At Plaza Jewish Community Chapel, we are not like other funeral chapels. Not in philosophy. Not in practice.
The process of grief is not a business proposition, but an emotional, human passage to be treated with dignity and conscience. This is our sole motivation.
We promise to take you through this difficult time with care, with sensitivity, and with thoughtfulness. We do not hurry decisions. We do not feel there is a relationship between what is spent and what has been lost.
There is only what is right for you and your family. We encourage you to decide what your own approach and values dictate, what makes you comfortable, what your family member or friend would have wanted, and to follow that guidance.
A funeral with Plaza Jewish is considerably less expensive than other funeral chapels in Manhattan.

Before he hit a recent two-fight skid in the UFC, Court McGee had decided a year prior to cut from middleweight to welterweight.
"But I got offered these fights, so we took them," McGee (13-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Now, the winner of "The Ultimate Fighter 11" is trying to return to the win column when he meets Josh Neer (33-12-1 MMA, 6-8 UFC) at UFC 157, which takes place Saturday at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The bout is part of the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FX and Facebook.
"I definitely was outsized," McGee said of his time at middleweight. "The guys were walking a little bigger, but it was just a little harder to take guys down. They would have an extra 10 to 15 pounds on me. That little bit of extra power helps, man."
Extra power will definitely come in handy against Neer, who also looks to avoid a career-killing third straight loss. Justin Edwards recently submitted the veteran following Neer's knockout loss to Mike Pyle.
McGee lost back-to-back bouts to Costa Philippou and Nick Ring, respectively, which snapped a three-fight win streak he earned following his stint on the UFC's reality show.
Recently, the 28-year-old fighter did a test cut to welterweight from 191 pounds and then sparred the next day after rehydrating the night before.
"I went four rounds against another UFC fighter, and I felt great," said McGee, who trains alongside several octagon vets at The Pit Elevated MMA team in Orem, Utah.
McGee said he now eats less junk food and the baked goods his wife makes. Compared to his previous lifestyle change, which saw him kick a dependency to heroin and alcohol, it's an easy shift.
"It doesn't get boring," he said. "The payout is that I can carry the message to people who struggle out there, and better take care of my family. I love going against another person and trying to beat them."

He [Jesus] said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"
—Mark 4:40-41 (NIV)
Thankfully storms ultimately do come to an end! We learn this as another insight from this passage of scripture. And the storms often reveal something new about Jesus. Here the disciples express their amazement that He even controls the winds and the waves. They had already spent considerable time with Jesus yet this experience actually terrified them. They had known Jesus as fully human to this point in their relationship. And now they are confronted with His being also fully divine—something that really terrified them.
There is always something more to learn about Jesus and sometimes this happens in the storms of life. Twenty-three-year-old Maria fled with her parents from Bagdad, Iraq to the Kurdish north of the country because they had been threatened as Christians living in the capital.
"I really struggled the first year," she says. "But I knew I had to go on. I could not crawl up and mourn the things I had lost…Because I went to college here it was pretty easy to find a job. And what I really like is that I am safe here."
Maria had to leave everything behind but did not give up. She concludes, "Start with something small and you will slowly move on."
We received a report of a Christian arrested for selling Bibles in front of a university in another middle east Islamic country's capital. He was repeatedly interrogated during six weeks of imprisonment. In a final effort to intimidate him, his captors brought his wife to the prison and threatened to execute him unless he renounced his Christian faith.
"If I have to choose between my wife and children or Jesus Christ, then I choose Jesus," he reportedly told his captors. When this and other attempts failed to coerce him to renounce his faith, he was finally released from prison. He was forced to sign a letter agreeing not to sell Christian literature, although he continued to actively evangelize in parks and other open-air areas.
"I don't know why, but I cried the whole day," he said upon release, adding that he wished he could have been martyred for his faith. "I felt very close to heaven in prison. I was happy that the Lord had heard my prayers for my love to be a sacrifice in that small prison cell. But it seems that the Lord wished me to be alive and active in His work again."
RESPONSE: Today I will be thankful that the storms in my life will come to an end. I will deliberately seek to discover something new about Jesus and what He wants me to be for Him.
PRAYER: Pray that you—and believers everywhere—will have spiritual eyes and ears to see, hear and learn new lessons from Jesus in the storms of life.

