Sealer on Head Gaskets
I am about to install iron vortec heads on my 350 using Felpro 7733PT2 gaskets.
Do I need to apply sealer to these? The general instructions that were included say to install fiber faced head gaskets dry but how do I know if these are fiber faced?! They're blue, so is the blue material the fiber coating?
Does block deck surface finish dictate the need for sealer regardless of gasket type?
I have Permatex Copper Hi-Temp Sealant in case I do need to use it.
Blue Fel Pro gaskets go on dry man. Can you see metal underneath? Around the cylinders? if so the blue will melt down under heat and seal off.

Renee Richards still amazed she broke transgender taboo
By Steve Ginsburg
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than three decades after putting down her tennis racquet, Renee Richards is still astonished she had the moxie to join the women's professional tour after living the first 34 years of her life as a man.
For all the frenzy around Olympian Bruce Jenner's reported decision to transition to a woman, the transgender pioneer Richards, born Richard Raskind, believes nothing could be tougher than what she endured in the 1970s.
"How could I have actually gone out there in front of thousands of people as this notorious transsexual and compete against young women?" Richards, 80, told Reuters by phone from New York state.
"I didn't know whether I was going to be shot at, or whether I was just going to be yelled at."
Jenner, 65, was once considered the world's greatest athlete after winning the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics. That same year Richards says she was "outed" for her sex change, a revelation that reverberated, and not just through the sports world.
Richards laughs about reports she is counseling Jenner. "It's not true," she said. "That's insane. It would be preposterous for me to say anything to him."
Jenner's transition would make him the most high-profile American to come out as transgender, a boon to the community's increasingly visible fight for equality and acceptance. A reality star via the Kardashian family's TV series, he has not publicly commented on his plans.
But Richards believes that, with no chance to begin his new life privately, Jenner will have a challenging time. Continued...

U2, Sting and Cage the Elephant to Play the 2016 iHeartRadio Festival
The lineup for the sixth annual iHeartRadio Festival has been announced.
The lineup for the sixth annual iHeartRadio Festival has been announced.
December promises a handful of records that could potentially shake up your year-end review.
In a recent interview with Fender, Cage the Elephant guitarist Brad Shultz discussed everything from his preferred guitars to his rock heroes.
Finishing their two-night stint at Brooklyn's Barclays Center last night (Sept. 24), the Black Keys went all-out to make sure their New York City fans received an unforgettable show.
It may seem easy to lump Cage the Elephant in with the rest of the radio-rock world, but with their third album, 'Melophobia,' it's clear they're not expecting to be lumped in with anyone.
Cage the Elephant have unleashed an unofficial video for their 'Thank You, Happy Birthday' track 'Always Something.' In the clip, the rockers from Kentucky give behind-the-scenes glimpses of what it's like for them being on tour, as they travel across the country to perform for fans at live gigs.

text: New to the forum and have already learned a lot!!! Been lurking for a few months. I finally got rid of my last 1911 and have become a Glock junkie. I have recently purchased a 19 and 17, but I am absolutely fascinated with the 357Sig. I am strongly considering buying a couple barrel conversions, so the question is this. I see how easy and effective it is to go 40 to 357, but what about going 9 to 357??? Looks as simple as buying the barrel and mags? What am I missing since I can't seem to find much if any written about going 9 to 357? Thanx in advance for any tips, tricks and advice?

