We Built Our Own WorldMature
Dream Journal
22nd March
He comes into my dreams every night. I've become much better at remembering my dreams since the last time I wrote something about it. Burning that piece of paper didn't help, but what bothered me doesn't anymore. The dreams have stopped scattering away into wisps as dandelion seeds in the wind ever since I wake up. Even if I may not remember how they start, I always remember the dreams ever since he comes into the picture. I notice him right away.
He's a part of my imagination, but in the dreams he feels so very real. He has his own personality, and he has the handsome, mysterious thing going on with him. I do remember him being handsome, but I can never find the words for it. As much as I focus to engrave his features in my memory, spending what seems like hours staring at him in the dream, that is one thing that never stays concrete.
Yesterday night, I dreamed of being a princess in a tall tower. I had been reading to children at the hospital so that's where it might have come from. But I didn't have any ridiculously and convenient long hair to let down for my prince to climb up. I had been panicking at this point. And there he'd appeared, in the middle of the stone bricked room standing leaning against the four poster bed as if he'd always been there.
He smiled. He had the most beautiful smile. Not that I could ever tell him that, I don't believe a guy would like to be called that. That praise seems to be reserved for the fair sex.
"You do know this is a dream, and you're not really trapped?"
"Yes, well, I know now."
"You're welcome," he said, striding towards the window which he climbed. He stood on the windowsill and beckoned me.
"What are you doing, you'll..." The protest faded from my lips as I realized the silliness of my fear.
"You can die in a dream," he said. "But you can't die when you're walking on air"
He walked forward, and he didn't fall. He floated.
"How did you do that?" I rushed over to the window and leaned out, looking down. There was still quite a distance between us and the ground. Just looking down made me dizzy.
"Anything's possible in a dream," he held his hand out to me. His eyes told of the unspoken challenge.
Sure, I'd do that. Sure, I'd walk out into the air.
"Believe," he said.
I climbed up, feeling the cold on my cheeks. There wasn't much for balance, just the sides of the window that I held onto tightly. I closed my eyes, and tried to imagine what walking on air would feel like. Exactly like walking on a surface, just this one's made of glass.
I held his hand. I took a deep breath, the cold air inside me. I stepped forward, and I didn't fall. I couldn't even tell that there was just air beneath me.
"You can do anything, if you just believe."
Michael, because that seemed to be his name, he'd never told me, but once in the dream I'd just known his name was Michael, had suggested me to write down the dreams. He said this will improve my dream recall. I think it's a good idea too.
I'll be eagerly waiting for night, when I can sleep and talk to Michael. Maybe I'll fly to the moon in my dream tonight.

Got your period? Be careful who you're lusting after…
Have you ever found yourself drooling over a manly man such as action men Jason Statham or Chris Hemsworth when your normal type is more Chris Martin? If so, your hormones might be to blame.
Studies have shown that women at the peak of their fertility prefer macho men, oozing with testosterone.
A research project, conducted in 2013, tested women's sexual scent preferences. Female volunteers sniffed T-shirts that had been worn by men rating them for pleasantness, sexiness and intensity. The researchers also took saliva samples from the men to measure hormone levels of testosterone and cortisol.
The results showed that women who were ovulating – which happens 10-16 days after a period starts – were drawn to the men with higher testosterone.
However, a more recent study says our hormones play no part in who we're attracted to. Researchers at the University of Southern California revealed that woman want to date masculine men regardless of their cycle! The same study also discovered – not surprisingly – that wherever they were on their menstrual cycles, women also preferred kind men.
Thankfully then it seems we are in control of who we fancy, however, it does mean when you date that bad boy, who eventually lets you down, you can't blame it on your hormones.

