9 Ways I'm Changing My Marathon Training This Year
With the academic year starting up again, so too is my training for the Honolulu Marathon. This year will be my second try at the course, and I want to finish faster, so I'm making some changes to the way I prepare:
- Adding strength training and foam rolling to my cool-down routine. I'm focusing on my arms and core because my arms suffered a lot more last year than I expected.
- Adding mobility drills to my warmup. I have pretty good form already, but it can always be improved. Plus, warming up properly will help me avoid injuries.
- Not using an off-the-shelf training plan. I'm still basing the pattern of runs I do in the mornings off the Hal Higdon plan, but I'm following my own cycle for when I back off in mileage and when I push ahead.
- Running beach intervals two nights per week. I need to run fast sometimes if I want to run faster. Plus, the sand will provide resistance that will help me with hills.
- Doing yoga the other nights of the week, focusing on hip openers and building strength in my core and arms (notice a theme?). I will use a more restorative style as needed. Last year, I did yoga twice a week at most.
- Foam rolling on my rest mornings. Recovery is serious business.
- Stand up paddle boarding on my cross-training mornings, working—guess what?—my arms and core.
- Running a course that will bring me over the bridge whenever possible. It's the only hill on the island, and I wasn't ready for Diamond Head last year.
- Carrying a two-liter hydration pack on my long runs. It's hotter here than it is in Honolulu.
Now, my question to you is this: how many times do I have to run the same marathon before it becomes a tradition?

5 Ways I'm Changing My Syllabi This Semester
This semester, I'm not teaching any new courses, so with two weeks to go until classes begin, I'm refreshing previous syllabi, but I want to do more than change the dates.The following are five steps I'm taking to continue developing syllabi that focus on improving learning instead of being mere compilations of rules and regulations.
- Adding my own brief explanation of each course, focused on its overarching and disciplinary questions, before the required description and outcomes. I plan to have students write their best guesses at the answers to the questions on the first day and then have them revisit those questions at the midterm and the end of the semester. In part this change is based on Ken Bain's What the Best College Teachers Do, as he suggests that starting with questions is part of the essential process of creating a "natural critical environment." It is also influenced by the importance of helping students to see the value of a discipline as part of a general education course, which the students in last semester's postcolonial studies learning community helped me to see. For Introduction to Literature, I ask:
How can we think about literature, and why would you want to?
- Focusing more on visual design. I have always given my students both printed and digital syllabuses with the latter in a format that allows them to change the font or its size so that students with visual impairments have more options for accessibility. My goal here, however, goes beyond readability. I want the syllabus to be visually appealing and to look friendly. I am playing with the typeface and making sure each printed page has a visual element such as a picture or a chart.
- Adding a list of required attitudes and beliefs, such as
Everyone can improve their writing through consistent practice.
My hope here is to create a ground for the building of metacognitive skills from day one. I have already been including the outcomes of prerequisite courses and what students should do if they do not feel confident in their ability to do them.
- Simplifying the language by sticking to the 1000 most-used English words when feasible. For introductory courses, I am also putting other words that are important to the course itself in bold and using them in a syllabus vocabulary quiz on the second day of class. The goal is to get students in the habit of looking up words they don't know and to establish some familiarity with the basic language of the discipline.
- Noting that if students have excellent attendance, I will round their final grades up, per this Vitae "Dear Forums…" post.
What are you adding to (or removing from) your syllabi this semester?

Essay: Whither Teaching in the University Novel?
Now that I have converted my doctoral thesis into a book, my critical work is moving in two directions. One looks at the questions raised during my first project, mostly related to how power, pleasure, play, and pedagogy overlap in James Joyce's work. (Yes, I do have an alliteration problem.) The other direction considers pedagogy in other texts. It is this latter line of inquiry that led to "Whither Teaching in the University Novel?", which started with the question of why direct representation of classroom teaching is so limited in university fiction. The article has been published as part of a special issue of American, British and Canadian Studies Journal on academic fiction, and you can read it in full at http://www.degruyter.com/downloadpdf/j/abcsj.2016.26.issue-1/abcsj-2016-0002/abcsj-2016-0002.xml

