The long-promised Culver City branch of the bike-friendly, meat-themed New York restaurant The Cannibal — named after cycling legend Eddy Merckx — has finally opened; where else can you grab some cochinita pibil pig head and chain lube after your ride? And according to LA Magazine, you'll get a free beer if you ride your bike there.
Speaking of Merckx, things aren't looking good for the restaurant's namesake, as he could be facing kickback charges to supply bicycles to Belgian police.
As long as we're on the topic of restaurants, Adam Ginsberg reminds us about the No Kid Hungry program to end childhood hunger in America and ensure every kid has enough to eat. Over 200 chefs and restaurant professionals will ride from Carmel to Santa Barbara at the end of this month to raise funds for the charity and call attention to the problem of childhood hunger; so far they've raised just over 40% of the $1 million goal.
Meanwhile, members of my college fraternity will be departing from Long Beach on the 17th on one of three cross-country bike rides to raise funds for people with disabilities; the annual ride typically brings in over half a million dollars for charity.

A North Dakota woman says it should be a felony to kill someone with your car, after her husband was killed while riding his bike.
A Michigan motorist says bikes don't belong on roads because we have other places to ride. And apparently, because cars don't have brakes.
A Buffalo NY letter writer says if the city is stuck with bike lanes, then riders should be licensed, forced to wear reflective gear, and police must crack down on all those law-flouting cyclists. Because evidently, every driver in the city now obeys the letter of the law.

Melbourne, Australia is the latest city to propose building a network of elevated bikeways to get cyclists off the streets. Which is what happens when bike riders are seen as a problem to be solved, rather than people to accommodate.
No, seriously. If you fall off your bike when a cop tries to stop you, don't get up and pull a gun after the paramedics treat you. Nothing mends a celebrity marriage like a bike ride on a tropical island.
And evidently, nothing stops a bike thief like a smoke bomb.

According to the LA Times, bike racing co-owner Christian Pappanicholas promises a meat-forward beer and butcher-focused menu, as well as rice-based energy bars and musette bags for riders on the go.
There's even a bike valet. And if you show up in your full riding kit, your second beer is free.
So expect to see a few wobbly spandex-clad riders making their way past Sony Studios.
Although we may have to talk to him about showing people who ride in street clothes a little love, too.
And the name is not a not to Hannibal Lector or the Donner Party, but rather, a reference to the great Eddy Merckx .
The debate goes on over bikes vs stop signs in Bagdad by the Bay.
A columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle says no one understands the city's proposed Idaho stop ordinance. Including him, apparently, since it would require riders to observe the right-of-way and only go through a stop when it's safe to do so.
According to Streetsblog SF, San Francisco police have a bias against bike riders, including a demonstrated lack of knowledge regarding bike laws. Few cops ever get more than a cursory introduction to the laws governing bicyclists.
And Bicycling takes up the question of whether or not to stop, ending with the most important rule — don't be a dick.
Which seems to be what Chronicle columnist C.W. Nevius was trying to say, as well.
Filmmakers are invited to participate in the Urbanism Filmmaking Challenge, where you'll be paired with a noted urban designer, planner or architect to make a two-to-five minute film, with the possibility of a $300 prize.
Registration has been extended to tomorrow for Calbike's fundraising ride along the coast from Santa Barbara to San Diego, according to an email from the California Bicycle Coalition's Debbie Brubaker.
I just wanted to let you know that we decided to extend the registration deadline for the California Dream Ride to this Friday. The ride is going to be a lot of fun — I hope you can join us! We'll be riding for 5 days along gorgeous bikeways from Santa Barbara to San Diego, and we'll have several fun parties along the way: a Halloween party, a happy hour in Santa Monica, a special lunch with the L.A. County Bicycle Coalition, and a cool auction and party at MADE in Long Beach (a maker space).
The ride runs five days, from October 30th to November 4th, and promises "comfortable hotels, great food, fun people, and a behind-the-scenes look into the world of bicycle advocacy."
You might want to pack your Halloween costume. Unless, like many of us, you look scary enough in spandex.
Peloton Magazine says Peter Sagan is a new-style champion with old-style panache.
The route for next year's Giro d'Italia was leaked online in advance Monday's official announcement.
Maybe it's good news, as the owners of Colorado's USA Pro Challenge pull out after years of financial losses, enabling the state to seek more varied and stable investors. Although if new ownership doesn't emerge, it could mean the end of the popular race. Maybe the Amgen Tour of California can step in and create a two week Colorado to California grand tour. We can dream, right?

