Ramsay Ladders - Loft Ladders Marketing
Ramsay Ladders of Forfar are famous for their quality Loft Ladders and recently the company asked Keillor Graphics to design and produce marketing support material for their range of Loft Ladders. Earlier in the year one of the vehicles used by the company's loft ladder fitters was given a semi vinyl wrap complete with new graphics. This design was carried through into the new marketing material with the strapline..."The Ramsay Loft Ladder tailored to fit your loft SPACE", which included an A5 Flyer to highlight to potential customers that a Ramsay Loft Ladder had just been fitted in their area, a new design for the company's Loft Ladder brochure and their online presence was developed further with the addition of a Gateway Site purely for Loft Ladders.

An artist who defies conventional categorisation, Brian Eno is a musician, composer, record producer, music theorist, singer and visual artist. His incredible and varied output over the past forty years has defined him as one of the most enigmatic and sought after collaborators in music today, with a reputation amplified by all who have worked with him. Best known for his early involvement with key art rock outfit Roxy Music, Eno paved the recording scene with extensive production duties for the likes of Irish super group U2, David Bowie, Talking Heads, John Cale, Depeche Mode, Paul Simon, Devo, Grace Jones and more recently Coldplay. One of the principal innovators of ambient music, his influence and artistry is indubitable. The Man Who Fell To Earth 1971-1977 details Eno's rapid ascent during the excitement of a changing music scene, where electronica was no longer feared, but accepted as a dynamic and bold assault on the senses. Exploring his life, influences and creative output, this illuminating film features exclusive interviews with key associates, including biographer Dave Sheppard, rock critic Robert Christgau, musicians Jon Hassell, Percy Jones, Hans Joachim Roedelius, and Brian Turrington, taking us from Eno's debut with Roxy Music through to his last rock album, Before and After Science. Incorporating interviews, audio clips and archival footage this is a compelling story of an amazing artist, supported by musical examples, laudatory stories and much more.

Fall 2012, Unique 51390
Tuesday / Thursday, 11 am - 12:30 pm, WEL 2.304
Dr. Lauren Webb
Office Hours: Monday and Tuesday, 12:30 - 1:30 pm, or by appointment
Teaching Assistant: Rebika Shrestha
TA Office Hours: Tuesday 2 - 3 pm and Wednesday 3 - 4 pm
WEL 2.306, Suite A
Required Textbooks: Principles of Modern Chemistry, 7th edition
Oxtoby, Gillis, and Campion
Webpage: All course materials, including the syllabus, daily lecture summaries, homework problems and solution keys, quiz solution keys, exam solution keys, and practice exams will be posted on this site. We will use Blackboard's grade center to post grades. I will periodically communicate important class announcements to you through email. It is very important that you update your UT directory information with the email that you check most often. I will also post these class announcements on the course webpage.
Course Objective: This course is an advanced exploration of the principles and foundations of modern chemistry. This course is intended for students who have had good chemistry preparation at the high school level and who wish to develop significantly more insight into the physical principles underlying the science of chemistry. After a brief review of classical bonding, we will study the foundations of quantum mechanics and apply these concepts to atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, and the experimental and theoretical methods that are used by modern chemists to study these phenomena. Near the end of the semester we will study the fundamental principles of classical and statistical thermodynamics. Throughout the course, I will encourage you to engage the ways that science in general and chemistry in particular effect your daily life.
This course carries the Quantitative Reasoning flag. Quantitative Reasoning courses are designed to equip you with skills that are necessary for understanding the types of quantitative arguments you will regularly encounter in your adult and professional life. You should therefore expect a substantial portion of your grade to come from your use of quantitative skills to analyze real-world problems.
Lectures and Attendance: I will not be taking attendance, but I will also not be posting lecture notes. You may compare and copy lecture notes from classmates to make sure you have an accurate and complete set of notes for yourself, but I strongly discourage you from relying on others for your notes. To supplement your own note-taking, I will post daily summaries of what I consider to be the most important notes from that day's lecture, but these will not be comprehensive.
Quizzes and Homework: There will be 6 closed-book quizzes given in class on Thursday. Quiz dates are given on the schedule below. The quiz will be given during the last 15 to 20 minutes of class and must be turned in when the class period ends at 12:15 pm. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped. To help you prepare for these quizzes, each week I will post homework problems and the corresponding solution keys. It is up to you to practice these problems; we will not be collecting your answers, but if you don't do the homework you will probably find the quizzes very unpleasant. Your textbook is another wonderful source of practice problems.
Exams: There will be four 75 min open-book exams that will be given during the normal class time. Exam dates are noted on the schedule below, so plan now. There will be no makeup exams and no dropped scores. If you must miss an exam due to observance of religious holidays, you are required by the University to notify the instructor at least 14 days in advance. Otherwise, you can only make up an exam by providing documented proof of a major life trauma or emergency and only after consultation with the instructor. Semester exams will focus on material introduced since the previous exam; however, the subject that we are studying this semester is inherently cumulative, so you will be expected to be familiar with material not covered explicitly on each exam.
Exam Rooms: If your last name begins with A - L, please report to WEL 2.304. If your last name begins with M - Z, please report to WRW 102.
Final Exam: A 3 hr final exam will be given 12 December, 7 pm - 10 pm, in a location TBA.
Grades: Quizzes: 300 pts (5 at 60 pts. each)
Exams: 400 pts (4 at 100 pts. each)
Final: 300 pts
Grade: A = 850 and above
ntg < 549
Extra Credit: Three extra credit assignments worth 5 points each will be given throughout the semester.
CH108: CH108 (Conference Course - Intensive Chemistry Seminar) is a supplemental honors level enrichment and enhancement seminar that follows the course schedule of CH301H. CH108 is intended to develop your problem solving skills by working through comprehensive honors level problems in a group setting with immediate feedback from the instructor and TAs. This is a 1 credit course that is graded on a Pass / Fail basis. Although it is not required for you to be enrolled in CH108 while taking CH301H, I strongly encourage you to do so.
CH108 meets Monday / Wednesday 5:00 - 6:15 pm in JES A303A/A305A (Unique 51700/51705). The first class day will be 5 September 2012.
Students with Disabilities: The University of Texas at Austin provides upon request appropriate academic accommodations for qualified students with disabilities. For more information, contact the Office of the Dean of Students at 471-6259, 471-6441 TTY. Any student with a documented physical or cognitive disability who requires academic accommodations should do this as soon as possible to request an official letter outlining authorized accommodations for this course. If the accommodation involves testing, you must remind the instructor at least 5 business days before the scheduled exam.
Honor Code: "The core values of The University of Texas at Austin are learning, discovery, freedom, leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility. Each member of the University is expected to uphold these values through integrity, honesty, trust, fairness, and respect towards peers and community."
Cheating will not be tolerated in this course. When taking quizzes and exams, you may not use any electronic material to assist you except for a calculator for completing arithmetic. Students who violate University rules on scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary penalties, including the possibility of failure in the course and / or dismissal from the University.

