A Sorting Machine
Seduction, like grace in Calvinism, is a sorting machine. In the most common learning experience in the world, I learn that I am not always desired by those I desire, loved by those I love, and that I enter this universe as a potential reject. A wallflower: the range of this expression is not limited to ballrooms and parties. Some people are wallflowers all their lives, while others are adored from the start and don't know how to deal with all their admirers. The miracle of being preferred: a favor that fulfills us and excludes everyone else. Being attractive is as inexplicable as being unattractive; why do some people follow us around while others hardly deign to look at us? (Sade resolved the problem in his own way: everyone who attracts us has an obligation to grant us his favors immediately, just as we have an obligation to grant ours to those who desire us. For him, desire was a debt, while for Fourier it was a gift that attractive people agree to grant the rest of humanity.)
The success enjoyed by a writer like Michel Houellebecq, with his combination of black humor and pessimism, can be explained in this way: he has created a sort of international federation of losers in love, and revealed the lie of hedonism, which is one form of feudalism among others. He has provided a voice for those without a voice, just as Woody Allen had done in his early films that show the unattractive taking revenge on playboys. Contrary to a boastful expression, in love we cannot "have whomever we want," but only whomever we can or whoever is willing to have us. When the two coincide, it is a miracle. But "everything precious is as difficult as it is rare" (Spinoza). Some people think themselves irresistible and are convinced that they have mobs of admirers following them around, so that they interpret your refusal as an error of judgment, almost a lack of taste.
Everyone is supposed to have fun amid Dionysian crowds, but the bids are so high that they often look more like punishments. In this great fair of narcissisms, some people get excessive exposure because others, who are in the majority, applaud them.
Consider exclusive clubs and night clubs: selecting their clientele on the basis of notoriety or youth, they are temples of the stock market in bodies, directly governed by the laws of competition against the background of deafening music and affected laughter. People go there to see and be seen, and judgments are made on the basis of a single glance. In theory, all that matters is having fun, enjoying oneself, and the gathering together of hundreds of individuals bound together by rhythm and movement. But clubs also control the modes of encounter, if only by the decibel level, which makes conversation difficult. There is little kindness in these pleasure palaces, which are for many people places of torment, and resemble personnel offices in large companies. (That is also the spirit of "speed dating," in which you have seven minutes to make yourself interesting.) A world of pure artifice, instantaneous infatuation: youth is displayed as a spectacle for itself, devotes itself to the adoration of perishable things. A hallucinatory vision of certain creatures whom we watch dancing the way we would look upon the impossible. Total glories of the flesh, absolute enchantment. The magnates display themselves before the plebeians who applaud them and ask for more. A universe that owes nothing to intelligence or merit but only to flashiness, affluence, and showing off; you are what you seem to be, nothing more. Everyone is supposed to have fun amid Dionysian crowds, but the bids are so high that they often look more like punishments. In this great fair of narcissisms, some people get excessive exposure because others, who are in the majority, applaud them.
It is in the name of liberated desire, which has been freed from the prisons in which priests and morality had confined it, that the most profound forms of segregation take place. To desire is first of all to exclude, to measure faces and bodies by the standards of the code of stereotyped beauty. An individual's talent then consists entirely in discovering a way to circumvent the laws of this selection, to find, as the French say, a shoe that fits his foot. It is a miracle that in the end even the least favored are able to find someone and to penetrate the immense wall that bars their access to others. More intriguing than the classical attraction to beauty is the incomprehensible attraction to ordinary creatures. That unattractive, even very ugly men or women arouse intense feelings, mad transports of passion—that is the real miracle.
The Revenge of the Eclipsed
Some people have made seduction a way of life. Incapable of resisting opportunities, they give priority to the nascent state; they are collectors of beginnings. They become infatuated with unknown persons whom they leave as soon as another appears on the horizon. For them, the amorous sequence is short: the end almost coincides with the beginning, excitation has to be followed by execution, presto. What is a man-eater? A skirt-chaser? People who like digressions. They prefer the hunt to the capture, sensation to emotion; certain romantic places call imperatively for an affair, it matters little with whom. They are equally moved by an ugly woman or a fat man; they care little about the appearances because the only thing that matters is the shock of the new. How long it lasts or what kind of exchange is involved does not interest them; they find their joy in furtive contact, the whirlwind of rendezvous. Although they generally settle down before they're fifty, they have the feeling, justified or not, that they have lived better than most people. They like the perfume of love more than people, they are happy buccaneers who exhibit their trophies to attract others. Their calculated nonchalance protects them; no affront knocks them out of the saddle, they merely attack again. Whereas the lover stammers, the seducer swaggers: he shows off his skill, his gold and scarlet, and goes straight for his target, infallible. (The male cruiser is the plebeian version of the worldly charmer; preferring slaughter to subtlety, he endures endless snubs and has a tried and true line from which he never deviates. As they age, the sidewalk seducer and the pleasure-seeker with a face-lift sink into the same pathetic repetition of worn-out, threadbare recipes.)
An impossible equation: the more I am seduced, the less I succeed in seducing; I am petrified by inhibition.
Anyone who lacks this skill mourns missed opportunities: what might have happened but didn't—the word that was not uttered, the gesture that was not made. Cruising for sexual partners leads to aggression; you speak to a stranger in a public place, you accost him or her (accosting was originally a pirates' term). But if you find someone attractive, how can you get her attention without accosting her? This kind of question can take a lifetime to answer. There are now coaches to teach you the delicate art of approaching a desired person, the witty remarks that never fail to bring a smile to the most severe of faces. As it always has, desire requires us to dissimulate: if we no longer say "I love you" straight out, neither do we tell a woman that we just want her luscious breasts, her ample ass. We have to equivocate.
An impossible equation: the more I am seduced, the less I succeed in seducing; I am petrified by inhibition. In a very high-tension climate, I should be amusing, brilliant, thoroughly relaxed. Totally flummoxed, I am struck dumb, dulled by my desire to be inventive. To court someone is first of all to blow one's own trumpet, to engage in self-embellishment. Even the most paralyzed lover has to pretend to be a lady-killer, to make use of the stratagems of flashiness. The adoring lover used to be a strutting beau who was able to shine and yield to the excitement of bidding at the risk of falling into virtuosity. But there is also a seductiveness in the refusal to seduce. There are strategies of silence and simplicity that captivate more than gratuitous volubility. Not to mention the figure of the charming, dazed lover who wins hearts by making one blunder after another. The really fine encounter is one that is unexpected and unaware of its value, and thus escapes the obligation to produce a result. If something happens, it is like the denouement of a story that was not premeditated. The obligation to proceed with verve is suspended for a freewheeling conversation that develops at its own pace because there is nothing at stake. A divine stroke of luck has held out a helping hand; it is up to us to seize it or forget it.
There is nothing more beautiful than the stubbornness of two people who have exchanged a look in a bus or on a train and want at any price to see each other again and put classified ads in the newspapers. (The personals in the Paris newspaper Libération are the quintessence of contemporary romance.) It is on the Internet that these bypassing strategies are flourishing: people try their luck with kindred souls, concealing themselves at first if necessary and misrepresenting themselves with their photos. Thus the terror of the preliminaries is avoided; for those who don't dare approach girls in the street or declare their love to a stranger, there remains the second chance on the computer screen. Sometimes people remain skeptical faced by these encyclopedias of lonely hearts calling out for help. But here there are no intermediaries; the websites bring together consenting adults who develop relationships in accord with their affinities and desires. These sites are vast sorting centers that pair up masses of people, whereas matrimonial agencies are small provincial operations run by supervisors who know their clientele. In them, seducers have multiple flings, and sentimentalists seek a lasting relationship. Every day, many thousands of agreements are made and unmade. The Internet is a formidable accelerator: every whim, even the most ludicrous, finds its home there. Many people are more interested in searching than in finding; they are dazzled by the number of possible adventures and wander like sultans through this virtual harem and only seldom if ever give their appetites material form.
Every shy person thus nourishes two contradictory dreams: that of an immediate accord of epidermises and that of an instantaneous communion of souls.
Especially because cybernauts can disappear with a click of their mouse: the other is at my disposition, whenever I want. On websites like Meetic, Match.com, and Netclub, people construct themselves as ideal partners, smoothing out all their asperities, and offering their best profile. One shops among the candidates but is oneself part of the market. The same people who complain loudly about violations of privacy display themselves in their blogs, exhibiting themselves in daring positions; the desire for recognition wins out over the concern for prudence. Whence the delightful mix-ups that take place on the Internet, very much in the tradition of libertine novels, where a wife tracks down her husband and sets up a rendezvous with him, passing herself off as a mysterious stranger. Computerized browsing does not evade encounters, it delays them, prepares them under the best auspices. The same implacable laws will be in force as soon as the persons involved are in contact. Unless the filter of the computer screen sanctions a phobia about contact. The philosopher of science, Dominique Lecourt, has coined a nice neologism, cyberia, to designate the Web addicts who let themselves be caught in the great universal net in order to escape their contemporaries.
Every shy person thus nourishes two contradictory dreams: that of an immediate accord of epidermises and that of an instantaneous communion of souls. The dream of a desire that is not ostracized, in which bodies achieve sensual pleasure without examination: homosexual cruising, back rooms, and swingers' clubs incarnate this communism of pleasure in which no one is supposed to be excluded from the banquet of the flesh. And the opposite dream of a transparency of hearts, of a consonance of minds that avoids superfluous chitchat and allows one to enter into symbiosis with the chosen person, beyond all the liturgies of gallantry. Neither of these two procedures could be raised to the rank of a solution; the fluidity of exchanges is still limited by the density of individuals. There will always be men and women before whom we remain speechless. Hence we long for the security of home, where we don't have to prove anything, where in theory we are not subject to constant evaluation. But even the most ovine conjugal life needs movement, and the couple—like the nation, according to Renan—is a daily plebiscite. No one is excused from the duty of having to please, even after twenty years of marriage. There is no place beyond seduction.

