Vacuum Feedthroughs are components which allow a connection between a vacuum filled chamber and the dry atmosphere outside. Electrical Feedthroughs allow current and/or voltage to pass into vacuum environments without loss of pressure. Fluid Feedthroughs allow gases or coolants to flow into vacuum environments.
Electrical Feedthroughs
Coaxial Feedthroughs are feedthroughs with two concentric conductor pathways. One cylindrical conductor path enclosed by and concentric with an outer metal shield path. The two paths are insulated and separated by a high purity alumina ceramic dielectric.
Power Feedthroughs allow high voltage, high current, or both to be transmitted. These feedthroughs can be used in applications such as electron-beam evaporation, DC plasma sputtering, and other coating applications, as well as vacuum furnaces. The ceramic can either be made very long, if space is available, or it can be made with many overlapping coils to save space. The smaller convoluted ceramics are preferable for environments where moisture or surface contaminants may restrict electrical performance of the regular long insulator. Ceramic surfaces on the air-side are usually coated with glass to make the surface smoother, and also reduce surface contamination which enhances the insulator. Some power feedthroughs can transmit coolants and power at the same time. The components should be close looped grounded systems and/or the coolants used should be either ethylene glycol or deionised water. These water cooled feedthroughs can carry higher current loads than regular ones of equal size.
Fluid Feedthroughs
General Fluid Feedthroughs are designed to allow water as a cooling medium to travel into a cavity under vacuum. These Feedthroughs are an inexpensive way to allow cooling water to enter a vacuum system. These components are available in different types of tube endings, eg Swagelok® and VCR®.
Cryogenic Fluid Feedthroughs are specifically designed to allow liquid nitrogen as a cooling medium to travel into a cavity under vacuum. Because of the extremely cold temperatures of liquid nitrogen, these feedthroughs are made with dual and coaxial geometries. The coaxial space within these tubes is oriented on the vacuum side of the feedthrough and provides a thermal shield which prevents most condensation and buildup of ice on the atmosphere side of the feedthrough. This is because ice buildup around the flange could cause the seal to lose integrity and the overall system to lose pressure.
AVT Services Pty Ltd are the official agents for MDC and ISI which produce electrical and fluid feedthroughs with the highest of quality ceramic to metal bonds, and which are delicately made and tested ensuring the non-compromise of low pressure chambers to atmospheric leakage. Please Contact us for more information regarding these and other vacuum products.

Don't miss this upcoming program!
Working primarily with photography, often incorporating it into sculpture and installation, Alex Hartley's work addresses complicated and sometimes contradictory attitudes toward the built and natural environments. Encounters with buildings are grounded by conventions and expectations, but Hartley shows us new ways of physically experiencing and thinking about our constructed surroundings - through surface and line, scale and materials, locations and contexts. His practice is wide ranging, comprising wall-based sculptural photographic compositions, room-sized architectural installations and, more recently, unique photographic works with sculptural elements inserted as low-relief into the surfaces of large-scale colour prints. Uniting these works is an investigation of modern architecture and the ways in which it is conceived and presented. Often destabilising ideas of 'iconic' architecture, Alex Hartley's practice allows room for multiple perceptions of and uses for architecture.
Born in 1963, Alex Hartley lives and works in London. Hartley has shown in both national and international exhibitions at venues including Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh (2007), Natural History Museum (2006), Distrito Cuatro, Madrid (2003), The National Museum of Art, Osaka, Japan (2001) and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark (2000).

Vision Self-healing Self-help
Improve Eyesight And Vision Health Through Eye Exercises Based On The Bates Methoddigests, Extracts, And Summaries Of Books On Vision Improvement. With More Than 30 Illustrations And Many Eye Exercises, The Blueprint Is Easy To Follow And Practice. The Bates Method is the simplest and the most natural method to improve vision and to protect the eye. Here is a simple explanation of The Bates Method for the layman: The eye changes its shape constantly because the eye conditions and the environment surrounding the eye are also constantly changing. When the eye changes its shape, it also changes the shape of its lens, and a distorted lens accounts for the refractive error (e.g. nearsightedness and farsightedness). Good vision is based on how effective and efficient is the eye in adapting and accommodating itself to these constant changes. Wearing glasses or contacts impairs vision, because it deprives you of your natural eye accommodation, which is the ability to adapt itself to constant changes. To illustrate, you naturally take off your sunglasses when you go indoors; wearing corrective lenses is like orcing yourself to put on your sunglasses even when you go indoors and the light is dim in this way, you strain your eyes unknowingly, and hence the refractive error continues. To correct vision, removing glasses or contacts is a must because wearing them only further damages vision. The apparent catch-22 situation: wearing glasses or contacts is bad for the eye, but not wearing them deprives an individual of clear vision. So the critical question is: To wear or not to wear? Dr. Bates' solution: Accept blurry vision temporarily, and you will see better when your vision improves. But, meanwhile, do not strain you eyes to see more clearly! You will see clearly after your eyes have improved, and not before that! The Bates Method is simple: Relax the eye to prevent the eye from changing its shape, and therefore instrumental in making it more accommodating to the constant changes.

