A unique non-sectarian Temple inspired by Akram Vignani, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan.
Egoism is the Same in Everyone!
Our people do not know what egoism (ahamkar) is at all. What is considered egoism? Each and every living being (jivatma) possesses egoism. Where there is a consciousness of 'I am this body' (deha-dhyas), there is definitely egoism there.
Questioner: Some people's (egoism) hurts more.
Dadashri: No, egoism is the same everywhere. It is not a question of whether it hurts or not. Egoism is nothing else. The only part that is considered egoism is when one applies 'I-ness' to where one is not. To install 'I'-ness where it doesn't belong; is called egoism. To believe that 'I', is where 'I' is not; is egoism. And how many people would this include?
Questioner: Everyone.
Dadashri: Here, only the Gnanis (Self-realized; One who has realised the Self;) have remained free from this. Therefore, when it concerns egoism, it is not related to the worldly life (sansar) at all, but it is with one's alleged intent (aropit bhaav; the belief of 'I am Chandubhai*'). And this includes the entire world.
Questioner: Can you measure the amount of egoism?
Dadashri: No.
Questioner: Is it the same amount in everyone?
Dadashri: It is the same.
Questioner: Some people seem egoistic, while others appear humble.
Dadashri: That is not egoism. No other word can be associated with egoism. Egoism is the egoism; it is the alleged intent (aropit bhaav - the belief of 'I am Chandubhai*'). And if the alleged intent goes away, it will go away immediately. We remove your egoism. To believe that the body is the Soul; that is [called] egoism. Wherever this belief of 'I' arises, it is called egoism. Therefore, when all these ignorant beliefs are "fractured" (destroyed), egoism disappears.
*Chandulal = Whenever Dadashri uses the name 'Chandulal' or the name of the person Dadashri is addressing, the reader should insert his or her name for exact understanding.
1) Egoism is not a thing. When you believe 'I am this…I am this…'; it is all egoism. 'I am Pure Soul' is the only egoless (nirahamkar) state.
2) 'I did this', this gives rise to egoism. 'This is mine', it gives rise to attachment (mamta).
3) Egoism (ahamkar) is harmful, the moment one realizes that then everything will become straightforward. Theahamkar is not worth protecting.
4) There are only two things in the world: feed the ego (ahamkar) or break the ego (ahamkar). One's ego (ahamkar) is either being fed or being destroyed; nothing else happens (in this world) apart from this two.
5) The ego (ahamkar) dies and the ego (ahamkar) lives, but people say that 'I died'. That which takes birth and dies is the ego, and the Soul is in the same place (is always intact). Even Pudgal (the atoms that were charged & which are being discharged in the form of mind, body, speech) is in the same place. The issue is only of the ego (ahamkar) in the middle.

A carousel has been in operation at Central Park since 1871. The original carousel was powered by a blind horse and mule. The current carousel was manufactured by the Stein & Goldstein Company of Brooklyn for a trolley terminal outside Coney Island.
Once an actual dairy, this facility now serves as a Visitor's Center for Central Park. Touch-screen kiosks provide general information about the park, built with kids in mind. The Dairy also serves as the official Central Park gift store.
Home to over 130 different species of animals from tropical, temperate and polar zones all over the world. A highlight is the Delacorte Musical Clock, situated between the Zoo and the Tisch Children's Zoo. The Clock keeps time with a song and dancing bronze animal statues.
One of the only spaces in the park originally designated for social gathering. This walk is also very famous and recognizable in films and photographs.
Considered the centerpiece of the park, it is especially noted for the Angel of the Waters statue and hand-carved details.
Located at the northeast tip of the Lake, this NYC icon is famous for its restaurant and paddle boat rentals.
You'll see tons of people soaking in the sun at Sheep Meadow. A vast, grassy spot, perfect for Frisbee with some friends. Also providing a great view of midtown forming at a distance.
A famous backdrop to many films, known for the many remote controlled boats sailing around the pond. Relatively close to the Hans Christian Anderson and Alice In Wonderland statues, which are popular spots among kids around the city.

The Anadolu Agency does not verify these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
Turkish dailies on Wednesday covered eleven police officers being questioned Tuesday in relation to the wiretapping of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's office.
Eleven people, including senior officials from the police department, were detained resulting from an investigation carried out by Ankara's prosecutors due to the wiretapping of Erdogan's conversations.
Erdogan's former chief of guard and ex-police chief could face charges of espionage for eavesdropping on Erdogan's office in 2012.
Four civil servants were previously identified as potential suspects in the wiretapping scandal.
Daily MILLIYET runs with the headline "Twelve suspects were close to him" reporting that eleven suspects went under investigation and one is still at large after simultaneous operations took place in five cities. The daily notes that they were stripped of their arms.
"Number one former chief guard detained" HURRIYET reported, referring to Zeki Bulut, who was "known as Erdogan's shadow and black box," implying his role as a guard who was constantly with Erdogan and a keeper of his secrets. The daily noted that a former official from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Hasan Palaz, who had resigned and two officials from the Turkish National Intelligence Organization were called to be interrogated in the wiretapping plot.
Daily AKSAM wrote "Spying Bugs" describing the suspects that were detained after Durak Cetin, the prosecuting attorney of the wiretapping case in Ankara had applied for the operations to be led in Ankara, Istanbul, Diyarbakir, Yozgat and Karabuk.
The daily added the suspects were to gave a statement to Cetin after the interrogation.
"Chiefs of guard behind the bugs" headlined daily SABAH stressing that Bulut who had a "very reliable profile was among the suspects, shocking everybody."
Some dailies covered the current situation of the Turkmen in Iraq who were attacked in the Turkmen-majority city of Tal Afar, where fifteen more Turkmen were kidnapped by the militants of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Iraq's Dor district.
Daily CUMHURIYET titled "15 more Turks taken hostage" reporting that ISIL has kidnapped sixty workers - including fifteen Turks from a construction project in Kirkuk, where eighty Turks are currently being held hostage.
The daily claimed that ISIL militants raped five girls in the eastern Mosul city of Iraq and are continuing their rampage while the Christians of the region are attempting to flee.
The Iraqi ambassador in Washington called for global help, while Beshir village, southwest of Kirkuk city which includes more than 1,000 Shiite Turkmen fell under the control of ISIL militants along with three more Turkmen villages of Tuz Khormato city.
Daily TURKIYE headlined "Turkmen armed against ISIL" reporting that the Turkmen of Tuz Khormatu were trying to protect their town by arming themselves.
The daily added the staff of eighteen people from the Turkish consulate in Iraq's Basra were evacuated to Kuwait and will be taken to Turkey for their own safety.
Dailies also covered Turkey's Savings Deposit Insurance Fund seizing the assets of the owner of the Soma mine where Turkey's worst-ever mine disaster occured causing the death of 301 workers.
Daily VATAN headlined "Cautionary judgement on property" referring to the owner of Soma Mine, Alp Gurkan, and thirteen other businessmen. The decision to confiscate the owner's property was made due to claims that Gurkan has mediated Korkmaz Yigit, a businessman, for smuggling.
SABAH also covered the news by saying that Yigit, who faces his first trial on Tuesday, claimed that the case was based on "the lies of two witnesses" and added that "he was upset because official government institutions decided for him without conducting an investigation."Last Mod: 18 Haziran 2014, 12:20

