In the world of Hungarian literature, of Kertész and Krúdy, of Konrád and Krasznahorkai, how can a writer stand out? Attila Bartis answers that question with his foul masterwork, Tranquility. First published in 2001 and in English for the first time this month, Bartis's Tranquility is a book of unfathomable realism—by which, of course, I mean endless cruelty, depthless pain and emotional deadness.
Set in post-communist Budapest, this novel is the life of Andor Weér, a writer. Weér is a continually conflicted character and bears comparison to Philip Roth's Portnoy and Zuckerman, particularly so in his disturbing relationships with women, especially his mother. Rebeka Weér is a living corpse, a reclusive actress who, though she hasn't seen a stage in decades, has yet to give up her overwrought theatricality. The home they share—which her son frequently refers to as a crypt—is cluttered with stolen stage furniture, "the armchair had one belonged to Lady Macbeth, the bed to Laura Lenbach, and the chest of drawers to Anna Karenina." In flashbacks, Ms. Weér is a singularly self-absorbed woman, sexually liberated and unfeeling toward her children. When her daughter, a gifted concert violinist, leaves communist Hungary to pursue her career elsewhere, Rebeka Weér's reaction is macabre and cold:
She opened the coffin with her foot and threw in Judit's letters. Then all of the sheet music from Paganini to Stravinsky, then the music stand, the strings and the resin. From the birth certificate and the left-behind clothes to Judit's coffee mug, she threw everything into the coffin . . . anything with the slightest hint at Judit Weér's existence would go into the coffin.
And as if the ceremonial killing of her daughter were not enough, she buried her also, then:
. . . she purchased ten blank death notices and . . . continued to copy from the telephone book the mailing address of the Ministry, because she was sending death notices not only to my sister, but to the theatre's party secretary.
Tranquility is a book that never considers its reader—a fact I find gratifying. In fact, the novel is so thoroughly immersed in the troubled mind of Andor Weér that we lose sight of Attila Bartis completely. Weér is so wholly developed, so completely bared to the reader, as to seem more real than his author. Weér seems to have written this novel himself; these are his thoughts and memories and not merely thoughts and memories ascribed to him by some mysterious author. The style of the text, the tendency to run as a stream of consciousness and to occasionally blur together phrases like, "wherehaveyoubeenson" and "Idon'tknowmyself," makes it all the more internal, personal to the character.
Much can be said of Weér and his peculiar development. The novel's form, however, is what makes it truly exceptional, and what makes it real. Time is utterly fluid; events from Weér's are presented to the reader without chronology becoming at all confusing; this is some very artful time-play and well worth the price of admission. Through this device, Weér's miserable life is relived for our benefit, from his early experiences with sex through the torture of life with his addled mother.
As his mother ages. the phrase "wherehaveyoubeenson" is a frequent one; Weér's mother has grown old and weird, Weér writes:
That for fifteen years I've been getting the vitamins, the Valerian drops, lipsticks, nail polish and hair dyes for my mother and for fifteen years she's been sitting in the flickering gray light of the TV or standing in the blind spots of her mirror. Considered in this way, she's been dead for years. An ordinary corpse, its stench concealed by the smell of mint tea and its skin rubbed human-colored with vanishing-cream.
This Hitchcockian corpse-mother haunts Weér, but adds a predictable stability to his life through times of change.
Really, many aspects of this novel reflect the uncertainty that came of living in flux, through the waxing and waning of communist rule. As in the quote above, Weér's mother fearfully (and vindictively), buried her daughter alive. Hungarians are overheard to say things like "We'll have to pay the bill one day for our new freedom" and Weér himself noticed that, ". . . everybody was talking politics then too. Some people wanted neutrality with lots of banks, as in Switzerland . . ." Somehow communism always seems to lead to oppressive bureaucracy, to a Kafkaesque state, to absurdity. For a reasonable person, this can be crushing. For literature, however, it is an unbelievable godsend. An encounter with the police brought an incredible exchange that stands out as one of the most powerfully disturbing in a book of already extraordinary power.
Much of this power comes from the remarkable depth of depravity in this novel. The grotesque realism provides a daring contrast to the self-indulgent introspection of Weér, but no respite from the overwhelming darkness. My sense of good taste doesn't prevent me from mentioning Andor Weér's early dalliance with incest, but certain passages did cause me to blush uncomfortably; I won't quote them. This book approaches sexuality like a war and the acts described are damaging and painful, to both the narrator and to the reader. This is powerful writing intent on exposing human sexuality as it exposes so many private things.
More than anything else, that sense of exposure captures the central purpose of this book; nothing is sacrosanct: not religion, not government, not life, love, or motherhood. Bartis and Weér, Weér and Bartis; they touch everything normal and leave nightmarish fingerprints and filthy smears across it all. Their artistry, though, is thrilling and this book is an extraordinary achievement. But for me, one question remains: in all of this obscenity and blood and emotional turmoil, where can one find any tranquility?
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .

Dear Carrie: I'm especially young in my career (right out of college), but I want to start saving for retirement. What's better, a Roth IRA or a 401(k)? Should I contribute to both or only one? Where should I put most of my savings? --A Reader
Dear Reader: First, kudos for thinking about starting to save for retirement now. Most people your age don't. That's not a surprise. After all, you're just starting out on your own and have many other financial firsts to deal with, such as rent, insurance, car payments -- all the economic responsibilities that come with being independent. But to me, starting to save -- especially for retirement -- is probably the most important financial step you can take. So, thanks for giving me the chance to once again talk about one of my favorite subjects.
Both a Roth IRA and a 401(k) are excellent ways to save for retirement. And you don't necessarily have to choose between them. In fact, in the right circumstances they can work together.
At your age, here are some things to think about:
Start with your 401(k) -- If your employer offers a 401(k), take advantage of it. Contribute at least up to the company match; it's like getting free money. Plus, it's easy. Your 401(k) contributions are taken directly out of your paycheck, so you won't really miss the money. Also, contributions are tax deductible, reducing what you might owe Uncle Sam, and you won't pay taxes on your earnings while your money grows. However, you will pay income taxes on both your contributions and your earnings when you withdraw your money after age 59 1/2.
Consider opening a Roth IRA -- If you don't have a 401(k) at work, definitely open a Roth. Chances are at this stage of your professional life, you'll fit within the current income limit of $105,000 for single filers. Contributions to a Roth IRA aren't tax deductible up front, but your earnings grow tax-free, and withdrawals are tax-free when you wait the requisite number of years. Since there's a good possibility that you'll be in a higher income tax bracket when it comes time to make withdrawals, this could be a tremendous benefit. And even if you do contribute to a 401(k), you could still open a Roth IRA to cover all your bases and save even more. Currently, you can contribute up to $16,500 to a 401(k) and $5,000 to an IRA. That's a lot of potential savings!

Mike Redmond will make his MLB managing debut with the Miami Marlins in 2013, so it would be understandable if the casual fan has never heard of him. The former catcher spent 13 seasons in the majors and won a World Series with the Marlins in 2003, but that was before Miami prospect Jose Fernandez's time. Fernandez, the top pitching prospect in the Marlins system according to Baseball America, was asked a general question about Redmond on Tuesday and it caught him off guard. Simply put, he had no idea what Miami's new manager's name was. "Can you talk about how Mike Redmond was here today?" Local 10′s Alyana Cristal asked Fernandez on Tuesday. "Who?" the puzzled youngster replied. Video of the humorous exchange can be seen here. Someone then informed Fernandez that Redmond is now the manager of the MLB club that he aspires to pitch for one day. "Oh, okay. I don't know his name, I just met him," Fernandez said. "I just met him a bit ago. We had a meeting so he passed by at the meeting and introduced himself. He's pretty nice." Clearly he didn't make a fantastic impression. Redmond obviously isn't as famous or as big a personality as Ozzie Guillen was, but one would think the top prospect in a minor league system would know the name of the highest-ranking manager in the organization. If Fernandez still doesn't know who Redmond is by April, then we can start worrying. The post Marlins prospect Jose Fernandez did not know new manager Mike Redmond's name appeared first on Larry Brown Sports.

