Oncoming Traffic
A series of short stories, all under 1000 words, on a variety of themes.
Against your better judgement, I walk along the road. You look at me like I'm some sort of child; I'm not sure I like it. You keep looking and it almost makes me want to cry. I walk more slowly to keep up with you. We used to skip and run and laugh together but we've grown up since then. We used to hold hands and were friends to the end (of whatever our childish minds perceived that week) but our worlds have changed, and they cannot go back. Neither can we. You tell me about the birds fluttering past my head, spraying their cries and excrement wherever they please. We listen for cars, vans, lorries... but the air is quiet.
I can see you from the far side of the room, staring blankly onwards as if there is something unbelievably fascinating that needs to be observed but I can't see it. I want to reach out and pull you into my arms again but you're too far away, so far that I don't imagine I'll ever get to you. I can still picture that smile and hear the adventure in your voice when we spent our younger decades talking about living on the moon and using that magical phrase 'one day'. You remain where you are, impassive and unmoving, and I watch the tears try not to roll down my face. I hear you tell me everything will be better soon and I agree with my laughter. I blink and look away, tilt my head, and stop breathing.
You join me in the road, sneering away any of your doubts. We link arms as we always have and pull together for strength and warmth. We play hide and seek with our sun, knowing that it has ducked behind a cloud but letting it think we can't see it. We pretend, for fear of the real. Your ear is always in the wind, tugging on me whenever anything dangerous comes our way. I like to leave it to the last second, I like the rush more than you do, more than you ever did. Your eyes meet mine and we cry for what could have been and smile at what is. We were friends throughout time, a constant through past, present and future.
I'm allowed to touch you. My hand rests on your face and our eyes meet for what I'm afraid will be the last time. My heart slows and your life flashes before my eyes. I see behind your silent lips all the brewing arguments, all the mellifluous songs, all the heartfelt insults. There is something stirring at the back of my mind, a feeling that covers me and saddens me. Your eyes are blue with a hint of green. Your fingernails are overgrown. Your feet are protruding: you never did like them, did you?
We used to walk for hours. We were covered in blisters but it didn't matter, we were made of sterner stuff. You didn't like me spitting on the roadside; I didn't like you knowing where we were. I ask you where we're going but you don't understand. At the junction, you turn left and I turn right; our separate ways take us to our separate homes.
They tell me something I don't want to hear, they nod solemnly. No, not yet. I wish I had been there at the end, I wish I could have helped. I ignore my uselessness and kiss you softly. Your skin is cold. I don't want to breathe again but my love makes me. "You stay with me," I tell you, and you do.
I feel overwhelmed by light and noise. This is not our road anymore; this city belongs to someone else. But I linger, a phantom of the never-known past. I remain on street corners and force the memories to come back; I will time to turn around and do something different. My eyes clench shut in pain and a bloody, rapturous scream escapes me.
And the road is mine again. We walk together, against our better judgement, down that familiar path. But you aren't there to save me anymore.

The Manitou Passageby The Mighty Mitten - Great Lakes Art
20% Off + Free Shipping - Ends Tonight at Midnight PT!
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
The shipping channel between the Manitou Islands and Sleeping Bear Dunes on the Michigan mainland presents an opportune shortcut for Great Lakes freighters, but the passage can be perilous in rough weather and has become the final resting place for innumerable Great Lakes ships and sailors.
This print illustrates the South Manitou Island lighthouse and the wreck of the SS Francisco Morazan, a Liberian cargo ship that was grounded just off the South Manitou shore during a storm in 1960. In the background, the Manitou Shoals Light - "The Crib" - can be seen marking the dangerous shallows between the islands and the mainland.

Chick, Ran and everyone else
I have been away to Montreal attending a Hockey Tournament with my son for
the weekend and came back to a lot of interesting postings about container
versus field grown. It stimulated more response than I thought it would and
has brought to light many aspects about growing Hosta I hope everyone found
interesting and helpful. One person, I believe, responded that we all used
our opinions in this discussion and they are right, wade through the
postings because there is no right and wrong here, just a lot of good info
based on different gardening practises and experiences.
Many Thanx

