A Loving Tribute to My Father, Cuthbert Emmanuel Vincent BEM (1928 - 2010)
For The Generations To Come!
As I read 1 Chronicles in the Holy Bible, I marveled at the amount of family history recorded and preserved for more than 2,000 years! Things such as the number of sons and daughters that a man had, their names, which cities they founded, their trade/profession, where they originated from, who they married, who they had children with, how many of their descendants were men eligible for military duty, etcetera.
Then my mind shifted to my Dad (may he rest in peace), and I thought of all the wonderful things he had quietly accomplished in his life; since he was not much of a talker but very much a doer.
And while I have many cherished memories of my father and heard so many wonderful stories from other people, after his death, about how he had impacted their lives in his own quiet and pragmatic way, I thought that I needed to pay him tribute beyond the eulogy that I read on the day of his funeral (December 20, 2010).
So I have written this loving tribute to my Dad - Cuthbert Emmanuel Vincent - so that long after I have expired and the people who knew him, loved him and shared memories of him expire, his name, deeds and fond memories of his immediate and extended family will live on for the future generations in the Vincent family.
This is a photo of my Dad, at age 78, that I took on December 24, 2006. We were going to Mass on Christmas Eve which fell on a Sunday.
"Dad! Here's to you! Thanks for being the best father a daughter could ever have!"

One thing I was really glad about after my father's passing was that I had asked him to write what he remembered about his known family members. He wrote some interesting information that I could never have known otherwise and so I have the honour of preserving it for future generations.What is really great about this hardcover journal is that it uses questions as prompts to help you as a father, or your father, answer some important questions about the family's history or genealogy. It's easier with these prompts and there are some questions asked that you or your father may not have thought of by yourself/himself.
Dad the FAMILY MAN
My Dad married my Mom (Mary Imelda Vincent ne Simon) in August 1960. Together they had 6 children as follows, by order of birth: Raphael (a.k.a. Anthony Christopher), Martin, Cletus, Heidi, Michelle and Irenaeus.
In August 1985, my parents formally renewed their marriage vows, on their 25th Wedding Anniversary, with a Mass and a small informal gathering of family friends.
Although it was my Mom who actively planned outings, my Dad participated fully by driving his family to where ever we were going (beach, around the island picnics, drive-in) and helping my Mom prepare and pack food. My Dad often cooked lunch during school weekdays. He would also pick us up from school during the lunch hour and we would eat as a family at his office from our family lunch basket, then he would drop us back to school. He also waited for us after school to finish our after school lessons and extra-curricular activities.
My Dad travelled sometimes for his job and as children we eagerly waited for the presents he would bring back. He lived and studied in Puerto Rico for one (1) year during the early 1960s. He travelled to Russia in the early 1980s and to Canada and several other Caribbean countries in the late 1980s. He never forgot to bring back something special for each of his children and his wife.
Many family photos were lost due to extreme water damage during Hurricane Ivan on September 7, 2004 (My Dad's birthdate. Would you believe it!). Luckily, I was able to salvage the family photos in this article).

Dad and HIS AWARDS
Dad was honoured, on the Queen's Birthday, with a British Empire Medal in the early 1980s for meritorious civil service.
"The British Empire Medal (formally British Empire Medal for Meritorious Service) is "a British medal awarded for meritorious civil or military service worthy of recognition by the Crown [British Monarchy]".
"As a Commonwealth realm, Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of Grenada and Head of State", which is why this award originates from Britain.
In November 2006, as the Grenada Ports Authority (GPA) celebrated its 25th anniversary, management remembered the excellence with which my father had served the GPA more than 12 years earlier, and presented Dad with an award for loyal and effective service from 1982 to 1994.
Dad's Award from the Grenada Ports Authority
It took me 3 and a half years after my father's death to put together this article about my family's history and many times I have wished I had more time with my father. In retrospect it's just never thought that he would be gone so soon. This book is "A warm, accessible, step-by-step guide to creating precious personal histories from the memories of older people, by the best-selling author of Hang Time and his sister, journalist D. G. Fulford."
Dad driving his Mazda 1800 Sedan
As a teenager (around 14/15 years), I was playing around with a camera in the back seat and took this photo of my Dad driving our family's Mazda 1800 Sedan near Ms. Snagg's shop in St. Pauls. How precious a photo it is now. I'm glad I did not throw it away.
Dad the MECHANIC, MACHINIST & WELDER
There was no better mechanic, machinist or welder in Grenada than my Dad! My Dad was dedicated to his job and a problem solver. He travelled all over the island fixing government vehicles and machinery that had broken down or fallen into disrepair.
The true testimony of his mechanical skills was his 1970 Mazda 1800 Sedan which he kept in tip top shape from the day he bought it, somewhere in 1971/1972 until 2004, when Hurricane Ivan damaged the car's windshield and no replacement could be found for it. That's 33 years of faithful service from his Mazda 1800 Sedan with his loving and expert care and attention to that car.
As a child growing up, that faithful Mazda 1800 Sedan took our entire family to Mass every Sunday, to school every day of the week, around the island on family picnics and outings, to the beach, to the Drive-In cinema, to church harvests and more.
The Mazda 1800 Sedan was our family's Sunday and special occasion vehicle. The original colour was yellow and it was first my Mom's car which she drove around whenever we weren't going out with my Dad. If we were going out as a family my Dad drove her car, which was our luxury car. My Dad's car back then was a Hillman and that was considered the family's work and school vehicle.
In later years my father had body work done on the Mazda 1800 Sedan to prevent rusting of the body and it was spray painted a metallic brown instead. By then it had become our 'old car' since my Mom now had a new Chevrolet car.
My Dad taught me to drive with that Mazda 1800 Sedan and, in 1990, I took my driving examination with it, passed the driving test and got my driver's license. He subsequently lent me his car to go to work, since I sometimes worked late night shifts at Barclays Bank, to steel pan practice and other outings from time to time.
For most, of his working life, Dad worked at the Public Works and for some time at the Drill Yard. After officially retiring from the public service in 1982, he worked another 12 years, from 1982 to 1994, at the Grenada Ports Authority.
Dad was extremely skilled at machining also and many persons, including the Port Manager of the Grenada Ports Authority at the time, Ambrose Phillip, have acknowledged how he often saved government lots of money by crafting replacement parts for vehicles and machinery that served as perfect substitutes.
Dad crafted lots of wrought ironwork, especially with his signature 'S' shape which he bent into shape through welding. He burglar proofed our home with his beautiful wrought iron work and my former Secondary School, St. Joseph's Convent, as well as the Cathedral parish in St. George's are among the many places that also benefited from his wrought iron work. His wrought iron work at our original home is the only thing that remained intact during Hurricane Ivan in 2004 (see the pictures below of our renovated home post Hurricane Ivan in 2004 with his wrought iron burglar bars still intact).