Hidden talent? Kate Middleton plays the ukulele with kids
Kate Middleton is quite the talented — ukulele player. During Tuesday's private engagement at the Bethlem and Maudsley Hospital School in South London, the Duchess of Cambridge took part in a lesson with children and did a pretty good job at learning on the small four-stringed guitar.
"One of the boys managed to teach the Duchess a couple of chords on the ukulele," head teacher Dr. John Ivens said after the visit. "She kept up with them. There's a career there."
He also commended Kate, 33, on her ability to connect with people. "The Duchess is very good at listening to what people are saying to her, especially children and responding in a thoughtful way."
The school educates children with long-term illnesses who are being treated at the nearby Bethlem Royal and Maudsley Hospitals. "Clearly it was very important for her to understand how young people get to a situation that they need to be an inpatient at such a young age," Dr. Ivens continued. "It was clear that her intention in coming was to find out more about this area."
Rest assured, topic did of course turn to her adorable 18-month-old son Prince George. "She talked a little about that with the children and about what George likes," the educational psychologist who is also involved with Kate's charity Place2Be added. "It was lovely."
Place2Be, of which Kate is a patron, has a special place in the royal's heart as it is the leading UK provider of school-based mental health support
The private engagements came just days after she, Prince William and family returned from their two week vacation in the Caribbean island Mustique. The rest of her February is quite packed with other royal engagements ahead of their second child in April.

GM5L Speed Seal Life - New Improved Version
Part #GM5L from Speed Seal
Extended impeller life for both generators and main engine pumps, with tests showing routine improvements of two to three times normal life. Prolonged and repeated run-dry tests gave results of 40 x 5 minutes dry starts (tests stopped) without damage whilst maintaining performance. Increased pump life and performance.
Speedseal Life also provides the benefits of the standard Speedseal versionto give quick and easy impeller access for safety and convenience.
The old cover is removed and a Speedseal Life fitted using the existing screw holes – no modifications are needed.
More about the new Speedseal Life version:
The success is based on the research and development which proved the outstanding benefits of a combination of Brass and PTFE bearing discs. This dramatically reduces the friction "hot spots" at the end of the impeller now known to be responsible for wear and impeller failure.

Good Digital Prints, Cheap
- Good Digital Prints, Cheap
- continued
online digital photo sharing may be hot, but there's nothing like passing around snapshots. when it comes to prints, the 4-by-6 format is easily the most popular.
printing 4-by-6 digital photos used to be expensive. you had to slice them out of letter-size photo paper or try to fit odd-size paper into the printer. and photo-finishing shops, from drugstores to camera stores, were ill equipped to handle digital images.
today, low-cost printing options abound. numerous web sites offer prints for as low as 19 cents apiece. drugstore chains, department stores, and even costco compete to print your digital images in an hour or overnight. and a new fleet of home printersdesigned just to spit out 4-by-6 photosare cheap to operate and easy to use.
but which option offers the best-looking images at the best price? the cheap geek cobbled together a sample of nine imagestwo from our printer test, the rest a mix of buildings, people, and flowers.
i narrowed the online services down to kodak easyshare gallery ( www.kodakgallery.com )formerly ofotoand snapfish ( www.snapfish.com ), which hp snapped up. i also sent the pictures to shutterfly, using the online print ordering wizard found in windows xp.
to keep gas costs down, i went with target, rite aid, and longs drugs, all within 5 miles of my house.
i used an epson picturemate 4-by-6 photo printer ( https://go.pcmag.com/epsonpicturemate ) for home printing. hp, lexmark, and others make similar models, but at 29 cents, the epson has the lowest cost per print of the group (and is a pc magazine editors' choice).
i rated the services in three different areas: convenience, total cost, and print quality. for print quality, i convened a panel of regular folks and pc magazine labs experts in a blind test of each set of prints.
two contenders were quickly scratched. shutterfly had me singing, like snow white, "some day my prints will come." they were still awol after 11 days (easyshare gallery and snapfish took just 3). longs drugs suffered both hardware and employee failure. the kiosk screen was black, the previous customer wasted 30 minutes on just four pictures, and the only in-store expert went on break as i arrived.
target's printing hardware was also on the fritz, but luckily another store was nearbyand its machine worked fine. both target and rite aid used the same setup, a kodak picture maker print station and gretag master lab. both were equally easy to use: pop the flash card into the print station, select the shots, and in an hour or so, the prints are ready.
shutterfly and easyshare gallery both had usability issues that lowered their convenience score. easyshare gallery rejected my e-mail address, email@example.com , and the activex upload control failed under windows xp sp2. parts of shutterfly's site lacked support for cut-and-paste.continue reading

Metro, Granite City and North Iowa win on Day 2
Metro 3 vs. Great Falls 1 – Kameron Limburg made 24 saves as the Metro Jets moved to 1-1 in the Silver Cup Tournament with a 3-1 win over the Great Falls Americans. The loss dropped the Americans to 0-2 and they now have been mathematically eliminated from the event. The Jets didn't take long to grab the lead as they scored just :37 seconds in. A shot from the point from David Chavis took a fortunate bounce after a save from Jordan Moran and Matt Dempsey jumped on the rebound for a 1-0 lead. Great Falls answered later in the period on a nice give-and-go play from Lucas Lomax to Cody Page to even things at 1-1. Metro took control in the 2nd period as a nice passing play found Alex Holm on the back door to tip a shot home for a 2-1 lead. Four minutes later, the Jets made it 3-1 on a power play as Zach Koonce wired a wrist shot through a screened Moran to push the Jets lead to two goals. 11 of Limburg's 24 saves came in the 3rd period. Jordan Moran made 29 saves in the loss. Boxscore
Granite City 2 vs. Nashville 0 – Jesse Garcia stopped all 19 shots that came his way as Granite City blanked the Nashville Jr. Predators 2-0 on Friday. The win moved the Lumberjacks to 1-1 in pool plat and Nashville dropped to 1-1 in pool play. Granite City jumped ahead 1-0 about seven minutes into the opening period as a centering pass from Jared Sprink found Michael Orke in front, who lifted a shot over the glove of Nashville goalie Michael Ball for the first goal of the game. After a scoreless 2nd period in which both goalies, Jesse Garcia for Granite City and Justin Ball from Nashville, shined, the Lumberjacks would get the insurance goal they needed late in the 3rd period as Travis Kothenbeutel put a shot through the legs of Ball for the 2-0 win. David Kenney and Tyler Mros picked up assists on the goal. Boxscore
North Iowa 2 vs. West Michigan 0 – North Iowa had a lot of chances in the opening period, outshooting the Wolves 15-2, and broke through for the game's first goal. Off a West Michigan turnover in the neutral zone, the Bulls raced in on a 3 on 1. Brett Gravelle fed the puck in the slot to Joe Burgmeier, who snapped a shot over the shoulder of Wolves goalie Hunter Vorva for a 1-0 lead. In the 2nd period, the Bulls took advantage of an early power play as some nice passing by Burgmeier and Gravelle worked the puck down low to Johnny Panvica, who put home a shot from the side of the net past a sprawled out Vorva to make it 2-0. West Michigan managed 10 shots in the period, but Bulls goalie Chris Amsden managed to fend them all off. Neither team budged in the 3rd period with both goalies making 13 quality saves. Amsden ended up stopping all 25 shots that came his way, while Vorva was very good in the loss, making 41 saves. With the win North Iowa became the only team at the event to go 2-0 in the first two games, while West Michigan dropped to 1-1. Boxscore

