Sintanaro was leaning against the stall door watching the peredhel groom her horse. They may not be leaving for an hour but it was obvious to the man she was more at ease now than when he first went to her room. However, light conversation seemed useless and even his challenge was disregarded. The woman seemed lost in her own world.
Suddenly Anoriel shot through the main door with two men behind him, yet when he took in the current scene he stopped.
The dark hair man pushed himself up from the stall door. "I'll be back sweetheart."
The two men passed him as he made is way to where the leader now stood. Anoriel had heard his comment. "Do you intentionally try to anger every shieldmaiden or just the two we are currently protecting?"
The man let out a slight laugh. "Our shieldmaidens seemed to be a bit preoccupied these days. This one won't engage unless it is to roughen up Rohirrim men and our precious Rholarowyn is now seeking solace in the arms of a man over the hilt of her sword. Like the elves, perhaps the time of the shieldmadiens has passed."
Anoriel remained cool, "Ryomer needs another hour before we can leave, go see if there is anything you can do to help."
The man left easily enough leaving the leader standing at the barn entrance and two new men now replaced the one as Earendil's protectors.
Anoriel was well aware of the situation at Goronor's farm. He had sent Sintanaro there 2 days ago. It was the day following Ryomer and Eari's arrival and new orders were sent with him. First the men of the knighthood who were still there, Dewelgen and Tyrelles, along with Lienoril were to be on high alert due to the new information and threat against Rholarowyn and her son. Second, they were to remain at the farm until the group from the Noble house arrived. The message concluded that the group was going to be delayed a day possibly two.
When Sintanaro returned the following day Anoriel was more than surprised to learn of Rholarowyn's actions. Not only had she compromised herself and her safety by engaging in a late night tryst with Estaron, Goronor's brother, she had also begun training Lark, a shy young woman, in the basic skills of archery. Unbeknownst to the leader, and to add to the current complications, Sintanaro and Rholarowyn had some obvious unresolved issues that the dark haired man had clearly neglected to tell him. To say there reunion was tumultuous was a bit of an understatement.
Sintanaro now entered the house and made his way to the healing area. The dark haired man entered and let out a long, slow whistle after a brief look at the Rohirrim's face.
"Perhaps you should stick to those Innkeeper's daughters." The man joked.
"Leave him be!" the healer ordered pushing the man aside and placing a new cold towel upon the Rohirrim's face as he rested on the fabric cot. "He needs to rest."
"I'm here to help." Sintarano smiled turning a chair around and taking a seat in it backwards.
"I'm sure you are." The healer replied impatiently. "Then perhaps you could keep yourself quiet!"
"Now Alessan, you know silence is not my strong suits."
"Yes, I am well aware of how useful you are with your mouth as you let me know every chance you get." The healer then turned and left the room.
"Yep, I think she's starting to like me."
The Rohirrim voice was low and slightly muffled by the towel covering his face though the sarcasm could not be missed. "You think they all like you."
"Well…I'm not the one with the bruised and bloody face done by the hands of a woman now am I?"
"No, your beautiful face has once again been preserved."
"You know," Sintanaro began as he scooted his chair closer to his friend. "I have a theory here."
"Wonderful." Ryomer replied with more sarcasm.
"Perhaps Earendil has some unresolved issue with her husband and well, since you are both Rohirrim, you're just getting the brunt of it."
"Perhaps," Ryomer began slowly, "you are confusing yourself with me."
The dark haired man raised his head in slight offense as the Rohirrim continued. "Speaking of unresolved issues…Anoriel told me what happened."
"Ha!" the man shot back and rose from his chair. "That woman can hold a grudge!"
"Really?" The Rohirrim turned his head slightly, "Even after you apologized?"
Sintanaro turned towards the north facing window and stared out.
"You didn't apologize did you?" Ryomer finally stated. "Well then what did you expect after 12 years."
Just then Alessan reentered the room with a fresh batch of herbs and a cup of cool tea. She glanced disapprovingly at Sintanaro and then made her way over to the cot. "Drink this; it should help with the clotting and the pain." Ryomer sat up slightly and took a few small sips.
"I talked to Lienoril." Sintanaro said turning from the window and obviously changing the subject. "Turns out Zochella now has employment at Daenora's place. That's why he separated the group. He didn't want her to know that you and Earendil were with him."
The Rohirrim sat up a little higher though he maintained his grip on the mug. "Zochella…" his voice slightly raised. "…here?"
"Yes and just as vengeful as ever it appears." Sintanaro replied.
"Did she talk to him?"
"No, she got to Rholarowyn but that was enough to shake him up."
"Lienoril severed that tie long ago…what would cause her to leave the south and forsake her allegiance to the Corsairs?"
"Who knows?" Sintanaro shrugged nonchalantly taking his seat again. "Red heads have a mind of their own."
The Rohirrim sat up fast, too fast, and became light headed.
"Whoa…" Sintanaro reached out and steadied the man on one side while Alessan jumped to assist on the other. "Where's the fire?"
"I need to speak to Anoriel!" Ryomer asserted.
"OK…alright…" Sintanaro heard the urgency and immediately left the room. Alessan helped ease the man back on the cot. "You are not going to get out of here if you don't keep still!"
Within 10 minutes both men were in the room. Still needing to rest Ryomer remained flat on the cot and after Alessan had been dismissed the two men pulled up a couple of wooden chairs next to the Rohirrim. Ryomer then looked to his leader. "Do you know why Lienoril disobeyed orders and broke up the group?
Anoriel looked at Sintanaro and then back to the Rohirrim. "Yes, to avoid being revealed by a woman from his past and to protect you and Earendil."
"Yes, but it was not just any woman, it was Zochella…" The Rohirrim continued. "…and why? Why would she let Lienoril know she was there when she didn't have too?"
Sintanaro began to follow Ryomer's thinking and continued. "There was a reason she wanted to get him out of there but went through Rholarowyn to get him the message." The man paused for a second. "Perhaps she isn't another threat but instead was giving Lienoril a chance to get away."

