God said:
My Beloveds, this is the Day I have made for you. Take it. It is yours. You would like Me to fill your Days, yes? Of course, you do! There are all possible kinds of Days to set before you. The Menu is Infinite, dripping with all kinds of exquisite Joy! By all means, partake of this Day. Stroll as you choose. Your walking style depends on you.
There is a splendid Line-Up for you. Today is indeed yours for the asking. You are next in Line.
Every day is like a Day of New Shoes for you.
Every day is a Raffle for you never held before. You are the Consigner of the Raffle. You enlist in every Day!
Come right up. Pick your ticket. Today is for you as no other day has ever been before. The potential before you is enormous.
From what Angle of the Sun will you see Life today?
Upon which Possibility or Inevitability will Today arise? Upon which opportunity never before revealed will today revolve on?
Upon which Revelation? Upon which Star does the Night shine on you tonight? Upon which Stone on the pavement. Which identified Century do you enter or depart when there is no such thing as time, and yet time is paramount to your heart in this puzzle you find yourself dazed in.
What is the Day you choose today like? Do somersaults in Blue Skies. Do you finding yourself on a Rebounder today. The World is your platform. May Today be your jumping-off place. You are not glued to it. You can jump on and off and go all around the block.
The Colors of the Rainbow are yours. We can consider today a Round-Up of Life.
Every day is a sculptured carving revealed. You get onto the Merry-Go-Round and rarely get off.
There never has been a Day like today. Today has your name on it. Do you see your Day Today in Blazing Colors? What else can a Day be in but Bright Light?
Today does not have to emblazon you. Today can be an ordinary sort of Day. It doesn't have to be spectacular. Nonetheless, there is no Day that isn't spectacular except in your divination of it. Even a hum-drum day can take off and dance itself across the horizon. Hurrah!
Today is a Day for the Taking. Swing Today forward. Make Today the kind of Dancing Day you would choose. This is what you do anyway. You don't have to huff and puff and blow the day down. You don't have to knock today across the Sky.
Beloveds, a Day is more than its Circumstances. A day is an Occasion, display the Occasion of it. You set up the Ramparts. You connect the Dots. You employ the Day. You describe it. You set it forth. You set up the croquet set. You get your Day going. Sometimes your Day seems hit or miss, yet every Day unfolds remarkably. You sign up for each Day. The Day may be set before you, yet you may dribble the day on and off the court and peek at it.
You may vouchsafe that you will have meetings, expected and unexpected, on and off the Stage. You make Connections. What an arrangement you make every single Day of your Life on Stage and how you sport yourself around the Block.
Welcome to your Day on Earth Today. Get a hold of it. Let's embrace and Shine Light on Today. Today is for Something. Never was this Day before until this moment in Heaven. You may have dreamed Today. If so, it is your Dream you Dream. It is your Song you Sing. Sing Today Well. Today is your Day. You etch it on Earth. What Name will you Name Today, Merry Sunshine?

Cycling UK Oxfordshire organises its own rides and we also highlight some rides run by other local groups.
Even if you are not a Cycling UK member, you will be welcome on any ride that is within your capabilities and we will be happy to match you up with suitable rides. In general, you can ride for free on three rides before deciding whether to join Cycling UK.
- This event has passed.
Annual General Meeting 2017 (AGM)
Sat 4 November 2017 - 11:00am to 12:00pm
Our AGM this year moves to a new venue – a pub! And, we will buy everyone a drink – yes a free beer, soft drink, tea, coffee or almost whatever!*
We are meeting in the front room of the pub and they will have a range of drinks and snacks available for us. They have a courtyard, which is a good place to park bikes.
We are changing the format too, the formal meeting will be kept to a minimum needed to pass the necessary votes. We will then move to informal discussions of cycling past, present and future. You can stay for as much or as little of this as you like – with a coffee, a beer, or even lunch from the pub.
- Should we try something longer than a Century in 2018? Or more half-day rides? Or beginners rides?
- Are you interested in an away weekend in 2018? Where would be good?
- Or, a long-distance mountain bike tour, like the Wales South-to-North that four of us did in Spring
We have a separate area in the pub booked and we encourage all Cycling UK Members in and around the county to join us.

