Narcos: Grab Free Spins On NetEnt's New Slot
Published on by James
Narcos: Silver Or Lead, Which Will You Choose? Will it be riches or a hailstorm of bullets? We say, why not both?This...
Published on by Adam
This month we'll be welcoming the fun loaded new Netent video slot Space Wars in the Netent Casinos, on the 24-th of April to be exact, and we really can't wait to play this humorous game in which a bunch of alien monsters are fighting over a powerful crystal on some Kuiper Belt asteroid. Now Netent also has revealed the release date of another war themed video slot, being submarine video slot Silent Run.
Where in video slot Space Wars the intergalactic armed conflict between 5 alien nations of course is pure fiction and brought in a funny and humorous style, the theme of video slot Silent Run about World War II submarines is all but fiction and brought actually very realistic.
In the movie that Netent has shown us (and which you can watch again below) we see all devices that at the time were essential in the submarine Naval warfare like mines, torpedoes, depth bombs and of course the submarines and their targets, the enemy's marine vessels.
As in real naval warfare though also in video slot Silent Run the most important device is the sonar, which enables you to both discover hidden symbol substituting Echo Wilds nearby on the reels. The sonar also will activate the Echo Bonus game in which you can target and sink (with your torpedoes) the hostile navy ships, each struck ship generating a nice winning.
Video slot Silent Run is due to appear in the Netent Casinos (and probably accompanied by Free Spins to get acquainted with the game) on the 7-th of May, so only 2 weeks after the launch of the other warfare themed video slot Space Wars. So the end of April and the beginning of May will be a (luckily virtual) "violent" one and hopefully the "destructive" features and characters in both games will be of constructive nature to your casino account.
Have a look again at the video below of Netent video sot Silent Run to get a preview of the game. And if you're already in a destructive of slightly violent mood right now you could play existing Netent video slots like video slot Demolition Squad or video slot Pacific Attack for example in the very peaceful Netent Casino CasinoLuck.

Zimbabwe vs India 1st T20I Preview Prediction Highlights Ball By Ball :-After handling the white wash to the Zimbabwe Cricket team in 50 over format, now MS Dhoni's men are folding their sleeves for the new born baby of Cricket.
The India team will take on Zimbabwe for the first t20 international on June 18 at Harare Sports Club in the capital of Zimbabwe.
Dhoni now would like to finish this tour by another dominant performance in all the three t20 internationals against Zimbabwe that will kick on Saturday.
This Indian team has completely young and new faces but expect of Faiz Fazal all the other 14 players have IPL contracts and have enough expereince to handle the pressure of t20 format.
While the likes of Kedar Jadhav and Manish Pandey had toured Zimbabwe in 2015 under the Captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane and they managed to draw that series by 1-1 as India team was defeated in the second game of 2015 t20 series.
Meanwhile, players like KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah could prove to be the X factor for the Indian side led by the expereince of MS Dhoni in t20 Cricket as a skipper.
On the other side, Zimbabwe team would be looking to bounce back from the 3-0 defeat by the hands of Indian team. This zimbabwe team has really been poor in both bowling and batting in the 50 over format.
But Zimbabwe fans can expect for some competiton from their local team as they had done in the 2015 t20 series against the same side.
In 2015 series Zimbabwe had won the second match of the t20 series and mananged to draw the series by 1-1. The coach of Zimbabwe Makhaya Ntini need to ask his boys to give some solid performance both with ball and bat.
While Zimababwe think tank has called Tinotenda Mutombodzi, Chamunorwa Chibhabha and Tapiwa Mufudza in their Squad for t20.
Faiz Fazal, Karun Nair, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain and wk),Barindar Sran, Dhawal Kulkarni, Ambati Rayudu, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Jayant Yadav, KL Rahul, Mandeep Singh.
Brian Chari,Vusimuzi Sibanda, Sikandar Raza, Elton Chigumbura, Hamilton Masakadza,Tendai Chatara, Chamu Chibhaha, Donald Tiripano, Malcolm Waller, Peter Moor, Graeme Cremer (captain),Tapiwa Mufudza, Tinotenda Mutombodzi, Richmond Mutumbami (wk), Taurai Muzarabani, Neville Madziva, Timycen Maruma, Wellington Masakadza.
MS Dhoni and his boys is looking red hot favourite to come out victorious against the Graeme Cremer's zimbabwe side.
But this game of Cricket is full of uncertainities, if zimbabwe bowlers will be able to strike couple of Wicket in the first six over then they maight get some chance gainst this heavy loaded Indian side.

This post is for anyone feeling the sadness of a loss of a relationship, but it is also for anyone dealing with the feeling of sadness in general. Sadness and the feeling of loss are connected to depression, so this may also be helpful if you are tending toward depression due to a feeling of aloneness that is accompanied by sadness. There are some techniques for dealing with sadness that successfully dimension it and actually use it as a gateway to self-awareness. We talk about these in this blog post.
We thoroughly look at the anatomy of emotional feelings in our book What's Behind Your Belly Button? and give a new twist to the understanding of these emotions as having a combination of a feeling component coming from the gut feeling of emptiness (generally not fullness as needs satisfaction brings intuitive knowing rather than emotion) and a thinking component coming from the thinking brain. If we experience an emotion like sadness, we can be sure that our thinking brain (CSN) and our gut brain (ENS) are at odds with each other and not communicating completely, although they are certainly trying to do so. We need to separate them further so we can identify what each is saying to us, and that will allow us to bring in some fresh information about ourselves that will set the course of a natural unity of body-mind. In simpler terms, we have to center on how we are feeling emotionally and allow ourselves to look at both the thinking part of this emotion and the purely gut feeling part, then trace the source of those in our understanding of the impact of our experience.
Generally we found in using the Somatic Reflection Process with people who were experiencing sadness and loss, that the sadness was related to a past experience in which they assumed some guilt for the loss, blaming themselves. The sadness that we encountered in the hundreds of people we counseled was found in somatic reflection to be largely related to a feeling of guilt. The feeling of guilt is the same feeling of emptiness whether a person has taken on the thinking judgment that they did or did not do something particular that caused or contributed to their loss or whether they took on the judgment that they were too small and inadequate, unprepared, ill-informed, not-good enough or unaware to act in a manner that would have avoided the loss.
Often, when we ask people for the first time if they can see a relationship to their feeling of sadness to the feeling of guilt, they think we mean something they have done wrong, for which they will say "no". But once they examine their feelings, they see their sadness has a thinking component of how they think they were "not powerful enough or good enough" and this identity of a "less than" feeling or guilt opens a door of perception up. It is much easier to deal with one's guilt from the past and find the source of the judgments that we have put upon ourselves (generally back in early childhood where we originally accepted judgments from authorities or others who did not understand how we felt inside) than it is to deal with a profound feeling of sadness and loss for which we have no control or think simply relates to some event in recent times or adulthood. Generally, our adult romantic losses trigger feelings unresolved from earlier life and are even set up to happen because we have not cleared our understanding of ourselves in this earlier event. It does take quite a bit of reflecting on the impact of life upon you, your gut feelings, to reassess your past and understand that you are perfectly human, caring in your instincts., and always have been caring. But until we do find our caring and loving nature inside, we will not feel we deserve love and happiness, and that is our biggest loss.
We often find that people write us and say that they have a breakthrough as they read the dialogues and discussions in Chapter 3 and generally this is a profound feeling experience in which they find some peace and self-acceptance, and sadness and aloneness begins to shift toward hope and a feeling of soundness and peace inside. Here is a short excerpt from Chapter 3 of What's Behind Your Belly Button? on the "Anatomy of Feelings". This excerpt introduces the dialogues of authentic sessions of the Somatic Reflection Process:
"People commonly experience the awareness of feelings as a combination of logic and feeling rather than a purely instinctive gut feeling of necessity. The inner instinctive feeling is surely there but our conscious awareness is so distracted toward the outside situation through our senses that the instinctive human feelings are available to us only in a combined form with some outside authoritative thinking we have accepted. In contrast to the purely instinctive somatic feelings of the human organism, this type of common feeling experience or level of feeling consciousness may be called psychosomatic feeling."
"We experience the psychosomatic level of feeling to be allied with our attachments to outside authority. In situations where we are conscious of the importance of what other's think or how we perform, we become aware that our basic feelings are set side-by-side with the logic of the external authority in the situation and we tend to judge our position in terms of that outside view. Invariably, we come up short and lose in that comparison. We experience the tendency of the logic to judge this type of feeling position to be weak and unreliable. The weakness seems to be related to the logical compromise of our instinctive feelings. Compromised feelings are inevitably unreliable because in such a situation we find we are strung-out away from ourselves. From the point of view of the Self, we find in reflecting on what is important to us that it was the logic system that we accepted that were unreliable. We find it always unreliable to accept outside principles that do not satisfy the instinctual feelings when we apply them to our inner needs."
"It is helpful to remember that if the feeling is named—fear, hostility, guilt, jealousy, joy, sadness, etc.—it is not a basic instinctive feeling since the act of naming by the logic system attaches the feeling to an outside judgment even though it is related to emptiness or fullness on the inside of us. And it is the inner instinctive feelings with which we need to deal not the outside person, situation or thing with which the named feeling is associated. Often the outside situation is not even a real factor with which we can deal. We can project on a host of fantasies in the outside world while the real problem lies deep in our inner instinctive feelings of necessity."

