Setting Up Your Portable Record Player For DVS with Serato Vinyl
Setting Up Your Portable Record Player For Digital Vinyl
Looking to find out the best way to setup your portablist system for use with DVS? You're in the right place! Fist off – study the photo I've posted above. This shows you how all the wires go together, along with my recommendations for hardware and software. Ready to begin? Let's get connected!
Which Software Should I Use?
You have a few options in this area, from Serato DJ, Traktor or even Rekordbox. But for maximum portability you don't want to carry your laptop around right? So here's my recommendation – try out EDJing scratch from the guys who make the (also brilliant) Mixfader. It's easy to use, works great on iPad or iPhone and is definitely the most versatile and scratch like of any of the mobile softwares I've tried. Another option to consider is the multi talented DJ Player Pro – it's similarity to Traktor may make it more suitable for people coming to portable scratching from using Traktor on their PC or Mac.
Connecting Your Portable Record Player.
The easiest way I've found to connect your portable record player to your iPad or iPhone is by using Apple's camera connection cable. This allows you to use the USB connection out of your portable and connect it directly to your iOs device – effectively using it as an external sound card. Older portables may not have this USB feature, so do check yours before you go down this route. If you don't have a USB model available you can still make this work, but you'll need an external soundcard that is USB standards compliant. A popular choice for this which includes an it's own crossfader is the Akai AMX. Unfortunately to use the AMX you will need a powered USB hub to supply enough juice for everything to work properly. Fingers crossed a new product from Roland the Roland Go:Mixer may well change this, it's powered from phone approach makes it much more portable. If it is standards compliant it should be supported by the current mobile DJ softwares straight out of the box.
Using A Portable Crossfader
There are a few different portable crossfaders on the market at the moment, with long standing models available from champions of the portablist scene Raiden heading up the field. The best avaialable currently in my opinion is the latest model from Raiden – the RXI-F1 . This fader does require charging via it's usb connector to make it work, but it contains not only a top rated contactless fader, but also a pre-amp for it's output, making it possible to plug in headphones directly. Other contenders in this area include models from Stokyo, Jesse Dean and Frisk.
The basic idea when using DVS is to take the output from your tablet, phone or laptop and plug it through the fader, allowing you to chop the sample in and out. A second input on your fader will take the beat for you to scratch to – usually from a second device as shown in the photo. The output from the fader then goes either direct into your headphones, or out into a portable speaker – or perhaps even your mum's stereo.
Digital Vinyl
Finally you'll need a timecode vinyl to scratch with. For your choices here I'd certainly recommend Serato records over Traktor, as there are many more playable grooves on the Serato seven inch vinyls. A longer run out space on the Traktor discs means that when cut-down to seven inches there is little play area remaining. You can buy your choice of cut down seven inch coloured Serato vinyls from out store where they are available for delivery in the UK and across Europe.
A quick question for the Non-USB portablist's wishing to try and setup DVS via applications on smartphones and such. Has anyone had any success in setting anything up? Off the top of my head I have thought of a solution in theory, whether it would work is a whole different ball game.
Could you use a USB on the go cable from your phone/tablet via micro USB to connect to a budget USB sound card connected to your turntable via its RCA outputs? From the sound card you can connect your amplification and such.
Has anyone had any joy with a DVS setup of any kind not using USB?
Nice article!
Is it possible to use a MacBookPro with a lightning connection and Serato on it with the setup you described? My brother's got a PT01-Skratch and I want to hook him up. (no iPhone or iPad though)
Actually, I'm owning an old Vestax Handytrax without USB and therefore it's out of reach so far for me. I found that the Go:Mixer is already available! Any experience with it?!

Food Intolerance and Low Carb Diets
Food intolerance is a pharmacological reaction to the consumption of certain foods. In many cases, food intolerance may appear to be
the side-effect of pharmacological drugs, but in fact, it is generally caused by the consumption of natural foods products, additives, or the combination of both.

College Weight Gain
Students today are faced with the serious reality of unwanted weight gain as they enter college. A recent study by Cornell University found that on average, college freshman gain about 0.
The College Student's Guide for EASY WEIGHT LOSS!
Weight loss is a hot topic among college students today, especially considering the fact that most college freshmen gain half a pound every week! Since the schedule of college students is almost always hectic, weight loss efforts are not a priority. With so little extra time it is impractical to join the latest diet fad or commit to sweating in the gym for hours at a time.
Cafeteria At Fault for College Weight Gain
College weight gain is at an all time high, and as students continue to pack on the pounds at an increasing rate, we naturally want to know where the blame lies for this growing epidemic. Since food consumption contributes significantly to weight gain, is it safe to assume that cafeterias are responsible for the expanding waistlines of our students? Read on for three reasons why the cafeteria food you eat is making you fat, and tips to help you stop the weight gain.
Cruisin to Lose
Recently, I won a family cruise on the Regis and Kelly talk show. For a person whose business is fitness that is a good news, bad news dilemma.
It's Not Just About Dieting
You may not like what I'm about to say, but dieting alone will not help you to lose weight. You have to give your body the exercise it needs.
Throw Out the Scale
Do you know someone that is obsessed with the scale? Someone who hops on the scale morning, noon and night? And stepping off each time with feelings of frustration or disappointment? With obesity on the rise and weight loss a common household topic, its easy to become obsessed with weight, diets and the scale. This multi-billion dollar industry brings about constant marketing and advertisement on the next solution or quick fix that hits sixty five percent of American's weight issues.
Weight Loss, Exercise, and Bodybuilding Tips - Keeping Your Body-Fat Low: Part 7 of 10
People usually quit weightloss and exercise programs for one of two reasons:
boredom or lack of results, maybe even both!I cannot explain this, nor did I learn this in a classroom, but twenty years in the
field proves it to me all the time- after about ten weeks the body starts catching
onto what your workout will consist of that day. I believe that your body knows after
awhile exactly what you are going to put it through, adapts to it and stops progress.
Green Tea And Weight Loss
There's recently been a LOT in the weight loss news concerning green tea.Green tea's weight loss effects have been causing more and more people to start sipping the ancient Japanese brew.

