Mon 1st June - Start of Summer
Well - might as well stay positive!
31 Jul Racing to Resume?
Races are expected to resume with all runners spacing themselves out by 2m at the start. This does mean that the London Marathon may take several days to get underway and block streets as far south as Brighton. Once a race is underway atheletes may not get within 2m of the runner ahead or overtake.
Somehow, I think not!
Your guess as to when things will be back to normal is at least as good as mine. Stay safe and keep running!

26th October
Hi folks. Just to let you know that after twelve and a half years I'm bowing out as webmaster at the end of the month. You'll be in great hands as Adam Richards is taking over. The website will also be getting a fresh new look.
18th October
Some very good running news in these strange times. Rob Weston lowered his own Club 10k record in the Cheshire 10k at Arley Hall today. Rob was home in 60th place in a very high quality field in a time of 33:14. Also in action with Rob were Richard Handley and Michael McKeown. Well done, Rob!

Hi all, if you are planning on running with us you will need to fill in this form before coming down - you only need to do it once, but if things change you need to let us know!
Please note that this MUST be done before you run with us.
Covid Collection Form
28th September
I've just checked the few races in the diary and have deleted the Aintrree Races, the Alcester 10k and the Donna Louise 10k as they have all been cancelled.
The Cheshire Arley hall 10k on the 18th October still appears to be on - but don't plan on going without checking nearer the date.
24th September
And backwrds we go again. The Farndon 10k this coming Sunday has now been cancelled.
16th September
Michael McKeown did do the Run through Tatton 10k at the weekend and writes:
"It was a really well organised event, with runners safety the main priority. Started in waves dependent on estimated time, slowly walking up to start in lines of 2 metres apart & plenty of room to overtake on course with safe distance. Sent number, chip before so arrived ready to go to designated starting wave.Would recommend any Whippets to enter any of the forthcoming events – also nice and flat ! (my estimated time based on training was 72mins) – the 10K on 7th November comes with free tech t-shirt.Hope to see you all soon"
14th September
It doesn't look like any Whippets did the Run Through Tatton 10k yesterday - but if you did, please let me know.
10th September
In light of the new restrictions announced yesterday by the government I have checked what they means for running. Run Britain and England Athletics have confirmed that the new measures will not impact club runs, organised races or the restart of Park Runs at the end of October.
If the situaton changes I will let you know.
Clearly, if you are planning to do a race it would still be best to check the race is still going ahead before travelling any distance.
29th August
Welcome back to racing. Racing kicked off again in the best possible way with a new 5k Club Record for Rob Weston in the Mid Cheshire 5k last night. Rob was accompanied by Saul Mellor who also set a new pb. Well done, both! We're geting there.
I've had a go at finding some races for you all. September looks very sparse but a number of races seem to be going ahead in October. If you are thinking of doing any of them please check when booking etc Some sites I've visited have been less than clear on the Covid situation.
5th August
Hi all, if you are planning on running with us again from next week you will need to fill in this form before coming down - you only need to do it once, but if things change you need to let us know!

Unfortunately we will have to postpone restarting Club runs for a further week. They will start again on Tuesday 11th August.Thanks.

Hi AllWe are planning on starting back with Club runs on Tuesday 4th August. This will be subject to certain criteria being met and is therefore not definite. As soon as we have confirmation I will let you know.ThanksJohn Dillon
26th May
Over the bank holiday members took part in a 67 hour long virtual relay to raise money for the Whitchurch Foodbank.
The food bank provides emergency food parcels to those most in need. Normally in a 6 month period they can help 1000 people in crisis. In these last two months they have already helped 450 individuals which is already a massive increase and puts added pressure on their supply chain. 1 in 5 families live below the poverty line and in the current global crisis its more important than ever to band together to help our local community.
The relay involved some 50 runners each running 45 or 90 minute laps. And running didn't stop when it got dark!
Starting at 5 am on Saturday the initial £500 target had been reached by Saturday evening. A final figure will be reported in due course.
The relay ended at Midnight on Monday the 25th May. Well done to everyone involved. It's also great to be able to report some running activity!Here's a collage of pictures from the early stages.
16th May
I'm messing around again today. Results, Rankings and Championship stats may show data for the wrong year for a while as I test some year end changes. Shouldn't take too long to restore normal functioning. At least it's not interfering with any current racing activity!
15th May
I don't know if anyone is reading this web site at the moment. But just to let you know that I'm performing some maintenance on it today so it may look a bit iffy in places for short periods of time.

As a result of England Athletics guidance Club Training sessions are suspended with immediate effect until further notice.
Sorry folks, but I guess it will come as no surprise.
16th March
While races still happen, yesterday saw the Shrewsbury 10k and Stafford Half Marathon take place. And a good job, too. There were pbs for David Bowie, Lisa Dale, Lee Dale, Libby Dudleston and Robin Price at Shrewsbury and Gary Gray, Saul Mellor and Suzy Wilkes at Stafford. Well done, all.
These were also Championship events and our early leaders are Dvaid Bowie and Libby Dudleston.

15th March
Eventually we managed to complete the Winter Handicap. And what a close competition it was. This year's winner was Duncan Meredith with a score of 18. In equal second were Dean Richards and Keith Cotton on 31. Congratulations, Duncan! All told, 25 members took part in at least one of the races. Thanks go to Dean Richards for his organisation of the series. At least it got finished before you-know-what.
Winter Handicap
In rather subdued parkruns we had winners at Crewe and Alderford in the form of Rob Weston and Paul Parkinson respectively. There were also pbs for James Marston and Amy Biggar at Alderford. Well done, all.

"Fiona Leatham, and Liz Featherstone signed up for another a year of completing the challenging Grizzly run only this time instead of being sensible and spectating again, I entered the Grizzly cub run along with Sarah Gill.Heading to the start we both thought what the hell were we thinking and before we knew it we were on the gruelling pebble beach, which also happened to be on quite a camber due to the rough sea and winds over the weekend.Back on the road after about half a mile and whilst we started with the back markers, we then started to make some ground leaving Seaton behind and heading towards Beer (The village not the drink at that point unfortunately).The road was a steep climb up in places (most places, in fact nearly every hill was steep) and soon we descended into Beer with good crowds of spectators, music, and noise we were then on another climb up to the heavens through the caravan park and across fields, where a mini storm found us but luckily soon passed. Our first 5 miles was completed in 1hr30, but then the next two miles took us nearly an hour to complete! A steep descent down a thick mud track, a surfboard would have been handy to help us down, before hitting the Beach, water and the aptly named "Stairway to Heaven" taking us from the beachside back up to the top of the cliffs. After recovering from the climb we ran across more fields taking in the views all round, before descending sharply into Beer again on the home stretch. Climbing back up through a narrow path we made it to the final descent as we could see the finish line over the buildings, putting a spurt on and seeing an opportunity to gain a few places we put our best foot forward and hot pressed it down the hill back to Seaton where we were greeted by some firemen ready to hose off the mud we'd collected on the way.A really enjoyable weekend and race, very well supported and I'm still surprised to say not once did I think how much more have I got left to do?Sarah and I finished 9.25miles in 2:57:36Liz and Fiona finished 20.5miles i