In honor of the Orthodox Easter that's in a week's time from now we are going to discuss about old Orthodox Church books.
Printed from the late 15th century, they were of immeasurable importance in the spiritual life of Orthodox Christians as well as early printing and publishing history of Eastern Europe which was predominantly Orthodox. In addition, these books were also most commonly printed in Eastern Europe through the 16th and 17th century and they were printed in various redactions of Church-Slavonic language, which was a foundation for the today modern Slavic languages (Serbian, Russian, Ukraine for example).
The Cetinje Octoechos (Serbian: Цетињски октоих or Cetinjski oktoih) was printed in 1494 in Cetinje, the capital of the Principality of Zeta (present-day Montenegro). It is the first incunabulum written in the Serbian reduction of Church Slavonic, as well as the first book printed in Cyrillic in Southeast Europe. It was printed in two installments, its first volume contains the hymns to be sung to the first four tones of the Octoechos system of musical modes, and the hymns for the remaining four tones are included in the second volume. Some of the other big Orthodox printing houses that printed in Church-Slavonic are Kiev Pechersk Lavra in and Synodal Printing House in Moscow. Some of the early Cyrillic books were printed in the West (Montenegrin Božidar Vuković and his son Vincenzo printed in Venice in 16th century).
Most common types of Orthodox Church books are:
Anthologion (Sbornik)
The Anthologion (άνθολόγιον, plural anthologia) is a liturgical text that tries to encompasses as much of the basic liturgical material as possible. An example of this text in Greek is the Synekdemos. A Slavonic example is the Velikij Sbnornik.
Archieratikon (Chinovnik)
The Archieratikon (Greek: Ἀρχιερατικόν, Slavonic: Chinovnik) is the Book of Rites for hierarchical services of the Orthodox Church that has the same function as the Hieratikon, but is intended for use by bishops performing the services and contains directions for all the peculiarities of hierarchical services. Besides the order of the Vigil and the three liturgies, it contains the orders for the ordination or tonsuring to various ecclesiastical ranks and the order of the consecration of the antimins.
Typikon (Ustav)
The Typikon (Greek: τυπικόν/typikon, pl. τυπικά/typika, lit. "following the order"; Slavonic: ѹставъ/ustav) is a book of directives and rubrics that establishes in the Orthodox Christian Church the order of divine services for each day of the year. It assumes the existence of liturgical books that contain the fixed and variable parts of these services. In monastic usage, the typikon of the monastery includes both the rule of life of the community and the rule of prayer. There are a number of major typikon traditions, but there are also many local variations, often codified into an official typikon.
Epistle Book (Greek: Apostolos; Slavonic: Apostol)
The Apostolos is the liturgical book containing the various Apostolic Readings as are appointed by the lectionary. An apostolos or epistle is writing directed or sent to a person or group of persons, usually a letter and a very formal, often didactic and elegant one. The letters from Apostles to Christians in the New Testament are often referred to as epistles.
Gospel Book (Greek: Evangelion; Slavonic:Evangelie)
In the Orthodox Church the Gospel Book (Greek: Εύαγγέλιον, Evangélion) is a central liturgical item. It is considered to be an icon of Christ, and is venerated in the same manner as an icon. Traditionally, the Orthodox will never cover the Gospel Book in leather—the skin of a dead animal—because the words of Christ are considered to be life-giving. Animal skins are also reminiscent of the Fall of Man, when God fashioned garments of skin for Adam and Eve after their disobedience 3:21). The Apostle Paul speaks of Christ being the "New Adam" (1st Corinthians 15:22,47-49), and the Orthodox understand Christ as coming to clothe mankind in the original "garments of light" which Adam and Eve lost in Paradise. Traditionally, the Gospel is covered in gold, the earthly element which is best symbolizes the glory of Heaven. If gold in unavailable, the Gospel may be covered in cloth. The Gospel Book rests on the center of the altar table, as the Cross of Christ was planted in the center of the earth. This placement of the Gospel Book also represents the activity of Christ at the Creation (the square Altar representing the created world). The Gospel rests upon the antimension, which remains on the Altar at all times, as Christ will remain with the Church until the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). The Divine Liturgy begins with the priest lifting the Gospel Book high and making the sign of the cross with it over the Altar. The Gospel Book is carried in procession at specific times, accompanied by candles. The most frequent occurrence is during the Divine Liturgy when it is carried in the Little Entrance which precedes the Epistle and Gospel readings. It is also carried in the Crucessions at Pascha and Theophany. After reading from the Gospel, the priest will bless the faithful with it. At Sunday Matins, after the Gospel reading, all come forward to venerate the Gospel Book and receive the blessing of the priest or bishop.
Horologion (Tchasoslov)
The Horologion (Greek: ῾Ωρολόγιον; Church Slavonic: Часocлoвъ, Chasoslov), or Book of Hours, provides the Acolouthia of the Daily Cycle of services (Greek: akolouthies, ἀκολουθίες) as used by the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches. Into this fixed framework, numerous moveable parts of the services are inserted. The Horologion is primarily a book for the use of the Reader and Cantor (as distinguished from the Euchologion, which contains the texts used by the Priest and Deacon). Several varieties of Horologia exist, the most complete of which is the Great Horologion (Greek: ῾Ωρολόγιον τò μέγα, Horologion to mega; Slavonic: Великий Часословъ, Velikij Chasoslov). It contains the fixed portions of the Daily Cycle of Services, (Vespers, Compline (Great and Small), Midnight Office, Matins, the Hours, the Inter-Hours, Typika, Prayers before Meals). The parts for the Reader and Chanters are given in full, the Priest's and Deacon's parts are abbreviated. The Great Horologion will also contain a list of Saints commemorated throughout the year (with their Troparia and Kontakia), selected propers for Sundays, and moveable Feasts (from the Triodion and Pentecostarion), and various Canons and other devotional services. The Great Horologion is most commonly used in Greek-speaking churches. Various editions of the Horologion are usually shorter; still giving the fixed portions of the Daily Office in full, but with the other texts much more abbreviated (all of which are found in full in the other liturgical books). In addition, such texts often also contain Morning and Evening Prayers, the Order of Preparation for Eucharist, and Prayers to be said after receiving Holy Communion.
Hieratikon (Sluzhebnik)
The Hieratikon (also spelled Ieratikon, also known as the Hierotelestikon and the Liturgikon; Slavonic: Sluzhebnik), the "book of the priest," is the Book of Rites of the Orthodox Church that contains the priest's prayers for Vespers, Orthros, and Divine Liturgies of St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great, and the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts. These texts usually also include additional sections, such as a the Dismissals for various days of the week and for Great Feasts, Prokeimena, the Menologion, Magnifications (Slavonic: Velichaniye) for feast days, and instructional material which explains what clergy should do in the case of various unexpected occurrences in the services.

