Luke Bryan
As country music's hottest star, Thomas Luther Bryan, better known as Luke Bryan, is making his way to stardom with only 7 years under his belt. Born and raised in Leesburg, GA, Luke grew up spending most of his time on his father's peanut farm. All the while, he was still pursuing his musical interests and by the age of 14, his family got him his first guitar and a year later, he was playing for small crowds at local bars. After graduating high school in , he had plans of moving into Nashville and starting his country music career however, this was stalled when his brother passed away. He stayed home and attended Georgia Southern University while helping out his father on the farm. It wasn't until a few years later that he moved to Nashville and soon after, was signed by Capitol Records to a recording contract. In August of 2007, Bryan released his debut album, I'll Stay Me, co-writing all but one of the 11 songs released.
From then on, the country music industry knew they had a superstar in their hands. In 2009, his 2nd album, Doin' My Thing, was released which had hit singles "Do I" as well as "Rain is a Good Thing" and "Someone Else Calling you Baby." 2011 marked the release of his third studio album, Tailgates & Tanlines, which peaked at #1 on the Top Country Albums and number two on the Billboard 200. "I Don't Want This Night to End," "Drunk On You," and "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" all reached number one on the country charts, all leading to Bryan's great success as a country artist. In 2013, he had two album releases; his Spring Break...Here to Party album is a compilation of songs from his first four spring break themed EP's. His fourth album, Crash My Party, has seen the most success and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and the Top Country Albums chart. Bryan is the first country artist to have back to back spots in the Billboard Country charts with "Play It Again" at number one and "This is How We Roll" with Florida Georgia Line at number two.
Happily married to his college sweetheart, Caroline Boyer, and with his two sons, Bo and Tate, Bryan is a great place in his life. He is currently on his Crash My Party tour, performing all of his latest hits from his newest album.

Threats to Taric with this build
|**Click on champions to see explanations on the match-ups.** Ashe is particularly easy to beat in lane because she has no mobility to dodge stuns.
Hello! My summoner name is TJ13610. Last season I went from Silver 5 to Platinum 4 in just two months with this build strategy. This season I plan to make it to Diamond in the first couple months of the season now that I've gotten pretty good with this gem of a champion. There's a lot more to come as I add information and this guide is a work in progress right now. I do honestly believe Taric to be one of the easiest ways to climb the ladder fast, even if you haven't played much support before. Taric, having only one skill shot, makes for pretty simple gameplay only requiring general game knowledge and a little practice to play well. His ult is in my opinion the best in League of Legends and can save even the worst of teammates from certain death. Taric is really simple to learn but has some strategies that take a fair amount of practice. I plan to talk about those here. Thanks for looking at my guide and if you have any questions or comments feel free to message me or add me in game, I really want to see this champion get a little more recognition and use in matches.

What Arе Home Equity Loans?
If уоu'vе еvеr considered tapping into your home's equity, the following questions саn hеlр уоu decide whether home equity loans аrе the right strategy fоr уоu.
How Do They Work?
Home equity іѕ the difference between the market value оf your home and what уоu ѕtіll оwе оn the mortgage. Sо іf your house іѕ valued аt $300,000 and уоu ѕtіll hаvе $260,000 outstanding оn your mortgage, your equity would bе $40,000.
Home equity loans enable уоu tо borrow аgаіnѕt that equity. Theѕе loans аrе аlѕо known аѕ second mortgages bесаuѕе theу аrе a second lien on the property (the primary mortgage being the first), that uѕеѕ your house аѕ collateral.
Hоw Muсh Cаn Yоu Borrow?
With mоѕt Home Equity loans, уоu саn borrow uр tо 80% оf the amount оf your home's equity. Fоr the case аbоvе, with $40,000 іn equity, the homeowner could borrow a maximum of $32,000.
Hоw іѕ a Home Equity Line оf Credit Different?
Many people confuse a Home Equity Line of Credit with a Line of Credit. A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is secured against the equity in your property, whereas a Line of Credit (LOC), which is accessible through the banks are not secured.
The general guideline іѕ that a LOC іѕ bеѕt fоr those who nееd access tо varying amounts оf money fоr ongoing expenses, whereas a HELOC іѕ better suited tо those needing a specific amount fоr оnе large expense, lіkе a home renovation.
What About Interest Rates?
HELOC's typically hаvе variable interest rates, while LOC's are fixed interest rates. Bоth аrе typically pegged tо аn institution's prime rate, and аrе оftеn significantly lower than those charged fоr vehicle loans, credit cards and personal loans. Furthermore, HELOC rates are much lower than LOC because of the security in the property they are attached to.
What аrе the Pros and Cons?
On the plus ѕіdе, HELOC's рrоvіdе low-cost credit fоr important expenses. In extreme cases, the risks аrе that the home market slows and уоu end uр owing mоrе than the value оf your home, оr that уоu overspend and default, which means the loss оf your home.
The other benefit is that the HELOC unlike the mortgage is compounded on simple interest on the monthly balance and you pay interest only. If possible, it is suggested that you also pay down the principal as you can then keep ahead of the large debt you incur.
The other benefit is that the HELOC is tax deductible if you use the funds to invest in mortgages (lending your money) or rental property purchases.
The major con is that not everyone can qualify for a HELOC as you must have enough equity in your home and you must be able to qualify for two mortgages – essential the first through a regular mortgage and the second, which is the HELOC.
Fоr mаnу people the pros outweigh the соnѕ. Tо bе sure if a HELOC is right fоr уоu, іt іѕ bеѕt tо consult with a mortgage professional, such as myself.
Thinking of trying to secure a HELOC? Call or drop me a message today and let's start discussing how to secure you not just the best rate, but also the best long term solution to whatever you might need it for.

Day trip from Venezia: Padua or Vicenza?
Report Abuse
I have been to both Padua and Vicenza. Both are easy to do by train.
For me, it would be hands down Vicenza. If you have an interest in Palladio, then my suggestion doubles for Vicenza. Be sure to check ahead on the days and times the various villas, etc. in Vicenza are open. Don't miss Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza. It is absolutely beautiful. There is a wonderful street market, but don't remember the day.
OTOH, Padua is a great town for wandering around, and if you are really into Art and Art history, or perhaps very religious, you would want to visit the Scrovegni Chapel. I was an Art teacher and painter, though, and will admitt that I did not find it all that interesting except for the historical context in which it was done.

