The visitors became only the second team to beat la Real at home this season.
Los Colchoneros started the game brightly and they tried to retain possession and pass the ball around, but were struggling to create any chances in front of Claudio Bravo's goal. The hosts, however, slowly began to pick up momentum and were looking increasingly dangerous on the break.
The logical happened in the 12th minute when Llorente opened the scoring from close range after some great work from no other than Antoine Griezmann on the left wing. Tomas Ujfalusi, however, seemed to be the last man to play with the ball, but the goal was given to the striker.
La Real had a glorious opportunity to double their lead in the 18th minute, but the usually reliable Llorente failed to score from close range at the far post, following a wonderful cross by Xabi Prieto. The persistent onslaught from the hosts finally woke up the visitors and they started throwing bodies forward in search of an equaliser.
First Tomas Ujfalusi saw a header blocked by Bravo at the near post, following a corner on the left in the 24th minute and ten minutes later Sergio Aguero blasted a powerful shot just wide of la Real's goal.
In the waning minutes of the first half Mario Suarez put a header from just outside the six-yard box over the bar, and soon after Tiago was denied a wonderful goal by Bravo and the hosts entered the break with a tender lead.
The tempo of the game somewhat dropped after the restart and neither team seemed willing to take too much risks. Still, there was plenty of action at both end of the pitch as the fixture was far from over.
Griezmann saw a wonderful shot from the left side of the box saved by David De Gea, following a fast break in the 49th minute, and Tiago put his bicycle kick from inside the penalty area fly over the bar in the subsequent attack. Xabi Prieto blasted a powerful drive high ten minute later as the hosts were pushing for a second goal.
Out of nowhere Los Colchoneros drew the game level and it was no other than Forlan who got the vital strike in the 71st minute. Jose Antonios Reyes set his team on the counter with a delightful 40-yard dipping pass to release Aguero on the right wing, the Argentinian made his way into the box past Mikel Gonzalez and teed it up for the Uruguayan, who had no trouble finishing into the net from close range.
The comeback was completed eight minutes later when Aguero smashed home from close range after being allegedly offside in the build-up to the goal. Aguero completed his brace three minutes later with a fine finish in the top right corner, following a fast counter attack.
A stunning long-range goal from Rivas gave the game a dramatic ending, before Simao put the game to bed with a penalty concede by Mikel Gonzalez in injury time to secure Atleti's win.
Following tonight's result, Atletico Madrid are sixth in the standings, while Real Sociedad are ninth. La Real's next league game is a visit to Sporting de Gijon on the 28th November, while Los Colchoneros host Espanyol a day earlier.

I get lots of comments on my hair and I have to say pics may be decieving I had been feeling like it was so dry and coarse. About a month ago I was passing by a TK Maxx and my aunty had told me that they now stock a lot of TIGI hair products. It was then I purchased TIGI 'Heashot Heavenly Hydrating' shampoo. I decided I would start with the shampoo to see if I like it before purchasing the conditioner..[That and also I have so many condiitoners I still need to use up]
I have been using this shampoo for about 3-4 weeks now and I have noticed a real difference. I love that this shampoo is 750 ML and in a pump format. It's so much easier to use as I tend to get a bit happy when squeezing shampoo out of a bottle. This particular one is for dry and damaged hair, I feel it is necessary to buy a shampoo that targets this as I often use heat when styling my hair and it can really dry it out. I wash my hair every other day, but since using this shampoo I can allow myself an extra day, without it getting greasy [That can only be a good thing right!?]
It has Rose hips and Ginseng extracts in it that contribute to keeping hair looking and feeling healthy, I guess it must be working because the condition of my hair has definitely improved. The only thing I was unsure about was the minty smell, which after a few weeks has sort of grown on me. I am using this with Herbal essences Hello Hydration coconut conditioner so my hair doesn't end up smelling too bad! In conjunction with these two I am still using my Bumble and Bumble 'Creme de Coco; mask about once a week, you can read my full review on this amazing mask HERE
This shampoo was £9.99 which I think is great for the amount of product, it retails between £15-£20, so you end up saving quite a bit. Tigi products are used in quite a lot of salons. I think i may have to go back and re purchase some more TIGI products as I am really happy with the results at the discounted price.
Have any of you used TIGI products? Do any of you purchase hair/beauty products at TK MAXX? I have to say they have quite a lot, I was pleasantly suprised!

