While I was away eating fondue and opening secret bank accounts, I missed a load of important emails and news items. The Seasons screening dates was one of them, apologies if you've already read it somewhere else, I know you do go somewhere else sometimes…I don't like it when you go somewhere else… I'd really like you to stay here with me…maybe we need to sit down and talk this one through?
Here's the news then:
The Collective – First dates announced for the forthcoming UK cinema tour of "Seasons", the eagerly awaited third feature from The Collective.
The Glasgow International Bike Film Festival – On Tour have teamed up with The Collective, several UK bike shops and independent cinemas in the UK to bring their eagerly awaited third feature, "Seasons" onto the big screen in a series of special one night only screenings prior to it's release on DVD.
In 2004, The Collective released the self-titled film, The Collective. The film went on to win several prestigious awards and quickly became recognised by mountain bikers around the world as the film that the mountain bike world had been waiting for. In 2006, their second film, Roam, was released to even greater critical and commercial success. The film played to a series of sell out cinema screening throughout the UK.
Now in 2008, The Collective are back with their eagerly anticipated third feature, "Seasons".
Following seven of the worlds top mountain bikers through the course of the four seasons of the year, "Seasons" brings cinematic grandeur to the genre of mountain bike films. From the heat of competition downhill racing to riders ripping singletrack against the backdrop of a summer sunset, "Seasons" is a must see for film fans and bike fans alike. The film stars the biggest names in mountain biking including former UCI World Cup Downhill Champion Steve Peat.
To kick off the UK tour, we've teamed up with CycleSurgery www.cyclesurgery.com

Quote from organiser " I'm delighted to have teamed up with The Collective and several independent bike shops throughout the UK to present "Seasons" as part of a major tour of independent UK cinemas. Organising the sell out Scottish Premiere of Roam was the catalyst for the Glasgow International Bike Film Festival so I'm hoping that by organising a UK tour of "Seasons", the audience will get the opportunity to see these great films where they belong on the big screen" David Gould, Festival Director, Glasgow International Bike Film Festival

'As things stand now, there is absolutely no guarantee that a new work of music will be recognized as such by the educated musical ear, or that it will be possible to hear it as an addition to the great tradition of symphonic sound. A radical break seems to have occurred, with two consequences that the listening public find difficult to absorb: first, modern works of music tend to be self-consciously part of an avant-garde, never content to belong to the tradition but always overtly and ostentatiously defying it; second, these works seem to be melodically impoverished, and even without melody entirely, relying on sound effects and acoustical experiments to fill the void where melody should be. I don't say the emphasis on acoustics is necessarily a fault from the artistic point of view, [but until sound effects] are used in melodic and harmonic structures, the result will remain at a distance from the audience, outside the reach of our musical affections.
It is only the loved and repeated repertoire that will ensure the survival of music, and to be loved and repeated music requires a dedicated audience. Music exists in the ear of the listener, not on the page of the score, nor in the world of pure sound effects. And listeners, deterred by the avant-garde, are in ever-shorter supply…
I identify four developments that have led to the place where we now are. Thanks to these developments a new kind of music has emerged which is less music than a reflection upon music, or perhaps even a reflection on the lack of music, or on the impossibility of music in the age in which we live.'

Both have been charged with espionage and endangering national security. 'Confessions' "One of my missions was to identify speech-makers" Haleh Esfandiari, detained Iranian-AmericanWashington, which broke ties with Iran in 1980, has rejected the accusations and called for their release. In the clip aired on Monday, Esfandiari, an academic at the US-based Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars, said she was "an element" in Georgia's velvet revolution. "One of my missions was to identify speech-makers...," she said in the clip, apparently part of a confession. Esfandiari, who was wearing in a black headscarf, added: "In the name of dialogue, in the name of women's rights, in the name of democracy." Lee Hamilton, president of the Woodrow Wilson Centre, described the charges against Esfandiari as ludicrous and said she was being held in solitary confinement. 'Targeting Islam' Tajbakhsh said in the clip his organisation might have been targeting the Islamic world [Reuters]Tajbakhsh, a consultant with the Open Society Institute founded by billionaire investor George Soros, said in the video that his foundation "might have been targeting Islam". He was shown holding notes and saying "[The role] of the Soros centre after the collapse of communism was to focus on the Islamic world". Iran TV said the full programme In the Name of Democracy would be broadcast on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The station has in the past broadcast what it said were confessions of dissidents serving jail sentences for alleged attempts to undermine Iran. Velvet revolution "To prevent these kinds of people from leaving Iran sends a negative message and is an unfortunate comment" Sean McCormack, US state departmentA US state department spokesman said he had not seen the television images of Esfandiari and Tajbakhsh but said they should be allowed to leave immediately. "They should all be allowed to leave Iran and be reunited with their families," said Sean McCormack. "To prevent these kinds of people from leaving Iran sends a negative message and is an unfortunate comment about the nature of this particular regime." Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, has warned of a US-backed "velvet revolution" using intellectuals and others to bring about "regime change". Two other Iranian-Americans have been charged with security-related issues. One of them has been freed on bail. Ramin Jahanbeglou, an Iranian-Canadian writer detained for four months last year for endangering state security, was also shown in Monday's promotional clip saying: "I had ties with American political institutes." Rights groups and Western diplomats say Iran is cracking down with increasing rigour on dissidents, intellectuals and critical journalists, adding that it may in part be a response to international pressure over its atomic programme.

