I have an MA in Social Science from the University of Copenhagen, where I also took my Ph.D. I have completed my time as Assistant Professor, including a specialization in guidance at Aarhus University.
I am currently an associate professor at the Centre for Youth Research, where I am responsible for the implementation of various research projects. I am also part of the research management team at the Centre for Youth Research.
My research focuses on young people with disabilities - among these, dyslexia and hearing impairment. I have also researched young people's part-time jobs as well participant retention at HF (Higher Preparatory Examination Course) and young people's political engagement.
Field of research:
I have on several occasions worked with young people with disabilities. This is a subject that I deal with in my Ph.D. dissertation, where I look at the situation and well-being of young, hearing-impaired people. I have also evaluated a special educational opportunity for the deaf and hearing-impaired, and I am in the process of implementing a 5-year study of the well-being of young hearing-impaired people, after they leave primary school.
In recent years, I have also completed two analyzes of students at Higher Preparatory Examination Courses across the country, and I made a combined literature study and analysis for LO documentation about young people's part-time jobs. I have also studied the quality of guidance counseling at Aarhus University. Here I have looked at how students as well as advisors feel about the content and planning of the counseling. Additionally, I completed a project at Frederiksberg HF, where I followed a series of new measures intended to reduce the dropout rate among students.
Furthermore, I have previously authored number of the Centre for Youth Research city reports, where we examine the welfare of young people in a given municipality. So far I have done analyzes of Holbaek, Gentofte and Fredericia municipalities.
I am also an author of a book describing the use of quantitative methods - surveys in particular.

Keep your options open when it comes to the wedding dresses.
Although meeting up with a designer to get your dress designed for you accordingly might seem like your first and only option when it comes to bringing a wedding dress together, this might not always be the case when it comes to things like this. There are a lot of things that you can do and a lot of dress you have as your options if you just open them up a bit. You don't have to go for a designer dress just so that you can look beautiful during the day of your wedding. It doesn't always have to be like that at all. You can even opt to order your dress online if you happen to find something suitable enough for you. Some brides order prom dresses or even bridesmaid dress if they happen to fancy the design.
You can go ahead and do that as well. You may also opt to order your wedding dress off of a rack if you happen to like anything. You just need to make sure that you get to order your dress ahead of time so that you can fit it and get alterations done before the big wedding day. This is something that you can take into account when it all comes down to it. A great professional wedding photographer Essex will be able to capture you beautifully in the photos if he is worth his salt.
Avoid ring envy at all costs.
There will always be other engagement rings that will have bigger stones and more luster than yours and this is not a reason for you to dampen your happiness about the wedding. Be happy with what you have and focus more on the planning of your wedding than worrying too much about whether you are ahead of the game or not when it all comes down to it. Don't compare your ring with the rest of your friends' because it is a pointless endeavour. You are marrying the love of your life and you are mapping out the arrangements for the biggest day of your life. There really isn't anything else that you should be worried about or focusing on during the process. Trust in what your wedding photographer Essex can do when he is shooting macro shots of your engagement ring and leave it at that.
Go beyond the per head perception.
Most brides make the mistake that they can name a tentative number per head on the guests that they are planning to invite during the wedding day but there are a lot of other ensuing costs. An open bar, entertainment, among other things can prove to be excessive for your wedding expenses and you need to do something about this at the end of the day.
Do your floral research.
The more you know about the costs of flowers, what type of flowers will be fitting for the wedding, what flowers will be available and in season during the timing of your wedding and what the proper conditioning for these flowers are will prove to be quite useful to you for when you are mapping out your wedding details.

New city, new school, new trails...let the exploring begin!
A few weeks now into my first semester here at UWM School of Architecture. Since I have not written on this blog in awhile, I almost have to sift through all that has happened lately in order to not be up all night, all though to do so would seem then norm these days anyways.
Work at the architecture firm has been amazing! I feel totally at home there with the team and feel like I was able to hit the ground running. What else..oh, finally all moved in on the East Side of Milwaukee, pretty close to Lake Michigan! Close to coffee shops, Whole Foods, the Milwaukee river single track trail (awesome)...Life has been grand. I am truly blessed.
I have begun the new design studio here, it is their first one that they offer to Architecture students and I have mixed emotions about having to take it. A lot of what is being covered is review for me, except for some new vocabulary and some new concepts to dwell on. After I was finished at ITT and started up in Madison at their Architecture program, I felt like I was having to start over, learning many of the same concepts that I had already spent a fortune on learning once already, not to mention putting in the time, again. Here at UWM it feels like that a little too so far. Of course this is a little disappointing, in that I was hoping to be learning all this wonderful design theory and to be diagramming the great buildings of old. I am sure more of that is coming, but I think what really causing me to feel that way is that I REALLY liked going to work at the firm every morning. It was exciting, it was fast paced, and I was learning A TON of real world application every day. Since I am obviously missing it so much ( being on reduced hours now due to school full time) I must be on the right track, and truly love what I am doing which is the practice of Architecture. So whats the problem, right?
Even though a lot of what I am doing presently in school may be review, I am still learning. I am still practicing Architecture even if it is building little cardboard abstract shapes and changing them and rechanging them and drawing them and then doing it all over again. There are lessons in the every day little things, and I am learning more and more to be patient. It is the only way you get to see them. The big things are easy to see, everyone gets those. The smaller ones, not so much. You have to earn those, by putting in the time and being there when the magic happens.
Since it is all relative-the model making, the history lessons, the sketching and the sleepless nights of drafting I simply have accepted that this is paying my dues- again. At a new place, with new teachers, and new peers and new lessons to be learned, and earned.
Here's to the winds of change, blowing stronger than ever...cheers!

