On December 5 at its gala dinner, The Nation Institute awarded playwright and screenwriter (and Nation editorial board member) Tony Kushner its annual $100,000 Puffin/Nation Prize for Creative Citizenship "for a lifetime of artistic work giving voice to the marginalized, and his outspoken criticism of social injustice." What follows is Kushner's acceptance speech.
I was very much hoping that the Puffin Prize would be accompanied by a puffin of some sort. Not a live, caged puffin—that would entail responsibilities, bird dander and guilt, and I gather that puffins, though silent when flying over water, are champion vocalizers on land, and anyway a caged puffin would send the wrong sort of message. And I wasn't hoping for a stuffed puffin. God forbid, that would send an even worse message, since puffins are struggling to avoid the fate of their cousins, the great auks. This is something puffins and people have in common, being haunted by the fate of the now-extinct great auk. Skim through any day's newspaper or pay even slight attention to our roller-coaster climate of recent years, and you're bound to feel slightly great auk–ish; you're aware of life on earth tilting in a great auk–ward direction. So I wasn't hoping for a stuffed puffin—even though it's fun to say "stuffed puffin." We're Americans, not Icelanders who pull puffins right out of the sky with big nets and in whose diet puffin meat figures importantly, who refuse to protect the birds and who eat puffin hearts raw. It's a big Icelandic delicacy, raw puffin heart, or so I am told, and I wouldn't put it past them; they are very interesting people.
I suppose I was hoping for a small painted effigy of a puffin to keep on my desk; they're very handsome birds, and they have a wonderfully silly name. Since it was announced that I was this year's recipient of the prize, I've noticed how much people enjoy writing and saying "Puffin Prize" and working variations of the theme. I'm currently working on a film, down in Richmond, Virginia, and yesterday, on the set, our cinematographer called out, "Hey, congratulations on the prize! So what have you been puffin'?" It's a very good idea to name a prize after a bird with a silly name; all prizes should have silly names or something pleasantly ridiculous attached to them, as an antidote to self-seriousness. If you decide to establish another prize, perhaps you'll consider calling it the Great Auk Award. Who wouldn't want to win that?
I have always striven to cultivate inside myself a determined, unappeasable resistance to deriving pleasure from receiving honors and winning awards. It's weird, because I love receiving and winning them, and I secretly hate everyone who wins an award instead of me, even people who win awards for things I'm entirely out of the running for—the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, for example. I have it out for Dan Schechtman, the discoverer of quasicrystals and recipient of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. "Hate" is too strong a word, really, but I am bummed out for a few humiliating microseconds of incomprehensible envy. It's so nice to win awards, why wouldn't you want to win one every day? And how nice to win one for chemistry, even if you're innumerate and haven't the slightest idea why observations of quasicrystals have produced a fundamental shift in our concepts of atomic structure, or even what's quasi about them. Perhaps it's because it's so nice that I'm so mistrustful of awards; anything this nice must be terrible for you, or so my lived experience to the age of 55 has led me to conclude.
I was as surprised to be named as recipient of an award for creative citizenship as I would have been to be named a Nobel Prize–winning chemist. I know a bit more about citizenship than about quasicrystals, but that doesn't mean I've ever felt I'm a prize-worthy citizen; far from it. That this is not merely an award for citizenship, but for creative citizenship, makes me feel like an ice skater who's just managed to circumnavigate the rink for one complete revolution without holding on to the railing, breaking an ankle or falling on his ass, learning that he's made the Olympic team. I really can't pull off sports analogies convincingly, but you get the point.

Oh dear, well that last post caused a bit of a reaction. My sister thinks I need medical help. She reckons I'm too up and down – one day I'm high as a kite and the next I'm in the depths of despair – and that it's not healthy. Friends are worried too. On Friday I got a lot of concerned messages: 'Are you OK? I'm here if you need to talk.'
I'm obviously coming off even nuttier than I realise.
It's a bit embarrassing really but what can I do? I'm just trying to articulate my feelings honestly – including the bad ones – but I fear a picture is developing of my mental health and it ain't pretty. More Jackson Pollock than a Vogue photo shoot.
It's probably clearer to you than it is to me, just how much my mood goes up and down. One minute I'm crying with the beauty of squirrels the next I'm crying over decades old family crap. This is partly down to the intensity of what I'm doing this year but also, it is my natural tendency.