Spring racing has kicked off with a number of Whippets running in the Nick Beer 10k on saturday and the Chester 10k on Sunday. Lorrain Gillian went further, doing the Wrexham 20 miler. And, for good measure, James Rainbow did the Carding Mill Canter. There was a pb for James Marston at Chester. Well done, James.
I'm now going to have a small rant. The Chester results only gave Chip positions. This realiy is not the right way to show race results. Results should be shown in the order people crosssed the finishing line. You'd be well hacked off if you crosssed the line first only to be later shown in 3rd place because two other runners chose to start further back in the field! Just saying.
8th March
It was good to see so many of you out this morning for the Whitchurch 10k training.
Not much to report. Rob Weston and Paul Parkinson were the first two home at Alderford yesterday and there was a first pb with the club for Pauline Plant at Shrewsbury.
Hi Whippets, it's renewals time coming up. As in previous year's the club is going to do an early bird deal. If you pay by 31st March it will be £25. If you pay on the 1st April or after, it will be £26. Remember, if you entered the marathon ballot, you've already paid!
If you do want to pay now and don't have the club's bank details contact Jen Spencer or Dean Richards. You can also find the details in the club's Facebook group pages.
5th March
Just learned that a few Whippets ran at Oulton Park on Sunday. Julie Hunt and Alison Birch ran the 10k while Lynn Norton did the 5k. It was a pb with the club for Julie Hunt. And Alison was well happy with her performance.
4th March
A few bits of news. The final round of the Winter Handicap will now be on the 14th March as part of the Alderford Lake parkrun.
Ali Hunter, Sticks, Ed and Sue Vine and Karena Evans did the Shawbury 10k on Saturday just gone. There were pbs for Ali, Karena and Ed. Well done, all.
Finally, Fiona Leatham did the Seville Marathon on the 23rd Feb off little training. Still, it's a lovely city!
1st March
Conditions put paid to the Alderford Lake parkrun and our Winter handicap. I'll publish the rearranged Handicap date when I know what it is! Other parkruns did happen but nothing special to report.
It was good to see the Whitchurch 10k training groups out on the road this morning. Next run will be next Sunday from the SJT School at 10:00.
23rd February
With the Alderford Lake parkrun cancelled there were not a great many Whippets in action yesterday - those that did run were well spread around! Highlight was Rob Weston's first place at Crewe. No pbs to report.
20th February
Two small bits of news. Our annual Couch to 5k course starts on Thursday 9th April - 7pm at the Rugby Club. More details here: Couch to 5k
Just as we did last year, we are also holding Sunday morning training sessions throughout March for anyone doing the Whitchurch 10k. These sessions are open to non members - experienced club members will lead groups suitable for all abilities. Meet at SJT at 10:00 to register and to warm up. Groups will leave for their runs at 10:15. First session on Sunday 1st March.
16th February
I'm full of admiration for anyone who ran in yesterdays rain and wind - but it's no surprise there were no pbs from the small clutch of parkrun results.
So, I'll just remind you all that the final round of the Winter Handicap is on Saturday 29th Feb as part of the Alderford Lake parkrun. Your predictions to Dean Richards before the start.

Membership Sec Jenny Spencer writes:
Hi Whippets, it's renewals time coming up and two things to think about. Firstly, I think everyone has had an email saying that England Athletics is going digital, so your renewal registration pack will be via email. This only works if your email address is up to date with EA! If you haven't received the email I suggest you log on to the portal with your URN (everyone has had one when they registered and to enter races), and make sure all your details are up to date, including home addresses. Some of you have moved house I think, and not told me. If you have, could you let me know so that I can update the club records too. Thanks.
Secondly, EA have put their price up AGAIN this year, but the club is going to do an early bird deal. If you pay by 31st March it will be £25. If you pay on the 1st April or after, it will be £26. Remember, if you entered the marathon ballot, you've already paid! I'm not expecting payment yet, but reminders will be going out at regular intervals from now.
If you do want to pay now and don't have the club's bank details contact Jen Spencer or Dean Richards
9th February
Paul Parkinson was first home at Alderford Lake and Jon Bliss set a new pb at Bedfont Lakes, and that's the news from yesterdays parkruns. Well done, both.
3rd February
It was a great end to the Cross Country season at Oswestry on Saturday. Fielding teams of 5 runners, our men finished 4th on the day whilst our women were 7th. Our men ended in the season in 4th place - our best ever finish - just 2 points off 3rd and not that far off promotion. Our women finished in 7th place matching last year. As well as our team's doing well, Rob Weston ended the season in 3rd individula place. Well done, all and congratulations to team managers Simon Phllips and Rachael Foster.
Cross Country
Nothing special to report from Saturday's parkruns.
Just a reminder that the club championship season kicks off on the 16th February with the Village Bakery Half Marathon - now called the Wrexham Half Marathon.
27th January
For any Whippets running in the final North Wales XC fixture this Saturday (1st Feb) we'll be meeting up at the Rugby Club at 11:40am to share lifts. For those making their own way the venue is Marches School, Oswestry, SY11 2AP. It starts an hour earlier than normal, so the ladies start is 1pm and the men at 1:45pm.
26th January
Yesterdays parkruns saw pbs for Amy Biggar and James Marston at Alderford Lake and Gary Gray and Richard Handley at The Wammy. Well done, all!
23rd January
Some of you may be interested in this workshop that takes place in Shrewsbury on 16 February. It will cover planning, structuring and monitoring your training, followed by a practical session on conditioning and strengthening key muscle groups to aid running. The workshop is being run with Ruddy Farquharson, an expert in Strength and Conditioning who works with runners and British Gymnastics.
20th January
Just two Whippets contested yesterday's Essar For Villages Half - Richard Handley and Lorraine Gillan. Both setting pbs. Well done, both!
Frday night saw half a dozen Whippets run the 3rd Dash in the Dark Race of the season. You don't have to be mad to do this sport, but it does help. I hope the post race refreshments were good!
19th January
Some people will do anything to get out of the Winter Handicap - but going inside? A special parkrun at HMP Tern Hill saw 7 Whippets do time ranging from 17:25 (Rob Weston) to 39:35 (Nikki Shingler)! Well done, folks.
Dean still managed to keep an eye on the Handicap and writes:
Round 3 of the Winter Handicap this morning and 12 runners took part. 27 runners have taken part in at least 1 run and there are 8 runners who can still qualify for the overall win as it is 3 out of 4 runs to score. After 3 runs the best 2 scores count, current top 3 are;
8 - Duncan Meredith
21 Dean Richards
26 Sue Evans
13th January
The North Wales XC league shifted to a new venue in Shrewsbury on Saturday and it turned out to be a tougher course than imagined! Once again we finished full teams. The men did particularly well to finish 3rd team in their division on the day. Our men now sit 4th in their division with the Women eighth in theirs. Our teams were:
11 Rob Weston
65 Rob Sharam
72 Saul Mellor
74 Dean Richards
87 Ali Hunter
97 Simon Phillips
42 Libby Dudleston
79 Mimi Owen
98 Liz Featherstone

There are no pbs to report from Saturday's parkruns.
7th January

If you're making your own way the venue is Roman Road Sports Centre, Longden Road, Shrewsbury, SY3 9DW. This is a different venue from the original fixture list. The ladies start is 2pm and the men at 2:45pm.
5th January
Whippets were up and about in a variety of parkruns yesterday. Just two pbs to report for Jon Bliss and Gary Gray. Well done, both. Vicky Hopwood was first lady at Alderford Lake.
No sign of County Championship XC results yet - I'm hoping that some of you ran.
2nd January
Happy New Year.
The year got off to a great start with Rob Weston romping home in first place in the Wammy parkrun yesterday. Rob set a new club record of 16:16 for 5k slashing 22 seconds off his old record. Someone wasn't eating or drinking enough over the festive period! Well done, Rob.
No other pbs to report. And, yes, I did spot that some of you ran twice yesterday. Those with nothing better to do can scour the results to identify the guilty parties.

