This letter was written by Jasper R. Converse (1840-1920) of Co. F, 18th US Infantry Regiment. Jasper was the orphaned son of Edwin Gates Converse (1811-1851) and Louisa Ketch (1814-1851) of Madison County, Ohio. Jasper's parents died within a couple of weeks of each other in the fall of 1851.
Jasper wrote the letter to his cousin, Edwin ("Ed") Gates Adams (1841-1875) of Darby Creek, Madison County, Ohio. Ed was the son of Jasper's Aunt Betsy R. (Converse) Adams (1817-1865) who was married to Ammon P. Adams (1816-1865). Edwin served as a private in Co. K, 136th Ohio Infantry (National Guard).
Addressed to Mr. E. G. Adams, Darby Creek, Madison County, Ohio
Postmarked Nashville, Tennessee
Company F, 1st Battalion, 18th U.S. Infantry
On Camp Oak Creek, Alabama
August 15th 1863
Dear Cousin,
Yours of the 3d was duly received and I take the present opportunity to address a few lines to you. I am well and enjoying myself as well as usual in camp. Our march from Cowan's Station to this place consisted of 20 miles of road over the Cumberland Mountains and a rougher road I never travelled in my life. I can hardly tell you how bad the roads were. Every mountain is covered with ledges of rocks and the number of wagons that were broken down can hardly be imagined.
Ed, I was almost disgusted at the reading of your letter, although I have had some accounts of such before. I am sorry to hear so often of the riots and treasonable outrages committed by the Copperheads and, worse yet, my own native state is lined with them. I have seen accounts in the papers of their outrageous conduct. What a pity it is that while we are away from home (absent two years) fighting to put down Rebellion that the people that was once our friends are now our enemies, and are everyday rising up against us. These are horrible times. The only fault is the Governor deals with them too lightly — not even one cheer should be allowed to echo for Jeff Davis or [Clement] Vallandigham in the States now held by the Union Troops. It is not allowed where we are, and I think it should not be allowed in the North. Neither should they be allowed to hold conventions. You may ask how will we hinder them — this is a free Government. It can be done by putting every state under Martial Law, and then have troops to execute those laws, the same as we do down here. Then the work will soon be done and law and order restored. I will not say anymore on the subject this time for it will be of little use.
I am glad to hear you are in favor of the Union and have enrolled your name in a company to defend our state. Your deeds will show your loyalty as they have already done. My motto is, 'Union forever, without compromise.' With these few remarks you ever have the sympathy and well wishes of your brother soldier.
Your friend and cousin, — Jasper R. Converse to E. G. A,
(Direct as before)

- Updated
The second-gen 300C SRT8 will come packing a 6.4-liter Hemi under its hood.
I had no idea the old chassis was competent. When are they figuring to come out with an all new 300/charger, by 2014/2015?
i miss the Magnum. if you're going to have a big ol' car with a big ol' engine, it might as well be a wagon.2 Replies
Big surprise ti gets the same drive train as it's corporate brother the Charger SRT8. Like what was already said, once it gets the 8 speed, all will be well.
I can't wait to see official details on this car, as this article is mostly speculation. 6.4 L should be fun to play with, and I do hope they calm down the chrome. Not a big fan of chrome.
Want 6.4 HEMI in EVERYTHING. CALIBER SRT-8 6.4 HEMI!4 Replies
its junk it will be like the viper to much power an break down dodge suck's2 Replies
like the viper? as in, the car that holds the nurburgring and laguna seca lap record? the only american car to do that? and it does it with out turbos/superchargers, like EVERY OTHER CAR in its class? yea...piece of crap
Matt, stick with your Fix Or Repair Daily's and quake with fear when the new Viper arrives to toast the fastest thing Ford makes.
Whoa whoa, let's keep the vulgarities down, this isn't Motor Trend.
I think the should have wait until the end of the year/ early next year to reveal both SRT8s charger/300.. It seem like this was rushed out to have something to show at the upcoming autoshows.. Due to a lack of new concept designs or concepts period.. I Like the SRT8s..But why not allow these car to be brought to light when your not using parts from the old tranny bin.

"This book represents a six-year labor of love for Bob Stumm. For many years he has been a dedicated collector of those celebrated picture postcards which almost a century ago served as quick notes from the traveler to the folks back home and offered as well a colorful portrait of America's cultural and commercial growth along the new frontier and its principal waterway. The fruits of this delightful occupation combined with Stumm's love and understanding of the river's history are all here -- the cream of the crop of the author's 2000-card collection. "Dating from 1905 to 1920, these cards give a frozen-in-time picture of the Upper Mississippi Valley as it was at the beginning of the century. These were the waning days of the steamboats as they gave way to excursion steamers, the final years of the great wave of European settlements which peopled the upper valley in the nineteenth century. Communities along the river were transforming themselves into rail centers, a phenomenon which consigned those without railroads to oblivion. And, wonder of wonders, the button industry had taken the place of lumbering as the economic engine of the region! "The book is both a historic timepiece and a modem travelogue for lovers of the mighty river and those who treasure the history of mid-continent, small-town America.