Michael Kinsley, Bloomberg View
"[A] wealth of information.... Dr. Sander and Mr. Taylor present an excellent explanation of what is currently meant by affirmative action and demonstrate how it has been abused."
New York Journal of Books
"[A] remarkable new book. [Sander and Taylor] have shifted the focus of the entire debate. Bypassing the standard arguments about core principles, their extensive research focuses on the actual effects of racial preferences on the students they were intended to benefit. Drawing upon data never before available to independent-minded scholars, they find, to their dismay, that such policies actually do more harm than good to black and Hispanic students. From now on, it will be impossible to have a serious debate on this subject without extensive reference to the evidence provided in this volume."
National Review
"The highly anticipated Sander-Taylor book, Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It's Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won't Admit It, was published Tuesday, on the eve of the oral argument in Fisher v. Texas. It is, in a word, magisterial. No matter what the Supremes decide, this work will be regarded as a major — perhaps the major — discussion of the use and abuse of race in American higher education, easily displacing Bowen and Bok's unduly influential The Shape of the River, which it respectfully but effectively eviscerates.... As someone who has attempted to follow racial issues closely, I can assure you that you will learn, as I did, a great deal that you didn't know and be impressed by the wealth of social science evidence ably and judiciously presented to support and extend the mismatch theory.... Mismatch, in short, is a major contribution to the debate over affirmative action, a model of vigorous but fair and balanced argument and analysis."
John S. Rosenberg, Minding the Campus
"The evidence on [the wrongs perpetrated by affirmative action programs] is hotly disputed, but Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor Jr. make a compelling case in their book Mismatch."
David Brooks, New York Times
"The best argument against affirmative action is presented in Mismatch, by Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor. The subtitle says it all: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students Its Intended to Help and Why Universities Won't Admit It.... If Sander and Taylor are right, affirmative action may be a policy that hurts Asians and helps no one. But this is an uncomfortable thing to say. For one thing, we don't know that they're right — there is a hot debate over their thesis. But even if they are right, the remedy is bound to be very divisive..... It's worth noting that it should be relatively easy to tell whether Sander and Taylor are right, except that it's very hard to get the data. And it's hard to get the data because institutions fight like hell to keep it from being released. It's no surprise that we can't all agree on a remedy for historical racism. But it should be easy to agree to study the problem."
Megan McArdle, The Daily Beast
"The devastating new book Mismatch
has so much overwhelming evidence on the harm done to students who are black, Hispanic, or from other 'under-represented' minorities, that it will be hard for anyone with pretensions of honesty to be able to deny that painful fact.... Sander and Taylor have written an outstanding book that deserves to be read and pondered in many places for many years. They have performed a major service for all those who have an open mind on affirmative action."
Thomas Sowell, Claremont Review of Books
"[An] eye-opening new book.... The argument Sander and Taylor make is unpopular among academic administrators, and, they illustrate, it has been systematically suppressed. But the evidence that they present makes obvious that the solution to educational inequity is not to be found in continuing to mask it with racial admissions preferences that harm students."
Science Careers
"Anyone who wants an honest look at the hard facts about racial preferences in admissions to colleges and universities will find it — perhaps for the first time — in a book titled Mismatch by Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor, Jr.... The careful analysis of documented facts makes Mismatch a rare and valuable book for people who want to think."
Thomas Sowell, Creators Syndicate
"In the real world, there is little doubt that racial preferences are a failure. In their judicious book Mismatch, Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor Jr. catalog the twisted effect of preferences on schools beholden to them."
Rich Lowry, National Review Online
"[Stuart Taylor's] book is wonderful.... [It's] the most thoughtful account of the possible policy disadvantages of affirmative action in putting students who are mismatched...at universities where they're not prepared."
Jeffrey Rosen, on NPR's Diane Rehm Show
"In their outstanding book, Mismatch, Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor Jr. document the paradoxical results of giving large preferences to racial and other minorities. Sander and Taylor argue persuasively that the trouble with preferences is not the injustice done to people like Abigail Fisher, who was denied admission to the University of Texas while less qualified black and Hispanic applicants were accepted — though that is unfair — but also the harm it does to those to whom such preferences are extended."
Mona Charen, Creators Syndicate
"This book probably will make constitutional history. Written at the intersection of social science and law, its data conclusively demonstrate the damage that has been done to intended beneficiaries by courts' decisions that have made racial preferences in college admissions an exception to the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection of the laws."
George F. Will
"As a longtime defender of affirmative action, I used to think the so-called mismatch problem was an overhyped myth. But Sander and Taylor make a convincing case and, more important, good recommendations to keep affirmative action alive — without preferences."
Clarence Page, Chicago Tribune
"[Sander and Taylor] are intelligent critics who support the modest use of race in admissions but think very large preferences have harmful effects.... [T]his book is at its best when it skewers college and university officials — who feel morally superior for defending affirmative action — for in fact pursuing what Yale Law professor Stephen Carter has called 'racial justice on the cheap.'"
Richard Kahlenberg, The New Republic
"Racial discrimination is unlawful and has been rightly repudiated by the American people. The corrupt silence concerning such discrimination in college and university admissions suggests that at some level these people know they are doing something for which they should be ashamed. Unfortunately they are doing their intended beneficiaries no favors. That's proved beyond demur by Sander and Taylor's Mismatch."
Michael Barone, Creators Syndicate
"[Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It's Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won't Admit It is] a fine book, and the evidence gathered under the first part of the subtitle is convincing.... I was even more intrigued by the second part — about the reluctance of the universities and respectable opinion in general to recognize the defects of the policy. It's a subject that cannot be discussed, least of all in the precincts of American institutions dedicated to fearless free inquiry."
Clive Crook, Bloomberg View
"Sander and Taylor attack affirmative action programs in a bold and comprehensive way.... General readers will learn much from this work, though it is recommended more for graduate students in public policy as well as students and faculty at law schools."
"[W]hat Mr. Sander and Mr. Taylor have accomplished here is incredibly impressive. The authors have done an excellent job of pulling together the available research, and Mr. Sander in particular has been dogged in his pursuit of fresh numbers
].... Mr. Sander and Mr. Taylor, of course, have their share of critics, and Mismatch will not be the last word on this subject. But they have put the nation's universities in a put-up-or-shut-up situation: They can either admit that preferences do harm, or they can release the data that prove otherwise."
Washington Times
"Sander and Taylor have marshaled a formidable amount of evidence to substantiate the mismatch theory, and...the payoff is persuasiveness.... Mismatch is very much in the tradition of the muckraking that Lincoln Steffens did a century ago when he took on the corruption in American cities; indeed, the book could be titled 'The Shame of the Colleges.'"
Wall Street Journal
"[A] sober, reasoned, more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger critique of affirmative action.... One of the virtues of this book is that it is based on a rigorous, dispassionate examination of the facts. It is packed with easy-to-follow graphics and statistical analysis, as well as extensive case evidence based on interviews."
The American Spectator
"[A] powerful new book that explains the nefarious consequences of [undergraduate and graduate admissions programs] for the supposed beneficiaries of racial preferences. The dirty secret — not a dirty little secret, but a dirty huge secret — is how massive in size their racial preferences are."
Ed Whelan, National Review Online, Bench Memos
"The authors offer extensive data in support of their conclusions that the present system is not serving those students well.... This information will be argued over all the same, but the authors' evenhanded suggestion that what might be a better strategy is to raise educational attainment by investing more in elementary and secondary education for lower-income students — 'targeting economic need before racial identity,' as they put it — seems unobjectionable on the face. The subject may be hard to talk about, but it must be, and this is a valuable contribution to opening that needed discussion."
Kirkus Reviews
"Mismatch is a story of good intentions gone terribly awry. Sander and Taylor document beyond disagreement how university admissions offices' racial quotas and preferences systematically put black and Hispanic students in schools where they are far less well-prepared than others."
Michael Barone, Washington Examiner
"This lucid, data-rich book is simply the best researched and most convincing analysis ever done of affirmative action in higher education, a work at once impeccably scholarly and entirely accessible to anyone interested in the social and legal ramifications of well-intentioned policies that, as the authors show, have a boomerang effect on the intended beneficiaries."
Judge Richard A. Posner
"As a high-profile defender of affirmative action, I used to think the so-called 'mismatch' problem was a bit overblown. Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor have caused me to think again. How many bright and promising minority students, we must ask, have failed because they were steeredwith the best intentions, of course — into elite schools for which they were less prepared academically than most of their classmates? What better ways can we devise to boost academic achievement and expand the pool of qualified students of all races? We don't do future generations of students any favors by trying to ignore this issue or pretend it doesn't exist. If common-sense moderates don't step up and engage this debate, we only allow extremists to take control of it."
Clarence Page, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the Chicago Tribune

During the working week, most Londoners can enjoy their gardens only at the end of the day. There is little to enjoy, however, if the flowers have disappeared with the dusk, the only scent is next door's supper and the garden bench is giving you backache.

