Just a very quick update. On Monday it will have been 4 weeks since switch on.
There has been no improvement since day one. The distortion is still there, no clarity can be found anywhere amongst the rasping noise that my brain is interpreting.
I am wearing it every day. Some days I manage only 15 minutes. Other days I manage as much as 2 hours. Longer than that, and I struggle with patience, tiredness and general frustration.
I am starting to lose hope, am I going to be one of the very unlucky ones? I am trying to keep clinging onto it has hard as I can – in the long scheme of things – it's still very early days right?

You're so amazingly honest about these things Bryony. I am no CI user but recently I went to see the audiologist about trying digital hearing aids (I need a back up in case my analogue types decide to call it a day) – and it makes such wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieerd sounds when I play my flute! Arghhhhhhh. The sounds in the high notes get cut off, and when I play vibrato (=gentle wavy effects) it just sounds so square and stiff. When I play a fast chromatic scale the digital aids can't cope the sounds starts overlapping each other. The audiologist said I need to get used to wearing digitals, and that they are far better than analogues, which really really drives me mad. Here's me hoping, I'm wearing digital aids for half a day, when I'm practising or flute teaching Im back to wearing analogues!!
aw. I'm sorry things are no better. How disappointing, and how morale sapping.
Four weeks IS early days. Remember the newborn days? Four weeks seemed like a lifetime of sleepless nights, upheaval, love etc, but with the benefit of hindsight it was still only The Beginning, and life eventually (!) settled.
I've never worn analogue hearing aids. So can't comment on this part. But I know from when I first started wearing digital hearing aids, that it took me a month to completely feel at home with them, hearing wise. So bear with them. Hopefully you will feel the same too. Gradually increase wearing them over time.


Real name: Bishop Sykes. There's a Mount Rose (ski resort) near Reno.
In the year of Jimmy Frey's hit, a year Bruges became Belgian soccer champion, supporters of F.C. Brugge sang this song as Breng Die Rozen Naar Standard. Jimmy's Spanish version was n°1 in Spain and his French version hit the French top 10.


Inspired by a ceremonial tribal mask, this substantial sculpture sits on a pedestal as an amazing piece of art. The simple matte white finish draws attention to the facial detail, which is similar to that of an original artifact. Display it on an accent table or on a bookshelf on its own, or pair it with the female vesion for extra impact.

Asbestosis is long term inflammation and scarring of the lungs due to asbestos fibers.[4] Symptoms may include shortness of breath, cough, wheezing, and chest tightness.[1] Complications may include lung cancer, mesothelioma, and pulmonary heart disease.[1][2]
Asbestosis is caused by breathing in asbestos fibers.[1] Generally it requires a relatively large exposure over a long period of time.[1] Such levels of exposure typically only occur in those who work with the material.[2] All types of asbestos fibers are associated with an increased risk.[9] It is generally recommended that currently existing and undamaged asbestos be left undisturbed.[10] Diagnosis is based upon a history of exposure together with medical imaging.[4] Asbestosis is a type of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis.[4]
There is no specific treatment.[1] Recommendations may include influenza vaccination, pneumococcal vaccination, oxygen therapy, and stopping smoking.[5] Asbestosis affected about 157,000 people and resulted in 3,600 deaths in 2015.[8][7] Asbestos use has been banned in a number of countries in an effort to prevent disease.[1]

3 Pathogenesis
6.1 Legal issues
6.2 Notable cases
The signs and symptoms of asbestosis typically manifest after a significant amount of time has passed following asbestos exposure, often several decades under current conditions in the US.[11] The primary symptom of asbestosis is generally the slow onset of shortness of breath, especially with physical activity.[12] Clinically advanced cases of asbestosis may lead to respiratory failure. When a physician listens with a stethoscope to the lungs of a person with asbestosis, they may hear inspiratory crackles.
The characteristic pulmonary function finding in asbestosis is a restrictive ventilatory defect.[13] This manifests as a reduction in lung volumes, particularly the vital capacity (VC) and total lung capacity (TLC). The TLC may be reduced through alveolar wall thickening; however, this is not always the case.[14] Large airway function, as reflected by FEV1/FVC, is generally well preserved.[11] In severe cases, the drastic reduction in lung function due to the stiffening of the lungs and reduced TLC may induce right-sided heart failure (cor pulmonale).[15][16] In addition to a restrictive defect, asbestosis may produce reduction in diffusion capacity and a low amount of oxygen in the blood of the arteries.
White asbestos fibers identified in room air analysis, magnified 5000 times using a scanning electron microscope
The cause of asbestosis is the inhalation of microscopic asbestos mineral fibers suspended in the air.[17] In the 1930s, E. R. A. Merewether found that greater exposure resulted in greater risk.[18]
Asbestosis is the scarring of lung tissue (beginning around terminal bronchioles and alveolar ducts and extending into the alveolar walls) resulting from the inhalation of asbestos fibers. There are two types of fibers: amphibole (thin and straight) and serpentine (curly). All forms of asbestos fibers are responsible for human disease as they are able to penetrate deeply into the lungs. When such fibers reach the alveoli (air sacs) in the lung, where oxygen is transferred into the blood, the foreign bodies (asbestos fibers) cause the activation of the lungs' local immune system and provoke an inflammatory reaction dominated by lung macrophages that respond to chemotactic factors activated by the fibers.[19] This inflammatory reaction can be described as chronic rather than acute, with a slow ongoing progression of the immune system attempting to eliminate the foreign fibers. Macrophages phagocytose (ingest) the fibers and stimulate fibroblasts to deposit connective tissue. Due to the asbestos fibers' natural resistance to digestion, some macrophages are killed and others release inflammatory chemical signals, attracting further lung macrophages and fibrolastic cells that synthesize fibrous scar tissue, which eventually becomes diffuse and can progress in heavily exposed individuals. This tissue can be seen microscopically soon after exposure in animal models. Some asbestos fibers become layered by an iron-containing proteinaceous material (ferruginous body) in cases of heavy exposure where about 10% of the fibers become coated. Most inhaled asbestos fibers remain uncoated. About 20% of the inhaled fibers are transported by cytoskeletal components of the alveolar epithelium to the interstitial compartment of the lung where they interact with macrophages and mesenchymal cells. The cytokines, transforming growth factor beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha, appear to play major roles in the development of scarring inasmuch as the process can be blocked in animal models by preventing the expression of the growth factors.[20][21] The result is fibrosis in the interstitial space, thus asbestosis. This fibrotic scarring causes alveolar walls to thicken, which reduces elasticity and gas diffusion, reducing oxygen transfer to the blood as well as the removal of carbon dioxide. This can result in shortness of breath, a common symptom exhibited by individuals with asbestosis.[22]

