With his Swansea contract running out in June, Wilfried Bony could easily have stayed at the club, making an appearance here or there and cashing in his paycheque for the next six months.
However, that’s not who he is, and when the option to play regular football, albeit in Qatar, presented itself, he didn’t really think twice about it.
Swansea, despite fielding him seven times in the Championship, for which he repaid them with one goal, agreed to let him go, perhaps glad to get his salary off the wage bill for the next six months.
Either way, the Ivory Coast international is now at Al Arabi, and he’s pretty pleased about it, as he told Sport-Ivoire, where he explained what the transfer was.
He said: “It’s a loan and not a transfer. I needed somewhere to play games to forget my long time on the sidelines. The Qatar opportunity came along and I’m here to be happy again. It’s just a loan until the end of the season.”
As for how the transfer came about: “It was the easiest thing in the world to complete. The opportunity came and I took it, but I’m still a Swansea player since my contract runs out in June. After that, I’ll be a free agent.”
One thing Bony isn’t thinking about at the age of 30 is retiring, because he ‘still wants to play’.
His next game? February 14th, a year to the day since he underwent surgery to repair the cruciate ligaments in his knee.

I have been developing collage techniques over the summer. They have morphed into layers of strips of magazine pages/ words and images. I began working like this because I didn’t have any acrylic paint with me on holiday . I am enjoying the way the layers disrupt the surface and meaning of what you look at. I have been experimenting with adding texture with doodles, mono printing and book pages
Since returning from holiday – I have developed the technique further adding Strips at different angles and creating images that almost recreate my migraine aura – this last bit occoured accidentally
I have also tried working on a larger scale. I am pleased with the image below – it reminds me of my window onto the street – the Edwardian window frames – the railings and houses beyond all dissecting the view and the light – this is 2.5’x3.5′
I also tried an even bigger canvas 40″x50″ it’s funny this one was fine when it was lying flat – but I haven’t put the strips on straight and my varifocal lens seem to be playing tricks on me – I can’t look at the canvas with out getting irritated so I am storing it on its side. I have included some process photos below
I have brought the stripes into mixed media work too- here is a piece I just finished whilst working with Debbie Howard in Oxfordshire
That canvas looks great in landscape, it’s mesmerising. And you know I love those ladies. Have you looked at having them printed onto fabric? Oh & give me a shout if you run out of magazines, I’m a real hoarder and I’ve probably got a good stash you can have!!
I’m glad there’s someone else who doesn’t always get thing straight – been doing some very wonky circles drawing with paper on my knee. Lovely work

South32 Ltd. (S32.AU) overcame setbacks in Australia and South Africa to report a big jump in its cash pile in the latest quarter, but was silent on whether it will increase a planned capital return following the aborted purchase of a coal mine from Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU).
South32 said its net cash rose by US$645 million to US$1.5 billion at the end of March, despite an underground fire at its Cannington silver and base metals mine in Australia and heavy rainfall in South Africa where it is a major producer of thermal coal.
Last month the company said it planned to hand US$500 million to shareholders, most likely via a share buyback, in another sign the global mining industry is regaining its footing.
Analysts have speculated that South32, the company spun out of BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP.AU) in 2015, may top-up this capital-return program after the miner walked away from a US$200 million deal to buy Peabody Energy's (BTU) Metropolitan colliery in Australia's New South Wales state, together with a stake in a coal port, citing competition concerns.
On Thursday, South32 reported a mixed production performance in the three months through March. Metallurgical coal output rose by 3% to 1.4 million metric tons compared to the prior quarter, while manganese ore production also lifted 3% to 1.3 million tons.
However, energy coal production fell by 9% to 6.9 million tons due to bad weather in South Africa and an associated delay in the development of new mining areas at the Wolvekrans-Middelburg Complex.
Alumina and aluminum production each fell 2% on quarter to 1.3 million tons and 245,000 tons, respectively.

