Introducing a new regular feature: From time to time, I'll be interviewing with bento artists/bloggers whose work I admire, as well as other bento-world related people.
First up is Diana of the French bento blog Bento Concept [1]. While most charaben/kyaraben are very, if not excessively, cute, Bento Concept's bentos are much more sophisticated, even elegant. A lot of her ideas are deceptively simple and easy to replicate for anyone. Not only that, Diana mostly sticks to using the naturally occuring colors in food (radish mice, a green-pepper frog, oyster mushrooms as daffodil bulbs, proscuitto ham poppies) rather than added food colorings and such.
She usually provides a short summary of her posts in English, but you can gain a lot of inspiration from her blog just from the wonderful photos. Check out just a sampling of her creations below, and find out more about her.
Q. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I live with my husband and our 17 year old daughter in the Vendée, on the Atlantic coast of France. I'm interested in traveling, other cultures, art, traditional crafts, in fact I think I'm curious about a lot of things. I'm happy I started blogging a few monthsago, it's like a window opened on the world.
Q. When did you first learn about bentos, especially charaben?
Bentos came on my way on a holiday trip to Japan, in the autumn of 2008. I was totally blown away by the colourful, aesthetic, appetizing way to pack food, as well as the practical side of a full meal in such a small box. I decided to make bentos a part of my life and started learning about the Japanese kitchen and bento as soon as I came home. I've been surfing a lot on the internet and it was there that I found out about charaben. At first I was surprised about people taking so much time and effort to decorate their food, but soon I was very intrigued by this kind of food art, and wanted to explore some of the possibilities myself.
Q. For whom do you make your bentos?
Mainly I make bentos for my daughter, sometimes for myself or other people.
Q. What are your inspirations for your bentos?
Of course all the bento sites are highly inspirational, I'll put that as the first reason, and secondly just everyday life; something I read, a conversation, a flower in the garden and so on.
Q. Do you put aesthetics (the way the bento looks) first, or the nutritional balance?
When I really want to make a charaben, when I have an idea, I choose my food (or even buy it) especially for that occasion, but I make it a point of honor, to have at the end a good balanced bento, a real meal and not an image made out of food, that's a full part of the challenge.
Q. How long does it take you to make a typical decorative (charaben) bento?
Sometimes just 15 minutes, but average time is about 2 hours.
Q. Do you only make decorative bentos, or do you make regular bento lunches also?
I make regular bento lunches (or dinners) as well, I just don't show them on my blog. My creative mind is still sleeping when I need to make a bento early in the morning, sometimes the available food in the fridge just doesn't fit to make a charaben and of course, when you're in a hurry, there's no time for anything that isn't essential.
Q. What are your favorite bento sites?
Well, the two sites I read the most are Just Bento and Mook's blog French Bento [2]. I also try to follow some other French bloggers, as well as Lunch in a Box [3] and e-obento [4].
Merci beaucoup to Diana for the interview and for allowing us to use some of her photos!

You'd think after all the backstage drama, oncamera fights and lackluster ratings, Nicki Minaj's "American Idol" gig was less than fun for her. But you'd be wrong, according to the singer herself.
"My experience was great! It was a blessing," she tells us exclusively at the launch of Myx Fusions Moscato in New York on Thursday. "I had a wonderful time and I learned a lot about myself; I learned a lot about the worlds' perception of me. And I think it was a great thing for hip hop to see me transcend and then I can come
PHOTOS: TV stars versus their own shows
But Minaj wasn't just part of the Idol machine for her career, but to help out the aspiring singers throughout the competition.
"It was really inspiring and I got a chance to see kids fulfill their dreams and be part of that," she says. "No complaints whatsoever!"
Of course we had to ask who she thinks would be good to replace her and the rest of the judging panel, who all jumped ship after season 12 wrapped. Except for Keith Urban, who has yet to make an official announcement. We've already repoted that Fox is courting Idol alums for next season, including Jennifer Hudson. But like the rest of the country, Minaj has no clue who should be the judges.
VIDEO: Is Jennifer Lopez coming to Idol?
"I have no idea, but God bless them!" she laughs when we asked who should fill in for her. And the idea of her appearing on a spinning red chair on "The Voice"?
"You never know, anything can happen!" she answers coyly.
Would you like to see Nicki Minaj on "The Voice"? Who do you think should be Idol judges next year?