Dad's Early Years & Known Family Members
My Dad, Cuthbert Emmanuel Vincent was born on September 7, 1928 to Octavia Antoine and Lewis Vincent. He grew up in Mt. Airy, St. Pauls, St. George with his grandmother Louisa Antoine, his grandfather Lewis Vincent, his mother Octavia Antoine and his three (3) sisters by his mother – Monica, Thelma & Ena. He was the only boy in his mother's four (4) children and his three (3) sisters by his mother adored him.
His father, Lewis Vincent, later married Marie Vincent ne Beharry and Dad gained two (2) more sisters - Cynthia Victor ne Vincent and Yvonne Munro ne Vincent - who loved their big brother even more.
He attended the St. Dominic's Roman Catholic (R.C.) School in Perdmontemps, St. David and served as an acolyte at the St. Dominic's R.C. Church.
His childhood was challenging. He recounted having to walk to the town St. George's to make his first communion in a shoe that was too tight, sometimes going to school hungry and eating yellow plum for lunch on many days when it was in season or breadfruit or plain rice with no meat. His mother did her best by sending a box of groceries for them from Trinidad when she could and he was responsible for collecting it at the port.
Dad's family, as far as he remembers, consisted of:
1.His grandfather, Ellis Antoine, who he remembers as being "a very nice person to me", was in charge of the Mt Airy Cemetery in St. Paul's as the caretaker and when someone died and wanted to bury someone, they came to him to get directions for where they could dig the grave for the deceased person.
He fondly recalled sitting on the wooden steps of their home every afternoon from about 4 o'clock and looking out to see when his grandfather "would come riding up the hill with his 2 long feet stretching down almost touching the ground on both sides of his donkey." He would run to meet his grandfather and his grandfather would lift him up onto the donkey and they would ride home together.
Ellis Antoine eventually, died and left behind his wife, Louisa Antoine. Dad believed that they honoured him by burying him close to the main gate of the Mount Airy Cemetery in St. Pauls when he died.
2.His grandmother, Louisa Antoine, who was a Barbadian and was nicknamed "Dada". He fondly remembered her as "a very dear and devoted old lady to me", who shielded him on many occasions from being beaten by his mother, Octavia Antoine.
Louisa Antoine worked on the family's plot of sugar cane land in Hope Vale and helped other small sugarcane farmers to reap the sugar cane from their lands. My Dad recalls that in those days, sugarcane fields, plantations and mills were prevalent in Grenada. He also mentioned that those who owned their own small sugar cane plots of land, like his grandparents, helped to reap the cane on other small owners' lands and received help from them to reap the cane on their land. No one paid for labour. They just helped each other out when harvesting time came around.
He also affectionately recalled that his grandmother used to wear a dress made of checks or dungaree material, with pockets on both sides, and always carried home some bread and fish cakes for him in her pockets.
As a young man, Dad helped his grandmother 'Dada' take care of his sisters after his mother, Octavia Antoine, migrated to Trinidad and later to the USA in pursuit of employment. Then when 'Dada' died he continued to take care of his sister Monica who, by then, was the only one of his mother's daughters still in Grenada.
His grandmother then passed away and was buried next to her husband, Ellis Antoine, near the entrance of the Mt. Airy Cemetery, St. Pauls in an unmarked grave. I know that he loved her very much because he said, "Now with my grandmother and my Aunt [Elaine] dead, I used to lie in my bed and cry for many nights." In Dad's own words, "May they rest in peace, Amen"
3.His father, Lewis Vincent, who he met for the first time when he was somewhere between 8 and 12 years and liked very much. He described his father as a very flashy person who wore very pretty suits, had lots of gold teeth in his mouth and gold rings on the fingers of both his hands. He bought several pieces of land all over the island, including Charlotte Valle, and he lived in a small house just after the former Nutmeg Pool in St. Pauls.
Before she migrated to Trinidad, Dad's mother, Octavia 'Tavi' Antoine, used to send him to his father's home every Sunday morning to get money from him to buy food for the two (2) children he had fathered by her - my father and his younger sister, Monica.
He recounts that when he got to his father's home, he never came out to see him. Instead, a woman named Brin would answer the door and then a few minutes later she would bring him a silver coin, the value of 2 shillings and 6 pence. This went on for some time but he doesn't remember when and how it stopped. Dad described his father as very loving and giving.
Lewis Vincent married a fair-skinned dougla woman (a product of African and East Indian descent) from Sauteurs, St. Patrick, who Dad called 'Ms. Marie'. Every Christmas, she used to give my father money to buy a ham for her. Ms. Marie loved Dad very much and she had two (2) daughters with his father, Lewis Vincent - Cynthia Victor ne Vincent and Yvonne Munro ne Vincent - who also loved him very much. In Dad's own words, "May God bless Ms. Marie and may she rest in peace."
4.His Mother, Octavia 'Tavi' Antoine, whom he described "as a very hardworking mother to her 4 children; 3 girls and 1 boy. Always doing something to make a shilling so that we could have had clothes on our backs and food for our belly". She washed clothes for the priests in Perdmontemps, St. David and St. Pauls, St. George.
After a while, she told her 4 children that she was migrating to Trinidad to seek employment. Every Friday, she sent a large cardboard box with groceries by boat, which lasted them for several days. She did this for several months and then she migrated to the USA in 1965.
She worked in the USA for several years and later died there. Dad learned of his mother's passing via a telephone call from his sister, Thelma, who had by then migrated to the USA also.
He was unable to attend his mother's funeral at the time of her death but several months later he did visit the USA and he said, "my first request was to take me to the burial site of my mother, which they did. I felt very sad but I did not cry beyond a watery eye. May she rest in peace."
5.Three (3) sisters by his mother - Monica Vincent who travelled between Trinidad, which became her primary home and the USA, and Thelma & Ena, who migrated to the USA.
6.Two (2) aunts, Elaine Antoine and Irene Thomas ne Antoine . Alas, by the time I had the good sense to ask Dad to record the details he remembered about his family, he passed away before telling me about his Aunt Irene. The only thing that I gathered was that she was married based on the additional surname that he gave me.
Of his Aunt Elaine he said, "She was a very nice and highly educated person and I liked her very much. She always had very good advice for you." He also recalled that she worked as a nurse at the Colony Hospital in St. George's (now called the General Hospital) and was later transferred to the Tuberculosis Hospital as the Matron in charge.
She left work and was home at one point but was not enjoying good health. My father speculated that her deteriorating health was as a result of a 'no good fellow' who came into her life and she began drinking rum, smoking with her tobacco pipe and eventually had a baby with that same 'no good fellow'. The baby died at around 6 to 8 months and was buried on family land at the foot of Madigras Hill, St. David.
7.His uncle, Clifford Antoine, who Dad described "as a very short and aggressive fellow who was always looking other fellows for fight." And get this! "He had one good hand and a 'finney hand' (deformed hand)". Can you believe this? (smile)
"He was always well dressed in his cream flannel suit and his wife was a very nice and pious lady." Clifford Antoine worked for a large company called 'Mc Cartney & Williams' which owned several businesses in the town of St. George.
He visited Dad's grandparents, Ellis & Louisa Antoine, who were his parents, on Sundays and usually spent the whole day. Dad recalled that his grandmother "liked Clifford very much and was happy when he came home".
Clifford Antoine also loved to play cricket but because of his deformed arm and leg, whenever he was batting, someone else had to do the running for him to score runs.
He got sick and remained at his home for a while before he died. "For 3 days after the burial, a great crowd of people gathered at the home saying a lot of prayers and drinking tea or coffee. Then I started to feel the absence of his being or person. May he rest in peace and may the Lord have mercy on his soul. Amen"
8.His cousin, Kernal Clark, who Dad told me about while he was alive but regrettably I do not remember any of the details about his cousin and he did not have time write about him for me. He did, however, show me where his cousin used to live in Perdmontemps, St. David. The only other information that I have about him was graciously shared by my Aunt Theresa Laura Pivotte (on my mother's side), who told me that Kernal Clark was a tall, slim man, who worked as an Orderly at the Mental Hospital in St. George's.
Family Heritage Activity for Children
See How to Make a 3 Generation Family Tree for Kids
"Introducing your children to their heritage when they're young is a great way to stimulate their interest in family history and the relatives who came before them." (Karen Frisch)
This 'living' family tree is a great idea for a young couple who will eventually start a family, already has a growing family or for grandparents. There are six (6) tiny photo frames on the tree that you can place pictures of all the children in (or the parents and children, if the family has 4 or less children). Grandma and grandpa would just love this gift, so that they can show off their grandchildren!
Dad the DEVOUT CATHOLIC
My Dad drove his family to church every Sunday and he prayed the Holy Rosary with his family every Saturday afternoon. In later years, he preferred the Saturday evening Mass and I was lucky to have had the privilege to go to Saturday evening Mass with him for the last 2 years of his life.
As a boy, my Dad served as an acolyte and in those days, the Mass was often said in Latin. Throughout his life, he remembered every response in the Latin Mass although he never formally learned Latin.
Dad prayed his Rosary every night and he was a Third Order Dominican . He took his monthly Third Order meetings seriously and never missed a meeting. Even on days when meeting attendance was low, if only one person attended the meeting, it was sure to be my Dad.
His association with the Dominican Community was as a result of the fact that earlier in his life he wanted to become a priest. This was not possible, however, since the Catholic Church at that time did not accept persons who were born out of wedlock to become priests. So he was particularly proud when my youngest brother, Irenaeus, who is also the last of his 6 children, became a Dominican Priest.
My Dad was a real man! He prayed the Holy Rosary daily and attended to all his duties with true devotion.In this book, "David N. Calvillo narrates his own life-changing experience of the Rosary, presents a comprehensive guide to the Rosary, and offers a 33-Day Rosary Challenge." Give your father, son or other man in your life this meaningful gift.
Dad the FARMER & COOK
I still don't know how he did it but after working whole day, my Dad would wait for us to finish our extra-curricular activities at school, drive us home while attentively listening to how we had spent our day and then on arriving home he would change his clothes and go down to our land to plant something, reap something, cutlass etc.
Dad planted short crops such as yams, dasheen, sweet potatoes, green peas, sorrel, corn, sugar cane, carrots, tomatoes, various seasonings, etc. for our own home use. Dad also reared fowls, pigs and rabbits, at various times over the years, for our own home use.
We had various food and fruit trees in our land such as breadfruit, fig/banana, bluggo, plantain, seville orange, soursop, sapodilla, french cashew and mango. There were cocoa and nutmeg trees and the crops from these were sold to the Cocoa Association and Nutmeg Association, respectively, in order to supplement his salary.
As children, we had to help with shelling green peas, breaking clove, picking up nutmegs, separating the mace from the nutmegs, removing cocoa beans from the cocoa pod etc.
I don't have earlier photos of him in the garden but this is a lovely one taken by my oldest brother, Raphael, with 2 of Dad's grandchildren - Octavia (named after Dad's mother) and Andreya - in April 2009 (Dad at age 80 he took 81 in September of 2009).
My Dad cured and baked our Christmas ham every year! That ham was THE BEST! He also baked bread weekly and helped my Mom mix the heavy cakes, such as the Christmas Black cake.
For our Church's annual breakfast everyone wanted my Dad, Mr. Vincent, to prepare smoke herring because my Dad would take his time and de-bone that smoke herring with all those fine bones and season it up. When it reached the Church breakfast, it was gone in no time at all.
My Dad had a Seiko watch like this one and when he was in the hospital, he took it off and gave it to me for safe keeping. When he passed away, I resized it to fit my hand. For me it is a priceless heirloom!Make this Seiko solar watch an inheritance piece in your or someone else's family.It does not require batteries, has "a protective Hardlex crystal dial window, features day and date and is water-resistant to 30 m (99 feet)."
Until We Meet Again Dad!
They say that "In cherished thoughts and memories, loved ones never really depart." I believe it because, even as I write this tribute to my Dad, close to 4 years have passed since his death and I feel him ever present in my heart. I ask God and my Dad for help when I'm stuck with a problem, I brain-storm with them, I tell them about my joys and my disappointments and I ask them to help me, pray for me, guide me and protect me.
I hold on to four (4) precious reminders of him - his Seiko watch (which I resized to fit me), his Rosary (which I use to say my daily Rosary), his 4-week Psalter of the Liturgy of Hours (which I use to say my morning prayers) and the last Christmas Card that he gave me in 2009.
And I know in my heart that Dad is busy in Heaven praising God and still trying to watch over his family.