St. Onge Company's Bryan Jensen was quoted in a recent article concerning intermodal transport trends for MHI Solutions. The article, entitled "Intermodal," reviews how the rise of e-commerce has affected transportation strategy. New regulation in trucking has caused it to trend downward, placing a renewed importance on transportation management software and data warehouses.
"The Internet culture and the demand for faster everything puts stresses on intermodal," said Bryan Jensen, chairman and executive vice president for MHI member St. Onge. "The cycle time needs to go down. We see more use of an air leg in transportation than ever before. When intermodal first became a buzzword, everyone meant stack trains. Now you see companies like Amazon experimenting with using small, local airfields to air freight into a distrubution center and do the last leg from there."

So, as you can see, we don't have much time for blogging these days…
Category Archives: Situation
Photo Art Friday – Embrace
Photo Art Friday – Connected
From a session with the youngster…
The connection between a human and a horse is neither simple nor necessarily straightforward, but always beautiful when nurtured with respect and mutual understanding…
For this series I have used low-level lighting photos together with Kim Klassen's texture Return, and a few adjustments to reduce saturation and soften the images.
First baby-swim photo session
A while ago, Eric's mother suggested that we might do a photo session when she took Eric for a baby-swim at the local pool. I readily agreed. We set a date, and yesterday was it.
Obviously, I couldn't get in the water with them (I mean, I want a new camera, but there's no need to get drastic about it…), but with sensible clothes and a fortunately otherwise deserted baby pool, I could lie flat on my belly at the edge of the pool and as long as I kept a steady grip on my camera and a healthy distance from Eric's water antics (they primarily consisted of exultant splashing) I think we did a rather decent job of our first pool session!
Some favorites for your viewing pleasure… Eric is just such a delightful child to work with! 🙂
And of course:
Having a ball…
Fototriss 180 – Old
Thanks for any and all votes in the competition last week – I enjoyed the ride and congratulate the winners!
For this week's theme, I admit the shots are new, and the experience is new to (most of) the young couples involved, but the tradition is old. And the forms are even older… So here are pictures from the abiturient ball in Linköping, 2 June 2012 – a little styled, the better to suit the theme… 🙂

Question to the Prime Minister on change in the EU
02/07/2013 09:46:00
Today I asked the Prime Minister a question on change in the EU:
Gavin Barwell (Croydon Central) (Con): The Leader of the Opposition rightly mentioned youth unemployment, which has fallen by 15% in my constituency since Labour left office. One way to drive it down further is to expand the single market, so I welcome what the Prime Minister said about accession negotiations with Serbia. Does he agree that the long-term aim should be an EU from the Atlantic to the Urals, but that if the EU is to include more diverse countries, it needs to change fundamentally?
The Prime Minister: I absolutely agree with what my hon. Friend says. Britain has always believed in a wider, looser Europe and it is that that we should be fighting for. As he says, if we want it to be that sort of Europe, it must make changes and must be more flexible. The countries in the eurozone will need greater integration, but if we are to be attractive to other countries as a European Union, we must be more flexible and competitive.

Demi Lovato – Sorry Not Sorry (mp3)
Demi Lovato is going to chuckle in their faces. The pop vocalist turns action hero in "Sorry Not Sorry," which dropped at the stroke of midnight.The "Sure" artist is in fight mode on her most recent number, which is created by Zaire Koalo, Trevor Brown and Warren "Oak" Felder and will undoubtedly be embraced as a girl-power anthem.On it she sings, "Payback is a bad bitch And baby I'm the with a savage Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)."Today was the enormous uncover for a track Lovato had prodded on her web-based social networking accounts with instrumental bits and title hints.
Demi Lovato's most recent single "Sad Not Sorry" has arrived.The 24-year-old vocalist started prodding the track via web-based networking media a week ago, sharing the release date, track pieces, and shots from the ongoing video featuring cameos by Wiz Khalifa and Paris Hilton,"I hope this song makes you get off your seat and dance like you never have before," Demi composed. "This is an anthem for anyone who's ever been hated on and has risen above it and come out from the side like a fucking savage.".

Trusts come in many forms including irrevocable and revocable living trusts. They are used in Estate Planning to assist people in planning the distribution of their estate upon death. They can also be used in particular instances to manage the assets of persons who are disabled or otherwise cannot handle their own financial affairs. The majority of trusts prepared by the law office of Garry J. Bowman are revocable living trusts.
A revocable living trust is a legal document that can, in some cases, partially substitute for a will. With a revocable living trust (also known as a revocable inter vivos trust or grantor trust), your assets are put into the trust, administered for your benefit during your lifetime and transferred to your beneficiaries when you die—all without the need for court involvement.
Most people name themselves as the trustee in charge of managing their living trust's assets. By naming yourself as trustee, you can remain in control of the assets during your lifetime. In addition, you can revoke or change any terms of the trust at any time as long as you are still competent. (The terms of the trust will become irrevocable when you die if you so indicate.)
In your trust agreement, you will also name a successor trustee (a person or institution) who will take over as the trustee and manage the trust's assets if you should ever become unable to do so. Your successor trustee would also take over the management and distribution of your assets when you die.
A living trust does not, however, remove all need for a will. Generally, you would still need a will—known as a pour over will—to cover any assets that have not been transferred to the trust.
You should consult attorney Garry J. Bowman to assist you in the preparation of a living trust, your will and other estate planning documents. Also, keep in mind that your choice of trustees is extremely important. That trustee's management of your living trust assets will not be automatically subject to direct court supervision.