10 simple etiquette tips for teenagers:
- Remove your baseball cap or hat when entering a house, restaurant or business, especially when sitting down to a meal.
- Write thank you notes. A simple handwritten note works best, no email, texting or tweeting your thanks.
- Keep your elbows off the table.
- Put your napkin on your lap.
- Learn to shake hands and introduce yourself.
- Don't bring your phone to the dinner table; take time to have a conversation with your family.
- It's hard to like everyone, but it is not hard to be polite. Try to think of the feelings of others. Sometimes being considerate of others can change a difficult person and at the same time boost your self-esteem.
- Always be courteous to everyone, even when that person is not courteous to you.
- Hold the door open for elders.
- Say please and thank you.

"HIYA Emer"
"HIYA Charlie"
So Emer, I pretty much love that you're an actress that also has a 'behind the scenes' writing knack and ambition about you.
I did a writing course with Ideas Tap, but in fact all I've done since I was 16 is write scripts. I just found it so much fun. I've always kept diaries, and they'd set me tasks to go back in these journals and find funny entries.
Dates gone wrong?
YES! I use my eccentric girlfriends as inspiration too.
I was doing lots of auditions at 16, but not getting many parts. I was frustrated with the roles that were out there, girls were always 'the girlfriend'. Even if they were female heavy pieces the characters didn't feel realistic. This was pre-Skins, but that show changed TV for young people in a big way.
Maybe the grittiest girl back in the day was Sonia in Eastenders, didn't she give birth without even realising… while having a kebab, or was it a chip butty?
Haha, I watched that episode recently.
I started writing my own characters, if anything just for fun. But during my course, they asked if anyone wants to write a drama…FOR EASTENDERS!
It was really good to have a place in something with such a big audience. You didn't have to win people over, but instead could add something to a format and landscape that was already a winner.
I find it amazing in soaps when an actor adopts their character for such a large chunk of their life…!
Ian Beale has been Ian Beale for 25 years!
He's been Ian Beale for as long as you've been alive.
I played Zsa Zsa. She had blue hair, was really punky and mouthy, nothing like me. I loved every minute of it, but didn't want to play a character forever. Plus I couldn't write while I was there because there was just no time, it takes you over. So after a year my character stole an ice cream van and went to France. I was meant to leave with my boyfriend but he was a love rat.
If I was working on a soap I'd totally drink in the Queen Vic after hours.
I've never partied on Albert Square!?
So from the gritty East to the glossy side of life, Beaver Falls must have been a culture and career shock to the system in a great way!?
It was the best 3 months of my life. The show has a glossiness about it, but the comedy is a much more British thing. The best of both worlds. We were in Cape Town, in the sun, and my character was completely mental!
I really like the scene where you're driving, or what looks like kidnapping a guy, as you simply scream at him.
He was my boyfriend, and I found out he cheated on me. But I actually crashed that car!
We had this beautiful vintage 1970s Beetle and I was on the other side of the road, in an American accent, babbling mentally…driving it! We did 2 days of shooting. It went perfectly, but they asked me to do one more scene that involved driving over a bridge. I asked a member of production how fast to go. He struggled into his radio, and stuttered
"'60, drive at 60"
"Yeah yeah, they're saying 60."
So I assumed it must be a straight road after the bridge. Turned out to be a hairpin turn…!
To make things worse, I had stupid shoes on, and the pumps got caught on the accelerator. In order to get my foot off I had to push down and go faster! All I remember is the guy on the radio ending with "andddd break!". It turned out the instruction was "drive safely", not "drive 60′". They must have thought I was mental! At least I didn't kill anyone?'
You're a living scene from Fast & Furious!
Maybe I should be a stunt driver?
You should. Lets write a new Fast & Furious together.
So PRAMFACE! The new series starts this week, how would you sum up the BBC3 show?
It's so much fun, a warm hearted family comedy really with that BBC3 quirk. A good girl goes to uni, but has a one night stand before, then finds out she's pregnant to a 16 year-old guy. I play the judgemental, superficial and bitchy best friend. I get to say horrible things to her all the time…but in a funny way!
Although in series 2 I get a little bit nicer, where you see why they're friends, which before you don't really understand.
Her general outlook is "we should be at uni getting drunk, why are you at home with a baby and a loser?", which is hilarious!
On the mention of men (and losers), what sort of guys take your fancy?
I love funny guys, he has to make me laugh. Paul Rudd, or Andy Samberg, he's from Lonely Island
The American comedy!?
Oh HIM!
I'm really good at table tennis, I want to go on a table tennis date. I'm okay at sports, but tried it once in a pub and was like OMG I FOUND IT. EVERYONE PLAY ME!
I had a Center Parcs medal for table tennis as a teenager.
I find old crushes really weird when I look back at them, such as Mark Wahlberg for example.
I do have a little crush on Mark Wahlberg, MARKY MARK was so funny! He did workout videos and was a rapper. Maybe I'm a little obsessed with Marky Mark still?
I think you should date rappers.
Haha, YES!
How about fashion then, I'm loving your look today. City boho babe comes to mind.
I'm obsessed with big hair, the 80s and Cindy Crawford. I wouldn't say I'm 'into fashion', but I definitely love clothes. Fashion can often be oppressive, where it focuses on trends and too much money. I prefer style and people who dress originally. Azealia Banks has that down. I love car boot sales, I got this from one *points at gorgeous top*.
I LIVE for boot sales.
WE SHOULD GO! Wow there's so much bonding going on, first Marky Mark and now boot sales.
*Told you this was the perfect eharmony match*
2013 is only going to further cement Emer's skill for acting and adding the scripts to this industry landscape. With a quirky modern eye, a love for life, and real life stories that you just couldn't make up, this girl exudes TALENT!
Emer stars in Pramface – which returns to BBC Three Tuesday January 8th at 10pm. Follow her on Twitter

