This is a blog of our family stories. A few, with the help of our cousin, Ruth, will be about our great grandparents who immigrated here from Sweden. Many will be from our mother, Maxine, who was a wonderful story teller. The rest will be of our own family and friends. We hope others will share their own family stories.

|From our bedroom the other direction...the Wrigley Building with clock
|Same view but at dusk.
We did not do anything special today, but spent our time walking and enjoying the beautiful weather. I did take a very few pictures. This store window is one my mother, Maxine would have liked. The reflection shows the blue sky. There were lots of people walking but they all stopped to let me take the picture. How nice!
Beautiful pictures! I love Chicago . . . Have you had a Chicago style hotdog? Yummy!! I would also highly recommend taking the Chicago Planet walking tour. Worth it . . . and you can pick up a Chicago dog along the way if you take the Wicker Park option. http://www.chicagofoodplanet.com/ReplyDelete
Great pictures! Have a great visit--Chicago has so many wonderful things to do (and eat!)ReplyDelete
Great photos. I love the ones of the river view. I live in the city and love looking at the views. Chicago is a beautiful city.ReplyDelete
These pictures are great! I have never been to Chicago. My wife would love to see all of those sewing machines. Hope you have a great time.ReplyDelete
Looks like the first day was a good start. I always enjoy visiting Chicago - architecture and sights are amazing. Michelle & I had planned a trip downtown with the girls after Christmas, but the weather turned really cold. Maybe spring break. Enjoy your visit.ReplyDelete
These are beautiful! I love Chicago and was hoping to go back this summer - not sure we will now. However, I love that you shared them! Thanks Jackie!ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos! So glad you were able to enjoy our warmest day this year (I think!).ReplyDelete

A Memorable Trip To Beijing
Beijing is an idyllic travel destination with more delights than a tourist can imagine. I realized this while on a trip to china and honestly, I will go back regularly. The city boasts everything from rare architectural displays to lavish manicured gardens that will make you want to stay forever.
My first priority was to find the best place to sleep every day of my trip. Being one who makes last minute arrangements just for the thrill of it, I decided to check out some options online. Luckily, for me, it is quite easy to find a comprehensive list of Cheap Hotels Beijing. I chose one close to the airport and made the bookings before sleeping in my comfortable bed looking forward to my big journey ahead.
The Forbidden City was a first choice for me because I wanted to see for myself the largest, best-preserved palatial complex. It contains 9,999 rooms, which according to legend, is just one short of divine perfection.
What would a trip to China be without seeing one of the world's wonders-the Great Wall of China? The wall traverses five provinces and looks like a mythical giant dragon across the land. I have a great fear for heights and my knees could not allow me to climb but those who did came down with tales of panoramic views of the lands beyond.
I can spend a whole day sitting in a nice garden and Beijing did it right for me with the wealth of imperial gardens in its borders. The imperial
summer palace is a sprawling land of grandeur. It is home to Longevity Hill, and Kunming Lake with the area near the hill being most magnificent.
Chinese temples are popular around the world and there was no way I could go on without setting foot in one. My guide suggested the Temple of Confucius on Guozijian Street. I paid CNY 30 to enter and explore the courtyards as much as I liked. The hall of great accomplishment is where people came to pay homage to Confucius. The touch evil cypress is a 700yr. old artifact associated with legend. The story behind it is that a treacherous official had come to pay homage on the kings behalf only for his hat to be taken off by one of the tree branches. From that day, people believe that the tree can tell good and evil people apart. The most fascinating picture in this temple for me was the two dragons playing a pearl in the midst of clouds.
Beijing zoo was a splendid place to spend the last day of my trip. I was very impressed on seeing the giant panda, milu deer and the golden monkey. It was very late when I left the zoo and when I looked at the time over a meal outside; I knew I could not make it to my hotel before late night. As a visitor, I could not take the risk and walk the streets at night and so I took a cab to the Wangfujing Street in search for some good entertainment. The streets are lined with high-end stores and the traffic was blocked off to allow for fun. I joined some locals dancing and ate my fill of Chinese food from the local vendors. An amazing Hop, and I can not wait to go back again. as there is so much to see in one journey

Engine 48's former quarters on Bayside Street in Southwest Detroit has suffered significant fire damage in a recent blaze. This house was an outpost for many years, being the only firehouse on the opposite side of the Rouge River, which made 48's district only accessible by drawbridges until the I-75 bridge was built. A new station on South Fort replaced this firehouse back in 1980, and had been empty for a couple years now.
Is this the house that ran with an Anniversary Series Quad or Quint for many years?
Detroit Fire Headquarters 250 West Larned StreetBuilt in 1929.
Quote from: GTW6401 on February 15, 2012, 11:24:11 PMDetroit Fire Headquarters 250 West Larned StreetBuilt in 1929.Fire Headquarters is now for sale by the City of Detroit. They are trying to have a new occupant in place by the time they move into the new Police and Fire HQ complex.
Let's hope it doesn't get demolished like other Detroit landmarks! I read that some of the recently closed firehouses are already being scrapped.

It's a popular name for a band, for obvious reasons (though I must confess I am one of those few people on planet Earth who, as a child, never read the books, and as an adult, never saw one of the movies-- nor even expressed the desire to do so).
It might be obvious by now that this is my favourite subgenre of progressive music: European classical chamber music combined with the modern excitement and energy of jazz and rock. The former seems almost sterile and dry, like traditional French cuisine with its lack of spices, while the latter forms alone seem to me like junk food, without any finesse or thought. So the combined effect of the best progressive music is both intellectual and emotional in what it brings to our level of enjoyment, think for example of the best thought-out, best-laid plans of Genesis tracks like The Firth of Fifth. All of which is to say that I love these two records, similar perhaps to the Marcia Meyer instrumental folk compositions I so briefly posted once.
Both albums are very similar and there is no deterioration such as one often finds in compositional level from the first to the second. They feature some relatively unique instruments as is obvious from the back scan. The great flute performance on Namaste from the first:
Title track of the second record:
Notice that Jim Palmer is responsible for most of the composition. Imagine humanity creating the most perfect music for the emotional and intellectual education of the brain-- this would be it for me.