The day that I was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I had the doctor write it down for me on a piece of paper. I could barely pronounce it, yet alone spell it.
"What exactly is it?" I asked the rheumatologist fearfully. I was 24 years old and scared shitless.
Instead of taking the time to explain, he told me to go online (AOL and dial-up back in 1999) and do some research on my own.
"Don't worry, it isn't going to kill you," he said encouragingly, ushering me quickly out the door.
I was in a daze. My ex was sitting in the waiting room with our daughter, who ran over to me in delight as soon as she saw me. I scooped her up into my arms, holding her warm toddler body close to me.
"Well?" he asked. "What'd they say is wrong with you?" He had been skeptical, calling me nuts and telling me that I was just imagining things.
"Fibro something." I showed him the piece of paper, while tears started to sting my eyes.
"I've never fucking heard of it," he proclaimed without an ounce of sympathy in his voice. "Well, at least now you can apply for disability."
To him, my newly identified illness was a possible cash cow. He didn't offer me any sort of comfort, as he was incapable of showing empathy. (Yeah, I was with this man for 6 years of my life.)
As soon as we arrived home, I went online to find out more about this mysterious syndrome. It wasn't upgraded to an actual real disease until the fall of 2015, which pleased me greatly for reasons that I find difficult to explain.
Here's a quick rudimentary rundown on what fibromyalgia is, in case you don't have any idea.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a medical condition characterised by chronic widespread pain and a heightened pain response to pressure. Other symptoms include feeling tired to a degree that normal activities are affected, sleep problems, and troubles with memory. Some people also report restless legs syndrome, bowel or bladder problems, numbness and tingling, and sensitivity to noise, lights or temperature. Fibromyalgia is frequently associated with depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder. – Thanks, Wikipedia
I did end up applying for disability, although I was denied within 3 months. I didn't even attempt to dispute it, which really pissed off my ex. But then again, he was always in a perpetual state of pissed off-ness, so that was nothing new to me.
You see, I wasn't disabled back then. It was just noticeable enough for me to realize that something was amiss. I was a watered down version of my prior self, after having given birth to my daughter, which was a traumatic experience that had triggered my initial symptoms.
In the beginning, it was a mild case of fibromyalgia that didn't really interfere with my ability to function like a healthy person. I had my bad days, but it was only a slight pain in the ass, like having a minor flu bug for a day or two. Any pain that I happened to experience was easily wiped away with an 800 mg ibuprofen.
I basically just felt like hot garbage now and then.
After I traded my ex in for beautiful freedom, I had no other choice but to work full-time to support my daughter. I became a single mother overnight. I'm ashamed to say that my daughter learned how to use the microwave at the age of 5 because after work, mommy sometimes needed a nap.
"Mommy, how long should I microwave this?"
"Um…130 seconds."
She never complained, just warmed up her can of beefaroni and watched Pokemon.
I never told my employers or coworkers that I had fibromyalgia. I was determined to not let it keep me down, because fuck that noise. They also didn't know that I had depression and anxiety.
I didn't know yet that I had PTSD from living with a monster.
When I first met my husband, I didn't even tell him until at least 3 years into our relationship. As usual, when I would finally feel comfortable enough to mention it to someone, he gave me a bewildered look.
"Fibro what?"
"Eh, go look it up on the computer. It's spelled F I B R O M Y A L G I A."
I couldn't be bothered with trying to explain it, because it wasn't a big deal.
Until it became a big deal. Actually, a tremendous deal. Massive, in fact.
I was in so much pain last night that I wanted to scream and punch something. (I should make a punching bag that looks like my ex.) I took two of my tramadol and wished in vain for a bag of weed, which continues to remain elusive. It's proving to be impossible for me to find a reliable source, which is a crying shame. It really does help.
If I had known that this disease would become such a menace to my life on that day so long ago, when that disinterested doctor finally gave a name to what was wrong with me, I wonder if I would have taken better care of myself.
Oh good, kale is on sale this week.

Big business problems. Solved by Equal Experts.
Who is Equal Experts?
We're an international community of highly-skilled, highly experienced software consultants, hard at work in the UK, Canada, Portugal, India, and Australia.
And now we're in New York.
Why we're different
We carefully hand-pick our consultants based on their expertise and their ability to collaborate. They typically boast at least a decade of diverse, proven commercial experience.
Time and time again, this approach delivers high-quality, high-value software for our clients. And we can deliver it faster than more traditional, hierarchical consultancies.
Pick a problem. Learn how we helped.
Equal Experts has deep experience of facilitating organisational change, allowing our clients to face the challenges of the digital age. Even when it's not the core aim of an project, we pride ourselves on helping clients to improve their own ability to deliver software.
The clearest example of this is one of our engagements with a UK Government client. We helped to design, deliver, maintain and build upon an award-winning platform that now underpins the work of around 50 agile teams, spread across the UK. These teams release live updates to the platform many times each day – all in a department where just one or two releases per year were the norm, just a few short years ago.
The result: a truly agile, digital-first culture in the heart of Government.
One of our Government clients had a suite of legacy applications sitting on expensive physical hardware, set up to cater for spikes in traffic that occur just once or twice a year. The expense could no longer be excused, but the applications still needed to be supported; what to do?
Equal Experts consultants had the answer. Our team sliced up the legacy application code and soon had a proof of concept up and running in the cloud – a far more cost-effective and scalable way to support these services. We're now working to get all the services up and running.
The result: major cost savings, with zero impact to customers
One of our UK Government clients faces a huge annual spike in online traffic as the tax self-assessment deadline looms large in the minds of the public. This is a system that is too important to fail, and the amount of traffic the platform serves is increasing year-on-year as digital channels become the first choice for an ever-increasing proportion of customers.
To prepare for the peak period in 2016, Equal Experts consultants worked with the client to implement a multi-active environment, enabling the system to seamlessly route traffic across two different cloud providers (rather than one, as in previous years). This increased the resilience of the service and ensured there was ample capacity at all times.
The result: Interruption-free, 24/7 uptime at a crucial moment
Keeping customers happy and loyal is an age-old challenge for marketers. We've helped one of the UK's leading cellphone networks – do just that, via native mobile apps for its loyalty program. The apps provide customers with slick access to exclusive offers, rewards and competitions.
Our initial work included the algorithms that match offers to users, as well as the apps themselves. This soon progressed to a schedule of regular feature improvements. The app is highly popular with users on both Android and iOS (where it's the only loyalty app to rate 5 stars in the UK App Store).
The result: happy customers, leaving thousands of 5-star reviews
When a major delivery program was in danger of missing its crucial deadline, a telecoms giant called in Equal Experts (a bit like the A-Team, only with laptops instead of a van). Our task – to ensure its new e-commerce platform rolled out in time for the peak selling period over the holiday season.
Working with the delivery team and wider stakeholders, we led an intensive series of workshops to determine which aspects of the project were must-haves. By agreeing to de-scope non-essential features and re-prioritizing the workload, we were able to kickstart fresh momentum and ensure the platform's core features were live in time for the holiday sales bonanza (with the rest following soon after).
The result: deadline met, more online orders made – and a happy client.

I love it when we get to share good news!
You have all been so wonderful in donating money and snowsuits to the Clothes For Kids campaign and we are now able to share that we have exceeded our goal.
Over $100,892 was raised during the campaign, which means over 2000 children in need have received new snowsuits.
This was the 28th year for Corus Entertainment Kingston's Clothes For Kids campaign and we're so thankful for all the support.
Some of the people who stepped up were Cindy and Peter, a couple who got married in November and asked guests to donate snowsuits in lieu of gifts; local artist Vanessa who donated the proceeds from her artwork; students Dylan and Evan who invited friends to bring snowsuits to their birthday party instead of gifts; and the 7th grade class at La Salle who raised money by selling grilled cheese sandwiches.
Thank you to everyone who donated, thank you to everyone volunteered their time, and a MASSIVE thank you to our Clothes For Kids campaign coordinator Maria Sadowy.
Your generosity and support has made it possible for us to ensure all the kids in Kingston are warm this winter with snowsuits.