Pete McLeod, BA'07 (Economics), cannot remember a time when he wasn't flying while growing up in Red Lake, Ont.
The 33-year old Londoner is an accomplished bush pilot, had his pilot's license at 16, pursued aerial aerobatics at 18, and earned his instructor rating in less than a year.
Following successes at the North American Collegiate Championship – all while earning his Economics degree at Western – McLeod competed in classical aerobatics internationally before switching his focus to racing. In 2009, he rewrote history when he became the World Championship Series' youngest pilot at 25 and became its youngest race winner ever at 30.
Most recently, McLeod became the first Canadian to claim an overall podium in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, taking third place at the season finale in October at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Two weeks earlier saw another first as he and his wife, Allison, welcomed their daughter, Aria, on Oct. 3.
One of the more popular aviation figures in Canada, McLeod sat down with Western News days after wrapping up his 2017 racing season.
* * *
What has been more difficult the last couple of weeks – flying your plane at 400 km/hr or becoming a father?
(Laughing) It's a little relief when the season is over and you get to take a little bit of a deep breath and reset. But, based on what I've heard, I may be in for the most surprises with the fatherhood role. The airplane tends to do what I tell it to do and never talks back. Neither does the baby yet – but give her time.
You've been progressing in the standings over the years. Now you grabbed a podium spot. What was it that took you to that next level?
It's not a single moment that sparked it; it's an accumulation of a lot of hours put in over the last three seasons and things all clicking. Internally – with the team and in my mind – there is a lot of progress being made continually but, of course, in sports, that doesn't show up to the rest of the world until it's on the scoreboard.
Probably the biggest change was putting a focus on what I need to do as an athlete and try and not to get distracted by the day-to-day operations. We run a pretty small unit, five to six people at the races, and if everyone does their job there and carry their weight, it really lets everyone excel at what they need to do. It's about teamwork and surrounding yourself with good, smart people, that makes your job easier.
From a spectator point of view, this is a thrilling sport to watch. How you balance your competitiveness and pushing the envelope for speed, while at the same time knowing there is always a risk in what you do?
The sport itself has a tremendous safety record – but there is no fooling with what we do. One wrong move, or failure of equipment, puts you in a tough situation real fast.
A lot of people think, 'This guy must be crazy' or 'a huge daredevil,' but honestly, I'm not much of a risk-taker. I don't ride a skateboard; I'd love to ride a motorcycle but I look at them and say, 'Wow, these things are too dangerous to get on one of those.'
It's just my comfort level in the airplane. That's something that has been developed over the course of my life. The environment I come from, bush flying up North, you learn to think and take care of yourself. A key to any successful risk management is being aware and recognizing the risks. Ignoring them, just because you pretend they're not there, doesn't make them go away.
All of this is very calculated – the level of training and preparation, the quality of equipment, the processes in place. None of it is weekend warrior 'Hey, I'll go give this a try and see how it works out.'
The risk is real. The consequences aren't the bright side of what we do, but as long as I'm passionate about it, and feel that I can manage, then it's something I'm comfortable with.
Flying planes up North. Was that a training ground for where you are now?
Not until I was a teenager did I realize not everyone got in an airplane and flew on a daily basis. It wasn't a recreational thing in my family. My family had a small fishing business, and so a float plane was my pick-up truck. I was in the plane at 6 weeks old, starting to fly on my dad's knees at about 3 years old and had my private pilot's license before I could legally drive a car. A little different, that's for sure.
Did you run into a lot of naysayers along the way? How did you respond?
The biggest challenge was always my age. I was so much younger than my peers. There were a lot of guys who simply said I was too young. But part of being young is the casual ability to say, 'You know, screw you, I'll show you. I'll prove you wrong.'
Age isn't a roadblock; it shouldn't be a discriminating factor on how to perform and prove yourself.
At the time, I entered the series as the youngest rookie ever 25 years old, 20 years younger than the average age and the youngest ever by like 11 or 12 years. It was a big shift.
The Red Bull Air Races takes you to places you'd likely never see without the sport, such as Japan, Dubai, Austria, the United Kingdom. Are there places you look forward to visiting more than others?
I've been around the world a number of times – but I'm still a kid at heart from northern Ontario.
I've got to see more of the world than I ever imagined I would, or even knew about growing up. I'd never been outside North America until I started competing. Some of the strongest memories are the places that I do well in. The food always tastes better when you win.
Overall, the biggest thing is all the travel showed me there a lot of great things and people in the world, a lot of commonalties. It makes it very special to come back to Canada because we have a lot of great things here and live in a wonderful place. But, at the same time, you see the other people in the world also do great things. There's a lot we can learn from other people and a lot we can teach the rest of the world.
Your occupation has a very limited talent pool and you see the same competitors in the course of a racing season. How is that relationship with all the other racers?
There is a certain amount of comradery with the other racers. Certainly, when it comes down to race day and you're on the track, nobody likes it more than to be out there and beat whoever you're up against. That's what drives me.
There are some special bonds and some great friendships. It's a unique thing we do, so you don't see some a lot of the animosity you may see in other motor sports. It's pretty civil. All these guys have worked hard to get here and come from a pretty diverse background. It's a good group to be around and definitely a good group to compete against.
You graduated from Western in 2007. While your racing schedule keeps you extremely busy, have you been back to campus lately?
Western was a great experience and I enjoyed my time. It was definitely a direction pushed by my family. I wanted to chase my sport, but they said, 'Get a degree, buddy. It may come in handy because you don't know how things are going to turn out.'
You learn so much at a place like Western, more than just in the classroom. They're helping to prepare people for a variety of things and that's something I always take with me. It was a great four years of my life. I went away and have been living my dream ever since.
I've been very, very fortunate. To be honest, people who do what they love are out there, whether it's in business, sports or art, and they are successful because of it. It's a passion. It's nonstop. There are ups and downs, to a point where you just never put it down if it's what you love to do. My job is my hobby, my passion, my career, my everything. That's what I do.
Through Western's ambitious fundraising campaign, Be Extraordinary, we are raising the bar to enrich The Western Experience.
We are preparing students to become the next generation of global leaders. We are also inspiring innovative learning and igniting world-class discovery to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges.
We invite alumni and friends to participate in our campaign, and help double the number of alumni who contribute to making Western extraordinary.

I have been mulling about why I don't blog that much, and realized that it's because I don't have confidence in myself. I like to tell myself that it's because I'm busy, or that if only I could write the entry as soon as the ideas come to, I would blog regularly. But really, if I were able to write about my thoughts immediately, I know I still wouldn't publish them in my blog because I still wouldn't be happy with it. I would think it's not brilliant, and so what would be the point?
I've decided that I don't want to think like that anymore. I've resolved to blog more often, and to try and not be so critical of myself. After all, the blog is supposed to be a collection of my thoughts, a record of my growth, and so I just need to stop criticizing and just write what comes to me.
Great post Monica :-)

Many entrepreneurs take jobs that there is no real desire for. Sometimes it is simply a way to make ends meet. Often it is because you still need to figure out where you fit in.
What would your life look like if:
- You were doing the work that interests you the most?
- Taking assignments that pull at your heartstrings? it is easy to spend endless hours with no complaints working on them.
- Contributing your skills, talents and abilities in work that rewards you with meaning, excitement, and joy?
If you are not yet on this path, let me share that the picture looks a lot different when you do what you are wired for and excel at it. Why? You are pre-programmed towards certain likes and dislikes. Although you can doing many things, it's good to pay attention to what you desire and want to do. This is what people refer to when they talk about purpose. It is liberating when you know what you are gifted to do. That is when you can clearly define your preferences and a plan for how to share your talent on purpose with the world.
For instance, I enjoy watching home improvement shows where women are in charge of the rehabbing. Although the process is exciting to watch I can honestly say it is not work that I would personally enjoy. However, if I were ever asked to be a part of a rehab team, I would offer my skills in administration. The reason is because this is where I excel.
How do you find your strengths and purpose? One day I had an idea to take out my resume and review my past work. I asked myself questions like, "What tasks do I feel most confident doing?", "Where have I been acknowledged by others for doing a good job?", "What assignments were the most (or least) interesting and why?", "What projects do I look forward to today that put a sparkle in my eyes?" After jotting down my answers, I used the same questions to examine my roles as wife, mother, and minister. That is when my purpose became as clear as the bright morning sun.
Some insights that I gleaned from this exercise were:
- I spend the majority of my time managing finances and administrative tasks for others.
- The assignments that I enjoy most requires a computer
- Using software and management tools to keep entrepreneurs on top of the financial side of business is extremely gratifying and meaningful to me.
I continue to use this process and each time that I do, I see my roles and purpose become more aligned.
Have you ever struggled with figuring out what you should be doing in life? What is one way that you have been successful in finding your purpose and staying on track?

Yesterday was recital day. I'll bet there were more hair buns yesterday on Earth than any other day of the year. My daughter was lovely, lovely.
I've watched this for so many years now that I know how it's all gonna go. For two weeks before she is wired. She moves constantly. Always sort of rehearsing. She can't sleep. And the gaggle of girls at the studio are all giggles and whispers and tears and hugs and jumping up and down and spinning and stretching and pointing their toes and sighing and massaging their muscles and snapping fingers and humming portions of songs.
It's a hyper buzzing.
Then recital.
Then the crash. Sleeping. Sadness that another year is over. For some dancers, this was their last recital. Ever.
I hope they find a way to continue dancing, somehow.
The younger girls will miss the ones going off to college. The older girls have been so kind to the younger ones; they will miss them too.
I love dance as a form of expression. I love when a dancer moves beyond performing, then beyond entertaining, then into expressing.
I imagine someone could keep a lot of emotions all bottled up and locked away, but find a way to share them through dance.
This has been a sort of hard week. Teenager stuff. Imperfect parent stuff. Learning stuff. Don't really know what God is trying to do, but I think I can safely assume He's always in the process of making me more like Him. Which is an honor. I think I am learning how to pray more specifically for my kids–how to fight for them through prayer.
My husband got me this little sign. I put it in my kitchen, and I love it so much.

