I recently ran across some photos of the primary Auckland VHF Group repeater site someone had sent me, I don't recall who. However, repeater systems are a subject that interests me, so I tend to absorb details and turn inside-out with excitement when someone offers to take me along for a site visit.
The Auckland VHF Group is located in Auckland New Zealand. Along with the Waikato VHF Group, and the Wellington VHF Group, these clubs have strong membership and skill levels. A subset of members have day jobs in RF engineering and radio communication fields. These three clubs built some great repeater systems in their respective areas.
They would also outreach into other areas and help clubs get well engineered repeater systems up and running. Most of this work was done in the mid '80s, during what was arguably the heyday of ham radio clubs when memberships peaked.
Getting back to the Auckland VHF Group, they built a repeater site named Klondyke after the road it's on. Located at Port Waikato on the west coast, it's about 40 miles south west of Auckland city.
This site served as the Auckland end of the 70cm [430MHz] national link when first built which linked to Wellington [Belmont 439.875-] about 300 miles south via one intermediate site located on Mt Taranaki [Egmont 434.900+]. Over the years it has since expanded to dozens of linked repeaters, exclusively RF linked on 70cm - NZART map here - its approximate at best. Google Map that I created here, the locations are with-in tens of feet in most cases.
With that out of the way, the point of this post is more the 2m repeater at the site. 146.625- a.k.a. "Auckland 6625", my knowledge of the equipment used is somewhat vague, but this is from what I recall of conversations I had around 10 years ago with Colin ZL1ACM who was one of the principal engineers of the site. The repeater hardware is [or was] Tait T300 gear, with two voted receivers, two exciters, two sets of duplexers, and two power amplifiers set to about 40W - This balanced the TX and RX range with typical 25W to 50W 2m mobile rigs, no one likes a repeater that talks further than it hears!.. Nothing too amazing there compared to some of the ham radio repeater systems built in the US..
Now, onto the fun part. The antenna system they built I think is an amazing feat of engineering for a ham radio club!
These are broad side collinear arrays, but rather than have resonant reflectors, they have a grid type panel behind the driven elements. The antennas were constructed from steel, the driven element stand offs [The center of a 1/2 wave dipole can be grounded with no ill effects] and dipoles are angle iron, everything - reflector panel, stand offs, and driven elements - are welded and hot dip galvanized as one piece.
There is a north bay, and a south bay [hence the two sets of receive and transmit chains], each panel has three sets of two half wave dipoles fed in phase, there are four of these panels stacked on each side. This adds up to around 18dBi of gain per side?! The beam width is 70 degrees from memory.
Above is a shot of the tower and building, HF wire antenna can be made out, this is used to transmit the monthly NZART official broadcast on 3.900MHz, as well as out on the 2m repeater and 70cm national link system.
Here is a close up with some details marked out, each of the four bays on each side is fed in at the middle set of dipoles, you can make out the crossed phasing lines.
You can also see someone climbing the tower, they moved the 70cm link yagi to Mt Taranaki [Egmont 434.900+] further up the tower as there were some pine trees near by growing up and obstructing the path
These photos are from 2009.
One of the really interesting things about this 2m repeater and its astronomical antenna gain, it is very very very sensitive to band conditions once you got around 100 plus miles away. If there was the slightest hint of a band lift, this repeater would shoot up the S meter in strength. Once it pegged at S9+30dB, it was time to start looking for band openings. Some times it would consistently swing in signal level from seconds to minutes, other times it would bottom out and disappear all together..
This repeater could be reliably worked up-to 150 miles in each direction, with the potential for 300 mile separation between stations at the opposite ends of its coverage. Much of this is over less than ideal paths, not bad considering the repeater site is only 1309ft ASL. When band lifts are present the range would easily extend beyond this.
Now some say this antenna design was borrowed from the Mt Kaukau VHF low band [45MHz and 55MHz] TV broadcast antennas, click the image below for a high res version, and look at the top, horizontally polarized for TV, but looks familiar doesn't it? The Belmont 147.100+ repeater built by the Wellington VHF Group also used antennas based on this design.

Sky Rogue
|Album Title:
Sky Rogue
|Record Label: The Otherworld Agency
|Catalog No.: N/A
|Release Date: February 23, 2017
Buy at Bandcamp
Last summer, Sky Rogue took the highway to the danger zone…in an ice cream truck. If the roguelike combat flight sim somehow slipped under your radar in August, just try to imagine Ace Combat with a candy-coated arcade aesthetic. Now compliment that with a chipper electronic soundtrack by Pete "Phonetic Hero" Lepley and you've got yourself an indie game seemingly destined to grace a Nintendo console sooner or later.
In fact, just two weeks ago, it did. Sky Rogue is one of most recent indie gems in the rough to call the Nintendo Switch home. Yet the indie marketplace on the Switch grows more and more cramped with each passing week, and standing apart amidst the skirmish is no easy task. Even a project as distinct as Sky Rogue will have a tough time locking onto its target audience without an ace up its sleeve.
Phonetic Hero could well be the ace Sky Rogue needs, but does this soundtrack elevate its parent project to new heights?
Sky Rogue doesn't have much fuel to burn and, even so, burns through it quickly. At roughly a half-hour's length, the album has no time to waste delivering high-octane thrills. So "Kick The Tires & Light The Fires" takes just two minutes to brief listeners on everything they'll need to know about the album. This first track is a showcase of bubbly synthwork – fizzy arps, pearly leads, and an edgy bass – undercut by beats at blistering speeds. So, too, is the rest of what's on offer in Sky Rogue – though each track manages to mix things up just enough to keep from wearing into monotony.
"Go Get 'Em Ace" cools the album's jets after the accelerated introduction, adding brass for a touch of implied heroism. "Re-Equip" keeps the album grounded in a slower tempo, evoking anticipatory moods with staccato strings and a methodical beat. From there, Sky Rogue is off to the races. "Cleared For Takeoff" electrifies the atmosphere with sky-high Moby-esque pads and adorable percussive synth arps. "Easy Cowboy" hybridizes Sky Rogue's signature sound with old western elements like guitar, church bell, and a whistling synth lead that scales the vertical limit. "Bag Season," co-created with fellow electronic musician Kubbi, takes on a wintery chill with its frosty synth bells and frigid reverb. Each of the last three tracks has a more aggressive iteration backing it up, whether through a heavier reliance on synthesized or electric bass or through more agile beats and arpeggiation. "Beaded Up" raises the stakes even further with a heavier focus on minor chords and frenzied staccato string action. Last but not least comes "Bravo Zulu," Sky Rogue's triumphant sendoff, packing in some groovy plucked string syncopation and one more wily synth solo.
Even noting these distinctions, Sky Rogue's tracks do tend to blur together, both as a consequence of the album's short length and due to the lightning speed at which it moves. On the other hand, at no point does Sky Rogue overstay its welcome. The sense of uniformity across the album precludes any rough transitions from one catchy electronic tune to the next, and the album's bite-sized proportions could only disappoint listeners clamoring for more of this riveting joyride.
Sky Rogue may RTB a little early for some listeners, but the album provides an unadulterated adrenaline rush that screams "arcade combat flight simulator!" Time will tell how the game fares on its new platform, but at least Phonetic Hero's music makes a compelling case for gamers to climb into the cockpit and log some flight hours. Regardless, the soundtrack to Sky Rogue is both smooth and exhilarating, and perfect for any pilot in search electronic music to send them soaring.