This trip combines some of the best cycling routes in Vietnam with time to explore the country with its long coastline of sandy beaches, shimmering paddy fields and mountains cloaked in forests. Travel from the vibrant streets of Saigon to the more conservative capital Hanoi. There is time to relax in the lively beachside town of Nha Trang before a cruise around the incredible seascape of Halong Bay.
Back to Vietnam Tours
Enjoy cycling through the ever-changing landscapes of Vietnam with like-minded travellers.
Visit small fishing villages; relax on white sand beaches and enjoy rides along coastal cliff roads.
Spend time at some of Vietnam's must see places including the breathtaking Halong Bay and historic Hoi An.
View All Days
Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), formerly known as Saigon, is an exciting and absorbing city where bicycles battle with lorries and temples stand defiantly alongside modern developments. Devastated by the Vietnam War, Saigon is now a bustling free market city where anything goes. The Ben Thanh Market and Notre Dame Cathedral are within easy walking distance from your hotel and are highly recommended.
This morning drive out of the city, before riding to the Cu Chi Tunnels. This offers a great introduction to cycling in Vietnam and a chance to fine-tune the bikes. The tunnels were Viet Cong sanctuaries, used by the guerrillas as living quarters and escape routes, the network covers 3 levels and approximately 240 kms of tunnels. Although originally very narrow, some parts have been widened for tourists, but even so it is still necessary to crawl on hands and knees. Claustrophobes may prefer to stay outside in the sunshine! If you prefer not to visit the tunnels you can have an unguided free day in Saigon. Places of interest include: the Emperor of Jade and Giac Lam pagodas, the former Presidential Palace (now the Reunification Hall), Ben Thanh market and the War Remnants Museum. Ride approx. 35 km.
After an early breakfast head out of Saigon by bus and start your cycling towards Mui Ne on the coast. You will spend approx 4-5 hours on the bus today. Then hit the backroads and head through tropical fruit and rubber plantations, also passing some small fishing villages as you make your way closer to the coast. Finish the ride in Mui Ne, a tranquil white sand beach where you can enjoy a swim after the day's riding and witness our first sunset over the South China Sea. Ride approx. 50 km.
Cycle towards Dalat; the route is undulating with occasional climbs. Along the way pass coffee and tea plantations, as well as flower gardens and pine forests as you reach higher altitude. Rejoin the bus before the road climbs steeply to the mountain town of Dalat. You will spend approx 3.5 hours on the bus today. Dalat is a pleasant hill station, formerly known as Le Petit Paris, and has been described as the most beautiful town in Vietnam. It was favoured by the French for its climate, and is now a popular honeymoon resort for the Vietnamese. Ride approx. 60 km.
Today's ride is predominantly downhill through pine forests and paddy fields as you descend nearly 1500m travelling through the Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park. This area is home to rare pine forests as well as small villages inhabited by the ethnic minority people of the central highlands. Once you arrive at the coast, head by bus (approx 1.5 hours) to Nha Trang. This beachside town is idyllic, with swaying palms, golden sands and the beautiful deep blue water of the South China Sea. Ride up to 100km according to preference.
Having a rest from the bikes today, take a boat trip around the islands offering a chance to swim and snorkel around the many reefs. This is a wonderful experience with stunning views of the mountainous coastline that lies to the north of Nha Trang and an opportunity to eat some of the freshest seafood available. Those not fancying the boat trip can relax on the beach, have a massage, go scuba diving or ride off to other nearby beaches such as Hon Chong, a fishing village lined with coconut palms, mango and banana plantations.
Set off early in the morning for the ride to the beautiful fishing village of Dai Lanh. A short transfer out of town past the Po Nagar Cham towers brings you to a high point and from here today's ride is predominantly flat. The beautiful beach at Dai Lanh is a perfect place to stop for a swim and lunch before continuing by bus around the spectacular coastal cliff road towards the town of Tuy Hoa and on to Quy Nhon. (Approx 4 hours in the bus today). Ride up to 90 km according to preference.
Leaving Quy Nhon travel through a new economic zone over the Thi Nai Peninsula and Nhon Hoi Bridge, the longest sea bridge in Vietnam. Getting off your bikes visit a market, where its not unusual to be pulled aside for a photo as this part of the country does not see many western tourists. The coast line features secluded bays, sand dunes and beaches with colourful fishing boats bobbing on the South China Sea. Cycle until you arrive at Phu Ly and then drive to Hoi An. If time permits, cycle the last 12 km once you turn off Highway 1 into Hoi An. Hoi An, the original European trading port in Vietnam dating back to the mid-sixteenth century is now a living museum, with attractive wooden merchant's houses and pagoda-style temples with Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and European architectural influences. It is also a marvellous place to wander around and enjoy the thriving riverside market. Spend two nights in Hoi An which is also a fantastic place to buy local art or have some clothes tailor-made for you. It's best to bring a picture or a sample of what you want made. Approx 6 hour in the bus today. Ride approx. 50 km.
This morning take a guided walking tour of Hoi An to explore some of the structures of historical significance in the Old Town, including bridges, temples, wells and houses. Those less interested in architecture can cycle the 5km to the lovely Cua Dai beach or cycle to the Marble Mountains, which are 19 km from town. These five marble hills, formerly islands, contain many caves, some of which were used as Buddhist (and Vietcong) sanctuaries. Also nearby is China beach, a famous US R&R spot in the war, and Danang where there is a Cham Museum, which despite being in poor condition, is very interesting. It is also possible to visit My Son, one of the most important Cham temple sites in Vietnam, where Cham kings were buried as early as the fourth century. Although wartime bombing has destroyed much of the site, there are a number of interesting stone towers and sanctuaries.
Today turn north again for the drive/cycle to Hue. The route passes over the spectacular Hai Van Pass the 'Pass of the Ocean Clouds'. The views are stunning though those who prefer to avoid the 580m climb can always take a lift in the support vehicle. Once at the top it will all seem worth it as you plummet back to the ocean, then continue through small villages and timeless rural scenes to the outskirts of Hue, from where you transfer to your city centre hotel. Approx 2.5 hours in the bus today. Ride approx. 80 km.
Hue claims to be the cultural and historic centre of Vietnam, and there is plenty to see. Take a guided tour of the city and surrounding tombs. The most memorable site is the citadel, with walls six miles in length: inside are the palaces and halls of the Mandarins, and the remains of the Forbidden Purple City, where only the emperor and his eunuchs and concubines were allowed. Then take a boat along the Perfume River to the elaborate tombs of the Nguyen emperors, who ruled Vietnam from Hue. Tu Duc's Tomb is very elaborate and set in beautiful gardens, along the way visit the famous Thien Mu Pagoda. The pagoda was a centre for anti-government protest in the early 1960s and it houses the Austin car that transported a monk, Thich Quang Duc, to Saigon in 1963 where he burned himself as a protest against the president. The photograph of his self-immolation was printed in newspapers all around the world. In the afternoon board the Reunification Express for the overnight ride to Hanoi, 600km to the north. Ride approx. 25 km.
Arrive in Hanoi in the early morning and stop for a local breakfast and a stretch of the legs, before you are met by your bus for an approximately 4 hour drive to Halong Bay. This is one of the most stunningly beautiful sights in South East Asia with around 3000 limestone peaks rising directly from the clear emerald sea. Cruise amongst this amazing karst scenery, stopping to swim and kayak in the sea, allowing you to get to places inaccessible by boat (weather permitting) and enjoy a seafood lunch on board.
Continue to cruise around Halong Bay this morning before returning to port. Then drive back to Hanoi, and take a sightseeing tour of the city: this will include visits to the Temple of Literature, Hoa Lo Prison and the Old Quarter of the city. This charming city contains many beautiful old buildings, and the atmosphere is completely different from that in Saigon in the south, mainly due to the much more conservative nature of the North Vietnamese. Also, unlike its industrial counterpart, the centre of Hanoi has a faded charm with broad tree-lined avenues dating from the French period as well as some attractive lakes and pagodas. In the evening there is the option to enjoy a performance of Hanoi's famous water puppets.
Your journey ends after breakfast in Hanoi.

