The Cakewalk/Roland partnership has resulted in a flexible, feature-packed device that oozes quality.
Built-in mixer. Flexible audio I/O with great preamps. Useful control surface. Ofers standalone mixing/recording. Rich software bundle.
Limited as a control surface. Recorder disabled when USB is active.
For the modern musician, the computer often fulfils multiple audio roles, and if your musical activities extend beyond the studio, that usually means carting around not just your computer, but a suitable audio interface and perhaps a controller, too.
Cakewalk's collaboration with parent company Roland has thrown up a potential solution, though, in the form of the V-Studio 100, a compact package that's not only an audio interface, but also a controller and standalone recorder. It works with Windows and Mac OS X, and comes bundled in a healthy collection of software, too.
Like its much bigger (and pricier) sibling the V-Studio 700, the VS-100 is a USB 2.0 device (though not a bus-powered one) that combines numerous technologies in a single package. It's got audio inputs and outputs, plus a basic mixer, flash recorder, control surface and even a motorised fader thrown in for good measure. Naturally, a few things have been left out in order to squeeze all of this in, but the compact VSf100 is a surprisingly well-equipped unit.
Plugged into your computer via USB, the VS-100 provides a versatile set of inputs and outputs. On the front are balanced mic and line ins with preamps and dedicated level controls, plus a high-impedance switch for guitars on the first input. On the back are two more balanced mono ins and an unbalanced stereo phono pair, for a total of six analogue inputs, and there's a stereo digital input, too.
As for outputs, the V-Studio 100 has four balanced and two unbalanced channels, with the unit running at up to 24-bit/96 kHz. There's also MIDI In and Out, plus phantom power for mics that need it.
"Whether connected to your computer or running standalone, the VS-100 doubles as a mixer."
Some audio interfaces offer more connectivity for your money, but the V-Studio 100 provides an optimal set of ins and outs for everyday usage. Most importantly, the preamps are clean and transparent, which is especially nice given the price of the box.
Whether connected to your computer or running standalone, the VS-100 doubles as a mixer, with hardware knobs for controlling channel levels/panning and the onboard digital compression, EQ and reverb. In addition, the audio interface can mix signals direct to the output without any latency introduced by routing the audio through software. Some competing audio interfaces offer similar functionality, but they typically lack the hardware controls that make mixing on the VS-100 so easy.
A 100mm motorised fader for adjusting the level of the active track, buttons for markers and track controls, an assignable encoder and a transport section are onboard. Because the VS-100 supports the Mackie Control protocol, it integrates with non-Cakewalk DAWs like Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper and Live. If you're a Sonar user, though, support for Cakewalk's ACT (Active Controller Technology) intelligently and automatically maps the additional controls on the mixer portion of the VS front panel.
The unit is fairly limited in comparison to other models, as there just aren't that many physical controls, but it does a good job of covering the basics, whether or not you use Sonar.
If you like to travel without lugging a laptop about, the VSf100 is a worthy addition to your kit bag. The mixer functions and effects all work independently of USB, so you can carry just the device and its power supply.
There's an onboard wave recorder, which uses SD flash memory cards; and with SDHC support, you can easily add gigabytes of storage for recording whole live sets or rehearsal sessions. The recording is stereo only, but coupled with the mixer, you could easily capture a full band mix. Like Roland's mobile recorders, there are also marker and loop functions - useful for practicing certain sections of an arrangement or queuing up backing tracks. There's even a metronome.
"If you like to travel without lugging a laptop about, the VSf100 is a worthy addition to your kit bag."
The bad news is that the flash recorder is disabled when the unit is plugged into the computer, so you can't record the output of the mixer or make SD recordings of your laptop or band performance with the USB connection active. Cakewalk says that Roland is aware of this drawback and is investigating whether a firmware upgrade could resolve the issue.
The V-Studio 100 comes with a generous software bundle for Mac and PC. There are the Cakewalk Studio Instruments, comprising bass, drum kits, electric piano and strings, which sound pretty and have a lovely GUI to match, plus Guitar Rig 3 LE.
The effects really stand out, adding genuine value to the bundle. The VXf64 Vocal Strip is a surprisingly powerful combination of a terrific-sounding deesser, compressor/expander, tube-emulating equaliser, doubler and synced delay. Vocalists often get left out of software consideration, but here they get a rich rack of tools for recording. The Boost 11 Peak Limiter provides a nice mastering limiter, and Channel Tools offers indispensable utilities like L/R swap, stereo and mid-side adjustments for recording stereo mic pairs and delay.
There's also a special edition of Sonar (for PC only), called Sonar VS. For those seeking a new tool for multitrack recording and arranging, this is a strong choice, as it feels like a full-on DAW and not just a bundled extra. The interface is clean and straightforward, being user-friendly but without sacrificing any serious functions. It certainly contains everything most users will need for audio/MIDI recording and arranging.
It's hard to deny the value of the VS-100. The audio interface alone is a winner for its great preamps and rock-solid Mac and Windows drivers, especially when combined with the utility of a flying fader and transport buttons. Throw in a basic mixer with real hardware controls and a fine software bundle, combined with the ability to mix and record even without the computer, and the VSf100 is a near-perfect do-everything box.
You may want to look elsewhere if you're primarily interested in audio I/O, or if you prefer a dedicated control surface and/or mixer, but otherwise, this could well be the home and mobile producer's best friend.