The 4th of July is a time of year for people to get together for a BBQ and to watch the fireworks. If it's your turn to host, don't feel pressured to spend all your cash on a night of entertaining your guests.
If you're wondering, "Where can I find a title pawn?" to fund your party-time patriotism, check out these easy ways to make your 4th of July party a blast without breaking the bank.
One of the easiest ways to save money on your July 4th celebration is to ask everyone in attendance to bring something to the party instead of buying all the food and drinks yourself.
Assign everyone in your party planning committee something specific to make sure you have all your bases covered. You don't want to end up with one package of hotdogs and five bags of buns. And if each guest brings a little something to the picnic table, it'll cost you way less at the end of the day.
While you may be tempted to go out and buy a whole new outfit, nothing is more patriotic than saving money. Wear your red, white, and blue without spending a lot of green this year, and don't spend too much money on something you're only going to wear once a year at best.
You probably have a variety of clothes in red, white and blue already hanging in your closet that you could pull an outfit together from. You could also check out your local thrift stores for some stars and stripes if your wardrobe is lacking in that department.
Don't let your hard-earned money go up in smoke this 4th of July! This is not to say you have to skip the fireworks entirely this year, but you don't have to shoulder the firework budget alone with so many events going on in Alabama from Greenville to Mobile.
Why not check out your local events calendar for a fireworks display near you? You and your family could enjoy a dazzling display from a safe distance, and almost all of these events are free.
This is a particularly fun activity to do with the little ones – you and your arts-and-crafters will have a blast with coloring pages and making star-shaped cutouts in red, white and blue. Check out Pinterest for a multitude of fun DIY ideas, and don't forget to share your results with friends and family on Facebook with #happy4thofJuly!
If you're feeling thrifty, it might be a good idea to stock up on 4th of July goodies for next year on July 5th when it all goes on sale. Items like clothing, home décor, partyware, and even fireworks all get marked down.
After season, most of a store's July 4th merchandise is all priced to move, so grab everything you need now and just save it for next year's celebration. This clever little life hack is something almost everyone thinks about, but not many follow through with.
A title pawn could help you come up with some extra cash in a pinch, but no matter what you're celebrating, remember that you don't have to spend a lot of cash to make it special.
Use these smart ideas and light up this year's Fourth of July celebrations without blowing a hole in your wallet. With a little creativity, there are plenty of ways to have fun this 4th of July on a budget.

WordPress Maintenance Services
bluSpider, LLC provides WordPress maintenance and support services with our WordPress Care services.
WordPress is one of the easiest CMS applications to implement; however, building a website and maintaining it are two distinct skills and for most business owners not one they understand or want to take on. As a result you'll find most sites are not up-to-date in one way or another.
What is WordPress?
WordPress is the most popular Content Management System (CMS) used to build and maintain websites. A content management system provides many of the core features and functional required to deliver content to visitors of a website. WordPress enforces a consistent look and feel across all website pages.
Three key components comprise WordPress:
- WordPress Core – the WordPress application provided by the WordPress developers.
- Themes – Templates which provide the customized look and feel of your WordPress website. A theme sets the font set, formatting, color and layout of your pages and posts
- Plugins – WordPress uses plugins, small applications to extend core functionality.
Plugins and themes are provided by WordPress or independent developers. Registering their code with WordPress a developers submits to testing against the latest versions for vulnerabilities and compatibility. Information about each plugin is maintained in the repository which makes it easy to identify release and version information, compatibility and functionality.
Following the WordPress developer guidelines enable update notifications to be pushed to every website their themes and plugins are installed. Automatic updates are possible, but can break a website if there is a conflict between installed plugins; not enabling automatic updates make it the website owners responsibility to update their sites.
What impact does not maintaining your site have?
No WordPress Maintenance may not have an immediate impact, at least not a visible one. The Internet is a dangerous place and it's only a matter of time. Hackers are constantly probing websites to determine what they are running and what they can use to break in. Vulnerabilities in core WordPress services identified during those probes making it possible to exploit your site.
Plugin and theme vulnerabilities are reported daily and it's not just the "good guys" who get those reports. The recent security breaches at Equifax is an example of what can go wrong when a system is not patched.
While most websites don't have the influence or visibility of an Equifax that does not reduce the potential risk of a breach.
What does maintaining your site involve?
Our WordPress maintenance service, WordPress Care starts with some basic tenants of caring for and maintaining your website. WordPress Care is provided by subscription and can be customized for each client. The amount of support you want is up to you; however these routines must be done constantly to insure a measure of protection. Such tasks as:
- Schedule website backup (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Monitored update of WordPress (for major upgrades)
- scheduled plugin and theme updates
- Application of security patches to both WordPress and installed plugins
- Scheduled malware and antivirus scans
- broken link detection and correction
These services provide our customers with a level of confidence that their websites are up-to-date and secure, consistent with the latest SEO standards and a place their clients will feel safe visiting.