NZXT Avatar S Review
Are you sick and tired of your current mouse? Maybe you are not able to get the kills that you know you should be able to in your favorite first person shooter because your current mouse is not able to move across your screen as quick as it should be able to. Well you may be just in luck, as NZXT has just released a new mouse called the Avatar S. This mouse is capable of giving up to a 1600 DPI reading, allowing you to quickly move your mouse across your screen to get that headshot that you know you're capable of getting. The NZXT Avatar S does not require you to download and install any drivers for the mouse to properly function, nor for you to take advantage of the three DPI settings that the mouse can support. This mouse is aimed at the user that rests their hand on the mouse in a flat manner with their index and middle fingers resting on the left and right click buttons. I am curious to see exactly how well this mouse is going to be able to stack up against the competition, so let's get started.
Closer Look:
Taking a look at the packaging for the NZXT Avatar S, you'll notice that it is a well put together package that shows simplicity as well as a little bit of elegance. The NZXT logo is printed in the upper left hand corner of the package with the Avatar S logo printed along the right hand side in white with a black background. On the left half of the package is a cutout with a plastic covering that shows off the actual NZXT Avatar S inside instead of simply using a picture to display the mouse. As you can see, the actual mouse features the same color scheme as the package does, white and black. When you take a look at the back of the package, you'll see a list of features in the center; they are listed not only in English, but Dutch, French, and Spanish as well. At the top of the package, you will find the Avatar S logo printed in the left corner and a sketch of the mouse in the right hand corner. At the bottom of the package are three badges that give you the highlighted features that NZXT wanted you to know about, which happen to be 1600 DPI, 16Kb onboard memory, and LED on/off.
Now it's time to get the NZXT Avatar S out of the packaging. The entire mouse is a white color with black highlighting accents throughout the design of the mouse. Looking at the NZXT Avatar S mouse head-on, you will see that it has your typical two buttons with a scroll wheel in the center — there are no other buttons located on the front section of the mouse, like some others have for DPI adjustments and macros. When you look at the back-end of the mouse, you will see that the body is very narrow — the base of the mouse kind of flares out on either end to give the edges of your hand support on the mouse, but allows the NZXT Avatar S to fit directly in the center of your hand. On either side of the mouse, you will find a small button — these are going to be your backward and forward buttons in your web browser of choice. On the left hand side (looking from the back of the mouse), you will find the NZXT logo, which lights up when the mouse is plugged in and your computer is turned on.
Flipping the NZXT Avatar S over, you will see the laser sensor in the center — a Precision 1600 DPI sensor allowing you to have a maximum DPI setting of 1600 and a maximum acceleration of up to 20G. You are also going to find the Model Number, Rating, and the Serial Number on the bottom of the mouse. The NZXT Avatar S was designed in Los Angeles and has a SVDC 150MA rating. Again, looking at the front of the mouse, you will see that there are only the two mouse buttons with the scroll wheel that also has a down-click function. As mentioned before, there are side buttons on either side of the mouse.
The USB cable that is attached to the NZXT Avatar S measures out to be just around seven feet long, giving you plenty of length to route the cable where ever you may need it to go. The USB plug is gold-plated to give you the best connection possible and does require a USB 2.0 port for full functionality. The mouse reports to the USB port at a polling rate of 1,000Hz.
Since the entire NZXT Avatar S functions with out drivers, but does still allow you to adjust your DPI settings, there needs to be a way to adjust the DPI setting, as well as a feedback indicator that shows you which DPI setting you have currently enabled. The NZXT Avatar S allows for 1600, 800, and 400 DPI and is easily adjustable once you figure it out. Simply press the side button on the left hand side of the mouse and with that button depressed, use the scroll wheel up and down to select the DPI setting you wish. When you have the 1600 DPI setting selected, the NZXT logo will show up as blue, while 800 DPI is pink and 400 DPI is red.
Now that we know exactly what the NZXT Avatar S looks like, it is time to take a look at the specifications and features of the mouse.

Renewing the operating license of a nuclear power plant certainly can benefit a company and its community greatly. As the production cost of electricity from nuclear plants continues to drop, the value of generation from nuclear power increases. Given future U.S. nuclear plant license expirations, a significant amount of electrical generating capacity would be lost without license renewals. License renewal also creates "new" generation capacity at lower costs than using replacement generation from other sources.
What does Entergy Nuclear have to offer other nuclear companies in the field of license renewal? Experience. Knowledge. Dedication.
No one puts more into getting your licensed renewed than we do. Entergy Nuclear is the nation's fastest growing nuclear operating company. We've worked on 11 license renewal applications submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on behalf of seven operating companies. We know how to minimize your costs and how to minimize the impact on your plant resources. For example, the Arkansas Nuclear One Unit 1 license renewal application took the NRC only 17 months to review and approve -- the shortest time of any review to date. From preliminary studies to engineering and environmental evaluations, to application preparation and implementation, no one generates better results.
We're a proven partner. And your future is safe with us.