I've read a fair bit this morning about some form of resolution regarding bonuses to players having been sorted at NUFC.
The good thing to come from this is that it was apparently a cause of some unrest in the dressing room last season so now it's been resolved it will hopefully act as an incentive and not a bone of contention.
Quite what the bonus is will, quite obviously, remain confidential, but to me it's important that the players have some financial incentive to aim for as they try and push up the league. I'll have a stab at the bonus being paid for achieving a top ten finish although obviously I'm just speculating. Sounds about right though doesn't it?
Needless to say that Alan Pardew is delighted and feels that this agreement will help ensure that the club as a whole are pulling in the same direction:
"I made it a big priority of mine to make sure that go over the line," said Pardew in quotes attributed to The Journal "It is important the board and the players are going to go together. I think at any football club that is what you need. There has to be a respect between one to the other."
He continued: "Of course, as the manager it is difficult sometimes because you are in the middle. I am employed by Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias, but my loyalties are just as strong to the players, who I represent and care about and want to try and enhance their careers and make them better players and make the team better."
"It is sometimes a delicate position, but I am pleased it has got over the line. I think it is important – and I don't think it should be underestimated either."
"It seems to me this job comes with tough somewhere in the middle. Some of the problems I have inherited that I have gone on about before have not made things easy and I have picked up history that has gone on in contract negotiations."
"I think it is very, very important we try and build a new understanding of the club going forward together. The bonus sheet going over the line yesterday is quite significant because it did not go over the line last year."
"It might seem a small thing, but I think it is important the club and players agree there is something in place for a reward for what you do."
I think the last line just about sums up how I feel. Of course to real people such ourselves, the fact that footballers are paid tens of thousands of pounds a week would be reward enough for what you do, but footballers don't live in the real world so I guess it's all kind of relevant. Would you turn down a bonus in your job for achieving a pre-agreed goal? I wouldn't.
The evidence is there to suggest that the money is there to be paid, but the players must earn it through performances on the pitch. Performance related bonuses are a good incentive for players to get that bit of extra cash and will hopefully drive them on this season.
It won't be long before we see if it works or not.

Packaging: 1 oz jar (about 1/2 cup)
Epazote contains compounds which actually act as an anti-gas agent ( referred to as a carminative, which means it reduces gas) when cooked with beans. It's chief use was as an agent to expel intestinal hookworms (wormseed). According to Jessica Houdret (The Ultimate Book of Herbs and Herb Gardening) it has also been "recommended for nervous disorders, asthma, and problems with menstruation). CAUTION: This herb is poisonous in large does.

Difficult to use as the amount I got is mostly woody stems. I do like the taste though and don't find it all pungent.

JTextArea setting
Right now I have a JTextArea, I want to put a paragraph in it. At first it was just displaying the paragraph with one line in the JTextArea, and created scroll bars. I fixed that and got it to jump to the next line once a line in the JTextArea ran out of space.
However now it is cutting off words, say I have the world "black" at the end of the line where it runs out of space, it prints "bl" in the first line and then continues with "ack" at the beginning of the second line. How can I fix this?
Thanks for your time.

The Process
With no upfront cost or obligation, AmTelAudit will analyze a customer's current telecommunications (telecom) spending usage patterns and telecom infrastructure. We find overcharges on more than 50% of the bills we audit, and we average 15% to 40% savings on recurring telecom expenses for our customers.
We conduct an in-depth analysis of:
- vendor contracts
- current spending patterns
- historical billings
- usage
- future needs
We identify:
- savings opportunities
- billing errors
- refund amounts you are owed
- unused resources
- potential technology upgrades
- opportunities to renegotiate existing vendor contracts
When our no-cost preliminary analysis is complete, AmTelAudit presents an in-depth, written Findings & Recommendations report. This report includes detailed estimated savings opportunities for each recommended solution. Our customers maintain complete control by choosing all, some, or none of the suggested recommendations.
AmTelAudit implements customer-approved solutions at no cost to the customer including negotiation and provisioning with vendors. Our customers allocate zero staffing, cost, or responsibility towards implementation. AmTelAudit will:
- consolidate and streamline telecom operations for maximum savings
- negotiate lower costs with existing and/or new vendors
- coordinate upgrading of technologies
- disconnect circuits not in use
- increase security
AmTelAudit provides regular follow-up audits every 30 to 90 days to ensure solutions have been implemented correctly. Throughout the agreement, AmTelAudit acts as your telecom advocate, updating you on any new telecom industry developments that might affect your business. Clear reporting helps customers understand their savings.

Spirit of Place is the first full-length album by Australian folk-rock band Goanna. It was originally released in November 1982, it peaked at No. 2 on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart and appeared on the US Billboard 200.
Spirit of Place was the first charting rock record to feature the didgeridoo. The didgeridoo is particularly prominent on "Solid Rock", which was a No. 3 hit on the Kent Music Report Singles Chart in October. The album was also heavy on social protest themes. "Solid Rock" deals with issues of land rights for Indigenous Australians. "Razor's Edge" tackled rural despair and achieved a Top 40 spot in April 1983. "Let the Franklin Flow", was released under the pseudonym Gordon Franklin & the Wilderness Ensemble and peaked at No. 12 in May, was an anthem of protest over the proposed Franklin Dam. The album was re-released in a remastered and expanded form in 2003.

Families risk missing child benefit deadline
Hundreds of thousands of families losing child benefit this year need "to get off their backsides" by tonight to avoid big fines, tax chiefs said yesterday.
Lin Homer, chief executive of HM Revenue and Customs, said 200,000 families who will lose cash as part of the Government's plan to means test child benefit still needed to register for self-assessment tax forms.
People can register online till midnight tonight or phone the HMRC till 4pm this afternoon. Those failing to do so face fines which could amount to hundreds of pounds.
Under the plans, households in which one parent earns more than £50,000 will lose some or all of their child benefit — worth more than £1,700 a year for a family with two children.

Through the second half of the 2014-15 season, Prospect Impressions has brought you the top NHL prospect game highlights of the week. Now that the season in winding down, so too is this series. We've been counting down the top plays of the year, which finally culminates with the top five incredible plays made by some top-flight NHL prospects.
5. Jesper Fast – New York Rangers (NHL)
The New York Rangers didn't see enough out of Jesper Fast to give him a full time roster spot straight out of training camp. That lasted all of one month, as Fast was recalled and became an integral part of the Rangers attack. Known as a tenacious and gritty forechecker, Fast introduced himself to the Ranger faithful by becoming a trustworthy bottom-six option. He's not devoid of offensive talent, however, as he produced this incredible individual effort during a regular season game in March.
ICYMI: #NYR Jesper Fast scored this spin-o-rama goal last night! https://t.co/irxq767lXi Full replay here: http://t.co/IZTZ2lPENi

Jesper Fast: "It's the best time of my career so far. I'm really enjoying it and making the most of it."