Lateral chest X-ray in asbestosis shows plaquing of the diaphragm.
According to the American Thoracic Society (ATS), the general diagnostic criteria for asbestosis are:[11]
Evidence of structural pathology consistent with asbestosis, as documented by imaging or histology
Evidence of causation by asbestos as documented by the occupational and environmental history, markers of exposure (usually pleural plaques), recovery of asbestos bodies, or other means
Exclusion of alternative plausible causes for the findings
The abnormal chest x-ray and its interpretation remain the most important factors in establishing the presence of pulmonary fibrosis.[11] The findings usually appear as small, irregular parenchymal opacities, primarily in the lung bases. Using the ILO Classification system, "s", "t", and/or "u" opacities predominate. CT or high-resolution CT (HRCT) are more sensitive than plain radiography at detecting pulmonary fibrosis (as well as any underlying pleural changes). More than 50% of people affected with asbestosis develop plaques in the parietal pleura, the space between the chest wall and lungs. Once apparent, the radiographic findings in asbestosis may slowly progress or remain static, even in the absence of further asbestos exposure.[23] Rapid progression suggests an alternative diagnosis.
Asbestosis resembles many other diffuse interstitial lung diseases, including other pneumoconiosis. The differential diagnosis includes idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), hypersensitivity pneumonitis, sarcoidosis, and others. The presence of pleural plaques may provide supportive evidence of causation by asbestos. Although lung biopsy is usually not necessary, the presence of asbestos bodies in association with pulmonary fibrosis establishes the diagnosis.[24] Conversely, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis in the absence of asbestos bodies is most likely not asbestosis.[11] Asbestos bodies in the absence of fibrosis indicate exposure, not disease.

There is no cure available for asbestosis.[25] Oxygen therapy at home is often necessary to relieve the shortness of breath and correct underlying low blood oxygen levels. Supportive treatment of symptoms includes respiratory physiotherapy to remove secretions from the lungs by postural drainage, chest percussion, and vibration. Nebulized medications may be prescribed in order to loosen secretions or treat underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Immunization against pneumococcal pneumonia and annual influenza vaccination is administered due to increased sensitivity to the diseases. Those with asbestosis are at increased risk for certain cancers. If the person smokes, quitting the habit reduces further damage. Periodic pulmonary function tests, chest x-rays, and clinical evaluations, including cancer screening/evaluations, are given to detect additional hazards.
Main article: Asbestos and the law
The death of English textile worker Nellie Kershaw in 1924 from pulmonary asbestosis was the first case to be described in medical literature, and the first published account of disease attributed to occupational asbestos exposure. However, her former employers (Turner Brothers Asbestos) denied that asbestosis even existed because the medical condition was not officially recognised at the time. As a result, they accepted no liability for her injuries and paid no compensation, either to Kershaw during her final illness or to her family after her death. Even so, the findings of the inquest into her death were highly influential insofar as they led to a parliamentary enquiry by the British Parliament. The enquiry formally acknowledged the existence of asbestosis, recognised that it was hazardous to health and concluded that it was irrefutably linked to the prolonged inhalation of asbestos dust. Having established the existence of asbestosis on a medical and judicial basis, the report resulted in the first Asbestos Industry Regulations being published in 1931, which came into effect on 1 March 1932.[26][27]
The first lawsuits against asbestos manufacturers occurred in 1929. Since then, many lawsuits have been filed against asbestos manufacturers and employers, for neglecting to implement safety measures after the link between asbestos, asbestosis and mesothelioma became known (some reports seem to place this as early as 1898 in modern times). The liability resulting from the sheer number of lawsuits and people affected has reached billions of U.S. dollars. The amounts and method of allocating compensation have been the source of many court cases, and government attempts at resolution of existing and future cases.
To date, about 100 companies have declared bankruptcy at least partially due to asbestos-related liability. In accordance with Chapter 11 and § 524(g) of the U.S. federal bankruptcy code, a company may transfer its liabilities and certain assets to an asbestos personal injury trust, which is then responsible for compensating present and future claimants. Since 1988, 60 trusts have been established to pay claims with about $37 billion in total assets. From 1988 through 2010, analysis from the United States Government Accountability Office indicates that trusts have paid about 3.3 million claims valued at about $17.5 billion.[28]
Some notable persons who have died from lung fibrosis associated with asbestos include:
Bernie Banton, social justice advocate
Nellie Kershaw, first person diagnosed with asbestos-related disease, 1924
John MacDougall, politician
Steve McQueen, actor
Theodore Sturgeon, writer

