Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and approximately 99% of the bodyâs calcium exists in the bones. The major function of calcium is building and maintaining bones and teeth.
Calcium is also involved in various metabolic roles such as nerve transmission, contraction of muscles and the regulation of heart muscle function.Both calcium and magnesium are essential for bone health, as well as playing important roles in healthy muscle and nerve function. The levels of calcium and magnesium in this formula are in the desired ratio of 2: 1.Vitamin D is essential for the absorption and utilisation of calcium. Deficiency of vitamin D results in lack of bone strength and density, and joint pain.

I found a main contender and I'm looking for opinions on it. It's the Ines Gown at BHLDN. The price is right at $700, it's super comfortable and I really like close fitting lace gowns. What's making me unsure on it is it doesn't really shape my body, I kind of prefer the ones that squeeze and tuck me in. Also…tell me if this is nuts, but I feel like the lace pattern looks like there's a uterus on my uterus. ugh.
Please give me all opinions, good and bad! Thank you!

Imagine a village on the northern coast of Spain. Picture a hundred ruddy-faced, rough handed peasants who usually spend their days in the fields, in their metal workshops, in their carpentry sheds. (Move the clocks back a century or two if it helps the visuals.) Tonight they gather in the village hall. Tomorrow they go back to their labour and toil, but tonight, tonight they will feast, they will drink, they will dance, they will laugh, and they will feast some more and then some more still.
Rachel McCormack of Catalan Cooking and Franz Schinagl (ex head chef of Asia de Cuba) have spent the day cooking enough food to feed all of them, with a little more for them to bring home.
Except there aren't a hundred villagers. There's just 18 of us curious city slicker eaters, tucked into the various charming nooks of Beas of Bloomsbury in London this Saturday past.
With no idea about the variety and scale of food that's about to wallop us at this debut Catalan pop up dinner.
Rachel is a native of Scotland, but spent much of her 20s living, working and evidently eating and cooking in Barcelona. She's now a maven of Spanish cuisine and produce in London, and runs a schedule of Catalan homestyle cooking classes at Beas. I have ambitions of attending one of those classes this year, but in the meantime, jumped at the opportunity to taste her cooking beforehand.
We begin the evening with manchego cheese, olives and fuet, a Catalan-style cured chorizo. It's flavoured with pepper rather than paprika or garlic, and so its taste is much more subtle than its Castillian cousins. The lovely manchego is rosemary covered, brought in by Flavours of Spain.
Rachel paired this course with La Pamelita, apparently Spain's only sparkling red wine, made by Pamela Geddes, another Scot who lost her heart to Catalonia. It was refreshing with just a tinge of sweetness that didn't descend into cloying. I could stand to drink a lot of this. And I think we did!
Here's the very fiesty Rachel serving what turned out to be my favourite course of the evening: Sopa de Carn D'olla, or the stock from all meats. Apparently just about everything that was cooked that day had a long baptism in this stuff. It looks like a light consomme, but it's got the hefty flavour of Bovril, a treacly essence-of-beef from my childhood that invokes memories of (who knows why) shuffling around indulgently in pyjamas on a rainy day. This is stuff to mend the soul. Especially with a drop of wine. This particular one was the Raimat Abadia 2007 from Lleida. Great with soup, also very enjoyable straight up.
The hot mains were served buffet style at the cafe's small front counter. Which proved to be my personal undoing because each time I'd come back to my table with a sensibly full plate, I'd realise that yet another slew of dishes were just making their way out. So of course back to the counter I would go. My dining companions just about had to wheelbarrow me out of Beas after dinner, I was so full! In fact even after a very raucuous karaoke session which lasted till 3am afterward, I woke up at noon on Sunday STILL FULL! How many times has this happened in the past after a large buffet meal? ZERO.
So, Rachel and all the Catalan villagers on whose shoulders you stand, I salute you.
But back to the food. The arroz al forn amb bolets -- rice cooked (in the all-meat stock and some tomato sauce) in the oven with wild mushrooms, holds tons of potential, but was a touch too al dente for my taste. Just a splash more stock and another 10 minutes in the oven, for me personally. The dish seemed plenty popular with the other diners though.
The Tarragona-style hake was absolutely gorgeous -- its firm white flesh standing up well to the romesco sauce. A friend of mine whose parents have a house in this corner of Spain spent a recent dinner with me raving about the hake there. It might be time to see if his parents are maybe looking to adopt.
Here's Franz cracking open the seabass cooked in salt (above).
The best rendition of this dish I've ever had was at the now-defunct Korfez in Istanbul. Saturday night's version was pleasant, but Korfez still holds the title for me. Specifically, the seabass flesh at Korfez was much firmer. Whether one fish was fresher than the other, or whether one was wild (firmer) while the other was farmed (softer and a touch powdery), or whether one was somehow affected by the cooking method, I'm not sure.
Have you met my darling girl kopibren? This is kopibren (below) right after Rachel's told us that the next course to come is pig trotters. If there is any group of people who love the more awkward bits of a pig more than the Spaniards, it's gotta be the Chinese.
And there they are, cooked... in the pot along with everything else I guess ... just one of the many off-menu bonus dishes that night.
The trotters trot out fond memories of my Dad's side of the clan, who roundabout this time of year chow down on many of these, braised in dark soya sauce and chili and garlic. I also find myself thinking fondly of my friend Su Lynn's Mom, Aunty Lisa. I remember studying for my A-levels in her house while trotters were being slowcooked in black vinegar in her kitchen. The fragrance was utterly intoxicating.
Here's the meat course: (from left) Black and white pudding; simply cooked and flavoured chicken, and lamb (the last of which could have done with some spicing I think).
On the side were 2 kinds of aioli -- regular, and apple. The lighter, fruitier applie aioli was amazing with the chicken and the giant pork-and-beef meatballs below.
It seems Rachel went easy on us on the meatballs -- she says they're sometimes the size of footballs!
And now on to desserts. I wonder if the bunyols -- donuts -- are usually football sized as well. Even though these were quite petite, and ludicruously scrummy with their various lacings of lemon, amaretto and gin(!), by this time I was so full I could only nibble on these donuts for a taste.
I lied. I did find a way to finish my sopa d'avellanes amb el seu cruixent (hazelnut soup with hazelnut crocanti and ice-cream). Trust me, you would too.
And finally here's Melf looking sheepish because by now we're all in gluttonous pain but we STILL can't say no to turron (kinda like hazelnut-based compressed paste, as far as I can tell) served with coffee.
For £35 for the food and an extra £10 for the wine, I am completely bowled over by the sheer generosity of Rachel, Franz and Bea. If the blitz had restarted outside that night, I think we could have stayed holed up and fat and happy for about a week before we even noticed.
But given that it didn't, I wonder if this is one of those rare moments where there was indeed too much of a good thing -- we were fighting to just keep up with the food, and I felt like my attention was too scattered to really give each dish the attention it deserved.
It'll be interesting to see how the approach evolves for next time. Or at least, I'm hoping there's a next time. Rachel's tantalised me before with cooking paella in a wheelbarrow when the weather gets warmer. I'm definitely going to hold her to it. And I'm telling you so you can help me nudge her too!