First of all, I want to congratulate the developers (Seth, et al) for this amazing little bit of software! I'm not really a programmer, beyond some simple HTML/PHP and BASIC back in my schooldays (not even C or java... sigh. I'm old!), but the potential in this NovaShell is really neat!
MY 7yr old son and I have been spending the last week or so with him making some stick-figure drawings in MSPaint, then going through the tutorial and slowly making "his very own video game!" replacing the tiles and entities with our own PNG paintings. I can't quite fathom the deeper concepts in making my own custom lua scripts, but so far it's been educational for us both. So, major Kudos again, for allowing us to at least throw together a "game" of our very own. (He can't wait to 'finish' more things and add a boss battle, etc once I get the warping between maps working and he 'draws' the map tiles slowly and patiently.)
My question is mostly "what should I beware/be aware of?" in terms of learning this here new fangled Programmin...:wheelchair:
I know not to ask for code snippets or such, and that "play around and debug is the best way to learn",... but I wondered if you more knowledgeable types could suggest something to concentrate on first as a solid foundation (beyond these tutorials, of course), or else things to keep in mind "for later" that a total n00b might get confused by.
Thanks in advance!

Do you know of a good ginger frag ? I know its a hard scent to capture but any info would be much appreciated x
Dark Rose is still deep and haunting, I sprinkled my morrocan themed spare room with it and it really suits the room, the frag is so exotic and timeless I love it, im also keen on their rose scent it is very clean and simlpe but sweet and true. I love to wear 88 and also Cuba I always get compliments when I wear these as they are unexpected and hard to read ( a little like me ! ) the only C&S I cannot bear is Mimosa its just like bad breath I think.
Yeah i must say the NHS is a pretty good system as it is free health care but if we had to pay for the service we get it would be a terrible system ! us Brits are just happy to have anything and are too straight laced to disagree with it .
Back to neroli ,have you tried Demeter Neroli ? its just awful you should try it for a laugh ! xx
You dont work for the NHS do you ? If you do we can share symapthies !
Have you tried to full C&S range ? I went to their website and filled out a form and they sent me ALL the testers and it was so beautifully wrapped too. I wonder if any other sites offer such a spangly service ? x
Thank you so much for the Neroli info, I have got a little tester of C&S Neroli now and I must say it's just gorgeous and so true. I think I will treat myself to a bottle one day soon, Thanks again ! x
Hey E,
The reason I was interested in Makkah was that I have made an attar with similar ingredients and wanted a frame of reference for comparison. I started a maceration of deer musk grains in sandal over a year ago and to that I added a mix of Turkish and Indian rose ottos, Cambodian oud , Indian oud and amber. It is ready and better than the Makkah IMO. Very strong and could be diluted with jojoba or coconut oils. I am including it in your package so you can help with a name(please). Your B-day is tomorrow, have a good one.

"The I Febiarmonici, an orchestra founded in 1999 and operating on the principles of historical performance practice, draws its members from musicians of international origin and renown. Ist Initiator, the violinist Jochen Grüner, was educated at the Academy of Early Music in Bremen.
The Ensemble takes its inspiration from Italian musical troupes of the eighteenth century which in their time toured their country as so-called I Febiarmonici and obtained an outstanding reputation owning to their quality music and love of traveling.
In the short time since its founding, the orchestra has already gone on to gain notice with its fascinating projects. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

The orchestra takes its name and constitution from Lully's own orchestra at the court of Louis XIV.All its members are internationally renowned specialists in the early music field. Although originally La Petite Bande was not meant to become a permanent orchestra, the success of the recordings was such that they began to give concerts regularly.

We wanted to take a new and different approach to the performance of works written for chamber orchestra, especially during the Baroque period. For over twenty years, we have been pursuing this vision with the support of all those who attend our concerts and buy our recordings. I would like to invite you to discover the other facets of our work, and to join us in achieving our dream." ...

(Previously known as "Nota Bene Period Orchestra")
"Nota Bene Period Orchestra was founded in 2001 by Daniel Zondervan, Michael Purves-Smith and Richard Cunningham. Their intention was to treat Waterloo Region music lovers to 17th- and 18th-century music as audiences experienced it at the time.
Playing on authentic or replica instruments, Nota Bene's professional musicians come as close as possible to recreating what Bach, Vivaldi and others from the early Baroque to the early Classical period intended us to have.
Nota Bene Baroque Orchestra was renamed to Nota Bene Baroque Players in the early Fall of 2011. The change was made so that the name clearly reflect the orchestra's identity as Kitchener-Waterloo's professional Baroque group."

