Davide Segat
Like many Italians in London's cocktail industry, Davide Segat worked his way up from menial jobs to positions of great standing. To the difference of many of his compatriots, though, he just didn't want to come to London in the first place. Now, he has one of the finest CV in the city's drinks scene and we've asked him to tell us how he got there…
Davide had dropped out of school and was making ends meet with various jobs. His then girlfriend wanted them to leave Italy and go to London. "At that point, I didn't want to move, but she was insisting so much that I said 'ok, let's go and see how long I last'". Over ten years it turned out: in spite of a difficult first year ("little English and little money"), Davide came to enjoy what he was doing. Typically, while studying the lingo, he worked at an Italian restaurant. After eight months, his English more assured, he moved to a better place where he started making cocktails and realized this might be something he wanted to keep doing. The reluctant mover decided to stay on…
From then on, it wasn't smooth sailing. Even though Davide was growing to like his new career orientation, he still felt he needed changes. And they were harder to come by than he expected: "I swear I even applied to Prêt à Manger and they turned me down. So when I got offered a trial at the Connaught, I though 'Oh well, this is not going to work, is it?'". This was the Connaught pre-Ago Perrone. At the time, the boss was Brian Silva, an expat US bartender and a legend in his own right. And Silva took an instant shine to Davide: "I had a lucky break: Brian told me 'I like you, you've got the job'. I couldn't believe it".
Like many young bartenders more or less self-trained at fancy places, Davide thought he was better than he was. "Working with Brian, I realized I didn't know anything. It was a humble step back, a blank paper. I understood I had to do things the way Brian was telling me to". A couple of years later, the Connaught closed for refurbishments. Initially, Davide followed part of the team to Miami, but soon came back to London ("They expected me to lead the bar, and I was only ready to be a bartender") and settled at Dre Masso and Henry Besant's Green & Red, a tequila bar that had become a beacon for the whole industry: "To this day, I met there 75% of the people I know. Tequila wasn't well known, and bartenders would come to see what the fuss was about".
From there, Davide moved to Hawksmoor, where he worked under the wings of Nick Strangeway. And it's Strangeway who picked him in 2013 to become Bar Manager at his latest project, the Punch Room in The London EDITION Hotel. Four years and a few awards later, it's a resounding success, but it wasn't at all obvious that people would take to a bar that only does punches, an old, underappreciated and often misunderstood category. "If we weren't where we are, it probably wouldn't have worked. There are three bars in the hotel. There's the restaurant bar. There's the lobby bar, in this massive space – it's loud, it's busy, people are standing, it's ideal to let loose. And then you have the Punch Room, sitting only, quiet, dark and cosy", explains Davide. In essence, you can choose your atmosphere. But there's still the question of the drinks. "It was challenging at the beginning. What we do is that we have a big bowl of punch of the day, always ready, and each guest is offered a glass. And it challenges their expectation. They realize how nice punches can be. Plus we have a full menu, explaining everything: the style of punch, the flavours, etc." And although punches were made for sharing, the Punch Room offers individual serves, two persons bowl or, if you have many friends, a gigantic 100 serves bowl… The success of the space is such that future EDITION hotels (and there are quite a few on the way) will have their own Punch Room. Not bad for what was the riskiest bar at the initial project.
We're pretty sure Davide, an avid traveller, will be on hands to teach the staff of the new locations how to sell punches to a suspicious public. We wouldn't however put money on him leaving London: the reluctant Londoner now seems quite at home in Europe's trailblazing cocktail capital.

I know this is somehow related to the 10 node connection limit of windows, but I don't see how this problem arises fairly randomly and with only six rendernodes. I am running backburner server and Vray DR spawner both as services with specified usernames (same username for all nodes).
In my event viewer I am getting system errors Event ID 2017 "The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations." and Event ID 2021 "The server was unable to allocate a work item 2 times in the last 60 seconds."
I have also tried the various fixes online that reputedly increase the TCP/IP limit of a vista machine, but none seem to have worked. Does anyone know of a fix?
Also, once the node gets denied access by my workstation, I have to reboot the workstation to re-instate a working connection. Is there a service that I could restart on my workstation to fix the problem to avoid me having to reboot?
Since to my knowledge the net traffic and remote access handling is more advanced in ultimatte. But ask the system gurus .. i can't give a deeper and more qualified answer.
I don't think the problem is related to remote desktop. There is a known issue with Vista losing network connections to connected non-vista machines. Something to do witn SMB1 and SMB2.
I'm just hoping that there is a working solution out there somewhere.
If I could, I'd return my copy of Vista and swap it for xp64... but that's a non-starter!
What I do is have a temporary folder on another node that I use for filesharing the maps for my 3d projects.
What version of Vista do you have? If it's not OEM but full retail, you should try your luck with micrsoft support. As I'm using OEM versions I get NO support. As I said before this is a known issue, but I guess unless enough of us complain about it nothihng will be done.
I wonder if the same problem occurs in windows 7?

In this first novel of the series, we meet the four Metis youth who will make up the team of friends who will support each other in their personal and collective growth. By exploring the Metis bison hunt of the Canadian Prairies, Jaimie discovers her voice and her path as a storyteller.
How does the bison hunt, a Western Canadian Metis tradition that's 150 years old, transform Jaimie's life in modern times?
Jaimie is in grade 7. She's a young Canadian Metis whose ancestors are Anishinaabe and French. A simple class project leads her to new friendships and taking risks in a journey full of discovery. The bison hunt allows Jaimie to begin to understand the richness of her culture and her own immense potential.
Playful in its approach and rigorous in its research, this novel describes the traditional organisation of the bison hunt extremely accurately as well as its vital importance in the social and economic fibre of the Metis people. Jaimie and the Bison Hunt deals with questions of identity, self-esteem and leadership. It is first and foremost a work of fiction rich in adventure and imbued in human values.

