It's amazing how fast things can move in a few years. Last time I went I turned up with a brand new, very expensive camera (a Canon 10D). Since then Canon has replaced it with a new model 4 times and you can now pick them up for next to nothing from eBay. I've taken a rather large number of pictures since then and my camera is still going strong, I soon managed to get back into my habit of annoying everyone with it ;-)
The event was again held in the Youth hostel in Dusseldorf. I had heard it was going to be closed for renovations, maybe their definition of renovations is different from mine but usually it doesn't involve bulldozing the old building and building a completely new one! It's a good thing though, the new building is much nicer and it now has a bar and serves pizzas in the evenings. The rooms are much better now and they now have en-suite showers and toilets, unfortunately I think they were still using the same old mattresses though.
I flew in from England the day before it began as the flight was about 5 times more expensive on the Friday. On Friday I met up with "Humdinger" I had already planned to meet him but wondered if it might be a bit difficult as I had no idea who he was or what he looked like! Actually it turned out he'd been to BeGeistert before and I recognised him immediately. We wondered off for a walk around Dusseldorf altstadt (old town). I discovered that cameras are a lot cheaper in Germany and after I drooled over the 5D MkII, we ended up in a German bar and enjoyed a few of the local Alt beers.The beginning
Later in the day we returned to the hostel where a few of the BeGeistertiens had turned up, by the end of the evening we had a room full of people.
The event was attended by people from far and wide. Plenty were from Germany of course, but there were also people from Sweden, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, The UK, The Netherlands and several from France. I think the prize for the cheapest, greenest and healthiest (not to mention the most adventurous) journey must go to Bas de Lange, he cycled all the way from the Netherlands, and afterwards cycled all the way back.
Many OSs were in use, The open source BeOS clone Haiku is of course much in evidence in both the real form and the Senryu "distro" which is really just a weekly build of Haiku for virtual machines. There were quite a few machines running the now defunct Zeta and there was even a 12 year old machine running the real BeOS. Windows and Linux were also around as you would expect but only a couple of Macs, there were quite few Macs last time I was present. Another alternate OS called Syllable was also present and we had a presentation on the new server version (more on that later).
I remember the very early BeGeisterts where most people turned up with desktop machines complete with monitors, keyboards and all the rest of it. This changed over time with more and more people bringing laptops. This time was apparently the first time it was laptops only, most were full size laptops but mini laptops are starting to appear in the form of my Aspire One and there was also an EEEPC.
I recognised many of the attendees although there were a few faces missing from last time, there were a few new people as well. The whole gathering had a bit of a family feel as these days everyone knows each other and gets on well. I imagine this is at least in part to the fact many of us have met over the years at BeGeistert events. This is in complete contrast to some on-line communities where the lack of direct communication means people can be, or appear to be rather different.
There were not exactly a huge number of people present (probably under 30) but BeGeistert has never been a big event and it's going quite well considering BeOS hasn't been on sale for quite a few years now without any direct replacement. Zeta sold for a while but it was quite divisive, popular with some but very unpopular with others.
Haiku is still pre-Alpha so it's not used much. I get the feeling that this could all be about to change though, The Haiku Alpha release is nearing and this could see an influx of previous BeOS users having a look and perhaps bring in some new people as well.
The last time I was at BeGeistert, Haiku was in its early stages, I remember way back in BeGeistert 010 when they first showed a working shell. Other parts were also under development but back then they needed BeOS to operate.
Now it's a very different story, Haiku is not even Alpha yet but it is for the most part a functioning OS. You can view pictures, watch movies and listen to music. Not quite everything works but this isn't even pre-Alpha so that shouldn't exactly be surprising.
The BeGeistert crowd are a very helpful bunch, people I'd never met spent a lot of time helping me get up and running with Haiku. Despite following Haiku for quite some time I've never actually used it. I now have it installed on a mini-laptop I'd bought earlier in the week.
The room was full on Saturday with just enough space to go around. Any time I had been before I hadn't brought a BeOS machine with me but this time I now had Haiku and started playing around with it.
It was mostly pretty quiet with people coding away on various things. Even I was busy, I thought I'd be early and started writing this report there (hmm, that really worked).
In the afternoon there ware a number of presentations:
Haiku Update
Stephan Assmus did a quick Haiku update and showed us the smooth scaling he's put into the movie player. He is now using Haiku as a desktop OS and does his builds on it, that it can be used in such a way shows it is clearly well on its way to becoming a usable desktop OS, at least stability wise.
Stephan went on to give us a demonstration of the new Icon-O-Matic, a vector graphics based icon editor. Icon-O-Matic is probably the most powerful icon editor ever made, capable of all sorts of complex images. It can save these icons in a number of formats including Haiku's own minute icon format that typically measures files in hundreds of Bytes (yes, that's Bytes).
Net Surf
Next up Francois Revol gave us a demonstration of the Net Surf browser port he is working on. Net Surf was originally written for RiscOS machines with just 16MB RAM so it's a very small, fast web browser. The port is not complete yet but there's clearly been good progress. Net Surf can't do everything the likes of Firefox can do but that doesn't appear to be the intent (at least in the context of Haiku). Haiku already has Firefox so it doesn't need to do everything. Being small and fast is very useful, it could be very useful for looking at things like help files where you don't want to launch a big app like Firefox.
The port isn't complete but it can download and render pages. It also supports drag n drop - you can drag a folder onto it and it'll display the content. You can also select the page contents then copy and paste them into a editor, the contents and style fonts of the page are retained when you do this.

"...if these people can hack encrypted files , is on line banking next?"
Online banking security is a lot more robust than Twitter, but in theory anything can be hacked. Banks use some sophisticated methods of security enhancement - mine, for instance, knows if I use anything other than my laptop to try to access my account, and it asks me to provide the answers to two additional security questions before it allows me to use my username/password/security code combination.
Banks accounts have been hacked, but it's a rare occurrence, and if it happens your bank should make good any losses - provided you can satisfy it that you took adequate steps to protect your login details.
It goes without saying that you should never, ever, under any circumstances allow these to be stored on your computer. If you use a public access computer - in an airport or hotel, for instance always go into the browser settings when you've finished, and delete the history. I also clear the cookie cache, but it's best never to use public access machines if you can avoid it.