An ambitious initiative to eventually run RISC OS desktop software on Linux-powered PCs took a step closer to reality this month. Issues with the user interface code have been addressed, and a bootable CD is being prepared to demonstrate the system's abilities. The aim of the RISC OS Look and Feel project is to enable native RISC OS applications and Linux programs to run within a familiar looking desktop on modern hardware - allowing users' favourite software to run on systems that can also play DVDs, browse the latest web content, play games and use the latest gadgets. Developer Simon Willcocks said he is ready to produce a 'live CD' that includes basic components, including an iconbar, a filer, a terminal emulator, an image viewer, an MP3 player, NetSurf, Inkscape, and so on.

What the hell?
We should talk. Or perhaps not.
What the hell?
We should talk. Or perhaps not.
[Trigger warning for homophobia and violence]
Madame Secretary,
As you are undoubtedly aware, on Saturday, May 28, Moscow police stood idly by as protesters attacked participants in Moscow's pride parade. Following the attack, [TW] police arrested several victims of the attack, including at least two Americans. Just prior to the parade, Russian authorities revoked parade organizers' permit. Irrespective of the veracity rumors of police officers' participation in the beatings, this last minute withdrawal clearly set the stage for this year's parade to become the scene of violence, as has been the case in past years.
While I know you're busy, I ask you to indulge a personal tangent.
Ten years ago this March, my partner and I went on our first date. We spent a week traveling throughout Estonia and Latvia (how this came to be our first date is a somewhat longer story). It was truly a magical experience, and we both cherish our memories of holding each other close while we explored Riga's streets as winter sighed its last gasp.
Over the past ten years, our lives have changed. Seemingly ages ago, I came out as a transsexual woman. My partner and I are a very happy openly queer couple. We can't go back to Riga. We fear that even in flusher times, we won't be able to show our daughter the countryside from whence her ancestors fled war and poverty for life in the United States.
All that has changed in the last ten years is that my family no longer fits the narrow image that reactionary forces are willing to accept. This, and this alone, is enough to expose us to the threat of state-sanctioned violence.
Latvia is very proudly not Russia, and this is not about tourism.
There are people throughout Russia and throughout the world who are living in fear because of their governments' distaste of their gender or sexuality. Some of these people are American citizens, such as those beaten and arrested this past weekend.
I understand the importance and delicacy of America's relationship with the Russian government. However, I also understand the importance of our relationship with the Russian people– all of them.
I ask you to condemn the Russian government for its hateful, violent actions, and to reaffirm the United States' commitment to human rights.

Style # 217272
A dramatic asymmetric polyester chiffon skirt, plunging neckline and beautiful contrast trim make this bebe summer dress a total stand out. Try yours with a pair of strappy heels and statement earrings to land an instant going-out look.
- 100% polyester
- Center back to hem: 33" (84 cm)
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Asymmetric Colorblock Dress is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 4 out of 5 by SimpleBeauty from NOT TOO MUCH FOR CURVY WOMEN I tried this dress looking for a dress to wear to a bday party, tried the small (140lbs 34.27.42 for ref) and it fit well for the most part. It was a little loose in the chest area (I'm 34D) but I was planning to use double sided tape anyway, the strap for the waist doesn't stretch but it fit me fine. The problem I had however was the skirt area on the side where the zipper was. It was bunched up like the zipper was either sewed wrong into the dress or maybe my hips were too big. I tried the medium but the chest area was super big and unflattering and I still had the bunching problem with the skirt. The style is super cute but I decided to get something else.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kimmykat from Love this dress! This dress is beautiful! I got the black and white in XXS, which is my normal Bebe size (5'4'', 105 lbs). It is snug in the waist and there is no stretch to the fabric, but it does fit me in the waistline. I am not busty and have petite shoulders, so the top was a bit big. I had the straps taken in and now it is perfect. This dress is like a goddess dress, perfect for summer. You can't wear a regular bra with this, so you will have to go braless, I didn't want to do that so I found a plunge front backless bra and it worked great. My new favorite dress!!
Date published: 2013-06-27
Rated 4 out of 5 by Usagi from Pretty Dress I got this dress in the store in an XS. It fits high on waist as you can see...when I zip the dress up it's pretty perfect fitting on waist, which doesn't leave much room for comfy wear....my natural waist is 25inches. The red part of the dress that covers the bust is big on me, I'm a 32C. I still decided to get the dress because the back looks awesome and I can use double sided tape to help keep the bust section in place.
Date published: 2013-06-14
Rated 5 out of 5 by chicchick from Perfect summer dress! This dress is versatile enough to be worn on the beach or with heels for a night in the city. While the colors look red and yellow online, in person the dress is actually red and a bright orange, but it's still very nice. It wasn't until I put it on though, that I fell in love with it. It fits so well and is true to size. It's really lovely in person.

