text: I'm planning a long trip across Asia from September onwards and am thinking of recording sections of he experience onto video. I need a format that isn't too heavy, relatively inexpensive and that can be stored (on tape maybe) before i return with a huge editing task on my hands. Which format best suits my situation? I will probably need to store quite a lot of stuff so that should probably be a consideration too. I would like something of digital quality though obviously am open to suggestions. Apologies for my ignorance and lack of knowledege but we all have to start somewhere don't we? Thanks in advance....mister_richard

No one said anything. The sun peaked through the clouds.
"Do you think the heat will slow them down?" asked the man by the window.
"Slow who down?"
"The beaters, of course."
"I think so," answered the barber. "The heat tends to make people tired. The sun wears everything out."
Another man entered the barber shop. The bell on the door gave a slight jingle.
"I work by appointment only," said the barber.
"But I need a haircut," answered the man, "I can wait."
The man by the window laughed. "There's a place down the street that needs the business. Go there."
The man quietly left.
"Have you guys read the paper today?" asked the man getting his hair thinned in the back.
"A little," they both answered.
With this, the man drinking coffee gathered his belongings and wished them both good night. He stepped out the door and turned in the direction of the beating even though his destination was the other way. He approached them from the left and stopped to ask for directions to the nearest diner. The beatee, now covered in blood, raised his head and pointed in the direction of Hastings, a well known diner.
"I'm actually looking for something a little more classy, if you know what I mean."
They all stopped again. The beatee couldn't raise his head. One of the beaters offered, "Two block's further is Trent's. Good fish."
"Thank you. " The man finished his coffee and walked up the road.

I have always had a very sensitive stomach ( bad heartburn, reflux, and cannot take asprin as they make my stomach bleed) and it seems to be a weekness in my family(my father had a stomach ulcur for years and eventually died of cancer of the stomach ) many of my siblings and their children have problems too. I hope there is an alternative to the amitriptyline as i really dont want to go back to sleepless nights and unimaginable pain.

Let the Aloha spirit welcome you the shores of the beautiful Waikiki Gateway Hotel. You'll feel it the moment you enter our renovated lobby and you're greeted by our personable staff, warm and friendly lodging professionals who are dedicated to making your visit comfortable and memorable. The inviting atmosphere continues once you enter your well-appointed accommodation, which will charm you with an array of amenities along with calming ocean vistas. And, unlike most hotels in the area, our boutique Honolulu, Hawaii property is not blocked by other buildings. There's a beautiful palm tree-rich park that envelops us and many guests are treated to views of its verdant splendor.
Our larger than average sized rooms allow us to offer our guests with two queen beds in most room types. We offer "Real Hardwood Flooring" (american walnut) in every room so our guests can experience a "Genuine Island Experience." We also added brand new embassy carpets in our design to allow for comfort and flexibility. Every room is decorated with art from one of the most recognized artist from Hawaii dating back to 1900s, english painter Charles Bartlett. They are framed in real wood finished in white washed or natural stain. Recently refreshed, our rooms provide a bright and comfortable Island beach house experience. Our hotel sitting alone on the block allows three-quarters of our rooms to offer unobstructed views of the Ocean, Parks, and Waikiki in wonderful panorama display. All rooms have 48-inch (or larger) flat screen TV with more than 79 HD channels. We have one of the best Wifi infrastructure in Waikiki with over 200mb of bandwidth connection to the Hotel.
"Redefined, Revitalized, and Refreshed" The Waikiki Gateway is excited to announce that we have completed phase I of our remodeling project. A central location at the entrance of fashionable Waikiki on Kalakaua Avenue is another reason travelers find us an appealing place to stay. It is one of just 17 hotels in Waikiki proper that resides on the prestigious Kalakaua Avenue. We're within a few blocks of stores galore, a wealth of restaurants, and oodles of entertainment options. What's more, we're a short drive from both downtown Honolulu and Honolulu International Airport.
We are consistently striving to improve our product to provide more comfort for our guests. Few product improvements include our remodeled facilities, fitness center, breakfast buffet, wooden floor /carpet replacement and remodeled rooms.
Our aim is to provide memorable experience filled with Love & Aloha to all of our valued guests. Hawaii is blessed with beautiful scenary, ocean, mountains but we believe its greatest asset is its Culture and the Aloha Spirit. Our goal is to share this culture of hospitality to our guests, and perpetuate the goodwill grounded in Love.
Many of Oahu's most popular attractions are located outside the city. Hanauma Bay, a world-renown snorkeling destination, is a short drive from Waikiki, just past Hawaii Kai. Sea Life Park is not far from Hanauma Bay. The Polynesian Cultural Center, a unique and perennially popular attraction, is located in Laʻie, more than an hour's drive from Honolulu. Kualoa Ranch, near Kaneohe, Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park, near Kapolei, and the Arizona Memorial, the biggest visitor draw in the state, are all outside the city of Honolulu.
Dining on Oahu is as diverse as its melting pot of ethnicities. Waikiki restaurants feature everything from savory Pacific Rim fare to your favorite national restaurants. After the sun melts into the Pacific, the stars come out, and the Oahu nightlife comes to life! It's really all about the Honolulu nightlife & Waikiki for the most part.

