Big_Mylo - Unregistered June 17, 2011 2:23 AM Go sleep on it. Lots of riders out there know they will never have the title. They dream of it, right, but they know they do not race for title.Pedrosa thought he can have it. But he never had, never will. Because he is not intelligent enough. Look at his latest blunder. A champ would have known Simo is not the fella you want to clash in corner with. Pedrosa kept it going until it ended in tears. Haven't you raced yourself, don't you know the feeling?Quoting Niki Lauda, after Vittorio Brambilla passed him with a crazy move in corner:"I have better things to do than race crazy fellas coming from behind."Now, do you know who Niki Lauda is? Probably.Do you you know who Vittorio Brambilla is ... ? 4 agree 5 disagree
IzoN June 17, 2011 4:11 AM ok.. so everytime someone comes from behind to pass you, you should give way as you have better things to do.. gonna win you a lot of races and championships that!! Reply Report abuse 3 agree 1 disagree
IzoN June 17, 2011 4:17 AM Pedrosa is purrfekt championship material.. If only he would let go of Alberto Puig.. I believe the amount of pressure under which Pedrosa rides 'cause of Puig makes him shatter (no pun intended) horrendously in a crunch situation.. Puig wants Pedrosa to achieve all that he couldn't.. That's why you see him wildly flailing his arms in desperation even when Pedrosa is leading by 6-7 seconds.. My opinion entirely.. Totally possible that A.P. is the guiding light for D.P. but I tend to think otherwise.. Reply Report abuse 2 agree 2 disagree

motofan - Unregistered June 17, 2011 11:44 AM @ Big MyloYes, I do know who Niki Lauda is. And I do know who Vittorio Brambilla is. And I also know who Toby Moody is. And I do race. Not as often as I wish, but I do. But why does it matter? I believe that Dani will be MotoGP WC. And when that day comes, you will feel like a complete fool, wont you? Lets just end this stupid discussion. 3 agree 2 disagree
Guy - Unregistered June 18, 2011 5:56 AM Maybe I'm Dani's biggest fan but he is sure a RoboCop in the making. 0 agree 0 disagree

I seem to have a G2 model that doesnt have the LTE option in the preferred network menu. Im currently using the dialing code "*#*#4636#*#*" to access the hidden men to set LTE.
The problem is when I reboot, it forgets the settings. Is there a permanent method? if not, would a custom ROM enable LTE (preferably CyanogenMod)

Pronunciation: /də ˈko͞oniNG/
Definition of de Kooning, Willem in English:
( 1904–97), US painter; born in the Netherlands; a leading exponent of abstract expressionism. He usually retained figurative elements in his work, either represented or merely hinted at, as in Painting (1948). The female form became a central theme in his later work, notably in the Women series (1950–53).

Eric Clapton Shares Jack Bruce Tribute Song 'For Jack'
Many of Jack Bruce's musical peers and disciples have shared their grief in the wake of the former Cream bassist's death on Oct. 25.
Many of Jack Bruce's musical peers and disciples have shared their grief in the wake of the former Cream bassist's death on Oct. 25.
'Planes, Trains and Eric' will include songs, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from Eric Clapton's most recent tour.
If rock and roll is dead, Tom Petty and Eric Clapton didn't get the memo -- and neither did the 'Guardians of the Galaxy.'
The two iconic artists have respectively claimed the No. 1 and 2 positions on the latest Billboard Album Charts, with the v
Eric Clapton has booked time in August to complete his next studio project.
Eric Clapton has rounded up some friends to pay tribute to one of his biggest influences.
I've loved guitar solos ever since I watched McGuinn of the Byrds pick his twelve string Rickenbacker, and Zal Yanofsky of the Lovin Spoonful play a screamin solo, then fall off the stage into the crowd and not miss a note
This weeks Freaky Fast Friday Favorite Five is going to be a strange one. I put a couple of really good guitar players in there that I have seen, and one that did something so different during the 80s that he needs to be in the conversation.
Bruce Springsteen, Robert Plant and Eric Clapton are among the headliners for the 2014 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. The annual music fest will take place over two three-day weekends from April 25 through May 4.
Was it his fast guitar playing chops? Was it the fact that he took forever to change his broken guitar strings? Was it drug-related? How did Eric Clapton come to be known as Slowhand? The answer isn't definitive, as the facts and story surrounding the nickname have changed or evolved over the years.
Eric Clapton fans with a little extra cash lying around will have a chance to relive God's mid-'70s glory days this fall with a sprawling six-disc box set that collects rare, remastered and unreleased cuts.
Eric Clapton's landmark 1992 'Unplugged' album will soon be getting a new look. 'Unplugged: Expanded and Remastered,' a two-CD/DVD set that builds upon the original release, will be available on Oct. 15.
The next time Eric Clapton adds Cream's 'World of Pain' to his set list, it should take on a little extra added meaning.

"I enjoy what I do and I think that comes across in my work," says Amy Murry, a licensed massage therapist and owner of Human Body Works in Olympia, Wash.
"It doesn't matter if you're an elite athlete, weekend warrior, musician, dancer, pregnant woman, busy mother, stressed-out worker, massage newcomer, have strain, chronic pain or are dealing with a specific injury," Amy continues. "We can all benefit from massage therapy."
With this in mind, Amy utilizes a combination of massage modalities and aromatherapy to craft a truly unique and personalized experience for her clients. As a healing method, Amy says massage is often overlooked, but claims it's a powerful therapy that can prevent and heal many injuries and ailments.
Amy is committed to helping clients heal naturally. "In nature, things change with the forces of the elements upon them," she says. "Our bodies are constantly regenerating, growing and changing; we are malleable with forces upon us."
Amy's Wisconsin childhood, largely spent outdoors, also affected her techniques. "Bringing the elements of plants and nature into my work is very important to me," Amy explains. "I teach my clients very simple, natural concepts of nutrition, massage therapy and exercise."
A typical session with Amy begins with a discussion of the client's concerns and goals. Clients are encouraged to customize a personal blend of aromatherapy oils to be used during the massage. Amy allows clients to disrobe to their comfort level, and during the massage only the portion of the body being treated will be uncovered. Several different massage modalities will be utilized based on client's needs and wishes.

