Inspired by
Light & Time
"The primary raw materials
of a photograph are light and time!"
"Inspirational Photography" is a 6-days' all-inclusive outdoor photography workshop.
This workshop is for beginners with basic knowledge of digital photography, hobbyists and semi-pros. We believe all levels will benefit from this workshop. Expect to be challenged no matter what level you're at both by the instructor and the others in the group!
The "Inspirational Photography" workshop is organised
from Wednesday 18:00 to Monday 14:00
on the following dates in 2019
The Workshop
The "base camp" will be at LivLand Farm at Sandsletta located 10 km south of Laukvik fishing village and 26 km from Svolvær Town.
The area is on the north side of Lofoten with easy accessible seashores. This is the ideal location for Northern Light photography during the winter season and catching the midnight sun during the midsummer season. In the surrondings you'll find steep mountains, hills and wide open landscape that give you a broad varity of scenes to choose from.
Narrow roads lead you to remote spots with great scenery that inspires us to be creative. Depending on the weather conditions you may experience peacefulness and a clear sky with Northern Lights or a roaring sea and heavy winds. We can never tell before you're there.
Lofoten and Vesterålen are facing the North Atlantic, and weather and light are not predictable factors. However, we hope that nature serves you the best of variations.
Locations will therefore be selected based on weather conditions and light conditions.
Expect to be challenged!
We will be outdoors as long as the weather conditions permit. Based on the light conditions we will decide when will be the best hours for indoor activities like photo editing, discussing photography concepts and techniques, and going through the photos we shot the previous day.
We will be using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop as our main tools.

Seven Long Island companies have been awarded lower-cost power from the state's ReCharge NY program in exchange for creating or preserving 1,300 jobs and investing more than $31 million in facility and equipment enhancements.
In play: 1,574 kilowatts of discounted electricity, or enough to power about 1,500 homes.
The largest award – 390 kilowatts – went to Melville's Poly-Pak Industries, which promised to retain 225 jobs and spend $1 million on new equipment.
Entourage Commerce, which is moving from Queens to Hauppauge, committed to creating 175 new jobs, retaining 250 and spending $24 million on facilities and equipment. The company, which handles online orders for beauty products, is in line for 280 kilowatts.
"The savings are significant" and will help the company add new jobs on Long Island, Entourage CFO James Mastronardi said.
The state also granted power to Slant/Fin Corp. in Greenvale, Astro Electroplating in Bay Shore, Sunharbor Acquisition I in Roslyn Heights, Optima Foods in Deer Park and East Setauket's Alpine Overhead Doors.
Statewide, ReCharge NY approved allocations of nearly 5,400 kilowatts to 11 companies. The companies will receive the discounted power for up to seven years.
"ReCharge NY has proven to be a highly effective economic development engine" on Long Island, said Gil C. Quiniones, president and chief executive of the authority.
On Long Island, 148 companies participated in ReCharge NY as of Dec. 1, including CA Inc., Pall Corp. and Canon U.S.A., according to a report by the authority earlier this year. Statewide, the program had 741 participants.

Quality, Costs Addressed at Medicaid Commission Meeting
Improving health care quality likely is the best way to reduce Medicaid spending, Institute for Healthcare Improvement President Donald Berwick, said Tuesday during a speech to the federal Medicaid commission, CQ HealthBeat reports (Reichard, CQ HealthBeat, 7/12).
The commission, whose members HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt appointed in July 2005, was established as a result of negotiations over the fiscal year 2006 federal budget to make recommendations on short- and long-term reforms to Medicaid. The commission in September 2005 in a report to Congress made recommendations on how to reduce Medicaid spending growth by $10 billion over five years.
The commission by the end of December is scheduled to issue a second report to Congress that includes recommendations on long-term reforms to Medicaid (California Healthline, 6/16).
Berwick said that other nations provide higher quality care at lower prices than the U.S., though he added, "Dramatic improvement [in the U.S.] is possible." Berwick said improvements could be made in treating chronic illnesses, noting that about 30% of U.S. hospital admissions are avoidable.
Poor physician payment incentives and a discrepancy in care among different geographic markets also are hurting the U.S. system, Berwick said. He said the U.S. should have universal health coverage but in doing so should spend no more money than it now does on health care.
"All other industries know how to" improve quality to reduce costs, Berwick said (Reichard, CQ HealthBeat, 7/12).

I went to a local orchid sale without realizing that most of what they are selling are Cymbidiums. Didn't want to go home empty handed to I decided to get 2 although I know I don't have room for them. I just thought the blooms are so pretty and both have earned some awards of some sort. The first one won the Best Miniature Cym. at the 2006 Japan Grand Prix Orchid Festival, and yes as big as it is, it is still considered miniature. I has a total of 7 spikes and amazing fragrance.
Thanks for looking
Anyway, I know I can't keep them due to space limitation so I have to sell them, lol.

I love the second pict.. looks pretty
Oh wow - those are awesome!!
Lovely cymbidium, Marissa ,both hybrids are pretty, cant grow them in lowland. thanks for sharing.
Both are very pretty Marissa!
Marissa, I have been thinking... maybe you need to get a larger place so you have room for these beauties?
Both are very nice!

