Strange, my 50001/N does not like this unfortunately. Verified my network is set up correctly by using uLaunchELF NetFS/FTP, but as soon as I launch 0.9.2A the network vanishes. Another odd note is when I hit the power button, it instantly shuts down the hard drive, but the Blue eject light stays on, and perhaps the oddest thing I have ever seen, the power light turns red like normal, but then (within 500ms), yellow (?!) (both red and green LEDs on). It stays yellow until I reset the system either via power switch, power button, or eject button.
Edit: Both 0.9.2 and 0.9.2A do this. 0.8.7 seems to get a ping reply, and connect just fine (with older 0.8.3 hdl_dumb).
Speed on 0.8.7 is 1.5 MBps
My setup is a direct Cat5 Patch Cable between laptop and ps2.
Edit 2: Despite 0.8.7 working fine, it also does the yellow light thing.

Hi, thanks for the response. Yeah, I tried that. I remember having to do that with the original 0.9.0. As I said, the network will start in uLE, but as soon as either 0.9.2 are launched, the network seems to vanish. The PS2 stops responding to ping, and neither 0.8.3 or 0.9.0 hdl_dumb can connect.
0.8.7 and OPL's HDL Server both work normally, regardless of uLE's network state. Both give me a max of 1.5MBps.
my tests with 0.9.*
original 0.9.1
extraction ~3.66mb/s
installation ~3.1mb/s
extraction ~3.85mb/s.
installation ~ 5.87mb/s; varies but drops at worst point down to 5.1mb/s.
i expected extraction to be much faster than installation with this version too. it seems it's not the case.
That's... very bizarre. @_@
I can say that the issue is probably because of the SMAP driver - somehow something related to the DEV9 (The DEV9 interface, the SMAP and HDD) system isn't getting shut down properly.
The fat PS2 will not shut down when the software controlling the DEV9-related hardware does not give the green light for a power-off (So if the IOP of the PS2 freezes - the PS2 cannot be switched off without holding the power button for quite some time).
Is your console modified? Are you using an original Sony Network Adaptor?
Whatever that was, the connection issue will probably get fixed when I make a new driver setup based on the existing (PS2SDK) SMAP driver.
Wow! 5.87MB/s (!)
The lack of improvement in extraction performance is probably because of the speed limitation of the IOP of the PS2 and how fast your HDD is. Another possible reason is that the extraction code for the HDL Dump server v0.9.2A isn't well optimized.
I only modified the SMAP and protocol handling code to accommodate the much higher rates of the SMAP driver with DMA support - so I have no idea how efficient HDL Dump server v0.9.x actually is.
But I can say that an extra ~300KB/s might be gained with some tweaks.
yellow light would come up for me in HDL, when i tried to power down the console as it was barely done scanning game list. or during intensive I/O in some games.
it usually means the hdd didn't have time to spin down/shut down properly.
i turn hdl server off remotely with poweroff command. i am not sure why wouldn't the networking work for you.
i have 50004 (if i remember correctly) and i am not having such issues.
i forgot to mention - the games install/extract properly and work fine. i will do some extra testing extracting and then installing the image again with a few big images to make sure.
I decided to try again today, but through my router instead of patched. So I started uLE networking, then loaded 0.9.2a from my HDD Apps folder. Instead of showing the default hdld_svr screen with the "Ready." etc, it just went blank, but the ping was still there. So I tried hdl_dumb 0.9.0 and it worked. My speed is about 1.6-1.9mB/s.

Gap in vegetable supplies relates to freeze
Although the severe California freeze occurred a month ago, vegetable markets continue to feel the impact. The freeze has put a squeeze on the supply of several salad staples. An Imperial Valley farmer says the cold slowed the maturity of crops such as iceberg and romaine lettuce. That may lead to a short-term shortfall in supermarkets and restaurants. Farmers estimate it could take about two weeks for supplies to catch up with demand.
Governor backs emergency farm aid
Saying that an "unfolding crisis" in the state's farm communities requires "swift assistance and attention," Governor Schwarzenegger urged Congress (Friday) to provide emergency assistance to California. The governor wrote to congressional leaders, advocating passage of an Emergency Farm Assistance Act. If passed, the measure would provide relief for crop losses suffered from last month's freeze, last year's heat wave and from flooding in 2005.
Grape crush drops from previous record
Harvests from California's winegrape vineyards returned to more typical levels last year, according to a preliminary report (issued Friday). The report says wineries crushed nearly 3.5 million tons of grapes, down 20 percent from the record-breaking harvest of a year earlier. The crush dropped for most varieties, including chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and zinfandel ... but the crush of pinot noir winegrapes increased 11 percent.
Study: Irrigation brings temperatures down
Conserving irrigated farmland could help in the fight against global warming, according to a University of California study. Using computer models, researchers from the UC Merced and Santa Cruz campuses determined that irrigation on farms causes summertime mean temperatures to drop. One professor says the study shows that converting Central Valley farmland to urban uses may result in "a much hotter Central Valley" in the future.

This fist entry is both a test while configuring and finding my way in the Blogger environment and workings, and a brief hello to everyone who, from now on, may be interested in reading whatever I have to say. As a computer technology professional (and hobbyist at the same time) many technical things attract my attention, and I like to fiddle with a variety of systems, gadgets and whatever I read about, lay my hands or put my eyes on.
For a long time I have refrained from having my own web-site-blog or whatever it is called in the future because I don't usually have time to write regularly and being unable to maintain a steady presence I very well know would quickly wither (pun intended: see next paragraph) the public attention I may get. But I have found that I sometimes have interesting things to share, maybe not regularly, but occasional in-depth reviews or pieces of information not yet shared elsewhere, and I also can as time permits echo important technological developments in as clear a way as I am capable.
For the record, Síorghlas is the Irish word for Evergreen, an alias I've used for many years in electronics networks but one that I increasingly find used by other people. So now that I am finally creating a (I hope) permanent and unequivocal online identity, I think it fitting to use a synonym in a language I much like because of so-called Celtic music. And I would also not find much people who uses it, opposed to Perenne (Spanish), Perennant (French), Immergrün (German), etc. So, as you'll understand, I hope Síorghlas does honor its meaning and helps my blog not wither!
I hope my musings, reflections and ramblings happen to be useful or at least not a complete waste of time for you my unknown reader. Of course, you can express your comments and make yourself known, even get to be a follower! Though, I must say, that "follower" terminology is not much to my liking: I find it somewhat derogatory to the skills of those following, as if a guru to be blindly followed by in-awe subjects. Neither do I like to think of them as my "fans", as if I were someone above others to be admired. I believe in the equality of human beings, even in being full of shortcomings, so, to me, you will always be just my chaps.
As I tweet more regularly than I will be able to post (the short and to-the-point nature of Twitter helps!), you can either... er... "follow" me there as well or just read the latest ones down on this page. And with this I conclude what I intended to be a short entry! Be posting to you!