MARION -- The Marion Junior High School boys basketball team found itself trailing Benton at halftime Tuesday night but went on a 14-0 run in the third quarter and beat the Junior Rangers, 38-29, to remain undefeated.
MJHS is now 10-0 overall.
Marion took the lead in the third quarter on a jumper by Devyn Wright, then Venson Newsom capped the big run with a pair of 3-pointers that gave the Wildcats a 29-17 advantage.
Benton cut the margin to 29-21 at the end of the period and got as close as 32-29 with 1:45 left, but Deavon Margrum put in a layup and Wright sank two free throws and an inside basket to push the lead back to the final margin.
Rayzhaun Bardo led the Wildcats with 12 points, seven of them coming in the second quarter. Wright added 10, while Newsom had six and both Isaiah McLorn and Margrum had four. Tariq Sanders also had a basket in the first quarter.
Marion won the seventh-grade game, 57-28. Jahmel Portee had 22 points, Benja Stone had 16 and Evan Noelle had 13.
MJHS plays Thursday at Harrisburg.

The retro silhouettes are ridiculously cool, yet sophisticated at the same time. Round-frame sunglasses are an easy way to work the alternative look, while cat-eye styles are really flattering on anyone. So opt for sunglasses from Valley for your next holiday, or to shield your eyes at Sunday brunch.

The music of Huron County is the focus of new documentary
Music runs through the veins of Huron County, it is everywhere, it inspires renowned festivals, concerts and musicians.
Deep Roots: The Music of Huron County is a documentary film that delves into the music of county through interviews with influential musicians, and by showcasing performances at some of the county's most significant musical events, like the Threshers Reunion, Goderich Celtic Roots Festival and the Brussels Fiddle Jamboree.
Deep Roots was funded through a federal government program called, "New Horizons for Seniors." It was the same program that funded the Huron County "Honouring Our Elders" project of 2013, which collected the histories of elders in the county on video.
The film was produced by the Huron Arts & Heritage Network, which approached local filmmakers, FauxPop Media, to form a partnership. HAHN and Huron County Cultural Services had worked with FauxPop on a previous video project in 2012 to create a series of Huron Heritage Moment videos. The videos featured a variety of historically significant events and people, like the founding of CKNX, Jennie Smillie, Canada's first female surgeon and the founding of Eatons retail empire.
HAHN was able to partner with Huron Business Development Corporation, Libro and Blyth 14/19 to offer five paid internship positions. Interns were a part of the crew, and gave them valuable experience.
Filmmaker, Mark Hussey, said the fact that students were involved in the making of the film didn't impact the overall quality of the documentary.
"Seeing them get out a do it. For them to see their name at the end of this, that their shot is in [the film]. That's rewarding itself," Hussey said.
For Hussey and fellow filmmaker, Randall Lobb, it's the process of making the film and not necessarily the final results that they enjoy the most.
"We've crafted something in spite of the challenges. It's a story that people are really going to enjoy," Hussey said.
Taking on the history of Huron County music and editing it down to 88 minutes might seem daunting to some, but Hussey and Lobb said it's about focus.
"We're zeroing in on a very specific type of music. We go back 100 years, what was the music like? The roots. Roots of music in the county," said Lobb. "It's music that is still prevalent. Like, if you go to, any Saturday night, to any little town, there might be a jamboree."
No one knows the value of music in Huron County better than Tom Melady. He is the organizer of "Tuesday Tunes", which is featured in the documentary. The weekly event started in 2001 in St. Columban before moving to the Seaforth Community Centre the next year.
About 25 to 40 musicians join together each Tuesday with whatever instruments show up; guitars, fiddles, pianos or voices. Melady is quick to point out that no matter the skill level, there is always a place for each musician.
"No matter what calibre of musician you are, you can play along. Each person has the opportunity to go to the microphone and play two songs," Melady said.
Most of the music heard at Tuesday Tunes is Country Western or old time fiddle music, what Melady calls "good old music." People come from all over to join the group because the nights have guaranteed people a few hours of playing their instruments.
Tuesday Tunes is featured in Deep Roots because, as Melady said, it's a unique gathering of musicians.
Filming was easy because the musicians are comfortable with themselves and their music, Melady said.
"They're comfortable within their skin and they just come there for the enjoyment. They don't want to be put on a pedestal, and I think that's what part of the success of Tuesday Tunes is," Melady said.
Deep Roots: The Music of Huron County will have its premiere screening on April 23 during the Livery Spring Fling Film Festival. The screening starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Park Theatre in Goderich, with a reception to follow at the Livery Theatre. Tickets are $12 and are available at the Park Theatre starting at 7 p.m. on the day of the premiere.