Welcome to the 5th anniversary of the Biathlon23 awards! (imaginary fanfare!) I know, I am as surprised as you that it has lasted this long! This year we have a couple of special guests giving out awards. I couldn't afford much so no Leo DiCaprio or Jennifer Lawrence. Instead we have the winner of the OLYMPICKS (my Olympic competition) and also the runner-up. Look out for their awards below. It could be the first and last time I let anyone else run amok on my blog! Their awards are all their own work! Mine are of course subject to the the same rigorous system used to ensure fairness in the nominations and winners – I pick them and it's totally biased! Read, enjoy and feel free to disagree! 🙂
After the news that Ole Einar Bjoerndalen is retiring, these awards are dedicated to him for being such an amazing competitor and a fabulous servant to the greatest sport in the world. Thanks Ole, will will miss you!
Most hits on the blog (so most popular):
At one point this was going to a para-biathlete which I was very excited about considering it was Scotland's Scott Meenagh but then the Olympics happened! A certain lady became very, very, very popular after some good performances finishing 5th in two races. In fact she now has the most popular interview on my blog ever and by a very long way. She also got her first podium finishing second in the last race of the season. I hope all the attention is due to how good she is at biathlon and not how beautiful she is but that may be wishful thinking!
Winner: Paulina Fialkova
Strangest search on the blog:
I love people! I love them because they are strange! Here is a selection of some of the strangest searches on the blog this season! I get a lot about gossip, boyfriends/girlfriends of biathletes and people looking for nude pictures! Sorry wrong blog for all that but there is always some gold in between! For example:
"Paralympic biathlon, Brittany Hudak skiing in 2018, biathlon 2018 Paralympic Games": YES! I will make you all love para-biathlon! ALL OF YOU!
"nationality of 2018 Olympic sprint skier Bolshanov": That is f#####g cross-country! Get off my blog!
"dorothea wierer the blast": I've got nothing!
"how to pronounce einar bjoerndalen's name": I believe it is 'Ole' like the Spanish!
"anton guigonnat, elisa vitozzi, samulson biathlon": How they will be known from now on!
"klemen bauer nude": I suspect it was Klemen himself searching for this!
"größe paulina fialkova": She is neither big nor fat! 😉
"andre chisholm": Canada's wax tech Andrew just became all European and sexy sounding! 😉
"linstrum bistholon switzerland": Makes perfect sense to me!
Winner:"french biathlete Anais Chevalier fires her rifle": Well yes every couple of kilometeres in fact! It's kind of what biathletes do! 😉
Best Facial Hair:
Some strong competition coming from the para-biathletes this season with Collin Cameron and Aaron Pike sporting some majestic full beards. The IBU had the usual suspects, last year's champ Michael Roesch and Benjamin Weger. However this year there is only one choice. At the Olympics a mad Italian decided to dye his moustache in the colours of the Italian flag. I guess he really wanted this award!
Winner: Lukas Hofer
Best earrings:
Ladies you have been disappointing this year with the earring choices. None have inspired me much. In fact this season it's not even a woman who will win this. It's not even an earring! For some reason someone thought it would be a good idea to get their nose pierced. But not on the side, oh no, through the middle. Doing his best impression of a bull and risking getting it caught on something ripping his whole nose off, for bravery it has to go to the American!
Winner: Leif Nordgren
Best fall:
It turns out falls are better when you see them on TV and not in real life. The best one on TV this season was in the Oslo Men's Sprint. It was the mighty who fell breaking a ski pole and you just know all the other biathletes were happy to see that even he makes mistakes! Well I was anyway. Admit it you were secretly pleased too! 😉 Of course he falls just as well as he skis and so got up and still made the podium!
Winner: Martin Fourcade
Best quote in a press conference/interview:
The question was "The teams ran 151 penalty loops and you shot 10/10 today, what was your secret?"
The answer was " From now on I will shoot with closed eyes! Maybe it's better, maybe it was the secret!"
I knew it! I knew that's what most biathletes do! Now I have the proof!
Also watch for Lukas Hofer's reaction to the question! 😉
You can watch it here from about 3:48.
Winner: Dominik Windisch
Best biathlon video:
There exists in the darkest corner of France, I believe it's commonly known as the Savoie region, a collection of odd winter sports people who make crazy videos of a nordic nature. Their third installment of 'One of Those Nordic Days' is another madcap showcase of all things on snow. They seem to have strange obsession with minions and chainsaws but c'est la vie! Worryingly they seems to have included people who are not biathletes in it! Once they sort this out they will surely win an Oscar!
You can watch it here. (Look out for a certain Simon Fourcade as Rambo!)
Winner: Team Suitcase sorry I mean Valoche! 😉
Best rifle design:
Another disappointing rifle design season. I mean seriously people you have all summer to come up with a design and then choose one block colour or a wooden stock. YAWN! Two people did make the effort thankfully! Marketa Davidova went for pink with unicorns! Amazing! However it wasn't quite enough to win. Taking inspiration from teammate Anton Shipulin's dragon, this lady has a tiger carved into the front of her rifle! RAAR! (That's meant to be a tiger by the way!)
Winner: Svetlana Mironova
Flower Gatherer of the season: (awarded by Nuno Magalhães, Portugal winner of the OLYMPICKS!)
Biathlon's flower ceremony, which rewards the individuals placed between 4th and 6th in every World Cup event, is very unique to the sport and the spark for a particular cocktail of feelings, ranging from the satisfaction of a job well done to the pain of falling just short of the podium. It stands to reason then that, taken in the context of a whole season, claiming a litany of flower bouquets is both a reflection of consistency throughout the year and a fair bit of bad luck.
Thus, in order to identify the biathletes that fell most frequently into this grey area, I went back to the final standings of every non-relay WC race contested in 2017-18 and tallied the points for every male and female competitor, distributing 3-2-1 points for each fourth, fifth and sixth position.
Lisa Vittozzi (2 fourths, 2 fifths, 0 sixths (2-2-0), 10 pts) and Kaisa Makarainen (1-2-3, 10 pts) share the top spot for the women. On the men's side, Benedikt Doll (3-0-0, 9 pts), Arnd Peiffer (1-1-5, 10 pts) and Emil Hegle Svendsen (3-1-0, 11 pts) put up a good fight, but the award ultimately belongs to a German with (3-2-1, 14 pts), who I hope will find some solace after a season that featured several near misses, no WC podiums for the first time since 2012-13, and that heart-breaking photo-finish defeat to Martin Fourcade in PyeongChang.
He might have to be nicknamed the florist from now on! 😉
Winner: Simon Schempp
Best ski suit:
Norway receives a special commendation for their suit. It's always good. The Czech Republic I also like. Canada almost won this in an excellent comeback from the 'Where's Wally (Waldo)' debacle! There was a lot of red, white and blue suits this season but one stood out for me above the rest. Paulina Fialkova told me it was her favourite and it's mine too.
Winner: Slovakia
Worst ski suit:
Russia in maroon? Germany in green and yellow? Some strange colour choices this season. Belarus dressing like frogs for the Olympics! However one suit stood out (quite literally) from the rest and that was the bananas on skis. Strangely it grew on me over the season, kind of like mould on cheese, but not enough to avoid this award. I think it's just the block yellow that does it. Throw a bit of blue in somewhere. Not even Zlatan would be seen head to toe in yellow!
Winner: Sweden
Best Biathlete23:
The easiest decision I have ever had to make for these awards! Turn up at the Olympics, win a gold medal in the first race. What a star! She couldn't have done it without the bib though!
Winner: Laura Dahlmeier
Biggest Improver:
This goes to a biathlete who has always been good but this season looked like the real deal. Before this year she only had 1 podium finish to her name. This season she got three plus another three fourth place finishes. At the Olympics she was 4th in the Mass Start, 6th in the Sprint and 11th in the Pursuit. She won a bronze medal as part of the Mixed Relay team and her shooting has been exceptional. She moved from 27th to 6th in the Total Score and it's just a matter of time before she wins her first race. I'm sure it won't be long until she becomes Italy's number one biathlete.
Winner: Lisa Vittozzi
Best Team Performance:
This one was pretty obvious to me. As a fan of biathlon I like biathletes who shoot well and I like to see them beat the teams who can ski faster than them. The conditions were exactly right for this at the Olympics with the weather levelling the playing field. The two biathletes who would normally be seen as weaker really shone and the team shot better than anyone else on the day in a victory for shooting over ski speed. Although it does help if you have Darya Domracheva on last leg for the skiing! 😉
Winner: Belarus Women's Relay Team
Biathlon23's performance of the season:
After finishing 7th in the Sprint and 5th in the Pursuit at the Olympics it wasn't a surprise to see this person do well in the Individual. It was a surprise that she won it! One of just three women who shot the perfect 20/20 the 22-year-old turned in a faultless performance in the ultimate test of a biathlete. Actually there was one small fault, she was wearing bib 24!
Winner: Hanna Öberg
IBU Biathlete of the Year:
I know what you are thinking Martin Fourcade will win this! WRONG! It must be Kaisa then! WRONG again! They are always at the top either winning or very close to it. This season we saw a biathlete who despite having 2 Olympic gold medals was never that great on the World Cup. Previously she had won 5 World Cup races in her entire career and she now she has won 5 in one season. She has shown much better consistency just missing out on the Overall by 3 points but winning the Sprint and Pursuit titles. Oh and she won 3 medals at the Olympics, a gold and 2 silvers!
Winner: Anastasiya Kuzmina
IPC Para-biathlete of the Year:
There were so many amazing performances by the biathletes at the Paralympic Games that it's almost impossible to choose a winner. There were many multiple medallists and some stunning performances. I am giving it to someone who got six medals in six races (even though 3 were in cross country I will overlook such treachery just this once). He won his first biathlon Paralympic title and also a silver and bronze in the two other biathlon races hitting 49 out of 50 targets. He added another silver and two bronze in the sport we don't like to mention. Apart from that has done two biathlon23 interviews which also helps when it comes to winning awards! 😉
Winner: Mark Arendz
Junior Biathlete of the Year:
A difficult decision for this award as there are a lot of good Juniors around at the moment. The winner finished second in the Junior World Cup Overall but actually with the same points as the winner. She also won a gold medal in the Women's Relay at the Junior World Championships as well as two bronze medals in the Sprint and Pursuit. She won a race on the World Cup in the Obertilliach Sprint and was third in the Mixed Relay there too. She grabbed another podium in Nove Mesto also coming third in the Sprint. At just 21 she looks like a great prospect for France and dare I say it, is already better than her big brother Aristide! 😉
Winner: Myrtille Begue
Youth Biathlete of the Year: (awarded by Jeff Mattarocci, USA runner-up in the Olympicks)
I'll choose a member of the US Biathlon Team. She is an under 16 athlete, who regularly competes with the Youth ladies and can hold her own with them. She just came off a great US Biathlon Championships, where she won every race she entered, two as a youth and one as an under 16. The future looks good for the US ladies team! 🙂
We will have to keep an eye out for her!
Winner: Lexie Madigan