Geneva: Three train cars derailed and 11 people were injured on Wednesday after a landslide hit a mountain train in the Swiss Alps, police said. One carriage slid down a steep slope, saved from a ravine only by large trees.
The accident occurred in a deep wooded valley between Tiefencastel and Solis, southeast of Zurich in the canton (state) of Graubuenden. Police said about 140 people were on board at the time of the accident, about lunchtime. The landslide followed heavy rains over the last day.
Five people were seriously injured and another six sustained slight injuries, Graubuenden police spokeswoman Anita Senti said. They included eight Swiss, two Japanese citizens and one Australian, police said.
The train had set off from the ski resort of St Moritz heading north toward Chur, Graubuenden`s administrative capital.
Police initially said the train ran into a landslide on the track, but later revised their comments to say a landslide hit the train as it traveled between two tunnels along the side of a valley. One train car slid about 10 meters down the slope before being stopped by the trees.
Air rescue helicopters helped with the recovery effort since the crash site was not near a road. By mid-afternoon, everyone had been evacuated, with uninjured passengers taken to Tiefencastel and put on buses.
The train is operated by Rhaetische Bahn, which runs narrow-gauge routes in Switzerland`s mountainous southeastern corner that are popular with tourists. The line is expected to remain closed for two days.
Switzerland`s rail system is considered among the safest and most efficient in the world, despite the country`s challenging terrain.
Accidents are rare, although in 2010 the popular Glacier Express tourist train derailed in the Alps in southern Switzerland, killing one person and injuring 42 others.

So Denver is the #1 seed in the AFC and therefore would host the Conference Championship game. Likewise, the Whiners would also host the game in the NFC if they win and our Hawks win since they would be the higher seed. So that means a Pacific Time Zone city in San Francisco and a Mountain Time Zone city in Denver. I don't recall ever seeing this happen. To my knowledge there has always been at least one host city in the Eastern or Central time zone on Conference Championship Sunday and thus that city has the early (10 AM Pacific) game. Does anyone know how this would schedule out next Sunday if it comes to pass that Denver and S.F. host the games?
I have a guess by the way..... I say they start the game in Denver at Noon local time so 11:00 AM Pacific with Hawks vs. Whiners at 2:30 PM Pacific meaning both games would be an hour later than normal start times on Conference Championship Sunday. I mean there's no way they start the Denver game at 11:00 AM local time (10 Pacific) right? And obviously the game in Whinerville isn't going to start at 10 AM local time.

Celebrating 10 Years of Global Responsibility
Throughout our history, Starbucks has been actively involved in our local neighborhoods and our coffee-growing communities, and exploring ways to minimize the environmental impact of our stores.
Ten years ago, we joined a small but growing number of companies openly assessing their corporate citizenship efforts by publishing our first annual report on these areas. With this simple step, we acknowledged our responsibility to lead by example and put into place measures to ensure transparency and accountability for our progress and performance on community and environmental impacts of our business.
Each year since then, the report has taken a look back at what has been accomplished and set ambitious goals for the future. Just as our scale has grown, so has our responsibility – and our ability to use our scale for good.
Now, a decade later, we've launched our 10th annual Global Responsibility Report. Although we are proud of how far we have come, we know there is still a long way to go. We welcome your input and ideas on the journey.

A creative sideline for gardeners is plant propagation, or enhancing the landscape through reproduction.
A creative sideline for gardeners is plant propagation, or enhancing the landscape through reproduction.
It's also a cheap way to fill flowerbeds and herbal containers while prices continue to climb.
Methods of propagation range from seed sowing to grafting, and all require varying degrees of skill.
"For propagation, you don't need an education, but you may need some guidance," said Ken Druse, author of the new "Making More Plants: The Science, Art and Joy of Propagation" (Stewart, Tabori and Chang). "Most often, though, it's all about starting plants from seeds."
Seeds are an economical way to grow in bulk, even if you must buy them in commercially prepared packets. "Getting your seeds from a proven source is a good way to ensure high production," Druse said.
Here is a propagation glossary, describing the most commonly used methods:
Sowing seeds: Druse starts his seeds indoors three at a time in half-inch pots, topping the soil with fine sand. "Moist soil is a great medium for seeds but also for fungus, which can kill a great many sprouts in just a couple of weeks," he said. "Gravel is not a hospitable medium for fungus."
Stem, leaf or root cuttings: Pieces of the parent plant are cut and placed in water or a suitable growing medium until roots develop. They become clones, or junior versions of the originals and soon are ready for transplanting.
Layering: A practice usually done with woody plants where living stems are placed on the ground with their tips forced downward. They receive nourishment from the parent plants while roots form on the planted ends, enabling them eventually to be separated and grow unaided.
Grafting: Branches are removed from one woody plant and secured to another until they "take" or begin to grow. That unites certain desirable characteristics from one plant — say hardiness, dwarfing or faster fruiting — with those of its host. Apple trees commonly are grafted, as are Japanese maples.
Dividing: Perennials should be divided once they outgrow their sites. That improves their health, bulks up foliage and produces more flowers. "Depending upon the species, these divisions may grow to be as large as the original plant by season's end: more plants for free," Druse said.
"Sowing seeds, cuttings and division are the most prevalent forms of propagation done by home gardeners," said Rosie Lerner, an extension consumer horticulturist with Purdue University. "It's a little work but well worth the effort. It's a matter of knowing which parts of the plants to split off and divide. Many have a high degree of success."
And then there are plant swaps, which add a social component to garden building.
Be careful of those pass-along plants from neighbors and friends, though — the kind they're willing to trade because they have so many. Some could be infested with mites, while others may be invasive.
"Some plants are thugs," Druse said. "Anything so easy to propagate may not be that great to have around your yard."

Steve Borsuk Belly dancer raises howls of delight during opening of Moroccan dining place.
I've been to Morocco more than five times. I've been to Tangiers, Casablanca, Fez, Marrakesh, and the beach of Agadir, and I've truly fallen in love with the culture, the exotic palaces, the ruins of yesteryears, the people and the incredibly delicious food.
So it's great to know that Morocco has somehow landed in our shores through Kasbah, which offers exceptionally excellent Moroccan dishes. The resto, which originally opened in Boracay beside Discovery Shores, has now extended its presence to Manila. It has opened a branch at the Fort Strip.
This restaurant and bar famous for adding exotic luxury to the Boracay dining scene, now showcases the best of Morocco's flavors and vibrant culture, dahlings, in its "souk-inspired" two-level Taguig City location.
Madonna English is managing director and truly the Queen of the Kasbah. She welcomed the 200 or so invitees to the elbow-to-elbow affair. She had designed the interiors with her debonair husband Martin English and designer Robin da Roza.
Their attention to detail was evident in every corner, as they really captured the North African style through plush cushions and vibrant colors. The décor is great for savoring the unique flavors of Moroccan cuisine, palanggas.
A lavish buffet dinner spread was prepared by executive chef Fadi Zaidan. It included awesome favorites such as Tabbouleh, Tangier Calamares, Moroccan Cigars spring rolls, the wow Lamb Tagine, Seafood Tagine, three different flavored Couscous, and loads of mezze.
For desserts, there were luscious Baklava and the to-die-for Panna Cotta, all drowned by the superb Don Papa rum, made from our very own Negros sugar, no less, and Moët & Chandon Hennessy VS, natch!