2007 Tahoe Sweepstakes Build(Pictures follow the article)
When the Stylin' Trucks build team was given the mission to create a new sweepstakes truck for 2007, they decided that the truck, and anything to do with it, had to be super high-quality.
Since the last two sweepstakes vehicles, a 2006 Ford F150 and a 2006 Chevrolet Colorado, were trucks, they knew that it was SUV time. And what SUV sports new looks for 2007, is winning styling awards everywhere and is getting rave reviews from all the major publications? That's right, the 2007 Chevy Tahoe.
Brakes, Wheels and Suspension
The upgrade continued with the addition of 22-inch KMC 820-SS wheels wrapped in high-performance rubber and a custom Baer 6-piston, large rotor brake kit.
Interior and Stereo
For this, the sweepstakes Tahoe was sent to the fine folks at Crutchfield, who expertly installed a slammin' stereo system. Wanting to keep the Tahoe's steering wheel controls and ON-star in working order, Crutchfield opted to stick with the factory head unit and route the audio signal through a Rockford 3sixty.2 interactive signal processor. Basically, this little gem allows you to keep your factory stereo and still come to the table with a killer stereo system.
The audio signal is then tossed over to three separate Rockford amplifiers, one for high and mid-range component speakers and one for each of the Rockford T212D subs. DVD, chest-thumping subs, a custom subwoofer enclosure, they took care of everything! (see Crutchfield's installation article on this stereo system.)
And while you're cruising down the street and listening to your favorite tunes, engine vitals and other boring info (like your speed) are displayed through a US Speedo Aqua Marine gauge kit. A custom set of Lloyd floor mats provides a soft, plush resting place for your feet.
Then, Street Scene was called in to spruce up the body a bit. They brought over their new 2007 Tahoe bumper cover, a prototype version of their new billet fender vents, Cal-Vu sport mirrors and chrome Speed Grilles for the main grille and bumper cover. More flashy truck accessories round out the product offering. All Sales supplied the build crew with its new third brake light cover, a chrome gas door and billet door handles. The hot chrome taillight covers are from Putco and the ultra-bright LEDs inside the taillights are from Spiderlite.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to get your hands on this one-of-a-kind street cruising SUV. The sweepstakes runs from March 12th, 2007 through June 12th, 2007, so don't delay. Enter the sweepstakes!(Click the pictures to expand...)
The final product is smooth and hot looking. Go enter to win it!

To some, he is the face behind classic Pink Floyd. To others, he is the temperament behind some of the greatest albums of the rock era. And to others still, he is one of the most original songwriters of a generation that overflows with notable talent. To all, he is an enigma: a rock star who not only eschewed stardom but also spent much of his career railing against it. But to call Roger Waters a mass of contradictions is simply taking the easy way out. He is so much more than that. Roger Waters: The Man Behind the Wall is the first full biography of the author of The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and, of course, The Wall. It traces his life from war-torn suburbia to the multitude of wars he has fought since then - with his bandmates, with his audience, and most of all with himself. Packed with insight and exclusive interviews with friends and associates, Roger Waters: The Man Behind the Wall dismantles the wall brick by brick, revealing the man who built it in all his glory.

The Implications of Dental Health for Seniors
Our teeth are lifelong partners of ours, especially if we love to eat. Having only two sets of teeth in our lifetimes (first are the milk teeth while the second and last are our permanent teeth), it is typical to take care of them as we could. Otherwise, a life of having dentures early on and daily visits to any dentist Coopers Plains has today awaits.
For seniors, having regular dental treatments from a reliable dentist Coopers Plains has is essential if you want to maintain your pearly whites. Of course, this should be part of your oral hygiene regimen. Brushing three times a day, flossing every day, gargling, and eating healthy food are all still a must. Bi-annual cleanings by your trusted dentist Coopers Plains has is still recommended. If you value your teeth and love yourself, go and get regular dental care with a Coopers Plains dentist and observe proper oral hygiene practices.
Diabetes and Your Teeth
The high levels of glucose in the blood due to diabetes will promote the growth of germs and bacteria in the mouth. If this happens to you, your gums can swell and can become sore when you brush or floss. These problems can lead to periodontitis, a condition affecting the gums around your teeth. If it becomes worse, so as the condition of the gums, which will make your teeth appear abnormally longer. Tooth loss can also occur.
This condition can be seen amongst people over the age of 45, especially those who smoke.
What can you do to keep your glucose levels under control?
1. Check with your doctor and any dentist in Coopers Plains that you choose aboutwhat activities are suitable for you.
2. Check your blood glucose regularly and keep a record of your findings. You should present this to your doctor.
3. Get all the medications prescribed to you and take them at prescribed amounts and times.
What can you do to ensure better oral health?
1. Brush your teeth after every meal.
2. Always use a soft toothbrush and replace it at least every 3 months.
3. Never part your toothbrush with someone else.
4. Thoroughly rinse after every brush.
5. Never store your toothbrush covered or closed up in a container, as this promotes bacterial growth.
6. Floss your teeth at least once a day.
7. See your dentist at least twice a year for regular checks. Frequency of visits can change as directed by your dentist.
8. Always remind your dentist that you are a diabetic.
9. Inform your dentist about all medications that you are taking, including herbals and over-the-counter medications.
In some ways, living with dentures can make your life as senior inconvenient. Imagine having to pick them out every night before going to bed and then put them back on in the morning. Now, to avoid such situation, it is important to start taking care of your teeth from the start. And, you should maintain proper oral hygiene as you live. Make sure to find the best Coopers Plains dentist and give him regular visits. On that note, you can check out www.brisdentalclinic.com.au.

May 23, 2019 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
3rd February 2015
Italy has topped the list of destinations where British motorists are most at risk of needing to claim on their insurance.
The research by insurance4carhire.com, found that the most frequent cause for claims while on the road is accidental damage, closely followed by vandalism, theft and mis-fuelling, but also for more unusual events such as damage by hailstones, volcanic ash and even striking a wild animal.
The average claim for 2014 was £350, according to the firm.
Lauren Mason, from I4CH, said: "We know that many people can feel daunted about driving an unfamiliar car, especially abroad, so if you are heading off for a family getaway this February half-term, don't leave the holiday-admin to the pick-up desk.
"Last minute pressures can often lead to panic purchases that won't necessarily cover you in every eventuality should the worst happen."
Top holiday destinations for car insurance claims:
1. Italy, 715 claims since 2011
2. Spain, 629 claims
3. France, 540 claims
4. Portugal, 440 claims
5. Australia, 138 claims

Over the last decade, oil and natural gas production has been booming out West, in states like North Dakota, Colorado, and Montana. That's brought plenty of benefits to local communities: Good-paying jobs, rising incomes, new businesses, a tidal wave of fresh tax revenue.
It's also brought a fair share of problems. Towns around the oil-rich Bakken formation in North Dakota, for instance, have been grappling with higher crime rates, heavy truck traffic and overcrowded schools. What's more, there's the risk that some counties may become overly dependent on a single industry that has a tendency to bust.
Are these downsides worth worrying about? A new paper from Headwaters Economics argues that they might be. The longitudinal study looked at various communities in six states out West — Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming — that participated heavily in the 1980 oil boom. It then examined how those areas fared in the decades after that particular boom starting waning in 1982.
The key question, however, is how relevant this study actually is to today's oil and gas bonanza. Let's take a closer look:
The "resource curse"
The Western counties that participated in the 1980s boom all enjoyed a surge of income in the early years. But once production leveled off, the paper finds, many of those counties actually found themselves worse off over the longer term.
Those counties that participated most heavily in the boom and specialized most intensively in oil and gas industries actually saw greater declines in income, higher crime rates, and lower rates of educational attainment in the 1980 to 2011 period.
"The magnitude of this relationship is substantial," the authors write, "decreasing per capita income by as much as $7,000 for a county with high participation in the boom (greater than 8% of income from oil and gas) and long-term specialization (greater than 10 years) versus an identical county with only one year of specialization in oil and gas."
This suggests that U.S. towns and counties that specialize too heavily in oil and gas development can indeed suffer from what's known as the "resource curse." They become too reliant on a single industry, and when the oil and gas stops flowing, the counties can end up worse off than if they'd never enjoyed a surge of production in the first place.
Is this time different?
But how much does this tell us about the current oil and gas expansion out West? After all, there are a number of crucial differences between the 1980s and today.
The oil boom in the early 1980s was driven by a temporary uptick in crude prices caused by a number of factors that were soon reversed (the actions of OPEC, domestic price controls on oil, and so on). When prices crashed worldwide after a few short years, the boom vanished, too.
By contrast, many analysts expect the West's oil and gas frenzy today to last for years to come. That's because it's being driven by new technological breakthroughs in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. And it's been sustained by a seemingly insatiable global demand for oil that keeps prices high. Oil production in North Dakota has now jumped eight-fold since 2006, to a level undreamed of in the 1980s. This time may well be different. The income gains, at least, will be significantly higher:
What's more, the authors of the paper note that not all communities suffer over the long-term from boom-and-bust cycles in the oil and gas industry. In states like Texas, for instance, oil-producing regions have often been well-diversified and connected with other industries such as manufacturing. That's enabled many counties to thrive even in the face of downturns in fossil-fuel production.
The researchers point out that many counties in the Western states have managed to diversify their economies since the 1980s — although markedly less so than in the South. "This diversification," they note, "is a positive development from the perspective of long-term economic well-being and the ability to weather boom-bust cycles." Even so, the basic dynamic is one to keep an eye on.