TOFINO, B.C. - One of the more memorable meals chef Tim May says he prepared in Tofino on British Columbia's remote West Coast was a wedding feast for a young couple who just eloped.
The newlyweds from Toronto exchanged vows on the beach, ran back to their honeymoon nest and watched as May, described locally as a culinary rock star, cooked their romantic dinner.
"It was kind of bizarre in a way because there's this couple and this is their wedding dinner," said May. "They just got married on the beach with the justice of the peace and then they come back to their little vacation home and here I am standing behind the bar cooking them dinner."
May is one of the many highly trained and visionary chefs who have migrated to the Vancouver Island coastal community known more for surfing and whale watching to contribute to a growing culinary scene that is adding more flavour to Tofino.
Located 315 kilometres west of Victoria, Tofino, population 2,000, and neighbouring Ucluelet, population 1,600, are massive tourism destinations, with their rugged coastal beauty and endless beaches. The area explodes with visitors in the summer months, with estimates of 22,000 people in the area on some days in July and August.
The growing list of award-winning restaurants is a product of the many retreats that offer visitors first-class treatment within the velvet embrace of coastal rainforests and roaring waves. But ask May and others who came to Tofino for the chance to kick back on the beach year-round, it is the locals who drive the scene, wanting it fresh, local and the best.
"Think of Vancouver Island as Europe," said May, who runs the RedCan Gourmet, an open-concept commercial kitchen where customers can interact with the chefs as they create West Coast dishes. "It's a New World Europe in a sense of the different kinds of micro climates and the farms that can grow certain things in specific areas. That's what Vancouver Island is."
Chef Lisa Ahier, who owns Tofino's SoBo, billed as sophisticated bohemian, agreed it's the locals who created and support the community's top-notch foodie scene.
"I have never seen a town with this few residents that has such a high level, consistently, of cuisine," said Ahier, who started in Tofino in 2003 with a food truck and now wins awards at her bricks-and-mortar location.
"The people who live here is why I do what I do," she said. "I set up my business 13 years ago for locals and the locals demand quality, the best fuel for their bodies. You can't fool our local clientele. They want good food that makes them feel great."
She's seen people who started in her restaurant as dishwashers and food preparation staff fall in love with the industry and open their own restaurants.
"Visitors can expect probably the freshest seafood they'll ever see," said Ahier, who recently published "The SoBo Cookbook."
"We have local people who harvest our gooseneck barnacles. Our oysters just came in 30 minutes ago. There's not a lot of transportation in our food. It's coming directly from the water to here."
May said local chefs pride themselves on working together even though they depend on the same customer base. The Tofino-Ucluelet Culinary Guild, which helps source the freshest and most in-season items for the restaurants, binds the locals, he said.
May, who has prepared meals for movie stars and Olympics Games officials, said the catering business can mean one day preparing for a wedding with hundreds of guests and the next serving a family dinner in their hotel suite.
"I'll get phone calls from a fishing guide and he'll say, 'I've got two people on board and they've caught some crab and a bit of salmon; can you cook it for their dinner tonight?'"
May said he was happy to be part of the celebration of the newlyweds who eloped.
"I did a charred rare tuna dish. I did a scallop ceviche dish. They wanted beef tenderloin and crab, like a surf and turf all in one. I did a cinnamon roast peach with some homemade ice cream for dessert."

This page will hopefully recommend fun, easy fangames to play if you haven't played any before! (What are IWBTG fangames?)
Be sure to extract the game's folder from the .zip into a "fangames" folder on your computer before playing, and keep each fangame in its own folder. The in-game controls are Shift to jump/select, Z to shoot, R to respawn, and Escape to quit. Also note that this page might be updated occasionally.
Adventure and gimmick
To start, here are some general recommendations, many of which are classified as adventure games and/or gimmick games:
If you're looking specifically for needle games, which focus on just intricate, precise spike jumps, here you go:
If you're looking specifically for avoidance games, in which you dodge bullet barrages in sync with music, here you go:
If you're looking specifically for trap or "troll" games, which are overloaded with clever and funny traps, here you go:
If you would enjoy starting with very challenging games (most people don't), or you have some fangame experience built up, here you go:
Recommendations beyond this page
This page is only a starting point; there are so many fangames to discover! Here are a few ways to find more fangames:
- Check out curated lists by Geezer, Sunbla & Zero, Paragus, Denferok, Inferno.
- Browse Delicious Fruit and search by rating, difficulty, tags, and more.
- Ask friends in the community for recommendations based on what you like.
In closing
I hope this page helps you pick good first fangames! If you want to read more about fangames and the community, check out the overview page! And if you have any suggestions for this page please tell me! I'm Patrick no. 0303 on Discord and Clockworkpat on Twitter. Thanks to shign for additional game suggestions.