so, i know that i'm a little late, but i wanted to post a few halloween pictures....
superadam to the rescue!
i bought elliot a superman costume, but when i put it on him, he was NOT having it AT ALL! so, instead, he donned adam's army hat, a toy gun, and some camo shoes, and that became his costume. hey, it's better than nothin! here he is trick-or-treating at adam's grandparent's house.
i like this one. although...adam isn't what i would call a "willing subject"
lucy decided to be daphne from scooby doo. when we got to adam's parent's house, and started to go trick-or-treating, lucy did NOT want to go. in fact, she made us turn around and go back. so i convinced her to go to only the houses owned by tumminaros. (there are 7 on the same street, and they're all next door to each other.) well, once lucy figured out that going to people's houses resulted in the receiving of candy and other related treats, she all of a sudden overcame her fears, and started running to the next house...
in front of adam's parent's house. he's just too cute to be tough!
lucy's main reason for wanting to be daphne for halloween, was because she really just wanted to wear a wig. unfortunately, we found out (a little to late) that this wig was a little too small. so, it was only able to rest on her head, and it didn't actually cover her own hair. but, she still looked cute.
we all had a fun time, and after some reverse psychology action, so did lucy! : )
hope everyone else had a happy halloween, too!!
Sunday, November 2

Degree in visual arts at the high School Art ERG Brussels
My artistics activities I followed courses in drawing and silkscreen art at the art school D'Ixelles and Etterbeek Constantin Meunier academy. I have already exhi bited paintings and drawings at toastgallery and Derapages gallery in Brussels. I worked as an illustrator for a creative agency Synergy Art in London.Then I immersed myself in painting from my illustrations on colored atmospheres. The universe of the city is my main source of inspiration. I love working on urban encounters. I use photography as a sketchbook and then compose a frame in my studio. The series of encounters resulting from this pictorial transposition. I chose the small size to facilitate combinations or a group presentation. ... (Read more)

You can access the notice of claim on Scribd: here.
The Supreme Court of British Columbia has issued a court order shutting the site down, which is why you get a blank screen if you try to go here: www.deepcapture.com
Stockwatch quotes the complaint quoting the website saying that Nazerali is affiliated with "an impressive number of securities traders who are also narco-traffickers (such as Paul Combs, until Combs was whacked by Nazerali's mobster friend Egor Chernov)" and that he has "working relationships with ... members of Al Qaeda's Golden Chain, the regime in Iran, Pakistan's ISI, the chief of Saudi intelligence, the ruler of Dubai, the royals of Abu Dhabi, La Cosa Nostra, the Russian Mafia, and others in the Milken network."
I first learned of this from Gary Weiss' blog. Weiss is especially interested in the (intimate) relationship between Deep Capture and Overstock,com, nowadays also known as O.co, and Overstock boss Patrick Byrne.
Regular readers of Pragmatism Refreshed might recall that to Byrne the phrase "the Milken network" in the above quotation has a special resonance. Ex-con Michael Milken, is one-half of the collective Sith Lord (the other half is Steven Cohen). This Sith Lord -- a term of course taken from the Star Wars movies -- is at the center of a vast worldwide web of corruption -- perhaps the web of corruption, since there hardly seems to be anything wrong with the world in recent decades that doesn't get introduced into Deep Capture's theories.
Anyway, Deep Capture has apparently assigned Nazerali a key role in this same awesome/awful network linking (as Weiss puts it) "every crime since Jack the Ripper."
Nazerali has named as defendants not only Deep Capture LLC and Byrne, but High Plains Investments LLC, GoDaddy Inc., (the site's registrar), NoZone Inc. (its host), Google Inc., Google's Canadian subsidiary, and Illinois resident Mark Mitchell.
Let's pause on Mitchell, described in the court filing as the principal author of the defamatory articles. This is the first time I've mentioned him on Pragmatism Refreshed. He was once the assistant managing editor of CJR Daily, a web outlet of the Columbia Journalism Review. During his tenure, the CJR was often accused of ... well ... just missing the point when it touched upon finance journalism. Missing various points. Among those making that case was Joseph Weisenthal of The Stalwart.
Under his watch, too, Gal Beckerman penned an incomprehensible complaint about a perfectly routine WSJ story about nervousness among some Berkshire Hathaway stockholders, and Mitchell came riding to the defense of that complaint, without in the process making it any more comprehensible.
By the end of Mitchell's time there the CJR Daily had essentially given up on tracking finance journalism. Yet he had the name and reputation that came from his time there and he was, excuse the expression, a big capture for Deep Capture, when he started writing for them, apparently some time in 2008.
I'm just trying to keep all the players straight here.
Meanwhile, a commenter on Weiss' blog suggests that "Mr. Nazerali took umbrage with journalist
It will be fascinating watching how this plays out in the courts of the Great White North.

Every day, countless numbers of people are injured because of other people's negligence. Whether it's a negligent driver that causes a car crash, or a company vehicle driver or an 18-wheeler trucker that is careless at the wheel.

Or maybe it's a poorly trained oilfield or refinery worker that causes a devastating oilfield, oil rig, or refinery explosion. Whatever it is, however you or a loved one were injured, rest assured The Patel Firm PLLC will provide detailed representation, from start to finish. 24/7/365, someone at the The Patel Firm PLLC is ready to take your call.

