Until I actually held the 'Talk' CD in my hands, I had no idea who was going to be on this album. Without the help of the internet in those days, I'd read in USA Today or something that the album was coming out, but, they hadn't mentioned who was still in the band! Frankly, I was really hoping that it was still the eight man band from 'Union,' making a proper album - though, even in my ignorant bliss, I realized that this was wishful thinking at best.
I've since heard an interview with Jon done during his South American (I think?) tour in '92 or '93 (?) where he mentions that Tony Kaye AND Rick Wakeman are still in the band and that the music they're working on for the new album requires two keyboardists!
They had their production/stage manger under the drum riser on the Talk tour. His name was Robbie Eagle. He lives in Denver and has worked with King Crimson and the B-52s (I know weird combo). Also the Boxing Gandhi's. He played some keys, but mostly played sampled background tracks to fill in sound. Met him in Little Rock, AR through his brother John.
Yes will be introducing 'Concertsonics'. This will enable those sitting in certain areas to receive what they say is 'an exceptionally distinctive, high-quality mix of enhanced audio through a personal "Walkman Style" portable radio with headphones.' Unfortunately if you're sitting outside the main area then the sound may be slightly out of phase; since this is an experiment and Yes only recently received FCC approval to do this they were not able to sell tickets accordingly, so those who already have purchased tickets will not really know if they are sitting in the correct area. This is assembled in conjunction with longtime Yes sound associates Clair Bros Audio.
In addition there will be radio promotions where listeners can win tickets in these sections along with headphones and FM receivers.
1. What exactly is Concertsonics?
An experimental broadcast of the show's live audio program. Ticket buyers in the pre-arranged section who have headphones and an FM receiver will be able to tune in and hear the special stereo broadcast of the show. They will experience a new dimension in sound unheard before in a live concert environment.
2. Which seats will receive this transmission?
Optimally, a designated section of seats approximately 25 feet deep by approximately 60 - 80 feet wide. Other areas may receive the broadcast but the audio time delay will only be correct for the designated area.
3. How much extra will it cost me to participate?
Nothing extra if you own the headsets and FM receiver or win them as part of a radio station promotion. The ticket price is not increased in any way for the qualifying sections.
4. Has anyone done this before?
No. Not in a concert hall environment.
5. Can I keep the headphones?
If you win the headphones and FM receiver they are yours to keep.
6. Why is Yes doing this?
Innovation has always been something that Yes has strived for. Yes are always interested in giving their audience production values never before experienced.
Very clean audio with good stereo effects and almost no blurring of the sonics by the room and audience.
8. What if my tickets aren't in the headphone area?
You may still be able to hear the broadcast, but it may sound a little "echoey" or out of sync outside the designated area.
9. Am I obligated to listen to the whole show with the headphones?
No. The system is designated to enhance the show and may be used at your preference.
10. Do the headsets need to be exactly like the ones they are giving away on the radio?
The system will work best if the headsets match those issued by YES/The Radio Station, but others may work also. Generally, as a rule of thumb, superior quality earphones and receivers should be used such as a Sony SRF-M43 AM/FM Walkman Radio. If you use anything else, you are on your own. This is why we call this an experiment. As a minimum requirement, however, your receiver should have two AA batteries, not one.
11. Can I bring a boom box?
I heard on the radio this morning (as I was waking up, so forgive me for any misinformation in this post) that there will be a "special" mix broadcast over low power FM. Concert goers will either be given radio receivers and headphones or will be allowed to bring FM radios to listen to the special ix. This seems like a problem, having people bringing in their Walkmen into the concert hall and taping the "Special" mix right at the show! Also, it is unlikely, but they might have problems with the wireless guitar and bass systems that Rabin and Squire use. Finally, I think that the PA system will drown out anything you could hear in your headphones. I hazily remember the idea being that you could get a better sound out of the headphones than the PA. I can't imagine how they will get this to work successfully.
Is it me, or are the Yes ticket prices a bit high this tour?
THIS time around, you have Yes-West, 90125-band, The Trevor Revue, Cinema, or *whatever* the hell you wanna call them, for $29.50!!! That seems *very* high, in my opinion. Are they not expecting to sell many tickets, and are therefore raising prices?
Maybe they are taking Pink Floyd's lead. When I saw Pink Floyd on April 22, tickets were $32.50 apiece, and that was for sub-par seats. Yes West can, by no means, be compared with Pink Floyd or, for that matter, the 8-member Union band.
*sigh* maybe they know that we'll pay for tickets no matter what, who knows.
Copyright � 1994 Notes From The Edge #122/Jeff Hunnicutt and Mike Tiano.
MOT: The band on this last tour is the tightest I've seen in years, but despite this a lot of the venues didn't seem to sell that well from what we've heard from people on the Internet. Some online fans said they didn't know about the show until practically the last minute. Did the problem lie in promotion?
AW: I think we fell into a trap this year. The band has always been a steady selling kind of act, and obviously with tours like UNION where they want to see the spectacle of everybody playing together we sold a lot more tickets. We decided this time to do it with this format, so what I believe is we fell into the trap; there's been like five bands, you know, the Eagles, Pink Floyd, those kind of concerts that have been charging enormous figures for tickets, like eighty-five, a hundred dollars, and stuff like that. So we fell into the trap of the people, the extra people, other than the cult fans that come to our concerts, to see what the band is all about that couldn't afford it, basically. I think we ran into that pretty much right through the tour. Funnily enough in South America the band did great, and in Japan the band did great too. Plus in Japan we played a couple of new areas we'd never played before which were kind of a little bit slack, but most of the gigs there were very good because the album did very well in Japan. But I think we fell into the trap of just too many people out in the market and they could only decide to go to a certain amount of concerts that year, and I think a lot of Yes fans came and enjoyed what we were doing. But it was slack, we must admit that, but apparently we were doing same or if not better business than a lot of bands that were out at the same time. But obviously we like to see the places full.
MOT: What about those fans who say they didn't know about the show until close to show date?
AW: That confuses me because it's not our job and we hear these things all the time, that on the business end of things people are not doing their job, and it's usually the local promoters that that is allocated to, and if they see that a concert is going to do this much business because they see what the reaction is to the tickets going on sale sometimes instead of putting more money into it they just don't put any money into it because they knew the nature and the climate of what the business was like that summer, and they all talk to each other, all of these promoters. So once you see these guys talking to each other and stuff like that, and they say, 'Well, it's a little slack on Yes, and do I spend more money here, or do I not spend any money,' kind of thing, and I think we fell into that trap too, this summer.
MOT: Do you think it affected the band, seeing these venues weren't all that full?
AW: No. I don't think it affected the band at all because every night the band played as tight and had a good time on stage because this band doesn't get affected by things like a lack of audience. Most nights you know you see if it's a half house or something like that, that's fine for us; it's when it's like 800 people we start getting worried, or something like that, but it's never really been like that, we always play to the full because I think everybody in the band has a reputation individually and a standard to live up to between each other and collectively together towards the public that has to be respected so I think every night we come up with a good...so, no, I don't think it affected us. I think Jon got a little, kind of dismayed about some of the lack of attendances at one time, but at the same time he was totally, every night he was there singing and he's totally into the band from this tour; I mean he's totally into everybody's playing and everything the band was doing collectively together.