4. Steve Racine – University of Michigan (Big Ten)
It's okay if you don't immediately recognize Steve Racine, who has been a pedestrian performer for the University of Michigan through his junior season. This year, he split duties alongside of Edmonton Oilers draft pick Zach Nagelvoort, but still put together a respectable season. Racine was chosen as Michigan's starter through the Big Ten tournament, to which the team eventually fell short against Minnesota. In that game, however, Racine did everything he could to keep his team in it, including what many are calling the NCAA Save of the Year.

3. Jake Virtanen – Calgary Hitmen (WHL)
It's hard to look at this upcoming highlight and figure that Jake Virtanen had a down year. As the first overall selection in the WHL Bantam Draft in 2011, Virtanen knows all about living up to expectations. Virtanen finished with 21 goals and 31 assists in 50 WHL games this season, and one of those 21 goals was an absolute gem to be remembered.
This goal by #Canucks prospect Jake Virtanen was chosen as the # 2 play in the WHL this season: http://t.co/DlGa9VBwt8
— Ryan Biech (@ryanbiech) April 13, 2015
Benning on Virtanen: "Jake Virtanen could earn a spot with a good camp."
— Canucks Central (@CanucksNow) June 12, 2015
2. Connor McDavid – Erie Otters (OHL)
Certainly deserving of his own highlight reel, Connor McDavid has been an absolute treat to watch thoughout his young career. Despite losing a significant portion of their offensive attack last year, McDavid guided the Erie Otters to the OHL Championship series. The team fell short, but McDavid has a bright career ahead of him. Before he goes off to the NHL, take a look at one play that encompasses what the future superstar is all about.

1. Max Domi – London Knights (OHL)
No one can argue the fact that Max Domi is a special player, one who can impact the game in the blink of an eye all by himself. Those skills have gotten him in trouble at times, but its his individual ability that makes him a talent that the Arizona Coyotes are eager to tap into. Domi was the recipient of the Mickey Renaud Captain's Trophy, awarded to the player that best exemplifies leadership on and off the ice. If leadership is taking the puck coast-to-coast, chipping it over the goalie, then guiding an airborne puck into the net, then Domi is also deserving of the Prospect Impressions' NHL Prospect Play of the Year.
What the what? Max Domi flip goal! #hockey #hockeyvines #maxdomi https://t.co/BEsC01ZNYh

The London Knights named both Mitch Marner and Max Domi team MVP, but only Domi was the team's nominee for the Red Tilson ballot.

Following the recent release of National Grid's 'System Needs and Product Strategy' consultation, Head of Markets Bozhidar Bozhkov, explains why this is good news for the future energy system.
The UK is currently experiencing a transition period as our fossil fuel dependence shifts increasingly towards renewable energy.
While this is great news for decarbonisation, it has created unprecedented challenges for National Grid to balance the system and fully utilise all the renewable generation available.
The solution, which SmartestEnergy and other aggregators have long been calling for, is to better integrate demand response and storage into the system.
To address these issues, National Grid has recently released their 'System Needs and Product Strategy' consultation.
The document outlines plans to remove any outdated services, reduce the number, simplify the remaining balancing products and improve the transparency of the market.
These improvements of the balancing services would allow for more renewable to join the Grid supply.
In addition, National Grid is exploring how they may be able to procure additional residual capacity closer to real time, to balance the system when the previously tendered and accepted capacity is not enough to meet the current need.
However, we believe there are still some issues that the National Grid have not addressed which need to be resolved if we are to maximise this new approach:
• Battery storage needs to be defined separately so it is not treated as both generation and demand
• Transparency of the changes that are being made will need to be guaranteed to avoid any confusion and ensure a smooth transition to the new system
• Flexibility in the duration of supply and response time should be considered as renewable energy technologies are all very different and often cannot simply switch off and on
A simplified, more transparent and more in-tune system will allow the National Grid to take advantage of the plentiful renewable energy that is currently available, as well as tapping into the appetite from businesses and investors to embrace demand response and storage.
We will be taking part in the consultation process which ends on the 18th of July.

Comcast: I Want My Universal HD
Customers like to knock Comcast. As the largest cable provider, they're an easy target. The installer caught on camera after falling asleep on a customer's couch became an instant YouTube classic.
Apparently, the video resonated with a lot of subscribers.
I'm a Comcast customer, too. But my experience with Comcast, bar some exceptions, has been fairly positive. For one thing, the system is incredibly reliable. Outages just don't happen, at least in my area. Internet and cable television are vital, 24/7 utilities in our household, and when services go down, it's like being Time Tunneledback to the early '80s.
So, I try to keep the big picture in mind when faced with the occasional Comcast annoyance.
However, it seems that Comcast is always looking for ways to weasel out of the promised channel lineup. We've been told that our package is grandfathered in from the old days of the AT&T acquisition and that our channel lineup isn't offered any longer. But we like it. We get Starz, HBO and Showtime and lots of other channels we enjoy — IFC and Sundance, too.
The trouble started about a year ago when we upgraded to HD and the Comcast-provided (Motorola) DVR. The install itself went smoothly and the Comcast tech crawled around our house, replacing cables inside and out — all the way to the street pole. He even strung the cables under the eaves, per my request. We were very happy and felt that Comcast had gone above and beyond.
But within a few hours we realized, to our dismay, that our channel lineup had vanished. Starz disappeared and was replaced with — gasp! — Fox Movie Channel. To the best of my recollection, IFC had disappeared, too.
I called. The new DVR couldn't "read" our old lineup, I was told. We would have to shell out additional money every month to restore all the channels now scattered across other packages — unwelcome news after we upgraded to HD, etc., and were now paying Comcast close to $2,000 per year for both cable and Internet.
This little factoid was never disclosed to us, I said, and I insisted that the old lineup be reinstated. "I'll have to run that past upper management," said the customer-service agent.
A trouble ticket was written.
Rule No. 1: A "trouble ticket" is a euphemism in Comcast culture for: "We have no intention of dealing with your problem. And since most customers probably don't have time to call back and wait on hold for another 10 minutes, this is our way of making the problem go away."
But I concluded the conversation by saying, "I'm leaving town. The lineup had better be restored when I get back."
It wasn't. I got into a heated conversation with customer service at 2 a.m. "Restore the lineup," I said, "or else I'm contacting every San Francisco Bay-area consumer reporter — and my Marin County supervisor." In rapid-fire succession, I clicked off the names.
"OK, OK lady!" said the rep, "I'm sending a signal to your box now!"
Rule No. 2: Comcast is afraid of bad press.
Then the DVR never worked right. The system would often "stick" or slow to a crawl when we tried to change channels. And we would have to wait two to three minutes for the system to unlock itself. Comcast insisted that our hard drive was full, that we had recorded too many hours of programming. I kept telling them the drive was empty.
Finally, a nice technician guy (NTG) was sent to the house. NTG called tech central and put them on speaker. "Their hard drive is empty," said NTG to tech central. "No," replied tech central, "the hard drive is full. That's the problem." Tech central continued to insist on their more convenient version of reality. NTG and I rolled our eyes at each other. "They have a hearing problem," I said.
NTG cut the connection. "This is ridiculous," he groused. He swapped out the DVR. Problem solved.
Lately I've noticed that Universal HD disappeared from our HD lineup. I really like Universal HD because the channel broadcasts some of my favorite shows, including Monk and Battlestar Galactica.
So, I called Comcast. Very sweet customer-service rep (VSCSR) confirmed that we should be receiving Universal HD. She believes something could be wrong with our wiring. VSCSR stated she'd have someone call to set up a time to check the cables. She wrote up a trouble ticket.
Uh oh!
That was two weeks ago. I'm still waiting for that phone call.

