The white Selador Desire D60 Studio HD LED Luminaire with Stage Pin Connector from ETC uses high-output, white light LEDs to create a suitable fixture for video, film, and other white light only applications where color temperature and skin-tone rendering are critical.
The luminaire offers a rugged, die-cast enclosure, quiet, fan-cooled operation, multiple lens options, and an advanced user interface that enables easy configuration and specific features for video and film professionals.
The fixture can be configured to operate under control of a studio lighting control desk or via stand-alone, no console required settings for location lighting. The D60 Studio HD uses the patented x7 Color System, mixing 5 colors with 2 different white LEDs to create brilliant HD white light with higher color-rendering qualities. It combines warm white and cool white LEDs for variable color temperature mixing. Added to this are 5 carefully chosen LED colors from the Selador x7 Color System to fill in the white LED spectral gaps.
The D60 Studio HD provides a rich variable white light possible in an LED fixture. The Luminaire comes with a hanging yoke, a 25° secondary lens, and 1.5m PowerCON to Stage Pin power cable.
The fixture uses Luxeon Rebel ES emitters specified by the strictest binning standards. However, on-camera LED response varies with different cameras and settings.
Note: All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and color shift over time. LED output will vary with thermal conditions. Ambient temperatures and orientation affect thermal conditions. Based on the LED manufacturer's B50 l70 specification, a Selador luminaire will achieve approx. 70% of its initial output after 50,000 hours of typical usage. In individual situations, LEDs will be used for different durations and at different levels, which may eventually lead to minor alterations in color performance, necessitating slight adjustment to presets, cues or programs.

It's 8:15 p.m. on a Monday night, and Léonie Couture's work day is far from over when she calls from her home to talk about Herstreet, the organization she started 16 years ago and still directs, that offers shelter, therapy and resources to homeless women in downtown Montreal. She had been too busy to talk at the office, writing a funding application that could secure a six-figure grant for Herstreet, so she offered to be interviewed outside office hours. In a soft and serious voice, she spends the next 90 minutes explaining the work that Herstreet does and talking about the women she sees on a daily basis – women she says many people would rather not see at all.
Couture has worked with women in distress for more than 25 years. Before founding Herstreet, she worked for five years at an organization that supports women who have experienced rape or incest. She found that some women were "too hurt to be helped," as they were dealing with issues of addiction, incest, violence, and were unable to function in basic ways, like keeping weekly appointments with support workers at the group.
"I found that the core issue for most women who were experiencing severe difficulties was the violence they had endured in their lives," Couture explains. "It led to drugs, a loss of confidence in themselves, and so much suffering.
"As a feminist, I believed that we needed to find ways to that they could have access to help. They needed a place where they could go during the day if they wanted to talk, eat, or just be there, without any demands placed on them."
And so, in 1994, she founded Herstreet, a tiny organization with a clear mission: to accept women exactly as they are, and offer them help if they want it, but not force them to take it. Herstreet now has 50 employees, two houses that offer short and long-term lodging for women, a variety of therapeutic approaches, and operates on a $1.5 million annual budget with funding from the federal and provincial governments and private donors.
Herstreet has grown, but the mission is the same. Couture maintains workers and volunteers at Herstreet are trained to understand that behaviour deemed unacceptable in society, including loud or violent outbursts, are not to be quelled. Couture believes that these behaviours stem from the violence that women have experienced, and the excruciating physical and emotional suffering are the result.
"They have lived through enormous violence, and we want them to find their voice again," she says. For many people, including those who work with homeless women, the population at Herstreet is "too ugly – they don't want them because the way they express their pain can be really hard if they act paranoid or violent, and they are excluded from other shelters. For us it's just normal. Without judgment, we give them time to gradually tell their stories." Herstreet's mandate is to put in place mechanisms where staff can reach out to women who have been robbed of their ability to connect with the outside world, and help them to develop different survival skills.
In the grand scheme of things, as long as a woman isn't posing a threat to another resident or a staff member, her behaviour will be accepted. That's not to say it's encouraged, Couture says, but it is essential that women feel as safe as they can, and know that no one at Herstreet is going to hurt them or insist that they change.
"If a woman is screaming for no apparent reason," Couture explains, "we're not going to stop her. When she is finished, we may approach her and ask if she wants to talk, and see if there are other ways she could express the pain she's experiencing, but we are not going to tell her that what she is doing is wrong."
The approach was a first in Montreal. There are other shelters that do excellent work for women, but none that operates quite like Herstreet. The mandate includes raising awareness about women and homelessness. Couture stresses that the degree of suffering of the women who find their way to Herstreet means that the goals are not to help them find a job. "It's not poverty that puts women in the street – it's a consequence of being so badly hurt that she can't work. I find it funny when they say why aren't they working. Most never work," she says. Survival is the goal, and successes are celebrated wherever they can be found, small as they might seem.
To demonstrate her point, Couture tells the story of a women who lived in one of Herstreet's residences. For two years, Couture explains, she never once slept in the room. She slept on the floor just outside the room. Sleeping in a bedroom was terrifying because that is where the violence and trauma in her life began. No one at Herstreet questioned her about sleeping in the hallway, or asked her to sleep in her room. Her behaviour was accepted and over time, understood. This was what she needed to do to feel safe enough to go to sleep. One night, out of the blue, she started sleeping in her room, but on the floor next to the bed, fully clothed. The woman needed to feel she could flee in the middle of the night if she was threatened, Couture notes.

Welcome Home!
Drove home to Colorado today and were greeted by this wonderful skyline - Welcome Home! This is the Sierra Blanca Massif group and there are four 14'ers in the photo (and a whole bunch of 13'ers mixed in): Little Bear Peak - 14,037', Ellingwood Point - 14,042', Blanca Peak - 14,345', and Mt Lindsey - 14,042'. Those are some rugged mountains and we DO love Colorado.

