Book: Lucifer's Fire (A Ryan Mitchell Thriller) (Volume 3) by Richard Turnercategories: Book, Thriller, Military, Pirates, Mercenaries, Diamonds, Adventure
Richard Turnerabout this book: 1715 – Captain James Lucifer and the survivors of a doomed ship washed ashore in West Africa wait for the coming dawn and their fate. Handing off a fabled and priceless diamond to a lowly young boy, Lucifer sets in motion a chain of events that will reverberate in the Twenty-First century with deadly effect.
In the present, Ryan Mitchell and his team of former special operations soldiers are sent to find and rescue a group of schoolteachers who have gone missing in war-torn Liberia. Quickly moving into the jungles of Liberia, Ryan Mitchell soon discovers things aren't going to be as simple as planned, when rival factions from outside of Liberia quickly complicate matters when they compete to find the fabled treasure buried by James Lucifer before he met his end and will do whatever it takes to get their hands on the prize.
I believe this novel will appeal to those readers who enjoy fast-paced adventure stories in the tradition of novels by Clive Cussler, Andy McDermott and James Rollins.

Not that I was even alive during the Roosevelt years, any of them. After "watching" these episodes, I'm positive I wouldn't want to have been alive during the Roosevelt years, any of them, although I more than admire those who doggedly survived those years, and grew strong because of trials they faced. Tragedy. World wide war. Uncontrolled disease. World wide depression. World wide war, again.
It's not as if I hadn't studied history. I have, although by the time my introduction to US history classes in high school and university arrived at the twentieth century, time was running out and we hurried through.
These episodes don't hurry. They show what I missed in those history classes, the family saga connected to the country where I live.
What I found most interesting is the verification of details I found during my research on the story of Pilot Mountain School. I saw this school's story unfold on television in the background of the Roosevelt story, Franklin's at least. He had polio. Chapter five, Pilot Mountain School children were quarantined due to the polio epidemic and their parents lived in constant fear that this horrid disease would strike their children next.

Chapter four, now that's another Roosevelt story, the World War II story and how the children and teachers of Pilot Mountain School supported the war effort and endured the hardships of the war reality. The Roosevelts: An Intimate History Check it out and as you watch, enthralled, think of this little school in the South Mountains of North Carolina.

* The Top 20 Greatest San Francisco Musicians: The Complete List
Metallica's And Justice for All (1988) is potentially on the cusp of becoming a Diamond album, with eight million sold. Two bands with fleeting success immediately trail; Counting Crows' August & Everything After (1993) has sold 7 million, and Third Eye Blind's self-titled album (1997) has moved 6 million.
Metallica has earned more mutliplatinum plaques in the past 25 years than any other act from the Bay Area. The albums Load (1996), Garage Inc. (1998), and S&M (1999) have all been certified five times platinum. The only other locally-bred band to match this quintuple sales feat is Green Day for American Idiot (2004).
A trio of '90s hits -- Hammer's Too Legit to Quit (1991), En Vogue's Funky Divas (1992), and Smash Mouth's Astro Lounge (1999) have each earned triple platinum honors for selling more than three million copies.
An overall sales slump over the past decade has meant that local acts have not been able to sell more than two million copies. But, to borrow the mantra of one of the Bay Area's top sellers, don't stop believin' in the potential of local artists to soar to the highest highs of musical success.

Week 3: The Return to Wat Mongkolratanaram
January 2, 2011
Back in Tampa after a 700 mile holiday severance. We've missed one whole week of Sunday brunch…where to go, where to go. Although the desire to continue with new venues is tempting, I've been craving Wat Mongkolratanaram (Thai Temple) since Thursday. The Thai people and their reversible silk robes are calling.
Due to an entire Saturday of absolutely nothing, I woke up refreshed and ready to take on brunch by the horns. I do believe this is the first Sunday I haven't looked like a diminutive train wreck. My boyfriend however, is a walk of shame. I've been holding him captive since New Years Eve—which means his only option for brunch is formal attire. Fitting into my gym shorts is not an option. Hmmm…should I offer to take him home first? Nah, it's out of the way. It's New Years weekend and it might rain; we won't see anyone we know.
Fail. We should have known better. Thai Temple is the Cheers of Boston—but with diversity, picnic tables, meat on a stick, babies, deep fryers (the babies are not near the deep fryers), a Buddhist Temple to pray, a river, a man missing a hand, signs written in incomprehensible Thai, a meditation garden and Grapefruits 6 for a dollar. Now that I think about it, Thai Temple and Cheers have nothing in common. The point I was trying to get at is that it's a place "where everybody knows your name." Not only did we see people we know, we saw people from Friday night—that were well aware Ryan had been wearing the same outfit for 72 hours.
We joined a friend (and two new friends) at a picnic table near the water. I'm not sure what sparked our conversation about races— it could have been the diverse crowd, the mentioning of adopting Chinese babies, or the fact that we had two siblings sitting at our table arguing over whether they were Indian or Chinese. I can't honestly say we added much to the conversation because we had pounds upon pounds of glorious Thai treasures in front of us. But what did stop me mid-chew was a comment someone made: "I'm not white. I'm Polish." I'll just stay out of this conversation and continue chewing. It's probably for the best.
To be honest, Thai Temple isn't about crazy experiences in an outrageous setting. I'd like to say that I fell in the river, or that the man with one hand sat at our table, but he didn't. It was a beautiful Sunday filled with beautiful food. After almost a half dozen visits there, we've got the vendor lines down to a science. We skip the desserts, flowers, praying and plantains. We go straight for Pad Thai, Spring Rolls, Dumplings, Kabobs, Basil Chicken, Rice, and 2 Waters. We're guaranteed a fabulous meal every single time, and that's why we're faithful patrons. Next week, we'll be back to venturing unfamiliar grounds.

