I feel the need to start one of these....
Freebsd vs Linux
THe last 8 months or so I have been implementing RedHat and FreeBSD solutions.
RedHat has been stable and I have not had any problems. In addition, if software is mode for *nix to run on an intel chip it will work with RedHat.
FreeBSD is stable and I love the ports setup as well as the overall directory structure design. I also like the idea that FreeBSD is FreeBSD. Not many different install setups etc...like our penguin loving friends.
But I must ask....at this point in time...is there any trump card that BSD has over Linux....I think....Linux has prven stable by now. And why are all the big vendors lining up behind Linux not BSD. Does anyone think BSD will go the way of the DO-DO...????

Deep Snow Can Cause Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
You can take steps now to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning before the snow banks get any deeper.
Carbon monoxide poisoning doesn't only come from operating generators in enclosed spaces. There are other ways that the deadly gas can get trapped in your home or your vehicle and, since it's odorless and colorless, you may not realize it's there until it's too late.
CO poisoning starts out with a headache, fatigue, and nausea, which can be easily blamed on a cold or flu. If you think you've been exposed to the gas, get outside immediately and head to an emergency room. But, before that happens, here are a few ways to prevent carbon monoxide from endangering the lives of your family.
Heating and Dryer Vents
It's easy to forget about all the vents on the outside of your home, but you want to pay attention when the snow gets deep. A blocked heating or dryer vent will cause Carbon Monoxide to back up into the house. Take a walk around the house and check all of your exhaust vents, clearing snow away from them so they work correctly. Also, check behind the door of the vent to make sure snow and ice haven't packed inside.
Car Exhausts
It's tempting, when your vehicle is buried in snow, to run the engine while you're digging it out, so you can defrost the windows at the same time. But that can spell trouble if the tailpipe is blocked with snow. Same goes if you slide off the road and get stuck in a snowbank. Keep the engine off until you make clear all snow from the exhaust. A blockage means the Carbon Monoxide will back up in the vehicle.
It may seem like a good idea to start your snowblower inside the garage and let it run for a few minutes while you clear snow in small areas with a shovel. But that snowblower has an exhaust, and venting it into an enclosed space is going to cause CO poisoning. Same goes for running your vehicle's engine inside the garage. Leaving the garage door open is still no guarantee that those fumes won't stay inside. Take the snowblower and vehicles outside to warm them up.
Generators And Alternative Heat Sources
Generators need to be operated outside, at all times. Exhaust fumes build up fast and poison the air with deadly carbon monoxide. Never, ever put the generator in the house, a shed, or even the garage with the door open. It has to be outside to avoid CO poisoning. And, like with your vehicle, make sure the exhaust is clear of snow. Alternative heat sources, like gas-powered heaters, also need to be properly vented so all the exhaust goes outside.
Working CO Detectors
Even after taking all these measures, there's always a chance that Carbon Monoxide could find its way into your home. So, it's important to have working CO detectors in your house to alert you to any danger. Make sure your detectors have battery back-up, so they're still operational when the power goes out. You'll need at least one detector on each floor of your house, including the basement if that's where your furnace is located. Place them outside sleeping areas and near any fuel-burning appliance, including gas stoves. For more information on preventing Carbon Monoxide poisoning, log onto the Maine CDC's website.

A skeletal hand clutching an iron key lies hidden within a mermaid's wooden sarcophagus; a hand-drawn map is stolen from beneath the floorboards an old museum. All while an eccentric inventor - he Sleeper - dreams of a passage to the centre of the hollow earth. And by dreaming, brings the passage into being....
Pursued by kidnappers thinking of riches and murder, Katherine Perkins and her two cousins must descend into the depths of the hollow earth in order to return the Sleeper to his ancestral home on the shores of Lake Windermere. But to awaken him might mean the end of his dream, the closing of the Windermere Passage, leaving the three intrepid explorers marooned in a savage land forgotten by time itself.
Zeuglodon, set in the world envisioned in James P Blaylock's The Digging Leviathan, is a landscape of colour, mystery, and adventure, in which reality and fantasy are shifting currents, and nothing is quite what it seems to be.
James P Blaylock is one of the founding fathers of modern steampunk along with fellow writers and friends Tim Powers and K.W. Jeter. He has won the World Fantasy and Philip K. Dick Awards. Blaylock lives in Orange CA with his wife, they have two sons.