New to this board (but not Babycenter). I posted this on my birth board, but didn't get a single response so thought I'd ask here. I had decided on a repeat c-section but am second-guessing myself. My emergency c-section was hard to recover from, and as much as I think a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean section) would be great, I don't want to get stuck w/ another emergency c-section if it doesn't work (which is why I was going to choose a planned one--heard from several they're a lot easier than their emergency one). But now, I'm second guessing. Should I go for it??
Looking for opinions/guidance for my particular situation. Obviously, some people feel strongly one way or the other, and that is fine, but I would really love feedback from those who see both sides of the fence (vs I'd go for VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean section) b/c I'm against c-section, or vice versa. I understand the risks of both and am comfortable either way.)
So, delivery of my first child ended in an emergency c-section after hours of pushing (he was stuck, but he was also posterior which makes it more difficult), no progress, and no epidural. It started easy, and ended up being a pretty terrible experience.
I decided on a repeat c-section, knowing that I wouldn't want to go through that again just to end up w/ an emergency c-section. It's anecdotal, but I've spoken w/ several people who said their planned one was much easier (and my doctor said patients tell her the same thing). So, knowing that a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean section) is not guaranteed (and my doctor put my chances at 50/50 seeing I labored unsuccessfully before and it wasn't due to being breech or some other reason where I never labored), I chose the repeat as sort of a middle ground. Again, I really do not want to go through that again.
But, now that the date is getting closer, I'm second-guessing myself. A major concern for me is the recovery. I had a tough time recovering from my emergency c-section, and I keep thinking how nice it would be to have a successful VBAC. I mean, I have a 2.5 year-old now that I'll have to take care of at the same time, and frankly I just want my body back. No more pain and discomfort. But if it doesn't work out, then I'm stuck with an emergency c-section instead of a planned one. What to do?? I do like the convenience factor of the planned c-section (all of our family is out of town, so someone can be here to watch LO (little one) if planned), but ultimately that's not going to be the deciding factor.

New York continues its clean energy transition
Robert Magyar
Albany - As nearby Pennsylvania places the majority of its energy bet on its shale gas industry, New York State takes a decidedly different approach going with expanded Clean Energy initiatives.
How the shale gas industry helped defeat Gov. Tom Corbett
Robert Magyar
Harrisburg - Tom Corbett became the only GOP incumbent governor not re-elected for a second term in the recent 2014 mid-term elections. Backed by the powerful oil and gas industry, it appears this overwhelming industry support may have cost Corbett a second term.
Fracking and investor-owned water utilities share the spoils
Lynn Herrmann
Washington - America's two largest publicly traded water utilities are positioned to benefit from the billions of gallons of water needed annually by the oil and gas industry's hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and could be downplaying associated water risks.
Fracking in New York towns could be decided by courts
Lynn Herrmann
Ithaca - Environmental officials in New York have created plans for regulations allowing hydraulic fracturing in much of the state, with the exception of key watersheds, aquifers, and state land, exceptions an oil and gas attorney calls "legally questionable."
Susquehanna River named most endangered in US due to fracking
Lynn Herrmann
Washington - Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has led to the naming of the Susquehanna River as America's most endangered river in an annual report listing the top ten rivers in the country at environmental risk from factors such as coal, uranium and sewage.
Study shows frack wells cause methane-contaminated drinking water
Lynn Herrmann
Durham - A new scientific study has, for the first time, found a pattern linking hydraulic fracturing and natural gas drilling with methane contamination of drinking water, with some contamination levels so high that faucet taps can be set on fire.
Op-Ed: Chemical-laden fracking wastewater breakthrough, says DOE, maybe
Lynn Herrmann
Washington - After a recently released Congressional report revealed companies involved in the controversial hydraulic fracturing process are using toxic and carcinogenic agents, the Department of Energy states a "novel" water cleaning technology is in the works.
Oil and gas inspectors in PA now limited from enforcing violators
Lynn Herrmann
Harrisburg - A series of leaked email from Pennsylvania' Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) reveals gas and oil inspectors responsible for policing the Marcellus Shale development can no longer issue violations to drilling companies without prior approval

Acclaimed actor Rahul Bose, who worked under Zoya Akhtar's direction for the first time in 'Dil Dhadakne Do', says she knows her work very well and still she's open to suggestions.
Rahul Bose
"Zoya knows exactly what she wants, but is willing to experiment on how to get there. She will give an actor all the freedom the actor wants but she won't compromise on the aim and intent of the scene. She has a clear idea of who each character is," Rahul told IANS.
'Dil Dhadakne Do', released earlier this month, saw an ensemble cast of actors like Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Farhan Akhtar, Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma.
Rahul said it's been "one of the most satisfying film experiences" for him.
"All the actors worked incredibly hard. Everyone came to the sets having done their homework and was open to improvisations. It was a great experience on and off screen," he added.

You bought your 528xi because its sporty handling and German engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? When your BMW 528xi left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants European styling in their automobile. Your BMW dealership isn't the only place to find trusted repair parts to fix your 528xi. It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Ignition Lock Cylinder & Switch to repair your vehicle.
No one could argue that if you can't start your car, then everything else about it is useless. The pin tumbler style ignition lock has been around for decades and decades, and without it your BMW 528xi wouldn't be able to turn over today. In most vehicles replacing the ignition lock cylinder is a straight forward process, and typically involves removing just the steering column cover panels to get to it. Obviously a broken BMW 528xi ignition lock cylinder renders your car useless, so get it replaced ASAP.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the correct BMW 528xi part for your needs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy.