Non-Indians should be afraid of law: Rijiju
New Delhi : Making clear the government stance on the draft National Register of Citizens (NRC), Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday said those who are not Indian citizens should be afraid of the law and system.
"People who have been left out must get their documents in place to prove their Indian citizenship. If somebody is not Indian, then that person should be scared of the system and the laws. If somebody is living illegally in this country, why should they be comfortable?" Rijiju said on the draft National Regster of Citizens which was released by the Assam government earlier this week.
The minister also criticised Opposition leaders such as West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Congress President Rahul Gandhi and MIM's Asaduddin Owaisi, asking them to make their stand clear on illegal migrants.
"Why is the Opposition raising an issue? Why is there a need to spread fear psychosis among people? Everybody must cooperate in this case. This is an exercise in national interest. In this case, Mamata Banerjee's statements are very unbecoming of a chief minister," Rijiju said.
He said 'genuine Indians have nothing to fear' and expressed the hope that the NRC process would be completed before the 2019 elections.

Does your Cheney dog have bad breath? Most dogs aren't exactly known for giving minty-fresh kisses, but if your pooch has a particularly bad odor about his mouth, you may need to pay some extra attention to his teeth. Just like people, dogs can develop dental issues, which can lead to other problems. Some common dental issues in dogs include abscessed teeth, cracked teeth, periodontal disease, and misaligned teeth. Your pup won't necessarily show any signs of his dental problems. By the time Fido starts showing symptoms, such as excessive drooling, difficulty eating, or growths, he could have severe issues.
Here are a few tips on how to keep your canine pal's mouth in good shape:
Brush Fido's Teeth
Fido may be less than enthusiastic about you poking around in his mouth, but most dogs will learn to tolerate having their choppers brushed, particularly if you follow up with a yummy treat. This will of course be much easier if you start while your pooch is a pup, but even older dogs can learn to tolerate a toothbrush. Pick a time when your dog is a bit tired from exercise. It's very important that you use toothpaste specifically formulated for dogs, as the fluoride found in human toothpaste is toxic to our canine pals. Work at a 45-degree angle. If your furry pal starts to get annoyed, stop and try again another day.
Dental Bones
When your pup gets a dental bone for a snack, he's getting both a treat and help with his teeth. Dental bones do help keep plaque from forming on Fido's teeth. Just like it does with humans, plaque will harden and form tartar. Once that happens, it can lead to inflamed gums, halitosis, and periodontal disease. While dental bones are great, your dog's teeth still may need some care, since there are some spots a dental bone won't reach, particularly in dogs with uneven bites.
Chew Treats
Chew treats are also good for your furry pal's oral health. They will help strengthen his jaw, and will promote the formation of saliva, which will help keep your dog's mouth clean. Try giving Fido a rawhide chew. Chances are he'll love cleaning his teeth this way!
Dry Kibble
Dry kibble can also help keep plaque under control. Some formulas are made specifically to help with canine dental issues. They may have larger kibbles, or be made with a formula that doesn't crumble as easily.
If you think your dog may be developing some dental issues, check with your Cheney vet for advice on how best to help your furry pal's teeth stay strong and healthy.

This exploratory study analyzes key factors that lead to successful reengineering. Through an extensive literature search five factors emerged as key to success due to virtual consensus by multiple sources. These factors are adequate customer and user inputs, adequate sponsor's authority, proper use of consultants and training, linkage to sol id strategic planning and adequate authority for implementation and utilizing resources. These key factors were carefully incorporated into a questionnaire. Structured interviews with managers who have participated in reengineering projects in the past were conducted utilizing the questionnaire. The results of these interviews are analyzed and presented. The results of the analysis indicated correlation with three of the factors and success. These are customer focus, sponsorship, and consultants/training. Extensive discussion as to research methodology and associated problems is included. Reengineering was found to be more prevalent than the literature stated. It is proposed there are more than the five factors in successful reengineering, and that three of the stated/actors were espedally valuable in predicting reengineering success.
This project is only available to students, staff, and faculty of Portland State University.

I've always wanted a boat. I have thus far been smart enough not to buy one. The saying is: "The best two days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it". Hopefully I have a better experience because I've got an engine to fix up now!
This is a Johnson Sea Horse 10 from what I believe is the late 50's or early 60's. I am not positive. I haven't had much time to do research. It is a known good running engine that has been stored for many years.
I did not grow up in a 'boat' family. Once my people got off the potato or turnip boat, we stayed on the land. We haven't been a sea faring family for many generations. I am looking to change the hydrophobia and get my sea legs (realistically putt' around a pond and catch some perch).
I'd like to do some occasional fishing, but mostly leisure drives around a lake, picnic on the beach, and maybe some shore camping. Wouldn't that be the life? Now I need to buy some boat shoes and a Buick.
It is in a complete condition with tank. It doesn't appear to me to be modified or known to be dicked-off-wa'hacked-back-together or anything else.
Seems to me it could be as easy as a carburetor rebuild, tune up, and cut the top off a 55-gallon barrel for a test. Anyone know much about outboard motors or have any suggestions about the best place to buy parts? Amazon has a carb rebuild kit for a hilariously low price.
Once this motor is fixed up - hopefully for cheap - I'll be buying an affordable used aluminum boat. That will be another adventure. Prices seem to hover around $500 for something that doesn't leak with no accessories. I'm thinking a couple seats, Bimini top, and current paper work would be a delight.