Reviews For Bison Bacon Chia Bites
Based on 26 Reviews
Great snack.
I bought these to give me a tasty reliable snack when I travel. YOu know how hard it is to find a good healthy snack when traveling. These hit the spot perfectly.
- Jake
This is the second time that I have ordered the Bison Bacon Chia Bites. They are tender and tasty. I will be ordering them again.
- Deena
Mmm, mmm!
All of the Epic products similar to this are outstanding. Heads and tails above the over-processed stuff one usually finds in grocery stores.
- Bruce
Great taste but crumbles
The flavor is superb but 1/4 of the bag was dust.
- Jerky Joe
These were a hit with me and my best friend! They are soft enough that she can chew them despite her tooth issues. They have a wonderful meaty flavor and are a great savory snack. They're not too salty or greasy the way a lot of meaty snacks are. The only problem? I had to restrain myself so I wouldn't eat the whole bag all at once. :-D
- Jolie
Buffalo jerky
These are awesome!
- Kari
give me more!
oh, yum! this stuff is seriously good! love it's almost-crumbly texture and has excellent flavor. it's a bit smoky, a bit sweet and completely delicious.
- Katherine
I wasn't thrilled with these. They seemed very sweet. The kids liked them though!
- Eugenia
Favorite Sweet & Savory Snack
I absolutely love this!! I have them at work, on road trips, in my pack for hiking/backpacking!! So delicious!!!
- Kayla
Not a fan
I received this in the Jerky Sample package. I found it quite tasteless. Sure, it's tender and easy to chew. But it had almost no flavor. I won't be re-ordering this one.
- Ruth
Just jerky
I don't remember seeing or tasting any raisins or chia seeds. This was just a nice jerky, pretty soft, and on the sweeter side, but just barely. Would order again.
- Emily
great service
Very tasty
- Janie
Great flavor. Wish I came in a bigger package.
- Stacy
Jerky Bites
We love these! Great flavor.
- Denise
Bison bacon Chia bites
The texture of these were not like regular jerky. We threw away the whole pack, no one would eat it.
- Laura
Sweet and savory
I am a total sweet and savory kind of person when it comes to snacks and this satisfies all that and more plus I love the jerky is a little on the soft side :) I hate when you have to chew a piece of meat for hours
- Desiree
My favorit by far!
There are a perfect snack and taste great.
- David
Favorite of all Epic products
I've tried almost all the flavors Epic makes (bats, bites, trail mix), and this is my favorite!
- Mary
Decent snack.
I love Epic products, but these are just okay. I'm not a huge fan of the texture, and these look a little funky. They're savory with just a hint of sweetness from the raisins. The bars are just way better in my opinion.
- Angie
Great snack, but a little oily.
I like the flavor of these although they are a bit oily and they're softer than a normal jerky so don't expect a really firm texture. I like that they don't have a lot of ingredients or spices because I have reflux and can't handle a lot of the ingredients in other jerkys.
- Janina
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these, maybe a little too much. I could just eat a whole bag at once!
- Stacy
Not really jerky
It's soft and pre-formed...not what I was expecting.
- Di-
Good Taste - Weird Texture
They taste super great, but i found it hard to get past the dogfood-ish texture.
- Maeve
great bacon taste
Love, love, love these bacony bites. Reordered 10 minutes after receiving them.
- Terri
Not at all home on the Range
Taste is a subjective thing, so focusing on the objective issues I had with this product: 1) Texture is that of rotting fat - greasy with a sickening sponginess. 2) Taste - Nothing of what is depicted. No distinct notes come out. There is just a homogeneous "processed fat" kind of taste. No spice, no smokiness, maybe a little gaminess from the bison, but nothing else. 3) These bites are super salty tasting.
Bottom line, this was a good concept with exceptionally poor execution.
- James
Interesting in a good way
These were better than expected. Nice mix of sweet and savory. They are chewvy in textur not really hard like jerky as I was expecting
- Stephanie

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Due to the new health care laws, rates have increased. The company's group plan rate increased by $9000.The manager took that group plan increase and only charged those that are paying out of pocket for the family plan, but did not charge those that are single coverage. The company pays for the employees share of health coverage. If you opt to have family coverage it was $125/mo regardless of how many people you include on the plan.
Well they told us on Jan 10th that the new rate would take effect in our Jan 15th check and will increase to $175 for those with the family plan. Those with employee only will still be covered by the company at no additional cost to them.
Is this even legal to only charge certain employees for the increase instead of charge everyone a portion of the increase?Those of us that have the family plan and are paying out of pocket expenses, and especially those that are the sole provider for their homes, are very upset by this. It just doesn't seem fair that they would only charge people with a family plan an additional $50/month (which in a single parent household, that can make or break your budget). Shouldn't they have charged everyone in the company, including the "employee only" classified people? Even if they had to pay $10-20 for their health coverage it would be better than taking a full $175 from people supporting their families. Is it lawful for them to inform us a few days before they deduct it from our checks? Is it lawful to only charge certain people for the rate increase, even though that increase was for the ENTIRE COMPANY group plan? Is that some sort of singling out or discrimination since most of the higher ups are in that single coverage category?

Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey or Federal law applies, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, the employer can change your wages, including benefits, without notice going forward (unless you have a contract). It does not appear that the employer is treating you differently, however. It appears that the employer is charging everyone for their own coverage, and charging those who want extra coverage an extra amount. This does not appear unfair to me; those employees who do not want family coverage should not be charged extra for your family's coverage.

You also have to understand that under the new laws, employers are actually required to pay a bit more for family coverage, starting this year and increasing every year.
By way of explanation, I found this article that may help to clarify this: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-your-boss-is-dumping-your-wife-2013-02-22
Thus, not only are they permitted to increase the rates, they are being required to increase them disproportionately.

And the worst law schools are...
The Daily Caller, a Beltway-based online news organization, has ranked the nation's 10 worst law schools, based on aggregated American Bar Association statistics.
The good news is that no local schools have been given the embarrassing designation. In fact, no schools in the entirety of New York appear. It's concentrated in five states, California (four schools), Florida (three schools) and single entries from Georgia, Arizona and Michigan. Catch the full list here.
A list of the top law schools can be found here. The University at Buffalo moved up two spots this year, from 84 to 82. Syracuse University improved from 100 to 96. Cornell University dropped slightly from 13 to 14.