The end-of-day garden needs its own special features to make it an inviting space in which you can relax, recharge and engage all your senses.
Keep the landscaping soft and curvy, using natural materials as much as possible. Decking has had a bad press but for tired feet that have been pounding pavements, walking barefoot on sun-warmed wood is a delight. Copy the Japanese and create a path of small pebbles so that you can give your feet an invigorating workout.
'The end-of-day garden needs its own special features to make it an inviting space'
Make sure you don't stumble around — or break your neck — when walking down the garden steps, however, by installing LED lights at the side of each step.

Cocoon yourself within an arbour or gazebo; it doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive. Garden Affairs (www.gardenaffairs.co.uk; 01225 774566) sells a willow gazebo with woven roof for £349.99. Sarah Raven has covered her hazel gazebo with sweet peas but you could plant a permanent, climber such as honeysuckle. Add seats, cushions and strew lavender stalks on the ground within for the ultimate calm-down floor.
Use sound to soothe the fevered mind — and distract from discordant noise beyond the garden gate. Trickling water is surprisingly effective. Seek out a simple wall fountain or, on the ground, a stone globe of perpetually bubbling water. Wind chimes can be pretty if they emit harmonious melodies: seek out metal, not wood, tubular bells.
Comfortable places to sit are important. You wouldn't relax indoors on an upright wooden bench, so why would you outdoors? The metal bistro set is fine for morning coffee, but you need furniture that a weary body can sink into, such as weatherproof wicker tub chairs or sofa. Wooden loungers are only the last word in luxury if topped with a luxuriously thick mattress.
There is something primitive about sitting around a fire at dusk and it would increase the hours you could spend outdoors. As designer Clare Matthews has done in her garden, consider having a firepit built into your patio, or dig one out from the lawn; far more thrilling.
Use portable spotlights and uplighters to create pools of light precisely where you want them. Discover the romance of flickering candlelight — use empty jam jars or hurricane lamps to hold any old candles — and create an immediate and intimate atmosphere for a dining or seating area.

'Few things take the mind more from the tensions of the day than deadheading roses'
Dark shades might be fashionable for flowers, but it is pale, light colours that glow in faded light. Surround your seating area with potfuls of fragrant white regale or longiflorum lilies that you can buy right now in bud from garden centres.
White or evergreen jasmine produce masses of white, sweet-scented flowers, so drape some around an archway — or drainpipe. Buy a brugmansia and revel in the large, white trumpets with their lush fragrance, or go all-out and buy a night-flowering cactus that will have you running outside in your pyjamas to catch it in full moonlit bloom. The perfume is spectacular.
White, lemon, silver and blue make a magical border — or container — combination for the end-of-day garden. Pull together pale grey santolina, with lemon button flowers; Convolvulus cneorum, with silver foliage and white funnel flowers; blue and white lacecap hydrangeas, felty-leaved Stachys lantana, lemon verbascum, and back them up with white annuals orlaya, fragrant tobacco and cosmos.
Avoid planting flowers that close at day's end, such as cistus and helianthemum. Instead of osteospermum, whose daisy flowers shut down at sunset, choose splashy white marguerite argyranthemum. Plant easy-going roses, such as White Flower Carpet, that bloom through summer rather than those that peg out after one June burst.
© GAP Photos/John Gover
Beware the trap of making a no-maintenance garden because you want to relax, not toil, at the end of the day. Include a sweet pea wigwam, a rose bush, a few strawberry plants in a hanging basket.
Few things take the mind more from the tensions of the day than deadheading a few roses, cutting a fistful of fragrant sweet peas or even, as many Londoners are discovering, pulling potatoes from a bucket and snipping salad leaves for supper.

A guard stood on either side of him a few feet away from, a line of soldiers separating the crowd from the platform. A tall, copper haired woman dressed in a red commander's jacket walked onto the stage, stopping beside the accused. Her presence commanded attention and fear from all who glanced at her. She gave a smirk as not even a whisper went through the audience which meant that all eyes were on her.
That is until two people ran towards the front—the criminal's wife and child, she realized—pushing against the soldiers and crying out to their loved one. This of course prompted the man to start screaming for them. Of all the unsightly things for her to have to bear witness. Where was his honor as a human being, to die a prideful death and carry a brave face as he paid for his crimes?
"Quiet!" She snarled, and once again she was met with silence. Heather Maddigan pointed the tip of the ceremonial beheading long sword at the accused neck. Not that Petricia and Sūraja were focused on that, but rather the strange cloaked figure a mere few feet away from them. Upon viewing the large blade, this figure took off in a full sprint.
"Please tell me that person is not about to do what it is I am thinking they are."
The heavy blade was raised high into the air with two hands. The person moved swiftly, jumping as the guards braced themselves for an attack. Instead, the woman's head was met with the flat side of a boot, propelling the stranger forward.
"Oh, I think they are. Looks like today just got a lot more interestin'." Petricia flipped out her own weapons into her hand, itching to make a move.
The cloaked person was now on stage, taking out the two stage guards in a quick motion as Maddigan all but finished the sermon—"For committing crimes against the people of this great state, by the power invested into me by her graceful Majesty, I now pronounce you dead!"

Basic Concepts: Reproduction vs Replication – The secret behind every evolving system
Most of the people active in the IT industry can guess the difference. Replicator devices copy a data packet exactly as it is.

In order to transmit data wirelessly in a long range, you […]Read more

Till now, I have tried to approach the complexity concept from the various point of views. Once we talked about the concept of predictability and definition of randomness.

Basic Concepts: Inferiomorphism – when agents impose themselves to the superagent
Don't worry, if you have never heard the word inferiomorphism. Inferiomorphism is a combination of inferior (belonging to a lower level) and morphism (looking for a mapping between two objects from different categories). I have coined the term inferiomorphism by myself to emphasize on one of the greatest mistakes we've ever made. When I was talking about the practical definition […]Read more

Basic Concepts: An introduction to the concept of emergence
Among the various species living on earth, which is the most successful? It's tempting to consider humans as the most successful one. But the answer to this question is not as easy as it seems.