Three artefacts that have been kept in the Classics Museum at the Australian National University were stolen from Italy, including an item owned by the Vatican. Source: Canberra Times.
A 2500-year-old vase linked to a notorious looted antiquities dealer will be returned to Italian ownership under a repatriation agreement with the ANU.
But it, along with two other pieces under investigation, a fish plate and the marble head from the Vatican, will be able to stay on display under a loan agreement with Italy.
The university bought the two-handled vase in 1984 from Sotheby’s in London but the specialist art squad of Italy’s military police force, the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, recently linked the amphora to an infamous dealer active in the Italian illegal antiquities trade in the 1970s and 80s.
Curator of the ANU Classic Museum, Georgia Pike-Rowney, said the Carabinieri had been able to identify the vase using its vast database and an AI-driven Stolen Works of Art Detection System.
The university made its archives available to the Carabinieri as soon as the vase was brought to its attention, revealing a second problematic object, an Apulian red-figure fish plate dating back to the late 4th century BCE.
A third item, a marble portrait head owned by the Vatican, is the most confounding; the museum brought it to the Carabinieri’s attention during the investigations.
“The Vatican had a collection displayed in the Lateran Palace, which is owned by the Vatican, but it’s actually in the city of Rome. And that museum shut in 1970. We purchased ours in 1968,” she says.
“So how a piece from a Vatican collection on display in Rome made its way to an Australian university in 1968 via Sotheby’s in London I have no idea.”
The piece is now subject to a separate inquiry, but remains on display.

Loyalty is what is mostly explained to mean friendship, but loyalty is not friendship. Friendship is not loyalty. Loyalty is an end-product of a good and lasting friendship. Therefore, loyalty is to be earned. It comes with a very high price, a price most people cannot afford. And when it is given either earned or not, it remains a choice that has an end, as no one can truly control behaviours or the course of events.
If friendship is solely based on allegiance, adherence, obedience, devotion, faithfulness and fealty, then it will not stand for long, as human beings are built to backslide at any given time. Such a time a trusted person would have never thought will manifest. Also, why would a person demand loyalty from another, when he cannot ultimately trust himself. How can you know someone, when they do not truly know themselves.
If loyalty is what is largely asked in a relationship, then there will be opportunities for violence, humiliation, intimidation, manipulation and exploitation. Since it allows room for a type of friendship based on selfish principles, a basis mostly carved by one party to keep things confidential, secrets which may break the law, conflict personal interest or threaten others. This is what loyalty is perceived as, were obedience should spring forth. However, it is unjustifiable to ask another to sacrifice morally correct propositions in a bid to acquire notable relationships. When people demand that a friend position their interests over ethical thoughtfulness, such a request prohibits and undermines the respect meant for a mutual or passionate attachment.
Friendship is Respect. A friend has the right to be treated with dignity. A friend may not be held in high esteem, but it is an ethical duty to treat a bosom friend, a confidant with regard, in spite of who they are, what they have achieved and where they are from. Even when they are unpleasant, it is important to respond or react with respect, high opinion. On the basis of civility, courtesy, decency, dignity, reliant, tolerance and acceptance, friendship is expected to last for centuries. Conducts which has the ability to pass alliances down to generations.
How do you intend on demanding loyalty, if an individual lacks the very source of friendship. Friendship is respecting each other, treating the other with consideration, without resort to intimidation, coercion or violence except in extraordinary and limited situations to defend, discipline, maintain order or achieve social justice. Accepting and tolerating individual differences and beliefs without preconception is very important. However, one can judge or punish the other mostly on character, abilities and conduct. Although, such punishments should be moderate and only to advance a better relationship in communication, social goals and purposes.
Loyalty is yet another word used between friends, but friendship surpasses loyalty. As there are other moral principles such as Integrity and Reliability for oneself which constitutes friendship, but people tend to look at them as unnecessary and the lack of these elements are what cripples strong and special long-term friendships, be it reciprocal or romantic. How can a person seek genuine friendship garnished with loyalty, when he or she lacks Teamwork, Fairness, Honesty, Truthfulness, Candour, Trustworthiness, Sincerity and Genuineness. These are ethical fundamentals of friendship, which are extremely necessary in building passionate and mutual relationships. Hence, friendship should not to a great degree be based on loyalty.
On a similar note, loyalty should be a choice and not a must, since everyone of us is programmed to an asking price. Let me ask this, “To what extent can you be loyal, when there is an extent in which you cannot control yourself.” You can measure credence on a certain parameter of your life now, but what about when disturbing and adverse situations comes crawling in. How then, can you expect undiluted allegiance from someone else when you do not know the extent of your own capabilities. What then happens when an individual, a friend finds himself in situations were belief and assurance for oneself cannot subdue a current situation, in other to be loyal as always to another. Does this mean he or she is no longer a dependable or trustworthy friend?, because of one or two mistakes, after many longs years of sacrifices.
Friendship is not Loyalty. Loyalty is too tricky to be perceived as Friendship.