Press Release (ePRNews.com) - FREMONT, Calif. - Nov 30, 2018 - Learn and Play Montessori, a highly-rated preschool, daycare and kindergarten school with locations in Danville, Dublin, and Fremont, is proud to announce a new post for Union City parents and families. Parents could learn that the best "Union City" preschool can be found in a neighboring town. Working parents can locate four top Montessori schools in Fremont. A site in Niles, for example, can provide Union City parents with an accessible drop-off and pick up point for preschool children.
Bay Area cities are right next door to each other. Sometimes a driver won't even realize they've passed from one city to another.
Here is the background on this release. Young families living in rural California may need to commute several miles from home to arrive in another city. Grocery shopping or driving a child to a soccer game could take time away from a busy schedule. Bay Area families might appreciate the benefits of urban living. Driving to a young child's birthday party from Fremont to Union City, for example, could take only five minutes. If a working parent needs to find a top Union City preschool, the right choice could be located in a city nearby.

There would turn out to be four Inner Circle cartoons, only two of which were published in Hydra. The full set can be found in Bodstoons.


European airlines and unions are taking a unified stance against plans by Norwegian Air International to hire cheaper Thai staff.
KLM, Air France-KLM, Lufthansa and unions from France, The Netherlands and Germany have submitted a petition to the European Commission, requesting that regulators put an end to the move which they fear will jeopardise European jobs and social standards in the field of aviation.
Norwegian Air International is offering scheduled services from the UK to the US, operating under an Irish license, and plans to employ crewmembers from Thailand that are hired through a Singaporean agency.
Following industry opposition in the US, European institutions have also objected to the move in an open petition to president of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker.
"Competition in aviation is intense and it keeps us sharp. However, through business models like this we risk entering a downward spiral to the social bottom, risking thousands of qualified European jobs," stated the petition.
"If we allow Norwegian Air International to start employing Thai crew on the EU-US routes, others will soon follow and jobs will be lost inside the European Union and created elsewhere.
The European aviation stakeholders have requested that the European Commission follow the US example, where authorities have not yet approved Norwegian Air International's foreign carrier permit.
The low cost carrier has not yet received full approval from US Department of Transportation (DoT), but it is operating to US cities nonetheless.
Meanwhile, the European carrier is proving popular with passengers, reporting strong results through November 2014. Norwegian reported traffic growth of 21% last month, carrying more than 1.7 million passengers and achieving a load factor of 79%.
Norwegian CEO, Bjorn Kjos, says this is evidence that it is not labour standards that the industry objects to, but rather the low fares which are proving competitive.

On the way to work this morning, Mr. Wapojif overheard three teenage girls having a (very loud) discussion about eggs. They love them – in certain variations. One loves omelettes, the other doesn't, likening it to a "giant fried egg without the good bit". This being the yolk, presumably. Boiled eggs were discussed for 10 solid minutes, whilst "Cup Eggs" (!?) were thrown about in the conversation with wild abandon. The subject then moved to the availability of food at college, including the fact there were crisps available to purchase. One then took a liking to hash browns, and stated she wanted a "giant hash brown" with alphabet spaghetti hoops on top, and melted cheese. As the vehicle we were on went by a Subway Sandwich store, attention turned to this. One teenage girl noted she would, "absolutely annihilate a breakfast balm". This swung the conversation around to bacon and sausages, before the girls alighted aforementioned vehicle. The whole debate lasted for over 30 minutes.
This got us thinking about eggs as well. We're fond of eggs a great deal. Boiled eggs and soldier toast men things, omelettes with bizarre fillings (marmite), cous cous, kedgeree… erm… that stuff what goes on cakes. Marzipan! We remembered. Yeah, so for egg based conversations to wow your friends and family with, read on Macduff!
An obvious conversation starter, and an idiotic piece of psychological claptrap. It's sexist, as well. And racist. In fact, anyone who asks this question should be punched in the face immediately by Albert Einstein lookalikes. It's pretty obvious what existed first, anyway – cake. Cake makes the world go round. Whoever denies this is a Hippy and a Communist.
When will someone invent Egg Soup?
Will you take up the challenge, Miss. Chick?
A great conversational point; why doesn't Egg Soup exist? It'd be awesome! Obviously, if you don't like eggs, you're not going to have a great meal, but if you LOVE eggs then you're sorted. We think Egg and Spinach Soup would work. Egg and marmalade? Probably not. Egg and Spam. We could go on all day, we thought we'd just throw this one out there.
What was up with Humpty Dumpty?
A 1904 version of Humpty. Additional: Most of us were dead in 1904.
Nowhere in the rhyme does it state Humpty is an anthropomorphic egg, but for some reason we all think he is. Egg propaganda from Communists, probably. Anyway, more pertinent is the issue thusly: why was Humpty Dumpty sitting on the wall? Was he trying to get piles? Was he some hoodlum causing trouble? Did he call the King a "poohead" so all the King's Horses and men went mental and tried to mash him up a bit? Discuss.
A marzipan cake, displaying two human adults prior to a boxing match. This is what we presume's happening, anyway.
If you were/are unfamiliar with the word, it looks like "Mars in a pan". On a scientific level, we must state it's not possible to fit the planet Mars into a frying pan. Unless you built a really massive one. According to our sauces, Mars has an orbital eccentricity of 0.093315, which makes it pretty damn eccentric. Certainly mad enough to agree to frying itself with the biggest frying pan known to humanity. Thus, consequently, Marzipan would exist. Do you agree with this hypothesis? Discus.
Would England's Greatest Living Thespian agree to the Eggs Benedict name change? Who gives a damn what he thinks, this should be the norm in British restaurants!
To be honest, we wrote the first bit without realising this was an American dish. According to our sauces, Eggs Benedict Cumberbatch is an, "American breakfast dish that consists of two halves of an English muffin, topped with ham or bacon, poached eggs, and Hollandaise sauce." So, there you go readers, never presume anything. Still, imagine the thrill of having a gimmicky restaurant playing this up! You'd have some poor waiter dressed as Khan serving you Eggs Benedict Cucumberpatch, and you'd shreek with delight and insist you post at least 30 pictures on Instagram. Hoo, yeah! Do you agree? Disqus.

