A potentially in character argument for Chaos.
Chaos is often portrayed as the ultimate villain of the galaxy, the epitome of evil. In fact, all sorts of atrocities are committed with the justification that the terrible might possibly prevent some degree of Chaos incursion. Well, I would argue that Chaos isn't a villain at all and that it is the enemies of Chaos which are the true villains.
The Chaos gods are the true gods of mankind. It is the very nature of humanity which gives the Chaos gods their form. It is the courage, tenacity, ferocity and fighting prowess of humanity which empowers Khorne. It is mortal passion, our love of pleasure and desire for perfection which empowers Slaanesh. It is human intellect, curiosity, and drive to lear and explore which empowers Tzeentch. And it is our mortality itself, the briefness and hardship of each human life and the struggle against our inevitable demise which powers Nurgle. All of what is unique about humanity, all that makes us special, is personified in the gods of Chaos.
It is the Imperium and the followers of the God Emperor which suppress these natural elements of humanity in their fight against "Chaos." People's freedoms are tread upon, billions are killed as though their lives were worthless. People are not free to act or think as they desire. Even more insidiously, the true potential of human is suppressed. The destiny of human is to take their place along side of the gods as beings of the Warp, to become a powerful psychic race which can coexist with the Warp in perfect harmony. Yet the Emperor prevented this, it was his greatest fear that humanity might transcend its mortal frailty and become something greater. This is why for millennia countless psychics have been killed, why those who have been allowed to exist have been terribly persecuted and enslaved. These are the greatest among humanity, why are they so mistreated? Because of fear, because small minds fear humans becoming something greater than they are now.
Many of the problems of the Imperium stem from fear of Chaos, which is ultimately fear of the unknown or dogmatic adherence to policies created out of such fear. If humanity could coexist with the Warp, think of the ease of travel they might experience, think of the ease of communication. Imagine the strength humanity could wield on the battlefield if they embraced the powers of Khorne and allies with the Warp, which is essence part of themselves, instead of fighting against it. Think of the knowledge that could be gained if humanity opened itself to all learning and embraced the wisdom of Tzeentch, instead of clinging to past knowledge and rejecting new ways ideas.
If humanity embraced its true nature, embraced its true gods, then it could join those gods of the Warp and ascend into a new and greater race, one which were both masters of the materium and the inmaterium. Beings who could draw upon the power of the Warp and give the thoughts power and form. Beings which could move between worlds and across time effortlessly. Beings which would never need to fear the Xeno or even death itself, for the Warp transcends death and the greatest masters of the Warp - those who are called daemon princes - have become truly immortal. Imagine all of humanity ascending to this level.
Humanity already worships Chaos in its heart of hearts. An admiral gives an offering to Khorne with each battle he wins. A lover's every tender act of passion expression of affection is a prayer to Slaanesh. When every a scholar uncovers a new mystery, he is as a priest of Tzeentch. And all of gain the favor of Nurgle when we frantically struggle in the face of our mortality. No wonder the powers of the Warp are called "chaos" - you have chaos when people are at war with themselves and their own nature. You have destruction when people resist change and advancement. When we embrace Chaos, we embrace ourselves, we embrace a future where we can be better than what we are, we embrace hope.

