"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!

This chart contraddicts most common opinion and even -as pointed out by OJFL - the article's text.
It is hard to believe that the 10% poorest Americans run a better life than their Swiss counterparts, as much as seeing the spread of life standards in Sweden comparable to the America's.
It would be nice to see the algorithm behind these numbers; the first impression is that of an anglo-saxon bias of what a "better-life" is.

Major Section: EVENTS
Examples: (defdoc interp-section ":Doc-Section ...")whereGeneral Form: (defdoc name doc-string)
is a symbol or string to be documented and
is a documentation string (see doc-string). This
event adds the documentation string for symbol name
to the
data base. It may also be used to change the documentation
for name
if name
already has documentation. The difference
between this event and deflabel
is that, unlike deflabel
like table
), it does not mark the current history with the
. But like deflabel
, defdoc
events are never
considered redundant (see redundant-events).
See deflabel for a means of attaching a documentation string to
a name that marks the current history with that name. We now
elaborate further on how defdoc
may be useful in place of deflabel
It is usually sufficient to use deflabel
when you might be tempted
to use defdoc
. However, unlike deflabel
, defdoc
does not mark
the current history with name
. Thus, defdoc
is useful for
introducing the documentation for a defun
or deftheory
for example, several events before the function or theory is
actually defined.
For example, suppose you want to define a theory (using deftheory
You need to prove the lemmas in that theory before executing the
event. However, it is quite natural to define a
(see doc-string) whose name is the name of the
theory to be defined, and put the documentation for that theory's
lemmas into that :doc-section
. Defdoc
is ideal for this purpose,
since it can be used to introduce the :doc-section
, followed by the
lemmas referring to that :doc-section
, and finally concluded with a
event of the same name. If deflabel
were used
instead of defdoc
, for example, then the deftheory
event would
be disallowed because the name is already in use by the deflabel
We also imagine that some users will want to use defdoc
to insert
the documentation for a function under development. This defdoc
event would be followed by definitions of all the subroutines of
that function, followed in turn by the function definition itself.
Any time defdoc
is used to attach documentation to an
already-documented name, the name must not be attached to a new
. We make this requirement as a way of avoiding
loops in the documentation tree. When documentation is redefined, a
warning will be printed to the terminal.

What is diversity? In the sciences, it's the variety of interdisciplinary fields that we often combine to solve complex biomedical problems; it's the mathematician, biologist, neurologist and physicist working together. Diversity is also an array of human characteristics that differ among us and shape our experiences.
A current problem in today's biomedical work force is the underrepresentation of certain groups— namely minorities (such as African-Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Hispanic/Latino Americans and U.S. Pacific Islanders) and individuals with disabilities.
Figure 1 shows that there is a disparity in the proportion of underrepresented minorities (URMs) versus Caucasians in the sciences. While URMs represent approximately 29 percent of the U.S. demographic, they represent only approximately 4 percent of the National Institutes of Health R01 biomedical research grant holders. This same downward trajectory is not seen with Caucasians, whose representation is at or greater than parity at the noted levels. The underrepresentation in the sciences we see for URMs also holds true for individuals with disabilities: They represent 11 percent of the Bachelor of Science holders but only 1 percent of the population with scientific doctoral degrees.
You might wonder whether it really matters who is doing science as long as good science is being done. It does matter; research shows that diverse teams are better at solving complex problems (1). On homogeneous teams, unquestioned assumptions remain unquestioned, and everyone gets stuck in the same place. If we only listen to people who agree with us, we cease to grow. In the words of writer Walter Lippmann, "Where all men think alike, no one thinks very much."
Representation does not mean mere numbers or even a quota. It means having qualified individuals from various backgrounds, perspectives and influences to strengthen our ability to solve complex scientific problems. In doing this, diversity is not just a feel-good issue or simply the right thing to do; it benefits everyone through improved outcomes.

'39 Oppy Star Racer
21 posts
• Page 1 of 1
'39 Oppy Star RacerA new forum member and friend asked me to post a few photo's of his 1939 Oppy Star Racer or One Star Racer. I think you'll agree that it is spectacular.
Oh, WOW!!!
Is that paintwork original, or has it been resprayed? Decals look to be original, but so clean and shiny. And all that gleaming chrome! Where can I get some bars like those beauties? I'm gathering bits from the 50s era (sort of) to build up an old 40s road frame from Gerald Tate of Geelong into a retro single speed/fixie with a flip-flop hub, Mafac Racer brakes, Nervar (French) cranks and TA chainring. My bars will be standard Nitto Maes pattern, but I'll keep looking for some nice pista bars, or some wicked curly ones like those on the Oppy Star Lovely bike your friend has. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
'39 Oppy Star Racer.Thanks to Gary for posting the pictures for me.
The Story that came with the bike - I as yet have no proof is as follows. Malverns built two for publicity purposes this blue and a red one. They were taken around the country and 'demonstrated' by Opperman. The pair were sold at the end of the trip in Perth to one man. They remaind with him untill his estate was settled in the 80's. The red one I was told went to Queensland. It came to me in a dismantled state, the saddle,tyres chain and bar tape are new and the pedals came from AtoZ Cycles otherwise I believe the parts belong to it. Pleased if you enjoy it too. We need a Bicycle display facility in Melbourne perhaps this sight is it and it is a good one at that, thanks to the administrators.
nice rig indeed,
I was at Mercer Cycles in Perth y'day and they had a 2 star hanging up and it didnt have the bolt on rear stays, is that common or was there a range of 2 stars. By the way thanks to whoever mentioned the shop in a earlier thread, was worth a look. Cheers SP
akjhdsg; ihsdGNMFbh
Sorry ... just wiping the drool from my keyboard! Very nice Thanks for sharing ... Samma PS: If it is a repaint ... where does one find a talented painter to reproduce such artwork in Melbourne? I've seen a few places mentioned wrt restorations in other threads but would love to hear from anyone who can recommend a painter from experience via PM (don't want to hijack the thread). I have a frame I'm toying with the idea of having painted to reflect what I can make of the orginal paintjob underneath a hideous repainting
Very Nice!Absolutely beautiful...