All in all, Vicenza has the more important sights, no doubt, with the exception of Padova's Scrovegni Chapel, which is (personal tastes and preferences aside, Sassafrass) one of the truly great treasures in the world history of art. On the other hand, Padova has definitely the much better vibe, is a much more lively and intriguing city, and one of Italy's best places for food shopping. By the way, Padova can also be done by bus from Venice (easily, cheaply and reasonably quickly), and the bus route follows the villa-lined Brenta Canal, so that's definitely preferable to traveling by train.
Report Abuse
been to both and prefer Vicenza for its gaggle of Palladian buildings and generally IMO a cuter more romantic town than more work-a-day and urban Padua. But you can't go wrong.
Report Abuse
I would vote for Padua for the truly amazing Scrovegni Chapel (and I am not that into art) and the mint coffee drink at Pedrocci!!
Report Abuse
Padova has a big city feel; Vicenza has a small town feel (not a village, more like what the British would call a county town).
Pretty much all of Vicenza closes down for siesta; Padova is larger.
In addition to the Scrovegni Chapel (deeply moving artistic experience) and attached museum, Padova has the Basilica of St Anthony, Donatello's statue of Gattamelata, Palazzon della Reggione, and the Prato delle Valle, the largtest in Europe. These are all world class.
Vicenza has wonderful Palladian buildings including the Basilica, the Captain's House, and the Teatro Olimpico. You might be able to get a tour to the Villa Rotonda on the right day. These are all places that people travel the world to see.
In other words, choice is impossible. Flip a coing or decide between a city and a town.
Report Abuse
DH and I trained to Padua from Venice and to Vicenza from Verona. From Venice, Padua is almost half the train time.
If you want to see Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, you need to make reservations unless things have changed. Other things in Padua include the old college-friend enjoyed the tour of the medical school. In addition to what's mentioned above there's a nice market, very old bar. We missed the main duomo because of lunch time closing there.
In Vicenza, we took a taxi to La Rotunda and took a bus back to town. Try to go on a week day and buy 2-way bus ticket from tobacco shop. Or remember to make a deal with the taxi driver to come fetch you later. We didn't have phones with us. We walked all around but didn't get the same vibe as mentioned above. It was on a Sunday though.
As for the river trip to see the Palladio homes, those were never offered when we were in Venice (March) so I can't give you any info. Would love to do it. Have heard that the Villa Barbara (sp?) is open more than others-you might be able to get a tour to that. Please report back!
Report Abuse
What about Verona? Or just a bit further, Mantua?
Report Abuse
Why not visit both Padua and Vicenza? They are on the same Venice-Milan train line and you could see the highlights of both in a long day. Padua is bustling, lots of students, very walkable. Vicenza is wealthy, traditional, also a pleasure to walk.
I would visit Padua first while the fabulous and extensive market is going strong, visit Pedrocchi for a coffee and see the Capella Scrovegni.
Then continue to Vicenza to see the Palladian palazzi and Teatro Olimpico. I believe La Rotonda's interior is open only on Wednesdays, you need to check that.
The burchiello resumes its trips in March. I enjoyed it enormously on my umpteenth trip to Venice but would not recommend that you use your time that way. Villa Barbaro at Maser is well worth visiting, as is Villa Emo, but I think you would need a car.
Report Abuse
DH and I will be in Venice this May, and are considering taking a day trip to Padua and Vicenza.
If Ackislander is correct about Vicenza closing down for a few afternoon hours, would it be wise to depart from Venice train station and get off at Vicenza first (in the morning) then visit Padua on the way back?
Report Abuse
If you are looking for cute, quaint, atmospheric places to "wander" and "soak up" as a generic sort of travel thing in Europe, it really doesn't matter if you go to Vicenza, Verona, Padova, Mantova, Treviso, Ferrara, -- or any number of small towns near Venice. They all have that. All the towns "close down" for lunch.
Otherwise, all these towns have drastically different histories and cuisines and styles of art, so if that matters to you, then read about each town and decide if you would rather see Palladio or the Palazzo Te, or the works of Giotto or the Gonzagas, a Roman arena or a Romanesque church, or eat pumpkin ravioli or fat pasta with duck.
Report Abuse
Just wanted to add to this. Based on franco's recommendation, we will look at taking the first bus of the day to Padua from Venice.
Recently received an article from my sister (a Northwestern alum) that is the story of how a "new" Donatello was recently discovered...the crucifix in the Santa Marie dei Servi church in Padua. http://www.weinberg.northwestern.edu/alumni/crosscurrents/2011-2012-fall-winter/articles/marco-ruffini.html
Another good reason to visit.
Can anyone tell me what time the markets open? Where is this coffee shop (Pedrocchi)? And anyone have a specific place to pick up local Tuscan olive oils and Pecorino Ramano?
Report Abuse
If you type "pedrocchi" into maps.google.com, the first item that come s up is "Pedrocchi, Padova, Italy"--the place you want. It is right in the center of town, not far from the main market.
Report Abuse
On you way into town and the markets (open mornings except Sun and Mon,) you will pass the Caffe Pedrocchi, a large freestanding bulding with open doors, on your righthand side. The loggias surrounding the two market piazzas are full of tempting food shops.
I will finally have a chance to enjoy shopping in all this plentitude in September while we are staying in an apartment nearby.
Report Abuse
Both cities are wonderful. Padua has about 220,000 people and isn't even a little bit quaint, though it has the Scrovegni Chapel and many other things. It also has trams.
Vicenza is half that size and most of its modern town is away from the Palladian center.
I went to both AND Verona, which is entirely different from either. Mantua, one day.

I love threads like this. I have been to Padua and loved it. This thread makes me want to visit Vicenza now too. So, thank you, Fodors!

If you have any interest in architecture, walking around Vicenza is like being in a dream. I might even choose it over Venice to live in. But maybe not.

PS Want to correct myself. It is Santa Maria dei Servi.