You are disparaging the CDC because of one study which I have not made reference too. It seems they skewed that study but does that make obesity healthy? Are you suggesting that the list of health issues attributed to obesity is not true? You are also basing your 'new paradigm' on a single statistical analysis that goes against traditional wisdom and is not above reproach. I have already stated that I am skeptical about the study because of the snapshot quality of weight. Best of luck with your 'new paradigm', I just feel your sudden epiphany is taking you down the wrong path.
I'm not disparaging the CDC. I am pointing out that much of the fear connected with obesity can be attributed to the studies which scary pronouncements they were forced to publicly walk back. As it turns out, more people die from being underweight than from being morbidly obese. Neither of those extremes are safe. But why aren't we hearing about a 'skinny crisis' ? Yes, I am saying your statistics are not true. Please read the links I posted. Again, researchers funded by the diet industry ASSUME that correlation is causation.
All I can say is that at 290 I was obese and I felt like crap...and looked like crap, too. Maybe I wasn't unhealthy, but my blood pressure, GI problems, kidney issues and poor quality of life would say otherwise. I'll take 200 over 290 even if it shortens my life. I've been obese. I feel sorry for the people that will never break out of it. When you're obese you're several months, maybe even a few years, from a normal weight. I started working out and eating healthy 2/2010. After a month of working my ass off I was still obese. After three months of working my ass off I was still obese. After six months of working my ass off I was still overweight. I'm actually still overweight, but I feel good, my clothes fit me well, and women respond well to me so I'm pretty comfy. To respond to your previous post to me I don't have to white knuckle it to stay at 200. I've learned a ton in the past three years and can maintain 200 without much problem. Getting to 180 will take some more white knuckling which is probably why I haven't done it, but if one makes a true lifestyle change I don't think keeping it off is impossible.
I did read your links, did you read mine? I have never shared statistics. The only link I shared is the list of medical conditions attributed to obesity directly from the CDC. That list has nothing to do with the CDC obesity mortality study cited in your links. The CDC and most everyone agrees that there are serious health conditions caused by obesity. Do you believe these conditions occur at a higher rate in overweight and obese people?
Again, that's your call. I'm the one person in my profession constantly reminding people that we're all going to die. I'm just not going to be a party in helping people to do something that they are highly likely to be able to maintain. And I was just responding to your "It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life."
And again I am pointing out that the 'statistics' ASSUME obesity as the cause. But this has not been demonstrated. As Mark Twain remarked, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics." There is no obesity crisis. Americans are slightly heavier. They are getting older as they get heavier. As they get older they are more likely to contract the diseases associated with age. As they contract said diseases, researchers note that they are occurring in people who are getting heavier. They somehow conclude that it was the getting heavier part that caused the disease. What happened with a former diabetic client of mine is probably typical. Her precipitous weight-gain occured *at the time of her diabetes diagnosis.* It was not likely the cause of her diabetes. The cause was likely hereditary. Diabetes runs in her family. Aside: obese people have no more than a 6-8% risk of diabetes. She lost weight under my tutelage. Sure enough, her blood glucose returned to normal. Her doctor was ecstatic and was able to reduce her insulin accordingly. A few months later she had another heart attack. This is consistent with the federal study I cited which was discontinued on finding that weight loss, though helpful in reducing diabetes symptoms, does not prevent heart attacks. But here again, my heavy client has now survived TWO heart attacks and is going strong. This is consistent with studies which show that obesity confers protection for not only diabetes but also heart attacks.
Um, you already do. Most people join gyms and then never go. Most people start a workout regimine and quit after two weeks. Most people buy running shoes, jog for a couple weeks and then wear them to the mall. Most people do not maintain a fitness program...which is what you do for a living.
I'm no longer doing that. In light of the research I've already publicly disavowed that strategy. And I have taken pains to check back with all my clients, former and current, to bring them up to speed on those changes.
Since 1990 American women have gained all of 14 pounds, men all of 16 pounds. And I am going to posit that almost all or all of that very modest weight gain can be attributed to: (1) Americans getting older (2) Americans taking all manner of drugs which cause weight-gain (3) More and more Americans quitting smoking, which causes weight-gain (4) Chronic dieting which can lead to weight-gain
Thanks, I never feel entirely comfortable with a four-point presentation anyway. I mean, who does a four-point ? It's always three or maybe five.

paddington bear
I've had this coat for ages. I go through phases of wearing it and not wearing it, but I've yet to go through a phase where I feel that I need to replace it. There's something to be said for Burberry durability.
How are your holidays going? I'm currently in New Mexico, where reality television has been replaced by the antics and strange interactions of a flock of chickens, three semi-feral cats, and a spunky Boston Terrier. I swear species cross-communicate, à la Charlotte's Web. Needless to say, I can assure you I will have lots of photos to share after this trip.
Burberry duffle coat
vintage sweater
H&M jeans
Urban Outfitters socks
Dr. Martens loafers

