We meet today Lord as your saints have met throughout the ages, wanting to offer you our sacrifice of praise and worship, wanting to grow together as the Body of Christ in this place, wanting to be here more than anywhere else.
For each member of this worshipping fellowship.
For the diversity of gifts and talents expressed within it.
For those whose gifts have yet to be discovered.
but in your eyes are of immeasurable value.
peace and grace might be seen in the simple actions of living.
Father, it is our will to know you more, through the study of your word; through worship and through prayer; through listening in the quieter moments of our lives.
All: Forgive those times when our minds are distracted, when thoughts wander from you to the mundane aspects of our lives. When tensions and fears occupy our prayer time.
In a moment of quietness, we can allow our thoughts to centre on the Godhead; on God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, united Three in One.
In a moment of quietness we can reflect on our own worth in God's eyes, and the value of each member of this fellowship to the life of the body.
In a moment of quietness we can pray for the building up of this body. For each member to understand his or her own gifting and talent, and for no one to think themselves more worthy than another.
Father God, we are joined to you through the death and the Resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ. You held nothing back, endured not only a father's pain but the actual pain of that cross, so that we might know the true meaning and the potential cost of Love.
As you are One with the Holy Spirit and with your Son may we also be one, united in the body which is your Church here on earth.
As you so publicly demonstrated your love through sacrifice, may we also offer the sacrifice of our lives in service in worship and in our daily lives.
Joined together with one another and in fellowship with our Creator we proclaim our faith to the world, through our words and through our lives.
ALL: Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love towards us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!

JellyCar 2 is a tricky one. It's a quality driving-platforming game with a variety of content; and while that really should be all that matters, the fact is you can download the game for $4 cheaper on an iOS and get more content. Paying more for less stinks. That's obvious. But if the DSi is all you've got, the fact remains: JellyCar2 is is a quality game.
Now, it wants you to think it's stylish, but it unfortunately walks on the wrong side of the line separating "charmingly minimalist” and “lazy.” The DSiWare size limitations haven't been kind to it either, meaning some of the vibrancy has been lost in the transition; and on top of that, there's this weird (though apparently intentional) “static” effect on the platforms and environmental objects that's both distracting and ugly.
Thankfully, there's enough fun packed in the game's numerous levels to overcome its visual shortcomings.
Each level in JellyCar2 is like a little obstacle course race; your goal is always to get your gelatinous vehicle to the target at the end of the level, but you'll have to use power-ups and the game's physics engine to your advantage if you want to get the best time. There are two main power-ups in the game: sticky wheels and balloons. Sticky wheels, which you can toggle on and off, allows your JellyCar to drive on walls and ceilings while balloons do pretty much exactly what you'd expect them to do. The latter tends to be problematic and cumbersome to control, but it's thankfully not used all that often. In addition to these pickups your car also has the ability to grow at any time with a tap of the R or L buttons. Stretching your car to a massive size can help it cross over small gaps with ease, though a power meter on the top left corner of the screen drains as you use it.
The physics engine, which helps gives the JellyCar its bouncy, whimsical handling, is simultaneously the best and worst part of the game. On the plus side, the car is fun to control as it jiggles and wobbles through the environment, since it has a real sense of weight about it. What's not always so fun is the “weight-shifting” mechanic. Pressing left or right on the control pad will shift your car's weight to the corresponding side, allowing it to flip over and even climb small stair cases. It works in theory, but it can be a little inconsistent in practice; a bit frustrating if you're going for high scores.
JellyCar 2 also has something that's rare in DSiWare games these days: content that stretches beyond the main mode of play. In addition to the numerous primary levels (which span across three difficulty levels) there are also two bonus games that are actually almost as fun as the main attraction. Long Jump is the best of the two, and the most self explanatory. You send your JellyCar down one of three enormous ramps (each with their own obstacles and challenges) and try to see how far you can get it to fly before it hits the ground. The other bonus mode, Factory, is a strange inclusion, as it has very little to do with jelly or cars, though it's fun in its own right. Essentially, unnamed, amorphous “parts” will fall down a chute in a factory and you have to send them to the correctly coloured bin by altering the path they're traveling on. It's much more fun then we're making it sound. Promise.
Unfortunately, one of the game's staple components, the Level Editor, has been eschewed completely for the transition to DSiWare.
If you own an iOS device, there's no point in downloading this version of the game — you'd be paying significantly more money for less content. All else considered, though, this is still DSiWare done right: fun, pick-up-and play-style gameplay with a variety of options and tons of replay value. A few missteps and an iffy price-point notwithstanding, this is a quality download that mostly overcomes its shortcomings.
I just never could get into the iOS releases. The game was fun for me for about 15 minutes and then I totally lost interest in them.
It's not my cup of tea really. Same situation--fun for a bit, then I lost interest. But I appreciate what it's doing and I can see how some would find it really enjoyable.
I agree. It's a very popular game on the App store, so there are a lot of people who do like it.
I downloaded this and liked it. Although I think getting another 500 point game would've been better.
O___O those graphics will not do at all. Please tell me they look better in person.
500 points seems overpriced; if I ever get an iPod Touch I might consider this but on DSiWare it's a no go for me.
Ah. ok, I won't be getting this then, lol, because honestly, the graphics were one of the charms of the iTouch version to me.
lets see i have like 12 bucks so...when cut the rope comes out, with is 5 bucks, Ill then have something like 6 bucks left....I think. Ug. Math. Eshop tax. Whatever.

I have been lucky enough to secure support from the wonderful Taylor Guitars. These guitars are so great! I use mine in the studio and it sounds great mic’ed up through a Neumann TLM 103, but also live it is highly responsive through the DI too. A joy to play, it isn’t clunky and awkward like some acoustics can be and fits effortlessly into my hands. This is so important to me as I often play very intricate finger picking parts and with my Taylor, I know I can reply on it to let that be smooth and easy, almost like playing an electric guitar. Expressive and warm sounding, the 514ce offers me the perfect “Singer-Songwriter” tone – a great guitar for my intimate shows. The 914ce is bigger and bolder and reacts brilliantly when I want to play those big open chords passionately. I have the perfect combination of guitar, and I am a very happy to say I am a “Taylor Maiden” for life!
I am also very lucky to have an endorsement with Visual Sound Pedals. The volume pedal is used at every gig and is amazing!
I am proud to use Dean Markley strings!
Thrilled to be endorsed by Roland – I love the Boss pedal range!
I adore the sound of this 12 string named “Heartsong”. I am using it on my second album on almost every song! It has such a gorgeous tone and a built in tuner, which is very handy, being that it has 12 strings!
The Luna High Tide Ukulele is my trademark uke. It goes everywhere with me!
I use Ernie Ball Strings… LOVE Everlast Phospher Bronze!

laila main laila sunny leone danceRaees’ Laila, Sunny Leone, is such a tease. Hell, she makes even Shah Rukh Khan wait for her and even his old-world charm doesn’t work. Sunny and her Laila Main Laila finally arrived on Tuesday evening but she took her own sweet time doing it. But then, it is Sunny Leone we are talking about, and neither SRK or us minded waiting.
And now that Laila Main Laila is here, we can tell you it is certified hot. Sunny Leone has delivered and Shah Rukh Khan is the song’s surprise package. The song is a revamped version of old iconic number Laila Oh Laila, which starred veteran actor Zeenat Aman. While matching up to the level of original version would have been a task for makers as well as Sunny, we think this is the best retreaded version of an old song so far.

