You have not opened up the tower yet? It`s not like you to be shy of the unknown.
I dare not do that before knowing for sure it's not jetting. Rode two hours to test a modified shock and it ran consistently the whole time. I'll know more with more ride time.
Don't S'pose it's the rings setting' in ?
I have a new 2017 GG 250 with a Dell'Orto PHBL 26. It had a 120 main, 35 pilot, 60 start, D36 needle with clip in the middle. I lowered the needle one clip and adjusted the fuel-air screw (which is is on the Dell'Orto? I read it was fuel not air like a Keihin) to 3.5 turns out. I'm at 5,000 ft, burning a mix of pump and race fuel. I have new jets on order: leaner mains and pilots bracketing the stock 35 with leaner and richer.
It starts easily on the choke when cold. When the engine has been dead for several minutes it requires choke to re-start. Power is smooth and soft but not crisp like a properly jetted 2 stroke should be. It just doesn't have that bark to it.
You need a 118 main (115 maybe) and a 38 - 40 pilot jet.
No. That idea is from the old days when manufacturing practices weren't so precise.
With modern Nikasil cylinders, if they breathe clean air in their lifetimes (real foam filter liquid oil, sticky to the touch), there will be no rider-discernable difference in compression between first startup and 3 decades later. There isn't on my Fantic with Gilardoni Nikasil cylinder.
Lineaway is saving you, Yard Sale, from a classic mistake, the crying shame of a leaner low-speed at altitude.
That sentence pretty much sums me up .
I resolved my jetting with elevated technology smart carb and bike is running so crisp and linear
That stupid keihin drive me crazy!
I rode a 300 GasGas with Smartcarb in '16. It worked well. I'll check it out some more, thanks.
Hmmm after lineaway's post in the sparky thread I cracked open the float bowl on the new to me 16 ST300. 48 low speed low jet, which I believe is stock.
At 8000ft it feels like it should have better pull off bottom, I need to slip the clutch to keep the front wheel up on really grippy steep ledges. I definitely prefer underpowered (adequately powered) and it seems like the 300 should have no problems hefting my 200lbs.
I'll pop in a 55 and see where it gets me. The mid and top on it is pretty spunky so no worries there, throttle response across the range is good.
If you bump the low speed from 48 to between 52 and 55 without adjusting the main jet I suspect you will find it runs a bit ritch at 8000... just a suspicion though.
Unless you already have...
hmm might just go to a 50 then. So much for one thing at a time eh?
Ya... the comment was because I experimented when I did my wife's bike. When I increased the low jet without dropping the main it was rich and I didn't even go trail ride yet so my altitude hadn't changed. So had to drop the main jet and the needle to get it running correctly before it even hit the trail.
Rode for an hour or two and it seemed pretty good, better than before for sure. Maybe a plug chop would show different but ive never done one of those in my life, the concept seems ridiculous and wasteful so i just tune for throttle response.
Thanks for the tips and this thread motobene, very helpful!
I'm wondering what the Honda and Vertigo owners do with all their extra time...?
They work on clogged fuel filters and broken frames.
I don't know about the others, but I am riding when I could be jetting. Life is too short for wrestling with stinky carbs.
The never-ending patience and skill you guys apply to carbs is admirable though.
Viva Montesa (and Vertigo)
Back when the technology of ski boots was changing rapidly, the saying went "Are you still lacing while others are racing ?"
I have some time on my hands so I can reply in some detail. I'm sitting in an orthopedic hospital waiting room while my spunky wife gets hip replacement #2. After healing, no more excuses for not riding events
Yes, I'm picky. Being SO sensitive to machines, fortunate for me also comes with a joy for tweaking. I'd rather be riding and perhaps perversely, wrenching
It's SO easy to work on many trials bikes that I can tolerate multiple iterations without frustration. Dual sports and especially road bikes... yeech!
New Sherco, GasGas, etc take me about 10 minutes at a relaxed pace to pull, mod, and replace the carb to start a test ride.
On 80% of all Keihin 2 strokes I go to up 4 to 8 on the low-speed circuit to typically 52 to 55.
The 52 or 55 decision is based on where the bike 'asks for' the air screw to be during the first test ride. If the bike runs best with the air screw half a turn out or less, I go right to a 55. And yes, I drop the main to 120 so as not to mess up the overall results.
I ride it as is and check where the air screw is. How many turns to touching at full in? I count by half turns, three being 1-1/2 turns out, for example.
I play with extremes. The bike should die when I close the air screw. If not, I know the low-speed mixture is very lean.
I turn the air screw 1-1/2 turns out and double check the idle. Sometimes riders lower the idle on a lean or lean-and-pinging bike, or raise the idle to compensate for a bike that is too rich on bottom.
I screw the air screw in to where the idle drops. That right where the low-speed mixture goes too rich of ideal. I open back up a quarter turn, then count the turns in and record that.
I check loaded performance by riding with both brakes on in the lower third of rpm with more throttle. A lean-running bike will sound and feel 'soft' and may even bog or stall easily. A too-rich bike will be OK on power but sound 'poppy' and will start to four stroke fairly quickly when the throttle backed off.
I check needle position. If it is in the middle three slots I pull the carb off to re jet it. If the clip is in an extreme position, I put the clip in the middle slot then re test the bike, noting the loaded response.
To remove and replace needle clips And lay the needle on a flat surface with a cloth or towel or firm rubber pad on the surface. Cover the clip with thumb and index finger so it doesn't 'dink' into another universe when you push down on the needle to pop the clip off or push it on. Make sure the clip pops fully home when you push it back on.
I'll note the needle clip position. I prefer to re jet bikes not yet messed with because inexperienced wrenchers can do silly things to carburetors!
test rides are critical to knowing what direction and how much in a direction to go and if there will be departures from normal patterns. Jetting is as much a from-to process as it is following recipes and patterns. I care less about where the numbers are or end up than I do about results.
There are definitely patterns, but not all bikes follow a tight pattern.
Sometimes carburetors are just messed up and the inexperienced tuner can get in a tail-chasing swirl of re jetting. Just yesterday...
I was texted by a desperate person preparing two bikes for a National. Subject bike was a NEW Scorpa 125 Factory. From the multiple jetting iterations described I ended up prescribing a carb swap off the second bike, a Sherco 300, as I suspected a bad Keihin. Some time elapsed then came this text: Swapped carb. It works (scream)!
I the advised getting a warranty carb from RYP at the National to avoid more tail chasing.
The lesson is to know when to stop trying to jet your way around non-jetting-related problem. The fastest way to do that is the carb swap as 125 through 300, the jetting is almost the same.
Back to test ride results and re jetting direction and magnitude. If a bike asks for half a turn or less out on the air screw, I'll go right to a 55 low-speed jet and 120 main. If it's 1 to 1-1/2 turns out I'll fit a 52.
And what is this 'asking for' business regarding the air screw? The right turns out is somewhere between where idle drops when you turn the screw in, and where the bike will bog slightly when the throttle is snapped full open very fast.
I do the fast throttle-opening test while stopped. I use both hands flat on the throttle grip, then I pull both arms apart fast, opening the throttle full very fast. I let the throttle flick shut on its own fast right after the rpm zooms up. I look for quick response with no bogging and especially no pinging. Just a clean rev-up without bogging or blubbering (accumulated oil down in the crank should already have been slung out and burned off.
I re test and iterate as needed.
These bikes are very sensitive to needle-clip position. You can feel, hopefully, a move of one slot. With heavy loading from low-to-mid rpms while riding, with any bogging and soft response, lower the clip one position (richer mid). With some 'dirtiness' and excess 4 stroking when backing the throttle off from a load, move the needle clip up one position (leaner mid).
Re test and iterate as necessary.
Then I get bikes like my 250 that only let me go up 4 on the low-speed jet, so I can't get as much loaded power as I like while avoiding 4 stroking at low load and when backing off from a moderate load.
A touch of four stroking in putt putt mode is fine, but more than a bit is a no-go for me. With my '17 I can't go richer than 48 from the stock 42, so I don't have quite as much grunt as I had with my '16 250 with 55 low-speed jet. Yet the 48 is what the '17 bike asks for, so that's what it gets.
Some bikes would be better off with a needle profile other than the JJH, the standard needle most bikes comes with.
I've needed with most outlier biked a larger diameter big end at the start of the needle taper to have the larger low-speed jet to increase power, while reducing four stroking when backing off from loadings. I've got the Keihin chart at home. Will study later....
Very informative post, Motobene. Thank you.
Is it possible to explain "4 stroking"? I've heard the term on the KDX forum.

