New TV Shows Picked UP
Even in this new fall season of television, two new shows already have some good news.
The first show is already becoming a favorite of mine. Sleepy Hollow has been renewed for season 2. I love Tom Mison as Ichabod Crane. Nichole Beharie brings some real life to the Abbie Mills character and both actors complement each other well. The entire setting, backstory, and Crane's 18th century knowledge, to me, is what makes this show a hit.
The second show I want to mention is Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D has been picked up for the full 22 episode season. I really want to see it succeed. The series has picked up some momentum in the last few episodes, but we need to see more overarching stories and recurring villains (even some big ones) to make it viable. That will help it tremendously. I also think this show can be a real launching pad for the new members of the Avengers set to make appearances in the next movie.

Thank goodness it wasn't like this yesterday. Yeah, I know it's not really all that snowy by other peoples standards but it's bound to cause us English type folk a few problems - very pretty though.
Just came back yesterday from a lovely weekend with my girlfriend down at Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest. We stayed in villa 199 which I'd recommened to any couple wanting a fairly quiet time away, but close to most of the main attractions not to need hiking boots. One highlight would have to be the wildlife found just outside the villa's patio doors, including grey squirrels, rabbits, mallard ducks, moorhens, blue, longtailed and great tits, chaffinches and even a little goldcrest - fantastic! It was so great to have all that wild(ish) life outside our door, though we could have done without the scary mute swan pair which came right up to the glass of the patio and started knocking on the glass with their bills.
Really looking forward to going again, though we'll probably try the one up in Whinfell Forest, Cumbria next time just to see our elusive native red squirrels.

More wildlife spotting, again at night, around 11:30pm - who needs to get up at 6 in the morning when all the wildlife will come to you? So anyway, I was driving back from my girlfriends place last night, and just as I was approaching the ring road I did spy a little frog hoping its merry way over the road.
How it managed to make it to the other side I have no idea, as there was a car in front of me which the frog just seemed to jump out from underneath, without a care in the world. And me being of the geeky variety could only think of that classic video game Frogger. I hope the little guy got to where he was going.

