Happy Customers
I attended the TOGAF 9.1 training provided by Architecture Center Ltd. Within 4 days the trainer presented a lot of information (not only mainstream ones) in a very clear way, adding some individual and important comments. He also told us many valuable tips and tricks, how to approach the TOGAF certification exam, which was successful for me.
I passed certification exam (part 1 and 2) and I think this is the best assessment of training quality. That's not easy for such complex topic as Enterprise Architecture to prepare 4‐day training to cover major content. My concern was that this course was full of theory and as a result could be very boring. In fact, I enjoyed the training as it was a combination of different types of activities with primary focus on certification exam.
Once I had decided to take the TOGAF course, I came across Architecture Center Ltd which was a more competitive option in comparison to other providers and included the same materials if not more. I was satisfied that the provider was keen to answer all my queries and make the course a good experience. Thanks to all of this I was able to achieve a 90% pass rate!

Hi everyone!
I am new to these forums, decided to join after reading some posts from some time ago and also my love for moped and motorcycles. I recently bought myself a 1977 batavus VA moped and I was wondering how do you take off the drive belt? I already have the online manual but the pages where it talks about the drive belt are missing, page 26 to be exact. Can someone please explain to me on how I can remove the drive belt? Thank you!

7 Mistakes Many of Us Are Making With Our Money During the Pandemic
One way or another, we all make mistakes. It's the human condition.
But right now, in the midst of a pandemic, one thing you don't want to make mistakes with is with your money.
Sure, we've all let bad financial habits creep up on us. But in these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to make sure you're not your own bank account's worst enemy.
Here are seven mistakes people are making with their money during the pandemic, and what you can do instead.
Mistake 1: Not Pocketing $225 Just for Watching the News
It's been a historic year in news, and we're all constantly refreshing for the latest updates. You probably know more than one news-junkie who fancies themselves an expert in respiratory illness or a political mastermind.
And research companies want to pay you to keep watching. You could add up to $225 a month to your pocket by signing up for a free account with InboxDollars. They'll present you with short news clips to choose from every day, then ask you a few questions about them.
You just have to answer honestly, and InboxDollars will continue to pay you every month.
Unlike other sites, InboxDollars pays you in cash — no points or gift cards. It's already paid its users more than $56 million.
It takes about one minute to sign up, and start getting paid to watch the news.
Mistake 2: Passing up $500 in Free Stocks
Yes, the stock market certainly is scary right now. Stock prices shoot up and down like a roller coaster ride, and it's all just so unpredictable. But, what if you could get stock for free?
A company called Robinhood is doing just that by giving free shares of companies like Microsoft and Facebook.
Yeah, you've probably heard of Robinhood. Both investing beginners and pros love it because you can start investing with just $1. Plus, they don't charge commission fees, and you can buy and sell stocks for free — no limits.
To get your free stock, download the app and fund your account with at least a few bucks (it takes no more than a few minutes), Robinhood drops a share of free stock into your account. It's random, though, so that stock could be worth anywhere from $5 to $500 — a nice boost to help you build your investments.
Mistake 3: Not Setting Aside $1M For Your Family
Have you thought about how your family would manage without your income after you're gone? Chances are your checking account balance won't last forever.
Here's the thing: You should keep a healthy amount of savings in the bank, but if you want to give your family up to $1 million, use something called term life insurance.
We suggest a company like Bestow. Maybe you've considered this before, but thought it was only for rich or older people. But we're hearing that people are getting it for as little as $8 a month.
You can take advantage of Bestow until you're 54 years old, but the sooner you take care of this, the cheaper it could be.
You don't even need to leave your house to get a free quote from Bestow — it takes minutes. Instead of leaving your family with what's in your checking account and a bucket of worries, they'll be able to afford the life you've always wanted for them.
Mistake 4: Wasting Hundreds on Homeowners Insurance
You're probably wasting money right now. And it's probably on something you'd never expect — your homeowners insurance policy.
This isn't something you actively think about — you just know you're required to have it.
The problem is, you're paying too much. Luckily, an insurance company called Lemonade makes it easy to find out how much you're overpaying.
Lemonade's policies start at just $25/month. And just because you're saving money doesn't mean you're skimping on coverage. Lemonade will make sure you have what you need.
Just answer a few questions about your home to get started.
Mistake 5: Not Buying a Piece of Amazon, Google or Another Company
Take a look at the Forbes Richest People list, and you'll notice almost all the billionaires have one thing in common — they own a company.
But if you work for a living and don't happen to have millions of dollars lying around, that can sound totally out of reach.
That's why a lot of people use the app Stash. It lets you be a part of something that's normally exclusive to the richest of the rich — buying pieces of other companies for as little as $1.*
That's right — you can invest in pieces of well-known companies, such as Amazon, Google or Apple, for as little as $1.**
The best part? When these companies profit, so can you. Some companies even send you a check every quarter for your share of the profits, called dividends.
It takes two minutes to sign up, plus Stash will give you a $5 sign-up bonus once you deposit $5 into your account.
Mistake 6: Wasting Money on Car Insurance
How often are you even using your car right now? Regardless, there's one thing we're nearly certain of — you're overpaying on car insurance.
That being said, shopping for car insurance is a pain which is why we like using a free service like Gabi. In just a few minutes you can see if any other companies are offering a cheaper rate with the same coverage and deductibles you already have.
You don't have to fill out any forms. Just link your existing insurance account and enter your driver's license, and it will start looking for cheaper coverage.
They save customers an average of $825 a year. Plus, after you sign up, Gabi will keep looking for savings and alert you if there's ever a way to reduce that monthly bill even further.
Mistake 7: Paying Your Whole Credit Card Bill
If you have credit card debt, you know. The anxiety, the interest rates, the fear you're never going to escape…
Your credit card is getting rich by ripping you off with insane rates, but a company called Fiona could help you pay them off tomorrow.
Here's how it works: Fiona will match you with a low-interest loan you can use to pay off every credit card balance you have. The benefit? You're left with just one bill to pay every month, and because the interest rate is so much lower, you can get out of debt so much faster. Plus, no credit card payment this month.
Fiona won't make you stand in line or call a bank. And if you're worried you won't qualify, it's free to check online. It takes just two minutes, and it could save you thousands of dollars. Totally worth it.
*For Securities priced over $1,000, purchase of fractional shares starts at $0.05.
**You'll also bear the standard fees and expenses reflected in the pricing of the ETFs in your account, plus fees for various ancillary services charged by Stash and the custodian.