Lakeport police arrested the 28-year old driver who fled the scene after seriously injuring two bike riders, as well as booking his mother as an accessory. The family that flees together stays together, albeit behind bars.
A new report raises red flags over drug-impaired driving as a result of the legalization, or near legalization, of marijuana in 23 states, including California. Although in most cases, it doesn't seem to be a problem unless it's combined with other drugs or alcohol.
A new Indiegogo project promises to take the popular MonkeyLectric wheel lights a step further with 376 full color LED lights forming patterns while you ride; lights for one wheel will set you back $99.

Interesting debate at the Guardian, as one writer says plans for bikeways must reach beyond "two-wheel boy racers in Wiggo kits," while another says we should leave class out of discussions of bicycling. One of the great things about bicycling is it's very democratic; anyone can ride a bike, and we should consider all riders when making plans and improvements.
Two of the first black African riders to compete in the Tour de France discuss efforts to transform Africa by using bikes to provide better access to education.
It may be a tad late, but it's still pretty impressive when Al Roker — or at least his bike — gives Steve Isaacs' Sweet Ride a shout out. Don't threaten a pair of women walking on a trail, let alone return to hit one with your bike.
And oh, the places you'll go! as a man discovers his foldie can take him more places than he thought.
With apologies to Dr. Seuss, of course.

Of course a two-loss Georgia team and two-loss LSU team would give the committee fits as well. Syracuse fell eight spots to No. 20 after losing to Notre Dame. LSU remained seventh, Washington State held at 8 and Ohio State stayed at 10th. The victor of both games will play for the national title on January 7 inside of Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
The German publication made a series of claims, as part of the Football Leaks investigation, which suggested Spain worldwide Ramos had broken anti-doping protocol on two occasions.

While Brand was not informed of any trade request, his comments about Fultz abruptly going away to see a specialist seem to indicate they were not on the same page regarding the matter. Meanwhile, Sixers head coach Brett Brown refused to comment on the trade rumors about Fultz. And I'd have to think that we're not even close to the end of it.
Should United concede against Crystal Palace on Saturday, it would equal a Premier League club record of allowing a goal for a ninth straight game.

He is for many people the best defensive midfielder in world football due to his brilliant work-rate, interceptions and tackles.
However, neither man was able to shine over the opening nine holes, which ended with Mickelson 1 up, prompting some good-natured criticism from fellow professionals on social media. Woods drew level for the second time with a birdie on the short par-four 11th and edged in front with another birdie on the next after a superb approach to two feet.

Real Madrid presidential candidate Arturo Baldasano has claimed that he will appoint Sven-Goran Eriksson as manager if he wins the forthcoming election to run the club.
Eriksson will step down as England coach after the World Cup and he has been linked with a number of high profile positions.
"My team have spoken with Eriksson and he has given a commitment that if I win the election he will come and coach the team," Baldasano told Radio Marca.
Lawyer and economist Baldasano lost heavily to former president Florentino Perez in the 2004 election.
Former president Lorenzo Sanz says he will bring back Vicente del Bosque as Real Madrid coach if he wins the election.
"You just need to look at the success we had when he was here so it is absurd not to opt for him," he said.
Del Bosque was coach for three and a half years before being sacked by president Florentino Perez in 2003, having steered Real to two European Cups and two league titles.
The current election, to be held on June 2, was called after Fernando Martin was ousted in April.