I'm not exactly sure what this poem is, it started off as something serious about love, but i started to make it more cheerful towards the end :)
I wrap myself round your soft flesh,
A compassionate double helix.
Born out of oxytocin or depression.
my love is there. As long as you feel it.
Flow through my fingers.
Like the least viscous of all silk.
I crave your soft touch,
Like a baby craves mother's milk.
Fit between my finger's gaps.
They were designed just for you
The simplest of all jigsaw puzzles…
But requires participation by two.
Your topaz eyes with an opal core
You look at me with love?
Sometimes…sometimes I don't –
Sometimes…I don't feel love.
Then. You take my hand. Kiss my cheek.
And bliss my mind like the heavens above.
Life…life throws things at us
Dilemmas…bricks, chairs, and of course, lemons.
But never the less, we do our best
And turn our hell, into heaven.
Life…seems to always run
Like water, like blood, like egg yoke
Just make a joke, or play a note,
Or sit back in your fishing boat.
…and smile.

Thanks, Kitty, that was great stuff--and it jogged me into doing
several "advanced" searches [slow day at work today]. I've four big
cuttings of the Whortleberry and, since they grow to small tree size,
I'm considering building a raised bed for them. Thus, medium is a big
question, and one of the things I found was not only directions for
building a raised bed for cactus, but also a recipe for the medium.
What made my day, however, was the discovery that Julia Morton had a
chapter in her warm climate fruit book on Hylocereus undatus, Dragon
fruit, and that Purdue had posted the chapter.
For those interested in indigenous new world food crops, Purdue
University's "NewCrops" page is a must. I think it also have links to
the National Academy of Sciences classic study, Food Sources of the

The Harper government is distancing itself from a former Conservative staffer who was at the heart of the party's recent efforts to win a first seat on Montreal Island, and who was arrested on corruption charges as part of the latest police sweep in Quebec.
Under opposition grilling in the House, Heritage Minister James Moore said his former minister staffer, Saulie Zajdel, was arrested in relation to "municipal matters, and not federal ones."
"If in his municipal career ... he in any way broke the law, he should have the book thrown at him," Mr. Moore said.
A former city councillor in Montreal, Mr. Zajdel was the Conservative candidate in the 2011 election in the Montreal riding of Mount Royal, finishing 2,300 votes behind the incumbent, Liberal MP Irwin Cotler. Five months later, Mr. Zajdel was hired to work for Mr. Moore's office in Montreal to act "a liaison between the Government and the city's cultural communities."
The contract lasted from October, 2011 to March, 2012, a period in which Mr. Zajdel was seen to be acting as a "shadow MP" in the riding that has long been targeted by the Conservative Party, given its strong Jewish community. Mr. Cotler complained at the time that the Conservatives were spreading rumours that he was about to resign and force a by-election in the riding, and that Mr. Zajdel was using his taxpayer-funded position to prepare a second campaign in the riding. However, Mr. Zajdel left Mr. Moore's office when his position inside the government became the subject of much media scrutiny.
Mr. Zajdel, a former city councillor in Montreal, was charged on Monday with five counts of breach of trust, fraud and corruption. According to Quebec's anti-corruption unit, the charges against Mr. Zajdel are linked to allegations of bribery in relation to real estate deals in 2007 and 2008.
The opposition parties have been trying for months to highlight the links between the Conservative Party and members of Montreal's embattled political class. During Monday's Question Period, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair said that "the entire Conservative network has been tarnished by the arrest of one of their star candidates."
In a statement on Monday, Mr. Cotler refused to weigh in Mr. Zajdel's case, stating "everyone benefits from the presumption of innocence and thus I have no comment while the police investigation and related process in this matter are ongoing."Report Typo/Error

This scenic overlook on the ridge east of Vantage captures a panoramic view of the sculpture and the Columbia River Gorge.

