Just ignore the pain, you wont notice it at all after about 5 years and see other post... that is what the glass of something is for... Anesthetic lol
Hello Pat, Paraffin heaters in a greenhouse are ok but the vents need to be open a crack to feed oxygen to the flame which will help disipate the moisture in the air too. Keep the wicks trimmed and set as per user manual for best results. If you don't have a thermometer, invest in a maximum and minimum one, not cheap but you will be able to see what the lowest and highest temps are so that you can adjust heating and ventilation. Want more heat than your heater can provide? Get two 10" clay pots, set a houshold candle in the bottom of one and place on the floor of the greenhouse away from flamable material, light the candle and invert the second pot on top of the first. Warning!!! dont stick your finger in the hole of the 2nd pot to install it unless you like crispy fingernails. Leave the pots to cool before moving or use gloves, you'll be suprised how hot the pots get. This heating method is sufficient to keep frost off in an 8x10 greenhouse. Well rotted FYM (Farm Yard Manure) is the best organic treatment for soil to grow veg. especially if the soil hasn't been nourished for some time or if inorganic fertilizers have been used. The pelleted chicken poo is good too for the same reason. Check out Nutrients If you are offered fresh chicken poo, compost it before use, which brings us to compost bins. Yes great for making your own compost. A low maintenance enclosed plastic one should keep the neighbours happy and you can put egg shells, tea bags, coffee grounds, hair off the dog etc in it too. General rule for this type of composting is Raw = compost, cooked = dustbin. Lots of people do not compost potato peelings as they can sprout and grow and lots of others compost them and rarely have a problem. Add waste carboard to add carbon and a bit of chicken poo (pelleted or fresh) as an activator, keep it moist too. Growing peas and beans (Legumes) are good for you and the garden. Choose varietes that grow short of the top of your fence or within your reach. It might be too late this time but growing beans plants at an angle allows the beans to hang straight down or they stay hidden among the foliage, Water the plants when flowering with a fine mist spray to help set the flowers. Lots will fall off but lots more will stay on and produce fruit. Late frosts can knock flowers off too. Beans etc drink gallons of water so be prepared to spend a lot of time watering them. Water all plants avoiding high sun shine times, early morning and in the evening is best. Warm evening, dying sun, trickling water, black birds chirping, garden chair, good company and a glass of something, you can't beat it peas pretty much the same, look for mildew resistant strains, dig up and burn affected plants or use chemicals to treat. I know which method I would choose. When the plants are finished fruiting, cut the plants off at ground level and leave the roots in the ground, this allows the nitrogen nodules on the roots to break down and feed the soil ready for next years plants to use. If you have room for a cold frame you can harden off your young plants whilst you keep the greenhouse warm at night. Watch out for slugs though or the plants will never see the garden, let alone feed you Just had a thought... plants in a heated greenhouse can be a shocked when watered from a source outside the heated environment. Fill a couple of watering cans and keep them in the greenhouse, empty one and refill it straight away (rainwater preferred) and return it to the greenhouse to warm up before use. using two or more cans always means you have 'conditioned' water ready to use. More thoughts on watering and feeding. As with red watering cans for weedkiller, green for normal watering, use another colour say orange for water with feed in it, write on a plant label the type of feed and what strength and attach to the handle so that when it has been used by you, Richard or someone looking after your plants if you are away you know where you are. Always make sure compost is damp before feeding with liquid fertilizer. The very small hair like fillaments on roots will be burned and the plants will be set back until the roots have recovered. Pelleted feed should be avoided in pots because if the compost does dry out the plants will be fed and roots damaged when you water next. Dil-dol?... Take a carrot bag, a large plastic container or water butt, enough FYM to fill the carrot bag 1/2 to 3rd full, hang the bag from the rim of the container and cover with water. After say half an hour, lift the carrot bag a couple of times to stir it up a bit and you have the perfect 'liquinure' for established plants. There is a lot to learn and I could rattle on forever but I'm not. I'm sure there are lots of other gardeners who can chuck in their two penneth so I'll shut mi gob now , but feel free to ask if you feel the need.
Thanks Richard and Dave you are too kind. My sadly departed dad would be proud that all the years of training he had at Norton Nurseries, some of which he passed on to me as a kid has helped. Thanks dad :)