The global retailer Tesco is the third largest retailer in the world measured by revenues and the second largest measured by profits but it is the first in the world to publish its QR Code campaign statistics in real time. In what can only be called a stroke of genius Tesco has QR Coded print ads (image below) for "Call of Duty – Black Ops" with the bit.ly url shortener so that anyone can see the campaign statistics (image below). The QR Code resolves via the biy.ly url to a page were the game can be preordered. See how the campaign is progressing here. Thanks to Tesco's Nick Lansley for the heads-up.
8 thoughts on "Tesco's QR Code Campaign in Realtime"
haha –
Microsoft products using qr codes. Love the irony.
In terms of UX – maybe its just my phone, but it is darn hard to buy this game off my phone. Maybe its because the site doesnt fit my phone.
If I was really into this game, I would rather watch a short trailer, and forward this message to my inbox and order when I got home.
2 cents.
Patrick, qrarts
I saw the ad this morning in passing. Noticed the QR code but didn't realise that Tesco were letting everyone see the stats through bit.ly. Interesting to see what happens with this.
Cool! This is great info….wonder how many people scanned, then purchased?
You'd think Tesco, as the second most profitable retailer in the world, would have got this right.
The target website is difficult to navigate, fails meet the call-to-action appropriately by not presenting the link to pre-order prominently on load, and worst of all, my pre-oreder failed during checkout (on my iPhone) three times.
Tesco could single-handedly bring QR to the masses, educate them and profit from them. But only if they take it seriously.
The other thing, and this is not really Tesco's fault, but the real-time results will be highly skewed by desktop clicks from links, such as the one above, which also appear on other blogs, including Nick Lansley's.
Tesco will not be able to measure the success of this campaign accurately because of this, and neither will it be able to measure through pre-orders if they fail during checkout.
good statistical package can classify visits by user agent so the stats will not be skewed.
By the way I think it strange that there is so few clicks.
Do you have an idea of geographical diffusion of the ad ?

I use Win7 64bit as OS
While I don't want my enthusiasm to be seen as subjective I ran a PC performance test after every step.
For the performance test I used Performance test 7 from PassMark Software.
The original configuration: MB: Socket 775-MSI platinium / PCU: Intel Core2 Duo E6750 / memory 4Gb RAM 800 / video card: Nvidea 8500 GT
Score on the test:
Modified configuration step 1:
- 4GB RAM 800 replaced with 8GB RAM 1066:
Score on the test:
Modified configuration step 2:
- 4GB RAM 800 replaced with 8GB RAM 1066:
- Nvidea 8500 GT replaced with Nvidea 460GTX
Score on the test:
Practical findings after this modification:
- The difference in video applications and games is huge
- The difference in PS and NX2 is hardly noticable
Modified configuration step 3:
- 4GB RAM 800 replaced with 8GB RAM 1066:
- Nvidea 8500 GT replaced with Nvidea 460GTX
- C disk replaced with SSD 285 Mb/sec read-275Mb/sec write
Score on the test:
Practical findings:
- Windows startup time became much faster. From about 1 minute with the original configuration to approx 15 second with the new configuration
- A complete Windows7 64 bit install took about 20 minutes
- Installation of software and applications goes incredible fast
- Opening from applications which are loaded in your startup open instantaneous, other applications open much faster as well.
- You don't hear the SSD working
- Capture NX2 and PS work much faster.
- TMHO the very significant performance increase of PS and NX2 is a result of the cache memory which is now located on my (very fast)C-drive(same drive as OS and programs) whereas on my former configuration I re-located the PS and NX2 cache towards another physical drive to win some speed. After modification step 1 where I changed and upgraded my RAM there wasn't much significant real world performance increase.
- Real world performance increase of my PC "feels" like more than the 76% performance increase the PassMark test indicates...
- This whole upgrade costed less than €500...
SSD is simply fantastic!

More Snow on the Way!
More snow is expected to hit the Front Range over the next couple of days. Has your board or property manager ever considered having an attorney review relevant contracts with snow-removal subcontractors? If snow removal falls to the Owners, could your community benefit from having a policy drafted regarding snow removal?

Thirty years ago, Ian Curtis, lead singer and prime mover of Joy Division throughout its short-lived existence, took his own life. i can't and won't claim to have known anything about this at the time (being a mere six years old, my own musical journey had barely begun, let alone made it as far as the emerging post-punk scene), and i continued to know nothing of Joy Division until around 1982, when the combination of buying the 12″ vinyl of "Blue Monday" (on a whim; i liked the artwork) and my growing fondness for the more gothic end of the growing indie scene made me conscious of Joy Division's significance. Undoubtedly worthy albums, Unknown Pleasures and the posthumous Closer only begin to hint at where the band might have gone next; whether it would have led down the same path as that taken by New Order is impossible to guess. The death of a celebrity interests people for all the wrong reasons; what matters is that Curtis was a fascinating creative individual, whose talents as a singer and a lyricist had only just begun to reach fruition. It seems entirely appropriate, therefore, to dedicate this new mixtape – focusing on male vocalists – to Ian Curtis' memory. Read more

Mixtape #5 : Beats
If music was my first love, then my fascination with rhythm was the first part of that attraction; beat-driven music—particularly early hip-hop and electro—dominated my earliest teenage years. My taste in beats has evolved since that time, of course, and the selection represented here (which may well come as little surprise to regular readers) is a selection of relatively recent music. Each of them has something distinctive, something that separates it from the terrible plethora of dance music that predominates the current musical landscape (at least, the popular landscape); each of them, too, is in my opinion one of the very best tracks by that artist.

The transformation of the area of tarmac and dark empty undercrofts brings fifteen two bedroom flats and two five bedroom family houses to the empty ground level of existing first floor flats. They all now have better insulation, level access and a more attractive safer busy mews to look out on. The proportion of the houses offered for sale, to assist with funding the social housing, have all been snapped up.
|Vulcan Way before the development
|Vulcan Way following the development
These schemes on marginal land not only provide new housing on sites previously 'unseen' and not regarded as potential development sites, but are also an opportunity to design out anonymous areas that attract anti-social behaviour. This results in the neighbourhood being happy to welcome new dwellings and more activity.