Licensed massage therapist Rachael Kain works with clients out of her private practice, Healing Energies, in Bainbridge Island and Bremerton, Wash.
With two decades of industry experience, Rachael has spent a sizable part of her career focusing on medical massage and injury treatment, working with clients to improve their health and well-being by facilitating the recovery process and relieving pain and discomfort. "Yet I am just as skilled in relaxation massage," she notes. "My treatments are a combination of appropriately deep therapeutic touch with intuitive energy focus."
Rachael's most popular massage service is known as the "Body Listening" treatment, which can run from two to three-and-a-half hours. "The actual length of the treatment is determined intuitively by the patient's body," she describes. "This brings about the best results for the patient, as their body is receiving the maximum amount of treatment without going beyond its limits."
Rachael is a graduate of the New York College of Health Professions. Although she maintains her practice in Washington, she holds an additional license to practice bodywork in the State of New York.

Christine Uhl established Bella Luna Massage, her private bodywork practice, in 2008.
Michelle's inspiration was born out of personal experience. Incurring injuries due to a severe car accident in 2000, she credits massage and chiropractic adjustments for her ability to heal and recover, and wanted to be able to help others in a similar circumstance to cope with pain and trauma too.
As a bodywork therapist, Michelle's goal is to improve her community one massage at a time. Bella Luna Massage employs several like-minded therapists with similar objectives, seeking to provide each client with the relief they deserve.
Michelle prides her practice on handling each client with care, including their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. She has more than 17 years of experience in the medical, managerial, educational and retail fields, and is a veteran of the United States Air Force.

A state licensed and nationally certified practitioner with a private mobile practice, Sarah Van Deren brings the benefits of bodywork to client's homes in Tacoma, Wash. and the surrounding areas.
Licensed since October 2009, Sarah has ample experience working in a variety of wellness settings, including a day spa and chiropractic office in addition to her mobile practice. Simply put, her goal is to improve her clients' lives no matter what it is they are looking for. "I absolutely love helping people to feel great by taking away their pain," she says.
Sarah describes how growing up on a farm gave her a strong appreciation for the importance of an active and engaging lifestyle. Through her work, she now teaches clients how essential it is to take care of their bodies as well by stretching (to keep their muscles loose and long), drinking water (to stay hydrated and clear toxins) and icing sore muscles (to jump-start the healing process). To prolong the outcome of a session, she also equips clients with basic self-massage techniques for at-home use.
While many of Sarah's clients are health-conscious individuals with an affinity for exercise, whether yoga, running or frequenting the gym, she is capable of working with all kinds of people and says that, no matter the person, education is key. "I motivate my clients by helping them to figure out what is causing their pain or discomfort," she says, "so that they understand exactly what is happening in their body."

Obama gets a big bounce
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
President Obama got a big bounce on Monday. Actually, a whole bunch of bounces.
From White House Dossier by way of a photo ABC's Jake Tapper tweeted, here are the basketballs that were used during a hoops clinic for kids at Monday's White House Easter Egg Roll:
It's always important to teach kids that one of the keys to good sportsmanship is modesty.
The White House had planned on including basketballs featuring Joe Biden's likeness, but those all popped when aides tried to put in the plugs.
Here's Obama driving the bucket with a ball sporting his own photo. I haven't seen anything like it at a WH Roll since 1978 when Jimmy Carter's brother passed out in the potato salad while clutching a can of Billy Beer.
Everything else aside, in order to have deserved your picture on the basketball, you've got to hit better than one out of five from the outside. Is that too much to ask?

If you are a vegan, it can be tough to meet people who are likeminded. Throw an LGBT tag into the mix and it can downright impossible at times.
This group exists as a hub for creating fun, inclusive and safe events for people who identify as vegan and LGBT, their friends and supporters.
If you live in London or just pass through occasionally, we want you to be a part of our growing community. Come along to a meetup, make new friends and feel nothing but glory about who you are!
Your ideas for events are more than welcome.
Even though you don't need to identify as vegan to be part of this group, we ask everyone to respect that we are meeting as vegans. We ask you to only order vegan food when we are in a venue with non-vegan options. Thanks!

5 things to know after Colts beat Texans 25-3
Andrew Luck liked everything he saw Sunday.
T.Y. Hilton got back in the routine of making plays. Trent Richardson got a chance to play power football. Hey, the Colts even scored two touchdowns in the first half.
After dealing with six weeks of questions and concerns, the Colts are hoping they've turned the corner after a 25-3 victory over reeling Houston, which has lost 12 straight.
''It was good. I think it was more important we got it with two games left,'' the Colts quarterback said. ''Hopefully, we can get a little mojo going through these next two games. This was a good start against a good division team.''
For Indy (9-5), it was a rare breather.
Luck didn't even need his magical late-game touch, leading Indy to its most lopsided win since a 37-3 victory Sept. 29 at Jacksonville.
Luck was 19 of 32 for 180 yards with two first-half touchdown passes in a game the AFC South champs desperately needed in a playoff tuneup. Hilton caught a season-best eight passes for 78 yards. Griff Whalen caught a 14-yard TD pass and returned a punt 51 yards to set up another score, and Robert Mathis forced his second safety of the season with a strip sack of Case Keenum in the end zone. The sack also gave Mathis the franchise sacks record for a single-season record (16 1/2) and career (108), breaking the marks previously held by longtime teammate and close friend Dwight Freeney (16 in 2004, 108 in career).
But the numbers paled in comparison to the most important facet Sunday - getting ready for the playoffs.
''This was certainly something that's very positive for our football team, our organization moving forward into this next game against Kansas City on the road and then the last one here and then the playoffs,'' coach Chuck Pagano said. ''Looking forward, moving forward in the playoffs and whatnot, next week and the week after, you've got to score touchdowns. We can't settle for field goals. We know that. We'll keep grinding away.''
Here are five more things we learned Sunday:
HOUSTON HAS PROBLEMS: Even a coaching change couldn't fix the Texans this week. Keenum was picked off twice and fumbled in the end zone, which led to the safety. The defense gave up 20 first-half points to a team that had scored only 24 in the first halves of the previous six games combined. And Houston had 14 penalties for the second straight week. No wonder the Texans haven't won since Week 2.
MATHIS ATTACK: Mathis isn't slowing down after 11 seasons. He's getting better. The converted linebacker entered Sunday as the NFL sacks leader and did nothing to hurt his push for NFL defensive player of the year with four tackles, one sack, one quarterback hit and the forced fumble. Last year's defensive player of the year J.J. Watt, meanwhile, had five tackles but only one solo and one quarterback hit. He was no factor Sunday.
CASE CLOSED: Unhappy Texans fans calling for another quarterback change probably won't like what interim coach Wade Phillips had to say. Though Keenum still hasn't won as a starter, Phillips said Sunday that Keenum would continue to play behind center for the final two games and that he never considered starting Matt Schaub against Indy.
OVERCOMING INJURIES: The Colts have been hit as hard as any NFL team by injuries, and yet they already have a division title. They did it again Sunday, winning despite playing without two starting offensive linemen, despite losing a replacement starter, Joe Reitz, with a concussion on the opening series and losing their starting running back Donald Brown later in the first half. With two weeks left, perhaps the Colts can still get healthy - on and off the field - before the playoffs begin.
ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE: A week ago, after losing in Cincinnati, it appeared the Colts would be locked into the AFC's No. 4 seed. Maybe not. Denver's loss Thursday night and New England's loss on Sunday have cracked open the door just a bit. To move up, the Colts will need to win their last two games and get help. But with the way things have gone in the AFC this season, anything is possible.