Two Italian marines serving aboard an oil tanker as part of an anti-piracy mission allegedly fired the shots that killed two Indian fishermen on a boat off India's southern Kerala state.
The Hamburg-based International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea said its president, Judge Vladimir Golitsyn, would on August 10th open a public hearing expected to last two days.
India detained the two marines days after the February 2012 shootings and a trial in its courts is pending.
Italy has argued the shooting occurred in international waters and should be dealt with under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
In its request to the Hamburg tribunal, Italy demanded that "India shall refrain from taking or enforcing any judicial or administrative measures" against the marines.
It also asked that "restrictions on the liberty, security and movement of the marines be immediately lifted".
One of the servicemen, Massimiliano Latorre, was last year allowed to temporarily return to Italy for medical treatment and is still there. The other, Salvatore Girone, has been living at Italy's embassy in New Delhi.
Italy, in its statement, said the MV Enrica Lexie "was transiting approximately 20.5 nautical miles off the coast of Kerala" en route from Sri Lanka to Djibouti at the time of the incident.
It said the radar of the Italian-flagged oil tanker then showed an unidentified craft about 2.8 nautical miles away and "heading rapidly towards the MV Enrica Lexie".
The marines "assessed that it was on collision course with the Enrica Lexie and that this modus operandi was consistent with a pirate attack", the Italian statement said.
"The craft continued to head towards the Enrica Lexie despite sustained visual and auditory warnings from the Enrica Lexie and the firing of warning shots into the water" before it eventually "turned away and headed towards the open sea", the statement said.
Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni on Monday confirmed "the government's commitment to defend the arguments of marines Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone at the international bodies we have decided to turn to".

That's rather a big bar Colin - sure you've got enough horses to pull it at full speed? Maybe every time a Double Six is thrown in the game you can break off one of the Toblerone peaks and eat it!ReplyDelete
Like the Cossacks Colin, good idea on the rebasing! As to the Toblerone, well...ReplyDeleteReplies