The alarm this morning was set for 05:30. It was tough getting up especially as I'd been wakeful during the night. I showered, dressed, breakfasted and called Bert at 06:30. He appeared downstairs in a pair of Crocs, red tartan pyjama trousers and an ill-matching green check pyjama shirt. To say he looked odd would be an understatement. The 5 minute drive to the train station was not without event. As usual Bert left fastening his seat belt until he was actually driving and, as he did so, he almost caused an accident by swerving towards the middle of the road just as another vehicle was overtaking. This is why I was taking the train instead of having Bert drive me. He is not at his best first thing in the morning. What would I have done if he had been in an accident? I would have had to get out and hitch a lift with someone going into the village. Then the thought of Bert standing by the side of our road in that crazy outfit while all our early bird neighbours drove past rubber necking the scene made me laugh and I recovered my humour. It would have been the talk of the village before the clock struck ten. Ernie would be one of the first to hear. The lads in the garage would spread the news widely. Perhaps it would have taught Bert to fasten his seat belt before driving off.
The train journey went smoothly (lots of yawning fellow passengers) and I got to the hospital fifteen minutes before my appointment time. The nurse who was first to see me tsked when I gave her the letters from Eye Casualty. "He'll not take you" she said, meaning the surgeon. I was crest fallen. This was my fear, the worry that had kept me so wakeful the previous night. She told me to wait until she had the chance to speak with him. Five minutes later the great man entered. My nurse consulted with him. Five minutes later she was back at my side announcing, "He's going to take you! Come on. He says that eye has been clear since March!" I was delighted and rather pleased that I had kept attending Eye Casualty so that all the relevant notes were there.
Now to the actual cataract removal. A friend told me that it would be twenty minutes of discomfort but well worth it. Yet I didn't find it uncomfortable, just very, very odd. The people who carried out the procedure were lovely and the great man turned out to be pleasant and easy to talk to. He oversaw the procedure which was carried out by another. The colours and shapes that I saw as my eye was being worked over were strange and beautiful. It seemed to take a long time to prise the cataract away. (I was told afterwards that it was very dense.) I was listening to the conversation between the surgeon and the nurse as he requested instruments and I could not help giggling when he asked for "the chopper".
When all was done I was informed that it had gone very well and then I was wheeled off for coffee and biscuits and a chat with a nurse on aftercare. Bert and one of our friends picked me up and we went back to his house for lunch.
Home again, home again jiggety-jig to find most of the family already there.. Martha and Evie were very taken with my eye-dressing. Martha said I looked like a pirate. I was spoiled by everyone and now, as soon as I've posted this I'm off for a lie-down. The eye dressing doesn't come off until tomorrow and I'm excited to see what I can see.

Well, after eight episodes, we're finally at the point where this all comes together into one big culmination of pro wrestling goodness: the finals of the Mae Young Classic are (as I'm writing this) upon us, and this will be my final observation piece on the event as a whole, save for possibly some sort of retrospective depending on who's ultimately announced as having been signed by WWE in the wake of the finals and their respective fallout.

Five Women's Wrestlers Not in the Mae Young Classic Who Should've Been
With the Mae Young Classic drawing to a close later today, one thing I wanted to talk about before the final show isn't the great field of competitors in the tournament, but the competitors not in the tournament. The thing is, while the WWE has been relatively interested in women's wrestling as a thing to be given significant time on their shows for the past couple of years now, women's wrestling as a thing to take seriously has been around for a lot longer than that, between the indies and other countries, and it's worth noting that there are all sorts of stars who have come out of that environment, even if they might not be on WWE's radar for… one reason or another. So, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge a few talents who probably could have and, in an ideal world, should have been in the Mae Young Classic, but weren't for… more than likely a few reasons. Continue reading
Thoughts on… the Mae Young Classic, Episodes 7-8
For the prior recap, click right here.
When last we left the tournament, we made it down to the final eight competitors, which means we're getting down to the last six matches in this tournament, in the quarterfinals and the semi-finals. The finals proper are on Tuesday, which I'll be happily commenting on as the night progresses over on Twitter if this sort of thing interests you, but for now, let's look at the last two episodes of the Classic and how we get to what is a… fairly obvious main event for that show.
Thoughts on… the Mae Young Classic, Episodes 5-6
For the prior episode's review, click right here.
When last we left the tournament, we'd gone through the first sixteen matches, meaning we're now into the thick of the tournament proper. The next two episodes are, sadly, still going to be based around the concept of "cram four matches into a single show," that the prior set were, but we're about to get into the really good stuff here, in theory, since most of the green workers have been eliminated from the tournament. Well, with a couple of exceptions…
Anyway, let's get down to business. Continue reading
Thoughts on… the Mae Young Classic, Episodes 3-4
Welcome back to the second review of the Mae Young Classic, this time looking into Episodes 3 and 4. For those who missed the prior post, here's a handy link.
When last we left the tournament, we'd gone through the first eight matches, and so far, eight competitors have moved on to the later episodes (specifically episodes 5 and 6, which we'll get to later). This week focuses on the remaining eight matches to determine the other half of the quaterfinals competitors, and also features the debut of what is expected to be the one of the other can't miss prospects to emerge from this tournament.
Let's get down to business. Continue reading
Thoughts on… the Mae Young Classic, Episodes 1-2
Well, it's been a while, so let's ease back into things by talking about something I enjoy: serious women's wrestling.
It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who knows me that I'm a fan of wrestling in general (since it's become a running gag at this point that I use wrestling concepts to explain real world concepts, and no, that's not a joke), but one thing I love is the concept of people taking women's wrestling seriously in the US. I mean, as noted previously, I wrote a damn college paper on the subject (and got an A, so laugh all you want, shit was good), but even beyond that, it's just really cool to see wrestling become more inclusive for a larger audience of people. I mean, it's not a secret that wrestling is pre-determined at this point, and is less of an athletic competition than a complex choreography sequence; why not put in content that focuses on more than just 250-400lbs dudes beating the crap out of each other, right? Wrestling is basically live-action anime at this point, make it as diverse and colorful as you can.
As such, I've actively loved what the WWE has been doing in the past couple of years… conceptually, at least. I love the idea of the company actively attempting to make women's wrestling into an actual business driver for their brand, and while there have been some definite missteps (putting Stephanie McMahon front-and-center as the advocate for the division, everything surrounding Bayley's handling on the main roster), I love the reality that women have main evented WWE shows and Pay Per Views (or Special Events or whatever they're called now), because that's just awesome. So, as such, the idea of an entire women's tournament, featuring signed and unsigned talent from around the world under the WWE's banner, is an amazing idea, and it just so happens that the Mae Young Classic is exactly this thing.
Well… sort of, anyway.
Looking Back on… My Rant on XPW (Wrestling, 2/18/03)
My rant on XPW, or, why you can't sell the same thing over again. (I'm italicizing my modern comments since this is already bolded. Anyway, fucking XPW man. Originally a terrible, fifth-rate ECW knock-off with some of the worst "talent" in the business and a bunch of ECW castoffs, run by porn producer Rob Black, they SOMEHOW decided to just BECOME ECW, caused a shitload of problems in the Philly wrestling area, then died off when Black was run through the wringer because of "obscenity charges." This means porn with peeing and I HOPE IMPLIED murder scenes, so, yeah. Anyway, the whole sordid mess is here on Wikipedia, if you're bored, and apparently Black wants to bring it back AGAIN so God knows, we may be back here in a few years.)
(A note in advance: first, to those of you who know nothing about XPW, though I loathe plugging those I ridicule, visit xpwrestling.com to give yourself a better idea of those I write about here, if you're curious. Second, if one Mr. Black is to read this: Consider this publicity. If you want to pull a Jay Bower on me, please do, but remember to link me, god knows I could use the traffic.) (Jay Bower was some dude who wrote for Smarks.com, for reference; we'll get to him in a little bit.)