Great Apartment in a Great Location
We have stayed in Calis for the last six years for our annual holidays. Without doubt this apartment is in the best location as well as being very well equipped and clean. The cleaner came in after the first week replaced towels and bedding and Ugur who looks after the property was very helpful . There were eight of us staying in the apartment and we did not feel that we were on top of each other. Lukka bar next door was very handy for late night refreshments and snacks .
Overall a great holiday was had by everyone
Brilliant holiday
We stayed at this apartment for a month and it was wonderful, it is spacious clean and in a prime location. You are close to the beach, shops and bars and the food is great, we had good food at the Oben and Timeout.Everyone is so friendly and helpful. We had a couple of issues which were put right straight away, the gardener is so helpful as is the manager Ugur she is wonderful. I would stay there again in a heartbeat
Great location
This was a great apartment for our first stay in Turkey - beach on one side and pool on the other and being ground floor very easy to reach both in 2 mins. The apartment is spacious (fourth bedroom a single) with plenty of bathrooms, and the terrace is a lovely place to eat breakfast/lunch and watch the world go by. It was very hot during our stay but he air con is efficient and quiet and the bedrooms on the lower floor are cooler anyway and the wifi worked well. The owner Chris is really helpful about booking airport transfers and other advice and there is also a good management team at the development if needed. There is plenty to do in the area if you want a break from the beach and the locals are friendly and eating out and trips are very good value - you don't need to hire a car which helps the holiday budget too. All in all a very good stay and a recommended apartment with lots to offer in a beautiful part of Turkey where you feel safe and welcome.
Worth Every Penny
I have been to this apartment numerous times with friends and will definitely return. It is modern, spacious, well equipped, clean and well maintained. The is location is perfect opposite the beach with open views of the bay. There are countless high standard restaurants within easy walking distance along the attractive promenade overlooking the beach. Transport to other attractions in the area is easy on the local bus or taxi but the water taxi is a must to Fethyie which is a busy harbour town with traditional markets, fantastic shops and high quality restaurants to suit all tastes. There is something for everyone. I have recommended this property to friends and family and will continue to do so, well worth a visit.
Activity and Interests
Saros is located directly on the idyllic Calis beach, considered to be the most picturesque point along the coastline and is also famous for some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Calis Beach stretches for 4km with a variety of hotels, bars and first class restaurants on the beach front within strolling distance, offering fine cuisine and stunning views. The bustling historic town of Fethiye is a 5 minute drive or water taxi ride with much to see and do.
The apartment is conveniently situated only 45 minutes from Dalaman airport. The apartment is so well located that car hire is not necessary though those wishing to explore this stunning region of Lycia will find cars easy and cheap to hire and roads are excellent. A car park at the apartments makes car parking easy for all.
Calis beach boasts a wealth of restaurants, bars and shops just a few minutes walk along the seafront from the apartment. The beach is quite literally a stone's throw away!
Fethiye, a traditional market town is a 15 minute Dolmus ride along the coast road, or guests can use a watertaxi from Calis to Fethiye.
The region has many places of interest to visit, including the fascinating "ghost town" of Kayakôy, the incredible gorge at Saklikent and the famous beach and blue lagoon of Olu Deniz.

Lily Goodwill, the vamp with a heart of gold, gets a disturbing call on the Suicide Prevention Hotline. A hysterical caller is convinced a werewolf is breaking into his house. Lily dispatches the appropriate services, convinced that "someone is off their meds". If only that were true.
Soon enough, Lily is fighting for her life against a hairy beastie. She is supported by her almost-fiancee, the brooding French vampire Sebastian, who adores the ground she walks on, and Aidan, the 5,000-year-old vampire-hunting jinni, who scarfs energy for breakfast and believes he's waited his entire existence for Lily.
Her best friends and housemates - vampires, a demon and a hellhound - rally to her side as the odds stack up against her. A conniving vampire queen, a witch bent on seduction and a determined assassin with a contract on Lily's undead life round out a season in the City by the Bay.

"Gives new meaning to "Bite me""
Expect the unexpected with this fun series. Lily is a vampire plus, and so are four of her best friends (one is also her love), the mate of one of them is a fire demon and the two of them are loved by a hellhound, and then there is the other of Lilly's loves who is a jinn, and the human who serves as their butler. The bad guys are a nasty werewolf, the Queen of the night who keeps court in NOLA, a vampire assassin, and a vampire witch. This episode is twistier than a mountain road, and just as deadly.
Valerie Gilbert is stellar in performance as each of the "characters", and never loses her chirpiness.
"What's not to love about a great vamp story!"
Combine a hot male vamp, a sexy genie, and Lili the vamp, and you've got magic, not to mention a love triangle. We've got vampires, witches, werewolves, genies, demons and hellhounds. What more could you ask for? Well, lots of humor and vamp angst. I'm totally enjoying this series. And I love the narrator. She's perfect for the voice, knowing just when to pause and just when to use the right intonation. She's makes the stories even more delightful.

No, I'm not posting my outfits of the day. I don't have the style and body of ManilaFashionObserver or MyMomFriday. These are my 5yo's outfits (sorry Berry Dychiao, I'm a copycat!).
Based on our progressive parenting sessions with Coach Pia Acevedo, we should empower our kids and give them opportunities to make their own decisions. There are some moms that cannot bear to let their kids out of the house wearing mismatching clothes or shoes. I was one of those moms but I have learned to be progressive and let M pick her clothes from the closet. Here are some of her outfits from last December. Obviously, a skirt and/or leggings are staples.
Clockwise: Gap tee and leggings, Gingersnaps tutu, SM boots; Gap tee, Old Navy tutu (size 24 months!), SM leggings; Gingersnaps tee, Gap leggings, Zara Kids scarf; Gingersnaps tee, Skorts from Mothering Eartlings, Mothercare leggings, Zara mary janes; Gingersnaps tee, Mothercare skirt, SM leggings, Jelly Nelly sandals; Gap tee, Ralph Kids skirt
The other day, she wore a graphic tee with a multi-colored tutu, rainbow leggings and red plaid flats. Who am I to judge her style? She'll probably change it over several times in her lifetime.
Yes, I still get OC from the mismatches but I have learned to control my impulse to scar her for life with potential criticisms. For now, encouraging her to be creative and empowering her to make her personality come out is what's more important.