There's a wonderful old saying that describes the situation where "the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing." It aptly characterizes current problems facing U.S. policy vis-a-vis Arabs and Muslims.
On the one hand, the Bush Administration has launched a number of initiatives designed to spread the message of U.S. concern for Arabs and Islam. On the other hand, the impact of several U.S. foreign and domestic policies drowns out the messages of the positive initiatives.
During the past month, for example, the United States launched a number of efforts to send the message of U.S. respect for Arabs and Islam. A $15 million television advertising campaign designed to demonstrate how well Muslims were doing in America, was complimented by a number of White House-sponsored Ramadan events. President Bush made an appearance at Washington D.C.'s Islamic Center and spoke glowingly about the Islamic faith. Additionally iftar events were held at the White House and State Department hosted by National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of State Colin Powell.
That was the good news. But bad news came last week when more than 700, mostly Iranian immigrants were arrested in Los Angeles after they voluntarily complied with a controversial Department of Justice (DOJ) regulation that they register at Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) offices by December 10.
This registration requirement is part of a DOJ program which has the declared intent of fingerprinting, photographing and recording the whereabouts of all non-immigrant foreigners coming into or already in the United States. To date, however, this regulation has only been applied to immigrants from 20 countries. Of this group, 15 of the countries are Arab (Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen)
Four are non-Arab, largely Muslim countries (Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iran, Pakistan) and North Korea.
Arab Americans and immigrant rights organizations protested the program on several grounds. Firstly, they argued that the program was targeting Arabs and Muslims. This fact was highlighted last week when Armenians, who had initially been listed among the immigrants required to register, were dropped from the registration list after protests were made by several Armenian organizations. Similar protests by Arab Americans and Muslim American organizations were ignored.
Other objections to the registration program included: concern that the DOJ had done little to publicize the requirement causing fear that the deadline would pass with many non-resident immigrants unaware that they had failed to report, making them subject to deportation; the limited time frame provided for the targeted individuals to report and register; the lack of uniformity in how INS offices around the United States were handling the registration process; and finally, the concern that the entire effort, since it had been announced as part of the effort to stop terrorism, ran the risk of potentially smearing an entire group of people as "suspects."
The initial results of this ill-conceived effort were widely reported last week after the deadline passed for the initial group of required registrants (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria Sudan). In one jurisdiction alone, Los Angeles, it appears that at least 700 individuals who voluntarily showed up at INS offices to register were arrested and are being held for possible deportation. The tragic irony of this situation is that the detained individuals were, in fact, acting in compliance with the law. Lawyers, close to the situation, indicated that while some of the detained individuals were technically "out of status," most had legal appeals for a reclassification of their immigrant status pending with the INS.
Could anyone believe that America is safer from terrorism because the INS has arrested hundreds of individuals, with legally filed pending immigration applications, who voluntarily appeared to be fingerprinted and photographed? And, equally to the point, what will all of this do to the U.S.'s charm offensive to communicate its tolerance and respect for Muslims and Arabs?
Does the right hand know what the left had is doing?
Also of concern in this regard was the announcement this week that the United States has decided not to make public the long-awaited "road-map" for a Middle East peace worked out by the so-called "Quartet" comprised of the U.S., United Nations, Russia and the European Union. This decision was reached over the objection of U.S. Middle East experts in the State Department and White House who felt that an early announcement was needed to show U.S. good faith to the Arab world and provide Israeli voters and Palestinian reformers with real hope and real choices for the future.
The apparent reason for the decision not to go forward with this announcement was so as not to influence the Israeli elections scheduled to be held on January 28. Since it is widely believed that Israel's incumbent Prime Minister Ariel Sharon objects to many of the provisions of the "road-map" and, therefore, to its release, what does U.S. concurrence with Sharon's objections say to Israelis, Palestinians and the broader Arab world about the U.S. commitment to a comprehensive Middle East peace?
And since January 27 is the deadline for the UN inspections team to announce its preliminary findings, and, therefore, for the U.S. to declare its acceptance or rejection of this report, will the U.S. now greet the end of January with an announcement of both the "roadmap" and a war against Iraq? And what will this do to U.S. self-declared efforts to build a broad coalition to confront Iraq? Do the pieces fit? Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing?

Essence is a liquid substance containing the vitality of the living thing it came from. When consumed by the Skeksis, it has age-reversing effects, although the lasting properties depend on the race of the victim -- Gelfling essence has a strong effect, while the effects of Podling essence is only temporary.
A being drained of their essence is completely without willpower or energy, and is easy to order about, making a perfect slave, as the Skeksis soon discovered. They also have withered faces and empty, milky eyes.
When SkekTek discovered how to drain essence, the first victims were Gelflings, but after all the Gelflings were exterminated, Podlings were captured and used by the Skeksis.
To drain one's essence, the victim is restrained and forced to stare into the reflected light of the Dark Crystal. Their essence leaves their body and flows through tubes, where it is collected in a vial for later consumption. Only the Emperor is allowed to drink essence, although early in the Skeksis' existence, when drained essence was easier to come upon, all of the Skeksis partook.
Being drained of essence and made into slaves was the ultimate fate of all captured Podlings, and when Kira was captured by the Skeksis, she was going to have her essence drained. However, only a few drops of her essence were collected before the animals in SkekTek's laboratory helped her escape.
In the novelization the Skeksis spoke in their original language (a concept that was ditched in the film) and Essence is known as "Vliya".

