the 1930s, by Douglas A. Irwin, MIT Press, 2012
Read our article in the Cayman Financial Review Magazine, eversion
At the beginning of the Great Depression, world trade dropped by an "astounding 65 per cent in gold-dollar terms". And it is estimated that about half of the decline in world trade was due to higher trade barriers. The world's trade-to-GDP ratio fell from 15 per cent to 9 per cent from 1929 to 1938.
And the world's GDP did not reach its 1929 peak until 1936. Douglas Irwin, a professor of economics at Dartmouth College, explains the reasons for the surge in protectionism in the 1930s – tariffs, quotas, exchange controls and other trade restrictions – and its consequences and lessons for the present in this small book, Trade Policy Disaster: Lessons from the 1930s.
Trade Policy Disaster is a guaranteed non-best seller because it will only appeal to economic policy wonks with a strong interest in trade history and policy. Nevertheless, Irwin has made a useful contribution by destroying many of the myths around the rise of trade protectionism in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
The essence of Irwin's argument is that it was not the pleading of special interests that drove the world into protectionism, but the fact that much of the world was on some form of gold standard, which created politically and economically unacceptable deflationary pressures in some countries.
Most countries were on fixed exchange rates because their currencies were tied to gold, but in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the US and France began to accumulate gold, which caused a loss of reserves in other countries. France increased its share of world gold reserves from "7 per cent in 1927 to 27 per cent in 1932". The loss of gold reserves in other countries caused them to tighten monetary policy, resulting in deflation.
Common lore is that the Smoot-Hawley tariff, which was signed into law in 1930, was a response to the depression and was responsible for the rise in global protectionism. In fact, the tariff was conceived in 1928 during the boom and passed by the House in 1929 before the collapse as way to help farmers who were suffering from falling prices.
Irwin does argue that the tariff and foreign response to it was harmful, accounting for about 5 per cent of the US decrease in imports, but that the depression and the monetary policy at the time accounted for a much larger share of the fall in imports.
Countries with over-valued currencies ran into balance-of-payments problems, and too many of those countries resorted to trade protectionism rather than devaluation.
Irwin states: "The primary motivation for the trade policies of the 1930s was not so much protecting domestic industries from foreign competition as protecting gold reserves from being drained away."
Furthermore, he argues "trade restrictions proved to be a poor substitute for exchange rate and monetary policy changes as a means of promoting economic recovery". This leads him to conclude: "If more countries had been willing to adjust their exchange rates in the early 1930s, the outbreak of destructive protection and the prolongation of the Great Depression could have been avoided." The reason countries were reluctant to devalue was that they feared inflation and a situation where countries got into competitive rounds of devaluation.
Protectionism is normally designed to protect certain industries from direct foreign competition, while mercantilism has the goal of reducing overall spending on foreign goods. Thus, Irwin argues that the policies of the 1930s were more mercantilist in motivation than protectionist.
Economists from the time of Hume and Smith had been critical of the mercantilists. Smith correctly accused mercantilists of confusing national wealth with precious metals and not understanding that trade was not a zero sum game. Hume had explained how mercantilist concerns with the balance of trade were misplaced because "domestic prices would adjust automatically to restore equilibrium".
This is, of course, true in theory, but not necessarily in practice, because many prices – labour for example – tend to be sticky downwards. Keynes had discussed the problem of the frictions in price adjustments and how this led to unemployment.
The global monetary system that was created at Bretton Woods in 1944 still relied on fixed exchange rates, with some ability to make adjustments in recognition of the problems Keynes had outlined, and a continued tie to gold. The abandonment of the gold standard in 1971 and the move to flexible exchange rates has reduced the pressure for trade protectionism and mercantilist policies, even during the Great Recession of 2008-2009.
Irwin argues that protectionist pressure has been reduced because of the rise of globalism and the fact that intermediate goods now make up a greater share of world trade. This change causes more business associations to oppose protectionism rather than support it.
The composition of the workforce has radically changed, and now fewer works are directly affected by international trade. In "1930 about 44 per cent of the US labour force was employed in agriculture, mining and manufacturing. Although not all of these jobs were directly affected by imports, they were in the 'tradable' sector of the economy and some of them might have benefitted from trade barriers.
Today that number has dropped to 14 per cent; most workers are in the service sector of the economy, which tends to be much more insulated from foreign competition." Governments have also been able to resist trade interventions in recent years because of the rules of the World Trade Organization, which did not exist in the 1930s, and to which most big countries have signed.
It has been widely recognised by policy makers, business people, the media and even the public at large that the current financial crisis was not the result of a failure with the world trade in goods and services, but with the monetary and financial systems. As a result, few have proposed restricting trade, when it clearly is not the problem – and that is good news.
Trade Policy Disaster is a useful book for policy makers and others interested in the history and consequences of trade policies from the late 1920s onward.
Readers may notice some data inconsistencies, which Irwin acknowledges, that are due to the problems with the data rather than the author. The book would be even more useful if it had been better organised and more tightly edited – but that said, it is still a nice little reference book.