Hillforts are the best known and the most beautiful archaeological monuments in Lithuania. Their total number approaches one thousand. Lithuania has more hillforts, to which this atlas is devoted, than our neighbouring countries.
The position and structure of hillforts
Hillforts, as well as the other archaeological monuments left by the past generations, emerged, developed and were abandoned along with other contemporary objects interconnected in terms of function. All this is called a complex of archaeological monuments. It is an accumulation of contemporary objects of different functions, left or used by one community. Hillforts are usually the major element in the whole complex of archaeological monuments.
The concept of "hillfort" is rather broad from both the territorial and the chronological point of view. The present look of hillforts can hardly display common features. That is the consequence of the current condition of hillforts. All the hillforts, which have survived until today, have been damaged by various natural and human forces. With reference to the current level of our knowledge of hillforts and on the basis of the collected data, hillforts are identified as relief formations featuring close type external earth fortifications with traces of the activities of the people who once constructed them. The very name of the "hillfort" is rather old and originates from the times when the main elements of the wooden castle erected on top of the hillfort were earth ramparts. In the Lithuanian language the word "pilis" (castle) originates from the word "pilti" (pile, cast).
A complex of archaeological monuments with a hillfort in the centre comprises foreworks, baileys, foot settlements, old cemeteries, ritual places, old manufacturing sites, roads, etc., located within the distance of 1 km of the hillfort. The hillfort, as a defensive facility, contains two basic elements, i.e. the fortified locus itself and its fortifications. The fortified locus is the levelled summit of the hilltop. It was arranged on the summit of a mound. The levelled summit was enclosed by earth fortifications, which include ramparts, ditches, terraces and slopes, as well as wood fortifications, which include various fences, barriers, towers and walls. Only earth fortifications have survived until today. They usually consisted of several lines. Apart from the main rampart and ditch there used to be one or a few lines of additional smaller ramparts and shallow ditches.
The hillfort was subjoined by further three constituent parts of the archaeological complex: foot settlements, foreworks and baileys. Foot settlements, which were attached to the majority of hillforts, are uncovered most often. Foreworks and baileys are scarce satellites of hillforts, characteristic exceptionally of the latest hillforts, i.e. those dated to the 13th – beginning of the 15th centuries.
The history of investigation and restitution of hillforts
Comprehension of hillforts is impossible without their investigion. Two directions of investigations can be singled out, namely surveys of hillforts and archaeological excavations. During surveys information is collected about the location of the hillfort, its appearance, finds, previous references in sources and literature as well as the verbal tradition, the site is photographed and in some cases its plan is drafted. An excavated hillfort is identified as a hillfort in which excavation of an area of no less than 1sq.m. yields fixed material about stratigraphy and finds. By 2005, 184 hillforts were excavated in Lithuania, of which only the hillfort of Šeimyniškėliai was fully investigated during 16 excavation seasons (1990–2005).
Hillforts started to attract more attention in the first half of the 19th century (Pranciškus Vilčinskis, Frédéric Dubois de Montepereux). Diverse data on Lithuanian hillforts were presented at the end of the 19th century by Fiodor Pokrovskij. In 1909 Juozapas Radziukynas published the first Lithuanian booklet devoted to hillforts. From 1908 to 1913 Ludwik Krzywicki conducted extensive excavations of 7 hillforts. C 1925 Petras Tarasenka prepared the first register of Lithuanian hillforts. From 1931 to 1934 General Vladas Nagevičius carried out thorough excavations at Apuolė and Įpiltis hillforts and made coss – sections of their ramparts. In the post – war period, investigations of hillforts were continued by Pranas Kulikauskas and Regina Volkaitė-Kulikauskienė. All the Lithuanian hillforts were then surveyed and the data were published in the 2nd volume of the "Archaeological Atlass of the Lithuanian SSR" issued in 1975. After the restoration of the independence of Lithuania, monument – protection – type investigations of hillforts became more frequent and a deeper analysis was made of the separate groups of finds thereof.
The need for protection of hillforts arose in the beginning of the 20th century and began to materialise only in the thirties. First of all, an attempt was made to protect them against the devastating anthropogenic factors, i.e. erosions caused by ploughing, digging, constructions and flows of visitors. In the fifties and sixties, hillforts, exposed to the threat of devastation, were just investigated and left to their fate. From the beginning of the seventies, real efforts to rescue hillforts were made. Individual significant hillforts were straightened up until the last decade of the 20th century. In 1993, the Department for Protection of Cultural Values launched an action program aimed at rescuing hillforts demolished by natural forces. Differentiation of rescuing works started: badly damaged hillforts of minor significance were measured and fully investigated, at hillforts, which were better preserved, rescuing works were co – ordinated with investigation of sections affected by corosion, and in some cases the work was restricted to anticorosion fortification of the slopes. In the result of these undertakings, a number of hillforts were straigtened up and adjusted for visitors.
Development of hillforts
