As an Orthopaedic surgeon, I know how difficult it is for repair large bone defect in patients, as a researcher, I know how difficult it is for an early stage investigator to get founded. It is Airlift research foundation provided me a grant and gave me this chance to continue doing my research project aims at exploring methods of repairing severely damaged bone and cartilage with stem cells. Here I want to thank all the supporters to this foundation and hope more people can join us to support this foundation together.
I am a researcher in bone repair and regeneration. I had quite experience with the foundation. The airlift foundation was formerly aircast foundation, which supported orthopedic research. I submitted my proposals to them three times, it was not funded. But the feedback helped me continue to improve my research quality. In 2009, the foundation restructured and focused on orthopedic research on wounded soldiers. Fortunately, my research was eventually funded by airlift research foundation in 2009. In this project, I proposed to study on anti-infection and bone regeneration. More fortunately, when I had personal interaction with the injured soldiers and their families in the meetings the foundation organized, I started to realize the real impact on injured soldiers and civilians my research may have. I am also very glad that I could share my experience with my trainees and colleagues.
I am close to several friends who are currently serving in the military. Whenever they return from duty, they tell their stories about the horrors of combat and about fellow soldiers who were either killed or seriously injured. Upon their return home, those who survived must cope with their injuries. A lot of the time those injuries involve bones and limbs. Overcoming such disabilities is a crucial step in order to return to a "normal" lifestyle, whether that involves returning to service or simply learning how to walk again. The Airlift Research Foundation has helped fund the research I am performing on bone regeneration in order to treat those who suffered limb trauma. My research focuses on developing a non-invasive method of regenerating new bone. Such a method would not require surgery and would bypass the obstacle of finding suitable bone grafts. If successful, such a method would greatly facilitate the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers, decrease recovery time and complications, and increase the quality of life of trauma patients. I am excited by the thought that my work may one day help countless trauma victims get their lives back together, and I am very thankful that the Airlift organization is helping to make this dream possible.
Review from Guidestar
My grandfather served in World War II as a young adult. His ship, the U.S.S. Corry, was the first and only ship to sink at the attack on D-Day. He was not seriously injured, but the reality of losing life or limb was prevalent among his shipmates and friends serving as soldiers. I have met several war veterans who try to return to a "normal life" and succumb to having to take up a different trade based upon an unfortunate ailment. This research endeavor, which is partially supported by the Airlift Research Foundation, not only benefits rectifying an individual's physical disability, but it also presents the opportunity for returning to a "normal life." Normalcy includes both career and family life, from typing on a keyboard with both hands to holding a child. This research project is especially personal to me for the wide range of applications. Bone restorations from facial trauma to missing appendages will one day be a reality as a result of this project. This ambition is what keeps me moving forward each day as a student researcher. I am excited to be working for such a dedicated organization toward a goal that can and will immediately help thousands in need.
Review from Guidestar
When my parents brought me to live in Kuwait in the 1990's, evidence of the Gulf War was everywhere. The war-torn little country had been ransacked and ravaged, and though the fighting was over the trauma of that time would never be. Now, ten years later, I am back in the United States, in the Houston Medical Center, where I work this summer on a research project that is of paramount importance to me. In scientific terms, the goal of my summer research, which is partially supported by the Airlift Research Foundation, is to characterize and compare different materials for synthetic bone grafts to treat combat-related and civilian large-scale bone injury. What makes this work meaningful, though, is not just that I might better understand the chemical effects of different scaffolds. The true goal of my research is to better understand how to help people – real people who are suffering the way I saw people suffer when I was growing up in the Middle East. The beauty of this research is in its universal application: people of all nations will benefit from what I discover. This work excites me because I grasp its importance – every day when I come into the lab I picture those men and women and children whose entire lives could change for the better because of it. Spending my childhood in a country fresh out of war made me see suffering as part of the human condition. This research, though, helps me realize that it doesn't have to be.
Review from Guidestar
The Airlift Research Foundation's mission is one of need to advance recovery of injured military personnel and civilians who sustain blast-related injuries. The research being conducted will have a direct impact to those sustaining injury and will ultimately result in improved well being. As your investigators develop their research and obtain future support, inital funding provided by the Airlift Research Foundation will continually evolve as a contribution to those recovering from blast-related injuries. Central to the Airlift Research Foundation's mission is the willingness to improve the reovery and quality of life from such injuries.

Commute Trailer (2007)
01 January 2007
On a daily commute from Orange County to downtown Los Angeles, an unnamed driver (writer-director Marc Wasserman) watches his life pass him by while he fights insufferable gridlock and creeps along one of the busiest freeways in the country. This satirical look at life in the slow lane features standout performances from a hilarious cast, including actor Tom Sizemore's show-stopping turn as The Almighty himself.
Watch the official Commute 2007 trailer in HD below or find more Commute videos on Vidimovie.

She's currently starring in ABC Family's Make It Or Break It – after a run on Hannah Montana – making Josie Loren a full-blown teen role model. So, what does the rising star think about Real Beauty? Well, we sat down to find out!
Josie Loren: On Real Beauty
I think beauty is… what people see when an individual has come to truly love and appreciate them self for everything that makes them unique.
I feel most beautiful when… I have just had a nice, long bath, moisturized with my favorite body butter, spritzed myself with some lavender, and slipped into cozy sweats.
How to pamper yourself at home!
I deal with the pressure for body "perfection" by… living a healthy lifestyle with the food choices I make and exercising on a regular basis BUT still treating myself. I always say, "everything in moderation!" If I feel good about the way I'm living my life, then the pressure melts away. I'm happy.
Being on TV makes me feel… blessed that I have been so lucky and fortunate to make my living off of my greatest passion.
My 3 cannot-live-without-them beauty products are… oil blot pads, makeup remover, concealer.
How to conceal pesky under-eye circles!
My pre-event routine consists of… drinking lots of water, shaving, singing in the shower, and moisturizing!
The women I most admire are… those that can do it all – dominate their career, be the best mother, wife, sister, friend anyone can ask for, and still feel connected and happy with themselves. I just described my mom.
If I could give young women a piece of advice, it would be… stay true to yourselves. The real, honest, true you will never lead you astray or let you down.
I wish more women would… support one another. Unfortunately, I often see that women hurt one another more than they help one another. We're in this together and there is power in numbers.
I wish I could… give every child an equal opportunity at a stellar education. Not everybody is born into a family that has the means to put them in schools that will give them a chance at success. As an active member of School On Wheels, where I tutor homeless children, I see how very important a good education is nowadays. It can change lives as it did mine. I wish I could give others the same opportunity.
The one style tip I swear by is… a fabulous pair of heels will fix any outfit!
If I could only keep 3 items in my closet, they would be… my Sam Edelman suede booties, leather jacket, and my UCLA sweatshirt I've had since my freshman year, which was my first year in LA. I have too many memories that I associate with that raggedy thing!

