERDROLA Engineering & Construction (UK); DNV GL (UK); the University of Edinburgh (UK); the University of Exeter (UK); Kymaner (Portugal); Instituto Superior Técnico-IST (Portugal) and University College Cork (Ireland). The OPERA project has received funding from the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 654444.
The 12th European Wave & Tidal Conference (EWTEC) took place from August 27th to September 1st 2017 and focused on the commercialization of the marine energy sector with 70 scientific presentations over four days. Yoshio Masuda was a former Japanese naval commander, and is regarded as the father of modern wave power technology. The Oscillating Water Column is regarded as his invention.

Recently, I have been trying to convince myself to like porridge. I know, how can a Scottish person not like it?! I think working in a kitchen and making massive pots of it scarred me but times are changing! It is such a great thing to have in the morning to keep you full up until lunch time. I have been making it home with coconut milk and changing up the toppings to keep it interesting, and I think I really am starting to love it.
So, with my new found like (I wouldn't say love yet!!) for porridge, I headed to the Eteaket store in Edinburgh over the weekend for the Groats pop up. I have been following them on Instagram for soooo long and constantly drooling over their pictures, it all looks too good to eat!!
I decided to make a morning of it before meeting my dad and sister for a day at the Fringe. I met up with my friend, Irene, on Rose street and headed for breakfast. It was also my first visit to Eteaket and I have to say, it is the cutest little shop. Perfect for all you tea lovers out there!
We were given the menu, and it was such a tough decision to make, they all sounded amazing. If I could've, I would have got one of each! Irene opted for the cold bowl and I went for the Banana and Cacao Granola.
The cold bowl was a special for this pop up at Eteaket. This one was earl grey tea soaked oats, chia pudding, coconut yoghurt, raspberry compote and raw pistachios. I tried some of it and it was to die for. Such a perfect combo, I totally love earl grey paired with raspberry, such a dream!
My choice was the Banana and Cocao granola, and it was the tastiest breakfast I've ever had. It was almond milk, oats, banana, cocao & coconut granola, coconut yoghurt and date syrup. I have been loving banana with my porridge just now so this was the perfect combo. Can I have this for breakfast every day??
I have only just started to like porridge, but this is a total game changer! It was all made fresh to order and was just the right portion size to fill you up. They also couldn't have been any nicer, offering to add more toppings if we wanted and giving us the option to try out the different compotes before we picked the flavours we wanted. For a pop up event I wasn't expecting anything magical, but this was far better than what you could possibly imagine. The service was spot on and the food was perfect!
I would 100% recommend hunting down Groats around Edinburgh and trying out this super tasty porridge. There is a pop up somewhere around the city every week, so whether you live here or come up for a visit, you will be able to get it somewhere.
The pop ups get announced on Instagram so make sure you are following Groats for updates on where to find them next. You will probably see me at them all now slowly making my way through the whole menu!

Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Designing the shot, part of Time-Lapse Video: Shooting with the Camera in Motion.
So when it comes to designing your shot, you arrive at the location and you have a million thoughts going through your head. What do I want to do? What do I want to accomplish? What's the light looking like? What is my subject doing? All these things, you really have to think about hard when you're actually designing your shot. >> And it can be a bit overwhelming because with motion, nothing is really off limits. You can create a shot that starts facing one way and have the camera pan all the way in the other direction. We can set up a 360 degree time lapse if we want, and so, some of the limits that you're used to with traditional photography are removed.
And it's really about applying some self control. You have to start making decisions and being comfortable right away, right? >> Oh, absolutely. I mean, you really have to know exactly what's going to happen. >> And sometimes it's easy. Your clients are going to say to you, oh, well we want a time lapse about our building. It would be great to land on the front sign, or start here on the sign for the company logo and then pan to the top of our building with clouds going past. And that makes sense. Other times it's a blank slate and it's up to you. The thing to remember is, is you need to make a decision and stick with it because if it works, great.
If not you can try it again. Now Keith, when you immediately see a scene, and obviously there's the weather, there's the lights, what are some of the things that first cross your mind when you're designing a shot? What's the first thing you think about? >> Well, when designing a shot for motion in particular, we're always worried about the foreground subject and what is in front of our camera that we're able to show distance and perspective. Then once we actually get that down, I mean, then we're just looking at all the other things that are going to come into play with our shot. How are the clouds going to move? Where is our subject going to move? What is the light going to be? >> And so In a way, you're using motion to add emphasis to the dimensionality of the space.
You're trying to create a 3D environment, not like a 3D movie, but where you really get a sense of perspective from near to far, and you're moving past that. Now, when you're doing that, I imagine that, that can become a bit complex because you have to get the focus, the, the distance right. Are you changing f-stops over time or you just have to sort of average it out? >> Usually we always go manual, so we trying not to change any, any settings over time, just to prevent flicker and, and distortion of the image over time. >> If you're a still photographer, you're used to being able to make changes in between each shot.
But now as you design the shots, you kind of have to really lock things in. We can't change the ISO really over time. We can't adjust the f-stop. Any of those things will destroy the smoothness of the time lapse. >> Usually with time lapses the rule is stay manual if you can. The only exception to that is when you're doing what's called the holy grail, where you actually might put it on aperture priority and you're changing the you're letting the camera make the settings gradually over time. So, you're able to watch the entire sun set and still keep the exposure correct. >> Yeah, so, think of it this way.
During the course of shooting, in this course, and when you start to head out there, when you design your shots, try to think about the beginning and the end. And sometimes it means making compromises. Choose the settings on your camera that look the best for both the start and the end point. Once you've done that, there's a lot that could still happen in post production. I'm assuming Keith, that you do most of your time lapse shooting raw at this point. >> Oh, absolutely yes. >> How come? >> With raw, you have so much more flexibility when you're processing your image in the post. I mean you're shooting JPEG, your image is processed right there on camera.
When you shoot raw, you can reprocess multiple times. You can HDR if you'd like to and, and really bring out all the full potential of your images. >> So there's a lot more to this process. But we'll explain our logic with designing shots and when you think about your own shots, remember, think about the beginning and the end, and make any compromises in order to get a good exposure that looks good for both the start and end frame. Shoot raw so you've got the flexibility in post to make the tweaks. And then, with a little bit of magic, all the pieces come together.
In this course, author Rich Harrington is joined by time-lapse video expert Keith Kiska. Together, they explore the hardware, software, and creative decisions involved in creating moving time lapses, while on location in Las Vegas, Nevada. Rich and Keith detail the types of motion that you can add to a time-lapse video, from basic movement of the camera to left-to-right, sliding, and two- or three-axis movements with high-end, motorized rigs. They also demonstrate hardware add-ons in a variety of price ranges, and show the post-production techniques that yield the highest quality.