Is It Healthy: Hot Sauce
by Toby Amidor in Is It Healthy?, June 7, 2012A little goes a long way but is this fiery sauce worth the heat? Here are the cool facts.
One teaspoon of hot sauce has zero calories, 6 percent of your daily dose of vitamin C and 119 milligrams of sodium. This condiment helps spice up dishes for very few calories.
Hot sauce gets its burn from a compound found in hot peppers known as capsaicin. The spiciness of hot sauce depends on the type of chili pepper and spices used. That's why the heat (and capsaicin) will vary from brand to brand.
Although some folks believe spicy foods including hot sauce is a stomach irritant, researchers believe that capsaicin can help decrease the risk of peptic ulcers. Though too much can also irritate your stomach — the ideal amount still needs to be further studied. Studies have shown that it can slightly increase your metabolism several hours after eating.
Too much hot sauce can just be unpleasantly overpowering. It's also extremely irritating to the eyes — am I the only one whose rubbed my eyes after touching hot sauce? OUCH!
Hot sauce also has sodium— if you're adding tablespoons at a time, the milligrams can quickly add up.
There is a lot of misconception about the weight loss effects of capsaicin. Although it will help slightly increase your metabolism after consuming, it will not help melt the calories magically away.
The Verdict?
Don't be afraid of the heat! A little goes a long way; no need to go overboard. Add a dash of hot sauce to soups, sauces, sandwiches, chicken wings, burgers, nachos, quesadillas, tacos or to a bloody Mary.
TELL US: We're planning a hot sauce taste test. What's your favorite brand?

Novell Launches Services For Enterprise Linux
Novell Launches Services For Enterprise Linux
Matthew Hicks
Posted 2003-12-16
Novell's Nterprise Linux Services 1.0 release brings a set of software services from NetWare to Linux servers to help enterprises adopt the open-source operating system.
Novell Inc. on Tuesday launched a set of software services to help enterprises make the switch to Linux from other server operating systems. The Novell Nterprise Linux Services 1.0, which will be available on Thursday, provides Linux support for a set of services and applications that have been available with Novells NetWare operating system. These include file and print sharing, messaging, directory services and management capabilities. The new package supports both the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution and is part of Novells plan for a dual-development track to support both its NetWare operating system and Linux that arose from its announcement last month of plans to acquire SuSE Linux AG.
In November, Novell and SuSE executives discussed their new strategy for Linux in the enterprise. To read the full story,

Novell, in its announcement, cited the need for more support, applications and mature products for Linux to overcome the remaining barriers to enterprise adoption of the open-source OS. "To realize the full potential business value of Linux, customers need a reliable source for applications, tools and support services," said Sam Greenblatt, senior vice president and chief architect in the Linux technology group at partner Computer Associates International Inc., in a statement. The Nterprise Linux Services 1.0 software consists of the following Novell applications and services: Virtual Office, for self service and collaboration; eDirectory, for directory services; Novell iFolder, for personal file management; iPrint, for print sharing; NetMail, for messaging and calendaring; iManager, for Web-based management; and Novell Resource Management, for Linux server software management.
Suggested pricing for Nterprise Linux Services 1.0 is $59 per user. It is free to customers with NetWare upgrade protection or maintenance agreements with Novell. Novell also said that its Certified Linux Engineer program will be available worldwide in February. The program provides training for the running of Linux and Novell software and had been available beginning this month to a limited audience.

I have to laugh a little. I have no idea where you got that little "skit" but it's not from the Church.
It doesn't even make sense. Our clergy are ENTIRELY volunteer. Our Bishops, Stake Presidents, missionaries, teachers, women's leaders, men's leaders, children's leaders- NONE are paid for what they do. And most are not even formally "trained." Missionaries are. And there is ongoing teaching for all leaders, but most are just called and just start their calling right away in addition to making their livings and living their normal lives.
In fact, you have to PAY your own way to serve a mission. And some 60,000 missionaries are currently paying their own ways to be out there doing the work they believe in.