Exciting and Rewarding Alaska Silver Salmon Fishing
When it comes to salmon species, King salmon usually get all of the attention. However, Alaska silver salmon fishing can be a great option too if you are looking for a lot of action. Although these fish are a bit smaller than Kings, they are usually a lot more of them out in the water for you to catch.
Although these fish are somewhat smaller, you will still be in for a good fight whenever you land one. Here are a few tips to increase your chances of success when going Alaska silver salmon fishing.
If you want to catch silver salmon, then you will not be able to lie around in the bed all day. They are actively feeding just before dawn, so it will be in your best interests to get up early. You will need to be out on the water while it is still dark outside.
When you are Alaska silver salmon fishing it is important to take the depth of the water into account. Silvers typically feed in more shallow water. Therefore, the bait at the end of your line should be no further than 60 feet down whenever you first start fishing in the morning.
As the day wears on though, Alaska silver salmon will migrate a bit deeper down. Therefore, you will need to drop your line down a little bit.
When operating in larger bodies of water, it is a good idea to make use of a depth finder. These pieces of equipment will help you locate schools of bait fish much more easily. Once you have found these schools, then you will know that silver salmons will not be too far behind.
The particular type of depth finder you use is also important. Some models are capable of displaying the water temperature. Knowing the temperature of the water will come in useful since this will largely determine what depth to look for the fish you are targeting. Just know that the temperature near the surface will be different than the temperature of deeper areas. You should place a sensor on a drop line to get an accurate reading for the depths you need.
Alaska silver salmon are very aggressive predators. This is especially the case just before they start spawning. This characteristic is very good for fisherman since it means they will attack virtually anything you put in their path. You definitely should not have a hard time finding lures or baits that will produce results.

BEIJING, China — Walmart Inc said on Monday it has opened its first small-sized high-tech supermarket in China, which will stock products that customers will also be able buy on the US retailer's store on Chinese online marketplace JD.com.
The move comes as "smart retail" gains popularity in China, as retailers and tech giants such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and Tencent Holdings Ltd cut deals to integrate shoppers' online and offline experience.
Walmart's store, located in the southern city of Shenzhen, will stock more than 8,000 items ranging from stir-fried clams to fresh fruit, 90 percent of which will also be available online.
Items shopped can be delivered to customers within a 2-kilometre radius as quickly as 29 minutes, said Walmart, which owns a stake in JD.com.
Walmart said that customers at the new supermarket will be able to use a mini programme on Tencent Holding Ltd's WeChat as they shop, and bypass traditional checkout counters by paying via their mobile device.