Who did the repaint? Excellent work, whoever did it. One thing I don't understand with this period/type of bicycle, why the caliper brakes acting on the sidewalls BUT on a painted rim? Nice to look at but not after a few miles. Is it only because this was designed to be a show bike? Cheers Richard
I'll see that wow and raise one Oooohhh. Veloart at its finest.
Any chance of a closer look at the rear mech? Pleeeease. Shaun ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Thank you for posting the pictures.
I am also hanging out to know about the repaint. Did thy have these type of transparent decals in the 30s / 40s... I would have though that logos and art work would have all been hand painted back then.
You are very correct on this. My 'old' racer, built in 1981, has the Cecil Walker name, CW badges, my name and lug outlining and infill, all done by hand. Proir to a warranty respray it also had pinstriping similar to this Malvern Star, but sadly, they didn't replace it in the respray and I didn't push for it I'm still staggered at the idea that this beautiful paintwork could be original, but as it seems to have quite old style Malvern Star decals, it may well be. The guy who owned it for all those years must have kept it as a museum bike and not ridden it at all. The still-painted rims are the other pointer to this. Painted rims were mainly for track bikes - bikes with rim brakes need more friction on the rims. Paint is real slippery, then eventually will wear off if ridden, after awhile. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
hope that pickie works... its a '39 ish 3 star, things to note are the "patina" of un unrestored but extremly well looked after bike, note the colour of the chrome cranks, this is how you would expect old chrome to look. This bike has the correct MS font on the down tube for a bike of its age. Now the beautifull bike here is a one off so I dont know what the original down tube font was but Iwould assume it was the corporate standard for '38/'39, '38 bikes had large block letters nearly the full length of the down tube. So I would say a repaint, but I dont know if those particular decals are available again or if it was done whilst the factory was still a goer? not having a go its one of the best restored (or original ) ones Ive seen. Roger Ozpushies! for ALL Australian made bikes.
"It's only original once"
hmmmm, unfortunately I sold it to a local collector who stripped it and resold on ebay , by by one very original 3 star (the frame is with a more sensative collector now)
Roger Ozpushies! for ALL Australian made bikes.
"It's only original once"
'39 Oppy Star Racer.Sorry for the delay - in answer to the questions raised by the pictures.
Yes the bike was repainted about fifteen years ago - correct enamel, replication of line work and sinage. There are only two transfers - top tube and down tube, these are old stock correct water slide not PVC. I think it is important to try and use the paint of the period - Dulon looks ok but two packs make early bikes look plastic. You can also consider adding 'flattner' to the paint to knock some of the gloss off. Cyclomondo have a great range of Malvern transfers which if over sprayed with clear really do look the part. lloyds in the UK market correct water slide transfers for a range of European bikes too. Rims were most commonly painted pre WW11 and on roadsters up untill the 60's. Pre war chrome was an expensive extra. Yes calliper brakes do ware the paint off but remember bikes of this period mainly had only a rear brake or a pedal back. Also importantly brakes were not used like we do now as most of the roads were loose gravel or dirt. You will see pictures of even the Sun Tour on dirt roads in the late 50's. Pleased the machine caused some interest when I get up to ten postings I promis to list an original paint one. Cheers All.
Well it sure is a work of art, that's for sure. It's VERY hard to tell, but the hubs bear a striking resemblance to the much respected British Hub Co. 'Racelite' model. Racelites were, as far as I can tell, BH's first All Alloy, one piece hub. I have a couple of pair of these & am looking forward to using them in something worthy. A quick check of my 1939 Brown Bros. catalogue does not show that they offered Racelite hubs in 1939, their best offerings being the all steel 'Solite' & the three piece, high flange 'Continental' hub along with what became the perenial favourite, the Airlight. By 1952, the my Brown bros. Catalogue shows that the Solite was still on offer, as was that timeless favorite, the Airlight, & with growing popularity, the Continental, all three carried over unchanged from their pre war form. Unfortunately, there is still no mention of the Racelite, so I must conclude that it's introduction to the cycling scene must have been later than 1952. If this great machine is fitted with Racelights, & as I said, it's very hard to tell, then I would suggest that either the hubs, or even the whole wheelset have been changed at some time in its life. Hubs are the great dilemma for me when it comes to my '37 Carbine, but I will probably take the cowards way out & use Airlights. Carbine & SJH cycles, & Quicksilver BMX
Now that's AUSTRALIAN to the core.
'39 Oppy RacerHi kid Carbine.
Won't you limit you choices those pre WW11 rivited Airlights are hard to find. What about Bayliss/Wiley, BSA, Solite, Exceltoo,Chater Lea or the very nice Blomfield Duralite? Hopefull I have added a picture of a 1938 Carbine. Also Resilion first listed Racelite in their 1956 Calologue - where they about earlier or called something else? Cheers
'39 Oppy Racer.Sorry I was unsuccessful in adding the picture will try again.
'39 oppy Star racerCarbine 1938 with German Zeneth hub for you interest.