Yes, filters allow you to reduce the number of packets indicated to user mode for processing thus improving overall performance.
Note, that only unmanaged block of memory can be passed to WinpkFilter driver. To simplify marshalling STATIC_FILTER_TABLE for C# is declared to contain fixed size array of filters (256).
// Static filters table to be passed to WinpkFilter driver
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 1)]
public struct STATIC_FILTER_TABLE
public uint m_TableSize; // number of STATIC_FILTER entries
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray,SizeConst=256)] // For convinience (easier marshalling to unmanaged memory) the size of the array is fixed to 256 entries
public STATIC_FILTER[] m_StaticFilters; // Feel free to change this value if you need more filter entries
So in order to fix the marshalling error you have to change your code like this:
pFilters.m_TableSize = 7;
pFilters.m_StaticFilters = new STATIC_FILTER[256];
You pass 256 filters to drivers but only 7 are valid as indicated by pFilters.m_TableSize

Little laneway house in Calgary looks and acts big
Studio North packs a lot into 859 square feet.
More than anything else, laneway housing brings out very literal Not In My Backyard types. In some cities like Toronto, they have been proposed and opposed for decades. In Vancouver, they have a very strict bylaw controlling overlooks and privacy that is working well, but wow, it's tough. Laneway houses are always a challenge.
The design of the Withrow Laneway House aims to reflect the changing needs of Calgarians with inventive and adaptable uses of space. The compact living solutions include a built-in dining room table that folds out to accommodate large gatherings, storage space integrated into the framing of walls, and a sleeping loft in the vaulted ceiling space. During construction, the design was adapted to incorporate repurposed building materials such as windows rescued from the 2013 flood, a second-hand fire pole, and salvaged glass as clerestory windows.
The architects tell Dezeen:
"The project offered an opportunity to save one of Calgary's heritage houses while building an affordable, compact living space in the inner city," said locally based Studio North, founded by Matthew Kennedy and Mark Erickson. The income from renting the heritage home to a family will pay the majority of the mortgage on the entire property, giving us the ability to build a laneway house for around C$300,000 – about C$100,000 less than buying a new condo of a similar size in the same community."
There are a few things that I find a bit odd; two full bathrooms and a powder room in such a small house seem excessive and a waste of space. And I worry about firemen's poles in houses. And I cannot figure out where the home office is.
But it does demonstrate that you can put a lot of nice stuff into 859 square feet, including a loft over the bathrooms and a doghouse. More photos on Dezeen.

Introduction: Vintage (or Walmart!) Button Cocktail Rings
Lavish soirées with a 5-piece orchestra in the corner of a grand ballroom. Black tie affairs with the well-to-do and who-knows-who. Dry martinis sipped out of a crystal glass and olives eaten between perfectly polished lips. And glittering, gleaming jewelry dripping from ears, necks and fingers.
This might be the usual setting where one might find a beautiful cocktail ring, but let's be honest, who can afford the expense every night (ok... or at all)? But now you don't need to miss out on a moment of the glitz and glamour with this instructable to make yourself an extremely fashionable, extremely durable and extreeemely affordable cocktail ring made of buttons and wire!
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Tools of the Trade
What you'll need:
- a LOT of buttons.
(Raid your button stash, your mother's, your grandmother's! They have lovely vintage buttons just begging to be used! Or if all else fails, stores like Walmart sell individual buttons or even mix bags, which give a great variety)
- some 18-20 gauge hardware wire.
(I actually bought mine at the local dollar store... for a dollar and twenty-five cents.)
- 1 or 2 pairs of pliers
(jewelers or nylon-jaw if you have them. If not, just wrap the jaws in masking tape to avoid marring the wire)
- 1 pair of hardware wire cutters
- a ring mandrel (that round, black thing) or a pen/other cylinder that fits your ring size
(slide a ring you currently have on pens till you find one that's pretty snug, or even a tad too small)
- a material placemat to cut down on "clink-clink!" noise from the buttons
Step 2: Get Ready... Set...
Spend a few minutes to make up some interesting ring combinations. You can make the rings as big or small, tall or not so tall as you want them to be. I usually pick out a few interesting beads to add to my rings too, to make a colour pop or make it a bit daintier. Don't limit yourself though; if you want a hardware washer or o-ring as a focal, then by all means!
And you don't have to make them all, you know. I didn't make all the combinations I set up, but it did give me plenty of ideas.
Step 3: Starting the First Ring
I'll be showing you how to make a few models, starting with the fastest and easiest ring to make.
First steps are to lay out your tools, including the button set you chose, your wire cutters and wire. You can then cut a piece of wire about 9 to 10 inches long (or longer, if you want to be sure, but I find 9-10" doesn't make too much waste while being comfortable to work with).
Fold the wire in half, and push it through the top button of your ring. Make sure that the part you want facing up has the wire loop on it, and is not facing the two wire ends. Next, feed the rest of the buttons on in the order that you want.
Once this is done, turn the button assembly over and cross the wires flat against the last button. Carefully twist them so that they turn around each other and end up facing the opposite direction they started in. So essentially, left wire now goes right, right wire now goes left.
Step 4: Makin' the Band
Next, place the button assembly on the mandrel, approximately where you want to size it (you can adjust this in a sec). I usually place it half a size smaller on the mandrel than I want my finished ring to be, because it always gets bigger during the making. So in my photo, I've placed it on the 5.5 size because I'm really making a size 6.
Bring the two wires around the mandrel, making sure to keep them on the same side as they were when you made the last twist (meaning, don't cross them. Keep the top wire on top and the bottom wire on the bottom). Wrap them back around to the bottom of the ring, and pass them underneath. They'll now be sticking out on both sides of the ring's "undercarriage". This will give you a nice open-concept look to your ring band.
Next, take each wire one at a time and wrap it clockwise (or counter, depending on the natural flow of the wires) around the base of the ring. You can wrap each a half-turn and then the other, then back to the first, etc. if you want, to help keep the spiral even. I find that once you get good, you can just hold the mandrel between your knees and wrap with both hands (keep it clean, people).
Once you've gone around about 2 or 3 times, cut the wires as close as you can to the spiral. Finally, take the smallest nose pliers you have and tuck in the ends, so they don't scratch you (this may need adjusting when you try it on... ouch).
And that's it! One fabulous cocktail ring, all ready to go!
Step 5: Let's Make Another!
Sucker for punishment? Well, OK! Here's a one-button model, with a little spiral on the top.
First difference from the last model is that where you pushed the wire down through the buttons in the first step, now you want to push it up. Fold the two wires parallel to each other (do not cross!), as this is the beginning of your spiral. Very gently, start twisting your wires one at a time, half a turn at a time, around in the spiral shape. I find it helps to keep your non-working thumb pressed down on the spiral to keep it from folding up.
Once you've filled up the button space with spiral, make a right-angle turn in each of the wires so that they go off the button in opposite directions.
Next, bend the wire down and around to the bottom of the button, and again, twist the wires. This will seem a little bulky, and will make the ring sit a bit higher on your finger. But if you use a small enough button, there won't be enough weight on it to fall over, and it will just sit pretty as you please on the top.
For the band, all you have to do is follow the same steps as the first ring, and twist the wires underneath to finish. In these photos, I've shown how you can also use a pen or other cylindrical object to make a suitably sized ring, if you don't have a mandrel.
Step 6: A Different Kind of Band
And finally, one more kind of band finish, called the "wrapping" technique.
This ring starts off with either of the button stringing methods, and picks up when you bring the wires down and around the mandrel. Remember how I told you not to cross the wires and STRESSED that the wires should not be crossed? Well, now I want you to cross them. What can I say? I'm fickle that way.
So essentially, you should bring the top wire to the bottom of the ring, and the bottom wire to the top of the ring when you bring them around to make the band. With me so far?
Next, cross the wire ends perpendicular over the two wires making the band, but do not continue. Instead, clip the wire ends until they're only about 1-1.5 inches long. These little wire ends now have to be pulled through the band with pliers through the ring band to the other side and up around the wire bands, so that they "wrap" around. Once you've done three wraps, cut the ends and tuck.
Step 7: In Retrospect...
These rings are a LOT of fun to make, and really quite easy. Wire is a pretty forgiving medium, and you can try all sorts of things with it, straighten it out and try again. And don't be afraid to try things that might potentially end in disaster, because that's how we learn, right?
So have fun, and show me what you come up with, wearable or not! Go on... you deserve something fancy.