Share 1 memory of your father (alive or dead) that you hold dear!
Wonderful tribute to an obviously very fine person.
This was a really moving, inspirational lens. It really deserved that purple star! Your dad sounded like a wonderful, one-in-a-million man and he sure accomplished a lot in his lifetime :) not least his loving family who clearly cherished him :)
My father is still alive. He always had a sense of humor. Our fathers were born about the same time ... mine was born in 1929. They certainly saw a lot of changes in their lives, didn't they?
What a great tribute. Your dad, i think, would be humbled by what you have written and proud of you as his daughter... Thank you for taking the time to create this lens.
What a wonderful tribute to your dad - I'm sure he was very proud of you. Coincidentally, I just came across my late father's watch and thought about resizing it to fit my wrist-you've convinced me to do it.
Absolutely beautiful tribute to your father. Enjoyed every bit of it, especially the photos. My Dad just turned 86, and we are quite proud of him.
Dear Heidi, Thank you so much for writing such a beautiful tribute to your wonderful dad! He was clearly one of the finest men to walk on our planet, and I'm sure he's completely aware and beaming that you have honored him this way. My dad, who is (thankfully) still living, was born only 4 months earlier than your dad (4/29/28), of immigrant parents. I have asked him so many times what he can tell me of his family, even our original name before it was changed, but he cannot. I only know snippets of my mother's Russian ancestry as well - and she was also 1st generation US. It saddens me a little that I'll probably never find out anything about my past other than what little was told to me in stories. Thank you for sharing your family with me. God bless! :) Kath
What a beautiful tribute to a man who cared for his family so much. There are angels in heaven and I'm sure he is one of them. Blessings on a beautiful tribute.
Beautiful tribute lens, Heidi! How nice to have his Seiko watch resized to fit you. Wonderful history and memories! My Dad was very loyal and had a volunteer job with the Sons of the Veterans of the USA Civil War of the USA Flag. He taught us to respect the USA Flag and be true to your faith and religion.
A great and very loving tribute to your Dad! Thanks for sharing.
A lovely tribute to your Dad. I remember my Dad made home made ice cream. It tasted so wonderful.
What an awesome tribute lens. I have also lost my Dad. A memory of my Dad is taking family vacations.
What a lovely tribute to your father. Looking at you from heaven, he must be feeling proud now. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Fresh Start for sharing your dad and your family with us. He is truly a model for men today to emulate.
I wrote a tribute for my dad too. He died at just 60 years... way too young. I remember he never went to church although mom asked every Sunday if he'd like to come with us. He would say maybe next week. For 30 years mom asked, when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, he finally said yes. He used to tell us that Momma would get him into heaven some day and we scoffed. Seems like at the end God gave him time to get it right and all her prayers did finally get him there. Thank God. Loved your lens and your story.
What a great lens I just read! A great tribute to your dad. I am pleased to read all these and thank you for sharing those old family photographs.
A very worthy and loving tribute.
You sure did a great job writing this tribute for your dad. You made me remember my dad and tears just started to flow. I will follow your example and make a lens about him as well. thank you for the insiration.
So moving, truly a tribute that could only be done by a loving daughter.
Wonderful tribute and the detail of your Dads family history. Getting all this on the internet is a great way to preserve these memories. Have you tried putting in these stories into ancestry.com? It's another great way to preserve
Sweet sweet lens Freshstart. I love seeing the photos you've included. My dad died in December of 2010. We were blessed to have them so long.
A wonderful tribute to your dad thank you for sharing. I lost my dad in 1998, and there isn't a day that goes by that I still think about him. Every year my dad would take me shopping for school clothes, this is something I will always remember.