What is the limit that cannot be exceeded when transferring funds between TDBank and another financial institution?
I wish to transfer funds, between TDBank and another institution but I receive an error message when I try. The amount I have in my account exceeds what I am trying to transfer (meaning I have sufficient funds). Although I receive an error message stating that I have exceeded the amount I can transfer, it does not identify the limit. For instance, the other institution I use displays the maximum transfer limit on the transfer submission page. Is there a page, within this website, that provides similar information with regards to TDBank's policy? I've read past threads, asking similar question, but cannot find the answer within the hyperlinks provided.
Great question, Pedro, welcome to TD Helps! We'd be happy to help. If the type of transfer your are initiating is an External Transfer via your Online Banking, which is a transfer from your TD account to an account you have with another Financial Institution. To locate your limit, please log onto your account here: http://bit.ly/1eaISlq. Select the "Transfer" tab, then "Transfer to Accounts Outside TD Bank." Please select the green "information" button is located next to the "Amount" field. A window will appear showing your transfer option limits. If you are initiating a transfer via our Person-to-Person payment feature, which is a transfer from your TD account to a family member or friend who banks with TD or another Financial Institution, after you select the party you are sending funds to, a "View Limits" hyperlink will appear beside the "Amount" field. Please click on the hyperlink, and once you do so, a window will appear showing your transfer option limits. We hope this helps Pedro. Please let us know if you have any other questions and have a great day!
Perfect! I followed your instructions and found the information that I needed. Thank you.
You're welcome, Pedro! We're glad to hear our reply helped. If you have any banking questions down the line, feel free to visit us again! Have a great night.

Q: How do you pass a function as a parameter of a function swift? Looking to pass a function as a parameter (like an onCompletion) that will be invoked as part of the function call in Swift (similar to javascript closures). What's the best practice here?
Code:
func didFinishFunc(onCompletion: func) {
    func()
}

func onCompletionFunc()
{
    print("completed.")
}

func caller()
{
   didFinishFunc(onCompletion: onCompletionFunc)
}

// caller is called
caller()

A: You can define your function like this.
func didFinishFunc(onCompletion: () -> Void) {
    // your function implementation here

    onCompletion()
}

This function takes in a closure (sometimes called a callback or anonymous function in other languages) as a parameter. This closure has no parameters and no return value.
If you want the closure to have parameters you could do something like this:
func didFinishFunc(onCompletion: (String, Int) -> Void) {
    // your function implementation here

    onCompletion("foo", 5)
}

This function takes in two parameters a String and an Int.
If you want the closure to have a return type, change the type (above it is Void) after the ->.

A: Use Swift closure. E.g.
func didFinishFunc(onCompletion handler: () -> Void) {
    handler()
}

See The Swift Programming Language: Closures.