Reapers of Souls and Magic takes the reader on the ultimate quest. After the Gods created the Rohrlands, they created the Elfahee to give breath and life to their once barren world. The Elfaheen created mystical and wonderful creatures of legend to fill the world. Everything was as it should be, until pride, envy, and rebellion crept into their idyllic realm. Led by Lavalor, thirteen Elfaheen used the power given by the Gods to create Asmordia, in their arrogance they inadvertently created the multitudes of multiverses, including Earth.
Now, Tetra, another of the original children of the Gods, must now save them all. Filled with innocence and naivety she is forced to ally with Lavalor to save both, the Rohrlands and his corrupted realm, Asmordia. To do this she must find the three outworlders from the realm of Earth and send them home, or kill them, to prevent the Im'Shallene, the end of all things.
Tetra must battle against Lavalor's dark desire of rule and independence from the Gods, but also her own unrealized inner demons.

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — Despite large-scale protests against Burkina Faso's proposed new senate, a committee charged with reviewing the plan for the new legislative body concluded that the government should go ahead.
The 25-member committee said in its final report that they agree with setting up the new senate, but suggest the body should be reduced from 89 to 71 senators, of which 20 will be appointed by the president instead of 29. It means he would control 28 percent of the seats instead of 32 percent.
The committee was created by President Blaise Compaore after mass protests against the new body in July. Critics claim the senate will be used to change the country's term limits, in order to allow Compaore to run once his last term expires in 2015.