Squirreling Around
Tuesday 10 February 2015 — Category: Shooting
western gray squirrel about two or three feet up a basketball pole, hanging on for dear life. He was in a position similar to the one shown in the photo to the right (which I took later), but it looked very strange to see him trying to hold on to a black metal pole instead of a tree.
No doubt its nut-sized squirrel brain was surprised and puzzled by his lack of grip on this bizarre black "tree." After quickly but carefully considering his options, he slid backwards down the pole until he was once again on terra firma. Then the race was on! I ran across the living room to grab my wife's camera, while the squirrel ran across the backyard to the tree in the photo.
As I was heading back to the window, I called to my thirteen-year-old daughter Olivia, who was homeschooling down the hall, to come quickly for a natural science lesson. Together, we were entertained as we watched the squirrel squirreling around in our backyard.
Once up on the side fence, the squirrel started racing along the top towards the front of the house, with short bursts of speed, and then short pauses in between. Olivia and I had to race from one room to another to keep up with him! Once I had caught up to him, I barely had time to take a picture before he was off again. In some of the shots only part of his body is showing, and numerous times I didn't even bother to press the shutter release because he was already gone.
After making it to the very front corner of the fence and enjoying the view (see third photo), the squirrel quickly retraced his steps, ran down the tree, then towards the house, stood up on his hind legs in front of the sliding glass door and peeked into our kitchen, and then ran back to the tree. Whew! We were getting dizzy just trying to keep up with him!
Out of the 12 photos I managed to take, I'm presenting four of the best as the inaugural images for the second annual Homemade Images 2015 album. But I have to warn you that the image quality is not a good as I would have liked. There are a few reasons for that.
First of all, the Sony DSC-HX20V pocket camera I was using does not capture RAW images. Second, its image sensor is quite small. Third, the double-paned glass windows I was shooting through definitely degrade the image quality by making it impossible to achieve a sharp focus. Finally, it was cloudy outside, so the camera chose high ISO settings to compensate for the low light.
Despite these handicaps, I'm still fairly pleased with how the final images turned out. They are definitely not perfect, but do they capture some of the fun my daughter and I had as we were squirreling around one day.
This has already been a good year for wildlife photos, and it is not even mid-February yet! You can see all 45 images in the Wildlife 2015 album.

White House Raises Petition Signature Minimum
White House Raises Petition Signature Minimum
It will now take at least 100,000 signatures to get an official White House response to your crazy idea.
I was surprised to learn that the recent petition calling upon the U.S. government to build a Death Star only required 25,000 signatures to get an official response. In terms of supporting crazy ideas on the internet, after all, 25,000 signatures is nothing. It's the equivalent of an official Half-Life 3 Kickstarter with a goal of fifty bucks. It can't miss.
But it took the White House a little while to catch on. "When we launched We the People, none of us knew how popular it would be, but it's exceeded our wildest expectations. Through the past year, interest in We the People exploded and we're closing in on 10 million signatures," White House Director of Digital Strategy Macon Phillips wrote.
"When we first raised the threshold - from 5,000 to 25,000 - we called it 'a good problem to have.' Turns out that 'good problem' is only getting better, so we're making another adjustment to ensure we're able to continue to give the most popular ideas the time they deserve," he continued. "Starting today, as we move into a second term, petitions must receive 100,000 signatures in 30 days in order to receive an official response from the Obama Administration. This new threshold applies only to petitions created from this point forward and is not retroactively applied to ones that already exist."
In the last two months of 2012, roughly 73,000 petitions were created, attracting 4.9 million signatures. Among those that have passed the 25,000 signature mark are petitions calling for the Westboro Baptist Church to be recognized as a hate group, a recount of the last election and a repeal of Obamacare. Petitions both for and against a ban on guns, Piers Morgan and Senator Diane Feinstein, and one demanding the minting of a platinum trillion-dollar coin, are also doing well.
Source: White House
It saddens to me to think how many great yet not as popular ideas out there that will never be read because people have nothing better to do then troll the government.
Looks like they're gunna have to restart the Westboro petition.
We need more petitions like that. I couldn't vote on them, but the US really need zeppelin/blimp aircraft/drone carriers. It is crucial for their defense and yet they haven't built any new ones!
No worries, they're working on it.
Well recently they did get a start on developing a new generation of blimps for bulk transport.
Its a start.
Just trying to get around having to build a Death Star those lousy govs!
Uh, they're totally working on new, improved blimps. Although blimp aircraft carriers... that's just silly.
EDIT: damn you, giga!
People who support the trillion dollar coin, please learn how inflation and the money supply work. I doubt you'd be happy with the effect that coin would have.
blimps and balloons are cheap, can be unmanned, require little to no fuel and can take a surprising amount of damage before being downed, making them optimal for long range surveillance of dangerous terrain.
airships are a personal interest of mine and yes they can take a suprising amount of damage and from tests can take many rpg and mortar rounds passing through the envelope which causes a slow deflation, slow enough for them to safely land.
as for the use of them, you have the potential of an unmanned platform staying on station providing surveillance for months at a time, they also excel in heavy lift. . speed and cargo capacity they are faster than ships but carry less, but can carry far more than planes but are slower.
How can you be against a ban on guns in the U.S.? There is no ban on guns in the U.S.! If there was, people wouldn't have had to suffer [insert tragedy here].
I still hope they address the ban on kinder surprise eggs :P
Indeed they are, I still dispute them being crucial for defense purpose but I guess that's taking us into a topic that is probably in no way relateable to the news story and thusly can only result in problems for us.
This doesn't surprise me. Online petitions have become HUGE and really do gain traction now. They are doing this to cut down on the amount of petitions they will need to review.
Between this and "congress should fund research into the effects that violent videogames have on young minds" the current administration has proven it knows precisely nothing about how the Internet and new media in general work.
Guffaw'd at the one calling for a ban on Piers Morgan. Hah.
Nerds ruin everything.
What, just because of the deathstar thing?
The death star may have been rejected and prompted a higher bar of entry, but when we bring to them 100,000 signatures for a star destroyer, they'll have no choice but to submit!
yep. lets ignore the important but not as loud ideas just because there are some fools that shout loudly. this is the worst move this site ever did. i understand you cant answer everyone, but really were they that much overworked answering petition once a week?
Bloody Piers Morgan petitions. Now the UK is going to have to create a counter petition just to keep him from coming back.
I have no idea how it was relevant to the news story, but I'm going to weigh in too. My understanding is that balloons are unpopular for military purposes, just because they are so damn awkward to control in harsh weather. Lots of money sank into dirigibles throughout the 20th Century ended with a crashing airship.
If he comes back here we'll just have to send him to one of the other colonies. How about India or Pakistan?
It seems that the US Government really doesn'tunderstand the interwebs. I'm fairly sure there are more than 100,000 trolls out there and this will just bait them. How long until the ballads of Rick Astley become the national anthem?

