La Jollan turns troubled past into success
By Erika Ostroff
InternAt age 10, Scott H. Silverman was darting pushpins at the teacher's back and priding himself on being the class rebel.
In an attempt to curb Silverman's behavior, his parents sent him to a private school, Francis Parker. They hoped the small classroom sizes and a smaller student-to-teacher ratio would bring an end to his inappropriate behavior.
He stopped tormenting teachers, but found a new vice - alcohol and drugs. Then, some years later, he attempted suicide.
Fortunately for Silverman, he wasn't successful in ending his life. He found success in another way.
After about six years of painstaking rehabilitation, Silverman got sober and began involving himself in volunteer work. After exceeding an amassed 4,000 community service hours during a four-year period, Silverman discovered his passion for helping others.
Silverman started Second Chance Program San Diego, a human services agency that is committed to breaking the cycles of substance abuse, poverty and unemployment by offering counseling and, ultimately, inspiration.
What was once viewed as the wrong path in life proved to be nothing more than a temporary detour for Silverman.
Starting a nonprofit
Family business experience and his own struggle with drugs helped him get involved in drug and gang eradication. Intrigued by this former drug addict's new clean path in life, "druggies," alcoholics and ex-convicts approached him for help. Eventually, word of mouth led to masses to want to meet with Silverman, in hopes that he would help better their lives.
Silverman picked up a book at the library that taught him how to start his own nonprofit organization. After about six months, Silverman led several fundraisers and created a board of directors, which bore life to his organization.
Second Chance and its affiliate
In 1993, Silverman founded Second Chance program. Second Chance aims to help people get and keep jobs while providing access to affordable housing. The organization has become an affiliate of Strive, a program based out of Harlem, N.Y., and geared to take people off of the streets and put them to work. Strive is a worldwide program, with 12 in the United States, and others in London, Scotland, Ireland and Israel. Attendees take part in a three-week job readiness program and a two-year follow up, which guides and prepares them for life in the workforce.
"I believe the key phrase to this program is that you need to have an address to keep a job and a job to keep an address," Silverman said. "You cannot do one without the other and you cannot survive with only one."
Silverman was recently named "CNN Hero of the Week" and has been honored by the city of San Diego with "Scott Silverman Day," which is Feb. 19. Silverman has also penned his journey in a novel, "Tell Me No, I Dare You."

Mr. and Mrs. Martinez
"I use Testimonial Generator often. Dennise and Daniel were instrumental in helping us find our latest home after trying to do it ourselves just became to frustrating. They found us the perfect house in the perfect location. As we had never bought a brand new home they assisted us with all of the unknowns so that we felt extremely confident on our decisions to make this latest purchase our new home in Texas. – Highly likely to recommend Dennise and Daniel"
Mr. and Mrs. Hejazi
"Daniel and Dennise helped us to find a house here in San Antonio and the level of his service was excellent. We have had some experience in working with real estate agents and were very impressed with Daniel and Dennise. I would not only recommend them, but call them again when we need real estate services in the future."
Mr. Torres
"Daniel and Dennise are extremely knowledgeable in his profession. I was a first time buyer and they made my home purchase go smoothly. They will go above and beyond to make sure you get what you are looking and are honest about the property you are interested in. Doesn't stop there, they are aggressive in negotiating your offer. Would definitely recommend Daniel and Denise to anyone purchasing a home or their first home"
Bobby & Catt, U.S. Airforce
"Daniel and Dennise are great realtors. Their priorities are making sure you have the perfect home, no matter how difficult the task. They makes you their number one priority and are knowledgeable about homes, builders, neighborhoods, and the local area. They were always quick to get back to us and gives great advice. I would recommend Daniel and Dennise 10 times out of 10!"
Mr. and Mrs. Juan. A., U.S. Army
"If you are active military or a veteran, it doesn't get much better than this group!! We spoke, interviewed and worked with several military agents and companies. We felt most used their military background or that they were part of the wounded warrior in order for you to work with them. As a wounded warrior myself, I quickly understood we were not a priority to them from their lack of communication, excuses, and high pressure sales to buy one of their properties that we felt was overprice. How they received five star ratings was beyond us. We finally had enough.
We were referred to The Pedroza Real Estate Group (Dennise and Daniel) by a few of our active military and veteran friends in San Antonio, Texas. Dennise and Daniel went above and beyond to ensure we got the best deal, service and home we could ask for. Dennise and Daniel stayed in communication with us during the entire process of buying our home. They are extremely knowledgeable about the San Antonio market and areas they serves. Dennise and Daniel made the entire process of selling our small home and buy a new home easy and treated us like we were family. We are glad we chose to work with The Pedroza Real Estate Group and would highly recommend Dennise and Daniel in San Antonio to work with for selling or buying your home."

