So I picked it up again today, earlier in the day to make it less likely that I would fall asleep, and today I have made it to all of page 13 - but already I feel the same thing happening. It's very rare indeed for me to ever find any book too boring to finish, but it's completely unprecedented for me to be so bored by page 13 to already be contemplating it. But here's the thing: in those 13 pages I've read so far, the only thing that has happened is: some guy woke up.
And when I say "some guy," I do not mean "some guy whose identity I could tell you more details about but am omitting the details of in order to exaggerate how boring the book is." No, not at all. I mean, "some guy about whom I know nothing whatsoever other than that he has spent the past 13 pages waking up, one muscle at a time, telling me in excruciating detail about how he often finds when he first wakes up that
I lost all sense of the place in which I had gone to sleep, and when I awoke in the middle of the night, not knowing where I was, I could not even be sure at first who I was; I had only the most rudimentary sense of existence, such as may lurk and flicker in the depths of an animal's consciousness; I was more destitute than the cave-dweller; but then the memory - not yet of the place in which I was, but of various other places where I had lived and might now very possibly be - would come like a rope let down from heaven to draw me up out of the abyss of not-being, from which I could never have escaped by myself: in a flash I would traverse centuries of civilisation, and out of a blurred glimpse of oil-lamps, then of shirts with turned-down collars, would gradually piece together the original components of my ego.I mean, if I were ever looking for the perfect essay on what the human experience of waking up is like, to show to a friendly passing space alien who'd never experienced sleep, there'd be no topping Marcel Proust. But I sort of thought this was supposed to be a novel, not an essay on what the human experience of waking up is like. And there's zero character development here. Like, the guy mentions that he sometimes dreams while he's asleep, and he mentions some things his dreams are sometimes like. Surely you'd think that details about what someone dreams about would be an opportunity for a novelist to reveal something about the character's individuality. Well, this guy dreams about his childhood, and about having sex with women. No, not anything interesting about his childhood, and not anything interesting about sex with women, either. Just: the fact of having once been little. And sex, described in the vaguest terms possible, with women. He does not name any specific women whom he has been known to dream about having sex with; he merely says that he has been known to dream of having sex with women and that some of them were real women whom he knew. The sex seems to have been pleasant, but he tells no details beyond that. What I learned from his dreams about sex with women is that he either has been known to enjoy sex with women, or else imagines that he might enjoy it someday. In summary: the only things I have managed to learn about this man in 13 pages are that he has been known to sleep and wake up, and that he is probably heterosexual (since he does not mention any dreams about having sex with men). And that his memories that he flashes through when waking up include "a blurred glimpse of oil-lamps, then of shirts with turned-down collars," whatever the hell that says about him. He probably wears shirts. He probably uses lamps. The fact that the lamps are oil lamps can hardly be considered revealing since the book was published in 1913. Is Proust ever going to get around to telling me anything non-generic about this guy?
Perhaps the immobility of the things that surround us is forced upon them by our conviction that they are themselves and not anything else, by the immobility of our conception of them. For it always happened that when I awoke like this, my mind struggled in an unsuccessful attempt to discover where I was, everything revolved around me through the darkness: things, places, years. My body, still too heavy with sleep to move, would endeavor to construe from the pattern of its tiredness the position of its various limbs, in order to deduce therefrom the direction of the wall, the location of the furniture, to piece together and give a name to the house in which it lay. Its memory, the composite memory of its ribs, its knees, its shoulder-blades, offered it a series of rooms in which it had at one time or another slept, while the unseen walls, shifting and adapting themselves to the shape of each successive room that it remembered, whirled round it in the dark. And even before my brain, hesitating at the threshold of times and shapes, had reassembled the circumstances sufficiently to identify the room, it - my body - would recall from each room in succession the style of the bed, the position of the doors, the angle at which the daylight came in at the windows, whether there was a passage outside, what I had had in my mind when I went to sleep and found there when I awoke.
Please, someone tell me it doesn't continue like this for all 615 pages of Volume 1 and all 3600 or so pages of the remaining six volumes.

So much for that trifecta. Not only does it still appear that 8 is passing, but I'm also decidedly not pregnant.
I started spotting yesterday, tested this morning, and my period has definitely arrived. Nice.
As for Prop 8, it still hasn't been called. The No on Prop 8 website states that the race is still too close to call, that the "Yes" side is about 400,000 votes ahead. They state that there are also between three and four million absentee and provisional ballots that have yet to be counted. They have no idea what the demographics of those voters might be. I don't know. The realist in me tells me to brace for the worst. I don't know what will happen to our marriage. I just don't know.
I'm saddened, too, by the hate-filled initiatives that were passed in other states: Both Florida and Arizona passed amendments to define marriage as between a man and a woman, and Arkansas has banned adoption and foster parenting by anyone but married people (they obviously don't allow same-sex marriage).
Our nation made great strides last night toward racial equality, but we still have so very far to go.