1 - Fire in my Veins
There are many ways to torture someone. You can beat the person or give him electroshocks. You can even burn him or make him feel pain in other ways. You can let him watch how you slowly kill his family or his friends. You can refuse to give him water or food. You can even torture someone by giving the person no chance to sleep. There are many ways to gain information violently. Humankind had tortured members of it's own race since their beginning and all the time developed more effective types of horror. Sometimes people resist long enough to die before they give away the information, but in most of the cases the torturers get what they want. Lately the most effective torture consisted in pain, but now there is a much better thing these men can do. If they want information, they won't harm you or your family, but they will destroy your entire life. My story is nothing for wimps, so these might not continue here. As for the rest try to see the things like saw them...
I was living in a small town near nothing at all. The next major city was fifteen miles away and on the way you might only find fields and rocks. The only reason to live here was the calm atmosphere and the bio-laboratory a ten-minutes drive away. I was working there. My job was quite simple. The professors, doctors and other high-status researchers came to me, gave me some syringes with some substances and I needed to inject these things into animals. Then I only needed to write down what happened. It was a stupid job, but a well paid one. I owned a little house at the borders of the town and lived there with my wife and my little son. I had married three years ago and my wife, Helen, and me were happy. Our son, Julian, was four years old and already very smart. The day, which gone all wrong, had started like every other day. There were no signs that this day would be the last normal day in my life.
The alarm clock rang at six o' clock in the morning and I just didn't want to get up as always. When I finally convinced myself of getting out of the bed I dressed myself and prepared the breakfast. Helen was still asleep and I didn't want to wake her, so I left without saying goodbye. I opened the door of my black car and entered the cabin. The air was cold and so I shivered when I started the engine and drove away. I did not really care about the white van parked in front of our house. I stopped asking myself what would have happened if I would have cared. But so I drove out of the street, out of the town and over the road to the facility. When the buildings of the compound towered over me I didn't noticed how the guards, who opened the gate for me, stared at me. I drove to the next parking lot and left the car. The morning was still cold and the white clouds hurried across the sky, carried by the frozen wind. I ran towards the building I was working in and opened the door. Warm air welcomed me through the door and I entered smiling. On my way towards the labs I passed several offices. The persons in them looked up when I passed, I felt their stares in my back. I felt uncomfortable, but even so I entered the laboratory and looked around. Everything in the right place. Then all went black.
When I awoke I didn't know what had happened. I was seated in a metal chair. The air was freezing. I tried to move, but my hands were bound tightly. I started to panic. Where was I? The room was lighted by a single lightbulb dangling on it's cable right above me. I couldn't make out the walls, so the room must have been huge, but the light was so bad I couldn't tell. I tried to relax. There had to be a reason for all this, a strange, weird reason. I waited. It was the only thing I could do. I was tightly bound to the chair and this was bolted to the floor. I closed my eyes and concentrated. What might have brought me here? Suddenly the room was brightly lighted. The burning brightness pushed through my eyelids and nearly blinded me. I didn't dare to open my eyes.
"So", a male voice next to me said, "what do we have here?"
I didn't know from where the man came, I hadn't heard him enter the room.
"Mr. Anderson do you know why you are here?", the man continued. "You are here, because you robbed us. You are here because you stole important information. Information is a very valuable good nowadays. But as an intelligent man you know that, am I right Mr. Anderson?"
I dared to open my eyes. The light came from above me of the room, the entire ceiling was a huge light. In the wall opposite to me I could see an open door. The man now in front of me was wearing a suit and black sunglases. He seemed to be one of the agents of the matrix. I laughed at the thought.
"What is so funny, Mr. Anderson? Do you think I'm joking?"
The man walked around me and stopped in my back. Suddenly I felt his hand pressing on my shoulders.
"I will be straight forward, Mr. Anderson. We have evidence that you possessed the information. The only thing we need is the knowledge about to who you sold it. But As you won't be very trustworthy we brought a little... insurance."
He walked in front of me again. Strangely he still seemed to press my shoulders, even as he wasn't touching me. I shook myself to get rid of this unsettling feeling. It didn't work. The man gestured towards the open door and another man wearing a suit appeared. He was pushing forward two persons. The older one, a woman, held a little boy. My heart froze when I recognized them. The man pressed my family to the floor. There kneeling in front of me were Helen and Julian. The men smiled.
"So now I have your attention", the first one said.
The next hour the men were questioning me. They asked questions I couldn't answer them and every time I told them I don't know the answer. They shouted at me. I was feeling sick because I was getting my family in such a great danger, but I was telling the truth, I really didn't know what was going on. At some point the man who brought my wife and my child produced a gun of his suit and pointed at Helens head.
"Tell them! Tell them what you've done!", she shouted at me and I only could stare at the weapon.
"So, once again", the first suit-wearer said, "did you sell the information, or did you not?"
"I already told you!", I shouted, I hoped the men would finally accept the truth.
"You're stubborn, but we will break you", the man in front of me said.
He gestured towards his colleague and this one pointed with his gun and fired. My wife shouted in pain as she broke to the floor. The bullet had penetrated her leg and the wound was bleeding fiercely. I stared at her. I couldn't do anything but stare. She was holding her leg, crying. The puddle of blood spread across the floor. Some moments later the men left, dragging my son with them.
"If you don't want your son to share this fate, then I would begin to talk", he said just before he disappeared.
Helen stopped crying I feared she might try to find our son, but she just turned to face me. She looked at me with this sad stare and silently asked "Why?".
After a few more minutes Helen fell unconscious, due to the constant loss of blood. I feared her death, but I knew there was nothing I could do. This simple truth drew me mad. I tried to break the strings holding me and tried to stand up breaking the bolts of the chair. Useless. So the life of my beloved wife vanished. The blood reached my shoes and I finally looked up and cried out my sorrow. I promised to myself I would kill these men. At this moment I didn't know how to do it, but it didn't matter in this second. The only ting that mattered was my endless rage.
I tried to find some sleep. If I would try to free myself, save my son and take revenge, I would need all my strength. I closed my eyes, but the white light couldn't be shut out. It was impossible to sleep, when I deemed away horrible pictures tortured me. Then the man holding the gun had my face and was grinning at me when he fired. No, I couldn't sleep. When two men in overalls came and carried away the body of my wife I didn't protest. I waited for the men, but they didn't come. In the white room one looses all sense for time. I had no idea how long they held me there. It might have been months for all I know. When the men finally returned they brought my son with them. They sat him against the wall, and then one of them left again. He locked the door behind him.
"This poor child had seen his mother die", the other man said and touched Julian's head, "do you really want him to die, too? Or let him watch his father die? I can't imagine you want that. So why don't you tell me what I want to know and we all can go home?"
"Shut up bastard!"
I insulted him, I hated him.
"Mr. Anderson... I hoped the death of your wife would make you more cooperative. Unfortunately we don't have much more time, but luckily we had a little breakthrough at one of our research labs. We have developed a mutagenic substance, which I will inject you. I have an antidote, but it won't be able to return you to your true self forever, so it would be nice of you to speak quickly. Oh yes, I will turn you into a monster right in front of you son. If you don't tell me what I want I will destroy your life."
The man stepped closer and reached into the pocket of his jacket and suddenly held a syringe in his hand. It contained a clear substance, like water. I knew this wasn't water, water wouldn't kill me, wouldn't harm me. The man reached out and the needle entered my neck. I felt the liquid enter, but there was nothing I could do. In horror I stared at the man, who was destroying my life for something I didn't do. My last sight I had as human was my son sitting at the wall in fear of what was happening to his dad. I looked down at my hand, I felt an annoying itching in it. The suit-wearer reached into his pocket again and produced another syringe. It looked exactly the same as the first one, but instinctively I guessed it was the antidote. The man shook it when he asked again.
"Well Mr. Anderson? Will you help us now? From where did you get the information? We found it on your desk! From where?!"
I ignored him. The itching became worse and my entire arm went numb. Like tiny rubies red scales appeared on them. Interested the man looked at my arm, too.
"Here you have the proof that I was not lying. Will you help us now or will you not?"
Suddenly the numbness disappeared and unbearable pain took it's place. More and more scales disrupted my skin. I pressed my teeth together. I didn't want to scream before my son. By now my arm was covered in fire red scales and it continued to spread across my upper arm and shoulder. Suddenly long, sharp claws pierced through my fingertips, sending some blood to the floor. The pain grew as the transformation got faster, spreading across my body. I gritted my teeth harder. In a moment my hair fell out replaced by scales. Tears ran down my face as I looked down and saw the scaly hide of my arms. What was I turning into? Finally I screamed when my muscles began to flex and grew in size and power. The strings holding me snapped, but my sorrow was so great I didn't even notice. I fell to the floor, when a long tail erupted from my back pushing me forward. I landed on all fours and suddenly noticed that my hands had turned into paws. I was supposed to walk like that. I stared down in fear when the bones in my feet snapped and grew longer. I looked back and saw them pushing through my shoes. They had no longer five toes, but four with long claws. The pain returned, worse than ever, in my back. I felt the bones shiver and replacing themselves. And just a second later two large wings erupted from my back. I broke down to the floor, crying. They had stolen me everything I possessed, even my humanity. I looked up in anger. Suddenly my sight blurred and in an instant I knew my eyes had turned yellow and my pupils had become slits. I growled when my head grew longer forming a muzzle, consuming the last of my humanity. The man looked at me satisfied, but his stare became more unsure when I reached out for him. Finally he let out a long painful scream, when I crushed him in my jaws. My son stared at me in fear and I was sorry I couldn't hug him.
"Come here my son. Give me a hug", I growled and hoped Julian would understand I was still his dad.
He came running towards me and hugged me as strong as he could. He was crying. Until today I can only guess how terrible this time must have been for this four-year-old, but he is still at my side. When we escaped through a hole I ripped into the ceiling I sat the entire complex on fire. As I was turned into a dragon I found it easy to breath fire. Julien is now sixteen and his greatest desire is to be like his dad. I'm still smiling at the thought.