Has anyone decided to move house on a BOI tracker mortgage ? There is a catch of only keeping the tracker on the old portion of the mortgage for 5yrs.
Yes we moved with boi. Up until about 3 years ago you could keep the tracker for the term of the mortgage but they changed it and now it's tracker plus 1 percent for 5 years only. Check if they are doing the cashback offer because if you are taking out any extra mortgage then you can get that.
were in process of moving but with aib tracker. We can keep it for remaining life of the mortgage but with extra 1%
Even if they only offered it for the remaining term if your current mortgage and then you revert to a variable/fixed mortgage it'd be fine but it's so hard to justify leaving the deal we have.
Of course it's legal. They don't have to offer a tracker switcher at all. Just a shame that they have this restriction as I think a lot of people would move if they could transfer the remaining amount for the remaining period (& 1%)
Is it legal for them to do it ?? Stillhopeful we are the same, giving the tracker up in 5yrs would be financially a bad move i think. I know the ECB is meant to start to rise so probably might be better waiting to see what happens...but i love the house i want to move to
Yes it's unfair. BOI are the only bank to have this 5 year restriction and showing no sign of changing this
No experience but in a similar situation. We have found a house by accident that meets all our wants and desires in a house(that we can afford) and because our mortgage company don't allow you to port your mortgage we feel it'd be a huge mistake to let our tracker mortgage go.

The International Diabetes Youth Ambassador (IDYA) group of CWD received a very exciting invitation to travel to Italy in March! The group that is participating - 18 IDYAs and their parents - is planning to spend several days in Cremona and Milan with host families, then travel to Montecatini, which is the site of the 2004 International Diabetes Exercise and Sports Association conference. The IDYA teens have been invited to play a series of soccer matches with Italian IDYA teens, culminating in an international match during the DESA conference.
Dr. Andrea Scaramuzza, a member of the CWD DTeam, spearheaded this effort to bring the IDYAs from different countries together. He emphasizes the cultural sharing aspect of the gathering as much as the focus on exercise and soccer. Dr. Scaramuzza hosts frequent gatherings (camps) of teens in Italy, and he brings his expertise to our spring event! The IDYAs traveling to Italy come from the United States, Canada, and Colombia.
The following is a rough itinerary of our trip. We plan to post lots of photos as well as a day by day diary and comments from our teen and family participants after the trip. Follow along with us!
Many thanks to IDYA corporate sponsor, Novo Nordisk, for sponsoring the uniforms for this event. Our thanks also to Lloyd's Soccer Sports for providing assistance with uniforms, t-shirts, and coach's gear!
March 24, 2004 The IDYA group will arrive in Milan after an overnight flight. We will travel to Cremona, about an hour and a half away, and meet with our new Italian friends. We will spend the afternoon getting to know our host families and relaxing a bit. In the evening, we will have Welcome Party!
March 25, 2004 Today will be spent in Cremona, exploring this city which was founded as a Roman colony in 218 B.C. We will visit the monuments of Cremona, including the Duomo (Cathedral), Battistero, Loggia dei Militi, palazzo Comunale, Hall of Violins, and Piazza del Comune. We will also visit a violin maker shop, as Cremona is considered the city which gave birth to the greatest violin-makers of all time (Stradivari worked from Cremona). We'll all lunch together, then spend the afternoon at an art exhibit entitled "Pittori della realta" (Painters of the Reality). This is an exhibition that will be at the Metropolitan Museum of New York in May. It features paintings by Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio. After the exhibit, we will take some 'down time' to go shopping and perhaps find a cappuccino! That evening, the IDYAs will be received officially by the Mayor of Cremona. This will be followed by a classical concert of piano and violin played by Italian youngsters ages 7-15).
March 26, 2004 We will spend the day in Milan! In the morning, we will visit the most prominent monuments, including the cathedral and castle. We will lunch together, and then spend the afternoon playing soccer with a group from Milan. Also in the afternoon, Jeff Hitchcock, Laura Billetdeaux, and Dr. Scaramuzza will be guests on Radio 24, which is a news radio program covering all of Italy. We will then be formally welcomed by the Mayor of Milan and several other dignitaries. In the evening, we will travel back to Cremona, dine with our host families, and get to bed early!
March 27, 2004 Today, we will move by bus to Montecatini, which is the site of the international DESA conference. We will stop in Florence for a quick visit to some of the more famous monuments. After lunch, we will head to Montecatini, which is in Tuscany. Some of our teens will also participate in a relay race from Florence to Montecatini - this coincides with the opening of the DESA conference. That evening, we will attend the first session of the conference (which will be translated simultaneously in English), and we will have the opportunity to meet some famous athletes with diabetes.
March 28, 2004 This is a training day for our teens, with lots of opportunities to play soccer, swim, bicycle, play tennis… whatever piques your interest and helps your training! CWD will have Coach Jim Stroud and Athletic Trainer Rick Philbin on hand to help all of the teens work on their soccer skills and discuss how best to manage their diabetes during the rigorous sports activities!
March 29, 2004 In the morning, we will go sight-seeing in some very famous, historical areas of Tuscany, Siena and/or Pistoia. In the afternoon, we will play our official soccer match of the conference! Many thanks to Novo Nordisk for sponsoring our very cool team uniforms! In the evening, we will attend the official gala dinner of the conference, which will include a medieval show, as well as the Athlete of the Year award presentation sponsored by LifeScan and DESA.
March 30, 2004 We will attend Dr. Scaramuzza's conference session about diabetes and exercise in young people. Then we will head to Rome for a day of sight-seeing! We will spend the night in Rome
March 31, 2004 Our trip is over and we will have some extraordinary memories (and photos) to share with all of you! Stay tuned!

A lost and obscure synth-pop album from the early 80s, and it could well qualify as a "lost classic" by the quality of the songs and music. Take the title track, it might start with a rather insipid percussive rattle but soon serves us sizzling synth tones and an urgent (by early 80s standards anyway) melody with a great chorus. "In heaven" also shows a keen ear for a glorious yet fragile synth laden melody.
"Where do we go from here" has a very strong pop melody and is a true highlight of the album. Its the kind of song that puts a real smile on your face, especially the dinky electronic tangent the song heads into towards the end. Truth be told you can see why the album didn't propel White Door into the synth pop aristocracy, it lacks the edge and energy of other bands of the time though the somewhat delicate and ethereal feel of the album sounds more up-to-date for ears of today than some of their contemporaries. So they played the real long game and won.

Summer Shade and Blueberries
July 22, 2011
I've been working on another custom lamp shade. This one is for a nursery and specific colors were requested: orange, turquoise and indigo. After I printed the colors I laid out the fabrics and played around with placement:
Then I adhered the fabric to the lamp shade backing(called styrene) making some changes as I went:
I'm pleased with the final shade and like the limited color palette of the shade since I often feel like throwing every color I have into a lamp shade:
Took a day in between this process to spend some time in Wisconsin picking these beautiful blueberries:

Title's a bit misleading. Sorry about that. I was just wondering where this picture came from. I was looking through Carley's gallery and then I see this picture:
I've honestly never noticed this. What do you guys think? I believe it's a texture but I have no confirmation. If any of you have the ability to look through the textures for Episode 3 then let me know the results.