A quick, healthy, delicious meal that is easy enough for a busy weeknight, but classy enough for Sunday dinner. So creamy and yummy! You will want to make this one over and over again. We have for quite a few years and I will say it's one of my son's favorites.
I know that I have been making a lot of dinner recipes lately, and I promise I have more up my sleeve than just chicken dinners. 🙂 But bare with me, I have a couple more to get written and then I will focus on some breakfasts, snacks, and treats. 🙂
So for this dish, I like to fillet the chicken into two thinner pieces so that it cooks quickly in a pan on the stove top. Like this:
Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper, and brown about 6-7 minutes on first side. Flip it over and cook another 5-6 minutes or so. Now add the chicken stock and spices, but not the mustard or yogurt yet. Turn the heat a little lower and cover to let simmer about 10 more minutes or so until cooked through.
When the chicken is cooked through, take the chicken out of the pan and let rest on a plate while you finish the sauce. Leave the heat on low for now. Add the mustard and mix thoroughly. Turn the heat off and add the yogurt and mix it until sauce is creamy and no lumps. It should make about a cup of sauce.
You can serve this alone with some steamed veggies, or over some rice, egg noodles, or potatoes. We've done all three and I love them all! My son's favorite is with egg noodles but I love it over rice. 🙂 Tell me what you like best!
- 6 thin sliced 4oz chicken breast fillets
- 2 T butter
- 1/2 C chicken stock
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 t garlic powder
- 1 t dried tarragon
- 1/2 t thyme
- 2 T course ground mustard
- 1/4 C greek yogurt
- Heat large skillet and add butter to it. Add chicken breasts and brown on both sides about 6-7 minutes.
- Add chicken stock and spices. Lower heat to medium low, cover and let chicken simmer about another 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- Take the chicken out and let rest on a plate while you finish the sauce.
- Add mustard and stir until combined. Turn off heat and add greek yogurt and stir until creamy.
- Makes about 1 cup of sauce. (Can add more chicken stock if pan dried out)
- Macros: Calories 155; Fat 5; Carbs 0.5; Protein 23
- Serving size: 4 ounces chicken with 2.5 T sauce.

As you will find people there are actually as numerous kind of tourists.
Here we have a tongue in cheek examine a few of the common types.
1. The Entire Budget Traveler
The entire budget traveler doesn't change from it, regardless of how interesting the recently found chance is and moves on the tight budget.
No additional products for this tourist until somebody buys him/her one.
2. The Traditional Partyanimal
The traditional party animal has that is to own fun often in a bar and one target.
Where others can't these tourists discover places to party. Maybe they must be joined with all the total budget traveler!
3. The Versatile Go-anywhere Traveler
The versatile move-everywhere tourist only chills out where ever he or she is. There's no requirement for planning – everything is good. Each goes using to not require to understand where they're going and also the circulation.
Probably the traveler that likes any experience.
4. The Systematic Manager
The systematic adviser doesn't do something that is post. Every minute is prepared and they feel unloved when things FAIL because they undoubtedly do.
Exactly where the program shows them to become they'll continually be identified.
5. The Current Geek
The current geek can only just travel if he or she has got devices and the latest travel accessories. Keep near to the modern geek to understand what products are a waste of cash for the next trip and what products works.
6.The enthusiastic souvenir customer has something that he or she really wants to tell them of the vacation and money to invest.
The top for not thinking about investing any moment using the traditional party animal and stores and that areas. Often has difficulty with luggage weight limitations about the homeward journey.
7. The knowitall Tourist
The knowitall tourist reports from web and the guidebooks just before travel.
He or she sees great pleasure in asking the many in depth issues of the instructions or constantly stops the manual with claims of "reality". Unsure who the knowitall tourist must travel with.
8. The Elegant Photographer
The elegant photography will likely possess the most expensive camera (and do not forget the contact) and consider the best to take any picture.
Additional tourists are always awaiting him/her at any particular view. They prefer to escape quite early to "capture the light."
9. The Constant Complainer
The constant complainer sees everything about the visit to not his/her usual standard. Often claim to become regular vacationers and frequently wish to "talk to a greater power".
Should stay home and revel in things that exist!
10. The Weak Traveler
The hopeless tourist sees everything a tad too. He or she may ask one of the frequently useless and unusual questions. Usually you will see somebody about the visit who requires the hopeless tourist under their wings to safeguard them in the others.
11. The "I'm searching for myself" Traveler
The "I'm searching for myself" tourist is trying to find anything. It's something special for every or even the "I'm searching for myself" tourists.
Defeat to allow them end up but ensure that they get about properly.
12. The Travel Light Traveler
The travel light traveler requires just one cabin case to determine the planet. They a happy with their accomplishment but their travelling companions battle if you find virtually no time for washing clothes. They often prefer to use items.
13. The Constant Talking Traveler
The constant talking tourist doesn't leave everyone alone. They desire a debate on nearly every topic. Usually they're very interesting people is sufficient.
14. The Saying Traveler
The saying tourist would go to vacation or the exact same location every year. He or she can offer atleast 101 explanations why you need to join them.
They take pride in suggesting they have noticed three management improvements in the last supervisor as well as the resort was much better than the present one.
15. The Training Traveler
The training tourist increases each morning to some vigorous physical exercise. Just stay at hotels with gym and pool.
Often restless with food and state to consume "balanced" before free wine is placed on the table.
Whatever kind of tourist you enter into connection with or are – study from them and benefit from the expertise. Also the most boring tourists may have anything interesting to express.

