Between now and Opening Day, HBT will take a look at each of the 30 teams, asking the key questions, the not-so-key questions, and generally breaking down their chances for the 2011 season. Next up: The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The Big Question: Did anybody have a worse offseason than the Los Angeles Angels?
These previews are supposed to be forward-looking, but with the Angels, it’s hard not to look back at the winter. Indeed, Arte Moreno all but demanded that we focus on the offseason when he said several months ago that the Angels were going to make a big splash in the free agent market. Well, they didn’t. Thought to be the favorites to land Adrian Beltre or Carl Crawford, they landed neither. After they signed elsewhere, it was revealed that the Angels’ bidding on them wasn’t as competitive as one would have hoped. It’s hard to conclude anything other than Moreno misread the free agent market, and the result of it is a lot of grumpy Angels fans.
Not that the Angels did nothing. They gave up a great-hitting catcher in Mike Napoli and a useful outfielder in Juan Rivera to land Vernon Wells and his massive contract (and then saw the catcher get shuttled to division rival Texas). They signed excellent setup man Scott Downs, only to see him break his toe while horsing around with his kid, which could cost him a month of the season. They also signed Hisanori Takahashi. In addition to Napoli and Rivera, out the door went Hideki Matsui.
From a baseball perspective, the additions of Wells, Downs (once healthy) and Takahashi are positives. Wells provides Mike Scioscia with a good bat and good defense, allowing Bobby Abreu to slide over to the DH slot. With Torii Hunter and Peter Bourjos, Wells should help give Anaheim one of the best defensive outfields in baseball. Given Scott Kazmir’s struggles, Takahashi — who did a little bit of everything for the Mets last year — could help solidify the rotation but, at the very least, provides a lefty-killing presence in the pen.
But at best these moves (when combined with some of the other things discussed below) merely help the Angels tread water. They were an 80-82 team last and they needed to get better in a number of ways to catch up to Texas and Oakland. They didn’t do it. Adding an impact bat without giving up useful players was what needed to happen, and it didn’t. Maybe that doesn’t add up to the worst offseason, but given the expectations of the fan base, it’s pretty darn disappointing.
So what else is going on?
- While the lineup wasn’t bolstered in the offseason, the rotation remains pretty good. At least the top of it. Jered Weaver, Dan Haren and Joel Piniero (assuming he’s healthy) provide a nice 1-2-3. The bottom is far more shaky. Ervin Santana has lately alternated adequate and poor years. There’s no legitimate reason for this and it’s probably just random, but if you do believe that cosmic forces are at work you’ll note that it’s an odd numbered year, and if form holds he’ll stink. Scott Kazmir looks to be a disaster area in the fifth spot. If I’m Mike Scioscia I consider just plugging Takahashi in there and calling the Kazmir experiment a failure.
- Kendrys Morales is starting the year on the DL as his left leg continues to cause him problems. And even when he comes back he’s going to be rusty and slow because he didn’t play any defense all spring and his leg problems have screwed up his conditioning regimen. That’s no good, but the silver lining to all of this is that it seems to have opened up a spot for Mark Trumbo who hit the tar out of the ball at Salt Lake City last year, hit the tar out of the ball down in Venezuela over the winter and has continued to hit the tar out of the ball this year during spring training.
- That Wells/Hunter/Bourjos outfield may not hold up all year. Not because of their health, but because Bourjos may simply not hit well enough to justify his spot in the lineup. He turned heads with the glove last year, but didn’t hit a lick. And, given that he spent a lot of time in extremely hitter-friendly leagues while in the minors, he has never impressed. Mike Scioscia’s love of defense may truly be tested if Bourjos can’t figure out what he’s doing at the plate.
- There were a couple of interesting positional battles for the Angels. At third base, Brandon Wood entered the spring with what figured to be his last shot at snagging a full-time gig. Despite steady improvement as spring progressed, he appears to be the odd man out at third (in favor of Maicer Izturis) and first base, where Trumbo is the much better bet to replace Morales. Out of options, Wood will likely hit the waiver wire, and he still has enough residual promise, I presume, that a rebuilding team will take a chance on him. Another battle was at catcher, where Jeff Mathis, Bobby Wilson and Hank Conger all got looks. Mathis — who couldn’t hit a baseball on the hittingest day of his life if he had an electrified hitting machine — will get the nod. This is Mike Scioscia’s team, so is that any surprise?
So how are they going to do?
Eh. They were roughly a .500 team last year. I’m struggling to see how they’re substantially better this year. And with the additional salary obligation to Vernon Wells, combined with what appeared to be Arte Moreno’s unwillingness to pay top dollar for top talent all winter, It’s hard to see how the Angels will have the will or ability to make significant in-season changes on the fly if they find themselves far behind Texas and Oakland.
The only saving grace for Anaheim is that both Oakland and Texas have durability questions at key positions. If guys like Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz, Brett Anderson and Andrew Bailey have things go sideways for them, sure, the Angels have enough solid players and a good enough rotation where they could contend in a weakened field. But if all things are equal — and when we make predictions we have to assume all things are equal — it’s hard to see Mike Scioscia’s squad doing any better than third place.

Yogi Sri Soli Tavaria - An Introduction
The later half of the twentieth century has seen an explosion of science which has woven itself into the fabric of our daily life. For many thousand of years India has been a reservoir of deep spiritual knowledge and teaching. This knowledge has been shared with millions of students who have come to her shores to learn. The basic spiritual truth never changes. But the form given to knowledge and teaching has to change with the time. In our scientific age this form has to be a scientific one together with a scientific approach and method. This would mean reinterpreting the old spiritual texts in the light of modern science.
Sri Tavariaji was a spiritual scientist. In ancient days such a person would have been called a “Maharshi”. He designed simple technique and practical methods which have profound effect on the body, the brain and the emotional structure. These simple breathing exercises work directly on all the systems within our bodybrain structure to bring about total health which would mean a balance between the physical, emotional and mental aspects of the human being. They also have deeper effects on the unseen Yogic anatomy of man, thus leading one to the path of inner evolution. The result is a new person who by breathing a rhythmic breath has brought peace in his relationship to his body and mind, which in turn leads to harmony in his relationship with his fellow human beings and the cosmos at large.Sri Tavariaji met his master, Sri Ram, when he was only seven years old. Over a period of 12 years, he learnt the practices of a very secret Yoga System from his teacher. He said that this system was passed from master to disciples in the Guru-Shisya parampara, originating from Maharshi Patanjali who is credited with the authorship of the Yoga-Sutras.
Sri Tavariaji condensed the system into a few simple exercises together with the Three Step Rhythmic Breath, so that the benefits of such a rich system of Yoga could be easily available to everyone. His teacher advised him to be a householder, so he lived as a family man throughout and is survived by his wife and two children. He said that the real test of Yoga is in a normal family life.
Sri Tavariaji had two engineering degrees and two degrees of Master of Arts.
He had a tremendous control over his body-brain system brought about by Yoga practices. Even though he ate only three meals a week, he was able to lead a normal and very active life.
Sri Tavariaji has written two valuable books:
1) Yoga Sutra - Explanation and Exposition
2) The Purpose of Birth and Death
Moreover, he has left a tremendous amount of notes. He left his physical body at the age of 76.
Sri Tavariaji's simplicity was a kind of living poetry: the way he went about his normal day-to-day acts of life had the beauty, purpose and creativity of a painter spraying his canvas with innumerable colours.
That he was a teacher of the deepest Yogic sciences was hidden in his simple approach to life. And the teaching is so simple, but so complete and scientific. It weaves its way into our daily normal life without upsetting it in the least. And as we continue the practices and the rhythmic breath (as shown in the book) diligently, one day, the transformation happens.
Sri Tavariaji said that every student has his real guide or teacher in himself. If you follow the practices with intensity and regularity as Sri Tavariaji would say, ''as if white hot heat", then one day this inner teacher will reveal himself and guide the student to the very heart of Yoga. It is with this purpose, that a few excerpts of Sri Tavariaji's teachings are given here for interested students. I hope that it will give the student a basic outline and a glimpse of Sri Tavariaji's deeply revealing Yogic science.

Prior work suggests that recent graduates from teacher education programs feel better prepared to teach and are more instructionally effective when they learned to teach with more instructionally effective cooperating teachers. However, we do not know if these relationships are causal. Even if they are, we do not know if it is possible to recruit cooperating teachers who are, on average, significantly more effective than those currently serving. This paper describes an innovative strategy to use historical administrative on teachers to recommend the most instructionally effective and experienced teachers in various districts and subject areas to serve as cooperating teachers. In collaboration with a large teacher education program, partnering districts were randomized to receive either recommendation lists or use business-as-usual approaches. Those districts that received recommendations recruited significantly and meaningfully more effective and experienced cooperating teachers. Additionally, preservice student teachers who learned to teach in these same districts felt significantly better prepared to teach. This study offers an innovative and low-cost strategy for recruiting effective and experienced cooperating teachers and presents some of the first evidence that learning to teach with instructionally effective cooperating teachers has a causal impact on feelings of preparedness to teach.

Many perceive increasing privacy concerns as a threat to the growth of online advertising, as it becomes easier for customers to opt-out of behavioral advertising. Behavioral targeting is only as effective as its reach – a factor now determined by how many visitors actively allow you to communicate to them. Customers should feel like they’re getting something out it! Behavioral targeting initiatives should be created as mutually beneficial interactions which offer and clearly communicate tangible benefits to customers.
Managing this perception is imperative to a successful behavioral targeting program. Companies such as NetFlix and Amazon.com have done a good job at communicating the benefits of opt-in behavioral tracking such that consumers perceive the initiative not as intrusive, but rather, as a means to an enhanced, more customized user experience. To create this perception, Anil Batra’s blog gives 5 steps to ease customers’ behavioral targeting woes.
A key component: instilling trust in the consumer. That all information be opt-in is baseline in any behavioral targeting initiative, and having this feature be communicated to your audience is necessary but not sufficient in legitimizing your “intrusion”. Trust in this context goes beyond a consumer knowing you are using solely information they willingly supplied, it extends to how they believe this data is being used. Corporate cynicism and “what’s in it for me?” go together on this one, and you can address their potential distrust by providing them a compelling reason why they benefit from passively giving you some cookies.
The technical side of behavioral targeting should also be explained to increase customer goodwill. Active Response CEO Brad Powers relates in his interview that in his experience “online marketers try very hard not to be intrusive. […] Marketers have data strung together at best from anonymous cookies.” Personal information is actually much more abundant offline, where databases carry extensive non-encoded data which includes everything from your phone number to your signature.
The solution: your behavioral targeting program should offer benefits to your customers and these benefits should be clearly communicated in such a way that instills a feeling of trust. Also, educating your visitors on behavioral targeting technology in general is key such that the growth of Internet advertising isn’t hampered by the privacy hype.

Seeing Lisa Tangs like this, Marven Su suppressed his smile and said coldly, “Miss Tang, do you prefer that I use the stick instead of the carrot?”
“What is the carrot and what’s the stick?”
“I don’t need you to help me in this way. I don’t want you to give it to me even if it was on a silver platter.” Lisa Tang sneered and stood up directly from the deck. “I can’t bear the love of Young Master Su. If you have need, turn left after you exit the bar and there is a place called royal garden. The pretty sisters inside it must be able to satisfy you.”
Marven Su was irritated by Lisa Tang’s mockery. What kind of tone did she use? Does she think he was a male dog in estrus anytime, anywhere?
Lisa Tang sneered and left the deck. When she went out, her figure was long and thin. Marven Su stared at her back. For a long time, he slowly revealed a beast-like expression.
Lisa Tang fell asleep an hour after returning home. The next day Jiang Qi made a call and directly called her to the Ye Group. When she arrived at the door, Jiang Qi was already waiting for her wearing a vividly red lipstick. “I know that you were blocked by Elbert Bo recently, so I begged Mr. Daniel for a long time. And he agreed that you come over to join our marketing plan. What do you say?”
Lisa Tang stared at the faint hickey on her friend neck and had an inkling of how she begged Daniel Ye. “I may not familiar with market planning. I just do design.”
“Oh, design requires brains. Marketing also requires packaging and promotion, so design is also part of it.” Jiang Qi dragged her to the personnel department. “I told you that no one in the city dares to move against Elbert Bo, but here, I can protect you.”
She smiled and blinked, “Elbert Bo and Daniel Ye still have a cooperative relationship.”
Lisa Tang was directly dragged by Jiang Qi to the Ministry of Personnel for registration. After completing the registration, the highest-level administrative secretary of the Ye Group took her around and gave her a deep understanding of what it was like to be marked with nepotism. Jiang Qi was acknowledged and bowed everywhere they went; they even treated Lisa Tang respectfully in the same way.
She pushed open the door to the president’s office and said, “Chairman Ye…” But there was no one in the office. Probably Daniel Ye went out today.
Jiang Qi shrugged, “forget it, just do this first, listen to me, don’t go back to Elbert Bo. Think of another way for the studio’s affairs. And in the mean time you can kill some time while doing this job. You can even use your time to search online for people who are willing to help you.”
Lisa Tang glanced at Jiang Qi with some gratitude. Jiang Qi’s whole body was covered with goose bumps. “Please beautiful lady, don’t look at me like that. I’m not a dude, but if I were, I wouldn’t mind you repaying me with your body.”
Lisa Tang smiled and cursed, then Jiang Qi walked away gracefully, stepping on seven or eight centimeter high heels, like a fairy.
After Jiang Qi left, many colleagues around her showed their eager attention to this new beauty. “Do you know Secretary Jiang?”
“What is the relationship between you and Secretary Jiang?”
“Tsk, do you even need to ask? Isn’t she here because she pulled some strings?”
One of the women rolled her eyes while applying makeup, “You’ll be dismissed soon if you don’t have the capabilities so there’s nothing to be proud of.”
Lisa Tang didn’t speak; she had been accustomed to this kind of cynicism. When she was just released from prison to find a job, some people sneered at the jail time on her resume. “You’re so beautiful and went to jail. Did you go there because you worked as prostitute? Haha.”
She held back and didn’t say anything. People around her saw her indifferent, and thought she didn’t care about it, so they had to mock her in her face.
Sometimes, the more you ignore the rumors, the more they have to say it in front of you, wishing to tear your calm face away and watch you being mocked so thoroughly.
“Just look at her face and you will know what it is.”
“She must be the same as Jiang Qi, one to seduce the president, the other who is she going to seduce?”
“Haha, don’t you want to seduce the president, and then this will be fun, when the catfight starts, it will be wonderful.”
Lisa Tang clenched her fist and turned on the computer. Jiang Qi sent her a few files on it, telling her about her daily tasks at work and the company’s process. She tried to block the noise from the outside world, and looked at the computer seriously, at least to be worthy of Jiang Qi’s help.
In the afternoon, Daniel Ye came back and Jiang Qi followed behind him as usual. When she passed by, she put a candy on Lisa Tang’s table, and then asked, “Were you bullied?”
Lisa Tang raised her face, her eyes were cold. “Don’t worry about it. It doesn’t affect me.”
“It’s good if you can stick to it. When your studio gets better again, you don’t need to look at the faces of these people.” Jiang Qi feels a little distressed about her, ”There is only so much I can help you with.”
“No, you have helped me a lot.” Lisa Tang smiled at Jiang Qi, “don’t worry about me, go and do your work.”
Jiang Qi nodded and quickly followed Daniel Ye’s pace, and then when she left, people looked at Lisa Tangs with strange eyes. Obviously disdainful and contemptuous, but because of the backer behind her they had to give her a bit of face, Lisa Tang sneered in her heart, there’s nothing new in this so-called workplace.
When she got off work in the evening, Jiang Qi was waiting downstairs, but she saw Elbert Bo approaching the door of their company. The handsome man stepped in and walked in with an arrogant aura and enchanting features. As soon as Jiang Qi saw him, she immediately sent a message to Lisa Tang, telling her not to come down first. Unfortunately… The elevator door opened and the two met.
Elbert Bo showed an unexpected surprise on his face. He was shocked seeing Lisa Tang here; he couldn’t help but raise his tone. “What are you doing here?”
Hos tone was harsh and interrogative. As though Lisa Tang is doing something shameful.
Lisa Tang backed down automatically, came out of the elevator, and looked directly into Elbert Bo’s eyes. She said, “this is none of your business, Young Master Bo.”
Elbert Bo was originally going to take the elevator. When he heard her say this, he changed his mind. He walked up and grabbed her by the wrist. “Now that you were blocked out of the industry by me, you tried every means to seduce Daniel Ye’s?”
Lisa Tang eyes turned red after listening to his jeering remarks, she clenched her fists tightly together, “Not everyone is as worthless as you think, Young Master Bo, no matter how I am, I don’t bother to rely on a man to come to the top, please let go of me!”
The words she said were sonorous and powerful, and Elbert Bo was shocked and he just let her go without a second though. Once she was free Lisa Tang turned around and left, she didn’t even give him a backward glance, as if he was a mere passerby.
He narrowed his eyes behind her. Just then, Daniel Ye got down from another elevator, he saw Elbert Bo, and said hello to him.
The two of them had business to discuss. It is not uncommon for Elbert Bo to come over after work, but the man took the initiative to ask. “Lisa Tang work here?”
Daniel Ye thought about it, and vaguely recalled that Jiang Qi seemed to ask him to arrange for her to work in the company, so he nodded, “Yes.”
Elbert Bo gritted his teeth. “Why is she in your company?”
Daniel Ye was a little bit amused by his question. “To work, of course.”