By now you've heard the West Asheville news, the main East West-Asheville music venue will be closing doors this Saturday. I got a chance to talk with Ken Klehm and he said he could "wax poetic for hours" about why it didn't quite work out, and he headed the list with the large number of Asheville venues, including those that had very deep pockets and those that were willing to resort to unorthodox activity. But it wasn't sour grapes for Ken, as he included the downturn in economy and size of the venue, with it's high ceilings and wide open spaces not providing quite the cozy and intimate atmosphere that he imagined.
Ken also talked about what he wanted to do now, and he honestly hadn't thought much about it, but scrunched up his face at the thought of putting together a resume to pitch to the 9-5 workforce. "My favorite all-time job was as a SCUBA dive instructor. I was good at it and loved making it fun and exciting for people." Ken has the kind of self-effacing egoless manner that would make a good teacher and he said that "in the 5 or so years i taught he only got one complaint." Which was why the establishment he worked for gave him free rein to teach his style. Ken also reminisced about cave diving - an activity that would scare the crap out of me. His 'final exam' for cave diving certification was to go 1/4 mile into a cave where no surface exits were and buddy-breath with a partner all the way back to the entrance in darkness and while the instructor messed with the return line and undid fin straps to unnerve him. He loved it and never got rattled. Which is the way ken is - unflappable. I don't doubt whatever he does do he'll do with all his heart and soul.
We'll be seeing Ken around East West Asheville probably at the DeSoto Lounge which was started by one of his protogees and is "a fine bar, indeed."

Hi, I had smartxide on half my face 8 days ago for acne scarring. I was told (and, judging by the internet this is the case for everyone else) that after a few days my skins would begin to itch and flake. i have had no itching and no flaking. the swelling has gone down leaving just red skin. does this mean that it has not worked or can i still see effexts without any skin being removed? is there anything i can do to help the process? thanks!

When I actually bought my very own copy of Fallout in its lovely big game box (just like the one pictured above mind) I never thought I was getting something that would end up being truly rare. How wrong and utterly naive of me. For Fallout, you see, besides being a fantastic CRPG and when boxed in its original.. err.. box is one truly expensive PC game. Very rare too. For an impressive 1997 (PC) copy, do try your luck at this Fallout Big Box auction. Seller ships worldwide and if you're lucky you might grab it for less than 600$ (already got a 510$ highest bid at the time of posting!). Alternatively, and provided you care to actually play one of the best games to ever hit the PC, do treat yourselves to a vastly cheaper downloadable version of the game as provided by GOG.com.

In every life there is a turning point.
A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.
After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so… (more)

When I started writing a blog to support my book, Talk Normal: Stop the Business Speak, Jargon and Waffle, I had an inkling that many of the words I loathed were common in the offices where I was working.
But this could be an illusion: Once we're bothered by something, we tend to notice it more. So it could be that the business buzzwords that make me cranky are no more significant than the guy who bumps my chair when he walks past--which, on second thought, isn't a big deal, he's been doing it for years.
Not so, it seems.
I started to run quick statistical analyses of the published language when readers requested an investigation, and found that many idiotic, annoying, or just useless buzzwords and phrases really have infested our inboxes in the last 10 years. Some words are fun or informative. These words are not. If you find that these catchwords frequently litter your conversations or presentations, it's probably time to consult a thesaurus.
- "Issue"
When did we stop having problems and decide to have "issues" instead? The ratio of problems to issues in our magazines and newspapers show that there are about three times as many issues per problem as there were 10 years ago. Are we really so fragile? After all, if we can't call what's happening to the economy at the moment a "problem," we're setting the bar pretty high for the problems of the future."Passion"
The CEO of a firm emailed me to ask why all his interviewees claimed to be "passionate about marketing" these days. A quick Google check on what people are claiming to be passionate about in the last 24 hours: secured loan leads; transformation; rubbish; logistics; plankton. The recruiter's question: "Are you passionate about...?" is now just a test to see how well we fake it. At least "passionate about plankton" would make a good T-shirt."Unique"
As a Brit I can be proud that HMS Unique was, confusingly, built as one of 49 identical submarines. Don't let anyone tell you that we didn't ruin the language first. Yet, as I write, there have been 826 press releases claiming that something is "unique" in the last seven days. Everything, we must conclude, is now special in its own exquisite way."Iconic"
We're supposed to find a person or thing desirable, but we don't know why. Iconicness seems to be a 21st-century phenomenon: Since 2000, we're about eight times as likely to find something "iconic" in the press. Two areas in which this growth rate has been twice as fast: accountancy and solid waste. You can't make it up."Role"
Our parents had jobs or, if they were lucky, careers. We entertain ourselves by claiming we have roles, as if our work is a personal soap opera. During the long boom, the ratio of roles to jobs went from 10:1 to about 4:1. You will not be surprised to learn that, since 2007, this ratio has returned to pre-2001 levels."Transparency"
Six times as popular in the business press as it was in 2002; about one in 40 press releases claim it. It's taking over "honesty" and "integrity," maybe because you can claim transparency without any suggestion you're doing something that improves anyone's life. Note: The glass industry uses "transparency" in marketing less than the average, but the audit industry uses it ten times as often. Draw your own conclusions."Empowerment"
Not a bad word in itself--but if I buy something from you, you are not "empowering" me. It's a sneaky way of dodging what the wafflers call the brand promise: They didn't say the jeans would make me a better person; their clothes just "empowered me" to lay claim to my own betterness. I get it: If my life is as crappy as it was before, it's my fault. If it improves, all hail the denim.Tim Phillips is a freelance journalist. He is the author of Talk Normal: Stop the Business Speak, Jargon and Waffle, Knockoff, Fit to Bust and co-author of best selling Scoring Points, all published by Kogan Page.

Is this a Unique Issue on an Iconic subject where we all have a Role in demonstrating Transparency and Empowerment.
Or is this just a one-off special problem on a desirable subject where we all have a job to demonstrate with honesty and integrity how you can take charge of your own destiny.

Re: Huffco/Comet out of Business
Speculation only on this topic, but the tech dude that I deal with at Team had previously tested various clutches for Redline prior to them going with Comet. It would certainly seem like a great move as the Team guy seemed to know his stuff and spent hours with me, while the Comet guy seemed like I was bugging a union worker on his coffee break.....
The mentality of the two companies was night and day for the lowly consumer (me)!! Also, Team Industries is only 30 minutes down the road from Redline in Minnesota.