First reading
Jeremiah 18:1-6
The word that was addressed to Jeremiah by the Lord, 'Get up and make your way down to the potter's house; there I shall let you hear what I have to say.' So I went down to the potter's house; and there he was, working at the wheel. And whenever the vessel he was making came out wrong, as happens with the clay handled by potters, he would start afresh and work it into another vessel, as potters do. Then this word of the Lord was addressed to me, 'House of Israel, can not I do to you what this potter does?– it is the Lord who speaks. Yes, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so you are in mine, House of Israel.'
Matthew 13:47-53
Jesus said to the crowds, 'The kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea that brings in a haul of all kinds. When it is full, the fishermen haul it ashore; then, sitting down, they collect the good ones in a basket and throw away those that are no use. This is how it will be at the end of time: the angels will appear and separate the wicked from the just to throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
'Have you understood all this?' They said, 'Yes.' And he said to them, 'Well then, every scribe who becomes a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out from his storeroom things both new and old.'

Seeking to dispel the image of seedy, back-street bondage pornography, London's first-ever 'Festival of Japanese Bondage,' or Shibari, seeks to celebrate this unique and personal practise in its many forms: as art, as a cultural elucidation and good honest sexy fun!
Many not familiar with Shibari as a discipline will be unaware of its long and culturally rich history, first in Japan, and then out into the US and Europe. As a discipline of Japanese art it is as ritualistic and multifaceted as those that are more commonly known such a bonsai, or origami. Gathering disciples study under 'Masters' for many years in order to themselves become proficient.
The Festival, covering four days of events in total, features workshops and how-to's from some of the world's most preeminent rope riggers (those who tie the knots), as well as a bevy of artists, photographers and designers whose work is influenced by or touches upon Shibari as inspiration.
The festival has been specifically designed to contain something for everyone, from the 100% rope virgin to a seasoned connoisseur, but I'm sure it will capture the essence of bound beauty for everyone that visits.
Bringing your own rope is optional—there will be plenty to spare!
This event is to be repeated 2-5 April at the same venue. See http://bit.ly/4r2sNt for updates