A while back I posted that I had installed the Windows 7 64bit Beta on my main development machine as a dual boot with Vista and that all looked good. A couple of weeks after that post my machine inexplicably stopped booting into Vista despite my attempts to perform a repair. So I've been running Windows 7 now for quite a while.
This week, along with everyone else I re-paved the machine with Windows 7 RC. On top of that I installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta and also jumped through the numerous hoops to install VS2010 Team Foundation Server on a virtual Windows 2008 Server instance running on my WHS box.
So far:
- The Windows 7 taskbar is improved by the additional key/mouse combos, e.g. Ctrl-LeftClick to quickly cycle through instances of an application.
- Windows 7 install is still the best Windows installation ever – which is good because for a while there Windows was getting consistently worse.
- Team Foundation Server is still a long installation process, but mainly now due just to the pre-requisites, e.g. Windows Server, IIS, SharePoint, SQL Server/Reporting Services. The install documentation is good – but it would pay to read through most of it before you install – which of course no-one (myself included) will ever do.
- Visual Studio 2010 is looking pretty good. If the new WPF text editor is anything to go by then the new font improvements in WPF 4/DirectWrite have worked well.
- There are typical Beta quirks in VS 2010 – it crashes occasionally, when you zoom in the editor the scroll bars also zoom (which looks most odd).
- Visual Studio start page is so easy to customize now. This article shows how you simple toggle an option and then build whatever XAML you like for the startpage. Either just extending what's already there or completely re-writing or re-skinning. Very cool!
- A number of Visual Studio extensions are beginning to popup. Including editor extensions for creating Regex's with intellisense, adding images inline with source code as well as some project templates, e.g. WPF application with tray icon.

At the end of 2010 I spent Xmas time in Paris with some friends : one evening I was invited for dinner at Antoinette's home and there I met Theresa : I can still remember the tarte she brought , the best "sbrisolona" I ever ate , luxury almonds melting in my mouth , I could hardly stop eating .The amazing thing is that this cake is a traditional recipe from Italy and Theresa comes frm USA. After a few months she wrote me and I invited her to come and see me in Provence . We had the chance there were beautiful,sunny days and we went looking for wild edible herbs: I showed her my " secret garden " in Gordes ( I never show it to anybody ) where we found "blettes" and so I told her about an ancient recipe of Nice I discovered on a book and how I was wishing to try it . Then we decided to cook together , but for this and for the recipe in english I'll send you here : Theresa writes much better than me ! Anyway we had so much fun cooking and shooting together , and the quinques were faboulous. If you happen to be in Paris and you have an interest in natural & vegetarian cooking and in discovering the city in a different way search for her site :she's a wonderful cook also !

Hung Up On Winter
I have a very simple conundrum. To hang or not to hang?
Winter approaches. This past weekend was gorgeous, and what was I doing? Raking leaves. If I don't do it now I will be staring at a pile of leaf mold in spring.
it is time to put the bikes away. My question: Should I hang to bikes by their front wheels on hooks? Will this distort the wheel? Are there better options for long term storage?
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Bears and Wolves and Eagles oh my!
Mark Schmitt (The Decembrist), compares the Reagan "Bear" ad with the latest Bush "Wolves" ad. The contrast is remarkable:
- "Bear" uses metaphor both visually and in its text. "Wolves" uses metaphor only in its images while the voice-over continues the same direct lie and distortion technique against Kerry and the Democrats.
- "Bear" is almost lyrical and dreamy in its presentation. "Wolves" is ham-handed and its appeal to fear almost trite.
- "Bear" plays to fear, but it balances it with a sense that there is a way to be safe without being afraid. "Wolves" is nothing but "be afraid".
The last point is the most interesting to me because it tells us something about the difference between Reagan and Bush: Reagan could at least argue that he had a plan for dealing with the dangers that threatened America. All Bush has is the argument that Kerry would do an even worse job than he has.
Several months back MoveOn put out a remake of the classic "Daisy" to limited effect. It just wasn't that good an ad. Now Bush is trying, once again, to harken back to the glories of the Reagan years. Like most sequels, both of these efforts fail to live up to the originals.
On the other hand, the DNC has an ad out in response to "Wolves" called "Eagle". It does a much better job of using metaphorical imagery. It never once makes reference to Bush or the Republicans, but the point of the ad is obvious to anyone who has been paying any attention to this campaign. It is weakened only by the fact that it is a "response" ad. It stands up well even if you have never seen or even heard of "Wolves".

Communicating with coworkers is a problem always in search of a solution.
We need to send things to be seen as soon as possible, send important documents, be secure, and be able to quickly go back and find important information at a moment's notice.
Email, chat clients, social networks inside of companies are all used to various degrees at many companies, but each has its own flaws and paying attention to several incoming streams of information makes it hard to focus on actually doing work.
Stewart Butterfield, a co-founder of Flickr, thinks that his company has a better tool for the job.
It's called Slack, and after even a short demo you can tell that he's on to something.
Though it's only been in development since January, it's already stable and packed with features. Here's what the app looks like for Stewart:
On the left side, we see the "Channels." These are the different subjects that people might want to discuss within a company. You'll notice that some are highlighted and one has a number off to the side.
The bold white channels have new messages that you haven't read yet. The number indicates that you were mentioned in one of those messages. In this way, the app tells you just how important it is to catch up on new conversations — if you aren't mentioned, it probably doesn't need your immediate attention.
In the middle is the chat window. Here, users talk in real time and submit links and documents for other team members to see.
On the right is the search area. This is where the magic happens in Slack. Everything said, submitted, or linked to in Slack is "indexed" so that it can easily be found with a quick search.
As an example, Stewart typed "flux capacitor" into a Google Doc which he then linked to in the chat. Despite the doc being hosted by Google, Slack was able to scan through it and quickly bring up the link to it when searched for "flux capacitor."
Slack's indexing also knows that sometimes you remember one part of a conversation but need information from around the time it was said. When you type in two search terms, it'll point you towards the sections of a conversation that it thinks are relevant. The results are impressive.
Slack versus the alternatives
Slack seems like a great option for businesses looking to streamline communication between coworkers. It's as fast as instant messaging, you can easily talk to individuals, teams, or everyone at once, it allows things to easily be categorized, and the tagging system seems like a better way to let someone know they need to look at something than sending out an email that says URGENT PLEASE READ.
It's also extremely well-designed. Everything is clean and easy to understand with little explanation. The app's interface feels like a combination of Reeder for Mac, a news-reading app, and Campfire, a chat tool for businesses.
With that said, Slack will cost money. (But the company won't disclose how much yet). If a company is already spending a lot for something like Yammer, it might be difficult to convince people to move or use Slack in addition to what people have gotten comfortable with. If a company is spending money for email and it seems to be sufficient, it might not look like it's worth upgrading.
On that note, a team really has to be dedicated to moving all internal communication to Slack for it to be worth it. If some important documents or conversations take place outside of the app, it can't index them. That would make its awesome search function pretty much useless.
But for new teams who haven't invested too much time or money into any particular communication tool, it seems like a pretty great option.
Plus, it offers the same features on pretty much every platform you could want. Whether you're on a PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Android phone/tablet, it offers access to the same group chat and search options:

The source: Notizbuch des Agitators (Agitatorĺs Notebook), published by the Socialist Unity Partyĺs Agitation Department, November 1951.
Arguments for the Agitator
Why does the Soviet Union have atomic weapons?
Comrade J. W. Stalinĺs answer to a Pravda correspondentĺs question about nuclear weapons has earned the enthusiastic support of all peace-loving people. However, there are a few people who have doubts about the Soviet Unionĺs peace policies. They ask how the Soviet Unionĺs possession of nuclear weapons can be reconciled with its constant talk of peace. Others say: "First we demand the banning of atomic weapons, and now Russia says it will use them itself if it is attacked," or "Why have we signed the Stockholm appeal when today even the Soviet Union speaks of using atomic weapons?" or "Why doesn't the Soviet Union set a good example by abolishing its own nuclear weapons in the interest of a lasting peace?"
We must answer these questions, for to leave them unanswered means playing into the hands of American imperialists and their allies who are preparing a new war in every possible way, including ideologically.
Are Soviet nuclear weapons consistent with its peace policies?
No one expects that an apartment-dweller threatened by a club-wielding burglar will not himself reach for a club in order to chase the burglar from his apartment. It is no different when the Soviet Union, threatened by American imperialismĺs atomic weapons, replies with the same weapon. Can the Soviet Union ignore the frenzied armaments build up by the imperialist world? It can no more do that than it could ignore the war cries of German Fascism before the Second World War. What would have happened to the world if the Soviet Union had failed to take the proper preparations before the Second World War to meet the Fascist beast with the appropriate weapons and put an end to it in Berlin? We owe the defeat of German Fascismĺs plans to the fact that the USSR was prepared to defend itself against Fascist aggression.
The Soviet Union has no intention of attacking the USA or any other land, Comrade Stalin said in his interview. Only because of the constant threats from US imperialists was the first socialist state forced to produce atomic weapons as a means of defense against an aggressive attack on its territory. The USSR would have much preferred to use the energy put into the atomic bomb for peaceful constructive purposes, such as has already been shown by the transformation of nature in the USSR and the great communist building projects.
Just as the Soviet Union has no intention of attacking any country, it has no intention of ceasing its demands for the banning of atomic weapons and the cessation the production of atomic weapons. It puts its full weight behind the demands of the Stockholm Conference of the World Peace Council, signed by millions and millions of people around the world, including many in the USSR. The Soviet Union is ready at any time to agree to international supervision of a ban on nuclear weapons and the cessation of their production. It firmly rejects, however, the American plan, which as the English newspaper the Daily Worker recently noted would not ban nuclear weapons, but rather place them under the control of an American-dominated body that would control all materials and production facilities worldwide. That is only proper as Stalin said since US imperialism is more and more turning the UN into an instrument of war preparation and war itself.
After the many bad experiences that the Soviet Union, and with it all peace-loving peoples, have had with US imperialismĺs international bodies, the Soviet Union should set a "good example" by abolishing its atomic bombs. What do people mean by asking it to set a "good example?"
To ask that the Soviet Union should demonstrate its "good will" by abolishing its atomic weapons means to ask that the USSR should abolish its nuclear weapons while the imperialist nations continue to produce them. The Soviet Union should set a "good example" by fighting for peace with empty hands while the aggression-mad imperialists of the USA and their European accomplices should increase their weapons to unbelievable levels. That would only encourage the warmongers and their war plans.
The only way to put the question is like this: As long as the peoples of the imperialist-dominated nations have not taken the preservation of peace into their own hands, and as long as the imperialists still have the possibility of lying to people and leading them into a new war, peace-loving people can only be happy that the Soviet Union, the bulwark of peace and international understanding, has torn the main weapon of exploiting and threatening peace-loving peoples from the hands of the imperialists. In so doing, it has taken the most critical step in hindering a new world catastrophe. It has hindered a new world war and stopped imperialist aggressors, building the necessary foundation for the activities of the organized world peace front.

The Road to Dictionopolis
A 2001 interview with Norton Juster, the author of The Phantom Tollbooth.
Miller: Where did the tollbooth come from? It's such a lovely blend of the magical and the mundane.
Juster: It was exactly what you say: I was looking for a rabbit hole sort of thing, but I wanted it to be in contemporary terms. I was thinking about what was a common experience for children that was a transition point where something changes. It seemed to me that almost every kid has been in a car going through a tollbooth.
The Gospel of Judas
To most Christians, Judas is seen as a traitor, the disciple who betrayed Jesus to the Romans for 30 pieces of silver. But a newly restored papyrus document dating to the 2nd century AD portrays a very different man. Judas is shown as Jesus' best friend, asked by Jesus himself to betray his identity to fulfill the prophecy and liberate his soul to ascend to heaven. – NPR
National Geographic has pictures and translations of the found Gospel of Judas, as well as a timeline and map explaining the document's journey to present day.

For years, Mike Krzyzewski has been known for recruiting system-type players — not necessarily the top-ranked one-and-one recruits that most schools dream of. But for the last few years, from Kyrie Irving to Austin Rivers and now Jabari Parker (who actually does fit his system perfectly), the program has experienced a change in the type of recruits it has landed. And next year's freshmen class will only transcend that trend. Today was another reminder of that after the Blue Devils received a commitment from Justise Winslow, a five-star small forward in the class of 2014, becoming the fourth top-30 recruit to pledge to Duke, after top-ranked center Jahlil Okafor, top-ranked point guard Tyus Jones and highly-touted shooting guard Grayson Allen. Winslow, a 6-5 swingman at St. John's HS in Houston (TX), was also reportedly considering UCLA and Arizona. Duke's recruiting class is starting to look like Kentucky's — never thought we'd see the day.
More from the News & Observer: "Justise Winslow is the latest 5-star recruit to commit to Duke. Winslow, a 6-foot-5, 208-pound small forward from Houston St. John's High, chose Duke over UCLA, Arizona, Stanford, Texas A&M and Florida. He is ranks as the 14th-best player in the Class of 2014, according to ESPN. Winslow's strength is his defense, as he can guard multiple positions thanks to his lateral quickness. His athleticism extends above the rim, as he first dunked in eighth grade, his high school coach, Harold Baber, said at his announcement."