The next U.S. Census will be conducted in 2020, and those who reside in the United States would be asked to define their ethnic and racial identities. Recently, I have been asked by the U.S. Census Bureau (CB) to review its current proposal for the 'Asian' classification in the Census.
The 2020 census has been attracting much attention of late (examples can be found here, here, and here), particularly from two constituencies – Latinos and Arabs – whose representatives (or rather, active representatives of some of them) demand different sets of categorizations for their respective groups. The Asian categorization is yet to invoke similar emotional responses (and it's doubtful that it will).
Census outcomes are important as they may shape the distribution of resources, population estimates, data about racial discrimination and bias, as well as individual, group and national perceptions about the Untied States. Always a tricky business, a census proves particularly challenging to devise when it comes to classification, identification, and what may amount to a somewhat artificial, potentially forced demarcation of boundaries (ethnic, racial, national, etc.) among individuals and groups. Those interested in Central Asian history are familiar with the momentous 1897 Russian census and the reorientation or disappearance of distinct groups (Sarts, Tajiks, etc.) in the region as a result. Of course, many other examples abound. Among the numerous scholarly treatments of the idea and implementation of the census, I recommend especially Bernard Cohn's essay on the census in South Asia in his book An Anthropologist among the Historians and other Essays.
The 2020 census proposal is still being revised, studied and reviewed, so hopefully the following notes are a description of the process as it stands now and not its final version. It is also important to remember that what guides the Census Bureau in its decisions are, first and foremost, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 1997 race and ethnic standards. In addition, the CB analysts also take under consideration the United Nations' and the U.S. State Department's classification of nations and regions of the world, as well as CIA's World Factbook ethnic data (and these agencies and organization do not always agree with each other). To their credit, CB analysts also seek advice from scholars, experts, community leaders, etc.
As the proposal stands now:
- All Central Asian peoples (incl. Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Turkmens, and Tajiks) are classified as 'White';
- Tibetans and Uyghurs will have separate codes for tabulation, but will be classified as sub-categories of 'Chinese', not as separate entities;
- at the same time, Uyghurs are also classified (racially) as 'White';
- Uyghurs are also not classified with other Central Asian peoples;
- neither are Afghans, who are also classified as 'White';
- other, more minor issues.
As I wrote to the CB, the main challenges to this system of classification, as I perceive them, are:
- The Question of "Origins". At the moment, the Census identifies 'Asians' as people who have "origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia or the Indian Subcontinent…" [OMB, 1997 Race and Ethnic Standards]. However, because of substantial population movements (voluntary and/or coerced) throughout history, demographic fluctuations (mixed ancestry, for example), and difficulty to assess a starting point – what does the OMB count as the starting point of said "original peoples"? 10,000 years ago? 2,000? 500? – it is sometimes impossible to establish with certainty the origins of many of these peoples.
- Example: 'Turks', as far as we can tell, originated in north-east Asia (in areas associated with present-day Mongolia), yet no one seems to suggest that Turkey's residents should be classified as Asians in the Census (and see also 2).
- Citizenship = Ethnicity. The tendency in the Census has been to equate official state boundaries and citizenship as they are exhibited at present (after all, such boundaries can change rapidly following conflicts, treaties, etc.) with ethnic and national identities. This may be misleading or simply erroneous, and may conflict with people's own notion of their identity.
- Example: Uyghurs and Tibetans are considered in the Census proposal as sub-categories of Chinese. In reality, many – if not most – Uyghurs and Tibetans would probably espouse a self-identification that is fundamentally different from Chinese (ethnically / linguistically / culturally). Chinese authorities have been attempting, for over a decade now, and for their own political reasons, to redefine their usage of minzu (the term used for China's 55 'nationalities', in addition to the prevailing Han). Accordingly, some claim, China's official usage of the term gradually has been distanced from its denotation of 'nationalities' and steered toward a more simple meaning of 'ethnic minorities' or simply, 'minorities.' I recommend that Chinese domestic political agendas should not affect U.S. policy regarding its own Census. Incidentally, Uyghurs and Tibetans are the only minzu recognized in the Census (Han, by the way, is not recognized separately).
- A somewhat different example: Would you consider 'Palestinian' to be a sub-category of Israeli or a separate category or both? One imagines that the response to the former may not be enthusiastic on the Palestinian side.
- The Conundrum of what is "White"? or, the growing meaninglessness of the category 'White.' The OMB guidelines suggest that "White" applies to any person who has "origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa" [see also item no. 1 above regarding the question of "origins"]. At the moment, all Central Asian peoples (Afghans, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, Uzbeks, Turkmens, Uyghurs, etc.) are classified as 'White' even if none of these peoples (as groups) fit the official OMB guidelines. To be sure, historically, "Middle Eastern" peoples had contributed to the creation and continuous re-shaping of many of the aforementioned peoples, but not to the point of considering them as "Middle Eastern" (and therefore, paradoxically perhaps, as 'White'). As the classification stands now, none of the Central Asian peoples should be defined as 'White' unless they themselves decided, for whatever reason, that such a definition characterizes them best.
- Group and Individual Self-identification. Naturally, this is a complex issue. How does one recognize group self-identification and how does one resolve the tension between group self-identification and individual self-identification? For example, the Hui (so called "Chinese Muslims", numbering, according to some estimates, over ten million people, and constituting one of the minzu) seem to belong, generally speaking, with the Han majority in most respects, and may or may not be considered a separate 'ethnic' group or a nationality. I tend to view them more in the sense of a community, similar (to an extent) with much of India's very large Muslim minority. It thus stands to reason that neither group – Hui or India's Muslims in general – would be included in the Census as a category or sub-category (and they are not included, at the moment).
- Over-Simplification and Generalization. One realizes that such a census classification may be a necessary evil, but ultimately individuals should have the prerogative to express their self-identification and not resort to prescribed classifications.
In light of the above, and in addition to it, and following the guidelines that I received, I also recommended that:
- 'Tibetan' should be classified as a separate category, and not as a sub-category of Chinese.
- 'Uyghur' should be classified as a separate category, and not as a sub-category of Chinese.
- 'Uyghur' should not be classified as 'White', but rather as Asian, and also under the Regional heading of Central Asian.
- Central Asian peoples (Afghans, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, Uzbeks, Turkmens, etc.) should not be classified as 'White' but as 'Asian.'
- 'Afghan' should be grouped together with 'Central Asian' peoples in the regional grouping.
Finally, I should add that, (1.) in the Census every individual would be able to mark whatever category (or categories) of identity that s/he wishes to mark; (2.) certain guidelines compel the CB to list only ethnic groups that had "a minimum of 1,000 or more people reporting that term in the 2010 Census." This is, of course, quite problematic, because such a requirement does not take into account many criteria (availability of certain terms, knowledge that certain terms can or cannot be used, group awareness, political developments, immigration, etc.).

|De Blasio and Early Supporters, Brooklyn. Photo by JT Marlin.
What impressed me most about the article was a campaign contributor's acknowledging that late giving to a candidate was not buying much, that it was like "buying a stock at its 52-week high", as opposed to important early volunteering and money that paid for de Blasio's advertising campaign. The EMILY in "Emily's List" stands for "Early Money Is Like Yeast."
Both labor unions and real estate contributors mostly put their early bets on Christine Quinn or Bill Thompson. Polls as of February showed Quinn ahead three to one, with de Blasio just one percentage point behind Thompson, and I noted that de Blasio had the advantage of incumbency. But then Anthony Weiner shot into first place, showing that enthusiasm for front-runners Quinn and Thompson was weak. So when Weiner's campaign faded, de Blasio's ad featuring Dante Blasio and his Afro provided the boost for de Blasio to take Weiner's place in the lead. After de Blasio won the Democratic primary outright, it became clear that Joe Lhota was battling against a huge spread in the polls. Lhota's attack ad on crime got nothing for him, as de Blasio added five percentage points to his lead. So the campaign cash is now flooding in to de Blasio's campaign.
The final debate between de Blasio and Lhota is on Wednesday evening (sandwiched between the anniversary of Sandy on Tuesday and Halloween on Thursday) from 7 to 8 pm on NBC-TV.