My Karbonn S5 Titanium is getting slower day-by-day, what shall I do?
Best answer
Others answers (2)
- eAnswers...Jun 5, 2013
As you know that Karbonn S5 Titanium is an Android based phone and it has 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Quad Core Processor with 1 GB RAM so generally it should not work slow as you are saying. May be you have installed lots of applications on your device and they are working at the same time, because these apps consumes RAM and makes the phone slower. In this case you should uninstall the useless applications. If this is not the case then you should take your phone to Karbonn service center they will fix it.

"I work for you".
The accumulation of just too many lies.
The government's ultimate defense is to say "I work for you". But that only works when people believe it. Unfortunately too many now believe the country works for Obama....
Snowden said what many were already prepared to believe — even Obama's liberal supporters — that the administration is a lying, corrupt, power-mad collection of unscrupulous men. Like a jilted woman, people didn't believe Snowden because they knew him; they believed in Snowden because they knew Obama. The sense of betrayal may have even been more acute on the Left. In Snowden's words: "I believed in Obama's promises". And how many of those said to themselves, 'so did I and chose poorly.'

A Framework for Stopping Iran from Getting Nuclear Weapons
A framework for stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons
By Brian Katulis, Chairman of the NSN Board of Directors
July 19, 2015 | Providence Journal
The Obama administration took an important step to advance America's security in completing the comprehensive joint plan of action, or CJPoA. The deal negotiated in Vienna represents the best of the available options for dealing with Iran's nuclear program. It avoids both the hazards and uncertainties of military action, and provides a strong international framework for stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
One interesting aspect of the debate sparked last week by the Iran deal is that most critics are unclear about what they would propose as an alternative to the current deal – it is not clear that additional sanctions would have motivated Iran to make more concessions, and the prospect of another war in the Middle East is not appealing to many.
A key strength of this agreement is that it brings together the world's leading powers and outlines commitments from Iran.
Brian Katulis is a Senior Fellow at American Progress, where his work focuses on U.S. national security policy in the Middle East and South Asia.

I don't know about you, but I've been ready for flip-flop season for at least a month. I may still have a 4-foot-high snowbank at the top of my driveway, but the songbirds are my new alarm clock and all I can think about is spring. And after a long winter of hearty stews, rib-sticking chili and all things roasted, I'm craving the fresh, light, refreshing vegetables of spring. Luckily the best ones are showing up at farmers' markets across the country: snappy peas, refreshing baby lettuce, spicy radishes and more. Here are 5 of my favorite spring veggies and amazing ways to cook them.

We love a good Thai curry. And if you frequent Thai restaurants, you probably do too! You can put just about anything in a Thai curry, so we Test Kitchen cooks always keep curry paste on hand so we can whip up a curry with whatever we have hanging out in the fridge.
When we decided to use Thai curry paste in the March/April 2015 issue for our Market Pick column (that's where we do four different takes on one ingredient), we in the Test Kitchen thought it would only be prudent to try as many curry pastes as we could get our hands on.
We tend to use red curry paste, which is the middle of the road in terms of heat. But you can also get yellow curry paste, which is milder than red, and green curry paste, which is hotter. Green and red get their color from chiles, the yellow from turmeric.

This may be an overshare, but I've been known to drink a slug of vinegar now and then.

The rub of course is: people (men and women) aren't going to stop thinking fashion is frivolous anytime soon. People will still ask "wow you bought another dress" or "what's the point of knowing the names of all those models, talk about useless trivia." So, what can you say when people start knocking your personal interest/hobby? My personal response to people questioning the value of fashion as an interest and/or hobby is to discover said person's own hobby. How much money does he/she spend every year on tickets to games, or even just hours glued to the television cheering excitedly for their team? In the uselessness of sports enthusiasm I find a passion for personal style far less silly...How do you respond when someone rolls their eyes at your interests?

