Interview: Iñigo Urretxua
As a gifted directeur sportif, he's also been at work with the stars of today, memorably driving the team car at last year's Paris-Nice. Basque Cycling News caught up with the DS and physical trainer, quizzing him about the year that was, the team's recruitment, and his own short-lived, yet successful, career on the bike.
Question: Congratulations on an historic season - Imanol Estévez's win in the Torneo Lehendakari must have been satisfying. Was it a surprise that a first-year rider like Estévez won that race series?
Answer: I don't think it was a surprise - every rider develops at his own pace, and there's always someone who contest races in the first year. Others need more time to adapt, and improve year by year, step by step.
Q: Is he one of the most talented riders to have been at the team?
A: There's been a lot of talented riders at this team since its inception in 2008. All of them are different, both in their way of being and in their way of riding.
This win in Lemoiz propelled Estévez towards the overall Lehenadakari triumph.
Q: Speaking of the team; you won to races, were second in the team classification in the Torneo Lehendakari and, of course, won the overall with Estévez and was third with Larrinaga. Are you pleased?
A: I think we have to be content with the team's season. Every year's different: the age and experience of the riders, as well as the type of riders we have. The important thing for us is that the riders grow personally and as bike riders. I don't think you can value a team's season on its number of wins - one should rather look at how we started the season and how we finished it, in every aspect.
Q: From the team's perspective, what could have been done better? What are the team's main weaknesses?
A: This year we had a very reduced roster - only 12 riders - and as a consequence were a bit squeezed facing the whole campaign. Sometimes some couldn't take part because of injuries and exams as well. Therefore, we'll tackle 2013 with 18 riders.
It's also important to remember that Eduardo Ardaiz's injury was a shame, as he's been off the bike for a year and a half and hasn't been able to progress and develop as other amateur cyclists.
Q: Speaking of the year to come, who's joining?
A: Besides Óscar González, we've signed six: Álvaro Trueba (who'll embark on his second year in the category), and Aitor Morales, Eder Saenz de Ocariz, Bernat Font, Noel Gil and Alberto Barrón, everyone making the step up from the juniors.
You can read more about the team's transfer dealings here.
Q: And who's leaving?
A: Jon Larrinaga, who'll next year be with the new Basque team in the Continental category, and Damien Garcia, who left in the middle of this season for personal reasons.
Q: Do you think Larrinaga will be successful at Orbea (or what it will be called in 2013)? What type of rider is he?
A: Jon is a very strong and consistent rider. We think he can do a great job for the team, but it's too early to say what type of races he'll do best in.
Q: in 2013, Euskaltel won't be a part of the Fundación Euskadi. Does this change affect Naturgas?
A: Still, to this day, the bonds between Euskaltel and the foundation aren't severed. They're currently in negotiations, and we'll wait and see what the outcome is. We're optimistic.
Q: Speaking of Euskaltel, what do you make of the them abandoning their philosophy?
A: Man, Euskaltel will stay on and continue to back and prioritize the Basque riders. What's happening is that, at times, we'll need foreign riders to reach the minimum requirement. Therefore, from the Fundación Ciclista Euskadi, we'll continue to work with the young Basque riders.
Q: Naturgas Energía have signed more and more riders form Iparralde the last few years. How are they progressing?
A: The last years we haven't signed a single rider from France, now we have the two we signed a couple of years ago, Karl Baudron and Loïc Chetout. We hope they'll make a big leap next year.
A Loïc Chetout in good spirits might be set for a breakthrough 2013.
Q: How will next year's calendar be?
A: As we'll have more riders next year, we'll expand our calendar and make a financial effort to leave Euskadi to participate in other races.
Q: As a sports director, what type of contact do you have with the riders during the week? Do you speak to them a lot, or only during the races at the weekends?
A: I'm also the physical trainer at the team, so I'm not only in contact with the riders at the weekends. We speak during the week to adjust their training, to discuss how they're feeling, doubts etc.
Q: Before we conclude, can you tell us a bit about your own cycling career? You were in Olarra, right, and won the Subida a Gorla?
A: My career as a rider was a nice one. I came from mountain biking and switched to the road in my third year as an amateur. I struggled to adapt, above all with riding in the bunch, keeping my place and to read the race, but I managed to show my good climbing abilities and got some good results. In addition, I got to ride some races with the pros with the national team for amateurs.
It was a time when there were a lot of high-quality riders, and I didn't have the chance to turn professional. I thus decided to leave cycling and resume my studies. During my amateur career I finished my Physical Education degree, and once I stopped riding, I started studying for a degree in Physical Activity and Sport.
Lastly, I'd like to say thank you to Miguel Madariaga for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Fundación Ciclista Euskadi. I'm still here, I'm proud of it, and I'm happy to be able to work with that I like and what I've studied - which in today's situation is a lottery.

Donkey tips his nose up to the soft-lipped
whispers that rise from the
worship of his bucksome behind;
the faint smell of whisky is nothing new.
His back legs have just increased by two.
Donkey has come precisely for this,
stayed out late, strayed from the gang
to slink through the centre of town, stopping
for a scratch on every dim-lit corner,
eyeing up the animal-friendly crowd.
Sirens diminish to elsewhere,
Drum & Bass bangs across the rooftops
but nothing disturbs the tenderness of man
and his by-the-hour beast. Peaceful congress
such as this is rare, Donkey concedes, though in truth
his friend hasn't even touched the sides.
You might recoil at the flimsiness of Donkey's backbone
but Donkey never gets praise like this back home:
Precious darling / amore mio / sweet-skinned creature and not / untight in the right light / I adore you Tesoro / I adore my donkey love / you beast / you poor worn beast / my donkey love / my precious donkey life
The night traffic doesn't slow, there's no rubbernecking
Donkey and his pal, the couple smoking only cross because
there isn't room to pass, neither looks back
to see the street beacons flash in time
to Donkey's six-legged mechanical sway.
Well, apart from a long lunch outside the greengrocers,
Donkey's done bugger all else all day.

