Motorcycle and Bike Safety is something that some of us think about, some of us worry about, but many of us do too little or nothing about it! For many of us, it seems that protective clothing is too restrictive, or is much too hot in the summer heat. Just look at your average rider rolling down the boulevard all cool, collected and casual. Tank tops and brain buckets are the norm with this group. I've been there, done that, how about you? And don't forget the sport bike missile rider that launches past you in the hammer lane at 100+ mpg! I haven't done this one, but what about you? These are two of many types of riders that riding in denial. It is these two types of riders that are contributing to the increasing death rate for motorcycle riders here in the USA and worldwide. While we are contributors to our own accidents, injury and death rates, we are also victims of other motorists at an alarmingly frequent rate!
One of the greatest causes of death or injury, and the leading mortality factor for bikers, is not being seen by nearby motorist. Many of us have died simply because another motorist didn't see us. It's not that people in cars can't see us, they just don't see us. Motorist get into the habit of driving "in zone" and not necessarily in a full awareness mode. We are all guilty of it. Driving becomes so second nature that it's almost a reflex rather than an activity. As motorcar drivers, it becomes especially easy to drop into the zone while we sing along with our favorite CD, play with the cell phone, or dine on burgers and fries while engaging the highway or interstate. While in the zone, we tend to see mostly obvious objects such as big cars, tractor trailers and other attention grabbing objects. These big objects break through the "zone" and motorist respond accordingly by stopping, slowing down, or clearly signaling an intended turn. However, pity to those that can't break thru this zone (you and I and the other millions of motorcycle riders) If you don't believe about motorist driving in the "zone", just think about it…. Do you know anyone that had an accident when they were truly making an effort to drive cautiously? Probably not, at least not in the snow or during a terrible storm. This zone can be a very cozy place for most motorist, but it's a deadly zone for you and I. Our bikes just aren't big enough or loud enough to break through the zone. I can honestly say that all my accidents and even all my speeding tickets in my car, over the last 35 years, have happened when in my zone. Even the times someone else hit me, I probably could have avoided or minimized the vehicle to vehicle contact had I not been in the zone. The zone is the deadliest thing you will face as a motorcycle rider! Pay attention to this article because it can help keep you out of the zone!
As a motorcyclist, if you want to avoid being injured or killed by another motorist, stay out of their zone! The best way to stay out of the zone is to ride defensively, assume every driver is in the zone, and most of all, call a lot of attention to you, your bike, and your presence. A huge Mack truck does a pretty good job of staying out of the zone. Most motorist will absolutely see a Mack truck. Your itsy bitsy tiny motorcycle is another story completely. It very comfortably hides in it's own open lane and that's a fact! Your bike calls very little attention to itself and if you believe otherwise, you are in the zone right now! Often, a motorist appears to look right at you and still may pull out in front of you. We bikers need a much bigger zone presence and anything you do to increase your zone presence can save your life!
Thankfully, there are a few inexpensive things you can do to increase your Zone presence and some of them only require a few minutes of your time. First, do you ride in daylight with your high-beam on? Is your high beam properly adjusted for maximum legal beam height? Many bikers are riding in daylight with the low beam. That's a BIG NO-NO! Furthermore, many bikes have a misadjusted headlamp pointing way to deeply into the asphalt. Next time you see an approaching biker group, pay close attention to the pack. After you get over the fact you're not riding with them, look at the pack and pick out the bikes that command attention to their zone. They are the few, believe me! You should be able to pick out the high visibility bikes immediately from the rest of the pack. Which bike is yours? I hope you are in the high visibility group. Well lit bikes simply have a great street presence and headlamps can be your greatest defense against an opposing left turn in front of your bike. I have no proof to share, but I honestly believe brightly lit bikes are hit less often than dimly lit ones.
Some bikes are very noticeable while others can easily disappear into the Zone. Which bike do you have? If you have a properly aligned headlamp (high beam always on in daylight) and properly aligned running lights, you can easily increase your zone presence to that of a much larger vehicle. It's hard to left turn in front of a biker when his headlamps are blasting bright rays into the windshield of the left turning car. Take immediate action now and adjust your headlights, and use them always on high beam and running lights on during the day. It can greatly improve your chance of not getting hit! If you are worried that your bright light and running lights are too bright in the daylight as to blind a motorist, don't worry! Unless you are running some kind of super nuclear bulb, you will never outshine the daylight.
For all that believe "loud pipes save lives", I say to you that "loud lights save more lives""!
When you combine a brightly lit high beam head lamp and two properly positioned running lights, your zone has suddenly become visually loud — a great advantage to you. This is the perfect scenario to break thru the zone and get the attention of the motorist. Simply put... Maximize your frontal zone appearance and you decrease chances of suffering the number 1 cause of mortality in our brotherhood, a left turn from an opposing car in front of you.
Now that we've covered the front, I have bad news…. The back of your bike is a problem too. Being rear-ended is a "not fun" activity. If you have a tiny, measly and anemic brake light, as do many stylish models, replace it immediately or consider one of the Halogen brake light bulbs from J.C. Whitney ( http://www.jcwhitney.com ) for about $10.00. These halogen brake lights are about 35% brighter and can add a little visual noise to the rear of your bike and help call attention to your brake when applied. Also consider installing rear running lights that also supplement your brake light. Three bright lights on the back of your bike are much safer than a single anemic brake light. It only takes minor changes to generate a huge safety payback. Correct bike lighting on the front and rear of your bike can greatly decrease your chance of being hit.