With all the negative press about teflon causing cancer, ceramic cookware has become very popular as a non toxic and non stick alternative. However, to get the maximum benefits of your ceramic cookware, it's important to learn the proper way to clean, and just as importantly, maintain your expensive investment.
The recommended ways to clean ceramic cookware is by washing immediately after you finish cooking by hand, with the help of baking soda or a vinegar solution to help break down tough stains. You can prolong the life of your ceramic cookware through proper storage, adopting the seasoning method, ensuring regular deep cleaning, and cooking on low to medium heat.
Benefits of Using Ceramic Cookware
There are several key benefits of using ceramic cookware for anyone considering buying one:
- Ceramic cookware is naturally non-stick.
- It can withstand heat of up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit something which metallic cookware is unable to do.
- It's naturally hard and durable.
- Can be used on the hob, in the oven, and in the microwave.
- The cooking surface of a ceramic pan or pot heats evenly making it perfect for cooking in.
- Easy to wash and to take care of.
- Sturdy and scratch resistant.
- Ceramic cookware is cadmium free.
- Ceramic cookware is toxin and metal free and safer to cook in.
- Ceramic cookware is available in a wide range of colours and at affordable prices.
Cleaning Ceramic Cookware
There are several easy, quick and wallet friendly ways to keep your ceramic cookware clean.
Most importantly, for best results ceramic cookware should be washed the old school way – by hand – rather than in the dishwasher. Most dishwasher detergents contain harsh chemicals that ruin the surface of ceramic cookware quickly. Second, the pressure of hot water sprayed on pans is hard on the pan's surface. Third, ceramic cookware becomes scratched or chipped when coming into contact with other dishware. As such, rolling up your sleeves and washing your ceramic cookware by hand will go a along way in protecting your prized cookware.
Wash your Cookware Immediately After Cooking
The best way to ensure ceramic cookware is cleaned properly is to wash up after you finish cooking:
- Make sure that the ceramic cookware cools down properly. This is a good tip to follow for all cookware to minimize the chances of cookware warping. Turn off the stove, and wait until the cookware is cool to the touch.
- Wash ceramic cookware using warm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft sponge or washing pad.
- If the food stains are tough then soak the ceramic cookware in water for 30 minutes before washing.
Ceramic Cookware Manufacturers generally warn against using abrasive sponges and steel wool to clean ceramic cookware. They also advice against the use of metallic spoons or spatula, as they wear down ceramic coating on the cookware. Instead, manufacturers suggest the use of silicone, wooden (particularly bamboo wood) or nylon cooking utensils as the are more gentile to ceramic.
Clean with Baking Soda
Baking Soda is known as a powerful natural cleaning agent in the kitchen. Baking soda is famous for it odor-removing properties; when mixed with vinegar, it is mildly abrasive and can really help remove tough stains. It can help clean, polish and shine almost anything.
Baking soda can also be used to make your well-used ceramic cookware look as good as new.
All you need to clean a big ceramic cookware pot is 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
- Fill your ceramic pot with water, put it on the stove and bring to boil.
- Put in a couple of drops of liquid washing up soap and two tablespoons of baking soda, and allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes.
- With the help of a wooden spatula stir the mixture around until it starts foaming.
- Keep stirring for two minutes more and carefully scrape the bottom and sides and switch off the stove
- Wait for the water to cool down before draining the pot.
- Wash the pot with washing up liquid and warm water.
- Pat the pot dry with a towel or fish cloth.
Clean with Vinegar
Vinegar is a brilliant natural cleaner, it is a solvent, deodorizer, mildly acidic, acts as a disinfectant, cleans wonderfully and is dirt cheap. Did you know that vinegar can clean and shine your ceramic cookware as well? All you need is distilled clear vinegar, baking soda and water for this method.
- Fill your ceramic pot or pan with a quart of water, and add in two teaspoons of baking soda and a quarter cup of distilled vinegar.
- Let the ceramic pot or pan simmer for a little while before the stove is switched off.
- Once the water cools down, drain the water from the cookware.
- Wash the pot or pan with liquid detergent and a soft sponge.
- Dry the ceramic cookware with a soft towel or dishcloth.
Use Hydrogen Peroxide for Burned Stains
We all know the powerful properties of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean windows and glass, kitchen tops, chopping boards, cleaning cloths, refrigerators, microwaves and plastic water bottles. You can also use 3% hydrogen peroxide, available by McKeeson and Leader, to clean large ceramic cookware pots. Hydrogen peroxide produces foam inside the pots when it comes in contact with the burnt areas. This is a relatively simple method where you can remove some hard burn stains if your ceramic cookware.
- Put one ounce of hydrogen peroxide into your ceramic pot.
- Fill the ceramic pot with water, watch carefully to see whether bubbles are created and let it rest for a few minutes. (If the hydrogen peroxide is fresh it bubbles easily, if it's been sitting on your shelf for months it won't.)
- If the stain doesn't come off, use a soft bristle toothbrush or gauze cloth to clean the stained area gently.
- The pot can be washed with washing up liquid or detergent and a soft sponge.
- Finally, dry the ceramic cookware with a soft towel or dishcloth.
Taking Care of Ceramic Cookware
There are several quick and easy ways to take care of ceramic cookware to ensure it lasts a long time that are listed below.
Store Ceramic Cookware Properly
An important way to prolong the life of the ceramic cookware is by carefully storing it. You can't leave ceramic cookware lying out in the open as it can get chipped, cracked, or even broken. Ceramic cookware needs to be carefully stored in cupboards or on shelves. One of the most important things to remember is to keep your ceramic frying pans away from other cookware – especially ceramic cookware.
When stacking ceramic frying pans or other ceramic cookware on top of one another, use thick paper napkins to separate them, as ceramic to ceramic contact scratches the ceramic coating. Soft and spongy pan protectors which help avoid ceramic to ceramic contact and scratching can also be used.
Another way to store ceramic cookware is by hanging them on hooks. This will help prevent surface to surface contact with other dishwater and protect your ceramic cookware. Hanging cooking utensils also helps save space into the kitchen.
Avoid Cooking Oil Spray
Cooking-oil sprays in aerosol cans are popular as they are easy to use, but they are a definite no no when it comes to ceramic cookware. Not even the coconut or olive cooking oil sprays should be used.
Cooking-oil sprays have a number of not so natural ingredients and chemicals that can result in a sticky build-ups on cooking surfaces. In addition, many cooking oil sprays contain soy lecithin, which further adds to the sticky buildup. This build up doesn't wash easily, nor does it burn off, and eventually leads to smoke.
Furthermore, if you use a scrubbing pad to remove the film, the scrubbing leads to peeling, scratching and damage!
Seasoning Ceramic Cookware
Although not an absolute necessity it's still a good idea to season ceramic cookware two to three times a year. Seasoning ceramic cookware ensures it keeps its non-stick surface from wearing off.
- Start by dabbing a little vegetable oil on to a kitchen towel and wiping the cooking surface of your ceramic cookware with it.
- Make sure you have a thin coating of oil on your ceramic cookware, then put it on the stove for 2-3 minutes at medium heat.
- Take it off the hot stove and allow it to cook before washing it. This simple process will revitalize the non-stick layer on your ceramic cookware.
- The pot can be washed with washing up liquid or detergent and a soft sponge.
- Finally, dry the ceramic cookware with a soft towel or dishcloth.
Regular Deep Cleaning
Another way to keep your ceramic cookware in top-notch order is by deep cleaning it regularly. While the term deep cleaning evokes a picture of you scrubbing for hours on end, it's actually a quick and easy process.
- Soak ceramic cookware in warm soapy water.
- Next gently rub baking soda on your ceramic pot while it's wet and leave aside for 15-20 minutes.
- Afterwards gently rub the ceramic cookware with a soft sponge, soft bristle toothbrush or gauze cloth.
Cool Down Ceramic Cookware Properly
Drastic changes in temperature can damage the non-stick coating in your ceramic cookware, this results in the heating and non-stick cooking performance being negatively affected. A hot ceramic pot or pan must not be immersed in cold water. After cooking is completed, place the ceramic pot on a cool burner and allow it to return to room temperature before washing. This will help you improve the lifespan of your ceramic cookware.
Cook on Low to Medium Heat
When using ceramic cookware, it is important to remember that cooking in high intensity heat will cause discoloration and damage. It will damage the non-stick ability of ceramic cookware. Ceramic cookware has great heat conductivity, and the aluminum base distributes heat effectively. High temperatures are not required to cook food quickly. Even water can be boiled or food can be seared at medium temperature because of special heat distribution properties.
We hope that this article shows that there are a number of quick, easy and cheap ways to clean your ceramic cookware effectively. As mentioned above, there are many cleaning agents present in your home which help clean ceramic cookware and keep it looking as good as new.
This article also provides simple and practical suggestions to take care of ceramic cookware. By carrying out regular maintenance on your ceramic cookware, you can ensure that it remains clean, in good order and non-toxic for years to come. This in turn is beneficial for your family's health and for your wallet!