Man Caves! Bleh.. I mean, RAR!ReplyDelete
The first one is the nicest man cave I've ever seen - I think it's because it doesn't really look like one! I love the surfboard countertop on the tiki bar man cave, too --
As far as Poor Tired Husband and his man cave? It's at someone elses house, because it sure ain't happenin' in THIS one. so there.

Hi ArtieReplyDelete
Very nice inspiration.
J's lodge, in our basement, is his man cave. It's not a themed room. The room is filled with his collections. It's comfortable, with a stone fireplace, beautiful hickory twig table and foot stools made by a friend. Fishing gear and yes, a Bass and Deer mount also exist in his room. There is no big screen TV, but there is surround sound. A bar sits in one corner. Another wall of the room has a builtin cabinet for J's memorabilia from nearly 40 years as an electrical lineman for the rural electric cooperative. Photos of our children and grandchildren are also in this "man cave". It's J's 750 square feet of space, carved out of a 3,000 square foot home. He's earned that space and more.
Not every room in a home has to be show house ready. Some of the most beautiful rooms I've seen, are like J's, filled with personal memories and warmth of the homeowner.
Will miss you! Safe travels!
Aye there me friend ... I love the Irish pub ~ let's me and you raise a few ... eh?ReplyDelete
I am sure my husband would love a man cave in our basement but for now we have a kid cave complete with a ping pong table! I love the pub inspired room...if a room has to be dark that is how it should look! Have a great time in the city!ReplyDelete
great post artie! I hope you have a blast in the big apple...ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for this post! I am working on a "man cave" project myself right now. Maybe I'll show some pics when it's finished. I love the first one in your series. Not cliche' at all.ReplyDelete

As a man, I am not quite sure why I don't like the term "man cave" but "smoking room" is not socially acceptable anymore and "gentleman's quarters" seems Victorian or the name of a strip club. "Man Cave" sounds as if we are outcasts or socially unacceptable in our own homes and delegated down into a cave. I guess my main room or "man cave" is called the library or dog's room here. I have a built-in bookcase that covers an entire wall containing just books, a computer table (actually a small antique dining room table without leaves) with an antique dark oak and leather English banker's chair, a fireplace, a closet that contains only shelving for paperwork and more books (the door latch came from my great great grandmother's pantry door!), a leather couch that belongs to just the two dogs, and another small bookcase. Decorations are few but consist of a large ceremonial fraternal staff, seven dog paintings (three of my own dogs), four lamps (there is no overhead lighting), an old English yellow pottery piece with a raised coat of arms that is full of old large cast iron keys, an old clock, a couple of statues, two plants and an old leather trash basket. No television. My room is off the family room which has a television and the music, with one or the other usually on. But I believe a man cave's first requirement is a huge large flat screen TV of which my room does not contain. Regardless, the dogs and I are very happy in "our room", no matter what it's called and we do have the required leather couch ... at least the dogs do! Artie, thanks for the food for thought!ReplyDelete

Hey Artie as always a great post... Loved the man caves... they were really unique... Now how about some women caves... Although I loved the Tiki bar and could use some exotic tropical drink right now as I type this.... LOL LOLReplyDelete
The foreclosure home we were looking at had a formal living room and Jay wanted to turn it into his "man cave." At first I was against the idea, but after seeing some of your inspiration pics, I'm realzing it could actually be a beautiful space!ReplyDelete
OH MY GOD! This is such a blessing that I read your post!ReplyDelete
For the fouth time since moving into our home we are moving things around in the basement...err "man cave".
Its a very narrow but long room. That maked it hard for us to figure out how to turn the space into a playroom and a "mancave all at the same time- thus the 4th makeover. I think this time we got it right. I plan to post some pictures once we ..umm I get it up to par.
The funny thing is, I know once the kids get older the basement..err "mancave" will change its layout and style yet again. I guess the basement of any house is an ever changing room.
Fantastic post!!!!
My husband definitely has a man cave...but not this nice!! My goodness, this is rockin! We have a detached efficiency apartment and that is where he host his poker games weekly and watches all the big sporting events. I never go out there unless I'm serving food to the guys!ReplyDelete
Our Man Cave used to be my office and dream work area. Then Man moved in with a small slot car set...which was fine...until it morphed into slot car metropolis!!!
I got squeezed into a corner, got fed up and said 'have the sodding room', so now I am in a even bigger room...but with out a french door...arrrgh.
Your Man Caves are lovely. I will show slot metropolis mayor these tonight for inspiration as he is 'town planning'
Have fun Artie,
Ness xx

'coloring outside the lines' for me .
basements are so funny, men tend to have ideas of turning them into these weird hide-outs.
and the escape 'ideas' are endless, and again, weird.