Oliver Stone should have made that Margaret Thatcher movie after all.
Posted by Vadim Rizov on
Five years ago, Oliver Stone joked in an interview that he was interested in making a movie about Margaret Thatcher starring Meryl Streep. It was quickly distorted into a rumor he had to deny: "Can you imagine me doing the life of Margaret Thatcher?," he scoffed.
Well, joke's on him: five years on, that project's really happening, except now as directed by Phyllida Lloyd, the woman who made "Mamma Mia!," so everyone loses. With Stone at the helm, we would've at least seen if he could empathize as well with the Iron Lady as he, surprisingly, has with Nixon.
Instead he went to Venezuela and made a documentary about Hugo Chavez, "South of the Border," that's the kind of blatant agit-prop it's difficult to imagine helping anyone trying to make a reasonable case for Venezuela's health and stability right now (a tough task regardless). It's being touted as "The movie the right-wing media does not want you to see," with adds listing pull-quotes in both "Praise" and "Condemnation" categories. (Unsurprisingly, Bill Maher loved it, while the National Review didn't.)
While it's likely to end up just preaching to the converted, this is a tried and true tactic to position yourself as the little guy fighting against a media world that's borderline controlled by the right — not a major exaggeration, insofar as rumors jump-started by Fox News are then forced to be soberly "reported" and commented on by the media.
Despite this, most reviews are not kind to the film, and those negative notices are hardly all from right-leaning outlets (the far from right-leaning Village Voice calls it "propaganda in the form of a home movie").
I've always believes that Stone's good when he's just as far in over his head as the audience is and unsure what he's trying to say. He should've made that Thatcher movie after all — that could have provided something to actually think about.

DirRequest control is a composite control: a TextBox and a Button.
Variable $hCtl_dialog1_DirRequest1_Txt is not the selected path but the handle of the textbox control.
Take a look at the NSISDesigner generated script.
There should be function, executed by the button when pressed, called fnc_hCtl_MyDialog_MyCtrl_Click (on your side).
This function calls reads current textbox content and stores it into $R0
${NSD_GetText} $hCtl_dialog1_DirRequest1_Txt $R0
shows the browser selection dialog, then reads the selected folder and set it back to the textbox with
${NSD_SetText} $hCtl_dialog1_DirRequest1_Txt "$R0"
so your code should first read the content of textbox into a variable, then concatenate it with your filename (the MessageBox is just for debugging):
${NSD_GetText} $hCtl_dialog1_DirRequest1_Txt $R0 StrCpy $R0 "$R0\file.txt" MessageBox MB_OK "$R0" FileOpen $4 "$R0" w ...
Hope this helps...

Any idea why?

Here's a sample script.
Compile, run the installer, choose a directory then press Close: you'll receive a MessageBox with the path you choosed + "\file.txt".

My last Korea post is all about my first time in Gangnam. I don't remember it being as popular way back when I first visited Seoul, but nowadays, it is considered as one of the fastest-rising, most upscale places in the city.
I heard the chances of celebrity/model/idol sightings here are also much higher because of the number of entertainment companies scattered all over Gangnam. If I'm not mistaken, SM, JYP, CUBE, and FNC are within walking distance from one another. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on my side since I didn't get to see anyone I recognized, but at least I got to visit some familiar places that I've seen on Korean TV shows!
First stop was COEX Mall, one of Gangnam's newest shopping malls. My mom and I stopped by here for a quick lunch before heading out to do some more sightseeing.
Suddenly, Audrey Hepburn.
A lot of the stores were still under construction last October, but it was a great move for them to put up these small art exhibits to drive traffic and interaction.
Plaid for fall and winter will always be classic.
If you're looking for third wave coffee in Korea, do visit Coffee Sedona in COEX! They serve 49th parallel, Intelligentsia and Stumptown beans.
The interiors are really cool too! Very hip and cozy.
Still dreaming about Coffee Sedona until now.
Don't be shocked by the amount of plastic surgery ads all over Gangnam. There are over 500 clinics just in this area! No wonder Korea is slowly becoming the plastic surgery capital of the world. They say that 1 out of 5 Koreans have had some sort of plastic surgery done on themselves. That's… a lot!
Flashback to 2009 – Boys Over Flowers and SuJu.
Thanks to The Return of Superman, the Robocar Poli song is stuck in my head (in Minguk's voice). Here's Amber and Heli!
Fantastic baby.
Outside COEX Mall. Gangnam looks so fancy (but you already know, thanks to PSY). Around this time, my mom and I decided to take the subway to Sinsa Station for Garosu-gil.
First thought upon arriving in Sinsa-dong: I think I belong here…
Checked out Basic House's collaboration with designer Chae Kyu In. If we only had winter in the Philippines, I would've splurged on all the pretty items!
School girl chic. Always relevant.
Finally, Garosu-gil! A lot of people say that it's like Seoul's version of NYC's SoHo. If Aoyama and Harajuku (in Japan) had a baby, it would be Garosu-gil. Just the right marriage of chic and quirky!
Anyhow, Garosu-gil means "tree-lined streets", and wow, it was my first time to see a whole line of ginkgo trees! Absolutely gorgeous.
(But don't mind the giant foot… haha)
Speaking of giant feet…
If that's true, then… how? What a dream!
Good shoe take you good place!
Look like a K-pop idol with these fashionable specs.
Toys for the kids at heart.
I found the place where Kris found the overpriced French(?) Spongebob underwear.
The Hats On in EXO Showtime! This was the exact same store where they bought Chanyeol's hats.
Where Kris and Tao took photos of/with the giant stuffed bear. Also, wow @ this store front
Definitely the hippest place in Seoul. Considering staying in this area the next time I visit! There are so many cafes and restaurants I want to try!
Great place to ogle at Korean street style too!
Everyone here looks like a K-pop idol with their perfect hair, make-up, and fashion.
Sneakers are a must in Korean style! I swear they can wear the most basic stuff and still look super stylish.
They're the only ones who can pull this look off.
#TrisseyTravels in Korea 2015 – let's make it happen, Crissey!
Wide-brimmed hats are all the rage right now, but you can only find this design in Garosu-gil.
Stuff that you normally see in music videos and photoshoots.
Halloween mood.
Spotted some street style photographers who were taking a break. Not sure if models or photographers, because their outfits were also worthy for a photo.
Hello typo!
I think it should follow that the caption for this should be "pet allowed but no baking".
This little nook is life.
This one too <3
Youk Shim Won is a popular Korean artist whose work we can appreciate in the form of everyday items such as bags and clothes. The brand is also slowly getting more popular in other countries such as Singapore, China, Italy, and the US.
MCM-branded van in front of the huge MCM store in Garosu-gil.
Lightbulb moment.
Even their wrapping paper is hip.
Another quaint nook that I need to try the next time I go to Korea.
A Korea post is not complete without my favorite Korean style icons, the Jung sisters!
JAJU flagship store! I love this place so much, huu. They have an "urban nourishment" concept that totally fits the kind of lifestyle that I want.
For us coffee lovers.
The outfits on the left = my future mom-daughter fashion goals. Lol, I feel so old mentioning this.
More fashionable specs! Giant ones will always make your face look smaller, and you know how Koreans are obsessed with making their faces look as small as possible.
How fitting it is to see PSY Over Flowers. ~*almost paradise~* in Gangnam!
Thanks for following my adventures in Korea! I will be spamming everyone with Japan entries from now on. Get ready!