Brad Paisley's new single 'Southern Comfort Zone' is another socially important song, joining previous hits like 'Welcome to the Future' and 'This Is Country Music.' The singer's voice carries more weight in 2012 than it did in 2008 or 2004, and one senses that he's aware of his influence. This song recorded by someone like Hank Williams Jr. or Toby Keith would be labeled as pretentious or preachy, but Paisley's understated delivery (combined with a lovable personality) allows him to pack the punch he's been working toward.
One needn't look further than the church choir that opens and closes 'Southern Comfort Zone' to recognize the importance which Paisley places in this lyric. It's a story of appreciating home after being away to other parts of the world.
"Dixieland, I hope you understand / When I miss my Tennessee home / And I've been away way too long / I can't see this world unless I go / Outside my southern comfort zone," he sings during the chorus.
Early on, it sounds like Paisley may have written another defense of the country music genre -- and by extension, the southern lifestyle -- but his purpose becomes more clear toward the climax of the 4-and-a-half-minute-long cut that stretches to an eye-popping 5:20 for the upcoming album.
"I have walked the streets of Rome / I have been to foreign lands / I know what it's like to talk and have nobody understand / I have seen the Eiffel Tower lit up on a Paris night / I have kissed a west coast girl underneath the northern lights," Paisley sings.
As a songwriter, Paisley and frequent collaborators Kelley Lovelace and Chris DuBois are as sharp as ever. The trio work in references to southern staples while painting a picture bright enough for country fans of all origins to appreciate. "You have fed me, you have saved me, Billy Graham and Martha White," Paisley sings, referring to the preacher and baking mix company that's sponsored the Grand Ole Opry for decades.
The success of Buddy Jewell's 'Sweet Southern Comfort' in 2003 should leave no doubt to this single's potential for mass appeal. It's the production that will determine one's opinion of the song. Early drops of Jeff Foxworthy, 'The Andy Griffith Show' and NASCAR are cute, but the overall weight of the song is imposing.
At times in recent years it's felt like Paisley is trying to cut a song as important to the south as John Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads.' He's as honest and sincere of a country singer as we have, but much like a high school boy looking to score a date with the homecoming queen, he cold benefit from holding back just a little.
Paisley's album is expected in April of 2013. 'Southern Comfort Zone' will hit digital retailers on October 2.

El Premi a la millor obra d'autor o autora espanyol/a publicada a Espanya és un guardó amb dotació econòmica concedit anualment des de 1988 durant la celebració del Saló Internacional del Còmic de Barcelona.

En els seus inicis, Ficomic tenia la darrera paraula sobre el guanyador. No obstant, el sistema d'elecció de l'obra guanyadora ha anat variant al llarg dels anys, canviant el sistema de vot i el nombre d'obres nominades.

Un dels canvis més transcendents va tenir lloc l'any 2000, quan tots els professionals estatals del còmic van passar a votar directament al guanyador. Abans, els professionals del sector només participaven en la primera fase de la doble elecció, elegint els candidats. Seguidament, era el comitè executiu de Ficomic qui elegia l'obra guanyadora d'entre les obres més votades a la primera fase. Amb el canvi el 2000, tots els professionals van passar a participar també a la segona fase, elegint l'obra guanyadora.

L'autor que més cops ha rebut aquest premi, amb un dequatre ocasions, és Miguelanxo Prado (1989, 1994, 2005 i 2013). El segueixen Max (1988, 1996 i 2007), Felipe Hernández Cava (1997, 1999 i 2009) i Paco Roca (2008, 2011 i 2014), respectivament. Tots ells empatats amb tres premis.

El premi al millor còmic, precursor del premi a la millor obra

L'actual premi a la millor obra d'autor espanyol es va començar a concedir a partir de 1988, amb Joan Navarro com a nou director del Saló. No obstant, anteriorment el Saló ja havia concedit un premi a la millor obra, anomenat "premi al millor còmic". Aquest premi s'havia instaurat el 1984, any en què la 4a edició del Saló va introduir els Premis Ciutat de Barcelona. Aquests premis foren entregats al llarg de tres edicions, desapareixent el 1986, any en el qual el Saló no es va arribar a celebrar però els premis sí continuaren sent concedits per l'organització. Els Premis Ciutat de Barcelona comprenien diverses categories i una d'elles n'era el premi al millor còmic nacional. Aquest premi és precursor a l'actual "premi a la millor obra" però d'equivalent valor, ja que només la denominació va canviar.