"Games of the Heart" to Unite Europe in Celebration of the Skills and Abilities of Athletes with Intellectual Disabilities
Speaking at the launch event President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy
Belgium, Brussels: Special Olympics, the world's largest sports organization for athletes with intellectual disabilities announced today that Antwerp, Belgium will be the host of the 2014 Special Olympics European Games.
Speaking at a press event near Brussels, President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy pledged his support for the success of the 2014 Games: "The European Council congratulates Belgium on becoming the host of the 2014 Special Olympics European Games. As well as being a great sporting event, these Games will bring public attention across Europe to the talents and capabilities of people with intellectual disabilities, helping to change attitudes and break down barriers that can exclude them from the mainstream of the community".
Taking place from September 13th – 20th 2014, the Games will attract more than 2,000 athletes from 58 nations to compete in eleven Olympic-type sports over 10 days of competitions. More than 40,000 spectators are expected to visit the competitions taking place in the same world-class venues which hosted the 2006 Belgium National Games, while 4,000 volunteers will be recruited to support all activities.
With free health screenings for athletes, a Youth Summit, Family Symposium and an art exhibition, the 2014 Games will also provide a venue for global discussions and action on the impact Special Olympics can have on the lives of people with intellectual disabilities.
More than 200 million people worldwide have an intellectual disability, making it the largest disability group worldwide. Intellectual disability crosses racial, ethnic, educational, social and economic lines and can occur in any family.

According to Mary Davis, Regional President of Special Olympics Europe Eurasia: "'Games of the Heart' is how we describe the 2014 Games as we invite communities to join our world of welcome – a world of inclusion and mutual respect, without bias or prejudice. I can't think of a better place than Antwerp, Belgium to host these Games where Europe will unite through Sports."
Along with the President of the European Council, Mr Herman Van Rompuy and Mary Davis, Regional President of Special Olympics Europe Eurasia, those who also spoke at today's launch event included: Mr Guido Kestens, Chairman of the 2014 Special Olympics European Games Organising Committee, Mr Dirk Verhofstadt, CEO of 2014 Special Olympics European Games Organizing Committee and athlete Ms Evy Ploegaerts, who helped design the logo for the 2014 Games, gave a special presentation on her idea behind the logo design.

Special Olympics European Games take place every two years and would not be possible without the generous support from our corporate partners. Antwerp 2014 follows in the footsteps of Warsaw, Poland hosts of the 2010 Special Olympics European Games and Athens, Greece which hosted the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games. The Games will be the largest multi-sport event for people with intellectual disabilities in 2014. Partners for the 2014 Special Olympics European Games to date include: SD Works, Start People, BBDO Proximity, Porter Novelli, Provincy of Antwerp and City of Antwerp.

Ultimate Paint and Body Guide Part 7 - Under The Gun
Written by Drew Hardin on April 25, 2007 Part 7: Taking Your Paint Project From Primer to Pigment.Finally, the moment of truth. All the steps we've covered so far in this series-metal prep and repair, panel alignment, shooting primer, and block-sanding-have led up to this: making your car-color dreams a reality. To help make that dream come true, we're approaching the subject of spraying color from a number of different angles. We spoke with several professional painters looking for insider tips. We collected information on how to choose the right spray gun and how to set up a gun to get the results you want. (I even took a painting class to bolster my neophyte spraying skills and discovered I'm way more Tim Conway than Junior Conway with a spray gun in my hand.)
Yet all the tips and insider scoop we can cram into these few pages won't help you as much as the next three words: Practice, practice, practice. It's one thing to read about spray technique, but it's a whole other deal to actually "shoot a single, flowing coat," as they taught us in class. When you're learning to paint, junk panels, walls covered with masking paper, and other targets that don't much matter are your friends. Perfect your gun handling off the car, and you'll like what you put on the car a whole lot better.
Also, don't be too ambitious with your first paint projects. Specialty products like flakes and candies are a lot tougher to get right than solid colors, and single-stage paint will require fewer passes with the gun than a basecoat/clearcoat combo. If you work your way into the more complicated finishes as you gain experience, you'll be far more satisfied with the process and your results.
How the Pros Do It
We talked to several painters-Tim Beard of Hot Rod Restorations, Dave Lane of FastLane Rod Shop, Brian Lynch from House of Kolor (HoK), John Morrow of Johns Customz & Performance (JCP), and Sears' Dan Swanson-about the steps they take when applying color. Here's what works for them.
The base: Most of our guys like to spray color on a ground coat that consists of a sealer or primer-sealer so the surface is as even as possible. According to Swanson, the primer-sealer also keeps sanding scratches from being pulled up by the later topcoats. All our painters recommended matching the ground coat to the color of the topcoat as closely as possible or you risk getting a variation on the color you want. Taking this a step further, Lynch said HoK sealers can be tinted and then used as a ground color, allowing you to skip the basecoat step. "But not all companies recommend clearcoating over sealer," he advised.
Keep it clean: Surfaces must be immaculate prior to painting or you risk contaminating the paint and ruining the job. Swanson likes to use soapy water, as "solvent-type final cleaners may not fully evaporate before you start painting and can leave some ugly rag marks." The rest of the group uses solvents, cleaners, or degreasers to get any residue off the car. Morrow has a helper wipe right behind him to keep the wax and grease remover from doing just what Swanson feared. Lint-free rags ("Is there really such a thing?" Swanson asked.) and tack rags keep fabric bits from the paint.
Gun choice: Most of our painters, even those not in air-quality-compliant areas, shoot with high volume/low pressure (HVLP) guns. (More on gun types below.) For some, it's a matter of law, but even those who have a choice like the way an HVLP gun reduces the amount of paint that's wasted as overspray.