This World Water Day, we are excited to confirm a three year extension of the HSBC Water Programme, and to celebrate the achievements of its first five years. The Programme has helped to build healthy communities and to develop economies in 43 countries worldwide, bring water to some of the world's poorest people and protect globally important river and wetland habitats.
In September 2015, United Nations member countries adopted 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development aiming to end poverty, protect our planet, and ensure future prosperity by 2030.
Although the HSBC Water Programme has already begun to address many of these goals, over the next three years, they will become a core focus of the Programme with ambitious targets.
Water is at the very heart of sustainable development and ensuring all the Global Goals can be met. Under Goal 6, world leaders have committed to ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030.
Meeting this goal requires close collaboration between governments, the private sector, NGOs and civil society. The HSBC Programme facilitates these partnerships through community outreach work, employee engagement and research collaborations.
Sanitation for all
Over the last five years, WaterAid and HSBC have transformed the lives of people in six countries: Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Ghana and Nigeria. Together 3,114 water pump mechanics have been trained, 3,602 water and sanitation committees formed, and safe water access brought to 1.6 million people and sanitation and hygiene for 2.5 million people.
With WaterAid, the Programme will focus on improving lives and sustaining healthy communities through better access to safe water, decent sanitation and hygiene behaviours. The partnership will support the sustainability of existing projects as well as reaching even more people with water, sanitation and hygiene services.
This will be achieved both from the top down and from the community level up:
- Working with international bodies and with national governments, national systems and private sector to improve the systems which map, plan, budget, deliver and maintain WASH services
- Working with district governments and local communities and to improve local mapping, planning, budgeting and service delivery. In turn we work with communities to help them improve their own services, for example, to build their own toilets and to hold their local councils to account
WaterAid Chief Executive Barbara Frost said:
"We are immensely proud and excited to continue our work on the HSBC Water Programme alongside Earthwatch and WWF for a further three years. The scale and ambition of the Programme, the investment in WaterAid over the past five years and the partnership approach fostered by HSBC has allowed us to plan, take risks and to make sure our work is delivered sustainably. We look forward to many more successes during this extended term. Thank you to all involved for your vision, determination and hard work."
Employee engagement
Earthwatch has empowered HSBC employees to become part of the solution to the global water challenge. More than 8,000 employees have been trained as Citizen Science Leaders taking part in urban freshwater research projects established in 38 cities across 18 countries. This has resulted in 30 partnerships with wildlife protection organisations and rivers trusts around the world, 2,500 water sites sampled across 6 continents and 15 studies in leading scientific publications.
Earthwatch has today launched the Water Academy, a new initiative that connects HSBC employees, families and friends to local communities and regionally relevant freshwater related projects that contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.
There will also be opportunities to build skills and seek professional development through active involvement in volunteering and learning activities, with a suite of business sustainability experiences.
Protecting freshwater
WWF and HSBC will continue to support healthy rivers, healthy communities and healthy economies through protecting and strengthening freshwater ecosystems in five global river basins which are home to over 1 billion people.
WWF believes that tackling the global water crisis is both a shared responsibility, and a shared opportunity to create life-changing impact through sustainable development. Working together, we can realise a success story for people and the environment: over the past five years of the HSBC Water Programme, more than 170,000 people have been empowered to reduce their water impact through fishing of farming; 1,800km of river and 527,000ha of wetlands have been protected; and over 1,000 businesses have been engaged in tackling the water crisis.
Over the next three years, we enter a crucial phase of a long-standing partnership that was formed in 2001 between HSBC and WWF, where we will continue to support these global achievements with a further focus on delivering on the SDGs to help secure the world's freshwater resources.
"One day, I want to see my grandchildren swim in the river, without having to worry about their health. If we all work together, we can do it." – Virender Pal, Ganga river basin, India.
With collective action from businesses, government and communities, we can meet the freshwater needs of people and nature, allowing both to prosper.

Loss of hearing is very common. It can make it difficult to communicate with friends and family, and interfere with your work. We offer full service hearing testing at all of our clinics. In some cases surgery can restore your hearing. We are experts in ear surgery. Many people need hearing aids. With the exciting technology available in hearing aids today, you don't have to miss out on the sounds of life going on around you. We have a very skilled audiology team that will work with you during hearing testing and in choosing the best hearing aid tailor-fit to you.
Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is an often invisible disorder that can vary in intensity from mild to severe. The loss may be present at birth or develop later in life. Causes include hereditary factors, excessive noise exposure, medications, injury or infection. Different types of hearing loss are treated differently and all options for your unique situation will be discussed with you. The most common type of hearing loss is a sensorineural (nerve) hearing loss which can often be successfully rehabilitated though the use of hearing aids.
Although hearing aids benefit many people, it is important to keep in mind that no hearing aid can restore normal hearing. The benefits depend on many individual factors.
There are several decisions to be made when selecting hearing aids, and this should be a team effort involving you, your audiologist, and your ENT physician. Minneapolis Otolaryngology provides a comprehensive approach to help you make a decision that is best for you.
Hearing Evaluation
A hearing evaluation will be completed by our licensed audiologist. You will be evaluated in a sound-proof booth utilizing the latest equipment to determine the type and degree of hearing loss.
Hearing Aids
Once the audiological and, if necessary, medical evaluations have been completed and your needs determined, we will help you determine whether hearing aids would be beneficial. In our consultation, some of the following items will be discussed:
- Hearing test results: Describing the type and degree of hearing loss.
- Is a hearing aid right for you: It may be that your hearing isn't bad enough to warrant a hearing device. Not everyone with a hearing loss is a hearing aid candidate.
- One versus two hearing aids: If amplification will benefit you, our audiologists will discuss with you the advantages of using one or two hearing aids.
- Types of technology: Digital technology in basic, mid-level, advanced, and premium.
- Style of hearing aids: In-the-Ear, Behind-the-Ear, In-the-Canal, Completely In-the-Canal and Receiver-in-the-ear.
- Communication demands: Lifestyle, job, telephone use, etc.
Follow Up Appointments
When purchasing new hearing aids, a 45-day trial period is given (as required by law). During this time, your hearing aids should be worn on a daily basis. We advise you to return to the audiologist in approximately two weeks following your fitting for adjustments. During this trial period, the hearing aids may be adjusted several times to find the best parameters for your specific hearing loss.
|Styles of Hearing Aids
Completely In-the-Canal
Completely In-the-Canal (CIC) and deeper insertion IIC: The smallest hearing aid on the market. It is a digital hearing device and it will accommodate mild to moderate hearing loss.
|Styles of Hearing Aids
In-the-Canal (ITC): This is slightly bigger than the CIC. It is a digital hearing device and it will accommodate mild to moderate hearing loss.
In-the-Ear (ITE): One of the more common styles of hearing aids. It is a digital hearing device and it will accommodate mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE): One of the more flexible digital hearing aids to fit. It can accommodate hearing loss from mild to profound. Many products now have Bluetooth accessories to enhance your listening situations.
Receiver-in-the-ear: The most popular style of hearing aid. It is very light-weight and difficult to see on the ear. It is a digital hearing device that will accommodate all hearing losses. It can also have Bluetooth accessories to enhance your listening situations.