And while on the subject of lighting, consider adding side lights as well. Side lights are much more effective in night riding. At night, they can help avoid being taken out on your left or right side when approaching an intersection. There are an assortment of extremely bright LED illuminators that can be mounted under your fuel tank and cast a warm light glow on the asphalt below. These super bright LED lights can create quite a large lighted space on the roadway and can be seen for several hundred feet away. Check with your state law to determine legal colors and requirements first, but if legal, add them! Now we're all lit up, what else can we do?
Reflective Decals and Bright Motorcycle graphics are a good step!
For nighttime riding, I strongly recommend reflective materials both on your body and on your bike. A well illuminated bike is going to bring attention to a motorist that is within striking zone, especially if you ride with multi-color reflective items. My favorite configuration is a large and bold reflective helmet decal kit, a reflective vest or jacket, and you can even buy an assortment of reflective motorcycle graphic kits such as tank flame graphics or fender graphics. I suggest that you investigate reflective products and pay close attention to items that can be permanently attached to your helmet or motorcycle. My favorite place for reflective motorcycle graphics and helmet decals is Streetglo Reflective Decals and graphics ( http://www.streetglo.net ). They have a very impressive photo at this site that demonstrates the effectiveness of reflective helmet decals and reflective motorcycle graphic kits. On my own bike, I have a large racing stripe reflective decal configuration on my helmet that is visible from the left, right and rear of the helmet. On my motorcycle itself, I have at least 144 square inches of highly reflective graphics in the form of decorative reflective pinstripe and reflective gas tank flames and reflective fender flames. These reflective flame decals look absolutely stunning in the day and dress up the bike at night. Best of all, they explode in bight colored light at night whenever headlights are pointed at them. You can see the side of my bike better from the reflective decals than the headlamp itself (side view). With the right combination of reflective decals, permanently installed, you are still pretty well protected even when you forget to bring along a reflective vest or jacket. Reflective decals and materials are especially important if you have a dark colored bike.
If you are not willing to consider reflective decals on your bike, consider airbrushing with contrasting bright colors on your fenders and tank. There are a number of really nice airbrush sites on the internet that can give you ideas for your own bike. Visit http://www.streetglo.net/links as there is a large collection of airbrushing sites in Streetglo's motorcycle index. The point that should be taken here is dark colors don't reflect light very well. If you want to ride safe, you must take all available actions to make sure your bike is seen, especially at a 90 degree angle when riding at night.
While airbrushing can be very expensive it can add great visual impact to your ride not to mention some designs can make an ordinary bike an extraordinary one! If something less expensive is on the agenda consider reflective decals and vinyl graphics which are relatively inexpensive. If you go the route of vinyl graphics, then select Reflective Vinyl over any other type. There are several companies that specialize in reflective vinyl graphics including Streetglo, Reflective Decals and others, just to name a few. You can completely customize your bike with reflective graphics for less than $100.00 including really bright reflective helmet decal designs. Having your head illuminate like an alien spaceship when a car is within striking distance of you is a pretty cool idea!
To maximize your appearance at night with reflective graphics I suggest a combination of items including large and bold reflective helmet decals, reflective pinstripe and reflective motorcycle graphics. You can find really attractive tank flame graphics or other tank graphics to suite your taste. Combine them with attractive fender graphics for a totally illuminating experience! If you are a sport biker rider with factory graphics, consider overlaying reflective graphic designs to make a multi-color graphic. There are some ready to install kits… or you can order a custom kit from nearly all reflective decal manufactures and still not spend more than about $100.00 or even much less! If you aren't much into decorating your bike, consider same color reflective decals and reflective tape. While this will do little in the daytime, it can save your life at night. Same color reflective tape sells for about $5.00 a roll and it won't change the appearance of your bike.
There is no single thing you can do to make your motorcycle ride safer. You are required to take many steps. Being seen and driving defensively are probably the two areas that can greatly reduce your chance of being hit. There are many other things you can do to improve your chances of surviving your next motorcycle ride. First, realize your own mortality is in your hands every time you mount your bike and pull out of your driveway. Realize that your greatest threat is not being seen followed by your own ignorance of not anticipating turns and bends in the road. If you find yourself entering a turn too fast understand that experience may be the difference between completing the turn or rocketing over the shoulder or into oncoming traffic. If you haven't taken a safety course, take one now. Safety courses aren't just for the beginner. Personally, I prefer to ride in light traffic situations. I'm not an interstate rider and I don't enjoy 70 mpg cruising. My point is ride your comfort level and don't go beyond your comfort level. If you stay in your comfort zone, you are more likely to avoid an accident and you'll enjoy your ride much more. And don't forget to check your lighting and make the necessary adjustments. Take action now on your bike to make it naturally safer with visual effects. It can keep you out of the Zone and this is a good thing!