The Lithuanian hillforts represent just a small part of the gigantic assemblage of prehistoric fortifications, which were widespread in the forest and forest – steppe zone all over Europe in the prehistoric and early historic times. The first fortifications appeared in the Near East 10–9 thousand years ago. In Europe, they are known since the Neolithic. The most famous are the fortifications of the Celts and the Scythians. In the European forest zone, the earliest fortifications developed from fortified Neolithic settlements. In Lithuania, the earliest hillforts date from the 1st millennium BC. They can be found in both eastern and western Lithuania. The earliest east Lithuanian hillforts belong to the Brushed Pottery culture, which existed from the turn of the 2nd – 1st millennium BC until the 2nd century. With reference to fortifications, several types of hillforts of the Brushed Pottery Culture can be singled out. These include small hillforts on top of mounds without evident fortifications, big hillforts without evident fortifications, hillforts reinforced by ramparts along the edges of the levelled hilltop and small hillforts with round – shaped levelled hilltops, enclosed with 2–3 rings of fortifications. The main traits of hillforts of the Brushed Pottery Culture are reiterated at hillforts located in other places of Lithuania.
At the turn of the 2nd – 3rd century, the Brushed Pottery Culture disappeared and most of its hillforts declined while some remained inhabited for a while. The overall number of hillforts decreased, but their fortifications underwent a fast development and were further strengthened. The layers of hillforts reveal remnants of burnt wooden defence barriers and three – edged arrowheads associated with nomads. In southern Lithuania, miniature hillforts appeared, their levelled hilltops encircled by a rampart and measuring 10–15 m in diameter. They had adjacent foot settlements covering an area of up to 6 ha. At that time conditions matured for the emergence of refuge type hillforts.
Starting from the 6th century, territories and hillforts of different Baltic tribes can be distinguished in Lithuania. The hillforts of Curonians, who dwelt at the seaside, in northwestern Lithuania and western Latvia, are rather big and substantially fortified. The hillforts of Semigallians, who dwelt in the planes of northern Lithuania and south Latvia, are scarce and somewhat smaller. The Selonians, who dwelt in northeastern Lithuania and southeastern Latvia, have left only a very small number of hillforts with considerable archaic features. In eastern Lithuania, hillforts are scarce but better fortified. Hillforts of central Lithuania are average in size and are most often set up on protuberances of riverbanks. The characteristic feature of Samogitians is coupled hillforts. The Scalvians, who dwelt on both sides of the lower Nemunas in western Lithuania and the northern part of East Prussia, have left scarce but well fortified hillforts. The Yotvingian tribes, which dwelt in southwestern Lithuania (Uþnemunë area), northeastern Poland and northwestern Belarus, have left average size, well fortified hillforts, in which part of the mound was formed by piling. The hillforts of Nadrovians, who dwelt in the southwestern end of Lithuania and the eastern part of East Prussia, are hardly known, their fortifications are not very strong.
The golden age of Lithuanian hillforts is the 13th century – beginning of the 15th century. That was the time of continuous fights against the Order. The names of the majority of wooden castles on hillforts of this period are known from written sources. The 13th century hillforts are less well known. Their characteristic features are feeble fortifications and unlevelled hilltops. The fortifications of the 14th century hillforts are really powerful. Ramparts were constructed of rammed daub and reached 5–7 m in height, while ditches dug behind them were 6–10 m deep. These hillforts often had baileys or foreworks. At that time, hillforts designed for a specific function, unknown in other epochs, appear. The Order brought to Lithuania the motte and bailey type hillforts, which were widely known in western Europe in the 10th – 14th centuries. A few hillforts of this type are known in Lithuania. Most of them are sites of the wooden castles of the Order. The time of decline of wooden castles is not quite clear. Individual wooden castles are mentioned until the middle of the 15th century.
The formation principles of the atlas
The present atlas of Lithuanian hillforts describes all the hillforts, known to the authors by the middle of 2005. They are arranged on the basis of districts and municipalities. Hillforts are described according to a unified system: the atlas indicates their location, orientation, shape and size of the levelled hilltop, measurements of the defensive fortifications (ramparts, ditches, terraces), the steepness and height of slopes, destructions of the hillfort, the present appearance, the basic data about the objects in the complex of the hillfort (foreworks, baileys, foot settlements, cemeteries, etc), the basic data from the investigations of the hillfort, historical facts about the castle erected on the hillfort, the dating of the hillfort, directions how to find it and the main literature about it. The main attention in the descriptions is focussed on the defensive function of hillforts. The basic measurements of defensive facilities are indicated: for ramparts – the height from the levelled hilltop, the width at the base and the height of the external slope; for ditches – the width at the top and the depth; for slopes – the height of the steepened slopes; for terraces – the width. In addition, the coordinates of the hillforts are also indicated (in the WGS 84 system), the level of preservation and the present look is described, data are submitted on the constituent parts of the complex of archaeological monuments and results of investigations. Hillforts are dated on the basis of the available data, directions are given as regards access to them, and the basic literature is indicated. The atlas contains a list of literature about hillforts and a geographical index. The atlas gives a lot of attention to illustrations. A map excerpt is published for every single hillfort, as well as a current photo and an older picture, if it is more informative than the current one. All the known plans of hillforts with contour lines, compiled by 2005 (covering about half of the hillforts) are published. Many people have contributed to this enormous work, and the authors convey their sincere gratitude to all of them.