No. 7 Harrah's Chevrolet
* Lucky No. 7 goes to Las Vegas -- Robby Gordon Motorsports will bring chassis RGM003 and RGM004 to Las Vegas. RGM003 is the same chassis that was run at California. The team utilized Gordon's off-road shop (Robby Gordon Off-Road) to prepare the cars for Las Vegas after the California race
* Listen up... Got a scanner? Tune it to 469.4500 to hear Robby Gordon Motorsports team communications during the race
* Purple and Gold -- Harrah's will be the primary sponsor on the car. Jim Beam and Menards will continue as associate sponsors
* Practice makes perfect -- Gordon and his team tested Las Vegas in February in preparation for the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400
* Tune in -- The UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 can be seen live on FOX Sunday, March 13th at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) and can be heard live on MRN and XM Satellite Radio. Qualifying is set for Saturday March 11th at 6:10p.m. EST p.m. and will be broadcast live on FX and MRN and XM Satellite Radio
Harrah's Back on Track for Las Vegas
Harrah's will enjoy home-field advantage this weekend as Robby Gordon Motorsports heads to Las Vegas for the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway flying the familiar purple and yellow colors of Harrah's.
For a team that has experienced its share of misfortune in the early going of the 2005 season, the hope is that Vegas will indeed be lucky for the No. 7 Harrah's entry.
"We need a good run in Las Vegas, and despite the fact that we have had a few issues to start the season we should put together a good performance for the 3,000 or so guests that Harrah's will have in attendance," said Gordon. "We've got a full weekend planned with Harrah's guests and management, and this weekend is one of my personal favorites of the season. There is no city that we race in that I enjoy more than Las Vegas."
Gordon's personal best of 13th at the Las Vegas track came in 2000.
"Las Vegas is a handling race track," Gordon said. "We tried a lot of different things when we tested there in January, and we got the car to a point that it felt really good through the corners. We weren't the best car there during the test, but by the time we left I really believe we were as good as anyone in the turns, and better than most. If we're able to combine that with a good power down the front and back stretch, and also get good engine reliability, we'll be fine.
"It's no secret that we have had a few issues with engines, and while having an engine failure is frustrating, I'm confident we'll work things out. The main issue has been isolated and the engine department has already produced a package for Vegas that should do the trick."
Qualifying for the race is Friday at 3:10 p.m. (PST), and Gordon must be among the eight fastest cars attempting to qualify that were not among the top-35 in owner's points from the 2004 season. There are currently 49 cars entered, of which 14 will be competing for the eight available positions.
The 400-mile race is scheduled to begin Sunday at 12:10 p.m. (PST).
"Nobody ever said operating a race team was easy, and from the day we started this program more than a year-and-a-half ago we have worked a lot of long days and nights to overcome issues much more challenging than a couple of engine failures. The good news is that we had a lot of power at both California and Mexico City before we broke, and when we sort out a few things in this area we'll be just fine."