There is no feeling like finding the perfect body position, leaning the bike over… you have the perfect entry speed… and you find that perfect line. You and your bike are one and you cut the apex like a Neurosurgeon. The aches and pains from a long day at work are far behind you. You don't feel your age anymore. You just feel the Speed and the Road, and the Revs of the Engine as you look through the turn at what's out there. The tires are gripping, but at that hairy edge… but you roll on the throttle and bust out of the curve like a Patriot Missile, just almost kissing the outside of the lane. The perfect line.
There is no other feeling like it. None.
I had that Perfect Line tonight. My God it was amazing! My knee had been hurting bad. But then suddenly… I didn't feel it anymore. Lost in the unadulterated thrill of murdering that apex and I could feel the front tire raise off the ground at the exit. It was like a beautiful High that I wish you guys could have felt. I wish you could have been there!

Bobcats hand Trojans 2nd TCC defeat
The Madison High School volleyball team fell to Tri-County Conference rival Whiteford Thursday night after five hard-fought sets. Whiteford, which earlier in the season broke Madison's 40-match TCC win streak, came out on top winning the match 25-22, 25-15, 17-25, 23-25, 19-17.
Whiteford handed Madison its only other TCC loss earlier in the season. The Trojans traveled to Tecumseh on Wednesday night for a scrimmage with tough competition in preparation for this matchup.
"Last time we played (Whiteford) with no emotion," Madison coach Dawn Opsal said. "This time was obviously better, but it took us until the third set to get going."
The Bobcats struck early in the first set, going up 3-0 early. Madison (24-12-2, 9-2 TCC) was able to tie the set at 3 and then take its first lead of the night at 5-4. Whiteford pulled ahead to a 14-10 lead, but even with Madison closing the gap, the Bobcats were able to stay focused and clinch the first set, 25-22.
The second set started out with an early 3-3 tie, but Whiteford quickly shut down the Trojans and pulled ahead, 12-4. Whiteford's blocking at the net hindered Madison from pulling close, and the Bobcats moved to a commanding 19-7 lead. Madison maintained its focus and was able to pull within 23-15, but Whiteford overpowered them and Madison fell 25-15.
"We had a slow start," Opsal said. "It was very disappointing."
Madison started the must-win third set with determination etched on its faces. A tight back-and-forth set showed Whiteford pulling ahead, but Madison fought point by point and gained a lead at 13-12. The Trojans turned up the heat and increased their lead to 16-13, and Whiteford continued to put on the pressure. With the match on the line, Madison grew its lead to 21-16, and the Bobcats could not match the Trojans' intensity. Madison took the set 25-17.
The fourth set was a heated battle with the score bouncing back and forth. Madison got on the board first and the score was tied at 4 early on. Whiteford was able to pull ahead at 12-11, but a soft hit by Madison tied it back at 12. Madison took the lead at 14-12 with a hard hit into the corner.
Whiteford pulled ahead 17-16, but Madison came right back and pulled ahead 18-17. Hard hits and teamwork took Madison to a 23-20 lead, two points from tying the match at two sets each. Whiteford did not give up and brought the score to 24-22, with Madison fighting for the set point, which it got after two Bobcat defenders missed a ball at the net. Madison tied up the match with the score of 25-23 in the fourth set.
In the final set of the match, the intensity could be felt throughout the packed gymnasium. Whiteford took a 4-1 lead in the game deciding set, but Madison did not let up and quickly pulled within one. Madison took over the lead at 8-7 and the score stayed within two points as an electrified gym cheered on the girls. With the score tied at 13-13, the lead shifted back and forth until Whiteford was able to pull ahead to a 19-17 win, giving them the final set and the win.
"It came down to the end," Opsal said. "We had a lot of chances, but we made too many errors."
Michelle Hague finished with 50 assists, and Shayla Villarreal added 12 kills and 19 digs. Hanna Johnston had 10 kills, and Haley Mellon finished with 10 kills and 22 digs. Haley Hudson was credited with 28 digs.
Madison travels to the County Tournament at Adrian High School on Saturday, where it will face Blissfield, Addison and Britton Deerfield in pool play.

WASHINGTON — Ramzi Yousef, inmate No. 03911 at a federal "supermax" penitentiary, is serving life with no parole plus 240 years in a 7-by-11-foot cell with no bars and one small high window, far from other inmates, prison staff and the world beyond the fortress deep in the Colorado Rockies.
He has been there for 15 years, in nearly 24-hour solitary confinement at the prison they call the "Fortress in the Rockies." Even his meals provide little relief, with the food trays shoved by unseen guards through a sally port between two steel doors. The only other inmate within shouting range has killed others in prison.
Yousef, now 44, knows he will never go free. An avowed terrorist convicted in the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing, he killed six people and injured more than 1,000. But in a lawsuit, he is trying to persuade a federal judge to at least release him from solitary confinement. The judge is expected to rule soon whether the suit will go to trial.
Despite his good behavior, Yousef says, he is being kept isolated because he is a convicted terrorist, something he can never change — and that, he argues, is a violation of his due process of law.

Trolleybus enthusiasts and families turned out in droves to make today's Sandtoft Gathering one the best ever.
The sun shone as hundreds flocked to the Isle of Axholme museum which houses the biggest collection of trolleybuses in the world.
The gathering is their biggest event of the year and director Tony Ferris said: "The response has been absolutely fantastic. We're having the best Gathering we've had in years."
Around 120 classic vehicles, including 40 buses, turned up - some of them without prior notice - to create a huge display for visitors to admire. One of them was a couple who brought their MG Midget sports car from Surrey for the event.
An hour after opening about 800 visitors had paid their admission and Mr Ferris was predicting well over a 1,000 for the day.
"I think this is by far the biggest we've had. I sent out lots of entry forms but I didn't expect so many vehicles as this. The weather has obviously helped."
A fleet of nine trolleybuses from the museum's fleet took it in turn to ferry visitors round the museum site and a six motor buses were giving passengers free tours of the Isle throughout the day.
Old buses were also bringing visitors from Doncaster transport interchange and taking them back after their outing.
"Some people like to come by train and hop on one of our buses and others don't have their own transport so it's a lovely way to get here," said Tony.
Today's event is the 43rd since the museum was created on the old airfield site at Sandtoft.
Other attractions included the vintage bicycle museum, transport bazaar, an old pre-fab bungalow as it was in the 1950s, and a real ale tent.
The next big event at the museum is the Blues and Twos event for classic emergency vehicles on August Bank Holiday Weekend.
Today's event is open until 5pm.

