Interview: Colin Cloud
Compared to a real life Sherlock Holmes, Colin Cloud has astonished and amazed audiences across the world. Sarah caught up with Colin to talk about the Edinburgh Fringe and developing his incredible show...
Your tour is coming to Liverpool on 1st October – what can audiences expect from the show?
My inspiration for writing the show was thinking if Sherlock Holmes was a real person, what would it be like to go along and spend an evening with him, so he can demonstrate his various skills? I mix in some of my comedy background as well and make it quite an entertaining experience that involves everyone in the room, so everyone will leave having felt part of the show.
What sort of audience reactions have you received to the shows so far?
They've been incredibly positive; from the reviewers to feedback on social media, it's all been quite overwhelming. People say that they were sceptics before they came in, but they left converted. I'm not trying to convince anyone of any supernatural ability, only that it's quite an entertaining show. Everything that I'm doing is a very learned and very developed skill, which I've been training in and perfecting for the past twenty years. There's comedy in there, so there's lots of laughter…a lot of astonishment as well, which is the primary response that I'm going for in the show - Just wanting to leave people quite uplifted when they leave that room, having experienced something they haven't experienced before.
When did you first discover that you wanted to develop this skill?
I remember being six years old and seeing a book in my school library that had a photo of a guy on the front with a silly hat and a pipe and I thought, 'he looks ridiculous'. When I was eight, I picked up the book for the first time and by chance opened it up to a page where this character called Sherlock Holmes was deducing things about people. I was blown away. When I was eight I thought this guy was real, but when I was ten I discovered that this guy never actually existed and I totally gutted, as you can imagine. I was totally fascinated by everything that he did and I was really into the sciences, psychology, hypnotism and really just understanding how things, especially people, actually work.
You've just performed at the Edinburgh Fringe. What drew you to perform the show at the festival?
I lived growing up about fifteen miles from Edinburgh, so I always knew about the Fringe and it's kind of a boy hood dream to come and do a show here. I took a bit of a risk last year and put on the show myself and the show completely sold out. People were going away – word of mouth is the biggest marketing tool here – word spread really quickly and the entire run last year sold out. That led to getting a bigger venue, a production company and really making a bigger deal of it this year. Again, every single show sold out and the reviews have all been phenomenal. The response to it has just been great. From living nearby when I was younger, it's funny to think that I've now performed in London, LA, New York, Vegas, all over the world. Now coming back to pretty much my home town to do the Fringe, it's been a nice journey.
It's like you've come full circle almost, which Sherlock Holmes would definitely approve of. His deductions always seem to come full circle in the end.
Absolutely, what a perfect metaphor; It's great to know that I've developed something that is in demand. I'm incredibly excited to take it on the road and to be able to perform it in towns and cities across the UK. It's going to be a real treat.
Growing up did you ever think that this would be your career; performing these incredible shows to so many people?
I went to University to study Forensic Investigation, so in my head I thought I would be doing just that, but then I realised that the people who are amazing at being real life Sherlocks are comedians. Comedians are great at observing people and then talking about it in their sets. I thought the only real way to develop that skill was to go do it, so I got into stand-up comedy and developed how to perform onstage from that. When I finished University I had the choice of, do I continue a career in labs or do I want to travel the world and have a ball onstage? Sherlock [Holmes] has never really gone out of fashion and he's kind of always been there. The fact that his profile is so high again and people on TV have found out that I do all this stuff and they want to capture it; I'm totally honoured, thrilled and excited. In this show I didn't just think 'What would Sherlock do?', but I also thought 'What would Moriaty do?' That pretty much led to the finale of the show. The tour that I'm doing is a combination of the best bits of last year's show and this year's show. Everyone coming along is going to see an evening of the biggest and best stuff that I do.
Who do you take more influence from, Sherlock or Moriaty?
Very much Sherlock, but I think to try and better understand where I can take the show moving forward, I kind of had to tap into that side as well to draw inspiration from that.
Can you sum up the show in three words?
Real life Sherlock

New National Center at MN UCEDD Examines Outcome Measures
December 4, 2015
The Institute on Community Integration (ICI) (MN UCED) has received a five-year, $4.4 million grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to launch the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Home and Community Based Services Outcome Measurement (RRTC/OM). The center will help improve instruments and procedures used to collect data nationwide on how well HCBS-funded programs do what they're intended to do in supporting quality-of-life outcomes important to people with disabilities.
The RRTC/OM is directed by ICI's Brian Abery and Amy Hewitt, and is a partnership with the RTC on Community Living for People with Psychiatric Disabilities at Temple University, the RTC on Community Living Policy at the University of California San Francisco, The National Council on Aging, and the Ohio Valley Center for Brain Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation at The Ohio State University.

Thursday, December 7, 5:30PM. A celebration of the philosophy majors graduating in January, and a special lecture by Simona Forti.
Professor Forti teaches at Università del Piemonte Orientale and Turin University, Italy; she is currently a Visiting Professor at Columbia University.
Lecture title: Totalitarianism, Old and New
Lecture description: Many different voices from all around are telling us that totalitarianism has returned, although it appears in different clothes. But what, we should ask, is a totalitarian regime? How is it supposed to act? What were its main features? And what of its past dynamic remains with us today?