What's your hobby? Do you like to watch movies, anime or TV series? Prefer to occupy your free time with activities such as cooking, gardening or baking? For whatever kind of hobby you may have be it something to do indoors or something that's more of an outside kind of thing, show your love for it through custom-made items such as clothing and personal accessories.
You can perhaps buy such things ready-made from the hobby stores near you. However, the prices displayed aren't typically budget-friendly. If money isn't an issue for you then go ahead and splurge to your heart's content. But, if you're like most of us who need to save up for potentially rainy days, then the best option for you is to create your own custom merchandise.
Where to Customise?
Nowadays, there are lots of places you can go to in order to make your own personalised merch. If you choose to do so at a local store nearby, that's fine as long as the price is affordable. Though, it'd be much easier if you just did it online as you don't have to waste gas money (if you're driving) or tire yourself out from the drive to and back from the store which depending on the store's service could require you to do so multiple times.
Online alone there are so many websites to choose from that'll allow you to custom-design your own gifts, items, and accessories. The benefit of creating a custom-made design for your hobby is that it's undeniably convenient since you can do it from basically anywhere and the only thing you'll really need is a good Wi-Fi connection. What's more, if you choose the right website, you'll even be able to create a personalised item at a much cheaper price than if you were to do it at a mall or gift store.
What to Customise?
Now, on to the question of what to customise. Most likely, you already have an idea of what to custom-design for your hobby. Though, if you're still on the fence about what item would be good to display your interest on, below are some items that would make great custom-made gift items either for yourself or for your loved ones.
If you enjoy drinking out of a mug be it for hot or cold drinks then this is the item for you. Onto the plain mug, you can print out any sort of image, text or artwork. For instance, if your hobby is related to baking, you can print out the words "I'm a whisk taker" along with an image of a whisk. Or, if you're a tea lover, you can just print out the words "You're my cup of tea".
Who here doesn't wear t-shirts on a daily basis? Even if it's not your usual choice of clothes for outings, you'll still wear it at home. There's a reason why nearly everyone in the entire world owns t-shirts and if you still need to ask why then you must be part of the one percent or even less than one percent of the population who don't own t-shirts. So custom-create a wonderful design for this comfortable and essential piece of clothing with stylish images or funny quotes such as "I've got 99 problems but cooking ain't one". For anime lovers out there, you can print your favorite anime quotes or even their picture.
Just like t-shirts, bags are present in practically every aspect of our lives. We use them for school, work, outings, shopping, and lots more. Therefore, customise this indispensable item with a famous quote from a movie you love. Or, if your hobby is gardening, print onto it the words "I love gardening, from my head tomatoes". For something slightly more scandalous, just a midge though, you can print out "I like it when you talk dirt to me".

Friese, Carrie ORCID: 0000-0001-7144-8046 (2010) Classification conundrums: categorizing chimeras and enacting species preservation. Theory and Society, 39 (2). pp. 145-172. ISSN 0304-2421Full text not available from this repository.
Sociologists have challenged the discipline to account for and incorporate biological factors in their analyses. Heeding this call, this article asks how chimeras, a particularly puzzling biological organism, are being officially classified in the interrelated sites of endangered species preservation and the zoo. Based on a qualitative study of endeavors to clone endangered animals, I contend that biology alone cannot determine the classification of these interspecies organisms. Rather, categorizing chimeras requires metaphoric, schematic references to more familiar entities. Here culture and biology are tools for classification, which has consequences for preservation practices and the materiality of endangered wildlife. Drawing on the sociology of culture, I show that positions on classification represent an intermediary space for interpreting the relationship between meaning and action in discourse elaboration. Building on the sociology of science and technology, I show the epistemological limitations of understanding the biological as an a priori factor.

From top: David McCourt with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar at a Science Foundation of Ireland event in new York, March 2018; Economist and associate professor at University of Limerick Stephen Kinsella
This morning.
Economist, associate professor at University of Limerick and Sunday Business Post columnist Stephen Kinsella spoke to RTÉ Radio One's Seán O'Rourke.
It followed Fine Gael Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed saying Granahan McCourt will be putting less than €200million into the National Broadband Project, compared with €3billion from Irish taxpayers.
Mr Creed's comments were made on Clare FM last Wednesday and reported by Justine McCarthy in The Sunday Times yesterday.
Mr O'Rourke asked Mr Kinsella for his thoughts on a ministerial press statement saying that Granahan McCourt is "responsible for €2.4billion towards costs" in relation to the project.
Mr Kinsella said:
"They have to run the network but they're not being paid to actually install it. We're paying them to install it. So the State fronts up the money first, builds up the network and they then operate the network.
"And in operating the network they recoup fees from the operators that they're going to contract out to – to sell you your broadband: Vodafone and so forth.
"So while they will have to invest that money, they'll be getting it in, in revenue as they do so. So the actual amount of the money that they front up, as the minister said, will be in the region of €180million.
"This time last week, we conservatively estimated, my colleagues Eoin Reeves and Donal Palcic, estimated it [the €180million figures] to be around €300million-€400million. And we assumed that we were very conservative when we assumed that."
Asked if he thinks it's a good deal for the State, Mr Kinsella said:
"…The negatives are that the advice from the Department of Public Expenditure has been ignored and the public spending code hasn't been adhered to. And we don't really have full confidence that the private sector is bearing enough of the risk to justify the amount of investment that the State is putting into it."
Given Mr Kinsella's earlier estimate of €300million to €400million now being confirmed as €180million, Mr O'Rourke asked Mr Kinsella: "how could they get it so cheap?"
Mr Kinsella replied:
"This is the question. It would be a very low-ball figure in the history of public-private partnerships like this and again my colleagues at the University of Limerick, Eoin Reeves, and and Donal Palcic are very well published on this, and around €300million-€400million would have been a conservative estimate. €180million seems quite low."
"But again we are where we are now. The Cabinet has decided to award preferential bidder status to this company. If they decided to cancel it tomorrow there could well be very serious legal implications for the State.
"So the question is, right now: What aspect within the contract structure exists, to make sure that three or four years down the line, this company can't just flip and asset strip it, extract the public value that is already put in there – that's the key question for me at least."

