Police find driver pantless in Brandon
BRANDON -- A valid licence wasn't the only thing missing when a driver ran a van into a city beer vendor -- she was also missing her pants.
Crown attorney Grant Hughes said police got a surprise when they pulled over 43-year-old Josephine Agnes Baydak as she tried to drive away from the collision scene.
"She was naked from the waist down... Both Miss Baydak and the male passenger indicated they were having sex and that's why their pants were off," Hughes told Brandon court late last week.
Baydak was charged with impaired driving -- she had a mix of booze and drugs in her system as she tried to drive away from the scene.
As for the sequence of events that led to the collision with the building, they weren't outlined in court but Baydak's lawyer offered the following explanation on behalf of his client.
"She does indicate the accident wasn't caused as a result of her impairment, but more as a result of the activities she was engaged in in the vehicle," defence lawyer Ryan Fawcett told court.
Details of Tuesday evening's collision emerged as Baydak pleaded guilty to impaired driving.
She also pleaded guilty to identity fraud, failing to leave particulars after an accident and driving with an invalid licence.
Hughes said a City Centre Hotel employee called police around 8 p.m. to report that a vehicle had hit the vendor and they believed the driver was impaired.
Police arrived just as the damaged van was exiting the parking lot and they pulled it over. Nude below the waist, Baydak was in the driver's seat.
She showed signs of being impaired -- she had watery eyes, spoke quickly and fumbled the cigarette she was smoking and dropped it in her lap.
She was told to put pants on and, as she moved to the back of the vehicle to do so, police spotted an open bottle of liquor on the van's floor.
Tests showed that Baydak had a blood-alcohol level at, or just above, the legal limit. However -- besides admitting to drinking vodka and beer, she admitted that she'd smoked marijuana and taken prescription pills.
It's the combination of drugs and alcohol that led her to plead guilty to impaired driving for trying to drive away from the collision scene.
At first, she gave police her sister's name but Baydak's identity was discovered with the help of corrections records.
Her British Columbia driver's licence had expired in 2003. Baydak comes from B.C., but currently lives in Saskatchewan and was visiting Brandon.
Judge John Combs fined Baydak a total of $1,900 for all her charges and banned her from driving for a year.