Little Boo has now finished his first full week in JK. He is loving it. He has definitely been more tired, what with the excitement, the gym classes, and missing his afternoon daycare naps. (He fought them like crazy so we put him in the pm JK session to avoid the hassle). There's certainly still some adjustments to make there.
Recess is his favourite subject. So he's normal I guess.
The big highlights were getting his name on his own coat hook and cubby in the kindergarten room. And decorating his canvas bag for the borrow a book program. He brought home his first borrowed book on Friday and he was really proud. It's called Flippidy Frog and is all about a day in the life of a tree frog. I got a little misty when I saw the bag in his daycare cubby. He's growing up! He did a really nice job decorating it too. Stamped with paint soaked square sponges in lots of different colours.
Now we weren't too worried about his transition to the JK class. As I've mentioned before, it's just down the hall from his daycare, where he's been for almost 4 years. And lots of his friends are in the class with him. But we were prepared for some hiccups and some problems.
Well, the problems weren't what we expected. You see, he really loves kindergarten. So much so that he now doesn't want to go to daycare anymore. "Just kindergarten, Mommy. I only like kindergarten now. I don't want to go to preschool."
I guess we should have seen this coming, but we didn't. We've had some struggles this week getting him out the door. And he isn't happy when we drop him off at the daycare. But at the end of the day it's clear he's having fun there.
This too shall pass I know. He just needs to get used to the new routine, and for the novelty of JK to wear off a little. But really, we didn't see this one coming.

Stew Leonard's unveils new pastry
Cannoli fans should head to Stew Leonard's to grab the store's newest concoction on the shelves in Danbury and Norwalk.
The Cannoli Chipwich is two freshly baked chocolate chip cookies with creamy cannoli filling piped between them; the edges are rolled in mini-chocolate chips and then the whole thing is dusted with powdered sugar.
The chipwich is the brainchild of Jake Tavello, Store Director at Stew's in Danbury and the grandson of store founder Stew Leonard Sr. According to a spokesperson, Tavello and the Danbury bakery team were discussing new ideas for the bakery and decided to pair two of the store's most popular items: chocolate chip cookies and cannolis.
The Cannoli Chipwich was introduced to the Danbury store on Friday and to the Norwalk store on Tuesday. The Danbury store also made a 10lb version of the Cannoli Chipwich and posted team members taking a bite of it on Facebook. They are looking into creating a birthday cake version of it, a spokesperson said.

rolling resistance was adequately low but could be lowered further. I think I want to build some wheel having investigated this topic as part of the project and as a commuter cyclist who always wants to go faster.
I need to rethink blades to better capture wind. The vinyl on spokes approach is better than the saran wrap I tried but hardly a resounding success. Comments bellow on other approaches would be appreciated. Current improvement that occurs to me is tacking pre cut blades sheet metal to the spokes.
The weld fit up /tacking was challenging. If I were to repeat might jig. Might notch where I cut off fork tine to improve fit.
Finish of vinyl was good but could have been perhaps better. I had never applied vinyl before and getting it to stick to curved/uneven surfaces was very challenging. I didn't mind that there was some cracking/bubble lines but probably not the cleanest aesthetic. Might sandblast and powder coat next time to create a more even finish.
Overall was fun and interesting getting used parts and turning into a budding piece of sculpture for a new sculpture artist. Hope you enjoyed!

Zachary's Story
7Hi, my name is Ann Lengel and I have a grandson who was born with HLHS. What a shock after having four other healthy grandchildren! Zachary is my youngest daughter's only child. She took care of herself throughout the whole pregnancy, but was told at about 24 weeks that her son had this condition. We were in shock, to say the least, but I live by the belief that God doesn't give us any more than we can handle.
Zachary was born on July 6, 2005, in Philadelphia. My daughter could not even hold him after birth. He came into the room for a few minutes after they had put all the lines in and then was taken over to CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) to the CNICU. The next day we went to CHOP - my daughter was still unable to hold him and it broke her heart.
On July 8th he had his first surgery, the Norwood. Zachary was in the hospital for 10 days and we were able to come home on July 19, 2005.
Thinking back to that time, it really was very emotional. My daughter, Jamie, is a single mother with no help from Zachary's father. I am the one who is there for them, taking them back and forth between appointments (Jamie does not drive) and I wouldn't have it any other way. Jamie is my baby and during Zachary's first stay in the hospital we became very close and were able to share a lot of our emotions with each other.7
The second surgery was on December 15th, right before Christmas. It was very upsetting to think about going to Philadelphia again, but Zachary was ready for the surgery and he needed it. Once again he came through surgery with flying colors and we were back home on December 20th. Zachary does require a lot of medications - less now that he's had his second surgery, and my daughter makes sure he gets all of them on time. Zachary not only sees a pediatrician, but also sees a cardiologist who he will have to see for the rest of his life.
I am so proud of my daughter. She takes such good care of Zachary and he is thriving! He is such a happy baby and whenever he reaches a milestone we rejoice. Right now, Zachary loves to roll from his back to his belly and back again.
We praise him for that because 7 months ago we didn't know what was in store for us. Each day we have with him is a blessing and we thank God for him. I close with this - God is so great. He answers prayers. I know, because he answers mine everyday.

The road leading out of Elkdale follows the Tunkhannock creek along the valley floor before beginning its climb on Lyon Street toward Elk Mountain.
As it is not part of any convenient route from from the outside world to The Hill, this side of the neighborhood, one of the most picturesque, is often unseen by visitors to the area.
Growing up near Clifford, this was the path brother and his friends drove to go skiing. Most times, even if reluctantly, I'd be allowed to go up on the mountain with the 'big kids'.
At that time, countless blissful days were spent skiing in blue jeans that, if new enough, would scuff out a patch of blue dye on the snow when gravity got the best of you.
Even though young, our legs would ache after a full day of adventure and exploration skiing with friends on the mountain's cold, snowy slopes.
Near dark, we'd careen home along this 'back way' to the mountain. With "Mountain" rock and roll blaring too loud, from the back seat I'd watch through tired eyes as brother's little convertible nearly skimmed off the deep walls of snow cut by the snowplow through impossibly deep snowpacks.
To home, home at last.
We'd peel off our soggy blue jeans, and be allowed to wear our long johns to the dinner table.
The warmth and comfort of a big steaming bowl of pasta served up by Mother would conspire with the fatigue of our growing bodies, causing our eyelids to droop as we barely made it from the table to under the covers, tired, joyful, contented.