Regularly recognizing your workers' efforts and accomplishments is integral to boosting employee morale. Don't mix your praise with critical feedback, however, or your commendation won't seem genuine. According to a 2011 CBS News article, the best bosses let compliments stand on their own and save constructive comments for later.
Right Away
Acknowledge your employees immediately after they do something commendable to maximize the effectiveness of your appreciation. According to Inc.com, the longer you wait, the less your commendation will mean.
When Deserved
If you walk around work commending all your employees all the time, your praise will pack a less potent punch. Don't be the boss that cried, "Great job." If you want your compliments to mean something, only dispense praise when employees truly deserve it.
When recommending employees, focus on exactly what they've done to get your attention rather than giving a general summation of their character. Instead of generic comments like "I'm commending you for being such a wonderful person" or "I appreciate your positive influence," get into specifics. Say, "I want to commend you for taking charge on that research project" or "Thank you for consistently treating customers with respect and appreciation."
What makes one employee feel appreciated might not work for another. Some employees might enjoy public appreciation, while others may prefer to receive accolades in private. If you're giving gifts, make sure to give something your employee will actually use. Don't give a gift certificate for a car wash and detail to the employee who rides the bus.
Spread It Around
Although you might have exceptional workers who really deserve constant recognition, singling them out constantly can cause a tense work environment. Pay close attention to the efforts and successes of every member of your team so you'll have good reason to spread the praise around.

"There is losing a game in the preseason and then there is playing poorly," head coach Mike Holmgren said. "In the preseason, sometimes if I am getting my answers from the right players, which is a big goal for us, I can handle losing a game here and there. I cannot tolerate how we played (against the Packers)."
Among the greatest concerns coming into camp was the status of a reconfigured offensive line. Walter Jones was unquestioned at left tackle, of course, and young starters Rob Sims and Chris Spencer, at left guard and center, were expected to take over their spots for years. The right side of guard Chris Gray and tackle Sean Locklear was to be challenged by Floyd Womack and Ray Willis.
But with Jones and Locklear out nursing injuries, the line has only further unraveled rather than solidifying into a cohesive unit. Sims and Spencer, and Gray, for the most part, were steady against the Packers, but the backup tackles were horrendous. Tom Ashworth was repeatedly beaten at left tackle, and Womack was tossed around with embarrassing ease.
The Seahawk staff was shrewd in one regard, however; sensing imminent protection issues, they kept starting quarterback Matt Hasselbeck off the field. That left Seneca Wallace and David Greene to absorb six sacks and countless hurries. Wallace only added to staff insecurity by losing two fumbles, while Greene threw three interceptions.
Special teams, under new coach Bruce DeHaven, performed poorly. On one kickoff return, the Hawks were flagged for three separate holding violations. Some of those, of course, were by players who won't be on the team come September. If there was a bright spot for the Seahawks on special teams, though, it was rookie kickoff returner Josh Wilson. While still learning the ropes as a nickel cornerback, Wilson showed enough speed to get to the sideline and turn it up-field on kickoffs. He fumbled his first return of the season in the San Diego game, but unfailingly held onto the ball on a rainy night in Green Bay.
Another area of solid play continues to be the receivers, especially Nate Burleson and Ben Obomanu. Burleson has had a strong camp and is playing with far greater confidence than last season, when a thumb injury caused him to get off to a slow start. Burleson turned a short route into a 55-yard catch-and-run against the Packers. With those efforts, he's challenging D.J. Hackett for the starting job at split end.
After the loss, Holmgren promised to remind players that nobody has earned roster spots yet, a move geared toward improving the intensity and focus that has been lacking thus far.
The Seahawks benefit from having their final two preseason games and their regular-season opener all at home at Qwest Field.
"In fairness to the athlete, if he's competing for the sixth linebacker position or the fifth wide receiver position, you have to get those guys into the games," coach Mike Holmgren said. "You have to let them play and then make your evaluations off that. It's not always fair but that's what we try to do. Those types of things, the battle for the third tight end or the second tight end, the nickelback, the fourth corner; that's why it's important we get those young guys in there to play."
"I think if you have an older team it probably makes a little more sense," Hasselbeck said. "You look at Walter Jones, for three years he didn't even have a minicamp or a training camp and those were probably his three best years. It is probably on a person-to-person basis and that's Coach Holmgren's job to decide. At the same time if you haven't played together with guys, if you're playing with a new person next to you or if you are relying on a new person, I think it is important to get out there and get as much work as you can done."
"He's doing fine," Holmgren said. "He's learning. Every day he sees something a little bit new. I love his attitude. We're counting on him for a lot this year."
"There is no doubt in my mind," he said. "I see the way our chemistry is with this team. I have a better feeling about this team than any other team in Seahawk history. I told everybody, it's always talent, then coaching, then chemistry, then health. That's just how it works with football. It's the greatest team sport in the world and it's because you have a bunch of people all coming together that have different talents that you have to mesh together to have one guy make a great play; whether it's a defensive stop in the hole or a DB picking off a pass. It's all because the D-line pushed and the linebackers were up underneath and they guy could make a jump. Whether it's me scoring a touchdown or a receiver making a great catch in the back of the end zone. It's all 11 guys coming together to make one play. That's all chemistry and that's all talent and that's all coaching. That's what gets you there and that last thing is just health. We have the first three already."
Trying to build depth in the secondary, the 'Hawks signed CB DeJuan Groce and released backup P Kyle Stringer. Groce was a fourth-round draft pick of the St. Louis Rams in 2003 and started 15 games in 2005. He played in 12 games for the New Orleans Saints last season and was released by the Saints on June 15.
Groce has 54 NFL games to his credit with 20 starts and three career interceptions.
The Hawks also dealt with dwindling depth at tight end by signing TE Andy Stokes.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It is just unacceptable. And so we will fix it." — Coach Mike Holmgren after a 48-13 drubbing at Green Bay.

