Usain Bolt: When you can see Jamaica's main man at Rio 2016
USAIN Bolt could steal the show in Rio – but when can you expect to see him?
Sport fans in the UK might have needed their fair share of caffeine to keep track of the Games so far.
And watching Jamaican superstar Bolt will be no different.
He will bid for his second gold of the Games at 2:30am later.
A win would earn Bolt his eighth Olympic gold and claim his third 200m title.
In the early hours of this morning, Bolt eased his way into the final – sharing a laugh with Canada's Andre de Grasse.
And in a big surprise, Bolt's biggest rival Justin Gatlin will not be competing after failing to qualify from his semi-final.
He'll be in the Jamaican relay team too – with a heat scheduled for 3:40pm on Thursday before the final at 2:35am in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The 29-year-old knows all to well that athletics "needs him to win" amid controversy over doping.
Daily Star Online has mapped out when you can see all the stars of the Olympics.
Outside of Rio, Bolt – a huge Manchester United fan – has had his say on the Old Trafford club signing Paul Pogba from Juventus.

LEHI — Nobody ever doubted what Jamison Olave meant to Real Salt Lake, but the past month has revealed just how important he truly is.
Since Olave went down with a sprained knee in the MLS All-Star Game in late July, RSL has won just once in the past five games. RSL only lost four games throughout the entire 2010 season, and now it's lost four in a span of a month. It can't be a coincidence.
Olave, the 2010 MLS Defender of the Year, will likely be back in the lineup this Saturday at Chivas USA to try and help Real Salt Lake stop the bleeding. It will be a welcome sight for everyone associated with the club.
"He's one of the best defenders in the league for the past couple years now. I think the partnership that him and (Nat) Borchers have created is the best tandem in the league," said RSL captain Kyle Beckerman.
Even though everyone is thrilled about the prospects of getting Olave back on the field, his five-game replacement, Chris Schuler, received nothing but praise from his teammates. Is it justified praise though?
With Schuler in the starting lineup RSL suffered through one of its worst stretches in two years with a 1-4 record and eight goals conceded. There were 10 other players on the field to share the blame in each of those loses, but Olave brings intangibles to the field Schuler can't duplicate and RSL sorely missed.
RSL coach Jason Kreis said they've missed Olave's ability to make a special defensive play.
"We talk about big players making big plays in some of these games, and a guy like Olave can sprint that five or 10 yards to close somebody down and make that game-saving tackle or a goal-saving tackle," said Kreis. "That can also be a big momentum builder. For the rest of the guys to see a really athletic, strong play like that can sometimes build momentum for everybody else."
Olave is arguably the most intimidating defender in MLS, and Andy Williams believes that physicality has been missing.
"Once you have a big guy out there, a lot of players are like 'alright, I'm not going into that,'" said Williams.Comment on this story
As Schuler evolves as a pro he's trying to add that extra bite to his game, but when you're 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds, that's not nearly as intimidating as Olave's 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame.
"I think Schuler's done a great job no doubt about it, but (Olave's) one of the best in the league," said Beckerman. "When you have him back there, there's a lot of little things that are just a nonfactor 'cause he takes care of everything and makes it look so easy. Hopefully he'll be back and stay healthy for the rest of the season."

Leaving a Legacy
Mahjong is a complex Chinese board game. I hated grown ups playing this at home when I was a kid, but it turned out that I enjoy the game as much as they do now.
Mahjong is a heirloom of a culture. I am proud that I can play it because not all young people can do it.For me it is not only about gaming and gambling, but also about the connection to the traditional culture and to the last generation in the family.