This bouquet wasn't exuberant when I received it the other evening. It was quietly waiting for me at Studio 77— a gift from my loving family at the opening of my show — tightly wrapped in cellophane and tied with raffia. But once unwrapped and left to its own devices in a vase, it has slowly opened into the most beautiful expression of spring that I've ever seen. Unlike the past-their-prime discounted grocery store blooms that I buy for myself, these are the real deal. Tall tulips, bright daffodils, elegant irises. I want to enjoy their beauty for as long as I can.
As for the show, the vernissage was a success on all accounts — a great crowd, good wine and lots of positive feedback. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and to David at Studio 77 for the hospitality and the opportunity to exhibit. The show continues until April 29.
Congratulations, Shari! I'd have loved to have seen your exhibition. Pity I live so far away. I asked a friend of mine who lives in Brossard to visit Studio 77 to see your work.
Pam, I wish you could have been here! I guess you still have friends here from your Montreal days. Great to hear from you.
Congratulations! Beautiful gift and beautiful painting. Love the way you captured the flowers!
Thanks so much Jean. It was a wonderful gift.
Congrats on your successful show!!! Now if we could get a workshop that includes florals… this is beatifull, again.
Gil, we can certainly arrange that. If you supply the flowers I will teach you how to paint them. But it seems to me that your flower paintings are already very beautiful.
Love these flowers, Shari. I would have loved to have watched you paint these. Congratulations on your show!
Thanks so much Sue. The show is going really well!!
HI Sue, I have no plans to come out west anytime soon. This summer I will be in Europe!. Thanks for your nice wishes.
Shari This is just stunning – great idea to preserve your family's considerate gift as well.
They are beautiful Shari, good luck with your exhibition.
Lovely flowers. I ,too, wish I could be there. Hope you sell well. Congrats.
Thanks Judy. And things are selling which is an added bonus!
Congratulations, Shari. Your work is wonderful and some day I'll be close enough to see it in person which will be awesome.
Holly, that would be great. I'd love to meet you after all this time communicating on the blog.
I'm working on it Shari. And if you are ever coming through Connecticut contact me before you set out. We could easily put you up at our house here in New Hartford. We are 6+ hours from Montreal and 2+ from New York City.
Just went to the show. Lovely venu and amazing paintings. Are you still trying oils?
Thanks so much for visiting Suzy. I haven't worked much in oils recently. It's really hard to find the time with my full time job. I should probably just work really small instead of getting overly ambitious!
Really beautiful. I'm sure the show is too. Sorry we couldn't be there to enjoy it.
Thanks Jeff. I am looking forward to seeing you both very soon!!
What a lovely rendition of the bouquet! An example of why your show is a well deserved success! Congrats on all your achievements.
So glad your reception was a success!!! Lovely painting of the beautiful flowers. I smiled as I read your description of them slowly opening up.
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! I like how you cropped the flowers to fill the page with blooms. Wish I lived closer. Seeing your work up close would be awesome. You are greatly blessed.
I wish you lived closer too Bernadette. It would be so nice to meet you in person.
Shari- did you add white to this bouquet? Around the rim of glass etc? Do you ever use gouache?
Hi Cindy, There's no white in this. It's painted on rough paper so I use the texture to keep some bits of white but using a dryer brush in places. I do occasionally use gouache but more often I add bits of white with some Titanium White watercolour.
Congratulations on your show. I would have loved to attend. Alas, too far away. Thank you for being so prolific. The bouquet is wonderful.
Thanks Ellen! I would have loved to have you at the show!

Senators pass bill to join water contamination lawsuit

Senators passed a bill to allow the government to hire an attorney to help Guam in a potential drinking water contamination lawsuit.
After several hours speaking with various government of Guam agencies in the committee of the whole Wednesday afternoon senators approved the bill with a vote of 14 and one excused absence.
Some senators had concerns about not having a public hearing, but ultimately voted to pass the bill after speaking with the agencies.
Attorney General Leevin Camacho urged lawmakers Wednesday to pass a bill to allow the government to hire an attorney to help Guam in a potential drinking water contamination lawsuit.
Legislators brought Camacho and other heads of various government of Guam agencies to the Guam Congress Building to discuss the urgency of passing the bill without a public hearing.
"I am pleased with the outcome of the special session and vote to pass this bill. We are ready to work and keep the upcoming process as transparent as possible," Camacho said in a statement after the vote.
Several lawmakers voiced their concern about not having a public hearing for the bill and had already voted against not moving forward with the bill on Monday because of it.
Senators had scheduled a public hearing for the bill for next Tuesday and wanted to know why it was so urgent to pass the bill without public input.
Waive public hearing requirement
Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero on Monday called for a special session and requested a waiver of the public hearing requirement expressing urgency in getting the bill approved.

However, senators on Monday with a vote of 8-to-6, denied moving the bill for a vote expressing concerns that a public hearing should be held for the bill.
The governor is seeking Guam's inclusion in multi-state lawsuits against manufacturers of chemicals that she said have been known to contaminate drinking water across the nation.
She was referring to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, in Guam's water.
"I am convinced that our window of opportunity to assert our position in any multi-district litigation is even smaller than I had initially believed," the governor said in a letter to senators Monday morning.

Jeopardizing the case
Camacho said Guam could lose its opportunity to join a multi-district litigation that could provide the island funding to mitigate PFAS contamination.
"If you miss a deadline you could be barred from filing a claim," he said.
He said it could also jeopardize the thoroughness of the complaint filed.
"I can't tell the Legislature you have to file. If you would rather jeopardize the ability for Guam to put forward it's best case that's up to you," Camacho told lawmakers.
Vice Speaker Telena Nelson in response said Camacho shouldn't question what is a priority for the Legislature and is sure the issue is a priority.
Costs to GWA
Guam Waterworks Authority General Manager Miguel Bordallo said three of its wells were closed down because of PFAS contamination.
One of the wells, located in Tiyan, has been brought back online with a system that is able to filter out the contaminants before it goes out, he said.
Bordallo said it cost about $200,000 for the material, equipment and labor to refurbish the well to bring it back online.
He said it will cost about $100,000 to $200,000 annually in monitoring the well and replacing the carbon filters.
Bordallo said the other two wells located in Hagåtña are close together and GWA is looking at about $700,000 to $1 million for a treatment system to bring both back online.
He said bond funding and ratepayers paid for the Tiyan well to be brought back online.
If Guam is able to get relief through the litigation it could be used to get the wells back online.
Camacho said if Guam doesn't move forward with litigation it could later file suit, but by then the companies being sued could go bankrupt and the island would get no relief.
He said his office needs time to evaluate firms and it will take some time so as soon as the bill can be approved the better.
Speaker Tina Muña Barnes, who was among those who voted against going into a recess on Monday, said GovGuam has less than 25 business days to be a part of the multi-district litigation.
The court has set a deadline of Aug. 4 to add new parties to the existing cases, she said.
The speaker said by acting expediently, GovGuam avails itself of the opportunity to seek adequate counsel to represent its people.
Leon Guerrero in a letter Wednesday urged legislators to act urgently on the bill to protect the waters of Guam.
More: Senators defy governor's call to vote quickly on water contamination lawsuit bill
Nelson said some senators are concerned about moving the bill forward without a public hearing and want to hear from the agencies in the committee of the whole to understand why the bill is urgent.
She requested they provide the legislature information about the contamination and so the public can hear why senators should waive the public hearing requirement.
The governor said the federal government knows PFAS has been linked to significant health problems, ranging from elevated cholesterol to reproductive harm, developmental delays and an increased risk of certain cancers.
In recent years, several of Guam's water wells have had high levels of perfluorooctane sulfonate, a type of PFAS, the governor said.
While the Guam Waterworks Authority has continued to address water purity by fitting affected wells with mitigating devices and closing others, the issue of responsibility remains unaddressed and with no action plan, she said.