death penalty news—–TEXAS
Nation's 1st execution of 2009 Wednesday in Texas
Even a defense lawyer for convicted murderer Curtis Moore acknowledged the
horrific nature of the 3 slayings that convinced a jury to send Moore to
death row.
"Facts-wise, it was difficult because of the nature of how the killings
happened and the fact the bodies were burned," George Gallagher recalled.
"You have an uphill battle."
Moore, 40, was set for lethal injection Wednesday evening. His execution,
the 1st of the year in the United States, would be the 1st of 6 scheduled
for this month in Texas, the nation's most active death penalty state.
Moore's appeals in the courts were exhausted. On Monday, the Texas Board
of Pardons and Paroles rejected a clemency request that cited his possible
mental retardation as reason to spare him.
Moore already made one trip to the Huntsville death house. In 2002, less
than three hours before he was to receive lethal injection, the U.S.
Supreme Court stopped his scheduled execution so claims from his attorneys
that he was mentally retarded and ineligible for execution could be
reviewed. In October, the high court refused his appeal, clearing the way
for Wednesday's execution date to be set.
Moore was condemned for a pair of shootings in November 1995 in Fort
Worth.
Roderick Moore, 24, who was not related to him, and LaTanya Boone, 21,
both of Fort Worth, were found shot to death in a roadside ditch across
from an elementary school.
The same night, firefighters summoned to put out a car fire found Darrel
Hoyle, 21, of Fort Worth, and Henry Truevillian Jr., 20, of Forest Hill,
shot and burned. Truevillian was dead but Hoyle survived and helped lead
police to the arrest of Moore and his nephew, Anthony Moore, then 17.
The 3 men were abducted after agreeing to meet Curtis Moore and his nephew
at a stable where Roderick Moore boarded and trained horses. Then Boone
was abducted from the apartment she shared with Roderick Moore, her
boyfriend.
Testimony at Curtis Moore's trial showed the shootings culminated a drug
ripoff, that he doused Hoyle and Truevillian with gasoline and ignited
them as they were bound and in the trunk of a car parked in a deserted lot
outside a Fort Worth bar.
Hoyle regained consciousness 6 days after he was attacked and gave
information that led authorities to Anthony Moore, known on the streets in
Fort Worth as "Kojak," and that Curtis Moore drove a pink truck.
Curtis Moore was arrested about 2 weeks later, his hands and arms still
showing burns suffered when authorities said he tried to keep Hoyle from
fleeing the flames.
"Curtis was trying to push him back in the trunk," said Joetta Keene, who
prosecuted Moore.
"Everybody got burned, including Curtis," Gallagher said. "That was hard
to get around."
At the punishment phase, prosecutors were able to show jurors Moore's
violent past.
"He had a huge criminal history," Keene said. "He kept giving us more
evidence. He stabbed a guy in jail."
Moore's record showed convictions for theft, robbery, and weapon and drug
possession. The record also showed he repeatedly was paroled, then
returned to prison with parole violations.
Moore blamed his nephew for the slayings and said he tried to rescue the
victims from the burning car. But he acknowledged holding them at
gunpoint, ordering them hogtied and stuffed into the trunk of the car.
Anthony Moore pleaded guilty to 2 counts of murder under a plea agreement
and is serving 2 life prison sentences.
Texas Death Penalty Machinery Set to "High" as Executions Resume—-14
Executions Scheduled Over the Next 4 Months
The 1st U.S. execution of 2009 is scheduled to take place today in the
state of Texas. Curtis Moore is set to be put to death for the 1996
murders of Roderick Moore, Latasha Boone, and Henry Truevillen in Tarrant
County. Currently there are 14 executions scheduled to take place in Texas
between now and April 7, including 6 in January alone. Among all other 35
death penalty states, only 10 executions have been scheduled for this same
time period.
The inmates with execution dates were convicted and sentenced to death in
8 different counties; 4 inmates were convicted in Tarrant County and 3 in
Bexar County.
"Once again the State of Texas is quick out of the starting gate in the
race to execute," said Kristin Houl, Executive Director of the Texas
Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (TCADP). "While other states are
projected to carry out more executions than usual this year, none will
even come close to overtaking Texas' status as the most active – and most
notorious – death penalty state." In 2008, Texas accounted for just under
1/2 of the 37 executions that took place nationwide. Overall, it accounts
for more than 1/3 of the 1,136 executions that have occurred in the United
States since 1977.
The accelerated pace of executions coincides with a time of increased
public scrutiny and concern about the fairness and reliability of this
ultimate form of punishment. According to TCADP, 11 people were sentenced
to death in Texas in 2008, matching 2006 for the lowest number of new
death sentences in more than 30 years. 9 people now have been exonerated
from Texas' death row due to evidence of their wrongful conviction.
This year, elected officials in numerous states are prepared to give
serious consideration to abolishing the death penalty altogether. As the
81st Session of the Texas Legislature gets underway, TCADP urges lawmakers
to take a hard look at this costly, broken government system and to
support alternatives that protect society and punish the truly guilty.
Other executions scheduled for January:
January 21: Frank Moore
January 22: Reginald Perkins
January 27: Larry Swearingen
January 28: Virgil Martinez
January 29: Ricardo Ortiz
TCADP members will hold vigils on the evening of every execution in
multiple locations throughout the state. See

Texas Reporter Witnesses Hundreds of Executions
A Fort Worth killer is set to become the 424th inmate to be put to death
in Texas. When he dies, Mike Graczyk will be there, just inches away.
It is the job of the Associated Press reporter to cover capital punishment
in Texas, and that translates into busy days on death row. Graczyk
estimates that he has witnessed more than 300 executions in his 26 years
covering lethal injection in the state.
Graczyk may have witnessed more executions than anyone in the country
because Texas sets the pace when it comes to lethal injection. "It's just
part of my job. It just comes with the territory," says the reporter.
Graczyk says many of the executions have stuck with him through the years,
for various reasons. "I remember Gary Graham's execution with all the
tension," he says. Graham's execution during President George Bush's first
run for office brought out hordes of demonstrators.
Graczyk also recalls the first execution he witnessed in 1983; a man who
shot a convenience store clerk. And a priest was the second person
executed after the death penalty was reinstated in Texas. "They strapped
him to the gurney and put the needles in his arms and then he got a
reprieve." he says. After that, Graczyk says, the state changed it's
procedures to delay inserting needles until all legal hurdles are cleared.
Gracyk has also seen three women executed, and those linger in his mind.
But, he says, it's the personal nature of visiting the inmates for
interviews on death row that he won't forget. "Many of times when I walk
into the death house they will call me by name and ask how I'm doing and
that just kind of sticks with you," he says.
Court overturns death sentence in 1978 Texas case
A white man on Texas death row for nearly 30 years could be freed because
an appeals court has ruled that prosecutors improperly excluded blacks
from his jury in the belief that blacks empathize with defendants.
Jonathan Bruce Reed was convicted and condemned for the November 1978
rape-slaying of Wanda Jean Wadle at her Dallas apartment.
But now the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled Dallas County
prosecutors improperly excluded black prospective jurors from Reeds trial
and ordered him released unless prosecutors choose to retry him quickly.
"Although we do not relish adding a new chapter to this unfortunate story
more than 30 years after the crime took place, we conclude that the
Constitution affords Reed a right to relief," a 3-member panel of the New
Orleans-based court wrote in the ruling posted late Monday.
Jamille Bradfield, a spokeswoman for Dallas County District Attorney Craig
Watkins, said it was premature to comment on whether Reed would be
retried.
"We still need time to dissect the opinion," she said Tuesday.
Reed has been on death row since September 1979, making him among the
longest-serving prisoners awaiting execution in Texas.
The 5th Circuit said Reed's case mirrored the capital murder case of
Thomas Miller-El, on Texas death row for nearly 20 years until the Supreme
Court overturned his verdict, citing racial discrimination during jury
selection. Miller-El last year took a life prison sentence as part of a
plea deal.
The Supreme Court cited a manual, written by a prosecutor in 1969 and used
for years later, that advised Dallas prosecutors to exclude minorities
from juries. Documents in Miller-El's case described how the memo advised
prosecutors to avoid selecting minorities because "they almost always
empathize with the accused."
"Reed presents this same historical evidence of racial bias in the Dallas
County District Attorney's Office," the 5th Circuit panel said.
Reed, now 57, was identified as the man who attacked Wadle and her
roommate, Kimberly Pursley, on Nov. 1, 1978. He'd apparently entered their
apartment by posing as a maintenance man.
Pursley survived an attempted strangulation by feigning unconsciousness. 2
other residents identified Reed as the man they saw in the apartment
complex just before the time of the attack.