Finding Hope and Help in Seasons of Grief and Suffering
Becky Baudouin was devastated when she learned of an inoperable tumor on her mother's lung? Her fear triggered an alarm, followed by apprehension and anxiety.
In her book "Cancer, Faith, and Unexpected Joy" Baudouin relates stories from her childhood, and expresses her fears and insecurities at home, in school, and in her relationships. She tells of how, as a teenager, she became a follower of Jesus and the impact this has made in her life.
A central theme of lessons learned from her mother is beautifully woven throughout the tapestry of the book. Each fast moving chapter is filled with faith building examples and scriptural promises.
Lessons I learned from reading "Cancer, Faith, and Unexpected Joy" include:
- A willingness to become vulnerable
- To respect the feelings of other family members
- God never intended for us to walk alone
- Our times are in God's hands
- To be joyful in hope and patient in affliction
- The peacefulness of our mutual faith drawing together in a unique closeness
- Accepting the process of death and the conflicting feelings of loss and agonizing dread, and the wonderful new life awaiting in heaven
"Cancer, Faith, and Unexpected Joy" is an important and meaningful resource for anyone experiencing suffering or facing the uncertainties and grief brought on by a terminal illness.
A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review purposes. The opinions expressed are my own.

If you didn't tune in to the various live blogs covering Apple's press conference this morning, this video does a good job of summarizing the main features of the phone.
While the new iPhone is far from revolutionary, it's certainly a much-welcomed improvement. For the first time ever, Apple has increased the size of the iPhone's display. It's longer, but not wider — so you can see more content at any given moment, but the phone still fits comfortably in your hand.
In addition to a bigger screen, the new phone is thinner, lighter, and faster. To be specific, its 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter. In terms of speed, Apple claims that its new A6 chip is twice as fast as older versions — but we can't be sure about that until we get our hands on one. According to the video, the new chip is also more efficient, and helps to improve battery life as well.
All in all, it looks like a vast improvement over the 4S, but be sure to check out our side-by-side spec comparison to see just where it improves.

Orders requiring a specific ink color, special paper stock incompatible with copiers, large quantities (b/w or black plus another color), envelopes, and any type of document such as letterhead and certificates that will be run back through a personal printer or copier, are produced using the offset presses.
One, two-color press, one single-color press, and an imagesetter.
Paper types/weight
Our printing presses handle paper sizes up to 11"x17". A wide variety of weights, colors, and textures are available. Many factors are considered in the selection of paper for your project. Document Services staff can help you select or suggest the most appropriate and economical paper for your project.
Ink colors
A wide variety of ink colors are available. One to four "spot" colors are the most common and four-color process printing (ex. documents which include full color photographs) is also available.
Document preparation
Most documents printed on the press usually require graphic design work to achieve the desired look and effect. After the document has been prepared, polyester printing plates are produced.
If you wish to submit camera-ready copy and the job requires more than one ink color, please call us to discuss color separation issues. Each color must be on its own original and meet specific guidelines.
Production time
The amount of time required to complete your job will depend upon such factors as the number of copies to be printed, availability of special paper stock, number of ink colors required, and shop workload.
Publications, unusual jobs, and large volume jobs require more time than simple forms, letterhead, envelopes, and other single color jobs.
Graphic design and bindery requirements are separate processes and if needed, require additional time.

In October 2013 I entered into a deal to buy Helio N77TR, and at the time when it was in annual inspection, I had the wings completely removed for through inspection of the spar mod, and all wing attach points, it all came out clean as can be with no cracks and no corrosion. I also has the engine mount completely rebuilt.
We only flew it a few times in 2014, and it was not until April of 2015 that I bought it outright, and put it in the shop for a 4 month teardown rebuild of the engine, and complete, and expensive make over with the gear, and many other things.

E-mail from Ken slightly edited;
I've been very busy for the past 3 years rebuilding my Helio, and now, I'm happy with where I've brought it.
You may find this of interest, in October 1973, Bob Casebeer at the Helio Factory approved my H-250 Helio, to be the first full conversion to a Model H-295 Super Courier, I have now finally got the FAA to correct the paperwork to show that, all the paperwork, and approval was done in Oct. 1973, and clear up a clerical paperwork mistake by the FAA, showing it as a H-250 for the past 44 years, it's now rectified, and is a H-295, Super Courier in the FAA records, and on my registration.
I've got it setup for 35", 31", 29", standard 850x6 wheels, or Federal 3500A skis, currently on 29" wheels

Ken sent some pictures and had this to say:
I've been slow to send you any photos of my Helio. Sorry. I've got thousands of great photos. It's painful as I'm planning to sell it, and I want to keep it for ever.
These are the Photos of LED Sunspot 64, on left wing, 2 Sunspot 46 in Nose Cowl, with right wing comparison of old incandesant which is much dimmer.
This is the landing lt setup I would want to have because they are even lower current draw and they are vibration resistant and never burn out. Unfortunately, if I still had my Helio, I wold probably have the High intensity zeon bulbs in the cowling I was just waiting for them to be STC'ed when I sold my Helio and I wasn't knowledgable enough about the retractible landing lts, I thought they were only allowed on the H-391 as a single lt in the left wing.
Now if I was living in AK or Canada and especially if I was on skis the retractible landing Lt is the setup that I would want. My understanding is that if you are landing on a lake at night you can partially deploy them so they are pointing down as you make a flyby of your intended landing spot. Another thing is you can use that pulse lt thing for better visibility and collision avoidance during the day time.

The overhead picture looks typical of others with the retractable lts.