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has inducted two Boeing 737-800 aircraft on wet lease into its fleet, giving its capacity on shorter routes within the country and to the Middle East region a much-need boost, the carrier said on Thursday.
Two more of these narrow-body aircraft will join PIA's ageing fleet by end of the month. The aircraft have been inducted on a lease of three months, buying the airline enough time before it leases a further 10 aircraft on a longer dry lease.
"Someone should have thought about inducting narrow body aircraft 2-3 years back," said Junaid Yunus, PIA's Managing Director (MD). "Fifty percent of our existing fleet is not fuel efficient. The result is that we are operating 777s on shorter routes."
PIA's management has struggled for months to convince the government, which owns a majority stake in the national carrier, to let it lease planes. Out of a fleet of 30 aircraft, the airline is only using 24 due to lack of funds for the repairs.
The cost difference between new-generation B-737s and PIA's existing planes is large. "An A-310 consumes 5,300 kilogrammes (kg) of fuel during a flight between Karachi and Islamabad. A B 737-800 consumes just 2,400kg. Even if lease payment is factored in, there are still savings of 30% to 35%."
The planes have been leased from Corendon Airlines, of Turkey. The two other planes on damp Lease will come from Travel Services, of the Czech Republic.
A PIA statement quoted Chairman PIA, Muhammad Ali Gardezi, these fuel-efficient aircraft will be deployed on Gulf routes and major domestic routes, he said.
The Boeing 737-800 has a capacity of 189 seats and will be operated with an all-economy configuration. With the increased fleet size, the airline will offer flights to new destinations while increasing frequencies of flights on its profitable routes.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) allows airlines to induct aircraft on wet or damp leases. In a wet lease, the aircraft's cockpit and cabin crew is arranged by the lessor who also pays for the insurance and maintenance of the plane.

Working with NDF fields was such a great experience! I asked him last minute and he was able to make it, we showed the video of our wedding at a reception we had for our family when we came home and everyone said it was the best wedding video they had ever seen! After posting it on Facebook I even had someone I don't know comment that it was so beautiful it made them cry! He provided us with a short highlight video and a video of the whole wedding, it was perfect!Sent on 06/15/2015

A must have for weddings!
Nelson and NDF FIlms was fantastic. I was on the fence about hiring a videographer, but so happy that my wife convinced me to get one. After re-living our wedding with the videos that Nelson and his team created, its absolutely a no-brainer. His team is professional, attentive to our needs, easy to work with and never felt like the cameras were in the way. We are so happy with the way the wedding videos were edited and turned out. He captured the emotion of our special day and now we will be able to relive this whenever we want. Grateful to Nelson and his team. Would recommend over and over again!Sent on 06/19/2019

So worth it!
I was debating if I should include videos for my wedding because we have already gone over the budget. So glad we chose the NDF films. Nelson and his team are extremely professional and efficient. The price is reasonable, and the finished work is such a fine piece of art. It brings back beautiful memories everytime when we watch it. Many of my friends say our wedding highlights is like a real movie. The scene was cut to match the songs seamlessly. The drone shots are very cool as well. Overall, very happy with their service and work.Sent on 11/11/2018

Amazing Service!
First of all if you are doubting if you should hire a videographer let me stop you. YOU SHOULD! Nelson did an AMAZING JOB. Both the "coming soon", "highlight video" and complete video were absolutely amazing. I cried every time I saw them, even family and friends, and I saw the videos multiple multiple times :) His editing style looked as if you were watching a movie, effects were incredible. The day of the wedding he made you feel very relaxed, not posed or anything like that, he would mainly be more in the background capturing those special moments. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely chose NDF Films. Very professional service.Sent on 10/15/2018

Wedding Video of my Dreams!
The wedding video is something that many people question whether they should go for. After my experience with NDF films I would recommend them to EVERYONE! Their prices are very reasonable. They respond very quickly to emails. They come up with creative ideas. On the day of the wedding they were so gentle and unobtrusive. I felt like I was personally taken care of. The wedding video has melted my heart. It captures details that even though only a couple of months had passed, we had just forgotten. It really goes beyond pictures. Of course the video wouldn't be worth it if it were bad quality but Nelson and Sandra are incredibly talented. We were very impressed with the video, we can't stop watching it! You will never regret hiring NDF films.Sent on 11/13/2018

My wife Shanell and myself just came back from a designation wedding in Puerto Rico in June and she hired NDF Films to videotape our wedding. I was apprehensive at first stating why do we need to get a videographer when we already are paying for a photographer. Man was I so wrong in my thinking. I was truly blown away by NDF Films professionalism, attention to detail and time capturing expertize. NDF Films made my wife and myself feel at home and at ease with videotaping our wedding experience. We wanted to hire someone that would capture our day in every detail that we could think of, from when we were both getting ready, to the wedding and of course the reception. NDF Films went above and beyond by making sure they got every small detail to make our day memorable and enjoyable. NDF Films even stayed after to make sure they got more reception moments as we were all in the moment. Hands down if you need a top notch professional videographer that will capture and make your wedding memorable and epic, I would highly suggest hiring NDF Films. You will not be disappointed, trust me!! NDF Films firmly made a believer of their top notch service!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you again for making our wedding the best wedding ever!!!Sent on 08/14/2018

We will never get tired of it.Sent on 09/11/2018
We live in NYC and had our destination wedding at the beautiful Villa Montaña in Isabela, PR. At first we were a bit hesitant to hire a videographer, especially from so far away. However, as soon as we came across NDF's work, we knew we had to!! We couldn't be happier with our decision.
Not only did the NDF team capture gorgeous footage of our day, but they edited it into a cohesive yet simple storyline, and paired with the perfect music! The end result was elegant and uplifting. We even had a friend tell us our video looked like a finale from a romance film because it was so well done.
I would recommend NDF a thousand times over- it's truly worth the value and
If you hire them rest assured you are in great hands- Nelson had a strong vision from the beginning and was easy to work with....his team truly did all the work!!
If you want a beautiful film of your wedding or event, we absolutely recommend hiring NDF!!

I can't say enough great things about Nelson and his team! From the beginning I wanted a videographer but my husband wasn't completely on board. Our wedding planner sent us Nelson's information, we looked at his website and started to get excited. Nelson took the time to have a call with us and discuss our wants and needs. We signed on immediately. We loved working with Nelson and his team. They were fun and made us feel completely comfortable. After a while we forgot they were even there. I can't tell you how thrilled we were when we received first the highlight video. This far exceeded any expectation we had. I found myself smiling. I shared the highlight on Facebook and everyone commented about how amazing the footage was. I would highly recommend the drone!!! It was so cool having the drone fly over our ceremony. When we received the final video, my husband and I sat down to watch it. It was 45 minutes long and captured everything we had asked for and more. We both laughed, cried and remembered how blessed we were on that day. I highly recommend Nelson and his team. We will forever remember the most important day of our lives.