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are in week four of the VH1 LeAnn & Eddie press tour.
They worked hard promoting the pilot and weeks in they're still giving exclusive tabloid interviews. This time, a more PR-friendly one as the Life & Style story led to a backlash.
"People are always wanting to make it a story of me being a homewrecker and trying to take someone's kids," LeAnn says, sounding defensive of her affair, in PEOPLE Magazine. "They take the love I have for my family and twist it around in some weird, sick way."
"The biggest global misconception would be that we're not two people who are really in love with each other, that there are ulterior motives to our relationship," adds Eddie. "But people just don't get it. Hopefully people will get a chance to see how we just click."
Here's video of the reality stars playing the newlyweds game to see how "compatible" they are.
And here's another interview, this time from HollywoodTodayLive.
In other news, a tipster tells the tabloids this week, Eddie wants LeAnn to stop getting tattoos. "Eddie thinks its low-class."
Previously, Eddie insisted the couple were not "taking shots" at his first wife Brandi Glanville. On the next leg of their press tour, however, LeAnn passive-aggressively asserted that she's the "real" housewife and homemaker after commandeering Brandi's home.

99Points James Halliday
98 Huon Hooke
97 Points Campbell Mattinson
Australia's most famous single-vineyard wine, Henschke Hill of Grace 2012 was awarded the hotly contested 'Wine of the Year' and 'Best Shiraz' titles at the fifth annual Qantas epiQure Halliday Wine Companion Awards ceremony, held on Wednesday night, 2 August in Melbourne.
Fifth-generation winemaker, Stephen Henschke was thrilled with the result after only launching the exceptional 2012 vintage of Hill of Grace Shiraz on 1 May 2017.
"It is an absolute honour to receive these accolades. Hill of Grace vineyard is a special site. The vineyard is only made up of 4 hectares of shiraz ranging from 70 to over 150 year old vines. The wine really is history in the bottle," said Stephen.
This award acknowledges Stephen's pioneer ancestor Nicolaus Stanitzki who planted the vineyard in 1860 and his father Cyril, a pioneer of single-vineyard table wines, who produced the first vintage of Henschke Hill of Grace in 1958 when those original vines were already almost 100 years old.
Henschke Hill of Grace is the most celebrated of the wines crafted by Stephen and Prue Henschke.
Every vintage from the revered single-vineyard Hill of Grace is a limited release, but some are more limited than others. Just one barrel was produced in 2003 with extremely tiny vintages for 2013 and 2014. There was no Henschke Hill of Grace made in 1960, 1974, 2000 and 2011.
"It's been worth the wait, and then some, for this is a flawless Hill of Grace. It's an old cliche, but it's unavoidable: it is the ultimate iron fist in a velvet glove. While the fruit remains supreme, there are savoury tannins to support the 50-year cellaring potential of the wine. It is bottled under screwcap, not the elegant Vino-Lok of past vintages, because you want the most secure closure for ultra-long cellaring. The wine? Perfect colour, fragrant dark cherry/berry aromas and flavours, positive tannin and French oak support, great aftertaste." – 99 Points & Wine of the Year James Halliday
"Gravitas. Depth of fruit. Lift, life and spice but a weightiness, an aristocratic presence. Hill of Grace Shiraz has a special place in Australian wine life but this is a particularly special release. There are myriad flavours and aromas on offer here. It's entrancing. Fennel, blackberry, violets, ground spice, a lick of soy, flickers of light, purrs of dark. A rumble of firm, integrated, robust tannin. This is a great one." – 97 Points Campbell Mattinson
"Deep, dark red with a good tint of purple and a classic Hill of Grace bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, blueberry and dried herbs, with the trademark hint of mulberry jam and a little forest floor. The palate is powerful, intense, concentrated, with more smoky oak than Hill of Roses, but it's been subtly handled. Remarkably supple, fine-grained tannins, gorgeous texture, tremendous length. There is great profundity but also elegance. A very stylish wine. It's at a far remove from the blockbuster Barossa style. A totally authentic vineyard wine: it could not be anything but Hill of Grace. As a new release Hill of Grace, this is as good a vintage as I've ever tasted. I suspect it will rate 99 points when mature" – 98 Points Huon Hooke

Anthony Joshua's emergence as the unified World Heavyweight Champion set the world on fire. Not only because of the uppercut which marked the end of an era for Wladimir Klitschko, that include though, but also the beginning of a new one for the young British Nigerian. And that phrase of a prefix before his name: "British Nigerian" became a bone of contention for everyone involved in this claim as to who Anthony Joshua really belongs to.
One of the top social media influencer Pa Ikhide claimed Anthony Joshua to be his kindred from Edo State, Mid-Western Nigeria. Never to be outdone, as every physical attribute Anthony Joshua can boast of illustrates my lineage, I proclaimed to everyone who cared to listen that Anthony Joshua is from Abiriba, my hometown in Abia State, South Eastern Nigeria. Trust my Yoruba friends did not fail to remind us all of his other names "Oluwafemi Olaseni" meaning he is a full fledged Yoruba.
But this is all the premise to an ever present problem for us. Shortly after he won the fight, news broke out about how Anthony Joshua was rejected by the Nigerian Boxing Federation. That was how we missed out on a potential world heavyweight champion who the world has confirmed now to be the next biggest thing to perhaps even the greatest Mohammed Ali, albeit hastily. But you cannot begrudge us the foray of excitements nah. Can you?
Concurrently, questions flowed:
how could we make such a grave mistake? Who allows such a massive potential to slip through their fingers?
Those chains of thought do not in any way interest me. We already know Nigeria allows such potentials get past us because we never think beyond the next National or International competition. We never worry about the crop of players or teams coming through the ranks for the next 5 or 10 years. We are always more interested in the already-made product who will conquer the world for us and that's that.
So, my chain of questions are thus:
Did Nigeria do enough to show that we were interested in the services of those who chose other Nations instead of us? Did Nigeria appreciate their immense talents and/or tried to make them see us as the viable alternative, equal or perhaps even better than their adopted countries? Well, your answer is relative. This is because, a perfect platform for their talents to thrive depends on so many factors such as organisation within the respective bodies and ministries, transparency in operations, stability in leadership etc.
For instance, how do you convince a Bamidele "Dele" Ali that a Minister of Youth and Sports like Solomon Dalung wouldn't be a joke, jeopardising his chances of winning, sorry, competing in a continental or global competition, with his incessant myopic utterances? Or with the off and on tussles going on in the NFF that Amaju Pinnick would be very effective in discharging his duties? How would you convince a David Alaba, multiple National and Continental champion with German Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, to stick with Nigeria while ignoring a promising, talented, tight team like the Austrian National team?
Just for emphasis, I scoured through the internet for hours, searching for the official website of the Nigerian Boxing Federation so as to know the current NBF president. I found none. In fact, what looks like the official Facebook page of NBF has just 144 followers!
A major eternal issue plaguing our mode of operation is foresight.
Those in positions of influence rarely have the foresight to see emerging talents, or even have the wherewithal to approach and blend them in a team that will be able to achieve well-defined objectives. Nigeria is so good at claiming finished products. Like we say in Nigeria, those in authority usually wait for someone to "Blow", then the claim for affinity and urge for patriotism and serving father land becomes the topic for the day. I bet the news already got to you that Ogun State government plans to visit him in London to "honour him." We are like that. Don't be surprised when your social media time lines start getting bombarded with stories of those who want to trek to London to pay him courtesy visits. We are Nigerians. We are like that.
That though would be understandable and pardonable, but only if most Nations didn't have to wait for such times, and would have already capped those emerging talents before the prefixes to their names such as: "Nigerian born British", "British Nigerian", "of Nigerian descent", "Born to a Nigerian father and a 'western' (pick any western nation of your choice) mother" etc
In football alone, we have household names like Sidney Sam (Parent Club, Schalke 04 & Germany) Ross Barkley (Everton FC & England), Chinedum "Nedum" Onuoha (QPR & England), Ikechi Anya (Derby County & Scotland) , the aforementioned Dele Ali (Tottenham Spurs & England) to mention a few who dumped us for other nations. There are so many professional sportsmen and women in other categories of Sports who have traded places for their adopted nations of choice. Same goes for other areas of human interest: Politics, Health, Art, Sciences, Medicine, Engineering etc.
We keep losing our best brains as well as brawn to other nations.
When we do not monitor the progress of these young bloods; when we do not engage them in seeing how viable and better it will be to represent us; when we do not even know who they are until they are full-fledged internationals, it becomes a problem.
Would we have been better off with these stars in their respective fields representing us rather than their adopted nations?
Again, your answer is relative and if you were guessing, your guesses would be just as good as mine.
Until Nigeria starts capping these potentials at their earliest flirtations with greatness, let me manage my Abiriba Anthony Joshua for now joor.
Eleanya Ndukwe Jr.