Re: Huffco/Comet out of Business
Brothers David Hoff and Stephen Hoff founded Hoffco in 1949, but the company had its roots in a century-old business owned by their father. In 1865, Ben Starr and Ezra Nye organized a sheet metal business at 185 Fort Wayne Ave., where they made cups, candle molds, fruit cans and other items. The business passed to W.W. Alexander in 1883, which made cornices, ornamental bay windows and metal fronts. The company then was sold to John Schultz and Isaac Lanning. Harry J. Hoff began working at the firm in the 1920s and owned it wholly by 1935, when he moved Hoff Sheet Metal Inc. to 411 N. Eighth St. The company did metal fabrication and sold and maintained furnaces and air conditioners. Among its notable creations was a huge cross for St. John Lutheran Church. In the 1940s, David Hoff and Stephen Hoff had the task of trimming grass and brush from the banks of "Stony Gulch" on the family property along Elkhorn Creek. Steve Hoff sought an easier way to handle the task and had the idea to combine a scythe with an outboard motor engine. Working through their father's company, the Hoff brothers introduced the portable power Scythette in 1949. The brothers and their father founded Hoffco to handle the power tool business, first operating at 25 Washington Ave. From the Scythette, they developed attachments such as a brush saw, chain saw, rotary tiller, rotary trimmer and sickle bar cutter. The company also developed a chain saw, which it manufactured until the 1970s. Here's how the company developed: 1955 -- Hoffco's power tools were used around the world, including at the White House. 1958 -- Hoffco was the second-largest manufacturer of go-karts in the United States, and in 1960, the company began sponsoring a go-kart racing team in England and Italy. 1962 -- The company employed 100 people and the Comet division was making clutches, brakes, axels and wheel assemblies. 1964 -- The Hoffs began patenting blade brake clutches for lawnmowers, long before the 1981 federal mandate requiring the safety feature on all lawnmowers. 1968 -- A long strike at Hoff Sheet Metal led the company to liquidate, but Harry Hoff remained an officer of Hoffco. 1972 -- Texan George Ballas came to the Hoffs seeking assistance with his invention, a monofilament trimmer, better known as the WeedEater. Hoffco designed and built all the power WeedEaters from 1972 to 1978, when the brand was sold to Emerson Electric. 1978 -- Harry Hoff died. 1980s -- Hoffco was operating at 358 N.W. F St., where it built a new addition for its Comet Industries division. The company was manufacturing more than 200 products and held more than 100 patents. 1989 -- Stephen Hoff died. 1990s -- Hoffco and Comet Industries employed about 200 people and was among Wayne County's top 25 employers. It had in excess of $17 million in annual sales in 1990. 1993 -- The Tenax Corporation of Indianapolis bought Hoffco/Comet Industries. 1996 -- David Hoff retired from Hoffco. He died in 2007. 1999 -- The company had 1,000 customers in 40 countries. Production expanded to include building cabs for construction and agricultural equipment and mini-bulldozers used in the forestry industry. The company also made parts and products for John Deere, Murray Corp., Homelite and Snapper. 2003 -- A $2.06 million, 10-year abatement was approved by the Richmond Common Council for new equipment at Hoffco for a new product line, a patented rubberized manhole cover that was tested in Richmond. 2009 -- Tenax owner John Bratt announced the closing of the 60-year-old Hoffco. |
Re: Huffco/Comet out of Business
I know the Trophy carts for the kids had a comet clutch. they have now spec'd in a billet aluminum clutch that is what the Jr Dragsters run. It is rated at only 80HP but maybe they make something stronger. I have a meeting for the Lucas Oil Off Road racing on Monday night and will talk to the Trophy cart guys about who makes that clutch and see if they can make something for us.
Thank you Red Rock powersports, Harmon Racing Cells, Blackmore Sign's and T's, Psychoholic Racing, Lucas Oil Products and 777 Race Cars. |

Instead, use cheap (or salvaged) parts to build your own box, as media server hardware doesn't have to be top-notch. The biggest hurdle is choosing what operating system to use. For free and fully functional, the article suggest Ubuntu. The catch: it's not that easy to configure. The other option would be to go with the expensive, albeit easy OS (Windows Media Server). Advertisement Windows Home Server had a set-it-and-forget-it appeal that required minimum management time. But we found the Ubuntu server more rewarding for the geeky hobbyist who is willing to spend time experimenting with the software creations of the open-source community. Either way, we got a powerful machine for minimal investment.While Ubuntu is the article's Linux distro of choice, you're certainly open to trying other flavors of Linux for the same purpose.

Paintings from the Clark
February 13th, 2013

This week, however, Diablo III's lead designer, Jay Wilson, posted a blog stating that his team is happy with the new art direction for Diablo III. According to Wilson, the game has progressed too far in its development for any major artistic changes to take place. Wilson had other reasons for his team's decision to adopt a new colorful art palette for the upcoming sequel. He believes that the traditionally dark and gothic art style of the first two Diablo titles would not look as good in the new game's fully three-dimensional environments. He also contends that said darker art style, when it does appear in 3D titles, tends to appear in shorter games like Gears of War.
Wilson also had a statement in regards to allegations that Diablo III had adopted an art style similar to World of Warcraft:
"I think it's impossible for us to not be influenced by our other creations... there�s a lot of back and forth between the two games, and I don�t think there�s anything wrong with that. We look at World of Warcraft and the art style there is more cartoony than we wanted, but in terms of target identification and having a world that feels like you can move through it and spend lots of time in it, there's a lot of elements to the art style that really work. We wanted an art style that really feels like Blizzard. And we pull new influences from a lot of areas. I think people over-emphasize the World of Warcraft comparison. But are we influenced by World of Warcraft? Of course. As I think anyone who makes games nowadays, they have to be."