Prussic Acid Considerations for Sorghum & Sudangrass Crops
By Dan Martens, University of Minnesota Extension
FOLEY, Minn. (10/04/17) —A couple of low temperature reports for October 10 include 25 in Little Falls and 27-28 in St. Cloud. Frost varies across the landscape, but this cold snap will probably give most of the corn and soybeans that weren't ripe yet a reason to give up on the growing season.
For late planted crops and summer planted cover crops, there may be sorghum and sudangrass growers who have questions about prussic acid issues following a frost. Here are some key points:
Sorghum and sudangrass crops, under normal conditions should be 18 inches tall before grazing or green chopping to prevent prussic acid toxicity. Forage sorghums may not be safe for grazing or green chopping until after they are headed. All sorghums should be safe when harvested as dry hay. Wisconsin Extension Forage Specialist Dan Undersander writes that sorghum and sorghum-sudangrass "silage" is generally safe for feeding. It may contain harmful levels of prussic acid when harvested, but much of the prussic acid is expected to dissipate during fermentation. As a precaution, do not feed new silage from these crops for at least 3 weeks after harvest. Always transition to new feed gradually.
AFTER A FROST. After light frost, allow 7 to 10 days before grazing or green chopping. After a killing frost, wait until the plant has dried – approximately 7 days for grazing or green chopping. Do not graze "hungry" cattle on sorghum and sudangrass crops. Providing other feed before grazing reduces grazing consumption and risk. Watch for new shoots after any frost. Tender new shoots, like young plants, have more risk for prussic acid toxicity.
Prussic acid toxicity prevents animals from absorbing oxygen from the blood. Pink tissues will be brighter pink because of higher oxygen concentration in the blood. Cattle will behave like they are short of oxygen – heavy breathing, weak, tired, muscle trembling.
You might also talk with your veterinarian or nutrition advisor about feed issues.

A solar outburst, called a coronal mass ejection, paired with a high-speed particle blast from a recent coronal hole may liven the sky with auroras both Tuesday and Wednesday nights (May 16-17). Things will get off to a gentle start tomorrow beginning around nightfall when a minor G1 geomagnetic storm is expected to commence. Typically, the aurora gradually intensifies the closer to midnight (1 a.m. Daylight Time) when the auroral oval, the permanent doughnut ring of aurora centered over Earth's magnetic pole, sags furthest south.
I would expect that Canada and the tops of the northern states might see tomorrow night's activity. But it's Wednesday night (May 17) that has my heart beating faster. Well, a little faster. You know how forecasts are. That evening, we're expecting a G2 or moderate storm during the same time period. G2 storms can make for lots of excitement in the northern states and even reach down further into the Midwest and Northeast. The last moderate storm occurred on April 22. It was a beauty with a low bright arc and a fine explosion of rays and pillars.
(Update Mon. night: Great news! The latest forecast upgraded Tuesday's storm to G2 or moderate.)
Besides a reasonably dark sky and a northern location, the other key to a successful aurora hunt is patience. If you see a low arc or glow, periodically check it for activity. Is it getting brighter? Higher? Are faint rays starting to form? If you sense that the aurora is intensifying, however little, stick with it. Go on a vigil the way you'd queue up early to see a long-anticipated movie. You may lose some sleep but know there's a bounty of zzzzzzzzs waiting for you the next cloudy night.
OK … now we wait.

(MAR) Marriott Adds JW Marriott in Mexico
In order to further ramp up its presence in Mexico, JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts brand, one of the world class luxury brands of Marriott International, Inc. (MAR), recently struck a deal with Operadora Punta Peninsula, S.A. de C.V., and ownership group Grupo Diestra to unveil a 'JW Marriott Los Cabos' hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico in 2015. This property highlights the fourth hotel of the JW Marriott brand in Mexico.
Situated within the Puerto Los Cabos master-planned development and in close proximity with the Los Cabos International Airport, which is Mexico's seventh busiest airport, the new hotel will offer 300 guest rooms and suites along with several other amenities and will enjoy a prime location. Moreover, the site of the hotel is also attractive with 14 acres overlooking the Sea of Cortez and exposure to 820 feet of beach front, which will further drive tourists.
Marriott's expansion plan in Mexico is mainly driven by strong economic growth and a large tourism industry. In Mexico, the brand is present in an upscale Polanco neighborhood and in Santa Fe and Cancun city.
The country is the number one destination for foreign tourists in Latin America. As per World Travel & Tourism Council, the total contribution of travel & tourism to gross domestic product (GDP) was 12.4% of GDP in 2011, and is forecast to rise by 3.3% in 2012, and to rise by 4.5% in 2022.
Moreover, the middle income population in Mexico is growing. This fraction of the population also has an inclination to spend on travel and leisure. Apart from tourism, the region is successfully emerging as a business hub. Additionally, a long-standing presence in this country allows Marriott to have a stable relationship with owners and developers across the country.
According to renowned consulting firm specializing in real estate, Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), the hotel market in Mexico is showing strong growth, following a steep decline in 2009 and lackluster performance for a part of 2010. Strong demand with limited supply provides robust growth opportunities to hoteliers over the next several years. Mexico City's average daily rate (ADR) is expected to accelerate further in 2012 and beyond.
Marriott currently operates 52 JW Marriott hotels in 21 countries and remains on track to open 77 JW Marriott properties in 28 countries by 2014. The JW Marriott brand consists of luxurious properties and distinctive resort locations across the world. The brand, which mainly has hotels in international locations, also has properties in major U.S. states like California, Texas and Arizona.
However, the market is not free from competition. Many of Marriott's peers like Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. (HOT), InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) and Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H) are present in Mexico. Furthermore, a sluggish macroeconomic environment acts as another short-term restraint.
The company is likely to release its third quarter 2012 earnings on October 3, 2012. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the third quarter is pegged at 40 cents per share. We presently have a long-term Neutral recommendation on Marriott. Also, it carries a Zacks #4 Rank (a short-term Sell rating).

Along with the phrases "alternate truth" and "fake news," another phrase, even more ominous, is being bandied about, "net neutrality." Net neutrality means internet freedom. It means that everyone has equal access to internet content – that is, content and all applications regardless of the source. In other words, the bus that takes you to the mall may not control what you see and where you shop when you get there.