Telegraph profits down year on year but still huge compared to Times and Guardian
Journalists cautioned against using terms such as 'brave', 'lucky', 'sufferer' and 'superhuman' in reports of Paralympics
Three Mail on Sunday journalists injured in crash apparently caused by migrants outside Calais
Three journalists from the Mail on Sunday were all injured after they swerved their car to avoid a log apparently thrown by migrants on to a road near Calais.
The paper yesterday reported that the trio were victims of a new tactic by people trying to enter Britain illegally via the French port.
Reporter Ben Ellery and photographers Steve Burton and John McLellan were all injured when their car swerved to avoid the log and collided with an articulated lorry.
Ellery suffered a gash to his head needing eight stitches. The other two also suffered cuts to their faces.
The MoS team was investigating reports that migrants were throwing obstructions on to the roads outside Calais in order to force lorries to stop so they can board them.
The incident happened in the early hours of Friday morning.
Ellery wrote: "…the most chilling aspect of the crash in which my car was written off and my two passengers and I narrowly escaped death, was that it was not an accident at all – but the result of a deliberate, cold-blooded act.
"The tree trunk hurled at our car which caused the near-fatal swerve could have been thrown at any family travelling back to the UK. And the next victims may not be so lucky."

Wealth Lifestyle Advice
Emirates vs. Etihad vs. Qatar: What's the Difference?
By Marjorie A. Cohen
Emirates vs. Etihad vs. Qatar: An Overview
Considering the swank new business-class service being rolled out on long-haul routes, airline travel gurus have been suggesting recently that splurging on a first-class seat may not always be necessary. The level of luxe depends on the airline and on the particular model of plane. Here, we look at business class on three Middle Eastern airlines, Emirates, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways, highlighting some of the perks they have put in place to lure business-class travelers.
All three of these airlines have tried to set up their business-class cabins and service so that you can work and relax. What they can't guarantee, however, is a completely quiet space for either. One reviewer learned this while flying business class from London to Dubai on an Emirates Airbus A380. An otherwise good experience was "tarnished," he says, by "the piercing screams of children. Not the short-lived cries that occur during takeoff and landing or a child in distress struggling to get to sleep; this was unruly children not being managed by their parents." When he asked an Emirates spokesperson whether the airline had considered an "adults only" feature, the answer was a straightforward "No, we have not."
Emirates offers business class on two different types of aircraft. The plane model can make a difference, according to blogger and pilot Patrick Smith (askthepilot.com). "On the outside, the mega jumbo A380 is the ugliest jetliner ever conceived, but on the inside, it's spacious, luxurious, and whisper quiet. The upper deck A380 business class is outstanding." Emirates' Boeing 777 business class has a more standard seat, he says, "and at seven across, it is very, very tight."
On the A380 there are 76 lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 configuration that convert to fully flat beds about 77 to 79 inches long. Seats have a console and minibar to one side, and, says Smith, even though "it's not a totally enclosed suite like you'd find in first class, the chair is set deep within the cubicle." The two center seats have an electronically operated privacy barrier between them; Smith suggests that you choose a seat with an outside console "which acts as a buffer between you and the aisle."
One extremely popular feature seems to be the onboard lounge, situated in the rear of the business-class cabin and open to both first-class and business-class passengers. It's a place to socialize, drink, eat canapés, and relax in general. Two sofas are equipped with seat belts "so you're welcome to hang out even when there's turbulence," says Smith. The Telegraph reviewer noted that the bar "provided a good platform for interaction between passengers and the international crew." Lachlyn Soper (babytravelstheworld.com) says that the lounge is perfect for the "I am flying over Slovenia and still have nine hours to go" drink.
Emirates' ICE (information, communications, entertainment) system has won the Skytrax "Best Entertainment System in the World" award 11 times. With thousands of entertainment options, including movies, TV programs, music, podcasts, and video games, there's more than enough to choose from, and the "video screen is huge and crystal clear with a comfortable set of noise-reduction headsets," says Smith.
The great feeling one gets boarding the upper deck of the A380 "never gets old," according to a writer for the industry news blog Airline Reporter describing his business-class flight from Sydney to Abu Dhabi. He likes Etihad's cabin decor for its "class and sophistication." And, although he doesn't care for the rear-facing seats, as well as the front-facing ones because of the slightly reduced pitch, he does approve of the bed being wider on the A380 than on the A330/A340 or the 777.
Because of the comfort factor, the decor, the food (which he calls "stunning"), and the in-flight entertainment system, he declared his business-class experience on Etihad superior to even some of today's first-class products. "The airshow feature is one of the best I have seen," he writes. "There is a head-up display mode, as well as various other bits and pieces of information such as the pitch and roll rate of the aircraft and the vertical speed indicator. It is packed full of many unique features that any AvGeek is sure to appreciate."
A Telegraph review called the Etihad A380 business studios very comfortable, "undoubtedly some of the most sophisticated business-class seats on offer." The reviewer liked the Poltrona Frau leather of the seats and the brown, taupe, and "understated golds" of the studios. "Storage is ample and a large retractable dining table functions adequately as a desk." Plus, because business class is so vast, "the cabin remains reasonably peaceful even when near capacity."
Etihad has "a relatively sedate lounge area" where drinks, tea, and snacks are available. "It lacks the hubbub found in other airlines' communal spaces...some passengers will no doubt welcome the relative tranquility, and the space itself is inviting."
Two interesting extras that Etihad offers to business-class passengers: a complimentary one-night stay in a five-star hotel in Abu Dhabi or Dubai and a Flying Nanny service that "provides a helping hand with the little ones on long-haul flights."
Tariq El-Asad, director of Tamea International and a frequent traveler to and from the Middle East, likes the design of Qatar's interiors better than that of Emirates. "It's more ergonomic, so it feels more comfortable. I especially like the mod-style business-class seats that were on one London-Doha flight—it felt very futuristic, with both form and function in harmony."
Smith took a long-haul flight from Doha on one of Qatar's 777s and declared his seat, with its 2-2-2 configuration and wide console for each passenger, to be "roomy" but the "retractable privacy barrier was small and not particularly useful." He prefers the herringbone-style configuration where every seat is an aisle seat, which is how the A380 is laid out. He found that when the seat was fully flat, it made for a comfortable bed, especially with the mattress pad that was provided to "help fill in the cushion gaps."
Some of the luxury extras that Qatar likes to promote are the Ladurée desserts, amenity kits from Armani, and Frette linens. "Costing upwards of $1,000 for a sheet set, this is bedding found at some of the most luxurious hotels around the world. No more itchy pillows and flimsy blankets on this flight," according to Vogue.
When Ben Schlappig (onemileatatime.com) flew from Bali to Doha in a 777, he was impressed that he was given pajamas in business class; unfortunately, they were low-quality and didn't fit. (He ordered a size medium, which "fit like a tank top.")
Menus, which are created by international celebrity chefs Nobu Matsuhisa and Vineet Bhatia, take into account "not only flavors and spices, but how the taste buds are altered at 30,000 feet," Schlappig said. The same team oversees the menus in both business and first class.
But best of all, according to Schlappig? "Qatar Airways takes the cake for their onboard bar. They serve Krug Champagne, which is ordinarily only available to first-class passengers. But since the bar is shared by first- and business-class passengers, they offer everyone the 'premium' alcohol selection. Onboard bars don't get better than this, from the decor to the ambiance to the drink selection."
The entertainment system, according to a writer for Abu Dhabi-based The National, an English-language daily newspaper, earned "top marks"—movies from the latest blockbusters to classics such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and a good range of documentaries. "I was thrilled to find Searching for Sugarman," she said. Despite the many choices, Smith thought the interface was terrible. "You scroll through the options using a cursor, and the cursor...moves...very...very...slowly."
There are various differences between the services offered by the three airlines. Here's a look at some of the dining options, including types of food and timing of food service.
Emirates offers a choice of six-course meals. A reviewer for the Telegraph enjoyed the food and wine, although he "had expected the airline to celebrate Arabic cuisine to a greater extent." Patrick Smith (askthepilot.com) doesn't like that Emirates (and Qatar) offer separate service for each passenger—in other words, no aisle cart. "The whole thing feels random and confused, with flight attendants running to and from the galley with plates and trays." The fact that the trays are set with Royal Doulton china and linen tablecloths and napkins may be a consolation for some.
Etihad's "dine anytime" feature made the reviewer at The Telegraph think that "eating at predetermined times when flying business with other airlines may now feel like more of an imposition." The à la carte menu features both Middle Eastern and international dishes; he found his meal of Arabic mezze, chicken supreme, and chocolate and vanilla mousse cake was both "tasty and well-presented."
At Qatar, food is served à la carte and on demand—no set meal or snack times. Some passengers love the idea, but Smith is lukewarm: "It's a little too open-ended, and at no time was this process explained. After takeoff, I sat there for two hours, ravenously hungry and waiting for the service to begin before finally figuring out there was no service." He complains that not once "during the entire flight did a flight attendant ask if I needed anything."
Blogger Ben Schlappig's meal, which included beef rendang (an Indonesian stew) with a "fantastic sauce and the perfect amount of spice" was "top-notch," he said—one of the best he had ever had in business class on any airline.
All three of these airlines have tried to set up their business-class cabins and service so that you can work and relax.
The level of luxe depends on the airline and on the particular model of plane.
Etihad and Emirates offer chauffeur service to and from several airports, while on Qatar it's reserved for first-class passengers only.