Gravity-fed guns (with the paint cup on top) are preferred over the old-fashioned siphon type (with the cup under the gun) for several reasons. They're lighter, have a better balance, and the gravity feed means you can shoot until the cup is empty, something the siphon gun won't do. "Where the siphon guns come in handy, though, is when you're spraying an interior or hard-to-reach spot," Morrow noted. "The venturi effect in the cup feeds paint to the gun no matter what angle it's held at, even upside down. A gravity-feed gun won't do that."
Gun setup: Few of the pros could tell us specifics about how they set up their guns-fluid-tip sizes, air pressure going into the gun, things like that. They've been doing it for so long, they've developed a feel for the right settings to deliver the desired spray pattern. Or they stick so closely to one type of paint, they can set their guns once and leave them.
Some take Beard's approach, which is to have an assortment of guns, each set up for a different kind of paint. "I'm fortunate enough to have five, six guns with different tip sizes, and I can grab the one I like for a certain type of paint. I use a 1.3 [tip] for metallics and pearls, 1.3 or 1.5 for solids, 1.5 also for clear, and a 2.0 nozzle for primer. Different colors have different thicknesses; blacks are thicker because they have more solids." Beard paused. "It's easier for me to mix the paint, pick up the gun, and go. If I think about it too much, I screw it up."
When Beard does have to make adjustments, he minimizes his variables-he locks down his material flow and air pressure to predetermined settings and then alters his distance, speed, or pattern size.
How To Set Up A Spray Gun
The mix: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the use of catalysts or hardeners, Lynch said. "You don't want to mess with that ratio. Now, a reducer you can mess with, to vary the viscosity of the paint based on the conditions." Hot weather can thin the paint and speed up flow, so you'll want to use a different reducer or less reducer than on a cooler day.
Beard takes a different approach: "I use a midtemp reducer all the time, even when it's 100 degrees. That way if I have to do a spot repair in December, it won't change the color. I may have to work a little faster when it's hot, but different reducers have changed my colors."
Whole versus apart: Our guys were pretty evenly split between those who prefer to paint a car in pieces and those who paint the car assembled. Those who paint the car whole have developed a pattern, generally starting in one corner and working around the car to keep each coat consistent. Then they don't have to worry about "the dark spots that can happen when you stop and then start again in the same area," Lane said. Some painters start at the roof and work down, others tackle the roof when they reach the side of the car.
The most important tip for those who paint in pieces: part orientation. Position the parts as they will be seen on the car. Don't set doors horizontally on sawhorses, for example, or hang a hood vertically. "That way the paint lays down properly," Beard said.
How long a paint job takes depends on the results you're after. A collision repair shop tries to have a car in and out of paint in a matter of hours. The Impala repaint shown here took three days at JCP. When we spoke to Beard, he was preparing to shoot a street rod in candy, a process that will take him a week.
Fixing problems: Some issues-dirt or a bug in the paint, small runs-can be remedied with a light sanding and a reshoot, especially if the problems are in the basecoat. Minor imperfections in the clearcoat can often be wet-sanded out. "Now, if you're four coats into a candy job, there's no margin for error, no way out," Beard said. If there's a flub, "you stop and re-base it. I've had to do that." Fixes can be similarly difficult in other specialty coatings, which is one of the reasons they're not recommended for novice painters.
Gun Shopping
The first step in buying a paint spray gun is to determine if you have to use HVLP due to air-quality regulations in your area or whether HVLP would be just one of several choices open to you. Many on our panel of painters use HVLP guns because of their transfer efficiency-the amount of paint that actually sticks to the surface versus paint wasted as overspray. But if you're a painter in a noncompliant area, there are other options.
Reduced pressure (RP) guns are becoming a popular alternative to HVLP because they offer HVLP-like transfer efficiency but at pressure levels that are just slightly lower than a conventional high-pressure gun, said John Sloane of the Eastwood Co. So if you're used to spraying with a conventional gun, the switch to RP wouldn't be as radical as changing to HVLP. And then there are low volume/low pressure (LVLP) guns. These "make more efficient use of the air supply to them," Sloane said, so they don't require quite as much compressor capacity as an HVLP gun, which makes the whole setup a little more affordable for the hobbyist.
What can you expect to pay for a gun? Eastwood offers "economy" guns for less than $60, while a high-end gun like a German Sata can fetch $700 or more. For that much dough you get "a gun with better feel, a little nicer balance, more careful machining, and probably better durability," Sloane said. "Expensive guns go through more rigorous quality control to ensure more consistent quality for each gun. If you spray day in and day out, I would encourage a higher-end gun. Not only will it feel better in the hand, it will atomize better and transfer efficiencies will be better."
Buy a gun from a supplier that supports the product warranty-wise and can get parts for you if needed, Sloane said. "Usually, if you stick with a known name-DeVilbiss, Binks, Sharpe-you'll be getting a better quality gun than a generic or unlabeled kind of gun." Sloane believes the "ultimate judge of the gun is its ability to apply a smooth finish to the surface. Minimal orange peel is the goal, and effective transfer efficiency is important. The high-pressure guns of 20 years ago wasted as much as three-quarters of the paint that went through them as overspray. HVLP technology dramatically reduced that."
One other tip: Be careful not to over-accessorize a gun. "According to our DeVilbiss rep, the biggest factor that decreases HVLP gun performance is loading it up with accessories-a regulator, moisture filter, restrictive quick disconnects," Sloane said. "Anything you do that restricts the free flow of air to the gun will have a dramatic effect on the gun's performance. A high-pressure gun is more tolerant of these accessories, but with a low-pressure gun, a few psi difference at the inlet will make a big difference in quality."