We stopped at the gelato place and got small cups: Oro d'Oro which was buttery pound cake flavor and Derek got Blackberry.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-3366) Shuffle/Merge improvements
|Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:45:45 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3366?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12603080#action_12603080 ] Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-3366: --------------------------------------- bq. 0) The inMem merge thread needs to ignore the criteria when the shuffle thread notifies it to do a forced merge. The shuffle thread cannot _force_ a merge, the merge is still triggered only when the various criteria are satisfied - the notification only wakes up the possibly waiting merge-thread. bq. 1) A race condition exists in the interval between the ramManager.notify and mergePassComplete.wait() calls in getMapOutput. What could happen is that the ramManager gets notified and it finishes the merge before this thread calls mergePassComplete.wait(). If this happens the notification from the merger is lost and this thread will just wait ... Even if that notification is lost, the merge-thread always allows the shuffle threads to progress by doing a 'mergeProgress.notifyAll' _before_ it sleeps - thereby preventing any deadlocks. {quote} 2) The handshake between the merger, copier and the ramManager looks complex and there could be more race conditions like the one i pointed above. I and Sharad had a quick discussion and we feel it can be simplified. Have the ramManager.reserve lock the thread if the request cannot be satisfied Have the ramManager.unreserve do a notifyAll (this the mergeThread does) Have the shuffle thread notify the mergeThread (before it goes to wait) {quote} I agree, it is complicated. However it has a couple of important points: 1. RamManager.reserve cannot lock the thread without closing the http connection, doing so would leak the shuffle into the RamManager where you'd have to pass the HTTP input-stream to RamManager.reserve. 2. It is much better to do a 'notifyAll' on the shuffle threads when the _merge_ is complete, so one is reasonably sure that _all_ shuffle threads can progress. Doing it in RamManager.unreserve would let only one shuffle thread through at a time and the contention for the lock would be very high - every thread will wake up, and get lockedup inside the RamManager again. > Shuffle/Merge improvements > -------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-3366 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3366 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Assignee: Arun C Murthy > Fix For: 0.18.0 > > Attachments: 3366.1.patch, 3366.1.patch, 3366.reducetask.patch, HADOOP-3366_0_20080605.patch, ifile.patch > > > This is intended to be a meta-issue to track various improvements to shuffle/merge in the reducer. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Harmony: practice
Xavior rushed out the room so fast my head span, I know Xavior does this but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I smelt someone new, a new vampire, I hope they know whats about to happen. If not, I guesse they'll have to get filled in later. I opened the door and Xavior was there already, smiling as usual. "What was that about?"
"New vampire, told her to go meet everyone." He smiled
"Okay" I dont know why this bothered me...maybe I was just tense.
"Oh!" Xavior said as he closed the door "I remember what I was gonna ask you! I havn't seen you since...well, I was wondering if you had any special abilities. Like my empathy stuff of Asha's mind messaging"
"Well, I can mesmorize people by singing"
"Like a siren?"
Xavior sat down on the bed and stayed silent for a little while. "Show me"
"What?! no way Xavior! no way!"
"Why not?"
"I controll people by singing, I put them in a trance"
"I guessed that" He smiled "C'mon, mesmorize me"
I rolled my eyes"You wont shut up until I do it will you"
"Nope" He smiled and then became serious "Come on Har, I'd really like to see"
I sighed and began to sing, Xavior's eyes glazed over and I stopped, he remained in the trance. "Xavior"
"yes?" his eyes were still glazed over, so I figured I could talk now, while whoever was in a trance. I clicked my fingers, but nothing happened. I slapped him. Nada.
"Xavior, return to normal" his eyes turned back to their normal un-glazed blue and I smiled.
"So, are you gonna do it?"
"I just did you big idiot" I laughed "I should have taken a picture!"
Xavior stood up "Glad I ammuse you" he began to walk toward the door, and thats when it hit me.

Resources for developers using ClojureScript to build React Native apps.
#cljsrn channel in Clojurians Slack.
#clojurescript channel on freenode.net
Re-Natal is the most popular and most actively developed. The consensus on #cljsrn slack channel is that it's probably the way to go. It supports React Native 0.44, Reagent and Om Next, iOS and Android, fast CLJS compilation+injection during development, and has a nice way to require native packages and static images.
boot-react-native uses similar JavaScript techniques for hooking into the React Native packager and providing a REPL, except packaged for boot. It's on an older version of React Native, and less actively developed, but does have some cool features such as combining the React Native packager's console output with ClojureScript compiler's. It's also a bit more lightweight than Re-Natal.
Natal supports iOS and is based on a different approach (Ambly) that directly interacts with the device using the native ClojureScript compilation model (without the React Native packager once running): It discovers an instrumented app using Bonjour and sends the output of the compiler directly to the device using WebDAV. It is not actively developed.
Blog posts pertaining to ClojureScript with React Native and associated tooling.
Slides, demos, talks, etc. pertaining to ClojureScript with React Native and associated tooling.

If you've ever tried to entertain a houseful of children or grandchildren on a rainy summer day, you know the value of indoor attractions.
And if you can find one that's as interesting for adults as it is for the younger set, you know you've found a gem.
That's what makes Tuckerton Seaport in Ocean County, Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center in Cumberland County and the Atlantic City Aquarium so special. It's part of the reason that people concerned with tourism repeat over and over that the Jersey shore needs attractions aside from beaches and boardwalks.
And it is one of the great things about the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum at the Cape May County Airport.
So it was good news last week when county freeholders approved a plan to seek Historic District status for 12 acres of the airport, including several buildings that date from the World War II-era Naval Air Station. The designation, if approved by the State Historic Preservation Office, could help the museum expand by providing tax credits and preservation funds.
The Naval Air Station museum is pretty much just a hangar full of old planes. The great thing about it is that it's just a hangar full of old planes.
Yes, there are interactive science stations and displays about American culture in the 1940s. The museum shows an interesting film about the history of the station, where young recruits learned to be dive-bomber pilots (and at least 42 of them lost their lives).
But the best part of the museum is the chance to get up close and personal with an impressive collection of historic flying machines and other military memorabilia.
While it is a great rainy-day destination, in better weather visitors can wander outside the hangar and actually sit in a Vietnam War-era helicopter.
Museum Director Joe Salvatore had originally sought the Historic District designation for a much larger section of the airport. That plan was opposed by the county, the Federal Aviation Administration, some pilots and the Delaware River and Bay Authority, which leases much of the airport. Their concern was that by having too much of the airport under a historic designation, future growth and development would be limited.
The area the county OK'd for historic status last week includes three World War II-era buildings, including the hangar that houses the museum.
Museum officials are talking about expansion plans that could include creating a U.S. Coast Guard museum that would have room for exhibits that don't fit in the small museum at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn.
If it has the same casual, hands-on atmosphere and the same sort of wow-factor exhibits as the Naval Air Station museum, it sounds like another winner for Cape May County - and harried parents throughout southern New Jersey.

