The Wenpod X1 action camera stabilizer
The Wenpod X1 action camera stabilizer
With loads of camera stabilizers out there promising you the world….. how do you know what to expect? And which stabilizer is the correct one for your needs?
If you're looking for a stabilizer for your bike you have just reached the right place. Let's discuss the Wenpod X1 mount.
The Wenpod X1
The X1 was designed and is currently produced by the Wenpod company. They're specialized in stabilization systems and made phone stabilizers for years before the one-axis X1 concept was created. They've got years of expertise and thousand of units produced under their belt. The X1 is a extremely robust stabilization mount built for extreme sports lovers. Launched in late 2015, it stabilizes the footage horizontally, without sacrificing the thrill of dynamic motion in the video. Their original market was eyeing GoPro users, but the Wenpod X1 works with virtually any camera of the same shape/size./weight. Currently, the GoPro Hero 3, 3+, 4 and 5 are compatible, together with Xiami cameras, SJ4000, SJ7000 and so on.
The market
Since it's launch, the X1 became the reference within the sports bike market due to it's affordable price, long battery life and simplicity. It also does not suffer interference from engine vibrations and the extremely strong forces generated due to acceleration, corners, speed reductions and so on. Lately, sailing boats are employing the X1 too as a robust weatherproof option to keep the footage leveled when the boat rolls.
Proprietary tech
Using an advanced proprietary algoritm, the X1 is one of the easiest self-leveling gimbals available out there. It's essentially plug and play. The hardest bit accordingly to customers is to locate the right spot on your bike to install it. The automatic calibration can be completed with the a touch of a button. The weight parameter of your action camera will be recorded, and calibrated by the device in seconds. Just secure the camera to the X1 and mount it safely to your bike.
Action in any position
The Wenpod X1 is also one of the few stabilizers out there that can be mounted in virtually any position. So feel free to have it sideways, at 45 deg or upside down: the calibration is totally automatic, and the electronic sensors of the mount will take care of everything. You just have fun! It is also one of the rare mounts that can be mounted facing forward or backwards in a bike and will work just fine.
Want to know more? Visit the Wenpod X1 page in our site to find out more and buy it now!
Bought mine recently from you guys and it's a great piece of equipment!
Hello everyone,
I would be very interested in your X1 gyro stabilizer!!
How could I get it and what is the price etc…?
Many thanks.

In the rush for more Likes, Comments and Shares on Facebook, it's tempting to dumb down.
But could underestimating your fans backfire, or even damage your brand?
"If you like the Olympics - Like us!"
We've all seen them. They are blatant, unashamed and pushy. They provide a spurious and pointless reason for you to share the Page with your friends and they make you wonder who has the time to peddle such nonsense.
Do they really work, though, and what effect do they have on your brand?
Since the adoption of Facebook by brands, a panoply of engagment marketing techniques have emerged. Some seemingly stupid ideas, such as Heineken's offer to blow up a balloon for every new fan, have attracted thousands of new fans and been genuinely engaging. But a question remains over less creative tactics.
Nescafe, for example, recently held a polls to ask their fans: "How do you hold your NESCAFÉ mug?" with optional answers (a) left hand (b) right hand (b) both hands, or (d) I use a straw. While Skoda, a brand with a strong pedigree of smart advertising, asks its fans "When was the last time you washed your ŠKODA?".
Although seemingly mind-numbing to the average person, the Nescafe poll attracted over 1,500 responses and the Skoda question received over 1500 Likes and 150 comments.
As Dom Dwight, who manages the highly successful Facebook Page for Yorskshire Tea, said at Facebook Marketing London in July, "It's the light-touch posts that really work", citing a single post that simply said: "Time for a proper brew. Who's with me?" which generated hundreds of Likes, Comments and Shares.
It seems that within a loyal fan-base, even the most mundane of requests can trigger an avalanche of word-of-mouth referrals. Perhaps it's how you go about it that matters. It may well be possible to draw a line between light-touch but brand-related posts, which are more acceptable, as opposed to completely unrelated and cynical ploys, like many of the Olympics examples we witnessed during the summer.
Yet the backlash to dumbing down has started. Jon Morter, best known for his amazing Rage Against the X-Factor campaign, recently launched a Facebook Page devoted entirely to the cause of outing condescending and crass Facebook engagement tactics. The page features a Wall of Shame where fans are invited to share examples of blithering and pointless posts they've seen on the network.
It makes for hilarious, if painful, reading for many brands and makes you wonder how many people are put off Liking (or un-Like) brands as a result of seemingly condescending or cynical ploys to lure them into engaging.
Are these examples of companies simply talking to customers in friendly, every-day terms - after all, there's probably a limited number of truly interesting things you can say about instant coffee or tea-bags - or will consumers gradually get wise to "engagement tactics" and switch off altogether, just as they have with advertising?
Luke Brynley-Jones will be hosting a lively discussion between Dom Dwight (Yorkshire Tea), Jon Morter (Big Other), Sharon Flaherty (Confused.com) and Tom Ollerton (We Are Social) on this topic at Social Media Marketing 2012 (London) on 25th Oct.
Comments (15)
I think what's right for one product or service will be condescending for another. The proper balance needs to be explored, through experimentation, between the brand and its customer base.
There's also a danger that, without understanding this relationship, arrogant judgements from afar about what is or isn't condescending could be made. It's a bit like how you can't understand why a TV programme, book, music record, band etc can be so popular when, 'Why can't everyone (else) see just how bad this is?!'
However, too many trivial posts run the risk of becoming boring. Something that's novel and funny - and works well to begin with - cannot be repeated again and again.
Of course, the real question is, even if an 'engagement strategy' works and people respond to a silly request via Facebook and Twitter, does this actually lead to increased brand awareness, purchase intent, sales and loyalty?
I have a client who uses these kinds of 'silly' posts on Facebook to build a real sense of community. It started by accident when the MD shared a couple of photos he found funny, and now people can't seem to get enough of it. The conversations flow more readily - not just the social stuff but actual customer enquiries. People want to buy from the company because they have a good feeling about them - these are people who laugh at the same things they do and don't push promotions at them on social networks. When you're an SME selling commoditised products you can't afford to compete on price, so you need to appeal at a more emotional level, by creating community bonds. It can work. It doesn't fit into the standard 'marketing campaign' way of thinking, but it's sustainable and it's how social media works.
I think you need to have a mix of the light touch points and more in-depth questions, but they do need to stay mostly on point. A one off post/photo/video every now and then is fine, but don't let it overwhelm the rest of your messaging.
Not so much a backlash as a gentle satire, this is nonetheless good evidence that as soon as we stop thinking about people and start thinking only of 'engaging with users', we're going to end up with stuff that patronises, bores and infuriates.
Social media content is the same as on any other medium - if it doesn't have a real, solid purpose and value to a defined group of people, you can do more harm than good by publishing it. Have a good content strategy and use it!
I would like to look at some of the examples in the post above from the perspective of how us humans interact with each other on Facebook rather than how brands engage with humans on Facebook.
Some of the seemingly "stupid" posts described above are exactly what we post on our own status updates once in a while and these are what attracts, at times, some serious love from our group of friends. Its because we are social by nature and we can relate to what has been described above as light touch.
And I always say this to whoever wants to listen - if you can't be social, don't be on Facebook, irrespective of whether you are a human being or a brand.
Thanks for the comments guys. While I do have genuine concerns about the more cynical, "Like us please" type posts, I would agree that light touch updates do provide a kind of community 'glue' that is valuable in itself. It's a topic we'll be discussing at SMM12 London in more depth - so I'll be sure to feed your views into the panel.
Ironically, the 'Condescending Corporate Brand Page' achieves what many brands are striving to: engagement associated with a shared passion.
To me, what he's posting is just as annoying as many of the brand pages, and I wouldn't dream of 'liking' the page for his anti-condescending condescending tone
The reality is, what that page has achieved is awareness of a cause*, engagement around a shared passion or topic and very shareable content (for the right audience
*sub out 'cause' here and replace with 'brand' and you get, in a nutshell, the Facebook results that many social strategies pursue.
As a note, I work as a creative social strategist and it's often my role to discern the correct tone, voice and subsequent content plan for many brands. Part of that discernment often (but not always) involves avoiding the aforementioned 'silly' posts in an effort to pre-empt a backlash and begin to offer actual value for our audience.
It's tricky to get the balance right sometimes but from my experience 'casual posts' (as we call them) are the most successful with our communities but tone is key and you have to be sensible - a lot of brands take casual posts too far, i.e. 'click like if you had a birthday last year and share if you have a birthday this year' - don't insult your audience's intelligence or they will publicly mock you for it.
I think there's a few things to be aware of here. I treat posting on social networks to some extent like having a conversation with friends - too many jokes annoy them, being too serious bores them, striking a balance keeps the conversation interesting.
It sounds like Jon Morter is a bit of a hypocrite - is he not guilty of the crime he accuses brands of? His 'success' with Rage Against... has led him to trot out the same tactic and try to appeal to the same cynicism in the public.
One thing's for certain in all examples: variety is the key to engagement and keeps humans, not users, entertained.
Great insights as why people share information and why it blends. I believe right Social media strategy is also a tool to increase the search engine optimization information.
A very clear and step by step post- as how to initiate the social media strategy in order to keep the points which is required.
Great Post- Its like Minimum Viable Product philosophy presented for successful social media marketing strategies.
Good Post. Social media strategy is really helpful for building link strategies. Social is really important for all brands in the current market,
I guess you have to ask what is the point of running a Facebook page? If you have to get certain marketing messages out but don't have any 'light relief' content pieces then you will just alienate and annoy your audience. There has to be something in it for them and that's where these 'silly' and I guess sometimes border-line condescending posts come in. By the same token, if that is all you do then the same will happen. Like others above have said it's as much about balance as it is about anything else.
Some interesting points raised here. I'd certainly agree that variety is the spice of life, and so it should be too in online conversation. Is there a line drawn when it comes to what can be posted? No I don't think so. If brands want to update their fans with posts of zero value then let them, it's not a case of "you are wrong for posting this", it's just a bit of satire as Amy has put it, that's all. It's a result of me and a few friends where all of us happen to work within 'social' that were sending each other these type of posts quite a lot in amusement. It culminated in the CCBP being set up with us all as admins. Once Mashable, FastCo, FT, and others started to blog it the numbers went way higher than any of us expected.
Bear in mind that it wasn't intended just to solely poke at brands and/or their strategies...there are quite a lot of Facebook users out there who seem to love these sort of posts. A drinks company posted a picture of a Banana asking their fans to like the post. About THREE THOUSAND people 'liked' it for reasons we just couldn't fathom.
Perversely a couple of big(ish) brands have got in touch saying they like it, and even one of the brands we re-posted dropped us a message saying 'okay fair enough you actually have a good point there'!
Criticism? Yes there's been that too. I can't speak for the other admins but the only complaints I've had in front of me were both from Online Marketing professionals...
Thanks for your thoughts but social media marketing is the new future now.