I remember that episode of Divine Design and how much I loved the finished space. I think that woman is a genius! Her spaces are always sooooooo classy.ReplyDelete
Nope, Jimmy doesn't have a man cave, but his pool table's new home will be in our new living room. Ugh. If only FL had basements!
Have a great time in NYC! Business, or pleasure?
Justine :o )
I think my favourite is Candice's creation....doesn't she work magic with lighting?ReplyDelete
My DH once had a 'mancave' in our basement, however as his antique Billiard's Table now sports a ping-pong tabletop which in turn acts a cutting-table 'pour moi'; his cave is now located in his 30' x 40',
two-storey Hobby Garage. (Got all that Artie?)
It is heated, equipped with a refrigerator and a small T.V. Has a variety of seating including an old Barber's Chair (which is everyone's favourite.) He is also surrounded by things that he loves. (His tools, custom Street RodS and Nascar paraphernalia.) It's 'heaven' to HIM.
Artie I hope you have a great and safe trip this weekend...will see you when you get back...hugs and smiles Gl♥riaReplyDelete
I watch the Man Cave series on HGTV, but only because of Tony Siragusa. I also follow the Raven's because he played for them. After all, I went to school with his father, Pete, and we grew up in the same town, so I enjoy following a home town boy's, son's, success. :)
I enjoyed your post.
My brother is creating his "man cave" as we speak. My nephew is a carpenter, and as you know, the winters are a bit slow around these parts, so he's helping out dear old Dad. They made the neatest hidden doorway to the wine cellar with a bookcase. Of course, surround sound, 52" TV, snack bar with granite, etc. and motorized leather theater seating. Hmmm, I see a post in the making.....~ RobynReplyDelete
any man's dream!...ChristineReplyDelete
it is too funny that you have posted this & I caught it!ReplyDelete
We just readjusted our basement into a Man cave/playroom/art studio.
Much of it is still in the works but my studio is posted on my blog.
Its not easy to get three functions out of one room but we have managed to figure it out.
Im predicting that the basement will change again once the kids are older. - Funny how basements grow with a family; they seem to be ever changing.
fantastic post!!! Love all of these examples of what can be done with this type of room

Artie, don't know if you're interested, but as a fellow lover of setting tables, I found a "Vintage Niagara Falls" Sterling Spoon (tsp)on E-Bay, and immediately thought of you (isn't that where you live?!). Anyhoooo, if you're interested, the Item # is 250377557415 & the "seller" is "troy eagle"... They're usually/often rather "hokey" for use on a table, but I saw a few from the states of several friends who visit us OFTEN ~~~ So, I bought them to put on their coffee saucers in the a.m~~~ think they'll like that little gesture, and if they reeeally like them, I will send them home with our friends. Best, LindaReplyDelete
love these interiors; i could hang out in these caves for days on endReplyDelete

Tonight I flew from Penn Yan (KPEO) to Genesee County (KGVQ) via the Geneseo (GEE) VOR and back. After climbing to 3500 ft I contacted Rochester Approach and asked for a flight following and got it. I had to ask them to repeat the sqawk code of 0327 – but other than that things went fine. I started getting a bit of a westerly headwind as I neared the Geneseo VOR and kept it until I landed at Genesee County (KGVQ). The winds favored runway 28 and were at 270 at 12 knots gusting to 16 knots.
The air traffic at Genesee County (KGVQ) was pretty constant with me and 3 other pilots in the pattern, all of them with Pipers and moving a little faster than me. We all kept busy doing full stop landings, must be we all wanted to get out 90 day currency for passengers. I was generally too far from the runway on downwind and base which made my final longer than it needed to be forcing me to increase power along the way. After the second landing I was getting caught up with what was going on and fixed it. This is why everyone needs to fly more often!
After 5 take off and landings I decided to head home. I took off and departed to the south. I contacted Rochester Approach and asked for a flight following and was told to sqawk 0344. As I neared the Geneseo VOR, Rochester Approach told me I had traffic 12 miles ahead at 12 o'clock at 3400 ft which was not good since I was at 3500 ft. Approach asked me if I wanted to go above or below the traffic, I said below, so they told me to decend to 3000 ft which I did and held for the next 15 miles. After things were all clear I went back up to 3500 ft and continued on the 120 radial of the Geneseo VOR to Penn Yan.
In Penn Yan the winds were calm, the air space was clear and the green lawn welcomed me like a warm blanket. It was a great evening to get my 90 day currency, to complete a 50 nautical mile cross country to Genesee County and to chit chat with a member after I fueled the 172 back up. That's what it's all about!