Following the announcement that Dark Souls Remastered will be coming to Nintendo Switch, publisher Namco Bandai have confirmed that the game will also be releasing on Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC via Steam at the same time as the Switch version.
For those on PlayStation 4 Pro or Xbox One X, Dark Souls Remastered will feature 4K upscaling to give players a much higher resolution image. The remaster will also run at 60fps. Considering the original game ran at 720p and half the framerate, this is a pretty nice upgrade.
The PC version will feature native 4K visuals as well if you've got a rig hearty enough to run it.

Clay Siegall Discusses About Genetic Testing And Its Benefits To The Development Of Cancer Therapies
Cancer has led to the death and disability of millions of people across the globe. This has made it to be one of the world's most feared diseases. The most common forms of the disease are prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women. However, several other types of cancer continue to affect many people globally. Cases of colon cancer and skin cancer have continued to grow at a very fast rate. According to Clay Siegall, early diagnosis of cancer increases chances of treating it. Clay is the co-founder of Seattle Genetics.
The field of cancer research has greatly benefited from the advancement of technology. With current fast genetic testing, the cost of genetic sequencing has significantly reduced. This has enabled cancer research institutes to research further using new techniques of diagnosing and treating cancer. To this end, there has been a significant improvement in the efficiency of new cancer therapies.
The human DNA code is made up of over 20,000 genes. The arrangement of these genes is unique to every individual. One's DNA code is a result of his or her ancestry. Although the process of extracting the code remained extremely difficult, scientific advancements have reversed this situation. The complexity of the code still amazes scientists. In addition, it is not well understood how it affects the development of certain diseases. The process of unraveling this complex system is already ongoing. Moreover, the code is used to diagnose cancer. The information obtained from the codes is used to create targeted cancer therapies.
Cancer comes in various forms. Notably, the way in which each type affects an individual varies from one person to another. One's genetic composition, hormones, and other biological makeup influence this process. The difference caused by these factors can result into an individual responding well to a treatment while the other fails. With genetic sequencing, this problem is eliminated. More people are able to benefit significantly from their treatments.
About Clay Siegall
Clay Siegall is a genetic expert. He is the chief executive officer of a Seattle-based corporation, Seattle Genetics. In addition, Siegall serves as the company's president. Clay uses his expertise in the field to help in advancing cancer therapies. He mainly focuses on creating targeted cancer therapies using genetic and DNA mapping.
The executive is the holder of a bachelor's degree in zoology from the renowned George Washington University. Formerly, he worked for the National Cancer Institute and Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute.

South Florida Fair
South Florida Fairgrounds, 9067 Southern Boulevard, West Palm Beach, FL 33421
17 Days of Pure Fun
January in The Palm Beaches turns up the volume fun-wise when the South Florida Fair rolls into town. One of the top fairs in Florida, this fried-foods, tribute-band, dance-party extravaganza packs 17 days of pure delights with the thermostat set at perfect fair-going temperatures: 70s during the day and 60s at night.
For more than 100 years, the South Florida Fair has been entertaining people at the South Florida Fairgrounds. The Palm Beach County fair event draws in hundreds of thousands of locals and tourists alike. In 2018, dozens of big-name concerts rocked the fair scene including Grammy winner Matthew West, Grand Funk Railroad, Chris Lane, Atlanta Rhythm Section and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. In all, visitors experienced more than 200 carnival games, thrilling amusement rides, and the best fair food in the region to fill their winter vacation days.
Rides, Rides, Rides
New in 2018 was the Midway Sky Eye, a 155-foot-high portable observation wheel (North America's largest!) with 36 gondolas for amazing views and romantic cuddles. Little ones can enjoy rides on Bulgy the Whale, Kiddie Bumper Boats, (tiny) Monster Trucks and dozens more while the teenagers get their thrills on the MegaDrop, Alpine Bobs, Zombie Apocalypse and dozens more spinning, whirling rides.
Fantastic Fair Food
When you're not spinning and whirling, sink your teeth into the sweetness of a doughnut and the salty goodness of a burger in one bite with a Porky's Doughnut Burger. Or why not cross breakfast and lunch into one tasty treat with Bianco's Frosted Flakes Chicken on a Stick? Had enough of made-for-the-fair fare? There's also a New Orleans Food Court where you'll find Louisiana favorites like Bourbon chicken, jambalaya and even a crawfish boil. Finish it all off New Orleans-style with some tasty, freshly fried beignets.
Parades, Cover Bands and Racing Pigs
Daily parades, including the "New Orleans on Ice" Ice Parades Show, transport visitors to Mardi Gras and dazzle them with ice-skating moves. On Saturday, January 27, the best rock tribute bands competed, including Crush N' Roses (a Guns N' Roses tribute band), Smokin' (for fans of Boston) and ZZ's Best (an homage to ZZ Top). Just about anything goes at the South Florida Fair: Pigs literally fly around the racetrack at pork-defying speeds in pursuit of a handful of Oreos at the daily Hambone Express 3 event.
More Events at the South Florida Fairgrounds
Florida's rich history comes to life at Yesteryear Village within the South Florida Fairgrounds year 'round. Whether you're visiting during the South Florida Fair or not, spend a few hours exploring life as it was before 1940 as told by live period actors in original and replicated buildings including an old schoolhouse, a farm, a blacksmith shop, general store and period homes. The village is open year-round Thursday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Fast cars, cocktails and live music bring thousands of people together each April at the South Florida Fairgrounds for the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction. This event showcases millions of dollars' worth of beautifully restored classic cars.
Beyond the South Florida Fair
The South Florida Fairgrounds aren't far from Royal Palm Beach Pines Natural Area, where you can enjoy the more peaceful surroundings of 350 acres that are home to white ibis, red-tailed hawks and great blue herons once the sights and sounds of the fair have tired your family out.
Just a little farther west of the South Florida Fairgrounds, lions, rhinos, zebras and giraffes roam the Lion Country Safari park. America's first drive-through wildlife preserve, it allows up-close experiences often only found on African safaris.

