Racing gets a collect from Rocky's champ
LIKE any other professional sport, racing needs its stars.
Forget the fads and the gimmicks, the standouts of the equine world easily remain the sport's biggest pulling power, as Black Caviar so aptly showed during her reign as undisputed champion.
Black Caviar was a rarity though - an elite athlete in a superstar mould - but a horse does not have to become a national celebrity to play its part in uplifting the face of racing.
They can even fit the role by simply becoming a big fish in a small pond and providing the local community with a real sense of pleasure and pride at the performance of their "champion".
The positive spin-off for racing is as important at grassroots level as it is anywhere else.
Take the case of Our Boy Malachi, the pride of Rockhampton.
Last Thursday the strong, good-looking chestnut landed his 13th win from 15 starts when taking out the Rockhampton Newmarket. In doing so, Our Boy Malachi became the first horse in 48 years to complete a Newmarket double and, with 59kg on his back, he became the highest weighted winner of the race in the past 34 years.
In essence, Our Boy Malachi was up against history as much as the opposition, but he was good enough to overcome the odds - in spite of knuckling badly and nearly losing his rider in the first few strides - and remain unbeaten on Rockhampton turf, where he has won eight races.
The emotion etched on the faces of the winning owners and the reaction of hobby trainer John O'Sing, as Our Boy Malachi returned to scale, demonstrated their admiration for what the five-year-old had achieved, and that rich vein of genuine feeling spread throughout the local community as they celebrated another victory of their champion. And, more than anything else, racing was the winner on the day.
Can Our Boy Malachi hold his own against tougher opposition should he venture down south in future?
Everybody will wish him well if he does, but the truth is it really doesn't matter if he does or not. He is Rockhampton's champion racehorse and, in achieving that distinction, he has helped raise the profile of racing in Rockhampton to the degree that he and his team have done racing proud.
RACING Queensland has announced its vision for industry success.
According to the Racing Queensland's chief executive officer, "the industry's future success hinges on its ability to sell a contemporary racing experience to the next generation of racegoers".
The CEO added, "Queensland's vision would be built around capitalising on the industry's strengths, connecting with communities and driving innovation to offer the ultimate consumer experience."
Really? Look, I'm not knocking the proud intention or, hopefully, the ultimately achieved outcome.
Just one question. If Racing Queensland thinks it can do that for the next generation of racegoers, how is it that it seemingly cannot satisfy many of its existing customers - some of whom have been loyal for decades - in terms of the "consumer experience" they talk about.
It's just a thought, but maybe they should lower the binoculars and deal with what is in front of them first before getting ahead of themselves.

Measuring progress. Inspiring action.
Goal: Our state will foster a climate of inclusion that encourages active participation from everyone living in our community.
We all gain when everyone participates in society – by running for office, voting, donating to charities, volunteering, and helping our neighbors. Our region has a rich history of strong civic engagement. But our rapidly changing cultural, business and demographic landscape brings new challenges. How well we meet the demands of an evolving Minnesota will determine our citizen participation in the next century.
A strong economy and business climate provides resources for community involvement and fosters employee participation in their communities. Civic participation can result in changes to Minnesota education, immigration policy, transportation, and more. Building social connections with your neighbors and increasing community involvement can be a path to reducing health inequities.

Apart from Frontier, the only other A318 operators in the world are Air France, Tarom, and British Airways which only has a couple of those configured in an all C-Class layout and used solely on the LCY-JFK route.

If what's mentioned is correct and only LA ever had them, all 15 saw a second life with Avianca Brasil (Oceanair). Some 5 frames are still in service with O6 - PR-ONC, ONI, AVJ, AVL and ONR - though I believe they're being phased out - , while some are stored, at varying airports around Brazil. There might even be one or two in the desert in the US already. Can't see anyone leasing the stored frames to give them a third chance, so it's likely they'll end up like F9s A318s: scrapped for parts at way too young age.
callumconroydub wrote:Why were these small, easy to manoeuvre and long range jets so unpopular?
For example, Frontier scrapped all of their fleet. Why was that?
zakuivcustom wrote:Well, I can see O6 keeping them around just for SDU operation (Although A319 works just as well there, O6 is not getting new A319s, either). Those 5 remaining A318s pretty much run SDU-CGH and SDU-BSB shuttles all day long anyway (Plus BSB-JDO and GRU-JDO-FOR runs, JDO has a pretty short runway also at 1800m). In a few years after they retired all of them? I've no clue what would replace them (A320neo? Not sure how good they'll do at SDU).

I wish him luck with the E195, but they E190's have been a problem at Jetblue from the git-go, as they were at Virgin Australia.
https://www.flightglobal.com/news/artic ... rn-435199/
"JetBlue operates 169 Airbus A320 family aircraft and 60 E190s.
"The stage length of the E190 is 40% shorter but the E190 is a high CASM airplane," says Hayes. "We look at the E190 issue not as a CASM issue, but a return issue."
It is not the first time that JetBlue's executives have made less than flattering remarks about the E190, which it launched into service in 2005"
Apart from the various maintenance issues and costs, It comes back to CASM. Some time after Republic acquired Frontier, they did a fleet review which showed the BELF (break ever load factor) of every type in the fleet, remembering that this was at Frontier's average fare as it was then, before it became ULCC. The A320 led the way with the lowest, followed (further behind than might be desirable) by the A319, and finally the E190, with a BELF in the mid-90's. Tough to make money with that.
The A318, carrying fewer passengers, had a greater CASM than the A319 but the same CASM problem is happening - has happened - to the A319. Why buy the A319 when you can have the A320 at almost the same price? This is why so few A319Neos have sold.
There was a further issue with the A318 which had garnered a decent number of frames, but then PW had problems and a major delay with the engine. Airbus told customers they could wait it out or switch to the A319. Most of them switched.
aemoreira1981 wrote:The CSeries might finally put the A19N out of its misery as well. I doubt that there is any route for an A319neo that an A320neo is too much plane or an CS300 doesn't have the range.

bunumuring wrote:And yes, TWA ordered 50 A318s as well as 50 717s.... At the same time, stating that they were for different markets and route profiles. If I remember correctly, the A318 were for longer routes centring on more 'premium' markets while the 717s were meant for shorter, 'regional' routes?!?!