Armed police are searching for a suspect on the London Underground after a man was left with cuts to his face and body at Finsbury Park. A 63-year-old man is suspected to have been injured in an attack on the Tube station in north London. The Victoria line is currently disrupted due to the incident.
A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman said: "We were called to Finsbury Park Underground station at 1.48pm following a report of an injured man. Officers attended the southbound Victoria line platform, alongside colleagues from the London Ambulance Service. A 63-year-old man was taken to hospital with cuts to his body and face.
"Armed BTP officers searching for a possible suspect met a southbound Victoria line train at King's Cross St Pancras Underground station and conducted a search of the train. No arrests have been made at this time. Victoria line services have been disrupted due to this incident."
The man has since been taken to hospital but is believed to have suffered life-threatening injuries. One witness to the incident, Liam O'Hare, told LBC: "I was on the platform at Finsbury Park and saw what seemed like an altercation between two guys further down the platform.
"I got on the train and didn't think it looked too serious at the time, then one of the guys who also got on the carriage further down from me said he looked in bad shape and there was blood everywhere. A couple of passengers managed to help him off. It all happened very quickly."
He added: "I didn't see what happened to the other guy, he ran off to somewhere to another platform or out of the station. Everyone was in a bit of a state of shock. The carriage had blood all over it where the guy had been. Every time the train stopped people got on and had to step over this puddle of blood. It was surreal."
O'Hare added other witnesses said they saw "some kind of blade" was used during the altercation, but he did not see it himself. He wrote on Twitter: "Should mention that I didn't see the weapon myself but others passengers around me did. Wounds, fingers crossed, did not seem life-threatening."

The more you evolve spiritually
August 19, 2013 Comments Off on The more you evolve spiritually
The more you evolve spiritually, the further you pass from the understanding of every man.
Bowl of Saki, August 8, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
The average man cannot understand the mystic; and therefore people are always at a loss when dealing with him. His 'yes' is not the same 'yes' that everybody says; his 'no' has not the same meaning as that which everybody understands. In almost every phrase he says there is some symbolical meaning. His every outward action has an inner significance. A man who does not understand his symbolical meaning may be bewildered by hearing a phrase, which is nothing but confusion to him.
from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/I/I_II_10.htm
I will tell you something about my own teacher. Once I met a learned man, a doctor of philosophy with a great many degrees. I spoke to him on the deeper side of life and he became so interested in me that he thought much of me. So I thought, 'If I were to tell him about my teacher, how much more interesting that would be for him. If I make such an impression upon this man, how much more my teacher will be for him, and how much will he appreciate my teacher', and I told him, 'There is a wonderful man in this city, he has no comparison in the whole world'. 'Yes?', said he, 'Are there such people? I would so much like to see him. Where does he live?' I told him, in such and such a part of the city. He said, 'I live there too. Where is his house. I know all the people there. What is his name?' So I told him, and he said, 'For twenty years I have known this man, and you are telling me about him!' I thought, 'In a hundred years you would not have been able to know him'. He was not ready to know him.
If people are not evolved enough they cannot appreciate persons, they cannot understand them, they cannot understand the greatest souls. They sit with them, they talk with them, there is a contact of the whole life, but they do not see. Another person in one moment, if he is ready to understand, makes a benefit out of it. Imagine, the learned man had known my teacher for twenty years and did not know him. I saw him once, and became his pupil forever. One might ask, 'Was this man not learned, not intellectual?' Yes, he was. Then what was lacking? He saw my teacher with his brain, I saw him with my heart. People pursue spirituality with their brain: that is where they are mistaken. Spirituality is attained through the heart.
from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/XIV/XIV_2_8.htm
The more one evolves the more one will discover the different grades of people, just like the different keys on the piano. One is lower, another is higher. Every person has a different grade of evolution. Also, the higher you evolve the more you will find that you cannot drive everyone with the same whip. You have to speak to everyone differently, in fact in his own language. If you speak a language he does not understand, it will be gibberish to him. …
Once when traveling I met a man of a very dense evolution, a soldier who always lived in military surroundings and who had very fixed ideas of his own. And when we were talking together and it appeared that we thought differently about something, I happened to say in order to preserve harmony, 'Well, we are brothers!' He looked at me with great anger, and said, 'Brothers! How dare you say such a thing!' I said, 'I forgot. I am your servant, Sir.' He was very pleased. I could have argued, but this would have created disharmony without reason. The foolishness of that man blazed up just like fire. I put water on it and extinguished it. I did not diminish myself. We are all servants of one another. And it pleased and satisfied him.