The Battle of Hastings was fought on 14 October 1066 between the Norman-French army of Duke William II of Normandy and an English army under the Anglo-Saxon King Harold II, during the Norman conquest of England. It took place approximately 7 miles (11 kilometres) north-west of Hastings, close to the present-day town of Battle, East Sussex, and was a decisive Norman victory.
The background to the battle was the death of the childless King Edward the Confessor in January 1066, which set up a succession struggle between several claimants to his throne. Harold was crowned king shortly after Edward's death, but faced invasions by William, his own brother Tostig and the Norwegian King Harald Hardrada (Harold III of Norway). Hardrada and Tostig defeated a hastily gathered army of Englishmen at the Battle of Fulford on 20 September 1066, and were in turn defeated by Harold at the Battle of Stamford Bridge five days later. The deaths of Tostig and Hardrada at Stamford left William as Harold's only serious opponent. While Harold and his forces were recovering from Stamford, William landed his invasion forces in the south of England at Pevensey on 28 September 1066 and established a beachhead for his conquest of the kingdom. Harold was forced to march south swiftly, gathering forces as he went.
The exact numbers present at the battle are unknown; estimates are around 10,000 for William and about 7,000 for Harold. The composition of the forces is clearer; the English army was composed almost entirely of infantry and had few archers, whereas only about half of the invading force was infantry, the rest split equally between cavalry and archers. Harold appears to have tried to surprise William, but scouts found his army and reported its arrival to William, who marched from Hastings to the battlefield to confront Harold. The battle lasted from about 9 am to dusk. Early efforts of the invaders to break the English battle lines had little effect; therefore, the Normans adopted the tactic of pretending to flee in panic and then turning on their pursuers. Harold's death, probably near the end of the battle, led to the retreat and defeat of most of his army. After further marching and some skirmishes, William was crowned as king on Christmas Day 1066.
Although there continued to be rebellions and resistance to William's rule, Hastings effectively marked the culmination of William's conquest of England. Casualty figures are hard to come by, but some historians estimate that 2,000 invaders died along with about twice that number of Englishmen. William founded a monastery at the site of the battle, the high altar of the abbey church supposedly placed at the spot where Harold died.
In 911 the French Carolingian ruler Charles the Simple allowed a group of Vikings under their leader Rollo to settle in Normandy.[1] Their settlement proved successful,[2][a] and they quickly adapted to the indigenous culture, renouncing paganism, converting to Christianity,[3] and intermarrying with the local population.[4] Over time, the frontiers of the duchy expanded to the west.[5] In 1002 King Æthelred II of England married Emma, the sister of Richard II, Duke of Normandy.[6] Their son Edward the Confessor, who spent many years in exile in Normandy, succeeded to the English throne in 1042.[7] This led to the establishment of a powerful Norman interest in English politics, as Edward drew heavily on his former hosts for support, bringing in Norman courtiers, soldiers, and clerics and appointing them to positions of power, particularly in the Church. Childless and embroiled in conflict with the formidable Godwin, Earl of Wessex and his sons, Edward may also have encouraged Duke William of Normandy's ambitions for the English throne.[8]
Following King Edward's death on 5 January 1066,[9][b] the lack of a clear heir led to a disputed succession in which several contenders laid claim to the throne of England.[11] Edward's immediate successor was the Earl of Wessex, Harold Godwinson, the richest and most powerful of the English aristocrats and son of Godwin, Edward's earlier opponent. Harold was elected king by the Witenagemot of England and crowned by the Archbishop of York, Ealdred, although Norman propaganda claimed the ceremony was performed by Stigand, the uncanonically elected Archbishop of Canterbury.[11][12] Harold was at once challenged by two powerful neighbouring rulers. Duke William claimed that he had been promised the throne by King Edward and that Harold had sworn agreement to this.[13] Harald III of Norway, commonly known as Harald Hardrada, also contested the succession. His claim to the throne was based on an agreement between his predecessor Magnus I of Norway, and the earlier King of England Harthacanute, whereby if either died without heir the other would inherit both England and Norway.[14] William and Harald immediately set about assembling troops and ships for separate invasions.[15][c]
In early 1066, Harold's exiled brother Tostig Godwinson raided south-eastern England with a fleet he had recruited in Flanders, later joined by other ships from Orkney. Threatened by Harold's fleet, Tostig moved north and raided in East Anglia and Lincolnshire. He was driven back to his ships by the brothers Edwin, Earl of Mercia, and Morcar, Earl of Northumbria. Deserted by most of his followers, he withdrew to Scotland, where he spent the middle of the year recruiting fresh forces.[21] King Harald III of Norway invaded northern England in early September, leading a fleet of more than 300 ships carrying perhaps 15,000 men. Harald's army was further augmented by the forces of Tostig, who supported the Norwegian king's bid for the throne. Advancing on York, the Norwegians occupied the city after defeating a northern English army under Edwin and Morcar on 20 September at the Battle of Fulford.[22]
The English army was organised along regional lines, with the fyrd, or local levy, serving under a local magnate – whether an earl, bishop, or sheriff.[23] The fyrd was composed of men who owned their own land, and were equipped by their community to fulfil the king's demands for military forces. For every five hides,[24] or units of land nominally capable of supporting one household,[25] one man was supposed to serve.[24] It appears that the hundred was the main organising unit for the fyrd.[26] As a whole, England could furnish about 14,000 men for the fyrd, when it was called out. The fyrd usually served for two months, except in emergencies. It was rare for the whole national fyrd to be called out; between 1046 and 1065 it was only done three times, in 1051, 1052, and 1065.[24] The king also had a group of personal armsmen, known as housecarls, who formed the backbone of the royal forces. Some earls also had their own forces of housecarls. Thegns, the local landowning elites, fought either with the royal housecarls or attached themselves to the forces of an earl or other magnate.[23] The fyrd and the housecarls both fought on foot, with the major difference between them being the housecarl's superior armour. The English army does not appear to have had a significant number of archers.[26]
Harold had spent mid-1066 on the south coast with a large army and fleet waiting for William to invade. The bulk of his forces were militia who needed to harvest their crops, so on 8 September Harold dismissed the militia and the fleet.[27] Learning of the Norwegian invasion he rushed north, gathering forces as he went, and took the Norwegians by surprise, defeating them at the Battle of Stamford Bridge on 25 September. Harald of Norway and Tostig were killed, and the Norwegians suffered such great losses that only 24 of the original 300 ships were required to carry away the survivors. The English victory came at great cost, as Harold's army was left in a battered and weakened state.[28]
William assembled a large invasion fleet and an army gathered from Normandy and the rest of France, including large contingents from Brittany and Flanders.[30] He spent almost nine months on his preparations, as he had to construct a fleet from nothing.[d] According to some Norman chronicles, he also secured diplomatic support, although the accuracy of the reports has been a matter of historical debate. The most famous claim is that Pope Alexander II gave a papal banner as a token of support, which only appears in William of Poitiers's account, and not in more contemporary narratives.[33] In April 1066 Halley's Comet appeared in the sky, and was widely reported throughout Europe. Contemporary accounts connected the comet's appearance with the succession crisis in England.[34][e]
William mustered his forces at Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, and was ready to cross the English Channel by about 12 August.[36] But the crossing was delayed, either because of unfavourable weather or to avoid being intercepted by the powerful English fleet. The Normans crossed to England a few days after Harold's victory over the Norwegians, following the dispersal of Harold's naval force, and landed at Pevensey in Sussex on 28 September.[30][f][g] A few ships were blown off course and landed at Romney, where the Normans fought the local fyrd.[32] After landing, William's forces built a wooden castle at Hastings, from which they raided the surrounding area.[30] More fortifications were erected at Pevensey.[51]
The exact numbers and composition of William's force are unknown.[31] A contemporary document claims that William had 776 ships, but this may be an inflated figure.[52] Figures given by contemporary writers are highly exaggerated, varying from 14,000 to 150,000.[53] Modern historians have offered a range of estimates for the size of William's forces: 7,000–8,000 men, 1,000–2,000 of them cavalry;[54] 10,000–12,000 men;[53] 10,000 men, 3,000 of them cavalry;[55] or 7500 men.[31] The army consisted of cavalry, infantry, and archers or crossbowmen, with about equal numbers of cavalry and archers and the foot soldiers equal in number to the other two types combined.[56] Later lists of companions of William the Conqueror are extant, but most are padded with extra names; only about 35 named individuals can be reliably identified as having been with William at Hastings.[31][57][h]
