Few things are as cherished as a wedding gown. With the careful planning that goes into selecting the perfect gown, many brides choose to heirloom their dress as a keepsake. A properly preserved gown ensures the possibility of passing it down to a daughter or close family friend.
Our wedding gown specialists carefully examine every gown, establishing the most suitable method of cleaning. Inspections are made at every stage of the cleaning and preservation process. Each wedding gown receives special and individual handling, with attention given to every detail.
Don't delay. Finding the perfect dress can take some time, so give yourself no less than six months.
Look for and read care labels and ask questions about care and cleaning of your gown. Can you dry clean both the gown and the trim? What kind of material are the beads and pearls made from? How will dry cleaning affect them? Is there a safe way to spot-clean the gown? Be sure to make note of the answers so you can inform your dry cleaner.
Leave lots of time to clean and alter an heirloom gown. Bring your gown to a local Ontario Fabricare Association cleaner who specializes in wedding gowns and restorations.
Have shields sewn into your gown to protect underarms from staining.
Flowers with strong-coloured stamens can stain your dress. Ask your florist about your bouquet and, if possible, have them remove the flower stamens.
Ask one of your attendants carry a small towel to place over your shoulders when you touch up your make-up.
Drape the seat of the car or limousine with a clean white sheet, to avoid picking up any dirt that may be on the floor or seats.
Bring a large garment bag to place your gown in once you have changed into your going-away outfit.
While a gown may be worn one day and may not appear soiled, it will always require careful cleaning after the big day.
• Very likely, there will be food and beverage spills.
• Many stains may not immediately visible, but will develop with age through oxidation causing discolouration, fabric weakness and damage to the gown.
Always have your gown cleaned before storage.
Point out to your dry cleaner any areas that have been stained and make special note of stains that may not be easily seen by the naked eye, such as white wine or water.
Inspect all trim with your dry cleaner to ensure that it can withstand the dry cleaning process.
Inform your dry cleaner of any special care instructions you received at the time of your purchase.
Ask your Cotty's cleaning professional about preserving your gown in an acid-neutral storage box.
Basement dampness or attic heat could ruin your gown. Find a cool, dry location to store your dress.
Storing your gown on a hanger can cause damage to the shoulders, due to pressure from the weight of the skirt. Stitching simple straps to the waist of the gown will keep the shoulders from carrying the burden.
Store your accessories, including your veil or headpiece, in a separate location.
Remove buttons, sponge padding, perspiration shields and pins to ensure that fabric is not damaged.
If you store your gown on a hanger, cover it in either muslin or a white sheet.
To prevent the bodice from becoming wrinkled, gowns stored on hangers or in boxes should be stuffed with white tissue paper.

Where's My Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks Sequel?
by Brian Shea on Apr 19, 2021 at 02:43 PM
The Mortal Kombat franchise has a long, storied history in the fighting-game space (and for good reason). However, when it branches out to other genres, things tend to fall flat. Whether you're talking Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero or Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, the series' action-focused titles haven't exactly been – how should I put this? – good. However, in 2005, as the mainline series was ramping up for its big (at the time) finale in the form of Armageddon, a team led by series co-creator Ed Boon tried to do what no one had been able to at that point: Release a good Mortal Kombat action game.
The result was Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, a title that puts you in the shoes of either Liu Kang or Kung Lao as you battle through an action-packed story starring the wide range of recognizable characters from the fighting games. While you certainly wipe out your fair share of faceless and nameless minions along the way, you also encounter the adversaries you had come to know over the last decade-plus of fighting games. In addition to working alongside the likes of Raiden and Johnny Cage, players also engage in over-the-top showdowns with Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Goro, Shang Tsung, and Shao Kahn. While the standard trappings of the beat-'em-up genre persist throughout the game, each boss battle is distinct, certain rooms contain puzzle-like elements, and an ever-building Fatality meter helps the action title feel distinctly Mortal Kombat. Shaolin Monks wasn't the greatest game ever created, but it was a fun spin off and a unique way to experience the always-entertaining story of the franchise.
In the time since Shaolin Monks, the Mortal Kombat series has leaned even heavier into the narrative elements of the franchise; the climactic "conclusion" of Armageddon and the underwhelming crossover of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe set the stage for the series to go through a renaissance in 2011 with Mortal Kombat, a title that rebooted the series from both a narrative and gameplay perspective. Known as Mortal Kombat 9 to many, the game course corrected the series back to 2D fighting after a several 3D entries. The result was a resounding success and has spawned numerous sequels that have only upped the ante, including Mortal Kombat X, Mortal Kombat 11, and the expansion Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath. This new trilogy of Mortal Kombat games has possessed an unmistakable quality beyond anything the series has seen before, and I continue to play and love every single entry. However, I can't help but yearn for Ed Boon and the Mortal Kombat team to take another crack at the action genre.
While a sequel called Fire & Ice starring Scorpion and Sub-Zero was underway, the project was canceled in the early stages of development due to the studio not being able to do it in time or under budget. While the allure of ripping through levels as the two most well-known characters and their opposing suite of powers is undeniable and exciting, there are other directions a sequel could go; Mortal Kombat is full of rivalries, friendships, and enemies with complicated relationships.
Sonya taking on Sindel in Mortal Kombat 9
We've seen Jax step into the spotlight with the much-maligned Special Forces, but what about a modern take on Jax and Sonya hunting down Kano and the Black Dragons? As we've seen, their quest to track the gang is never straightforward and always leads the dynamic duo to intersections with other iconic Mortal Kombat mainstays. Jax and Sonya would also play very different from one another, with Jax serving as more of a tank, while Sonya would be faster and nimbler in her approach to fights.
What about a three-player co-op adventure starring Kitana, Mileena, and Jade? The three have a long history of working together for nefarious Outworld purposes before Kitana and Jade defected to the Earthrealm side of the fight. An action-driven story centered around further exploring the backstories and relationships of these fan-favorite ninjas could be an awesome time for players who want to dig deeper.
You could even go the Deadly Alliance route and put us in the shoes of two of Mortal Kombat's most evil sorcerers as Shang Tsung and Quan Chi team up to defeat Earthrealm once and for all. Out of all the other ideas pitched here, this one might be the most fun from a gameplay perspective, while also giving players the most opportunities for crossing over with the other major characters of the Mortal Kombat universe. Not only will several characters want to unite in stopping these two from methodically murdering the heroes of Earthrealm similar to what happened in Deadly Alliance and Deception, but the ambitions have far-reaching implications and consequences for fighters other than those fighting alongside Raiden. Marquee characters galore would litter the storyline, and with their combined powers, you could expect some truly exciting and over-the-top battles. Also, Shang Tsung's ability to capture the souls of characters he defeats would allow him to continually expand his moveset, making him a unique character to play over the course of the campaign.
Scorpion as he appears in Mortal Kombat 11
Of course, if all else fails, why not default back to the original idea? Scorpion and Sub-Zero continue to be the most recognizable characters in the Mortal Kombat franchise nearly 30 years later, and having an adventure starring the two mortal enemies could prove exciting. Imagine the co-op combos you could pull off with the fire and ice powers, and how the story would go knowing the tenuous truce that would exist between the two could (and probably would) fall apart at any minute.
While the Mortal Kombat fighting games have only gotten better in the time since Shaolin Monks, I'm ready to see what a rejuvenated approach the action genre could mean for the franchise. In the meantime, though, I guess it's back to begging Warner Bros. to make Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and Mortal Kombat 9 backwards compatible on modern systems.