The other day I was surprised to receive a note from Congressman Jay Inslee. Mr. Inslee has been an instrumental proponent of plug-in electric vehicle adoption. Congressman Inlsee writes:
I am thrilled to discover your site. Thanks for spreading the news. I am a Congressman from Seattle who a leading advocate for renewables and clean energy in the House. I have been promoting plug-ins for some time and have had the first success this year with passage of an amendment to the energy bill creating a plug-in demonstration project. This is designed to help prove the reliability of the battery package particularly.
I have also recently co-authored the book "Apollo's Fire:Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy," which features a good discussion of plug-ins as well as the budding host of technologies that can grow our economy while tackling global warming. I just met with GM officials at the DC car show about the Volt last week and brought it to Capitol hill to show it to my colleagues some time ago.
As an issue related to the cost of Volt ownership, I asked Mr. Inslee about the current status of tax credits for plug-in cars. He writes:
The road hasn't ended, and hopefully it won't be long, for the plug-in hybrid vehicle tax credit.
This December, I won a provision in the House passed energy package that would give consumers a $4,000 tax credit for purchasing one of these next-generation green cars. The Senate came within one vote of overcoming a filibuster of this legislation, but could only muster 59 of the 60 votes needed.
Later in December, Congress approved and the president signed a narrower energy package that did not include tax provisions. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that passing the energy tax provisions, including the plug-in tax credit, is one of her top priorities for 2008. And based on how close we came in December, I'm confident the energy tax provisions can be passed in both chambers this year.
I'm also pushing another legislative vehicle for enacting the plug-in tax credit: H.R. 589, my Get Real Incentives to Drive Plug-in Act. This bill includes this tax break for American who buy plug-ins, along with additional research funding, tax incentives for U.S. auto manufacturers that make these vehicles, grant programs for conversion facilities, and a testing facility for plug-in manufacturers.
In other good news, the U.S. Department of Energy has started to support research that could get more plug-in hybrids on the road. In September 2007, the federal agency devoted $17.2 million to the development of plug-in hybrid batteries. It selected five projects in collaboration with the United States Advanced Battery Consortium that are aimed at making plug-in hybrids market ready. This is a small step in the right direction – commercialization of these vehicles. I look forward to taking the next important steps. Chief among them is the plug-in tax credit for consumers.

InstaTuts have published a guide for exporting a model from 3DS Max and printing it in ABS plastic (our 'Grey Robust' material – we no longer offer 'Cream robust'). The article contains some useful pointers for the use of 3DSMax's STL Check Modifier and STL export function (note: Shapeways supports the more compact Binary STL file format, too!)
I found it interesting that the article refers to manifoldness as 'the Vertex to Vertex Rule':
What this means is that each triangle of the mesh must share 2 vertices with its adjacent triangles. For example one triangles vertex cannot lie on the side of a triangle, it must be attached to another vertex of the triangle.
There's an image in the article that illustrates this. What do you think? Is this a clear/better explanation?

Close inspection with a glass reveals only the most minor surface defects, none of which detract from the substantial eye appeal, and only one of which before Liberty's neck would make a worthwhile pedigree marker.