Shadows of Beldorn
Falling Rock
Falling Rock has two claims. It was the site of several mining disasters and to the east of falling rock the falling rock wine.
The town was once a mining community with a significant amount of dwarves living in it. The mines were a Iron producer for Chimorrow.
The mine has a sinister reputation. It was named the glory hole by the dwarves and humans who were the inhabitants of this town. The mine was an iron mine and the iron ore was of a fine grade. Processing equipment was built and was being smelted to be sent to various places. The miners discovered a new chamber about three layers down. This chamber was old, predating and had what appeared to be an idol within it. The miners backed out of the chamber, worried about what they had seen.
Two days later, a section of the mine collapsed, killing several miners. Many of those who survived say that they saw a shadowy shape somewhere about the collapsing section. Soon many of the dead miners relatives began to see their deceased members in what they thought were their dreams.
Next a smelter exploded, killing the guild dwarves who lived there. Again a shadowy figure was seen.
The ruling authority of the town called in for aid from the priest of Mystra and an Oracle to see if there was any solution to the mystery. The two had barely began their investigation when the Oracle was killed in an accident, the Oracles head was crushed by a support beam that came down and also killed two of the dwarves that were with him.
The cleric of Mystra then went insane and attacked several of the townspeople before being brought down. The final straw was an fire that spread through the town and destroyed most of the mining equipment
the towns population was about 1500 people. Now it is deserted.
There was a temple to Mystra and a temple to Dumathoin within the community.

text: I am female and 41. Since 2009 I have been having attacks of severe fatigue, nausea, severe heat intolerance and palpitations. After hearing that ' It's all in my head for two years' , One doctor decided to take an brain MRI and EEG and I was told I had cortical dysplasia and autonomic epilepsy. I have been on epilepsy drugs but my situation is not improving. I still have the seizures, can't function and feel terrible when it's over 25 C, I live in a hot country so this is a major problem for me, I have muscle spasms in my back, terrible back and hip pain and feel extremely tired every day. I can only go out for a few hours every day then have to rest. My orthopedist thinks I have chronic fatigue syndrome. The tiredness and heat intolerance I am going through is extreme and it's getting worse every year. I also get dizzy and nauseous when tired and find it difficult to speak when tired. I also get a tightening feeling on my left shoulder and weakness on the left side only when I am tired or exposed to heat etc. I haven't been feeling ok for three years and the epilepsy medicines are not working. I am sick of being told by people, you are ok, you look great etc when my life is hell and even showering, putting make up on and getting dressed finish me off every morning. I am going to a hospital for some investigations next week for a new EEG etc but after reading about severe heat intolerance I am wondering could my situation be connected with MS, has anyone else experienced epilepsy or autonomic seizures. please write to me if you have any suggestions, I am sick of going to doctors without any solution. Thanks

