Currently, there is a very low or no precious metal recovery from cleaning copper crucibles. Responding to customer need for an improved return, Materion is developing a new copper parts cleaning service. This service will particularly support the requirements of the compound semiconductor industry.
Physical Removal of Precious Metal
Traditionally, precious metal like gold (Au) is removed physically. Parts to be cleaned, such as crucibles (sources), top plates, V plates, or other customer specific parts, go through a machining process. The disadvantage with this mechanical approach is that remaining parts are damaged or scrapped - as there is no option to retain usable parts.
Unique Chemical Cleaning Process
The advantage of the new chemical process is that it does not attack (no negative impact) the copper or copper alloy surface. It has been developed to remove only the deposition layer. The mechanical process is still used to remove the bulk of the precious metal material prior to the chemical process. But the advantage of a dual approach (physical cleaning followed by Materion's new chemical process), is that we are able to increase the salvage of precious metals.
Before Cleaning
Advantages to Customers
Historically, customers use parts one-time and then dispose of them. Materion's copper parts cleaning process will allow the useful life of the part to be extended. Cleaned parts are texturized and returned to the customer along with the recovered precious metal.
- Extend the useful life of part/multiple uses of same crucible
- Cleaned parts meet customer dimensional tolerance
- Improved precious metals recovery rates
- Cost effective process for customer
For more information on chemical cleaning or any of Materion's precision parts cleaning services, please contact Jim McMullen, Product Manager at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Military tactical Bulletproof vests are widely used by soldiers, law enforcement and security personnels. A tactical vest is a heavy duty vest which can be worn over regular clothing. It provides both protection to the vital organs of the body besides giving a way to carry gear when on assignment. The vest is equipped with many pockets that can hold several kinds of needful equipments like guns, ammunition, walkie-talkie, mobile phones etc. It helps to carry all sorts of things that the wearer needs to carry while on some assignments.
These tactical vests are designed to be comfortable. These vest being extremely lighter in weight does not cause fatigue in user. On the other hand, even being very less bulkier or lighter in weight, its strength remains intact. This means these tactical vests possess very high strength to weight ratio. Tactical vests are an important part of SWAT assault gear. Cost of life can never be compromised with anything. These vest are more comfortable and have high longevity as compared to other designs available in market. Always ensure while purchasing that the tactical vest must have enough pockets to hold everything. These vests are not specific to military and law enforcement officers, but also they useful for people engaged in fishing, hunting etc.
The Tactical Vest for military were first came in existence in 2006 by the United Sates Marines. This was an enhanced version of the older interceptor body armor. They were only accepted for use after vigorous testing by the Marines. The improved design of the vest was found to have much enhanced level of protection. Although the weight of the vest was bit more than conventional vests, but due to the distribution of the vest weight over the whole body of the wearer, body fatigue reduced significantly. These vest used the same protective plates as the older versions so that there was no safety risk in switching. By 2008 they were popular enough that the Navy also adopted them.
If you would like to purchase the best tactical vest, just place your order with Hardshell.
Hardshell is an ISO 9001:2008 certified company, manufacturing specialized ballistic protection product range, with a team of highly skilled and well trained work force.

My conference proposal tips
Someone on our team asked me to write up something on conference proposals, so here's my two cents. I'd love to hear from you in the comments. The initial framework for this comes from my friend Cip.
Know your audience and it's not conference attendees
Your proposal will be evaluated by people who are well-known in the industry and active on the conference scene. It's safe to assume they are up to date on the latest trends. They don't want a speaker to parrot ideas from established thought leaders, they want new ideas and solutions.
Target a compelling problem
We want reviewers to read the title or first line of your proposal and think about a problem they are having today or one that is around the corner. Have you ever had a client who thought of you as an order taker instead of a product partner? I think we can all say yes to that question and want ways to solve it.
There are some non-problem focused talks you can consider: an big untapped opportunity, a strategy-focused talk, a unique take on an emerging topic or an exploration of the future.
Provide a unique solution supported by your experience
Explain your solution and how you arrived at it. I try to break the solution into a series of steps are are clear and actionable. For each step I use an example of challenges I've faced or something I learned working on a project. Direct experience with the topic and personal stories really connect with reviewers and conference attendees.
Include plenty of detail in your proposal to help reviewers understand your solution and see your expertise on the topic.
Place it within your brand
Make sure that your topic and solution fits within your organization's brand. This is a valuable opportunity to build brand equity and connect with potential customers.
Good luck!!!