4000 - Advisory Opinions
Question of deposit insurance coverage for "funding certificates"
FDIC--02--05 December 19, 2002 Joseph A. DiNuzzo, Counsel
This is in response to your letters dated October 18 and December 17, 2002, and our follow-up telephone discussions regarding the FDIC deposit insurance coverage available in connection with the ("Program"). You have asked that we concur in your analysis and conclusion.
You indicate that the Program will involve a series of limited liability companies (each an "Issuer") that will purchase certificates of deposits ("CDs") from "well capitalized" FDIC-insured institutions ("Seller Banks"). Each Seller Bank's deposit account records will reflect that the Issuer that purchased the CD is the sole owner of the CD. Each Issuer will be a separate limited liability company managed by a limited liability company ("Facilitator"), which is owned by (X'). X will form the Facilitator of which X ("Investors") or by the Facilitator. The Facilitator will be the sole manager of each Issuer and will offer "funding certificates" to Investors, which will represent either equity membership interests in the Issuer or debt instruments of that Issuer. Each Issuer will be formed for the limited purpose of acquiring and holding CDs issued by a diverse set of Seller Banks. All investments made by Investors in any Issuer will be used by that Issuer to purchase CDs from the Seller Banks which will be held in that Issuer's funding pool.
The two deposit insurance issues identified and discussed in your letters are, in essence: (1) whether the FDIC would regard each of the Issuers as a separately insurable entity; and (2) whether each Issuer would be insured up to $100,000 in its own ownership capacity, and not be deemed to be acting as a fiduciary for its Investors. In my opinion, the answer to both questions is yes.
As explained in your materials, each Issuer is a limited liability company chartered by the State of Delaware. The Issuers are formed to acquire and hold CDs issued by a diverse set of Seller Banks. Investors will invest in interests in the Issuers in the form of "funding certificates." Presumably, the nature of the Program is that Investors will be able to purchase shares or promissory notes (funding certificates) from Issuers whose assets will consist solely of FDIC-insured CDs. Thus, the Investors' interests in the Issuers will be safeguarded by the deposit insurance provided in connection with each of the corresponding CDs.
Section 330.11 of the FDIC's regulations (12 CFR §330.11) provides that the deposits of a corporation "engaged in any independent activity" will be insured up to $100,000 per FDIC-insured institution. The FDIC's regulations state that an entity is engaged in an independent activity if it is operated "primarily for some purpose other than to increase deposit insurance."(Id.. at §330.1(g).) The first issue is whether each Issuer is "engaged in an independent activity." The FDIC resolves this issue on a case-by-case basis by reviewing the relevant facts. Here the Issuers are formed to provide a mechanism by which the Seller Banks' CDs can, in effect, be bundled to form a security that can be brought and sold in the stream of commerce. In other words, the Issuers provide a conduit through which the Investors can purchase a security (in the form of "funding certificates") backed by CDs issued by FDIC-insured institutions. When an investor purchases a $1 million funding certificate from an Issuer, it acquires an asset backed by corresponding CDs issued by FDIC-insured institutions on a dollar-for-dollar basis, since the CDs are the sole assets of the Issuer. Thus, the Investor is indirectly protected by the FDIC insurance provided on the CDs.
I agree that the Issuer's reason for existence meets the "independent activity" requirement in section 330.11 of the FDIC's regulations. Without doubt, an obvious component of the Program is the investment safety provided by FDIC insurance. The primary purpose of the Program (and, hence, for the existence of the Issuer), however, is to enable investors to purchase securities, in high dollar increments, backed by CDs issued by FDIC-insured institutions. Moreover, if instead of purchasing a $1 million "funding certificate" from an Issuer each Investor were to purchase a $100,000 CD directly from each of ten FDIC-insured depository institutions, the cumulative deposit insurance coverage would be the same; thus, the formation of the Issuer does not necessarily increase deposit insurance coverage--the chief concern underlying the requirements of section 330.11. I also concur in the observation made in your letter that the Issuers are not merely divisions of the Facilitator and acknowledge the relevance of FDIC Advisory Opinion 95-14 (August 23, 1995), concluding that the function of "holding assets" qualifies as an "independent activity" under section 330.11. For the foregoing reasons, I agree that each Issuer would be recognized as a separate entity under section 330.11 of the FDIC's regulations eligible for deposit insurance.
Because each Issuer would be separately recognized under section 330.11, it follows that each Issuer would be insured up to $100,000 for deposits placed at each FDIC-insured institution. This is the second issue identified in your October 18th letter. The question is whether each Issuer would be insured as the owner of the respective CDs or whether the FDIC would deem the Issuers to be acting in a fiduciary or agency capacity for their Investors. Considering the information you have provided to us, there is no basis to conclude that the CDs purchased by an Issuer would be deemed to be owned by anyone other than the Issuer. The CDs will be purchased in the Issuer's name alone and, as discussed above, the Issuer is recognized as a separate entity entitled to its own deposit insurance coverage under section 330.11. Thus, we agree with the conclusion reached in your letter that each Issuer would be insured up to $100,000 as to the CDs purchased from each of the applicable FDIC-insured depository institutions. No pass-through theory of deposit insurance coverage would apply. Also, under the general principles of FDIC deposit insurance coverage, deposits held in the name of an Issuer with a particular Seller Bank would not be aggregated with the deposit accounts held in the name of any other Issuer with that particular Seller Bank for purposes of determining available insurance coverage limits.
I hope this is fully responsive to your request. Please note that this letter addresses only FDIC deposit insurance issues. It is not intended to address any other legal or policy issues raised in connection with the Program. Feel free to contact me at (202) 898-7349 with any additional questions or comments.

JMeter, what-now?
What is JMeter? A tool used for load as well as performance testing and analysis. Generally, the app is providing you with numbers you will use to understand how the application under test is doing. The data JMeter will be generating is great for benchmarking performance in various different environments, gains after tuning measurements as well as basic load testing.
JMeter produced data is of better use if compared to a vastly different set of results (meaning every set of results is representing a different set of various conditions). The data received from JMeter will also differ in any project due different requirements, query complexity, software versions and many more factors.
Configuring JM
When all is configured and JM proxy is at place one may simply visit a website he wishes to test and by clicking on different buttons, etc. All the appropriate data will be added as entries to your JM test plan. But for all to work JMeter has to be configured in an appropriate way.
Thread Group creation
- Start JM
- There will be a tree in the top where you may and should choose 'Test Plan'
- Right click it and you will have the potential of: add, then threads, then thread group
- Afterwards select the created group (and you will have the power of defining the number of treads that will be replacing concurrent users that will be going while the test plan's being executed)
- Right-click on the group, afterwards choose add, then configure element, then HTTP request defaults
- Fill in the IP or the server name (warning: JMeter is not friends with local hosts and localhost environments for undefined reasons thus, if it's your case, things may get tricky)
- Fill in the Port Number (8080 is what default JRS installations show)
- If necessary, you may configure yourself a proxy server in the boxes on the bottom
JMeter Proxy Configurations
- Select workbench and right-click it
- Select add, then non-test elements, then HTTP Proxy Server
- Modify values
- Port: change it from default 8080 to something that is not used
- Then go 'Patterns to include' click on the 'add' button. Add a pattern fit in your case
- Hit the 'Start' button
Next steps
- Configure browsers for them to go through proxy
- Create your test plan via a browser
- Turn JM's reporting feature on
- Select Thread group in JM and right-click it
- Add, then listener, then aggregate report
- While thread group is still selected you are to choose a number of threads, the same threads that will be representing concurrent users
All that is left to do is running the test plan of course, analyzing the logs an continue with your website testing. The best of luck to you!