Let's get this July starting well by preparing and enjoying this sweet, low alcohol drink, right ? It may even become the star of your cocktail hours, who knows !
I labelled it as easy because, going against the common belief that wine making is a sophisticated process, this very one is within anyone's reach. Indeed, it requires no distillation or long maturing time : it's all about fermenting glutinous rice (aka sticky rice), yielding what the Chinese call jiǔ niàng and the Japanese amazake.
The natural sweetness of this well-nicknamed « sweet rice » gets enhanced through the activity of a specific wine yeast, thus turning into alcohol after a few days.
However weird this may sound, over time I came to know I have a liking for fermented foods, be they veggies or dairy products. So, no surprise I loved this one too, even though I'm not very into alcoholic beverages. The point is that its alcohol-content is nearly as low as a soft drink's, hardly noticeably actually. But given how seldom I do have alcohol, hence how much I endure its effect, I do get a slight dizzy feeling from it, which is enough for me. And believe me, you shouldn't need more either to appreciate to the fullest this refreshing, pleasant tasting wine !
By the way, while I've introduced it as a drink, it is actually rather to be eaten, similar to a thin porridge (at least in Chinese culture).
I owe a lot to two of my blogging friends for putting together this post, one of them having reminded me that this wine could be homemade, the other that rice wines are definitely a must-have. I hesitated to write about this though, both because several good recipes are already to be found on the Web and since I'm always embarrassed to present recipes that are so far from belonging to a family cooking inheritance… But in the course of my – many – trials, this recipe had revealed itself more challenging than I expected : I realized that as simple as the concept might be, it required some practises to know the « tricks ». That's why I finally thought it might be useful to share my observations, so as to add to the general knowledge about this treat. Rather than calling a recipe, let's say it's about understanding how to have it working in the framework of your kitchen, with your own tools.
Plus, once the basic method had been overtaken I allowed myself some fanciness, lending myself to some experiments that I found worthy to tell about.
My Chinese blogging friend Margot having advised me that it was also on sale, I successfully tried to make it with black glutinous rice, and have been pleasantly surprised by this nearly « full bodied » wine, more resembling a « real » alcoholic beverage.
I also enjoyed much the fermented white rice wine with added taste from the delicate osmanthus (桂花 guìhuā) flowers, of which fragrance reminds me slightly of apricot's or mango's and which are often associated to Chinese sweets and sweet soups, especially those including fermented rice.
After all, to be fair, I've appreciated to experience how you get different results with different yeasts as well as different soaking, cooking, resting times.
Regarding yeast, I could purchase two kinds in North of France's Asian shopping places.
The one on the left is the more widely available and used, and to me, it gives better results, even though the fermentation process takes a bit longer. The one on the right, slightly more greyish and coming sometimes in big patties rather than these little ones, looks less processed, so I don't even know if it may be found elsewhere than where it was imported from by my grocery ; anyway, it yields a more sugary fermented rice (too much to me), albeit faster and surer.
Here are some other important things to remember to save yourself from the most easily avoidable failures. First, you want to have all the ustensils, dishes, containers you use thoroughly cleaned and use only a pure water to soak, cook, ferment the rice. Second, the rice is to be cooked through without being soggy ; to do so, you basically only need to cook the rice as you would plain one. For me, as I don't have a rice cooker, it means in my electronic steamer, with some water, so that it's boiled with less water than for regular cooking (as steaming adds to the water content). I took inspiration of it to present you a well-working method. By the way, it is the most suitable for black glutinous rice, which is drier and needs to soak up more water to be able to ferment. But, if unlike me you have a rice cooker, then I urge you to go for it ! Or, you may also steam, which is the more traditional method and works too, at least with white rice. Then, as to the fermentation, you've just to seek a balance : too much water causes mold to form just as well as a too warm atmosphere, a too slow fermentation launch, too much yeast, a too open or too airtight container…
But though at the beginning I saw molds appearing as the sign that it went wrong, I realized that I shouldn't worry so much about that. When I asked one of the storekeepers of my Chinese grocery about it, this lady nearly mocked me, saying that this involved mold just as cheese making does, and that I just needed to remove the top to enjoy the good part staying underneath. So, even though it's better to make all we can to keep this from happening, main evidence is the taste : if it is bad, it went wrong. Otherwise, it's fine and you just need to discard the spoiled grains, saving the more than can be, especially the wine (for instance, I haven't found out yet how to avoid molds on black rice, but the wine does taste good). All depends on how fussy you are about that… My French grandma used to let grow on purpose molds over her goat cheese, so I guess I'm jaded enough from this point of vue to handle this (don't get me wrong, I can't stand rottenness, insomuch that seeing a tiny weeny worm nearly causes me a heart attack) ! Anyway, I assure you I never got sick ever since I've been making this.
Though rice wine was not really familiar to my culture and cooking habits, this one has quickly become one of my staples, because there's more to it than being a nice drink. Ever since I know how to make it, I try to always store some in the fridge, ready to use in almost endless ways : as a seasoning for some Chinese stir-fried dishes and soups (I also use it sometimes as a substitute for mirin, though the tastes are obviously different), as a salty sweet snack (thinned down with water, heated and completed with a poached egg) or even as a base for a sweet soup, with those little sticky rice balls called « tang yuan » (made of sticky rice flour). But my favorite use is no contest in bread dough, sort of like sourdough ; these english-muffin looking small buns aren't only lovely, but also super tasty (credit to my abovementioned friend Margot) !
Practical notes :
The two kinds of glutinous rices would easily be found on sale in Asian groceries, Chinese ones to be specific ; organic food shops and some hypermarkets might stock white glutinous rice, too.
Search Chinese groceries for the yeast too, but I think that at worst, you can purchase it from online Asian groceries. By the way, keep in mind that the Japanese koji is basically the same as this Chinese jiuqu that I used.
Dried goji berries are now widely available almost everywhere and at least in organic food shops. As for the osmanthus flowers, I had to order them on the Net, but if you're living in a big city, you should not have the same supply problem ; look for them at Chinese groceries or shops selling ingredients for teas and herbal remedies, for instance.
Ingredients :
Yields about 2 cups (500 ml) fermented rice, including less than 1 cup (about 200 ml) wine.
- 1 cup (~ 200 gr.) white glutinous rice (aka sweet rice) or black glutinous rice
- 1/8 distiller's yeast ball or 3 small flat cakes distiller's yeast (that is at least few pinches : it would work anyway yet take slightly more time)
- more or less 1 1,5 L unopened bottle spring water (adjust to needs)
- 1 tsp dried goji berries (wolfberries) or osmanthus flowers (optional)
Equipment needed :
- any kind of device for steaming (including a bamboo steaming basket with a lid plus a suiting wok or pot) OR a rice cooker
- a steamproof dish fitting the steaming material OR a clean cloth (cheesecloth, kitchen towel, large gauze…)
- a pair of chopsticks OR spatula/spoon (but chopsticks are definitely more convenient)
- an airtight container (glass or metal preferred to plastic – lucky me, I got along with my electronic steamer a metallic rice steaming bowl which has a suiting plastic lid, so that's what I use) OR a large bowl
- mortar and pestle OR a rolling pin
- a fine sieve /strainer
- a kettle or large pot to fill with tap water for sterilization
- a jar (at least half-pint large) (optional)
Method :
White rice wine, method 1 {« steam-boiling »}
If not made ahead, start by washing all the equipment with warm water and detergent.
Bring a generous amount of water to the boil in the kettle or pot and thoroughly scald each dish and tool.
What I'm used to do is to wash and scald all pieces of my electronic steamer, put all other things I need into it and turn it on for 10 mns or so. But if you can't do so, or in case there are some plastic pieces (such as the lid of my steamer's rice bowl) or too large pieces, it's okay to just rinse them under boiling water.
Air dry the whole by having them sitting on a very clean work surface.
Put the rice into the clean strainer and rinse it quickly under running water, or (at best) with some of the spring water, if you don't mind using much.
Transfer it to the steamproof dish and cover with 1 cup (250 ml) spring water.
Fill the bottom of your steaming device or wok/pot with enough spring water, and turn on the heat.
As the water boils, place the steaming rack or basket over it, with the steamproof dish inside, and cover.
Allow to steam for 30 mns, until all water has been soaked up and the rice looks plump.
In the meantime, grind the yeast to a fine powder with the mortar and pestle and set aside.
Using the clean chopsticks, transfer the cooked rice to the airtight container or bowl and let it cool down for 5 mns.
Stir it quickly and let it cool again for 5 mns. In the meantime, scald again the chopsticks to make sure they remain clean.
Once the rice has reached a lukewarm temperature (you should be able to estimate it by putting your palm a few centimeters above : if too much warmth is perceptible, it means the rice could still burn the yeast), sprinkle some of the powdered yeast on top of the rice and mix it into it, stirring with the chopsticks. Add some more yeast and stir again, repeating this until no yeast remains. If the rice is somewhat dry and the grains tend to stick together, add just enough spring water to be able to break up the lumps.
Using the chopsticks, even out the surface of the rice and create a hole in the middle, which enables to check the progress of fermentation (that's at least what I think it's made for).
Close the dish, using the suiting lid or cling wrap in case it is a simple bowl. Place it in a shaded place that's not too cool nor too warm, such as a switched off oven (most of the times, I let it in my cooled, switched off steamer). In winter, I assume you'd better leave it in a warmer place (stove top if there's room enough, close to a radiator…) so that the fermentation starts fast enough.
Do not open it too often, first because there's no point doing it (I can tell you in full knowledge of the cause : you won't see the work of yeast in progress ;)), plus because we carry so much bacteria that each contact represents a new occasion of contamination ! That's to say it would be enough to check it once a day.
2 to 3 days later it should be fine, which basically means the rice loosens from the sides of the dish, some liquid has formed at the bottom, and the smell has turned sweetish, slightly alcoholic (but it depends on the yeast that has been used : it might have a sour edge at this stage – no worries though, it would get better then).
If you see some fuzz here and there, do not discard the whole but take a scalded spoon and remove spoonfuls of rice where those molds appeared. If the molds look rather dark and top the rice overall, then you should throw it away and start all over again.
Stir the rice a little in order to separate the grains (remember to use scalded chopsticks or spoon), then put it into the previously sterilized jar if you like better not to leave it in the dish where it fermented (which is my preference), liquid and grains together. You can filter it if you don't plan to eat the rice, but it would be a pity especially as a part of the fermentation still occurs in the fridge. If you want a flavouring ingredient to infuse into the wine, such as goji berries or osmanthus (or whatever you like), it's also time to add it.
Close the jar and put it aside in the fridge. Once chilled, you might enjoy it straight away but its taste would improve in the course of the upcoming days, and it would keep well up to several weeks. Fermentation being basically a random process, you might feel it turns out slightly sparkling but you don't have to worry about it, at least if it suits your taste. However, watch for the sugar content's increase over time, which could become unpleasant, and even unbearable for those who hardly have a sweet tooth. That's why I make fermented wine by small batches only, which I urge you to do too (especially if you're making for the first time).
Everytime you'll want to have or use some of the fermented rice wine, take care of using a scalded spoon to scoop out the needed amount from the jar. If you like to enjoy it as a « normal » drink, you may use a sieve to filter it or rather simply pour the liquid directly from the jar to the cups or glasses, holding and pressing slightly the grains with the back of a spoon to avoid them from slipping away while squeezing out some of their juices. Anyway, once filtered, it would have a cloudy appearance, but would clarify if you let it sit a while in the fridge before drinking.
White glutinous rice, method 1 tweaked {with a rice cooker}
Proceed the same way as in method 1 up to rinsing the rice, then put it into your rice cooker and cook with the suiting amount of water according to the manufacturer's directions.
Follow method 1 for everything that comes afterwards.
White glutinous rice, method 2 {steamed}
The day before, rinse the rice in a clean and scalded sieve as mentioned in method 1, then put it into a scalded bowl with spring water to cover. Set it aside to soak overnight (or at least 5 hours on the very day you make the fermented rice).
Prepare the material as described in method 1. If you're using a bamboo steaming basket and a cloth, it's more convenient to lay the latter directly in the basket to scald and air dry it.
Drain the rice and put it directly into the steaming basket lined with the cloth.
Like in method 1, boil spring water in a wok or pot or in the suiting part of your steaming device, then set the steaming basket over it and cover.
Steam for 15 mns, then uncover and pour 1/2 to 1 cup (125-250 ml) over the rice, making sure to moisten it evenly but without disturbing it.
Cover again and steam for 15 mns more.
During the steaming time, grind the yeast as mentioned in method one.
When 30 mns steaming are over, use clean chopsticks to pick up a few grains of rice and check for doneness. If they aren't tender enough, steam for 5-10 mns more. Don't forget to scald the chopsticks once more afterwards.
Get back to method 1 for following steps.
Black glutinous rice
Proceed the same way than in method 1, up to rinsing the rice.
Place it into the steamproof dish and add 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) spring water.
Steam according to abovementioned instructions, but for 45 minutes. Grind the yeast in the mortar.
After the rice has been cooked, do the same as in method 1 (except you shouldn't need any added water to mix the yeast into the rice). Please take note that wood tools may get a purple hue from the rice, so you'd better use metallic ones to handle it (unless you don't care !).
Ferment the black rice for a slightly longer time than white one (say, 3 to 4 days), and once the wine has formed at the bottom, remove the upper half part (which would most likely be covered with a pale mold) with a scalded spoon.
Give a quick stir to the rice, transfer it to a jar (again with a scalded spoon) like described above, and refrigerate.
Enjoy by preference filtered, as a drink.
Doesn't it look like red wine ? Enjoy, but please drink responsibly !