Before GQ's recent cover story of Kendrick Lamar was published by the magazine, the publication released "The Four MCs That Made Kendrick Lamar." In the article, Lamar named Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Mobb Deep's Prodigy as his four greatest influences as an emcee.
Recently, Prodigy addressed his inclusion in the article.
"I was definitely surprised because I'm a big Kendrick fan," Prodigy says in an interview with xxlmag.com. "When his album first came out, shit I was probably the number one promoter of it in New York. I played that shit for everybody. I was telling everybody to buy that shit, making sure niggas was up on that shit. I was Tweeting about it, all that shit. I never met Kendrick before, so it was kinda mind-blowing to see that article."
In GQ's article, Lamar praises Prodigy's work and explains how much of a fan he was.
"[TDE's Dave Free and I] started recording this mixtape called Youngest Head Nigga In Charge, YHNIC," Lamar says in GQ's "The Four MCs That Made Kendrick Lamar," when discussing his early recordings. "I was a big Prodigy fan at the time. So I was really biting his style."
Prodigy released several solo albums, including 2000's H.N.I.C. and 2008's H.N.I.C. Pt. 2.
Prodigy is also a member of Mobb Deep, along with rapper-producer Havoc.
GQ's Kendrick Lamar cover story was criticized by TDE's CEO Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith.
"This week, Kendrick Lamar was named one of GQ's 2013 Men Of The Year, an honor that should have been celebrated as a milestone in his career and for the company," Tiffith said in a statement. "Instead, the story, written by Steve Marsh, put myself and my company in a negative light. Marsh's story was more focused on what most people would see as drama or bs. To say he was 'surprised at our discipline' is completely disrespectful. Instead of putting emphasis on the good that TDE has done for West Coast music, and for Hip Hop as a whole, he spoke on what most people would consider what's wrong with Hip Hop music. Furthermore, Kendrick deserved to be accurately documented. The racial overtones, immediately reminded everyone of a time in Hip Hop that was destroyed by violence, resulting in the loss of two of our biggest stars. We would expect more from a publication with the stature and reputation that GQ has. As a result of this misrepresentation, I pulled Kendrick from his performance atGQ's annual 'Man Of The Year' party Tuesday, November 12th."
GQ responded to Top Dawg's criticism by releasing a statement defending its article.
"Kendrick Lamar is one of the most talented new musicians to arrive on the scene in years," Nelson says in a statement on gq.com. "That's the reason we chose to celebrate him, wrote an incredibly positive article declaring him the next King of Rap, and gave him our highest honor: putting him on the cover of our Men of the Year issue. I'm not sure how you can spin that into a bad thing, and I encourage anyone interested to read the story and see for themselves."

Ours was and is. We went out to a great dinner with friends while another friend watched Joey. A week later, we are off to see The Eagles in concert as a mutual silver anniversary gift.
But "Happy Anniversary" can ring hollow for many caregivers. A woman caring for her infirm spouse wrote,
47 years of marriage. Not even a Happy anniversary. I should be used to this, but I'm not.
We need another, non-Hallmark greeting for such days.
We need to drop the "happy" and use words like "honorable." "Honorable Anniversary." Because it isn't a joyful day, but it is a noble one.
It isn't about the fun romantic love, because that's been trashed. The memories, if there at all, hurt too much as reminders of what's lost.
But these dates still mark a commitment and a self-offering. They represent a profound kind of love that is offered when the warm fuzzies are long gone.
We should honor those who continue on in circumstances from which many would have run away. Honorable Anniversary if you are one of those.

Sadh Karnik of the Bhopal Gas Peedit Sangharsh Sahyog Samiti told reporters here on Sunday: "On the night of December 2-3 in 1984, leakage of poisonous gas at the Union Carbide company left thousands of people dead. The remaining people are facing a lot of health problems relating to kidneys, eyes, heart and skin." "There are over 5.25 lakh such victims who have not been compensated at all. The deaths occurring after 1997 are not being viewed as related to the effect of the gas," she said, adding that the victims should be paid Rs.30 lakh as compensation. (IANS)