The Silk 700 was one man’s lifelong ambition; to revive the glory that was once Scott motorcycles.
Alfred Angus Scott was a Victorian visionary who almost single-handedly invented the large capacity two stroke motorcycle, then went off to do something odd with sidecars.
Some 60 years later, George Silk took the canted forwards, deflector piston, water cooled, two stroke engine concept and applied it to the 1970s touring market. It almost worked, but rocketing petrol prices and new emissions laws pulled the plug on the high quality Silk 700 before it got going. Great idea, wrong decade.
Long ago, bikes were manufactured in the North of England. Marques like Phelan & Moore made Panthers in Cleckheaton, Dot were in Manchester, Scott´s smoked out of Shipley . This is the story of last roadgoing big capacity two stroke manufactured in England; Silk of Derbyshire.
Like many stories from the pioneer days of motorcycling, this is all about one man´s vision; a dream of taking on the world´s best manufacturers with a truly unique design. It was remarkable that even as the mainstream British bike makers like Norton and Triumph were sliding into bankruptcy during the 1970s, a small band of craftsmen were still able to source materials to start manufacturing.
If you have an interest in how bikes are made, and in particular the weird cult of the two stroke engine, then the Silk story is one that will fascinate you. It is also a typical British tale of the underdog, struggling to succeed against all the odds.
The Silk 700 was one man´s passion, a lifelong dream to re-invent the yowling Scott from his youth. George Silk had restored many 596cc twin cylinder, water cooled Scotts for classic enthusiasts and after a successful performance by a `Silk Special´ at the Barbon Hill Climb in 1970, he started low volume, handbuilt manufacture.
Why Scott ? Well Alfred Angus Scott was a Victorian visionary who designed a sort of prototype Yamaha 350LC back in 1908. With a canted forward 323cc engine, featuring a water cooled upper cylinder block and fuel efficient deflector type pistons, all set in a lightweight cradle frame, the bike dominated road racing so quickly the ACU banned it to give four strokes a chance.
Sadly, the Scott never really developed its full potential, especially after Alf Scott himself went off to make a strange sidecar contraption called a `The Sociable ‘ in the early 1920s. Scott´s finally ceased bike production in the 1950s, when anyone not making dull four stroke singles was on a sticky wicket in the UK market.
The 1970s Silk project was a 653cc updated version of the basic Scott twin cylinder power unit, set in a beautifully crafted steel tubular frame made by Spondon of Derbyshire, who also provided the forks.
George Silk, backed by a Kendal based company called Furmanite, started serious production in 1977, right in the midst of the OPEC oil crises and petrol ration books of the era. It wasn´t a good time to sell a two stroke, especially a handbuilt machine which retailed for £1,984. Sounds peanuts now, but a new 1977 Suzuki GS750 cost £1,285 and was 20mph faster. But George Silk believed his chassis was way superior to the Superbikes of the 70s. Journalists had been harangued for some years regarding the virtues of lightweight two strokes in stiff tubular frames by George, and some went along with the idea.
But the Silk was essentially, an update on a very old engine design, and unlike the Yamaha RD series, or Kawasaki KH triples, the Silk had no race pedigree, and it was marketed as a gentleman´s tourer, which was its great undoing.
In those days, UK bikers aged 25 plus were a bit thin on the ground and young riders hadn’t much hope of raising the £2,000 asking price. However, the Silk 700S was produced at the rate of two machines a week from the Darley Abbey works in Derbyshire in the late 1970s. Customers could choose from five basic paint options; British Racing Green, metallic blue or green, black with gold coachlines or plain red. There was also a special edition in purple and cream, the old Scott colours and co-incidentally, a similar scheme to Silk Cut fag packets. The Silk engine benefited from advances in two stroke technology by Dr Gordon Blair, from Queen´s University Belfast – who were leaders in the field and even had Honda and Suzuki knocking on the lecture theatre doors.
The thermo-syphon cooling system, ( used then by Zundapp in Germany, as well as Silk ) essentially boiled water using engine heat, then fed it back down from the radiator in a rubber tube to the engine cases, where it slowly boiled up again – no water pump was required.
Silk were an engineering company and made the piston port twin cylinder engine in-house at their Derbyshire base. The pressed up, four roller bearing crank had the primary drive taken from the crankshaft centre, to an old Velocette Venom four speed gearbox, which was fitted upside down, so you changed down on the lever to go up the box, like a racebike in fact.
Very odd for most riders. But there was more eccentricity. The engine ran on 50:1 petroil mix, yet had a huge separate three and a quarter pint oil tank reserved for main bearing lubrication, pumped by Silk´s self designed oil pump, which was linked to the throttle. Open the throttle and the oil flowed faster. Seldom was any two-stroke so well lubricated.
The engine´s claimed 48bhp was developed at a mere 6,000rpm, giving the bike touring performance. Peak torque was made at just 3,000rpm, similar to the Suzuki GT750 `Kettle´ of the 70s, and the water jacket gave the unit a strange `woofling´ sort of noise. The twin siamesed exhaust pipes ran into a Spanish made Ossa silencer, which was set so low that spirited cornering could soon ground it – no bad thing on the incredibly skinny ( by modern standards ) tyres fitted.
Wheels were originally 18 inch Borrani alloy rims on early Silks, with six spoke Campagnolo cast items seen on this later 1978 model. The whole bike only weighed 305lbs dry and could hit 115mph, the same as a Z650 Kawasaki which weighed 465lbs.
The Silk 700S pictured here was owned by a Mr. Neil Frost a few years ago, when your roving reporter met him near the Goyt valley in Derbyshire. Neil had bought the Silk because he loved the bold statement that George Silk was making back in the 1970s. He admitted it smoked like a damp bonfire when cold, but once the engine warmed up, it was a surprising economical bike to ride, returning 50-60mpg at a steady 70-ish mile per hour cruise.
Silk buyers could specify their bikes to suit their tastes and Neil´s had the cast wheels, with the larger four gallon fuel tank. It also had the extra Lockheed front disc brake, but all Silks had a rear drum fitted. The final drive chain was invariably enclosed, as were the front forks and Girling shock absorbers. Other high standard spec bits included Lumenition electronic ingnition, a quartz halogen headlight, Renolds chains for primary and final drive, plus tapered roller steering head bearings.
Like Alfred Scott, George Silk was reaching for a higher level of quality. With the Silk 700, George and his partners were striving to pay homage to a great Victorian engineer who had put the two stroke on the motorcycling map. They wanted to create a versatile, economical, lightweight machine for older enthusiasts who placed individuality and durability above all else.
But their machine was too faithful to Scott´s eccentric, purist nature and was already ten years too late for the UK market. The era of cheap petrol and oil had gone forever. Big two strokes were an endangered species as US driven emissions laws began to be adopted in Europe too by the early 1980s.Although Suzuki´s GT750 two stroke outsold the CB750 for a couple of years in Britain in the late 1970s, it was perhaps due more to Barry Sheene´s hero status, rather than the bike´s surprisingly civilised touring performance. Finally, Furmanite ordered Silk 700S production to halt in 1981 when UK bike sales collapsed as the Thatcher recession lowered wages and inflation, via mass unemployment. The silken thread that ran all the way back to Scott´s of Shipley was cut.

Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus has again found its spot in a rather complex matter. The latest report suggests that the USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable that come packed with the OnePlus 2 has failed to qualify the universal standards. As a result, these cables could cause damage when inserted into a fast charging device.
The company’s CEO, Carl Pei, announced on OnePlus forums that the USB Type-C cable failed in following the 1.1 specifications (as shown in the picture below). Pei also stated that the refunds and replacements will only be offered to the users who have bought the standalone cable. He also clarified that the users who have got the cable bundled with their OnePlus 2 smartphone, will not eligible for the refund, as the issue does not affect the OnePlus 2 smartphone. In simple words, the cables can only cause damage to the devices other than the OnePlus 2.
The main issue with the cable is due to a 10 k? resistor integrated into the cable and adapter, in lieu of the standard 56 k? alternative. The fault results in more than allowed power intake from the source by the fast charging devices. So, the devices that do not come with fast charging feature stay unaffected by it, and the OnePlus 2 lacks fast charging. Devices with no fast charging have low power consumption ability and hence they cannot be affected by the defect. The refunds for the standalone cable buyers have been initiated to the European and North American buyers through OnePlus website, via PayPal payment method. The buyers who are located in China and India can also claim their refunds by returning the cable to the nearest OnePlus repair center.