Scene in Cannes: Kidman's Caviar, Gatsby Party, Streaker
Farah NayeriLeonardo DiCaprio partied like it was pre-1929. Bryan Ferry put on a mini-concert. And Nicole Kidman sampled a refreshing starter of pea-and-caviar mousse.
All were participants in a round of champagne-fueled festivities that marked the opening of the Cannes Film Festival with "The Great Gatsby." Celebrations began with a sit-down dinner of sea bass (hosted by the festival) where DiCaprio loosened his bow tie and "Gatsby" actress Isla Fisher -- the mechanic's cheating wife -- enthused over box-office numbers.
"I'm so happy with how the movie went down!" she said, referring to the $51 million grossed on the U.S. opening weekend. "It seemed to me that people really responded to it."
Fisher pronounced Cannes "absolutely fabulous," regardless of the wet weather.
As diners finished their amuse-bouches, there was a burst of applause upon the arrival of this year's nine-member jury, led by its smiling president, Steven Spielberg.
Juror Kidman, her blond hair in a sophisticated coiffure, took her seat at a table with Japanese co-panelist Naomi Kawase, who speaks through an interpreter.
From there, festivalgoers sloshed through the pouring rain toward the far end of the port, where a domed tent marked "Gatsby" and crowned with a replica of the movie's eyeglass billboard was set up to receive them.
Guests in ball gowns and black ties entered the Art Deco concert hall, where dancers in flapper dresses performed to bursts of candy-wrapper confetti.
Bryan Ferry
Working the dance floor at the party's start was "Gatsby" director Baz Luhrmann. Later, from a mezzanine, he enjoyed the live music provided, first, by Bryan Ferry's ensemble of jazz instrumentalists, then by Ferry himself. Hair blow-dried and gray around the temples, the singer wearily crooned three tunes, as a lanky reveler in a beige suit swayed awkwardly and out of time.
Ferry was followed by singer Florence Welch (of Florence + the Machine), who wore a slinky beige gown to blast out one song before fireworks lit up the rainy skies.
As at the Gatsby mansion, champagne abounded all night. Served alongside it were French mini-eclairs that Gatsby would have had difficulty sourcing on Long Island.
As every year, Cannes also provided large doses of street entertainment. A handful of protesters representing the Troma horror-movie company picketed the festival in what they called the "Occupy Cannes" movement to complain of their exclusion from Hollywood. One burly member briefly streaked to make his point, then disappeared before risking arrest.
Red Carpet
Further along, stargazers staked out the red carpet with step ladders and deck chairs padlocked to the security barriers.
"It's practically the only spot in the world where you can see so many stars concentrated in one place," said Jo Morpelli, 70, who this year celebrates his 30th festival. "We saw Leonardo last night. Not bad, is it? It's just been a bit damp these last few years." Morpelli is from Saint Raphael, near Cannes.
A few blocks along the seafront Boulevard de la Croisette, a Belle Epoque landmark -- the Intercontinental Carlton Hotel -- celebrated its centenary. Reporters were shown around the classically furnished suite where Alfred Hitchcock shot part of "To Catch a Thief" (1955) starring Grace Kelly.
The hotel has seen plenty of guest antics over the years. Actress Faye Dunaway required her bathtub to be filled with goat milk.
More recently, when actor and martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme worked out on his balcony, he found dozens of onlookers gathered underneath. As a crowd-pleasing stunt, he flung his T-shirt at them, then tossed down every pillow, towel, sheet and duvet he could find. The hotel was not amused: According to its general manager Francois Chopinet, Van Damme was billed for each item.
(Farah Nayeri writes for Muse, the arts and leisure section of Bloomberg News. The views expressed are her own.)
Muse highlights include Mark Beech on London weekend, Richard Vines on food, Lewis Lapham on history, Amanda Gordon's Scene Last Night and Jeremy Gerard on U.S. theater.

When 25-1 shot Encke beat hot, 5-2 on, favourite Camelot in the final classic flat race of the season, the St Leger, at Doncaster last autumn, it was the bookies, not the punters, who were laughing all the way to the bank.
Similarly, Chelsea and Bayern Munich drawing 1-1 at full time in the Champions League Final, England's 0-0 draw with Italy in the Euros and Bubba Watson's victory in the US Golf Masters were all big days for the betting industry.
This run of form helped William Hill to a 20 per cent surge in operating profits on a 12 per cent rise in revenues in 2012.
Its chief executive Ralph Topping said: "The fourth quarter delivered a strong end to an already good year in 2012. Performance was robust in retail, and profits continued to grow strongly online."
William Hill Online's revenues rose 27 per cent but bets over the counter in shops were down by 1 per cent.
That was partly offset by a 5 per cent rise in the amount wagered in slot machines in shops.
The group said that it expects to complete the £454m takeover of Sportingbet's Australian and Spanish operations within the next couple of months.

All about home
There are rows of knee-high lights on either side of the path leading towards the block of flats, where people hang towels from their balconies and watch TVs behind their closed curtains. They choose the exact moment I walk past to turn themselves on. They know all about failing light, and all about home.

'Man in a Wheelbarrow' by Annora Spence
Two men meet in the road as if by chance - one on a unicycle with a large bird under his arm, the other in a wheelbarrow with a smaller bird perched on his head. The man on the unicycle is juggling, the whellbarrow man is blowing a trumpet. The men are both wearing neat bowler hats. The hill behind them is a gorgeous rosy orange, and there are two dark poplars on the horizon. This is a universe I can understand.

hey guys i found a useful website. it's about to convert hijri shamsi date to it's equal miladi. if you want to know when is your birthday in miladi calendar, or anything else like that, then you can use it.
click here to go to the wbsite.
I don't know why but the online converter (the above link) is filtered for Iranian users, so in this new link you can download a local program to do the job. thanx to the developer and here is the link:
Note that this program requires .NET Framework v3.5 to be installed.
but if you still wanna use the online version here is another one with ability to convert Hijri dates also.

MP3 player
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An MP3 player is a portable audio device people can use to listen to songs saved in the MP3 format. They can use USB cords or Wi-Fi to connect the device to computers, so that computer files can be transferred to players internal memory. MP3s are audio files that have been made smaller by removing sounds that the human ear cannot hear. Many newer MP3 players can also be used to view images or movies, or play games. The most well-known MP3 player is the iPod.