Once in a while, I make something and forget to post about it. I made this sweet baby quilt over a year ago, so I'll go ahead and blame it on the pregnancy-brain I was experiencing at that time.
When I made this one, I decided to submit the idea to Moda Bake Shop so I had to keep it under wraps until I knew if it was accepted. In the meantime, I snapped a few pictures and sent it off to my sweet sister-in-law.
By the way, this adorable fabric is primarily "A Walk in the Woods" by Aneela Hoey for Moda. I also managed to sneak in a houndstooth print from "Vintage Modern" (Bonnie & Camille for Moda) and another from "Millie's Closet" (Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs).
I love freemotion swirls, don't you? And let's not forget some super cuddly fleece on the back. It takes a bit getting used to quilting with something this thick, but the result is well worth it in the end.
Now if you don't recognize what this prototype became, that's okay. (I made some major changes between here and there.) It's my "Jumping Jacks" pattern, and the tutorial can be found at the Moda Bake Shop here. You can also see my original post about it here.
I'm sure you'll notice this is pretty much a complete reversal of that pattern. In this one, I used a charm pack to create a variety of center blocks with mainly neutral fabric framing them, and only a few "accent" frames. In the MBS version, I used a jelly roll to create a variety of frames around primarily neutral blocks--with a couple "accent" blocks thrown in the mix.
It's funny what things can change from rough draft to final, eh?

The chief executive of media giant Viacom expressed reservations about Google's plan to enter YouTube content into a database and give owners the chance to take down the material.
Viacom is suing Google for US$1 billion over content being used on Google's YouTube Web property without permission. Speaking at the Web 2.0 Summit event in San Francisco, Viacom President/CEO Phillipe Dauman expressed a willingness to work with online media properties but was skeptical of the Google plan, called Video Identification.
Dauman said he had an open mind about reaching an agreement and that the announcement of Video Identification was a positive evolution. But it is not enough.
"I don't think we're quite there" said Dauman. Google, he said, can do things quickly if it wants to, he added. "I guess they haven't wanted to at this point," Dauman said.
Google wants a proprietary system that benefits just one company, but the solution has to be a cooperative effort, said Dauman. He added he suspects Viacom at some point in the future will work with Google. The company does have a good relationship with Facebook, he said.
Viacom has had its defenders, according to Dauman. "A lot of the technology companies out there welcome what we do," he said. Companies have said it was about time somebody took a stand, Dauman added.
Like Google, Viacom has to protect its intellectual property. "I don't see their algorithms being shared openly with competitors," said Dauman.
"We took a step reluctantly because we had to," he said.
Content producers need to be rewarded for what they do, Dauman said. "That nurtures creativity," he said.
Viacom was part of a group of media and technology companies, along with vendors like CBS and Microsoft, that detailed Thursday principles intended to enable growth and development of user-generated content online while respecting intellectual property rights.
Featured in these principles is implementation of filtering technology to eliminate infringing content; upgrading of technology and cooperation in technology implementation, and development of procedures to address claims that content was blocked in error. Removal of content also is addressed.
Google was not a party to the announcement.