you convinced me I HIV negative 6 years ago, today my daughter could have AIDS
Hi Doctor
Its been several years since my last post to you; below I will highlight the previous posts. As I suspected many years ago I have indeed infected my daughter with an HIV like virus, I only say hiv like virus and not hiv because of all my many many HIV tests have been negative and so have my daughters Elisa test done yesterday along with a barrage if blood tests for Hep A,B,C, autoimmune tests. My daughter is in hospital after being sick for 6 weeks straight, abdominal pains, body pains etc. A FBC was done hand the results are as follows: WBC 2.7 low CRP 21 Neutrophils ABS 1.0 result Neutropenia if which I have read is advanced stage of aids Liver Gamma gt 158 ALT 161 AST 151
Her liver is fighting an infection of which the tests results so far show negative for autoimmune antibodies, Hep ABC, HIV negative. She will undergo a bone marrow test within the next few days. Its been 8 years since my exposure and my daughter was infected somehow through my bodily fluids about during the 1st year when I was most infectious, since my last post I have lived a relatively normal life on the advise from yourself and others and this is where it has led to, my daughter now fighting for her life. All this time lost where something could have been done. The tragedy is I have had 2 more children since my infection and in all likelihood they are also infected.
I have not told my daughter doctors of my incident, I should be telling them so they have an avenue to follow as they are currently lost on her he blood tests and cannot explain her symptoms thus cannot treat her accordingly.
My question to you sir is do I tell them and ask them to do a tcell count of which I'm sure will reveal that she has aids or do I wait and see what they find in time. They will obviously not do a cd4/cd8 test as the HIV test has been negative. I have always said that I cannot live with myself for what I have done and already contemplating how I will take my life within the coming days. I noticed that you are on leave till 10 September and may not be around to see your response if you respond at all. I know you probably dont want to post my question as it will raise plenty of attention from your readers who will question their status once again. However if this is not evidence enough for you that there is an HIV virus that is not detectable via the current tests then I dont know what will convince you and the medical fraternity. It is sad that my family will probably die a slow death with no treatment because you will not accept that there are people out there that have HIV despite testing negative. I hope that I will still be around to see your response. The reason I have not told the doctors is it will bring up the past with my wife and she will surely hate me for what I have done to her and our children or maybe there is a 0.0000000000000000000001 chance that I may well be wrong, or maybe I am just being a coward.
I cannot live with myself any longer, what do I do?
P.s. I have been suffering with neuropathy, lymph node pain every since the exposure
many thanks ANdy
Well, do you use the expression "snowball's chance in Hell May 14, 2004
SA guy, update name is Andy beg of you to read Feb 6, 2004
Hi Doc,
I am still a follower of yours and keep up to date with your site almost daily, I have in the passed apologized for my actions during my stressfull times and wish to apologize once more.I have know where to turn and am at a loss.
Anyway I confessed to my wife about the whole story about 2 months ago, since then we have been seeing a counsolor to see if we can move on from this ordeal. I hope you remember me the guy from South Africa that infected his wife, daughter and newborn son which nobody believes me. Its been about 1.8 years since the exposure. My immediare concern is for my daughter who has been having multiple symptoms ever since she was exposed to my bodily fluids. She often complains of pains in her armpits, groin area, headaches, nausea, skin problems and every 3 months she comes down with a fever along with many other symptoms. I have read that childrens medium time to AIDS is 3.5 years, that means i will probaby be around and watch her die without the help that i desperatly need from the medical community. There must be someone willing to help, do you knwo of amy specialist in SA that could help, I am currently in Angola working here for some , the reason is becuase i cannot sit by at home and watch my family suffer, my wife constantly has nuasea, vommiting, no appetite and has lost 20 kgs in the last year, dizzy spells etc. I still have neuropahty, persistent rashes, boils etc, headaches, loose stool etc. Why wont the doctors listen to me for once and beleive in me when I say that this is real and is happenign to my family. MY nwborn son had suffered with 3 bacterial infections since being born. Are you and ohter doctors just going to sit by until one of us has full blown AIDS, will you then do somehting about this. My dermotologist says that she only noticed the rashes i have in immune compromised patients. Why are you doctors not openminded to the fact that yes we may be infected with a strain that is not dectected by the current tests. The freakin suicidal thoughts are back becuase i cannot live and watch m famiy die. I know you will not post or reply to my message but i want you to be kept uptodate as you were the first and only doctor that genuinly responsed and cared about my situation. I jus hope you taking the time to read my posts
just to remind you I was the one with cryptospridim and many other symptoms.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Andy,
I'm glad you are being honest with your wife, seeing a counselor, and getting help for your problem. However, if I remember your story correctly, you are not HIV-positive. You've had many, many tests; many, many doctors; and the conclusion is always the same HIV-negative. Isn't that correct? As I've told you many times before, having cryptosporidium does not mean you automatically have HIV. I can't diagnose your condition over the Internet, but if all your tests have remained negative, as I suspect they have, you need to work with your counselor on ways to accept your HIV-negative status.
Good luck on your journey back to health. I think you are now on the correct path.
Dr. Bob
Hi Dr Bob
This is ANdy from South Africa, you have answered many post of mine and 1 of your statements made to me is "Well, do you use the expression "snowball's chance in Hell". Doctor I have finally realized that I need to move on with my life as my wife and I have been seeing a counselor for several months. My wife has forgiven me for cheating on her but according to the psychiatrist we will not be able to move on unless I give up this fear of HIV which I so dearly want to. I am at a point in my life where being unemployed for the last couple of years due to circumstances I now found a wonderful job and want to make a success of it. I want to make my marriage work and love life again. So what I'm asking you is can I andm y family 100% forget about having any form of HIV 12345678910 given that fact that my daughter and i still suffer with angular chelitis, the last 4 weeks we all have been suffering with nuasea almost daily and yesterday my daughter was vommiting the whole day, i myself with stmoach cramps and diarreah and my wife last week vomiting. My lymph nodes hurt constantly behind knees, elbos, armpits, groin. Neuropathy pains in hands and feet most fingers and toes. These rashes on my arms and chest area daily they are like bumps on the skin pink in colour but do not itch. Stomach rumbling all the time again the whole family. My duaghter complaining atlest twice a week about stomach pains and pains in groin areas. My wife dizzyness and also pains in groin. My newborn son is now 1 year old and has had several bacterial infection, dairreah, vomitting over the last week also.
Blood tests consitently high wbc 12, eusoniphils, elevated cd8 1200 and low ratio 0.9. CRP high
With all this happening to me and my family can I conclusively say that this is not HIV for the last time?
thanks ANdy
ps I have posted below my story to refresh your memory. No need to post this part if you do reply to me
This is my exposure and symptoms 1.5 years ago with a sex worker
Symptoms I experienced since the high risk exposure vaginal sex, oral sex, fingering with cut fresh cut in finger. The symptoms are as follows and as best as I can remember.
Pain in the penis which was confirmed to be prostate infection that needed several courses of antibiotics. Extreme body itching that's lasted for 2 weeks. Dark urine for a couple of months. Sore throat that lasted for weeks and did not respond to medication. Ear pain with no sign of infection, Sore joints and muscles, pain in my left breast, low grade fever, painful glands in groin, armpits, behind knees, swollen glands in neck, back of head for 2 weeks diagnosed by doctor, diarrhea that lasted for 5 weeks, crypto found in stool and ongoing loose/floating and narrow stool till today, Mucous out of rectum, 4 nights of severe night sweats, Rashes throughout the last 13 months, first started with rash on top of my chest . Several weeks after huge staph boils in various parts of my body confirmed by biopsy. Weeks later a hive like rashon my forearm that lasted for several weeks which was not itchy. Then started having rash on ears which was flaky - Seborric Dermatitis. After that rash I started breaking out with extremely itchy rashes across my body which was diagnosed as follocilitus by the dermatologist. This rash I still have but not as bad as before. Sores in the corner of my mouth for 3 months continuously. 5 Ulcers on my gums, inflammation of my gums, bad stomach cramps with loud rumbling noises that continue to this day. Pins and needles in feet and hands, legs going numb and almost everyday I wake up with my hands numb and I need to shake it off to come right. Ongoing neuropathy pain in toes and fingers, eye infection confirmed by Eye specialist felt the eyelids wanted to close all the time, eye twitching for 3 months with eyelid still drooping and occasional eye pain, eye floaters little squiggly things in my sight, extreme fatigue for several weeks whereby I would come home from work and go to bed by 7pm, dry skin.
Symptoms currently still experiencing : Neuropathy pains, pins and needles, itchy rash, white coated tongue, rumbling noise in stomach, soft and narrow stool with occasional bouts of Diarrhea, eye pain, sore throat. Pain in armpits, groin , behind knees went away 6 months ago and has started up again 3 week agoqaz .
My wife
sore throat ear infection that the doctors could not pickup nausea and vomiting for several days before she got pregnant, worse when she was pregnant and throughout her pregnancy, fever, 3 night of severe night sweats as I slept next to her and noticed it whereby I was fine at the time, on itchy rash on her body ongoing white coated tongue, diarrhea and ongoing loose stool, Pins and Needles, Dizziness and fainting throughout pregnancy and also after birth, headaches,and recently numb hands and legs and also she complains of hands numb while sleeping, depression, inflammation of gums.
Symptoms she currently experiences are : pins and needles, numb hands and feet, dizziness, depression, chronic sore throat for 3 months that does not respond to antibiotics, rumbling noise in stomach
My 5 year old Daughter You may ask how did she get exposed, my view is that when I had all those open staph sores or the blisters around my mouth she was always kissing her father and maybe thats how she picked it up
Nausea High fever for 4 days vommiting boils warts diarreah loose/floating stool for several months weird rashes and very sensitive skin since pain arounf her vagina coated tongue sores around outside of mouth Intermittant complaints of pain in her fingers, toes, elbow many ulcers in her mouth currently has Pityriasis Rosea
Tests 20 weeks CD4 850 - CD8 890 CD4 38% CD8 50% CD4/CD8 0.9 - Toga Labs 1 year CD4 1150 - CD8 1253 CD4 33% CD8 36% CD4/CD8 0.9 - Innovir 1 year 3 months CD4 850 - CD8 803 CD4 36% CD8 36% CD4/CD8 1.02 Toga Labs
My CD4 should be 2 to 1 CD8, instead my CD8 is out of range, my ratio is reversed and my CD4% has fallen which I have read all this to be indicative of HIV. Several Elisa and PCR tests and all negative. Tested for all other viruses and diseases known and all negative
Wierd happenings : tummy rumbling all of us with unusually high amounts of gas burning tongue
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello South African Andy,
Welcome back to the forum. From the tone of your most recent post, I can tell you're making excellent progress battling against your irrational fears of HIV infection. I'm particularly encouraged that:
You have "finally realized that you need to move on with your life."
You and your wife are seeing a counselor.
Your wife has forgiven you for cheating.
You "dearly want" to give up your fear of HIV.
You have a wonderful new job and want to make a success of it.
You want to make your marriage work and love life again.
I'll stand by my "snowball's chance in Hell" analogy. You and your family are not suffering form HIV. HIV is not your problem. If you reread all my previous posts to you, you'll see my opinion has not changed. Andy, continue to work with your counselor. You are indeed back on the road to health and happiness. HIV was never the cause of your problems; fear of HIV was! That fear can be devastating. However, as you can now begin to see, it can also be conquered if one focuses on facts rather than fears.
Keep up the good work, Andy, and rest assured that the only thing "positive" about you is your new attitude! And that's a good thing! Welcome to the rest of your life, Andy. And as Jimmy Stewart said, "It's a Wonderful Life!"
Hello Andy from South Africa,
Yes, I certainly remember you and your entire very sad story. I'm sorry to see that after eight years you are still plagued with the identical irrational fears and that you are once again having suicidal thoughts due to guilt.
Your daughter may well have some type of medical condition; however, it has nothing to do with HIV or an HIV-like virus. As in the past you are misinterpreting laboratory studies. Previously you thought having cryptosporidium meant you had AIDS. It does not. Now you are assuming your daughter's marginally low white count means she has "advanced stage AIDS." Again you are wrong. It does not!
You've also stated in previous questions that I would not post your concerns or provide you with a response. Once again you are wrong. The only reason I would consider not posting your question is that it has nothing to do with HIV (or an HIV-like illness) and my assessment and advice have not changed from the numerous responses I've already posted to your repetitive concerns.
Andy my advice is straightforward and I hope you will accept it:
You once again need psychiatric help for your suicidal thoughts, guilt and depression.
You've already leveled with your wife in the past; you should continue to be honest with her and discuss your current (recurrent) fears.
Continue to work closely with a good pediatrician to evaluate what's happening with your daughter. There are many underlying medical conditions that could explain both her symptoms and laboratory results. A competent pediatrician will identify her diagnosis.
Print out a copy of all your previous posts (including this one) and my responses. Show these to your psychiatrist. You can also show them to the physicians evaluating your daughter. Do not delay in getting the psychiatric help you so desperately need.
Finally, no, I will not "accept there are people out there that have HIV despite testing negative." Andy, take a read through the chapter in the archives entitled "I'm Positive I'm Positive." It's filled with posts from folks like you who were "100% convinced" (some 110%!) they were HIV infected. As it turns out, not a single one (absolutely none!) of them was actually infected. Andy, I've evaluated many cases like yours over the past quarter of a century. None of them turned out to be positive either. Rather than being so very certain that I and all of the many, many doctors and many, many tests that you've had over the past eight years are wrong, what about considering you are wrong??? I can assure you with absolute certainty you are indeed wrong, and I have absolutely no hesitation or reservation about posting this response.
Good luck Andy. Ultimately I hope you will realize HIV is not and never was your problem.
Dr. Bob