Latest Speed Hack: Make Your Web Browsing Fly!! OK kids, for those of you who haven't seen this yet, I direct your attention over to http://www.qusers.com for the latest trick to make your Q fly!! Essentially this involves a minor Registry edit, changing your Q's default Verizon servers to OpenDNS servers. The procedure is described here: http://www.qusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4642 Further info: http://www.opendns.com/ The Registry edit is simple and takes seconds. I haven't had a chance to run before and after benchmarks tests, but perceptually it makes web browsing much, much faster.. Your mileage may vary, however.. The only downside I've experienced is that the Registry changes don't stick.. Which is to say that if I shut off my phone, the DNS entries revert to the default entries. Some people get this to stick, others don't.. But again, no big deal.. I turn my phone on in the AM, open my Registry Editor, change the 2 DNS entries and i'm good to go again.. Very simple.. Check it out.. Great fun!! Ballzo
Good find! It's a HUGE performance increase! Here are the name servers I used: Edit this registry key: HKEY\Comm\Cellular Line\Parms\TcpIp\DNS Default values are: 184.108.40.206 18.104.22.168 Change them to: 184.108.40.206 126.96.36.199 Blazing improvement!
Newb question here. Ummm, how do I get to the registry to edit it? I've searched but just can't find that pot of gold. Thanks Akakios
Never mind! I found the registry editor. I'm going in! I'm getting the Access Denied notice... any help? Did I download the wrong editor? I got the mobile registry editor. Thanks in advance Akakios :thumbup:
I tried this last night, but when I visit the welcome.opendns.com I get the "oops" screen, which indicates I am not using the DNS servers. I tried it multiple times, restarted the phone, re-entered the DNSs (cause they revert on restart), left in the hard returns, still nothing. What am I doing wrong? EDIT: OK Never mind!!!!!! It just worked. Now if I could only get the settings to stick......
Yeah, that is strange... if you reboot the phone the settings revert to their factory settings. I wonder if there is some other registry setting that needs to be changed.
Humm, strange... My setting are now sticking. I've rebooted the phone 3 times and my DNS changes haven't reverted back to default. I didn't do anything to make them stick... They didn't stick for the first couple of reboots. I suspect they'll reset to default at some point down the road when I least expect it.
Has anybody else gotten their server settings to stick??? Mine reverts back when I haven't even re-booted... Austin
my phone won't let me edit these values. It just resets the values after you click done. Maybe this is another Telus thing...they couldn't even release an update for us in Canada yet...to the best of my knowledge only Americans on Verizon can get it.
Someone has posted a small executable that automates the process of changing the DNS entries. You can find it here: http://darklodge.com/phonefiles/q/misc/SetOpenDNS/ In order to install it, however, you may need to install first, the Microsoft. Net 2.0 Framework, which you may find here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0c1b0a88-59e2-4eba-a70e-4cd851c5fcc4&displaylang=en The install is very easy to do. The OpenDNS executable works on my phone, but all it does is automate changing the DNS entries. On my phone at least, the Open DNS server changes DO NOT stick. The deal is you install the SetOpen DNS program. It changes the DNS entries on your phone. You must run the executable EVERYTIME. This is NOT, however, a "set it and forget it" program. I run the program from File Manager or Explorer 2003, if you have that program. It's just an executable. It automatically changes your DNS entries. If for whatever reason your DNS entries revert to the default Verizon settings on your phone, you must run the program again. I think the DHCP is renewed periodically, thus the changes don't stick but I'm not sure. It's kind of a hassle doing all this, however the speed increases in your web browsing, IMHO, are worth the effort.. B
Trying to get this too work, but I am not sure how to edit the registry. I have the editor listed in the WIKI installed, but I can not find the registry itself. Can someone help me? I have never done a hack, so I am new at this. Thanks
has anyone else tried the executable yet? I am curious to hear if it has worked without problem for anyone else
Dang, spoke to soon. MIne will not keep at all. Everytime I open IE it reverts back, but it seems to be faster for a little while. Any ideas?
Does anyone know if changing the DNS for speeding up the internet will interfere with the Verizon Wireless Sync? I tried the .exe off my miniSD card, but it wouldn't run - said it wasn't digitally signed... And last, how do you upload files to the Q once you intialize the Verizon Wireless Sync? It shuts down ActiveSync so no data passes back and forth - can't load the .net upgrade or install the OpenDNS executeable. Thanks.

Used the Crane unit in three installations as of now and other than a little "fitting" of the breaker plates to make them move properly, they work nicely. Crane does state that a little work may need to be done to fit the parts so expect this.
If you don't use a vacuum advance, fitting of the parts would not be necessary. Crane does include a rev limiter. I have not used a Pertronix unit. John |
i've used both and neither have yet to fail on me. The crane unit does have a built-in rev limiter, which is neat, but like boss68 said, there is a fitment issue you'll have to get past to install it into the stock distributor. the pertronix unit bolts right in (as does the pertronix II, which is the "twice as much" price). the pertronix I unit is about the same price as the crane, but without the rev limiter....
Perktronics vs crane
What the guys said about the two units are right. I have the Crane unit and what I like about it is that I have the old points and condenser in the trunk and if the Crane unit ever fails in nowhere land I can just reinstall the points and condenser and be on my way. You can't do that with the Perk unit.
I haven't used the Crane, but I absoluely love my pertronix. If you have clearance issues a possible solution is to get an air cleaner off a late 70s passenger car with the offset air cleaner. They made them with a dogleg bolt so they sit farther forward on the carb to clear HEIs.
Here in BC the insurance provider is really strict when they issue collector plates, if I were ever in an accident and I had anything non stock in appearance on the car they would void my coverage, I had to submit 10 photo's of the car when I applied for the plates so unfortunatley I have to stick with the original air cleaner.

NY to cover costs of moving Sandy power lines
Cuomo and LIPA have developed a plan to cover the costs of raising or relocating power lines using federal funds the state received for hurricane relief.

North Chicago fired one police officer and suspended another today for their roles in the violent arrest of a man who died a week after he was taken into custody.
Officials immediately dismissed Officer Brandon Yost and suspended Officer Arthur Strong for 30 days without pay. Four other officers and one sergeant involved in the arrest who had been temporarily placed on desk duty were returned to regular duties without penalty.
The action comes in the case of Darrin "Dagwood" Hanna, 45, who was arrested Nov. 6 in his North Chicago apartment, where police said he slapped and tried to drown his pregnant girlfriend. He died in a hospital of multiple factors, according to the Lake County Coroner, including physical restraint and Taser shocks, as well as chronic cocaine abuse, hypertension, kidney disease and sickle cell disease.
His death prompted a public uproar, which led to an investigation by Illinois State Police. The Lake County State's Attorney's office concluded officers committed no crime, saying they acted "reasonably and appropriately" to subdue a large man police said rushed them with clenched fists yelling, "Shoot me."
Yost was fired for repeatedly punching Hanna in the face, which was unnecessary force, and for an unspecified falsification of reports on the incident, interim Chief James Jackson said. Strong's reported use of force, kneeling on the back of Hanna's legs, was considered acceptable, but he was disciplined for falsifying a report by indicating Hanna was swinging a flashlight.
Mayor Leon Rockingham Jr. and Jackson made the announcement at a news conference at North Chicago City Hall, where a crowd of protesters led by civil rights leader Jesse Jackson greeted the news angrily. People in the crowd yelled "cover up" and chanted, "murderers."
"These six officers should be fired and charged with murder," Jackson said.
TheU.S. Department of Justiceis conducting a preliminary inquiry into the case, which is a step short of a full investigation.