CASAR � A ladder was all it took.
It stretched from a 1959 model fire truck. It hovered over huddled boys and girls, students at Marion Elementary School. A firefighter at the ladder�s top waved to the children below.
Rickey Brackett, a fifth-grade student at the time, was in the crowd.
�I said, �I�m going to do that one day,�� Brackett recalled as he sat in his dining room. The family dog, Maggie, scratched playfully at her owner�s knees.
Years later, Brackett did just that. He promised himself to never look down when hiking up similar ladders every day.
Brackett retired as a captain from the Shelby Fire and Rescue Department this month. He worked for the agency a little more than 30 years.
Shelby city leaders recognized Brackett with a proclamation commending his service and a golden key to the city at its March 25 meeting. A cluster of firefighters and their administrators looked on as Brackett spoke about his time in the department.
�It�s like having a second family. It was hard to walk away from them,� he said.
But Brackett had his reasons.
'A dream place to be a firefighter'
Worn captains helmets rested in Brackett�s living room nestled in Casar. Pens and engraved name badges scattered across a middle row on a shelf. All carried memories of Brackett�s time as a firefighter.
Eyeing the ladder truck at his former elementary school wasn�t his first experience with the fire service.
As a child, Brackett tagged along with his older brother Dale and visited the Waco Community Volunteer Fire Department. Then, he volunteered with Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department before joining Shelby Fire and Rescue.
�The excitement of seeing the big trucks, sounding the horns�,� Brackett remembered as a child. �Shelby was a dream place to be a firefighter.�
And it was for Brackett and those he worked beside. Longtime friend Jeff Hammitt, a department battalion chief, described Brackett as a �good officer, and one heck of a firefighter.�
If anyone was upset, Brackett always found a way to make them laugh. Hammitt called Brackett the department�s �crowned prince.�
�Reaching this milestone, I�m tickled to death for him. I never heard anyone ever say they didn�t want to work with Ricky Brackett. I�m going to miss him here at work,� Hammitt said.
A dream job, second family
A firefighter can retire after 30 years in service at the department. That wasn�t the core reason why Brackett�s firefighter uniforms are now tucked in his home closet.
His 19-year-old son, Connor, wants to work in the same fire department. The agency upholds a nepotism rule prohibiting family members working together.
�I took Connor to the fire department stations many times as a child,� Brackett said. �For him to follow in my footsteps, it makes me feel real good.�
Brackett works part-time at the Crest Quick Stop. He also tends to his �mini-farm� of a rescue horse, goat, two dogs and a cat.
His days are quieter now.
No sounds of roaring fires. No reminders to not look down while climbing a 75-foot fire truck ladder. No need to make sure the four firefighters in his team left every scene safe.
He builds model fighter planes in his spare time. His wife, Gail, said he�s an expert at crashing them. He glanced at her. Both laughed through a smile.
Brackett said despite the distance, the Shelby firefighters will always be his second family. It was one of the great things about being a firefighter.
He summed up the last 30 years of his life with a one phrase: living my dream.

Just needed somewhere to vent about Fox TV's "Did we land on the moon" show: (start rant)
GOD F()CK|NG DAMMIT that show pissed me off. Thousands upon thousands of people life's work and a few extraordinary people's very lives go on the line, and Fox TV spits in their faces. I wish to no end that I had the abiltiy to personally apologize to everyone who currently is, or who has ever worked for NASA. Fox TV went out of its way to show the so called "evidence" in the best possible light and the "experts" as bumbling boobs. The laughable list of "proofs" are all old news, retreaded hacks that have long since been disproven or laughed at. Bad science, stupid nut-cases and history revisionisim at it's worst.
The worst part is this: people will doubt. Most will ignore it for what it is, but there are those who will look at the "evidence" and question. One of the greatest accomplishments in this century by mankind and people will doubt it ever happened. That, my friends, is f-ing sad.
My final thought is this, who the hell do they think SHOT this fake video of the moon, huh? How can they be SMART enough to work at NASA, launch what are essentially skyscrapers of fuel into space, but not smart enough to build a decent MOON SET?!? With millions and millions and millions of dollars (in the 1960's no less) and the ready assistance of the US Military and Government, why didn't they think to TURN ON THE GODDAMM STARS??
- Gee, Floyd forgot to turn on the stars in that shot, Ed, should we reshoot it?
- Nah, nobody'll ever notice. Go get me a doughnut.
- Hey Ed, we need another "rover" shot, what backdrop should we use?
-Ah, no point bulding another one, just reshoot with this one. Nobody'll ever notice.
In this scenario, somebody pocketed a LOT of money.
Final thought. The Russians (and anybody else with a high-end radio set up) listened and tracked the whole f-ing thing. From beginning to end. The Russians were CHOMPING AT THE BIT to report a failure, an explosion, whatever. It would have been a worldwide news story that NOBODY could have clamped down on. If this had been an fake, the Russians would have driven an aircraft carrier into New York harbor with megaphones on the deck and the US would have been a worldwide laughing stock.
Nothing is more powerful than the truth.
There is no greater crime than ignoring history.
Man has walked on the moon.
(end rant)

Graco supports a project for the homeless in Paris and donates airless paint sprayer
APA (Association pour l'Amitié, i.e. Association for Friendship) is a non-profit organization created in 2006 that helps homeless people and others who live outside the society or in social isolation.
APA works in the Paris region. Its biggest project is the creation of shared apartments, where people from different backgrounds live together.
This community life creates a sense of belonging and is favourable for the development of human relationships to which everyone is entitled. It is also APA's way of wanting to demonstrate that, let's say, former prisoners do not have to live in a special home or institution. This year, four projects have been started in the Paris region. In July, work began on renovating two apartments.
The organisation is composed entirely of volunteers and tries to operate with as few resources as possible. It tries to keep life as close to normal as possible. There are no professionals in the organisation, so everyone does what they can, in their own way, according to their abilities.
The property that Graco visited was previously a church council youth institution.It had numerous rooms, spread over four floors, but only one dining room. APA is in the process of renovating the building and converting it into shared apartments. Each floor will operate entirely independently.
For the current project, professionals are being called in purely for the electricity and plaster-boarding. Responsibilities are divided between the residents themselves, so that each apartment has one person in charge, as does each floor. The people work independently and are responsible for themselves
The current project in Paris is a major project and until recently everything had been painted using a roller. In total, around 100 volunteers had lent a hand, be it for an evening, a weekend or a few hours. As the area to be painted was vast, somebody came up with the idea of hiring a paint spray gun. APA did this twice, and found it to be a very useful tool. But hiring it was not so straightforward. Their next move was to contact a local paint company and ask what machinery they used. The answer was a Graco sprayer. So they contacted Graco even though they did not know anybody at the company. The Communication Manager, Helen Hoskin, put them in contact with Graco's Account Manager for the French market, who donated an ST Max 495.
Graco's representatives were on site to get the machine up and running. They took the time to explain how the machine worked, and to go through the safety and cleaning guidelines to adhere to. Then, work could begin. During the first few hours on site a few practical questions arose, such as how to regulate pressure, but with telephone support from the French Graco team, it was soon resolved. "Although the machine is a professional unit, it is not too complicated for non-professional painters to get the best out of it, after a proper induction," according to APA. In that sense, the ST Max turned out to be the perfect tool for the job.
In the beginning, the association had some start-up problems with the paint they were using. The composition was probably not ideal for the machine. Then, a major paint supplier in France provided 800 litres of paint, which the ST Max 495 sprays perfectly. Currently, there are only four people within the association working with the machine. "It is important to follow the start-up and cleaning instructions closely. The cleaning is not really a drawback, it is just part of it! You just have to make sure that you are consistent when cleaning the machine, to avoid any problems," according to APA.
"The two major benefits of the machine are undoubtedly its speed and the quality of the finish. The efficiency is almost magical! The opportunity to see how a door is transformed in 15 seconds ... But apart from these very concrete points, it is very encouraging and heartening for us to receive so much solidarity in times of crisis. If everybody does their bit, this will be a wonderful project!" says APA.