Samba is a Brazilian dance and musical genre originating in Bahia and with its roots in Brazil (Rio De Janeiro) and Africa via the West African slave trade and African religious traditions. It is recognized around the world as a symbol of Brazil and the Brazilian Carnival. Considered one of the most popular Brazilian cultural expressions, samba has become an icon of Brazilian national identity. The Bahian Samba de Roda (dance circle), which became a UNESCO Heritage of Humanity in 2005, is the main root of the samba carioca, the samba that is played and danced in Rio de Janeiro.

A stylish bookshelf, or a sticky note paper attached to your phone, or maybe a charger that relieves you of wires. The Gadget Flow is a hub for innovative and stylish gadgets. Here are this week's top 5 gadgets we fell in love with.
The Worton Weekender Leather Bag By Blue Claw
The Worton Weekender leather bag combines functionality and luxury at a price of just $325. The waterproof linen makes it easy to clean and is also perfect to protect your contents inside the bag.

This bag from Blue Claw is another name for style, made out of full-grain leather and resilient non-rip ballistic nylon.
Kartell Bookworm Shelf
Kartell Bookworm Shelf is a combination of creativity and technology. A flexible bookshelf is not something we think of every day. Extrusion technology is usually used for plastic bottles and containers. However, a careful analysis of this technology has made it possible to make a curved bookworm shelf. It is available at The Gadget Flow at a price of just $800. Along with the flexibility, superb durability supporting around 20lbs between each support, makes this bookworm a must have.
Stickable iPhone Paperback Notes
At just $8, you can now make your iPhone back not just look like a bright yellow sticker note paper but actually make notes on that. How? With Stickable iPhone Paperback Notes. There are many apps to do all these listing and organizing stuffs, but still scribbling immediately and striking it through when not needed with a pen sounds more "do-able" than accessing an app. It might sound old fashioned, but if asked, people still pull out paper to make sudden emergency or not-so-sudden non-emergency notes.You can either stick one paper, or a stack of few papers behind your iPhone- It's handy and helpful.

