Motorola RAZR2 V9 (AT&T)
Finally, someone's talking about a cell phone that's great for, well, talking. The Motorola RAZR2 for AT&T uses Motorola's new CrystalTalk technology to provide the best voice experience on an AT&T phone yet, and combined with great e-mail plus a stellar Web browser, it's one hard to beat handset. It's a pity though that this phone can't use AT&T's latest and most advanced media services.

Castleford Tigers came from 12-4 down to beat Huddersfield Giants 44-12 and keep the pressure on for a second place finish in the Betfred Super League.
Daryl Powell's men were in cracking form ahead of the play-offs as they earned revenge for the recent home defeat by the Giants in the regular season, scoring eight tries to two.
The visitors looked sharp early on and defended well in the first half, but were blown away in the last 20 minutes.
An entertaining first half that was not without its controversies, mistakes and some outstanding attacking play ended with Cas 16-12 up.
It was Huddersfield who started the sharper and were awarded a highly dodgy first try in the second minute.
Adam O'Brien darted to the line and tried to get the ball down in a pile of bodies. Referee Ben Thaler signalled try and video referee Phil Bentham backed him up despite none of the countless replays showing that the ball was ever grounded over the line.
A good argument for the current video referee system it was not, but the upshot was a try and Danny Brough's goal put the visitors 6-0 ahead.
The Tigers response was great and after a strong set they put their first points on the board as they ran the ball on the last tackle and Paul McShane's final pass sent Greg Eden diving over.
McShane, on kicking duties with Luke Gale and Jamie Ellis both missing, was unable to add the conversion from wide out.
Another good move down the left swiftly followed before Michael Shenton lost the ball trying to get a pass away under pressure close to the line.
The fast start continued as Huddersfield came close to a second try. Jake Wardle broke down the left and passed out to winger Innes Senior who looked set to score only for a brilliant tap tackle by James Clare to deny him.
Jake Webster was held up over the line with Thaler this time not asking the video referee to have a look. In the same set Liam Watts was held on the line on the last tackle.
On 20 minutes the Giants were back on the attack and scoring as Lee Gaskell shrugged off two tacklers to burst through for a try goaled by Brough.
Cas then turned up the heat as Ben Roberts' kick forced a drop-out and Jake Webster dived over for a try following a superb offload by Mike McMeeken.
More pressure followed, backed by several home penalties. Two Roberts kicks forced further drop-outs and Watts was held up over the line.
It looked like the Giants defence had cracked when Junior Moors barged over from close range. The ball came loose and Jake Mamo raced away for what he thought was a try for Huddersfield only to be brought back as the referee signalled a try for Cas.
The video referee ruled no try, but the Tigers were given a penalty for a ball steal and from the next set there was no stopping Moors this time as he powerfully got the ball down for a try converted by McShane to make it 16-12.
Huddersfield had the better of the start to the second half with Jordan Turner held up over the line and good defence needed by Clare to prevent Senior from getting in down the visitors' left
But the Tigers then took control, gradually turning the screw with clever kicks by Trueman keeping the Giants penned in on their own line.
The crucial try came on 58 minutes when Peter Mata'utia's long pass gave Clare a chance to attack the Giants line and he grabbed it with a strong finish. McShane added the touchline goal and the hosts had breathing space with a 10-point lead.
McMeeken added to the advantage with a spin in the tackle and another powerful finish with McShane again goaling.
Trueman's grubber led to another goal-line drop-out and the Giants defence cracked again as Moors took Grant Millington's offload to power over..
McShane again converted and three minutes later he was on target from the touchline after Mata'utia had completed a good handling move from a scrum for yet another score.
There was still time for one more try as Millington showed determination to score his first of the season, diving on Trueman's well judged grubber kick over the line.
The soon to be departing Webster had a go at goal, but was unsuccessful, leaving the final score at 44-12 and a job well done by the impressive Tigers, who were tested before they produced their irresistible rugby.
Scorers - Castleford: Tries Eden, Webster, Moors 2, Clare, McMeeken, Mata'utia, Millington; goals McShane 6. Huddersfield: Tries O'Brien, Gaskell; goals Brough 2.

The Redskins must have a thing for giving Jacksons a second chance this week
The team announced they had re-signed outside linebacker Rob Jackson Friday afternoon.
He had 2.0 sacks for them last year, after returning from a four-game suspension.
He's been a serviceable edge rusher in the past (4.5 sacks in 2012), and he gives them some experienced depth behind Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo.

Quote from pcmike:
FYI.. here is the Official Apple Hard Drive Replacement Manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MBPR...
Also, its a PH #00 screwdriver, not a #0. You also don't need to disconnect the power to replace the hard drive. I wish I would had known the screwdriver was in fact #00.. glad I took it easy on the &!&$ screws.
Thanks for the link that is really useful. But why do Apple forget (again) to say you need a T6 Torx for the guide screws on the drive?

If you run design processes, surely, each of the steps that you take will affect the outcome of the product. For the products that are being designed and manufactured to be of high quality, you have to assure that the design process is carried out accurately. One of the best things that you can do is to make use of simulation technology when it comes to solid works.
If you are interested in getting the best out of Solidworks simulation to your business, here are some of the most important things that you need to know:
How Will Simulation Improve the Design Process?
Before you invest in a simulation technology, you will surely want to find out about how it will improve the quality of the design process. From the very early stages of the manufacturing process and o the end, simulation technology is needed. When this technology is being used, the engineers and the designer will have the right tools and the right hardware in order to make high quality designs without hassle. The products that are designed in this manner will be of lower cost yet higher quality. With the help of solid works FEA, the quality of the product development will be increased.
What are the Positive Influences of Simulation Technology?
Of course, you have to focus on the positive influences that you can gain when you use this technology. With this, it will be much easier for you to make the right corrections to and when a designer is using this tool, he or she will be sure that they have made the right choices with them in the design process. When you take an approach to using this tool, the days of getting on with a time consuming and an expensive design process will be over.
How to Bring about a Successful Outcome?
In order to bring about a successful outcome from the design and the manufacturing process, you have to make sure that you make the right chances to it. Without these needed changes from the business, it will be tough to bring about the finest. If you are taking a step into using the simulation technology, you have to make sure that it is given the fullest support from the management of the business. That is not all, when it comes to design measures, it has to be realistic. Before getting on with the project, it is essential that you look into validating the decisions so that there will be no hassle during the project and after.