Trying a Trio of Shoulder Stands
(UNG Don't attempt any of these postures if you're pregnant have high blood pressure or a hiatal hernia are overweight, even moderately so have glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or neck problems or are in the first few days of your period. Also, don't use a mirrored wall, because you can injure yourself if you fall.
Yoga Helps You Maintain Recover or Improve Your Health
Disturbance, chronic headache, and lower back pain. Yoga can help improve your cardiovascular functions, digestion, and eyesight and even enable you to control pain. You can practice Yoga as both remedial and preventive medicine. You can't find a cheaper health and life insurance policy Moreover, Yoga is pain-free. In fact, Yoga helps overcome all forms of suffering (see Chapter 20).
Cultivation Of Perception
They see a great difference between having a sharpened perception, on the one hand, and being a slave to the senses on the other. For instance, what would be thought of a man who objected to acquiring a keen eyesight, for fear it would lead him away from higher things, by reason of his becoming attached to the beautiful things he might see. To realize the folly of this idea, one may look at its logical conclusion, which would be that one would then be much better off if all their senses were destroyed. The absurdity, not to say wickedness, of such an idea will be apparent to everyone, after a minute's consideration.
Mudras Agochari Mudra
At first agochari mudra will seem a little strange and difficult, for it requires a fixed gaze at the nose tip. The eyes have to assume a position to which they are normally unaccustomed. But with practice the eye muscles will adapt themselves to their new role, strengthening the eyes and in turn improving the eyesight. Agochari mudra, if practised for some time with awareness, can induce high states of concentration and tranquillity of mind.
Change Your Bad Money Karma
Your money karma is carried out in life through the planers, through your personal astrology. I recommend that you find out which planets are directly involved in creating financial hardships for you and do some remedies to change those bad influences. You may ask, If I am doing Thiru Neela Kantam, why bother with planets The answer to this question is Thiru Neela Kantam is your general physician. He knows everything about your body, but he needs to send you to an eye doctor or an orthopedic doctor as the need arises.
Sarvangasana Shoulderstand
Sarvangasana (pronounced SAHR-vahn-GAH-sah-nah) is a great inversion that stimulates the thyroid gland and the Mercury chakra (located in the throat). It reverses the pull of gravity on your internal organs and reduces the strain on your heart, because your heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump to the extremities when inverted. The shoulderstand helps with varicose veins purifies the blood nourishes the brain, lungs, and heart strengthens the eyesight and is a great headache remedy.
Mandalas Goin Round in Circles
While a mantra is meant to soothe the body and mind through sound, a mandala is meant to center the mind through sight. Mandalas are beautiful, usually circular, geometric designs that draw your eye to the center. Mandala means circle or center, and the designs suggest the circular patterns that exist in so many levels of life, from atoms to solar systems. Mandalas represent a pilgrimage to enlightenment. As you focus on the center of the mandala, you'll notice the outer parts shifting and changing in your peripheral vision eventually, your focus will become clear, and the center will be all that you see.
Most teachers also suggest that the headstand not be done during menstruation. Chronic or acute neck pain, excess weight, and osteoporosis are other obvious contraindications, as are glaucoma and other eye problems. We'll discuss the headstand in relation to right-to-lefi musculoskeletal imbalances later in this chapter.
Yoga Makes Work Less Work
Eyestrain can result from staring at a computer all day. Try a yoga fix Keeping your head still, look up as far as you can, focus on something, and count to three. Look down, focus, and count to three. Repeat six or seven times, focusing in different directions, then close your eyes and rest. When you open your eyes, they'll feel remarkably refreshed.
Oh My Aching Head
It's the rare individual indeed who can say he or she has never suffered from a headache. Unfortunately, it's often difficult to find the source of a headache. Headaches can be caused by a negative reaction to a certain food, air pollution, allergies, sinus problems, eyestrain, stress, and any number of other factors. Try eliminating suspected sources of regular headaches, such as caffeine, poor posture, or a particular food. If your headache is severe or your headache patterns change, see a doctor. For occasional, irregular headaches, however, your best bet may be to step up your yoga practice to put your body in the best possible condition for curing itself.
School Days
> Feeling a lot of tension in your back Sit up straight. Keep both knees and feet together and facing forward. Twist your upper body. Bring one arm around the back of your chair. Do not overtwist your neck. Look behind you. This movement improves circulation to the spine and brain. It also improves flexibility and eyesight.
The Sixth Lesson
Ened perception, on the one hand, and being a slave to the senses on the other. For instancy what would be thought of a man who objected to acquiring a keen eyesight, for fear it would lead him away from higher things, by reason of his becoming attached to the beautiful things he might see. To realize the folly of this idea, one may look at its logical conclusion, which would be that one would then be much better off if all their senses were destroyed. The absurdity, not to say wickedness, of such an idea will be apparent to everyone, after a minute's consideration.
Even this statement is not true, for you actually are the cosmic consciousness. So the aim of yoga is not really to unite you with anything, for you are already united. It is to make you realize your identity with the greater Self, to make you know and tune in with your existing inner nature. Yoga is so called (i.e. union) because it is seen and defined in terms of everyday normal life, where each person feels separation from, or does not comprehend the possibility of a higher being. In other words, yoga is seen as union from the point of view of personal identity. At a higher level of awareness there is no separation or any distinction between the so-called individual and consciousness. It is our low level of awareness that clouds the issue and prevents us realizing this identification. There is a beautiful and often quoted Indian story illustrating this point. The general theme is that there is a large elephant being held at different parts of its body by a number of blind men. Each...
Pran Mudra
The Pran Mudra generally increases vitality, reduces fatigue and nervousness, and improves vision. It is also used against eye diseases. On the mental-emotional level, it increases our staying power and assertiveness, healthy self-confidence, gives us the courage to start something new, and the strength to see things through. Clear eyes are also a sign of a mental outlook emphasizing clarity and a clear mind, which means clearly structured thoughts and ideas.
Inversion optional
Even if you are ready for an inversion, we advise against practicing the shoulder stand or the half shoulder stand at the wall if any of the following conditions applies to you glaucoma, retinopathy, high blood pressure, a history of heart attacks or stroke, hiatal hernia, the first few days of menstruation, pregnancy, or 40 or more pounds of excess weight.