4 August 1866, 137-8
The author of this unsigned review, Robert Buchanan, asks, 'How old is this young gentleman?' Like John Morley, who was more than a year younger than Swinburne, Buchanan was Swinburne's junior. Now almost forgotten except for his attack (later renounced) on Rossetti and 'the fleshly school', Buchanan, in 1866, had already gained recognition as a poet and was to be prolific as versifier, dramatist, and novelist. He became involved in several squabbles, late in life attacking Kipling as vehemently as he had earlier attacked 'the fleshly school'. Published on the same day as Morley's review, Buchanan's differs from Morley's in its allegation of insincerity and its almost unqualified denial of literary merit in Poems and Ballads.
Mr. Swinburne commenced his literary career with considerable brilliance. His Atalanta in Calydon evinced noticeable gifts of word-painting and of music; and his Chastelard, though written in a monotone, contained several passages of dramatic force and power. In the latter work, however, there was too open a proclivity to that garish land beyond the region of pure thinking, whither so many inferior writers have been lured for their destruction—the land where Atys became a raving and sexless maniac, and where Catullus himself would have perished had he not been drawn back to the shadier border-region by the sincerity of his one grand passion. The glory of our modern poetry is its transcendent purity—no less noticeable in the passionate sweetness of Keats and Shelley than in the cold severity of Wordsworth; a purity owing much to the splendid truth of its sensuous colouring. More or less unavailing have been all the efforts of insincere writers to stain the current of our literature with impure thought; and those who have made the attempt have invariably done so with a view to conceal their own literary inferiority. Very rarely indeed a mighty physical nature has found utterance in warmer, less measured terms than are commonly employed

This technology measures the force that each individual wheel excerts on the road when the vehicle is braking. To do so, the vehicle is rolled onto plates simulating the road surface, and firmly stopped. Digital load cells measure the brake force exerted by each wheel on the test plates. This allows a measuring of brakes "as on the road?? condition, therefore producing a more realistic test result. PlatTronic test lanes use cutting edge German digital technology, but are designed and built in Australia, for Australian conditions. Compared to other technologies such as roller testers, the plate brake systems provide several advantages: • It is very safe to use, there are no moving parts, motors, chains. Furthermore, plate brake testers provide no holes in the workshop floor to trip and no rollers to get caught on. • It is very economic to use: the entire system runs on only 12 V and maintenance is virtually non existent. There are no moving parts, therefore it will not wear out! • It is very fast and easy to use. Testing takes just 10 seconds, and operation can be done fail proof with just a short introduction. • It does not take any space, it rather turns "dead?? space such as driveways etc. into highly efficient money earners. Safe-T-Stop systems are designed to the specifications for skid plate brake testing as set by the Roads and Traffic Authority in New South Wales and are approved by VIC Roads and QLD Transport. Maintenance and calibration ??" Generally, all Safe-T-Stop systems are care free and need only a minimum of attention. All systems need to be maintained and calibrated by Safe-T-Stop technicians once a year or every 2500 cars. We clean and grease the whole system and calibrate all load cells for maximum accuracy. Picture-chain of installed machines moving on the bottom of the page? COMPANY OVERVIEW A trusted and experienced partner for your business For over 15 years, workshop solutions and Safe-T-Stop have been developing technology, business concept and marketing safety test lanes in Australia. Over the years, a reliable and highly satisfied network of over 150 Safe-T-Stop dealers has been build up, and it is growing fast. Safe-T-Stop is ever more successful with the latest generation of test lanes and marketing know how, allowing small to large vehicle repair and maintenance facilities to significantly increase revenue and profits at the same time as increasing trust with the customers and efficiency in the workshop. Quality and functionality Partnership, support and trust Innovation History Safe-T-Stop goes back to the year 1991 when Workshop Solutions began to sell, install and support a German Skid Plate Brake Test System that was the forerunner of the present model. In a constant urge to improve quality, functionality and suitability for Australian conditions, he soon started developing Safe-T-Stop test lanes that meet both Australian and Word requirements for brake test machines. In 1997 the first Australian build model was installed for the Taxis Combined fleet. To quote Workshop Manager Val Sermukslis: "The Safe-T-Stop is installed in a drive-through location which is open 24 hours. I estimate that we drive over the machine up to 300 times daily. Amazingly, we have had no problems at all ??" a great testimony to its strength!?? Picture 175 The first car dealership installing the machine in 1997 was Hunter Holden. "After an extensive trial period, we found that the test lane was easy to use, worked faultlessly and paid for itself within the first six month of operation. That's why we bought another machine for our second dealership in St. Leonards??. In the last 10 years, Safe-T-Stop became the synonym for a successful partnership with a proven and effective business concept. Vision Safe-T-Stop has set out to be a highly reliable and trusted partner to small and large sized workshops in innovating and providing complete business solutions that are outstanding in profitability, efficiency and customer satisfaction. Mission statement We help small to large workshops achieve outstanding financial results and customer satisfaction in providing the most efficient and highest quality Safe-T-Test lane together with a business concept designed to create a win-win situation ! Who are we Safe-T-Stop is based in Sydney, NSW. Picturet.t.b.d Jobs We are growing and always looking for motivated and interested staff ??" just call and ask us. FAQ's How much space does the machine require? Very little - The Safe-T-Stop test lanes are designed to integrate in virtually any workshop set-up and space restrictions. We achieve this through 3 design features: • Extreme sturdiness ??" Park on it, drive over it from all sides, turn on it…. no problem • Weather resistance - Our test lanes can be installed outside ….no problem • Model variety ??" in ground, above ground, 2 plate-, 4 plate models…. Can it be installed outside? Yes ??" all test lanes are fully weatherproof Is this technology proven? Worldwide, there are hundreds of thousands of plate test systems installed. All over Europe for example they are one of the approved technologies for the lawfull technical inspections. The first plate brake testers have been designed almost 100 years ago! How long does a test take? The Brake and Wheel alignment test takes about 10 seconds. The shock absorber test about 1,5 Minutes. What is the maximum weight you can put on the machines? The machines are designed for a gross weight of 4,5 tonnes How often do the machines need to be calibrated? Once a year or every 3000 tests Is the alignment testing as accurate as my wheel aligner? Yes, the side-slip technology is very reproducible and accurate. There might be slight differences in the readings between both systems due to the fact that on a Safe-T-Stop tester the car is actually driven. How do I sell the test to my customers successfully? In our experience it is easy to up-sell the test to your customers once the seller is convinced of the value of the test and motivated to sell. The first is usually achieved when the seller gets a good introduction to the system, the second when the service advisor gets an incentive, e.g. a premium for every test sold. Do I still need to go on the road for a roadworthiness/rego inspection? The RTA fully approves of the Safe-T-Stop brake test and road tests for rego inspections are not necessary anymore. Queensland transport fully approves of our system for Roadworthiness inspections ??" no road tests are longer necessary What is the life expectancy of a Safe-T-Stop? The first Safe-T-Stops have been installed over 10 years ago ??" and are still going strong How does the plate testing compare against a roller tester? Does my staff require a lot of training to properly use the machine? The testing is easy to learn ??" nevertheless, a good introduction and training of about on hour of your staff is necessary to eliminate any faults Does it measure wheel alignment on each wheel? The sideslip meter tests the total drag per axle. Does it measure camber, caster and toe? The sideslip meter tests the actual drag on the road ??" and therefore anything having an effect on drag. Although, drag is caused to the greatest extend by toe, and this is the only adjustment most car designs will allow. Products & Services MOBILE TESTING The Safe-T-Stop mobile testing units allow the employment of the safe-T-test lanes virtually anywhere. Transportable and installed within minutes, it gives full functionality for brake-, steering and suspension testing.