Mumbai: Premlata Agarwal became the oldest Indian woman to conquer Mount Everest on Friday, an official said here. Mother of two daughters, one of whom is married, Premlata ascended the world's highest peak at 9.35 am, said a spokesperson for her sponsors.
Fort five-year-old Premlata began her preparations to scale the world's tallest peak on May 6 when she went from the base camp at 18,000 feet to Camp 2 at 22,000 feet.
Then, with the help of artificial oxygen, she reached Camp 3 at 23,000 feet and Camp 4 at 26,000 feet.
She caught some rest on Thursday before embarking on her arduous climb to the summit at 11 pm, and finally reaching there after nearly 11 hours.
Before conquering world's highest peak, Premlata went on a climbing exercise at 20,300-feet-high Island Peak in the Himalayas, besides going up and down the Everest base camps for over a month to acclimatise herself with the tough conditions and regime.
Premlata has now become the first woman from the Marwari community to scale Everest. She has participated in several adventure events like the Karakoram Pass expedition, an ascent on Stok Kangri, and the first Indian women's Thar Desert expedition which involved a 40-day camel safari from Bhuj in Gujarat to Attari in Punjab.

Ash will record 55 tracks before October when they will release a new single from their 'A to Z' collection every fortnight for a year.
Ash will choose their next single from 55 new tracks.
Frontman Tim Wheeler has revealed the trio have been incredibly productive and hope to continue their prolific output before releasing their 'A to Z' singles collection.
From October, the band will release a single every fortnight for a year.
Tim told BANG Showbiz: "We've already recorded 44 tracks and we're going to do more as well, because we're experimenting a lot. About half of them are at the level we need them to be. When we're releasing that many songs in a year, we need to be pleased with them. We'll probably have done about 55 or so by October."
However, the 'Goldfinger' hitmakers say they will continue working on new material throughout the year to create a collection of singles they are satisfied with.
Speaking at the Hop Farm festival in Kent on Sunday (06.04.09), Bassist Mark Hamilton explained: "That's the good thing about it, even when we reach October, we still have the duration of the year to continue the work as well."
The band have been absent from the music scene since 2007 when they say they took a break to "recharge" and come up with new lyrical and musical ideas and feel the time out has been beneficial.
Tim said: "I think it's important to have breaks to give us chance to recharge."
Mark explained: "When we were touring before, we did about 20 months straight."
Tim added: "We just burn out when we're on tour, we run out of ideas because you're not used to real life... you need that sometimes."

The NFL season starts this Thursday and with that comes the start of Fantasy Football. We will have every game on Sundays where you can watch all your players at the same time.
We will also have our picks and suggestions going in to the weekend posted here before Thursday Night Football. So heres our first picks for the first week:
Running Backs:
Starters: Adrain Peterson, Eddie Lacy, Jamall Charles, Marshawn Lynch, Matt Forte, Jeremy Hill, & pretty much anyone of your first picks.
Sleeper Pick:. Doug Martin against the Titans Defense should be a good matchup.
Riding the Pine: TJ Yeldon & CJ Anderson. Have second thoughts about starting these guys.
Wide Receivers/TE:
Start: Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Dez Bryant, Calvin Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, & Odell Beckahm Jr.
Sleeper Pick: Nelson Agholor: Great hands and should matchup well against ATL secondary.
Second Thoughts. Jimmy Graham may not burst out for the gate like everyone thinks, after a mediocre Preseason. Rams Defense is also one for he best in the league.
Quarter backs:
Start: Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck, Ben Rothlisberger, Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, & Ryan Tannehill.
Sleeper Picks: Carson Palmer coming back against the Saints should do well.
Second Thoughts. Cam Newton may be playing the Jaguars but has little talent around him at the WR position.
Start: Seahawks, Rams, Bills, & almost any top 15.
Sleeper Pick: Panthers still have a good Defense and they are playing the Jaguars so expect a big week.
Sit: Giants Defense is sub par and they are going against the potent Cowboys Offense. Think twice about starting the Giants D.
We will check back next week to cover breakout performances and predictions for Week 2.

What is AI?
Artificial intelligence is machines simulating the human brain by learning, reasoning and solving problems with or without human intervention. Speech recognition, image classification, autonomous vehicles, language translation and question-answering systems all make up AI.
Is AI a threat to humanity?
Artificial intelligence is not something of the future - it is here right now, ready to be the next big thing… or as some might say the beginning of the end.
Stephen Hawking stated, "artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."
Elon Musk referred to artificial intelligence as "summoning the demon."
Bill Gates on dangers of AI, "I don't understand why some people are not concerned."
It is widely believed that given time AI could take off on its own and redesign itself to rival and surpass humans. Some movies that depict AI as a human threat are; "The Terminator" "The Matrix" "Ex Machina" "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "I, Robot".
Personally I think many large organisations and industries will be threatened by extinction but humans remain to be the number threat to humanity, not robots.
The Internet of Things (IoT)
So the Internet has been the big thing of the last few decades, this has led to faster, smarter and smaller technology to access this information. Now it's time for devices with AI to talk and feed off the Internet as well as each other… this is known as the Internet of Things (IoT).
Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Google Now and Microsoft Cortana are poised to be an interface between humans and AI devices. Google, Tesla, Mercedes and many more are developing autonomous vehicles. Uber has launched the first autonomous taxi service, transport departments around the world are expanding the interpretation of the word "driver" to include computer systems.
Service robots at airports can translate languages, guide passengers, detect bombs, check in and load luggage onto correct flight, facial recognition alerts and so on.
AI in the health industry is also set to revolutionise patient care from simple diagnostics and recommended treatment to DNA sampling and analysis of millions of patient records to explore better cancer treatments. All this could be done from your own home, maybe even from your car as you travel to work.
Just imagine oncologists utilising the facial recognition used in Google photos or Facebook to recognise a particular type of cancer and then AI recommends the most effective treatment based on analysing variables that would take a lifetime of research.
So who will survive, who will perish?
This is yet to be seen but if you're a large tech company and you haven't already put into place an AI strategy then most likely you will end up like Kodak, Blackberry or Nokia.
If you're a human get ready for a significant change in the world as you know it.
- Stephen Mifsud

|Predicting the Reliability of Zero-Level TSVs
|Keywords: TSV Reliability, Failure Mechanisms, Prediction Approach
|Through Silicon Vias (TSV) are the next generation technology for system in package devices and are similar to plated through holes in a PCB from a reliability behavior perspective. The promised advantages include thinner packages and a greater level of integration between active die. The process is still being optimized and costs must be reduced for widespread adoption. TSV is rarely justified by just miniaturization alone as it is more cost-effective to thin, stack and wire bond. Cost can be 2X-4X price of flip chip ($200/wafer is the goal) and 5X-10X the price of wire bonding. TSV will be justified by performance, specifically an increase in inter-die I/O, increase in bandwidth, and a corresponding decrease in interconnect length. This paper will present two different approaches to the generation of TSVs as the vias can be created at various stages of the process: By the wafer provider, IC manufacturer, or packaging house. The paper will also address the techniques for creating the TSVs e.g. etching and lasering with respect to their differences and results as well as provide insight into the various approaches for filling the vias. A comparison between solid fill, polymer fill and no fill concepts will be made. Finally, the paper will address the three primary failure mechanisms for TSVs, that of, cracking of the copper plating, cracking of the silicon /change in resistance of silicon and interfacial delamination of the via wall from the silicon. The paper will conclude with a focus on the challenges for this technology as the exact process and architecture (materials, design) for TSV has yet to be finalized which in turn can lead to large changes in stress states.