1. Insomniac responds to Resistance 3 multiplayer critics |
2. Stevenson hits back |
Disappointed fans wasted no time letting the developers know how they feel about the multiplayer mode, with some saying that it's missing that "special sauce" from Resistance: Fall of Man. Given the growing number of complaints, Insomniac Games Community Manager James Stevenson finally stepped in to address the issue at the PlayStation Blog.
"Considering we will have had 3 years cooking special sauce for R3 -- I suggest you play it first, you might be surprised," he said . And he does make a good point, too, considering that the game's not even out and the presentation at the GDC did not faithfully encapsulate everything that can be found in the game.
Stevenson also couldn't help but react to one commenter's statement that the Resistance 3 was disappointing because he could not find much difference between the humans and chimeras from R2 and R3. The commenter then described the latest installment of the franchise as a "magic spell contest as opoposed to a weapon fight."
100% of voters think this story ROCKS! |
30 would be fine. Well ok new game mechanics as Insomniac promises so lets see. I would buy i´d just for the singleplayer and coop was only 8 players, too I think. Luckily it remains the Online coop.
Hail Resistance and let´s see if their work changing so much pays off or not.
Really who gives a f**k about graphics its called a videoGAME for a reason.
That makes no sense
All I know is this: Insomniac is a great developer.
I'll trust them until they prove me wrong.

Battle For Women's No. 1 P4P – Holm Or Hernandez? |
Written by David A. Avila | |||
Monday, 30 November 2009 18:00 | |||
A smoldering debate has arisen regarding who is the best female prizefighter pound for pound: Holly "Hottie" Holm or Melissa "I Am Womyn's Boxing" Hernandez. In the west many argue Holm has strafed through the junior welterweight, welterweight, and junior middleweight divisions against many of the biggest names of those aforementioned divisions.

Exploring Older Male Worker Labour Force Participation Across OECD Countries in the Context of Ageing Populations: A Reserve Army of Labour?
The governments of many developed economies are confronting a number of policy issues associated with ageing populations. For example, pension reforms, increasing the labour force participation of older workers and increasing the standard retirement age are various policy reforms suggested by the OECD to cope with the fiscal strain associated with ageing populations. However, many of the same governments now embracing these reforms had until recent times allowed the early exit of older workers from the labour force by various means in periods of excess labour supply, leading to the allegation that these governments had treated older workers as a 'reserve army of labour'. In this paper panel models for the labour force participation of males aged 55-59 and 60-64 years in 12 OECD countries are estimated as a function of social security and labour market variables covering the time period 1967 to 2007. In contrast to previous OECD modelling, allowances are made for both country specific intercept and slope terms in various specifications, thereby allowing the incorporation of unique aspects of each country's social security system or labour market. In addition, both long run models and also short run models incorporating error correction terms are estimated. The findings suggest that the 'one size fits all' policy advocated by the OECD is inadequate to address country specific factors affecting older worker labour force participation. The recent pension reforms are now out of character with the reserve army of labour explanation and results also imply that governments in many OECD countries will struggle to increase older male labour force participation through pension policy reform alone, without addressing the important role of the aggregate labour market.Download Info

Exciting fight for county honours in the Humberside Cross Country Championships
Posted: January 10, 2013
|A MUDDY test of strength and stamina awaited the region's runners as they battled for honours.
The Humberside Cross Country Championships were contested at Beverley Westwood, while the Lincolnshire showdown was held at Louth.
At the Humberside meeting, Clee AC put out a strong team of seven in the senior men's race.
Andy Ely was pick of the crop in 11th place, ahead of Paul Evison, James Woodhouse, Nick Gregory, John Spauls, Andrew Gristwood and Jimmy Dutch.
The club's senior ladies also ran well, with Lisa Foster (15th), Mandy Aisthorpe (16th) and Jayne Benford (27th) performing solidly.
Wolds Vets trio Gary Coulam, Bill Ward and Neil Pattison were in action, as were ladies Jane Morley and Anne Mortimer.
The senior men's race was won by Harrow's Jim Cooper, but as he was ineligible for the Humberside championships, the title of county champ went to the next man over the line – Phill Taylor of Bridlington Road Runners.
He did well to fend off the challenge of Gregan Clarkson, the fourth-placer in this year's Cleethorpes New Year's Day 10K, and Stuart Carmichael – last year's county cross winner.
The senior ladies' race was won by Scunthorpe AC's Sarah Kemshall.
Clee AC coaches were pleased with the haul of medals in the junior categories.
Bray Davies (5th), Archie Woods (6th) and Nathan Smith (9th) claimed gold team medals in the Under-11 boys' race.
This was followed by the Under-13 girls' event, with Olivia Evans having a fine run to secure fourth place.
In the Under-13 boys' tussle, Ben Plumpton (6th), Matthew Church (7th) and Bradley Mortlock (8th) won silver team medals. Beth Barley took fourth place in the Under-15 girls' race, while in the Under-15 boys' contest, Jamie Kirkham (5th), Luke Nuttall (6th) and Thomas Nuttall (8th) won the silver team award.
For Grimsby Harriers, Henry Cullen came third in the Under-11 boys' race and Molly-Anne Welton won the Under-11 girls' contest.
A handful of runners from the area took part in the Lincolnshire County Championships at London Road, Louth.
Both the senior men's and ladies' races developed into exciting showdowns between some fine athletes.
A measure of the quality of the senior men's race was that the winner of this year's New Year's Day 10K, Richard Brown, could only manage sixth.
The battle for first place was fought out in style between Lincoln Wellington's Matt Bowser and Notts AC's Aaron Scott. No more than a few seconds separated the pair throughout the whole race.
Bowser knows he has to win races like this if he is ever to receive an international vest again – and he did the business, just beating his rival by two seconds.
In the senior ladies' race, Louth-based Natalie Farrow, who competes for Lincoln Wellington AC, was locked in a close battle with Nene Valley Harriers pair Phillipa Taylor and Cathryn Folly.
Taylor won by one second from Folly, with Farrow third, a further four seconds back.
In the junior races, Grimsby Harrier Lucy Gash had a solid race, finishing 10th in the Under-13 girls' race against rivals older than herself.
Jake O'Sullivan, who had been suffering with illness in the days leading up to the event, battled to 13th place in the Under-13 boys' race.