T O P I C R E V I E W OK Hogger Posted - 06/02/2016 : 8:48:01 PM I'm BAAAaaack!As threatened, here's an update concerning my first fledgling efforts at creating the Colorado & Pacific's first "kit-bashed" steam engine. At this point, I'm just experimenting with the basic components that I hope to make work for my first late-1870s/mid-1880s Mogul.Here's a pic of the first combination (on the right):Obviously, I'm starting with the venerable Pocher "Reno". It's sitting on a modified MDC/Roundhouse Old Timer 2-6-0 frame. The stack/cylinder center lines match up, so that works. (At this point, the stack is a Tyco "General" stack which may, or may not, be used.) The boiler will need just a bit of "massaging" (filing the inside edges) to allow it to snuggle down over the frame to sit lower. The "Reno" cab fits fine, should I decide to retain it. At this stage, there were a few more questions I must address:* Can I use the Pocher cylinder/guides assembly (with new scratchbuilt main rods/side rods)?* Can I get a Sagami 16x30 to fit inside the rear portion of the boiler? (Or do I need to go smaller?)* Should I retain the MDC/Roundhouse 72:1 step gear ratio (using an NWSL gear set), or go with the NWSL 45:1 MDC gear replacement set? Experimentations/decisions/ ahead. I hope to answer those questions "soon".Next, for gits n' shiggles, I experimented with what a 60" driver version would look like by using Mantua 60" drivers (that's what they measure using my dial calipers) installed into an MDC 63" driver Mogul frame. Here's the result:Don't like it. This is supposed to be a "freight hog" and this looks like a passenger engine.So, I then decided to piddle n' diddle some more with the 52" driver version, so I detached some more parts from the Pocher assemblies. (Wow, Pocher was way ahead of their time in devising complicated assembly procedures! Would make the "Ah so. We Chinee!" mfg folk proud!)I massaged the boiler so it would snuggle down more on the frame and added a leading truck using a modified MDC lead truck assembly with a NWSL 26" flush end wheelset. I also modified the Pocher cylinder/pilot assembly and it fits fine. However, I think I would prefer the longer pilot version that came with the Pocher "Genoa" instead of the short version on the "Reno".Anyway, here's what this combination looks like:Ah... NOW we're getting somewhere! I like the overall lines and "stance".What I don't like is the "bulk" that the MDC cover plate creates because it extends up PAST the front driver. To me this makes the frame look too "thick" between the front driver and cylinders. (Compare that area on the Jupiter in the pic above.)So, I think I will be cutting off the MDC cover plate back toward the center axle. This ought to result in a "deep firebox" look which is definitely desired, but create more "space" under the frame for the front driver. (I will use a thin piece of brass screwed to the frame w/small a pair of bolts/screws to hold the front driver set in place.)I then got the happy idea to try an MDC "Old Timer" cab on it to see how that looked. Here's a pic of that experiment:Nope. Ain't happening. Looks like it's been "modernized" in the mid-late 1880s and I don't want to go there. I want it to look more "original". So, that attempt was a dud.Now, from here I learned that a 16x30 Sagami round can will NOT fit the Pocher/MDC combination. It will fit the MDC frame (have done so in the past) but will NOT fit the Pocher boiler, even after using the dremel to remove the ridge inside the Pocher boiler that's up at the top. (Hits the boiler taper before the can motor is far enough forward for the MDC frame.)So, this means I need to find an alternative motor. Thus far, it looks like the NWSL 12mm x 25mm is the most likely option at this point. That combination will require an adapter bushing for the shaft to retain use of the NWSL MDC regear sets available.Which brings up this question:Have any of you any experience re-gearing an MDC Old Timer from the stock 72:1 step gear to a NWSL 45:1 step gear? If so, what were the performance changes?Okay... I think that's it on the updates for now.Any input most welcomed!Andre 15 L A T E S T R E P L I E S (Newest First) railman28 Posted - 12/02/2019 : 5:09:28 PM Let the Good Times roll. Did you get see Big Boy roll by? The NCE system should be a good bet. I've not heard of a unhappy owner. Bob OK Hogger Posted - 12/01/2019 : 5:45:15 PM Hi Bob!Thanks for asking!Well, I'm hip deep into my "riding season" and I have been doing a lot of dual sport riding in the mountains of OK and AR. Wife has also been riding some with me (she rides the XT225 I purchased the past April.) That so, my model trains haven't been the top priority.However, what HAS been priority has been the saving of my hobby allowance in order to make a large (to me) investment in NCE DCC components.Among all the other things vying for my hobby funds, I finally saved back enough that I was ready to go forward and order the stuff. I have ordered:1 completely new NCE DCC R/C Starter System that includes an R/C cab (hand held unit).1 5 Amp power unit to power same.1 Fast acting circuit breaker for the system.2 Additional R/C cabs (hand held units).Total has come to nearly $1100, a fair chunk of change. However, this will allow me to replace my 12+ year old NCE DCC R/C unit currently being used on my Ozark layout that's in the out building as well as give me the ability for 3 operators. The older system will be brought in here to the house to become the power/control for my future KC Lines shelf switching layout here in this computer room. Waste not, want not.I did host a regional get-together a couple weeks ago. There were 6 of us, total. I handed the throttle to one of them and a switch list to the other, and they ran a train and worked the Gravel Turn. They enjoyed it a bunch, but the grade bit them on the hiney. They tried to switch the rock plant and bit off more than the single unit could handle, so they had to regroup and come up with another plan. Welcome to mountain railroading!Anyway, once the new system arrives and I have it installed and proofed, I will be inviting those two back down for a shake down run with three operators. I figure they'll each run a train on the layout, and I'll take the third throttle and work the stages/through trains.Probably gonna' be one of those "cluster****" deals... but it ought to be fun and we've gotta's start somewhere in learning how to operate this new layout! All fer now!Andre railman28 Posted - 12/01/2019 : 2:02:32 PM What's you doing? OK Hogger Posted - 09/28/2019 : 09:55:35 AM Hi Mike!Yes it is! Such a find often fires up the imagination.I suspect the older/lighter engine was being used for construction purposes. I have read in historical accounts that once the line was open south of the tunnel to Van Buren (river port town), then the larger engines w/helpers were used to move through-tonnage over the switchbacks while the tunnel continued to be bored.Andre Michael Hohn Posted - 09/28/2019 : 08:36:21 AM Andre,It�s always exciting when a new old photo turns up. I expect the locomotive we see pulled only a few cars at a time up a 4% grade. Mike OK Hogger Posted - 09/28/2019 : 12:55:21 AM A Frisco historian friend of mine just uploaded this heretofore unseen (by me, at least) picture of the construction of the tunnel at Winslow, AR on the Frisco railroad. This picture would have to date back to 1881-1882. (The tunnel was completed and opened for service in 1882.) See that train? That's on the temporary switchback (with 4+% grades) that was used during the construction of the tunnel! This is a RARE picture, guys!All fer now!Andre OK Hogger Posted - 09/26/2019 : 11:53:07 PM Thanks you two for the input!Mike:Don't think you will ever see me posting a pic of an SD70MAC!Bob:Yes, it's our favorite place to go for steam. It will be so cool to have the T-12 running! We first visited the C&T back in '92. We soon rode the length of it. We've ridden it several times. Our favorite thing to do is simply savor the atmosphere of the region and operation. A typical day for us is to eat a good breakfast somewhere, then strike off for the yard for the departure of the eastbound. Once it leaves out, we love to pace it climbing to Cumbres. Once it's left Cumbres headed for Ozier, we then head back to Chama and eat lunch, then mosey back up the pass and over toward Los Pinos to pick up the westbound train. We even enjoy waiting up there! After the trains are finished for the day, we will often hike along the right of way around Cumbres and explore. We also like to stroll about the yard after everything is tucked away for the evening. We typically go up to Chama every year or so. Love it!All fer now.Andre railman28 Posted - 09/26/2019 : 10:44:43 PM Andre, It's a beautiful Railroad. A Great Ride. Back in the 70's I chased A Freight special from Chama to Cumbres Pass but Last fall was the first time I rode her and rode the whole length. Another freight special. What a spectacular Gem she is. Now that they will have restored passenger cars and a ten wheeler running around I think I will visit more often. Michael Hohn Posted - 09/26/2019 : 8:18:07 PM Andre, those are beautiful photos. Thank you for posting. As for not being EarlyRail, it�s your own thread and you can post anything you want if it inspires your modeling, even a photo of an SD70MAC. Mike OK Hogger Posted - 09/26/2019 : 7:33:20 PM Hi All!Wife and I have just returned from a short stay at the Cumbres & Toltec town of Chama, NM. We both just love the atmosphere that can be had at the C&T. Amazingly, in addition to her love of the Rocky Mountains, my wife loves the steam engines and the steam experience! While enjoying the action, I did snap a few photos, however, I don't go to the C&T to futilely try to take the "perfect" picture (long ago gave up), and now I mainly just soak up the atmosphere and watch (and listen) to the action. IF a photo presents itself and I can do so without missing action, I'll snap a quickie. Here's some of the quickies from our trip.Not exactly "Early Rail"... but the sounds and smells of steam are trans-era!Andre Michael Hohn Posted - 09/06/2019 : 6:10:56 PM A little care on the fiscal side also helps prevent expensive mistakes, extravagances and unthought out purchases. Mike railman28 Posted - 09/05/2019 : 1:51:47 PM Understand the need for mature fiscal management. I played with track plans and CAD drawing in such times. But, basic scenery (paper towel, plaster of Paris over a lactic of cardboard strips) was cheap too. A lot cheaper than foam That's for sure and with a cheap drop cloth, a lot easier to clean up.Bob OK Hogger Posted - 09/05/2019 : 09:15:01 AM Hi Bob!Thanks for asking.I'm saving up my hobby funds for my next major purchase: A second complete NCE R/C DCC system. Amid that, I've also got to spend some of my hobby funds for some motorcycle upkeep things (about $200-$300 worth) in advance of riding season that's only a few weeks away.SO... I'm avoiding my model railroad train hobby for now so as not to be tempted to spend on items that will prolong the saving mode.Typically, I use my V scale interest to piddle with as I await for such funds/etc. That said, I'm in the process of putting in the last few miles of track to replicate the St. Louis & North Arkansas railroad as it was from about 1903 to mid-1906. (The StL&MA morphed into the Missouri & North Arkansas when it started their final expansions in 1906.) SO, as per the prototype, "my" virtual St.L&NA/M&NA runs from Seligman, MO, to Leslie, AR, some 121 miles or so.