Popular opinion says that the bigger your image files, the more chances you have to sell them, and eventually, the more cash you will get. But this is only in theory…
In practical terms, and contrary to what popular forums say, the best you can do is to buy a camera that will give you a decompressed RAW file of 50 Megabytes or more. There are affordable cameras for pro and semipro shooters that will do this. However, if your finances are not yet there because 14 cents an image does not allow for lots of expending, and your existing camera only allows you to get 12.1 mega pixels that give you a meager decompressed 30.3 megabytes file, the question is: do I want to upsize the file to 50MB or more?
If you say yes, how are you going to process substantial shoots of several hundred images? In batch processing? Are you aware that your results are going to be for many images unpredictable and time consuming? Why would you want to expend time hidden in your digital dungeon when the rule of thumb in order to make some money today (and let's not forget about the 14 cents an image) is to generate lots of images… Volume, volume, volume!!! is what will guarantee good positioning in most ranked search engines and more selling possibilities as a result – if the picture is a good one, of course.
But if all the above does not convince you, and you choose to strain your eyes in front of your computer screen, at least strain them doing your upsizing, technically defined as interpolation, correctly. You have two options for doing this:
- You can send the resulting file from your camera, any camera, and our technical team will interpolate the images if necessary, or
- You can interpolate your files yourself and send the results to us and wait to see what we say…
But what is interpolation? Here are the three basic concepts:
- Interpolation is increasing the size in pixels of digital images, therefore allowing a bigger reproduction of an image that was not originally produced to yield such reproduction size. Interpolation is also known as image resize or even image upsize.
- Image resize is not a mathematic miracle that happens when you need to increase the total number of pixels. You can obtain a bigger size image file at the expense of losing definition with this operation. A bigger file is obtained by carefully adding the best approximation in color and intensity based on the values of surrounding pixels, in areas where the damage caused to the image is going to be lower. Unfortunately the damage will occur.
- The most frequent types of interpolation algorithms are the nearest neighbor, bilinear and bicubic. The Bicubic is the standard algorithm in many image editing programs used by professional photographers as it produces sharper images and hence better overall quality.
There are many programs that allow you to interpolate your images but there are subtle differences among them; therefore, every photographer has to carefully evaluate which one is the best that suits her/his needs, as the result can vary depending on the interpolation algorithm and the type of subject. For example, resizing an image of an architectural masterpiece is different from resizing a view of the Amazon jungle.
So, should I interpolate my files? The decision is finally yours, of course, but if you do so it's important that you:
- Know the technical characteristics of your files to know how far up you can go.
- Check the image at 100% of visualization to verify that the result is correct, and that it has not become pixelated or is displaying artifacts.
- Think that sometimes less is more, and good quality files are better than large defective files. If you interpolate do it well. Otherwise just stick to the nominal file size that your camera can give you.
Remember that it is always cheaper to buy a better camera than to chain yourself to your computer screen upsizing your images; please use your time intelligently and get out and shoot more images as volume is really what is needed when photographers are accepting 14 cents for their images…ok, ok, even for $3 dollars per image!
Here is an example of what a badly interpolated file looks like:
The image received was certainly not really crisp – an otherwise ordinary image that does not have
excuses not to be razor sharp…
…but an enlarged detail of that picture at 100% of visualization shows the problem.

The requirements for a gender dysphoria diagnosis, and therefore access to medical interventions such as surgeries or hormones, reinforce a male/female binary and do not allow room for variability in how a transgender person identifies. Transgender individuals who wish to access medical interventions must reflect these regulatory requirements in order to receive a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. So what is the experience of transgender individuals who do not reflect this narrative? How do they develop identity, form community, and make decisions regarding their transition? Using feminist methodology and grounded theory methods, I conducted a research study with ten transgender-identified individuals …

Earlier this week the world received the first ever photographs of an actual black hole, and now Soundgarden fans are petitioning to name the phenomenon after the band's late frontman Chris Cornell.
"'Black Hole Sun,' written by Chris Cornell is without a doubt Soundgarden's most recognizable and most popular song, and one of the biggest anthems of the 90's," wrote Giuliana Jarrin, a fan from Ecuador who started the petition via change.org. "For this reason, and the impact Chris Cornell had in the lives of so many and music itself, I ask NASA, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration and all the astronomers and scientists involved in this discovery, to name this black hole after Chris Cornell. This would be a "surreal" and amazing way to honor his life and his contribution to music."
At the time of writing, the petition has over 30,000 signatures and counting. However, the effort may be for naught, as the black hole has since been named. Hawaiian language professor Larry Kimura was granted the honor and named the black hole Powehi, a phrase that means "embellished dark source of unending creation."
"It is awesome that we, as Hawaiians today, are able to connect to an identity from long ago, as chanted in the 2,102 lines of the Kumulipo, and bring forward this precious inheritance for our lives today," Kimura said in a statement.