Happy weekend, folks. Let's recap the week.
This week's big story: The Obamacare 2.0 bonanza
Thursday, we found out what's in the Senate's mystery health care bill. Here's what we have so far.
The bill:
Conservative Review's "legislative wizard" Daniel Horowitz has all the gritty details on the bill, which he says "will create a permanent cycle of bailouts, price increases, lack of choices, and endless debt – all blamed upon the free market and leading to single-payer."
But don't just take his word for it. The guy who designed Obamacare even says that it's no longer a repeal bill.
The opposition:
Four GOP senators are pushing back against the bill, saying it doesn't do enough to repeal Obamacare and lower insurance premiums.
The insight:
"The biggest fraud of our political lifetime is that the GOP is opposed to Obamacare."
This week's 2-star buddy comedy:
Before the big health care reveal, a few Dem senators got in a cab and tried to get a copy of the bill in an attempted PR-stunt.
Sorry guys, you're just no match for Rand Paul and his trusty copy machine.
Meanwhile, in the real world:
YET ANOTHER health insurer has pulled out of the market, this time in Wisconsin and Indiana.
Georgia on everyone's mind:
The fight for HHS Secretary Price's old seat in the Georgia six was certainly one to watch.
Democrat Jon Ossoff, already beset with a ton of baggage, took heavy flak after he banned a reporter with a conservative outlet from election eve events.
Daniel Horowitz writes that the wins in Georgia and South Carolina should spur Republicans to get things done, but will the GOP's big Peach State win make any difference in the D.C. swamp?
This week's attempted coup:
As I discussed on the Steve Deace Show this week, though President Trump has (kind of) come to her aid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is circling the wagons after more members of her party are calling for her to step down.
She says she's "worth the trouble," though. Oh, and she's a "master legislator" and a "strategic, politically astute leader." Her words, not ours.
This week's Russian circus act:
The Russia narrative continues to unravel. Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson told the House Intelligence Committee Wednesday that while there were attacks on our voting systems by the Kremlin, he knows of "no evidence" that votes were "altered or suppressed in some way."
Oh, and after they got hacked, the Democrat Party refused help from DHS, Johnson added.
This week's really good news:
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise has been updated to fair condition and is "making good progress" after being shot in Alexandria, Va., last week.
Wounded Capitol Police officer Crystal Griner even left the hospital to throw the first pitch at this week's Congressional Women's Softball Game.
This week's celebrity cameo:
U2 fans on the Hill were abuzz this week as the band's front man, Bono, met with members of Congress and signed a get-well card for Scalise.
This week's celebrity shame:
Another actor made another distasteful joke about assassinating President Trump. At least this one's historically literate?
This week's free speech fist pump:
"If ideas are strong, if ideas are right, you don't need to muzzle the opposition. You should welcome the opposition." - Sen. Ted Cruz on campus free speech Tuesday.
This week's burn:
Retiring House Oversight Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz made waves when he announced his departure from Congress earlier this year, and he finally broke his silence about why he's stepping down.
This week's eye-roll:
It takes a true politician to claim kids shouldn't be used as political props … while using kids as political props.

WASHINGTON – The Washington National Opera is naming Francesca Zambello as its permanent artistic director beginning in 2013, as the company continues to shift to new leadership following 15 years under famed tenor Placido Domingo.
Zambello's new role was announced Thursday. Last year, she was appointed artistic adviser as Domingo was stepping down as director.
Zambello says she will maintain the high standards set by her predecessors and respect the tastes of long-time patrons. At the same time, she says she will work to attract new audiences to opera.
Zambello's production of "Show Boat" will come to Washington in 2013. She plans to stage Wagner's complete "Ring" cycle in 2016.
The 56-year-old also is director of the Glimmerglass Festival in New York. Beyond opera, Zambello is a respected director in musical theatre.

Extra, Extra: Dodds Delzell and Steven Abbott find no fit in 'Stones in His Pockets.'
Dream Machine
'Stones' shows Hollywood from the extras' side of the set
'I'll have the lemon meringue pie, please."
With this conspicuously innocuous request, Belfast-born playwright Marie Jones kicks off her fast, funny and not-so-innocuous hit play Stones in His Pockets. In a smart new co-production by Actors Theatre and the Santa Rosa Players, directed by Sheri Lee Miller, every line of conversation reverberates with unspoken meaning, while desires and the pain of not having them realized, even when they dangle right before the eyes, lie in waiting behind a trailer door or sit in the sun on a lunch counter like a forbidden slice of lemon meringue pie.
A massive Hollywood production company has descended upon a tiny Irish village in County Kerry to film a lavish historical epic, allowing hundreds of local folks to take jobs as extras. To the residents, the arrival of Hollywood (to the same location where John Wayne's The Quiet Man was filmed some fifty years before) represents several weeks' work and decent money, but it also provides a bittersweet acceleration of the hopes and aspirations of several local dreamers, primarily the town's resident would-be actor Jake Quinn (Dodds Delzell) and the recently bankrupt video-store owner Charlie Conlon (Steven Abbott), who meet as extras on the sprawling set of this Hollywood epic titled The Quiet Valley.
As is fitting for a play about unrealized dreams, nearly everything in Stones in His Pockets is imagined, conjured up onstage by the pantomime or shape-shifting of Abbott and Delzell, who frequently hop from playing Charlie and Jake to taking on several additional roles as the story flows along through a tangled knot of gently interweaving plots. Much of the show's considerable entertainment value comes in watching this dynamic duo step in and out of all those characters, embodying everyone from a condescending English movie director to a pair of seasoned assistant directors to a brutish Scottish security man to a Julia Roberts-like superstar to an ancient codger whose only lingering achievement is his status as the last surviving extra from the days of The Quiet Man. With no more than a change of voice and a shift of body language, the actors bounce distinctly from character to character, unaided by costume changes.
Charlie Conlon is a hopeless schemer with even less charm than he thinks he has. Charlie has written a movie script he believes in, but, to his mounting frustration, he cannot get anyone with influence to take a look at it. He can't even finagle that extra piece of pie, which comes to represent all the other things that have been denied him throughout his life.
The star-struck Jake Quinn, having recently returned from America where his acting ambitions were soundly thwarted, can barely believe his good fortune when the movie's gorgeous star apparently takes an interest and invites him to her hotel room for a bit of help on her Irish accent. In the end, Jake's already wounded dignity is further affronted, leading to a kind of consciousness-raising that spreads from one put-upon extra to the other. A concurrent plot line follows the effect a local suicide has on the strained relationship between the increasingly defiant locals and the exasperated movie people.
The set by Argo Thompson is stunningly simple: nothing more than a couple of chairs and a low, stone wall running across the otherwise bare stage. The wall is significant (and I beg Thompson and Miller's forgiveness if I am reading too much into this), as it represents the division that seems to stand between those whose dreams are always being dashed to pieces and those whose dreams have come true with such ease they barely appreciate their own fortune.
Stones is not about Hollywood and the life of the movie-set extra any more than it is about Ireland or County Kerry; rather, it employs the Irish and Hollywood as metaphors in a probing, frequently funny examination of the way that our dreams can simultaneously help and hurt us. The ingenious script and staging are reason enough to buy a ticket, but this being a story of underappreciated actors, it is fitting to point out, that the two main reasons to see Stones in His Pockets are Delzell and Abbott, whose tour-de-force performances are sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking and never short of dazzling.
'Stones in His Pockets' runs through May 29 at the Sixth Street Playhouse. Friday-Saturday at 8pm; Sunday at 2pm. Special $10 matinee on Saturday, May 14, at 2pm. 52 W. Sixth St., Santa Rosa. $15-$22. 707.523.4185.