UPPER EAST SIDE — City Councilwoman Jessica Lappin snagged endorsements from top east side officials, including Rep. Carolyn Maloney, as she officially launched her bid for Manhattan Borough President Friday.
Lappin, who grew up in the city and is chairwoman of the council's Aging Committee, also received nods from Assemblymen Micah Kellner and Dan Quart.
"Jessica Lappin understands that no issue is more important for Manhattan than creating new jobs and spurring economic development. And she has a record that shows she knows how to do it," Maloney said in a statement, pointing to Lappin's role in bringing the Cornell-Technion Applied Sciences and Engineering campus to Roosevelt Island.
Lappin made the announcement at P.S. 15, the Yorkville Community School — one of three new elementary schools in the district that supporters said she'd helped to launch.
In her campaign's release, Lappin's team stressed her "commitment to reform and leadership" and her work trying to preserve affordable housing and opening new parks.
She has also been a staunch opponent of the planned East 91st Street waste transfer station, which she filed a lawsuit to halt, and has pushed for a crackdown on electric bicycles, as well as more air monitoring near the Second Avenue subway construction.
Lappin is expected to face a crowded field, including Upper Manhattan City Councilman Robert Jackson, former Community Board 1 Chairwoman Julie Menin and Upper West Side City Councilwoman Gale Brewer, in a contentious battle to replace outgoing Borough President Scott Stringer, who is running for comptroller.
Menin, who formally launched her bid earlier this month, got an early start on fundraising, and has already raked in nearly $1 million — as much as she is allowed to spend in the Democratic primary when combined with matching funds.
Jackson, who has argued that he holds the advantage as the only minority candidate in the race, got off to a later start and currently has just under $80,000 in the bank.
He'll be holding a high-profile birthday fundraiser next Monday with guests including former Mayor David Dinkins, Rep. Charlie Rangel and City Councilwoman Inez Dickens, according to an invitation for the event.
Brewer, who can not run for reelection for her current council seat because of term limits, has yet to formally announce a borough president run.
Lappin had $650,000 in campaign funds as of July, and expects to be done with fundraising by January, her campaign spokesman said.

Is this Liquipoint level switch not the perfect match for your application?
People who bought this also watched
The Liquipoint FTW23 is a point level switch for water-based liquids. It is used preferably in storage tanks, mixing vessels and pipes. Developed and built for the food and beverage industry, the Liquipoint FTW23 meets international hygienic requirements. The Liquipoint FTW23 can be used permanently in process temperatures up to 100 °C (212 °F) and in cleaning and sterilization processes to 135 °C (275 °F) for 60 minutes.
The capacitance at the tip of the sensor, and therefore the dielectric value of the medium, is determined using an electrical field. Given that the dielectric value of air and a water-based liquid differ, the Liquipoint FTW23 can differentiate between the two states, i.e. covered and uncovered.

Contact Congress: Arts Education and NEA Funding at Stake - (March 2, 2011)
Latest Spending Bill Eliminates Arts in Education Funds; NEA Budget Remains in Jeopardy
Tell Congress that eliminating arts education is a budget cut we simply can't afford. Arts in Education funds at the U.S. Department of Education were eliminated today when Congress passed a short-term spending bill that will keep the federal government open as final negotiations over all FY11 funding continue. The cuts in the short-term spending bill would eliminate Arts in Education funding for the entire 2011 fiscal year if Congress does not restore the fund in future FY11 bills. Today's short-term funding package omitted a number of smaller education programs - part of a "down payment" on further overall federal funding cuts to come.
It's not too late to rescue FY11 funding for Arts in Education and the National Endowment for the Arts! Your advocacy is essential as the House and Senate now use the next two weeks to continue setting their priorities for funding the federal government for the remainder of the current fiscal year. Contact Congress today to urge the following:
- Reinstate the Arts in Education program at the U.S. Department of Education, which provides vital federal leadership and funding that improves schools, teaching, and student learning. Cuts to this program will take away funding for multi-year programs that are already in progress!
- Restore FY11 funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, which was cut by 26% in the long-term FY11 funding bill passed by the House.

I know that there are many industry leaders who would dearly love to come into work, remove their cashmere coats, and dance on the boardroom table.
So few are afforded the opportunity -- or, quite frankly, have the courage or the moves.
Yet Microsoft's Surface Pro is such a liberating piece of machinery that you can cast your inhibitions into a distant closet and make like an inebriated spider.
That is one conclusion that might be reached from viewing Microsoft's new danceathon to launch this elusive product.
What might seem odd to some is that this ad is so similar to the launch ad for the straight-up-dancing-schoolgirls Surface.
Redolent of "Glee" at its (almost) finest, this ad showed the sheer exuberance that occurs when you get a Surface in your hands, discover that it makes a clicking noise, and feel the quite insane need to wave it around in public.
All it was missing was George Michael.
Some people enjoyed it. Some thought it the second coming of a bygone era. Perhaps the latter is precisely the effect Microsoft was trying to achieve.
But the Surface Pro is supposed to be a heavy-duty machine for heavy-duty things like, um, spreadsheets and firing plans.
Doesn't repeating the danceathon with people in nice suits lead one to think that this Surface is precisely the same product as in the original "Glee" ad?
Hey, remember that Surface thing? You can use it at the office, too. Yes, you can even wave two of them around at once, as you're heading into the quarterly finance meeting.
I suppose some will notice the pen being wielded. But is this a good thing?
Perhaps the aim is merely to tell you that this Surface For Business is called something different from the other one.
Perhaps, too, the aim is for the product to have sex appeal. This might have factored into getting the director of Justin Bieber's seminal "Never Say Never" movie to again exercise his skills here.
This might also be why Microsoft is now offering "extended footage of the school girls" from the original Surface ad.
For a product that is enjoying a certain cachet of elusiveness, somehow this Surface Pro ad makes it seem a little ordinary.
Apparently, everyone's got one.
Where's the glee in that?