Everyone has mixed opinions about hiring a videographer for a wedding, but I am so glad my husband (reluctantly) and I decided to hire one because NDF Films was one of the best vendor choices we made. NDF did exactly as we asked and captured our night perfectly. Pictures are beautiful, but to really relieve your special night, a video is necessary.

NDF Films is an outstanding filmmaker; I highly recommend them! We did the Package 2 High Definition with an additional videographer for a drone. Nelson and his team showed up to our hotel EARLY and began working immediately. They were professional, precise and diligent throughout the entire day. I had great communication with Nelson and Sandra throughout the whole process - from signing the contract, to effective online questionnaires, quick email responses and amazing turnaround times for any video edits I requested. During the reception, the MC reversed the names for our parents and Nelson was able to edit the video so it was said correctly - this meant so much to my husband and I. The MC also played the wrong version for our first dance song and Nelson corrected that too in the video! He did his absolute best to make sure everything was perfect. NDF Films refers to themselves as "storytellers" and that is definitely who they are - how they edited the footage and captured the heart of our wedding day in a 3 minute tear-jerking wedding highlight video was exceptional. What is also unheard-of, is that NDF Films was able to deliver this remarkable production after experiencing the worst natural disaster in Puerto Rico and without electricity for over 100 days. Thank you so much NDF Films for telling my wedding story. If you are planning a destination wedding and want one less thing to worry about, hire NDF Films, they are perfection!Sent on 01/11/2018

It is above and beyond your traditional videographer. We also felt that their pricing was extremely fair considering the quality of video you receive. Thanks again Nelson!Sent on 08/31/2017

What can I say about this company besides WOW! What they created for me and my husband was priceless. Every moment was captured so beautifully. They are the very best in the business and if you want top quality, professionalism, and perfection NDF should be your choice. After checking out their blog I knew I had to choose them and I'm so glad I did!Sent on 04/04/2017

We contracted NDF films in late 2015 for our destination wedding in September 2016. Originally, we did not plan on contracting a videographer; however, after reviewing NDF's website we knew that our wedding wouldn't be complete without a high quality video. We met Nelson in person in March 2016 and was impressed with his professionalism. On the day of our wedding, Nelson and his assistant arrived and started filming. After a few moments, we forgot that they were there. NDF films even used a drone to capture aerial footage of our outside beach wedding. Hiring a wedding videographer was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process.Sent on 10/25/2016

We used Nelson and his staff for our wedding and we are soo glad we did. His work is absolutely amazing. A wedding is one of the most important days of someone's life, and to be able to relive it by watching a video is unbelievable. He sent us a questionnaire before the wedding where you can be very specific if there are any moments that you really want him to capture and it's great to have that communication to make it very personal. He also asked us for a few songs to add to the video and he did a great job incorporating them. I was mostly impressed with the video quality. It makes you feel like you are in the video. Everyone's reaction to watching the videos including ourselves were either speechless or eyes tearing. Those are amazing reactions and extremely worth it. You will be very pleased with Nelson's work. You will want to watch your videos over and over again.Sent on 02/04/2017

Nelson And his team did a phenomenal job! My wedding video came out beautiful! It's such a beautiful memory to have and I am so thankful for Nelson and how he made it so great. I would recommend him again and again. When he sent me my video I made a few changes and he was quick and made all the changes I wanted. I am in love with our video and I have to thank Nelson for that!Sent on 12/11/2016

Nelson and his team were absolutely amazing to work with!!! They were one of our first vendors we booked and were incredible flexible with us during the planning process. They covered our rehearsal dinner and wedding and the entire time they were nothing but professional and now seeing the videos I can't believe it but they were literally everywhere and I don't remember seeing them but they truly capture EVERY part of your special day. We could not be happier with our videos and now we are lucky enough to be able to relive our wedding day over and over again! Thank you NDF Films you all are amazing and we would recommend you over and over again! -K&JSent on 12/11/2016

I am so, so pleased with NDF. During my wedding day, Nelson and his team were delightful to work with. They were extremely kind and friendly and also unobtrusive throughout the day. They worked well with our other vendors and coordinated appropriately so that our final product was as wonderful as it could possibly be.Sent on 06/23/2016
I couldn't believe how amazing our wedding video came out! As someone who works in the film industry in New York, I was so impressed with the cinematography and storytelling capabilities. I had researched every videographer in Puerto Rico, and NDF was hands down the most impressive. It took us a while to get through watching our wedding video because my husband could not stop crying!! We had to take breaks during the viewing! That's how incredible it was!! My entire family wept, and I felt like Nelson perfectly captured our day. He did not miss anything! And, most importantly, the feelings that the video provokes match the ones we felt that day.

text: Jennifer Kelley August 6, 2012 Jennifer Kelley August 6, 2012 Day 120! Today I celebrated being on trail for four months! We woke up at St. Mary's ready to hike. It was looking dark and dreary and we were hoping the rain would hold off, but as soon as we stepped off the road (which we walked for about a mile) and back into the woods, the rain began. It was a light drizzle, which was nice since we had to walk over some farmland at first. From here, we had a surprisingly steep climb at first. After the steepness subsided, we had a fairly easy hike up to the summit of Mt. Greylock. About 1.5 miles from the top I ran into Oracle! He's a friend of mine from home and is a SOBO this year. We stood in the drizzling rain and talked for about 20 minutes before Nokey and I headed up to Greylock. The hiking was easy and criss-crossed the road a few times before we got up top. We ran into several of our friends up top, had lunch, and talked to a ranger. By the time we got our packs on, it started raining again, this time much harder! We walked down the hill in the pouring rain and started to get cold. When we reached Mt Williams we ran into Testament who was trying to get ahead of us a bit so he could get into Williamstown to get his food drop. We hiked with him until we got to the road crossing just before MA-2 and he ran off to get his goodies. Nokey and I headed into North Adams, where just 0.7 miles away was a Chinese buffet! We ran into Chiba there and had mini reunion since we hadn't seen him since NY. Float, Rose, and Skinny Rambo also joined us as we ate and waited for Testament. We all filled up did a mini resupply before heading back up the trail 1.8 miles to the Sherman Brook campsite. The water there was the best we have had in MA, coming from a clear spring right out of the sandy bottom. We are only 2 miles from the VT border now and I can't wait to get there tomorrow. The photo is the monument on Mt. Greylock.

final REPORT COMPLAINT IN China AT FACTORY SUPPLYING Odlo
On 7 October 2013 FWF received a complaint through its local complaints handler, the complaint was related to FWF's labour standards 'reasonable hours of work' and 'payment of a living wage'.
Although management of the factory denies it, excessive overtime and issues regarding payment of a living wage was found during the latest audit in September 2013 and corroborate the findings from the plaintiff. The affiliate has put forward a proposal to the supplier to have management sit down with workers and dicuss the piece rate calculation. Given that production at this supplier is being phased out, Odlo is no longer in the position to follow up on complaint. FWF will verify affiliates' effort to analyse and set up a plan to reduce excessive overtime.Download

A product should be reliable and safe; unfortunately, this is not always the case. If you were injured because of a faulty or hazardous product, those who made the product available, such as manufactures, distributors, or retailers, are responsible for any injuries that you incurred. This is called product liability.
Our attorneys empathize with you as you cope with unexpected and numerous damages, including:
As such, our dedicated attorneys will endeavor to help you receive compensation for your injuries.
Unfortunately, seemingly reliable prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs may be the main cause in the distribution of dangerous drugs. Dangerous drugs can be the result of inaccurate drug testing or unknown long-term side effects. Prior to drugs being approved by the Federal Drug Association (FDA), drug companies are required to have their drugs undergo various tests. Unfortunately, despite undergoing different drug tests and having FDA approval, some drugs may still be quite harmful and possibly life threatening.
Your injuries may have been caused by, but not limited to, the following:
Manufacturers of products, the FDA, and drug companies are obligated to make certain that their products are reliable and safe. The following are a couple vital actions these companies should take in order to prevent such destructive items from entering the public market.