Care to elaborate on what you mean by 'easy to manoeuvre'?
Pontius wrote:I would make the argument that the 318 was the least "easy to maneuver" model in the family, and most of my colleagues that have also flown all four lengths would agree. The 321 has its horizontal stabilizer tailored to the long moment of the aircraft, the 318 used the off-the-shelf stab from its longer sibling and was likely relatively undersized, (consider the taller vertical to combat degraded stability on the A318, 747SP, etc. Same principle, different axis). The aircraft was very "pitchy," especially at altitude with the autopilot engaged. Flight director orders would almost float you in your seat at top-of-descent.

In his first interview since being cleared of child-molestation charges, Michael Jackson said he's hard at work on his Hurricane Katrina benefit song, "From the Bottom of My Heart," and that he's feeling well after several health scares during the trial.
Jackson told The Associated Press during the brief interview that he's "moving full speed ahead" on the single.
But unlike "We Are the World" — the 1985 charity hit co-written by Jackson that quickly drew participation from such heavy hitters as Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Willie Nelson, Billy Joel and Paul Simon — so far, no artists have confirmed participation in the recording of the single to aid victims of the August 29 disaster.
"I'm constantly working on it," Jackson said of the song, which he first announced on September 6. At the time, Jackson said in a statement that he had written the song and intended to contact artists within days and record it within two weeks.
While Babyface's spokesperson confirmed that the singer is down to record with Jackson, representatives for R. Kelly, Jay-Z, Ciara, Wyclef Jean, Mariah Carey and Lauryn Hill said those artists have been contacted but have not yet agreed to participate. Missy Elliott's rep said she and Jackson are in discussions about the song but have not yet reached any agreement. Spokespeople for Lenny Kravitz, James Brown, Yolanda Adams and the O'Jays could not be reached by press time.
Jackson's spokesperson, Raymone Bain — who last week confirmed the participation of Brown, Jay-Z, Blige, Elliott, Kravitz, Kelly, Snoop and Ciara — could not be reached for comment.
Four years ago, Jackson announced plans for a benefit song for the victims of the September 11 terror attacks. "What More Can I Give" featured vocals by Ricky Martin, Mariah Carey, Gloria Estefan and Reba McEntire (see " 'NSYNC Join Jackson's Charity Single; Mariah, Celine Sing In Spanish"). The song was shelved and never officially saw the light of day.
Following his child-molestation trial — which he described as "the hardest thing I've ever done in my life," in his recent AP interview — Jackson and his children left the United States to take up residence in the Middle Eastern country of Bahrain, where the singer is still "resting and recovering." Jackson is there as the guest of Prince Abdullah, the son of the country's king. "From the Bottom of My Heart" is scheduled to be released on Abdullah's 2 Seas Records.
Jackson, who has not appeared in public since being acquitted in June (see "Michael Jackson Not Guilty On All Charges"), said "I'm feeling good," after looking dangerously frail and suffering from various maladies during the trial, including a bad back and the flu.