So, Ackislander or anyone else, can we see both Vicenza and Padua easily in a day, from Verona?
I really want to see the Scrovegni Chapel, but didn't realize that Padua is a fairly big city. Probably, though, the historic centre is fairly compact?
Report Abuse
Sarge, hello: both shops and the market are closed Wednesdays. In the vaults beneath Palazzo della Ragione (the medieval town hall), there are plenty of wonderful cheese stores, my favourite is Da Roberto, http://www.daroberto.com/index.htm
Of course, pecorino romano is the worst choice among Italian pecorini; and you'll be hard-pressed to find "local Tuscan olive oil" - Tuscan products are hardly local in Padova, and there is no local olive oil in Padova whatsoever.

keith and i walked from the train station in padova to the scovengi chapel/petrocchi cafe area/

there is lots of high-end shopping in padova--louis vuitton, prada, etc.
one thing to remember is that as most people speak at least some english in venice, many people in padova do not or do not like to speak english/

I would well and truly suggest a trp up the Brenta Canal, we drove from Venice up the canal, throuh Padua and stayed in Vicenza for two nights. I would echo the above, in at Padua has the feel of a large sprawling. Vicenza feels perfectly balances with upmarket shops and a more up market feel. The old town has the feel of being 300 years old rather than medIeval.
We could have "sunk" into Vicenza and stayed a week or month......

franco- don't leave me hanging. What is the best pecorino to buy? I love pecorino. If I'm going all that way...
I will be in Venice, Padua, Milan, Florence, Pienza, Montepulciano, Orvieto and Rome.
SO, what is the best pecorino and in which of these cities am I most likely to find it? (I would love to take home a whole wheel!)
Thanks, franco, and everyone for the input. I truly appreciate it. This forum always makes my Italy trips so much better! Grazie mille!!!!!!!!

I have visited both cities and preferred Vicenza but Padua is also worth a visit.
We took the Brenta Canal boat trip from Venice and saw Palladio's Villa Malcontenta. We chose to leave the boat when they stopped for lunch as the other places to be visited were not Palladian. We took the bus back, easy to do. We bought tickets for the shorter portion. We enjoyed the boat trip.

I think a day each makes more sense if only to give you time to have a nice long lunch between morning and afternoon openings.

I really don't think you can get much of a feel for Vicenza in half a day. If I couldn't give it most of a day, see at least Teatro Olimpico, and have a good meal, I would probably not go. I would choose a day in Vicenza over a day in Paduva.

Thanks for the advice. We have two days to visit both, but since they seem to be so close by train, I thought it might be an option.

Sarge, the best pecorino types are Sardinian and Tuscan; plus (and that's, though from Tuscany too, a different kind again) pecorino di Pienza. Even though you are going to Pienza, however, I don't suggest you buy a wheel of pecorino di Pienza, because even old Pienza pecorino is not as hard as other pecorini, i.e. still relatively soft and moist, and I'm not sure whether it would survive the trip. You'd perhaps better buy Sardinian or standard Tuscan pecorino stagionato (stagionato = old), and every good cheese store throughout Italy will sell them, of course also Da Roberto. Personally, I think the most interesting of all pecorini is (old, dry and gently smoked) Fiore Sardo.
Report Abuse
franco, thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
I actually had the opportunity a couple years ago (in Pienza) to taste pecorino at different ages. It was amazing how much difference there was in the taste of young vs old cheese. And I'm with you...the older, the better. I will most assuredly pick up some pecorino from Da Roberto!
Since you're here... ... my daughter is a very good cook. She is going to be fixing us a couple of dinners in Venice this trip. What fish/seafood would you recommend we look for in Venice? Is the Rialto market the best place to buy? (I am no connoisseur. As a matter of fact, I don't care for fish very much. But something mild and prepared simply will always be fine with me.) What will be plentiful and fresh in October in Venice?

"I admire the strenuous tourist who sets out in the morning with his well-thumbed Baedeker to examine the curiosities of a foreign town, but I do not follow in his steps; his eagerness after knowledge, his devotion to duty, compel my respect, but excite me to no imitation. I prefer to wander in old streets without a guidebook, trusting that fortune will bring me across things worth seeing; and if occasionally I miss some monument that is world-famous, more often I discover some little dainty piece of architecture, some scrap of decoration, that repays me for all I lose."

―from THE SKEPTICAL ROMANCER: Selected Travel Writing by W. Somerset Maugham
Maugham was one of the seminal writers of the twentieth century, and his travel writing has long been considered among his finest work. Now, acclaimed travel writer Pico Iyer maps out a masterful tour of these vivid, evocative pieces that are collected here for the first time. Maugham worked as a secret agent in Russia, published novels in London, staged plays in New York, and traveled throughout Europe, Asia, India, and the United States, chronicling his travels, wherever he went, with exceptional insight. Beginning with "In the Land of the Blessed Virgin" and culminating in "A Partial View," Iyer selects vignettes of Maugham's razor-sharp prose that track his transformation from a boyish traveler in Spain to a worldly man of letters. This is Maugham at his most keenly observant, direct, and powerful. READ an excerpt here: http://knopfdoubleday.com/…/the-skeptical-ro…/9780307272126/

Call for Papers
We are pleased to invite you to the 4th "Cloud of Things" (CoT17) workshop in conjunction with the 13th International Intelligent Environments Conference in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
This workshop will continue to explore the synergy offered by combining the user-centric approach to Internet of Things, Web services, Cloud Computing, Smart Sensing and Environments and embedded computing which are often discussed separately, each at their own specialist conference. However, practical deployments of these system are likely to be combinations of techniques from these hitherto separate research areas; the Cloud-of-Things workshop is an opportunity to bring together researchers from these areas to enable them to discuss the issues in a more holistic way so as to identify possibilities for synergy and cross-fertilization.
The next wave of Internet applications, will move beyond managing data to empower people to interact with the physical world which forms the essential fabric of our lives. It promises to facilitate connecting everything in a person's life from bathroom scales through cookers to cars (facilitating smart-homes and cities), through environmental sensing (enabling government, company and citizen led enterprises) all of which have the potential to have a massive impact on society as a whole. There are formidable challenges in delivering this vision that vary from technology to sociology and political issues. The key technology enablers of this new wave of internet applications are the Internet of Things, Web services, Cloud Computing, Intelligent Environments and embedded computing which are often research as separate topics. In order to provide an opportunity for researchers from the often diverse research communities involved to meet and explore research synergy, we have organized this workshop which we have labelled the "Cloud of Things".
Concerning financial drivers, some estimates suggests that this market could be worth between 22 billion and 50 billion dollars (made up of some 16 billion connected devices) by 2020. These figures seem plausible as there are already said to be of the order of 8 billion embedded-processors and around 1 billion smart phones produced each year, Thus, we believe this workshop is timely and invite you to join us in vibrant London to discuss the opportunities for research that this these exciting developments offer.
As such the coverage of this workshop is relatively broad and covers topics such as (but not limited to, we encourage submissions to any area that has relevance to the CoT):
- Personalisation techniques
- End-user programming techniques
- Pervasive health applications
- Software Tools
- System framework architectures
- Energy Harvesting systems
- Intelligent systems for Smart Environments
- Digital Ecosystems
- Virtual and mixed realities
- Social issues
- Business models
- Education
- Internet-enabled Embedded systems