What a week, what a week.
Ezra Levant's Rebel Media is moving on up in the world, graduating from just an ordinary, run of the mill source of national shame for Canadians to something truly global – an international embarrassment.
For those of you who haven't been following the "anti-Semitic" antics emanating from Levant's alt-right website this week, here's a quick look back at the lowlights:
1. "I'm becoming anti-Semitic"
The story begins in Israel, where Levant and several Rebel Media personalities travelled to the Middle East on what was officially described as a "fact-finding mission."
But not according to Rebel Media host Gavin McInnes – as he tells the story, the whole thing was a "brainwashing trip" that "the Israeli government paid for" along with a group of "mostly Israeli" Rebel Media donors.
In a now infamous video, the Rebel Media host makes the following points:
• Rather than broadening his horizons, McInnes says the "brainwashing trip" is "having the reverse effect on me – I'm becoming anti-Semitic."
• He says he felt like "defending the super far-right Nazis" during a visit to the Holocaust museum and explores a handful of myths spread by Holocaust deniers.
• He also falsely blames "Jews" for the Holodomor (the mass-starvation of millions of Ukrainians in the 1930s under Stalin) and claims "Jewish intellectuals" helped bring about the rise of Hitler.
2. Rebel Media host praised by Nazis, plus a former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard
As you'd expect, McInnes' rambling Holocaust video was celebrated by neo-Nazis, white nationalists and other members of the so-called alt-right.
Two prominent racists who gave the Rebel Media host a shout out were white nationalist leader Richard Spencer and former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke.
After the video began circulating on Twitter and his plane touched down in North America, Rebel Media published a frantically filmed video of McInnes attempting to walk back the comments, claiming his anti-Semitic rant was "taken out of context" (it wasn't), disavowing support from "my new Nazi friends" and also reiterating: "I like Jews."
3. Rebel Media publishes "10 things I hate about Jews"
The next day, Rebel Media doubled down and published a new video with the headline "10 things I hate about Jews."
UPDATE: After walking back host's Holocaust comments, Rebel Media doubles down on anti-Semitism https://t.co/OmUkCVdpRn #cdnpoli #cdnmedia pic.twitter.com/XD6DHKDhF1— PressProgress (@pressprogress) March 14, 2017
Here are a few notable moments from that video:
• McInnes claims Jews have a problem with "alpha males, especially when they're white."
• He claims Jews have a "whiny, paranoid fear of Nazis."
• He claims Jews do not have a "good attitude" and need to get over the Holocaust.
• He compares Jewish attitudes towards the Holocaust to African-American attitudes towards slavery ("It's like a black guy going: yeah, white people did slavery. Well, they didn't start it but they ended it so maybe be a little more positive about it").
4. Rebel Media gets trounced by the media in Israel
As the week wore on, word of McInnes' ramblings finally reached the shores of Israel, with headlines appearing several prominent Israeli newspapers.
The Jerusalem Post reported Rebel Media's video had sparked "controversy" and "outrage":
"Gavin McInnes recently came under fire after he released a video on YouTube listing the ten reasons he hates Jews ... McInnes made the video following a visit to Israel as a correspondent for Rebel Media, a Canadian political and social commentary platform that's considered to be strongly affiliated with the Canadian Right wing."
The Times of Israel took exception with "the video of an apparently drunk McInnes, wearing an undershirt" as he "stumbles down a Tel Aviv street ranting about Israel," particularly the part where the "star of Canada's Rebel Media" claims Israelis have a "whiny paranoid fear of Nazis":
"Canadian YouTube personality Gavin McInnes said that his visit [to Israel] was making him anti-Semitic, that Israelis have a 'whiny paranoid fear of Nazis', and that Jews were ultimately responsible for World War II."
Meanwhile, an article in Haaretz described the Rebel Media "correspondent" this way:
"McInnes ... is now working as a correspondent with Rebel Media, a Breitbart-like outlet that's popular among Canada's nascent far-right. The reporter has gotten into trouble before for controversial statements about transgender people and Muslims."
5. Rebel Media goes international
And then the story spread around the world.
Australia's News.com.au had this to say about the "bizarre blog post" from the "reporter working for Canada's version of far-right American news site Breitbart, Rebel Media":
"Armed with red eyes, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth and wearing a mesh, white singlet, Mr McInnes appears to stumble throughout the video while listing his problems with the Israeli people. Many believe McInnes is intoxicated as he rants about Israel on the street."
New York-based Salon had this to say about the "anti-Semitism" and "overtly Nazi-style tropes" that seemed to find their way into the Rebel Media host's video:
"Here's some background: McInnes is part of The Rebel Media, a right-wing website run by Ezra Levant, who is more or less Canada's answer to Glenn Beck. Recently, Levant and a handful of his hosts, including McInnes, went to Israel ... Avoiding all appearance of pandering to anti-Semitism would seem to be important in forging an alliance with the Israeli right. Apparently this expectation was more than McInnes could handle, because he put up a lengthy video rant on a non-Rebel feed where he minimized and made excuses for Holocaust denial and Nazism."
Meanwhile, back home, CBC Radio asks if Conservative leadership candidates will begin to "cut ties with Rebel Media"?
"For months, several Conservative leadership candidates have been cozying up to Rebel Media, attending its events, advertising on its web site and, in some cases, echoing its views."
6. Chris Alexander disavows Rebel Media
Calling the video "repulsive and disturbing," Conservative leadership candidate Chris Alexander tweeted "no more Rebel Media events for me."
I agree with you, Michael: McInnes' statements are "repulsive and disturbing". No more Rebel Media events for me. https://t.co/gn7fbCkDQe— Chris Alexander (@calxandr) March 15, 2017
Better late than never. After all, Alexander criticized Alberta Premier Rachel Notley at one Rebel Media rally as Levant's supporters chanted "lock her up" and appeared at another Rebel Media rally protesting a motion condemning racism and Islamophobia.
Still, Alexander might want to explain why this was his red line?
It really is remarkable that promoting anti-Muslim conspiracy theories about the Ste-Foy massacre wasn't enough https://t.co/1x2tey6BE7— Bruce Arthur (@bruce_arthur) March 15, 2017
7. Kellie Leitch would ban Rebel Media's host from Canada, but she's still supporting Rebel Media anyway
A day later, Kellie Leitch's Conservative leadership campaign told iPolitics McInnes' comments are "un-Canadian" and said McInnes "would not be allowed into the country" under Leitch's draconian immigration proposals.
However, despite the fact Rebel Media produced and published the video on their website, Leitch's campaign refused to blame Rebel Media for McInnes' video.
Her campaign also wouldn't say if they'll stop running ads on the Rebel website.
Please everybody ask @KellieLeitch is she condemns The Rebel for defending these comments. She want to be PM!!https://t.co/OlEH9i6QHk— Michael Coren (@michaelcoren) March 15, 2017
8. Jason Kenney distances himself from Rebel Media
Asked to explain why he does interviews with the "dangerous folks" at Rebel Media, Kenney's campaign tweeted that Kenney, an old friend of Levant's, hasn't done an interview with Rebel Media for a very, very, very long time – "7 months ago," they say:
@michaeloshry Jason Kenney has never been interviewed by Gavin McInnes. The last time he was interviewed by Rebel Media was 7 months ago.— JKenneyFactCheck (@KenneyFactCheck) March 15, 2017
Of course, Kenney's campaign didn't exactly rule out the possibility of future appearances on Rebel Media either.
9. Another Rebel Media host goes viral calling for a "Crusade" to "retake Bethlehem"
During a field trip to Bethlehem, Rebel Media host Faith Goldy was surprised to discover the existence of Muslims in the West Bank town.
And at one point in a video published by Rebel Media, Goldy invokes the phrase "deus vult."
As AJ+ – an online news outlet run by the Al Jazeera media network – later pointed out in a video that has been viewed by over two million people worldwide, "deus vult" is a "battle cry" from the Crusades now "used in white nationalist circles and those in the 'alt-right' movement."
This woman is offended by the call to prayer in the West Bank. pic.twitter.com/c4nZ81x2cw— AJ+ (@ajplus) March 17, 2017
Sharing the AJ+ video on her own Facebook page, Goldy even repeated her "deus vult" battle cry.
Goldy's also tweeted photos posing in "deus vult" hoodies emblazoned with the crusaders' cross alongside her former Rebel Media co-host Lauren Southern – no stranger to the alt-right herself – with the caption: "in hoc signo vinces" ("in this sign you shall conquer").
10. Then another video surfaced of three Rebel Media hosts drunkenly talking about Jews
By the end of the week, yet another video from Rebel Media's trip to Israel surfaced, showing McInnes, Goldy and Alberta bureau chief Sheila Gunn Reid surrounded by several empty bottles of wine.
Here are a few memorable quotes from that pay-walled "premium content," courtesy Canadaland:
• McInnes: "We're supposed to be brainwashed by Kim Jong-Ezra Levant ... He wants us to love the IDF and be mad about the Holocaust and all that stuff. Um, and I think it's had the reverse effect: if there's one thing that I've learned when I'm here on this propaganda tour, it's that I'm mad at Jews."
• Goldy: "You know what, for the next humanitarian mission, like, instead of, like, dropping rice packs and, like, beans ... Just some, some like, just some deodorant, I think wouldn't be the worst thing ever" ("Middle Easterners reek," McInnes adds).
• McInnes: "Here's my problem with Jews. This is my problem with Jews ... Jews and liberals, and American Jews and American liberals, have this paranoia of the blond alpha male. Because of Naziism."
• Goldy: "Let's really get to the crux of the matter, and that's the fact that we need to launch the next Crusade and reclaim Bethlehem" ("Yeah!" McInnes and Gunn Reid exclaim).

