Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Happy THANKSGIVING!
Ang and I went around Mantua Reservoir in Utah...loved it! To get out and run in 54 degree temperature the day before Thanksgiving, was perfect!
We're so thankful for all those who support ZRunning!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Beautiful Willard, Utah Mountains
My wife and I have been talking about putting more out on our blog but haven't really taken the time to do so...well, we decided to make a change. I know, this is before January 1st, but we decided to do it anyway. :)
I believe it was November 25th of 2013 when a friend of ours (Toby Langmann Nishikawa) decided to put a 40 day challenge out on Facebook to run at least 1 mile per day. For some reason, this challenge was just enough to get me (Mitch) off my chair and start to run more consistently, not that I wasn't running at all. I don't know what it was, maybe burnout, maybe just plain lazyness, but I wasn't getting out much and I needed something. Well, I'm excited to say I hit that 40 day challenge...and now I'm actually coming up on one year! There were many days I only found enough time to run just one mile, but I was able to fit it in.
What is it that motivates people to get out and run? To get out of bed early in the morning (or even late at night)? These are questions I've had to ask myself since finishing up my college career at Utah State University. I look at people all over the world who put so much effort into the sport and sometimes wonder, "Why?" What gets them going? For me, sometimes a race or someone challenging me, but it's usually something outside myself. I know some who are internally motivated (maybe for weight control or just to feel better about themselves)...either way, getting out and running helps in all aspects of your life including your mental, spiritual, emotional and physical states. Whatever motives you, keep it going!

I finally watched Joe Stauffer the creator of Bud Buttons on QVC. WAY TO GO JOE!

UltrAspire cap song (click image for video)...There's some news coming that I think you'll be excited about. Stay tuned...
ZRunning Discount through March
Through March, we are offering a discount for all of our products...just enter FBMAR14 at the time of checkout and you'll receive free shipping and a discount. We are hoping you will share this will all your friends. :)
It seems pretty obvious to us what this Bud Button does for us when it comes to running (we love them, by the way). What we are wondering, though, is how would you use them? What cords would you hold? Maybe holding the cords of blinds away from kids (assuming there is metal in the blinds) or using them while working, etc...
What are your ideas?? Feel free to post your ideas on this blog or on our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ZRunning)...
Shirtless Races
Now before you get too excited, let me ask you this...Do you find yourself going to your closet and find, in your drawer, a bunch of running t shirts that ultimately just become work shirts? That's why we decided to start the shirtless races...to give out something other than a shirt.
The biggest question we have is what would you like to receive that isn't a shirt? What could or would you use if you received it? Think it through and check out the website...wwwshirtlessraces.com.
Happy running!
Thu, Feb 13, 2014
Angela (Angie) is now going to start writing more on this site...some of us didn't have a lot to really say, so I'm hoping that Angie does. :)
We want to talk about products we are showing, nutritional facts that we are learning, great fitness tips, etc...