Does anyone find that they the story, but not necessarily the book? Those occasions where a story transcends its source material to take on a life of its own. Perhaps you like West Side Story, but you'd never read Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Perhaps you love Bridget Jones's Diary, but would never read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
For me, it was The Count of Monte Cristo. When I first heard the story, I was desperate to read the book. But when I tried (and oh god did I try) to read Alexandre Dumas novel, I was entirely bored.
The main story I'm come for, the falsely accused hero returning to take revenge upon his accusers in disguise was there and as glorious as I'd hoped. I remember being enthralled by the scene at La Mazzolata in Chapter 36. But even as the main story kicked off, it was suddenly flooded by subplots upon subplots. Unnecessary character development and massively weighted paragraphs which went seemingly nowhere. It's was like reading a soap opera.
So I couldn't finish the book. Needless to say, I was devastated and disappointed. I love the story, yet can't stand the book? And in so many ways, it would be perfect for me. I love stories about dual identities, hidden motifs and anti-heroes. The steampunk novel I'm working on is littered with these themes.
When I was young, I read Les Misérables (an English translation, obviously!) after falling in love with the musical. Not only did I finish, but I also gained so much more from the story which only Victor Hugo's work can provide, no matter how many future adaptations there might be. I adore the classics like Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice, The Picture of Dorian Grey. In retrospect, it looks like my obsession with themes of identity, misunderstanding and hidden motives was already showing as a child.
Surely a work of classic literature can't be dull, I told myself. How could it have survived? It's not the first time I've blamed myself for not liking a book. Case in point, I'll admit I'm not a Charles Dickens fan… don't hate me, even one of the best authors in the universe cannot hold my attention while they spend eight pages describing the old house on the hill.
So there my copy of The Count of Monte Cristo lay on the bookshelf. Unread and unloved, still does to this day.
About a year later, I found The Stars' Tennis Balls by Stephen Fry which is a modern retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo and it's become one of my all-time favourite books. It manages in 452 pages to do what Dumas did in 463,958 words. Of course, you can't compare like for like, but Stephen Fry did what modern authors do, he kept a fast, driving plot which made you want to keep turning pages.
And that's perhaps the key between the classics and contemporary literature. We simply don't have the time to read a 463,958-word story that can be achieved in half that time. There are a thousand and one things competing with our reading time. Computer games, television, cinema, bowling, the gym, the pub. In the seventeen and eighteen century, your options were limited. Authors could spend a few thousand words setting the scene. After all, what else were you going to do? Netflix?
Not all of the Classics are created equal, but they're still important. The Classics are the groundwork of all literature. Whether we've read them or not, it's informing our cliches, tropes and understanding of the genres. Do they have to be your favourite books? No. But you have to spend the time to appreciate them.

Would Jeff Fisher quit the St. Louis Rams after less than one year to become the head coach at Auburn? No, but some Auburn fans are dreaming about it.
A story on the Auburn coaching search in the Ledger-Enquirer says that Fisher is one of the big names that keeps popping up in discussions about who could replace the fired coach Gene Chizik.
Fisher just took over the Rams this year and has made progress while building for the future with a young roster and a franchise that has stockpiled future draft picks. He has never coached in college and never shown any interest in leaving the NFL, and his $7 million salary is twice what Auburn was paying Chizik.
So why on earth would any Auburn fan think Fisher would go there? The hope Auburn fans cling to is that Auburn sophomore safety Trent Fisher is Jeff's son, and maybe Jeff would want to coach his kid.
It's not the most outlandish theory we've ever heard in a coaching search. But it's not going to happen.

One of the most fun tools in the Picasa photo service is its ability to scan your photos and pick out the faces in them. When the Face Detection setting is turned on, you can tag photos of friends to teach Picasa to recognize a person. Picasa will then look through your other photos and tag that person wherever she is. The service's People folder will group photos by each person that's tagged to help you find who you're looking for.
Finding Those Faces
In order to have Picasa learn and then find the people in your photos, turn on the Face Detection setting. Open Picasa and click the "Tools" button to access the tools menu. Click "Options" and then the "Name Tags" tab. In this menu, check the box next to "Enable Face Detection" to turn the feature on. Click "OK" to save your setting.
Tagging Friends
Open Picasa and click the "Sign in with Google Account" menu link so you can start tagging your friends and coworkers. In the People image collection, click on the "Unnamed People" folder and Picasa will show you a series of photos to tag. It groups faces by similarity, so you can add a name once to tag all the faces in a group. You can also add names to individual photos using the "Add a person manually" button in the People panel. As you tag people in more photos, Picasa will start suggesting names for faces in new or untagged photos.