"The Missing Links of the Attraction Law"
Don't get mad, but I think the "Law of Attraction" has missing links, and I am by no means a guru on the subject. Many people find their happiness starts to dissipate as they participate in this process of attracting their dreams and creating their reality. Why? is my question.
I am most miserable when I realize, all of the techniques, if you want to call them that, have failed and I am not achieving the happiness and peace I so long for, let alone the physical manifestations so many people brag about. What am I doing wrong?? Then I realized over a week in absolute hell emotionally and physically, that there was a missing link, at least for me. Pushing the Universe, coercing reality, and thinking constantly about something was taking away the actual enjoyment of the things I had already created. So what was the use of creating them in the first place? On to the next miserable moment of creating everything for nothing. Is that what I was doing??? Creating my life and never really enjoying it. That was the moment I realized, unless I learn, and I mean teach myself the tools to enjoy what I am creating, it is all for not.
Another week of pure hell and I believe I have emerged from my cocoon a butterfly ready to soar in the peace and happiness that allows me to enjoy one moment, and then another moment, and then another. " Living in the precious present right now moment" is the thing that allows the creating to come forth and actually happen. If you allow the Universe to bring into the 3-D existence your dreams and reality without a time limit, or specific outcome, the joy comes back and the peace that passes all understanding as Jesus talked about, lives in you. Heaven on earth.
I am happy most moments now and when I let my mind drift to EGO thinking of the future or the past, I concentrate on exactly the moment I am in. No more anxiety, fear or days when you feel as if there is the rain cloud above your head. I do not want to be Eeyore, but Winnie himself. The always happy bear no matter what.
It isn't easy to stop the chatter in your head or to be "in the moment" but it is sure worth the effort, at least for me, to continue to perfect this tool, as it has brought a whole new dimension to co creation in my life.
Till next time....see I am even enjoying writing again!!!

Historic information
The maize B73 reference genome has been revised four times
since its initial release as a BAC-by-BAC assembly in 2009. As
of 2016, the maize nomenclature committee has adopted naming
standards to accommodate multiple Zea species, multiple
accessions, and multiple versions. This recommendation is
available here.
The B73 reference assemblies have been known by these names:
The current representative reference genome for Maize is B73
RefGen_v5 (also known as Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0).
The current B73 assembly version, RefGen_v5, released in January
2020, was sequenced and assembled along with a core set of 25
inbreds known as the NAM founder lines by the
NAM Consortium
using PacBio long reads and mate-pair strategy. Scaffolds were
validated by BioNano optical mapping, and ordered and oriented
using linkage and pan-genome marker data. RNA-seq data from
multiple tissues were used to annotate each genome using a
pipeline that includes BRAKER, Mikado, and PASA.
The first three assemblies, B73 RefGen_v1, B73 RefGen_v2, and
B73 RefGen_v3 were all based on a BAC (bacterial artificial
chromosome) sequencing strategy. B73 RefGen_v4 assembly
utilized a new approach that relied on PacBio Single Molecule
Real Time (SMRT) sequencing at Cold Spring Harbor to a depth
of 60X coverage with scaffolds created via the assistance of
whole genome restriction mapping (aka Optical Mapping). Error
correction of PacBio sequences was facilitated by Illumina short
read DNA sequencing performed at Washington University.
Annotation was accomplished in the Ware laboratory at Cold
Spring Harbor using the Maker pipeline (Campbell, 2014) and
~111,000 long read PacBio transcipts from six maize tissues.
More complete details in the B73 RefGen_v4 assembly can be found at
or by reading the
See the Assembly Manifesto
for more information.
The current version is
also known as "B73 RefGen_v5".
The assembly sequence includes all 10 chromosomes.
The sequence can be downloaded
from ENA
from GenBank
Gaps within BACs are indicated by runs of 100 N's. Gaps
between contigs are indicated by runs of 1000 N's.

Note: The current B73 gene model annotation is part of a two-set
release process. The first set of models were generated using
accession-specific RNA-seq from 10 tissues and the models
obtained from these tissues were refined using evidence from
B73 full-length cDNAs and EST data. These represent high-quality
gene models expressed in the 10 tissues. This annotation will
be augmented with a second set of gene models combining both
ab-initio prediction and evidence. The second set of gene models
are targeted for release in March 2020 or upon publication of
the data manuscript.
With increasing numbers of full reference genomes with structural
annotation becoming available, it has become necessary to establish naming
standards that span genomes and versions. The recommendation is available
Important note: Sequential gene ids do not imply relative position.
Although the Zm00001e.1 gene models were called and numbered sequentially,
they may move as the assembly is improved.
The current reference gene model set is named Zm00001e.1. Gene models within
this set are prefixed with "Zm00001e". Associations between the v4
gene models (Zm0001d.2) and the 5b+ gene models are available
The Zm00001d.2 gene model set is the recommended gene model set for
For RefGen_v3, the 5b+ gene model set is recommended. Other
gene model sets for RefGen_v3 are provided for comparison. Due to
the difficulty of determining when two gene models are the same
(or when one represents an alternative splicing of the same
genomic material), there are no plans to merge the sets.