Impunity may soon be over for sports leaders who excel in corruption in Swiss-based organisations. But law changes cannot stand alone and should be followed up by governance changes, writes Arnout Geeraert in this analysis.The Swiss Parliament is currently debating changes to both the Unfair Competition Act and the Swiss Criminal Code, which would make corruption in international sports organisations a criminal offence that it is prosecuted by Swiss authorities.
Although this would constitute a major step in the fight against corruption in international sport, there still is a great deal of work to do with regard to preventing corruption in sports governing bodies.
Like multinational corporations operating on a global playing field, international sports organisations are free to choose the country with the most favourable law as the home for their operations.
Following the example of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the majority of these organisations has their headquarters in Switzerland. While the presence of the IOC and other key sports organisations provides an important impetus for an international federation to have its home base in Switzerland, the country's rather broad interpretation of the freedom of association is an even more important contributing factor.

Traffic wardens are clamping down on drivers who break a relatively unknown Highway Code rule. As part of a national crackdown, fines of £1000 are being issued to car owners, while drivers of goods vehicles can receive a penalty of £2500 for the same offence. The charge relates to parking vehicles on the street during hours of darkness, and many people are completely unaware that they are committing an offence.
What the Highway Code says
Rule 248 of the Highway Code states
'you must not park on a road at night facing against the direction of the traffic flow unless in a recognised parking space'
The rule applies to streets without marked parking bays and is designed to improve road safety as vehicles parked facing oncoming traffic are much harder to see in the dark. The reason for this is vehicles are fitted with red reflectors on the rear, which make them stand out when approached from behind. When parked facing traffic, there are no reflective surfaces showing which increases the likelihood of a collision.
So many people are unaware of the rule that when Scrap Car Comparison, a company based in Fareham, ran the story it was picked up and shared by 37 news titles, including four national newspapers. A spokesperson for Scrap Car Comparison said, "not many motorists are aware of this judging by the comments left on the websites which carried the story".

Carnesky's Ghost Train
The seminal standalone work that was Carnesky's Ghost Train haunted the borders of art and entertainment for ten years, occupying a unique space that blended artful theatrical installation with a stunning, magical fairground ride.
This work saw the birth of Marisa's company Carnesky Productions along with a methodology that encouraged collaborations between practitioners with diverse skill sets – both emergent and established. Included in this was a performer Marisa met at a filmmaking workshop called Paloma Faith and the illusionist Paul Kieve who had just finished creating the illusions for 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'.
Carnesky's Ghost Train spent 2004-2009 touring the UK and Europe. Incorporating high-end illusions, aerial flying, moving performance sets, a cast of eight and 50 metres of specially-built track, it was an expensive show to tour. "It was like touring with your own theatre venue and company and would take a week to erect each time" says Marisa Carnesky.
Blackpool Council's suggestion in 2009 that they could to take on the art piece as a permanent tourist attraction on the Golden Mile was, therefore, met with great delight. For five years the ride opened throughout the season in all winds and all weathers. Carnesky's Ghost Train went on the receive over 18,000 visitors a year proving to be a big hit not only with the thousands of holidaymakers who stumbled across it but also with those whose traveled to Blackpool especially. As well as being a popular tourist destination it provided the historic entertainment town with its only alternative performance venue. During the five-year residency Carnesky ran drama workshops for local young drama students on top of providing work for over 70 young people many of whom have gone on to work in theatre, TV, live-art and alternative cabaret.

"Carnesky's Ghost Train was an important part of my development as a performer who has the confidence to experiment and to be myself on stage."
"Even in its brevity it manages to touch on the haunting pain of real experiences in which grotesque fairytale meets 19th- and 20th-century history head on."
"Combining a cultural classy edge with a lot of enjoyable screaming, Carnesky's Ghost Train is a passionate tribute to war scattered refugee ghosts. It was a success in London and is now even better, both more serious and more fun."

Professional dancer James Jordan has said that his new Strictly Come Dancing partner Zoe Lucker has "the whole package".
Jordan claimed that he was impressed and relieved when he met the actress, who he said matches all the criteria for a successful contestant on the BBC One reality show.
"Not bad, is she? You always want someone who is relatively young, with a nice body, good-looking - I got the whole package," he told DS. "I just need to work on the dancing now and get her in the studio. We have had one training session and Zoe is extremely nervous, but I think I can work on her over the next three-and-a-half weeks."
Lucker admitted that she is a "huge fan" of the dancing contest and is "thrilled" to be competing against her former Footballers' Wives co-star Laila Rouass.
"It's perfect that I get to compete with Laila because we are both so used to working with each other on a set," she said. "We'll be able to support each other and when I saw her walk through the door this morning I was thrilled. We've always got on really well, so we'll be there for each other."
The 35-year-old also revealed that she is excited about performing in an extravagant costumes, saying: "I'm looking forward to the long flowing costumes, but I think there will be a few little Latin ones as well!"
Jordan added: "We'll get her in leotard!"
Strictly returns to BBC One on Friday, September 18.

For Kids, From Kids
"We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading." B.F. Skinner
Students at Cliff Valley School in Atlanta, GA, wanted to do something special and unique for their friends in Ghana. They decided, completely on their own, to run a school-wide book drive. Students collected over a hundred storybooks and had them shipped to Ghana. The books were donated, this past August, to two of our schools in the community of Ho. CIH's Chief of Operations, Kelvin Delali, presented the books to the staff and students, who, he reported, were enthusiastic and thankful for this unexpected gift. We are thrilled to extend our gratitude to the students, staff, and parents of Cliff Valley School for working together to cultivate a community of giving and for sharing their love of reading with others around the world.

Learners and teachers: how managers can grow productivity/
There's nothing so satisfying in business as finding a way to blast away a road block to productivity. When the same barrier - 'middle management is the weak link' - pops up in two a high profile reports around the same time, it might pay to listen. Two recent messages fit well together. The first is that middle managers, unwittingly perhaps, inhibit productivity through lacking the right skills (for more, see Australian Institute of Management report).Read More

i decided to buy char kuay teow, fried carrot cake & orh luak at soon lee. no queue at lunch time.
S$3 char kuay teow was good standard, tasty, good wok hae, and lots of hum (cockles) & ingredients, i think very good for the price la…
S$3 fried carrot cake also good, tasty, not too sweet, good ttexture of carrot cake, most important flavourful..
S$5 orh luak good too…
so though i did not expect much to begin with, i think this soon lee standard is very good for the price, assuming the serving size & taste is consistent. first time i ate here.
LKY ordered the indian rojak next stall. can't remember the price but it was not expensive & it was good too…
stall name is munazzah. this indian rojak also what i like, something i would take again next time i am here…
LKH favourite here is the S$5 nasi ayam penyet .
and it was good, chicken crispy, good taste, chilli & other condiments also good.
5 of us shared the food so got to try different dishes, but i would be happy to just have this S$5 nasi ayam penyet too.
LCM went to queue for the nasi ayam penyet.
we were seated next to the pig innard soup stall, so NCL went to get a bowl. ingredients were normal i guess, the soup base never seen before, and don't intend to see again la!