Religion is all about the mystery of our life
Since we are entering the realm of religion, it may be useful to remind ourselves how traditional religions functioned. What were these religions really about?
They tried to answer fundamental questions that still confront each person in our world:
•Who am I?
•Where do I come from?
•Why am I here?
•What is the meaning of my life?
•What am I really worth?
•Why do I need to suffer?
•How can I find fulfilment and happiness?
Traditional religions provided answers by placing us, human beings, within a wider, spiritual context. Everyday happenings made sense because they were part of a `universe' of value and meaning.
Traditional religions in their various forms taught that everything that exists has been made by a God (or the gods). We have been created for a specific purpose. Our ultimate happiness lies in fulfilling our potential and conforming to the rights and duties enshrined in our nature. Friendship with God (or the gods) guarantees life beyond the grave; whether in re-incarnation, nirvana or heaven. Egyptian religion may serve as an example.
Four thousand years ago, the Pharaoh of Egypt and his courtiers would recite this hymn to Amon-Râ in the Temple of Karnak:
'Hail to you, Amon-Râ,
Lord of the thrones of the two countries
of Upper and Lower Egypt,
Eldest of heaven,
Firstborn of earth,
Lord of what is, present in all things,
Master of truth
and father of the gods and goddesses,
Who made human kind and created the animals,
Who created fruit trees, grass and cattle,
Who made what is below and what is above,
Hail to you!'
The hymn is found engraved on a statue of the Thirteenth Dynasty (1775 BC) and on a papyrus that dates from the Eighteenth Dynasty (1550-1350 BC). See: J.B.PRITCHARD, Ancient Near Eastern Texts, Princeton University Press, Princeton 1955, pp. 365-367 (I quote only excerpts; the hymn is 106 lines long).
Though many of the expressions are foreign to us, we have no difficulty entering into the religious contents of the prayer. We are attracted to it; and yet there are elements in Egyptian religion that worry and disturb us. The Egyptians attributed everything that happens in nature to divine powers. Their gods and goddesses were a strange lot.
•Toth, god of intelligence, depicted as an ibis; patron of artists, scribes and judges.
•Ptah, the craftsman god, who resided in Memphis. He designed the shape of creatures at creation.
•Isis, the `great goddess', depicted as a cow or as a mother suckling a child; source of fertility and life.
There were twenty other prominent gods and goddesses. And even granted that there was a slow transition to belief in one supreme God, the god Amon-Râ, people's lives were in reality dominated by hundreds of superstitions. There was the constant anxiety of trying to placate this or that divine power, to protect oneself by incantations, sacrifices and plain magic.
Religion for our time
Ancient religions, like the one practised by the Egyptians, cannot satisfy us any longer for two principal reasons: they rest on a world view which has been overtaken by our new scientific understanding; and they make people the slaves of fears and superstitions.
Traditional religions gave expression to the religious dimension of life. They were also right in trying to give people a framework that fitted the needs of the time. But they were a human, often all too human, attempt to formulate answers.
We, too, in our own day need a religious perspective, but we need one that is suited for our time. I for one am convinced that Christianity, if properly understood, does provide just such a perspective. But I also recognise that there are many historically dated and human aspects in all religious traditions, including in Christianity, which will simply not do for our situation today.
To find our true self we have to discover or re-discover our place in a mysterious universe. In other words: we need to recognise and reaffirm religion in our life.
Video on the meaning of religion
The following 30-minute video is PART ONE of the film Journey to the Centre of Love. [Click adverts out of the way.]
The text in this chapter is from How to Make Sense of God by John Wijngaards, Sheed & Ward, Kansas City 1995. Tom Adcock designed the cartoons. The Catholic Press Association of the United States and Canada awarded the book a prize on 25 May 1996.
The video clip is from Journey to the Centre of Love (scriptwriter & executive producer John Wijngaards) which was awarded the GRAND PRIX by the Tenth International Catholic Film Festival held in Warsaw (18-23 May 1995). It also received the prestigious Chris Award at the International Film Festival, Columbus Ohio, in 1997.

This year, there was one night which was clear, so my niece and I raced out at sunset to capture it. We were too late to shoot the orange glow from the setting sun, as we were playing a game and had to finish it before setting out to take photos, but we came away with this shot that I am pleased with.

It grew into a ridiculous odyssey of nearly 4 hours. I also did several mashups and I always try to do lots of deep mixing with two tracks at once. It spans probably 2 decades in terms of tracks and represents many, many hours of crate digging. Anyway, enjoy and share at will.

Having just installed XnView I'm not able to get image files associated with it for my (restricted) user account.
Yes, I know the Associations dialogue and it it's easy to set file associations for the administrator account which I used to install XnView.
For other applications associations set on the admin account also affect user accounts. But here Windows file type dialogue simply doesn't show any applications associated with the image files on the user account.
I also tried to assign the user account admin rights. After that the associations also showed up on the former user account and worked flawlessly. Removing admin rights from it again showed the former behaviour.
Also removing the associations using the admin account, assigning admin rights to the user account, setting associations here and removing admin rights resulted in the known behaviour.
I can't say who's wrong here, Windows, XnView or me. So I filed this in the Bug Reports forum since the problem only shows up with XnView though I don't relly want to blame it.
Anyway, help is appreciated.

Warning: Illegal string offset 'filter' in /home/smokeo7/public_html/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 1489
Drift trikes are basically big wheels like we had as kids.
Drift Trike 411
However, these have engines because most of us don't have the endless energy of a six year old. Sections of PVC plastic are slid over the tire and then the tires are inflated, which allows the bikes to slide through the corners on the hard plastic.
Drift trikes are a blast – These things are a blast to watch. The only concern we really had to address is we need keep the trikes in the big mini-bike race area. People cruising on golf carts or trikes (in the crowd area) pisses everyone off and I understand that.
We have a great group though and they will be respectful of that concern. I really think these things could have a future at the Smoke Out. It's one more exciting, fun thing to watch. Win-win. We have all kinds of people at the Smoke Out that just love to use hacksaws and welders and this could be crazy.
We Are Going Racing!
Friday Night Fights Trikes
The race is scheduled for Friday night at the same location as the mini bike races. REGISTRATION AND RACING WILL BE RUN BY THE GARAGE 71 CREW. REGISTER AT THE SAME TIME AND PLACE AS THE MINI BIKE RACERS.
The drift trikes will run before the mini-bikes. The initial requirements include:
- 1 speed transmission
- 1 gear
- No shifts
- Under 6.5 horsepower (not hopped up… safety) rear tires can range from 10″ slicks to 12″ enduro with either sch. 40 or sch. 80 ABS or PVC
- Front brakes are a must with the PVC on the rear tires and the inability to stop quickly
- Kill switch
Depending on the amount of people that get involved we will either run heats with three racers or fastest lap. It can get a lil' hairy with any more riders on the track