The Hole in MOHI's Heart
We've been using our new logo, designed for us by Sir Isaac, for a little while now. Today, when I look at this logo, I think of Mackenson and what feels like a hole in the heart of MOHI. For those who don't follow us on Facebook, here's the update... It is with deep sadness that we share this news with you today. Pastor Edon's oldest son, Mackenson Carries, died at home this morning (8/20/18) at the age of 28. Mackenson attended MOHI's school from second grade in 2000 when
The Next Step
Lex and I are really excited about the upcoming school year and some new systems and programs that we will be implementing. When MOHI began in March 2000, we signed up 362 children to attend our new, upcoming school. We rented a piece of land and built a big thatch building. That Fall, when the school opened, we had a very rainy season and only a tarp covering the building. The mud that would stick to our shoes was so heavy it was hard to even walk. Our teachers were troo

Happy Sunday! The "mature" women at the church in Thozin like to sit together in church and often sing together as a group. They work together to prepare for guests staying at conferences, they clean and decorate the church, and cook for events. They also set money aside to help pay for church events. All this and more, while raising children and caring for husbands and homes. They're pretty amazing folks. I LOVE these women!!!! I love our worship team, too!!! Edon Carri

My Simple Woman's Daybook: November 8, 2010
Outside my window…it is sunny, and clear and cool. It is supposed to warm up nicely today – the makings of a perfect fall day.
I am thinking….how much I enjoy all the windows in this new house. Our previous house was an "inside unit" townhouse and although we never thought it seemed dark or lacking in sunlight – little did we know how glorious morning sunlight pouring in from all sides really was!! Just one more reason to LOVE the morning!
I am thankful for….the sweet friends I have made while blogging. I was so touched by sweet comments, and even email, from many friends last week when I was MIA:) and unable to find time to blog. Most of you I have never met in person, and probably never will..at least not this side of eternity:)….but you are friends, nonetheless – encouragers along the way!! I am blessed to have "met" all of you.
I am wearing…my snugging robe….it feels so good in the mornings (especially these cool ones)!
I am remembering….Thanksgivings from years past. So many great memories….both as a little girl and then the years when my own children were the little ones! How quickly time goes by. I pray that Erica is finding wonderful ways to begin traditions with Miss Riley.
I am going…to get my haircut tomorrow – and not a minute too soon! And hopefully Mr. Rascal will get one as well (just not at the same salon)!!
I am reading….Life:Beautiful magazine. I really do enjoy this magazine.
I am hoping….to create new traditions for the upcoming holidays. Not as easy as it seems it should be – any hints???
On my mind….several very serious, and rather urgent, prayer requests. My heart is so heavy – but I am remembering what a "big" God we serve.
From the kitchen….we have made banana bread and pumpkin spice cookies lately and will be making pumkin bread today. And I wonder what's up with my diet??
Around the house….dust. Again. And we are tackling the windows this week – let that sunshine really shine in!! And then I might break into song…"Heavenly Sunlight..Heavenly Sunlight. Flooding my soul with glory divine." (pretend I didn't just squeak out that high note there!)
Plans for the week….could it actually be a quiet week?? That would be nice:) Maybe – just maybe! – I can get some more of the cruise pictures posted!
One of my favorite things….phone calls with Jordan!

Established industries are being disrupted by companies that leverage data to drive new customer experience and operational efficiencies. To maintain a competitive advantage, traditional organizations also need to innovate. But how? How can companies evolve culture and foster data-driven innovation? What are the barriers, pitfalls, and opportunities? Who has done this work successfully and what did they learn? In this session, the founder and CEO of Alation will discuss how data intelligence solutions empower data democratization, and drive a cultural shift from silos to collaboration, and from bias and gut-based decision making to systems-based science and data.