Citizens Acting for Rail Safety is collaborating with the Water Bar in Northeast for a forum examining the environmental impact of freight train traffic on area waterways Saturday, July 9.
The event, "Water in the Blast Zone," will be held 3–7 p.m. at the new Water Bar, 2516 Central Ave. The Water Bar is a collaborative public art project designed to spark conversations about water quality issues.
State Rep. Frank Hornstein (DFL-61A), a leader on rail safety issues, will give an update on legislative efforts to address the dangers posed by trains carrying oil and other hazardous materials at the forum from 4–5 p.m.
The goal of the event is to learn more about the hazards facing the watershed and discuss ways to protect the environment and public safety.
There will also be a chance to sample local tap water and participate in screen printing and creative mapping projects.
The event is one of about 100 events across North America marking the tragic oil train derailment July 6, 2013 in Lac-Megantic, Quebec that claimed the lives of 47 people.

Philosophy & Motivation
Latest articles
What if most of the time you had the discretionary opportunity to move, to use your body (not just during a "workout" but at other times like walking or taking the stairs)…you didn't do it? But you thought, "I could, but I won't?"
Here's what I think happens with this "slippery slope" attitude and behavior pattern…
It's important to keep physically challenging ourselves as we age. That's why OlderBeast feature things like push-up challenges, exhortations to increase your weekly workout frequency, and calls to keep on running uphill.
But the name of the game is to do it thoughtfully, man — in a way we can sustain for years and hopefully decades. And on some days that calls for a game-time decision to do an EASY workout.
There's the planned easy workout, to recover from intense effort yesterday or get ready to go hard tomorrow. But here, I want to talk about something different…a last-minute call to just do something "light" today.
Maybe a shorter and/or slower run. Or just some light body weight exercises and stretching. Or some lower-intensity cardio on a machine and then a short core routine.
The idea of switching to an easier workout is really about our relationship with motivation: having more than one response to call on when we feel unmotivated.
REAL fitness New Year's Resolution: "I Will Discover What's *Really* Been Holding Me Back."
So many guys know they need to lose weight, improve cardio health, and/or battle the decline of strength and flexibility. They know all the reasons why and they know reasonably well what to do. But still…time passes. Periods of resolve (especially around New Year's) are followed by longer periods of less discipline. The body-and-soul health gap grows larger. And the long-term game plan to address it recedes into the fuzzy future.
In truth, do you recognize yourself here? This was me circa 2004 by the way, so please don't hear this question as criticism or judgment. I'm describing, at least, a sizable minority of 45+ guys. Maybe even a majority.
If you're one of them, I respectfully believe you need a different kind of 2018 New Year's resolution, man. Not just to "work out more" or "join a new gym." These kinds of resolution are easy to make but so hard to keep over time. (So is "eat better," but nutrition is its own major topic and here I'm sticking to the exercise component of fitness).
Here's a resolution that may sound harder to start acting on, but which is much more likely to really matter in your life. "In 2018, I'm going to discover and attack the root cause – cognitive or emotional – of my persistent under-attention to fitness and health."
Six Fitness Actions You'll Thank Yourself For *NEXT* Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have much to be thankful for this year, man. Even while you gratefully make note of all that, this is also a good time to think ahead.
What would you additionally like to be thankful for next Thanksgiving?
What if on Thanksgiving 2018 you could take a personal inventory and conclude:
1. I'm staying more motivated for fitness – and avoiding major backslides
2. I'm eating better (not perfectly, but better)…and I feel better for it
3. I forgive myself for not always following my fitness plans…but I hold myself more accountable to usually do so
4. I've varied my fitness routine, so I'm in better all-around shape than I was a year ago
5. I'm using exercise to better combat stress and make my life feel more spacious
6. If needed, I overcame aches-and-pains to do these things – instead of letting 2018 be a year of narrowing possibilities
Dude! That would be an incredible "thanks" list. So enjoy the coming weeks of 2017 wrap-up and holidays, yes. But I invite you to also make this time a springboard into a meaningful 2018. (Don't wait for the cliched New Year's Resolution.)
Here's the why-and-how of six actions you can take, starting now, to add to your "thankful for" list for next year.
Aging Guys' Fitness Motivation Secret: Embrace the Connection to Joy & Meaning
At this time of year, as autumn deepens, challenges mount to our motivation for fitness and nutrition. Shorter, colder days. Impending snow and sleet (or even just the rain that daunts Californians). Scrambling to complete work-related things before The Holidays. And then Holidays themselves (I'll have pumpkin and apple pie, thanks very much).
So right about now, we can all use a reminder about what motivates us to stay fit and vital. That's why I want to reaffirm and expand on the biggest, most-positive motivation out there: thinking of fitness as a major enabler of Joy and Meaning in your life.
Fitness as We Age: Five Lessons From the "Ground Game" in Football
I love football analogies, man. I probably use them too much. I ought to invoke the images of a symphony or a wild-flowered meadow more often.
But some football analogies just make sense to me at a visceral level. Especially this one: pursuing long-term body-and-soul health (at 40, 50, 60 and beyond) is like committing to the run as a football strategy.
When a team declares "we WILL run the football," they commit to guiding principles like: Having a more-patient approach to victory – not trying to "win quickly"…Depending less on flashy or gimmicky approaches – what you see is mainly what you get…and Reducing costly mistakes – fumbles are less common and less damaging than interceptions.
Let's consider what lessons this holds for the pursuit of decades-long fitness. I see five of them.
"Too Old" to Run (or Bike) Up That Hill? This Will Help You Keep Saying "Hell No."
There are great reasons to keep fighting gravity, man.
Going up hills works different muscles than staying on the flats (and it works the same muscles harder, too). It provides natural interval training. You don't need some trainer shouting at you "now go harder" – Mother Nature takes care of that. And not least, it gives you a sense of accomplishment and can-do power to help sustain fitness motivation as life unfolds.
But it's not easy. As the saying goes, if it were easier, more people would be doing it. To keep you among the relative "few who climb," here are tips for use before, during and after that hill looms up in front of you.
Fitness as We Age: 5 Ways to Combat Physical Vulnerability
In our quest to stay fit and vital as we age, sometimes we can't help but experience feelings that counter-productively undermine our resolve.
It's natural to fear and lament that our basic physical capabilities are diminished compared to our younger selves. But while this is true, you're less over-the-hill than you think, man. This should be a manageable fear. Anyway, what are you gonna do about this – exercise less and let yourself get less fit because you can't run a mile as fast as you could 20 years ago?
Also, like people of any age, we sometimes battle that sluggish feeling that whispers "don't work out today…there's always tomorrow." But as we age, doubling down on fitness becomes ever more important, so effectively responding to that sluggish feeling is key.
Here's the feeling that threatens our long-term body-and-soul health more than any other: the fear that we are getting more fragile, more VULNERABLE to injury and other activity-limiting aches and pains.
This is so dangerous because we can observe that it's least partly true…but at the same time we can't let it dictate our fitness habits and start a self-fulfilling downward trend. So how to deal with this shadow of vulnerability we feel? The trick is to neither ignore nor surrender to it.
Here are five things you can do starting now, to face up to this most-human feeling of vulnerability.
How to Overcome "That Sluggish Feeling" When It Threatens Your Workout Plan
There are a bunch of reasons why you might NOT work out today. Some are good, and many are not-so-good. Of all possible reasons, the one I really hate works like this.
1. You plan to work out that day. Then as the planned time nears, you start to feel a physical and/or mental sluggishness. Nothing dramatic, but you just don't feel like working out. You start to flirt with the idea of taking the day off, considering various possible justifications.
2. But rather than explicitly, decisively declaring a day off – sometimes you need one, even if unplanned – you let minutes tick by without moving toward your workout OR deciding not to. Deep down, you might know what you're doing, but you don't admit it to yourself.
3. Then all of a sudden, voila, it's "too late" for your workout. You missed the window of time you had before your next work, family or personal obligation. Even though you caused this, you don't feel glad about the "can't workout now" reality. You immediately feel like you've let yourself down.
This ever happen to you? If so, you just fell victim to That Sluggish Feeling ("TSF").
I've devised a new response to TSF when it strikes. I don't seek to move directly from sluggishness to exercise. Instead, I do a short, easy "bridge" activity in-between, to change my energy and get me into a better frame-of-mind to decide if I'm really, intentionally going to skip that workout. Here's how it works.