starring KENNETH WILLIAMS, PETER JONES, SHEILA HANCOCK and WILLIAM RUSHTON, chaired by NICHOLAS PARSONS (Radio, 25 November 1975)
Note: This show was transcribed by Vicki Walker! Thanks Vicki! :-) William Rushton's first appearance.
ANNOUNCER: We present Kenneth Williams, Peter Jones, Sheila Hancock and William Rushton in Just A Minute. And as the Minute Waltz fades away, here to tell you about it is our chairman, Nicholas Parsons.
NICHOLAS PARSONS: Thank you, thank you very much indeed, hello. Welcome to Just A Minute. And once again I'm going to ask our four panelists if they can talk for 60 seconds on some subject that I will give them without hesitation, without repetition and without deviating from the subject, which is on the card in front of me. And we're going to begin the show this week with Kenneth Williams, and Kenneth, would you try and talk on the subject of pleasure for 60 seconds starting now.
KENNETH WILLIAMS: One thinks of the lines, "Come live with me and be my love and we will all the pleasures prove." And then, in that delightful poem, he lists things like valleys, fields and dales and what he calls teepee mountains. But I very much doubt whether a gentleman on the Matterhorn, or Everest, come to that, would be thinking in terms of pleasure. Probably they'd be much more grateful instead of a poem for a box of tissues, because the nose as you know does run in extremely cold temperatures. Pleasure could be defined as hedonism or, as the Greeks would have it, Epicureanism, defining as a way of life the pleasure principle being virtuous because it's supposed to be a feeling that's engendered in us of community, of civility, of caring about our fellow human being. And what better, what better creed?
KW: I had to say that twice because you buzzed.
NP: No, Sheila Hancock did.
KW: Oh, what a nerve! What a nerve! They should never have had women on this show. They just right down lower the tone, you know!
NP: But you kept going for 55 seconds.
KW: That's what she's coming in on the last bit for!
NP: Yes, I know!
KW: That's her trick, isn't it?
SHEILA HANCOCK: You, you...
KW: Yes! They all agree!
SH: Well actually, you repeated...
KW: They're after, they're on to you, girl! Don't you worry about it!
NP: Kenneth, you kept going magnificently. We enjoyed it all. They were quite generous to you, and Sheila came in when you're with that very definite repetition.
KW: Oh, go on! Let her have it!
NP: So she gets a point for ...
KW: Let's see what wonderful pyrotechnic she's going to wreak.
NP: Sheila, you have five seconds, you've got a point for a correct challenge. You take over the subject of pleasure -- five seconds to go starting now.
SH: My idea of pleasure...
NP: Uh, and Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Hesitation.
NP: Shut up!
SH: Oh, rubbish!
NP: Sheila Hancock has another point for a wrong challenge.
SH: Good.
NP: She keeps the subject of pleasure, three seconds, starting now.
SH: Is to lie in the...
NP: And Peter Jones has challenged.
PETER JONES: Well, I would like to take this opportunity of saying good evening, and also I would like to welcome William Rushton, who also hasn't spoken...
WILLIAM RUSHTON: Thank you.
PJ: ...and I'd like everyone to know this is not just a two-handed show.
WR: I would like to know the name of Kenneth Williams' chemist. I want some of that stuff to sustain me!
NP: Sheila Hancock has two seconds to talk on pleasure, starting now.
SH: The sun shining on my face...
NP: Well, the whistle that Ian Messiter blows for us tells us that 60 seconds is up and who's ever speaking at that particular moment gets an extra point. And on this occasion it was Sheila Hancock, and at the end of the round she's the only one to have any points. She has a commanding lead. Peter Jones, we're going to hear from you now. Would you talk on the subject of weekends for 60 seconds, starting now.
PJ: They have rather a period flavor to me. I think of the twenties and weekends in Brighton at the Metropole and on the river at Hendley and Maidenhead. And in Paris I think of them. And, um...
NP: Uh, Sheila Hancock has challenged.
SH: Well, he has thought of them twice and he did hesitate at the thought, as well he might!
NP: He was thinking so hard about them that he had to repeat it. So, Sheila, you've got another correct challenge and there are 44 seconds for you to talk on the subject of weekends, starting now.
SH: Well, my hair has got very weak ends that are inclined to split. When this happens, I suggest that you rub in a bit of lanolin and let it soak, and perhaps olive oil is very helpful, and then you shampoo it off and your ends will be...
NP: Peter Jones has challenged.
PJ: Well, she's not talking about weekends, but how to cure weak ends, which is quite a different thing, as well as advertising, which is forbidden.
NP: She's talking about shampooing her hair, which is deviation from the subject of weekends.
PJ: Right.
NP: I agree with your challenge, Peter. You have a point and you have 28 seconds starting now.
PJ: Well, I think they're due for a comeback. Not so many people can afford to go away.
NP: Uh, Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Deviation. Weekends can't come back; they're here perpetually.
NP: I think that the type of weekend that Peter was referring to...
KW: You -- I don't know how he gets these jobs! I really – they should chuck him out! He's a complete idiot, isn't he? There you are, they're all clapping, they're all realising...
NP: Listen...
KW: ...what a nit you are!
NP: I was...
PJ: Now, Kenneth, I don't want...
NP: Listen, Kenneth! You are going to...
KW: He's talking, not me!
PJ: I don't want it...
NP: You are actually going to be awarded the subject! But I have to...
KW: I don't want it now, thank you very much for your rudeness.
NP: Do you... My rudeness!
KW: Come all the way from Great Portland Street to be insulted!
NP: You have done all the insulting and all the rudeness. Do it again and I'll put you in the corner. I was about to say, I think I know what Peter was referring to, but yours was a legitimate challenge because weekends are here, they're always with us. It's a good challenge; I give you a point for it. Now try to be a good boy, take the subject and 24 seconds, starting now.
KW: I am ill equipped to deal with this because the notion is really one of leisure and that is something I know precious little about because...
NP: Uh, Peter Jones has challenged.
PJ: If he knows little about it, let me have the subject back and I'll tell you.
NP: So as he was on the subject of leisure and not weekends, he was deviating. Peter, you've got the subject back.
PJ: Yes.
NP: You have 16 seconds starting now.
PJ: I'm trying to visualize a series of weekends – in all, about 52, which I shall begin in January of next year. And the very first one will be in, of all places, Ilfracoombe, because I happen to know someone there who's going –
NP: And everybody in Ilfracoombe is now agog to know who Peter's going to start off his 52 with. But he got a point for speaking when the whistle went and he's into second place behind Sheila Hancock. And Kenneth – no, Willie Rushton, it's your turn to begin.
WR: Hello.
NP: Would – hello. Willie, would you talk on the subject of mumbling.
WR: Mumbling.
NP: You've given us a little bit of it, but now can you talk about it for 60 seconds starting now.
WR: Mumbling comes easily to me as I can mumble into my beard. In the Oxford dictionary it is described as a verb, to mumble: To make a noise of this nature: (five seconds of auto-racing noises). Anyway, Millen Concise, it is (three seconds of keening). In the Penguin Pocket, it is sort of: (five seconds of clucking). It comes from our own profession, the acting profession. We were known as mummers, and in those days purely mimed. As the profession grew, so did the –
NP: Uh, Peter Jones has challenged.
PJ: Repetition of profession.
NP: Peter, you have a correct challenge, a point and the subject. Thirty seconds on mumbling, starting now.
PJ: Mumbling was head gardener on the Duke of Portland's estate between the years 1906 and 1918. He was a very elderly man even when he took on the post. And he specialized in growing vegetables, parsnips and other things like carrots and so on. And he was a rather tattered kind of figure even in the early days with his trousers dangling over the gardening boots, which he wore perpetually. And...
NP: And Sheila – no, no, Sheila challenged just before the whistle.
SH: Well, I was just about to interrupt him for deviation because if his trousers were dangling over his boots, it must have been a pretty –
NP: Devious sight!
SH: Devous sight! Yes!
PJ: That's why he got the sack in 1918.
NP: I think to be fair, Sheila, he wasn't deviating from the subject on the card.
SH: No.
NP: Though probably we'll find out the whole thing was devious because he never existed. So there's half a second, Peter, on mumbling, starting now.
PJ: And, er, so --
PJ: -- that was it.
NP: So Peter has now taken the lead at the end of that round. He's one ahead of Sheila Hancock and he's, uh, five ahead of Kenneth Williams and William Rushton. And Sheila, it's your turn to begin. The subject is holiday snaps. Would you talk on those for just a minute, if you can, starting now.
SH: Holiday snaps used to be a source of great pleasure to me, although actually I didn't have all that many holidays when I was a little girl as it was during the war and we didn't get away a great deal. But it's all been ruined lately because my husband has acquired something called a sound telly camera, which means that you have to spend your whole time doing terrible antics and saying witty things. Otherwise the whole holiday is ruined because he's in a bad temper because we haven't performed sufficiently for him to provide a suitable show to show all his friends.
NP: And, uh, Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Because I heard two shows there, wasn't there?
NP: Yes, there was.
KW: That's right. I thought I was correct.
NP: But you challenged in such a civilized way, Kenneth. You feeling all right?
KW: WellÖ
NP: Right, you have the subject, Kenneth, another point and holiday snaps. Thirty – 26 seconds left, starting now.
KW: These can provide a delightful memento of those halcyon periods on one's life when one never has to bother about reporting for work but lies indolently, sipping the eau de vivre, or the bee –
NP: William Rushton has challenged.
WR: I'd just wouldn't like to see a photograph of this going on. I feel he's wandering off the subject in no uncertain manner. His mind is bent.
PJ: He did. And he said he couldn't have any weekends, even, earlier on.
WR: I know.
NP: So what, actually, Willie, is your challenge?
WR: What?
NP: What is your actual challenge?
WR: I'm not absolutely certain, but suffice to say it's a strong partial one and I feel I support it, if it's all the same to you.
NP: You think he's deviated from the subject of holiday snaps.
WR: I think mainly on the grounds of taste, I think.
NP: I think, Willie, that he's deviated to some extent from the subject of holiday snaps and getting on to describing the subject. So there are eight seconds left for you to talk on the subject, starting now.
WR: One of the most beautiful holiday snaps taken of me, I was mounted on a donkey somewhere near Ilfacoombe on the beach where I was pounding like a demented stoat towards the pier.
NP: Well, William Rushton was then speaking when the whistle went. He gained that extra point and now he is equal in third place with Kenneth Williams behind Sheila Hancock and Peter Jones. Kenneth, your turn to begin. The subject now is promises. Can you tell us something about those in 60 seconds starting now.
KW: There was a notable argument between Argentine and Chile and they asked Victoria, our queen, to settle it for them. And she wrote and promised to do so. That incredible old lady ruled, as you know, for 60 years and saw one of the most prosperous periods Ö
NP: Uh, Sheila Hancock.
SH: I don't honestly think he's talking about promises. He's talking about Queen Victoria.
NP: Telling me her reign was full of promises. Um, Kenneth, you keep the subject.
KW: Thank you.
NP: And there are 34 seconds left starting now.
KW: And the aforementioned Empress, when her daughter was to be married, was begged by that poor creature that it should not take place in Berlin. And that gracious lady said, "Don't you worry, I promise you it will be in the Chapel Royal Windsor." Where the nuptials were celebrated, true to her promise which that lady kept. All her life Ö oh!
NP: Peter Jones has challenged.
PJ: Repetition of lady.
NP: Yeah, you did bring in the lady more than once.
KW: Well, she was a great lady. It's worth it.
NP: Five seconds are left, Peter, starting now.
PJ: My grandmother used to make a lot of promises and she added the words "all being well."
PJ: So as to get out Ö a saving grace. Well, it was an excuse if she didn't keep it, you see. So if all didn't go well, and so I have to change the arrangements, you know.
KW: Well, we don't want a biography, dear. I mean, we've only got Ö
PJ: And I don't want people to think you're a bad loser, Kenneth.
KW: Oh, I don't think anyone would think that! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
NP: Oh, dear.
PJ: Well, I mean Ö