As a certified theme junkie there is nothing I enjoy more than changing the look of my device or browsing through the theme forums or BlackBerry App World for another design so as not to remain on the stock theme. If you feel the same, and who doesn't, then I do not need to remind you of mgdotnet (formerly bbthemelab) and his wonderful designs. Each of their OS7 creations keeps getting better and better and one of their latest, iL7 is no different. With the plethora of themes hitting the store this one stands out with its clean, bright and colorful design.
iL7 features transparent menus, an amazing icon set that includes new focus and hover icons, custom fonts and colors, and a great clutter free home screen that takes away the carrier and mobile network icons. There's a little bit of something here for everyone to enjoy and being wallpaper friendly you can mix and match it with all of your favorite backgrounds. iL7 is built off of the stock OS7 design so there is no missing icon issue in the folders to worry about.
Theme lovers will enjoy the simplistic and clean design, low file size, how fast it runs, and that it livens up your display with the sparkling blue and purple background. iL7 does not pose a battery or resource drain so if you're a heavy BlackBerry abuser like myself it runs smoothly. This theme is compatible with BlackBerry 9350/60/70/90 and 9900/30/81 and is currently on sale for $.99 in BlackBerry App World.

With the Assembly elections just two months away,infighting in the Sabarkantha district Congress has come out in the open.
A group of party leaders took out a rally in Himmatnagar on Wednesday and made a representation to state Leader of Opposition Shaktisinh Gohil,requesting him not to give ticket to sitting Khedbrahma Congress MLA Ashwin Kotval in the coming elections.
Gohil and some other Congress leaders from Ahmedabad and Delhi were in Himmatnagar for an election related party meeting.
The 1,000-odd Congress workers,led by Naresh Patel,Rumalbhai Ghrangi,Lilaben Dabhi and Prakash Brahmbhatt,alleged that there was a nexus between Kotval and local BJP leaders,and he did not care for Congress workers throughout his five-year term.
All these five years,he (Kotval) has worked with and for BJP workers and leaders like state Home Minister Praful Patel. So,we have demanded that ticket can be given to any of three other contenders,but not to Kotval, Naresh Patel told The Indian Express.
Gohil has assured us that he will look into our demands, he added.
Kotval,on the other hand,alleged that the rally was a handiwork of AICC general secretary and former MP Madhusudan Mistry. The rally was taken out at the behest of Madhusudan Mistry to prevent me from getting a ticket. He (Mistry) does not want me to emerge as a Congress leader of tribals in the region, he said,adding,Ive been elected as MLA twice by defeating the BJP. How can I work with or for them?
When contacted,Mistry said,It is below my status and stature to comment on such allegations. It is the issue concerning Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee and it will take appropriate decision on the same. I have nothing to comment on it.

PRESIDENTIAL spokesman Scott McClellan said a dumb thing the other day. Talking about the Newsweek squib about the purported desecration of the Koran that caused murderous riots in Afghanistan and elsewhere, McClellan said the president and his administration "appreciate the step that they took by retracting the story. Now we would encourage them to move forward and do all that they can to help repair the damage that has been done by this report."
What on earth could Newsweek do to "repair the damage"? The appropriate response to Newsweek's behavior isn't to ask for its help. Hadn't Newsweek done enough already? Do you ask a drunk driver who's gotten into an accident to get behind the wheel again and give the passengers in the other car a lift home?
What McClellan needed to do was voice the bewilderment and disappointment among people of good will that the story was published in the first place. Instead, by trying to offer "constructive" criticism, he offered the mainstream media a means of escape from the dreadfully uncomfortable position Newsweek had put them in.
Newsweek injured itself by doing injury to others. In a normal competitive business environment, rival publications and their staffs would see the Newsweek debacle as an opportunity to seize market share and enhance their own news organization's position.
That's what you might have expected among Washington media pooh-bahs in the wake of Newsweek's blunder. Instead, what you saw was the opposite. You saw media organizations and their representatives swooping in to save Newsweek's bacon and try to redirect the story – to change it from the tale of a media-created catastrophe to a tale about Washington censorship and the misbehavior of the Bush administration.
You saw Terry Moran of ABC News berating McClellan, demanding to know "who made you the editor of Newsweek? Do you think it's appropriate for you, at that podium, speaking with the authority of the president of the United States, to tell an American magazine what they should print? . . . You're pressuring the . . . Are you asking them to write a story?"
You saw Elisabeth Bumiller of The New York Times get in on the action: "Are you asking them to write a story about how great the American military is? Is that what you're saying here?"
Moran expressed disbelief that the White House would blame Newsweek's story for the riots – even though we've all seen the pictures of the magazine being set on fire in the midst of them.
This is guild loyalty.
In guilds of old, the loyalty of workers wasn't to their employers or even to the task they were trying to complete – it was to their fellow skilled workers. Journalists of today are far more interested in currying favor with each other than in exploiting each other's weaknesses. And they view an attack on one as an attack on all.
You are supposed to believe that the giant organizations of the news business are incredibly competitive, constantly looking for the exclusive, the big scoop, the story that will make them No. 1 and will knock somebody else down a peg.
This attitude does describe the relationship between NBC's "Today" and ABC's "Good Morning America," and the rivalry between the Fox News Channel and CNN – not to mention the raging battle between this paper and the Daily News.
But in Washington, especially in the White House press corp, the most profound feeling is kinship. The rival isn't the organization that's got more readers or more influence. The rival is the Republican spokesman on the podium.
And the enemy isn't the magazine that made all journalists look bad and made the country look bad. The enemy is the president, because – even though it would clearly be the horror of horrors to Elisabeth Bumiller – he might look more favorably on the media if it were to "write a story about how great the American military is."