I wanted to address my concern about the article in the May 16 issue of The Skyline View on the runoff election. My concerns revolve around my beliefs of an unfair bias within the article. This bias is highlighted within the article at certain points when there is mention to my competitor, Melchie Cabrigas, and the organization that she is a part of, and no mention to any of the organizations that I am a part of within Skyline College. While I do not care to brag about all I have done, I do believe it is only fair that if one individual's organizational commitments are recognized the other individuals should be recognized as well. While I do not believe this will be a direct indication of who will win the elections in the fall, I do believe there should be more attention paid to the all the articles written within the school newspaper and the the biases that they potentially contain.

Q: using octopus with controller specific on heroku I have just started to use the octopus gem with rails, i tried like for the normal case
octopus:
replicated: true
fully_replicated: false
environments:
- development
development:
shard_one:
  host: localhost
  adapter: postgresql
  database: app_development

the above i have used for the testing purpose also the main thing is used as the controller specific, not the model specific. I put this in application controller
def select_shard(&block)
  Octopus.using(:shard_two, &block)
end

and call that method in appropriate controller, so its works, but when i move to heroku i have followed this https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/distributing-reads-to-followers-with-octopus, because i need the reads only for some controller. so in this case how can i use that follower on controller specific?

Q: Typescript compiler error: "Unable to get value of the property 'publicMembers': object is null or undefined" I've found a scenario where I can reliably get the TypeScript compiler to fail with the error message: "Internal error: Unable to get value of the property 'publicMembers': object is null or undefined"
Here's my Repro.ts file:
interface Callback { (data: any): void; }

class EventSource1 {
    addEventHandler(callback: Callback): void { }
}

class EventSource2 {
    onSomeEvent: Callback;
}

export class Controller {
    constructor () {
        var eventSource = new EventSource1();
        // Commenting the next line will allow it to compile.
        eventSource.addEventHandler(msg => this.handleEventFromSource1(msg));
    }
    private handleEventFromSource1(signalState) {
        console.log('Handle event from source 1');
        var eventSource2 = new EventSource2();
        // Commenting the next line will allow it to compile.
        eventSource2.onSomeEvent = msg => this.handleEventFromSource2(msg);
    }
    private handleEventFromSource2(event) {
        console.log("Handling event from source 2.");
    }
}

This may very well be a duplicate of TypeScript compiler crash: publicMembers is null or undefined, but the repro is significantly less complex, so I thought I'd go ahead and post it anyway.
Any thoughts?

A: I have added this to the bug over on Codeplex.
You should vote for that bug if you haven't already to show that it is an issue for you too.
There isn't much else to add to an answer as you are right - this is a bug in the compiler. We just need to wait for the fix.

A: Another workaround. Declare a void return type for the methods:
private handleEventFromSource1(signalState): void { ... }
private handleEventFromSource2(event): void { ... }

A: For what it's worth, the best workaround I've found for the problem so far (until they fix the compiler bug) is to avoid the named Callback interface. In other words, this code works just fine:
class EventSource1 {
    addEventHandler(callback: { (data: any): void; }): void { }
}

class EventSource2 {
    onSomeEvent: { (data: any): void; };
}

class Controller {
    constructor () {
        var eventSource = new EventSource1();
        eventSource.addEventHandler(msg => this.handleEventFromSource1(msg));
    }
    private handleEventFromSource1(signalState) {
        console.log('Handle event from source 1');
        var eventSource2 = new EventSource2();
        eventSource2.onSomeEvent = msg => this.handleEventFromSource2(msg);
    }
    private handleEventFromSource2(event) {
        console.log("Handling event from source 2.");
    }
}