How To Clean the Spray Gun
Training DaysSeveral paint manufacturers offer classes to keep refinish professionals up-to-date on new products and techniques. But where do you go if you're a dedicated hobbyist looking to brush up on your skills? House of Kolor offers several seminars on how to use its products; one-day orientation and two-day basic classes are open to the public.
We took a basic class at HoK's Dallas training facility and found it to be a screaming deal. You get intensive yet informal (sounds weird, but it works) classroom instruction on a variety of subjects, from paint types and terms to more in-depth topics like how the human eye sees metalflake suspended in paint. Much of the information deals with HoK's products and how they differ from the competition's, but since a HoK custom paint job builds to a higher mil thickness than a collision-repair-based repaint, you need this info to use the HoK products properly.
The two-day class also offers lots of hands-on gun time. In addition to in-booth demonstrations of spraying techniques, students are given a mailbox to refinish in any way they choose. Why a mailbox? Its steel construction has to be scuffed, primered, and finished, just like automotive sheetmetal, and it has curved surfaces to work around, just like a fender. It's smaller and easier to handle than a fullsize car body part, but it's still big enough to accommodate flames, scallops, and other graphics and special effects.
Pass the two-day class and you're eligible to take HoK's four-day advanced course, which is aimed at helping professional shooters expertly use the company's full range of specialty paints. "We'll also spend time duplicating any problems the painters might be having so we can solve them or teach them how to avoid having the trouble in the first place," said Brian Lynch , HoK's training manager.
Best of all, these classes are ridiculously inexpensive. The orientation class is $50, the basic is $100, and the advanced is $500. Those prices include lodging for each day of the class, most meals, all the paint materials, and safety equipment. Yes, HoK is losing money on these things, so sign up now before Lynch comes to his senses and starts charging what they're really worth.

Whatever is the issue about the citizenship of Myanmar , why should people living in Burma be subject to Genocide.
Common guys who support Myanmers Govt backed torture of Rohingus, you are killing people whether they are muslims or not and importantly unarmed.
People get enriched with education and becomes more tolerant but look at the civil society of Myanmar and the Noble peace prize winner Aung San Suu Kyinot not to mention the unsofisticated Myanmar Armies, how they are reacting to the Genocide !!! they are indirectly supporting the murders of innocent unarmed Royinga women and children !
Unbelievable to think how savageous these people can be to ignor the mass killing.
Rohinga Muslim will become future terrorist is their lame excuse to justify the killing ? I don't think so !
Even the animals in the Jungle don't kill their own species the way Rakhines are killing the Rohingus ! backed by the Govt. Shameful !and disgraceful . The muslim countries only doesn't have the responsibility to save these Rohinga women and children, but it is the duty of the civilized world to protect them.I would expect UN to protest the Genocide and declare Myanmer as a illegal country if they don't apologize for the Genocide and compensate for the damage they have doen to the Rohingus.

Purple Or Pink Traditional Pendants
These Pendant Light Fixtures can really improve your home and upgrade your space. With a little magic from LampsUSA, you can quickly choose the right pendant light fixture and be confident in your selection. Pendants traditionally hang over dining tables or in an entryway as sleek alternatives to bulky chandeliers. Pendant Lights are typically single-stem, compact hanging lights, usually 8" to 30" wide. (If you are looking for narrower lights, try browsing our Mini-Pendant Collection.)
Pendant lights provide a good mix of ambient light, to illuminate your entire room, plus most give great downward light for tasks like eating, food preparation and reading. You can use Pendant lights in your dining room, breakfast nook, entryway and foyers. Designers love pendant light fixtures because they fit into today's lifestyle. Pendants also give you many new style choices because of the the wide variety of materials like glass, fabric, and laser-cut metal.
Because pendants are a personal lighting fixture, it is important to find a reputable manufacturer.
You might choose a pendant for your room rather than a larger chandelier if you want a narrower fixture, or if you want to get adventurous with your style choice.
Pendant lighting provides more than light to your room. Decorative pendant lights are visually attractive and the right light fixture can make a significant impact on any room. Lamps USA offers pendant lights for kitchens, dining rooms, foyers, bars, and other areas of your home. We are proud to bring our customers high quality pendant light fixtures at very low discount prices.
Pendant light fixtures provide a stylish alternative to oversized chandeliers and take up less visual space than a larger light fixture. The compact, sleek design is perfect for any area where you need additional lighting and the smaller style makes them preferable for many homeowners, compared to chandeliers and other larger lighting fixtures.
Although pendant lighting is a very popular trend for kitchens, this type of lighting is great for any open space or area where overhead lighting is needed. Pendant light fixtures look terrific over a kitchen counter, island, bar, in a bedroom or over a conference table or work table at your business. We have beautiful pendant lights to add style to your home or office.
The first step is to determine the number of pendant lights you need to help you select the right lighting for your home. For example, if you are placing the lights over a long counter, island, or bar, you may want three or more fixtures to provide the light you need. Selecting a sleek design that will look great when placed in a row is important when several pendant light fixtures will be used together.
Consider the style of your home and decor of the room where pendant lighting will be installed. Are you looking for something to work with your existing decor or do you plan to remodel or redecorate the room? Your pendant light fixture will be a centerpiece in the room and changing your lighting is a fast and inexpensive way to give a lift to any room.
Please browse our website to find an extensive selection of pendant light fixtures at prices that will fit every budget. Take some time to view the entire category or see our pendant lighting by style, color, brand or price to find the right light fixtures for your home.

Guest blogger and breast cancer survivor MaryEllen Sheppard is our writer this week. She's graciously allowed others to share in her journey.