The main armour used was chainmail hauberks, usually knee-length, with slits to allow riding, some with sleeves to the elbows. Some hauberks may have been made of scales attached to a tunic, with the scales made of metal, horn or hardened leather. Headgear was usually a conical metal helmet with a band of metal extending down to protect the nose.[59] Horsemen and infantry carried shields. The infantryman's shield was usually round and made of wood, with reinforcement of metal. Horsemen had changed to a kite-shaped shield and were usually armed with a lance. The couched lance, carried tucked against the body under the right arm, was a relatively new refinement and was probably not used at Hastings; the terrain was unfavourable for long cavalry charges. Both the infantry and cavalry usually fought with a straight sword, long and double-edged. The infantry could also use javelins and long spears.[60] Some of the cavalry may have used a mace instead of the sword. Archers would have used a self bow or a crossbow, and most would not have had armour.[61]
After defeating his brother Tostig and Harald Hardrada in the north, Harold left much of his forces in the north, including Morcar and Edwin, and marched the rest of his army south to deal with the threatened Norman invasion.[62] It is unclear when Harold learned of William's landing, but it was probably while he was travelling south. Harold stopped in London, and was there for about a week before Hastings, so it is likely that he spent about a week on his march south, averaging about 27 miles (43 kilometres) per day,[63] for the approximately 200 miles (320 kilometres).[64] Harold camped at Caldbec Hill on the night of 13 October, near what was described as a "hoar-apple tree". This location was about 8 miles (13 kilometres) from William's castle at Hastings.[65][i] Some of the early contemporary French accounts mention an emissary or emissaries sent by Harold to William, which is likely. Nothing came of these efforts.[66]
Although Harold attempted to surprise the Normans, William's scouts reported the English arrival to the duke. The exact events preceding the battle are obscure, with contradictory accounts in the sources, but all agree that William led his army from his castle and advanced towards the enemy.[66] Harold had taken a defensive position at the top of Senlac Hill (present-day Battle, East Sussex), about 6 miles (9.7 kilometres) from William's castle at Hastings.[67]
The exact number of soldiers in Harold's army is unknown. The contemporary records do not give reliable figures; some Norman sources give 400,000 to 1,200,000 men on Harold's side.[j] The English sources generally give very low figures for Harold's army, perhaps to make the English defeat seem less devastating.[69] Recent historians have suggested figures of between 5,000 and 13,000 for Harold's army at Hastings,[70] and most modern historians argue for a figure of 7,000–8,000 English troops.[26][71] These men would have been a mix of the fyrd and housecarls. Few individual Englishmen are known to have been at Hastings;[31] about 20 named individuals can reasonably be assumed to have fought with Harold at Hastings, including Harold's brothers Gyrth and Leofwine and two other relatives.[58][k]
The English army consisted entirely of infantry. It is possible that some of the higher class members of the army rode to battle, but when battle was joined they dismounted to fight on foot.[l] The core of the army was made up of housecarls, full-time professional soldiers. Their armour consisted of a conical helmet, a mail hauberk, and a shield, which might be either kite-shaped or round.[72] Most housecarls fought with the two-handed Danish battleaxe, but they could also carry a sword.[73] The rest of the army was made up of levies from the fyrd, also infantry but more lightly armoured and not professionals. Most of the infantry would have formed part of the shield wall, in which all the men in the front ranks locked their shields together. Behind them would have been axemen and men with javelins as well as archers.[74]
Because many of the primary accounts contradict each other at times, it is impossible to provide a description of the battle that is beyond dispute.[75] The only undisputed facts are that the fighting began at 9 am on Saturday 14 October 1066 and that the battle lasted until dusk.[76] Sunset on the day of the battle was at 4:54 pm, with the battlefield mostly dark by 5:54 pm and in full darkness by 6:24 pm. Moonrise that night was not until 11:12 pm, so once the sun set, there was little light on the battlefield.[77] William of Jumieges reports that Duke William kept his army armed and ready against a surprise night attack for the entire night before.[75] The battle took place 7 miles (11 km) north of Hastings at the present-day town of Battle,[78] between two hills – Caldbec Hill to the north and Telham Hill to the south. The area was heavily wooded, with a marsh nearby.[79] The name traditionally given to the battle is unusual – there were several settlements much closer to the battlefield than Hastings. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle called it the battle "at the hoary apple tree". Within 40 years, the battle was also known as "Senlac",[m] a Norman-French adaptation of the Old English word "Sandlacu", which means "sandy water".[n] This may have been the name of the stream that crosses the battlefield.[o] The battle was already being referred to as "bellum Hasestingas" or "Battle of Hastings" by 1087, in the Domesday Book.[82]
Sunrise was at 6:48 am that morning, and reports of the day record that it was unusually bright.[83] The weather conditions are not recorded.[84] The route that the English army took to the battlefield is not known precisely. Several roads are possible: one, an old Roman road that ran from Rochester to Hastings has long been favoured because of a large coin hoard found nearby in 1876. Another possibility is a Roman road between London and Lewes and then over local tracks to the battlefield.[75] Some accounts of the battle indicate that the Normans advanced from Hastings to the battlefield, but the contemporary account of William of Jumieges places the Normans at the site of the battle the night before.[85] Most historians incline towards the former view,[67][83][86][87] but M. K. Lawson argues that William of Jumieges's account is correct.[85]
Most recent historians[88] conclude that Harold's forces deployed in a small, dense formation around the top of Caldbec Hill,[83] with their flanks protected by woods and a stream and marshy ground in front of them.[87] Lawson points out the possibility that the English line was a bit longer and extended enough to anchor on one of the streams nearby.[88] The English formed a shield wall, with the front ranks holding their shields close together or even overlapping to provide protection from attack.[89]
More is known about the Norman deployment.[90] Duke William appears to have arranged his forces in three groups, or "battles", which roughly corresponded to their origins. The left units were the Bretons,[91] along with those from Anjou, Poitou and Maine. This division was led by Alan the Red, a relative of the Breton count.[89] The centre was held by the Normans,[91] under the direct command of the duke and with many of his relatives and kinsmen grouped around the ducal party.[89] The final division on the right consisted of the Frenchmen,[91] along with some men from Picardy, Boulogne, and Flanders. The right was commanded by William fitzOsbern and Count Eustace II of Boulogne.[89] The front lines were archers with a line of foot soldiers armed with spears behind.[91] There were probably a few crossbowmen and slingers in with the archers.[89] The cavalry was held in reserve,[91] and a small group of clergymen and servants situated at the base of Telham Hill was not expected to take part in the fighting.[89]
William's disposition of his forces implies that he planned to open the battle with archers in the front rank weakening the enemy with arrows, followed by infantry who would engage in close combat. The infantry would create openings in the English lines that could be exploited by a cavalry charge to break through the English forces and pursue the fleeing soldiers.[89]
The battle opened with the Norman archers shooting uphill at the English shield wall, to little effect. The uphill angle meant that the arrows either bounced off the shields of the English or overshot their targets and flew over the top of the hill.[91][p] The lack of English archers hampered the Norman archers, as there were few English arrows to be gathered up and reused.[92] After the attack from the archers, William sent the spearmen forward to attack the English. They were met with a barrage of missiles, not arrows but spears, axes and stones.[91] The infantry was unable to force openings in the shield wall, and the cavalry advanced in support.[92] The cavalry also failed to make headway, and a general retreat began, blamed on the Breton division on William's left.[93] A rumour started that the duke had been killed, which added to the confusion. The English forces began to pursue the fleeing invaders, but William rode through his forces, showing his face and yelling that he was still alive.[94] The duke then led a counter-attack against the pursuing English forces; some of the English rallied on a hillock before being overwhelmed.[93]
It is not known whether the English pursuit was ordered by Harold or if it was spontaneous. Wace relates that Harold ordered his men to stay in their formations but no other account gives this detail. The Bayeux Tapestry depicts the death of Harold's brothers Gyrth and Leofwine occurring just before the fight around the hillock. This may mean that the two brothers led the pursuit.[95] The Carmen de Hastingae Proelio relates a different story for the death of Gyrth, stating that the duke slew Harold's brother in combat, perhaps thinking that Gyrth was Harold. William of Poitiers states that the bodies of Gyrth and Leofwine were found near Harold's, implying that they died late in the battle. It is possible that if the two brothers died early in the fighting their bodies were taken to Harold, thus accounting for their being found near his body after the battle. The military historian Peter Marren speculates that if Gyrth and Leofwine died early in the battle, that may have influenced Harold to stand and fight to the end.[96]
A lull probably occurred early in the afternoon, and a break for rest and food would probably have been needed.[95] William may have also needed time to implement a new strategy, which may have been inspired by the English pursuit and subsequent rout by the Normans. If the Normans could send their cavalry against the shield wall and then draw the English into more pursuits, breaks in the English line might form.[97] William of Poitiers says the tactic was used twice. Although arguments have been made that the chroniclers' accounts of this tactic were meant to excuse the flight of the Norman troops from battle, this is unlikely as the earlier flight was not glossed over. It was a tactic used by other Norman armies during the period.[95][q] Some historians have argued that the story of the use of feigned flight as a deliberate tactic was invented after the battle; most historians agree that it was used by the Normans at Hastings.[98]