Tuska 2015 – Suvilahti Helsinki Finland
August 20, 2015 August 20, 2015 Arto Lehtinen2015 / Concert Reviews / Heavy Metal
BY ARTO LEHTINEN AND MARKO SYRJALA
The Tuska Open Air Festival is definitely a real metal institution amongst all other metal festivals in Europe. This Suvilahti area located in the heart of Helsinki, is only a few kilometres away from the downtown of Helsinki, is a perfect place for the metallic onslaught during the weekend. As far as the line-up of 2015 is concerned, it offered a wide range of different sort of metal. Even a few hiphop vomits had been added to the line-up to draw other type of audience, which is truly odd. However Alice Cooper, Sabaton, In Flames as headliners and of course Amorphis did the whole TALES FROM THE THOUSAND LAKES album as well as Stratovarius doing all of VISIONS. All in all 25.000 people made a visit to Tuska during these three days. As usual Metal-Rules.com was present to check out a lot of bands and enjoy the burning sun.
FORESEEN
Foreseen has carved the reputation as an aggressive live band. The four piece crossover outfit raged extremely hard when supporting Madball some time ago. However the slot at Tuska wasn't that ideal and obviously the thrashers haven't found this savage live band yet, because the venue wasn't full at all. However during the 20 minute slot the band with the bald singer delivered the uncompromising crossover metal with real old school style.
Exodus has been on a long European tour, crisscrossing several countries. The gig at Tuska was the last one on the long run. As Gary Holt has been rather busy with his obligatory commitments with Slayer, the Heathen axeman had stepped in to take care of the guitars. Exodus sounded thrashingly brutal at Swedenrock and offered a real lesson in the thrash metal violence with the metal commader Steve Souza. Obviously the long run through several European fests may have squeezed the water out of the guys even though the band sounded tight and handled the gig in the professional way, but it was a bit sterile and plastic at Tuska. The set list had been shortened for a mere one hour sting unfortunately. They should have chosen a better slot for sure.
Blood In, Blood Out
Children of a Worthless God
Bonded by Blood
The Toxic Waltz
Strike of the Beast
Lamb Of God was supposed to enter the Tuska fest a few years back, but was cancelled due to all the hassles with Blythe's arrest in the Czech Republic. The band was definitely highly anticipated amongst the audience. Yes, the band pulled the massive crowd and all hell broke on loose, when the opening riff cut the air. The massive pits were rioting in the audience when LOG whipped up the crowd to go insane and loose their minds. The frontman Randy Blythe proved to be one hell of a raging frontman as raging and running like a maniac all around the stage. The set included a plenty of well known LOG tunes as well as the brand new songs from the new output STURM UND DRANG. LOG is a tremendously tight live band. Especially the current fill-in drummer Chris Adler is definitely the man behind the drumkit. Hopefully LOG will be seen in Finland soon again.
Ghost Walking
Walk with Me in Hell
Set to Fail
Still Echoes
Now You've Got Something to Die For
Sabaton enjoys massive success at the moment. The band draws a lot of people to the show and especially now when the stage got its prestigious setup when a tank-look-alike had been dragged to the stage. Didn't Kiss already have a tank on the stage back in the day? Basically it is fun to see how newer bands recycling the old ideas. The whole massive spectacle was started out by the intro being the legendary wellknown Europe's Final Countdown. It was rather odd as well as surprising to see how the kids born in the late 90's kept singing the old 80's hitsong. As for the gig, it was one big of comedy show thru the 90 minutes. The frontman Joakim seemed to have one kind of stand-up comedian talents to joke and act on the stage. It got a bit out of hand as Sabaton should let the music roll and reduce the amount of joking. Besides the joking, the pyros and bombs gave the bombastic fiery feeling to the warlike show. All in all Sabaton sounded tremendous great and delivered a brilliant show despite the joking. The Swedish warpowermetallers will return to Finland with Gamma Ray as a supporter…
The Final Countdown (Europe song)
The March to War
Ghost Division
Carolus Rex
Swedish Pagans
Resist and Bite
Soldier of 3 Armies
Gott mit uns (Swedish version)
White Death
Night Witches
Talvisota
Primo Victoria
Metal Crüe
Dead Soldier's Waltz
Masters of the World
When the Swedish retrodeathmetallers tapped Nick Holmes to growl on the newest output, the interest toward the band increased tremendously. Therefore the band has been crisscrossing the European festivals with the tight schedule. Bloodbath hit the main stage right in the afternoon. Obviously the timing wasn't that perfect after all as Nick Holmes announced Bloodbath will never play again… in the daylight. Well, at least the sun scorched the ground so did Bloodbath. The old school death metal sounded pritive and raw. If Bloodbath had been around about 25 years ago, would they have achieved the success or remained on the cult status. However the nostalgia in the old school death metal is high at the moment and especially having the known frontman as a singer definitely drew more attention. Bloodbath would definitely work in the underground death metal gig better than some open air festival under the burning sun.
OBVLISCARIS
Ne Obvliscaris hail from Australia. The Aussies self-financed their trip to European soil and it was a worth of every penny for these Australians Prog-whatever metal they want to claim to be. However the true prog heads were totally obsessed and possessed by Ne Obvliscaris' skills and extraordinary playing, at least judging by all the reactions in advance and especially after the gig. The band seems to have two different kind of singers, the first one was like some nice fellow looking like a dude dragged from some office, whereas another one presented more the evil screamo-emo approach. Obviously this sort of technical and skilled playing with the complex song structure appeals to Prog Metal fans, whereas for other metal fans it sounded pretty confusing.
Japanese hard rock legends Loudness played in Finland for the second year in a row. Last year, the band received a lot of positive feedback from their Jalometalli metal, gig and now was Tuska's turn witness the Thunder from the East. Loudness opened up with the bands biggest hit and best known song "Crazy Nights". Although most of the audience are friends of heavier stuff it seemed that the song was well known and widely accepted among people. Maybe "Crazy Nights" can be describes a timeless classic, at least in the Loudness repertoire. The set list included only nine tracks and the classic THUNDER IN THE EAST was present with 4 tracks. The rest set was also from the early 80's with the exception of "The Sun Will Rise Again" which is the title track of the band's latest studio-album (2014). Akira Takasaki proved his amazing guitarist skills but honestly it must be said say that Loudness is a bit obsolete band nowadays. Vocalist Minoru Niihara has never been the greatest vocalist on Earth and his singing sounds still barely English at times. The rhythm section of bassist Masayoshi Yamashita and drummer Masayuki Suzuki played tightly but so do countless other bands so that's not a big news here. This show was purely a nostalgia but there were also unintentional humor that was certainly not intentional. Maybe this band would work much better in different situation, such as intimate club gig where band could play a full 90-minute set, which would include material from the bands entire career.
Crazy Nights
Like Hell
We Could Be Together
The Sun Will Rise Again
S.D.I.
Amorphis had announced to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the legendary TALES FROM THE THOUSAND LAKES they would be playing the entire album and some other songs. The gig was kicked off by doing the opening song INTO THE HIDING. Each song from the album got played in the chronological order. The songs sounded bombastic and truly awesome. Most of songs have been played after the album came out or rarely since. The vocalist Tomi Joutsen hit each song perfectly with the true old school death metal style. Especially his death metal vocals fitted to the old Abhorrence tune "Vulgar Necrolatry". The next songs were the obvious choices such as My Kantele, Better Unborn. The Tales album is one of the most important metal albums in the Finnish metal genre.
When Immortal kind of got drifted into the personal crisis, the frontman of Immortal launched the solo band of his own with his very own name Abbath for obvious reasons. The debut gig of Abbath was carried out at the Tuska Open Air. That was kind of weird as that sort of debut gig could have been expect to happen in his domestic country Norway. Well whetever, the debut show of Abbath at Tuska was a cool event. Abbath kicked the set off by doing the songs of the I project such as Warrior, Battalions. Of course Fenrir Hunts as a new Abbath song was the part of the set. Of course a bunch of Immortal tunes were the essential such as One By One, Nebula Ravens Winter etc. Nice set, but the band could have done more rare jewels from the past, but on the other hand this was an open air festival with the limited playing time, therefore seeing Abbath in a club would be awesome.