Dan Byers – Ohio_Danimal —— Cycle South 2018 Edition. From Ohio to wherever man.
When you go into Ride Reports you think almost all of what you'll read is sunshine and roses..but that's not always the case.
A life-changing trip in more ways than one, Dan and I talk online often and one thing you quickly understand about him he is a RIDER and a very motivated one at that. You'll see in the interview that something happened that would make most riders settle into their LazyBoy and not get out of it, not Dan! He had good motivation before now he is extremely motivated, a life goal needs to achieved and I expect it to come to fruition very very soon.
Tell me first about the motivation to leave, what did you do to make it happen, what did you stop doing, what did you sell?
My motivation for this trip was multi-faceted. I've been riding motorcycles since 1976, and by that time had already viewed an 8mm film copy of the 1971 indie movie "Cycles South", a story of three friends from Denver Colorado who decide to ride their bike down to Panama. It's a budget movie, but has countless scenes depicting not only what we now call "adventure" riding, but also had some mild nudity and sex scenes, something appealing to a young teenage boy!
A decade of being glued to my computer reading ride reports on Adventure Rider and Horizons Unlimited also fueled the desire to drop everything and go someday. Riding as far South in the America's as possible always looked like my target, and even as a young man I loved Latin culture.
Also, the corrosive political environment in the United States played a big part in my final decision as to when I would leave. I literally gave my notice at work (a 12-year corporate purchasing job) the day after the last Presidential election. I really wanted to ride and see Latin America before relationships with those countries soured any further.
To make this trip happen, I decided to cash in the 401K plan at the company I left. Because of the "55 Rule", I was able to access the entire amount without paying penalties for early withdrawal. I did, of course, have to pay taxes on the total, but that should leave me with just enough to make it there and back!
On the financial end, it's worth mentioning that I had suffered through a painful, costly divorce and custody battle just over a decade earlier, leaving me homeless and saddled with over $100,000 in debt. Even with a decent salary, it seemed to take forever to pay that debt off. As I got closer and closer to zero debt, it also seemed fitting that the position of being debt free would also mesh nicely into the plan.
Lastly, I have suffered from a neurological disorder for many years known as "cluster headaches". This is, when happening, completely debilitating. I was, at the time the decision was made to go, in remission from this painful affliction for over a year. I am still pain-free as I write this!
What did I stop doing? I stopped working!! Seriously, I tried to start exercising more, going on long difficult hikes multiple times a week in the nearby Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I also tried to improve my health by starting a low-carb diet, which dropped 18 lbs from my frame, but the last few months before departure were filled with many "going away" parties, and I really let my diet slip….more on that later.
To help raise additional funds, I started selling all my hobby items. Radio controlled airplanes and equipment. Drones, motorcycle parts, my car, extra motorcycle clothing I had, you name it. As much as I could within reason was sold.
Why did this itch of travel needed to be scratched?
I've always ridden more than most folks I know or even my riding friends. All the years on Sport Touring bikes, flying around the USA, I averaged close to 20,000 miles each season, and this is in Northeast Ohio! With my Father now over 80 years old, and reasonably healthy, and my son Spencer now in Graduate School at Boston University and doing well, I determined that I deserved this trip finally, especially after so many years of hard work spent just to get back to zero financially.
It seemed like the time was right, right now!
How long had you been on the road?
On this journey, I was on the road right about five months. I just returned home to Ohio recently, cutting my trip short by over 6 months, and not achieving my goal of Tierra del Fuego, sadly
How many miles have you traveled since you left home?
Just over 22,000 miles total on the trip.
Do you feel other riders had an influence on you good or bad about the direction of your ride, more in a metaphoric sense than anything else?
Yes, definitely! Yourself included Paul, as well as Egle's trip on the little Chinese bike. Others who had a direct impact were (not in any particular order) Glen and Neda, Graham, Infinity Jelly (Royce), Canuck Charlie, Donnie, Lonestar, Radioman, amongst many others.
And the influence was far more than metaphorically. It was literal. And as far as anything bad I may have picked up? Nahhhh lol.
You are on a DR650's what do you love or hate about it for overland travel, do you have a mental list of things you'd change now you have more experience?
Hmmm, good questions. I am not a DR650 aficionado, but picked this bike to build based upon other's experiences, determining reliability, ease of maintenance and parts availability South of the border. Using the bike build write up that you yourself posted, along with Moto-Phil's, I started buying the parts needed. As I got such a good deal on the bike (2011 with 62 miles on it for $4000 out the door) I went all in and built my dream RTW bike, modifying nearly every aspect, leaving only the motor stock (for reliability/MPG)
Never rode a DR650 stock much, so it's hard to compare, but with the 30L Safari tank mated to the Yenkro rally fairing, fitted with the Corbin saddle, she's a very comfortable mount, and a wonderful place to spend the day watching things pass by!
I do have a few ideas for changes/improvements I'll be making before my next attempt at the tip of South America.
One would be a custom tool/spare parts box to fit behind the left pannier. This would free up my left pannier for other things, reducing load size.
Another will be to go lighter on my rear rack/top box. Having the big aluminum Givi Trecker Outback was too much weight up high, making the bike a beast to pick up when dropped offroad.
Aside from that, the time I spent detailing the DR was time well spent, as I truly feel she's one of the nicest prepped DR's out there for this kind of travel.
Do you have a dream bike that isn't your current bike – if you had an unlimited budget?
I'm excited by the Yamaha T7 Tenere. Too bad it's delayed longer. Aside from that, the AJP PR7 checks all my boxes. If I were to go bigger/heavier, I think I would trust a Honda Africa Twin
Where is your favorite area to ride and why?
So far that would have to be Colorado. Stunning scenery everywhere. Incredible pavement as well as off roads options. Of course, I haven't seen areas in South America that I have a feeling might be equally as impressive.
Is there one particular road or track that stands out above all the rest?
Yes. Woody, owner of Woody's Wheel Works took me to the top of Mt. Evans. Truly spectacular at over 14,000 feet, and numerous times we had to stop to let mountain goats pass by! I'll never forget that day.
A dream location to ride to that you have yet to visit?
Yes, all points South from Colombia. I am not terribly excited about riding through Central America. Perhaps it's the civil unrest, or the repeated border crossings, but am really looking forward to South America.
Scariest moment on your travels?
The scariest moment of my trip was waking up in a hospital in Salina Cruz Oaxaca and seeing three different IV's jutting out of my arm, and not being able to sit up, and being too weak to even talk. My Spanish skills are poor, and no one at the hospital spoke English initially. I did not have my cell phone (it was back at the apartment where I was staying through Airbnb), not my wallet. They were asking for payment for this test and that test and I was terrified. Before I even understood what was happening to me, I heard Doctors trying to tell me I needed surgery, and that I was close to death when brought in.
And Salina Cruz started out ok! Arrived in town, found the apartment located on a crazy steep hillside. Checked in during a 98-degree heatwave. The apartment was newish and had great AC, so I hung out that first day, and just consumed supplies I was carrying.
The next day I decided to walk to the town street market and get food and beer and see the town. After a brutally hot hike down steep hills, I then wandered several hours through the city streets that were closed off daily for the market. There was shade from overhead red and orange colorful tarps which helped with the heat somewhat. Afraid to drink street vendor lemonade and such, and not seeing bottled water, I picked out a big bag of grapes that looked delicious.
Wanting chicken to cook for dinner along with some type of veggies, I became frustrated as I couldn't find anyone to sell me a small amount. The standard seemed to be a 2kg minimum. Far too much to be carrying around unrefrigerated in such heat.
Finally, giving up, and deciding that I still had enough food for another meal, I started back to the apt., now hiking uphill.
Of course, I started eating those grapes. Without washing them.
By mid-afternoon, I had a low-grade fever.
The next day when the woman who owned the apartment came to visit (Teresa) she could see I was distressed. She insisted I see a doctor. I refused.
The next day Teresa brought me food and over the counter constipation meds (it had been several days without a bowel movement and I was in pain), knowing I hadn't gone out. I was worse. Being a big manly man, I again refused, telling her I would be better soon.
That night, around 1 am, for some unknown reason Teresa climbed the steep staircase leading to the apartments to check on me.
She found me naked, in a fetal position, laying on the tile floor of the kitchen, soaked in sweat, in a deep fever, and having muscle convulsions.
She didn't ask this time….nor would I have been able to reply. With the help of her son Freddy, I was carried nearly unconscious to the hospital. I was passed out before I hit the bed.
Fast forward to waking up a few days later, unable to move and terrified.
In the end, I was in the hospital more than two weeks, and barely escaped needing surgery for a severe colon infection. Apparently, I had two areas of scar tissue so thick and infected it completely blocked my ability defecate.
Teresa saved my life. I have no doubt about that. I would really like to see her again, if anything just for another hug. She gave great hugs.
Part of the reason the doctor did finally agree to release me was that I would spend two more weeks recuperation in San Miguel while staying with friends there, and would have the follow-up tests being done by a doctor the hospital recommended there in San Miguel.
After the two weeks ended, and I started feeling better (I had lost 24 lbs in the hospital) I made the decision to head back to the United States.
Once back across the border, and as my strength continued, I added two more month's riding in the USA, going first to the West coast, up the coast, and then heading East across the country on the TAT (Trans America Trail)
The most memorable day of the trip you wish you could live over?
That would be the first day leaving Oaxaca City, heading into the mountains, where I ended up spending a week at San Jose del Pacifico, my favorite stop in the trip.
Do you think more people should travel and why?
Certainly. As Mark Twain inferred, it's hard to embrace any kind of prejudice once you have seen how other's live and love. True understanding is made through learning through personal experience. I have something I used to use as my taglines on forums. Something I came up with long ago. "The only thing between want and did is do". I think it says it all!
Top 3 tips for a new rider?
- Wear quality gear, especially your helmet.
- Ride at your own pace.
- Stop and smell the roses.
When you aren't riding what do you do for a job or used to do for a job?
Before I left I was the Senior Buyer / Sourcing Specialist for a large bio-pharmaceutical company. I have also been involved in purchasing in the automotive industry as well.
What does the word 'adventure' mean to you?
To me, it simply means riding to places that are new to you, and meeting new people and cultures.
What is your one favorite photo ever from all your travels?
It's a picture another rider took of me right after we finished a walking tour of the oldest winery in the America's, Casa Madero. Casa Madero, formally established as long ago as 1597, is located in Parras de la Fuente, a small town in the northern Mexico state of Coahuila.
After the tour, we went to an area with some shade to rest before riding to our motel for the day. There was a dog wandering around the winery that no doubt belonged to the winery. He was healthy and well fed. It didn't stop him however from sniffing around the folks sitting there taste testing wine, looking for a handout.
I gave him a cracker and scratched his ears, apparently in the right manner, as he climbed up into my lap and started licking my face.
I love dogs, having lost mine not long ago, and this one struck a chord. I wasn't too emotional, but the true joy in playing with that dog was deeply needed, and it showed in the picture.
Is there a fun fact that we don't know about you?
I mentioned it in my Ride Report on ADV, but I am a person who has experienced several fairly close encounters with a UFO, as had my parents when I was young. My first experience, when I was 13, lasted well over an hour, and had multiple witnesses besides myself.
Not sure if that qualifies as "fun" though.
Now you are home I know there is an itch to do it all over again, what do you have planned for the future?
For the immediate future, my plans are:
- Complete several articles I am writing about the journey and submit them to various publications, looking to get something going there.
- Tear down and refresh Sunny (my DR650) as it needs a few things taken care of, Most of the parts needed have already been ordered. I want her ready in 8 weeks
- Get a car (ughhh) that will be reliable enough for 6-8 month's use.
- Get a job (I already may have an offer working for a prior Boss whom I respect and would enjoy working for again)
- Stash cash as much as possible. As it stands right now I need about $20,000 added back to my nest egg to make me feel comfortable taking another crack at it.
- Look for more Sponsors. I have a few already, but could always use more!
Cycle South, the name of your ride report is also the name of a motorcycle movie from 1971, was the movie a motivating factor?
Yes! A friend's older brother had a copy on 8mm film, and we watched that movie so many times we wore it out. Now mind you this was in the mid-1970s, long before "adventure" riding was a thing.
I even had custom decals made for my trip that were directly spoofing the original movie poster from 1971