As announced earlier in the year, there are significant changes to how we'll be handling private porto rentals moving forward. These changes came about due to a few issues making the previous rental program untenable. Those issues will be explained below. Please read through this page fully and make sure you understand the new process before contacting staff about rentals.
Who can rent a private unit?
For 2017, private porto rentals will be made available only to approved fully themed tribes placed within the walls of Wasteland City.
Approved Theme Zone tribes placed outside the City gates and all other tribes/groups/individuals camping outside the Theme Zone will, unfortunately, not have the option to rent a private unit this year.
Our tribe was approved for Theme Zone. How do we know if we are inside or outside the City?
If your tribe was placed inside the City, the contact on your tribe's Theme Zone application will receive an email from River with further info on how to set up a rental. This email will go out shortly after the City layout is locked in.
This is a preliminary layout showing the Theme Zone. The area shaded in green is within the City walls. If your tribe is located in this zone, your tribe contact will get an email with private porto rental information once the layout is finalized.
(This is a preliminary layout and will likely be adjusted. For the purposes of private porto rentals, in-City location should remain the same.)
How many units can a City-placed tribe rent?
The number of units your approved City tribe will be able to rent will be indicated in the porto rental info email sent to the tribe contact from their Theme Zone application. Most tribes will only be able to rent one unit. A few exceptions will be made for City tribes with unusually large numbers.
Where will the private units be placed?
Another change for this year – private banks will be placed in separate groups from public units. This is to make servicing easier for our techs, and also to help reduce frustration for attendees looking for an unlocked unit. These private groups will be placed inside City blocks for the convenience and privacy of those tribes renting a unit. Public units will be in their own large, very visible and accessible groups.
Can tribes move a unit to their camp space?
No. All portos must remain in the porto banks where they were installed. This is for several reasons. The units are installed in a way to maximize stability in gusts of wind. Moving them undoes this and makes them very likely to fall over. Moving them tends to damage the underside of the units, and often leads to tipping and spills as we saw last year. The techs don't have time to hunt down a bunch of single units in random, unmarked locations for cleaning and restocking.
We'll just move our unit to our camp space like we did last year. No one will know.
We will know. Anyone caught moving any porto unit or having a unit in their camp will receive severe repercussions, including (but not limited to) non-reimbursed forfeit of their unit, negative consequences on future Theme Zone applications and Volunteer opportunities, and possibly immediate expulsion from the event. Don't.
Can we rent an ADA unit?
No. We will only have standard units available for private rental. Public ADA units will be available in many accessible locations to all attendees.
Additionally, ADA units are not manufactured to be lockable. Retrofitting them to lock as a private unit in previous years was excessively problematic and is no longer an option to us.
How do we rent a regular private porto?
An email with information will be sent to the tribe contact for approved Theme Zone tribes placed inside the City. That email will include the number of units available to rent, and a link to place the order. These emails will go out once the Theme Zone map has been finalized.
Do we still do the tribe sign and key stuff like last year?
Absolutely. That process will be the same as last year. Details about the sign requirements, sign placement, lock, and service key handoff will all be in the email sent to the City tribe contact.
We have friends camped outside the City that want to be able to use our private unit. Is that okay?
Totally okay. Who you give copies of your porto key to is your business. Just remember that the person placing the rental order is responsible for the condition of the unit, so overloading your rental with 45 of your closest friends is not going to end well for you. Plan your kindness accordingly.
But we really want our own unit. We'll just bring a lock and put it on a public unit like we did last year. No one will know.
We will know. Since private and public porto groups will be separated this year, there will be no such thing as secret locks.
This happened in disappointing numbers last year. It reduced the number of public units available, which overtaxed the remaining public units. It wasted far too much staff time. And this ended up being one of the biggest reasons we were forced to change the private rental program moving forward.
If we find a lock on a public unit, it will be cut. If we catch someone locking or using a locked public unit, they will be immediately removed from the event. If we find a lock on a public unit, we may even stake it out and make an example of the locker, because people like this are who ruined it for everyone and led to changes this year.
But we need more than the number of units offered to our tribe contact.
Unfortunately, we have a hard limit on stock and space to offer for rental. There will be a large number of public units available within a short walk of your location for your tribemembers to use in addition to the unit(s) you've rented. We've greatly increased the number of public units overall for this year, as well as added an additional service day, which should make a very significant impact on availability and "freshness."
We want six units, so we'll just have six tribemembers rent one unit each. HAH.
The process to rent a unit will only be given to the tribe contact for approved Theme Zone tribes in the City. One order per tribe. The ordering process is set up in a way to log and prevent any non-authorized orders, and attempts to charge a credit card will be automatically declined. Unauthorized attempts to order a private rental will be obvious on our end and noted. Clear attempts to abuse the ordering process will have consequences. Do not taunt happy fun ball.
We'll just have another company rent to us and have them deliver onsite.
The only sanitation company authorized to bring a portapotty unit onsite is the one we've contracted to provide all units for the event. This is for very specific liability, permitting, and insurance purposes. Our contracted sanitation vendor will not create any separate contacts for our event location, and they enjoy telling us who tried.
Any other sanitation company trying to enter the event will be turned away, but not before we learn who placed the order. Most other porto companies will have had their stock sub-let to ours to cover our overall unit counts , so finding one would probably be tough anyway.
Wow. This all seems really harsh. I don't like this at all.
It is pretty harsh. The rather drastic changes to the private porto rental program are a result of a few things.
The event has grown to a point where 2 – 3 people renting a unit became unsustainable for available stock numbers. Last year we sold out in 12 hours, and the number of private units was so large that there were portos everywhere. There's no nice way to have hundreds of private units everywhere.
The other big factor was abuse last year. We were inundated with scamming jerks putting locks on private units to fake a rental. You can blame people like that for ruining a cool thing.
We really wanted a private porto, but we didn't put in a Theme Zone application this year.
Realtalk for a moment: Private porto rentals were slated to be killed completely this year, but a hard-won compromise was found with allowing City-only tribes to rent. This gave us a new way to reward those tribes that truly went the extra mile bringing higher-level entertainment, activities, and theming to Wasteland Weekend. Renting a private unit is very much a privilege. As long as it goes well this year, we hope we can offer this privilege to the tribes that bring extra effort to the event for years to come.
Spend some time upping your tribe's game this year, and apply for a Theme Zone City spot in 2018! Rewards come to those who put in time making Wasteland the incredible space it is every year.