I have watched the managers at this World Cup finals with interest. Some of them put all their emotion on show. There is nothing premeditated or planned. They behave instinctively and they celebrate their team's goals with joy. Others seem to be trying to project a demeanour. They're acting.
I like Mexico's coach Miguel Herrera. He is there in the moment. There is nothing forced about him. So too Jorge Sampaoli of Chile. He prowls around that technical area with intensity. He doesn't spend any time checking how he looks on the stadium screens. As a football person, I like that. I am sure the fans appreciate it too.
When I was Tottenham manager last season, a leading figure at the club suggested to me it was important how I stood in the technical area. He advised me not to stand with my hands behind my back twiddling my thumbs – not that I had. Andre Villas-Boas had done that and the club hadn't liked it. I said it didn't matter how I, or Andre, stood. The person in question thought it did.
I don't care about perception. My reactions on the touchline were emotionally honest. When you are out there on your own you go through massive highs and lows. I don't think it is wrong to show your emotions.
But it is something that is picked up on by people in football, especially the people who make the big decisions. And there are some managers who use it to their advantage. They project an image. There are a lot of actors out there.
I have spoken to a few people in football since I left Spurs. Many of them have told me that if I had kept my mouth shut on certain issues I might still be manager there.
I always had the best interests of the club at heart. I never criticised the club, or publically criticised individuals. Obviously I want to learn, and there are things that I might have to change. But I also want to be myself.
There are some people at football clubs who think that the demeanour of a manager, what he says to the press and the television after the match, is more important than how he prepares his team or the ability to make changes during the game. It's a nonsense. But I can think of so many managers who get jobs on the back of the way they project themselves.
People talk about having sports psychiatrists at clubs. In my experience they are there more for the manager than the players. Some managers even work to a script with the press. My approach was to do it off the cuff.
I liked the way Gus Poyet handled it at Sunderland last season. He was honest about his emotions and he was honest in the way he reacted to the events on the pitch. After games he was cool and detached and could analyse things fairly. But he never tried to be anything he was not.
Kenny Dalglish, my manager at Blackburn Rovers, was always honest with his emotions. He found it very hard to take a defeat and had to bite his lip as best he could. He coped with it with by being quite sarcastic with the press but he never hid his emotions in the good times and the bad times.
When I took the Tottenham job, I made one decision about what I would wear. Having worn a tracksuit in our first game, I decided that I wanted to wear a suit after that.
But it was winter and cold. I thought that going for the full overcoat was a bit passé. So I decided on the gilet.
It's amazing how much analysis there is of what a manager wears. It should not matter. Although I would draw the line at that red tank top that Fabio Capello wore on Thursday night.
It's hard to judge players in Dutch standing-still game
It is a real shame for Liverpool that Luis Suarez has been given a domestic football ban as well.
At Spurs, we looked at Suarez when he was playing for Ajax. Ian Broomfield, then the club's chief scout, and now back at the club, watched him a lot. We liked him. A lot of clubs liked him. I was never sure why we didn't bring him in.
The Dutch league is a difficult one to judge. I scouted the midfielder Adam Maher when he was at AZ Alkmaar, before he joined PSV Eindhoven. Every time I went to see him he was playing in a game of what I call "standing-still football", very common in that league, in my experience.
There is just not the same pressure on players there to perform week-in, week-out. It was really hard to judge whether he would be a success in the Premier League, watching him play that kind of standard.
I never had any doubts about Christian Eriksen. I watched him play as a 17-year-old and told Daniel Levy to sign him. Then, Eriksen wanted to continue his development at Ajax, which was a good choice. He can still improve his game but he will be a very good player. He will gain from the experience he has gathered in the Premier League.
Bentaleb is just right for Algeria – and Tottenham
I had a long chat with Nabil Bentaleb when he was considering his options for international football. He could have played for France, his place of birth. I said to him that he should not just join Algeria because they were at a World Cup finals. He said to me that he felt Algerian. That it was in his heart. In the end it was an easy decision.
Nabil's rise has been unbelievable. But playing at the World Cup, getting into the second round with Algeria, I see the same determination in him that first day he came in to Spurs for a trial.
He had been released by Dunkerque and first went on trial at Birmingham City. They took him for a couple of days and turned him down. I felt that we needed to see him over a longer period to get a proper idea of what he could do.
He had hunger and desire in training. His work ethic was fantastic. From the development sides right into the first team he showed everyone the way. He was a skinny kid when he came to us but he backs himself all the time in tackles with bigger players. He really cares. When we went out the Europa League to Benfica, he was in tears in the dressing room afterwards.
Nabil is not afraid of anyone. He is perfect for the way that Algeria play, with a pressing game. I tended to use him in a more defensive role, mainly because I knew I could trust him to do what I asked. But in his development at Spurs he has been a box-to-box midfielder and he has always scored goals in the junior age groups.
He still needs to develop and is not the finished article yet but in the future he could be that kind of goalscoring midfelder.
If Mauricio Pochettino is looking for that sort of player, then Nabil is perfect. He has to play regularly, though, if his development is to continue.
Messi is simply a marvel
What more to say about Lionel Messi? He is a genius and strong as an ox. He has great core strength that allows him to get past players. Sports scientists are always telling us how footballers have to be more powerful. I wonder if Messi has ever lifted a weight in his life. I bet he was not coached at eight or nine but simply allowed to play.
He is a street footballer, a free spirit. He found the way himself. It is his technique that has taken him to where he is now.
The rest of us can just sit back and admire him.Reuse content