EATG has been participating in the European HIV Vaccine Alliance as a consortium member responsible for communication and dissemination of progress, results and findings.
With 37 million people living with HIV worldwide, and over 2 million new infections diagnosed each year, an effective vaccine is regarded as the most potent public health strategy for addressing the pandemic. Despite the many advances in the understanding, treatment and prevention of HIV made over the past 30 years, the development of broadly-effective HIV vaccine has remained unachievable.
The European HIV Alliance (EHVA) is a five year project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme designed to foster the development of an effective vaccine. The EHVA encompasses 39 partners, each with the expertise to promote a comprehensive approach to the development of an effective HIV vaccine. The international alliance, which includes academic and industrial research partners from all over Europe, as well as sub-Saharan Africa and North America, will work to discover and progress novel vaccine candidates through the clinic.
The July 2016 Newsletter (first newsletter of the project) was published today, and it is available from this link: EHVA Newsletter July 2016

Despite Coyotes OT Loss, Team Future Looking Brighter
Coming off of a strong road trip in Canada, the Arizona Coyotes were on the hunt for a win at home. Winning two out of three on their last road trip, there was momentum coming into a game against a team they've already beat.
Equal Responsibility
The main question for the Coyotes was who was going to get the start in goal. With Mike Smith having a rough start, and still not being completely consistent, he was benched the last two games of their trip after a loss to Calgary. The Coyotes other goaltender, Devan Dubnyk, got the last two starts, and even earned himself a shutout.
The final decision was that Smith would get the start, which seemed normal for Coach Dave Tippett to say. Smith stayed strong, and had a good performance. A goal in the first for the Capitals, and a late OT winner were the only one's that made it through. Post game, Tippett explained that their busy schedule of 9 games in 15 days would mean that "as much as [we] want to say one guy is great and everything, but [we] need both those guys [both goalies] playing well".
Defense Stepping It Up
The difference this game, and the past several, have been the support in front of the net by the defense. A save on the goal line by D-man Zbynek Michalek in the third to stop a goal showed the effort that they were putting out. The only goal of the game for the 'Yotes came from defender Oliver Ekman-Larsson (his third of the season).
Blocked shots were a big story after last nights game. The Coyotes were taking them off of basically everything: heads, faces, legs, you name it. Michael Stone took one to the face in the third and headed down the tunnel for some stitches. Stone said that "it didn't feel nice when it happened", but whatever effort they could put forward to the game was appreciated. When asked if he knew how many stitches he actually got, Stone lightheartedly responded with "I have no idea, I haven't even seen them, yet". True hockey toughness, right there.
Rivalry Feel
If you didn't know any better, while watching the game, you might have thought that there was some sort of big rivalry between the Capitals and Coyotes. Besides the Coyotes last win (6-5) against the Caps a couple weeks back, everyone is a bit confused about the aggression. Then again, that kind of game is interesting to watch, even if it's a nail biter. Chris Summers said that, "it's not a fun hockey to watch by any means.But it's effective and in the long run, I think it's going to be beneficial for us."
The physicality was unreal. It was a fast-paced game, but still low scoring. There wasn't an exceptional amount of shots on goal, because of the amount of pressure being issued by both defenses. Both teams ended the game with only 24 shots, but the Capitals trumped the Coyotes with 41 hits, to 29.
The whole game had you on your toes, and it going into over time just went to show the equal playing field. Both Chris Summers and Michael Stone made comments on this "rivalry" sort of feel during the game.
Offense Still Struggling
I've said this all season, and I will say it again, the Coyotes are not an offensive team. They are known for their defense, and now that their D is getting to the standard that has been set, they are really what is going to make the differences in the games.
The Coyotes don't have any big-time forwards, and therefore they are going to struggle to generate a lot of goals. You have players like Mikkel Boedker who takes a lot of shots, and has good games, but the execution on the shots just isn't there. By no means is it not possible to get there, but it's something that they definitely struggle in.
They controlled the puck and were able to get it out of their defensive zone a good amount during the first two periods. The third period was rough, and it wasn't in the zone that they wanted it to be in enough.
Coach Tippett said that if they keep playing this way, then you need to expect "low-scoring games", but hopefully those can come out as wins.
Coach was impressed with the game, even if the outcome wasn't the one he wanted. They still get a point, considering it was an OT loss, and at this point, getting points is what they need if they want to be serious contenders in playoffs.

GOOD NEWS Boy Writes Letter to Trump Asking If He Can Mow the White House Lawn
CT Residents Get Hate Mail for Flying American Flags
Huckabee Blasts 'Globalist' Flake's Criticism of GOP for Supporting Trump
Last week, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a touching letter a young boy sent to President Trump.
Sanders explained that she will take time at some press briefings to read the occasional letter sent to Trump by American children.
At today's press briefing, Sanders read a letter from a boy named Frank who offered to mow the White House lawn.

Sanders said that Frank "embodies the enterprising and ambitious spirit of America."
She said that she spoke to President Trump and he wanted to let Frank know that he's doing a great job and he should keep working hard.
She also said that Trump has invited Frank to spend a morning at the White House with the groundskeepers to see how the U.S. Parks Service maintains the 18 acres of the White House complex.
"And he'd love to give you the opportunity to cut the grass in the Rose Garden," Sanders said. "It's our responsibility to keep the American Dream alive for kids like Frank, immigrants who are already here and those who dream of immigrating here in the future."

"The Daughter of My King" encourages us to remember that we are daughters of God, and expresses our desire to give away our sins, our fear, and guilt to become like Christ.
Verse 1
When I consider who I am,
The daughter of a king;
Created in His image,
To accomplish holy things;
When I consider all the grace
And wonder I survey
I stand in awe at the love of God
That surrounds me ev'ry day
And I long to know His ways.
I would give away all my sins to know God;
I would sanctify each moment of my life;
I would strip away the pride that I hide inside
To know His peace, sure and sweet.
I would break the chains of guilt and fear
That fetter me and hold me here.
Verse 2
When I've forgotten who I am,
The covenants I've made,
And cannot see the purpose
In the heartache that I face;
When I've forgotten that the worth
Of ev'ry soul is great;
That Christ paid the price with His sacrifice
To take my pain away,
Still God remembers, and He waits
For me to give away my sins and know Him;
To sanctify that moment of my life;
To strip away the pride that I hide inside
And choose His peace, sure and sweet.
To break the chains of guilt and fear
That fetter me and hold me here.
Repeat Chorus
Because I want to be in ev'ry way, in ev'rything
The daughter of my King.

Fucktard of the week!!! ("I'm a kind of famous" edition)
Speaking as a "kind of famous" person, you just have to know when to say when. This might make it in to Fucktard Of The Year contention. (Thanks, TD!)
22 comments:
That doesn't really make it good.
wow, what a find, it gets funnier every time. thanks!
I know live is fair game, but then do you need permission to release that recording? Permission or just pay?
just curious how that works.
The problem comes when it gets famous. Normally if the song doesn't change, there shouldn't be a problem. If you start adding or changing a few words, you need to go thru publishing but not the artist.
I'm on this compilation where we all covered standards "diamonds are a girls best friend" etc... it's all electronica and sounds almost nothing like the original , mine doesn't, nothing was asked by the label who set the project up.
all those tribute cds don't go directly to the management and ask for permission. They just do it.
Weird al asks permission but he doesn't have to and he even changes a few words.
It's just respect if you ask the artist.
The reason let's get physical was a problem had more to do with the name revolting cocks... but i think they had a problem after they released it. but someone needs to clear that up.
Normally, a composer or author doesn't have the right to prevent anyone from doing a direct cover. If you want to release a song written by someone else, you just go to the Harry Fox site (or whatever the analog for Harry Fox is in your country) and buy a license for however many copies you plan on releasing of that song and call it a day. Otherwise, your label pays mechanical royalties to the composer/author's publishing company, avoiding the annoying Harry Fox process.
In the case of "(Let's Get) Physical," it's my understanding that Olivia Newton John blocked the release of the RevCo track via the label. (Warner Bros. owns Sire, of course. Or did at the time; I don't keep track of that shit any more.) You can cover anything you want, but if the label won't put it out, it doesn't matter whether you have the right or not.
At any rate, there's a lot of information about this sort of thing on the Harry Fox site, if you want to do a cover.
Sorry, commenting is closed for this blog entry.