Good point Bayleaf, as with our house' orientation, plants cook at the back of the house and die of exposure in the front. Domestic plots with hedges or fences can offer some protection but privet can cause problems for other plants. Making wrong decisions relating to sowing and planting without prior knowledge could leave you without a crop, this is where local knowledge comes in so I would definitely recommend speaking to other local gardeners. I remember some years ago staying in a cottage on the Duke of Northumberland's Estate, man it were perishing, we got through a bunker of coal and all the wood dropped off from the Dukes saw mill. Another time at Otterburn range on a demolitions weekend with RE TAVR, we only started to thaw out as we got back to Sheffield.
Blimey, masterclass in gardening for the uninitiated! Ok, off the top of my head... I'ts a bit early to plant seeds straight into the ground but you could start some in seed compost on a windowsill. Check out your local garden centre for seed packs of veg you like, the growing instructions will be on the back of the pack. Runner beans and similar can be labour intensive as thay need lots of water on a regular basis as do tomatoes. Brassicas eg. cabbage, sprouts caulis etc like to be well heeled in (pressed firmly with the heel) and are lime loving and also need regular water to avoid going to seed, not a bad thing to save seed for the following year but you don't want the whole lot to bolt. Don't plant root crops (especially carrots) in freshly manured ground as the roots will probably produce more than one root, be deformed and a s*d to peel and prepare. Onion sets (very small onions) should have been in compost in late December but it's never too late, plant them at the side of carrots to put off carrot root fly. Spuds can be sprouted before planting in a warmish dark place, cupboard under the stairs is ok in a shallow box but BUY SEED POTATOES don't plant spuds from Morrison's. Local garden centre again for these, when the eyes start to sprout, they can be planted and large spuds can be divided but must have an eye in each portion. Got an old bin, large bucket? Put holes in the bottom, fill with compost and plant a couple of seed spuds, when the tops die back, tip the container out, it will be full of lovely spuds that took no space in the garden allowing you to grow something else. If you like Rocket you can't go wrong with it in the garden, don't plant too much unless you really like it! Not exactly a triffid but it can be a bit prolific. Salad stuff like lettuce are best planted a few at a time otherwise you could finish up with tons of the stuff for a week and nothing for the rest of the year. Salad mustard and cress can be grown on the windowsill in clear plastic pots with drainage holes in the bottom. Long stuff like leeks, long carrots, parsnips and the like can be grown in lengths of drain pipe themselves planted in the ground and filled with compost to allow full lengh to be achieved. We used to do this with very stony ground where nothing else would grow. 3 seeds in the top of the compost, when the seedlings emerge, take out the weakest and leave one to grow to maturity. Now I've said all that, if you check out your local area for gardening clubs and allotments and go and have a chat with the local experts, you will be nicely surprised by the friendly bunch who will give you lots more information and chances are you will come home with seeds, seedlings or plants ready to go in the ground. There is masses of info on the net too. My advice for what it is worth would be to start with stuff you know you will like to eat and don't go daft with quantities, better to start small and learn from your first growing season, take notes about what worked and what didn't, take advice from green fingered mates you meet, learn about fertilisers and the best ways to control pests and diseases, PH levels etc. but most of all enjoy yourselves and your own food. You'll love it. One last word on equipment, if you are certain you are going to keep growing your own food, invest in decent gear, I don't mean £60 stainless spades but plastic handled stuff wont last five minutes. Spade, fork, rake, dutch hoe, hose pipe and decent nozzle, 2x watering can, 1x green one and a red one for weed killer, so you don't feed your plants with dregs of weedol, they won't thank you! hand trowel and fork, a riddle for preparing seed beds. portions of greenhouse glass to cover pots containing seeds are great for creating the right environment or clear pop bottles with the bottom cut off big enough to cover a pot . One more last word. , more plants die from overwatering than from drought, allowing compost/soil to dry out a bit is better than keepking the growing medium wet all the time. once plants reach permanent wilting point, they are only fit for compost. If water squeezes out of a hand full of soil, it is wet enough. If it clumps together and breaks with light pressure between finger and thumb then add water. Another way to check, is just stick a finger in the soil, if soil sticks to your skin it's wet enough, if your finger is clean add water. Hope this helps Chris