Retail Viewpoint – Dunelm
New chapter for homewares market leader
Ex CEO John Browett’s shortcomings stretched beyond being the wrong ‘fit’ with homewares retailer Dunelm; during his two-year tenure, the retailer suffered poor l-f-l growth and Dunelm’s share price fell nearly a third over the course of the year to date – more than any other significant home retailer.
However, Browett did have some successes; the FTSE 250 company acquired Worldstores – which led to online share growing to 20% versus 7% the year before – and increased its store estate.
The start of this financial year has, so far, been positive for Dunelm. But Browett’s departure could spike a period of volatility for the homewares market leader while the leadership gap is filled internally. This is dangerous ground, not only because market conditions are particularly tough, but also because discounters and fashion players are honing in, and will strike while the iron is hot.
The future strategy of Dunelm will now be up to Browett’s successor – will Dunelm continue to pursue young families through 50 trial Kiddicare shop-in-shops? This doesn’t seem an obvious fit for Dunelm, given the retailer has an older customer demographic and has, historically, concentrated on its breadth of ranges. What is certain is that, with the acquisition of Worldstores, online is still likely to be a key focus. We remain positive on the retailer’s outlook and forecast a 0.1% market share increase in 2017.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genome was modified through the addition of recombinant DNA. They are widely used in medicine and agriculture. In the late 1970s, the first licensed drug was made using recombinant DNA in Escherichia coli bacteria: human insulin. This revolutionized the treatment for diabetic patients. Since then, a number of transgenic organisms have been used for medical purposes. Human growth hormone, the hepatitis B vaccine, and HIV tests are also made using recombinant DNA. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved a human blood thinner made using transgenic goats. In addition, genetically modified and transgenic mice are commonly used in medical research. Individual genes can be removed ("knocked out") from the mouse genome to test that gene's function. In other cases, a human gene can be inserted into the mouse genome ("knocked in") for research on its effects.Genetically modified plants have been widely used in agriculture since the mid-1990s. Herbicide- and insect-resistant crops and crops designed to withstand harsh weather and long travel times to market are available. Although genetically modified plants are widespread in agriculture, no genetically modified animal meat has yet been successfully marketed. The development and use of genetically modified plants and animals has been hotly debated because of the fear of health risks and potential environmental impacts. GMOs are also controversial from a legal perspective because they are produced by humans. Natural resources cannot be patented, but because GMOs do not occur naturally, the United States Supreme Court ruled that they can be patented. One prominent chemical and agricultural company owns the patent for the most popular agricultural herbicide and for genetically modified corn seeds that are immune to the herbicide. This company sells farmers both the herbicide and the seeds. If the corn seeds are found growing in a neighboring field (as did occur in Canada in the late 1990s), the company can sue the farmer for growing a "stolen" crop. The farmer claimed the seeds must have mistakenly traveled there from neighboring trucks and fields. However, the company won the court case.
Another case of genetic ownership involves a company that isolates genes used to test for breast and ovarian cancer. The test was expensive for the company to develop, and thus it wants to protect its investment. The company currently owns the patent on the genes, so it is the only company that can sell the test. Critics argue that because this test is so important for saving lives, its production and sale should not be limited by a patent. Critics also blame the gene patent for the high price of the test. As a result of this case, there is currently a legal argument in general over whether isolated genes should be patentable.