You had to know that something like this was going to happen. My characters don't get to have nice things.
Get caught up at the story hub. Enjoy!
Mrs. Foley's dinner table was laden with more food than Seraph had been expecting, given the virtual family's situation. Brune must have been making supply trips almost daily to keep their pantry this well-stocked. He wondered if there was any rules against importing goods from other virtual worlds. Considering the look that Brune had given him earlier and the way he had been cut off when he tried to ask, Seraph assumed there were probably rules against it.
Brune's siblings were dutifully setting plates and cutlery while Brune's mother was bringing in the rest of dinner from the kitchen. It was a steaming bowl of mashed sweet potatoes and Seraph found his mouth watering.
Brune and Kat were both at the window next to the front door, peering out into the darkness and speaking in hushed tones. The hairs on the back of Seraph's neck prickled and a mild sense of foreboding settled between his shoulder blades. He crossed the room to join them.
"What's going on?"
Brune glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, "Kat said she thinks there's a chance that a horde might be coming this way, so we're keeping an eye on the patrollers out there to see if they're called up to the wall."
Seraph exchanged a look with Kat. Knowing now of her extraordinary abilities, he figured that there was a high chance that she was right. "How far out?"
She shook her head, "I can't tell. And that bothers me."
"Is there some sort of alarm system for the Safe Zone?" he asked Brune. "Something to let the survivors that aren't on the wall know of the danger?"
"Yeah, but they don't usually sound it unless-" The wailing of an air raid siren cut off the agent in mid-sentence and stunned him into silence.
There was a crash of breaking ceramic behind them and when Seraph turned to look, he saw Brune's mother standing over a mess of peas and shards of the bowl she had been carrying them in. Her face was locked in a horrified visage.
Seraph turned back to Brune and Kat, "What? What is it?"
Brune's voice was low and tinged with worry, "They usually sound a horde alarm using the church's bell." He motioned at the window, "The only time they've used that siren was when Zeke was still around."
"The horde must be massive," Kat whispered. "That's why I couldn't figure out where it was; it was too big."
Behind him, Seraph could hear Mrs. Foley trying to comfort her children. The kids sounded terrified.
"Well what do we do? Can we fight?"
Brune shook his head solemnly, "We don't have enough soldiers to fight a group that big. We have to evacuate the Safe Zone."
Seraph's mind worked frantically, trying to remember how large the settlement had been when he and Kat had first arrived. He had guessed that there were probably a few hundred surviving adults and twice that in children. It would take a long time to mobilize that many people to get them out.
"Mama," Brune's voice cut through the sound of his siblings weeping. "Get everyone together, we need to get you all out of here."
There were tears in her eyes when she replied, "But to where, Barrett? This is the last safe place anywhere. The scouts haven't found anything else out there."
"I don't know, but we need to get you away from that horde. At least for now. Maybe they'll just pass through and we can come back later."
With a defeated nod, she turned back to her children and started coaxing them to go and get ready to leave.
"Brune," Kat's voice was quiet, too low for his mother to hear, "You know they won't just pass through."
Brune nodded, a defeated look crossing his face.
Seraph frowned in concentration. Something that Brune had said to his mother had tickled at something in the back of his mind. We need to get you away from that horde…
It was a possible solution, one that would leave the Safe Zone unmolested and the occupants safe in their homes. But it was risky. He looked back at Brune's family and caught sight of Sabrina tying her boots on as silent tears streaked down her cheeks.
"Wait," Seraph's exclamation made the other agents jump in surprise. "I have an idea."

MedArt Orchestra was established in 2008, consisting of a mix of professional musicians and amateurs who identify with the mission of MedArt and play for the forgotten people. The orchestra is made up of a mix of professional musicians from orchestras in Hong Kong, music teachers and medical personnel that have served in the China Orphan Outreach programme. All of the members, who perform pro bono, have set aside time in their usual routines to attend a week of intensive rehearsals prior to the concert. This year, around 80 musicians in the orchestra and some 20 brass players will perform.
Previous MedArt charity concerts have been described as "heartwarming", "inspiring" and "memorable". It also has been a rare opportunity as it brings together top musicians locally and overseas to work together for one single cause – to remember the forgotten.
"The cause prompted among the players a gravity that produced an earnest music-making effort rarely felt in a paid concert…[Musicians] tackled the long work with focus and depth, overcoming technical challenges through a conviction that they were helping society's forgotten." – South China Morning Post, 2015

Or What if He Completely Disappears?
We've all heard the old adage, "What if such and so is hit by a bus," and at CIS we hear that more than every once in a while. In fact, often business owners and decision makers call us because they are looking at their options, you know, "in case their IT guy gets hit by a bus."
But what if it isn't a bus? What if he retires? What if he gets a serious illness? What if he moves to another state? What if he has a new high paying job? What if he gets thrown in jail? What if he just disappears one day and you never hear from him again?
Often, when we are meeting with business leaders and talking to them about their IT, they tell us, "They have a guy. Yeah, Joe. Joe's been helping them out for years. Joe knows their system. Joe is like one of the family." That's great for today, but what if Joe disappears tomorrow?
Has your long-term IT guy that knows your system in and out been documenting your network setup and processes? In the IT world, documentation is essential at nearly every stage. Your IT guy, your IT employee, or your IT partner, should be creating documentation to all things relevant to your IT systems. This goes way beyond your IT plans or budget. You need documentation of your IT assets, network diagrams, security policies, and disaster recovery policies. Yet, often one-man-shops, like Joe (your IT guy), fail to document the important aspects of your systems.
At CIS, we've seen it all too often. A business has an "IT guy", who just knew then ins-and-outs. Then he just disappeared one day, leaving the company completely high and dry. They don't about how their systems were setup, or what their systems actually entailed.
After you lose a person that knew your system, but never documented it, you will have to get someone in there to map out your entire system from scratch. Consequently could take a lot of time. And if a disaster happens, before you get a new IT partner, you'll be in the dark about steps to take for your disaster recovery plan. This could result in loss of precious customer data, intellectual items, or days of downtime.
Most businesses in the modern world are heavily dependent on technology and IT. It's what makes your business run, it's what keeps you operational, and it's what increases your bottom line. At CIS, we have spent three decades formalizing best practices to ensure that your systems run efficiently and effectively.
Did your "IT guy" recently disappear and now you don't know what to do? Would you like to know how vulnerable you are? Contact us today…we can help!