The farm also had a small petting area. This little goat is only about three weeks old and he was an orphan. His momma wouldn't take care of him, so they are hand-feeding him and taking care of him until he can join the rest of the goats in the field. He likes to be held and seemed to be enjoying every moment of attention he could get. He actually went to sleep in Gloria's arms.
Thanks for stopping by! We were a family of three, until we added one more (cat, that is), making us a family of four. In 2012, we added four more...one husband, two girls, and a dog. We have a full plate as a party of eight!
Adoption, blended families, pets, school, running...it's all here. Pull up a chair and read a while. After you do, please leave a little comment love! It makes me happy...and y'all know...if Momma is happy, then everyone is happy...at least at our house!
Sunday, May 9, 2010
Strawberry Picking
We went strawberry picking after church today. Gloria was so excited..."I've picked apples lots of times but NEVER strawberries!" Every red berry was such a treasure to be oohed and aahhed over. "Momma, look what I found!" "Momma, look at this one!" "Momma, I can't believe this one!" "Oh look, Momma, look!" I didn't take my camera, but had my phone. So these pictures aren't great quality, but we have our memories! :)

Skip to comments.Two of the Most Basic Elements of Evangelization: The Message and the Plan
Posted on 02/17/2014 3:46:30 AM PST by markomalley
One of the great blessings of being a Roman Catholic is to be a member of the church that is over 2000 years old has amassed a vast treasury of holy doctrine, wisdom, knowledge, sacred tradition, an enormous library of the writings and teachings of Saints and Holy Doctors, great movements, spirituals and liturgical traditions. Yes, there are a lot of moving parts to our magnificent faith and our Church.
But strengths are often just a few degrees separated from struggles. And thus, with such a rich fair and with many possible facets for discussion (and debate), too often we who are Catholic can get lost in the details and forget the simple basic message that must be effectively proclaimed as a kind of a foundation for the rich things that will follow. If we are not careful those who look to the Catholic Faith can become easily and quickly bewildered as they are drawn into a world where people discuss everything from novenas, to the Stations of the Cross, lives of the Saints, spiritual traditions, contemplative prayer versus meditative prayer, lectio divina, Latin mass versus contemporary mass, debates over authority, who can be ordained, liturgical debates, religious liberty, sacramentals,
And while all these things are very good, there remains the need for a good solid foundation wherein one meets the Lord, and comes to know his power in their life.
With this foundation, liturgy, scripture and sacraments begin to fall beautifully into place. The joy of knowing Christ and his saving power, and of being deeply grateful for having been saved by him, fuels a zeal to joyfully inquire into the rich tapestry of Church life, both historical and contemporary. The beauty of the Church now reflects the beauty of Christ, and the beauty of faith.
So the foundation, a relationship with Christ rooted in deep gratitude for being saved by him and loved by him must be built. Realizing this, many today have begun to emphasize the need to return to the fundamental root message that is often called the kerygma. It is a Greek word (?????µa) which means preaching but refers more technically to the first preaching of the Apostles immediately after Pentecost. Some also translate kerygma as Message and thus the word connotes the basic or fundamental message, the foundational proclamation.
I have written more Academically on the subject of the Kerygma here: What do we Mean by the Kerygma and also here: What do the Kerygmatic Sermons Have to Teach us?.
But here Id like to offer just a quick pastoral description of the foundational message we call the kerygma. There are Seven Elements of the Kerygma. of the fundamental and foundation proclamation of the faith. I draw the wording of these largely from Hector Molina over at Catholic Answers with a brief commentary of my own (in red) on each. And while these seven elements to comport exactly with the ancient kerygma, they are modeled on it and serve our times very well.
Here are the Seven Elements of the Kerygma:
1. God loves you and has plan for your life. Yes, God the Father loves you and seeks you. And that ache in your heart, that longing, that yearning, and that never satisfied quality in your desires all point to God and he has written his name in your heart. He wants to turn you away from a passing and unsatisfying world, towards him. He wants to save you and prepare you to live with him for all eternity. He wants to fill the God sized hole in your heart and its infinite longing with his infinite Love.
2. Sin will destroy you. Nothing is so destructive in your life and this world as sin. It is desire gone wrong, it is rooted in the lie that the creature rather than the creature can help and save. Cultivating sin will put you in bondage to desires gone mad that will not ultimately be satisfied. Satan is lying to you and saying that rebellion form the One who made will bring happiness to you. It will not. And you know this already dont you? Sin and indulgence does not ultimately satisfy. The world cannot satisfy, for it is finite and your desire is infinite. Sin does not ultimately bring happiness, it brings bondage, addiction, dissatisfaction, and ultimately resentment and spiritual death.
3. Christ Jesus died to save you. Into this mess of our wayward desires and our foolish grasping at worldly trinkets Jesus came. He met the woman at the well (who is us) and told her that every who drinks form this well (the world) will be thirsty again. In other words, the world cannot ultimately satisfy or save us. We must die to this world and rise to God. But our way to God was cut off by sin. Jesus came and reopened the way to the Father by dying to this world, to its lies and false claims. Rising and Ascending he has re-opened the way to the Father, our hearts true desire. Now we can be saved by being led back to the Father by the saving power of Jesus. And dying to this world, we can one day fully be satisfied by God.
4. Repent and believe the Gospel. To repent means to come to a new mind, to come to understand and accept all that has been stated: that the Lord loves me, is calling me in my desires, and want to save me from the sinful drives that will destroy me. It is time for me to come to beleive in this Love God has form me and accept the promise and salvation of his love: Jesus Christ and the saving truth he proclaims.
5. Be Baptized and receive the Holy Spirit. And thus in Baptism our sins are washed away, we are incorporated into Christ, we become a member of his body. And having done so, the Holy Spirit, the life, love, serenity, joy and wisdom of God comes to dwell in me and begins a work of transforming me, that includes the other Sacraments as well.
6. Abide in Christ and his body the Church. Grow in this relationship with Jesus and His Father in the Holy Spirit by living in the life of the Church, which is Jesus presence and Body in this world. Abide there, that is go on dwelling there.
7. Go make disciples. And so the cycle repeats with the newly Evangelized and more deeply rooted Christian calling others.
Now of course this is the basic proclamation, not the full truth. The Kerygma establishes the foundation on which can be built the higher matters of Christology, ecclesiology, soteriology, Liturgy, Sacramental theology, moral theology and the like. The insight is both simple and clear, when you meet Jesus and experience his saving power, you love him and want to grow in everything he teaches and offers. The Kerygma is the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, all the way to Omega can follow. But make sure the Alpha of the Kerygma is firmly in place.
Another basic element of Evangelization is a key summary verse of the Christian life. In one compact line is disclosed a perfect summary of the Christian walk.
And they devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of the bread and the prayers. Acts 2:42
We like to complicate things. But it doesnt really get more complicated than this. THere are four elements, four pillars of the Christian life:
1. The Apostles Teaching - That is the steadfastly went on in the study of Scripture and the sacred teachings of the Faith given them by the apostles
2. Fellowship They were daily walking with Christs Body the Church, frequenting the Liturgy and other communal gatherings.
3. Breaking of the Bread This is another way of saying that they faithfully received the Eucharist and, by extension, all the Sacraments.
4. Prayers Both personal and communal prayer.
A simple plan for life for a Christian.
Two basic elements of Evangelization: The Message (the kerygma) and the The Plan of Acts 2:42. We like to complicate things, but root, we start simply. The foundation is not the building, but it is an essential basis for the building.