30_degrees replied to RichardB's topic in SHEFFIELD PLACES - NOW GONEIn the 70's upto ?, Cole Bros. had there carpet warehouse at the top of Bailey Street where all the measuring, cutting and joining was done prior to delivery and fitting. The old building was a labrynth on various floors and had a staff canteen for the workers on the site. Reversing into the loading bay was a challenge because of the narrow street and of the steepness of the hill.

Murdoch is not the only maggot in the rotten appleStuart Littlewood Salem-News.com
Britain, as everyone knows, has carved an unfortunate niche for itself as America's poodle.
(LONDON) - Having disposed of the Murdoch menace - for the moment anyway - it's time for the British public to turn the spotlight on the other villains our craven politicians pay homage to.
Public enemy Number One is the pro-Israel lobby. An organization called the Conservative Friends of Israel states it has "twin aims of supporting Israel and promoting Conservatism. With close to 2000 activists as members – alongside 80% of Conservative MPs – CFI is active at every level of the Party".
And the rot goes all the way to the top, with Conservative prime minister David Cameron endorsing it enthusiastically: "I am proud not just to be a Conservative, but a Conservative Friend of Israel; and I am proud of the key role CFI plays within our Party."
Back in 2006 The Jewish Chronicle ran a report on the backers bankrolling Cameron's bid for the party leadership. It was sent to the Committee on Standards in Public Life as an example of how the pro-Israel lobby infiltrates government and undermines the very principles the standards watchdog was established to uphold. But Zionist tentacles reach further than you think. The Committee ignored it.
At the time Cameron, a self-proclaimed Zionist, pledged: "If I become Prime Minister, Israel has a friend who will never turn his back on her…"
The Liberal Democrats allow a similar lobby group to flourish within their ranks. Its stated aim is to "maximise support for the State of Israel within the Liberal Democrats and Parliament". Labour also has a virulent Israel supporters club that broadcasts Tel Aviv's propaganda and, when in power, appoints Israel lobby stooges to key ministerial and other positions.
Britain, as everyone knows, has carved an unfortunate niche for itself as America's poodle. But not enough people ask the key question: whose poodle is America? The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has the private parts of US Congress in such a vice that the Zionist regime's interests come first in Washington. "Don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it," Ariel Sharon told Shimon Peres at an Israeli cabinet meeting in 2001, according to Kol Yisrael radio.
Israel's propaganda machine of course denies it. Nevertheless the US House of Representatives felt obliged to endorse, by 390 votes to 5, Israel's murderous assault on Gaza in the winter of 2008/9, an atrocity that killed over 1,400 (mostly Palestinian civilians including a large number of women and children), wounded and maimed thousands more, left tens of thousands homeless and horrified the rest of the world.
The knock-on effect in the UK is inevitable. We too are so embroiled in the Zionists' perpetual strife with the Islamic world that we've been sucked into the same cesspit. Britain is now one of the most hated nations on earth thanks to our cosy association with US-Israeli ambitions in the Middle East.
Meet the 'Israel-firsters'
Israel was founded on terror, land theft, ethnic cleansing and extreme brutality. Why would the British Establishment wish to snuggle up to it? Why did Liam Fox, now Defence Secretary, famously say: "We must remember that in the battle for the values that we stand for, for democracy against theocracy, for democratic liberal values against repression - Israel's enemies are our enemies and this is a battle in which we all stand together or we will all fall divided."
As if that wasn't absurd enough William Hague, now foreign secretary, came out with this in 2008: "The unbroken thread of Conservative Party support for Israel that has run for nearly a century from the Balfour Declaration to the present day will continue. Although it will no doubt often be tested in the years ahead, it will remain constant, unbroken, and undiminished by the passage of time."
Undiminished by the passage of crime, too. Tzipi Livni was Israeli foreign minister at the time of Operation Cast Lead and largely responsible for the unimaginable terror and destruction unleashed on Gaza's civilians. Livni's office issued a statement saying she was proud of Operation Cast Lead and, lacking all remorse, she later declared: "I would today take the same decisions." Obviously she is on several wanted lists. When a warrant for her arrest was issued in London she went whining to our then foreign secretary David Miliband, who apologized. When the Conservative coalition came in and Hague took over the Foreign Office who can forget how Hague rushed to prove his loyalty by promising that our universal jurisdiction laws would be changed to protect Israel's suspected war criminals? It was "an appalling situation where a politician like Mrs Livni could be threatened with arrest on coming to the UK" he said.
David Cameron, for his part, told Conservative Friends of Israel: "The ties between this party and Israel are unbreakable. And in me, you have a Prime Minister whose belief in Israel is indestructible."
And he recently told a Jewish audience: "I want to be clear, we will always support Israel... when Iran flouts its international obligations Britain is and will remain at the forefront of the international community in ratcheting up the pressure with tough sanctions. We will not stand by and allow Iran to cast a nuclear shadow over Israel or the wider region."
Considering it is Israel which casts the nuclear shadow, menaces the region and flouts international laws and conventions, that remark was beyond ridiculous. Cameron, like Fox, seems determined to make Israel's enemies Britain's enemies when we have no quarrel with any of them.
Who gave him permission to spout such dangerous drivel in our name?
Hague too loves ratcheting up the violence. While still deeply embroiled in an unwinnable Afghan campaign he started bombing the hell out of Libya months ago - with no end in sight - and is now sending more British aircraft into "theatre" to intensify the carnage, seemingly oblivious to the fact that back home in Britain we are struggling to make ends meet with a monumental economic and financial deficit around our necks.
Who's he doing all this bloodshed for? Certainly not for us.
Lacking military experience these Israel-firsters, liked Blair and others before them, show an unhealthy lust for death and destruction. They are what I believe our American cousins call 'chicken-hawks' - talking tough but taking care never to risk their own worthless skins.