If a couple have just enter Islam, do they have to do the Nikah?
Praise be to Allah,
Ibn-Kodama, may Allah blessed him, said that unbelievers marriage is considered lawful when they are converted to Islam and there is no need to check their contract types and how they are undertaken because they do not require a legal guardian, witness, acceptation formula or other conditions of Muslim marriage contract.
Ibn-Abdel Bar said that most Olamas (scholars) agreed unanimously upon the legality of non-Muslims marriage contracts in case of thier conversion to Islam together providing that there is no kinships or foster-age between them.
At the age of our prophet Muhammad , some people were converted to Islam together with their wives and he left them on their marriage and never asked them about their marriage conditions or how it was undertaken. Finally, this object is known to us by tradition and necessity so it becomes as an assured reality

I said back in my first impressions of the season that I didn't question watching Jormungand at all. The first season was okay and enjoyable so why not continue on? Season tro has exceeded the expectations set by the first season. Well, not that I really had any. Though I'd never have believed it if you had told me that in a season as good as this, that it'd be Jormungand I could barely stand the wait for.
I did think Hex was going to be a bigger antagonist but I guess it makes sense symbolically that she'd be taken out at the same time as R. Plus the way she went down was so big and over the top and such a perfect representation of Koko's grief and anger that it wrapped the arc up perfectly. I'm unsure if Bookman will continue as the antagonist now since he lost both of his most prominent agents but that scene at the end (where he kind of seemed insane) implies he might be?
I also enjoyed the Koko we got to see in this episode. She's usually calm and collected but she got her first wham moment when R revealed he was a spy and the second when she thought Jonah might die and it was going to be him or R. Even her telling R that it was fine and she wouldn't tell anyone seemed very very slightly hysterical. If Jonah were to die, hypothetically since he might be the one who walks away from everything instead of her, she would snap like R thought she would. If she ordered an air strike to kill one person as revenge for R, I can't imagine what she'd do to avenge Jonah.
We're probably not going to find out Koko's motives until the very end but I can't wait. Telling Chinatsu before she was shot as well as R and Hex mentioning it in this episode has really hyped me up for that. Since Koko was worried about becoming a monster, I have to wonder if it's something maybe good? Since Miami was there for the rockets and she didn't want her technology to be used for wars. I'd like to believe that's true but I'm not going to hold out for it. Still hoping it doesn't come down to Jonah vs. Koko though.
(Also, while the week wait of each episode is terrible enough as it is, my love of the first soundtrack makes the wait until the end of December for the 2nd OST almost unbearable)