Earlier this year, Square Enix announced a second wave of Final Fantasy XV DLC content. It was quite a surprising move from the company, given that few games are given that kind of second life beyond their initial Season Pass content. Now today came an even bigger surprise: they changed their minds.
Four new add-on chapters were announced for Final Fantasy XV last April, each focusing on a specific character: Episode Ardyn, Episode Aranea, Episode Lunafreya and Episode Noctis. Episode Noctis would have really, truly been the final chapter — we think. Now only Episode Ardyn, which is too far along to pump the brakes, will be released.
Why the sudden about-face? Because the man in charge is leaving the company. Game director Hajime Tabata has been credited with saving the Final Fantasy XV project, back when it was just an FF spinoff and in danger of cancellation. He's been in charge of the whole thing since then, until now. It would seem Square doesn't want to continue without him.
This kind of reverence for a creator's vision seems to be unique to Japanese companies. Whenever a major player in the team quits, the entire project is stalled if not shut down entirely. Capcom put the Mega Man series on hold for several years after creator Eiji Inafune left. When Gunpei Yokoi left Nintendo, the series he was involved with (including Metroid) were put on hiatus. In America, these people would have been replaced immediately, but in Japan, replacements only happen if the parent company is made up of total jerks (read: Konami).
Tabata released a public statement upon the announcement of his departure from Square, which can be read below.
It's almost going to be 2 whole years since the release of FFXV. I honestly believe the reason we were able to get this far is because of all you loyal fans. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Today, I have a personal announcement to make to all of you. I, Hajime Tabata, will be resigning from Luminous Productions and the Square Enix Group as of October 31, 2018.
I was able to gain so much experience with my time at Square Enix. Every title I was able to be a part of means a lot to me. However, FFXV stood out from that group as it was a special project for me which I went all-in.
Therefore, I decided to take this opportunity to officially announce my departure from FFXV to all the fans who have supported the title across the globe.
In regards to my next endeavors and near future, I have a project that I truly wish to solidify as my next challenge after FFXV. For that reason, I have decided to leave my current position and start my own business in order to achieve my goal.
As production of Episode Ardyn continues and Luminous Productions works on new projects, I felt that it was time for me to hand over the torch to the next generation group of talented and trustworthy colleagues and believe that they will create something amazing.
From this day on, I will cheer on and support Square Enix and Luminous Productions together with all you fans.
I would like to thank everyone who continue to support FFXV and those who have also supported myself personally.

Altice USA Files in Opposition to T-Mobile-Sprint Merger
By Mike Farrell
Add Altice USA to the growing list of communications companies coming out against the proposed T-Mobile-Sprint merger, claiming in its petition filed with the Federal Communications Commission Tuesday that the deal could makes its ongoing wireless agreement with Sprint difficult.
Dish Network filed a similar petition against the merger with the FCC on Monday.
Altice USA signed a Mobile Virtual Network Operator agreement with Sprint in 2017 to provide wireless services to its customers in the New York area and the Midwest. Altice expects to launch the wireless service early next year.
But in its petition with the FCC, Altice USA said a Sprint merger with T-Mobile could have an adverse effect on its own wireless deal with Sprint.

In its FCC filing, Altice sad it was confident in its ability to offer its wireless service in 2019, a product it said had strategic importance for both companies.
But the operator said it "has concerns about the opportunity to expand its wireless service nationwide and over the long term, because T-Mobile and the New T-Mobile have made no tangible commitments regarding meaningful support for current MVNO partners, including offering such partners the full nationwide network that the New T-Mobile will enjoy. The concerns of Altice are magnified in view of T-Mobile's hostile statements against MVNOs, including cable operators entering the wireless market."

While Altice said its Sprint MVNO will continue after Sprint is acquired, there are no guarantees that T-Mobile will support the MVNO market once the merger is complete, especially its commitment to supporting further expansion in the wireless arena. That commitment is critical to the survival of any MVNO service, Altice USA said in the filing.
"Altice's agreement with Sprint clearly accounts for the continuation of the relationship if Sprint is acquired," Altice USA said in the filing. "However, given the lack of firm commitments by [T-Mobile] to support the MVNO market if the merger is consummated, Altice is concerned about [T-Mobile's] willingness to support Altice's further expansion in the wireless market.
" ...it clearly is not lost on Applicants that MVNOs such as Tracfone, Altice, Charter, and Comcast need nationwide, long-term, wholesale arrangements in order to provide nationwide wireless service and, without these arrangements, MVNOs cannot compete," Altice USA continued. "However, without actual commitments from the New T-Mobile to provide its MVNO partners with durable, long-term, nationwide wholesale terms, the competitive impact of these MVNO partners will not exist and cannot be considered by the Commission."
Altice USA fears that instead of supporting its MVNO deals, the New T-Mobile will be incentivized to "expand its own market power y refusing to offer reasonable, nationwide, wholesale wireless terms to its MVNO partners. T-Mobile's own comments to date, and its refusals to make commitments to the MVNO market, already have telegraphed this result."
To remedy that situation, Altice USA proposed that as a condition to approval the New T-Mobile must agree to honor and implement existing MVNO agreements. Other conditions proposed by the cable operator inclide: agreeing to offer MVNO partners for the full term of their existing agreement or 10 years (whichever is later) the best wholesale terms and conditions; divesting spectrum that exceeds the spectrum screen, and associated network infrastructure, in order to make those assets available to MVNOs, and smaller wireless players that need spectrum; and filing detailed quarterly reports with the Commission describing New T-Mobile's status in implementing the conditions for 10 years after the deal is complete.