The Patel Firm PLLC takes pride in helping all injury victims, regardless of the nature of their matter. Below are a list of the firm's many injury practice areas:
Millions of people a year are injured in car crashes and motor vehicle collisions. Automobile accidents can cause life changing injuries in an instant. A car crash can cause herniated discs, spinal cord injuries, and serious neck and back pain. In more violent collisions, an auto wreck can cause broken bones, head and brain trauma, catastrophic injuries, and even death. Learn more about automobile accidents and car crashes here.
Accidents when riding a bicycle can cause devastating injuries that are almost always avoidable. Too often, a careless or negligent driver will strike a bicyclist, which can cause a host of different injuries. As more people choose to bike on the roadways, negligent and distracted drivers are more likely to cause an injury. In fact, from 2006 to 2015, there was a 6 percent increase in deaths resulting from a bicycle accident. That doesn't begin to account for the countless number of non-fatal injuries from bicycle accidents such as neck and back injuries, herniated discs, broken bones, and head or brain trauma. Here are quick tips on what to do if you are ever hit by a car when riding your bike.
Serious injuries deserve serious representation. A catastrophic injury like dismemberment, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, or permanent disability can leave injury victims and their loved ones scrambling to find normalcy again. Let us punish the party who hurt you. Contact us 24/7/365, we are ready to take your call.
Big companies put profits before people. On the roadways, company drivers and employees on company time are often distracted looking at emails or texting for work so they can make the next big sale. Whether it's a company car, company work truck, tractor-trailer, company van, or commercial bus, don't be taken advantage of. Instead, take advantage of them. Contact an injury attorney at The Patel Firm PLLC today.
Bitten by a dog? The Patel Firm PLLC is here to help. Don't let negligent owners and their violent dogs take advantage of you. Dog bites can lead to deep cuts and lacerations, hospital visits, broken bones, even catastrophic injury in some circumstances. If you or a loved one have been injured as result of a violent, dangerous, unruly dog, give The Patel Firm PLLC a call. 24/7/365, someone at The Patel Firm PLLC is waiting to take your call.
Thousands of people die from motorcycle accidents each year. Catastrophic injuries are all too common of an occurrence for motor enthusiasts and their loved ones. Careless, negligent drivers who aren't paying attention can cause mayhem for motorcycle riders who trying to enjoy a ride. Make sure you are taken care of after a motorcycle crash, contact us today. Learn more about motorcycle accidents here.
Oil Rig injuries, Oil Rig fires, Refinery explosions, and other Oilfield Accidents can cause serious injuries for unsuspecting workers. After a massive or catastrophic injury at an oilfield, on an oil rig, or at a refinery, don't be taken advantage of. It is common for these sorts of places not to follow safety protocol, causing dangerous conditions that can have devastating consequences. Learn more about Oil Rig injuries, Oil Rig fires, and Refinery accidents here.
Pedestrian accidents cause thousands of injuries a year. Cuts, bruises, broken bones, herniated discs, road rash, head trauma, are all commonplace. If you or a loved one suffered injuries after being hit by car while walking or hit by a car while jogging for example, the injuries can be serious, even catastrophic. Car crashes that involve pedestrians, regardless of whether it's a crash with a small passenger vehicle, a company vehicle, or a semi truck or 18-wheeler, deserve aggressive representation. Contact a lawyer at The Patel Firm PLLC to discuss your options today.
Negligent store owners that do not clean up spills, have slippery floors, or have defects at their place of business like broken tiles or uneven flooring create dangerous conditions that can cause a number of different injuries to unsuspecting customers. Whether you or a loved one has suffered a back injury such as herniated disc or a spinal cord injury, or a head injury like a concussion after slipping at a store or falling while shopping, make sure your rights are protected. Learn more about slips, falls, and related injuries here. Don't let big business take advantage of you after a slip and fall. Contact us today.
Involved in a crash with a big truck, or a crash with an 18-wheeler? Tractor trailers, semi trucks, dump trucks, and other commercial cargo vehicles routinely cause havoc on the roadways, resulting in hundreds and thousands of injuries a year. Big rig drivers and the truck companies that employ them only care about the bottom line. They would rather deliver the order quicker than make sure their tractor trailers don't have bald tires or weak brakes. Drivers would rather make that big commission instead making sure they've had enough sleep to operate an 18-wheeler, big rig, or other heavy duty vehicle safely. If you or a loved one have been injured by a negligent trucking company, contact us today for a free case evaluation as soon as you can.
The death of a loved one is tragic. When the death of a loved one could have been avoided, its unacceptable. Don't let negligence go unpunished. Make sure your rights are protected. If you have lost a loved one after an avoidable injury, contact The Patel Firm PLLC today.
If you or someone you care about has been injured, call The Patel Firm PLLC today. 24/7/365, we are always ready to speak with you. Serious injuries deserve serious representation. From Corpus Christi to San Antonio, Dallas, Waco, Houston, The Rio Grande Valley and beyond, The Patel Firm PLLC is here to help. Serious injuries deserve serious compensation.

all day I get messages that interrupt me that my email password is incorrect; however it is correct. If I put in the correct one, it says not reconized. I'm so tired of this. It is not in just one box. Sometimes two at a time. Sometimes roderunner, sumtimes aol, or others. I've called, it never gets corrected, how come? I usually ignore the message and cancel it and eventually it goes away and corrects. But later on it comes back. Meanwhile my email does receive and send far as I can tell.
I am sorry to hear you are having problems.
So that we understand. you are having problems with your email password?
You mentioned that you are having this issue with Roadrunner, AOL and sometimes
others? Do you use an email program that pulls them all into one place?
Our password would not have any bearing on AOL or other email providers.
Can you describe the issue in a bit more depth please?

To celebrate Christmas Day - like any good Jewish couple should - my wife and I were thinking about dinner at one of our favorite Chinese restaurants to go to go together: Spicy & Tasty in Flushing. I can get all the Szechuan food I love and my wife, who is a vegetarian, has enjoyed all the vegetable dishes she's gotten there.
As much as we've liked what we've had in past meals, I'm eager to explore other parts of the menu. Here's what we've had so far:
Cucumbers in sesame oil
Dry bean curd and celery
Cold sesame noodles
Dan dan noodles
Dumplings in red chili sauce
Main dishes:
Potato with green pepper
Dry sauteed string beans
Shrimp with green hot pepper in black bean sauce
Tea smoked duck
Spicy double cooked pork
Enhanced pork
Sliced beef and sliced lamb in fresh hot pepper
Any other menu suggestions, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian?