Igor Duljaj: It's hard when you just watch football
In the latest edition of Shakhtar's interactive magazine, you can find an exclusive interview with Igor Duljaj. The Pitmen's midfielder in 2004-2010 is now performing a new role – Shakhtar U21 assistant head coach. What's it like? Let's find it out from Igor.
- Igor, what is it like to watch an official game from the bench as a coach?
- Emotions are different from those you experienced during a playing career. They are completely different! As a footballer, you could change anything right on the field. So now it is hard when you just watch. The player knows and performs the tasks set by a coach. A coach should follow a very multifaceted process and manage a large team. Of course, it is not easy. But I really like to be a part of that!
- Do you see now the coaching work in a new light? Do you see now what you could not think of two or three years ago?
- I would note a great responsibility. When all is well - people look at the team. When all is bad - at the coach. This is football, that's life. This is normal. It is important to understand that we are at Shakhtar, in the great club! As a player, I played in teams, where we always had to get positive results too. Therefore, in terms of the requirements, there is nothing new now.
- You are doing coaching courses: everyone seems to know what that means, but few have gone this school and know it from the inside. What have you learnt there?
- The process is very serious and complicated. We worked there from nine in the morning until seven in the evening. There have been several examinations... Teachers are of a very high level, professionals in their field. Each of them have taught me something. When I just started attending the courses, I realized how many different things I didn't know regarding coaching! Then I had a practice at Shakhtar. And now it is actually continuing with my work as one of the assistant head coaches of the U21 team. I'm not in a hurry. The course was the first step. The second is happening now.
- What qualities do you cultivate as a coach? What do you already have and what do you need to acquire?
- Oh-oh, I have just started! There are still a lot of things to discover. Miguel told me: 'Now you need to gain experience'. That's what I am doing now. When I used to be a player, I always admired the discipline and respect. These two things have remained and will always be with me. Discipline is the first condition, without which nothing can be done either in sports or in life in general. Everything begins with that.
- This is the basic principle of Mircea Lucescu, Lothar Matthaus and Oleg Kononov, coaches, under the leadership of whom you played.
- Yes, of course. I have learnt a lot from each of them. From Matthaus – to always believe in my team, no matter against whom you play. He demanded discipline and never looked at the names. For him, all the players represented the same level and the attitude toward everyone was equal. Mister is a great specialist, who has been working for many years and has extensive experience. The results of 11 years at Shakhtar speak for themselves. He is a great mentor for young players, who turn into super players. Kononov is also very competent coach, who looked a little forward. He was always searching for new things, looking at football from different angles. Now I'm learning a lot from Miguel Cardoso. He is a modern specialist, who knows a lot and spends 24 hours a day on football! It is incredibly interesting with him.
Full version of the interview can be found in our online edition. Shakhtar magazine is available for free download.

What is Endianness?
Endianness or Byte ordering refers to two different ways of storing multi-byte data in memory by the processor. In the embedded world where the data memory is shared and there is some hardware writing data to this block for some other piece of hardware to consume, it becomes important to understand and agree upon the endianness.
Network and Host Byte order
Yes, same applies to over the network data transfer protocols, in case you are familiar with them. The network uses big endian format while the end device may be little or big endian – hence we have the htons() and ntohs() socket level apis made available for usage. htons refers to "host to network" while ntohs refers to "network to host" byte order conversions.
Consider a 16-bit integer in hex format 0x1234. This is represented in a "little endian" system with lower order byte first "34". And,is represented in a "big endian" system with higher order byte "12" first as summarized in the table below.
Address Little endian Big endian 0x4000 34 12 0x4001 12 34
Example 32-bit data : 0xABCD1234
Address Little endian Big endian 0x4000 34 AB 0x4001 12 CD 0x4002 CD 12 0x4003 AB 34
Detecting the Byte order
Now that we know what big and little endian is, let's see how we could potentially identify the endianess of a system.
Let's assume we have a integer variable with value set to 1 – represented on a 16-bit system as 0x0001. If the first byte is 1 (that is data at lower address) then, it a Little endian system else it is a Big endian system. To check if the system is little endian we could write the sample program below.
boolean isLittleEndian()
int i = 0x0001; // 16-bit variable
char* a = (char*) &i; // size of char value is a byte (8 bits)
return (*a)?1:0; // terenary operator (condition?value_if_true : value_if_false)
If above returns true – the system is little endian else the system is big endian.
As I had briefly mentioned above, the socket libraries support api's for conversions such as htons() and ntohs(). Now, let's see how we could implement our own functions for this.
htons() is used to convert from host to network order [hton] for short variable [s] : that is little endian to big endian.
As seen in the example below, all we have to do is swap the bytes passed. Do check the post about bit level operations to understand the trick used here.
|Little endian
|Big endian
uint16 htons(uint16 input)
//reuse the endian check function
//host is little endian – conversion needed
//use bit manipulation tricks to swap the bytes in-place as below
return ((input&0xFF00>>8)|(input&0x00FF<<8));
//this means it is in big endian format
// no conversion needed
return input;
That's all in this tidbit.
Until next tidbit, keep decoding ! Happy programming !

Bad neighbours are not just annoying, they can also cut into your property value by as much as 10%, says a leading U.S. appraisal group.
The Chicago-based Appraisal Institute, the largest professional association of real estate appraisers south of the border, says everything from annoying pets, unkempt yards, unpleasant odors, loud music, dangerous trees or poorly maintained exteriors can cut into the value of your home.
The group suggests before you buy make multiple visits at different times on various days of the week to try to get a flavour of what's going on in the neighbourhood and whether it could impact the value of your potential home over time.
"I've seen many situations where external factors, such as living near a bad neighbour, can lower home values by more than 5% to 10%," said Richard Borges, president of the Appraisal Institute. "Homeowners should be aware of what is going on in their neighborhood and how others' bad behaviors could affect their home's value."
The group has some suggestions for homeowners dealing with bad neighbours, including talking to others in your area and approaching the bad neighbour together. You can also look up any planning or subdivision restrictions to see if the neighbour is committing an offense. If all else fails, calling a lawyer could be cheaper than the loss in the value of your home.
"Potential homebuyers also should be aware of a property's proximity to commercial facilities, such as power plants and funeral homes, as these also can negatively affect a home's value," the group adds.
Elton Ash, the Kelowna-based regional executive vice-president of Re/Max of Western Canada, said he has seen first hand the value of property sink because of neighbours. It happened in a rural neighbourhood in British Columbia where a neighbour had virtually turned his property into a junkyard — with the township finally stepping in to clean it up because homeowners couldn't sell their property.
"A motorcycle gang could move next door, that's an extreme example," said Mr. Ash. "But neighbours parking a couple of cars on the lawn is not going to help your home value. The old saying that fences make good neighbours has more truth than you might think."
He says an appraiser will lower the value put on a home because they almost have to or face the wrath of the bank that is loaning out money based on that valuation. The bank needs to know it can get its money back if the loan goes bad and the home has to be sold.
Keith Lancastle, chief executive of the Appraisal Institute of Canada, said he doesn't have data to prove that neighbours could lower the value of your property. He said an appraiser would make a note on an assessment if he felt there might be a concern in the neighbourhood.
"When an appraisal is done on specific property it looks at a number of factors in terms of assessing the value," he said, adding it's doubtful a Canadian appraiser would knock down a value based on a specific problem with a neighbour. "Some of this is very subjective."