Starting cornerback Erik Brown and three other players have been dismissed from the UTSA Roadrunners for a violation of team rules, a school spokesman said.
The others are cornerbacks Maurice Poullard, Ja'Len James and Tre Rosser.
The spokesman said UTSA coach Larry Coker has declined to elaborate on why he took the action.
Asked if it was related to academics, the spokesman said only, "violation of team rules."
The loss of Brown is a blow to the Roadrunners.
The former Judson standout intercepted four passes last fall to tie for the team lead with safety Triston Wade.
Generally regarded as the team's best one-on-one defender, Brown led the team with 12 pass breakups.
He sat out the season opener with an injury and then played the last 11 games for the Roadrunners, starting nine.
In all, Brown played in 19 of 22 games and started 15 in UTSA's first two seasons of football.
Brown had one year of eligibility remaining. He came to UTSA in 2011 after transferring from Fresno State.
Poullard, a junior transfer from Blinn Junior College, played eight games last fall and had two tackles.
He was not in the team's regular rotation of cornerbacks, which included Brown, Darrien Starling and Crosby Adams.
James and Rosser were freshman last fall who did not play.

London, England (CNN) -- "Alcohol ranks "most harmful" among a list of 20 drugs, beating out crack and heroin when assessed for its potential harm to the individual imbibing and harm to others, according to study results released by a British medical journal..."
Yeah, so what? The sun gives us cancer. All the good stuff is bad. If alcohol was good for us I'm sure we wouldn't have nearly as much fun drinking it. We all know you have to kill a few braincells to have a good time. Well that, and the five bucks for the six pack. I think that isn't too bad of a price for a night full of fun that you won't remember.

Celebrity Rapture
Parody and Digital Mediation in West African Popular Music
Dr. Jesse Shipley, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Haverford College
Friday, March 28th, 2014 at 1:30pm – 3:30pm
Thompson Library Rm 165
Performance/Politics is co-sponsoring this event with Department of African American and African Studies.
There is a curiously intimate relationship between parody and celebrity in the era of digital circulation. Parodies magnify and focus attention on power relations, inhabiting and inverting dominant sensibilities from within. The rise of satirical popular music across the globe shows that digital media have enhanced the potentials of parody. Computer production and social media flows of music, memes, and videos create complex networks of mediation that blur the lines between production, circulation, and consumption. The FOKN Bois, an irreverent international hip-hop duo based in Ghana, have built their fame through the potential and power of musical parody. They make outrageous songs that incite both fans and critics to respond with outrage, pleasure, or both. Their satirical style on and off stage has made them famous and infamous in African and alternative European arts circles, while also inciting critical discussions on issues like immigration, racism, and sexuality. This paper explores the significance of musical parody and celebrity for the making of digitally mediated communities. Jesse Weaver Shipley is an ethnographer and filmmaker. He is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College. His work focuses on performance, popular culture, music, youth, and technology in Ghana and recent African Diasporas. He is the author of Living the Hiplife: Celebrity and Entrepreneurship in Ghanaian Popular Music (Duke University Press 2013). Recent articles appear in journals including Public Culture, Journal of Popular Music Studies, American Ethnologist, Cultural Anthropology, and Social Text. Films include the feature documentary Living the Hiplife: Musical Life in the Streets of Accra (2007), the multi-channel video installation Black Star (2012), and Is It Sweet? (2013).
Dr. Shipley will also do a special presentation of his film "Living the Hiplife" 5:15pm – 7:00pm
Scott Laboratory, Room 48 (201 W. 19th Ave.)
For more information please contact, Dr. Devin Fergus at email@example.com or the Department of African American and African Studies at 292-3700.
Performance/Politics is a working group supported by the Humanities Institute at OSU.

I enjoy quilts inspired by events or global themes. This is Climate Change by Gail Garber, the first place winner in the large art quilt category at Fiber Arts Fiesta, which took place last month in Albuquerque.
Gail's description of her quilt, from the program, is "Textile expression of sudden changes in our warming world." It was quilted by Kris Vierra.
It's a great example of what's possible with paper foundation piecing.
Kris' quilting is the perfect complement to the quilt design.

text: Event DetailsEvent Dates: Thursday, January 12, 2017 - 4:00pmSeminar Location: JILA X317Speaker Name(s): Shengwang DuSpeaker Affiliation(s): Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Seminar Type/SubjectScientific Seminar Type: JILA Public SeminarEvent Details & Abstract: Reception in the Hbar at 3:30 pm The most popularly used optical microscope in cell bioimaging is the confocal microscope developed in the 20th century. However, as a traditional optical-wave microscope, the confocal microscopy suffers from the diffraction-limited imaging resolution (>=200 nm for visible light) and the severe phototoxicity that limits its application not suitable for live-cell imaging. In this talk, I will review the recent development of two advanced optical microscopy techniques in my group to overcome these two limitations: super-resolution microscopy and light-sheet microscopy. We have developed a user-friendly two(three)-color super-resolution localization microscope with a resolution <20 nm. For live-cell imaging, we have invented a 5D (3D space + 1D time + 1D color) line Bessel Sheet (LBS) microscope with lateral/axial resolution of 250 nm/350 nm, and 2 Hz temporal resolution per channel for a 3D volume of 30 umÍ30 umÍ30 um. Both microscopy technologies have been successfully commercialized and released to market. The works were supported by a grant from the Offices of the Provost, VPRG and Dean of Science, HKUST (HKUST VPRGO12SC02), and the Hong Kong Research Grants Council (Project Nos. HKUST12/CRF/13G, C6030-14E).