From acclaimed author Dr. Jason Fung, a revolutionary guide to reversing diabetes.

聽

Dr. Jason Fung forever changed the way we think about obesity with his best-selling book, The Obesity Code. Now he has set out to do the same for type 2 diabetes.

Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease鈥攁 life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible. Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease. The only way to treat type 2 diabetes effectively, he argues, is proper dieting and intermittent fasting鈥攏ot medication.

In this revelatory memoir, Doctor Cynthia Li shares the truth about her disabling autoimmune illness, the limitations of Western medicine, and her hard-won lessons on healing鈥攎ind, body, and spirit.聽

Li had it all: a successful career in medicine, a loving marriage, children on the horizon. But it all came crashing聽down when, after聽developing an autoimmune thyroid condition, mysterious symptoms began consuming her body. Test after test came聽back "within normal limits," baffling her doctors鈥攁nd baffling herself. Housebound with two young聽children, Li began a solo odyssey from her living room聽couch to find a way to heal.

Brave New Medicine聽details the physical and聽existential聽crisis that forces a young doctor to question her own medical training. She dives into聽the root causes of her illness, learning to unlock her body's innate intelligence and wholeness. Li relates her story with the insight of a scientist, and the humility and candor of a patient,聽exploring the聽emotional and spiritual shifts聽beyond the physical body.

Millions of聽people worldwide are affected by autoimmune disease. While complex conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are gaining attention, patients聽struggling聽with these mysterious ailments remain largely dismissed by their doctors, families, and聽friends. This is the harsh reality that doctor-turned-"difficult patient" Li faced firsthand.

Drawing on cutting-edge science, ancient healing arts, and the power of intuition, this memoir offers support, validation, and a new perspective for doctors and patients alike. Through her story, you can find the wisdom and heart to start your own聽healing journey, too.

Customer Reviews
New York Times best-selling author presents a radical alternative to psychotropic meds: discerning the meaning in your symptoms and your struggle as a way to reclaim your health and your self.

For years, we've been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings-sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry-are somehow "not okay." And, all too often, we've relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them down. The fact is, though, that these feelings are a vital part of our experience. They are real. And those of us who feel them most strongly are the canaries in the coalmine-sensitive to things that are seriously wrong in the world today.
In a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan, M.D., author of A Mind of Your Own, shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental, emotional, and physical pain away-that the best way out is through. She explodes the mistaken belief that our symptoms-from mood changes to irritability to fogginess and fatigue-are evidence that we are sick or broken. Then she charts a new path to get real, get well, and get free. The journey includes:
聽聽鈥⒙犅燙oming to a new appreciation of the meaning behind symptoms, and whether you are a canary in the coal mine
聽聽鈥⒙犅燣earning the 2 major risks of medication that most doctors are not trained to disclose
聽聽鈥⒙犅燛xploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental illness
聽聽鈥⒙犅燬tarting the process of radical physical healing with inclusive details of Dr. Brogan's history-making 30-day protocol
聽聽鈥⒙犅燭aking an emotional inventory of energy drains and toxic relationships
聽聽鈥⒙犅燭aking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicine
聽聽鈥⒙犅營dentifying the most likely places you have given your power away
聽聽鈥⒙犅燯nderstanding what the science has to say about psychedelics as a tool for awakening
聽聽鈥⒙犅燦avigating health challenges with curiosity and the proper tools
聽聽鈥⒙犅燝uidance, support, and many Travel Tips shared from the trenches!
Our experiences, Dr. Brogan argues, aren't problems or pathologies; they reflect what we need to accept, acknowledge, and transform in order to truly become who we are. Own Your Self is a journey of healing, and also something more: a journey of coming home to ourselves.
The Ultimate Guide To Red Light Therapy: How to Use Red and Near-...

Red Light Therapy -- Miracle "Drug"?

If there were a pill that was scientifically proven to help you look 10 years younger, lose fat, improve hormonal health, fight pain and inflammation, increase strength/endurance, heal faster, improve your brain health and increase your energy levels, it would be a billion-dollar blockbuster drug.

Doctors all over the world would call it a "miracle drug," and millions of people would be told to start taking it.

Here's the crazy part: That "drug" exists.

But it's not a pill. It's red light therapy!

Did you know that light has the power to heal your body and optimize your health?

Of course, everyone knows about the importance of vitamin D from sunlight (from UV light). But few are aware that there is another type of light that may be just as vital to our health - red and near-infrared light.

You may have even already heard about the benefits of red light therapy or seen ads for various devices.

But maybe you're skeptical and think it's all just hype or pseudoscience.

Believe it or not, there are now over 3,000 scientific studies proving the powerful health and anti-aging benefits of red and near-infrared light therapy!

So if it's so great, why isn't everyone already using it?

Simple: You used to have to spend $5,000 or more on a laser device, or spend over $100 for each treatment in a medical or anti-aging clinic (where this technology has been used for decades).

So here's the great part...