I'm more convinced than ever that it was Brighid calling me just before Easter. Now, to balance that with the Quaker side, at least for now. Some folks have managed to do that. Whether that will include me in the end? Time will tell.
It helps that traditional Quakers fall outside the Catholic/Protestant split. And some of their teachings are closer Eastern Orthodox than to the western churches. What I'm trying to figure out right now is whether the some of the Celtic beliefs (ongoing creation, the presence of the holy within that creation) are unique to the Celts or if they brought them with them when the tribes moved west out of the area just west of Central Asia. I suspect that they are shared beliefs and when the western church grafted Greek and Roman philosophy onto the early church it cut off those branches. Too bad. I'm really falling in love with the picture of a continually evolving Creation.
Which brings me to Easter weekend. I'd been reading. It's kind of hard to read anything by an orthodox writer. Not because of the theology, but the constant references to people I've never heard of. The early teachers, the desert fathers (an mothers), saint so and so, blessed whoever. It's confusing but you get a real feeling of continuity. Which brings me to the family tree. There's one branch that goes back to early third century Armenia. And several great grandfathers (about four dozen times removed, probably related to most of Western Europe) helped build the church in Armenia. Far enough away from Rome to get away with being the first national church.
Then there's the branch from eleventh century Kiev. Including some prime examples of folks who were named as saints strictly for their church building activities. Because great grandmother Olga had ways of dealing with her enemies that did not include prayer and reconciliation. She was a pistol, that one. Not sure what any of them would make of me. They followed their hearts, I'm following mine.
Which brings me to Saturday before Easter. Do I get visitations contemplating the trees, birds and flowers? No, I get them sitting in car, parked in front of the credit union waiting for mom. There they were, the whole damn family. Quakers, Puritans, Russians, oh my. But, without the blue highlights of the lady on the cliff top that I believe was /is Brighid. The group has been falling off since then until there's one figure left. A shadowy gentleman who may owe more than a little to Rae Beth's cunning man and Merlin from King Arthur. So, is he here to give me holy heck for straying from the path or to lead me to a new one. Tom and Rae? I could use a little (a lot) help here.

I was pretty excited last week when I noticed a "Coming Soon" sign in the old Bayley's location and saw that it will be Fuzzy's Taco's. This intersection/area badly needs a casual food establishment other than Chili's that also sells an adult beverage.
Then this morning, scanning the local Courier presented this article!
What will be next? Trader Joe's??? (The site of their first location has yet to be disclosed)

Crap game, poor tournament. Congratulations Portugal but I can't wait for the Premier League to return.
Get Sterling off you clown! Play direct football now ! Play the Premier way! Tempo energy! You can't play any other way!
What a result! I nearly got kicked out of the pub, congrats to every Celtic player and Brendan. What an effort. Hail hail! Time for bed


text: Clean and efficient vehicles are a central part of the CIVITAS demonstrations. This joint action allowed each city to establish an overview on the energy consumption of the municipal and city fleets to be considered and a matrix for assessing them. The energy manager also planned a number of trainings and dissemination workshops. The main objectives was to introduce clean fleet vehicles and sustainable fleet management for city administration and public operators in support of local air quality objectives within each of the CIVITAS-ELAN cities and to follow the most recent developments on the theme of biofuels and to spread this information to the ELAN partners.