The path forward for many Congolese youth is clear. They want to be free from tyranny more than the Kabila regime wants to repress them and deprive them of their God-given life pursuits. In the Congo, the youth are prepared for a sustained civil disobedience undertaking to cripple and ultimately remove an oppressive system that not only kills them but also squelches their aspirations and hopes for a dignified life.

Prisons in some states are withholding newspapers from inmates amid a strike against prison conditions and billions of dollars worth of prison labor. The passing of the 13th Amendment in 1865 formally abolished slavery, but with a stipulation that enabled plantation owners to use prisoners as a replacement for the lost labor. As a group called the Free Alabama Movement rallied for a Sept. 9 labor strike in spring, prison authorities across the country began clamping down on news and information in ways that the ACLU says may be in violation of the First Amendment.
September 9, 2016
On Sept. 9, a series of coordinated work stoppages and hunger strikes will take place at prisons across the country. Organized by a coalition of prisoner rights, labor and racial justice groups, the strikes will include prisoners from at least 20 states – making this the largest effort to organize incarcerated people in U.S. history. The actions will represent a powerful, long-awaited blow against the status quo in what has become the most incarcerated nation on earth.

The violent events of the past week have placed the country at a decisive moment. Words matter but deeds matter more. Leadership matters. President Obama spoke about the need for real change and new "practices" following the murders by police officers of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Following this story is a Black Lives Matter statement on the murder of police and escalating protests to end state-sponsored violence against Black people.

In three days, Iris Canada turns 100. Did you expect to live this long? Did you imagine bearing witness to the Black community's dwindling to 3 percent of the population of San Francisco? In your dreams, did you think that your building would be sold and that you would have to endure an Ellis Act eviction whose sole aim was to extricate you from your home? Iris, with a voice so soft – tell me.

"On the weekend before Super Bowl 50 in downtown San Francisco, Officer Joshua Cabillo aggressively put his hands on me. It was a peaceful protest and I sensed the hatred in his eyes," says protester Deja Caldwell. Not only did Officer Cabillo unnecessarily assault a woman who was protesting police killing, but he is a killer cop himself! On June 5, 2012, as a South San Francisco police officer, Joshua Cabillo brutalized, restrained and eventually shot to death 15-year-old Derrick Gaines. Officer Cabillo is a child killer with a long record of abuse, yet SFPD hired him.

In the South Carolina prison system, accessing Facebook is an offense on par with murder, rape, rioting, escape and hostage-taking. Back in 2012, the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) made "Creating and/or Assisting With a Social Networking Site" a Level 1 offense, a category reserved for the most violent violations of prison conduct policies. It's one of the most common Level 1 offense charges brought against inmates.

Just before 7 a.m. on Sept. 23, the memorial erected on Canfield Drive, mere feet from where unarmed Black teenager Michael Brown was gunned down by police officer Darren Wilson, went up in flames. Twitter lit up with pictures and outrage. Many who were at the scene report smelling something that may have been used as an accelerant. However police and officials are saying that candles near the memorial site are what caused the blaze.

This week, Rainbow PUSH Coalition and Color of Change launched a Twitter-based social media and online petition campaign to hundreds of thousands of their subscribers demanding that Twitter release its EEO-1 workforce diversity inclusion data and convene a direct dialogue with SF Bay Area community partners on solutions and strategies. On July 23, a few days after the launch, Twitter finally delivered its "pathetic" data.

Rev. Jesse Jackson led a delegation to the Hewlett Packard annual shareholder meeting on March 19, calling attention to the lack of minority inclusion in Silicon Valley. He emphasized the virtual absence of African Americans in corporate boardrooms, corporate suites, financial transactions, advertising and professional services. The following day, he met with community leaders in the East Palo Alto city offices.

On Feb. 12, Venezuelan Youth Day and the commemoration of the independence battle of La Victoria, some university students and traditional conservative opposition groups took to the streets in Venezuela. It quickly became obvious that the principal purpose of the protests was to destabilize the government and seek the ouster of the democratically elected president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro.

"People are evading their fares. We are only here because the mayor wants to cut down on all the crime," Officer Carrasco barked at me, while issuing a citation for alleged fare evasion to a young African-descendent student on his way to school. This young brother was one of over 25 people caught in a "sweep" – read invasion – of a Muni bus, who were pulled off the bus so citations could be issued.

One of our great African American mental giants is often called the "Godfather of Silicon Valley." Roy L. Clay Sr. is the name of this African American star. In 1965, he created and headed the Hewlett-Packard computer division. It was the first computer company in the Silicon Valley. In 1966, Roy and his team created the HP-2116, the world's first mini-computer.

Friday, Sept. 21, saw yet another in a series of large demonstrations across Haiti against what many protestors called "the corruption of the Martelly regime." Not a single U.S. news outlet filed a story in English on the demonstrations. Most conspicuously absent in their coverage was The Miami Herald.

Mayor Ed Lee is considering a New York City-style stop-and-frisk policy, where police search anyone they consider "suspicious." Lee, the first Chinese American mayor of San Francisco, said, "I will be tagged – as the minority mayor of this city – for racial profiling." He's right – and that tag is entirely justified.

When Malik Rhasaan first visited the Occupy Wall Street park at Liberty Square, he noticed that there was a lack of people of color. "Something needed to be done and I started the hash tag #occupythehood and from there it kind of swelled," said Rhasaan, getting support from everyone from "professors down to cats who just got out of prison."

Black and Brown folks have long known that whenever economic troubles "necessitate" austerity measures and the people are asked to tighten their belts, we are the first to lose our jobs, our children's schools are the first to lose funding, and our bodies are the first to be brutalized and caged. Only we can speak this truth to power.

Since the beginning of the seizure of police stations and army depots by the "peaceful" protesters in Libya, Africa, in February, who were then armed to the teeth and terrorized the population of many cities in Libya, the British government has supported them, calling them "rebels," and even in the last few days recognize them as the "official government of Libya."