JCAN Community Resources
Bringing the Community Together
The Jackson community is coming together to respond to the impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19). Following the Local State of Emergency declaration from Mayor Derek Dobies on March 17, a section of Jackson County's emergency response was activated to care for human service needs. Around the same time, the Jackson COVID-19 Action Network (JCAN) was taking shape.
JCAN is now working with the county's emergency response to meet the needs of the community. The group consists of representatives from more than two dozen local government agencies, organizations, businesses, non-profits, resident-lead community groups, and volunteers. JCAN is focused on ensuring all Jackson County residents have access to food, shelter, information and other basic needs.
How You Can Give and Receive Help
Several initiatives have been launched to raise funds, obtain supplies, and organize volunteers. JCAN is currently supported through a fund established by the United Way of Jackson County and the Jackson Community Foundation. As of late May, the fund has already raised more than $294,000 for the JCAN effort from community donations. The money will be used to purchase and distribute supplies to residents in need. Some of the essential items include:
- Baby formula
- Baby wipes
- Diapers and pull-ups
- Tampons and pads
- Hand sanitizer
- Toilet paper
- Sanitizer wipes
- Toiletries
- Over the counter meds
- Laundry soap
- Bleach
Funds raised will also support local organizations to help residents and address long-term implications of the crisis. Monetary donations are accepted online by visiting uwjackson.org and going to the "Donate" section.
For those wanting to donate the items listed, a donation site has been established at the City of Jackson's Boos Community Center. The Boos Community Center is located in Loomis Park at 210 Gilbert St. Donations are accepted Monday through Friday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Items will sit for several days in a secure area and regularly wiped down to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Those looking for help should call the 2-1-1 helpline to get connected to assistance from JCAN and other community resources. JCAN is also looking for volunteers to assist with response efforts. Anyone interested in volunteering should also call 2-1-1 if they're interested in volunteering.
JCAN will continue to update the community on new response initiatives and services when they're available. Residents wanting to stay updated on JCAN's efforts should follow the City's social media platforms and sign up for CodeRED for the latest updates.
How JCAN is Helping the Community: May 29, 2020 Update
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis continues to affect the community, Jackson is rising to the challenge and stepping up to help those in need. This important work of responding to basic needs is taking place through the leadership of the Jackson COVID-19 Action Network, also known as JCAN.
JCAN, which functions as part of Jackson County's emergency response, consists of representatives from more than two dozen local government agencies, organizations, businesses, non-profits, resident-lead community groups, and volunteers. This collaborative group is focused on ensuring all Jackson County residents have access to food, shelter, information, and other basic needs.
Since its formation in mid-March, JCAN has been stepping into action to provide these basic needs. JCAN's efforts are supported by the COVID-19 Response Fund created by the United Way of Jackson County and the Jackson Community Foundation. As of May 20, the fund has raised $294,171. So far, $167,019 of that total has been allocated to purchase and distribute supplies to residents in need, along with supporting area non-profits. A total of 113,891 items have been distributed. These donations have come from local businesses, organizations, and residents.
A video has been produced by JCAN and the City of Jackson to highlight the efforts of organizations like the United Way of Jackson County and Partial to Girls.

Business Secretary announces £4 million of funding to counter cyber security threats at first ever US-UK cyber innovation summit.
Securious attended the Global Cyber Security Summit this week and heard from the Business Secretary, Rt Hon Dr Vince Cable announce a £4 million competition for UK Cyber businesses to develop ideas to tackle cyber security threats.
The summit is supported by US and UK governments and promotes partnerships and projects in cyber security.
"SMEs are responsible for developing a lot intellectual property on cyber defence, but many face the challenge of integrating into the supply chains of bigger organisations," said Cable.
The Technology Strategy Board will run the competition from March 2015. The government's innovation agency will fund companies with the best ideas.
Ahead of the summit, Business Secretary Vince Cable said:
The growth of the cyber security sector in the UK is a great success story, worth over £6 billion and employing around 40,000 people. Building a strong and resilient cyberspace in the UK is central to ensuring that our companies can make the most of business opportunities online, whilst avoiding potentially costly threats to the information they hold and the services they provide.
Maintaining innovation and growth requires continued investment. Committing a further £4 million will help businesses of all sizes turn their ideas to counter cyber threats into reality. Partnering with industry experts will also increase the opportunities for the UK's small cyber companies to work together and grow their businesses.