When it was evening I could hear you, your crying
Tear drops were flowing and quickly multiplying
Something so terrible was wounding you so deep
That it robbed you of calmness and robbed you of sleep
I wanted to say something but how could I ever say
That I heard you, your sighing, though you were miles away?
Wouldn't I seem so foolish or a bit out of my head?
I chose to keep this silent and prayed for you instead
How can one ever hide this, this gift of inner seeing
It's inwardly challenging and from it there's no fleeing
The Omnipotent, the Immortal has given to us all
Our inward assignments and the people who will call..

Since 2000, radiofrequency RF energy treatment has been increasingly offered as an alternative option to invasive surgical procedures for selected patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD. Out of 69 patients treated since June 2002 to December 2007 with the Stretta procedure, 56 of them reached by the end of 2010 a 48-month followup. RF treatment significantly improved heartburn scores, GERD-specific quality of life scores, and general quality of life scores at 24 and 48 months in 52 out of 56 patients 92,8%. At each control time both mean heartburn and GERD HRQL scores decreased = 0.001 and = 0.003, resp. and both mental SF-36 and physical SF-36 ameliorated = 0.001 and 0.05, resp
At 48 months, 41 out of 56 patients 72,3% were completely off PPIs. Morbidity was minimal, with only one relevant but transient complication. According to other literature data, this study shows that RF delivery to LES is safe and durably improves symptoms and quality of life in well-selected GERD patients.

Bruno Lancel Hamel (1837-?)
When in January 1859 the Auckland Provincial Government prevailed upon the geologist Dr Ferdinand Hochstetter of the visiting Austrian survey ship Novara to abandon his colleagues and undertake an expedition into the province's vast interior, 21 year-old Bruno Lancel Hamel was recruited to act as the expedition's photographer.
Hamel, of French Huguenot descent, was born in Tamworth, England in 1837, but had spent some years in Victoria, before returning to Britain in 1855 after the accidental death of his father at the Mt Blackwood goldfield. Unable to settle, Bruno and his mother left for New Zealand on the William Watson in August 1857, arriving in January 1858 in Auckland, where Bruno set up a photographic studio in Edward Street.
Hochstetter's expedition proved a gruelling 1000 kilometre, 79-day journey by foot, horseback and canoe, and even with the assistance of four Maori porters, sections of the trek were deemed much too rugged to safely transport Hamel's photographic equipment. Consequently while Hochstetter and his companions took a southerly route from the Waipa Mission Station to the Hot Lakes district via Lake Taupo, Hamel travelled directly eastward, rendezvousing with the rest of the party at Lake Tarawera. Despite this shortcut, Hamel still managed to arrive back in Auckland with a collection of some 60 glass plate negatives.
Within weeks his return Hamel had taken over John Nicol Crombie's former Shortland Street studio, now known as "Hamel's Atelier", and was offering for sale albums of photographic views from his recent trip. But Hamel's advertisement in Laurence's Auckland Almanac for 1860 (published in December 1859) gave as much prominence to his work as a musical instrument repairer as to his activities as a photographer. In March Henry Frith acquired Hamel's premises, and this may well have spelt the end of Hamel's photographic career in New Zealand. The following month the expedition camera used by Hamel was put up for public auction.
Bruno had married 17 year-old Caroline Umbers at St Patrick's Church, Auckland on 23 January 1860. But in September 1861 he arrived in Sydney on the Fortune, apparently leaving his young wife behind in Auckland. The following year Caroline, travelling alone, was caught up in the wreck of White Swan, en route for Wellington, where she appears to have settled, if temporarily. As for Bruno, in April 1863 the Maitland Mercury noted the brief appearance in West Maitland (New South Wales) of the photographers Sanders & Hamel. If this was Bruno, it could be the last confirmed sighting of him. In March 1866, Bruno's mother advertised in the Sydney Morning Herald for her son to contact to her. After her death in November 1873, the family solicitor in Tamworth also advertised for information about Bruno's whereabouts. Caroline, however, had already decided that Bruno was dead, and she remarried in December 1869, at the time describing herself as a widow. Despite her certainty, no trace of Bruno Hamel's death has ever been found.
In July 1859 the Auckland Provincial Government paid Bruno Hamel £10 for an album of photographic views taken on the Hochstetter Expedition. This album is now in the Sir George Grey Special Collections at the Auckland Central Library, and is prefaced by a portrait of Ferdinand Hochstetter, and by this panoramic view of Auckland – the earliest known view of the city's waterfront.

The top and bottom reinforcement seem to be reversed in the graphic.
Background: Each surface has a local coordinate system in RFEM (x,y,z).
The coordinates x and y are in-plane, z runs perpendicular to the surface.
The top and bottom side of a surface is determined by the direction of the z-axis.
The direction of the local z-axis determines the bottom side of a surface. Usually, this local z-axis is orientated downwards. Depending on the defined direction of the boundary lines and the sequence in which the lines were clicked., it is also possible that the local z-axis points upwards.
It is easy to correct this. First, display the local surface coordinate system.
To do this, proceed as follows:
Go to the "Display" navigator on the left. Here, you can set all display properties in a tree-like structure.
Open the entries "Model" -> "Surfaces" and select the "Surface Axis Systems x,y,z" check box.
The bottom reinforcement is on the side of the slab, where the z-direction is positive.
To reverse the direction of the local z-axis, click the corresponding surface, and then select the "Reverse axis system" option in the context menu.