You've started playing Aura Kingdom and have started getting into a lot of quests. This is good, it helps build up your character and nets you cool prizes! Unfortunately, you realize you often die in your quests. Or maybe you're trying out the PvP mechanic, but everyone keeps killing you, no matter what your level or equips. Either way, you want to be a lot stronger than you already are. Fret not since, aside from levelling, there are quite a few methods to become stronger in the game!
Method 1 of 6:
Getting Better Equipments
1Gather materials for crafting. While at level 40 below you'll be quite fine just using the equipment you get from dungeon diving or completing quests, once you hit the higher levels, you're better off crafting equips from the Refining Blacksmiths. To do so, you'll need to have some materials and Cores, which you can also craft this way. Your materials can be found by killing monsters in Instance Dungeons, by mining things (patterned rocks, crystals, mineral rich dirt, etc.) with a pickaxe, by foraging here and there, and trading Ethereal Crystals to the Gathering Association of Navea for Gathering Tokens, which you can use to buy your materials in packs of 100.
2Buy and learn Fusion Formulas. To make better equipments, you can go and buy Fusion Formulas from the Masters in Navea's Military Hall. They can be found at the far northeast of the map, up the stairs leading to the huge building. You can learn the Formulas you get by heading to any Blacksmith anywhere and clicking the "I want precise casting and forging." This will open a menu with some drop-down options and a button that says Learn New Recipes.
- Select the "Learn New Recipes" tab and find the Formula you want to learn here. Drag the Formula you want to learn into the Special Recipe slot, and click the "Pay" button below to learn it. Obviously, you need a certain amount of Gold to learn most of them. It's best if you bring at least 10 Gold with you, just in case. Afterwards, you just need to search for the right materials, or to craft them if you already have them.
3Learn equipment recipes. You can also learn equipment recipes from the Blacksmith themselves by clicking "Recipes List," then exploring their selection of equipments.
4Craft your equipment. Simply select your chosen item on the drop-down list of the main window of the Fusion menu. When you pick whichever item you need, it will show you the minimum requirements on the right. Now, either select the "Refine" or the "Refine All" button, and it will craft your item for you and drop it in your inventory!
- You can also use Recipes (the item) to craft your equipment. They're basically lower-leveled Fusion Formulas you can get from fishing or by tackling dungeons and world bosses, and you can learn them the same way as the Formulas. You can buy a couple starter ones in Canadeo Marsh's Blacksmith, but better Recipes are found when dungeon diving or fishing.
Method 2 of 6:
Leveling Up Your Equipments
1Collect Weapon and Armor Fortification Scrolls. Once you have the equipment you want to use, you will need to level it up. To do this, you'll need Weapon and Armor Fortification Scrolls, which you can get as a reward from certain quests and monsters. The scrolls have a chance to either level up your equipment or to add to the equipment's Potential points, which basically represent the amount of points you need for a successful level up.
2Gather up some Fragments. To use the scrolls, you'll need some Fragments. You can do this by using the "Salvage" option, represented by a claw hammer icon, at the bottom of your inventory. When you have any equipment that you haven't sold or used, you can salvage them for a small amount of Fragments, and occasionally on higher levels, some nifty other items you can use to improve your weapons. This is a great way of getting rid of loot when you're in an Instance Dungeon and running out of space.
- At the lowest levels, you can get by with just scrounging up at least 20 Fragments, but at higher levels, the amount of Fragments you get from Salvaging and the amount you need for upgrading increases. Don't be afraid to salvage multiple weapons and armors you aren't using or you don't need.
3Level up your equipment. To actually level up your equipment, click the shiny sword icon next to the Salvage icon. That's the "Fortify" button, which opens up the Fortification menu. Now, on the lower right portion of the Fortification screen, place the weapon or armor on the left-hand slot, then the Weapon or Armor Fortification Scroll on the right. It will then show you how many Fragments you'll use up per scroll, and if you have enough, you can just keep fortifying until you're satisfied!
- Keep in mind that Basic Fortification Scrolls only work up to level 9, and Advanced Scrolls only work up to level 20.
Method 3 of 6:
Investing in Secret Stones
1Approach a Secret Stone Merchant. Secret Stones are nifty little things that enhance certain skills for its assigned weapons. If you buy even the cheapest ones, the small boost to your weapon's signature skill is considerable. There are Secret Stone Merchants in every city and town, and you can find them by searching the world map for a blue icon resembling a crystal with a white X.
2Buy some Secret Stones. Talk to the merchant and pick the "Show me what you got for sale." option. The regular, low-level secret stones from the merchants in the town are worth about 200 Silver a piece.
- At higher levels, you can buy better, but more expensive Secret Stones from the Masters at the Military Hall in Navea, found in the furthest northeastern area of Navea, at the side of the huge building in the Military Hall. You can buy the Secret Stones for both weapons and armors from them for some Gold.
- At level 65 and above, you can find Secret Stones in the high-level versions of Instance Dungeons in Crescent Hill, Cactakara Forest, and Demareach Mines. Do note that you need a party to enter these Instances, however.
3Embed a stone to your weapon/armor. To embed a stone in your weapon or armor, simply choose the "I want to embed, extract or upgrade a Secret Stone" option when you talk to the Secret Stone merchant, click the "Inlay/Extract" tab, and place the weapon you want to embed the stone in on the top slot. Place the stone to embed on the bottom slot, and then press the "Inlay" button.
- If you want to take out a stone, place the weapon on the top slot and the Secret Stone in the weapon will show up in the bottom slot. The "Inlay" button will become an "Extract" button. Press this to remove the stone from the weapon—just make sure you have enough slots in your inventory first!
4Upgrade Secret Stones. You can even upgrade these Secret Stones by selecting the "I want to embed, extract or upgrade a Secret Stone" option, placing your chosen weapon's Secret Stone on the slot on the middle, then placing Secret Stones and consumable Secret Stones (Secret Stone of Despair, Glimmering Secret Stones, Shining Secret Stones, etc.) on the slots at the bottom and press "Refine." Best part is that it's free!
- Do note that levelling up the Secret Stone boosts not only the bonus effectiveness of the move, but also some stats depending on the prefix of the stone you got when you bought it.
Method 4 of 6:
Mastering Your Skills
1Level up. As you level up, you can unlock Skill Masteries. Masteries are passive skills that improve the character in many ways. They're divided into six types, with each one augmenting the character in a different way: General, Advance, Attack Spec, Defense Spec, Tactical Spec, and Special. Only one mastery in each tier can be equipped, but you can switch the chosen Mastery at any time.
2Unlock the General and Advanced Masteries. General Masteries are basically the first tier of skill masteries available and improves your first set of skills. They are unlocked at level 14. Advanced Masteries, in return, improve on the latter set of skills, and is unlocked at level 19.
3Unlock the stat masteries. Attack Spec, Defense Spec, Tactical Spec, and Special masteries are unlocked at levels 17, 22, 23, and 41, respectively. Attack Spec passively improves the basic attack stats, Defense Spec improves the basic defense stats, Tactical Spec adds chances to either debuff enemies or buff the character, and Special deals with improving Combo Skills from subclasses and giving minor stat bonuses.
4Buy yourself some other masteries! You can also buy Masteries from the Masters in Navea for Tokens, or find some in high-level dungeons. Keep in mind that you'll need an absurd amount of Tokens (gained from doing quests) and a high level just to afford those, much less reach the level requirements.Advertisement
Method 5 of 6:
Choosing Your Envoy's Path
1Find the Envoy's Path options. The Envoy's Path system works by making you choose some stat bonuses and skills from a "map," sort of like a modified version of the skill trees normally used in games. You can access it from the Character menu, which you can access by either clicking "C" or by clicking on the helmeted icon on the lower part of your screen, then clicking the Envoy's Path button.
2Level up. New bonuses and abilities can only be selected from squares directly adjacent to squares you have already unlocked as you levelled up, and the best abilities and the abilities for sub-weapons are available on the farthest sides of the map.
3Unlock your bonuses. To unlock a bonus, left-click on a darkened icon (and not the "locked" ones), then click "Confirm." If you're having second thoughts or made a mistake while selecting, as long as you haven't clicked on "Confirm" yet, you can just click "Undo," which will reset your choices. If you made the mistake of pressing "Confirm" as well, you can press "Reset," but doing so will cost you quite a lot of money.Advertisement
Method 6 of 6:
Cooking Some Food
1Buy some base food. If all else fails, just grab something to eat! Each town has a specialty food item you can buy from the Chef NPCs, indicated by a hat icon hovering above them. Certain food items have certain stats they boost, like how a Golden Fried Chicken bought in Crescent Hill can improve your DMG by 231 points for an hour or how the Enthralling Baumkuchen of Demarech Mines boosts your Speed by 408 points for 30 minutes.
2Improve your food via Fusion. If you can find some ingredients, like Fragrant Flowers or Chopped Nuts, from gatherable plants and items in the map, you can improve them even further! For example, the Golden Fried Chicken can be improved by gathering some Crescent Vanilla from the Crescent Flowers growing about near town and in the Flower Fields. If you right-click on the Crescent Vanilla, you'll be taken to the Fusion screen, and when you click "Fuse," you'll be given a random improved version of your chicken. The quality, from lowest to highest, is green, orange, purple, then finally gold. Do note that fusing yourself some food costs money, in addition to what you paid to buy the food item to begin with.
- Some recipes, like the Double-Colored Biscuits of Cactakara Forest and the Enthralling Baumkuchen of Demarech Mines require 2 ingredients, one of which is found in other areas. You can usually figure which ingredient can be used to improve which food item, but you won't know if it needs another ingredient until you try to fuse the food and the ingredient.
3Improve with Manual Cooking. If you have money to spare and good reflexes, you can buy some Cooking Utensils from the Chefs for 1 Gold each. This will unlock the Manual Cooking option, which lets you play a minigame for a sure chance to get high-quality foods if you succeed. Each recipe has it's own required tool, classified as Speed (knife), Complex (kitchen set), and Skill (skillet) recipes. You can figure out what tools to use by hovering over the "Unidentified (food name)" item in the Result area in the Fusion menu. Equip your desired tool with a right-click, then choose "Manual Cooking" to get started. You still need to pay the fee to cook, though.
- The cooking minigame is simple enough: just click on the wrong ingredient, as indicated at the start of the game, before it reaches the red line at the left side of the minigame screen. The less wrong ingredients go through the line, the better the quality. And if you end the minigame with a full bar, you even get two gold-level food items instead of one!