Why this is importantCrime rates provide a quick snapshot of the safety in communities. In addition to the effect on victims, crime rates may affect the degree to which individuals form social bonds and become involved in their communities. Perceptions of personal safety can affect community activity, neighborhood connections, stability in communities, and economic development. What the data showThis chart shows crime rates (Part I and II) comparison between Dakota County and Minnesota over the last ten years. In the seven-county metropolitan area, Carver, Scott and Dakota Counties have lower overall combined crime rates compared to the rest of the metro counties. Hennepin and Washington Counties have higher rates in 2013. Dakota County's crime rate is consistently below the statewide crime rate. This chart refers to the occurrence of crimes, not arrests, and is determined by the number of crimes reported and population estimates.In Dakota County, rates for serious felonies (Part I crimes) decreased (18%) over the last decade. Part II crime rates showed a continuous decrease (38%) in the last ten years as well. Please see Background Box for definitions. The Dakota County Attorney's Office tracks criminal charges of adults and juveniles in the County. In 2014, the total number of adults charged with felony offenses increased slightly by 1% (1,565 in 2013 compared to 1,545 in 2013). In 2012, the number of juvenile offenders charged with felony offenses decreased 30% (192 in 2011 compared to 134 in 2012). For more information, see County Attorney's Annual Crime Reports.
Perception of Safety The 2013 Dakota County Residential Survey reports that people generally feel safe in their communities. Nine out of ten residents responded that they felt safe from violent crimes, safe in their neighborhoods (90%), and safe from being injured while biking or walking on roads in the county (83%). Less than half of respondents said they felt safe from distracted drivers on County roads when traveling within the county.BackgroundPart I crimes include serious, generally violent felonies, including: homicide (murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and manslaughter), assault, offenses involving dangerous weapons, kidnapping, robbery, sex offenses, criminal vehicular homicide/injury and terroristic threats, burglary, theft, and arson. Any crime not included in the list of Part I crime is a Part II crime.Part II crimes are considered less serious and include vandalism, weapons violations, and drug and domestic abuse. The categories are part of the Uniform Crime Report classifications designated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

As a take home midterm in ME-84, we were challenged to make use of everything we had learned so far, along with a new set of 3D rendering tools in LabView, to create an avatar that could walk around a 3D world. The task was broken down into separate sections so that we could demonstrate what we'd learned about user interface, image processing, NXT input, and haptics.
Because I'm not actually taking the class for credit, I didn't worry too much about jumping through all the assessment hoops, and instead concentrated on making a game that I thought was pretty cool *and* covered all the important elements of the task in one program.
The game I ended up with was Pong in 2.5 Dimensions. This was intended to be Pong 3D, but it was pointed out to me that although the playing field is *rendered* in 3D, the movements of ball and paddles are limited to 2D, so it only counts for about 2.5D!
Here's how the game works...
- requires an NXT with motors attached to Ports A & B (and the NXT volume turned on!).
- it's a game for two players, Player 1 (red) and Player 2 (blue).
- each player's avatar (paddle) moves in a direction corresponding to where the webcam sees most of their colour (i.e. hold a red object to the left, and their paddle moves left).
- each player score a point when their opponent misses the ball
- first to five wins
- the angle of each players' view window can be adjusted by the corresponding motor.
The playing field is rendered in 3D, and the paddles are controlled by the position of red and blue balls in front of a web-cam. I programmed this as an assignment for ME-84, using LabView Education Edition. Thanks as always to Christoffer and Alex for demonstrating the game, and big thanks to Christoffer for producing the awesome video...
CraftBots (ME-84: Final project)
All good things and all that...
After a very stressful week of playing with breadboards, multimeters, wire strippers, drills, saws, and far too much solder for my liking... I was ready to present my craft-based robotics system to a group of first graders. The challenge, that we've been working on over the past two months, was to create a cheap educational robot. I came up with an idea that I called "CraftBots", where students would be able to make robots out of craft materials and then automate them in some way by incorporating electronic components (sensors, and actuators) that I provided.
The concept was that instead of having the students program using a computer, I would remove the computer entirely, and replace it with physical blocks that represent each programming action. Originally I had in mind a suite of blocks to represent AND, OR, and NOT. Sensors would plug into these blocks as inputs, and actuators as the outputs. The blocks could be combined in different ways to produce a wide range of logic-based behaviours. I quickly realised that this was going to be far more complex than necessary for a demonstration of the basic concept, so instead I settled on the production of blocks that would come in two "flavours".
Both types of blocks contain two AA batteries and some simple circuitry. They have one input, one output, an on/off switch, and a potentiometer to set the threshold of the input. In both blocks the output is either on or off depending on the value of the input. For one of the blocks, the output is on by default, in the other, the output is off by default.
The original prototype was made out of Lego and programmed on the NXT...
|From ME-84: Introduction to Robotics
In both the Lego-based prototype and the final version, I demonstrated a few different examples of the sorts of things that were possible. For example, a bed that shakes when the sun comes up, and a cake with candles (lights) that go out when you press a button, and a robot chicken with eyes that glow when it's patted or when it gets dark.