In Flames is either liked or disliked nowadays. The older fans don't appreciate the current modern approach whereas the younger fans seem to be fanatical for the newer style of In Flames. Even though the band divides the opinions they however deliver a good and professional performance. Even though they looked to have more aged in a few years than Gene Simmons in the last two decades, the Swedes managed to pull thru the show. Obviously Anders Friden is used to seeing the crowd surfing, as demanding the crowd to do the surfing cos Friden wanted to smell the crowd. There were some crowd-surfers which the security tried to kick them out. In Flames did a solid professional performance by delivering the 21st century stuff as well as two songs off from Clayman. It is obvious the younger metal generation are obsessed by the newer material. Even though In Flames seems to focus on the modern approach, the five-piece is still a pure live band and in a great way for sure.
Warmen is a fun side project of the keyboard player of Children Of Bodom. However they featured Alex Laiho on the mic for the last two songs and the session COB guitarist in the rank as well. Obviously Warmen should be considered some sort of tongue-in-cheek thing because of Laiho's manners and all those guest showing up on the stage. The band was having fun and seemed to enjoy the time and joking to each other. Obviously it was time to take a bit relaxed mood for the COB camp to enjoy the flexible and not tight performance.
The Sirens is a project band thing featuring Liv Kristine, Anneke van Giersbergen and Kari Rueslåtten. All these ladies have gained the reputation of their own in various different bands in the past and present.The three female singers shared their duties and songs between them. However, each of these female singers definitely has the loyal fan base of their own with certain fave tunes. This more poppish sounding stuff was quite Listening to their singing was both utter pleasure and grim torture for ears.
Treat Me Like a Lady
Saturnine
Death Hymn
My Wilderness
Strange Machines
Sisters of the Earth
DR.LIVING DEATH
It wasn't that long time ago when the offspring of Suicidal Tendencies, Dr. Living Dead debuted at Tuska. The band hasn't changed any since them, and why would they as the current concept seems to be working more than well. Of course, the mask thing is weird, but the crossover thrash ruled by causing a nice reaction amongst the audience. The circle pit was burning the floor up.
Opeth is tremendously celebrated and popular and enjoys the fanatical following in both amongst the metal fans as well as the progressive rock fans. Even though Opeth is also a tremendously boring live act, but in a way or another they manage to create a touching feeling with the atmospheric hymns and sounds. The frontman Mikael Åkerbelt's singing has developed a lot and reaches the ethereal feeling with the catchy riffs blasting out of the speakers. Opeth is Opeth, there is no way the band would start venturing into some non-prog rock/metal direction.
Finnish power metal pioneers Stratovarius have encountered many difficulties but nevertheless managed to continue their career successfully. A good indication of this is the band's previous NEMESIS (2013), album, which is one of the best releases in band's career. This time the band had no new album to promote but instead they played the bands most important album VISIONS (1997) in it's entirely. In recent years, many bands have done the same. At least Dio, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Slayer and Accept have already done this in the past. But now it was Stratovarius's turn. "Forever Free" opened the gig somewhat surprisingly, when it is not the first song on VISIONS. The album's hit single "Kiss of Judas" was second and it was followed by "Legions". 10-song-long show ended with the band's biggest favorite, "Black Diamond," and then it was over. No encores and other songs. In fact, I'm not such a big fan of shows like this because on every album there are inevitably some filler songs and on the other hand so many great song remain missing. But don't get me wrong. There was actually nothing wrong with the show and I'm sure that most of the old school Stratovarius fans were pleased. The band sounded great, Timo Kotipelto performed impressively, and Jens Johansson was as crazy as always. But in spite of everything, this gig was nothing more but "quite nice".
The Kiss of Judas
Before the Winter
The Abyss of Your Eyes
Holy Light
Visions (Southern Cross)
The legendary king of shock rock doesn't need much introduction here. Alice Cooper's outstanding career has lasted almost 50 years already and there's no end in sight. A man's next album HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES, will be out in September and it is his 27th studio album. During the past year and a half, Cooper has been on tour as a special quest for Motley Crue's final tour. But he's been playing one off headline shows as well and Tuska show was one of those.
The band opened up with classic Judy Collins cover "Hello Hooray" followed by one of Cooper's late 80's hit "House of Fire". The band looked really great and there was a lot of action on stage which also looked good with all those little details including skulls, monsters and much more. Alice himself was wearing a cool looking black/red striped costume and the rest of the band looked like a bunch of guys from the 80's Mad Max movie with the exception of female guitarist Nita Strauss who looked just damn good on her tight leather suit. The set continued with old standards "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "Under My Wheels" followed by "I'll Bit Your Face Off" which was the only track from Cooper's previous WELCOME 2 MY NIGHTMARE album. The band played songs from four different decades. "Billion Dollar Babies", "Hey Stoopid", "Lost in the America" and "Dirty Diamonds" proved that Cooper has managed to provide high quality material during his entire career.
There is no Alice Cooper show without some stage gimmicks. During the "Welcome To my Nightmare" Cooper bring a giant constrictor on stage. This lucky snake is owned by "Finnish monster" and a huge Cooper fan Mr.Lordi. And of course the snake is called Alice. During "Feed My Frankestein" there was a huge "Frankestein" walking on stage. Of course Alice's head was cut off with a giant guillotine after he tried to kill a lunatic house nurse on stage. All the classic show elements were present and in fact it didn't matter that this everything happened in daylight. Musically the band was superb. Cooper himself was just as good as ever. It's just amazing how Cooper in his mid' 60's can still deliver such performance both vocally and performing wise. If you now compare him to almost any other artist at same age you will see the difference. Three guitarists on stage might sound useless idea but it works great as every one of them has a totally different role. Strauss is clearly the main shredder whereas Tommy Henrikssen plays mostly rhythm parts and Ryan Roxie does everything in between. Bassist Chuck "Helvis" Carrick is another strong character on stage and he does a lot of backing vocals. He and drummer Glen Sobel are solid rhythm section and they make a great justice for the songs from all eras of Cooper.
Like said earlier, the set list was a great mix songs from four decades of Alice Cooper's career. Among the classics my personal highlight was "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask). The song is from Cooper's mid' 80's comeback album CONSTRICTOR and it sounded just phenomenal. The only blemish I can complain a bit was the number of cover songs played in the end of set. Maybe just one cover or a medley could have worked better than four full songs although those all were immortal 70's classics. Beatles's "Revolution" sounded great but otherwise the cover set was a bit boring to be honest.
The trio of Alice Cooper's biggest hits closed down the show. "I'm Eighteen", "Poison" and finally "School's Out" featuring Michael Monroe were a perfect way to end this over 100 minute spectacle. All in all this show was a great and valuable end for this exquisite weekend.
House of Fire
I'll Bite Your Face Off
Hey Stoopid
Wicked Young Man
He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)
Break On Through (to the Other Side)
I'm Eighteen
All in all 25000 metalheads made a visit to the Tuska Open Air festival of 2015. Even though Tuska definitely divides people's opinions from one side to another side, but the fact is, Tuska will carry on. However, the organization has to find new ideas, but adding some weird reggae hiphop on the list was kind of weird. Metal bands can hardly be seen in hiphop festivals! Overall, it would be superb to have less jokes and worthless crap in the line-up instead more metal and above all serious ones. Tuska should seriously think of having more classic metal bands in the list beside the newer generation of the metal genre. See ya Tuska 2016 !!!