BEAUTIFUL IS ABSOLUTE
For over half a century, the name DBS has meant just one thing: the ultimate production Aston Martin. A DBS is a distilled concentrate of all that has made Aston Martin not just one of the most coveted brands in the automotive sphere, but in all fields of endeavour, right around the world.
Now the new DBS Superleggera has arrived. Its beauty leaves no room for doubt. Its power cannot be reasoned with.
Aggressive, yet beautiful. Super lightweight, yet powerfully strong. A commanding presence, yet lavishly finished.
BEAUTIFULLY BRUTAL
DBS has long signified the utmost in elegance and speed, comfort and performance. The new DBS Superleggera is a meticulously handcrafted Grand Tourer with beauty and performance in equal measure. No fraction is compromised.
The DBS Superleggera will leave you in awe. Its beauty is absolute.
MENACINGLY ATTRACTIVE
Convention says form and function are opposing interests. The DBS Superleggera proves otherwise. The shape is unmistakably Aston Martin, but stronger, broader and more muscular than ever, not at a stylists whim but to cool and control the most powerful production Aston Martin ever.
THE ARCHITECTURE OF BEAUTIFUL
Power without control is power that is squandered, which is why the DBS Superleggera is a master at making the most of the vast resources the V12 places at its disposal. It starts with a chassis of enormous rigidity and continues with a classic double wishbone front suspension, a geometrically optimal multilink rear axle and an even more stable stance thanks to a track that is 10mm wider than the DB11 at the front and 20mm wider at the rear.
TAKEN BY ITS BEAUTY
The DBS Superleggera is dominated by a breath-taking hexagonal grille, combining a sense of unbounded strength with the most natural beauty. This sets the visual agenda for the entire car while simultaneously feeding the insatiable appetite for oxygen of the mighty 715bhp engine.
A WHOLE NEW REALM OF LUXURY
Where others stop, we start. Settle into the sumptuous, leather upholstered interior of the DBS Superleggera and see how our high-performance seats support your body to perfection. In both the driver and passenger seat you are home before the journey has even commenced.
STRONGEST LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS
Typically, as a car gets faster, it requires more cooling, larger brakes and stronger suspension, which inevitably results in increased weight. The DBS Superleggera begs to differ. Naturally it has been upgraded in all areas required to handle its phenomenal performance, but not by merely adding more of the same, instead using the finest, strongest lightweight materials.

Air Canada's VIP Travellers met with Commission by Gavin Lynch
Categories: Ideas
Tatar Art Projects had the pleasure to work with Air Canada and designer, Heeykung Duquette, to commission an exceptional artwork as the focal point for their new VIP lounge, opened on December 1st, at Pearson Airport.
TAP was tasked with identifying a canadian artist whose work could celebrate the life and vibrancy of the canadian landscape. gavin's contemplative work will be seen by countless international travellers and we are very proud to have been part of this prominent commission.
– JUDITH TATAR, CREATIVE DIRECTOR, TAP
Selected from a short list of six artists, Lynch's "That Place to which we always Return, 2017" was selected by Air Canada to be feature in the new lounge. "The viewer is guided from abstracted woods at the extremities of the painting to a clearing in the centre," comments Ottawa-based Lynch. "The clearing is a contemplative space for lounge visitors to perhaps think about their many journeys, personal and physical."

Q: Can mySugr Coach help me count carbs at dinner tonight?
A: Your coach can boost your carb counting kung-fu, but can't provide on-the-spot carb counting services for you. You'll still have to do the counting yourself. Sorry for that.
Q: Are there limits to how often I can message my coach?
A: Nope! You have unlimited access to your very own diabetes coach, right on your smartphone. Super cool.
Q: Isn't it weird, intimidating or creepy to have someone else digging through my diabetes details?
A: You don't have to do diabetes alone! You can have someone in your corner who's willing to jump in and get their hands dirty on your behalf. High-level athletes have coaches, right? You deserve that too.

REDHEAD BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD - 7 CD-AUDIOS
Random audio prh us
From the beloved and best-selling Anne Tyler, a sparkling new novel about misperception, second chances, and the sometimes elusive power of human connection. Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life. But one day his routines are blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a "girlfriend") tells him she's facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah's meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever. An intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes, Redhead by the Side of the Road is a triumph, filled with Anne Tyler's signature wit and gimlet-eyed observation.