It's a super easy mix to add to lots of meals, I love Mexican food and I'm really keen to keep trying new recipes.
I use this on top of salads, fajitas and burritos but you can add it to whatever you want, I find it adds a nice texture and flavour.
The great thing with this recipe as well is that if you have leftovers you can blend it into a salsa dip (adding more tomatoes).
The Recipe:
- 1/2 Red Onion
- 7 Baby Plum Tomatoes
- 1/4 Cucumber
- Coriander
- Lemon Juice
- Jalapeños (optional)
Chop all of your ingredients up into small pieces and mix together.
- Pour lemon juice on top to help it last longer and for flavour.
- For some spice add chopped jalapeños (when I'm making it for a group with different tastes I tend to leave the jalapeños out).
Here are some of the meals I added it to:
Let me know if you guys have any other suggestions or mixes to try!

Sometimes horror movies are even more terrifying when read metaphorically. In Dead Calm, the story of a husband and wife at sea with a murderous intruder is bad enough, but what if the murderer doesn't exist?
Dead Calm is a well-executed but outdated psychological horror, adapted in 1989 for film from a 1963 novel by the same name by America Charles K. Williams (1909 – 1975).Continue reading "Dead Calm Film Study"

So, I'm in Philadelphia right now helping lead a high school mission trip. We're with an organization called P2 Missions who sets groups like us up with a local church planter. Ours is this guy named Justin who started Express Church, which meets in Phoenixevlle, PA (a suburb of Philly).
Above is the basic information, like what I would tell you if I had to send a little informational report or something. But, here I would like to just write some thoughts and insights gathered along our week-long journey. I'm guessing my writing won't be the best, it's pretty late (everyone is trying to sleep right now) and we're at the end of our second day here. I'm with all the guys in the gym of this school and the people here said the emergency lights for the gym never turn off, so we sleep in the light. It was weird getting used to that last night, so us guys were a bit tired today.
Anyway, I'll give you a short rundown of what has went down so far. Last night around 5 we all got to our "home base" at the school. Well, a lot of people were late because of the weather. But, once most of us were here and settled in, we went to what they call the "P2 Show," which I guess the best way to describe is just a time to pray, get into the Word a little, and "worship" (sing songs). That part has been interesting for us from Xenos, since we aren't used to it. Most of our people have done a good job of going with the flow, though. After that, they had a dedicated time of prayer. I liked that a lot, though (again) it was a bit more manufactured than I'm used to. Regardless, it got us all talking to the Lord and that's never a bad thing. Then, we had a little break and then were able to gather with just our people. Laura and I thought it'd be good to have small teachings each day during the "group devotional time" they set out for us, so we're doing a series on witnessing. I did the first one last night and it was really sweet to hear everyone's convictions and excitement about the week. Then it was bedtime and "lights out" that doesn't mean lights out and all that so, yeah, ha.
Today (Sunday, June 28th, 2015 to be exact), was our first full day. After breakfast we had devotional time. We're having our guys and girls split up for that. Today we talked about prayer from a passage in Luke 18. The rest of the days the high school guys are going to pair up and lead those. Then, after some more sing-song stuff I won't belabour you with, we finally got to go out and meet our church planter. We got there just in time for their Sunday meeting to start, which was awesome. They meet right in the lobby of a local YMCA, since the church does not have a building (something we're all about). Right when we came in one of their leaders asked us if we had some people who would want to share testimonies (we had told them we did previously, but didn't know the timing of it or anything). So, that was exciting. Jaret did a good job of being the first one to share his, which got the ball rolling and then Maggie, Mistie, and Trey did as well. They all did really well and the pastor (Justin) even referenced a few of their stories in his teaching. He taught over Jesus healing the paralytic man by the water. I liked his message and style of teaching. He also has a crazy mustache, plenty of tattoos, had a shirt that said "Jesus Freak" on it, and said he used to be an alcoholic. After the meeting, they actually gave us lunch and stayed and talked to us for a while. It was sweet hearing all the stories of how the church has gotten on its feet. When him and I were talking afterward, Justin kept pointing around the room and explaining how a different person received Christ. For example, the dude who now plays the keyboard for them is a fitness instructor at the Y and just checked out their meeting one day and now knows Jesus.
After that the people at Express Church had some things to do so we took our people down a free streets to see what kind of area we're working with. We ended up at in a baseball dugout and did some praying for the people there and for the week in general. During our prayer the Lord must've been answering because I briefly mentioned how I am trying to put together a little documentary of the trip together (with Ian's help, for the film fest we're having next month) and then Laura came and asked me if I thought it'd be a good idea to go and interview people in Phonexville right then and there. We happened to have an extra two hours on our hands, so we gave each car an "assignment" to interview two people on camera in regards to something spiritual. Then, we were off.
At first, our car had some trouble finding people. Sean and Jaret asked some people at that park, but were rejected. Then, we went to another park and played some basketball hoping that could be a lead in, but no luck. Finally, we stumbled upon one final park and got out. Nick, Jaret and Sean went off and got an interview with a Christian girl, which was cool. Mat and I, since we were just kind of standing around, reluctantly went up to this group of three people. At first, one lady kept saying that she thought we were messing with her (she used harsher language, actually) and said we didn't look like Jesus people but more like we should be in an emo band together. We laughed and kept going. That person never let us inteview her on camera, but did keep coming back wanting to talk about things. The real story was her friend, though. She said she doesn't know what she believes, but that her real hang up is that her husband passed away less than a year ago and she also lost a child a few years back. It was heartbreaking to hear this poor woman talk, but nice to be able to tell her some of the words of the only one who can actually offer her rest. What was so crazy about the whole thing is that when I asked her if she goes to the Y she said she does and that some guy with a mustache keeps trying to get her to come to his church! She already knows Justin! After our talk, she said she is going to think about checking it out now. I don't know if she will or not, but I hope so and really think God put us in that situation for some reason.
The (spontaneously planned) interview session really sparked some excitement in our people. It was so sweet hearing all the other cars' stories. Afterward we had some training on church planting and evangelism, which I won't get into because I'm already going way too long here. But, it was good. During that, though, it was sad because two of our people have to leave tomorrow morning because a family member is about to pass away. I won't get much into that either, but we're going to keep praying for them and theirs.
Lastly, after dinner, they took us down to downtown Philly for a prayer walk around the city. I had never done such a thing, but we just went around some different areas and prayed for the people there. I liked it, and we also got to see some of the sights around there. I actually had my good old friend Terique, who only lives half an hour away, come by and join us for that. It was really sweet catching up with him for sure (and nice to have him there to be our unofficial tour guide, ha).
I should end it here, it's getting pretty late. But, I do want to relay one conversation we had that stuck out to me. Today, when we were at the dugout praying, a worker (I'm assuming) came up to Paul and starting asking questions. I was curious so went over, and she said she just wants to know "Who are you and why are you here?" I thought that was a fairly blunt question, and she just replied and said she had never seen anyone doing what we're doing. We told her we were praying and she seemed surprised but let us be and left. What stuck out to me was that question of hers, though.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
I'm not sure if there are many more important questions than that right there.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
If we are going to have any significant impact, I know all of us will need to continually remember the answer to both of those questions.