Cutscene Editor
You can get to the Cutscene Editor in GalaxyEdit by going to Modules > Cutscenes of pressing "Shift + F7".
1: Files
The Files window can be shown under View > Show Panes > Files or by pressing "F". This pane has 4 main tabs associated with it: Models, Sounds, Files, and Conversations - everything you should need to create a cutscene or cinematic. Click the plus signs to expand the different folders, and press the minus signs to minimize them. Type in the text box to search for a specific file. Once you have found the files you want, select them, and press Add to add them to Loose Files > (Previewer) in the Scene Object List.
Model Data
You can look up specific information about a Model by opening the Model Data window. This can be accessed by going to Object > Model Data or by pressing "Shift + D". This is handy if you ever decide you want to look up the model's attachment points for use in the Data Editor or the model's textures if you want to use Custom Unit Textures.
2: Scene Object List
The Scene Object Data List can be shown under View > Show Panes > Scene Object Data List or by pressing "Shift + Y". This pane displays any loose files being previewed as well as any scenes you have created for your map.
To add a new scene to your map, right-click in this pane and select "Add Scene". This will create an UntitledScene in the "Document Files" folder. From here you can add models, sounds, and so on to create your scene and eventually link to it via the map's Triggers.
3:Three Model View
This area displays various cameras that you can use to see your scene. You can modify this area by going to View > Show Panes and selecting "One Model View", "Two Model View", or "Three Model View" based on how many you'd like to see simultaneously. This can be handy when you want to compare the "Game View" angle with a "User" angle that you can play around with and a "Director" angle set by whichever camera is active on the Timeline.
Note that you can also open up a separate window for just the Director Camera by going to Window > Director Window or pressing "Ctrl + D".
4: Properties
The Properties pane can be shown under View > Show Panes > Properties. This pane will show detailed information relating to your model in a scene.
5: Timeline
The Timeline can be shown under View > Show Panes > Timeline or by pressing "Shift + T". The timeline shows the various models, cameras, lights, text, and other elements in your scene. If you're just using the Cutscene Editor to preview models, you can right-click on the bar associated with the model on the timeline and change the animation.
For more information, see the Creating a Cutscene tutorial.

Hi guys,
The first victory of the year is a fact. On Sunday January 17th I had the Fundurance race, a minibike endurance race of two hours. Together with my teammate for this race Robert Schotman we fought for the win and we took it.
Before I had the endurance race I had a physical test in Papendal, this is the national sport campus where sportsmen and women have all the facilities to train for their sport. The test showed that I'm in good shape so I'm looking forward to start the real work!
From January 22 till January 24th we're at the MotorExpo in the TT Hall in Assen and we will announce some special news for all the fans. I hope to meet a lot of you there and if not, follow me on Facebook @walidsoppe13.
Take care,
Walid #13