The last conversation I had with my father was my frustration that the US did not have speed rail allowing me to visit him more often. I conjectured it was the Airline industry lobbying against it. Like most things, I was completely wrong.
Even "normal" speed trains would be an improvement. The average speed of all European [normal speed] trains is ~ the average speed of the fastest US train (Acela Express). In order to remedy this, a lot of existing rails need to be updated/replaced with better quality and the correct banking (or whatever the right curvature is called) for higher speeds.
The average speed of the Metra trains that serve Chicago from ~50 miles out is 30mph. THIRTY MILES PER HOUR!
However, even if all rails are replaced, the urban public transport system is often lacking comparatively. Trains aren't that useful if the first and last five miles are subject to the bus running late or not at all causing people to miss the train. Perhaps that could be "fixed" with Uber, etc. but we're really looking at a systemic problem.
Population density is the major obstacle. Same reason the best communications infrastructure (cell phone towers, fiber, ... ) is found in SEAS and the EU.
The final proposal for the California high speed rail is beyond hilarious. I grew up in the section of California (central valley) where it is slated to be built, and from start to finish there is nothing but car-centric suburbia and (mostly) farmland. I can't speak to Bakersfield's public transit, but I have spent time on Merced county buses and their system is horrible. No one is going to ride that thing.
Maybe I’m cynical about this, but my feeling the entire thing was just a fraud to give away taxpayer money to friends of the government.
I recently sold off a piece of family property outside of LA that was supposed to be right in the path a soon to be built high speed rail. Haha...but it was told to my grandmother in the 1970s. That’s right, Californians have been told this story multiple times by different people. My grandmother was sold land that would greatly appreciate in value when the rail would be finished in 1976. This is not the first time a high speed rail system has been planned. Same old same old. No rail just a lot of talk and money spent on “pilot projects” and “feasibility studies”. So when the new proposal came through and the man started borrowing money CA doesn’t have to build another I just sighed and gave up. Ripoff alert.
Corruption. That’s the real answer...I think. I drive by the Anaheim high speed terminal built a few years ago that has tracks to nowhere. A joke. They light it up all pretty at night.
The corruption in CA isn’t like the corruption in Ghana. It isn’t in your face but the system is full of it. It probably started when one family decided to take over the water system of the tiny city of LA 100 years ago. Or maybe when the rail baron Huntington built his ranches in the valley. Another example of people being rewarded for doing the wrong thing.
Different time. Different people. Same motives.
Wow how do you ride this gravy train?
I drive by the Anaheim high speed terminal built a few years ago that has tracks to nowhere. A joke. They light it up all pretty at night.
But it sure will look cool in the dystopian/fallout future.
As far as intercity rail goes, Amtrak owns less than 800 miles of it (mostly in the northeast corridor). Compare that to the over 100k miles of track owned by the freight rail companies. The US is very effective at moving freight by rail. But that's partly due to freight trains getting priority over Amtrak trains. And for freight, fast isn't as important as cheap and durable.
So if there's going to be high-speed rail, it would be on trackage that Amtrak already owns, the NEC or Philly-Harrisburg line. Amtrak's estimate for getting the NEC up to SNCF-like speeds is around $150B.
"Never" is strong wording, but in the current environment the chance of the USA spending big money on infrastructure is around zero: politicians are looking for quick wins that generate consensus over stuff that brings long term growth but has short term negative impacts (think the completely destructive tax cut VS a real infrastructure plan that would likely need to be paid by higher taxes).
Of course the only way to sustain long term success is to have good infrastructure in the broader sense (schools, hospitals, roads, rail, airports, ports), which is why, if there is no change of course, I believe asian countries will dominate the future, Europe will become something like Japan (overall doing fairly well, zero to low growth because of deomgraphics) and the USA are doomed to become like the UK (once a superpower, became much less relevant).
But the USA have this extraordinary ability to change course quickly, so overall I'm optimistic.
In a sense, high speed rail is a solution in search of a problem in the US. Even our currently most prominent green advocate shuns rail and public transit while arguably living/working in one of the most friendly places for it in the country (NY<->DC). I tend to dislike the overall experience of air travel so would be happy to have the option of train travel if it was at least competitive with the time it takes to drive the same route (for the most part it is simply impossible because none of my three primary destinations even have passenger rail service). Unfortunately, perhaps, rail would have to compete on its own merits strictly in the niche of transportation modes against auto and air travel, which it already lost to during the 20th century. In other words, even if you built it, it's uncertain (I would guess in general unlikely) whether they would come so long as other options exist.
I think new long distance mass transit opportunities will arise with self-driving vehicles. High speed (90 to 120 MPH) mass transit lanes can be built into existing highways or parallel to existing highways for tandem mass transit self-driving vehicles. It may not be as cost effective as a train but it could be cheaper than flying and would be more pervasive. Maine to NY is 774 miles. At 120 MPH, that is a 7 hr ride - not too bad. If technology could increase the speed to 150MPH, the trip is now a 5 hr ride. Imagine if the curved parts of the highway were designed to handle a tandem wheeled vehicle that could bank at 150MPH? That would be awesome but I imagine some passengers would be induced into a barf-bag-fest.
PS - a NY to California trip would be 24 hours at 120MPH and 19.5 hours at 150MPH.
My understanding is that during the down the years of freight service, when gas was cheap, due to overhead cost, Norfolk Southern and CSX were forced to sell most of their rail lines to Amtrak and then lease back. In my neck of the woods, NJ, Amtrak lines often double as freight lines, which in certain areas. limits the freight service to off-peak hours.
The Amtrak Corporate Profile has some detail about the infrastructure they own.
It's hard to beat rail for long distance freight (500 miles per gallon per ton). But for regional intermodal, the benefit diminishes vs. trucking. Amtrak definitely owns lines in the NEC, which includes NJ.
Unfortunately, perhaps, rail would have to compete on its own merits strictly in the niche of transportation modes against auto and air travel, which it already lost to during the 20th century. In other words, even if you built it, it's uncertain (I would guess in general unlikely) whether they would come so long as other options exist.
I figure that’s why airline travel os getting so miserable, so that we’ll beg for any reasonable alternative to not having to suffer increasingly tiny seats and toilets.
It's why I scratch my head at all this space travel stuff. It's not like its so easy getting around down here. How about you launch everyone to work and then worry about Mars.

One result of these improvements has been to put pressure on router technology to keep pace. There is more urgent need to research and study terabit (10/sup 12/ bit) router. Traditional routes using shared-bus and central processing unit cannot do it. So how to support the terabit per second data speed is a great challenge for traditional router architecture. In this article, the recent years' new achievements in terabit routers are summarized, the new functions of terabit routers are introduced, and the distributed architecture of new generation super high speed terabit router are analyzed, which put emphasis on the multi-dimensional switching architecture.

W5500 Ethernet with POE Mainboard is a new member in our Ethernet family. It is based on the ATmega32u4 and W5500 Ethernet chip, which is quite useful to most IOT projects.
W5500 chip is a Hardwired TCP/IP embedded Ethernet chip that provides easier Internet connection to embedded systems. It enables users to have the Internet connectivity in their applications just by using the board in which TCP/IP stack, 10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY embedded. W5500 Ethernet Board is uses a high-efficiency SPI protocol, which supports 80 MHz speed for the high speed network communication. In order to reduce power consumption, it also provides WOL (Wake on LAN) and power down mode.
It has the same package size with Arduino Leonardo, and is compatible with most of Arduino shields and sensors. With a safer and more professional power regulation chip, the system can work under much more complex environments. And forget about power supply issues, since it work with POE power supply. Convenient huh?
Version Update: V2.0 has upgraded its POE power regulation circuit. which makes POE power more reliable.