Ok, this week is a big one! Losing to the Rams set us off course a little bit. We needed to beat them because of the difficulty of our remaining schedule. The Packers are 3-1, but they've been very beatable so far this year. We need to control the clock and our defense needs to be able to get off of the field. We haven't have a turnover by our defense in two weeks, they need to make some plays.
Irving returns this week, he should provide a boost for us and hopefully he can make a similar impact to what he did last year against the Pack in the regular season.
Offensively, Dak needs to put together a complete game. He hasn't done that yet this year. Last week he finally avoided a slow start but then, for whatever reason, he had a pretty pedestrian second half. He and Dez also need to get on the same page. Let's hope Dak can be a bit more accurate. One other thing offensively I am looking for is for Beasley to get involved. He is such a good weapon, we need to be able to use him. JG and Linehan need to make that happen.
This will be a tough one and our record against elite QBs is not great, especially with Sean Lee probably not playing again. I'm thinking we fall to 2-3.
PREDICTION: Packers, 31-28.
They need to mix it up a little more on offense. We had some success when we were doing some bootlegs, etc. that kept the defense on their heels. Maybe, move Elliott around more and pass it to him more often. David Irving will help a lot. One of the reasons the Patriot defense isn't as good this year is because of their pass rush. The O line needs to re-establish their dominance. They've been a little spotty this year.
I also agree that Zeke needs to be more involved in the passing game. Hes every bit the RB Gurley or Bell are and there is no reason he shouldnt get at least 5 targets a game.
As for the defense, I have to admit Im not too optimistic about this game. If the Cowboys arent able to generate a pass rush Rodgers will absolutely pick them apart.
Pretty much by now, all of us know what the Cowboys weaknesses are, but this is where the coaching staff have to work overtime. The Rams coaching really made a huge difference this year from last year. Their new coach this year has put some pretty innovative plays. They couldn't even run the ball last year and Goff had trouble hitting receivers. This year, they're tops in many statistical categories. I wouldn't mind if the coaching staff came up with more deceptive plays. An analyst pointed out that it was hard to beat the Patriots on a regular basis because Bellichek never had the same game plan. I just think the Cowboys need to make the Packers do not get too big of an early lead. Irving needs to be a destructive force...if he and DLawrence can combine for a disruption, it will go along way. I just wish Sean Lee would play. He erases a lot of mistakes that goes unnoticed until he's not in the game, suddenly the floodgates open when he's not there.
I am also comfortable with him not playing this week because Hitchens returns this week. Hitchens can help Smith get off of the field a little bit more, which will be good as he is still working his way back.
|Sponsored Links
Having Lee play would help but for the sake of his health for the rest of the season he really should sit this week.
Mamba and Mr. B. Agreed. I'd rather he sit and stay healthy for the full season. It's just a wish because he's probably the most important guy on defense. A lot of the break downs on defense happens when Sean Lee isn't there to erase them. Lee isn't perfect, but he makes more good plays than bad. Hitchens will help alot....I always thought that Hitchens would be missed on defense more than people expect just because of his veteran experience. David Irving was a beast when he played against the Packers, so I hope he and DLawrence can have their most disruptive games tomorrow.
I think it might take Irving a couple weeks to get back in football shape. We need him to make an impact immediately but dont be surprised if he doesnt. Really the same can be said about Hitchens too.
Rodgers scares the **** out of me. As much as it kills me to say, I don't see any way we win this game unless the offense puts 50 points on the board. With Romo that might have happened, but I don't think Dak is able to do that (yet).
Wow, Dak putting the team on his back!
The allas Cowboys with no D are back. This pathetic non defense has the potential to be the worst defense in the history of the NFL
Marinelli invented a new defense. He dumped the bend, don't break and started a bend, then break defense

For Teen Read Week, the East County Mobile Library decided to have a "design a bookmark" art activity. The teens could draw anything that inspired them, a book, an author, a story that meant something to them, etc. The bookmobile staff asked the Rancho San Diego Friends of the Library to participate and select bookmarks for prizes.
Twice a month, the bookmobile sees the students from Monarch School in downtown San Diego. The school's librarian, Leticia Castellano, walks over two groups of students between 2:00 and 3:00. Chuck Gentry told her about the bookmark program/activity and gave her the blank bookmarks. On the scheduled visit on October 19th, Leticia told her class of teens about the bookmobile's Teen Read Month. She said before she could finish, one of her students, named Ramses, wanted the blank bookmark to start on.
He had never participated in an activity like this before so it surprised everyone that he was so eager to be part of it. The bookmark craft motivated him so much that he drew three bookmarks!

My E30 M20 turbo writeup (lots of pics)

The waste gate is a valve that bypasses exhaust gas around the turbine wheel of the turbocharger. It is the flow of exhaust gas that causes the turbo to spin which produces boost pressure. In a simplified view, the more exhaust gas the higher the boost pressure. The waste gate opens to vary the amount of exhaust gas that reaches the turbo, which controls the turbo speed and hence the boost pressure. If the wastegate is in the direct path of the exhaust flow then it will possably allow less exhaust gasses into the turbo and more out of the waste gate, which will cause the boost to drop off after the wastegate opens fully. I hope this helps.
But on the other hand, you want a very clean path to the wastegate to prevent
boosting. And the wastegate (at least this one) isn't like an on/off switch. As the boost level is approached it will start to crack open and slightly bleed off pressure. As more boost continues to build it will open further, etc etc. I understand your concern but this is a fairly small wastegate and it's not an issue at all for this application.