New breakthroughs have allowed us to harness these benefits in the comfort of our own home, without the need to spend thousands on an expensive laser device or $100 per treatment at a health/anti-aging clinic. We can now do red light therapy at home, as much as we want, at a tiny fraction of the cost.

In this book, Ari Whitten - bestselling author, health expert and founder of The Energy Blueprint - cuts through all the pseudoscience around this complex topic, and takes you on a deep dive into the science of how to use red/near-infrared light therapy to improve your health, your body and your life in dozens of ways.

Inside this book, you'll learn how to use red/near-infrared light therapy to:

* Fight skin aging, wrinkles, and cellulite and look 10 years younger
* Lose fat (nearly twice as with diet and exercise alone)
* Rid your body of chronic inflammation
* Fight the oxidative damage that drives aging
* Increase strength, endurance, and muscle mass
* Decrease pain
* Combat hair loss
* Build resilience to stress at the cellular level
* Speed up wound/injury healing
* Combat some autoimmune conditions and improve hormonal health
* Optimize your brain function and mood
* Overcome fatigue and improve energy levels

You'll also get critical information to get the best results, including:

* Specific dosing guidelines for every type of treatment (and how to avoid the big mistakes most people make)
* The 5 "bioactive" types of light that affect human cell function and human health
* Which health issues respond best to red/near-infrared light therapy
* The best light devices to get (and why most devices on the market are a waste of money)
* Exact protocols for how to use red/near-infrared light therapy for everything from fat loss, to brain optimization, to skin anti-aging and everything in between

Optimal light exposure habits are as essential to good health as good nutrition habits. But the big problem is that, just as many people eat diets of processed junk food and fast food, most people are eating "light diets" of "junk light" and end up with chronic "mal-illumination." This book will show you how to fix that.

Red and near-infrared light therapy is one of the biggest health breakthroughs in the last half century.

If you're serious about your health and improving your body, it's time to start using this powerful tool in your life.

text: julius 4 Report post Posted August 27, 2013 Hi, I am DMS Pro customer, I was Pro Customer also in the (old) framework, and purchased a few sections and plugins there. I use them also now in DMS, but until today I had to download and install them with some tricks, like described on the forum or by the 3rd party developers, for example using a plugin wrapper, or even just installing them as a section from Wordpress. They are not in "my sections" in DMS. Question: When will DMS recognize the plugins and sections i "own" and let me install from "my sections" in DMS without any trick or separate installing? (I am obviousely only talking about the DMS ready sections) For the rest, DMS is great, big compliments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"I liked the rules - three styles of music, technical skills and also crowd interaction. To me, the three main ingredients of good DJ set."
If you've been to Paris and experienced its nightlife, it's very likely that at some point in your night you would've been in the hands of local 'turn-up' king Supa! We caught up with our Parisian home-boy and talked Redbull The3style, Social Club, F.A.L.D and why he NEVER smiles!
Let's go back to just before the 2011 RedBull Thre3style. What pushed you to enter and compete in this style of DJing competition?
I thought it would be just be fun to show my skills as a club DJ on a different platform. I was really into mixing different genres of music on vinyl and now having Serato it became seamless. I liked the rules - three styles of music, technical skills and also crowd interaction, to me, the three main ingredients of good DJ set.
Coming runner up in the finals was a bonus, I actually didn't expect it!
Paris Social Club has become an institution for harvesting some of the worlds most talented DJs and Producers. What does that place mean to you?
Social Club has been one my favourite clubs to play in my 5 years (and counting) there. Every DJ and Producer from the EDM scene has stopped by and I've always had an epic night there. I saw Diplo for the first time there, i've met guys like Skrillex, Hudson Mohawk, Flosstradamus, Just Blaze, Baauer, Lunice and many more. So many good memories and parties there. Social Club has also been responsible for launching a lot of emerging talent into the scene, Brodinski is a great example of this. It's just great place for young artists who get the chance to express themselves on the stage - they show mad love to new talent. Paris Social Club is not only a club, it feels like home as soon as you step in.
Finish this sentence - A DJ Supa! set is like…
Something you've never heard before. Your gym workout for the week. A trip to the future. (just kidding)
Tell us about F.A.L.D
F.A.L.D is a DJ/Producer crew I started about a year ago with my friends and managers. At the beginning it wasn't meant to be something serious, just a one off thing for a party. My homies Kyu Steed, Bambz and the french duo Twinsmatic make up F.A.L.D. We all still do our own stuff on the side but the idea is when we can, we put all our energy into a common project. I'm also the oldest guy in the crew and probably the most established on the scene. I really want to put my 'little brothers' on that highlight reel, they're probably the most talented guys out right now.
We're going to start a new residency in Fall at Paris Social Club too!
Lastly - why does 'Supa Never Smile'?
I actually don't know how to smile in pictures.

China's new energy strategy began to focus on the development of wind power. According to national planning, the installed capacity of wind power in the country will reach 20 million to 30 million kilowatts in the next 15 years. Based on the investment of 7,000 RMB per kilowatt of installed capacity equipment, according to the "Wind Energy World" magazine released, the future wind power equipment market will reach 140 billion to 210 billion RMB.
The development prospects ofChina's wind power and other new energy power generation industries are very broad. It is expected that the high-speed development will continue for a long time in the future, and the profitability will also increase steadily as the technology matures. After 2009, the total profit of the industry will maintain rapid growth, and the growth rate will reach more than 60%.
Wind power development to the current stage, its cost performance is forming a competitive advantage with coal and electricity, hydropower. The advantage of wind power is that for every doubling of capacity, the cost will drop by 15%. In recent years, the world wind power growth has remained above 30%. With the localization ofChina's wind power installed capacity and the scale of power generation, wind power costs are expected to fall again. Therefore, wind power has begun to become a gold-plating place for more and more investors.
It is understood that as Tory County has sufficient wind energy resources, as the country continues to increase support for the development of clean energy, a number of large-scale wind power projects have settled in Toli County, accelerating the construction of wind power bases.