Duong Thu Huong's The Zenith (Viking, 528 pp., $32.95) is a complex doorstop of a novel that examines the lives and thoughts of a group of top Vietnamese leaders of the 1950s and 1960s. The cliché "It's lonely at the top" sums up one of the main points of the book, but also gives little of the sense of this enormous novel.
I found the English translation (by Stephen B. Young and Hoa Pham Young) strange. Often it seems as though the finished product was translated from a couple of other languages, not just one. I checked in the front of the book, though, and the only other language acknowledged is Vietnamese.
Perhaps the translation is brilliantly loyal to the original Vietnamese, but I have no way of knowing. All I know is that I found this novel very hard to read and much of it hard to follow—very much as I have found some giant Russian novels a challenge, especially the ones with casts of hundreds and with characters with similar-looking names.
A section at the front of the novel listing the characters and their names, alternate names, pet names, and nicknames would have been a welcome courtesy to this reader. It also would have been helpful to have had a brief paragraph about all the main characters, explaining who they are, who they fictionally represent, and how they figure in this story.
The sort of guide produced for James Joyce's Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake could be models. To be fair to Joyce, I found his novels more of a pleasure to read and ultimately more rewarding. But to be fair to Duong Thu Huong, James Joyce's novels were written in my native language. Novels in translation are always potentially problematic.
The Vietnamese culture is also more alien to this American reader than the Russian and Irish cultures, both of which are essentially Western. There are many culture-shock moments in The Zenith related to food, sex, and death. The novel itself acknowledges this difference between their culture and that of the "American bandits."
The dust jacket has laudatory quotes from Le Monde , L'Express , Le Figaro , Elle , and Telerama . All of them are French magazines, so I suspect there is a French translation of this novel, too. A further clue is that the author lives Paris. I wouldn't be surprised if her French is as good or better than her Vietnamese. That is pure conjecture and could be dead wrong, of course. Most of the dust-jacket praise gives no real sense of this huge novel, or convinces me that the reviewers have read it all the way through.
I'll quote from a typical sentence to give a sense of the awkward English in the book. "In this line of work, if you are not the chief honcho of a pit, having bags filled with cash and a brain filled with devilish schemes, then most likely you take up working in the pit as an ordinary ruffian or rascal, unafraid of quarrels with guns and knives, or you might be at a dead end, without another livelihood, ready to throw your life away as so much straw or grass…. In actuality both 'old men' were born gamblers." Yikes.
"Chief honcho?" Isn't the expression, "head honcho?" I guess I am nitpicking here, but many sentences have to be read two or three times to make sense of them.
One of the delights of the book is the frequent food references, often in list form. There are hundreds of them. Here's one: "She made snail stew with banana stems, frog stir-fried with pepper and bamboo shoots, catfish soup with vegetables, shrimp braised in rice wine, or eel in turmeric." That sounds good. On the other hand, I've eaten in many Vietnamese restaurants and don't remember ever encountering one of these dishes.
More than anything else—more than a book about Ho Chi Minh being marooned on a mountain top during the American war, surrounded by guards, forbidden to have a private life, his wife murdered and his kids hidden—this is a book about the importance of food in Vietnamese culture. On page 361 there is a detailed recipe for deep-fried mung bean paste. It is so detailed it even debates the difference between frying the paste in peanut or sunflower oil.
I read so many references to roast pork that I had my wife buy me a pork roast to cook. I was also tempted by the references to shrimp soup with fish bladder and steamed rooster and pork pie with fungus, but I wasn't sure where to send my wife for fish bladder or what sort of fungus to direct her to buy for me. As for steamed rooster, I wasn't sure if I steamed it with the feathers on or off.
So those dishes remain in the book. As for duck's blood with pig's intestines, that one did not even tempt me. I'm too Western, I guess.
Awkward idiomatic expressions figure in this book as often as food imagery. "He suddenly remembered that his wife was in bed and for sure was still awake."
"For sure?" Was the translator a Valley Girl? That expression occurs often. I started circling it every time I saw it, but soon my arm got tired.
Also, one of the female characters is said to have fig innards on her teeth. "Innards?" Maybe fig seeds. Figs don't have innards. Also, don't scorpions sting? This author has them biting. Seems wrong to me.
All the above being said, I do recommend this book to any reader with energy. You must be willing to put in a lot of time and to keep detailed lists of characters and names, which I had to do to make sense of the book.
I can't say it better than L'Express: "The Zenith is a stunning reflection on the tragedy of power when it is taken hostage by totalitarian ideologies."
I'd like to see a cookbook from Duong Thu Huong. She could produce a stunner.

Good afternoon all,
hopefully someone can help me, we have a Panasonic DBS576HD system its a really old digital system. What I would like to do is take one of the extensions from the Panasonic, lets say extension 161 and connect that to the SPA3102 FXS port. Is this possible? if I had extensions 200 - 270 on the asterisk side and 100 -170 on the Panasonic side would it be possible to create a dialplan that would open that 161 line and dial the 100-170 extensions?
I have never done this hence the questions.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hanini! What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
It's been a decade since the last episode of Will & Grace last aired, until a few days ago, when a 10 minute spin-off on the upcoming US election shook the internet and made us all do the Jack hands.
The chemistry's still there. The actors haven't aged a day. The hard-hitting puns are still on point. But what if that special episode had been based on Maltese politics? Some things would've been totally different, while others would've stayed exactly the same.
Will and Grace would've been the two most confused people in the room because no politician in Malta makes much sense, or rather, you often can't tell the difference between one or the other.
Karen would be voting for Għaqda Patrijotti Maltin and she'd have marched in carrying bacon sandwiches.
Jack would be voting for PN because not all gay people should be "pigeonholed".
Instead of mentioning the Ryan Lochte Dancing with the Stars incident and Brangelina's divorce, the gang would've discussed 'the right to build' (what does that even mean?!) and the Konkors Kanzunetta Indipendenza.
The official hashtag would have been #ivvotagaħan.
Grace would've still been totally scandalised that James Foley had an ass-double in Fifty Shades of Grey.
Karen wouldn't have been able to say "the mohogany brown of the staff", because apparently, people of African descent are now not allowed to even apply for jobs in public toilets anymore…
Karen would've sent Rosario to the American University of Malta, but she still would've read for a BA in Dusting.
Ultimately, the big question would've been left unanswered: Who would Katy Perry vote for: Simon or Joseph?
What else would've been different?