About Boston, MA
One of the oldest and most historically abundant cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England. Upon U.S. independence from Great Britain, it continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub as well as a center for education and culture. The city proper has an unusually small area for a major city, and more than one-fourth of the total—including part of the Charles River, the Harbor, and a portion of the Atlantic—is water. Its nickname "Beantown" has its origin in colonial times when Boston, as a stop on a major trade route with the West Indies, had a steady supply of molasses from the Caribbean, thus leading to the creation of a popular dish that became known as Boston baked beans (beans baked in molasses).

Speaking of baby, and because a post without pictures is ZZZZZ, here's me at 34 weeks...as of yesterday, I'm 35 weeks and THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING FOLKS.
Thursday, April 26, 2012
Hi Sugarplum! guest post
Speaking of baby, and because a post without pictures is ZZZZZ, here's me at 34 weeks...as of yesterday, I'm 35 weeks and THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING FOLKS.
20 comments:
I've been wondering about Jessica Simpson, too!! How is it possible that she's still pregnant? Anyhoo, just wait til the last two weeks - if you're like me, you'll wake up hoping each day is THE day - yes, so you can meet your awesome baby, but also so you won't be pregnant anymore. :) So over it! (BTW, you look so cute!)ReplyDelete
One last thing - speaking of people asking you your due date, I was chatting with a Z Gallerie employee yesterday and he asked how long I had left - when I said two weeks, he said, "Yeah, I can see that!" Sigh.ReplyDelete
You look awesome. I agree on Jessica Simpson. It probably seems to be lasting longer because she hasn't said a due date other than "spring"ReplyDelete
As for the 3rd trimester nesting/burst of energy... Yeah that never happened for me. I kept waiting for it in hopes that I'd finish some projects, but no such luck!
Love that dress! (where's it from?) Totally feel you on both Jessica Simpson (hoping I'm not as big as her by the end, though I can see myself headed that way - how do i still have 7 weeks left?) and exhaustion. Good luck the last few weeks!ReplyDelete
Jessica Simpson is still preggo? I totally thought she would've had that baby by now!? She's HUGE! There's no way she's sleeping at all!!ReplyDelete
YOU on the other hand look adorable, and I am so glad things are going well. I remember that not sleeping well stuff (while still pregnant haha).
I'm sure the nesting will come soon! Mine started after I started mat leave (before baby came), and I was so torn. I wanted to nest like crazy... but I also wanted to sit with my feet up as I knew those opportunities would be few and far between after baby came. I'd say not too worry too much about nesting though... enjoy relaxing time alone, and anytime with your man that you can get too! ;)
Jessica Simpson...don't even get me started. and you look GREAT!!ReplyDelete
I was just saying the same thing about Jessica Simpson. She has been pregnant for at least a year!ReplyDelete
You look amazing. How exciting!
Exciting times! Best wishes. You look great in your dress.ReplyDelete
Justine, the dress is from Motherhood, but it was given to me by my girlfriend who bought it for her pregnancy in 2009 :(ReplyDelete
Sorry I can't help you find it now!
So cute! I love baby bellies!!ReplyDelete
You seriously look adorable :) Not too much longer - wow!!!ReplyDelete
You look adorable! Not too long now :-)ReplyDelete
and yes, Jessica Simpson has pregnant forever.
- AnonymousApril 26, 2012 at 11:39 PM
I thought Jessica Simpson had her baby already and it was an emergency birth or something.ReplyDelete
BTW, I wish I looked as good at 34 weeks as you do! I gained it all over especially in my face. You look all belly so you will be back to pre pregnancy shape in no time I bet! Jealous!
I also wonder about Jessica Simpson. But if being pregnant will teach you anything, it's this: never comment on the size of another woman's bump, and never use the phrase 'ready to pop' unless you know they really are! In fact... no, just never use it.ReplyDelete
You look great, btw!
Hi! I found your blog through Hi Sugarplum. Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your little one! I'm also from SE WI & my husband & I just had our first child (a baby boy) at the end of March! It's a wonderful experience! Congrats, again! I will definitely be following you!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 27, 2012 at 3:33 PM
Your in the home stretch now. I won't be long until you meet your little guy. All the best for a restful end of your pregnancy.ReplyDelete
Looking great, lady!! I wondered the same thing about J Simps! Modern mysteries... ; )ReplyDelete
Love those belly pics! You look faboulous. By 35 weeks I was one swollen mess who could not walk up stairs because my back hurt so much.ReplyDelete
I think the only reason the nesting urge hit me was that I am a procrastinator by nature and suddenly a deadline was looming. So all the stuff I had been putting off HAD to be done.
You look so awesome! I'm so excited for you! I'm interested in this belly belt. My poor internal organs are getting a workout with all this extra pressure. Ick.ReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures...you are almost there! Love the drapes in the baby room, good choice going with the block out panel...every little bit helps if you want the little to sleep in.ReplyDelete