The 2014-2015 health insurance enrollment period for Obamacare, known officially as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, has been relatively quiet -- and that's a good thing!
Obamacare's topsy-turvy history
During the 2013-2014 enrollment period, just about everything that could go wrong went wrong. Regulators had to simultaneously deal with educating millions of people about a brand new health reform law that few understood, while also figuring out a way to patch what seemed like an immeasurable number of website architecture holes in the federally run marketplace exchange, Healthcare.gov. During the first two months of the 2013-2014 enrollment period, less than 400,000 total people enrolled via Obamacare's exchanges, primarily due to technical barriers.
Although enrollment figures soared in 2013-2014 once software fixes were put into place, other challenges have since arisen. For example, the Department of Health and Human Services reported in May last year that more than 8 million people had enrolled for Obamacare. Yet, between May and mid-October, some 1 million people failed to pay their bill and the HHS admitted to its own accounting goof that incorrectly inflated enrollment figures by approximately 380,000. The end result was a final enrollment figure of just 6.7 million, below the original 7 million enrollees projected by the Congressional Budget Office.
To little surprise, this year's projections offered up in mid-November by the HHS were for a much more tempered 9.1 million people to be enrolled by the end of 2015. The HHS prognostication took into account an 83% retention rate for prior members and the enrollment of 3 million to 4 million new members.
Obamacare crushes lowered enrollment targets
Although the limbo bar was set pretty high considering the Congressional Budget Office was looking for 13 million enrollees based on a Sept. 2013 forecast, Obamacare has cleanly passed the 9.1 million mark with ease -- and best of all with a few more weeks of open enrollment to go.
According to the latest enrollment statistics issued by the HHS for week nine (Jan. 10 - Jan. 16) 7,156,691 people have selected plans utilizing Healthcare.gov. Another nearly 2.3 million people have submitted an application but not firmly selected a plan. The January update from the 13 states running their own exchanges showed substantial gains from last month's update as well, with the tally reaching 2.4 million enrollees. Combined, just shy of 9.6 million people have enrolled for Obamacare thus far, more than 500,000 higher than the HHS' initial target.
Is this good news? Absolutely, if you're an insurer, hospital operator, medical device maker, drug developer, or an investor in the healthcare sector. It's always encouraging to see people not waiting until the last possible minute to enroll. It could even suggest that the individual mandate penalties, which were hiked in a big way to the greater of $325 or 2% of a person's modified adjusted gross income in 2015, are coercing stronger enrollment this year. Or, it might even signal consumers' desire to be insured!
But, celebrating too early that Obamacare is a resounding success in 2015 could leave proponents of the law disappointed. The truth of the matter is Obamacare still has three major questions that need to be answered before we can go so far as to proclaim 2015's enrollment figures as a victory.
"Will people pay?"
As I noted above, one of the biggest concerns with enrollment figures is they can be misleading. The larger issue for insurers and Obamacare as a whole is whether or not enrollees actually make their payment. Last year around 1 million people that had signed up for Obamacare wound up dropping out or having their coverage cancelled due to nonpayment.
Based on the HHS' retention rate predictions for recurring enrollees of 83%, it's not out of the question to assume that Obamacare may need to enroll closer to 11 million if it expects to stay above the 9.1 million person estimate offered up by the HHS earlier this year. This will be a figure worth closely monitoring as the year progresses.
"Did Obamacare attract enough of the right new enrollees?"
Secondly, we have to find out if Obamacare merely reenrolled a substantial number of last year's enrollees or if it managed to reach the projected 3 million to 4 million new enrollees as forecasted.
New enrollees are critical to the success of Obamacare, as they help spread the cost of medical care across a greater swath of the U.S. population, which is a pivotal component to controlling medical cost inflation in future years.
The dynamic of 2014-2015's enrollees will certainly make things interesting. The assumption would be that the sickest individuals and those who would get the biggest subsidies enrolled last year, meaning this year's enrollees were going to be a considerably tougher crowd to sway to sign up. This implies that a good chunk of the remaining unenrolled are healthier individuals, which could make a big difference in controlling medical costs over the long run. Since we as of yet don't know the make-up of plan enrollees, this would be a figure worth eyeing by as early as March.
"Are federal subsidies here to stay?"
By far the biggest unanswered question is whether or not the subsidies divvied out to more than 6 million members enrolled through Healthcare.gov will stick beyond June.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to review King vs. Burwell. This case hedges on the plaintiffs' allegations that the Affordable Care Act's language allows only states to divvy out subsidies to eligible citizens. Because 37 states essentially handed over the reins of exchange control to the federal government, a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs could immediately invalidate any future subsidy payments for eligible people that enrolled via Healthcare.gov.
On average, these subsidies helped eligible enrollees save $264 per month and reduced their premium cost to just $82. Furthermore, 87% of enrollees via Healthcare.gov receive some form of healthcare subsidy.
If the Supreme Court finds against the plaintiffs then it's unlikely Obamacare will change much, if at all. However, an unfavorable ruling would coerce the 37 piggybacked states to quickly set up their own exchanges, which my gut feeling believes wouldn't happen fast (or at all in some states with deep political differences with President Obama's healthcare reform law).
Answers are coming
The good news for investors is that answers are coming sooner rather than later for all three questions. As an investor in the healthcare sector, I'd continue to approach things very cautiously, as the Supreme Court could completely alter the dynamics of Obamacare. In other words, I'd stick to companies that have minimal Obamacare exposure in the interim.
Want an example? How about a healthcare conglomerate like Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ). Johnson & Johnson is prone to medical device and diagnostic weakness as hospitals and consumers tighten their wallets due to uncertainty ahead of the June ruling. But, because the company offers such robust growth from its high-margin pharmaceuticals business and has plenty of access to emerging markets for its medical device and diagnostic segment, I'm hardly concerned about how it'll pull through if there's a potentially unfavorable ruling from the Supreme Court.
Another idea? How about private insurance exchange operator Aon (NYSE:AON). Aon runs exchange Aon Hewitt, which has garnered some gigantic corporations, including Walgreen Boots Alliance, over the past year and change. Even if the proponents of Obamacare get an unfavorable ruling come June, it's unlikely we'd see a move by businesses away from private health exchanges. In fact, the idea of giving employees an annual subsidy and letting them shop for health insurance on their own could save businesses big bucks over the long-term, making it an idea that I anticipate will gain steam regardless of the June ruling.