Although the feigned flights did not break the lines, they probably thinned out the housecarls in the English shield wall. The housecarls were replaced with members of the fyrd, and the shield wall held.[95] Archers appear to have been used again before and during an assault by the cavalry and infantry led by the duke. Although 12th-century sources state that the archers were ordered to shoot at a high angle to shoot over the front of the shield wall, there is no trace of such an action in the more contemporary accounts.[99] It is not known how many assaults were launched against the English lines, but some sources record various actions by both Normans and Englishmen that took place during the afternoon's fighting.[100] The Carmen claims that Duke William had two horses killed under him during the fighting, but William of Poitiers's account states that it was three.[101]
Harold appears to have died late in the battle, although accounts in the various sources are contradictory. William of Poitiers only mentions his death, without giving any details on how it occurred. The Tapestry is not helpful, as it shows a figure holding an arrow sticking out of his eye next to a falling fighter being hit with a sword. Over both figures is a statement "Here King Harold has been killed".[99] It is not clear which figure is meant to be Harold, or if both are meant.[103][r] The earliest written mention of the traditional account of Harold dying from an arrow to the eye dates to the 1080s from a history of the Normans written by an Italian monk, Amatus of Montecassino.[104][s] William of Malmesbury stated that Harold died from an arrow to the eye that went into the brain, and that a knight wounded Harold at the same time. Wace repeats the arrow-to-the-eye account. The Carmen states that Duke William killed Harold, but this is unlikely, as such a feat would have been recorded elsewhere.[99] The account of William of Jumièges is even more unlikely, as it has Harold dying in the morning, during the first fighting. The Chronicle of Battle Abbey states that no one knew who killed Harold, as it happened in the press of battle.[106] A modern biographer of Harold, Ian Walker, states that Harold probably died from an arrow in the eye, although he also says it is possible that Harold was struck down by a Norman knight while mortally wounded in the eye.[107] Another biographer of Harold, Peter Rex, after discussing the various accounts, concludes that it is not possible to declare how Harold died.[105]
Harold's death left the English forces leaderless, and they began to collapse.[97] Many of them fled, but the soldiers of the royal household gathered around Harold's body and fought to the end.[99] The Normans began to pursue the fleeing troops, and except for a rearguard action at a site known as the "Malfosse", the battle was over.[97] Exactly what happened at the Malfosse, or "Evil Ditch", and where it took place, is unclear. It occurred at a small fortification or set of trenches where some Englishmen rallied and seriously wounded Eustace of Boulogne before being destroyed by Duke William.[108]
Harold's defeat was probably due to several circumstances. One was the need to defend against two almost simultaneous invasions. The fact that Harold had dismissed his forces in southern England on 8 September also contributed to the defeat. Many historians fault Harold for hurrying south and not gathering more forces before confronting William at Hastings, although it is not clear that the English forces were insufficient to deal with William's forces.[109] Against these arguments for an exhausted English army, the length of the battle, which lasted an entire day, show that the English forces were not tired by their long march.[110] Tied in with the speed of Harold's advance to Hastings is the possibility Harold may not have trusted Earls Edwin of Mercia and Morcar of Northumbria once their enemy Tostig had been defeated, and declined to bring them and their forces south.[109] Modern historians have pointed out that one reason for Harold's rush to battle was to contain William's depredations and keep him from breaking free of his beachhead.[111]
Most of the blame for the defeat probably lies in the events of the battle.[109] William was the more experienced military leader,[112] and in addition the lack of cavalry on the English side allowed Harold fewer tactical options.[110] Some writers have criticised Harold for not exploiting the opportunity offered by the rumoured death of William early in the battle.[113] The English appear to have erred in not staying strictly on the defence, for when they pursued the retreating Normans they exposed their flanks to attack. Whether this was due to the inexperience of the English commanders or the indiscipline of the English soldiers is unclear.[112][t] In the end, Harold's death appears to have been decisive, as it signalled the break-up of the English forces in disarray.[110] The historian David Nicolle said of the battle that William's army "demonstrated – not without difficulty – the superiority of Norman-French mixed cavalry and infantry tactics over the Germanic-Scandinavian infantry traditions of the Anglo-Saxons."[115]
The day after the battle, Harold's body was identified, either by his armour or marks on his body.[u] His personal standard was presented to William,[116] and later sent to the papacy.[99] The bodies of the English dead, including some of Harold's brothers and his housecarls, were left on the battlefield,[117] although some were removed by relatives later.[118] The Norman dead were buried in a large communal grave, which has not been found.[119][v] Exact casualty figures are unknown. Of the Englishmen known to be at the battle, the number of dead implies that the death rate was about 50 per cent of those engaged, although this may be too high. Of the named Normans who fought at Hastings, one in seven is stated to have died, but these were all noblemen, and it is probable that the death rate among the common soldiers was higher. Although Orderic Vitalis's figures are highly exaggerated,[w] his ratio of one in four casualties may be accurate. Marren speculates that perhaps 2,000 Normans and 4,000 Englishmen were killed at Hastings.[120] The Normans buried their dead in mass graves. Reports stated that some of the English dead were still being found on the hillside years later. Although scholars thought for a long time that remains would not be recoverable, due to the acidic soil, recent finds have changed this view.[121] One skeleton that was found in a medieval cemetery, and originally was thought to be associated with the 13th century Battle of Lewes now is thought to be associated with Hastings instead.[122][x]
One story relates that Gytha, Harold's mother, offered the victorious duke the weight of her son's body in gold for its custody, but was refused. William ordered that Harold's body be thrown into the sea, but whether that took place is unclear.[117] Another story relates that Harold was buried at the top of a cliff.[119] Waltham Abbey, which had been founded by Harold, later claimed that his body had been secretly buried there.[117] Other legends claimed that Harold did not die at Hastings, but escaped and became a hermit at Chester.[118]
William expected to receive the submission of the surviving English leaders after his victory, but instead Edgar the Ætheling[y] was proclaimed king by the Witenagemot, with the support of Earls Edwin and Morcar, Stigand, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Ealdred, the Archbishop of York.[124] William therefore advanced on London, marching around the coast of Kent. He defeated an English force that attacked him at Southwark but was unable to storm London Bridge, forcing him to reach the capital by a more circuitous route.[125]
William moved up the Thames valley to cross the river at Wallingford, where he received the submission of Stigand. He then travelled north-east along the Chilterns, before advancing towards London from the north-west,[z] fighting further engagements against forces from the city. The English leaders surrendered to William at Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. William was acclaimed King of England and crowned by Ealdred on 25 December 1066, in Westminster Abbey.[125]
Despite the submission of the English nobles, resistance continued to erupt for several years.[127] There were rebellions in Exeter in late 1067, an invasion by Harold's sons in mid-1068, and an uprising in Northumbria in 1068.[128] In 1069 William faced more troubles from Northumbrian rebels, an invading Danish fleet, and rebellions in the south and west of England. He ruthlessly put down the various risings, culminating in the Harrying of the North in late 1069 and early 1070 that devastated parts of northern England.[129] A further rebellion in 1070 by Hereward the Wake was also defeated by the king, at Ely.[130]
Battle Abbey was founded by William at the site of the battle. According to 12th-century sources, William made a vow to found the abbey, and the high altar of the church was placed at the site where Harold had died.[97] More likely, the foundation was imposed on William by papal legates in 1070.[131] The topography of the battlefield has been altered by subsequent construction work for the abbey, and the slope defended by the English is now much less steep than it was at the time of the battle; the top of the ridge has also been built up and levelled.[78] After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the abbey's lands passed to secular landowners, who used it as a residence or country house.[132] In 1976 the estate was put up for sale and purchased by the government with the aid of some American donors who wished to honour the 200th anniversary of American independence.[133] The battlefield and abbey grounds are currently owned and administered by English Heritage and are open to the public.[134] The Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidered narrative of the events leading up to Hastings probably commissioned by Odo of Bayeux soon after the battle, perhaps to hang at the bishop's palace at Bayeux.[135][aa] In modern times annual reenactments of the Battle of Hastings have drawn thousands of participants and spectators to the site of the original battle.[137][138]