Basic Concepts: Predictability and the living things
Before starting our discussion about predictability, let me tell you a story. Suppose that you have a metal spring. You put it on the table and play with it by applying some tension or torsion, pressing it between your fingers and sometimes throwing it on the table. After you play too much with the spring something extraordinary happens. spring moves away […]Read more
Living things and cellular organization
In the previous article, we talked about living entities. The focal question of the article was clear: We know many characteristics of living things. Are all of them necessary condition for an object be considered as a living entity? (I use the verb consider intentionally. Just to emphasize on the subjectivity of this concept). Before going any further, let me remind you […]Read more
Another look at the living entities
Living entities are difficult to define. Seems that there is a kind of consensus on this. However, humans have always tried to do so. The sweet definition of Mayr may be a good starting point. He firmly states: It is now quite clear that there is no special substance, object, or force that can be identified with life. The process […]Read more

Binding vs board
There are a lot of questions regarding board / binding combo.
What aspects do you all look at when pairing your board to your bindings.
Looking to get an arbor westmark, and want to know if my current union asadachis will be a good match to the board.
I actually have one binding model that I try to use on all my boards. Makes switching between them all comfortable, the only difference in the setup is the board!
I prefer stiff, responsive boots and bindings, matched with medium stiff, to super stiff boards (depending on the use)... But that's just me! :dizzy:
85 Attachment(s)
I think a sticky thread for bindings is in order
Soft board, soft bindings, soft boots for me. :laugh:
Stiff bindings on a soft board might make it flex all weird; soft bindings on a stiff board will not give you enough feedback/control. I'm not a pro at this, but it looks like your combo would work just fine.
This is mostly preference, with the caveat that the extreme matches are just that, extreme, so you would probably want to have good reason to do so.
e.g you like to charge your stiff custom x but also like to do lots of tricks with it so you want the flexibility of a softer binding and/or boot for spinning and buttering - I have a friend with this riding style, he rides pretty stiff bindings but a softer boot
or you do massive airs on a soft board and want supportive boots/bindings for the landings - just a theory, no practical experience with this
other than that it's about what you like, some of the stiffer bindings aren't as comfortable and might be tiring for example

According this website, it is necessity. But if you do not have one you may believe that they are for people who have money to burn. If you do have one, it would take a lot for you to give one up. Who is this indispensable person to one who is the greatest luxury to another? It is the household maid.
To those who have not yet gotten a maid, it can seem like a pipe dream, or an unrealistic goal and an unnecessary additional expense. It could be true, but here are the reasons that everyone can benefit from having a household cleaning service. It also involves dispelling myths as well.
A cleaning service plays many roles. They might come through weekly to sweep, mop, dust, and scrub down bathrooms and kitchens. They might help with laundry, depending upon the agreement you have with them.
Some cleaning services provide a deep cleaning, such as for spring or fall cleaning, and for move out or move in cleaning situations. These involve extra scrubbing and the nitty gritty of windows, molding, ceiling fans, and anything else that is usually merely glossed over the rest of the year.
While thoroughness is emphasized by professional house cleaners, it can be expensive. Not that you do not have to have a maid come to your home weekly. You might keep a pretty neat home all month long, but want that extra assurance that maintains the overall cleanliness, and value of your home and its appearance.
For those who have a maid, if financial times get tight, it can be one cost they look at cutting. Rather than eliminating professional cleaning services altogether, they may change the scope and frequency of such cleanings instead.
Keeping Allergies At Bay
Another popular reason that many people hire someone in to clean for them is allergies. Many are allergic to dust or cleaning agents and cannot tolerate the impact of an allergy attack to clean house for themselves.
Arthritic Joints
Others suffer from range-of-motion issues and are better off if they have someone come into their home to clean for them. People who have neurological conditions, arthritis and disabilities may find that cleaning house is an area where they need help.
Luxury Or Necessity
If you are like many, you are still wondering why that stay-at-home mom does not pick up the vacuum herself. Same for Mr. Mom. Surely they can handle it and obviously, can afford the cost of it.
Yet, for other people the thought of putting their home in the care of someone else seems unnecessary and like a liability. Surely you have heard of people who hired an unscrupulous cleaning lady who stole money, jewelry, or even just nick knacks. Either way, putting private matters into the hands of a cleaning person may pose hazardous to your family.
Liability Or Asset?
While you do not want to be underfoot or appear paranoid, you may have other ways to put yourself at ease. Honestly, how many people have printouts of their financial information lying around these days? Turn off or log off computers and hold onto your cellphone when company, including the cleaning service, is coming by.
In addition, many cleaning services require that you perform a pre-cleanup. That means cleaning off counters and dressers to allow them to make a clean sweep go even faster. In theory, jewelry and other valuables probably would not be in the line of sight for practical reasons.
It would take much too long to clean if everything was still sitting out of place. Making their job easier, by piling laundry in the laundry room or ensuring that surfaces are cleared off will provide fewer distractions. Having fewer distractions means that the cleaning team or individual will have less fatigue and less likelihood of stopping to snoop.
Cleaning services are invaluable for people who have health issues, are strapped for time, or just do not wish to get to know their broom and every crevice of their home. For others, cleaning is therapeutic, and they do not like having strangers in their space. There are definitely two schools of thought on the issue, and neither side will ever win out over the other.