Harden: Rockets 'lackadaisical' in game two loss
James Harden bemoaned a lackadaisical performance by the Houston Rockets after the Utah Jazz squared their second-round playoff series on Wednesday.
Having eased to a 110-96 victory in game one, the Rockets were undone by an excellent shooting performance from the Jazz in game two at the Toyota Center.
Though Harden went for 32 points for the Rockets, Utah shot 51.8 per cent from the field and 46.9 per cent from three-point range.
Joe Ingles converted seven of his nine three-point attempts while Rudy Gobert (15 points, 14 rebounds) and star rookie Donovan Mitchell (17 points, 11 assists) each tallied double-doubles.
The series now moves to Utah, where the fifth-seeded Jazz will hope to move towards a stunning upset of the top-seeded Rockets after claiming three of their four victories in the previous series with the Oklahoma City Thunder on their home court.
For Harden, seen as the favourite to win the MVP award, rediscovering their intensity will be key to avoiding the same fate as the Thunder.
"They came out with some thrust in that first half," Harden said. "They made shots, but they were wide-open shots. We came out a little too lackadaisical.
Joe Ingles sinks #NBAPlayoffs franchise-record 7 triples (27 PTS) to help the @utahjazz even the series at 1! #TakeNote pic.twitter.com/PlncVDPRlM— NBA (@NBA) May 3, 2018
"We were just kind of going through the motions and whatnot. The end of the second quarter and third quarter we picked it up, but it's a pretty good team out there.
"If you give any team, especially in the postseason, that kind of confidence, it's pretty tough."
Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni concurred with Harden's assessment, adding: "We can correct our energy and we can correct the necessary focus that we need to have.
"You get lulled into sleep. You think this stuff's easy. It's not easy. This is the NBA. This is the [conference] semi-finals. We kind of got lulled into it, and we paid for it."
The Rockets led in the fourth quarter having erased a 19-point lead built by the Jazz in the second, and Utah coach Quin Snyder was impressed with the way his side kept their composure after letting that advantage slip.
"You know that they're going to come back, it's just a question of how far and how quickly, and I thought when they cut that gap, they not only made it a game but basically took control," Snyder said. "I think we could feel that.
"But at that point for our guys, to keep their focus on what we're trying to do says a lot about the team and how they function together that they didn't break at that point."

We Can Weaponize Fiction, But How Do We Monetize Truth?
Postmodernism has shown itself as a tool for art or annoyance in the hands of the Left. In the hands of the Right, these principles are a heavy rock, itching to be hurled at your head. Without any intent to contribute further to the new Red Scare that seems to have started in the US Press, we still need to open our eyes and ask what exactly is going on.

|Skies clear for Lao Cai airport project
The proposal to construct a $160-million airport in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai under a public-private partnership model has recently received the support of the Ministry of Transport.

The ministry (MoT) became the first government management agency to advocate the Lao Cai People's Committee as the authorised agent overseeing the project's implementation.
The MoT explained that development projects normally source capital from the central budget under the 2015 Law on State Budget, however, in light of present budget constraints, it is necessary to find other capital sources to help build the transport infrastructure. They therefore would like the local authorities to select investors to support the airport project.
"The MoT and relevant government agencies will support the Lao Cai People's Committee and ensure they follow current regulations," said Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Nhat.
In February, the Lao Cai People's Committee proposed that the project be implemented under the PPP format. In the meantime, they have requested that the government assign the provincial authority as the government agency handling the project. Essentially, this means that Lao Cai People's Committee will draw up the project proposal, select investors, and sign contracts, as regulated in governmental Decree No.15/2015/ND-CP.
Chairman of the Lao Cai People's Committee Dang Xuan Phong said that once approved, the proposal could help resolve the project's capital dilemma.
Lao Cai airport is designed to become a 4C standard airport for both civil and military use, able to receive A320, A321, and equivalent aircraft. Once completed, the airport will contain two aircraft parking spaces, and will have an annual capacity of 560,000 passengers and 600 tonnes of freight. By 2030, its capacity will increase to 1.58 million passengers and 2,880 tonnes of freight per year, and will include five parking spaces for aircraft.
In the future, Lao Cai airport will also encompass a specialised terminal on a 10,000 square metres space, with a designed capacity of 308 passengers/peak hour, increasing later to 634 passengers/peak hour.
The airport will also be able to handle flights to all domestic airports, as well as certain international airports, namely in Indonesia (Jakarta), Singapore, Malaysia, China (Kunming), and Laos (Vientiane).
Sun Group, a local leading property developer, was reported to be one of the first to file an investment proposal with the MoT and the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV).
"The early commitment of a big investor like Sun Group to the project shows that Lao Cai airport has great potential," said CAAV's deputy chief Dao Van Chuong.