NP: Peter Jones has taken the lead at the end of that round again. Well, he has increased his lead because he was leading Sheila Hancock before. And Peter, it's your turn to begin again and the subject now is breakages. Can you talk about breakages for just a minute starting now.
PJ: Yes, I have a friend –
NP: Uh, Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Hesitation.
PJ: Rubbish!
NP: There was a hesitation, actually. But it was only one and a half seconds, so I don't think it's really fair at the beginning. We do let people get underway, Kenneth. So we won't allow that one and Peter continues with breakages starting now.
PJ: I have a friend who worked for a millionaire.
NP: Ah, Sheila Hancock challenged.
SH: Repetition of "I have a friend."
KW: Ah, brilliant! Yes! Oh, brilliant!
PJ: That's not fair! Not fair.
NP: That's what you call ganging up, actually.
SH: Oh, yes!
NP: He's in the lead, so the two of them ganged up.
PJ: Quite.
NP: But Sheila's got the subject.
PJ: Obviously it's a plot! They worked this out carefully beforehand! I saw you together at the tea bar.
SH: Rotten! Rotten. I apologize.
NP: But Sheila, you got in and there are 56 and a half seconds on breakages starting now.
SH: Oh, this is something I'm pretty good at. But not as – excellent as a friend of mine.
NP: Um, Kenneth Williams.
KW: I'm afraid it's a definite hesitation, I'm afraid.
NP: I make the decisions; you can make the challenges. Your challenge on hesitation, I agree with you, Kenneth.
PJ: What a happy coincidence!
NP: There are 52 and a half seconds on breakages, Kenneth, starting now.
KW: The last time this occured was when my mamma broke a very fine piece of royal Worcester, and it fell to my lot to secure its repair by an old gentleman who lived off Andal Street, whereupon the broken handle was welded, as the term goes, back to the vessel which contains the liquid. So, you see, I have very carefully, in describing that, not again referred to the name of that particular carrier of tea or coffee as Ö
NP: Sheila has challenged.
SH: Well, that is deviation.
NP: Yes! He's now onto the, onto the, onto the – no, you are deviating.
KW: You great fool! Rubbish! Oh, well, give it to her, I'm taking a motorcar.
NP: There we are. Ah, there are 12 and a half seconds on breakages, Sheila, starting now.
SH: A mate of mine brought a new dishwasher.
NP: Peter Jones.
PJ: Hesitation!
NP: Yes, Peter.
SH: Oh! You didn't give it to him!
KW: (cackling)
SH: It wasn't clear! You didn't --
NP: Well, you Ö
KW: You shut up and don't protest! He's a good chairman! He's a very good chairman!
NP: I try to keep the balance and you were unfair to Peter before, so now that redresses the balance.
SH: You're so far away.
KW: You shut up! We shouldn't have women on the show anyway!
SH: You said you let people get under way.
KW: Under way! Yes, but you practically slipped anchor.
SH: I agree with William Rushton. This is a stupid game!
WR: Yes, it is!
SH: I've got a very good story on breakages and now you'll never hear it and I'm glad.
NP: Well, Peter Jones might have a good one as well. He's got 11 seconds Ö
SH: He won't.
NP: Ö on which to tell us starting now.
PJ: And this millionaire had a book with a list -- of every item –
NP: Sheila Hancock has challenged.
SH: Hesitation.
NP: Yes, all right. Now I'm on your side, so you think it's a good game, do you? So you've got a good hesitation there and breakages is with you, eight seconds starting now.
SH: This dishwasher, she put all her new crockery in and it was a big dinner party –
NP: Uh, Peter Jones.
PJ: Who did? We don't know anything about this!
SH: I – I've been trying to tell you. I've said my pal, I've said my mate, I couldn't say my friend. I'd repeated it all. So I have to go to Ö
PJ: Yes, but we don't know anything about it. I mean, you haven't told this story properly.
SH: If you'd shut your face, I'll tell you!
NP: There are three seconds – can you finish this story in three seconds, Sheila? Breakages, starting now.
SH: And all the dishes were broken in this thing because they went round and round.
PJ: Well. And that's the amusing anecdote.
NP: Well, the subject of breakages broke a few strong nerves, and William Rushton, it's your turn to begin and the subject is what I can say in a minute. Can you tell us something on that subject in 60 seconds starting now.
WR: What I can say in a minute is approximately twice what Clement Freud can say in a minute as he speaks very slowly and I've always spoken extremely quickly, which is one of the few things I have to my advantage. Um, I could not talk for a minute on, say, nuclear fission. I could talk for about 10 seconds and then drop dead. The knowledge would flow from my brain, my brain would explode, my entire body would crumble. I could at the same time talk for 45 minutes, 38 seconds on the joys of Mrs. Bradley's body, but then at the same time you don't want to hear about that; the programme's not long enough. Uh – hesitation.
NP: Uh, Sheila Hancock challenged.
WR: Do I get a point for buzzing myself?
NP: You would have done – it's been known to happen, that someone challenges themselves and got a point for a good challenge. There are 32 seconds for you now with the subject, Sheila, what I can say in a minute, starting now.
SH: What I can say in a minute is absolutely anything because there isn't a definite subject in this instance. So I might give you a quick chorus of "God Save the Queen" or –
NP: William Rushton.
WR: A silly thing to say. What heading does that come under?
SH: What I can say in a minute!
WR: I don't agree with you at all.
NP: Sheila Hancock has the subject still and she's got another point and there are 19 seconds and she starts now.
SH: I could give you a talk on animals or sex –
PJ: Or dishwashers.
SH: -- or William Rushton, dishwashers, Peter Jones, Kenneth Williams, Nicholas Parsons, the audience, London, the city, the tower, Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII, women's institute, how to make cakes –
NP: Uh, Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: What's Henry VIII got to do with women's institute?
SH: I'm telling you!
NP: A great deal, I would have thought!
KW: I should think that he'd be very much opposed to them!
NP: No, she didn't deviate.
KW: But you're supposed to say the things you can talk about.
NP: No, the subject is what I can –
SH: But I could talk about the women's institute and Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. I'll give you a lecture on Henry VIII if you'd like.
KW: No, please don't. Please.
NP: The rather unfortunate subject is what I can say in a minute. Sheila, you have two seconds on what I can say in a minute starting now.
SH: I can say in a minute absolutely anything.
NP: Sheila, you've increased your lead at the end of the round and it's your turn to begin again. And the subject is learning another language. Will you tell us something about that in 60 seconds starting now.
SH: Learning another language is something that I am always making up my mind to do. And I have a cupboard of those teach yourself records – German, Spanish, French. I even have some that you're supposed to put by your bed and play while you're asleep and you wake up in the morning and know it, but I'm here to tell you that that didn't work for me. I also considered going to that academy in London where you could learn a language in about two weeks, and in fact I have a friend who did exactly that. Another language that I've had to learn lately is that of 11-year-old children because they seem to have coined a whole lot of new words like grotty and supes and various other things which do need quite a lot of translating if you are to understand your kinter. Also, I have to –
NP: Ah, Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: What is this word "kinter"?
SH: That was another language.
KW: I see. Instead of making a word up, and she simply made a mess of it.
PJ: And another word, "supes," she said.
NP: Kenneth has a correct challenge, I've discovered, and he has 13 seconds to talk about learning another language, starting now.
KW: This is always best done with a native of the country whose language you wish to –
NP: Uh, Sheila, William Hancock, William Rushton has challenged.
WR: He appeared to fall over his words, whatever you call that.
NP: You call that hesitation.
WR: Hesitation, you call that.
NP: Yes, I think so, yes. You have five seconds –
WR: Good point, hesitation. Slowing down, a collapsible process.
SH: Squished!
NP: Five seconds on learning another language with William, starting now.
WR: I for many years struggled with Esperanto. If you go to a public house in Staffordshire, I think it is, the entire business of the public house is conducted in –
NP: Well, William Rushton was then speaking when the whistle went. And Kenneth Williams, your turn to begin. The subject: Marco Polo. Will you tell us something about him in 60 seconds starting now.
KW: Well he lived in the 13th century and he left for Venice with his dad to go over land by way of Bacarrah to the court of the great mogul Kubla Khan. And when he returned with a vast amount of precious stones and various items of jewelry, he obviously made a bomb and became very, very successful. I shouldn't have said that twice, but nobody's bothered to challenge me –
NP: You shouldn't have drawn attention to it! You might have got away with it. Sheila Hancock got in first.
SH: I don't even know what he said twice, because I've gone into a trance! But presumably Ö
KW: Oh, well, oh, well then that's all right. Well I keep the subject.
NP: So what was your challenge?
SH: Repetition of whatever he said twice.
NP: And as you don't know what he said twice, so Kenneth keeps the subject. And he has 29 seconds on Marco Polo, starting now.
KW: And while he was imprisoned by the Genoese as part of the Venetian War, he wrote his famous book, which has been handed down to us in many different editions. And Polo today is the famous name, not to be confused with that game which is played by the Duke of Edinburgh because that comes, though also from the East, via Calcutta, so it mustn't be confused with the Italian –
NP: Peter Jones has challenged you.
PJ: Repetition of confused.
NP: Yes. You got confused. You repeated yourself with only four seconds to go and Peter's got in again. And the subject's Marco Polo, Peter, and you start now.
PJ: He brought pasta back from China and invented –
SH: He brought pasta back from China? A likely thing!
KW: Actually disgraceful, isn't it?
NP: What? What was disgraceful?
KW: Why, I mean just waiting until the last five minutes or something like that. It's so obvious! It's been happening all the time.
PJ: It takes a lot of guts to sit here and – (KW kisses him) – sit here and listen to you ranting on for a whole minute! You know, it's not too easy!
NP: Peter, you're going to rant a bit now because we're back to you to start and the subject is my favorite aunt.
PJ: My favorite aunt.
NP: Sixty seconds, starting now.
PJ: Oh, she was a lovely old lady with gray hair and two buns, one on either side of her forehead, and a very wet kiss she had, I remember vividly. And in her 67th year she met her childhood sweetheart in a butcher shop in Wolverhampton – this is absolutely true! – and he deserted her when she was very young and gone away and married somebody else, they died, came back from being round the world on a sailing ship and they joined together, married and lived happily ever after, which of course wasn't a terribly long time. But it was hilarious! The wedding, this old man – he was a porter on the Great Western Railway at Wolverhampton, and she was working in the shop where they sold the meat, as I told you before –
NP: Ah, Sheila Hancock has challenged.
SH: Yes, you did mention the shop before.
NP: Yes.
PJ: Yes, I know, but I said where they sold the meat. I didn't say butcher shop, you see.
NP: You did manage the word shop twice.
PJ: Oh, well that, for God's sakes. Picky!
NP: Sheila, you have the subject and it is my favorite aunt and there are 12 seconds left starting now.
SH: I have a very dear aunt called Auntie Ruby who introduced me to many good things in life, especially sausages and chips at Lyon's Cornerhouse when I was a little girl.
NP: Uh, Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: They are not good things. Sausages and chips are rotten things and therefore you cannot possibly sit here and say they're good things.
NP: Are you – have you finished, Kenneth?
KW: Yes.
NP: Good. To a child of tender years, a sausage and chips are delicious! And Sheila has two seconds to continue -- my favorite aunt, starting now.
SH: Followed by an ice cream sundae that you had to stand on the chair to reach.
NP: Well, I've just received a message that our 30 minutes is up. So I must now wind the show up. Before I do it, let me tell you that William Rushton, coming to play the game for the first time, contributed a great deal. Kenneth was only three points ahead of him. Peter Jones was, ah, only six points ahead of him but way out in the lead was this week's winner, Sheila Hancock! We hope you've enjoyed this edition of Just a Minute and want to tune in again the same time next week when once again we take to the air and we try and play the game of Just a Minute. Till then, from all of us here, goodbye!
ANNOUNCER: The chairman of Just a Minute was Nicholas Parsons. The programme was devised by Ian Messiter and produced by John Lloyd.