Which travel adapter do I need to bring for using hair straighteners in Belgium?
Will my hair straighteners work in Belgium?
Check that your hair straighteners can handle the voltage in Belgium:
- If your hair straighteners can run on 230 volts or can support dual voltage (how to check) then you'll only need to use the right power adapter for Belgium listed on this page if the plug on your hair straighteners won't fit in the outlet.
If not then:
- Use dual voltage travel hair straighteners [2] - you may still need to use a suitable power adapter for Belgium however these cheap lightweight accessories are designed specifically for travel.
- Use a power converter (or voltage transformer) - this will enable you to use your existing hair straighteners and other applicances with a 230 volt Belgian power outlet, however this is significantly heavier, bulkier and more expensive than dedicated travel hair straighteners. A voltage transformer will change the voltage but not the shape of the plug on your hair straighteners to fit in the types of wall outlet used in Belgium, therefore check that your power converter includes the correct power adapter for Belgium otherwise you will also need to purchase another power adapter. Also worth noting that your domestic hair straighteners might not be suitable for travel and you risk potential damage in your luggage. [7] [AD]
Using hair straighteners in Belgium
Will my hair straighteners work in Belgium?
It depends on if your hair straighteners is designed to operate using the 230 volts which are used in Belgium:
- If you're using either dual voltage hair straighteners or your hair straighteners can operate using 230 volts and you have the appropriate power adapter then you can use your hair straighteners in Belgium.
- If not then then you will need to consider bringing either dual voltage travel hair straighteners [2] or a heavier and more expensive power converter, read the section on will a power converter work with your hair straighteners in Belgium for help deciding which option is more suitable. [7] [AD]
Belgium power outlets and plug sockets
What voltage is used in Belgium?
Power outlets in Belgium are 230 volts.
What is the frequency used with a Belgian power outlet?
The frequency of the alternating current from a Belgian power outlet is 50 Hz. [8]
Which travel adapter do you need for using hair straighteners in Belgium?
There are two different types of power outlets used in Belgium, these are type E and C with the primary power outlets being type E:
- Plug Type C - This plug socket, also called the Europlug, is identified by 2 round holes adjacent to each other where the two plug socket pins go.
- Plug Type E - You can recognise the wall outlet by the two round holes 19mm adjacent to each other where the two plug socket pins go and a single long metal earth pin protruding from the top in a triangular shape.
A Type E power adapter will allow you to use 230 volt hair straighteners in Belgium; read the step by step guide below for full details of using a power adapter for Belgium. Please be aware that unless you that have dual voltage hair straighteners you might also have to bring a voltage converter. [6] [9] [AD]
Dual voltage hair straighteners
Are my hair straighteners dual voltage?
One method to tell if your hair straighteners will handle dual voltage is to look for either a sticker or numbers printed on the handle or plug of the hair straighteners. This location will vary depending on the make and model of your hair straighteners, it could also state in the instruction manual or on the box. Some dual voltage models will change automatically but other models will have a button which allows you to operate between different voltage ranges.
- Single voltage could say a specific number - such as 110V. If this number matches the 230 volts used in Belgium then you should be able to use your hair straighteners with a Belgian power outlet.
- Single voltage might also have a small voltage range with a dash to accomodate small voltage fluctuations - such as 100-120V. If the 230 volts used in a Belgian power outlet falls within the range shown on your hair straighteners then you should be able to use it in Belgium.
- Dual voltage will typically say a large voltage range separated with a slash - such as 100/240V. Your hair straighteners will be capable of being used in Belgium or any other country if these numbers are shown.
Travelling to Belgium with hair straighteners
Should I bring domestic hair straighteners or travel hair straighteners to Belgium?
It is preferable to packing dual voltage travel hair straighteners as opposed to bringing your existing domestic hair straighteners to Belgium as it is safer to assume that they'll work with the 230 volt power outlets used with a Belgian power outlet, as long as you bring the correct plug adapter for Belgium. It is also worth bearing in mind that packing expensive domestic hair straighteners could put them at risk because of potential loss or damage in transit by airport baggage handlers in Belgium. The cost of replacing expensive quality hair straighteners in Belgium could be more than buying cheap dual voltage travel hair straighteners [2] before travelling. If you intend to bring your own personal hair straighteners in your luggage either slide them inside a sneaker or boot to protect from light damage, or use a shockproof and heat resistant hot tools travel case or heat travel mat for hair straighteners and curling irons which also allows the hair straighteners to be packed right after use without waiting to cool down. [11] [12] [AD]
Can you carry on hair straighteners?
According to the TSA guidelines for hair straighteners there is no restriction on carrying mains powered hair straighteners in your carry on hand luggage through airport security in the US. The TSA recommends that you should verify that your airline that is flying you to Belgium will allow hair straighteners onboard and that they will fit in the overhead bin or underneath the seat of the aircraft. Packing your hair straighteners in a dedicated heat resistant protective hot tools travel case leaves them easily accessible when going through airport security checks, they can be packed away quickly and will avoid a tangle of cords in your carry on luggage (the TSA suggests wrapping wires tightly around hair straighteners). If you intend to bring fragile or expensive hair straighteners in your hand held luggage then it is advisable to bring hard carry on luggage as this offers the greatest protection against bumps and knocks during transit. [10] [11] [13] [14] [AD]
Power converters for Belgium
What is the difference between a power adapter and a voltage converter for Belgium?
A lightweight, small and cheap power adapter (or plug adapter) will change the shape of the plug on your hair straighteners to fit into a power outlet in Belgium, however a more expensive and heavier power converter transforms the voltage of 230 volts from a Belgian power outlet to work with non-230 volt hair straighteners. [7] [AD]
Can I use hair straighteners with a power converter for Belgium?
The correct type power converter (or voltage transformer) allows hair straighteners using a different voltage to work with the 230 volt power outlet used in Belgium. Travellers who wish to bring their existing domestic hair straighteners can use a power converter, but it might be considerably less expensive to buy dedicated dual voltage travel hair straighteners [2] than it will be to purchase a power converter. Also worth noting, travel hair straighteners can be substantially lighter and smaller than a power converter making travel hair straighteners more suitable when packing in luggage. [7] [AD]
Hair straightener safety
Are hair straighteners dangerous?
The temperature of the ceramic plates used in hair straighteners can reach over 200 degrees with the potential to burn hair, skin, and even start a fire if not used correctly. According to figures from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service electrical beauty products have been responsible for an estimated 650,000 fires in the United Kingdom alone.
How can I minimise risk using hair straighteners?
- Skin protection: Wear heat resistant gloves during styling to protect hands from heat.
- Children's protection: With 10% of children's burns being caused by hair straighteners it is recommended to look for hair straighteners which include a heat resistant end cap to keep the plates closed shut when not in use, making it easier to store out of reach of children.
- Luggage protection: Placing hair straighteners directly into luggage without allowing them to cool down can risk damage to clothes and heating up combustible or flammable packed items. If your hair straighteners weren't supplied with a heat protective cap then wrap them in a heat mat or use a hot tools travel case to pack them into luggage whilst warm. A travel case will also keep expensive hair straighteners protected from damage during transit.
- Hair protection: Applying a heat protectant spray prior to using hair straighteners is essential to prevent burning, as well as using the correct technique for your hair type - read our guide on how to use hair straighteners for comprehensive information.
- Fire protection: It can take up to 40 minutes for hair straighteners to cool down so resting your straighteners on a heat mat could reduce the risk of setting fire to furniture. Forgetting to turn off hot domestic appliances can also cause fires. This risk can be reduced by using a model of straightener with a timer socket which will turn itself off automatically after a certain length of time, you can also add this feature to any basic straighteners by using a timer socket in a power outlet. [11] [12] [15] [16] [17] [18] [AD]
How can I add a safety timer to my existing hair straighteners?
1 in 12 owners of hair straighteners admit to forgetting to turn them off after use, unless your hair straighteners have a built in automatic timer then leaving them on could potentially start a fire. However you can add this functionality to any model even if it doesn't have an integrated timer:
- Add an automatic timer to any hair straighteners by plugging them into a timer socket then plugging the timer into a power outlet.
- Turn on the timer and use the hair straighteners as normal.
- After you have finishing using the hair straighteners turn off the power at the outlet.
- However if you forget to turn the power outlet off then the timer will automatically switch off the straighteners after a pre-set length of time. Depending on the model of timer this could be 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes - ideally pick the shortest length of time possible.
- For added peace of mind use a power outlet splitter to share the outlet from the timer with both your hair straighteners and a lamp. When the timer is running both the straighteners and the lamp will be turned on, making the lamp a clear indicator that the straighteners are still being heated. When leaving a room it is second nature to ensure all lights are turned off, if the lamp is still on then this acts as a reminder to switch off the straighteners.
How to treat a hot iron burn
If you accidentally burn yourself run cold water under your burn and if it is severe it is advised to seek medical attention from a doctor or hospital.
How to use hair straighteners in Belgium using a type C power adapter
Instructions on how to power your hair straighteners in Belgium using a Type C power adapter.
- Please check that the hair straighteners are either dual voltage travel hair straighteners [2] or can work with a 230 volt power supply but if it doesn't then do not proceed because you could create an electrical fire hazard, damage your hair straighteners or blow a fuse. Before using a dual voltage travel straighteners ensure you have set it to accept 230 volts for use in Belgium, please refer to the owners manual for more information on how to do this.
- If the plug on your hair straighteners isn't the same shape as the outlet which is used in Belgium you'll need to bring a Type C plug adapter [4]. The power adapter is designed to adapt plugs on appliances from other countries for an electrical outlet found in Belgium simply by changing the shape of the plug, however it doesn't change the frequency or voltage of your hair straighteners to work with a 230 volt outlet.
- Begin by plugging the Type C plug adapter into the wall outlet. The wall supply, sometimes known as a Type C power outlet [3] or Europlug, is identified by 2 round holes adjacent to each other where the two plug outlet pins go.
- Plug in the hair straighteners into the Type C plug adapter.
- Turn on the Belgian power outlet.
- You can now switch on your straighteners in Belgium.
How to use hair straighteners in Belgium using a type E power adapter
Instructions on how to use your hair straighteners in Belgium by using a Type E power adapter.
- Ensure that your straighteners are either dual voltage travel hair straighteners [2] or is compatible with a 230 volt power outlet; but if not then don't attempt these instructions as you may damage your hair straighteners, blow a fuse or create an electrical fire hazard. Before using a dual voltage travel hair straighteners which can toggle between different voltages make sure you have set it to the 230 volt setting, consult the user guide to find out where the switch is found.
- You will need to use a Type E plug adapter [6] if the shape of the power outlet used in Belgium doesn't accomodate the plug on your hair straighteners. This Type E plug adapter helps convert different plugs from other countries for use with a power outlet used in Belgium by changing the shape of the plug, but the adapter doesn't change the voltage of the hair straighteners to work with a 230 volt supply.
- First plug in the Type E plug adapter into the Belgian power outlet. This circular plug supply, also known as the CEE 7/7 outlet, can be identified by two round holes 19mm adjacent to each other where the two pins go and a long metal earth pin protruding from the top in a triangular pattern.
- Plug in the hair straighteners into the Type E plug adapter.
- Turn on the Belgian power outlet.
- You can now switch on the straighteners in Belgium.