Therapeutic Breast Massage in Lactation for the Management of Engorgement, Plugged Ducts, and Mastitis

- Ann M. Witt, MD, IBCLC, Breastfeeding Medicine of Northeast Ohio, 2054 South Green Road, South Euclid, OH 44121, USA. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Background: Many women in developed countries do not meet their breastfeeding goals and wean early because of breast pain.
Objective: This study aimed to describe clinical response to therapeutic breast massage in lactation (TBML) in the management of engorgement, plugged ducts, and mastitis.
Methods: Breastfeeding women presenting with engorgement, plugged ducts, or mastitis who received TBML as part of their treatment were enrolled (n = 42). Data collected at the initial visit included demographic, history, and exam data pre-TBML and post-TBML. Email surveys sent 2 days, 2 weeks, and 12 weeks following the initial visit assessed pain and breastfeeding complications. A nested case control of engorged mothers (n = 73) was separately enrolled to compare engorgement severity.
Results: Reasons for the visit included engorgement (36%), plugged ducts (67%), and mastitis (29%). Cases, compared to controls, were significantly more likely to have severe engorgement (47% vs 7%, P < .001). Initial mean breast pain level among those receiving TBML was 6.4 out of 10. Following TBML, there was significant improvement in both breast (6.4 vs 2.8, P < .001) and nipple pain (4.6 vs 2.8, P = .013). All women reported immediate improvement in their pain level. At the 12-week survey, 65% found the massage treatment very helpful. The majority of the women with a new episode of mastitis or plugged duct during the study follow-up found the techniques learned during the office visit very helpful for home management of these episodes.
Conclusion: In office, TBML is helpful for the reduction of acute breast pain associated with milk stasis. Mothers find TBML helpful both immediately in-office and for home management of future episodes.

Here we go, the last chapter of 'Penny dreadful' ... I hope you will like the ending, though ... but I don't want to tell too much ;) Make sure, that you haven't missed a chapter and enjoy this one.
Title: Penny Dreadful ( 8 / 8 )
Fandom: The Faculty = Zeke / Casey and a touch of Penny Dreadful (though I don't know much about this series)
Rating: R
Summery: Some time after graduation the boys meet again
Disclaimer: It's all Fan-Fiction - of course I don't own The Faculty nor Penny Dreadful - just playing around a bit with the characters and Josh Hartnett (I hope he will forgive me)
You can find all the chapters of the story here: Penny Dreadful
Zeke followed him into the kitchen where Casey was busy with making coffee. He needed a moment just for himself or he would freak out, the last he wanted. When Zeke touched his shoulder he almost jumped back.
"It's okay," Casey said with a slightly shaking voice.
"No drama. I get it. It's just like you are, you need your freedom, I know that. How many hearts did you break at Highschool?"
And he pushed a coffee over to him.
"Want one?"
Zeke stared at the mug, finally shook his head and smirked.
"Stupid," he sighed.
"That's not what I've tried to tell you. I would never able to let you go again."
Casey frowned.
"So, why do you say it?"
"Maybe because I'm still a maroon who's not used to it to talk about his feelings?
Back at Highschool I was so busy to proof my coolness to just everyone. I did a lot of stupid things and I didn't care if I did hurt others with my behavior.
I don't want to hurt you, Casey. And I don't want some stolen days now and then together with you. My life feels empty when you are not around."
For a moment Casey had the feeling that the world stopped turning around. He had been prepared for the goodbye, that Zeke had decided not to see him again. And now this. Zeke wanted … what, actually?
"You mean, living together?"
He hesitated.
"How should this work? Do you want me… to move to New York?"
Zeke looked at him thoughtfully.
"Would you do that," he asked, his voice gentle.
Casey clasped his mug, it was hard to keep a level head. No question: he wanted to be together with Zeke. Since he had noticed that he felt more for him than just friendship he had wondered how it would be. And the reality was so much better. But … He looked around in the apartment, his apartment. His parents nearby, not a week where he didn't go to visit them. The Herrington Post, more then just a job. Only some time ago he had refused to give up this job for the guy he was living together with. Was he willing to give up his life … for a future together with Zeke?
A hand touched his arm softly and tore him out of his thoughts.
"New York is a thrilling place," Zeke said.
"I know, you would love it. For a while, a long weekend, vacation maybe. Living there would make you unhappy, though. You're are so not a big city kid.
So, no, I would never ask you to give up your life and follow to me to New York."
Casey smiled. Zeke had always known to read his mind.
"And what then," he asked.
"Me in Herrington, you in New York? I guess I could ..."
"I'm thinking about it to come back to Herrington."
Zeke noticed Casey's eyes flaring wide.
"If you don't want me to move in here I could look for an own apartment."
"What? You can't be serious."
"I know, it's stupid, but sometimes I miss this town. Last year, the shooting for Penny Dreadful was almost over and you could feel the tension rising. We had a lot fun during the weeks in Ireland but for most of the team it was time to go home to their families, friends. And what was I'm looking for?"
"Ähm … New York?"
"Yeah, sure, I like the surrounding near Central Park, there are a some nice clubs and I've made really good friends there. But it feels more and more like a distraction from real life. When I got into the plane in San Diego and I knew it would last months until I will see you again, I realized that it's time for some changes."
"Like coming back to Ohio?"
Casey heart was up to his mouth but he still looked suspicious
"And what do you wanna do here? Looking for a job as a mechanic? You would hate that, Zeke, working your ass off for a boss who doesn't even know to appreciate it."
Zeke smiled.
"Maybe I will be my own boss one day, it was always my dream to own a garage. But for now I'm happy with what I'm doing. As long as John doesn't write me out of the story I won't quit acting."
He pulled Casey into his arms and kissed him gently.
"That means shootings in Ireland, conventions, promotion tours. But we will figure it out how to make this work. I guess you could come with me now and then. And I will always come back here. Herrington isn't that bad. The mall-madness on a Saturday morning. Annie's ice cream. Annie is still here, isn't she?"
Casey chuckled when the memories hit him. Their last summer together. The Mall. He had loved to go there, watching the crowd going mad, taking pics, exploring the comic- and the record-shop. Zeke had always teased him because of that but never complained. Annie's ice cream. How many stops they had made at her little parlor. Annie was a middle aged woman with red dyed hair, a bit chatty but with a big heart. More then one of the students who used to hang around at her place disburdened the heart to her and she was always willing to help.
"Yeah, Annie is still here. She will be happy to see you again."
Casey smiled.
"You know, she did hang up all your pics from the Armani Campaign and tells everyone about it that you were the bad boy of town and she had to safe your ass more than once because you always got into some stupid trouble."
"Oh shit!"
Zeke rolled his eyes but laughed anyway.
"We should go later and have one of her famous Strawberry Sundaes."
He still hold him in his arms and slowly Casey started to believe that all this was real, that Zeke was thinking about it to come back to Herrington, that he wanted a life together with him.
"But you know what's the best of coming home after some long weeks of shooting," Zeke asked.
"You will wake up next morning and beside you lies the guy you love."

Vincenzo Nibali thrives in Italy's Tirreno-Adriatico stage race because of what he called its unpredictable nature. On Wednesday, along the Tuscan coast in Lido di Camaiore, he will begin his quest for a third title.
In 2013, to win his second title, team Astana's Nibali overhauled Sky's Chris Froome on the penultimate day to Porto Sant'Elpidio. The relentless rain and steep climbs, sometimes up to 27 per cent, in Marche's countryside worked in Nibali's favour. Froome, who said he did not have the legs, lost control.