"Classic Whodunnit"
I had some serious doubts about this one. Not a big fan of reporter based crime stories but wow was I wrong. And the narrator does a simply superb job as well. This may (I hope) be the first book in a great series, and a welcome addition to my authors list now that we have lost Robert Parker's Spenser series. Give "Rogue Island" a try, if you like really good mystery/crime with characters that are pretty well developed, this is for you
"Great Story Better Narration"
I purchased lthe entire Worldwar sweries and found that the story really carried the recording because the narration was really poor, The story was great though, and i eventually got used to the boring narration, When this version arrived I took a chance and bought it. What a difference. Todd McLearn really delivers and makes the story come to life. I have already bought to first two volumes and plan to buy the next one and the "Colonization" series too. That means I will have paid for the same story twice, but the narration here is so much better than the original version that its worthwhile. I highly recommend the series, but you need to be sure you take them in order. It would be a ot easier to do that if they would number them book one, two etc. Get the frst one put on your headphones and prepare to be swept up in a titanic struggle. Will humanity continue to rule itself, or will it suffer the same fate as did the native Americans when they met superior technology at the hands of Cortez and Columbus. Only Harry Turtledove and you will know for sure.
"A Killer Series Installment Number 6"
Number six in a series that just keeps getting better and better. These kinds of book series always leave me wishing I had waited to start until the whole series is out and available so that I can get the whole story at once, As has been said before, don't start at number 6. Go start with the first in the series and let Kratman's story just roll over you. Its the best kind of military science fiction written by a warrior with experience in the real world of battle, Its a slap in the face with an ice cold dash of Heinlein, just when you need it most. The narration is superb, the characters are three dimensional and the tactics sound. What more can I xay, Buy the first book in the series and give it a listen, d! Oh, and give his other books, "State of Disobedience" and "Caliphate" a listen too. Well worth a credit!
"Great premise, poorly realized"
Terrific concept. It harks back to the juvenile novels of the fifties and the young man who achieves space flight via a home made space ship or one discovered left by a long lost Alien civilization.
It has made me want tom reread the Andre Norton Forerunner series.
Writing is very poor. People just don't think or talk the way the author depicts them.
He had a rough row to hoe making poor writing sound good. His various voices were hard to distinguish.
Not worth the credit. I boughten this because it was a fun idea,but the writing is so poor that I just can't seem to get through it. Needs to be rewritten by someone who can write in believable style and context.
"A Terrific Mystery With A Canine Twist"
This is just a wonderful story with two heros, one human and one K-9, It grabs you from the first sentence and doesn't let up til the last word is spoken. Good narration caps off a stellar performance. And it sheds light on a problem, PTSD, that so many must live with everyday. If you love dogs, this one is for you. If you love crackling good crime stories, this one is for you. If you just like a great yarn, this is for you, for sure. Don't miss it! I really hope Robert Crais brings back this crime fighting duo, Scott and Maggie, in many more stories, More than worth a credit. Get it NOW.
Scott and Maggie were the starts of the show. They were able to work through their PTSD to triumph together
The pack is everything
"Good fill in til the next real Jack Reacher book"
I like the Reacher series and this reads like it belongs there
Could easily fit into the Reacher series
Performance good but below that clipped delivery I've grown to like in the Reacher books
Jack Reacher..John Puller. Really? I wonder how long until we get one staring Jim Lifter or Jonas Jumper. Both with brothers in distress, both with Army cop backgrounds. Still, until the next Reacher book,comes along its worth a credit, if you like the Reacher genre. Give it a listen.
"Wow, a new look at history and really fascinating"
The story is a first person inside look at the ministry of Jesus Christ.
The one on one approach to the greatest story ever told. Listens like a novel
The climax
It made me think about what I have always believed
It is set up like a science fiction novel, but told as fact, as if you are walking with the protagonist, seeing it all first hand. Riviting!
"Another outstanding effort, Terrific!!"
So vivid I had to take frequent breaks to think about what the author's characters were telling me. Wonderfully presented with really three dimensional views of the hell that our guys had to face at Okinawa. This was about the best book for me, this year. I was sorry that it was over. Buy it, its well worth your while.
"Hot action at the Hot Gate"
If you're looking for terrific military sf, John Ringo delivers again. Definitely sets you up for next volume. And the story unfolds into new characters and story lines. Although I kind of miss the hardy New England souls in book one, the new folk make up for the lack. Not for tofu eaters though.
"Avoid Burt Reynolds Narration"
Parkers books are all five star. But Burt Reynolds narration is below terrible. Big chunks are literally unintelligible. I gave 2 stars on the basis of the story, but I would strongly suggest you save your credit and avoid this audio book. Fine actor, terrible book narration. Buy the paper book and record it yourself, it'd sound better!!!

Care of typhonium venosum
I purchased what was supposed to be amorphophallus konjac and a. bulbifer and got this!
How do I take care of it? The only posts I see are from people in zones 5 & 6. I'm zone 9b, hot, humid and semi-tropical. Are these just doomed here?
Sun? Fertilizer? Dormancy? Temp requirements?
I NEVER would have purchased this plant, it seems more of a northern thing, certainly wouldn't have potted them in pots on the deck.
Right now they get am sun, in the mix I use for my amorphs, watered when dry.
Thanks! Tally HO!
It is a tropical plant!! We northern people like it because it makes a nice tropical look and is soooooo easy to grow. Put it in the ground and forget about it where you live. In a pot keep it moist like an Amorph and fertilize well, like an Amorph. The get out of its way since they reproduce soooo fast!!
Arisaema: Try some of the spectacular tropicals....there are many, but they are difficult to locate because most southern gardenres seem to love the large leaf plants I guess. How about a diminutive barnesii....maybe a sub-tropical variant of tortuosum. Perhaps an album, maybe a cordatum (good luck finding it) or a fimbriata....there are many tropical Arisaema to be honest (rhizomatum just popped into my head)......I'm getting one in from Darwin, Aus in about a week, and more from Thailand later this fall because I like them....they are all tropical, but require serious work to find. Best of luck :o) Dan
Hello, I have a question...
I have a t. venosum bulb that I got from a garage sale, tuber was 3 in. in diameter, flowering size. After it bloomed it produced 2 leaf stalks, with a third one on the way. And I was wondering, after reading conflicting advice about t. venosum sun exposure,does it do best in full sun or shade? This was my first year growing this plant and I have it under full sun right now. Small white patches are developing on one of the leaves. (This is not the "indian giant" variety, it is the true species.)
Well, I kill few if any plants but this one would not grow for me. Not in the ground, not in pots, not in sun, shade....they did OK the first year, bulbs got smaller and less growth the second year and then they were none.
They are listed as zone 5-8 I think, whatever the heat and humidity did them in. I don't know anyone on the coast that has managed to grow these or Jack in the pulpits or their relatives. They will grow further inland like Conroe or North Houston but not here. Can't grow toad lilies either and I KNOW they grow just 80 miles inland.
Tally HO!