Carter's Lake
Carters Lake embraces a spectacular tract of foothills scenery in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia. Its sparkling waters and rugged shoreline provide a beautiful surrounding for a variety of recreational opportunities. Carters Lake has 3200 surface acres, more than 450 feet deep, and its shoreline has no private docks or developments along 62 miles of natural shoreline.
Today Carters Lake is considered by fisheries biologist to be perhaps the finest spotted bass fishery in Georgia. Anglers seeking spotted and largemouth bass should be on the lookout for structures such as stumps, submerged points and islands when the lake is below normal pool and concentrate on these areas during the summer and fall when the lake returns to normal level. These areas should be fished with various deep running artificial baits. Largemouth bass comprise a small portion of the total bass population but when you catch one, it is usually a large fish (some over 10 pounds).
Walleye fishermen should concentrate their efforts along rocky shoreline, points and saddle areas between islands. Silver spoons jigged along the bottom in 20 - 30 feet of water, diving crank baits cast along the shoreline, and nightcrawlers are the three methods that should produce the most fish. Anglers should consider trolling as a method for taking walleye from mid-spring to late-fall. Other walleye fishing methods include vertical jigging of spoons and jigs and deep diving crawfish pattern crankbaits trolled along gravel banks and drop-offs.
Channel catfish average 1-3 pounds and flathead catfish average 7 pounds. Anglers best catfish catches have traditionally been during spring in the upper end of Carters Lake. The reregulation pool located below Carters Lake, supports good quantities of fish. Bluegill, sunfish, white bass, drum, buffalo and catfish can be caught using traditional baits. Boaters can put in at the reregulation pool using an unimproved ramp near the Carters Powerhouse off Old Hwy 411. Boaters should use caution on the reregulation pool due to drastic fluctuations in water levels.
Fishing opportunities also exist in the tailwater downstream of the reregulation dam. Two handicap accessible fishing decks have been developed by the Corps of Engineers adjacent to the Coosawatter River downstream of the reregulation dam. The downstream fishing areas are located off Old Hwy 411 in Murray County Georgia. Fishing in this area involves swift moving water. Species commonly caught include striped bass, bluegill, catfish and crappie.

If I use the Desktop Shortcut, the software loads fine and has no issues. But I just tested letting the software load via the registry on a reboot and it crashes?? I'm reasonably sure it's my fault, because I'm a new user. I also noticed that the "run" command is in the LOCAL_MACHINE section of the registry.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
I would appreciate any help at all.
Oh, I'm using version 7.5
My software crashes ONLY when starting up a boot

Meet our 2020 All-City Sponsored Riders
We're super stoked to introduce you to our 2020 All-City Sponsored Riders! Whether they've been part of team All-City for several years or are new to our squad, all of our riders are passionate about cycling, and growing the cycling community. We can't wait to share their adventures with you this year!
Meet our crew:
Nikki Munvez @nikkimunvez_
"2020 marks my 13th year as a working bicycle courier. When I started I was equipped with a ton of enthusiasm and a bike that barely worked. One thing lead to another and now I've raced and toured on 4 continents with bike messengers from all over the world. Along the way I managed to tangle myself up in a variety of other cycling disciplines including track racing, cyclocross, gravel, crits, tracklocross and bike-packing. It turns out all the world's best people are into cycling too. I'm over the moon that my life is filled with so many stellar fun loving human beings."
Crys Amador @crys_amador
"I'm Laura Crystal, but no one ever calls me Laura. Born May 5, 1986 in Puerto Rico. From swimming and soccer to surfing, cycling and currently climbing, I've always kept active though I never considered myself an athletic person until I was 25. I majored in art and geography, and run a small production and photography company called VA Creative Studio with my partner. I enjoy being in salt water, on a mountain or anyplace outside, nature is my happy place. I believe we should live consciously and be aware of our impact on the world. Yep, reduce, reuse, recycle. I'm plant based - I like plants, seashells, tattoos among other things. I'll take heat over cold any day. Also, beach hair forever. Whenever I set a goal I remind myself "patience, perseverance & determination." Enjoy traveling but always like to go back home, forever an Island kid."