Continuing a long history of touring sides, CCFC sent two teams to the Isle of Wight over the Easter weekend for tournaments in the u13 and u14 age groups. Both teams gave a very good account of themselves and both teams won the Fair Play Awards in the age groups!! This is an achievement that brings great credit to the players, managers and the coaches. Although lifting trophies is considered as 'success', for a club like ours, with our history and philosophy, the Fair Play Awards are the pinnacle of achievement and the club is very proud of these teams for upholding and confirming our ethos.

After 4 year of dating, we tied the knot in a quiet solemnization ceremony on the 16th December 2016 with our families and close relatives. We tried to be as traditional as we could, complete with the wedding dais and formalities expected in a Muslim wedding ceremony, but we still managed to squeeze in a bit of geekdom in the aftermath because that's who we are. During the ceremony itself, we were as formal as we could be!
We had Royal Rias – Singlestitch by Me and Pippin Emerald – as our official bridal boutique and they were instrumental in ensuring that we had a beautiful set of bridal gown and modern-looking groom suit for the day. My cousin Kartini Mohd Gani from JG 1 Stop Services turned a boring-looking HDB void deck into something magical with her team's inspirational wedding decorations.
Special thanks to Shaun Koh of T25 Films for helping us with the lights (since our caterers whom we shall not name messed up big time lol) by bringing in his own studio lights to our wedding to ensure everything's well-lit. Those 1Kw lights sure come in handy!
Special thanks also to Daryl Epimaco aka The Lone Crow for helping us out with the sound system for the evening.
Our friends at Shamsydar Ani Photography covered our wedding in the most elegant way possible…
…right up to our poses with our lightsabers.
But this was us restrained. For those of you who know us well, you would know that we always go for the epic route.
My wife (who goes by the moniker Mizdesert at Alter Ego by MizDesert) and I have worked together for a few years now, coming up with themed photo series for our clients which you can see here or here or even here. She would do the special effects make-up on our clients while I work with the rest of our team to create images that tell stories.
We cosplay together, having fun at the various conventions we have attended – notably GameStart Asia and Singapore Toy, Game and Comic Convention.
Being inspired by some of the events we go to such as International Cosplay Day Singapore (ICDS) and some of our cosplayer friends, we decided to take our wedding a step further and turn it into an immersive experience for our guests. It would not just be a wedding event. It would be the Wedding Raid of the Year.
On the 17th December 2016, for our wedding reception, we turned Orchid Country Club's Grand Ballroom into a World of Warcraft raid complete with guests in medieval costumes, great food, soft lighting befitting Karazhan's Opera Event, tables named after cities, towns and states in the World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings mythology…
We even used music/score from World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean for a more epic, surreal, fantasy atmosphere.
We designed and made our own decorations, …
… table decorations/trinkets, …
… envelopes for invitation cards, …
…wedding posters, …
… invitational cards, …
… Save-the-Date posters, …
… movie trailers…
We were very selective in choosing our photographers and videographers for the day. For official photography, we had Raymond Phang and his team (Aaron Lin and Michael Chan), from Raymond Phang Photography. The following photos are by them.
As you can see, we got the immersive experience for our guests even before they step into the Grand Ballroom.
The twin flights of stairs lead guests up into our reception area, which is already grand by itself. Piped music from the Harry Potter series greet our guests. As I mingled with the crowd, I could not help but feel so happy to see some of them dressed in medieval costumes (some purchased, some made by themselves). Everyone was enjoying themselves. It was really cool!
I even designed and made our own pre-wedding photobook containing some of our photography works and selfies (I think it feels more personal this way and we love it this way too). Two copies were available in the reception area and guests could look through them to find out more about how we met.
Once the emcee for the day, Emcee Priscilla, gives the green light that all is in order in the Grand Ballroom, I stood in front of the guests near the entry way, got their attention, threw the doors open and declared "THE HOGWARTS SCHOOL IS OPEN! YOU MAY PROCEED!"
All this while, my wife is still hidden from view to surprise the guests later for our first walk-in.
Guests immediately made a beeline for their tables. They were informed beforehand by our lovely bridesmaids at the reception table. Given the table names and numbers, they became citizens of the cities, states or towns from World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings. Fun fact: The placement of cities, states and towns are in an order that mirrors the map for Azeroth and Middle-Earth (in their respective aisles). For Middle-Earth, it chronicles Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring's journey to Mordor.
It was just surreal looking at the guests in their costumes seated at their tables. You won't feel like you're in Singapore. You would feel you have been magically whisked away to a faraway fantasy world! Everyone looked fantastic and beautiful!
To top it off, we had our cake toppers (no pun intended). True to how it is in life, I would be her protector, and she would be my healer. Tank and healing meta FTW!
Our first walk-in ceremony was still a formal one, albeit with a twist. We rode in style – on a buggy driven by one of the staff of Orchid Country Club! Once again, we have Royal Rias – Singlestitch by Me and Pippin Emerald – as our official bridal boutique and they made us look good in our suit and wedding dress. Daryl Epimaco aka The Lone Crow manned the DJ console to ensure the soundtracks for the day ran in according to our playlist.
In the above photo, most of us were tearing in sadness because we had to go through the formal-look phase to throw our guests off-guard. By this time, most of them were telling us they wish we were in costume too!
Well, their wishes came true.
We were more than happy to oblige.
Our videographers – Siva Shanker of Chindianboy Studios, Kyhl Nuar and Penry Hoh got these footages and combined them, turning our epic walk-in into live BATTLE BRAWL!
So there it is, our epic wedding! And yeah, we didn't follow the canonical storyline for the lore. But who cares? We had fun. And plus, I had the Frostmourne with me!
Our wedding also received coverage in national news. What a way to start 2017! There's one on Berita Harian, Page 10, 3 Jan 2017 edition – also available at http://www.beritaharian.sg/setempat/majlis-kahwin-penuh-dengan-watak-fantasi and The New Paper at http://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore/tying-knot-epic-fashion (also available in hard copy but I couldn't get a copy in time).
Raymond Phang and his team did a spectacular job of placing us in front of Mordor (or somewhere similar). And yes, that's real rain. We were soaking wet during the post-wedding shoot in the lawns of Orchid Country Club.
We had our dream wedding.
We feel that due to what we do at The Art of Mezame (themed pre-wedding photoshoots for our clients), it is important to have a different and unique wedding that speaks of our characters and love for geekdom. We have all seen geek weddings, but we want to redefine this genre and go all out. We decided to create an immersive atmosphere – not just for ourselves but for our guests as well. We want the wedding to not just be an event, but an experience. Hence, the soundtracks from the game/movies, custom decorations that we made ourselves, the invitation for guests to dress up according to the medieval theme, the invitation cards that carry the Marauder's map that we personalized – all these fit our fusion theme of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
For me, Warcraft is more than just a game. I remember playing in Vanilla with friends. Those long nights reserved for raids, the feeling of building a camaraderie among guildmates, the sense of achievement at completing raids. It was an adventure. We are united by a common desire – to become heroes in our own ways.
Mizdesert: I guess it is important because these "geekdom" are what we both love and we don't want to have "just another generic" wedding that comes as a package offered at every wedding expo. Working with my husband as a makeup artist from Alter Ego by MizDesert, we really love to be hands-on in whatever we do and that is exactly how it was with the wedding planning. We included everything that meant alot to us in the wedding in the form of props, custom bridal outfits by Royal Rias, custom tabards and vests by our groomsman Daniel Yap and his wife Marja-Leena Yap, armor courtesy of our friends at Neo Tokyo Project and Kai Craft and Cosplay, custom-made Elven headpieces, geeky skit references (we literally had a battle for our second walk-in) and also by listening to over 600 different soundtracks just to handpick those that would suit the atmosphere of our wedding. It became more personal to us and I am sure it is something we both would remember fondly for a long time.