How Much Electricity Do Christmas Lights Use?
When you are getting ready for Christmas season, it's important that you get your household in order. Aside from a purely decorative standpoint, it's important that you consider the energy use the comes with the holiday season.
Christmas decorations, while beautiful, cost money, and can run up your bills if you aren't careful.
So how much electricity do Christmas lights use? Consider the tips below to learn all you need to know.
How Much Electricity Do Christmas Lights Use?
When you're considering how much energy your Christmas lights use, it comes down to measuring the wattage. A modest incandescent Christmas light setup could burn about 40 watts, while LED Christmas lights use about 4 watts.
However, there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to measuring the amount of electricity that your Christmas lights use.
What Factors Affect How Much Energy is Used?
There are a number of factors that come into play when you are figuring out how much energy your Christmas lights use. The more you understand about your Christmas lights, the easier it is to get a handle on how they use energy.
This will help you curb your electrical use during the wintertime, and allows you to choose the best setup. Here are the main factors you need to know:
1. The Type of Lights and Bulbs
First things first, consider the types of lights and bulbs you use for your Christmas lights. This will generally boil down to whether you used incandescent lights or LED lights.
Incandescent lights last about 1,000 hours, while LED lights last upwards of 25,000 hours. Think about this longevity and energy use whenever you are shopping around for a Christmas light setup.
2. The Square Footage of Your House and the Overall Design
The size of your home will largely dictate how much money you spend when decorating your house with Christmas lights. Think about whether you are going to secure lights along the top of the roof and all around, or whether you just want to decorate some windows and other fixtures.
The more in-depth you get with the design, and the more intricately and completely you decide to cover your home with lights, the more money you will pay during both the installation and upkeep of your Christmas lights.
3. How Long You Keep Them on Each Day
Having the lights installed is one thing, but you also need to think about how long you keep them on each day. Some people turn their lights on for just a few hours every night once it's deep into the evening, while others turn the lights on as soon as they get home from work keep them on overnight as they sleep.
Think about whether you're going to keep the lights on every day or just certain days. The more constant use these lights get, the more pricey your electric bill will be.
4. How Long You Keep Them Up Each Season
Aside from how much you keeping your lights on every day, think about how often you keep the lights on throughout the season. For example, some people put them up at some time in December, while other people wait until right after Thanksgiving or even as early as post-Halloween.
The longer you keep these lights on, the more of an impact it'll have during the winter, which is also a time where you are running your heat non-stop. Both these factors can drive up your electric bill.
5. The Equipment You Use to Hook it Up
Take the time to consider the electrical equipment that you use also. For instance, having a circuit breaker or using extension cords can have an effect on the amount of electricity used.
For Christmas lights, you might also incorporate timers and other sorts of modifications that play into how you use your electricity.
In terms of "equipment", you'll also need to consider what sort of tree you install. Having a taller Christmas tree means that you will use more lights, which will cost you more money overall.
This means considering the general electrical use in your household, which will dictate the way your tree is used and how much energy is used. When you choose Christmas light equipment that is more intricate and decorative, it will also play a role in how much electricity the lights use when in operation.
Be sure that you measure the space of your living area and choose the right size Christmas tree for your household. Think about the type of electrical system you have and any electrical issues that come up as a result of an audit. Doing this will help you figure out which electrical issues are driving your bills up so that your Christmas lights are installed in a way that serves your household.
Consider How You Set Up Your Christmas Lights
So how much electricity do Christmas lights use? This article breaks down some considerations you need to know about.