Death is raw and confronting in thought yet fragile and tranquil in perception. In my body of work it is represented by the fragile forms of birds and rabbits. I represent the subject through a wide exploration of media, so the contradictions of death can be visually understood, as it is through art one is able to capture new life and beauty after death. My work leads the audience to question the fleeting moment of death as they examine the delicacy, vulnerability and allure of departure from life.

Well, I promised a post on how we did Christmas on a buy-nothing-new budget. Here it is! And its only... almost three weeks after the fact? :)
To start, I must say that my love language is Gift-Giving. I best express my love for others by giving them little tokens of thoughtfulness... usually items that *click* when I see them... because of some personal joke, funny story, or its just them. Not any gift will do. It can also be a card or a note... something that says, "I was thinking of you while we were apart." Equally, I receive love on this same level. My poor hubby.
Anyway, our resolution really put a good challenge on my gift-giving heart! But alas, the many thrift stores in our area and the craftiness of my husband made for an amazingly... second-hand Christmas.
We had decided in the past that we would give our children three gifts each: something they need, something they want, and a surprise. We want to love them with "things" but not overdo it. We also don't want to lose sight of the true purpose of Christmas... the giving. The Gift. So off I went to find gifts for my kiddos. Here's what we got.
For my 1 1/2 year-old daughter: Amazingly enough, I found my little darling a baby doll cradle new in its box at Neighborhood Thrift. Hello??? It had never been opened! Here she is playing with it after we screwed all of the pieces together. At this very moment, around ten baby dolls are sleeping in it... at once. :) Very communal!

Your first detox is like picking up a new sport. At first it is intriguing, you are super motivated and excited about the potential results. Then it begins… the pain and concentration that you need to have to strictly eat what you are supposed to eat/drink and NOTHING else. You have a moment of doubt and maybe even laziness, usually around the liquid days, where you wonder if you are going to be able to reach your goal and whether all this is worth it. You eventually pull through and once you are finally done, you realise how much better you feel, how much better you look and how excited you are about feeling in control of your body's health. Angelique kept saying she regularly does a detox and I always thought it was because she was way more devoted than everyone else, but I get it now. I am actually looking forward to my next one!
I called Ageless Medical Weight Loss and MedSpa after my doctor prescribed Liptor for my high cholesterol and I did not have any energy. Six months later, I lost 104 pounds and had healthy lifestyle.

"I have spent much of my life on one diet or another and this is the first programme that has really made a long term difference. I have stopped yo-yo-ing up and down and I have finally managed to stabilise. My weight is pretty much at the same level that it was at the end of my plan and that was nearly two years ago - that's what I call a result!"

Don't hesitate to ask if you need advice or a second opinion about your treatment, as the staff here are always more than happy to help. We also offer free customer parking on site.

Much Ado About Nothing has come to a close, but please click here to find out more.
"Perhaps the most pervasive view of Shakespeare's comedies is that they are hard to follow, too outdated to be funny, and therefore, dry. Well anyone with that view has clearly not seen a Madcap Theatre production of Shakespeare. At Friday night's showing of Much Ado About Nothing the audience at the Old Fire Station, aged 7 to 70, were falling off their chairs with laughter.
Make no mistake, this is not because they've doctored the lines or changed the setting: this is Shakespeare as Shakespeare intended. A joyously energetic performance full of rapid-fire wit and slapstick comedy."
Daily Info, Oxford
"MadCap Theatre's reputation is growing dramatically (excuse the pun) and watching this you can see why.
As they have successfully accomplished in previous performances, the way they present Shakespeare's plays is in a way that makes it effortless to understand and that has led to them being loved equally by fans of The Bard and those who usually shy away from these centuries old classics."
Droitwich Advertiser
"I for one was delighted to be there to see this collective kick off their summer tour. Superbly cast and wonderfully delivered, MadCap Theatre Productions are once again delivering here and from start to finish I was absolutely hooked."

text: Great story! And what adorable babies. I can totally relate to how you felt postpartum – the weight doesn't come off with breastfeeding like everyone tells you it should. I didn't feel like myself after my second baby, and felt like it was my fault that the weight wouldn't budge. I spent so much effort trying to get "back in shape" that I got really sick and stressed out. I regret not just chilling and enjoying that time with the babies – the weight did come off when I weaned him, and I could have spared myself all that needless agony. Lesson learned: Let's be kind to ourselves after the amazing work of growing another human being (or two)!

Local Roaming SIM
Just a few years ago, roaming plans from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone were prohibitively expensive. Today, all the major carriers offer roaming calls and data for just a few dollars a day. Don't waste time looking for a local sim; save time and organise roaming before you travel. And if your carrier can't offer you a cheap roaming deal, switch to one that will.