"The word is German and means "table music" or "music for the feast."
The name is apt because Tafelmusik has produced a feast of firsts and bests and has won admiration throughout the musical world.
Through its extensive national and international tours, its critically-acclaimed recordings and TV broadcasts, its new media initiatives and growing web of community and artistic partnerships, Tafelmusik is one of most prolific orchestras in the world.
Tafelmusik, Canada's award-winning period instrument orchestra, was founded in 1979 and has long been renowned in North America and internationally for its distinct, exhilarating and soulful performances. Under the outstanding leadership of Music Director Jeanne Lamon, C.M., it has excelled equally in music ranging from the baroque and classical eras and beyond, including adventurous cross-cultural reinventions of baroque classics. In the words of Gramophone, Tafelmusik is "one of the world's top baroque orchestras."
The Tafelmusik Chamber Choir, specializing in baroque performance practice and vocal technique, was formed in 1981 to complement the orchestra. Under the direction of Ivars Taurins, the choir has been praised for its clarity and brilliance and has been described as "the best period-performance choir anywhere in the world…"(The Globe and Mail).
Tafelmusik performs 50 concerts each year in Toronto at Trinity-St. Paul's Centre, a historic church in the Annex neighbourhood of Toronto, performs community outreach concerts, tours extensively in Canada and throughout the world, and has a discography of 76 CDs that have garnered many national and international awards.
At the heart of Tafelmusik is a group of remarkably talented, enthusiastic and dynamic musicians, each of whom is a specialist in historical performance practice. …"

"Now in its fifth decade, the Toronto Chamber Choir holds a place of prominence in the early music scene. Mark Vuorinen, now entering his fourth season as Music Director, is one of Canada's rising choral conductors, with more than ten years of experience conducting professional and amateur singers. He follows David Fallis, the choir's Music Director Laureate, an expert in early music who led the choir for more than two decades.
The choir distinguishes itself by its presentation of large-scale, often little-known, works of the Renaissance and Baroque repertoire, performed in authentic style. In 2007, we performed the Requiem by Francesco Cavalli,
a work rarely heard in Canada. A performance of the 40-voice motet Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis was a fitting choice for celebrating our 40th anniversary in 2008. In 2010, we sang Media Vita by John Sheppard, an English composer who deserves to be heard more often. On Good Friday in 2010, we performed the profound Passion oratorio Membra Jesu Nostri by Buxtehude. Mark Vuorinen said, "This piece is comprised of seven discrete cantatas, each a meditation on a part of Christ's crucified body. For the sixth cantata, a meditation on the heart, Buxtehude replaces the violins with a consort of five viols, a most extraordinary timbral effect!" In the spring of 2011, the choir presented a concert of music by Josquin des Prez, arguably the most famous composer during his own lifetime. Secular and sacred music was performed, including one of his greatest works, the Missa Pange Lingua. More notes are found in the Education and Outreach section of the website."

"The Prague baroque orchestra Collegium 1704 and vocal ensemble Collegium Vocale 1704 were founded by harpsichordist and conductor Václav Luks in 2005 on the occasion of the BACH – PRAHA – 2005 project. This marked the beginning of their regular collaboration with the Prague Spring International Music Festival.
Since 2007 Collegium 1704 and Collegium Vocale 1704 have been residential ensembles of the Saint Wenceslas Music Festival in Ostrava. The year 2007 was dedicated to the composer Jan Dismas Zelenka and his Missa votiva for which the ensembles received critical acclaim at La Chaise-Dieu and Sablé festivals in France. Collegium 1704 and Collegium Vocale 1704 are also frequent guests of festivals such as the Festival de Festival de Musique de Sully & du Loiret, Festival Baroque de Pontoise, Rencontres Musicales de Vézelay. …"