Stonehaven’s Top Alternative Investment Trends For 2015
By David Frank | CEO & Managing Partner, Stonehaven, LLC
Stonehaven’s 14-year history we have witnessed and played a role in many shifting dynamics across the alternative investment industry. We are well-positioned in the marketplace to see trends with a 26 person platform representing over 20 asset managers to the global investment community. This year we decided to formally publish some of the topics we actively discuss amongst our team, managers, and investors to help stimulate further dialogue. We hope you find the below trends to be insightful, and we welcome your feedback.
1. Fund flows into alternative investments will continue at a strong pace.
While there might be one or more large allocators that exit the hedge fund space similar to CALPERS, the overall trend of large institutions increasing their allocation to alternative investments is likely to continue. Portfolio construction has historically relied on the twin pillars of equities and fixed income, one typically helping offset the other in different market environments with both providing returns above inflation over a longer time horizon. However, today’s fixed income markets provide extraordinarily little potential upside to help offset a theoretical sell-off in equities with US 10yr yields at 1.95%, British at 1.60%, German at 0.49%, Japanese at 0.26%, and Swiss at 0.18%. Institutions are likely to continue increasing investments in alternative investments that can provide more stable returns with low correlations as fixed income surrogates. Given this role, it is no surprise that return expectations have come down. Furthermore, the focus on stability has driven investors toward the largest managers with brand names. For many investors the focus on conservatism outweighs other factors. Alternative investments are also competing for the equity allocations of traditional portfolios as institutions accept that hedge funds aren’t an asset class but an organizational structure where a large portion of the asset management industry’s top talent resides. Increasingly institutions are removing alternatives as a bucket and considering how to use alternatives across all aspects of their portfolio construction. Niche/peripheral strategies are also likely to benefit from increasing fund flows as valuations in more mainstream asset classes encourage investors to explore further into areas such as private lending, physical asset trading, commodities, emerging markets, CTAs, etc.
2. Industrywide AUM will continue to consolidate amongst the largest players, increasing the prize for emerging managers to break into the top echelon while at the same time it becomes more difficult to achieve.
While emerging and mid-sized managers will likely provide the most compelling returns, the largest managers are most likely to continue attracting the most capital. The biggest fund flows are coming from the largest institutional investors who prefer to allocate to the most established managers. This is further propelling a winner-takes-all environment. This trend has forced many of the largest asset managers to focus on gobbling up talent to integrate them into platforms where they enjoy larger economies of scale. Many talented managers that would have preferred to be independent in past years are accepting the need to join larger platforms as a result of the increasing difficulty for emerging managers to raise capital, build an institutional infrastructure, and manage the complexity of global regulations. However, there is always churn in the industry with some top firms losing momentum and a select group of emerging managers breaking through to establish reputable brands able to attract sizable capital from large institutional capital sources.
3. An increasing number of small managers are likely to shut down while an increasing number of larger managers are likely to seek GP monetization events.
With approximately 15,000 global hedge funds in business today, the vast majority likely aren’t adding enough value for their investors to exist in the first place. Recent sub-par industrywide returns also reflect that the “average” alternatives manager is underperforming expectations. Most are also sub-scale to run an institutional infrastructure. Highly fragmented industries eventually consolidate as they mature, and the alternative investment space is no different. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we expect to see increasing monetization events for more mature managers including selling stakes to private equity firms and IPOs.
4. Managers focused on energy-related opportunities are likely to receive the most incremental focus among investors.
The impact of the implosion of energy prices can’t be overstated. Calling the bottom of the market and the potential pace of a recovery will dominate dialogues throughout the year. Beyond direct commodities and energy related businesses, asset classes indirectly impacted will also be a heavy area of focus including sovereign debt & currencies (both winners & losers), real estate within the US and internationally with significant energy exposure, high yield, and lending. Managers well-positioned will benefit from strong fund flows, and we expect a proliferation of new fund launches focused on the new opportunities.
5. The surging dollar, huge drop in oil, geopolitical instability, and increasing interest rates will likely increase market volatility, boosting the opportunity set of alternative investment managers.
It appears several market trends that have been in motion for multiple years are shifting rapidly as we enter 2015. Agile managers thrive in these markets. Strategies long volatility, such as CTAs and macro, are likely to attract proportionally more interest. Event driven and activist managers are also likely to increasingly focus on opportunities outside the U.S. as a result of a combination of strong fund flows into the strategies, the increased competition in the U.S., more distressed opportunities abroad, and less competition amongst managers outside the U.S.
6. There will be continued convergence between alternative and traditional asset managers.
More alternative managers will launch liquid alts or long only products, and traditional managers will launch more alternative products. Long/short equity managers are now competing head-to- head with long-only managers for the equity bucket of institutional investors, and the same is true for every other asset class. While there are definitely unique proficiencies to shorting, skills in security selection and portfolio construction are applicable to both alternative and traditional asset management. This trend places an increased importance on the business management skills of top executives in these organizations overseeing increasingly diverse product lines with more operational complexity.
7. Overall pressure will continue to be exerted on fees with legitimate reasons for some managers to provide discounts while others maintain pricing power.
Like anything else in a market-based economy, fees are a function of supply and demand. Negotiating fees used to be viewed as a sign of weakness, but now it is viewed as a smart business decision under the right circumstances. Founders’ share classes are increasingly mainstream for emerging managers with cut-offs based on duration since launch and/or AUM levels. Managers realize that AUM growth is a self-perpetuating cycle where it makes sense to make concessions to grow at an early stage for the right investors. Larger managers are also selectively providing fee concessions for substantial allocations and/or longer lock-ups. Despite the overall push for lower fees, managers with consistently strong alpha production, institutional infrastructure, and finite capacity will consistently maintain pricing power. Investors that pass on outstanding managers solely based on fees may be missing compelling opportunities.
8. The increasingly complex and challenging patchwork of global private placement regulations (i.e. AIFMD in Europe) will cause most US fund managers to focus the majority of their marketing efforts domestically.
Predominantly only larger managers are willing to make the investments needed to navigate the global patchwork of regulation, increasing barriers to access global investors. This trend could create an opportunity for large FOFs who are willing to invest the resources to act as a conduit for non-US fund flows into US managers. This same trend is impacting capital raising firms where only the largest groups are investing the resources to build global capabilities. The days of “parachuting” into foreign jurisdictions is coming to an end.
9. Asset managers will increasingly embrace exposure through media channels to enhance brands.
“No media” used to be the media strategy of most alternative investment managers. The environment has changed with many managers leveraging media actively to help build their brand and in some circumstances increase the impact of activist campaigns. LinkedIn has become the social media platform of choice to connect across the industry. While Twitter is being used primarily by manager to consume content, some managers are starting to post, particularly activists. Managers are also increasingly creating their own video content to help communicate with current and prospective LPs in engaging formats. PR agencies, video production firms, and technology firms analyzing social media data are likely to benefit alongside the managers utilizing media to enhance their brands.
10. The institutionalization of the hedge fund business will increase demand for institutional capital raising firms.
Raising capital has become increasingly difficult for emerging managers at the same time that break-even AUM levels for managers continues to increase. The decreasing percentage of capital managed by FOFs has also spread the sources of capital among a larger number of institutional investors. This means that the capital raising process requires relationships with a larger number institutions and the ability to address increasingly institutional demands. Managers increasingly want much more than just introductions to potential sources of capital. They want an end-to-end solution to the entire capital raising process. Beyond the day-to-day sales efforts, the services most needed are strategic market positioning, sales strategy management, sophisticated pipeline tracking, analysis of fund structure options, compliant delivery of content, roadshow logistics organization, etc. Capital raising firms that have the experience building many emerging managers into large institutions are able to act as a sounding board for managers to execute growth plans. Capital raising firms that can combine deep relationships, product know-how, technology, and project management to enhance their execution ability will outperform relationship-only providers and pure-play technology platforms attempting to match managers with investors. These institutional class capital raising organizations will play an increasing role in helping build momentum behind many of today’s leading asset management firms. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and count on surprises in 2015. We wish you a terrific year, and please reach out with any feedback.