A blog post from Ben Creet, Senior Issues Advisor at InternetNZ
16 May 2016
Why are mobile security updates so hard?
The US's Federal Communication Commission (the FCC) has started to dig into mobile phone security updates. This is a really good thing, especially when it comes to Android.
The basic problem is that Android is everywhere, but google relies on the phone manufacturer's and the telco's to actually implement and distribute security updates. Basically, none of the phone manufacturer's have good motives to give you phone updates - they want you to buy new phones. The result is that android is hugely fractured, with all sorts of versions of android still out there, unpatched and easily exploitable.
By comparison, 84% of iOS devices are using iOS 9. That's because iOS updates come directly to you and it nudges you to update. That's why it's really cool to see the FCC take an interest in mobile phone updates. The FCC has asked wireless carriers (Telecommunications companies) and eight phone and tablet producers how security problems on their devices get fixed. It's a great start and I really hope that we see some progress (mostly because I predicted that 2016 would be the year that Android updates got 'fixed' and I like being right).
Remember, phones aren't phones anymore, they're hand-held computers that you can call people on. To keep your information safe, phones and tablets should be regularly updated, which usually isn't the case for Androids. In the meantime, if you want regular, speedy updates on Android, then you should get a Google Nexus phone (or root it yourself and install cynagenmod).
Americans deterred from saying controversial things online
The US Government's National Technology and Information Administration (NTIA) released some really interesting survey results. It turns out that people's lack of trust really does make them think twice, and even stop, doing things online. The survey has some predictable results around what people are concerned about (identity theft, fraud) and that households with more Internet-connected devices are more likely to experience a security breach (a larger threat surface increases risk).
But what really stood out to me was the results of what online activities American's avoided due to privacy and security concerns. 29% of households concerned about government data collection said they did not express controversial or political opinions online due to privacy or security concerns. That is a pretty powerful chilling effect for a country with freedom of speech protected by the Constitution.
Skynet rolls one step closer
Robots are going to take people's jobs. It's a thing that comes up in the news every now and then. And with AI where it's at, those jobs aren't just manufacturing ones, they're medical, legal, accounting, professional advice and other professions that rely on research, knowledge and analysis.
I've been wondering when it would start, and it seems that it already has. A US law firm has 'hired' an AI to be a part of its bankruptcy practice. AI Ross is an IBM creation and is built from Watson. It looks to be doing paralegal research and analysis, which is exactly what an AI is likely to excel at. It can comb libraries and select relevant case law at speed and will pick up on new case law and legal precedence as soon as they're on the web and/or in the relevant libraries.
Yes, that chill going down your spine also went down mine. Truly, the cyberpunk dystopian future is now and I for one welcome our robot overlords.
Did I say overlords, I meant protectors! (Yes, that's a reference to a Jonathan Coulton song)
- Chiron Beta Prime by Jonathan Coulton (for the lyric reference)
Kazakhstan goes after Mega's customers files
When people talk about "the cloud", they're often talking about how the Internet blurs geographic distinctions, with good or bad consequences as a result. Of course "the cloud" is just a fancy term for other people's computers. Down in New Zealand, it looks like those people and computers are mostly overseas, but that doesn't have to be the case. New Zealand services hold data for and about people elsewhere, and that means we have to think hard about the legal and security issues of managing that data.
Mega is a NZ-based cloud platform. Last week, a New Zealand judge said they have to hand over customer details to a US court (IP addresses, email addresses, users' contact information, account and payment details). So far, so normal right? Reputable court systems deciding how information can be shared to settle disputes. The wrinkle here is that the data is sought by the government of Kazakhstan, which has an... interesting... human rights record (to be polite about it). While the immediate use of the data is to resolve a US civil case, the Kazakh government could also use this information to take other measures against people involved.
So an NZ court, forcing an NZ cloud provider to release information, might have human rights implications in Kazakhstan. That's a big issue for how NZ approaches release of information, but it's not one we've seen much discussion of. Here's the Stuff story with more details on the Mega case:

Which Came First—The Comic or the Toy?
Since their inception in the early 20th century, comic books have been synonymous with American youth and playfulness. The colorful, action-packed stories in the pages of comics translated into creative play in the backyard with capes and masks and into elaborate worlds scaled to the action figures on the playroom rug. As comics and action figures evolved, lines became blurred: which came first, the comic or the toy?
Not Just Fan Fiction: The Allen Hammack D&D Collection
My first library card was a small rectangle made of royal blue cardstock, with the handwritten number "9555" in the top right corner. This very valuable document allowed me to check out up to six items at a time from my town's library. Ever the opportunist, I always checked out the first six books that I picked up, knowing that I could come back anytime (!) and swap them for a new batch. This method of binge-reading let me plow through entire runs of some of my favorite children's (and young adult) series while in elementary school.
An Expansion Pack for A History of Video Games in 64 Objects
In our new book from the World Video Game Hall of Fame, A History of Video Games in 64 Objects, we faced a challenge. Which objects should we include? The Strong museum, home of the World Video Game Hall of Fame, has hundreds of thousands of objects related to video games in its collections, and so we needed to include just the right mix of artifacts that were important, helped tell the broader history of video games, and would engage readers.

"Summer just opens the door and lets you out." Deb Caletti, Honey, Baby, Sweetheart The front of a school building shimmers in the sun. A loud bell rings. The doors burst open and a flood of children spills out, cheering and tossing papers into the air. This image, used to the point of cliché, signals the start of summer and the freedom (albeit temporary) from the restrictions of school, the expectations of parents, and the anxieties of peer relations. In those precious ten weeks, an awkward misfit can shed his skin and emerge a swan, a hero, or a man.
Through the Artist's Eyes
My love of movable books and of antique toys and games containing the richly colored chromolithographs of the last half of the 1800s brought me to The Strong's Online Collections. I spent four days "oohing" and "ahhing" over the vast archive of images in the museum's database before I discovered it was possible to view the actual objects by arranging an appointment or, better yet, applying for a fellowship for an in-depth immersion.