Lois Lowry: Sparking Hope in Young Readers
News For anyone who counts reading as a hobby, or something more important, it's a safe bet that for them the exciting challenge of a good book was established at an early age.
Why do you write for children as opposed to adults?
I realized early on, after publication of my first book for young readers, what an impact literature has on kids. The letters came in huge numbers, and they said things like, "This changed my life."
That was almost 40 years ago. Now it is email instead of snail mail, but the passion is still there and the intimacy with which they tell me of their feelings. You don't get that from adults. Adults can love a book, can talk with eloquence about it. But they are not going to be changed by it. It is that very vulnerable time, adolescence, when the readers are profoundly affected and their values are sometimes shaped by what they read. Knowing that gives me as a writer an enormous sense of responsibility.
What drives you to address such complex topics in your books?
My books simply reflect my own thinking. I don't consciously seek out topics. But my own imagination dwells in a world of complex issues, and so the stories spring from that. If a theme, or a question, is pervasive in my consciousness, then it will appear in my dreams, in my waking thoughts, eventually in a narrative form.
"I hope that today's young readers will have exactly the same experience I did so many years ago: that they will read a book—or two or three or ten— that will stay with them, that will haunt them..."
Why do you think your books have stood the test of time?
In my more serious books (because I have written, and continue to write, some light-hearted ones as well), I try to avoid the trendy. Books that grow out of today's headlines and contemporary culture will likely be obsolete quickly. I am more attracted, as a writer, to the timeless.
How have books impacted your relationship with your children and grandchildren?
My kids, and now my grandkids, have all grown up in homes that value books and reading. Shared books have always been part of our conversation.
How do you hope your books will impact the minds and hearts of your young readers?
I hope that today's young readers will have exactly the same experience I did so many years ago: that they will read a book—or two or three or 10— that will stay with them, that will haunt them; that there will be a fictional character—or two or three or 10—who will seem real, who will become a lifelong friend.
What can parents and educations do to help children retain creativity and a love for reading?
They can take their children to the local library from the earliest possible age. They can be certain that their children see them reading and enjoying books. They can talk about what they are reading. They can read aloud. They can turn off the screens—the computers, the TV—periodically and declare a sacrosanct time for reading.