In the north-eastern corner of the Jagannatha temple is a humble shrine. A temple of Shiva, it is not a magnificent structure. However, the inner chamber of this small shrine, where the shiva-linga is enshrined, is buried deep under the plinth- about 25 feet below the temple floor.
This temple only has a single door facing towards the north, which is rather strange for a Hindu Temple. Nonetheless, when one enters the temple, the inner door faces the east. Since the temple is located in the north-eastern corner of the entire temple complex, the deity is called Aishaneshwara or Ishaneshwara, Aishanya being the Sanskrit word for the north-east direction.
The medieval Odia poet, Kabisurjya Baladeba Ratha mentions Ishaneshwara in the first song of his incomplete imaginary epic-poem, Chandrakala. That he chooses to talk about this deity while describing the temple complex indicates the god’s fame.
ଈଶାନ ପ୍ରଭାବ ପ୍ରଭୁ ଈଶାନନାଥର
ସମଗ୍ରତା ସେ କରିବେ ମୋ ମନୋରଥର ଯେ |Ishaneshwara, as brilliant as the sun- surely (he) will fulfill my wishes.
According to historians, this temple is older than the present temple of Jagannatha himself. Interestingly, the word ‘Ishana’ can also mean preceptor- and hence, folk traditions speak of this form of Shiva being the teacher of Lord Jagannatha. Shiva is often portrayed as a teacher, as in the famous Dakshinamurti form- however, what makes this example unique is the idea of a God teaching another. Jagannatha has an uncle, an aunt, a brother, a sister; and a teacher too.
The entire idea surely conveys one message, and does that effectively- that even God needs a teacher.

So I was restoring and found out today the drive letters was mixed up and as usual bootmgr was popping up with some ntldr is missing error. So I to do some searching.
Drive letters are reversed after restore.
So basically you will find disk partition in booting into the recovery environment cd and then a command prompt will show up.
Commands are like
list volume – will show you all the volumes
select volume1 – change the 1 to whichever number to select the volume you want to do commands to
remove – use this after you have selected the volume, takes out the drive letter from the volume
assign letter C – use this after you have selected the volume, change C to which ever drive letter you want to change to.

“The man who had been dead came out, his hands and feet wrapped in strips of linen and his face covered with a cloth. Yeshua said to them, “Unwrap him, and let him go!””
Yochanan (Jhn) 11:44 CJB
Jesus did what the people could not – he brought Lazarus to life.
I watched The Heart of Man last night on Netflix. It’s a powerful movie which left me inspired and peaceful. Afterwards, I started thinking – What should I do now?
And I got my answer which was more about being than doing. It’s much easier to do than to just be. We are human beings not human doings. It’s so tempting to do instead of be. God calls us to come to Him with a contrite heart. Contrition is something you are not something you do. He calls us to be still and know that He is God. Stillness is a state of being – example: you can run all over the place doing errands and rushing about and still have a stillness of being..a stillness of mind.
Jesus calls out Lazarus and raises him to life. Then He calls the people surrounding him to take off the burial cloths and linen. Jesus did what the people could not do. He alone did the hard work. He called the people to do what they could.
So often we rush ahead in ministries as our minds run a hundred miles per hour as we chase down and implement one idea after the next. God is calling us to relationship…to be still and know Him. Our ultimate purpose is to love God and love people. How can we learn to love a God we are never spending time with?
Everything we do as Christians, should be based on our relationship with and response to God. He’ll call us to do our part. He’ll call us to do what we can. But first, be still and know.

Hello My Beautiful Readers,
Are you familiar with the saying, When in Doubt, wear black. Not just any Black but Edgy Black Outfit. Black radiates confidence but an edgy black outfit gives you that sixth sense, don’t believe me try styling a head to toe black on edgy black outfit and tell me how you feel.
So Today I thought I would start by posing a question to you guys, ladies to be exact…. Do you ever have a fashion rut or worse do you always decide on an outfit and it feels funny or off even though you have worn it before and it was an awesome combo just the other day? because same. LOL! In order to avoid such feels have a couple of edgy black outfit ideas on the go. You could have this on a style board like I do on pinterest as seen here.
This weird habit where we end up with a pile of clothes on the bed and still screaming, “I have nothing to wear.” Oh Well, we have all been there, some more than others…. by some I actually mean me. I always have to go through this process of I hate my clothes or I need more clothes almost everyday. Having a standby Edgy Black Outfit has saved me a lot of headaches. It’s my little fashion insurance.
Over the past couple months I think I have been able to get out of the rut or rather I discovered my own fashion remedy: featured in almost every vogue and New York fashion week:
an-all-black outfit not just any black, an Edgy Black Outfit. It should be Stylish, classy & polished so it can help me stand out.
I ensemble a street Edgy Black Outfit chic style. I wore a black crop top and black skinnies with a signature hat. The golden statement acts as an accent that brings the outfit together. I paired it with boots to give it a laid back classy-edgy look with a black handbag and Voilà! Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy right? Oh! the black cape you ask. I had just watched Peter Pan J.K Haha! But it looks cool doesn’t it?
If clothes could be-friend us trust me I would be Best friends with an
all-black attire Edgy Black Outfit. The only thing you need in an all black outfit is a Baddie attitude… it’s one of those clothes when dressed well feels like you dressing hoping you will meet your worst Enemy… Ha!
If you haven’t added me on snapchat: Kymmie-21 now would be greater time as any, for I post a lot of my OOTD and my crazy daily routines…and in all honesty the last couple weeks have been pretty exciting…

He is very valuable in the passing game, too.
I think for him, having had the development of coaching offense and defense while he’s in Atlanta just makes him even more of a better candidate.
Sometimes you practice them a lot and you don’t get any, sometimes you don’t practice them at all, and you get a bunch.
That pushed his career total to 7, in the process moving him up yet another make your own football jersey on the NFL’s all-time list in that category over a player’s first six seasons.
You know it happens sometimes.
But, definitely Friday.
With five first-rounders on their offensive line and 10 on offense altogether, the Falcons could hope for an offensive resurgence with Ryan, who would need a return to form from running back Todd Gurley and a breakout year from tight end Hayden Hurst.
In 2019, the Falcons played all six of their NFC South games during the final eight games of the season.
Matt: Hey, Ethan!
I think the most thing that we have to get right is starting fast on the defensive part of the ball.
The rain came in, it got a little tough to throw on a few things so my ball sailed high but for the most part we protected unbelievable, ran the ball well and our defense did a great job of getting us the ball and we did a good job of having long drives and controlling the clock.
We can go score points ourselves and we’ve proven that early on in the year, so we’ve got to get back to those things.
Twelve other defenses were run on more often.
When you’re a bunch of veteran guys, just do your job.
We have custom youth baseball jerseys be able to do better.
I think he always comes out and tries to put himself in the best position possible to have success, and obviously through the record, he’s had that.
He’s coming in putting his hand customize my own jersey the pile.
To do anything now, you’ve got to earn it.
I don’t think you’ll have to worry about Matt Ryan going anywhere this season or next season, either.
If, in the judgment of our leadership staff, the camper is exhibiting serious symptoms necessitating further emergency action, we will proactively seek additional medical assistance in addition to contacting the designated parent guardian.
We’re really fortunate to have both of those guys.
Mike , obviously, is one of the best – if not the best – in the league.
The emergence of Russell Gage as the team’s third receiver after Atlanta traded Mohamed Sanu to the New England Patriots was encouraging for the future.
Neither team cracked 300 total yards on the day and neither passing attack could get much going downfield.
Following the bye, things get much tougher, however.
He’s going to compete I know and he’s got a good chance to make this football team if he plays the way he did at Missouri and the way we evaluated him.
Bucs Middle School Flag Football Program enhances the flag football curriculum for nearly 70 middle school students by providing Buccaneers flag kits, equipment and instruction.
He had six tackles, a hit on the quarterback and a pass defensed in his very first NFL game, the Week One loss at New Orleans.
But when we do get in those situations we have to make them.
But now the rivalry is renewed in the 2020 NFC Championship, with Aaron Rodgers – another sure-best Hall of Famer – replacing Favre and the Buccaneers countering with their own Canton-bound quarterback in Tom Brady.
We’ll do some Monday morning stuff to hopefully get ready before the ballgame and just focus on getting to a better start.
The lady said move fast.
I don’t want to revisit them all, but I’m pretty detailed and thorough.
When he was announced as active, many thought maybe Evans would be out there as a decoy and force the Washington defense to account for him and draw defenders from the guys who would actually shoulder the load.
I’d love to see two No.

“We are so proud to be able to host this fun event,” said Ryan Springer, Community Resources Coordinator for Sedgebrook. “This is a generation of seniors that has always had to depend on their own intellect and memories rather than technology for tasks such as spelling. They’re impressive.”
The event at Sedgebrook will be the initial, local level of competition. Two subsequent levels of competition will culminate at the State Finals at the 2013 Illinois State Fair on Senior Day, Monday, August 12.
“We are excited to open this to the public. Residents from Sedgebrook are participating and I know these people…. they’re sharp and are going to be putting up some fierce competition. I hope people from outside of the Sedgebrook community come and give them a run for their money,” said Springer.
The Illinois State Senior Spelling Bee will be held on Monday, April 29th at Sedgebrook’s Shoreline Lounge. Check-in is at 12 noon and the competition begins at 1. A reception will be held after the event. For additional information call Ryan Springer at 847-876-2373, State Representative Sente’s office at 847-478-9909 or email email@example.com.

Sundays are usually a day where I take my time in the kitchen, but with the arrival of not-winter (as it’s not really spring here in Anchorage yet but the snow is mostly melted), we spent most of our day playing outside. I left very little time to prepare dinner.
This recipe was a clean-out-the-fridge type of meal. I had pesto, broccoli, chicken and pre-cooked rice hanging out in my fridge so I put them all together and it was delicious and comforting. It’s a one-stop shop for flavor and nutrients.
I used my spinach pesto recipe but feel free to use the regular kind instead.
Broccoli rice chicken pesto casserole
For the marinade:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 7 chicken tenderloins or 2 small chicken breasts
For the casserole:
- 3.5 cups warmed cooked rice (white, brown, farro, whatever grain you want really)
- 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
- 1.5-2 cups pesto
- zest of one lemon
- shredded mozzarella and pecorino Romano (or Parmesan)
Mix the marinade together in a zip top bag. Pound the chicken breasts lightly and place in bag. Marinate for 15-30 minutes.
Place the rice in a large casserole dish and set aside. Steam the broccoli until tender, about 5 minutes, and add to the rice along with the lemon zest.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over high flame and add a little drizzle of cooking oil. When pan is hot add the chicken with the marinade. Cook chicken until caramelizes and deep brown on both sides, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken to the casserole dish.
Add in the pesto and stir until everything is well combined. Smooth out the mixture with the back of a spoon and sprinkle lightly with cheeses. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 70 Bulldogs will host the 2010 ECAC Division I Men’s Indoor Tennis Championship this weekend at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center. As the No. 3 seed in the tournament, Yale will attempt to improve upon its 2-1 record when it opens the weekend with a 9 a.m. match against Princeton on Saturday.
Seven of eight Ivy League teams will compete in the nine-team tournament field. Defending Ivy League Champion Columbia will be the No. 1 seed, and Harvard will be the No. 2 seed. Cornell (4), St. John’s University (5), Princeton (6), Brown (7), Dartmouth (8), and Sacred Heart University (9) will round out the field.
“This weekend will give us a preview of the Ivy League season,” said Alex Dorato, the Cary Leeds Head Coach of Men’s Tennis. “All the Ivy's except Penn are participating in the ECAC Championships so we'll get to see our competition and where we stack up in comparison. If we play well, there is no team we can't beat, so I am very optimistic about the weekend.”
The Season to Date
Last weekend, Yale cruised to a 6-1 victory over Army on the road. Yale swept the three doubles matches and won five of six singles matches in straight sets.
The Bulldogs opened their season two weekends ago with a win and a loss. Yale pulled out a 4-3 win over No. 70 Radford Saturday before losing to No. 1 USC in the ITA Division I Men’s Kick-off Weekend.
Yale’s 2010 schedule includes matches against five teams that were ranked in the presesason ITA National Rankings. The Bulldogs will play No. 56 Radford, No. 61 Furman, No. 50 Columbia, and No. 63 Harvard. In addition, Yale will either play defending national champion No. 1 USC or No. 55 Vanderbilt.
Seven Returning Players
Yale returns seven players from a team that finished 4-3 in the Ivy League last season. Senior captain Connor Dawson, junior Calvin Bennett, sophomore Joel Samaha, and sophomore Erik Blumenkranz all were major contributors to a Bulldogs team that went 14-8 overall.
Three New Additions
The Bulldogs add three players who will not only be major contributors right away, but also should be stars for Yale. Freshmen Marc Powers and John Huang are blue chip recruits that come to Yale along with freshman Daniel Hoffman as part of the Bulldogs’ No. 4 recruiting class. Powers, Huang, and Hoffman all had great fall seasons for Yale.
2009 ITA National Indoor Championships
Yale played host to the 2009 ITA National Indoor Championships from Nov. 5 to Nov. 8 at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center. The 2009 ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, the nation’s premier collegiate indoor tennis tournament, is the second of three national championship events for college tennis this season. The ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships featured a 32-player singles field and 16-team doubles field.
The draws were made up of qualifiers from Wilson / ITA Regional Championships held across the country, the ITA National Small College Championships, top performers from the ITA All-American Championships, and at-large wild card selections made by the ITA National Tournament Committee.
As host of the tournament, the Bulldogs received two singles bids and one doubles bid. Freshmen Marc Powers and John Huang played singles for Yale in the tournament, and the doubles team of Samaha and Bennett represented the Bulldogs in the doubles field.
The Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center
The Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center serves as home for the Bulldogs. The fabulous eight-court facility complete with a spectacular viewing area and lobby has been serving as the home of Yale tennis since 2008.
The Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center was made possible by the generous leadership gifts from Sam Heyman '60 and the estate of the late Joseph Cullman III. The project includes a new building with four new courts that are attached to the existing four Cullman Courts. Additionally, the renovation includes team locker rooms, a team room and coaches' offices. The new spacious lobby has been named by Larry Leeds `50 in honor of his son Cary '79. The eight courts have been named to recognize great figures in Yale Tennis history.

service and a competitive price on my Cobb AccessPort. They are a good company and I would not hesitate to buy from them again. On a side note, the AccessPort is a very good choice as a tuning solution. I have used this on several different vehicles in the past and their tunes have always been rock solid.”

One of my led bulbs went out on my E90, So I called to place an order on just one. I don’t know how this happen but Jurrian said if it was OK to send a replacement for free just pay shipping. Free? For some reason I felt it was too good to be true, so (I wish I didn’t) had to ask why? With all honesty reason is because they wanted to make customers happy. It was their first day working on a Saturday plus they were in a good mood. (word of advice, call on Saturdays.) So thanks Jurrian and the team at ModAuto.com you did a magnificent job!”
“I bought my ST coilovers from ModAuto (thanks Jurrian!!). Excellent service as always from them.”