Man rescued after plunge over Niagara Falls
A man was rescued Monday morning after falling into the thundering waters below Niagara Falls.

A man in his 40s was rescued Monday after plummeting over Niagara Falls and into the thundering waters below.
"He did go over the falls and his injuries are in line with that," said Niagara Falls fire department platoon chief Dan Orescanin.
The fire department answered a call at 10:21 a.m. Monday and rushed to the Horseshoe Falls, the Canadian side of the waterfall.
Shocked witnesses told police the man jumped into the water from a wall above the Horseshoe Falls, plunging some 50 metres. He is the third person to survive the plummet without safety gear.
Orescanin said the man swam to the shore from the Niagara River — a tumultuous stretch of water riddled with whirlpools.
An officer from the Niagara Parks police made first contact with the man, who was sitting upright and breathing. Officers described the man's injuries as life-threatening.
Orescanin said the man was suffering from hypothermia and had sustained chest and rib injuries, a collapsed lung and gashes to the head and shoulders.
A team of 19 fire fighters — seven of whom rappelled a steep wall to the shore below — safely placed the man in a basket and lifted him to the observation deck above using a rope system attached to the fire truck. He was finally brought to safety about 12:15 p.m.
Jared Fisk, a journalism graduate from Ottawa, was visiting Niagara Falls with his family and saw the rescue effort.
"I saw a fire cruiser do a 360 in front of me in the morning," said Fisk, who was taking a jog around town. "Later (at the falls) I see all these people looking over the edge."
An ORNGE helicopter was on scene and flew the victim to Hamilton General hospital around 12:40 p.m.
Fire officials could not say whether the man was a tourist.
The last person to survive plunging into the falls was a 30-year-old Canadian in March 2009.
In October 2003, Michigan daredevil Kirk Jones survived a jump into the falls and was charged with mischief.
Although the area was temporarily roped off on Monday, fire crews said the rescue would not affect the evening's Victoria Day fireworks.
The rescue comes three weeks before Nik Wallenda's highly-anticipated tightrope walk over the monumental gorge.

Mobile Game 'Boom Beach' Review
Well, I'm hooked again. Darn it smartphone! You may have seen the ads on TV for Boom Beach? What's it like? Pretty awesome!
Well, I'm hooked again. Darn it smartphone! You may have seen the ads on TV for Boom Beach? What's it like? Pretty awesome!
After 65 million years, the dinosaurs are coming back and they'll be in Duluth! Seriously, this is a fun, interactive, hands-on exhibit that will provide hours of fun and learning this weekend. I'm a fan of the Bejeweled game and found this fun Dino Drop game (like Bejeweled for kids) to get you in the mood to explore prehistoric times this weekend!
I had never heard of such a thing, "nerf wars". Our nerf options were pretty slim when I was a child, a round ball or a football. That's it, no gun or nerf pellets. These "toys" are causing quite a stir in the City of Cloquet with something called "Nerf Wars" and local law enforcement is making some important suggestions that participants need to know before playing.
I am sure I'm going to embarrass my daughter, but I admit I have NEVER played Candy Crush before. Are you addicted? If you played in the month of December, you were part of the 98 million active players a day. Their parent company King is planning on going public.
Unless you have formal training in punching things, an arcade boxing machine is not something you should try out in front of other people, as the chance of embarrassment is quite high.
That goes double for taking a video of your first attempt at the game, as the two young men in this video so unfortunately learned. (At least we think it's their first time. It has to be.)
Here we go with technology again! No more scanning for a beer vendor at the game. Soon you can tweet for a sweet or a brew!

We overnighted in Billings, Montana. The park had a beautiful entrance and a great office, BUT when we got to the site it was pretty much a gravel driveway.