Although cukes and peppers are whittling away at tomatoes' acreage, tomatoes — which put the region on the produce map — maintain their No. 1 spot with 38% of Ontario's total greenhouse acres, down from 44% in 2012.
Most growers reported completing their planting by the end of January.
It took three to four days to plant 30 new acres of tomatoes on the vine under glass at Mucci Farm, Kingsville, said Joe Spano, vice president of sales and marketing.
Tomato harvest could begin the second week of March, depending on when the plants went in, said David DiCiocco, director of DiCiocco Farms.
As for tomato pricing out of the region for 2013, growers and marketers said in late January that it was still too early to tell.
Jim DiMenna, president of JemD Farms, said he believes there is good reason for optimism, though.
DiMenna said Canada came out of last winter with a weak market partly because of weather in other growing regions. He expects prices to be better for Ontario greenhouse tomatoes this year.
DiCiocco and Spano also said they believe prices can continue the upswing of recent weeks after what they said was one of the most challenging price situations in memory last year.

So it sounds like you have 628 on your hr2xs. It also sounds like your system is setup to work over deca but you haven't said how your system is bridged to your home network.
A couple things. One do you have unpn turned on your router? If so its likely causing issues.
Personally as a test I'd disconnect your deca cloud from the home network, completely reset all networking settings and in all dtv boxes and then see what happens not using any fixed ip addresses or interacting with you home network. Let them get their own 169 addresses and talk to just themselves and see if anything changes. It's simple to do and may help elevate your frustration.
Thanks for the suggestions.
-My system is bridged via ethernet via the DECA Broadband connector to my home router
- I have tried previously disconnecting from the home network with the old box, that didn't help.
- I did have uPNP turned on withing the router. I'll try turning it off and see what happens (though I might need it for other applications.)
Thanks again ...

Patient Financial Services
The Patient Financial Services staff is available to respond to inquiries by phone regarding billing.
Via the phone, patients may request an itemized statement, pay their amount due with a checking account or credit card, set up a payment plan, and/or provide additional insurance information not given at the time of service.
In addition, our staff can provide some information related to the patient's insurance benefits and exclusions.
Q. What is the difference between a co-payment, co-insurance and deductible?
A. In most cases, health insurance carriers offer two major types of coverage; HMO plans or traditional plans. HMO plans generally set a fixed dollar amount for office visits, outpatient visits, emergency room visits and sometimes inpatient stays that the patient is required to pay directly to the provider at the time of service. This is called a co-payment.
Traditional plans and Medicare establish a fixed dollar amount that must be paid by the patient (usually annually) prior to any payment made by the health insurance carrier. This is called a deductible.
A co-insurance is typical with traditional plans and Medicare. The health insurance carrier pays a percentage of the charge and the remaining balance is the responsibility of the patient.
Q. Why was my health insurance carrier not billed?
A. There are times when Kaleida Health does not have adequate insurance information to generate a bill to the insurance carrier. In these cases, we have no alternative but to send a patient statement to the patient's guarantor requesting additional information. When you register for medical services, it is very important that you provide all of the necessary information so that we are able to bill your insurance carrier for payment.
Q. What information is needed to bill my insurance carrier?
A. The following information is required:
- The name, address and phone number of your insurance carrier.
- The subscriber's name on the policy.
- The identification number including any prefix and/or suffix.
- The effective date of the policy.
It is very helpful if you show the registration clerk or receptionist your health insurance identification card each time you come in for medical services. You may ask to have this information read back to you to ensure your record is accurate.
Q. Why did it take so long for me to receive a bill?
A. It is a practice of Kaleida Health not to bill a patient until we have exhausted all means of obtaining payment from your health insurance carrier. At times, we receive partial payments or denials that we feel are incorrect. Therefore, we must follow the appeal process established by your health insurance carrier to dispute their decision. These processes can result in a delay in billing you for your portion of the bill.
Q. How can I obtain a detailed or itemized statement?
A. Simply call our customer service department at 859-7200 Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm and our representatives will be happy to mail you one.
Q. Can I pay my co-payment or balance by credit card?
A. All of the Kaleida Health sites accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. You may charge any payment utilizing one of these credit cards. We can also take this information over the phone if it is inconvenient for you to come to a cashier window in person, or you can pay online.