Every leader or would-be leader must ask and answer the question, “What am I going to do with my life?” Regardless of how one answers this question, at some point one will have to say “no” in order to pursue their life calling. The critical question is, what or who will you say “no” to?
The leadership quality we learn from Moses is the ability to say “no.” It was this, and his ability to deny himself, that entitled and enabled Moses to be a great leader.
How did Moses get to the point of saying “no”? I believe the events surrounding Moses’ departure from Egypt shattered him. When the Lord appeared in a burning bush, Moses was an insecure, fearful man. His responses to God showed this, “Who am I? Who are you? What if the Israelites don’t believe me? I’m not good with words. Send someone else” (Exodus 3). The Lord graciously convinced Moses He would be with him. Moses believed God and by placing his confidence in God, Moses was able to say “no” to Egypt and “yes” to leading Israel.
Hebrews 11:23–28 summarizes this situation well. The courage to say “no” was first modelled by his parents, who were unafraid to disobey the king’s command to kill Hebrew babies. When Moses grew up, he rejected the wealth, power, and fame of being called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. Moses said “no” to the fleeting pleasures of sin and instead shared in the oppression of God’s people. He said “no” to fearing Pharaoh and left Egypt refusing to turn back. He said “no” to unbelief and the angel of death and “yes” to obedience in faithfully keeping the Passover as God commanded.
Throughout his life, this was something Moses continued learning. Perhaps he thought being the leader meant being omnicompetent. His father-in-law Jethro saw how Moses was spending entire days listening to and solving disputes between people so he told Moses how to empower and delegate much of that task to others. Moses accepted his limitations and said “no” to pride and self-sufficiency, thus keeping him from burning out and able to be a better leader for the people.
Later in their wanderings, Moses was attacked regarding his wife, and his leadership was criticized and undermined by those closest to him (Numbers 12:1–16). Moses resisted lashing back and vindicating himself. He let God settle the score. He was able to say no to bitterness toward Miriam, and graciously asked the Lord to heal her of her sin-induced leprosy. For this he was called the most humble person on earth (v.3).
Moses’ humility was due in part to his awareness and acceptance of his limitations. He did not view himself as superior. He was humble because he also cultivated a meaningful, personal relationship and fellowship with the Lord.
The attitude that allowed Moses to say “no” to temporal pleasures and pursuits is spelled out for us in Hebrews 11:23–27 (NASB). By faith, Moses’ vision was focused on “seeing Him who is unseen” and “looking to the reward.” In other words, the ability to say “no” is rooted in a vibrant faith in God and the belief that He is the ultimate rewarder. That focus keeps everything else in perspective.
From there, Moses carefully considered and weighed two outcomes—the riches gained from suffering the reproach of Christ and enduring ill-treatment with God’s people versus the treasures of Egypt and temporary pleasures of sin. He concluded the value of God’s eternal reward was greater than any temporal material wealth and position. So he chose to say “no” to the pleasures and treasures of Egypt. In the words of martyred missionary Jim Elliot, “he was no fool to give what he couldn’t keep to gain what he couldn’t lose.”
Staying focused on the One who ultimately matters and His eternal reward waiting for us allows us to keep things in perspective and say “no” to lesser things and anything that “slows us down…We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne” (Hebrews 12:1–2).
The ability for the Christian leader to say “no” is rooted in these same things. It comes by fixing our eyes on Jesus as the One we are ultimately accountable to and by Whom we will be rewarded. Then, we must carefully weigh the eternal values against the temporal ones.
Because Moses’ vision and values were focused on that which is eternal, he had the ability to say “no” and God gave him a leadership role that far exceeded anything he ever would have had in Egypt.

Passion Pit Hit Pomona Fox Theater December 12
Passion Pit @ Fox Theater Pomona Sat 12/12
The rapid ascendancy of Passion Pit continues unabated, with no sign of backlash. We’re kinda over them but liked their early stuff, like from way back in March 2009 at SXSW. Should be interesting to see if/how fast they sell out this good sized show at the Fox Theater. Gotta think they’ll squeeze in an LA show around this one and SF on 12/10. When’s the KROQ Acoustic Xmas? Could/would they play that?

Discussion in 'DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion' started by JustinBrown, Sep 2, 2007.
Between Seagate and WD, which tends to be a quieter internal drive?
Use that one what support AAM and setup it as "quiet".
Either the Seagate DB35 or Western Digital drives with the part number ending in JB ( such as WD2500AAJB ) are designed for DVR's. Hope this answers your question.
Sure ? I saw SATA WD 320/500 GB AAJS and AAKS in D* and E* DVRs.
It's probably more correct to say that drives ending in JB are marketed for DVR's.
1) Are the external drives plug and play or do I have to perform any sw hacking to get the system to use the external drive instead of the internal drive?
2) Does the external drive have to be pre-formatted with SW?
I am hoping its as simple as powering down the unit, plugging in the external drive and the rebooting the system and reentering season passes and favorites and be done with it but that may be too hopeful..
Your hopes are right.
One more question about the compession issue. Am I correct in assuming that MPEG4 is more compressed than MPEG2?
In the context of DirecTV, it is safe to assume that an MPEG4 channel will be broadcast at a lower bitrate than an MPEG2 channel. So yes, it would be "more compressed."
OK, so what's next? MPEG6 or is it exponential? What has the "bitrate" to do with compression? And PQ?
MPEG5 is next in the numbering sequence, but it doesn't exist yet. The reason it goes from MPEG2 to MPEG4 is because MPEG3 was abandoned.
The higher the bitrate, the less compression is applied to the video, and the higher the PQ. The bitrate is the amount of data sent down for the channel in a given amount of time, usually measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Sorry for the dumb question, what are season passes? Is that the season-long recording of a series?
Yes season passes are when you record the series of a show.
Season passes are actually TiVo.
Series links are the HR20 and R15.
You know, in theory MPEG-4 not only offers better compression but better quality than MPEG-2....win/win. It has more precsion in dealing with intra-frame artifacts and other items...however, this is all dependent on how the encoders are setup to capture the source. I can't say for sure but since bandwidth is the name of the game it has been told to me the use of MPEG-4 is for the better compression primarily by the MSOs.
Not just in theory, it's a fact. At the same bitrate, MPEG-4 will win every time. A lower bitrate MPEG-4 feed can even look better than a higher bitrate MPEG-2 feed.
Agreed....the theory was it depends on how they have the bit rate and also one of the other advantages MPEG-4 supports in coding of video objects with spatial and temporal scalability. MPEG-2 as you mentioned is more bit rate scalable, MPEG-4 lets them play/tweek at another level. I'm sure D* has worked out for them the best combo of bandwidth and improved quality over cable but my only point was that in trying to understand how much you can store on any given HDD size you would have to know alot about how D* and the MSOs are setting up the encoders.....with MPEG-4 there is many more variables to guess at. At the end of the day....I'm happy with the quality.
Anyway, HDDs are getting cheap.
Not really. The only thing that matters is the bitrate that the encoder is pumping out. All of the other options make no difference in the storage space.
I'm looking for quiet 750gb internal drive options for the HR-20 but can't find anything like this at newegg...is there no such thing yet at this capacity?
I guess it depends on your room, where you house them, etc., but I have bought two of the Seagate Free Agent 750 GB drives at NewEgg:
with this cable:
and they seem very quiet to me - I have no complaints at all!

If your transport trailer is intended for livestock business, it’s essential that you are fully covered with a comprehensive Poultry Transport Trailer Insurance Policy. Why? You never know what could happen during your daily trips while using the transport trailer, like a road accident or theft. Without insurance coverage, you are left helpless and in huge financial loss. So, if you are finally convinced that getting an insurance policy is the wisest move to keep your livestock business on the go, here are quick steps to help you choose the right insurance policy.
Step #1 – Assess potential risks on a daily basis
This is your initial task before deciding on the type or scope of poultry transport trailer insurance policy you will consider, assess the potential risks that you are facing on a daily basis. Ask yourself the following questions:
Are you prone to road collisions while on the road?
Do you rely most of your earnings on this transport vehicle?
Is the transport vehicle exposed to vandals?
If your answers to these questions lead to “Yes”, might as well give in to the idea that you really need to get this vehicle insured as soon as possible.
Step #2 – Verify if you can pay the required monthly insurance premium
Another concern that will help you make a decision fast in buying poultry transport trailer insurance is your finances. Verify if you can really afford to pay the monthly insurance premium fees. I suggest you compute your earnings including other financial obligations that you are paying regularly and check if you still have something left to cover an insurance policy. If your computation confirms you have room to finance any future purchase, go ahead with this plan and discuss with a prospective insurance broker your insurance needs.
Step #3 – Get free insurance quotes
Shop around for the right insurance policy, so that when you go home you can compare prices. Pricing is just a piece of the puzzle that will help you make the right decision. There are other things you need to consider such as customer service and support that each insurer could provide after the purchase.
Step #4 – Follow your instinct
Sometimes, following what your instinct tells you to do is the best decision, especially when buying a poultry transport trailer insurance policy. If you feel during your first meeting with an insurance broker that it is a good fit and they know what they are talking about, don’t take too long in making a decision, and hire his or her professional services.
I do hope the above steps can help you choose the right poultry transport trailer insurance policy. Give yourself some time to understand the terms and conditions covering your potential insurance policy and learn how you can maximise its protection coverage to ensure you can proceed with your livestock business without fear of encountering financial losses.

The 2020 schedule is almost here.
The NFL will officially drop a full schedule in a three-hour special starting at 8 p.m. ET Thursday, the “Schedule Release ’20” on the NFL Network, the league announced on Monday afternoon.
The schedule special will include analysis of every team’s schedule and divisional breakdowns, along with other presumed top matchups next fall. It will also include, per the release, remote interviews from league coaches and general managers.
— Omar Ruiz (@OmarDRuiz) May 4, 2020
The full schedule comes despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has brought the sports world largely to a halt in recent weeks. Teams are already participating in virtual offseason training programs, and the league announced earlier on Monday that there will be no international games this season due to the virus.
The Miami Dolphins shared their preliminary plan for holding games this fall amid the pandemic on Monday, too. The team’s plan, CEO and president Tom Garfinkel shared on “Good Morning America,” included varied arrival times, exiting by row, ordering food pickups from seats and a reduced attendance capacity.
There were more than 1.1 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States as of Monday afternoon, according to The New York Times, and more than 68,500 deaths attributed to the virus.
Still, the NFL said over the weekend that it planned to start the season “on time” with games beginning on Sept. 10. Any changes due to the virus will come later.
“If we have to make adjustments, we will be prepared to do so on the latest guidance from our medical experts and public health officials and current and future government regulations,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Been there, plundered that.
CANNES, FRANCE — Roger Ebert was honored with a panel at the American Pavilion in Cannes this afternoon, held at a terrace officially known as the Roger Ebert Conference Center. The panelists included Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times, and Eric Kohn of Indiewire.
The moderator, Columbia University's Annette Insdorf, who used to host the festival's awards ceremony on American TV with Ebert, began by invoking the late critic's generosity. "He was what my father would have called a mensch," she said. Much of the discussion included tales of encounters with Ebert at Cannes and other festivals.
"So many of my memories of Roger are from here," Ebert's longtime friend Turan said. "I can feel his presence very strongly."
Phillips recalled BlackBerry struggles during his first trip to Cannes, in 2006, when Ebert showed him the ropes and introduced him to the right contacts. "Suddenly the whole trip went very smoothly, just because Roger took the time," he said. And this, he added, was to help "an alleged competitor of the Sun-Times."
Topics included Ebert's place in American film criticism, his conversational prose style, his influence on championing smaller movies, and the way he introduced readers and viewers to new types of films. Kohn remembered Ebert's advice on how to deal with nasty commenters ("Fuck it. Keep on keepin' on"), and Insdorf quoted from a celebrated passage from Ebert's memoir, "Life Itself," about the importance of being kind to others. Chicago-raised filmmaker Tanya Wexler ("Hysteria") echoed that sentiment during the Q&A at the end, commenting about Ebert's optimism as a critic. "Like it, love it, or hate it," she said, "you knew he loved movies, and he would find what he could to love in them."
Before questions were taken, Insdorf acknowledged the presence of Chaz Ebert, who spoke briefly. "Roger said that the cinema expands your imagination," she said. "And when it's done well, what it will do is allow the individual to be transported beyond linear boundaries and to take you to a world that you hadn't seen before and allow you inside and outside to become a better person."
Those in attendance were then to walk on over to the beach, where Ebert was given a "500 thumbs up" salute.

I had a chip on my shoulder about this game when my hopes were dashed of an RoA4. But it is one of the few big budget fancy games I am looking foward to and will purchase on day one (day one of a digital download option). This is far more up my alley than any other big budget fancy game being made, even if it isn't the game I wished it to be.
I think this game will do well in the lng run, like a Troika game. I hope it does well enough to turn into a series and spur more games like it. If I can't get what I want, at least I can get sort of close.

This well-located family home is a real tardis which immediately becomes noticeable as soon as you step into the substantial entrance hallway. Walking through the hallway, past the lounge with wood burner and dining room you are welcomed into the ‘wow factor' kitchen. This has been extended to provide additional space and very well designed with sky lights, underfloor heating, space for family dining and even ‘disco lighting' for entertaining – a great family space and most definitely the focal point of the house. Sliding doors from here open onto the South facing garden which is unusually private and secluded for Brighton and even has a rear gate with access via Southdown Avenue for muddy bikes, dogs etc. Rugby Road is a leafy, tree-lined road and one of Brighton's prime addresses, very well located for family living with some of the best schools in the city within a short walk, Preston Park and Blakers Park are also close by with their recreational facilities, a cycling track, bowling green, playground areas and cafes. They both have fun events taking place over the summer months. Locally there are a handful of great ‘foodie' pubs, plenty of coffee shops and individual shops at Fiveways including a great butchers and green grocers. Not to forget the Florence Road Farmers market which is a firm favourite with locals and just a 1-minute walk from your front door every Saturday morning.
Commuters will be pleased to read that there are three train stations within walking distance, London Rd station being just 5 minutes away and the A27/A23 are also both within easy reach.
What the Owner says:
The main attraction to this house for us 4 years ago was its location, we wanted to be amongst everything that Brighton has to offer but also get the space needed as a family.
Since buying the house we have maximised the space both downstairs and up, . Downstairs we extended the kitchen/breakfast room and added sliding doors to the garden. The kitchen island worktop and 4 shelves are made from Elm wood from a tree I cut down myself from Fiveways children's nursery nearby. English Elm wood is quite rare. We also extended into the loft to provide 2 further bedrooms and a shower room. The wall separating these two rooms is a stud wall and can be easily removed if one larger bedroom is preferred.

but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.Philippians 2:7(NASB)
Our natural inclination is to place ourselves in the centre of everything and to think how we are going to be affected by this and that, before we consider the needs, necessities or feelings of others - before we consider the desire of God's heart. Indeed even when we do exhibit 'caring concern', how often our choices are rooted in selfish pride, knowing that our 'thoughtful' actions will excite the applause of others and feed our ego, which will only result in a selfish smugness or a self-absorbed pride!!
And yet this was not the attitude of the Lord Jesus Who set side His heavenly glory in order to be made in the likeness of sinful man. Jesus looked to the needs of others before He considered Himself. The One Who is the very essence of God, and Who is complete in Himself considered your needs and mine before His own, when He emptied Himself.. and took upon Himself the form of a slave - for He knew that the sacrifice of Himself was the only way that we could be saved from our scarlet sins; our gross sinfulness; our selfish smugness and our self-absorbed pride.
God the eternal Son and divine Creator did not try to keep hold of all that is His by right of His unique position and person, but humbled Himself and laid aside His glory, in order to become subject to His Father and live as man was originally created to live - only doing those things that He heard from His Father and only acting on the instructions of the Holy Spirit.
He was still fully God in every sense of the word, for the Word was God and the Word became flesh and He dwelt amongst us. During His sojourn on earth the Lord Jesus was still omniscient, still omnipotent and even still omnipresent - but He emptied Himself of His positional equality with God and veiled His divine glory within human flesh - a Body that God had prepared for Him in the womb of His earthly mother. Jesus was fully human yet fully God - the unique God-Man. This was the one and only 'hypostatic union' of God and Man - uniting the humanity of Jesus with the divinity of God - in one unique.. individual Person.
Yet He veiled His glory, emptied Himself of His glory, left His place in heaven and took upon Himself the form of a bond-servant by becoming a real Man. There is no more worthy example of selfless humanity and gracious humility than our Saviour Jesus Christ. And Jesus is the example that we are called upon to follow - but a road which is often thwarted by our selfish smugness and our self-absorbed pride.
We are challenged daily to let THIS mind be in us that was in Christ Jesus.. and to choose to follow the path of the cross by setting aside our own natural inclination to place self on the throne of our lives - and in the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.. and by means of the new life of Christ - to empty ourselves of 'Self' and become a servant of all - for His sake Who loved us so much that He died that we might live.
Heavenly Father, the truth of Christ's incarnation is wonderful and full of glory.. that Christ should set aside His glory and leave His position in heaven to come to earth as a bondservant, and to die on the cross for the sin of fallen humanity. Thank You for opening up my understanding to His sacrificial death and glorious resurrection and that in HIM I have life - to Whom be all praise and glory, AMEN.