They're driving sophisticated, gadget-rich vehicles with computer-controlled systems that don't make tinkering under the hood easy, even for those few who are so inclined.
Understandably, when they buy a boat, the psychology of ownership, usage and service is often more akin - and certainly more appropriate - to four-wheelers than to those wonderful, maddening creations that are pointy at one end and square at the other (apologies to all the lovely double-enders out there).
"They think you should be able to turn it on, go out, come back, turn it off and walk away from it," says Maine yacht designer Mark Fitzgerald. "People don't want hassles. It has to work." It's supposed to work and run and steer, well, just like a car.
We all know that boats aren't cars and that that perspective and naïveté can get you into trouble on the water. It's the wisdom in the punch line to the old joke, What's the difference between a boat and a car? When your boat breaks down, you can't just pull over to the side of the road and walk home.
Know-How columnist Mike Saylor is fond of rattling off his shorthand axioms of seamanship: "Don't sink the boat; don't run her aground; get to where you are going; and return with the same crew you started with and all in one piece." It's that simple - and that difficult.
The bottom line is that nothing takes precedence over your safety and that of your crew. To that point, this issue of Soundings contains several stories that center on practical information, know-how and common sense, three attributes that will always serve you well on the briny.
"Common sense," the late Bill Brogdon once told me, "is an uncommon commodity." A retired Coast Guard captain, Bill was a respected safety expert and consummate waterman who was a master at separating real-world, practical advice from theoretical mumbo-jumbo.
He and I would have enjoyed discussing several stories in this issue, and then invariably using them to springboard over the decades to other stories, with their own hard-learned lessons, some with hard-luck endings. "You know," he'd say, "I had a case late one fall involving a fisherman who was overdue when I was in charge of search-and-rescue in Maine." And off we'd go.
Here are four stories in this June issue that I know the captain would have taken particular interest in.
How does a 2-year-old, $4.5 million, 75-foot yacht sink in her slip? All it takes is some sloppy, ill-conceived aftermarket plumbing. Talk about learning the hard way ("Plumbing failure sinks $4.5 million yacht in slip").
If it could happen to veteran frostbite sailor Christopher Marrs, it could happen to just about anyone. On a sunny day last December in southern New England, Chris found out about the insidious nature of hypothermia ("A chillingly close call for a longtime frostbiter").
For a fresh voice on a timeless subject, I direct you to Adelaide Northrop's well-told account of a bluewater passage that went bad because of the hubris of the captain ("'Training' cruise was anything but").
Tom Neale separates the dream of living aboard from the realities of the lifestyle as well as anyone I know. When he discusses seamanship, as he does this month, it's from the perspective of someone who's raised a family on the water, knocked around the Bahamas for years and still traverses the ditch in spring and fall ("Don't shortcut the learning curve").
Experience, preparation, anticipation, situational awareness - those are the qualities that keep the boat right-side up and the water on the outside of the hull, where it belongs. And don't underestimate the value of continuing education, whether formal or from the school of hard knocks. There is no substitute for time on the water. You learn so much just being out there over the long haul. Tips, smart shortcuts, dos and don'ts. And you get a little wiser from your mistakes, hopefully small ones. Sometimes it almost seems to happen by osmosis.
I try to remember a little advice from the good captain: "Running a boat," Capt. Brogdon used to say, "is a full-time job. If you don't stay alert, you're going to miss something."

This research proposal proposes a study to evaluate the differences in consumer spending amongst a company’s three types of customers (pre-sale ticketed, paid admission, free admission) once granted entry to one of the company’s nightclub venues in order to evaluate the optimal supply mix of customer type to maximize revenues. Since the company’s venue has a finite customer capacity limit due to safety and fire regulations and laws and it generally reaches these legal capacity levels on the vast majority of the nights it is open for business (leaving surplus customers unable to enter the venue), the proposed research study will attempt to evaluate the optimal mix of each of these types of customers in order to maximize revenue by controlling the supply and demand of these three different admission ticket types (Kimes & Thompson, 2004).

With Microsoft’s 13-year-old XP operating system being phased out in April this year, Camara Education is calling for donations of old computers so they can be used in education centres across the globe.
Users of the popular operating system, particularly the estimated one in three businesses still using it, will be required to move to the newer Windows 7 or 8, or else face serious problems as Microsoft ends all support for XP by 8 April.
Now Camara Education, a charity that educates disadvantaged communities, is asking for old units so they can be refurbished and re-used to help provide students with digital skills.
According to Camara Education's figures, up to 500,000 computers are discarded each year in Ireland, half of which are suitable for reuse.
Through their refurbishment centres in Dublin, Belfast, London and San Jose, California, Camara Education erases all data on donated computers' hard drives to US Department of Defence standards before re-installing a Linux-operated software on them.
The key software that will be installed on the computers is Edubuntu, a free educational program for kids of all ages to learn a variety of topics through their computers. When the computers are re-furbished, they will be sent to countries like Ethiopia, Jamaica and Uganda.
The computers with a whole new lease on life will also have Open Office and Wikipedia available to them, giving children access to a range of tools and resources.
If you or a company would like to donate old computers to Camara Education and help disadvantaged children across the world, visit Camara's website, where you can find all the information you need to give your old PC a new life.

The distinction between craftwork and fine art is commonly plotted along points of function, form, tradition, and, while often left unspoken, gender. However, in Nationale’s two-person exhibition, artists Amanda Leigh Evans and Anastasia Greer playfully dismantle these outdated associations by resituating the feminine voice of pottery and quilting as a vital source of fluidity within sculpture and painting’s traditional rulebook.
Pottery has always been informed by quotidian needs—a mug to hold tea, an urn to carry those we’ve lost. Evans’ terra cotta sculptures, however, feel no obligation to this functional history. Her objects, colored with luminescent underglazes in ruddy pinks, milky whites, and charcoal, only temporarily allude to specific uses. While our eyes seek out the recognizable curves and voids of handles and slots—shapes that beckon to be held or to hold—such literal interpretations do not linger. Conflated and multiplied in Evans’ compositions, these at first familiar forms are revealed to be purely symbolic. They exist instead somewhere between art and life, never confined to one fixed meaning or purpose.
While Evans in this manner teases our desire for functionality, Greer playfully flirts with the boundaries between artistic mediums. Atop delicate backgrounds of dyed raw silk, her compositions of pale, watery squares and sensual, bright blobs exude a whimsical, decidedly feminine softness. Greer mimics in these opposing patterns and colors both the measured designs and madcap collage of fabrics favored by quilt makers. Quilting’s geometric emphasis is likewise melded with the balanced grid foundation of painterly compositions. However, instead of stabilizing an internal chaos, Greer’s grids highlight the futility of such a fixed logic. Atop these rigid markings, swollen squiggles of paint squeezed directly from the tube disregard any call for two-dimensionality. Patterns trickle over the canvases’ edges, oblivious to the sanctity of the individual object. The final work, in this way, remains open with possibility—a weaving of infinite variations and associations.

My sister made cross stitch above cube shelving.
Orange cat toy was made by me out of tea towels.
Before I was pregnant with our son this room was a boring neutral wall colored spare room which lacked personality and style and was very uninspiring. So when I became pregnant with our son I looked forward to designing and decorating his bedroom and gathered many ideas for baby nurseries off the net. One of my favorite sites for ideas was and still is project nursery. When we found out we were having a boy at our 20 week scan I then narrowed down our color of choice for his walls to be aqua with blue, green and orange accessories. I designed his room around these colors. I wanted to create a room for Toby that was not to babyish and will grow with him. I am not a big fan of themed rooms so stayed cleared of these. The baby bedding I had bought before I was pregnant with our first child a daughter called Katelyn and cause she was a girl I did not use this bedding in her room. But found it worked perfectly with the wall color I had chose for Toby's room. The wall color I choose was Resene Foam and my Dad kindly painted the room for us before Toby was born. I found the aqua wall color to be a great base color; in which works easily with accessories and it makes the accessories pop. I found choosing the wall color was a great starting point when designing the room and then I based the accessories, bedding and curtains etc to work with it.
I am a mother of two. I have a nearly 6 year old daughter called Katelyn and a son called Toby who is 6 weeks old. I enjoy home interior, photography, making things, spending time with my family, travelling and watching movies.

CaratLane, India's leading omni-channel jeweller is expanding its retail footprint in the northern region. To ring in the festive season, CaratLane has launched its 14th store in Delhi/NCR and 17thstore in the region.
With discerning customers looking for trustworthy jewellery brands, CaratLane’s association with Tanishq has only come as a boon for them and their love for precious and contemporary jewellery.
Situated in one of the prime shopping areas in Noida, CaratLane’s outpost is designed to bring in a uniquely smart jewellery buying experience. “We are excited to announce the launch of our 14th store in Delhi/NCR in time for this festive season. Delhi has always been a strong market for us and this store will is sure to appeal to our old and new customers alike.

Our store here is a testament to our commitment to make modern, affordable jewellery increasingly accessible.” Mithun Sacheti, Founder & CEO CaratLane said, while speaking about the launch.
CaratLane stores are very different from the typical Indian jewellery stores. They are designed for a truly omni-channel experience. This store houses a solitaire corner and the virtual try-on 'magic mirror' for those 'just looking' moments.
For a brand that’s on a mission to democratise access to jewellery, this store launch is another step forward in that direction.