Suspected U.S. Missiles Kill 7 Militants in Pakistan
Published: November 14, 2011
Updated: November 15, 2011 at 12:03 AM ET
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) - A suspected U.S. drone fired missiles at a house
in northwestern Pakistan near the Afghan border early Tuesday morning,
killing seven alleged militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The strike occurred in Miran Shah, the main town in the North Waziristan
tribal area, a key hub for Taliban and al-Qaida militants, said the
officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not
authorized to talk to the media.
Most of the suspected militants killed in the attack were from the
Pakistani Taliban, said the officials. Insurgents linked to Afghan
militant groups who were harboring them were also killed, they said.
The U.S. has conducted around 200 drone strikes in North Waziristan in
recent years, mostly targeting al-Qaida militants and Afghan Taliban
fighters who are battling American troops in Afghanistan. Some of the
strikes have also hit the Pakistani Taliban, who are allied with Afghan
groups but have focused their fighting against the Pakistani state.
The U.S. does not acknowledge the CIA-run drone program in Pakistan
publicly, but officials have said privately that the strikes have killed
many senior al-Qaida and Taliban commanders.
Pakistani officials have criticized the strikes as violations of the
country's sovereignty, but the government is widely believed to have
supported the strikes in the past and even let the drones take off from
bases inside Pakistan.
That support has become strained as the relationship between the U.S. and
Pakistan has deteriorated, especially in the wake of the covert American
raid that killed al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden in a Pakistani garrison
town in May. The Pakistani government was not notified of the operation
The U.S. has pushed Pakistan to take military action in North Waziristan,
or at least provide Washington with intelligence that could be used to
target insurgents battling American forces in Afghanistan. The U.S. is
especially focused on the Haqqani network, which it deems the most
dangerous militant group in Afghanistan.
Pakistan has said it can't conduct a military operation in North
Waziristan because its troops are stretched too thin fighting the
Pakistani Taliban in other parts of the tribal region. Many analysts
believe, however, that Pakistan is reluctant to target groups like the
Haqqani network with which it has historical ties and could be useful
allies in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw.

Missile strike kills 3 militants: Pakistani officials
MIRANSHAH: A US drone strike targeting a militant compound killed three rebels in Pakistan's tribal region of North Waziristan near the Afghan border on Tuesday, security officials said.
The strike took place in Miranshah Bazaar, part of the town of Miranshah, in the troubled North Waziristan region, known as a strong bastion of Taliban and Al-Qaeda linked militants.
"A US drone fired two missiles on a militant compound in the bazaar killing three militants," a security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
He said thick smoke was seen coming out of the compound after the strike, adding the identities of those killed could not be immediately verified.
Another security official also confirmed the strike and casualties, saying that four to five drones were still flying in the area.
Covert CIA drones are the chief US weapon against Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants who use Pakistan's lawless tribal areas as launch pads for attacking US troops in Afghanistan and plotting attacks on the West.
Under President Barack Obama, the United States has drastically stepped up drone strikes in Pakistan but it refuses to discuss them publicly. The strikes have boosted anti-US sentiments in the country.
More than 60 US drone strikes have been reported in Pakistan so far this year, and dozens since Navy SEALs killed Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in the garrison city of Abbottabad, close to the capital Islamabad, on May 2.
The raid humiliated Pakistan but is thought to have contributed to debate within the military about the merits of traditional support for jihadi groups.
Visiting Islamabad last month, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Pakistan to take action within "days and weeks" on dismantling Afghan militant havens and encouraging the Taliban into peace talks.
But although Pakistan recognised it could do more in clamping down on Afghan insurgents, it offered no details on how, and commanders are unwilling to launch a sweeping offensive in North Waziristan, base of the Haqqani Taliban faction.
Relations between Pakistan and the United States deteriorated sharply this year over the bin Laden raid in May and again over accusations that Pakistani intelligence was involved in September's siege of the US embassy in Kabul.
The United States blames the Haqqanis for fuelling the 10-year insurgency in Afghanistan, attacking US-led NATO troops and working to destabilise the Western-backed government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
The tense partnership between Pakistan and the United States in the war on terror took a further battering last month, with Washington demanding that Islamabad take action against the Haqqani network and cut ties to the group.
The Pakistani military says it is too over-stretched fighting local Taliban to acquiesce to American demands to launch an offensive against the Haqqanis, a battle that not all observers think the Pakistani military would win. AGENCIES