"I was raised in Virginia and slowly moved West as soon as I left college. After a few stints in rural parts of the country, mainly Wyoming, I learned how to rock climb and fell in love with spending long periods of time in the backcountry with myself and students. I moved to the Bay Area six years ago and started cycling as a way to commute. I soon learned that bicycles could take me so much further than work and started doing bicycling. I love the way cycling slows you down to a pace that you're forced to notice everything around you.
My career is mostly focused on organizing, convening and supporting communities of color in the environmental/climate justice space. I'm currently the co-director of PGM ONE, an affinity space for folks of color that centers, values, uplifts, and empowers those who are most impacted by environmental harm and climate change.
I'm an organizer, builder, adventurer and dreamer."

"I was born in 1986 to my parents who were motorcycle racers in Japan. I would go play everywhere on my kid's bike and became interested in competing on bicycles outside in nature. When I was an elementary school student, I started XC MTB, but I fell deeply into BMX and punk rock after meeting a guitarist who worked for a bicycle shop. I since have been living around BMX culture for more than 10 years. After organizing some BMX contests for a while, I started cyclocross with my dirt jump friends.
I chose singlespeed cyclocross because I was used to riding bikes without gears, and in one year I was promoted to the top category in Japan, becoming the first athlete in Japan to participate in the National Championship with SSCX."

In which I continue my studies at Reading University.
Wednesday 2 November
I had an early dinner and went by coach to Culham College. The ride was interesting. We went up the Thames Valley which is very picturesque. Owing to the heavy rains which we have had recently the Thames has flooded its banks and was at least twice its normal width. The game was a good one but we (3rd and 4th XV had to play their 1st XV and lost 29-0. We stopped for two hours at a pub on the way back.
Saturday 5 November
I saw three more Warship class diesels this morning but perhaps the most surprising wa the appearance of a County 4-6-0 No. 1024 on an up train terminating in platform 1.
It is Guy Fawkes night and we turned up in force for the procession by Halls to Whiteknights. When we arrived at Whiteknights the fighting broke out. The object was to get our banner on to the fire while at the same time we were to stop other Halls from getting theirs on. We got into a group. linked arms and charged the other Halls. the mud was very deep and my trousers are plastered up to the thighs. Afterwards i got a ride on the bonnet of a Land Rover to the gates of Whiteknights and we went back to Davids (Hall) via the Vice Chancellors house, Wantage, Wessex and Andrews (all Halls). I've cut my little finger during a scuffle with some girls from St. Georges (Hall).
Wednesday 9 November
I played for the 3rd XV against King Alfred's College 2nd XV and lost narrowly by 6-3. If only we could get together as a team we would do much better.
Friday 11 November
I went down to General station from 1.00 to 2.30, hadn't been there at this time before. Just before two o'clock there was quite a queue of goods trains waiting to go into the up yard at the west of the station.
Saturday 12 November
In Reading General I saw three Granges which I hadn't seen before, also a 2-8-0 (28xx class) and an old chocolate and cream bow-ended coach with windows in one end, possibly a converted slip coach?
I played for the 3rd XV against Abbey A XV at Palmer Park. It was a good game, the best I've played in up here, which we just lost 6-3
Sunday 13 November
I went for cycle ride round to Southcote Junction. I saw three trains in the space of 15 minutes (and just missed another). Two passenger trains, one from the Newbury direction hauled by a 2-6-2 tank and one from the Basingstoke direction hauled by a Hall 4-6-0. I also saw a down goods train hauled by a 2-8-0 which consisted of bolster wagons of rails and sleepers. Coupled into this was a diesel mechanical service locomotive No. PWM653. (this was presumably headed for the Theale Permanent Way Depot). There was a ballast wagon turned over on its side in a siding opposite the signal box.
Wednesday 16 November
Played for the 2nd XV this afternoon because several of the 1st XV players are injured. We played Royal Vetinerary College 2nd XV and won 16-3 (surprise, surprise) It was rather a scrappy game. We scored 13 points in the first tem minutes and from then onwards we tended to rest on our laurels.
Saturday 19 November
Nothing special at Reading General - it was foggy until about 13.00. A WD 2-8-0 was on an up freight and two 28xx class 2-8-0s on down freights. It is quite interesting watching a WD get a long train of wagons in motion. This particular one, No. 90174, was very clean. It started off very slowly although the coupling rods soon seemed to be revolving at a great rate because of the small driving wheel diameter. Soon, the characteristic "clank" was accompanied by a rush of steam with each piston stroke. The crew received a signal from the guard when all the slack had been taken up, then a hoot on the whistle and they were away full tilt.
Played for the 2nd XV this afternoon. We were overwhelmed 27-6.
Sunday 20 November
I dodged out to see a 2-8-0 on a relaying train (at Southcote Junction?) - of course, it didn't come through. All I saw, in just under half an hour was one King Arthur 4-6-0 No. 30772 which I must have seen at east thirty times at St. Mary Cray and Orpington.
Wednesday 23 November
I was to have played for the 3rd XV today but was transferred to the 2nd XV at the last moment. We played University College London and lost 6-0. It was quite a punch up. I have a lot of bruises on my shins and a bruised foot. The coordination with the hooker went better this time.
Friday 25 November
I had an early breakfast and went up for an early lecture. Afterwards, I came back, collected my kit and started to hitch along Berkeley Avenue. My first lift took me to the other side of town and after 5 minutes I got a lift which took me to Harrow and Wealdstone. I caught a train to Charing Cross and arrived home at 2.15. Mum and Dad were pleased to see me although the cat didn't take much notice.
Saturday 26 November
At Orpington. I spent much of the morning cleaning up my number plate from withdrawn E1 tank engine 32689. It is very sooty and greasy but it will be better once I have cleaned it up.
Monday 28 November
Time to go back to Reading. I caught the 10.18 train from Orpington and after breaking my journey, the 11.54 from Waterloo to Reading South. I saw aa couple of engines of interest including a "700" 0-6-0 and a Battle of Britain 4-6-2 I hadn't seen before.
Wednesday 30 November
Played rugger for the 3rd XV against the Trade Training Battalion R.A.O.C. They were much heavier than us and it wasn't surprising that we lost. Even so it was a good game and we did quite well in teh scrums.