Childsafe Trivia Bowl Saturday 3pm
Saturday, February 25, 2012
3:00 - 6:00 p.m.
ChildSafe's Third Annual Trivia Bowl will be held 3:00-6:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 25, 2012, at Ptarmigan Golf Club.
Teams may consist of 2-4 players. Cost is $25/person which includes an all-you-can-eat appetizer buffet. To register, call ChildSafe at (970) 472-4133.
What Is ChildSafe?
ChildSafe was founded in 1986 out of a need for a comprehensive community-based response to child sexual abuse. Clinical Director Valerie Macri-Lind remembers it this way: "We began the program with ten victims and their families as part of our private practices, and we soon realized that there were far more children and families needing this service than we had ever imagined...." Now we treat hundreds of clients a year!
In 1998 the organization was converted to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit so we could pursue grant funding for the growing number of clients with limited financial resources. Since that time we have operated as a nonprofit organization governed an active volunteer board of directors who provide oversight, planning, and fundraising.
Today, ChildSafe's operational staff includes an executive director, clinical director, and several full-time and part-time professional therapists with specialized training in helping sex abuse victims. Our annual budget totals about $450,000.
ChildSafe is the only nonprofit in northern Colorado that provides comprehensive treatment to victims of child sexual abuse and their non-offending family members, and the only program that offers them group therapy. We don't discriminate, and we don't turn families away because they lack financial resources.
Our services are partially funded through medical insurance, self-pay, and Victim Compensation payments, but also through grants and individual donations. We increasingly depend on these outside sources of funding as our client load continues to grow and fewer of our clients have health insurance. So far, the community hasn't let us down.

as a mandate to adults
We at ChildSafe are proud that we can provide treatment for all those who need it, and that our programs continue to produce extremely good results (see Success Stories and Quotes for some examples). It's this record of successful community service that keeps all of us – the ChildSafe staff, board, and volunteers – enthusiastic in our support of this unique organization.

An Astrological
Look at Watergate &
President Richard
Nixon's Downfall
The Previous Transit
of Saturn in Gemini
and Cancer
Published in NCGR
Geocosmic Journal,
Spring 2004
Saturn is the
taskmaster of the
Zodiac. It
represents duty,
structure, and
order, as well as
inhibition, and
delay. Saturn
transits give one
what one
deserves—one way or
the other. A person
may be promoted or
fired, depending
upon his or her
actions. Simply
put, if a person is
doing something that
is illegal or
untoward, Saturn
transits are when
that person gets
Saturn has been in
Gemini and Cancer
since President
George W. Bush took
office. The last
time Saturn
transited these
signs was during the
presidency of
Richard Nixon.
Richard Nixon began
his second term in
office in January,
1973, winning a
landslide victory
against the
Democratic nominee,
George McGovern.
Massachusetts was
the only state in
the union to vote
for McGovern. Yet,
by August, 1974,
Nixon resigned in
the midst of the
Watergate scandal.
The events that took
place read like a
melodrama in a badly
written spy novel.
An examination of
Nixon's chart, and
the US chart show
what happened
astrologically. As
no one transit takes
place by itself, all
major transits to
Nixon and the US
chart are examined.

born January 9, 1913
at 9:35 PM,
Fullerton Township,
CA. The chart used
for the US is July
Philadelphia, PA.
In the late 1960s
and early 1970s the
US was engaged in
the Vietnam War.
The country was
deeply divided.
Antiwar rallies were
commonplace. Draft
evaders flocked to
Canada. Nixon did
not start the war.
He inherited it from
former President
Lyndon Johnson. But
in an attempt to
win, Nixon expanded
the scope of the
war. Politics at
home became more
contentious, and
supposedly secret
information found
its way into the
The following chain
of events that
occurred both before
and after Nixon's
1972 election led to
his downfall. In
1971 Nixon created a
Investigation Unit
to find out who was
leaking news to the
press about the
Vietnam War. This
unit became known as
the plumbers. Their
operations ranged
from wiretaps
without court
approval to the
break-in at Dr.
Daniel Ellsberg's
office. Ellsberg
was the person who
leaked the Pentagon
Also in 1971 the
Committee to Reelect
the President (CRP)
told Nixon's Chief
of Staff, H. R.
Halderman, that they
needed to collect
intelligence for the
coming election. In
1972 political
espionage plans
involved U.S.
Attorney General
John Mitchell, John
Dean counsel to the
President, Jeb
Magruder, deputy
director of CRP and
G. Gordon Liddy,
counsel to the
Finance Committee to
the CRP.
The liking for
covert operations
and the obsessive
need for control can
easily be seen in
Nixon's chart. Pluto
is the most elevated
planet in his
chart. It falls in
the Tenth House and
opposes a stellium
of Mars in
Sagittarius conjunct
Mercury and Jupiter
in early Capricorn
in the Fourth
House. This is a
particularly feisty,
warlike combination
of planets. Nixon
could be shrewd and
insightful as well
as paranoid and