It's that point of the yr again with snowflakes falling, yuletide cheer and Christmas purchasing, scorching cups of coco and cozy heat fire with sizzling embers of coal crackling away. But what's heating up the fashion scene this winter, a closer look reveals some attention-grabbing insights on the newest winter fashions.
True to the season, tender snowy white shades appear to be a good choice for clothes that mix in with the winter theme. Another fashionable color to helps produce a sharp contrast is Black and various shades of shiny black; whereas dull and muted greys give a pleasant heat and fuzzy contact and hues of wealthy red right through to mellow maroon are reflective of the season.
For girls, earthy colors starting from the deep shades of olive, maroon, brown, deep blue's to chocolate brown are colours set to kind the development. Whereas for males, muted shades of pink, lavender, brick pink, grey, deep shades of purple and black are what's going to be setting the stage for style.
Choosing the proper hair type to go together with the style and season is usually a daunting job. You don't want to be seen in last yr's types and definitely not something that's not the most popular rage for the time being. So should you're making an attempt to determine the hairdo that's the pick of the season by stylists and trend models; it's time to let you in on that little secret, apparently for girls sporting your hair in the all so basic 'Bob Cut' seems to be the favoured trend this season.

The types in vogue are hats which can be either big and puffy or tiny and pointed. Fur lined hoods blended into the garment are also turning heads this winter.
This season coats come with a pleasant thick mantle like look that characteristic tousled sleeves and funnelled collars. Different patterns included coats with widely placed collars and a wealthy furry texture.
The prevailing tendencies for fabrics this season are materials that are over-worked with several totally different effects across their surfaces. The materials are very solid or concrete with a sort of untamed natural really feel blended with comfortable lustres. Prints across the winter theme are nearly delicate whereas the main target in on rich exterior of the fabric. Light-weight wool or reworked cottons are the base for designs that may debut this winter.
Complementing the texture and textures of fabrics the designs round these effects which can be set to make the stage this winter, vary from, long pleats, to refined wrinkles and clearly seen overstitches, to the blistered and tangled effects.
Cashmere labored in with common wool and mohair is mixed to present the materials a lightweight yet visibly textured look. While a number of the other fabrics are roughly minimize to offer a thatched heavily threaded effect. Most knits are made with closely emphasised gages to draw out the raw protecting really feel in opposition to the winter chill.
Denim is a kind of fabrics that may probably be round without end, this winter, the theme is a slight gleam within the denim with an oxidised look. In fact this seasons going to have you ever seeing loads of extremely cool effects.
This season, commerce in your previous winter muffler for these massive woollen scarves that can be draped over your shoulders like a stole. Embodied with varied prints on dulled wool the headscarf lends a casual yet protecting bathroom to the wearer be it a man or a girl.
Ankle size sneakers in shades of silver and gray are this winters winner. They shriek elegance and luxury in a really informal kind of manner. For girls transparent slippers laced with silver give an nearly Cinderella impact.
Jewelry designs highlighting the winter season are marvellous add ons' silver snowflake pendants and enormous broaches like a sprig of holly or mistletoe make some really eye catching equipment. Chunky silver bracelets and large but light earrings that dangle add to the impact.
So, be sure to be careful for these beautiful trends which can be bound to take the nation by storm. And honestly, you actually do not need to own costly designer wear to make a statement. Even your local shops will top off on a few of these new designs. This winter season make sure you deal with yourself to a few of these fashionable fashions and go paint the city pink!