The Fourth of July always triggers many fun memories from childhood and later years that I cherish.
Yet I can't help but wonder how much better those memories might have been, and how much more I would have paid attention in school, if it hadn't taken more than 40 years to discover that I am personally connected through generation-by-generation family ties to the original Fourth of July and the struggle for American independence.
My wish is that our future leaders experience this enriching discovery while they are still in school, that this knowledge is given to them early enough in their life to make a meaningful impact in their lives and the lives of their families.
That is why the American Revolution has continued to be one of the top five focus areas of Family Forest® growth during the last 15 years.
It is also why we say that the Family Forest® National Treasure Edition can connect more people through family ties to more of the people, places, and events in American history than any other digital resource, either online or offline.
Happy Fourth of July!

This blog is a continuation of a topic discussed in Does the Moon Really Make You Crazy? Part 1. Make sure to pop on over to that blog first to set the scene and get some interesting statistics regarding the moon and crime rates. If you don't have time to read the whole thing, at least take a look at the last few paragraphs. Today's blog is looking at a few other aspects of the lunar effect on behavior.
In my previous blog on this topic two studies showed a correlation between the frequency of certain types of crime and the phase of the moon. In this blog I will be looking at other ways the moon might influence behaviors like investment decisions and aggression. If market behavior is based more on emotion during the full moon, and aggressive impulses are also increased, it may be a sign that there is something to this moon theory.
The Moon and the Stock Market
"Moon Phase Effect on Investor Psychology and Stock Trading Performance" explores the connection between the full moon and investor performance. Basically the scientists were asking "Does a full moon mean less money and more aggressive behavior?" The short answer to that question in this study is yes. But before we take that data at face value, lets look a little bit at the methods. The study's conclusion is based off of 202 Malyasian investors. This seems like a reasonable number to look at though, although it is important to note that some of the original subjects were dropped from the study for dissimilarities or failure to complete both periods of observation. This may create a bias towards responsible investors and ruin any randomization. This study was a prospective observational study that used surveys and investor data to observe any potential relationships. In order to assess chance, the scientists also did linear regression model simulations to look at trends there. The simulations, much like those done on the prayer problem in class, were used to see how many simulations resulted in similar results simply through chance.
The study found that there was a significant statiscal difference between the return made on investment during the regular moon phases and those made during the full moon phase. Behavior during the full moon tended to be more antagoinistic and less intellectual. In other words, smart financial men were ruled more by instinct during the full moon than otherwise. As always, this could be due to chance, a Type 1 error, or it could be correct. Confounding variables could also be involved here, but for the same reason we ruled out reverse causation in the previous blog, we must also do so here.
A Contrasting Study
"Does Full or New Moon Influence Stock Markets? : A Methodological Approach" looks at the same topic but finds a very different result. There are some benefits to this retrospective observational study, particularly its longevity. The study was conducted from 1962-1986. In my opinion, that makes the data a little stronger because it is supported over a long period rather than the two sessions examined in the previous study. Over this length of time rises and falls of the stock market were compared to when they occurred in the lunar cycle. The researchers used multiple indices to compare and found that p>.05 and the correlations were not statistically significant. Of course since it is a study and not an experiment, the data may not indicate a correlation (or lack thereof). Reverse causation can be ruled out, but chance cannot, leaving the results susceptible to a Type 2 error.
Quite simply the decision I had to make here was personal. Which data holds more weight in my opinion based on the study methodology and results? Is there even a mechanism that could conceivably link the moon and strange behavior?
A Possible Mechanism
So we have evidence both from my first blog and this one that show a correlation between the moon and strange behavior (with the exception of the last study mentioned above). We also have years of anecdotal evidence that points to a possible relationship between the two. The word lunatic literally means "moon sick." What mechanism could possibly create this body of evidence? Over several sources I have noticed a common theme between papers. Particularly this one. Scientists seem to think that the same gravitational pull the moon has on the ocean also pulls on the water in the human body. Since we are over 50% water, scientists hypothesize that the body has mini tidal waves that throw our systems out of whack. This could be the cause of behavioral changes.
What to Take Away
After looking at all the evidence in this blog series, I have come to the conclusion that there is some evidence that the moon affects behavior. There are studies out there, like the one above, that say the moon has no effect on certain things, but they are only a small proportion of all the studies looking for correlations. In my eyes that indicates that those are Type 2 errors, although we shouldn't discount the idea that the file drawer problem may be affecting these results. The presence of multiple studies showing a correlation between the moon and strange behavior leads me to think that the idea has a solid base. Although the mechanism is disputed, the section on tidal waves provides one possible explanation.
In conclusion:
The moon might very well alter your behavior, making you seem just a little crazy.
Let me know what you think of these findings. During the next full moon, pay attention to your
behavior and those around you. Are they acting differently? Do you agree with my conclusions? Let me know in the comments below. If you haven't already, check out and comment on my previous blog by clicking here.
That's all for now.