Welcome to the second of our series of blogs on accounting changes.
All companies have to file their accounts at Companies House each year. Micro, small and medium companies have the option of submitting a little, or significantly, less than their full accounts.
Currently, small companies have two alternative options, if they don't want to file their full accounts. They can file either:
- full accounts but remove the directors' report and/or profit and loss account, or
- abbreviated accounts
For most of our small company clients, we file abbreviated accounts – these are a simplified set of accounts, with no directors' report, no profit or loss, a stripped-back balance sheet, and a limited number of notes.
For accounting periods starting on or after 1 January 2016 (for full years, this means 31 December 2016 year ends onwards), this option of filing abbreviated accounts disappears. What this means for a small company is that, while the directors' report and profit and loss account still don't need to go to Companies House, the full balance sheet and all the notes will be filed – this is more disclosure on public record than this size of company will have had before.
This could mean that companies that qualify as "micro" but have previously prepared "small" accounts may wish to prepare "micro" accounts in future. However, there are differences between small and micro accounts which make it more appropriate for your business to prepare small accounts, even if it does qualify as micro. These differences will be explained in a future blog, so watch this space…. (Alternatively, if you are so excited about this that you can't wait, just give us a call on 0116 242 3400!)

Turbine Heat Transfer Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-3123
Turbine Heat Transfer Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX email@example.com
Detailed parametric study of film-cooling effectiveness was carried out on a turbine blade platform of a five-blade linear cascade. The parameters chosen were freestream turbulence intensity, upstream stator-rotor purge flow rate, discrete-hole film-cooling blowing ratio, and coolant-to-mainstream density ratio. The measurement technique adopted was temperature sensitive paint (TSP) technique. Two turbulence intensities of 4.2% and 10.5%; three purge flows between the range of 0.25% and 0.75% of mainstream flow rate; three blowing ratios between 1.0 and 1.8; and three density ratios between 1.1 and 2.2 were investigated. Purge flow was supplied via a typical double-toothed stator-rotor seal, whereas the discrete-hole film-cooling was accomplished via two rows of cylindrical holes arranged along the length of the platform. The inlet and the exit Mach numbers were 0.27 and 0.44, respectively. Reynolds number of the mainstream flow was 7.5 * 105 based on the exit velocity and chord length of the blade. Results indicated that platform film-cooling effectiveness decreased with turbulence intensity, increased with purge flow rate and density ratio, and possessed an optimum blowing ratio value.

I want to share something with you that I used to struggle with. Horny girls are hard to spot.
Some men will tell you they can smell it. I know I can. But that's a skill you learn after years of practice.
The problem is that women try to never look like they want sex. Partly, that's society's fault. Women are supposed to be pure and innocent. But there is also an allure to it. While a woman dripping with sex is hot as hell, there's more excitement in chasing girls who look like they'll never put out.
The myth of innocence
A typical girl does not show how horny she is. Whereas most men walk around oozing sexual frustration, a woman who needs to be fucked can make herself seem frigid as hell. She won't stare at a hot man's (or woman's) butt – that's something only men do. You definitely won't catch her checking out your crotch bulge.
That's not to say that she doesn't. Just that you'll never catch her.
But in my experience, the more innocent the woman, the more of a freak she is in bed. She's probably more of a freak than you are.
Think about it this way. You just want to dive right in, because you're blue-balled as all hell. Chances are, you'll settle for plain old sex. A wild woman dripping with sexuality is usually the same.
A placid woman with an angelic face, on the other hand, has already shown she can control her sexuality. When it comes to the act itself, she takes it at her own pace. This is exactly the kind of girl who'll talk dirty; who will tie you up and tease you until you cannot take it anymore. The kind of girl who can hold out on her own pleasure while she gives you a prostate massage and makes you writhe in almost unbearable ecstasy.
When I see this kind of girl and smell the sex she's trying so hard to hide, I can barely control myself before getting her to the bedroom. I always know she'll make it worth it, even if I have to work for the reward.
There is one tiny problem… How are you meant to find the girls dying for sex if they are so composed all the time?
How to Tell if a Girl is a Horny Sex FREAK!
Luckily for us, there are some pretty simple clues to identify a horny sex freak, even if she refuses to show it.
- Dilated pupils, flushed, heavy breathing: yes, there are physical signs that a girl is horny other than her wet vagina. Her heart rate will also rise, but unless you're taking her pulse, this won't help you.
- Fidgeting, playing with her hair: the sexual energy has to come out one way or another. While she won't show it in the obvious ways, it will manifest in unconscious, restless movements. If she's fondling a cylindrical object, it's basically guaranteed.
- Shoe fondling: she moves her foot in and out of her shoe. Suggestive much?
- She closes the conversation… towards you: when a girl chooses to direct all her body language at one guy, it means she's horny and knows exactly what she wants. If you're it, make your move.
- She's uneasy in your presence: a confident girl who starts to act unnaturally when she's around you could well be imagining what she's gonna do to you.
- She acts mean: this is a controversial one, because some girls are acting mean for a reason – they don't want you. But, if there are other signs that she's horny, her acting mean is a very good thing, and she'll only stop once you've given her what she wants.
Trigger it
While a woman who does not show any of these signs is probably not horny, that doesn't mean she can't get there. Sometimes you just have a feeling about a girl that she's a freak in bed. And if she was only horny, you could bring that side of her out.
So how do you trigger her inner freak???
You'll find tons of tips online about how to get a girl wet. But the fundamental one – which is also the one most often neglected – is to TAKE IT SLOW!!!
Remember I told you that girls who are quick to show their sexuality are also quick to get it over with as quickly as possible? That the girls who can control themselves are the ones who will surprise you with their kinky fantasies?
Well what better way to bring that out in her by doing the same. Take your time in working her up. Whisper softly and deeply into her ear. Touch her fingers. Sit close to her. Use sexual innuendos. Make your own quick breathing audible. The more you push her, the closer she comes to losing control.
Eventually, she'll take over for you. Her talents will kick in and you'll soon find yourself living out a fantasy you never knew you had. Sex with her will last hours, and be more satisfying than anything you've ever known.