Cedar Grove Day 2
I arrived on Route 20 about 11:45 A.M. Surprisingly the bus went past the Salter Street turnoff from Virginia Beach Boulevard, making a loop of the block before coming in. (Apparently all buses are making a clockwise loop of the block.)
After getting off, I took a quick look at things. There are six shelters, with the buses being funneled between posts along one end of the parking lot. On the far side there were 5 Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) employees looking on. I recognized the ranking one in the group and walked over to say hello. I was told things were "going better than expected." I pointed out that the posts entering the lot were too close, with two buses unable to pass, making a choke point. She agreed.
The Route 23 goes down Princess Anne Road (on the north edge of Cedar Grove), and hadn't gone downtown. However, I spotted the 11:50 A.M. 23 in the conga line at Cedar Grove. That's a plus for me, making it easier to go from downtown to Walmart at Janaf (310 to 23).
The "I wish I had a camcorder" moment: at one point there were 11 forty-foot buses lined up at Cedar Grove. A sight to see.
I caught Route 310 into downtown just before Noon. There were 20 passengers, the driver, and a HRT Staffer on board. The HRT Staffer was both doing head counts and assisting with customer problems. There was some confusion by riders as to exactly where the bus stopped downtown. We learned it was essentially the former downtown loop minus the Charlotte Street stops.
On the 310 leaving downtown around 4:30, I drew the same bus, driver, and Staffer. We had 31 passengers going to Cedar Grove. When I said it would take a week for everyone to adjust, the lady beside me retorted, "Two weeks". The driver wanted combat pay for the 310.
With it being rush hour, the Staffers at Cedar Grove were on the same side of the conga line as the passengers, working both the drivers and riders.
My bus (Route 20) was a mess worthy of a major airport. We boarded. A Supervisor told the driver to circle around and come up in the rear of the conga line. As we reentered, curses went up in the back of the bus. We boarded more people. We were then told to hold on Salter Street until time to leave.
The problem is that buses have time built into the schedule for the downtown loop. Now that buses from the east and north are holding at Cedar Grove, they have 12-15 minutes to kill. It really gets wacky on Route 20, which has an additional 15 minute cushion downtown at rush hour.
There are some obvious points from today's observations:
1. Reschedule the buses going to Cedar Grove to shrink the cushion. If done properly, money can be saved and on-time performance helped at the same time.
2. Widen the posts entering to allow one bus to pass another.
3. Bring in portajohns. Please.
4. In hindsight, the free shuttle (Route 310) makes more sense than extending the NET (Route 17) out. The small buses on the 17 couldn't handle the loads the 310 was carrying.
The bottom line: Cedar Grove can work, but needs some tweaking.

Some may wonder about my use of "conga line".
When a group of buses meet at a DTC at a scheduled time, it's called a "lineup". That's as the buses are literally lined up one behind the other.
Not only were transfers not direct at Charlotte Street, but today's buses were dancing around and lined deeper than normal. Thus I refer to it as a "conga line". "Lineup" would be a misnomer here.

Conga Line? That pretty much describes 9-9:15 this morning when I was transferring from the 6 to the 20.
Yes, portajohns are needed. Badly (for both drivers AND passengers).
Combat Pay on the 310? Sounds like the 310 will be the bottom pick come June Board, given to the rookies.
I agree with that: extending the 17 would be a disaster (25 foot buses would be too small). But why not as an "in addition". Rebrand as Route 317 (for example, how the 19 and 22 will become the 919 and 922 - same run, new number and new bus) with the hybrids. The existing Route 17 directly connects to TCC at NET Stop 7 (College).

"Now, they say Jidenna why you dressing so classic? I don't want my best dressed day in a casket…"
-Jidenna, Long live the Chief
Life is full of paradoxes; no life itself is a bloody paradox. It is called life yet, without reason, they majority of circumstances in which a man finds himself generally contributes to the complete erasure of that man's life.