Get Out Of Spending Money On A Locksmith With This Advice
Locksmiths are trusted with some of the most valuable possessions. We trust them with our vehicles, family, and homes. This is why you need to have a professional service your needs the most. The following information will assist you with finding a great locksmith .
If you're locked outside of your home, don't use a locksmith who wants to replace the lock. A good locksmith can open a lock or install a new one, depending on your request. Lock replacement forces you to incur extra charges unnecessarily.
Locked outside your house? Don't agree to replace that lock immediately. A skilled locksmith can get the door unlocked without putting on a new lock. Replacing a lock will just end up unnecessarily costing you to spend extra money for no reason.
You should prepare yourself even if you don't really think a locksmith is necessary. Spend some time researching in advance and locate a skilled professional you can trust in emergency situations. Keep a locksmith's phone number in a cell phone or written down so you can call then if the worst happens.
You need to ascertain the individual will have your best interest and not their own. Some scammers will make duplicates without your key so they can rip you off later on.
Look for locksmiths who are active within their communities. It is wise to know that you have a locksmith who stays updated on the latest industry trends. It also shows he's serious about his profession.
You should prepare yourself even if you need a locksmith. Research before you need one and find someone that you can be contacted for emergencies. Put the number in your cell phone and relax.
Inquire about the experience that the locksmith has. Also, make sure they have always been operating out of the same location. A company with five or more years of experience servicing a given area is probably a good bet.
Get a receipt for the services of a locksmith. That is why it is important to get proof that they were completely paid is necessary. Keep your receipt in case there is any question with regard to payment come up.
Find a locksmith before you really need one. You won't have many choices if you put it off until you have been locked out of the car or house. It is vital to get someone that you can trust.
Business Hours
Before trusting locksmiths with your home's keys, find a customer list. Most businesses are happy to provides references, and it is important to actually call the referred customers. Figure out how much you can trust the locksmith and then how much you're going to be charged when it's an emergency situation.
Avoid additional fees by not calling the locksmith in his business hours. The locksmith charges goes up after hours. The price can be double the fees charged during normal business hours.
Ask to see their identification and license when a locksmith arrives. Compare the documents to ensure the licence belongs to the locksmith. Not every state makes licensing mandatory, but a reputable locksmith has one anyway.
Check the BBB to make sure that a locksmith is truly reputable. This will help you know if the locksmith is an established businessperson with your choice.
If there's a complaint against some services, make sure you deal with the company as soon as possible. If you don't, you may end up complaining outside of the time frame they permit reparations. If you don't get the things you want, you should speak with a consumer protection agency to help you.
Check out the credentials before you let him inside your home. You can accomplish this by comparing his business address and cross-reference it with his telephone number. The Internet has made it quite simple to check if someone is reliable and trustworthy, so do it!
Contact your local law enforcement to see if your potential locksmith has any outstanding complaints filed. They'll have them filed there, so you should be able to find out. When there are any records available, cross that firm off your list.
Be sure to check the identification for any locksmith you make an appointment with.Professionals should be in uniform and proper identification.
It's common practice to tip a locksmith for a job well done, so don't forget to give the person some extra cash for the work provided. You may want to tip especially well if you called during off hours. A general visit deserves 15%, and 20% can be given for after-hours visits.
Sometimes this means that you can't trust the person to do the job they have been hired for. Get several quotes and find one you want to hire.
Remember that the price you get on the phone may differ slightly from what you are actually charged. Prices can legitimately change once the locksmith arrives to appraise the situation. However, the price should be close to what was quoted.
Ask the locksmith how long they've been in business. The longer they have been in business, the more reliable they are. While most new locksmiths won't get your trust right away, very little experience is a sign that you should be cautious.
If you find an ad that claims to beat any other locksmith's price, call them and see if there are any terms or conditions for the offer. As an example, you might have to show a written quote after talking to other locksmiths.
Beware locksmiths who claims they need to drill out your entire lock or replace it when you find yourself locked out.
Locksmiths have the skills to do more than just opening a locked door. You can ask them to look at the security you currently have to see if it's good or ask them to install a safe. A good locksmith can truly secure your home or even your business.
Ask about all the hidden fees when asking for a quote. Does this price include the tax? Do you they have any discounts for veterans or seniors? Do they tack on any high fees if you call them after business hours or if you live outside a particular service area? You must ask for all associated costs before you hire a locksmith so that there are no upsetting surprises.
Locksmith services are usually a lot more costly after hours. Some people will take advantage and use these hours to charge exorbitant rates. You can avoid having to deal with this type of price gougers by getting quotes from multiple locksmiths.
Some have experience with alarm as well.
Do not forget that you are providing access to your home.If you don't get a good vibe from them, hire someone else. You should always arrange the first meeting at their business before allowing them know where you live.
If there is a problem with the work being performed, immediately call into the company to lodge a complaint. If you delay, it could go past the deadline where the company lets you make changes. If you can't get what you want, contact the local Better Business Bureau.
Find locksmiths that have been around for long track record of time. If a locksmith is new to your area, try to ask for references from previous customers. Look them up their name and prior location on the Internet to see if they have reviews.
Tipping a locksmith is a common practice, so remember to tip that person for the job done. This is especially the case if this was an emergency one. A typical visit calls for a 15% tip, and 20% can be given for after-hours visits.
Don't hire a locksmith if you have to. You can change your locks rather than calling in the services of hiring a professional locksmith to do it for you.
It's hard for them to give you a number that's exact if they weren't able to see the damage.
You want to find a locksmith who is trustworthy and dependable since you are entrusting him with your important possessions. Get the best possible locksmith you can by using the advice from this article. Doing anything other than this would not be worth it.