Demis Roussos cause of death not made public
Famous Greek singer Demis Roussos died in the morning of Sunday, January 25, while hospitalized at Ygeia Hospital in Athens, Greece.
The news of the singer's death was confirmed on January 26 by his friend and journalist, Nikos Aliagas, who tweeted the news in both Greek and French.
Demis Roussos' death was confirmed later the same day by his daughter, who spoke to Greek and French media.
Artemios "Demis" Ventouris Roussos was born June 15, 1946 and had international hit records as a solo performer in the 1970s after having been a member of Aphrodite's Child, a progressive rock group that also included Vangelis. He has sold over 60 million albums worldwide.
Demis Roussos was born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt, in a family where his father George (engineer Yorgos Roussos) was Greek and mother Nelly Mazloum was Egyptian of Italian origin. His parents lost their possessions during the Suez Crisis and consequently decided to move to Greece.
The hospital said Demis Roussos died following a lengthy hospitalization, but did not give an exact cause of death.
"He had a superb voice, he traveled in the world … he loved what he was doing," singer Nana Mouskouri told French radio RTL in a tribute.
"He was an artist, a friend. I hope he is in a better world."

Today we lost James. We are all in shock. Although we knew he had metastatic mast cell cancer, he had not shown any symptoms. James ran, played, went swimming, begged, and loved with his usual sweet manner.
On the way to a photo shoot for the Border Collie Rescue group I noticed a urine smell on the landing to our basement. It was curious as neither dog has ever done anything like that in the house. It was a portent of what was to follow.
At the photo shoot, both Dodger and James were having a ball tugging me left and right and putting up a fuss. I decided to take them back home. On the way back to the car, James collapsed on the road. I lifted him into the car and rushed him to the vet's. At the vet's he collapsed again. His body temperature was going down and his blood pressure was oscillating from normal to low. The vet gave him a battery of drugs and put him on an IV while I was off taking some lunch. When I returned, James howled for me. I went to him and started petting his head. He looked at me and slumped down. I knew immediately he was about to die and told the vet. The vet looked stunned, came over with his stethoscope, and said "His heartbeat is slowing." His breathing became quieter and quieter and then stopped . . .
I thank God for giving me 10 great years with this creature. We will miss him terribly.
Rest in Peace my gentle one.
My dear gentle James dog. Sweet, docile, but the most temperamental English Setter I have owned. When James gets angry, he will stand, growl, and walk away. "Why You !!!!" Cute !!!
My late wife Kathie's, cancer turned terminal in early 1990. One of her fondest wishes was to see Trevor, her champion, have offspring, and for us to get a Pup. We tried one breeding that didn't work. At that time, we had become friendly with Roanne Center, who had absolutely beautiful even tempered English Setters under the "Rogresta" kennel name. Roanne was looking to breed a liter with her gorgeous lady dog, Ch. Rogresta Lydia Dodge. I spoke with her about what it would mean to Kathie, and as she thought a lot of Trevor anyway, decided to breed Lydia to Trevor. It worked. In June, as Kathie's cancer was getting worse, 3 little boy pups were born. We picked one and called him "James." It meant a great deal to Kathie having the little guy during the last month's of her life. His joyful playful ways brought her a certain fulfillment in her life. I can never thank Roanne enough for giving us James.
This is a picture of young James holding his teddy bear on the deck of our house on Hurricane Hill in New Hampshire.
James had a wonderful show career. Here are show pictures when he went "Best of Breed" at two shows in Canada at the peak of his career. He is being handled by Nancy Clark.