Q: Do I have to register with RAGBRAI before I register with Padre's?
A: You don't have to register for RAGBRAI before Padre's, but you will not be permitted to be on the charter if you have not registered with RAGBRAI by May 1. Once you've registered for both, log in to RAGBRAI and find our group, Padres Cycle Inn #10253 (Please note: Do not use an apostrophe when searching for this group.) Join the group, and you're all set!
Q: What is the cancellation policy?
A: Cancellation policies are specific to each individual ride. Please consult the pricing page of your ride for cancellation policies.
Q: Can I buy trip cancellation insurance?
A: Padre's does not offer this insurance, but it is available through a variety of agencies, including:
McKay Insurance – Visit https://www.travelexinsurance.com/quote/?nc=1 for a quote.
Balance for Cyclists – Visit www.balanceforcyclists.com/events for information.
Q: On RAGBRAI, what if I don't get a Rider Number / Bracelet?
A: We offer a 100% money-back guarantee for riders who join our RAGBRAI group and meet all deadlines, but don't get a wristband. But don't worry. Although there is no way for a charter or anyone else to guarantee a wristband for RAGBRAI, we've never had a rider, who followed RAGBRAI policy, who was unable to get a RAGBRAI bracelet. To increase your odds dramatically, simply register on RAGBRAI.com and join the Padres Cycle Inn group, #10253. (Please note: Do not use an apostrophe when searching for this group.) It only takes one team member to qualify, and our entire team of riders will be guaranteed a bracelet! Additionally, if you don't get one, at first, you can usually find one for sale (at regular price) on the RAGBRAI forums. Just be sure to register early and follow all of the RAGBRAI rules.
Q: How much luggage can I bring?
A: Each person may bring a total of two bags, weighing no more than 40 pounds each, for a total of no more than 80 pounds total. Additional fees will be charged for overweight baggage. Remember, you're just bringing your daily gear. Since Padre's supplies all of your camping gear and towels, you're really needing very little compared to a non-chartered rider. Fees may be assessed for overweight baggage. Please be sure to weigh your items before you arrive. If you absolutely need to be over the limit, contact us in advance to make special arrangements.
Q: Where do I shower?
A: We coordinate shower facilities for you each day. They are usually in walking distance. If not, there is typically a shuttle provided for you by the shower truck or event coordinators.
Q: Do I need a towel?
A: No. Padre's provides you with a new, environmentally friendly, disposable yet durable towel each day. What's nice about this is that you can use your towel as a maintenance rag each day to wipe down your bike, since you'll receive a clean, new towel the next evening. They also work well as a fresh door mat for the vestibule of your tent.
Q: What size air mattress is provided?
A: Each person gets one twin mattress. We use Intex air mattresses measuring 80″ x 60″ x 8.75″
Q: Do I need my own linens?
A: Padre's provides each person with a twin size air mattress, but items as personal as sheets, pillows, and sleeping bags aren't something that we provide. Certainly, you'd feel more comfortable with your own bedding, right?
Q: Where is each camp set up?
A: This depends on the ride. Our locations for most events are pre-determined by the event coordinators of each ride. For RAGBRAI, we personally select the sites when we visit Iowa in May. For RAGBRAI, we get you as close to the route and the action as possible. However, the availability of campgrounds in each overnight town determines our location.
Q: How do I know the route into camp?
A: Each event coordinates directions into each town. For RAGBRAI, there will also be clearly posted arrows marking the route into camp each day, once you get into town. Just follow the Padre's arrows.
Q: When do I have to be out of my tent each day?
A: The crew will begin breaking camp by 6:30 am each day, in order to arrive at the next campsite and set up before you arrive. The baggage truck will leave as early as possible in order to get to the next town to set camp for you. Please have your tent empty at 7:00 am. If you don't want your gear on the truck yet, place your helmet on your bag outside your tent. We will NEVER load a bag that has a helmet sitting on top. We know that if your helmet is still in camp, then you should be too.
Q: What time to I have arrive in camp each day?
A: There's no curfew with Padre's. However, if you plan to arrive after dark, be sure you have the proper lighting for your bike. Remember that it may be difficult to see arrows marking your way into town after sunset. Please respect others in camp who may already be asleep.
Q: What do I do if I have an issue with my tent or mattress?
A: If you have any problems, just find a Padre's crew member. We're all happy to help you with any issues. We do keep spare mattresses inflated each night, in case you need to swap yours out without hassling with an air pump. We top off mattresses at sunset each evening as well, as the air contracts as the temperatures come down.
Q: What if I have an emergency on the ride?
A: Call the SAG phone number for the ride you are on. Or you can call Padre's at 314-644-4440, and we'll do our best to get help to you.
Q: What is included in the Padre's Zone?
A: Each evening, you'll find shade, your camping chair, fans, a charging station for your electronics, snacks, and beverages. Each morning, you'll find coffee, ice, sport drinks, snacks, and other refreshments.
Q: Will I be able to charge my phone and other electronics?
A: Yes! You will be able to charge your electronics until the generator is shut off for the night, after sunset; times vary depending on each event's specific rules. You will also be able to charge up in the morning, once the generator is fired up to make coffee.
Q: What if my bike needs repair?
A: If you can do it yourself, we'll have a bike maintenance stand for you to use, as well as a limited set of bike tools. If not, most rides have bicycle shops along the way, with mechanics that can repair most any issue.
Q: Will any meals be included?
A: Although some rides do offer meals, Padre's does not provide any meals. We do offer snacks and refreshments in our exclusive Zone. Please refer to each individual ride to determine if any other meals are included in your ride admission.
Q: Can I ship my bike to RAGBRAI?
A: If you are not using our shuttle service, but want to ship your bike to the start town, you must use one of the official bike shipping companies. Try contacting: www.bikeflightscom.
Q: Are there any discounts available?
A: Early registration for each ride offers a sale price. Check the event pricing page for discount details.
Q: Is there laundry service?
A: We do not offer laundry service on every ride. Depending on the route, we may have a mid-week laundry option on RAGBRAI, but each year varies. And some overnight towns do offer laundry services for an additional fee.
Q: Do the tents stay dry?
A: We provide you with a high-quality, well-maintained, Kelty tent. These tents should keep you dry each night, even in the rain. Additionally, you will be sleeping on an air mattress, which should keep you off the ground, should it be rocky or get wet for any reason. All tents are inspected annually, and we are continually rotating new tents into use to ensure a dry experience.
Q: What if I want to pay cash?
A: Please register using a credit card through our online registration, via PayPal. Maybe you'll even get some reward points out of it! If that is not an option for you, please call to make other payment arrangements.

Recently we have learned more about the trends predicted by Swarovski for the upcoming year.
Looking ahead to Spring/Summer 2014, four themes emerge:
MINIMALIST REFINEMENT (Classic) is defined by sculptural silhouettes trimmed with crystal in monochrome shades, including the new Light Silk. (see post here)
The earthiness of FORCE OF NATURE (Romantic) is captured in vibrant, organic fabrics, using colors such as new Crystal Rose Gold. (see post here)
POETIC RADIANCE (Progressive) radiates adventure, technology, and poetry in high-tech metallic and pearly synthetics.
MYTHICAL ALLURE (Glamour) exudes ethereal beauty in sensual, opulent materials.
Here is a closer look at the MYTHICAL ALLURE flags in the John Bead Swarovski Cafe.
Tear drop shapes conjure up images of water droplets – fluid and random.
Classic yet elegant cuts and shapes combine to highlight a new form of glamour.
Smaller elements and wave motifs are woven into netting to offer aquatic inspiration.
Iridescent blue tones are offset by golden pearl tones to offer a modern mineral story.
Natural shapes help to create an outdoor oceanic feel.
I hope this inspires you in your crafting endeavours! You can see our entire line of Swarovski crystals here.