"Who Lives sees much, who travels sees more." The Arab proverb is an appropriate title for this latest collection of essays published by the Association for the Study of Travel in Egypt and the Near East on its tenth anniversary. The desire to see what lay beyond the familiar landscapes of home shaped the lives of all the travelers discussed here. Their backgrounds and training as artists of one sort or another mean that they responded to what they saw in visual ways - in many cases taking the revelations of their travels home with them to inspire their own work.Who Travels Sees More: Artists, Architects and Archaeologists Discover Egypt and the Near East, was published 2007 under ISBN 9781842172735 and ISBN 1842172735.[read more]

The extensive bibliography of medicine — what it's like to be a health care professional, what it's like to be a patient, what the experience of preparing for a career in health care is like — provides an important complement to the students' own experiences, in which they draw on their own encounters with illness and those of their families, activities in service to those who are ill, and time spent "shadowing" and talking with professionals in the students' prospective careers.
This list of references, always a work in progress, should provide ample material for enriching one's knowledge of the professions. The list is long and diverse, and the advisor can be of help in steering students to those references that may be of most help to the individual student.

Despite slumping sales and continuing financial turmoil in Europe, the third quarter still turned out to be a profitable one for U.S. automakers.
Both General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. saw earnings slip during the period compared with last year, but strong results from their operations in the U.S., and those in China for GM, allowed the automakers to post profits. Chrysler Group, the smallest of the Detroit Three, reported earnings nearly double last year's level.
Wall Street took notice.
GM shares rose $2.23, or 10%, to $25.51, near the automaker's highest price since April. Shares continued to rise in after-market trading.
Ford climbed 85 cents, or 8%, to $11.16, its highest level since May. Chrysler is majority owned by Fiat and doesn't have shares that trade, but its 80% profit increase to $381 million in the quarter enabled the Italian automaker also to post a profit for the period.

Lets head back :)
A small crowd had gathered at the top of the steps at the refuge to watch us leave. It was evident that what we were doing was something that was pretty rare, and we were filled with a new excitement, one of hitting some great singletrack, all 9km of it, and then a nice Tagine and shower at the end. After the disappointment of not reaching the summit, we were due some payback for all the pain endured and energy spent climbing this mountain.
So, without further ado we cranked down the stairs of the refuge and onto the singletrack. All was going fine for about 300m until I came down pretty hard on the back of my saddle and the saddle fell off. When we stopped for a look, we realised that the saddle cluster that holds the saddle rails in place had been bent, along with the saddle rails. We packed the rails up with tape and reassembled the seatpost but it only stayed in place for about another 100m. So, the final 9km with no seatpost. Great. I didn't expect to be sitting down much anyway, but it's always nice to have a rest when you can.
About another 500m on I noticed that there was air escaping my rear tyre. There was a huge dent in the rim, but after sloshing the tubeless liquid in the tyre around a bit, it stopped hissing and we re-inflated the tyre and pushed on. I'd been running about 30psi in the rear due to the loose dusty trails the day before so I put in about 35psi to deal with the sharper rocks on today's descent.
This trail was rough and rocky. Very rocky. In fact by far the rockiest trail I have ever ridden, and as we had come up the same trail in the morning, we knew that this would continue all the way to Imlil.
Then Brad crashed. Again. This was crash number 3 of the day, following the 2 on the Toubkal summit descent. Over the bars and down the side of the trail. A little shaken and with bruised confidence (not to mention body) we pressed on. After crash number 4 he realised his fork was still set at 120mm, instead of 160mm! The less said about that the better…..
As we lost altitude the temperature slowly got warmer. Our speed however remained painfully slow as we picked our way through rock garden after rock garden and walked over the nasty bits. But we remembered that the trail smoothed out somewhat after Chammharouch… Out of the valley the white boulder of Chammharouch slowly appeared and we couldn't wait to see the other side of this halfway point in our journey. It was clear by now that we would struggle to make it back to the Riad by sundown.
LINK:-Some footage of descent.
Thankfully the trail grew a little wider with more line options so the speed crept up a bit. Now the riding was becoming enjoyable. If only we could have started this downhill section fresh rather than struggling with dropping energy levels and fading light. Down we went until we saw the river bed that marked the end of the descent proper. Now we had to ride across this river bed of baby head sized loose stones, but surprisingly the Mojo's suspension dug in and found grip where I didn't think it would be possible and it was almost ok. If I had a seat it would have been better….
Now there was just the walnut groves to negotiate, however the light had dropped significantly and under the trees we couldn't see a thing.
We stopped at a Gite to ask for directions and were directed to a dirt road down to Imlil (about 4km) and would then have to ride back up the hill to the Riad. I had seen the road from our Riad before and knew that it switched back down the side of the mountain on the other side of the river to us. But with no knowledge of any further junctions, and the fact that it was now dark, I made the call to get a taxi. The bartering began. 600 Durhams for a taxi for the 2 of us to get home. £60! I don't think so. So I started at 100 and eventually settled on 250Durhams. It was after all now 21.15, 13 hours after we started our ascent, and we were knackered. Absolutely knackered. There is no better word to describe how we felt.
What it's all about.
We got back to the Riad just after 21:30 and by 22:00 we had a huge bowl of lamb coucous in front of us and some soup. Houssine and Abdul had outdone themselves once again. Food first, then Houssine offered his private Hammam to relax our tired bodies. Bliss.
Tomorrow we would do nothing we vowed. Absolutely nothing.
All I remember after this was my muscles protesting loudly as I turned onto my side in the night, after waking Brad with my snoring once again.