Packed up and ready to go!
How adorable is this!?!? We bought this vintage suitcase back in January to convert into a dog bed for the chihuahuas...didn't realize at the time that a pit bull could cram himself into it! The bedding inside is an adorable doggie duvet from Molly Mutt. Next thing I know Preacher will be trying to get into it!

VICTORIA PARK WOMEN'S RACE (April 2013)
60 Women ran in the 47th Victoria Park '5' in brilliant sunshine and the surprise winner was Sarah McDougall of Serpentine RC, in what must be considered one of, easily, her best results, despite stopping at one point for a short while with arch trouble.
, now 31, decided to continue because she felt it would hold up well. The first mile she felt was fast at 5.12.
First Six were:-
Sandra McDougall 28:15; Elaine Murty 28:52; Clare Elms 29:01 (First Over 40 and 45);
Ruth Clifton 29:20; Sarah Swinhoe 29:41 (40-49); Jad El-Houssami 29:41 and the First Over 50 and 55 for that matter was Ealing's Fiona Kennedy in 30:59.
Sandra McDougall explained " This was my first 5 miles so definitely a PB and the other result of note was when I did 35:50 over 10k at Bushy Park three weeks ago" .
McDougall, who works in advertising research with SKYE started running when she was 11 or 12 but by the age of 15 she stopped running for 12 to 13 years but started again three years ago. " I only started training properly again in the last year. I got married last November and my husband just runs to keep fit"
"To-day I was really genuinely surprised I ran like I did. I really enjoyed it but it was hard.I made myself get back out into the race.'
'I have been careful with injury and do spinning 4 times a week and 3 running sessions . I run about 20-30 miles a week but make sure I rest my foot."
"I did not run very well. I went off too fast and died in the middle but came back quite strong. This is not the way to run it"
However she pointed out
"I had a good Winter season. It was the best I ever had. I have not started track work yet"
(Something her Blackheath coach on 'Power of 10' Ray Daniel was good at, racing was the track)
" I have been working really hard, getting the miles in and hopefully, touch wood, I would like to make the England cross country team next season as, I had my first English Vest in the Home International
(12th on 2/3/13)
Elaine came second for her second claim club, Highgate Harriers in the Metropolitan League at Perivale behind the
Met League Overall Champion, Rachel Felton of Shaftesbury Barnet.
" I am hoping to do more of them next Winter." said Elaine Murty. "The spirit is so good at Highgate Harriers with Ben Noad and Ben Pochee encouraging everyone so much and that is somehow lost a bit at Blackheath these days but I still hope to compete for them as a Higher Claim athlete and maybe join Highgate Harriers first claim." However a friend who often trains with the Ben's is Andrew Rayner of Blackheath who Elaine is getting married to in November.
It would be difficult to describe Clare Elms as anything but a brilliant Master/Veteran athlete, as she continuously wins her category in nearly every race she runs, with countless Masters' British records in recent times. She was third overall in the Victoria Park '5'
She remarked
"The season has been OK. However, I have had trouble with my foot since the marathon actually nearly 2 years ago! I seem to get bye, swimming and cycling as well. It keeps me from running really. I am doing loads of swimming and I have entered quite a few Tri-athlons , qualifying events for the World Age Groups this Summer.I am quite a good swimmer and I cycle as well. Instead of doing a long runs I have been doing a bike ride--25 miles tomorrow and I won't run. It probably means I am not quite so sharp because I am doing a bit of everything.
Would she like to do veteran completions running-wise.
"Yes I like to do Masters competitions especially next year because I turn 50 so I will concentrate on all the records indoors and on the track.'
' This year I am concentrating more on the tri-athlons and next year track."
All her three children are representing their areas in the Mini-Marathon. Two sons and a daughter. Her son Alex has run 2:20 for the 800 last year..He is 12 now!.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 27, 2017) – With the ETSU men's tennis season in full swing, the Bucs will head to the west coast as the Blue and Gold will participate in the ITA Kick-Off Weekend in Los Angeles starting on January 28 with No. 8 USC.
About the Bucs
ETSU opened its season 0-2, but it played stiff competition on the road. The Bucs opened the season with a trip to Winston-Salem, N.C where they were upended 6-1 by No. 2 Wake Forest. With a day off, the Bucs traveled to Tuscaloosa, Ala. where they took on the highly rated Crimson Tide. The Bucs couldn't pull the upset as they fell 4-2 to Alabama.
Even though ETSU is winless to open the season, the Bucs have been held to a 0-2 or 1-1 record in eight straight seasons in the first two contests. However, that never stopped the Blue and Gold as they have made it to 10 consecutive NCAA Tournaments dating back to the 2006-07 season.
To lead the Bucs this year, Robert Herrera (Barcelona, Spain) has been red-hot early. He is undefeated in singles play this year playing out of the No. 3 slot. One of those wins included a top-25 upset. Herrera upended No. 21 Christian Seraphim of Wake Forest in three sets to give ETSU its only point in the dual match against the Demon Deacons. The Spain native is 3-1 in singles and doubles matches this season.
Also, Herrera and Diego Nunez (Monterrey, Mexico) upset No. 32 doubles tandem Mazen Osama and Spencer Richey of Alabama 7-5. The ETSU tandem is 1-1 with both matches coming against nationally ranked talent.
Scouting USC
To open the 2017 season, the Trojans was ranked No. 10 in the ITA rankings, but following a successful season opener versus UC Santa Cruz and UC Irvine, USC jumped to No. 8 in the national rankings. The Trojans are 2-0 after posting 6-1 wins over the in-state rivals.