There's a new movie out called Mellodrama: The Story of the Mellotron that documents the history of the Mellotron and it's forerunner, the Chamberlain.
I haven't seen the documentary, which just opened at a film festical, but some interesting tidbits are gleaned from the trailer and an interview with the director, Dianna Dillworth.
Who'd have thought that the sound of King Crimson, Tangerine Dream and the Moody Blues was born in the Lawrence Welk Orchestra, which apparently provided the source materiel for the original Chamberlain and Mellotron tapes.
There's also a hilarious YouTube promo film for the Mellotron from the early 1960s.
Best Chamberlain/Mellotron Songs and/or Albums:
The Beatles "Strawberry Fields" Magical Mystery Tour The Beatles use of mellotron flutes on Strawberry Fields helped paved the way for this instrument and revealed that the Mellotron was't a replacement for the orchestra, but a whole new soundworld unto itself
The Moody Blues Days of Future Passed Like The Beatles, the charm of the mellotron in their music was that it didsn't sound like an orchestra. IN fact, their actual orchestral arrangements sound sappier now than they did 40 years ago, but the mellotron arrangements sound timeless.
Tangerine Dream "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares" Phaedra The Mellotron is all over this album and other TD releases from this era. They took the mellotron out of the orchestral mode and sent it to textural space.
King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King What can you saw about this quintessential mellotron recording, creating the orchestra of doom on the title track and pastoral fantasies on "I Talk to the Wind" and "Moonchild"
Popol Vuh Aguire I can't tell you how many musicians I've talked to who cite the opening of Werner Herzog's Aguire-The Wrathe of God with the conquistadors descending into the mist shrouded Amazon valley to the strains of Popol Vuh's haunting score
Future Sound of London The Isness I suspect they used samples off of lots of other records with mellotrons, but this trip into post-electronica psychedelia resounds with flutes and strings redolent of a great acid trip, coutesy of the Mellotron.
Richard Burmer Mosaic Richard actually used a Chamberlain of much of his debut album, a masterpiece of sampled orchestral exotica where the smokey, atmospheric sound of the Chamberlain adorned lovely tunes like Ave Plaedelio and fever dreams like "The Serum."
Sam Phillips Cruel Inventions You wouldn't think of this singer-songwriter as a mellotron exponent, but producer and then husband T-Bone Burnett brought the Chamberlain in to create slightly surreal beds for Phillips often tortured songs.
John Diliberto (((echoes)))

TAUB Products Sal-Dri are double absorbent pads in a single, optimal size and shape that allows easy placement without bulkiness or patient discomfort in the mouth.
Unlike single sided pads that allow water or saliva to circumvent the absorbing surface, these double sided pads have a very high degree of absorbency so they can be used to maintain a dry field during various operatory procedures. When saturated, place new dry pad alongside. Sal-Dri eliminates fiber contamination of cements or sealants and they also retract and protect the cheek from sharp instruments, while improving both visibility and accessibility.

"You must never do anything that might expose our secret. This means that, in general, you cannot form close bonds with humans. You can speak to us, and you can always commune with the Ocean, but you are deadly to humans. You are, essentially, a weapon. A very beautiful weapon. I won't lie to you, it can be a lonely existence, but once you are done, you get to live. All you have to give, for now, is obedience and time..."
The same speech has been given hundreds of times to hundreds of beautiful girls who enter the sisterhood of sirens. Kahlen has lived by these rules for years now, patiently waiting for the life she can call her own. But when Akinli, a human, enters her world, she can't bring herself to live by the rules anymore. Suddenly the life she's been waiting for doesn't seem nearly as important as the one she's living now.
*Warning: this review may contain spoilers*
The Siren follows a girl named Kahlen, who serves as a siren of the Ocean. Because she was rescued from drowning from the Ocean, she has to repay Her by serving Her for a hundred years, luring people to their watery graves. All is well until she meets a boy who sees more than just her beauty. She is conflicted between the Ocean and the boy, and because of her feelings, she longs to become a human again so she can be with him.
I enjoyed this book far more than The Selection series. Kahlen was an extremely likeable character in an awful position and I related to her a lot more than America (y'know because I'm not a queen and because she was a lot less annoying than American and Eadlyn hehe) I felt so sorry for her being unable to love who she wanted as she was controlled by the Ocean. She also developed so well throughout the book, from being a girl listening to every word of the Ocean, to an independent person with a mind of her own. It was really satisfying to watch her grow throughout this book and build a relationship with Akinli.
One of the major themes of this book was misunderstanding and love, and I think that Kiera did a great job of covering those two themes. Misunderstanding was shown clearly with the Ocean and how she didn't understand that that sometimes letting go of someone so they can be with who THEY love is also a way of showing affection. At first, when the Ocean took Akinli away from Kahlen, I was literally crying tears of anger, saying how "heartless" she was (ironic because oceans don't have hearts). But as I went further into the book, I realised that the Ocean was one of the most loving characters I have ever met. She cared for Kahlen, even though she was just one of her many servants and she spared her life even after betraying her. The plot was interesting and I really enjoyed it. It was a speedy contemporary read, which was great for me because I can't ever get through the heavy volumes of high fantasy in Summer.
The one major problem I had with the book was the concept with the Ocean. Believe me, the plot was fast and interesting, but having an Ocean that talked?! The idea was corny and it could have been better if everything she said was in indirect speech. It also felt unrealistic and made it slightly harder for me get through because I was cringing nearly through all of the times she was talking.
However, putting that aside it was a good read. Also, can I just comment how pretty the cover is?! I'm happy that Kiera kept all her covers similar to The Selection. It sort of made them iconic I guess having the "girl and dress" (Btw, how cool would it be if we had dresses made of salt??)
Overall, the book was good- it was a speedy read and easy to process but there weren't any 'fireworks'. To be honest, even though it wasn't AMAZING I still remained interested throughout the book, and to me, if I'm interested I frankly don't care wtf I'm reading. Kahlen (seriously Kiera stop with the names) was a great character to read about; she was a likeable and I enjoyed watching her grow throughout the book. Lastly, I would like to thank HarperCollins for being so kind and sending me a copy :) It would be great if you guys take a look at this because it's such a light read, especially now with school going on -_-
I give this book a rating of 3.5/5 stars