I brewed 10g of this Sept 1st and I came in at 1.071. Mashed @ 156. I pitched 1.5 pkgs of s04 into each bucket and figured I would bottle tomorrow (9/21). Fermentation took off and then after the first 4-5 days the airlocks settled down and haven't moved since. I forgot to check the gravity yesterday (I normally check on Wednesday then verify it hasn't moved by Friday), but I checked today and it is at 1.018. At 73% attenuation I am guessing it is done, but I haven't used s04 before. Do you think I am safe to bottle tomorrow, or should I wait and verify the gravity again in a few days?
Jay Home brewing whatever I feel like since 2011
You should be good, thats about where you want your FG. BUt there is only one way to know for sure. Check your gravity again a couple days later. If it has not changed, your good.
Well brewed this bad boy a week ago and just took the first hydro sample. OG was 1.071 and current SG is 1.017, so right where I was hoping it to be. I followed the recipe exactly, just making adjustments to ensure the target numbers would be the same. The sample tastes pretty dang good so far. I was going to ask you Shinglejohn, does the ginger taste fade a little bit with time? Also, do you add any extra cinnamon ever? I've only had this beer once last winter, and I thought I remember seeing a bunch of cinnamon particles in suspension in the nice clear beer. I know it is really early to judge, just wondering if you've ever added extra and which method you took to do that. Thanks for the recipe! I'll make sure to post a pic of a pint once it has really hit its stride. I plan to leave in primary for 2 more weeks and then keg and not touch it for atleast a month (we'll see how long I can keep that up!)
I don't usually add any extra spices after boil but if you want more cinn., go for it! the ginger fades slightly but not much, though as the beer cleans up the flavors meld. tbis beer benefits from a few weeks. at cold temps. it doesn't really age well so there is a balance there. let us know how it turns out!
I don't recall having any spices floating in my GL Christmas Ales I've ever had (and I've had TONS ) I use whole cinnamon sticks and skinned/cubed pieces of ginger for my brew and I also put them in a muslin sack to contain them so they are easy to remove at the end of the boil...
Ok thanks, perhaps I had a few too many and dreamt of floating cinnamon spices! I'll post a picture of my clone in a few weeks, so far it has tasted great!
Hi all. Made this a year ago and it was a huge hit. The only differences in my recipe was that I used London Ale III (it was all they had, but i liked it so I am going to use it again). And the honey. I added it at 10 minutes and I don't think I could taste it at all. Though, I do know that it thinned the beer out a little and added alcohol (I could taste that). I should add that I make 12 gallon batches into the fermenter. Would a flameout addition of honey make a big difference to the honey profile, or would subbing in 6-8 ounces honey malt in the mash in place of the real honey in the boil have the effect I am looking for? I am also upping the cinnamon sticks, I couldn't taste them in my beer. Perhaps the volume of wort had something to do with that. Thanks in advance!