"With local roots and a passionate interest for the city's own musical history, and yet with its ears, eyes, and hears open to the rest of the world, the members of Elbipolis stand prepared to partake upon musical adventures. The young ensemble, the core of which is made up of musicians from Bremen, Hamburg, and Berlin, has achieved a great deal in a short period of time. Invitations to the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Leipzig Bach Festival, the Music Festival at Potsdam Sanssouci, the Rheingau Music Festival, as well as an exclusive appearance at the Yellow Lounge in Berlin (a club operated by Universal Music,) are just some of the milestones of the orchestra's history. In 2005 the ensemble received an invitation by DeutschlandRadio to give a performance together with the star recorder player Maurice Steger at the Cloister Neuzelle in Brandenburg. In 2007 NDR (North German Radio) in Hamburg dedicated an entire wekend for the ensemble to explore the theme of Orpheus in music, and in November of 2007 the orchestra gave its successful debut at the Kölner Philharmonie. The North German musicians have made themselves noticed again and again through their refreshing combination of high caliber technique and unconventional appearances.
The ensemble's debut CD 'Don Quichotte in Hamburg', recorded on the Raumklang label in 2005 and featuring music of Telemann, Mattheson, and Conti, ws met with great public enthusiasm. The next recording is planned for the beginning of 2008.
The driving philosophy and motto behind the ensemble has been borrowed from Georg Philipp Telemann, who once wrote: 'Will and industry can break even the deepest paths, and a keen sense of daring will always win over what appears impossible. Do mountains immdediately appear before you? Take them on with zeal, and regard difficulties as dwarves against the giant within yourself.' " Visite website for more information. (ed.)

"Baroque music retains its special role for the FBO – even after twenty years. While the "Freiburgers" have meanwhile earned a reputation as interpreters of classical, romantic and even contemporary music, the Baroque in the orchestra's name is still more than merely a description of an epoch: it stands for the musicians' practical performance perspective as well as for their pleasure in musicianship and cultivated, virtuoso ensemble playing.
The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra has conquered the world's best known concert halls with this musical self-image. From the Baroque perspective, the music of the 18th and 19th century, in particular, sounds young and modern and not at all like old music, but as immediate as if the ink on the music sheets was still damp. This is perhaps what James R. Oestreich meant when he enthused, in the New York Times in March 2007: "The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, familiar from […] opera recordings and other notable projects, may be the liveliest ensemble now on the international early-music scene."
The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra's prominent status in international musical life is expressed both in its continuous collaboration with significant artists such as Andreas Staier, Thomas Quasthoff, Cecilia Bartoli and René Jacobs, as well as in a close collaboration with the French recording label harmonia mundi France, and is successfully reflected in numerous CD productions and outstanding awards. Hence, only recently, a survey of journalists in the magazine Opernwelt presented the FBO with its "Orchestra of the Year 2007" award.
Under the artistic direction of its two concert masters Gottfried von der Goltz and Petra Müllejans, or under the baton of selected conductors, with about one hundred appearances each year the FBO performs in differing formations ranging from chamber music to opera orchestra: a self-administrated ensemble with its own subscription concerts in Freiburg's Konzerthaus, Stuttgart's Liederhalle and Berlin's Philharmonie, as well as with worldwide tours.

"The orchestra La Stagione Frankfurt has for many years been counted among the most successful ensembles in the field of authentic music performance.
The versatility of the ensemble's director Michael Schneider on the one hand and the artistic flexibility of each of the musicians on the other, enable a convincing and authentic performance of a wide spectrum of works from the areas of baroque opera and oratorios through classical symphonic works to the performance of important pieces of the 20th century.
It is the discovery and performance of lesser known musical gems by composers such as F.I. Beck, A. Stradella, A. Scarlatti, I. Holzbauer and the sons of Bach coupled with the stimulating and authentic interpretation of the standard repertoire which characterises the artistic intention of La Stagione.
Performing regularly with well-known vocal and instrumental soloists, the invitations to important European festivals and concert venues as well as the numerous highly regarded recordings attest to the high reputation of La Stagione Frankfurt. ... " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

His growing commitments with The Academy of Ancient Music forced his departure and led to a series of exciting projects under various leaders.

With Lars Ulrik Mortensen as principal leader and artistic director, CoCo has embarked on an exciting artistic and musical journey, combining lesser-known repertoire of Scandinavian origin with the repertoire of the baroque and classical legacy, thus adding a fresh and Nordic flavor to the traditional concert repertoire.