NEW YORK CITY, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ --Hitting Rock Bottom tells the real stories of real people's struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. From their darkest moments to their ultimate triumph, each season explores one individual's life through the whole journey of addiction and recovery. In season 1, Darryl leaves his abusive home and starts a new life as a bartender at a high-end New York City nightclub where he is introduced to alcohol and drugs by co-workers and friends. Before long, he ends up in a crack house and on the streets, and becomes target practice for a gang of psychotic criminals. How does Darryl manage to rise above the insanity?
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130403/CG87578)
Corey Snyder, director of Hitting Rock Bottom, draws from his personal bought with addiction. From the first AA meeting, he was moved by the stories that others shared. "Hearing these stories week after week was a huge part of my recovery," Corey said. "That's why I wanted to create a show that depicts the very stories that compelled me to live a clean life, to reach others who are struggling the way I was." Now five years sober, Corey has channeled his inspiration into a show that has a message – there is hope and there is help.
Hitting Rock Bottom, a Digital Democracy Studios production, launches on Friday, April 12, releasing the first half of season 1 with a new 3-4 minute episode available every Friday over four weeks. Episodes can be viewed at www.hittingrockbottomshow.com, on YouTube, Blip.tv, and QliqPlay, a new platform for curated web series. New episodes will be announced through a mailing list (sign up at www.hittingrockbottomshow.com), on Twitter (@HRBshow), and on Facebook (HittingRockBottomShow).
"There are many factors that lead people to substance abuse. And for so many, including me, it starts from our childhood – a broken home, abusive family, or alcoholic parents," Corey explained. "There aren't enough shows out there that focus on the people who suffer from addiction, what they have to cope with, how they come to recovery, and how the people around them contribute to or enable the addiction." Hitting Rock Bottom is often suspenseful. Halfway through watching Darryl's story, it's hard to imagine how he's going to come out on top. "In the end, we want the people who are struggling to know that there is a way out from their addictions," JJ Ko, producer of Hitting Rock Bottom, added, "and that is why we end every season on a high note."
"We aimed to make the highest quality show possible," JJ, who co-executive produced the show with Corey, said, "and we did." Hitting Rock Bottom rivals any show on network television in quality and content. "We want to continue delivering the best show we can, and we want to do this with the help from our audience." A crowdfunding campaign is set to start on April 26 to raise production funds for the second half of season 1, currently scheduled to be released in the fall.
To further their outreach, the makers of Hitting Rock Bottom are also creating a number of trans media projects to be released in conjunction with the show's premiere, as well as an awareness campaign in September which is National Recovery Month. For more information on the series, trans media projects, or awareness campaign, contact Lila Yomtoob, marketing producer, at 917-887-8535 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ellen White says her recent clinical form is down to her enjoyment of the game.
White has scored three times in her last two appearances and also guided England to victory against Canada at the weekend.
The Arsenal striker netted a brace in the 6-0 FA Women's Cup win over holders Birmingham City Ladies on Tuesday night and says that Shelley Kerr's squad are using last season's cup disappointment as motivation to go all the way this year.
It was nice to get on the scoresheet again but I think ultimately we wanted to alleviate the heartbreak of losing out on the FA Cup last yearEllen White
"It was nice to get on the scoresheet again but I think ultimately we wanted to alleviate the heartbreak of losing out on the FA Cup last year," White told Arsenal.com. "We really wanted to get through to the semi-finals. Birmingham are a great team and put up a real fight but I think we performed really well as a squad.
"I'm really pleased with my form. It was fantastic to score the winner against Canada and hopefully it will continue. I'm staying positive and controlling what I can control. I'm loving playing football at the moment and I've got some great team-mates here too.
"We were looking at the FA Cup and trying to get through to the last four but it probably does send out a message to everyone saying that we are fighting on all fronts. It was a great team performance and I think it does show that we are really going to have a go at retaining our title."
Kerr's side are in action again on Sunday when they welcome Bundesliga leaders VfL Wolfsburg to Meadow Park for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
After being knocked out in the last four in the past two seasons, White has extra motivation to reach this season's final at Stamford Bridge.
"We're buzzing for it," she said. "We're all feeling positive about it. The focus was on getting through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and now that will change to Wolfsburg. We can't wait for it and we know we need a positive result to take to Germany with us.
"We all love playing at Borehamwood. Hopefully it can be a fortress this season. It may benefit us playing at home first. We want to put in a positive performance and take a good result to Germany."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

https://www.facebook.com/leone.decastrisSalice Salentino, a small village in Salento rich in vineyards and olive groves, is the landscape giving life to Leone de Castris' wine tradition. It is exactly here, on the very spot where today's cellar stands, that in 1665 Duke Oronzo, Earl of Lemos, gave birth to the company. He got enchanted by this landscape and decided to sell all his properties in Spain in order to draw the best from the Salentine rich terroir. He began to plant new vines, olive trees and wheat along 5 thousand hectares' properties, not only in Salice, but also in Guagnano, Veglie, Villa Baldassarri, Novoli and San Pancrazio.– Description from hinaualan

Rich with aromas of pineapple, melon, orange gel candies and a certain light waxiness this is attractive if a touch simple. Round in the mouth with good acid and a refreshing feel while delivering simple yet attractive lemon, candied lime and light honeydew flavors.