I wanted to create a animatronic head for a costume I'm constructing. I wanted it to be entirely self contained- no exposed wires, etc. and unlike many animatronics used in movies, I didn't want to use radio control due to complexity/control issues. I also couldn't afford a commercial animatronics controller.
Enter the MAKE controller! This piece of hardware allows you to connect readily available hobby servos (as well as motors, lights, etc.) to simple analog input devices (I'm using flex sensors) to control movements. I have this set up running the controller in POLY mode, which doesn't require any computer programming and is very easy to configure. Of course you can always program the controller later on to maximize its potential- it's a pretty amazing piece of hardware.
Here's what the finished animatronic armature looks like (it's mounted to an old welding helmet as a test rig) along with a movie clip and what the finished costume will look like- it's a Horus guard from Stargate.
Here's a video of it working-
There are a ton of possibilities using this controller for animatronics:
Make a Predator costume with animatronic head and shoulder cannon
Build a giant dinosaur with a moveable head, eyes and tail that reacts to movements or goes through a pre programmed routine
Create interactive displays and haunted house attractions
Follow along and I'll show how the mechanism for the Horus head is constructed and maybe you'll be inspired to create your own animatronics....
UPDATE: Makingthings.com, the manufacturer of the MAKE controller has removed the POLY mode firmware necessary for this instructable from their website and it no longer is included in the firmware for the controller. If I can find an earlier version of the firmware necessary I'll post it here. They have also removed all tutorials regarding the POLY functions. Bummer. I have started working with the Arduino platform due to it's lower cost, smaller size and ease of use and have created another animatronics tutorial here:
1-40 of 69 | Next » |
Hi ! Thanks for the clear instructions. I am building a tool where I use servos and am looking for crank/ clevis mechanisms similar to the one you have used. Where can I get them from? and how do you fix it to the servo arms? I currently use a Tower Pro SG92R servo
I have a project on hand and would like to discuss with you, can you call me (Harry) at 340-513-1995.
See the video over at YouTube:
The Arduino Nano and Fio both have eight analog inputs and the Mega has even more but it's much more expensive. The Fio is the only Arduino that has eight analog inputs that costs under $30.
There's a spreadsheet here that shows all the different Arduino versions-
I've actually already designed an animatronic Predator head (I haven't yet built it) so if you need help with it let me know. I'll have my Arduino animatronics tutorial up soon- I'm just putting the finishing touches on all the code examples and organizing all the photos, etc. It's going to be a fun one!
I am almost finished writing all the code for my Arduino animatronics tutorial and I've designed a board that will allow you to connect six bend sensors to six servos (amongst other things) so stay tuned!
As for some help with the Horus you may want to have a look here:
This guy does unbelievable work!
It didn't win any prizes, but it was popular at the Swancon Masquerade.
About a week later it almost got destroyed when a car crashed into our house.
My latest project was an flexing tongue for another costume using an Arduino, cheaper, smaller and less power hungry.
Thanks for a great Instructable.
Bend sensors can get pretty noisy, especially when you have to use them with long wires. I've redesigned my Horus control system to be wireless using the Arduino platform.
Servos can be purchased for around $10 or so unless you need a servo that is very fast or strong. The MAKE controller with application board costs $109. Lately I've been using the Arduino platform, which is much easier (for me) to use and is significantly less expensive. When I finish the Stargate helmet project that is what I'll be using.
Thanks =)