I have heard that it is difficult for a foreigner to get a bank account. Hence, opening up the account in the US may be a way to make this process easier. - Sam Back to top Ben Round de BlocJoined: 16 Jan 2003Posts: 1946 Posted: Wed May 28, 2003 1:05 pm Post subject: Just wondering Being naive about many things, I may be asking a question that has a very obvious (to everyone else) answer, but why are EFL teachers who plan to come to this country so concerned about having a Mexican bank account? Unless a teacher is paid by direct deposit, in which case employers usually open bank accounts for their employees, what are the reasons for having a Mexican bank account? Back to top Guy CourchesneJoined: 10 Mar 2003Posts: 9650Location: Guadalajara Posted: Wed May 28, 2003 2:37 pm Post subject: Banking I've never seen an ESL school open an account for a teacher, at least in DF, Morelos, Jalisco, and Guerrero. Maybe it's more common with a university like yours Ben. I think people want to open an account to avoid stinging commissions when using US accounts here in Mexico. We frequently work between a Mexican bank and banks in Canada, the US, and the UK and the commissions coming off our activities could fund Chiapas for a year (ok, maybe not THAT much). I'm not entirely sure on Citibank, but since it owns the largest bank here, Banamex, I imagine that it would offer the most comprehensive services. Back to top some waygug-inJoined: 07 Feb 2003Posts: 339 Posted: Fri May 30, 2003 1:18 am Post subject: The short answer, no. The long answer, well it depends. You can use your ATM card to access your American bank account, but you can not do much else. Don't expect Citibank branches in Mexico to be overly helpful in this regard. I don't know how, but my first employer opened an account for me with Bannorte. It was quite simple for them to do and all the teachers had them. We were paid by direct deposit. Maybe it had something to with the fact that my employer was in San Luis Potosi and I was working in Queretaro. I know it must be possible for corperate customers, but for average people, it's not so easy. Anyway, buena suerte Some waygug-in Back to top lozwichJoined: 25 May 2003Posts: 1536 Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2003 5:11 am Post subject: Hmm... So, can I take it from this that its perfectly ok for foreigners to open bank accounts in Mexico? I've been following keenly (but with a little confusion) the apostilling thread, and now I'm wondering what I'll have to bring to be able to open a bank account also? I'm Australian, if that has any impact on anything... lozwich Back to top Guy CourchesneJoined: 10 Mar 2003Posts: 9650Location: Guadalajara Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2003 12:52 pm Post subject: The bottom line The summary: if the schooll you work for opens an account for you, problem solved. If not, use the FM3 work permit to open an account. If you don't get a permit, then you probably can't open an account. If all is in doubt. Keep around some traveler's checks for emergencies.