Dana's Wise Mother
From: Dana in OKC
My mom was very creative with us when we were young, and she knew how to bust our boredom. Let me rifle through the file cabinet in my brain and see what I can recall...
Year-round we had to "lease" the TV knob (remember knobs? This was before remote controls) from her by maintaining our chores as well as "other duties as assigned" (which could be anything from read a particular book she thought was useful, to mowing the neighbor's yard). We could watch television just about any time we wanted to, when we had the "currency" to "lease" the knob for a specified amount of time. It was all spelled out and was just the way our hose worked.
We were fined for saying the words "I'm bored". Mom kept a "help wanted" bulletin board in the laundry room. She wrote down things that needed to be done and we could choose a job off the board if we wanted to earn some extra money or a certain privilege. Every time "I'm bored" came out of my mouth, she would silently walk to the board, stand in front of it as though in deep contemplation, and ceremoniously hand me a card off the board. The job listed on the card had to be completed, to HER satisfaction and with NO compensation (monetary or otherwise). All other options for activities were suspended until the job card was turned in and the job was inspected. In other words, I couldn't just say, "Oh, sorry Mom! I didn't mean it. I think I'll go practice piano or read a book or call a friend or roller skate or try out a new hairstyle or sit on my bed and gaze at my navel..." The only two options at that point were do the job or sit and stare into blank space. She never raised so much as an eyebrow. That was just how it was. If I wanted to read or use the phone or sunbathe, I had to do the job first.
I am pretty stubborn, and once I sat on a job for two days. I was not even allowed to eat because I hadn't completed my job. I got water and had bathroom access (for the call of nature only...no baths or showers). I didn't dare say anything negative, because I knew I'd just get another card, but I thought she'd at least have to feed me. She just cheerfully said, "If a man does not work, neither shall he eat" (2 Thes. 3:10). "As soon as you finish that job, I hope you'll join us at the table. See you then, Honey!" Well, needless to say, I broke down and did the hateful job (weed the front flower bed) and I was never so happy to see a bowl of Cheerios in my entire life. I believe that was also the last time I ever said, "I'm bored!"
I also remember that Mom encouraged us to make short-term service commitments in the summer. She would help us find different opportunities, some to earn money, some just as pure service. I house-sat for a week when I was 15 (just went over every day to take in the paper and mail, let the dog out and so on), I baby sat, cleaned the church, sorted baby clothes at the Women's shelter and so on. Mom would suggest that we enlist a friend in our little service projects. That made it pretty fun. Most of the jobs were for a week or less, so I had a lot of different things to do in the summer.
Another fun part of summer was the day trips Mom would take us (and one friend apiece) on. We would get out a map and some travel brochures and take turns picking free or inexpensive places to go that were within a certain driving distance. We would usually pack our own food and head out early in the morning. We saw a lot of great stuff that was "right in our own backyard". It seems like we took about one of those a month (3 trips per summer).
Mom enjoyed writing and wanted us to, too, so she started "dialogue journals" with us. We each had our own spiral notebook. In it, she would write the date and ask a question such as, "What do you remember most about last Christmas?" Then we would write our answer. The answer had to be at least three paragraphs. We could also ask her questions if we wanted to, and she would answer them. Those journals are among my most cherished possessions today, and I carry on this tradition, and many others, with my own children.
Another summer writing project she gave us was to hand write a short note of encouragement to everyone on our family's Christmas card list. We might write one or two notes every day or so. It only took a few minutes. It seemed pretty lame at the time, but looking back, I see the value in it: thinking of others and how to encourage them, honing writing skills and developing personal discipline. She would look over the notes and comment on style and content. She would talk to us about the person we were writing to that day and give suggestions on what kinds of things to say. A lot of the people were older relatives that lived out of state. It was a good way to get to know some of our extended family. Many times we got notes back, and that was always exciting. And Mom made sure that we always answered our mail, so sometimes the correspondence could get quite long.
We also had a list of Summer Big Jobs, and on Saturdays in the summer, the whole family would devote 2 hours to a Summer Big Job. Some jobs were so big they took several Saturdays, and some didn't quite take the whole two hours, so we would get off easy. It was amazing what a whole family working together could acomplish in just two hours. I remember not minding it too much, because there was an end in sight. At the end of two hours we were done with the Big Job for the week.
And this brings us to the end of Boredom Busters, Volume I. I hope my little trip down memory lane sparks some ideas that will Bust Summer Boredom in your house.
Blessings!!Return to the top of this page