Hi Stan,
Stan, you have done enough taking these pictures for me. I certainly wouldn't expect you to clean Sarah Ann's grave up.
You have given your precious time in taking these pictures for me and I can't thank you enough.
I finish work in the morning for three days so I'll go and clean the grave up.
I knew about Walter being buried at Christ Church, Bradford, Manchestet. The majority of my Whitehead lived and worked in Bradford, Manchestet and sadly Walter was killed in a mining accident...Walter was thrown from a coal card that had broke away and became out of control.
Thanks Stan for all your help in taking the pictures for me.
Kind regards,

Done - I'm not a fan of having PCCs because it means more elected politicians but at least it gives us a route in to raise concerns.
CTC, the national cyclists' organisation, is urging people in England and Wales to take part in a new campaign to lobby their Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to make road safety a priority.
The organisation says that of the 42 PCCs elected last November, only one made a manifesto pledge to make road safety a priority, despite the latest full-year casualty statistics from the Department for Transport showing the first rise in eight years in the number of people killed on Britain's roads, up 3 per cent to 1,901 in 2011.
During the same year, there was a 12 per cent rise in the number of pedestrians killed, while the number of cyclists seriously injured was up 16 per cent.
As CTC points out, road casualty figures are particularly alarming when compared to those for violent crime – the number of people who lost their lives on the roads in 2011 is four times as many as were murdered that year, while 6,000 more casualties of road traffic incidents than victims of assault were admitted to hospital for treatment.
The PCCs elected in November are required to draw up a policing plan by the end of March and CTC says that more people that write to it to urge that road safety be made a priority, the more likely they are to realise the scale of public concern and to take action accordingly.
Filling in a form on the CTC website will take users to a standard letter to be sent to their local PCC – the latter's identity worked out automatically through the postcode concerned.
Residents of Scotland, Northern Ireland or Greater London should not fill out the form since those areas do not have PCCs.
Cambridgeshire's PCC has caused controversy among local cyclists following his election by focusing on a high-profile campaign against anti-social cycling such as riding on the pavement or through traffic lights.
However, as Cambridge Cycling Campaigns says, "Enforcement of the rules is important for all road users," pointing out that "the consequences of transgressions by motorists are likely to be far more serious than those by cyclists."
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

I think mainstream media have a responsibility here, when death and casualties are reported from Afghanistan there is immediate reference to numbers killed since our forces were committed there, (and rightly so)and outrage is mediated. A yearly figure of over one thousand killed on our roads, and rising, and the figures are mentioned as a matter of course, if even mentioned at all.