Outstanding 100%mandyrut Best place to stay in Amsterdam...The owners are amazing and they will do anything to help. The room is so clean. Breakfast is provided daily and is more then you can eat. Plus they stock the fridge with more food and drink then you need. I told all my friends it was like staying with family that mind there own business. I will be back as it was the best hotel I have stayed in while visiting Europe.
inmaone An experience to repeat the situation of the ideal boat for relaxing, clean, well maintained, near of the central station. Joanna is lovely and will provide bicycles, essential in Amsterdam.
matthew_do I booked the Hotelboot Angeline for a group on a long weekend, looking for a good central location, at a good price with flexibility on access. The hotel certainly exceeded expectations, moored next to the Nemo centre, location is perfect a short ten minute walk to the Central Station and the night time 'attractions'. The hotel itself given its a boat is pretty comfortable, very clean with a friendly atmosphere. Breakfast in the morning is adequate with planty of choice of cereal, cold meets and cheeses and freshly brewed coffee. I would thoroughly recommend the Hotelboot Angeline for those of you looking for a short visit or a group weekend away with a central location. Thanks!
roisindoherty We have just returned home after a great stay in your beautiful city. TThe Studio was perfect for our stay in every way. When we return to Amsterdam we would definitely stay in this studio again. Thank you.
tomhubbard3 An extremely nice BB with nice friendly staff in a perfect location to see Amsterdam. The staff made us feel at home and welcome and were helpful if we needed directions or advice etc. Great bedroom with good facilitys. Cheers Atila
colettecra We had a really lovely stay in Amsterdam made even better by Easy Nuh Man being a real home from home. The whole place was really clean and fresh. The room itself was very spacious with high ceilings and the bed soooo comfortable I struggled to get out of it! Big airy kitchen with everything you might need if you want to cook or just prepare some breakfast. Nice big windows everywhere too. Great shower and use of washing machine. Location is perfect - lots very nearby but not noisy at all. Really good street for shopping and 2 mins from the museums and Vondelpark. Nice restaurants nearby if you don't want to go into the centre but trams on the doorstep if you do which are very quick and easy to use. Really nice touches like fresh flowers in the room and weather forecast for our stay! Nick was a great host and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely stay here again!

Everyone saying the Pledge of Allegiance followed the opening songs.
Principal Diane Burd's opening remarks highlighted the importance of recognizing veterans and thanking them for their service.
"This is service to a cause greater than itself," she said before introducing guest speaker Lamar Taylor.
Taylor was PDS's first Veterans Day speaker who is not a veteran. He is the parent of a veteran. His son Bradley recently completed serving overseas.
Taylor conveyed to the congregation the passion of his son's dedication to his country and his family's emotional journey during his son's deployment in Afghanistan.
"His mind was made up. There was no doubt about it. He was very passionate about what he wanted to do," Taylor said of his son, Bradley
He painted a picture of each emotion his family experienced during Bradley's service — fear and anxiety, faith, and pride.
"When anxiety and fear crept in on you, you turned back to what your foundation is…faith in Jesus Christ," he said before reading the Soldier's Creed.
Taylor continued to recount the experiences of those serving with his son, their families, the memorial services of the fallen soldiers and the continuous reminder of how fortunate the soldiers in the room were to be home.
He described the support and dedication of a mother who attended the homecoming ceremony whose son had been killed in action.
"There was a lady sitting there with a gold star and she had the name of her son (on it). She was there supporting the others. He had been killed at an earlier date, but she was there for them," said Taylor.
He recalled the massive support of those attending the homecoming that had no affiliation with the armed forces, and the sympathy he felt for those who returned home to be greeted by no one.
"Probably the most humbling thing about it was, as you watched that crowd of people when they met, there was probably 30 in that group that was in the back on the wall. They never had anybody there for them. So, these were people who weren't doing it for any reason other than their intent was to serve the United States," he continued.
"That was probably the one of the biggest humbling items for us."
Taylor encouraged those attending the program to show their appreciation for the service men and women as often as they could.
"Today, young people, when you see a veteran, when you see a soldier in the airport, in the mall, even in a restaurant, just take two seconds to stop and say 'Thank you'," he said as he began to share slides of his son Bradley's deployment days.
Following his talk, each veteran was recognized when the anthem of their branch of service was sang and the flags of those branches presented to the congregation.
A heartfelt delivery of "God Bless America" by the fifth- and sixth-graders with an invitation for the congregation to join followed.
Pastor of First Presbyterian Church Michael McLuster said regular Friday chapel services with students reciting weekly Bible versus by grade.
Burd then offered a final thank you to the veterans for their selflessness and a reception for them was held after services where the students were able to meet the veterans to whom they had been writing this year.