Keith Richards helped illustrate the vulnerability of Tony Soprano
By NICK TAVARES
STATIC and FEEDBACK Editor
The marriage of music and visuals is a tricky one. Whether it's television or film, the right pairing of an image with a song or an instrumental can take an already memorable scene and turn it legendary. Or, it can come off as a lazy cop-out. Like anything else with art, it's not easy.
The Sopranos, through its six-season run, made incredible use of music. The songs chosen, whether as soundtrack music or embedded within the show, always successfully accented a scene or shed light on a character's disposition. Frank Sinatra's "It Was a Very Good Year" scores a montage that sets the tone for season two, while a live Dean Martin album makes a hilarious appearance at the end of season four.
And, in perhaps the most poignant musical moment in the show's run, the Rolling Stones' "Thru and Thru" is cast as the link through all the pieces of Tony Soprano's life, broken and otherwise, in a gripping final episode of season two. The weariness in Keith Richard's singing voice is underscored by the knowledge of the many years of hard living he endured to reach that moment where it was even possible to write those words and sing and play that song.
Of all our long-lasting rock and roll icons, Richards is one of the more fully realized characters to grace stages and records. He's in possession of a supernatural understanding of rhythm and support, writing hundreds of memorable songs, turning a phrase on the guitar, ripping strings off and recasting his instrument while side-stepping the traditional "guitar hero" persona of some of his peers.
He's also had very public and very real struggles with substance abuse, run-ins with the law, battles with bandmates and tragedy in his immediate family. He's not a role model, but he is a human of remarkable achievement, and even if he doesn't deserve outright adoration, he does deserve acknowledgement for his journey and his accomplishments. If the subject matter doesn't deal with it directly, the weight of all those years are present on "Thru and Thru."
And that song floated in and out of The Sopranos' season two finale, one that saw its protagonist make a decision that went beyond friendship and into business. I'm not one for spoilers, so if you haven't seen it, I recommend starting at the beginning and running from there, but the song surveys the scene of his daughter's graduation, the carnage his decisions have wrought, the signs that his business is carrying on as usual, cutting down anything and anyone that stands in its way.
And as Tony Soprano, there stands James Gandolfini, cooly smoking a cigar with his world at once expanding and crumbling around him. It takes a brilliant actor to properly convey so many emotions, and that moment as much as any was a triumph for Gandolfini as he took the art of television acting beyond what was happening on the big screen.
Gandolfini died on Wednesday of a heart attack in Rome. I was in the press box at TD Garden before Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Bruins and Blackhawks for my other writing duties when the news of his death ripped through the seats. I was stunned; he was only 51 years old. And sitting halfway through a re-watching of the entire series (I had just finished season three the night before), his death hit that much harder.
The folks who run the Garden PA responded by playing Alabama 3's "Woke Up This Morning," the theme that became inextricably linked with the series as Soprano made his way from New York back into his kingdom in northern New Jersey. But the song I thought of first, after processing the news of a fallen artist as much as I could, was Richards' "Thru and Thru." More than just becoming the audio key to one of the more memorable episodes in the show's run, there was enough of a link in the song's character to Tony's that made the choice natural. The folks running The Sopranos knew how to use music. And they found a kindred spirit in that late-period Stones' classic.
The lyrics of the song, if not fully illustrating the complexity of Soprano's character, accented the constant struggle he endured in the series' run, juggling depression and anxiety and rage and morality in every aspect of his life.
"I only found out yesterday
I heard it on the news
What I heard really pissed me off
'Cause now I got those fucking blues
Yeah I got those awesome blues
Babe, I got those nothing blues."
Throughout the show's run, Gandofini expertly portrayed Soprano's blues as he jumped from his family to his mafia "thing," from his wife to his goomars, from his friends to his "friends." He was confused by the reactions of others, he always worked to stay on top and nearly always won his surface battles, yet never stopped feeling like the rug was about to be pulled out from under him.
And it's that portrayal that those of us who loved the show and loved Gandolfini's performance are thinking about now. The music used on the show, by Richards and others, were supplementary material in the multifaceted portrait of Tony Soprano. The scripts and dialog were another huge piece. But it all came together because Gandolfini was able to take a monster and turn him into a vivid, breathing human being. For those of us with any kind of empathy, it was hard not to root for him even as he ordered and committed one atrocity after another.
Below the first glance, there's beauty in nearly everything, in creaky voices over strained telecasters and in the heart of a man who had brought so much destruction in the world. Gandolfini gave much of himself to bring to life a stunning depiction of a tormented man, and it's that effort and that incredible ability that resonates as much as anything else. He was an incredible artist, and the alchemy he performed on a doomed soul is what I'll remember when I think of him.

Most people who exercise, especially in the mornings and on their lunch breaks, understand how difficult it can be to get in a good workout, clean up, and head out to work or class. Most of the time it's a crunch and sacrifices have to be made--maybe you use dry shampoo instead of wetting your hair, or maybe you use a face wipe instead of washing your face with soap and water.
However, given how fashionable and modern fitness clothing has become, your wardrobe doesn't have to suffer for the sake of cleanliness. In fact, by wearing your workout clothes all day, you can ensure that the rest of you is clean and top-notch and save time before and after your workouts.
In the video above, Tone It Up founders Karena and Katrina walk their enormous community through the basics of their fitness wardrobe and how to dress up more casual items.
Save time by wearing your fitness clothes before your workout, then dress them up afterwards
If you're working out, chances are you're extremely sweaty. Maybe you're taking a class and then going out immediately after, or you're taking a fitness class on your lunch break.
Save time before your workout by wearing your fitness clothing to work (not advisable if you have a suit-and-tie type gig). Black fitness pants are perfectly paired with boots and sandals. If your fitness top is a little too casual, pack it away in a bag for later as changing a top doesn't take nearly as long. By wearing some items all day, you avoid wasting time having to make a pit stop to change. Once your class is over, change out of your sweaty top and back into your more professional attire.
If you like, you can always pack a pair of clean clothing to change into after your lunchtime workout. However, dressing up fitness clothing to make it more acceptable for meetings, lunches, dates and more is simple, and Karena and Katrina can show you how.
What is Tone It Up?
Karena and Katrina are two entrepreuners who knew what they wanted--a community full of healthy, motivated women--and went after it full force. Tone It Up began as a small YouTube series of free fitness videos and quickly grew into a large, profitable fitness community.
Each week, Karena and Katrina create a daily schedule for their community members to complete and goals to meet. Tone It Up also provides a nutrition plan for premium members, protein powders, fitness apparel and more on their website.
The girls have become so popular that they starred in their own reality TV show "Toned Up" on Bravo in early 2014. The show followed the girls through some of their larger business projects and talked with them about their business goals and accomplishments. From shooting fitness DVDs to creating free YouTube videos for their community, Karena and Katrina are an excellent example of two entrepreuners working hard to make their business succeed.