Hello guide viewers thanks for swinging by! Now I bet you are wondering who is Jatax? Why should I use this build? Is graves any good? Well hopefully by the end of this chapter you will know a little bit about me and a bit about graves. Firstly My name is Jatax I am a Bronze Elo Player. Now I know what your thinking BRONZE what the hell why should I even look at this Noobs build? Sure I may be bronze Elo but my graves play is at diamond or higher. How do I know this? Well recently I competed in the tournament for Best Am Graves NA (AM meaning amateur diamond 4 and under) And I placed 2nd place. In this tournament I played against platinum's and diamonds who sometimes had over 1000 games as graves played. So If my graves play was any where near bronze Elo I would have been out in the 1st round! Right Now I am currently carrying my self to gold as graves with ease before the reset. I am aiming to hit plat halfway through season 4!
About Graves
In this chapter I'm hoping to better your understanding on graves whether you're a high elo player or a bronze 5 player! I find Graves to be a highly mobile Adc with amazing kill potential and a kit that allows not only chase but also escape while dishing out mean amounts of damage. Graves is a Adc who snowballs at an unstoppable rate if fed early on. If you practice Graves enough you will be able to carry yourself out of your Elo in no time!
Abilities and uses
Buckshot Offers Insane amount of damage During early and late game
Quickdraw offers an awesome chase and escape (Tip: Can be used to dash through thin walls) Remember the cd on Quickdraw is lowered by 1 sec for every auto attack hit.
Smoke Screen offers a good escape when being ganked (Tip: keep in mind Smoke Screen also deals damage)
Collateral Damage Is Graves ult this Collateral Damage offers a long range attack that deals high damage to a single enemy.(Tip: Collateral Damage can be used through walls or to kill escaping enemies.
For an awesome combo try starting off with your Quickdraw getting a few autos off then giving them a Buckshot followed off by a Smoke Screen for devastating amounts of damage.
Scorecard from a real game as graves ( we won)
Graves VS
When facing Varus graves should have an easy match up make sure to Quickdraw away from varus's ult and consistently harass him with your Buckshot. Make sure to use SmokeScreen when Varus uses Hail of Arrows to return some long range punishment.
When facing Ezreal You should be able to counter all of his abilities pretty hard as he is a skill shot based champion who deals high damage in quick amounts of time. But don't worry as graves is a bursty Adc who can melt people in seconds when using the right combo. Always save your Quickdraw to catch ezreal after he uses his Arcane Shift other than that if you stay behind your minions and constantly harass him with your Buckshot It should be an easy lane.
Against Ashe You must go in with a combo and stick with it you cant back out when facing Ashe or you will be slowed and kited into hell. Although Graves Is a Ashe counter I find this match up depends on two things. 1) The skill level of the players and 2) The support who is supporting the Adc. When Facing Ashe you need a strong cc support who can go all in and stun them. I recommend supports like Leona Or Ammumu.

Fail: I'm a scumbag millennial who literally purchased health insurance 30 seconds before scheduling a doctor's appointment. In my defense, as a PhD student I got to see a GP for free any time I wanted as part of student health services which made it cheapest to just eat the ACA fee and use my student coverage for simple stuff.
Real fail is I feel the need to buy insurance now because my left nut aches like a motherfucker and just ain't hanging right so I'm worried a GP visit won't fix it.