There are few days left to the presentation of the OnePlus 5 smartphone that will bring several and aesthetic enhancements to the current OnePlus 3T but will collide with the main competitors in terms of price.
We know for sure that OnePlus 5 will be more expensive than its predecessor, and among the most plausible hypotheses, it is about 549 euros for the variant with more memory in Europe.
However, a good figure considering the hardware product and hardware, but it will not match online price drops, as it happens to other manufacturers.
OnePlus selling directly to consumers its products has total price control and for this reason, it is possible to exclude a downturn in the OnePlus 5 price list for at least the first 6 months, except for special promotions or OnePlus initiatives.
Considering that today, Galaxy S8 buys at 550 €, LG G6 at 479 € and P10 at 440 €, it's clear that OnePlus 5 will not have one of its strengths, a particularly low price (we obviously took as a reference the best Web prices as OnePlus is only bought online).
The rear camera may make a difference, and this year the company chose a last-generation Dual Camera.
There are no clear details to date, but as the latest information emerged, OnePlus 5 could have a monochrome sensor as per Huawei tradition.
The images published on Weibo, the social Chinese, show in fact some photos taken by the phone and one, in particular, is available in both color and black and white with a good definition.
Nothing is of course yet certain but this possibility is not to be ruled out even if, as emerged from our survey, the most appreciated Dual Camera configuration is the LG G5 / LG G6 style with different optics including a wide angle.
Last Note, Weibo also showed this image that would show a Dual Camera Horizontal and Non-Vertical configuration. The image reminds me too of the iPhone 7 Plus and then we put it in the right lane for completeness of information.

The Messier Project takes next step in player protection
Making hockey safer and improving player protection remain multi-faceted, intertwined and long-term challenges. But Mark Messier believes progress is being made in the mission, one the Hall of Famer has championed personally.
A big step just took place: Bauer Performance Sports has concluded its acquisition of Cascade Sports and The Messier Project.
The Messier Project, a collaboration between Cascade and the NHL legend, has raised awareness for player safety and head protection issues since its launch in 2009. In 2010, the North American Hockey League (NAHL) became the first junior league to adopt The Messier Project helmets on a league-wide basis. The partnership continues today with all 24 NAHL teams wearing one of the two Messier Project's helmets, the groundbreaking M11 and new M11 PRO, which have given hockey players new technology in the battle to reduce the risks of concussions and other head injuries.
"We are very supportive of Mark's vision and proud to have been the first junior hockey league to adopt The Messier Project on a league-wide basis," said NAHL Commissioner Mark Frankenfeld. "Our players' safety has always been a top priority and the acquisition of The Messier Project by Bauer Performance Sports will allow the company to further grow, enhance and improve the visionary mission that was set forth three years ago in keeping our players safety at the forefront."
The Messier Project, its technology and Mark's personal commitment will not only continue, but be amplified under the banner of the industry-leading Bauer Hockey brand.
"When we launched The Messier Project, our goal was to make a difference," said Messier. "It was an extension of a personal mission to better protect players and make the game safer through education and awareness, and product innovation. We've made great strides with this initiative," Mark added. "And now the acquisition of Cascade by Bauer Performance Sports is exciting for The Messier Project and for me personally.
"The support of the NAHL, one of the most respected hockey programs in the United States, means a lot to us here at The Messier Project," said Messier, who was on hand at the 2010 NAHL Showcase to debut the helmet. "We are proud to be moving into our third season with the NAHL and value the relationship because of the valuable feedback the member teams can provide."
Mark has been involved personally from start-to-finish in the development of The Messier Project's helmets. An admitted perfectionist when it comes to his own equipment, he has applied the same insight and scrutiny to the M11 and M11 PRO. Now Mark will be able to partner with the combined resources of Bauer and Cascade in future product development.
"I look forward to working together with the Bauer and Cascade teams to continue to drive our mission," he said. "I am very optimistic about our ability to accelerate progress in improving player protection, and deliver the most innovative head protection in the game of hockey."
Mark remains active in the rollout of The Messier Project's new M11 PRO helmet, the "next evolution" of the groundbreaking M11. Like the M11, the M11 PRO is built around Cascade Sports' patented Seven Technology, an impact attenuation liner system that's designed to more effectively manage energy transfer from direct impact. The M11 PRO blends the advanced protection with a new streamlined design, aggressive styling and improved features to create a new level of elite performance, fit and comfort.
Mark points out that the M11 has been widely embraced by hockey players, teams, coaches and parents at grassroots and developmental levels of the game. The design and features of M11 PRO are part of an effort to get the same advanced technology and protection on to the heads of elite players.
"After two years on the market we received a lot of feedback from the players," Messier said. "At the elite level, players felt really positive about the protection and comfort of the M11, but wanted a more streamlined design and look. We know from experience that we can't ignore elite players demands for the right design — the 'mirror test' for hockey helmets," he added. "We've responded to that with the M11 PRO, a model that offers advanced protection and pro-level performance. The M11 and the M11 PRO give players two great options for advanced head protection."
Mark was adamant on achieving an optimal fit with the M11 and M11 PRO, one that makes the helmet an extension of the player and completely unnoticeable during games. Players are telling him The Messier Project has accomplished that with both helmets.
"Comfort plays a role in protection," he said. "By eliminating pressure points, players are more likely to achieve a snug fit that keeps the helmet in place during play and on impact. The ProFit system is positioned low below the natural curve of the head with a mechanism that adjusts the entire helmet shell to provide a true, 360° custom fit."
The Pro Fit system was first introduced in Cascade Sports' top-selling line of lacrosse helmets and updated for the M11. The enhanced Pro Fit2 in the M11 Pro is a high precision, 15-point, no tool micro-adjustment system with a new ultra-compact, tapered design.
The M11 PRO is available in a full size range (s-m-l), and a Combo version that includes a perfectly fitted Cascade certified steel wire face protector in a neutral gray color for enhanced vision. Like the M11, the M11 PRO can be custom ordered in one of 256 color combination to help build team identities.