Bolton Parish Church clock to get £15,000 facelift after hand got stuck (From The Bolton News)
Bolton Parish Church clock to get £15,000 facelift after hand got stuck
10:04am Wednesday 2nd October 2013 in News By Peter Devine
ON a building where Bolton steeplejack Fred Dibnah made a name for himself a £15,000 project is well underway.
The project at Bolton Parish Church will see the restoration of the clock's 12ft dial and its inner workings.
It is part of ongoing repairs to keep the building looking its best, and is being carried out by Mike Tomlinson, aged 46, who like Fred, has spent more than 25 year scaling the heady heights — to repair clocks up and down the land.
Mr Tomlinson, who works for clock specialists Smith of Derby, said: "I understand the last time this dial was done it was done by Fred who used a plank of wood, a rope and a Capstan Full Strength cigarette in his mouth.
These days Mr Tomlinson abseils his way down with an assistant to perch over the Victorian dial and carry out the necessary renovations.
"I suppose the scariest moment for me was once working on another church when I went into free fall after my ropes dropped into a church gulley," he said.
"I only fell five feet but so long as we follow safety procedures each time there is little chance of me coming to any harm."
Like Fred, Mr Tomlinson has no problems about hanging around 187ft above the Bolton, as this week he embarks on making templates for some rusty dial brackets, brushes the face in readiness to apply grey primer, and depending on weather, painting the black gloss to the cast iron dial, which has been in situ since the church was first opened in 1871.
If all goes according to plan 330 sheets of the delicate gold leaf will be studiously applied to the Roman numeral next week.
The six foot hands will then be replaced with work set to be complete by October 11.
Church warden Cllr John Walsh said: "This is part of our ongoing cycle of repairs to the church and its clock.
"We had initially planned to repair the six foot minute hand, which had sheared off and was stuck at six on the clock face, but after an inspection it was decided to restore the clock face and workings.
"This is a landmark building and as such we wanted it looking at it looking at its best."
Mr Tomlinson added: "There's a lot of pride involved in this industry and to be able, when it is finished, to stand back and say I did that is something that is immensely satisfying."

Also from the Copenhagen Post
A housing association with homes for the elderly in Copenhagen's Nørrebro district is in the process of constructing a barbed wire fence to protect its clients against young people from the adjacent Mjølnerparken housing estate, reports Berlingske Tidende newspaper.The Mjølnerparken youths have for some time been unwelcome visitors to the garden area that belongs to the Lejerbo Association and is exclusively for the residents in the Hothers Plads senior housing complex. In addition, the buildings have been plagued by burglary, vandalism, theft and rock throwing from the nearby housing estate occupants.
Construction of the fence, which will be 2.5 metres high with barbed wire on top, has so far been sabotaged by the youths, and the workers have expressed fears for their safety.
Copenhagen's deputy mayor of social affairs, Mikkel Warming, is now calling on the city's street workers to deal with the unruly young people. The fence, along with a few security cameras that will also be set up, will reportedly cost the housing association and its clients around 1.5 million kroner.
Thats $255,000 or £165,000. A lot of money to deal with the children of this small estate. What the article doesn't say about the Mjølnerparken housing estate is that it is home to 2,500 people, 98% are immigrants (including second generation) of 38 different nationalities, mostly Arabs and Africans, the majority under 18 years old. The area is known for its high crime rate.
One of the comments suggests it would be preferable to put a lid on the estate to contain the hooligans.

At issue are the electronic transfers that many gamblers use to move money between their bank accounts and offshore casinos. Such transfers, which often go through a third-party payment company, are the lifeblood of the online gambling industry. (Another aspect of the legislation, which the banking group doesn't oppose, would formalize a ban on using credit cards to fund accounts. Many banks began voluntarily blocking such transactions five years ago, at the request of regulators.)
[online.wsj.com...] A group representing 5,000 small banks is opposing a tool lawmakers hope to use to stop illegal online gambling, posing a challenge to what is widely seen as the government's best shot at cracking down on the activity.

A Dye Job to Die For…
By Natural Organics[Editor's Note: This is a post from the archives...since then I went back to my light brown hair with highlights...I guess I do think blondes have more fun! ]
I recently took the plunge and dyed my hair. I've come to realize that hair color is quite changeable and can give you a fresh look. This was the first time I had dyed my entire head because for years I was highlighting it. Until two years ago, I was using regular hair dye at the salon, not realizing what kinds of toxins and chemicals I was putting into my body.
Yes, the body does absorb what it put into the hair and scalp.
Normal hair dyes can be very damaging to the hair and scalp. I have heard stories of allergic reactions, hair breakage and even hair loss. Is it worth it to risk your health for your hair? I don't think so.
It's even been said that because Jackie O developed lymphoma because she dyed her hair using dark colored dyes throughout her life….the darker the dye the more dangerous it is!
Most commercial hair dyes contain coal tar, a derivative of coal. Hair professionals and people who dye their hair often are the most at risk for the effects of coal tar. Studies show that people who are exposed to coal tar dyes on a regular basis (at least once a month) are more at risk for developing bladder cancer than others. Check your hair dye box and look for the following ingredients:
If you see any of these, better safe then sorry…toss that box!
Alternatives include henna hair color, which is a natural plant derived colorant. Although henna is great for darker hair, it cannot lighten hair.
I have gone to the salon to get highlights with organic hair color. Now that I have actually dyed my hair with all over color, I would be more likely to go to the health food store and buy a box of organic hair color too. As you can see, plenty of options exist. You do not have to put up with that grey!
So say no to coal tar dyes…and yes to organic beauty and health!
Stay natural…stay beautiful…go green!

Just out of curiosity, have you managed to find a good Natural/Organic dye for home use? I'm presently heanna'ing but since my hair is dark brown it doesn't show up unless I'm standing out under the sun.
.-= Michelle´s last blog ..DIY Haircare: Flaxseed Hair Gel =-. -
http://www.thetakebacktour.com Renee
I have tried Naturtint which I found at Whole Foods and a local co-op. My hair is super dark and it works great on the gray and leaves my hair soft like when I use henna! I am allergic to lavender so I cannot use many organic dye products, but I am pleased with Naturtint products and their selection of colors.

Hi Michelle,
As of yet I have not found one for home use….but when researching for this post I did find this: EcoColors. It has great ingredients but I have not personally used it. Anyone else found a good nontoxic home hair color?
http://www.toxicbeautyblog.com Robin Adler
Thanks for your wonderful input!
http://www.yesiamgreen.com Michelle
I appreciate that link Robin. I might email 'em to learn more. Don't get me wrong, henna has done wonders for my hair but I would love some actual visible color – know what I mean?
@Renee I'll take a look around at our local health food store the next time I visit. Thanks a bunch:)