NEW YORK (OCN) — In a previous article from June 2008, you learned about the Benefits of Cutting Off Your Penis.
Today, we will be discussing How To Safely Remove Your Penis. As you can see from the previous article, when a male removed their penis, they benefited from reducing their chances of catching germs and disease.
The safest way to have one's penis removed is to have it done by a surgeon in a hospital. Since one can get germs and infection performing it themselves, a surgeon is the best way.
Unfortunately, not everyone has access to health insurance or the surgery isn't covered by their insurance provider so they must take the act upon themselves to eliminate the expensive hospital fees.

You are young – 30 is young! In my humble opinion, it is harder to change careers or career paths as time goes by (get older!) and so my advice to you is if you are interested in programming – go for it. I have been a programmer for over 20 years now and have worn many different career hats as a programmer (analyst, project/team leader, dba work, etc.). You can continue to learn in this career or stick with the same thing/language if you so choose. Personally, I find it best to continue to learn and so thus having the opportunity to move around to different positions/jobs within a company or changing companies. Programming is a challenging job – it's much more than making the code work – it's very tedious, though and not for those who are not detail oriented.
1. Does anyone here have any opions on changing paths at this point in my life or anyones life ??
>>>"… this point.." – you have so many more years to work – don't get stuck in a rut where you are 1) bored and 2) no job security. Job security is important and finding the career that provides that as well as self-satisfaction is the key.
2. What do you see has the best way to learn. IE( Quickcerts.com ) Where you by the MCSD track
videos that seem to be taught in a class like environment… Or learn on your own. ??
>>>>One thought is to learn on the job – can you move into a position with your current employer where you'd be given the opportunity to learn?
3. Also What is it like trying to interview and qualify for these positions Entry level and more advanced ?
>>> like any other interview – depends on your level of experience and, of course, who is doing the interview – technical staff versus management.
4. Or would you say to just stay where I am and hope for the best ( a raise, a move to new location or just forget it too old to do such a thing. hmmmm, okay no , this is not a choice. hehehe
>>> Never just stay put if you don't have to. And, again, 30 is YOUNG!

Book Parties
Birthday (Book) Parties are geared for children ages 4 - 12. Your child will choose one of my books and we will base the theme and activities of the party around it.
For instance, does your child like art? Maybe he or she will get a kick out of an art party based on my book 'Mya Makes A Mess'. Does your child like money? He or she can be King or Queen cash as we base the party around 'The Money Tree'. If your child likes basketball, a sports themed party featuring my upcoming book 'Pick Me, Pick Me' could make your little athlete very happy! (The host child will get a signed copy of whatever book your party is based around.)
To start the party, I'll read the book your child selects - the whole book for a short picture books or a few pages for longer picture books. Then the fun activities begin! Depending on the book's theme and the ages of the children, activities might include a basketball shoot-out, designing your own money, or painting a masterpiece on a canvas! There are many more activities to choose from. Each party will include 2-3 activities.
Most of my books can be incorporated into a party theme. Your party package can include, copies of my book for each child at the party, goodie bags and custom party decor such as invitations and tableware featuring the character from my books. The possibilities are endless. If you have any ideas just let me know and we can brainstorm a special and unique 'book worm' party based on your child's interests.
Please contact me for fees and any questions you might have. I'd love to plan a fun and memorable children's event or birthday party to foster your child's love of books!
Children's Events and Birthday Parties are limited to Albany, New York and Surrounding areas.
Book Parties are also perfect for scouting organizations, boys/girls clubs, fundraising, church/synagogue youth groups, or any organization who serve children and youth.

I thought it would be fun do something a little different regarding my 2014 projects. I am sharing what I Did Not Finish this past year, along with excuses comments on why I put the project away and what my plan is for a finish. FIrst up are the quilts I really will complete.
First up is Scrappy Trip. I put this away because it felt too random for me. I was thinking I would prefer it with a consistent round of red on the outer pattern of each square. In retrospect, I think the "randomness" is nice and I will definitely be putting this quilt at the top of my UFO's to finish list.
I truly thought my Dresden Plate quilt would have made it to a finish in 2014. The reason this is still in the works is an issue with the background fabric. I have all my blocks done, and all that remains is to construct the lattices and borders. The problem is, I have no idea what I did with the reserved background fabric. I was pretty sure it was Moda's "Fig Tree Cream", so I ordered more yardage. When it came, it is just a bit off. I think I just need to make up my mind that a man going by on a bus wouldn't notice the difference in the dye lot and just put the darn thing together.
This is Flowering Snowball, a quilt I absolutely will finish in 2015. A dear friend gave me these delicious Kaffe Fasset pink fabrics and I ordered a Flowering Snowball template to make the blocks. The quilt ultimately will go to my Queen of Pink, Eva. I love making the blocks and think the overall effect is fabulous.
Give It Your Best Dot, a pattern from an APQ magazine. I will finish this one. I just got excited about getting started with the Quick Curve Ruler and put this one away.
Sigh. I know. This is Victory Star. I love the blocks, and it is a major guilt trip for me that this doesn't have the star border on yet. The color palette is just so drab. I think it is the golden tan background fabric of the blocks that I don't love. I need to finish this. It will be beautiful quilted and folded over a leather chair in the library.
This is my Pineapple Quilt made from my entire stash of red and cream French General fabrics. This may be a Lifetime Work, as it takes forever to make a block. I just get bored with working on it for any really prolonged period of time. The finished results will be an heirloom worthy treasure, so I need to at least vow to make a block or two every month and get this together.
This next quilt is one that may or may not ever get finished.
It is Maison Bleue, a quilt I made with a fabric collection I loved and have hoarded for years. I got bogged down when I was arranging the blocks. I just could not get a pleasing arrangement to save my life. I still do like the fabric and the block design is very nice, so I really should make this one a Finish. Perhaps if I get the blocks out and throw them up on the design wall, everything will come together. I could also pick my favorite blocks and make a big table runner for my Dad's enormous dining table.
Finally, here are three quilts that will not be finished ever, at least in their current format.
Don't be shocked. I have made four or five of these hand appliqued Orange Peel blocks using an amazing fabric collection I adore. I just do not have it in me to do a hand applique project that will take me a year or more to complete. I love the Orange Peel block however and am going to figure out how to piece or applique this block on the machine. This fabric collection is Fancy by Lily Ashbury and is too gorgeous to waste.
This was my biggest fail of 2014. A tragedy in fact. This was a Quick Curve Ruler project that I took liberties with. I changed up the pattern with disasterous results. Nothing came together, and the quilt was a complete mess. I could not live with it and didn't have the strength to try to fix it. I threw it in the garbage. Yes I did.
Last is Canned Pears. I made all the blocks, which I found fussy to construct, and just do not feel the love. They will not be going together to make a quilt that will live at my house.
So there you have it, What I Didn't FInish in 2014.