Various problems, currently something with my display.
Reading around some threads here I have found a host of useful information, but I am still having problems with my computer.
I built the computer a bit over a year ago, and it worked flawlessly until about a month ago. It started by giving me errors related to a very obscure problem involving core system .dll files (the solution others had come up with online didn't work) so I did a completely new install of windows.
The new windows install worked for a little while before I started getting errors associated with the hard drive. I was pretty fed up at this point, so I purchased a new hard drive and cloned the old one. So far it seems like that end of the computer has been fine, but now I am getting lines of various kinds shooting across the screen when I start up. This seems like it would be a video card error of some kind to me, but I don't see how that would tie in to any of the other problems I have been having?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Some of the core components are listed below, but if you want to know any more I would be more than happy to find out more.
Mobo: Asus P8P67
Video Card: Geforce 460
4gb Ram (2 x 2gb)
edit: This may be a ridiculous addendum to my post, but one area of computers that I just have no experience with is the bios. Not sure if this could be bios related, but if it was it is unlikely that I would have any idea that I'm doing anything wrong.
|My System Specs

Do you think you may have dislodged the video card when changing out the hard drive?

I'd definately check the card is seated properly, as F5ing has suggested.
You might also check the cable. GTX460's typically have 3 or 4 connectors (Depending on brand). 2 x DVI, HDMI, D-Sub. You could check cable is firmly connected at both ends, try a different connector on the video card, or even a different cable.
If none of that helps, you can run some diagnostic programs on your video card to see if it has any errors. Furmark is one such program which can be downloaded from FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
In my experience, Mini-HDMI connectors exhibit this problem frequently because of the location of the socket on the card, which is almost hard up against the PC case. And most 460's have Mini-HDMI.

Thanks for the replies guys, I managed to remedy the problem with some simple compressed air and a (second) reseating of the video card.
I am now experiencing something much worse, however. I debated making a new thread but don't want to clutter the forum. Here it goes:
In order to try to remedy the seemingly random BSODs and myriad other errors I have been experiencing, I updated my bios. I used the EZ Flash utility built into ASUS boards, and "successfully" updated the Bios. Upon restarting, however, the bios version reads exactly the same as it did before and I now hit a screen that states the following:
CPU Over Voltage!
CPU Overheating!
Press F2 to Enter Setup
(It is something along these lines)
When I attempt to enter Setup the screen goes black and becomes unresponsive. I am just at a loss as to what the hell is happening here. Any and all suggestions are appreciated, I'll be closely monitoring the thread as replies come in.
edit: Currently in the process of removing/reinserting the mobo battey to reset it.

Don't blame the dog.
I've been reading quite a bit about marital consideration lately...specifically the etiquette of bodily functions in the marital home. I'm wondering what kind of coincidence this is when I'm reading about this topic in no less than five unrelated places on the interweb this week. (check Rockstar Mommy if you want a good example.)
There are swell arguments for both sides.
1. Mystery in a marriage is good! Farting and taking a dump are private acts! No one needs to see my grunt face, ok? It just ain't sexy baby.
2. I should be able to freely fart and take random dumps with my S/O present because it indicates a level of unconditional comfort and love! Love me, love my mess.
I prefer a happy medium. I don't want to hold in gas yet I don't want my husband and I to be comfortable enough to light each other's farts with a Zippo. I don't want to hide the fact that I poop yet I don't want to have an audience while I do so. (If it's a particularly evil dump does the audience get to boo and hiss?)
I'm reminded of the story of the woman that requested her loud and proud farting husband only release gas in the bathroom, because anywhere else is crude, only to have him come into the bathroom and fart while she was in the tub. Heh.
It's just crazy that I've been reading about this everywhere lately. Isn't the mind of the masses a strange thing? I'm not above doing my part...

I'm thinking the roll in the hay might be from Young Frankenstein.ReplyDelete
(I'll Google after the fact.)
I know "Roll, roll, roll in ze hay" is from Young Frankenstein (don't forget, it's Fronkenshteen!). I think Terri Garr's character said it.ReplyDelete
I agree with you on your #2 point. On your #1 point, I feel that after being married for a long time there is no mysteries between a couple but there can & should be a lot of excitement, expectation, enjoyment of just being together regardless of what you are doing. Early on in a relationship, sure there is mystery and it is a lot of fun (usually) to find these things out. I think a good measurement of bathroom marital consideration is the guy always remembering to put the toilet seat down after he uses it or, if necessary, remembering to put her seat riser back in place.ReplyDelete
Mystery? No, I knew her so well there was not any mystery around but the relationship was sure wonderful anyway.
Huh... I like what Dick had to say.ReplyDelete
Right or wrong Dadguy and I tend not to share the bathroom in general. In specific we NEVER share #2... EVER! Not really from a lack of comfort with ourselves or each other, but really aside from the GG Allen's of the world, who gets off on being around when that's happening if you don't have to.
This must be a topic that is near and dear to you married types. Us recently unmarried types are allowed to fart anywhere in the house without repurcussions! Ah, the joys of voluntary spinsterhood.ReplyDelete
Now can I have a linky? I'm bloggered up!
I hate typosReplyDelete

Hey, I remember a time when my hubby lit our oldest sisters farts on fire!! What a big blue flame on that one. I shouldn't reveal the things that happen on our drnken casino trips!ReplyDelete
I would just like to take this moment to state that I have never, on my 32 years on this planet, lit a fart on fire. I would also like to state that I was absolutely not present at this particular drunken casino trip.ReplyDelete
I would also like to remind Jill to stop eating at Los Amigos and/or Betos because it the smell it produces causes hallucinations.