Ever since the concept for Vegas In 24 came alive, I was set on completing the event on a Trek Speed Concept 9.9 triathlon bike. Not just is the bike amazingly aerodynamic, but it is also the bike I have been riding for the past many years, helping me through sub-10 hour Ironman triathlons and putting me on the podium for numerous other races. I was content riding my own bike all along. What I never imagined is that a group of sponsors would come together that would allow me to ride a brand new, totally customized Speed Concept 9.9 with a design so PINK that you could not mistake it for anything but a super fast breast cancer curing machine!
And yes, this is exactly what is happening right now. Thanks to Trek Bicycles, Helen's Cycles and Oakland Coffee, I will have the incredible privilege and honor to train for the event, and complete the event (fingers crossed), on a brand new customized Speed Concept. I will put my thinking cap on and start designing the bike in the coming weeks and hope to have a final production completion date in late January!
Watch out for a big design reveal in February!
Thank you Trek, Helen's and Oakland for your support and for turning this into reality! I couldn't be more excited!

Brian Cashman appeared to make it clear that the Yankees would not sign Rafael Soriano when he said the Yankees "will not lose [their] No. 1 draft pick." He went on to say that he would have given up the team's top pick for Cliff Lee, but not for anybody else.
But then Jon Heyman had this to say via Twitter: "Yankees still in on Soriano." Heyman also adds that the White Sox don't appear to have a need for Soriano, and that the Angels could go after him, but that they need hitting more.
Does this mean the Rays could be a dark horse?
Don't count on it. In addition to wanting a several-year deal and many more millions than the Rays are willing to spend on a reliever, there is also the indirect cost of two draft picks. While the Rays wouldn't have to surrender any picks to sign Soriano, they would lose the two picks they would receive if Soriano signs with another team.
The idea of bringing MFIKY back is a nice one. It is also not a realistic one. Then again, it wasn't very realistic a year ago either.

I'm going to start with saying that I have never been to Seattle nor have I ever been anywhere near the Pacific-northwest. With no expectations, we landed in SEA and headed straight to our hotel. (It was about 11pm, don't judge.) Seattle brought many first's, but the most special one is that prior to our trip, I had never stayed at a Kimpton Hotel before. I left feeling certain I might never go back to any other brand… Kimpton's Instagram describes their brand spot on: Unique, Stylish, Spirited. Let's be real here though, Kimpton you had me at the wallpaper in the bedroom.
The Space
We had the opportunity to stay in a high rise standard king room the first night and on the second night we found ourselves in a spacious suite on the fourth floor. It overlooked some pretty amazing street views and falling orange leaves. The sitting area had enough space to sit 5 or 6 comfortably. Curtains separated the bedroom where the magic of the space comes to life. I loved the view, the walls and the convenient amenities. Each closet came prepped with 2 robes, a yoga mat and an umbrella.
Each night, they serve complimentary wine in the lobby with a fire blazing. Every part of the hotel was created for comfort and relaxation and having a service such as this allows a guest to feel at home. Whether you want coffee in your room or coffee on the way out in the lobby, Kimpton does their best to provide anything you might need to enjoy your stay.
Outlier aims to bring the "many faces of Seattle" together to create this unique type of ambiance. Grab a signature cocktail for happy hour or sip coffee as you await your Eggs Benedict. (We did both). Both drinks and food on the menu are carefully created with the best ingredients. The service was outstanding and if you know me aside from the food, that's what really makes a good experience turn great.
The verdict
If you're looking for a hotel in the perfect location, Kimpton Hotel Monaco is the place to be. Its just a short walk away from Pike Place Market and right across the street from the Seattle Public Library. We even walked to the space needle and back. & if walking isn't your thing borrow a bike from the front desk. This service is complimentary and is a great way to explore the city! The location, amenities and design will make your trip to Seattle one to remember.

National Novel Writing Month is here once again and for the 12 straight year I will try to accomplish what has been to this date impossible for me to finish. This year I'm not off to the greatest start with just a little over 300+ words. To make things worse. I have no damn idea what I am writing about. I do have a title, thanks to an off the cuff remark by everyone pal Mister Simmons ( who coincidentally is offering pay what you want on a couple stories I was spiritual involved with AND he just launched a webcomic with two of my favorite aholes Bing and O'Toole. ) my nanowrimo this year will be called HATEFUL.
Like I said earlier, I have no idea what HATEFUL is about or even if the title fits the story.
Okay, bye!