I was sitting in a meeting today with my iBook, and a late arrival walked up and asked if we could chat for a bit afterwards. Normally when he needs to talk to me, it's either to pick my brain on some operational aspect of the service, or see if I'm willing to commit my team to supporting the latest project that's steam-rollering down on him.
In this case, he wanted to talk about Stickies. Seems he's been writing a replacement for the current OS X version, and decided that I might have useful input to offer. Something to do with the cascade of 30+ notes covering almost every square inch of my screen, taking full advantage of multiple fonts, text color, note colors, minimization, etc. Also physical post-its attached to flat surfaces on the laptop.
We compared notes on apps like TinderBox (which we both hated) and the Windows-based 3M Post-It software (which I'm quite fond of), and also discussed my habit of mixing electronic and physical post-its and todo lists.
I own a Franklin Planner (and still wish that someone would implement a todo-software priority system that's as useful as their paper method, or at least compatible with it). I own a Newton 130 and a 2100. I am still in possession of an early HP clamshell-style Wince device. There's a Rex around here somewhere. I've got a Palm V that wakes me up every morning. I have Outlook and Entourage and iCal, and have tried damn near everything else on the market at least once. My real PDA?
I go through these things like candy. I buy them in bulk at the local Costco, and at least five of them are in use at any given time, plus the torn-off archives that are stacked all over the house. They're shopping lists, day-planners, design notes, cheat-sheets, to-do lists, FAQs, pseudocode, recipes, wishful thinking, and just plain doodling. The primary downside to this scheme is that it can be destroyed by windows. Not the Big Bad Bill Gates sort of windows, the 17mph winds when you open one sort.
The Mac OS X Stickies app, despite its limitations, is gradually taking on some of these tasks, at least the ones that happen in the vicinity of a computer. The small number of background colors (that I can almost tell apart reliably) supply some categorization. Stacking order supplies some hint of priority, but font and font color supply a lot more (sadly, these options are not visible in a minimized note). Finally, dragging minimized Stickies around on the screen lets me adjust the order I'll tackle them in. And it makes a dandy fidget toy.
Unfortunately, there's only one workspace, and either all your notes are visible or none of them are. This is bad when you're sitting in a meeting and the person next to you gets an unexpected insight into the sort of new DVD releases you're looking forward to. Being able to place notes into containers that can be separately printed, exported, minimized, sorted, etc would be a major win (and in fact it is, in the 3M software). Conceptually, I think it would be cool if a Stickie were itself a container for other Stickies, but I can see some problems with the UI to decide when you're trying to stack two notes and when you're trying to drag one note into another.
But it would make perfect sense to a user, since I know I'm not the only person who assembles collages of post-its on a legal pad.
On the other flipper, Stickies does a number of things I have no use for, or actively resent. Floating and/or translucent windows. A data file that's binary garbage. Notes that scroll without scrollbars. Embedded images and movie clips. Notes that Just Disappear when you click the close button. A useless Find option. Drop shadows that obscure the differences between the note colors.
But Emacs-style keybindings work for editing the text in a note, so I'm willing to cut them some slack for a while.
Update: Stickies has improved a little since I first wrote this, but it's still one of the least-actively-developed utilities in OS X. Pity, really, since it could be so much more than it is, without much additional effort. Container support, an XML datafile, decent multi-note printing, and the ability to search for text in multiple notes would knock the pins out from under the third-party developers that Just Don't Get It.
Update: I recently upgraded my PDA. The nice folks at Levenger make high-quality ruled pads in multiple sizes, colors, and layouts. They're a genuine pleasure to use. They cost about an order or magnitude more than the stuff I mentioned above, but for any notes that last longer than the next trip to the grocery, they're worth it.