Sony has announced that firmware update version 2.35 is on its way for PlayStation 3, but that it only contains minor bug fixes.
On the official Sony blog Eric Lempel, director of PlayStation Network Operations, wrote: "I just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up that a PS3 firmware update (v2.35) will be released shortly. This is a relatively minor update to improve stability of some PS3 titles".
However, if you've been having problems with GTA IV on your PS3, this update won't solve that. Sony's Al de Leon commented on the blog thread adding: "I just want to clarify that this ... firmware update isn't related to GTA IV".
But worry not GTA fans, there is a solution out there.
"For those of you who may still have an issue playing the game on your PS3, we have identified a solution that should resolve the issue", said de Leon.
"You can contact SCEA Consumer Services for support — their contact info and hours of service, as well as more information on this issue, are available in our Knowledge Center."

You need to see how fast the world's fastest elevator goes to believe it
Hitachi is building an elevator that will travel 45 miles an hour for the CTF building currently under construction in Guangzhou, China, to be completed in 2016. Until then, the world's fastest elevator is in the Taipei 101 building where you can soar at 37.7 miles an hour (or 1,010 meters per minute) from the 5th floor to the 89th floor in 37 seconds. Check out the fast ride in this video.
The ride is obviously very fast and very smooth. Ironically, when you ride in the elevator, you may wish it would take longer because the wait in the line is long with so many tourists. This ride is now ranked by CNN as one of the world's "12 elevators you need to see to believe."
At 1,667 feet tall, Taipei 101 ranked as the world's tallest building from 2004 to 2010 when it was over taken by the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai.
According to Focus Taiwan, Taipei 101's spokesman Michael Liu bragged that a NT$50 coin (slightly larger in diameter than a US$1 coin) can stand on end for the entire length of the ride because the ride is so smooth.
To celebrate Mother's day, mothers can ride the Taipei 101 elevator free during the month of May.