AR MIPIM Future Project Award, Old and New
Lambeth Palace Library, London | Wright & Wright Architects
Clad in red clay bricks, the new Lambeth Palace Library and Archive in the grounds of the north end of Lambeth Palace gardens is elevated above any potential flooding from the adjacent Thames river. With its compact tower and public viewing platform, it also screens this part of the garden from pollution and traffic noise from the adjoining road. Lambeth Palace's collection is, apart from the Vatican's, the largest archive of religious books and manuscripts in Europe. But the way it is housed in the historic Grade I listed palace does not measure up to modern standards of archival care.
The new building sits across the great lawn remote from the old buildings which form the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It takes the form of an occupied wall which rises to a tower. Beyond its practical role as a finely tuned repository for protecting and preserving the collection, the library is conceived as a welcoming and peaceful place for study and contemplation. At the top of the library tower, the multifunctional public viewing space allows direct views across the river Thames to the UK parliamentary building – the Palace of Westminster.

text: New helium and oxygen isotope data and trace element concentrations are reported for volcanic rocks from central Iceland. Basalts that are depleted in the most incompatible trace elements possess a wide range in He-3/He-4 but most ratios are similar to or higher than those of mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB:similar to 8R(A)[1] [D.W. Graham, Noble gas geochemistry of mid-ocean ridge and ocean island basalts: characterisation of mantle source reservoirs, in: D.P. Porcelli, C.J. Ballentine, R. Wieler (Eds.), Noble gases in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Rev. Mineral. Geochem., vol. 47, 2002, pp. 247-317]). The low concentrations of helium in these rocks suggest that significant degassing has made them susceptible to contamination by low-He-3/He-4 crust, therefore all measured He-3/He-4 are considered minimum estimates for their sources. Elevated helium isotope ratios in the source of these rocks result from interaction with high-He-3/He-4 mantle. The highest oxygen isotope ratios in the depleted rocks are similar to those in melts from typical depleted upper mantle and the range of delta(18)O values is consistent with variable, limited amounts of contamination by Icelandic crust. Most of the incompatible trace element-enriched rocks possess He-3/He-4 ratios that are similar to or lower than those in MORB. These rocks were erupted close to the postulated centre of the Iceland plume. This observation contradicts models in which high-He-3/He-4 characterises the focus of mantle upwelling. A source with MORB-like He-3/He-4 ratios may also be common to other parts of the North Atlantic Igneous Province. The highest delta(18)O values in the enriched rocks are lower than those in MORB and do not appear to have been affected by interaction with low-delta(18)O Icelandic crust. Recycling of hydrothermally altered oceanic crust that has been subducted into the mantle provides a plausible mechanism for generating an O-18-poor source with the trace element and isotopic characteristics of the enriched lavas.

The was so heartwarming. Thought you might want to see.
Thanks for that. These were the men and women who fought to keep us free, and then to have this kind of welcome? Despicable.
Hats off to these and all the vets who keep us free and guarantee our liberty. What a stain on the Obama Presidency. Deservedly so.
Still money for The One's golfing and Marie Antoinette's partying — the figure these soldiers didn't vote for them and might not be around to vote in the next election.
What a grand act of civil disobedience, in the true spirit of this action, not a bunch of loonies in pink and with their professional angry faces on, but gentlemen and ladies whose determination in WWII won the battle then and swept aside the propaganda today.
Great find Keith !
The lady in the video states that it is also wrong that the public is barred from seeing the Memorial.
Ironic isn't it ?
They have also blocked the parking lot to Mt. Vernon, which is privately funded.
Did you know descendants of Geo Washington can discreetly dump their ashes on the grounds of MV? How about foiled ash depositers?
Thank you for posting this video, Keith. How wonderful to see these American heroes get recognition for their sacrifices to keep this magnificent country the home of the brave and the land of the free. They give me hope that we will overcome this repressive regime and America will prosper once again.
Left me in tears. Thanks for sharing and the calm words of wisdom from
these brave men and women are priceless. No anger or name calling
there is a lesson for those causing this on purpose but they won't sadly.
Beautiful. I hope there will be people out there defending the veterans every time a group comes and making sure they get 'in'.
Awesome, Keith. Thanks for posting this for all of us to enjoy!
God bless the vets.
Shame on the feds.
I am bursting with pride to live in a country with fellow citizens such as those veterans. I did not cry … until near the end when they all saluted the flag in unison. It's been 70 years since they served, but without hesitation they responded with respect for the flag, not missing a beat after decades of being out of the service. Thank you veterans past, present, and future.
I agree… shame on those who are trying to "make a point" by putting up those barricades.

A semi-nomadic restaurant troop. We consider cooking to be a culinary implementation tactic and a type of discipline. The innate dynamism of our name casts the world (and food) as infinite degrees of consumption where everything dances, where everything eats and is eaten in turn. Our goal is to tune into this fact and create resonance.
Our methodology, like that of any cook, begins with eating. In other words, we steal ripe ingredients (words, ideas, and tastes) ready to be consumed, broken down, and transformed.
Conspired, cooked-up, unfolded by Joshua McCarty & Dejan Lukic.
Even while chewing on these opening reflections, the cypher spins. By its nature, our website is a consistent extension of our work. A humble admonition: we cannot trace a path to understanding; we can only provide entry points so that clarity may strike.
This is what all VC creations strive for.
Guided by our taste (similar to that of Franz Kafka's hunger artist), VC taps into dietary tracts producing a variety of dining experiences. Our other modes of production include writing, drawing, sculpting, and designing. The difference between these modes and cooking is only one of form. Indeed, sometimes a word is a carrot too: it is sensational, nourishing, delicate, or perhaps just simple. In this respect, we also learn from the falling branch, the crease of a napkin, veins of a daikon, the writer's comma...
We always consider the triad: concept - technique - substance. Hence, three expressions with differing trajectories are set in motion: meals (based on a concept, an external constraint), maneuvers (based on a culinary technique, a kinetic constraint), and dispensations (based on an ingredient, an internal constraint).
Meals are a tactful measure, a moment, an event. The special ritual of coming together to eat is one of the building-blocks of humanity. Since this ritual's basic activity is to grind (we grind our meal and flour, we grind our teeth, digestion grinds), VC harnesses this quality while constructing the event: our meals grind a single concept into multiple dimensions, presented as constructed dishes. They are a search for "absolute" consistency in the triad, starting from a singular concept and casting its kaleidoscopic vision. Meals are our largest undertakings: equally important consideration is given to location, light, sound, and general "air" of the space. The consistency sought after in cooking thus extends into atmospheric dimensions. Guests are chosen on the basis of a specified gift-exchange.
Maneuvers always start with a technique of the kitchen. For example: basting, trussing, whisking, or sweeping. They engage bodily movement or conceptual movement. They are a call to cultivate the earth differently: thinking through manure (or compost-mind, like that of John Cage). These movements (through the city, sea, carcass, foliage, sounds, pages) are veritable tactics of "implementation"; that is to say, a population of new bodies (impleo) in new orders (tassein) via conceptual seeds. A simple gesture is stolen from the arsenal of the cook, applied in a foreign domain (outside the kitchen), and developed into a general disposition. Sweeping, then, is not a simple chore anymore but a form of movement: becoming-swept as a particular "throwness", or an energetic tumbling through the pantry list.
Dispensations are, according to the standard definition, exemptions from usual rules and requirements. Here we start with a specific ingredient which extends into a series of small dishes. The chosen ingredient is repeated in each dish with radical difference. Through immanent connections of chemistry, flavor, texture, etc., these dishes seek consistency within themselves. Dispensations enable askesis and experimentation, opportunities to explore a "humble" ingredient technically and conceptually. They can be ordered on demand as a form of catering. Here we dispense (supply) and are dispensed (given) in the process, providing opportunity for others to access and assess (weigh) our taste.
01 Spruce (plucking, cracking, inhaling)
02 Broth of Earth (aromas of land and sea)
03 Volcano (eruption of fluid, water)
04 Sedimentation (an oyster in its mud, edible sand)
05 Veins (flows of structure and nourishment)
06 Tendons and Fibers (brittle and tender)
07 (Re)covering the Substratum
08 Heart of Juniper (and its blood)
09 Flight and Grinding (lightly smoked duck, its innards and juices)
10 Allies (alliums, their friends, and an impostor)
11 Flesh (viscosities with textures)
12 Ember of Black Garlic and Carrot
13 Airs (egg two ways, perfumes and bouquets)
14 Inhalation with Strawberries
A dispensation that follows an highly ordered structure in the smallest and largest dimensions. This smooth, consistent gradient of degrees produces crystallization. The technique of crystallization goes by many names based on relative directionality: revelation, emergence, divination… It is the diamond and the diamond's edge. An arrangement of symmetrical planes, transparent (clear) yet reflective (displacing vision). And so we present our crystals-dishes, each forged in the lightning strike of crystallization.