Lawlessness rules, OK?
Another ardent admirer of the Zionist regime is James Arbuthnot, the Parliamentary chairman of the Conservative Friends of Israel. He told Parliament: "Everyone in this House should have an interest in Israel, because it is a country that embodies the values that we should stand for. Israel [has] become a bastion of the rule of law…"
Israel's prime minister Netanyahu heads their Likud party, which is the embodiment of greed, racist ambition, lawlessness and callous disregard for other people's rights. In any other country it would be banned and its leaders locked up. Yet Netanyahu is welcomed like a hero in the US and given 29 standing ovations by Congress.
Likud intends to make the seizure of Jerusalem permanent and establish Israel's capital there. It will "act with vigor" to ensure Jewish sovereignty in East Jerusalem (which still officially belongs to the Palestinians as does the Old City). The illegal settlements are "the realization of Zionist values and a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel". They will be strengthened and expanded. As for the Palestinians, they can run their lives in a framework of self-rule "but not as an independent and sovereign state".
Are these the values Arbuthnot is suggesting we adopt?
Kadima, the party of Livni, Olmert and Barak, is little better and has also pledged to preserve the larger settlement blocs and steal Jerusalem.
As for Arbuthnot's claim that Israel is a bastion of the rule of law, a UN fact-finding mission, dealing with the assault on the Mavi Marmara last year, declared that "no case can be made for the legality of the interception".
But here's Arbuthnot again, arguing the case for Israel... "Given that the flotilla was designed to be provocative and to end in violence, we should not blame Israel for the violence against which it failed to guard itself; the blame lies with those who went on to the flotilla expressly seeking martyrdom."
The Mission considered that Israel's naval blockade of Gaza amounted to collective punishment and thus was illegal and contrary to Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The interception of the Mavi Marmara on the high seas was "clearly unlawful" and could not be justified even under Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations (the right of self-defence).
The Centre for Constitutional Rights agrees that the blockade "cannot be reconciled with the principles of international law, including international humanitarian law". http://www.ccrjustice.org/
If the blockade is illegal, why is it allowed to continue? Because subservient Israel-firsters in London, Washington and other capitals won't act. Lawlessness rules, OK?
Arbuthnot, by the way, is also chairman of Britain's Defence Select Committee. Worrying, isn't it?
Conflict of interests
The British government's policy of shielding and cosseting Israel's extremists makes all of us complicit in that regime's crimes. How does this perverse devotion to a foreign power square with the Seven Principles of Public Life, especially the one about Integrity, which the government is supposed to uphold? The Principle of Integrity lays down that holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial or other obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might seek to influence them in the performance of their official duties.
Do MPs and ministers not understand this simple imperative? If the Israel lobby has no influence, as some have claimed, how do our leaders explain away the 80 percent of Conservative MPs who are Friends of Israel? How do they explain the appointment of a Foreign Secretary who has been a Friend of Israel since boyhood and a minister in charge of Middle East affairs who is a former officer of the Conservative Friends of Israel?
There are rules about conflict of interests. Why aren't they followed? Do we ever hear an MP or minister, when taking part in a Middle East debate, say "Mr Speaker, I wish the House to know that I am a staunch member of Friends of Israel and Jewish money paid for my election campaign"?
In his infatuation with Israel Mr Hague even stoops to provide cover for its mega-crimes. At the height of the murderous Gaza blitz, Hague announced to Parliament: "The immediate trigger for this crisis... was the barrage of hundreds of rocket attacks against Israel on the expiry of the ceasefire or truce."
The truce with Hamas didn't "expire". It was violated after five months by Israeli forces in order to provoke Hamas and provide an excuse for the long-planned assault. Israel had also failed to deliver its side of the ceasefire bargain, which was to lift the blockade.
Our Middle East minister, Alistair Burt, is another comedian. He recently announced that Britain would not recognise a Palestinian state unless it emerged from a peace deal with Israel. London, he said, could "not recognise a state that does not have a capital, and doesn't have borders".
Hadn't he heard? Palestine's borders are the pre-1967 armistice lines as defined in UN resolutions and recognised by the international community. Where does Burt suppose Israel's borders are? Is Israel where Israel is supposed to be, within internationally defined borders? No, it isn't. Israel keeps its borders fluid, all the time grabbing a bit more land here and confiscating a bit more there. Yet London recognises Israel.
Burt, Hague, Cameron, Fox, Arbuthnot… there are many more like them. How can we be sure where their allegiance lies? Whom do they really work for?
I'll leave the last word on Israel's evil machinations to Sir Gerald Kaufman, the straight-talking Jewish MP. He said in a Commons debate in January 2008: "Is it not a fact that only international action can bring to an end the humanitarian disaster caused by collective punishment imposed by the gang of amoral thugs who comprise the Israeli Government and violate not only international law but the historic Jewish conscience?"
Sir Gerald's family suffered horribly during the Holocaust and his sick grandmother was shot dead in her bed by a German soldier. "They're not simply war criminals, they're fools", he said of the Israelis when Operation Cast Lead was launched. "My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza."
Cameron's judgement, already wobbly, has finally been shot to pieces by his cosiness with Murdoch's 'mafia', and he should be clearing his desk. Add to that his dangerous obsession with racist Israel which drags us into unnecessary wars against countries that pose no threat, and sacrifices our lads in uniform in an unjust cause, and it's clear that he must go.
Our elected MPs belong to us, the British voters. Not to some gang of foreign thugs. We must mobilise to make sure they clearly understand this. And we must work to take back our parliament.