KNOW_IT_ALL_ GROOMING SKIN AND BARE IT DON'T KNOW YOUR UVA FROM UVB? SWAMPED ON HYDRATION? DR TASMAN LIPSCOMBE, SYDNEY DERMATOLOGIST AND SURGEON, EXPLAINS HOW TO STAY HEALTHY THIS SUMMER. :: Are cheaper sunscreens as effective as pricey ones? When it comes to sunscreen, you get what you pay for. I recommend the Ego Sunsense range or Hamilton products, as they contain both UVA and UVB protection. The companies have invested specialist research into the science. :: Should everyone use a moisturiser? The skin has natural oils that help keep the outer layer healthy. Some people have a lot of these oils to start with, so don't needa moisturiser, but many have less of these natural oils. For them, moisturiser will help create healthier, better-looking skin. Producing too much natural oil leads to oily skin, but skin that's dry and flaky needs a moisturiser. :: What parts of our body should we pay most attention to when applying sunscreen? I see a lot of sun damage and skin cancers on the lower lip, the 'v' of the chest and the back of the hands. Also the sensitive skin around the eyes is difficult to apply sunscreen to, so a good pair of sunglasses with UV protection is essential. :: Do you still need to use sunscreen on darker skin? All skin types are vulnerable to sun damage and skin cancer. Sunburn is a result of extreme UV damage, but it occurs even if you are not burning. So it is essential to use SPF 30+ each day to ensure your skin is protected. Even if you have darker skin or you tan very easily, you are still damaging your skin. :: What is the best sun protection for children? Baby and toddler skin ismuchmore vulnerable to sun damage than adult skin, so you need to be particularly careful outdoors. I recommend using sunscreens that contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, as they are suitable for children's skin. These chemicals are low-irritant and contain active ingredients that reflect light away fromthe skin. :: How much water should we drink every day to keep our skin healthy in the heat? In order to maintain healthy skin and optimum hydration, you should drink at least eight glasses of water each day. THE LINE-UP Indigenous Australians have been using emu oil for thousands of years,making use of its anti- inflammatory and natural healing benefits for burns, insect bites and other skin irritations. So it comes as no surprise that emu oil is the latest natural wonder oil to make its way into beauty products, frommoisturisers and lip balms to anti-wrinkle creams. Studies have shown that emu oil may actually stimulate skin cell regeneration, improving scarring and soothing inflammation. DREMU :: Deceptionmiracle wrinkle hiding cream Oprah, Goldie Hawn and DemiMoore are big fans of Dremu products and this cream lives up to its promise. It's an intensely hydrating cream that stimulates collagen production for smoother skin. RRP :: $62 for 22ml (plus shipping from US) Visit :: www.dremu.com.

Flex Spending Accounts Cut in Half
So I did my 2013 benefit enrollment today, which I'm very grateful I'm able to do, and the maximum amount I could put in tax exempt flex spending health account has been lowered from 5k to 2500. I have 2 dependents on my policy and we went thru the 5k this year by June.
And my company made sure I knew this was due to Healthcare Affordability Act. Didn't realize this was in the law and I'm just wondering if anyone knows why? Is the idea that revenue will be higher if less income is tax exempt? Sucks for me, but if it makes the plan work....

1. You may not need it
Since more will be covered by insurance. Check ups, for example, will have no deductibles.

2. Yes, I knew that. I don't know why. I don't use it. It has ripped me off of $1,240.
The rules are tricky....use it or lose it. It sucks. I don't use it.
As to why they lessened the amount, I don't know why. 100% coverage of preventive exams doesn't begin to amount to the amount cut from flex.
I guess it was costing too much in taxes?

7. The HSA seems like a much better way to go
With the flex accounts, you really should only contribute money that you are absolutely certain you will have to spend (e.g. for expensive drugs)
The HSA is a lifetime account -- no issue with use-it-or-lose-it.

9. Theoretically, HSA sounds good. BUT...
the ins. cos. have made the premiums so high, now, and the deductible so high, that even HSAs are not worth it.
I had one offered at my last job, and one is offered at my current job. I ran the numbers, to the extent I could, and I couldn't find an advantage (although there could be one, in certain circumstances), but there was a for-sure downside. Pretty much, you do not have insurance coverage for the first several thousand dollars (whatever the deductible is).
In the older days, HSAs were offered with deductibles as low as $1,000. But that wasn't what was offered to me.
I've read that the ACA will have the effect of doing away with HSAs. Why? Because of the 80%-85% rule: ins. cos. must spend at least 80% to 85% of their premiums on paying claims. So that says a lot about HSAs, doesn't it? That they won't pass that rule.
Ins. cos. could lower the premiums for HSAs, and that would make them viable under the ACA. If they do that.