Johannesburg - Convicted drunk driving Judge Nkola Motata has lodged a court application to get his job back and stop a gross misconduct probe against him.
In court papers dated Friday at the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, Motata said a decision by the Judicial Service Commission to appoint a tribunal to do the probe had to be declared unconstitutional and unlawful.
On these grounds, Motata has asked the court to direct the justice minister and the JSC to allow him to resume his responsibilities as a judge.
The JSC decided in June to initiate an investigation into allegations of racial slurs by Motata at the scene of his 2007 car crash.
Motata was convicted of drunk driving after crashing his car into the perimeter wall of a house in Hurlingham, north of Johannesburg. The racial slurs were directed at home owner Richard Baird.
Motata was later placed on special leave.
In his founding affidavit Motata said: "It is submitted that the snail's pace at which this matter is being dealt with is not in the interest of all parties and is particularly prejudicial to my rights to a speedy finalisation of the administrative action against me."
He said the JSC was dragging its feet and that there was no legal basis for keeping him at home when there was a dire need for judges.
The rights group, AfriForum, which laid the complaint of racism, based its allegations on audio recordings from the night of the incident.
In the recordings Motata tells Richard Baird, shortly after the crash that: "This used to be the white man's land, but it isn't anymore".
Motata also allegedly asked members of the Johannesburg metro police who tried to calm him: "Why do you support the white man?"
In court papers, Motata said he planned to challenge this.
"I respectfully submit that nothing amounts to racial utterances in the words I used and their context."
AfriForum confirmed on Thursday that it had received the court documents and intended to appeal Motata's applications.
Well good luck Judge.We all deserve a second chance.I think you have done your time.
Ye.., I think we need more drunk judges - the sober ones are useless at implementing the ANC's laws of the Oppression of Minorities and they seem to think Corruption is illegal...
Sorry, any judge who is shown to be a racists must disqualify himself from the bench. He simply cannot be trusted not to apply his prejudices in reaching decisions.
Thats all we need. Another Judge with a complete lack of judgement.
What time has he done?? lying on his backside for two years on full pay?
Dear ex-judge Motata. Welcome to the sober world. You lost your job because of what you did. Now stop whining. Kthx.
@Fred , what happens to radio DJ with racial slurs , why should he be any different ?
Damn the Man , Save South Africa from racism.
As much as I believe that the controversial judge has done his time, I must also state that racism has no place in our society. I think the Motata must never be reinstated as a judge for that reason. He has contributed to dividing our country. Racism has potential of destroying civilisations. We must frown against racism in whatever form or type it manifests itself. NAZI racism under Hittler nearly destroyed the whole world. Apartheid in SA has left permanent scars in our lives - we're still struggling to heal from that even now. Any person who displays racial tendencies should be crushed and shouldn't be allowed to raise his head - and that include the likes of Julius Malema, Steve Hofmeyer and the AWB thugs.
Was this oke not paid a salary all the time he was off? Do you think he sobered up in the meantime?
Mind you, I can understand his little indiscretion. Some of these garden walls are just an eyesore.
Look, see, I don't think that it's right for a judge to be pissed and slam through a residential wall, but I also think that AfriForum should calm down on their indictments of anything that moves and looks like racsism. The man grew up and lived through a severe time. In his drunken state, he obviously spoke his mind. We all do it. Drunk driving judge = big no no. A pissed human being with his own thoughts and feelings = natural. Yeah, yeah, I know judges are supposed to be impartial to all the foibles of human nature, but let's get real. Each and every one of us are vulnerable to the state of being human.
A drunk mans words are a sober mans thoughts..!
I think the lesson that anyone who gets drunk should learn is that you still keep your own thoughts and feelings to yourself because there is no law against feeling them. The brown stuff hits the fan when we vocalize our thoughts and feelings in public. Mel Gibson seriously regrets not keeping his to himself. There's a very old adage for the likes of the judge and Mel... you can think what you like but you cannot say what you like (and being drunk is no excuse).
Lauren we have paid him over 5 million rand since his incident.How long does it take you to make R5,000,000.00,and how would you like to stand before this judge in court?
Boo! So many thumbs down!! Rob, yeah, I know, he's allowed his thoughts, isn't he?
Marion, agreed, but the man was blotto, clearly. I'm simply defending his utterances (not that I like them), not his drunken driving.
Adam, it takes me about two days to make five milion. Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I wish. Ja, point taken....buuuut, my comment was about human frailty and that none of us are imune to it.
@Lauren - A convicted felon i.e. someone with a criminal record i.e. Ex-judge Motata may not hold any directorships in companies, cannot preside over legal matters, are struck from the attorney's roll i.e. cannot practice law anymore
I think we are all missing the bigger point, most of all is Afriforum missing the plot. They should rather concentrate their efforts in getting Motata disbarred, whixh is in actual fact what should happen.
but, the racism band wagon is just to wasy to jump on.
Darren Scott also spoke his mind when he was drunk and what happened to him???
Hey Lauren why don't we just all get drunk and speak our minds!! That is a ridiculous thing to say!!!!
So, you believe this vermin, after driving his Jag drunk as a skunk, slamming into a wall, verbally assaulting the innocent owner of said wall and wasting the court's time for years, he should be rewarded by allowing him to make decisions on peoples lives? Would you feel the same about this idiot if the wall was your child? Get real and spare your bunny hugging BS for a noble cause at least and let this moron return to his mudhut where he belongs!
Well said John!!
So Lauren...do you feel sorry for Darren Scott because of his racial slurs whilst also being under the influence?????
There is a saying in afrikaans: 'wat die hart van vol is...loop die mond van oor...'
He's racist period and should not be allowed to judge, ever!
Why should afriforum lay off? If it were a white judge he would of had FAR worse treatment. People in positions such as his are supposed to be impartial and set examples. Il bet you if he was trying your case with that attitude you would wuickly cry foul!!!!!
I don't agree with you Lauren. I can be pissed and swear at people for whatever reason, but I shouldn't be racist about it. We're all human beings and once we start using race to demean other human being then we're being racists and that is very dangerous to our society. I read a lot about NAZI Germany and SA Apartheid, and each time I read those stories they bring tears to my eyes. It's very painfull to learn how our fellow human beings like jews would be treated the way they were treated. We should never allow a room for racism in our society...not in our life time. The same should apply for Zenophobia. Scientifically/Biologically, race has no meaning. Why're we trying to give it an ugly meaning?
In the ANC, failure, or a criminal record is OK!!That's why the state/municipal etc, posts are filled, with buddies who are corrupt and rotten to the core.
ayes, we want we want we want
of course he wants his job back lot of ching for doing nothing much, I would not mind his job 4.6 million while not working only in SA.I worked for 35 yrs paying unemployment had to resign due to back injury sustained in border war, could not claim unemployment because i wasn't fired, I had resigned of my own accord and was only 53 at the time, as i said only in SA.
Get a job.
You are a judge not a soap star!! Can't get your job back, thank you very much!!
With the education system allowing kids to move onto the next grade with 40% pass rate I keep telling my son that he needs to aim beyond mediocre because there is 60% of the work that he will not have absorbed. If this judge is reinstated it just reinforces the attitude that mediocre (less than in this case in my opinion) is OK. Judge, become a legal advisor somewhere and see how little you can earn because of this drunken episode.
Dear Dronkgat,you are always welcome to join our firm as a shelf packer!!
Management - Solly Kramer Group
You want to see your profits dribble away?
Ohhhh... A delivery boy for a booze company. Has he applied yet?
What the R1.5million you get paid, to sit on your ar*e, and contemplate the world not enough for you? Help the unemployment issue here in SA and start a business - oh but that is actually "work". Without Government tenders of course.
What a schmuck
the only reason he wants his job back,is for the Jhonny Blue at tea time.
He wasn't drunk, he was "soberly challenged" from drinking all that tea. He's also not a racist he's "African biased". I think we are all forgetting about the true victim here - that poor perimeter wall!
Somehow I don't think we want someone with his views on the bench. In vino veritas.
Any judge that's racist can't be in power , his prejudice will always shine through like the chief justice's stance on child rape .
And this is a major problem for woman in South Africa. And a racist in power with be just as bad
We need more woman in power !!
Damn South African Sexist pigs , save South African citizens.
@jody... thanks so much for sharing that link. S-I-C-K. Tell the millions of children who are abused by people who didn't use excessive force, or actually penetrate with a penis, that they will not be haunted every day of their lives by that violation. Whether it be one violation or multiple, an innocent life has been destroyed forever because that child will never be the person he/she was before the incident. NEVER.
Law Society of Northeren Provinces why did'nt you struk this idiot from the roll?
I must say that if the reports of what he said are true I as a white person do not find them racist, in fact I don't think they even qualify as crimen injuria. Worse racial slurs are uttered on these columns every day and putting him back to work would at least mean that the money he has been paid while not working would have served a vague purpose. As far as the taxi incident is concerned let's face it, taxi's are always infringing the laws and they may have hit him rather than the other way around. Even if he hit them he didn't kill anyone and they kill people every day and get away with it.
I disliked your comment!
am a candidate attorney Gail and i agree with u 110%
And this wino wants to sit on the bench and expect us to believe he is impartial? He is supposed to set an example! They should use his drunken face as a drink and drive campaign!
This court used to be yours but it aint no more mof@cka!
You have to be kidding me.....this individual has proven himself to be reckless and abusive , is disdainful of the law, and is a very weak example of someone who should carry the mantle of Judge. Then again...many strange things are happening in South Africa and some dodgy precebents are being set.
The man has been tried and convicted how on Gods green (or not so green) earth can he want to be re-instated to the Bench?????? Silly little drunkard! What I do like here is that he is compaining that things are dragging and he is being prejudiced, didnt have such a big mouth about swift justice when he was the one dragging things out, did he?
this obsession of Afriforum with regards to successful black individuals is starting to annoy me...get over it now!We can't change the past but the way they are operating its like they are trying to ease their guilt by implicating blacks as also racists. Let go now please, let Motata do his job or you will be in Court next time saying the legal system of South Africa is Black and racist!