Solo Build It Com the home of SBI from Ken Envoy
If you are a business owner who is just tired of not getting business on the web them you've come to the right place.
I've used the system built by Dr Ken Envoy called SBI for nearly 10 years now. The system - not just a web site - but a fully fledged proven system for building online income, leads and brands.
Not only have I used it myself to build a wedding site (OK my wife built that one), a TV site, a site about retirement that sold my book and this site. I've also built sites for other business owners that pull in millions of dollars online year in year out from the lists of clients that their sites have built.
So if you are a business owner who wants to get it. Even if you build your own site and totally mess up. You would have learnt everything you need to know about what you need to be successful. By just investing in the SBI system and following the red carpet of easy to follow steps.
Go deeeper if you want but just learning and doing the simple things will put you in the top 3%.
In fact my best clients are the ones who have done that. They've learnt what then need but not built a brilliant site. For me that means they value what I know and they understand want is needed from them in terms of time and money.
How much does it all cost I hear you ask, well less than you would think. Less than $30 a month for a list of things so long that I'm not going to write them hear but would encourage you to listen to the man himself, Ken Envoy talk about them.

Beckley from Stanton St. John
This trail explores the countryside and Beckley village to the north of Stanton St. John. On route you will pass the stately house of Woodperry and follow a small section of the Oxfordshire Way long distance path with its fine views across the surrounding flood plain.
- Walk
- 5.7 miles / 9.1 kms
- 259 feet / 79 metres
- Add to Basket
- Walk and Cycle
- 11 Sep 2010
The trail starts at The Talkhouse Inn on the south east corner of the village.
• Walk up Middle Road past the village shop to the church.
• From the church turn left into Pound Lane. After passing Rectory Farm and immediately after Snows Lane take the footpath on the right past the allotments. Follow the track to Woodperry Farm buildings. Turn onto the gravel track passing Woodperry House to reach the unnamed road.
• Turn right and then after 50 metres turn left into Woodperry Road. Follow this lane for approx 1km past houses. At the end turn right into Roman Way. At Beckley High Street turn left for the village church. After visiting the church retrace your steps.
• Turn right, joining the Oxfordshire Way footpath. At the end of the High Street the path ascends the hill between two hedgerows at first before opening out into an open field. There are fine views at this point across the flood plain.
• The path bears right to a tree-line and then left past a pond on your right to a track. Cross over the track and continue over the open fields. Just before reaching Seven Acres Farm bear right to reach the unnamed road that was crossed earlier at Woodperry.
• Crossover the road and bear right keeping the hedgerow on your left before heading south to the corner of Stanton Little Wood. At the far side of the wood turn right and walk down the edge of the wood. Turn left and then right when you reach a stream. Follow the stream before heading south towards the corner of Holly Wood.
• Keep to the side of the wood and continue south to eventually reach Mill St. Turn right along the lane and left onto a footpath. The path follows the hedge on the right. At the end of the hedge bear left across the open field to reach Hillcraft Road. At the end of the road turn left into Middle Road and return to The Talkhouse Inn.

jacobroufa wrote:First commit to this project on GitHub... I'll have some more updates/activity on this soon.
On my TODO list:
- second LED to display active status, as well as blink separately for activate/deactivate and loop clear
- variable measure length
The former of these is straightforward. I will get to that pretty quickly. It'll be a pain in the butt with the current revision because once the hardware is installed adding another LED is kinda tricky, but the next box I build will be a bit smoother in that regard I think. I've learned a lot building this!
The second item though is a sticky wicket... So currently it's four beats per measure, statically. I could simplify things and just make one beat a "measure" and then any synced loop could be a multiple of that. The only reason I'm really hesitant to do that is when I am playing I feel like one measure would not be enough lead time if I want to queue up more than one looper, ya know? So that means variability.. From 1-99 could be accomplished with a two-digit display and a rotary encoder. Is that too much though? Also, not really foot-friendly. So, what about a 7 step potentiometer and have 2-8 beats per measure selectable? Also not foot friendly but maybe a bit more "normal" for like traditional pedal standards. The only other thing I can think of is a second foot button to cycle through different settings, and then another way to display that.
Does anyone have any input on that? I'm definitely curious to hear people's thoughts!

I will just build the cable from scratch (bonus I'll gain some new skills).
I know my sheild is:

I cannot figure out where in Calde's sketch the pins are defined
coolbeans wrote:It works! I was so happy when that little jamman sync light turned on! It syncs great with the Roland, not so much with the microkorg but that is probably because there is no start stop button, no problem just means the roland will be master.
Now that I know about rx and tx being like default, that makes way more sense reading the code.
Thanks again!

The statistics are in: April 2012
Good Monday Morning!
It looks like the sun has given way to clouds and rain for a few days. The 17 days without rain that we just experienced was the longest dry spell in May in over 20 years for Eugene and Springfield! It was very welcome!
The statistics are in for April Real Estate Action in the Eugene and Springfield market areas. The numbers indicate that we still have a ways to go before the market here is in a true recovery mode. New listings were up in April and they increased by 11.3% over April of 2011 and were up a whopping 25.5% over March of this year. Pending sales were also up over April of last year. They improved by 10.7% over April of 2011 and were also up by 9.6% over last month. A negative statistic was that closed home sales were off by 2.1% from April of 2011 and down 4.4% from April of this year. This is not a good trend to be seeing as we head into Summer. There is currently 6.9 months of active inventory of homes for sale. This is also up from 6.3 months that we had in March of this year. The average sales price in April was $184,600, which is down considerably from April of 2011 when it was $207,900. This indicates that our slide in home values may be far from over. The average time it took for a home to sell in April was 156 days.
We can all hope that the step back that took place in April was just a blip in the market and not a long term trend. We will know more by next month.
Have An Awesome Week!

The idea behind the test shows nicely how all the topics of the No Impact Week are interconnected: consumption, waste, transport and food are not only all directly causing a lot of energy consumption but are also high on water waste.