With that spirit in mind, and to swim against the conventional theory that summer ends on Monday, we decided to put together a "last blast" of summer songs mix.

So here we are at Ultra Marathon number 6 – how on earth did that happen? Of all the Ultras on my calendar, it goes without saying that this was the one I was eagerly anticipating. You see I'd done my homework. After the amazing experience of Sierre-Zinal last year (see previous post), I was anxious to go back to Switzerland and do another race. Could any race top that? It would be a tall order but the Eiger Ultra 51k looked as if ticked all the boxes. The 51k was the middle option of 3 race distances offered – the others being 16k and the more challenging 101k. One look at the promotional video in December and I was signed up within days.
I managed to twist Elaine's arm (okay, it didn't take much effort!) and we entered ourselves as part of the mixed team race. Looking at winning times from previous years I fancied our chances of a podium place. We were also going to make a proper holiday of it too (holiday being a euphemism for a week of mountain running). Unfortunately, Elaine's stress fracture hadn't fully mended and she had to drop down to the 16k race 😦 We still managed to record some sizeable climbs over the week though 🙂
Preparation for this race had been nothing specific. 3 Ultras, a marathon and a few long hilly runs meant I should on paper have the stamina to see this one out. I hoped all my hill races last year would stand me in good stead too. I mean, just how do you prepare for 32 miles and over 11,000 feet of climbing??? – that's more ascent than I do in an average fortnight!. I tried not to panic about what lay ahead.
The race starts and ends in Grindelwald, the largest ski resort in the Jungrau region. The town boasts 3 noticeable attractions nearby- the Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch peaks which dominate the skyline and cannot fail to get those racing juices flowing. The day before the race we both registered and my gear got the all clear at the kit check. Then it was on to the race briefing via a wee photo shoot.
The race start time had been brought forward an hour to 5:45 am due to some heavy rain forecast in the later afternoon. The plan was to try and get the majority of the 51k racers home before we got wet. The slower 101k runners were just going to need their waterproofs. So, alarm clock set for 3:45 am, it was straight to bed after the race briefing.
I arrived back in Grindelwald about an hour before the race started. Elaine kindly dropped me off in the car before sensibly going back to her bed. The good news was that due to the recent heatwave, the temperature was very pleasant at 4:45am. I just couldn't imagine loitering around in a vest & shorts at this time of morning in Scotland would be much fun. The sun started to rise and it was time to head to the start.
Having no idea where to place myself, the logical place seemed to be in the front row!!!
The klaxon sounded at precisely 5:45 (that's Swiss efficiency for you) and I boldly settled into a top 10 position within the first mile on the road section. After about 2 miles the first real climb of the day came sharply into view. You'll notice the abundance of walking poles from the pics that follow. I was in a minority who didn't have a pair..and boy was I found wanting on those climbs. I'll know for next time.
After an endless climb up to and beyond the 1st checkpoint, the views really started to open out.
And the trails were becoming slightly more runnable.
It was hard to know where to look as this was what was behind you.
The next checkpoint (10 miles) was shared with the 101k runners. They had set out some hours before us. It was great to see them in such good spirits. This shot has that checkpoint just coming into view.
I must stop taking photos at some point, I'm meant to be racing! MOOOVE over please cow!
Morestunning scenery and some photo opportunities
The views while running along the side of the mountain are quite awe inspiring. It really doesn't take much effort to put one foot in front of the other.
After 11 miles of climbing and soaking up the views there was a very welcome 2 mile descent to checkpoint 3 at 'Oberlager Bussalp'. Unfortunately, this wasn't a Swiss Alpine brewery but just a table with a collection of sweet, salty and savoury snacks. I took some extra time to stop here and refuel, knowing what was around the corner.
My pre-race research, as usual, had involved finding Strava traces from previous participants. The steep 2 mile climb up to Faulhorn (highest point on the course & the half-way point) is what instanly grabs the attention. 2 miles and 2000 feet, after 13.5 miles of climbing already, is always going to be tough.
By this stage I was really struggling and questioning whether I'd get to the top let alone complete the 2nd half of the course. Runner after runner passed me with the familiar power walk stance aided by poles. Eventually, after about an hour of blood sweat and tears, I'd reached the top.
Mountain rescue formed the only audience just before the summit. Fortunately, I'd timed it just right to witness the chopper taking off. Or maybe they were offering me a lift to the finish?
Of course, I had to get a couple of photos at the summit (trying my best to still look fresh!)
As a means of a half-time interlude, here's a collection of official race photos:
Having made the climb up to the highest point in just over 4 hours I was aware that like any long hilly event, the race was just about to begin. Unfortunately, this didn't bode well for me. Having been to the Physio twice in the run up to the race, my ankles were not in the best shape for the long technical descent. I resolved to take my time and soak up the views. This was after soaking up some pepsi, cake, crisps and anything else I could get my hands on at the summit checkpoint.
One of the highlights of coming down is the approach to the checkpoint at Schynige Platte. It's just 'wow'.
It's all too easy to look just a few yards ahead of you when descending for fear of falling over. It's amazing what you notice when you take the occasional look up though, like this Saltire in someone's garden in the middle of nowhere! I could think of worse places to live…
The trail followed on through a forest section which had a short and very unwelcome climb but did boast some nice views down the valley. The drops were steeeeep though:
The final checkpoint is in the small village of Burglaunen, 4 miles away from the finish. I was particularly looking forward to this checkpoint as the race menu had pasta being served here (remember – an Ultramarathon is a big picnic with a few runs thrown in). In fact, there was pasta, fresh fruit, coke, water, juice, crisps, salted nuts, gels, bread, cake etc- I definitely made sure I got my money's worth here.
Burglaunen is also one of the last rail stations before Grindelwald. If the train arrives just as you're about to cross the railway track, you have to wait a few minutes until it passes. Unfortunately I was out of luck – no train in sight.
The last four miles were along the road/trail which ran parallel to the river. Having never really bothered about positions or time up until this point I decided to put the camera away and tried to put the foot down. I was now cruising home in 10 min/mileing! I did however manage to pass a few people and I still had a smile on my face so I guess I was doing something right.
The last section of the race had us coming through the main street of the town and it was really nice to receive the applause and encouragement of so many people. I crossed the line in 7:40:36. I was tired, ecstatic and in need of more cake. The race organiser thrust his microphone towards me and got me to say a few words to describe the race. Oh dear. I suddenly lost the ability to form coherent sentences and babbled on about being in a state of nirvana throughout the race! Seriously, where did that come from Steve…? Anyway, after the photos were done, I caught up with Elaine, who had also done very well in her race, and enjoyed post-race coffee and cake.
Would I do this race again?
Hell yes. It's unbelievably beautiful, very well organised and surprisingly quite doable. After completing it, it comes as no surprise to me why it was voted the world's no.1 trail race in Runners World. Although I think they were referring to the 101k race, the 51k option should be considered no less inferior. If you're reading this and thinking about a European Ultra next summer then this won't fail to disappoint. 10/10 in my book.
results – 85th bloke overall
…and a Brucie bonus – top of the Strava Scottish Hill Runners charts this week 🙂 If Carlsberg did Saturday's…