Spicy Kumquat pickle achar is a hot, sweet and sour condiment that can be eaten with everything from scrambled eggs to main courses.
My late father, may Allah have mercy on his soul and grant him the highest paradise, loved kumquats. Whenever he visited Citrusdal, a citrus farming community about 2 hours outside of Cape Town during winter, he brought back oranges, lemons, naartjies (mandarins) and kumquats.
Kumquats are the olive sized citrus fruits of a hardy evergreen shrub that have tart flesh and a sweet and slightly bitter edible peel when ripe. These fruits are excellent in pickle achars, marmalade or preserved in sugar syrup.
One day my dad brought back more kumquats than we knew what to do with, and my mum decided to make kumquat pickle achar before they went bad. Using the same recipe that her friend Soeriya used for dried fruit pickle achar, she made enough to stock a small store. We were happy because we had enough of the spicy, sweet and sour kumquat pickle achar to last until Summer, plus enough to give away to relatives as gifts.
Since that day nearly thirty years ago, whenever I see kumquats I immediately think of my parents and kumquat pickle achar. I was quite surprised to see kumquats in my local supermarket and was compelled to buy a few punnets to try and recreate my mum's kumquat pickle achar, especially since I finally have Aunty Soerie's recipe. PS: the recipe is from a book whose name I am unable to determine from the picture I received.
Tips to make the best Kumquat Pickle Achar
- The original recipe used mangos but over the years my mum and her friend Soeriya used it successfully for other fruits or vegetables they wanted to make pickle achar with.
- The same recipe may be used for mango pickles or dried fruit achar.
- I made a few adjustments to the original recipe and added turmeric and asfoetida.
- You may remove the pips when cutting the kumquats but this may destroy the fruit so I didn't bother.
- Ensure that the pot used for the vinegar mixture is large enough to add the tempered mixture to later without bubbling over and making a mess.
- I used 1 cup white grape vinegar and 1 cup apple cider vinegar, although you may use only white vinegar. Do not use brown grape vinegar or all apple cider vinegar as it may make the end result a dark brown color.
- I substituted fenugreek seeds, turmeric and asfoetida for methi masala.
Spicy Kumquat Pickle Achar
Soaking ingredients
- 1.5 litre water lukewarm
- 15 ml bicarbonate of soda also called baking soda
Pickle achar mix
- 1.25 kg kumquats
- 25 ml salt, approximately 5 teaspoons
- 5 ml turmeric powder, approximately 1 teaspoon
- 60 ml chili powder, approximately 4 tablespoons
- 30 ml cumin seeds, approximately 2 tablespoons
- 15 ml coriander seeds, approximately 1 tablespoons, lightly crushed
- 45 ml fenugreek seeds, approximately 3 tablespoons, coarsely ground
- 500 ml sugar, approximately 2 cups
- 500 ml vinegar, approximately 2 cups
- 125 ml corn flour, approximately 1/2 cup
- 125 ml water
Tempering mix
- 375 ml sunflower oil, approximately 1 1/2 cups
- 30 ml mustard seeds, approximately 2 tablespoons
- 8 green chili's slit
- 10 cloves garlic half sliced, half grated
- 5 ml asfoetida powder, approximately 1 tsp
- 2 bunches curry leaves
Place the kumquats in a medium size non-reactive or plastic bowl and remove any fruits with mouldy spots or small lesions as this will cause the entire batch to decay.
Cover with 1.25 litres lukewarm water and add the bicarbonate soda and mix through until dissolved.
Leave the fruit to soak for 20 minutes then place in a strainer, rinse under running water and drain. This should remove any dirt, mould spores and other residues.
Allow the fruits to air dry or dry them lightly with kitchen paper before use.
How to prepare the kumquats
Remove the green stem and slice each kumquat lengthways from the middle to the bottom end, without cutting them in half.
Place all the cut kumquats in a large non-reactive stainless steel or glass bowl, then sprinkle over the salt, turmeric, chili powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and fenugreek seeds.
Toss the fruits in the bowl to ensure the spices are distributed evenly and allow to sit while you prepare the other items.
Mix the corn flour and half cup water together in a cup ensuring there are no lumps.
In a large pot, bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil then add the corn flour and water slurry, whisking continuously to ensure it doesn't clump.
After 2-3 minutes when the vinegar mixture has thickened and the corn flour is cooked, add the kumquats and cook for a further 2 minutes on low heat to allow the spices and vinegar mix to infuse, then remove from the heat.
Tempering the spices
Heat a clean dry pot over medium-high heat with the oil and when it shimmers add the mustard seeds, chilis, garlic, asfoetida and curry leaves then reduce the heat to medium.
The mustard seeds will pop and the chilis, garlic and curry leaves may sputter so take care when tempering the spices.
This should take no more than 2-3 minutes and you must remove from the heat before the garlic turns brown or the spices burn.
Add the hot oil mixture to the kumquat and vinegar / corn flour mixture and mix through with a big spoon until it forms a thick emulsified coating.
Allow the kumquat pickle achar to cool before decanting into sterilized preserving jars.
Store at room temperature and up to 2 months before use. Refrigerate after use.
Recipe Notes
- The same recipe may be used for mango pickles.
- You may remove the pips when cutting the kumquats but this may destroy the fruit so I didn't bother.
- Ensure that the pot used for the vinegar mixture is large enough to add the tempered mixture to later.
- I used 1 cup white grape vinegar and 1 cup apple cider vinegar, although you may use only white vinegar. Do not use brown grape vinegar or all apple cider vinegar as it may make the end result a dark brown color.
- I substituted fenugreek seeds, turmeric and asfoetida for methi masala.