In Stockholm the 2011 edition of the World Water Week just came to an end. After the week long of talking, it is to hope that actions will follow.
The World Water Week is hosted by the Stockholm International Water Institute. It brings together experts and leaders from the water sector to discuss and find solutions. This year's edition was running under the title Continue reading
Two Women. Two pairs of skies. Five of the highest mountains of South America. And access to drinking water for thousands of people.
Two Swiss ski instructors take their love for nature as inspiration to take up the ultimate challenge: They will climb five mountains in South America of which the highest (Illimani in Bolivia) is 6435m in order to give a better living to people on the continent. Continue reading
How much water do you use every day? If you do not know, make a quick test provided by National Geographic and find out.
The water footprint calculator is part of the Freshwater Initiative which aims to preserve the fresh water reserves we still have on the planet.
According to the test, I use 4194 litres of water a day. In spite of scoring much lower than average, the result is rather shocking. Another test by waterfrootprint.org estimates I use 1295 litres per day, which still seems a lot. Just to make sure, I also did a third test. Waterfootprintkemira.com says my daily use is around 3300 litres per day.
How come I can use that much by myself? The answer is that Continue reading
Let's be honest: there are no unlimited resources of water. So we better keep the bit we have clean, right?
Greenpeace just launched a campaign to save water. The pollution of rivers, lakes and the sea has reached incredible levels and is influencing the health of people, animals and plants all over the world.
Especially water pollution by the different industries is not acceptable. They add tons and tons of heavy metals, solvents, toxic sludge and other waste into our waters. Continue reading
The story of water is much more than just what you drink every day. But because you DO drink it every day, it is worth thinking about. Today: the water industry.
There are definitely some people out there who can explain the problem with water better than me, so please give this smart lady 8 minutes of your life: Continue reading

Real Estate and Neighbourhood:
For current listings in and around the Parkdale area; Click here.
Parkdale's boundaries are different depending on which source you chose to read. As some neighbourhoods in Toronto are not clear and distinct in terms of boundaries, one has to allow leeway for differing opinions. Mine is based on the Toronto Star's determination of Parkdale's neighbourhood boundaries. Here is a google map to help you visualise the area.
Originally in the earlier to mid part of the 1900's, Parkdale was a high income neighbourhood with direct access to the Lakeshore. However this all changed when the Gardiner Expressway was built and between 1955 and the 1970's most of the higher income residents moved out. Access to the lakeshore was also reduced due to the Gardiner. The demographics in the neighbourhood changed very quickly and many of the grand Victorian mansions were turned into rooming houses or split up into multi unit homes. Spencer Avenue and Jameson Avenue have many high rise condo apartment towers. Today, the demographics are quiet diverse. Younger families have moved back into the area and many artists have flocked to the area as well. There are many outreach centers for people as well such as the Parkdale Association and Recreation Centre.
Much of the housing in the area comprise of the large grand mansions, which were left by many of the residents in the 1960's, and although many have fallen into disrepair, this allows many opportunities for buyers and renovators to bring some of these great Victorian homes back to life in one of the greatest neighbourhoods in Toronto. One can get a good idea for tehse homes if you pass down Cowan, Dunn or King Street. Standard sized Victorian and Edwardian semidetached and detached homes exist also. Check out the Victorian row homes at Melbourne Place.
Also Parkdale has a few Loft Condominium buildings such as those on Noble Avenue and Sorauren Avenue.

Parks and Recreation:
The CNE grounds are at the base of Dufferin and Lakehore. Now home also to the Toronto FC home grounds.
Sorauren Park has a very active community who organise fund raisers every year known as the Totstock. There are many programs through the centre here. Check out all that the park has to offer you J
The 29 Dufferin Bus runs north and south on Dufferin.
The 47 Landsdowne Bus runs North and south on Lansdowne and goes south as far as Queen St W.
The 501 Queen Streetcar runs east west along Queen St.
The 501 Queen Streetcar runs east west along King St.
Shopping and Restaurants:
Many new shops such as galleries, bakeries, cafes and restaurants have opened up in the area as well and old and new have come together forming the Parkdale Village BIA ( Business Improvement Assoc). Head north on Roncesvalles Ave into Roncesvalles Village and you'll find a multitude of little stores and restaurants.

He came unto His own—that is, He comes as far as He can—from heaven to the Host, and down to the altar rails. Further He cannot come. The rest of the way must be ours.

A Beautiful Reflection on The Hidden God
There is no use denying that with the exception of rare intervals, our intercourse with God in this life is more or less laborious and difficult. This is only saying that Heaven is not yet come. Faith was meant to be a trial, and a trial it certainly is.
Come to Me, Everyone!
Beneath His glance, as snow 'neath sunny ray,
Some of my cares dissolve and melt away,
Has Your Child Left the Church? You are not Alone, but Elisabeth Leseur Can Help
In a recent homily, our parish priest discussed the staggering fact that 80 percent of baptized young people are leaving the Faith before they are 25 years old.
Don't Shy from Adoration Because You Get Distracted in Prayer – Take Your Cares to Your Lord!
Some of us, maybe, are deterred from visiting our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament by a false conception of what a visit should be. We suppose that the occupations which fill our heads and our hands from morning till night must all be laid aside at the church door and sternly forbidden entrance, much in the same way as we bid our dog lie down in the porch and wait for us.
When Jesus Speaks from the Tabernacle
There will be no more visitors for Me today, none through the long hours of the night. Stay with Me because it is towards evening.
What Can We Promise in Response to Our Lord?
"Can you come after Me by taking up your cross daily— the cross I have laid upon you to liken you to Myself?"
Lord, Teach me to Praise You
Do this for me, O dearest Lord. Praise does not come easily to these lips of mine. The cares of life, and its failures, and its pains; heaviness of soul, and the weight of the corruptible body, with all the engrossingness of self, wring my heart dry of praise.
If God is Our Best Friend, Why do We Treat Him Like a Doormat?
He wants our intercourse with Him to be perfectly free; nothing studied, nothing strained. He desires to have us as we are, no less than as we would be.
10 Great Books for Lent That You Won't Find on Other Lists
Most of us are looking for spiritual reading suggestions that will serve us well during the Lenten season. Of course, there are the tried and true recommendations – Story of a Soul by St. Therese of Lisieux, Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales and others are amazing choices, and can certainly be read over and over again. But if you're looking for something a little different this year, I have just the thing.