There are two ways to go about being mediocre in college football. Strictly definitionally, a team can settle in somewhere directly between schools like Stanford and those like Eastern Michigan—finishing around .500 every season. But the more sneaky and much more frustrating sort of mediocre is the one that Nebraska embodies, wherein a team manages to employ all the advantages of being in a power conference in the service of being exactly just good enough to be almost good.
Former Nebraska Athletic Director Steve Pederson fired Frank Solich after a 9-3 season. When Solich's replacement, Bill Callahan, was unable to turn things around, he too got canned and Pederson lost his job. Ever since, many Husker fans have second-guessed Solich's firing, and there's uneasiness that firing Bo Pelini for his teams' pedestrian on-field product would be unproductive and lead to the same shit all over again. Pelini has won at least nine games each of his seven seasons. But he's never won a conference championship, and after a loss on Saturday his team currently sits third in a shitty conference's shitty division. For teams in positions similar to Nebraska's, mediocrity presents nuanced challenges that neither the best nor the worst programs have to deal with.
Measuring Average Teams
To gauge which teams are the most average, we used Ed Feng's The Power Rank, which tracks expected point differentials against an average opponent. It factors in margin of victory, strength of schedule, statistics adjusted by opponent, and home field advantage. We took five- and ten-year averages of scores on the index to see which teams were most mediocre. We then stratified this by whether teams belong to a Big Five conference or not.
Overall, teams that had scores closest to 0 were the most average. Below is a table showing which teams have been the most average in college football the past five and ten seasons. Teams are ordered by how close they fall to the baseline average score.
|10 Year||Score||Range||5 Year||Score||Range|
|Wake Forest||-0.04||21.04||Iowa State||0.04||7.97|
|Baylor||0.60||38.39||San Diego State||-1.07||18.88|
|Northern Illinois||-0.61||24.34||North Carolina State||1.07||15.64|
When measured this way you get a mixture of below-average power conference teams and above-average non-power conference teams. Iowa State and Wake Forest have been pretty shitty in their leagues. While Houston and Fresno State have put together some solid seasons in their conferences.
You also get a mixture of teams that were consistently average and teams that look average by combining really good and really bad seasons. Although Baylor won the Big 12 last season, they look average over a ten-year duration because the Bears had the worst football program in the Big 12 before Art Briles turned things around with players like Robert Griffin and Terrance Williams. Baylor's high range captures this volatility. While Kentucky's low range shows the Wildcats have stayed consistently mediocre.
Average Power Conference Teams
But the big money is really in the power conferences and those schools evaluate themselves relative to other big programs. Kentucky appears on the chart above, but no SEC fan would view the Wildcats as "average." So we examined how Big Five schools compare to each other.
For Big Five schools, the five-year average score was 6.265 and the ten-year average was 6.225. Big Five teams were considered average by how close they scored to those figures.
What those figures show is that on average, teams from the power conferences are about a touchdown better than your average team. If you break this out further, non-Big Five teams have a five-year average of -6.277 and ten-year average of -5.744. Which means power conference schools are not quite two touchdowns better than non-power conference schools on average.
Below is a table of the most average power conference teams.
|10 Year||Score||Range||5 Year||Score||Range|
In the past ten seasons, Nebraska has lost at least four games each year, placing the Huskers among the most average teams in college football. But Nebraska isn't unique in its fall given this list is littered with fallen Midwest powers. Which reflects population shifts that have favored the South and West, making recruiting more difficult for teams in the middle of the country. And SEC schools have paid their coaches more than other schools while also raising more money from athletic donations, which has helped the conference extend its dominance even further.
Trends that have recently favored Southern schools don't appear to be slowing down. While this list is just a snapshot of what's happened in recent seasons, demographics and economics suggest that former-Midwest powerhouses like Nebraska will continue gravitating toward mediocrity.

I am trying to make what I thought was a simple game.
Here's what it is the user inputs a number and the computer tries to guess the number. This is done by means of less or more using the inputbox. function.
This is what I have so far:-
procedure TForm1.StartClick(Sender: TObject);
a:=InputBox('User Input','Please enter number between 0 and 100','0');
User.Caption:='User Inputs ' + a;
Comp.Caption:='Computer Guesses ' + b;
if b<>a then
if b > a then
d:=Inputbox('User Input','Is it less or more?','less');
if b=a then
but I am, at a lost as how to take the string of the inputbox and tell the computer it is less more so as it can add or subtract from is original guess until it gets it right.
Any help would be much appericated.

On August 16, 1967, Ayn Rand made her first appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The surviving segment is worth watching for three reasons:
- There are some good sound bites introducing Objectivism for those who don't have the time or inclination to plow through a couple of thousand pages of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Although an Ayn Rand soundbite lasts about 5 minutes.
- Ayn Rand would be fairly horrified by her fan club these days. And I suspect that many of them would be fairly horrified by her if they paid closer attention.
- Could you imagine something like this taking place on a talk show today? Or anywhere on television? Carson self-deprecatingly refers to his program as a "crazy entertainment show," although one in which "we do like to sit down occasionally and get some views of people that are important in the world today." What follows is a high-minded and civil discussion in which Carson is neither a proponent nor an opponent, but rather an interested and skeptical thinker who is trying to draw out Rand's arguments as well as he can.

A Jersey girl through and through, Carolyn grew up spending her summers down in Avalon, NJ. As a young girl, she often cooked alongside her mother and grandmother, whose seafood creations instilled a true passion for fresh, local produce...
They say the Hasselback potato got its name in the early 1940s, when the Hasselbacken Hotel Restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden, was the first to serve this fanned out version of the baked potato. It's simple to make and beautiful when fresh out of the oven! A wonderful side dish to your holiday meal!
What's great about the Hasselback potato, is that you can make a whole pan of them in the morning and then simply reheat in the oven right before dinner! Here we topped our potatoes with cheese, bacon, sour cream and sliced green onion, but these could be served many different ways! Fresh chopped herbs, Parmesan and butter or simply plain with some kosher salt and fresh-cracked pepper!
Hasselback potato recipe
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean of any dirt
8 tablespoons butter, cut into slices (1 stick)
12 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
4 slices bacon, cooked crispy, blotted dry and chopped
4 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a potato on a clean, flat surface horizontally. (If potato rolls and does not want to sit straight, slice a tiny bit of potato off the bottom so it has a flat surface to sit on.)
Using a large sharp knife, slice slits into the potato about 1/8 inch apart, being sure not to cut all the way through the bottom of the potato. (Do this with each potato.)
Place potatoes slit side up, into a roasting pan with low sides and drizzle the potatoes with olive oil. Top each potato with a good pinch of kosher salt. Place pan in the preheated oven and bake for one hour.
After the hour is up and the potatoes are cooked through and crispy looking on top, place butter slices and some cheese into the slits of the potatoes. (There are no rules here, simply stuff as many slits as desired generously with butter and cheese, adding more or less depending on your preference.)
Place pan back into the oven and cook an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese and butter are melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top with sour cream, bacon and green onion. Serve.

Spencer’s latest personal series.
Whilst documenting life during lockdown, there were a few sub plots that emerged. A theme that seemed to be at the forefront of public discourse, after it was announced, was fitness. Being as it was the only excuse to leave the house and people found themselves with a lot more time on their hands (and perhaps the ominous presence of an approaching pandemic), the nation suddenly seemed more concerned with getting in shape than ever before and innovative ways of doing so.
Rumour has it a tradesman (carpenter or welder, depending on who I talked to) from Belarus took it upon himself to build an outdoor public gym from things he found around the woodlands of Hackney Marshes; repurposed logs and old scraps of material, when the other park apparatus were cordoned off. It quickly became a communal space for those brave enough to share a barbell in gloved, sanitised hands. As gyms are set to re-open this weekend the future of this makeshift weight room is uncertain. Perhaps the next time kids come and break a weight, it won’t get repaired and it will once again become some quiet forgotten woodland glade. Perhaps the birds and the squirrels will remember?

Money is rarely the most exciting thing you’ll need to talk about in your relationship. However, that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. Whether you like it or not, money is a crucial part of anyone’s life and something that needs to be budgeted and addressed as a team.
Remember, just as a business can’t run without a successful budget, a family can’t get by without financial rules either. Here are some of the reasons why it’s so important to make sure that you run regular family budgeting meetings:
- You’ll reduce the risk of fighting over money
- You’ll work on your goals as a team and reach them faster
- You’ll get on the same page as your partner about money
- You’ll learn how to communicate more efficiently about budgeting problems
- You’ll plan ahead and deal with your cash proactively.
So, how do you get started?
How to Run Family Budgeting Meetings
1. Set Some Ground Rules
There’s no one-size-fits-all guide to budgeting. Different people need to take unique approaches to the way that they handle their money. With that in mind, you’ll need to decide on what’s going to work for you. For instance, how frequently do you need to talk about money? To begin with, you might need to touch base once a week. However, after a while, you’ll be able to get by with just monthly meetings.
2. Be Prepared
If you were going to a business meeting, you wouldn’t turn up without doing any research. In the same way, when you’re arranging your budgeting meetings, it’s a good idea to plan exactly what you’re going to cover before the meeting begins.
Decide which topics you need to address first. For instance, maybe you need to decide what your financial goals are going to be for the next year and the next five years. Perhaps you have to discuss how bills are divided into your household, and where you can cut down on expenses. Create an agenda for your meeting, and you’ll find that you won’t look forward to the next budgeting meeting with dread.
3. Be Real with Each other
Even if you’re worried about hurting your other half’s feelings, or causing them to worry about money, it’s important to be realistic about your cash. Hiding the facts about your financial health is one of the easiest ways to bring an end to your relationship. The majority of marital spats happen because of financial reasons, and a lack of communication.
When you decide to work together as a team on your finances, honesty is the foundation that will keep things running smoothly.
4. Define Your Individual Roles
Another crucial component of budgeting is making sure that everyone knows what they’re responsible for. While you both may be responsible for sticking to specific rules and spending goals, there are other things to think about too. Which bills come out of which accounts? What can be shared? How much should each save for the family?
Your ultimate goal should be to be debt free as a family. These 5 smart principles will help your family stay out of debt.
If one person in a relationship does all the spending, and the other one is continually rushing around looking for opportunities to save, then you’re going to end up with an argument on your hands. Spreading the responsibility out is a good way to make budgeting feel like less of a chore. You can even get the kids involved to help out when they’re old enough, by asking them to keep track of the bills or schedule the family meetings.
Once you stick to what you both agree upon, you will find your family budgeting meetings become less of a chore and more of a lifestyle. And remember, handling ones finances in a wise manner is one lesson you should start teaching the kids when young.

Sam Ring, currently studying on Level 3 Music, formed the band with Eevie Taylor, Aimee Allin and Luke McFarlane back in 2019.
Sam joined the Broadstairs Junior College at 14 when his current school decided to drop the GCSE in Music, a subject he knew he wanted to pursue. As part of the Junior College, Sam was able to study his Level 2 Music qualification alongside his GCSEs in maths and English. Working alongside the full-time Music students, Sam was able to build connections with his peers, and said, “I was worried about being younger than the other students and how I would fit in, but it really wasn’t an issue. Everyone was treated as an equal and we just all shared a passion for the subject.” Now at 16, Sam is on his way to completing his Level 3 Music qualification and is focused on his work with State of Mind.
The band released their debut single, ‘Buried Alive’ which has had international success and led to them being invited to support Nervus, Itoldyouiwouldeatyou, and Karobela. The band’s style reminiscent of artists such as Dream State, Mallory Knox and Royal Blood and their thought-provoking lyrics and unique style has led to them being invited to play at various events and venues in Kent.
The band’s latest single, ‘One in the Same’ focuses on identity, self-expression, and the band's own transition into adulthood. Working with renowned local artist and designer Alex Nobel, the band has created a stunning music video that will premier at the POW! Festival later this year.
The band was recently featured on Arts Education Exchange, a platform for young creatives in Thanet. The initiative helps develop creative education and employment opportunities to inspire positive change in the Thanet community.
Alex Bowden, Music Lecturer, has worked with the various band members during their time at the College and is incredibly supportive of the band. Alex said, “Although the band wasn’t formed in College, we are incredibly proud of what they are achieving. It has been great to work with them on developing their skills and it is something we are passionate about in the department. If the students have areas, they want to explore that aren’t on the curriculum then we certainly make time for this. It is vital to their creative development and what College is all about.”
The band is now busy booking their next gigs for the summer, with the hope to eventually release an album of their songs.

3SC's Tare Oke (l) tries to beat Rangers Chukwu
By Olawale Ajimotokan
The uncertainty miring the kick off of the Nigeria Premier League (NPL) season, has been addressed by club owners, who at the body’s congress held Tuesday in Abuja, proposed February 16, 2013 as the date when league matches will begin across the nation.
The recommendation will, however, have to be ratified by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) which begins Wednesday in Port Harcourt.
If the proposal is endorsed by the NFF Congress, the draws and pre season activities for the 2012/13 season, will be held in Kano at a yet to be determined date.
More to follow…

Even though these feel fancy and special, they are very quick to make and pop into the oven at a moment’s notice. They are great alongside just about anything: soup, salad, bubbly, or on their own.

Curious about chia seeds? Don’t know where to begin? Megan Gordon develops a raw, vegan chia seed pudding recipe that capitalizes on its super food powers. And who doesn’t love cherry, pistachio, and coconut? This just might be your new late-night snack.
I made three types of ice cream and, no surprise to many vegans out there but sort of a surprise to me, they were all amazingly good, exceeding my expectations on every level. My ten-year old daughter Maddie even exclaimed about the chocolate version “This is better than store-bought ice cream! It’s my favorite!” I have to agree. My three flavors were almond, strawberry and chocolate. All are vegan. The first two were delightful but the chocolate was really special, and all are cholesterol and fat free.

Amazon’s Kindle e-books are outselling hardbacks for the first time in the company’s history, according to a second-quarter preview released Monday.
Amazon is pointing to a recent cut in the Kindle’s price as one possible reason for the surge in popularity. Last month, the device went from costing $259 to $189, a move made in response to the release of Apple’s iPad and Barnes & Noble’s Nook.
The online retailer reported Monday that for every 100 hardbacks sold in the last three months, there were 143 Kindle e-books sold.
Since the price of the Kindle dropped, e-book sales have picked up even more. During the last month, Amazon has sold 180 Kindle books for every 100 hardbacks.
“We’ve reached a tipping point with the new price of Kindle,” said Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
He said hardcover sales are growing, but the Kindle format just grows faster.
“Amazon.com customers now purchase more Kindle books than hardcover books–astonishing when you consider that we’ve been selling hardcover books for 15 years, and Kindle books for 33 months,” Bezos said.
Amazon reported that five authors have sold more than 500,000 Kindle books: Charlaine Harris, Stieg Larsson, Stephenie Meyer, James Patterson, and Nora Roberts.
Amazon will release its second-quarter earnings Thursday.

With the sale of our house pending, we may soon be moving into a much smaller space. Having two cats, my husband recommended shaving them or getting a FURminator.
Well I just got an Amazon rewards certificate in the mail today (for using my credit card), so I thought I'd use it to buy a FURminator before I come home to "naked" cats one of these days.
So has anyone ever used one of these things? I hope they work!