Family of Four!
Tomorrow marks two weeks since bringing Jonah home. We are doing okay, lots of challenges but definitely some great moments mixed in.
I will try to write more soon. Joshua no longer naps so it is not as easy to find time to blog.
Here is our first family photo at the airport after John and Joshua met us there and one of me with my two boys.
We are so grateful to God for these two boys. There was a time when John and I wondered if we would ever be parents and now we have two sons!

In my arms...
...after almost 21 months of waiting. J
onah has been with me for about four hours now, so far it is going amazingly well!!! We had our custody meeting in a small meeting room at our agency's cafe and since they have Wifi, we were able to FaceTime with John not long after his foster mom left. Jonah knew exactly who he was and kept saying "Appa, Appa (daddy in Korean). He also calls me omma and seems to recognize me. So far no tears from him, we will see how he does when he wakes up from his nap. He is so amazing, he runs everywhere, he is very curious, and such a sweetheart. Visa interview also went really well, so the last official part of the process here in Korea is complete! Please keep praying for my little boy's heart and also for his foster family, they loved him so much.

Korea Trip #2
I am sitting at LAX right now, next stop Seoul!!! I take custody of
Jonah on Friday at 11am (7pm Thursday Arizona time, 10 pm on the east coast). His Visa interview is scheduled for Monday and we fly home Tuesday night. Prayers for a smooth transition are so greatly appreciated!
Tuesday, September 17, 2013
At 6:58 this morning my phone rang... I let out a shriek as I ran to pick it up. It was the call we have been waiting for- FINAL APPROVAL!!! We are now officially and legally the parents of Jonah RiYoon! There was a time when John and I thought we would never be parents and now we have two sons. I can't stop crying - so overwhelmed with joy and relief.
"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy."
I am so sorry to all those who have followed our journey and to my family and friends that keep up with us through this blog for having to take down blog posts and for not being able to post updates from Korea. Just prior to our first meeting with Jonah, we heard that officials may be monitoring social media and would not look favorably upon posting pictures or details about our adoption process so I needed to be cautious. Now that we are legally his parents I hope to be able to post some pictures and details about our trip.
Overall, we had a great trip. Joshua is a fabulous traveler. He did so well on both plane rides and touring around Korea. He also handled the meeting with his foster mom really well.
Our court date
went great. We had the nicest judge. He told us we had approval at the end and that he thought we would be great parents for Jonah (almost made me cry). We still had to wait for the written preliminary approval, but it was such a relief to know we had approval. We are living proof that you can still get approval with a somewhat disruptive, not perfectly
behaved child. Joshua only got a 20 minute nap and the court was running late, so by the time we got in there, he was not at his best! As soon as we got in, he loudly pronounced that he was hungry, wouldn't sit still, kept talking, etc, but the judge didn't even blink an eye over it.
The most difficult part was the meetings with Jonah.
Our first meeting with Jonah was especially difficult; he was very shy with me and wouldn't interact with me at all. It was way beyond normal two year old stranger anxiety. It was obvious he knew something was up and he wanted no part of it whatsoever! Who could blame him. He was much more receptive to John though, which makes complete sense because he is closest to his foster mom. He and Joshua also did not get along very well. Our social worker visited him last February and we know from her description that the way he was acting was very out of character. It makes me sad that we didn't get to see his real personality prior to his world being completely turned upside down.
Our second meeting with Jonah was much better. He still overwhelmingly preferred John, but I did have a great moment with him taking turns blowing bubbles, I would blow some air, make a face, and he would just crack up. Made me so happy! I was just so grateful for this; he actually gave me eye contact and it just made me feel like event
ually everything will be okay. The most challenging part was the two boys, they did not get along well at all. Let's just say that we are calling it a win, since there was no blood. In all seriousness though this will be one of the most challenging aspects of bringing Jonah home; the level of violence was way beyond brothers fighting as brothers do,
so PLEASE don't tell me they are just fighting like brothers.
Brothers may fight, but they still share love and a bond which Joshua and Jonah do not yet have. We would so appreciate your prayers for their relationship.
I will be heading back to Korea next week!

Blog posts
I made many of my prior blog posts drafts and will republish them when/if we receive court approval. I needed to take them down because they contained pictures of Jonah and could possibly be seen by officials in Korea. I am sorry.