The Mass. Taxpayers Foundation proposals warrant a thorough review and careful consideration and I anticipate discussing these options with the impacted parties this fall and during the next legislative session.
The Mass. Taxpayers Foundation recently recommended that local officials be given the power to design their own health plans without having to negotiate with the unions, and that state retirees use Medicare for their primary health care coverage. Do you support these proposals?

Blessed Share "Body" with The FADER
II out April 28th via Kingfisher Bluez (CA) and Cointoss Records (US)
Announce North American Tour Dates for May through July
photo credit: Jaimi Wainwright
Listen to "Body"
Vancouver's Blessed are getting ready to release II on April 28th via Kingfisher Bluez (Canada) and Cointoss Records (US) and they are sharing second single "Body" today with The FADER. Blessed's artful post-punk and twitchy indie rock sound has earned the band comparisons to everyone from Television and The Fall to Ought and Radiohead. The band's songwriting is brilliantly locked in and carefully constructed. "Body" is built on shimmering art rock experimentation, tangled riffs, and an impeccably nimble rhythmic onslaught that warps its way into cold manipulated krautrock and expansive punk bliss.
The FADER called the single, "an extended, punky jam, clocking in at just over seven minutes, and making each feel fresh and exciting. The first half of the track is dominated by the high-fructose riffing pioneered by Deerhoof, giving way to a darker, propulsive jam that's just as chaotic, yet well-controlled."
Speaking about "Body," Drew Riekman (guitar/vocals) shared:
"This song was my favourite to compose on the EP. The band as a whole had a lot of ideas that kept feeding into it, and turned it into such a long song. We're all fans of electronic music, and had been looking for ways to incorporate it into what we've been doing almost since the inception of the band. We bought some keyboards and a drum machine and just started fooling around. We had toyed with the idea of a droning, stretched out piece of almost unflinching music, akin to Neu. When we started fooling around with our new instruments, we created the piece in the middle of this song. It's become my favourite song to play live."
Blessed's self-titled debut earned praise from Stereogum, Noisey, Exclaim, and more, and the band played a whopping 91 shows throughout Canada and the US (which would have been 111 if not for visa troubles that derailed an East Coast tour). The band are showing no signs of slowing down either with a string of North American tour dates this Spring/Summer that stretches from May 5th to July 15th. Blessed are the type of band to play the road may lead them and the band are amazing audiences one show at a time.

"a fidgety post-punk jamboree with chord strums that cut like sharp-edged corners and mimic the sound of angrily joggling a locked or jammed door." – Stereogum