Craig Bellamy accused of insulting fans
West Ham striker and all round nice guy Craig Bellamy is back in the news for all the wrong reasons. The Welsh journeyman was allegedly involved in a not very polite exchange of words with a female supporter during last night's friendly between Ipswich Town and the Hammers.
Goaded as he left the field through injury, the former Norwich player is alleged to have responded with the colourful phrase 'F*cking Ipswich prostitutes.' It's not all that surprising for a player whose main claim to fame is attacking his then teammate John Arne Riise with a nine iron on the eve of a vital Champions League clash.
Craig's other good turns include allegedly assaulting women in nightclubs, racial abuse and, just when you thought it couldn't get any better, beating up a charity worker from his own Craig Bellamy Foundation in Sierra Leone after a night on the sauce. So, no Nobel Peace Prize and lunches with Bonio and Bob for Craig just yet then.

Oklahoma man kicks in door, saves woman and child from burning home
SAPULPA, Okla. (KTUL) —
"I just heard a big boom, bang and that's all I heard," said neighbor Cody Edwards.
An Oklahoma woman and her child are safe this morning due to the heroic actions of a neighbor.
"I just heard a big boom, bang and that's all I heard," said neighbor Cody Edwards.
Cody Edwards was up doing laundry when he saw flames out his window.
"Doing laundry at night saves on your electric bill," said Edwards.
And in this case, it may have saved lives.
Those flames engulfed his neighbors home and he knew he needed to help.
"I just came out the door and everything was orange, so I just ran over there, kicked in the side door and got them out of the house," said Edwards.
Saving a mother and her 11-year-old son, both asleep inside.
He even brought them inside his house to keep warm while firefighters went to work.
"I'm just glad everyone got out all right, they're safe and sound," said Edwards.
Besides the house, the family also lost their car, nearly lost their lives, and unfortunately, they also lost their cat and dog inside the home.
Firefighters couldn't find the family's pets.
And by the time the flames were out the home was gone.
"Our first thought, of course, is putting the fire out and save as much as we can and then we turn our attention to the residents and see what we can do to help them," said Battalion Chief Kyle Zickefoose.
Which means finding the family a place to stay.
"It's hard on everybody, especially when they leave out in their pajamas," said Zickefoose.
We're told the family denied any help from the Red Cross.
Meanwhile, Edwards says he was just helping a neighbor in need.
"Yea that's probably right, just at the right place at the right time," said Edwards.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The woman declined to speak on camera but says she and her son are doing okay.

According to the Bangladesh Disaster Management Bureau around 1.5 million people have been affected by this year flood. Rivers in the north started to rise in early July and by the 20th of July nearly all of them started to flow over the danger level. It caused floods in 6 districts, namely, Lalmonirhat, Kurigram, Gaibandha, Jamalpur, Sirajganj and Sunamganj initially and inundated crop fields and dwelling areas, washed away standing crops, houses and household's assets, livestock and displaced the affected people.
Bangladesh is one of the most climate change-vulnerable and disaster-prone countries. The rivers of this country are facing tremendous environmental anomalies. They overflow during the rainy season but shrink in other seasons. Floods in our country are directly or indirectly related to sub-Himalayan countries like India, Bhutan, and Nepal. An understanding should be made to protect the eco-system in the regions to minimize the risks of flash floods, and to share the water resources as per international laws.