When I grow up – Vote Wisely
When I Grow Up… is a project that reminds everyone about the importance of voting. On the eve of what many perceive to be the most important election of their lifetimes, a team of people were inspired to unite and create a piece of sharable content that would not just remind Americans about the importance of voting, but also remind them of the Presidents that came before, and the powerful legacies they left behind. "When I Grow Up" points to the Presidents who embodied qualities of true leadership and stood for principles that helped unite us as a nation. Ten Presidents provide the inspiration for a reflection on voting wisely on November 8: Harry Truman, Teddy Roosevelt, John F Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, George Washington, Barack Obama, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan.
From the Filmmakers
"We invited a variety of Americans from all ages and all walks of life to answer one simple question: who was the President that inspired you most throughout your life… the President you wanted to be like when you grew up. We had a table full of framed portraits of past Presidents and asked each of our subjects to select the one that meant the most to them. In listening to our subjects talk about these Presidents, what stood out to us was the consistent themes of kindness, strength, fairness, and the ability to bring people together — a far cry from what we've seen represented in parts of the 2016 election. We want this film to remind voters to think about the example we're setting for the next generation. Of the two candidates on the ticket, who do we think will do a better job at inspiring our children? That's the person we hope Americans vote for."
When I grow up Credits
Filming was shot by directors Matt Ogens (Bullitt) and Steven Oritt with creative director/copywriter David Blacker, producer John Nguyen, and director of photography John Tipton.
Post production was done at Union Editorial and Resolution by editor Daniel Luna, assistant editors Hunter Lurie and Roman Petrov, Flame artist Maury Rosenfeld, sound designer Milos Zivkovic, post executive producer Michael Raimondi, producers Samantha Machado and Logan Aries.

Oh no. Was President Obama's promise that Obamacare would "bend the cost curve" on health spending just a bill of goods? Could we just lump this in with "everything's paid for" and "If you like you insurance, you can keep it" as deceptive White House advertising?
Well, yes!
At least according to the Congressional Budget Office. From Stephen Moore at the Wall Street Journal
Remember the much ballyhooed ObamaCare promise to "bend the health care cost curve down"?
Well, a new Congressional Budget Office report on the long-term trend in the federal budget finds that the costs of Medicare and Medicaid will drive federal spending and debt to all-time highs in coming decades. In one scenario, federal health-care spending doubles over the next 25 years, to 11% of GDP in 2035 from 5.6% this year. In another scenario, the debt eclipses 100% of GDP by 2021 and 190% of GDP by 2035. That's higher than where Greece is right now, and we see what the bond vigilantes are doing there.
What is conspicuously missing from this report is the magical windfall from the new health law. CBO reports that it is "using the same growth rates that would have been applied in the absence of the legislation." Now they tell us. Hence, Medicare alone is projected to nearly double over the next 25 years, from 3.7% of GDP to almost 7% by 2035.
CBO warns that ObamaCare's purported payment cuts to doctors and hospitals and the hoped-for reductions in the growth of the insurance subsidies would be "difficult to sustain over a long period." Let us translate all this mumbo jumbo: The ObamaCare cost savings are mostly bunk.

J&K: Mirwaiz under house arrest
Onkar Singh in New Delhi | July 01, 2008 11:37 IST
Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, chairperson of the moderate All Party Hurriyat Conference, was surprised when the paramilitary forces moved in and encircled his house in Nagen in downtown Srinagar [Images].
"They told me that I have been put under house arrest and nobody is being allowed to move towards my house," Mirwaiz told rediff.com on phone from his house. His movements have been temporarily restricted to ensure peace and tranquality in the Valley.
Though similar orders were also passed against hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, he instead of going to his house, went to a friend's place.
Mirwaiz had given a call to his followers to assemble at the mosque so that they could ensure that the order of giving land for Amarnath board is peacefully resolved by seeing a copy of the order which ensures that the earlier move to take over the land has been withdrawan effectively.
"We were not looking for anything more," he said. According to sources in the administration this virtually amounts to Mirwaiz resorting to social audit of the government's moves.
Meanwhile, Governor N N Vohra has asked Chief Minister Ghulam [Images] Nabi Azad to prove his majority on the floor of the House by next Monday. Failure to do so could mean Jammu & Kashmir being brought under President's rule.
Communist Party of India-Marxist legislator A Yusuf Tarigami is hopeful that Azad may survive the no confidence motion though his party is yet to take a decision whether to go with the Congress government or abstain.
"We are strongly against Mirwaiz Umer Farooq being placed under house arrest. Chief Minister Azad is confident that he will survive," Tarigami said. He did not forsee President's rule. "We should have elections under President's rule if Azad fails to prove his majority," he said.

Light Blue 3 in 1 Leather Shoulder Bag
A colorful shoulder bag is so much more than a practical accessory used to carry your items. It can instantly breathe a breath of fresh air into your wardrobe. Old outfits that have been worn for years can be revitalized while new outfits will be sure to become favorites when you accessorize with this elegant, colorful light blue 3-in-1 leather shoulder bag.
A 3-in-1 Light Blue Leather Shoulder Bag That Pops with Color
Made out of the finest light blue vegan PU leather, this shoulder bag has an elegance to it while also being built to last. You can confidently use any of these three handbags every day without worrying that the leather will give out or the handbag will start to show signs of wear and tear.
The focal point of this handbag is the large bucket style bag. This bag measures 14" in length, 6.2" in width and 11.3" in height. That gives you enough room to store all your day-to-day essential items. Items stored inside will not accidently spill or fall out as a strong clasp is used to close the bag. An attention grabbing braided bag scarf and pompom brighten up the overall look of this shoulder bag.
The two additional handbags can either be used with the large bucket style bag or on their own. A wallet pouch provides easy access to important cards. It clips to the side of the handbag and securely closes with a clasp. The wallet pouch, which measures 6" x 7", can be used with the bucket bag or attached to other handbags. Simple and chic, the third handbag can be used for additional storage or as a separate handbag for formal occasions. The handbag has no interior pockets and comes with a leather loop handle.