27 September 2016
Memoir on Eliot, by Brian Sewell, March 2015In the summer of 1962, walking the length of Bond Street on my way to Christie's where I then worked, I saw in the window of Mallett, dealers in fine furniture, a strange little painting of dry stalks, dead leaves and bursting seed pods, as magical as though Salvador Dalí had revised one of Georg Ehret's botanical studies, retaining an eighteenth century draughtsman's accuracy of observation, but adding an hallucinatory excitement that extended the image far beyond mere realism. It had the label of Arthur Jeffress on the back, a dealer noted for his eye, was called Mrs. Riley's Milkweed, was by Eliot Hodgkin, of whom, at that stage, I knew nothing, and was to be had for sixty guineas. Mallett could tell me nothing of Hodgkin, nor of Mrs. Riley, nor even of milkweed, but I did not care. I bought the painting and I have it still. That desiccated sow-thistle, that bursting brimstone-wort, proved an open sesame. I had had it for a year or so when, one high summer evening, Carlos van Hasselt, then newly late of the Fitzwilliam and just appointed to the Netherlands Institute in Paris, came to dinner, saw the milkweed, and asked if Eliot was a friend. I was in awe of Carlos, master of seven languages and deep-dyed art historian, whose expertise in my chosen field of old master drawings far exceeded anything that I might learn in a lifetime; that he knew Eliot told me at once that the man who had painted Mrs. Riley's Milkweed was no nonentity, no country cottage bumpkin with a delicate touch. With a telephone call and a taxi I found myself whisked into the presence of a painter whose Chelsea flat was a treasury of marvellous paintings by Corot and Delacroix, and of drawings by the ilk of Ingres, Degas, Fragonard and Liotard that made me ill with envy. There was not the slightest hint of grandeur about these small masterpieces – they were a cherished part of Eliot's domestic scene, part of his daily life and nourishment, reticent and intimate in scale, some standing in their own right as finished works of art, others perfect art historical documents that added to our perceptions of some greater work elsewhere, and that were in turn informed by awareness of those works. My fumbling and confused instincts as a magpie acquirer of scraps immediately recognised that this collection was the work of a clear eye and disciplined passion.Not a Hodgkin painting was to be seen in this brilliant company, for Eliot was a man of modesty and claimed no place with older masters, but at last he was persuaded to open the doors of the cupboard that was his studio and show me the tiny pictures of fruit, flowers, eggs and feathers that he painted with such delight and diligence. Enchanted by two paintings of kohlrabis, purplish pink and acid green, gentled by a ground of greyish marble, I bought both. He chuckled, and told me that I had, in fact, bought one picture – he had painted five kohlrabis in a row, and when no-one bought the long narrow frieze he had sawn it in two. In time I added parsnips, turnips, lemons and a lime, the lichened tombs of churchyards and a view in Switzerland; by a stroke of luck I found large early oil paintings that Eliot thought lost, one of which, a gaudy thing of a Christmas tree, he wished had stayed so. He thought me mad to buy so many, but they gave me a direct and simple pleasure that has never diminished.

Convention Bureau Packages Course For 8th Graders
Written by Catherine Lackner on December 7, 2000
By Catherine Lackner
In what's being billed as a one-of-a-kind effort, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau and Miami-Dade County Public Schools have collaborated in a curriculum program to recruit and prepare students for tourism jobs.
The video presentation, "Careers in the Visitor Industry," and the accompanying Visitor Industry Resource Guide target middle school students and their teachers, said William Talbert, bureau president and CEO.
"Middle school kids are beginning to make career decisions, and this campaign talks directly to them, showing them real people making real money," he said.
Mr. Talbert concedes many students may not seriously consider the visitor industry when reviewing career options. "We're working against high tech and other industry segments who are also seeking employees."
The campaign showcases seven visitor industry segments: the cruise lines, airlines, attractions, ground transportation, food and beverage operations, meeting venues and hotels.
"The visitor industry is our No. 1 employer. We have more than 6,500 full-time jobs in our new hotels alone in Greater Miami and that's just the hotels," Mr. Talbert said. "We need an educated, interested, service-oriented workforce that will make our guests more likely to return."
A highly trained workforce, he said, is also a plus in recruiting new tourist venues and other businesses to the area.
Produced at a cost of about $25,000, the program is projected to reach more than 80,000 middle school students. It requires written class work in addition to students viewing the video component and may be chosen as an elective subject.
"This is going to have a pretty direct impact," Mr. Talbert said. "It's the first time in the entire country, as far as I know, where we're going to kids and telling them, 'These are good jobs with good upward mobility. They pay good money and the industry wants you.' We're excited about this."
The convention bureau's communications and community relations committees were intensely involved in the program, Mr. Talbert said.
T. Willard "Tal" Fair, executive director of the Urban League of Greater Miami, "has really championed this program," Mr. Talbert said, as a way to get minority students involved in the visitor industry.
"Tal really had the fire in the belly for this project. We could not have pulled this off without a full vigorous partnership with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The payoff, we believe, is going to be better employees in our industry and that, in turn, supports more jobs."Details: (305) 539-3040.