When the Iowa State women's cross-country team takes the starting line early Saturday afternoon at the NCAA Championships, each Cyclone will have a particular responsibility.
When the Iowa State women's cross-country team takes the starting line early Saturday afternoon at the NCAA Championships, each Cyclone will have a particular responsibility.
Lead runner Crystal Nelson is to stay with the lead pack for as long as she can, the goal to challenge for the top 10 or 15. Perez Rotich and Katy Moen, ISU's three and four runners in the last meet, will follow a conservative race strategy set forth by coach Andrea Grove-McDonough. So too will fifth runner Samantha Bluske, whose personal agenda is to close the gap between herself and the Rotich-Moen duo.
As for freshman Bethanie Brown, who took third overall at last week's Midwest Regional, trailing champion Nelson by 12 seconds? Well, Grove-McDonough has given her advice, but a librarian's guess would be as good as the coach's in figuring out what may actually happen.
"Bethanie doesn't know how to chill," said Grove-McDonough, recalling how she told Brown to be patient at regionals. "She ran hard. God love her."
As ISU prepared to leave Wednesday morning for the first leg of its journey to Terre Haute, Ind., its bus was delayed. There was a silver lining to this, because Brown was her usual late arriving self, four cumbersome bags in tow for a trip that will take her home to Maine when nationals are over.
What can you say? Brown runs late and then fast.
"She's so competitive," Grove-McDonough said. "She looks at Crystal and constantly thinks, 'That's where I want to be, that's where I want to be.' I can think of no other word to describe her than she's very relentless. She just hates to lose. You got to have that … more than you love to win."
For a No. 7 ISU team that lacks the star pizzazz that NCAA individual champion Betsy Saina brought in 2012, there are several fulcrums with which this national championship race hinges on, in which the Cyclones could elevate themselves from an expected top-10 finish into something greater.
Brown's perhaps the most unexpected pivot point. A native of Waterville, Maine, Brown originally committed to run under Grove-McDonough at UConn. When the coach left for ISU last summer, Brown asked for, and received, her release from UConn, then followed to Ames.
"I just really thought that I could trust her with my training and I liked her attitude and enthusiasm, her determination," Brown said.
It's proved a beneficial decision for Brown. In taking fifth at the Big 12 championships, she helped the Cyclones to a team title. She followed by taking third in 20 minutes, 24 seconds at the Midwest regional at the ISU cross-country course on Nov. 15.
Now, Brown's sights are again set high for her final six kilometers of the season. When asked her race strategy, she responds, "Get out at a good pace," run with a few teammates and "then kind of see how we feel."
"Whatever happens at nationals, my season as a whole has been better than I could have expected coming in," Brown said. "I'm in a good place, where I can feel like whatever happens, this has been a great season."
It comes to a close Saturday, when the Cyclones look to amend for a disappointing finish in 2012. Favored to finish in the top three and perhaps contend for the team national title, ISU instead underperformed in taking 11th.
Since then, Grove-McDonough has instilled a culture that frets not over the results but what each individual can control, she's said. At the Lavern Gibson championship cross-country course Saturday, the Cyclones can't control how the other 30 teams run. There a few squads — such as top-ranked Providence and No. 2 Arizona — that ISU likely "can't beat, even on a great day," Grove-McDonough said.
Behind those, though, there's a "small margin across the board," and the Cyclones know they have the power to run their finest and give a fine season a worthwhile ending.
"For any number of reasons, it's been a very smooth transition," said Grove-McDonough, who was named the Big 12 coach of the year after ISU defended its conference title earlier this month. "For us to work our way from essentially the bottom of the rankings, the expectations were low maybe from people outside the program, maybe even from the athletes themselves.
"But what we've shown in year one is we can do a great job. We're a great team. We haven't missed a beat."

Acoustic resonance technology (ART) is an acoustic inspection technology developed by Det Norske Veritas over the past 20 years. ART exploits the phenomenon of half-wave resonance, whereby a suitably excited resonant target (such as a pipeline wall) exhibits longitudinal resonances at certain frequencies characteristic of the target's thickness. Knowing the speed of sound in the target material, the half-wave resonant frequencies can be used to calculate the target's thickness.
ART differs from traditional ultrasonic testing: although both are forms of nondestructive testing based on acoustics, ART generally uses lower frequencies and has a wider bandwidth. This has enabled its use in gaseous environments without a liquid couplant.
Det Norske Veritas has licensed the technology for use in on-shore water pipes worldwide to Breivoll Inspection Technologies AS. Breivoll has proven the efficiency of the technology in assessing the condition of metallic water pipes, both with and without coating. The company has since 2008 successfully developed a method to enter and inspect water mains, and is a world-leader in their market.[1]
ART has also been used in field tests[2] at Gassco's Kårstø facility.
In 2012 DNV's ART activities were spun out into a subsidiary HalfWave.
In a closely related technique, the presence of cracks in a solid structure can be detected by looking for differences in resonance frequency, bandwidth and resonance amplitude compared to a nominally identical but non-cracked structure. This technique, called RUV (Resonance Ultrasonic Vibrations), has been developed for use in the photovoltaics industry by a group of researchers from the University of South Florida, Ultrasonic Technologies Inc. (Florida, US), and Isofoton S.A. (Spain).[3] The method was able to detect mm-size cracks in as-cut and processed silicon wafers, as well as finished solar cells, with a total test time of under 2 seconds per wafer.