Emotional Cinema is what fuels our drive to create a wedding film that is unlike what you will find elsewhere. What this means is we put a lot of time and professional expertise into our work. As a boutique studio, we keep the number of weddings we film each year down so that we can focus on the quality of the work we produce. And we get to know our couples so that we can create a film that is reflective of their life and their story.
Our Style = Cinematic Documentary. We blend an elegant mix of photojournalism and documentary style to craft cinematic wedding films that evoke everything from the luxury and glamour of old Hollywood movies to the more edgy and modern mood of independent art films---while staying true to each couple's personalities and the intimacy and emotion of the day.
My career in cinematography stems from over 15 years of professional experience producing documentaries from start to finish.
So why weddings?
Weddings are kind of like the ultimate documentary. They tell the story of two lives coming together and of tradition, the past, and new beginnings. They're dramatic, emotional, beautiful and deeply personal.
The idea of Wedding Films also hit close to home when my now wife and I found ourselves spending months looking for a cinematographer for our own wedding a few years ago. It wasn't as easy as expected to find work that not only looked beautiful and filmic but was also incredibly personal, natural and emotional.
We didn't want to be treated like just another couple plugged in as the characters of the same story line "vows-venue-cake" nor did we want to be awkwardly stuck in the middle of a big, constantly sliding-sweeping-swirling production team running around with gear. Our film had to be personal, reflect us, our style, our voices, our little quirks. And we had to feel comfortable.
We decided to put our talents together to not only have our own wedding captured in the way that we wanted but also to build a uniquely creative wedding cinematography studio from the ground up. We weren't sure how couples would respond to a guy who really loves film and who spent his whole life filming documentaries, applying his storytelling approach to their wedding films but it works.
Now we celebrate with couples through every step of their planning process and after--- whether they are planning a very private and intimate event or being featured in a national magazine. It's an adventure and we love every minute of it.
Our goal at the end of each day is to create great films that make brides and grooms, families, and potential grandchildren very happy.
- Michael

By: Meryl van Noie
We all know that the school system takes its time when it comes to allocating money for projects. It is an uphill battle most of the time. So when they decide to grant the funding, some of us are taken aback and get into a state of panic. What to do now? O.K. You have the go-ahead for your studio, the funding proposal has been written and everything is falling into place. Now you, as the music teacher, have to decide what, where and how to spend the money. This is a very difficult and very important task.
Some teachers might already have a computer that is used for business purposes (word processing, billing, databases, etc). If this is the case, the costs of setting up a lab need not be very high. Start with a relatively inexpensive single station lab and slowly add to it as need, finance and competence dictates. By reducing your start-up costs, you are able to learn about and evaluate hardware and software in the context of your studio. If anything needs to be changed or you realize that a particular component is not suitable, you are not left with a lab full of computers that have to be adjusted. As computer specifications are ever changing, I have not included any recommendations. These are best discussed with your school's computer teacher and/ a computer consultant.
Perhaps the most critical component of a music computer lab is the piano keyboard. You can easily pay as much or more for a MIDI-compatible keyboard to plug into the computer as you will for the computer itself. There are many different models available and the bigger, more expensive ones can be quite impressive. It would be ideal to get a keyboard with full 88 touch-sensitive keys and a pedal simulator. In practice, such keyboards are very expensive and not really needed in a computer teaching lab. There are many MIDI-compatible keyboards available, which would fulfill your expectations and suit your lab.
Setting Up The System
Computer retailers and manufacturers have worked very hard over the last few years to provide new users with a good set-up experience. In most cases they have succeeded, so as for being able to set the system up yourself should not pose a big problem. Once you get the computer going, the only other connection you'll have to make to the computer, in most cases, is the MIDI keyboard. The keyboard can plug into either an interface on the back of the computer or, more commonly, through a MIDI-joystick cable, connected to the sound card. Installing software too is relatively easy, as it is usually a step by step process. Follow the installation steps described in the software manual and then follow the on-screen instructions. Once installed, you may have to adjust the MIDI set-up for your particular software, but fortunately, this process is usually well-explained and is just a matter of trying a couple or three alternatives until you get sound from the keyboard.
Make provisions for security of your teaching lab system, especially if you're sharing the teaching lab system with other teachers. Control access to the programs on the system and to the BIOS set-up program, in addition to whatever anti-theft provisions you feel are necessary. Computer knowledge is so widespread among children these days that many of your students will be unable to resist the temptation to explore your system (in ways that have nothing to do with their music training). Occasionally this unauthorized interference can result in changes to your system set-up that can take hours to diagnose and fix. If you have other sensitive information on the system, the damage can be far worse. It would be a very good idea to take precautions to secure your system from unauthorized snooping. Go into the BIOS set-up program and set the program or administrator passwords. (If you don't know how to do this, ask your computer administrator or computer teacher for help.) Be sure to write your passwords down and store them in a safe place for future reference. If you forget the BIOS passwords and don't have them written down, you will have no access to the system without sending it back to the manufacturer, for a BIOS replacement. BIOS protection stops unauthorized start-up of the computer or modification of the hardware set-up, but does not control unauthorized access to programs by otherwise authorized users.
If you're using Windows 95, 98 or NT as your operating system, you can set up a separate user profile for yourself and for your students through Start, Settings, Control Panel, Passwords. Since each user profile is password-protected and has its own separate Start menu and programs listing, you can use user profiles to control which programs your students access by what you put on their Start menu. At a minimum, you'll want to have two user profiles, one for yourself and one for your students. BIOS and user profile protection will not stop a dedicated and knowledgeable computer expert, but is more than adequate for most of your likely users.
Make sure that your hardware will run the software you purchase. Software written for Windows 95 or Windows NT will not run in Windows 3.1 or MS-DOS, although the opposite usually works. Some software demands that you have a MIDI keyboard; other software does not need one. Make sure that your system can meet the RAM and display requirements that your software package requires. Always read the sides and/or back of the software packages to make sure that your computer can accommodate the software. Generally, you'd want to get software for music concept and theory, music appreciation, aural training and sequencing and/sampling. When choosing software, keep in mind your student population. If you have lots of older students, forget about programs, which have a lot of games or "edutainment". Rather buy packages that are no nonsense and to the point. Don't buy any software that you haven't seen or used yourself. Most manufacturers make demo versions of their software, allowing you to evaluate them before investing your hard-earned money. It is important that you work through each software package yourself, at least in part, so that you know what kind of problems might arise and how to answer students' questions quickly and correctly. Give yourself enough time to get to know the software package before you implement it into the studio. If you don't have computer knowledge, allow yourself enough time to learn about computers and how to best use them with your software.
Organizing and Running Your Computer Lab
There are many different ways of running the day-to day use of your lab. This would depend on whether you have individual students using the lab or a class of students.
For instance, a student can use the computer lab once they have finished their individual lessons. You can have a listing of homework assignments to be done on the computer for 30 minutes. While one student is at the lab, a private piano lesson is being given to another student in the studio. If you have a class of students you could divide them into groups and give one group theory assignments, another listening or music appreciation assignments and another group computer activities.
It is wise to also have a computer lab policy, which spells out the rules and regulations that apply to the lab. This could help resolve any disputes that may develop regarding time slots, or if something goes wrong or missing. Students should log in and out, so that the teacher knows exactly who used it and when. It should be signed by the parents or persons responsible for the student as a prerequisite to using the lab. While there are a number of considerations in establishing and running a computer teaching lab successfully, you don't have to be a computer whiz to do it. If you can use a word processor, or play computer games, or if you can use the Internet, chances are you already have enough computer skills to run a computer teaching lab. So don't worry about what you think you can't do, but start learning about everything you would be able to do and how much a computer lab can do to enrich your students' music education.