Suspension Lift (More on Air and Hydraulic Systems)
As with the hydraulics of lowering, fixed hydraulic systems work well for lifting vehicles, also. Raising a car or truck even an inch will make it behave differently, and hydraulics -- whether air or liquid -- compensate for the changing needs of the frame and the strength needed to withstand the altered up and down forces. Lifting a truck for off road use, or raising a car to make room for larger tires, create the same consideration: engineering the change for safe and smooth handling without adding too much stress on the vehicle structure.
Suspension lifts work as front only, rear only, whole body and one wheel well at a time, as well as in combination rises. And if overall improved performance is the main goal of lifting a car or truck, suspension lifts top that list, too. Where a body lift will take a vehicle up without raising the frame, a suspension upgrade lifts the frame itself farther from the ground. Lift kits are typically suspension lift kits, and are "aftermarket" because they change the suspension of the car as it was originally manufactured, or marketed. In a lift system, a vehicle's frame is in a sense "suspended" in order to minimize contact with the road. Suspension overhauls allow for better fine-tuning of all of the handling components, as well as increased customizing possibilities, and they often have a price tag to match, costing anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000.

Managing Food Safety Risks in Almonds
In common with many types of nuts, almond kernels are often consumed as a 'ready-to-eat' (RTE) food. RTE foods need to meet strictly prescribed food safety standards because they do not undergo further treatments that remove or reduce microbial contaminations.

Shut your Hole
They don't call her Court-ney for nothing(geddit?)!
Courtney Love is no stranger to legal trouble, and no stranger to bizarre ranting, either. Now she's managed to combine the two, by becoming the first celebrity to be sued for defamation over a rant on Twitter.
The singer is notorious for her weird messages on the site, and she recently went off on one at fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir. Simorangkir says Love accused her 'of being a drug-pushing prostitute with a history of assault and battery who lost custody of her own child,' according to the NME.(She also says those things aren't true.)
Love's lawyer (what a life that must be!) denied the accusations, saying Love didn't defame Simorangkir, and that if she did, it didn't cause her significant loss or harm. Which is a bit like arguing 'I didn't do it, and even if I did, she deserved it.'

The Secret Code Casino Game
Feel like a genius as you play this game. With Secret Code, be sure of a challenge, and not the kind of challenge you are expecting. Be sure of a real challenge that will push you to think your brains out. That was a figure of speech, so do not be scared to play this game in fear of losing your mind. Secret Code is a game that keeps you at the edge of your seat, instilling just enough fear in you to keep you interested, but not so much as to scare you to death. The secret code game was initially commissioned by the popular casumo online casino but later released through more of the casino operators that the developer NetEnt has agreements with. Most of those casinos have great bonuses to try out slot machines, like the Secret Code. If you want to take a look at their different bonuses, you can see it on https://onlinegokkengids.com/casino-bonussen/
The Secret Code Casino Slot
Secret Code is all about solving puzzles and cracking codes. Now, before you cringe and skip this game, you should know that however much the game is about codes and puzzles, it is not only meant for the lone nerds in their basements who are looking to make some money, anyone can play it, even you because it is fun.
The 3D graphics are of the highest quality, and with 20 paylines, three rows, and five reels, the game gives you good chances of winning. You will have expanding wilds, scatter symbols, a bonus feature, and free spins offer – all these helping you reach the maximum payout of 40,000 coins. There was talks about incorporating a progressive jackpot in the secret code slot similar to the one that would release the huge hall of gods jackpots however those plans were never realized.
The game's theme focuses on ancient mysteries that no one has ever been able to reveal. You will see some references to the Illuminati in the icons, plus a range of secret society rings. There will be an hourglass to help you keep time as you venture into your quest to discover the unknown, but fear not. Many players have dismissed this game for its devilish feel, but it is good once you get past all the scary rumors you have been told about secret societies. There are other symbols like a magnifying glass and a clue book to help you navigate your way through the game, a man holding a lantern, two other characters who are searching for the same secrets you are, and a scared woman holding some treasure.
Overview of the Secret Code Slot Game
The name of the game is very enticing. It can be played across multiple platforms, so you do not have to worry about whether you own a Mac, Linux, Android, or Windows device. The game also features an autoplay options that allows you to take a little rest while still playing. Other features are more or less the same as with other NetEnt games; customizable control panels and the like.
This game will travel you to another world, and apart from unlocking the treasured secrets of this world, you get to come back richer, if you are successful. Secret Code is fun, affordable, greatly designed, and engaging. Slot games these days have become meaningless, they rarely offer a challenge, and when they do, it is a close to impossible task. With Secret Code, you get to make it back just in time to be a winner.