Become A Nonsmoker After Reading These Tips!
Having to satisfy your need to smoke can be awkward at times. You have to disengage from your preoccupations and step outside to smoke, and it doesn't feel the same if you have to make do with something other than smoking. If you've finally had enough of smoking, and want to quit, read on. This article has lots of tips to assist you in quitting smoking.
When you've made the decision that smoking is no longer for you, seek out a support group for help. It can be very beneficial to network with people who have been where you are, and understand the emotional and physical challenges that you're going through. Other ex-smokers can support you in your attempt to stop smoking, and can suggest techniques to try that worked for them. You can check your local church, rec center, or even the community college to find these support groups.
If decide to give up smoking, try hypnosis. Each year, thousands of people utilize the services of licensed hypnotic therapists for help with their smoking addiction. During hypnosis, the hypnotist will give you positive affirmations while you are hypnotized. Consider this option because it's worked for thousands of people!
Make a list of what methods you can use to quit. Take time to create a list of ideas that fits your own lifestyle and habits. Different approaches work for different people. It's very important that you find something that works good for you. This is easy to determine by writing your own list.
Make sure that you get an ample amount of rest when you are working to stop smoking. Not getting adequate sleep can sometimes lead to cravings. Many times, there is nobody around during late night hours, which makes it easier to sneak in a couple puffs. If you go to bed and get up on a schedule, you'll be far more likely to quit smoking for good.
To prevent yourself from gaining weight after quitting smoking, snack on fresh fruits and vegetables instead of sweets or carb-laden foods. This will prevent the likelihood of weight gain that is so common for people who've recently given up cigarettes. Remember that your body is going to crave food when you quit and the best thing to do is give it healthy food to keep you in a healthy state of mind.
Have people that you know you can trust to help you quit smoking. Let them know that you need that kind of support and that there is no need to be judged by them. So, let people around you know that you're going to stop smoking and that your mood is going to change because of this. Quitting is one of the most difficult things a smoker may have to go through in their life and gaining the support of your loved ones is imperative to your success.
Eliminate the triggers you associate with smoking cigarettes. For instance, if you enjoyed smoking in your vehicle or while reading a book, you must change this behavior while performing these tasks, so that you don't automatically pull out a cigarette out of habit. Choose another activity instead of smoking while engaging in these activities. This will distract you from cigarette cravings.
Stop Smoking
If you stop smoking, you'll be improving not only your own health, but the health of those close to you. Secondhand smoke can cause cancer and other major health complications. If you stop smoking, you are removing secondhand smoke from your loved ones lives. Quitting smoking will not only improve your health, but the health of your family and friends as well.
Motivation and positive thinking can be very helpful in helping you stop smoking. Try to highlight the advantages and the improvements to your overall health. Think about how much better your breath will be, how clean your teeth will be, or how much better your house will smell. Thinking about all the good that can happen as a result of quitting can be just as motivational as thinking about the bad.
Great advice when quitting is to stop smoking altogether. Instead of setting a deadline that you can keep pushing back, quit today. Quit and don't allow yourself to ever smoke again. The cold turkey method will seem very difficult. However, this method has been shown to actually be more effective, as time goes by.
Plan in advance how you are going to respond to stress without turning to cigarettes. When a stressful occurrence happens, smokers are typically used to just lighting up a cigarette and smoking their stress away. If you have a plan on what you are going to do instead, you are more likely to avoid smoking. Have a lot of ideas, in case your initial idea does not help.
Consider keeping a photograph of your family with you at all times while you quit smoking to remind you of your motivation. One out of every five American deaths is related to smoking in some way, according to many statistics. Don't become one of these unfortunate statistics.
If you are tired of smoking, you've beaten half the battle. The advice in this article should motivate you to finally give up smoking. Try these techniques to help you curb the urge to smoke.

Accelerate Incident Response using Network-based Forensic Evidence
Over 80% of breaches originate from outside the network1. Attackers are gaining access through phishing, ransomware, and point-of-sale hacking. Once in, they command and control across your network boundaries.
Forensic data collection, including network forensics, is an essential element for your incident response capabilities.
Network Forensics is a sub-branch of digital forensics. It involves monitoring and analysis of computer traffic for the purposes of intrusion detection, legal evidence, or information gathering.
Before you can identify a threat, you must be able to see evidence of the attack within your IT environment.
Transform your physical or virtual system into a network forensics sensor for free with NetMon Freemium.
LogRhythm NetMon can help you detect, identify, and capture the forensic evidence you need to reduce your incident response time. When combined with the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform, NetMon correlates data with additional sources, provides analytics to identify patterns, and manages an incident through to case management.
To understand if you are using network forensics successfully, ask yourself the following questions:
Real-time monitoring and big data analytics
Dashboards to identify threats
Easy searches with rich, session-based metadata
Out-of-band architecture
Application recognition of over 3,000 distinct applications with rich classification and extensive metadata for visibility into network sessions
Access to rich forensic data
Script-based deep packet analytics (DPA) for real-time detection
Session-based full packet capture
Layer 4–7 analysis with true application ID and rich metadata

S200/CZ 200 HuMa Regulator - Internal - DIY Fit
This is for a no-drill DIY fit HuMa internal regulator for your Air Arms (CZ) S200. It is best suited to people who have rifles with no anti-tamper or if you know how to adjust the power to keep the rifle legal.
Please note that the regulator can only be fitted to the S200s (CZ 200) with Quick Fill. If your cylinder has to be removed to fill it, then you will need your cylinder modifying/converting to Quick Fill to allow the regulator to be fitted. You can fit the standard Air Arms quick fill, HuMa quick fill or you can replace your standard gauge with an XTX S200 gauge & quickfill.
Because this regulator fits inside the air cylinder it makes no difference to the overall length of the air cylinder. There is also an external S200 regulator available from the eShop if you want to go down that route instead.
For more details about the regulator have a look on the HuMa Air website.
There is a tool available from the eShop that helps you to get the brass firing valve body off without scratching it, the ends are normally very tight.
Before ordering a regulator, please make sure:
- you have made yourself familiar with the fitting instructions on the "Fitting Instructions" page on the website,
- you are happy to carry out the necessary work,
- you are able to adjust your power to keep your rifle legal,
- you have the necessary tools to carry out the work,
- you will need access to a chronograph to set the power once the regulator has been fitted.
The regulator does not come with any printed fitting instructions, the instructions are on my website. Also bear in mind that any video/s you may have watched on YouTube before visiting the eShop may not be the complete fitting instructions, please refer to the full fitting instructions on my website.
Please don't set your rifle over the legal limit in your country or state.