Rock can go two ways. On the one hand you have the boundless narcissism and delusional egos of Vince Neil and Axl Rose, where their very existence as musicians seems pretty much dependent on their own sense of self worth*. On the other, you have the underwhelming, self-deprecating breed of genius. London's Kit Trigg very much falls in the second camp.
Comprised of Kit and Nic, who assure us "we're fucking terrible". An expanded description offers little more info, telling us "we're fucking terrible". They seem pretty set on the idea… You may also be interested to know that they enjoy "exploding", and "running really fast" as well as the usual stuff like music, poetry, wrecking shit and crying. Oh yeah, they like sex too. Actually Kit and Nic sound a lot like my teenage relationships.
But, don't let them fool you. Kit Trigg's Thrasher EP is one of the best things I've heard in a long time. Very much blues rock, the limited options of guitar, vocals and drums are hardly lacking. Grounded in deep, gritty riffs that explode into overblown and overdriven thrash, Kit's vocals are like Little Richard dragged over broken glass.
The title track is an awesome mix of deep blues and raw punk meltdowns, riddled with beautiful guitar work. Followed by Loser which launches out pure high octane thrash before descending into a lead-weight Stevie Ray Vaughn. Coming back down on Rolling Lady, Trigg ventures into a more soulful place that blends blues with roots and soul, bringing harmonics and a restful pace.
Back to some deep blues melodies, mournful and velvety guitar work opens up Bad. Six minutes drives by while Trigg works his way through heart wrenching vocals, delicate riffs and huge amounts of gain once the drums kick in and the guitar starts wailing. It's a pretty incredible noise from the small outfit, and the most incredible vocals I have come across all year.
Previous releases I Feel So Much Better and Lucky Smile are also well worth listening to. Channelling some definite Nirvana feels with wrenching vocals and oscillating energy. If you're in London, you can catch Kit and Nic live at The Victoria, Dalston on September 14.
*I'm sorry… I still fucking love Mötley Crüe, and Guns 'N Roses. Not as much as they love themselves, but I don't even fucking care. Sorry for all the swearing.

Bundori Paperback
by Laura Joh Rowland
Part of the Sano Ichiro series
Brutal murders linked to an ancient betrayal send late 17th-century Tokyo into a panic.
They also spell big trouble for the Shogun's special investigator, Sano Ichiro, in this sequel to Rowland's first novel, Shinju.
The killings are made known when the severed heads of the victims are put on public display, in the manner of an ancient custom known as bundori, or war trophy.
The victims are descendants of warriors who, more than a century earlier, were involved in the murder of a powerful warlord.
As the killings continue, Sano, though hampered in his investigation by his devotion to the warrior-code of bushido and its precepts of silent obedience and service, suspects three of the most powerful men in the Shogunate, including Chamberlain Yanagisawa.
Also complicating Sano's quest for the truth is a female ninja in Yanagisawa's power; aiding it are an eager young officer in the Tokyo police and a quirky old morgue attendant.

Review by smik
The setting of this book is historical, and one that I am familiar with: the Tokugawa Shogunate at Edo in Japan, 1689. There are now (2014) 18 titles in this popular series spanning 1689 to 1709. The historical and cultural setting is richly and authentically described. I began with the second in the series as my library does not have the first available. There are references in this title to the events in the first book.As the number of victims of the Bundori Killer mounts various districts of the capital go into panic and there are fires and vigilantes and the Shogun gives Sano four days to find the killer or face exile himself. Sano constantly reminds himself of the promise he made to his dying father to bring the family name into a position of honour, but for a while it looks as if he will only achieve disgrace.The Shogun, Tsunayoshi Tokugawa, relies heavily on his Chamberlain Yanagisawa who seems determined to point out Sano's failures. Readers of modern day police procedurals may well reflect that nothing much has changed.An enjoyable and satisfying read.

Craigslist: Your Solution to Living Abroad?
There is lots of talk about starting online businesses, moving abroad, etc. But have you considered using Craigslist to free up some cash for your travels?
Craigslist gets 50 billion page views per month! In most cases, you only need 1k to take a trip to latin america or the carribean. If you want to visit Asia or Europe, then you probably need 2k to 5k.
5 Steps to Making Craigslist Work
1. Go through your home and find valuable stuff that you rarely use (tv, video games, computers, artwork, collectibles, jewelry)
2. Post an ad on Craigslist with a good title, clear pictures, and a phone number to reach you at.
3. Respond to the offers and meet up to sell the item.
4. If an item doesn't sell after 3 postings, then donate it or try eBay.
5. Rinse and repeat.
Not only have I created a ton of free space in my home, but I get an extra $500 to 1k per month for travel expenses.
The one positive about being in the USA is we live next to some of the biggest consumers on the planet. It's easy to sell stuff to Americans. We love to consume.