Kenyan Regulator Says Rate Caps Complicates Monetary Policy
NAIROBI, Capital Markets in Africa: Kenya's decision to introduce caps on commercial-lending rates is complicating monetary policy, Central Bank of Kenya Governor Patrick Njoroge said.
"With the rate caps, it's not clear which way to go," Njoroge told reporters in the capital, Nairobi, on Wednesday, a day after the central bank cut its benchmark rate by 50 basis points to 10 percent. The limits on borrowing rates may result in a "perverse reaction" among banks and lead to riskier borrowers being cut off from lending, he said.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Aug. 24 signed a law capping banks' lending rates at 400 basis points above the central bank rate to try stimulate lending in East Africa's biggest economy. Growth in private-sector credit extension has slowed every month over the past year, to a rate of 7.2 percent in July, according to central bank data.
Capping interest rates would succeed "if it catalyzes" credit growth, Faith Atiti, a senior economist at Commercial Bank of Africa, said in an e-mailed note. "So far, banks remain wary of increasing their loan portfolio as quality of assets deteriorate," she said.
Njoroge, who initially opposed legislating interest rates despite saying earlier borrowing costs "were remarkably high", refused to speculate on the effects of the law on borrowers.
"Everything could be hunky dory, on the other hand, things may not be hunky dory," Njoroge said in an interview on Wednesday. "It is important not to assume that everything will go in a particular way."
Barclays Bank of Kenya Ltd., shares slumped 6.94 percent to trade at eight shillings by 2:44 p.m. in Nairobi, heading for its lowest level since 2005.

Part 4
However, when he looked up towards the sky he was momentarily dumbfounded. Wang Dong was able to catch Xiao Xiao. He opened up his wings and maintained floating in mid-air. At this time, both of their eyes were red and Xie Huanyue felt the pressure from their presence.
"Wang Dong, put me down." Xiao Xiao's voice was cold. This usually calm girl is now furious. Huo Yuhao took the hit for her. Also, she can not be sure if the proctor teacher reacted in time. If not, Huo Yuhao would have been greatly hurt, if not dead. How can Xiao Xiao not be touched by that?
In addition, she felt as if it was her error that caused Xie Huanyue to be so close. This moment she was determined to fight.
Wang Dong closed his wings and put Xiao Xiao on the ground. His fury no less than that of Xiao Xiao. He stared intensely at Xie Huanyue. There was only one thought in his mind: "This bastard is trying to hurt Yuhao, I must kill him."
Xie Huanyue also did not rush to attack. His humongous body moved slowly towards Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. The ring on his body still glowing, maintaining the size of his body. This was his Battle Spirit's specialty. For a top Beast Battle Spirit, his goal is not just to defend but also to become a well-rounded defense and control dual Battle Spirit Master. In reality, he had already been extremely successful. Even before the examination, him, Ning Tian, and another student have already reached the Spirit Elder level and become the core students for the outer school.
"Xiao Xiao, I need 15 seconds." Wang Dong said under his breath. Right after saying this sentence, he closed both of his eyes and both a yellow and a purple ring shone simultaneously. Rings of golden aura shone around his blue wings. He raised his arms and closed the wings in front of him.
Xiao Xiao nodded but said nothing. Instead she took large steps towards Xie Huanyue. The Nine Phoenix Dancing Flute sounded especially excited. Rings of jade green lights spread out from her jade flute.
The Three Lives Soul Sealing Cauldron closed in around her as the three cauldrons surrounded her for protection.
Xie Huanyue made a sound, sat down suddenly and bounced right up. This time, he is aiming directly at Xiao Xiao. His body is his greatest weapon. Although his speed had been lessened, his confidence was still relatively high.
As his second spirit ring lit up, he was ready to punch away Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul Sealing Cauldron with his flexible arms.
However, right when he had yet to reach five meters from Xiao Xiao, suddenly, the three large cauldrons beside Xiao Xiao simultaneously released black light. In a flash, they rammed towards the center. They didn't go and collide with Xie Huanyue, but instead, collided with each other. The two spirit rings that Xiao Xiao for the Three Lives Soul Sealing Caudron simultaneously lit up.
Practically all spirit masters' spirit skills can be used in coordination, but the degree of coordination depended on the compatibility between the spirit master's battle spirit's strength and the spirit skills produced from the addition of the spirit rings.
Facing a powerful enemy, Xiao Xiao finally put out her strongest strategy.
National Treasure, Cauldron Shock.
The three cauldron fused into one and a loud noise can be heard. One huge cauldron appeared, bigger than any before. On this huge caudron, a odd symbol can almost be seen. There is a indescribable majestic feel that came along with the bang.
Xie Huanyue's arm was forced up. When his fat body collided with the cauldron, his whole body stuck to it and set in the air motionless. Rings of black lights constantly attacked his body and Xie Huanyue felt that the spirit energy within his is slowly evaporating.
Under this shock, he hurriedly circulated his spirit energy wanting to release his powerful thousand year spirit ring skill. However, to his surprise, he wasn't able to do it. His body was stuck. He was also unable to take back the spirit skill he had already released. He can't release the new skill but the spirit energy within keeped in evaporating. The huge cauldron stood towering like a mountain, not even a bit shaken by his collision.
The Nine Phoenix Dancing Flute disappeared at the moment of the huge cauldron's appearance. One can clearly see black rings also ascending around her body and her face becoming more pale by the moment.
The fusion of the two skill must have consumed similar amount of energy as battle spirit fusion skill. Adding on to the use of energy previously in the battle, Xiao Xiao definitely can not keep this up long. However, within her heart, there's only Wang Dong's words: "15 seconds". No matter what, she will try to last this 15 seconds.
Xiao Xiao was fully moved at the moment when Huo Yuhao threw her out without hesitation. At that second, she became fully dedicated to this team. Even though she is a girl, blood surged within her veins. For the team, she is willing to sacrifice.
15 seconds. A normally short amount of time. Yet, at this moment it felt extremely long.
Although Xie Huanyue was at level 32, he still began to panic seeing the determination in Xiao Xiao's eyes. She seem to be putting her life on the line. Is she crazy? This is only a new student examination afterall. Even though he's unable to understand what Xiao Xiao did to make him unmovable, he still knows that even double battle spirit cannot disobey the basic rule that the energy drainage is equal to the power exerted.
Seconds passed one by one.
The proctor teacher on the side of the examination field became nervous, he doesn't know whether or not he should end this battle. If he did, who would be the winner? Huo Yuhao woke up from the purple light attack, he clenched his fists and can see clearly with his spirit eyes that Xiao Xiao has already used too much of her energy.
"Xiao Xiao, give up." Huo Yuhao screamed. He would never want to see his pals getting hurt even if it meant losing the battle.
Xiao Xiao replied by tightening her lips and the darkness around her seem to become more powerful.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was touched by the deep determination in Xiao Xiao's eyes. Not only him, even the elderly that was chewing on the chicken leg stopped chewing and nodded in Xiao Xiao's direction.
When the last second came, a golden light shot up behind Xiao Xiao. Wang Dong's Butterfly Goddess's wings turned golden. Along with the golden light, he seemed to rise from ashes. The golden beam of light bended as his body raised higher and became a horrifying crescent shaped blade.
At this moment, the air seemed to have been ripped open and the whole battle area filled with strong spirit waves.
Seeing the huge blade, Xie Huanyue became extremely scared. Even if he has a strong defense, he knows that he can not be able to defend this blow.
The proctor teacher dare not to hesitate any longer and rushed towards the battlefield. He grabbed Xie Huanyue, but was surprised to see that he was unable to drag him away from the cauldron. As the huge golden blade getting nearer, he felt suffocated despite being a Spirit Emperor.
This is something a Grand Spirit Master can release? The teacher was too late to even release his own battle spirit. Instead he was only able to use his body to defend the blade.
It was at this time, a great suction force came from the sky and changed the course of the blade at the last second.
Midair, a red hand grabbed the golden blade, rubbed it and broke it.
The Xuan (Mysterious) Elder took a bit at his drumstick and said: "This Orlean flavored chicken leg is a bit salty today." As he speaks, he stood up and walked down the steps.
The caudron then disappeared and Xiao Xiao fainted.
The glow from the Butterfly Goddess also disappeared. However, Wang Dong didn't fall down right away. Instead, he stared at the proctor teacher and said: "We won….." After say that, he fainted as well.
"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao." Huo Yuhao ran into the battle field and hugged his two pals.
Xie Huanyue shrank to his normal size. Yet his uniform is completely soaked through. Just at the previous moment, he felt like Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong was going to kill him and there's nothing he could have done. He shivered and Xiao Xiao's eyes will be forever etched in his mind.
At the viewing stand, all the teachers are quiet. They have all completely ignored all the other battles that are happening at that moment.
The ability of the members of Huo Yuhao's team is not that surprising for the teacher. Especially due to the fact that they are all at least six rings level Spirit Emperors. What shocked them was Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's determination. Wang Dong was better, he was simply doing his best. Xiao Xiao, however, clearly overdraw her energy. This would take a long time to recover.