1. Annual meeting regulation
1. It is a FEPTO member organisation (or a temporary organizing committee of member organizations) that invites. It is not a person who invites. But what we call the "local" organization delegates some persons, forming a local committee.
2. When the local organization invites FEPTO, they take the responsibility (work, manpower, finances) to invite inside an in FEPTO usual maximum for hotel costs and registration fee and to offer the needed facilities.
3. The local organization and FEPTO organize or better co-create the meeting together, but there are differences in responsibility, the local organization being mostly the host for the event during one week (but prepared during more than one year) and FEPTO being mostly in charge of the professional, scientific and associational aspects of the meeting and the continuity.
4. As host, the local organization has the responsibility but asks the approval from FEPTO for:
– Conference center with the needed conference rooms with the needed material for presentation and an office with possibility of telephone, photocopy, PC for redaction and printing, e-mail…
– Hotel, B&B, Catering Coffee or tea, biscuits, fruit juice.
– Social programme, excursion, special dinner with local atmosphere, meeting of local psychodrama societies. Also a social programme for accompanying persons. Tours before or after the meeting.
– A documentation file for each participant with the agenda of the meeting, list of participants with their addresses, documentation about the country, the place and neighbourhood, psychodrama in the country, the more scientific and organizational documents given by FEPTO, tickets for meals, invitation for a reception. Also some paper and a ball-point.
5. The local organizing committee is (since 2009) also in charge of the programme and the organisation of the professional, scientific and associational meetings, which is to be discussed with FEPTO (especially the AM-chair and -committee). The FEPTO-Council is in charge of the GA and the voting with the help of the local organizing committee.
Guest persons at the meetings are invited by FEPTO. Scholarships are decided by FEPTO and given from the 10% of the present registration fees and from the profit of previous meetings.
6. The necessary announcements are made by the host organization, but FEPTO gives advice and reviews before printing. In the first announcement the local organization has to tell about the country, the place (photo), environment, travel possibilities (train, taxi,.. from airport ) to reach the place, conference and hotel facilities and about costs, inscription forms, modes of payment, visas, … to attract, tempt people to come to a foreign place
FEPTO tells about the programme, the theme of the meeting, the goals, also to attract participants.
The cost of the announcements has to be in the conference budget. Announcements in FEPTO News are paid by FEPTO
7. Finance. They are mostly about the host function, so the local organizing committee is responsible to make the budget and the accounts. FEPTO has to introduce his planned costs (photocopies) and 10% for scholarships in the registration budget. The profit goes for more scholarships the next year.
2. Registration procedure for the Annual Meeting of FEPTO
Due to the limited numbers of participants and in respect of FEPTO Annual Meeting spirit and goals the Council decided that:
• Each training institute can send 3 representatives.
• Each accrediting institute can send 2 representatives.
• The local organizers can send two more participants.
• The institutes/organizations decide who will be their representative for the FEPTO Annual Meeting. To ensure a continuity of work and exchange it is advisable to have the same representatives for some years.
• Psychodramatists who want to register for the FEPTO meeting, even if they have been participant in previous meetings, have to be delegated by their institute/organization as representative or as delegate.
• The local organizers take it for granted that someone who registers is authorized by the psychodrama training institute or accrediting organization she/he belongs to.
• The local organizers accept only the first three people of a training institute or the first two of an accrediting institute. In case they receive more registrations than allowed by the regulations, they notify the institute in order to get a decision.
The local organizers inform the FEPTO members of this procedure and announce that the participants should be trainers or practitioners. This procedure was published in the FEPTO Newsletter 9.2.
Students, practitioners and trainers are welcome to register for the FEPTO Post- or Pre-Meeting-Conference.
Representative: is an individual who represents the member organisation.
Accompanying people: refers only to representatives and not to guests. Only representatives can come with an accompanying person.
• A guest is a participant of the FEPTO Annual Meeting who is invited by the Council to represent an institute that is not yet a member of FEPTO or for another special purpose (e.g. lecture).
• Members of the past and present Councils are permanent guests of the AM and need no invitations.
• Representatives of candidate members or interested psychodrama training or accrediting organizations can be invited by the council. According to the guidelines they need a member of FEPTO being their "godfather" who introduces them as guests at the annual meeting.
• The local organizers have to check the invitation of a guest with the registration.
• The council has to give a copy of each invitation or a list of invited guests to the LOC (Local Organizing Committee).
• And a guest has to send a copy of the invitation with the registration.
So if the LOC receives a registration of someone who is neither a representative nor a founding member and has no invitation they have to refer the guest to the council/AM chair for clarification.
3. Scholarship attribution guidelines
As you all know, each year FEPTO provides scholarships for the Annual Meeting (AM) and for the FEPTO Conference (FC). Sometimes people wonder what is the procedure. We have kept it simple and are presenting it here.
Who can apply?
For the Annual Meeting ,one scholarship per institute is available (i.e. scholarships are not granted to individuals, nor to founding members, only to institutes). May apply for that scholarship all institutes (members of FEPTO) from countries such as Bulgaria, Croatia*, Estonia*, FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), Greece*, Hungary, Latvia*, Lithuania*, Poland, Portugal*, Romania, Russia, Serbia ant Turkey.
Since one scholarship only is granted per institute, if a second person were to need another scholarship in order to represent the same institute, both applicants would have to discuss it and to come together to an agreement. In case when some scholarships remain available 1 month before the AM, a second scholarship may be granted to an institute requiring so.
For the FEPTO Conference, one scholarship per person is available for participants coming from countries such as Bulgaria, FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), Greece*, Hungary*, Romania, Russia and Serbia. No matter which institute from FEPTO they are coming from, norhow many people are coming from the same institute.
How much is a scholarship?
FEPTO policy is to offer scholarships not exceeding 10% of the total amount of participants (fees) registered. This is based on the (almost) monthly report of FEPTO Treasurer or the Local organizing Committee (LOC).
If the applicant, does not register within the early bird deadline, FEPTO still provide the scholarship based on the early bird fee; what is left of the regular fee then remains to be paid by the participant.
A full scholarship represents 2/3 of the early bird registration fee. This amount is covered by FEPTO. The applicant needs to pay the third left.
*Institutes representatives (for the AM) and participants (for FC) coming from Hungary and Greece get half a scholarship, which means that 1/3 of the early bird registration fee is paid by FEPTO and 2/3 by the applicant.
How to apply?
The Development Committee is in charge of the process of attribution of the scholarships. It is a four-step rather simple procedure, based on the following rule : first come, first served.
1. The applicant – whether (s)he be representing an institute (for AM) or coming as an individual (for FC) need to fill out the application form and send it to the Chair of Development Committee firstname.lastname@example.com
2. The development committee will respond by a first email
• either granting the tentative scholarship
• or putting the applicant on the waiting list (see further down)
3. In order to avoid that some scholarships be provided to people not showing up (which already happened in the past), we ask the applicant to confirm participation by sending, at the latest three weeks after scholarship has been tentatively granted, copies of :
• the airplane ticket confirmation
• the registration
If this is not done the scholarship will go to someone else.
4. Upon reception of these elements of confirmation, a mail is sent finalizing the granting of the scholarship.
As for the waiting list : as soon as other scholarships are available, provided a sufficient number of participants have newly registered, we inform the applicants, and, send the first emails of tentative confirmation.