Palette 2™ has six homing switches in its hardware: four at each input, one positioned near the outgoing, and one positioned right after the cutter wheel.
The instructions below are in the rare instances where a switch needs to be replaced.
Please note: Each homing switch is connected to the electronics tray through a wire. When removing the homing switch, please secure the wire by holding it or taping it to the substructure so that the wire does not fall through the opening. If the wire does fall through and you're unable to retrieve it, please follow the instructions here to remove Palette 2's back plate.
With the top lid removed, remove the acrylic plate covering the homing switches by loosening the thumbscrews counterclockwise.
Once you have access to the homing switch, remove the screw holding the homing switch to Palette 2's casing.
Position a tool (such as a screwdriver, pliers, etc.) under the homing switch to lift it up and out of Palette 2. The switch will be connected to a wire which can be disconnected, but be careful to secure the wiring so that it does not fall into the casing.
Replace with a replacement homing switch. The wiring will only fit in one orientation.
There is a locating pin that needs to be pushed into the hole before replacing the screw. Set the homing switch back down and replace the screw.
Bonjour, ou je peux acheter un commutateur de prix d'origine entrée N ° 2, il commence déjà à être KO, la palette n'a que 2 semaine !!!!!!!!!!
Bonjour Red, merci de nous envoyer un message (support@mosaicmfg.com) et nous pouvons vous fournir un commutateur si nécessaire.

Q: How to create a factory that takes references in the initialization with FactoryGirl? I am looking for a way to convert the following to a factory:
client = Client.new(application.uid, application.secret,
                    site:'http://localhost:3000', raise_errors:false)

Factory for the application:
FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :application do
    name         'Test application'
    redirect_uri 'http://another-site.com/redirect'
  end
end

The application attributes uid and secret are not defined in the factory, but upon creation.
The following does not work (raises undefined method 'application'):
FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :client do
    site         'http://localhost:3000'
    raise_errors  false

    initialize_with{new(application.uid, application.secret, attributes)}
  end
end

A: I think i'm missinterpreting your question, but this code works fine. Might be because I've made application available to the Factory as per max pleaner's comment:
client.rb
require 'factory_girl'

class Application
        attr_accessor :uid
        attr_accessor :secret
end

class Client
        attr_accessor :uid
        attr_accessor :secret
        attr_accessor :extended

        def initialize (uid, secret, extended)
                @uid = uid
                @secret = secret
                @extended = extended
        end
end

application = Application.new
application.uid = 123
application.secret = "secret"

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :application do
    name         'Test application'
    redirect_uri 'http://another-site.com/redirect'
  end
end

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :client do
    site         'http://localhost:3000'
    raise_errors  false

    initialize_with{new(application.uid, application.secret, attributes)}
  end
end

Code runs fine from console with ruby client.rb

STIPA has become the industry standard for measuring the Speech Transmission Index. The Bedrock SM50 STIPA meter is the device that many have been waiting for: finally a STIPA meter that is accurate, reliable and affordable at the same time! Designed from scratch by the very team that invented STIPA and was responsible for the development of the Speech Transmission Index for the last few decades.
The SM50, with its full-coulour touch screen, is easy to use and understand even to first-time users of to the Speech Transmission Index. The casual STI user will not have to deal with impossible key combinations, complex calibration procedures and other discomforts that people have come to expect from STI measuring tools. To the contrary: the SM50 is easy to use, intuitive and almost plug-and-play. At the same time, even seasoned STI experts will find every feature they ever wanted.
The SM50 was designed from the ground up by the inventors of STIPA, and is a fully compliant Speech Transmission Index measuring device as specified in IEC-60268-16 4th ed. (2011). It offers two STIPA measuring modes: a quick screening mode, optimized for ease of use and for quick use, and a "Pro" mode that offers the most complete and versatile functionality of any Speech Transmission Index measurement to date.
In addition, the SM50 is also a fully compliant class 2 sound level meter and real-time analyzer. All functions featured on the Bedrock SM30 instrument are also included on the Bedrock SM50, perhaps making this the only acoustic measuring instrument you'll ever need.
The Bedrock STIPAmeter SM50 can be bought through any of our distributors. Feel free to contact us directly if no distributor is listed for your region. The SM50 is shipped worldwide with our global 24-month pick-up and return warranty.