It seems that as I grow older I have much more difficulty understanding the minds of people. I read where the U.S. attorney general is conducting campaigns and legal action against several states for trying to impose voter identification programs to prevent voter fraud during our upcoming presidential elections. I also hear the cries that the policies the states are trying to implement are strictly race-based discrimination programs.
This time, they got it right with T-Tax.
When most people think about our Independence Day, they think about a war fought and won, a nation created and stars and stripes. This is all well and good in the perception of remembrance because it is quite important. However, I would have to argue that it was more than that to our Founding Fathers. I would theorize that this day was symbolic of foresight and stewardship.
Enough is enough. The people who are trying to pass this sales tax are asking for $16 billion to $19 billion. That's billion, which is equivalent to adding an extra 25-cent tax on each gallon of gas.
Fifty years ago, in January 1962, I wrote an editorial for the school newspaper of Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, which I attended. It could have been written today, and with some updates, reads like this:
Brent Holloway's article about sharing the road with cyclists blames the biker for using the road they are entitled to and certainly helped pay for. Three feet of pavement on each side of a few roads in Hall and surrounding Northeast Georgia counties is not too much to ask for.
I was born and raised in the country, have some wisdom, but I am far from the smartest person in the world.
Regarding John Stossel's June 25 article on free speech, I suggest the First Amendment was intended to protect individuals from arrest or corporal punishment as reprisal for infringing speech.
Our past and present Georgia governors and legislature have the responsibility of spending some of our tax dollars on Georgia roads. They have been allocating and spending nearly $2 billion per year. Additionally, our federal tax dollars are being spent on Georgia transportation.
Many of us are not directly affected by the devastation that war can have on a family. Often the brave men and women who sacrifice everything for us all are just people in uniforms or wounded warriors who are plagued with a plethora of seen or unseen medical conditions, causing us to feel bad for them and their families.
I plan to vote "yes" to the T-SPLOST on July 31, and I encourage you to do the same.
Back during Apollo 13's disaster in outer space, prayers went up by the millions. The Catholic Pope had millions praying. The priests in Jerusalem had thousands praying. Many other countries had their people praying for the Apollo 13 crew.
His enemies have named it "Obamacare" as a slur, but our new health care law is aptly named because Obama really does care. He crafted this legislation for the people and he will fight for us and for our best interests through a forest of curses and gritted teeth. We have a champion.
On behalf of the local and regional tourism industry, I am writing in support of the upcoming T-SPLOST referendum to improve our roadways.
Why you should think twice before voting on the T-SPLOST 1 percent sales tax on July 31:
Many people are like sheep concerning buzzwords. One participates and the rest follow the herd. Eventually, a buzzword becomes annoying, trite and ready for banishment.
The front page headline Sunday in The Times read "Where have all the voters gone?" Let's go back just a few months to the fall of 2014 when midterm elections were in the news. Recall The Times writing about how politicians in Hall County were concerned that SPLOST VII would not be passed by voters for a seventh time if SPLOST VII was placed on the November 2014 ballot?
I read with concern the two recent items in The Times regarding alleged bullying at Myers Elementary (March 7 article, March 19 letter to the editor). Quite honestly, I was confused; I thought perhaps I had read the name of the school incorrectly, and even more confused when I read the principal involved in the articles. I started shaking my head, thinking,"Are you kidding me? Are they really accusing Beth Hudgins of dealing improperly with a situation so potentially hurtful?"
I am writing in response to the article, "Bullying incidents test school policy in Hall County, Gainesville" of March 7. It saddened me to read such negative words about Beth Hudgins.
I recently read in The Times, and I was not really surprised, what sweet idea America has now: Tens of thousands of immigrant children are allowed here, in the good old u.s.a. via Florida.
Amidst the horror and grief of Selma and Ferguson, I heard a tender story that I would like to share with our readers.
Mary Drummer is right on about Georgia's senators being wrong to have sent a letter to Iran. They are certainly overstepping their place and proving once again that they, of the Republican party, are incapable of sensibly leading this country's government.
I am writing in response to the article from March 7, "Bullying incidents test school policy in Hall County, Gainesville." As a parent of a child in elementary school, the subject is concerning to me. However, I am not worried at all because my child goes to Myers Elementary School. I'm not worried because I have 100 percent faith in my son's teacher and his principal to do the right thing for my child, and those in his class.
There have been some recent headlines about home sales falling. Those headlines are misleading. Housing sales look different from one month to another and from one quarter to another.
If Hall County government/Chamber of Commerce/Hall Progress 2015 could be truthful about the SPLOST, the following is what they would say:
Sens. Isakson and Perdue: As your constituent, I am writing to tell you how dismayed I am at your act of signing a letter to Iran, a foreign enemy country and its leaders, while our president is conducting diplomatic negotiations along with our allies to reduce, verify and contain Iran's nuclear program.
While there are frequent conflicts between what is good for the environment and what is good for the economy, the carbon fee and dividend plan proposed by the Citizens Climate Lobby is a refreshing exception.
The General Assembly considering removing legal ads from the legal county newspaper? No! Some folks don't have or can't use computers. Just cut out something on the useless list. Legal ads are on the useful list, I think.
On more than one occasion, I have taken pen to paper to offer my criticism of your newspaper. It is expected that we subscribers will do that. When a newspaper does something that I feel is commendable, I will also offer my praise as well as extending my subscription another quarter.