We are very familiar with the fight over Dan Patrick's bathroom bill, which is encapsulated in SB6 but also exists in a larger sense in several other bills. A major component in this fight is the business community, which sees such legislation as a threat to its ability to attract and retain talent, especially younger talent, as well as a more immediate threat to the bottom line. We have all seen the North Carolina experience, even if Patrick refuses to accept it. One of the players in the fight is Texas Competes, which as they state on their website is "a partnership of business leaders committed to a Texas that is economically vibrant and welcoming of all people, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people". They're not a lobbying group, which I confess I was not clear about going into this interview, but an engagement and education group, aiming to win hearts and minds to their cause. I spoke to their Managing Director Jessica Shortall last week about Texas Competes and how it is working to stop bad legislation like SB6 and promote a Texas that is welcoming and inclusive. Here's what we talked about:
One useful point to add is their comparison of SB6 and HB2, the North Carolina law that has caused so much trouble for that state. The particulars of SB6 may change as Patrick tries to get enough votes to pass it, but the fundamentals remain.

Imperial Court is a unique collection of high-end studio to three-bedroom apartments. Located within a stone's throw of numerous South London transport links, the development offers modern living, excellent amenities and undercroft parking. With Streatham Common (0.9 m) and Tooting (0.5 m) stations both within a mile, all that London has to offer is also just minutes away! Imperial Court offers modern living in the heart of a thriving London community. The large, floor-to-ceiling windows flood each property with natural light whilst the contemporary design and high-spec finish provide a space to be proud of.
commercial unit
contemporary Apartments
Situated in amongst some of South London's most vibrant communities, Imperial Court offers residents access to all they could want and more. With Streatham and Tooting sitting within walking distance to the East and West respectively, short train journeys also offer access to leafy Wimbledon (5 mins from Tooting), Clapham Junction (10 mins from Streatham Common) and event central London (19 mins from Streatham Common to London Victoria).
Once described as the 'West End of South London', Streatham is living up to its former moniker. After a massive resurgence, the area has been left rich with everything from trendy coffee shops (Boyce da Roca) and great pubs (Pratts & Payne) to award-winning restaurants (Bar 61) and stunning scenery (Streatham Common).
Established as a bustling community of young professionals, attracted to delicious brunch spots, extraordinary curries and a vibrant night-life. Tooting's famous market has just re-opened as the area's as the jewel-in-the-crown which can now compete on a level playing field with the likes of Box Park and Pop Brixton.
One of London's most famous districts thanks to the annual Tennis tournament that attracts interest from around the planet. For the rest of the year, Wimbledon is known to Londoners as a quiet, leafy village with history, culture and plenty to do. The high street boasts an array of coffee spots and pubs whilst the New Wimbledon Theatre offers a packed schedule throughout the year. Meanwhile, health and fitness enthusiasts can count on Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park beyond it – hotspots for cyclists and runners alike.
Widely seen as a popular destination for young families in London, Balham boasts a mixture of Edwardian, Victorian and Art Deco architecture, delivering one of the city's most picturesque neighbourhoods. The busy brunch scene on Hildreth Street (Brickwood, Blackbird Bakery and more) juxtaposes the lively night-life on offer (e.g. Lost & Found, Balham Bowls Club & The Exhibit) whilst there are a number of varied, high-profile restaurants dotted around for wining and dining (e.g. Haché, Lambert's & Foxlow).
Graveney and Meadow | The Manor | The Antelope | Kennedy's Fish & Chips | Daddy Buns | Bravi Ragazzi | Rice Republic | Cafe Barcelona
Cut the Mustard | Mud | Art and Craft | The Hamlet | Bar 61 | Exhibit B Streatham Hill | Brickwood Cafe | Pratts & Payne | The Bull
ODEON Streatham | Wigmore Lawn and Tennis Club | Streatham Library | Kensway Dance School | Streatham Ice & Leisure Centre | Streatham Common | Tooting Bec Lido

How can I leave suggestion for Home Design Story? We need new stuff and decor everything and we need discount in the stuff. I?m trying to leave message here in this forum but I can?t.
I am wanting to transfer my farm story 2 from my old iPad to my new one. If I download one of the games stated in post 1 do I
A) need to download the new game onto my old iPad as well as the new to pick up data for farm story to transfer
B) do I need to have farm story 2 downloaded onto new iPad before or after logging into new game from post 1
I?m a little confused how the transfer actually works
If I login to dragon story on new iPad will it then update farm story app on new iPad automatically if I haven?t started a farm on it?
Also can we not just add the login feature to farm story 2 this is all just a faff really
I play Fashion Story and have been for a looong time! I love the game, but it needs to be updated!
Some suggestions are: When you order cloths, there should be like a ?what?s new? tab, or a ?seasonal? tab.
Also this is not the case for me (yet) but when you expand to the max limit, it doesn?t show grass and bushes outside of boutique, it?s all black with bushes only! Hopefully that can be fixed as well and show green grass.
Another thing is that there should be a button that says go back to previous boutique while just browsing in community.
Another thing, I remember when there used to be multiple versions of storm8 games such as: (Fashion Story: The Summer Olympics) or (Fashion Story: Halloween.) I think what would be genius is if Storm8 could Implement this inside the game. Like change the gameplay theme varying what holiday is near. So if it?s Christmas and you open the app It?s not the usual screen before game launch (the girl and all the pink) and when the game launches it?s not just green grass with green and pink plants outside boutique; Like If It?s winter, it?s snow and pine trees instead. Or if it?s October, it?s like an evening dawn theme/setting. Or if your playing at night, it?s nighttime outside the boutique as well.
I think I said enough, but if I forgot something I?ll post again.
This is a major pain! I don?t understand why you took my iCloud away. Will I have to type in my ID & PW EVERY TIME!?