The "Lion Man" strikes again.
Montgomery County Police said the man they've dubbed the "Lion Man" for wearing a Detroit Lions blue-and-black cap while robbing banks hit another one on Thursday.
Just before noon, police said, the man approached a teller and passed a note at the SunTrust Bank inside a Safeway grocery store at 13814 Outlet Drive in Silver Spring. Montgomery County Police said the man "just left before he got money."
The robber, described as being in his 40s, is also believed to have been involved in robberies at two other Silver Spring banks, a Capital One branch at 11241 Georgia Avenue on Monday and another Capital One at 11261 New Hampshire Avenue on April 21, authorities say.
The FBI said the man hands the tellers a note demanding money and threatening to use a weapon.
He is also wanted in an attempted bank robbery on April 21 at a Wells Fargo bank at 2320 Ashton Street in Baltimore. A bank employee approached him while he was standing in line and he left the bank without incident, according to the FBI.
Surveillance video shows the man also wearing a black jacket, dark pants and dark sunglasses. He has a salt-and-pepper beard.
He's apparently a supporter of the Lions, a team that isn't exactly known for being a big winner. It is perhaps best known for having the second-longest NFL championship drought. Its last championship play: 1957.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Baltimore division of the FBI at 410-265-8080.

The first time i saw a URL was on a TV spot. I was transfixed by the strange string of characters. They were normal letters and punctuation, but their form was not that of "real" words – they had a different, somewhat esoteric meaning which neither i, nor most people were familiar with. In those days personal computing was still a novelty. Computer retail was not dominated by sleek sales-pods, epitomized today by the Mac Store, but warehouses of electronic bric-a-brac, for hobbyists and by hobbyists. I cut my e-teeth in these dusty emporia, first witnessing the functioning of a modem (one of the old coupler modems that connected with a regular telephone receiver, now, too a "retro" technology. It was here that i was told of a revolutionary new mode of communication, which used the hardware of phone lines and PCs to communicate with people from all over the world.
The starry-eyed optimism of those old school geeks was infectious. It must have been 1993 when my family first signed up with an ISP. With the wondrous World-wide Web was at my fingertips I had access to the conversations taking place over BBS, newsgroups and chatrooms. Like many, i was struck by the simultaneous sense of freedom and relative anonymity. On the Internet, no one knew i was a child. I could feel awfully sophisticated as i discussed Clintonian era politics with total strangers. I quickly picked up basic HTML and made various websites on the numerous free hosting sites which then existed. I shared my geeky literary and digital interests with the world, and was exposed to others' interests in return. Like the vast majority of Americans i was already programmed for a media experience, but unlike TV, the Internet made the screens interactive. There was no advertising and very little prepackaged content; just a bunch of enthusiasts sharing things with one another.
Or so it seemed. The WWW is a product of capitalism (as well as the military and academia), and as the Internet grew in popularity, so too did the businesses that profited from it. I knew that much of what i cherished about this medium was on its way out when I first encountered ads, first the innocuous banner ads that appeared at the very top of some websites, then the notorious pop-ups, quickly followed up by pop-unders which still occasionally manage to circumvent my attempts to block them. The small, local dial-up ISPs disappeared, slowly at first, and then quickly with the appearance of expensive broadband networks, maintained by large centralized companies. The spam in my email inbox from small time scammers became overshadowed by the junk CDs that appeared in the physical mailbox courtesy of AOL. Now that people knew there was the potential to make big money on the Internet, it was sure never to be the same. Naturally, following the recognized pattern of capitalist history, there was a minor boom in the late 90's followed by a minor bust, now all but forgotten in the Great Recession.
The ratio of signal to noise has dropped pretty considerably over the years. So has the autonomy. "Social media" are now some of the most trafficked websites, yet i feel more disconnected with those around me than i did in the basement nerddom of my youth. When i first used the Internet it was a toy, a hobby-horse. I could pick it up and put it down at will. Now it is ubiquitous and inescapable. I have to use it for work. I am bombarded with intimate details about the lives of people i have scarcely interacted with. I run into people watching hardcore porn everywhere, especially libraries. I am treated as a social outcast for not having a "smart" phone. As the Internet has become increasing integrated into the social fabric, i have become increasing anti-social.
But is it anti-social to be wary of a medium that comes with apparently inherent socially-debilitating qualities? It's not just the participants in the famously anarchic AnarchistNews.org comments section, the medium itself promotes unaccountable behavior. Social psychologists who have studied this phenomenon call it "online disinhibition". But it doesn't take an academic to realize something is amiss. This society was an unhealthy mess before the advent of the Internet, how much worse will it get as "social media" become the default mode of interaction?
Like it or not, the Internet is not going away, so long as the industrial technological system remains intact. As with any civilized technological system, we are not allowed to opt out. Your house must appear on Google Street View, or you will suffer the consequences. Many employers will check the social network profiles of applicants, some even require it to be submitted with the application. Even the US Postal service, going bankrupt thanks to the Internet, no longer offers paper change of address forms. You will be assimilated.
But the Internet has also been leveraged by Iranian and Arab rebels, Wikileakers, Occupistas, anti-authoritarian hackers and flash robbers. Phone-captured videos of police brutality have brought about waves of resistance. The increasing capabilities and sheer success of file sharing networks seem poised to effectively end the legal pretense of intellectual property altogether. The Internet has been and will continue to be used by groups that are roughly "with us" in one or more dimensions of liberation.
My challenge has become to use of this technology more judiciously. Prolonged Internet usage creates information overload. The human processor can only overclock so much. And as with just about anyone on the Internet at one point or another, i have written some things that i have regretted. But i have also experienced the rush of being part of Web-based projects of which have had tangible, real world results. I look forward to furthering the IRL output.
I like many aspects of the Internet, but i also like many aspects of cutting myself off of mass media. In retrospect, the Internet revolution does seem similar to political revolutions, in that it opened up social space outside of the systems of control. Technological innovation generally can create fissures in the social matrix, but the forces of control can easily buy into these channels, once opened. The challenge is to figure out how to create niches in the social space that we can, in time and in place, and to be ready for these breaks when they occur. No particular technology is neutral, and every technology has an embedded ideology. The Internet runs on its own particular logic, but we have some choices on how to approach it. Be smart, be safe.

Schools will battle it out for honours in the Caddick Year Five Tag Rugby Festival in Wetherby next week.
In conjunction with Wetherby Bulldogs and Caddick Construction and run by Leeds Rugby Foundation, the charity arm of Leeds Rugby, the contest will take place on Wednesday July 3 at 1pm at Wetherby Sports Association on Lodge Lane.
The Caddick Cup is up for grabs following a four-week rugby training programme with local schools - Primrose Lane, Crossley Street, Deighton Gates, St Josephs, St James, Collingham Lady Elizabeth, Bardsey, Lady Elizabeth Hastings and Thorpe Arch Primary School.
Tony Aubrey, Leeds Rhinos Primary School Development Officer, commented: "All the hard work over the past few weeks will really pay off on Wednesday.
"As Leeds Rugby's charity we have an amazing opportunity to truly change lives through sport; the level of engagement and support the teams have received from the staff and children at the ten primary schools has been phenomenal.
"We hope this introduction of rugby league to these students will encourage them to get engaged in the sport more with their local amateur club, Wetherby Bulldogs.
"I urge friends and family of those playing in the tournament to come down to Wetherby Bulldogs, I'd also urge the local community to attend and watch the teams play too."
Andrew Murray, managing director at Caddick Construction, said: "Caddick Construction is delighted to support the hard work of Leeds Rugby Foundation.
"The work the charity does is truly commendable; I hope the children have enjoyed the training and enjoy the tournament."