With experience that bridges high school and higher education, leader from Princeton Review and College Board is poised to help MTC change the paradigm for students
Mastery Transcript Consortium (MTC) today announced that Stacy Caldwell, formerly Chief Product Officer at Princeton Review and a seasoned professional in the field of education, has been named its executive director, effective February 5, 2018. Caldwell will succeed Patricia Russell, who has served as interim executive director since June of 2017 and will remain a member of MTC's leadership team.
"Stacy brings to our Consortium an exceptional understanding of the intersection of preparation for college and college admissions. With her wealth of experience, she will offer rare and powerful insights into the forces shaping the industry that often defines and limits the educational opportunities high schools offer to learners," said Scott Looney, board chair and founder of MTC, in a letter to membership. "Our MTC Board is deeply grateful to Trish for her leadership during the past year and for her wisdom in helping us to identify Stacy as MTC's next executive director."
Changing the "Goal-Line" of Secondary Education
Most recently serving as Chief Product Officer for The Princeton Review (TPR), Caldwell was responsible for the company's ongoing innovation and development of education solutions for individuals, high schools, and colleges. Prior to her work with TPR, Caldwell served as vice president for the SAT Suite of Assessments, playing the lead role during the most recent redesign of the SAT—including working with a wide-ranging set of partners in both high school and higher education. Her previous roles include business and instructional technology positions at SCORE! Educational Centers and Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions and consulting roles at Bain & Company and Arthur Andersen. Caldwell's own academic career includes an undergraduate degree from Harvard and an MA in Education and an MBA from Stanford. She will bring to the MTC a deep knowledge of the challenges it faces and influence it can have.
"Bravo! It's hard to imagine someone better suited to lead the Mastery Transcript Consortium than Stacy Caldwell," commented Andy Calkins, director of Next Gen Learning Challenges at EDUCAUSE and a member of MTC's Advisory Council. "The high school transcript, like the SAT, has enormous influence—both direct and indirect—on the goals and practices of K-12 education in the U.S. It urgently needs a thorough redesign to make it a better fit with the skills students need to thrive in the 21st century. Stacy led the redesign of the SAT at the College Board–an important undertaking, but that was just for practice. Now she'll lead an initiative with the potential to fundamentally change the goal-line of secondary education, and all for the better."
Planning the Future
Caldwell says that among her first priorities are getting to know educators at member schools and working alongside the teachers and changemakers who will design the digital Mastery Transcript. Her vision includes bringing the transcript to public schools as well as private schools and helping educators use it as they prepare students for the world they will graduate into, whether college or career.
"This is an exciting time to lead this Consortium, both because of where it is and where we are in education today," said Caldwell. "With a new transcript in development, a growing and energetic membership base, and ongoing work with private and public schools, MTC is in a unique position to help change how students prepare for college, get admitted to college, and even develop skills for their future careers. I've seen firsthand how the current model does not serve students and am excited to work with teachers who will lead the charge to design a new transcript that more fully supports innovative education models. I'm thankful to Scott, Trish, and MTC's entire leadership for taking up this important cause."
MTC consists of 160+ member schools who seek to develop and distribute an alternative model of assessment, crediting, and transcript generation. Members are committed to presenting an authentic picture of the whole student and demonstrating a mastery of skills, knowledge, and habits of mind, rather than displaying traditional letter grades, which they believe undermine the learning process and create high-stress environments for students and their teachers. The Consortium was founded in March 2017 and was awarded the Collaborative Innovation Grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation.
"It has been an enormous privilege to have served as a member of the MTC Board of Directors and more recently, as the interim executive director," said Russell. "I'm grateful to Scott Looney and his Hawken School colleagues for founding the MTC and inviting Phillips Academy to participate. With Stacy's experience and leadership, the MTC is poised to help schools to better fulfill their mission of creating opportunities for young people to grow and learn. Working with and learning from people across so many schools is inspiring and gives me incredible hope in young people and their futures."
Russell had previously served as dean of studies, as a science teacher, and in other roles at Phillips Academy Andover for 28 years. Under Russell's leadership, membership has rapidly expanded, an MTC staff team formed, and educators took part in MTC member meetings throughout the country to start building the new transcript.
About Mastery Transcript Consortium
The Mastery Transcript Consortium (MTC) is a collective of high schools organized around the development and dissemination of an alternative model of assessment, crediting, and transcript generation. Together we hope to change the relationship between preparation for college and college admissions and between learning and career readiness. If your school is not currently a member but is interested in joining, please get in touch. For more information on MTC, please visit mastery.org.

This article is about mapping—about charting dominant ways of seeing and understanding place, and the interruption of those ways. The argument traces a twentieth-/twenty-first-century culinary journey from Sri Lanka, through the Strait of Malacca, to the Pacific Ocean. Critical destinations on this route include the port cities of Colombo, Malacca, and Singapore. The journey, however, is not predominantly one shaped by oceans, nations, or the urban fabric of cities. Instead, we enter the "private" spaces of domestic kitchens to record glimpses of "mixed" food practices, characteristic of local Eurasian and Peranakan (Straits Chinese) communities. Drawing on traditional family dishes recorded in "cultural retrieval" cookbooks, the argument speculates that food discourses and meanings embedded in kitchens' everyday practices evade incorporation into the national culinary imaginary simply as representative of a "Sri Lankan," "Malaysian," or "Singaporean" heritage. Instead, the marriage of ingredients and distinctive flavors recorded in Peranakan and Eurasian recipes begs some unraveling of their complex histories. Within the intimacy of "mixed" marriages and the legitimacy of "mixed" cuisines, the article teases out how "the food of love" (Hutton 2000, 2007) becomes a powerful signifier of cuisine, tradition, memory, identity, and place—through and beyond the parameters of the "national." Here, Yi-Fu Tuan's "fields of care" (1979) provide rich possibilities for meditation on alternative ways to chart territories of difference and intimate connection, and to acknowledge, within these territories, the ghostly labor of mothers, aunts, and servants.

Damage Done 2018 World Series Champions photo 14x11 Framed.
This was the second World Series match-up between the two franchises, after the Red Sox defeated the Brooklyn Robins (later known as the Dodgers) in five games in 1916.
The Red Sox beat the Dodgers in five games to win their fourth World Series title in 15 years dating back to 2004, and their ninth in franchise history. Steve Pearce won the World Series Most Valuable Player Award, while Alex Cora became the fifth first-season manager,and first manager from Puerto Rico, to win the World Series. The Series was notable for its third game which went for 18 innings, a World Series record.
The 2018 Sox were a complete and athletic team, balanced in every facet of the game. They led Major League Baseball in batting average (.268), runs (876), hits (1,509) and ERA (3.75). Stars like Mookie Betts, J.D. Martinez, Chris Sale and Andrew Benintendi were paired with 35-year-old and World Series MVP Steve Pearce and ALCS MVP Jackie Bradley Jr. to make up one of the most relentless Sox teams in history. And maybe even in all of baseball.