noted is that Nixon
could also be quite
naïve. His

falls into the idea
of Mars having no
bounds. Facies is
characterized by
either being
ruthless or being
the victim. War and

Nixon's presidency.

simultaneously can
be very unpleasant.
Saturn represents
restriction; the

represents freedom,
the desire to break

accounts, likely,
Nixon's behavior

In recent years the travel writer and cyclist Andrew P. Sykes has given a talk at the Cycling Touring Festival in Clitheroe, Lancashire. The family-run festival is a wonderful, friendly event and in 2018 took place in continuous sunshine from beginning to end over the weekend of the 4th – 6th May. In every year that Andrew has attended the festival, it has afforded him the opportunity of preparing a new cycle-touring related talk. This year he was in reflective mood, looking back over the ten years of his career as a long-distance cyclist and writer (as documented through his books and his popular website CyclingEurope.org) and he came up with a list of fifteen 'top tips' for long-distance cycling. Some are serious, others less so. Some you will wholeheartedly agree with yet you will, without doubt, disagree just as passionately with some of the others. So here they are, with a little explanation and video illustration, Andrew P. Sykes' Top Fifteen Tips for Long-Distance Cycling…
1. Do a trial run
Prior to embarking upon the first of the three long-distance cycles across Europe in 2010, I thought it wise to test if I was cut out for multiple days in the saddle. So, the previous summer, in August 2009, I headed up to Berwick-upon-Tweed for a week-long cycle along the Pennine Cycleway, route 68 of the National Cycle Network. You can read more about that particular ride here.
In preparation for cycling in Norway on the third long European cycle from Tarifa to Nordkapp in 2015 I wanted some experience of cycling in a more challenging environment so I took the bike to the north of Scotland for a coastal ride from John O'Groats to the island of Skye. Read more about that adventure here.
2. Never buy a one-person tent
I did and was soon regretting it as the rain fell in the August of 2010 as I was making my way from southern England to southern Italy. It was a tight squeeze when trying to sleep with all the cycling gear stored inside the tent out of the way of the elements. Is it really worth saving a kilogram or so of weight when you could be carrying a tent for two people? I've since upgraded my tent twice with each new one being larger than the previous. If you are keen to keep the weight down, go on a diet.
Read more about my recent choice to upgrade to the Vango F10 Xenon UL2+ here.
3. Don't let the weather put you off
Given the choice we would probably all opt for sunshine over showers. But we can't change the weather, so get used to it. If you really are bothered by getting wet on a bicycle, it's time to consider alternative means of transport. What's more, sometimes, a downpour can actually be a lot of fun. Below is a short extract from my first book, Crossing Europe on a Bike Called Reggie. I was in the east of France and it was very damp to say the least…
"Suddenly the clouds blackened and my road descended steeply into the valley. It was almost as if Mother Nature herself had told her minions to put on a show to impress. And I was. As I cycled along the road the rain pelted down. Arriving in the valley bottom there were flash floods with me struggling to cycle through the currents of water. It was great. And so was the scenery; the bland rolling hills had been replaced with one dramatic steep sided valley with a monster of a river in the bottom; The Meuse, my new best friend, which didn't fail to impress as I continued my ride along its banks all the long, winding way to Charleville-Mézières itself. I later posted a sentence to the blog that summed up what an invigorating end it had been to a very, very wet afternoon; The adventure started today!"
4. If you see a mountain, cycle towards it
Yes, they can be hard work and incite profanities to be uttered as you crawl your way to the top, but the sense of satisfaction at having conquered these beasts of solid rock is only matched by the glorious views. Worth every ounce of sweat expended and every expletive expressed… As far as Europe goes, these are the mightiest of the lot and when climbing the Alps back in 2010, I chose to do so via the Gotthard Pass:
You can find the posts that I made at the time of climbing the Alps in 2010 here. There were plenty more mountains in 2013 as I cycled 'Along The Med…' including the Peloponnese, the hills of Albania, the Alps (again), Mont Ventoux and the Pyrenees – see the original posts here. And even more of the buggers when I cycled from 'Spain to Norway…' including, once again, the Pyrenees and the peaks of southern Norway: the original posts are here.
5. Try to be lucky!
But… things didn't quite go to plan on the other side of the Gotthard Pass. Broken spokes put the entire trip at risk. Would I be able to repair the bike in Airolo, the small town at the foot of the mountain in the Italian-speaking Swiss region of Ticino? It wasn't looking good. Would I have to catch a train to Milan to repair a rather poorly Reggie? Watch and read:
6. Write about your adventures