Al Ayre Español was founded in 1988 by Eduardo López Banzo with the objective of avoiding the mistaken clichés that often surrounded the performance of Spanish baroque music. The spirit of the ensemble made this possible thanks to musicological rigor, performance excellence and with the main purpose of giving new breath to music from the past, making them appear as recent compositions, and then offering them to the contemporary audience.
The name of the ensemble was inspired by the title for a guitar Fugue of the Calanda (Aragón) composer, Gaspar Sanz. In this Fugue he indicated the musician to play with "ayre español" (in the Spanish way). Unfortunately, precisely what that meant has remained in the 17th Century.
With the passing of the time, Al Ayre Español has become not only a prestigious ensemble, but moreover a performance philosophy, finally giving meaning to the Gaspar Sanz's indication. This has been achieved through lot of reflection, performance and mastery. Al Ayre Español is now a way of performing and enjoying music that Eduardo López Banzo has being creating as a work-in-progress, recognisable, requested and acclaimed all over the world, and for all these reasons was awarded the 2004 Spanish National Music Prize.
The fact that Al Ayre Español is more than a specialised early music ensemble, that represents the musical philosophy "al ayre español", has allowed the project to be flexible. This has made it possible to adapt itself to different formats, as a baroque orchestra -acknowledged by its performances of Handel and Bach- and lately as a classical-romantic orchestra -with opera and concert performances of Haydn and Mozart.

"Taking its inspiration from Les Nations, a work by François Couperin symbolising the coming together of musical tastes and heralding a "European artistic space" which, far from being a recent invention, bears all the hallmarks of the Age of Enlightenment, Le Concert des Nations, the youngest of the ensembles directed by Jordi Savall, was founded in 1989. Created during the preparation of the Canticum Beatae Virgine by Charpentier, this group arose out of the need for an orchestra of period instruments that could play the orchestral and symphonic repertoire from the Baroque to the Romantic periods (1600-1850). Le Concert des Nations is the first orchestra of its kind made up chiefly (although not exclusively) of musicians from Latin countries (Spain, Latin America, Italy, Portugal, France, etc.), all of whom are outstanding specialists in performance using period instruments. The impact of the ensemble's recordings and concerts given in the major cities and music festivals over the last fifteen years has established its reputation as one of the best original instrument orchestras performing today, with a broad and varied repertoire that ranges from the earliest music to be composed for orchestra (L'Orchestre de Louis XIII, 1600-1650) to the masterpieces of the Romantic period, including the key Baroque and Classical composers. …"

" The Seville Baroque Orchestra (OBS) was founded by Barry Sargent and Ventura Rico in 1995, with the desire to create an ensemble able to perform XVII and XVIII century repertoire vivaciously and with a clear sense of communication. OBS has since then become a major reference on the Spanish music scene.
From its first performances onwards, OBS has always enjoyed the support of the audience and the specialised press. The quality of its performances, as well as the high interest of the programmed works, have always received unanimous critical acclaim.
Amongst the nearly 50 programmes that OBS has offered at the most important venues in recent years, feature works such as Mozart's Requiem or the Coronation Mass, Haendel's Messiah, symphonic programmes dedicated to Haydn and C.P.E. Bach… as well as unedited works of great interest, such as the Oratorium "Colpa, Pentimento e Grazia" by A. Scarlatti and many other works by XVIII century Spanish composers (Baguer, Buono Chiodi, Moyá, Moreno, Garay…).
Highlights in the operistic field include OBS' production of Haydn's Lo Speziale and Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione di Poppea in the Maestranza Theatre (Seville) or Purcell's Dido and Eneas in the Teatre Principal (Palma de Mallorca). ... " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

The classic SNES controller, often imitated but never duplicated, is borrowing motion controls from its Wii brethren courtesy this DIY hack over at Hackaday.
The tutorial combines a Teensy USB development board with a 3D accelerometer inside of an SNES controller. The Teensy is programmed to poll the SNES controller buttons and read the accelerometer values. The buttons are set to keystrokes and mouse buttons, and the accelerometer values are processed into mouse movement. Programmed to play Portal, we created a video showing how to use the device.
Pretty straightforward, and the results are apparently pretty responsive, although still not as accurate or fast as the traditional mouse-and-keyboard setup. Still, its a functional, nostalgic DIY addition to your PC gaming. Nothing wrong with that. [Hackaday]

A struggling family facing foreclosure has stumbled upon what is considered to be the Holy Grail of comic books in their basement – a fortuitous find that could fetch upwards of a quarter million dollars at auction.
A copy of Action Comics No. 1, the first in which Superman ever appeared, was discovered as they went about the painful task of packing up a home that had been in the family since at least the 1950s. The couple, who live in the South with their children, asked to remain anonymous.
Eat like a king! Stock up at eFoodsDirect
"The bank was about ready to foreclose," said Vincent Zurzolo, co-owner of ComicConnect.com and Metropolis Comics and Collectibles in New York. "Literally, this family was in tears. The family home was going to be lost and they're devastated. They can't figure out a way out of this. They start packing things up. They go into the basement and start sifting through boxes – trying to find packing boxes – and they stumble on eight or nine comic books."