If you're on Day 3…how was it? I am sure everyone's experiences are different. We all have different body types & circumstances. To all the Day 3 cleansers- it's almost over! Yay!
Tonight I am have a grilled chicken with spaghetti squash & chopped up veggies. I thought today's juice tasted the worst. Not going to lie, I am excited it's almost over. I miss my light beer wine! However, I feel completely rejuvenated, less bloated, & my skin feels clear. Congratulations to all of you who are almost done! TGIF could not be a more appropriate statement for everyone who's on Day 3- happy Friday!
Finished the cleanse! Day 3 wasn't bad I agree the juice tasted, too veggie but got it all down. The only thing I noticed this day was that I didn't have as much energy for the gym, so I kept my workout minimal. Lost 5 pounds total, wasn't really worried about the weight loss, more so just feeling better in general. Which I do! Will do this again next time you do! Thanks for sharing.
On the 3rd day of the cleanse and feeling good! To me, yesterday was the hardest. Dinners were that much better these past 3 days and I really liked exploring new things for dinner like Spaghetti Squash. Thanks for posting this! It's pretty awesome and I'm super motivated now to continue with my healthy eating again after those holidays.
Have not weighed myself yet. (don't want to get stuck on that) but I can definitely feel a change!
Your juices look delicious and I'm excited to start the cleanse. I was just curious what the recipes were for each juice, how much solid food you can eat for dinner and if you can snack on fruits and veggies throughout the day or if it's simply liquid. Also how often can you do this?


Auditions for 2018-2019 are closed.
Auditions take place every September and are open to all Harvard undergraduates. The audition will consist of two parts. First, treat us to a 2-4 minute performance of your choosing that displays your musical and technical abilities. This could be playing an instrument, or even tapping out rhythms on pens and pencils. Next, a member of THUD will teach you a few basic bucket jams to observe your learning style and give you a taste of what we're all about. We aim for auditions to be low stress, so don't sweat it!


The Republicans have proven that they are incapable of reading or comprehending anything regarding the Iran Deal aside from it simply not happening. Their public statements blatantly contradict what news sources from CNN to PolitiFact have confirmed is true about the deal and it is clear that they are geared towards fanning the flames of misdirected hysteria of a nuclear Iran than deal with the truth that the current deal would make it impossible for Iran to go nuclear for the next fifteen years.
The first point that the Republicans have missed is that the current Iran Deal will reduce Iran's supplies of enriched uranium to three percent of what it is today—meaning that they will be incapable of making a nuclear weapon for as long as the investigations of their centrifuges occur (in this case at least for 15 years). Both PolitiFact's Linda Qiu and the actual text of the Iran Deal posted by the CNN Staff confirms this. Despite this, Republicans announce that the Iran Deal will "...be a holy hell," as quoted by NPR's Tamara Keith on Lindsey Graham's statements regarding the deal. Republican House Representative Steve King also claims on CNN with Deidre Walsh and Ted Barrett that, "...it paves the way not just for a nuclear Iran, but a very highly powered nuclear Iran".
In other words, the Republicans are stating that if I make a deal with Eastern Michigan University that I'm going to let them take away all of my tuition assistance, I will be going to college for free. There is no possible way that I could go to college for free, as I no longer am receiving any tuition assistance, and yet Representative King and Graham will incessantly insist that my getting no tuition assistance will bankrupt Eastern and I will be going to the university for free.
The Republicans have also proven that they are incapable of taking into consideration the point of view of our allies as well. Phillip Ackerman, Germany's Ambassador, insisted to The Washington Post that there is almost no chance of getting a better, or even a second deal regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities, if this deal falls through. British Ambassador Peter Westmacott also told The Washington Post's Carol Morello that he believes the deal with Iran is solid.
The Republicans have proven on this sole matter that they are incapable of comprehending any deal that does not exactly fit their needs to the point of harming our allies' trade lines, our country's diplomatic image and allowing us to monitor the Iran they believe to be so dangerous. Despite all five countries that make up the United Nations Security Council lobbying on Capitol Hill for this deal on U.S. soil, the Republicans have made it clear that not only are they illiterate in this matter, but they are incapable of meeting any sort of global deal brought to their side of the table that does not involve Israel.


The Hollinwood Canal is derelict and navigation is no longer possible. It ran to the east of Manchester, heading generally northwards from the Ashton Canal at Fairfield Junction.
The Fairbottom Branch ran to the east and the separate Werneth Branch Canal extended the route to the north.
The Hollinwood Canal initially runs through urban areas, then through open countryside until it returning to an urban environment as it reaches Hollinwood.
NOTE: Bridges figures are for opening bridges (lift, swing etc.) which are normally closed across the navigation and low enough to require opening for a narrowboat.

The member contribution cost for food and lodging is $50. We have brought this down from $80 in past years to keep it reasonable while not putting all of the cost on the club. The cost includes lodging and 5 meals. Per our traditional principle, if the cost is an undue burden, please contribute what you can. Being there is far more important than the money. REALLY. We all chip in on the "chores" throughout the weekend and there are plenty of ways to go above and beyond to work off a few bucks.