Broken bird
on takeoff, during a routine flight from MN to Juneau, AK to take ownership of Helio #2514 N77TR to its perspective new home. Prior to departure a regional jet had departed RWY 21 at Great Falls, MT, 3 minutes after that Helio N77TR departed in the same sequence, an approaching cold front changed wind direction abruptly causing a 20 KT tailwind, there was never enough time to recover, as the sequence began the tail was lifted and a ground loop ensued, the main gear collapsed a/c fell onto nose, reduction gear case broke and prop separated from engine substantial damage @ Great Falls MT, 8/18

"""""to take ownership of Helio #2514 N77TR to its perspective new home"""""
So was it a new Helio pilot or an experienced one ?
Those big tires don't always break as much as the small one. I wonder why since you can apply the same energy on the foot pedal. But even if i don't understand well why, they just brake sooooo much less. In fact, they brake by themselves from being a drag affair. When you apply the brakes, you only send a tendency to the right or the left. You don't have a positive firm lockable brake on one of the wheels. The wind was turning. That means that the headwind don't come a tailwind without passing by a crosswind. If you have a left crosswind with an Helio intake-off, it is a challenge. A 20 knots tailwind is also a challenge in any tailwheel plane. It means that as you accelerate to gain at least 20K, you need to use the brake to keep it aligned. The rudder won't work until then. At least. With those tire, it is quite a challenge. Use too much rudder on those terrible tailwheels that we have on the Helio, and the clutch will open. You will have free castering. ( unless you have a lock. But i never saw an Helio with a good working one ) Then you are left with brakes to control it. Even the interceptor won't work in the right direction with a tailwheel. I don't think a take-off with big tires can be made with a tailwind-left crosswind. Try it a dozen times, in the same conditions, and you will have the same result half the time.

Thanks for reply Louis.
Some things I didn't take into consideration or understand were the fact that there was probably a 20 kt crosswind at some point while transitioning to the tailwind, and I still think in mph a lot of the time 20 kts is 23mph my airspeed indicator on my Helio was in mph. I never flew an aircraft on 29" wheels although I did know that it decreases braking. All my intentional downwind takeoffs as well as all but one of my intentional downwind landings were with a constant downwind small wheels
gear on a hard surface. My one downwind landing with a Helio was unintentional off airport and with a light wind, small wheels and did require hard braking.
I suspect that if I had been in the same situation not being that great of a tailwheel pilot I would have probably wrecked the a/c. I tried to wreck it a couple times in crosswind situations as it was. I was lucky I guess, and as said some times that counts for more than skill.
I talked with another person and they thought that the higher angle of attack because of 29'' tires and small tailwheel may have exacerbated the situation as well. This persons belief was that if you are going to use 29'' wheels that double puck brakes are a must and you should have a large tailwheel to maintain the Helios original angle of attack on takeoff, especially with the landing gears backward tricycle configuration.
I'm not sure but I think I remember
Rich Carter
saying that his tailwheel brings the Helio back to proper angle of attack for takeoff.

I wonder if those tires are the beaver tires or the cub 35s ? The cub 35 will not have enough sidewall support and fold under if sideload is applied with a heavy plane. I've seen a bunch of bent axles on cubs from this.

You are right about the big tires not stopping as well. There are studies out there in the automotive world that clearly indicate that oversize tires on light trucks increase braking distance substantially. It has to do with the physics of the tire size and the limitation of the pressure that the brake system can provide. Installed on a Helio on pavement, a six inch brake disc trying to stop a 35" tire, has a tough time. I cannot explain the finer details of the science. Maybe someone else can.

A larger tire is just a longer lever arm acting on the brake from the contact point of the tire and the ground. The larger the tire the more leverage the tire has on the brake rotor. A 35" tire with standard double puck 6" brakes is probably too much tire. The other Helio I know of on 35" tires had Pilatus Porter wheels and brakes. Those are probably strong enough for the Helio.
I looked at a lot of photos on the insurance page. No idea if the tires were Beaver or Cub tires, my theory was and still is sidewall roll and the photos of the sheared axle doesnt refute it. The wheels appeared to be lightweight 10" wheels with 3 bolt brakes. Those brake disks weren't strong enough for a 29" tire on my plane....certainly a known weakness with larger tires. The tail-wheel did look awfully small, no reason to have 35" mains with such a tiny little tail wheel. And the visibility must have been terrible! Anyway it's all speculation on my part piecing it together from the photos.
Too damn bad though, it was a beautiful plane. At least, other than egos, everyone was unhurt.

I had the reverse problem on my Husky when I bought it last year. It came with 6.00x6 and the brakes were scary grabby. A switch to 850's and now the braking action is more proper. RC is right, its all about the radius of the wheel/tire combo and the relative leverage that it has on the brake rotor. One of the reasons a dude with a truck running huge tires on stock brakes, speeding down the highway at 85mph, with a bumper height at your shoulder is about the scariest thing I ever see on the road.

After I posted yesterday I had a good conversation with a guy here at the airport that explained it well. He said the same thing Russel did about the lever arm. Then he compared it to weight/arm/moment in a weight and balance computation and that made sense also.

c/n 2514 was sold to
Lance Goodwin
it will be deregistered as destroyed, no
will be taken up it will be exported as salvage and go to Kluane Lake YT where it will be scrapped for parts
Edit to History paragraph
Paul Svenkeson MN placed on Federal 3500A wheel skis sold 5/15, Kenneth McAllister Lantau Island Hong Kong (I Corp a Non Citizen corp located in USA), after refurbish will be relocated to Minneapolis MN,
paperwork and registry after 44 yrs now shows complete conversion to model H-295, installed 1 retractable Sunspot 64 LED landing lt in each wing and 2 Sunspot 46 LED lts in cowling
, instrument panel refurbished, A/C removed from retractable wheel skis placed on 29" tundra wheels, sold 7/18 Eric Ericson AK
on takeoff, during a routine flight from MN to Juneau, AK to take ownership of Helio #2514 N77TR to its perspective new home. Prior to departure a regional jet had departed RWY 21 at Great Falls, MT, 3 minutes after that Helio N77TR departed in the same sequence, an approaching cold front changed wind direction abruptly causing a 20 KT tailwind, there was never enough time to recover, as the sequence began the tail was lifted and a ground loop ensued, the main gear collapsed a/c fell onto nose, reduction gear case broke and prop separated from engine substantial damage @ Great Falls MT, 8/18
, repossessed by Insurance co and sold 10/18 at Holman Aviation MT by Starr Aviation Salvage to Lance Goodwin Kluane Lake YT dereg export 11/18 to Canada
C-reg ntu
, after evaluation as damaged beyond economical repair it was decided to scrap and disassemble for parts
If the salvage of N77TR had sold for a reasonable price there were other plans afoot to bring one of the other broken H-250's
back to flying condition using this data plate.
The picture below gives a good look at the Tundra tire that was believed to have exacerbated the accident because of the small tailwheel increasing the angle of attack and by folding sideways because the Helio is much heavier than the aircraft these tundra tires are generally used on.
Below probably last picture of N77TR before more disassembly. How it looked upon arrival at Kluane Lake, YT.