3D printing is an amazing, innovative advancement that's ideal for teaching kids about technology and engineering all while having fun and using their creativity to make whatever they want. But despite the technology becoming more commonplace thanks to affordable 3D printers, there's still a big technical knowledge hurdle kids have to overcome. To help make the technology more accessible and easier for children to pick up, Mission Street Manufacturing has developed a new Printeer 3D that simplifies everything to basically drawing desired shapes on an iPad — and the California-based start-up promises that anyone can master 3D printing in just 30-seconds. See the Printeer in action after the jump!
All that's required for a kid to join the 3D printing frontier is a an iPad, Wi-Fi connection, and the Printeer 3D machine itself. Using an iOS Draw app, kids and adults alike can sketch out objects on a screen using just their fingers. There's no need to learn AutoCAD or any serious engineering programs. Just create an object as if you were drawing it to life. Of course, Printeer users are free to connect the machine to a computer to create fully rendered 3D models.
RELATED | Hasbro Teams Up with 3D Systems So Kids Can Start 3D Printing Their Toys
To make the whole package kid-friendly, Mission Street Manufacturing has gone to lengths to encase its 3D printer in clear, colorful housing. The extra housing helps keep the mechanical bits away from children's reach — including the motors, pulleys, belts, and sliders — but it's still transparent for kids to witness and learn exactly how the machine works. The Printeer 3D is currently hoping to launch into production with a Kickstarter that's less than $10,000 shy of its $50,000 goal. For pledges of $549 parents can get a fully built Printeer 3D in one of four colors with a spool of filament to boot.

Bude RNLI rescue professional kayaker caught out by conditions off Widemouth Bay
Bude RNLI was tasked to rescue a professional kayaker on Saturday evening after she capsized in large surf off Widemouth Bay.
Volunteer lifeboat crew were paged shortly after 11.30pm to respond to a 999 call from Ailien Rhijnsburger, a professional kayaker who is paddling around the UK solo. She was completing a leg from Trevose to Bude and had been unable to land at Bude due to the large surf, so she had returned south to find alternative safe landing but had capsized on rocks south west of Widemouth Bay.
The D class lifeboat was tasked and volunteer crew safely launched the lifeboat in the dark through the surf and proceeded to search the area. Staying in contact with Ailien, the volunteer lifeboat crew were able to advise her to flash a light to identify her position. The lifeboat was then manoeuvred towards her location with caution due to minimal visibility and large swell.
Ailien was happy to paddle away from the rocks towards the inshore lifeboat, as crew were unable to get any closer. Lifeboat volunteers illuminated the water throughout so she could see her exit route clearly. She was taken aboard the D-class and transported back to shore with her five-metre kayak.
Ailien says: 'I had missed my safe haven that I'd planned to land in so was looking for somewhere else to land. There was too much surf to go into Bude so I started paddling back and capsized in the surf. The Bude RNLI volunteers came out through the surf and in the dark to save somebody they didn't know, it's amazing. I had all the recommended safety gear on board but knew I wasn't able to get any closer to the shore safely in the surf so made the call before I got into more difficulty. Everybody at Bude RNLI has been amazing and have gone above and beyond my expectations.'
Ailien was provided with accommodation overnight by a crewmember and returned to the station in the morning to meet up with crew. She is currently staying in Bude until the weather settles for her to continue her trip.
Bude RNLI volunteer Lifeboat Operations Manager Chris Wilson says: 'Ailien is an experienced Dutch kayaker and as such was fully equipped, trained and prepared. Her sea experience and the fact that she was carrying the correct safety equipment ensured that the volunteer crew were able to carry out a rescue safely in difficult conditions. It just goes to show that even the most experienced people can get caught out by the sea and reiterates the importance of respecting the water.'

Key facts about the RNLI
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the charity that saves lives at sea. Our volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service in the United Kingdom and Ireland from 238 lifeboat stations, including four along the River Thames and inland lifeboat stations at Loch Ness, Lough Derg, Enniskillen, Carrybridge and Lough Ree. Additionally the RNLI has more than 1,000 lifeguards on over 240 beaches around the UK and operates a specialist flood rescue team, which can respond anywhere across the UK and Ireland when inland flooding puts lives at risk.
The RNLI relies on public donations and legacies to maintain its rescue service. As a charity it is separate from, but works alongside, government-controlled and funded coastguard services. Since the RNLI was founded in 1824 our lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved at least 140,000 lives. Volunteers make up 95% of the charity, including 4,600 volunteer lifeboat crew members and 3,000 volunteer shore crew. Additionally, tens of thousands of other dedicated volunteers raise funds and awareness, give safety advice, and help in our museums, shops and offices.

Meet Libby. She is one of our fully-sighted kitties. This photo doesn't do her eyes justice. They're a gorgeous blue with hazel specks. Libby is a shy but very loving kitty who likes nothing more than sleeping in your lap or grooming your hair. She was surrendered for "thinking outside the box" and was at risk for this behavior issue. We had her checked by our vet and she had no health or urinary issues so this behavior was likely due to stress or litter box cleanliness (she hasn't had any accidents with us). This little girl is a joy and we love her very much!

Dear reader I just finished reading "Honor's Knight" book number two in the "Paradox" trilogy by Rachel Bach. I picked up this book in the Nook store on my tablet because I had to know what happens next. My personal review of the book is as follows:
It took me personally awhile to get into the storyline because of romance related stuff and waiting for the character to remember/deal with stuff that happened in the first book in the series. I really enjoyed the romance between them so watching the main character deal with the issues in the beginning nearly broke my heart.
Near the middle of the book the storyline kicks off my personal advice is to "buckle in" so to speak because it's a wild ride. The last half of the book really(in my personal opinion) showed the main character's complexity and depth of her and her commitment to who she is and what she believes, she is fast becoming my all time favorite female characters. The last half of the book left me feeling excited to see how everything ends. I will be downloading the final book in the trilogy from the Nook store on my tablet as soon as I finish finished posting the review.
Overall I personally rate this book a 8 out of 10. Happy reading dear reader ?. Please like and share this review if you like it doing so helps me to get considered by publishers and authors for future books and helps others to find my reviews ?.
PS. If you're interested in possibly having me do a book review of your book please email me at email@example.com or tweet me on Twitter @BookNerd0486