Every year Bristol plays host to one of the largest Audio/Visual consumer & trade shows in the UK. Aptly titled The Bristol Show, it is one of the best opportunities for home cinema and Hi-Fi enthusiasts to gather and exchange views on current technology, meet the people behind the brands, and of course see, hear, and play with, some seriously neat kit! So, with press invite in hand TrustedReviews headed over to the show to see what wonders we could find.
Now it goes without saying that a lot of the equipment on show was at the extreme high end of the scale both in terms of budget and capability and for most of our readers spending £10,000 on a pair of speakers isn't really an option. So, rather than concentrate on all the super high-end audio equipment and home cinema setups we've tried to pick out the more technically interesting, innovative, and more affordable products at the show. That said, everyone loves a bit of eye-candy so we'll dedicate the rest of this first page to showing you just what you can get if money is no object (or if you're really serious about your hobby!).
Naim had by far the largest presence at the show with four rooms dedicated to its equipment (most companies had just one) and accordingly it was demonstrating the most expensive speakers at the show. Unfortunately to maintain its brand recognition and create a sense of continuity from room to room it also chose to bath all its demo rooms in green light so photographing these enormous speakers was a tad difficult, to say the least. Still, I think this picture does the circa £15k speakers ample justice - these truly are monsters!
Another big name speaker company with equally big speakers on show was Dynaudio who was not only demonstrating its superb Sapphire speakers but also had one of its built-to-order Consequence speakers on show. Ok, it wasn't plugged in but as one of the first things we saw when entering the show it has to go down as one of the highlights. And, no, the man in the background wasn't a midget, these speakers really are that big.

More than a billion people worldwide live on less than one US dollar a day, and many of them lack adequate access to transport. In rural areas, markets, schools, and health care facilities can be widely dispersed, and public transportation is often erratic, crowded, and expensive. Walking is the only reliable transportation available to many hundreds of millions of people.
There is a simple solution that can put schools and clinics within reach, increase the loads that can be carried to market, allow the small vendor to reach more potential customers, or radically increase the number of patients a rural health care worker can reach in a day: the bicycle.
In addition, providing a few simple tools, teaching bicycle repair skills, and helping start a shop with an initial small stock of used bicycles can create an entrepreneurial opportunity that lifts a family out of poverty, or provides a steady stream of income for a small local nonprofit.
In this season of giving, I have been thinking a lot about the transformative power of bicycles. Although there are lots of amazing bicycle nonprofits and cooperatives in America, it will come as no surprise to Bikejuju readers that I am particularly interested in the role of bicycles as a vehicle for change in Africa, where I spend a couple of months each year.
Over the last six months I've been assembling a list of projects in Africa and Latin America that harness the transformative power of bicycles in myriad ways, and now I'd like to ask you to consider supporting them.
It's that time of year. Please support one of these projects with a generous donation. How about a hundred bucks?
- Bamboo Bike Project
- Bicycle Empowerment Network Namibia
- Bicycle Empowerment Network South Africa
- Bicycles for Humanity
- Bikes for the World
- Bikes Not Bombs International Projects
- Bikes to Rwanda
- Bikes Without Borders
- FABIO Uganda
- Kaloko Trust
- Mayapedal
- Mikes Bikes Africa Projects
- Project Rwanda
- Re-Cycle
- Village Bicycle Project
- Wheels for Life
- World Bicycle Relief
- Worldbike
In 2010 I'll be turning Bikejuju more in this direction, blogging a lot more about these initiatives, including visiting a few in person. If you have experience working with any of these organizations, or are aware of other projects in Africa, Asia, or Latin America that should be added to the list, please post a comment or get in touch.
PS: only seven days left in the Dark Days photo contest, with prizes from Planet Bike and Bikeglow. Contest ends 12/20. At dusk.

It is once again time for a #progGOD challenge. Tony Jones called all us emergent-y types to write on the meaning and, potentially, necessity for the crucifixion. Here's what I had to say:
"Because this great love can move us to do wonderful and amazing things, but it can also make us furious, jealous, or even vengeful when we can't seem to look past our own selfishness and let love abide. It is especially threatening to those of us with great privilege, as this love requires us to let go of the things that have given us power over others, power which we rather like.
So, forsaking humility, we take that love and we dominate it. We arrest it, strip it, scourge it, and mock it. We pin it down and nail it to a tree–where we can keep an eye on it and be assured it won't get out. We starve it of food, drink, rest, even air. We push it to its breaking point. We let it die.
And the beautiful, yet incredibly terrible thing about this love is that it submits to it all."
Read the rest here. This time, Tony is rewarding the person whose post gets the most likes, shares, and whatnot, so if you like what you read, please, share it so I can get free books. You can read my other #progGOD posts here (nature of God) and here (incarnation).