Fran Escribá, the architect of Elche's dream
The Valencia-born coach has turned Elche into a steady side, capable of going head to head with the best sides in the best league in the world; Liga BBVA.
"There's only one secret to success, to learn from your mistake and continue working", is how Fran Escribá sums up his coaching philosophy on his website. A thought and a way of life that has seen him gain professional success as the boss of Elche CF, who he took back to Liga BBVA after 24 years of absence, and kept them there.
His time spent on the bench is laden with success. He started as an assistant, under Quique Sánchez Flores. Getafe CF, Valencia CF, SL Benfica and Club Atlético de Madrid were all part of the learning curve.
The core of the side remains, something that means they should reap the rewards of hard work.
His first steps as the top boss could not have been better. The side from Alicante game him his chance, with promotion to Liga BBVA on the cards. It had been 24 long years since they Green and Whites were in the elite, but Escribá did not let them down.
Direct promotion after winning Liga Adelante in 12/13 was achieved. Teams such as Villarreal, who are now in Europe, Almería and co all finished behind Escribá's side, with Carles Gil, Alberto Rivera and Edu Albácar pulling the strings on the pitch. Six defeats and 13 draw over 42 games were enough for the team to return to the big time.
Return to the elite
The 2014/15 season will be the club's second in Liga BBVA since its return. The core of the side remains, something that means they should reap the rewards of hard work. The club's adaptation to the new league was not the easiest, with three defeats and three draws coming from their first six games last season, meaning the road to safety was not straight forward.
24 had passed since the last time Elche were in the top division, and Escribá did not let them down.
Some key players have changed shirts: Colombian Carlos 'la Rocha' Sánchez, midfielder Rubén Pérez, Carles Gil and Fidel Chávez have all moved on. However, the courage of Damián Suárez, the electricity of David Lombán, the flair of Edi Albácar and the experience of Manu Herrera all remain under Escribá's guise, alongside new signings such as Jonathas, Pašalić and Fayçal Fajr. Together they will look to keep the dream alive for Martínez Valero faithful: to continue to watch their side mix it with the big boys in Liga BBVA.
"Players who give their all in each game and each training session are, for me, the only indispensable ones", Fran Escribá. This is the philosophy of the architect of Elche's dream.

Sometimes, dating can seem tedious -- too tedious. It can even start to be a bit of a nuisance. If you've started to compare going on dates to visiting the gyno, it's probably time to take a break from dating.
Having "me time" is a necessity. One of the benefits of being single is being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want. If you have an urge to go to yoga at 7 am on a Saturday and there's no man begging you to stay in bed, you can go!
Regardless of your relationship status, you should be able to do anything and everything that makes you happy. If dating is consuming all of your free time and you're having trouble putting yourself first, take a break!
When you're going on many dates, it's easy to get discouraged. Maybe you've met men who seem good on paper, but aren't amazing enough for you. Or, perhaps, maybe you've been on many first dates and wanted them to turn into second dates.
Whatever the scenario, if you've been on multiple dates and you're still single, it's natural to be disappointed. When your dating outlook starts to feel negative, it's time for a dating hiatus. Being a pessimist or cynic won't help you meet Mr. Right.
Timing is everything. You should never feel like you have too much going on at once, or like you're being pulled in all different directions. If you can't give all of yourself to dating, simply don't date.
If your life is super demanding, focus on yourself. When the time is right, you can put yourself out there again.
If you'd rather schedule a doctor's appointment than go on a date, now is not the right time to meet new people. Your heart has to be in the dating game.
If you still think about your ex before you fall asleep at night, it's too soon to be dating. Make sure you're over your ex before you move on to the next.
Yes, some people say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone new, but that's not always the case.
If you're looking for a lasting and meaningful relationship, make sure you're emotionally available.
Does the thought of meeting new people seem awful? Are you going through the motions of dating thoughtlessly? Are you dating because your family told you to? When you lose interest in dating, a rest is mandatory.
When you meet someone new, you want to look and feel like a million bucks. You should be so confident that as soon as you walk into a room, all eyes are on you. You want to be the girl every man wants to meet.
If you're not feeling absolutely fabulous about yourself, now is not the right time to date. You don't want the men you're meeting to think you're anything but the super awesome person you are.
Men want to date women who are intoxicating to be around. A woman who exudes positivity is alluring. If you're feeling a bit unenthusiastic or negative, men will notice it. If you're coming off as anything but cheerful and lighthearted, you'll turn off more men than you excite.
The minute you feel doubt or cynicism, stop dating.
Dating can easily make you feel burnt out and just plain exhausted. If you take a step back and realize you've been a serial monogamist since you were in middle school, you may need to re-evaluate your choices.
Do you have goals you want to accomplish? Do you want some time for yourself? If so, there's no time like the present to take a break from dating!


The last of the Summer Off-Road League fixtures seems a long time ago and it is therefore worth catching up on some notable Courier performances since then…and there have been a few. Forgive me if I have missed some out but I need to be told of your exploits if I don't see them myself!
I have asked Eliot and Dave to write their own reports on, respectively, their great international debut and stunning marathon performance [some 30 years after his last one and a few minutes quicker too!] Hope to see these in print soon!
It was good to watch Matt carrying off first prize in the recent Hereford Festival 10K beating a big field and clearly sharpening up for the winter ahead. Geoff has, as always, raced sparingly but managed to get himself a couple of miles down the road for the Credenhill Canter where he took his category prize. He was not so amused to find that the award was described as for 1st Under 70. Won't be long before he's chasing the Under 80 trophy.
Triathlon is luring not only Eliot, but the old Brylcream boy himself, Steve Littlewood, who scored a mightily impressive hat trick of age category victories in the Slateman, Sandman and Snowman all in North Wales and involving 400m swims in open water [sea in the Sandman], 5K runs over tough terrain and 12 [or 18 in the Snowman] mile bike rides. The water was a bit cold in the last one and the poor old boy suffered serious anatomical discomfort and has only just started to feel himself again. In addition to his Welsh exploits, he also gained a category 2nd at Droitwich and 3rd at Ludlow. They call him Podium Prince and he now has his sights set on a half Ironman next year.
With Steve busy in the north, the Herring had a clear run in the South Wales Summer Series, notching the V60 title after easing round the Black Mountains 17 miler at a sedate pace a couple of weeks ago. This followed a 16th out of 55 [and 2nd out of 6 GB] in the World Masters Mountain Running Champs in Telfes, Austria on a 4.5 mile course uphill for 2,500 feet and finishing at just under 8,000 feet. Nice fresh air but not enough of it!
So, onward to the Winter Cross Country season when no doubt the ghost of Mike Link will be made flesh again to bathe in mud. We'll miss Luke James and Larisa but there's no reason why we shouldn't have a great series. Let's go for it!