Chapter 1055: Which Paragon Did This Blood Come From!?
Not too much time passed before the puppet boy returned. Just as Ling Yunzi had said, a greater reward than usual was doled out to him and placed in a bag of holding.
He hefted the bag of holding, scanning it with divine sense for a moment before beginning to pant. He quickly retracted his divine sense, unable to bear looking at the contents. What was inevitably about to happen caused his heart such grief that if felt as if it were being cut in half with a knife. Therefore, he chose not to think about it.
This was a precious skill that Meng Hao had picked up recently. He sighed, gritted his teeth, and took out a vial of Paragon's blood to begin duplicating.
Time passed. Meng Hao's eyes were shot with blood and his hair was disheveled crazily as he fed Immortal jade and spirit stones into the copper mirror. Grimacing, he produced one duplicate after another.
Eventually, seven days passed. Meng Hao had now been in the Nine Seas God World for the greater part of a month. Finally, his bag of holding was completely devoid of all Immortal jade and spirit stones. And there in front of him was a collection of one hundred vials of Paragon's blood!
As he looked at the blood, he began to pant. He kept telling himself not to think about how much he had spent to get this much, and yet he couldn't stop himself. As soon as the slightest thought of it crossed his mind, his heart twisted into a knot.
"When I was young, I always wanted to be rich. After I started practicing cultivation, there were often times when I felt like a rich person. However, it always takes the mere blink of an eye for all of that to go away, and I'm destitute again." He wanted to cry, but no tears would come. He wasn't sure if his lifelong dream would ever actually come true.
After taking some deep breaths, his eyes filled with determination, and he produced a vast collection of medicinal pills. He put them in his mouth, and refrained from chewing them. He merely allowed them to begin to slowly dissolve.
Finally, he waved his hand and caused ten vials of Paragon's blood to fly out. Cracking sounds could be heard as the bottles shattered, and the blood itself swirled out into the air.
Ripples began to spread out as he raised both and began to mold the Paragon's blood together into one glob.
After it did, a terrifying aura began to spread out.
"Parrot! Meat jelly! Get over here and help stop this aura from spreading out!" His words echoed out at the same time that the parrot was encouraging the Demonic cultivators to sing. After it heard what he said, it muttered a few sentences to itself, then flapped its wings and flew over with the meat jelly to help suppress the aura of the Paragon's blood.
Meng Hao took a deep breath as he waved his right hand, causing ten more vials of Paragon's blood to fly out and shatter. The blood then merged into a larger sphere in front of him. The terrifying aura exploded out violently, spreading out in all directions, causing the residence around him to shake so violently it seemed it might collapse.
Meng Hao's eyes shone brightly, and without any hesitation, he waved his hand again. Ten more vials' worth of Paragon's blood collapsed and then reformed. The terrifying aura increased in intensity, and cracks spread out through the entire residence. It was at this point that the parrot arrived. It no longer looked calm and collected, but rather, let out a loud howl as it went all out to suppress the aura.
The meat jelly didn't seem very willing to cooperate, but it transformed into an enormous canopy nonetheless, which covered over the entire residence, completely preventing the aura from escaping into the outside world.
Because of Meng Hao's proximity to the combination of thirty vials of Paragon's blood, the intense pressure caused him to shake violently. However, his eyes shone brightly with determination.
"Thirty percent!" he breathed. The pressure of the blood caused him to shake, and cracking sounds could be heard. His mind was spinning violently.
He gritted his teeth and waved his hand again. Rumbling sounds could be heard as ten more vials of blood shattered. The blood flew out to join the huge sphere; now it was roughly the size of an infant's hand.
It was bright red, and shockingly, strands of gold could be seen swirling around inside, making it resplendently beautiful to the point where it tugged at the soul.
At the same time, increasingly intense pressure was cast out by the terrifying aura. The explosive power battered against Meng Hao, causing blood to ooze out of his mouth, and fissures to spread out across his skin. There was also a powerful expulsion force that threatened to cause him to explode.
His eyes shone brightly with obsession as he rotated his cultivation base, drawing on all the power of his Immortal meridians, using his secret magic to make them all Eternal. Their power surged in his body as he waved his hand again, causing ten more vials to fly out and shatter. When the blood merged into the sphere, terrifying aura erupted with further intensity.
The pressure was now so incredible that it caused Meng Hao's entire residence to collapse into pieces. The entire structure transformed into nothing more than ash!
Blood sprayed out of Meng Hao's mouth, and his hands almost shattered. His Eternal stratum surged at full power, continuously healing him, allowing him to fight back against the intense power.
The meat jelly roared and the parrot squawked shrilly as they suppressed the aura with all of their might as well.
Meng Hao was shaking, and his eyes gleamed with madness.
"Fifty percent!" He waved his hand, causing another ten vials of Paragon's blood to fly out. When they merged into the sphere, he sent out another ten, all the way until a total of eighty vials had been added together. It was now as large as an infant's head, and the pressure caused colors to flash, and the sky to grow dim.
Meng Hao felt like he was the subject of an intensely powerful attack. He was shoved backward, and blood spewed out of his mouth. His Eternal stratum worked like mad, but was incapable of keeping pace with the level of destruction, not even with all of his 123 Immortal meridians combined.
At this critical juncture, he didn't hesitate for even a moment to chomp down on half of the medicinal pills he had in his mouth. Immediately, they melted, flowing into his body with restorative energy. His Immortal power was once again restored, and he managed to bear the brunt of another aggressive blast.
The sphere of blood radiated resplendent light, as if the will of a Paragon were now awakening!
If it wasn't for the meat jelly and the parrot blocking the spread of the aura, the entire Nine Seas God World would be going completely crazy. The Ninth Sea would be aboil, and the entire Ninth Mountain would be shaking.
However, even though the aura still wasn't leaking out, the natural law in the area around Meng Hao was being affected. The air filled with distortions, as if another world were forming.
All of that... was because of the Paragon's blood!
It was not merely a single portion, but eighty portions that had been merged together. It hadn't even been refined yet, and was only an amalgamation, yet it was still a sample of Paragon's blood that was only a sliver away from being complete!
"I can do it!" Meng Hao roared, waving his hand. Rumbling could be heard as the final twenty vials of blood flew out. Half of them shattered, and the blood in them fused with the sphere. Meng Hao's hands were mangled masses of flesh, and he suddenly coughed up a huge mouthful of blood. However, a moment ago, he had crushed more of the medicinal pills in his mouth, causing their power to flow through his body and stimulate his Eternal stratum into frenzied action. The mouthful of blood he had just coughed up didn't do anything to affect the fusion of the Paragon's blood.
The meat jelly roared with increased intensity as the canopy it had formed fought to control the aura. The parrot was in midair, squawking as it caused numerous streams of magical symbols to swirl down and seal the entire area.
"Dammit! This isn't the Demongranny's blood! She might be a Paragon, but this drop of blood was definitely not produced by her. How could an unrefined drop of blood contain such shocking power!?!?"
"The last ten vials!" Meng Hao chomped down on all of the remaining medicinal pills, then waved his hand to cause the final ten vials to shatter. Blood flew out into the sphere, which was now the size of an adult human head!
The sphere of blood contained innumerable golden threads that interlocked with each other, forming vague magical symbols that seemed to contain the origin of the starry sky, the Essence of the world, the basis of all life!
The meat jelly was shaking violently, and fissures snaked out across its body. It looked like it was about to collapse, and it was shrieking in pain. The parrot was getting very nervous, almost like he had during the unforeseen flare-up of the copper mirror.
"It's not the Demongranny's blood, and it's not old man Immortal Ancient's either!" the parrot shrieked, staring in shock and disbelief. "Could it be... could it be that this... no way. Impossible! Didn't he die? As soon as he died, all of his blood should have vanished from within Heaven and Earth! How could there be some left behind!?!?
"Dammit! No wonder the mirror was acting so crazy! I thought that it was because someone was casting magic on it, but that was only one part of it! The other reason was because of this blood!!"
Blood sprayed out of Meng Hao's mouth, and he trembled violently. Despite the preparations he had made with the medicinal pills, his Eternal stratum was reaching the point where it couldn't sustain him. All of his flesh was covered with cracks and fissures, which were widening, as if he might explode at any moment.
His body was slick with blood, but his eyes were completely focused. His hands trembled as he held the sphere of blood between them and then shoved down hard.
"Refine!!" he cried. The sphere of blood gradually began to shrink and refine. As it did, more and more golden threads became visible, until, in the end, the entire mass of blood... was golden!
Meng Hao was shaking, and more cracks spread out across his skin. He felt the flame of his life force growing dim, all because of the vast pressure cast by the aura of the Paragon's blood. It was only a drop of blood, and yet Meng Hao was still no match for it. He was on the verge of collapsing. Even though the blood wasn't actually fighting him... it was still powerful enough to utterly exterminate him.
It wasn't just Meng Hao. Someone in the Ancient Realm, or perhaps even someone in the Dao Realm... would be slaughtered by this drop of blood!
Rumbling sounds echoed out, but Meng Hao endured. His body hovered on the brink of exploding as the mass of blood rapidly shrank. Soon, it was only the size of an infant's hand.
His body was covered in cracks and tears. His two hands were nothing but bloody flesh, disfigured and misshapen. And yet, his eyes still shone with laser focus.
"Refine!!" he roared. It was a roar like the final roar before death, and as soon as it left his mouth, the sphere of blood shrank down to the size of a fingernail!
As of now, it was thoroughly and completely golden!
The incomparable aura of a Paragon instantly erupted from inside the blood.
This was... true, authentic Paragon's blood!
It was complete, utterly rare, Paragon's blood!
You could even say that... it actually shouldn't exist. A drop of blood from the exact Paragon to whom the parrot had referred.
The meat jelly was screaming, and the parrot was bellowing in disbelief. Meng Hao was just barely managing to hold back from exploding when... an aura appeared which was not the aura of cultivation. It was... the aura of the League of Demon Sealers!
As soon as the aura appeared, the drop of blood began to tremble!!
A resonance was forming, almost like that of a bloodline!
"What...." Meng Hao thought, his mind trembling. Then he thought back to what Granny Nine and Godmaster had said to him. Paragon Sea Dream founded the Nine Seas God World and the Sublime Flow Sword Grotto. The Immortal Ancient Daoist Rite was founded by Paragon Immortal Ancient. As for the third Paragon, the most powerful Paragon, Paragon Nine Seals... nobody knew what he founded.
"He... founded... the League of Demon Sealers!" Meng Hao felt as if his mind were being struck by lightning.Previous Chapter Next Chapter