Gathering festival explores Irish genealogy
Details for the largest Genealogy event during The Gathering have been finalised.
Speakers include Michael Gandy, Editor of The Genealogist's Magazine; Irish and UK Workhouse expert Peter Higginbotham; Catriona Crowe, Head of Special Projects at the National Archives of Ireland; and Steven and Kit Smyrl, RTE's Dead Money.
Meanwhile, Fiona Fitzsimons, Director of Eneclann will present a talk on pre 18th Century genealogy sources; while and Eileen O Dúill of the Association of Professional Genealogists in Ireland will explore the tracing of American relatives.
According to Conference Secretary, Clara Hoyne: "Anyone who has Irish blood, a link to Ireland or even just a love of our country is invited to join us in Clare on Saturday 6 April 2013 for our Genealogy Conference, 'Gathering the Scattering'. This conference will take place at the Temple Gate Hotel, Ennis and will be preceded by a week of genealogy-based talks and events including a tour of the Clare Local Studies Library, Ennis town walk, a tour of Ennis Friary and two evening lectures, one on traditional Irish music by Kilfenora Ceili Band member Tim Collins and another on Irish soldiers in the British Army by Army Historian Liam Curran."
'Gathering the Scattering' will also afford members of the public the opportunity to hold personal meetings with Genealogists who will be equipped with Army records and American records. The 'Meet the Genealogist' sessions take place on April 5th from 4 to 7pm in the Temple Gate Hotel.
The Festival will also feature two film screenings in the Banner Suite of the Old Ground Hotel on Tuesday 3rd April at 7pm. A Room in Air was filmed in the Auxiliary workhouse in Ballyvaughan in 2012. The film by Frank Golden, which runs for 22 minutes, explores the way in which the famine proved to be a psychic and emotional fault line for Ireland and its people. The second film, The Poorhouse, a film made by Frank Stapleton and screened on RTE in 1996 runs for 30 minutes and is an evocation of the Famine period in a Cavan workhouse.
Meanwhile, Eric Shaw of the Clare Roots Society will launch his new book, 'Memorials of Past Lives – the stories behind the wall- memorials in St Columba's Church of Ireland in Ennis' on Thursday 4th April at 7.30 p.m.

Algeria ruled out terrorism as the cause of the plane crash that killed 118 people last Thursday in northern Mali.
Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal on Saturday (July 26th) said that "targeting the plane with a missile at a height of 10,000 metres is difficult and requires sophisticated equipment".
The Air Algerie plane leased from Spanish company Swiftair disappeared July 24th in bad weather less than an hour after leaving Ougadougou for a 4-hour flight to Algiers.
There had been concerns that the plane might have been brought down by terrorists, especially as the disaster occurred soon after violence erupted at the Tripoli airport.
The day before the plane crash, El Khabar reported that Algeria had closed air corridors for civilian planes to and from Libya.
The disappearance of at least 11 civilian planes at the Tripoli airport reportedly prompted the decision.
Algerian authorities were said to have been concerned that following the clashes at the airport between rival Libyan militias, the missing planes could end up in the hands of al-Qaeda-linked Islamist groups for use in terror attacks.
Now that the wreckage has been found, a formal investigation will reveal the cause of the accident. Algerian Transport Minister Amar Ghoul said.
"No judgment can be made about the cause of the plane crash," he said.
He added, however, that "initial analyses by technicians and experts" supported the "bad weather theory".
Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and France joined Algeria in the search for the plane. Rescue teams located one of the two black boxes Friday morning. The United Nations mission in Mali (MINUSMA) found the other on Saturday.
An armed group in Mali was the first to report the location of the ill-fated craft, Algerian Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra said.
Algeria seized the chance of the presence of some Touareg groups and Malian officials for the Algiers peace talksto ask for help in searching for the plane, the minister told reporters.
President Bouteflika on Friday declared three days of mourning and was following the case closely, Lamamra said.
He noted that a high-ranking Algeria delegation went to Mali to follow up on the case.
Meanwhile, the Algerian judiciary on Saturday said that in co-operation with other countries, it would conduct an investigation into the cause of the crash.
Air Algerie reported the plan carried 50 French, 24 Burkinabe, eight Lebanese, six Algerian, six Spanish, five Canadian, four German and two Luxembourg nationals.
"The plane just broke into piece as it crashed," French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said in a radio interview on Saturday.
"We believe the plane crashed because of bad weather conditions, although no theory can be ruled out for the time being," he added.

Does Robin Thicke even listen to the words that come out of his mouth? It's like he knows what he's supposed to say, to be the good, contrite ex-husband who is desperate to win his wife back, but he's sure as heck not acting like it.
He's acting like a delusional, double-talking blockhead, whose woe-is-me tribute album to his doomed marriage probably has his ex-wife Paula Patton rolling her eyes. Take, for example, an interview he did with New York's Hot 97 radio station Tuesday. For nearly 20 minutes, the "Get Her Back" singer talked about the state of his failed marriage, including how he prefers to keep things "private."
Dude won't shut up about how much he wants her back, writes an entire album dedicated to her, and then has the audacity to say he prefers to keep things private? Gah.
I try to keep most of that private, but, I haven't seen her for four months. If you've been together that long, you kinda became adults together instead of being adults and then meeting. But maybe a year or two off, we'll become our own people without each other and then it will be meant to be.
I hate to break it to Mr. Thicke, but if your wife doesn't speak to you for four months after more than 20 years by your side ... she's done. She's done and likely has been for some time now.
More from The Stir: Robin Thicke's #AskThicke Q&A Backfires Big Time
Anyway, Mr. Privacy talked about his studio album Paula, which dropped last week. It contains tracks with sentimental heartsick names like "Love Can Grow Back," "Too Little Too Late," and "Still Madly Crazy." (Gag me.) He said, "The album is exactly what happens when you lose the love of your life and you're trying to figure it out in your head."
He continued:
How am I going to move on and get through it all? We just weren't happy together anymore and I still had so much I wanted to apologize for, and things I wanted to take responsibility for, so that's pretty much what the album's about.
My music is my therapy ... when I make these songs and I listen back to them, they make me feel good about myself because at least I'm admitting my faults and trying to become a better man, better person, better father.
So wait, did he write the album for Paula, or because it's "therapy" that helped him feel better about himself? And he's not admitting his faults -- he's acting like a sad sorry sack who's patiently waiting for his wife to come back while bemoaning the pain she's caused him, even though he knows he didn't treat her right.
Try to wrap your brain around those blurred lines.
The singer does not seem to understand that his wife left him and she's not coming back. "[Cheating] is not why we're apart," he said. "We're apart because we just couldn't be together anymore for a while. There's a hundred different reasons, there isn't just one. There's a long list ... I changed, and I got a little too selfish, a little too greedy, and little too full of myself."
He and Lamar Odom should join a support group for ex-husbands who completely don't get it when their wives finally snap from years of their selfish ass-hattery.
Do you think Robin Thicke needs to let go of Paula Patton?