Sometimes you will see in a tarot reading that many court cards appear in your tarot reading. It could also happen that you just don't know if you can read it as a person or as a situation or message. In this article you will read how you can see if a court card represents a person, situation or message.
When to read a court card as a message
Pages are from origin the messengers. They are inviting people and they are telling the news. The page can been seen as a message. The page of swords for example represents good and bad news because this page is just telling it like it is, no matter how people feel about it. He is honest and to the point. The page of cups represents sweet and innocent news. This tarot card could represent a friendly invitation or a love letter for example. The page of wands could represent an action oriented message or invitation. There could be a party and you are invited for example when this card shows up. When the page of pentacles shows up in your reading it could be news about money or it represents something you learn or will find out if this card shows up in the future position.
When to read a court cards as a person
All court cards represent human characteristics. It actually doesn't matter so much in the beginning of your tarot reading to know if a certain court card represent a particular person or a characteristic. The court cards are all about human behavior. We have all the characteristics of all the court cards. In some situation we might react like the queen of pentacles. For example when a friend needs someone to care for them, the queen of pentacles might show up for you because you are giving them care or shelter. This doesn't mean that you are in any situation respond like the queen of pentacles.
Another example. When the king of swords appears in your tarot reading it could be that this is related to someone who is involved in the question of your tarot reading but it doesn't have to. The court card could also represent your own behavior or as an advice on what behavior will be most in your advance in this situation. When a certain court card appears it isn't so much about them, you need to take a look at the complete tarot reading. This human behavior is an effect on a cause. So don't focus to much on "who is this" but rather understand how this tarot card correspond to the other tarot cards. The king of swords could show because all people who are involved in the situation need to make a decision. So it doesn't have to be one person but about human characteristics in this situation.
When to read a court card as a situation or atmosphere
Knight are from origin the ones who bring the message across through travelling. This news affects a bigger group of people then a message from a page. The message of a page could also have a wider reach but not from the page, so the source itself. The knights are the source of the message but they are travelling around so the message will come across loud and clear. This has an influence on the atmosphere between people and in their situation.
For example the knight of wands brings a heated atmosphere so he could have news that make people enthusiastic or maybe angry when he shows up in reversed. Also being up fo partying could be represented by this energetic night. It is all about putting effort and energy into something but the knight do not have a clear goal yet like the kings and queens have. The knight of cups could bring a romantic atmosphere and brings creativity and dreams to the surface. When the knight of swords shows up the atmosphere can be cold because they are bringing messages that they think people need to know or need to hear which leads to discussion.
All court cards are about human characteristics. The kings and queens are the developed versions of the page and the knights since the pages are the youngest and after that the knights. Check on this website the tarot card meanings of the court cards in the minor arcana library to find out more about each tarot court card card.