USC has claimed the national championship in five of the last eight years. Last year the Trojans went 17-7 and made a trip to the NCAA Round of 16. USC is a very experienced team as it has seven of the 13 players on the roster with at least two years of experience at the collegiate level.
According to the ITA, the Trojans have four individuals ranked in the top-125 in singles tennis. To lead USC, freshman Brandon Holt is ranked No. 20, and just behind him, Logan Smith is No. 28 in the country.
Information on the weekend tournament
The Bucs will open the two-day ITA Kick-Off Weekend on January 28 by playing USC. The opening round of the round robin tournament will begin at 4 p.m. (EST) for the Bucs. Depending on if it wins or losses, ETSU will square off against San Diego or Virginia Tech on January 29 in Los Angeles. All matches will be held at Marks Stadium.
This is the ninth consecutive year of the ITA Kick-Off Weekend, and USC has won every year since its inception in 2009. The winner of the championship match on Sunday will punch a ticket to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships that will be held in February at Virginia.
There will be a live stream available by clicking here. Type 'University of Southern California – USC' into the search bar and select which the court you want to view.

This Spelt Flour Gingerbread Cake is filled with caramelized pears, covered in a simple mascarpone icing and then drizzled with a gingerbread glaze.
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, so obviously I made cake! Serious question: Is November too early for gingerbread? Because I gotta be honest, I'm kind of "over" pumpkin. And by "over" I really just mean that I'm very ready for all things peppermint and gingerbread! I get in the habit of consuming pumpkin too early (like, maybe end of August-ish), so by the time November rolls around, I'm more than ready for holiday flavors.
Plus it's my birthday, so I figure I can post a spelt flour gingerbread cake recipe if I want to.
In case you're wondering, I officially the big 2-7, which is one of my least favorite numbers (please tell me you also have favorite and least favorite numbers with absolutely no significant reason as to why?!); I'm hoping it's not a sign for the year ahead. Ok so quickly, here are a few highlights from 26, and a few things I'm looking forward to in my 27th year.
26: celebrated my first wedding anniversary with Miguel, grew my photography business, became more obsessed with Layla and successfully convinced myself that she understands what I'm saying at least 50% of the time, met some blog friends in real life, helped Jessica style her upcoming cookbook and so much more!
27: honestly, if 27 is as good as or almost as good as 26, I'll be happy. Also though, we're going to Spain next summer, so that's something to look forward to!
Ok so yes, I was planning on posting a different cake recipe, but between you and me, I wasn't obsessed with the photos, so onto the next one! This spelt flour gingerbread cake is made with—you guessed it—spelt flour! Have you ever used it? This is my first official spelt flour recipe on the blog, and I'll admit I'm kind of obsessed. I felt like the cake was extra moist (maybe because of the flour?!) and they say it has a slight nutty flavor to it. Either way, I'm into it.
Tip: If you don't have any on hand and/or don't feel like buying any, you can sub all purpose flour instead. Other tips/substitutions are included in the recipe notes!
The spelt flour gingerbread cake is filled with caramelized pears and topped with a simple mascarpone icing, and then drizzled with a gingerbread glaze. UM YEAH, it is as good as it sounds.
Cheers to lots of cake and all things gingerbread!
Spelt Flour Gingerbread Cake with Caramelized Pears
for the cake:
- 2 1/2 cups spelt flour*
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened**
- 1 1/2 cups cane sugar
- 1 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 3 tbsp molasses
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
for the icing:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 8 oz. mascarpone***
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk of choice if icing is too thick
for the glaze:
- 1 tbsp molasses
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk of choice if glaze is too thick
for the pears:
- 2 pears chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 2 tbsp cane sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Combine dry ingredients (flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, salt) in a bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar together, and then stir in the milk, applesauce, molasses, vinegar, and vanilla.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients together and stir so that everything's mixed really well.
- Next, line three 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper and/or grease them with coconut oil, and then pour batter evenly into the pans. Bake cakes for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Leave cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, and then run a knife along the edges and carefully invert them onto a cooling rack. Allow cakes to cool completely before icing them.
- For the icing: Stir butter, mascarpone and vanilla with an electric mixer, and then stir in the powdered sugar until icing is smooth. If it's too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of milk.
- For the glaze: Combine molasses, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl and stir with an electric mixer, and then stir in the powdered sugar until smooth.
- For the pears: combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and heat over medium-high. Stir pears semi-frequently until they are soft.
- To assemble: use a serrated knife to cut the tops of the cakes off (the domes) and then add icing to the top of one of the cakes. Top that layer with a handful of the cooked pears, and then add the second cake on top and repeat the process. Add icing to the top and sides of the cake, and then top the cake with the gingerbread glaze.
- Enjoy!
**or use dairy free butter to keep it dairy free
***alternatively, you can omit the mascarpone and use a tad more butter/dairy free butter instead to keep it dairy free