I know in Russia people are getting ready to celebrate May holidays, but I didn't remember the significance of all the days. So, I googled it and found this interesting image. In the U.S., we don't celebrate International Workers' Day on 1 May. We have a similar holiday called "Labor Day," which is celebrated on the first Monday of September. It's a national holiday, and officially marks the end of summertime. I understand that in modern day Russia the holiday has lost some significance, and it is mainly a day of protest.
Should I continue to publish reports this week, or will everyone be away from LiveJournal? How will you spend the holidays? Unfortunately, I no longer have my flight benefits through United Airlines, so my overseas travel this summer will now be much less. Soon, I'll put up a poll and readers can vote on my next U.S. destination. You will recall I did this last year, and readers sent me to Wyoming. I'm thinking of Colorado, Montana, or maybe somewhere in Canada.
I wish everyone a relaxing holiday, whether you spend it traveling or with family!
It's the closest American holiday for comparison purposes. We have crazy grandmas here also. :)) I think babushkas are either really sweet, or very, very scary and mean!!
Nowadays virtually nobody in Russia thinks of 1 May as `Workers's Day`.
However, as it's close to 9 May — Victory Day, — these holdiays togeter are often referred to as `May holidays` and play the role of extra long holidays, like the Christmas ones.
Just a free day off of work then? Great to have so many days off in a row. In America, we don't really have this. Holidays are usually on Mondays, so we get long three day weekends.
Well, at present I dare say it has completely lost any significance. I bet most of the schoolchildren will hesitate to explain what it is all about (at least, mine failed). There is no official or traditional pattern for celebration, so it has lost its meaning. I suspect that even our government doesn't have any idea, what is this holiday about now.
But it traditionally means 3-4 days off, and combined with Victory day (9th of May) it makes a week or more of general idling. Those who have money, go abroad (so all destinations are at least 1, 5 times more expensive for this period), those who don't - devote their free time to children, relatives, or gardening. In many regions of Russia it is the beginning of gardening season, so people go to their 'dachas' (I suppose you are already familiar with this part of our culture?) and begin digging, mending, cleaning or planting.
As for our family, we will use this 4-days holiday to visit my husband's parents who live in 700 km from us, and so will do his brother with his family, so it will be an enormous family gathering (10 people in total, including 4 children).
Sure, I know all about dachas but have never visited one. :( Pity! We have our own dacha type place where my family gathers on most summer weekends. Well, dacha American style. :) I wrote a post about it - http://peacetraveler22.livejournal.com/24617.html. Enjoy the time with your family!
No holiday on May 1st, even though the actual event that was originally commemorated on that day happened in Chicago!
It is a common day to organize protests and demonstrations. Not just social protests any more.
In Moscow there is usually an official trade union demonstration, a communist meeting and some smaller events. This year the nationalists are going to participate though their day is different (the infamous November 4 that the government tries to introduce to replace November 7, the day of Russian revolution in 1917 - they took a chance).
But May 9 - the Victory day - is celebrated much wider.
Yeah, I read the same Wiki article. :) How will you and Maria celebrate the holidays? Going anywhere?
Guam? It has never been on my list of travel destinations. What is interesting there?
I am going to go to Kazan tomorrow by car.
Have fun! Many people tell me this is a beautiful city.
I hate Lenin, Stalin and communism. And I do not celebrate these May holidays. Let god curse it.
I doubt most people are actually celebrating the holidays. They simply view them as days off of work.
>it is mainly a day of protest.
Will you do anything exciting during the break, or just relax?
I don't remember for sure, but I think the May 1 tradition originally came from Chicago (it was somehow associated with the first trade unions in the late 19th century).
As of your question, I'm in Amsterdam now, and still reading LJ:).
Amsterdam is a beautiful city, especially in spring time! Yes, Chicago plays a role in the history of the holiday.
In Soviet times there was an official demonstration on Red Square.
We also had a parade and a demonstration after it on the 7th of November.
But at least we still have the impressive Victory Day parade!
At 46:11 mobile strategic missiles run and then aviation.
in the countryside we usually wait for these days to work in our gardens. so, as every year, we'll plant, plant, plant as much as we can.
Does not sound like a holiday! Planting/gardening hard work.
I recently witnessed such chaos at the Israeli border crossings. That was enough excitement to last awhile!
You are about to loose the significant part of your fans. Mr. Putin believes the internet prevents russian people from being happy and loyal citizen because it is the weapon of CIA as he suggested. Soon russian internet starts to function the same way as in China and Zhe Zhe will be probable closed.
I read his absurd statement that the Internet is entirely controlled by the CIA!! Maybe he's been chatting with fritzmorgen? :)) In the event .RUnet goes down, I'm prepared. You can find me at peacetraveler22.com. I reserved the domain over a year ago.