First under the Open Media Project and now under the Community Media Drupal Initiative there have been ongoing efforts to integrate Drupal with Telvue's products. Initially, this focused on Telvue's playback servers for the purposes of moving show metadata from Drupal to Telvue and moving Telvue schedule data back to Drupal. The "original" Telvue API had its limitations and developers made requests to add needed fields. Now, in addition to the Telvue playback server there is also a Cloudcast VOD server. The Cloudcast RSS feed references VOD files and metadata on Cloudcast. Similarly, there has been a need for new fields to be added to the Cloudcast API. So with the Drupal Telvue Module there are three locations where fields need to map: 1) Drupal Telvue module, 2) Telvue playback server, and 3) Cloudcast VOD server. Below is a chart showing these three locations and which fields are currently mapped now.
Although there has been some progress, what we have have is less than what we need. In consideration of the above, the problem is the following. There needs to be a field for a universal unique identifier (UUID) that is mapped from the Telvue API to Cloudcast API. This is important for connecting VOD files back to projects and shows on Drupal.

Lip Balm - Sparkling Apple Cider
Regular price
A lot of lip balms feel great at first, but have you noticed after many uses, your lips just aren't satisfied? I've been in search for the right ingredients in the right ratios. Something not too greasy, not too waxy, lasting and fabulous feeling.
I believe Sparkling Apple Cider hits the nail on the head. Creamy Cocoa Butter, nourishing Avocado Oil, conditioning Shea Butter, repairing Vitamin E and protecting beeswax and Jojoba contribute to the lip balm I've been looking for all my life.
The scent is a combination of fresh juicy apples and a bubbly champagne. If you're not into super sweet lip balm, this is the perfect choice. It's the solution for all day wear that's smooth, lasting and leaves your lips feeling soft and kissable.
You won't need a lot of balm to get you through the day, but I can't promise you won't want more just for the sheer pleasure of satisfying your sweet nostril cravings.
Ingredients: Avocado Oil, Mango Butter, Castor Oil, Shea Butter, Beeswax, Hemp Seed Oil Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, Flavor & Sweetener Oil
Net Wt: 0.15 oz

Connecting the Troopers of Today with the Veterans of Yesterday.
No Dave, that's not the Dave Clark that I know, the one that I know was my Plt. Ldr. while in C Trp 1st Plt. on late 1979 until 1981, he then was selected and became the newly promoted BG Robert Wagner (Dueler) Aide the Camp at the 3rd ID, About 2 years forward then CPT. Dave Clark commanded a Troop of 3/7 Cav (I think A Trp.), David Sheridan Clark is now a retired LTC residing in Tennessee. To the Captain Clark on your photo - "Rest In Peace my Brother and Thank Your For Your Service and Ultimate Sacrifice."
Hello Dave, greetings from Virginia USA!! Thank you so much for remembering my birthday and for your b-day wishes, truly appreciated and very classic. Stay Strong & Stay Healthy...enjoy life!! GOD Bless The Regiment!!
*RCSM Joseph T. Foglio.....5th in line for SM of the ARMY. Loved him bunches, "Look at the CSM's Belt Buckle....now look are you Buckle Trooper!" Loved walking with him across the Parade Grounds. He loved busting NCO's, especially those stealing cash from the Casino take. When you look under unforgettable people on earth....you will definitely find his photo!
Dave, the source picture is right-side up but still loads upside down. Then I rotated the source photo upside down and it loaded identical to source upside down. So I just went with the crest and it loaded fine.
Dave, I see the Squadron Commander's coin but I need to rotate my profile picture 180 degrees.
Dave, can you turn my profile photo 180 degrees? It is upside down and I cannot figure out how to rotate it.
What happened to you on FB? People are wondering.
I know that you will take care quick and with Cavalry razor edge. Thank you and GOD Bless from Virginia USA!!
Hello Dave, I just got an e-mail from former C Troop 1SG, CSM (Ret) Ned Devereaux, informing me that former 2d ACR RCSM Terry Trobough passed away in Manhattan, KS. CSM (Ret) Terry Trobough (August 17, 1941 - August 03, 2019) RIP
Many thanks just looking for someone who knows where he lives
Hello, you said you leave 1975, i have a troop photo from my dad, william smith 1975 do you know him?received_674179226381825.jpeg
All the way down 5 from left
Thanks Dave. He and I ran the border shop up at Reed before we left.
Wow. He hasn't aged at all. At the age of 25 he looked 50
Hmph. OK, well it's been this long... Thanks for leaving them notes, if you're friendly with Rick Martin the mechanic, tell him to check his board. :) I don't do Facebook, too many ex wives out there.
Thanks Dave, I appreciate it. Thanks for the welcome!
My son has the crud too! That is good that they apologized!
Get well man!
Something is up on the way down with that Dave. For some years I just looked at my wife's. I liked it . So I got an account. What I do not like anymore is the political crap and I am done with that. Just hide any political post. All sides. I have my one vote. I hope! Do not respond! I have visited with many people that I never would have with out it. I like messenger. You helped create this site and it is great. Your deal does bother me. You at least deserve a detailed explanations why? Hope your feeling good man. Tojours Pret!