Small changes are helping to meet travel rules
Posted June 19, 2013
By Greg Cima
Dr. Dave Sjeklocha's business has made small changes in how it ships dairy bull calves in response to new livestock identification rules.
Some colleagues who work with beef cattle have been "blissfully unaware" of the requirements, he said.
Since March 11, the Department of Agriculture has required identification and health documentation for most livestock that cross state lines, which is having more impact on movement of cattle than on other livestock. The requirements are intended to help trace the origins and movements of animals during a disease outbreak.
Dr. Sjeklocha, immediate past president of the Academy of Veterinary Consultants and operations manager of animal health and welfare for Cattle Empire, a cattle feeding business, said his company already had been verifying the sources and ages of the calves it bought in Colorado and shipped to Kansas. The most substantial change made by his company entailed using a different type of ear tags.
The federal rules include some exemptions. For example, beef cattle younger than 18 months do not need to be identified unless they will be used in events such as exhibitions or rodeos, and neither do cattle that temporarily cross state lines for grazing.
Dr. John R. Clifford, deputy administrator and chief veterinary officer for the Veterinary Services division of the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, said in May that the identification would provide a good foundation for tracing the origins and movements of animals during a disease outbreak.
"Is it going to be fast enough for certain diseases that can spread very rapidly, within a matter of days? It's not there yet, but, because of the bookend approach, it will definitely benefit us in our ability to trace animals," Dr. Clifford said.
That bookend approach involves using unique numbers to show where an animal was first officially identified, such as a birth farm or ranch, and where it was slaughtered. Travel documentation will show movement between states.
Dr. William L. Brown, Kansas animal health commissioner, said three years of preparation and livestock owner education by his state's animal disease traceability working group helped ensure a smooth transition.
"Kansas is a net importer of cattle, and so that places us at a disease risk," he said.
State officials in Kansas also have worked to minimize the cost of animal identification, and that has included distributing official USDA identification tags and allowing use of alternatives such as vaccination tags, Dr. Brown said.
Dr. Clifford said APHIS has been promoting use of the official USDA ear tags, helping create tagging sites at livestock markets, working with states on travel documents they could use as alternatives to the USDA's Interstate Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, and ensuring the identification requirements do not impede commerce.
Dr. Jim Logan, Wyoming's state veterinarian, said his state's agriculture department also has helped educate livestock owners and veterinarians, who have adapted fairly well. The state's livestock owners already had to maintain official identification on cows more than 1 year old as well as on any sexually intact cows living in the state's brucellosis surveillance area near Yellowstone National Park.
Some livestock market employees have had to spend more time to make sure cattle are adequately identified, but the burden of recording identification numbers on travel documents could be reduced through use of electronic tracking and health certification, Dr. Logan said.
"Maybe the biggest complication is that people are reading more into things than what is really there," he said. "I think it's really a fairly simple rule if people don't make more of it than what it is."
Dr. Tony Forshey, Ohio's state veterinarian, said he does not know of a state veterinarian who opposes the regulations. While he expects those who raise livestock ultimately will pay the added costs of identification, he expects it will help in an emergency.
"Everybody understands it, and everybody agrees with it—that it needs to happen—but nobody wants the expense and labor of doing it," he said. "It's just one of those changes that have come about as a result of disease outbreaks."
Ohio has spent millions of dollars on investigations following disease outbreaks, Dr. Forshey said. When the time taken for investigations and disease testing rise, so do the cost and risk that the disease will spread further, he said.
Dr. Sjeklocha expects some continued apprehension among farmers and ranchers over how deeply the federal government wants to become involved in their businesses.
"But I think, in the long run, we will benefit from animal disease traceability," he said.

GSoC Students!
I've just finished reviewing nearly a dozen patches and they were nearly all invalid, did not apply cleanly, or had other coding issues. This is very disappointing. I asked in an earlier e-mail to CHECK YOUR PATCHES. Everyone with a patch submitted needs to do this right away. Check ALL of your submissions to make sure they are correct.
It's a waste of time, your time and your mentor's time to have to review patches repeatedly when they have blatant problems. If you are not sure about something, you need to be asking questions. It's clear some of you have never made a patch file before. There are many many tutorials around the web on how to do this with an svn checkout very easily. Copy-pasted source code is not acceptable.
Check your patches submissions to make sure:
1) they are valid patch files, not copy-pasted text
2) you provide a brief description of what the patch does
3) you identify any other patches that must be applied first
4) your patch applies! "patch -p0 < yourpatchfile" should work
5) your code has proper headers/footers
6) your code conforms to our style, read HACKING
7) your code compiles!
Do NOT wait for someone to review your patch to tell you the problems. Check them yourself. Make it as easy as possible to review your patch submissions. If you do not have commit access, you must update or post a patch every day. Failure to do this is really not an option at this point.