Statement Regarding Vladimir Rhaegar and Omnibus
Australia last edited by
My fellow Europeans:
In Omnibus, we are seeing a crisis of unimaginable proportion. It is becoming increasingly clear that our Union must act and ensure that the rule of law and democracy is upheld. As it is a requirement that proper representative democracy is instituted to be a member of our European Union, the clear reaching steps of Omnibus to pay of Senators, propose suspending the rule of law, calls of revolution, and chaos through illness are threatening that very tenet for our brothers in Omnibus. I call on the people of Omnibus to remain calm, for the Senate of Omnibus to remember that they are representatives by the will of the people, and for Vladimir Rhaegar to stop his acts of disregard for democracy. Europe is watching, and she will not sit idly by.

I would like to change the retention of a file to the retention of a volume.
a volume for which at the start no retention was defined, now got retention "infinite".
In this volume reside records with a retention date in the past.
I know how to set the extension of these records to a certain date up to 2071,
but I would like to set the retention of these records to the extension of the volume, that is to inifinite.
How can I do this?
Thanks a lot,

She tried to settle her claim with the insurance company who insured the at-fault driver but they did not want to pay her fairly.
Last week, I tried a personal injury case. My client was seriously injured in a car accident. She tried to settle her claim with the insurance company who insured the at-fault driver but they did not want to pay her fairly. She hired my firm to represent her and I'm happy to report that a jury came up with a verdict that was fair – about four times what the insurance company offered to settle the case.
As always, I found the jury selection part of the case to be quite interesting. Jury selection is the part of the trial where the judge and the lawyers for both sides have the opportunity to question prospective jurors. This is done to ensure that the jury would be fair to both parties. In questioning the prospective jurors, many of them, as usual, mentioned things like, "People are too sue happy in our society." Not one of the potential jurors said that they thought corporations are too sue happy.
So why is this so interesting to me? For a long time, Corporate America has been attempting to convince Americans to think that those who sue are in some way, immoral or just plain bad. Being "in the business," I know they are doing this to escape accountability for their negligent behavior. Seems like every time I pick a jury in a personal injury case, I learn they are succeeding.
For instance, there are many organizations designed for the primary purpose of attempting to curb the ability of individuals to access the civil justice system. One of those organizations is The Institute for Legal Reform's (ILR). Caterpillar is a member. They sued Disney because they felt the portrayal of one of its bulldozers in one of the Disney movies was too wicked. FedEx is another member. They sued a man for making a chair out of FedEx boxes. These are just a couple of the companies that are members of the ILR.
While these lawsuits are silly, these companies have the Constitutional right to file them. What is despicable is that these same companies try their hardest to deny American citizens the same right, even when these people are seriously injured, sometimes killed by the companies' products and actions.
There are countless companies that stand to gain financially from having people truly believe that individuals are too sue happy. Many companies wish to block individual access to the courthouses. These same companies have no desire to give up to right to access the same courthouses when they have been wronged. The American public in general must come to understand that the right to justice belongs not just to corporations, but to all Americans. The American public must stop buying into what the corporate world is selling them regarding our system of justice.

From the panics around Satanic abuse and video nasties to paedophile rings and online trolling, the British establishment's willingness to link arms with moral crusaders – and wreck lives in the process – never ceases to stagger. But the announcement that the Conservative government is to launch an inquiry into sexual harassment and assault on university campuses really takes the biscuit. A panic, whipped up by 19-year-old gender-studies students from Hampstead, has now been given official sanction.
Business secretary Sajid Javid ordered the review, calling on university heads to lead a taskforce to investigate the problem and draw up a code of practice to bring about 'cultural change'. 'Nobody should be put off going to university because of fears about their safety. If my children choose that path, I would expect my daughter to be as safe as my son on any campus in this country', he said.
He continued: 'This taskforce will ensure that universities have a plan to stamp out violence against women and provide a safe environment for all their students. We do not tolerate this behaviour in any part of society and I'm not prepared to let it take place on university campuses unchecked.'
One detail Javid's speech missed out was that the alleged rise in sexual violence on Britain's campuses, the alleged emergence of a toxic 'lad culture' that is leading more and more undergrad men to defile helpless young women, is a complete and utter crock.
The basis for this panic, that has incensed many a blue-haired women's officer over the past few years, is a series of heavily discredited reports and surveys from the National Union of Students (NUS). The most often cited report is Hidden Marks, which claimed that one in seven female students has experienced a 'serious physical or sexual assault' and one in four experienced 'unwanted sexual contact'.

Madonna Poses With a Cigarette
Recently 55-year-old Madonna posed on a motorcycle in a sexy bra and with a cigarette! What example she gives to her daughter Lourdes Leon?
Let us remember 2012 when Madonna publicly punished her daughter when 15-year-old teen was caught smoking a cigarette in New York.
In the interview with Rock Center's Harry Smith she told that she dislikes smoking and she does not encourage smoking among youth, especially among her children. Probably, she must be tougher when the talk is about smoking.
However, in this context Madonna forgets about herself permitting a smoke for a photo.The latest one shows the superstar with a half-ashed cigarette in her mouth. Yeah, she is cool with this quiff hairstyle, little makeup and the cigarette!
This week Madonna shared the image on her Instagram writing 'Feeling A little Butch today! The Girl needs to sleep! #rebelheart #artforfreedom #revolutionoflove.'
When asked about smoking, she said she does not smoke cigarettes.
Today Madonna fans are waiting for a new album, The last album the singer released in 2012.