Arzachena Tournament
Great Fun
Hi everybody!
I had a brilliant tournament in Sardinia, a beautiful island in Italy.
The tournament was held in Arzachena (http://www.scacchierando.it/occhi-puntati-su/arzachena-2017/), between 21st and 25th April.
Before we went, there was an online competition for a "Golden Ticket": A chess website, called Scacchierando.it put for grabs a free entry to the tournament inclusive of free accommodation and full board for the best reply. I simply had to send them a letter, explaining why I wanted to go to the tournament and I was selected! I could not believe it.
We booked our accommodation, which was very close to where my friends were staying. I had so much fun. I was always with my friends either playing chess or playing football. It was really great.
We could see the beach from our mobile home, the water was amazingly blue. It was slightly cold at night, but we had fantastic weather and I got a bit of sun tan because I was always outside.
I wanted to win 5 games out of 7, but I got 4.5/7… I wasn't over the moon but it was not a terrible result as I gained some more Elo points and I had a couple of very interesting games.
I received a trophy and some money. I got 5th place for Bucholtz, but same points as 4th place. Not bad! I am happy about it.
When the tournament was over, I was quite sad to go back home, to leave my friends behind, but I have to prepare now for another A Levels exam in Maths, so I have to work hard. I can't wait to play another tournament.