Uniforms stewardess: Delta Air Lines. USA.
I bought a business class ticket on the DL 407 flight from New York (JFK) to Zurich (ZRH) 20 2016 year in January when I was waiting for my flight in the VIP -zone Sky Club at the airport in New York, I received a note about the possibility of not to eat his kosher food !!! I would like to mention the fact that there is no possibility to buy kosher food in the territory of the VIP-zone. So I was forced to stay hungry.
I think that this is a manifestation of extreme anti-Semitism, because comments on Sky Club employees were sent only my address, but I am absolutely sure, that other person were to eat kosher food, and no one made any comments to them. In addition, I have attached a photo where you can see the dog in the VIP -zone Sky Club, and I want you to tell me why dogs can spend time in the VIP -zone, but a person should be without food? This situation has a lot to disappoint me.
As a consequence of this non-pecuniary damage was done to me.
At take-off and landing aircraft shakes, as if about to fall apart, strain it's just awful, absolutely can not relax. Just you come from a take-off - landing already. Well at least not for long tormented, because the pilots manage to get on the road, probably all the air pockets in which they can. I can say that the most terrible moments in the air I have experienced with this airline.
I flew the company several times. Comfortable chairs, clean interior, in general, everything is up to par. I was taken out and put on board a virtually hands. Flight attendants are friendly and very careful. The food was wonderful. First the sandwich, and then the dish later 30 minutes. A couple of hours brought the packages, which was Nutella, biscuits, cream and sugar for coffee. Using the services of Delta, I have never had a problem with luggage.
My sister lives in America for 3 already. At the invitation of her flew to her on a visit to New York by Delta Airlines and back (From Moscow). Flying economy class, still a long distance and air tickets are now expensive. In general, everything was pleasant, especially earlier on international flights never flew. Registration was quick enough and without a hitch. I was sitting in the middle of the plane, so it was quite comfortable. Quality of service is good - the plane is excellent and fully fed - nothing to buy it was not necessary. Only once to the flight attendant could not call in any way, but in the end she came, apologized benevolently and everything fell into place. There were no delays in flights. Arrived right a minute in a minute. The plane is clean, everything is neat, the toilets are well maintained, good. The flight is long, but I'm not tired. The temperature was periodically transmitted overboard, the instruction was held before the landing. Baggage on arrival was safe and sound, nothing was lost. Basically, everything is enough, the flight went smoothly, without excesses.

1.1 lbs is perfect size for megadose. I have started megadosing vitamin c for 6 months and it is working really well. The problem was it was hard to buy the right about. Then found this product. Recommended.Goes Well With:Water
I decided to start taking vitamin C once I realized that no matter how healthy I am, no matter how amazing my numbers are, I always seem to get sick on a more regular basis than others. Just a cold/runny nose...that kind of sick. My friend who is a nurse suggested I take in more Vitamin C. Now, I work in the health field and I am aware that supplements are usually not absorbed by the body efficiently and are, most of the time, excreted out. However, I was sick of getting sick for what seemed to be no reason at all! I tried this product and I can honestly say that it's been 8 months and I haven't been sick (except food poisoning once form fish) at all! I Take 500mg with my tea in the morning - the taste is a bit bitter - but other than that I can't complain. Placebo effect? Maybe, but its cheap and I haven't been sick so I'm happy.

everyday i startup windows i notice an error. windows loads fine and all but:
Raid 0 SSD: failed
disk on Port 1 Failed
The problem is i see no way to fix this? there are no option to check and repair the disk
I run chkdsk on the drive letter and it finds no errors
at boot up I hit Control I and i see one of the SSD has Error (0) on it
yet theres no option to fix it
how do I actually fix it?
should i be using a cdrom bootdisk or soemthing to try to fix it?
do i need to delete the raid in order to diagnose and fix it with windows chkdsk?

When someone utters the sentence "Yesterday, James talked to Rob. He admitted the theft", this could either mean that James admitted the theft, or Rob did. The reason for this ambiguity is that pronouns such as he and him do not have a fixed meaning. Rather, their interpretation depends on the context and can be influenced by the preceding sentence.
This thesis investigates pronoun processing in children and adults by studying the interaction between linguistic factors such as grammatical principles and discourse context, and cognitive factors such as processing speed and working memory. Computational models are developed within the cognitive architecture ACT-R that simulate the production and comprehension of pronouns. These models are tested in various experiments with children and adults, including a truth-value judgment task, a dual task experiment, an EEG study, and a pupil dilation study.
The results show that pronoun processing requires sufficient processing speed for an adult-like discourse representation as well as for adult-like use of grammatical principles. The proposed account of pronoun processing provides new insights for theories of language development, models of sentence processing, and accounts of communication deficits.

I've always got a book or two on the go. And it's not just because reading is as important for a writer as actually writing. It's because, quite simply, I love books. I love opening a book, reading the first page and being in another world with new people. How else can you go into another world without being insane? Or being in a SF film, I suppose.
I've always read. Even as a kid when I couldn't articulate why I liked books so much, I read. To be honest, it didn't matter to me why I read; I just knew I loved stories. That hasn't changed at all over the last thirty odd years. OK, my tastes might have matured a bit but the basic enjoyment I get from a new book is still as powerful as it was when I read Five Go Camping And Julian Erects His Own Tent (or whatever it was called). Tastes might change. Stories don't.
So, I've got a couple of books on my little table which I'm enjoying very much. Dark Hollow by John Connolly; a collection of essays called On Writing Horror, and a book which I think will be a help for my next book (started yesterday and 3,000 words in) called The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England by Ian Mortimer. And when one of those is finished, I've got a book by Stephen Leather to start.
I read as much as I can because I'm a writer and that's what writers should do. And I read as much as I can because there's nothing quite like a good book.

This is the only song I listened to today.
Kelela, one of our favorite new artists of last year, and the teenaged Chicago-based singer/rapper Tink (who will probably have a spot on one of our lists this year) have teamed up with DJ Dahi to craft "Want It," an achingly sexy R&B jam for a Songs From Scratch session for our friends at Yours Truly. Kelela confidently fills in the negative space that Dahi constructs with his sparse drums and calming synths. And then Tink comes in with a seriously cocky verse about stealing a man from his current girl before blithely harmonizing on the hook.
When you are done listening to "Want It," watch the video below to see how the trio made the song on the spot on a sunny day in Los Angeles.
Watch Tink, Kelela, and DJ Dahi make "Want It" in the studio:

The final OS is projected to launch in the coming weeks
More: http://news.softpedia.com/news/windo...ampaign=bufferMicrosoft has recently revealed that Windows 10 was running on 200 million devices across the world, explaining that adoption of the new operating system goes much better than it did in the case of Windows 7 or 8.
But it's very important to note that this 200 million figure concerns devices, and not PCs, as Microsoft is also offering Windows 10 for Xbox One consoles and smartphones.
Citing sources close to the matter, Microsoft watcher Mary Jo Foley has said in a recent podcast that, out of these 200 million devices running Windows 10, no less than 180 million are PCs. And it's no surprise here. Windows 10 was launched on PCs more than 5 months ago and it is offered as a free upgrade to those running Windows 7 or 8.1.