Soul, beautify thyself
- The INUIT of Alaska, Canada and Greenlandaf Ole Jørgensen
… (Udvid)
When the first edition of SOUL, BEAUTIFY THYSELF appeared, the renowned Danish Keeper of National Antiquities P. V. Glob stated in the Danish newspaper Politiken:We call the hunters, who have lived along the southern coasts of the Arctic Sea for thousands of years, Eskimos - but the name is new. It does not appear until 1611 in a Jesuit priest's account of the people to the north of the Indians. The name he used is 'eskimautsik': those who eat raw meat. To themselves they are INUIT: human beings. This outstanding book deals with those Inuit who live in the coastal areas of Alaska, Canada and Greenland

You know Apple (AAPL) is in for a bumpy quarter when both Gene Munster and Andy Zaky sound bearish notes in advance of the company's fiscal Q2 earnings report -- due out Wednesday after the markets close.
Munster, a senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray, is one of Apple's strongest supporters among the mainstream analysts. And Zaky, who writes a blog called Bullish Cross, is best known for his quarterly analyst smackdowns, in which bloggers who follow the stock challenge the pros to do a better job than they at predicting Apple's numbers.
Neither man has turned negative on Apple. Munster retains his "buy" rating and is sticking to his price target of $180 a share -- one of the highest in the industry. And Zaky, while acknowledging that the Street's consensus estimates for Q2 -- earnings of $1.09 a share on revenue of $7.94 billion -- are "more fairly stated" than they've been in recent quarters, still expects Apple to beat them.
Munster, however, issued a report to clients Tuesday in which he predicts that Apple will miss the Street's consensus on both revenue (by a hair) and earnings (by a mile). See chart:
And while Zaky believes the Street is still too cautious, he has become uncharacteristically pessimistic about Apple's near-term prospects.
"Bullish Cross is readjusting its outlook on Apple to a view that is more commensurate with the increasingly bleak economic environment," he wrote in a post published Monday on Seeking Alpha. "Given the relatively high lack of transparency with regard to iPhone and Macintosh sales going forward, Bullish Cross holds an increasingly cautious view with regard to Apple's fundamentals and earnings estimates in 2009."Given that Munster expects Apple to meet or beat the consensus on Mac, iPhone and iPod sales, it's hard to understand at first glance why his earnings estimate is so low -- $.98 per share vs. the Street's $1.09 and Zaky's $1.19. But in Tuesday's report he explains that he calculated that $.98 using the guidance on gross margins that Apple issued in January (32.5%). Using the gross margins Apple enjoyed in Q1 (34.7%) his EPS estimate jumps to $1.11.
Given how easily Zaky expects Apple to beat the consensus on revenue and EPS -- and how loudly he has railed in the past at analysts too "clueless" to follow Apple's iPhone accounting -- he is surprisingly toned-down this quarter. He has even canceled his quarterly smackdown.
His new "agnostic" attitude toward Apple may have something to do with the fact that Wall Street seems to have come around to his view of the company, driving Apple's shares up 24% in the past month. It may also have something to do with the disclosure at the end of his post:
Disclosure: No Position in Apple.It turns out that Zaky, who has been heavily invested in Apple all this time, has sold his shares.
Apple's quarterly earnings call is scheduled for Wednesday, April 22, at 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT). Tune in here for live coverage and analysis.

This Song Differs From Other Songs. A LOT
Often Trance is about Rave or Ambient, but you miraculously combined those two genres together without any conflict, and it rocks like diamonds. I like the piano, it's so good that it's killing me. It give people the feeling of tranquility and nostalgia, and it's different, it's much better and calmer. Another big hit after Edge Of Faith, I salute to you, the talented music maker.
You surpassed ParagonX9.

A Brief History of the Village Halloween Parade
New Orleans may have its debauchery-fueled Carnival parties during Mardi Gras - where the streets fill with jazz bands, colorful characters, and the intricately-feathered costumes of the Mardi Gras Indians - but New York has a raucous nighttime festival all its own: the Village Halloween Parade.
It's the world's largest Halloween parade, and also shares the distinction of being the United States' only major nighttime parade. The award-winning festival may be relatively obscure to non-New Yorkers, but the 42-year-old event attracts an audience of over 2 million, including some 60,000 participants.
It all started in 1974 when Ralph Lee, a puppeteer and mask maker who lived in Greenwich Village, envisioned a "wandering neighborhood puppet show" for his kids and their friends at Westbeth Artists' Housing. The storied institution was founded in the '60s as a place to provide affordable studios and housing for artists and their families, becoming one of the first examples of repurposed mixed-use industrial buildings.
Over the course of Lee's career, he used his collection of over 100 masks and puppets to stage the very first parade in the courtyard of the Westbeth, before then traipsing along West Street and ending at Washington Square. This established the tradition of mixing gigantic, intricately-made papier-mâché puppets with costumed revelers, a theme that continues today.
Throughout the rest of the decade, the event (and the parade route) expanded from year to year. From humble beginnings, its supporters grew from seminal alt-newspaper The Village Voice to include corporate sponsors like American Express and institutions like the National Endowment for the Arts.
By 1985, the size of the parade had ballooned to about 250,000 people, and it was re-routed to 6th Avenue to accommodate its growing size. Founder Ralph Lee also handed the parade director reins over to Jeanne Fleming, who continues to manage the event today.
Each year, the parade's flagship puppets adhere to a unifying, typically-upbeat theme. Previous years' themes include "Revival" and "Shine A Light." As the parade moved into the new millennium, the focus shifted from child-minded entertainment event to a cross-generational gathering that embraced many different communities. "Naughty" costumes and members of the LGBTQIA community became an active part of the event.
However, this new face of the parade didn't sit well with everyone. In 1998, it received flack for allegedly stoking homophobic attitudes, a claim refuted by Jeanne Fleming to The New York Times.
''One of the reasons people come to the parade is to see the drag queens,'' said Ms. Fleming in a 1998 article. "This is a crowd that wants to have fun. They are yelling: 'O. K.! Way to go!' People are coming for the wacky and the creative. They are not there to hurt somebody.''
But the parade's significance to the fabric of the city wouldn't truly be galvanized until 2001. Just seven weeks after 9/11, then-Mayor Rudolf Giuliani insisted the parade go on because of the potential healing it could provide to the beleaguered city. And so, with less than two months to plan, Fleming and company sprang into action: choosing the theme "Phoenix Rising," they created a massive, fiery 20-foot Phoenix to lead the festivities, signaling that New Yorkers too were rising out of the ashes.
However, in 2012, the veil of disaster did actually halt the parade. As the threat of Super Storm Sandy loomed over the city, Fleming made the tough but reasonable call to cancel the parade. Almost unable to recoup their financial losses from the cancellation, the parade organizers rallied the community by conducting a Kickstarter campaign. Nearly 1000 concerned donors raised over $56,000, keeping the tradition alive for years to come.
To make up for 2012's cancellation, 2015 actually got two Halloween parades. In addition to the one on Halloween, the parade was restaged for a scene in the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.
In recent years, costumes have ranged from pop culture references like the Daft Punk duo to standard Halloween fare like zombies and skeletons. Plenty of specially-painted cars also ride along the parade, sharing the road with gigantic puppets made to resemble everything from dancing skulls to mythical creatures like the massive Banthas from Star Wars. And they all march to the beat of over 50 bands that play during the course of the parade.
If you wish to participate in this year's parade, just show up in a costume—true to the spirit of the holiday, only costumed marchers are allowed. But, a lack of a costume doesn't mean missing out one of New York's hallmark events: like most crowded New York City traditions (Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, New Year's Eve in Times Square), sometimes it's just more fun to watch.