Dissection was formed in 1989 in Gothenburg, Sweden, by bassist Peter Palmdahl and vocalist Jon Nodtveidt. Hoping to capitalize on the emerging Scandinavian Metal scene, the duo rounded out their lineup and quickly began recording. Their debut arrived in 1993, but it would be their sophomore effort in 1996's Storm of the Light's Bane that would finally put them on the map. However, they had a major interruption when Nodtveidt and a friend were convicted of murder, and Nodtveidt was sent to prison until 2004. Their latest effort was 2006's Reinkaos
With their bleak hostility and trudging style, Sweden's Dissection is at the forefront of the Black Metal scene, always careful to meticulously assemble albums from the ground up. The result is a sound that represents a slow burn-tremendous amounts of emotion and energy right below the surface, but on top it's far more calculated. With their lead singer's murder conviction, fans were left completely unsure of their feelings towards the band and their music. It may be necessary to separate the two in order to really enjoy it, but those able to pull it off will find a rich catalog of complex Death Metal awaiting.

RAMfest 2014 Johannesburg
The car was packed, we were ready and then we suddenly realised: "We need Gumboots". This year celebrated the 8th incarnation of RAMfest which was hosted at Witfontein nearby Bronkhorstspruit, a 3-day musical festival that describes itself as "Real Alternative Music", which loosely translates into 2 stages filled with guitar wielding rock and roll inspired mayhem as well as a stage dedicated to those who love the rhythmic thumping of electronic based music. Headlining acts for this year included the likes of: Biffy Clyro (Scotland), Foals (England), Trivium (USA), Killswitch Engage (USA). Not to be outdone by their international counterpart's local bands: ISO, Gangs of Ballet, Pestroy and Newtown Knife Gang put their best foot forward and showed that they could go toe to toe with the best acts in the world. What an experience, and hopefully I'll be able to photograph again next year ...2
Khumalo and Jobe: The Traditional Wedding
I was asked to cover Khethiwe and Celani's traditional wedding which was held the same day as their official wedding day in Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal. I got to meet a lovely bunch of people from their family and friends. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone enjoyed in on the festivities. Khethiwe makes a beautiful makoti indeed! ...10
Khethiwe and Celani
I travelled down to Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal for this wedding, the weather was extremely hot and sunny (as it almost always is). This unfortunately resulted in me looking like a pink prawn during and after this wedding! It goes without saying but the bride looked stunning, the day went ahead without any glitches with the traditional wedding that followed the same day. Congratulations guys you deserve all the happiness coming to you. ...18
Pamela & McDonald's Wedding
I was asked to go to Tzaneen for this beautiful wedding, as this was my first wedding in the Limpopo Province I was thrilled to go. The wedding took place at the Letaba River Lodge, and was quite literally on the Letaba River, with a quaint jetty like aisle. Which made for some great images Stretching onto the river. As hot as what is was, I enjoyed every moment with these two awesome people. Congratulations to them. ...5

Puma Social Club
I was asked by Mahala.co.za to go to the Puma Social Club to photograph the club on a Friday evening. Fortunately for me famed rapper "AKA" was set to perform that evening so the club was filled with a great vibe and atmosphere which made for some great images, some of which I'm very proud of. The gallery that came out was named "Perfectly Imperfect". Here is the small text piece that accompanied the gallery. Born and raised in Glencoe, KZN, Janeke Wissekerke left to study Architecture at The University of the Free State where her interest in film photography was sparked. She studied it alongside her degree for a few years. Throughout her time working as an architect in SA and abroad, she pursued her longstanding relationship with photography and gained experience under photographic portrait professionals in Brisbane. Janeke's knowledge in architecture and design provides a different outlook, no matter how modest the subject. She never attempts perfection, believing in the incomplete,...0
Noma & Soloman Ashoms
It was a beautiful & elegant winter wedding at the Avianto in the Magaliesberg near Johannesburg. Guests came from far including from their hometowns; Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal & Jos, Nigeria. The day started very early as it was a morning wedding, which I personally enjoy the most! It was a little cloudy which made the conditions perfect for the images. I enjoyed this wedding tremendously because not only is Noma one of my dearest friends, but her & Solomon are truly suited & so relaxed with one another, something I think came across in all the images. Congratulations guys! ...4
oh Chevelle, I was wondering what to write here, as words would just fail how talented this band is, "religious" comes to mind - As one of my favourite bands, I jumped at the opportunity when I was asked by another newspaper to do some shots of them live at Big Top Arena at Carnival City for their SA tour all the way from Chicago. The whole aim for me was just to compose myself and be professional, as Pete Loeffler (lead guitar/vocalist), was performing just an arms length from me... A time machine would be handy to go back and watch them all over again! ...1

My husband, two teenage daughters and I are flying into Venice, staying for 2-3 days, traveling to Como, staying for 2-3 days and then traveling to the Grindelwald/Jungfrajoch area of Switzerland, staying for 4 days and then flying out of Zurich. I am torn between taking a car or the train. I would like to take the train for the experiences that go along with it but wonder if a car would be more convenient with the luggage. I am open to taking each for certain parts of the trip. Do you have any advice or recommendations?