Summit Daily News
The Barkley Ballroom in Frisco transforms into a traditional jazz club Saturday night as renowned pianist Jon Wirtz brings his newest trio, Nuskool, to Summit County for the first time.
Collectively having graced stages from Costa Rica to both U.S. coasts, drummer Alejandro Castano, bassist Patrick McDevitt and pianist Jon Wirtz mesh their creativity in Nuskool.
"There are so little opportunities in Summit County to enjoy jazz music, so I think it's very exciting to see these amazing international musicians, who have been on TV shows such as 'The Late Show with David Letterman' play in the county," said Todd Altschuler of the Barkley Ballroom.
Pianist Jon Wirtz has shared the stage with Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Robbie Krieger (former keyboardist of The Doors), Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Melissa Etheridge, Matt Morris and Justin Timberlake. Witrz is the man behind Nuskool's compositions and original sound, seasoning it with elements from his own diverse musical background.
Drummer Alejandro Castano brings influences from John Bonham (formerly of Led Zeppelin) to the pocket grooves of Questlove and the world jazz of Max Roach. Bassist Patrick McDevitt shares his technical versatility of playing both upright and electric bass, adding to the group's rhythm.
On Saturday, concertgoers can expect a "real jazz lounge atmosphere," said Altschuler. "Usually on Saturday nights most people just go out to dinner, so I think it will be nice to experience something different – to enjoy a jazz concert with candlelit tables. … I think people will be really impressed by the musicians and their talent."
The concert starts at 8:30 p.m. and seating begins at 8. It's $5/general seating; $40/table of four; and $50/table of six. Info and reservations: http://www.barkleyballroom.com or (970) 708-7042.

Catawampus, the debut release by The Cornbread Project, involves an idea for a fresh approach to the blues. The Cornbread Project is comprised of musicians/producers Laust "Krudtmejer" Nielsen (Krudtmejer Productions, "Trainman Blues") and Peter Nande (Straight Shooter Productions). Their concept: Apply contemporary music production techniques – samples, loops, beats, etc., as found in R&B, hip-hop, reggae and dancehall – to themes from traditional blues and roots music.
Collectively, the music on Catawampus embraces the traditions of the blues while also inviting them into the 21st century. As sure as Muddy Waters, Little Walter and others plugged into amps and cranked them up in the clubs of post-WWII Chicago, so the blues will continue to evolve and change with the times. Something to think about... Or, just listen to the music and let it move you.
Featuring (in order of appearance): Big Creek Slim, Sahra da Silva, James Harman, Big Joe Louis, Richard Farrell, Troels Jensen, Mud Morganfield

Creating Career Possibilities For Yourself in 3 Short Steps
About 12 years ago, I visited San Francisco with my boyfriend. One day we decided to ride bikes across the Golden Gate bridge. That bridge is huge, the water underneath it is cold and choppy. The whole image of the bridge inspires awe and can be intimidating too. Plus, it was very windy and chilly […]
Evolve IT and Innovate to Transform Healthcare at the Speed-of-Now!
Organizations are facing challenges to support outcome based medicine initiatives while simultaneously trying to cope with "the information generation" that wants healthcare at the speed of now. Healthcare IT must transform either through evolution or innovation to help meet their organizational business imperatives, expectations of their patients and drive insight to improve the quality and efficiency of care delivery.

Getting Your Employer to Pay for Training
Whether you're a programmer, Big Data analyst, or cybersecurity expert, your employer expects you to have the skills necessary to do your job. That means tech professionals must spend a lot of money in order to secure the schooling and certifications they need. And that can become an expensive proposition.
In many industries, companies will pay for employee training. In tech, however, that's not always the case, and that can frustrate those professionals who feel they must constantly evolve in order to prove useful to the business.
According to Bob Hadick, president of Russ Hadick & Associates, a professional search and recruiting firm, tech employers expect their employees to live and breathe the job: "We find it easier to sell the guy or gal who shows a passion for the job by pursuing training on his or her own."
Tech employers consider positions such as developer or software architect as more than a mere title. "It's an identity," Hadick added. With that in mind, companies often look for employees who are intellectually curious, not to mention willing to work on tech-related projects on their own time.
According to Carlos Pimenta, CEO of Macquarium, a digital experience design and marketing agency, the nature of the tech profession demands constant education on the part of workers. "A programming language is similar to a spoken language," he said. "You can quickly learn enough to get by, but it takes a while to master."
Given how building systems that drive business operations is a complex and expensive process, it's often easier and quicker for companies to find the people with the necessary skills, rather than train the ones they have. "If you don't have in-house experience in that version of the programming language, you will typically work with proven partners to satisfy the client need," Pimenta said.
But you can still convince your employer to pay for training and certifications—provided you figure out the best way to spin the idea. Here's how to broach the subject and sell it to your boss:
Realize the Value of Training
Before you bother to ask, make sure the training is something that your employer considers a relevant skill for the job. While companies want people who can do their job well, don't try to pitch a certification that isn't relevant to the job you currently perform or can't help you get better at what you do, Hadick said.
Argue for Training the Whole Team
It might be easier to sell your boss on training the entire software development group and not just you, Hadick added. Suggest that training the team can impact the bottom line on the project or help move up the time to deployment. Pitch it in terms they can understand, but consider the time investment, too.
Help Your Manager Justify the Expense
Help your manager make the business case for training or certifications. Explain how the training will make an impact by filling a gap in a department need. If your employer is having a hard time recruiting the right people with the right skills, he or she might be more amenable to training current staff. Pimenta thinks the company's decision will not only be influenced by business need, but also by the cost, timing, and ROI.
Alleviate Your Employer's Fear That You're Jumping Ship
Your boss may think you're amping up your skills in order to find a new job. According to Hadick, it's best to explain to your employer how a new training program or certification is specifically relevant to what you do and how it will improve your performance.
Do Your Homework Before Accepting a Job Offer
Corporate culture can be hard to change, and that includes getting an employer to pay for certifications when they aren't accustomed to doing so. While tech companies that routinely pay for training are still relatively rare, there are tech employers out there who know its value. It pays to ask around and network with your tech friends to find out which organizations will pay for courses.
When you're interviewing for a position, don't forget to ask about the company's training initiatives. Pitch it to the potential employer as a potential perk of the job.