Market Tour: The Famous Cours Saleya Nice, France
The Cours Saleya is a famous open-air market just a block off the beach in Nice's Old Quarter. It's open every day, although on Mondays the vegetables and farmers are replaced by antiques dealers.
Most of the produce here is resold; it's bought wholesale at the airport or port by resellers who bring it to the open market. There are a few local producers, though, who have tables off to the side. (You can see olives and carrots from one of these vendors in the last photograph.)
The most famous part of the Cours Saleya is the flower market; there are rows of fresh flowers and plants covered by brightly striped awnings. But there are also plenty of stands selling fruit, vegetables, sweets, preserves, honey, Provençal soaps, olive oil, cheeses, cured meats, fish, and tourist knickknacks. You've never seen lavender until you've stepped into a Provençal tourist trap!
We were there in November, and some of the most common fruits and vegetables included persimmons (kaki), apples, clementines (with their leaves still on), wax-dipped pears, sweet and seed-filled grapes that tasted like honey, purple artichokes, garlic, leeks, chard, and uncured olives. In some of the photos you can see the round plastic trays the vendors hand you. You fill it up with produce then hand it back to be weighed and counted. It made it easier on us non-French-speakers, too!
One of the most popular booths there carried many different salts and spices, heaped up in gorgeous colored mounds for the shoppers (and tourist cameras).
Click through the thumbnails above for some of our favorite sights and memories of this sunny, beautiful market.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times both ran profiles of U.S. Soccer manager Jurgen Klinsmann, two articles with very similar information but very different narratives. The Journal described Klinsmann as trying to make "U.S. soccer better by making it more American," while the Times piece teases: "How Jurgen Klinsmann Plans to Make U.S. Soccer Better (and Less American)".
The Journal argued that Klinsmann latches onto "the defining American characteristic -- a visceral hatred of being dictated to" -- and that we Americans want to "take things in your own hands," on and off the field. American soccer, the Journal believes, is making a transition from rigid, structured formations to free-flowing creativity, which will require incredible fitness. The Times, on the other hand, references "big bodies" and "physical aggression." These concepts overlap considerably, yet one is called more American and the other less American.
In their own ways, both pieces are correct. Klinsmann is disposing of historical American soccer traits for newer, traditionally continental concepts, by heavily recruiting European players with American eligibility. But, as the Times piece intelligently details, nearly all soccer teams are becoming multinational, both in roster composition and tactics. Italy plays like Brazil, Brazil plays like Germany, Germany plays like Spain, and everybody tries to play like Barcelona except for Atletico Madrid, who plays a bit like Italy used to.
Those teams are eschewing their previously established tactical identities, but American soccer was characterized not by tactics as much as by a mindset, albeit a nebulous one. To say that working hard is an inherently American trait is bizarre, just as saying creativity is a European one. The fault lies in pegging American soccer to any kind of national character. American soccer has pegged itself to -- and is now trying to break from -- a national identity that was never accurate to begin with.
* * *
The Journal compares Klinsmann to French political philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville, who characterized the American spirit in the 1830s as more brawn than brain. "The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation," he wrote in Democracy in America, "but rather in her ability to repair her faults." This has been, and probably still is, the American soccer ethos: We will make up for our mistakes with muscle and hustle.
This strategy never worked. As Noah Davis wrote, American soccer history is an assortment of minor victories nestled between total failures. Likewise, Will Leitch pointed out that no era of American soccer is worthy of nostalgic idolization. Similarly, the America that de Tocqueville traversed is hardly worthy of our admiration. That America was expanding rapidly as a direct result of killing the natives and stealing their land, and 15 percent of its people were in chains.
In his two years traveling this country, de Tocqueville saw something special in the American spirit, a notion that still appeals to us 180 years later. Klinsmann's predecessor Bruce Arena recently expressed some ideas that best can be described as soccer isolationism. "I believe an American should be coaching the national team," he told the Times. "I think the majority of the national team should come out of Major League Soccer. The people that run our governing body think we need to copy what everyone else does, when in reality, our solutions will ultimately come from our culture."
It's the soccer version of "American exceptionalism" -- another idea that dates back to de Tocqueville, who wrote:
"The position of the Americans is therefore quite exceptional … their strictly Puritanical origin, their exclusively commercial habits, even the country they inhabit, which seems to divert their minds from the pursuit of science, literature and the arts, the proximity to Europe, which allows them to neglect these pursuits without relapsing into barbarism …"
Here is a classic example of a turn of phrase morphing into a concept entirely divorced from its original meaning. De Tocqueville believed that our proximity to Europe's intellectual rigor compensated for our shortcomings in that area. He was not arguing for American superiority at all, but rather that circumstances gave us certain advantages that other countries lacked. The term is now used most often to suggest moral and economic superiority, bearing no resemblance to de Tocqueville's original meaning.
In The Narcissism of Minor Differences: How America and Europe are Alike, UCLA historian Peter Baldwin makes a convincing data-driven case for America's similarity to the European Union. By the 21st century, our attitudes regarding free trade and the free market have actually aligned with Europe's. Our unions strike about as often as their Italian counterparts. There are fewer guns in America per person than in Finland. For all de Tocqueville wrote about the glories of American participatory democracy, a smaller percentage of our population now votes than in Europe. Baldwin's work shows that every meaningful difference between the U.S. and E.U. -- murder rates, child poverty levels, prison population -- can be traced to the one truly identifiable feature of American society, past and present: our shameful plundering of minorities.
* * *
Since 1990, American soccer has embraced the idea that it can win without being like Europe. This means different things to different soccer fans, but it's a way to preserve that anti-European American identity while enjoying a non-American sport. As a strategy, it's meaningless.
American soccer differentiated itself from the European game only because it had to. Italy could have played an attacking style at any point, but it chose not to until recently. In the 1950s, Brazil adopted an individualistic, talent-driven style, because they had five of the best forwards in the world on the same team. England typically has deployed a rough defensive style, relying on long balls, because it fit their talent pool. Likewise, American soccer has relied on physical prowess and lots of running, because that's what you do when you don't have the instincts and skills to be in the right place at the right time. The team developed its identity not to align with American ideals, but because it was not very good at soccer.
But we are getting better, and as a result we are evolving. Largely due to an influx of continental players, the U.S. team has options now and is reaching beyond its previous identity, the way a toddler goes from a crawl to a walk. It's a natural progression of a growing, improving entity, and here again, it has very little to do with a national identity.
We are not that different from Europe, but we are very different from what we imagine ourselves to be. The German journalist Josef Joffe once said that America is "less a country [than a] canvas, a continent-size Rorschach blot, on which to project their own preoccupations." His observation holds true for American soccer. We can look at the same manager and come to two diametrically opposed conclusions as to whether he is a representation of American ideals, because America is whatever you want it to be.