So I got around to installing my UUC underdrive pulleys last night. 2hr job! And that's because I had a hard time figuring out how to put back the A/C belt - even though I took pictures before! My fault! Definitely a DIY job. Thanks Bruno - gave him a late night call 'cause I got stuck at one point - sorry for waking you up!
Used ramps instead of axle stands. Felt safer and it wasn't wobbly working on the car as stands can sometimes feel.
Replaced the power steering and water-pump pulley plus new A/C and P/S,W/P,Alt belt. New belt is slightly longer for obvious reasons of the pulleys being slightly larger diameters.
I know there are already a few write-ups on how to do it so I won't add another one.
I already had the fan-delete mod done a couple of weeks ago, so access to the area was much easier without the fan being there. I would recommend removing the fan-shroud and rad frame (if possible), cause that's where I kept cutting up my arms!
Hardest part of the job was putting back the last belt- A/C. You do have to wiggle and force it back on the pulley while reefing on the tensioner (best done with something long that can add leverage). 2nd set of hands is priceless here!
Initial impressions? Stiffer steering! Can't miss that. And I love it. Since I didn't do a pre and post dyno. I can't determine any hp gains. But....it does seem to rev more freely/quicker - key word SEEM. That's all I can tell for now.
I'll do a few test runs soon and report back. BUT.....I just happened to get hold of a Beltronics FX1 Accelerometer that I'm testing out for work. So I did get a chance to do a few base runs prior to the pulleys. Best run to 60mph was 6.4s - done with full tank of gas and tons of crap in my car and w/my winter tires on. Also got LOTS of wheelspin off the line on that 6.4s run. So I know there's room for improvement. Just hope I see it!!!
Now...someone buy my VDP (VPD?) pulleys please!!!! for an M50, 325.
hey, sunday when we meet up can u bring ur "Beltronics FX1 Accelerometer" so i can test it on my car

Semi-subsistence farms in Europe: a remnant from the past or a provider of public goods and a cultural asset?
Dr. Sophia Davidova (Reader in European Agricultural Policy & Director of Graduate Studies, University of Kent)
|CA113, J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics, NUI Galway
|11:00 :: 14th May 2010
Presentation Description:
The stock of full-time farmers has been declining over decades in Western Europe. This will be a growing phenomenon in Eastern Europe. Semi-subsistence farms become part-time with income supplements from off-farm and alternative on-farm sources. Farms and farming is thus declining as a provider of food. What then is the future role of these farms in the larger social and economic picture? Farms do have attributes beyond the provision of food in being a public good on the one hand and a cultural asset on the other, which can contribute to social wellbeing. Dr. Davidova scans the European farming horizon and explores this expanding role of farms and farming and in particular subsistence farming and what it means for rural communities and rural livelihoods.
Dr. Sophia Davidova is Reader in European Agricultural Policy and Director of Graduate Studies the University of Kent. She has participated in a range of international research projects, and since 1989 she has been involved in advisory work to government agencies in Central and Eastern European countries, and to OECD, the European Commission and the World Bank. From 1991 to 2001 she was a member of the OECD group of experts monitoring agricultural and trade policies in non-OECD Member countries and participated in the European Commission Network of Independent Experts advising on agricultural policies in the EU Candidate countries. During 2004-2006 Dr. Davidova was a member of the editorial advisory board of Agricultural Economics, the journal of the International Association of Agricultural Economists. Currently she is a member of the Steering Committee of 'EuroChoices' and the Editorial Committee of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, a journal of the Romanian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Davidova is also Director of the Centre for European Agri-environmental Studies (CEAS) and a member of the Executive Board of the UK Agricultural Economics Society.

Last Day of School!
I know, not exactly the happy pictures you might have been expecting. Today was Emma's last day of Kindergarten and to say that she is going to miss her Kindergarten teacher is an understatement. As we got out of the van tonight Emma began to sob. I thought she had hurt herself, that is how badly she was crying. I went over to her, picked her up, and asked what was wrong. This is the point where my heart broke. Emma told me she was sad because she wasn't going to see Mrs. B again. Apparently it had just hit her that she was now a first grader and that she would no longer be in her Kindergarten class. I haven't read in any parenting book quite how to deal with a sad six year old who misses her Kindergarten teacher. She did eventually calm down when I asked her to show me all the cool stuff she brought home in her summer fun bag. Diversion, that is was worked for me this time. Maybe next time will require ice cream?! Thank you Mrs. B for making such an impact on this precious six year old. You are a wonderful teacher! We will miss you.

What began in 2004 as a means of conveying contemporary uses and applications of animism and shamanism through addressing concerns in my readers' lives has become an open dialogue with souls. We don't need advice from others, and Intentional Insights offers readers the opportunity to reconnect with innate insight to find personal life purpose. We know when something rings true in our lives and when it doesn't, even if we don't know how to proceed in that truth. At these crossroads, it is not useful to give away power by being told what to do, but to learn from within ourselves what our options are and how fully supported we are by the Universe in moving ahead. Giving intuitive insight taps into that shared knowledge, activating it in our everyday life. Instead of craving advice from a perception of lack, we can seek insight into choices from a place of empowerment.
My personal path is animism, expressed through shamanism, and I've worked with others as a practicing shaman since 1998. I don't tell you what to do. I can't heal you, I can't fix the things in your life that cause you pain. As a facilitator of diverse levels of awareness, I can help you access your own insight into the choices before you. I can speak with your spirit guides and soul aspects of yourself to help you recreate yourself and your life as you want it to be. If you would like to learn to do those for yourself, I can teach you.
Intentional Insights offers an opportunity to look inside yourself, and the mysteries of the world around you. Through columns such as The Weekly Rune and Life Betwixt, gain insight into the signals and dialogue through All Things. Submit questions about spiritual healing, dreams, paranormal experiences and modern shamanism at kelley at soulintentarts dot com, and get responses with integrity and compassion. Q&A submissions are free. All submitted content is property of S. Kelley Harrell. Please review the Terms of Service.
Contact me to schedule a full-length Soul Reading.
This site provides insight as suggestions for direction and growth. Readers are solely responsible for how they choose to move forward with this information. Some states require the statement that such services are for entertainment purposes only.