Yes! I finally did it! Ok, maybe if I had non-homogenized milk the results will be better but nonetheless, it was good enough for me.
Here's what happened. Wendy gave a challenge and I took it. This is my 2nd attempt with 2 tries. Both successful. The last attempt I did it 5 times. All failed.
For both attempts, I used the same brand of milk. Pasteurized and homogenized. Milk content includes Fat 3.6g/100ml and Protein 3.1g/100ml.
This time round, I used old ginger. Yup, I used young ginger previously and have indeed proven that it simply couldn't work. The older the better as the juice is more concentrated and yellowish.
This time round, I ensured that there's HIGH impact between the milk and the ginger juice. I poured the milk from a height of at least 10cm, splattering some parts onto the table top. On a side note, there was a Beijing TV clip on this pouring "impact", joking that though it's called 姜汁撞奶 (Ginger Juice Hit/Bump Milk), in actual fact, only 奶撞姜汁 (Milk Hit/Bump Ginger Juice) will work. How corny.
And not sure if this helped too but this time round, I measured accurately the amount of ginger juice I used with a weighing scale instead of going by the spoon since I need to pour the milk at one go. Again, I can't use too much milk in this little experiment of mine or else dear Hubby will not have enough milk for his breakfast and I will feel really bad if that happens. So, I stuck to the ratio of 1 portion of ginger juice vs 8 portions of milk and used only 5ml of ginger juice to 40ml of milk with a very small amount of sugar (personal taste).
Note: As long as the ratio of ginger juice vs milk is 1:8, any amount should be fine. But do make sure the ingredients are measured first so that you can pour the milk in one swift go.
Set aside ginger juice in the ramekin or any serving container.
Bring milk to boil and add sugar. Stirring constantly to prevent a skin from forming and milk from burning.
Off heat and stir for 10 seconds to cool milk slightly.
Pour milk at one go from a height of at least 10cm above the ramekin.
The curd should set about 10-15mins and we are done!
I'm so glad it worked for you.
Haha, So precise use weighing scale to weigh the juice. But I think it doesn't need to be all that accurate, cos every ginger's moisture content is different, some drier, some juicier, so it's just an approximate and anyway 125ml with 15ml juice is almost 1:8. I didn't know about this proportion thingy, maybe I didn't read to many Chinese sites as I read like a snail when I read Chinese and my vocab is crazily limited.
I'm so so glad that you got it with a homogenized milk, so that breaks the myth of homogenized milk can't be used. Hmm, so far I've used a few homogenized milk from Malaysia and they all don't work, maybe I'll try Marigold, if I can get it here.
But because it's just the same brand of milk, I'm so sorry that it's just one entry for the giveaway.
Oh... saw your message too low and I did another experiment today!
hi would like to ask, how much sugar to add?
Hi Glenn, I only used 1/3 tsp of sugar as we are not sweet tooth. you can add more if you like.

What Time Is It?Let's Travel Back to 2007 For the Premiere of 'High School Musical 2' Since Nothing on This Red Carpet Would Happen Today
Might be a bit hard to believe, but it's been an entire decade and then some since High School Musical 2 aired on Disney Channel for the first time ever. 11 years, to be exact. WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE? Seriously, it's hard to believe it's been that long since we all first saw Troy work out his feelings in a golf course belting out "Bet On It," Sharpay taught us the true meaning of living your best, most fabulous life in the summer, and Gabriella — accompanied by a heartbroken Troy — gave the world the best breakup song of all time, "Gotta Go My Own Way." So makes perfect sense why it's still the most watched DCOM ever, setting a record for basic cable with 17.2 million viewers tuning in for that first airing. Iconic.
And the official red — or shall we say, blue — carpet premiere of the flick took place in actual Disneyland and it was a time, let me tell you. It was filled with of course the beloved HSM cast, along with other Disney Channel stars and basically shows us what life was like in 2007. Short version: very different and most likely no one would wear these outfits today. What better way to celebrate 10 years of HSM 2 than by taking a trip down memory lane…
Zanessa posed together, looking so cute and in love.

Z + V 4ever. Well, at least in our hearts since the couple split years ago and they have each moved on with their lives. So we'll never get to see them posing like this again in our lives. Ever. Just let that sink in while you stare at their oh so smiley faces.
Selena Gomez showed up wearing a tank top and some rather eye-catching bracelets.
First off, this top is everything. "Let's Rock A No Roll," not even sure what that means tbh. And she went with a bold accessory choice, perhaps to compliment her teal heels? But regardless, Sel looks adorable, awkward teenage outfit and all.
Zac Efron hung out with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, like they were the legit King and Queen.
Well okay if we're being fair, Mickey and Minnie ARE Disney in a nutshell so, yes, they do run the place. But everyone wanted to snag pics with them, especially Minnie. We kid you not. For example:
Monique Coleman got sassy with Minnie.
Because sure why not?
Cody Linley wooed Minnie.
With that very 2007 haircut, we can see why she couldn't resist his charms.
And Emily Osment had a twinning moment with Minnie.
Goals, really. Also, her silver purse. EVERYTHING.
David Henrie's pose game was strong AF.
Just look at that umm, smolder we'll call it? Sure, let's go with that.
Jake T. Austin was a legit baby and it's just precious.
He was only 12 years old when he attended this premiere and those red sneakers are just too cute. The vest and shiny short combo is honestly too much to handle! A much different look than we're used to seeing on him now, that's for sure.
Ashley Tisdale posed with a dog.
Ashley had this little pooch snuggle up next to her and the movie's director, Kenny Ortega. The dog appears to be wearing a baseball uniform. We have a feeling the dog has no desire to be there. At all. But at least he looked fabulous.
Miley Cyrus was another human at this time.
Yes, we know she's always been Miley, but seeing her like this just takes us back to a much different time and she's often spoken about how peak Hannah Montana-era Miley was not the most accurate representation of her true self. She has worn hot pink sparkles since then though and she's still all about the peace signs. So maybe she hasn't changed as much as we all think. We can spot that winged eyeliner a mile away though. Epic.
Also, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Yeah, probs won't catch Miley and her dad walking a red carpet together today. Wonder why he didn't take his shade off. Doesn't seem like it was all that sunny…