If you want to stop your car, you need brakes ??" no question about it. Although, your brakes do not stop your car. Your tires stop the car! The patch of contact between the tyre and the road transfers the necessary decelleration force. There are two variables that affect the maximum brake force that your tyre can transmit: the friction between the tyre and the road, and the weight that presses the tyre to the road surface. We are getting close to the core of the problem. In order to have a maximum brake performance, that is minimum stopping distance for you and your car, the transferrable force must be made the greatest. Your shurely have seen cars doing the ??žnodding" motion when stopping hard. All cars do this, and effectively weight is transferred from the rear to the front, therefore the back of the car gets ??žlighter" and the front heavier. How much depends on the lenght of your wheelbase and the heights of your car. We can't do much about that, so lets look at the friction. Once I tell you that the friction between the tyre and the road is much much less when the tyre is skidding over the pavement instead of rolling on it, you will understand that the worst thing for your brake performance is when your tyres start to lock up and skidd on the road. Not only will your tyres transmit less foce on the road and decellerate the vehicle less, it also will not be able to keep the vehicle moving stable in one direction and swerving and skidding ist imminent. Now it becomes clear, that the optimum brake force on each tyre is the force that just does not lock up your breaks and lets the tyre still keep rolling. Optimum ??žBrake force distribution" means exactly that. On a passenger car the optimum brake force distribution has about 70 ??" 90% of the brake force on the front and 10 -30% on the rear. From side ??" to side there should not be more difference of 30% per axle. Safe-T-Stop plate brake testing technology is the only technology that can give you this kind of analysis ??" for your safety and the safety of your family! Support> Why wheel alignment saves you money! Wheel alignment is the position of the wheels relative to your car. When properly aligned, the wheels point in the right direction. Without proper alignment, the wheels resist your steering commands, and ??žfight" against each other while driving. This can cause excessive tire wear and steering or tracking problems and also affects negatively your gas mileage. ??žToe" refers to the tilted direction of the wheels toward or away from one another when viewed from the top. Toe is the most critical tire wearing angle. Tires that "toe-in" point toward one another. Tires that "toe-out" point away from each other. An incorrect toe-in will cause rapid tire wear to both tires equally. Safe-T-Stop alignment check measures ??ždrag", which is caused mainly by toe, in ??žon the road" conditions and gives you and your technician an instant feedback on the alignment of your wheels. Support> Why shock absorbers are a safety issue The primary purpose of the shock absorber is to control spring and suspension movement such as Bounce, Roll or sway and Brake dive. Shocks and struts are an integral part of your suspension system. They work to prevent suspension parts and tires from wearing out prematurely. If worn, they could jeopardize your ability to stop, steer and maintain stability. They also work to maintain tire contact with the road and reduce the rate at which vehicle weight transfers among the wheels when negotiating corners or during braking. Research commissioned by Monroe has found that a car fitted with effective shock absorbers will stop 20% faster than the same car fitted with just one worn shock absorber. And, tests show that the difference between good and bad shock absorbers is even more pronounced when the car is fitted with safety systems such as anti-lock braking. The German vehicle inspection agency TUV found that, in a simulated emergency braking test, a car fitted with four effective shock absorbers travelling at 50 km/h along a straight, dry, uneven road stopped 20% faster than a vehicle with just one worn shock absorber. Further tests were carried out to assess the effects of worn shock absorbers on safety systems such as anti-lock braking (ABS). A new VW Beetle with ABS and ESP (Electronic Stability Control) was put through an emergency braking test, firstly with 100% effective shock absorbers and then with shock absorbers that were 50% worn. The test was carried out at 80 km/h on a straight road where a lane was blocked to simulate an obstacle. The difference was a staggering 6 metres ??" more than 20% - with the worn shock absorbers severely affecting the car's safety systems. Peter Small, Product Manager for Monroe Australia, said the tests proved the importance of good shock absorbers. "Just like tyres and brakes, shock absorbers wear out gradually and become, imperceptibly, less effective. A regular shock absorber check can be a life-saver and these tests show that even drivers of cars fitted with the latest technology need to be aware of the dangers that worn shocks represent??.inactive currently ??" t.b.d. later Order/Support> Contact Workshop Solutions Pty Ltd PO Box 110 Potts Point NSW 1335 02 9360 2795 Fax 02 9327 1267 mail