Nov. 11 is a day for remembering America's remarkable veterans, but as this Daily News editorial points out, it's increasingly a day for remembering now badly the American body politics treat them:
For example, one of the most reported failings is the huge backlog in disability claims being handled by the Department of Veterans Affairs. In March, the backlog of claims that were in the system for more than 120 days peaked at 611,073 claims, according to a Reuters report. The Department of Veterans Affairs managed to make a dent in that backlog, processing 200,000 claims. V.A. chief Eric Shinseki said that the department is on target to eliminate it by 2015.
Keep in mind: These are claims for veterans returning from war with a host of problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder, brain injuries and other disabilities. Any wait for help is horrendous, but the wait time on many claims is unconscionable: in some large cities like Philadelphia, vets wait for over a year for claims to be processed. (And a recent Washington Post report suggests that the race to clean up the claims backlog is creating a large new backlog in appeals.) Part of the delays are due to antiquated systems in the Veterans Affairs office, with the majority of paperwork still in hard copy.
This, the editorial notes, in addition to astronomical suicide rates among returning veterans, and increasing poverty, homelessness, and unemployment. That's a disgrace. There's two words we should say to every veteran today -- and that is "Thank you."
It shouldn't be, "We're sorry."

Spacious, comfortable modern apartment with an industrial feel with a splendid rooftop terrace. Claudia was an exceptional host with good English. Close to roman bridge to walk over to the beautiful walled city of Salamanca and also great walks along the river.
Would definitely recommend this to friends and would stay again if we ever come back this way.
El apartamento es muy bonito y está en una zona muy tranquila, pero muy cerca del centro, a pocos minutos! Cerca hay también supermercados, y en la esquina hay un bar-restaurante donde hacen una tortilla de patatas espectacular!! Lo recomiendo 100%!!
Muchas gracias Claudia por tu hospitalidad y tus sugerencias!!
The owner arrived at the apartment a little before the agreed time (as did we). She gave us a very thorough explanation of all the apartment features, along with local maps and restaurant advice.
The apartment is located across the river from the old town area – which is visible from the roof-top terrace. The walk to town is about 5 minutes across the historic Roman bridge. Because it is not actually in the old town, access by car is much easier. There is on-street parking available, but not needed as the apartment has a large, lock-up garage on the first floor. The flight of steps up to the main level of the apartment are a bit longer than usual because of the garage height and quite narrow. There was no problem getting the bags up because they have built-in an electric lift (dumb waiter) which does all the work. There is also a chair lift on the staircase in case anyone has mobility problems.
The apartment has been recently renovated and they have done a great job of it. The living furniture is comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped (including dishwasher) and the main and en-suite bathrooms are well appointed. There is a small enclosed terrace attached to the kitchen (great for breakfast), and a large open terrace on the roof – with views across the river to the old town. The kitchen was stocked with all the usual condiments, the bathrooms provided with soap and shampoo, and there was also powder for the dishwasher and washing machine.
The TV has Spanish channels only. WiFi internet access is provided, but it is a wireless service. OK but a little slow (and very slow at busy times for the network).
The only issues we had were: (1) the lack of air-conditioning. We were there during a very hot spell of summer. Leaving the windows open at night was problematic as the road outside had light, intermittent traffic that went on well into the night. and (2) the small, firm main bed. We ended up sleeping separately in the main and second bedrooms. Neither of these issues were a major problem for us over the two days we stayed, but may grate a little more over a longer stay.
Overall, it is a good apartment and well located. It suited our purposes very well.
The apartment is in an excellent position, just a short walk across the Roman bridge to the old city. The apartment is attractively decorated, well-furnished and well-equipped. Despite being near to a busy road, the apartment is very quiet and well insulated.
The private garage and the roof terrace are a bonus, although, when we were there, the weather was not good enough to enjoy the latter.
Claudia gave us a charming and helpful welcome to her lovely apartment and wonderful city.
If you are looking for a quiet area yet close enough to walk to the main areas of Salamanca, this apartment is perfect. It's located on the other side of the river and just a few steps away from the Roman bridge. The apartment is ample and very modern. It's clean and the kitchen has very modern appliances. Everything you need to cook is available. Pots and pans, coffee maker, micro, frig, washer etc. there is a supermarket about a 8minute walk up the street. There is a great restaurant just a few doors away. The apartment also has a terrazzo with patio furniture so you can enjoy the warm sun and beautiful views. The area is quiet also and very safe. There is a garage attached to the apartment which makes it very convenient. Claudia is easy to work with and she is always available to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this apartment and visiting Salamanca.
On the apartment: it was true to the photos, well-equipped, and clean. It is in an ideal location to reach the old town, bike paths, and highways to visit other towns. The walk to the old town is easy and close. The upper deck is a delight on a sunny day, and we happily studied there a few days during our stay. Claudia is the best hostess, concierge, and landlord I have ever had. If there was even the slightest thing amiss, she had it addressed or serviced very quickly. I would hope to rent this apartment again when I return to Salamanca.
On Dining: Lots of great little restaurants over the bridge. Especially enjoyed La 21 Hoya on Calle San Pablo y and El Laurel on the same street. Did not have a meal we didn't like during our entire stay. Enjoyed making lunch our main meal, and looked for "el menu de día" at most places.
On Salamanca: What a spectacular city with so many sites and museums. Loved Casa Lis, and if you like cars, the car museum is quite the surprise in the extent of its collection and the history on each car.
O apartamento fica a 5 minutos a pé da cidade velha de Salamanca e um minutos das principais áreas de esportes, pista de bicicleta e caminhada do rio.