The World's Toughest Van Test
March 13, 2014
Winters don't get any tougher than in northern Finland where roads are covered with snow and ice, and temperatures can drop as low as -50 C.This was the setting for the 2014 Arctic Van Test, a grueling ordeal that offers bragging rights for the manufacturer with the toughest van on the planet.
Challenges range from slaloming across a frozen airfield to a 700-kilometre endurance drive.
After five days of testing, experts from six European magazines named the Ford Transit and the smaller Transit Connect the winners in their respective classes – the first time Ford has achieved the double in the test's 23-year history.
Watch a short documentary on the Arctic Van Test below.

- Description
The Hyundai DHY9KSEm-4 is a single phase diesel generator with a maximum output of 8.8kW/11kVa. Designed for domestic or professional use, the DHY9KSEm-4 is powered by a 14hp diesel engine and is equipped an AVR alternator to produce clean energy. This means that any sensitive electronic equipment, such as televisions, PCs and laptops, can safely be powered by the DHY9KSEm-4.
The DHY14KSE can be started manually by using the key, or connected to an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) system. An ATS system will automatically detect a loss of power from the mains, turn your DHY9KSEm-4 on automatically, and then turn it off again when power returns from the mains.
Housed in a weather-proof "silenced" canopy, the DHY9KSEm-4 produces only 65dB @ 7 metres which makes it a quiet standby generator which won't interrupt you at home or work.
All Hyundai 1500rpm diesel generator sound proof canopies undergo an anti-corrosion painting process called electrophoretic painting. This process ensures all areas of the canopy have an evenly applied thickness of paint, ensuring maximum corrosion protection.
The DHY9KSEm-4 benefits from being an economical diesel generator, capable of running on red diesel which is significantly cheaper than road diesel and is safer to store than petrol.
Running at 1500rpm, the engine is stressed less than in 3000rpm generators and this helps extend the lifespan of the machine if properly serviced.
For Hyundai's recommended usage of this generator, please see here.

Action adventure games are all over the place on Steam and elsewhere. So, how do you stand out from the crowd? Epistory – Typing Chronicles is differentiating itself with regards to gameplay mechanics and visuals.
Unlike most titles where you'll click on enemies to fight them, or press a controller button to start crafting items, you'll do everything via typing out words. It might sound a bit weird, but check out the trailer below to see it in action.
Another obvious distinction between Epistory – Typing Chronicles and its contemporaries is a gorgeous origami-style world. You'll be able to start playing when the game launches on Steam Early Access on September 30.

Aaron Hernandez could not be stopped by Broncos on football field
Perhaps more than Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski, former New England Patriot and current murder suspect Aaron Hernandez was a difficult matchup for the Broncos' defense.
A Patriots tight end/tailback, Hernandez played two games against the Broncos, both in the 2011 season.
In a December regular season game, Hernandez had 9 catches for 129 yards and a touchdown and also had one rush for 16 yards. The Pats won 41-23.
In a January playoff game, Hernandez had five carries for 61 yards, plus four catches for 55 yards and a touchdown.
So in two games against the Broncos, Hernandez combined for 184 receiving yards and 2 TDs on 13 catches, and 76 rushing yards on 6 carries — 12.7 yards per.
Hernandez was injured and didn't play at New England last year when the Broncos lost to the Pats, 31-21. And the Broncos and Pats didn't meet in his rookie season of 2010.

It's been estimated that the average amount stolen in title fraud is in the range of $300,000; a lottery winning for fraudsters but a nightmare for homeowners. How can homeowners shield themselves from title fraud? Simple, with title insurance.
What is Title?
For such a small word-title-its importance can't be overstated when it comes to owning your home. When you buy a home, you buy the title to the property, and it means you're the registered owner.
How Can Someone Steal Your Home?
Fraudsters-through a combination of identity theft, impersonation, and forgery-can steal the rights to your home's title or mortgage your property.
Four real life examples of title fraud in Canada:
- An impostor posing as the Ontario homeowner transferred the home to another impostor, who in turn obtained a mortgage worth almost $300,000. The lender, then registered the mortgage against the property, leaving the true homeowner responsible for going through the stress and cost of proving that the mortgage was fraudulently registered.
- The elderly owner of a B.C. rental home died and his widow began proceedings to transfer the property to her name. It was at this time when it was discovered that an impostor had posed as the deceased owner (posthumously) and transferred the property to someone else, after which a $320,000 mortgage was taken out on the property. It took three years for the rightful, true owner to convince the courts that the impostors fraudulently obtained the house's title and took out a mortgage.
- A property owner, trying to pay his property's taxes was told that, according to municipal records, he no longer owned his home.
- A Toronto homeowner rented her home to a nice couple, or so she thought. Before their lease expired, the couple created a fake version of the homeowner who sold the home to another individual who was also in on the scam. This buyer, registered a $250,000 mortgage on the home, took the cash, defaulted and disappeared, leaving the real homeowner holding the bag.
With real estate title fraud, the burden of proof is on the victim to show that an actual crime has happened; which is often tricky because of identity theft. Title insurance can give you the protection you need by covering legal expenses and costs incurred in the process of proving a fraud had been committed.
Whether you're buying a new home, or have lived in your home for years, title insurance can protect the single largest investment most Canadians make in their life: their home. Get a quote for title insurance in Canada today.

In November 2012, Washington voters passed 1-502, directing the state government to regulate and tax adult recreational marijuana use. I-502 delineates three categories for this regulated business: marijuana producers (growing the plant); processors (incorporating the plant into edibles, liquids, or packaged bud ready for retail); and retailers (running the shops where marijuana products are sold). Under I-502, marijuana businesses must be located at least 1000 feet away from sensitive uses such as schools, libraries, and parks.
The City Council approved Ordinance 2014-06 (PDF) in 2014, adopting zoning regulations for marijuana-related businesses. Marijuana related uses are permitted only in the Business/Industrial zone (BIMC 18.09.020). See also BIMC 18.09.030.K for additional regulations specific to marijuana production, processing and retail uses.

[ Students United with Renters carry a "Yes on M" banner at the intersection of Mission and Bay in Santa Cruz as part of the Rally Against Big Money and Predatory Landlords. October 11, 2018. ]
Dozens rallied in Santa Cruz on Thursday, October 11 to draw support for Measure M, a local rent control initiative. The measure will expand tenant protections and limit rent increases where possible. Proponents say Measure M would help community members who are struggling financially, including families, students, and seniors, afford to stay in Santa Cruz.
Community members, brought together by Students United with Renters, began gathering at Trescony Park at 4:30 p.m. According to their website, "SUR is a collaborative group of student and non-student renters and community members of Santa Cruz organizing for housing justice for all and the stability of our community. We are working to address out-of-control rents and a lack of protection for tenants and houseless people from abuses, intimidation, and eviction."