The Encounter
It must've been five hours at the least. Everyone was getting antsy, including me. Alice didn't understand it. She had seen them coming hours ago to a snow white clearing in the forest. But then again, there were hundreds of acres of snowy forests around here, it was easy to get them confused with each other. I understood. But Edward was furious, as usual these days.
"Alice, can you not get anything right?" He growled in her face. She gasped an growled right back.
"Well why don't you try juggling a thousand different things in your mind at the same time, and then we'll see who can do it better, Edward?"
"I already do!" He shouted back.
"Edward!" I snapped, taking a step in between the two of them and pushing their faces away. I swiveled to face my husband.
"How dare you insult her like that. You of all people know what she is going through. Can't you give her a tiny dose of slack?"
"I can't," he muttered. "I'm too busy picking up everyone else's slack." My mouth gaped. Did he truly have the gall to think that was true?
"How can you-" I began to say before he cut me off.
"Including yours!" I heard Alice roar behind me and jumped around in time to see Jasper holding her around her stomach, trying to retain her. Her gleaming teeth were bared and ferocious snarls ripped from her throat.
"See what you've done now!" I yelled at Edward, and his eyes softened as he stared at his wild sister. But he said nothing in reply, no apology or sign of remorse.
I now noticed that deeper snarls of my own were mixing with hers. I uncontrollably lowered into a crouching position. This action, however, caught Edward off guard and he took a step back. I felt strong hands on my shoulders and became aware of Emmett bravely standing at my back. I instantly stood upright, recognizing what was happening. I brushed off my jeans and looked at Edward's horrified face. I listened as the feral sounds coming from behind me softened and altogether ceased. I couldn't speak, I was so ashamed.
Edward slowly took a step back towards me and pulled me into a hug, crushing me against his chest. I sniffed in his delicious scent, almost beginning to feel woozy.
"I'm so sorry," he breathed into my hair, kissing it.
"Me too," I gasped into his shoulder. I didn't let go of him, and he made no effort to pull me away.
"I apologize, Alice," he said over my head. "My behavior was unacceptable." I didn't hear her reply, but by the way Edward's body relaxed the next moment I knew there had been forgiveness. I pulled on his tan sweater, holding him tighter. I didn't care if everyone was watching us, it didn't matter. But Edward didn't respond. Instead, he stiffened and his hands tightened on my arms.
"What?" I murmured into his shirt. I head Charlie gasp from the other end of the scene.
"They're here." Suddenly, there was a lot of movement and Edward peeled me off of him, but took my hand and led me to the front line.
"Ness, get behind us." I felt warmer as she and Jake took their places behind us. I heard the distant padding of giant wolf feet as the ascended to their line. I'm not sure who was the first to see them, but Edward moved to be in front of me as soon as I saw them. They came slowly from the edge of the forest in a choreographed formation, much like the last time.
At first, I only saw a black blur above the white. Then they became more defined as they got closer to the clearing. Suddenly, I heard a gasp from the second line.
"Ness!" Jacob cried. I threw myself around to see my daughter crumpled in a ball on the snow. I knelt next to her, feeling her for some kind of wound, but found none. As soon as I touched her, though, she uncurled.
"Nessie?" I gasped. Her head moved up and down shakily and she reached up to grab Jacob's shoulder. He pulled her up onto his lap. I heard another thud to the left of me on the front line and saw Alice falling backwards. Jasper was behind her in a second, but her eyes were closed, her mouth in a frown.
"Bella!" Shouted Carlisle. I looked at his panicked face and understood. But I couldn't believe it. Jane.
I let go of my shield and it flew out around us before snapping back into place. I then heard a tortured howl from the wolves and threw part of the shield back to hit whoever was first in the line. I looked over to Edward, and he nodded his head, still looking forward. I now felt the sharp stabs of Jane's power making contact with my shield. But I froze in shock. The power was different. Stronger. More like a stinging than a stabbing. And there were multiple attacks happening at once, flying out all around us, out of control.
I hadn't realized it, but the Volturi had stopped their descent. They were a good hundred yards away. But it still wasn't enough for me. The darkest cloak in the middle, darker than a coal color, removed its hood and outstretched its hand. Aro was revealed, in all his "glory". He looked exactly the same as he did years ago, which was not a surprise. His whispery voice ran a chill up my spine as he addressed Carlisle.
"My dear friend, Carlisle. How are you doing?" Carlisle returned bitterly.
"My family and myself were getting along just fine before we received your letter, thank you very much Aro." The stings kept spearing my shield, and I flinched at one directed towards me. Edward noticed and looked down at me. His eyes widened as he realized what was happening. His mouth twitched as he whispered to me, "How did they find her? Jane was destroyed!" I shook my head, not knowing the answer. Aro was shaking his head too while his arm retracted.
"I am sad to hear of your hatred towards me, Carlisle. Unfortunately, I suppose that is something that cannot be helped." He looked around. "Is this all that will be joining us today? I expected many more visitors."
"Yes, this is it. We weren't expecting you to come so soon. You caught us off guard," Carlisle played cautiously. "Bu then again, I am not expecting to need a large group today, as there will surely not be any violence. This meeting is uncalled for, Aro." Carlisle's face was angry, and Aro's now mirrored it.
"You may believe that. But my brothers and I have a different opinion on the subject." Aro gestured with his hand for his brothers, Marcus and Caius, to move forward with him.
When they removed their hoods, so did everyone else in their line. That is when I saw her, the second darkest cloak in the army, my attacker, the small angelic child that was not Jane. I didn't recognize her face, though it was similar to Jane's terrifying, yet childish beauty. I stared at her, trying to find a trace of Jane in her. Yet I saw none. Her dark brown hair was long and wavy, way past her shoulders. Her skin was pale, almost like Aro's, but not as papery. Her eyes were black. Darker than her cloak. They stood out among her white skin, white dark purple circles underneath.
"May I introduce my new family?" Aro asked, his voice saturated with pride.