The 1985 National League Championship Series was played between the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers from October 9 – 16. It was the first championship series played under the new best-of-seven format. In previous years, the NLCS had been settled by a best-of-five format. This series is best known for Ozzie Smith's dramatic walk-off home run in Game 5.
Dodger announcer Vin Scully and former Cardinal player Joe Garagiola called the games for NBC. Both were announcers on the year-long Game of the Week.
The Cardinals made it to the series by winning 101 games and edging the New York Mets in the National League East. The Dodgers were led by Pedro Guerrero, and their talented pitching staff with a team ERA of 2.96. They beat the Cincinnati Reds by 5 1⁄2 games.
St. Louis won the series, 4–2.
Wednesday, October 9, 1985, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California
The opening contest in Los Angeles pitted Dodgers screwballer Fernando Valenzuela against the Cardinals' twenty one-game winner, John Tudor. The pitchers matched zeroes through the first three innings, but in the bottom of the fourth an error by Terry Pendleton allowed Bill Madlock to reach first. After stealing second, Madlock came home on a Guerrero single to give the Dodgers a 1–0 lead. In the Dodgers' sixth, Madlock struck again when he doubled and then scored on a single by Mike Scioscia. Prior to Scioscia's single, the Cardinals had intentionally walked Guerrero, who later scored on a bunt by Candy Maldonado. A double by Steve Sax scored Maldonado, and Tudor got the hook. Ken Dayley ended the inning with a strikeout of Valenzuela, but the Dodgers had a 4–0 lead en route to a 4–1 victory. The win gave the Dodgers a 1–0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Thursday, October 10, 1985, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California
In Game 2, another Cardinal twenty-game winner, Joaquín Andújar, squared off against the Dodgers' new ace, Orel Hershiser, who had compiled a 19–3 record during the regular season and had not lost at home. After two scoreless innings, the Cardinals scored first when batting champion (and eventual National League MVP) Willie McGee singled, went to second on a walk to Tommy Herr, and scored on a wild pitch by Hershiser to give the Cardinals their first lead of the series. In the bottom of the third, Sax singled for the Dodgers. Andujar had Sax picked off first, but a throwing error allowed him to scamper all the way to third with one out. He then scored on a single by Hershiser, who would score himself on Ken Landreaux's double. The hot-hitting Madlock then singled Landreaux home, giving the Dodgers a 3–1 lead.
In the next inning, Scioscia singled and scored on Greg Brock's two-run homer to give the Dodgers a 5–1 lead. They eventually won, 8–2, for a 2–0 series lead.
Saturday, October 12, 1985, at Busch Stadium (II) in St. Louis, Missouri
In past years, a 2–0 hole would have occasioned a must-win game, but the Cardinals still had a little breathing room due to the best-of-seven nature of the series. They did, however, need a win to get back on track in the series, and they got it with a 4–2 win behind Danny Cox to cut the Dodgers' series lead to 2–1. The Cardinals got roaring quickly when leadoff hitter Vince Coleman singled and stole second. After a walk to McGee, Dodgers starter Bob Welch seemed to have picked Coleman off, but a throwing error, reminiscent of Andújar's in Game 2, scored Coleman and put McGee on third. Herr then walked and promptly stole second to give the Cardinals runners on second and third with nobody out. After an intentional walk to Andy Van Slyke, McGee scored on Terry Pendleton's ground out to give the Cardinals a 2–0 lead.
The next inning, Vince Coleman again singled—and was again picked off base, only to advance to third on a throwing error. McGee singled Coleman home and was promptly caught stealing. Herr followed up with a homer to give the Cardinals a 4–0 lead in the second. The game was for all purposes over. The Dodgers scored single runs in the fourth on back-to-back doubles by Pedro Guerrero and Mike Marshall and in the seventh when Enos Cabell scored on Ken Landreaux's one-out single. Danny Cox got the win and Ken Dayley got the save with Bob Welch the losing pitcher. The victory cut the Dodger lead to two games to one.
Sunday, October 13, 1985, at Busch Stadium (II) in St. Louis, Missouri
The most important event of Game 4 occurred over two hours before the first pitch was thrown. Rainy conditions in St. Louis mandated deployment of the protective tarpaulin. The tarp in Busch Stadium was automated and came out of the ground. Standing next to it was Cardinal rookie Vince Coleman, the catalyst in the Cardinals' Game 3 win. Coleman was trapped under the tarp and several players had to lift the tarp so Coleman could escape. But the damage was done: Coleman suffered a broken ankle and would miss the rest of the 1985 postseason. The question entering the fourth game was whether the Cards could win with their catalyst on the bench. And the resounding answer from Game 4 was "No problem!"
The pitching matchup for this game was the Cardinals' Tudor against Jerry Reuss for the Dodgers. In the first, both pitchers allowed no hits, and Tudor continued his mastery in the top half of the second. But the bottom of the second saw the floodgates open on Reuss. Three straight singles by Jack Clark, Tito Landrum (Coleman's replacement) and César Cedeño gave the Cardinals a 1–0 lead. Back-up catcher Tom Nieto, starting his first game in the series, walked after a Pendleton ground out scored Cedeño. With the score 2–0 and runners at first and third, Tudor tried a squeeze play that worked beyond the Cardinals' dreams. A throwing error by Reuss put the Cards up, 3–0, and sent Nieto to second with Tudor on first. McGee's hit lined out to Mike Marshall in right, moving Nieto to third. With two outs, Ozzie Smith hit an infield single to the shortstop that scored Nieto, and when Herr followed with his own single, Reuss departed in a 5–0 hole.
Rick Honeycutt came in to put out the fire, but Clark's single scored Smith. Cedeno's walk loaded the bases, and an infield single by Landrum made it 7–0 with the bases still loaded. Pendleton then singled to score both Clark and Cedeño, and Tudor had a nine-run lead. Honeycutt was pulled in favor of Bobby Castillo, who struck out Tom Nieto to end the inning.
At this point, the game was effectively over. Madlock homered off Tudor in the seventh, the only run he permitted, but by that point the Dodgers were trailing 11–1 en route to a 12–2 loss that tied the series at two wins apiece. Tudor went seven innings for the win while Castillo hung around until the ninth.
In past years, this would set the stage for the clinching Game 5, but the new format gave leeway to each team's pitching arrangement.
Monday, October 14, 1985, at Busch Stadium (II) in St. Louis, Missouri
High drama unfolded when the Dodgers and Cardinals met for Game 5 tied at two victories apiece. The Dodgers sent Valenzuela for his second start of the series against the Cardinals' number four starter, Bob Forsch. Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog felt comfortable starting Forsch to give extra rest to his pair of twenty-game winners, Andujar and Tudor. Prior to the game, Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda declared, "If they can beat Valenzuela and Hershiser, then we're not as good as we thought." Dodger/NBC announcer Vin Scully repeated this several times during the broadcasts of Games 5 and 6.
As in Games 3 and 4, the Cardinals got the ball rolling quickly. McGee and Smith led off with walks, and then Herr doubled, scoring both runners. At second with nobody out, the Dodgers—for the fifth time in the series—picked a runner off base, Herr in this case, only to see him advance on a throwing error by Valenzuela. With Herr at third and nobody out, Valenzuela masterfully got out of the jam with no further damage, and the Cardinals led, 2–0.
In the fourth inning, Landreaux singled and Madlock homered for the second time in the series to tie the game at two. Ken Dayley replaced Forsch and got out of a two on and nobody out jam. And that ended the scoring until the ninth.
Tom Niedenfuer came in to hold the Cardinals at bay in the ninth. After inducing McGee to pop up to third, Ozzie Smith came to bat from the left side of the plate. Never before in his career had Smith homered from the left side—until now. He golfed a Niedenfuer fastball down the right field line and over the fence for a home run, ending Game 5 as a 3–2 Cardinal victory. The ball hit the front facing of the lower deck and bounded back onto the field, but it was clearly above the home run line and Smith scored the winning run. Reliever Jeff Lahti got the win and Niedenfuer took the loss. The home run was voted the greatest moment in the history of Busch Stadium in 2005, and was the source of Jack Buck's famous call "Go crazy, folks, go crazy".
This was the game where a fan blew water from the top of the visitors dugout into the eyes of Steve Sax as he came back after making an out. Sax attempted to enter the stands and was halted by security. Sax later pointed out that the water was mixed with beer and hurt him. The fan was evicted by security with no further incident.
Wednesday, October 16, 1985, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California
The St. Louis Cardinals won their second National League title in four years by beating the Dodgers, 7–5, in what many consider to be one of the most exciting playoff games ever played. The Dodgers returned to Los Angeles trailing three games to two, but comfortable knowing the last two games would be played in Chavez Ravine. For Game 6, it was Hershiser for the Dodgers against Andujar for St. Louis.
Unlike the previous three games, it was the Dodgers and not the Cardinals who got the scoring started quickly when Mariano Duncan's double and Madlock's single put the Dodgers ahead, 1–0. An inning later, a walk to Greg Brock and singles by Hershiser and Duncan scored Brock to give the Dodgers a 2–0 lead.
Both pitchers helped themselves with hits. After Hershiser's single in the second, Andújar led off the third with a double off the wall and scored on Herr's single to cut the lead to 2–1. But Andújar hurt himself with a throwing error in the fifth that put Duncan on base. Duncan promptly stole second and went to third on a ground out by Landreaux. He then scored on Pedro Guerrero's deep fly to center field. Madlock homered for the third time in the series, and the Dodgers led, 4–1.
In the top of the seventh, Darrell Porter singled, as did Tito Landrum. Steve Braun pinch-hit for Andújar and grounded out, but moved the runners to second and third. McGee's single then plated both runners, leading Tommy Lasorda to call on reliever Tom Niedenfuer. Niedenfuer's last pitch had landed in the seats to end Game 5, and the first batter he faced was the same—Ozzie Smith. Ozzie drilled a triple that just barely missed being a second left-handed homer, but Niedenfuer struck out Jack Clark on three fastballs to end the threat. But the Cardinals had now tied the game at four.
In the bottom of the eighth, Mike Marshall lifted a towering fly ball to right off of Todd Worrell. It looked like a routine out, but the wind carried the ball just out of the reach of Andy Van Slyke and behind the wall for a home run. The Dodgers were now just three outs from forcing Game 7.
In the ninth, Niedenfuer struck out César Cedeño, but McGee singled and stole second. With Ozzie Smith's prior success against Niedenfuer—a homer and triple in his last two at-bats—the Dodgers walked Smith and induced a ground out from Tommy Herr. With runners at second and third and two out, the obvious question faced Lasorda: "do you walk Clark to the open first base or do you pitch to him?" Niedenfuer had struck out Clark in the seventh. By contrast, the next two hitters in the Cardinal line-up, Van Slyke and Pendleton, were having miserable series. But Lasorda opted to pitch to Clark, and he drilled Niedenfuer's first fastball 450 feet into the left field stands for a pennant-winning home run. Demoralized, the Dodgers went down in order in the bottom of the ninth, with Pedro Guerrero popping up for the final out.
The Cardinals had won and would eventually lose in 7 games to the Kansas City Royals in the World Series.