Cardinals happy to be at full strength for playoffs
The Cromwell-Wright Cardinals' thrashed the Floodwood Polar Bears 30-12 in a Section 5 Nine-Man semifinal on a brisk Saturday evening at Hammer Field in Floodwood.By: Tyler Korby, Pine Journal
FLOODWOOD – Tyler Hakamaki didn't touch the football often Saturday night, but the Cromwell-Wright sophomore was definitely a factor in Saturday's playoff game against arch-rival Floodwood.
Returning for his first game since breaking his left fibula in his team's season-opener Aug. 31, Hakamaki – fully-healed nearly two months later – rushed for a score and led in tackles en route to the Cardinals' 30-12 thrashing of the Polar Bears in a Section 5 Nine-Man semifinal on a brisk Saturday evening at Hammer Field in Floodwood.
Hakamaki, a 5-foot-10, 194-pound fullback-linebacker, forced a fumble in the second quarter and scored a 4-yard touchdown in the third. He ran for 45 yards on 10 attempts, but most of all, created energy.
"We got Ty back; it got us pumped," said Cromwell-Wright senior quarterback Jared Hutar, who accounted for three touchdowns in the rout. "He's our most physical running back and our middle linebacker. He's just physical; we like that most. Now we're at full strength."
Hakamaki said he returned to full strength after using crutches, wearing a walking boot and seeing a sports medicine doctor. He said he lifted weights to keep his upper body toned. He was cleared to play last Monday, had full-contact practice Wednesday and competed Saturday night.
"I'm feeling good now," Hakamaki said after the game. "I started playing football in fifth grade and my dad has had me working out ever since I was young. I put all of my hard work into football."
Cardinals Coach Jeff Gronner agreed.
"He's one of our hardest workers all offseason," he said. "He broke his leg in the first quarter of our first game but, now, having him back really helps. It's huge to have him back."
Cromwell-Wright (6-4) never trailed Saturday, avenging an earlier 24-21 road loss to Floodwood Oct. 12. Quarterback Willow Christensen scored both touchdowns for the Polar Bears.
The Cards have eliminated the Polar Bears in three of the last four playoff matchups. Overall, the Cardinals have won seven of the rivals' last eight meetings, and have been to 16 state tournaments, winning four state championships.
"I think this was one of our better games, but not our best one yet," said Hutar, who also totaled 200 all-purpose yards Saturday. "We just keep in mind that we want to honor all of the guys that came before us and played hard. We want to play hard like them, and make it to State."
To do so, the Cardinals will have to get by pass-heavy South Ridge (9-1) in Friday's Section 5 Nine-Man final at 6:45 p.m. at Public Schools Stadium (PSS) in Duluth.
"They have a couple backs, a few receivers and quarterback who throws a nice ball; they're very well-balanced," Gronner said of the top-seeded Panthers, which have won nine straight games. "But our guys are excited; it's been our goal all season to get to this game. We limited [Hakamaki] on offense [Saturday]. Maybe we can get him some more touches on Friday."
Bombers and Rebels play for section titles Thursday
Like the Cardinals, both Barnum and Moose Lake-Willow River will play for section titles this evening (Nov. 1) in a doubleheader at PSS.
The Bombers (8-2) face Cook County (9-1) in the Section 7A final at 4:45 p.m., followed by the unbeaten Rebels (10-0) and Duluth Marshall (7-3) at 7 p.m., with ML-WR seeking its seventh straight Section 7AA crown.
"It's definitely going to be four quarters of hard football," said Barnum Coach Brian Robertson, whose host Bombers shut out Walker-Hackensack-Akeley 55-0 in Saturday's semifinals seeking their first state trip since 2010.
"This is what our program is geared for," said Rebels Coach Dave Louzek, whose team pounded visiting Eveleth-Gilbert 61-13 Saturday in the semifinals. "We gear toward the section finals, look to come out the winner and hopefully then get the chance to compete for a state championship."

About Gary Scott
When asked what he does for a living, Gary says
I travel the world looking for off-the-beaten-path places that are cool, interesting and beautiful, where my guests will have an amazing and super fun, active and safe, travel experience.
Gary went on his first trip abroad at six-weeks old, and by high school had travelled much of the world with his diplomat parents. After living in Pakistan, England, and the U.S., Gary left his native Australia at the age of 24 with a one-way ticket to Kathmandu, Nepal – and as he jokes "I'm still on that same trip!"
Previously a professional mountain guide on the world's highest peaks including two successful expeditions to Mount Everest, Gary has led over 1,000 satisfied travelers on over 150 international adventure trips over the last 30 years – including 40 treks to Nepal and over 40 one-week trips in the Dolomites – all with a perfect safety record.
Gary finds places that are less well "known". His small group trips (maximum of eight) offer more quaint and authentic experiences. You will get to meet locals, visit their favorite places, enjoy traditional food and wines and have a "real" interactive cultural experience. Through this, Gary excels at helping people achieve their individual travel goals and dreams.
When Gary goes to a place, like Croatia, the Dolomites, Slovenia or Nepal, he does a great deal of legwork (literally) to determine the best time to enjoy the weather and to avoid the regular "tourist seasons". He meets the locals and finds out the best places to go, stay and eat. With Gary you'll experience and soon be in-sync with the true "flavor" of a place.
Gary's objective is to provide every person with a mind blowing, never to be forgotten travel experience.
By carefully listening to each person's goals and ambitions, Gary comes up with ideas that allow each traveler to exceed the results they're after. He tries very hard to understand who you are and what you're into. As the company owner, the buck stops with Gary. Since he leads the trips, you know you are in good hands. He takes care of every detail and all the arrangements. You can completely relax and enjoy yourself without worrying about a thing.
Gary is very passionate about showing people how to have a fun, active and healthy time in beautiful places, his positive effect causes many people to turn to him again and again, trip after trip, adventure after adventure – for their next travel experience.

As you well know, Hurricane Sandy destroyed many homes and businesses recently. One of the places devastated by the hurricane was the Ali Forney Center, a drop-in site for homeless LGBTQ youth in NYC. For the rest of the month, Birds of Lace will be donating 100% of our sales to the Ali Forney Center. Have you been wanting a subscription or a chapbook, or do you want to gift one to someone? Now is an excellent time to do so, as you'll get excellent reading as well as the opportunity to support important community work. Visit our etsy shop here; you can also donate directly to the Center here. I will update at the end of the month to let you know how much money we raised.