ALBUM appoints new Chairman
ALBUM, the organisation that represents the interests of municipal and independent bus operators, has appointed a new Chairman, following Mark Fowles of Nottingham City Transport standing down as he intended
ALBUM's membership provides some five thousand of the nation's buses, and is thus close in size to one of the plc operators.
Appointed as Chairman of ALBUM at their Annual General Meeting in Glasgow last week, is Bill Hiron, Managing Director of Stephensons of Essex, the well- known independent operator.
Bill commented: "Now, more than ever, the non-aligned bus sector needs to have a strong voice with central and local government, suppliers, the Traffic Commissioners and other stakeholders. Not only is the detailed guidance to the Bus Services Act still being formulated, but we face the multiple challenges of clean-air zones, increasing congestion, new technology, local authority budget constraints, and a reduced high street footfall which create the 'double whammy' of increased costs alongside reduced income. ALBUM is a respected industry voice, and aside from responding to formal government consultations that affect our sector and indeed the bus industry more widely, and sharing best practice, we need to maintain our profile as the professional voice of the SME's".
At the AGM, Bill Hiron thanked Mark Fowles for his contribution in his year as Chairman and Mark will remain on the ALBUM Executive.
The Vice-Chairman appointed at the AGM is Andrew Halliday the Managing Director of Safeguard Coaches of Guildford.
Leading figures honoured at double bus naming
At a bus naming ceremony held at The Museum of Power in Langford tributes have been paid to two leading figures at Stephensons of Essex, Lyn Watson and Chris McCormick, who both sadly died in May 2017.
Bill Hiron, Managing Director of Stephensons of Essex, dedicated the two buses with the help of both Chris and Lyn's family.
Speaking about Chris McCormick, Bill said: "He was an invaluable member of the team. His people skills were outstanding."
"Chris watched every penny and was a hard taskmaster. He expected high standards, but equally, was always prepared to listen if staff had personal problems, helping where he could. He was firm, kind and fair, and continued working while receiving treatment. He dramatically improved standards at the depots he ran."
Also at the event was Gary Raven, Managing Partner for Barrons Chartered Accountants, who paid tribute to accountancy professional Lyn Watson. Gary said that; "The bus industry was Lyn's passion."
"Lyn's love of life, his social nature and his sense of humour, meant he was a great friend to a lot of people. He was an easy confidante."
Both dedicated buses are in service most days and specially designed plaques help tell those on board about Chris and Lyn.
Stephensons strike Gold at UK Bus Awards.
**Stephensons of Essex is celebrating having been crowned Top Independent Operator at the UK Bus Awards 2017 held in London today.
The company took gold, fighting off competition from across the country. They also won bronze in the Bus Operator of the Year category which recognises the 'best in show' from winners across the board.
The Top Independent Operator award recognises bus companies that provide an outstanding service and is truly committed to their customers and employees.
Stephensons is the largest independent bus operator in Essex and has a significant presence in Suffolk too. The company's successful philosophy is to operate small depots with small teams of friendly drivers, delivering reliable services. They believe in minimal layers of bureaucracy, coupled with an ability to respond swiftly to opportunities where they arise.
The company also invest heavily in vehicles, route branding, their employees, technology and communication.
Mark Yexley, Chairman of the UK Bus Awards, said: "The judges were very impressed with Stephensons of Essex, they thought they set a really good example of an operator that gets the basics right and provides a good service for its customers.
"We would like to congratulate Stephensons of Essex on their achievement. Well done from everyone at the UK Bus Awards."

Bus company helps out at Danbury Open Day.
Local independent bus operator Stephensons of Essex and its Managing Director Bill Hiron lent a hand at the popular Danbury Open Gardens event earlier in the month in aid of Farleigh Hospice.
Now in its 18th year, the Open Gardens event sees over 20 local households proudly display their horticultural masterpieces, in gardens of all shapes and sizes. To link the various gardens, two free shuttle bus routes are operated, Danbury/Little Baddow loop, and a Danbury/Bicknacre loop.
Stephensons, for the second year, provided one of the routes using 'Priscilla', the company's 1986 'heritage' 16-seat Ford Transit, which started its life in Yeovil, Somerset over 30 years ago and is now in semi-retirment with Stephensons. Bill Hiron, Stephensons' Managing Director, explained "When we were approached by the organisers of the Danbury Open Gardens event, who put on such a magnificent day in aid of Farleigh Hospice, we couldn't say no. 'Priscilla' is an ideal size for the narrow lanes traversed by the shuttle bus route, and generates much interest with passengers. I was pleased to personally take charge of her for the day, and help out in aid of such a great cause".
Bus company helps celebrate 100th Birthday.
Mary Blackaby is a regular passenger on Stephensons 90 bus, travelling from her home in Witham to the town centre, often several times a day, as well as journeying to Maldon twice a week with her niece.
For her 100th birthday, as well as 115 cards, Mary was surprised to receive a bunch of flowers from the bus company, and a card signed by all the regular drivers. Stephensons Managing Director Bill Hiron explained: "Once our regular drivers found out Mary's great day was approaching, the whole team at our Maldon depot were keen to celebrate. Mary is one of our most loyal customers, and remains very independent. We were delighted to help her celebrate her special day, and we even got a lovely 'thank you' card back, which was fabulous"
Bus company donates double decker to be turned into Ipswich homeless shelter.
"It's unbelievable how a whole community can come together to get something moving." Those were the words of Gareth Brenland, of Holbrook, as he reflected on what has been achieved in the month since he announced his plans to buy a bus and convert it into a night shelter for rough sleepers in Ipswich.
Mr Brenland travelled to Haverhill to collect an out-of-service double decker that was donated by Stephensons of Essex. After hearing Mr Brenland's vision for the bus, the firm offered it to him free of charge. "I was speechless, I didn't know what to say," Mr Brenland said. All the money donated by members of the public through Mr Brenland's online appeal - which sits at more than £3,000 - will now be spent on turning the bus into a functioning shelter.
Next month Mr Brenland will open a charity shop in Upper Orwell Street, Ipswich, that will sell the bags of clothes that he has received from kind-hearted supporters since launching the project. Money made at the shop will be used on the day-to-day running of the bus hostel, and Mr Brenland said the store would double up as a drop-in centre for homeless people one day a week to get a change of clothes.
If all goes to plan, the bus will be up and running at the end of March, ready for when the Ipswich Winter Night Shelter closes. Mr Brenland, who has embarked on the venture with wife Sarah Jane and daughter Tiffany, said he never expected to receive such a warm response from the public. It really has been more than overwhelming," he added. "I don't think there's a word to describe it. "It's unbelievable how a whole community can come together to get something moving." The bus will be named Tiffers in tribute to Mr Brenland's 15-year-old daughter.