Cool! I love your double ball idea Tom. And one could make it below the bar, above the bar, or even both without taking up too much space I think?
I also did a setup on my bar. Hope to test it fully his weekend.
Excellent idea, and suggestions to test out. My first thought, after drawing the "upside-down" idea, was that: As the kiter powers up the kite, the middle ring will move down towards the bar, and this would limit the 'throw' of the bar...unless the middle ring can pass through the bar hole. This situation could be avoided by making the rope a lot longer, so that the middle ring never, in practical use, gets drawn down to the point, where it would encounter the bar hole.faklord wrote:OK I'm back on it....
A couple more thoughts (possible improvements?):
a) The whole system can be turned upside down. This has a number of pros & cons:
Less force required to depower.
Maximises overall depower. Ie the middle ring moves away from the kiter as depower is applied, giving Max bar throw at max depower – I think this is probably the safer option?
More lines through the bar. Though, this isn't a problem if you using an eyebolt modified bar & use something like Tomatkin's ingenious prussic ball to provide a floating 'label' for the lines. (put it on the line that goes to the top ring -> pull to depower, push to power up.)
b) If one of the rings is replaced with a shackle, the main line can be made with spliced loops at the ends – much neater & easier as in-field replacement.
the normal Zeeko set up is to flag to one front line. but can act more like a 5th line in strong winds, which is good, the bar video shows this.harviento wrote:Does the safety line on the Zeeko bar flag to one line or both front lines?
ZigZag,ZigZag wrote:@ Tomatkins: I noticed your eye bolt has a gap in it that might catch or chafe on your depower line. I used a welded stainless steel ring bolt on one bar I modified. The other bar used a stainless steel eye nut and a piece of threaded bar that I cut off a stainless steel set screw.
The threaded bar was epoxied into a hole drilled in my kite bar. Initially I had mounted the eye nut loose on the threaded bar, so that it could rotate slightly as I turned the kite, but I found that irritating, and eventually epoxied it to the thread.
@ Faklord, you mount your ring below the bar, because you ride your bar with one hand close to the middle, fingers straddling the depower line. I presume this is because you ride unhooked. I never ride unhooked, and find I can control the kite adequately with one hand positioned to the side of the depower line.

Technical FAQs
Technical FAQs
Setpoint Potentiometer: 220 psig. Condenser Head Pressure Control
Minimum Output Potentiometer of the Pressure transducer: 0%. The minimum output potentiometer controls the minimum signal sent to the motor. It is adjustable from 0-100%. If this is adjusted to 60%, the motor will allways run at 60% minimum. The motor will ramp up to 100% as needed but will always run at at least 60%. It is recommended to leave this at 0%.
Throttling range of the pressure transducer controller: 100 psig. The throttling range potentiometer controls how far the system pressure must deviate from the control set point to generate a 100% output signal from the control. It is adjustable from 10-100 psig. To maximize sound reduction and energy savings and to provide the most stable control, it is recommended this setting be left at 100 psig.
Integration Dip Switch: 4 on ; 1,2,3 off The integration constant switch provides ability to change controller from a proportional only control to a proportional plus integral control. To provide the most responsive system to maintain a stable head pressure, it is recommended this setting be left on "fast," which is 4 on, 1, 2, 3 off.
J1 Jumper Position integration Dip Switch: Direct Acting (DA) mode. The reverse acting/direct acting jumper is used to ensure the controller responds correctly to maintain desired head pressure. In DA mode, the motor speed increases as the pressure rises above desired set point. For proper condenser operation, this jumper MUST be in DA mode. Failure to ensure J1 jumper is in direct acting mode will cause the system to trip on high head pressure.

The NHL and players association resumed labor talks Friday on the 20th day of the lockout.
"We met with the Union today in Toronto," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an email. "We are supposed to touch base over the weekend. Nothing more to report."
The meeting took place a day after the NHL canceled the first two weeks of the regular season, wiping out 82 games from Oct. 11-24.
Jonas Blixt shot his second straight 7-under 64 for a share of the 36-hole lead with Brendon de Jonge (66) in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas. Both were at 14-under 128. Ryan Moore, who tied the TPC Summerlin record Thursday with a 61, was one stroke behind after a 68. John Daly was 10 under after a 63.