It just so happens that hovering in mid-air is a pretty energy-intensive process. It's this fact that helps explain why helicopters — notorious for being energy-hogging little buggers — have yet to make an appearance in the recent wave of electric vehicles.
But now, by replacing the most energy-intensive components with ultralight alternatives, aerospace engineer Pascal Chretien has designed the world's very first e-copter.
According to inhabitat's Tafline Laylin:
Instead of a tail-rotor, which exacts a heavy load on the helicopter's battery, Chretien's helicopter uses a coaxial design with 2 counter-rotating rotors on top. This is a torque-balanced program that only requires a simple lightweight tail in the back in order to maintain its balance. Further reducing the load, Chretien created a new weight-shifting system that replaces cyclic control and variable blade tilting with a big set of handlebars!
While the very first untethered, crewed flight of the helicopter lasted just two minutes, 10 seconds, and reached a dizzying cruising altitude of one meter, Chretien believes his work could have huge implications for hybrid power systems that could increase the safety of helicopter flight dramatically.
According to gizmag, helicopter flight is nearly 40 times as dangerous as airplane flight, and engine failure accounts for almost half of all helicopter crashes. Chretien says a hybrid power system could offer 3-4 minutes of battery-powered flight in the event of engine failure — time that would prove invaluable when trying to land the aircraft safely.
You can see more pictures of Chretien's electronic helicopter, and read more about the project, over at gizmag.

Used SKB
About SKB:
Since 1977, professional and amateur musicians have counted on the SKB to protect their tools of the trade. In fact, SKB's polymer-molded cases are considered by many to be the standard by which all other cases are judged. With a simple glance at this section, you'll notice quickly that SKB constructs cases for a seemingly endless range of musical instruments and sound equipment. From acoustic guitars, keyboards and drums to banjos, mixers, drums, and even brass instruments, SKB has a stylish, durable case for them all.
So without further ado, let's take a look at some options. If you're a drummer, you know how important it is to maintain the quality of your cymbals, and the SKB-CV8 Roto-X Cymbal Vault will provide yours with more than enough protection. Roto-molded of linear low-density polyethylene with a welded center post, this vault features 4 cymbal pads and a storage pocket, and it also allows you to travel without pressure on the sound edge. Additionally, it's molded with the X pattern, so it stacks conveniently with other Roto-X cases.
Now, for guitar players, you owe it to yourself to check out the SKB-66 Deluxe Universal Electric Guitar Case. Boasting latches that are made of virtually indestructible fiberglass reinforced nylon, this case is built like a tank, and it's also very comfortable to carry. Not to mention, the SKB-66 also features molded in bumpers, and a "tongue & groove" valance to keep dust and moisture out. In other words, you'll have no problem keeping your axe looking and functioning its best when you store it in this beauty.
As every experienced musician knows, owning a case or gig bag for your instrument is a must, even if you never leave the house with it. Aside from protecting it from any impact with other objects, cases and gig bags will shelter your instrument away from dust and residue, and also safeguard it from any sudden weather changes. With all this in mind, you better believe you're definitely in the right place for a new case. SKB is trusted by hundreds of companies from around the world, and in industries as important as medical and military; so you can bet their cases are capable of handling your valuable instruments and pro audio equipment.

Oviedo defensive end Tyree Owens was pretty sure he was going to commit to West Virginia leading up to his visit to Morgantown for the Mountaineers camp this past weekend.
But if he had any reservations, they were quickly put to rest for the 6-foot-4, 240-pound prospect, who made his WVU commitment official Monday night via the Sentinel's live webcast.
"The visit made me feel a lot better," Owens said. "Even my mom [Hakim Dupree-Paul, left] felt a whole lot better about letting her baby go. I think mom saw how happy I was, and she felt a lot better knowing those coaches and seeing how they treated me like I was one of their own kids.
"I never expected to commit the first day I was here, but they just had me from the first day."
He told the coaches Friday and revealed to the rest of the college football world Monday night.
"West Virginia had the best family feel," said Owens, who picked the Mountaineers over Georgia Tech and Iowa State. "When I got there this weekend they welcomed me with open arms and it was everything I could have hoped for … just great the whole time I was there."
For Owens, who has blossomed into a blue-chip recruit after just two seasons of organized football, has nothing but upside to his future. The long, athletic rush end, who is ranked as the No. 4 prospect in the Sentinel's 2014 Central Florida Super60 and No. 50 player in the Sentinel's 2014 Florida Top 100, was the second leading tackler for the 11-2 Lions last season. He had 78 tackles, including six sacks.
"I feel way better. Now I can enjoy my senior season knowing that I have another home somewhere," Owens said afterward.
West Virginia was his first offer and that also meant a lot to the New Jersey native, who moved to Florida prior to his freshman year in high school. His academic focus will be in physical therapy.
"They have two hospitals there so that will be a big benefit and I'll be able to do my internship right there on campus," he said. "Overall, it's just a great school a great team, a great stadium and I loved everything about the campus."