Hi guys I am trying to calculate two colums that say
Beginning Date 5:00pm
Ending Date 7:00pm
in a table from a database I inherted. The data type for these two is nvarchar(255)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StudentActivity]( [Event Key field] [int] NOT NULL, [Activity Date] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Event ID] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Activity Location] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Event Name] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Primary Catagory] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Event Address] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Explain Other] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Activity] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Event City] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Beginning Time] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Ending Time] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Total Time] [float] NULL, [First Subject] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Total 1st Subject Hours] [float] NULL, [Second Subject] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Total 2nd Subject Hours] [float] NULL, [Third Subject] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Total 3rd Subject Hours] [float] NULL, [Fourth Subject] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Total 4th Subject Hours] [float] NULL, [Student First Name] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Student Last Name] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [ParentID] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Instructor] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Accommodations made] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Covered during Session] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Problems] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Other Comments] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [Services] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [State Category] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [State Services] [nvarchar](255) NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_'Student Activity$'] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (
I am trying to get it add the two colums (this is the format I got it in)
Beginning Date + Ending Date = 2.0hrs
5:00pm + 7:00pm = 2.0hrs
How exactly would I do that?

First, you change the data type for the columns to DATETIME...
Oh wait, you probably want to do this the hard way. I can do that too!
SELECT DateDiff(second, b, e) / 3.6e3 FROM (SELECT [Beginning Time] AS b, [Ending Time] AS e FROM [dbo].[StudentActivity] AS z1 WHERE 1 = IsDate([Beginning Time]) AND 1 = IsDate([Ending Time])) AS z2

If this is SQL 2008, you can start to take advantage of the new TIME datatype. But that would require you impose some rework on the client, which they probably will not go for.

Can you tell us something about the history/origin of this table design? This looks like an automatically generated table.With kind regards . . . . . SQL Server 2000/2005/2012
Grabel's Law: 2 is not equal to 3 -- not even for very large values of 2.

Pat, that's not nearly NZDFy enough!
Desi - the answer is always going to be "use the correct datatype", which is either datetime, or as MCrowley has mention time in SQL Server 2008.
With the appropriate datatype, you can use easy-peasy inbuilt functions such as DateDiff() to get the answer required.

The trashing of Standard de Liege comes as a surprise to some as the two teams drew in the first leg earlier.16 April 2008
BELGIUM - Tuesday's semi-final match in the Belgian Cup saw surprising results as AA Gent thrashed Standard de Liege 4 - 0 during the second leg of this fixture.
Earlier AA Gent and Standard drew in the first leg 2 - 2.
Standard currently top the Belgian First Division and seem unassailable, but any hope of a double quickly evaporated as AA Gent, the Buffaloes, shot one goal after another into the net.
Standard coach Michel Preud'homme had chosen to rest several of his key players ahead of next weekend's important match against Anderlecht in the First Division.
Foley, Ruiz, Moia and Vermouth all scored for AA Gent.
In the other semi-final, Germinal Beerschot play Anderlecht on Wednesday night.
Anderlecht won the first leg 1 - 0.