No sign of it yet Rob, talk about a slow boat to from China.
I suppose it'll get here when it gets here.
I've been amusing myself repairing things here, my freeview satellite box locked up, checked it out, bad power supply caps.
then the freeview/ hard drive recorder locked up as well, reason, bad bloody caps again.
both working now,I feel quite chuffed about that.
Joined the club Today. Assembly was pretty straightforward. Only inconveniece was that all slide switches had most of the pins wonky.
I haven't calibrated it yet, just checked that it works, shows the signal and all slide switch positions are registered.
Yay Pekka, welcome to the nuthouse club.
Thanks. I was surpriced that it worked on first try. I was mentally prepared for troubleshootting.
I sill have to find instructions on how to calibrate it and then I'll feed in signl from the signal generator and see how the amplifier works. Time to refresh my memories from electronics.
Did you get the kit with the SMD components already fitted or not?
If not, did you have fun fitting them?
OK, I cheated and bought a pre built one.
This way it will at least work and not adorn the bench for 10 years before getting thrown in the bin.
Seen a box on thingiverse to stick it all in and I'll 3D print one this week.
Only problem I have at the moment is how do I use the thing ?
Bought it for looking at the opto output on an encoder to make sure I get nice square waves and to adjust Channel A and Channel B to be spaced by 90 or 180 or whatever.
This is on a home made disk encoder and not a sealed unit which will be accurate as sent from the factory.
I also have a 'proper' 'scope but it has that many knobs and bells on it that even ower dog can't understand it and he's got an IQ 6 up from mine.
Anyways, such a little detail never stopped me.
If I understand it right, you have a DIY quadrature encoder that has two channels with 90 degree phase difference and 50% duty cycle each. Normally these outputs are marked A and B. Both produce sguare wave.
Challenge is to adjust opto/HAL/whatever couplers mechanically to a correct position to produce 90 degree phase difference?
Here, for demostration purposes I adjusted signal generator to simulate those signals CH1/CH2, same wave form, same duty cycle, 90 degrees phase difference, the real scope on background shows this.
If you connect either encoder outputs (A/B) against the ground to this one channel scope you should get nearly identical signals. Both channels in isolation should produce "perfect" square wave. Only thing is, that probably mechanics is not accurate enough to produce nearly ideal 50% duty cycle i.e. ON and OFF state signals should be of same length, but probably are not. I does not matter in the end if you use only rising OR falling edges of the signal (i.e. twice the one cahnnel resolution, not 4x), but the signal "looks a little funky".
If you connect your single channel scope between hot wires of A and B channels, you'll get interesting signal, that should allow you to adjust (mechanically?) nice symmetry for the signals. This should look like the signal on this toyscope on front on my attached picture here.
When you connect the scope input between A and B signal wires, you'll get the product of these signals and the product should look symmetrical. Since you are adding two identical signals that have a 90 degree phase shift. A little "tweak" will show very nicely on the signal and since human eye detects change easily, that sort of signal will produce pretty good adjustment accuracy.
The signals could be added with a resistor network or such and utilize the the signal form factor, but then signals should be pretty stable to start with.
Was any of this anything you asked?
I find the old school analog scope easier to use. From the panel you see all adjustments on one go and nothing is hidden in the annals of menus....Of course DSO:s normally have the magical button that will find tha signal and display it....but then I'll spend some time trying to figure what settings are those numbers on the screen.
Hi Rob, did you ever get that airband receiver kit?
I finally received the psu for the frequency generator Wednesday. I waited and waited then got in touch with Banggood and they sent a replacement by airmail.
I assembled it this afternoon and it works a treat, now to build the freq gen kit.
Yes , the Air band receiver kit arrived a couple of weeks back .
What did you use to solder on the inductors and what's your plans for the signal generator ?
Those who have one of these wee DSO may be interested in this case .
(1)I assembled the whole thing with my soldering station using a 1.6 mm tip set at 350c.
seriously, I always thought it was very vulnerable as it is and I wondered why they didn't have a case.
it must be a new thing.
My theory is, if you don't have a plan then you can't moan when it doesn't work out.
I won't bother posting a pic of it working because it'll look just like Robs pic.
It'll all end in tears, I can see it coming.
PS, Rob hurry up and build your receiver so I can waste spend some more money.
I didn't even realise they were diodes until I read someone on the Banggood forum who put them in back asswards.
I thought they were resistors. It took a lot of looking to see the white line.
Blind as well as daft.
At least I read that BEFORE I fitted them.
Yes, Norwich International is about a mile away. the main runway is parallel to the back of our house.
luckily, although it's an international airport it's not that busy so it doesn't disturb us much.
the prevailing wind ensures that mostly they are landing when they pass us so it's not that noisy. what does drive us nuts are the damn helicopters, we've got police, air ambulance and one serving the oil rigs and they come in from any old direction.
the upside is, every time the Red Arrows do a show on the east coast they use Norwich as a staging airport and when they come in they fly across our house at low level before landing so we get a free show.
swings and roundabouts I suppose.