What is the IntraLase Method?
The IntraLase Method is a 100% blade-free technique used to perform the critical first step in the LASIK procedure: creating the corneal flap. The creation of the corneal flap prepares the eye for the second step of the LASIK procedure, where an excimer laser is used on the inner cornea to correct vision.
How does the IntraLase Method work?
The IntraLase Method uses tiny, rapid pulses of laser light to create your corneal flap—instead of using a metal blade—during the first step of LASIK. Each pulse of light passes through the top layers of your cornea and forms a microscopic bubble at a specific depth and position within your eye that is determined by the doctor. The IntraLase® laser moves back and forth across your eye, creating a uniform layer of bubbles just beneath your corneal surface.
Just prior to applying laser vision correction, the doctor creates your corneal flap by gently separating the tissue where these bubbles have formed. The corneal flap is then folded back so the doctor can perform the second step of your LASIK treatment.
What is the difference between a corneal flap created with
the IntraLase Method and one created with a microkeratome?
The microkeratome is a hand-held instrument, which contains a steel blade that moves back and forth and creates a cut as it travels across the cornea. A microkeratome is only capable of making a single, one-dimensional cut across the cornea. As it cuts, the blade oscillates back and forth, which can leave an irregular surface after the flap is lifted. This can affect the quality of your postoperative vision.
Because of the unique way in which the IntraLase Method creates a precisely positioned layer of bubbles just beneath the surface of your eye, it creates a smooth even surface after your flap is lifted. With the IntraLase Method, a blade never touches your eye..
How is the IntraLase Method different from Epi-LASIK
or photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK)?
These procedures differ from one another in the way they prepare the surface of the cornea for the second step of LASIK. Epi-LASIK uses an epikeratome—a blunt separator—to make a superficial flap. Similarly, photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK) is performed by gently scraping the surface layer of the cornea, which may lead to corneal scarring. Both the Epi-LASIK and PRK procedures can be painful and require more postoperative medication. In addition, healing times may be longer than with procedures performed with the IntraLase Method.
Are there other benefits to using the IntraLase Method?
There are several benefits to using the IntraLase Method:
Better vision.
More patients in clinical trials achieved vision that was 20/20 or better when their LASIK procedure was performed with the IntraLase Method.(1) And patients report better quality of vision overall, particularly in terms of their ability to see well in low light such as at dusk or at night.
Ability to tailor the procedure to your eye.
The IntraLase Method gives your doctor the ability to tailor the dimensions of your corneal flap based on what's best for your eye. Everything from the diameter of your flap to the angle of its edges can be precisely determined. This is important because everyone's eyes are shaped a little differently. Having a corneal flap that's individualized to the patient contributes to excellent postoperative outcomes. In addition, a corneal flap created with the IntraLase Method also "locks" back into position after the LASIK procedure is performed.
Is the IntraLase Method painful?
Prior to creating the flap, the doctor applies drops to numb the eye, and then applies a special ring and an instrument that gently flattens your cornea in preparation for the IntraLase Method. This part of the process is not painful—patients report feeling only slight pressure.
Is the IntraLase Method safe?
More than 600,000 procedures have been performed safely and effectively using the IntraLase Method.
How long does it take to create a flap using the IntraLase Method?
The creation of the flap itself takes only about 15-30 seconds per eye. Including preparation time, the entire LASIK procedure takes about 10 minutes.
What's the reaction of patients who have experienced the IntraLase Method?
In a clinical survey of LASIK patients who had their corneal flaps created using a microkeratome in one eye and the IntraLase Method in the other, the vision in the IntraLase-treated eye was preferred 3-to-1 (among those who stated a preference).
Is the IntraLase Method right for me?
If you are looking for a 100% blade-free LASIK experience that virtually eliminates almost all the most severe, sight-threatening complications, the answer is yes.

Vic Mensa + Mr Hudson – Almost There | New Music
"Almost There" is the latest track from Vic Mensa and Mr Hudson. After almost a year Mensa has finally returned with not just one new song but a whole new project.
The Manuscript is the title of his latest EP and "Almost There" features as the first single from the project. Collaborating with Mr Hudson was a definitely a good look for this track as it adds to the musical iridescence of the track.
Mr Hudson's vocals on the chorus are reminiscent of his early work on a lot of Kanye West's track and is a good contrast to Mensa's darker sound and stern lyrics.
"Almost There" I find is a fitting title as it summarises Mensa's attempt to reintroduce himself as a more developed artist; one who is confident in his own style and sound.

I would like to get some opinions from more experienced drone enthusiasts.
I built my second Quadcopter like this:
ArduCopter 3.2.1 on MicroAPM 2.72
Turnigy Multistar 2216 800kV V2
12x4.5 Props
Micro U-blox Neo-6M GPS and Compass
Q-Brain 20A ESC
Plywood frame (10mm thick), MtM distance 42.5cm
I am having issues when descending in RTL and when switching to Loiter and hold position - I get strong oscillations. APM Log File Analiser complains about vibrations, and true enough, I get AccX and AccY values up to 5.
At first I had used a cheap frame I bought, made of carbon with plastic arms, but that was extremely wobbly and the copter was hardly able to take off and extremely unstable. Now with the plywood frame it flies well in Stabilize.
Now there is stiffness and vibrations, and I guess they are two different things - or not? Could I improve performance by making my frame more stiff? Or should I start adding foam, gel, and whatever to reduce the vibrations transmitted to the APM? Or both?
I would be immensely thankful if you could have a look at the log file attached and give me an idea what is amiss here. I am not sure what would be the next step. Am I wrong to try to use plywood altogether? On the other hand, there are toolbox-copters and cardboard-copters flying around - am I giving too much attention to the frame? I would like to get the basics right before tuning for a setup that is problematic from the beginning - or am I too perfectionist?
Views: 1644
I Say YAY. Plywood is light and stiff.
Here is a great book on the subject:
Plywood is in many cases better than composite (cheap/light/stiff/enviro-friendly/absorbs vibration and turns it into heat)
Plywood is better than aluminium too because it is more stiff and can be bonded without rivets.
At least that's whot the book says. - we have made 2 plywood and balsa designs. sandwich balsa or foam between thin light baltic fir ply and the structure is amazingly strong. the design was also very quiet.
Wow, thank you. Your response caught me with the aluminium bars in hand - and I decided to give plywood another try. I made a kind of Ecks-inspired frame and a test flight on a quiet day went well. With wind it is another story - I will have to retune PIDs.
Unfortunately the vibrations are still above the desired values. I might have to look at the dampening of the APM - I am using soft earplugs. Any ideas?
Today I changed the earplugs and tried to dampen with some foam from a gel/foam bike saddle cover - huge improvements. AccY and AccX are good now. I now realize that the earplugs, being made of some kind of memory foam, are certainly not the ideal material.
AccZ is still not good, between -2 AND -18. Not sure what to do about it.