text: On Thursday last week I decided it would be an interesting trip to drive the Roadster to Stuttgart for the weekend, calling in at Darmstadt to visit friends working there on Friday night. Knowing that Talkradius has an HPC just across the border from the Netherlands and that I could get a slow charge in Darmstadt, it would have been possible to leave after work on Friday afternoon and then get to Stuttgart on Saturday lunchtime. I sent off a couple of messages to check that was possible only to then find my friends were going to Düsseldorf on Friday evening instead. They invited me to join them and I set about trying to see if there was open-access charging available there. As luck would have it, there was a parking garage with several types of EV charging just down the road but even better, a Tesla HPC at the Meliá hotel around the corner from theirs. Perfect. I booked a room at the hotel for less than the cost of theirs + parking at the other location. Next came the issue of getting to Stuttgart the next day. Knowing that I had an extra 150 miles and extra charge stop to cover, it meant leaving quite early and therefore drinking sensibly the night before! Such is the price you pay for EV ownership. I contacted Juwi AG through their website to ensure that charging with their HPC is possible on the weekend. Juwi is located half way between Düsseldorf and Stuttgart at the small town of Wörrstadt so was ideal and saved a trip into Frankfurt. They let me know that it was and that security guards would be on site 24/7 so I should make myself known to them. My plan for charging at Stuttgart (actually Hochdorf, which is just outside on the eastern side of town) was to charge in the underground garage of my friends' flat. This would mean using a normal domestic Schuko plug and loading up as much as possible. Knowing that this might not be enough in the time I had available, I also saw there was a 32A point in the nearby town of Kirchheim and also 3 Roadster HPCs listed in the area. As I would be driving past one on the way home (at Neuss GmbH) and nearby another (at Hummel Systemhaus) on the Saturday evening, I contacted both so that I had a plan B. Neuss said yes straight away and Hummel also said yes, but they didn't see the email until Monday (no matter, I now have a contact for next time). With permission to use the chargers I would need, I was all set. Friday afternoon came and I'd done a range mode charge on the Roadster. The distance to Düsseldorf from work was at around the normal distance I expect for range mode when on the motorway. Just in case, I'd spotted that there was a Fastned station on my route near Utrecht that I could top up for a short stop if necessary. However, because many of the roads on that route were limited to 100 km/h and it was a hot day, I got to Utrecht with plenty of margin and decided to push on. Reaching the German border, I'd hoped to snap a cheeky photo of the Deutschland sign but in fact they put it 1km before and I wasn't ready. Nevermind – I was now on the autobahn so it was time to be alert and watch out for the inevitable Bavarian saloons going past at Warp 9. I was initially keeping it to a sedate 120 km/h (75 mph) but I drew the line at an Opel Corsa passing me, so I decided to speed up. Having plenty of margin in hand and knowing that there was an HPC at my destination, I maxed out the Roadster as much as possible on the two lane autobahn, reaching 200+ km/h and motor temperature above 120C on the few occasions when white Mercedes Sprinters were not trying to do an impression of Sebastian Vettel. I arrived at the hotel with plenty of time to spare, only to then find this… On informing reception, it was apparent that they had no record of cars in the car park and no means to contact the drivers. To be fair to the drivers, there was no signage at all and they were unlikely to spot that grey box on the wall was an EV charger. The hotel was aware that I was bringing a Tesla as I asked them to check the HPC was still present when I called to book and it would have been courteous to block off that space. In future I will be more specific. On this occasion the best they could do was put a note on the windscreen. I went to my room and waited for the others to arrive. Upon checking after an hour, the car 3 spaces from the HPC had gone and it was just possible to stretch the cable around the other two. I put a not on my dash with instructions to disconnect the car and call me or reception if needed, then joined the others for beers - half expecting an angry phone call which thankfully didn't come. I headed back to the hotel later and disconnected the car before going to bed, just in case they decided to leave before me. Unfortunately this meant leaving the car range charged overnight, but I decided that would be better than waking up to a disconnected cable or worse, a broken charge port. Leaving the hotel at 8:15, the streets of Düsseldorf were all but deserted. The first car I saw, which followed me for a bit, was a Renault Zoe. Then a police car, which thankfully didn't take any interest in the English guy trying to get his satnav to work while driving through a strange city. Eventually I was back on the autobahn and heading south via the A57 and A61. It was a foggy morning heading through the mountains, but after an hour it began to clear. There was a lot of interesting hardware heading my way – probably to an event at the Nürburgring that weekend – but the strangest thing I saw was a Canadian registered Mazda. He must have had a long trip! After some time I crossed the magnificent tall bridge over the misty Moselle valley and began the drop down towards the wind turbines of the Hunsrück and the rolling vineyards around the Nahe. As I turned off the autobahn to cut across to Wörrstadt, I was struck by how much the area looked like northern Italy, a real difference from the green mountainous terrain that surrounds it. As I pulled into Juwi's entrance, everything was quiet. I got out and walked around, eventually spotting a chap who was expecting me. I explained in my limited German why I was there and he lead me to the Tesla HPCs (yes they have two) and fetched an English speaking colleague. The staff there were very welcoming and we struck up a conversation about the area and driving Teslas long distance. He suggested I could take a walk around their site and look at the wind turbines at the back. As he wasn't from there, he didn't know what facilities were nearby, but suggested I walk down to town. Juwi AG seems to be an interesting company. They have interest in renewables worldwide, but also on site they have demonstrations of passivhaus buildings and units for other companies, all built in as sustainable way as possible. After getting up close with the turbines and checking out the phenomenal solar canopies over the car parks, I decided to head off to find something to eat. I found a footpath leading through a small industrial estate to get to town avoiding the main road. Eventually I found a small square with a couple of Italian restaurants, one specialising in pizza and pasta and the other in ice cream. Charging in EV for a couple of hours isn't so bad when you have that available. If that is not your thing, then there are German, Chinese and Kebab places there too. Wörrstadt is a pretty little place and I am glad I found it. Charging done, I headed off towards my end destination. My route took me past Hockenheim and through Stuttgart. Not long after leaving Juwi, it occurred to me that I hadn't seen any other Tesla's on the trip so far. Just as I thought that, a red Model S passed me going the other way in a contraflow near Eppelsheim. Cutting across to Stuttgart on the B35 and B10, I passed the HPC that I expected to use the next day. The route was more pleasant to drive than the autobahn, but a word of warning about speed cameras – Stuttgart is full of them. My route also took me right past Porsche and Mercedes' works - the land of dinosaurs. Arriving at my friends' place, it seemed there was a little misunderstanding. I had thought there was a plug in the garage but the only one was operating the door opener. Luckily I had packed a 25 metre extension cable, which we ran up the stairs and into the laundry room. There was a spare socket, but on inspecting the wiring leading to it I wasn't confident it would support more than 10 Amps and so that is what I set the car to. Later that evening we also drove 7km to Kirchheim and used the free, no RFID and ICE free 32A charge point there provided by the Stadtwerk while having a spaghetti ice. Well done Kirchheim, this is exactly how it should be done. The spaces are even monitored by the parking office by the garage entrance. The next morning it was time to head back and so I set off at 9 AM with an 87% standard charge. Arriving at Neuss GmbH, I thought an hour on their HPC would fill the car up. The owner had sent me instructions on how to get access on a Sunday, but when I arrived the gate was open enough to get the Roadster in. I parked and took a look around the area, hoping to get into the Bonbon museum or Gummi Bear Land – but alas both were shut. Instead I plotted a route that would take me to Darmstadt and lunch with my friends there. It was an opportunity to snap the car outside the European Space Operations Centre – the 3rd ESA site it had been to that week. There is charging inside ESOC, but gaining access on a Sunday was not possible and hence I headed to the only charge point shown in the town centre, at a place called Darmstadtium. It took me a while to find this, as it is in an underground car park accessed from the opposite side of the building to where the point is located on the map. When I got down there, I found the space easily enough, but then it turns out that one has to visit the reception desk upstairs to start charging – which is only open between 8 and 8 on weekdays. Worse still, the door to the stairs which brought me out into the square beside the building closed shut behind me. Oh well, time to get some lunch. I met my friends at KFC. On coming back it was clear that all the pedestrian entrances were locked, despite this car park being advertised as 24/7. Not cool Q-park. I walked down the car access ramp and paid my 1.80 Euro, unplugged and got out of there. This was the only failure to charge on the whole trip. Why organisations think it is acceptable to have a manual charging process that can only be initiated during opening hours in what is otherwise a 24/7 car park is beyond me. My friends said that they remember this being a big thing in the local press with the usual pictures of politicians declaring how their 16A charge point made them a town of the future. It figures. Darmstadt – look to Kirchheim for how to do this properly. I headed off for the 30 minute drive back to Juwi – thankful that with an HPC I wasn't going to get any of that kind of trouble. Pulling straight into the space, I decided to test the other HPC but found that it was set to 60A and not 64A like the first one. I swapped them and headed to town to get an ice cream, buy some red bull and explore Wörrstadt a bit more. It was my intention to get to the Nürburgring on the way back but I was conscious that I was going to be setting myself up for a late arrival back at home – and not to mention at Talkradius's place. He had very kindly provided me some directions for a picturesque drive up the Rhine via Koblenz, but conscious of the time, I decided it was more sensible to take Google Maps' suggested "avoid motorways" route via Cochem (the Rhine trip I will almost certainly try to do in the future). This saved around an hour, not to mention extra charging when I got there. I took the roof off and retraced my steps to the west. I wasn't disappointed. The rolling hills around Wörrstadt soon gave way to the higher forested terrain of the Hunsrück, from where upon cresting one summit I was greeted with a most amazing sight: Wind turbines as far as the eye could see. I have never seen so many in one view, there were literally hundreds and not small ones either. It's clear how Germany gets so much of its power from this source on windy days. Personally I do not think they detract from what is a very beautiful part of the world – and it is nice to think that they were contributing a little to your motive power – but I can understand how some locals had reached the limits of their tolerance for any more in the area. I was weaving between them for at least an hour and for the likes of Simon Jenkins, such a sight would undoubtedly be a green hell. Between there and the Nürburgring, the landscape – particularly around the steep sided Moselle valley – makes for some excellent driving roads. There are pretty villages and many castles which I wish I'd had time to stop and explore. Furthermore, there is hardly any traffic. Considering that this region is about as far from London as is Cornwall, I know that I will make the effort to return. Arriving at the Nürburgring, I first headed to the location of a charging point marked on Chargemap.com opposite the main entrance. Nothing. There was a taxi parked where it should have been but there was no sign of the point. I parked in the nearby car park and looked around on foot. I asked the taxi driver if he knew of any "stromtankstellen für Elektroautos" but he said he only knew of one 5km away (which was also right). Not good. However I knew there was another at the Ring somewhere because I'd seen pictures. There was a second marked on Chargemap.com 300 metres away so I chanced getting into that. Fortunately, not only did it exist but it was accessible from the road. I hooked up, but the next problem was that it had stopped appearing on Plugsurfing's app (I would swear it was on there when I looked on Friday). After a quick call with the point ID number I was in business. I only needed about 30 minutes on the 32A point to give me a more comfortable margin to Talkradius' HPC. I took the opportunity to look around and managed to get up trackside. However, everything was closed up so no bumper sticker for me. As befitting the track's status as a Mecca for petrolheads, the place had more "all mouth, no trousers" small hatchbacks with loud tailpipes driving around than Southend-on-Sea on a Saturday night. A bunch of British lads pulled up in front of the large Nürburgring sign in their noisy Astras and spent the next 15 minutes taking photos of their cars. Good idea, I thought, and once they had gone unplugged the Roadster to do the same – only for a bunch of Spanish Astras to pull up and do the same. I waited 5 minutes and then gave up. As I was driving off I saw them leave and quickly circled back to get my turn. It was now dark and so I headed down from the Eifel mountains and back onto the autobahn. I debated taking a shorter route but being tired and in unfamiliar territory, I decided this was safer. Arriving at the exit for Hückelhoven, I found it blocked due to works and quickly regretted that decision. Fortunately the next was only a few km further and my policy of always keeping a 20 mile margin paid off. I pulled up at what I thought must be Talkradius' place (due to the post with sockets by the street), but at first couldn't figure out where the HPC that I had seen pictures of was located. It was dark, so I hopped out and looked around using my phone to see, finding the lit garage after walking up the driveway. I pulled the car up and plugged in, and was quickly met by a familiar face. Despite it being late and me expecting to be snoozing in the car for a few hours, I was asked in for a drink and we caught up on all the stories from the German and British Tesla scene. I was very grateful for somewhere warm to sit and for the hospitality I received while there. Three hours passed very quickly and before long, I was downing a strong coffee and hitting the road again. The last leg of my journey consisted of 2.5 hours of mostly motorway driving across the Netherlands to get back to Leiden, with the radio tuned to whatever station I could pick up and the air conditioning set to cold. Most of the distance was on unlit stretches with the odd truck for company, punctuated by the occasional very impressive intersection. I made one wrong turn that funnily enough almost took me into Tilburg thanks to a delayed instruction from the satnav (Google – please sort out Lollipop on the Galaxy S5 by the way, it's embarrassing) but eventually rolled into my temporary Dutch home at 5 AM. It had been a heck of a trip and perhaps not one that I would try to cram as much into again, but on reflection the Darmstadt excursion had cost me around 4 hours in extra charge time, driving time, searching for the charge point and lunch eaten while not charging – but not being sure if I would get back there with the Roadster again, I deemed it worth the effort. Would I recommend attempting this trip on such a tight two day schedule to other Roadster owners? Probably not. It would have been more comfortable to take three days for sure. Of course, in a Model S it would be child's play, but without supercharging it is extended very much by the necessary stops. However, if you want to see some beautiful countryside on fantastic back roads with the roof off on a sunny day, while discovering a side to Germany that you don't always see, I can't recommend it highly enough. I will definitely be going back. Thanks to all I met and didn't meet who allowed me to charge and who showed fantastic hospitality, and to supercharge-me - Bewertungsportal zum Tesla Ladenetzwerk for taking the initiative to map the essential HPCs for this kind of trip that inspired me to take it at such short notice. I would love to see a stream of Roadsters making such trips around Europe now that site is documenting HPC locations.