ceiling(log(8)/log(2)) => ceiling(log(8)/log(2))
and only simplifies to a number when the argument is evaluated as a float.
float(ceiling(log(2^80)/log(2))) => 80 (an integer)
float(ceiling(log(2^80-1)/log(2))) => 80.0 (a float)
Shouldn't float(...) always be returning a float if it's returning a number? I think the problem is that it assumes that if f(x) simplifies to a number, and x is a float, then f(x) is a float.
I think it makes sense for ceiling(2.3) => 3 (not 3.0), so the problem seems to be in float, not in simp-ceiling.
You could argue that ceiling should do a better job in the first place, but that's an orthogonal issue, and in any case it will never handle all possible cases.

It was the standard quick business trip to Singapore but with an added long weekend with Mr PP thrown in. We had a lovely relaxing time. We arrived late on the Friday night and thankfully fell into bed at our luxury secluded hotel. Saturday morning was a day of adventure – straight to Marina Bay Sands for a look around the Casino and the hotel/shops, followed by a delightful couple of hours exploring Gardens by the Bay.
Then it was off to Raffles Hotel for the traditional Singapore Sling – which was very refreshing given the heat and humidity. China Town was in preparation to welcome the Chinese New Year and the markets were crowded. Orchard Road was just its usual beautiful self later into the evening.
The hotel was a little out of the way, but a very relaxing oasis to enjoy some quiet time.
Two highlights of the trip was definitely the Singapore Turf Club and the Singapore Zoo Breakfast with the Orangutans Experience. We were very well looked after in the Owners Lounge thanks to our reciprocal ATC membership. I even backed a winner! The Orangutans were so beautiful and it was a real treat to get so close and have some photos taken. I could have stayed and watched them for hours!!
All good things come to an end and the work side of things wasn't too bad. I met some nice people and got the business done. Then it was back to Sydney on a full QANTAS flight and then back to the office.
I would recommend Singapore to anyone who wanted a relaxing long weekend!

After recent batting collapses, Oxford captain Ian Crosby urged his side to stand up and be counted ahead of their Serious Cricket Home Counties League Division 1 clash at Slough on Saturday.
Oxford seemed to be heading down the same road when losing four wickets for 42 after being put in to bat.
But it was Crosby himself, along with Jamie Perkin, who stood up and turned a potential batting crisis into their highest score of the season Crosby (91) and Perkin (82) added 158 for the fifth wicket and further support down the order saw them reach a massive 299-7.
It was not enough to secure a victory as Slough battled to a draw at 216-7, but the fighting display will have done wonders for Oxford's confidence.
Things looked very different after the first hour.
Slough seamer Raja Nawaz knocked over the first four Oxford batsmen – including Stewart Laudat – in no time at all, to leave the visitors in big trouble.
But Perkin and Crosby went on the offensive and wrested the initiative from the Slough bowlers.
Perkin's 82 came off 125 balls with ten fours, while the more aggressive Crosby took only 101 balls for his innings, which contained 14 fours.
Both departed within seven runs of each other.
But their lead was taken up by John Barrett with a run-a-ball unbeaten 53 and Mark Beer, who scored 38 not out from 46 deliveries.
Nawaz finished with damaged figures of 4-80 from 17 overs.
Beer then struck two early blows at the start of the Slough reply, dismissing Waqas Hussain and Shahid Yousaf.
When Geyhas Khan fell to Freddie Simon to make it 65-3, Oxford had hopes of forcing a victory.
But Nabil Shah's rapid half-century, and good supporting innings from Feroz Baig and Bobby Sher kept Oxford at bay before they both fell to Shami Mendis.
Slough never looked like getting close, but secured a draw thanks to an unbroken eighth-wicket stand of 33.
Beer took 3-75 from 13 overs for Oxford, who were the happier team at the end of the match.

Whole Foods is the least of your worries.
How about all the other chain grocery stores that don't give a damn about what they sell to their consumers? So don't put the heat on one grocery chain and not another that doesn't even care. And now that the video has ben censored from YouTube they have a "seal" of "disapproval" and it's all of a sudden God's word? Besides, the video misses one large point....contacting and talking directly to Whole Foods about this. They never did that. Always give someone the chance to retort if you're going to accuse them of such things. They could have done this the right way but they lost all credibility in my eyes.