Pre-Order: Canada | US
1. Phase
2. Headache
3. Body
4. Endure
Blessed is a band based on uncompromising work ethic, a commitment to democratic involvement between members, striving never to repeat itself. Comprised of members from the Fraser Valley, the off-to-the-side Vancouver suburb the group resides in, Drew Riekman, Jake Holmes, Reuben Houweling, and Mitchell Trainor came together to create something they had been looking for in their previous projects. Between the four, their projects have toured internationally (US, EU), recorded with Corin Roddick (Purity Ring), and played many esteemed festivals (Sled Island, Rifflandia, NXNE, SXSW). Blessed has, in its short existence, been fortunate enough to play alongside Garrett Klahn (Texas Is The Reason), The Courtneys, Preoccupations, Chastity, and Fucked Up. After a winter in Montreal, guitarist/vocalist Drew Riekman approached the three other members about a project designed to fulfill a desire wherein they could create music with no boundaries in it's creative process, and tour as relentlessly as they pleased. After touring North America once and Canada three times on the strength of their first four song EP, Blessed is releasing a new four song 12" EP on April 28th through Kingfisher Bluez (Allison Crutchfield, Xui Xui) and Coin Toss Records (Drug Control, Edgewise) and cassette via Double Lunch from Edmonton.
Recorded over 7 days at Vancouver's Rain City, the new EP finds the group exploring territory akin to Television, Wire, Deerhoof, and Liars. Experimenting with the addition of programmed drums, synthesizers, and no limits on how short or long a song could be. Mixed by Jesse Gander (Japandroids, White Lung) and mastered by Paul Gold (Akron/Family, The War On Drugs), Blessed has crafted a four song EP that clocks in at 26 minutes spanning an even vaster sonic landscape than their previous EP. Frantic yet calculated, wiry yet groove oriented, the group are expanding the definition of what band can create and still maintain its core sound.

The so-called emissary of Chechen separatists, Akhmed Zakayev, is waging a hidden, pro-imperialist and anti-Chechen campaign in the West, writes Alla Dudayeva, widow of Chechnya's first president Dzhokhar Dudayev, in a statement released in the name of the legitimate government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
Zakayev's group is holding talks with representatives of the Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov and has thus merged with the occupation authorities, the statement reads. Zakayev and his supporters have betrayed the memory of the 250,000 who have died in Chechnya and the cause they gave their lives for.
Proclamation of the Government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
The self-declared "government in exile" of Akhmed Zakayev, which is waging a hidden, pro-imperialist and anti-Chechen campaign in the West, has finally shown its true colours by effectively merging with the occupation authorities. The goal of Zakayev's "peace negotiations" in Oslo and London is to subjugate Chechnya illegally to Russian rule.
As the sole guarantor of the independence of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria (ChRI), the legitimate government of ChRI, is facing a new challenge to its authority. The right response will be to call on all patriotic forces and friends of the Chechen people to expand their fight against the internal and external enemies of Chechen statehood.
The Chechen people announced its sovereignty on 26 November 1990 through a popular referendum. The Russian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic (RSFSR) and the USSR recognised the sovereignty of the Chechen-Ingush Republic. On 12 March 1992, the new independent republic elected a government and approved a constitution as a sovereign and democratic state.
The independent Chechen Republic of Ichkeria (ChRI) emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991. Imperial Moscow dealt its first strike against ChRI in 1994 by occupying the country, destroying cities and villages, and killing more than a quarter of Chechnya's population. Resistance against the occupation has not abated, however, even though the Kremlin tries to hide the fact.
The Kremlin is trying to legitimise its puppet regime in Grozny by claiming that Chechnya has always been a part of Russia. This is an attempt to annex the territory of an independent state and to clear the perpetrators of war crimes against the Chechen people of all responsibility. Moscow is thus blatantly violating international law.
We were always aware of internal and external forces who were preparing the ideological justification for the surrender of Chechnya's real independence. In 2001, these forces held secret negotiations in Switzerland and later in Liechtenstein as part of the Kremlin's plan to have Chechnya recognised as part of Russia.
In December 2002, Zakayev and his cohorts convened a pro-Russian "World Chechen Congress" in Copenhagen, where they approved a joint plan with the Kremlin to deprive the Chechen people of their statehood and to subjugate Chechnya to Russia. This was contrary to the popular will of the Chechen people, as manifested in the referendum of 26 November 1990.
On 12 August 2009 in London, Zakayev and the Kremlin again announced plans to hold a joint anti-Chechen "congress" in Europe so as to depict the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria as part of the Russian Federation. The Chechen nation has, however, nothing to do with Russia's internal matters, given that Chechnya seceded from the USSR and restored its statehood in full compliance with international law on 12 March 1992.
Trying to discredit the legal right of the Chechen people to fight against Russian military occupation, Zakayev and the Kremlin fostered an anti-Chechen opinion on the international arena by creating a false image of all those who were opposed to Russian occupation of Chechnya. This only served the interests of the Kremlin and was in line with the suggestions of certain political forces in the West.
What is the goal of the talks between Kadyrov and Zakayev now held in Europe? The principal subject of Russian-Chechen negotiations should be the recognition of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and the deoccupation of the country, including the restoration of a legitimate government. None of this is being discussed in the talks between Kadyrov and Zakayev.
The "peace talks" between Kadyrov and Zakayev, purportedly to end the so-called "civil war," are part of the Kremlin's effort to convince the international community that the Russian-Chechen question is Russia's internal matter. Zhaludi Saralyapov [chairman of Zakayev's parliament], who is party to the talks, is clearly doing the Kremlin's bidding. Zakayev's grand play will not, however, bring the desired result even for Kadyrov.
Zakayev's actions are criminal and violate the sovereignty of the Chechen nation and its right to freedom. Under the Chechen constitution, "the state soverreignty of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria is undivisible and inviolable, and cannot be the subject of discussion and negotiations with other states, including Russia."
Many members of the legitimate government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria proved themselves true patriots in the political struggle of the Chechen people against hostile forces. By staying in their posts, they continued to represent the legal goverment and the legitimate state power of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
The members of the legitimate government repelled Zakayev's and Saralyapov's anticonstitutional conspiracy and, at the same time, condemned the self-renunciation of Chechnya's former president, Dokka Umarov, in November 2007. The members of the legitimate government tried to reach a compromise and have them return to the constitutional path. Unfortunately, neither Zakayev nor Umarov agreed to do so.
Hiding behind the name of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, the photographs of our late presidents, the coat-of-arms and the flag of ChRI, Zakayev, Saralyapov, and their supporters betrayed the memory of the 250,000 who have died and the cause they gave their lives for.
The legitimate government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria exists as before. Together with the Chechen people, the government continues the struggle against the deoccupation and international recognition of our country. The day will come when the government will hand over its authority to those worthy of carrying on the cause of Chechen independence.
In the name of the Government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria,
Akhyad Idigov