Two days ago Russia retaliated against US sanctions by banning the US from using the International Space Station after 2020, and by barring the use of Russian rockets as launch vehicles for US military satellites. Then, moments ago, a Russian Proton rocket, carrying Russia's most advanced and powerful satellite on board, crashed on take off, during the activation of the third rocket stage some 9 minutes into the launch. Coincidence? Surely.
A Russian Proton rocket with advanced satellite on board crashed outside of Kazakhstan's territory after lift-off, RIA Novosti cited a source as saying.
There are so far no reports of damage or casualties.
All other launches of Proton-type rockets will be halted at Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan until the reason for the crash is determined, a source told RIA Novosti.
There was an emergency engines shutdown on the 540th second following the launch, the Russian Federal Space Agency said, as quoted by Itar-Tass.
The Proton rocket, carrying an advanced Express-AM4R satellite, was launched on schedule from Baikonur on Friday.
The Express-AM4R would have been Russia's most advanced and powerful satellite.
A summary of the destroyed Express-AM4R:
The advanced Express-AM4R satellite is manufactured on RSCC' order by EADS Astrium within the framework of the Russian Federal Space Program for 2006-2015. The satellite will provide TV & Radio broadcasting, broadband Internet access, multimedia services, telephony, mobile communications.
The satellite is planned for launch in 2014.
Here is NASA with an extaneded analysis of what happened:
Russia launched another of their Proton-M rockets on Thursday, with the mission tasked with lofting the Ekspress-AM4R telecommunications satellite into orbit. Launch of the Proton-M rocket took place from Launch Pad 39 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 21:42 GMT. However, an unspecified failure was noted during third stage flight. The rocket and satellite are lost.
Proton-M Launch:
The Proton vehicle is a veteran of the Russian space program, with hundreds of launches since 1965.
It is built by Khrunichev Research and State Production Center, with majority owner International Launch Services (ILS) also flying the vehicle on commercial missions.
The first stage consists of a central tank containing the oxidizer surrounded by six outboard fuel tanks. Each fuel tank also carries one of the six RD-276 engines that provide first stage power.
Total first stage vacuum-rated level thrust is 11.0 MN (2,500,000 lbf).
Of a conventional cylindrical design, the second stage is powered by three RD-0210 engines plus one RD-0211 engine and develops a vacuum thrust of 2.4 MN (540,000 lbf).
Powered by one RD-0213 engine, the third stage develops thrust of 583 kN (131,000 lbf), and a four-nozzle vernier engine that produces thrust of 31 kN (7,000 lbf).
Guidance, navigation, and control of the Proton M during operation of the first three stages is carried out by a triple redundant closed-loop digital avionics system mounted in the Proton's third stage.
The Russians are currently using the Phase III Proton-M launch vehicle, which was flight proven on the Russian Federal dual mission of Express AM-44 and Express MD-1 in February 2009 and performed its first commercial launch in March 2010 with the Echostar XIV satellite.
The phase III configuration is the current standard configuration for ILS Proton, providing 6150 kg of GTO performance, which is an increase of 1150 kg over the original Proton Breeze M, while maintaining the fundamental design configuration.
As a workhorse, the Proton-M has suffered from its fair share of failures, none more dramatic than the July failure, when the rocket rolled from one side to the other, prior to crashing into the cosmodrome.
The Russian government launch was carrying three satellites for the GLONASS navigation system.
The vehicle then enjoyed several successful launches under its belt since the failure. However, Thursday's mission appears to have added to the list of
Proton's failures.
It is not yet know what went wrong, with only the Russian commentator noting an anomoly and cutting the webcast. The vehicle was on to the third stage segment of flight at this point.
The mission was set to send the spacecraft to its transfer orbit via the Upper Stage called the Briz-M, which carries out multiple burns to deploy the satellites into their respective orbits.
The Astrium-built Ekspress-AM4R – which now appears to be lost – had a mass at launch of 5,741 kg. It is based on the Eurostar E3000 platform and was expected to enjoy a service life of 15 years.
The spacecraft sported 30 C-band, 28 Ku-band, 2 Ka-band and 3 L-band transponders and was to provide digital television and radio broadcasting services across Russia, mobile presidential and government communications, multimedia services (telephony, video conferencing, data transmission, Internet access) as well as solutions based on VSAT network technologies.
Ekspress-AM4R was launched from Pad 39 of Area 200 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The launch was set to take place last month. However, engineers were delayed in repairing Pad 200/39?s ground electrical umbilical unit 8U259, which caused last year's failed Proton rocket to lift off half-a-second early from Pad 81/24.
One of four Proton launch complexes at Baikonur, Pad 39 has been used for the majority of Proton-M/Briz-M launches, and is overall the most used of the four pads.
The first launch from Pad 39 occurred in February 1980, and since then over 100 launches have been made from it, including the core and three other modules of Mir, three probes to Venus, a probe to Phobos, and the failed Mars-96 mission.
So an emergency engine shutdown? Was the shutdown activated by a certain Fort Meade agency by any chance? We hope to find out shortly, because whether this was indeed industrial sabotage or will simply be spun as one (to avoid the stigma of incompetence)?
To be sure, if the Kremlin finds a microchip with "Stuxnet wuz here" etched into the Gallium-Arsenide, things are about to get even more interesting.
Update: here is the video recording of the first 540 seconds of the flight when the "situation" arises and the transmission ends.