Not all hair is created equal, especially between men and women. Among all hair issues, hair fall and dullness everyone faces at some point or other. A conditioner helps in forming a coating over our hair and prevents them from coming directly in contact with environmental damages like sun exposure or pollution. It creates a layer which gives a shield from hazards. Rather than cleaning a conditioner conditions and nourishes the hair follicle and immediately makes the hair shinier. When we shampoo, it opens the hair's cuticle, whereas the conditioner seals it back up. Hence managing and styling become easier.

Flo, I have been speaking with Matt at Media 100 and he suggested I ask you a couple questions I have about setting up Media 100 with a SAN. Of course, tips from anyone will be appreciated. This is my first time posting on Creative Cow, let me know if I didn't give enough info.
The education company I work for used Media 100i systems for years before switching to FCP. We have a Xsan system which I am using for testing purposes but we will be upgrading that as well when we switch to Media 100. I am looking at getting a Studio Network Solutions EVO for the SAN. I am wondering if the following setup sound workable.
Would like to get a 32 T SAN but 16 T may be all that is in the budget this year, if I do go with the 16 T we will use some Synology NASs we have. Currently I am testing using NAS storage devices and the Xsan we already own.
SAN- media files acquired live from all 4 studios
NAS 1 (we will be using 3 NASs)- Media 100 projects from 4 studios and 5 editing suites
NAS 2- exports from 4 studios and 5 editing suites, export video will be imported to projects in all studios/suites
NAS 3- media files acquired from all 5 editing suites
The 4 studios computers connected to a SAN using 2G fiber channel and to the NASs using a Gigabit ethernet connection.
The 5 editing room computers connected to the SAN using iSCSI over ethernet (for editing, not capture) and to the NASs (for capture) using a Gigabit ethernet connection.
Most of our Macs are Intel but we do have a couple PPC G5s. Most are on OS 10.5.7, a couple are 10.5.8.
When I reboot the computer I used for capturing, or open the project on a different computer it can't find the media. If I go to media locations the media folder is listed but is red and in italics. If I double click on the folder name find the correct folder and hit open my media re-links. It stays linked if I close and reopen the project but not if I reboot or switch to a different computer. I also have to re-select media destinations. The project files and media folder are stored in the same place regardless of which computer I am on. If possible I would like to be able to move between computers without re-linking.
Matt said it may be a problem with the order the drives are mounted when the computers boot.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

John Smits supplies buyers in Northern Europe with total range of Spanish organic fresh produce
Growth of Spanish organic area not as turbulent as expected
John Smits from the Netherlands has been active in Spanish horticulture and the fresh produce trade for twenty years. He started with a production project for organic vegetables on substrate, and in 2004 he started selling organic products in Northern Europe. My suppliers are between Alicante and Huelva. Im the link between Spanish cooperatives and my buyers, who are primarily located in the Netherlands.
John Smits
John markets practically the entire range of organic fresh produce, which is unique. From soft fruit to citrus and from mangoes and avocados to celeriac and iceberg lettuce, John sums up. To be interesting for my buyers I need a broad range. There are 300 other supplies who have organic tomatoes and cucumbers, so I cant be distinctive in that regard. My biggest products right now are citrus varying from oranges to lemons and grapefruit and avocados. You dont hear or read much about organic citrus, but I sell about 100 pallets of it per week.
I predicted the growth in the organic greenhouse vegetable area a few years ago. Thats why I started to focus on spreading the products. For example, cherry tomatoes can be bought anywhere, and organically theyre just as cheap as conventionally. But other products actually have a demand market. Spanish organic blueberries, for instance, are often expensive and difficult to acquire, and the same is true for mangoes and avocados. Thats why my turnover consists for 90% of exotics and citrus now. When my customers ask for a new product, I start looking for it.
John works with eight organic cooperatives, which he connects to buyers. I work on behalf of the cooperatives, but I do my own sales, I pass on orders to suppliers, and take care of transport and billing. One thing I am really distinctive in is respecting the customers of my customers. My customers know I wont approach their customers behind their back. Thats why they often trust me to supply the products to their final customers in,for example, Italy, Austria or Switzerland. This makes them more competitive than having double transports and storing or cross-docking their products in their warehouse.
Although theres been much fuss about the turbulent growth of the Spanish organic area in the media in recent years, that image can be somewhat more nuanced according to John. Many olive groves and grain fields are organically planted because people get subsidies when buying things like fertilisers. But this involves enormous surfaces, the product of which is often not even sold as organic. The market has definitely become more pressured in the fresh produce sector, but the figures mentioned do not tally with the reality. People are talking about an expansion of 1,600 hectares in Almeria, but I dont think the total organic area is even that large.
Ten years ago, many growers switched to organic production, but many growers quickly transitioned back to conventional production as well, because the organic production turned out to be less profitable than expected. You can now see that nearly all of the cooperatives, which market hundreds of pallets of conventional trade, are starting with a few pallets of organic trade. Because of this, the completely organic companies are under more and more pressure. I personally have doubts sometimes about the correctness and certificates of the organic products of the companies that just do organic on the side. I check the trade and papers of my suppliers myself, so my customers can be guaranteed of 100 per cent organic product.

A semi-trailer on fire forced the temporary closure of Interstate 635 and Interstate 70 early Sunday near Park Drive in Kansas City, Kan.
Kansas Department of Transportation officials alerted motorists of the fire and the closure shortly before 2 a.m.
At 8:30 a.m., crews had cleaned up the scene and the roads were open to traffic again. No injuries were reported.
The truck fire came shortly after a rash of incidents involving burning semi-trailers on Kansas City area interstates this month.
In addition to Sunday's fire, three wrecks involved four flaming tractor-trailers, and two more trucks have caught fire apparently unrelated to any collision, since July 11.