Jim Owens '08 (MS CS), a doctoral candidate in Clarkson's mathematics Ph.D. program,
has accepted a position with The American University of Iraq — Sulaimani (AUI-S), a private non-profit university in Iraq's Kurdish region. The university, which opened in 2007, offers undergraduate and graduate degrees to students from all regions of Iraq.
All classes are conducted in English.
"I am extremely excited," Owens says. When he saw the job advertised, "It seemed like the perfect job for me at this stage of my life." Owens applied for other teaching positions and received several requests for interviews, but turned them down in favor of the position at AUI-S.
This isn't Owens' first trip to the region. In April 1991, he was one of 50 members of a U.S. Air Force unit sent to Turkey to provide engineering support as part of Operation Provide Comfort. It was shortly after the first Gulf War, and the Kurds of northern Iraq were fleeing to escape bombing raids conducted by Saddam Hussein's military forces.
"We hurriedly set up a base camp at Yüksekova in southeastern Turkey to support relief operations for more than 180,000 Kurdish refugees from Iraq," he recalls. Over the next six weeks, his unit helped stabilize the situation in the refugee camps and repaired several mountain roads for the refugees to use when they were able to return home. "That experience had a really profound effect on me," he says.
It's been almost 20 years since Owens last visited the Kurdish region. "It's a very different guy going back," he says. "I'm 55 now. Coming out of graduate school, my goals are different than they might be for someone 30 years younger. This is a really unique opportunity to do some meaningful work."
Owens moved to Iraq in mid-September, about two weeks ahead of the school's fall semester. He is a senior lecturer in the IT/business program.
Before his graduate work at Clarkson, Owens was an adjunct lecturer and worked as a technical educator for a Vermont-based software company and as a teacher and technology coordinator in high schools in Vermont and Massachusetts. He served in the Air Force from 1974 to 1993.
Owens received his master's degree in computer science from Clarkson in 2008. He also has a master of education degree from St. Michael's College in Colchester, Vt., and a bachelor of arts from the University of Maryland University College, European Division.

Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. reported a profit of $505,000 for the fiscal quarter ending Sept. 30 -- a significant decline from the same quarter a year earlier, when the studio made $75.5 million.
Revenue was $498.7 million, down 29% from $707 million for the same quarter a year ago, when the company was helped by the home entertainment release of its hit film "The Hunger Games."
Lions Gate posted earnings per share of 0 cents, a decline from a per-share gain of 56 cents a year earlier.
However, the company beat the expectations of analysts, who had predicted a loss of 7 cents per share, according to investment research firm Zacks.
Shares of Lions Gate were up 42 cents to $32.56 in midday trading on Friday.
The company recorded a small profit after being assessed a $36.2 million charge for paying back debt early. The company refinanced $435 million of debt in July, lowering the interest on the borrowed money from about 10% to about 5%.
"We completed a strong first six months of the year with a solid second quarter in which we generated robust free cash flow, continued to de-lever our balance sheet and lowered our interest expense," said Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer in a statement.
Lions Gate's fiscal years end March 31, making the quarter ending Sept. 30 the company's second of its 2014 fiscal year.
The company's motion picture business segment, which includes much of the studio's home entertainment and international operations, posted revenue of $434.4 million -- a decline of 29% over the same quarter a year ago.
Lions Gate partly attributed the drop-off to having only two wide theatrical releases during the quarter versus three films for the same quarter a year ago. The company released "Red 2" on July 19 and "You're Next" on Aug. 23.
The company's television production segment posted revenue of $64.3 million, a decline of 35% from the same quarter a year ago. Lions Gate said that the decline was due to the timing of domestic television series deliveries, which offset gains in international revenue driven by the the shows "Orange Is the New Black" and "Anger Management."
Lions Gate is releasing the second installment of the Jennifer Lawrence-starring "The Hunger Games" film series -- "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" -- on Nov. 22. The first movie in the series grossed $691 million worldwide.
PHOTOS: Greatest box office flops
Lions Gate released "Ender's Game" on Nov. 1. The film, like "Hunger Games," is based on a popular series of novels aimed at young adults. However, the "Ender's Game" author, Orson Scott Card, has come under scrunity for his opposition to same-sex marriage and Lions Gate has disavowed Card's views.
The film has grossed $33.7 million in the U.S. and Canada.
Speaking on a conference call with analysts on Friday morning, Feltheimer highlighted several forthcoming Lions Gate movies, including the Johnny Depp-starring action comedy "Mortdecai," which is currently in production; the science fiction picture "Divergent," which is based on the bestselling novel of the same name; and "Expendables 3," the next installment in the action series known for its ensemble of older actors.
"Expendables 3" adds Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Antonio Banderas, Wesley Snipes and Kelsey Grammer to the cast, giving Lions Gate "confidence that we've repositioned this franchise in a powerful way," Feltheimer said.