I know what you're thinking, "sweet moses she took her sweet arse time posting this" and you'd be right, i have taken far too much time out of the blogging world. I haven't become bored of blogging or anything, like many bloggers at the moment, i've been mounting my uni work and revision like a dog's first meeting with a giant cuddly toy only without the erotic undertones. So the shirts featured above are the latest additions to the thrifted section of my wardrobe, i can't remember which charity shop they were from, but it was in wrexham. I'm not supposed to be spending money because i'm going away for the summer and i have a stupidly small amount of money saved, but i couldn't resist the 'saved by the bell'-esque-ness and they were obviously a steal. I loves them.
NEW YOOOOOOORRK. Yes, my flights are booked for the 14th of june and i'm coming back on the 9th of september, which means that it's 34 days until i climb into a tin can and am catapulted across the atlantic. I have NO apartment or job, although i have applied for 78 apartments today and bunch of boutique jobs, but i'm so excited it's untrue. I just wanna get there and live the new yorker life.
Hope you're all dandy, what was up with the blogger downtime, huh? Weird. I have a few blogposts lined up for this week, one about my new raybans, and a few outfit posts. HURRAH.
Love and jazz

Yesterday I went diaper-free with Darla. We are trying out Elimination Communication (you might remember me mentioning it in my post on Continuum Parenting). It isn't potty training, but then again, in a very loose and long-term way it is. More so, though, it is just a form of natural elimination that helps children understand their bodies and urges at a young age, and in effect can negate the need for formal potty training or learning later in life.
In a nutshell, we are going to let Darla crawl around naked, attempt to follow her signs and leads when she has to "go," and hope some of her business lands into the potty while we hold her over it. We will also develop regular patterns of taking her to the potty at strategic times of the day, giving her the opportunity to eliminate.
So, yes, EC is like potty training in that the parent & child both work together to encourage strategic elimination into a potty (or any other "appropriate" places determined by the family such as outside, the sink, etc) instead of diapers. But, no, it is not potty training in that there will not be potty independence for quite some time (that being said, many EC'ers report independence or potty learning to be naturally reached as young as 15-16 months).
But isn't forcing a child to use the potty at such a young age unnatural for them?
I get the concern here. Many families start practicing Elimination Communication when their baby is around 2-4 months of age, and the average child in America isn't potty trained until the age of 3. EC can look a small bit shocking at first glance.
I absolutely agree that a baby should never be forced to use the potty, and in fact, I believe pressuring or forcing a child to use one before they are ready at any age is not a great idea. But i also believe…
It is natural for a baby to experience physical urges to eliminate and for them to want to act on those. It is innate for a baby to show signs of certain needs (like routing when they are hungry), and to want to communicate desires to their caregivers long before they can speak (think babies and sign language or even just reaching toward something and squawking). It is also natural for babies to not want excrete all over themselves, which is why they usually won't go while held close in a carrier, for example. (This is not a crazy concept – even dogs normally won't poop in their beds or crates.)
It is unnatural for a baby to ignore their urges, go all over themselves, and sit in it for extended periods of time.
I'm not saying that diapering is wrong by any means. Diapering is an extremely helpful tool, highly convenient, and a very culturally acceptable option that fits well with our busy lifestyles. Truthfully, I'm not ready to fully kiss our fluff goodbye yet myself. BUT, if we are discussing what is truly natural for a child, then I have to assume that asking them to become accustomed to sitting in excrement for multiple years of their life and later trying to undo that and potty-train may not be a perfect picture of going with the flow of nature either.
But doesn't EC take a ton of work?
I certainly am no expert on the topic, but I do know that our first day of going diaper-free was a smashing success; Darla and I made it into the potty 7 times out of 9, and she was dry for all three naps. I found it to be very easy – easier than diapering all day and then laundering those diapers.
I'm sure that going diaper free will involve a fair amount of effort, especially up front. I, as the parent, will need to learn to recognize & follow Darla's lead when she has to do her business as well as getting her to an appropriate excreting site on time (yeah, that's important and it is on me, an EC baby is still dependent, remember?). I would prefer to describe the "work" involved as a worthwhile investment though. Me giving great attention to my baby's needs and communication can only be a good thing. The work of figuring out our proverbial potty song and dance will inevitably get easier and more efficient with practice. And, in theory, the work put in now will lead to a smoother and earlier potty learning, a.k.a less work later.
So, are we going to do this EC thing or not?
You may have noticed that I've been a little wishy-washy in writing this post; I know, I know, I am usually much more opinionated and gung-ho than that. I certainly see the benefits of practicing EC and feel it is worth the effort. Still, I've used words like, "we are trying (it) out" or "I'm not ready." Truthfully, I do have a few hesitations: I am not sure if we waited too long to start, if I can personally handle the convenience factor of our cloth diapers being laid to rest, and how it is going to work with us being out and about (and in the car for long stretches) so often.
Ultimately I think the answer for our family requires a bit of chilling out about the method and just following Darla Bear's lead. I don't want to stress out about making it work. For now I plan to let her roam in the nude, and work with her to communicate and attend to her potty needs. When we go out of the home I plan to put a diaper on her.
That of course begs the question: Will using the potty sometimes and diapers other times confuse her? I think it would be very confusing for her if we were potty training, but as we discussed earlier, this isn't potty training – it's eliminating. Part of following Darla's lead in this will mean reevaluating in a couple of weeks and seeing where she is at and what seems natural for her.
What about you? Have you practiced EC before? Any words of wisdom? If you haven't, could you ever see yourself going diaper-free with your smallie?? Let me know in the comments below!