Every three to six months, I end up having to rebuild my development computer. This one machine is not only for development, but also acts as my communications hub (e-mail client, instant messenger, news and blog aggregator), media center, guitar effects and music recording studio, and whatever other roles are needed or desired at the time. On top of that, I'm constantly installing and testing beta software, technical previews, and other unstable sneak peeks. After several months of this kind of pounding, it's no wonder the whole system doesn't grind to a complete halt.
This is an expensive and tedious operation, not to mention time lost from poor performance. It normally takes me a day and a half, sometimes two days, to rebuild my machine with all of the tools I use on a regular or semi-regular basis. Drivers, SDKs, and applications have to be installed in the correct order, product keys have to be entered and software activated over the Internet and set up the way I want, wireless network access and VPN connections have to be configured, backups have to be made and application data restored once they're reinstalled, and there is never a good time for all of the down time. A developer's environment can be a very complicated place!
If it's not error messages and corruption, it's performance problems that hurt and annoy the most. There's a profound difference in speed between a clean build and one that's been clogged with half a year or more of miscellaneous gunk. It can mean the difference in Visual Studio, for example, between a 30 second build and three or four minutes of mindless disk thrashing.
Using an immutable development machine means that any viruses that you get, or registry or file corruption that occurs–any problems that arise in the state of the machine–never gets saved, and therefore disappears the next time you start it up. It is important, however, that everything within the environment is set up just the way you want it. If you set up your image without ever opening Visual Studio, for example, you'll always be prompted with a choice about the style of setup you want, and then you'd have to wait for Visual Studio to set itself up for the first time, every time.
Still, if you invest a little today in establishing a solid environment, the benefits and savings over the next year or two can be well worth the effort. As I discovered over the past week and a half, there are a number of pitfalls and dangers involved. If you've considered setting up something similar, I hope the lessons I've learned will be able to save you much of the trouble that I went through.
After listening to Security Now! and several other podcasts over the past couple of years about virtual machines and how they're being used for software testing to ensure a consistent starting state, I began thinking of how nice it would be if I could guaranty that my development environment would always remain the same. If I could get all of my tools installed cleanly to maximize performance and stability, and then freeze it that way, while still allowing me to change the state of my source code files and other development assets, I might never have to rebuild my computer again. At least, not until it's time to make important software upgrades, but then it would be a controlled update, from which I could easily roll back if necessary.
But how can this be done? How can I create an immutable development environment and still be able to update my projects and save changes? By storing mutable state on a separate drive, physical or virtual, which is not affected by virtual machine snapshots. It turns out to be not so simple, but achievable nonetheless, and I'll explain why and how.
If the perfect environment is to be discovered, I have several more criteria. First, it has to support, or at least not prevent, the use of multiple monitors. Second, I'd like to synchronize as much application data as possible across multiple computers. Third, as I do a lot of mobile device development, I need access to USB and other ports for connecting to devices.
For data synchronization across machines, I've been using Microsoft's Mesh.com which is based on FeedSync, and is led by Ray Ozzie. Based on my testing over the past two weeks, it actually works very well. Though it's missing many of the features you would expect from a mature synchronization platform and toolset, for the purposes of my goals explained in this article, it's a pretty good choice and has already saved me a lot of time where I would have otherwise been transferring files to external drives and USB keys, or e-mailing myself files and trying to get around file size and content limitations. If this is the first time you've heard of Mesh, make a point of learning more about it, and sign up for the technical preview to give it a test drive! (It's free.)
Originally I wanted to use Virtual PC to create my development virtual machine, however as of the 2007 version, it still does not support USB access, so immediately I had to rule it out. I downloaded a demo of VMWare's Workstation instead, which does support USB and provides a very nice interface and set of tools for manipulating VMs.
The diagram below illustrates the basic system that I've created. You'll notice (at the bottom) that I have multiple development environments. I can set these environments up for different companies or software products that each have unique needs or toolsets, and because they're portable (unlike normal disk images), I can share them with other developers to get them up and running as quickly as possible.
Partitioning of the hard drive, or the use of multiple hard drives, is not strictly necessary. However, as I'm working with a laptop and have only a single disk, I decided to partition it due to the many problems I had setting up all of the software involved. I rebuilt the machine so many times, it became a real hassle to restore the application data over and over again, so putting it on a separate partition allowed me to reformat and rebuild the primary partition without constantly destroying this data.
My primary partition contains the host operating system, which is Windows XP Professional SP3 in my case. (If you're using Vista, be aware that Mesh will not work with UAC (user account control) disabled, which I find both odd and irritating.) The host OS acts as my communication workstation where I read e-mail, chat over messenger, read blogs and listen to podcasts, surf the Internet and save bookmarks, etc. I always want access to these functions regardless of the development environment I happen to have fired up at the time.
Mesh is installed only on the host operating system. To install it on each virtual machine would involve having multiple copies of the same data on the same physical machine, and clearly this isn't desirable. I considered using VMWare's ESXi server, which allows you to run virtual machines off the bare metal instead of requiring a host operating system, but as I always want my communications and now also synchronization software running, their Workstation product seemed like an adequate choice. Which is great because it's only $189 at the time I'm writing this, opposed to $495 for ESXi Server.
With the everyday software taken care of in the host OS, the development virtual machines can be set up unencumbered by these things, simplifying the VM images and reducing the number of friction points and potential problems that can arise from the interaction of all of this software on the same machine. That alone is worth considering this kind of setup.
Setting up my development VM was actually easier than installing the host OS since I didn't have to worry about drivers. VMWare Workstation is very pleasant to use, and as long as the host OS isn't performing any resource intensive operations (it is normally idle), the virtual machine actually runs at "near native speed" as suggested by VMWare's website. The performance hit feels similar to using disk encryption software such as TrueCrypt. With a 2.4 GHz dual-core laptop, it's acceptable even by my standards. I'm planning to start using a quad-core desktop soon, and ultimately that will be a better hardware platform for this setup.
Hiccup in the Plan (Part 1)
The first problem I ran into was in attempting to transfer a virtual machine from one computer to another. Wanting to set up my new super-environment on a separate computer from my normal day-to-day development machine, I set up VMWare on one computer and when I thought I had the basics completed, I attempted to transfer the virtual machine to my external hard drive. Because the virtual disk files were over 2 GB and the external hard drive is formatted as FAT32 (which has a file size limitation of 2 GB), I was immediately stopped in my tracks. I tried copying the files over the local network from one computer to the other, but after 30 minutes of copying, Windows kindly informed me that a failure had occurred and the file could not, in fact, be found. (Ugh.) Lesson learned: VMWare has an option, when creating a new virtual machine, to break up virtual disks into 2 GB files. From that point on, I decided not only to use this option, but also to simply build the virtual machines on the actual target computer, just in case.
The next trick with VMWare was in allowing the virtual machine to share a disk with the host operating system. My first route was to set up a shared folder. This is a nice feature, and it allows you to select a folder in your host OS to make visible to the virtual machine. I thought it would be perfect. However, Visual Studio saw it as non-local and therefore didn't trust it. In order to enable Visual Studio to trust it, you have to change machine-level security configuration (in the VM). There are two ways of doing this: there is a .NET Configuration tool (mscorcfg.msc) with a nice user interface, and then there is the command-line caspol.exe tool with lots of confusing options and syntax to get right.
Navigating to Administrative Tools, I was stumped to find that I didn't have this nice GUI tool any more. I've fully converted everything to Visual Studio 2008 and no longer work in 2005, so the last time I built my machine, I ran the VS2008 install DVD. I learned the hard way that Microsoft no longer includes this tool in the new Visual Studio 2008 install DVD. I Googled around to discover that Microsoft, for reasons unknown, did in fact decide to remove this tool from their installer, and that if I wanted to have it, I would have to install (first) the .NET 2.0 Redistributable, (second) the .NET 2.0 SDK, and (finally) Visual Studio 2008. This would mean rebuilding the VM… again. I tried caspol.exe briefly and finally gave up (the example I found in the forums didn't work), telling myself that I really did want this GUI tool anyway, and if I was going to set up the perfect development environment, it was worth one more rebuild to get it right.
Several blue screens of death, some puzzling file corruption, and two reinstallations later, I was thinking that the prescribed solution I was attempting wasn't all it was cracked up to be after all. Whoever suggested it was messing with me, and was probably crazy anyway. I did eventually get these components installed and working by simply repeating the procedure, and after using the configuration tool, Visual Studio did seem pretty happy to open the solutions and build them for me.
Until I opened my other solution and tried to build it, that is. I keep custom controls and designers in a separate solution because of a post-build task that runs and registers the control designers (which is itself an infuriating requirement, but that's for another article). Whenever I tried building these projects, I would get an error that access was denied to create some kind of resource file. I looked at the properties of the shared folder and saw that the file system claimed to be HPFS instead of NTFS. HPFS is a proprietary format of VMWare's that somehow provides an accessibility tunnel to the real underlying storage format, and I don't know anything else about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't have something to do with my problem. Visual Studio does some finicky things, and VMWare certainly does its share of hocus pocus. Figuring out the possible interaction between them was going to be beyond my voodoo abilities and resources, so I had to find another way around this shared disk situation if I planned on developing custom controls in this environment.
Hiccup in the Plan (Part 2)
My Dell Latitude D830 is four months old. I requested a Vostro but was absolutely refused by the company I work for, who shall remain nameless. Supposedly the Latitude's are a "known quantity", will have fewer problems, and are therefore better for support reasons. Regardless, the D830 is for the most part a good, fast machine. This one in particular, however, became a monster in the past week during the time I was trying to get this new setup working, costing me a full week of lost time and a great deal of frustration. Every time I thought I had isolated the cause, some other misbehavior appeared to confuse matters. Each step of troubleshooting and repair seemed reasonable at the time, and yet as new symptoms emerged, the dangling carrot moved just beyond my reach, my own modern reenactment of Sisyphus's repeated torment.
Not only was I getting Blue Screens of Death several times a day, but CHKDSK would start up before Windows and all kinds of disk problems would be discovered, such as orphaned files and bad indexes. Furthermore, the same things were happening with the virtual disks, and VMWare reported fragmentation on those disks immediately after installing the operating system and a few tools. There were folders and files I couldn't rename or delete, and running the Dell diagnostics software turned up nothing at all.
Finally, having a second D830 laptop, the Dell tech suggested swapping hard drives. After installing my whole environment, plus the VMs, about a dozen times, I really didn't feel like going through this yet again, but it seemed like a reasonable course of action, and so I went through the process again. Getting almost all the way through everything without a problem, I finally (with a smile) rebooted my VM and waited for it to come back up, only to see CHKDSK run and find many pages of problems once again.
Warning: The great thing about Mesh is that you can make changes to your files, such as source code, recompile, and all of those changes shoot up into the cloud in a magical dance of synchronization, and those changes get pushed down to all the other computers in your mesh. What's scary, though, is when you have a hard drive with physical defects that corrupts your files. Those corruptions also get pushed up to the cloud, and this magically corrupts the data on all of the computers in your mesh. So be aware of this!
The Value of Offline Backups
Make backups. Check your code into version control. Mesh is a great tool for synchronizing data, and initially I thought this would be sufficient for backups of at least some of my data, but it falls short in several ways.
First, Mesh doesn't version your backups. Once you make a change and you connect to the Internet, everything gets updated immediately. If data is accidentally deleted or corrupted, these operations will replicate to the cloud and everywhere in your mesh. Versioned backups, as snapshots in time, are the only way to ensure that you can recover historical state if things go awry as they did for me.
Second, Mesh is great for synchronizing smaller, discrete files that either aren't supplemented with metadata, or whose metadata also exists in files within the same folder structure and which also gets synchronized. By the latter, I mean systems such as Visual Studio projects and files: the files are referenced by project files, and project files referenced by solution files, but these are all small, discrete files themselves that can also be seamlessly synchronized. When I add a file to a project and save, Mesh will update the added file as well as the project file.
Application data that doesn't work well would be any kind of monolithic data store, such as a SQL Server database or an Outlook's (.pst) data file. Every time you got an e-mail and your .pst file changed, the whole file would be sent up to Mesh, and if your e-mail files get as large as mine, that would be a problem. Hopefully in the future, plug-ins will be developed that can intelligently synchronize this data as well through Mesh.
I'm using and highly recommend Acronis TrueImage for backups. It really is a modern, first-rate backup solution.
In the end, Dell came and replaced my motherboard, hard drive, and DVD-RW drive (separate problem!), and I was able to get back to building my immutable development environment. Instead of using shared folders, VMWare lets you add a hard drive that is actually the physical disk itself, or a partition of it. Unfortunately, VMWare doesn't let you take a snapshot of a virtual machine that has such a physical disk mounted. I don't know why, and I'm sure there's a reason, but the situation does suck. The way I've gotten around it is to finish setting up my environment without the additional disk mounted, take a snapshot, and then add the physical disk. I'll run with it set up for a day or two, allowing state to change, and then I'll remove the physical disk form the virtual machine, revert to the latest snapshot, and then add the physical disk back in to start it up again. This back-and-forth juggling of detaching and attaching the physical disk is less than ideal, but ultimately not so bad as the alternative of not having an immutable environment, and I haven't had the last word quite yet.
I'll continue to research and experiment with different options, and will work with VMWare (and perhaps Xen) to come up with the best possible arrangement. And what I learn I will continue to share with you.