Mueller Adjustable Elbow Support
Mueller elbow support
I purchased this item without actually seeing it in the store. I had been looking for a support of this type for awhile. I purchased two and they work just fine. It gives my elbow medium protection which was what I wanted. It is easy to put on and I am very satisfied. Mueller has always made fine quality product and this is another one.

Does the job
The wrap has provided the type of comfort and support I expected. Great to use for heavy lifting days.

For serious elbow support, keep looking
I liked the idea of adjustable straps. Problem is, they refuse to stay closed! Everytime I lift heavy (which is when I need the most support) the velcro straps pop right off. If you want real elbow support for strenuous activity, look elsewhere.

Great brace for fit/support/comfort!!
I use this when my RA in my elbows act up and it is great for support and helping ease the pain through the compression which is adjustable with the straps. The tighter- the more compression. Even better it's made from recycled plastic! (very soft sleeve)

Take flights to Bangkok for fragrant street-side food, riverboat rides and Buddhist palaces gleaming gold at sunset.
Things to do
Travel Bangkok's Chao Phraya River as the setting sun silhouettes the profiles of ancient wats (Buddhist temples). Amulet sellers line Tha Maharat, leading to the Grand Palace's spires and bell-shaped stupas.
Siamese kittens, pungent spices, fighting cocks, hand-carved masks and reams of technicolour fabrics lure holidaymakers to Bangkok's labyrinthine Chatuchak Weekend Market. Hone your haggling skills and take an early morning Skytrain to explore the market at its coolest.
Plumes of chilli-scented smoke rise from the flaming woks in Banglamphu's narrow sois (backstreets). Chang beer in hand, sit at one of the curb-side stalls, where small change buys you a feast of pad thai noodles, tangy papaya salad and deep-fried shrimp.
Flights to Bangkok take revellers to neon-lit Khao San Road, where tuk-tuks dart like fireflies amid the beer-sipping crowds. For tattoos, massages and the occasional passing elephant, this hedonistic party street is the place to go in Bangkok.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Bangkok. Time your Bangkok city break to catch fireworks and marigold-strewn streets at the King's Birthday on 5th December, or water-loaded fun during Songkran (Thai New Year) in April.