It�s a good time to think about your retirement savings strategies.
It�s a good time to think about your retirement savings strategies.
Congress even designates the third week in October as National Save for Retirement Week.
Ensuring you have enough money to support your retirement lifestyle is important. Unfortunately, many Americans have apparently not done enough to build retirement savings to ease their minds.
Consider these figures from the Employee Benefit Research Institute�s 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey:
� 49 percent of survey respondents said they are unconfident about being able to afford a comfortable retirement.
� 46 percent of survey respondents say they and/or their spouse have tried to calculate how much money they will need to live comfortably in retirement.
Here are some steps can you take to gain confidence in your ability to retire comfortably:
� Envision your retirement lifestyle. At what age do you want to retire? When you retire, do you plan to travel or stay close to home and pursue your hobbies? Will you do part-time work or consulting? It�s important to identify your retirement goals and, as best as possible, estimate how much they will cost. Once you know what your retirement goals look like, you can shape a strategy for achieving them.
� Contribute as much as you can afford to your retirement accounts. No matter what your retirement goals may be, you�ll help yourself by contributing as much as you can possibly afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. (At a minimum, put enough into your 401(k) to earn your employer�s matching contribution, if one is offered.) If you reach the point where you can �max out� on these plans, look for other tax-advantaged investments to which you can contribute.
� Invest for growth. You�ll need to include a reasonable percentage of growth-oriented vehicles in your retirement accounts. The exact percentage will depend on your risk tolerance and your specific objectives, but it�s important to have that growth potential. Keep in mind: Investing in growth-oriented vehicles involves market risk and possible principal loss.
� Review your progress. At least once a year, review your portfolio to determine whether its performance is still on track to help you make the progress you need to reach your goals.
� Make necessary changes. If your investments are underperforming, you may need to make some changes. In the years immediately preceding your retirement, you may also need to adjust your holdings, possibly by moving some dollars from growth-oriented investments to income-producing ones. However, even at this stage of your life, you may still need your portfolio to provide you with some growth potential � you could be retired for two or three decades, so you�ll want your money to last and to stay ahead of inflation.
Joe Faulk is a financial adviser.

|Name and quarry location:
|Lumachella antica, occhio di pavone bigio, from Kutluca, Izmit, Turkey
|Geological description:
|Late Cretaceous limestone containing rudist bivalves, forams and other bioclasts.
|This stone was used in ancient times and the quarries were rediscovered by Lorenzo Lazzarini in the 1990s at Tasagili, just southwest of Kutluca, where the stone had continued to be quarried for local use under the name 'Gebze alma çiçei', meaning 'apple blossom of Gebze'. He concluded that it was the stone referred to as marmor triponticum in Diocletian's Edict of Maximum Prices of the 4th century AD because it lay midway between the three seas - the Pontus Euxenis (Black Sea), Propontis (Sea of Marmora), and Lake Sophon (Lake Sapanca) which was then larger than today. Corsi's collection includes four different colour variations (nos.217, 220-222).

Bill to protect underage drinkers who need emergency help
Submitted: 08/16/2013
- Young people who get into trouble while drinking may be afraid to call for help.A proposal to offer protection to underage drinkers who need emergency help got a mixed reception at a hearing yesterday.Several University of Wisconsin students testified in support of the measure before the Assembly's colleges and universities committee.But the police chiefs from the UW campuses in Madison and Whitewater raised concerns. They fear the measure doesn't give law enforcement enough leeway in deciding how to handle underage drinkers.Under the bill, a student who seeks and obtains emergency assistance and cooperates with police would not be subject to serious disciplinary actions.Bill sponsors say there are nearly 200 campuses nationwide that have some form of the law in place.(Copyright 2013 Associated Press - All Rights Reserved)

Uh oh - you're gonna be in Dallas?
Top 10 concerts I have been too. Keep in mind that I am a closed-minded metal fan and have reduced my options to metal shows. No offense to other music, I just found my niche and stayed there. All venues are Denver Colorado...10. Ozzy Osbourne (No More Tears song on the album), McNichols Arena with Sepultura (Max was fronting/Chaos AD) & Alice in Chains (AOC with dog on cover). Amazing! Ozzy was pretty good, but Sepultura ripped and Alice in Chains was amazing. Layne had a broken leg, so he hobbled out and kicked it on an old couch and belted everything out perfectly.9. Judas Priest (Painkiller tour) McNichols Arena with Testament (Souls of Black) & Megadeth (Rust in Peace)8. Sepultura - Roots (with Max) - Ogden Theatre & Sepultura - Beneath the Remains tour - Azatlan Theatre7. Forced Entry, Atrophy & Coroner - Azatlan6. Obituary - any5. Vio-Lence & Defiance - Colorado indoor Sports Complex (like a high school gym).4. Death, Pestilence & Carcass3. Clash of the Titans - Red Rocks - year? - this was the order the bands appeared - Alice in Chains (Facelift tour), Anthrax (Persistence of Time), Megadeth (late Rust in Peace) & Slayer closed (Seasons in the Abyss)2. Lamb of God - Headbanger's Ball Tour - Ogden Theatre - 2003.1. Metallica - Ride the Lightning tour (1984-85) with Armored Saint (March of the Saint - the old band that John Bush of Anthrax used to front) at the Rainbow Music Hall (seating capacity was 500 max). General admission and sat (stood and headbanged is more like it) 9th row center.