Why You Need Non-slip Coatings.
Floor slips can be nasty and if there is a way you can prevent them, you should take it. If it is a workplace, remember that may fall and slip accidents will be your responsibility which is why a non-slip coatings should be on your agenda. Litigation processes will ensue when someone falls or slips at the property and when it gets to court, you will pay a lot of money to cover for that which is why you should go for the cheaper option which is a non-slip coating. It is also important in for residential properties because you do not want to have to pay high medical bills following a fall accident involved someone in your family. you do not want to be caught on the wrong side of the law because your floors are slippery which is why you should have the non-slip coatings at the place of work because they are included in the floor safety standards and regulations.
In order to make sure the staff are willing to spend as much time at work taking care of productivity, you have to guarantee that they will be safe in the office which means they will not always rush home as the chime for end of business hours sounds and having a non-slip coatings will be a big help. In order to attract more clients to your company, you have to make sure they will be happy there and slippery floors will not do much to help you in this cause. You stand a chance to get a safety-risk management program for use at work when the non-slip coating is being done at a commercial building and the program comes for free, and you also get a guarantee of the products sold and the services offered. If you are buying the coating for your residential house, there will be a longer warranty period which means you will be covered for a very long time.
Accidents at the workplace disrupt business activities and at times you might have to close for a few hours or days which is bad for business and with non-slip coating the possibility that your business activities will go on uninterrupted will be high. You should not worry about having to close the business in order for the non-slip coating to be applied because the service providers can work on the flooring system while the rest of your team does its job. The non-slip coating can be used in various places including car parks, changing rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, clubs, restaurants, canteens, workshops, walking paths, stairs, factory floors, entrances, and offices. Depending on the tiles used for the swimming pool, you can also request for a non-slip coating for this area because it will mean the people using the pool will not get into accidents because the swimming pool flooring system was too slippery.

so having a visible flashlight cone isn't going to happen for a while as it' snot a great priority, but how about having just a small (additive?) glowing sprite instead that's attached to where the light source would be? that way other players could see when the flashlight was in use or not... and perhaps even the LAM though with a much more limited field of visibility (pointing right at you).
When I figure out what's broken with attachments, the LAM will get it's little green laser line back - which makes that idea a bit moot. But a sprite attachment style jobby might be doable.
But really- great way to say "hey over here!"

If it's 40C outside, then definitely summer is officially on! Along with summer comes the school break. To keep the little ones busy, I have enrolled them in a cooking class at APi CAE Gourmet. My little ones are so into cooking so I wanted them to experience how it felt like to be a chef even for one time.
Aside from being an excellent Italian restaurant, APi CAE Gourmet offers cooking courses along throughout the year for the kids. This time, they have their summer cooking camp that caters to different age groups.
I have not availed of the whole summer course. Instead I only enrolled my kids in their Funny Face Pizza class because of my schedule. The kids were so excited to wear their aprons and toque for the first time!
The class was conducted by Denisa. She was an excellent teacher to the kids and very patient.
They held the class inside APi CAE's kitchen, which made the kids even more thrilled! They made one pizza each. They used a ready made dough which they flattened out and then decorated with different toppings to make a funny face.
They also made one calzone each. This time, the kneading of the dough was a little bit more difficult, so Denisa helped them. Calzone is almost the same as pizza except it has a "filling" rather than a "topping."
Of course, we got to eat what my little angels prepared. They also gave the kids juice packs to go. They did not just enjoy making a pizza, but they also enjoyed eating the fruits of their labor.