Daily News Calls Anjani's CD "Blue Light" – Typo or Clue?
When I first noticed the reference to Anjani's album in the antepenultimate paragraph of Magnifying Their Talent, an article by Michael Giltz in yesterday's New York Daily News, I assumed the name given for her CD was simply an error:
It's a good moment for Cohen, who's recovering from financial mismanagement that reportedly left him nearly bankrupt, despite a world-renowned music catalogue. His protégé and partner Anjani Thomas released her collaboration with Cohen, "Blue Light,"1 last year. And on Aug. 7, Jennifer Warnes will issue a 20th-anniversary edition of Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat."
I figured somehow the correct name, "Blue Alert" had been transformed into "Blue Light" by Mr. Giltz or someone else at the Daily News and the fact checker had likewise missed the mistake. Still, it seemed worth a follow-up.
The crack Heck of a Guy investigative staff indeed found a mistake but not one made by the editorial staff. Instead, the error was committed by a clerk in the Marketing division at Sony, the record label for both Anjani Thomas and Leonard Cohen, who had responded to the routine request from the Daily News for promotional information by accidentally sending documentation, meant for internal use only, of alternative image and sales campaigns for the CD that currently known as "Blue Alert."
The Anti-Alert Movement
Pondering the re-release of "Blue Alert, the Marketing mavens remained enthusiastic about "blue," which had been and continued to be a hot, desirable color.
They concluded, however, that "alert" was a counterproductive term to use in the title of an album of romantic, jazz-flavored songs. The national and global hypervigilance following multiple terrorist activities and threats, the color-coded warnings issued by the American government, and official alarms of all sorts, it was said, loaded "alert" with connotations that hindered sales.2
Based on this argument, Sony management gave their imprimatur for work to begin on alternative campaigns but warned those charged with this task that expenditures were to be kept to a minimum, dictating specifically that the current "Blue Alert" artwork could be adapted but no new professional fees for graphics and photography would be approved.
A short time later, several possible programs were presented to management.
The Blue Light Special
Sony and Kmart developed a joint promotion calling for special discount pricing for CDs sold at Kmart in return for heavy advertising and the re-institution of Kmart's infamous Blue Light Specials. In an unusual clause on the final page, Sony also reserved the right to assign Anjani and Leonard Cohen to night shift duties on the cash registers at a Kmart in Joplin, Missouri if CD sales goals are not met.
The Blue Lite Diet CD
Noting the perpetually strong sales of diet books, Marketing recommended a shift in genre from Jazz to Weight Loss, including a booklet of low-cal diets, and adding two tracks of left-over Jane Fonda exercise tracks, to promote the All Blue Diet, promising weight reduction while allowing dieters to eat as much as they wished – of any naturally occurring blue foods. In conjunction with this proposed change in focus, Sony's research arm developed an edible polymer that can be used in the manufacture of CDs. According to the literature, the CD itself, initially available in orange and licorice flavors, contains 100% of daily nutritional requirements and could be marketed as rations to survivalists should the dieters fail to bite.
Blue Lite & Brite – Get Happy With Anjani
Several marketers felt the original content of "Blue Alert" was too emotionally evocative. "Lighten up" was, indeed, the consensus. In addition to the changes in the CD art seen above, recommendations were forthcoming to attenuate some of the more intense songs.
"Crazy To Love You," for example, is to be rewritten as "Mildly Neurotic To Care For You Somewhat," "Half The Perfect World" would become "An Eighth Of A Not All That Bad A World," and "No One After You" is to be listed as "Only A Few Others After You and Hardly Anyone Else At All As Long As We're Still Together." The most significant transformation involves revising "Thanks For The Dance" into "Thanks For The Pants," a song of appreciation for the gift of a nice pair of slacks.
More Blues
Other proposals included this campaign for Blue Lytes, Anjani's own electrolyte fortified sports drink,
… and the somewhat troubling "Anjani Goes Blue," a tribute to the humor of Red Foxx.
Staying Alert
It is impossible to determine from the memos, PowerPoint presentations, and other documents if any of these changes will be made or, if so, which one has been chosen.
But, if Anjani starts her next performance with a dirty joke, …
Anjani and Anjani Thomas: An Aside On Names
Anjani and Anjani Thomas are, for the purposes of the Heck of a Guy blog, synonymous names, both of which refer to the exotically lovely, dulcet-voiced singer best known for her Blue Alert CD and her long-term relationship with Leonard Cohen. I include this clarification on posts about Anjani-Anjani Thomas in part for the purpose of what the folks at Wikipedia call disambiguation (i.e., to positively identify for the reader and remove any doubts the reader might have about which Anjani of all the possible Anjanis is being discussed) and in part to aid and abet the search engines. While a rose is, famously, a rose is a rose, a "tea rose," for example, is not exactly the same as a "rose" – especially to a search engine. Searches that include "Anjani" as part of the search terms may not produce the same results as the same search terms other with "Anjani Thomas" substituted for "Anjani." Should any other Anjani, say one who has not produced a CD called "Blue Alert" or one who has not been associated with Leonard Cohen for the decade, I promise to do my best to make that identification clear as well.
- Emphasis mine [↩]
- There is also reference to an official complaint from a Star Trek Cooperative operating near Modesto, California that had purchased "Blue Alert" in the expectation that it would contain the sounds involved in the type of Blue Alert used on Star Trek, according to Wikipedia, "to indicate a situation on a starship or outpost such as docking maneuvers, separation maneuvers, landing, or an environmental issue." The extent to which the disappointment of the Star Trek fans influenced Sony is not clear [↩]