observations: It's peculiar to pick up a book that pre-supposes that you have read Dickens' Bleak House – and for extra credit requires knowledge of The French Lieutenant's Woman and The Woman in White. I've read all three, but had a very mixed reaction to the new book. And I can't guess what you'd make of it if you hadn't read the Dickens.
Tom-All-Alone's is a most intriguing novel, and very compelling in parts, but it does suffer from over-research. So there is 'the brutal reality of the rookery padding-kens' – they may be real and brutal to the author, but we don't know what they are. (Except they sound like Georgette Heyer – perhaps a bad-tempered but good-looking, well-dressed and very rich beau is going to turn up in a moment.)
This is such a good book in parts, it's a shame that Shepherd has sudden lapses into weird banalities like this:
Informer, undercover agent, decoy, spy: Lizzie has been all of this to him, and more. As well as a true and unfailing friend.
-- particularly strange considering that Lizzie plays no part in the book. But the rather-wonderful-undemanding-helper role will be handed over to Molly who is black, doesn't speak, but likes to have sex with the protagonist, Charles. I had a most unusual reaction to all this: If I had read the book blind I would have been convinced the author was a man, especially as Charles undergoes closely-described and violent tests of strength all the way through his quest.
And yet – it is a most enjoyable and clever book. I just wanted to edit it.
Links on the blog: Charles Dickens has come up several times (though not Bleak House), and The Woman in White (from a guest blogger) is here and here.
The picture is of a young 'criminal' called Mary Catherine Docherty, whose photo lives in the Tyne and Wear archives - she was convicted of stealing iron with some friends, and sentenced to seven days hard labour.

Project showing a basic LAMP set-up using a networked multi-container configuration.
version: '2' services: php: image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin links: - mysql:db depends_on: - mysql mysql: image: k0st/alpine-mariadb volumes: - ./data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql environment: - MYSQL_DATABASE=mydb - MYSQL_USER=myuser - MYSQL_PASSWORD=mypass nginx: image: nginx:stable-alpine ports: - "81:80" volumes: - ./nginx/log:/var/log/nginx - ./nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro - ./nginx/files:/var/www/nginx:ro depends_on: - php
worker_processes 1; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { sendfile off; server { listen 80; location / { proxy_pass http://php; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_redirect off; } } }
The nginx config is simplified but that should work for testing — basically all it's doing is proxying the php app. Maps to port 81 to avoid conflicts on the host. (Note this is just a rough demo, would need to be fleshed out for any use more than that.)
Regarding linking, you can see that if you run:
docker-compose exec mysql ping -c2 nginx to ping from the mysql container to the nginx container, you will succeed even though there are no links specified between these containers. Docker Compose will maintain those links in the default network for you.
If you like, you can fetch a working version from this repo and run docker-compose up, and (assuming you don't have anything running on port 81) see results on http://localhost:81/ (or whatever your corresponding hostname/IP is).
For more info on Docker Compose networking see: https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/
By default Compose sets up a single network for your app. Each container for a service joins the default network and is both reachable by other containers on that network, and discoverable by them at a hostname identical to the container name.
Links allow you to define extra aliases by which a service is reachable from another service. They are not required to enable services to communicate – by default, any service can reach any other service at that service's name.

I'm searching through really great amount of lines of a log file and I'm distributing those lines to groups in order to regular expressions(RegExses) I have stored using the
re.match() function. Unfortunately some of my RegExses are too complicated and Python sometimes gets himself to backtracking hell. Due to this I need to protect it with some kind of timeout.
re.match, I'm using, is Python's function and as I found out somewhere here on StackOverflow (I'm really sorry, I can not find the link now :-( ). It is very difficult to interrupt thread with running Python's library. For this reason threads are out of the game.
re.match function takes relatively short time and I want to analyse with this function great amount of lines, I need some timeout function that wont't take too long to execute (this makes threads even less suitable, it takes really long time to initialise new thread) and can be set to less than one second.
For those reasons, answers here - Timeout on a Python function call
and here - Timeout function if it takes too long to finish with decorator (alarm - 1sec and more) are off the table.
I've spent this morning searching for solution to this question but I did not find any satisfactory answer.
In the end, the solution wasn't that complicated, but I thought, that it might be useful for some other hopelessly stacked guys like me to post this simple solution here.
I've just a bit modified script posted here: Timeout function if it takes too long to finish.
And here is the code:
from functools import wraps
import errno
import os
import signal
class TimeoutError(Exception):
def timeout(seconds=10, error_message=os.strerror(errno.ETIME)):
def decorator(func):
def _handle_timeout(signum, frame):
raise TimeoutError(error_message)
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, _handle_timeout)
signal.setitimer(signal.ITIMER_REAL,seconds) #used timer instead of alarm
result = func(*args, **kwargs)
return result
return wraps(func)(wrapper)
return decorator
And then you can use it like this:
from timeout import timeout
from time import time
def loop():
while True:
begin = time.time()
except TimeoutError, e:
print "Time elapsed: {:.3f}s".format(time.time() - begin)
Which prints
Time elapsed: 0.010s
I hope, this will be helpful for someone :-)

We found this old rocker at a yard sale yesterday. I have this theory about antiques: There are two types of antiques - those that are still around because no one ever used them because they were impractical or uncomfortable, and those that are still around because they were made well. This rocker falls into the latter category: It is very sturdy and still beautiful....

After Bill brought home some wood from an old outbuilding, we found the a perfect base to use for a new work space for storing tools in the workshop. Using the cedar wood from the outbuilding, we soon had wood cut and attached to the wrought iron base. Sanding and a coat of tung oil brought out the beautiful grain of the wood.
When I spotted this primitive set of drawers at a yard sale last weekend, I just had to have it! I attached it to the newest extension of the workbench in our new workshop. I think you'll agree that this is a wonderful find. The drawers say 'Yeast Foam Root Beer.'

Regular electrical installation testing within industrial and commercial buildings in vital to the ongoing operation of your business. From wiring to fuseboards and right down to PAT testing it is important to know that your installed electrical circuitry and appliances are working correctly to avoid health & safety issues for your staff and also to ensure that nothing is over loaded which could result in a fire, which in turn could seriously disrupt your business.
Following our in depth testing procedures we provide you with a report on the existing wiring within your building along with any recommendations for work that needs to be carried out plus suggestions for improvement or efficiencies. We offer a full repair, upgrade and maintenance service. (link to repairs, upgrades page)
Insurance companies often ask for an updated electrical wiring report before renewing buildings policies as this is seen as a risk area. The main issues tend to stem from additions to original wiring where companies have expanded and adjustments have been made to accommodate more people or extra machinery.
We would highly recommend obtaining an electrical installation test if you are moving to a new leased property to ensure that you are not putting your business at risk. The building you are moving from may also require dilapidation's and we can also provide this service.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing)
Raymen & Co Electrical Ltd provide a full PAT testing service which can be scheduled annually or at intervals to suit individual requirements. These tests cover everything from kettles to photocopiers and keep you safe from electrical hazards. These reports can also be useful in providing records for your asset management.
If you would like to know more about our electrical testing services simply email email@example.com, call us on 01908 648700 or click here to complete our short contact form.