Previously: Afton betrays the Volturi Crest by telling the Romanians about Isabella. The Romanians decided to send Afton back to Italy with Fyodor (the Romanian brothers' right hand man) to tell them that he has betrayed both sides even though the Volturi will find out that there is more to Stefan than meets the eye...
Chapter 12: Such a Decision
Volterra had been abnormally quiet since the day that Afton had left for Romania. The ball was to be held in a week and a half. I was growing agitated. Aro was still refusing to speak to Sulpica, and every time that I considered speaking to her myself, Aro intervened somehow and would distract me.
To my great surprise, Caius and I had grown quite close, and his wife, Athenodora, had become a very dear friend of mine. It was often the three of us, joined by Demitri, seen speaking together and laughing. As was usual, Demitri and I were present in the throne room, socializing with Caius, when the human secretary rushed into the room.
"Kings, Fyodor is here with Afton."
I stood quickly, worry gripping my unmoving heart. Without thought, I spoke. "Send them in."
Once she had left again, I turned to look at Caius, and he motioned for me to take Aro's throne. I opened my mouth to suggest that we send Demitri to fetch Kings Aro and Marcus, but Caius just raised his hand and shook his head. "I want to hear this first." His voice was cold and sure. Caius was in full battle mode, and my warrior temperament responded automatically to his command.
The vampire that I recognized from the thoughts of others, the Romanian Fyodor, walked in first, and Afton followed obediently behind, looking intently at the ground. Fyodor inclined his head respectfully in our direction, his gaze intent on Caius. He did not even glance at me in curiosity. I could not help but think that he was a very good and loyal messenger. It both impressed and worried me further.
"Quid lingua loquis faciemus?" Fyodor asked in broken Latin. Still, I found myself respecting the man that was here to represent our enemy for speaking our official language while on our lands (even though we did not often speak it ourselves).
"Let us speak English. It would be easier on us all." Caius replied, motioning for Fyodor to go ahead and say what he came to say.
"Very well, sir. I am here to deliver this man back to you. I doubt very much that he is of any use to anyone in this conflict. This man has lost all honor that he might have possessed long ago." Fyodor said, standing in a militant fashion as he spoke dispassionately. "Do with him what you will. I would suggest you have Aro of Velathri read his thoughts before disposing of him, but I would understand quite well if you did not take the advice of a vampire of the Romanian order."
The room was silent. I felt my thoughts moving quite fast, and my head was spinning. Had I heard that correctly? They believed that Afton had betrayed us all, and not only the Romanians. Surely, that was not what was happening. More importantly, Chelsea was nowhere to be seen.
Caius finally moved to lean forward, resting his elbows on his knees and crossing his fingers together in the space below his chin. He said nothing. He only watched Fyodor for a moment before turning his head toward me.
"What say you?" Caius asked softly, watching me carefully. I watched him back for a long moment, wondering exactly what he was asking of me. His expression was quite open, and it seemed as if he were looking to me as an equal, so I took a chance and replied as one. Instead of suggesting getting Aro, as I would have done had he not looked at me in such a way, I advocated for something a bit more unconventional.
"I can find out the truth of the matter." I suggested, not taking my eyes from his. Caius regarded me for only a short moment before nodding to me and waving me forward. I stood from Aro's throne and walked confidently down to where Fyodor and Afton were standing. Once I was standing in front of Afton I reached out, tilting his head up so that he was looking into my eyes, and spoke. "These are very serious accusations. Has your mind lied to me, Afton? Have you betrayed us all?"
"I dare not lie to you, Leading General." Afton tried to say, his voice breaking violently on my title. His next words were so quiet that I could hardly hear them even with my advanced senses. "I told them of you..."
"Such is certainly in the name of treason, Afton." I replied dryly, causing him to flinch. Concentrating, I brought forward Aro's, Jane's, and some of Peter's gifts that I had still stored in my shield, and I unleashed them upon him. He screamed, his legs giving out, but I continued to hold him up by his jaw as his pain cleared his thoughts of lies. I read them all, in their complete form, and random facts and feelings related to his betrayal flowed into my head. If it were not for the torment that I had endured in the South and in training from Jasper, I would not have been able to keep my face impassive.
First came his thoughts and memories.
"I would kill your love." I cannot let it happen. Chelsea must be safe.
"Her name is Isabella…" I am now truly dead.
"Did you really think you could serve two opposing masters?" No, only the Volturi and my mate. Still was not possible. I have killed us both.
"Only because you will lose!" Never realized how shaky my loyalty was to the Crest.
Next came the truths from Peter's gift.
Stefan's gift is not a gift. It is a curse. It lives within him.
They come in a week, just days before the ball.
The future has changed. King Aro begins to fall from what little grace he still owns within him.
I was shocked back into myself too quickly, and I staggered back, dropping Afton to the ground where he shook and spit up venom. My eyes shot up to make eye contact with Fyodor. He was watching me with cautious eyes.
"You are Isabella. You are King Aro's third." He said to me, not bothering to try and hide his awe and hesitation toward me.
"I am. Thanks to the rat, you and your master's know a good amount about me." I replied, careful not to give too much away.
"Do you know how much we know?" He asked, obviously genuinely curious on top of trying to get information for his masters. I could not hide the grin that stretched my lips.
"I know many things." I said no more, and his mouth twitched as well, but the beginnings of the smile died on his face when the double doors burst open. I knew who it was right away.
"What is going on here? Isabella, you should leave." Aro said, looking slightly shaken to see me standing right before Fyodor, obviously conversing with him.
"Afton revealed me to them. They already know." I replied, holding out my hand in offering so that he could read me. Perhaps that was when I made my first mistake. I hid the fact that I had used Peter's gift as well, and I kept the bits of knowledge from him using my shield. Not only that, but I absorbed a bit more of his gift than I probably should have. I should have seen that this was the beginning of something far more dangerous. I was losing faith in King Aro of Velathri, master of the Volturi Crest. "What are you going to do?"
Aro stared at Afton with a great and angry sadness for but a moment before composing himself, bending down, lifting Afton to his feet, and turning to Caius. "Mortum."
"Mortum." Caius replied, agreeing on a death sentence. With that, Aro waved me forward and turned to walk to his throne.
I did not let my hesitation show in my movements or my expression. I waited until Fyodor had stepped back slightly before turning my attention to Afton. I said nothing. I could not think of anything to say to him. I simply nodded in order toward the floor, and he obediently knelt.
I could not stop the sigh that escaped me before I lifted my hands and decapitated him as quickly as possible. It sickened me how natural it felt, how easy it was for me to do. My insides seemed to twist in rebellion against the execution, the lack of a fair fight. I did not burn him. I left that to the kings. I nodded to Fyodor to dismiss myself and turned to walk passed the kings and through the door behind the thrones to my rooms.
As I passed him, Aro reached out as if to grab my arm. "Isabella, surely you will stay-"
"Shall I stay for the fire that shall symbolize the beginnings of the next war?" I finished dryly for him, my mind going into a cold and dark shutdown. I did not look at him as I avoided his touch. "I am no executioner, Aro. You may do it yourself, and you do not need me here for it." Without another word, I left the room, letting the door close heavily in my wake.
Without really thinking about it, I pulled out my blackberry and dialed the Major's number. It did not even complete a full ring.
"Isabella." He answered, seeming concerned.
"Please, just talk." I replied, letting him hear the struggle in my voice. I arrived to my rooms then and shut myself inside.
"The three of us are headed there for the ball already. We will probably get there within the next few days. Peter insisted that it would be easier to move without suspicion if we were to be done with our journey before the others with invites even leave for Italy." I simply stood by the window and listened to Jasper speak. It was something concrete to concentrate on, and before I knew it, the darkness returned to the back of my mind. I was calm once more, but I had a feeling it would not last for long.
I am not sure how he knew, but Jasper seemed to sense my change in emotion. "Can I ask what triggered it?"
He was the only one that I felt like I could really talk to about it, so I did. "I met Fyodor today. The Romanians know of me now. War is coming."
"Who was it?" He asked quietly. I sucked in a sharp breath. I knew what he was asking. I answered on my exhale.
"Afton." There was a long silence after my confession. It was the calm before the storm, and I knew that he was working to ask me a shattering kind of question. Still, I was not prepared for his words when he spoke them.
"Are you going to have to choose?"
"Between the Whitlocks and the Crest?" I tried to clarify. I was in shock.
"No. Are you going to have to pick between yourself and your mate?" He whispered, softening the blow of the inquisition with his kind tone. I actually shuddered at the possibility. Even more quietly, I replied.
"I don't know, Major. I don't know anymore."
It was four days later when Aro finally approached me. I was sitting in the training room, watching Demitri spar with Jane and Alec. I was not really instructing, simply observing. During a particularly close part of the match, Aro entered, throwing off Jane's concentration. Demitri took the chance and had them both beaten in but three seconds.
"Come on, Jane. You are better than that." I heard Demitri scold as she stood and they prepared for another round. Aro walked across the room, ignoring them entirely, and sat cross-legged next to me. I did not acknowledge him. I kept my eyes trained on the spar starting in front of me.
"I came to give you an update." Aro said, obviously trying to start a conversation.
"Very well." I replied, waiting for the news he had to bring me.
"Fyodor said that the Romanians are keeping Chelsea with the mates of those in their forces. Her safety has been guaranteed by them."
I could not help the snort that escaped me at that. I also could not stop my mouth from spouting my thoughts on the matter. "She will burn with the rest of us."
"You think that the Volturi will lose?" Aro asked, actually sounding surprised.
"Don't you see, Aro?" I insisted, turning at last to meet his eyes. He looked as if he took umbrage at my words. "We have already lost."
The reality of my own words hit me as I said them. There was no winning this war because there would be no ending. As long as vampires lived, there would be loyalties to the Crest and to the Romanians. This conflict was as immortal as the people that fought it. My words only seemed to cause his frustration at me to grow into something akin to anger.
"I have been waiting countless centuries for this moment." Aro said between gritted teeth.
"The throne not enough for you, then?" I replied, shocked at my own audacity.
"You know that isn't what this is about, Isabella."
"I know nothing of the sort!" I shouted, rising to my feet to tower over him. He automatically stood as well, going on the offensive. His aggressive stance did not stop me. "I have seen it for myself inside of your mind, Aro! Not even you know what this is about… not really. You do this because you do not know what else to do. Your whole life you have manipulated, stolen, bargained, and killed. You have lived for multiple millennia, and still you stay stuck in your ways! Has it never occurred to you that the Romanians may only fight your authority because they are as clueless as to what to do with eternity as you are?"
"Isabella!" Aro yelled, shocked to the core by my blatant disrespect. Jane, Alec, and Demitri were silently watching our standoff with worried expressions. Aro's expression was threatening when he spoke again, and I knew then that I was now seeing the darkness within him. "You would do well to remember who I am."
"Pedicabo ego vos!" I cursed at him in retaliation before stomping away. I heard Aro follow nearly silently, and so I would have had adequate warning even if it weren't for the frightened faces of Jane, Alec, and Demitri. Aro grabbed my arm roughly to spin me around, but I used the contact to attack him with the gifts that I had stored up. I did not even try to separate them before unleashing them upon his mind. As I hit him with the onslaught, I absorbed just enough of his gift to leave him helpless but not damage him.
Once he had fallen to the ground, barely conscious, I ignored the mating pull telling me to comfort and heal him and looked down my nose at him.
"I think that it would do you well to remember who I am." I said before abandoning him where he lay curled in on himself on the ground. I left the room without looking back.
"Isabella." Caius called, entering my rooms where I stood staring out the window.
"Yes?" I answered, keeping my voice steady and strong.
"What are you leaving out? What are you not telling Aro?" Caius asked. Then, just as I was about to reply, he added on another question. "Better yet, why are you keeping secrets from a King at all?"
"He is compromised." I replied, surprised that I was actually going to go through with my plan. It was risky. I could be discovered, but I knew that I would at least have the Whitlock's at my back when I walked into the lion's den. At Caius's silence, I turned to face him and looked him dead in the eye. "It is time for the Volturi to go in a different direction."
"What are you saying, Isabella? Do you realize how long Aro and I have fought alongside one another? You know of how we met in the land of Pharaoh before the change. You know that I have sworn myself to him just as he did to me all those ages ago." Caius said, watching me with a disbelieving gaze. "Do not ask something of me that I cannot give."
"I am not asking for you to forsake your loyalty to Aro. I ask the opposite. I need you to prove how strong your loyalty to him is." I took a deep breath and decided to just spit it out. "I need you to make me a queen, and then, I need you to let me betray you."
After a beat, I saw the light go off in his mind. "You wish to take Afton's place as a double agent. How do you expect me to convince Aro to go along with this?"
"That is just it. You do not need to tell Aro anything. You have to act as if you believe I am truly a traitor. You have to shun me, hunt me, hate me, and forsake my name. Then, you will have to call me friend and act traitor yourself." I said, watching as he got a dark look in his eyes. He was completely still. I held out my hand as if to shake his. "What say you?"
Caius did not react for a moment, but then I saw a look come into his eyes that I had only ever seen in Aro's memories. It was determined, accepting, and desperate. He stepped forward and took my hand.
"Aro took the initiative for me in the beginning, saving me from execution when Egypt was conquered, and then he came back for me and gave me this immortal life. I shall return the favor."
"I am with you, Isabella." Caius said aloud, taking back his hand. I nodded in return.
"I leave for Romania before dawn." I left the room without another word. This was my last chance. If I could not infiltrate the Romanian forces and stop this war before it started, then I would be forced to choose between my mate and myself. I was not sure I could make such a decision.
A/N: Hey! I was able to update two months before I thought I could. That is exciting! I hope that you guys enjoyed the chapter. Please tell me what you think. I will still be updating after Christmas. Those months at the beginning of 2014 will be a lot less crazy since I will be taking less credits. I hope to finish this story instead of taking a full course load. =D On that note, this story should be done in just over six months! Crazy! Thank you all so much for sticking with me through my random updating. I hope you continue to do so. You guys mean the world to me!