– 3 and a half out of 5 stars
Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) is back with a new girlfriend, Carly (VS model Rosie Huntington-Whitley) and more Transformers action. When discoveries from the 1969 expedition to the Moon bring about new hopes of rebuilding Cybertron, Earth is in danger!
I think I prefer Megan Fox as Shia's love interest, she seems more relateable and believable… Rosie is hot, yes, but I don't think she was very convincing when she confronted Megatron. Plus, she didn't look very comfortable with the robots. As with any Transformers movie, it is so very sad to see "good" robots die/lose parts! But it always seem that the "bad" robots wreaks the most havoc because they have flashier skills (ie. Shockwave). Quoting Epps (Tyrese Gibson), "why do the bad robots always get the cool shit?!"
I thought there was a brief bromance moment when Megatron helped Optimus Prime in the big fight but I could still be in the cloud of X-Men: First Class. Bumblebee is still as adorable, and I really liked that scene where he transformed while Sam was still in the car – LaBeouf's express was hilarious! Plus, Patrick Dempsey is a bad guy! WHY??? But he was quite good at playing bad actually and he seemed to enjoy it. Plus, him fighting LaBeouf is good fun!

The cosplay shop Fragment is offering a Kyubey cosplay costume for 14800 yen which equals to $148 US. (Source)
Now that Madoka Magica ended just recently, I'm going to miss Kyubey's trolltastic stare.
Finally, after postponed for about one month, we're presented with the last 2 episodes of Madoka Magica, in one go. In the end Madoka Magica is more about friendship, romance as well as family values. Although I believe sacrifice would only lead to an incomplete achievement, there are times sacrifice is inevitable. That's what Madoka Magica have taught me. Personally I wish this series was made into full season (24-26 episodes) but I think for it to end at 12th episode is fine too, considering how depressing the story is (I wouldn't know how much I could bear the plot should it had another 12 episodes).
I believe the most anticipated moment is we get to see the Walpurgis Night event in a more detailed fashion. This must have been the question most of the fans eagerly waiting for an answer. All I can say is Homura fought it alone, but she can't defeat it alone, and lucky she's not going to do it alone until the end. Madoka became a mahou shoujo in the end but her wish was something that I never thought of. It was like "Whoa! Unpredictable!" For those who have yet to see it please do so as I'm not going to spill any more than what I already have here.
Madoka Magica ended with what I'd call a bittersweet ending, I mean something that you could perceive as positive bad ending or negative good ending. Personally I don't really prefer that kind of ending, which has similar feeling to Fractale's bittersweet ending too but I guess it's OK since it's not really the end of everything for Madoka and there's still hope for everybody. I enjoyed the series to its fullest without any regret. I'll keep it as one of the best anime of all time. For a score, I might have given it a perfect 10/10 score but 0.5 deducted for the animation which I think might have been better if it wasn't Shaft. Anyways, thanks for watching.

Importance of File Storage
When it comes to business, one of the most crucial aspects to be taken care of is the company's important data or information. Every business organization will have some standard set of files or documents that contain procedures for its entire operation. Hence, those files become extremely vital even for the daily functioning of those organizations, and therefore businesses have started to invest in different file storage systems to ensure that their files and folders are secured completely for future use. One of the most popular file storage systems is the cloud, which was specially designed to store and manage files efficiently. This enhancement in technology has been a boon to businesses from different industries, especially those from the information technology sector, that depend on valuable business data for their operations. Effective and efficient management of your company's data will make sure that you do not lose your data at any circumstances, even during the event of a disaster.
In addition to this, one other potential need to store your important business files and folders would be the need to identify and restore only the required data from the system more quickly, without having to waste too much time searching entire folders or files for that particular data. A cloud-based file storage system also provides a cost effective approach to protect data that are critical to a business, which benefits the organization by offering multiple layers of data protection at a reasonably lower price tag.
File Level Backup
File level backup is basically a different method of backing up the files and folders that are present on a storage capacity. This system is different from the volume level backup system, in which backing up has to be done for the entire volume. On the contrary, file level backup is usually done at the level of files and folders alone. This method offers a better level of accessibility to the system's users.
Why Do You Need File Level Backup?
As discussed before, file level backup enables business organizations to save volumes on the cost associated with data or file storage. Still, this form of backup has much more benefits to offer to its users than just cost effectiveness. File level storage system is a faster approach for the backing up of mission critical information or data. These systems allow data operators to organize the most important backup data or files into individual logical groups, thus providing augmented compliance of choice for your organization's IT staff while also ascertaining the associated backup policies. This makes the management of your company's information lifecycle much easier and enables you to take in tremendous savings in your operational budget.
Having less number of your office files backed up carries with it one major advantage, which is that it is quicker, discharging limited network traffic and minimizing storage expenses. Another visible feature of this enhanced mode of backup can be recognized during times of data recovery. When you contain only lesser amount of files or folders in your original backup set, then the time taken to search, find, and restore a specific information, file or folder will be significantly less, and also the overall time taken for the recovery of data will be less. This results in effective reduction of the system's downtime as well as reduction in the overall time taken for data recovery.
In addition, such alignment of data will also help your IT staff from the perspective of data lifecycle management (DLM). Yes, it will enable them to more easily label and sort down their data backup sets into different groups logically. For instance, all payroll documents can be organized or arranged in the "Payroll" backup set. This process will allow for quick and easy access and recovery of data at any time.
Disaster Recovery
Another important feature and benefit offered by a cloud-based file storage system is disaster recovery. Following are the ways in which a file storage system can be of help during disastrous circumstances:
- For the complete protection of your valuable business data and also for the better management of a disaster event, data backups must be made on a reliable, fast, fault tolerant, and robust data storage system, such as the cloud.
- Among the other most important visible features of a cloud-based file storage system, auto file recovery is one vital feature that enables real time recovery of your data, files or folders. This is important because it helps in the system's recovery up to when it was good the last time it was backed up, before the happening of a major disastrous event.
- Also, a cloud-based file storage system will allow you to restore data or files from a specific backup set. This will prove to be helpful when you need only a particular file to update it or when you want to confirm the details in a specific document.
- Another important feature offered by a cloud-based file storage system is data compression. This feature basically offers enhanced usage of space and time. The data compression feature will not only lead to a decline in the general network traffic at the time of the backup process, but also enables you to recognize augmented usage of bandwidth and the most effective use of storage space.
On the whole, a cloud-based file or data storage system will enable you to manage your important files and folders without having to use much storage space. The level of convenience offered by these systems had made the operations of several business organizations, especially those dealing with information technology, much easier

Med Sci Monit 2012; 18(7): HY23-26
Major thematic threads linking extensive preclinical and clinical efforts have established a working mechanistic scheme whereby atypical antipsychotic drugs ameliorate negative DSM IV diagnostic criteria by effecting relatively potent blockade of serotonin (5-HT)(2A) receptors coupled with weaker antagonism of dopamine D(2) receptors in frontal cortical areas. These contentions are more or less supported by in vitro binding experiments employing cloned receptors on cultured cells, although significant functional involvement of 5-HT(2C) receptors has also been proposed. It is interesting that a key statistical analysis indicates a major shift in usage back to typical antipsychotic agents for management of schizophrenia from 1995–2008, whereas off-label usage of atypical antipsychotic agents was markedly increased or expanded for bipolar affective disorder. Importantly, meta-analyses generally did not support efficacy differences between the other atypical antipsychotics compared with the older typical agents. A critical examination of putative functional linkages of morphine and its type-selective mu opioid receptor to higher order cortical regulation of cognitive processes may provide novel insights into human behavioral processes that are severely impaired in schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

For all the continuing furore around Lib Dem MP Greg Mulholland calling health minister Ivan Lewis an arsehole, he is not of course the first politician to utter the a-word in the course of parliamentary business.
The word was used by the Scottish Tory maverick Sir Nicholas Fairbairn when he intervened on Tony Blair during a 1994 debate on equalising the age of consent for homosexual and heterosexual acts. On this occasion, Hansard actually allowed it through rather than placing the word in asterisks, and the full exchange can be read HERE.