I tried Craigslist in the USA, and I tried Craigslist here in Mexico. Back in the USA, I only had one sale when I sold my TV, and good riddance. Here in Mexico, I haven't had any luck on Craigslist at all.

"I used to be one of those men who believed that men are better than women at everything. Then I stood corrected!
Women are better than men at... getting fat." - me (02/24/2013)
Black women suck at life.
Craigslist is for the USA. If you live in Mexico, try Mercado Libre.
Wait, wait, wait. But this entire thread was for the purpose of having a Craigslist business while living outside of the USA, abroad, right?
Now we're confused.

Craigslist worked well for me, I got rid of all my stuff before going abroad. Now I only have my clothes and a laptop. Amazing enough, that's all I really need

Some countries will be harder to sell stuff than Craigslist. Just giving people options for selling things online. You don't have to post items on Craigslist. Some people use it for generating leads for lawyers, dentists, real estate agents, etc.
Mercado Libre is the latin american version of Craigslist. You can basically do the same things. It's a large classifieds ads site. Craigslist is only popular in anglo speaking countries.
Another huge reason to use Craigslist: Lead generation
Go to the services section in your city and you will notice tons of local businesses advertising their services.
Now there are two ways to go about this:
1. Contact the companies advertising and tell them you can get them more leads. Charge a flat rate fee or negotiate a per lead agreement.
2. Find local companies in your city and persuade them to advertise on Craigslist. Agree on the payment terms and start posting ads.
There is an art to Craigslist but generally people like images and calling phone numbers.
Consider creating a special 1-800 number to track calls that way you know how many leads your ads drive.
You can do this from ANYWHERE in the world.
I've sold stuff on CL and Ebay. I'll be getting rid of things I would like to keep but at this point in my life, I need to move forward.
Will be using Ebay, CL and Amazon Marketplace, keeping track of all if it on my blog.
Stay tuned.
You guys who use Craigslist must be suicidal.
Craigslist has turned into a haven for murders.
You're where you're at in life because of your thoughts.
What you think about the most is what you will eventually manifest in your life.
Ahaha Living a life is dangerous in general, I heard people die Craigslist is great, I actually sold my furniture to a fellow Russian immigrant and he even paid me more than I asked. He also bought more stuff than I advertised. His hot wife loved my hot bed, so they took it as well.

|SalesVantage.com >> Article Archives >> Marketing Concepts >> 7 Deadly Sins of the B2B Marketing-to-Sales Lead Handoff
Each time we interview a new client, we see up to seven common mistakes around the lead handoff. Most of the time, marketing is already aware of a couple of these issues, but since customizing the CRM is not a viable option, the shortcomings are typically viewed as "something we just have to live with." This career limiting structure is one of the main reasons why an automated lead nurturing and delivery engine needs to complement the CRM. Without one, odds are high that revenue is being compromised by a poor marketing-to-sales lead handoff. If any of the following issues describe your lead hand-off process, don't be surprised when the CFO turns down your request for more marketing budget.
1. The lead is passed to sales too earlyA recent study by the Industrial Performance Group indicated sales on average spends only 38 percent of their time selling. Spending too much time sifting though low quality leads is a recipe for disaster and quickly leads to finger pointing between marketing and sales. B2B Marketers are much more successful when they focus on automated lead nurturing and optimizing the lead hand-off rather than investing in putting more leads into the top of the funnel at a lower cost per lead. Imagine the revenue potential of a modest 5 to 15 percent lift in opportunities. Now imagine the lift in revenue if the close ratio also increased 20% as a result of sales being much more focused on better opportunities.