19 Months of Waiting....
...has almost come to an end! We leave VERY soon for Korea. We will meet Jonah on August 23rd in Korea (9pm Eastern, 6pm AZ time on August 22nd in the U.S.). Immediately following our meeting with Jonah, we will meet with Joshua's foster mother and possibly foster father. I am hoping he will be there; Joshua was very close to him and even though it may be difficult, I think it may be good for Joshua to see him.
Whether to visit with Joshua's foster family was a difficult decision. Many kids from Korea seem to enjoy looking at pictures of their foster family, but Joshua completely shutdown after coming home and did not want to look at them. He went through a period around 16 months home where he would finally look at their pictures and even hung them on the refrigerator, but that didn't last long. When I would ask Joshua if he wanted to visit them, he would tell me no. We have been praying about this and
asking others to pray
. We have seen God move in answer to prayer. Joshua has been talking about going to Korea, even telling his teacher he was going on "two airplanes" when she asked if he was going on an airplane to Korea. And when I asked him who we were going to visit, he told me, "Mrs. Choi" and seemed completely at peace about it.
We have also seen God moving in preparing Joshua's heart for having a brother. Prior to very recently, Joshua would answer no when asked if he wanted a brother. Now whenever we read a story that has a mommy animal and two babies, he says, "That's me, that's Jonah, and that's you." :-)
After our meetings, we will sight-see and hopefully have at least one other meeting with Jonah. We go to court on August 28th at 2:30pm (1:30 am Eastern, 10:30 pm AZ time). So pray for us before you go to bed on August 27th!
We would appreciate your prayers so much. We have already seen how God is working in answer to them. Please pray for:
Safe, smooth travel and for Joshua to do well on the long flights
Meetings with Jonah and his foster mom go well, able to ask questions and get answers that will help tell his story of his life in Korea
Meeting with Joshua's foster family go well, no anxiety for Joshua, and for him to be open to them
Fun time as a family in Korea seeing the sights
Court appearance go well and that we would be able to satisfactorily answer the judges questions and receive quick approval
Joshua be well behaved in Court!!!
I can't believe we will finally be in Korea meeting Jonah! Here he is receiving his 2nd birthday care package - love his little smile. Can't wait to meet my sweet boy!
Thursday, July 11, 2013
We Have a Court Date!!!!!
We finally have a court date for Jonah. After EP approval, our paperwork was submitted immediately to the court. It only took them two weeks to assign us a court date. It is much further away than we had hoped, but at this point we are just happy to be moving forward.
We go to court on August 28th!!! That means we will fly to Korea some time the week prior because we need to be there 4-5 business days ahead of our court date to meet Jonah and give the Korean agency time to file some paperwork with the court.
We are finally going to get to meet our son!!!!!!
By the time we meet him, we will have waited 19 months from the time that our acceptance paperwork was sent to Korea. Since both John and I need to appear in court, all three of us will travel to Korea for the first trip. Then we will all come home and I will go back 3-5 weeks later to bring Jonah home.
We applied for Joshua's passport a little later than we should have, though with enough time given the projected processing times. We were waiting because we were hoping to receive his certificate of citizenship in time to send it in with the application. We are still waiting on it, so in June we realized we needed to go ahead and apply for the passport without it since it is not technically required (just makes it easier). Please pray we quickly receive Joshua's passport with no delays.
Also, please be praying that God prepares all of our hearts for Jonah and his heart for us. Jonah will have lived with his foster family for two years by the time we get to bring him home. Pray also that Joshua's heart is ready to be in Korea again and visit his foster family.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Vandals attacked a monastery in Jerusalem and a prominent school with a mixed Jewish-Arab student body on Tuesday, and police said they suspected Jewish extremists were behind the violence.
"Death to Christians" and other Hebrew-language graffiti was scrawled on the Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Cross in Jerusalem, while "Death to Arabs" was sprayed across a wall outside the bilingual "Hand in Hand" school in another part of the city.
Israeli police said they were investigating both incidents. Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that "price tag" was also painted at the monastery — a reference to a practice of Jewish extremists who lash out against the Israeli government for actions against settlers.
Such acts usually target West Bank mosques but have recently expanded to include a mosque inside Israel, Israeli military bases, and now, a Christian holy site and a school.
Israel's Army Radio reported that "Maccabees of Migron" was painted on the monastery, too. Maccabees were ancient Jewish heroes, and Migron is an unauthorized settlement facing a court-ordered evacuation next month.
In the West Bank, Palestinians said "Mohammed is a pig" and other hateful slogans were also found spray-painted near a gas station of an Arab village. Rosenfeld had no information about that incident.
Hard-line settlers believe Israel has a God-given right to the West Bank and east Jerusalem, territories Israel captured in 1967, and reject Palestinian claims to those lands.
Extremists, believed to be young Jewish settlers, have carried out dozens of attacks on Palestinians over the past two years, chopping down olive trees, vandalizing agricultural land and setting fire to mosques. Few arrests have been made.
The Abraham Fund Initiatives, which operates educational coexistence projects between Jewish and Arab citizens, condemned the graffiti at the Jerusalem school, one of the few places in the city where Jews and Arabs work and study together.
"The political violence against Arab citizens, dubbed 'price tag,' is aimed this time toward education for shared living between Arabs and Jews in Israel," it said. "This is an attack on a place that represents the wish of Arabs and Jews to build together a better future for their children."
The Monastery of the Cross building dates back to the 11th century and stands on the site that tradition holds was the location of the tree used to make the crucifiction cross.

Taking action to control your risk factors can help prevent or delay coronary heart disease (CHD). Your risk for CHD increases with the number of CHD risk factors you have.
One step you can take is to adopt a heart healthy lifestyle. A heart healthy lifestyle should be part of a lifelong approach to healthy living.
For example, if you smoke, try to quit. Smoking can raise your risk for CHD and heart attack and worsen other CHD risk factors. Talk with your doctor about programs and products that can help you quit. Also, try to avoid secondhand smoke.
For more information about quitting smoking, go to the Health Topics Smoking and Your Heart article and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's (NHLBI's) "Your Guide to a Healthy Heart."
Following a healthy diet also is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet includes a variety of vegetables and fruits. It also includes whole grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy products, and protein foods, such as lean meats, poultry without skin, seafood, processed soy products, nuts, seeds, beans, and peas.
A healthy diet is low in sodium (salt), added sugars, solid fats, and refined grains. Solid fats are saturated fat and trans fatty acids. Refined grains come from processing whole grains, which results in a loss of nutrients (such as dietary fiber).
The NHLBI's Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) are two programs that promote healthy eating.
If you're overweight or obese, work with your doctor to create a reasonable weight-loss plan. Controlling your weight helps you control CHD risk factors.
Be as physically active as you can. Physical activity can improve your fitness level and your health. Talk with your doctor about what types of activity are safe for you.
For more information about physical activity, go to the Health Topics Physical Activity and Your Heart article and the NHLBI's "Your Guide to Physical Activity and Your Heart."
Know your family history of CHD. If you or someone in your family has CHD, be sure to tell your doctor.
If lifestyle changes aren't enough, you also may need medicines to control your CHD risk factors. Take all of your medicines as prescribed.
For more information about lifestyle changes and medicines, go to "How Is Heart Disease Treated?"