The common theft of our most valued items is a serious problem that has become more prevalent throughout the years. When a person spends their hard-earned money to purchase a new vehicle, he or she wants to ensure that their valuable item will be protected. In reference to this pervasive need, insurance companies are making attempts to modify policies that have fallen short for consumers in the past.
To bridge the gap, National Theft Search and Recovery is providing an easy solution. By working closely with law enforcement agencies across the country, we are able to provide the following benefits that enable you to keep your vehicle free from the hands of criminals:
1. Crime Education and Awareness
Through National Theft Search and Recovery's educational platform, our customers and associates have online access to helpful tutorials. Our simple, informative videos will provide details, examples and the benefits included with our coverage. Members will also be happy to know that special reports and newsletters related to these tutorials will be available directly to their mailbox as well.
National Theft Search & Recovery's educational website also provides a risk-free Assessment Test. This test will help users to determine their level of vulnerability in relation to fraud and crime. Our approach will be steadfast in sending the most updated special reports on fraud and theft.
2. Fully Managed Recovery Services
One of the most beneficial services offered by National Theft Search & Recovery is the guidance of a trusted and experienced recovery advocate. If any of our clients become a victim of identity theft, they will immediately be assigned an advocate that works personally on their behalf. The assigned advocate will have the full responsibility of returning the victim to their pre-theft status. For the client, there is no paperwork or legal matters to attend to personally. All of the necessary documentation will be cross checked both offline and online. After carefully planning and executing a strategy to return you to your pre-theft status, all documents are saved and stored accordingly, to be at your disposal.
3. Benefits for Victim & Family
Regarding the aforementioned identity theft recovery services, the victim and their immediate family will also be overnighted a Recovery Package. This package will include all instructions and further documentation necessary to effectively begin the process.
Your advocate will assist with notifying all respective credit bureaus and financial organizations about the identity theft. In the secondary stages of filing a police report, one will find these initial steps to be advantageous. Simultaneously, government agencies will also be notified. The resources that extended for these services illustrate the long-term benefits on securing your costly assets.

Questions to ask yourself about surgery and drugs
Can I get the surgery soon?
Can I afford the medical treatment ?
Am I young enough to have the surgery?
Am I healthy enough for the surgery?
Do I have access to a medical facility?
Can I tolerate the drugs prescribed?
If you answered yes to ALL of the above, then do get the standard surgery/drug, but consider augmenting with Alternative Medicine
If you answered no to any of the above, then consider Alternative Medical options, such as
Get a high level of vitamin D (as supplements or lots of time in the sun)
Take supplements appropriate for the medical problem
Lose weight
Eat better
Reduce stress
Use medical tourism (typically 1/3 but can be as low as 1/10 the cost in the US)
Physical Therapy, Feldenkrais, Yoga
Hypnosis, NLP
Whole Body Vibration (reduce falls)
Use an air cleaner (improve breathing)
Use Low Level Laser Therapy reduce lymph build-up etc.
I (Henry Lahore) have tried and used many alternative medical options, such as the ones above.
Only vitamin D has provided me, and many others, with powerful and quick treatment for a wide variety of problems
Others also believe that vitamin D is great
- Patients like me survey found vitamin D to be number one supplement - across ALL problems
- Overview Pain and Vitamin D Includes a wide variety of chronic and acute pains,
- All items in category After Surgery or Trauma
256 items
- All items in Cost Savings and Vitamin D
134 items
- HMO Benefit and risk
- Pregnancy is far less expensive with vitamin D
Having lots of vitamin D
- reduces many chronic pains
- allows the body the heal itself of some diseases
- reduces the progress of some diseases
- apparently increases many different "growth factors", which help in healing
How much is a high level of vitamin D?
Minimum of 40 nanograms, preferably 50 nanograms and perhaps > 80 nanograms.
How to go about getting lots of vitamin D (under medical supervision if you can afford it)
- Make sure you are not allergic to vitamin D
take perhaps a single 1,000 IU dose and watch for an allergic reaction in the next few days
- Take a loading dose of vitamin D to get your vitamin D level high as soon as possible
Example: 20,000 IU vitamin D3 daily for a month (consider 40,000 daily if obese)
Cofactors– to increase the effectiveness of the vitamin D and balance the body
For some people the body becomes unbalanced if vitamin D is increased and cofactors such as Magnesium are not increased at the same time.
Risk Summary – approximate
1 in 10,000 people get too much vitamin D: >150 ng Toxic
1 in 50 people: vitamin D level did not get high enough
1 in 20 people: imbalance by not taking cofactors

Vitamin D testing typically not needed, but with 9 (rare) diseases it is – April 2012
How this web page came to exist May 2012
This idea started from my noticing the 6-12 month waits Canadians have for surgery.
I thought that some Canadians should trying getting lots of vitamin D to relieve pain while waiting and perhaps get some treatment.
Ken, my 99 year-old father-in-law, thought that I should extend the concept to those who are too old to get surgery.
Then I considered the half of the world who cannot afford medical treatment.
Then . . then . .then . . . this web page
Canadians wait many weeks: first see the doctor, then more weeks to see the specialist
Percentage of people having to wait more than 6 days - many countries
Vitamin D might eliminate the pain and occasionally eliminate the need for the medical treatment
400,000 IU of vitamin D reduced adult pain and improved quality of life – March 2014
If you cannot readily get medical treatment, consider Alternative Med such as vitamin D

Shares of embattled U.S. truck and engine maker Navistar International Corp. rose as much as 10% on Monday (Aug. 6) after U.S. regulators submitted a final rule on whether to allow the company to continue to pay fines to allow it to sell engines that do not meet U.S. emissions standards.
Reuters reported that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Saturday filed its final ruling on a legal mechanism that allows the company to continue to sell heavy-duty diesel engines that do not meet current U.S. emissions standards by paying fines. In a filing on a U.S. General Services Administration website, the EPA declared that it had filed its rule for review but did not disclose details of the final ruling.
"Navistar is encouraged by the submittal of the final rule to (the Office of Management and Budget) and we hope that it generally mirrors what was in the interim rule," said Navistar spokeswoman Karen Denning.
The interim rule had allowed the company to pay "non-conformance penalties" when it sold engines that did not meet regulatory standards, a move that hurt its profit margins but kept its sales up.
According to Reuters, Navistar shares rose $1.92 to $24.31 on the New York Stock Exchange, after earlier climbing as high as $24.77.
Robert Wertheimer, an analyst at Vertical Research Partners who covers the company, said investors had been concerned about the ruling.
"That's one of the big risks overhanging the stock," Wertheimer said, adding that until the EPA discloses what the final ruling is "I can't see that it's a positive or a negative."
An EPA spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Lisle, Illinois-based company last week told some 3,400 salaried workers that it would consider layoffs as a way of lowering its expenses, Denning also said.
Navistar shares have lost about 41% of their value this year as the company has failed to win EPA approval for a new generation of diesel engines before this month changing course and saying it would work with Cummins Inc. to adopt a more mainstream technology.