Without warning Thursday night, Drake treated his fans with a new album called "If You're Reading This It's Too Late."
Rumors of new music from the Toronto artist started to gain steam earlier this week, with most expecting fresh tunes in the form of a mixtape to celebrate the six-year anniversary of "So Far Gone," the mixtape that put Drake on the map.
Instead, he released a full-length, 17-track album with features from Lil Wayne, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Travi$ Scott and production from Boi-1da, Noah "40" Shebib, Wondagurl and more.
http://t.co/KcZooNLcPE pic.twitter.com/s6krTAeuke
— Drizzy (@Drake) February 13, 2015
The surprise tactic mirrors the release of Beyoncé's self-titled fifth album in 2013, perhaps indicating a possible trend of well-known and established artists shunning traditional means of promotion and marketing in favor of musical ambushes.
But the album also comes on the heels of Drake's short film "Jungle," which he released earlier in the day. The 15-minute video follows Drake around his hometown, and features clips from his childhood and snippets of two songs from the album.
Previously, Drake stated that his next album would be "Views From the 6." Whether or not this new project is that album just renamed or an appetizer for the main dish is unclear at the moment. Regardless, you can download "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" on iTunes and watch "Jungle" below.

Anglers' Paradise for Billfish: Offshore Fishing in the Waters of the Osa Peninsula
The beautiful blue waters of the Osa Peninsula are abundant in majestic billfish that dance off the waters and give any sport fishermen a challenge when trying to reel them in. With sunshine and warm days most of the year and a pristine biodiverse environment that is not exploited, there is nothing like heading out in the waters here early in the morning to catch a billfish, especially the legendary marlin. With expert Captains and boats loaded with the latest technology, Crocodile Bay is known as the anglers dream destination for world-class fishing. According to the Billfish Foundation, Anglers contribute $599 million annually in direct and indirect revenue to the Costa Rican economy, so keeping the fish stock abundant keeps people coming here year after year.

After a few years' practice at Royston in Norfolk, he matriculated at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1844. Graduating as B.A. in 1849, he was a house physician at King's College Hospital before being appointed, in 1850, physician-accoucheur and lecturer on midwifery at the Middlesex Hospital. He was the first dean of the Medical School at the Hospital (1856-58).

Summer is definitely on its way! The sun is starting to shine and those who worked hard in the winter are starting to see results with their summer bodies. If you've visited my blog before you'll know that I have struggled to find any motivation for my exercise routine but I think I've finally found the missing secret. A couple of weeks ago you may have seen my Lean Greens First Impressions post. In there you'll see what arrived ready to kick start my fitness. Here is the round up! Enjoy my Lean Greens Review.
No, this is not a fad diet, meal replacement, detox tea. We all know I'm not the biggest fan of some of those. These little heaped tea spoons of green goodness promise to replenish the well needed goodness your body sometimes goes without.
It it doesn't effect your body in too much of a harsh way. You aren't stuck needing to be next to the toilet for a month to get any slight results; you don't have to skip meals or starve yourself. All you need to do is add one heaped tea spoon of Lean Greens to cold water every morning before breakfast. And that's it. No really.
Within a month of using this product, the results have been insane. I have so much more energy, I am far less bloated – which means my clothes are fitting much better. Yes, it has contributed towards me losing weight but not in an unhealthy way. I have been more aware of my diet, for example what I should be putting into my body (excusing those cocktails at the weekend) and as a result I've managed to lose a couple of pounds.
The people over at Lean Greens contributed this loss of bloating to healthier bowel movement (sorry) and this has definitely been the case with Lean Greens.
I have also had a boost of energy in the mornings from using the product. At first, the taste of the Lean Greens was a little difficult to stomach – it's a far cry from a bacon sandwich or coco pops. But once I started seeing the results the couple of seconds of unpleasantness was easier to stomach. And like my lovely mum always said, if you keep trying something you'll end up liking it. And that is definitely what's happened!!
What first resembled fresh cut grass now feels like my morning boost before my fruit and healthy day!
I could not recommend this product enough and my boyfriend and sisters have all started using it as a result of me reviewing it. It is so healthy and oh so easy. You literally have to allocate three minutes of your morning to drinking it and you're done. No skipping meals, no ridiculous crash diets. It just works!
You can find Lean Greens here.