Question: Does Mouth Breathing Affect My Oxygen Levels?

Answer: Supplemental oxygen is generally prescribed to people whose partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) as measured by arterial blood gases (ABGs) is less than or equal to 55 mg Hg and a documented oxygen saturation level of 88% or less while awake (or that drops to this level during sleep for at least 5 minutes).

Many patients receive in-home oxygen through an oxygen delivery device known as a nasal cannula. This thin, plastic tube has two small prongs at one end that rest in the nostrils. The nasal cannula can comfortably deliver oxygen to a patient at 1 to 6 liters per minute (LPM), in concentrations ranging from 24% to 40 percent, depending upon how many LPM are being delivered. In comparison, room air contains about 21% oxygen, which is generally not enough for people with lung disease.

The Benefits of Supplemental Oxygen: Do Mouth Breathers Obtain Them?

By far, the greatest benefit of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is that, when used at least 15 hours a day, it increases survival. But, are patients who use oxygen and breathe through their mouths able to derive the full benefit of oxygen therapy? Or, does mouth breathing result in low levels of oxygen in the blood, cells, and tissues?

Research involving this topic is contradictory as demonstrated by the following examples:

In a study involving 323 mouth-breathing subjects, researchers set out to determine the effect of mouth breathing on oxygen saturation. For the purpose of the study, mouth breathing was assessed by physical examination and questionnaires filled out by subjects or their partners. Oxygen saturation was measured by pulse oximetry. Results of the study found that 34.6% of the cases had normal oxygen saturation levels (95% or greater), 22.6% had an oxygen saturation level of 95% and 42.8% were considered hypoxic, with oxygen saturation levels below the set study limit of 95 percent. Researchers concluded that, while mouth breathing doesn't always result in hypoxia, it can contribute to it.

Another study involving 10 healthy subjects compared aspirated gas samples of both open and closed-mouth breathers from the tip of a nasal cannula resting in the nasopharynx. The study concluded that not only did the delivered fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) increase with increasing oxygen flow rates but, compared to closed-mouth breathers, open-mouth breathers realized a significantly greater FIO2. However, in an editorial disputing the validity of the aforementioned study, Dr. Thomas Poulton, Chief Resident of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine's Department of Anesthesia, explains that gas samples taken from this area are not likely to be accurate because they contain only oxygen-enriched gas - not gas mixed with room air. Gas Samples taken from the trachea, which is further down the throat, would yield a more accurate gas concentration.

Much ADO About Mouth Breathing: What Can You Do About It?

The solution to mouth breathing is often dependent upon the underlying cause. Once accurately diagnosed, you can address treatment options which may include the following:

 Clear your nasal passages - Some people have no choice but to breathe through their mouths because their nasal passages are blocked. A stuffy nose may be caused by allergies, illness, prior trauma or even weather changes. Over-the-counter antihistamines are available to keep allergy symptoms at bay and open up clogged nasal passages. Saline nasal spray is a natural alternative to medication and helps lubricate the nasal passages, often relieving congestion. If over-the-counter antihistamines and/or saline nasal sprays don't work for you, talk to your health care provider about using a prescription nasal spray such as Flonase.

 Make an appointment with your dentist - Dentists are sometimes more knowledgeable than doctors when it comes to understanding mouth breathing. If your dentist determines that a facial or dental abnormality is the root of your mouth breathing, she may fit you with a functional device to help correct the problem.