Introduction: 3D Printing Records for a Fisher Price Toy Record Player
A little while ago I stumbled across an old toy record player made by Fisher Price in the 1970s, and decided that what it really needed was some new tunes. I got thinking about it, reverse engineered the way it was encoded, got out my trusty CNC mill and created an Instructable all about it right here.
I was blown away by the response to it, but I only know of one person who had a goat milling their own. Whilst the mill did a great job (and I explained how to convert your own too), a CNC mill is not the sort of thing that everyone has access too.
So as promised, I decided that a 3D printed version would follow to give more people a chance to get creative. More people have a 3D printer or have access to one. And even if you don't, once you have the STL file there are plenty of places that will bring your creation to life and mail you a physical copy.
I thought about just adding to my previous Instructable, but to be honest it's only the music editing side of things that's the same. Everything else from the file creation to the production is very different. I thought a new Instructable would be neater.
Anyway, let's get on with creating your masterpiece...
Step 1: What You'll Need
For my previous Instructable you needed a CNC mill and some acrylic sheet. Now all you need is some free software. If you have a 3D printer then great; if not, you can get still get a record created for you.
Attached you'll find the new version of my Fisher Price music editing software. It's included as an executable and (if you don't trust randomly downloaded software from the internet) the C# source code is there too. Feel free to take a nose around in the source code and compile it with the free version of Visual C# 2010 Express.
You'll also need a copy of OpenSCAD. This amazing software allows the scripting of 3D CAD objects and is what turns the idea of what you want into the STL file that a 3D printer accepts.
Wow - all this software and no need to pay a penny for any of it.
If this all sounds like too much trouble, then you can just open one of the pre-generated STL files. Your jukebox comprises of Stairway to Heaven, the Star Wars theme and You are my Sunshine. If none of those float your boat then don't complain... get editing. I'd love to hear what you can do.
Step 2: Editing the Music
First fire up my music editing software. This software will let you edit your tune and preview it so see how it sounds before you print it.
The software is admittedly pretty basic. It's not exactly sophisticated musical software but the player is not exactly hifi equipment. It does the job and I hope you'll find it easy to use.
Click where you want to add a note and click again to remove it. Click on the blue + if you want to add a gap. Click on the red X if you want to delete some notes and shuffle everything up. Click the Play button to preview your tune.
The left hand side of the musical stave shows all the note that the player can play. You'll find they are most of the notes from a C major scale and cover about 2 octaves. There are no sharps of flats and a few notes are missing. I guess that's because the original 10 nursery rhymes it can play just didn't need them.
Once you've finished your masterpiece (or more likely transposed someone else's tune) it's time to create the physical product. Click "Build / Create SCAD file..." in the editing software. (There's also the option of gcode files if you were going to CNC mill the disc.) A file with the same name as your music file and an extension of scad will be the result.
You can now create double sided discs! When creating the SCAD file you'll get the following options:
- Disc thickness. You can create 3mm or 5mm discs
- Single or double sided. Double sided discs should be 5mm thick. You can also select the music for the second side
- Song title on the disc. You can now have the song title embossed on the disc surface.
- Render quality. If your mucking around and making changes, a lower quality cirlce will render quicker.
Of course, all the options are easily found in the SCAD file which is plain text. If you want to create a chunky 2cm thick disc then go ahead and edit the file.
Step 3: Using OpenSCAD to Generate the STL File
The next step is simple, but can take a while.
The Fisher Price editing software has dynamically created the scad file which contains all the 3D modelling instructions needed to create your record. If you've not yet installed OpenSCAD then now is the time to do so.
Open the file and all you'll see is the generated script in a window on the left hand side. Press F6 and your script will be run and a 3D rendering will appear. The file is set to use 100 straight lines to create each circle. This means that the circles will be smooth but the rendering may take over 10 minutes. If you're mucking around and are less concerned about accurancy and would rather have some speed, simply remove or comment out the line that says "$fn = 100;". If you think that's slow, a double-sided disc can take about 50 minutes to generate!
You can now see how your disc will look. Spin it. Flip it over. Zoom in/out. Your musicis on its way to becoming a physical product. The next step is to select "Design / Export as STL..." from the menu and OpenSCAD will create a STL file. This won't take as long as the calculations have already been done. This file is what your 3D printer will be expecting.
Step 4: Printing Your Work
So, what are you going to do with this STL file? If you have (or have access to) a 3D printer that can manage a print of about 12.1cm (about 4.8") in diameter then get printing!
If you don't, then there are plenty of places that will print this for you. One of the most popular is Shapeways. They'll produce a 3D print for you in various materials from about $30. In fact, you'll find mine are already there:
- Stairway to Heaven (3mm single-sided)
- Star Wars theme (3mm single-sided)
- Both the above on one disc (5mm double-sided)
- You are my Sunshine (3mm single-sided)
Obviously the final result will depend on what printer you use. The ones that were produced on the Objet printer that Instructables use have turned out great. In the photo you can see four discs. The purple is a Fisher Price original and the orange one my CNC milled version. The other discs are 3D printed in green ABS-like material and transparent "Vero clear" plastic. The both play well on the player, although the Vero clear has sharper definition than the ABS and the transparent disc definitely looks the best.
A few people have asked to see a video of the printed record playing, so here's the final result.
If you check the comments you'll see that Timmmyboy has has some success printing on a more typical home (Fused Deposition Modelling style) printer, but getting the very thin (0.7mm) ridges on the disc is not easy.
I can't get the SCAD file to open without crashing. I can render a blank disk, but any notes kill it. Can you help?
A different version of the SCAD file, made for easier editing and 3D
printing can be found here:
I could use some help with composing song though..
How do you figure out what the tones in the Record Editor are going to be on the final disc? Trying to create some custom discs and without having to buy a duplicate and find out what the tones are on my own
There's a app for that ;-) Guitar tuning app can help you id the notes. But the notes are (Note, pinnumber):
Would like to make some of these (CNC'ed) for a project, but do not have the tech know-how. Willing to pay for someone to help me out. Thanks, T
of all thank you so much for this project upload. I ran into that same problem
with the error window message popping up and what fixed it for me was the
location of the "Resources" folder wasn't in the right directory. A simple copy
and paste in the right pathway fixed it for me. My question though however is
with the record player software. Is it possible to scroll left and right? I
have a fairly lengthy song that requires the 24 double note but I found that in
order to make my song work I have to build it in the double note. I cant just
build it in the 12 and double it at the end. The reason why Im asking this is
because when I make my file I can see that the song only goes halfway around
the disk and I would like to add more to the song. Thank you in advance for any help.
Does this player work?
No. The current retro look version is electronic and nothing like the mechanical original. Your best bet is eBay to find an original one.
Thanks again for this project! I'll post links to some STL files here once I finalize them. For the time being, I wanted to give a little something back by posting the text module I wrote to replace the title module in FRP 2.2 that doesn't seem to work with the latest iteration of Open SCAD.
The text of this NEW TEXT MODULE is posted at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FH2lhGEBdQpek... and assumes that you're creating a two-sided disc. It may not be the most elegant possible solution, but it works. See attached images for renderings - I'll post images and video after I actually print my new discs.
Hints: 1. My text module should completely replace Fred's original title module toward the end of his generated SCAD files, but it does not contain the final "Create Disk" command, so be sure to leave that in your SCAD file. 2. Make sure to reproduce the tabs and other spacing exactly, or the syntax will be rejected by Open SCAD. 3. You'll need to play around with the placement of the text on the disc surface, by altering numbers (esp. for x-axis) in the brackets after the translate command. 4. If you don't want to include the subtitles on either/both obverse and reverse, just delete the unnecessary lines of code. (It's possible you could adapt this code for single-sided records, but I haven't played with that myself.) 5. As written, the code creates extruded letters above the disc surface as on the original FP records, but you could change the linear_extrude height value to engrave the text instead. 6. Remember that Open SCAD accepts Unicode characters, so you can create non-English text (I did Hebrew subtitles on my disks) in that way. Example: text = "\u05E9\u05DC\u05D5\u05DD" would spell Shalom in Hebrew. You can also specify text direction (so I added direction = "rtl" for the Hebrew text).
Have fun, everyone! Hope to see more projects posted soon, with titles!
Thanks for for contribution to this. I haven't looked at this project for a while so SCAD may have moved on a bit.