The House Of Mercy…..the story
'My husband and I live in a simple terraced house on a side street in North London, our house is called the House of Mercy……the story behind the name comes primarily from my husband's re-search into the origins of The Borderline music club, where he worked as promoter/booker for many years and was outbid a number of times by large corporates when he tried to buy the venue.
St Barnabas Chapel was built in 1862 on Rose Street ( now Manette St.) in London's Soho to compliment the women's hostel Barnabas House on Greek Street. Two more houses were then built one opposite the chapel and were used as an orphanage and school the other built just behind the chapel to cater as a refuge for the expanding prostitute population. It was this house that was named as The House of Mercy and after a chequered history and being bombed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt as EMI's publishing HQ and the restaurant and basement leased out and in 1986 became ' Break For The Border' Tex/Mex eatery and the basement becoming The Borderline music venue.
Had the venue been sold to my husband the restaurant above the venue would have been named The House of Mercy and a dinner show music venue created.
When he finally was ousted from the club and his Borderline radio show came to a close, the new radio show and record label was named the House of Mercy and our house became a haven to the many musicians who used to play at the club.
Recording radio sessions became a regular occurrence, the touring musicians enjoying the vibe of the house, guitars, dobro's and banjo's hanging off the walls, I was playing with all comers and the jams around the kitchen table became legendary, one such memorable night had British blues hero Ian Siegal playing with Tennessee banjo picker Don Wayne Reno of Hayseed Dixie and his brother Dale on mandolin. B J Cole is a regular visitor bringing his vintage dobro with him jamming with all comers, the House of Mercy rings out with roots music on a regular basis, we are also blessed with music loving neighbours, so our sessions can roll on into the night, the stew pot on the stove and bottles of wine passing around the table.'

What can You do to Strengthen Your Relationship With Your Roommate?
While each person's college experience is unique, many share common elements, such as: navigating difficult classes, dating, and living with roommates. The research of various FHSS professors speaks not only to the importance of building and maintain positive relationships with friends and roommates, but also provides ideas for how to do so.
Psychology professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad studies relationships and the effects they have on health. In a 2015 study, she found that loneliness is a precursor for early death. "The risk associated with social isolation and loneliness is comparable with well-established risk factors for mortality, including those identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (physical activity, obesity, substance abuse, responsible sexual behavior, mental health, injury and violence, environmental quality, immunization, and access to health care,)" she and her co-authors said. Loneliness can lead to death just as much as obesity and substance abuse can.
"Emerging adulthood is a unique time of life," the researchers said, "complete with its own set of challenges and struggles, and it is important for parents, teachers, employers, and others to learn about these issues." Understanding that your roommate may be experiencing these challenges can help you emphathize.
Following these tips will allow you to meaningfully communicate with your roommate, which will lead to a better relationship.
Check out our articles on what to do during Thanksgiving break and Summer (these still apply anytime of year) for fun ideas of what to do together.


Create this summer's NatWest T20 Blast soundtrack by voting for your favourite tune.
The England and Wales Cricket Board is asking cricket fans across the country to vote for their favourite songs in its search to create cricket's soundtrack to the summer.
Each of the 18 counties has put forward its most popular summer song to create a shortlist and fans now have the chance to vote for their ten favourite tunes that will go on to make up the NatWest T20 Blast Summer Anthems Playlist and be played at games throughout the season.
David Collier, ECB Chief Executive, said: "Our search for the NatWest T20 Blast Summer Anthems playlist was inspired by our desire to find a set of songs that encapsulates the summer for cricket fans.
"With 70 per cent of fixtures in the new season taking place on a Friday night, we wanted to find a playlist that would represent this and T20's brand of exciting cricket."
Fans can listen to the shortlist and cast their vote - before Tuesday 6th May - by clicking here.
The new NatWest T20 Blast competition kicks off on May 16 when Nottinghamshire take on Lancashire, a match you can watch on Sky Sports.
"NatWest T20 Blast will have something for everyone and the new season is set to offer cricket fans, groups of friends and families alike a unique experience, ensuring everyone can watch an exciting style of cricket with an electric atmosphere," said Collier.
WATCH: Fred and Tres bungee!