"Required Reading"
Like many others, I want to understand how the United States got into the current mess in Afghanistan. This is the first book I've read that provides, in a truly in depth and objective manner. the always ignored back story. Anyone who cares to voice an opinion on future policy decisions in the Middle East should be familiar with this book. The author's objective presentation makes the story just that much harder to hear.
The author's cold blooded description of the myriad ways in which the United States was manipulated by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia for more than 20 years.
I have,and enjoy his narration. For some reason however, in the first half of this book, sentences were often clipped off at the end, giving the reading a sort of chopped off sound. This problem seemed to disappear in the second half of the book.
No. I actually spent more than 6 months listening to this book, mostly in the car, and I'm glad I took the time to go through it slowly. The tragedy builds slowly, piece by piece, until the eve of 9/11.
No book since a "Bright, Shining Lie" by Neil Sheehan has made a greater impression on me in terms of historical understanding.

Travellers seen pitched up by Tubbenden skate park in Orpington have now left, leaving behind a large amount of fly-tipped waste.
They arrived at the Tubbenden Lane park on Monday morning, and quickly caused concern for local residents.
A man, who did not want to be named, told News Shopper: "I am a little bit disturbed.
"These travellers have settled in Tubbenden Park. There are about 20 or 30 vehicles.
"I've already rung the council about it."
A council spokesman said: "We cannot tolerate these illegal incursions and in less than 24 hours, with support from the police, this latest traveller incursion has been dealt with.
"It is disgusting to record that there is now a large amount of fly-tipped waste at the site which needs to be removed and this will be done as quickly as possible."

220 circuit at home shop and arc welding
busbyturboDecember 26, 2005
Can a 220 electrical circuit in a home shop adequately supply an arc welder?
Pooh Bear
Depends on the size of the arc welder.
Depends on the size of the arc welder.
How many amps does the welder pull at full power.
How many amps is the circuit breaker rated for.
What size wire connects the breaker and the outlet.
A welder of any decent size is gonna need a beefed up electrical circuit.
Pooh Bear
I use mine on a circuit I pulled from a 30A breaker for the dryer or the electric range I think. The welder takes 16 A and welds with 1/8" electrodes. I wired the shop with a #8 cable. I paid ã50 for the welder in the UK. I've seen the same in a supermarket in France for â¬32. Made in Italy. It works perfect. I live in Canada now.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Deadwood Down Under
Massive mystery captures Victorian flavour
Can we ever really solve a mystery, given that investigators and witnesses alike view reality from their own, shifting, perspectives?
That's the question at the heart of this massive and impeccably written mystery set in a New Zealand gold rush town in the 1860s, the second novel by an Ontario-born New Zealander whose 2007 first novel, The Rehearsal, won or was shortlisted for an armful of prizes.
Not yet 30, Eleanor Catton has already been shortlisted for the Booker Prize for this novel, which combines a huge cast of characters with a tangled mystery and pitch-perfect period phrasing, set amid several layers of British Empire class and race.
The Luminaries is being hyped as Charles Dickens meets Deadwood, and there's something to that.
Catton brilliantly captures a Victorian voice throughout; one of the book's great pleasures is the series of elegant and sometimes arch Dickensian character sketches she uses to introduce each of her characters.
And her frontier gold rush setting -- with opium addicts, Chinese labourers, brothel owners and compromised figures of legal authority -- is like an antipodean version of HBO's Deadwood, which was set in that wild and lawless South Dakota town circa 1876.
As you try to keep track of all the characters and their many motivations, secrets, connections and misdirections you might think of a different HBO series. If, like the Baltimore cops in The Wire, you could cover the walls of an abandoned office with a web of names and evidence, you might just keep up with the plot of The Luminaries.
The novel begins on a stormy night, when Scottish would-be prospector Walter Moody stumbles into a secret meeting of 12 seemingly disparate men -- Chinese workers, wealthy businessmen, bureaucrats, a Maori hunter, a Jew, a Norwegian and a Frenchman -- in the town of Hokitika.
It transpires that the 12 have gathered to share their knowledge of a series of incidents in which each is in some way implicated: the death of a hermit-like prospector, the disappearance of a wealthy young prospector and investor, and the beating and drugging of a beautiful opium-addicted prostitute.
Adding to the complexity is an astrological framing device. Each of the 12 men is assigned an astrological sign or constellation (note that the word luminary, though usually used to mean "important person," originally meant a glowing celestial body). Each of seven suspects is assigned the role of a planet. And of course, the relative positions of constellations and planets are continually changing.
What this means for the storytelling of The Luminaries is that as we view the events of the novel from the perspectives of the various participants and observers, we get an ever-shifting understanding of events.
This point is underscored in a few important exchanges.
"You are wonderfully free with one verb, I notice," the scheming villainess, Lydia Wells, asks the legally trained Moody prior to a s©ance that serves as a major scene. "What does it mean for you, Mr. Moody, to know something? I fancy you put rather a lot of stock in knowing -- judging from the way you speak."
Moody answers her, somewhat naively: "I suppose that to know a thing is to see it from all sides."
Later, this theme is repeated by one of the 12 investigating townsmen, a clergyman named Devlin:
"If I have learned one thing from experience, it is this: never underestimate how extraordinarily difficult it is to understand a situation from another person's point of view."
It isn't always easy to keep track of all the points of view in The Luminaries, but the talent of its author is clear as daylight.
Winnipeg writer Bob Armstrong is a sucker for big novels and long-form television dramas.