Best known as the official London residence of the British Monarchy, Buckingham Palace is one of the world's most iconic buildings. With origins dating back to the early 18th century, the palace boasts over 700 rooms and an impressive art collection, including works by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Anthony Van Dyck. We've selected ten of its most impressive rooms and upcoming exhibitions for those who plan on visiting Buckingham Palace. Best of all, those who are staying at The Rubens at The Palace will be moments away from the famous landmark.
1. The White Drawing Room
The grandest of all 19 State Rooms, the White Drawing Room displays two fascinating pairs of ebony-veneered cabinets, built into the wall beneath tall mirrors, to provide members of the Royal Family a discreet means of entering the premises. The room has been used as a backdrop in many photographic portraits of the Royal Family and is currently the setting for a number of audiences and receptions.
2. The Changing of the Guard
The Changing of the Guard takes place on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace at 11:30 AM (on alternate days during autumn and winter). During the formal ceremony, the 'New Guard' relieves the soldiers who have been on duty at Buckingham Palace and St James's Palace. A military band plays music, which ranges from Abba's greatest hits to more traditional songs.
3. The Queen's Gallery
Reopened in May 2002 as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations, the Queen's Gallery hosts a programme of changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection. The building that initially stood on its site was originally used as a private chapel, but after being damaged by German bombs in the war, it was totally refurbished and expanded.
4. The Royal Mews
The Royals Mews houses the historic carriages and coaches used for royal and state occasions, such as State Visits, weddings and the State Opening of Parliament. It is one of the finest working stables still in existence, responsible for the training of the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, the horses that pull the royal carriages. The highlight of the treasury is the dazzling Gold State Coach, which was built for George III in 1762.
5. The Garden
Situated at the rear of the palace, the garden covers 40 acres, and includes a helicopter landing area, a tennis court, and a lake graced by a flock of flamingos. Home to more than 30 different species of birds and 350 wildflowers, the garden has hosted summer parties, charity tennis competitions, and pop and classical music concerts.
6. The Picture Gallery
Buckingham Palace's Picture Gallery displays some of the greatest paintings in the Royal Collection. Four historic marble chimneypieces, each incorporating a pair of sculpted female figures, are the centrepieces of the room. Exhibited on every figure is a garlanded medallion of a great painter: Titian, da Vinci, Durer and Van Dyck. The current presentation brings together Italian, Dutch and Flemish works mainly from the 17th century.
7. The Throne Room
Initially designed for investitures and ceremonies, the Throne Room is now primarily used on important occasions for the reception of formal addresses, including last year's Diamond Jubilee. The space also housed a significant number of concerts and balls before 1861.
8. Castiglione: Lost Genius Exhibition
This temporary exhibition will be hosted by the Queen's Gallery and includes Castiglione's greatest drawings and prints. The Italian baroque artist is famous for inventing the technique of monotype, a combination of drawing and printmaking. The exhibition will feature some of the artist's most important works: 'Sacred & Profane Love', 'Moses coming down from Mount Sinai' and 'Noah entering the Ark'.
9. The Ballroom
The largest multi-purpose room in Buckingham Palace, the Ballroom was opened in 1856 to celebrate the end of the Crimean War. Today, it's used for State banquets, memorial concerts and artistic performances, as well as for Investitures.
10. Gifted: From the Royal Academy to the Queen
A celebration of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, this temporary exhibition features over 100 pieces presented as gifts by the Royal Academy of Arts. The exhibition will comprise works by high-profile Royal Academicians, including Tracey Emin, Anish Kapoor, Olwyn Bowey and Gillian Ayres.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Telco Transformation - Part 8
Choosing a Multi-Tenant Approach for You
In my prior blog, I discussed the different SaaS Data architecture options available. We discussed the pros and cons of each of the following options: Separate DB, Shared DB/Separate schema and Shared DB/Shared Schema. To summarize:
Each of the three approaches offers its own set of benefits and tradeoffs that make it an appropriate model to follow in some cases, as determined by a number of business and technical considerations. Here are some of the considerations a data architect needs to take into account when choosing a multi-tenant approach.
Costs Considerations
Always an important consideration. Applications optimized for a shared approach, tend to require a larger development effort and investment than applications designed using a more isolated approach ﴾because of the relative complexity of a shared architecture﴿, resulting in higher initial costs. However, because they can support more tenants per server, ongoing operational costs tend to be lower.
The shared schema approach can end up saving you money over the long run, but it does require a larger initial development effort before it can start producing revenue. If you are unable to fund a development effort of the size necessary to build a shared schema application, or if you need to bring your application to market more quickly than a large‐scale development effort would allow, you may want to consider a more isolated approach.
A good number 2. The more your application stores or requires more sensitive tenant data, prospective customers will have more security concerns and your service level agreements ﴾SLAs﴿ will need to provide strong data safety guarantees. While a common misconceptions suggest that total security can be ensured only via physical isolation, a shared approach can do the same but requires the more sophisticated design.
Tenant Considerations
The number, nature, and needs of the tenants you expect to serve all affect your data architecture decision. Some may require a more isolated approach, while others a more shared approach.
- How many prospective tenants do you expect to target? Think in terms of orders of magnitude: Are you building an application for hundreds of tenants? Thousands? Tens of thousands? More? The larger you expect your tenant base, the more likely you will want to consider a more shared approach.
- How much storage space do you expect the average tenant's data to occupy? If you expect some or all tenants to store very large amounts of data, the separate‐database approach is probably best. In any case, it is best to make this decision up-front rather than changing you approach half way through the design.
- How many concurrent end users do you expect the average tenant to support? The larger the number, the more appropriate a more isolated approach will be to meet end‐user requirements.
- Do you expect to offer any per‐tenant value‐added services, such as per‐tenant backup and restore capabilities? Such services are easier to offer through a more isolated approach.
Encryption Considerations
Encryption is a way to further protect tenant data within the database, so that it remains secure even if it falls into the wrong hands. Public‐key cryptography requires significantly more compute power than symmetric cryptography; a strong key pair can take hundreds or even thousands of times as long to encrypt or decrypt data than a symmetric key of similar quality. For SaaS applications in which all stored data is encrypted, the resulting processing overhead can render public‐key cryptography infeasible. A better approach is to use a key wrapping system that combines the advantages of both systems.
Scalability Consideration
Large‐scale enterprise software is intended to be used by thousands of people concurrently. If you have built enterprise applications of this sort, you know first‐hand the challenges of creating a scalable architecture. For a SaaS applications, scalability is even more important, because you'll have to support data of all your customers. Instead of a widely deployed, business‐critical enterprise application, you're really building an Internet‐scale system that needs to actively support a user base potentially numbering in the millions.
Databases can be scaled up ﴾by moving to a larger server that uses more powerful processors, more memory, and quicker disk drive) and scaled out ﴾by partitioning a database onto multiple servers﴿. Different strategies are appropriate when scaling a shared database versus scaling isolated databases. Also, when developing a scaling strategy, it's important to distinguish between scaling your application and scaling your data.
Scaling is a big consideration in, and of itself. I will tackle it in my last blog of the Hitchhiker series. See you next time….