"Loving Kindness" guided Rabbi David Hartman's Judaism
Feb 12, 2013 Published under Religion
This week, we mourn the loss and celebrate the life of Rabbi David Hartman who died on Sunday. As a teacher and religious leader, Rabbi Hartman championed an adaptive Judaism with loving kindness at the core of his religious philosophy. May his progressive approach to Judaism inspire a greater focus on morality and inclusion in the Jewish community and beyond.
See below for Rabbi Hartman's New York Times obituary as well as a tribute written by Arnold Eisen of JTS to better understand the life and legacy that Rabbi Hartman leaves behind.
Spotted by Daniel Lubetzky, by Julianna Storch
RABBI DAVID HARTMAN, Obituary
JERUSALEM (AP) – Rabbi David Hartman, one of the world's leading Jewish philosophers who promoted both Jewish pluralism and interfaith dialogue, has died. He was 81.
The Shalom Hartman Institute, founded by the rabbi more than 30 years ago, said Hartman died Sunday after a long illness.
The Brooklyn-born Hartman was known for bringing a more liberal Judaism to the conservative brand commonplace in Israel, where he moved in 1971 after holding rabbinical posts in the U.S. and Canada.
He is praised for having developed a unique Jewish philosophy which positioned man at the center of Judaism, opening the door to a more tolerant approach that took personal choice and experience into greater account. Hartman's line of thought places man in a dialogue with God, rather than as an obedient, unquestioning worshipper. He promoted thoughtful criticism and interpretation of Jewish texts and laws among his students, spawning a generation of thinkers who c ontinue to challenge what's traditionally accepted or forbidden under Jewish law.
"Contrary to his teachers who saw Jewish law as signed and sealed, he chose to see it as a type of language where the past and present interact," said Avi Sagi, a professor of philosophy at Israel's Bar-Ilan University who studied and worked with Hartman.
Hartman's death comes amid an ongoing clash between the more liberal streams of Reform and Conservative Judaism and Israel's strict, ultra-Orthodox establishment, which has growing political power and has become increasingly resistant to any inroads by those movements. The liberal streams are demanding more recognition for their traditions in Israel, where they are marginal, although they predominate among American Jews, the largest group of the Jewish diaspora.
While Hartman adhered to the Orthodox tradition, he pushed for a Judaism that was tolerant and open-minded. He was known for his efforts to promote understanding betwe en Jews of various affiliations both inside and outside Israel.
In a 2011 interview to the Yediot Ahronot daily, Hartman spoke out against some religious groups in Israel for their strict interpretation of some aspects of Jewish law.
"It's insane, insane," Hartman said. "These people emphasize marginal issues. The important thing is loving kindness."
"They emphasize trivial things. We lost the deeper meaning," he said. "Do you think that people will want to enter a spiritual life made up only of what is forbidden, forbidden, forbidden?"
The Shalom Hartman Institute was testament to his openness, drawing Jews from many streams, different backgrounds, and accepting men as well as women. Menachem Lorberbaum, a professor at Tel Aviv University who worked closely with Hartman at the institute, said he "inspired a whole new generation of teachers in Jewish philosophy and theology." Beyond his work at the institute, Hartman was widely published and won numero us prizes, including the 1977 National Jewish Book Award.
Hartman was a proponent of women's rights within the religion, where a battle is being waged between some of Israel's Orthodox rabbis and those who support broadening women's roles. "I can't see a Judaism that flourishes" while considering women to be "second rate," he told NPR in 2011. His daughter, Tova Hartman, is a leading Israeli Jewish feminist and one of the founders of an Orthodox feminist synagogue in Jerusalem.
"He advanced political Jewish thought in Israel to a more progressive, democratic and brave place," said Ruth Calderon, a first-time member of Israel's parliament, the Knesset, who studied under Hartman in the 1980s.
Hartman also extended his hand to members of other religions, hosting a yearly theological conference for leaders of the Abrahamic faiths, where priests, imams and rabbis debate and discuss issues that are universal to each, such as death, prayer or tolerance.
Lorbe rbaum said Hartman will be known for his accomplishments on religious ethics, and as "a pioneer of interfaith dialogue."
"He was committed to the notion that morality precedes Jewish law," he said.
Hartman is survived by his wife and five children. His funeral was scheduled for Monday.
A Tribute to David Hartman
by Arnold Eisen, chancellor of The Jewish Theological Seminary
The Jewish world, both in Israel and the Diaspora, lost a great teacher, thinker, and institution builder yesterday when Rabbi David Hartman (z"l) passed away in Jerusalem after a long illness. Many of us also lost a good friend. I happened to be in Florida this weekend, and was talking with Rabbi David Steinhardt on Shabbat afternoon about how much David Hartman meant to each of us, how he had touched our souls and inspired our minds. Sunday morning, we consoled one another for his loss. My friend David Ellenson and I did the same a few minutes later, fighting back tears. It was so with many rabbis, lay leaders, intellectuals, and public figures, including many Gentiles. We will miss David Hartman greatly. We already do.
This is not the moment for full-scale evaluation of David Hartman's legacy. That will come in time. Today, we are still too close to the man and to the shock of his death. But I do want to reflect briefly on why David was, and will always remain, so important to me and to many others.
One factor is the sheer power and force of his mind. David was a brilliant thinker. Ideas flashed through his brain so fast that he did not always have time to process them before sharing them with the rest of us, and we, his students, did not have the time to consider them before straining to keep up with the next insight David presented. He was famous for speaking in two or more languages simultaneously and not finishing sentences in either of them. I first encountered this as a graduate student in the 1970s at Hebrew University, where I had the good fortune to take a course on the halakhic and philosophical issues surrounding the concepts Children of Noah and ger v'toshav(resident alien). It helped me a lot that a Hartman class, though officially conducted in Hebrew, always featured a good measure of English. It helped me even more that I, who had come to Israel both for academic reasons and to deepen my relationship as a Jew with Judaism and with Israel, had a teacher who embodied those commitments. Talmud and Maimonides, for David Hartman, were not subjects in a curriculum, but challenging guides for individual and collective Jewish lives. Never was a teacher more passionate. Few could command the material as David Hartman could—and command his students by means of the material. He made it speak to their hearts and souls as much as to their minds. David took me aside more than once that year for conversation, and then never stopped taking me aside. He did this for countless people. Our devotion to Judaism and Israel are inseparable from our relationship to him.
That is so, in large part, because of David Hartman's message. Just look at the titles of several works in English, so expressive of the man and what he stood for. In 1978, he published Joy and Responsibility: Israel, Modernity and the Renewal of Judaism. Every single article in that collection both teaches and preaches. The learning is marshaled to the cause of moving the reader to accept the challenge of making Judaism come alive in a sovereign State of Israel and a Diaspora where almost every door is opened before Jews. He envisioned halakhah not as a set of dos and don'ts, but as the "ground for creating a shared spiritual language." He warned of the tensions between "Sinai and Messianism," a matter of great urgency, given the rise of Gush Emunim. He wrote about and personified "The Joy of the Torah." The closest thing to a Hartman magnum opus is perhaps A Living Covenant (1985), which bore the Hartmanian subtitle The Innovative Spirit in Traditional Judaism. Once again, Hartman exposited halakhah in a fresh, dynamic way, drawing upon his teacher, Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, but applying his methods—and applying them to Israel—in ways that the Rav had not done. The book is deep, honest, piercing. It wrestles as much as it asserts. That is all the more true in two more recent collections: A Heart of Many Rooms: Celebrating the Many Voices Within Judaism (1999; the title says it all, I think) andThe God Who Hates Lies: Confronting and Rethinking Jewish Tradition (2011), as direct and powerful a dose of Hartman as one could hope for.
I conclude with a final aspect of the gift that was David Hartman, one I will try to capture with two reminiscences. The first is Hartman on stage before thousands at a General Assembly of the Federations in the 1980s or early '90s. He stood far away, on a dais, yet touched people as much during the lecture as he did before and after when he moved through the crowd and literally put his hands on hundreds of shoulders. The glasses came off and on, the talk was punctuated with laughter and—it seemed—tears. I felt like the man on stage was talking to me personally and, from the faces all around me, I inferred that others too felt this way. How David Hartman did this again and again I do not know. I saw him reach people even more directly in smaller rooms of 50 or 100: same effect, same remarkable ability to move people and get their minds working at the very same moment.
And this was the David Hartman that we got to know one on one, and to whom I last spoke in his living room this past November: the man who not only loved the Jewish People in general, wished so much for it, was so frustrated at what it could achieve but failed to achieve, but who also loved individual members of the Jewish People (and many others too). David always wanted the most from the people he befriended—demanded it by urging them on—and gave us the charge to give all we could to the task, lest we fail those who count on us and fail ourselves. I was not privy to the medical details of David Hartman's illnesses in his final years (though I did hear enough to get me worrying about his survival), but I do know that he was a man who just did not hold back. He threw everything he had into the projects he built in Israel (often in the face of concerted opposition from Orthodox authorities), just as he threw himself into every class, every speech, every conversation. He was larger than life because he poured all of his substantial gifts—his nefesh, his life force—into being David Hartman.
May his family and all who mourn him find comfort among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, on both of which he has left a substantial mark. May all of us who care about the life of the Jewish People, and the vitality of Torah, strive to do our best for those causes, and so not let David down.
Saudi King Abdullah Hosting Interfaith Conference that includes Israeli Rabbi
To the chorus of people who complain that religious leaders are not doing enough to raise their voices against extremism and to improve interfaith relations and foster respect, here is an under-reported but remarkable story about a high profile conference to bring foremost Muslims, Christians and Jews together. See also this story. Among the participants [...]
Baruch Obama and Michelle's Cousin, the Rabbi
For Jewish leaders in the Chicago community that know him best, it is striking that so many Jews are suspicious of Barack Obama as a hidden anti-semite or as "bad for the Jews." If anything, Obama was chastised by some for his particularly close relation to Jewish Americans in Chicago. But the political aspersions have [...]
Loving your Enemy AND Being the Captain of your Fate
I often carry around old newspapers whose op-eds or articles I hadn't read. Some times I may be dumb enough to bring one copy across half a dozen trips before getting to it, only to realize I was carrying dead weight. Not just now, when I caught up with last week's op-ed page from the [...]
David Harris on Refugees
I was forwarded a provocative but interesting article by David Harris, head of AJC. While I am a fervent supporter of Israel as the haven and homeland of the Jewish people, I am very sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinian refugees, and I think more will be accomplished by acknowledging their suffering and then [...]
Abe Pollin, a mentsch to emulate
I was really touched by Maureen Dowd's eulogy column about Abe Pollin. He follows the tradition of frugal leaders like David Ben-Gurion, and characters from Isaac Bashevis-Singer's shtetl stories, whose Judaism was about helping those in need.