There was a parent that had been angry with me throughout the first half of the school year - for various reasons. On my 40th birthday, she wanted to meet with me and the principal so she could explain her concerns more. In front of the principal, I heard the criticism, "Genius Hour is crazy. All the parents think so. You should do more PR for it." I woke the next day and wrote this blog post about the changes I'd be making. And then I acted. Out of suffering. I endured. Quitting was not an option. She wanted PR for parents? OKAY! I took the notes I'd been keeping to myself in an Evernote folder, and I put them into an online binder - for all to see.
The LiveBinder was created out of pain. It started because Genius Hour had become something I MUST do with my students. I needed to defend it. I needed to find the stories that motivated others to try it. I needed to let parents know just WHY I was using this time in class on a weekly basis.
It grew. During the #GeniusHour chat once a month, teachers had always been asking - How do I start? How do your hold your students accountable? How does this prepare them for standardized tests? What can I use to inspire my students? What do you do about students who have a hard time with this type of learning? I started making the LiveBinder helpful to teachers, as well. I began collecting, every day, posts and ideas that people were tweeting out about their own trials and tribulations, creativity, innovation, engagement, passion...
There are now OVER 400 teachers who have made the Genius Hour LiveBinder what it is today.

Changes at the Adolphe Merkle Foundation
The Adolphe Merkle Foundation, which actively supports the Adolphe Merkle Institute (AMI), has announced changes to the composition of its Board. Former Swiss President and current Board Chairman Joseph Deiss has stepped down, as has Isabelle Chassot, director of the Federal Culture Office and former Canton Fribourg Education Minister.
The Foundation has elected Peter Huber, already a member of the Board, as the new Chairman, and appointed Jean-Pierre Siggen, Canton Fribourg's Minister for Education, Culture and Sport, as well as Chantal Robin, the Director of Fribourg's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, as new members of the Foundation Board.
Prof. Christoph Weder, Director of the Adolphe Merkle Institute, said he was grateful for the support of the departing Board members. "I would like thank Mr. Deiss and Mme Chassot for their outstanding service, leadership, commitment, and contributions to the development of the Adolphe Merkle Institute over the past ten years," he added.
The Adolphe Merkle Foundation was founded in 2007 by the Fribourg industrialist and entrepreneur Adolphe Merkle. With a capital of CHF 100 million, its mission is to promote research and education at the University of Fribourg. This private donation, the largest at the time in favor of a Swiss university, enabled the creation of an internationally renowned research institute for nanomaterials (Adolphe Merkle Institute - AMI), and helps support other activities within the Faculty of Science and Medicine (FRIMAT), as well as at the Faculty of Arts (Institute of Multilingualism). In 2018, the Foundation contributed the equivalent of 35% of AMI's overall expenses, which totaled CH 10.4 million.

Ravenswood, Ontario's newest wind farm,
is the first of its kind to be built and brought online with the
help of the province's renewable energy standard offer program. The
10 MW, six-turbine facility is one of more than 200 contracts
awarded through the program since November 2006.
The program encourages small, local, renewable energy projects and
is expected to add another 1,000 MW of renewable power from these
projects to Ontario's electricity system over the next 10 years.
The Ravenswood project - developed by Sky Generation, in partnership
with Bullfrog Power - will help Ontario's total installed wind
capacity surpass the 500 MW mark.

Eating at Hammerheads is about as relaxing as fighting real hammerheads for a rack of ribs. Hammerheads, located on Swan Street, has a reputation for their smoked meats and crowded space. Upon arrival I was heralded by a large Hammerhead shark suspended over the door of a small basement restaurant. The bar/dining area was crammed with people jostling to get past one another, and we finally sat ourselves outside in the chill Autumn air, feasting our nostrils, if not our bellies, on the tantalizing scent of smoking meat.
Our waiter was very curt, and informed us that the kitchen would not be taking any orders for at least twenty minutes because of the volume of people in the restaurant. While I appreciate honesty from a server, I did not appreciate the drumming of his fingers or his brusque manner as we ordered.
After another twenty minute wait, the appetizer arrived about thirty seconds before our entrees. This error does not detract from the fact that the crisp mushroom medley was a delight, earthy and well seasoned. The medley came with a gorgeous sun dried tomato aioli that complemented the crispy shitake pieces with tangy moisture.
Our entrees were beautifully presented on planks of wood. The duck sandwich was disappointing; the meat lacked that succulent quality duck ought to have, and the smoky flavor was barely discernable. The rack of ribs was much better, cooked with spicy dry rub and falling off the bone. The house made barbecue sauce was a welcome tart addition.
After our meal, we made the trip inside to sample some ale, and despite the cramped atmosphere, the beer was good. The entire experience was affordable and passably tasty, if a little too crabby in the service department. Not to be snarky (or sharky) but if I visit again, I hope to avoid the feeding frenzy.