What are the 4 types of reasoning?
What is an example of a straw man argument?
Argument to moderation (Latin: argumentum ad temperantiam)—also known as false compromise, argument from middle ground, and the golden mean fallacy—is the fallacy that the truth is supposedly always a compromise between two opposing positions.
A formal fallacy, deductive fallacy, logical fallacy or non sequitur (Latin for "it does not follow") is a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument which renders the argument invalid. The flaw can neatly be expressed in standard system of logic.
In some cases, people might be wrong when calling out the use of logical fallacies. If you believe that this is the case, it can be beneficial to explain why the original argument wasn't fallacious, even if it being fallacious doesn't necessarily mean that its conclusion is wrong.
See also Formalism: philosophy of mathematics
Logical fallacies make an argument weak by using mistaken beliefs/ideas, invalid arguments, illogical arguments, and/or deceptiveness. If you are arguing, avoid fallacies of thought because they create weaknesses in an argument.
(also known as: appeal to moderation, middle ground, false compromise, gray fallacy, golden mean fallacy, fallacy of the mean, splitting the difference) Description: Asserting that given any two positions, there exists a compromise between them that must be correct. Logical Form: Person 1 says A.
Straw person is the misrepresentation of an opponent's position or a competitor's product to tout one's own argument or product as superior. This fallacy occurs when the weakest version of an argument is attacked while stronger ones are ignored.
When you're asked to identify a flaw, you're not adding any information but rather simply describing why the argument as it stands isn't logically strong. In other words, the argument is already unsound.
One widely accepted definition defines a fallacious argument as one that either is deductively invalid or is inductively very weak or contains an unjustified premise or that ignores relevant evidence that is available and that should be known by the arguer.
In this and the previous (mathematical) case, a logically valid argument is fallacious. So invalidity is not a necesssary condition for fallaciousness. In other words, not all fallacious arguments are invalid.
To counter the use of a logical fallacy, you should first identify the flaw in reasoning that it contains, and then point it out and explain why it's a problem, or provide a strong opposing argument that counters it implicitly.
See also Can anything be declared as fact?
Tip: One way to try to avoid begging the question is to write out your premises and conclusion in a short, outline-like form. See if you notice any gaps, any steps that are required to move from one premise to the next or from the premises to the conclusion. Write down the statements that would fill those gaps.
Deductive reasoning that is mathematically correct (logical) is valid. Deductive reasoning that is incorrect (logically faulty, illogical) is fallacious. Reasoning can be valid even if the assumptions on which it is based are false.
It is not inductive. Given the way the terms "deductive argument" and "inductive argument" are defined here, an argument is always one or the other and never both, but in deciding which one of the two it is, it is common to ask whether it meets both the deductive standards and inductive standards.
An argument is valid if the premises and conclusion are related to each other in the right way so that if the premises were true, then the conclusion would have to be true as well.
Inductive reasoning fallacy that occurs when situations or circumstances being compared are not similar enough. False cause. Causal reasoning fallacy that occurs when a speaker argues with insufficient evidence that one thing caused/causes another.
Four types of reasoning will be our focus here: deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, abductive reasoning and reasoning by analogy.
See also Can Zizek's big Other be seen as a collective form of "bad faith"?
For example, if someone says "I think that we should give better study guides to students", a person using a strawman might reply by saying "I think that your idea is bad, because we shouldn't just give out easy A's to everyone".

The Ocean's Bite
Connor Mac Craith stood at the bow of the Queen's Dream, the salty wind whipped his red-ish brown hair around his face. The sea was calm now, the crystal waves gently beat against the sides of the boat creating a swaying motion. It had taken Connor the better part of his first week on board to settle his stomach and acclimatize himself to the constant rocking. The soft orange glow of the sunrise was reflected in his warm blue eyes and played across the sharp angles of his face. Most of the crew were still below deck, giving Connor a rare moment of peace. Despite the beautiful morning, there was a knot of unease forming in the pit of his stomach.
"Look alive, lad." Someone's deep voice said behind him. A heavy hand thumped on his shoulder, nearly causing his knees to buckle. "How can I look alive when you're threatening to compress me into a puddle?" Connor snapped, mildly annoyed. Eirnìn O'Neil laughed heartily and released his grip. The man was comparable to a mountain, with most of his face hidden by tangles of brown hair. "Wouldn' bother doin' that, easier to jus' snap ya." He held up his clenched fists and made a snapping motion. Connor rolled his eyes and turned his attention back towards the rolling ocean. In the time since he'd looked away, the sky was beginning to turn a foreboding grey and the waves rose higher and higher. Connor felt his stomach sour. "Storm's brewin'," a third person had joined them at the bow.
The heavy limping steps told Connor who it was without him taking his eyes off the agitated waters. Captain Matthias' gnarled face looked as though it was carved by the sea's wind. A downpour of freezing rain came in sheets without warning, the sky completely covered with inky grey clouds. "Get up here ya freeloaders," Captain Matthias slammed his foot onto the deck repeatedly. "There's work to be done-" Connor, and everyone else, didn't hear the rest of his sentence. There was bright flash of lightning, followed by a thunderclap that shook the sea. The crew came flooding onto the deck, rushing to follow the captain's orders. Connor and Eirnìn scrambled to help. The ship suddenly lurched out from under Connor's feet and he slipped on the slick deck. He hit the deck hard, his vision was dotted with colored spots. A wave crashed over the starboard side, sending salty water rushing across the deck.
Connor found himself being swept along with the wave and he stopped when his back slammed into the sail beam. His eyes stung from the salt and he had inhaled a few mouthfuls of water. Rough hands gripped the back of his shirt, pulling him up to his feet. Eirnìn seemed to have stayed upright through the ordeal. Connor's heart pounded as he looked over the churning ocean. A dark mass rose above the waves. For a second, Connor thought of land. That was until the dark shape began to move towards the boat, independent of the waves. The massive body cut through the water at an impossible speed and seemed to create waves of its own. Connor's body was locked with terror.
He finally collected some of his wits and took several steps away from the starboard side. "S…Sea serpent!" Connor screamed, finding his tongue just as a triangular head burst up from the sea. The serpent's roar could be heard through the din of the storm. The creature fangs were the size of a man, with scales the color of inky brine. It turned its serpentine gaze towards Connor and he felt his stomach drop. He stood there, hypnotized by its four electric blue eyes. It was a though time was at a standstill. Connor perceived nothing of the chaos around him, it wasn't quite terror but something else. An older, more powerful, influence had taken over him.
"Man, the cannons. Fire at the demon's head!" Captain Matthias' words woke Connor from his daze. Most of the crew were struggling to keep on their feet and in no state to follow orders. Eirnìn was nowhere to be seen. As Connor made towards the cannons, the serpent suddenly slammed its body onto the deck. Connor threw himself backwards and narrowly missed being crushed. The wooden planks had no hope of supporting its weight and the Queen's Dream shuddered. With an echoing crack, the serpent's body caused her to collapse, dividing the boat in two. Men screamed as they slid into the freezing waves. Connor struggled to find purchase as his half started to tip and he went sliding towards the ocean.
A large hand caught his arm, the sudden jerk nearly caused his shoulder to be dislocated. Eirnìn gripped a rope from the sails and Connor's wrist. "Grab the nettin'." He swung Connor upward, allowing him to grab the nearby climbing net. The two worked their way up the netting, Connor's frozen fingers made the ordeal painful. "Now what?" Connor shouted, as they reached the top. Eirnìn pointed towards a lone lifeboat. "Think we can swim that far?"
"Think there's a choice?' Conner glanced back at the serpent, blinking rain out of his eyes. The beast was tearing the other side to splinters, their half was sinking fast. He knew it was their only hope. Maybe the serpent wouldn't spot their minuscule boat. Maybe. Connor nodded and gathered his courage. He launched himself forward and hit the water hard. The frigid waves stole his breath.
Conner struggled to fight towards the lifeboat, his arms numb already. He saw the dark outline of what he hoped was Eirnìn passing him. Rising with a wave, he caught sight of the boat. Connor held his breath as the wave forced him under, spinning in its turbulence. Connor vaguely wondered what the sea serpent was doing. Miraculously, he found himself within reaching distance of the boat. His limbs were aching and he wasn't sure he could pull himself up. Eirnìn reached down and hauled him up into the safety of the boat. Connor, on his hands and knees, struggled to cough up the salty water he had swallowed. Terrified of what he might see, he glanced behind him. The serpent's gaze was on them. Its luminescent eyes watched as Eirnìn rowed the minuscule boat away, oblivious to the carnage around it.