10. The 80% rule is in place and they are still offering them
I don't know that the HSA policies are any more or less profitable than any other variety. The insurance companies are pretty good at pricing their policies to maximize their profit in each case. My assumption is that the HSA policies are about as profitable as the non-HSA policies.
I have a very high deductible HSA policy, which makes the monthly premium affordable to me (about $600 a month for two people in their late 50s). The insurance company (under ACA) is required to pay for a lot of routine things, but I take $10,000 of rick on the big items. That's not for everybody, but it is something we can live with. I wish it cost less. I wish we had single payer, because the actual cost would be about half what I'm paying and I wouldn't have to take that $10,000 risk. But the ACA is a heck of a lot better than where we were 2 years ago. At least if I pay my premiums, I will be covered and can't be cancelled, which kind of seems like the textbook definition of "insurance" in the first place.

8. Dang, I used every penny for therapy
My insurance only covers 70%.
And not only that, it reduced my income so every year I got a refund.
My company sucks tho making it seem like it was because of HCA. I'm suprised they didn't try and make a bigger point of this earlier before the election.
Thanks for the link!

6. This is my understanding
This precedes the Healthcare affordability act. In fact, some earlier versions supposedly killed it altogether.
Personally, the "free screenings" will not cover the loss in tax free flex spending. However, if something were done to the pharmaceuticals or in making sure insurance threw a broader coverage down for some things, then it would not be as important.

93 point boutique Cabernet
A fantastic Cabernet from Spring Mountain. Limited.
previous vintage 93 Points Robert Parker: "Deep, dense and rich, the Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain oozes with character and sheer personality. Black fruit, tobacco, incense and crushed rocks are some of the many nuances that unfold as the wine sits in the glass. Tar, asphalt and licorice are layered into the sinewy, powerful finish. The 2010 is a fascinating and totally intriguing Cabernet. The blend is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024."
Barnett Vineyards is located off of the narrow windy Spring Mountain Road which connects Napa and Sonoma Counties – about 1.5 miles in. This is a small estate winery (founded in 1983 by Hal & Fiona Barnett) located on very steep hillsides with slopes up to 35%! Their original intent was never to build a winery but rather to have a weekend private getaway location from San Francisco. For a fairly small production they make a wide variety of wines – as of our latest visit, 11 different wines are made here. They are strong believers in unique terroir sites and will source fruit from a variety of locations (not necessarily within Napa) based on where specific varietals grow best.
$ 12.99
A fantastic red from Bedrock winemaker Morgan-Twain Peterson, one of the hottest young winemakers in California.
90 Points Robert Parker "Best Buy": "A Mediterranean blend of Zinfandel, Carignan, Alicante Bouchet, Syrah and assorted mixed blacks fermented with native yeasts and aged in primarily neutral containers (15% in new French oak), it is a California version of a high-class Cotes du Rhone. Lots of berry fruit intermixed with lavender, pepper and meaty black cherry and black currant flavors emerge from this satisfying, round, expansive, generous red. An outstanding, killer value that should provide pleasure over the next 1-2 years. If there is a better value in California wine, I would like to know about it."
....Morgan Twain-Peterson is one of the most impressive young winemakers I have ever met, and it's not just because he grew up the son of a famous producer. Making wines at this level requires talent, passion, hard work and a great palate, none of which is easily inherited. Along with Mike Officer of Carlisle, Twain-Peterson is on a mission to rediscover what he calls California's old-vine "heritage" vineyards. These historic sites planted by California's early immigrants, often home to unknown field blends, remain some of the most fascinating vineyards in California. Officer and Twain-Peterson were tired of seeing these old sites gobbled up by industrial-scale wineries, so they decided to do something about it. Bravo."

Introducing Orin Swift's delicious new red from France: Locations "F"!
F-4 is Orin Swift's French Red Wine made from the finest varietals and locations throughout France. Grenache from the Roussillon, Syrah from the Rhone, and assorted Bordeaux varietals have been sensibly blended in an original style that showcases the best of what this historic land has to offer. They come together to form yet another delicious red blend from this cult producer of The Prisoner red. Try this great new release while it's still available.
Tasting Notes: Opaque with ruby accents, the wine is intensely perfumed with aromas of vivid berry, warm spice, plum, kirsch, lavender and subtle oak nuances. The entry is juicy and penetrating with rich flavors of ripe blackberry, racy currant and blueberry that generously coat the palate. Easy drinking, the finish is long and clean with just the right amount of polished tannins to keep the fruit in focus. Extremely well-balanced, this delicious red is ready to open and drink now.

Introducing Orin Swift's delicious new red from Italy: Locations "I"!
2011 marks the first vintage of Orin Swift's Italian Red Wine made from the finest varietals and locations throughout Italy: a blend of Negroamaro, Nero D'Avolo, Barbera and native varietals from Puglia blended in an original style that showcases the best of what this historic land has to offer. They come together to form yet another delicious red blend from this cult producer of The Prisoner red. Try this great new release while it's still available.
Tasting Notes: Revealing an attractive color spectrum of crimson and scarlet with a slight magenta band on the rim, the wine explodes. with aromas of macerated raspberries, dried lavender, plum tart, and toasty accents. The palate is imediately hit with super lush flavors of lush berries and spice, supported with a dense core that has just the right amount of characteristic acidity. The tannins are already velvety and soft which provide for a lingering finish with hints of minerality and some herbal notes.