Introduction | Communication in a large church
Planning Process | Step by step
- Submit an Event Request Form.
- Your Event Request will be sent to our Pastoral Leadership Team. Approved events will be assigned one of three Event Types, which determine how each event will be communicated.
- Regardless of the Event Type, the Ministry Director (or a leader working closely with the Ministry Director) is responsible for overseeing all group-level communication. Here is an Event Checklist that will help you walk through the process.
Event Types | Three different kind of events
Each event is sent to our Pastoral Leadership Team via this Event Request Form. If the PLT approves the event, they will also categorize it as one of the three following Event Types. These Event Types help us to communicate each event clearly and consistently based on the nature of the event and the pace of our ministry schedule.
Hosted Events
We value the Racine community and want others to be welcome here. When an outside organization uses the Grace Church facility this is considered a hosted event. Grace is not responsible for promoting these events because they are not officially sponsored by the church, just hosted at our facility. These events are a way for us to show hospitality to our city.
Group Events
When a member of Grace Church would like to facilitate or promote an event we call it a Group Event. Typically these events are sponsored by a life group or ministry team. The most effective way for a leader to promote a Group Event is through word of mouth, the worship guide, and The City. We do not announce Group Events on Sundays because there are so many of them throughout the year.
Church-wide Events
Church-wide events are planned by the Pastors and Directors of Grace Church and are specifically designed to equip our church to worship God as a community on mission. They are relevant to every person who calls Grace Church their home, and are often attended by more than 100 people. We aim to have no more than 12 of these events per year (around one per month).

Part 1, Chapter 13 Summary
Like a cat at a mouse hole, the Fox is waiting for Orual, who says Psyche is alive, well, and claiming to be happy. For this the Fox thanks Zeus. Orual then tells him the bad news, omitting her vision in the fog. The Fox is at a loss what to do to save and restore her, and he inquires about what Orual has surely been thinking. In the absence of Orual's seeing the palace, the Fox cannot believe her testimony to Psyche's apparent sanity - and does not doubt the reality of things unseen, concepts like Justice, Equality, the Soul, and Music, and things done behind one's back or far away. He is dismayed at how little Orual has learned from him when she asks about soul-houses, and believes he should dose Orual with hellebore (a folk remedy for dealing...

Indianapolis Colts
Colts, professional football team and one of five teams in the
Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) of
the National Football League (NFL). Under the league�s
realignment plan, which will take affect in 2002, the Colts will
play in the South Division of the AFC. Formerly based in
Baltimore, Maryland, the Colts now play at the RCA Dome in
Indianapolis, Indiana, and wear uniforms of royal blue and
white. Piloted by quarterbacks Johnny Unitas and Earl Morrall,
the Colts captured four NFL championships from 1958 to 1971.
(The Super Bowl was not played until 1967, so only one of these
championships was a Super Bowl victory.) Unitas was one of
several future Hall of Fame members who played in the talented
lineups of head coaches Weeb Ewbank and Don Shula. The Colts
earned three consecutive division titles during the mid-1970s
under head coach Ted Marchibroda. Defensive end John Dutton,
quarterback Bert Jones, and running back Lydell Mitchell starred
on these teams. Professional football in Maryland dates to 1947,
when the Miami Seahawks of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC)
moved to Baltimore and became the Colts. In 1948 quarterback Y.
A. Title won the league�s passing
championship as Baltimore tied for the
Eastern Division crown. A year later the
AAFC folded and the Colts joined the
NFL, but after two consecutive seasons
with 1-11 win-loss records, the
franchise was dissolved. The Colts were
reborn in 1953 when the NFL�s Dallas
Texans moved to Baltimore and took the
name Colts. Owner and business executive
Carroll Rosenbloom promptly engineered
the biggest trade in league history�a
deal that sent five Colts to the
Cleveland Browns in exchange for ten
players, including defensive back Don
Shula. Following four seasons of
rebuilding, the Colts captured
consecutive NFL titles in 1958 and 1959
under head coach Weeb Ewbank. Baltimore
assembled the league�s top offense both
years, with teams starring four future
Hall of Fame members.
passing combination of Johnny Unitas to
receiver Raymond Berry became one of the
most celebrated in league history. Lenny
Moore was one of the NFL�s most durable
running backs, and guard-tackle Jim Parker
anchored a superb offensive line. Linemen
Art Donovan and Gino Marchetti, also future
Hall of Fame members, led a tenacious
defense that held 16 of 26
opponents�including Baltimore�s two
championship game foes�to 21 or fewer points
in 1958 and 1959. Baltimore�s overtime
defeat of the New York Giants in the 1958
NFL Championship Game is regarded as one of
the greatest NFL contests ever played. A
year later, the Colts again bested the
Giants for the NFL crown. During the 1960s
Baltimore remained a dominant power in the
NFL as Unitas continued to power the team.
In 1960 he became the first NFL quarterback
to pass for more than 3,000 yards in one
season. Shula replaced Ewbank in 1963,
becoming one of the youngest head coaches in
NFL history at age 33. Over the next seven
seasons, he steered the Colts to four
first-place finishes in their division. In
1964 Baltimore recorded a club-record 12
victories, and Unitas collected the second
of his three most valuable player (MVP)
awards. Although they were favored in the
NFL Championship Game, the Colts lost to the
Cleveland Browns. The Colts enjoyed an
outstanding season in 1968, winning 13 of 14
games. Earl Morrall replaced the injured
Unitas and produced an MVP season, leading
the league in passing while throwing for
nearly 3,000 yards. John Mackey, who was one
of the first tight ends in professional
football to catch passes, combined with
Morrall to lead a Colt team that was heavily
favored to win the Super Bowl. The
NFL-champion Colts, however, were upset by
the American Football League (AFL)
champions, the New York Jets, who were led
by quarterback Joe Namath. Shula left
Baltimore in 1970 to take over the Miami
His replacement, Dan McCafferty, put
together the league�s most powerful
offense, and the team won the
Eastern Division title. The Colts
then advanced to the Super Bowl,
where they defeated the Dallas
Cowboys on a last-second field goal
by rookie Jim O�Brien. Three years
later, Unitas was traded for the
rights to select quarterback Bert
Jones in the 1973 NFL draft. After
Unitas�s departure, the Colts
suffered two losing seasons before
returning to prominence in 1975
under head coach Ted Marchibroda. A
potent offense starring Jones, wide
receiver Roger Carr, and running
back Lydell Mitchell powered
Baltimore to three consecutive
Eastern Division crowns from 1975 to
1977. The Colts lost in the first
round of the playoffs each season.
After having endured seven straight
losing seasons from 1978 to 1984,
and faced with dwindling fan
support, the Colts moved to
Led by running back Marshall Faulk and
quarterback Jim Harbaugh, the Colts
reached the AFC Championship Game in
1995, but they lost to the Pittsburgh
Steelers. In 1999 wide receiver Marvin
Harrison, running back Edgerrin James,
and quarterback Peyton Manning led the
team to the Eastern Division
championship, but the Colts lost to the
Tennessee Titans in the playoffs.