AML/KYC Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at J.P. Morgan.
The recruiter contacted me based on a submitted profile. He was eager to get me in for an interview as the hiring managers were right in the middle of a huge hiring wave, and were in town for 2 weeks. He spoke to me on the phone for 20-25 minutes, said he was very excited to put me forward and thought I was a very strong candidate based on my resume, my background and my phone personality. He asked for a very easy writing sample (250-300 words and gave me a very easy topic). Once that was submitted he got me scheduled for an interview for the following week. He was there the day of the interview. It was 2 separate interview with 2 people per interview. One was the HR person and one was in the management/leadership chain. Both interviews lasted about 20-30 min, max. Both were different but asked some of the same questions. They asked about writing ability, ability to stand up for myself against senior level people, ability to analyze issues, do research, and some general leadership traits. I got a great sense that the interview was going very well. They explained the position and the structure of the bank in great detail and told me exactly where I would be working and the kind of work they expected me to do. The position was fairly new so they made it clear that things could be very different and that I should expect to be flexible. The recruiter met me after both interviews were over and told me that the first set of interviewers had already told him they were impressed. He reinforced the salary range that he quoted me when we had the phone interview. They said they planned to make a decision within the next 2 weeks. I received a call back about 4 days later making me the offer. They made an offer at the top end of the salary that he quoted me. Although it was a decrease in pay from my previous job (which they asked about) they ensured me that it was a bonus-eligible position which should help with the overall compensation.

AML/KYC Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at J.P. Morgan in February 2012.
Interview DetailsA pre-screening is conducted by the recruiter with questions emphasizing on and related to the information in the job description. Once the pre-screening is conducted and if the recruiter feels you have some (and in some cases all) of the required skills and experience, your name and information will be forwarded to the hiring manager.
Once the hiring manager reviews the information provided by the recruiter an interview/no interview decision is made. The hiring manager communicates the decision to the recruiter who then contacts the applicant to set up an in person interview. The "speediness" of a decision once you have completed the interview is based in part by your credentials and the immediate need of the open positionInterview Questions- Questions aren't created or asked in a way to seem "difficult".