Baking Corn in the Husk in the Oven
Can you cook corn in the husk in the oven? You can cook ears of corn in the oven, either wrapped in foil or in the husks. If you want to bake them in the husks, soak them in a bucket of water for at least a half an hour, place them on a sheet pan, and then bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20 to 30 minutes. If you don't soak the corn, the kernels will dry out before the corn is cooked. The wet-husk method, which many people use for grilling corn (outside the house), may be a little sloppy for inside your kitchen, so you might prefer the foil method instead. |

1Papaya-Clay Combo Could Cut Water Purification Costs in Developing Countries
June 13th, 2013 by pressroom
An inexpensive new material made of clay and papaya seeds removes harmful metals from water and could lower the cost of providing clean water to millions of people in the developing world, scientists are reporting. Their study on this "hybrid clay" appears in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.
Emmanuel Unuabonah and colleagues explain that almost 1 billion people in developing countries lack access to reliable supplies of clean water for drinking, cooking and other key uses. One health problem resulting from that shortage involves exposure to heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury, released from industrial sources into the water. Technology exists for removing those metals from drinking water, but often is too costly in developing countries. So these scientists looked for a more affordable and sustainable water treatment adsorbent.
They turned to two materials readily available in some developing countries. One was kaolinite clay, used to make ceramics, paint, paper and other products. The other: seeds of the Carica papaya fruit. Both had been used separately in water purification in the past, but until now, they had not been combined in what the scientists term "hybrid clay." Their documentation of the clay's effectiveness established that the material "has a strong potential for replacing commercial activated carbon in treatment of wastewater in the developing world."

Doing It All for My Baby*
No Thursday Thirteen for the day. Instead, I will show you how I found out that we are having a party at my house on Friday.
To: All H's Coworkers, -R-
From: H
Subject: Invite
I am planning a poker/guitar hero party this Friday starting at 7ish. [5 named coworkers] are already planning on attending. Email me back if you intend on being there. If you do not know what guitar hero is let me know. Please let me know by Thursday if you plan on attending so YOU will know how much food and liquor YOU will have to bring for EVERYONE.
If someone is not on the [e-mail distribution list], please invite them.
B.Y.O. Chair
When I called H to find out what was going on and asked why he didn't run this by me first, he said, "But I told you about it in advance!" So as long as I am invited to this party at my own house, and I knew about the party before it actually began, H thinks we are good. To quote Jonniker and Guinness Girl, "GAH!"
[I am not mad, but I am annoyed. I think the party will be fun though.]

Is that what we call "fair warning"? Or is that H's definition?
But c'mon, you know you can't go wrong with Poker and Guitar Hero! - 12:00 AM
- don't call me MA'AM said...
I have outlawed poker in my house. The husband can have poker in the garage, but his smelly, dirty friends are not allowed in the house. And I'm not even a clean freak.
Yeah, I would be miffed if the invitation was a surprise like that. I never buy that "I told you a long time ago" excuse either. You should hold out for something big now. Jewelry maybe? A new car? Something that constitutes ample compensation. ;-) - 12:33 AM
- 3carnations said...
I call foul. You can't plan a gathering at your house without the other person knowing about it. For all he knows you were hoping to go to a movie that night or something...Or sit home and have a quiet evening.
But have fun anyway! - 9:13 AM
- PreppyGirl said...
This sounds like a total Galoot move (sorry honey). Actually, now that we have kids he would tend to ask me in advance (because our schedules are so nuts dealing with the little ones and all).
Galoot is actually more likely to tell either one of his parents that we are coming to visit, THEN tell me much later. I think he's secretly afraid to tell either one of them no.
Wish we lived closer so we could come to the party too! - 11:35 AM
I`m the flag bearer for the FFMB. Stopping by to wish you a happy Friendly Friday! Hope the party is a blast.
- Sarah said...
how was the party?!!
- princess slea said...
In our house, I'm the one who plans get togethers without letting husband know first. If I didn't plan stuff, we would never do anything.
- -R- said...
Spaw, definitely H's definition of fair warning.
Ma'am, these friends are ok. And yet, I think I will definitely be expecting some special earrings in the near future!
3carnations, exactly what I said. Hopefully, we can discuss plans first next time.
Prep, you definitely would have been invited!
Mango, thanks.
Sarah, it was great. I did pretty well at Guitar Hero!
PD, I am usually the planner and the instigator here too. =) - 10:15 PM

Okay, so some of you have already seen this on my photography blog, but I thought I'd share it here too. It just makes me giggle.
I couldn't wait and already scrapped it last night...look for that page in June over at The Story Matters.

It is acknowledged that total cyst excision is a safe and ideal surgical treatment for congenital biliary duct cyst, compared to simple internal drainage. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal operation occasion and the effect of laparoscopy on congenital biliary duct cyst based upon total cyst excision.
From January 2002 to January 2011, 217 patients were admitted to Southwest Hospital for congenital biliary duct cyst. To determine the optimal surgery occasion, we divided these subjects into three groups, the infant group (age ≤ 3 years), the immaturity group (3 < age ≤ 18 years), and the maturity group (age > 18 years), and then evaluated the feasibility, risk and long-term outcome after surgery in the three groups. To analyze the effect of laparoscopic technique on congenital biliary duct cyst, we divided the patients into the laparoscopy and the open surgery groups.
Among the three groups, the morbidity from cholangiolithiasis before surgical treatment had obvious discrepancy (p < 0.05) (lowest in the infant group), and intraoperative blood loss also had apparent diversity (p < 0.05). Furthermore, long-term outcomes (secondary cholangiolithiasis, stoma stenosis and cholangiocarcinoma) showed no significant difference between different groups (p > 0.05).
Similarly, no significant discrepancy was observed in the morbidity from postoperative complications or long-term postoperative complications (p > 0.05) between the laparoscopic and the open surgery groups.
We conclude that total cyst excision should be performed as early as possible. The optimal treatment occasion is the infant period, and laparoscopic resection may be a new safe and feasible minimally invasive surgery for this disease.

Regular reader Ellen Morris drew my attention to a posting on the blog FAMHIST: Family History Thoughts and Links. It describes a helpful utility for making transcriptions, and as it happens it's one I used just last month and had meant to blog about -- why are there so many other interesting things happening?
Transcript is free software for the PC. The operation is simple. It splits the screen horizontally so you display an image for transcription in the upper panel and type the transcription in the lower. I recommend trying it.
The operation is well described in detail at http://famhist2.blogspot.com/2011/01/transcript-for-genealogy-transcriptions.html.