Up until this point on the NX/Switch hype train we really haven't gotten any screenshots or even trailers of what a game running on the Switch can look like. Last night, Jimmy Fallon got to play Zelda: Breath of the Wild live on a Nintendo Switch. That was the first gameplay seen running on a Nintendo Switch and not superimposed onto the screen. And man was the gameplay smoother than many expected on the handheld device itself(It's also thinner than I thought it was.), but from the footage we got to see it didn't really look all that different from the Wii U version. Granted, its still months of development to go so that can change, but as of right now the only difference I could see was no framerate drops.
And now that gameplay demo has been followed up with the announcement of a new Switch title called "Seasons of Heaven." This announcement was made, not with a trailer, but with screenshots. Take a look:
I'll be the first to admit, that while I've always believed the Nintendo Switch had more power under the hood than most thought it did, this exceeds even my expectations. Like, that's some gorgeous lighting and foliage. Heck, I think I even seen subsurface scattering on the character and leaves. Nintendo is officially a part of the next generation people.
Oh, and if you're interested in the story that the game intends to tell(I kind of am.), here's what the developer, Any Arts Production, had to say:
"One of America's great authors, Louis L'Amour once said, "There will come a time when you believe that everything is finished. Yet, that will be the beginning." In Seasons of Heaven that is exactly what a small group of people who find themselves survivors of the greatest purge every known will ultimately come to realize. In their struggles to survive on a stripped and barren earth, they will learn that humans across the world literally died as a result of their own careless actions. Centuries of lying waste to the very land that sustained them was what would kill them in the end. The animals would be killed and eaten into extinction. The water needed to sustain all life would be polluted until it was undrinkable, and the air would be filled with waste that would suffocate the oxygen that was vital to their survival and the survival of everything else on earth. As the survivors learn to survive in a whole new world they will have to remember that the very things that gave their fellow humans a sense of superiority and even omnipotence were what had killed them in the end. Seasons of Heaven will take you from deep inside of a mystical forest at the beginning of time all the way through to the twenty-first century and the fall of civilization. It will take you on a journey with Yann, a young boy with Asperger's syndrome and his faithful companion, Ani, a French bulldog who Yann is able to communicate with through telepathy. As you follow along on their journey you'll have the opportunity to meet the rest of the major players and bear witness to the enlightenment of some and the demise of others. This story will allow you to experience the awe of discovering the most beautiful, magical place that ever existed while at the same time staying only one step ahead of the dark and vile underbelly of the human race."
And just so we're clear, I got all this from here:

Tomorrow we are starting our first Whole30 challenge, so I have spent the last week getting things ready and stocking the fridge with appropriate foodstuffs. If you are not familiar with Whole30, it is essentially a month-long eating protocol that focuses all of your attention on whole, unprocessed foods. Foods that you eliminate for the 30 days include all grains, legumes, sugars and artificial sugars, all alcohol, dairy (other than clarified butter), and any food additives. White potatoes and vegetable oils are also off limits (olive oil and avocado oil are fine, as they are actually fruit oils). All animal proteins should be from pastured, non-factory-farmed sources. What does this leave on the plate? A whole lot of vegetables, fruits, fish, eggs, nuts, and some pastured, organic meats.
The motivation to do this is pretty simple. A couple of years ago I cut out all grains, legumes, and refined sugars and started eating that way as a lifestyle, not as a "diet." I lost weight, yes, but the more dramatic things for me were mostly less visible to others. I was able to give up my inhaler because my asthma essentially resolved. My allergies improved, dramatically. My skin cleared up (dealing with the onset of wrinkles while also dealing with adult acne is not fun). My sleep improved. For the first time in my adult life I wasn't operating like someone with an eating disorder. I don't toss around the word "miracle" as a rule, but that is how it all felt. Since I love a new cooking challenge, it has also been fun to come up with recipes that make this way of eating really enjoyable.
I kept that up with minimal effort for a long time, because it really is a great way to eat and I felt good physically for the first time in years. And then, sometime around last September, I started to get a little over-confident and a little lazy. There were too many Paleo-ified desserts happening. Too many dinners out that involved "just a little" gluten. Too much wine and dark chocolate. Way too much holiday revelry from November through January.
The end result is that I am now seeing and feeling the toxic accumulation of several months of eating too much crap: I have been forced to start using my inhaler again, I'm investing in cover stick again, and my allergies are back with a vengeance. I haven't technically gained any weight but I am dealing with inflammation bloat and clothes that feel considerably less loose than they did a few months ago. All of this is really unpleasant, as an understatement. Thus, the simple motivation–I want to remind myself how it feels to be well. I want to restart that process.
Since bread hasn't been part of our daily diets for a long time, the biggest challenge of this is going to be the absence of dairy. We love our dairy. I generally stick with cultured, full-fat dairy products like Greek yogurt, pastured butter and crema, and lots and lots and lots of cheese. So part of our "prep" for the upcoming challenge is that we have been eating all of the delicious cheese in the house. Delicious. Cheese.
Brie, and some extra sharp cheddar, and some gouda, and a wedge of St. André…
Sorry, I got a little distracted there. The cheese is all gone now, and we are weeping tears of whey, but we are determined to try this for 30 days and see how we feel. It is my fervent hope that when we finish and re-introduce dairy that it will all be fine and good and I will once again have a fridge full of cheese. We'll see how that goes.
Beyond the cheese, it will tough to give up our dark chocolate and weekend glasses of wine, but we are both really excited to get started. In addition to clearing out the forbidden foodstuffs, I have also been stocking us up on lots of tasty "safe" foods. I made a batch of clarified butter, using this method. Clarified butter is easy to make and since the milk solids are removed it is free of lactose and it is also useful for higher-heat cooking.
I also put in an order to U.S. Wellness Meats, which is the only place I know to get pastured, nitrate-free, sugar-free bacon and sausage. I can get great local chicken, beef, and other types of pork that meet those criteria, but not bacon. I stocked up on some Toasted Onion SeaSnax for me and some Lara bars for Harrison (he is a lean, avid athlete who needs the carbs–I am not). Today I went to opening day at the Farmers' Market and stocked us up with pastured eggs, carrots, greens, and mushrooms. That's a bottle of locally-made Beet and Ginger Kombucha in the back.
I also went through my existing recipes to see what I already have that is Whole30 approved, and I set up a new tab for that under the Recipe Index. I also started a Whole30 Pinterest board to help with my own motivation–I might avoid browsing Pinterest for the upcoming month, because you all post lots of great looking food that is definitely not Whole30, but I will keep on pinning things that look great.
I'm going to be blogging our process several times a week (I want to promise daily, but as the semester draws to an end that will get less possible). My goal is to show you how a beginner does with this, and to chronicle what we are eating, what we might be missing, how we are feeling, and how we manage things like dining out (which is going to be a challenge). And, naturally, I will be adding some new Whole30 compliant recipes as I go. I hope you will enjoy following our little journey. Please wish us luck!
Thanks for reading,