The head of the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association is in Terrace today holding a regional event.
Tony Roy is the association's Executive Director, and he says the conference will bring together housing providers and other stakeholders to shine a light on the acute need for affordable housing in the northwest.
He says it's also an opportunity for collaboration and knowledge sharing.
While government spends money on issues surrounding homelessness, Roy says there's no funding to tackle the core issue of housing.
He says that if the government won't step up, then they should be supporting non-profits that do.
He says this year, being a federal election year, is an excellent opportunity to raise the issue at a level where the largest impact can be made.
The B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association represents the non-profit housing sector throughout the province.

Why do certain moments influence us so strongly? In this Just the Right Book podcast episode, Roxanne Coady sits down with Dan Heath, who works closely with Chip Heath, his brother. They discuss their latest novel, The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact. Dan explains how the novel talks on subjects of those moments that bring special meaning to our lives and the importance of creating more special times like this.
The Heath brothers worked on this latest collaboration to talk about the many aspects of our lives where The Power of Moments apply, from business and marriage, to education, healthcare, and hospitality. Dan shares a few of the stories from the book including one of his favorites about a Los Angeles hotel called the Magic Castle. Here, you can order up free popsicles for delivery poolside using a red phone by the pool known as the "Popsicle Hotline." The frozen treats are even brought out on a silver tray by someone wearing white gloves. The Magic Castle may look like an average motel painted bright yellow but the staffers realize that guests will forgive a lot of "average" as long as there are certain moments worth cherishing.
Then, join us for "What's on the Front Table" as Justin Souther from Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe shares all.

NICK Weaver is to undergo revolutionary surgery in the United States in a bid to save his career.
The injury-haunted Manchester City goalkeeper will have an innovative cartilage operation in Cleveland, Ohio next week where tissue from a dead donor will be transplanted into his right knee.
Weaver, 24, will be the first British footballer to receive the pioneering surgery and specialists say he has a 60-70 per cent chance of making a full recovery.
"There is no doubt I have been lucky," said Weaver today. "A donor with exactly the right sized cartilage, down to the millimetre, has been found within a couple of months. I might have been waiting a long, long time."
Without the trail-blazing procedure Weaver's degenerating right knee would almost certainly have cut short his days between the posts. He has played just one game in the last two years.
"I will be back," said the defiant former England under-21 star. "I will be giving it everything I can to make sure I pick up where I left off. The doctors say the odds are in my favour and my determination is as fierce as ever.
"I am really optimistic, there would be no point going through with it otherwise. The operation entails taking out what is left of my knee and stitching a donor cartilage to the bone. If I had left this option any longer my bone may have gone soft and meant the treatment would not have been possible."
Weaver has his operation at the Cleveland Clinic next Thursday. Richard Parker, the world's leading expert in his field, will perform it.
"It is a pretty complex and delicate operation and though basketball players and American footballers have had it, I think I am the first British sportsman," Weaver added.
"There will be no timetable for a full recovery other than the one the doctors set. I know what a year's rehab is like, so I am mentally prepared for all the hard work.
"I will not waste the opportunity of making a full recovery. I will be living correctly and doing everything I can to make a successful return. My whole focus will be on getting back in goal for Manchester City.
"We have a great medical and physio team at City and I know I will be in good hands. The club have been fantastic since I got my first injury. The manager, the chairman and everyone have been so supportive and I want to pay them back as well as the fans who have sent such encouraging messages of support."
Has Nicky still got a bright future with City? have your say.

Our bus trip from Xela to Cunen ended up being 8+ hours yesterday! We were all quite tired when we finally arrived! It was an amazing ride through the mountains though. The mountains are just so beautiful – almost beyond words. We did encounter a few areas where there had been mudslides and the roads were still partially obscured but for the most part the roads were good. As we were driving and driving I realized just how far into these beautiful mountains we are. Kelly and Nick are exploring a shorter route back for us on Friday. I pray that happens. 8 hours in a chicken bus is a LONG ride!
Today was our first day on mission. Last night I was a little worried about folks because the 2 days of travel was hard. But today was a day filled with the presence of God! The construction team pushed through a lot of their check list for the week. They dug several trenches in search of the water line for the clinic. Thy found it and were able to tap into it for water in exam rooms in the clinic. They also painted and fixed the cracks in the walls that were made by an earthquake. They painted the outside of the clinic. They were visited by several children in the area and were blessed to have a couple of them pray with them (in Spanish) at lunch. They still have ahead making benches for the waiting room, some shelving, and other assorted projects.
The medical team saw 69 patients. We saw all the patients who came to be seen! We have 3 providers seeing patients, two nurses at triage, a pharmacist with a couple of helpers, and one team member who has been taught to do the lab work. Ellen and Valerie joined us and spent the day playing with the children – keeping them busy. The team ran so smooth that I would have never thought we were from more than 17 churches! I sit back in amazement at how God is using both teams to do God's work and blessing both teams at the same time. We are having an amazing experience and I believe it will only get better.
Blessings from all of us in Guatemala!
Blessings, Linda

It'll probably have the opposite effect and turn him right off. "I want to give you the best oral sex you've ever had."5. " So if you want to deliver these lines effectively, remember to think about these things: The tone of your voice.
"I want you to slowly kiss me from my lips, down my neck, onto my breasts and all the way down my body." (feel free to reword this to something even dirtier if you're comfortable.)6. Sometimes a deep and soulful tone is great for building sexual tension and keeping him thinking about you, while other times a more excited, varied tone works great for turning him on. Speaking slowly is almost always more powerful than speaking quickly when talking dirty. If you tell your man, "I love your butt in those jeans" but you are not even looking at him and your body language is completely closed off, then he'll know that you don't really mean what you are saying.