Innovation & Technology
FLEXX Tronic technology: speeding into the future
Bombardier FLEXX Tronic technology overcomes conventional bogie limitations such as passive steering and suspension elements. Mechatronics in the bogie, arguably a train's most crucial component, provide unique new functionalities, including:
- active radial steering (ARS) and bogie stabilization
- active comfort improvement
- tilting
- intelligent condition monitoring (FLEXX Guide)
Developed by our Research and Development Engineering team, the FLEXX Tronic platform consists of:
- FLEXX Tronic (mechatronic technology)
- FLEXX Track (track condition monitoring) - datasheet
- FLEXX Guide (bogie condition monitoring)
- FLEXX Tronic WAKO system (roll movement compensation)
What is a FLEXX Tronic technology?
This highly intelligent bogie system processes the track signature to make the train stay on track. It allows the train to run at very high speeds—up to 350 kilometres per hour—while smoothly turning bends and tilting for enhanced comfort and ease.
'Mechatronics' reduces the mechanics of a complex system to the absolute minimum by introducing active, multi-functional elements. Flexible, model-based controllers form an integral part of the information network and ensure the vehicle's smooth running and high speed.
Tested and proven for safety and reliability
The first bogies equipped with FLEXX Tronic technology were successfully tested under the REGINA 250 train, in cooperation with Sweden's Banverkert, as part of the Green Train project. In July 2007, during this testing phase, we set a new national speed record of 282 kilometres per hour for Sweden.
Find out more about FLEXX Tronic technology.
The FLEXX Tronic WAKO system
The FLEXX Tronic WAKO system is the latest development in our FLEXX Tronic platform. It builds on our 20 years of experience with active suspension technology.
FLEXX Tronic WAKO technology enables higher speeds with increased passenger comfort on curved tracks. This innovative mechatronic solution compensates for a train carbody's natural roll movement. In this way, it overcomes the limitations of conventional bogies such as passive steering and suspension components.
Integrated into the existing secondary suspension, this innovative system compensates for the carbody's natural roll movement. It increases curve speeds by up to15%, reducing both travel times and infrastructure investment.
The state-of-the-art TWINDEXX double-deck trains that we deliver to the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) will incorporate this technology. Two prototype bogies equipped with the FLEXX Tronic WAKO system passed static tests and are currently undergoing dynamic tests while running on SBB lines.
Increased speed
The FLEXX Tronic WAKO system increases train speeds in curves by up to 15% for shorter journey times with lower infrastructure investment.
Very high comfort
The low compensation of the roll movement combined with active comfort control ensures optimal passenger comfort. It eliminates the sea sickness generally experienced with active tilt systems.
High reliability
In the event of a component failure, next-generation electronics and a fully redundant system configuration ensure no impact on journey times or schedules.
Reduced mechanical complexity
The system's mechatronic multifunctional setup accommodates a compact design with short wheel base, even with an integrated drive system. The system cinematic provides fail-safe behaviour and enables a wide carbody design with first-class space, including for double-deck coaches.
Find out more about the FLEXX Tronic WAKO system.
Why choose FLEXX Tronic technology
- Excellent high speed curving performance and comfort
- High safety, reliability and comfort
- Low track forces, wheel/rail wear and noise
- Reduced mechanical complexity and track maintenance
- Intelligent condition monitoring for bogie and track
- Fail-safe

Michael Gray has told talkSPORT that Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio isn't under pressure at the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats currently sit bottom of the Premier League table after earning just one point in four games this season.
But their former left-back insists it will take time for his new-look side to gel on Wearside and, when they do, wins should follow, despite their tough fixture list.
"It's going to be hard because bringing in 14 new faces is so difficult," Gray told the Sports Bar.
"To get all those players bedded in and playing with each other is very hard. They've got to rally together and find a winning formula from somewhere.
"I don't think Paolo Di Canio is under pressure. People might raise their eyebrows at that when they see the fixture list coming up where they've got Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle United but that's his acid test.
"He's got to find some points out of those games."

Tapering Turds
Maybe "Hampton Pearson at The Labor Department" will shoot me down and make me look foolish (again) but all signs point to a weak NFP tomorrow.
I just thought I would post this before heading out. There continues to be all this market talk about "Fed tapering". We've covered this fallacy ad nauseam so there's no need to do it again, especially when The Pig is telling you all you need to know.
First, here's a daily chart of the POSX. If The Bernank was really going to constrict the future supply of dollars by tapering QE, the POSX should be rallying simply because nearly every other fiat currency is being rapidly devalued. Ahem...note the action in the POSX since The Bernank spoke to Congress two weeks ago.
But though today's drop was staggering, it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. Note that on these two longer-term charts, the key level to watch is 80. Admittedly, an horrific NFP tomorrow and we might be there by Monday. But, for now, today was just noise. One bright spot: It doesn't look like we'll be seeing a return to 88 anytime soon.
And why does this matter?
Again, it's all about the flow of funds. A weak Pig will help to drive the entire "commodity" sector higher. (https://www.tfmetalsreport.com/blog/4733/ebb-and-flow-funds) Soon, a fire will be re-lit under the metals and the historically large Spec short position will be forced to cover. A falling dollar along with the attendant higher commodity prices will only exacerbate the pain for the shorts.
So, hang in there. Regardless of whether old Hampton breathlessly exclaims "UP 88,000" or "UP 288,000" tomorrow morning, QE∞ is going to continue unabated. No amount of SPIN or Fed Goon posturing is going to change that. This fact WILL, eventually, be realized by the paper metals markets. It's simply a matter WHEN.