Barfay Breakfast
It seems to be a common pastime in Frankfurt to attend a buffet breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday morning (or both mornings, of course). They usually run from about 10 until 2 and the aim is to sit there for as much of this time as possible, chatting with your friends, reviewing the week etc. Mads and Thieu are both huge fans of a buffet breakfast (Mads calls them a 'barfay breakfast') and I'm not adverse to them either, yet somehow it took us almost three months to get to one. We chose the perfect day though - rainy, dreary and nothing much on so why not spend the day eating?
It was 16 euros per adult and the guy behind the bar looked at Mads and said 'just 8 euros for her.' Sucker! I thought, as Mads made a bee line for the smoked salmon. So we filled our plates and settled in to sip coffee and champagne and discuss our week - the things we'd learnt, interesting things we'd seen or heard.
'I discovered that you can lose a German raffle before a single number has been drawn,' I said. On Saturday we went to a 'family fun day' at Mads' kinder. There was a 'tombola' where you picked your tightly rolled-up ticket(s) out of a hat. I bought three tickets and one of them had writing on it instead of a number. Someone looked at it and said 'that means 'too bad, you're not going to win with this ticket.'I was incensed. I mean, I never expected to win the raffle but to tell me that I didn't even stand a chance seemed unneccessarily unkind.
Then Thieu related a conversation he'd had with a German collegue.'It's complicated, being German,' the collegue had said. 'We were taught at school that we could not be proud to be German. Patriotism of any kind was frowned upon. I once wanted to take a German flag to the tennis to show my support of Boris Becker and I couldn't find one anywhere. In the end I had to get a tailor to make me one specially.'
The other big event last week was that Thieu taught his first student - with a fully-qualified instrutor adding comments over his shoulder of course, but still, it went well. So well, in fact, that the instructor came up to Thieu's office and presented him with his own instructor's pointer. It is telescopic which means that it folds down to the size (and shape) of a pen. It even has the clippy bit so that you can wear it in your breast pocket.
I inspected it. It had a white plastic knob on the end, presumably so you wouldn't take anyone's eye out. 'Was there a choice of knob-colour?' I wanted to know. White seemed a little dull. 'Well,' said Thieu, 'the instructor's pointer did have a chrome knob, but he said he'd had it for 20 years.' A chrome knob. Now that sounded impressive. 'Maybe it's something you work up to,' I suggested. 'You start with white and then as you train more students you get to replace the colour of your knob until finally, you get a chrome one. Or even gold maybe.' Thieu gave me that look. 'It's possible,' he said.
We guzzled and sipped and the day meandered by nicely. On the way home we saw a man pull a portable dog bowl out his backpack. It was a plastic tray thing that was attached to a water bottle and neatly folded out, providing a drink for dogs too high and mighty to drink out of a puddle. I've never seen one before.
This Friday we're going to London for a Birthay party. I am planning to luxuriate in the English language - doing lots of eaves-dropping and asking complicated questions in shops. Mads is going to ask an entire playground full of kids to play with her, just for the sheer joy of being understood. I wonder if she'll freak out when they all sound a bit like Charlie and Lola?

Ever woken up in the morning and felt like you would really like to ride on a giant mushroom? If so, then Erlebnispark Steinau is the place to head (watch out for the talking donkey on that link. It gave me a heart-attack the first time). Our upstairs neighbour, L, took us there on Sunday with her son and some of their friends. It's about an hours drive from Frankfurt and definitely worth the drive. There were bbq facilities (naturlich) and there were fun things to play on - like a luge-type arrangement called a Sommenrodelbahn. There were trampolines on masse and there were weird rolling rides shaped like storks that you pedalled across an elevated platform. Mads and I rode on one together and Thieu rode the one behind us on his own. Half way through the ride, Thieu's friend Strutts Thieu from Australia called. 'Hey Strutts!' said Thieu. 'Twenty bucks if you can you guess where I am?' Strutts didn't guess.
There was so much to admire. I loved the slightly scary, slightly battered old-school rides:
And the strange Grimm Brothers-themed chairs in the cafe:
We heartily embraced every cheesy photo opportunity:
And oh, to have this wonderful fart-predicting machine for our very own!
I even loved the toilet paper dispensers...
...and the sanitary disposal bag dispenser (although this kind of freaked me out too.)
But most of all I loved the little carts that the locals had which seemed to be especially designed for ferrying your stuff from the car to your picnic location:
The one in this photo is actually kind of inferior because it doesn't have solid sides. I saw some much better ones, but I started to feel a bit self-conscious photographing peoples' stuff as they wheeled efficently past me. These trollies are so useful, so solid and so very German. They look like something my dad would make, although he isn't German. But perhaps he is at heart?

Cosy Names and the H word
Here are some shots of our local park. Mads and I have had a few dark moments here - not understanding anyone, not understanding why no one understands us. The other day Mads tried chatting to a group of girls and they looked at her, noses wrinkled and said 'Was? Was?. Mads angrily shouted back 'What are you 'wassing' about?' Then today she was happily playing in some bushes when a mother came over and said, 'that's where the children pee.' Awesome. I wanted to say 'there is a toilet. Have the children considered using that?' but perhaps it's not a toilet. Perhaps it's a cubby. Who knows?
Notice the headstones in the second photo? The park used to be a graveyard, but it was almost entirely destroyed during...you know, the War, and I guess they decided it was easier to just turn it into a play area.
Ah, the War. When Thieu did his 'cultural sensitivity' briefing when we first arrived here, the advice was a. 'never give a German person a boquet with an odd number of flowers in it' and b. 'don't mention The War.' We haven't mentioned it, but people keep mentioning it to us. And it's a hard topic to avoid because even now, 60 years later or whatever it is, there's evidence of it everywhere. We met our upstairs neighbour in the park one day and she pointed to the streetscape and said 'have you noticed the holes where the bombs fell?' I thought at first she meant little chunks out of the buildings, but she actually meant the way in which there will be three older style houses in a row, then suddenly, starkly, a modern one, built where an older one used to be before it was bombed.
Then today, I went to have my 'German lesson' with a very kind mother from Mads' kindergarten, which always just ends up with us chatting in English. Today we started talking about childrens' books. There's a character I keep seeing here called Straw Peter and I asked her about it. She said he's from a famous German kids' book - one of those old style books with heavy, scary morals ('Bob refused to keep his hands off the table. So a monster came and bit them off.' That kind of thing).
I was musing on what would make parents think this was a good thing to read to their kids and she said; 'There was a very terrible man here once called Hitler.' I paused for a moment, then said, cautiously, 'Yes. I've heard of him.' We ended up having a very interesting discussion and what was the most striking thing for me was the terrible guilt and shame she seemed to carry, as a 28 year old, for something that had happened so long before she was born. It was like she'd inherited the awful burden of it. She was near tears when she told me about how, when she used to work for an airline, she would sometimes come across older people who would refuse to speak to her because she was German. And I found myself telling her about the terrible attrocities that the early settlers in Australia did to the indigenous population, as if it would somehow make us more even. As if you could ever been even with something like that.
And now next week, after that conversation, how can I possibly go back to my faltering German and start constructing clunky sentences about how 'I like to read books and travel'?