 Switch to a simple face mask - The easiest solution to mouth breathing, if medically appropriate, is to switch to a simple face mask. Generally, this is not very practical for many patients and must first be approved by your oxygen-prescribing health care provider. One alternative is to consider using the nasal cannula during the day, and switching to a simple face mask at night, so at least you'll be getting the full benefit of oxygen therapy during the hours in which you are asleep. Talk to your healthcare provider for more information about alternatives to the nasal cannula.

 Nasal surgery - If your nasal passages are blocked because of a deviated septum, talking to an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Specialist about surgery may help correct the problem allowing you to breathe better. Remember, people with COPD should be especially cautious when undergoing surgery, because of the potential post-operative complications associated with anesthesia.

 Transtracheal oxygen therapy - Transtracheal oxygen therapy (TTOT) is a method of administering supplemental oxygen directly into the trachea (windpipe). As an alternative to the nasal cannula, it delivers up to 6 liters of oxygen per minute through a small, plastic tube called a catheter. TTOT is generally reserved for patients who have low blood oxygen levels that don't respond well to traditional methods of oxygen delivery.

The Importance of Pulse Oximetry

Whether you breathe through your mouth or nose, a pulse oximetry monitor is a must-have for any patient who receives in-home oxygen therapy. Pulse oximeters detect rapid changes in oxygen saturation levels providing you with a warning that you're low on oxygen. Compare prices on pulse oximetry monitors and never be in the dark about your oxygen saturation levels again.

A recent mind meld piece over at SFSignal.com reminded me I'd wanted to write some time about books I admire that are largely but unfairly forgotten.
Top of the list is probably Farewell Horizontal, by K.W. Jeter. In more recent years, Jeter is more known for writing Star Wars novelisations, as well as a series of 'sequels' to the movie version of Bladerunner. Before that, he was a contemporary and - I believe - friend of Philip K. Dick, and one of the most cutting-edge, experimental, even daring science fiction writers around. That level of experimentation, alas, didn't pay the bills. In those pre-Lucas days, he wrote a novel called Dr Adder, which scorched my eyeballs so badly a couple of decades ago I haven't since been able to bring myself to read it again because it was so shocking. It was a bit like watching Darren Aronofsky's film version of Hubert Selby's Requiem For A Dream; I really admired the artistry and the intensity of it as a piece of work, but it's so desperately grim and horrible that I don't think I could ever bring myself to watch it again (I recall a while back The Onion published a list of 'great films you don't want to see again' and Requiem was top of the pile). Dr Adder is like that; not for the squeamish.
The novel I want to talk about, however, is much more straightforward than that. Farewell Horizontal is a fairly straightforward but highly original sf adventure. It centres around a graffiti ('grafix') artist who lives in a segment of a tower miles in circumference, high above the clouds. His people have been living there so long nobody even knows what's beneath the perpetual layer of clouds. One assumes it's a Clarkean bridge to orbit, but it's never stated. Unlike most of his people, our hero decides to find a new life on the outside of the bridge - the sides of which he travels on board a motorbike, adapted so thousands of tiny lashes shoot out of the wheels, effectively glueing the bike to the wall of the tower as he drives it up down and around. He becomes involved with the warring gangs and outcasts who populate the outside. It's a novel I've returned to several times, for the sheer visceral pleasure of some of the finest worldbuilding I've yet encountered.
I heard a rumour it was meant to be the first of a trilogy, but presumably FH didn't sell enough for those to be written or published. That's a hell of a shame. You might be interested to know he also wrote what's widely regarded as the granddaddy of all steampunk books, and very certainly (to my mind) the best of the lot - Infernal Devices. Infernal Devices deserves a write-up some time too, if i ever get around to it (probably once I'm back in Scotland and I get a chance to re-read it again).

Hi all, a mate of mine who is a VERY novice swimmer is taking on a challenge to swim 1.4 miles in 11 weeks time, shes fairly slow and just starting out in her exercise regime having recently lost 4 stone. I'm very proud of her for taking on this challenge but she's the kind of person that needs a training plan for her to stick to, to achieve this but i can't seem to find any on the usual google avenues - anyone got a linky thing or an idea where i may find one??
Cheers all
You might do better asking in the Triathlon forum but I know what you mean about it being difficult to find plans.
I just make up my own plans. The biggest problem most people have with swim training is the boredom factor, so it helps to mix it up with a few different drills. The drills available will depend on what stroke(s) your friend does. Because swimming effectively is very technique driven and not so dependant on fitness, the more often you can do it, the more quickly you will improve.
If you google "swim drills" you will have more luck finding information in open access sites.
Ultimately though, the most straight-forward plan is to draw a graph showing how many lengths your friend can swim today versus how many she needs to swim in eleven weeks and aim to increase the weekly distance proportionately. There's no need to taper like you would expect to for running.
I hope this helps. Wish her luck.

Once or twice a year, the team Odyssey Works chooses one participant to undergo a transformation, to embark on an Odyssey. Interwoven into the participant's life, the Odyssey can contain art, architecture, and design objects, friends and family, or a group of complete strangers.
Participants have been buried alive, kidnapped by people in pink onesies, and even in the case of one participant--novelist Rick Moody--found himself in Canada not knowing what he was doing there until he discovered a cello concert in a field playing just for him. Some Odysseys are short. Some go on for months.