I want to do matrix multiplication with 2 non square matrices,(2000,100), (100,100), I try to use block submatrix as in the Nvidia example, but the result is wrong, I found a solved method here. Non Square Matrix Multiplication in CUDA it uses zero padding, so I change block size to 16, but it's a wrong work group size, I use pyopencl and can't use Blas and so on.

One of the best presentations I have seen on the topic to date was at AFDS 2011.
Their matrices were huge --Linpack-sized-- and non-square. You can scale their main GPU kernel's block size down from 1024 to something smaller (32,64,128?) to better solve your problem, as possibly even fit into LDS on your hardware. The presenters used the CPU to process the irregular dimensioned areas that were untouched by the GPU.

- Since there was a decent demand for tutorials about my technique on the tron/cyborg painting I did a few month ago Android Legacy
Today I tried to cover the essential steps in a making-of and how-to on this blog. The suggested requirements are Photoshop from CS3/4/5 a Wacom tablet and it is an advantage if pen tool, brushes and layers are familiar to you, just in case you want to recreate the image. The workshop is for advanced users.
- The whole tutorial is published as a 6-page-workshop in the German magazine der bildbearbeiter (former Advanced Photoshop) and is, you can guess it, in German language. But since many of you asked, I negotiated that I am able to publish a part of the tutorial process in English language for foreign readers, unfortunately just not in depth as the printed version, if there are questions to any specific point, feel free to ask in a comment and I explain it.
If you are German and want to read the whole tutorial, bitte hier klicken und das Magazin bestellen.
- Why another android-tron-cyborg-fembot-like painting you may ask? Well, the challenge for an artist is to see things from a different angle.
The idea for the following was inspired by a stock-image from Marcus J. Ranum (first frame in step 01) and was used with written permission for this workshop. If possible I recommend making your own reference or stock-images, but because no one can be gifted in everything, nothing speaks against a collaboration with talented photographers and models.
For commissioned work, my workflow is somewhat different and starts usually with a rough sketch. This method of working although allows for a very free approach and also to concentrate on new techniques.
Compositing and the possibility to play with different elements is the kind of freedom I embrace in photo manipulation combined with digital painting.
- Since there was little time for the workshop and workshop piece, I had the idea to use a flat background and build it from something analogue to achieve an authentic look.
For this I took and cut some paper boards and findings and draped them into a graphical arrangement like you can see in the unedited shot in The image above, pretty basic handiwork. I made a photograph of it and adjusted that with camera-raw converter into black and white.
In between I cropped the figure with the polygonal lasso tool from the background, so that I am able to put my newly photographed paper-mess behind the model. If you´re not fond of the lasso tool, my friend Conzpiracy has a nice introduction to the pen tool as a way to cut or remove parts, recommended watch!
- From there I concentrated on the background first. Coloring and brushwork is done. Brushes courtesy of Thierry Doizonand Obsidiandawn were used to make the paper look like a sci-fi metal / glass plate with lots of tech built inside (above image) and of course the obsessive use of color changes and layer styles.
Subscribers to the magazine mentioned at the beginning, are able to download the complete background PSD-file to see how it is done layer by layer.
The tubes in the image below were done using the pen tool in Photoshop, the basic technique on how to run a brush on a path can be found in this video resource here.
- Now the interesting work starts, the tech parts get painted freehand, directly on the skin. For this, I have made a simple example to visualize how in six easy steps, the general structure of the patterns look. Unfortunately there is no shortcut for this work, except you have someone else doing it for you :)
- The fine design on the skin is more time consuming, but its worth it.
If possible, I always work freehand without using masks.
Masking limits the creative approach needed to create the design directly on the skin. Even a machine is not 100% perfectly assembled, so don´t try to replicate something as perfect as it will never be, the result will be artificial and viewers notice that.
- An interesting twist is the hummingbird, I wanted it to look cyborg-android like too and the same technique was used. On the image below you see the eye of the hummingbird and the process with the lighting that is the same process used on the main character. It is vital to make use of layers wherever possible. You should know your layer palette to understand how to work on top of an object, how to add more light to a bright color and how to use layer styles. A good resource regarding how to paint with layers is CTRL-Paint, it´s a free resource with lots of great videos and tutorials!
Seeing this picture I remember that there was another tube, the one the bird has in its mouth, well the same technique from-path-to-brush-stroke took place here and a little more "cut-and-paste" to get the tube between the jaw. The image of the hummingbird can be found on istockphoto. I changed the colors with layer-styles and made the wings look as if they were moving with various blur tools.
- The images below show the progress on the lighting and details on the skin, the lighting was done exactly the way the eye of the hummingbird was done.
- The final step, after everything is merged down to just a few layers, I work on details, revisions and effects, such as mist, glow, cleaning up of some parts and changes that contribute to the overall coherence of the image. Below you see the final image after all revisions are done.