MARA's CPD REQUIREMENTS
After reviewing the CPD system, the MARA launched the new CPD framework in February 2011. Any MPE course offered will be approved for the purpose of CPD points.
Mandatory CPD
There are mandatory CPD requirements that must be met by certain agents for the purposes of repeat registration. You can check which mandatory activities, if any, you must complete for repeat registration on the MARA website – https://www.mara.gov.au/becoming-an-agent/professional-development/cpd-requirements/
You may also obtain further information by contacting the MARA https://www.mara.gov.au/contact-us/
MPE'S CPD Express course program has been specifically designed for practitioners with at least three years experience as a registered migration agent. Unless they are practising lawyers or accountants, such agents are only required to do one mandatory CPD activity per year and can therefore complete all their CPD obligations at our program. Part 2 of MPE's CPD Express course program has been approved by the MARA as satisfying the mandatory activity requirement.
Certain legal practitioners and accountants need only complete ONE MORNING OF CPD with us!
The MARA permits certain agents who also practice in the legal and/or accounting professions to claim four (4) MARA CPD points when applying for repeat registration if they provide proof of one of the following with their application:
This means that those agents who qualify for this exemption need only complete 6 MARA CPD points with us in order to meet MARA's repeat registration requirements. We offer 6 MARA CPD points in ONE MORNING in Part 1 of our CPD Express course program. For further information about this CPD exemption, please check the MARA website: https://www.mara.gov.au/becoming-an-agent/professional-development/cpd-requirements/

There are lots of counter products which are very useful to kill the pests, you may purchase it from the market or you may go through the Web. There is nothing like using a professional pest exterminator in New York come out into your home and rid your house of rodents, insects and much more.
Save time
In case you've got a minor problem with rodents or roaches, you have lots of choices to eliminate these. Visiting the shop and receiving an assortment of sprays can do just fine for some time, but you can soon see that the bugs come back again with a vengeance.
Killing bugs is not ever an exciting endeavor, yet it's a must. And there are a lot of products on the marketplace; you might not understand what to select if you are doing the job yourself. Also, even in the event that you discover something, you won't really be sure how secure it's to spray in your house around your loved ones and pets.

Inked in: Tattoo artist throws partyMarch 2017 Posted in Community
Got ink? If not, and you want some, Tattoo Artist Luke Sims would find it an honor to create permanent art on your body. Sims, 40, is the owner of The Silverton Tattoo Co., which he opened March 1, 2016 at 201 Oak St.
"If somebody walks in here and I have the opportunity to make him or her happy and change their life, that's what I want to do," he said.
Sims will celebrate his one-year anniversary on March 4 beginning at 9 p.m. at Mac's Place, 201 N. Water St. In addition to free T-shirts, he'll be giving away $1,000 worth of tattoos. There will be live band karaoke with the Flextones.
Sims has three sons with his former wife, Jamie Nida, who was born and raised in Silverton. Raymond, 11, Ryan, 9 and Royce, 5, all attend Silverton schools.
"There's no better place to raise your kids than Silverton," he said. "I decided to open a shop here so my children could come see me when they get out of school. The town's been amazing to us."
Sims fell in love with tattoos when he was 15. His friend's mother was a bass player in a local rock band. He spent a lot of time at their house.
"Some guy came over one night and started tattooing her," he recalled. "Only bikers and rock stars were tattooed back then. I sat there and watched every single thing the guy did. I was completely fascinated."
Sims said Oregon requires tattoo artists to complete hours of book study and to pass two tests. In addition, 150 hours of tattoo experience with at least 50 procedures is required.
There are two basic methods of tattooing: outlining and shading. Tattoo border lines hold everything together.
"I have seen tattoos done without lines and after seven, eight or nine years later they are a faded blur," Sims said. But shading can show its appeal with tattoos such as baby feet, where line borders could take away from its intended softer edges.
While there are benefits to each method, Sims prefers the aesthetic of a lined tattoo. He offers simple advice to those who may struggle between a tattoo's quality and price: "A cheap tattoo isn't good, and a good tattoo isn't cheap."
Before a client gets a tattoo, Sims shares some insight, making sure the client is comfortable and knowledgeable about what is happening.
With the vintage "Mom" tattoos getting popular again, Sims said American Traditional is a very hipster thing. "Now they're far more elaborate with lace, etc.."
"Name hearts" are also popular, where clients have a loved one's name tattooed inside of a heart-shaped outline.
Sims' father, a former pastor, is not a fan of tattoos. But he is supportive of his son's talents.
"My dad is my hero. He's definitely of the mindset of the body is a temple. But I tell him all the time 'where have you seen a temple that isn't decorated?'"

Jamo, a Klipsch Group brand, has just announced their Jamo 360 Series speakers. The new series is intended to provide audio performance, while making a visual statement.
Challenging traditional in box-speaker design, the Jamo 360 Series satellite and center channel speakers introduce fresh, high-design form factors that are intended to showcase simplicity and elegance by way of spherical bodies.
Jamo has stated that this new 360 Series combines Danish design and Jamo audio performance at their finest. Design and engineering has been done to provide listeners with an open, clear and undeniably musical sound, while integrating beautifully with contemporary decor.
The Jamo 360 Series is comprised of three models, including two satellite speakers (360 S 25 and 360 S 35) and one center channel speaker (360 C 35). Available for purchase in two 5.0 passive home theater packages, the 360 S 35 HCS is equipped with four 360 S 35 speakers and a 360 C 35 center channel, while the 360 S 25 HCS features five 360 S 25 speakers. The recommended subwoofer for use with either system is the Jamo Sub 800.
Engineered with exclusive Omnipolar technology, Jamo 360 Series speakers utilize innovative tweeter and woofer baffle positioning to disperse sound equally in all directions to allow for limitless positioning options. Incorporated across the three products are lightweight and generously-sized-given the small speakers-aluminum dome tweeters capable of advanced power handling and coverage of a larger frequency range for distinctive detail. Long-throw woofers enable the movement of more air to register significantly low frequencies for extended bass response.
Each 360 HCS system is available in a high-gloss black or high-gloss white finish, with each possessing brushed-aluminum bases and unique, high-gloss metallic grilles to ensure cohesiveness with any living environment. Featuring high-quality aluminum posts and alloy bases, the speakers can be adjusted to ensure easy wall mounting. Included binding posts that are integrated into the aluminum alloy bases also make for clean cable management-eliminating the eye sore of unkempt wires.
The Jamo 360 S 35 HCS and 360 S 25 HCS will be available for purchase at authorized retailers in November 2012. Look for more details at: www.Jamo.com.