Apparently, we're not the only ones with a looming water crisis.
I came across this interesting editorial, which talked about a respected writer getting sacked over his dire warnings about South Africa's water problems.
This caught my attention because we had to nix our intentions of visiting Tugela Falls (allegedly the second tallest waterfall on earth) from our Africa trip upon learning of their drought. I guess we made the right move back then.
Still, I thought it was strange that someone tried to tell the truth and stimulate some action to address the problem only to end up getting sacked and censored. I certainly hope we in Southern California can take more responsible action to address our drought situation.

When NDP Minister of Citizens' Services Jinny Sims visited the Williams Lake area Wednesday she said it was nice to see new growth but devastating to see the impacts of the wildfires.
"We spent a lot of time talking with people today and saw how the community really came together," Sims said at the end of her tour.
During her visit she went to Pioneer Log Homes of B.C. in Williams Lake and met with First Nations leaders.
She also toured a new broadband communication site put in by ABC Communications this year near Dugan Lake on the Horsefly Road that is slated to go live later in November.
"Earl Thomas from CP Electronics and I met with the minister to talk about broadband connectivity in rural communities," said ABC Communications vice-president Falko Kadenbach. "Then I took her to Pioneer Log Homes and met with Bryan Reid Jr. to talk about how they grew their business."
On the way to Dugan Lake, Kadenbach also stopped at the Pioneer site on the Horsefly Likely Road so Sims could see the losses from the wildfires.
Sims also met with Horsefly realtor Victor Khong, who Kadenbach said talked about the importance of having internet access.
"Connectivity infrastructure and the ability to communicate is critical," Kadenbach said. "It was an important component to a lot of people while we were under states of alert through the wildfires this summer. Part of that was the discussion we had with Victor."
Sims said in the old days, railroads were built to move goods and people whereas today with the knowledge industry it is fibre optics that are the highway and byways.
The challenge, she added, is giving people access to fibre optics when they live in more remote places and getting connectivity to their homes.
"It's major because of affordability," Sims said. "You are not going to get Telus to do a lot of that work because it isn't a good business deal, so companies like ABC Communications are a God-send because they go in and connect and provide internet services to smaller communities."
First Nations leaders shared their challenges with Sims and the fact connectivity is essential for economic growth, she said.
Her ministry provides front-line services through Service BC centres but it is also the Ministry of IT and holds B.C.'s real estate, freedom of information, protection of privacy and procurement.
"Those are all big issues," Sims said. "We are really focused on bringing about changes so we can help to support rural communities through our procurement supporting small and medium sized businesses to do business with government."
Sims said so far the internet is providing Telehealth services to people living in remote communities, as well as educational support for students from K-12, but her ministry is also interested in making it possible for people in the trades to take exams, such as their Red Seal, in more places.
"It is really about giving communities the tools they need," she added.
Sims also spent time with the staff at Service B.C. and said she was impressed with their dedication to the community.
"This is a staff that has strong roots in the community and they take the provision of the service they provide very seriously," Sims said.

Keep Your Kids Insured
Adult dependents can stay on their parents' group or individual health-insurance plans until their 26th birthday under the new federal health-care overhaul provision that took effect last month.
The child doesn't have to be in college or live with parents to qualify. He or she can be married, although a child's spouse can't be put on a parent's plan.
Many parents of adult and college-age children may be wondering if this is the way to go or whether adult kids should stick with other options, such as an individual health-insurance policy, public health programs for low-income adults or student health plans.
Currently, about 30% of adults age 19 to 29 are uninsured, a problem the law was meant to help address. Some states, including New Jersey and New Mexico, already had similar laws. But age limits and requirements varied.
Most Employers Included
Under the new law, most big employers will make adult-child health-insurance coverage available for workers starting in the open-enrollment period this fall for the plan year beginning in January 2011, though some may permit enrollment sooner.
In states where some adult children can stay on parents' plans beyond age 26, employers must abide by state laws, says Dean Hatfield, senior vice president and corporate health leader at Sibson Consulting.
About 75% of employers surveyed by human-resources consultant HighRoads said employers will include information about this and other health-care reform provisions in their materials during open enrollment. Parents have to be provided with a written notice by the first day of the plan year.
The new law applies to all health-insurance plans created after March 2010. If the plan existed before March, an employer can opt to exclude young adults if they have access to an employer-sponsored plan of their own, Mr. Hatfield says. (The rule remains in effect until 2014, when all adult kids will be able to get on a parent's plan.)
Parents also can put adult children on their Cobra plan, which allows terminated workers to continue under their former employer's group health-insurance plan. And adult children who have passed a state's age limit for Cobra coverage under a parent's plan in the last 60 days may be able to stay or get back on the plan, says Phil Lebherz, executive director of the Foundation for Health Care Coverage.
Limited Added Cost
From an insured parent's standpoint, it's hard to beat the cost savings of keeping an adult child on a parent's employer-provided health plan, some experts say.
Covered employees pay an average of 30% of the premium for family coverage under group health insurance and employers pay the rest, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation survey. Employees who pay part of the premium often have only two options -- individual and family -- so an additional dependent typically doesn't cost much more.
If there's a gap before you can sign up an adult child for coverage, look for a short-term insurance plan or other health plan, including public plans for low-income adults and families. One resource: the Foundation for Health Care Coverage, coverageforall.org or 1-800-234-1317. A Spanish-language edition is at espanol.coverageforall.org.
Check for exclusions, co-pays and deductibles if you opt for an individual plan. Also, check whether an employer-provided or individual plan covers your child in another state.