About Teleconnect Inc.
Teleconnect Inc., through its subsidiaries, engages in the manufacturing and leasing of electronic age validation equipment, the performance of age validation transactions remotely, the performance of market surveys, and the broadcasting of in-store commercial messages using the age validation equipment in between age checks.
Products and Services
The companys system (Ageviewers) is designed to check ages remotely. Using a special terminal at its customers checkout and a secure Internet connection, during transactions involving products with a minimum legal age limit, a brief video connection is created between the terminal and an external age-verification center of it. At this center, specially trained verification personnel perform the actual age verification based on the incoming images of customers buying alcohol or tobacco. Also, the system provides for the exact age to be determined based on photo identification.
The operators of the external age-verification center are not in direct contact with the person being assessed. If a terminal is not in use (before or after age verification), the system can display specific advertising material, geared to the products being scanned at that moment, if desired. The terminals are also suitable for brief market surveys. It has developed an in-store camera-security system which is being piloted in the Netherlands. The customers terminals are linked with its database server every few seconds; such that background tests are continuously performed to confirm that the technology is available.
The company is focused primarily on retail trade. In the Netherlands approximately 7,500 liquor stores and supermarkets conclude approximately 350 million age-restricted transactions per annum.

SWOT Analysis
SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.
Enhanced SWOT Analysis
Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:
- How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
- How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?
Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.
PESTEL Analysis
PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.
Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.
Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:
- Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations' impact on the business?
- Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence's degree?
- Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business's products and operations?
- Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
- Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
- Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?
IFE, EFE, IE Matrices
The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business's functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.
The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.
The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.
Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.
Porter Five Forces Analysis
The Porter's five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:
- What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
- Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
- What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
- How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
- How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?
VRIO Analysis
VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company's resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:
- Tangible resources
- Financial
- Physical
- Technological
- Organizational
- Intangible resources
- Human
- Innovation and Creativity
- Reputation
- Organizational capabilities
The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company's competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:
- Valuable?
- Rare?
- Costly to imitate?
- Organized properly?

The "Ridiculousness" talking heads don't have have a single poker face among them (exactly how many times has Chanel caught flies with her wide-open giggle?), but even their cries of laughter were one-upped by last night's "Screamers" reel. Rob Dyrdek, special guest Carmen Electra and the rest of the red couch crew sought out to honor the world's greatest screechers, and the result was nothing short of a cacophony. Grab your ear plugs and let's proceed...
From a child who sees something horrific he probably shouldn't have (IT'S NOT SAMARA, IS IT?!), to an amusement park patron who could've used an extra second before being launched into the stratosphere, the people featured in the chill-inducing segment certainly aren't known for being stoic. "He screamed like a biotch!" Electra observes of one officer who squeals an octave higher than usual, after being zapped by a stun gun during a demonstration. Hey: We can't say we wouldn't to the same. How 'bout a little sensitivity, C?
Stick your fingers in your ears, check out all the madness below and tune in to an all-new "Ridiculousness" next Thursday at 10/9c!

Me 39 He 30
(click on photos to enlarge)
We had heavy rain all weekend (luckily after we had been up the allotment very early Saturday morning.
Today we made another visit to tackle
The Comfrey plants. With all the rain this year they are shoulder height!
We have just finished the last of last years old potatoes.
I mashed the old spuds that were left a few months ago,
and put them into containers and popped them into the freezer.
Instant toppings for Shepherds Pie or Fish Pie, Bubble and squeak
and so much more! We were unwilling to buy some supermarket potatoes,
before ours are ready to dig up! It was then I had a Eureka moment!
Last year I covered up the big bed at the other end of my plot.
Mr Lottie was too ill, and I didn't have the time or energy to work on it.
I noticed a few weeks ago that the heavy covering had a couple of bulges in it!
So I made a cut and found evidence of a little bit of potato foliage which grew bigger
over the weeks.
I persuaded Mr L to investigate which he did so reluctantly
Underneath the plastic clean and dry, not even needing to be dug up
Were two varieties of potatoes
Some big 'jacket' potatoes. By the time we eat these
this years crop will be ready to start digging up!
I was cutting and composting the comfrey
I am so pleased with the end result - I even mowed the lawn path!
And, and, and, at 6am this morning I did my 3.5 mile walk and did the same walk in reverse tonight! Anything to get away from the neighbours howling hound!
Have a good week everyone.

In a way, yes. However, I have noticed instances where kick shields used to drill roundhouse kicks turn a so-so martial artist into a CRAP martial artist. Not that the kick was any less fast or any less powerful.
The problem is that the kick shield is held outside the visual frame of the body. So the poor student is kicking at an area not central to the objective -- that is to kick onto the human body. All the training aid was good for was to drill a powerful kick on a flat pad held 30 cm away from the body. Why do you think success would falter? Both the eyes and the weapon are calibrated off the main target!
It is up to the instructor to mix and match the use of training aids and kicking onto the body proper (with guard up and guard down) -- this in turn will help students learn how to fully maximise the versatility of taekwondo's kicks.
To think that all kicks are only successful at full extension and maximal range is to cheat yourself of the real tactical advantage of developing accurate and pragmatic kicks.