Help - Extreme Guitar Problem (noise related)
Hey all,
I've been having a severe electrical hum on my guitars since May and no one can seem to help diagnose/fix it. I've been posting to forums and had several 'experts' up to my pad to help but everyone leaves scratching their heads. I have a feeling it's very simple but I'm not sure how to pinpoint the problem.
To make what has become a very long story short, here are the details in point form:
- moved to a new apartment in May only about 0.5 miles from our old place.
- small recording rig: 2 guitars, Yamaha Motif keyboard, PC's, 1 external rack that contains Echo Layla sound card, Rocktron Prophesy and Drawmer Front-End One.
- all gear was functioning exemplary at the old location.
- at the new location the guitars have a terrible broadband noise. ON an RTA there is a definite 60 Hz spike, with harmonics all the way through the audible range.
- most notable is the single coils on the strat. Although the humbucker is actually noisy enough to be unusable. Pickup Positions 2 and 4 (middle out of phase combo) are almost acceptable with a noise gate.
- the keyboard actually registers noise around -65db. Assumed it is picked up through the line-out instrument cable.
- the guitar has one null point where it clears up (again not enough to be usable with high gain). The axis is such that the power supply to the building is directly in line with the narrow of the body. On that axis (180 degrees from the supply) is a newspaper printer that may be operating interfering communications devices.
- the rest of the system is wired balance and has an acceptable noise floor, but still maintains the 60Hz spike (not directly audible but measurable).
- old apartment built in 1960s, had what I would consider old wiring, 100 units.
- new apartment even older but the outlets have been replaced. 7 units. Each outlet is grounded to the panel via conduit. Approx 0.9V RMS measured between neutral to ground. Powerline transformer feeds 7 buildings about the same size.
In terms of diagnostics, here is some of what has been done to date - with no measurable change. All results are measured against the guitar performance and not the RTA.
- tested all outlet wiring.
- Removed all gear from rack and moved just the preamps to another location in the apartment. Plugged into headphones, disconnected all other appliances from circuit in the house.
- shielded guitar a la instructions from Stew Mac - copper shielding of both single coils and cavity (strat only).
- plugged into two different UPS devices
- plugged into two different isolation transformers
- tuned radio to a noisy weak station. (690 AM). Incredibly noisy until immediately past the transformer at the end of the block, at which point it is crystal clear (for a distant station anyway).
- Power company has had TV and RFI, EMI, and Power Quality divisions here several times but no one can find a problem (none of them seem to be able to replicate the radio problem). Measurements have seemed to fall within their 'Normal' parameters. However, TV and RFI were unable to do a broadband frequency analysis. Power quality couldn't measure anything other than 60Hz.
- Gear has been moved across town and performed well again indicating no damage has been done due to the move.
Hopefully that gives you an idea of what I'm battling. I'm currently back in school studying music and electronics and it's killing me to not be able to use my gear! If any of you have any further avenues to explore, or recommendations please let me know. Likewise a knowledgable professional in Los Angeles would be welcome!

Are there any RF equipment (xmitters) near by? I had an instance where they installed a HBO repeater near by and someways AC hum rode in on the RF (evedently) Cured it by replacing the front end op-amps with jfet types, but your situation is more complicated (although could be caused by the same mechanism)

No floursecent lights on in our place but there are old circular flourescents in the carport. They shouldn't be a problem as power to them is controlled by a timer - and the noise is constant whether they are on or off. Also, a handheld radio test doesn't offer any noise difference close to the flourescents.
Could be a transmitter but nothing is apparent to the eye. We are in a residential area but there is a newspaper printer very close, about 250 feet. I could picture them sending but no need for sending. We are not on the same supply transformer as them.
At wit's end. I was testing my bass in my drawmer pre today and noticed another computer-like sound on the line, even when the computers were unplugged. Of course that is only audible when the bass is off-axis and the other broadband noise is at minimum. I can see lights dimming and hear those changes on the guitar as appliances are switched in and out of the circuit.

You say its an apartment - is it possible that someone else on the same circuit box is running some sort device 24hrs a day that is polluting the line (say maybe something on the order of a fish tank)?
I think that every one has experienced intermittent noise when someone in your house/condo/apartment runs a power tool or possibly a defective electrical device of some sort.
Probably not practical, but could you dummy up a seperate fuse box that is not bringing the noice from the common box to every receptical in your apartment?

I sent the link to this thread to a very good friend of mine who has had significant experiences in bands, recording studios (he co-owned a 128 track studio at one point) and the printing/graphic arts industries. To paraphrase his response, the problem is that you are living next to a printing company (he said something about a "6-colour Heidelberg"). Their presses are causing all the RF hash you describe. The only real fix is to move. Sorry.

I can't tell you the complete answer, BUT you should find someone to try to 'sniff' out the interference with some test equipment. The RF techs may be looking in the wrong part of the spectrum. I have a Strat myself, I understand.

You must disconnect from wall all machines and start listen only with the combo. If problem will be in this " basical case " too, use insulating transformer and step by step connect all machines and watch when it comes. You must use " elimination method " - try any guitar, any combo etc. - I mean, that problem may be in three cases : damaged combo, near printer or " grouded anthena " connectin ( if is there ).

izzit possible to use a DI box and use balanced line stuff instead?? would probably cure the problem...unless the noise pickup is from the guitar innards itself...

It sucks not to be able to play without huge background noise. Sorry.
That said, have you access to a line conditioning unit (fancy name for an RF filter)? You might try one of those to shield some of the electrical noise in the power line. Will not help very much, but still worth a shot. An isolation transformer will pass the noise through the core, may lose some of the higher frequencyies, but will be effectively passing all the noise in the guitar band (upto 3-6 KHz) so will be ineffective.
The second thing that helps is to completely shield your guitar. I had a similar problem where I was when I bought my electric gear (subsequent locations had better power conditions) and I used aluminium foil to completely shield the innards - the pickup cavity and the spring cavity. It made a world of difference. In the case of Strat type guitars it's easier, as there is a pickguard which you can remove and mask with copper tape, and ground it to make a nice large shield. You can also convert your gear to balanced input/output, which will help a lot.
Last of all, change your cables. I realised that street-retailed cable is junk, and started making my own. My noise levels cut down tremendously, and on stage there was no background buzz at all, and this without using a noise gate. I just buy samples of all wire available, and keep testing till I know which has the best shielding.
Again, your only real solution may be to move, as that makes the biggest difference.
Edit: Sorry, I see now you've tried shiedling the guitar. My mistake.

Bishop Robert Barron teaches that evil is the negation of all good. He says there is no pure evil in humanity because all that God has made is good. The evil cannot take the inherent good from the person. There may be evil but it is never complete. The negation of good usually comes from experiences of pain, or some type of loss. To witness evil is quite intrusive and disturbing. If you have ever witnessed the good fade from someone and in it's place seen only empty, hollow, hate it is disconcerting. If you have ever witnessed it pointed completely in your direction it is somewhat paralyzing.
So, what can negate the evil, hatred, and anger nothing but the return of good. One cannot fight anger with anger, it only escalates and inspires more pain. Witnessing the anger and emotional tirade of someone in pain is a horrible reality. One's reaction, if good is the goal, must be expressionless, as not to feed the anger. When the emotional irrationality slows down and breaths are taken then the good can start to return. Ministering to a person that hates and persecutes, and accosts one with words of violence, lies, and dishonor is disheartening. The only thing worse would be to believe any of the hate being spewed. The Christian response is mercy, not holding a grudge, trying to become empathetic and praying for the person grasping evil because the person cannot find the good.
"Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." – Luke 23:32-33
As Christians we must see that behind the anger, hate, and pain there is good. To follow Jesus Christ completely we must continuously seek the good even when experiencing persecution. Today, think of those who have hurt you and try to find a way to see the good.