I had thought we had a pretty good game plan before arriving in Granada.
The Granada study abroad program is very popular with Spanish minors at UIUC, so both Julie and I had plenty of recommendations from our friends who have lived there. We had a full two days of sightseeing (and eating!) planned, but like most things during a study abroad semester things didn't go *quite* as planned.
The train ride from Madrid to Granada was over four hours long, so it was already in to the afternoon by the time we got to Granada. We checked in to our hotel and after realizing public transportation in Granada isn't really a thing, walked in to the center of town.
It wasn't hard to find the Catedral de Granada. As we walked around to the side of the cathedral we saw a small gathering of people lined up next to one of the doors (left). Being the curious travelers that we are, Julie and I decided to join the line. A few google searches later we realized it was Semana Santa!
Semana Santa is what the Spanish call Holy Week (last week of Lent, right before Easter). While Holy Week is obviously a big deal in most Catholic regions of the world, it's especially big in Andalucía, the southern most region of Spain where Granada is located!
There are 32 "fraternities" in Granada, and during Semana Santa each brotherhood processes through the streets of the city. Each brotherhood's procession features two "floats", one of Christ and one of the Virgin Mary. These floats are accompanied by women dressed in the traditional Spanish black lace, hooded cross-bearers (which is really freaky since they look like KKK costumes), and bands. That being said, each procession is unique. Each brotherhood decorates it's floats differently, takes different routes, and process at different times during the week.
Anyway, the crowd outside of the cathedral grew and 45 minutes later the doors opened and the procession began! Let me tell you, the processions are an absolute spectacle. I really wish I could figure out how to post the videos I took to this blog, but take my word for it and try to judge from the pictures how cool it was. The sheer number of people involved is amazing, especially when I realized the floats are literally carried on people's shoulders. No wonder everyone claps when they make a turn or maneuver a flight of stairs.
This was the first of many processions we saw during our couple of days in Granada. It meant the city was packed and a lot of times it took us a while to get places since the streets were blocked off, but the inconveniences of the crowds and detours were well worth it. Like I said, before arriving in Granada we had no idea Semana Santa was going on. We got incredibly lucky to be able to be a part of such a wonderful tradition, it made our experience in Granada very authentic and memorable.
We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around and getting a feel for the city. Keeping with the religious theme, we stopped by the Monasterio de San Jerónimo and the Basilica de San Jan de Dios, each known for their history and beauty.
That night we went Casa del Arte Flamenco to watch a flamenco show. Originally we had planned on going to a flamenco show in Madrid, but we had trouble booking a reservation (obviously very popular with tourists), so we decided to wait until Granada. Turns out this was a great decision, since flamenco originated in Andalucía!
The performance at Casa del Arte Flamenco was incredible. The venue was very cool since it was a small room like the original café cantantes, and the guitar player, singer, and male and female dancers were incredibly talented. It felt like a very authentic cultural experience, and I was absolutely blown away. There's something about Latin countries that always makes me want to sign up for dance classes…
The next morning we found ourselves waking up at the crack of dawn in order to see Granada's most famous landmark, the Alhambra. The number of people allowed to enter each day is limited and since we weren't able to buy tickets in advance we had to get up very very early to wait in line and make sure we got inside.
Luckily we did get inside, and we started at the Generalife, the palace and gardens that served as a sort of vacation spot for the Muslim royalty when they wanted to relax. It's a beautiful estate and was a very peaceful way for us to start the morning.
We then made our way to the Alhambra, a fortress/palace for rulers and government officials when the Muslims ruled Spain. There is a lot to see in the Alhambra, with all of the different palaces and towers and walls and such. Our scheduled time to enter the palaces wasn't until 2pm so we wandered around and enjoyed the view.
There was no way we were making it until our 2pm appointment without eating lunch so we walked down to the Carrera del Darro, one of Granada's oldest streets that runs along the river. We found a cute cafe nearby where we I got one of my favorite Spanish foods, pan con tomate, as well as a cappuccino and fresh squeezed orange juice.
From there it was back to the Alhambra for our turn inside the palaces. There are so many different rooms and courtyards and chambers it felt like a bit of a maze. Personally, my favorite was the Court of the Lions, but everything was absolutely gorgeous. Given the fact that the Alhambra and Generalife were built around the 1200s-1400s it's incredibly well preserved and a great reminder of the Moorish rule of Spain.
After that we walked back down to Albayzín, the old Moorish neighborhood. We slowly made our way up the picturesque (but also winding and narrow) streets to the Mirador de San Nicolas. From that vantage point there's a beautiful view of the Alhambra with the Sierra Nevada in the background. This is definitely the postcard shot.
Once again we were getting hungry so we walked back into the center of the city and got gelato from a place called Los Italianos. Since I live in Italy I was pretty skeptical of getting Spanish gelato, but Kristen recommended it and when Kristen Cantieri tells you to do something you do it. Also the casata that I ordered came in wedge form, so I figured it was different enough that I was cheating on my host country. As usual, Kristen came in clutch and the gelato was A+
The rest of our time in Granada was spent eating and walking. Granada is such a cute, quaint city we really enjoyed strolling the streets and stumbling upon procession after procession of the Semana Santa festivities. The city is pretty small compared to the other places we've visited so even though it seems like we walked a lot it was definitely manageable.
That night we had some fantastic paella for dinner (oh Spanish food how I miss you), and the next morning we actually slept in for the first time in what felt like forever. We had a long, relaxing lunch outside in the beautiful Spanish weather before heading to the Granada airport.
Being the good, safe travelers that we are, Julie and I showed up at the airport 2 hours before our flight which ended up being completely unnecessary. The Granada airport only has a couple of flights to Madrid and Barcelona (yep, that's it) each day so it was empty when we arrived. So while that part of our trip home to Milan was relaxed, our connection in Madrid was the opposite. The Madrid-Barajas airport is GIGANTIC, especially compared to the usual airports our budget airlines fly us to, so we were a little stressed as we ran across the airport to catch our flight.
Thus concludes Part 1 of my three week Spring Break. After being gone traveling for over a week, it felt great to get back to Milan. That being said, I loved Berlin and I loved Spain so I was excited by the prospect of falling in love with even more places in the coming weeks!