ReviewThank goodness for extended warranties! At 35000, but over the 3 years, the rack and pinion was replaced. At 38000 the transmission was replaced. Air conditioner has been making a noise for the past 18 months, but not broken so not repairable under the warranty. Struts are shot even though driving only on good paved roads. Planning on selling as soon as possible.

Researching the effects of a hybrid bus fleet
While hybrid drivetrains have led to significant fuel economy gains for cars, it’s not necessarily the same equation for a city bus.
A typical bus gets only between four and six miles per gallon. About half of that fuel is never used to put the bus in motion.
Instead, that energy is gobbled up powering other equipment, namely systems to cool the engine and keep a window-lined interior the size of a small studio apartment at a comfortable temperature.
A year ago, two of the world’s most advanced “super hybrid” transit buses hit the road in the Twin Cities, and have beaten conventional buses on fuel economy by about 35 percent. But little is understood about how and where those benefits accrue. How much savings, for example, is due to the advanced engines versus battery-powered cooling fans?
The answers to such questions could help transit agencies identify the most cost-effective upgrades for their fleets.‘Where all the energy goes’
University of Minnesota engineering professor David Kittelson is hoping a two-year research project will yield new insights.

In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its International Classification of Diseases, the manual for classifying conditions, addictions and diagnosis (ICD).

Yet in the latest update ICD-11, the WHO recognizes online gaming […]

In a several month sting this spring dubbed “Operation Broken Heart”, more than 2,300 pedophiles were arrested after being targeted for online illegal activity.

Loving Our Children in a Pornified World
Encountering the Love of God in the Family
Praying in the Midst of Temptation
Ask our experts a question
How do I as a priest address porn from the pulpit? I don’t want to scandalize the young and innocent.
Addressing pornography, and all sexual sin, from the pulpit is definitely a daunting task. As priests, we stand in the tension between proclaiming the truth about the danger to souls posed by pornography and the fear of scandalizing those who are innocent. Sometimes we can even fail to teach the truth because we fear teaching people to sin. However, we also must acknowledge the fact that we live in a pornified culture, and our young people are often not as…

I am your customer and found that your service worked very well. I was able to get the correct part on a very old ( but working very well ) Parabody gym ( 425101). Despite having a small problem of the wrong part being sent the first time. Fitness Repair worked with me and we received the correct part that had broken. We realized the the part ordered in error would be the next part that would be breaking so we kept the
part that was first sent. Thanks for your patience and help. A wonderful organization.
Just wanted to say thank you - this part arrived and now my elliptical is back and working again! I appreciate the fast turnaround and your good selection of parts! Hopefully the unit will last for another few years!