4. Some experiences on preparing an Annual FEPTO meeting
|Time before
|Tasks of the local organizers
|Make sure that there are 5-6 persons in your organisation who are motivated and will have time to build an organisational team.
There should be
• One coordinator who is good in that.
• One should be the contact person for questions of the FEPTO members ( it is good to have someone who knows the rules and the people)
• One should take care of the excursion programme
• One should be available at the conference as contact person and trouble shooter
| 3 years
|Written invitation of the host institute or organization accepting the contract between local organizers and FEPTO before the annual meeting
|3 – 2,5
|Find out if there are special times when you can get financial support by local authorities (EU, tourist organisations, ministry of health or science) and take religious holidays into consideration and other big conferences if they are known at this moment before you fix a date
|2,5 – 2
|One who knows FEPTO meetings should make the negotiations with the hotels
1. ask for official prices at a hotel
2. ask for reduction for early booking
3. ask for reduction for groups
4. Include all you need ( rooms, breakfast, meals, coffees, beverages)
5. make a proposal (hotels have normally a wide range regarding prices for groups)
Some calculations are difficult to compare: e.g. if they offer a price per person (including seminar rooms, coffee and meals) or a price for renting the rooms only and additional price for meals and coffee. Normally the second one is cheaper
|By choosing a meeting place take into consideration the distances and transportation possibilities from airport and train
|Ask companies (bank, assurances etc) if they are willing to contribute to the meeting by giving folders, writing material etc. Then you need not to budget it.
Plan the excursions as soon as possible. You need the prices for transport and meal for the budget
|2 years
|Presenting the possible places ,dates and preliminary budget to the board at the November meeting
Title should be chosen there
|Reservation at the chosen hotel or seminar place.
• To reserve 30 rooms is not enough. There are always about 10-15 people who like to have a single room (it depends on the prices). So you need 40 double rooms if some of them can be used as single.
• Think about handicapped people.
• Make sure that they have all facilities (beamer, microphone, if needed, internet contact, overhead, flipcharts, etc)
|1 year
|Presentation of the final date and place at the GA
|Put the regular agenda points first into the programme
• Registration and Welcome
• Opening of the meeting
• Excursion
• General assembly
• Social evening
• FEPTO theatre
• Evaluation and closure
Discuss the programme with the board members
|If possible try to establish a computer supported registration, a transfer to the hotel, an automatically transcription into a list and an automatically confirmation.
(We had an extra hotel reservation which brought a terrible mass. Try to avoid this.)
|Excursions and social evening should be organized
|Prepare the 1. announcement including the title, the description of the place, the hotel and registration formalia ( how to pay the registration fee etc)
|6 month
|Presentation of the programme and final budget to the board
1st announcement (mail, post and homepage)
|5 month
|Sending invitation letters for people who need visa or special invitations for their employers
|Check at the hotel the procedure with counting the meals, beverages etc. (e.g.: maybe you need a bon for a meal)
|3 month
|2nd announcement (mail, post, newsletter and homepage) with the final programme and traffic information about reaching the meeting place.
|2 month
|Sending a preliminary list of registered participants to the board
|1 month
|Preparing the folders including copy of the programme, list of participants, accountancy, budget, GA agenda, list of everything that will be voted on, confirmation of participation, abstracts of lectures
|1 week
|Organizing the registration procedure
Checking the organized procedure (hotel, bus and restaurant for excursion, social evening etc)
|Time after
|Tasks of the local organizers
|1 month
|Sending the final address list to the participants if it was not possible to do it during the conference
|2 month
|Presenting the accountancy with receipts and invoices to the FEPTO treasurer

To demonstrate the difficulty of reliably reconstructing the past, by using what we see in the present, without an eyewitness.
- Find an object you don't mind destroying (an old tie or other item of clothing; a cup; a piece of hardware, etc. The more obscure or unusual the object, the better).
- Break (or tear) the object into pieces in a creative way (cut it with a saw; crush it with pliers; drop it out a window; drive the car over it… Use CAUTION!).
- Choose a piece of the broken object to give to the student (be certain there is no way the student could know what the original object looked like).
- Have the student
answer the following questions:
- What did the object look like before it was destroyed? (Have the student draw a picture of it.)
- How old is the object? (Ideally the teacher would know the exact date of manufacture or copyright.)
- Where did the object come from originally? (In the house/school; ideally, exactly where was it made.)
- How was the object used? (A common object with an uncommon use would be good, e.g., a cup or bowl that had been used as a planter).
- What color was the object? (Use something multi-colored if possible, and just give the student a piece with one color on it.)
- How was the object destroyed? (This should be the most interesting part! Be creative!)
- Share with the student your "eyewitness" account—the true answers to the questions.
- Have the student evaluate his/her explanations and list assumptions made in answering the questions.
Scientists often try to determine the answers to questions about the past using scant evidence from the present. For example, they may take a tooth and some bones and come up with their idea of how an animal or person looked and what it was like.1 But they cannot know for sure what the creature or person looked like, how it behaved, or how or where it lived (e.g., the bones could have been transported by a flood from their original location to the location where they were found, for example). They cannot determine skin color, or even how old the bones are without making lots of assumptions. They also cannot determine exactly how the creature died. Perhaps it was already dead before it was buried. Perhaps it died in a flood. Perhaps another animal killed it. The worldview a scientist has chosen will influence his/her interpretation of the evidence.
We can only know the truth if there was an eyewitness. The Bible records an eyewitness account of what happened in the beginning. God created all things and tells us about it in His Word!