Note: this is a guest article by John Sifferman, author of The Pull-up Solution.
Pull-ups and chin-ups are some of the best exercises for building strength throughout your whole upper body. They also happen to be some of the most effective muscle builders for your back. Ask any bodybuilder or physique athlete, and they'll tell you pull-ups are a main-stay in their back training because no other exercise builds a better back than pull-ups, chin-ups, and their many variations. Plus, they can do wonders for your arms, shoulders, and abs, too. Of course, there are other exercises you should prioritize for your back development. But if you want to bring out the best in your back and upper body muscles, you'll want to get really good at pull-ups and chin-ups.
Now, this is easier said than done because pull-ups are a very difficult exercise for most people. So, you've got to be smart about training them or else you end up injured or getting nowhere. The solution is smart training. So, in this article, you'll learn some of the best strategies to increase your pull-up numbers and use them to build a beautiful, powerful back.
How to do More Pull-ups (Top 2 Strategies)
First things first, you need to be able to do pull-ups to benefit from them. And many people, even experienced fitness athletes and enthusiasts, cannot do a single one. So, here are a couple of the fastest ways to increase your pull-up reps, regardless of how many you can or can't do.
1) Grease the Groove Method
Greasing the groove is the single most effective method for rapidly increasing your pull-up strength and performance, regardless of your conditioning level (e.g. whether you can do zero reps or 20 reps).
Here's how to do it: Several days per week, do several sets of pull-ups throughout the day. All sets should be performed with proper form at a sub-maximal intensity – and stopped well before muscle failure. Also, make it a point to do a few more reps each day, if possible, over the course of your GTG cycle so that your total training volume is increasing.
For best results, grease the groove for 3-6 weeks.
Note: you can Click Here for detailed instructions on Grease the Groove Training for Pull-ups.
2) Pull-up Ladder Workouts (AKA "Pyramids")
If greasing the groove isn't practical or possible for you, or if you'd just like to plug some pull-up training into your normal workouts, then pyramids would be a superb alternative.
Here's how to do it: After your warmup, start the pull up ladder by performing one repetition, and then rest for about 10 seconds or so. Then perform two reps (rest ≈ 20 seconds), perform three reps (rest ≈ 30 seconds), and so on and so forth until you max out and cannot complete the next step (e.g. your next set is supposed to be 6 reps, but you could only do 5). Rest as much as necessary between sets (10-15 seconds per repetition is a good rule of thumb). And then repeat the same process backwards to go back down the ladder.
Here's an example…
First set: 1 repetition
Second set: 2 reps
Third set: 3 reps
Fourth set: 4 reps
Fifth set: 5 reps (max)
Sixth set: 4 reps
Seventh set: 3 reps
Eighth set: 2 reps
Ninth set: 1 rep
This method will be very effective for building your pull-up numbers. Once you've performed your max effort set, some of the following sets will likely be max or near-max efforts, too.
Tip: Rest as much as necessary to complete the following set. When descending the ladder, if you can't hit your target repetitions during a particular set, feel free to perform assisted reps, negative reps, or another easier variation of the exercise to finish out the set.
Note: you can Click Here for detailed instructions on Pull-up Ladder Workouts.
Working Up To Your First Pull-up
If you can't do any pull-ups yet, use the following progressions to build up to them:
1. Dead Hangs – hang from the bar with elbows locked and shoulders packed for time
2. Flexed Arm Hangs – hold the top position of the pull-up exercise for time (i.e. with your chin over the bar)
3. Negative Reps – start in the top position and slowly lower yourself down to the bottom, deadhang position (i.e. only the eccentric portion of the exercise)
4. Assisted Pull-ups – support some of your weight with a resistance band, partner, or assisted pull-up machine to help you complete the reps.
Note: you can use these exercises during your grease the groove and/or ladder workouts.
Using Pull-ups To Build Muscle and Sculpt Your Upper Body
Incorporating pull-ups into your training will help you build muscle no matter what your level is, whether you can do two reps or twenty. And once you can do a handful of reps, it opens up some new possibilities to enhance your physique. So, here are some ways to use pull-ups to maximize your upper body development and bring out the best in your back, arms, shoulders, and core.
1) Make good use of variety.
To truly maximize the muscle building benefits you receive from pull-ups, you'll want to use them in a variety of ways.
a) You can vary your grip and hand placement to emphasize different areas of your muscles. For example, you can do pull-ups (i.e. with palms facing away from you), chin-ups (i.e. with palms facing toward you), or neutral-grip pull-ups (i.e. with palms facing each other on a set of parallel bars). You can also use a wider grip or narrower grip, which will stimulate the body in different ways.
b) You can vary your repetition speed (e.g. slow reps, fast reps, isometrics, etc.).
c) You can vary the number of reps you do per set (e.g. high rep sets using just bodyweight and/or assistance, or low rep sets using extra weight or an advanced pull-up exercise such as one-arm pull-ups).
d) You can vary what you're holding onto. For example, you can do your pull-ups on a straight bar, thick bar, towel wrapped around the bar, rope(s), rings, among other implements. Each tool provides unique benefits.
2) Use targeted exercises to emphasize certain areas.
Some pull-up exercises are particularly good for building certain areas of your musculature. For example, standard pull-ups are generally best for your lats. Whereas, chin-ups are generally best for your biceps. Here are some more pull-up variations that will help bring out a certain area of your upper body musculature.
Note: these are very general descriptions since all pull-up exercises train the same muscle groups to varying degrees.
a) Wide grip pull-ups and chin-ups (i.e. great for increasing back width) – Grip the bar with your hands placed wider than shoulder width apart.
b) Close grip pull-ups and chin-ups (i.e. great for improving arms and upper back) – Grip the bar with your hands placed narrower than shoulder width apart.
c) Sternum pull-ups (AKA "perfect pull-ups" and "Gironda pull-ups", which are great for developing your lats and mid back) – When pulling up, arch your back so that you pull your sternum to the bar.
d) Side to side pull-ups (i.e. great for increasing the tension on the muscles and also for working up to one arm pull-ups) – From the deadhang position, pull yourself up towards one hand, emphasizing that side of your body as you pull. Alternate from side to side.
e) L-sit pull-ups and chin-ups (i.e. great for increasing the core challenge and building your abs) – Simply raise your knees or your legs out in front of you so that your hips are at a 90 degree angle (i.e. like you are "sitting" in the air). This is just like performing an isometric hanging knee raise or leg raise while doing pull-ups.
3) Put your
back whole body into it.
While the pull-up most certainly emphasizes the muscles of the back and arms (i.e. lats, biceps, forearms), when performed properly, it is a full body exercise. And when you train it this way, it kills two birds with one stone.
First, it ensures that you're maximizing your results from the exercise. In fact, some people notice an immediate improvement in their strength and performance (i.e. able to do more reps) once they tie everything together. And secondly, it ensures that you're minimizing the risk of injury, which is important regardless of who you are, but especially for those who are a little older or have more years of training experience.
So, here is a comprehensive tutorial on optimal pull-up technique. I guarantee you'll learn something new from this in-depth how-to video…
With these strategies, you'll be well on your way to increasing your pull-ups strength and building a powerful back. If you put these tips to work for you, you'll likely start to notice results within a couple of weeks. And you'll probably start to notice changes in the mirror within a month or two.
So, if you want to strengthen your arm, back, and core muscles, spread your wings (lats) to create that V-tapered back appearance, and increase your vertical pulling strength, put some of these ideas into action today and get on a good program ASAP.