If you’re like me, you’re incredibly concerned for the future of our nation.
That’s how Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez begins his personalized “Dear John” letter introducing the Official 2019 Democratic Party Survey. I’m not a card-carrying party member but my father John Sr. was — the Survey form even includes his DNC membership number in the upper left corner — and I still get mail meant for him even though he passed away nearly five years ago.
If you’re like me — pulling the empathy string; incredibly concerned — heightening the affect; our nation — invoking tribal identification and ownership. The future — not the present, which is already a source of concern; not the past, as in “make America great again.” The future is, presumably, a code word for progressive.
I’m not accustomed to posting on political topics here on Ficticities. But the future is fictional, a temporal vector that exists only in the imagination. Not just thinking about, worrying about, and predicting the future but actively attempting to shape an alternative future according to policy specifications — that’s a kind of Ficticity, the attempt to craft a future ecosystem whose reality depends not solely on material conditions and forces but also on collective imagining. So I’m curious about the contours of this ficticitous future that’s purportedly being shaped by DNC operatives and Party members.
The Survey consists of ten structured questionnaire items, followed by a short free-form space in which you, the respondent, are invited to share your ideas on how the DNC and Democratic candidates can win in future elections. The survey wraps up with an appeal for financial contribution — A gift of $25 would be a tremendous help!.
But back to the top. What sorts of future-oriented question are posed in this survey? Most interestingly to me, do the questions reflect the futuristic concerns and plans animating the progressive wing of the Party? I used to write questionnaires for a living so I know that, by posing questions about certain topics while simply ignoring other topics, a survey can bias the results even without cheating on data collection and analysis. Each question in the Party Survey follows a similar format: Which of the following items is most important to you, do you find most troubling, etc.? Respondents have about 10 options for each question to choose from, with the opportunity to check up to 3 or 4 options for each question. So the general impression is that it’s a fairly comprehensive and open-ended instrument for polling the Party membership. But I’m particularly interested in options that aren’t included in the checklists — options that are either ignored or suppressed in an attempt to mold the Party platform.
First question: Which domestic issues are most important to you? Okay, without looking at the options, what are the domestic issues of particular importance to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party? Here are a few off the top of my head:
- Achieve universal healthcare via Medicare for all or some other single-payer system.
- Reduce climate change via rapid transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
- Reduce economic stratification and increase equality by raising taxes on the ultra-high income brackets and/or on the ultra-wealthy.
- Reduce discrimination based on race, gender, and sexual orientation.
- Open borders for immigrants.
- Make college education free.
- Establish guaranteed universal income.
No doubt there are more progressive planks, but that ought to do for present purposes. Also, these seven issues are merely progressive, modifying the status quo incrementally. They’re not radical agenda items in the sense of overhauling the political or economic system, not full-on socialistic or communistic or direct-democracy anarchistic.
Now let’s look at the actual response options listed in that first survey question about domestic issues. How well do the options address my sample menu of seven left-wing concerns?
Universal healthcare and single-payer. There are two relevant Survey response options. The first, Securing universal health care and reducing prescription drug costs, goes partway, but it stops short of the single-payer idea. Universal healthcare could be achieved via patchwork changes in the status quo combination of private sector employer-financed insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and out-of-pocket. It could be argued that universal health care is a concern whereas single-payer is a specific policy intervention for addressing that concern. Maybe so, but reducing prescription drug costs is a specific intervention, and it’s bundled into the Survey response. The second Survey response relevant to universal healthcare, Protecting Medicare from privatization, again reinforces the status quo rather than calling for systemic redesign.
Climate change. Relevant Survey response option: Combating climate change, building a clean energy economy, and securing environmental justice. Okay, that’s pretty good, though something like “averting imminent climate change disaster” might be more reflective of being incredibly concerned for the future. What about building a clean energy economy: does that mean creating government jobs in wind and solar, or extending subsidies and low-cost government loans to for-profit energy companies? Probably the latter. And what is environmental justice?
Redistribute wealth. The Survey item says Raising wages and restoring economic opportunity for the middle class. That’s not a progressive position.
Equal opportunity. Guaranteeing lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights is okay. No mention is made of women or race.
Open borders. The offered response — Fixing our broken immigration system and ensuring families aren’t separated at the border — is decidedly middle-of-the-road.
Free college education. Relevant Survey item: making debt-free college a reality. It’s gesturing in the right direction, though debt-free isn’t the same thing as free-free
Guaranteed universal income. This is an issue that’s not addressed in the Survey responses.
What other issues are addressed in the Survey response options? Voting rights, gun laws, reproductive rights, Social Security, public schools, criminal justice and incarceration — mostly these are calls for securing prior gains while extending them incrementally. To be fair, there is room at the bottom called Other, which is fill-in-the-blank rather than checkbox. But the blank space is big enough to write in maybe half a dozen words.
I’ll not continue with the rest of the Survey questions and response items. The general tenor is clear: the Democratic Party road to the future will be built largely from middle-of-the-road planks, with limited gestures directed toward the left wing. I wish I’d kept last year’s Survey so I could compare response options to see if there’s been any discernible leftward tilt. My recollection though is that the 2018 Survey was pretty similar to the 2019 edition.
Clearly the DMC’s main agenda is getting Democratic candidates elected. The 2018 elections saw a swing to a Democratic majority in the House. While some progressives won, they did so in districts that were already strongly progressive; for the most part the shift in balance of power was achieved through nominating and electing moderates. Trump’s popularity remains strong among his core constituents, but it has declined across the board since he took office. For the most part Trump won by taking states that nearly always vote Republican in presidential elections, while taking enough swing states — WI, MI, PA — to achieve Electoral College majority. Given Trump’s declining popularity, the DNC probably figures that it can recapture those key swing states, plus a few more, merely by riding along with popular disenchantment with Trump and his cronies. There’s no need to champion a radically more progressive agenda when the moderate platform is likely to turn the trick. Trot out a few media-savvy and attractive progressives who can placate the left wing of the Party, keeping them from splintering off into third-party territory. Find at least one presidential candidate who conveys a modicum of charismatic appeal. But the Party’s tacit expectation is that the future is going to look a lot like the present and the past. Based on recent trends it’ll likely be the Dems’ turn next time around. Play it safe, hit the swing states with moderation, and start planning the inaugural gala.

I recently shared my thoughts on why CEOs need to embrace social media.
The post was inspired by a study on the social media habits of Fortune 500 CEOs, which showed an alarming absence of these powerful executives on the most popular social networks.
Today CEO.com released the findings of a follow up study that compares the social media habits of Inc. 500 CEOs against the Fortune 500 CEOs.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the CEOs of the smaller, fast-growth companies have a stronger social media presence than the leaders of the older, slower-growth companies, but the gap is, frankly, quite shocking.
CEO.com’s study revealed that Inc. 500 CEOs are 13 times more likely to be active on Twitter, 5.3 times more likely to be on Facebook, and three times more likely to be on LinkedIn than CEOs of America’s largest companies. That’s a huge disparity.
We could chalk it up to Fortune 500 CEOs being averse to change – the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset. But by not having a social media presence, these giants are handicapping themselves when it comes to agility and growth.
There are other lessons that go beyond social media that big-company CEOs can learn from smaller company CEOs. One lesson, in particular, is staying connected to the front lines of your business.
The Value of Staying Connected
When your company grows to a size where employees are in different buildings, states or countries it’s natural for a CEO to turn to the next person in the chain of command to find out what’s going on. Executive committees become the messengers for the state of the business.
While this might seem like a great strategy for efficiency, it’s also the quickest path to becoming dangerously out of touch. By the time information gets to you, it has been through so many hands that it looks nothing like what you would have found if you went right to the source.
Why does this happen? In many cases, well-intentioned managers think they are doing you a favor by sanitizing and editing the information so it’s digestible. Sure, this is often helpful – but if it’s done too much, you’re probably not getting a very accurate read on your business.
I’ve also found that information gets presented in a way that paints the picture others think you want to see. As a result, you end up missing key details and insights from the real data that help you make better decisions. You also are in danger of missing important signals such as the ones that indicate if you might be losing a customer or missing a new opportunity.
Whether your company is 20,000 people strong or 200, you need stay communicating with the front lines. The person with the best information is not always going to be the one with the VP title. It might be that quiet developer in the corner who has some great ideas on how to improve your product—yet her opinion or ideas never get out of her department because her managers are focused on getting the next release out the door.
This is one reason why I also find social media so valuable. It’s the quickest distance between two points. However, as most leaders will agree, not all information is meant for sharing in public forums, so you have to go out and find it.
When I was at Omniture, we had a product guy named Brian Thaut. Brian knew more about our product than just about anyone else in the business. He didn’t have a fancy title, but he had product insights that were priceless in terms of understanding how we could better serve our customers and continue to add value to the experience we were delivering.
I knew when I talked to Brian I would get the unvarnished truth about how our product was performing, which gave me the insights to understand what new opportunities we had to grow.
At Domo, I’ve made it a point to seek out people across the company who, like Brian Thaut, have unmatched insights about different areas of the business. A great example of one of these people is one of Domo’s customer success managers, Kate Barlow.
Each day she has conversations with customers, and every night she sends out a recap of the conversations from that day. I’ve made it a point to make sure I’m included on her FIRST distribution of reports. Her reports are raw notes sent in email. They haven’t been condensed into an executive brief and they are often rife with typos. And that’s perfectly okay with me.
The reports are full of real details on what customers are saying, where they have pain points and how they are using our product. I love having this information unfiltered and in real-time instead of waiting for a version that’s been cleaned up by someone else for my consumption. I devour the subtle details that might be edited out in a “final” report.
The data gives me food for thought on product development and partnership ideas. It also signals where we should invest in the business. But most importantly, these real-time notes let me know if we are making customers happy and giving them the value we promise.
In a sense, these reports are more important to me than any quantitative metrics because they provide the real color and insight that help me make more strategic decisions.
Domo is still a startup, so it’s pretty easy for me to find key people from the front lines like Kate. When we get to be a billion-dollar business, I’ll still want connections with people just like her.
To a certain extent, all big-company CEOs live in an ivory tower. But today’s leaders need to climb back into the trenches and communicate directly with their troops. You need to find your Brian Thauts and Kate Barlows wherever they live in your organization so you get a real read on your business. If you become comfortable with information that’s been manipulated to look good for your benefit, you are putting yourself and your company at a serious disadvantage.
Which brings me back to social media. Never, in the history of business, has it been easier to connect with your customers and employees to understand what they are truly thinking. Social media is another channel to get intelligence from the front lines. CEOs who embrace it will be the ones who create the most value and lead their companies to even greater heights. In that respect, the fortunes of business will favor corporate leaders who follow in the footsteps of small, fast-growth company CEOs.

I'm reading Sarah Dessen " that summer" which was her first novel? and published in 1996. (it was later made into a movie with Mandy Moore)
And on page one she mentions Barry Manilow! An author after my own heart! I'm going to do that too. I'm going to mention Barry Manilow in every book I write. ha! Kind of like Alfred Hitchcock giving himself a cameo in every movie. I'm sorry but the hair in the photo below does not look real. Does it?

Budo is not a thing for show. Budo is a matter of life or death. So what is there to show?
Kinjo Asoh Sensei
The martial arts are not theatre or entertainment. That is not the true Budo.
While I can see this side of the argument - that guns for instance aren't toys in the sense that you'd give them to your children, that you don't mess about applying full speed locks without any restraint and expect things to turn out just fine. Nonetheless I must say that nations show off their armed forces all the time. Even animals do it as a threat display.
The social display and management of force seems to be one of the more sensible things that people do. It discourages more serious, physical, violence because you can make a guess that you wouldn't win easily without actually fighting and risking death or serious injury. There's a trust aspect to it as well, within the community. When you show things off people get to see what sort of folks you are, they get some idea of how you relate to the rest of society. Certainly it reassures no-one in the community if martial artists are all a bunch of secretive people with steely gazes muttering about how what they do is a matter of life and death; that just makes us sound like some crazy cult. It's not a whole lot of fun either.
My take on it: Take joy in what you do and share it with people honestly. Politically, it reassures them. Spiritually, happiness and trust tend to resonate among social networks.
Is it necessary? Well, you can get by without doing it. But it does have a whole host of potential benefits.

Mylo has been doing great! He gets to go out on pasture with friends and gets pampered a little more over there. He is definitely not complaining about all the pamper, that is for sure! I mostly just get him in the arena and play around with him doing tricks and such but have also started free 'lunging' him, especially on the days that the weather isn't nice enough for them to get out on pasture. I have only done it a few times but he isn't half bad considering his lack of training in that area! My favorite thing about it is that he has really learned the word 'whoa' and stops immediately. He has also been learning how to cross tie like a big boy. It has been very uneventful besides him doing impatient pawing every now and again. He also got his first blanket and let me tell you, it is adorable! I love this baby boy, he is so much fun! Cant wait to see this boy with a kid on his back :)
|Does it get much cuter than a tiny pony sporting this outfit?!|
Sunday a friend and took our boys to the extreme indoor trail course in Eugene. We had thought about taking both our big boys and our babies but decided we would both rather just take our riding horses. I really don't think that Mylo would have 'issues' there so I am not overly concerned with getting him out. Although it would be fun! Mystic was great, for the most part, and we had a blast! We ended up doing all of the obstacles except we only did one of them the easy way (moving suspension bridge that we only did over the short side not the whole length). Last year he had a weird issue with the water there (which he doesn't normally have an issue with water) and he tried to continue that this weekend. I sacrificed my cold feet and got him in and then he proceeded to want to take me in the water every chance after that! After taking him through/over everything with his bridle we then went and did everything bridleless. He was very responsive and really had to think about where to put his feet/body without me there balancing him and I had to trust that he wouldn't take my leg off on a log ;) We did the waters, a teeter totter, moving bridge, big platforms, narrow bridges over water, navigated over logs/rocks on skinny trails, and went in dug out ditches. We wouldn't win any competitions for this but he does pretty good and controlled his inner 'chicken' side!
Here is a sad cell phone video, but it video evidence of our bridleless skills:

I went out CLR to BBD and felt better. My legs were strong and I pushed it. Car on shoulder on SR56. It moved a couple feet over when it saw me approaching. I still had to ride in the car lane. MPII blocking bike lane on CLR to clean sidewalks?
My head still hurts but I am glad that I rode.
11 miles 14.8 mph
Tired and lazy. I didn't ride but I did go swimming with Andy.
79° 77% humidity wind 3 WSW
Went out CLR to BBD. I was at 14mph by the time I hit BBD. Rode hard. Wind was not a factor. Flirted with 15.1 mph
Bum did not bother me.
11 miles 15.07 mph
81° humidity 79% wind 5-8mph
Didn't feel like riding and the wind hit me right away. I went out to BBD. I only got up to 14.8 mph and lost much of when I hit Beardsley. Legs felt weak.
11 miles 14.3 mph
I had some computer woes. iTunes wouldn't work and we rely on it for downloads and syncing for all of our devices. I thought I found the fix but the fix wouldn't work. I spent my morning trying and failing to fix it.
I tried another solution for the continued computer woes. It worked but I was "late" and decided not to ride. I think I need to get up at 5 on Saturdays.
Another sad week of biking. Only three rides.
This week: 30.2 miles
This year: 1176 miles

Colo. Lawmakers Will Discuss Future of Infidelity Law
DENVER(AP)- Colorado House members will discuss a controversial law in place regarding infidelity. Although the law isn't enforced, lawmakers will consider taking the crime off the books in a Thursday committee hearing. Previous attempts failed amid concerns the change would send the wrong message and promote cheating.

Ease Your Mind When Funeral Planning
There are many responsibilities that must be taken care of immediately when a person passes away. These tasks usually fall to family members. It can be difficult to make informed decisions when you are also grieving. When you find a good funeral home to handle the affairs, the stress can be eased. This includes finding someone that is concerned about the family’s wishes, offers fair pricing, and offers viable choices.
Choices and Pricing
You may not be able to afford everything you want when a loved one passes away. Sometimes there is not enough money to cover an elaborate affair. This is especially true when things happen suddenly. Trusted funeral directors in Broxbourne can help ease your mind. You should be offered choices that fit within your budget. This is not the time for a company to be overpricing items. A good funeral home shows concern about the family’s grief and burial wishes. Look for these attributes.
- Comparable pricing
- Budget friendly options
- Concerned staff members
You may be overwhelmed when you have to plan services and burial or cremation. A director should be able to take over a portion of this for you. There may be packages to choose from where several things are included for the service. One option may be a graveside gathering for close family. The details may be too much to handle when you are still in shock. The planning can be done for you in many cases. You simply provide some detailed information about the individual and the type of service you prefer. Flowers, food, and music may be things a director can help with.
A funeral is often more complicated to plan than most people think. There are many details that go into even a short service. A good funeral home shows concern, works within your budget, and makes you feel at ease.