Lucid Dreamers: Josh Barnett & The Story Behind 19nine
This post is sponsored by Lucid Coffee Bar, a hidden gem in downtown Newburgh. The Lucid's Dreamers campaign celebrates those that have big dreams by telling their unique stories and experiences.
My first encounter with Josh Barnett was over an ice cold beer at an iconic German joint, called the Gerst Haus, on Evansville's west side Franklin Street. We were sitting out on the back patio, enjoying a break from the stifling hot Indiana sun that was falling behind the horizon, not unlike a basketball destined for a buzzer beater.
My first impressions of Josh would hold true to the individual I would grow quite fond of as both a friend and mentor in the years to come.
He was both intense and laid-back, a born hustler with the patience to outwork the fiercest of competitors. He was a diehard fan of college sports, with a particular liking to basketball. He possessed a keen eye for style, which was made very apparent in both how he dressed himself and the company he was building from the ground up.
Fast-forward a couple years and yet again I would find myself sitting across from Josh at Lucid Coffee Bar, except this time I would be interviewing him for this amazing story.
Watching Josh sip his green tea seemed counterintuitive as he wore a Nike snapback, some version of Jordan's and a badass 19nine T.
Remember what I said about him being both intense and laid-back?
By day, Josh Barnett dedicates his time to educating America's youth at Washington Middle School; by night, he builds the notorious vintage sports apparel empire, known as 19nine.
I had been sporting the coveted 19nine brand for years. But I didn't realize its full potential until I started finding my favorite t-shirts stolen from my closet, hidden away somewhere in my girlfriend's belongings.
19nine had accomplished something with college basketball T's that no other brand had done before -- non-fans were wearing them and loving them.
I was intrigued, and so I asked, how 19nine became… 19nine.
"I had a golf scramble for high school and college buddies called "The Pound It" up in Indianapolis. It was a weekend where everyone came in from wherever they were in the country. We had guys from New Jersey and even Arizona. It would just be a weekend where everyone would stay at my house and we would play a ton of golf and have fun.
It started out with a little over 30 people and at the peak, it got up to over 100.
Anyways, Kevin Spahn and I would make t-shirts for the event each year, and eventually, we decided to start printing on premium T's. People would take them home after the weekend and hit me up, 'Barnett, you got any more of those t-shirts? My friend wants one. My brother stole it, and I can't get it back.'
So, when people started taking the shirts, we realized we may have something here. That's when Spahn and I hooked up with Aaron Loomer, and Chad Amo and started brainstorming ideas for a t-shirt company.
We decided we wanted to produce quality, vintage collegiate sport's t-shirts with thought and meaning behind them.
The first year we didn't have a website or anything. We just went to people with businesses, foundations and charities and asked them if we could do their t-shirts. We started to take-off when we designed the t-shirts for the Wes Atterbury Foundation Annual Golf Scramble.
We thought we needed a lot of money to start 19nine, but today we laugh about it. The 4 of us each put in right around $1,000 to get 19nine off the ground. That's it"
Today, while 19nine is still young, they are growing at a lightening pace, having partnered with some of the biggest names in College basketball -- Butler, Purdue, Indiana, Memphis, Michigan State, Wake Forest and Xavier, to name a few.
A big part of this growth can be attributed to their recent purchase of Retro College Cuts, which has positioned 19nine as the only manufacturer of retro college basketball shorts in the United States.
"Our aim is to bring back the nostalgia of college basketball in the 70s, 80s, and 90s but to do so in a modern fit."
Josh went on to explain that this growth hasn't always been easy, and most weeks he and the two other owners put in a full work week outside of their 9-5's. He reflected on the grind that comes along with running his own business, and he said something that I felt summed up both him as an individual and the company he helped create, very well.
"You have to love it. It's so cliche to say, but it's true. I don't care about the money, I just want to make cool shit. That's what I love. Period."
Final Five
1. What is a daily routine that keeps you on your A-game?
"I don't really have a daily routine when it comes to 19nine because I work full time as a social studies teacher. So, my routine is on the school side of things and then I hustle to fulfill my 19nine obligations after class and at night."
2. What book do you most often gift to other people?
"Most recent is "Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight. It's a great book, both interesting and inspirational. All start-ups and entrepreneurs should give it a read."
3. What is your vice?
"I don't really have much of a filter. You pretty much know where you stand with me at all times. It's both a blessing and a curse."
4. What is your superpower?
"I am up late and out of bed early -- I'll sleep when I'm dead."
5. If you could have a billboard at the busiest intersection in the world, what would it say?
"Phil Knight has a quote in one of the last pages of "Shoe Dog" talking about the journey meaning more to him than the money or fame. I wouldn't know because I don't have money nor fame, but if I had to put something on a billboard, it would simply be, "Enjoy the Journey."