It was never my intention of writing a book when I set off to cycle to southern Italy in the wet summer of 2010 but I was expressing my thoughts online via this website. You can still read those original post from 'Crossing Europe…' here. Indeed you can also read the posts from the second and third continental crossing here and here. But there are many other ways of recording your journey whether it be via social media or a more private diary. Writing provides a space in which to reflect carefully upon what has happened on your journey and helps put things into context. Was it such a bad thing that it rained all day long?
7. Avoid taking planes
When it comes to travelling, few things can be more of a hassle than taking your bicycle on a plane. There are 'solutions'; bike boxes (as demonstrated here by Neil Wheadon) or using a courier service to do all the carrying (but not the worrying) as I did in 2015 when I flew to southern Spain prior to the trip from Tarifa to Nordkapp without Reggie the bike. More details here. But rarely have I been more flustered whilst travelling on two wheels than when, in the summer of 2013, I arrived in southern Greece after having stepped off a flight from the UK and tried to put the bike back into working order… without a functioning pump:
8. Find iconic places to start and finish your trips
Watch and listen:
See what I mean? Nobody would have ever described the flat where I was living in central Reading in 2010 and the place from where I set off on that first continental ride as 'iconic' (although I'm sure the architect would have had a good go at persuading you…), but for the other five departure and arrival points I had either spectacular views or magnificent structures (or both) to inspire me as I set off or help me celebrate when I pulled on the brakes for the final time and stopped cycling. Very memorable moments. Very memorable places. (Apart from my flat in Reading…)
9. Never look at route profiles
Can ignorance be bliss? As we've seen in top tip 4, "If you see a mountain, cycle towards it" but we don't need the detail, do we? We don't need to know how many false summits we are about to encounter or just how steep that section in the middle is going to be or, as I discovered in Greece in 2013 as I was cycling through the Peloponnese mountains (which, admittedly, I only realised were mountains when I crossed the Corinth Canal and noticed them looming vertiginously ahead of me) that there would be a painful sting in the tail of my day as the road suddenly decided to climb some 200 metres to my destination at Levidi. There's no doubt about it; ignorance is indeed bliss and route profiles should be avoided.
10. Stay at Camping Castel San Pietro in Verona
A bit of a specific one but… There are many contenders for the top spot in my list of cycling-friendly campsites. The ones that leap ahead of the rest are those where a nice area has been set aside for travellers who arrive with a small tent but no car, the wonderful (if potentially confusingly named) 'free camping area'. No hedges to prevent you from fraternising with your fellow campers, just a patch of hopefully luscious grass upon which to pitch the tent and relax. But at Camping Castel San Pietro, an establishment that clings to the hill overlooking Verona, the humble free camping area has been elevated to a small walled garden with vines providing the shade. Then there's the cooking and eating terrace next door… and then there's the view. On my jaunts around Europe, it has yet to be bettered.
11. WarmShowers hosts will probably not murder you
The WarmShowers website is a fantastic resource for travelling cyclists. Basically it's Couch Surfing for those who move around on two (self-propelled) wheels but with the added bonus that you almost always have one thing in common with the people who stay with you or indeed host you on your own travels: cycling. WarmShowers has been mentioned on a regular basis on this website – explore the posts here – and I've met some great people over the years on my travels around Europe. Only once was I a little concerned, high in the Pyrenees in the summer of 2013…
It turned out, of course, that Eddy – the Belgian – was just as friendly and welcoming as everyone else…
12. Quit your job at least once to go off on a long cycle
An easy one. I could just about fit the first two of my trans-European cycles into the summer holidays of a school teacher. That wasn't going to be the case in 2015 as I cycled from Tarifa to Nordkapp so there was only one thing for it; I quit my job and I have yet to regret the decision…
13. Bear in mind that cycling isn't really about cycling
Yes, the physical act of 'cycling' is about cycling but cycling, well… is also about so much else…
14. Be curious, ask questions
One of my major concerns when setting off on my very first long-distance cycle – along the Pennine Cycleway in 2009 – was whether or not I would be lonely. I soon discovered that my worries had been misplaced to say the very least. People were curious and asked lots of questions; 'where have you come from?', 'where are you going?', 'why are you cycling?'… I've always tried to reciprocate the curiosity and my travelling has been so much richer and more fulfilling because of it.
15. Always take time to stop and stare
Start practising now. Stare at this for a couple of minutes:
So there you have it: Cycling Europe's Top 15 Tip for Long-Distance Cycling.
Many more top tips in the books of course…
- Crossing Europe on a Bike Called Reggie (2011)
- Along The Med on a Bike Called Reggie (2014)
- Spain to Norway on a Bike Called Reggie (2017)
Happy reading. Happy cycling…