The seed source for both Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0 and
Zm-B73-REFERENCE-GRAMENE-4.0 descended from PI 550473, but was
maintained for several generations prior to being used as the
source seed. The seeds closest to those used for sequencing v4 were deposited
at the NCRPIS (accession number: PI 677128).
The B73 source for the BAC libraries (BACs with prefix "b" prepared in
Rod Wing's lab; BACs with prefix "c" prepared in Peter deJong's lab)
was PI 550473.
When requesting seed from the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station,
ask for any lot descended from the Coe PI 550473 lines.
The stock was received directly by the North Central Regional Plant
Intoduction Station from Arnel Hallauer and has been maintained by the
quality-maintenance procedures at the PI Station. Ed Coe reports that,
"The results of QC lab checks for constancy in PI 550473 have been excellent."
The same source was used for the IBM mapping population. Maps produced
at Missouri used 302 lines of this population, providing unmatched precision
(resolution is at the intra-BAC level). These maps anchor the fingerprint-based
contig assemblies to chromosome location.
High-Molecular-Weight DNA was prepared by Jack Gardiner in the lab at
Missouri and shipped to Clemson (Wing's lab at the time) and to deJong's lab
(just at the time his lab was moving to California) for BAC preparation.
NSF grant reports have documented the details, and specifics for the materials,
preparation, characterization, and final assembly of the contig framework can be found

A Reference Genome is a haploid representation of a genome as
DNA sequence with a defined coordinate system, and accession
and version identification. A Reference genome is usually
assembled de novo, rather than relying on related genomes for
assembly of small DNA fragments (which would be a reference
guided assembly). A Reference Genome usually includes the
structural annotations, or gene models, derived from the
sequence assembly. A Reference Genome is almost always a work
in progress that gets better with the additional new data over
time. Data for improvement is collected continually, and at
certain times, new Reference Genome versions come out that
incorporate this data. B73 RefGen_v3 is such an updated
A Representative Genome is a reference-quality genome
which is considered to be representative for a species. B73 is
the representative maize genome.
Changes to the assembly include:
Use the Ensembl assembly converter tool
at Gramene.
There is no converter yet available for translating between
v4 and v5 positions, but chain files are available
(CyVerse login required),
which can be used with

to convert sets of coordinates. Be aware that features on the
unplaced scaffolds in the v4 assembly will not be correctly
translated to the v5 assembly.

Swing Into The Saddle In Hungary
- 21 Apr 2015 9:00 AM
Hungary is an ideal destination for horse-lovers and there aren't many countries that offer such a wide range of opportunities. You can find horse farms all across the country, offering fine horses, accommodation and riding courses all at once. Hungarians take riding seriously, quality is strictly measured here: the quality of services is monitored and the horse farms rated by the Hungarian HorseTourism Association, rewarding the best with symbolic horseshoes.
Horse riding vacations are for everyone of a normal fitness level, whether beginner or pro.
New to horse riding? Start out on a lunge line to learn the basic position, balance and control on a moving horse. When you're comfortable with the basics, riding classes in the enclosed riding arena will bring you closer to gaining control over your horse.
If you're already fit and able to trot, canter and gallop at ease, you can head out onto the guided tours – a dream come true for every rider. Akadémia Riding School is the best place to let your little ones fall in love with horses – kids can start to learn riding here at the tender age of two. At the picturesque Hilltop Farm in Gödöllö cute ponies await the smallest child.(www.hilltopfarm.hu).
Already a pro and looking to try out something new? Well, try your hand at western riding, dressage or show-jumping. If you want to ride like a true cowboy, head to the Nagy Lovasudvar in Zsámbék (it's not far from Budapest) and learn the tricks of the Western-style. At the Akademia Horse riding school, you can try show-jumping and cross-country "hacks". For full information, have a look at our countrywide list of riding stables.
Even if you're too scared to jump into the saddle, a horse-holiday can offer a lot of fun. Many horse farms offer spectacular horse shows, bringing alive the horsemanship of the Magyars.
The Great Plain has particularly strong traditions when it comes to breathtaking stunts, so head to the area around Hortobágy and Kiskunság and see what the Hungarian wranglers (called csikós) have up their sleeves – applaud them when they complete the so-called Puszta-five, riding five horses at once while standing on their bare backs.
You don't necessarily have to travel hundreds of kilometres to witness some horse-back action, though. Just 35 km out of Budapest in the neighbourhood of the Castle of Gödöllő the Lázár-brothers - Hungary's coach-driving world champions - have established the lazar lovas park (Lazar Horse Park,) their own piece of paradise combining romantic rural atmosphere with the offer of a professional horse base ).
A couple of years ago a truly spectacular horse show has been established in the heart of the Budapest as well – the National Gallop or vagta turns the Heroes' Square into a race track of 6200 metres for horses and riders from all over the country to show off their skills.
This event normally takes place in mid September. (More detaiIs as they become available). Equally popular is the riding show and international hussar-meetup of Ópusztaszer usually organised in May, the Nyeregszemle, bringing alive centuries-old horse-riding traditions.
For maximum speed, head to Budapest's horse racing venue, the Kincsem Park.
But who is Kincsem? Well, the 84-hectare park was named after a legendary race horse who won every single race she took part in. Actually, Hungary has a great number of fine race horses – the result of centuries of meticulous horse breeding. Head to the Museum of Agriculture to find out more.
Horse racing was introduced in Hungary by Count István Széchenyi and gained popularity very quickly. Today, the Kincsem Park is the number one address to see horses at speed with various races over all kinds of distances. Don't miss this activity on December 31st which is a local tradition.