Give and Take
Remember the finger that was jammed in the door the other week? It was quite obvious it was going to fall off, and Mads has been stressing about the impendig event for some time. Eventually, out of desperation I told her about the Fingernail Fairy, who collects up fallen fingernails (whole ones, not clippings) and will leave a gift in return by way of thanks. But what, Mads wanted to know, does the Fingernail Fairy do with all those fingernails? Well, she gives them to children who have no fingernails. Of course.
When the fingernail finally dropped off last week the Fingernail Fairy made good her promise. She whisked the nail away (although I pity the poor child who will receive it) and left a present. As luck would have it, the Fingernail Fairy discovered a present that we didn't end up giving to Mads for Christmas - a keyboard - and she thought, well, it is a little large for such a tiny nail, but there was considerable pain involved in the losing of it, so why not.
Unfortunately, another fairy visited that night too - the Conjunctivitis Fairy, or, for fans of polysyllabic German words, the Bindehautenzundung Fairy. So it was back to the childrens' doctor for us. Oh well.

So, we caught the Very Fast Train to Paris and this, on the whole, was very good. There was much more room than on a plane and we sat near a friendly German family who chatted to us and gave us kids books. I plugged Mads into the ipod and drank a beer. Then we hopped out at Gare L'est, straight into a taxi and were at our hotel half an hour later, rather than having to deal with the monstrousness of an airport.
First stop the next morning was a nearby cafe called Cafe Madeleine (d'accord...) for croissants and coffee.
Then Mads wanted to see the Eiffel Tower **(her 'must do' list for Paris was based on entirely on the Madeline books and the Eiffel Tower was number one on the list). We hadn't really decided what we would do once we got there, and the long queues nearly made us run away, but Mads was dead keen to go up, so in the end we compromised and went up half way. I'm glad we did. It's pretty amazing. My favourite bit was all the nets they have under each viewing platform to collect all the cameras and phones that fall from sweaty tourist hands before they plummet to the ground and clonk someone on the head. Do you think you'd ever get your phone back again?
We discovered a few things about Paris this time that we hadn't noticed on previous trips, sans Small Person. Like, there is a decided lack of playgrounds, although we've since been assured that they are there, you just need to know where to look. I found the 'no walking on the grass' signs very annoying last time, but they're completely infuriating when you've got a kid with you. Queues are even less appealing, especially when the kid is probably not going to be excited by the interior of the gothic church you are asking her to wait patiently to see. But luckily ice-cream is everywhere, and everywhere ice-cream is good. We also felt strangely articulate being in France after two months in Germany. My French was never good and it is extremely rusty now, but it's still far better to my German. Thieu felt the same. We were able to construct entire sentences and be understood. Pretty much.
We spent two nights in Paris, and then went to visit S and L and their two boys who live in a fantastic old farm house just outside Paris. The elder boy shared Mads' love of Spiderman, Tin Tin and dressing up. And Madeleine discovered a new character to dress up as - a super hero from a French show called Sam Sam which I'd never heard of before. Mads hadn't either, but she instantly recognised that the costume was a cracker.
We particularly like the eyebrows. I'm now in charge of trying to track down a Sam Sam costume for her.
(** I've been instructed that I'm not allowed to post the pictures of Thieu being a model on the Eiffel Tower because then his Superhero identity will be revealed. Sorry.)

After weeks of public back-and-forth, Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke will reportedly be in Iron Man 2 after all.
Deadline Hollywood Daily says that Rourke got a significant salary bump after Marvel's previously reported "lowball offer." According to DHD, Rourke will play "the Russian villain" in the film, which seems to confirm the rumor that he'll play Crimson Dynamo.
The site says that Rourke will start researching his role once he wraps up promoting his comeback film The Wrestler in, ironically enough, Russia.
And just to add fuel to the fanboy fire, DHD also claims, "Sony was considering hiring Mickey to play the villain in Spider-Man 4."
Which character do you think Rourke would have played in Spidey 4?
UPDATED: Variety confirms Rourke's casting in Iron Man 2, adding that he'll "play Whiplash, a character that includes elements from that comicbook villain and Crimson Dynamo, another Russian baddie."

Hi Everyone
I am new to this forum, and relatively new to pools. I have a 10X4mt salt water pool, with sand filter. The sand has been in the filter for 4 years, it has never been changed and we have added to it. We dont backwash on a regular basis, only if we start to see a high pressure build up, then a quick 15 second backwash and rinse seems to do the trick. We carry out a longer back wash maybe twice a year. I can see that the filter still has plenty of sand.
On opening the pool this year (after shocking), I notice the PH is remaining a lot higher than usual. Also sand is going back into the pool.
I have read in the brief filter manual, that high PH can cause a rise in pressure during a filter cycle.
1) Could it be that the high PH is also causing the problem with the Sand?
2) I have read on this forum that broken laterals could be causing the sand problem, but what is the life expectancy of the laterals ? It can't be damage through the addition of sand as we havent added any.
3) I have also read on this forum, there is a product to clean the sand. Can anyone tell me what the product is and would it be worthwhile trying ?
Many thanks everyone