Pioneer Flights
The first air mail flight in Canada was from Montreal to Toronto on June 24th 1918. It was made by Captain Brian Peck from the Royal Air Force training school at Leaside, outside Toronto, and was planned as part of a publicity event to encourage wartime recruitment. Approximately 125 covers were carried, and given a special cancellation as shown below. This was followed by some 20 more mail carrying flights over the next five years, made by a variety of individuals and organizations. The amount of mail carried on each of these flights was small, and while most Canadian air mail covers are relatively affordable, these pioneer covers tend to be rare and expensive.
Canadian Air Mail Routes – 1940.
Figure 2: Peck
Figure 3: Laurentide
Semi-Official Air Mail Flights
During the 1920's, a number of companies began flying into remote Northern areas of Canada, often in support of prospectors and miners. The Post Office allowed these companies to charge for the letters they carried, and to issue their own stamps. These stamps had a "semi-official" status, as they were sold from post offices, but the Post Office did not assume responsibility for the airmail, or help with the cost of the service. At first they could only be placed on the back of an envelope, and were not allowed to show a value in case they were confused with regular postage stamps. These restrictions were later relaxed.
The first of these services was operated by Laurentide Air Services in 1924 from Lake Timiskaming to the Rouyn goldfields. Flights were made in war surplus HS-2L flying boats, and took an hour each way. They replaced a water trip that required four different boats due to portages, and took approximately two days.
Figure 4: Rimouski
First Canadian Government Air Mail Flights
The Post Office first budgeted money for airmail services in 1927.
The first of the services funded by the Post Office began in September 1927. It received mail from incoming steamers at Rimouski, where the St. Lawrence river pilot boarded ships, and flew it to Montreal in order to speed up mail from Europe to Canada. The service also flew late mail from Montreal to Rimouski, where it was transferred to steamers going to England. The service operated once a week until November, and resumed each summer until 1938.
In October 1927 the Post Office also began paying for airmail service to some remote locations, which were often cut off during the winter. Initially no extra charge was made for airmail on any of these services.
Figure 5: CNE
First Flight Covers as popular collectibles
The 1920's were a time of great interest in everything to do with aviation. They were also a time when stamp collecting was a very popular hobby.
In August 1928, the Canadian National Exhibition decided to organize an air show, as part of the celebrations for its 50th Anniversary. The events included special flights carrying mail to Toronto, one from Windsor, and another from Quebec City, on the opening day of the air show. A fee of 5 cents was charged for each envelope carried on these flights, compared to the normal cost of 2 cents to send a letter at that time. In return for this fee, a commemorative cachet was applied to each envelope carried. The response was terrific! Over 30,000 pieces of mail were carried on the opening day flights, and more than 27,000 on the return flights from Toronto to Windsor and Quebec City at the end of the air show.
After this, the Post Office offered a commemorative cachet each time it inaugurated a new airmail service, and also for some special events.
Figure 6: Albany
On October 1st 1928, the Post Office inaugurated an airmail service between Montreal and Albany, which connected with an overnight train to New York City.
On this date the Post Office also began to charge a higher fee for some airmail services. – Services were now divided into two types: AIR MAIL SERVICES, which offered faster delivery of mail on payment of a higher fee, and AIR STAGE SERVICES, which used aircraft to carry mail to and from isolated communities. Mail was normally flown on Air Stage services at regular postal rates, but if a collector wanted a special First Flight cachet, they had to pay the higher Air Mail postage rate.
The Post Office would send out details of future First Flights to collectors. The flights were also announced in newspapers, and in stamp magazines. Covers were to be sent to a designated post office near the start of the flight to receive the cachet, and were then held until the flight. After the flight, covers were normally backstamped to show that they'd been flown. They were then sent on to the address on the cover. – Collectors were supposed to put their own address on the covers, so that it was easy to forward them. However, this sometimes led to covers like the one above, which looked like they had been sent in the wrong direction. Some collectors therefore addressed their covers to the end of the flight, and wrote a return address elsewhere on the cover.
Figure 7: Aklavik
In August 1929 the Post Office announced the inauguration of airmail service along the Mackenzie River from Fort McMurray to Aklavik, north of the Arctic Circle. There would be 12 intermediate stops, and the Post Office offered a separate cachet for service between Fort McMurray and each of the stops.
Aklavik had grown up around a Hudson's Bay Company trading post, and become the administrative, medical, and religious centre of the region. It was also the Western Arctic headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but by 1930 it's population was only about 400. Before the introduction of airmail, communication with the rest of Canada was by steamer along the Mackenzie River in summer, and by dogsled along the frozen river in winter.
In 1929, there was not only great interest in aviation and stamp collecting, but there was also considerable excitement regarding anything to do with the Arctic. The result of these three factors was that by the end of October, the Post Office in Edmonton had received about 120,000 covers to be carried on the inaugural flights! These weighed over 7 tons, and was far more mail than had been expected. Commercial Airways Ltd., which had been awarded the contract for the service, had to acquire three additional aircraft for the inaugural flights.
On November 26th the mail was sent by rail to Fort McMurray, which was the northern terminus of the railway from Edmonton. Starting on December 10th, a team of four aircraft and six pilots began shuttling mail on the 1,676 mile route north. Some aircraft carried mail as far north as possible, while others took the cancelled mail south, and returned with mail for more northern points. The first flight reached Aklavik on December 27th, having overcome very severe weather. On Christmas Day the temperature dropping to -60° overnight, and it was -44°F when the aircraft had to be started and take off the next morning.
Figure 8: 1939
In 1932, as the Depression deepened, the Government cancelled most of the AIR MAIL contracts! According to Prime Minister R.B. Bennett: "With 300,000 of the population receiving some form of relief, there was very little gratification in seeing an aeroplane passing by day after day when the unfortunate owner of the soil could hardly see the aeroplane because his own crop had gone up in dust."
However, the Post Office continued to inaugurate new AIR STAGE services to isolated communities during the 1930's. Interest in aviation remained high throughout this period, and First Flight Covers continued to be popular.
By the end of the 1930's, the Canadian Government showed a renewed interest in civil aviation. Trans-Canada Air Lines had been formed in 1937, and in February 1938 had begun operating a daily "ghost service" for training purposes, between Vancouver and Winnipeg. – On March 1st 1939, TCA inaugurated a daily air mail service between Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. To mark the occasion, the Post Office produced forty different First Flight cachets.
The network of airmail routes in operation by the end of 1939 is shown at the map at the start of this article. Many additional routes were inaugurated after 1939, but only occasionally did the Post Office produce First Flight cachets for them.
For more information
An easily available resource is Air Mail in Alberta , by Denny May. This is an excellent book that concentrates on covers from Alberta, but will provide a great introduction to Canadian airmail services in general. It is 55 pages with lots of illustrations, and is available on a CD, which minimizes postage charges. The CD costs $10.00 Canadian or US, including postage worldwide. Payment can be by PayPal (Denny will send an invoice), or by cheque or international money order, sent to: Denny May, 10326 145 St NW, Edmonton AB T5N 2X7, Canada. [Email: firstname.lastname@example.com ]
The standard reference for information on all Canadian air mail stamps and covers is The Air Mails of Canada and Newfoundland. (AMCN). – This was a joint production by the Canadian Aerophilatelic Society (CAS) and the American Air Mail Society (AAMS), and is generally considered very informative and easy to use. It contains the four digit numbers by which most Canadian Government Flight Covers are referred: the three digit numbers sometimes still found on covers, are from Volume 4 of the American Air Mail Catalogue (1981) which is long out of print. – AMCN can be purchased from some philatelic dealers, or ordered from either the AAMS, [see www.americanairmailsociety.org for more information], or the CAS [see www.aerophilately.ca].
Information on many different aspects of Canadian aerophilately is available on the Canadian Aerophilatelic Society's website at www.aerophilately.ca . This includes an index to the CAS journal, The Canadian Aerophilatelist, in which you can find articles on many different flights, covers, and aerophilatelic topics. If you would like to be mailed a complimentary, sample copy of The Canadian Aerophilatelist just email the editor, Chris Hargreaves, at firstname.lastname@example.com