How did a creepy Internet meme lead two Wisconsin teenagers to try to murder a classmate?
That's the question the HBO documentary "Beware the Slenderman" tries to answer, examining the headline-making 2014 case of two 12-year-olds who became so immersed in the online mythology of a made-up character known as Slenderman that they deluded themselves into believing the only way they could appease the monstrous creature was to stab a classmate and leave her for dead as a twisted sacrifice (luckily, the victim survived).
In a new trailer for the upcoming doc, which earned raves when it premiered at South By Southwest earlier this year, one of the girls is shown being questioned by police, describing the faceless ghoul who inspired their murderous act.
RELATED: Robert Durst Pleads Not Guilty To Murder Of Friend, Won't Face Death Penalty
"Anissa said that we had to," says the other girl. "She said that he'd kill our families," describing that "he" is somewhere "between six and 14 feet tall. He doesn't have a face. His skin is white."
The girls' horrific act baffled authorities and outraged parents in their Wisconsin community, and the film tries to make sense of how seemingly normal teenagers would do something so unthinkable.
"Beware the Slenderman" is slated to premiere on HBO in January 2017.

Gasketed air conditioner or heating filters, leaky air filters, washable air conditioning or heater air filters: This article explains and explain leaky air filters and the value of gasketed air filters, followed by comments on the effectiveness of washable air filters. This website answers almost any question you might ask about air filters for heating or air conditioning systems.
We explain how an air conditioning service technician will diagnose certain common air conditioning system failures or defects. In these articles we are referring to filters installed on central air conditioning or central heating systems that move air through air handlers and duct systems.
Standalone or portable "air cleaners" or "air purifiers" are generally ineffective in buildings. We include photographs to assist readers in recognizing cooling system defects.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2017 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
The page top photograph is of a low-MERV HVAC filter in an air handler.
A gasketed heating or air conditioning system air filter improves the filter effectiveness. The benefits of a high efficiency air filter material when used in an air handler and duct system are not fully realized if air bypasses the filter around its installation frame due to poor fit or poor installation.
[The filter shown here is not a high quality gasket-type air filter.] That's why some manufacturers emphasize the value of air-sealing gaskets on their products.
Simple observations made in the field will make for agreement with the manufacturers that filter bypass is an issue at some heating or air conditioning installations. When changing an air filter at a return air inlet or at an air handler, when the old filter has been removed, take a look inside the return duct at the return register, or inside the return plenum at the air handler, to see just how much debris is passing the filter.
[The photograph above shows how a badly-fit HVAC air filter can not only leak bypass air into the blower compartment but also it can collapse right into the blower fan - this is a potential fire hazard!]
On an old heating or air conditioning system where filters have been ineffective, not properly installed, leaky, or not maintained and changed on schedule, we often find quite a bit of debris entering the air handler and duct system.
This is in fact so common that most HVAC installers and technicians consider dirty ducts to be "normal". And they're quite correct: typical house dust that has collected inside of a duct system is not normally a toxic substance.
1) a high level of dust and debris inside of an air handler or duct system indicates that system filtration has not been effective,
2) the dust level indicates that the system has been delivering dust and debris to the occupants providing poorly-filtered air, and
3) there is an increased risk of mold in the duct or air handler system if moisture enters the system from a leak or from air conditioning condensate mishandling.
Washable re-usable air filters are very appealing from a cost viewpoint. I would look for data to indicate whether or not the washable filter runs at a lower MERV or filtering efficiency.
In our cascaded filter proposal (discussed at this website) we included and continued to use a washable filter that came with the equipment since it was not reducing the airflow CFM, but we preceded it with other filters for different purposes.
The photograph at above left shows a typical washable metal air filter used in central air conditioning systems, and at above right is a washable foam air conditioning filter used in a portable room air conditioner. Other types of washable air filters are available as well.
At left we illustrate a plastic and nylon washable air filter used in both window air conditioners and in wall-mounted split system air conditioner units.
Unlike the foam type air filter shown above, these plastic and nylon air filters withstand repeated cleaning without disintegrating.
The efficiency of these filters increases as debris begins to settle on the filter surface, but eventually the improvement in air filtration efficiency is offset by reduced airflow - so clean the air filters in accordance with the cooling unit manufacturer's instructions - typically monthly during constant use.
Also see Spit System Air Conditioner Air Filter Maintenance - How to Clean a Split System Air Conditioner Filter.
A metallic air filter (shown ) is not very efficient (effective) at trapping airborne particles when it is clean, though efficiency improves as it gets dirty. Other pleated, fabric or paper air filters that are also washable are more efficient at trapping airborne debris.
Be sure to read PARTICLE SIZES & IAQ for a description of the sizes and behaviors of some of the common particles that are an indoor air quality concern.

When Night Didn't Come by Poly Bernatene is a wordless picture book which offers a considerable level of challenge to read as well as being a visual feast.
The story tells of a village when the sun goes down and the panic when the moon doesn't rise. There are wonderful pictures of the mechanics of making the moon rise with villagers pulling up large bags of stars and throwing them into the sky.
The colours used in the pictures are rich with glowing oranges set against darker blues, greens and purples giving a slightly theatrical, if not magical feel to the story. It is this element that reminds me of Leon and The Place Between by Grahame Baker-Smith. In fact it would be wonderful if children could tell the story of night not coming in the style of Leon and The Place Between. The language in that book is rich in patterning with a magical air about it.
I think this book would be most suitable for Yr4 children, particularly the imaginary worlds/fanstasy unit of literacy. Wonderful!