Tips for Getting Cheap Tour Packages in Vietnam
Tourists are finding Vietnam as their favorite destination because it is beautiful and it has locals that are hospitable. Travelling is an expensive process and it may even be a great headache when you have to travel with your whole family. There are a few tips you can use so that you will be able to have a cheap tour in Vietnam. Check out www.itourvn.com/ to get started.
Look for Vietnam tour promotions; these are normally efficient when you have to get affordable tours in Vietnam. If you want to do the tour by yourself then you will be required to find the tickets, you will also be required to find hotels as well as restaurant vouchers, and tour packages at the right time because this will save you the money when it is compared with the tailored tours. Doing the tours by yourself may come with difficulties such as unexpected occurrences during the trip such as security in that destination, accommodations or the culture of that destination that you may not be able to plan in advance. With the tour packages you will get benefits that will suit your necessities and they will offer you services and comfort as long as you book them in time.
It is basic to pick the ideal time to go to Vietnam, the peak season is generally in the summer for the domestic vacationers yet for the foreign tourists it is normally January to April. In April the international travel mart will offer affordable tours that will give you a wonderful opportunity if you need to travel and experience adventure tours. Visit link - more info here.
You can decide to book a group tour, this is because booking as a group you will be able to get a good deal with the travelling agency or you may get a good pricing in the flights. Discounts are always given by airlines when more than 10 people book a flight. Going as a group will also reduce the charges you will have to pay on the car.
You should avoid buying the tours during the peak season; this is simply because this time the demand will be high which means the prices will be high because the supply will not be able to meet the demand. Amid the peak season individuals have likewise complained on the quality of the services they are being offered. You can try your luck in last minute booking, companies will usually deposit for services and they may end up not having enough tourists and in order to avoid any penalties they will be required to reduce tour prices in order to attract many tourists.

A HOPE Hospital theatre worker has slammed bosses for urging staff to reuse disposable equipment to save money.
The employee has defiantly refused to obey for fear of spreading MRSA to patients.
The equipment staff are being asked to reuse are Flowtron hospital theatre boots, put on patients during surgery to prevent deep vein thrombosis.
The boots, which are attached to a pump to keep the circulation going, are, according to manufacturers Huntleigh Healthcare, of Bedfordshire, designed for single patient use only.
However, an internal memo has been sent to all theatre staff from acting support staff manager Chris Burns, in which he says: "Please try to reuse Flowtron boots whenever possible, as this is a major expense for the department."
The theatre worker, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of being sacked, said: "I was absolutely horrified at his advice - it comes at a time when hospitals across the country are battling not only MRSA but the new superbug Clostridium difficile.
"Are we seriously expected to take the boots off one patient, after they could have been splashed with fluids during surgery, and then put them on another patient?
"I, for one, will continue to obey the manufacturer's instructions and only use them once. If the company says they are single use only, then as professionals we have a duty of care to our patients to adhere to that advice."
A spokesperson for Huntleigh Healthcare declined to comment on the situation at Hope Hospital, but said: "DVT garments are designed as single patient use at the request of customers.
"Materials and processes have therefore been selected to optimise both quality and performance in single patient use situations."
A Hope Hospital spokesperson explained that the boots do not touch a patient's skin, because fabric has already been wrapped around the leg and is discarded after each patient.
The Flowtron boot is then placed over the fabric and staff wear sterile gloves which are changed after each patient.
She added: "Patients are assessed by the clinical team. Where there is no infection risk, the Flowtron boots will be used for the next patient as long as they are on the same theatre list.
"At the end of the theatre list, the Flowtron boots are discarded. A theatre list in this case will be in the region of two to three patients."
She went on to say: "The Trust has carried out an internal risk assessment on the use of Flowtron boots which found there was no risk associated with this type of use.
"In addition, the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts/NHS Litigation Authority, has viewed this practice as acceptable clinical practice."

Shocking footage shows the moment an "insane" driver caused a huge pile-up by trying to overtake between two lines of traffic.
The blue Ford Fiesta hurtles between traffic at over 70mph before clipping a vehicle which then crashes into a van coming in the opposite direction.
Debris is then seen exploding across the A76 near Kilmarnock but remarkably there were no serious injuries.
Police have confirmed a man pled guilty in court following the incident but have refused to give more details.
The RAC today described the footage as one of the most frightening displays of reckless driving you are ever likely to see.
The footage was captured by Intelligent Telematics, who supply camera equipment to HGVs and other vehicles.
The clip begins with the HGV driving down the A76, with heavy traffic on both sides of the road.
There are visible road hatchings in the centre of the road, but within seconds a blue vehicle which is going at least 70mph recklessly speeds down them.
As the hatchings taper off, two lines of backed up traffic still fill both sides of the road - however the driver makes no moves to slow down or pull in.
After overtaking the HGV and another car in front, the blue vehicle smacks hard into the side of a white van on the left hand side of the road.
This immediately sends the car spinning across the other side of the road - directly into the side of an oncoming van.
The impact shunts the van off the road into a grass verge while one of the its tyres can be seen bouncing onto the verge while pieces of metal spin in the air.
The collision caused multiple other vehicles to stop as pieces of metal and bodywork from the vehicles involved were strewn all over the road.
RAC spokesman Simon Williams said: "This is one of the most frightening displays of dangerous driving you are ever likely to see.
The driver clearly has no thought for the safety of anyone else on the road, let alone themselves. We hope they have been appropriately punished."
Sam Footer, of Intelligent Telematics, said: "Reckless driving, such as this crazy overtaking, represents a huge risk to all road users."
A spokesman for SWD Media, who obtained the footage, said: "The moment this driver chose to carry out this insane manoeuvre he risked the lives of everyone on the road that day.
"It clear from the aftermath and debris that it's a miracle no one was seriously injured in this moment of insanity."
Despite the seriousness of the incident in July 2016, Police Scotland refused to help identify the driver or provide details of the charges he faced or the sentence handed down by the court.
They would only confirm that a 23-year-old man pled guilty to road traffic offences in June last year.
The SWD spokesman said: "I'm pleased he decided to plead guilty, however the lack of details released by police is concerning.
"It is the public interest to know the identity of this reckless driver and at the very least the punishment he received to serve as a deterrent to others."