Let me be the first to say I don't know jack shit about how the Fed buys either $45 or $85 billion of MBS every month. With all we know how they lied about AIG, MFG, Libor, CDS, Interest rate swaps and now the CME disclaimer, what makes you think they are doing what they say?
How is it that the Russians, Chinese, Indians, various 'Stans, Mexico, Pakistan, Vietnam and others are all buying gold and we (London/NY) are the only ones selling in order to keep the dollar a float?
Who's to say they're not buying $10 billion a month as well? Or is my hat on to tight?
Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game. We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world's largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything
You may have heard of the Libor scandal, in which at least three – and perhaps as many as 16 – of the name-brand too-big-to-fail banks have been manipulating global interest rates, in the process messing around with the prices of upward of $500 trillion (that's trillion, with a "t") worth of financial instruments. When that sprawling con burst into public view last year, it was easily the biggest financial scandal in history – MIT professor Andrew Lo even said it "dwarfs by orders of magnitude any financial scam in the history of markets."
That was bad enough, but now Libor may have a twin brother. Word has leaked out that the London-based firm ICAP, the world's largest broker of interest-rate swaps, is being investigated by American authorities for behavior that sounds eerily reminiscent of the Libor mess. Regulators are looking into whether or not a small group of brokers at ICAP may have worked with up to 15 of the world's largest banks to manipulate ISDAfix, a benchmark number used around the world to calculate the prices of interest-rate swaps.

Austria has just announced that its pulling it's 380 member strong UN peace keeping force out of the Golan Heights. During the past few days the fighting around the border crossing area of Quneitra, has escalated with some shells from an artillry bombardment landing in the UN camp.
Israel is in the process of beefing up it's military force on the Golan.
The US 1,000 member strong marine force is making its way north through Jordan towards the Syrian/Jordanian border.

Syria has taken delivery of the sophisticated Russian S-300 surface to air missile system.
Bullion Demand Still Unprecedented
"Bullion demand still at unprecedented levels." Yes, demand from the U.S. Mint (and every other mint and refiner) was very strong going into April. We all know what happened then and have watched as global demand has soared because the "price was too low." Of course, if you listen to Bloomberg or CNBC they will tell you that gold has been sold off because it's "just not safe anymore." It's in a bear market, only barbarians would invest in it and the smart money has already panicked out…as should you too.
But here is a quote from acting director of the U.S. Mint, Richard Peterson:
Demand right now is unprecedented. We are buying all the coin (blanks) they can make.
-Reuters.com, June 5, 2013
Hold on now…let's take a look at this quote a little closer. "We are buying all the coin blanks they can make?" Really? So if they are buying every blank that can get their hands on…then why have there been shortages this year? Why has the mint had to suspend sales several times? "Buying every blank that they could get their hands on"…Was apparently not enough?
Actually, a better question would be, "If demand is so great and the U.S. Mint is buying every single blank that they can, then how is it possible that the price went down? Not just down mind you, down as in a 'panic "down?" I'd like to remind you (and preface what I am about to say) that the "law" here in the U.S. is that the mint MUST buy as much silver and as much gold as necessary to meet demand and this supply must come from U.S. mines. Now, I seem to remember that for the first quarter alone, the mint sold as many (I think actually 1,000 ounces more) Silver Eagles as all tallied silver production that came out of the ground from U.S. mines. So in plain English, the mint sold more Eagles than the mines produced metal in the 1st quarter.
Now, not to disparage Americans but the Chinese and Indian population make us look like absolute "pikers" when it comes to buying gold and silver. In fact, it looks like China and India are so far this year (and we don't even have numbers yet for April or May when the demand really exploded) likely to consume MORE THAN 80% of the entire world's production, where is the metal coming from? COMEX? LBMA? Ah yes, GLD! I would say as an off the cuff comment, once the "bleeding" stops and GLD doesn't report much more in the way of "deliveries" the barrel will be dry. I say this because once the deliveries stop, my guess is that what they have left in "inventory" will be of the "flammable" type. "Gold" as in receipts and paper promises.
As I wrote yesterday, "If you are truly listening" you can hear what they are telling you. Here is the director of the U.S. Mint telling you that they cannot buy enough blanks to keep up with demand. This tells you a couple of things.
1. Supply and demand are out of balance.
2. It also should tell you that IF you can get your hands on what is of short supply…you are getting it at a price that the market deems to be too low.
LISTEN and analyze what is coming out of the "official mouths" all over the world, if you listen carefully, they are telling you the truth to cover their sorry butts when this thing blows up. Like I said yesterday, they will throw their arms up in the air and say, "We tried to tell you." Author : Bill Holter

Mining shares are at a critical point.
Paper investors (in the mining shares) need to watch the trading in the next few days. Put stop losses in case we get a violent move (could be in either direction - but the last three times the mining index touched the 50 daily moving average there was a SHARP SELL-OFF IMMEDIATELY. Today the mining index was three cents away from touching the 50 dma, so it is entirely possible that this is a bull trap). Also if you look at the MACD while it is still trending up, the momentum has leveled off - meaning there is no upward momentum. In addition, if you look at the ULT indicator it is very close to "70" (meaning overbought), and it has been rising even though the share price has remained relatively flat lately. All of these signal EXTREME CAUTION.
(Many people on this site are permabulls and they got BURNED. Turd even released a youtube video of him eating his hat. Smart investors see the charts and let the charts tell them what to do and avoid getting burned so badly).
Here is the chart. Notice the price action every time it touches the 50 dma. Early November, December 31, mid January. What happens next? We have payroll numbers tomorrow.... it *could* break either way, but it is more likely to break DOWN than UP:
PS: Someone on a previous thread posted a detailed technical analysis of DUST (triple bear mining ETF). I do not think it is wise for anyone to do technical analysis of levered ETF's because there is very strong decay on a daily basis which causes price action and indicators to show false or at the best misleading information.

best. Here is why.
E-mail providers won't tell you this. They block large file attachments from being
sent via email. They just don't have free resources available for that. They may let
you send one or two photos as emal attachments, but that's pretty much it.
Often, if your email message exceeds 10-15Mb, they won't even tell you that it
can't be delivered to your recipient. So... what to do?
Here is the answer. You have to Upload the files to a safe storage on the Internet, and then include the path (or link) to
those files in your email message. This adds just one quick extra step, but virtually guarantees the delivery. How would you do that?
Check how large your files are. If they take less than 200Mb altogether, you are in luck! You can
use one of those free file transfer services. For example, Emaillargefile.com. Unfortunately,
Emaillargefile.com takes only 1 file at a time, so you will need to Zip your
files into one file before sending. Read more about how to use Emaillargefile.com here.
If you have too many files, or one of them happens to be larger than 200Mb, then use another online file transfer
service, Emaillargefile.Net.
First, log in to the site via the secure page.
Then, add the quick description and upload all your files via their file upload
Then, click the list to generate the unique file package link:
The text highlighted in green is your unique file package link.
This is what you should send to your email recipients instead of file
Copy the link text into clipboard (select all and press Ctrl-C, or Command-C), or simply click
'Create new Email message..'
When you are in your regular email program, compose your email message as you would normally do. Then, somewhere in
the message body,
press Ctrl-V or Command-V (Paste), and insert the link to your files package
into the email message.
If you are not a registered user, it's a good idea to subscribe now, because they have a special price of $1.49/month for limited time.
When your friends receive the message with the link, they will be able to
selectively download your files, or download them all in a large ZIP archive:
If your message with all attached files is less than 5-10 Mb, you may use your
regular email provider. If you don't want your email message being blocked or need
a delivery confirmation,
upload your files to the secure storage, and send a package link instead.