The trip I took was an Iceland Express Tour and was well managed with our driver/guide working hard for us giving excellent information and making sure we saw everything. . Meals are expensive in Iceland so take advantage of the market stops and pick up your own food . Cabins have good kitchens and common areas. Bring GOOD rain gear (Gortex works well) The weather is very changeable in Iceland.
Review submitted 07 Jul 2017
Although just a short trip,one of my favourite yet! Iceland blew me away with its natural beauty, fascinating culture and almost Utopian society. The trip was very well organised, ran very smoothly with some excellent included and extra activities and the accommodation was much better than I expected. Magnus, our guide was fantastic - informative, patient and a very interesting guy - he really made the trip. OK, yes, it is very expensive but as long as one is prepared for that then it isn't really an issue. I'd recommend booking an extra day in Reykjavik as there's so more to see than is included on the tour but the tour gives a good flavour of the city. A completely brilliant trip. I actually didn't want to leave.....

The goal is to generate over 320,000 MWh of energy annually, enough to power over 29,000 homes in the US a year, and to find ways to increase the energy efficiency of its equipment and facilities. This comes after announcing in 2014 that AWS strived to someday achieve 100% renewable energy usage for its global Cloud infrastructure footprint. By the end of 2016, they will have reached 40% of renewable energy globally.

Personal Information
abeylin replied to abeylin's topic in Game Design and TheoryThat is really good input, thank you all. To clarify: I basically am looking at it as a hearthstone-type encounter. You would be paired up with a stranger (or a friend) and play a game, after which point it's over. However prompting 'would you like to play another match?' would probably work great ... so that people can have a rematch if they both choose to. The reason I'm thinking to work within time bounds is so that the game is manageable as a quick game before sleep or before work, or on a break. There might be some in-between activity in game, sort of like hearthstone has of crafting cards and making decks - truthfully the game is very much inspired by hearthstone (without cards though). Aiming for casual, not hard core play, but i'd like to have features which would give hardcore players advantage.
abeylin posted a topic in Game Design and TheoryI am working on a concept for now of a PvP game which would be limited to phones and possibly tablets. The game will pair two people for a real-time game. I am not sure if the game is similar to anything in particular, i'm modeling it after two styles - tower defense and card games. My question is how long should the game take - my gut feeling is it shouldn't be over 5 minutes, perhaps 4 minutes on average?. This would include all rounds, though I am trying to not have rounds. Game won't be fixed to that amount of time, but I need to have an average time in mind to figure out how gameplay should work.
abeylin replied to abeylin's topic in Games Business and LawThank you, Frob
abeylin posted a topic in Games Business and LawHi, I have a question about attribution license, for example https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/ In an android game, where exactly do I need to provide credit for the assets (pretty much all the assets I have use this license). For now I have a screen in game where all of the assets are listed along with links to where I got them from. I also have a website for the game, where all the assets are listed with same links. I have not seen other games list assets in-game, so is it enough to just list them on website? and could I remove the screen from game? I am not sure if it looks good to have a huge list (few screens full) of assets. Thanks.
abeylin replied to abeylin's topic in Your AnnouncementsHi Guys, I just added a Halloween theme to the game, please check it out. The video is not the best quality, but you can get a sense - there's a ghost and skeleton in the "Halloween theme". [media]http://youtu.be/nFUKvJ2c1S4[/media] It would really help me if I get some constructive criticism. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mildspring.maze
abeylin replied to jusa's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI want UML to work, but I haven't really seen it work. I haven't ever tried it for solo projects.
abeylin replied to Madolite's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingIn AAA games performance is important, so C++/C will have to be the answer for low level stuff. Big studios already have people working there who are experts in the language, and they have code from prior projects that has to be maintained, and can be reused. There would have to be some very significant reason (besides making employees work long hours) for changing language. People who are working from home in spare time have a very good reason to compare time that it takes to write a game based on language they choose. For example I started with plain google android SDK, and spent a lot of time making a very poor engine for 3 games I did in it. Then I moved to Corona engine ... it was way better than what I wrote. Now I'm on Unity (I don't want to compare them, but my preference is with Unity at this point). Game engines save you time, so if you're coding an engine, then you shouldn't really worry if it will take longer in Java or C, because you can just get a better engine now (unless you're expert in engines, then maybe you'll make a better more specialized engine). In general, the more high-level code you have, the less time you'll spend coding. For example it's a lot easier to make a list in C#, than in C, just because there's no standard structure for list in C (yes, there's in C++, but not in C I believe). Also if you don't have to worry about memory management, it means you will never spend time debugging a bug related to it. I'm using C# in Unity, and very happy with it. Compared to how long things took me in Java in Android SDK, there's a huge difference. I don't think the difference is in C# vs Java, but rather my own engine vs. Unity (most time in Unity is spent looking up which function is appropriate, but they work very well once I find the one I need).
abeylin replied to flawless_cowboy's topic in For BeginnersMy recommendation would be to go through unity tutorials, I recently made a game in Unity - the tutorials are awesome. The tutorials will show you how to structure code, and how to get things working, I think they are a lot better than just opening someone's project and poking around. In my opinion, the best thing is to go through few tutorials in sequence and implement everything they are talking about - keep pausing youtube tutorial and implement what they are teaching, even if you're not interested just in case it teaches something you'll need in the future. If you get tired of sequential tutorials you will probably already have enough information about how to start on a project, then you can look for specialized tutorials for your specific project. That's basically what I was doing, I coded a first person maze (you can look through my post history to see it if you'd like).
abeylin posted a topic in Your AnnouncementsMaze in first person https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mildspring.maze Built in Unity3D - in the past I've built a game in Corona SDK and Google's Android SDK (3 games) All levels are dynamically generated for unlimited play. Every time you play, you will get a different maze. You have unlimited time to finish each level. But, finishing the maze quickly will grant you stars. Each new level offers a bigger/tougher maze. Find the key to unlock the gate. If you ever feel stuck, use the path-arrow button to get arrows on the floor showing you the way. A path-arrow is awarded for each new level, spend them wisely as the game gets harder with each level. No Ads in Maze Unlimited. In-App Purchases let you buy more path-arrows - 3 at a time. You do not need these to finish the game. If you feel stuck, you can exit the level and try again in a newly generated maze. Can you be the first one to beat the first 60 levels of Maze Unlimited? Add a comment and send us a screenshot so we can post your name on our blog and add more levels for everyone!