By JEREMIAH TURNER
DOVER – A small manufacturer of chemical-free disinfection devices hopes to fund its expansion by offering air sanitation units to homeowners on an internet crowd-funding site.
Healthy Environment Innovations has been gaining acceptance for its unique method of killing harmful microorganisms, such as drug-resistant bacteria plaguing hospitals, using far-UV light. The firm owned and run by brothers Ed and John Neister has created lamps that emit the light wavelength and can be used in hand-held wands, air ducts and numerous other ways to sanitize without chemicals.
For several years they have perfected the lamp manufacturning process at their facility on Locust Street in Dover. HEI can produce a limited number of lamps now and has installed them in hospitals and a food plant on an experimental basis. A large food equipment manufacturer recently began offering HEI technology in its filling machines and that combined with other pending initiatives will require larger numbers of lamps -- and the capital to produce them.
HEI has turned to the Internet crowd-funding website indiegoggo.com to raise $1 million in the next several months.
"There are major companies in all sorts of industries interested once we can ramp production to 2,000 lamps a month," said John Neister, HEI executive vice president.
"They understand the technology and it's better than anything else out there but we have to show we can produce lamps for them."
The Indiegogo site is a way for HEI to raise capital by enlisting the public's help. It also allows the firm to offer air-cleansing devices for homeowners and businesses at reduced prices in exchange for funding. Detailed explanations about the firm and its technology are available on the indiegog website.
A home that has an existing air duct system for heating or cooling can buy an HEI air-cleaning unit for $729. Two units are $1,279.
Once installed, the HEI Far-UV GermBuster air unit emits wavelengths that kill bacteria and viruses in air passing through it. This is ideal for keeping a home free of illness-causing airborne microorganisms that can be especially harmful to people who are ill already or have allergies.
The Neisters point out the cost of treating a serious illness caused by airborne pathogens is far more than the cost of one of their units.
The indiegogo funding campaign will end mid-May. The goal is to sell 1,500 units.
People who support HEI's technology but don't need an air unit also can contribute smaller amounts to the campaign.
As of last week almost $9,000 has been raised by the effort.
Ultraviolet light has been used to sanitize surfaces for many years by altering the DNA of harmful microorganisms and hindering their ability to reproduce. What makes the HEI technology unique is its use of a specific far-UV wavelength that breaks the protein bonds in DNA, killing microorganisms that cause the flu, staph infections, pneumonia and other ailments.
The company cites tests showing it to be far more effective at reducing bacteria and viruses then standard chemical or UV methods.
HEI's GermBuster technology interested Benjamin Fogg, president and owner of the Fogg Filler Company, of Holland, Mich.
Fogg sells a range of devices around the world for filling and capping food containers.
Sanitizing and sterilizing containers to ensure food safety and longer shelf life without chemicals is achieved by various methods.
Fogg has been using standard ultraviolet cleansing methods in some of its machinery and at first was skeptical of HEI's claims. But after testing the firm has embraced HEI's method.
"We were skeptical until we went through validation testing and found it to be extremely effective ... in some cases up to 10 times more," said Fogg.
In addition to offering it in capping and filling applications, Fogg hopes to also start using HEI far-UV to clean the surfaces of food products such as vegetables, nuts and fruit passing through his machines.
The challenge will be marketing the new technology, said Fogg. The potential market is huge.
Repeated cases of mass viral infections on cruise ships, large-scale food-borne illnesses and most recently the discovery of new aggressive antibiotic-resistant microorganisms sickening hospital patients emphasize the need for new disinfection technology.
Ed Neister, HEI's founder and president, has started other successful firms in the X-ray and power plant emissions industries. He envisioned an alternative to chemical disinfection of hands and wounds when he first discovered the far-UV technology, which he has patented.
The difficulty of getting FDA approval for its use on people has slowed that goal. The huge market for HEI's technology in the food industry has taken the firm in another direction.
But testing continues in medical facilities, where chemicals continue to be the standard method of sanitation for hands, equipment and wounds. HEI one day hopes it also can have its GermBuster devices in operating rooms and outside every patients' room and doctor's office.

Cooly Rocks on 2018
|Posted by [email protected] on September 7, 2019 at 4:15 AM
Cooly Rocks On 2018
It seems like rockers from the southern states just couldn't get enough of Coolangatta's mainly sunny & dry weekend weather for Cooly Rocks On 2018. Not quite beautiful one day and perfect the next, but it was close enough. How could anyone complain when the Cooly rock n roll festival is mainly free entry to all music & dance events with the exception of a couple of gigs at the upstairs room in Twin Towns, South Tweeds Sports Club or at Seagulls. And what a bonus too this year when you can combine Cooly Rocks On with Wintersun 2 which started a weekend earlier at Murwillumbah, and later, on the same weekend as Cooly Rocks On with live bands staged at Seagulls.
The 1950's style festival at Cooly had fewer interstate bands this year but on the positive side, it gave interstate visitors an opportunity to sample lots more local Brisbane bands such as Twang, Lock N Load, the Argonauts, the Walters, Little Stevie and the Tailfins, Cherry Divine & Linelockers just to name a few of those bands. Lance Lipinski from Texas, USA was the headline musical act with his trademark showmanship and his extravaganza performance on stage. It was obvious everyone loved & enjoyed Lipinski's performance on stage. Personally, I also enjoyed seeing Aussie "rockabilly" and rock n roll legend from the 1960's - Lonnie Lee & the Leeman.
Cooly Rocks On is much more than just rock n roll. There was blues, swing and rockabilly on offer too to suit your music genre preference or style of dancing. Of course, Cooly Rocks On is also about kustoms and hotrod display & cruisin' plus the usual attractions like the street parade on Saturday morning, Miss Cooly Rocks On competition, dance competition & classes and merchandise galore on the beachfront at Marine Parade.
Not as many band stages this year but there were other venues staging gigs during day time and in the evening such as Coolangatta Sands hotel, Greenmount Beach Club, Coolangatta Surf Club, Currumbin RSL but the biggest venue has to be (again) Twin Towns where it was packed with dancers every night for the duration of the festival.
I enjoyed my weekend at Coolangatta this year and I am sure many others did too. The festival enables many to catch up with friends & family from interstates and to share a dance, a meal & drinks or simply enjoy watching the cars or bands on offer. Whether it was better this year is quite debatable but I am sure it could be better again next year if more rockers and the general public support & attend Cooly Rocks On. From reports I have heard, over 80,000 people attended the festival the year before and more people again attended this year which is good news. Increase attendance not only add to the festival's atmosphere but also results in more businesses participation and hopefully also encourages increase funding from the Council to run the event to its full potential. So together lets support rock n roll and keep it going for many more years to come.