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—Fountain Plaza by Western Michigan University's Miller Auditorium officially reopened Oct. 10 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The plaza was cordoned off this summer while the area was redesigned to improve accessibility and traffic flow as well as to create a less formal, more inviting space where people can meet, sit, study, relax or simply people-watch.
Participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony were Rex Bell, representing the contractor, the Miller-Davis Co., and Kenneth Peregon, representing the project designer, O'Boyle, Cowell, Blalock & Associates.
Making remarks on behalf of WMU were Dr. John M. Dunn, president; Dr. Richard A. Gershon, professor and Campus Planning Finance Council member; Peter J. Strazdas, associate vice president for facilities management; and Jan Van Der Kley, vice president for business and finance.
"I'm ecstatic to be here and see this done," Dunn told the assembled crowd. "You can't go anywhere in the state of Michigan and find a campus better maintained and more attractive."
About Fountain Plaza
The plaza was originally constructed in 1968 by Miller-Davis. It is a major crossroads for visitors to the University's main arts buildings—Miller Auditorium, the Dalton Center and the Richmond Center for Visual Arts—as well as to three key instructional and office buildings—Brown Hall, Dunbar Hall and Sprau Tower.
Bell noted during his remarks that the redesign project pulls that part of campus together, while Peregon commented that the project provides a space that can be in use all of the time and where people can find personal niches.
Along with improving the flow of foot traffic, the redesign included installation of a ramp to provide access to the lower plaza level on the east side of Miller Auditorium. Overall, the area has a softer look due to more green space, more shade and curved features built into the new hardscape as well as the plaza's existing pool.
Bermed lawn panels now rise from behind some 365 feet of curved walls. The walls double as places to sit, and the panels provide additional lawn seating options. In all, 10 more trees and 7,303 more square feet of green space have been added to the plaza.
In addition, a curved 98-foot-long stone wall has been incorporated into the pool to create varying fountain depths and allow for a new waterfall feature. Also, a broad expanse of concrete pavement has been replaced with a decorative textured surface.

The Cream of the Crop in Professional DSLR Photography
"Dear Mr Bank Manager, I have seen these Professional Digital SLRs and…"
If you are, or ever have been into photography, you will look at these cameras and simply drool! They are the pinnacle of each manufacturer and totally deserve the prefix of "Professional"! They give you the feeling that by just holding one, you become a master photographer in your own right…
They are the cream of the digital SLR family and if you are considering these, you must be DEAD SERIOUS about this hobby/profession. Way back in 2006, I personally had my eyes on the Canon EOS 1DS MKII, and hoped to have it by that summer…
Update 2006 – Ok, the summer came and went and my plans to get the 1DS MKII were kyboshed by my wife announcing that she was pregnant with our second child!
To be honest, the thought of having a daughter greatly outweighs owning a pro DSLR…so I bought the slightly cheaper Canon EOS 1D MKII instead! "Well, I will need something to photograph my expanding family with won't I dear"?
You can read my personal thoughts on this, one of two Professional Digital SLRs from Canon here
August 2007 Update – They got me again. I bought the new upgrade Canon EOS 1D Mark III whilst out shopping for a speedlight!
And here is my Canon EOS 1D Mark III User Review
March 2011 Update – It's been a while and in the past 4 years there have been various upgrades and purchases made…and the kids are now 6 and 8! It is so difficult NOT to upgrade when the likes of Canon and Nikon keep bringing out such excellent professional digital SLR's.
In that time I have bought and loved the Canon EOS 5D (old but still working amazingly well), two of the excellent Canon EOS 5D Mark II's and the newer Canon EOS 7D.
What makes these Professional Digital SLRs so great (And Expensive)?
These cameras are packed with the latest technology and features. The manufacturers spend most of their time and money on research and development for their "Flagship" cameras in order to get the edge on their competitors. What you end up with are incredible works of art that come with a hefty price tag.
Most of these have full-frame 35mm sensors (No cropping), meaning your lenses once again get used at their true focal length. These sensors cost money, to produce, manufacturer and (Unfortunately) to buy.
Main Features
- Full Frame Sensors (Canon EOS 1Ds MK III, 5D I/II and Nikon D3s/D700 etc) – What you see is what you get. There is no 1.6x crop factor like their smaller counterparts (Nikon D300 1.5x, Canon EOS 1D MKIV 1.3x). This also allows for hugely greater quality.
- More Megapixels – Up to 23MP (Canon EOS 1Ds MK III and 5D Mark II) – With this amount of pixels, we have truly surpassed 35mm film quality, some are even saying that the Canon outshines medium format film quality…now we're talking!
- Build Quality/Durability – With titanium and magnesium alloy frames, coupled with rubber mounts and seals, the best of these cameras are weatherproof to a high degree. They will also withstand a drop onto concrete from a metre or so plus the shutters are supposed to last a lot longer.
- Metering – Highly advanced matrix metering gives the pro photographer more to work with and less chance of getting it wrong.
- Speed – The idea with these cameras is to match as closely as possible, the frame rate, start up time and write speed of the best of the film SLRs so you never miss a shot!
- Wireless Capabilities – With the right peripherals, you can take a photograph and have it sent straight to your PC's hard drive instantly, meaning you can shoot all day until you have filled your computers memory! Works for up to 200 feet. Excellent for studio photographers.
Why would we need Professional Digital SLRs?
I would say you had to be either a mad-keen, money-to-burn, "Must have one of those" amateur photographers (nothing wrong with that!), or a professional looking to upgrade his or her kit to match their lenses. That's another point, if you get one of these Professional Digital SLRs, you must compliment it with only the finest lenses. Otherwise it is like putting diesel in a Ferrari!
The files that the best cameras produce can be bigger than 60MB's (uncompressed) with quality to match. This size just happens to be the industry standard for an A3 spread in a glossy magazine or the optimum size accepted by most traditional Stock Agencies. 60MB files are easily achievable with the right software (such as Photoshop CS3, 4 or 5, Genuine Fractals and Neat Image) and I have discussed this more in my Selling Stock Photography section.
If you are a paid nature or sports photographer, there will be situations where you just have to get the shot and your kit will be knocked about or rained upon, and this is where the durability of professional digital SLRs come into their own.