abeylin posted a topic in Your AnnouncementsHi, I'd like to introduce a new game. This is my first game in Corona, previously I used android sdk. This is a physics based game. There are three pairs of balls (6 balls total), and you are supposed to match them by color. It would help me a lot if I could get some feedback. You can post here, or private message me, whatever. Here it is in google store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mildspring.BouncyMatch This is what it looks like (the brown rectangles rotate in game and push balls around)
abeylin replied to abeylin's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHi, I didn't go through links yet, but they are greately appreciated. The paths will not be in terms of any function. The paths are going to represent roads from one point to another. During level creation, I'd define them as makes sense for the level.
abeylin posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI am wondering how the game https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.namcowireless.flightcontrol&hl=en makes planes follow the path drawn by player. Does anyone know of a simple algorithm to do this? I am thinking of a game where there are predefined paths, which is kind of similar to the game I linked, but more like this: So I want to go from one box to another, but following the paths. Please help. The paths would not be dynamic in my game. edit (not sure if it's better to add post or update original, so doing both): The paths will not be in terms of any function. The paths are going to represent roads from one point to another. During level creation, I'd define them as makes sense for the level.
abeylin replied to abeylin's topic in Games Business and LawThank you for your input, I'm figuring out which idea to use for a next game, and I just don't feel I can seriously go up and talk to an actual company without a successful track record (or even a single successful game actually). So I'll stay away from this idea for now.
abeylin posted a topic in Games Business and LawLets say I need a truck for a game. Is it legal for me to buy a toy truck, take a picture of it, possibly manipulate it to fit game, and use that image in game? Same question for toy soldiers.
abeylin posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI am looking at 3 SDK's for cross-platform (iOS and Android) development. So far narrowed it down to: http://www.coronalabs.com/products/corona-sdk/ http://giderosmobile.com/ http://getmoai.com/moai-faqs.html What I'm looking for is this: 1 - works for iOS + Android 2 - free as long as I don't make money - if I have to pay when app makes money, that's fine. So for example Corona's 100k revenue limit on free version sounds fine 3 - splash screen is ok 4 - language doesn't matter, they all seem to be LUA, but it's not very relevant, I would just like to write code once instead of multiple times, and also I'd like to make use of ready packages, than coding everything from scratch. I believe I can chose from any of those 3 based on my requirements. Perhaps there are other differences I should worry about? Is one platform has more bugs than another? Is one getting more support, and others are no longer in development? Any suggestions which one to pick? or perhaps there are more than just those 3?

Colby Ragland is going to provide someone with immediate help at the offensive tackle position.
The 6'6, 270lb tackle played both offensive and defensive tackle in high school, and is being recruited on the offensive side now. He was one of close to 200 prospects on campus for USM's Elite Camp Saturday, and after the camp he picked up some good news.
"I was invited to the Elite Camp Friday and I had the pleasure of working out with Coach Losey and Coach Stork, doing drills and learning techniques because I just transitioned from D-Line to O-Line in the Spring," Ragland explained.
"After the camp, I had a chance to talk to Coach Hopson who I had already knew from when he was at Alcorn. He and Coach Losey had great things to say about me. I think they noticed that I have very good footwork and I have a lot of length and that I am coachable.
"They told me that I looked good and comfortable at Left Tackle. They didn't offer me on the spot but they told me that they would call me and surely enough Saturday I got the call from Coach Pollard letting me know that I had been offered."
The news was received well as Ragland was hoping for an in-state offer.
"It felt so good to have an offer from my state," he added. "I love Southern Miss. I didn't get a chance to see the entire campus but I did get to see the athletic facilities and they are really nice."
Ragland also holds offers from UAB, Troy, and Louisiana Lafayette at this time. He is a December grad and will enroll in January.