How Social Media Is Bringing Democracy to the Maldives [VIDEO]
Mohamed Nasheed, the recently ousted president of the Maldives, has witnessed first-hand how technology and social media can organize civil society to create change and generate awareness.
Nasheed became the first democratically elected president of the country in 2008. During his two-decade-long fight for democracy, there were strict government restrictions against Internet communications. As a result, he and his followers leveraged SMS text messages to organize their underground activities.
Since his election, Nasheed has fought tirelessly against climate change. The Maldives, a country of 1,200 islands, will be completely submerged if the ocean level rises a few feet — becoming the first nation of environmental exiles. His story is told in a new film The Island President, which will be released in New York on Wednesday (trailer below).
Nasheed resigned from the presidency amid threats of a coup d'état by followers of the previous ruler Maumoon Abdul Gayoomi in February. Despite losing the presidency, Nasheed continues to campaign against climate change on an international stage.
Mashable's Alex Fitzpatrick and I had the opportunity to sit down with Nasheed on Tuesday to discuss the role of social media and technology in bringing change and spreading democracy in the Maldives.
Listen to Nasheed's story and let us know how you think social media can continue to play a role in the conversation about climate change and democracy. Are there other platforms yet to be pursued? Sound off in the comments.

How to Build a Custom Cable Hood Release - Please Release Me
Build a custom cable hood release for your classic Ford using OE parts.
It doesn't matter if it is your house, your toolbox, or even your car. Generally speaking, if you have something nice, there's someone out there that wants to take those nice things away from you and make them theirs (or sell them for quick cash for drugs). Whatever the reasoning, the number one thing we've always been told, drilled into our heads from a young age, is to lock it or lose it. Keeping your vehicle, garage, toolbox, or whatever locked means the contents of said items remain yours. The problem for us classic Ford owners, however, is that even though we can lock our trunks and the doors to keep the baddies out of our rides, the engine bay is easy pickings due to the external hood latch and release mechanism. In under a minute, some low-life could be making off with your battery, carburetor, or other expensive parts, leaving you stranded and steaming mad.
There are several schools of thought on keeping your hood locked and your engine bay safe. We've seen everything from your basic bicycle chain lock to cabinet locks mounted in the hood to prevent the latch from moving. At one point, an aftermarket company offered an armored cable release kit that you could install with a key that was locked from under your dash, but that product is no longer available. When we visited Gillis Performance Restorations recently to photograph a product installation on the company's resident 1968 Mustang coupe project, we witnessed yet another option for those who have some fabrication skills and a welder—the use of a stock Ford F-150/Bronco hood latch with integral cable release. With a little bit of work to your hood and your latch assembly, this rugged OE setup could easily be utilized to keep the hood secured, yet easily be opened from the passenger compartment like any modern car. Check out the work involved in these photos.

We've covered Sawaya's LEGO artwork in the past, but the cooperative effort shown here with photographer Dean West takes on a decidedly different, more sophisticated feel. Rather than perceiving just the object itself, the viewer is also given a glimpse into its imagined context. For example, Sawaya's flowing red dress made of LEGO explodes into a trail of bricks, but then we see the same garment being worn by a cold girl underneath a theater marquee in West's accompanying photograph. Upon further inspection, it turns out that the dress in the photo is actually made of LEGO bricks as well, even though it appears to flutter in the wind as if made from cloth when seen from a distance. Sawaya constructed his works for "IN PIECES" in both NYC and LA and although he didn't use recycled bricks this time like he has in the past, he did work in extremely limited numbers (just 7 of each object).
"As an artist, I am constantly pushing myself outside my comfort zone to evolve," Sawaya told us. "This collaboration with Dean was the perfect opportunity to take what I do best and expand into other media."
The press materials for "IN PIECES" draw a similarity between West's photographs and the paintings of American artist Edward Hopper (probably most famous for this iconic piece), and we don't think the comparison is unfounded. The awkward, emotionally empty and somewhat disturbing vignettes echo Hopper's voyeuristic undertones, and placing 3D elements from the scenes next to the photographs gives the viewer even more of a chance to connect. "The imagery, from a distance, appears entirely photographic," explains the exhibit website. "However, as the viewer begins to digest the images, the series reveals its brick by brick fabricated construction. The brick by brick, layer-by-layer process also represents the direct process involved with digital photography today with clear references to pixilation and technology."