The Holiday Season is upon us and oh what a lovely time this is! However, some are not able to spend this time with family. It is my wish that everyone has a place to spend the holidays, or that they can at least cook a nice warm meal for themselves as they enjoy football and the Andy Griffith Marathon. So I would like to share with you guys some of my favorite recipes. They are great for house hopping in the event that you get invitations to multiple homes, you don't want to show up empty-handed. If you'd like to see all of my fun recipes for good food check out my personal blog here.
Sweet Potato Pie!
Prep Time: 1 hr 15 mins Cook Time 50-60 mins.
What you'll need:
- 2 -3 Sweet Potatoes. Depends on their size. But about 1 lb.
- 1 stick room temp. Butter.
- 3/4 C White Sugar
- 1/2 C Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 C Milk. I usually cook with 2% but for this I use whole
- 2 eggs
- Dash Cinnamon
- Dash of nutmeg
- 1 Capful vanilla extract
- 1 Frozen Pie Crust (You could make your own, but really it's not worth it)
Preheat oven to 350º after you have boiled the potatoes.
In a large pot, boil the potatoes with the skin on for about an hour. Sometimes I cut the potatoes up to quicken this process. Eventually they will soften and the skin will fall right off the potatoes.
Use a masher or a fork to break the potatoes up. I also like to run the mixer through them to pull out the stringy bits.
Next add the butter and combine with the mixer. Again pay attention to any chunks or stringy bits.
Add all of the remaining ingredients (add the eggs one at a time in another dish first to avoid shells and bad eggs) and combine with mixer thoroughly until smooth.
Roll the pie crust into a pie dish and press the edges into the ridges. You could also buy the pie crusts already in the foil pans. Pour pie mixture into the crust and bake in the oven until firm and set, about an hour. Do the pie test, insert a knife in the center and see if it comes out clean.
Top with pecans if you're wild and crazy like that or Whipped Cream when you serve or leave it as is. I LOVE it as is and I love it even more when it's hot!
Right before it heads into the oven
My Daddy's Peach Cobbler
Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 45 mins
What you'll need:
- 1/2 Cup of Butter (1 stick)
- 1 Cup of Milk
- 1 Cup of Sugar
- 1 Cup Self-rising Flour. (It must be Self-rising!)
- 1 Can of Sliced Peaches in syrup
- 8 X 8 Square Pyrex Dish or 13 X 9 Pyrex if you're doubling
Preheat oven at 350°.
Put the stick of butter into the pyrex dish and place in oven until the butter has melted. In the meantime, combine the flour, sugar, and milk in a bowl and whisk until moistened and there are no lumps. The batter will be like cake batter, but not as thick.
Carefully remove the Pyrex dish with the melted butter in it (remember it's hot!) and pour the batter into it. Now you have to move a bit quickly because the pyrex dish is hot so it will start to cook the batter. You will see the butter float and envelope the batter and that's cool. Great actually. Now take the peach slices right out of the can and place them all in the batter. I try to cover just about every inch of the batter. Then go back and pour the juice/syrup in the batter as well. Pour about half of what remains. Too much and the batter won't bake properly.
Place dish back into the oven and bake for about 45 mins until the top is golden brown. The batter will rise up over the peaches and look beautiful! Peach Cobbler just like that!
Serve with Ice Cream and have a blast!
And don't forget about Thanksgiving Breakfast! Before the festivities begin, wake everyone up with this delicious spice cake! Enjoy it with coffee and save some for dinner too!
Breakfast Spice Cake:
Prep Time 10 mins. Bake Time: 45 mins.
What you'll need:
- 1 box Spice Cake
- 1 package Vanilla Pudding mix
- 1 Cup Light Sour Cream
- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 C Vegetable Oil
- Glaze (recipe to follow)
- Bundt cooking pan
Preheat oven to 350º.
Spray Bundt cake pan with cooking spray evenly.
In a large mixing bowl combine the Spice Cake mix, Pudding mix, and Sour Cream. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add those as well along with the oil. Use a mixer and beat until batter is moist. If you don't have a mixer use a wire whisk.
Pour batter into the Bundt pan and bake for 45 mins. Check the cake around 40 mins by inserting a knife and seeing if it comes out clean. You don't want to dry the cake out by over-baking it.
Allow to cool about 10-15 mins and then turn the cake out of the pan. The easy way to do this is by placing a plate on top of the pan and then flipping it over. Gently ease the pan off of the cake.
Now drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake.
- 1/2 Cream Cheese Icing
- 2 Tbs Brown Sugar
- 1 Dash of Cinnamon
Place the above ingredients in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds allowing the icing to melt. Stir until smooth, drizzle while hot.
You can add nuts to the batter if you like, it's up to you!
Enjoy! Remember, it doesn't have to be Thanksgiving or any holiday to have a good meal. Use these recipes any time!
Happy Holidays!

Shane "The Hurricane" Helms is one of the most influential wrestlers of recent times.
While Rey Mysterio Jr. brought the masked Lucha Libre style to the mainstream, Hurricane Helms was a pioneer of the comic-book-loving superhero wrestler.
So it was fitting when Helms appeared at Florida Supercon earlier this month. At South Florida's largest comic book and pop culture convention, Hurricane Helms seemed to fit right in among the Deadpools, Batmans and Supermans.
During his solo panel on July 7, Helms made note of wrestlers like John Cena and CM Punk who are very open about their nerd passion. "Where were these guys back then?" he said with a laugh.
Helms said it...

Have you ever been to a marriage ceremony where the couple wrote their own vows? I still remember hearing, at one wedding, the words, "I promise to love you more than chocolate."
My husband and I, on the other hand, had a more traditional wedding:
love, honor, cherish
for better, for worse
for richer, for poorer
in sickness and in health
How young and naive we were! I thought of "sickness" as a headcold or the flu. Real sicknesses were for old people, or those who hadn't taken care of themselves. If we made sure to eat right and exercise, we'd be fine. At least, that's what we thought.
We were wrong. Good nutrition is important. So is exercise. But life holds no guarantees. Sometimes people just have bad luck.
The first few months in RA-land were rough. Like most men, my husband wanted to fix everything. It was hard for him to have to stand by helplessly. So he tried to help. In the past we'd stayed away from medicines, and I've been pretty open to trying alternative remedies. The more I learned about RA, though, I realized that could have dreadful consequences. My husband was a bit perplexed at my resistance to his suggestions that I try the various home treatments he heard about, and I was highly annoyed to have the person who should have been my biggest supporter instead trying to sabotage my chances of feeling better.
Eventually, though, he got the hint that I'd done enough research that I was going to stay mainstream on this. He's been very supportive. I appreciate so much his understanding and helpfulness.
Tonight we went out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary. I took my pill box.
Because we're in this together, in sickness and in health.