I have been waiting until we had “grown into” Aurora to get her name on her. Don’t get me wrong, she was Aurora on the ship’s radio license last year. The Cape Cutter 19 is a pretty boat and gets a lot of attention and I wanted something individual for her. You can get some pretty funky vinyl lettering these days, but for me it had to be a paint job by hand. Living in the midlands, this is not a problem given he number of canal boats. Following a recommendation from a colleague at work with a canal boat, some serious and much discussion, Aurora now sports her name on both bows and transom. We’re very pleased. Sounds like an excuse for the bubbly stuff…
Well, it seems to have taken far longer than I hoped, but another set of mods are (more or less) complete on Aurora. I have modified the mast head and fitted an antenna for the fixed VHF as well as a combination white/tricolour mast head light. These are wired back to the new fascia panel and I have wired a two way switch to some coloured LEDs to show which light is being displayed.
The fitting took a long time because I modified the wooden past head with a chisel so that the light fitted into it, rather than ext to it, so it looks neat and tidy. I also took the opportunity to paint the white mast top.
At the other end of the mast, after a great deal of umming and erring, I decided to chop about 10mm off the bottom of the mast to ensure that the wires did not pinch. I tried making a groove first, but was not convinced that he wires would stay in the groove (and besides, my carpentry is not a pretty sight!), so ended up amputating the very bottom of the mast. I left the tails of the cables quite long so that if I forget to unplug, it won’t break the cables or sockets. I reluctantly took the cables through the coach roof on the starboard side and “hid” them with trunking on the cabin roof, before routing them through the cupboards. This was so that the cables were up high and I did not have to make holes in the locker in front of the mast because I have had water on the cabin floor and I did not want it being able to escape.
Overall, I’m pretty pleased by how it all looks. The compass lights up when the mast head light is turned on. The VHF seems to work (I was worried my connections would not be up to snuff). The fascia covers better wiring and now provides some storage.
The mast head with light attached with Sikaflex, awaiting varnish. Note the dowels to locate the wooden head onto the mast. Originally screwed on through the top, now sikaflexed into position.
The new fascia panel with battery monitor, GPS bracket (coiled cable is for Yeoman plotter), hinged fuse panel, 12v socket, mast head light switch and storage cubby hole. To be added: storage hooks. Panel from 12mm outdoor ply (too thick- should have used 8mm) and varnished with Ronseal.
the instruments lit up. Compass, GPS repeater, depth/log display and VHF.

Flushing was once an Italian and Greek neighborhood in Queens until Asian immigrants settled in the area beginning in the 1970s.
Today Flushing is home to a large Chinese followed by the Korean community. Other Asian communities in the neighborhood include Vietnamese, Indians, and Pakistanis.
There is also a significant population of Hispanics. With a large Asian population, the area of Flushing around Union Street, Main Street, and Roosevelt Avenue has flourished into the center of Asian life known as Chinatown.
Chinatown in Flushing neighborhood by Aimee castell Chinatown in Queens is the second-largest Chinese enclave in New York City, after Manhattan but larger than Chinatown in Brooklyn.
Like the rest of the Chinatowns in New York City, it has a very East Asian atmosphere and visitors may think they are along the streets of Hong Kong or somewhere in Beijing, Taipei, or Seoul. This Asian enclave is a lively and colorful area of Flushing and should be on the list of visits to New York City.
Asian-owned (mainly Chinese and Koreans) businesses occupy many of the premises in Chinatown. There are Asian supermarkets, grocery stores, bakeries, and shops in Chinatown.
This is the place to find herbs, ginseng, spicy kimchee, dried noodles, arts and crafts, music CDs, and movie DVDs sourced from various corners of East Asia.
Chinatown gets crowded during the weekends with shoppers shopping for Asian food items and families searching for a meal at the local restaurants and takeaways.
Chinese herbs in Chinatown by larry
You will never go hungry in this neighborhood of Flushing. When eating out in Flushing, Chinatown offers countless numbers of Chinese and Korean restaurants.
Popular eateries are the restaurants serving Dim Sum and cheap noodle dishes, but the area offers more than this. The Golden Shopping Mall is not really a shopping mall but comprises narrow corridors cramped by small eateries.
Location: Around Union Street, Main Street, and Roosevelt Avenue in the Flushing neighborhood. Near Main Street Subway Station.