Toast the whole spices in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool slightly and crush in a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder. Mix the sugar, salt, and spices together.
Roughly chop both the lemongrass stalks and cilantro, then mix them together, this can be done either by hand or in a food processor.
Lay the salmon, skin side down on a cutting board. Pull the pin bones from the fillets if needed. Scatter the curing mixture over the fish, and then the lemongrass and cilantro mixture. (This may seem like a lot of rub but use it all.) Sandwich the fillets together, skin side out, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Set the package on a plate, cover with another plate or small baking sheet. Place 2 to 3 cans on top to weight down the fish. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 days flipping the salmon daily.
Unwrap the salmon, and rinse under cold running water to remove the spices and herbs. Dry thoroughly with paper towels. Slice the salmon at a slight angle, as thin as you can.
If doing this ahead lay the salmon on a parchment lined pan, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve on a slice of cucumber or a fingerling potato. Garnish with herbs and serve.

Loyola knocks off Syracuse
Greyhounds hold off Orange rally, advance to championship
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The No. 3 seed Loyola University women's lacrosse team held off a furious second half rally by Syracuse, and beat the No. 2 seed Orange 12-11 in the semifinals of the Big East Championship. Senior Grace Gavin scored a game-high four goals to lead the Greyhounds, which advance to their first Big East Championship title game.
The Greyhounds raced out a 6-0 lead with 10:37 left in the first half and held a 7-3 advantage at halftime. However the Orange (10-8) scored three of the final four goals to close out the frame and carried some momentum into the half.
Gavin, who was named the Big East Attack Player of the Year at the league's award banquet on Wednesday night, tallied three of her four goals in the first half.
In the second half, Loyola opened up a 10-4 advantage with 17:01 left in the contest before Syracuse began to rally. The Orange five of the next six goals and cut it to two, 11-9, with 6:27 remaining in regulation. A Loyola goal by senior Meg Decker pushed the lead back to three, 12-9 with 3:26 left proved to be the gamewinner. Syracuse tacked on two goals down the stretch, but it was not enough.
Each team totaled 11 ground balls, while Syracuse held a 15-10 edge in draw controls.
Loyola goalkeeper Kerry Stoothoff had seven saves, while Syracuse counterpart Liz Hogan made six.

Oh, Orchid.
By: Grant Dudley
She's gone and I'm sad.
Was I surprised by her elimination? I wasn't, but I still hated to see her go. She started off as a front-runner in this competition and a fan favorite. But something happened. She began to change in the last couple of episodes. Did she start to lose confidence? Was she homesick? Were the other finalists intimidating her? Whatever the case, I had been hopeful that she would pull it together and bring back the Orchid we all loved. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Big Fish – Little Girl
Posted on May 8th 2011 under Uncategorized
I love to watch the little kids when they discover the koi "pond" in front of the Ship's Lantern on Centre Street. They get so excited that I've seen a few of them almost take a header straight into the moat. And, if truth be told, lots of the parents are pretty excited to see these big, friendly fish up so close too. One of the joys of being in a small town is that there are ample opportunities like this to remain innocent just a little bit longer.

Life Insurance Quotes From £5pm
Writing a life insurance policy in trust could be an advantage when considering the financial security of your family and loved ones. Many people arrange life insurance as a way of leaving their families with some money should they die.
A trust allows you to set aside assets for your family in which a trustee (s) takes care of them until they are needed or the responsibility can be passed on. There are many potential benefits to placing your life insurance in trust, including:
For existing life insurance policies not under trust the position can be rectified by assigning the policy (ies) to trustees who will then hold the policy on trust on behalf of the beneficiaries. Again many life insurance companies will have draft deeds of assignment which can be obtained on request. If you are unsure of your options you should seek financial advice.
Placing life insurance into trust may be suitable for individuals who have a liability to IHT on their death and who wish to provide provision for beneficiaries with funds to meet this liability:

Install a Mid-Span Rail Post
Five easy steps to help you get that rail post done right.
When using structural screws to install a mid-span rail post, be sure to follow the screw manufacturer instructions to meet code. First, reinforce the rim's connection to the joist by driving a pair of 8-in. screws 1.5-in. from the top and bottom of the rim on either side of where the post will be installed. Second, tack the post into position. Third, cut two pieces of joist stock to serve as blocking and install behind the post. Fourth, secure each piece with a pair of 5-in. screws, driven 1.75-in. from the top and bottom of the joists on each side. Fifth, drive a pair of 8-in. screws through the rim and post and into the blocking. These screws are spaced 2 in. from the top and bottom edge of the rim.

The International School of Space Science of the Consorzio Interuniversitario per la Fisica Spaziale organizes a Course on "Planetary Interiors", to be held in L'Aquila, Italy, September 12-16, 2016, at the Gran Sasso Science Institute and directed by L. Iess, T. Van Hoolst and W. Pecorella.
The school is designed for PhD students, young post-doctoral researchers and engineers working in planetary sciences or instrument development for planetary missions. The school will provide an integrated overview of our current understanding of the interior structure and evolution of planets and satellites, focusing on three complementary modules: 1) Theoretical models, 2) Observational methods and measurements, 3) Space instrumentation. The school intends to contribute to the development of a new generation of planetary scientists and engineers motivated by two major upcoming missions of the European Space Agency, BepiColombo to Mercury in 2017 and JUICE to Jupiter and its satellites in 2022, and several other planetary missions (including NASA's JUNO and InSight missions to Jupiter and Mars) designed to probe the interior of planets and moons. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, the school will explain how current and future planetary missions will be able to broaden our knowledge of the interior structure, dynamics, and evolution of solar system bodies. Mission perspectives and challenges on short and longer term will be discussed, and links with exoplanetary research will be explored.
The program and the list of the lecturers are available in the attached poster.
Applications, including a brief curriculum vitae, are due before June 12, 2016 through the website www.cifs-isss.org/application.asp.

The full song list from the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony
Brilliant, breathtaking, bonkers, bemusing, beautiful – the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Danny Boyle's celebration of British culture has been universally hailed as a triumph! As with Boyle's films, music was an integral and important part of the extravaganza. Alongside Musical Directors Underworld, Boyle devised a patriotic and eclectic playlist featuring music from a wide range of styles and genres including Classical, Punk, Grime, Dance, Ska and Bhangra to name but a few.
The main musical sequences included specially written tracks by Underworld, an 11 minute section by Mike Oldfield and remixes and tracks by High Contrast. These and other music from the Opening Ceremony can be found on the album – 'Isles of Wonder: Music for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games'. The download version was released immediately after the event with the CD version released on 2nd August. However, not all the music from the opening ceremony features on this compilation, so we have compiled a definitive* track-listing for the whole of the Opening Ceremony. *(Please feel free to help us correct any mistakes by adding a comment below this post)