Golf is known as the business sport for a reason: There is no better activity to find out who somebody is, both in business and personally, than playing a round of golf with them. If you haven't played for a long time, or don't play at all, now may be the time to start — or start again. Here's how to do it. The best way to get in the game is to hire a golf pro for just a few lessons. You need to learn how to grip, swing and generally get a "feel" for the club. Ask around for a recommendation, as opposed to searching for an instructor online or through the yellow pages.
Picking the right place to play is crucial. If you take on difficult courses before you're ready, the game will seem impossible. Start off by going to a local driving range — you can hit a bucket of balls for less than $10 — where you can just get a feel for your clubs. Also don't forget putting and chipping — those skills are almost half the game, although people mostly concentrate on the driving.
The first golf course I would recommend you try is an executive golf course, where all the holes are par 3, and where playing a round of golf will be quicker. Par 3 means that you should be able to drive the ball to the green (first shot) and put it in within two strokes. Many of these courses are public.
Once you feel comfortable with your golf, I recommend staying with a public course — these tend to be easier and cheaper than private and semi-private courses, though the waits can be longer and the courses not as pristine. A round of golf at a public course tends to range from $30 to $100. Private and semi-private courses typically start at $75 and can run well over $300. Remember, unless you are a member or invited by a member you cannot play on private courses. Semi-private courses give preference to members but will allow a non-member to play based on availability.
The following is a list of highly recommended courses to get you started in the tri-state area:
Bergen Hills
660 RiverVale Rd, RiverVale
(201) 391-2300
Greens fees: Monday through Thursday, $79; Friday, $99; weekends and holidays, $109; golf cart included. Rates are typically lower before 7:30 a.m. or late afternoon (twilight rate). Less than 15 miles from Manhattan.
Knoll West
Knoll Rd, Parsippany
(973) 263- 7110
Weekdays, $40; weekends $55; cart not included. Lower rates for residents during off-peak hours. Good course, good value.
105-137 Wheatsworth Rd, Hamburg
(973) 827-5996
Weekends, $135; Fridays, $120; weekdays, $100; cart included. Lower rates at off-peak times. Voted best public course in New Jersey by Golfweek, Zagat and New Jersey Monthly, among others. Not an easy course.
Bear Brook
527 Rte 94, Newton
(973) 383-2327
Weekends, $75; weekdays, $60. A nice course that has been recently renovated.
Black Bear

Weekdays, $65; Fri. Sat. Sun., $90. This is known as a challenging course with spectacular views of the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Highlands.

Convert Your Home PC Into PC Sky Plus
| by Siddharth Bhatia
A simple intro to how you can make your PC do the job of a PVR with lesser investment.
It's been all over the AV world for the past I-don't-know-how-many years, and names like Tivo and ReplayTV are common now. But recently Tata Sky launched its Tata Sky Plus, which is actually only a PVR (Personal Video Recorder), nothing else. Now, I have a lot of respect for Tata and their products, being a user myself... though what's the point of being a geek if you cannot save a few bucks and build your own PVR, using your PC. It's quite a simple process. There is a little money to be spent, though in the end with the features available on the software and hardware that we will discuss, it's quite worth it. The Hardware First things first. You will need a TV tuner card, and not any ordinary one. If you are going to be recording and playing your cable's input, maybe simultaneously in certain circumstances, you surely need one that has its own hardware processor. Think PCI connection. Cheaper tuner cards shirk the work to your CPU. Encoding/decoding MPEG2 ( or any other format for that matter) is a tedious and CPU-heavy process. But, of course sometimes it's better to let the CPU do the job if it's good at it. We can then go for a nice little USB dongle shaped tuner available nowadays. You have to decide whether you need/want a PCI card or USB card. Both are popular though USB cards cost a bit more. There are numerous products out there and the ironic thing is that most of them use a decoding chip by Connexant, so quality might be similar on some level. It's the features and usability that matter. Below are just a few diverse suggestions out of the plethora. The prices might be a little different according to your area. Leadtek WinFast TV2000 Global - Rs. 1850 Leadtek is what I personally use, and I think the picture quality is really good. They have a variety of USB models, PCI express and of course the regular PCI cards. The mentioned model falls under PCI category. It works with an analog cable, and has hardware encoding. Moreover it has a de-interlacing feature that really works with our cable reception, which is necessary if we want to avoid the dirty flicker and artifacts on the edge of motion objects. It comes with bundled software (all tuner cards do), called Winfast PVR, and a remote control, which is quite generic and boring to look at, yet is useful. This supports recording to MPEG-1/MPEG-2/WMV video and MP3/WMA audio. There's no DivX direct recording; you will need third party PVR software for that. |