SLEEP! It's something almost all parents wish for, well the guys over at Johnson's Baby think they may have the solution. This is what they say…..
As I'm sure you've found, well over half (59%) of parents admit to having problems when getting their children off to sleep. Did you know, that of those parent who were only woken once in the night, two thirds included 'bathtime' in their baby's bedtime routine and over a third included 'quiet time'?
The JOHNSON'S® Baby 3-step bedtime routine provides a night-time routine clinically proven to help babies sleep better in just one week. The 3-step routine of bath, massage and quiet time before bed time can help your baby fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep for longer, which means parents can get a good night's sleep too.
This could be the secret to you all having enjoying the winter evenings and all having a well-deserved good night's sleep.
Sounds fantastic doesn't it? I was recently sent…..
This is to test the three step routine Bath, massage, quiet time and then to bed.
I started by washing Harry in the bath (the wash smelled amazing)
Then I gave him a massage ( I couldn't get a photo of this but he loved it) again the powder and oil smelled lovely! You know when you just want to eat your kids up?
And then we had quiet time. We watched a little bedtime hour on CBeebies and read books while cuddled up.
I was so shocked that it took Harry about 3 minutes to fall asleep and he slept all night! We have not had this for a while now. He is usually pretty good staying asleep (unless poorly) but getting him to sleep has been a huge nightmare lately. But this 3 steps seemed to work 🙂 We will definitely be doing the 3 steps more often from now on!
*Disclosure- We were sent these products for the purposes of this review but all words and opinions are my own.

The ships, secured under the HSH Facility, will be sold to Navios Partners Containers and Navios Partners Containers Finance for USD 54 million plus an amount to support settlement of operational cash deficits to closing.
As explained, the proceeds from the sale of these nine vessels will be paid in full to the HSH syndicate as part settlement of the HSH syndicate loan.
"The sales of these nine vessels are expected to be completed in parts from July 12, 2017," Rickmers noted.
As World Maritime News earlier reported, the sale of the nine ships, which was subject to HSH Syndicate's approval, is part of the trust's winding up process as the company is faced with liquidity issues.
The sale of the first five containerships was completed in late May.
"After funding cash burn, operating expenses, and the settlement of costs associated with the winding up of the trust, unsecured creditors are expected to receive total proceeds of approximately USD 27 million. This represents recovery of 11.4% pari passu to noteholders as well as senior lenders with remaining loans outstanding after repayment from the sales of their respective secured vessels," Rickmers said in an update.

Probably my favorite part of the weekend…
Raji is my homeboy. Did you know he's only 24? Yeah… blows my mind. Anyways. I'm stoked to see the Packers heading to the Super Bowl!
Aside from kickin' it on the couch for an enjoyable evening of football-watching, my weekend was a ton of fun and active (always my fav). But I'm exhausted and sore all over today. I've even got this sweet, gigantic bruise on my knee. A battle scar from skiing. Score.
Saturday. A relatively uneventful, (short) long run was on tap. 6.5 miles, nothing too crazy, but I'm thankful the miles didn't seem like a big deal. I'm excited for next weekend's 11 miler (double digits, baby!).
Sunday. 3 friends and I drove up to the mountains for a half day of skiing. Even though the mountain hadn't gotten a lot of new snow, we had a blast. Weez and I dominated some blues and blacks for a while (so proud of him, Mr. This Was Only My 5th Time Skiing Ever), before I took off to hit up some glades (powdery, tree fun). It was hard. My jump turns are kinda weak these days… something I know I need to work on. After sufficiently burning out my quads, I managed to slide-out on an icy groomer, leaving me with a lovely black and blue baseball sized bruise on my knee. Super hott.
This morning was masters swim. I love the class but I'll be honest, today felt like crap. We did 3800 yrds in total. 1000 of which were speed sets (50yrds, all out). I'm slow. Like, the 2nd-to-last-person-out-of-the-pool slow. I'm not disappointed (in fact, I'm proud that a runner like me has the guts to get in the pool to try and keep up with those folks), but I really look forward to watching an improvement (I hope). Coach E told me it'll get easier. I hope she's right, because today was a big mental challenge for me. I struggled.
I can't wait to run tomorrow… Swimming makes me appreciate how much I love running on land. Especially after mornings like today.

We went to the Great Wall Of China with our guide Jessie. It was so cool having a guide. It was way helpful because we not only actually knew where we were going, we actually learned a thing or two. When we walked there was a temple or a base for the soldiers. The Wall was built to keep the Mongolians away from stealing from China. The stairs were also really cool because the steps were staggered different heights so if any intruder got in the building they would be slower or potentially look down and not see any one coming. When we were done walking we didn't want to take the lift down so we got to toboggan down, it was so cool. Except Grayson kept crashing into me. It was really cool and at the end of the day I got a stuffed animal panda aka Bobo.
Very cool Lincoln . Without a doubt, the Great Wall was my favorite thing in China. It is just too awesome to even try to describe. I walked up and down the walls and was sad when it was time for me to leave. I wished I could have walked from one end to the other but I know that really isn't possible. I'm glad you had fun there.
My next favorite thing in China was the Terra Cotta Soldiers. I am sure you will see them before you come home. I wonder what you will think of them.
Miss you lots- kisses all around.