Hillary Might Have To Announce Very Soon
Hillary Clinton's stealth operation to take over as Commander-in-Chief is the worst kept secret in Washington, D.C., but could be official as soon as next week. If recent reports of the Clinton camp nabbing two floors of uber-trendy Brooklyn office digs turn out to be true, Hillary Clinton might soon have to declare herself an official candidate in the 2016 presidential race so not to violate Federal Election Commission rules. An anonymous source told POLITICO on Friday that Clinton's team has leased two stories of a building in one of most hipster-friendly neighborhoods in Brooklyn, supposedly to house the official Clinton campaign headquarters.
Clinton's team haven't commented on whether this is true, but FEC rules require candidates to disclose official campaign plans within 15 days of the first sign of campaign activity. So what's exactly "official campaign activity," you ask? I mean, you could buy special "Ready for Hillary" Manhattan glasses from the super PAC's online store for forever (which came in handy for many during Sunday night's season premiere of Mad Men), and I'm sure by now the HillaryBus has made a stop at a college campus near you.
According to the FEC's campaign guide, wannabe candidates can raise and spend funds up to $5,000 in order to "test the waters" without officially declaring a run for office. In an email to Bustle, FEC spokesperson Judith Ingram referenced the agency's campaign guide and website and gave a run-down on what else qualifies as "official campaign activity" and not "testing the waters."
Campaigning (as opposed to testing the waters) is apparent, for example, when individuals:
• Make or authorize statements that refer to themselves as candidates ("Smith in 2014" or "Smith for Senate");
• Use general public political advertising to publicize their intention to campaign;
• Raise more money than what is reasonably needed to test the waters or amass funds(seed money) to be used after candidacy is established;
• Conduct activities over a protracted period of time or shortly before the election; or
• Take action to qualify for the ballot.
Ingram was mum on whether signing a lease would qualify as "official campaign activity." "The regulations aren't that specific," wrote Ingram in an e-mail to Bustle.
News outlets such as The Washington Post contend that signing a lease would definitely be "official campaign activity." Clinton staff have yet to comment, but it may soon indeed be time for them to get the ball rolling on an official announcement. "Ready for Hillary" merch such as champagne glasses, cat collars, and even this totally adorable hoodie for your dog is leaving very few convinced by the Clinton camp's "It's Complicated" Facebook relationship status.
A conservative watchdog filed a complaint with the FEC on Thursday asking the agency to investigate whether Clinton might be way past the "testing waters" stage and in violation of FEC regulations.
Because if dog hoodies and totally sweet Brooklyn office digs aren't a sign of commitment, what else is?