Gorgeous Haircuts with Bangs
Bangs are very much the trend with hairstyles nowadays. There are several kinds of bangs or fringes that you can get and with your haircut. There are full bangs, side swept bangs or side fringes, oblique bangs and more. Bangs can do a lot for your look and depending on the shape of your face and the type of bangs you get, it can make your eyes pop, it can define and highlight your gorgeous cheekbones, it can make your face look slimmer or longer or it can conceal a rather large forehead. Blunt bangs with sleek and straight hair are often the best way to go if you want to frame your face with your locks to make it stand out. A lot of celebrities like Naomi Campbell and Reese Witherspoon have this kind of hairstyles with bangs. What's so good about this haircut with bangs is that it is very chic and easy to maintain. In fact, you can easily learn how you can trim your own bangs just by watching your hair dresser or by watching videos on the internet and that's about the only maintenance you'll need to do every once in a while.

Of course you can always put your long hair in a pony tail to make your bangs stand out
The pixie haircut is another hairstyle that you can pair with bangs. Often, sides wept bangs or fringes are the top choices for the type of bangs that go with this hairstyle. A pixie cut with bangs can look very edgy and sexy at the same time. This cut is great for bringing attention to the eyes.
Short but sexy pixie hair with bangs
You can get almost any kind of bangs to go with extremely long hair
A bob cut is also one haircut style that looks great especially with side swept bangs although full bangs can also be paired with this haircut to achieve a more fashion forward look. This haircut is great for those who want hair that is not difficult style and manage.
Not everyone has the guts to get a bob cut with blunt bangs but it's really very gorgeous
Sleek. straight hair and bangs are a great combination
For those with wavy medium to long hair, wispy bangs are recommended. Some celebrities that can be spotted sporting haircuts and bangs like this are Zooey Deschanel and of course, again, Reese Witherspoon who is perhaps one celebrity who always has fringes or bangs. Wispy bangs are light and can look good on almost any face shape.
Zooey Deschanel's look on 'New Girl' has her styling with soft curls and wispy bangs
Oblique bangs are great for long. curly hair
Now, a lot of people say that ladies with round faces shouldn't get bangs because it'll just make the face look rounder but that's not true at all. The secret to getting bangs for a round face is to choose a haircut the style of bangs that will make your face look longer. For haircut, choose one that's past your chin level and give it lots of volume at the crown. For bangs, choose the side-swept type rather than full, straight, chopped bangs as the latter will just add more weight to your face.

Medium length curly hair and side swept bangs
When considering getting bangs, it;s always a good idea to look for inspiration on the internet or for advice from your hairstylist. If you're not sure how you would look with bangs or fringes on, you can always get those clip-on bangs and see if you will like the outcome.