Director Bong Joon Ho looked to Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" for minor inspiration in making his breakthrough Oscar contender and genre-bending class thriller, "Parasite." This isn't surprising considering his meticulous rhythm and pacing throughout the voyeuristic masterpiece.

How to Fix Typical Problems on a Samsung Galaxy Tab
For the most part, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is a very reliable and trouble-free device. But now and then, you may encounter a bit of a problem. Here are some typical problems you may encounter on the Samsung Galaxy Tab and suggestions for a solution:
General trouble: For just about any problem or minor quirk, consider restarting the Galaxy Tab: Turn it off and then turn it on again. This procedure will most likely fix a majority of the annoying problems you encounter.
Check the cellular data connection: As you move about, the cellular signal can change. In fact, you may observe the status bar icon change from 4G LTE to 3G to even the dreaded E or — worse — nothing, depending on the strength and availability of the cellular data service.
The best advice for random signal weirdness is to wait. Oftentimes, the signal comes back after a few minutes. If it doesn't, the cellular data network might be down, or you may just be in an area with lousy service. Consider changing your location.
Check the Wi-Fi connection: For Wi-Fi connections, you have to ensure that the Wi-Fi is set up properly and working. This process usually involves pestering the person who configured the Wi-Fi router or, in a coffee shop, bothering the cheerful person with the bad haircut who serves you coffee.
Reset the Wi-Fi connection: Perhaps the issue isn't with the Galaxy Tab at all, but rather with the Wi-Fi network. Some networks have a "lease time" after which your Tab might be disconnected. If so, turn off the Tab's Wi-Fi and then turn it on again. That often solves the issue.
Music is playing and you want it to stop: It's awesome that the Galaxy Tab continues to play music while you do other things. Getting the music to stop quickly, however, requires some skill. Primarily, you need skill at popping up the notifications and touching the Pause button that appears in the currently playing song's notification.

Dave dragged us to "Fame."
I had my hestitations. I mean, we'd memorized the football team's moves to "All the Single Ladies" in the last "Glee" episode. What could stack up to that?
Ten minutes into the remake, my boys were suffering badly; nothing on the screen was transforming into destructive robots, or firing space lasers at rebel alliances.
Hang in there, I told them.
But I was barely holding on, myself.
Where was the humor? There was room there for some. Any. A little, at least.
Where were the homosexuals? This was a school. An arts school. In New York. Yet the only gay student was alone and suicidal. Unfair representation.
Where were the interracial romances? Why did the whites hook up with whites, the African Americans with African Americans? Real kids don't care about that. Why did these kids?
And along the lines of stereotyping, why were the characters and plot predictable? The Italian kid's family owned a restaurant. Malik came from the Hood.
"Fame" was really insightful for me. I craved a big twist, an unlikely character, and more than anything, for the cast to bust out in Pat Benatar's "We Are Young."
That would have made the movie.

Residential metal roofing is one of the fastest growing segments of
Residential metal roofing is one of the fastest growing segments of home improvement !
Residential metal roofing is one of the fastest growing segments of home improvement – more than quadrupling its market share over the past decade. The benefits offered by today's metal roofs allow homeowners to upgrade their homes with products of lasting value. While other roofs quickly diminish in value as they age, metal roofs provide the following lasting benefits:
: Proven performance expectation of 50+ years
: Beautiful styles to match any home or neighborhood
: Interlocking panels for maximum wind resistance
: Fire resistance
: Energy efficiency by keeping homes cooler
: Low weight to help preserve structural integrity and life
Asphalt can require re-roofing every 12 to 20 years, with the average age of roofing replaced in the U.S. being only 17 years. That's because asphalt roofing, being made of oil impregnated paper or fiberglass, begins to deteriorate as soon as you put it on your roof. Just normal weather and the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays add to an asphalt roof's deterioration. A metal roof, however, will not decompose. A light-colored metal roof actually deflects UV radiation, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. With home heating costs doubling in the last year, you may be surprised to learn that metal roofs are excellent insulators. Not only will a metal roof keep your house comfortable, regardless of the weather outside, it can actually lower your air conditioning and heating bills. And unlike asphalt and other roofing styles, a metal roof can withstand just about everything Mother Nature throws at it.
Have your new metal roof installed by Jack Hall Jr's, a contractor doing business in Florida for over 35 years. We also have riser pan metal roofing that is great for roof overs, patios and carports.

There should be a leg of a metal angle piece
Hanging down off the roof called a drip edge.
Now I don't know without seeing it how the sider made the roof/wall terminition.
I get a feeling he used the lock at the bottom of the siding as a locked in point and floated the top up under some kind of angle coming off the roof, without any fastners,clips,trim on the top. But-- There might/should be a vynal trim piece under the roof that the top edge of the siding slips into.[It is small and the same color so maybe you didn't notice it] So as you slide the siding up to engage the bottom snap, you feed the top of the siding into the termination strip

The carport lasted twenty years and is still there as far as we know. Stood up to the hurricane in 1987