Dear Followers,
I'm having another dilemma and could use all of your wonderful advice and experience to guide me through! As some of you may know, I've been unemployed for close to five months now and I'm constantly searching for another full time opportunity. Recently, I had an interview with a great organization that has a job title similar to what I'm looking for and the capabilities to train, support, and help me grow! However, the pay is terrible, the insurance benefits are non-existent, and it's located in a place I've never been to (other than for the interview), and is 2.5 hours away from everyone I love and care about. With that being said, let me paint you a better picture….
I have a few strong passions in life: music, animals, writing, and the arts. Over the past couple of months, I've tried to figure out what I really want out of a career and what would make me happy. I'm a fairly eccentric person (as you all know), but when it comes to my life style, I'm very old fashioned and thrive on following a routine and have strong family values. But, since I was young, I've always wanted to be some sort of famous (hopefully for a good thing). And with my passion for entertaining and music, I thought being a radio DJ might be a great career. However, it's an extremely difficult industry to get into and very cut-throat. Owners of stations are always changing and individuals are losing jobs left and right. Most of the time, you're really not free with what you want to do, and have to follow a set format.
But, what a thrill it could be! Currently, I host a show on a college radio station every week and I enjoy it because I'm allowed to play and say whatever I want (as long as I don't break FCC guidelines). This new opportunity would allow me to get my foot in the door and I would be a real DJ trained on real equipment!
However, current DJ's and station owners that I've talked to have stated that the radio industry has definitely died down over the years and it's 10 times more competitive.
So, it leaves me to wonder, if I'm offered this position, do I take it and leave everything I love for the chance to join an industry that I'm curious to be a part of, or, do I take/search for a position that involves one of my other passions (the arts, animals, etc) and provides better pay, and keep my show on a college radio station and grow that following and my skills there?
It's never easy making a crazy life decision, but I know that my choice will impact more than just me (no matter what one I make). If I look at my core values, I realize that being with my family, having time for myself, and doing hobbies/activities that I love come first before any career that I could possibly dream of. But, it would be great if a passion/hobby of mine could turn into a career.
At this point, I just want to hide underneath the covers and continue binge watching Chrisley Knows Best…but at some point I need to really examine my options and think about what's best for not only myself, but the people I love.
And, this is the part where you come in. Have you ever been faced with a situation where you were struggling to figure out if you should take a position that you were passionate about that provided some flaws or a position that you know you would do well in and receive benefits, but you might not be as thrilled about?
Please comment and share your stories regarding passion vs. paycheck! Thanks in advance!

So I was thinking on my last long run before the LA Marathon this past weekend, how do I break down these training runs? I thought it might be interesting to some (maybe none?) to let you inside how I get through the long run and what I'm thinking about during the miles. I think that it's simply imperative for me to break up the run into smaller increments and get through each part of the run like that, and not focus on the run as a whole. When I start out I think about the first three miles and how I run that all the time. It's a 5k. Once you get those down, I subtract 3 from 20 and then think about the number 17 instead of 20. I think it's much less daunting and much more manageable.
Then from 4-10, I think of that as a 10k. It's six miles, and you can break that down to be two sets of 3 miles, or just 6 miles. I try my hardest to tell myself to relax and to let my arms drop every now and then or else my back will get too tight by the end of my run. I focus on breathing and just relaxing. I tell myself a lot to just let it go and keep moving forward. This is the hardest part of the run for me because most of my long runs are out and backs and this is the part where you just keep running further and further out. Once I hit 5-8, I am usually in the zone and moving right along without much thought. I make sure to release my shoulders every now and then and also focus on relaxing. If I don't relax, things get ugly.
Then I hit mile 10. This is where things usually start to look up a little bit because I'm finally turning around and can re-trace my steps back home. Once I know I've made it "out" and I just have to make it back, things become a little bit easier. It's almost a game to see the same things I saw on the way out. I think a lot about the fact that I've already made it ten miles and I just have to make it back home and then I'm done. Usually around miles 12-14 my feet start to hurt a little bit since I've been on my feet for around two hours at this point. I keep breaking it down and keep moving forward. Once mile 15 comes around I know I have 5 left and that is a relief, because I KNOW I can run that far and I also am getting closer and closer to my house.
Mile 16-18 are usually where I start getting a little tired and weird. My mind starts to wander to weird things, for example what I'm going to eat later, if I'll take a nap and how I'll feel the next day. I start to switch up my running form just a little bit at this point to keep my feet a little fresher and try to make me feel better. This is where I struggle, because once I hit about 18.5 or 19, I know I'm basically done. I have one mile to go and then I'm home. I know how far a lot of different landmarks are from my house and when I hit those it's like I have new energy, in a weird, hobbly, awkward energy kind of way.
During a long run I really focus on breaking it down and running it for myself not for time. If I stop to walk at all, I will make sure I only walk for a minute and then run again. I do have a lot of stop lights that I run through so that sometimes gives me a little unexpected break too. I know that breaking down the long run makes it much more attainable for me and I really am glad I found a way that works for me.
Breaking down a marathon for me goes like this. Get to the 3 mile mark, you have 10 miles to go before the half marathon point. 6 miles is going to get you to the 10k mark, which means you are almost half way to the half marathon mark. 10 miles means you have a 5k to the half marathon mark. Half Marathon mark, you only have to run what you've just run to complete the race. 3 more miles after the half marathon mark and you've only got 10 miles left in the race. 4 miles and your at the 20 mile marker. 20 mile marker, you have 6.2 miles to go, which is a 10k or 2 5ks. Get three miles done and you have 3 more to go till the end. Then it's just counting down those miles to the finish. I just think each step is a step closer to the finish, the faster I go the faster it's over with at that point.
Does that even make sense?

Coastal Scents Revealed Palette - Naked Dupes
- 17 of the 20 shadows in the Revealed Palette are dupes for shadows in the Naked 1 & 2 palettes
- 2 shades in the Naked 1 palette are very similar to 2 shades in Naked 2, and Half Baked is in both Naked palettes. Those shades have the same dupes in the Revealed palette.
- I wasn't able to find dupes for 3 Naked shadows
- 3 Revealed shadows don't seem to be dupes of the Naked shadows
- While you will notice that many of the Revealed shades are color matches, none of them contain glitter, and a few of the Urban Decay shadows do. So certain "dupes" will still have that difference.
- I'm uploading a review on the new Cover Girl TruMagic products! It'll be on my main channel this evening.
- Did a lot of online Christmas shopping over the past couple of days!
- I had an interesting dream before waking up-- I'm on a relay team (with a REALLY random assortment of people from my past), and we're running through an obstacle course that's set up in a big office building. It's like a giant adult track meet, and I had superhuman speed. Clearly a dream and not reality!!