The School is run by a Catholic non-profit organisation in a very poor area of Arequipa. It is a large school, catering for 800 children from the start of primary right through to the end of school. The organisation also runs services for younger children nearby, as well as dining halls and a home for the elderly. The classes are run by professional teachers, who are paid a wage from donations secured by the organisation that runs it.
The Children
The children who attend the school range in age from 4 to 17 years old. Living in poverty often brings with it many problems such as domestic abuse, addiction, neglect, alcoholism, risk of early pregnancy, malnutrition, health issues etc. Attending school offers these children a safe environment and an opportunity to create a better life for themselves.
Volunteer Role
Volunteers at the school help the professional teachers in their classes. The teacher will normally be present but may leave the class at some points. For volunteers to make a valuable contribution in this role, they must be able to use their initiative, be confident, have a good level of Spanish (intermediate am/) and have some experience of working with children/teaching. The school accepts volunteers from 21 to 60 years old with an Intermediate level of Spanish. If you do not currently speak Spanish, you can take a course with us before you start your volunteer placement.
The minimum volunteer period for this project is 4 weeks, although we strongly recommend that you stay for longer as we can almost guarantee you won't want to leave after such a short amount of time!
Volunteers work at the school from 8am to 2pm, and may also choose to stay on to help with the English club, and music, art, theatre and sports activities in the after-school club from 2pm to 4pm. This later shift may also be available to other volunteers, without the requirement to work in the mornings.
The school is open Monday – Friday from March to mid-December (with a 2 week winter break in mid-July)
Any donation is welcomed and helpful for the organization. It could be money but also clothes, games, toys etc. We recommend that you do not bring items from your own country however, as we have found it is more effective to wait until you arrive and find out what is needed at the time. If you buy items in Arequipa it is also beneficial for the local economy and you will probably find that your money will go further (plus it doesn't take up space in your luggage!)

Basic Bike Mechanic 101
Basic Bike Mechanic 101 Classes are offered every Thursday night at 6:00 pm. Everyone is welcome and the classes are free. Each week we focus on a different component of the bike, so the classes can be taken as stand-alone classes, or in series. There is no sign-up necessary and students get to work on bikes and use the tools in the shop.
Bike Mechanic Apprenticeship Program
The Bike Mechanic Apprenticeship Program (Bike MAP) is an intensive 8-week course designed to teach students the basic skills they would need to obtain employment in a bike shop. Through the class, students will overhaul a complete bike, and practice the skills they learn in the shop. The course is offered periodically as time and resources allow and requires students to commit to 5-10 hours/week of class and work time in the shop. At the end of the course, those who complete the homework and pass the midterm and final tests are given a Certificate of Completion. To participate, perspective students need to complete an application and submit it to the Director and class instructor. They will then be interviewed. Space is limited, so current volunteers and individuals who are interested in employment in the bike industry are given preference. Keep an eye on our website, Facebook page, and Instagram for information on upcoming Bike MAP opportunities.

Ready to serve the nation
Former Boorowa Central Student Matt Batt, has recently graduated from the Royal Australian Navy Recruitment school and is now embarking on an exciting career in the armed services.
Surrounded by excited family and friends, Matt graduated with his class in a ceremony on July 20 at the prestigious HMAS Cerberus training facility near Melbourne.
Matt had to endure an intensive eleven week program before graduating into the mainstream Navy core in a program that is designed to ensure applicants have the "Right Stuff" to adapt to life in the Royal Australian Navy.
Initially applicants have little contact with the outside world and are only allowed certain privileges with the passing of weeks in this intense program.
Not all his peers made it through the training program but those that did now look forward to promising careers with friendships already forged for life.
Matt now intends to continue his career in Communications and Information Systems (CIS) where sailors are trained to operate the Navy's telecommunications systems using equipment which span the communications spectrum.
Sailors in the CIS also perform visual communication and operates and administers a number of local and wide area information technology networks used in the fleet.
It's a demanding life style, but one that Matt's proud relatives and friends that attended the ceremony are sure he will adapt to.
There's little time for recreation but Matt has already been scouted by those in the rugby union ranks and no doubt they already like what they see.
Matt recently had his first game of rugby union with the Cerberus "Doggies" which they won by a whopping 95-0.
Matt was awarded two points for the match and picked up the game medal as well.
That news wouldn't surprise local footy fans as Matt has been an instrumental member of both Boorowa Rugby Union and Rugby League teams.
Matt will continue to be stationed in Victoria whilst undertaking further training in his chosen field before he will receive a further posting in coming months.
He is just another example of how Students from our small town are making their mark on a much larger stage.

Spiraling Upward: The 5 Co-Creative Powers for Women on the Rise
By Wendy Wallbridge
Women comprise 51 percent of the world's population, make up over half the workforce, and control 85 percent of consumer decisions. Never before have women been so degreed or so represented as decision makers in all areas of influence. Why, then, do we still feel as if success eludes us? Why do we sometimes struggle to keep our drive alive? The linear, heads-down, forward-at-all-cost approach to success that has been forged by men will never take us to the heart of fulfillment. Women are not designed for the straight and narrow path. But until now there hasn't been another choice. Pioneering corporate coach Wendy Wallbridge recognizes this unmet need of professional women for an alternative path to success. Spiraling Upward: The 5 Co-Creative Powers for Women on the Rise offers a cogent, step-by-step roadmap for professional women to unlock their power and achieve success on their own terms. The "Spiral Up" method teaches women to cultivate the five co-creative powers of energy, thoughts, feelings, speech, and action--the fundamentals of self-creation--in order to redefine success and re-author their lives. If you're ready to rise up and express your creativity, authenticity, voice, and power to effect the changes you want, Spiraling Upward will show you the way. Complete with easy-to-follow steps and exercises, as well as inspiring stories of successful women, this book offers a cogent road map for professional women looking to unlock their power and achieve success on their own terms.
..".An essential roadmap for all women who want to uncover their power and create more confidence." --Claire Shipman, best-selling author and senior national correspondent for "Good Morning America" ""Spiraling Upward" leads the inquiry so many women are involved with now: how do we balance our lives in a way that nourishes both our external and internal selves? Articulating the right questions, Walbridge provides some great answers." --Marianne Williamson, author of "A Return to Love" and many other NYT best-sellers "Wendy offers a transformational roadmap for women to find and live from their highest calling by activating the best of their feminine and masculine strengths to evolve and flourish." -- John Gray, PhD, author of the NYT best-seller "Men Are from Mars, Women are From Venus" "Inspired, DIY transformation..."Spiraling Upward" offers a step-by-step manual for tapping into our essential power, unique brilliance, and deepest joy at a time in our world when our gifts are most needed!" --Marci Shimoff, NYT bestselling author "In a world that is increasingly social, interdependent and transparent, women have the advantage. Wendy's Spiral Up! roadmap shows women how to seize this moment in order to shape their futures and remake the world." --John Gerzema, author of the NYT best-seller "The Athena Doctrine" ""Spiraling Upward" offers a practical and inspirational solution to the hesitation we often feel as women to put ourselves out there in daring and authentic ways that can touch and change the world. --Lynne Twist, global activist and author, "The Soul of Money"

It appears there are two evaluation versions of Teradata:
Teradata Virtual Machine Community Edition.
Teradata express for VMware Player
Could someone clarify which is best for evaluation purposes? I will be testing Teradata with Oracle Golden Gate to load the DB, so ETL integration is my use case but I am interetested in hearing the pros and cons of each version. (Both seem to require VMWare preinstalled if I read correctly)
The main difference is the VMWare software, you need a full vSphere ESXI for TVME and just Player/Fusion for TDE.
Additionally TVME allows more AMPs (RAM/disks) while TDE is 2 AMPs only, thus performance might be different.
If you don't have a VMWare Server in your company there's no choice...
TD15.10 is currently only available as TDE.
To deploy community edition virtual machine you need to set up VMWare environment.
If you do not have a VM Ware environment, then you can use Teradata express for VM player.
Download and install VM player from VMWare website and then from vm player open the teradata express virtual machine.