As I was lying on the pavement in the Westbound lane of King Street, the first thought that came to mind was "I hope my new bike is okay." I opened my eyes to car tires and the familiar pumpkin-orange of a Toronto taxi cab. I could feel my left hand twisted under my body. I could feel the dirt and stones under my left cheek. I was thankful breasts can't pop like balloons, because I'm pretty sure Leftie would have exploded with a pop that would have been heard from Roy Thompson to City Hall.
I started shaking and crying. I tried to get up but couldn't move. "Get up" I said quietly to myself. "Get. Up." a little more sternly this time. I couldn't understand why my body wasn't obeying me. I didn't understand why I couldn't move myself out of the Westbound lane of King Street. I engaged my core and tried moving my arms to push myself up. Nothing worked. Nothing moved. It felt like I had been lying there for 45 minutes, but it couldn't have been more than five seconds.
I felt arms pull me, heard a woman say "I've called an ambulance" and heard a chorus of men ask me if the taxi had hit me or if I just fell. "I got caught in the streetcar tracks" I sobbed, "it wasn't the taxi." Next thing I knew, I was on the steps in front of that Indian restaurant that seems too expensive for Indian food, and a policewoman was asking me my name and how old I was. A guy in a suit was holding my bike and looking helpless. I gave him my key and asked him to lock it to a post somewhere. He was friendly and told me to take care. I rolled up my pants to find blood pouring down my chins from gaping holes in my knees. I couldn't understand how my pants hadn't ripped, but I had gigantic holes in my legs. It seemed like magic.
A construction worker came up to us and asked if I needed first aid. He pulled out a small first aid kid and gave me some gauze and bandaids. His hands were rough and his fingers were thick, yet he peeled the bandaid from its packaging more delicately than I ever could have, and handed it to my shaking hands to place on my wounds. He was gone as soon as he arrived. He took the garbage we made with him.
I pulled out my phone to call my best friend Melody. We were supposed to meet up 30 minutes from then and go shopping. "Hey" I croaked, "I'm not going to be able to meet you at the mall. I'm really sorry. I just got into an accident on my bike and the ambulance is coming." I started crying and shaking while Mel asked where I was. "I'll be fine. I have to go the ambulance will be here soon." I was bummed that we had to cancel our shopping trip, but I was relieved she hadn't left yet. I would have hated for her to waste a TTC token.
I eventually stopped crying and made small-talk with the police woman. I told her I was glad she was there to hang out with me while I waited for the ambulance, then I started seeing spots and she told me to put my head between my knees. I couldn't get my head low enough and I was worried I was doing it wrong, but she assured me I'd be okay. I had always wondered what it was like to pass out and was actually a bit interested in seeing what happened, but the fact that I didn't want to roll out onto the sidewalk and block the lunch hour rush kept me grounded. The policewoman was nice and laughed at my jokes.
When the paramedics arrived, the cute one asked me if I could walk to the ambulance. I, being tough and stubborn, tried to stand up…and immediately fell backwards. They got the stretcher out and I was wheeled into the ambulance like a superstar. I imagine it's what Egyptian queens felt like when they had four guys carting them around on a sweet platform.
In the ambulance, Cute Paramedic and I chit-chatted between bouts of me saying "I think I might throw up" and "Fuck, I'm seeing black spots again". When we got to the hospital and into the ER, I was feeling a bit better. "You're looking good!" Cute Paramedic said. "You were so pale before but you're getting colour back". "Oh great." I mumbled, "I'm always so fucking red and always want to be a bit lighter. I should go into shock more often!" He laughed and I laughed and he said "….please don't?" He helped me into a wheelchair and put me in front of an aquarium. "The fish are pretty. Way better than CP24." he joked and flashed me a smile. I knew if we had met under different circumstances and if I hadn't kept talking about throwing up, we would have been a couple. I imagine he's still thinking about me to this day too.
The rest of my day was spent waiting and getting x-rays and waiting and listening to a woman behind a curtain get a finger drained (?!!??!). A doctor told me everything was fine and she left. 30 minutes later a nurse walked by and said "Uh…are you waiting for something?"
"Um….am I okay to go?"
"Oh yeah. You could have left a while ago."
"Oh!" I said. "Uh…could someone clean my wounds?"
The nurse seemed surprised that 4 hours after my accident I still had rocks and dirts in the holes on my legs, but she seemed a bit reluctant to help me out. After a pleading look, she came over with some gloves and fresh gauze and told me how to take care of my insides that were a little bit outside. I thanked her and when she left I took the extra antibacterial cream and gauze she left on my bed. I was a bit worried my holes would get infected since they had been dirty for so long, and I'm pretty cheap, so hey! Free gauze!
I shuffled myself to the exit, which was long and excruciating and slow and all I wanted was for someone to put me in a wheelchair and wheel me out…but hey, I'm sure I looked really fucking hardcore with my bloodstained legs and messed up mascara. Melody picked me up and drove me home, insisting it was okay that I had missed our shopping date. She's a good friend like that.
I'm lucky that my bike accident wasn't too bad; I know people who have broken arms and knocked heads and worse, so the fact that I got away with just a scar and a failed romance with a paramedic (after 5 years of biking in the city) really isn't awful. My bike came out a bit scratched but not broken, but I couldn't ride for two weeks after my accident. Even now, two years later, my right knee has a circular dark scar on it and is still numb in some places and painful in others, but seems to be getting better any time I pay attention to it, and it makes me look pretty tough. I was lucky, and it made me a smarter rider. It also taught me how to clean out leg holes.
I still have some gauze if anyone needs it. I…I took a lot.

The second album by Australian alternative metal outfit Cog downplays the heavy Tool and System of a Down influence of 2005's The New Normal in favor of a varied and dynamic take on heavy rock that allows the band's own musical personality to develop. The trio are still capable of sounding very much like their key influences -- note the herky-jerky stomp of "The Movie's Over" -- but throughout Sharing Space, singer and guitarist Flynn Gower, bassist Luke Gower, and drummer Lucius Borich expand the parameters of their sound to include Pearl Jam style angst rock ("Bird of Feather"), slow builds to eventual explosions ("Bitter Pills"), and even potential radio fodder ("Say Your Last Goodbye" and first single "What If"). The core of the trio's alternative metal sound remains in place, thanks in part to Sylvia Massy's clean but assertive sounding production, keeping Sharing Space from sounding scattershot or losing what fans of the first album had liked. But Cog smartly build on their strengths here. (Some international versions of the album include a bonus track, an unexpected dance music reworking of "Bird of Feather" that works surprisingly well in the entirely different genre.) ~ Stewart Mason

TEN Things You Should Always Have In Your Car
#10 Extra Clothes
You should always have a pair of extra clothes in your car for emergency. You never know when a car is going to come out of nowhere and just splash a whole bunch of muddy water all over you. Its better to be prepared rather then suffering later.
#9 Gas Can
Running out of gas is really embarrassing. It leaves you clueless. You don't think it's going to happen but then it does and it's embarrassing. Keep a gas can with a few gallons of gas in it in your car at all times.
#8 Lug Wrench
You never know when your tires ditch you. If you get stuck with a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, your spare tire is going to be pretty useless without a lug wrench. Yes, changing the tire is not like watching your favourite movie but it is far more better then stucking in the middle of a road. So, always carry a lug wrench.
#7 Food
Having something edible in your car is always a good idea. If you become stranded it could also save your life. Emergencies are never foreseen. Moreover, its always good to have some food in your car for those days that you don't have time to stop and pick something up.
#6 Water
The necessity of life. You should not even think of leaving anywhere without water. If you get stuck somewhere or have to walk a far distance to get help you are going to get thirsty so don't forget to pack some water. You might also need it for your radiator or to clean your windshield.
#5 Spare key
What if you lock your car keys inside the car? Everyone does that at some point. The best way to avoid this is by stashing a spare key somewhere on your car with a magnetic key holder.
#4 First aid kit
Another very important thing. comes to first aid. Bandages, antibiotics and other medicines will all come in handy at some point. Make sure you don't forget the aspirin for when the annoying people you travel with give you a headache.
#3 Money
You never leave your house without money, do you? imagine a single day without your wallet. In an emergency you might need some cash as well. Avoid this dilemma by stashing a little bit of money away in your car and that way leaving your wallet at home won't ever be a problem.
#2 Car Jack
There are many great reasons for having a car jack in your car at all times. They come in handy when you are stuck in the mud, have something stuck under your car or for changing a flat tire. Car jack acts as your best friend during this time.
#1 Spare tyre
Probably the most important thing in this list. If you get a flat tire and you don't have a spare…you won't be getting very far. It seems like common sense but you wouldn't believe how many people drive around without a spare tire. how horrifying is this entire situation? So always keep a spare tyre in your car.