As the day progressed, the clouds formed, the sky's darkened, the fog descended, and the gloom was overwhelming. By the time the day ended and turned to night, the air was so waterlogged that dew formed rain drops in mid-air and dropped out like tears from a giant eye, seemingly out no where. By the time dawn broke rain, was upon us in all its glory and sadness as if the heavens were weeping in sorrow of what just transpired.
And what just happened was the finalization it the final chapter of a book 2 year in the making. It's been one helluva book, that's for sure. Moments of glory, of pain, or sorry, or happiness, of hope, of a bright future and of death. It's had it all. As they say, we laughed and we cried. And then in the end, it ended the same way it began. But with that said, we both walked away with bags of knowledge and experience. And experience being the most valuable "thing" anyone could ever hope for, something sometimes money can't even buy. Simply priceless.
I arrived at her building to the soundtrack of Push me to the edge by lol uzi. How befitting….. "Your the worst, your the worst…." Lol. No plans to go up but she's not ready so I did. Felt a bit awkward, reminiscent of the last breakup. By the way, something that seemed so foreign now. I Remeber trying to Remeber the sorrow I felt then and I couldn't. I wondered what that feeling felt like and how I was a mess, a puddle of emotions, and yet now things are good I couldn't even recall what that felt like. Well, some have come flooding back. It's kinda hard not to allow them in. But what they is, "what resists persists" so holding them back will on keep them coming. So I have to embrace and do the incremental work to get back to where I want to be. Alive!!
So we chat, she gets ready, we go for coffee. Hit 2 diff coffee houses. Nice places, and we talk. The second place has an art gallery in the back so it was cool sitting on a bench in the gallery drinking a London fog while she sips in some prosecco in a champagne flute while people walk around us and we're talking about the end of a relationship. Very different. We go for all you eat sushi. Lots and lots of talking. Get back to her place. Have our weekly landmark group call. Then sit down to create the next chapter. Last time I thought I fkd up, I shorted her big time and was the worst. So I needed to try hard to get her back so I can prove to myself that I can do better. Well I did that. She came back. I pulled out all the stops. There was nothing more I could do without devaluing myself to a level I couldn't live with. I know in my heart there was nothing more I could do without actually changing myself. And it still ended so I can walk about clean. The crazy part is that even tho she wanted all that, that's not what was needed. What was missing for her were the things I couldn't change. My fundamental self. They way I am. The things that make me me and give me joy. For example, she wants the super masculine quite guy who will just listen to her when she needs to talk. I can't be that, I fkn love to talk!!it brings me so much joy in life to blabber on and be heard. When my words can make a difference in someone's life. That makes me so happy. It actually energizes me and gets me wired where I can't even sleep! Also, someone that will make her laugh all day every day. Granted I can be funny but I'm not that guy who's always cracking jokes. I like being silly and goofy sometimes and I do love jokes, but I can't keep it turned on all day. Some can, it's who they can be, and I can't be that. Our humour is not the same. She loves family guy and I think it's dumb. We do laugh about the same things a lot of the time but not all the time. I don't like being serious all the time but I do like being effective. I'm not that guy and honestly don't really wanna be. She said it like 100 times that she might be being immature and making the biggest mistake of her life, but she has to go out and see what she can attract. And she's not ready for long term. She hasn't had enough fun yet and if she settles down now then her wants will be wandering and that will always lead to no good. She still thinks in such a way that can only come from the kind of someone still in their early 20's. I know I was there and I can relate for sure! So I can relate and I totally understand and know that since I did everything I could possibly do without changing my core self…. Then that's it.. We both agreed it really wasn't me and really was her. In every way lol. And that left me settled.
So we created. We formulated a way of being that we are going to take on that will allow this transition to work. Neither of us want to end it but in light of her thoughts and her feelings, there can't be a way we can continue with the status quo. After much discussion we come to a conclusion that we were both in it for the wrong reasons. And if we're being honest about it, I didn't want to admit it or face it but after we got back together for the second time, shortly after I started feeling more and more dead inside. I thought to myself at one point….. Is this how I'm going to be feeling for the rest of our lives?! I could find no joy in anything. At times so depressed! Nothing that made me happy before made me happy then. It wasn't good. BUT…. it was safe, it was secure. But is that a good enough reason to stay in a relationship? Not likely. The crazy thing is when we are not committed to each other in a serious relationship, we are such better people! We have so much fun together, we laugh at everything, the physical is on fire!! And as soon as we're back in it, it's like death! So it really is for the best. There's nothing worse than being in a relationship with someone that makes you feel dead inside. This is wwwaaayyyyy better!! So for a short time now we will carry on in the new method of being with each other. We will see other people. We will for a short time continue to be physical, for better or worse. And will phase it out. There's no restrictions in place and if something changes for someone in terms of feeling and whatnot then we reassess and go from there. We might have to cut it off sooner than expected but who knows. At some point one if us will want to exit to persue something serious, but for now, here we are.
So I left her city on a night that was gloomier than any other I have experienced while with her there. Felt heavy. Sad. But the rains always make way for the a fresh new beginning. So here we are. Scared. Excited. Unsure of my footing. But brave enough to know that there's something great ahead! In whatever shape or form it's in. For now, no dwelling on what's Not so (what I don't want or don't have) and start focusing on what is (what I want to manifest). For now, I'm sad and yet settled. It's a good day to be alive.

Late this afternoon, after I had been to the zoo with a friend all morning and run some errands I was sitting down and realised I had a huge smear of avocado all down one leg of the capri pants I had been wearing. I suddenly remembered that when I had lifted Levi out of his highchair last night from dinner, he had some avocado hidden in his lap that made itself at home all over both of us as I carried him. I had made a mental note to put these pants in teh laundry pile and wash them asap. Apparently my mental notes are not worth the paper they are written on. Seriously?! What in the world happened to my brain? This kid. Thats what.
Not only is my memory shot, this Mum business has kept me so busy that I didn't have a moment to sit and notice that I was wearing the avocado until almost 12 hours after I had put the pants on! It''s truly a miracle I haven't left the house yet, totally missing a shirt or shoes. It's not like I am surprised, I hardly have time to go to the bathroom these days! And even then, I have to strike quite a pose to make sure nothing Levi is holding ends up in the bowl, and that he isn't running off with the toilet brush or the plunger, taking a bite out of or unrolling the toilet paper or just pulling the flush over and over - it is quite the balancing act!
J has been out of town on business the past couple of days so I have been flying solo with the boy. He has been a champ in terms of napping well, putting himself to sleep at night and sleeping through (Thank you baby boy, mama appreciates it so!) However, I do find that there is ususally a "crisis" of some sort while J is away. This trip was no different.
We had a lovely morning out at the zoo with some friends this morning and got back in time for Levi to have a bottle and go down for his afternoon nap. We were in his room reading books in the rocker to help him settle, as he finished his bottle = like he does every day - and then I was singing to him as I rocked him gently. It had been about 5 or 10 minutes and he was getting super sleepy but was still a little wriggly every now and then so I was still holding him because I wondered if he was about to poop and I wanted to be able to deal with it right away and get him settled. That turned out not to be a problem. He sat up in my arms, looked at me and this belch came from deep within him, followed promptly by the entire contents of his bottle and some undigested peanut butter sandwich. It was disgusting! It pooled down my shirt, in the top and out the bottom, it flowed down my pants ( on the leg without the avocado!) and sprayed over the crib, the quilt, the floor as well as all down Levi. Levi found the whole even highly amusing and giggled to himself as I stood. Shocked. Unable to decide what to deal with first. I stripped us both down and then dealt with the floor and the linens. So gross!!!
Luckily, after everything was clean and we had read a few more books, Levi went back and after about a half hour of rolling around he settle himself for a great nap.
More grossness to come I have no doubt. Good tihng my weak stomach seems to be toughening up :)
Feeling so ready for Jeremy to come home in a couple of hours and for the weekend...is it Friday yet?!