Just 48 hours earlier, Froome had destroyed the field on the Prati di Tivo climb to take the leader's blue jersey. That kind of drastic change in fortunes, Nibali warned today, is what makes Tirreno-Adriatico special.
"My experience is that there's not a single stage that makes the difference, but day after day, any stage can be important," Nibali said in a press conference. "It's a very nervous and difficult race. The times that I won, it's just been in the last days."
Froome, who has been in South Africa training at altitude, will miss Tirreno-Adriatico and race next in Spain's Volta a Catulunya.
Learn how to train like the pros
Tirreno-Adriatico opens with a 22.7-kilometre team time trial in Lido di Camaiore on Wednesday. Already on Thursday, Nibali and rivals like Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) and Sky's Wout Poels, face an 18 per cent climb three kilometres from the finish line in Pomarance. The 'queen stage' this year climbs 10 kilometres to reach Monte San Vicino at 1,208 metres. Unlike in 2013, the penultimate day through Abruzzo should be calm, before the race ends with a 10.05-kilometre time trial in San Benedetto del Tronto.
Nibali has the ability to climb, but also to descend like a missile and manage his bike with grace. In May 2013 at the Giro d'Italia, when Bradley Wiggins crashed on wet roads further south down Italy's east coast from Porto Sant'Elpidio, Nibali took control and positioned himself for his first overall title. Those same skills will come in handy this week as bad weather is predicted once again.
He already proved his fitness with an overall win in the Tour of Oman last month ahead of Frenchman Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale). That form and local knowledge led Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing) to label Nibali as Tirreno-Adriatico's race favourite.
"Tirreno-Adriatico is hard for its weather, and last year we had a day through the snow [when Nairo Quintana (Movistar) won]. The time trials are very important, especially the first one tomorrow. I feel good. I'll see day after day how my legs respond," added Nibali.
"This won't be easy. The race is nervous as always and the level is high. Valverde rode well in Strade Bianche, he has good form. Other riders have also had good races recently. Tirreno, though, is an uncertainty until the very end."

Three children and at least two other civilians were killed on Sunday as security forces pressed on with an almost nine-month clampdown on dissent, rights activists said.
In the flashpoint city of Homs, "a man and three children aged 11, 14 and 16 were killed at dawn in the Al-Waer district when the Shabiha (pro-regime militia) opened fire on their cars," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The rights watchdog, in statements received in Nicosia, said "a chauffeur was killed when his mini-bus came under gunfire from a checkpoint north of Maarat Numan" in the northwestern province of Idlib.
Twenty-three people were killed in Syria on Saturday, including 11 civilians, the Observatory said, a day after the UN Human Rights Council condemned the Damascus regime's "gross violations" of human rights.
Seven pro-regime soldiers and security service agents were among those killed, as well as five rebel troops.
The Arab League, which has slapped unprecedented sanctions on member state Syria, was on Sunday awaiting its response to a deadline to allow in observers to monitor the country's unrest.
According to the United Nations, more than 4,000 people have been killed since anti-regime protests broke out in mid-March and tens of thousands arrested. At least 12,400 people are also reported to have fled abroad.

Client of the Month – Angie Albertson
1) How long have you been at Force Fitness? A little over a year and a half.
2) What have you accomplished since starting? Not only have I dropped body fat and inches and gotten into the best shape of my life, I have more importantly learned how strong I really can be, both mentally and physically. I have so much more self confidence now than I had in my 20s or 30s.
3) What are your future goals? To maintain and build on what I have accomplished so far…and to do at least ONE real chin up unassisted!
4) What do you like best about Force Fitness? I could go on forever about this. I like the variety of the workouts and how things are always changing and never boring. I love the support and camaraderie you get both from the trainers and fellow Force members. I like being nudged (okay, pushed) to always do a little more than I think I can do (and I always can). The trainers at Force are so great about working around pain and injuries and tweaking workouts for you so you can still get great results. And finally, I really like the fact that I can incorporate cardio into my strength training without spending ANY time on a treadmill and still get the results I want.
5) Why did you start coming to Force Fitness? My husband brought home a brochure, thinking he might join, but I was the one to sign up. I just knew I needed a good swift kick in the butt to get going and I wasn't going to do that on my own.
6) Were you nervous when you started? How do you feel now? Heck yeah I was nervous! The gym looks intimidating when you first walk in (this ain't no YMCA!) and the term "boot camp" sounds scary, but now I truly feel at home at Force and always look forward to going to the gym. It's a great addiction to have!
7) What did you do to accomplish your goal? How days per week? Nutrition? Supplements? I do the personal training two days a week and boot camp twice a week. I worked as hard as I could in the gym, tried to do at-home workouts on some of my off days and while on vacation. I try to follow Ryan's 90/10 rule: being very careful about nutrition 90% of the time and relaxing a bit on the remaining 10%. I also use nearly all of the Prograde supplements: protein powder, Lean meal replacement, VGF, EFA, Metabolism, and Workout (my favorite!).
8) How do your friends and family react to your changes? I often get compliments from people I haven't seen in a while. I even inspired my aunt to consider buying her own TRX.

Details on Nokia Camera Extension App (video)May 21, 2012 1 Comment
Over in Hong Kong, Nokia has announced an app called "Camera Extension". It is an app that while you have to download, it merges itself into the actual camera app and adds new features.
Quick burst: Supports the taking of 8 shots simultaneously
self-timer: Ability to set the camera to take a picture with a timer set.
Panorama : Just like in Nokia's Creative studio, you get the ability to stitch 5 images to create a panoramic photo.
Smart group: like quick burst, this mode will take 5 shots simultaneously but then you have the ability to pick and choose which faces on the image you keep. This is perfect since you can pick out the best faces off a group picture elimating blinking eyes, etc.
No word yet on when this app will become available.

I feel like every month these boxes are just getting better and better, and even though I'm almost at the end of my subscription, there's no sadness at all I'm just filled with delight every time one of them comes to my door. In the spirit of Autumn/Winter beauty transitioning, this months box has definitely provided me with products that are ideal for taking care of the hair and skin when the weather gets colder and the skin needs a little more love. What did you receive in your subscription box this month?
Davines | Nourishing Hair Building Pak | Original Price: £20.40 | It's a rare but wonderful surprise to actually receive a full size product from Birchbox at the bargain price each box costs. This month it was from a brand I've never heard of, but Davines have definitely intrigued me with this nourishing hair building pak. The purpose of this product is to nourish the hair shaft and transform the hair; I am certainly can't wait to see the results!
You may notice the small sachet to the left of the other products, and this is another generous addition to the box from Davines. We've received a small sample of their Nourishing Shampoo (original price: £15.20) from the same Natural Tech collection. Made from all natural ingredients, it's rich in antioxidants, and is probably going to be my new haircare best friend, even though we've got so little. Keep an eye out for more Davines haircare on the blog!
Thermaltiv | Night Cream | Original Price: £25 | I was very happy to see another Thermaltiv product again, since receiving their Micellar water which was awesome, their Night Cream will hopefully be just as impressive. Apparently, this cream can help the skin's regeneration process overnight and contains one of my favourite ingredients; camomile.
Whish | Almond Body Butter | Original Price: £15 | Whish is yet another brand I've seen many times from Birchbox, and their body care products never fail to impress. This time around it's a body butter with a gorgeous Almond flavour; it contains Aloe, Shea Butter, and Raspberry Butter for a special skin treat after bathing or showering. My skin absorbs these body butter so well and the smell isn't too strong but just strong enough to linger so beautifully.
DHC | Deep Cleansing Oil | Original Price: £21.50 | This cleanser has got to my one of my most lusted after cult classic that I've heard so much about. The DHC Cleansing Oil is always recommended to me and I was so shocked to find it in Octobers Box. Even though I usually remove my makeup with a micellar water, I find the best, most nourishing method is a cleansing oil like this; I can't wait to try it. It is said to even be able to remove waterproof makeup and any traces that micellar waters/makeup wipes can't. With its nourishing, enriching ingredients it's perfect for the coming months.
IBY Beauty | Foundation Brush | Original Price: £15 | What a delight it was to find a makeup brush in a Birchbox; since subscribing to this service I've never received one and what a lovely surprise it was indeed. IBY Beauty are a relatively small makeup brand but I'm sure they'll be getting a lot more love over the next few months. The brush is beautifully formed, soft and perfect for concealer and foundation application. I'm very excited to start using it!
What do you think of this months products? What did you get this month?