Olympian Running Day: Saturday 4th June 2016
Local Independent Bus Operator Stephensons has announced a celebration day of one of its most long-serving vehicle types to celebrate their last year in mainstream service.
The first Leyland Olympians in the UK entered service in 1981 and the last (by now a Volvo Olympian) in 2000. 10,298 were produced in total. This popular and reliable double decker has served the British (and overseas) bus industry well, and Stephensons has operated many second-hand examples over the years, with models dating from 1981 through to 1996.
Managing Director Bill Hiron explained: "These great workhorses have been trusty servants to us for over 15 years. Our buses have been both the earlier Leyland and latter Volvo chassis, with bodywork by ECW, Northern Counties and Alexander, seating ranging from 72 to 87, and engines by both Gardner and Cummins. They have operated across our whole network, from our depots at Rochford, Maldon, Boreham, Clacton and Haverhill. It seems appropriate to celebrate their passing, and at the same time raise some money for the brilliant work of the East Anglian Air Ambulance. Our buses cover millions of miles on the roads of Essex and Suffolk each year, and since the Air Ambulance plays a key role in dealing with casualties on the road network, it is only right that we support their work".
Ten Olympian buses remain in the fleet, although some of these are in reserve to cover for short notice/emergency requirements.
From 1st January 2017 the requirement for double decker buses used on scheduled services to comply with PSVAR disability regulations means that, by then, these fine workhorses will finally be withdrawn from the fleet.
To celebrate their loyal service, the bus company is organising a 'running day' on Saturday 4th June 2016 based on their routes in West Suffolk , from Bury St Edmunds to Haverhill (14/15) and from Bury St Edmunds to Mildenhall & Newmarket (16). There are rail stations at both Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket, and Stagecoach buses from Cambridge to Haverhill, allowing easy access from points further afield.
It is planned that some of the firm's remaining Olympians will operate all departures on these routes on that day meaning up to five will be in service.
Normal fares will apply on the day – for those who wish to travel on several buses/routes, and break the day with refreshments at one of the many local coffee shops, cafes or pubs, our £8 Day Ticket – valid for unlimited travel – is available from bus drivers on the day. However, there will also be an advance purchase option (through the website) for £12 to include the day ticket, a bus graph showing planned workings on the day, full timetables for the two routes, and a brief history of the buses which we hope to be running.
£1 from every Day Ticket sold (whether in advance or on the day) will go to Stephensons' local charity, the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
Further details will be available from this website from 1st April 2016.
More buses for Halstead!!!
Just two months after taking over a number of routes in the Braintree area, Essex-based Stephensons has announced an increase in frequency for residents of Halstead and Gosfield.
Already, seven new single-decker buses have entered service at Stephenson's new Braintree depot which opened in November, and twelve additional staff have been recruited to work the majority of operations, which it has taken over following the recent closure of its depot and withdrawal of a number of routes by First Group.
Stephensons quickly stepped in to save most of the services withdrawn and Managing Director Bill Hiron explained... "Setting up the new operation all had to be done at relatively short notice, and by juggling resources from within our existing fleet. Whilst we were able to operate a 30 minute daytime frequency, as before, between Witham and Bocking via Braintree, we were only able to continue hourly to Halstead. However, I'm delighted that we are now able to operate half-hourly along the whole route from 1st February, providing a much improved service for customers in Halstead, Gosfield, and parts of Bocking. An additional brand new bus in the smart 'Three Rivers' brand is being delivered shortly to operate this enhanced service."
Established in the 1970s, Stephensons of Essex remains privately owned, and is the largest independent bus operator in Essex, operating 100 buses from depots in Rochford, Maldon, Boreham and Braintree in Essex, and Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. The company continually invests in modern, environmentally friendly vehicles in order to provide the highest standards of passenger comfort.
Stephensons crying "Wolf!"?
'Our Bury St Edmunds Business Improvement District' recently launched the 'Wolf Trail'. The wolf has a place in the folklore of the town linked to the legend of St Edmund. 18 local artists were commissioned to produce 26 "images" of wolves with over 20 being life sized sculptures/models. These wolves are located within prominent public places and buildings around the town centre and there is a competition to find all 26 with prizes for some of those who do find them all. One of 26 pieces of wolf related art is a large book (which also houses a bird box) and has written within its pages the "Legend of St Edmund".
Stephensons are very proud to support the scheme and are sponsoring one of the 26 unique wolf pieces. If you go searching for all of the wolves, you will be able to identity which one Stephensons is sponsoring by the plaque displayed next to it with our name. This wolf can also be viewed on the Wolf Trail website (www.ourburystedmunds.com/wolftrail). You can also access information for all Stephensons services from the link on that website back to the Stephensons one. (We can exclusively reveal one of the wolves from the collection is located within the bus station if you were thinking of hunting them all down. Can you find the other 25 though?)
The wolf trail in Bury St Edmunds town centre commenced on the 20th July and runs through to November 20th (St Edmunds Day). On the 20th November all of the 26 wolves will be auctioned off and the proceeds will to go charity.
Local Independant steps in to save service
Sir David Amess MP joined local councillors, members of the Southend Area Bus User Group, and representatives from Southend Borough Council last week to launch a new bus service in Leigh-on-Sea. Stephensons of Essex, the Essex-based independent bus company, are stepping in to replace a vital shoppers' bus being withdrawn by a major operator. The new bus started on Friday August 21st and will run every Tuesday and Friday, with four trips each way.
Stephensons' MD Bill Hiron explained:
"When we heard that the existing operator were dropping the 6A between Leigh and Belfairs, we decided to step in and see if we could make the route more successful, as we have done with our bus 17 between Southend, Chalkwell and Leigh. Although we won't run as many times a day, our bus will still give plenty of opportunities to get to Leigh for shopping, to visit the Library or the Old Town. To answer regular calls for a better service from The Fairway and Belgrave Road, the bus will also continue to those areas"
At the launch, Sir David Amess praised Stephensons as 'the best independent bus operator in the country' and thanked them for stepping in.
Bill Hiron continued:
"This is the commercial market responding to customer needs. This sort of initiative, and indeed operators like Stephensons all across the country, are likely to lose their businesses and their livelihood as part of the current proposals for re-regulation in some parts of England, with a worse deal for customers, and a huge risk to the public purse."
Established in the early 1970s, Stephensons now operates over 90 buses across Essex and west Suffolk, providing employment for over 120 staff.
Bill Hiron Elected 2015 President of Confederation of Passenger Transport UK
The Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) UK, of which Stephensons are active members is recognised by Government as the voice of the bus and coach industry, and the focus for consultation on national and international legislation, local regulations, operational practices and engineering standards.
Members range from the largest multi-national transport operators, to the smallest family business.
Bill Hiron, Managing Director of Stephensons of Essex, said "I'm delighted to have been elected CPT President for 2015, a role I take on officially in January. This is an honour for me, but also an indication of the standing of Stephensons and our team within the industry and with our stakeholders."
Local company invests over £1/2m in new buses
Highly successful Essex-based operator Stephensons has continued its programme of regular investment in high-quality new vehicles with a further trio just delivered from Alexander Dennis, representing a total spend in excess of £500m.
Adding to similar vehicles already in stock, this year's pair of new 75-seater Enviro400 bodied Scania N230UDs are to an enhanced specification, offering high-backed seats for rail replacement work, which is regularly undertaken across Essex and beyond.
Completing the new trio is a single Enviro200 Dart midibus, which brings the tally of new buses bought to 21 since 2010. With 25% of the fleet renewed in just four years, the latest arrivals further reduce the age profile of this increasingly modern fleet to 10.2 years overall (or just 8.7 years, excluding vehicles used solely on schools work).
Managing Director Bill Hiron said "these buses further increase the reach of new, step-free DDA-compliant vehicles to 'clean and green' Euro5 standard, across our fleet".
He added "A proportion of our business is schools related, so may involve operation only at peak times for 190 days a year. Therefore high quality used vehicles, suitably refurbished, are part of our strategy". Scania low-floor chassis are a feature here also, as step-entrance double-deckers are progressively phased out.
The double-deckers are to be based at the depot at Rochford, near Southend and will be used on a mix of local bus, schools and rail replacement work. The Enviro Dart is for Boreham depot, near Chelmsford, to serve mid and north Essex.
As with all other deliveries, moquette seats continue to feature as standard across the Stephensons fleet, as this has been proven to give customers a more comfortable, welcoming and quieter environment.
Stephensons is the largest independent operator in Essex, with a fleet of 89 vehicles in its bright and fresh green and white livery, operating from depots across Essex as well as Suffolk.
If you require further information on any press releases, please phone 01702 541511, fax 01702 549461 or email us and one of our friendly team will be pleased to help.