Faith and politics mix at Labour Party Conference as it begins with church service
Faith and politics will mix at this year's Labour Party Conference in Brighton. The first day of Conference will begin with the annual Labour Party church service. The service, which brings together Labour Party delegates and local worshippers, has been organised by Christians on the Left, the group for Christians in the Labour Party.
The church service will be held at 9:15am Sunday 24 September at ONE Church, Gloucester Road, Brighton. Held in conjunction with the development NGO TearFund, the service theme is entitled "Waste not, want not? The economics of the kingdom". The speaker will be Ann Pettifor, director of PRIME economics and formerly of Jubilee 2000.
Andy Flannagan, Director of Christians on the Left, said:
"Each year the Labour Conference begins with a church service, which is a clear statement that faith and politics do mix. The conference service will bring together Christians who have been driven by their desire for social justice to get involved in politics. At the service and throughout conference week, we will tackle some of the difficult issues."
Christians on the Left is also running a number of events during conference week which will cover issues such as the plight of oppressed people in the Middle East, how to reform finance, and international development. Christians on the Left will be continuing its campaign for a 'Robin Hood Tax', which received support at last year's conference from the Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell.

Boogie: They do know that it's 2-2-2, tight as shit.
Frank: Yeah.
Boogie: I mean in some ways, it's 5 groups of 2, cuz Ian and Jenn you could kind of call a 2, even though he's our puppy dog. Pun intended on the dog suit.
Dan: I guess.. Who are you more worried being associated with? Me and Danielle or Shane and Brit?
Boogie: Just thinking out loud.. If he goes at 2 of the 6, I think it's easier on us to sort of position Shane as Captain America...
Dan: Yeah.
Boogie: ..and the 3 PoVs.. the HoH.. you know. It's.. We definitely want. You never know. Jenn could win an HoH. I don't think Ashley ever will. But just to keep making sure it's those 3 other people.
Frank: I mean.. Shane's already..
Boogie: Because look, it's not the worst thing, if we're rollin' 5, and Britney or Shane goes home..
Dan: Yeah
Boogie: ..and we didn't do it. Especially if it's jury. It would still be.. It would be really good for us. We would still have 1 ally, and if we weren't, you know, the targets.. I mean, look.. I don't think Ian is putting any of the 3 of us up. He would be the best outside person.. to put either of them up.
Frank: But Shane and Britney would still link that decision to us.
Boogie: Yeah.. but.. I'm thinkin' not in 2 weeks. Ashley will be off limits..
Frank: Yeah.
Boogie: Or at least we'll be able to sell that.
Frank: Yeah. Wil will probably be gone.
Boogie: We may not care then. Ya know? I mean..
Frank: Yeah. I mean in 2 weeks, it's possible..
Boogie: Wil is scary to get to the end.
Frank: Yeah
Boogie: We just can't like ignore him and..
Frank: I agree. I don't want him to go to the end, because obviously, I'd like us 3 to... but the thing is, I'm much less concerned with Wil now, because of that bs he did last week. I can use that against him all day, every day, if I need to, and people wont forget that. People have been shocked by that..
Boogie: Yeah. I was shocked by it.
**That makes 2 of you.
Dan: Wil.
Frank: I mean, Wil turns around and lies to me 2 weeks later.
Boogie: Yeah.
Frank: But.. It'd be better if Joe goes, and then Wil. There's no point in keeping Joe and Wil around.
Boogie: Just to live with, Joe's gotta go.
Dan: If you keep Wil off, if there any way you 2 can work out something with him? Just you 2 and Wil? In the case he wins, you guys can tell him who to put up?
Boogie: We probably could, but I don't have that kind of relationship with him, because I made him feel super guilty about what he did..
Frank: I think I could, but..
Boogie: Can you trust him.
Frank: Exactly.
Boogie: The move he made.. aAnd he's not a dummy.. He might think, f*ck, I could pull another move like that, and no one would think it was comin'.
Dan: It goes back to me.. what he did with Kara.
Boogie: Voted her out.
Dan: Yeah.
Boogie: Yeah..
Frank: But that means he'll make the smart move too, possibly, meaning, working with Frank and Mike.. He might go, "Hey, I can work with Jenn and Ashley, or I could work with Frank and Mike.. "
Dan: But then.. What happens if Shane comes down? Then you don't put him up as a pawn?
Frank: Well, no.. We thought, if Shane goes down, put Britney up.
Dan: Ah
Boogie: That way, he thinks we're after them.
Boogie smiles big..
Dan gets the giggles, perhaps over the sheer evil of it.
Frank: Yeah.
Boogie: But the you know.. Now it's like.. It's the trust factor. They have to trust us.
Frank: Shane's even joked around.. I mean, he's serious.. about staging an argument between the 2 of us... He's serious.. It's a little silly.. a little unnecessary, but..
Dan: Yeah..
Frank: If he's thinking that, then he would kind of understand going up in this situation.
Dan: To get that out of his mouth, you gotta keep her at bay, cuz she is gonna be..
Boogie: Yeah.
Dan: But at the same time, Danielle and I have had a hand in the 6. What have they done for it yet?
Boogie: Yeah.. I don't wanna rock the boat yet..
Frank: Everybody in the 6, with the exception of Mike, was wantin me out at one point.
Dan: It's true.
Frank: I mean, Britney had Shane.. Except for Shane.. I think Shane really did have my.. I think Britney really did talk him into puttin' me in that situation.
Boogie: Definitely.
Dan: Probably cuz Janelle was tellin' her..
Frank: Yeah. That's part of it.
Dan: See Janelle had me at first, cuz I didn't think she would lie, cuz she didn't lie before. When she told me something, I believed her.
Frank: Like when she told you I wanted to go after the coaches..
Dan: Yeah. What do you think Dr Will did when you cast your vote?
Boogie: I think he went Nohoo!! and just laughed.. Especially cuz I said her name too? Erin never cared.. but Erin stuck by Will when he f'in looked like he was bangin' the sh*t outta Janelle all summer.
Frank: Yeah.
**If you're newish to BB. Here's what Boogie's talking about: During AllStars, Janelle and Dr Will had an intensely hot (but hands off) flirtmance that had the entire BB loving world buzzing. It was pretty spectacular. Both had significant others outside the house. Erin was Will's girlfriend.
This brings us to 11:30 up in HoH... Beyond here, the guys are just solidifying their good feelings about the alliance.. They touch on the differences between playing with men vs women, all of the personal that comes into the game with women, all of the insecurities that get couched as game play.. etc.. At 12:15am, the HoH conversation wraps up and they head to bed..
I'm gonna dive in and check on the rest of the critters during this time period.. Please refresh in about 30 minutes to see what they had to say. :)