An atheist cannot be spiritual. But you must understand that even a theist cannot be spiritual. Because an atheist and a theist are not different. One believes there is God, another believes there is no God. Both of them are believing something that they do not know. You are not sincere enough to admit that you do not know, that's your problem. So theists and atheists are not different.

"ESA is proud to continue hosting the E3 College Game Competition, and its important mission of providing a spotlight for the rising game design talent that will influence the future of our industry."
This year's competition will target almost 400 U.S. colleges, universities, art and trade schools offering video game courses, certificates and degree programs. Last year's competition ended with a tie between the University of Wisconsin-Stout's Flash Frozen and Savannah College of Art and Design's Lost in Thought.
"The E3 College Game Competition was an amazing experience for our students. It allowed our students to get an insider's view of the game industry and make many valuable connections within the industry," said Diane Christie, game design and development program director at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. "The showcase provided our students with a unique opportunity to have their game exposed to a large number of people and the feedback they received from game industry veterans and media professionals was invaluable."
"For many years, E3 has been a legendary expo where heavyweight AAA game studios showcase their best projects. It was an honor to be a winner of its first college game competition in 2013," said Tony Tseng, professor of interactive design and game development at Savannah College of Art and Design. "Our faculty and students were thrilled to be a part of this fascinating expo and showcase the game our students produced at SCAD. It was exciting to demo our game alongside the world's top game development studios. The game industry is changing and the demand for indie games grows each year. By incorporating this college game competition into E3, and by bringing that indie student spirit to the expo, the ESA once again demonstrates a clear understanding of the latest trends in the industry."

The most common stupid Americans are strange and mindless creatures called rednecks, from the southern states. Americans have a tendency to enjoy the casual fun of Transformers pornography too. One of the most famous lines is "I didn't know that output could be an input!" --Decepticons. This fascination with Transformers starts at an early age, especially in males, tomboys, and lesbians. Children are often given Transformer toys to play with, which helps develop their love for Transformer porn and cars. Other common forms of sexual enjoyment among younger Americans include, but are not limited to, kitty on kitten porn (generally associated with too much kitten huffing), male giraffe riding, naked women, and molesting bartenders.

jpollock:ZiglioNZ: I hope TelstraClear will offer the option of not having Sky Channels.
How much would the monthly subscription for the TV service be without Sky? $10?
Isn't that just freeview? :)
My question is: do they want to compete with Telecom or with Sky?
I wouldn't pay $50/month more to watch Sky but I would probably pay $10 to have access to uncapped on-demad content

We all love our slow cookers, right? I mean, what's not to love??! You plunk ingredients into the vessel and walk away. The slow cooker does all the work! You only have to walk in tired from a day at work and smell the delicious aroma of supper ready & waiting to serve! Yeah, we love our slow cookers here at the Homestead, and we use them a lot. Oftentimes for preparing our supper.
Sometimes I use it for overnight cooking when making Homemade Applesauce or simmering bones for a delicious Homemade Broth. I know a slow cooker is more energy efficient than using the oven or even the stove top in many cases. But I've found a way to speed along the cooking times while keeping it on set to an energy-sipping 'Low'. Check out today's Homestead Hack.
No matter what I'm cooking I want that slow cooker to do its job with the least amount of time & purchased energy possible. Whether my slow cooker uses a glass lid or one of those plasticy-looking ones, insulating that top will help my slow cooker work more efficiently. And it oftentimes cuts the cooking time drastically, even though the dial is set to 'Low'
What's this big secret? Lean closer. (shhhhh….)
I simply lay a clean kitchen towel over the top.
Easy? Yes.
Simple? Yes.
WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT BEFORE?? Perhaps!
Give it a try next time you're running a little short on time in preparing your next slow-cooker meal – you'll be amazed at how quickly it'll cook.

Ever since the pictures of Ranbir Kapoor playing Sanjay Dutt in a biopic came out, fans couldn't help but wonder about the uncanny resemblance between the two. Ever since then, there has been a lot of craze amongst fans to know more about the film and Ranbir's character who has given his heart and soul to the character. Right from looking like Sanjay Dutt to walking and promising every small detail about the star, Ranbir has truly left no stones unturned.
Talking about the film, Sanjay Dutt admitted that he feels honoured to have a film made on him and his life. Speaking about the same, Sanjay told in one of his media interactions, "I'm lucky and humbled that they are making a biopic on a guy who is still alive. Ranbir has done a fantastic job, there is nobody better than Rajkumar Hirani."
Earlier when Ranbir was asked about his experience of working on the project, he said, "We worked really hard at it, doing four months of prosthetic (make-up) trials, lots of disappointments, thinking that it's not going to work out. But you need to put in that time and effort. It's a daunting task to play someone like Sanjay Dutt, who everybody knows anyway."
He also added, "It was surreal for me. You're acting like him, and the director calls cut, you look up, and suddenly there's Sanjay Dutt actually sitting behind the monitor! But then I'd got so obsessed with him. Every time I'd see him, I'd start observing him like a hawk — the way he scratches his beard, twitches his eye, drinks water, hugs… It'd become a bit of a sickness for me. But that obsession is necessary for acting, or any form of art — that madness to get something right. You may still fall flat on your face, but it's necessary."
Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the Dutt biopic is expected to release in March 2018.