You’d really have to live under a sizeable rock not to at least know a little about the hype surrounding Korean skincare in the past few years. Whether you’re a complete newbie to Korean skincare, or whether you’ve been practising your 10-step regime religiously in the hopes of achieving Song Hye Kyo standards, have you really stopped to wonder what exactly are those steps for?
Most of them are pretty straightforward, like cleanser, toner, moisturiser, and so on. We get what those do. But what on earth are these “essences” that have become the cornerstone of Korean skincare? What do they contain, and why are they so important? We did the research and here’s what we found.
The 10-step Korean skincare regime
Just so everyone starts off on equal footing, we’re going to give a brief run-down on what the 10-step Korean skincare regime is.
- Oil cleanser: Removes make-up and facial sebum
- Foam cleanser: Removes other impurities, like the remnants of sweat on your skin, or dirt
- Exfoliator: Unclogs your pores and takes off the layer of dead skin cells
- Toner: Mildly cleanses the skin and lightly hydrates it so other products can be absorbed better
- Essence: Treatment
- Serum, boosters, ampoules: Treatment (optional)
- Mask: Usually done twice a week, and dependent on individual skin concerns
- Eye Cream: For undereye concerns
- Face cream/Moisturiser: Seals in the moisture
- Sun screen: Protects against sun damage
Everything else is pretty straightforward – except the most important step that most people swear by. What exactly is an essence?!
So, what are they?!
Essences typically contain highly concentrated active ingredients that should be gently patted on to your skin with your hands, moving up the face. They deliver a charge of compounds directly into your skin layer to help with anti-ageing concerns.
Even if you don’t have mature skin, the hydrating effect of essences will also boost the plumpness of your skin and make you look more youthful.
Many essences contain fermentation filtrates, and a clinical study has shown that these rejuvenate the skin.
It’s not a toner
Toners are almost water-like in texture, and most essences tend to be thicker. Anyway, the functions of the two are completely different. Toners generally don’t contain much active ingredients to help with skin regeneration, while essences do.
It’s not a serum/booster/ampoule
There are many schools of thought around this area. Essences are harder to tell apart from serums, boosters and ampoules, because they both contain high concentrations of active ingredients. Even in texture, they might appear to be the same.
Lim Li Hua, Assistant Marketing & PR Manager of The Face Shop Singapore, explains “Essences and serums both provide targeted treatment, but serums have more concentrated ingredients for more intensive treatment.”
It’s not to be confused with pre- or post-essences
With improving cosmetic technology, there are now pre- and post-essences on the market, which claim to prep your skin even further so that it would be in the optimum condition to absorb all the goodness from your essences.
Ms Lim explains, “Some essences, like Su:m37 Secret Essence, can be absorbed quickly and deeply into the skin because of the natural fermentation processes it is manufactured by, so post-essences can work its goodness on the skin without feeling ‘sticky’.”
It’s not just one step!
Yes, there can be a first and a second essence in your skincare regime now, so your routine might actually go far beyond just 10 steps.
What is the point of a second essence? Ms Lim says that a first essence should strengthen the skin and improves its vitality, while the second essence should target specific concerns such as anti-ageing, whitening, and so on. The Su:m37 Secret Essence that was recommended by Ms Lim is an example of a good first essence.
Where should I start?
There are so many essences in the market now that it can be intimidating to begin. We list down a few for you to consider for your next beauty spree.
1. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
This is probably the most famous essence of all. Hailing from Japan, SK-II has built their empire around this star product which has been raved about for more than a decade. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence contains Pitera, which is their main active ingredient that prevents skin ageing. You can read about our editor’s review here.
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (75ml) retails at SGD 99 at SK-II counters, Sephora stores and Sephora online.
2. Su:m37 Secret Essence
Su:m37 is the beauty secret that you haven’t heard about yet. Their best-selling product is the Secret Essence, which has been raved about by many beauty bloggers for its quick and visible effects on the skin. Every bottle is manufactured in their Natural Fermentation Research Institute in Gangwon-do, and they include a long list of more than 80 different plant extracts that are fermented under stringent conditions.
Their star compound is named “cytosis”, which utilises micro-organisms to produce, distribute and convert their active ingredients into by-products that will enhance the natural healing power of the human skin.
Good news! Su:m37 is opening their doors in Singapore for the first time ever. The full range of products will be available at Tangs VivoCity from 1 June onwards, and at Tangs Orchard from 21 July onwards.
Su:m37 Secret Essence retails at SGD 108 for 80ml, and SGD 175 for 150 ml.
3. Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence
Missha has been a staple in Korean skincare brands for a very long time. Don’t let the affordable price of the Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence fool you into thinking it wouldn’t be as effective as its more expensive counterparts – this product has received rave reviews for its effects in hydrating, improving fine lines and wrinkles, and diminishing redness. It utilises a fermentation filtrate from beer yeast for its skin regenerating effects.
4. COSRX Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence
This essence apparently utilises the Galactomyces fermentation filtrate which has been shown in a clinical study to be effective for skin regeneration and improving the skin barrier. They even use a highly concentrated amount of the fermentation filtrate, at 95%.
Despite its oh so affordable price, the COSRX Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence has been getting good reviews and ratings online by users, so it’s definitely worth a shot if you’re a beginner in using essences! Don’t worry, despite the product name, it’s going to brighten your skin, rather than bleach.

The tube itself intrigued me -- how could enough power be contained within its skinnier-than-skinny square silhouette? Thankfully I got my answer with only a few swipes per eye -- and only a single coat! This baby lengthened my lashes to no end, making them look ... dare I say it ... fabulous. They immediately looked thicker, and the shade seemed to complement the natural tone and texture of my lashes quite well.
But the real test? Wearing it in a sudden rainstorm, in which I was caught with no umbrella on my way to meet the girls for drinks! And, yes, after a quick trip to the ladies' room, I was pleased to discover that it stayed put, continuing to enhance my lashes and make me want to bat my eyes all night long.
The final test came when I was too tired and lazy to remove my makeup before bed. (Yes, I know this is a major faux pas!) Imagine my delighted shock and surprise when it was still in place the next morning! Truly unbelievable.
Lancome Definicils High Definition Mascara retails for $27.50 at sephora.com.

Here are some pics of our first for realsies (i.e. get on a plane and go someplace together) vacation. There is no real reason why we haven’t done this in the past – we just haven’t. Dave travels relentlessly for work, so we tend to do the same things year after year. We take the kids camping almost every weekend in the summer, go to the lake for a week in the summer and then Dave and I take an adult weekend vacation in the spring (maybe) and then a Denver football game in the fall.
This year has been far from normal. We haven’t taken our camper out yet. can you hear my heart breaking? And we went to Denver instead of the lake over Fourth and our fall football game is a no-go. With routine thrown out…..this for realsies vacation with the kids was such a treat.
Although the ‘getting there’ portion was not a treat. Janey started complaining of an upset stomach, I didn’t think much of it as Janey frequently has aches and pains that she uses for hugs, kisses and carrys. It wasn’t until her face drained of all color that we panicked. I was sitting with Janey 2 rows behind Dave and Jules when the puking started. And it WAS.HORRIBLE. Dave couldn’t hear me trying to get his attention….so the mom sitting in front of me had to grab his arm and state in no uncertain terms “Your wife NEEDS you”. A few hours of pukey-ness down and then a few hours of sleep put Jane right again. Seeing her the next day, you wouldn’t even know she had been that ill.
The first time they put their feet in the ocean:
Exploring a lava tube
Perspective on the plant life
A pool heated by the lava activity underneath and fed by the ocean
Turtles on the black sand beach
I took a short, dark video of what it sounds like at night.
Hilo is the largest town on the Big Island, but I would not classify it as a tourist town. I enjoyed it immensely. We wandered all over the island (nothing is very far away) and the kids had a blast seeing all the sights that we fit in. We were careful not to over-schedule ourselves so we were able to see what we wanted and even go back to the kids favorite activity….the hot pool.
Here is a brief look at where we went:
If you follow me on Instagram, you already know of my graceful accident. During the last hour on the island, I broke myself. Oops! That flight home wasn’t amazing.

One of my favorite stores in New York just happens to be in Sullivan County, in the perfectly sleepy town of Narrowburg, which is right on the Delaware River. Nest is owned by Anna Bern, a former art director who used to work at W and Vogue, and now lives full-time in Sullivan County. Lucky for us! She provides us with a fun place to drop into when we've been housebound for too long. Her taste is impeccable--from her housewares and kids clothes, to the jewelry and leather goods she brings back from Brazil. Nothing feels out of place and too international for the small town shop though--she has just the right edit. And across the street, go to the lookout point, and point the telescope into the trees. You'll probably see an eagle or two.

One in 10 female students at the University of Oregon say they have been raped in college, The Oregonian reports. That is just one statistic from a new study conducted by a psychology professor at the university. Among the other findings, drawn from the preliminary results:
- Of the 982 respondents to a survey, 35 percent of the female students said they had had at least one sexual encounter without giving consent. Among men, that number was 14 percent.
- Among those who reported having nonconsensual sex, 73 percent said they knew the perpetrator.
- Just one in seven victims of rape said they had reported the crime to the university’s administration.

There are things you will have already heard about this book. You will have heard—because who does such a thing?! oh my! oh scandal!—that Patrick Rothfuss prefaces The Slow Regard of Silent Things (DAW, 2014) by telling you that you probably aren’t going to like it, that you should probably go read something else. You will have heard that it isn’t the third Kingkiller/Kvothe book for which you have been waiting so patiently for so long. You may have even heard that this book is a little weird.
But there are things you probably haven’t heard—because no one seems to be saying them (yet) (on the sites I read). So here we are. Even though this is a book blog that aims to put the spotlight on women and PoC and diversity in authors and books, and reviewing Patrick Rothfuss, a best seller and a white hetero dude, doesn’t really play into that. But you know what? This book needs a Feminist Geek Review. Because it’s beautiful and I loved it, but fucking hell, Pat, issues.
Pass not this line, ye who fear spoilers
I need to pick apart the nitty gritty details of this book, and so I am going to need to talk about those details. Though, granted, nothing actually happens in Slow Regard (aaand there was your first spoiler), that will be essentially spoilerly. So get the hell out of here and come back when you’ve finished the book. You’ve been warned.
Though The Slow Regard of Silent Things felt shockingly small in my hands (I knew it was short, but was still surprised by just how small it was), there is a lot to love. This is Auri’s book (Auri being a mysterious, shy, twee woman who lives in the tunnels under the university that Kvothe attends in the Kingkiller books), and Rothfuss tells readers that if they want to learn more about her, this might be a story for them after all. I like Auri, and while I was disappointed at just how little we ultimately learn about her in Slow Regard (and some of what we learn), I enjoyed reading a story that focuses on her life.
Being Auri’s story, Slow Regard uses Auri’s language—a very different style to the language you will find in the Kingkiller books. The prose attempts to mirror the character herself. It is poetic, winding, pregnant with meaning, sometimes with magic. Sometimes the meaning is only hinted at, the rippling surface of water whose depth we can’t measure. It might be a puddle pretending to be something deeper, but maybe beneath those words lies a lake, deep and dark and wide and filled with unspeakable wonder. We’ll never know because Rothfuss ain’t telling. At least not in Slow Regard. Take this passage, for example:
“Opening her eyes, Auri saw a whisper of dim light. A rare thing, as she was tucked tidily away in Mantle, her privatest of places. It was a white day, then. A deep day. A finding day.”
I enjoyed the style. It was often beautiful, and it felt a proper mirror of this strange person, even when it made little sense (especially when it made little concrete sense). But it also tended to repetition and in my reading notes I scribbled: “I’m glad this isn’t longer.” Doing in the Wizard (who is doing very detailed posts about their reading experience and doesn’t seem to like this book or any of Rothfuss’ other work) has some very good points in favor of this sort of writing being a detriment rather than a boon to the story. From a style-mirrors-content perspective, however, it works.
Speaking of Doing in the Wizard, their post brings me to my first point of contention with this story, something that came to my attention through their comments. In one of Slow Regard‘s first scenes, Auri skinny dips in a murky pool, searching for objects at the bottom. Exhibit A: instead of describing Auri as “naked,” Rothfuss opts to use the word “nekkid.” Why? The word is a stumbling block. Why are we suddenly speaking in slang? Rothfuss usually isn’t one to go messing about with existing language like this, inventing where inventing would serve no purpose or offer no further beauty.
Exhibit B: The chapter goes on to describe Auri’s nudity as such: “There was nothing peppermint about the cold stone edge. It was a dull, blunt bite against her tender altogether hindmost self.” Every time that Rothfuss attempts to describe her nudity, he just can’t seem to do it with a straight face and straightforward words. “Hindmost self”? Just say that she’s naked, Rothfuss, my pod. While Doing in the Wizard interpreted this as bad writing, I had the feeling that Rothfuss was not comfortable with her nudity. Every time he was required to look at Auri’s naked body and describe it, he couldn’t. Instead he blushed, held his breath, looked away, and typed with eyes closed until it was over and she was dressed. He seemed incapable of describing her as the adult woman that she ostensibly is. Auri may be one of Rothfuss’ favorite characters, but is she a mystery still, even to him? Does he have a crush? Is he uncomfortable in a room with her? Is he as afraid as Kvothe of scaring her off? I’d put money on all of those horses.
When she is clothed, Rothfuss seems to feel more comfortable with Auri, describing the flow of her days in the tunnels of the Underthing (basically the service tunnels beneath the university where Kvothe is busy learning magic). She is compelled to set the world right in a way that sounds like an intense case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OR IS IT MAGIC?! One later moment in the story makes it unclear, though what I gather from interviews with Rothfuss on the subject, he means Auri to come across as a deeply broken soul.
Either way, the descriptions of her struggles with day-to-day functioning were one of the novella’s strongest points: they way the world shatters beneath her feet when something off kilter sets off her OCD and the way she feels compelled to find the perfect place for every object. Is Auri really capable of talking to objects? Of listening to what they say? Is she a master namer who has been driven to the brink by her power? Or is this a pleasant way of thinking (hoping) about an unpleasant mental condition? Rothfuss never tells us, and the text supports both readings.
Outside of her OCD, Auri is motivated by only one thing: the impending implied arrival of Kvothe. This is Slow Regard‘s most blatant feminist fail. We finally get to learn more about this mysterious, magical person, and her entire life revolves around the white dudebro storyhero?!? AGAIN? I would love to argue that Rothfuss didn’t mean it, that he is a better feminist than that (and he is a good feminist in many ways, but hey, we’re all at different places in our journey on that road), but Kvothe’s presence in Auri’s story as motivation and savior is made pretty clear by the fact that her thoughts on his arrival take up the first five sentences and the beginning of almost every chapter thereafter.
“When Auri woke, she knew that she had seven days.
“Yes. She was quite sure of it. He would come for a visit on the seventh day.”
Can you hear my sighs across the internet? Can you see me putting my head in my hands? Rothfuss promises a story about Auri, and gives us a story about Kvothe: savior, motivator, shaper of poor, broken Auri’s life. Rothfuss was worried that readers would be disappointed by Slow Regard because “It doesn’t do a lot of the things a classic story is supposed to do.” He shouldn’t have worried about that. He should have worried about portraying the life of a female character, in the frame of her own story, as being driven by the male character who this book wasn’t even supposed to be about. I love this book, but this is a serious fucking problem.
How much better would it have been to show a woman—yes a broken, struggling-to-survive woman, you don’t have to remove those aspects to make her strong, to remove the strings that attach her to Kvothe on every page—who was getting through shit, not on her own because interdependence doesn’t have to be a bad thing, but not just because savior dude has come into her life. How much better would it have been, from a feminist perspective, to see what Auri’s world without Kvothe is like? How much would I have liked to read a story about her life before the tunnels, or her life when she first moved into them? It wouldn’t have included Kvothe, it wouldn’t have made Auri feel like a damsel in distress, and it would have shown us a hell of a lot more back story than Slow Regard gives us. I mourn the death of the possibility of that story, and then I think: maybe it isn’t such a bad thing that Rothfuss has still left so much of her back story out. To the fan fiction mines! This can all be so easily corrected.
Next serious fucking problem: one of the few things we learn about Auri’s past is that she was probably raped. The event is barely mentioned, just a sentence, a memory of being held down and wine on a repulsive man’s breath, the classic “look this character was raped but I’m not going to come out and say it” signposts. This is the only thread we are given to explain her current state. This is a pretty old, tired trope, and here it feels like a cop out. Auri is weird, Auri is broken, Auri can’t function in society because…Auri was raped. This is such a over-used trope it has its own entry on tvtropes and is something that apparently needs to be discussed again and again. While I don’t feel that Rothfuss hints at it lightly or as “a cheap effect for drama,” I do feel like it was a decision he didn’t have to make. The man has invented a universe that has its own fucking currency, and he couldn’t come up with a less tired back story? He has already proven that his imagination is capable of better. Can you hear my echoing sighs? CAN YOU?!
You know what else? Auri eats acorns without processing them. This is barely notable in comparison to my last two points, but I just…how can Patrick Rothfuss be one of those people (or all the dozens of beta readers he says he uses, or his editor and proofreader and copy editor) who doesn’t know that you can’t eat fucking acorns without processing them?! (Sorry, incoming reviewer pet peeve.) They are full of this bitter shit called tannins, and you need to leech them first, else risk limited ability to absorb nutrients, for one. The man describes the process of making soap in pages of detail, and then he feeds Auri unprocessed acorns. Geezus fucking fuck. Don’t do this to me, Rothfuss, just don’t.
So, you ask, how is it that I still think fondly of this story, a story that fucks up pretty badly more times than it should? For one, the tunnels. I have this thing about tunnels. First there was Neverwhere (Gaiman) and then there was every book ever written about real people living in the real tunnels beneath the skin of every modern city. I love that shit. It’s one of my things.
Second, the illustrations. Nate Taylor has provided wonderful illustrations for Slow Regard, and when I heard another blogger speculate as to whether this story would have been more successful as a graphic novel, I had to wonder myself. But though many might celebrate the loss of prose this might entail, I would mourn its absence.
Third, and most importantly, is Auri herself. Even a problematic telling of her story can’t make Auri any less magnetic as a character. If Rothfuss is capable of inventing a character like her, he must be capable of telling her story…though apparently not today.
In lieu of my usual nonsensical numbered rating, I offer you this parting question: WHAT THE FUCK IS A FOXEN?
Where I got it: Hugendubel, Frankfurt
I want to talk about this book with all the people. So I’m including a link up here for you to add your own reviews of this book (an any you have read and found interesting). I’ll be adding the reviews I have read as I come across them. For a slip of a book, there is a lot to discuss.