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – The smile was broader than ever as Daniel Ricciardo savoured a surprise Chinese Grand Prix victory in his own inimitable fashion on Sunday.
After chugging champagne out of his sweaty boot in a trademark podium 'shoey' celebration as watching mechanics cheered, the beaming and slightly tearful Australian contemplated an astonishing turn of events.
"Holy Testicle Tuesday," the 28-year-old exclaimed when asked what his reaction would have been had someone suggested in winter testing that Red Bull would win a race before champions Mercedes this season.
"A week ago I was with my head down after two laps on Sunday. Frustrated at the sport, frustrated at all the variables that are involved in the sport," he added.
"Sometimes I question why I chose this sport because there's so many other things out of your control and it does get you down a lot. But then when you have a day like this it's worth 50 of those bad ones."
Ricciardo was forced out of last weekend's race in Bahrain after just two laps due to a problem with his power unit's control electronics.
It was a race the Australian had gone into expecting to challenge for the win.
In the season-opener in Melbourne he was slapped with a grid penalty that took away any hope of winning in front of his home crowd. He finished fourth instead.
It looked like Ricciardo was set for another disappointing weekend in China too after a blown engine in Saturday's final practice session almost caused him to miss qualifying.
Only a minor miracle by his hard-pressed mechanics allowed him to qualify sixth, putting Ricciardo in the right place at the right time to capitalise on the safety car that swung the race Red Bull's way.
"Opportunity be knocking," agreed Ricciardo.
"We didn't think we were going to get out in qualifying and, just over 24 hours later, now to be here …this sport's crazy.
"Two minutes later yesterday and we would have started the race today from the back…I'm super, super thankful that they helped me pull this off today."
Sunday's win was the sixth of Ricciardo's career and all have been characterised by breathtaking and sometimes hairy overtaking manoeuvres, with the win taken from under the noses of others.
British television commentator and former racer Martin Brundle described him as 'the racing burglar' after Sunday's exploits.
Ricciardo was at it again on Sunday, passing four times world champion Lewis Hamilton and the Briton's Mercedes team mate with characteristic flair and in contrast to team mate Max Verstappen's botched efforts.
"I don't seem to win boring races, they're all pretty fun," he had said on the podium.
"Sometimes you've just got to lick the stamp and send it," he added of the lunge on Hamilton for third place.
"They are all pretty sweet but to be honest, until I got Valtteri I wasn't getting excited about any of them. At that point I knew that we had a car to win and I wasn't going to be satisfied until I was in the lead.
"After Valtteri, I got on the radio and got a little bit giddy."

Feverishly experimental, Berlin-based Milena Kling grounds her warmly paletted glasswork in the alchemy of natural phenomena. Metamorphosed from copper filigree molds and pleated copper sheets interacting with mouth-blown glass, her breathtakingly unique vases and assorted objects transmute metal into treasure that blazes with raw textures and artisanal panache.
Born in Berlin in 1983, Kling studied Product & Process Design at the University of Arts, Berlin, graduating in 2012. Her thesis work, "THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE," includes the first iterations of her Raw and Ruby glass collections. The project was nominated for both 2013 Talente and German Design awards and showcased in several group and solo exhibitions, including at Munich's Pinakothek Der Moderne.
Amid and after her studies, Kling extended the breadth of her craft in a variety of high-profile international work experiences: contributing product and graphic design for Tokyo's NOSIGNER (2009-2010); conceiving interiors and large-scale installations at Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio in London (2011); and working as both designer and project manager for Berlin artist Sarah Illenberger (2011-present). This last partnership, with Illenberger, has proved a major platform for Kling's burgeoning talent, leading to installation projects for renowned brands like Hermés, The New York Times, AD, Vogue, and Zeit Magazin, among others.
Since 2012, Kling has maintained her eponymous studio in Berlin, where she continues her material- and chemistry-driven bespoke contemporary glasswork. Outside of "THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE," her standout collections include The Alchemist & Co (2015), which immortalize the ephemera that is Kling's signature in crystal glass that gleams with the deep-crimson imprints of copper; Raw (2016), an ongoing update of her explorations into highly delicate copper-molded vases; and Circle (2016), which features stunning water glasses, distinctly shaped and engraved by their manufacture in finely pleated copper sheets.
In each year of her activity, Kling has been invited to participate in international exhibitions. A selection of salient showcases includes, among others, London Design Week (2014, 2015); IMM Cologne (2014, 2015); Beijing Design Week (2015); Milan Design Week (2016, 2018); Los Angeles's Dwell on Design (2016); Pinakothek Der Moderne's Die Neue Sammlung in Munich (2017); and Design Beijing (2018).

This is the Iron Giant and Hogarth! It's perfect timing since he seems to be a decently big part of Ready Player One. But I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the original animation. I used to watch this with my brother all the time. And this scene is by far the most powerful for me. I hope you guys like it! :)
I modeled the Iron Giant in Fusion 360, I posed him and split him up in there as well. Then I made all the files print ready in Simplify3D. I modeled Hogarth in ZBrush.
Watch the video about how I created this here: https://youtu.be/DzTemn0n1hM
Fillamentum was the filament sponsor for this project. So thank you Fillamentum. Go check out their filament here:
After the parts were printed, we assembled them using a ton of glue and 2 part epoxy. And Chelsey painted Hogarth using acrylic paints.
Printers: Prusa MK3, Prusa MK2S & Robo R2
Lightest Gray: Fillamentum Metallic Gray
Medium Gray: Fillamentum Iron Gray
Darkest Gray: Fillamentum Vertigo Gray
Printer: Peopoly Moai
Peopoly Resin
If you're going to print this, be aware that scaling it down may cause some problems. There are a few parts that will become to small to print (notably the finger cuffs). I will be making a few derivatives of this model and uploading them (hopefully shortly) that should allow for printing smaller. :)
Other wise if you run into any weird issues, leave a comment here and I'll do my best to keep up on them and fix any issues!
Check me out on YouTube
Is there assembly instructions available?
hola, tienes algun tutorial o plano para poder montarlo?
Iron Giant is a Ready Player one abomination
cuanto tiempo te llevo imprimir??
hope to see the smaller version
I got to see this at MRRF 2018 and it was fantastic model. very big to :-)
Once printed, is this model articulated - ie can it move - or can it only be assembled in the pose as illustrated - kneeling
What is the final size?