It was the Summer of 2011, and Xbox had their 'Summer of Arcade', first game on the list was Bastion. From what I can tell, I started playing this game in August 2011 and enjoyed what I played. I then remember getting stuck with some stupid jumping frogs, rage quit and never went back. Now in the good old days (pre Year of Shame challenge) I'd have never bothered going back to it, as I'd have something new and shiny in my hands….and what a waste that would have been.
Bastion, although quite a simple hack and slash at heart, does get massively flush out with some RPG elements, and a interesting and well told story.
There were a number of things that originally attracted me to Bastion, first was the way that the world is generated around you (kind of like a fog of war reveal, but in a very cool way), and the way your progress is narrated. If you do something silly like fall off the edge of the world, the narrator will say the likes of "and he falls to his death. (pause) Nah, I'm just kidding with you."
The game is based around a hub-world called the Bastion, which is your central 'go to' place on the game, and any bonuses/rewards you pick up throughout the 15 levels will be waiting for you here when you get back. In the Bastion, you gradually build up a handful of buildings including the likes of the Arsenal, the Forge, Lost and Found, Memorial, Shrine and Distillery . As you can probably work out from the names, you choose you weapon types at the Arsenal, you upgrade said weapons at the Forge, you can buy things at the Lost and Found, and potions at the Distillery. At the shrine you can switch on game changes, sort of like switching on the skulls in Halo, and at the Memorial, you get to see which game challenges you've unlocked.
As mentioned above, there are 15 levels in the game, or should I say 15 shards throughout 15 levels that you need to collect to rebuild the Bastion. As well as these 15 well crafted levels you have a series of 'Proving grounds'. As you unlock a new weapon, you are able to go to said proving ground, and get good. With each proving ground you have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize, these can either be based on a time based challenge, number of waves, or number of enemies destroyed.
This was a really well told story, with beautiful graphics, and the narrating made this game stand out as something special. Cracking game, and can highly recommend it.

One working HP-41CV (thanks to FixThatCalc).
One not working HP-29C (details at the end of this blog entry) with manuals (in Swedish).

HP-41C Standard Applications
HP-41 accessories
- Math I, with manual, quick reference card and keyboard overlays.
- X Functions, manual missing.
- Games, with manual and keyboard overlays.
A module holder with my two missing port 'protectors' :-)
Keyboard layovers for the modules AND two blank ones and one unidentified one!
I know I got magnetic cards laying around somewhere so I would be interesting in using the card reader. Actual found some cards that I remembered put aside because damaged. However, still the way reader behaved on them may suggest it is suffering from old age (that and the fact they usual do). The good news (yep been chating with FixThatCalc) is that it can fixed, may very well soon be another package on it's way...
The 29C sadly is not for any practical reasons repairable I have been assured. It look brand new (did not have a long and active life), it may have a future as spare parts!
It bugs me that manual for the X functions is missing. I never got much time to play around with those and there is some I would like to utilize in my nowadays programming. Well, it may still turn up and anyway eventual I am going to get the museum's dvd set which includes the manual.

Explaining why swap is recomended on diskless clients
being more presise using diskless, and explaining where swap can be run
|Deletions are marked like this.
|Additions are marked like this.
|Line 31:
|Line 31:
|* swap on each workstation is recommended. Schools has experienced that clients with 256 MB RAM freezes when swap is not enabled
|* swap on each diskless workstation is recommended. Schools has experienced that clients with 256 MB RAM freezes when swap is not enabled. Swap can be run on the server or on local harddrive
This page is suposed to become the instructions in how you can run Diskless workstations from a skolelinux3.0 installation. Diskless workstations are also marketed using the term "LowFat Clients" or "Halfthin Clients" or "stateless workstations".
A diskless workstation is similar to a thin client in that it bootes from the network with pxe. But instead of running applications on the server and displaying them on the thin client screen with X. A diskless workstations mounts it's root filesystem from its next-server, and runs all applications on the local hardware. You can think about it like a regular workstation with a very long harddrive cable.
- to better utilize the power of your client hardware
- to get a full workstation experience, with all local devices working correctly
- but still maintain central configuration and no maintainance of the individual client.
- lower the demands of the central server, or run more clients of the same server.
- on a 100 Mbit/s network it's possible to run 150 diskless workstations compared to 50-60 thin client
why not
- older hardware will be very slow as a (diskless) workstation, you should have a P3 800-1000Mhz with 256-512MB ram, or there about. Try for yourself and see if your hardware is powerfull enough as a diskless workstation.
- the workstations will require more horsepower, and will be more noisy then a thinclient. you will have CPU fan and PSU fan noise. I have yet to find a resonably priced 100% silent computer with enough power. So you loose the 40 computers in a room and no noise experience you can get from thin clients.
- fans means moving parts, moving parts means higher risk of hardware failure. a thinclient is less likely to display the aging syndroms that regular pc's experience. Like the noise from a worn out fan. Expect slightly more hardware issues with diskless workstations then you do with thinclients with no moving parts.
- prerequisites
- a regular skolelinux setup with tjener and preferably internet access
- a fresh installed skolelinux terra/etch thin client server, that you want to run diskless workstations from (this server is promoted as "next-server" by tjener's dhcp)
- combined server work fine (You must not edit pxelinux.cfg/default and in dhcpd.conf you must only enable your workstations).
- swap on each diskless workstation is recommended. Schools has experienced that clients with 256 MB RAM freezes when swap is not enabled. Swap can be run on the server or on local harddrive
enough space on /opt? It need to be at least 3.5 GiB.
lvextend --size +1G /dev/vg_system/opt resize2fs /dev/vg_system/opt
- Edit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list.
- Because the CDs and DVD is not signed, one need to use network APT sources.
- Add the security repository.
deb http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian/ etch main deb http://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux/ etch local deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
Then run the command /usr/sbin/ltsp-make-client This will adapt your chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 to diskless workstation, and install the packages needed for a workstation there. If it fails for some reason you can run it with sh -x /usr/sbin/ltsp-make-client to get a more verbose output. (run outside the chroot)
if you run this with bash you will end up with a minor bug in /etc/dhcpd3/dhcpd.conf. The default dash shell in Skolelinux-3.0 works fine.
add nfsroot=/opt/ltsp/i386 to the end of the append line in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
- if you don't you'll get an error on the client about not being able to mount /var/lib
- edit your main dhcpd.conf file located on tjener.intern:/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, you'll need
- a next-server line pointing to the server serving diskless workstation root. ie the ltsp-server where you ran ltsp-make-client
- remember to restart the dhcp service
- Connect your diskless workstation to your workstation network 10.0.2.0/23
- The same client can function as thinclient or diskless workstation, depending on where you connect it. 10.0.2.0/23 for workstations, 192.168.0.0/24 for thin clients.
This is setup in the file /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/ltsp_set_runlevel If you want your diskless workstation on the 192.168.0.0/24 network, you may change this here
- boot your client.
- if all went well you should be looking at the kdm login screen
- login and use your system
keep in mind your diskless workstations need to be added to your ldap netgroups, just like any other workstation. Otherways it wont be able to mount your HOME dir, and you won't be able to login.
example dhcpd.conf snippet
host static04 { hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00; fixed-address static04; filename "/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0"; option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386"; next-server ltspserver00; # next-server tjener; # for a combi server }
example /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
prompt 0 default ltsp label ltsp kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp nfsroot=/opt/ltsp/i386
(you can only add a boot option for booting a locally installed operating system)
Upgrade Kernel
(is that still needed in etch? h01ger, 2007-07-20)
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 aptitude update aptitude install linux-image-2.6.18-4-486 exit
Then you must prepare the system to use the new kernel