The death of Franziskus Xavier Haitz occurred on November 24, 1886. His passing did not seem to give cause for a long and flattering obituary, but he was remembered in the Ripley, Ohio newspaper of the time, The Bee & Times.
"Frank X Haitz, a German aged about 50 years, died at his home in this township, on Eagle Creek, Thursday, of heart trouble, and was buried in Maplewood Cemetery, from the Catholic Church, Saturday morning. He leaves a wife and several children."
"Untitled obituary for Frank Haitz," obituary, (Ripley, Ohio) Bee and Times, 1 December 1886, Frank Haitz, page 3, column 3.

Franziskus is buried in Maplewood Cemetery in Ripley. The epitaph on his headstone is written in German, his native language.

Here sleeps in this grave until on the last day when God calls you. The trumpet of mercy calls you. Out of your grave He calls you into the land where death is not to separate, where no one knows pain and sorrow.

Monday, Dec. 5th is Jasmine's birthday! My sweet pup is 6 years old. It's crazy. Where does the time go? Who knew when I got this cute puppy 6 years ago how much she would change my life? And how she has helped me to grow and become a better person? And what amazing adventures we would have together?
I learned how to be a trick dog trainer! (Well, we learned together!) I got this puppy just to have as a pet in my home. She was my first dog as a "grown-up". I read books, and started teaching her basic obedience. But she was smart, and picked it up pretty fast. And then I had to come up with new things to teach her. And that's how my journey into trick-training began. Jasmine loves to learn. She loves the mental stimulation. (OK, I'll admit it, she loves good treats too!) She thinks with her stomach. And because she's so food-motivated, I was able to use positive reinforcement to teach her a whole lot of tricks! (She taught me a few too! She invented the suitcase trick, and the cowboy trick!) And all these funny little tricks have made her friends all over the world. And her videos have been on TV here in the USA, and in Japan and England. And she was in 2 commercials. (and has some projects in the works for next year!) Seriously, who knew? Who knew she had such potential? And who knew I had a hidden talent as a dog trainer? I've always loved animals. And I've always been patient, and optimistic. And those hidden talents allowed me to develop a visible talent as a trick dog trainer! So you never know what secret talents you have locked inside you... waiting for you to discover and develop. (This goes for me and Jaz!) :D
As I look back, and I'm just amazed at what this little dog has accomplished in just a few years...
Here's the oldest video I could find of her doing tricks:
But even then she was pretty decent! (In my opinion) I just didn't think to videotape her in the beginning, because I had no idea where this would all lead!
And look at her now! :D She's my canine personal assistant! :D
Happy Birthday to my favorite little pup. Jasmine. Jazzy. Jaz. Pup-Pup. Jazmataz.
I tell people the best thing about owning a canine celebrity is that she never lets it go to her heads. ;) She'll always be my little sweetheart.

UCF students rehearsed Wednesday for the annual Project Spotlight Fall One Act Festival that opens on Thursday evening.
This weekend's festival features four plays, both dramatic and comedic productions, performed on alternating days.
Project Spotlight is an independent theater organization that produces one-act festivals in the fall and spring semesters, as well as a fall 10–minute play competition that took place last month.
Each play is completely student run – written, acted, directed, produced, costumed and stage managed.
"It's really like a production company," Kassidy Pierce, a Project Spotlight actor, said.
The program is open to non-theater majors and is an opportunity to build relationships and connections through a hands-on experience, Pierce, a UCF theater studies and entertainment management student, said.
[foogallery id="6539″]
"It is a really diverse group," Nicholas Stelter, an actor in "First Miss," said. "Not only have I met people in the theater department, but I've made connections and learned so much from them. My director [Liz Calvert] is now my friend," Stelter said.
Pierce went back and forth between 10-minute and single act play rehearsals this semester, she said.
"It's very accessible; the management is very professional and respectful of each other's time," Pierce said. "It's fast paced, and it is a huge family. Everyone's really excited to be here."
Some of the one acts feature mature content, including adult language, depictions of sexual assault, suicide and a simulated gunshot, Colin Brooks, "A Play About a Bar" playwright, said.
The festival is free, and shows run from Thursday, Nov. 2 through Saturday, Nov. 4. The festival takes place on the Theatre UCF mainstage, which is in the theatre building on UCF's main campus. Directions to the theatre building can be found here.
Thursday at 7:30 p.m.:
"A Play About a Bar"
"First Miss"
Friday at 7:30 p.m.:

Anything that belongs to you is for your ease, similar is the role being played by a vehicle. The presence of vehicle at anyone's disposal is to give that individual a way to enjoy a luxurious life, when you own your very own automobile you have an opportunity to travel anywhere anytime without considering the hassle of public transport.
However, when it comes to keep such luxurious in hand you also need to keep yourself backed with the insurance policy as well. Auto insurance has become something essential these days because of the damages caused to vehicle and chances of accident. However, when it comes to looking for the company who has the cheapest auto insurance you need to be a bit vigilant.
How Does the Scheme Works?
Well, when you look over the internet you may find a number of choices in terms of auto insurance for your vehicle, however now which to opt and which to ignore is something entirely in your hands. Whereas, it is pretty common that people consider the insurance company who has the cheapest auto insurance because they wish to save a chunk of their premium. However, when you are looking for insurance service you may get catered in the best way:
• Almost all the insurance providers have hired a very friendly and patience oriented staff that is ready to resolve all your queries.
• Every single thing associated with the policy is being communicated to you in the right manner without any glitches being kept.
• Different packages are being introduced to you so that you may always select the one which is feasible for you.
All these things make the idea of considering the thought of auto insurance a successful one, because everything is as per your wishes and that too for your own feasibility.