Adams State University president David Svaldi on Wednesday said his school "takes no pleasure" in its proposed 16 percent annual tuition rate hike.
The increase would add $611 to bills for full-time, in-state students, bringing the tuition cost to $4,416. Out-of-state students face a 2 percent increase to $8,882.
But to mitigate the impact on students from one of the poorest areas in the state, the institution said it will cover the increased costs for many San Luis Valley students beginning next fall.
The San Luis Valley Promise Award guarantees that qualifying students from the region will receive school grants that, when packaged with federal aid, will cover their tuition and fees, plus provide money for incidental educational expenses.
To be eligible for the award, students from 22 high schools in the region must meet certain criteria. Among them: Students must be eligible for a full federal Pell Grant, which will equal about $5,600 in the 2013-14 school year. The school will then chip in roughly $3,000 to cover fees and incidentals.
About 300 students, or 15 percent of the entire student body, would qualify under the plan this year, according to school officials. Overall, about 30 percent of the student body comes from the San Luis Valley.
The award would be renewable if students maintain satisfactory academic progress of a 2.0 grade-point average with 75 percent completion of attempted credits.
Adams State has students from every county in the state, with about half of the students coming from outside the San Luis Valley. While those students will not be eligible for the Promise Award, officials say their financial aid should increase enough to cover the proposed hike.
The Adams State Board of Trustees will vote in May on the proposed tuition boost.
"It's not over until it's over," Svaldi said, noting the board may not accept the administration's recommendation. "Even if it does reach (16 percent), we still have the lowest costs of any four-year institution in the state."
The proposed increase at Adams State comes not long after other state schools floated news of potential tuition increases. Both the University of Colorado and Colorado State University have 9 percent hikes on the table. Metro State University of Denver will begin budget discussions in April, with a vote coming in June. It is limited by law to no more than a 9 percent tuition hike.
In 2010, the state legislature passed a bill giving schools a five-year window (between 2011-12 and 2015-16) to raise tuitions to offset decreases in state funding. While the law limited increases to 9 percent, schools could go over that amount by submitting a financial accountability plan to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.
Metro State's plan, for example, allowed it to raise rates by 12.5 percent in 2011-12, and 13 percent for the current year, but limits further increases to no more than 9 percent for the next three years.
Eric Carpio, Adams State's assistant vice president of enrollment management, said that while the school was within its rights under the law to raise its rates, there was still the desire to help its core student group. According to the school, the average family adjusted gross income is $24,000 for its students.
"With the costs of college increasing and state funding decreasing, students from the Valley really don't have the opportunity to go somewhere else for school," he said. "Kids on the Front Range can live at home or go to a community college or somewhere like Metro. For high school students here, their only opportunity to get a degree from a four-year institution is often Adams State."

Stripes and florals
Added Jun 22, 2013
by Redsonia
Piedmont, Italy
Recently I have been immersed in the fascinating art of Italian cuisine, so I sewed little. On my last visit to my favourite fabric shop I spotted this trendy floral striped fabric and was literally blown away by it. I took the last 90 cm remnant piece and decided to sew a mini dress. The fabric called for simple design as it was a pity to cut this fabulously fashionable print. The pattern from the June issue of Burdastyle magazine ( 7/2013_112) was the love from the first sight: V-neckline, no darts, easy to wear, comfy and casual at the same time.
I finished the neckline with the bias binding made from the main fabric. A couple of hours and an essential piece is added to my summer wardrobe.

Arsenal full-back Bacary Sagna has admitted he could leave Arsenal after his contract expires in 2014.
It was reported in December that Sagna was considering his future in north London after receiving what he considered an unacceptable contract extension offer from the Gunners.
Sagna has also been vocal in his criticism of Arsenal for letting key players including Robin van Persie and Alex Song leave the club last summer.
That earned him a reprimand from Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, who is unlikely to be impressed with the 29-year-old's comments in an interview with AtlantiqueFootballClub.com, in which he admitted he could leave at the end of his current contract.
When asked if he wanted to leave Arsenal to win trophies, Sagna replied: "Honestly I am under contract with Arsenal, and I will see out my contract with the club.
"After that is a difficult question. Before leaving, because I will leave here one day, I would like to win something with my club. "
"I don't want to answer yes or no now because in football you never know what will happen."
Sagna also spoke of the importance of losing Van Persie once more, and admitted it was a double-blow that the Dutchman joined Premier League rivals Manchester United.
"He [Van Persie] carried the team on his own last season," the defender said. "And the fact that he is now with Manchester United, this is huge.
"To have a player like van Persie makes a huge difference.
"He is awesome. Some of the things he does are incredible. Since my arrival at Arsenal, he has had a lot of injuries, but still he scored loads of goals.
Arsenal currently sit in 6th place, seven points behind rivals Tottenham in the race for Champions League qualification, although they can close that gap with victory in their game in hand against West Ham tonight.