How do digital wallets, or e-wallets, differ from traditional payment systems? ✓Advantages ✓Disadvantages ✓Google Pay ✓Apple Pay ✓Android Pay
In payment, the term wallet refers to an electronic wallet (e-wallet), or digital wallet. Simply put, e-wallets are a kind of virtual purse. One of the clear benefits of e-wallet payment is the simple checkout process. Through the e-wallet payment option, retailers offer their customers a pleasant and uncomplicated customer journey - ideal for conversion. The money transfer to the dealer when paying by e-wallet is immediate. Therefore, the order can be processed quickly.
An advantage for customers is the fact that no financial data is transmitted to the dealer. Bank or credit card details are only entered once when setting up the e-wallet account. When settling an online purchase with e-wallet, customers log in with their email address and password.

Our day started out a little rainy but after lunch started pouring but the kids thought it was awesome to wear a poncho which was something we had never done before so we just kept on going! After a 3 hour drive one way to our state zoo a little rain wasn't going to stop us!
We loved watching the baby gorillas that played as if we weren't even there! We actually have watched these babies for 2 years (we visited the zoo the week they were born). We loved the Chimp and Baboon babies too! Got to watch several of the animals get feed. Upset that the Polar Bears wasn't out in the new exhibit yet since I was told they would be at the time of our visit! Had a great day rain and all!

Etiquette, expectations, entitlement...@autoexec_bin | #magiclantern | Discord | Reddit | Server issues
Thx for the help, dhallowell19!- What i do is copying the whole ML 2.35 stable build into the card (after formating in the camera) and then overwriting the content with the development build (autoexec bin and modules folder). I don't understand what you mean by doing the whole ML install. Can you try to explain it again plz? Sorry for the trouble - I set the FPS override to 23.976 (maybe thats the issue?). I'll try 24 - When I turn on Small Hacks, it kills the Exposure Sim (I see the item ticked on my screen). Can I turn it off on another setting?
At shots under 4gb, it all works fine. But that doesn't help me since i need to record stuff at least two minutes long.If your build doesn't work, I'll try at resolutions under 1584x960.
Ok, this is significant as it points to file spanning being an issue (for you). What app are you using to convert the raw files?I think the Batchelor and raw2cdng apps have file spanning support (split raws), not sure what else can do it.
[spoiler]Thank you all very much for the support!Ok, here it goes.My setup:Canon 50DCanon EFS 10-22mmSandisk 16GB 60mb/sRAW 1584x896FPS 23.976Windows 7 x64First I made the test by goldenchild9to5 (magiclantern-2013Jul11), and everything worked out correctly, no pink corrupt frames.GD ON with everyting off, Exposure Override OnHowever, I couldnt exceed 4GB because dropped frames would stop recording. I couldn't get continuos recording, even at 1474.Then, I used Andy's build (Tragic.Lantern.Andy600build.Jul15.50D109) and I could record continuosly up to full card. However, all I got was pink corrupt frames, such as the one I uploaded. The funny fact is that when I stopped the video before the 4GB (I also recorded a 15sec video to test it), no pink frames, everything perfect.[/spoiler]I'm using RAW Batchelor Beta 2.3. Maybe its a spanned files problem?