The Practical Pitfalls of Research
By John Upledger, DO, OMM
Werner Heisenberg, best known as a founder of quantum mechanics, gave us the Uncertainty Principle, which took our comprehension of quantum physics a giant leap forward. We began to understand that we may often get what we're looking for.If an experiment is designed to measure particle mass and activities, that's what we get; if the experiment is designed to measure wave activity, that's what we get. If one scientist sees evidence that energy is particles, and a second scientist sees evidence that energy is waves, they might argue. Both would be correct, but the argument might continue ad nauseum.
Heisenberg also alluded to the idea that there is no such thing as a purely objective experiment. As soon as you begin to measure something, the energy of the observer may change the results. I'll share with you a few personal experiences that strongly support this concept.
In the late 1970s, I was conducting research at a center for autism in Michigan. At one point, I got the bright idea that autistic children have different energy fields than nonautistic children. I worked with my co-investigator, biophysicist Jon Vredevoogd, to bring in an arbor-type wooden structure in which a child could stand. We mounted 10 receiver electrodes in the arbor to serve as antennae. The signals they received were passed into a sensitive Keithley Electrometer that gave us a digital printout of the child's electrical field at any given moment.
As I suspected, the electrometer consistently measured higher electrical fields in autistic children than nonautistic children. After we had collected what appeared to be groundbreaking data, Jon took our apparatus to his basement laboratory. He wanted to measure the influence of natural versus synthetic fabrics on the electrical fields of those wearing them. His experiment worked according to his expectations: Synthetic clothing produced a higher electrometer reading than natural fabrics.
One night at about 10 p.m. Jon called me at home. He said he had news that invalidated our results. This upset me. I was sure we were on to something important. Jon went on to tell me that he could sit across the room from the electrometer and its electrodes, and change the printout of the electrical fields using only his mental intention. With practice, he was able to get the exact numerical printout he intended.
Skeptical, I immediately went to his house. I was unable to change the electrometer printout with my intention - but Jon could. I didn't want to be able to change the numbers, so I couldn't. I was convinced that autistic children had higher electrical energy fields than nonautistic children, so they did. Jon didn't have as clear a feeling about his fabrics; he got the results he sort of wanted, then was shown the truth. This was an educational experience for both of us.
Another series of lessons came from my experiments using Kirlian photography in the 1970s. At the time, there was an upsurge of interest in this type of photography, which captures energy emissions on a photographic film or plate. Kirlian enthusiasts would use these images to diagnose everything from cancer to schizophrenia. The assumption was that the corona - the energy emission recorded on the photograph - was relatively consistent for any given human subject, and coronal defects or abnormal patterns reflected disease states or conditions.
Skeptic that I am, I began to investigate, first by photographing the coronas of my patients' fingertips on the same film as my own. The process involved creating a time-controlled, electrical-potential field. I took the photos before and after each treatment session, or between each segment, if I used several modalities. The coronas depicted an apparent interchange of energies between myself and the patient. Frequently, on a first visit, the patient's corona was less dense and expansive than mine; posttreatment, my corona usually diminished, while the patient's corona was enhanced, suggesting some of my energy had transferred to the patient.
As the treatments progressed, the patient's corona sometimes appeared stronger than mine in the pretreatment photographs, while I showed a stronger corona posttreatment. This suggested that the patient energized me. Usually, about the time the treatment series was to be completed and the symptoms were resolved, both of our coronas strengthened. I began to accept these positive changes as indicators that the case was "solved." In this manner, I was using Kirlian photography as an indicator of progress.