Let’s talk about Iceland; a land where the horses are small, the glacial melt is drinkable, and the human-to-volcano ratio is about 2,500 to 1. Here travelers are given a chance to explore some of the wildest landscapes and meet some of the friendliest people on Earth (seriously, that last part’s been independently verified), and if tourism numbers over the past couple decades are any indication, that’s about as winning a combination as a country can get. The amount of people visiting this European island nation on an annual basis now more than doubles its population, which may seem slightly overwhelming until you realize that there are fewer than 350,000 people living here. Still, the numbers are impressive, and reflect not only the country’s immense selection of adventure but its growing cultural appeal as well. So if fermented shark meat, midnight twilights, and the electric hues of the aurora borealis pique your interest, lets take a closer look at this sparsely populated and utterly incredible destination.
Iceland happens to be situated on the divide where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are drifting apart at the going rate of 1 inch per year. If those 10th grade Earth Science classes are leading you to believe that this makes it ripe for geologic mayhem, you’re right. Geysers, hot springs and volcanic mountains mix with around 11,500 km2 of oscillating glacial coverage to give this country its notably alien landscape, providing a massive playground for travelers on the lookout for unforgettable adventures. Curious where to begin? There’s plenty to explore around Reykjavik itself, including the Valshamar cliffs, the Silfra Crack and the singular magnificence of Thrihnukagigur Volcano’s magma chamber. You’ll find, however, that the further you circumnavigate the island, the more surreal the adventures become. Places like Thorsmork, Borgarfjördur Eystri and the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve fall into this category, and could easily gobble up a week’s worth of exploration each. If you’re pressed for time, consider opting for the fool-proof, 4-day Laugavegur Trek: a kind of “Best-of Iceland” experience that’s been dubbed the country’s Inca Trail.
For those inevitable periods in between exploratory jaunts around the country, it’s nice to know that Iceland isn’t lacking in the cultural department either. Yes its population might be small (the largest city outside the Reykjavik region, Akureyri, has about 18,000 residents), but with over 1,100 years of history and a vibrant, art-friendly capital, there are more than enough museums, galleries and (especially) festivals to go around. Reykjavik, of course, is the undisputed champ: a small city that nevertheless boasts over 50 permanent cultural destinations (National Museum of Iceland, Harpa Concert Hall, etc.) and myriad annual celebrations like Iceland Airwaves and the Reykjavik Art Festival. If you’re mid-Ring Road, however, you can still encounter cultural gems aplenty, such as the vibrant elven folklore of Bakkagerði and the growing LungA Art Festival in Seyðisfjörður. Is it the Louvre or the Great Wall? No; but it why would it need to be? Like everywhere else, the artistic and cultural heritage of Iceland has been shaped by its surroundings; and when your country looks this spectacular, sometimes you’ve said enough already. Enjoy the trip.
US citizens, as well as citizens from most American and European nations, can enter Argentina visa-free for visits of up to 90 days. For visits of any length beyond this, travelers are urged to pick up a residency permit at the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration. Still curious? Check out said directorate for further information.
The Icelandic króna (ISK) is basically equivalent to .008 USD / .0065 EUR / .005 GBP. For up to the minute exchange rates, click here.
The Icelandic government is based on a constitutional, multi-party system. The president is elected directly and has no term limitation, while the majority of legislative power is in the hands of the Parliament, which is elected every four years. Judiciary power is independent of the government and is vested at the highest level in the Supreme Court. For more info, get to the government website.
Icelandic is the language spoken with prevalence by locals, but Danish and English are practiced in school. If you're taking a guided tour or spending the majority of your time in Reykjavik, then you'll frequently be surrounded by English speakers. As in any country, you'll find little but Icelandic spoken the further you get from Reykjavik and the usual tourist routes.
Iceland has most definitely earned its reputation as one of the safest countries in the world. Drug use, socio-economic disparity, violent crime, and a number of other issues that often deter travelers from other countries are near non-existent in Iceland, even in light of the generally low populace. Don't be surprised to see bikes propped up without bike chains and policemen without sidearms; it might be strange at first, but you'll be comforted by the basic trust and kindness you're treated with.
The large majority of international visitors will arrive in Reykjavik, where many will rent cars so that this wide-open, rugged country can be tackled with ease. There are buses that travel the famous Ring Road that circles the country's perimeter and domestic flights to most corners of Iceland, but (unless you're booking tours) a rental car is the way to go for most visitors. There really isn't much of a transportation infrastructure here (literally no railroads) because the heart of the country is still wild and largely unsettled, but there are roads to every Icelandic highlight you can think of. And if there's no road? That's where the adventure begins.
For an island in the Arctic Circle, you'd be surprised at how moderate the weather in Iceland can be. Not that you'll be spending your days under a beach umbrella, but summer temperatures can get upwards of 21 degrees Celsius (70 F) due to the warming nature of the Irminger Current out of the North Atlantic. Still, even if you're visiting in July, you better be packing rain-resistant gear and even a heavier coat, because the weather can be notoriously fickle, turning your blue-skied morning in Reykjavik into a chilly, windy afternoon climbing Hnappavellir. If you're here after September, then hats, gloves, and high-end winter gear should fill your suitcase.
It is unusual to tip for service in Iceland, although tips are accepted when given. Unlike most countries you'll travel to, you'll find that tipping is not expected in any circumstance whether you're taking a taxi, getting your bags carried or eting out in a restaurant. Then again, if the service is good, there's no better way to show your appreciation!
Despite the fact that beer was outlawed as recently as 1989, the drinking culture in Iceland is quite lively. Even though communities are pretty well distributed about the island, there is a growing cocktail and bar culture in more populated areas like Reykjavik and access to alcohol of all varieties. In recent years, craft beer has made a surge, the consumption of vodka has held strong and Iceland's best kept secret, Brennevin. Trying a shot of this locally-made, licorice-flavored spirit should be on any Icelandic bucket list. As far as nightlife, it definitely varies, but he one thing you can depend on is that people will be having their fun in the late night hours and often won't really get going until well after midnight.
To be honest, there are a surprising number of interesting facts about Iceland. Strip clubs are banned, there is an honest-to-goodness widespread belief in elvish creatures, handball is the sport of choice, and Icelandic versions of Santa Claus are the Yule Lads, descendants of trolls that were once used to scare children and now have turned their acts around in the spirit of Christmas. And that's for starters!
Peak season:Spring is cheaper and less crowded, but Summer is considered the peak season.
Unless you're fluent in Icelandic, you're better off not even attempting to pronounce this one. Luckily, it also goes by the much easier moniker "Westman Islands Camping Festival." This is one of Iceland's most well known and beloved weekend get-togethers, usually taking place the first weekend in August but occasionally falling on the last weekend in July. It's a national holiday celebrated throughout the country (called Verslunarmannahelgi), but the biggest party takes place on the Westman Islands, where around 16,000 people come to dance, sing Icelandic folk songs, and just be happy together. There are bands, bonfires and fireworks aplenty so if you're Reykjavik-bound mid-summer and you don't mind a few sleepless nights of revelry seriously consider hitting it up.
Just before the turn of the 21st century, Reykjavik held its first Iceland Airwaves music festival in an airplane hanger at the city's airport. These days, the weekend-long celebration of all things music has established itself as one of the world's premier festivals in its genre, drawing in acts, fans and industry reps from around the globe. Performers play at venues all over the capital, so it's also a good opportunity to explore Reykjavik's surprisingly dynamic nightlife scene. The dates change annually, but mid-October through early November are generally safe bets. For tickets, bands and schedules, just check the official site (listed below).
Held annually in Reykjavik at the end of September, this 11 day film festival is a relatively new event that tends to highlight up-and-coming works of cinema from the international arena. Showings typically occur at the city's art house mainstay, Bíó Paradís, although, as the the festivities have expanded over the last decade, movies have been screened across the city in unique locations like caves and swimming pools, while more interactive events have been added to attract more domestic and foreign guests. You may not get the star power of a Sundance or Cannes or other festival of that status, but the RIFF and it's golden puffin are starting to make a mark for themselves that is worth the excitement of a late September break from the country's more glacial nature activities.
First put on in 1996, Reykjavik's Menningarnótt is a celebration of Icelandic entertainment and music that become one of the most well-attended events in the country. Held annually on the first Saturday after August 18th, expect a day of dancing, food, and music, capped off by a night-time performance by a famous act and a spectacular fireworks display. Good luck finding a hotel that weekend, for the number of people who attend actually rival the whole population of Reykjavik, meaning that you'll be among quite a few out-of-towners if you plan on dropping in. For specific acts and events, check out the official site.