Instead of starting with a request for money, Paul begins with an example of sacrificial giving. We want you to know is the usual way he goes about introducing new information to his readers (v. 1). In this case, the new information concerns the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. Edwin A. Judge (1982) describes Macedonia as a splendid tract of land, centered on the plains of the gulf of Thessalonica. It was a prosperous area. Running up the great river valleys into the Balkan Mountains, it was famous for its timber and precious metals. The churches of Macedonia had been planted by Paul on his second missionary journey--Philippi, Thessalonica and Berea. What is newsworthy about these churches is the grace that God has bestowed on them. The noun charis ("grace") appears ten times in chapters 8--9. Even within this short span of verses, the range of usage is surprising. It is employed of a spiritual endowment (8:7), divine enablement (8:1; 9:8, 14), a monetary gift (8:6, 19), a human privilege (8:4), a word of gratitude (8:16; 9:15) and divine favor or goodwill (8:9). Here it refers to the way that despite adverse conditions, God has enabled the Macedonians to financially assist destitute Christians whom they did not personally know.
Paul seeks to motivate the Corinthians by making reference to a longstanding competitor. Greece and Macedonia (called the "barbaric North") have a lengthy history of political rivalry. Although Philip of Macedon united all of Greece through brute force in 338 B.C., it was a union not destined to last. But now the Macedonians are put forward as a competitor of a different sort. These churches were experiencing the most severe trial (v. 2). The Greek is literally "a great testing of affliction." The genitive defines the content of the testing: "a severe test consisting of afflictions." The noun dokime means a "testing" that proves someone's or something's worth or genuineness (compare 2:9). The term thlipsis ("pressure"), found nine times in this letter, is commonly used of the harassment that God's people experience at the hands of the world. No further details are provided about the nature of the harassment or the circumstances. But this may well be the same trouble that Paul faced prior to his rendezvous with Titus (7:5). If one can gauge from the frequency with which the topic crops up in Paul's letters, persecution was almost a way of life for these churches (Phil 1:29-30; 1 Thess 1:6; 2:14; 3:3-4; 2 Thess 1:4-10).
The severe trial that the Macedonian churches experienced was of a sort that left them in a condition of extreme poverty. The phrase is literally "down-to-the-depth poverty" (he kata bathous ptocheia; v. 2)--or, as Philip Hughes translates, "rock bottom" poverty (1962:288). James counsels his readers to consider it pure joy whenever they face trials (1:2). The Macedonian churches are a testimony that it is possible not merely to experience joy but to have it "overflow" in the midst of trials. Even more, just as persecution did not take away from their joyfulness, neither did poverty diminish their ability to be generous (Bruce 1971:220). Paul says that their poverty welled up in rich generosity (v. 2). The text is literally "a wealth of liberality" (to ploutos tes haplotetos). The basic meaning of haplotes is "singleness," and it denotes simplicity of character ("noble"), heart ("pure") or intent ("sincere"; Bauernfeind 1964). Here it signifies an openheartedness toward one's possessions ("generosity"). Sadly, it is often those having the least, rather than the most, who are the generous givers. Charles Spurgeon tells of receiving a wealthy man's invitation to come preach at his rural church to help the members raise funds to pay off a debt. The man also told Spurgeon that he was free to use his country house, his town house or his seaside home. Spurgeon wrote back, "Sell one of the places and pay the debt yourself."
It is easy to see how affluence can well up in generous giving. But how is it possible for extreme poverty to overflow in a wealth of liberality? Verses 3-5 provide the explanation.
First, it is because the Macedonians gave not just as much as they were able (literally "according to their ability") but beyond (v. 3). How much beyond Paul does not say. But there is no hint that this was a reckless action on their part. The sense is that they determined what they could comfortably contribute and then went beyond this figure.
Second, what they gave, they gave entirely on their own (v. 3). Authairetos (autos "self" + haireomai "to choose") refers to something done of one's own accord or by a free choice. In essence, the Macedonians were not pressured into giving. They gave willingly. In fact, they urgently pleaded to be involved (v. 4). The thrust of the Greek is that they begged (deomenoi) Paul most earnestly (meta pollhs parakleseos). This was because they considered involvement in the relief effort a privilege (charis; see v. 1) and a sharing (koinonia, v. 4). Koinwnia, commonly translated "fellowship" in the New Testament, means "that which we hold in common or have a share in." In Christian circles it came to denote the close union and common faith that believers have as members of Christ's church. Implicit in this close union is a responsibility to care for those in need in the family of God.
Finally, the Macedonian generosity was possible because they gave themselves first to the Lord and only then to Paul (v. 5). Their preeminent concern was how best to serve Christ. It is here that they exceeded Paul's expectations. They gave out of their poverty because of the sincerity of their commitment to Christ as Lord (to kyriw). So great was their desire to serve Christ that they would not allow their economic situation to keep them from being involved in the Lord's work (Waldrop 1984:38). This is why Paul describes the collection as a service (v. 4). It is not just a financial obligation. It is a ministry opportunity to the saints (v. 4)--those set apart to be God's possession.

Yeah I know, it doesn't seem right, but the garmin doesn't lie, and he has done it in the last 4 or 5 TTs. After the race he collapses on the ground and is grey for about 10 mins but then he comes back to life. Ive told him to back it off a bit but he just laughs. He really knows how to suffer which is a good quality.
Just curious, how did you find his real max?
I'd guess that if he can sustain 98-100% of his real max over 30 minutes it's not his real max.

Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on love and life from Dear Sugar
Tiny Beautiful Things brings the best of Cheryl Strayed's published and never-before-published online columns from TheRumpus.net in one place and includes a new introduction by Steve Almond.
"Be incredible!" That's the advice Teresa Rae Wood gives the listeners of her popular local radio show, Modern Pioneers!, a kind of hippie Praire Home Companion. Teresa has taken the advice to heart in her own life. As a teen mother and abused wife, she escaped with her two children to rural Minnesota, fell in love with a local carpenter, and raised good kids, Claire and Joshua. Then, at only 38, she receives the devastating news that she is gravely ill. In just a few weeks, she is gone. Torch takes a refreshingly unsentimental view of a family reeling from crisis. Claire drops out of college to devote herself to keeping her mother's memory alive back home. Joshua drifts out of high school and into trouble, keeping his grief silently private. Suddenly thrown into adulthood, they struggle to figure out how to connect in this new, unthinkable situation. Their one remaining ballast is Teresa's gentle common-law husband, Bruce. When Bruce announces news of his own plans, it comes as a shock not only to Claire and Joshua but also to the townspeople who have watched this unusual family grow and have come to love them.

Even Sony's Japanese boss doesn't know what PS4 looks like
It has in some parts of the media become the talking point of Sony's big PS4 reveal this week.
We saw the controller, we saw some games and we heard about key services – but the physical console remains closely guarded.
Well, that's what we presumed, anyway. The truth seems to be far conspiratorial – Sony hasn't yet finalised the design. And to express just how in-development the unit remains, even the boss of SCE Japan, Hiroshi Kawano, doesn't know what it will look like.
"If I'm being honest, I also haven't seen its final design," he told 4Gamer, as reported by Kotaku. Even the controller we showed today, I saw the final design around yesterday or so. I've seen numerous prototypes from when it was still codenamed 'Jedai', and I heard that an onboard touch pad was in the final specs."
Of course, in reality what the box that will sit under your TV will look like is in reality perhaps the least important aspect of the device. You play the games and use the services, not stare at the plastic, right?

The photovoltaic cells in solar panels capture the sun's energy and convert it to electricity.
This protects batteries from being overloaded by regulating the flow of electricity.
Batteries store electricity for use at night and when it's cloudy. In places without grid power, they are the only backup for electricity.
This equipment converts energy stored in a battery to voltage needed to run standard electrical equipment.

Monica Brown has a long history with Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). It started in 2008 when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After learning she had a low-grade neoplasm-a slow-growing tumor-she turned to Randy Jensen, MD, PhD, professor of neurosurgery, radiation oncology, and oncological sciences at HCI. Dr. Jensen removed the tumor from Monica's brain, and for several years it stayed away.
But Monica recently learned the tumor was backand in a dangerous location. This time, the tumor was close to parts of Monica's brain that control language and motor function. She decided to have a second surgery.
This time, Dr. Jensen used intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI), a new technology developed since Monica's first operation. With this specialized tool, he could now see the tumor's precise size and location during surgery. The intraoperative MRI also allowed him to check that all of the tumor had been removed. "Last time we weren't able to check our work during the operation," says Dr. Jensen. "This is cutting edge."
Monica returned home to her family three days after the surgery. Now the focus turns to radiation treatment to help prevent the tumor from returning. Monica says she's especially grateful for Dr. Jensen and the advanced technology at HCI because she lost her mother to bladder cancer at a young age. "She was 56," Monica says. "I don't want my kids to be without a mom when they get older."