Transport chaos after storms lash Britain
Britain's transport system is reeling in the wake of killer storms that disrupted road, rail, sea and air travel as strong winds and rain lashed the country. Gales of 99 miles per hour (158 kilometres per hour) that hit some parts of the coast have now largely swept away from Britain, leaving damage which insurers estimate will cost millions of pounds.
Richard Heard, 49, the managing director of Birmingham airport, was killed when a tree branch smashed into his car windscreen.
At Heathrow, the number of hourly flights allowed in and out of the west London airport were limited on Thursday.
British Airways had to scrap 104 domestic and short-haul flights. Other Heathrow carriers affected included bmi. Flights that were able to leave were subject to delays of about half an hour.
BA's regional carrier BA Connect had to axe 26 flights in and out Manchester airport because of the bad weather.
Ryanair had to axe more than 30 flights and planes were unable to take off from Liverpool John Lennon Airport between 1.30pm and 4pm due to high winds.

July 12, 2012 02:00 ET
HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwire - July 12, 2012) - Caza Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Caza" or the "Company") (TSX:CAZ)(AIM:CAZA) is pleased to provide an operational update on the Bradley 29 Prospect in Eddy County, New Mexico, and to announce the sale of its San Jacinto Property in Midland County, Texas.
The Bradley "29" Fed Com No. 3H horizontal well (the "Well") reached total measured depth of approximately 12,690 feet in early June 2012, was successfully fracture stimulated in the 2nd Bone Spring sand on June 14th and is currently flowing back hydrocarbons and frac fluids at a gross rate of approximately 900 barrels (bbls) per day. The Well has averaged 361 bbls of oil and 524 thousand cubic feet of natural gas (Mcfg) per day over the past seven days, which is 449 bbls of oil equivalent (Boe). The peak rate day to date was 399 bbls of oil and 521 Mcfg, which equals 486 Boe, and 488 bbls of fluid. As the Well cleans up, the ratio of hydrocarbons to frac fluids continues to climb, which is expected, and this may also translate into higher producing rates for oil and gas once the majority of the frac fluid is recovered. Caza has a 20% working interest and a 15% net revenue interest in the Well.
The Bone Spring formation in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico, contains multiple potential pay zones for oil and liquids-rich natural gas. Caza's current prospects in the horizontal Bone Spring play are Lynch, Forehand Ranch, Lennox, Copperline, Mad River, Bradley 29, Two Mesas, Azotea Mesa and Quail Ridge. The Company has acquired approximately 4,000 net acres in the play to date.
Caza is also pleased to announce the successful sale of the San Jacinto property, which includes the Caza Elkins 3401 and 3402 wells. Management decided to divest the property in order to take advantage of attractive Wolfberry property sale prices and enable the Company to participate in more favorable investment opportunities. The Company was able to realize a fair price at yesterday's Oil & Gas Asset Clearinghouse Auction, and the disposal will complete on or before July 31, 2012. The price received was $6.1MM and exceeded Caza's internal matrix for return on investment and capital employment. Caza intends to use the proceeds to further existing assets, specifically in the Bone Spring play in southeast New Mexico, and to pursue new opportunities in order to add additional shareholder value through continued investment in suitable properties.
The Company had an 85% working interest in the Caza Elkins 3401 well with a 63.75% net revenue interest. In all subsequent wells on the San Jacinto property, including the Caza Elkins 3402 well and the remainder of the leases, Caza had a 75% working interest and a 56.25% net revenue interest. The property is currently producing approximately 120 Boe per day net to the Company. The Company's reserve report prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. dated December 31, 2011, gave the property proved reserves of 4.09 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe) and proved plus probable reserves of 5.26 Bcfe net to Caza.
Caza's management regularly conducts on-going reviews and appraisal programs with regard to both its existing asset base and new, unsolicited opportunities. Some deals present themselves in the form of asset swaps or farm-ins, while others include the potential acquisition of multiple properties and existing corporate entities. Caza remains actively involved in reviewing and grading such opportunities on an on-going basis, and management remains keen to continue growing the Company's asset base and production profile using a variety of means.
W. Michael Ford, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"We are very pleased with the successful results from the Bradley well. The producing rates are as predicted and will increase Caza's oil to gas production ratio, while adding additional cash flow and reserve value. The success at Bradley is a good start for Caza in the horizontal Bone Spring play, and the predictable nature of the play bodes well for Caza's future Bone Spring projects.
We are also very pleased with the sale of the San Jacinto property. This sale has permitted Caza to realize the increased value created at San Jacinto, which will be utilized in more favorable investment opportunities. At present, we are exploring the options and opportunities available to us, but we do intend to build on the success at the Bradley property and begin drilling the Company's Bone Spring properties in the near future. We continue to prepare Copperline, Forehand Ranch and Lennox prospects, in that order, for drilling."