How to Dry Popular Flowers
Use these tips to keep your garden "alive" long after the flowers have stopped blooming.
Dried floral arrangements add beauty and keep the memory of your garden alive year-round. Here are some secrets for drying your favorite flowers. Keep in mind that most flowers continue to mature during the drying process; the trick is to pick flowers that haven't fully bloomed. Also, since humidity levels vary from region to region, drying times may vary as well.
Pick lavender when the bottom flowers are just beginning to open. Air-dry the flowers in an empty vase for three to four days.
Since these delicate blooms tend to curl, it's best to dry pansies in a flower press for four to five days.
Learn More: How to Press Pansies
Dried Hydrangeas for Fall Decor
Fresh flowers are beautiful but they can be expensive and need to be replaced every few days. Late-summer hydrangea blooms can be dried and used throughout the fall season and beyond.
Pick these flowers after the first frost and air-dry them upside down. Another option: Put stems in a small amount of water and place the container in a cool, dark spot until the flowers have dried naturally.
To keep the shape of a rose, it's best to dry it in silica powder. You can also air-dry roses in bloom by hanging them upside down in a dark room for as long as 10 days.
Choose smaller flowers when drying sunflowers. Air-dry the stalks upside down in a warm, dry space for five days. The warmer the area, the better the sunflowers will dry.
Globe amaranth
Globe amaranth comes in seven colors and dries remarkably well, keeping its color for years. Pick this flower at its prime and air-dry it upside down.