As I was walking down the Avenue de Rivoli this afternoon, I suddenly crossed the path of a crowd of frightening Zombies. No, evil did not take over Paris yet and the underground is not populated by thousands of dead men walking. It was indeed Zombi Day, a special march downtown to celebrate the day of the Dead.

Sound Slideshow : Albert Kahn's Gardendimanche, mai 31st, 2009
Albert Kahn was a banker that dedicated his fortune to photograph in color the world in the first three decades of last century. His ultimate goal was to build an archive were all of the people of the world would be documented. He also created a wonderful garden close to the Boulogne Woods that is probably one of the most beautiful in Paris. As he went bankrupt in the Great Depression, the city of Boulogne bought his property. His huge archive is now part of the museum that borders the Gardens. The slide-show will bring you in this magnificent park where kids, couples or lonesome wanderers all enjoy this little haven within the city.

Horse races are one of the favorites activities of many Parisians on weekends. There are four majors horse tracks in Paris (Auteuil, Longchamp, St Cloud, Vincennes) so there is always a competition going on somewhere in the city. Being around the fanatics and professional bettors is a great experience as it will immerse you in a typical world that has not been altered too much over the last decades.

Soundslides : Stop Sexism Marchdimanche, mars 8th, 2009
Though France has a long standing tradition of human and civil rights defendants, nowadays it is starting to lag behind other modern societies in terms of equality between genders. Indeed a very small proportion of women run CAC40 companies or sit in the highest governmental institutions. Also, there is very little legislation to protect women working as prostitutes. In order to denounce these facts, a demonstration was organized around the Pompidou Center. Click on picture or here to start slideshow.