Sony take drastic measures, hire former U.S. Department of Homeland Security official
Drastic times call for drastic measures, and Sony believes that is the case. In the wake of Sony's ridiculous Hack back in April which resulted Playstation Network (PSN) Servers going down for a month, Sony has decided to take a step in the right direction (potentially) by hiring an Official former U.S. Department of Homeland Security official Philip Reitinger to take charge of their security by offering him a Senior Vice President position. We couldn't really imagine a better step for Sony than hiring someone who's life is security, as he used to be the U.S. National Cyber Security Center director.
This is a man who was in charge of the Center which protected the U.S. National Cyber Security, so we can safely assume the man was competent at his job. When asked, a Sony spokesperson addressed the issue, stating, "certainly the network issue was a catalyst for the appointment." which we feel is fair enough considering that Sony probably know their systems aren't up to scratch with those Hackers that ripped the servers to shreds (figuratively speaking). It's a good move by Sony, and if it results in the PSN never being hacked again, or down for a month due to hackings, then Sony have our blessings.

homeway is another conceptual architectural project from the architects of terreform 1 led by
dr. mitchell joachim. the project focuses on how cities can extend into the suburbs sustainably.
their idea is to mount suburban homes on wheels having them drive into the city by day and back
again at night. in their vision, city highways would be enhanced with an intelligent renewable
infrastructure that would serve these mobile home structures. 'in the future, the physical home will
remain permanent but its location will be transient. our static suburbs will be transformed into
a dynamic and deployable flow. houses will have the option to switch from parked to low speed.
homes, big box retail, movie theaters, supermarkets, business hubs, food production, and power
plants will depart from their existing sprawled communities and line up along highways to create
a truly breathing interconnected metabolic urbanism. dense ribbons of food, energy, waste and
water elements will follow the direction of moving population clusters.'

Russian Cultural and Science Center, Mitra Kunja, Nepal Russia ICT Society and Cyber Chautari jointly organized the event called IT in Mass Education on the occasion of World Literacy Day. This program was held in Russian Cultural Center, Kamalpokhari Kathmandu Nepal on 7th september. The program was kind of interaction program, some participants were related with education, some were working with Library in Nepal, some were environment, some were business man and some were related with social entrepreneur as well.
The program was scheduled for two papers, first was Re-enforcement of early learning by Prabin Gautam and second was FOSS in Education by Hempal Shrestha. Prabin dai start with overview of Literacy and current statistics, Statistics was interesting somehow, Today Nepal literacy reached 61%, 95 % of households in Nepal are with in 30 minutes of access to the nearest school, 75 % rich people are literate while as 45 % of poor are only literate, the literacy rate of male and female in Nepal is 72 % and 45 % only. Prabin dai also mention some method of learning in Nepal, not only formal and regular school model is not enough to make better literacy in Nepal beside it here are some practice such as social learning class: given by NGo's or government agencies, adult education ( where over age people can get education), informal education(not like school courses), There is also other famous and successful model like Reverse instructions Or blended learning, where any one can learn any where using inernet.
Prabin dai list out some challenges for e-learning in nepal.
- Internet connection
- Reluctance to use: nervous to use or hesitate to use
- Exposure channels
- Volunteers to pick up open source programs
- Less trust in free stuff
- Initiatives to use IT for education in big way
- Takes away valuable work from so called experts
- Reliance on others to show path
He showed demo on eBarnamanal, very easy tool
Second presenter was Hempal Shrestha, he had given on FOSS in Education. Hempal dai continue from the from where Prabin dai finished, he also showed some tools and demo on nepali tools develop by nepali for nepal such as epathi……
Later he moved on his topic, introducing FOSS technology, FOSS software and FOSS philosophy. He explained the base of idea of Free in the scene of Freedom, some level of freedom and some basic of licensing. He put his work very clearly in terms of Foss are programs whose licenses give users the[with] freedom to run them for any purpose to study and modify them and to redistribute.
He showed some rule that opensource software should follow. He touch some history of this concept called FOSS.
Hempal dai make points for connection of FOSS and educations
- Ethically motivation begins
- General licensing models: offer open to all, no explicit agreement necessary
- The centrality of community : Pooling of resources
He showed lot of open source education tools that can be used very easily, and are available very openly. He also cover the involvement of FOSS Nepal Community in the field of education as well.
In this way, we celebrate IT in Mass Education on the occasion of World Literacy Day.

It's like starting all over again. You can be whomever you want to be. And other lies. 3/2/2011
It's funny the things people will say when you enter a difficult situation. My family was uprooted from the upper-middle-class subburbs of a major metropolitan city with 300 days of sun at the end of Jr. High. We settled in a mill town in a small rural area of a state that sees 30 days of sun a year. The entire time my parents sang chorusses of "But you can remake yourself! You can be anything you want! You get to start fresh!"
Dude, I was 13. I was fresh. I had no idea who I was in the first place. Also, these people don't peg their pants like we do and why aren't they wearing neon?
Did I mention it was 1989?
Similar in a way only I could make the metaphorical leap, learning Java in grad school brought me to tears. I remember telling people I'd rather have sharp pins stuck under the bed of my toe nail for fun. "But you'll refresh yourself! You'll learn something so useful! You'll be renewed!"
Did I mention it was 2004 and Java was the de facto language for All Things Ever? And oh, memorize this chart and create a program like pong. Thank you.
I feel the same queasy, uncomfortable awful when I'm asked to write a bio about myself. "You can be anything! Put your strengths out there! Say who you are but, you know, better!"
Oh god, so don't write a professional bio that says I sweat more than most women when I'm nervous, forget about calling it the "glow" and oh, can you hand me a towel because I need to dab my armpits.
There is no cussing in a professional bio. This greatly limits the number of words I can think of to exclaim my powers.
I enjoy writing. Writing is, in my case, the way my brain organizes thought. I do it daily. I write to remember dates, bills, commitments. I write to create flow charts of thought from jumbled masses of uncertainty. I write because it is the one expression I have which freely flows above second guessing and doubt.
So why do I clam up in a sweaty gassy mess when I have to write a bio?
I've been meditating on my bio for the past two weeks. Literally. I'll sit in yoga in child's pose and try to picture what it should say. This is not as morbid, maybe, as trying to write your obituary. Only I have to be accountable for the words I write and I don't get to say glowing things like, "The greatest accomplishment of Leslie's life was catching the Rainbow fart of a Unicorn. For this, she won a nobel prize." Instead, I have to live with the consequences of this one pass intro to who I am. I have an entire blog full of WHO I AM but here I sit, dumfounded, trying to tap out a 3 line bio.
Who knew asking such a small, normal task would lead to so much self inflicted doubt and struggle?
I'll just be sitting here…