Chinese Astrology in Matchmaking
Somewhere around the world, there two pairs of people that have an attraction towards each other regardless of their financial status, background, religion and race. As love is as crucial as all our basic needs are, it is important to search for a perfect partner. To aid you in finding the perfect love partner, there are some Chinese astrology with their traits of personality.
The "Rat" in Chinese Astrology
Rat is the first ever sign in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, the personalities linked to them are typically associated with the sneaky animals. If you have a colleague who is intelligent and who has the ability to think fast, it is amongst the signs that your potential partner will be a rat.
Their other traits in this Chinese astrology sign consist of possessing a charming personality, ability to socialize and adapt to situations. They are a reasonable choice for the individuals you love being on the limelight of all the social interactions. People who are rats are artistic and you may discover their affection equipped with witty and creative expressions. If you are born beneath the Dragon year or monkey, then your compatibility with the Rat is the highest.
The Tiger in Chinese Astrology
The main characteristics of a Tiger in Chinese astrology are ambitious and courageous. This zodiac sign is famous for their perfect qualities and that makes them standout from the rest. They are very much energetic and confident on whatever they do, be it work, hobbies or sport. They love enthusiastic people. You will always have a mutual understanding with them and arguments are less likely to happen, as opposed to say getting a tarot reading online, for instance.
Dragons are one of the most powerful signs in the Zodiac in accordance with a Hispanic site. They are also the most aggressive and expressive lovers. The question comes that whether it is possible for you to handle a Dragon. They are always filled with strength and vitality and majority of them are successful in the sports, corporate world and business. They are known as high flyers and their optimism proves their success. They are even romantic by nature and they can love a lot. If you wish for a Dragon, then be really careful with their heart as they are fragile.
According to Daily Horoscope, if you consider dating a Horse, they have the ability to be loyal. You just have to be honest and faithful to a Horse and you will get their loyalty in return. They are adaptable individuals who can be a perfect asset for any sort of social gathering.
They even have intelligence. Therefore, if you love witty and smart antics, then they are the best for you. If your love gets challenged somehow, then they are courageous enough to fight for whatever they think is right. They are ambitious and adventure lovers. They are even strong at spotting out opportunities. A Horse in Chinese astrology does anything they can for love and this makes them an ideal choice as a life partner.

Here's Gohan helping me out in the kitchen. When I was his age, my mother also allows me to do some small stuffs in the kitchen. I guess that's why I have this heart for cooking...

At the Chester & Ellesmere Port Table Tennis league finals night Shaun Hall duly retained his men's singles title but he was made to work exceptional hard against determined opponents. He faced fellow Newton club colleague Joe Killoran in the semis, a player who recently won a National level 4 tournament, and the two produced a great hitting spectacle before Shaun won 3 games to 1. In the other semi former league champion Simon Jones of Pulford faced the many times County champion Malcolm McEvoy but found the spin game that had defeated talented Aaron Beech in the quarters was largely negated by McEvoy and the Barrow player went through again 3 1. A hard hitting final followed between two experienced and talented players but it was Shaun who took the match and the title once again and it was well deserved.
Beech and Killoran duly took the men's doubles title and Simon Jones bounced back to win the Veterans final from Cheshire County player Ken Connor in another match of high quality. Ray Worthington retained his over 60s title at the expense of Pulfords Mike Phelan.
Lynsey Pellew- Nabbs retained her ladies title and teamed up once again with Keith Bartlett to win the mixed for the second year in succession.