How Low? ShoLo
Did you know that every dollar spent at a locally-owned business has three times the economic impact of the comparable purchase at a chain retailer? Doesn't that seem hard to believe? But when you consider that local businesses also hire local services (graphic designers, lawyers, consultants, accountants, bankers, advertisers), it certainly makes sense. Isn't that amazing? Don't you want to go out immediately to your favorite local restaurant or store? I do.
So have you heard about ShoLo? It's a local effort to encourage all of us to shop, dine and give locally. Who doesn't just love that idea? Another great idea: you can purchase a ShoLo Value Card and save at various local establishments.
Need another reason to shop local? To quote ShoLo, "While big box retailers have an immediate impact on the local economy by means of payroll, a whopping 86% of the average chain retailer's revenue leaves the state, flowing to out-of-state suppliers, and back to corporate headquarters."
Next time you're heading out to dine or shop, think local. It is Restaurant Week, so check out the local places downtown South Bend! For more info about ShoLo, check out their website: http://www.sholo.org/
What Color is Your Porch?
Or, what Purple Porch would really like to know: How local is your food?
Purple Porch is a member-owned, food co-op. But don't let that stop you from checking it out. Anyone can purchase from them. And they've made it easy with online ordering. For Wednesday pick up (5-7pm) at LangLab (1302 High St), order over the weekend. For Saturday pick up (8-11:30am) at Good Shepherd School, order Tuesday – Thursday. Or, just stop in to those locations during the listed hours and shop!
Purple Porch is "committed to growing a local, sustainable economy that will reduce our carbon footprint through the purchasing of locally produced foods. We aim to connect people in Michiana who want to buy local, organic and/or fair trade food with local growers who produce that food." Obviously, the quicker food gets from the farm to your table, the fresher it will be. As Purple Porch continues to point out, it "… consumes less energy to get to your table, and is ultimately healthier for you and the planet."

Ribs, Blues and Sunshine
What a glorious day to spend at The Cove today. However, not for baseball. Instead, check out South Bend Park's Ribs & Blues Fest.

10 Minutes for Innovation (…and maybe an iPad)
Have ten minutes to spare on Friday, June 15th? Then head over to the College Football Hall of Fame to support the Innovative Thinker's Camp, a program that brings engineers, technicians and other innovation professionals to speak with our local students about the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship (and how it could apply to their future goals).
From 10am to 5pm on Friday, you will be able to participate in games, contests and competitions. For every person that participates, Lincoln will make a donation to the Innovative Thinker's Camp.

Strawberry Shortcakes on the Blacktop!

Whatever reason lands them there, St. Margaret's House is a great example of women helping women. Thanks to St. Margret's House for being a place in our community that helps women and children get through their hard times, become healthy, and get empowered and connected.

Typecast Takes Manhattan at New York's Pencil to Pixel
By Shelly Wilson on Thursday 2nd of May 2013
Monotype's successful and widely acclaimed Pencil to Pixel type exhibition arrives in New York City this weekend, and we're gatecrashing. Showcasing a heap of typographic treasures, this is an event you don't want to miss!
We're surrounded by type from dawn till dusk, but it's not often that you get the chance to see the history of the typefaces that shape our environment. Only a handful of people can say they've been within touching distance of the original drawings of design's classic typefaces, and this is your chance to join those lucky few.
Revel in 100 years of type design
The Pencil to Pixel exhibit runs from 3–9 May at the Tribeca Skyline Studios in lower Manhattan, and curators have delved deep into Monotype's vault to unveil typographic artefacts that span its 125 years in the field.
You'll be able to get up close to original artwork, examples of precision drafting, metal and film masters, historical photographs of their type designers at work, and the tools used to bring typefaces to life.
It's a rare chance to learn about the birth of some of your favorite typefaces, follow type's trajectory from inspiration to execution, and better appreciate the thought, care, and design craftsmanship that has gone into the typefaces we work with daily.
"It's an opportunity to see the hand of the author," explains James Fooks-Bale, Monotype's Director of Marketing. "A lot of designers are familiar with the [drop down] menu in Adobe but aren't familiar with the fact that [all those typefaces] came from someone's hand. In Salfords alone, at the original Monotype plant built in 1897, there were once 1,000 people at work designing typefaces. The precision engineering apprenticeships there were considered second only to Rolls Royce."
Exciting new additions
The exhibit first premiered in London last year. This New York incarnation will reprise many of the original exhibit's objects but will also feature never before seen artefacts, including:
- phototype masters for the Haas Unica and Neue Helvetica typefaces;
- Eric Gill's original drawings of the Joanna typeface; and
- the manuscript that inspired Adrian Frutiger's typeface Linotype Didot.
They've also added some special items of American type heritage, including a copy of the 1931 Linotype magazine Typographic Sanity (which was published in Brooklyn) as well as original drawings of the Centaur typeface by American typographer and type designer Bruce Rogers.
"These artifacts are not simply for show," explains Dan Rhatigan, Monotype's UK Type Director. "They're chosen and arranged to tell a story about how the design of typefaces is informed, constrained, and even enhanced by technology – whether it's the technology of machine and molten lead or microprocessor and bitmap."
Explore type on tech with the fellas of Typecast
Over in the pixel portion of the exhibit you'll find us joining in the fun. David and Paul, our designer and director, will be there all week with our mini device lab to help celebrate web typography and show visitors how easy it is now to display beautiful type on modern devices. So make sure to say hello.
Grab the controls yourself and see firsthand how classics like the Gill Sans and Helvetica typefaces translate to different platforms and operating systems.
Free tickets & guided tour
Admission is free and they're even providing free guided tours, but you have to reserve a ticket. So grab some friends, book your tickets and make an afternoon of it. We hope to see you there!
Follow Pencil to Pixel on Twitter and join the conversation using #penciltopixel. You can also follow all the chat and the stream of live pics from attendees at their hashtag feed.