Make sure your kitchen isn't missing a butcher blade, because next fall The Shape returns to theaters, and he won't be alone, as it was recently announced that Jamie Lee Curtis will reprise her role as Laurie Strode for one last showdown with her murderous brother, Michael Myers. While anticipation ramps up for next year's Halloween even as we get closer to this year's Halloween, director David Gordon Green revealed in a recent interview when filming on the new Halloween film is expected to begin and where it will take place.
"We start shooting in six weeks in Charleston. I can’t say too much more as we are trying to keep things tight right now, but we are doing something unique. John Carpenter is involved as well, which is like a dream to me."
Since this interview was originally published on September 22nd, Gordon's comments would place the start of filming in early November in the South Carolina city. Although Curtis is confirmed to come back to play Laurie Strode, it's not yet known if the new movie will take place in Haddonfield, the faux Midwestern town that his home to the Myers house and Michael's blood-stained legacy.
In mid-September, Universal Pictures announced an October 19th, 2018 release for the new Halloween movie, and their press release states that "David Gordon Green and Danny McBride crafted a story that carves a new path from the events in the landmark 1978 film," indicating that the new film will likely follow and reference John Carpenter's Halloween, but will take place in a timeline in which the events of Halloween II and the other sequels in the franchise (including H20 and Resurrection, which both featured Laurie Strode) never occurred.
This will mark the fifth film in which Jamie Lee Curtis will play Laurie Strode, having appeared as the iconic character in Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, and Halloween: Resurrection. In her latest appearance as Laurie in 2002, Curtis was apparently killed by Michael Myers at a sanitarium where she was a patient following her actions at the end of H20.
We'll have to wait to see just exactly what version of Laurie Strode we'll see on the big screen. The brief plot synopsis below teases "her final confrontation with Michael Myers" in the new Halloween film, which will be executive produced by John Carpenter (who might also work on the score, although that has yet to be confirmed).
Are you excited to see Laurie Strode go up against Michael Myers nearly 40 years since their first cinematic showdown? What are your hopes for how the Halloween franchise timeline is handled by the new film? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates as they are revealed.
"Universal Pictures will release Trancas International Films, Blumhouse Productions and Miramax’s HALLOWEEN on Friday, October 19, 2018.
Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.
Master of horror John Carpenter will executive produce and serve as creative consultant on this film, joining forces with cinema’s current leading producer of horror, Jason Blum (Get Out, Split, The Purge, Paranormal Activity). Inspired by Carpenter’s classic, filmmakers David Gordon Green and Danny McBride crafted a story that carves a new path from the events in the landmark 1978 film, and Green also directs.
HALLOWEEN will be produced by Malek Akkad, whose Trancas International Films has produced the HALLOWEEN series since its inception. Green and McBride will executive produce under their Rough House Pictures banner.
HALLOWEEN will be distributed worldwide by Universal Pictures."

Real Madrid remained three points clear of FC Barcelona at the top of the La Liga following a weekend in which the case for those complaining the Spanish fooball league is a two horse race became even stronger.
Real Madrid's 3-2 win away on Sunday night to Valencia, who kicked off the round of matches third in the league table, takes Madrid eight points clear of Valencia, who are generally considered to be the strongest side after Real Madrid and Barcelona, Xinhua reported.
Jose Mourinho's side got off to a flying start and Karim Benzema put them ahead after 19 minutes. Madrid doubled their lead after 71 minutes when Sergio Ramos scored a header.
Roberto Soldado got Valencia back into the match 15 minutes from time as the former Madrid striker drove home from close range, however, an error from Valencia keeper Diego Alves allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to make it 3-1 to the visitors.
Soldado's second goal of the night eight minutes from time assured a tense finale, but Real Madrid held on to take all three points.
Barcelona had a comfortable 4-0 at home to relegation threatened Zaragoza. Gerard Pique, Leo Messi, Carles Puyol and David Villa all scored on a placid night for Barca, who have not lost all season.
Saturday night saw Villarreal win a dull game 1-0 at home to Betis. Borja Valero's smart chip over the keeper midway through the half was enough to ensure the win. Betis meanwhile have taken just one point from their last eight games and continue to drop down the table.
Sunday kicked off with Real Sociedad producing a dull 0-0 draw at home to Espanyol in the Anoeta Stadium, the result leaves the Basque side in the relegation zone after they missed several chances to claim an important win.
Osasuna and Rayo Vallaecano also failed to produce a single goal in the 90 minutes disputed in Osasuna's el Sadar Stadium, while Nacho Novo scored a dramatic 89th minute goal to give Sporting Gijon a 2-1 home with against Getafe.
Miku had put Getafe ahead, before Oscar Trejo equalized for the Asturians. Getafe then had Abdel Barrada sent off by referee Turienzo Alvarez, who showed a total of 11 yellow and one red card during the 96 minutes that the game lasted.
Athletic Bilbao continue to improve. Marcelo Bielsa's side won 2-1 away to Sevilla thanks to goals from Andoni Iriola and Oscar de Marcos. Athletic have now gone 11 games unbeaten.
One interesting detail from the game is that Jonas Ramalho came on for Athletic as a late substitute becoming the first black player to represent the club that has a policy of playing only footballers born or raised as footballers in the Basque country in the north of Spain.
Atletico Madrid meanwhile prepared for next weekend's derby against Real Madrid with a 3-2 win over Levante. Pizzi, Adrian Lopez and Diego all scored for Atletico, while Levante have not lost their last three matches.

We conducted an Ultimate Taste Test Auditions last August 17 and 18 at Todd English Food Hall.
Only the best ones that passed the Judges criteria gets to move on to the Ultimate Taste Test Event on September 2-3, 2017.
We curated a total of 30 vendors that will be featured and compete in the Ultimate Taste Test Pro Edition!
Here is the complete list of Ultimate Taste Test 2017 Food Entrepreneurs so that you can plan your food taste strategy:
We have more savory items this year and may be best enjoyed with San Miguel Lifestyle Brews Beer Pairing.
• San Miguel Premium All Malt is typically best paired with chicken and fish. It’s a good beer to start with as you go from smooth to dry to bold flavored beer.
• San Miguel Super Dry is usually best paired with pork and beef. Most beer connoisseurs like Super Dry because of the hoppy flavor and extra dry taste
• Cerveza Negra is typically paired with dessert specially with chocolate which pairs nicely with the caramel tones of the beer.
Rate the food immediately after tasting the ones that you like.
Your first impression is always correct. Make sure to rate the ones you love and support them to win in this year’s UTT.
5 – Awesome! I would recommend it!
4 – Love it!
3 – We had a good time
2 – It is OK
1 – Thanks, but it could be better
Pace yourself. You don’t need to rush and savor each bite. Go easy on the drinks and the dessert at the start.
Make sure to get only the ones you are interested in tasting. Best to get a taste test and eat it, before moving to the next one instead of hoarding all the food in your plate.
Remember, it’s not a buffet. The goal is to discover new food and taste new flavor and not to eat as many as you want.
Best to go with Friends & Family.
UTT is a great food trip bonding session with your family, friends, and special someone. Make sure to meet new ones during the event because we all share the same passion – FOOD!

I reckon the “Rapture” may have come in New Zealand on Sunday Night.
However, it proved to be another failure for Harold Camping who had predicted the end of the world by then. He said last September:
“The end is going to come very, very quietly probably within the next month. It will happen, that is, by October 21.”
Since then Camping has kept well clear of the press – although I get the impression that after three failed attempts at prediction there were very few reporters hanging around outside his door.
However, there is now a report that he has retired from this whole business. According to the Chrsitian News (see Harold Camping Exclusive: Family Radio Founder Retires; Doomsday ‘Prophet’ No Longer Able to Work):
“Harold Camping, who predicted Oct. 21 to be the day Christians would be caught up to heaven and that God would judge the world, said on Oct. 16 that he is no longer able to lead Family Radio Stations, Inc. or his ministry, and his wife has confirmed that the 90-year-old radio evangelist has retired, a documentarian close to Camping told The Christian Post in an exclusive interview.”
But what about this?
Apparently some preachers were upset that the world didn’t end last weeked. The newspaper reports “they were all disappointed that Christ did not come”
With friends like this!

But it is crucial that you also take time to just play and experiment and essential that you throw out all the rules.
The pieces on this page are an experimentation I am doing in layering wall images behind historic buildings. I have no idea where this is going yet. Until I decide its purpose and define its potential for being something totally new, I will continue experimenting.
How do you experiment with your art? Share below.

We've already editorialized about four of the six questions - all of them state constitutional amendments - that will be on the back side of your ballot this Election Day, Nov. 5. Here we address the other two, which have not been gotten much attention statewide.
Proposal 2 would give additional civil service credits to disabled veterans, which will help them get public-sector jobs after they return from the war zones where they've served our nation. Unemployment continues to be a problem for recently returned vets, and society owes these people a debt of gratitude. This amendment would fix a bureaucratic flaw that's been an unnecessary obstacle for some disabled vets.
As it is now, the state constitution gives a veteran 5 bonus points of civil service credit plus 2.5 points for a promotion. For a disabled veteran, it's 10 points plus 5 for a promotion. But what if a veteran applies for this credit and then is later certified as disabled - let's say for post-traumatic stress disorder, which is often diagnosed late? As it stands, that vet is locked in at the non-disabled credit, which isn't fair.
Vote yes to change that.
Proposal 3 would let local governments, such as villages and towns, continue to exclude sewer system rebuilding costs from the debt limits imposed on them by the state constitution. They've been doing so since 1962, and this proposition would extend that for another 10 years.
Sewer systems require a great deal of expensive repair and maintenance, especially since most of them are very old - often more than a century. The bottom line is this: Nobody wants them to fail. They keep our communities sanitary and keep our water bodies from being polluted. They are in the care of municipalities that have to upgrade them occasionally, and that's already hard enough. There's no good reason to make it harder by imposing a blind, one-size-fits-all regulation.
We'd be happy if voters could make this exemption permanent, but as it is, we encourage you to extend it for another decade by voting yes.
There seems to be little reason to oppose either of these. Indeed, for each of them, the League of Women Voters wrote in its Vote 411 Voter Guide, "The League of Women Voters of New York State could not identify any organizations or expressed opinions in opposition to this amendment."

What you get
- Downloadable PDFs of solo parts for all 5 Concert in the Garden titles: in C, Bb, Eb, and F
- Downloadable MP3s of all 5 compositions from Concert in the Garden mixed "without" the improvised solos
- Bonus downloadable MP3 of "Evanescence" (the title–not the whole recording) mixed without the solos
- Streamed interviews with musicians from the Maria Schneider Orchestra about their approach to playing these solos
- Transcriptions of Greg Gisbert's flügel solo on the "Rumba" and Donny McCaslin's GRAMMY-nominated solo on the "Solea"
About This Offer
With this fun offer, you’ll get to do something even my own musicians don’t get to do—solo on every single solo on every single piece. This offer includes all the tracks from Concert in the Garden: "Concert in the Garden","Choro Dançado","Pas de Deux","Dança Ilusória" and the solos from the Soleá and Rumba from "Bulería, Soleá y Rumba"). We've also given you the bonus of "Evanescence" which we re-recorded at that recording session.
After you make your purchase, you’ll get to download MP3s of the tracks (minus the solos of course), and then additionally download PDFs of the solo parts in all keys. Beyond that, when you visit your account, you can stream interviews with the soloists from my group about their approach to playing these improvised sections. You'll also find transcriptions in this offer of the two magnificent solos from the Bulerias...
The MP3s have been edited so that each cut starts just a couple of phrases before your solo, so that you can keep on looping back without waiting through long sections. Solos can be played on any instrument.
The sections included in this offer are the piano/accordion exchange on ‘Concert in the Garden,’ the tenor and piano (there’s a shadow of the piano solo—it’s short—and we couldn’t get rid of it entirely in the mix) on ‘Choro Dançado,’ the trumpet and soprano on ‘Pas de Deux,’ the piano and trombone on ‘Dança Ilusória,’ the tenor and fluegel on ‘Bulería, Soleá y Rumba,’ and lastly, we put on a bonus track of ‘Evanescence,’ the tenor and trumpet solos. All totaled, it’s about 40 minutes of solo space. Have fun!