Dateline | January 06, 2014
>> reporter: imagine living a life tied to a machine. imagine struggling for air as you play, walk or even sleep. imagine fearing that your next breath may be your last. welcome to the world of 6-year-old amanda santos .
>> i can't breathe. i can't breathe.
>> okay. all right. i know you're tired.
>> reporter: amanda is one of 7 million children in the u.s. who suffer from asthma . but there is something different about her disease. she and hundreds of thousands of others like her are more likely to develop, more likely to be hospitalized for, more likely to die of asthma than other children. i can't breathe i can't breathe
>> reporter: nearly a year and a half ago as part of the nbc news "in plain sight" initiative which reports on poverty in america and is supported by the ford foundation , i along with a team of "dateline" investigative producers set out to find out why those kids are more at risk, up close and undercover. and you may be outraged by what we discovered. i certainly was. because this is a story not just about asthma . it's about how the illness is made worse by neglect and incompetence in the very places where asthma rages most of all. i'm sitting in amanda 's apartment in new york at the kitchen table where time and time again she's been strapped to this medical device called a nebulizer, trying to ward off yet another asthma attack . and the painful truth is, it should have never come to this. for amanda 's mom, roseanna , it all began on a cold day almost two years ago when her daughter had her first asthma attack .
>> i got to the back, and that's when he told me, you know, he was, like, i don't want to scare you, but thank god you brought your daughter because she could have died last night.
>> reporter: do you remember the feeling of when you heard the word asthma for the first time? the doctor said, amanda has asthma ?
>> that's something that no parent wants to hear. none of my kids had asthma , so i didn't know what to look for.
>> reporter: roseanna works for a drugstore, but she and her husband, jose, were barely making ends meet. brownsville, an impoverished neighborhood in brooklyn where the family resides, was one of the few places in new york where they could afford an apartment large enough for their expanding family.
>> it was home.
>> reporter: and no matter what was happening outside --
>> once i closed my door, that was it.
>> reporter: it was a safe place , and no one could harm you.
>> exactly.
>> reporter: the everyday reality of dealing with amanda 's asthma changed all that. now the slightest cough sent her parents into a tailspin. so it's kind of a scary existence.
>> yes. here she is only 6, and she's sick. and she doesn't understand, and she doesn't know how she got it or why she got it.
>> reporter: amanda may not have understood why she got asthma , but she was quickly becoming a veteran in treating her own emergencies. we asked jose to document his daughter's struggle with the disease. so he pulled out his cell phone when a familiar sound woke him up at 2:30 a.m .
>> when i come out, i hear the -- the start of the nebulizer. she's, like, "i can't breathe." i said, "why didn't you call me?" "oh, because i woke you up last night and the night before, and i didn't want to bother you, so i came and did it myself." she's 6 years old. she should not know how to do her own medicine.
>> can i go get it and show you? this is the medicine that i've got to put on me. i open it and then i put it into here. and then i close it. and then i put this on. i turn it on, and it makes noise. i'm so scared. but my daddy says it's going to be all right. he says don't worry about a thing. everything will be all right.
>> reporter: but things were far from all right. not for amanda . and not for melissa sepulveda, a 12-year-old living in east harlem . her first asthma attack happened in the middle of basketball practice.
>> i felt like i couldn't breathe. i was suffocating. i didn't know what was happening to me. in my head i thought i was dying.
>> reporter: an asthma attack causes the small airways in the lungs to suddenly close. sometimes in response to an allergen, stress or exercise. but many times it's caused by triggers in the environment.
>> it feels like something's pinching or squeezing your heart.
>> reporter: and then when you try to breathe, what happens?
>> it just won't let you.
>> reporter: melissa 's dad, javier , was horrified. his daughter had developed a cough before the attack. but at first, he figured it was just a cold.
>> and it just became more persistent, more she was complaining about headaches and so we became more concerned.
>> reporter: javier works as a fire protection specialist at a local hospital. it's a good job, but raising a family in new york city is expensive. the family lives paycheck to paycheck. when money is tight, javier often works a second job to pay the bills. he prides himself on being a good provider and a u.s. air force veteran who helped protect his country during " desert storm ." but fighting asthma was a different challenge altogether.
>> put a plastic bag over your head for about 10, 20 seconds, and you would know what an asthma attack feels when someone has one. the inability to breathe, the panic, the fear that that creates in my daughter. she has this condition for the rest of her life.
>> reporter: and despite your best efforts, you couldn't protect her?
>> correct. and, uh --
>> reporter: it's your kids.
>> sorry.
>> reporter: it's your kids.
>> yeah.
>> reporter: javier and roseanna were wondering why our daughters. the answer, i was shocked to discover, was right in front of their eyes in the place they thought was their safe haven . their own home. imagine the place your children live, where they eat, play, sleep, making them sicker by the day. that was the case with both melissa and amanda . frightening. and when it seems no one cares, frustrating.
>> at this point, i was saying to myself, my child is sick. she could die. and no one is doing anything to help me. in

PARIS (Reuters) - Airbus has failed to break an impasse with AirAsia over the fate of a multi-billion-dollar order seen as key to the future of its A330neo passenger jet, people familiar with the matter said.
AirAsia (AIRA.KL) co-founder Tony Fernandes visited the planemaker this week for talks aimed at shoring up and increasing the existing order for 66 jets, but left Toulouse without signing a deal after what one source described as challenging talks.
The future of the deal with the airline's AirAsia X (AIRX.KL) long-haul unit is crucial to the latest version of the A330, a key source of profits at the European group, after a string of market losses to Boeing's (BA.N) competing 787 Dreamliner.
AirAsia declined to comment.
An Airbus spokesman said, "As a leading aircraft manufacturer we are always in talks with our customers about their fleet needs. We keep the content of those talks confidential."
Fernandes - who has spoken in the past of switching to the 787 only to reaffirm support for the A330neo and then raise fresh questions over the Airbus deal - publicly set out a list of conditions for confirming the planes this week.
These included price, performance, engines and advance payments, he said on his Twitter account, before adding: "Or else" in a remark apparently designed to leave open the prospect of reviving interest in the Boeing jet.
After meeting Airbus Chief Executive Tom Enders, Fernandes wrote on LinkedIn on Thursday that the A330neo was a "great aircraft" for long-haul, low-cost travel, while adding: "Airbus has to work hard to make it a world beater. Let's see".
Fernandes, a music executive turned airline mogul, is adroit at keeping suppliers on their toes through his wide social media following. But the suspense over the deal is seen as a crucial test for Airbus as it tries to close a gap in orders this year compared to Boeing and defend the profitable A330 wide-body jet.
Sources say relations between Airbus and its largest Asian customer, which has ordered almost 600 single-aisle jets, have deteriorated following management changes at the planemaker and due to differences over prices and advance payment schedules.AirAsia X also has 10 A350s on order but in April, Fernandes said they were "too expensive" and would not be purchased. It is possible those orders could be converted to other jets, such as A330neos.
Airbus nonetheless hopes to strike an expanded final deal in time for the Farnborough Airshow in 10 days.
Airbus is working to secure at least one other significant A330neo order soon, industry sources said. It also posted an order for 10 A330neos from an undisclosed customer.
Airbus said it had ended the first half with 206 net orders, compared with Boeing's total of 306 up to end-May. For wide-body jets, it accumulated 50 net orders by end-June, compared with Boeing's latest available tally of 113 by end-May.