Yes, the Disney Movie . . . I've told y'all I might as well be six years old! Besides being an adorable movie though, it also accurately describes the way I've felt with our recently chilly temperatures. Also, this version of "Let It Go" is my favorite, in case y'all were wondering:
Though it's not exactly fun dealing with chilly temperatures, I am totally loving slipper socks. They have some cute ones here that can be warmed in the microwave to keep your feet toasty! :O See:
We've had a fire roaring all day long. It keeps the house far warmer. Yippee!!
Hot Cocoa and Candy Cane Tea Galore! I'm planning on having some of this in a moment!
I've been loving this one recently.

I'd been wanting to read Maggie and Me, Damian Barr's memoir of growing up in the shadow of the Ravenscraig Steelworks. And I was thrilled with the trompe l'oeil dog-eared and tea stained cover...
But I soon realized all copies didn't look like mine.
So I got an ARC, through Royal Mail.
It's a great read, Damian growing up with a strange affinity for Margaret Thatcher, who changed this Scottish family's existence in myriad ways.

Director, IMLS
Last spring, I attended the Washington DC launch of the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading. Spearheaded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and a broad coalition of public/private organizations, including the National Civic League, the National League of Cities, and United Way Worldwide, the campaign is a coordinated, national effort to boost reading by 3rd grade. Recognizing that "third grade is a critical juncture on the road to high school graduation," the campaign plans to tackle three challenges: school readiness, summer reading loss, and chronic school absenteeism.
Importantly, the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading recognizes that it will require community solutions to achieve success, and I know that libraries and museums play key roles in the early learning experiences of parents, caregivers, and young children. We at IMLS are proud of the many early learning grants that we have awarded to libraries and museums around the country—through our national discretionary grant programs and at the state level through our grants to states work. Many of these projects are already "moving the needle" on school readiness and summer reading loss! And we are currently planning a partnership with the campaign to craft a more intentional approach to this important national issue. But before we announce our plans, there is something you can consider right now.
In 2012, as an extra incentive for communities to work collaboratively to meet the campaign's goals, the National League of Cities' prestigious All America City Awards will be given to the 10 communities that "develop the most comprehensive, realistic, and sustainable plans for improving grade-level reading by increasing school readiness, reducing school absenteeism, and addressing summer learning loss." The award requires each community to form a cross-sector team to create the detailed plan.
You can read more about the award at www.allamericacityaward.com.
We know that many libraries and museums are already working with their community partners on their applications. The important key dates for this competition are: October 14, for the submission of a letter of intent confirming a community mobilization to develop a plan and secure data, March 12, 2012, for the submission of the application, and June 30-July 2, 2012, when finalists will present plans at a Denver conference and winners will be announced.
This is a wonderful opportunity for libraries and museums to move their early learning efforts forward! I encourage you to learn more about the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading and the All-America City Award, consider how you can work with other organizations in your community on its early learning needs, and throw your hat in the ring!

Eh. Some decent acting (and next week looks to be a lot of fun...but while not actively painful, this episode was pretty much useless.
The modern day story (ie, the actual story content, aside from flashback):
1. Vamp shows up.
2. Vamp catches most of the cast in the midst of story-driven incompitence (why didn't he get Lorn, anyways? Has Lorn overdone his quota of incompitence for the season, or is he just rationing it for later episodes? Or is there just no tension in seeing a demon who can survive without his body just fine in a "hanging" position, so the writers decided to leave the concept out?)
3. Vamp approaches Angel, who doesn't stake vamp, with no good reason for so doing (he did not, as it turned out, have any sort of "ace"; the correct response to "I have your friends tied up with piano wire and hanging from the ceiling" is to stake him and then release them -- they certainly weren't in any imanent danger that his presence as required for).
4. Vamp gives a speech. This is good, because it means the episode is almost over.
5. Angel stakes vamp, who was apparently asking for it. Given his other actions this episode, this comes as absolutely no surprise (I mean, you could have predicted pretty much the entire episode from the moment Angel picks up a piece of wood in his office -- including most of the flashback).
The episode was complete filler, and damned well could have been better.
Certainly, the flashback was entertaining and reasonably well done, with a lot of neat bits (the initiative, even angel being forced to vamp a guy as the only way they could live through this, though I get real tired, real fast at the trope of keeping around a pack of vampires because angel is a wimp and "they could be useful" -- if the two extra vamps didn't have "marked for death" stamped on their heads -quite- so throughoughly (one of them even had a red shirt! :), this might have had -some- suspsense in it) though I think it could have been done better in terms of the episode as a whole...but the fact that Nothing Happened, and the modern plo
The easiest way to rescue it would have been to actually have a plot for the modern sequence -- having the vamp show up as an actual "monster of the week" would at least be interesting; allowing for some active moments among the cast intercut with the backstory -- in the, oh, 10-15 minutes they accorded to the modern frame, there could have been something going on.
Even better would to be to actually have -some- surprises in the flashback sequences/combination (you know, what flashback sequences are -for-; to have a broken narrative where one part gives you new information for the other one?) -- maybe have Bad Boy turn out to, instead of having been vamped on the sub, come back as a ghost, or be a demon of some sort, or being a sorceror working with the Initiative, or...well, anything except what you could predict in the first 10 minutes or so.
Watchable episode, with some well done scenes...but it -so- screams "waiting for sweeps week".

It's easy for me to recycle wine bottles. My wife (Mrs. Noontime) and I simply refill our bottles with more homemade wine. We always tend to be a little short on bottles somehow… maybe because we give away a lot of wine. Always with a custom label, of course.
We were bottling a few months ago, and ran short on empty wine bottles. We had to resort to asking friends to save their empties for us, and we even ended up (gasp!) buying bottles. Oh, the horror!

Dr. Dodman provided information on the common presentation of three compulsive behaviors in cats - wool sucking/pica, psychogenic alopecia and feline hyperesthesia syndrome. He addressed the cause and treatment of each disorder, including genetic foundations, environmental pressures that trigger them, and environmental and pharmacologic therapies that have been shown to reduce, or in some cases practically eliminate their expression.
He outlined a phenotypic study of wool sucking funded by Winn, listing potential causes and preventive measures that can be taken to reduce the occurrence of this troubling and occasionally lethal condition. Also, Dr. Dodman discussed findings of a Winn-funded study to locate atypical genomic regions in Birman cats affected with this condition.