Once a year, time has come. Usually I present myself as a very European person, influenced by all the countries I have lived in, but this rule is vehemently broken in October: I am talking about the Oktoberfest!
Although I didn't make it all the way to Munich this year (lack of money, lack of time...), I managed to jump on a car to Stuttgart with some of my best friends in order to attend the Wasen. Never heard of that one? It's a slightly smaller Oktoberfest, but all about beer, music and fun as well. As usual, we danced on the benches, drank liters of Radler (lemonade & beer), sang German folk songs, went on crazy rides and met a bunch of friends and family.
In fact, I was beyond happy to wear my Dirndl again that keeps hiding in the back of my wardrobe throughout the year. As we stayed two days, I had to think of an easy way to change my styles: for the first day, I therefore took a yellow apron and red lipstick while I totally went for the girly look with a pink apron and pearls the next one. Besides my personal obsession with Dirndls, I couldn't help but analyse the other girls' Dirndls all the time, like seriously ALL the time. If I get a new one, I want one like this or a dark red one that I saw in the tents.
While the weekend was the perfect way to leave all the stress behind us, we got hit by it even harder by Monday. You cannot believe how happy I am to only have one week left until holidays. So long, have a great week!

There are several types of diets available today, and they each are based on their own theories. Some of the top diets followed today are given below.
One of the most popular diets includes the 'Fit For Life Diet'. This is one of the most notable diets because of its uniqueness. It is unique because of the fact that it has instructions that are quite different to other diets. This is because this diet advises one to eat nothing but fruits from the time one awakens till noon. In this diet it is said that nothing else should be combined when consuming fruits. This is because of the belief that when foods are combined or consumed inappropriately, they become rotten and do not benefit individuals, and they may develop into toxins.
For lunch, one is supposed to have a carbs-based diet. No other food substances should be consumed with it. This is because of the belief that combining food leads to toxins building up or incomplete digestion. For dinner, one is supposed to consume a protein-based meal. This means that no other food substance should be included, as food combination will lead to the food not being digested properly.
Having high protein means that one is only supplied with body building material, and carbohydrates and fats are reduced. It is because of this that one is believed to lose weight easily.
Another popular diet is the high Protein diet. This is a diet that it consists of protein as the main food substance. Other food substances are lowered for intake. This means that it is opposed to what is mentioned in the food pyramid, therefore is not a balanced diet.
Another diet that is popular is the Cabbage diet. It is a diet based on cabbage, and one that is believed to be successful at reducing weight in quick time. It is a liquid diet which means that one would be able to consume a great deal of the diet. The Cabbage diet is such that the more one has, the greater his or her chances of losing weight are, and this is because of the fat burning qualities vegetables, such as cabbage, have.
In addition to this, there is the 'Eat Right For Your Type' Diet. This is a diet that is based on one's blood type. It may sound odd as compared to other dieting strategies, but it must be said that research has proven this method to be successful with quite a few people. The foundation of the food burning in the body is believed to be associated with one's blood type, as a person's blood type has different qualities when it comes to burning food substances. Particular foods in appropriate quantities are advised, and on the basis of this one may lose, gain or maintain his or her weight.
It is believed that this diet is one that lowers one's consumption of carbohydrates. It is believed that carbohydrates are responsible for a person's increased weight, and that by cutting down on carbs, one may lose weight. Since carbohydrates are the main suppliers of calories, it must be asserted that minimum calorie requirements are supplied by fats and proteins rather than carbs as its intake is lowered to a minimum.
It must be noted that while following each of these diets, one has to be alert and note if there are any side effects. In case there are, the diet must be discontinued. The side effects may occur due to an imbalance of a diet disagreeing with a person.
Combine all list diet above with regular workouts and taking the right supplements like phen24 or clenbutrol. This will speed up your diet process.

|The Whole Concept Map
|Top Left
Concept mapping is generally done with information in boxes or circles connected by lines that are labeled. This type of activity is easily done in both Science and Social Studies classes, I usually use them in the Science classes
that I teach. However, this year I decided to have my basic math kids concept map our entire Fractions Unit.
Now for all of my basic math students this is the first time they had ever done a concept map, and many of them struggled through it and they came out a mess. Which for me is GREAT! They are suppose to be messy.
|Bottom Left
These are pictures of the one I had created. I will update this post later with some student created concept maps, but some were hard to read/understand in person, and it was way worse in a picture.
In the past I have always done them on paper, and many times I still do. I enjoy hanging them up around my room and having students keep adding to it each day.
Two years ago I got a classroom set of netbook computers and we were asked to implement them into our classrooms as much as possible. I started off by taking something I already do in my classroom and do it on the computer instead.
Concept mapping was the first thing I started with.
|Top Right
My students prefer those three over any of the others because they can insert pictures into them. Many of the concept mapping/mind mapping tools out there don't allow you to put pictures into them. These three are also extremely easy to use. Also some of them limit how many maps you can make with a free account. After awhile a student can delete their old ones but mine like to keep theirs.

Another Reformed Christian Comes Home
Update: It appears Tyler has decided to delete his blog. I suspect it has to do with the vitriol and hostility he has experienced from those of his former communion. Jason Stellman has experienced a similar fall out. Once again this reinforces for me the reality that if your theology says that your personal behavior (including vitriolic and hateful anonymous com boxing) can't affect where you spend eternity, you feel entitled to get away with all manner of name calling and "Raca" calling.
Jesus said that whoever calls his brother "raca" must answer to the Sanhedrin and if he calls them "fool", is in danger of hell fire. It appears that scripture doesn't apply to Christians who believe they can't lose their salvation. Instead they believe Calvin's theology trumps Jesus own words!
You have to seriously question a belief system among Christians that allows them to behave in such an ungodly manner when one of their own chooses (using their own private interpretation of scripture) a different theological system to adhere to. Btw, what the heck is a necrophiliac heretic?