There is so much to see and hear. There is so much to touch.
There are so many books with words and pictures.
There's music, videos, paintings, drawings, real and virtual.
We have plasma screens, tv screens computer screens, and of course bulletin boards with fliers stacked one on top of the other.
Then there are blogs like this one, and wikis, and all of those social networking sites.
We have so much, too much information.
So what do I do? I add more.
I can't seem to stop producing artifacts. But why do I feel the need to do so? Perhaps I crave attention. Maybe I'm just trying to prove that I'm here and that my existence means something.
Life is all about doing stuff isn't it? At the very least you have to eat, breathe, and go to the bathroom. And then if you want to continue to live, you have to work, or find some other way to obtain money so you can have food and shelter, so that you can continue to breathe.
So I don't know exactly why I'm here, and I can't even be certain that any of this even exists.
I think I am doomed to keep doing and creating, because it's in my nature. If the rest of the world ignores me, that's okay.

The students at Oak Park High in Winnipeg turned their high school into ground zero for the apocalypse in this short zombie romantic comedy. What this film lacks in budget, it more than makes up for in a sense of wild fun.
Zombie High was produced by Oak Park High's Independent Film company, and for all their youth, there's a lot of promise in these young filmmakers. Zombies are a great subject for a no-budget film, but sometimes the results can by dreary and dull. This team clearly put a lot of thought into their characters and gags, and it results in a satisfying—and often funny—zombie bloodbath.

Nifty Futures on 30th Apr 2018 ended with a strong closing at the day high. Current swing rallied from 9960 – 10788 i.e almost 818 points in the favor of bulls without any major price retracement. Current trading sentiment is positive across all the timeframe. However the current swing momentum is slow and steady sort of a rolling momentum which pulls lots of inventory pile up from short term trading community and the inventory is dangerously long.

I hate to admit it, but I frequently ditch the fuel belt because I look like a combat soldier. Bad Susan.

We can't win them all, but perhaps we can win halfway.

- Angled, insulated holster for quick access
- 22 oz. Hydration Bottle
- Zippered mesh pocket for small essentials or mandatory lip gloss
- Airmesh moisture-wicking lumbar backing

I have this pack and I love it! It's great for shorter runs were I don't need to carry much and don't want to hold my bottle in my hand. The pouch also fits my Casio Exilm camera which is always a plus to be able to carry that!

I don't have this particular pack, but I do have one similar from Ultimate Direction – the Access. My only beef is that the zip pocket is a bit too small. I also have a Camelbak Flashflo, but I haven't tried it out yet. Thanks for the info on the Nathan though – I may have to check it out!

Hi Susan — I've been working on designing a comfortable water bottle that straps to your arm – just like an iPod. The Body Bottle (http://www.bodybottle.com) attaches to the arm strap with Velcro so it is easy to rip of and put on so you don't break concentration or your stride. Check it out – I've been designing it to be more comfortable than any water belt or camel pack out there.

I like this pack but the bladder is really hard to keep clean and fill on the fly!
Although for now I am back on hand bottles!

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Game Boy) review
"Everybody loves Zelda. I'm fairly sure that it's a scientific fact or something. From the very first time young Link set out across Hyrule to rescue the titular princess back in the early days of the NES (has it really been that long??) gamers have marvelled over it's fantastic depth and gameplay. So it was no surprise when Zelda: Link's Awakening (the fourth installment in the franchise) arrived on the original Game Boy. What did surprise people was the fact that it was almost universally haile..."

Emerging Technology Continues to Excite
Having just returned from IMTS as I sit to write this month's column, I thought I'd reflect back on some of the really cool stuff I saw at this year's show.
The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.
—George Lucas
Much of the technology we look at in the pages of Production Machining isn't particularly surprising to our readers. We're always looking for new ways to perform operations more efficiently, but many developments, while very useful and important, are often subtle improvements. They're certainly worth taking note of and considering for implementation, but they won't necessarily take the world by storm.
Less often, we come across some new technology that is rooted in an entirely different approach to accomplishing our final goals. These ideas hint at the potential to revolutionize the way we do things. Game changing ideas have been generated since the dawn of man. Some would say we're running out of room for such drastic recasting of procedures. It does seem that technology would slow down at some point, but man continues to amaze.
We can find extreme technological changes in many areas of life. Remember the emergence of the microwave oven, the cell phone and the internet? In the world of manufacturing, it's the big trade shows that offer the most common setting for revealing these new ideas. Having just returned from IMTS as I sit to write this month's column, I thought I'd reflect back on some of the really cool stuff I saw at this year's show, as well as shows past.
While I'm not old enough to have witnessed the introduction of numerical control to machine tools, my first visit to IMTS in 1988 allowed me to see firsthand the momentum of CNC and the impact it was having on the automation and efficiency of the production process. This was certainly a technology that everyone had their eye on, and it continues to leave its mark on the shop floor today.
Shops are always on the lookout for other ideas that will make a huge difference. When robots hit the shop floor, along with other workhandling concepts, they changed the way machines are loaded and unloaded. This technology continues to develop and become more noteworthy, along with other forms of automation that are helping shops get the most out of their existing personnel while dealing with the limited supply of skilled labor. It's an important trend that is making a difference to the viability of manufacturing operations, both here and around the world.
Each year, there seems to be a new hot topic. Some of these ideas take longer than others to find their true niche in the industry, but when a large interest develops, they're likely here to stay. Two years ago, additive manufacturing was in the limelight at IMTS, and it continued to garner much attention at this year's show. Many people like to debate its usefulness and practical application. While some may have thought it would eventually take the place of traditional subtractive manufacturing, the consensus now is on the side of viewing additive as a complementary process. In that role, its momentum is quickly building.
Data-driven manufacturing is another technology that is rapidly growing and finding new areas of application. This concept is being applied to so many different areas of the industry, from the machine tools themselves to automation to tool optimization, helping shops make better decisions about their manufacturing processes. Data collected from connected machines and accessories is used to refine production times, quality and efficiency. I'm not sure why I was surprised to see that cutting tool manufacturers can now offer sensor equipped tools that allow shops to adjust, control and monitor machining performance in real time. The development of exchangeability standards such as MT Connect have facilitated the ability to gather this information and apply it in meaningful ways. Companies are also taking the necessary cybersecurity steps to provide products that safeguard proprietary information that is shared among interconnected devices.
As new ideas are developed, they take hold in their own way, helping manufacturers refine their craft, providing high quality parts more efficiently. I can't wait to watch how these current emerging technologies shape the future of the shop floor, and I'm excited to see what new ideas come to the forefront in the coming years.