Canadians are legally required to have automobile insurance on their vehicles. Auto insurance is regulated by the provincial governments and these regulations are different in each one. It is mandatory to hold insurance from an insurance company in the province in which you reside. You must know what is mandatory in your province and what coverage you may want to add.
How Auto Insurance Works
The purpose of auto insurance is to cover the unpredictable loss in the event that you are involved in an automobile incident. Billions of dollars are paid out every year to cover the cost of auto insurance claims in Canada alone. Insurance companies are closely audited to ensure they can cover these costs in the event that the worst does happen.
The federal government via the Office of the Superintendant of Financial Institutions (OSFI) requires insurance companies to have a certain amount of capital on hand to cover every policy they sell. The insurance company must prove that it can cover every potential claim they sell.
Auto Insurance Risk and Auto Insurance Rules Vary by Province
Assessing Risk, determining prices and even how insurance companies may handle claims. A provincial agency within each province regulates the auto insurance industry. Each of these provincial agencies determines which factors can and cannot be used by insurers to set auto insurance rates and how they may be used. Factors including a driver's age or gender may be used in one province but not in others. All insurers must have their systems for classifying risk assessed and approved by the provincial regulatory agency any time they wish to change insurance rates.
Because each province has its own regulatory agency and set of standards and rules, auto insurance differs greatly from one province to the next. The provincial government can play a major role in determining the level of legal benefits an injured party may receive through auto insurance claims, but also what insurance they may purchase outside of the insurance contract. In one province you may be able to sue for pain and suffering and economic loss beyond their insurance benefits but in another province, they may not or it may be limited or capped at a certain amount. The government also regulates the wording in the industry to ensure it is standardized, that the same terminology is used throughout the insurance agencies within the province.
Out of Province Car Insurance
If you are moving from one province to another with your vehicle, the provincial government generally gives you 90 days to switch your license and insurance as well as the plates on your car. You will require your driver's license, the complete used vehicle information package, proof of purchase, proof of insurance from a licensed insurer inside the province, original transfer of sale permit, the plate portion of the permit.

Peter Marzio, whose director's message on the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston website takes particular pride in the religious exhibit Dynasty and Divinity: Ife Art in Ancient Nigeria, has died, according to CultureMap Houston.
Marzio has been called "a breath of fresh air, in a community that doesn't tend to welcome new ideas that go against the 'museum culture'" for his "rogue" comments about the news that Brandeis University was talking with Sotheby's about perhaps renting out its Rose Art Museum collection. (It was previously reported to be considering selling the collection altogether.)
Under Marzio's directorship, the MFAH has brought attention to Islamic art through its exhibit Light of the Sufis: The Mystical Arts of Islam.
Quoted in a review of the show in ARTnews, Marzio said, "We started talking to various Islamic leaders and found that it would be important to show the very positive sides and the enormous diversity of Islamic cultures."

By Michelle Andrews | Kaiser Health News
As aging baby boomers swell the ranks of elderly Americans, we're nowhere near a solution to providing the long-term care services many of them will need.
The spending impact on consumers' out-of-pocket costs and the Medicaid program would vary depending on when the coverage kicked in.
The program that paid on the front end would have a bigger effect on individuals' out-of-pocket spending for long-term care services. Forty-five percent of spending on the front-end program would displace out-of-pocket spending by individuals, compared with displacing 33 percent of out-of-pocket spending in the back-end program. That makes sense, since many people pay for long-term care services on their own until they can no longer afford to do so and then turn to Medicaid.
Conversely, the insurance program that paid out on the back end after two years would be more advantageous for Medicaid. That program would displace 38 percent of Medicaid spending, compared with just 15 percent for the front-end program.
Consumer advocates have long championed plans to establish some sort of national insurance program to help cover long-term care services. But costs and political differences have stymied the efforts. The Urban researchers, in the most recent brief, suggest that although more studies are needed, the back-end program they modeled "could reduce Medicaid spending, providing financial relief to hard-pressed states" and "reduce out-of-pocket spending for families."
Insurance is only one piece of the puzzle, said Bonnie Burns, a policy specialist and long-term care expert at California Health Advocates, a Medicare advocacy organization.
"What we need is a coordinated system of care," she said. "We've spent 30 years of looking at this problem. There's lots of data but there's no action."

Praised as a 'humanitarian'
"In addition to all that he has done in the Valley," said United Way President Jack Walsh, "Joe has also traveled to other parts of the country to help those who have been victims of natural disasters. He is truly an example of why this award has the word humanitarian in it."
In his professional life, Andreana held managerial positions with GTE Service Corp., Southern New England Telephone and AT&T.
Honors lifetime of community service
The Charles H. Flynn Humanitarian Award is presented for a lifetime of service to the community, encompassing more than one town or organization.

Ariana Grande has so much respect for her exes that she sent each of them her latest single "Thank You, Next" before it was released.
In an interview with #Billboard, the pop star confirmed that Pete Davidson, in addition to Big Sean and Ricky Alvarez, were not going to be caught off guard by the "shout outs." "I wasn't going to blindside anybody," she explained about her choice to send the song to her exes.
Ariana released her newest album #Sweetener in August and has gone through a lot since then, which gave her enough material to create another full album. The album was a form of therapy for Grande after breaking off her engagement to Pete Davidson and mourning the loss of ex-boyfriend #MacMiller, all within a two-month timeframe.
She said, "the album was born out of a lot of feminine energy and champagne and music and laughter and crying. This [album's] not particularly uplifting. A lot of it sounds really upbeat, but it's actually a super sad chapter."