I booked my plane ticket today. The plan is to fly to Philadelphia on February 5th (Super Bowl Sunday!), attend staging/orientation the next day, bus over to NY, then fly over to Ghana! Since I'm flying to Philly from the west coast I had no choice but to fly over on Sunday, the day before staging starts. Unfortunately, this will mean that I will most likely miss the Super Bowl.
So far the only bad thing about going to Ghana is that it sounds similar to so many other countries…I'm constantly reminding people that I'm going to Ghana, not Gambia, Grenada, or Guinea. In fact, when I called to book my plane ticket the lady on the phone wanted to send me to Guyana's staging event, which takes place the week before Ghana's.

It is true that any smoke or product of combustion potentially contains carcinogens or other products that are harmful to the lungs and body if inhales.
Some studies may suggest a relationship between cannabis smoke and precancerous cellular changes. However, a review of the medical literature does not conclude a clear causal link between cannabis smoke and an increase in cancer occurrence in humans. Although in general, it is always healthier to avoid the inhalation of smoke and combustion products.
A vaporizer can be sued as an alternative to smoking in order to reduce potential risk from smoke, combustion products and heat. Some in the medical community believe repetitive heat delivery to the air passages and lungs may affect lung elasticity and overall, long-term performance. Risk may be reduced by decreasing the temperature of inhaled smoke or using alternative methods of dosing. Employing a water pipe decreases the temperature of smoke. However, it has been shown that water pipes are potential vehicles to spread illnesses, such as viruses and even tuberculosis and should be kept clean and sanitized. Alternatives to smoking include vaporization, as well as edible dose delivery in capsules, foods or teas. Transdermal delivery through the skin such as in creams and oils, salves, balms, infusions, poultices, soaps, etc. are also effective.
Cannabis is a psychoactive substance, as it is capable of producing profound changes to a person's mental-emotional state. This is one of the reasons that cannabis is effective at producing a powerful sense of well-being.
The mental-emotional state of a person is very complex and constantly seeking a state of balance. The ingestion of any psychoactive substance has the potential of temporarily upsetting the balance and inducing symptoms such as anger, sadness, anxiety, depression, paranoia, panic attacks, and lack of motivation. Individuals predisposed to mental-emotional illness or suffering from mental-emotional illness such as schizophrenia, may be of higher risk to cannabis induced mental-emotional imbalances.
Most importantly, one must understand that any time a person ingests a psychoactive substance, there is a risk they may not feel the way they had intended, especially as a result of the ingestion of larger doses. Above all, it should be again noted that no one has ever physically overdosed from cannabis, and if any mental-emotional discomfort or anxiety occurs, it will resolve within hours as the medication metabolizes.
Always make sure you are in a safe environment before beginning the ingestion of cannabis or changing dosage. Cannabis use does not result in physical dependence, nor does discontinuing use lead to serious physical withdrawal symptoms in most patients. However, as a psychoactive substance, the potential risk for psychological dependence does exist. As a psychoactive substance, cannabis may affect a person's decision making and physical coordination. Therefore, no one should operate heavy equipment or motor vehicles while impaired due to the influence of cannabis or any other substance. Cannabis metabolites can remain in one's system for up to 30 days, therefore, patients should be aware that they may test positive for cannabis even when not impaired.
The legal and social status of cannabis may be the greatest risk proposed by cannabis usage. Cannabis is still considered illegal by the United States Federal Government, and as a result there is the potential for prosecution and punishment.

Texas Longhorns Odds to win the College Football National Championship with Expert Betting Predictions
Tom Herman is the latest coaching genius. He has been in charge of a team for just two years, but he worked some miracles in Houston - both on the field and in recruiting - and he now has the keys to one of the iconic programs in the country. Can he prove that he is up to the immense challenge, or will he join the scrap heap of other geniuses to rise further and faster than they can deliver on? The good news for him is that the shoes he is filling left behind by Charlie Strong aren't exactly big. Herman could be just mediocre for the Texas Longhorns and he'd be lauded as a hero is comparison.