"I should probably go for it. It is difficult, it is out of my natural characteristic, but I feel I should…"
"Forheavenssake, snap out of it!"
"It's not going to be the end of this world if I step out of my self regulated attitude and ego, for something meaningful!"
"Why are you forgetting it will be against every principle of behavioral conduct you have been following ever since you were sensible enough to do so?"
"Don't pretend like you don't know. Change is how we experiment and evolve!"
"But some things always lay in the restricted zone, my friend!"
"Hear me out first! If I have come so far with my thoughts, shouldn't I give reasonable justice to them?"
"By thoughts, you mean those feelings. Don't you? Haven't we lived this world enough to know feelings take you no place whatsoever?"
"If you don't try, you'd never know what it holds for you."
"How convenient of you to take solace in some cliched quote which only people I have ever come across using are movie characters."
"You're being so calculative, that only shows how scared you are."
"No. What I'm asking you is to be a little sensible, just think what consequences your actions will bring. If they are favorable, go ahead. But if you aren't sure of it, why risk?"
"You ask me to be sensible? But because I'm an emotional fool, sensibility only gathers dust behind the head. Order me to foresee the consequences? It won't matter because I've already crossed the line of choice. Tell me don't go ahead with it? My mind can advice me all it wants, but my heart has already started living the fantasy."
There you go. A conversation between Rationality and Romanticism, the only type of thought processes we heed to.
And which conflict on every ground.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short novel The Parasite has inspired a series of articles, of which this is the last.
It is being published today to mark the 87th anniversary of Conan Doyle's death: he died on this day, July 7th, in 1930.
Although I had never even heard of The Parasite until a few weeks ago, many elements of the story seem very familiar. They have activated memories of things I have read in other books or experienced for myself; I have featured some of them in previous articles. Here are some connections that I have noticed:
The Parasite and John Buchan
The Parasite reminds me a little of John Buchan's story The Gap in the Curtain, in which people are trained to use the latent powers of their minds.
The volunteers are selected for their sensitive nervous systems and inability to cope well with the normal, physical world. This partly matches what Austin Gilroy says about himself: he calls himself a highly psychic, sensitive man.
The volunteers in The Gap in the Curtain are very different from Agatha Marden, whom Helen Penclosa successfully hypnotises as a demonstration of her power to control healthy, well-balanced people.
This makes me think of something that the eastern mystic and guru Kharáma says to the villain Dominic Medina in Buchan's novel The Three Hostages:
"The key is there, but to find it is not easy. All control tends to grow weak and may be broken by an accident, except in the case of young children, and some women, and those of feeble mind."
"That I know," said Medina almost pettishly. "But I do not want to make disciples only of babes, idiots, and women."
"Only some women, I said. Among our women perhaps all, but among Western women, who are hard as men, only the softer and feebler."
Agatha Marden is hardly soft and feeble, but she is not hard enough to be able to resist being hypnotised. In any case, she was eager to try it out. Even so, it was quite an achievement for Helen Penclosa to be able to control someone that even the great Kharáma might have had trouble with.
There is a gap of 30 years and an intervening World War between the publication dates of The Parasite and The Three Hostages. There were probably many more 'soft women' around in 1894 than there were in 1924.
One trope that still worked is the use of mysterious, remote and exotic locations to account for someone's powers: Helen Penclosa is West Indian; Kharáma is Indian.
The Parasite and Terry Pratchett
Helen Penclosa's ability to project herself into someone else's body, the lethargy this generates and the accompanying danger of getting permanently lost reminds me of Terry Pratchett's witch Granny Weatherwax and the way she uses animals, birds and even bees to gather information.
Granny Weatherwax is highly adept at 'Borrowing' – the art of overlaying her mind on the mind of another creature so that she can see through its eyes and steer its actions without its being aware of her presence.
She lies down on her bed to do it. While her mind is out borrowing, her body falls into a catatonic, almost death-like trance. Her fellow witches are often afraid that she will never return.
Unlike Helen Penclosa, Granny Weatherwax uses her powers just for travel and surveillance purposes. Unlike the victims of Helen Penclosa, Granny's hosts are never harmed. She leaves out sugar for the bees in payment for her use of their swarm.
Pratchett's sadistic, vampiric Elves go in for mind control too.
The Parasite and Dan Simmons's Carrion Comfort
Reading about the way Helen Penclosa controls people has activated vague memories of a horror novel by Dan Simmons that I read many years ago. I remember very little about it apart from the mind vampires and how they made people act and speak out of character:
Carrion Comfort portrays a tiny fraction of humanity that has immense psychic powers, which they refer to as 'The Ability.' These powers can be used to completely control people from a distance and force them to commit any physical action, including murder. This ability is innate and atavistic.
I plan to find a copy and see if there are any more relevant connections, familiar elements and useful ideas. I hope to get the edition that includes an introduction by the author to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the novel's publication, as in it Simmons discusses his inspiration for Carrion Comfort.
I first read this book before I had started investigating unseen influences; re-reading it in the light of what I have learned since then should be interesting.
The Parasite and revenge
Reading about Helen Penclosa causing Austin Gilroy to lose his professorship in revenge for his rejection of her reminded me of a real-life incident in which someone lost his job because he behaved out of character and made some very serious mistakes. I believe that this happened because he was not interested in an unattractive colleague who wanted attention from him.
There is also the case of Dianne Wynne Jones's vindictive witch Biddy Iremonger, who openly and consciously tried to destroy a family because the father had chosen to marry someone else.
The Parasite and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Conan Doyle wrote The Parasite after he had left Southsea and killed off Sherlock Holmes – or so he thought at the time!
In his autobiographical work Memories and Adventures, his only reference to The Parasite is to call it a little book that is on a very inferior plane to The Great Shadow - an action and adventure story set in the Napoleonic era whose merit he considers to be very high.
Unlike Dan Simmons, Conan Doyle said nothing about how The Parasite came to be written. We will probably never know how much of it is based on his experiences of the world of psychic phenomena.
Conan Doyle had been interested in spiritualism since 1886. He attended séances and demonstrations of mesmerism, so I am guessing that he based Helen Penclosa on someone he met at a sitting. He constructed the story around her, perhaps using innate knowledge of how witch-like women feel, think and behave. There are certainly some very familiar scenarios and relevant points in the story.
I wonder why he chose the exact time of 3:30 pm for the death of Helen Penclosa. This makes me think of the number 33, which has great significance and which is the number of the house in Southsea where I once lived - just up the road from where Conan Doyle once lived.
I wonder what he would think of all the material that his little story has generated.