Buy Lixus Labs. Equipoise 200 mg/ml 9ml vial
Please note that this product is on a half price sale because they are past their expiry date (06/2017,). Having said that, they are perfectly fine to use and will be for many years to come. Think of it like the tin of baked beans in your cupboard...they will be fine to eat in 20 years and will still have the same taste and nutritional value then, as they do now. For these products, this is even more true as they are not perishable like foods and were all manufactured and sealed in a sterile environment.
Boldenone Undecylenate Injection USP
200mg/1ml
9 ml Multi-Dose Vial
Intramuscular Injection
Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate)
Equipoise was actually created while attempting to make a product which would be be a long acting injectable d-bol (Methandrostenolone). What was actually created was a product which, in the real world acts nothing like D-bol, despite its similarity to it chemically. A simple way to think of Equipoise, chemically at least, is simply as Dianabol without the 17-alpha-methyl group (thats the thing which makes D-bol able to be ingested orally and not be destroyed by your liver). However, having had first hand experience with both Equipoise as well as D-bol, I can tell you that the results from each are vastly different.
To make Equipoise, a double bond was added between carbon atoms 1 and 2 of the Steran Nucleus of Testosterone. What does this mean? Well, first of all, since Equipoise was created by one simple modification in the testosterone molecule, you could rightly suspect that it shares many similarities with it. Equipoise is just as anabolic as testosterone (as you can tell by its anabolic rating above), but only half as androgenic. Those ratings can be quite deceiving though, as I don't know anyone who would claim that you can gain as much weight on Equipoise as you can gain on an equal amount of testosterone (even though strength gains from the two compounds are very similar).
Its not very common to compare Equipoise to testosterone; however a far more common comparison is between Equipoise and Deca. I suspect this is because when Dan Duchaine introduced this compound to the steroid using community, he made an immediate comparison to Deca, speculating that it would act similarly to Deca but like a much stronger version of it. Equipoise doesn't actually act much like deca at all; Deca is actually a progestin and a 19-nor derived steroid whereas Equipoise is more closely related to testosterone (being only one double bond differ rent). Duchaine later rescinded his original statement on Equipoise and said that it was disappointing as a mass builder when compared with deca, but a far better drug than for both strength gains and vascularity. Unfortunately, the myth that Equipoises action is similar to Deca's has persisted for nearly 2 decades after he revised his opinion; this is most evident on internet message boards today, where many will advise against including both of them in a cycle because "they act the same way."
The 1-2 double bond that Equipoise has is responsible for many of its characteristics. First of all, it acts to slow aromatization (conversion into estrogen). The best estimate is that it does so at roughly half the rate of testosterone (1). This is the best number Ive found in studies. Athletes almost never report estrogenic side effects with Equipoise, even when the dose is up to a gram per week. Side effects caused by estrogen include oily skin, acne, and gynocomastia, and as I said, those are usually not found from Equipoise. Virilization (development of male sexual characteristics in women) is almost never seen with this compound, when reasonable doses are used by female athletes. This is one of the few injectable compounds which could be successfully be used by female athletes and bodybuilders, and isn't often faked.
Clinical Equipoise and Athletes
That double bond is also responsible for Equipoises resistance for being changed by the 5- 5-Alpha-reductase enzyme (2)(3). This enzyme converts a small amount of Boldenone into Dihydroboldenone, which is a very potent androgen (7x as anabolic as testosterone)(4). As I said though, such a small amount of it is converted that its really of no concern to most athletes taking Equipoise. This factor, plus its low aromatization rate mean athletes don't need to consider using ancillaries with Equipoise.
Athletes taking Equipoise often report a slow and constant buildup of quality muscle, and certainly this has been my experience with the drug. I would speculate that this slow buildup of muscle is due to the very long ester attached to the Boldenone; Undeclynate is a longer ester than the decanoate ester by one carbon. Thus, we could expect the accumulation of muscle from Equipoise to actually occur at a slightly slower rate than that found with Deca (nandrolone decanoate). This leads me to advise that if you are considering the use of Equipoise, you should consider using it for no less than 12 weeks. Equipoise, like Deca, is also detectable in your system for a long time (although it is substantially less than Deca's detection time).
Strangely, shorter estered versions of Boldenone are available as well. Anecdotally, many people (and manufacturers) claim that this produces less water retention...but water retention from Equipoise is virtually unheard of, so I consider this to be a silly idea.
An informal poll I took on Steroid.com (as well as with my friends) seems to put the ideal dose of Equipoise at 600mgs/week. Most people I asked about their Equipoise experience with Equipoise seemed to think that using over 600mgs/week produced no additional results, but the jump from 400mgs/week to 600mgs/week produced noticeable additional gains, and thus was warranted. I have personally found very nice results from 400mgs-600mgs/week myself.
Equipoise Side Effects
One of the most pronounced effects in Equipoise is its ability to raise your RBCs (red blood cells). This is very typical of anabolic steroids; however, Equipoise would appear to do it to a slightly greater degree than most. One of the other effects most Equipoise users report is an increased appetite. I can say that this is true of me, also; this factor makes it impossible for me to diet on it. Its because of this ability to increase appetite that many will include Equipoise in a mass cycle, and its for the quality of muscle gained on it that many will include it in a cutting cycle. Its probably the most versatile injectable compound, next to testosterone. People even use a low dosed version of Equipoise to blend with irritating injectable drugs suck as testosterone suspension or Propionate. Im thinking of the old Ganabol version which was dosed at 50mgs/ml, here... its not that Equipoise is especially good to cut other steroids with, but the low dose and cost of Ganabol made it ideal to do this with, when sterile oil wasn't available or desirable. This low dosed version was also very popular with women, who were comfortable shooting 1cc of this stuff every few days or every week.
Equipoise will cause a suppression of your hormones, such as endogenous testosterone, so I would also recommend using injectable testosterone in any cycle containing it. Failure to do so could result in possible sexual dysfunction and other sides.