U.S. Agricultural Sector Relief Act of 2012 - Amends the Clean Air Act to require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pursuant to an application submitted by any person, to seek a critical use exemption under the Montreal Protocol to allow the production, importation, and consumption of methyl bromide: (1) for any approved critical use that is determined by the Administrator to be a critical use for the applicant, and (2) in the amount necessary for such use.
Prohibits the Administrator from denying such an application or reducing the amount requested unless the Administrator: (1) has substantial evidence that there is a technically and economically feasible alternative available to the applicant for such use of methyl bromide, and (2) provides such evidence to the applicant in writing. Requires the Administrator, when evaluating the technical and economic feasibility of any alternative, to consider: (1) cost and commercial availability of the alternative, (2) demonstrated effectiveness of the alternative for the applicant's specific intended use, (3) demonstrated effectiveness of the alternative in the geographic region of the applicant's intended use, and (4) state or local regulations that may restrict use of the alternative for the applicant's intended use.

Some people will give the shirts off their backs for a worthy cause. Employees of Salt Lake City-based Richter7 are giving their pants.
As the mercury passed the 100-degree mark in Utah this summer, managers at the advertising and public relations agency issued an edict to employees: no pants.
Instead, employees wore shorts, skirts, capris, sarongs and even kilts to the office for five weeks in July and August. Anyone showing up in long pants had to pay a 25-cent fine for each offense.
Managers also encouraged employees to donate at least one pair of pants as part of the company's drive to donate clothing to needy people in Utah.
"This is a huge morale boost for everybody," says Tim Brown, Richter7 partner in charge of morale boosting. "Our success in battling the heat seems to spill over into tackling tough client projects. And putting our pants to good use by donating them to our community encourages us to look for creative opportunities and continually make a difference."