Seeds of Truth
1. There was something in the way that you spoke to me that day
As you told me of the Savior's love and how he showed the way.
There was something deep inside that so softly testified that it was true.
These precious seeds of truth I owe to you.
2. Long ago a perfect man planted truth in hearts of men.
As my heart received these living seeds I came to understand
That as harvest time draws near, I must spread these words of cheer to all I see.
Your precious seeds of truth live on in me.
Now I will share the seeds of truth you shared with me.
My friend, I wonder if you will ever know
that flowers bloomed from seeds of truth you planted long ago.
I'll always say a prayer of thanks in hushed humility
for the tiny seeds of truth you shared with me.

Feeling the need to put down some roots? Vintage planters are an ideal way to add a little green to your style diet. Whether you're on the hunt for a colorful, Mid-Century planter to liven up an entryway credenza, or something a little more regal for a pair of outdoor topiaries (we're thinking brassy urns), Chairish has a surplus of used planters sure to fit the bill (or the plant)!
Featured: Humboldt House
Call it the greenhouse effect, but we're currently lusting after lush, verdant interiors. Drop fresh blooms into a vase and you have an instant (and virtually penniless) upgrade in any room, but for something a bit longer-lasting, why not opt for greenery that's potted in a vintage planter? Ranging from utilitarian ceramics to showy brass vessels, vintage planters certainly aren't the patio-only dwellers they once were. In fact, if it wasn't for our already green-dreams, used planters would single-handedly encourage us to roll up our sleeves and dig up some dirt. To help further inspire, we've outlined three simple ways to create botanical vignettes in your space all using secondhand planters as a base.
Vintage Planters on the Bar Cart
Having trouble deciding between which vintage brass planter you love the most? Yeah, we wouldn't be much help there. Our advice? Bring them all home and create a gloriously green vignette on your bar cart!
In keeping with a brass bar cart's notoriously glam feel, used brass planters or deeply-colored ceramic vessels are the perfect pairing. Fill them with succulents of the not-so-prickly variety (nothing against prickles, but we feel it best to keep them out of tequila bottle range whenever possible), and layer them onto your cart. Our best rule of thumb? Keep the majority of your vintage planters clustered on the top level of your cart. This will ensure the plants receive the maximum amount of sunlight and maintain easy access for watering. Feather the rest of your cart with stacks of books, candle holders, and bottles, working in small vignettes as much as possible.
Favorite Plant to Use:String of Pearls. The multiple levels of a bar cart lend it nicely to a cascading plant like string of pearls. With a look that's reminiscent of air-filled pods of kelp, a string of pearls plant will soften the hard angles of a square bar cart and lend a relaxed vibe (This is, after all, a plant who's signature move is letting her hair down!). Bonus points: this plant looks inspired in brass.
Vintage Planters in the Bathroom
Bathrooms can be notoriously difficult to decorate. Beyond towels and a fancy soap dispenser there's not much willing to brave a bathroom's tumultuous temperatures, including oodles of humidity. This does; however, sound right up a greenhouse plant's ally, does it not? Take advantage of plants' love for water and steam by indulging in a whole collection of them in a bathroom. If your bathroom isn't equipped with built-ins to place plants on, opt for a drill-in marble or brass shelf with pretty brackets.
Because of the swinging extremes present in bathrooms, look for vintage planters in durable materials like terracotta or ceramic. To keep the feel strictly spa-like, also opt for planters in a similar color scheme (whites, ivories, and grays are magic), and pair them with feathery-leaf plants like the zebra or spider plant.
Favorite Plant to Use:Snake Plant. Composed of vertical, variegated leaves that resemble daggers or hissing tongues (it's also cheekily known as the mother-in-law's tongue), the snake plant is a fabulous way to introduce drama into a teeny bath. They're also counted among the best ways to improve air quality in the home, as they give off oxygen at night, rather than absorbing it like most plants.
Vintage Planters on the Porch
Ranking among the classics that can't be shaken (nor should be!) are twin topiaries flanking a doorway. Pop two topiaries in vintage urn planters and you have an ode to colonial-era charm that rivals a Betsy Ross flag. While some will argue the look is a bit worn, we think twists like using grand chinoisierie urns or opting for a front door in an unexpected hue like yellow or masala keeps things delightfully fresh.
And while a colonial house obviously invites the look, don't discount it if you live in a bungalow or ranch, either. Instead, look for unusual vessels like old wine barrels, which are perfect if your home has a Tuscan tinge, or galvanized tubs for a rustic, farmhouse feel. Opt for tall-growing plants like lavender or sea grass, which can provide height without projecting the overly formal look of a traditional topiary.
Favorite Plant to Use:Boxwood. While we do love the untraditional, it's hard to deny the soulmate vibes that bubble between vintage urns and boxwoods. A boxwood's hardiness and wire mesh-like branch structure makes it ideal for clipping into any shape you please, including spheres and soft-serve-like swirls. Among the best varieties to consider for a used urn planter: Green Tower, Green Mountain, and Golden Triumph.