A video series about her experience, "MaryEllen's Journey — A 5-part breast cancer video series from Mayo Clinic," can be found on the Resources tab on this page. The following is her perspective:
"Living with cancer." I'm struggling with what to write because, fortunately, the phrase doesn't apply to me. My heart and prayers go out to you for whom the words do apply. However, I had cancer. I'm not living with it today. In my mind, there's a huge difference between the two.
Today, after successful surgery and treatment, I get to drop the "with cancer" part and just focus on the "living" part of the equation. Not only do I get to change the focus, I believe I must change it if I'm going to have the kind of future I expect for my family and myself.
Don't get me wrong, cancer's presence is evident. When I look at my chest I see the changes in breast contour and firmness resulting from the lumpectomy and radiation. I see reddened skin from an allergic reaction to surgical tape. The scars from surgery and the placement of a port, although better each day, still seem almost angry in comparison to my pale chest.
This visual reminds me of any number of brick walls marked with graffiti signifying which gangs have laid their claim. Only in my case the territory invaded was my chest and the words tagged and left behind read, "Cancer was here."
What is important, however, is while the evidence is indisputable that cancer claimed its territory in my body, because of the medical expertise of Mayo Clinic and the larger medical community, it didn't claim my life. Equally important, due to the compassion shown by so many, many people, cancer also failed to claim my joyful spirit.
I had cancer. However, like other major challenges I've faced, I'm choosing to learn from the experience and make changes based upon the lessons learned. I'm holding on dearly to the belief this is my life and cancer can't have any more of it. I'm surrounding myself with friends and family. I'm exercising and eating right. I'm doing my best to ensure there is no more territory ripe for the taking. In other words, I'm not living with cancer ... I'm living!

my mother age is 66.she is having breast cancer 4stage. doctr recmend for chemo but she is not ready for chemo.so mother take ayurvedic medicin from himachl (meclodgnj)so please tell the full diet chart
Reading all the commentsit gives me great comfort and encouragement to continue my treatment. I have completed my 8 rounds of chemo (including 4 rounds of Taxol), taking herceptin for a year and is about to do radiation. Believing and trusing in God have strengthened my faith to go on and I consider myself a Survivor.
This is my second time around with breast cancer. I had it in '94 and was free for 17 years. Now it is back in both breasts and I had to have a bilateral masectomy. I had 3l days of radiation and am currently struggling with tightness in the chest and a seroma left by the radiation. I am not joyful I am angry and frustated that it came back. I can't seem to move on as I did before in '94. I also have lymphedema in the chest area and I am seeing a Physical therapist for that now. I hate the tight feeling across the chest and nothing seems to help relief it. I tried ice, heat, NSAIDS, PT, and exercises.
Like Mary Ellen, I was a stage two, no node involvement triple negative patient. Because I am participating in a clinical trial, I was involved in neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment (makes total sense to me, as the tumor's response to chemo can be tracked), and my 3cm tumor disappeared after five rounds of chemo. However, unlike Mary Ellen, I am finishing up the last of 16 rounds on Tuesday of next week. A lumpectomy follows in early July followed by radiation. Like Mary Ellen I feel very good about my treatment, chances of long-term survival, and look forward to resuming life as I once knew it, though I know it'll be awhile before that fully happens. I refuse to live in fear and "give in" to cancer. I face forward, not backwards!
I, too, am a breast cancer survivor/thriver. My diagnosis 2 years ago came initially as stage 4. I am truly blessed to have achieved remission and even now approaching a second remission, thanks to my brilliant oncologist and much lifestyle remodeling. I am here to tell you that this disease is not hopeless and you are not helpless. I blog at help your own healing.com - all one word - and hope I can help everyone else the way I have been helped. I thank the Mayo Clinic for the wonderful resource material and this encouraging blog. We all need as much encouragement as we can get with this and other serious diseases. For Erin and others like her who are young and facing stage 4 mets, you must remind yourself that there is so much research coming to fruition today, new treatments every year and we are at the point, I believe, where the disease stats are changing and long term survival at any stage is possible. Believe and do, and if your doctor does not think this is possible like my first doctor didn't, get another one who does. You can do it as scary as it seems right now. Live and thrive, not merely survive. My best wishes to everyone.
I am so glad I went to this site, as "living" is what I am trying to focus on. I had two surgeries on my left breast in October 2010 and was done with radiation by the New Year! I thank God everyday and the people who helped me. However, I am still afraid, and again "living" made me focus today. Thank you ALL
It give me pleasure to be able to post a comment on this site. I am a 45 year survivor. Treatment was quite different in 1966 than today, and by all accounts I probably should not have survived, but I had a wonderful doctor who did a radical mastectomy and a simple mastectomy two years later. That was it. No chemo, no radiation, and actually only a yearly followup after that. I believe I was blessed because I knew so little, that I just believed I was cured. I thanked my doctor and God and went on with life. I too carry my battle scars, but I never let them slow my life. Even at 80 I still do Aqua Areobic (I make my own swimsuits)enjoy my time with my son and grandchildren and life is good. Just think about how much more is known about treatment today. I send each and everyone of you my prayers, and believe you too will be a survivor.