English wins at Kapalua for 1st victory since '13
KAPALUA, Hawaii — Harris English went more than seven years without winning on the PGA Tour, and he didn't mind going one extra hole to win the Sentry Tournament of Champions on Sunday.
English missed a 10-foot eagle putt in regulation on the par-5 18th hole at Kapalua for a 4-under 69 to force a playoff with Joaquin Niemann, and he ended it on the 18th with a 6-foot birdie.
Niemann, who closed with a 64, pulled his approach enough to tumble down the steep, shaggy hill. His full swing from thick grass got him to the fringe, but he missed the birdie putt.
English capped off his remarkable turnaround at a tournament he ordinarily wouldn't be allowed to play. The Tournament of Champions is for winners only from the previous year, but the field was expanded to include anyone who reached the Tour Championship because of the COVID-19 pandemic that shut down the PGA Tour for three months.
The fact English made it to the Tour Championship was proof of turning around his game. He ended the previous season without a full card and mired in a slump that dropped him to No. 369 in the world. He did everything last year but win, and he took care of that in the first event of the new year.
Now the 31-year-old from Georgia is among the top 20 in the world, and guaranteed a return to Kapalua next year.
Niemann had eight birdies through 14 holes and matched the low score of the tournament. His regret might be a 6-foot birdie putt he missed in regulation. All he could do was wait, and he spent most of that hour at a picnic table with Sergio Garcia and their wives, heading to the practice green as English was coming up the 18th.
English won for the third time in his career, and his first title since the OHL Classic at Mayakoba at the end of 2013, his second victory of that year.
Justin Thomas stayed in the mix one day after he was heard uttering a homophobic slur under his breath after missing a short putt. Thomas apologized, and did so again after a 66 left him one shot out of the playoff.
He missed an 8-foot birdie chance on the 16th, and then three-putted from long range on the 17th for bogey. A birdie on the final hole wasn't enough.
Dustin Johnson, in his first start since winning the Masters on Nov. 15, made an early run until he lost a tee shot in the native grass on No. 12 and made double bogey. He shot 69 and tied for 11th, ending his streak of seven consecutive top 10s dating to the first week in August.
Ryan Palmer, who shared the 54-hole lead with English, had an early lead with an eagle on the fifth hole. His hopes came undone when his tee shot on the par-3 11th turned left with the wind into the shin-high grass. It took him two to get out, and he made double bogey. Palmer rallied with four birdies on his last five holes but shot 71 to finish two back.
The most significant wind of the week eventually allowed for some separation, and it came down to English, Niemann and Thomas over the final hour.
English got back in the game by running off four birdies in a five-hole stretch starting at No. 11, and he appeared to be in control until attacking a back pin on the 16th, going just over the green and making bogey.
He bounced back, first with a birdie on the 18th to catch Niemann at 25-under 267, and then with a birdie to win.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which "Snow White" movie is the greatest of them all? It's still too soon to answer that question, perhaps, but "Snow White and the Huntsman" certainly has the advantage right now thanks to its newly released trailer!
The first official "Snow White and the Huntsman" trailer arrived online today courtesy of Apple, gifting fans with their best look yet at what director Rupert Sanders has in store for his fairy tale starring "Twilight" sensation Kristen Stewart, "Thor" star Chris Hemsworth and "Monster" Oscar winner Charlize Theron. Needless to say, that "Lord of the Rings" vibe that was promised is most certainly on display here.
Kristen stars as the titular fairy tale princess, albeit with some adjustments from the Disney classic you're most familiar with. In short, this is no damsel in distress: Stewart's Snow is a fierce warrior woman who is more than capable of holding her own, thanks to expert training she gleans from the Huntsman (Chris), a highly trained and dangerous man sent to kill the banished Snow on orders from the Evil Queen (Charlize). The Huntsman has a change of heart, however, and sets about mentoring Snow in the art of war to prepare her for her violent struggle against the cruel woman who banished her.
When we spoke with Kristen during MTV First: "Breaking Dawn," the actress admitted her initial reluctance to join the "Snow White" franchise.
"Now I've got stars in my eyes," she said of her changed tune. "I'm literally over the moon about what I'm doing right now. I can't imagine that I would say ['no']. Yes, I would love to."
Tell us what you think of the "Snow White" trailer in the comments section and on Twitter!


Miles, now a Lieutenant working for Imperial Security, is sent off to a Cetagandan state funeral along with his less than brilliant but dashingly handsome cousin Ivan Vorpatril. While there, they are embroiled in a complex plot to stir the waters of Cetagandan nobility genetic engineering.
The plot is in fact very complex, and while showcasing Miles' intelligence, it goes perhaps a bit too far. The Cetagandan empire is a remarkable edifice constructed by McMaster Bujold. The highest caste controls the evolution of their own and the soldier caste through rigidly held gene banks and elaborately calculated pairings. It is almost worth reading the book for the descriptions of ceremonies, locations and people. Unfortunately, the plot is not as strong as one would want, and quickly bogs down in far too many twists and turns. I'm all for a nice mystery but there is very little actual action to propel the mystery along. I caught myself no longer caring very much what actually happened, as long as I could read about Miles and his ever entertaining adventures.
This novel is collected in the "Miles, Mystery & Mayhem" omnibus.