Well returning a car in another country from where you picked it up usually means prodigously steep drop-off fees for doing so.
Trains are very modern in Italy and if you go first class there will be ample room to easily stow luggage - often empyt seats IME to put bags on too. And once in the Jungfrau Region cars are useless - banned from beyond Grindlewald and Lauterbrunnen so you will have to pay a lot to park the car - or of course return it upon reaching Interlaken.
But even in Italy cars are useless in cities where wide swaths have been made off-limits to private vehicles. And once in Como lake boats are a fun way to get around rather than driving on the congested IME roads around the lake.
In Switzerland you may want to look into the Swiss Transfer Ticket - which gives you a train ride from any border point to anyplace in Switzerland - and then a train ride out to any border or airport - like Zurich. and with it you can buy a Half-Fare Card at half-price or about $65 and get half-off everything that moves in the Jungfrau Region and Switzerland as a whole.
Anyway for lots of great stuff on trains and the Jungfrau Region in particular check these IMO superb sources: www.budgeteuropetravel.com; www.ricksteves.com and www.swisstravelsystem.com.

Does money matter? By that I mean the probable cost of dropping a rental from one country in another (if that is what you plan on doing).
As to the luggage convenience issue: I assume everyone in the group is willing and able to handle the luggage. I'll stay away from the whole "how much do you really need?" ages-old question.
If you do decide to do this (easily done) trip by rail you are going to have to decide your routing (and there are at least two you could use).

In terms of rail costs in Switzerland, how old are the children?

dukey makes a good point - any child traveling with a parent can get a Free Family Pass to match whatever the parent(s) buy and never pay a dime for any transportation ever as long as the parents pay or have a pass, etc. Comes free with Swiss Passes, Half-Fare Cards, etc.

Advice? Finish the car vs. train analysis.
What you have listed has unlikely to have covered relevant aspects.
Current thinking:
Car = convenient with luggage
Train = experience
Areas to research:
Cost = rental + drop off fee (more than 300EU) + gas + toll + parking + allowance for getting caught by ZTL (if you are stopping by towns with these) and other cameras + highway vignette in Switzerland
Size If you are coming from a country where rental prices go up gradually as the size increases, it is not the case in Italy. There is a steep rise in rental cost as car reaches full size and up. Also, if you travel like cruisers, you need a big car to be able to hide your entire luggage in trunk for security.
Transmission A default car comes with manual. If you must rent an automatic, you pay quite bit more as well reducing the availability of rental fleet.
Luggage Even if you are ok while driving, you cannot necessarily drive up to accommodations to drop your luggage. If you stay in picturesque Wengen, Mürren, etc, in Berner Oberland, you are not allowed to drive up to town. You park your car at lower ground and take what you need on an aerial gondola or train – anyway. In addition, you cannot count on having direct elevator access to your higher level rooms. If you packed heavy assuming you have a car, you will still have to carry your things up to your room if you cannot way for someone from the hotel to help you. One of my favorite inn in Italy is run by a little woman and all the rooms require two flights of stairs or higher. She is not in any position to help up carry our luggage.
A car may be essential or PITA for visiting certain areas. It depends on where you are heading.
Cost. www.trenitalia.com for Italy portion and www.sbb.ch for Switzerland portion. Swiss railpasses come in different types each including different areas of high mountain transportation. Even if you drive, you still have to sort through regional rail passes in Berner Oberland. For travel like this, rail pass in Italy does not make sense.
Luggage You take care of your own luggage. Down the underpass, up the underpass to the platform level, onto the train, off the train. There is usually an elevator somewhere.
Report Abuse
At this point I think we need more clarification from the OP on certain issues. The OP has said they might be willing to use both a car and the train for certain portions so I am wondering just how important the "luggage convenience" factor really is.
Report Abuse
greg nicely summarizes key considerations. I would add: With a train, EVERYONE (including the person who would drive) can appreciate the scenery. (And the scenery in this part of the world can be truly breathtaking!) And if weather is less than ideal, no worries! So my recommendation is to take TRAINs unless you have an extraordinarily compelling reason to use a car!
If luggage is a concern, (a) pack less and (b) consider the excellent luggage forwarding options available through Swiss Rail:
Report Abuse
Thanks everyone for your responses and input. I REALLY appreciate it.
I looked at the websites and they are great. Found that there is a jazz festival going on when we will be there - yeah!!
After reviewing the other information and getting your feedback, I agree and have decided that the train is the way to go! It is so prominent in Europe and although I am not actually going there, when in Rome, ....... Will be good to teach my 19 and 17 year olds to be flexible and how to travel (although they actually already know this) but good for the experience and to talk with/meet other travelers.
Given that, I am still not quite sure about which way to do this. Again we are going to Venice, Lake Como, Oberland, and then flying out of Zurich. Do I get a RailEurope Pass to travel all of Europe or instead a separate one for each country including the Swiss Transfer Ticket and a Half-Fare Card which might include the scenic passes? I hoped to incorporate the scenic passes into our actual moving from one touring destination to another but don't think it would work out like that.
Again, thanks so very much for your help!
Report Abuse
I would NOT get any sort of pass for your rail travels IN Italy. Why? Simply not cost effective I suspect especially if you are simply using the train to get FROM Venice to Lake Como (and BTW are you going to the city of Como or to somewhere ON the lake? that is going to make a difference including for your trip up to the Berner Oberland).
The kids are too old to benefit from that Swiss Family card
Do NOT get ANYTHING from RailEurope. Why? RE is the North American marketing arm of the combination of several European railroads (it started out as owned by the French adn Swiss national railways as a way to promote rail travel on their systems)
You can buy tickets on line at the various rail sites such as Trenitalia.com or Italiarail.com (charges a small fee for tickets) and print those tickets out at home.
You can use the Swiss fed site www.sbb.ch/en which will sell you tickets as well as any passes you might need.
Be aware that once you get up above places like Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald the various Swiss rail passes do not give 100% coverage and there are regional passes you can buy.
As to the trains and that luggage. For Venice: assuming you are staying closest to the Santa Lucia rail station be aware that it is a so-called "stub end" station and the trains back into it and trains start out from there. Get to the platforms early and be amongst the first people to board (those teenagers can help with the luggage) that way there will be plenty of luggage space.
Report Abuse
Yesterday I made a reservation at Hotel Borgo Antico which looks like it is in Como and close to the Como S. Giovanni and Como Nord Lago stations. Not sure if this is the best place to be since I would like to explore further up the Lake so I am willing to change this if it would make sense to with the next destination being Berner Oberland.
Great to know that about RailEurope. Thank you so much! Also good to know about getting on the platforms early to ensure luggage space. Yes, the teenagers will be happy to help).
In Venice, we are staying at Ca'Piscani in Dorsoduro.
So buy separate tickets from Trenitalia.com or Italiarail.com and sbb.ch/en instead of a combined pass?
Report Abuse
I would try using the Trenitalia site first. I use Italiarail which sells the exact same tickets as Trenitalia but adds a surcharge because I find it easier to use but that is ME.
I say no to a pass because passes become more economical the more you use them and for getting from Point A to B (to possibly C) in Italy would imply, to me, that point to point tickets would be more economical for you than a pass.
Do we need to get into the whole "secrets of the universe and about as controversial" question of traveling in First vs Second class? Regionals vs Frecce (higher speed, fewer stops) services?
Lake Como, or more correctly Lago di Como: a lot of people are going to tell you that being in the so-called mid-lake region (the triangle formed by the towns of Varenna-Esino/Bellagio/Menaggio) is the "better" location. And not to mention the rail possibility of traveling into Switzerland over the Bernina Pass as opposed to using the Simplon Tunnel to get to the Berner Oberland.
Report Abuse
Alright, I will check Trenitalia first.
Sure, we can address the whole "secrets of the universe and about as controversial" question of traveling in First vs Second class? Regionals vs Frecce (higher speed, fewer stops) services since I will probably learn something from it.
That is great to know that the mid-lake region of Como is the "better" location.
How would I be able to travel from the mid-lake region of Como to Berner Oberland over the Bernina Pass? I am not sure what you mean by that. What would you recommend to be the best way to get there?
Again, thank you so very much for your help!
Report Abuse
The Bernina is a major detour off the direct Italy-Brig-spiez-Interlaken route - add two days and you could fit it in - train to Milan - Tirano - St Moritz - Andermatt - Goschenen - postal bus to Meiringen - train to Interlaiken - a very scenic but cumbersome route pr St Moritz-Zurich-Ingterlaken may be a tad faster.
There are always benefits to first class and that's why so many Europeans pay extra to ride in it - that said in Switzerland the difference is IME much less but still significant.
Report Abuse
Yes, I agree that the Bernina would not make sense to do since it is a major detour.
I see on the sbb.ch website that the
Como-Milan-Brig-Spiez-Interlaken route is 6 hours and the
Lugano-Luzern-Oftringer-Bern-Thun-Spiez-Interlaken route is 5 hours
Is there a more direct route from Lugano over the Bernina Pass or Simplon Tunnel? I am still not sure what Dukey1 meant by that but it seems like that is a much better way to go.
Report Abuse
Is there a more direct route from Lugano over the Bernina Pass or Simplon Tunnel?>
Report Abuse
With your time frame, I wouldn't try the route through the Bernina Pass. It is magnificent IMO, but you have other wonderful options that won't take so much time. I'd probably take the Lugano route, but admit that I'm not familiar with the one through Milan.
I was pleased with second class. I traveled a bit off season, though, and don't know if that would make a difference.
Hope that helps!
Report Abuse
Still not completely getting it but would it make sense to take the Wilhelm Express? That looks like it goes from Lugano to Lucerne to Interlaken. We are going in July in case I did not already mention that.
Report Abuse
As I understand it, the so-called "panaromic routes" -- the named ones offered by private companies -- generally follow the same tracks used by the Swiss rail system, which means you have a choice: take the "special" train (in which case you should reserve in advance) or take the regular sbb train that travels the same tracks. If you go for one of the non-sbb routes, you may have a more direct route and you may have a seat on a train with more window space (particularly if you ride 1st class), but you will have less freedom about when to go and how to route. I could be wrong, and I trust that experts will chime in.
I went in shoulder season and didn't travel the route of the Wilhelm Express, so I can't offer specific feedback. Sorry!
Good luck!
Report Abuse
Yes there are local trains over the same route but they are slower as they stop more and you may need to change trains - like on the Glacier Express Zermatt to St Moritz - takes 8 hours on the direct Glacier Express but requires 2 or more changes of trains on the locals - can't do in one day practically.
But yes on the Bernina and Golden Pass routes locals are not that much slower and yes you can just hop on board - usually not that full - panoramic cars are more a gimmick IMO - regular trains have large windows to see the scintillating scenery.