Andrea Dworkin 1945 - 2005
Sexism is the foundation on which all tyranny is built. Every social form of hierarchy and abuse is modeled on male-over-female domination.
Andrea Dworkin
Feminist writer and activist Andrea Dworkin died over the weekend.
I read her book "Woman Hating" in school. I really dug what she was saying, although I admit that I struggled with some key parts of it.
For example, I don't consider all pornography to be per se exploitation or rape. I do believe that most pornography is exploitative and misogynistic and that it therefore contributes to a larger sexism pandemic that impacts us all (often in ways we can little imagine). I just have the crazy idea that sex is beautiful and that filming it can be done in ways that promote that beauty (it's all part of a larger pornography vs. erotica theory that I have - Ms Dworkin disagrees by the way she once wrote that "erotica is simply high-class pornography; better produced, better conceived, better executed, better packaged, designed for a better class of consumer."). I also wonder what happens to the argument in the digital age where pornography/erotica can be filmed and produced for an audience of two (its participants).
As well, in "Intercourse" (of which I have only read a chapter) Ms. Dworkin had a complex argument that was misinterpreted by too many as equating all heterosexual sex as rape. Many feminist theorists and writers have responded to this misunderstanding by pointing out that her argument relied on nuance and subtlety and required her readers to come to the discussion with an understanding of key works from feminist theory (from "The Second Sex" up thtrough "Woman Hating"). As such a reader, I analogize it to my experience upon reading "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man". With neither a background in Latin, nor a background in Irish history to rely on, I was really only able to appreciate it for the power of its language. Anyway, like many readers I struggled with Dworkin and took less away from it than her more educated readers. Only on reading reaction to her work did I even come close to understanding it (think economic conditions, think violence, think patriarchy). And an informed reading makes it clear that she spoke of long-standing constructs and deeply entrenched hierarchies.
This much is clear, a witty and engaging member has left the discussion circle. We are poorer for her loss, and I hope her absence will inspire at least 1/1,000th of the response that the fallen pontiff inspired (hey, I can dream, can't I?).

Glendale's Roy Martin, Daughter Nikki Vie In Motorcycling's First Daughters of Custom Build-Off
As women shift gears in motorcycle culture and Father's Day approaches, the daughter of Glendale's Police Lieutenant Roy Martin is roaring to the front nationally along with her proud dad.
Nikki Martin and her dad are competing this month in the first ever Daughters of Custom Build-Off in Austin, Texas, June 7-9th.
One of the nation's largest motorcycle rallies, the Republic of Texas daughter duo. Biker Rally or ROT Rally attracts more than 40,000 attendees. Competing on the national stage isn't new to this father-daughter duo. In February of this year the pair were runners-up in the final round of the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show in Chicago.
They won a portion of the $70,000 in cash and awards plus their entry paid to compete in the championship.
As a father, Lieutenant Roy Martin — Division Commander for the City of Glendale's Police Department — couldn't be prouder of his daughter's bike building abilities. "I've always wanted Nikki to follow in my footsteps, but she has gone farther then I have ever dreamed," he admits.
Motorcycling's First Daughters of Custom Build-Off – The Republic of Texas Biker Rally partnered with Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys and Biker Pros to bring you the Daughters of Custom Build Off . Sofi and George, Roy and Nikki and Austin and Ady are the dynamic father/daughter duo, teaming up to compete on the national stage at the ROT RALLY.
Nikki & Roy Win Daughters of Custom Build-Off
The winning bike from Nikki & Roy was awarded to a deserving vet.

Music has always represented a cathartic release in my life. A space and place that I could journey into. There is a song for every emotion that you are going through. Why? Because we are not alone. Whatever challenge in life that we are encountering at that point in time someone else has experienced before, they just had the ability to put it into music. Into words. Notes. Chords. Progressions.
As a lover of the above description I always felt like a bit of a cheat seeing as I have no ability to play an instrument, and air guitar or drumming does not count. I did manage to basically cheat my way through Singstar though, a feat that I am pretty proud of and may or may not have given me a false perception of my abilities. Taking all of this into account and my near impossible belief that anyone is capable of anything, I found myself walking into Mars Music about a month ago to look at guitars. Not a new thing but this time it was accompanied by an injection of invigorated enthusiasm coming off the back of my recent coverage of Up The Creek.
Now if you have you have ever gone shopping for something that you are not quite clued up on – i.e. car shopping, sex toys, cameras and the list could continue – then you would know that the initial glance is so overwhelming that you could end up buying the most ridiculous over the top item without knowing. Basic rule, if it is the centre piece or shiniest then it is most likely the priciest item there. Ahhhh sales! However having said that Tim from Mars Music was a complete professional and did not once attempt to upsell me. He provided me with some excellent advice and out I stepped with a beautiful classic nylon string Tanglewood Manuel Rodriguez. Guitar lessons commenced the following week and since then my fingers have been in pain. Wow. So glad that I went with the classic nylon set up vs the acoustic steel string. Apparently I will callus up shortly. My poor blady office hands. Okay rant over!
Inspired by multiple artists and their accompanying lyrics my journey has started. Be it slowly, it has started. First with the guitar lessons and the Friday that followed I started with my vocal lessons. The guitar lessons are great but it is near impossible to start describing what it is like to begin singing lessons. Especially as someone that has no formal training. Why would I do this to myself you may ask? Well.. Hell! Who doesn't want to be a musician?! It garners respect, admiration and allows the freedom for artistic expression! Not to mention the sex appeal.. That's just a side note but yeah, you get the crux of it. Well I chose none of the above. For me, it is just my love for music. The yearning to understand it, what it takes to make beautiful music and maybe to provide me with the platform to express my thoughts. I already write, so now let's take the next step. And honestly, how could you live your life having never attempted the playing of a musical instrument and call yourself a music lover? Singing.. Now that is a whole other story. It has a level of deeper emotional understanding. You have to let go of your inner fears and just express.
Stick around to follow my journey, for now it is just the start and we will see where this goes. And do you also find yourself a lover of music? If you need any tips on my journey I can point in the correct direction of excellent guitar and vocal coaches.