I deeply appreciated reading Mary Ellen's "testimony".I can identify completly as I too am no longer living with cancer, but simply living. I have the battle scars to prove I was in a battle,(the exact same scars that she mentioned) but they only serve to make me more grateful that I won the fight.I thank and praise God for healing virtue in my body and for all my wonderful doctors and nurses at Montefiore North in the Bronx, New York. I am blessed and I am grateful for my "testimony".
i was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. i have some fears and anxiety about treatment, poss incl surgery, chemo or radiation. i appreciated reading each ladies' comments on how she is dealing with her cancer and its effects on her mind, body and spirit. thank you for sharing, you encouraged me, Lani-typed by daughter michelle
I to live my life each day to the fullest. I had a lumpectomy, chemo, and radation. I beleive with everything in my body that the Lord has healed me. I received my diagnosis in 2008 and I am blessed, as of today I am cancer free. I to struggle with the changes that chemo and radation left on my body. I have to remind myself each day the scares that our Lord and savior Jesus suffered on the cross for all of our sins. I try to be a blessing each day and be happy facing the world with a smile and the joy that is giving me. My advice to anyone going thru treatment is to let go and let God be your healer. Cancer is a terrible disease but we can survive it with the help of a good support system and the love of God.
Erin - hope you are still checking in on this blog - I too had breast cancer initially in 2007, lumpectomy, chemo & radiation and still the cancer returned to the bones in my spine (and pelvis) 3 years later. Do not blame yourself or think you were foolish to believe the doc. They don't know everything! No one fully understands this disease, be it breast cancer or another form. I am considerably older than you, 58 at first diagnosis so my heart goes out to you having to deal with this at such a tender age. All best.
I am new to your group but look forward to being part, I was first told i had breast cancer at 27yrs and following a bilateral mastectomy was told by my dr that I was cured no need to follow-up folish me. Now here i am at 34 the cancer is back and has moved to the bones in my spine. My new dr says I am responding well to treatment as my tumor markers keep dropping but the spread to my spine scares me. Any words of wisdom that might help.This latest diagnosis came in october of this past year so my current battle hasen't been going on for that long yet. Thank you.
kat, I do understand how you feel.I can't say having breast cancer is a blessing either.I have been dealing with faith issues because lots of bad things happen to good people.The positive is I really don't care about small issues anymore and I am going to have fun.I am leaving for some warm weather since my treatments are done now. I really hope things get better for you.
Thank you so much for this blog. I had a mastectomy on February 17, 2011 after being diagnosed with Paget's disease - a rare form of breast cancer. I'm doing pretty well physically and emotionally too but there are days when I'm so fearful. I have a strong support system in terms of my family- my mother is a breast cancer SURVIVOR and THRIVER for more than ten years. She is my hero and my help.
I'm a little over a year post treatment and soon to be two years out from my diagnosis. I'm doing pretty well physically and emotionally although I will never be the same. What I never hear from others is the irritation I feel when people talk about the blessings and positive things that came from having had cancer. To me this is "happy horse****!" There is nothing positive about having cancer. I do not have a day without discomfort (pain in my breast and arm from the lymph node dissection that research is now telling us is unnecessary and peripheral neuropathy in my feet) , my sex life is virtually gone, and I have a decided lack of energy. I can and DO cope but spare me the "I'm better for it" speeches.
Today I am so very tired of not just fighting cancer but of having to be oh so positive in the face of it all. I am just so tired of all of this, and now feel guilty for being tired of all of it.
Sorry everyone...you can tell I am a rookie blogger (and too wordy) however here is what was cut off in my first post: Kris, with respect to your question about what I consider to be my "cancerversary" date (great term!), my understanding is survival rates are considered from the date of diagnosis. However, my oncologist first used the term "survivor" once my treatment was finished. So, that is the point where I feel comfortable calling myself a survivor. However, honestly, my personal goal is to not pay too much attention to either. Why? I really need to work on being present today. I am afraid if I focus too much on past issues or future milestones, I will replay my life much as it was before cancer, i.e., reliving past difficulties and worrying about and/or waiting for future events that may or may not occur. Ultimately missing the gift of today. If I pay too much attention to the term "survivor" I feel I risk that becoming the primary focus for who I am or how I am perceived. Instead, I kind of like "MaryEllen, totally amazing mother, wife, grandmother and friend!" Ok, ok...I may have some more work to do to earn these labels, however, they fit better with what truly is important to me and what I aspire to be...now more than ever. Thanks all for being here. MaryEllen
To each and every one of you, I offer my genuine thanks for reaching out to others and me through your comments. As I read your remarks, I am reminded how important it is to acknowledge the fact everyone's cancer journey is unique and must be understood as such. We are done such a disservice when we are lumped together in terms of experiences; no two are exactly the same just like no two of us are the same. We may share a diagnosis in common, we may share a fight for life in common, however, the weapons, the reinforcements, the support and the power of the enemy facing us are unique to our own battlefield and our own bodies. The challenges of your cancer diagnosis and treatment are not mine and vice versa. As I reach out in a global way my prayer is that I do not minimize your experience with my comments; rather that I value the differences while providing a sense of camaraderie and support. Cheryl, you questioned how long ago I was diagnosed. I was diagnosed in November 2009 with Stage 2 Triple Negative Breast Cancer with no node involvement. I had six rounds of chemotherapy followed by radiation. My last treatment was the end of June 2010. As of this writing I am eight months post treatment. It is hard to believe. Kris, with respect to your question about what I consider to be my "cancerversary" date (great term!), my understanding is survival rates are considered from the date of diagnosis. However, my oncologist first used the term "survivor" once my treatment was fini
I had a modified radical mastectomy at Mayo in 1988 for stage 3 breast cancer. I had some problems with chemo brain for a while, especially rage and depression, but fortunately my OB-GYN at home was able to help me with Prozac, on which I have remained for most of the 22+ years since then. I have been blessed with two grandchildren, retirement, and the opportunity to care for my mother during the last 10 years of her life. Life is full and I am so blessed. Thank you, God, and thank you, Mayo Clinic!