Emotional Eating is fast becoming the 'topic' in the health and wellness sphere. And with good reason. There are a number of women turning to food to soothe, soften and suppress feelings of bordeom, shame, vulnerability, grief and stress (to name a few). And with this cycle of turning to food, comes the ever-so-likely added weight and then the emotional baggage that we un-doubtly experience when we gain weight. Insert the diet which then leads to even more emotional disaster.
One thing is for sure: Emotional eating is a nightmare.
Being passionate about children's health and wellness I want to highlight that emotional eating is not just an 'adult thing'.
Not at all.
In fact in this post I openly shared my own experiences with emotional eating and how I learned to turn to food and to use food as a 'security blanket'. Food became a big warm hug, a friend, a companion.
Today I see children using and being taught to use food in the ways I previously described.
Children are learning to associate food with emotional comfort when food is used to:
+ Cheer them up when they are crying
+ Occupy them
+ Re-direct their behaviour
+ Praise children
+ Bribe/ coerce children
We are- whether we see it this way or not- using food to condition certain behaviour in children. And in doing this, we are teaching them that food makes us feel happy, loved, cared for, entertained, comforted.
And yes food is delicious and it should make you happy, as there (in my opinion) is nothing better than enjoying a meal with good company. Yet, eating food or being given food when it is not food that you truly need or want, is not eating. It's emotional eating. And it sets up the link betwene emotions and food very successfully.
With adults it is encouraged that you start to tune into what it is that you truly want (and need). You ask yourself 'what is it that my hungry heart really wants?'. In my examples above the children aren't directly asking for food (in my case no, yours they might be!). They are asking for something and while food might solve it, it's not going to solve the issue of what they are really wanting in the long run.
3 tips to help avoid your child 'emotionally eating':
1. Unpick what it is your child is communicating to you.
Screaming could be asking for your attention
Acting out could be asking for a hug
Boredom could be a sign of loneliness
◊ Tell you're child that you 'hear' them. That you 'understand' that they are _____(e.g. angry, upset, worried). That you are here for them.
2. Respond without using food
Responding to your child who is screaming might look a little like this: "You're really angry and upset. Can I give you a hug to make you feel better?"
A child who is crying (who might be after your attention) could benefit from hearing: "____(child's name) you look sad/ upset. Let's go and sit together on the couch for a bit, until you feel better"
◊ Offer them a hug. Some 1:1 time together. Play a special game. Just sit- and be there- with your child.
3. Talk about it
If your child is upset and angry or even lonely talk about what they can do to make themselves feel better.
Note: Getting out of the 'problem pitt' is a fantastic way to reframe a situation for the better…and a skill which children are completely capable of learning from a very early age (preschool age- 4 year olds). This step is about putting one foot in front of the other to make positive changes to their current state of being.
You as the adult will need to help your child to learn the steps out of the 'problem pitt'. By following the above steps you are modelling to your child a way to approach tuning into themselves (which is never ever, ever a bad thing!).
Example action steps:
Go outside and find a quiet spot to sit and take the edge off the gunk they are feeling.
Lay down briefly in bed/ on a bean bag/ under a tree/ on the trampoline/ hide until you feel better (a client of mine loves to hide behind the curtains in her mother's bedroom, to re-organise her body when she's feeling 'overloaded').
Read a favourite book
Find and adult and let them know how you feel
Play with a favourite toy
Have a drink of water
If you enjoyed this post, please help to spread this message of love to other parents. Together we can help parents to be more responsive to what their children are truly communicating to us, rather than assuming food is the answer, or food is what they want (and need).