Home	Indonesia	Sunrise from the top of magical Borobudur temple, Central Java
Sunrise from the top of magical Borobudur temple, Central Java
by Nick Clark January 3, 2012
by Nick Clark
After a night at Losari Coffee Plantation – a wellness retreat surrounded by 8 of central Java's dramatic volcanoes – our exploration of Java continued with three nights in the historic province of Yogyakarta to the south. After an early morning rise for an hour long yoga session (who knew that stretching could be so tiring?) and a tour of the working coffee estate, we first made our way north to the small Hindu temple complex of Gadung Songo, some 1,300 meters above sea level. We explored the site and yet more stunning vistas on horseback, before getting drenched in a downpour. After the two hour drive south it was starting to get dark by the time we reached, tired and slightly disheveled, the luxury surroundings of Amanjiwo.
I always feel a little embarrassed turning up at such places after a day's 'hard work' – I'm not renowned for my 'luxury' appearance at the best of times – and having both changed into our tracksuits to get warm in the car this was no exception! However, it was not long before I relaxed and was marvelling at the tranquil setting and style of the hotel. The circular lobby is designed in such a way that as you approach you are presented with a view that leads through the hotel and down to the magnificent Borobudur temple some 2.5 km away. It was not until the light of the following day that I could truly appreciate this, the four volcanoes climbing into the horizon from the flat plains below and the lush green hill that towers above the hotel from behind. That evening, with the prospect of a 4.30am wake up call so that we could climb the temple for the sunrise, I was more concerned with enjoying the luxury that the suites provided and the grilled salmon in the restaurant!
The following morning, after a less than replenishing sleep, we woke to what appeared to be a clear sky and set off for the 9th century Buddhist temple, hopeful of a good sunrise. As we approached the national park and daylight began to break, Toni (our guide) was obviously a little worried by the enveloping mist and clouds and after the short climb we found the top of the temple and its 72 stupas shrouded in mist. However, as the sun began to rise above the haze it became clear that the clouds had lifted and the range of light that this created was magnificent. The 'traditional' red sky was absent but the volcanoes that rose above the mist were illuminated, the trees below were half lost in the mist, and the sun shone on, through and around the magnificent structure of the temple and its stupas. Without sounding too cheesy, it was an experience that truly illustrates the wonder that nature and human endeavour working in perfect harmony can combine to create.
The temple structure was built sometime between AD750-850 using two million individual bits of stone wrapped around a small hill and there are six square terraces that lead up to three circular terraces on top. The square terraces are covered by delicately sculptured reliefs representing the life of Buddha and the Buddhist belief in kharma and reincarnation. The top three terraces are covered by 72 individual stupas, all with holes built into their stone casings that present a partial view of the single statue of Buddha within. It is unquestionably a rival to Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Bagan in Bhurma for the title of the finest ancient structure in South East Asia. Shortly after construction, the spread of Islam in Java pushed the Buddhists east. When the nearby Mount Merapi erupted with the full force of its might in 1006 the temple was buried and remained untouched until the early 19th century. A long and costly restoration followed and what a joy that it did!