DWTC and LINK launch Windows 8 app
Tool provides show visitors with an easy navigation path through different parts of GITEX
Microsoft, LINK Development and The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) have collaborated to launch a Windows 8 app for GITEX TECHNOLOGY WEEK.
The app, which is available ahead of the official launch of Windows 8 at the end of October, has been created by software developers LINK Development, gives visitors to the show a sneak preview of the apps for the forthcoming operating system.
The app provides show visitors with an easy navigation path through different parts of GITEX, including in-depth information on in-depth prior information more than 3,500 individual exhibitors from 77 countries and their products and services. Additionally, the visitors will have access to the agenda of the conferences and events throughout the week.
The app builds on DWTC's GITEX application offerings, which include apps for various smartphones including Blackberry, iPhone and Android.
Tarek El Araby, LINK development's commercial director, comments: "It is not a surprise that the Dubai World Trade Centre decided to adopt one of the hottest ICT trends when it chose to offer a Windows 8 app to its visitors and exhibitors this year, giving them an even better overall experience. For more than 31 years of the life of the show, GITEX has maintained its position as the industry's trend setting authority. Its organisers kept it on the high priority annual agenda of major international and regional ICT companies through continuous improvements and innovation. The Windows 8 mobile app is yet another world premier for the show." Michael Mansour, developer and platform evangelism lead at Microsoft Gulf, adds: "Microsoft is thrilled to be launching the GITEX Windows 8 App in collaboration with LINK Development and DWTC. We are keen to provide GITEX visitors with an enhanced experience through the use of Window 8 technology. We are excited about showcasing the seamless functionality of Windows 8 and the integrated experience all of which comes to life in this app."

Billy Elliot is having a good run at the Playhouse. I was lucky enough to get a tickets and went with my daughter Katy at the end of last week.
What a brilliant musical it is; I sadly missed it when it first came out in London 16 years ago. This is the first time it has been on tour and it's a tour de force by the cast, especially Billy himself played by Adam Abbou, who was the best young dancer I have ever seen.
The section in the show where he dances with his older self, Luke Cinque-White, rightly got a standing ovation. It is always heart-warming when a whole audience as one get to their feet in astonishment and admiration for an outstanding piece of musical theatre.
The story is not an easy one and I only had my memory of the film and the wonderful Julie Walters playing the part of the ballet teacher. I had forgotten that it all took place during the miners strike of Maggie Thatcher's time as prime minister during the mid 1980s.
Emotions were running high in the days of the strike at the north eastern mining town and Billy is missing his mother who died two years earlier, she appears to him to reassure him that she is always with him (brings tears to the eyes).
His dad and brother are north east mining men, and with gran mostly lost in her own world, Billy needs some care and attention. He goes to boxing lessons but hates it and stumbles across a ballet class and joins in.
Mrs Wilkinson, played by Annette McLaughlin, discovers his talent and helps him get a place at the Royal Ballet School. One of the best routines was Billy's cross-dressing friend Michael dressing up in his mum's clothes.
There is plenty of grit with the father becoming a scab to help collect enough money for Billy to go to Ballet school. The police and the miners do an amazing choreographed piece just before the interval, the set broke and the show had to be stopped, but it was handled with absolute professionalism and didn't spoil any of the show at all. It is on until the October 22 and I would highly recommend that you don't miss it.

Library book!
Now, I wouldn't usually encourage my kids to draw in books, but I got this from work where they were throwing out old library books....so I let him, just this once (not that he asked me first!)
I love how he has subverted the illustrations to suit his own means!