Trooper Craig Scott was shot and killed after stopping a vehicle for speeding in Ingham County. Unbeknownst to him, the two occupants of the vehicle had stolen it four days earlier. The driver produced a driver's license but failed to produce a registration for the vehicle. Trooper Scott attempted to radio in the information but was unable to contact the dispatcher. He then approached the driver again and placed him under arrest.
As he walked the suspect back to the cruiser the passenger exited the vehicle and snuck up behind him and shot him in the back three times at a range of three feet.
The two suspects fled the scene but were apprehended in the neighboring county after stealing a car at gunpoint. Both suspects were sentenced to life in prison.
Trooper Scott had served with the Michigan State Police for four years and had previously served as a MP in the United States Army for three years.

School officials meet with state legislators
State Sen. Kay O'Connor, R-Olathe, and State Rep. John Ballou, R-Gardner, heard something Saturday they're probably not accustomed to hearing.
During a meeting with DeSoto school officials and patrons, the two legislators were encouraged to raise taxes.
Many of the approximately 20 people attending the meeting said they wanted the state to spend more money on education and they were willing to pay more taxes to see that happen.
DeSoto High School teacher Karen Wall set the tone for the meeting.
"I think it really hurt when we cut taxes a few years ago," she said. "It certainly affected the balance in the school system. I'm very concerned that future tax cuts would hurt education even further."
Janie Fink of the district's Parents as Teachers program said she spoke for many when she asked O'Connor and Ballou to put more money into the state's public schools.
"I hear comments from people all the time, concerned about what's going to happen," she said. "I would support a tax increase and so would they."
DeSoto Superintendent Marilyn Layman was more specific. She said the district would have several ways to put the extra money to good use, including the development of curriculum and staff mentoring programs. More money was also needed for faculty recruiting and salaries, she said.
"Our teachers are not even getting a cost-of-living increase," Layman said.
Ballou was reluctant to commit his support of a tax increase to fund education. O'Connor was less diplomatic.
"I will tell you right now, I will not support a tax increase," she said.
The senator told the group that a higher tax rate was not what her constituents wanted. Deputy Superintendent Sharon Zoellner responded that she and others in the room were also part of her constituency.
"If you got letters from half of your constituents asking you to do something, would you do it?" Zoellner asked.
O'Connor was quick to respond.
"I've been asked that many times and I proudly say, 'Do I vote according to how my constituents want me to? Absolutely not.'" O'Connor said. "I may have information my constituents don't. If they don't like what I'm doing, I'll be booted out of office."

Gene Chizik Fired: 5 Schools Who Should Consider Hiring Former Auburn CoachMarch 23, 2017
Gene Chizik Fired: 5 Schools Who Should Consider Hiring Former Auburn Coach
The hammer has dropped on Gene Chizik's tenure at Auburn with a Sunday afternoon announcement confirming the expected end to his run as the Tigers head football coach.
Chizik showed that he could put together winning football teams while at Auburn and he carries a strong coaching pedigree, so a future head job will undoubtedly be in the works before too much of the dust settles.
Auburn saw Chizik go 33-19, and win a national title in his four-year run with the school. Despite the early success of the program under his guidance, a 3-9 record this season ended his run at the top.
Here are the five schools that should look at the national title-winning coach.
Boston College Golden Eagles
Boston College announced the firing of Frank Spaziani on what has become known as "Bloody Sunday" in college football.
The Golden Eagles have gone 22-29 in the past four seasons under Spaziani, finishing the past two years with losing records. Boston College needs a turnaround, and Gene Chizik could be the guy to handle the job.
If Chizik stepped in to coach Boston, he would have a longer timetable than most schools to rebuild a deflated program. He was able to find great success on the recruiting trail at Auburn and could bring a lot of top prospects into the fold for the Golden Eagles.
While this won't likely be the landing spot for Chizik, it would be a school that would be wise to give him an interview.
UTEP Miners
The UTEP Miners announced the retirement of head coach Mike Price on November 19 and immediately began the search for his replacement.
Gene Chizik knows the state of Texas after spending time at Stephen F. Austin and Texas earlier in his career. He would be able to step in and know the recruiting game in the biggest recruiting hotbed in the country.
The Miners want to win football games and Chizik's pedigree shows that he can. While UTEP may not be a national title contender, they would have a winning surge if they brought in Chizik to run the program.
This would be a great fit for both school and coach. UTEP is looking for a big name that can be snagged at a modest price, and Chizik needs a new home to rebuild his career.
Western Michigan Broncos
Bill Cubit was fired by Western Michigan this past Saturday after a season-ending loss to Eastern Michigan. The Broncos finished the year at 4-8 after two consecutive winning seasons and a bowl appearance in 2011.
The Broncos have seen a lot of success recently under Cubit and are looking to continue that trend with their next hire. Chizik could fit this role well for the Broncos.
The program has the tools on campus to win, it simply needs a director to pull it all together. Chizik did that at Auburn in 2009 and 2010—winning a national title with the team—so the assumption would be that he could step in and manage this team as well.
Idaho Vandals
Idaho is not a traditional powerhouse in college football, but when the program touches success and then flops, a change is made. Robb Akey took over Idaho in 2007 and has since coached five losing seasons in six years.
His time was cut short this season when the Vandals fired him on October 21.
The Vandals have an interim head coach in Jason Gesser, but having a shot at Gene Chizik may change how this team looks at its coaching situation.
Chizik could step into a mess and rebuild a program by going .500. This would be a great place for Chizik to regain traction in the coaching world.
Georgia State Panthers
Bill Curry announced his retirement from Georgia State in August, preparing the Panthers program for a coaching transition early.
Curry helped build this program from the ground up, becoming the first head coach for the Panthers in 2008. The team will be a full time FBS member in 2013, and eligible for bowl competition in 2014.
What better place to rebuild a career than to launch a program into major college football? Gene Chizik knows this area well after spending four years as Auburn's head coach and could help continue the rise of this fledgling program.
Of all positions that are available, this would be the best fit for coach and school. It would give Chizik a chance to rebuild a reputation away from the spotlight, and give the Panthers a title-winning coach on a bargain.