Nicolas Roche: 'The way I've been climbing during this Vuelta, I feel like I deserved fourth place'
Saturday, September 18 Stage 20: San Martin de Valeiglesias to Bola Del Mundo, 172km
When I got up this morning I knew today's stage would decide this Tour of Spain. Everybody did. The last mountain of the race, the savagely steep, 22km-long Bola del Mundo, loomed at the end of the stage and we all knew it would be the last place where any of us could open a big enough time gap on our nearest rivals to make a difference in the overall standings.
Because today was so important, I cut myself off from the world and didn't even answer my phone to friends last night. I started today in seventh place overall, just 14 seconds off fourth-placed Joaquin Rodriguez of Katusha and 13 seconds off fifth-placed Luxembourg champion Franck Schleck. But just two seconds behind me, American Tom Danielson was waiting for me to slip up on the mountain and overtake me. For me, 'the globe of the world' would be the place where, if I had a bad day, I could possibly lose my top-10 place, or if a couple of others had a bad day, I could move into the top five
The start was really fast today and there were attacks on all three of the first mountains. Katusha and Caisse d'Epargne were fighting for the team prize, and were trying to get men up the road and chasing each other down all day.
Once again, my Ag2r La Mondiale team did a great job for me today and I had them all around me as we approached the final climb. Youngster Guillaume Bonnafond gave me one last bottle at the bottom of the climb and, suffering from his effort, started to drift down the back on the lower slopes. I called him back up on the team radio. I told him it was the last hard day and I needed him to ride in front of me until he couldn't ride anymore. In fairness to him, Guillaume came back up and rode as hard as he could. When he couldn't go anymore, he just blew up and drifted back to suffer his way to the top.
At the beginning of this Vuelta, Guillaume had it in the back his mind that he could get a top-30 or 40 placing overall. He wasn't fully committed to riding for me and was trying to save a little bit for himself every day. The team director had a chat with him and explained that 40th was not the goal of the team. The aim was to get me into the highest possible position overall. It took him a while to cop onto that, but every day since, he has done more and more and today he was fantastic again.
In that respect, this race has been completely different than the Tour. Everybody put their own ambitions to one side. For example, Sebastian Hinault, our sprinter, worked for me every day on the flat sections into the wind. In the mountains, Seb did everything he could. He carried my rain jacket. He grabbed my food bag every day at the feed zone. Because he's a sprinter Seb's also great at accelerating into the bottom of the climbs to get me in a good position.
The team gave me 100pc today. Biel Kadri was in the break, while Christophe Riblon, Rinaldo Nocentini, Ludovic Turpin and Hubert Dupont were great on the climb. I actually had Hubert with me until five kilometres to go, doggedly riding to one side, just in front of me, to keep me sheltered from the headwind on the climb. With five kilometres to go, the pace went down slightly, and knowing that I wanted to keep the pace steady, Hubert turned to me and said "Nico, I'm on my last legs, I can't ride for much longer, but if you want me to ride, I can give you one last hand."
Just as we were talking though, Schleck put in a little dig at the front that whittled the group down to just the top seven riders on GC. The increase in pace saw Danielson dropped, so that was one less to worry about.
Schleck jumped again with 4.5km to go and a few metres later, Mosquera attacked race leader Nibali and was soon trying to gain the 50 seconds he needed to win the Vuelta, with the Italian in hot pursuit. Tondo had been dropped with the acceleration of Mosquera and I knew if got eight seconds' advantage on him, I'd move up to sixth overall. Schleck accelerated again and I was struggling. Tondo caught me and I sat on his wheel for a few minutes before jumping again and regaining contact with Scheck, Rodriguez and Velits.
I was still ahead of Tondo but was suffering alongside the other three on the steep slopes. We turned off the main road with three kilometres to go and hit a tarmac road with a 20pc slope that went all the way up to the top of the mountain. The surface was brutal, with holes, cracks and gravel everywhere. It was ridiculously hard.
As people dangled over our heads in ski lifts, I knew that at some stage, the three guys that I was left with would attack me and I could completely crack. I knew there was a time bonus for the first three riders on the stage but even I'm not that ambitious. Today was one of those days where everybody was flat out. There was no chance of surprising any of the better climbers to get third. I was hoping that when Rodriguez attacked, I could just stay with Schleck and maybe drop Velits.