David Cage is a developer who needs no introduction, but as there's a space at the top of this page, I'm going to give him one anyway. He's the founder and CEO of Quantic Dream, the developer behind Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain and now Beyond: Two Souls.
Amid the chaos of gamescom last week, we sat down at the Radisson Blu in Cologne to discuss the gambles behind Heavy Rain, the ways in which TV writing is influencing Quantic Dream, and the personal inspiration for Beyond.
Q: Before we talk about Beyond, I have a couple of questions about Heavy Rain. I know you've said that you were unhappy with the way the game turned out, but looking back at it now, what is your favourite scene? Was there one moment that stood out for you?
David Cage: There is one scene that I particularly like, it's "Father and Son" - the scene from the beginning of the game where you look after your son. What I like about it is that it's a limited environment. I like the fact that the light is dwindling, and that you see darkness coming, in real-time into the house. And I like the fact that you can decide what kind of father Ethan should be. Whatever you decide, it makes sense - it's consistent with the characterisation and story. You can be this very nice character who really went through hard times but at the same time does his best to take of the second son - you give him food, help him with his homework, put him to bed. Or you can be this father who is totally wrecked by pain, playing basketball outside in the rain and watching videos of happy times, leaving his son, leaving his life. Both work in the context. You decide, you make the characterisation, you make Ethan the character you want.
Q: That scene was the second one you showed off. The first time I saw you in person was when you were presenting that very level, in a room upstairs at this same hotel...
DC: I remember that. I remember how scared we were. I mean, it's crazy because on Heavy Rain, the first scene we shot was the fight with Mad Jack - the rain and the mud. [we thought], "No big deal, it's going to work for everyone." Then we thought, "What's next?". We had a couple of scenes that would make everybody happy, then we thought, "No, we should show Father and Son."
We had many discussions internally at Quantic Dream, and at Sony, saying, "Well, are you sure? It's a very slow scene, not much happens. What will people think?" It was a tough decision, we were very nervous to show it upstairs - I totally remember it. The scene was about 40 minutes of this father taking care of his son, and we were really wondering what people were going to think. And at some point we said, "You know what? This is what the game is about. If they hate it, fair enough, but we are true to the game we make."
Q: And it paid off.
DC: Yeah, the feedback after we showed the scene was surprisingly good. I think people didn't know what to expect after that first fight scene, and when they saw a more emotional moment, where we played with the silence and the darkness coming, they said, "Wait a minute, this is not another game. This is something new."
It's funny, because we're taking the same way with Beyond. We're showing this first scene, which is really just explosions and spectacular stuff, and it's fine with everyone. But really the game is not this; the game is something totally different and surprisingly emotional. People are going to be really surprised.
Q: So if people come into this expecting another Heavy Rain but with a supernatural angle, they're going to be very taken aback?
DC: Oh my God yes. Honestly, yes. My goal with Beyond - and with any of games - has never been to give people what they expect. If I'm doing that, I'm doing marketing - I'm not doing my job as a creative person. My job in creative is to come up with something you never thought of, something you were expecting without knowing you were expecting it. So my goal is to surprise you, yes. And no, Beyond is not a copy-cat of Heavy Rain. It's not the same game with another story. It's a totally different game, with a story to tell. But it tries to achieve the same things: emotional immersion, to make you feel like you're with these characters, sharing what they feel.
Q: One of the things I wanted to ask you about today is a follow-up to something you said here, all those years ago. When you presented the "Father and Son" scene for Heavy Rain, you recommended that people play through the story once and then never touch the game again. Will Beyond be like that as well? Should people play the game once and then leave it?
DC: It's the same approach as for Heavy Rain: Play it once and then don't replay it. You can if you want, but I think the best way to experience the game is really to make choices and then never know what would have happened if you'd made a different choice. Because life is like this, and Beyond is the life of Jodie Holmes. For me, it's more interesting to have players defining the life of Jodie - this is your version of the life of Jodie. And you can talk to other people and see their versions, and compare what you did, what you missed, what you saw, but never know what would have happened if... I think that's the beauty of the thing.
I was really surprised, because I talked to many people, and many people respected my recommendation, at least for the first walkthrough. Some people said, "I had this guy die, and I thought, 'Oh f*ck, I want to know what's going to happen with him, but I remembered what you said and just kept playing.'" So many people did it that way... although most people came back after one complete walkthrough and said, "Alright, I want to know what happened."
Q: Well, if you've got the game sitting there, it's hard to resist temptation.
DC: Yeah, fair enough.
Q: Heavy Rain looked like a risky experiment in the lead up to release, but the final product was very successful. And before Heavy Rain we had Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, which was similarly unique for its time. Why haven't more developers attempted to make these kinds of games?
DC: There have been two games - Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain - two games showing this direction, and maybe that's not enough. And though Heavy Rain has been a commercial success, maybe it wasn't huge enough to convince people to spend their money. Maybe they need to see more commercial success to consider it as a valuable proposition, and that's fair enough.