The West Henderson High School theater program has become a popular escape for students from the everyday rigors of core classes. High student enrollment and sellout performances have helped to define Kelly Cooper’s program. However, her momentum has taken a hit due to a partially broken light board.
According to junior Jeffrey Cooper, son of adviser Kelly, the theater has had the same light board controlling all the productions in the class for years that has just barely been able to keep up with all the use expected in the theater classes. After the recent power surge that came through the school, a few of the lights on the board have stopped working completely. These lights in particular are needed for all the special lighting, and are very hard and expensive to fix, facing the school with an issue.
Ever since the lighting has been damaged, theater students have seen a difference in their classes.
Kelly said she believes that more funding to upgrade the lighting system would not only fix the issue at hand, but also allow the program’s performance qualities to rise so that they may continue to make a name for themselves and create more entertainment for the students of West Henderson.

Most pet owners have heard of heartworm disease, and many of us dutifully administer a preventative medication to our pets each month. Thanks to a lack of public information, however, some pet owners don’t give their pets a preventative at all, or they don’t provide doses of the medication on a regular basis. Few pet owners truly understand the dangers of heartworm disease and the risk it poses to their pets.
We all enjoy a good puppy smooch from time to time, but when that semi-sweet canine breath turns pungent, it’s not just a cue to hold your own breath. Indeed, dog breath may be something dog owners become accustomed to, but it should never be ignored. Dog breath is the first obvious sign of gum disease and is a real threat to your pet’s overall health, happiness, and longevity.
Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude – gratitude for all the wonderful moments, comforts, memories, and loved ones. So, naturally, this is the perfect time to also reflect on the many ways our pet companions add joy and meaning to our lives. That’s why the team at Pet Medical Center – Chatoak have compiled some of the reasons pets are so important to us.
Recently at Pet Medical Center – Chatoak, we have had a few pet patients made sick by the toxic sago palm. We wanted to take this opportunity to be sure that all of our readers recognize the dangers of this common plant and know what to look out for when it comes to pets and sago palms.
Sago palms are a common part of the landscape here in California, but not everyone knows what they look like. Sago palms grow naturally and can be found in wild landscapes. They are also a commonly utilized ornamental plant, and may even be in your own backyard.
With summer coming to a close and another school year upon us, many families are caught up in the excitement of shopping for school supplies and figuring out new schedules. However, a family pet who has been enjoying months of constant playtime may feel a little differently once the kids are off to school.
Why Do Cats Love Boxes? Your Burning Questions Answered!
It’s the rare cat that doesn’t love boxes. Even non-cat owners know about this phenomenon; if you haven’t seen a meme or Youtube video depicting cats playing in, curling up in, and generally taking charge of boxes of all shapes and sizes, you’ve probably been living in a cave.
Have you ever wondered why cats love boxes so much anyway?
Walking your dog is one of life’s greatest pleasures – until he or she unexpectedly runs through a patch of foxtails. Unfortunately, California foxtails don’t just clump together in small, avoidable pockets. Foxtails seem to be everywhere. From rolling hillsides to mountain trails, the dangers of foxtails should not be underestimated.
There’s no question that exercise is good for your pet’s health. However, there is such a thing as too much exertion – especially for a pet who hasn’t been properly conditioned. While jogging together is a great outlet for pent up energy (and strengthens the bond between you), this type of activity can be troublesome over time. Before you exercise with your pet, check out our tips to prevent injuries and reduce stress related to overworking.

Canada recently became one of the first countries in the world to (almost) completely legalise cannabis. Right now, anyone wishing to do so can stroll into a dispensary and pick up all the cannabis flowers, edibles and related accessories they could ever wish for.
Unsurprisingly, legalisation in Canada has resulted in a huge influx of interest from international tourists. Millions are crossing the border on a regular basis from the United States, but Canada is also seeing huge numbers flock in from Europe, Australia and elsewhere.
Cannabis may be legal in Canada, but actually bringing the stuff into Canada is a different story entirely. So if you’ve been thinking of bringing anything with you…for some strange reason…don’t bother. It’s a pointless endeavour in the first place and stands to land you in trouble - anything up to 14 years in jail if convicted.
As liberal and inviting as dispensaries may be, it is illegal to smoke or vape cannabis in-store. Doing so will see you thrown out and could result in a heavy fine. In addition, you’re also likely to be refused service and given your marching orders if you appear intoxicated at the time.
Under no circumstances is anyone under the age of 18 allowed in a dispensary in Canada. Even if supervised by a parent or guardian, there are no exceptions to the rule in any dispensary in the country. What’s more, you can expect to be asked for proof of ID - even if you’re in your mid-30s and not exactly youthful looking!
In the vast majority of territories, towns and cities across Canada, the legal age for purchasing cannabis is actually 19. It’s only in Alberta and Quebec that you can buy cannabis at the age of 18, which is worth bearing in mind.
It’s also possible to buy fresh cannabis flowers that haven’t been dried and cured, in order to go about the process yourself if preferred.
In terms of limitations, there are no differences in purchase limits between residents and visitors. If buying cannabis flowers, you’ll be permitted to buy a maximum of 30g of dried cannabis bud per day. The daily fresh cannabis allowance increases to 150g, limitations on marijuana edibles start at 450g and concentrates can be purchased in quantities of up to 7.5g per day.
One important note - cannabis edibles will not be legally sold at Canadian dispensaries until October 2019.
There are different rules regarding the legality of smoking cannabis across Canada’s provinces. Nevertheless, it’s prohibited to smoke cannabis in a public place and must for the most part be consumed exclusively in a private residence or on private property.
Additional restrictions apply regarding the proximity to schools, hospitals, Health Care facilities and so on. It’s also illegal to consume cannabis in a vehicle in territories such as Alberta and nova Scotia.
As with cannabis purchases from dispensaries, the maximum quantity of dried cannabis flower you can carry on your person is 30g. If you are found to be carrying more than this, you’ll be looking at an immediate $200 penalty - perhaps even jail-time if you’re suspected to be dealing illegally.

Japan’s controversial security bills, passed by the Lower House in July, was finally approved by the Upper House on September 18th,despite an outcry from thousands of demonstrators.
With the bills, Japan can use the right of collective self-defense, which means, Japan’s Self Defense Forces can use the military in overseas conflicts to support allies abroad, even if Japan itself isn’t under attack.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says, “We need the security legislation to protect Japanese people.

From walking in the door with the groceries, kicking off my shoes, and cooking to getting this on the table was about 40 minutes, but I certainly didn't rush. I took my sweet time chopping stuff because I wanted it all thin and I am not a great chopper. I think if I really tried, it could have been done in 30 minutes. Yum-o!
In a small bowl, mix the garlic, three fourths of the grated ginger, the tamari, and hot sauce. Whisk in about 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Place the meat in a shallow dish and coat it evenly in marinade. Let stand for 10 minutes.
[Since I didn't use the coconut, I skipped this next step.] In a small skillet, toast the shredded coconut until lightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Keep an eye on it; the coconut can go from golden brown to burnt, quickly. Remove the toasted coconut from the skillet and reserve.
Grill the flank steak for 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove the flank steak from the grill and let the juices redistribute before slicing, 5 to 10 minutes. [In my experience, it is fine after 5 minutes, but better after 10, so if you can wait that long, you should.] Thinly slice the meat on an angle, cutting the meat against the grain. To the dressed veggies, add the spinach, sliced steak, toasted coconut, and chopped peanuts, toss thoroughly and serve.
Mmmmm Rachael Ray should consider having you as her advertising agent! I'm convinced.. off to make this for dinner tonigh!
I think Rachael should consider that, but I don't think she has noticed me yet! Thanks, Carrie. I hope you like it as much as I did.
Thanks for letting me now you liked it too, Carrie. And, your pictures of it turned out wonderfully!
This is one of my all time favorite RR recipes. My only caveat is that there are a LOT of ingredients so this is kind of a special meal to impress people with. It's amazing. Another of my all time favorites is her Tex Mex Cesear Salad. We call it "Silent Salad" because you can't talk it's so good.
We had this for dinner last night and it was AMAZING! We actually used pork chops because that's what kind of meat we had on hand. I'm not necessarily a big fan of pork but my husband likes it...could not get enough of it with this marinade on it! Delish! And like the above said the flavors are mild enough that you could definitely have it for guests(adults) and not be afraid that someone won't like it.