Dr. Lyons presented a review of her work, then lead into a description of "Precision Medicine", which is now available for humans, and its role in the future of feline medicine.
Gene-specific DNA-based tests for inherited diseases have been available for veterinary health care in cats for over 25 years. Now over 40 genes with nearly 70 DNA variants have been documented to cause phenotypic, disease or blood type variations. More recently, the entire genomes of dozens of cats have been sequenced, rapidly gleaning the genetic information that is controlling health and what an animal looks like. In the coming years, veterinarians will be performing whole genome screens of some kind as a routine component of a disease diagnosis. Whether for tumors or other diseases, the DNA results will routinely direct future therapies.

Dr. Vicki Thayer, Executive Director of Winn Feline Foundation, interviews Dr. Jody Gookin of North Carolina State University about her recently funded 2016 research project (W16-053), Efficacy of a new treatment for cats with ronidazole-resistant Tritrichomonas foetus infection.
Tritrichomonas foetus (TF) is a parasitic infection that causes foul relapsing bouts of diarrhea in cats from every corner of the world. Only the drug ronidazole has been identified as effective in treating TF infection but 36% of cats fail to clinically benefit from the drug and others suffer from drug toxicity. An alternative drug has been identified that is 10 times more effective than ronidazole at killing feline TF. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness and safety of this alternative drug for treatment of cats with TF infection and diarrhea and that failed prior treatment with ronidazole.

Dr. Tolbert describes her two ongoing studies on this disease and how this research might provide answers on diagnosing and possibly preventing this frustrating condition in cats.
She also follows up with her plans for future research she believes would be valuable for improving cat's lives and she hopes that Winn will be able to fund in future years.

On Nov. 7, 2018, the Westchester Jewish Council held its quarterly security roundtable, a working meeting for security officers and officials from synagogue and community centers throughout the county concerned with the safety and welfare of their members. More than 80 attended. While the group has been meeting since 2001, this night had more urgency. It was less than a week after the attack at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh where 11 congregants died. Council member Elizabeth Lampert, event co-chair, opened the meeting with a moment of silence and explained that 11 empty chairs in the front of the room represented those who lost their lives. The Council, as the Jewish community's first responder, facilitates communications and best practices of security among member organizations.
Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr., as the county's chief law enforcement officer, addressed the group, recommitting the resources of the District Attorney's Office and its Westchester Intelligence Center to helping secure all sites where residents gather "whether in an urban church, a community mosque, a suburban synagogue, a movie theater, a club or a yoga studio." Scarpino stressed, "We should not accept hate perpetuated against our innocent brothers and sisters for their religion, race, or the color of their skin."
Andrew Ludlum, Acting Director of the Westchester Intelligence Center (WIC), with his deep experience as an FBI agent involved in counter-terrorism, delivered a step-by-step outline of how to assess security issues at properties, secure those sites, and monitor possible threats. He explained the WIC's mission in relation to security in Westchester County. It is to collect, analyze and disseminate actionable intelligence regarding threats and other safety issues to Westchester County law enforcement and to provide community briefings, like this one, regarding public safety to organizations within the county.
Only a few hours later, another mass shooting rocked America, an attack on a local club in Thousand Oaks, California. DA Scarpino issued this statement:
"Just last night, I met with the Westchester Jewish Council at their security roundtable as they continue to find the best possible ways to secure their synagogues and community centers. I spoke about the viciousness of mass violence in America, which strikes our places of worship, our schools and the places we gather to relax and have fun. Last night, just hours later, a gunman killed 12 people at a bar and dance hall in suburban California. Young lives were lost and so was the life of a career law enforcement officer – Ventura County Sherriff's Sergeant Ron Helus. Our heartfelt condolences go out to their families, friends and colleagues. I said last night, we are all traumatized by these unspeakable acts. But, our trauma should not freeze us. Instead, it should make us more vigilant."

About Us
After earning her M.D. from University of Washington Medical School, Elise Leland and her family moved to Vancouver for Elise's residency training. When she graduated in 2005, her husband, Ernie, encouraged her to open her own practice and joined her in doing so. They took a crash course in medical billing, electronic medical records, and all the crazy, unique aspects of the medical business world, and opened Orchards Family Medicine on August 1, 2005.
In the years that followed, staff was added and offices were changed. In late 2013 we were able to upgrade our home and moved to our current location near the Vancouver Mall. Here, we are able to offer our patients a homey comfortable environment while providing privacy and exceptional medical care.

Re: beginner question
Paul Wilson
Hi Jerry, and welcome to the group.toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I own three handheld radios: a Yaesu FT60, a Baofeng UV-5R, and a Tytera
MD-380. The Tytera operates on analog and DMR (digital mobile radio) in the
440 band. The Yaesu and Baofeng are analog-only FM dual-band (2-meter and
70-cm band.) I don't think a tri-bander (with 220 MHz) is really necessary
as a first radio. The Yaesu was my first radio when I got into the hobby
four years ago and it's given good reliable service. A handheld is a great
way to get started. Handhelds transmitting 5W can hit all the local
repeaters if you have decent line of sight.
The Baofengs have developed a bad rap, not the least of which was generated
last summer by an FCC enforcement action against their importers. The
Baofengs are easily modified to transmit (illegally) outside amateur
frequencies. Of the two as a "Desert Island Radio," I'd definitely pick the
Yaesu. It's very rugged and has much better battery life from the supplied
battery pack. By comparison, the Baofeng's build quality is a little
cheesy. But keep in mind it's also a $30 radio, and you tend to get what
you pay for. With the either one, invest in a decent antenna. The "rubber
duck" that's supplied with the Baofeng--throw it in the junk drawer, or use
it to stir your coffee. That's about all it's good for.
With either radio, I'd strongly recommend picking up a programming cable in
order to use CHIRP.
[https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home] Programming
either rig from the keypad is tedious, although the Yaesu keypad is a
little friendlier. On the Baofeng you have to hunt through menus for *all *the
settings, including squelch. The Yaesu has a squelch knob, which I much
prefer, and you can access various features like "reverse" with one touch
from the keypad. The Baofeng also emits a loud and annoying "pop" when the
squelch opens.
These are just one user's opinion. Ask around.