China Accuses Apple of 'Guiding Hong Kong Thugs'
China has criticized tech giant Apple for allowing an app that tracks Hong Kong police and protests on the iPhone app store.
The Chinese Communist Party newspaper accused Apple of "guiding Hong Kong thugs" by making the app available.
The New York Post reports that tech giant Apple has come under criticism from China over an app that allows users to track the location of Hong Kong protests and police activity.
The app, which Breitbart News reported recently was removed from the app store, was returned after a backlash from Apple customers and supporters of free speech, to the displeasure of the communist Chinese government.
Now the Chinese Communist Party's main newspaper has criticized Apple with the People's Daily stating that the was designed by an outside supplier and available on Apple's online store and that it "facilitates illegal behavior." The People's Daily questioned if Apple was "guiding Hong Kong thugs."

Voted #1 sleepsuit by the Independent
These beautiful Swaddle Bags are fantastic way for your baby to feel safe and comfortable at night.
By swaddling your newborn baby in the Mori Swaddle Bag, you'll help them to feel secure and sleep soundly through the night. Traditional swaddling with muslins can be a little tricky to master at first, so these simple swaddle bags are a soft and safe alternative, helping you to get more sleep in those first few months.
The practical design of the Swaddle Sleeping Bag helps to prevent your little one from rolling onto their tummy and keeps them in a natural and safe sleeping position. Carefully crafted from bamboo and organic cotton ensures Mori's swaddle bag feels comfortable against their delicate skin.
The Swaddle Bag is suitable to be used from 15 days up to 2-3m depending your little one's development, which is approximately 5lbs (2kg) to 12lbs (5.5kg). It also has adjustable arm poppers so your baby can be snugly tucked in or given some freedom to have their arms out.
Mori's signature material is incredibly breathable and thermo-regulating, making sure your baby is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Suitable for newborns from 15 days up to 2 or 3 M depending on your baby's growth (approximately 5lbs to 12lbs)
MORI advice on how to dress your baby in MORI's Swaddle bag: The MORI Swaddle Bag can be used all year round, as it is fully lined on the inside but does not have additional filling inside. You can use it in different room temperatures without worrying about baby overheating.
When deciding how to dress your baby underneath the newborn Sleep sack, we advise using your own discretion. As general advice, in temperatures above 23°C little one can wear a short sleeve bodysuit or just their nappy. For temperatures between 18-21°C we recommend a long sleeve bodysuit or a full sleepsuit. Under 18°C Mori advise you to dress them in both sleepsuit and bodysuit.
MORI Swaddle Bag has been tested at Baby Mori factories in accordance to British Safety regulations for Safety of Children's Sleep Bags (BS 8510). All chemical and hazardous materials testing is outsourced and in compliance with UK safety standards.

Merry Christmas!
In lieu of my usual Wednesday Appalachian post, I thought I'd take you on a tour of our Christmas tree in honor of the day.
While I see the appeal of styled, themed trees, I'm one of those folks who prefers a mish-mash of ornaments each representing memories and stories I hold dear. Here are just a few from this years memory tree.
What's your favorite ornament?

(CBS SF) — Areas of the Sonoma and Napa counties torched by the wine country wildfires are under a flash flood watch with the arrival of heavy rain on Wednesday.
The National Weather Service on Tuesday issued a flash flood watch for North Bay interior valleys and mountains, including areas impacted by the Atlas, Tubbs Nuns and Pocket wildfires, as well as the Fountaingrove neighborhood of northeast Santa Rosa.
The flood watch was in to be in effect from 4 p.m. Wednesday through 3 a.m. Thursday.
The weather service said impacts could include debris flow, mudslides, and flash flooding in and around the recent burn scars.
KPIX 5 Meteorologist Paul Deanno said soaking rains will begin in the North Bay late Wednesday morning, crossing into the rest of the Bay Area throughout the day.
Most of the rain is expected to fall in the North Bay, anywhere from one-and-a-half to three inches of rain, with higher amounts in the mountains, said Deanno.
Scattered showers were expected to continue through Thursday.

Kim and I are headed off to Meredith for our annual Elders Retreat. I look forward to this time each year as we gather together with Pastor Peter & Lisa and all of the elders from GCC. This is a fantastic time together as we pray about the spiritual direction for the coming year. Last year we met in January and it was about 65 degrees with not a hint of ice on Lake Winnipesaukee. I don't think we'll be as lucky this year… but the snow all around will make the trip to the hot tub that much more adventurous tonight!
I have been spending the past few weeks pouring over journal entries from the past year and reflecting on what He has been showing me. I love this time together as elders for GCC but it also helps me get my head around what God is calling us to with the Impact Student Ministry. We've done quite a bit of planning and praying already for 2008 at Impact but this is where it all comes together for me.
If you think about it tonight and tomorrow please be praying for us all as we seek God's direction for 2008.