Hi Fred, love the project, got a Fisher Price player coming in the mail, looking forward to cooking some discs. I came across your work since I have a Tomy Tuneyville Choo Choo that functions similarly, but relies on the levers to open airflow to a harmonica-like device. The record is double-sided (one song per side) with gear teeth around the perimeter as the discs are played vertically. Notes are triggered in a similar fashion to the Fisher Price record player, with the main functional difference being sustained notes. I'm about to have a look at the program as you have kindly provided. Would adding a geometric modality to the program be difficult? I have a number of discs to work out the note assignment and to extract dimensions from. The tooth pitch for the perimeter of the disc may be the toughest part. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks for such a great project, and introducing me to dynamic script-driven 3D composition.
First of all, i d'like to thank you for this amazing work. I searched for a couple of months the way to make a music box with my favorite song or any little music i love.
So now, i bought a fisher Price player on ebay and i'm looking for a 3D printing service. I have found a fantastic FAbLab in Paris where i live.
So, i created a lullaby with your "FrefRecordPlayer" but i do not convert my music on a real object (virtually) . I always have the same result with OpenScad and http://openjscad.org/ I join the screen shot.
Do you have any idea why the result is wrong ?
Thanks again for your work.
I might have missed it (reading while I'm trying to entertain a toddler), but I can't find the STL files for your discs anywhere? I downloaded the zip file & found the source stuff, and also checked the shapeways page, but couldn't download from there either (page not found error). Hoping to avoid having to reinvent the wheel! Thanks!
Looks like Fisher Price re-released a new version of the record player.
Unfortunately judging by the reviews, they completely removed the mechanical music box aspect and replaced it with electronically generated music.
The ridges on the records are completely smooth without tines or bumps. Looks like the number of grooves match up and depress a number of buttons in the headshell that tell the microchip what to play.
It looks like it's possible to reprogram or gut the electronics to get the record player to do custom songs, but it's no longer physically intuitive.
Could you perhaps post the "old" broken for some people version - as I cannot get the 'second side' prompt as seen on the next page to prompt at all, it just creates the scad file immediately.
Sorry posty1 - I just realised what was wrong. I'd updated the source code in the ZIP file but hadn't updated the pre-compiled executable. Please try again and it should allow you to create a double-sided record correctly.
I managed to print out a test one, but I think I've somehow screwed up the second side (I want them to be double sided - I've done enough to replace the default set as a christmas present).
even though my printout was faulty (first thing I've ever done, had to shrink by 1% to get it to fit on the platform, warped a bit,).
The auto generated version works (just, in the right state on the player, it's tight) - but getting the second side to work, I think I've screwed up something.
All I did was take the example star wars / stairway example and paste in the auto generated notes into relevant sections.
the second side I think is somehow an "inverse" version of my song? it sounds nothing like it.
was there anything special you had to do to make the second side work?
I would appreciate some further detail on how to create the second side please - as a single sided record is a bit weird.
Image attached just to prove I did it :)
please note - I don't actually get the prompt as pictured above where i can choose if i can generate a single side or double - I tried doing it manually.
I finally found the time to upload v2.2. I hope this has fixed the issues that some people had. Sorry it took so long.
Hi. This is fantastic, and so much fun!
I am having a bit of trouble generating the scad file though. When I select build-generate sccad, I get an error message complaining about the file path. I've tried editing the software, but not being much of a programmer, have had no luck.
I also have trouble converting the .scad file into a .stl file using open scad. I find that even when I use the example files (stairway to heaven for example) openscad is unable to compile or render them, because it can't find the required libraries.
If you have any ideas I'd really appreciate hearing them.I'm sorry that I haven't been able to figure it out myself. It is a really slick system you made, and I feel like I should be able to sort it out.
Thanks for your comments. Someone else mentioned similar problems. I'll take a look when I get a chance.
In the meantime, the scad file is just text, so you can edit that directly. It probably can't find a file called write.scad so you could just remove the line that references that.
Good call. That seems to solve the compile/render problem. It's (slowly) rendering right now.Thanks!I'll keep playing with your software and see if I can find out how why I couldn't generate the scad file.
I'm not sure why you're having problems, but email the fpr file over to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll generate the scad and stl files for you. I found that most home FDM printers are just about up to the job, but it might be tricky to print well.
Hey, me again...
So I decided to try and compile and I'm getting a syntax error. I have to wonder why I'm having so many issues right out of the gate...
Can anyone lend a hand? I am trying to put together a record for my wife's birthday. The points I'll get from this would be tremendous (not to mention legitimize my obsession with 3D printing).
I have gotten as far as creating the music with your software.
However, when I selected 'Create SCAD File' I was told there was no FisherPriceTemplate.scad file in Executables/Resources.
So I created a Resources dir in my Executables directory and copied FisherPriceTemplate.scad from the SourceCode dir.
So now, when I select 'Create SCAD File' I get the message that one was successfully created. BUT I don't get the handy-dandy 'how would you like your disk' dialog.
Am I/have I done something wrong?
Buy 3D printer first according to their own needs to determine the machine level,after compared to the same level of machine price, choose a suitable machine.Interested in 3D print can log onto the http://goo.gl/6l6j29 or http://goo.gl/2wt6LU view details.
Hi, I finally managed to get my hands on a fisher price record player and dug your instructable up from my bookmarks.
After making a tune in the software, I tried exporting it to OpenScad. But then I ran into some issues;
- I do not get the option window prompt when exporting (I did manage to change the settings in OpenScad itself, I think)
- When rendering the file in OpenScad, I'm getting very odd results. The cylinders go all over the place and the final model is clearly not what it should be. I tried two different versions of OpenScad, but getting the same results in both. Am I missing some dependencies or something? I made sure Write.scad is in the same directory, but still things look very odd, I'm now suspecting things go bad when exporting from the music editor ... but unsure. Any tips?
After some more trial and error I found the problem. For some reason, when exporting the OpenScad file the resulting code takes localisation settings into account. In my region we use comma's "," instead of points "." in some cases. So once I switched my localisation settings to US on operating system level, the discs gets generated perfectly. Looking forward to my first print!
fred27 - I'm still totally obsessed with this project! Let's do a deal. You send one Fischer Price record player to Instructables HQ* and I'll mail you (1) 3D printed disk from our Objet production machines. (We'll print out two disks most likely and keep one for ourselves to show off to folks who visit the office...with your permission of course.)
If this deal isn't sweet enough I'll send you (2) 3D printed disks! That's like $1,000 in print material for a 5 dollar children's toy! Wow, you drive a hard bargain.
*I'm the workshop editor for Instructables, and also, a little crazy.
PS - our print process has a cost/gram that's just ever so slightly more than shapeways.
Be careful. The "retro" battery powered version is not the same thing at all. It may look much the same but the "record" just presses a couple of buttons and the music is electronically generated. It won't play one of these custom records. I've see reviews from quite a few disappointed purchasers (e.g. on Amazon). The one you linked to is one of these new versions.
I just learned this the hard way, too. I bought a player on eBay, was excited to open it, and... found it was the wrong kind of player that has grooves to depress certain pins, so it knows what song to play, but not actual "music box" raised bits to make the actual notes.
I guess I should have read all the comments first, but I figured the eBay link would be good enough. Drat!
Thanks for the link fernxtwo, but I'd like to support fred27 directly if possible and support the awesome work they are doing.
.... Dang.. $1000? That could buy me
A. 1 Fischer Price record
B. A nice, 2009/10 macbook pro :)
It must make some nice quality stuff for you to keep that around :)
I may have been exaggerating just a wee bit when saying it was $1000 worth of print material. The Object stuff comes to somewhere between $.30 and $1.00 per gram depending on a variety of circumstances. Costs of prints also vary widely based upon the design and geometry.
That sounds like a fair deal - although I'll have to search eBay and probably pay about $50 for one. Can you send me the correct address so I can get it shipped to you? I'm in the UK so will get one sent direct from a US-based eBayer.
I found a UK-based company who would print discs on their Objet 30 printer. They quoted me around $300 so definitely more than Shapeways.
You're more than welcome to print one for yourself. That's what the Instructable is all about! Also feel free to add lettering, the Instructables logo, whatever you like.
just had an interesting email from jbwisdom, and thought I'd share it with you all
I just signed up to instructables so I could ask you a couple questions about your awesome custom fisher price records! I am an artist, and I recently recreated some of the original fisher price records in glass, and they actually play. I am really pleased with the results. The glass is beautiful and the sound is really nice. I love to make kinetic/interactive work, so I am trying to develop this project a little further and start customizing my own music boxes. My question is: I tried downloading the program and your instructable folder, but I can't get it to... go. Do these work on Macs? If not, do you suggest anything for a person using a Mac? I am also experimenting with the little music boxes that use cylinders to play a piece of music, so I'd love to play around on this program to see if it is a good way for me to design a template for that format. Any feedback would be much appreciated!
Unfortunately my software only works on Windows. I've developed it using Microsoft tools so it won't run on a Mac. The program really just works out where on a disc corresponds to the note that you want to play. For the 3D printed version it then creates a script for OpenSCAD to create the model and add the "pins" that operate the music box. OpenSCAD will run on a Mac so you could use this to create cylinders with your own music. I'd love to see your work if you've got a link to it. The glass disc sounds impressive. I've uploaded my discs to Shapeways and they can print in a variety of material including ceramics, but I had my doubts about how accurately they could be made.