Research & Massage
From the desk of Jen Jaynes, LMT... There has been a lot of research done on the effects of therapeutic massage. Below is a sample of studies to give an idea of what massage can do for various medical conditions. This post is an accompaniment to a presentation given on February 10th, 2014 to Boston University medical students.
Massage Studies Discussed in Our Presentation:
Review of Research on Therapeutic Massage for Preterm Infants A roundup of most of the studies done on massage for preterm infants, with links to all studies discussed.
Review of Research on Therapeutic Massage for Non-Malignant Pain Syndromes Summary of studies on headaches, fibromyalgia, and low back pain.
Effect of Facial Massage on Static Balance in Individuals with Temporomandibular Disorder This pilot study found no benefit to TMD patients from massage.
Massage Therapy Attenuates Inflammatory Signaling After Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage This study made a large splash claiming to show how massage helps muscles heal after exercise, but has some design and conclusion flaws.
Counterpoint to the Crane et al Study Above This is one surgeon's response to the inflammation study, with detailed criticisms of the methods used.
Massage Therapy for the Pain of Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Randomized, Controlled Trial Study that found massage reduced pain and increased function and mobility for osteoarthritis patients.
Children with asthma have improved pulmonary function after massage therapy An early study on the benefits of massage in pediatric asthma patients.
Massage Therapy is Associated with Enhancement of the Immune System's Cytotoxic Capacity In this study, patients with HIV who received massage showed increased Natural Killer cells.
A pragmatic investigation into the effects of massage therapy on the self efficacy of multiple sclerosis clients Investigation of how capable multiple sclerosis patients felt during and after a course of therapeutic massage.
Interesting studies for further reading:
A Meta-Analysis of Massage Therapy Research This analysis looks at the effects seen (or not seen) across multiple massage studies, and found that a single massage reduces anxiety, blood pressure, and heart rate. Multiple massages were found to reduce pain and depression.
Moderate Versus Light Pressure Massage Therapy Leads to Greater Weight Gain in Preterm Infants An example of newer massage research, comparing types of massage to find the most effective techniques, rather than simply comparing massage to no massage.
A review of the evidence for the effectiveness, safety, and cost of acupuncture, massage therapy, and spinal manipulation for back pain A comparison study of chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage for low back pain.
Literature review about effectiveness of massage therapy for cancer pain This literature review explores the effectiveness of massage therapy to reduce cancer pain. Most cancer patients are going through intense and unbearable pain. Seventy-three per cent of cancer patients use massage therapy in the USA. Studies have reported that most of the cancer patients' pain reduced with therapeutic massage.
Jen Jaynes Licensed Massage Therapist
Jen Jaynes is a licensed massage therapist and a 2006 graduate of the Muscular Therapy Institute in Watertown, MA (now the Cortiva Institute in Boston). Jen enjoys working with clients to meet their wellness goals through massage. Through discussion with the client and careful observation, she creates a custom ized massage and treatment plan for each client, drawing from Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial, and sports massage techniques. She works both specifically, to release tight muscles, and generally, to help clients integrate all their muscles into a smoothly working whole. Using this variety of tools, Jen creates a deep and effective massage.
Jen received a Bachelor of Arts in History from Brandeis University and is a member of American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). She is dedicated to ongoing education, and regularly takes workshops to develop additional massage skills, including prenatal massage, myofascial release for shoulder dysfunction, hot stone massage, and sports massage. She brings these techniques to each session, to create the ideal combination of massage methods for each client.
Jen enjoys finding new sports and ways to use her body. During massage school, she also trained in a western martial art of full-contact sword fighting, and learned first-hand how effective massage can be for hard-working muscles. She is currently learning aerial arts, such as silks and static trapeze. Because of her experience in several demanding sports, she has an understanding and open mind for how clients use their body and the demands they place on it daily. Her massages focus on helping her client's body meet all of the challenges of their every day life and physical activities with ease and comfort.

What's your narrative?
1. a spoken or written account of connected events; a story.
2. a representation of a particular situation or process in such a way as to reflect or conform to an overarching set of aims or values.
During my 12-week Vedic Meditation teacher training in India, we did a lot of meditation, and, by extension, a lot of soul-searching. Throughout the training, one theme that kept resurfacing for me was narratives. They fascinate me. Narratives are the stories we tell ourselves to explain the world around us, and we do so according to our agenda, our state of mind. We all have our own narratives. Without realizing it, we pick out 'clues' and 'evidence' from our lives that will agree with our narratives. How many times have we told 'our side' of a story, and insisted that we are being objective? 'Of course I'm right,' we think, 'and here are all the reasons why.'
The truth is, we see what we want to see. We feel what we want to feel. We hear what we want to hear. We interpret what we see, feel and hear according to our mindset in that moment, on that day, during that week/month/year. When we're in a bad mood, we might take feedback as a personal attack, but when we're in a more receptive mood, we might be thankful that someone took the time to help us improve. Same words, different state of mind.
We might be afraid that our girl/boyfriend/spouse/partner is going to leave us, so we interpret everything he/she does as evidence to prove it. The evidence? He or she didn't kiss me this morning, or didn't buy me a nice birthday gift, or seemed angry at me last night, or didn't call me. Our narrative gives us justification to act accordingly. I should be angry! I have been mistreated! This person is obviously bad because they are doing all these things to me.
Want to know a secret? It's not about me! It's never about me. Clinging to this victim narrative only causes suffering.
What would happen if we shifted our outlook and stopped the blame game? What if our partner spent hours trying to figure out what to get us for our birthday because they truly wanted us to be happy? What if they seemed angry because they were upset about something that happened that day at work? What if they didn't kiss us this morning because they were afraid they had coffee breath? What if it wasn't about anything we said or did? What if they actually do love us? What if we were worthy of that love? What would that world look like?
It's not easy to escape from our victim mentality. Many of us have been living that way our whole lives. Happiness can even seem scary, because it's unknown. And maybe, consciously or deep inside ourselves, we don't think that we deserve it.
What's your narrative? How can you shift your view of the world to one that supports love, creativity, bliss and connection with life? Start slow. Give someone the benefit of the doubt. When you find yourself slipping into the victim role ('I can't believe this happened to me again!'), take a timeout and think of 3 other reasons to explain your circumstances. Even if they don't pan out, just getting in the habit of thinking that way will help. Find a practice that allows you to see the oneness in the world, that allows you to feel connected to life. For me, it was Vedic meditation. For others, it is yoga, or gardening, or cycling, or showing gratitude. We aren't meant to suffer. We deserve love and a life of fulfillment.
How will you re-claim your narrative?