Light House Eclipse
By: Ben Cooper
2004 October 27
Total lunar eclipse of Oct. 27, 2004 above Ponce Inlet lighthouse in Florida, USA. As noted by the photographer "The spectacular eclipse took place on the night the Red Sox won the world series. The image was captured with a Nikon n8008 camera, one of the few SLRs that can take unlimited multiple exposures. The image was created by snapping about 37 exposures, every six minutes for the duration of the eclipse. The film was never advanced, so all 37 images were captured on the same film negative frame (the lighthouse was captured all 37 times as well; it is not a composite photo). The addition of 37 short exposures combined is the equivalent of a lengthy (about 40 seconds) nighttime exposure of the lighthouse." Ben Cooper

Being able to communicate in one of the world's most widely spoken languages is key for success in Tanzania.
Transforming Lives Through Free Adult Education
In the tourist hub of Moshi in Tanzania, being able to speak English can be the difference between getting a job or not.
But, when 70% of children in Tanzania don't make it to secondary school, how do you help these children succeed when they reach adulthood?
In 2014, African Impact began offering free English language classes to any adult who was eager and willing to learn.
The program started with 8 students, but now has an average of 50 students from all over Tanzania and Zanzibar attending classes each year.
Some students want to further their careers, some are young mothers, some are students who want to improve their grades, and some have never been to school.
Meet Melkior, Community Class Graduate
Volunteers support local teachers, like Melkior, and help to lead classes that teach different levels of English. In these daily classes, issues such as gender equality and conservation are also addressed through discussion.
But Melkior is not the only success story from our Adult Education Classes…
"I carry other peoples' goods in a wheelbarrow at the market. Before I started class, I used to miss tenders because I could not read or write where they were going. If I asked the storekeepers to help me, they used to tell me to leave the warehouse and let more serious people do the job. Since I joined class, these challenges have started to disappear. Recently, I went to ask for a tender and the people at the warehouse asked if I had someone to write for me. I told them to give me the form because I'd do it myself. I was so proud to be able to do that."
– Babu, student.
It's been five years since we opened our doors to the community of Moshi and waited, eagerly, for our first students to arrive. And what a time it has been.
Each and every volunteer and team member from across the years has helped transform the lives of hundreds of adults in this special part of Africa, and should feel very proud. We certainly do.

"I'm overweight, I'm unfit and I hate walking!! I lost my hero to cancer last year (my Grandad) and really wanted to do something special to honour such a great man.
I decided I wanted my challenge to
1, Not be anything I would actually like to do as I felt it needed to be something hard and not a treat.
2, Something that will remind me of the great man I'm doing it for.
I'm doing the Peak District challenge because it's a 50km walk that will be very hard work and my Grandad loved to walk in the Peak District and the route goes past Hope Cross, a place very close to my heart that reminds me of my Grandad"

text: Now that the Amazon Fire TV Cube has been released, a lot of people will be deciding between it and the less expensive Fire TV 3 pendant. While they look very different on the outside, thanks to the Fire TV Cube's hands-free Alexa capabilities, they're very similar on the inside. They both have the same video playback capabilities, which include 4K @ 60FPS and HDR support. That's because they both have the exact same 1.5Ghz quad-core CPU, the same Mali-450 MP3 GPU, and the same 2GB of RAM. With identical chips, you'd expect them to perform the same on benchmarks, but it turns out the Fire TV Cube is faster than the Fire TV 3. However, there's an important catch that throws things off.

Going into 09 the US is attempting to pull itself through a recession, but every gray cloud has a silver lining, hence The Grayline. The grayline amongst auto enthusiasts is the drastic drop in prices for new and used cars, especially those that are a little harder on the gas mileage. Specifically Ford Mustangs are dropping in price and the upcoming models like the 09 adn 2010 models are dirt cheap compared to previous years.
Demand for 09 Mustangs is significantly down, but it's hard to point the finger at one specific factor. Gas prices may be a leading cause, but lately those prices have plummeted as well. Mustangs are considered a luxury item, after all Mustangs are the best thing to go get groceries in, nor can they hall a load of kids to soccer practice. So the price of an 09 Mustang plummets and the enthusiasts, with a little extra dough, get to reap the benefits.
I'm always on the look out for a deal, specifically online where the market place for Mustangs is much larger than my podunk local lot. The really good deals I've found are coming off of eBay, where they regularly offer low priced entry fee auctions. This means that somebody looking to unload a cheap car can do so, well cheaply. The initial listing fee was completely dropped a few months ago in eBay motors, flooding the marketplace.
What may not mean good news for sellers is great news for buyers. Currently looking at eBay there are over 25 listings of 09 Mustangs for under $1500. Now, this doesn't mean there is not a reserve, but obviously the demand is low and it's still possible to snag a deal. I've had experience where even though the reserve has not been met, the auction ends and then the seller contacts the buyer with a second offer. Generally this second offer is below the initial reserve, allowing the seller to cut their losses and get out from under the access inventory.
Moral of the story, keep your eyes peeled because 09 is going to be the year of Mustang Deals.

When feeling into the overall vibrations of the body, undulations and reverberations of most delicious sensations can be felt moving through the spine…with each breath, with each micro movement…an ecstatic dance of intoxicating subtlety!
The body naturally and automatically contorts, squeezing sensations that feel sweet and nectar-like through the spine…holding the mind and body in deep rapture, an infinitely slow dance of coiling, squeezing, swooning Bliss!
There is no difficulty in experiencing the Bliss Resonance (the Hum of Creation) save in the unwillingness to feel and follow what is already in the range of our feeling experience.
The mind and body are exquisitely set up to experience the finest nuances of vibration. However, the fine instruments of our sensitivity gets waylaid/distracted by a world/cultural mindset that does not support (or has forgotten) how to encourage the simple mindfulness/attentiveness to the underlying "Hum/Om" that is accessible to all.
The Bliss Resonance is so very close! It is foundational and background to our very existence! We lose connection to it because of the strong overlay/resonance of a world mindset that places high value and attention on coarse and superficial vibrations/feelings…and low or no value on fine/subtle vibrations/feelings.

Vijay Devarakonda already made it high with his latest movie 'Geetha Govindam'. Now his upcoming movie 'Nota' is also creating enough buzz in both Tamil and Telugu movie industries. This movie will be a political drama and Anand Shankar is directing the movie.
The official trailer of the movie is released on 6th September and received good response from the audience. Now, the movie is facing a controversy. Shashank Vennelakanti was the assistant dialogue writer for the film and he also wrote the dialogues for the trailer. But in trailer all credits for story, screenplay and the dialogues are given to director Anand Shankar. Shashank claimed that he is supposed to get credit for that but in reality he did not even receive his payment. So he lodged a complaint against the producer K. E. Gnanavel Raja to Chennai Police Commissioner. He also urged to stop the release of the movie until he gets justice.
Mehreen Pirzada will be playing the lead female role in the film. Yashika Aannand, Nassar, Sathyaraj, Anastasia Maslova, Sanchana Natarajan, Priyadarshi Pullikonda, M. S. Bhaskar will be playing as important cast of the film. The movie is produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja under the banner of Studio Green.