Ian: It's a messy game.
Wil: It is a messy game.
Jenn: She played her game messy.. and there you are.
Joe looks up at Jenn.
Ian: Exactly. Oof. That's what it was.
Wil: People that're watching, and some people think that this is the way you really are, but it's such a heightened..
Jenn: That's what bugs me..
Joe: I must just be.. I thought, today, in my mind.. I thought someone told Danielle that I was sayin' that kind of sh*t.. I saw her in the storage room, and I said hey, are you ok? And she's like, "I don't wanna talk about it!"
Jenn: That's mean ass stuff to say to a 23 year old girl when you're a grown ass woman.
**it was never said, Jenn.
Wil: When it comes to playing this game, there's no reason.. But I think it all goes back to how she was socially playing the game. I think she was detrimental to everyone's game. When you're trying to figure out who you can trust..
Jenn: And there's a wildcard running around stirring things up..
Wil: Especially when you have a very high possibility that all four coaches did know they were coming into the game..
Ian: Yeah.. We don't know..
Jenn: We don't know. They really could've totally known.
Joe: I hate to admit this, but I keep coming back to the Willie thing..
Joe: ..and Willie said he had conclusive evidence..
Jenn: Willie was full of shit.
Joe: Yeah.. But could Britney have told him?? That's what he could've meant by that is "I've been told by.."
Jenn: Yeah, I mean..
Ian: Wouldn't surprise me..
Joe: It's a distinct possiblity.
Ian: His brother knew the coaches were gonna be part of the twist before he came here, so.. His brother coulda known, Hey, they're gonna go in the game at some point. You gotta know that.
Jenn: I mean, my big thing was just the keyholes next to the coaches faces..
Ian: That was mine too.
Jenn: Cuz Big Brother's too smart and too good on details to.. There would have been none.
Jenn: There just would've been.. Unless they would've fought for a key..
Joe: Well, the good thing after today is.. There's only 3 coaches left.
Wil: And I'm not saying I'm gunning for coaches.
Jenn: I'm not saying that either.
**cuz we don't trust you, Joe, and we think you'll run to them immediately..
Wil: But if they are working together, it's not the worst outcome. But I feel.. Ya gotta work together at some point.
Joe's trying to gain a little ground back with his newbie compatriots.. with anyone, really..
Shane joins them out back and I stick around just to grab a screencap of the newly dubbed Captain America..
..alas. I really miss the scruff.
As I was saying, Joe's just trying to get back into the game this week, since he was completely left out of the loop last week... As we join Wil and Ashley at 2:15am, it seems Joe may be having some success..
OOps! Spoke too soon.. at 2:15am on Feed 3, Ash and Wil couldn't sleep, so they've just decided to get up and have some tea... decaf.. OK.. We'll join them now, and then I'll dive into flashback to get the 11:20pm til 1am stuff..
Ash: I'm so pissed.. When I saw the doctor, he gave me a shot on the left, and I was thinking I should ask him to do the right, cuz it was still hurting.. So now he's gonna come back tomorrow and do the other side.
Wil: I'm gonna go pee.
Wil: Where should we hang?
Ash: Are we locked out?
Wil: No, it's open.
Ash: How can you tell?
Wil: You can see the lawn chair.. Do you want sugar?
Ash: Let's go outside..
2:20am f3/4
Ash: This whole butt thing really puts a cramp in my style..
Wil: Whose plate is this?
Ash: Britney.
Wil: It's always Britney.. Either Janelle or Britney.. that always leave stuff out.
Ash: Disgusting.. Ohh.. this tea is good..
Wil: I just wonder if they'll hold true and put up Joe.
Ash: I'm so curious.
Wil: I mean, if they do put Joe up, it puts no blood on their hands. It would probably maybe even take some target off their back. What I just can't believe is that Frank and Danielle are that F'in stupid.
Ash: What do you mena? As their coaches?
Wil: To be alligned with them.
Ash: Yeah..
Wil: I think the only reason Frank feels so comfortable with Mike is because Mike plays in a pair.. and it was so obvious Mike threw it to him.. If we could somehow get the other side to put up Mike, I bet Frank would work with us..
Ash: I think Frank is almost scared of Shane.. and he's indebted to Boogie.. Yeah.. Boogie needs to go. So does Dan.. I'm just playing they both go during the double eviction..
Wil: That would be nice.. Ian made a comment, "You know I can't go back on my boys," referring to Dan and Boogie.
Ash: Ian is so obsessed with them..
Wil: You gotta get rid of the coaches, but we could get rid of them if we had the newbies with us..
Ash: Thank goodness we got rid of Janelle though.. At least that's one coach..
Wil: But it may work against us because at least she was a number..
Ash: I really don't wanna get put up on the block.
Wil: I don' tthink it'll be you.. It'll be me.
Ash: They see me as so easily..
Wil: If Joe stays up, he'll go home. I just hope it's a fast forward.. Let's go on fact.. These are the theories..
2:29a F3 - Wil theorizes about who is alligned with who. They wonder about Jenn's alliance..
Wil: You know? Keeping Joe in this game.. Just as a number? Could be a good thing for us.
Ash: I know.. We gotta see how noms go.
Wil: I was talking to him earlier tonight, and he was "so sorry" and all this bs.. So I definitely think that door is completely open for us.
Ash: He doesn't have anyone.. But I want so badly to backdoor Dan this week. Frank absolutely would. Because they know Dan would do the same thing to them.
Wil: Unless Dan's working with them.
Ash: But even so, it's such a big alliance, it never sticks..
Wil: And why would they waste a week on Joe?
Ash: And I'm really not worried about Joe in jury.. THey're playing their game and kind of screwing us. I'm glad we got out Janelle, but are they just playing us.. Are we just the chitlins to be picked off..
Wil: We haven't won anything.
Ash: Neither has Ian!
Wil: He keeps making predictions about what's going to happen, and he's always wrong.
Ash: And he cares so much about the coaches, it's disgusting. No.. The coaches have to get out.
Ash: I never know. Is he throwing competitions? He never wants to study with me. That's a red flag there.. And then he like sticks up for Janelle? I'm like, dude.. Go to bed.
Wil: omg.. I totally wanted to rip him a new one there. But.. It could be just the guys wanting to pick off the girls.. So maybe Britney's a lost cause..
Ash: She's so spiteful sometimes.
Wil: Danielle didn't wanna put Boogie up, because she's like, they'd vote him out.
Ash: SHe said that?
Wil: She said that's why I went up instead of Boogie, because she wanted Frank out, and they'd vote Boogie out.
Ash: I'd almost rather Danielle leave before Shane.. because I think he'd come with us against the coaches..
Wil: I'm almost afraid to ask him anything though, because it might go straight back to the coaches..
Wil: I dunno.. Maybe we're selling Jen short..
Ash: She would screw them for us. She just has a little advantage cuz she's in with the,m, which is good for us. I do trust her.. but there's no one else to trust.
Wil: Maybe if Joe..
Ash: I do think it's scary for us if Joe leaves this week, but he has to win PoV.
Wil: I just don't think Frank would miss the opportunity to take out a big player.
Ash: They're definitely upstairs scheming.. It's good for us. They're not gonna scheme to get us out.
Wil: If we had won HoH, I wouldn't have wasted it on Joe.
Ash: Me neither.
Wil: If we can just get them to do the dirty work.
**nope. that's your role. own it, tool.
Wil: But Ian is such a fan.. It gets in the way of him actually playing this f'ing game. There's one thing for sure.. They didn't want us winning HoH.
Ash: mm mm
Wil: We just need to get you better.
Ash: I know. It's imperative.
Wil: Who is that?
Ash: It's Joe.. This is our chance to talk to him..
2:40am Joe can't sleep either. He comes out and joins them.. and we get fishies.. and Joe's gone..
Ash: I don't even know what to say to him. I've been lying thru my teeth to him for the last week.
Wil: I know. I'm so done with lying..
Ash: Hopefully the doctor comes tomorrow before the competition.. Maybe it'll be one of those food ones.. That'll be good for me, cuz I don't have to move.
2:43a F3/4
Joe joins them..
Joe: Did ya'll go to sleep at all? I tried to for a while, then just gave up..
Wil: Tryin to find out what's going on tomorrow.. cuz we're not on lockdown..
Ash: Nomination Ceremony's always at like
Wil: 6..
Joe: They could lock us down at like 5 this morning? Last time it was like 5 or 6am. It might be something fairly easy.. Obviously it's not gonna be much if they haven't locked us down yet.
Wil: She thinks it's gonna be one of those food things..
Joe: God, I wish.
Wil: You talked to Shane? What's going thru his head?
Joe: He seems to think he's going up.
Ash: Really..
Joe: He put Frank up.
Wil: Could easily be me going up..
Joe: Seems pretty obvious it's gonna be me.
Wil: I just don't think they would waste..
Joe: I ws an 8 to 1 vote against him, but like you said, there are bigger fish to fry.. But we don't know what kind of deals they made to get that vote.
Wil: Well there wasn't a deal with either of us..
Joe: But Dan and Dnaielle.. My biggest upset was not knowing..
Wil: We didn't know which way they were really gonna vote.
Joe: But you all knew. You knew your vote.
Wil: Yeah..
Joe: I see your calls, but do you see why I was upset?
Ash: Of course.
Wil: I just knew I couldn't trust Janelle, and who knows, it may come back to shoot us all in the foot..
**ya think
Joe: The worst part is we don't know what deal they made.. Did they make it with Brit n Shane and Dan n ..
Wil: Mike is always more comfortable working with guys.. I think Britney, Dan, Danielle and Shane are working together..
Joe: So if they are, what's the deal? They didn't just all vote Janelle out for free. Cuz they saved Frank, basically.. Again. I'm sure we'll all know tomorrow night.. exactly where they stand.
Ash: Yeah.. We'll know a lot tomorrow.
Joe: And I didn't know any of that stuff that Janelle called Danielle. I just found out about that tonight.
Ash: Janelle was playing a dirty game.
Joe: Is that why you voted against her?
Ash: Yeah.
Ash: I guess you should'nt play this game personal, but it happens, I guess.
Joe: It's virtually impossible not to. You gotta try to remove yourself, but it's virtually impossible.
Ash: Shows that you're loyal though.
Joe: And it's probably gonna put me on the block. What worries me is the deals.. Frank said something about a prior season that made me think he's not gonna put Shane up. Frank was talking to Dan on the couch about how Brendon shouldn't have been put up at one point, because it took a big target out. If that's his philosophy, then Shane's not going on the block.
Wil: He's not, and he's pretending he is..
Joe: What it's probably gonna be is me and you.
Wil: Probably.
Joe: Well, that's probably gonna work for you.
Wil: It would make more sense to get me out than you out.
Joe: Yeah, but you would have the votes. Yeah... It can't be Shane, Brit, Dan or Danielle.. So if you think about it, it can only be you, me or Ashley. Unless they reneg on something..
Wil: I think you're right.. because they certainly didn't want us winning HoH today. They took us out.
Ash: Even if we wanted to save Janelle, we didn't have the votes.
Joe: I tried to tell Janelle that..
Wil: I really didn't appreciate when she asked me to swear on my dog..
**and you din't appreciate when she saved you, twice, but we'll move on.
Joe: Swearing doesn' tmean anything in this game. Yeah. I'm fully expecting you and me.. Unless they tell one of them they're a pawn..
Wil: While they try to backdoor someone else.
Joe: But they have some kind of deal .. They wouldn't have given Boogie that without some kind of safety.
3am Ashley gets up to take some advil.. Wil tells her to wait a little while longer.
Joe: You need to tell them to get you an xray.
Ash: They already fixed my left butt cheek, but now they need to fix my right one.
Joe: What'd they give you, cortisone?
Ash: Yeah.. It works like magic..
Wil: Are you gonna go to bed?
Ash: I don't know. I'm spazzing out about this.
Wil: I think I'm gonna go back to bed.. What are you gonna do?
Joe: I think I'm just gonna lay here a while.. Otherwise I'll just drive Dan crazy (tossing and turning).
3:01am Wil and Ash head inside and go back to bed.
3:14am After a few quiet minutes on the couch, Joe heads back inside and to bed..
Please refresh this post periodically as I fill in the details between 11:20pm and 1am.. :) ok, diving into flashback... NOW! :0) And.. Firefox just crashed and ate everything, so let's push back that reveal til 6 or 6:30am bbt..