Sound Slides : Strike and Riotsjeudi, janvier 29th, 2009
A general strike took place today in France. In Paris, several hundred thousands walked from La Bastille to the Opera to force the government to stop public jobs cuts and the numerous reforms underway. This comes as a direct consequence of the economic crisis that is starting to hurt badly the middle class. As the crowd started to break up, several thousands wanted to march on to La Madeleine and maybe on to the President's Palace. The CRS (anti-riot forces) quickly stepped in and blocked the way. This caused the riots to start.
This slideshow is not a propaganda for one side or the other. The demostrators had their belief, the anti-riot forces did what they were told to without major injuries. It's just a shame that French people ended up fighting each other when they should unite to face these difficult times.

Posted in MLS
For football fans, when we hear our sport described as "the beautiful game", it evokes a certain sense of pride.
With the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Sneijder, Bale, and so many others to dazzle us with feats of stunning skill and athleticism, it's a well-deserved moniker, but it shouldn't be taken for granted. There are times when things look a little rough around the edges.
It might seem gratuitous, with this year's MLS season in its infancy, to ponder things unsightly, but this isn't limited to the "less sophisticated" parts of the world, as there is certain ugliness in the type of overwhelming lopsidedness that presently persists in La Liga.
Notwithstanding the quasi-heroic effort put on by Almeria in the first 45 at the weekend, being a Barca fan feels somehow tainted of late by the utter inevitability of the outcome, and the tones of El Cant del Barça ring slightly sharp.
At least a typical Real fixture this season still holds the uncertainty of a team that has yet more kinks to work out (what is it with that back line?).
But our part of the footballing world would surely be content if that were the only sort of issue they had – although it often seems that an abundance of fruit have been hanging low for an eternity.
For example, while the product on the pitch in MLS continues to make gains, in a number of cases it's the pitch itself that detracts from the expected beauty. Venues like Buck Shaw, CommunityAmerica, and RFK have for too long injected an undesirable element of absurdity into the league's image.
And this has opened the continuously improving North American game to rather underserved ridicule. Of course, this isn't limited to MLS, as the atmosphere of a typical A-League match-up is lost in the hollows of an Aussie-Rules stadium.
Thankfully, the visual of a patched up baseball field is swiftly moving into the past – we can only hope that the remaining artificial turf will fast follow suit.
Other improvements, while perhaps less obvious, also hold the potential for boosting the league's image.
For example, enforced standards for TV coverage are badly needed – Saturday's broadcast of the TFC–San Jose fixture at the tiny high-school-bleacher-clad Buck Shaw wasn't in any way improved by a director with a ridiculous penchant for ill-timed and pointless replays that seemed to alternate with inexplicably long close-ups of players uninvolved in the play that was quickly moving up the pitch.
And the fix here seems straightforward: a few H1B Visas for some borrowed German or English producers should enable the various broadcasters to get their domestic staff up to speed. But even broadcasts from venues like BMO Field would be significantly improved simply by elevating the camera platforms a few meters to give fans a better sense of the game's tactical developments.
And it should go without saying that widescreen is the only format appropriate to frame our beautiful game.
CONCACAF also suffers from an acute form of an ailment that does pop up in every part of the world: inept officiating. Wednesday's Revolution–Whitecaps fixture is a case-in-point, as "Tarjeta-Toledo" did his best to suck the life out of what was otherwise a highly entertaining game – that excludes the red cards, which were all deserved, but the match was otherwise simply not well-managed.
That isn't to say that all MLS fixtures are poorly officiated, as the TFC–Earthquakes contest stands out as an example of where the tone set by the referee actually went a significant way towards overcoming the evening's other notable deficiencies.
And to be sure, MLS officiating generally still doesn't descend to the preposterous lows too frequently seen in other CONCACAF competitions.
In the Champions League and the Gold Cup, the all-too-pervasive play-acting still tends to benefit the cheaters – to the detriment of the game's beauty.
Surely it's just a matter of implementing effective and ongoing training for our officials, complemented by an equally effective performance management system, to achieve the desired consistency.
Football's power-politics tend to make for slow progress on the resolution of issues like the imbalance in Spain, yet things do change – the EPL is certainly more competitive than it has been in some time, and the seemingly disinterested Italian fans have had to cede a Champions League spot to their more enthusiastic German counterparts.
We do have lower-hanging fruit on this side of the pond, though, and we ought to get on with the picking. It would be a shame indeed if easy fixes left unaddressed undid the good work done by forward-leaning ownership groups such as Seattle and now Vancouver.

Well said, Michael.
I've been complaining about the camera angles at BMO (and other venues) for years. It is a problem for most leagues, though. You don't even have to leave the top league in most countries to find a few grounds that would seem spartan even by MLS standards.
Each minute Torres spends playing on the field, he gets paid 75000 pounds. Wow.