A Football League First Division volt az angol labdarúgás legmagasabb osztálya 1892 és 1992 között. Utódja a Premier League, aminek létrehozása után a First Division a másodosztály lett, míg 2004-ben nevét Championshipre változtatták.

Története

A The Football League-et 1888-ban alapította az Aston Villa FC elnöke, William McGregor. Ekkor a szervezet még csak egy osztályból állt, melynek 12 csapat képezte részét. Ezek az Accrington, az Aston Villa, a Blackburn, a Bolton, a Burnley, a Derby, az Everton a Notts County, a Preston, a Stoke (ma Stoke City FC, a West Bromwich és a Wolverhampton voltak. Amikor a bajnokság 1892-ben egyesült a Football Alliance nevű szervezet bajnokságával, a bajnokság már 2 osztályra oszlott: a Football Alliance két legjobb csapata került a Football League-be, a beolvadó szervezet bajnoksága pedig a másodosztály lett (Football League Second Division).

A következő 100 évben a Football League First Division volt az angol labdarúgás legmagasabb osztálya. 1992-ben a liga 22 csapata új bajnokságot alapított, és megszületett a Premier League. A Football League ekkor éppen újraszerveződött, a First Division pedig, ugyanazzal a névvel, mint korábban első osztályú státusza idején, a másodosztály lett. A First Division a 2004–2005-ös szezon előtt szűnt meg véglegesen, ekkor a bajnokság a jelenleg is futó Football League Championship.

A bajnokságban csak egy szezont eltöltő csapatok

Első osztályú mivoltában a következő csapatok töltöttek el csak egy szezont a bajnokságban: Carlisle United, Darwen, Glossop North End Leyton Orient, Northampton Town,

A bajnokság mérete

A bajnokságban eredetileg 12 csapat vett részt, ez később többször változott. Az első osztályban maximális részt vevő csapatok száma 22 volt, majd 1992 és 2004 között másodosztályként 24.

Bajnokcsapatok

A Football League First Division legelső bajnokságát a Sunderland AFC nyerte. A legsikeresebb csapat a Liverpool FC volt, amely mind a 18 bajnoki címét ekkor szerezte, ugyanis az 1989-90-es szezon óta nem sikerült az első helyen végezniük.

About Back/Forward Button Of Browser Working
Submitted by galsang on August 27, 2014 - 11:17pm
I'm doing a project with readium and I have a problem with it.
when using navigation buttons(prev/next) provided by readium works well.
but when using buttons provided by browser, they don't.
they are possible to use because actions of navigation in readium(exactly, modifying src of iframes to show contents) make history of browser despite url of browser doesn't change.
thus, i want to prevent actions of navigation in readium from making history of browser.
or, i want to make that users can't use navigation browser supports.
there's a idea? (and i think it's a bug to be fixed.)
actually, i'm not good at English and hope you can understand it well,
Basically, you can't disable the back button. It is possible to sort of sneak around this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19926641/how-to-disable-back-button-i...
But it's not a good solution and really should be avoided. It's a characteristic of browser-based apps that the user can mess up if they start hitting the back button. The solution is relatively simple: don't do that! :-)
So it's not a bug and we won't change it.
The alternative is to built a true app using the Readium SDK.


You have a great business idea and you are planning to start a business? Before you do anything, answer these questions and ensure you have what it takes to make it a pure success!
Do I have what it takes to run a business? Running your own company can mean unpredictable and long days with little pause for relaxation until you start to make a profit. You need to keep in mind that the road towards success is not easy and it may take years to achieve your goals. You need to ask yourself – do I have what it takes to run a business and be an entrepreneur? In order to determine whether or not you are suitable for the job, you will need to be prepared to make sacrifices, passionate, persistent, good at managing risk, and open to learning new skills.
Will I solve a problem or meet a specific need? Before you start your own business, you need to determine whether or not your idea going to solve a specific problem or fill a need. If the answer is no, you need to come up with a different idea and start all over. If the answer is yes, identify the problem or need. You need to offer people a solution to a certain problem and tailor to their needs.
Will people purchase my products or services? If you want to make sure people will purchase your products or services you need to offer them a unique product. You need to determine your target audience and create a customer profile – a profile of people you most want to sell your products to. Also, you need realistic calculations of future costs and income to work out when you will start generating profit.
These 3 questions will help you identify how good is your business idea. If you think you have a potential business idea, go on and start a business. There is nothing better than accomplishing your own dreams and fighting for your own success! Good luck!