I decided to photograph my students' fingertips before and after patient examinations, while I observed and graded the results. I found if I reflected a happy mood, the student's corona was strong. If I warned the student that this would be a tough exam, the corona weakened and reflected flaws similar to those interpreted as diseases by other investigators. If I told the student he or she did well and then re-photographed, the corona was strong again. Some investigators would have used this to indicate a "cure" for a previously diagnosed disease; to me, it suggested that anxiety or fear, no matter how transient, could be misinterpreted as a disease process on a Kirlian photograph.
I went on to test a wide range of variables for their ability to influence a Kirlian photograph. Among our observations: Strenuous exercise caused no significant change in coronas. One person's feelings of happiness toward another caused his or her coronas to blend, while feelings of anger left an empty space between coronas. Temperature differences caused variable corona changes. Acupuncture was used to relieve a toothache in one student, and menstrual cramps in another, and their coronas improved with pain relief. We even studied bloodflow, which caused no change in coronas.
We ended our research after more than a year, and presented our findings at an international Kirlian convention in New York. The results were not warmly received.
In any case, I learned that intention can change the reading on a Keithley Electrometer, while thoughts, moods, anxiety, temperature and pain relief can change a Kirlian photograph. Yes, Mr. Heisenberg, the observer does change the outcome. So, how do you put the observer in the equation, when he or she is an inconsistent factor?
Every session of CranioSacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release, Energy Cyst Release, and Therapeutic Imagery and Dialogue requires the therapist to blend with the patient. Moreover, each patient problem and method of treatment is unique. If you follow a standardized protocol, you will not get the same results as if you had blended with the patient and followed the steps provided by the patient's inner wisdom, which is integral to the practice of these therapies. Obviously, you cannot have a double-blind study if no two treatments are alike.
It seems to me that the only studies that can be done to validate the efficacy of such modalities are clinical outcome studies that do not dictate the protocol. The results obtained for given disease diagnoses could then be compared to the thousands of conventionally treated patients with similar diagnoses. To go beyond this in terms of control is to study something that is not CranioSacral Therapy.
I am biased, but I believe I have a right to be. I have worn the moccasins of the rigorous experimentalist. I spent three years as a teaching/research fellow in biochemistry. I spent eight and a half years as a clinician/researcher in biomechanics at Michigan State University. I served for five years on the American Osteopathic Association's Bureau of Research, and two years on the Alternative Medicine Program Advisory Council for the National Institutes of Health.
I have seen both sides, and have come to the conclusion that in health care, it's the outcome that counts, whether you understand the process or not. I have had people tell me I should not use a treatment protocol until I know how it works. My answer to them is to stop using gravity and electricity, until they understand how they work.

Obviously it is not installing properly.I take it the problem is with I/E.
Is there any way you can install it but save it to the computer without running it.
Then remove the old versions completely using Revo or whatever.Ten start in safe mode without networking and try and install it from there.
Took me about 5 weeks to fix it when I had the problem but that was a few years back.

The installation of Flash seems to survive the PC being turned off.
However BBC's iPlayer no longer recognises that it's there and shows a plain black rectangle where there should be the Play Logo. If I then re-download Flash, all is well again until the PC is, once again, turned off. Then it's back to square one.

When you have clicked and started Flash's Download, it asks you to close the Browser. When finished it says that you have successfully downloaded Flash.
I have tried Download & Save before loading. Again, all works until the PC is turned off. When the PC is rebooted, it's gone again!
However, at no point, since I deleted my original copy of Flash to update at Secunia's recommendation, has the Flash appeared in "All Programs" list under the Start Button

... patient with us. Also the fact we are from Australia and travelled such a long way impresses people.
Other aspects that impressed us was the efficiency of waitstaff. There's always table service and when the venue is busy the staff almost run from one task to the next.