Masters Degrees (Geology)
Assessment of the permeability of Vryheid formation sediments.
Venter, Bernardus Jacobus.
Permeability is that physical property of a porous medium that controls the flow of fluids through that medium. The flow of methane and water may be induced by the excavation of a mine opening in methane-bearing strata. Methane flow into a mine opening constitutes one of the biggest hazards in the coal mining industry. It is poisonous to humans and can ignite at concentrations as low as 5 % per volume and create explosions in the presence of coal dust from mining. If the flow of methane and/or water into the mine opening becomes blocked by an impervious layer, excessive pressures may develop, particularly in the roof strata of the mined seam, which can lead to roof falls. In order to characterize the flow of methane and water into and around the openings in a mine, that was plagued by roof falls suspected of being the result of excessive fluid pressure build-up, a large scale laboratory investigation of the permeability of the roof sediments of the working coal seam in the area was undertaken. The permeability was measured under atmospheric conditions by means of a modified Ohle permeameter, and under triaxial conditions with the aid of a modified Hoek cell. The permeability of the sediments towards methane and water was measured. Nitrogen was used as a control because it is much less reactive than methane towards the sediments used in this project. It was found that the permeability decreases with increasing gas pressure, in the case of gas being the permeating fluid, and increased with increasing water pressure, in the case of water being the permeating fluid. In some instances anomalous plots of permeability versus reciprocal mean gas pressure were obtained. These were attributed to the effects of methane adsorption or the Klinkenberg effect, and a possible method to determine which of the two processes is dominant is discussed. To characterize the flow in the roof strata of the coal seam being mined, the permeability was correlated to fades type. The different fades types were numbered from 1 to 14 with increasing grain size for ease of correlation. Due to the variable nature of the sediments, even in a fades type, no single permeability could be obtained for a fades type. Instead permeability ranges were obtained for each fades type. The definition of the lower and upper limits for each range were found to be dependant on the number of tests done on samples for that fades type. Nonetheless a relationship of increasing permeability with increasing grain size was found in the coarser grained fades (facies type 8 and higher). For the fIner grained fades types the permeability was found to decrease with increase in grain size. A graph could be constructed for use in predicting possible hazardous zones by identifying the fades type and then reading the permeability range that can be expected off the graph. Due to the variable nature of the sediments, the graph is, at this time, only applicable to the areas where the samples were obtained. A permeability prediction graph for all localities would be an ideal but is beyond the scope of this project. Such a graph, and the methods discussed have a wide range of applications in the coal mining and methane gas exploitation industries.

Our Favourite Merchandise: Character Options' Classic Who Action Figures
Doctor Who fans of a certain age can be a curmudgeonly bunch, forever telling the younger generation how much better they have it nowadays. "Not like it was in our day", they say in their best impression of Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen sketch, "We had no repeats! No internet! None of your DVDs! If we wanted to enjoy Doctor Who we had to watch on Saturdays before we had a cold bath in't front room! But we was happy!"
It's pointless telling people how hard the old days used to be, of course, but I've always felt one area where people like myself who were children of the 1970s did miss out was that of Doctor Who action figures.
To my enduring regret, it seems nobody in the toy industry towards the end of that decade saw the potential of cashing in on the Star Wars boom and having a go at a Doctor Who range. They surely would have had a big success on their hands in the mid-Tom Baker era when the show attracted upwards of 12 million viewers as part of (cliché alert) BBC1's legendary Saturday night schedule.
There were the Denys Fisher dolls but they had their roots in the larger dolls of the Action Man range (though you would never have heard the 1970s me using the word 'dolls' to describe them…). A hit and miss series (great Giant Robot, very iffy Cyberman), they were costlier purchases than smaller action figures and were never likely to extend to the kind of range I would have wanted to see with lots of monsters and companions becoming available.
Eventually Dapol came along and produced an extensive range of figures from the late 1980's onwards. But by then Doctor Who was nowhere near as successful as it had been in the previous decade and children's attention had moved on to electronic games and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so a hit of Death Star proportions was never on the cards.
Dapol had a good run of over 15 years, even operating a Doctor Who exhibition for a while and their range had some highlights (the Tetrap's leather wings are a nice touch) but isn't very fondly-remembered today. Perhaps this is due to the iffy sculpting on some figures or the inaccuracies which fans have poked fun at over the years (a green K9, a five-sided TARDIS console, a two-handed Davros who looked like he was busting some moves on the dance floor), though I tend to think those things all add to the enjoyment.
Dapol's licence expired in 2002, not long before the BBC decided to revive the show, and it was another company that got to produce the tie-in action figures. Character Options made a massive success of their licence, with their larger talking Daleks becoming the must-have toys of Christmas 2005 – confirmation of the enduring appeal of Terry Nation's creations, over four decades after they first appeared.
But what truly made my heart sing was Character's wonderful range of classic-era figures – old Doctors, monsters from the Hinchcliffe era, Magnus Greel and Mister Sin available to buy at last! This was what my eight-year old self had been crying out for. I bought quite a few of them, naturally enough, and though the excitement may not have been quite on the same level as when I was of primary school age, it was wonderful to see the accuracy of the sculpts, and they do look rather fine on a bookshelf.
It now feels as though the glory days of this range have passed – a combination, perhaps, of the most significant characters and monsters having being covered and – a huge bone of contention for collectors, this – the unpopular decision to start making the main releases in a smaller size. Character seem to have realised that they have a substantial base of older collectors, however, and have continued to make selected larger size editions, often available as exclusive sets at Forbidden Planet and B&M.
They continue to be the item of merchandise I make a special effort to look out for, even if I'm not tempted to buy in every instance. I have to admit that a new variation on the Fourth Doctor is usually enough to lure me into opening my wallet. It's almost as though someone sees me coming…