Torch Relay
Torch Relay Lights the Way in Markham
Nothing could dampen the spirit of thousands of residents who came out on Saturday, June 27, to watch 88 torchbearers carry the Pan Am Flame through Markham leading up to the Pan Am Games.
Starting at 10 a.m. from Cornell Community Centre and Library, where hundreds gathered to cheer on Robert Latcham, the first torchbearer in Markham who led the relay for the day. PACHI, along with the Mayor and Members of Council, travelled the entire route stopping at several significant locations around the City to teach the PACHI Wiggle to children, and help get the community excited about the Games.
The day ended with a celebration and fun for all as PACHI and his team whipped up some laughs at the Markham Civic Centre. Eager spectators watched Gillian Apps bring in the torch for its final leg in Markham, ending the day on a Gold note!
View photo highlights of the Torch Relay on Markham's Flickr page.
"This project was made possible [in part] by the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario."
«Ce projet a été rendu possible [en partie] grâce au gouvernement du Canada et le gouvernement de l'Ontario.»
The Pan Am Flame arrives at Civic Centre
PACHI gets the crowds cheering with his signature PACHI Wiggle
Robert Latcham, whose family donated the land on which Markham-Stouffville Hospital is built, started the day off by carrying the Pan Am Flame from Cornell Community Centre & Library
Cailey Stollery, President of Angus Glen Golf Club, passed the torch to Sarah Wells at the Angus Glen Golf Club – where golf premiered at the Pan Am Games.
Honourable Michael Chan, MPP, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade, looks on as the torch is handed over at the Taste of Asia festival.
Patrick O'Hanlon kept going despite the rain, as did a number of other torchbearers who ran on Saturday, June 27, including Felipe Angarita and Dallyssa Huggins.

Johann Adolph Hasse Il Sassone (1699 - 1783) was for a
number of decades the most prolific and popular composers of opera
seria in Italy and German-speaking countries. He was '...a German with
the musical passions of an Italian...' A close association with Metastasio
and a series of important positions in the musical world meant that his
works were presented in an appropriate manner in some of the major
theatres of the time from London through Italy and Germany to Vienna.
The Hasse Project plans to make more of his music available through

Company News
Wisconsin Dells, Wis., August 17, 2009 – U.S. Cellular recently completed construction of an additional cell site in the Wisconsin Dells area to improve call quality for its customers. The new site will increase U.S. Cellular's coverage at Christmas Mountain and along Highway H between Wisconsin Dells and Reedsburg.
"Your cell phone is your lifeline to the people who are most important to you," said Chris Rathsack, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Wisconsin. "We're here to keep you connected."
This new site is part of U.S. Cellular's recently-launched 3G Mobile Broadband network in Wisconsin, which allows customers to access data on their cell phones 10 times faster than before and at no additional cost. With 3G speeds browsing the Web on a smartphone is very similar to the experience on a desktop computer. Web pages open faster and customers can send and receive large e-mail attachments. Downloads with average speeds of 768 Kbps, take less time and picture and video messages are delivered more quickly. Uploads have an average speed of 200 Kbps. The difference is like going from dial-up to DSL on your desktop.
U.S. Cellular has a team of network engineers who drive all over the coverage area to test signal strength and call quality. The company also listens to customer feedback to determine the best locations for new cell sites.
"The Wisconsin Dells to Reedsburg corridor needed additional quality wireless service. As a result, we identified the area as a priority," added Rathsack. U.S. Cellular has led the effort to preserve federal support for rural wireless development through Connecting Rural America (www.connectingruralamerica.org), a grassroots coalition of concerned citizens, community leaders and elected officials working for equality in wireless telecommunications. Its goal is to provide rural communities with the same access to technology as their urban counterparts.
About U.S. Cellular
The 9,000 associates of U.S. Cellular believe a wireless phone enhances people's lives and a wireless company should be in the business of bringing people together. U.S. Cellular has a wide range of monthly plans, including those with unlimited nationwide calling, unlimited free incoming calls and options to prepay. The company has a growing catalog of phones like the BlackBerry® Curve, HTC Touch Pro and the touch-screen Samsung Delve, which offer e-mail and Web access. Based in Chicago, U.S. Cellular is the nation's fifth-largest full-service wireless carrier, serving 6.2 million customers across the country.