Chanting mantras works directly on all types of karma, helping us to overcome what may have been created inadvertently in this life or perhaps a past life. We are able to heal various physical, emotional and spiritual conditions that we bring into this life as part of our karmic inheritance. Everyone can benefit from the use of mantras to energize both our chakras and our mind, body and spirits.
The process of chanting these ancient formulas works in the everyday world even if we don't understand what we are saying because at the end of the day mantras are all about energy rather than a specific meaning.
Chanting mantras, particularly Sanskrit mantras both stimulates and energizes the chakras allowing them to send out more energy to our physical body, in addition to this, Karma is also being worked off. The vibrations produced by chanting begins to alter our inner conditions physically and spiritually and helps to break down energy patterns stored in the body. This can be anything from subconscious habits or a predisposition to karmic mishaps. In most cases this relates to Prarabdha Karma – karma accumulated through past actions but that we are working through in this lifetime but it is also possible to "work off" Sanchita karma from past lifetimes also.
Mantra can also be used for energizing prana or your life energy. Healing is possible by concentrating prana on specific organs. When chanting a particular mantra and visualizing a particular organ bathed in a beautiful light the power of the mantra can be concentrated in that organ with great effect and healing benefits. The visualisation of the organ acts as the intent, focusing and directing the energy produced by the mantra.
There are so many benefits to the practice of mantra and also just another way to incorporate your malas into your daily practice.

Autumn is the best time of the year and Saturday was a perfect example why. 117 motivated people, plus the all important volunteers, out doing what they love on a Saturday morning. It was one of those days when you feel like Forrest Gump. You get to the turn around cone and just want to keep going and run all day. Or maybe that only happens in the movies.
Some great results, a few first timers, and 15 people achieved PB's. Fantastic. No international visitors, I wonder why?
If you are a regular visitor to the website, and I'm sure its not just me who studies the results every week, you will have noticed the now familiar red banner with the Covid 19 updates. Parkrun has already been cancelled in 15 countries, the latest update will come through on Thursday our time, so there is a possibility of an indefinite cancellation at some stage.
But for now, lets enjoy the beautiful autumn weather ( 24 degrees Monday, 14 degrees Tuesday. Brrrrr ) and look forward to another cracking day and a great run on Saturday.

Velocity Raptor
It's like Jurassic Park meets Sonic, except way better.
Velocity Raptor is a fun little flash game designed to teach kids about the theory of special relatively. What happens if you get closer to traveling the speed of light, what you see, how it works, all that good stuff.
Now it's not just one of those terrible old "educational games", no. It's actually really fun to play, and a bit challenging at times even. I think Test Tube Games did a great job of putting a complicated concept into a simple game, targeted at an even simpler audience. (No offense, kiddos.)
I strongly recommend you go and check it out here. It's fun to play, and it may clear some things up if you (like me) still don't grasp some parts of special relativity.
I'll be cutting the post short here. A busy fun-filled weekend is surrounding me, so there isn't all that much time for post-writing. Thought I'd share this real quick though.
Have fun!

How To Get Emancipated In Colorado
Emancipation is a legal change when a person is lawfully considered an adult in certain ways. When a minor is emancipated, it means they are free from parental guardianship and are fully responsible for supporting themselves. In Colorado, the age of majority – or the age at which a person is considered an adult – is 18, but emancipation can 'grant' legal adulthood before this age.
Colorado has no particular emancipation law, but its courts have the discretion to emancipate a child under specific conditions. If you are a minor who wishes to be emancipated, or if you are a parent who believes that your child is up for emancipation, here is an overview of how the process works.
How A Minor Is Emancipated In CO
A minor can get automatically emancipated if they get legally married or if they join the military. However, each of these actions requires the consent of the parents or guardians.
If you wish to be emancipated without needing parental consent, you may go to your city's family court and file a petition for emancipation. To be able to do this, you must meet certain requirements.
First, you must be a Colorado resident and at least 15 years old. Also, be prepared to show that you are not living with your parents anymore and that you are employed or able to financially support yourself. The court may ask for proof of income, confirmation from your employer, and the like.
After you have filed a petition, you will have to attend a hearing where you must establish that you are able to live independently. Further, it is crucial to demonstrate that you have full understanding of what emancipation means and what kind of impact it will have in your life. The judge will grant emancipation only when they see that it is in your best interests.
How A Person's Independence Affects Child Support
Parents or guardians of emancipated persons are no longer obligated to financially support them. This also means that child support payments from a divorced parent can stop, even when the child is not yet 18.
Conversely, there are cases where a child's independence is delayed and thus, the parents' financial obligation is extended. One example is if the child is still trying to obtain a high school diploma past the age of 18. In this situation, the court may extend a parent's child support timeframe until the child turns 21 or graduates from high school.
Other possible reasons for extending child support include disability or handicap of the child and the parents' mutual agreement to continue the payments.
Financial and legal independence is a major factor in deciding the trajectory of one's life. Emancipation opens up many opportunities but also creates crucial responsibilities. For a child eager to enter adulthood, this decision should be considered very carefully. And for a loving parent, it's important to be prepared for their child's decision regarding their independence. It would be wise for both parties to have the guidance of a family law professional in approaching this decision.

The summer holidays have barely even started but there's a good chance the kids are bored already. Thankfully, Virgin Trains have a competition to keep your children entertained for at least an afternoon.
Virgin Trains is asking children aged five to twelve to get creative and reimagine train travel by drawing their dream train journey, and one lucky winner will have the chance to see their artistic creations turned into a real-life toy.
Inspired by the new Virgin Trains TV ad, the competition is calling for children to take their vision of the perfect train journey to the extremes.
Virgin Trains already offer speed, Wi-Fi, snacks and movies but what if there was a swimming pool onboard or a video arcade? What if all the other passengers were cute puppies?
With the Train Jotting competition, your children can let their imaginations run wild. To enter, all they have to do is draw a picture illustrating their perfect train journey and upload it to the Virgin Trains website.
Television presenter and podcaster Cherry Healey will be helping Virgin Trains to pick the winner. As a mother of two, Healey's a huge fan of encouraging creativity at home.
"Having kids myself, I know how vivid a child's imagination can be," she says. "This competition is a fantastic way to get young people interested in train travel whilst also getting their creative juices flowing.
"There are certainly a few things that would complete my dream train journey – a play area carriage complete with a ball pit for the kids would be a brilliant idea. I also wouldn't mind an onboard spa where I could get a massage while the train gently glides towards my destination."
As well as having their design turned into a real-life model for them to take away, the lucky winner will also get the opportunity to take part in Virgin Trains' Rookie Academy.
This is a one-day experience that takes children behind the scenes at Virgin Trains. They'll learn how to dispatch a train, make a station announcement and even get the chance to meet a driver in the cab of the train.
The competition will close on Sunday, 11 August. Visit Virgin Trains to find out more.