2016 in a Nutshell
Strong changed much of his coaching staff last year in a last grasp at relevance, but it wasn't enough. The team was simply bad, and they gave up as they realized the obvious - this wasn't going to get better, and the coach was a dead man walking. Things started out well with a double-overtime win over a Notre Dame team ranked No. 10 at the time. Unfortunately, we didn't know just how bad Notre Dame was, so the game was given more significance than it deserved. Texas went from unranked all the way to No. 11, and they stayed there after beating UTEP. Then reality slapped them hard in the face. They lost at Cal and Oklahoma State and then to Oklahoma. They beat Iowa State but then lost again at Kansas State. They showed a bit of pride beating a Baylor team ranked eighth at the time and then won again at Texas Tech. That lifted them to 5-4, and a bowl game seemed at least possible. But they didn't win again. West Virginia beat them. They did the seemingly impossible and lost to Kansas. And then they didn't even try in their finale against TCU. A record of 5-7 is an easy way to get a coach fired - especially when the coach should have been fired a year sooner.
Key Additions and Departures
The good news for Herman is that he hasn't lost much. QB Shane Buechele is back, and he has real upside. The line has real depth. Running back D'Onta Foreman was the lone drafted Longhorn last year, but they have options to replace him. And last year's top three receivers are back - though they hardly lit the world on fire last year. That's a lot to work with. The biggest concern, though, is at offensive coordinator. Major Applewhite did a great job in the role in Houston, but he is the head man there now. In his place Herman brought in Tim Beck from Ohio State. It's not just because I'm a Michigan fan that I think Beck is far from good. Tears were not spilled in Columbus when he left, and I'm not sure he is what Herman needs.
On defense the story is similar. They return huge numbers of players in all three phases of the defense. The unit was pretty terrible last year, but they were really young, and will be much better coached this year.
Herman got a late start on recruiting, and Strong obviously wasn't able to do too much because everyone knew he was doomed. That has led to a recruiting class that fell outside of the Top 25. That won't happen again for Herman.
Texas Longhorns Schedule Analysis
The schedule could certainly be worse for Herman. He is likely to open with four wins in the first six, though the two losses at USC and against Oklahoma are likely to be fairly decisive. If he were to pull off an upset in either, though, fans would start building statues for him. Oklahoma State at home is next, which is going to be a tough game, but Texas could shock them if Herman is able to get things rolling. They could win at Baylor, and the game at TCU is a total coin toss. And with Kansas, West Virginia and Texas Tech to close out the season they are capable of winning their last three. Eight wins seems reasonable, and a couple more than that would not be at all impossible. Herman changed the mindset in Houston as much as anything, If he can do the same here, and if the young players develop a bit, they could be a surprise.
2017-18 Texas Longhorns Betting Odds and Trends
Texas is at +4000 to win the national title at BetOnline , which has them behind 16 other teams. That feels quite ambitious, but that's inevitable for a team as public as Texas is. The spirit of the fan base has been beaten down for a decade, so any glimmer of hope is going to cause them to go insane. At +450 they are the third choice to win the Big 12 behind heavy favorites Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. That also feels overly ambitious. And Shane Buechele is at +3300 to win the Heisman. I'll generously say that that feels like a year to soon, because it would be rude to really say what I think of that price. Oddsmakers love their chances in the opener against Maryland, though, and I can't disagree for once - they are favored by 17.5 .
2017-18 Texas Longhorns Predictions and College Football Picks
Herman was an A-plus hire, and he will get things done here. And the team will be solidly better than last year. Patience will be important, though, and people need to not panic at every setback or overreact to every win. In other words, they need to do the exact opposite of what they did during the Strong era. He'll win eight or nine games and show promise, but this is just the beginning.

once we were
|Eva Ström
[Image source: http://www.albertbonniersforlag.se/Nyheter/2013/9/18/Eva-Strom-tilldelas-Par-Lagerkvistpriset/]
Not really sure what today's post is going to be about, but anyway now's the time to mention that I'm off to Spain early tomorrow for a week.
Well, apparently it's going to be Eva Ström, since a random Google search on "Swedish poetry" brought me straight to this, one of three poems translated by Carol Berg in a Qarrtsiluni post. (The other two poems are by Johanna Ekström.)
Dödssynder åtrår ni mig ännu?
Dödssynder åtrår ni mig ännu?
Vrede vill du blomma i mig?
Vill du driva blodet till mina kinder
och få mitt hjärta att accelerera.
Avundets korta sting,
vill du träffa mig,
låta mig fåfängt få rasa
efter ett annat liv.
Jag vill känna högmodet och gå
med högmodets vadderade ncacke,
jag vill känna den beska älskogens söta sting i min kropp,
och vila en stund på smickrarnas ockersålda mattor.
Jag vill känna hur slugheten får min hjärna att arbeta
och hur omåttligheten griper tag i mig i ett vällustigt begär.
Dödssynder åtrår ni mig?
Kan ni ännu verka i mig?
Deadly Sins, Do You Still Want Me?
Deadly sins, do you still want me?
Wrath, do you want to bloom in me?
Want to drive blood into my cheek
and make my heart accelerate.
Envy, short sting
do you want to smack me,
churn in me—vain rampages
after my next lonely life.
I want to feel pride and run
with pride's stiff neck,
I want to feel the bitter sweet sting of sex in my body
and rest in the moment on flattery's shaggy carpet.
I want to feel how cunning works in my brain
and how excess grips me and touches me with desire.
Deadly sins, do you still want me?
Can you still work in me?
A poem about age and youth, then. And it is true, quite a few of the characters in the procession of Deadly Sins seem to be well adapted to a medieval condemnation of youthfulness itself: Pride, Lust, Greed and so on.
And yet, who believes that the elderly are, predominantly, better people than the young? Who thinks that human character is improved by neurotic fear and anxiety, the grasping of security that is the true meaning of Covetousness, narrowing sympathies and increasing indifference to the sufferings and trials of others, and so on.
And yet, youth is a shallow, blind, self-centred thing. If my own youth was any indication.
There is excess and desire in age. Only the objects change. Excess in the form of panic. Desire in the form of clinging to old ways of thinking, intransigence to change. The elderly do over-reaction very well. Also envy and anger.
The Sins can work in every age-group. That's the bare truth.
But then, Eva Ström is not a preacher and her poem isn't really about sins. It's really about the shrivelling of life in our lives, the dulling of response, the acceptance of mundanity, the withering of aspiration. The "shutting down" that we are sometimes accused of, that in unsparing moments we can see for ourselves.
The translator seems to have beefed up that idea with her intrusion of the word "lonely" into the middle of the poem.
A more literal translation of those lines about envy would be:
Envy's short sting,
do you want to meet me
and make me get a vain rage
for another life ....
In Ström's poem Envy has, so to speak, been reinvented as passionate dreaming. There are many Envies I suppose. My own conception of Envy is that it takes the form of a chilly dislike for those who do dream.
Eva Ström has translated Shakespeare's Sonnets into Swedish.
Translations of four Shakespeare sonnets into Swedish, with commentary.

MPEG Streamclip by Squared 5 is one of the best known video converters and despite owning powerful conversion software by Avid, Apple and Adobe, this is the one I use the most. Firstly it produces files that are universally playable and recommended by stock sites. Secondly it can convert sections of a DVD to a QT file that can be imported to Avid. Thirdly it is quick to use and the presets are logical. Finally it is very small programme that has little impact on computer resources.
|MPEG Streamclip options
Most editors know that attaching Apple formatted drives to a Windows PC just doesn't work unless you install Mediafour's Mac Drive which allows you to be totally agnostic about the drive format. But another of the company's software, Disk Aware has been the find of the year for me. Disk Aware analyses every folder and file on a drive and presents it as a list arranged in size order and also as a colour-coded wheel which shows you the relative size of the files and folders. Simply click on a segment and analyse the next layer down.
|DiskAware - The Wheel
The programme only costs $10 per computer but it can analyse any drive: internal, external, flash and even network drives. It enables easy clearing up of drives and lets you work out why all your storage has disappeared.
One tool I used for a while, dropped and have returned to is IrfanView, the strangely named freeware viewer for PCs. One of the more recent improvements is IrfanView Thumbnails which you get when you install the complete set of plugins and I place as a shortcut on the desktop. It opens up an explorer window with a light grey background to distinguish it from Windows Explorer. Open up a folder containing mixed media and almost immediately it is populated with thumbnails which can be set to many sizes, not just Window's three.
|IrfanView Thumbnails of text, video and .psd
Thumbnails are shown for videos (with filmstrip icon), stills (even Photoshop) and text. PDFs are not shown however. One of the most useful tools is the ability to save those thumbnails as separate images for putting into a spreadsheet for example. Hovering over a thumbnail reveals information about the file itself such as dimensions, although for video only the dimensions of the thumbnail itself are shown. Like most features of IrfanView they are a work in progress, but the ability to see thumbnails from both videos and Photoshop files make it worth having.
In Part 2 I look at a a couple of sound tools, a backup programme and a couple of tools for uploading and managing material at iStock and Smugmug.