227 children from Skipton and Craven took part in 79 different activities during SELFA's 2018 summer programme. Activities included sports, cookery, sing and sign and visits to the fire station and trips to the beach.
One mum said that for her son:
"accessing all these awesome activities has helped him develop his social skills as well as give him more self-confidence."
And Ofsted seemed to agree as they carried out an inspection of SELFA's summer programme in August. Overall rated as 'Good' the inspectors said:
"staff plan a broad range of fun and interesting activities"
and that SELFA:
"promote positive outcomes for vulnerable children and those who have complex needs."
On the final day of the summer programme SELFA threw a huge summer surprise in the former Ings primary school site on Broughton Road. 92 children of all different ages and abilities enjoyed the games and inflatables.
One young person, said:
"I would like it if it went on forever."
The SELFA summer programme is for children and young people who have been referred to the charity and is free for all children and their parents and carers. Money from Children in Need, the Sobell Foundation, Tesco Charitable Trust, St. James's Place Foundation and the Liz and Terry Bramall Foundation covers the majority of the costs.
Chief Officer Emma Pears said:
"We are delighted with the success of our summer programme and with the endorsement of Ofsted. A big thank you to all the children, parents, staff, volunteers and funders who made it possible."

Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology has received significant attention at the ongoing Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum. The Russian Central Bank made an important announcement regarding its plans to introduce a national cryptocurrency during the event.
The introduction of a national cryptocurrency comes at a time when Russia is mulling over the possibility of legalizing Bitcoin and other altcoins in the country. The plans to develop a national cryptocurrency was announced by Russian Central Bank's Deputy Chairman, Olga Skorobogatova.
Skorobogatova was quoted by one of the leading Russian media outlets saying,
"Regulators of all countries agree that it's time to develop national cryptocurrencies, this is the future. Every country will decide on specific time frames. After our pilot projects, we will understand what system we could use in our case for our national currency."
The Russian Finance Ministry recently announced its intentions to introduce Bitcoin regulations, offering a legal status to cryptocurrencies. The move is completely opposite to the ministry's earlier stance which involved criminalizing the use and trade of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Russia's decision to legalize Bitcoin closely follows Japan's latest move to recognize the cryptocurrency as a legally valid mode of payment. The Russian Central Bank's decision to introduce a national cryptocurrency is similar to the proposals put forward by respective regulatory bodies in England, United States and others.
Governments can save a lot of taxpayers' money and resources by adopting cryptocurrency as a legal tender. The use of cryptocurrency will eliminate the costs otherwise involved in printing, transporting and managing physical banknotes. At the same time, cryptocurrency adoption will further promote the adoption of cashless payment methods.
With the banking sector increasingly adopting blockchain technology, the transition between conventional monetary system involving physical currency to blockchain based electronic currency will be smooth. It is just a matter of time before other countries also start adopting a similar stance.

Twelve months in the world of E-Mobility: Why switch to a low emission fleet?
Looking back at the last 12 months, progress in the world of E-Mobility has been remarkable. The Government has published a strategy with clear targets to reduce vehicle emissions; cities and local authorities – like Cardiff City Council - are preparing their own electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure strategies; diesel sales are decreasing, and electric vehicle sales are on the up. But what's so exciting about these developments and, crucially, how much difference will they make in reducing air pollution in our cities?

Partner Jennifer Hernandez, who leads our West Coast Land Use and Environment Team, was interviewed by The Planning Report about filing the first-ever SB 35 application. The SB 35 bill was signed into law with the intent of increasing "by-right" development and making cities more accountable to meeting regional housing needs. If approved, the 260-unit project in Berkely, CA that Ms. Hernandez is representing could pave the way for similar development projects.
In her interview, Ms. Hernandez outlines the impact of the bill, comments on the need for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) reform, and explains the potential of housing legislation.
"The real opportunity of SB 35 is in high-cost coastal communities that have traditionally been resistant to multifamily and higher-density housing," she said.

Currowan blaze: New Moruya Fire and Rescue van baptised by fire
Moruya's Fire and Rescue rehabilitation van was only introduced in October, but has been baptised by the Currowan fire, travelling nearly 8000 kilometres already.
Firefighters have been driving the van from Moruya to Burrill Lake every morning, providing firefighters with drinking water, cold drinks and cooling chairs, Moruya Fire and Rescue captain Mark Gould said.
He said firies from Fire and Rescue, Rural Fire Service, Country Fire Authority in Victoria, and other services had taken advantage of the refreshments and resources.
After arriving at the 10am staging each morning, volunteers would drive the van through the "huge" fireground, provide the service and often distribute lunches provided by catering brigades.
He said SES was providing dinners to the volunteers.
The van crew would then return to Moruya by about 10pm to clean up and prepare for the following day.
Mr Gould said the van had been a handy resource and came at the perfect time.
At the Tathra fires, the situation was "pretty much fend for yourself".
Firefighters were filling up water bottles out of any tap they could find in the evacuated town.
He said fighting fires was easier with a cold drink and something in the tummy.
"Everyone's been very happy to see it pull up each day," he said.
He said the original plan for the Fire and Rescue van was to set up at a fixed area for a building fire or hazmat job, but the Currowan fire meant they had to travel a lot more.
"It's a little outside its initial design," he said.
The van also provided breathing apparatus cylinders.
Mr Gould said small and large businesses including Coles, Woolworths and Caltex, donated ice, fruit and vegetables, among other supplies.