It's also a very different way of approaching development, and game design and writing. Many games are written in groups: you have 15 people in a room, you have maybe one writer, one programmer, one marketing guy, and they make the story. But with the games we make, it's with one writer, on his own, making his own story. There's no rationale behind this. If you ask me to justify why this scene is like this and not like that... I don't know, it's just the way it felt! And maybe I'm wrong, maybe there are other ways, better ways of telling the same story - but this is my story. And this is also what you're going to buy. When you buy a game by Quantic Dream, it's a vision to take away.
Our industry has a hard time trusting authors. They always feel they are the diva, the uncontrollable device, almost - and many publishers hate that. They want people they can control, they want 15 writers so that if one goes the project carries on. And if they want to change something there won't be someone saying, "Wait a minute, I'm the author! You can't change my work!" Which is something I do a lot.
So authors in games are difficult to manage, and something that is scary for many people. That's not the case in films. Can you imagine a film where there's a group of people writing...?
Q: Well, that is the way American TV is written. And of course in Hollywood, you do get studios stepping into films and having them re-written by someone else.
DC: TV is an excellent example. But usually you have a showrunner, the guy who has the vision, and then you have a bunch of people under his direction, which is different from having a marketing guy running everything. So I think this is reason why there aren't more games like this - because to a certain extent, it's easier to work on a first-person shooter than to say, "Ok, what emotions are we going to trigger? What story are we going to tell?"
But there are games like... Walking Dead was a very interesting example, I thought, of people trying something different of interactive narrative. They do it in their way, with their own solution, and that's fine. I'm not expecting people to copy-cat what we're doing. Every studio has some vision of this, and it's great to see other people trying.
Q: Are you a fan of Walking Dead? I'm really enjoying the Telltale's work, so far.
DC: I'm a big fan of Walking Dead in general. I really love the comics, I love the TV series. I found it very original and interesting. I'm not a big fan of zombies in general, but I thought that was an interesting take.
Q: So you'd never make a Quantic Dream game about zombies?
DC: You know, the thing is if you make a game about zombies... it's been done before. And fine, it can be very fun and very entertaining. But what I liked in Walking Dead, it's not so much about zombies, but the characters. It was about the personalities confronted by something. You could replace the zombies with aliens, monsters, whatever you want - it's still there. I'm always interested in the real content, not so much the background.
It's the same thing with sci-fi. I love sci-fi, and I love Battlestar Galactica. It was a fantastic TV series. But what I liked about it was that sci-fi was the background, not the subject. It was mainly about this group of people confronted by extraordinary events, and that was what really got me on board. If it was just about laser guns and spaceships, I would have probably been bored.
Q: Given what you were saying a moment ago about writing in gaming, would you ever consider handing over that responsibility to someone else? Would you trust another writer to handle the script for a Quantic Dream project? The games you've worked on so far feel very personal.
DC: Yeah, these games are very personal. Since Heavy Rain, I write a lot about me and my experience, my life. I don't know if that makes for better stories, but I feel I'm being more sincere, more true to what I want to say and what I want to write.
I'm in a very special position at Quantic Dream, because I'm the CEO of the company and I'm the writer. So it's easier for me to trust myself as a writer, because there's no other option, but also it puts some pressure on everything, because I play with the life or death of the studio with each idea I have. When you come to shows like this you come with a lot of confidence, and you want to show people how passionate and excited you are. And I am, but actually this is very scary. I mean, what if I'm totally wrong with Beyond and no-one likes it, the story's crap and its wrongly directed and I've done everything wrong? It's something terrible for the studio. My studio has been there for 15 years, and I've bet everything, again, on the fact that Beyond is going to work in my favour this time. So that's a lot of pressure, and it's easier for me to take this pressure if I feel I'm in control of the story, because then if it fails, it's my personal failure. It's easier to accept than if it's someone else's failure.
But to answer your question, the evolution of the format, the evolution of the studio, requires that more people become capable of writing this kind of stuff. I'm very interested in what's going on with TV series, where's the showrunner and a team of writers, writing in the same direction. And this is actually what I'm building at our studio right now.
Q: You're moving towards a TV-like setup?
DC: Yeah, where I could continue to have the vision and the ideas - I have ideas for the next four or five games. This is what I love and I really enjoy but at the same time, instead of me spending a year away from the studio writing the damn thing, I could work for the team - people who could be more talented than I am, and bring in new ideas that I've not thought of - and work together in creating this thing. So, we're starting on this right now.
Q: Your games have a tendency towards exploring sci-fi and supernatural themes, but at the same time, you've said that your stories are informed by your personal experience. What is it about these subjects that interests you? Are you a big believer in this sort of thing, if you don't mind me asking. I know that's a rather personal question.
DC: A big believer in what?
Q: In the supernatural. Do you believe in ghosts, for example.
DC: No, I'm afraid not. I'm an atheist, I don't believe in God at all.
Q: That's interesting. So why are you so drawn to telling a story that has these elements in it?
DC: There are some personal reasons around this. One of them is... actually, I lost someone close in my family. Death is something really strange. I mean, you have the concept of death when no-one around you has died, and you understand that it's very sad. But when you lose someone close, you have a totally different approach to it. Suddenly it takes on a whole different light. I have never been very interested in religions, I just say that they are nice theories. And one day I was thinking about what death could be, without religions, without God sitting on a cloud, or whatever. Can we have another explanation for that? This is what drove me to write Beyond.