One of the most abused drug in the US is DXM. It is also referred to as robo, rome, skittles, and syrup, among other names. DXM has been in use in the US for about thirty years. It is the active ingredient in many over-the-counter cough medications. It should be noted that dependence on this drug is easily formed due to a number of factors. For starters, DXM is easily available in cough medications. Secondly, information about DXM extraction from drugs containing it is easily available online.
Another factor leading to increased DXM use is that use of it is legal, unlike other drugs. It follows that individuals will freely use this drug, leading to addiction. This drug is found in various forms, including gelatin capsules, lozenges, and cough syrup, among others. Pure form of dextromethorphan is found as powder, mainly sold in the black market. It is used in a number of ways. For starters, the drug may be taken orally. This is the most common form of intake. It may also be injected or snorted. It has cough-suppressing properties, which have the effect of activating opioid receptors in the brain.
DXM also affects receptors in the cerebrum which are responsible for movement coordination. When introduced to the body, this drug has a number of effects on the user. Some of these include:
The user may also experience fever and panic attacks. In the long run, a dextromethorphan user may experience psychological and physical dependency, cognitive ability impairment, and psychosis.
Research shows that the dissociative effect of DXM is the main cause of addiction. When ingested, a user experiences 5 levels of psychological and physical states, otherwise known as plateaus. In the first plateau, the user has slight intoxication, elevated moods, and euphoria. The user also develops an increased appreciation for dancing and music. In the second plateau, the user develops double vision, short term memory loss, and a floating sensation. In the third plateau, a DXM abuser experiences cognitive ability impairment, and panic attacks. At this juncture, the user may experience a detachment from reality.
In the fourth phase, the user experiences a situation whereby he or she feels completely detached from reality. The user also has zero self-awareness. The last stage is known as plateau sigma, where the user may develop hallucinations and psychosis-like effects. At this stage, many users claim hearing voices ordering them around. The last three stages are very intense and are associated with a detachment from reality.
In these three stages, drug users feel relaxed, and have pleasant sensations. Combination of DXM with other drugs can be fatal. Many DXM users use it with stimulants, prescription drugs, and alcohol, among others. This can lead to respiratory depression, serotonin syndrome, and other life-threatening situations. Ingestion of high amounts of DXM can be fatal and may lead to stroke, cerebral hemorrhaging, permanent brain damage, and death.

Who is the guidance addressed to?
The Guidance prepared by JMLSG is addressed to firms in the industry sectors represented by its member bodies, and to those firms regulated by the FCA. All such firms - which, for the avoidance of doubt, include those which are members of JMLSG trade associations but not regulated by the FCA, and those regulated by the FCA which are not members of JMLSG trade associations - should have regard to the contents of the guidance.
Financial services firms which are neither members of JMLSG trade associations nor regulated by the FCA are encouraged to have regard to this guidance as industry good practice. Firms which are outside the financial sector, but subject to the ML Regulations, particularly where no specific guidance is issued to them by a body representing their industry, may also find this guidance helpful.
The guidance will be of direct relevance to senior management, nominated officers and MLROs in the financial services industry. The purpose is to give guidance to those who set the firm's risk management policies and its procedures for preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. Although the guidance will be relevant to operational areas, it is expected that these areas will be guided by the firm's own, often more detailed and more specific, internal arrangements, tailored by senior management, nominated officers and MLROs to reflect the risk profile of the firm.

Agent 47 is going on holiday.
At least, we think that's his cover for heading to the sun-drenched (fictional) Italian city of Sapienza. His lack of flip flops and shorts would suggest he's got more than sightseeing in mind.
In case it's passed you by, Hitman has gone about some stealthy changes for its latest instalment: rather than arriving as one 'complete' game, new episodes are dropping on a month-by-month basis, allowing you to devote yourself to exploring every possible route and permutation in taking out your target. It's a different approach, but surprisingly rewarding.
Episode two arrives on 26 April, tasking you with assassinating twisted scientist Silvio Caruso. If the trailer below is anything to go by, we might miss our mark because we were too busy studying the incredible scenery...

Milestone Photography
Children grow up way too fast. One day they are cooing in your arms, the next they master crawling and before you know it they are taking those miraculous first steps. It's bittersweet when it happens, too. That's why documenting those precious baby milestones, with your camera, is so vital. It's important to preserve the stage he or she is in because in the blink of an eye it's over.
At three months of age your baby is able to hold her head up and she may even smile at you. She might not even mind tummy time. Lay out her special blanket, place her on her tummy, get down in front of her, and snap away. Trying different angles and perspectives will add character to this type of portrait and a digital camera will afford you the ability to shoot over and over again until you get the best shot.
At six months of age your little baby boy can sit up or "tripod" on his own or he may have started to learn how to crawl. This is a great time to document his developmental milestones. Sitting up and playing with his toys or lunging forward while trying to crawl or concentrating on stacking his plush block; it's all so exciting and well worth pulling out your trusty digital camera. Sometimes it's the little things that mark development that we forget. A picture can help you relive these short lived times.
At nine months of age your daughter is standing and possibly cruising the furniture. She's eating all kinds of new foods and might even be feeding herself while in her highchair. Playtime includes peek-a-boo, looking at big picture books, and maybe a push walker toy that helps stimulate the next phase. These are all prime times to mark with a picture or two!
The months fly by and suddenly your baby boy is a one year old. This is an extra special time because the possibilities are endless. He's walking, talking, and learning something new everyday. Making sure to record these marvels will ensure that the busy days of growing up aren't forgotten or lost. You can look back on this time and be amazed that your little boy has met all these wonderful milestones, and then some.
Photographing all the various developmental phases allows us as parents to look back and cherish those special times. Those special times that are all too fleeting, but oh-so spectacular when you reflect upon them. And with all the photo print deals going on these days, be sure to snap as many as you can!

Question about Avant Que

Question about Avant Que
This question relates to:
French lesson "Avant que + ne explétif + Le Subjonctif = Before I do"
Kwiziq community member
I was taught at school that Avant que takes subjunctive only when there is a change of subject.
This is also confirmed here:2-Deux sujets identiques+deux actions différentes=avant de+infinitif
Il fait sa toilette avant de prendre son petit déjeuner.
3-Deux sujets différents+deux actions différentes=avant que+subjonctif
Sandra est rentrée avant que la pluie commence à tomber.
However, it seems that in the examples on this website, Avant que always takes the subjunctive, regardless of whether there is a change in subject.
For example: Avant que je n'aille chez Paula, je dois acheter des fleurs.
(Before I go to Paula's, I have to get some flowers)
What is the rule here? Or are both accepted?
Kwiziq community member
Hi Ry,
Avant que always takes the subjunctive, whether there is a change in subject or not. Note, that this isn't in contradiction to your rules.