gloves and or jackets, question is which are more waterproof leather or textile
I understand both can be porous and need to be proofed is it down to individual items or is 1 material better than an other?
Textile v leather
gloves and or jackets, question is which are more waterproof leather or textile
I understand both can be porous and need to be proofed is it down to individual items or is 1 material better than an other?
Textile v Leather
Textiles generally far superior in the rain and or cold. They are ofter more comfortable and easier to put on over your clothes etc. Leather still has better abration resistance than any man-made material when sliding down the road, although Dainese staff assure me that the latest textiles are not far behind these days. Topp spec waterproof gloves usually have leather on palm. Nice to have a set of both in the long run, but textiles the more practical of the two.
Which are more waterproof?
Most waterproof textiles have waterproof yet breathable membranes inside, either between the shell and lining or bonded to the outer shell. Decent quality waterproof breathable (Goretex or equivalent) textile gear does exactly what it says on the tin.
A very few, very expensive, leathers are genuinely waterproof, thanks to Gore-tex Pro-Shell, but AFAIK all other leathers eventually leak, though they may well be shower proof...
textile v leather
The only instance where leather is a better option than textile is when
you're sliding down the road and then it's always superior.
In all other conditions a good brand textile wins out, they're warmer or
cooler depending on the liner being in or out. They're waterproof or at
least more waterproof than leather, which is at best water resistant if
treated continuously.
Leather made to measure can be very comfortable but on the whole textile
wins out.
Good quality textile garments incorporate "armour" which improves their
in a crash situation but modern leather also has "armour" so they're always
going to be the better option once you've left the bike and are sliding,
shitting and shredding.
Textiles for me are a compromise too far.
I wear two-piece leathers for their abrasion protection. My Furygan jacket and Wolf perforated jeans with additional thin layering works well in all conditions.
I carry compact, cheapish, two-piece waterproofs to go over the top when necessary, although I find a faired bike offers some protection from wind and rain and it has to be properly raining before I need the thin waterproof layers. They're almost totally water and wind proof, although they're like a sauna if worn in less than severe conditions. They dry quickly though.
Winter gloves seem to lose their waterproofing and warmth fairly quickly so for the past few years I've kept my Alpinestars summer gloves, using silk liners. Most water ingress is through the cuffs so make sure your waterproof sleeves fit over the cuff, not under.
Torrential rain will eventually find a way in, admittedly. A buff around the neck helps to keep the cold out.
**Leathers **
are generally far more aerodynamic. You will feel the difference between riding in leathers and riding in textiles (which tend to be more bulky) once you start to "push on" a bit.
Textiles are not allowed on track days.
Horses for courses though, if I'm only pootling about on my C90, then I would wear kevlar lined jeans and a light weight textile jacket, if I'm green laning I wear textiles, otherwise I wear 2 piece leathers.

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey has issued the final regulations to the Earned Sick Time Law, M.G.L. c. 149, § 148C, which will become effective on July 1, 2015.
We have previously reported on the Earned Sick Time Law here and here. After conducting public hearings and accepting comments, the Attorney General made a number of substantive changes to the proposed regulations. Here are several new provisions contained in the final regulations that are beneficial to employers:
- Employers may require earned sick time to run concurrently with time off provided by other leave laws, including the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, the Massachusetts Parental Leave Act, the Massachusetts Domestic Violence Leave Act and the Small Necessities Leave Act.
- The notice section no longer provides that employees need to make a "good faith effort" to provide advance notice before using sick time. Instead, employees are required to provide advance notice for the need for earned sick time, except in emergencies.
- The following provisions have been added: "Earned sick time cannot be used as an excuse to be late for work without an authorized purpose...," and employees "may not accept a specific shift assignment with the intention of calling out sick for all or part of that shift."
- There are now additional circumstances in which employers are permitted to require the employee to produce documentation to support the need for earned sick time and additional types of documentation that employers may require.
- It is clear that holiday pay incentives that provide additional compensation for working on the days immediately before and after a holiday are permissible.
- Additional guidance is included regarding the requirements for alternative paid leave policies, including vacation policies and lump sum policies.
A comparison of the proposed regulations and the final regulations is available here.
Employers are required to post a notice prepared by the Attorney General and either provide a copy of the notice to all eligible employees or include the employer's earned sick time policy or paid leave policy in a manual or handbook. The Attorney General's notice is available here.