A freebie. No cost instant calm.
Excerpts from the soon to be published The Calm Book , by Tzirelchana,mom and writer devoted to promoting world calmness.
Where ever you are, you can always breath, not unconscious automatic oxygen inhalation, but real breathing. A cleansing breath, a yogic breath which studies say can even lower blood pressure.
Today, I was out racing around town in a mad dash to collect the endless jigsaw puzzle of stuff that my family seems to require to get to this holiday. I started out energized, excited. Shopping does turn me on, but at some point in the spree, I could feel my mind, my heart and ever other part of me were in overdrive.
When I finally over a fast food lunch with the kids (yes, I know that fast food isn't exactly tofu and herbal tea, but the kids were starved and I aint perfect) I closed my eyes and treated myself to a couple of good deep breaths whispering my favorite mantra.
'Breathe in Hashem… Breathe out fear… Breathe in Hashem… Breathe out fear"
I did this and over for two or three minutes until I could feel the calm pouring into me from some mysterious relaxation center hidden deep inside my brain.
Instant calm. Instantly accessible. No cost.

3 Pears
Warner Bros.
It's been seven years since Mr. Yoakam's last studio release, and he's enlisted the help of Beck for two tracks ("A Heart Like Mine," "Missing Heart") on 3 Pears, an effort that champions the best of this veteran's hillbilly alt-country.
Yoakam channels Elvis in his yelps and borderline squeals over classic chicken pickin' twang as "Dim Lights, Thick Smoke" spirals into a rouser with the makings of a radio hit. But the crooner retains a timeless, ingrained quality and authenticity that he shoots like a bullet. Ballads like "Trying" aren't formulaic love songs for CMT, rather, these stories are overdriven through loud guitars while melodic, acoustic rhythm holds down the groove before giving way to deep, woody Tele tone and steel cries. His voice pierces with sliding guitar near the end of "Missing Heart," ending abruptly as the two peak.
He includes an inspired arrangement of "Ring of Fire," a rendition The Man in Black—who once named Yoakam as his favorite country artist—could revere. The fretwork is relatively simple throughout, but Yoakam's voice collides with strong instrumentals into a unit that is loud in heart and tight as hell. —Tessa Jeffers
Must-hear track: "Missing Heart"

Judge won't dismiss lawsuit over Mason stun gun-related death
Man died after confrontation with police
A federal judge has refused to throw out a civil rights lawsuit in the case of an unarmed, mentally ill man who died during a confrontation with police in Warren County.
Doug Boucher, 39, died Dec. 13, 2009, after two officers in Mason shocked him with a Taser stun gun several times, kicked and repeatedly hit him with a baton -- all mostly after he had fallen face-first onto cement and stopped moving.
Police said Boucher, who had untreated bipolar disorder, punched an officer in the head when officers tried to take him into custody after a confrontation at a convenience store.
Boucher died of a skull fracture sustained after he was first shocked with the stun gun and fell to the ground, a coroner found.
In his Friday ruling, federal Judge S. Arthur Spiegel turned down the city of Mason's request to have the allegations against them and the officers dropped.
Spiegel says a reasonable juror could conclude that the officers used "gratuitous violence."
"What gives the court pause is that (the officers) repeatedly tased Boucher in such manner that a jury might find he was subjected to gratuitous violence from officers that momentarily 'lost it.'" Spiegel wrote.
"The Court DENIES Defendant Officers qualified immunity because it was established law at the time that it is objectively unreasonable to use a taser against an immobilized suspect who is not resisting, and the facts of this matter could be viewed to show they applied gratuitous violence against Boucher," Spiegel wrote.
Spiegel did dismiss the plaintiff's claim that stopping Boucher was a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.
Boucher's parents, who live in Marion, Ind. – where Boucher lived until he was about 30 – are seeking unspecified damages.
Jennifer Branch, the Boucher family attorney, has said that the officers should have allowed Boucher to get in his car and leave because making a lewd comment is not a criminal offense, and that their escalating use of force was inappropriate.
Gary Becker, the Cincinnati attorney representing Mason and both officers, said he was "obviously very disappointed" in Friday's ruling and that he and his clients will need to decide whether to appeal it or go to trial in hopes of winning.
Spiegel set a trial date for June 18.

The Role of Health and Wellness in the Classroom
We must educate our way to a better economy. This means not simply rethinking how we teach, but what we teach, and why. Just as a student needs the physical infrastructure of roads, schools, and computers before they can efficiently learn, so too does a student need the emotional and social infrastructure of health, wellness, and safety.

Expert: Personal social media posts can help, hurt a career
While it can take just minutes to find a job online, it can take seconds to ruin a career.
Kimberly Bean with Robert Half Technology said what happens on social media can easily affect a career.
"Seventy-six percent of (human resource) professionals said it affects your career," she said of one's social media posts. "Not only during your career, but also while trying to get a job."
VIDEO: What you do online can affect your job
Bean said employers often search Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to make sure employees are not out of line.
"There's a lot of material out there," she said. "If it's criticizing or negative or derogatory or risk-taking, a lot of people are deciding not to move forward with those people."
She advises that politics, religion and questionable social behavior are best left out of one's tweets and Facebook posts. On professional sites like LinkedIn, Bean advises to keep all photos professional, and to avoid pictures of the significant other or pets.
So what is best to put online? Bean said positive comments, stories and posts can go a long way with your employer.
She also said good email etiquette is a must.
"The 'Reply All' is probably one of my favorites," Bean said. "I see a lot of people misuse that, not realizing who the message is going out to."
She also advises to keep emotions out of your emails and social media posts.
"If you're having any type of negotiation or difficult conversation via email, stop if you can and talk to people (in person)."

The greatest motivator is observing first hand the improvement and changes made to a child's learning throughout the year. The school does make a difference in young people's lives and I am honoured to be part of it.
It has been really nice working with everyone at the City Circle Saturday School. It can sometimes be difficult to find a sense of community in somewhere as big as London, and I definitely think that it exists at the City Circle. It's a very welcoming one at that!
Being a part of the children's lives, getting to know them, building trusting relationships and earning their respect motivates me to continue coming to the City Circle Saturday School.