We all know and were a part of each other's history (from teen to adulthood) and I believe it really says something about who we are and what we mean to each other to still be there so many years later. I have so many great times from the past to recall, great times from the present that we've made together and great times from the future that I know will definitely occur.
One of the best relationships anyone will have in their life (in my opinion) is that of a true friend. Although unlike the quote below, my girls will make me walk with them, when they know I don't like walking but when we do, we have the best time. Clearly they are much more brilliant than I.
Friendship is a gift to be loved, to be nurtured and to be cherished. Honesty, Truth, Communication and Loyalty are the most important components of any relationship and without them, it will either crumble or you will feel unfulfilled.
I thoroughly enjoyed my teens and early twenties because of these fabulous women and I really could never thank them enough for the cherished memories I have of fun and crazy times. The only way to truly articulate who they are to me and who they always will be is to say that we are kindred spirits, our paths are forever intertwined for a reason.
So I looked it up and Friendship Day in Canada is the first Sunday in August but I'm having it early this year because I felt the need today to recognize the great friends I have in my life.

Lymphoedema is a swelling that occurs when lymph collects in a limb or other part of the body.
Lymph is a clear, colourless fluid that accumulates in the spaces between body cells and is collected by the vessels of the lymphatic system. It flows through the lymphatic vessels to the lymph nodes and is eventually absorbed into the bloodstream. The lymphatic system plays an important role in the immune system by filtering excess fluid, bacteria and byproducts of infections in the lymph nodes.
Normal lymph drainage is sometimes interrupted or hampered as a result of damage to the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes. This causes lymph to accumulate in the affected limb or park of the body.
Damage to the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes can be caused by the tumour or by infection, but in most cases it is caused by the treatment. Lymph nodes can be damaged or removed during breast surgery and radiotherapy in the armpit area may cause lesions.
Many surgeons help to reduce the risk of lymphoedema by avoiding the routine removal of lymph nodes during surgery and rather opting for sentinel node biopsy.
It can occur weeks, months or years after surgery.
Acute, moderate lymphoedema may occur immediately after surgery and is usually temporary. Acute and painful lymphoedema can present 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. The most common type of lymhoedema start gradually and is relatively painless. It usually occurs 18 to 24 months after surgery or radiotherapy.
There are no specific diagnostic tests for lymphoedema. The doctor will make a diagnois based on your medical history and by examining you.
Circulation in the lymphatic system is hampered – as a result infection is not combated effectively. That is why it is very important to promote circulation as much as possible and to prevent possible infection.
The onset of lymphoedema is usually caused by a specific trigger, such as injury to the arm or hand nearest the damaged lymph node, for example a bruise, cut or preassure (by a blood pressure cuff, bracelet or elastic cuff). After surgery to an area where lymph nodes may have been damaged, such as the breast or armpit area, it is of the utmost importance to avoid these triggers and to do post-surgery exercises to promote drainage.
Check any swelling, a feeling of heaviness or tightness or a constant pain or discomfort in or against the arm on the operated side. Your hand may swell – take not if your rings become too tight. The affected arm may also feel weak. You must inform your doctor of even the smallest sign of swelling.
Your doctor will assess the condition by comparing the swelling with the other arm and determining whether any tightness or heaviness is present. Any other possible causes, such as infection, a tumour or thrombosis will be ruled out. Treatment for lymphoedema usually includes wearing a compression bandage. Lymphatic manual draining (a medical massage technique) may also be prescribed. Exercise and certain preventative measures are also recommended.
It is an elastic bandage in the shape of a garment, such as a sleeve that fits tightly around the arm. A compression sleeve may cover the whole arm, as well as the writs and shoulder. It made by qualified staff according to the doctor's prescription and must be replaced every 4 to 6 months to ensure a tight fit. The compression bandage exerts pressure on the swollen arm and prevents lymph from accumulating in one area. It is worn according to the doctor's instructions, sometimes only during the day, sometimes 24 hours per day. By wearing the compression bandage regularly lymphoedema can be improved considerably.
Exercise improves the flexibility of your arm and promotes the drainage of lymph. Your doctor or physiotherapist can prescribe appropriate exercises. The Reach for Recovery exercise pamphlet is specially compiled to improve lymphoedema.
Lymph drainage by means of gentle manual massage is a medical message technique which can reduce swelling and pressure. It is particularly effective if lymphoedema is diagnosed early.

Cory Henry checks out Korg Kronos X
KORG has been busy during the knight here are some fresh stuff from their labs, enjoy
Solo artist and Snarky Puppy keyboardist, Cory Henry, joined us at Korg USA for a test drive of the Korg Kronos X, along with the optional EXs Expansion Sample Series libraries available at http://www.korg.com/kronossoundlibraries
As an established gospel and jazz fusion keyboardist, Cory knows the importance of having an inspiring instrument at your fingertips: "The Kronos does a great job of making you feel as if the instrument that you're playing is right in the same room as you. Every time I browse another sound, it kind of gets me into a different place that makes me just want to play, as if I am a violin player, or if I have an actual electric piano in my house. It does a great job of making you feel that you're playing the actual instrument."
Demo versions of the EXs libraries are included with the Kronos X, and original Kronos users can download the demo versions from http://www.korg.com/kronos