Gilroy Garlic Video Adulterated with Scarlet Letter(s)
A month ago I got a free trail for software that quickly and easily converts the files from the camera to a format that iMovie can edit. I had 30 days to try it and see if it was something I wanted to buy. I've tested a lot of these free trails over the years, and without exception, when the trial period is up, they simply stop working.
In this case, much to my horror, the program didn't just stop working; it placed a huge scarlet stamp over the frame of every clip I downloaded! Since I had seen the previews, and they looked fine, I had cleared the camera as usual. So, now my wonderful footage is forever desecrated with these scarlet letters. I will further my public humiliation by posting some of the film tomorrow anyway, if only to spite my digital oppressors.

Chef John, There are free programs available on the net to recover deleted pictures from your memory card. It works well if the part of the card that the pictures were on, wasn't overwritten by pictures you took later. Check it out. You may get some or all of your pictures back. Good luck. Jim

Chef John..Here is a site you might try for recovering your images.

Thanks, but the video wasn't on a card, but stored in the camera's memory. I think it's gone.
- July 29, 2008 at 12:22 PM
Card or memory, it's the same thing. When you erase files, your camera is really just removing the name so you can't see the data. The files are still there, just unnamed. The programs jim mentions should recover them.
The camera doesn't need to take the time or expend the energy to actually delete files when it's just as easy to overwrite them when new info gets recorded. Give it a try if you really want those pics. It'll work.

Ahh, I don't know how many free Appz there are for Mac's. I see plenty of programs you can buy to do it, the cheapest being $32. You don't know someone with a Windows computer that could help? Loads of free software that can do the job for Windows. Come on Chef, it's easy, do we need to make you a video with hard drives hanging on the wall? ;-)

Thanks for your help, but it's not a big deal. It only affects the spycam stuff which I dont use often. I can use the program that came with it to convert. The free program was just faster. I really dont need to recover these video files. It's just a short film.

I'd send a link to the company and let them know what bad press they are getting. Maybe they'd help you out on this and extend their "trial period" so you can recoup them in full view for the blog.

Chef Jon,
This is Meeta... I hope you remember me.. I must have been one of your rare Indian students. I have been wanting to get in touch with you for a long time but was not sure how. I left for India in a hurry and could not get your info or as a matter of fact anybody else's which I shall always regret.
So I am on the verge of opening a restaurant here and had to let you know.

Of course I remember you! But, why did you have to open in India? How am I going to get my free meal?? Congratulations, I wish you all the success in the world. I know you will do a great job! Please send me some photos of the food when you get a chance. Thanks!

If there's some footage that you absolutely MUST have, there's software to remove these! I would probably go on a rampage and shoot everyone responsible, but I respect your sensibility :-P
Anyway, there's software that can create a "difference mask" from a frame shot against a white or black background and will apply it with some tweaking to the rest of the video. As you can see, the watermark isn't completely opaque and thus can be removed to some extent....
Love the site!

Here you can see a detailed look at the forecast for the next 48 hours. Note that the base for this is our Meteogram product, which shows a good average forecast for Hartshausen (Freising, Bavaria, Germany).
However, you can also look at our compact prediction based on any other model that forecasts for your chosen location.
The following models are available for Hartshausen:
Swiss Super HD (2-3 days), COSMO-D2 (1-2 days), ECMWF 6z/18z (3 days), ECMWF IFS HRES (5 days), ICON-EU (5 days), Swiss HD (3 days), EURO-4 (2 days), GFS (5 days), GEM (5 days), ACCESS-G (5 days), ICON (5 days), NORWAY (5 days), SwissHD MOS (3 days), DWD MOSMIX (5 days), Serbian MOS (5 days)
This plot displays the 14 day temperature forecast for your selected location, Hartshausen.
The red numbers show the expected high temperature for a given day, while the blue numbers show the expected low temperature. Because forecast uncertainty increases with time, we also display the range of possible high/low temperature outcomes, shown as the shaded red/blue regions. The actual high/low temp could fall anywhere in that shaded region, and the larger the shaded regions are, the higher the forecast uncertainty is.
Current weather - Here we've put together a glance at all the most important information about the current weather in Hartshausen (Freising, Bavaria, Germany). You can see with the radar HD if precipitation is falling at the moment, or headed towards Hartshausen soon. You can also see where there are thunderstorms currently ongoing, as well as where thunderstorms have occurred in recent weeks and months with our lightning analysis tool. Our HD satellite images of Hartshausen will show you whether there's sunshine currently in the area, or if clouds are making for a more gloomy day. Finally, current observations will tell you what current temperatures look like around Hartshausen at the moment, as well as if it's humid and/or windy.
Forecast for the next few days - The weather forecast for Hartshausen is available in several different versions, all clearly and simply displayed here on the Weather Hartshausen page. For the short term, we have data based on a single weather model that is known to deliver the best forecast for Hartshausen. For the longer term, we have forecasts for the next two weeks based on an analysis of many different possible forecast outcomes that will give you a sense of not just what's most likely, but how the forecast could change in future updates as we get closer to any given date. If the range of possible outcomes is narrow, you can have high confidence in the forecast. If the range is wide, you know there's more uncertainty, and to not give too much credence to any one possible forecast outcome. We also have other products such as Meteograms and Forecast XL elsewhere on our site to give you additional options for figuring out the forecast for Hartshausen.