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- First year Sarah Singleton (Mission Hills, Calif.) broke the school record for the 400-yard individual medley for the second time of the day to lead the Simmons University women's swimming & diving team at the MIT Swimming & Diving Winter Invitational at the Al '51 and Barrie Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center Pool in Cambridge, Mass.
The Sharks are currently in fifth place with a team score of 221 points. Tufts University leads the meet with 842 points with host Massachusetts Institute of Technology standing second with 816.5 points.
Competitors who placed among the top 30 in the morning preliminaries all advanced to the evening finals with the top 20 marks figuring in the night's team scoring.
Singleton placed fourth in the 400-yard IM with a time of 4:40.31 to eclipse her own record that was set in the morning session by nearly a full second. Senior Jason Erichsen (Banks, Ore.) scored with a 10th-place showing on a personal-record time of 4:45.95 in the event, while classmate Laura Simpson (Perkiomenville, Pa.) clocked in at 4:53.49 to place 15th. Sophomore Anna Leedham (Lowell, Mass.) finished 18th with a mark of 5:01.17.
Junior Aine Scholand (Albuquerque, N.M.) also finished fourth on the night with a time of 1:55.92 in the 200-yard freestyle. Senior Kerry Fleming (Northampton, Mass.) scored with a seventh-place showing on a time of 1:57.16 and classmate Laura Simpson (Perkiomenville, Pa.) finished 13th with a time of 1:58.47. Sophomore Maria Soraghan (East Hampstead, N.H.) placed 17th with a time of 1:58.92 in the event.
Sophomore Laura List (Bedford, Mass.) placed 10th in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 24.85 and Fleming touched the wall at 25.11 to finish 16th for Simmons.
Erichsen also scored points in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:10.65 to finish 14th for the Sharks. Fleming contributed additional points for Simmons with a 16th-place effort in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1:00.83 and Singleton recorded a time of 1:01.41 to finish 19th. Leedham placed 19th in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 2:17.74.
Sophomore Sara Manjikian (Belmont, Mass.) led the divers for the Sharks with 169.15 points to place 15th on the three-meter board, while junior Cristina Samaniego (Avon, Conn.) scored 159.35 to place 18th. First year Natalie Krieg (Cambridge, Mass.) tallied 148.45 points to finish in 20th place.
The Sharks capped night by finishing 15th in the 400-yard medley relay with Fleming swimming the opening backstroke, followed by Erichsen's breaststroke, Singleton's butterfly clip and List's freestyle anchorleg to combine on a time of 4:08.08.
Simmons returns to the pool tomorrow for the final day of the MIT Winter Invitational, beginning with the day's preliminaries at 10:00 a.m.

On just missing a goal on a deflection:
Just going to the net, trying to get away from their defenders and Dewey had a nice shot. I think it missed by more than it looked, but I'm trying to change the direction of the shot and it surprises the goalie sometimes.
On setting up a deflection play:
You have to get your body in a position where the defenseman can't tie-up your stick. If they get it by that first guy you have a good chance to tip it and you have to keep the eyes in front of the goalie. It's tough to get a deflection on net, so you're just trying to get a piece of it and hopefully it finds a spot on the goalie.
On playing on the left side:
Yeah, I'm comfortable there. The biggest things we work on in practice is just wall work coming out of the defensive zone and that's something they've been harping on me since the beginning of the year. I felt like I've been doing a good job of that lately and I just have to keep working on it.
On skating on a line with Mike Richards and Tyler Toffoli:
We had a lot of good chances in the last three games or so when we've been put together and those are the chances that we need to execute. We're on the doorstep and we just have to keep shooting, trying to make the goalie make a save, and hitting nets, get traffic and try to get some rebound goals.
On if Boston and Los Angeles play a similar style:
I was looking up their lineup, they still have their main core and that's what they're going to hang onto for a while. Big, strong, they're very good in their defensive zone. They break out the puck really well, just like us. That's something we have to have our chips, come in with speed. Turn it back up, high to low plays where you can kind of sustain some pressure, because if they make a soft chip and they have time to break it up they're going to break it out in transition on us.

Gerald Exline (1937- ) has been designing future cities for over fifty years. His work expands across the drawing surface in groupings of dense and sparse pen strokes that, taken in total, construct speculative visions of urban megastructures. Future cities have been the focus of his work since 1960 when he earned a bachelor of architecture degree at the Illinois School of Architecture at Urbana-Champaign. When he began teaching graduate architecture studios at Illinois in the late 1960s, his urban visions expanded in mural-sized drawings and were noticed by the University of Illinois Center for Advanced Study, where he was invited to a fellowship to explore speculative design of future cities in 1970. After three years in full-time architectural practice, he returned to teach at Cranbrook Academy of Art and rose to the Head of Architecture in 1978, during which time his work was exhibited in Michigan, New York and Los Angeles.
Initially challenged by University of Illinois Professor A. Richard Williams (1914-2016) to graphically represent new town developments in the Midwest, Exline expanded these commissions to move beyond representation into the realm of the speculative. Exline advocates "speculative drawing" to "look beyond what we know . . . we cannot know the choices only from what we have seen." His future city drawings are intentionally ephemeral, providing glimpses of towers, plazas and skybridges that engage in a dialogue with the viewer's imagination to complete the image. His work has been published in "Architecture and Urbanism" (A+U), profiled in the book Visionary Architecture: From Babylon to Virtual Reality, by Christian W. Thomsen, and exhibited in galleries in the United States and Germany.