from Liberty Blitzkrieg:
The think tanks do not disclose the terms of the agreements they have reached with foreign governments. And they have not registered with the United States government as representatives of the donor countries, an omission that appears, in some cases, to be a violation of federal law, according to several legal specialists who examined the agreements at the request of The Times.
As a result, policy makers who rely on think tanks are often unaware of the role of foreign governments in funding the research.
Several legal experts who reviewed the documents, however, said the tightening relationships between United States think tanks and their overseas sponsors could violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, the 1938 federal law that sought to combat a Nazi propaganda campaign in the United States. The law requires groups that are paid by foreign governments with the intention of influencing public policy to register as "foreign agents" with the Justice Department.
At least one of the research groups conceded that it may in fact be violating the federal law.
– From the New York Times article: Foreign Powers Buy Influence at Think Tanks
Liberty Blitzkrieg readers will be under no illusions when it comes to the role "Think Tanks" play within America's crony, unethical, slimy and entirely compromised political system. Nevertheless, today's New York Times article exposing how foreign government, likely illegally, use them to buy influence in Washington D.C., is extremely important and disturbing. Let's examine a few excerpts.

1. Late Dhirubhai Ambani spotted Nita during a cultural performance at Birla Matoshree and he called her the next day, but what followed was rather embarrassing for Nita. "The caller said, "I'm Dhirubhai Ambani." I said, "Wrong number!" and put down the phone! But the phone rang again and the voice said, "I'm Dhirubhai Ambani, may I talk to Nita?" So I said, "If you are Dhirubhai Ambani, I'm Elizabeth Taylor!and put down the phone," said Nita in an interview given to designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. "My father was at home that day and sensed there was something happening. So when the phone rang again, he answered. He went a little pale and I recall him saying, "Nita pick up the phone and talk and talk nicely and politely because it is Dhirubhai Ambani!! So I picked up the phone and said, "Jai Shree Krishna!" as that's how we
2. In the same interview, Nita recalled how Mukesh proposed to her. "This was our sixth or seventh meeting... I was still very undecided... I had said, 'I need to graduate and let's think about it later'... and we were driving on Peddar Road [Mumbai] in his green Fiat and there's a signal at Peddar Road and he stops the car there and this is at 7.30, peak time traffic, and I said, 'What's happening' and he says, 'Will you marry me?' I said, 'Mukesh! I really don't know...' He says again, 'Will you marry me?' And there was this huge traffic at the back... so he says, 'Tell me, otherwise I am not going to start the car...' I said, 'Yes, I will... I will."
3. As per Nita, when Mukesh was courting her, he would pick her up in his Merc and them, one day, Nita asked him to see her mode of travel. The couple took a BEST bus that day.
4.. According to Mukesh, what he liked about Nita most was her innocence. "I distinctly remember that innocence, I was struck by her unpretentious warmth and poise. She came across as very conservative, traditional yet contemporary in her thinking. She connected instantly with entire family and it was amazing to see how all of them were at ease with each other. We shared lot in common, which is largely because of our similar family upbringing and backgrounds," the businessman was quoted as saying by a leading magazine. And as far as Nita Ambani is concerned, she found Mukesh very warm. "I was touched by his warmth, genuineness, simplicity and humility which he still carries from that time. At our first meeting, more than anything else I felt very comfortable, as I know him better, I realised that behind the simplicity, there is a very quiet determination, an iron will and of course, a sharp mind.," Nita said in an interview.
5. The loving couple ensures they spend time together on a daily basis, no matter how busy they are. "As long as we are in Mumbai, we find the time. However late it is, we do not eat dinner without each other. If I'm late, he'll wait and if he's late, I'll wait. So dinner time is always special. "We have built a temple at home is our favorite place and it is the soul of our house, this where both Mukesh and I together do our aarti every Sunday," said Nita in an interview to a leading magazine.