Airports have been successfully audited since 2003
-Works Ministry says in response to Benn's statement
The Ministry of Public Works yesterday said that a statement by Minister Robeson Benn that Guyana's airports are not meeting security standards was his personal perspective and since 2003, the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri has been successfully audited by international agencies.
On Tuesday, a ministry press statement quoted Benn as saying that Guyana's international airports, the CJIA and the Ogle International Airport "are not meeting the minimum standards" on security.
The ministry had reported that Benn told the 25 plus participants that a dispassionate review of the airports' (CJIA and Ogle) security status indicates that "we are not meeting the minimum standards."
In another press release yesterday to "clarify" Benn's statement, the Ministry said that "the perspective he was making reference to,
was his personal expectation of the security staff to raise the standard of service delivered to the passengers and users of the airports."
According to the release, Benn was challenging participants to be more industrious when executing their duties, since passengers rely on them to be safe and secure.
The ministry said that since 2003, the CJIA has been successfully audited by the Guyana Civil Avia-tion Authority (GCAA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) on an annual basis. Likewise, the Ogle International Airport is also audited by the GCAA for compliance with international standards on an annual basis, it asserted.
In its statement on Tuesday, the ministry had quoted Benn as saying at the opening ceremony for the Airport Risk Mitigation workshop that "it is important that we lift the security profile at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport and Ogle Aerodrome."
Over the years, there have been numerous attempts to smuggle drugs inclusive of cocaine and marijuana to both overseas and interior locations at the two airports.
In May, two airport loaders as well as a police dog handler, accused of concealing cocaine in the vent of the luggage hold of an outgoing Caribbean Airlines flight, were remanded to prison after being charged with narcotics possession for trafficking. The cocaine amounted to 2.2 kilos. There have been many other cases.

View the full range Polypropylene Strapping Equipment
800m of 12mm polypropylene strapping with 200 grip fast buckles.
The use of polypropylene strapping is increasing in packing environments and this handy kit contains everything that is required. The polypropylene strapping and buckle kit features a handy carrying handle so that it can easily be moved to wherever it is needed. The whole box weighs just 3.5 kg when it is full, so there are few manual handling issues associated with this unit. For those workplaces that have a sustainability policy, the box is fully recyclable when it is empty.
Using the kit is very easy and those that try it will find that it saves having to use any tools. The strapping included in the pack is 800 metres long and 12 mm wide. There are also 200 buckles included in the pack. The dispenser style of the pack makes it very easy to use and is ideal for making the packing process easier.
Portable kits such as this are important in the workplace when packing items. Not everything can be moved to a packing table or other area easily, particularly if the items are being packed onto a pallet which is not very mobile. Being able to move packing materials around is essential and it can help to improve efficiency in the long-term.
We have very little requirement for strapping so this small all-in-one kit was perfect for us to keep on an 'as and when' basis. We use for any returns we have that go back on a pallet and need the additional security.

Washington Nov 7, 2011
In a galaxy, far, far away, there is a mathematical chance that alien life exists -- but the White House says it has no evidence that extraterrestrials have ever tried to contact humans. In a blow to conspiracy theorists everywhere, a senior Barack Obama administration official also says there is also no credible information to suggest evidence of alien life is being kept from the public. The unusual comment was contained in a response to several petitions lodged on a White House website by a senior space policy and communications official Phil Larson. "The US government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race," Larson wrote. "In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye." Larson however said that the possibility of extraterrestrial life is discussed and explored, including several NASA projects. Despite denying hopes for proof of alien life, Larson did not rule out the idea that it could exist. "Many scientists and mathematicians have ... come to the conclusion that the odds are pretty high that somewhere among the trillions and trillions of stars in the universe there is a planet other than ours that is home to life." "Many have also noted, however, that the odds of us making contact with any of them -- especially any intelligent ones -- are extremely small, given the distances involved. "But that's all statistics and speculation. The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth." The statement was issued in response to two petitions, which garnered a collective 17,000 signatures, calling on the government to disclose knowledge or extraterrestrial beings and contact with them. The White House has started a new initiative called "We the People" by allowing people to submit petitions to their government, and pledged to respond to some that get a significant following. One of the petitions was lodged by the Paradigm Research Group, and called on President Obama to "formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race and immediately release into the public domain all files from all agencies and military services relevant to this phenomenon." It claimed that hundreds of military and government agencies had testified to the existence of an extraterrestrial presence, and that polls showed many Americans did not believe the government was telling the truth on the issue. The mission of the Paradigm Research Group works to expose what it says is a "truth embargo" by the government on extraterrestrial life.