AnonD-625786, 29 Mar 2017Ok, well, I have mixed feelings about the newly announced devices.
1) Too big. Like ... moreGS8 = 148.9 x 68.1 mm
LG G6 = 148.9 x 71.9 mm
how can you say s8 is too big LOL..
have you ever hold it in yoir palm personally?
have you even read the dimension?
Anonymous, 30 Mar 2017They're not, the screens are getting bigger, but the phones themselves are pretty much stuck b... moreThis is why Galaxy X needs to be released sooner than being delayed again another year. O thought Samsung would announce it back in 2015, 2016, and 2017 CES and they still haven't.
Foldable screens that can be folded multiple times like a sheet of paper will create smaller footprints that can be expanded to bigger screens.
The one disadvantage of removing the physical home button is accidentally pressing the home button below the keyboard's space bar. But Samsung should have of rid of the home button years ago like the other Android OEM's did by 2011.
In typical Samsung / Apple copycat fashion, they have a capacitive button with tactile feedback. More moving parts to wear out and drain battery life. Could have just been simple like any other on-screen home button.
2017 is a tick year for Samsung. The s model refinements with 7nm SoCs come next year with the S9. For iPhones, the s models are the way to go. They are the stronger twin with less issues internally after a year of refining that same design shell.
So odd numbered years for Apple and even numbered years for Samsung. Tick tock, this is how they rock...
2017 - iPhone 7s/Edition
2018 - Galaxy S9
Don't worry, folks. The S9 will rehash this S8 design but improved it more internally.
Dreyfus, 29 Mar 2017reality is what you said? well I cant blame you since you hate everything.
im also working in... moreHaha, we'll see about it.
Same was said about S6, that people prefer modern looks over function. Guess what happened, it sold worse than S5 after all was said and done.
The majority of people don't fall for gimmicks. If you're working on phone sales you should know that, if not you're not doing your job well or you're not observant enough...
AnonD-5197, 29 Mar 2017Phones have been gradually gettimg bigger and bigger.... if there wasnt a demand for bigger ph... moreThey're not, the screens are getting bigger, but the phones themselves are pretty much stuck between 150-160mm in height for years.
People demand bigger screens even at the cost of slightly bigger devices. But they also want smaller devices. Don't be surprised the best selling phone in the market is actually less than 140mm in height.
In fact if there was anyone to show up with a 130mm phone with a giant screen (I don't know if it's possible), it would certainly sell better than any other.
People looove small devices, but love big screens more. So they're fighting each other, big screens win (slightly) but even them have a limit (right about 160mm).
AnonD-642976, 29 Mar 20175,8 inch and people loving it... what a sick world! perfect screensize for smartphone that ... moreSay hi to 2012 for me.
No 1000fps video? Wow. Rather wait for Xperia XZ Premium
Anonymous, 29 Mar 2017I already know it. The trends are formed by specific things. There would be a first wave of in... morereality is what you said? well I cant blame you since you hate everything.
im also working in a Telco company and trust me or not this phone will make an history. and it will slapped your face again and again ,that's the reality. your statement makes me wonder if you are really exist in this world or on the other side.
Beastage, 29 Mar 2017What an amazing fit! stuffing all that in a huge phablet. No thanks! most people don't like... morePhones have been gradually gettimg bigger and bigger.... if there wasnt a demand for bigger phones they would've gotten smaller... basic economics. Lol
Dreyfus, 29 Mar 2017I can assure you millions of phones that will be sold sooner or later will slap your face.
do... moreI already know it. The trends are formed by specific things. There would be a first wave of incredible sales. This would be fanboys and people easily amused. By the end of the year though it will have less sales than S7.
I'm working w phones for 10 years now, watching trends. Trust me, this phone will have worse sales than S7 by next year, because the gimmicks will have died down by then and the real problems (low battery, relatimely low performance) would crop up.
Reality will slap you in the face. Only a minority of people are impressed by gimmicks.
Anonymous, 29 Mar 2017False. NextFalse? Well, maybe I was a little off. G6 is waaaaay better than the S8.
Happy now?
Edge screen is a disaster ,my girlfriend droped hear s7 edge in official premium case only ones and screen cracked as fuck she got insurance on phone but its still cost 80 euros +.
So yea guys its fancy and everything but its not user friendly solution. Edge screen= fucked up screen + screen protector cant stay on it .
another problem across all phones with GG5 that GG5 is worser than GG4 on scratch resistance:
Tann Hauser, 29 Mar 2017Yep, MWC judging said so, if this was even there XZ Prem would still win obviously, as this o... moreit does look pretty gorgeous though. But yeah I do agree there is nothing new outside of that except for Samsungs new partnership with AKG which is actually pretty huge ever since they acquired harman kardon it might actually mean great audio quality. AKG is a renown brand among audiophiles so they made a good move.
Honestly, still worried about sony. S8 might sell like hot cakes because of its new sexy design. put it next to the s7 and itmakes the s7 look antique with them small bezels. Sony needs to reduce its bezel size.
and I hope sony puts on their innovation engine at IFA
5,8 inch and people loving it... what a sick world!
perfect screensize for smartphone that should fit in a pocket and still be useful is somewere between 4 and 5 inch - IMHO
or maybe i am just getting old and out dated... with 33 years. well, we all knew that that would happen sooner or later.
good luck samsung - but you are not building phones for me.
i hate when they sell the topdog version just in korea and china. yet another reason not to buy the phone. but other producers act as this as well...
Price is lower than expected phone looks better than renders have high specs its all good
Ok, well, I have mixed feelings about the newly announced devices.
1) Too big. Like way too big.
2) That fingerprint placement. Died of laughter when one review channel said ''Get ready for a lot of smudges on the camera!''
3) Same back design. Samsung, seriously, think of something new for your best flagship phone yet.
4) Battery capacities too low. I don't have to explain anything here and don't try to say ''but the screen is this and that and the processor is this and that, so the battery will be fine!'', it won't work.
5) Bixby is useless and will never rise. Should've stuck with Google Assistant and help improve it.
6) On-screen buttons are ugly.
7) The ''edge'' screen is a gimmick, and so is the iris scanning feature.
8) Too damn expensive.
1) Liking the new UI and the way the app drawer opens.
2) The front looks gorgeous with that screen, like the G6.
So, yeah. lol
Anonymous, 29 Mar 2017Basically the smallest jump than in any galaxy before that.
All you get is a taller screen.... moreI can assure you millions of phones that will be sold sooner or later will slap your face.
don't comment as if you already know the future,

HWFRS give their best ever performance and finish second place in the United Kingdom Rescue Organisation (UKRO) National Challenge
in News
Last week, two teams from HWFRS were among fire services from across the entire country competing in the UKRO National Challenge 2015. The HWFRS team from Ross-on-Wye, who competed in the extrication challenge, gave their best performance to date and finished in second place nationally. They will now go forward to represent the UK in Brazil next April at the World Extrication Championships.
The national competition, that took place at the Fire Service College in Gloucestershire, had four award categories; extrication (freeing casualties from road traffic collision scenarios), trauma, urban search and rescue (USAR), and rope rescue. Whilst the Ross-on-Wye team (consisting of Daniel Gray, Adrian Phillips, Shaun Moser, Pat Murphy, Simon Griffiths and Matthew Richardson) competed for the extrication title, HWFRS duo, Simon Griffiths and Jayne Collins, competed in the trauma challenge. The pair finished in very good fifth place and will go forward to represent the UK in at the World Trauma Championships in Portugal later this year. This was also a top result for the Service and the best that HWFRS has ever performed.
The competition spanned over two days and, during this time, both teams competed against other fire services in a range of challenging scenarios that put their skills to the test. On day one of the extrication challenge the crews were given 20 minutes to safely rescue a casualty from a two car road traffic collision scenario. The following day they were faced with a more complex scenario involving rescuing two casualties from a collision between a HGV and a car. The trauma team also faced some tough scenarios, including a casualty that had been impaled by a stick and a car explosion with seven causalities. All casualties were played by qualified doctors, nurses and paramedics, so they really put the teams through their paces.
The extrication team were judged on incident command, medical response, and the technical element (making cuts and stabilising the vehicle etc.). In terms of the technical response, the team beat the other 21 teams and came in first place nationally for both of the scenarios. A team from Hampshire Fire & Rescue Service, who are the current world champions, finished first overall.
Deputy Chief Fire Officer Richard Lawrence attended the event and said: "Over the two days they were faced with a range of demanding exercises that really put their skills to the test. Both teams did exceptionally well and we are immensely proud to have such talented, professional firefighters within the Service. Yet again, the annual challenge has been an excellent opportunity for firefighters from all over the UK to come together to learn new skills and techniques that allow us to respond to emergencies in the most efficient manner."
Prior to the competition a significant amount of preparation has taken place and both dedicated teams have undertaken additional training in order to improve and build upon their skills. Each individual has worked extremely hard to prepare for the competition and the Ross-on-Wye team has also undertaken extra training in ultra-heavy vehicle rescue over at Droitwich Spa Fire Station. In addition to this, the teams have already competed in regional competitions and Ross-on-Wye recently represented the UK at Intershutz, an international competition that took place in Hanover, Germany. In this competition, the team ranked 11 th place overall out of the 29 international fire services that competed.
In total, 44 teams from all over the UK competed in the competition. All of the challenges are designed to further educate firefighters and enable them to respond to incidents in the best way possible. Competitors also attended a series of workshops in the four key areas (extrication, trauma, rope, and USAR) to further develop their skills.