Part of an array of 120 Canon EOS 30D cameras controlled using 5 laptops running
There are two ways multiple cameras can be fired at the same time using Multi-Camera which are described below. In order to eliminate variable delays due to auto-focus the cameras should be set to manual focus and pre-focused before taking the photos.
This can be done by selecting "Gang camera shutter releases together" in preferences and then pressing the "Release" button in the main window. Multi-Camera instructs each camera to take a picture as quickly as possible and each camera will be triggered in turn with a delay of approximately 1/6 sec between each camera. This means if there are 18 cameras it will take approximately 3 secs from when the first camera takes a picture until the last camera takes a picture.
When capturing video the cameras will start one after the other with a delay of approximately 1/10th sec between each camera. Better video synchronization can be achieved using Canon EOS-1D C, Canon EOS-1D X and Canon EOS 5D Mark III cameras by triggering them using the remote release connection.
Canon EOS cameras have remote release sockets which allow the camera to be fired by simply using a switch. Multiple cameras can be fired at the same time by plugging cables into the remote release socket of each camera and witing these together to a master switch. The cameras won't all trigger at exactly the same time due to variations in the response time of each camera but they will usually all fire within approximately 1 ms to 5 ms of each other (the variation depends on camera model, lens type etc.). This variation can be reduced by activating the auto-focus via the remote release cables just before taking the photo.
This technique can also be used to start and stop video capture when using Canon EOS-1D C, Canon EOS-1D X or Canon EOS 5D Mark III cameras. To enable this the cameras need to be setup so that the shutter release button is configured to start/stop video capture (please see the camera instruction manual for details on how to set this up). The 5D Mark III must also be set to movie mode by setting the movie/camera switch to the movie position.
The remote release sockets on all EOS cameras are either a proprietary three-pin socket (higher end camera models) or a simpler standard 2.5mm jackplug with three connections. Both socket types work in exactly the same way and provide a way of remotely sending shutter elease half and full press suignals to the camera.
Remote release switches and cables can be bought as accessories from Canon or more cheaply from eBay.
The remote release switch has two positions similar to the camera's shutter release button. Half-pressure on the release switch activates the camera's auto-focus by connecting the "Ground" and "Activate AF" pins together. Full pressure on the release switch releases the camera's shutter by connecting the "Ground" and "Release Shutter" pins together. It isn't necessary to activate the auto-focus in order to release the shutter and a picture can be taken by only connecting the "Ground" and "Release Shutter" pins together. Activating the auto-focus releasing the shutter puts the camera into a heightened state of readiness and will reduce the variations between cameras.

Rebel series and recent mid range cameras (the 2.5mm jackplug socket in the middle is the remote release socket)
2.5mm 3-connection jackplug for the above cameras.
The simplest way to trigger all the cameras at the same time (to within a few milliseconds of each other) is to use a simple passive trigger system like the one shown below:
This type of trigger can be used to trigger up to 50 cameras. The diodes shown above may be omitted when trigger small numbers of cameras, but are essential for the reliable trigger of larger arrays.
If you do not wish to make your own trigger or you need programmable delays in order to synchronize cameras with flash you can use a commercial unit such as the TriggerBox from Esper Design. The TriggerBox is a high quality unit which can trigger up to 6 cameras. Multiple units can be linked together to trigger larger numbers of cameras. Please vist Esper Design's website for more information about the TriggerBox. The TriggerBox has a programmable delay for each channel which makes it suitable for triggering flash in sync with multiple cameras.
TriggerBox 6 camera trigger system from Esper Design.
If you need a more sophisticated trigger system, e.g. triggering each in sequence camera with a delay between each camera, you will need to use a sequencer, a commercial trigger such as the TriggerBox or to build your own microprocessor controlled trigger.
The diagram below shows how a microprocessor can trigger cameras using opto-isolators:
A typical setup to control and trigger 16 Canon EOS cameras from a single PC would consist of:
Most modern laptops can control up to 32 cameras using this type of setup. Desktop PCs can often control more cameras e.g. up to 70 cameras. For larger arrays of cameras you can use multiple computers networked together, each running a copy of Multi-Camera. Please see this section of the Multi-Camera help file for more information.
Please note: The maximum USB cable length allowed by the USB standard is 5m (approx 16 feet). This can be extended by using USB hubs but you are only allowed a maximum of 3 hubs daisy chained together (giving a maximum cable length of 20m). You can buy active USB cables which can be daisy chained together but please be aware that these are really cables with a self-powered USB hub on the end. Self-powered USB hubs draw power from the USB interface instead of using an external power supply and tend to be less reliable than externally powered hubs.
In operation Multi-Camera is used to control the camera settings and manage the downloading and naming of the images and the trigger system is used to trigger the cameras.
The simplest way to synchronize multiple cameras with flash is to use a slower than normal shutter speed (e.g. 1/10 to 1/30 sec) and to trigger the flash approximately 80ms to 120ms after triggering the cameras (the length of the delay will depend on the shutter lag of the cameras being used). There is some variation in the shutter lags of the cameras even when using one model of camera in the rig. This variation is typically only a few milliseconds but this is sufficient to cause problems if the flash is triggered from the hotshoe of one of the cameras because the flash is likely to fire before the shutters are fully open on all the cameras. Selecting a slower than normal shutter speed increases the length of time that the shutters are fully open on all the cameras and when the flash can be fired.
The most reliable way to trigger the flash is to connect it to the camera trigger with a delay of approximately 5 milliseonds longer than the shutter lags of the cameras. This will require the use of a sophisticated camera trigger with programmable delays for each channel. This method will reliable flash sync with slightly higher shutter speeds (e.g. 1/30 to 1/60 sec) than altenative methods. The TriggerBox from Esper Design has programmable delays for each trigger channel and is suitable for triggering flash in sync with multiple cameras.
A simpler, but slightly less accurate way to trigger the flash is to trigger it from the hotshoe of one of the cameras with a delay of approximately 5 milliseconds. This is less accurate than the first method because the camera triggering the flash could be the first camera in the array to open its shutter or the last camera in the array. A slightly longer shutter speed (e.g. 1/10 to 1/30 sec) needs to be used to allow for this variation in timing. The flash could be triggered using a PocketWizard Plus Multimax trigger which has a programmable delay (unfortunately this model has been discontinued). A novel alternative is to use an extra camera to trigger the flash by setting the shutter speed to 1/30 sec and selecting second curtain sync.
The photo below was taken using 5 camera rig comprising 4 different camera models: 2 x Canon EOS 600D (aka Rebel T3i), 1 x Canon EOS 650D (aka Rebel T4i), 1 x Canon EOS 700D (aka Rebel T5i), 1 x Canon EOS 1200D (aka Rebel T5). A single Yongnuo YN-568EX II flash was used for the lighting.
An arduino based programmable trigger with 8 channels was used to trigger the cameras and flash. The external release connections of the cameras were connected to the first 5 channels of the trigger and different delays were set for each channel to ensure that all the cameras opened their shutters at the same time. The flash was connected to channel 6 of the trigger and programmed with a delay of 5 millisconds longer than the cameras so that the flash fired when all the camera shutters are fully open.
The cameras were connected to a Windows 10 laptop via USB. The USB cables from each camera were connected to a 6-port USB hub which was connected to the laptop. The USB hub was externally powered for maximum reliablility.
Multi-Camera was used to control the cameras and to automatically download the photos to the laptop. The Multi-Camera Animator was used to align the photos from the cameras and create animated GIFs which were displayed to guests using Breeze Kiosk. All three pieces of software were running on the same laptop computer.
A simple radio remote shutter release was connected to the input of the trigger so that the whole system could be operated using a hand held release. After pressing the remote release it took approximately 10 to 15 seconds to download the photos from each camera, create the animated GIF and present it to the guests in Breeze Kiosk. Over 90 sets of photos were taken in just under three hours at the party where the "Abba" photo above was taken.
Please note: The 8 channel arduino based trigger used for this system was designed and built by Chris Breeze for experimental purposes only. This trigger is not available for sale (Breeze Systems only develops software and does not sell hardware). Similar results can be achieved using a commercial trigger such as the TriggerBox from Esper Design.