OpenBSD 5.8 Netatalk and Timemachine
Installing netatalk and configuring it for volume share and Time machine is a very easy task on OpenBSD.
Install the following package :
pkg_add netatalk
Put the following in your /etc/rc.conf.local file:
pkg_scripts=messagebus avahi_daemon netatalk
[Global] vol preset = default_for_all_vol hostname = openbsd log file = /var/log/netatalk.log mimic model = Xserver keep sessions = yes [default_for_all_vol] file perm = 0664 directory perm = 0774 cnid scheme = dbd [Homes] basedir regex = /home time machine = yes
/etc/rc.d/messagebus start /etc/rc.d/avahi_daemon start /etc/rc.d/netatalk start
You will be able to backup you Mac using Time Machine in your personal folder on OpenBSD.
OpenBSD can transform any of your useless PC into a Timecapsule.
Kept to put more advance configuration.
Regularly I would never dare to interfere with howto but I need to point one major problem. Namely as you
know HFS is not upper/lower case aware + plus OS X uses dirty hack which is needed for HFS which is designed for big-endian (PowerPC) to run on little-endian (Intel). I have no idea how would that tiny fact of life affect your set up but I know that my daughter can't unison her MacBook Pro neither to my OpenBSD desktop nor to our DragonFly file server without getting slue of errors.
By the way HFS also suffers serious penalty performance on multi users environments as it is really designed to read and write one file at the time but I am sure that you as an avid OS X user know that.
Last edited by Oko; 20th November 2015 at 12:07 AM.
Thanks Oko for those comments! Feel free to interfere, challenge is most of the time a way to learn!
I must admit I hate HFS! I would have hope Apple switch to ZFS or create a better an more robust file system!
I have been using Netatalk 3.1.7 for a month with FreeBSD and never had any issue. My Mac is backing up it's self everyday on this machine and I copy most of my big file on it! I even run Parallels VM from it!
So far my OpenBSD server hasn't showed any problem but is under less stress than my FreeBSD one! I will conduct more test and post result!
HFS can be used as case sensitive if you set it so at filesystem initialization, it's just not recommended on OS X because it breaks many applications.
Still works in 6.0
I'm using mostly this recipe on OpenBSD 6.0 -current, with a few details pulled in from this other post https://samuelhewitt.com/blog/2015-0...backups-how-to
I used the Samuel Hewitt version of the share, e.g., "[Time Machine]" instead of "[home]" and a separate user "timemachine" for privsep reasons. And you want netatalk-3.x; the OpenBSD port of it includes avahid support.
BTW, whenever I see a post that tells end users to install 20 compile packages and git clone and the code themselves, I do wonder how that "other" Unix-like system has survived... And I give thanks again for the BSD ports mechanism, specifically, OpenBSD packages. But I digress...
Last edited by Iand; 31st January 2017 at 02:38 AM. Reason: Clarify OS version
Yes it was my idea also to create a separate folder to avoid cluttering the home user folder. Since my server was only acting has timemachine and database I left it that way.
About 8 years ago when I discovered BSD it tough it was a more organized way to manage an OS than Linux! And now with syspatch, OpenBSD, is even simpler than before.

Neohaler is a single dose Dry Powdered Inhaler (DPI) device. It is inhaled for long term treatment of controlling Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema or both. Neohaler being a DPI, does not use a propellant and does not require hand and breath coordination for proper delivery of drug. The inhaler helps relax the muscles in your lungs and helps treat symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Arcapta Neohaler is inhaled as a once-daily, steroid-free, long-term treatment for controlling symptoms in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. By relaxing the muscles in your lungs, it can help treat symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It delivers a full 24 hours of better breathing, working in five minutes from the first dose.
Arcapta Neohaler does not replace your rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms, so always have your rescue medication handy. It is also not intended to treat asthma. Arcapta capsules are delivered through the Neohaler inhaler, which uses sensory cues to help you confirm that you've used the inhaler correctly.