I am currently reading "Female Chauvinist Pigs" by Ariel Levy, and let me just state this for the record that it is a fantastic book and everyone should read it!
Here are a couple of feminism inspired outfits featuring reds and blues.
Beloved "Battles" shirt (I got at Sasquatch last May). The skirt is thrifted and super awesome. Red cardigan reminds me a lot of what women wore during the 50's for some reason, before the second wave of feminism.
I bought the paisley shirt from a girl who was selling her clothes on campus in the AQ...quite strange how I went shopping at school. But it reminds me of the 60's, the height of the sexual revolution as well as the rise of feminism.

Yellowstone - Old Faithful
Well, the internet is sometimes not available everywhere and the mountains yesterday were not cooperating with me so I will catch you up on yesterday before I put in our activities for today. You would think my family was training for a race or something with all the walking we are doing!! Yesterday I think we walked about 5 miles. The kids did great too. We left the camper and headed for Old Faithful. We made a few stops before and walked around some geyser areas and mudpots. As long as I let the kids take pictures they were happy, so if anyone would like to have a copy of the 552 pictures we have let me know! :) We then went to the Old Faithful loop and walked around it. At the beginning of it a buffalo was resting right by the benches. We got lots of pictures of that then started to walk. It got up and headed for the path. I told the family we needed to continue to walk and hope it did not follow us. I can see how people get hurt by the animals in the park. Last week a man was mauled by a bear while on a hike in the woods. All the more reason for us to do laps around our campground on our morning runs. After the end of our walk we stopped and watched Old Faithful go off. During our wait the boys and I enjoyed watching a bug carry a catepillar into its hole then cover it up. Bryce of course wanted to cover it up with a big rock but Britton and I just kept taking pictures. Yes, those will be included on your free CD! That was about all for yesterday. I must add that one of my favorite spots was the geyser called West Triplet Geyser! Yes, it has some meaning to me!

Daryl Evans scored one of the most important goals in Los Angeles Kings history, during game three of a best-of-five postseason series against the Edmonton Oilers.
Today, 20 years after retiring from hockey, Evans is the radio color commentator for the Kings, and he spoke about the "Miracle on Manchester" (after the LA Forum's location on Manchester Boulevard) to Mesquite Trails Elementary School students.
"This is hockey weather out here today," he told the students at the first of three assemblies Tuesday morning.
The Kings weren't even supposed to be in the playoffs in 1982, and were up against a team that was supposed to crush them. The Oilers were led by the legendary Wayne Gretzky, who was on his way to winning the Hart Trophy as the National Hockey League's most valuable player for the third year running.
"Wayne [Gretzky] and I actually grew up playing against each other."
The series was tied at one game apiece when Evans scored the winning shot during overtime, only seconds after the puck was put back into play.
"That stands as the greatest comeback in NHL history," he said.
And while it was a great moment for the Kings, it was also a valuable one for the Oilers as well.
"That was probably the best lesson they ever learned, losing," Evans said. "They can't just show up and win, they had to work."
That lesson was just as applicable for the Mesquite Trails Eagles, he said.
"Nothing comes easy, whether in sports or school or life in general. You have to work."
And for Evans, that included landing that position with the NHL to begin with.
"There were only 100 jobs available" in the NHL when he was growing up, and since the positions in the then much-smaller league only went to the best players in the world, he had to really focus on that goal.
"I missed out on a lot of things" growing up, "but I feel so lucky because I was able to do what I tried to do."
But in the end, all the sacrifice was worth it, he said.
"I always had fun. Every morning, I got up and did what I loved to do," even when it was a 14-hour bus ride to an away game or endless drills on the ice, Evans said. "I work 7 days a week and I feel like I've never worked a day in my life."
Although the students focused on Evans' moment of glory in the 1982 playoffs, he cautioned them that the players who get all the attention aren't doing it alone, nor are they necessarily the most important players out on the ice.
"Some players aren't the ones scoring goals, but they work extremely hard," Evans said. "It's just like life: You need everyone around you to succeed."

text: I found the cutest vintage looking valentines this year. It brought me back to the days of giving valentines to your classmates (circa first or second grade) in those flimsy white envelopes. Memories! I got my Valentine an awesome tshirt from Threadless.com based in Chicago. They have been a staple in my gift giving the last few years, especially for boys. The designs are creative and colorful. Check out their website, www.threadless.com. Off to see Gran Torino. Portions of the movie were filmed in Detroit and I am anxious to see it. Happy Valentine's Day!