Met up with Ojai John and some Owens exiles at Nordhoff about 10:15 (Sharon Sweeney, Mark Pratt, Randall McCormick, Alan King, John Kloer, Tom Truax). Mike arrived to crew about 10:30 and I was airborne about 11:45. Breezing in pretty good on launch, but not much thermal activity under the high cloud blockage. Hung on and finally got up from below Twin Peaks. Left downwind for Nordhoff in the mid 5s.
The thermals on the main spine coming down from Nordhoff Peak were drifting from the SW. Got to 65 in a convergence and drifted back out to the NE along the back ridge. Left and tried to take the back route, but there was a fair amount of South wind (and some east), so I opted to head down the spine behind Stooges to avoid getting stuck in the back of a canyon. Got back up half way down and pressed on the speed bar toward the middle bump of the main Chief's spine. Full bar for an upwind intercept below it, but the whole spine was going off and drew in from the west down lower.
Got back into the low 6s and tried to power upwind toward The Repeater. Picked up a few hundred off the bump half way across the back and got on the bar again. Too much east, so I opted to fall back. The west was trying to push in and I got over 8K in the convergence back at Chief's. High 6s at The Repeater and speed bar over to the NW corner of The Bluffs. Arrived with 55ish and got back up above the rim.
The NW corner was protected pretty good and drawing in. Didn't bother to get very high thinking I needed to get high off the SE corner for a glide over to Santa Paula Ridge, so I dolphined on upwind, bobbing between the high 5s & 65. Past the middle of the bluffs, there was less draw toward the bluffs, and the drift was increasingly away. As I approached the SE corner, there was more wind from the ESE coming around and I started to get some rotor action. Fell off but was waffling about giving up. After clearing the rotor a bit out front I turned back for lower intercept and got on full bar. Ok for awhile, but the upwind glide was poor, and I started to get back into the rotor so my only option was to turn back for the repeater with less that 5K.
Fortunately, I got a good downwind glide back across the middle of the canyon. Back above 6 at the Repeater, a bit out front, and pulled a downwind glide to Stooges. Down below 4, but it still seemed downwind toward Nordhoff, and the ponds were shimmering SE despite reports of mild west in the valley. Picked up a good thermal half way across. Didn't argue about the odd location and took it for and easy connection to Nordhoff.
Mark was climbing and I came in under him. We got to 6ish and he left for the High School. I got back up again behind the Pyramid. Thought of going up Matilija Canyon, reasoning that it was reachable, and perhaps more protected from the marine influence, plus with reports of SW on the deck, I could avoid the west wind and ride the SE flow up the canyon. I was getting a good glide, and the south wind seemed to be fading. The Matilija route looked like it would work for 5 miles or so, but I couldn't see a connection in the back of the canyon. With the better glide and less south wind I had the connection to the front ridge, so I altered course and came in on Bump 2 with 34.
Wanted a few hundred more to get to Bump 3, but didn't get it. Still downwind, so I reached across. The downwind part was good for the short glide, but if I couldn't connect I wouldn't be able to get back to the river. Struggled in the boundary layer convection below 3K on the SW side of Bump 3 for about 5 minutes and finally flushed out. Got lucky and hooked a late day smoothie on the low front point above Taft's Valley. It was encouraging to have OJ cheering me on from his front yard savoring his beer.
Back over 5 at Bump 3. Got up from the saddle in front of the Back Step. The upper air had a late day mellow feel, but some or the thermals had twisty air, sheer, and sharp edged cores so I was on my toes. Nothing to turn in at the High Step. Not enough altitude to clear the saddle behind White Ledge. Still had flow from the SE and the high ridge was in sun so I kept going. Broke even and when I though I had enough to get over the saddle I took it across.
The back ridge west of White Ledge had some twisty cores. A little late in the day. Dark shadow on the east sides. Felling a bit committed and wanting to bet back into the 5s. Got above ridge line a couple of times. Approached the saddle behind East Divide too low to clear it. Stayed in the sun as on the back ridge as long as possible, but didn't want to back track upwind, so just before the saddle, I cut across to the south and was able to get around to reach the main spine in front. Got back into the upper 5s and was felling good and enjoying the view.
High again off West Divide, and a little action above Noon Peak. Buoyant air and good seams along Power Line Ridge, but nothing to turn in. Across to Castle Ridge. Below the points, wanting a little more, I tried a turn or two, but it was better to use them as extenders. Clear air in the back, but a little hazy down lower. Tried to stay up in the back in the SE flow, hoping to stay above potential lower level onshore flow from the west.
Up behind Castle Point 3 (of 5) I was half way down between the back ridge and the front points. Wanted to tuck in, but the flow was trending away rather than in from the SE. Had to turn out in the high 2s midway between Castle Point (Point 2) and Point 3. The lower level onshore flow was light and I pulled a good glide in the late day buoyant air against the light head wind. Had enough to easily reach the practice polo fields, but I'd been wanting to land at Bret & Jeri's, and the conditions seemed good.
Sharon passed Pam on Toro Canyon Road. Had a beer and chatted. Packed up on the grass at the end of Linden Avenue.


The intervertebral disc is composed of an inflexible ring called the annulus fibrosis which encloses a gelatinous inner structure called the nucleus pulposus. The discs are kept in position with the help of endplates between two vertebral bodies. The intervertebral discs' act as shock absorbers.
Every patient is different and it is important to realize that not everyone develops symptoms because of degenerative disc disease. When the condition becomes painful or symptomatic, it can cause several different symptoms due to the compression of the nerve roots. Depending on the location of the degenerative disc, it could cause back pain, radiating leg pain, neck pain, and radiating arm pain.
A series of X-rays may also be performed. If degenerative disc disease is present, the X-rays will often show a narrowing of the spaces between the vertebral bodies, which indicates that the disc has become very thin or has collapsed. Bone spurs formed around the edges of the vertebral bodies and around the edges of the facet joints in the spine can also be seen on an X-ray. Thus, the space available for the nerve roots begins to shrink. The nerve roots exit the spinal canal through a bony tunnel called the neural foramen and it is at this point the nerve roots are especially vulnerable to compression.
Surgical treatment – Surgery is offered only after conservative treatment options fail to adequately relieve the symptoms of pain, numbness and weakness over a significant period. Decompression of the spinal cord along with a discectomy and fusion will be performed to remove the affected disc and fuse the adjoining vertebrae to stabilize the spine.