Atlantic butterfish, illustrated here in 1901, haven't come far as a food species this century. East Coast fishermen are now angling to change that.
If someone mentions butterfish you may smack your lips, absolutely want to avoid it, or just scratch your head. That's because the prolific and sustainable Atlantic butterfish, an oily little species ranging from Florida to Newfoundland, has some big mistaken identity issues. Consider these top hits from web searches:
"Butterfish is my new favorite" reads one Trip Advisor headline about a Baltimore restaurant. The diner called it "maybe the best fish I've ever eaten." Celebrity chef Roy Yamaguchi has gotten national press for his butterfish recipe, which the Hallmark Channel deems "a scrumptious seafood dish that will melt in your mouth!"
But just as you're savoring the thought of butterfish you see the Livestrong cancer site: they agree about the delicate flavor, but warn against eating more than 6 ounces per meal because it "can cause the sickness known as keriorrhea (which) turns your stool orange."
Dig deeper, and the confusion grows: Chef Roy has roughly 30 restaurants that may feature butterfish, but the menu notes that it is actually Alaskan black cod. And the butterfish Livestrong warns you about? It's escolar, a deepwater species that has nothing in common with Atlantic butterfish.
The confusion is relevant because the real butterfish could appear at a restaurant near you. In 2017 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that Atlantic butterfish "are not overfished and not subject to overfishing." They're tasty too.
"I love them, they're absolutely delicious," said Gregory DiDomenico, executive director of the Garden State Seafood Association. Commercial fishermen have taken note. DiDomenico told NOAA that "people are very much looking forward to getting into this fishery. That means jobs on the boat, jobs at the plant, and fishermen buying more gear."
Yet even with abundant stocks of tasty Atlantic butterfish and people ready to catch them, the fish still need another ingredient: good branding.
Making the sale
Barry Nash is a seafood marketing expert at North Carolina Sea Grant in Raleigh, who's studied how consumers and chefs react to little-known species.
"I think in the market we're seeing a desire for species that are not well known," and people do appreciate knowing that what they're eating isn't overfished, Nash said. Gut reactions matter too. Consumers perceive value based on the size of the seafood, its flavor, texture and appearance. Not only that, but "they're always going to compare it to something else," Nash said. "The question is, what is butterfish most closely aligned with in the market?"
Diners might compare it to white-meat fish like cod, grouper or flounder, for example, or to species such as tuna, salmon or mackerel. "And then of course, the big question after that to the restaurant chef is what's the availability and how much is it going to cost?" Nash added.
DiDomenico said Garden State commercial fishermen had high hopes for a big new Atlantic butterfish market, but so far "that really has not panned out." With so many seafood choices already on the table, U.S. consumers just aren't embracing the small fish that don't yield big fillets or steaks, so are more suited to cooking whole.
For Atlantic butterfish or other unknown species to find a permanent place on menus, Nash said they'll need a marketing campaign. Someone will have to familiarize chefs and the public with the real butterfish, and then figure out costs, availability, and who to sell it to.
DiDomenico doesn't think fishermen or chefs are ready to put a lot of time or money into Atlantic butterfish, though he noted there is a potential for change. A few decades ago few Americans ate squid, but now calamari is ubiquitous, and squid are a worldwide market.
Big fins to fill
In restaurants across the South, another abundant fish rose from obscurity. Danny Itzkovitz of Tamara's Cafe in Apalachicola is one of many chefs who recently started serving lionfish. That's a predatory invasive species with booming populations that can harm native fish and habitats, so much so that biologists and fishermen are trying to eat them into submission.
Itzkovitz has used lionfish for tacos, ceviche and fried-whole specials that look gorgeous on the plate because of the lionfish's large, fan-like fins.
"Everybody seems to be intrigued by it," he said of diners, and the flaky white meat tastes great. But lionfish are harvested by spear fishermen, limiting the potential catch. And Itzkovitz said he doesn't think the fish really helps his bottom line that much. "People come here for grouper and snapper and oysters and shrimp," he said, all the best-known local seafood.
DiDomenico said there's now a limited fresh market for Atlantic butterfish, mostly among ethnic groups who are used to eating whole fish, and he hopes they'll someday get interest from a larger domestic or foreign market.
"We have high quality fish," DiDomenico said, and an official yearly quota of 17,801 metric tons that could find a market in different ways.
Interested in trying butterfish for yourself? One legendary seafood dealer sells them by mail. Pittsburgh's Robert Wholey & Co., founded in 1912, call butterfish "one of the best-kept secrets in seafood," since they look great on the plate and taste even greater.

A couple of weeks ago, I took a poll. It confirmed what I think I already knew - people weren't big fans of the Friday Storytime cue. Not really a shock - participation was always low.
Last week, I used a Wildcard entry on Friday. But now I have the task before me of assigning a new ongoing category to Friday.
So today's Friday question is: What should the new Friday cue category be?
The best suggestion I've heard so far is to have Friday be an advice column. I'd pose question or situation, you would respond with advice.
If you'd rather leave suggestions anonymously for whatever reason, I've set up a Stixy board that will allow you to leave a post-it note for suggestions.
Please, however you do it, let me know what you think. I've got a week to figure it out before next Friday's cue is due for posting!
There may be a winner, there may be no winners. There may be a poll, there may be a dictatorship. There may be cake! I'll keep you posted.
"Dear Mrs. Smith, sorry for the delay in your mail delivery. I held it back because I was still reading your Victoria's Secret catalog, and of course the letter from your cousin. Dude, she's messed up."
I think the advice column is a great idea.
"Mr Jones, I have read your manuscript, and had my associate read it, and we feel that a 1946 page book on the growth of cobwebs currenly has no market."
We suggest that you do not try a rewrite, or throw it away, but place it in your writing area as a reminder to yourself that you have the ability to write on any subject.
Seems we have two viable options. And one who wants cake (which is ALWAYS an option). I think I'll leave this open until Monday for more input and then put up a poll until Thursday night.
How about "When I was (age) this happened."

If you have been experiencing varying degrees of temperature, too hot in summer and too cold in winter then Supalite offers the perfect solution.
Now you can benefit from your Conservatory all year round with the latest advance in Conservatory roof developments. Changes to National Building Regulations on 1st October 2010 paved the way for a solid roof to be used on new or existing Conservatories providing certain conditions were met. In fact over 95% of all Conservatories already meet with these conditions. That means that you can radically upgrade your existing Conservatory or purchase a new Conservatory that will be usable 365-days each year.
Supalite gives an incredible u-valve of 0.18W/n2K. This meets current England and Wales building regulations.
A choice of five tile colours and natural effect slate.
Tiles tried and tested for many years in USA, Canada and Australia, giving total peace of mind in extreme weather.
Tiles with a life expectancy of over 40 years.
Large roof vents available to allow maximum light.
Full range of colour matching facias, soffits and gutters to suit your choice of windows frames.
Choice of internal ceiling finishes (eg: plaster or tongue and grooved timber).
Easy to install on to existing conservatory framework.