Across a range of industries, chemicals and controlled substances are imported and exported on a daily bases. In fact, in most industrial production settings, you’d be hard-pressed to find a warehouse or facility not using these materials. The WHMIS is Canada’s “Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System,” and seeks to keep workers informed of the type of material and its associated risks in any container that enters the work space. In the U.S., the equivalent is the American Hazard Communication Standard, usually referred to as simply the HCS. Both systems fall roughly in line with the United Nations’ overarching Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (a mouthful that is thankfully pared down to just “GHS” in most contexts). Oddly enough, most of the information readily available, and the most-used acronym to denote such policies, is still the Canadian WHMIS. In this blog post, we’re going to go over aspects of the WHMIS in detail to help you understand how to best protect your employees.
WHMIS Basic Requirements and Goals
The main goal of any WHMIS system is to create a uniformed way of communicating hazardous materials and their risks. The original WHMIS requires that this be done in the following three ways by any employers who have hazardous chemicals or controlled substances imported into their business:
- Visual labeling on the containers themselves must indicate the class of material and its associated safety risks.
- Managers must possess data sheets for each shipment of materials which detail all inventory being received and their associated safety risks.
- Training to teach employees about the materials they will be working with is required in addition to any labeling and data sheets.
WHMIS and equivalent systems will break down various materials into their own classes. These classes are then associated with images, which are used in conjunction with text on barrels and other containers. In WHMIS, the classes are:
Class A: Compressed gases; any pressurized material must be labeled as such. Class A materials are at risk of puncturing if not handled with care.
- Class B: Flammable and combustible materials; chemicals and materials at high risk of catching fire must be labeled as Class B. This is one of the most common classes to see in chemical and production plants.
- Class C: Oxidizing materials; while oxidizing materials may not be considered combustible on their own, they too provide a fire hazard. Oxidizing materials can decompose quickly to yield oxygen, the main component in any fire. Because of this, oxidizing materials can prevent a fire risk even in areas where oxygen would usually be too low to support flames.
- Class D-1: Immediate toxic effects; any substance which can produce burns, unconsciousness, or other serious health effects within seconds, minutes, or hours are placed under the D-1 banner. These materials often also cause ongoing, long term health defects even after their initial symptoms have subsided.
- Class D-2: Materials with other toxic effects; the effects of D-2 substances may be less severe or last for a shorter time than their D-1 counterparts. That said, D-2 materials can still also possess long term carcinogenic (cancer-causing) effects.
- Class D-3: Biohazard & Infectious Materials; these items are usually comprised of bacteria or organisms that can causes illness and infection in humans and animals. Many of these materials come from medical waste.
- Class E: Corrosive Materials; any substance that can eat through human tissue (skin, eyes, other membranes) and cause chemical burns falls under class E. Corrosive materials are also fairly common across a variety of sectors.
- Class F: Dangerously Radioactive Materials; radioactive materials, namely those unstable and which can quickly change temperature, moisture content, and/or composition fall under this class.
It is important that you know that WHMIS standards generally only apply to materials produced for wholesale at the industry level. This means that if you use products already sold to the general public with their own labeling, you don’t need to label them again to comply with WHMIS standards. That said, if they are dangerous to employees in any way, as much should be made known via your training (or it may be a good idea to just make new and more prominent labels anyways). These labels can be printed using an industrial label maker. An example of this would be an LabelTac industrial label maker.
A Guide to OSHA Safety Signs
This Guide to OSHA Safety Signs walks you through the recent updates to OSHA and ANSI sign requirements. You’ll learn the required components of OSHA safety signs, including tips for formatting and posting your signs.
While the exact criteria varies between systems, most will require the same general information. First of all, the burden of the data sheets (DS) falls to the provider of the material, not to the manager or business receiving it. That said, managers should refuse any shipments with missing or incomplete data sheets. All hazardous ingredients should be listed in the DS so that all aspects are easily identified upon receipt. Next, the process through which the materials were prepared, and the parties or departments responsible for preparation should be denoted. Contact information for the supplier should also be provided, along with their name for that product and its intended uses. Physical data and description of the product should be included next, followed by any immediate risks (those from the “Classes” mentioned before). Reactivity and toxicological properties should be clearly stated on each DS. Any associated steps for preventing problems or injuries with the product, along with any first aid measures, should be included as well.
Training is generally restricted to the communication of the above information, with the intent of every employee becoming sufficiently knowledgeable about the materials he or she is working with. Using training DVD’s (like this hazard communication training DVD) Managers should focus on preventative and first aid procedures as they are likely to be the most relevant in your overall safety programs.

“… We would rather swim in the comfortable lukewarm bath of stupidity. It’s the democratic solution, if we are to believe Walter Pitkin, who puts the proportion of stupid people at 80 per cent of the population and, unhappily, goes on to point out that the 20 per cent who aren’t stupid stupidly underestimate the threat posed by the stupid majority. And here, perhaps, lies the root, and the irony, at the heart of so much of the nit-picking, niggling, you’ll-have-someone’s-eye-out-with-that legislation which in turn lies at the core of our current infantilisation….
“… those ones, all of them howling for new laws, for cracking down and stamping out and not putting up with, for sending harsh messages and putting a stop to and imposing standards on and curbing the selfish minority and why should decent people? and saving people from themselves …
“And the problem is that while their entire outlook upon the world (Jesus loves them; Jesus, too, regards the world with suspicion, intolerance and contempt) is based upon the founding notion that, if not all, at least 80 per cent of us are stupid, they fail to spot the fact that at least 80 per cent of them are stupid too. And therefore 80 per cent of their laws (proposed or enacted) are stupid, and their regulations and their plans and their consultancy documents and their best-practice scenarios and their compliance requirements and their key competencies.
“Eighty per cent of everything is stupid…*
“Which would be fine for toddlers, who haven’t been around that long and can’t be expected to talk sense; fine, too, for adolescents, who, for reasons of hormones and identity, inhabit a schizotypical universe of delusions, hallucinations and mad ineluctable yearnings. But it is not fine for grown-ups, and once we get our eye in, it’s a bit like coming out of one of those prolonged dissociative states and realising that we have been living a whole life we knew nothing of, and, what is worse, living it among mad people.”
Michael Bywater, Big Babies Or: Why Can’t We Just Grow Up? (London: Granta Books, 2006), pp. 145-46.
[* A gross under-estimate, in my view.]

Oh my god, Mindy, this is BRILLIANT.
OMG...and my girl crush just keeps growing and growing.
LOL Oh Mindy, that's some funny stuff. I don't know how you do that all with a straight face. I'd be laughing. And I was laughing.
Thanks Alex :) Amber - when you meet me in real life you're going to be SO disappointed! I'm incredibly boring.
Ungrateful kid!Threaten to dog-ear his pages if he doesn't shape up.BTW, Your Indi nod was stellar.

On the way home from the market this morning (in Ajijic, Mexico), I passed by this window full of tiny Mexican dollhouse furniture. The store was closed but if I pass it again when it's open, I'll go in to have a better look at all this brightly painted delightfullness!
We've settled into our house (after a day or two with no water!) and more importantly, the studio is set up for painting and we've already spent two happy afternoons there! It's a perfect room for the three of us...lots of windows overlooking the street below with bright cheery bougainvillea hanging over the walls, horses clip-clopping up and down the cobblestones...and of course the sound of neighbourhood kids playing happily and loudly below us (with the occasional firecracker!). Pictures to come soon.
The picture above is linked to Bella's 52 Photo's Project. Week 2, where the theme this week was "something really small".

Pure Storage Inc. customers had a common reaction to the all-flash vendor's addition of an active failover cluster for multisite replication: It's about time.
The vendor added ActiveCluster stretch clustering as a standard feature in the Purity 5 operating system, giving customers the option to replicate copies between all-flash FlashArray and FlashBlade systems. They also may choose to use existing network filers or Amazon Web Services as a cloud target. The vendor launched Purity ActiveCluster last week at its Pure Accelerate 2017 user conference in San Francisco.
ActiveCluster supports replication between metro data centers up to 150 miles apart. Customers can opt to asynchronously send snapshots to a third global data center.
Rajiv Gupta, senior director of technology operations for San Francisco-based affiliate marketer Ebates Inc., wasn't at the Pure Accelerate press conference introducing Purity ActiveCluster. Gupta learned of it when a reporter asked for his reaction.
"They're adding multisite replication? I didn't know that. That's great news," said Gupta, who manages Ebates' Pure Storage FlashArray implementation, which four years ago supplanted Hewlett Packard Enterprise 3PAR disk-based arrays.
"We don't have a dedicated storage administrator. My VMware administrator handles the storage. Simplicity of storage is very important to us," Gupta added.
FlashArray//X is the latest generation of the vendor's block array that uses solid-state drives. Pure Storage also sells FlashBlade, which handles both file and object data, and Pure Storage FlashStack reference designs through a partnership with server giant Cisco.
Meeting the competition
Pure Storage didn't add stretch clustering out of mere kindness, though. The lack thereof hurt its competitive standing.
Henry Baltazarresearch director for storage, 451 Research
"They were at risk of getting dropped from [request for proposals] RFPs or not being included at all," said Henry Baltazar, a research director of storage at 451 Research, referring to Pure's lack of stretch clustering. "They needed active clustering to continue hammering away at the tier-one market. This gives Pure another software feature to compete better against Dell EMC."
Danh Duong, lead storage and backup administrator for the University of California, Davis, hailed Pure's decision to bundle stretch clustering in the package price for FlashArray. Other vendors usually offer it as a separate software license.
"In the past, it has typically been very expensive to do active-active clustering. It could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars [in licensing fees]. Pure is saying it's going to include it in the cost," Duong said.
Formula 1 racing team Mercedes AMG Petronas generates approximately 300 GB to 400 GB of trackside data during a single race. Pre- and post-race activities add to the data density, including simulations at its factories.
To protect that data in real time, the Mercedes F1 teams deploys DataCore as a virtualization layer atop its two Pure Storage FlashArray storage boxes, which leverages Pure's internal snapshots.
"Putting out ActiveCluster is fundamental to our planning in 2018," said Matt Harris, head of IT for Mercedes F1. "We expect to save hundreds of thousands of pounds in software maintenance. We won't need that software, since Pure is giving us ActiveCluster for free."
All-flash data center still elusive, but dreams lives on
Snapshots and replication exert impact on backup schedules
Pure Storage sees a billion reasons 2018 will be a good year

Dear Mom, Dad, Serena, John and Mary,
Hi! Thanks for the latest letter and the clippings. Interesting about Carolyn Collier. Before I forget, please send me a copy of my birth certificate I need it in order to get a driver's license.
That week in August sounds fine. Portland is alot closer to Sanford than Boston is but might be more inconvenient to fly to. Shall I rent a wheel chair and make some reservations for motel? Will Serena be coming?
We've looked at several
I've been keeping us supplies with wild strawberries. They certainly are good. The blueberry bushes have formed the berries but they are still very green. Won't be too long. There seem to be lots of wild ones around of them too. Can't beat the price either. Did you read that article in a Christian Science Monitor last week about a possible food shortage? We've been slowly building up a stockpile of canned goods and other supplies and after that article maybe I'll step it up some more. Going back to the blueberries, I'm hoping to get enough of them to do some canning -- and see how the new pressure canner works.
Kiman is in heat so we've been keeping her inside all the time except when we can keep her under constant surveilance outside. We are lucky that
I met a boy the other day from Bloomington Indiana who told me how lucky he thought Serena was to go to Earlham. We also met a couple at the beach who were vacationing here - from Columbus. The traffic in Sanford gets worse almost every day. The Main St is about the only street that has stores and goes through town. At most of the intersections there aren't any stoplights. We have to turn left on to it when we come home form the library and sometimes it seems that it is almost impossible [still is!].
We had the 1000 mile check up on the Land Rover last week. It seems to be doing ok. They have a safety check system here and every car has to be checked
All of the apartments are now filled. Supposedly they're going to have the swimming pool ready soon but they haven't even broken ground yet. There is a Richard Hill in Apt. 19 which causes some confusion with the mail.
Do you have any address in South America? When will you be back? Please send the copy of the birth certificate before you go.
Love, Catherine & X

Picasso's running minotaur
By The Running Muse, Jul 3 2015 07:52PM
There is a legendary athletics BBC commentary on an Olympic 800 metres race featuring eventual gold medallist Alberto Juantorena: '......and the big Cuban opens his legs and shows his class'.
I'm afraid to say that this inadvertent double entendre was the first thing that flashed through my ignoble mind when I saw this 1928 charcoal and paper collage by the one of the great 20th century artists, perhaps the greatest, Pablo Picasso.
Because that's not a sock.
This image of an alarmingy priapic runner is one of a great many in Picasso's work that draw on the ancient Greek story of the minotaur, the half man, half bull creature waiting in his labyrinth to devour human sacrifices. Being Spanish, Picasso might have been expected to have references to bulls and bullfighting in his work, but what did the minotaur represent for him?
Picasso himself gives us a clue: 'If all the ways I have been along were marked on a map and joined with a line, it might represent a minotaur', he said. As a free-thinking artist, he felt trapped in his own private labyrinth by the social mores of his time, and he expressed his irrational urgings through the hybrid beast's inbuilt alter ego.
Now a minotaur is an example of a chimera, a mythical creature with the body parts and behavioural characteristics of different animals (familiar examples range from Pegasus and the Sphinx to the nameless figures of pathos in the films 'Alien: Resurrection' and 'Beauty and the Beast'). In the late medieval art of Hieronymous Bosch, chimeras were mostly visual puns that referred to biblical verses or metaphors, often representing the satanic deceptions that can lead us to Hell.
Picasso, however, seems to have created a personal aesthetic in which he acknowledges his more lascivious or monstrous impulses as manifestations of his subconscious, which for many artists and intellectuals had been validated as a source of authentic outbursts from the psyche by the recent theories of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. Picasso's minotaurs were an expression of these uncompromising, bestial, chthonic rumblings.
Freud had suggested that the mind was a zone of conflict in which the morality of the 'super-ego' attempts to suppress or manage the basic instincts and desires of the 'id', and that this struggle is mediated by the Self, the 'ego' (and ego is something which Picasso appears to have had in abundance). A lack of appropriate management skills on the part of the Self can lead to psychoemotional disturbances.
Picasso's Surrealist artist friends in particular placed great emphasis on these unconscious eruptions, however forbidden, sexual or violent they were, however full of rage and subsequent guilt.
His own identification with the minotaur was a fantasy in which he seemed to 'devour' women who submitted to him as human sacrifices on the altar of his art (he was prolifically unfaithful to his wives and lovers). The narrative resonance he found in the minotaur's confinement in a labyrinth, especially once he had become famous, led him to view his art as a kind of Ariadne's thread* that could navigate him out of his existential predicament.
The blue design of the running minotaur's genitalia is a witty riposte to this confinement. Besides being an overt flaunting of his libidinous nature, it is a pun on the original 'cordon bleu' (see below), the blue sash ribbon of Saint-Esprit which was the French ancien regime's highest order of chivalry, a symbol of stifling social stagnation (Picasso lived in France for most of his life). Picasso's use of it in this bawdy context is a kind of sophisticated 'Up yours!' graffito, delivered with relish and panache.
But why running? Is this minotaur, half bull and half Picasso, defined only by his head, legs and cordon bleu dick, finally escaping? Is he on a sexual rampage? Or is he desperately fleeing his bestial 'bull-mind', as one critic called it, thus mitigating the chaos it had caused in his life? All three is my guess, given that his style often incorporated multiple viewpoints within a single work.
The rather comical swinging penis of the male runner has of course been represented in art before, particularly on early Greek vases. Long before Lycra shorts restrained unruly members, male athletes ran naked around both the stadium and the vases depicting their feats, where certain dimensions were exaggerated, while others were rather downplayed, to put it coyly.
Picasso's version exhibits a running style of a very inefficient kind, by the look of it, and we are unlikely to see naked 10k's any time soon, but if we ever do, I predict a chorus of 'Swing Low' in the post-race showers.
My own running life exhibits some chimeric qualities - half mud-skipper, half elephant - and so I've been inspired by Pablo to work on a collage expressing my primitive proclivities. My inner beast is called a mudpach, and it has a very small trunk.
'Le Minotaure (The Minotaur)', 1928, Pablo Picasso, black chalk and pasted paper on canvas, 142 cm x 232 cm, The National Museum of Modern Art Pompidou Centre, Paris.
It was a collage made as a blueprint for a wool and silk tapestry that was eventually woven to the same dimensions in the Gobelin workshop in 1935. Now known as the Cuttoli Tapestry after its commissioner and owner, it is in currently at the Musée Picasso in Antibes.
The Gobelin workshop made tapestries for the French royal families for centuries and continues as a business and visitor attraction in Paris.
'Louis, Dauphin of France' by Hubert Drouais, c.1745, oil on canvas, 68cm x 57cm, Museo del Prado, Madrid. Louis was the son of Louis XV, but never became king.
'Drinking Minotaur and Reclining Woman' by Pablo Picasso, 1933 lithograph.
'Dora and the Minotaur' by Pablo Picasso, 1936, charcoal and black ink, 74cm x 40cm, Musée Picasso, Paris. Dora Maar was the painter's mistress and muse at the time.
* In the Greek myth, when Theseus goes to Crete and enters the labyrinth, he leaves a trail of thread given to him by King Minos' daughter, Ariadne, who had become enamoured of him. Having slain the minotaur, he retraces his steps to find his way out of the maze.
The ship in which he returned from this venture was preserved for centuries by the Athenians he ruled, each part being replaced as it rotted. Since the whole ship was eventually replaced, could it still be considered Theseus' ship? This is the 'Ship of Theseus Paradox' that is often invoked by philosophers discussing identity (perhaps not least because we ourselves are continually replacing most of the cells in our body).
The minotaur's stepbrother, by the way, was an athlete from Crete who had won all the prizes at the Panathenaic Games. It was his consequent murder by humiliated Athenians that led King Minos to demand that the cream of Athens' youth be fed to his stepson (the minotaur).
Any other runners out there who think there is much more to running than physical exertion?
Well, you're not alone - ever since the earliest cave paintings, the meaning and pleasure of the running experience has been explored by writers, painters and composers, by philosophers, film-makers and dramatists.
Comedians have laughed at it, scientists have analysed it, and historians have chronicled its cultural resonance. The Running Muse will be nourishing your runner's soul with stories from all of them.
Even the sweatiest of ancient Greek gyms were also places of intellectual endeavour, so welcome to a new blog for the thinking runner, a miscellany of musings on running in culture that will be navigating the existential wonders of putting one foot in front of the other.