The BRAIN Center offers unique, specialized brain-based neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation therapies to treat a wide-variety of conditions. We’re very different than other healthcare clinics you may have been to. Therefore, we deliver very different results.
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries can be debilitating injuries with lifelong consequences. Most concussions resolve on their own in a short period of time. When symptoms do not fully resolve, those that remain are classified as post-concussion syndrome.
These individuals may experience severe headaches, dizziness, light-headedness and vertigo, crippling chronic fatigue, painful light and sound sensitivity, and incapacitating brain fog. They may suffer from memory loss, and even struggle to find the words to communicate. Multi-tasking becomes impossible, and even the completion of a simple task may become challenging. Often these symptoms never resolve, despite extensive therapy from numerous physicians and therapists.
While there are many ways the brain may be damaged, often many of the symptoms seen in post-concussion syndrome and traumatic brain injuries derive from a failure of integration within the brain. The primary function of your brain is to make sense of where you are in the environment, so that you can adapt to the world appropriately. Your brain does this with visual, vestibular (inner ear), and proprioceptive (muscle and joint) pathways. It needs to use all of these pathways simultaneously to create a coherent unconscious picture of where the world is, and where you are in relation to gravity and the environment.
These pathways include long, thin, and fragile fibers that project from all over the brain down into the brainstem. This is unfortunately the area that takes the most torque and stress from the multivectorial shearing forces that develop with rapid acceleration and rotation of the head. This disrupts these pathways and damages their integration. They may then have difficulty knowing where their body is in relation to the world, and the brain must struggle to resolve the mismatch between the senses. This can be profoundly fatiguing, as it robs resources from cognitive pathways, and provokes the majority of post-concussive symptoms.
The BRAIN Center works to find solutions to these complex neurological problems using cutting-edge diagnostics and examination procedures to find the root of your dysfunction. We utilize various neurodiagnostic technologies to quantify all of the relevant aspects of your visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems. More importantly, we analyze how they work together, in order to determine what circumstances provoke their failure and devise strategies to make them work in unison again. Lastly, we determine the precise fatigue thresholds of these pathways, and create programs to rebuild your functional endurance.
Vertigo is a sensation that can make you feel as though you are spinning, tilting, swaying back and forth, being pulled in one or several directions, or generally unstable. Dizziness is a sensation of light-headedness that can make one feel as if they might faint and lose consciousness. Both these conditions may cause nausea, headaches, heart palpitations, ringing in your ears, inability to hold your eyes still, vomiting, and a feeling of being unable to sit up or stand without passing out. Together they can range from a mild annoyance to a severely debilitating problem.
Vertigo is often caused by a problem with the vestibular system. This includes the inner ear and vestibular nerves. The problem can also involve any of the brainstem, cerebellar, and brain regions that receive inner ear input. Sometimes the mechanism might even be visually-induced. When the input from the vestibular system does not match the input from the eyes or the muscles, this sensory mismatch creates the inappropriate perception of motion.
Orthostatic hypotension is a form of dizziness that develops when people shift their position towards being more vertical. People often feel like they are about to pass out during sit-to-stand transitions. This can involve poor coordination between the vestibular system and the brainstem mechanisms that regulate blood flow to the brain.
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a more severe orthostatic issue, wherein people lose the ability to properly regulate heart rate appropriately. This is a common consequence of traumatic brain injuries, but can also be the result of viral infections, mold exposure, chemical sensitivities, and other types of autoimmune conditions.
Traumatic Brain Injuries frequently result in vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is one of the most common symptoms of an injured brain. Vertigo can also be the result of neck injuries. The forces that create TBI also commonly damage the vestibular system and the neck muscles and joints. This can create severe sensory mismatches. This can affect some or all of these systems simultaneously.
Mal De Debarquement Syndrome is a type of vertigo that creates a rocking sensation, as if the individual is constantly on a boat. This is the result of a mismatch between the two types of vestibular receptors, the Otoliths and the Vestibular Canals, along with dysfunction in the brain and brainstem systems that make these receptors work together.
Vertigo can also be the result of migraine headaches, or more insidious brain problems such as tumor or stroke. In some cases, dizziness and vertigo can be a consequence of prescription medications and their interactions, or even from certain dietary supplements.
At The BRAIN Center our goal is to rehabilitate the brain and receptor mechanisms that may be creating the mismatch, and make them integrate properly with other systems. In other cases, our goal is to teach the brain to adapt to the impaired reflexes, and teach it to rely on other mechanisms to maintain balance and decrease the vertigo sensations.
Treatment starts with a comprehensive neurological examination, followed by cutting-edge neurodiagnostic testing. We use several advanced technologies to map and graph the function of every system involved in your vertigo, including important visual reflexes, vestibular function, and the feedback from your muscles and joints. We assess how these systems integrate in several different balance conditions. This allows us to precisely identify and quantify which systems are creating the mismatch, how they integrate, and the exact circumstances under which their integration fails.
We then create a neurorehabilitation program that is unique to your condition, and specific to your individual pattern of dysfunction and fatigability.
At The BRAIN Center, we perform comprehensive evaluations which include advanced technology to assess the functionality of different areas of the brain and how each area of the brain communicates with one another.
As a consequence of the evaluation, a customized management plan is created with the goal of increasing the strength and efficiency of specific connections in the brain which may be underdeveloped and/or not working optimally.
Neurodegenerative disease is an umbrella term for a range of conditions which primarily affect the neurons in the human brain and spinal cord. Some examples of neurodegenerative conditions are Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease and other Parkinson’s related disorders, prion disease and other neuro-infectious disorders, motor neuron diseases, Huntington disease, spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and spinal muscular atrophy. Currently, many neurodegenerative disorders are incurable and debilitating conditions that continue to progress over time.
At The BRAIN Center, we assess the functionality of different areas of the brain. This allows us to understand which areas of the brain are still viable and functioning versus other areas which may have been damaged.
A customized management plan is then implemented to help strengthen the available brain circuits with the hope of increasing function and slowing progression.
Commonly, we co-manage patients with their medical providers, and we focus on improving functions such as balance/fall prevention, walking/gait, coordination, memory, speech, dizziness, visual problems, digestion, fatigue, pain and a variety of movement disorders.
When conventional pain management interventions fail, patients are often left without direction where to turn next. While in some cases these offer relief, there are still a large number of pain syndromes that persist without relief.
So, where do you turn if you’re one of the many individuals with chronic pain syndromes which have not responded to conventional pain management therapy?
Regardless of the location or cause of chronic pain, many patients will develop altered patterns of brain activity, which may result in occupational disabilities, insomnia, cognitive deficits, depression, anxiety, and ultimately a diminished quality of life.
The BRAIN Center utilizes a combination of neuroscience, physical modalities, biotechnology and pain management approaches to effectively treat a wide range of common pain conditions.
By treating the body and brain simultaneously, clients often experience unusually rapid reductions in pain and improvements in function, even after a long-history of chronic pain and multiple, prior surgeries.
Migraines can seem complicated, but they often can be very simple. There is only one main cause for migraines: Neurological Dysfunction. However, there are 3 main triggers: Dietary, Musculoskeletal and/or Hormonal. To treat migraines effectively, you need to address both the cause and all 3 triggers at the same time.
Hormonal: The hormonal correlation with migraine is well known, but how to address hormones is still an ongoing area of debate. Many of our patients are prescribed birth control or hormone replacement therapies (HRT) which can be helpful in some cases. Unfortunately, there is also research concerning the long-term effects of these treatments which may lead to other health complications. Many female patients report flares in symptoms around the beginning of their cycle, which is why estrogen is frequently prescribed.
However, we often find low estrogen to be associated with a bigger problem. Often migraine patients have an increased response to stress. This causes resources required for estrogen production to instead be converted to stress hormones. Therefore, The BRAIN Center utilizes a ‘top down’ approach when assessing hormones by performing comprehensive hormonal panels to identify the underlying cause.
Dietary: Healthy diet and removal of common ‘triggers’ is essential for migraine treatment. However, many patients often report having tried every type of dietary modification without results. It’s important to understand that nutritional changes are often just a piece of the puzzle. For some, this may produce profound outcomes. For others, there are additional underlying factors which must be addressed. So, if you’re one of the many migraine sufferers who have not responded to dietary modification there is still hope.
Musculoskeletal: Increased musculoskeletal stress on the body will make a person more likely to experience migraine. Therefore, research shows positive outcomes for migraine with almost any type of manual therapy. An important consideration, however, is that different types of manual therapy can have a very different impact of the neurological structures central to the onset your migraines. No two patients are the same, therefore, treatment recommendations must be individually tailored. This is why a thorough functional examination is important to understanding which treatment interventions will be most beneficial.
Neurological: Individuals with migraine have a known genetic predisposition. It has been outlined that migraineurs have an altered brain state different from individuals who do not experience migraine, even when they are not having symptoms. Groups of cells in the brain are more predisposed to fatigue or fail in these circumstances, leading to various symptoms associated with migraine. For example, if your genetic predisposition is in the area associated with sight, you’ll have visual symptoms. If this is an area associated with balance, you can experience dizziness. The underlying pathology is basically the same, however it impacts different parts of the brain and brainstem.
To fix migraines it's essential to identify the areas of the brain that are functionally not as healthy as others and stimulate that part of the brain at an appropriate level. Too much stimulation can actually lead to a migraine, and too little won’t make much of an impact. This is why The BRAIN Center uses a graduated approach in which some people will be given a great amount of stimulation right away, and some get very little.
The key is to continually strengthen these parts of the brain. The other aspect of the brain has to do with injury and general neurological dysfunction. It is very common, for example, to see someone who gets in a car accident or has had a concussion to have a noticeable increase in migraines. It’s not that these injuries caused migraine, but the stress on the brain and nervous system makes them more likely to have migraine. This can also happen with vestibular imbalances, difficulty with eye or head movements, or difficulty with motion. Improving these aspects will help move you down the spectrum of migraine to have less and less.

LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (LeMaitre), a cardiovascular devices company, has reported net sales of $48.7 million for the full year of 2008, compared with the net sales of $41.4 million in the previous year-end. It also reported a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.21 per share, for the full year of 2008, compared with the net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.19 per share, in the previous year-end.
Fourth quarter of 2008 sales were $12.1 million, a 9% increase versus Q4 2007 (+11% excluding foreign exchange and acquisitions). Sales increased 6% in the company’s Endovascular category and 12% in Vascular while sales decreased 1% in General Surgery. Endovascular was driven by the TAArget and UniFit stent grafts, and partially offset by the weak Euro. Vascular benefited from the inclusion of the Albograft (acquired December 2007) and strong results from the Remote Endarterectomy devices. International business drove the top line in Q4 2008, accounting for 44% of sales.
Sales in 2008 increase was driven by the inclusion of the company’s 2007 acquisitions, acceleration of stent graft sales in Europe, and the stronger Euro for the full year. Geographically, several international subsidiaries experienced significant growth: France (+52%), the U.K. (+41%), and Japan (+36%).
Q4 2008 operating income was $354,000 versus a loss of $1.3 million in Q4 2007. This improvement was due largely to the 2008 Expense Shave program and associated headcount reductions. Operating expenses fell 15% from $9.5 million in Q4 2007 to $8.1 million in Q4 2008. The $354,000 Q4 operating profit extended the 2008 bottom-line turnaround, comparing favorably with the Q1 operating loss of $2.6 million, the Q2 operating loss of $869,000 and the Q3 operating profit of $170,000.
For the full year, the company reduced its operating loss to $2.9 million from $4.3 million in 2007. This $1.4 million year-over-year improvement was due to the 18% sales gain coupled with the 2008 Expense Shave program and headcount reductions.
The company reported net income of $312,000 in Q4 2008, or $0.02 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in Q4 2007.
The company’s cash and marketable securities increased by $2.1 million during Q4 2008 to $21.3 million. This increase was driven principally by net income of $312,000, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation of $566,000, as well as a $1.1 million inventory reduction.
The company reported a gross margin of 69.6% in Q4 2008, decreased from 73.3% in Q4 2007, but up from 67.4% in Q3 2008. The decrease from 2007 was largely a result of the inclusion of the AlboGraft sales in Q4 2008, manufacturing inefficiencies, and continued strength in the company’s international business, where the weak Euro pressured margins.
Sales and marketing expenses down 17% to $4.4 million in Q4 2008 from $5.3 million in Q4 2007. Sales and marketing expenses were 36% of revenue in Q4 2008, compared to 48% in the year-earlier quarter. The company ended Q4 2008 with 52 sales representatives.
General and administrative expenses decreased 13% to $2.3 million in Q4 2008 from $2.6 million in Q4 2007, the result of general belt-tightening.
R&D expenses up 11% to $1.3 million in Q4 2008 from $1.2 million in Q4 2007, as the company continued to invest in clinical and regulatory personnel, as well as product development.
The company projects 2009 sales of $50.0 – $50.5 million and 2009 operating income of $1.5 million. Excluding foreign exchange and acquisitions, this sales guidance implies year-over-year growth of 8% – 9% in 2009.

Side by side the two units are the same size as conventional HiFi. The casing is the same size as the Melco D100 CD loader and the E100 Expansion drive.
The power supply has an IEC 3 wire mains supply with a defined ground reference point. Connectivity between the Power Unit and the Head Unit is by flexible cord with Neutrik multi-pin connectors.
The metalwork is designed around a solid aluminium case, including solid aluminium end cheeks.
A new low profile mainboard uses the same RISC processor and architecture as the N1Z series, twin Ethernet ports are retained with the dedicated Ethernet Player port connecting directly to the network player without an intervening data switch, “…ensuring that packet order and timing is maintained,” said the company.
Internal storage is 3TB HDD, expandable by either IT USB HDD or the Melco E100. Additional E100 increases capacity in steps of 3TB. USB connected DAC allows the N10 to perform as a self-contained local HiRes Digital Music player. Data rates up to 32bit/384kHz and Octo DSD are supported. All Gapless and with Melco Markerless DSD fully supported.
Control of the USB-DAC player is from the new Melco App, from the front panel or from approved third-party RF Remote handset. The N10 will operate with both USB DAC and also Ethernet connected players even without connection to a data network – in standalone Isolated Mode.
You can initiate CD import with either the Melco D100 external CD loader or IT grade Optical drive. Melco does not put an IT grade loader inside N10 as it, “…both compromises sound quality and also reduces reliability due to disposable nature of IT drives,” said the company. Meanwhile, music backup is achieved via plugging in a USB HDD and pressing one button.

An Act to make further provision as respects the [Senior Courts] and county courts, judges and juries, to establish a Crown Court as part of the [Senior Courts] to try indictments and exercise certain other jurisdiction, to abolish courts of assize and certain other courts and to deal with their jurisdiction and other consequential matters, and to amend in other respects the law about courts and court proceedings.
The Courts Act 1971 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (c 23) the purpose of which was to reform and modernise the courts system of England and Wales.
It established the Crown Court, introduced the posts of circuit judge and recorder, and abolished various local courts across the country. Many of its provisions have since been repealed by the Senior Courts Act 1981, but the essential structure described in the Act is still in place.
The first part of the Act concerns the new Crown Court. It is established as part of the Supreme Court of Judicature, replacing courts of assize and Quarter Sessions. The appellate jurisdiction of these courts is transferred, and the new court given exclusive jurisdiction in "trial on indictment". It is described as a "superior court of record" for England and Wales. This section has now been superseded by the Senior Courts Act 1981.
The officers of these courts were generally eligible to become circuit judges.
The post of circuit judge is introduced in the second part of the Act. They sit in the Crown Court and county courts, are appointed by the monarch on the Lord Chancellor's advice, and retire at the age of 72 (this has now been changed to 70 by the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993). The Lord Chancellor may also sack a circuit judge on the grounds of "incapacity or misbehaviour". Judges are to have a salary and pension, and must take an oath of office. The act also introduces part-time Crown Court judges, known as recorders, who are similarly appointed by the Lord Chancellor.
The fourth part of the Courts Act governs the selection of juries and related rules; it has since been repealed by the Juries Act 1974. Most of the remainder of the Act is about other miscellaneous administrative provisions relating to appointments, payment, and accommodation; these have almost all been repealed by the Supreme Court Act and other justice legislation.
^ The citation of this Act by this short title is authorised by section 59(1) of this Act.
^ The words in brackets were substituted on 1 October 2009 by the sections 59 and 148 of, and paragraph 4 of Schedule 11 to, the Constitutional Reform Act 2005. As to commencement see articles 2(b) and (d) of SI 2009/1604.