Street Light Installation
How to request a new street light:
1. Contact PBOT Street Lighting and provide the location where a new street light is requested (nearest address or cross street): firstname.lastname@example.com or at 503-865-LAMP (5267).
2. PBOT Street Lighting will perform an engineering assessment to determine if the City of Portland street light guidelines are being met and whether an installation is feasible.
- If an installation is feasible, PBOT Street Lighting will issue a petition to the requestor which will need to be signed by 50% or more of property owners adjacent to the proposed street light. The petition will serve as a record indicating that the signees acknowledge that there will be a change in street light levels due to the installation of a new street light.
3. If the City of Portland street light guidelines are not being met and an installation is feasible, in most cases, PBOT Street Lighting will fund and complete the installation and pay the ongoing energy and maintenance costs.
If the engineering assessment concludes that a new street light is not needed or is not feasible to install, but you would still like to have additional lighting installed:
1. You may request and purchase your own outdoor area lighting
- If your power provider is PGE, you may request a PGE outdoor area light. See more information on this here: https://www.portlandgeneral.com/safety/outdoor-area-lighting.
- You may also look into purchasing and installing other building or home lighting options such as landscape lighting, flood lights, spotlights, etc.
If you believe that there is a crime problem in your neighborhood:
1. Contact the Crime Prevention Coordinator for your neighborhood and provide the location as well as information on the crimes taking place. Find the Crime Prevention Coordinator for your neighborhood here: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/oni/44649, or call 503-823-4000.
Please note that due to limited funding for new street lights, every new street light installation request is assessed on a case-by-case basis and installations of multiple street lights may not be feasible. If an entire neighborhood is in need of street lighting and the street lighting infill budget cannot cover these costs, the residents of the neighborhood may form a Local Improvement District. See more information on this here: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/index.cfm?&c=35715.
If you have any questions on this process, or street lighting in general, please feel free to contact PBOT Street Lighting at email@example.com or at 503-865-LAMP (5267).

We know that internal energy of an ideal gas is a state function and it solely depends on the temperature of the gas. The temperature of the gas can be changed by many ways. We can change it by compressing the gas or by supplying the heat from outside or by injecting more molecules into a given volume of the gas. We know that Carnot principle is based on the temperature difference of thermal reservoirs and their thermal capacities. Due to different ways of production of heat the temperature difference between two thermal reservoirs can be created in different ways. There are many ways for creating such temperature gradients. One way is to pump the heat from one reservoir to another reservoir by the means of an ideal heat pump. Second way is to heat up one reservoir by burning some sort of fuel. Third way is to heat up one reservoir by stirring its fluid or by passing electric current through it whatever the medium may be. In the fourth way we can compress one reservoir made up of gas and can expand the second reservoir of the gas simultaneously as happens in sound waves. From all of these four methods of creating temperature differences, first and fourth methods are striking and this lead to a very interesting result. This result is that Carnot principle and second law of thermodynamics are not consistent.

Keeping O2 away from your brew during fermentation is extremely important. Pair this carboy bung with an airlock to create an airtight seal in the mouth of your carboy. While rubber stoppers work well with fermenters, they can become slippery when used with Star San in carboys. If using a carboy, this carboy bung may be the better option!

How do you spell POLAMALU?
Two years ago when the Steelers were in the Super Bowl, we asked athletes and celebs to spell Roethlisberger and they failed. We didn't think it would be possible, but this year they failed even more miserably trying to spell the name of the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year: Troy Polamalu.
The failures are too many to count but include athletes like T.O., Willie McGinnist, Justin Forsett, Stevie Johnson, Willis McGahee, Lorenzo Neal, and multiple Steelers players. Even worse were the celebs at last night's GQ Party sponsored by Lacoste and Cadillac. Watch Randy Jackson, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Joe Jonas, Guy Fieri, and Kevin Frazier all fall down.

If you are an employee who has been injured or disabled on the job, you may require the services of a workers' compensation lawyer. Usually administered at the state level, workers' compensation can include weekly wage payments, money for financial losses due to the injury, and paid medical expenses. If an employee is killed on the job, then his family can receive the workers' compensation. Workers' compensation lawyers interpret workers' compensation laws and can help if you have a job-related injury.

Watch out, London!
The reality star, husband Kanye West, and adorable daughter North have landed in the capital ahead of Kim's busy promo tour.
It feels like we only just caught a glimpse of the reality star turning heads in that plunging pink crop top back in sunny Los Angeles, but, as if by magic, the famous family are now courting attention on UK soil.
Reality babe Kim, who had ditched her usual fancy clobber for a more laid back look, was carrying cutie North who was fast asleep on her mum's shoulder as they made their way to their posh central London hotel.
While rapper Kanye, dressed in green chinos and a grey jumper, was looking his usual cheery self as he followed them close behind.
But North's outfit was the real winner. The sleepy one-year-old was decked out in a pair of black Doc Marten's, monochrome jeans and a black tee.
The reality star is due to make a series of promo appearances, including one for the Kardashian Lipsy line and an appearance on Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 breakfast show.
Just yesterday the professional flesh flasher was looking far from casual when she left little to the imagination as she stepped out in an eye-popping outfit.
Kanye's missus slipped her famous curves into a plunging long-sleeved pink crop top, which showed off some serious cleavage, while on her bottom half she wore a clinging grey pencil skirt.
For more pictures of the famous family, check out the gallery below.