But truly to comprehend the growing reach of this formidable organization, it is necessary to recall once again how the computers that power the N.S.A. are also gradually changing lives of Americans — the way they bank, obtain benefits from the Government and communicate with family and friends. Every day, in almost every area of culture and commerce, systems and procedures are being adopted by private companies and organizations as well as by the nation's security leaders that make it easier for the N.S.A. to dominate American society should it ever decide such action is necessary.

Fox must be happy with the Matt Reeves' take on the new Planet of the Apes franchise, because even before the second film has been finished filming, the Cloverfield director has been hired to film the third movie as well.
Deadline is reporting that 20th Century Fox has asked Reeves to come back (once he's completed his work on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) to film the third installment. Which could mean very good things about this sequel.
Set after the fall of man, Dawn stars Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, and Jason Clarke (the new John Connor), while Andy Serkis will return to play head ape Caesar. The sequel follows a group of human survivors who have to face Caesar's ever-growing Ape army. Also, cars no longer work for some reason and everyone rides horses.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes will hit theaters on July 11th.

What are the letters printed on top of the cross?
I believe the letters to which you are referring are "INRI." This comes from John 19:19-22:
Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS." Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don't write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'" Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
This title in Latin is "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum." That is,
Iesus: Jesus
Nazarenus: of Nazareth
Rex: King
Iudaeorum: of the Jews
This title recognizes who Jesus truly was and is at the very moment he finally fulfilled all that the King of the Jews was to do for his people. He died for the sins of all who place their faith in him so that they would be covered over by his perfect righteousness and sinlessness and not have to be judged by God on their own good behavior (which they do not have). By this work, he made the people of God to be far more than those who are Jews by birth. Rather, the true Jews, the true people of God, are all who believe in Christ for salvation:
If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Gal. 3:29)
I pray this faith is yours as well, for it makes the Cross of Jesus Christ the source of everlasting hope.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Mini Bio
I am Admnistrative Manager at Hotel Mansion Teodolinda at Managua city, capital of Nicaragua. I have a business degree, so I am not a deep knowledgeable computer person. I am a Amateur Radio since 1993, and a enthusiast on packet radio. By now I have a license of the highest level. Time to time, I work as part time lecturer at Universidad Centroamericana on subject related to Management and Tourism.
My very first attempts with linux were with Red Hat around 1999, I had several hardware problems and leave it for some years. I took a book of FC4 bible in 2006 and have been using Fedora as my main OS ever since.
I have joined the local Fedora community called Fedora-ni on march 2008. By the same time I have joined the local LUG: GUL-NIC (Grupo de usuarios Linux de Nicaragua).
There is no much Linux formal training opportunities at Nicaragua, so I took a short course in Linux Server Administration based on openSUSE (May - June 2008). This helped me a lot to fill in where my empiric learning have left voids.
I applied to become Fedora ambassador on August 20th, 2008.
February 2008 marked the beginning of a difficult situation. As the Fedora Nicaragua web site frozen on time, it was needed another local news space. Fedora Nicaragua came to life with a mailing list and the promise of a local repo.
Luckily there was a Linux course based on Fedora on March 2009. This really help me get a hang of terminal.
Since April 2009 I have been running administrative task on FreeMedia Program. By this time I also engaged on a Linux Course based on Red Hat/Fedora.
There are moments when everything happened at the same time. June 2009 was this kind of time. There was a successful Fedora 11 Launch Event in Managua. I made presence in the First Central American Free Software Encounter representing Fedora Community. Finnaly I was invited to FISL and Fudcon LATAM.
On September 2010 I did not engaged on events, as I went abroad to Denmark to participate in ProcessMarker training.
On January 2010 I have joined Fedora Marketing Team and then participate in Marketing Fedora Activity Day on March.

Projects as an Ambassador
- Promote a monthly gathering where users that get Fedora installed from different install parties can get support. Working with local FOSS community we have established Pizza-Bash events. This are an informal activity where people can get help face to face. I have been hanging Fedora posters and helping Fedora users.
- Set up a local repository at Nicaragua. In the mean time set up a private repository for updates a give access to users that do not have internet and also to be used at install parties without internet access. A local ISP has shown interest in this project, they are allocating server space for this. Update(19 feb 2009) the server is on. Most files are stored, rsync is completing them. Test looks fine so far.(9 Apr 2009) The Nicaraguan repo is working, more info here (Spanish) This is now off line.