More pictures from the same series, but c'mon, how could I not?
Other than that, we've been pretty busy spending our tax return this week. Dad talked Mom into letting him buy a new computer in preparation for graduate school (nice excuse, right?), so he spent about a week researching out what he wanted and finding good deals. He decided once and for all and ordered a laptop on Friday night. He's almost as excited for it to arrive as he was for Avey to arrive.
Dad also heard about a sweet deal for any student who has an email account ending in ".edu". If that sounds like you, click here for more details.
We had a bit of a scare yesterday when Mom left Dad and Avey to help out her sister for a while half an hour away. Like a good girl, Avey went down for a nap like normal while Dad worked on some projects. She woke up an hour later and was due to eat, so Dad warmed up some milk and tried to feed her. The key word here is "tried". She absolutely refused. She's taken a bottle before, but this time would hear nothing of it. She whined for an hour and a half and probably got down about a milliliter. She is such a princess sometimes – everything has to be just so. It's a good thing she's as ridiculously cute as she is.

A 3-Step Guide To Buying The Perfect Sports Bra
Just like the perfect pair of pumps can make a date night feel more fabulous and the perfect boots are essential to staying warm in the winter, the perfect sports bra is key to a comfortable workout.
A sports bra that fits well not only protects your breasts from damage during exercise by limiting a lot of movement, but it also can ward off any discomfort relating to sweating and chafing. Of course, we'd all love to find that sports bra that fits us flawlessly and lends adequate support and separation. But it's not such an easy task.
Fortunately, we've compiled this simple three-step guide to help you find your ideal sports bra.
Step 1: Assess your size
It's absolutely imperative that you wear the correct size sports bra to ensure that it not only stays in place but also provides enough support for your breasts. You subject your bust to a lot more movement during exercise, whether you're spinning or dancing. As such, support is even more critical — the more strain your breasts experience from movement, the more likely the Cooper's ligaments (which keep them looking firm and perky) are to stretch out more quickly.
So before you go on a search for your perfect sports bra, make sure to get fitted (unless you've already done so in the last six months). The band is responsible for offering the majority of the support, and keep in mind that it should fit very snugly on a sports bra. While it should not dig into you or compromise your ability to breathe deeply in any way, it should still be as tight as possible. When you buy a new sports bra, be sure that it feels snug on the loosest hook. That way, as it gradually stretches out due to wearing and washing it, you can simply fasten it on a tighter setting, and you'll get more use out of the bra.

Step 2: Assess your workout
You'll definitely need to consider the type of workout you'll be using your bra for.
Sports bras are generally broken down into three categories that line up with corresponding types of exercise: Low-impact, medium-impact, and high-impact. Low impact sports bras are designed for activities during which your feet are not making a lot of forceful contact with the ground such as yoga and Pilates. These are workouts that don't subject your boobs to a whole lot of bouncing. As such, low-impact sports bras tend to be more lightweight, often without underwire and separated cups. High-impact sports bras, on the other hand, are constructed to work for activities like running and aerobics. In order to protect your breasts during these intense cardio workouts, high-impact sports bras usually combine encapsulation and compression technologies to both separate your boobs into individual cups while also holding them closer to the torso. These bras tend to have wider straps and underbands, mesh inserts or other features for maximum breathability, and an overall sturdy construction. Medium-impact sports bras fall somewhere in between and are great options for strength training, cycling, hiking, etc. They may or may not have wire and will be slightly less structured as a high-impact sports bra, but odds are they will have separated cups.
Step 3: Assess your priorities
Take some time to think about what's most important to you in a sports bra. Do you expect to be sweating a lot? Then you'll likely want to seek out a sports bra made of moisture-wicking materials. Are you concerned with how the sports bra will make your bust look? Then opt for sports bras that have some lift and shaping capabilities — underwire and molded cups will definitely come in handy here. Identify your priorities and keep them all in mind while shopping for sports bras.
Remember, however, that certain features are worth looking for no matter how large your bust is or what type of exercise you're doing. For example, you'll definitely want to opt for a sports bra that has adjustable straps and an adjustable band to ensure you can achieve the best fit and most support possible.
You're now three steps closer to finding your dream sports bra. And don't forget that comfort is inarguably the most important factor when it comes to buying this workout essential — after all, your undergarments should be making a sweat session easier, not harder.

As previously reported, Michael Pepe and two other high-level Time Warner executives who were involved in the company's Internet strategy have left their positions within the past few months.
The departures have raised questions about the division's role now that Time Warner plans to merge with America Online.
The division is largely responsible for overseeing issues related to the companies' combination. But its former objectives to create a fully staffed division to manage Time Warner's Web sites and its stake in cable Internet service provider Road Runner have been eliminated since the merger announcement.
Pepe has been with Time Inc. since 1986 and has held numerous business strategy posts in the various magazine divisions. He assumed the helm of Time's Internet efforts in January 1999, but the division's focus changed, as seen in the shuttering of its Pathfinder business.
He eventually shifted to the newly created Time Warner Digital Media division when the parent company decided to consolidate control of its myriad Internet efforts.
In his new position, Pepe will oversee Time's magazine publishing efforts around the world. His appointment fills a management void since former international head John Marcom quit in January to join online movie distributor AtomFilms.
Pepe will report to Don Logan, chief executive of Time Inc.