Here's what you need to know about Replacement Insurance[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
Based on data compiled by the AMF*, you may pay more for replacement insurance purchased through a car dealer.
*Source: 2013 annual report on financial institutions This link will open in a new window (in French only)[/fusion_text][fusion_text]If you have bought a new car in the past few years, you may have heard about replacement insurance. You have the choice and the right as a consumer to explore your options.[/fusion_text][fusion_text]The AMF recently released this statement to help ensure consumers are treated fairly.
"Investigations and other work have led to the sanctions announced today regarding several automobile dealers and one damage insurance firm…" said Louis Morisset, President and CEO of the AMF. "The fair treatment of consumers is of concern to the AMF so we are giving them advice to help them make more informed decisions when they buy insurance products relating to the purchase or lease of an automobile," he added.
Please click here to read the full press release by the AMF.[/fusion_text][fusion_text]We also encourage you to also reference this document, released by the AMF which outlines some of the non-compliant practices regarding replacement insurance.[/fusion_text][fusion_accordion divider_line="" class="" id=""][fusion_toggle title="What does replacement (cost) insurance do for you?" open="no"]
According to the AMF:
When you purchase or lease a vehicle long-term, the dealer may offer you replacement insurance.
If you have this insurance and your vehicle is declared a total loss, it will be replaced by a new one with the same features, equipment and accessories.
In the case of a partial loss, this insurance will cover you for the replacement of parts that cannot be repaired with new original equipment manufacturer parts.
Your automobile insurer can offer you a similar product known as "replacement cost insurance".
When you buy or lease a vehicle, you may have to choose between replacement insurance and replacement cost endorsement.
[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Do you need replacement cost insurance when you buy a new car" open="no"]The best way to know is to become informed on the benefits, and make a decision based on your particular situation and needs. For example, if you have put money down on the car and it is financed, you may want to find out what happens to that money in the event of a total loss? For leased vehicles, you should also find out if your vehicle has a gap clause in the contract – and what that means. These are just some of the questions that help you make an informed decision. We've included information below to help you understand the differences between the different types of replacement insurance available.[/fusion_toggle][/fusion_accordion][fusion_text]Chart below by AMF

New Delhi: The tussle between one of India`s leading educational institutions, St Stephen`s College, and a society founded by Congress MP Sandeep Dikshit has entered the courts with the college filing a petition to stop the society from "misusing" its name.
The college`s suit filed in the Delhi High Court said there already existed an alumni association promoted by the college and called "St Stephen`s College Alumni Association and Executive" since last 50 years. It was involved in various constructive activities towards the welfare of the institution, it said.
The society promoted by Dikshit and others, "The St Stephen`s College Alumni Association", was alleged to have been created for interfering in the functioning of the college and with mala fide intentions.
St Stephen`s alleged that Dikshit had wanted to influence control of his alma mater and hence had got a member of the alumni association, Nirmal Andrews, to suggest his name for nomination to the organisation`s board.
"By December 2009, the composition of the plaintiff`s (alumni association) governing body changed substantially. As a result, in the perception of the Defendant No. 6 (Dikshit), the secret motives of controlling and interfering in the college became untenable," read the suit.
After the board withdrew Dikshit`s nomination, he allegedly adopted a hostile attitude towards the college, accusing it of being a "communal institution".
The college also alleged that Dikshit along with others tried to create differences between members of the alumni association, and that they were annoyed because the college did not allow admission norms to be relaxed for their "chosen candidates".
"The plaintiff understands that the defendants were also annoyed with the fact that they would not be able to take charge of the substantial funds that would be contributed by the alumni."
"The defendants chose not to stop at such actions and went further with their malicious and mala fide objectives to form and register a society using the name of the plaintiff, having objectives that are clearly intended to interfere in the management and administration of the plaintiff," the petition added.
Dikshit or other members of the society "The St Stephen`s College Alumni Association" could not be reached by phone.
The society`s media co-ordinator Ashish Joshi, however, commented on the first day`s hearing on an open Facebook group -- stephanian.
"Interesting day in High court Delhi today... `Theatre of absurds`... they want us to change the name of our Association from `St Stephen`s College Alumni Association` to `The Alumni Association`... :-)," read Joshi`s post.
St Stephen`s principal Valson Thampu declined to comment on the matter contending it was sub judice.

Getting a Puppy/ Dana Pugh
I've decided I should blog something. ha...this year has been so busy with both work and my family life that something had to give and my blog posts ended up being that thing.
This family won my contest that I had back in June and they chose to have their session to celebrate the arrival of their newest family member(a gorgeous puppy). We played in the backyard and then went for a walk. The puppy tired out quite quickly and had to be carried like a baby. So sweet. This is my favourite kind of session...a little bit of home and a little bit of the neighbourhood. Enjoy!

lastcall on Sat, Feb 09, 2008 Yaay! We finally get to see the OTHER side of "The Poop Deck," Lily and Abby's bar hangout at The Gamer's Cove--which is also where Abby works. ...I felt like doing it in color, and it took a looong-ass time. So as much as I like the result, I don't know how often I will be able to do these in color.
I'm a little miffed why my style keeps changing. Lily and Abby look different in every freakin' strip...ah, well.