Thank you for this Mary Ellen. We share the exact procedures and I wear the scares proudly. I am almost 4 years clear and am now retired. I think I approach life in more detail and less hurry. I agree that whatever comes my way, I am cared for. Bless you and all the others who have responded or will respond.
I'm entering my 2nd year after dealing with breast cancer. I was very fortunate with a stage 1 with only speckleing in the direct lymph nodes. I have learned to enjoy &appreciate every day and strongly believe that God is taking care of me with what ever is in my future. I still "wonder at times" if & when but keep saying God is handling everything.
like deanne .it is hard to say cancer free.7yrs ago i had vocal cancer 6yrs ago thyroid removed. suspect. 3 yr had dbl breast 2 different kinds both invasive. radiation and cemo done 2 yrs no problem .Getting through easier then now .Im very busy and going on with my life but its always there where next ?? Sometimes its hard living with cancer.
I want to share this poem based on my working with kids with cancer and which explains why I consider my stage IV metastatic cancer the greatest gift I have ever received! my angels terminally ill we walk together only they are innocent and pure our fun together my small gift through their joy my atonement their gift to me is love unconditional approach the ward a deep breath quick prayer now slowly i enter one is awake his face racked with pain i greet him and am seen a suffering face now smiles through their love i have been transformed to these young kids i am an angel dear God i have become a better man
Our will to embrace life even in the face of cancer is astounding. I surprise myself every day with my strength facing Stage IV metastatic breast cancer to the bones. I agree we are in a new category and sometimes I feel like one of the untouchables...To anyone who enjoys reading, please find a copy of "The Red Devil" by Katherine Russell Rich. Published 1999. I had to buy used on bn.com. What a uplifting read. "Cancer reconfigures body and mind". This book helped me find a few new ways to cope.
I always think it's wonderful to hear someone say they are cancer free. I wish all those who are diagnosed and treated could eventually utter those words. Sheryl has the best attitude- to concentrate on living. However, there is a very real distinction between living, living cancer free after successful treatment, and living with cancer having had treatment. I had a mastectomy, was declared cancer free after my post operative pathology ( in fact, I was told I probably never had cancer!), only to learn three years later that the breast cancer had metastasized to my stomach lining. I had chemotherapy and am very fortunate to be responding to adjuvant therapy, and believe me when I say I am very much concentrating on living with cancer. I feel well, have good energy and am living my life to my fullest because I know it is compressed. I agree with Mary that a patient is in a totally different category when he/she is declared cancer free. The former has a cloud that always lingers and affects all decisions while the latter allows one to resume a much lighter attitude toward the remainder of his/her life. Perhaps someday all those diagnosed will be able to refer to their journey in the past tense, but until science finds the cure, many of us still have to use the present tense- and that comes with many challenges. Good wishes to all those continuing to live with cancer. Deanne
Thank you Sheryl for writing this, I particularly like "I'm holding on dearly to the belief this is my life and cancer can't have any more of it." Right on.
Really. If we are truly cancer free why can I no longer donate blood? No one will want my organs. Why do I need check ups more than my friends who never had cancer? Can I get an affordable life insurance policy or how about health insurance that does not have an astronomical price? Hate to be a party pooper, but we are in a different category now.
That's the way, inspirational. I am only 2 months on from completion of treatment but what you are saying makes sense, even though at the moment I am coming to terms with what has been such a journey. You didn't say how long ago, but I hope to reach your inspiring way of life very soon. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Mary, Your thoughts are true. I have recently finished chemo but once officially cancer free April 2010 (thanks to a bilateral mastectomy).. I am wondering what I celebrate as my cancerversary, the date I was cancer free or the date I finished chemo... what are your thoughts?
Mary Ellen, I agree with you 100% when you no longer have the cancer, you are not living with it at least I think. Im so glad to see somone else say that, Bless you and all suvivors I am pround to say I am 13 years cancer free today.

The BartPE Rescue CD runs independent from the hard drive. So if the hard drive fails or the operating system will not
start you can still run the Rescue CD. With the Rescue CD you can recover deleted files, remove malicious software, recover from a failed operating system, and more. The Rescue CD is built using the Windows pre-installation files from a Windows setup disk. If you do not have the Windows disk you should have an i386 folder on your hard drive that contains the Windows setup files. What else is nice about the BartPE is that you can customize and add any number of additional features for what ever the task might need. This make it an invaluable tech tool to have handy when the need arises to fix or correct a Windows issue. Since over 90% of all the computer issues involve Windows the BartPE disk will certainly become more valuable in time.
The utility for creating the BartPE is at the www.nu2.nu/pebuilder site. You will also find a large number of plugins that have been created to add new features. You can also create you own plugins to add even more features. This is a fun project that will help to give you more insights to the computer and what it takes to keep it running a peak performance.
Other Rescue CD's include the Linux operating system. These are what is called live CD's because they run, like BartPE, from a CD and are independent of the hard drive. There are many distributions available and one of my favorites is Slax because you can also customize it to include additional features. Some good free Rescue CD's that will remove malicious software a available at AVG, Avira, F-Secure, and Bit Defender. One of these CD's is also a must to have on the ready.
I maintain a lab of 35 plus computers and need to image and restore the operating systems daily. I have found using GParted, free Open Source software, a valuable utility. GParted is a Partition Magic Linux clone that is also available on most the Linux distributions and can create and re-size partitions very quickly. Partimage, free Open Source software, is a valuable imaging utility and runs like Norton Ghost.
The Open Source software available to the community has almost anything you can image. Most of the software is excellent and could be worth hundreds of dollars on the commercial market. These Open Source developers have a love for technology and beleive that most of it should be free. The BartPE is only one example of many Open Source products that I enjoy using on a daily basis to keep my lab running at peak performance.