Technical Questions
Q - What's the most and least crucial parts of a system ?
A - There are 3 major parts of any audio system. The first is the source. The second is amplifying it, and the third is the speakers. In between this, there are leads, components, designs and quality. But ultimately the last part of the system, is your ears. If you put rubbish in, no matter what they system is doing, you will get rubbish out. If MP3 or streaming is your source and only 20% originates from it, each improvement counts but it will never be more than 20%. No. 1 - source.
Q - If I listen to MP3 or streaming, does quality make a difference ?
A - MP3 is very rarely more than 20% of the original recording due to compression, streaming is the same, so the more you hear of what is actually still there, is even more important. High quality systems will deal with the lack of information and interpret what is there in a more accurate manner, and ultimately improve the sound for a more pleasurable experience.
Q - What speakers & source do you recommend for use with your amplifiers ?
A - This question is one of the most commonly asked questions in all high-end Hi-Fi and the answer cannot be simple. We have our preference of source devices and speakers we have tried, so to fully answer this question, our separate section (other products) is an essential read.
Q - Why does component quality count ?
A - Time has established that the quality, design and manufacture of ANYTHING determines how it performs and how long it lasts. In Hi-Fi, this is taken one stage further and adds how it sounds. No product with cost-cutted or compromised components will ever perform and last as long as any product with quality components in its construction and design criteria.
Q - Why do you use and what are the benefits of using a 350VA toroidal transformer ?
A - A 350VA transformer with a height of less than 45mm, designed by us and made by us was created for transient capability. When extreme symbols, bass and drums cannot be met as accurately, using any other power supply, as efficiently or articulately - what choice do we have?
Q - What is the compromise of using a toroidal transformer ?
A - Due to the natural properties of a traditional transformer - some physical noise can be heard close to the transformer, but never through the speakers and never intrusive enough to annoy. This is characteristic of all toroidal transformers. It is due to DC on your local supply created by switching power supplies such as those used for a mobile phone or computer. It does not effect sound quality, but can be reduced with a mains filter available from specialist Hi-Fi stores or online.

Already Dead
"Through this feeling of helplessness suddenly burst a piercing nostalgia for the lost world of childhood. The way it came right up against the heart, that world, and against the face. No indoors or outdoors, only everything touching us, and the grown-ups lumbering past overhead like constellations."

text: I came across these tracks today while making some new marten sets and was wondering if someone could help me identify them. They have been snowed on so I couldn't tell what the pad imprint looked like but I thought the pattern was different from any type of fox or coyote. They were about 3-4 inches in size, you can see how it sort of "lopes" with the four feet and it was on a frozen creek and only about 3 miles or so from the trailhead. Any Ideas?

At last, I'm up to the yoke! This is my favourite part. Though not a true Fair Isle, this design is knit in a combo of variegated yarn and the grey of the main, I love this effect.
Garnstudio aka DROPS Design, have a huge range of free patterns. Access their site online and print off the patterns to your hearts content, this site is so worth visiting often.
The needles have been working overtime for everyone at iKnit this week. Kate's 1st finished object – this is an awesome effort for a first-time knitter of 2 weeks……love the green!
Feeling the power of the addiction, Kate cast on 246 stitches for her next endeavour, a baby's cardy, knit in one piece to the arm divide. After mastering garter stitch Kate chose a pattern in stocking stitch to practice purl.
Kallie, 2 weeks and counting down before her baby is due, got to grips with yfwd to work a lace edge on her baby bolero, pattern by Snuggly in 4 ply.
Not to be mistaken for a fungal muffin, Brenda's FO, baby's hat in DK is cute as (hat's are in and sooo cool).
It takes a strong woman to have her next pattern sorted, yarn at the ready, but devoted to completing a quick fill in project. Brenda worked on a key-hole scarf for her Mum she started last week.
The FO's kept coming this week – Lindsay presented her beautiful shawl.
After washing the pattern really comes alive.
Finishing a lace knit wrap her daughter started, Lindsay is working her magic.
The mohair used by Lindsay is a gentle shade of green by Naturally, moss like.
Taking a breather and listening to the good conversation, Wendy knit on the buttonhole band of her almost completed vest.
A very productive week for all. We love knitting!

It's double Gold for our eggs!
Exe Valley Eggs have won double gold in the prestigious Taste of the WestAwards. Both our large and medium free range eggs were given the top award by the panel of industry experts that includes chefs, food writers, buyers and other food professionals. They awarded a total of just three Gold Awards for hen eggs from across the entire South West region.
"To think that out of three Gold Awards we won two of them makes us very proud indeed," says a delighted John Widdowson. "We know our eggs are outstanding but to have this confirmed by a group as prestigious and knowledgeable as the Taste of the West judges is as gratifying as it gets.
"Of course the hens deserve all the credit. All we have to do is ensure that they have the most relaxed outdoor lifestyle, the finest housing and the best quality feed seven days a week. And they do the rest."Nearly a thousand food products are entered in the annual awards and the judges evaluate each one on the basis of appearance, aroma, texture, packaging and – most significantly – taste.The double win follows a previous Gold for Exe Valley Eggs in 2013.
*Taste of the West is a unique membership organisation for food and drink producers, distributors, restaurants, cafes, pubs, hotels, farm shops and speciality retailers in the South West. It is the largest independent regional food group in the UK.

Physicochemical Hydrodynamics: An Introduction, 2nd Edition
Physicochemical Hydrodynamics: An Introduction, 2nd Edition
ISBN: 978-0-471-45830-2 May 2003 416 Pages
In Stock
DescriptionSince the first publication of the book, a surge of interest in physicochemical hydrodynamics (PCH) has produced a flurry of advances in the field, as researchers became aware of the subject's practical applications across numerous disciplines. The Second Edition of Ronald F. Probstein's Physicochemical Hydrodynamics is significantly expanded and revised to provide increased coverage of the field. All of the material was supplemented with problems for students, and a solutions manual is available for instructors. The continued demand for the book necessitates that the Second Edition be reprinted in paperback so that it may be more widely available to students and practitioners.
This highly respected book emphasizes rational theory and its consequences to demonstrate the underlying unity of PCH, which allows diverse phenomena to be described in physically and mathematically similar ways. Physicochemical Hydrodynamics communicates the fundamentals while, at the same time, conveying the importance of applications of PCH to a variety of fields, including: mechanical, chemical, and environmental engineering; materials science, biotechnology, microfluidics, and fluid aspects of nanotechnology. Numerous illustrations, analogies, and examples highlight the text and help to clarify and solidify students' and professionals' understanding of the material.