REVIEW: Romania have become the last team to progress to the EHF EURO 2018 Qualification, beating Israel xx:xx in the decisive play-off on Sunday
Romania complete the field for EHF EURO 2018 Qualification
Having missed the main qualification phase for the EHF EURO 2016 has remained a single failure for Romania's men's national team.
Two years after their surprise play-off loss to Finland relegated them to the first qualification phase for the EHF EURO 2018, Romania are back among Europe'a 28 top handball nations, becoming the last team to progress to the EHF EURO 2018 Qualification with a 32:21 (17:10) second leg play-off win against Israel.
After Finland and Belgium had won their respective play-off encounters already on Saturday, Romania left no doubt on Sunday that they and not their opponents Israel would proceed to the next stage.
Four days after they had won the first leg away 30:27, they also won the second leg in confident fashion.
Israel miss the final qualification stage for a Men's EHF EURO event for the first time since 1996. In the same year, Romania had their last appearance at a Men's EHF EURO Final Tournament.
The match in Calarasi was close until the 22nd minute when the score stood at 11:10, but then Romania went for the early decision by scoring six unanswered goals until the half-time break score of 17:10.
The closest Israel got in the second half was within five goals at 15:20, but overall they lacked the power and were constantly trailing by six to eight goals and in the final stages of the game Romania even double-figured the gap.
Andrei Mihalcea, Dragos Oprea Ionut Ramba and Iuliu A. Csepreghi all scored four times each for Romania, while Ram Tutkenitz was Israel's top scorer with five goals.
Draw in Dubrovnik
The EHF EURO 2018 Qualification draw takes place on Thursday, 14 April, at 10:30 hrs local time and will be broadcast live via the EHF EURO Youtube channel and on the official website, www.ehf-euro.com.
According to the current national team ranking the participating nations have been seeded in the following pots
Pot 1: France, Spain, Denmark, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Iceland
Pot 2: FYR Macedonia, Russia, Norway, Hungary, Slovenia, Belarus, Austria
Pot 3: Serbia, Czech Republic, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Netherlands, Portugal, Lithuania
Pot 4: Slovakia, Latvia, Ukraine, Switzerland, Romania, Belgium, Finland

There are very few academics in world football which rival Manchester City's CFA; the multi-million pound facilities are the epitome of state of the art and it is placed in the beating heart of the Manchester sides blueprints for world domination, however thus far, aside from one or two credible graduates, the most expensive tourist attraction in the North West of England has little to show for itself.
Expectations couldn't have been higher when the plans were announced to build the most technologically advanced footballing production line in the world – a complex which would make Barcelona's La Masia look mediocre in comparison. The plan was to pioneer the ways in which home grown talent was formed, and then nurtured into the next generation of world beaters, yet the Manchester City starlets are creeping further and further away from the first team starting eleven.
Many wonder-kids have captured the imagination of city fans: Ronny Lopes and Brandon Barker examples of those who showed numerous signs of pushing onto bigger and better things, but just as quickly as the belief was encapsulated, it was lost – a multitude of failed and non-beneficial loan spells has seen numerous rough but promising gems fade away into becoming burnt out pieces of coal.
In the time since the CFA was built, the total amount spent on players by Manchester City is just shy of £550 million (not yet including the money spent on players in the remainder of this transfer window), and in that same time the only credible success story coming out of the same academy is Kelechi Iheanacho, and even he was brought in from a Nigerian football academy. Wasn't the sole purpose of this project to stunt the amount of money spent on foreign players, by doing so opening a previously shut door for homegrown talent to be able to flourish at the highest level?
Now, obviously 'Rome wasn't built in a day' and anything truly successful takes time to be put into place in order for it to have the greatest impact possible, yet in this cutthroat footballing environment where results are demanded immediately, there is simply not enough time for anyone looking to carry out such a project, leading to this vicious paradox – players need sufficient time to gain the necessary experience, but just one below par season and a manager usually loses their job, so a near perfect record of results is constantly required – there is no place for such high stake gambling in football anymore, and it is the young, homegrown talent suffering the most.
Use the current City managers time at Barcelona as a case study for example: the sole reason as to why Guardiola was able to introduce the likes of Xavi, Inesta and Pedro, lay firmly with the fact that he had the luxury of spending the time enhancing their development in the Barcelona B side. Now I am sure Guardiola would love the opportunity to develop the likes of Aleix Garcia and Tosin Adarabioyo in a similar fashion, but the outright demand for immediate success is too much of a burden on a manager for them to afford such precious time to academy products.
However, meththods which have been put into place in order to tackle this problem have coincided with the rapid expansion of the City Football Group; stretching out to all corners of the globe, its purpose is to build a network of reliable clubs in various different continents. Despite this imperialistic attempt at creating some sort of footballing dynasty, having linked clubs which ply their trade in the worlds best leagues allows these young prodigies to gain credible and valuable first-team experience.
This project attempts to put right the problems, which Chelsea for example, have faced when dealing with vast amounts of loanees; it completely reinvents the way in which the loan system works, as the clubs taking these players on loan not only get a player which drastically improves their squad, but due to the connections between the clubs the player is granted adequate attention and time to develop, instead of being discarded at a club which had no interest in their future development.
Take Patrick Viera for example: a man who has clear ambitions to go on and have just as good a managerial career as his playing one, has been given a platform to gain the necessary experience at a football club directly linked with Manchester City, which in turn receives the best young talent their parent club has to offer. On paper this may appear as a capitalistic, monopoly style approach to proceedings from the executives in the City boardroom, yet the best interests of all parties involved are kept – players, coaches and the clubs themselves all benefit from this model, with time being the only telling factor determining its overall success.
Gone are the days when a scout would find the next best thing playing on a groggy pitch in the freezing cold on a Sunday morning; football has transformed into a complicated and complex business where the minute details can massively influence long term success; the CFA theoretically should provide this success in droves, it is at the hands of its possessor whether its potential is matched.