Summer Movie Showdown: "Finding Nemo 3D" Review
on 2013-05-07 16:14
Summer Movie Showdown: "Finding Nemo 3D" Review
-- Rating: G
Length: 100 minutes
Release Date: September 14, 2012
Directed by: Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich
Genre: Sci-Fi/Adventure/Comedy
When Disney began releasing some of its classic films in 3D to coincide with the films' return from the Disney Vault, it stood to reason that there would be at least one Pixar release planned.With the tenth anniversary of "Finding Nemo" conveniently falling within the 3D release timeframe, it made perfect sense for it to be the first 3D Pixar conversion.
Since this was a rerelease, the underlying film remained largely untouched. There were no added scenes or plot changes to be found, though a few small errors that made it into the original film were touched up during the conversion process. The story and characters are still as endearing as they were when the film was first released, so the real question is whether the 3D conversion adds to or takes away from the "Finding Nemo" experience.
Watching the movie, you're immediately reminded of what made the film so enjoyable in the first place. It's a tale of a family and the lengths that one would go to keep that family together. Depending on your age, it's easy to relate either to Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) or Nemo (voiced by Alexander Gould); one is the parent watching in fear as his child tries to make his way in the world, and the other is a child struggling to enjoy the world around him. Marlin's overprotective nature clashes with Nemo's desire to go to school and be just like all of the other children, and you can almost feel Marlin's heart break when he finally lets Nemo go.
The remainder of the film is split between Marlin trying to find his way to Nemo with the help of Dory (voiced memorably by Ellen DeGeneres) and Nemo trying to find a way to escape an aquarium with the help of a few new friends. Marlin and Dory outwit sharks, navigate a jellyfish maze, and learn to take it easy with the help of some current-riding sea turtles, all while Nemo learns to have faith in himself and confront his fears and weaknesses. By the time the family is reunited (and grows larger with the addition of Dory), the characters have learned that sometimes there are things that you've got to do even though you're afraid.
Fortunately, the 3D experience doesn't diminish the impact of the film at all. Unlike some quick 3D conversions that leave movies dark and looking like so many cardboard cutouts, the 3D conversion for "Finding Nemo" was done with all of the reverence the film deserves. More importantly, since the movie was created digitally using CG software, the animators were able to go in and directly convert the source files to 3D. This hands-on conversion allowed them to determine how much depth different objects in the movie would have, thereby creating a realistic 3D effect that completely eliminated the cardboard look of some conversions. The end result shows that a lot of care was put in to making sure that the movie looked just as good, if not better, than the original release.
Given how much empty space there is in the oceans of "Finding Nemo," the 3D effect actually adds quite a bit to the movie. By giving the characters and set pieces more depth than the seeminglyendless ocean background, it really pulls those elements forward and makes the ocean around them seem that much more realistic. Some scenes that were fairly breathtaking in the original release take on a whole new life in the conversion due to the way the animators used the differences in depth, especially scenes such as the minefield, the jellyfish forest, and the voyage with the turtles. Even the more subtle scenes seemed to take on a new life with the addition of 3D, making small details more noticeable without relying on the in-your-face tactics that some companies use when doing 3D conversions.
While it isn't possible to say that 3D is the definitive way to watch "Finding Nemo," the 3D effect really does add a lot to the movie. It remains a Disney/Pixar classic either way, but if you really want to have an immersive experience, then the 3D version is definitely worth a shot. It's a much better 3D conversion than many contemporary releases, and the ocean setting and the way the animators played with depth makes it an even better experience than previous Disney conversions.

No really, they are. Good thing I'm not freaked out by them...seriously.
So I did my first Lupron shot on Saturday and really, it was no big deal at all. Of course the needle is pretty small.
So, I really think I'm going to survive.
Nothing else new on the surro front--just doing the meds and counting down to transfer!

Looks like after reading a two or three articles about writing, I've decided to continue to write on this blog. Before this I had decided to close it down as I don't know what the hell I wrote it here. Mostly I wrote things that just popup out of my mind and emotion. That was not a good sign of writing though.
Anyway, I need to start to write to level 1 again. I want to become a baby who is learning how to write properly. Well, I can crawl but until when I will start walking? I don't to crawl in my whole life in this hectic arena. Writing is a must for me if I want to achieve what I have dreamed about since I was a child – successful writer.
Oh well, I need to start put some oil on my gears especially my head and hand. Both of them need to be clear. My mind need to guide my hand what to write while my hand need to guide my mind the beauty and easy of writing on the keyboard.
Actually it is hard to write without the guidance of something like a draft of what to write. Like now. I write bluntly thinking what to relate to the title written by me. I might lead me to a good article, but it will not always be like that. Most of the time the writer's block will haunted me more than what I might get.
I'm thinking about to make a rough draft every time I want to write something on this blog. I can make a simple mind map. At least that can train my mind to think more creatively rather than stuck with one idea and don't know how to expand it.
Eventually, I need to produce ideas from what I have rather than what I don't have. That is what the best of me I can get.