Hello, There has been some confusion as to the requirements for this project. We are building 2 nearly identical sites, one for business to business and one for business to customer. we will build the template and then the functionality for the first (first 2 phases) and then repeat for the second though the template shouldn't change much at all. This project really is about designing one template for both and then adding the functionality listed in the main document attached to the request. Thank you for your bids

Already developing nicely through the Steam Early Access programme, Next Car Game: Wreckfest developers Bugbear Entertainment have revealed plans to bring the title to the console audience. Due for release sometime in 2017, Wreckfest should be a popular addition to a console market that currently lacks a truly next generation destruction derby style racing game. Although still very much in development for PC, this latest news could be very positive news for fans of Wreckfest. With many elements such as a proper career mode yet to be introduced, one would imagine an impending console port will positively influence the speed in which new features are implemented in Wreckfest. The game is already on very solid footing, with strong graphics and a sublime engine powering the advanced damage model, it should only be a matter of time until Wreckfest moves itself into more widely acknowledged circles. Understandably the studio are reluctant to announce official release dates, however it is understood that a release during 2017 is planned. No further details regarding the console version of Wreckfest are available at the time of publishing this article. In other related news, Bugbear have announced a new stunt driving game is in development, initially named (unsurprisingly) - Stuntfest. The new Stuntfest game with have a host of interesting and unique vehicles. Stunt cars will of course be available to drive on release, but the studio have also announced weird and wonderful wheeled items such as shopping trollies and even a mobility scooter will be playable! One of the main features of Stuntfest will be the ability to create your own environments in which to drive. From the Bugbear release promo: "Use Stuntfest's ingenious built-in editor to create your own levels using the supplied gameplay rules and a huge amount of building blocks – track pieces, ramps, loops and all sorts of crazy contraptions ranging from giant toilets to crushing hammers, all designed for building an outlandish stunt challenges" The new game will support Steam Workshop, allowing players to share their creations and download others unique takes on the stunt driving genre. Initial Early Access release is planned for September / October 2016, with a full release due in 2017. Eager gamers can already pre order the title from the Bugbear website, affording the player different privileges depending on their level of investment. Check out the Next Car Game: Wreckfest sub forum at RaceDepartment for all the news you need to know about this game. Have a chat with you fellow fans and find out what's happing in the world of Bugbear Entertainments current Destruction Derby style game. Will you be looking to purchase Wreckfest once it releases on PC? Do you fancy checking out Stuntfest at the end of the year? Let us know in the comments section below!

As in the last three years I volunteered to help man the Elecraft Booth, but this year there was a change as Eric WA6HHQ and wife would not be attending, but I would get to work with Lisa, who I had spoken to a lot while placing orders over the phone, Dave and Bob K6XX who I had spoken to but never met.
The trade show exhibitors this year started earlier at 0800 and officially closed at 1800, making a long day. Lots of questions, the most popular being "When can i get the KXPA100 100W PA for the KX3" , which was on display. The other new Elecraft item for me was the K3/0 mini, which is a remote front panel for remoting the K3 in a just sufficient box; you wont need to carry a full size k3 box in future. Bob was remoting his HF station in California using one, which worked as well as the Plano conference centre's wired internet would allow (horrible latency/reliability). The ISDR app for the Ipad to produce a panadaptor display (demonstrated by Eric at last years Hamcom) for the KX3 also generated a lot of interest, but a lot wanted an Android app!
I did see a useful aftermarket product for the KX3 which was an extended pair of sidepanels and a perspex cover to protect the front panel knobs on the KX3. http://gemsproducts.com/covers.html So useful i ordered a set Sunday morning
The outside flea market wasnt too exciting, but i did get a GPS board with CDMA modem assembly for $1. The Inside Fleamarket produced a couple of the HP 12V 47A PSU (like i used to power my 100W 3400MHz PA) for $20 each and a Flexible solar panel. I also discovered that Buddipole now have a "knurled whip sleeve" to put over the telescopic whips with the 1/4-20 thread (as I use on my PAC-12 HF antenna) to stop the whip assembly wobbling in its ferrule, so I ordered a few
I did get to meet John Langridge. KB5NJD who also operates on LF as WG2XIQ, a station i hear often on 474.2kHz. Unfortunately I could not get to his talk, but I did persuade him to email me his Powerpoint which made for interesting reading.

The Meeting is aimed at gathering experts or reseachers with an interest in global Lorentzian geometry under weak regularity assumptions on the metric. A growing number of papers is considering possible generalizations of the spacetime geometric structure. Some of these works consider affine connections which are just Lipschitz, or even metrics which are just continuous; others take inspiration from the methods of Non-regular Riemannian Geometry. Finally, some lines of research are more topological or, being quantum inspired, involve methods from non-commutative geometry. They all might provide new insights into the structure of the spacetime manifold at the metric level and beyond.