That's what happened and I would have been happy with that, except Tondo clawed his way back to me with 200m to go and then attacked me. The Cervelo rider had ridden strongly on the climb, just letting me dangle ahead of him and came back at the top. He took fifth place on the stage but more importantly, gained three more seconds on the line.
I was so out of breath from the effort and the altitude that when I rode across the finish line, our soigneur Jo-Jo had to grab me to stop me keeling over. I was totally exhausted and it took me a good while to recover. Jo-Jo pushed me up the road a few metres and into the tent the race organisation had arranged for us to get changed in before we rode back down the mountain to our team buses.
Chiara was in the tent, handing out bottles and jerseys to the lads as they came in. She gave me a hug and Hubert came over and gave me a pat on the back. I shook hands with Tondo, Velits and Schleck and we had a few words for each other before riding back down. His work done earlier on, Guillaume was still climbing as I descended down and he shouted at me to find out how I'd done. We high-fived each other in the middle of the road as we met.
Today, I'm happy with the stage result but a little bit disappointed that I didn't overtake Tondo and move up to sixth. But I had a good stage. I tried attacking him coming to the finish to take a few seconds but it didn't work out, so I have no regrets. For me, the race for the overall is finished today. I'm not going to go for sprint bonuses tomorrow. Unless I win the stage, I'd never take back 11 seconds on Tondo, but I'll still have to be in the front, and make sure there are no splits in the finish.
Sunday, September 19, Stage 21: San Sebastian de los Reyes to Madrid, 85km
Last night we had a special dinner with all the team staff to celebrate my team-mate Jose-Luis Arrieta's career. He had planned to retire after this Vuelta but had to abandon the race last week with tendonitis. Instead of my usual bowl of plain pasta with olive oil -- which I've had every single day for the past three weeks, I had a lovely steak dinner. Knowing that the stage didn't start until 3.0 the next afternoon, we all had a glass of wine and relaxed as Jose reminisced about his career. We laughed as we realised he began with five-time Tour de France winner Miguel Indurain as his team leader and ended up with me.
I didn't get much of a lie in this morning though, as I was woken up early by a knock on the door from the anti-doping officers for my fifth dope test of this year's race.
At 11.30, the team went down for lunch of pasta and rice, or so we thought. The hotel had nothing arranged for us though, so we had to have more bowls of cereal to stock up for the stage ahead. On the start line, they passed around trays of miniature cakes to everyone in the peloton, which helped fill the gap.
Although the stage started off slow enough, it just got faster and faster as the finish approached. Still close enough on time to overtake each other if we got a few seconds, myself, Franck Schleck, Xavier Tondo and Joaquin Rodriguez couldn't relax until it was over and we were eventually safely home.
I finished seventh overall, but was so close to fourth that I can't help being a bit pissed off. Looking back, fourth place was within my capabilities. The way I've been climbing on this Vuelta, I feel like I deserved it, but the two time trials let me down. Being so good on the mountains and so desperately bad in the time trial still gets to me. I lost three-and -a-half minutes in the 46km time trial. If I could have been just one minute faster, I'd be fourth overall now.
It's about time that all the climbing work I have been doing all year has paid off though. All I've done all year is train in the mountains. I've even lost weight to help me get up them quicker. Maybe that's why I haven't been so strong in the time trial and why my sprinting is not as good as it used to be either.
Overall, though, I'm happy. There are not too many guys who rode two Grand Tours for the GC this year, so I'm pretty satisfied. It's also the first time that I rode as a team leader with the full support of my team. At the Tour, I got help from some guys, not so much help from others and some just couldn't help me, so I was a bit limited in the mountains. This time, I had a real team backing me up and, as I finally flake out on the bus, everybody is happy. The soigneurs and the mechanics and the rest of the guys are chirpy and smiling. Next stop Australia and the world championships but first, I can't wait for my own bed tonight.

Published in Orbit#4(1954)
Beast in the House was a very interesting story. The beast in the title is an ordinary looking dog that wanders into the yard. Nothing sounds scary so far. Then, the mother notices that the dog seems to be watching her. But something else does not seem right. The dog's ears do not move when sounds are made. Every dog she has ever seen has it's ears move in reaction to sounds.
In another part of the neighborhood, a man finds the dead body of a dog. The dog has been skinned. What would do something like that? And why?
After reading this story, I know I will be looking at stray dogs more carefully.
Highly recommended.