Victor Veliscu a fost unul dintre cei mai controversați generali SRI.
A fost angajat al lui Sorin Ovidiu Vântu și acționar la FNI.
Veliscu a fost ofițer de securitate și a lucrat, după 1989, în SRI, de unde a plecat în 1991.
Între 1991 și 2001, acesta a lucrat o scurtă perioadă de timp la o firmă a lui Sorin Ovidiu Vântu și a activat, circa un an de zile, și la DGIPI, unitatea de informații a Ministerului de Interne, desființată de Gavril Dejeu.
El a fost reactivat în SRI în martie 2001, cu gradul de colonel, la scurt timp după ce director al acestui serviciu secret a fost numit fostul senator PSD Radu Timofte.
Veliscu a fost angajat atunci pe post de consilier al directorului SRI pe probleme de logistică.
Pentru implicarea sa în dosarul FNI, Veliscu a fost audiat, în 2001, de comisia parlamentară pentru controlul SRI.

Q: Capture Thumbnail Whilte Downloading Youtube Video I want to capture a thumbnail of Youtube video on certain timeline. (e.g. 3.2sec)
I used ytdl and fluent-ffmpeg with node.js to implement it.
It was possible to capture a thumbnail when the downloading has finished.
var fs = require('fs');
var ytdl = require('ytdl');
var ffmpeg = require('fluent-ffmpeg');
var videostream = fs.createWriteStream('video.flv');
var myytdl = ytdl('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A02s8omM_hI');
myytdl.pipe(videostream);
videostream.on('close',function() {
  console.log('Downloading complete...');
  var proc = new ffmpeg({ source: 'video.flv', nolog: true })
  .withSize('150x100')
  .takeScreenshots(1, '/home/test', function(err) {
    console.log(err || 'Screenshots were saved');
  });
});

However, I couldn't implement to capture a thumbnail while downloading. Basic idea of what I want to do is as below.

*

*Download Youtube video starting at X sec. (Worked)

*Pipe it to Readable/Writable(Duplex) Memory Stream (Need Advise)

*During downloading, check if stream has enough data to capture the first frame, which is at X sec. (Need Advise)

*Capture the first frame, then stop downloading

For 2, I've realized that node.js will have Duplex Stream on coming v0.9.x, but it seems not working properly. Anyone who has good idea to implement bullet 2,3?

I could be wrong but I believe the one on the 1908 Yale catalog is a Sager. Which is also on my wish list.
Also, I encourage everyone to go thru this thread again as some of my posts have been updated since the recent thread title change/improvements.
Reactions: dave the wave, New Mexico Brant and hoofhearted
What's interesting, is I see the patent date for the Sager is 1907, which would make sense why it's in the 1908 Yale catalog, but not in my 1906 Yale bicycle and motorcycle catalog.
Reactions: dave the wave, New Mexico Brant, hoofhearted and 1 other person
A couple of notables on the 06' Yale Catalog. It says it's the 11th annual catalog. I'd love to see any of the older ones if someone has them. Most would be Kirk mfg. I'm guessing. Also, my 06' catalog still makes reference to the Kirk Mfg. badge, along with the consolidated manufacturing badge. These badge images are present in the 06' catalog. Perhaps the Kirk mfg. badge didn't disappear right at the time of the formation of Consolidated Manufacturing.
Patric, That might be why we're seeing it on this machine that you referenced in the last image below. I also believe that badge states the consolidated transition on the upper left corner. I'll look for a better example to share.
Reactions: dave the wave, stezell, New Mexico Brant and 1 other person
Since these were posted on a different thread I hope Dave the wave is ok with me referencing these below. They help show some of the Yale & Snell badges that also reference consolidated mfg.
Reactions: New Mexico Brant, Kato, fat tire trader and 2 others
Here's a recently acquired Yale pin that has the consolidated text on the side of the badge image.

Earliest catalog cover that I've found for Kirk Mfg has been 1898.
Here's also a picture of a men's Kirk Mfg. Yale frame(not owned by me) pulled from the web.
Also, had to include a car ad from 1903.
Other ads I recently found are 1907 & 1909. As well as a cushion frame Yale ad and example of an actual bike that perhaps sold online many years back. I've included a Hussey bars ad as well.
Here's the correct image of the eBay Yale cushion frame from many years back. Disregard the image placed in the prior post.

Very interesting stuff. My own interest in the topic relates to my 1903 California motorcycle, probably built by the California Motor Co. in San Francisco, just before Consolidated Mfg Co. bought the company to give is an entry into the motorcycle business. My bike has a California head badge, rather than the later Yale California. The origins of the motorcycle are in California.
Anyway, over the years I have collected a few bits and pieces about Yale history - forgive me if you know all this already.
Ezra E. Kirk (E.A. Kirk in another reference, Edward E. Kirk in another!) started in the bicycle business in 1895, first with the Kirk-Young Mfg Co, and later with the Kirk Mfg Co in Toledo. As can be inferred from head badges above, Kirk manufactured Yale bicycle.
Meanwhile, Snell bicycles were being made by The Snell Cycle Fittings Co, also in Toledo.
It seems that both companies somehow avoided being sucked into "the trust" (the American Bicycle Co.) in 1900.
Kirk and Snell merged in late 1902 to form the Kirk-Snell Mfg Co., with Yale and Snell bicycles produced under this banner until October 1903 when the Consolidated Manufacturing Company was incorporated. Consolidated was referred to as "Successors to the Kirk Mfg Co and the Snell Cycle Fittings Co", so it's possible that the "Kirk-Snell Mfg Co" was an informal name for the merging companies used in 1903, pending the capital raising with the formation of the new company in October.
The California motorcycle was acquired at the October 1903 formation of Consolidated, with L.H. Bill of the California Motor Co moving to Toledo which became the new manufacturing base for the "Yale California" motorcycle. I have seen a period advert for the "Snell California", so it's possible a few motorcycles were sold under the Snell banner in 1904.
Hope this fills in a few gaps.
Reactions: gkeep, dmk441 and hoofhearted
Thank you very much Leon for your contributions to this thread! Yes, very interesting history indeed on how it all came to be. Also, How fortunate you are to own a 1903 California Motorcycle. It would also be great to know more specifics about that machine(mechanical design aspects & components, motor serial number, etc.) as well, given that few of us have probably ever seen one, but would certainly love to.