in an actual classification of 4 / 5 (where 1= most change and 5 = least change).
Fire rating
Foam profiles
Tested to BS476 Part 7:1997 Class 1 surface spread of fire. Woodgrain profiles do
not carry a fire rating.
Rigid profiles
Tested to BS476 Part7:1997 Class 1 surface spread of fire.
Thermal conductivity
Foam profiles 0.07 (w/mk)
This low coefficient of thermal conductivity for Foam Profiles indicates thermal insulation properties better than brick, concrete or timber.
Rigid profiles 0.14 (w/mk)
Foam profiles 0.55 – 0.6 g/cm3
Rigid profiles 1.40 – 1.50 g/cm3
Foam and rigid profiles should not require any further maintenance other than the occasional wash down with a non-scratch, mild detergent and water. They are resistant to most acids and alkalis but can be damaged by solvents. Great care should be taken when in contact with creosote or bitumen-based products as these will
cause staining of the profiles. Painting is not recommended on foam profiles unless done by an approved contractor.
Foam profiles
Eurocell cellular foam PVC-U products are easy to work with using normal hand tools for drilling and cutting. It is recommended that the saw should have a fine tooth blade (PVC-U saws are available from Eurocell branches). PVC-U products should not be fitted below 0˚C as the boards may become brittle.
Handling and storage
Profiles are packed in polythene sleeves identifying a particular shade of white. Pr otective tape should only be removed immediately before installation to prevent damage.
British Standards
The Eurocell Building Plastics products supplied by Eurocell Profiles Ltd are produced in accordance with a BS EN 1SO
9001:2000 accredited quality system.
Based on the technical testing information obtained from BSI, the white foam and rigid profiles are covered by a 20-year guarantee and foiled woodgrain foam and rigid profiles are covered by a 10-year guarantee on colour fastness, provided they are fitted to the manufacturers recommendations.

Taby and niki were chatting at the TCB house so I quietly sneaked in and sat with them and joined the great conversation.
While we were all chatting, I did find a moment to grab a couple of nice leashes and clip them on Taby and niki while we continued a very nice talk with them. They both also did find themselves in cuffs and niki had a gag returned to her mouth too. I love these nice talks.

Jul 08, 2019
This was my first time working out with Flex so I didn't know what to expect. I loved this class! A variation of exercises uphill so the legs had an amazing workout but also included arm exercises with bands. It was a great location and nice it wasn't a million degrees out. I have a shoulder injury so I let him know before class started. He showed modifications for the arm exercises and checked to make sure I wasn't overdoing it. He was extremely encouraging to all attendees and I would highly recommend his class. I'll definitely be going again!

text: Is there any plans to add a list view option to the albums view? I normally don't have any album art (never took the time to properly find art for a bunch of random albums) and would rather have the option to view a list of albums for an artist instead of the cover art view (which is normally just the default/generic art in my case). Hopefully an update is planned (or I'm just missing a way to change the view)

Feel the beneficial effects of our Scandinavian baths Mont Tremblant by alternating between a Norwegian steam bath, a Finnish sauna and whirlpool baths, followed by a quick rinse under the Nordic waterfall in one of our outdoor cold-water basins or in the Diable River.
Our newly expanded Scandinavian baths Tremblant now include a new infinity edge hot-tub with thermal waterfall, two dry saunas, two steam rooms, several solariums and even more relaxation space. To fully appreciate the benefits of our nordic spa Scandinave, we suggest a two to three-hour visit. Our Scandinavian baths Tremblant is accessible year round, rain or shine.
Widely recognised for their energizing and relaxing properties, there are many benefits associated with our Scandinavian baths. In addition to cleansing the body, they improve blood circulation and promote the release of endorphins, associated with feelings of "well-being" similar to a "runners high". More specifically, endorphins can help improve one's physical condition and quality of life.
Scandinavian Baths – Body Warming
First , a body-heating process is initiated in order to cause surface blood vessels to dilate and increase blood flow to the skin. The eucalyptus steam bath, Finnish sauna or hot tub create a raised body temperature that ultimately causes profuse sweating and cleanses the pores.
Scandinavian Baths – Refreshing Rinse Stations
The second stage consists of closing the pores with a brief, but highly beneficial, cool rinse in a shower, waterfall, bath or plunge in the Diable River at any time of year.
Scandinavian Baths – Relaxation Areas
The final stage is designed to allow the cardiovascular system to regulate itself through a period of rest in the privacy of the relaxation areas, which include a solarium, a zero-gravity pavilion, hammocks, terraces and an outdoor fireplace.

Asian Tiger Mosquitoes Evolve to Survive Harsher Winters and Spread Further Across the United StatesAuthor: Mosquito Squad of SC Texas
Asian Tiger Mosquitoes are commonly found here in South Central Texas. The day-feeding mosquito, known for its aggressive bite and disease-spreading ability thrives in cities and suburbs where standing water in small containers provide plenty of nourishment for the development of their eggs and offspring.
However, the Asian Tiger Mosquito does well in tropical climates, rarely found in the northern portion of the country where surviving harsh winters becomes too big a burden to overcome.
Until now.
Asian Tiger's Develop Heartier Eggs
The spread of this dangerous mosquito into the central United States was aided by a recently discovered adaptation of their eggs. It turns out that when a mosquito gets a sense that winter is approaching (likely the longer nights alert them), they will lay more eggs that can go into dormancy. Dormant eggs can survive the winter and when conditions are right, will hatch in the spring.
Researchers tested how dormant the eggs are, trying to figure out if there was a difference between the eggs laid in the South by the Asian Tiger and the eggs laid in the Northern edges of their habitat.
Nearly twice as many northern eggs than southern eggs were able to survive a Pennsylvania winter. The results of the experiment suggest that the Asian Tigers that live further north, in cooler climates, have evolved to survive their newly acquired habitat. In terms of evolution, the change has progressed in just 30 years which is extremely fast for a significant change within a species. The change will allow the mosquito to continue to creep north.
Great news though: none of the eggs could survive a Wisconsin winter, so there is some time yet before the most northern states will have to deal with Asian Tiger mosquitoes on a consistent basis.
No matter what type of mosquito is surviving on your property in winter or summer, we can help. Call today for a free quote on barrier treatment services to eliminate up to 90% of mosquitoes on your property.