Sun shop stays loyal with Solaris Containers
The Solaris Containers virtualization feature in Solaris 10 has given one Sun shop the flexibility it needs to upgrade its production ERP and Web applications at its own pace.
Longtime Sun Microsystems Inc. shop Kichler Lighting was able to keep its production Web and enterprise resource planning environment on Solaris, thanks to the Containers virtualization feature of the Solaris 10 operating system.
Solaris Containers is an example of operating system virtualization, in which a single operating system is partitioned into several soft partitions. Other examples of operating system virtualization include SWsoft Virtuozzo and its open source counterpart OpenVZ.Containers keeps Web, ERP upgrades on track
For Kichler Lighting, Containers has enabled IT to make upgrades without having to shed its Unix platform simultaneously. About two years ago, Kichler Lighting embarked on its tri-annual hardware refresh cycle, said Mike Sink, director of IT infrastructure at the Cleveland-based decorative lighting manufacturer, and considered whether it made sense to keep its BEA Systems WebLogic Server and PeopleSoft applications on Solaris or whether to move to IBM AIX or another platform. But the firm was reluctant to move away from the tried-and-true Unix platform.
For one thing, Kichler was also in the middle of a storage virtualization project in which it hosted IBM and EMC disks behind IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC). Undertaking a concurrent switch to IBM AIX "would have required retraining our staff; it would have been too much," Sink said.
So Kichler found another option. Thanks to a backward compatibility feature in Solaris 10, he discovered that Kichler could still run legacy versions of its BEA and PeopleSoft applications in a container while the IT department tested newer versions. "The business really wants to get to the latest version of PeopleSoft, and Containers give us a lot of flexibility to create dev and test environments that we'll use for now, then throw away," Sink said.
Kichler went ahead and purchased fewer, more robust systems, consolidating upward of 40 systems onto 10. Currently, Kichler has about 85 applications running in Containers, a number that's growing daily, Sink said. Previously, systems would run clustered at about 15% utilization, Sink reported; today, Kichler's clustered 12-way Sun Fire E2900 servers run at about 65% to 70% utilization, he said, fully loaded with 96 GB of main memory.
Storing applications in a container has also given Kichler better availability, Sink reported. Back in the days of one application to one server, it would take Kichler about four hours to recover from a system crash; it had to restore the entire system. With the app running in a container, a restoration takes about 15 minutes, including the time it takes to retrieve application data off of tape, Sink said.
Compared with the more pervasive host-based virtualization platforms such as VMware Inc.'s ESX Server and Xen, applications running on Containers must all be on the same operating system and patch level. This limitation aside, operating system virtualization is known to deliver low overhead and good performance.
But last month, Sun announced Solaris Containers for Linux, previously known as BrandZ, which may minimize some of the inflexibility of Containers. With it, Sun Solaris users will be able to run unmodified Red Hat and CentOS Linux applications in a Container without having to recompile.
Save a few Linux-based hardware appliances, Kichler doesn't run much Linux in its shop, so it probably would not have use for the new capability. But its availability may make Solaris Containers an interesting alternative to VMware-style virtualization for large Sun shops looking to consolidate their systems.

I love my SPD-SL pedals and cleats. It baffles me that power meter manufacturers continue to favour Look Keo style cleats. I'm sure I could use Keos but have heard of the dreaded squeaky issues and have been hesitant to ever try them. Anyway, looks like a good option otherwise. Really the easiest way to transfer between bikes these days.
The Assioma Duo pedals represent a massive evolution of Favero's foray into cycling power meters, being vastly superior to its previous BePro pedals. They're better value than Garmin's new Vector 3s with no real compromises, so well worth the spend if you want power measurement that's easily transferred from one bike to another.
- Pros: Very light, easy to set up, transferable in seconds, easy to charge and maintain
- Cons: No SPD-SL versions, still an expensive purchase (as all currently available power pedals are)
The Assiomas are offered as one-sided versions for less than £500, but the Duo versions I have on test here claim to offer more accuracy, within +/-2%, which is similar to many other smart trainers and power meters.
In the box you get the pedals, an 8mm pedal hex key for fitting and the charging cables, which magnetically clip to the pedals (similar to Garmin watches) so you can charge them via USB. This is very handy and for me much better than cell battery operation, particularly as you can check the charge percentage if you connect the pedals to the Assioma app via Bluetooth. They also last about 50 hours on a full charge, so it hardly needs thinking about that often, and they automatically switch themselves off to save power when not in use (to wake them up you touch the pods or turn your cranks).
You use the app to set up your crank length, check your charge and download firmware updates, the latter being the only thing you really need to keep on top of to have the pedals running accurately every time (unless you swap to a bike with different sized cranks, then obviously that has to change). Also included are some Keo-compatible cleats courtesy of Xpedo, which are a bit flimsier than the Look versions but perfectly usable. Unfortunately there are no Shimano SPD-SL versions of the pedals for those who prefer this system.
Plug and go
The BePro pedals required the use of a special tool to fit them and an exact torque according to their manual, whereas the Assiomas can just be fitted with any 8mm wrench and are just plug and go. The recommended torque is 35-40Nm, standard for most pedal/crank combinations. If you just make them pinch-tight they don't pick up as accurately.
Another thing to be aware of is the supplied washers: you get four included in the box, which in most cases you won't need unless your cranks have a 'recessed seat'. In plain speak, just check that the sensors aren't too close to your cranks, and if they are, stick a washer in between them.
The Assiomas pair using Bluetooth or ANT+, so can be used in conjunction with pretty much any head unit or phone. I chopped and changed between using them with a Garmin 1030, Polar M460 and Wahoo Elemnt Bolt during my test period, and found the pedals were picked up consistently fast every time.
Your computer will pick up the two pedals individually (most will prompt you by asking if there is another pedal to pair after setting up the first one) and then it's recommended to do a zero offset calibration before each ride to ensure the best level of accuracy. Check the instructions on your head unit to find out how to do this.
Power away
To ride, the Assiomas are perfectly stable underfoot and comparable to any other lightweight road pedal. The Q-factor (the distance between the pedals) is 54mm, 1mm more than Garmin's new Vector 3s, so the pods don't really make any practical difference to the ride whatsoever in my experience. Each pedal weighs just under 150g, the lightest power pedals you can currently buy. They're also completely waterproof, and after using them in all conditions including bucketing rain for a couple of months, I can report they're still in perfect working order.
I used the pedals alongside a Powertap hub outdoors and a Wattbike Atom indoors to compare the results. On the graphs you can see here, against the Wattbike with three short interval bursts, you can see that the Assiomas are very consistent but run slightly low during the peaks in power and for the average power overall.
Cadence is nearly identical too, and on my rides against the Powertap hub I got very similar results, with the Powertap just recording the wattage slightly more generously each time.
> 6 reasons you should use a power meter
Favero says the accuracy is unaffected in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 60°C (good to know just in case you want to use them in a freezer or a sauna), and I found they were consistent whatever the weather. One thing I did notice was that they can take a while to react when there are big differences in temperature between rides, such as when I went from using them indoors to heading outside in the cold for the next ride. I found it was best to wake them up and leave the bike in the ambient temperature I'd be riding in before doing the calibration about five minutes later.
The Assiomas aren't designed to be used with Rotor Q-Rings, whereas Powertap's P1 pedals are optimised to support the use of non-conventional chainrings.
You can also go cheaper – if you don't mind a bit of DIY and are happy to swap your cranks, there's the double-sided Watteam Powerbeat power meter for £375.
Overall, though, I was very impressed with the Assiomas and at the moment, factoring in value, accuracy and usability, I'd say they're the best power pedals you can buy. Perhaps those black pods could shrink a bit in the future, and accuracy can improve, but the style and function are top notch.
A big step forward in pedal-based power and very easy to use, at a currently unbeatable price point

Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
From the Favero website:
Weight: 150g per pedal
Charger magnetically clips to the pedal spindles with USB to connect to power source
50 hours of operation off a single charge
Start&Stop technology, automatically switching pedals off when not in use to save power
54mm Q factor
Set up via the Assioma app
Dual-sided power
ANT+ and bluetooth
Completely waterproof
The housing for the rechargeable bit does increase Q factor slightly, but I didn't find it noticeable when riding. Otherwise they're sturdy enough and impressively light.
Reliable, accurate (compared to our reference power meters) and easy to set up.
Pedals working fine after three months of use with no aesthetic damage – the Keo-style cleats won't last long, though.
The lightest power pedals you can get and lighter than most standard pedals – hugely impressive.
Wider than a Look Keo pedal but narrower than Shimano's SPD-SL, they feel fine underfoot.
Still too big a spend for the casual weekender, but that's not who these are for: they're currently the best value dual-sided power pedals you can get.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Great. They're a huge improvement on Favero's previous power pedals and were shown to be pretty accurate in comparison tests.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
How easy it is to switch between bikes and devices, the app, the low weight, the charging method... most things, basically!
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Temperature changes affected calibration, and the pedals took time to catch up; no SPD-SL versions; and the pods don't look quite as clean as a normal axle, and very, very marginally increase Q-factor.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Yes
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes
Use this box to explain your overall score
At the moment, factoring in value and performance, I'd say these are the best power pedals you can buy. Maybe if the pods shrunk a bit to make them more aesthetically pleasing that would be the icing on the cake, but the style and function are excellent.

I have the Powertap P1 and they are indeed very easy to setup and get on and off the bike.
I heard that they all provide Keo compatibility because of licensing/patents issues with SPD-SL.
Favero recently posted a photo on Facebook which shows that all the electronics is in the axle. In theory they could provide different bodies, even for mountain bike SPD.
In correct! Their Be Pros do not require the accurate torque setup. That is a true pain of the Garmin vector pedals. They do however require a special spanner ( supplied).
Love my BePro pedals. Can swap between bikes in a few minutes. And much lighter than the bulky Powertaps! And don't have the tricky setup of the vectors!
One thing that is an issue with them is that the axle body ( electronics in it) gets easily marked, but it is purely superficial.
To keep mine looking good I just put a small bit of an old tube over it.
not sure if the new ones suffer from this minor scuff problem?
Have had the single sided version since the summer. had no problems at all. they have worked flawlessly so far.
i wasnt sure about the swtich to keo style cleats as i had used SPD-SL's before that. TBH i couldnt tell the difference.
battery seems to last for ages too.
If they can put the power meter on the pedal axel I fail to see why that Limits power meter did not work. I Want to be able to use a pedal based meter with my Speedplay pedals and have the ability to move it to a new bike.
I could be wrong but I think I saw somewher LIMITS has 4 strain guages whereas most PM's have 8. It would explain I think why when I used Limits it'd drop out out down hills Got myself a Be Pro S now and I'm very happy with it apart from being restricted to Keo's

Partly because there's a big difference between theory and practice.
Check out powermeter24
2 to 4 week delivery at the mo.
Favero has no stock on its own site
Clevertraining.uk seems to permnantly 'due in stock 2 weeks from now'
It was the same with the bepro's AFAIK, good product, but cant make enough of them and/or get them to suppliers.
The Vector 3s are due mid December, I'm tempted to hang on for them now, lighter, less sticky out bits and has the cycling dynamics stuff.
I have some of these (delivered last week) which I bought from Clever Training Europe with the DCR discount. I've used them quite a bit on the trainer and been really impressed. Very easy to set up and don't require any formal calibration other than a zero offset every now and again. Saves me having to spindown my Kickr snap.
Stock level are an issue as it took them about a month to arrive. I would however say they are well worth the wait and reletive to other strain gauge power meters no too expensive.
Current Garmin Vectors no longer require a particular torque setting.
Thanks we're aware of this, check back for a review of Vector 3's in the coming weeks!
Not aimed at you Jack, twas for bgw's benefit ...
"Their Be Pros do not require the accurate torque setup. That is a true pain of the Garmin vector pedals"
Do they tell you the difference between left and right leg?
I'm right handed/footed so I often try to "mindfully" use a bit more oomf on my left leg because I reckon my right will just naturally "follow through" with similar or more power – with these it could be possible to tell.

James Ward review, written by a reader:
James tragically died alone, in the way many of his friends feared. He had serious alcohol addiction issues. Issues that he felt were compounded by the heartless way he was treated by the peebs. Without doubt he had every reason to feel he was being denied the love of his family, by the strictures of the peebs, it was hard for him to maintain any hope.
James had a successful business (QC Publications) when in fellowship, publishing a car parts price guide. He was feted by the leaders, and considered suitable material to emigrate to strengthen a small position. He fancied San Francisco. I don't know how the move came to not happen. His business was ideally suited to adapt to new technology, a phone app or similar. Due to the peeb prohibition on such stuff, the business slowly died, tho he had acquired a fair bit of capital from it in the meantime.
James liked the ladies, and was withdrawn from because he used his spare time to play away from home. I'm not clear of the exact timing of events after that, but at some point his wife Jenny and children were out of felly and with him, but they all went back. On his own admission to me, his addiction to alcohol played a part in their return to the peebs. James struggled to come to terms with this, and took refuge in a diet of 75% white wine. Previously (while in the peebs) he had been convicted of drink-driving, then nine and a half years later he committed a very serious drink-driving offence, for which he was sentenced to eight months in prison. On his release he was left in a situation where he was mostly at home alone – and soon drinking again. A move to Marbella gave him a break. He could drive again in Spain (by some strange quirk in the Law), his brother Charlie and other friends lived there, and he some good times. But he had relapses when he would drink himself senseless and push away all who tried to help him. Tragically he died of a massive heart attack alone (as he insisted) in his appartment, and was not found til days later.
The story of his burial is another shocking account of continuing peeb insensitivity and unkindness.

Siggraph returns to LA and the clans gather from all over the world
Siggraph is a hardy organization built from the work of true-believing volunteers working within the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) is addicted to LA.
Los Angeles, home to the US movie industry and big chunks of the game development, advertising, and other graphically oriented industries, brings money to the strained coffers of Siggraph so it can take its show on the road, back east where young graphics professionals are eager to show what they can do, to Europe where the adventurous scientists push explore immersive 3D and augmented reality, and to Asia where graphics meets robotics and force feedback. Hollywood is a big spender, but it isn't always the great innovator.
Movies stars, swimming pools, LA hosts Siggraph 2012 (Source: JPR)
France is coming to the show with a group of freshly incubated companies from business cluster Cap Digital and PREDA (Paris Region Economic Development Agency). Included in the bunch is 4D View with new scanning technologies, Golaem crowd simulation software, Ayotle motion capture, new renering technology from Mercenaries Engineering and many more. Twelve companies in all will be showing new technology from the Paris region.
Every year we see an explosion of new rendering companies arrive at Siggraph from all over the world. They come with big hopes, but they're leaping into a pond with some very big and very mean fish. This year clouad rendering is going to be the cool technology also, papers on real time rendering for games are going to be a be draw.
The Techtile Toolkit transmits the haptic feedback from one source to another (Source: the Tachi Lab)
In the Emerging Technologies portion of the show researchers look for the line between the digital and the real, and they try to blur that line. TachiLab The Emerging Technologies award winner comes from Tokyo's Tachi Lab. They're bringing the Techtile Toolkit, a method of transferring haptic feedback.
All that's what we're expecting to see, next we'll tell you what we actually did see.