This is probably the most improtant thread I've posted. I hinted about this in the New Year's thread. I've got a Project.
I haven't been posting about personal stuff on here for a few years. So, for those who don't know me, I'm 38, two ex-wives, two kids, one son that I just recently got back in contact with after 15+ years, and a grandchild on the way.
I could go on at length - book length - about the troubles I've had and the impact that they had on my life. A lot of it I've just learned about in the last few years. I'm not going to bore anyone (too much), so I'll just hit the high points. I'll put it in spoiler tags if anyone wants to skip it.
About nine years ago on Gone Gold (the predecessor to OO), I posted a thread asking for help on applying for disability. I did so, and have been on it ever since. That was in 2003, the year my second son with Michelle was born, and the year my father finally died. I started receiving treatment then, although it was several years before it did much good. There was just too much crap layered on - it took a couple of years of misdiagnosis before anyone was actually able to get far enough past the symptoms to start finding the root causes. The Asperger's diagnosis was a huge breakthrough. It came shortly after my son was diagnosed with PDD/NOS, also on the autism spectrum. Things started getting better after that, and I started making progress, but after a while the progress plateaued.
In 2007 Michelle and I divorced. The reasons are complicated, but it had a huge impact on me. For the first time in my life, I was completely on my own. In 2006, I rarely left the house. I wouldn't make a phone call, and couldn't go shopping. Michelle did all that for me, taking care of the things that caused me the most trouble. Her leaving took away the support, but it also took away the crutch. It was really hard on me, but it gave me the push I needed to really start to make progress on myself. I tied up loose ends. I came to terms with the spiritual jumble I'd been fighting with for 30 years. I figured out the truth about what my father had done (it wasn't until he was dead that I was able to actually see him for what he really was.) I learned how to accept that I was fundamentally different from most people as opposed to thinking of myself as flawed. I learned how to function in my own way, to go out and do the things that needed to be done. Finally, in my middle and late 30s, I finsihed becoming an adult. 20 years too late, but better than never. I'm not 100% yet (and may never be), but the end is in sight, and I know how to get there.
That brings me to the point of this thread (for those of you that are still reading.) The Project. I'm 38 now. I've been on disability for close to nine years. I'm thankful for it, knowing that in almost any other time or place I'd have been living (or dead) in some ditch. Still, it's not a good way to live your life. I'm stuck at well below the poverty line. I have no options for advancement, for a promotion, or for a raise. I won't even get into the dread of the, 'So, what do you do?' question. I've been alone for five years, ever since the divorce. Dating isn't going to happen, not when I'm in this situation. The loneliness gets overwhelming at times. I can't make my life better than it is, which pushes a person toward a sense of resigned hopelessness that is about as bad of a feeling as you can get.
A lot of people see being on disability as some sort of free paradise. It isn't. It is a miserable way to live. What's worse, you're under constant threat. Every now and then, my case comes up for review - normally every four years. A month of paperwork, doctor's reports, and interviews ends with someone who doesn't know me deciding whether I'm still disabled. If they decide 'yes', then life goes on. If they decide 'no', then I've got a month, two at most, before I'm out on the street, and that's literal. My income would just be turned off like a lightswitch, and I'd have to find work with enough of an income to support a family of three within a few weeks, or I'd lose my apartment and I'd lose my kids. Finding work is hard for anyone, and for someone coming off of a decade of disability? I'm unemployable. It is a virtual sword of Damocles, except that there is an invisible hand with a pair of scissors flitting around the room.
My disability review was two months ago. Just a few weeks ago they said 'yes.' Life goes on.
In four years, I'll be up for review again. I plan to tell them, 'No thanks.'
That means that I have about three years. After that, I need to be ready to step back into society and survive. In that time, I need to finish getting myself put back together, and get the rest of the skills I'm lacking in order. That's a matter for me to deal with, and it is something I believe I can do. Four years ago on my last review, I couldn't say that.
It also means that I have about three years to repair as much of the damage to my life as I can. I'm talking debt, health, credit, work history and all the other practical things that twelve years of depression and anxiety folowed by twelve years of disabilty can do. I need to replace a lot of bad habits that helped me survive the stress before disability with productive ones that will improve my life. It means that I have three years to not only come up with a plan for moving from unemployable to working, but to execute that plan.
I can't screw it up. I'm 38. That means that this all come to fruition when I'm about 42 or 43, which is a hard enough age to restart one's life. If I'm not ready and get four more years, I'd be 46 or 47, which way too many potential employers would round up to 50. Plus, to be honest with you, I'd rather be doing something respectable before my kids are in high school, not after they graduate. If I think I'm ready, but am not, then I'll be giving up my disability and will be putting myself on the street - cutting the thread on the sword myself. This is my last (maybe even first?) chance to turn my life around. One shot at either being someone worthy of respect and dignity, or else being the guy people pity.
So, for the next little while, I have a lot of work to do. I have several areas of my life that I need to figure out how to fix and make real progress on. Many of them are areas that have been damaged or neglected for years. Many of them are subjects I don't know the first thing about, and don't even know where to start looking. I'll be asking for a lot of advice here. That's one of the reasons for this thread - to provide an explanation I can link back to without sabotaging any requests for advice with a wall of text.
Thanks for reading.

Colostrum MAX is an immune system balancing product.
The key difference between Colostrum MAX and other immune balancing products is the presence of a high level of proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs).
PRPs have been shown to stimulate an underactive immune system and repress an overactive immune system, bringing the immune system to homeostatic balance.
PRPs function as signaling peptides produced by activated macrophages and activated T-cells that control the production of all cytokines.
Colostrum MAX is listed with the TGA as a Medicine with therapeutic claims.
Registration No: AUST L 190135.
The product also complies with TGA regulations in New Zealand.

When I've raised Hell you'll know it!
Probably my favorite line from Miller's Crossing, the underrated Coen Brothers classic that was just released on Blu-ray this week. The line, uttered by Gabriel Byrne's Tom Reagan, is just one of the many great lines of dialogue in this swift, punchy tale of an unnamed Prohibition-era American city. I'm not just saying this to be a difficult, attention-grabbing iconoclast; Miller's Crossing is my favorite Coen Brothers movie. It has some of the best dialogue they've ever written and my favorite Carter Burwell/Coen Brothers score. Simply put, it's the story of a man who just wants to get his hat back.
The Coen Brothers are clearly fans of the great detective novels of Dashiel Hammett and Raymond Chandler. The Big Lebowski is loosely based on Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep while Miller's Crossing is loosely based on Hammett novels like The Glass Key and Red Harvest, which were eventually adapted into movies like Yojimbo and A Fistful of Dollars. The theme of one man pitting warring factions against each other for his own gain is even mentioned by the brother shamus in The Big Lebowski.
The only glaring problem with Miller's Crossing was that it really didn't look good on VHS or even DVD. It looked old, really old. But that has been corrected with a great Blu-ray transfer and finally a 5.1 audio track. The score sounds Irishly epic and you can really hear the trees knocking and creaking in the scenes at Miller's Crossing. The only negative (if you can call it that) for this movie is that Barry Sonnenfeld did the cinematography. It was the last time he worked with the Coen Brothers, who used Roger Deakins for every one of their movies after this including Fargo, No Country for Old Men and True Grit, which had such great cinematography that Steve even said he noticed it. Sonnenfeld had worked on their first two movies so I'm sure they stuck with him for that reason. While he's a fine cinematographer in his own right Miller's Crossing doesn't have the same look as the more recent Coen Brothers classics.
I highly recommend checking this movie out if you haven't seen it, or revisiting it on Blu-ray if you already have. It's both dramatic and funny, steeped in period atmosphere (one blogger even called it the skeleton in Boardwalk Empire's closet) and features one of those epic movie scores that sticks in your head.

Making ADA Compliance Easy.
Is your property ADA compliant? The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is civil rights law. It requires all public facilities to be in compliance; there is no grandfathering, so one is either in compliance or not in compliance. Timeshares are public facilities required to comply with the ADA.
FARROW has specialized in accessibility compliance for the past 15 years. We have worked directly with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on several occasions. Currently we are working with time share companies (who have been cited by the Department of Justice) in order to bring their facilities into compliance. We have found that it has become standard procedure for the DOJ to target time share and resort organizations for the purpose of setting examples within the industry.
Our program is your first line of defense against a DOJ investigation and/or a complaint filed by an attorney for a client who has standing.

Subject: | [CPEO-BIF] Parks & brownfields |
Hi Folks- I am working w/a clergy coalition in LA who is interested in identifying 1-plus acre sized brownfields in South LA to turn into parks & recreation centers to help improve both the environmental health & personal health of residents. I was wondering who out there has done an inventory of brownfields in their community and who has experience in the financing and development of brownfields into parks/rec centers. I look forward to your assistance. Thanks Allison J.