We also do not collect information about criminal convictions or offences save where we are acting as an employer, in which case our internal privacy notice will apply and will be made available to those covered.
How do we collect personal data?
We obtain personal data from sources as follows:

From others, if they provide your details (for example, if you are copied on an e-mail that is sent to us, and your e-mail address identifies you, we will have collected your personal data). If you are providing another person's details, please ensure you have that person's explicit consent to do so.
From automated technologies such as cookies and tags when you use our website – for more information, please see the Cookie Policy section of our Privacy Policy to find out more.
From reference sources, for example:
We will use your personal data only when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
In order to process personal data, we must have a lawful reason (sometimes called a lawful basis). We always ensure that this is the case, and we set out our lawful bases below – but please note that more than one may apply at any given time: for example, if we inform you of changes to our privacy notice, we may process your personal data on the ground of complying with law and on the ground of legitimate interests.
We will use your personal data only for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we fairly consider that we need it for another reason that is compatible with the original purpose.
Please contact us if you would like more information on this, and on situations in which more than one lawful basis applies.

Whenever we process your personal data for these purposes, we ensure that your interests, rights and freedoms are carefully considered.
We may process your personal data in order to comply with applicable laws (for example, if we are required to co-operate with an investigation pursuant to a court order).
Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third-party direct marketing communications to you via e-mail or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place prior to the withdrawal of consent.
We will always be clear whenever we intend to process on the basis of consent, and we will process lawfully and only for the purpose for which consent was given.
We may provide your personal data to the following recipients for the purposes set out in this notice:
other companies in our group or under common ownership
our service providers, including
merger or acquisition partners, to the extent that sharing your personal data is necessary
law enforcement agencies, government or public agencies or officials, regulators, and any other person or entity that has the appropriate legal authority where we are legally required or permitted to do so, to respond to claims, or to protect our rights, interests, privacy, property or safety
any other parties, where we have your specific consent to do so.
To form a contract with you, we will need some or all of the personal data described above so that we can perform that contract or the steps that lead up to it: this is set out above in this notice. If we do not receive the data, it will not be possible to perform that contract.
If you sign up to our mailing list, you will have to provide certain personal data. Of course, you may decide to stop receiving our mailings at any time.
We carefully consider the personal data that we store, and we will not keep your information in a form that identifies you for longer than is necessary for the purposes set out in this notice or as required by applicable law. In some instances, we are required to hold data for minimum periods: for example, UK tax law currently specifies a six-year period for retention of some of your personal data.
We may store your contact details, and carry out marketing profiling activities, for direct marketing purposes. If you have given your consent, or if we are otherwise permitted to do so, we may contact you about our services that may be of interest to you. You will be given the opportunity to opt out each time you are contacted.
Although we are based in England, we may transfer your personal information to a location (for example, to a secure server) outside the European Economic Area, if we consider it necessary or desirable for the purposes set out in this notice.
In such cases, to safeguard your privacy rights, transfers will be made to recipients to which a European Commission "adequacy decision" applies (this is a decision from the European Commission confirming that adequate safeguards are in place in that location for the protection of personal data), or will be carried out under standard contractual clauses that have been approved by the European Commission as providing appropriate safeguards for international personal data transfers, or by the adoption of EU-US Privacy Shield.
For more information, please contact us using the details below.
We have security measures in place designed to prevent data loss, to preserve data integrity, and to regulate access to the data. Only our authorised employees, authorised contractors and third parties processing data on our behalf have access to your personal data.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
We take all reasonable steps to keep your data safe and secure and to ensure the data is accessed only by those who have a legitimate interest to do so. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us. Any transmission over the internet is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Please contact us using the details below if you would like more information about this.
We draw your attention to your following rights under data protection law:
right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data

right to have inaccurate personal data that we process about you rectified – we want to ensure that the personal information that we process and retain about you is accurate, so please do remember to tell us about any changes, for example if you have moved house or changed your contact details. It is your responsibility to ensure you submit true, accurate, and complete information to us – and please also update us if this information changes