'Pixel Drifters' Lets You Do Donuts in a Weinermobile Next Week
Appsolute Games and Tarboosh Games are bringing Pixel Drifters to the App Store on April 6th. It's a pretty cool little game of car drifting, where your car is constantly accelerating, and you drift it around parking lots, collecting coins and trying not to crash. Collecting coins nets you points, and getting long strings of coins multiplies what you get. The whole thing kind of feels like if Thumb Drift [Free] met Pako [$1.99 / Free] but also pixel art was involved somehow.

Although the National Football League is not exactly known for giving out second chances, however it appears former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman has quickly received one. The struggling Minnesota Vikings signed Freeman after his release from Tampa, and appear ready to move on from Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder, handing the reigns over to the 25 year old former Kansas State star.
Just a few weeks ago, Freeman was butting heads with his old coach Greg Schiano in Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers are off to a woeful start, and it appeared the two were no longer seeing eye to eye. Schiano wanted to move forward with his guy, Mike Glennon, whom he selected in the 2013 draft.
The arguments between the two stole national headlines and bringing as much negative publicity as any team can handle to Tampa Bay. The character and style of both men was called into question many times over the course of this season, and as a result the Buccaneers ultimately had to make a decision.
Choosing the coach over the quarterback, Freeman was let go.
Minnesota came calling, and quickly signed Freeman after his departure from Tampa. A sign that the team is moving on from disappointing former first round draft pick Christian Ponder, the Vikings hope the change will help salvage a season that has not gone according to plan.
After making the playoffs via the wild card in 2012, the Vikings encore performance has the playoffs as distant a possibility as one could have drawn up heading into 2013. Defense has been a major reason for the early season struggles, but the offense has not fared much better.
Ranked 21st in passing yards, and shockingly outside the top ten (13th) in rushing yards despite having the best back in the game in Adrian Peterson. Defenses have keyed on stopping AP, and without even a slight threat of a passing attack from Cassel or Ponder, the running game has struggled to meet last year's standard.
At just 1-4, the Vikings will see what Freeman can do. A year ago he eclipsed 4,000 yards passing and had 27 touchdowns, so stretching the offense vertically should not be an issue. This bodes well for Greg Jennings, who has struggled to produce without Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball. Rookie receiver Cordelle Patterson also should stretch the field and give Freeman two options deep.
Should Freeman be able to even make defenses think about the deep ball, Peterson's numbers should increase. If that happens, the Vikings will begin to control the clock and keep their struggling defense off the field. That gives this team a better chance at winning than it had before.
Freeman will be under the microscope of the biggest stage in the NFL for his debut, when he leads his Vikings into New York to face the winless Giants on Monday Night Football. The game is clearly winnable for Minnesota given the Giants record, and Freeman should be able to find success throwing the ball against this hapless secondary.
The move makes sense on paper, now it is up to Freeman to show that he can produce on the field and avoid the headaches off of it that cost him his job in Tampa Bay.

Good thing this isn't retro's gameReplyDelete
Though at this point since a Starfox and Metroid game have been announced it might be something completely new
Can you see why people want the next Metroid game to be a spiritual successor NOT made by Nintendo?ReplyDeleteReplies
Cold water on my dick.ReplyDelete
Why would we ever want to play as the true bad guys of the Metroid-verse, though? After they were shown to be such huge hypocrites throughout the series, I'm not really thrilled about being an unnamed expendable pawn under their command. x)ReplyDeleteReplies
...umm... they were kinda sorta helpful in Prime 3?Delete
Yeah, I got nothing.
Honestly, people who are saying that the game will kill the franchise are right. But not for the reason they think. Nintendo will get so piss-scared of the fan-outrage that they'll never ever want to touch the name Metroid again. It's alright to feel disappointed, but I honestly feel like that knee-jerk response is getting out of hands.Delete
Biggest disappointment of E3 by far. What a crock of shit. This is VERY clearly an original IP that had Metroid slapped on it at the last minute. What's wirse is that as an original IP, it might be interesting. But it leaves too much of a bad taste in my mouth for me to care at all.ReplyDelete