My cats have giardia. It's some sort of intestinal parasite common in kittens—bonus: it can pass to humans! It's not all that big of a deal, really, but they do have to take medicine to get rid of it.
I say "they" because I don't actually know who has it. I took in a bag of cat shit to the vet and was all, "I don't know whose it is, but here is a bag of poop!"
I guess the rationale is that if one of them has it, all of them have it, so let's treat everyone.
Of course, that's great because all three of the cats are super thrilled to have me syringe liquid meds down their throats twice a day. (<—sarcasm) Something I have learned, however, is that, by FAR, Starfire is the pointiest of the cats.
See, Oreo and Ruby sort of just gave in. Sure, Oreo tries to hork up all the medicine afterward through a series of guttural coughs that are ultimately ineffective and Ruby stalks off all offended like, but I don't feel like I'm risking, say, a finger when I medicate them.
Starfire, however, has taken the administration of medicine as both a personal affront and an individual challenge to see just exactly how badly she can scratch the hell out of me.
(Answer: kind of a lot.)
Here's the thing though: Starfire may be able to kick my ass physically, but I am SMARTER than that small cat.
It turns out that once you incapacitate her tiny, razor sharp claws, she has no choice but to take her medicine like a good cat.
|Not so cocky now, are you, Sharpy?
We're five days into a ten-day/twice-a-day meds regimen and my pre-swaddling scratches are starting to heal. Starfire hasn't figured out how to break free of her blanket burrito and I feel as if I've conquered the cat world.

A portrait of former Gov. Lester Maddox, who frequently was at odds with newspapers during his term, was unveiled in the rotunda of the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta Thursday and featured a fish wrapped in a newspaper. The oil painting shows Maddox, who was governor from 1967 until 1971, in a seersucker suit standing in front of a table. On the table rests a portrait of his wife, a couple of peaches and behind the governor is a mullet wrapped in a newspaper. The fish and newspaper, said artist Bruce Hafley, are "a reminder of his (Maddox's) wit involving his opinion of the press." The oil portrait replaces a faded color photograph of Maddox.
Madonna went on the offensive in her running battle with the British press, telling reporters "I have nothing to apologize for" and defending her acting credentials. Madonna and husband Sean Penn are in London filming Shanghai Surprise but the brawls, sniping and media swarm have overshadowed their work. She complained about not being able to see anything of London because of the photographers.
Charlton Heston says he isn't interested in politics because "I'd rather play a senator than be one." Heston is joining Harry Belafonte on the political sidelines even though he thinks he could win the seat of Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif. Heston says he essentially made up his mind to stay out of politics while campaigning for President Reagan, realizing "I don't have it in my belly, the fire there."
Kurt Vonnegut says he and fellow writers were adding a drop of water to the ocean with their Thursday protest of South Africa's apartheid policy. Vonnegut, Susan Sontag, E.L. Doctorow, Rose Styron, William Styron, Galway Kinnell and Arthur Kopit each signed a facsimile of the pass book -- the papers South African blacks must carry -- and plan to send them to the South African government. Vonnegut admitted the protest was a mere gesture but said, "Little drops of water and little grains of sand make an ocean. This is all erosion and every little bit helps." Playwright Arthur Miller said he joined to "encourage those who are pawns of the regime to feel that they're not alone in the world."
Dancer Ginger Rogers, who danced her way to fame with Fred Astaire, has filed an $8 million lawsuit to block release of the Federico Fellini movie Ginger and Fred. Though the movie's dance couple is fictional, Rogers claims that the movie depicted Rogers in a false light, in part because the film's dance team is shown "as having been lovers."