In 2010, a European Regulation called the 'ODS Regulation' banned all use of new R22. If you're in possession of AC or refrigeration units that still operate on R22, you won't be able to top them up from 2015. Instead, you'll either have to replace your old units with new, compliant equipment, or use a modern refrigerant to top them up, which will mean having parts of the existing units replaced.
Replacement or conversion?
Considering that any units using R22 refrigerant will now be at least ten years old, it could be time to think about replacing them. Some manufacturers advise against using new types of refrigerant in old AC systems, saying that converted systems can perform less efficiently and lead to higher energy costs.
Things to consider if you're weighing up your options include:
• Age of existing air conditioning systems.
• How efficient the current equipment is. (Check TM44 assessment)
• Whether you have any leakage issues.
• Whether your existing equipment can be converted adequately and without loss of efficiency.
If converting your existing equipment could lead to a higher energy cost (and carbon footprint) you might just decide that replacement is the only viable option as the increase in energy cost might save money on replacing your old equipment a false economy.
Your responsibilities
The EC Ozone Regulations also make it a legal requirement that equipment containing 3kg or more refrigerant is checked annually for leakage, that refrigerant is recovered during servicing and at the end of the equipment's life, and that only people with the prescribed qualifications are allowed to service or repair units.
It's legally your responsibility as the operator of any AC or refrigeration units to check for leakages, and ensure any leaks you find are repaired as soon as possible. You're also responsible for:
• Arranging proper refrigerant recovery by certified personnel during servicing and disposal
• Carrying out leak checks to a prescribed schedule
• Ensuring that leak checks are only carried out by qualified personnel
• Keeping records of refrigerants and servicing
If you have a preventative maintenance contract, you're covered!

The Debit Memo Working Group (DMWG) works to unify the travel industry by simplifying processes and forging new solutions related to debit memos.
DMWG stakeholders come from various segments of the travel industry—travel agencies, airlines, system providers and other key industry sectors. With a wealth of air travel industry experience and diversity, the DMWG, facilitated by ARC, tackles key issues related to debit memos, finding common solutions to optimize the way debit memos are handled.
In December 2017, the Debit Memo Working Group voted to approve the first industrywide set of best practices for debit memos, achieving a milestone in the management of debit memos.
The Best Practices for Effective Debit Memo Resolution and Prevention include guidelines for airlines, travel agencies, global distribution systems (GDSs) and ARC. The goal of these best practices is to produce more effective, timely and predictable debit memo resolution, as well as the prevention of debit memos wherever possible.
ARC is proud to announce the travel industry's first set of best practices for debit memos, created by the Debit Memo Working Group (DMWG).
During its fall meeting, ARC's Debit Memo Working Group collaborated on best
practices and held a workshop on chargeback prevention.
Following a webinar on how travel agencies can reduce debit memos, Delta
has provided a set of resources and guidelines.
United works toward a goal of eliminating debit memos, to the extent possible, by participating in the DMWG.
The DMWG's Mission
The DMWG's mission is to improve the efficiency of the debit memo process, and ultimately reduce the volume of invalid memos, by working together for common solutions that benefit the industry as a whole.
How has the DMWG impacted the air travel industry?
The DMWG's work is ongoing, with meetings held every two months by phone, and twice annually in person. There have been a number of significant accomplishments since the DMWG was established in 2013. Here are a few highlights:

I have a square-cut nail.
I got it this morning, right after I received the elements of Holy Communion. I took it from a basket Brittany offered, like it was the most natural thing in the world. She asked me to remember Christ's sacrifice for me. I said "Amen."
There it is. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do with it yet, but I'm confident the answer isn't "put it in a drawer and forget about it."
We would love for you to join us at Good Shepherd's Reveal service. It's this Sunday, at 10:45. Park in the Old Railroad Bed Road lot—on the east side of the church—and follow the signs.

Reviews & Community
They are Navy but...
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
Despite what others say these are navy blue. Maybe a bit more of a notte blue, which is a shade darker than navy, but they are most def some shade of blue. Functionality is not great. Basic tube design rather than ergonomic cut and design and no grippers on calf so they ride up.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
meh. not much coverage, don't fit well, really flimsy
Barely qualifies as a warmer
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
First of all, I can confirm the complaint that these are not navy. They don't match my team's kit at all.
More importantly, the operative word in "knee warmer" is "warmer." These are barely functional as warmers. I was expecting some sort of fleecy material inside, ya know, to keep the knees warm. No. These are basically lycra extensions to your bib shorts. They do kind of keep the wind off, but that's about it. They also don't have grippers on the lower portion so they ride up my monster calves.
These are an improvement on my team issue knee warmers that have a hole in them due to a crash, but that's about it. I'll replace these as soon as possible.
Definitely not navy
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I returned these knee warmers. Never used them so I can't speak to their functionality but they are definitely black and not navy. I'll keep searching for a quality pair of knee warmers that coordinates with my team's navy kits.

For Release: Thursday, March 15, 2018
DEC and the Town of Spafford to Hold Public Meeting for Planned Otisco Lake Boat Launch
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the town of Spafford will host a public meeting to provide information and answer questions about DEC's planned Boat Launch Site on Otisco Lake, located in the town of Spafford, Onondaga County, on Thursday, March 22, from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the Borodino Grange Hall, 1861 E. Lake Road, Skaneateles, NY 13152.
"DEC's new Otisco Lake Boat Launch Site is designed to enhance lake user access through a modern facility with parking and amenities," said DEC Region 7 Director Matthew Marko. "The boat launch will complement the abundant fisheries resources New York State stocks and manages on this important Finger Lake. The State has worked closely with town and county partners to prioritize public safety and ensure the success of this public access site. I encourage anyone with an interest in Otisco Lake to attend the meeting and learn more about DEC's plans and how public input was incorporated into the final design."
The meeting will feature a presentation about the planned Otisco Lake Boat Launch, including how comments and suggestions from the first meeting were addressed, as well as final site design details and project schedule. DEC will be available to answer questions after the presentation.
"Thank you to DEC for their commitment to working with the town to incorporate local input and provide residents another opportunity to discuss this important project," said Spafford Town Supervisor Christopher Kozub.
Otisco is the only Finger Lake currently without a public boat launch. The Otisco Lake Boat Launch Site will be located on former Onondaga County Water Authority (OCWA) land, just south of the causeway on the west side of Otisco Lake.