Whenever there is a dire need for infusing a fresh new feel to any decor or giving a facelift to improve any home's appearance, the first thing that most of the households think about is getting the home re-painted. It is quite acknowledged from the ROI point of view that there is nothing better and inexpensive than painting, which brings major transformation to the home's looks. It is somewhat akin to the time when you want to look different and you think about having a makeover. But, as your makeover results are dependent on your makeover professional, in the same way how amazing your home would come out after getting repainted depends majorly on the role of painter and his level of expertise and craftsmanship. This is why hiring a credible professional painter is much emphasised. Read on to find out what is that the painter you are thinking about hiring is not going to reveal to you until you ask.
- The details of the cost – Your painter is only going to show you the bigger, unobjectionable picture of the cost. He is going to portray that it is all guesstimated, and there is nothing that is bloated or to worry about. He is going to give you all the reasons to believe in the authenticity of the process than unravelling the details of the process. If this is the case with you, you should make it a point to ask him straightway that you are interested in knowing the details of the cost including the material cost and the labour cost along with the scope of work, warranty, payment terms, etc., etc. It is not to show all the painters in bad light, but it is to make you wary of some potential ways of deceit.
- What's the deal with the cheapest painting services – You might feel tempted to hire a painter who offers painting services at unbelievably low prices, but did you ever care to know how he is able to make a living out of such a seemingly unprofitable job. No business is here without the motive of making profits; so, if a painter is offering services at cheap rates, it is very likely that he is providing substandard services so as to make up for the cost. As a matter of fact, a quality job is never done at low prices. When quality concern is at the apex, costs including material costs and labour costs are generally higher. If you want quality to take a backseat in your project and are thinking about going with the cheap services, be prepared for an array of cons that follows including shortness of the job, lower quality, substandard finish and a complete wreck of money.
- Is he ready for the extent of preparation needed for the repaint job? – Many a times, your painter would not be ready to deal with the preparation stage for the repaint job. He would not take up preparation needed for repainting no matter how much your place is in need for it. It is you who need to examine how much and what kind of preparation is needed for your home so as to make it fit for repainting. And on the basis of this knowledge, you should discuss it with the painter that you choose for the job prior to finalising him.
- Insurance coverage – In most of the cases, your painter would not tell you that the insurance he talked about to win the deal only covers him and not the other five to six or whatever number of people working on the job. This comes under a kind of misrepresentation of facts about the company. This is, however, a big problem in case of any accident where the homeowner is brought under the scrutiny and is held liable to deal with the medical charges and compensation. Such can never be a case if you deal with the Sydney commercial painters as reliable as Rabin Painting Services.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Review
Kaspersky Labs has established themselves in security software, and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 continues to validate their reputation. This antivirus software solution is certainly one of the best on the market.
Like so many of the other antivirus packages, Kaspersky Anti-Virus is a complete antivirus solution with real-time protection.
The software is more equipped for comprehensive security.
Kaspersky also offers a 3-user license option, so it's actually a very cost-effective way to protect all of your home computers.
Protection: 5 Star
Kaspersky Anti-Virus protects your computer from all angles, guards against viruses, trojans, worms, and spyware. The impressive arsenal also keeps your computer safe from exploits, adware, malicious scripts, and more. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 offers full web protection; the Kaspersky URL Advisor gives you a whole new level of protection while online.
Of course the upgraded Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 covers more ground, however for desktop antivirus software, Kaspersky Anti-Virus is as all-encompassing as they come.
Effectiveness: 5 Stars
Kaspersky has historically been one of the most effective antivirus software around, often the first to detect new viruses on the internet. The software continues to take advantage of the large user-base with their Kaspersky Security Network. This community approach basically lets each user to act as a lookout for all the others within the community. If Kaspersky gathers information from your computer about a new virus, they can find the cure and deliver it to everyone quickly.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus doesn't just find and remove malware, it also keeps an eye on potential security threats. The integrated scan checks for system and application issues that should be addressed to reduce vulnerabilities.
Installation: 5 Stars
Kaspersky is super easy to install by following the traditional setup wizard platform to perform a suggested or custom install. The software is available as a box copy, or you can download and install the software immediately. Kaspersky protects your computer from the very begining, from a number of threats with antivirus for your files, system, and web. Kaspersky blocks viruses and spyware in real-time and includes advanced white-listing and other application controls for any other applications you open.
In fact, Kaspersky also has a "Gamers" mode that can be deployed for uninterrupted gameplay. Now when you're in the middle of a full-screen action packed screen play you won't be frustratingly interrupted with random pop-ups or security alerts.
Use: 5 Stars
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is quite simple to use, with an easy interface and user-friendly navigation. The software is effectively organized for easy use. The features have a simple color-coded graphic so you always know what your security status is.
The dashboard features simple left nav tabs and easy access to the quarantine, reports, and settings (where you'll find the scheduler). The interface includes useful icons to identify the various components, and is effectively organized.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus has traditionally been geared toward expert users. While the advanced tools and abilities are still there the security software is definitely showing more of a consumer approach. The 2010 version of Kaspersky provides solid security and should work well for both beginners and experts alike.
Features: 5 Stars
One unique feature is the virtual keyboard. While the efficacy is debatable, the virtual keyboard lets you input text by simply clicking on the "keyboard" with your mouse. While it's no way to type an essay, the Kaspersky virtual keyboard does avoid key loggers and those trying to steal your info with keystroke recognition malware.
Advanced users will love the complete control over the antivirus software that they have. Kaspersky is a software dream, with customizable controls for every component. And while experts can tweak a number of things, the slider controls and toggle buttons should be easy enough for anyone to use if they want to. With the various settings you can customize what Kaspersky scans, how deep it scans, as well as other tweaks for each individual scan.
One new feature that will help ramp up security for everyday web browsing is the Kaspersky URL Advisor. This plug-in runs on your web browser and will help you stay away from malicious websites. If you accidentally stumble on a bad link, Kaspersky alerts you and blocks the access. And the plug-in doesn't install a new toolbar, so you probably won't notice much change to your routine online browsing.
Updates: 5 Stars
Frequent updates are essential for effective antivirus and antispyware protection. Kaspersky Anti-Virus delivers updates on a regular basis. These updates can be done every hour, for continual security and to make sure that updates aren't so big that they take forever to load.
And if your computer completely crashes, you'll be glad you had the ability to create a rescue boot disk. The rescue disk can easily be burned, and will contain a disk image (ISO file) that can run on boot-up and help you revive a dead PC.