Italy: Rome elects first female mayor
Anti-establishment candidate Virginia Raggi has swept to victory in Rome's mayoral race, becoming the first woman to take charge of the Italian capital.
Raggi, a candidate for the anti-globalisation and anti-corruption Five Star Movement, took 67 per cent of the vote.
Her victory came alongside another female Five Star candidate, Chiara Appendino, taking the mayoralty of Turin, a stronghold of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's centre-left Democratic Party.
Raggi takes of the Eternal City in the midst of a seemingly eternal financial crisis. Rome has debts of more than €13bn (£10bn) - twice its annual budget - and serious problems with its public services, from transport and housing to roads and rubbish collections.
In 2014, Renzi's government approved a €570m emergency bailout for Rome's council after the then-mayor warned that otherwise essential services would have to stop. The cash was used to pay city employees and ensure transport and waste collections were maintained.
Rome's previous mayor, the Democratic Party's Ignazio Marino, resigned last October following an expenses scandal.
"I will be a mayor for all Romans. I will restore legality and transparency to the city's institutions after 20 years of poor governance," Raggi said.
Five Star was launched in 2009 as a protest movement by comedian and actor Beppe Grillo but has steadily made electoral gains. In the 2013 general election, it took over a quarter of the vote for the Chamber of Deputies.

First, let me tell you a story and hopefully explain the instrument's name. When I was three or four years old my grandfather, an Italian old man, came to me and said.
– Son, you're always messing around with music and drumming with stuff around the house, I'm gonna give you a piano.
I said – No grandpa, the piano is too big, I want an electric guitar.
Then he said to me – Well, so I'm gonna give you a piano that fits your size and if you like it I'm gonna give you a big one.
Well, I probably messed around with that little toy piano a lot but I just came to realize its value when I was already an adult and found it again on my basement.
It's not perfectly tuned, it's a worn and aged little piano, it's got a lot of character, it makes some noise when we release some keys, and it's beautiful. Obviously we at HeadlessBuddha Samples sampled it through some worn cassette tape but this time we wanted to capture more subtleties and details than we usually do. I think it's our best Kontakt instrument to date and we're very proud to present it to you.
Grandpa Toy Piano Features:
7 velocity layers and 2 round robins per note plus release samples.
1 Kontakt instrument.
44.1kHz/24-bit .wav format.
All recordedthrough cassette tape.
A set of 18 custom impulse responses.
550MB installed.

In the last few days I've seen a few blogs I read celebrating their 4th birthday. I'm not sure what was going on this time 4 yrs ago, but it must have been blogworthy :) Congrats to you guys…. sorry I can't remember who you are just now! (that's the hazard of reading so many feeds, I've found!)
On the other hand, I'm celebrating a 2 months of blogging. The first thing is to say that it seems like so much more time than that! At the risk of sounding like an utter dork, blogging has become an integral part of my everyday. Even when I'm not actually writing a lot of posts, I'm often thinking about them. I've discovered that it's relatively rare for me to blog 'off the cuff' in response to something I've just happened upon. Although, I guess, that's what my daily links do, in a way. Blog posts actually take some time for me to craft… longer than I'd originally expected, but not so long that I actually go back and proof read them before I send them live…! Maybe next month (when WordPress launches its spellchecker!)
So, two months down and I'm still here… clearly this is not a fad. And I'm addicted to more than Google Analytics now. I finally put down some cash for BlogBeat. As I've discussed in the past, it's far from a perfect stats package, but compared to other alternatives I've tried (paid and free), it gives me most of what I want. I still use it in combination with Google Analytics, and will continue to do so. And, I'm still waiting for the day that MeasureMap finally send out their beta invitations. I have high hopes…!

... remember that?
Maybe it was a long time ago?
Perhaps you'd drunk a lot of wine?
Or you might have been doing air quotes under the table when you said "like"?
Well, someone must have said it because the Times announced TimesPeople this week.
So what, exactly, is a social network built around the New York Times--besides a colossally strange idea? Well...
It's not a social network like Facebook or MySpace — you won't have Times friends, and it won't get you Times dates.
Which is too bad, because the ability to accumulate friends and get dates is pretty much the entire driving force of most successful social networks.
But no! Instead:
Instead, you'll assemble a network of Times readers. Then you'll be able to share interesting things on NYTimes.com with others in the network.
Because, apparently, sharing via a social bookmarking site like Delicious, sharing straight links with your friends on Facebook, or doing social recommending on Digg didn't quite cut the mustard for the needs of New York Times audiences.
Look, I get it: technology is neat. It's technically a very cool idea that you can sift through a paper as dense as the Times in a social way. But is there really a need to do that?
It feels to me like a misunderstanding on how people are consuming news online: People read widely. They share links already, via e-mail, blogs, and the other sites I mentioned above (and another bakers dozen of sites I didn't mention). News is spreading virally more and more. And friends are trusted sources at a time that the media is becoming less trusted on a daily basis.
But nobody reads one source--even a "paper of record," like the Times. People, especially the kind of news junkies that TimesPeople would want to attract, read dozens of news and opinion sites, increasing their touch even further with aggregator sites tossed into the mix as well.
So why then would anyone take part in social news sharing that locks you into a single site both in terms of content, but also in terms of access?
If I want to share a Times story using TimesPeople, I can only do it with other TimesPeople users. That's a pretty limited scope. But beyond that, if I have a nice network of TimesPeople users and I want to share with them a related story from another site, I'm SOL on that as well.
It's such an outmoded way of thinking--the site-as-an-island mentality of the 90s--that I've literally combed the 41-point FAQ a few times over to make sure I'm not missing something. But as best I can tell, I'm not. That's it: a lockbox for your Times links, accessible from nowhere but the Times and sharable with nobody but other people on the Times site (though they do allow a feed out to Facebook, another walled garden. Have fun with that. I'll stick with Google Reader and Delicious.