Aniplex USA to Release Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Blu-Ray Disc Box Sets in November
posted on 2018-08-10 15:54 EDT by Alex Mateo
Also: complete The irregular at magic high school BD on October 16
Aniplex of America announced at its Otakon panel on Friday that it will rerelease the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood television anime in two Blu-ray Disc box sets on November 20, 2018. The first Blu-ray Disc box set will contain episodes 1-30, and the second box set will contain episodes 31-64. Each set will also include two original video anime ( OVA ) episodes.
The company also revealed during the panel that it will release the complete The irregular at magic high school anime series on a Blu-ray Disc box set on October 16.
Funimation released Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood on five DVD and Blu-ray releases from 2010 to 2011, and re-released it in a two-part collection on both DVD and Blu-ray in 2012. The company's rights to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood expired in March 2016.
Like the first 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime series before it, the 2009 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime is based on Hiromu Arakawa 's original manga, though the latter hews closer to the manga's story and ending.

I stumbled across this adorable inspirational site for moms, Lay Baby Lay last night. The editor/writer Joni has a wonderful eye for design and graphics. One of her latest posts featured this printable Hospital Checklist.
Just had a baby & wish I'd had that funky hospital checklist with me when I went in!

The latest US sanctions on Iran will only worsen safety and stability in the Middle East, so China should take active measures to ensure its economic interests and stability in this region, experts said.
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the US will impose major additional sanctions on Iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons and to "make Iran great again," CNN reported on Saturday.
"The sanctions imposed by the US will only provoke Iran and deteriorate the current situation amid the tensions between them. If there is a major conflict, it could greatly affect the Chinese economy and national interests in the Middle East," Wu Sike, China's former special envoy on Middle East affairs, told the Global Times on Sunday.
The Middle East is a very important region for the implementation of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as it geographically connects the East and West, and many Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, are BRI participants, Wu said.
According to The Economist magazine, about half of China's oil comes from Arab states and Iran. China pledged $23 billion in loans and aid to Arab states and signed another $28 billion dollars in investment and construction deals.
The announcement of new sanctions came shortly after President Trump on Friday called off retaliatory military strikes on Iran after Tehran downed a US military drone on Thursday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeated 15 consecutive times that Iran had fulfilled its obligations in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) which was signed in 2015.
However, the White House announced on April 21 that it would end oil purchase waivers by May 2 to Iran's five main customers, including China, cutting Iran's access to its main source of foreign currency revenue.
China's Foreign Ministry said Thursday that China hopes that all parties will respect the reasonable demands of the Iranian side and maintain the balance of rights and obligations under the JCPOA.
"China hopes that no country will seek to disrupt the situation in the Middle East. China will continue to strengthen its bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership with Iran and take active measures to maintain stability in this region," Cheng Tong, dean of School of Asian and African Studies, told the Global Times.
Wu Sike is a senior fellow of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China.

We have received many stories from the public about adverse drug reactons. We use the experiences people have linked to adverse drug reactions, or following surgery, in our efforts to improve patient safety.
We will never disclose names unles we have permission to do this and anonymise the information in our efforts to create awareness.
We do not pass on your personal details or emails to any other organisation.
We do not pester people who have kindly donated to support the charity, for more funds. We have never shared donors' names with any other organisation and never will.
APRIL believes privacy is very important and will never share your information, unless you have given permission. We do no marketing of any kind and will never share information for this purpose with any outside body.
We have sometimes put bereaved parents in touch with each other, with their specific agreement. Being in touch with others who have suffered in a similar way is of great comfort for some people.
All the data we have received in letters, emails and via the BBC Action help line when people have called us following relevant programmes is kept safe.
We have used some of the experiences told to us in an anonymised format, in order to convince the authorities to increase warnings on the patient information leaflets (PILs). We hav succeeded in doing this for Dianette and thank all those who trusted us with their often heartbreaking stories.
We do not keep a data base of people to contact and encourage those interested in our work to follow us on Twitter, Researchgate, Linkedin and via our blog and web site.

Saint John's Tower, also called the Pigeon Tower, is a tower in Castledermot, County Kildare, Ireland. A former bell tower, it is all that remains of a medieval leper hospital and is a National Monument.

Location
Saint John's Tower is located on the northern end of the Main Street, Castledermot.

History
The Priory and Hospital of St John the Baptist was founded by Walter de Riddlesford and his wife in 1210, just outside the Dublin gate of the walled town of Castledermot. It was occupied by the Crutched Friars (Fratres Cruciferi) until its dissolution in 1541.

On 6th July, Oliver and friends completed a relay channel swim raising money for Royal Papworth Hospital Charity, Freedom from Torture and Alexa Trust.
In 1981, Oliver, his brother and four friends alongside Oliver's father as team coach swam the channel. They completed the relay swim of 44km in 9 hours and 38 minutes. Now, 37 years later, Oliver and a group of friends decided to take up the same challenge.
I was 15 when I swam the channel in 1981 and will be 52 when we swim next year, so perhaps that 37 year gap is also some kind of record!
13 hours 39 minutes 38 seconds later, the team completed the relay channel swim. They have so far raised over £200 for Royal Papworth Hospital Charity.
Looking happy at 4:30am before the swim began. Oliver was the first in as he was the tallest.
From left to right: Darren, Hilary, Ele, Oliver, Sophie and Martin.
Both Ele and Martin had effectively learnt to swim in the last 2 years just for the relay!