Measuring the Bacchetta Aero Bar for LengthNovember 8, 2010
There's been a ton of discussions/confusion over this one. This *should* help to clear things up a bit. I'll keep this short and sweet. Measuring technique: I placed the bar down flat on a uhm…flat surface. This is virtually the same as it is installed on your bike. I am measuring from the edge of the bar, just to the Read More

Creating your own trail is about following your own adventure. Setting aflame that spark in your heart. From my four amazing, humbling years on the trail, here are a few of the lessons I've learned along the way.
- Things don't always go as you plan. Flat tires. Road closures. Flight delays. Wrong flight booked. Rainstorms. Thunderstorms. Wildfires. Mexican parties. Lost luggage. Leaking water bottle on a two day trek. It's okay. Breathe. Things will work out and you'll be where you need to be in order to learn while being on the trail.
- The best trails are the ones we create. You don't need step by step guide telling you everything you need to see, do, or stop at along the way. Create your own routes. Choose your own destinations. Form your own multi-sport hike-scramble-raft adventure using a map and information online or from a guide book. Don't be afraid to venture where no one has been.
- Be open to the opportunities on the trail. You never know who you'll meet or what events may unfold on your journey. Leave time, space, and flexibility to be open to the opportunities that present themselves on the trail. Don't forget your headlamp and fire-starter.
- Sometimes creating your own trail means pushing past boundaries. You may be faced with some walls here and there. That's okay. Grab a hammer and pummel through. You're stronger than you think, you're tougher than you think, and you will get through a lot more than you think. It's all a part of the learning and growing process of life on the trail.
- Don't be afraid to take a timeout when things get too much. Reflecting is a part of making sure you're still on the trail you want to be. I've found journaling, meditating, and spending time by bodies of water have all helped me to reflect on my current path and allowed me to evaluate if it's still taking me where I want to be. You learn a lot on the trail, and with new experiences and new memories, sometimes a new trail appears.
Bonus Tip: Don't forget to have fun! 😉 #CreateYourTrail

Boot Camp versus Bed
What on earth was I thinking? It was a chilly 2 degrees on a Saturday morning and I was forgoing a lie in and hot coffee for an outdoor boot camp?
I mean, I love exercising outdoors, but really? I had to drag myself out of my toasty bed and force myself to get dressed. I was secretly hoping for a flat tire, but my trusty blue steed never lets me down.
It's ok, I thought. If I could train in 40 degrees in Australia, I could certainly do the same in the cold here. I tried to convince myself. Mind over matter, right? But then it started to rain. Ok, drizzle. But it was an icy, cold, windy kind of drizzle! It was right about then that I realized I was cycling through an industrial area and I was pretty sure I was meant to be at a park. I may have cursed as I took off my gloves to check the directions and saw that my supposedly fully charged phone was now completely void of life. I was lost, cold and really contemplating heading home and straight back to bed.
But no, I knew I'd regret it. Besides, Helle, the instructor of this Saturday morning craziness, was expecting me. I'd said I would definitely be there. So I pushed on with only a vague idea of where I was going. After a while I came across some frosty greenery and saw a bunch of women and a load of exercise equipment. My mood started to pick up! I'd found the place, and what's more, in my otherwise tech-dependent world, using only my brain for a compass.
Helle is the pocket rocket behind Eindhoven Bootcamp – a fitness company solely for women. Besides boot camp, there are running groups, X Outdoor, Bodyburn and Kidsfit classes. She introduced herself and we had a brief chat about where I was from, if I had any injuries, and what kind of exercise I'd done before. And then the clock chimed 9.45 – starting time!
Helle led us on a light jog to warm up. I wished I had brought some tissues because the cold was making my nose run faster than my legs. We did a few other moves in and around agility ladders, and then we did some arm work. I use the word "some"rather lightly. Let me digress. I have two young children. My arms are pretty strong from lifting them up and spinning them round and scrambling up climbing frames with them. But I found all of that was no match for these extreme arm exercises. Ouch.
We moved on to a kind of circuit with battle ropes and burpees, planks and pushups, skipping ropes and sit ups. We used medicine balls, resistance bands, weights, ropes, the fence, the ground, and our own bodies! There was a lot of variety and encouragement, and I am sure I worked every muscle, and then some. The timing of each station was just right. I never got bored but also felt relieved when I could move on to the next one. Before I knew it, the heart pumping, muscle burning workout was moving into the cool down phase and then boot camp was done and dusted. I felt refreshed and surprisingly warm, and hadn't even realized that I'd been exercising for 90 minutes! If I'd known that earlier, I may have just stayed in bed. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
Final score: Boot Camp 1 – Bed 0

About Us
CB1 Poetry has held regular readings in Cambridge since the 1990s, and in 2007 began a major new series of readings in the city centre. We feature well known and award winning guest poets as well as talented up and coming writers from Cambridge and further afield.
CB1 Poetry has always been about providing opportunities for poets to develop their talent before a discerning audience, so most of our events feature open mic floor spots. These afford less experienced poets the opportunity to give a 2-minute reading in front of a large audience.
Events also offer books for sale, as well as refreshments from the nearby bar before and after the readings, and during a typically 15 minute interval. The venue is open from 7:30pm, with readings commencing at 8pm and finishing by 10pm.
Recent readers have included up and coming writers and well-know poetry names such as Maurice Riordan, Clare Pollard, Emily Berry, Mark Waldron, Hugo Williams, George Szirtes, Christopher Reid, Roddy Lumsden, Annie Freud, Frances Leviston, Tim Wells, Patience Agbabi, Don Paterson, Helen Mort, Luke Kennard, Matthew Hollis, Allison McVety, Gwyneth Lewis, Tim Liardet, Hollie McNish and Owen Sheers.
We hope to see you soon to hear some amazing poetry.

CB1 Poetry events are open to the whole community. We seek to provide a welcoming environment for all participants.
Through open mic evenings and guest poet readings, we provide a platform for local writers and the development of new talent before an appreciative and discerning audience. We also offer the opportunity to listen to and appreciate well established writers.
We are non profit making and are grateful to receive support for our guest readings from Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridge City Council.

I found it hard to get numbers on global primary production, but apparently it's somewhere around 50-60 $Gt / year$ for carbon content in the terrestrial production, and a similar figure for the oceans. Global oil and coal extraction together are around 10 $Gt/year$, only a part of which is pure carbon (iirc, around 80%). Since carbon in the air actually increases, does that mean that most or all of the carbon fixed in Net Primary Productivity go back into the atmosphere through consumption and destruction of the biomass?
I was assuming that the biosphere in total was fixing more carbon that it emitted, and that the surplus was what turned into oil and coal. But with these figures it looks a lot more like a full circle that nets to zero input / output. Which is true, or is that unknown?