Sweden is one of the coolest countries to visit to see the Northern Lights. It's also great if you're looking for a little excitement and adventure. Many people tend to explore this country during the summer months, but the winter months are just as fun. The biggest draw of visiting in the winter months is that everything from lodging to transportation is much cheaper. No matter your interests Sweden has something for you. Below are five reasons that make Sweden one of the best places to travel to.
There are just around 200 ski resorts in Sweden giving travelers plenty of options when it comes to seeking out the slopes. The most popular area for skiing is Are. This town is in the middle of the country and about 660km from Stockholm. But if this town isn't part of your itinerary, no worries. You can find resorts in Dalarna, Jamtland, Swedish Lapland and several other places.
Go on Safari
This one may be a bit confusing at first glance. Safaris are supposed to be in Africa you say? Well you can venture out on one in Sweden too! The only difference is that you replace the heat with some cold and grasslands with woodlands. You also seek out different animals. You won't find elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes or zebras here but you will run into moose, wolverines, wolves, brown bears, lynxes and musk oxen. These animals are commonly referred to as Sweden's Big Six. Not part of the big six but just as exciting to encounter are wild reindeer. Maybe if you're lucky you'll see one fly!
Dog Sledding
Driving a dog sled is one of the most adrenaline educing activities in Sweden. You can organize anything from a day trip to a weekend excursion cruising around the mountain region or national parks with Siberian Huskies as your ride. This is sure to be an experience that you will tell people about for quite a long time!
The Northern Lights
Seeing the Northern Lights could be the only thing on this list and it would be enough to convince you to take a trip. Northern Sweden is one of the best places in the aurora zone to see this amazing natural feat. There are few places in the world you can visit to see the different colors of green, red, pink, and purple drape through the sky like a curtain on a clothesline. One of the best places to experience the lights is in Abisko National Park. Here they have the "blue hole" which is a patch of sky that remains clear, even on a cloudy night, so that you will see the lights without fail. To see them, make sure you visit between October and March because thats when they are visible.
Sleep Somewhere Awesome and Absurd
If you're up near Jukkasjarvi you can stay in the first ever ice hotel. It gets rebuilt every year with water from the Torne River. Different artists contribute to its construction each year making it a truly unique experience for anyone who stays there. They have an ice bar, ice chapel, ice sculptures, and anything else "ice" you can think of. If this isn't quite your style, try sleeping in a ice igloo. You can stay in a natural igloo formed by the Tannforsen waterfall when it freezes. Or you could travel to the Arctic Igloo Village outside of Jokkmokk and build your own igloo for shelter.

Our Semantic Technologies Acceleration Roadmap (STAR) programme is a tried and tested approach to realising the benefits of implementing semantic technologies. This is a package of components assembled for your organisation's unique needs. The starting point is always a conversation in which we aim to learn about your immediate and long-term requirements. We listen to your team and ask the key questions to find out what you need to achieve. From this we can put together your tailored Semantic Technologies Accelerated Roadmap (STAR) programme, which may include any or all of the following:
- Knowledge transfer. We run a variety of awareness-raising workshops on semantic technologies directed at your business colleagues, taxonomists, information modellers and leaders. It's a great way to bring your business rapidly up to speed on the nature and potential of the Semantic Web.
- Content architecture design. We advise companies on effective content design for effective information discovery and re-use. We have decades of experience in building content management systems, and we share the language that your content specialists use.
- Taxonomy, ontology and information model design. Here we apply our knowledge and expertise of taxonomy design to help you solve your unique classification challenges. We work with you to get the right information model to characterise your content.
- Helping you to design and build governance processes. Taxonomies are corporate information assets just like your other content and other information, and need the same rigour, security and audit features
- Advice on integration of semantic information components. Drawing on our extensive experience of taxonomy systems, graph databases and content management systems, we can help you to integrate these disparate systems to build your knowledge network.
- Proof of concept. Through our wide knowledge of commercial products in the semantic information space, and using our technology partnerships, we can enable you to gain practical experience of these technologies to better inform your purchasing decisions.
Our PoolParty STAR programme
We work closely with Semantic Web Company, and have extensive experience building semantic solutions using their product PoolParty. We provide a 3-month STAR programme that includes:
- Requirements analysis and design of a proof of concept study
- A temporary (typically 90 day) cloud-hosted PoolParty server allowing you to use all PoolParty features
- On-site taxonomist training for PoolParty
- On-site awareness raising sessions for colleagues
- Hands-on design of taxonomies and information models
- Advice on taxonomy governance and management practices
- Advice and practical assistance in integrating taxonomies and ontologies with your other information management systems
- Recommendations for strategic follow-up
Our prior experience with this type of programme has demonstrated significant value in informing the decision making processes for organisations wishing to move into the semantic information technology space. Get in touch with us and we will be delighted to help you.

Red Bull: We're still a little in the dark as to where we are
Red Bull report from day three of the second Formula 1 preseason test at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
- Driver: Daniil Kvyat
- Car: RB12
- Laps: 121
- Best time: 1:25.141
- Circuit length: 4.655km
- Fastest Lap: K. Räikkönen (1:22.765)
Daniil Kvyat was back at the wheel of the Red Bull Racing-TAG Heuer RB12 for his final day of testing ahead of the first race of the season in Melbourne in a little over two weeks. And just as Daniel did yesterday, today Dany spent the opening hours perfecting pit stops and conducting aero mapping work before an afternoon spent working through a race simulation. The result was a total of 121 laps and a best time of 1:25.141, set on the yellow-banded soft compound Pirelli tyre.
Commenting on his final day of pre-season testing, Dany said: "We almost got through our complete programme for the day, which was very useful and I feel we are ready for Melbourne. We had a couple of small issues today but nothing significant and it was a good final day. As for what we can expect in Melbourne, to be honest I have no idea! I'll go there with no expectations and I'll just do the maximum possible. These few days of testing have all been just about trying to make a better car, for myself and for the team, nothing else matters. We have done everything we can on our side and now we'll see what happens."
Head of Race Engineering, Guillaume Rocquelin added: "Dany's final day was pretty much a mirror image of yesterday's running with Daniel. We began with a lot of pit stop practice, which again went very smoothly, so that kept us from proper running until around 11. After that we did some more aero work and short runs until lunch and then we completed a race simulation. We had a small niggle later in the afternoon that kept us in the garage for a little while, but overall it was as successful as yesterday, with Dany just 14 laps shy of Daniel's Wednesday total. In terms of performance there were some guys out there chasing a lap time today, which was interesting, but all through these tests we have just been focusing on getting well prepared for Australia, so we're still a little in the dark as to where we are in terms of performance, but we'll find out soon enough."