After a few years of strong optimism regarding driverless cars and their potential to radically transform the way people live and travel, recent incidents and statements by key industry leaders may put a damper on that enthusiasm. Also, it may create significant implications for Washington's Autonomous Vehicle Work Group as it looks to make recommendations to the state legislature.
However, some transportation experts say the shifting attitudes will eventually swing back in a more positive direction once expectations are more closely aligned with the reality of how autonomous vehicle (AV) technology actually develops and progresses.
"They're beginning to discover some things are harder than they thought," Global Telematics President John Niles said.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) classifies autonomous vehicles in four levels, with level five as fully autonomous with no driver needed to operate. Car companies such as Waymo, Tesla and Ford are working on vehicles that fall between levels three and four.
"The hype was playing the level five to the limit," Niles said. "You'll just send your car to take your kids to the daycare or send it out for a pizza or groceries. For all this talk about how autonomous vehicles are coming quickly, wait a minute. Not quite."
However, last November Waymo CEO John Krafcik said that level five AVs capable of operating in all conditions without a driver is impossible. Waymo was originally created as the Google self-driving car project.
The current limitations of the technology was demonstrated in March of last year when a self-driving Uber in Arizona operating on a dark road struck and killed a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk; at the time of the incident, the back-up driver was streaming NBCs "The Voice" on her phone. However, it was later discovered Uber had disabled the vehicle's automatic braking system that might have prevented the accident.
After pulling its fleet from the roads, Uber's driverless cars are now back at it, but angst over their presence on public roads has prompted attacks on AVs. The reaction seems to affirm the conclusions of a 2018 research paper by Kanwaldeep Kaur and Giselle Rampersad published in the Journal of Engineering and Technology Management. The paper argued the "main barrier to adoption is the lack of public trust," and anticipates driverless cars won't become mainstream in the near future.
Others are highly cautious about speculating either way on the future of AVs. Regarding whether driverless five technology will ever happen, Washington Policy Center Transportation Director Mariya Frost told Lens "a lot of things were never supposed to happen." She added that "it's important to make sure that private citizens have the choice to purchase and own autonomous vehicles, and that AVs are not solely owned and operated by government entities."
Policy-wise, the chasm between level four and level five AVs is wide. Without a driver, issues of liability in the event of accidents or collisions are raised. Also, a debate over whether a legal adult – or a human at all – is required to be in the vehicle while it is operating would undoubtedly spark debate over security and safety.
"The real deal is when you take a licensed operator out of the car," Niles said. "That's the issue. That's a little ways down the road. We've got time to figure this out."
Coauthor of "The End of Driving," Niles also coauthored a paper with Bern Grush titled "Getting past the hype" that examines AVs using Gartner's Technology Hype Cycle. The paper concluded that over-hype regarding level five AVs would create disillusionment, followed by a more realistic attitude possibly around 2020.
Even if the level five AV technology is ever realized, Niles writes that they would "suffer severe access limitations in their first decade or so," in part because their use "implies either mixing them with semi-autonomous ones on the same roadway, setting up separate lanes and safe-havens at great expense."
In the meantime, Niles says as far as regulations are concerned, "automation so far has been no problem. There has always been a responsible driver behind the wheel. The path that we're on right now, they're going to assist drivers, they're going to make things safer, they're going to cut down on congestion."
A more modest vision for fully autonomous vehicles would have them restricted to closed environments, whether that be public transportation systems like Vancouver, B.C.'s SkyTrain, a corporate campus, industry work sites or a private resort such as Disneyworld. Closed environments like those are ones in which people "are most likely to adopt driverless cars," according to Kaur and Rampersad's paper.

Westworld Tv Series Season 1,2, 3 Torrent Download. Here you can Download Westworld All Seasons All Episodes Torrent with English Subtitles, Yify, Kickass, EZTV
A dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, it explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.
It's not your blame in case you're completely befuddled by the promoting for "Westworld," which debuts on HBO Sunday.
The boards for the arrangement, a refresh of a 1973 film featuring Yul Brenner, include a metallic-looking female figure reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" — the name of that picture of a man in idealize extent inside a hover — with Western mountains as a background. Which lets you know… nothing.
At any rate, it discloses to you nothing about the plot of the show. It really discloses to you a great deal about the thoughts behind it. I've seen the initial four scenes, and I think the show is significantly more fascinating for the thoughts it investigates than for the story it tells, at any rate up until this point.
"Westworld" is the name of a Western amusement stop populated by robots who play a wide range of Western prime examples — outlaws, cantina managers, lawmen, whores. Consider it "Jurassic Park" with robot cowhands rather than dinosaurs.
People pay to visit this world, and showcase their gunman dreams — and sexual dreams. And a wide range of different dreams. They can would whatever they like to the robots — affront them, have intercourse with them, murder them. The robots can't hurt them back

|The western view from Devil's Dyke
It happened that a little old lady with nothing better to do than stay up late and peek out her window, spied the Devil and his massive shovel, and figured he was up to no good. She lit a candle and stuck it on her windowsill. The light of the candle woke her rooster, who promptly puffed out his chest and cock-a-doodle-dooed, thinking it was morning. Wiping the sweat from his red brow, the Devil figured it was morning and tromped on home to get some shut-eye.
Suffice to say, the Devil didn't go back to his digging, and the valley was never flooded.
|Tiki Stew and Sara Kerry -- the devils afoot
We actually didn't walk very far, but I have read that the trail is about five miles and circular. It is up and down steep valley sides, so not stroller-friendly.
|Sara Kerry and the devilish Hill Baby
There's a pub at the parking lot where you can find hearty English food, a stiff drink, and toilets. Keep an eye out for bunnies--they are everywhere. And if you don't want to drive there, you can take an open-top bus from the centre of Brighton in the summer.

Last time we ever ride on those things.
Nothing is petty when you are dealing with skyliners! In an instant things can go horribly wrong, no matter how careful you have been in the past!!!
Disney is a Great Company. Things don't always go as planned. It's unfortunate that happened when guests were on it. I'm sure Disney will take all necessary precautions it won't happen again. I'm also sure that Disney took very good care of these guests after. If you think about how many billions of people have gone through Disney doors …. I would feel perfectly safe. Amazing this made the news.. how petty.