It's nice weather here in the UK at the moment so I went and shot another raw test. - Used Tragic Lantern by 1% (11th July build compiled by Andy600)- Mostly shot at 1584x892 and upscaled to 1080- 1 or 2 shots in 5x crop mode
- DNG's extracted with RAWMagic 1.0 Beta 7
- Raw processing in ACR- Tamron 17-50mm f2.8I'm getting more accustomed to the workflow now. I did a light 'logish' grade in ACR rendered out to Prores 444. Then applied a custom LUT in Resolve, tweaked it and added a little sharpening.
Still working on the 50D/raw video (including Tragic Lantern 2.0) guide. Up to 5k words+ and trying to cover everything I can think of but there will be a 'quick setup' section. If anyone has any specific 'user' questions about raw video on the 50D just PM them to me. I think I'll have answered most things in the guide but there may be things I've overlooked.
We needed something like that for all Beginners, thanks for taking the initiative for doing so. All I'm going to say is Team 50D is the best
I'll try to recreate the issue and see if I can spot what the problem is. I guess if you are using Batchelor etc you must be on a PC so RawMagic won't work.@1% do you know if file spanning is ok with TL2.0?
Great to hear that you got to work.. try one more thing. From the canon menu put your picture quality on (JPEG Large) and not (RAW) it shouldn't make that much difference but still try it out and report back. It might be a spanned files problem.
I'll send you a draft when it's ready. Gotta add some pretty pics and formatting in InDesign so it's an interactive PDF (hopefully). I keep thinking of new things to add so it's taking ages
Guys, thank you so much for all the help!I used rawmagic on my MAC MINI, and guess what? No pink corrupt frames http://www.sendspace.com/file/09w44kIm going to seek help on the RAWBatchelor topic and see what they can do for me.If there is anyting i can add to this discussion, Tragic.Lantern.Andy600build.Jul15.50D109 is way better than magiclantern-2013Jul11, since it can write 1592x892 on my SanDisk 16GB 60mb/s CONTINUOUSLY while the other cannot Ty all so much. Team 50D rocks!!!EDIT: Funny fact... DNG thumbnails on my mac look magenta tinted. Files are ok thought
hi andy!i think your guide will be awesome.if you need any help with it or want some more eyes to take a look at it, i would be glad to do so.i´m in the tv, film and commercial business since 12 years and the last 5 years i worked as a technical director, trained hundreds of people and wrote many manuals and optimized workflow after workflow.and maybe just somebody wants a german translation..... just tell me ;-)
Ok, I repeated the same test with my Transcend 16GB 1000x and it looks like the problem is when I extract with Batchelor the spanned files.I rename the 1234.RAW and 1234.R01, 1234.R02 etc to 1.RAW, 2.RAW, 3.RAW, then use Batchelor to export to DNG. The result is always pink corrupt files, either on Tragic.Lantern.Andy600build.Jul15.50D109 or magiclantern-2013Jul11.I will try on RAWmagic on a MAC mini that I have, to see what happens.Then Ill try to upload results here.EDIT: golden, I forgot to mention that I've been using JPEG large quality and no RAW on camera setup since the 1st try
Just uploaded the latest 50D Unified build if anyone wants it. (it's Unified code, not Tragic Lantern).Seems stable here.https://bitbucket.org/andy600/andy50d/downloads/Magic.Lantern.July162013.50D.109.Andy600.unified.9f843c096fda+.zipThe latest commits are all about Dual ISO for the 5d3 (That is Waaaaaay cool but of course, it won't work on the 50D) but there are also minor code updates that will affect other cameras. This is built with completely fresh code
Just wanting to share a video shot with the 50D
I have that same glitch with a single frame being darker. Your workflow seems longer than mine though.RAW > Import with Ginger HDR into AE > Grade > Render out ProRes 4444 to FCP 7.03.Also, noob question- how do I turn off autoexposure? When I lock ISO, shutter, WB it still gains up and down depending on brightness.