'Tindall can develop into top-end coach'
ESPN Staff
August 14, 2012
Mike Tindall will combine his playing duties with coaching next term © Getty Images
Gloucester centre Mike Tindall has all the attributes necessary to develop into a high-level coach, according to his boss Nigel Davies.
Tindall took on the role of player/coach at the Aviva Premiership side back in June after a period of time where it seemed likely that the former England centre had played his last game in Gloucester colours. But with the Cherry and Whites embracing the new regime headed up by Davies, Tindall is apparently flourishing and is showing promising signs despite it being early days in his coaching career.
"He's doing very well, I'm delighted with all the coaches really," Davies told the Gloucester Citizen. "We've spent our time wisely so far and everything is coming along quite well.
"I'm not putting any pressure on him in that regard, to allow him time to get a feel for things, but he's pushing things forward very nicely and pretty quickly. And having met him and spoken to people who know him I'm not surprised really, because of his rugby knowledge.
"This is the next phase of his career and I don't see why he can't evolve and develop into a real top-end coach."
Tindall was in the midst of the England set-up for nearly 11 years and this was primarily down to his own drive to improve his own game and adjust to the ever-changing nature of rugby. Davies believes Tindall's ability to analyse a game technically will pay dividends as he embarks on his coaching career.
"I think that some players are just very natural and have a lot of natural ability at the game, and those sometimes are the players that don't always make the best coaches," Davies said. "But Tinds is somebody who has worked extremely hard at his game technically over the years, and is very confident in every area of his own game.
"And he knows what it takes and how hard you have to work to step up through the levels and then make a success of that too. So he's got that naturally, but I think most importantly when you look at potential coaches, I think you've got to look at the quality of the person.
"And if the quality of the person is right, in terms of their work ethic, their desire and their commitment, their ability and their motivation to develop themselves, then that's half the battle. And I think Tinds exhibits all those qualities and I think he has done very well in a short space of time so far.
"He's got a big future in coaching and it will be great to see him continue to develop and progress here."

Anacampseros telephiastrum
Staged this over the weekend, what do you think?
It's difficult to keep myself from salivating when I look at that! What a majestic plant! It must be pretty old.
On a sidenote, I've recently fallen in love with anacampseros but am having difficulty finding good literature about them. I'm still not even sure how to distinguish a rufescens from a telephiastrum. Do you have any advice on reading material? Sorry to sort of hijack your thread!
This plant is very old, I've had at least 10yrs and the guy I got from had it 15-20yrs. It has seen hard times, I forgot I had till a week ago (one of the problems of having so many plants). Those few days of warmth I was out cleaning up and found it totally grown over with weeds. Can't remember the lat time I intentionally watered it.
Pot has a 5.5" diameter x 1.25" deep
Gordon Rowley has published, 1995. Anacampseros, Avonia, Grahamia-A Grower's Handbook. Hull Rd (GB). British Cactus and Succulent Society. 80 pp. I didn't think that A. telephiastrum and A. rufescens were synonyms, but perhaps you have a citation for that (they are reported to have different chromosome numbers, among other features). Rowley has keys, illustrations, but there have been misgivings about his treatment of the genus Anacampseros.
Thanks for the great photo-plant-pot! Yale

I've forced myself to /ignore so many people in my ~1600 games played... So much so that my Ignore list is full and possibly broken.
When I /ignore someone in-game, it ignores them for the duration of the game (as usual), but then automatically un-ignores in the post-game lobby because my Ignore list is full.
Now, I've tried manually un-ignoring each person, but it does not always work. Sometimes they are taken off the list just fine. Other times my Ignore list completely breaks -- after a few un-ignores, the Ignore list just goes blank and I cannot see or select any of the names that should be there, then it re-adds those I took off when I relog.
So please, it would be very helpful if a Rioter could just clear my entire Ignore list. Thanks
Quick edit: I'm not sure if there IS actually a cap, but the last time I estimated, I had between 350-400 people on the Ignore list.

It is actually broken, when you ignore a large amount of people, ignoring anymore will cause a issue with pvp.net and close it for you.
Its been around for a long time.
same for me, i thought it was ignore in general.