Providing skills for rural women, Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, aparajitas is Bengali for "woman who never gives up". It is also the fitting name for the women who participate in Bata's rural sales program in partnership with the organization CARE. The program offers women in poor rural communities the chance to become entrepreneurs and earn a living from selling flip flops manufactured in Bata-owned factories in Bangladesh.
In rural Bangladesh, women lack access to economic opportunity and sustainable incomes. Bata provides sales training by district managers in collaboration with CARE representatives. The women collect their inventory from over 244 hubs in Bangladesh at wholesale prices. They then sell the products in their communities, receiving a 10-15% commission.
To date, there are more than 3,000+ Aparjitas who have brought accessibly priced flip flops to consumers in hard-to-reach communities through direct sales. Their average income of 80-100 USD represents more than the country's minimum wage.

IF Sunderland didn't have Jermain Defoe they would have been relegated already.
Those were the words of his manager Sam Allardyce tonight and he was spot on. Or at least. Defoe was.
The little striker's 93rd minute penalty equaliser yesterday was his 17th goal of the season and it could turn out to be one if his most priceless.
As Allardyce said afterwards: "That was Jermain's 14th League goal in a struggling team and without him we would probably already have been relegated.
Mark Hughes was in no mood to praise him though.
The Stoke boss said: "I'm not happy to say the least. I thought it was a soft penalty at that stage of the game and we feel the referee played a part in Sunderland getting a point they didn't deserve.
"The only way Sunderland were going to get anything today was if decisions went against us - and they did!"
But Allardyce and Defoe certainly weren't complaining, even though they have dropped back into the relegation zone.
"That was a point gained instead of three lost," a beaming big Sam added.
Stoke: Haugaard; Bardsley, Cameron, Shawcross, Pieters; Imbula, Whelan; Shaqiri (Diouf 77) Adam (Muniesa 85), Arnautoic (Walters 56); Crouch.
Sunderland: Mannone; Yedlin, Kone, Kaboul, Van Aanholt; Kirchhoff (Larsson 77); Borini (Watmore 60) Cattermole, M'Villa, Khazri (N'Doye 60); Defoe.
Man Of Match: Peter Crouch - literally head and shoulders above Sunderland until Defoe popped up.


I enjoy the Buffalo puzzles, especially the 300 piece ones. The size of the pieces is nice, makes for a good size finished puzzle and they fit together extremely well. They're thick and sturdy and the image reproduction is really lovely. The tree bark made this puzzle a little bit of a challenge, but it's nothing for me and my puzzle buddy – we made short work of it. We enjoy the challenge as long as it's not too frustrating, and work together really well.
They're a beautiful bird, and it's fitting that they're in so many puzzles. If you're a fan of cardinals and you come across this puzzle I highly recommend it – we had a great time assembling it.

Southern rap duo Dirty signed with Universal Records in late 2000 in the wake of the South's late-'90s emergence as a major force in the rap game, becoming the first major rap act to arise from Alabama. Originating from Montgomery, group members Big Pimp and Mr. G' Stacka fused quick-firing styles in the tradition of Southern pioneers OutKast with a unique Alabama-style pimp-meets-gangsta disposition and some refreshingly inventive production. With an elegant delivery, they stood above their legions of Dirty South peers, experiencing remarkable popularity in their hometown thanks to their The Pimp & da Gangsta album, which became a regional smash hit when originally released independently by Nfinity Music. Though preceded by their 1999 release, Countryversatile, it was this second album that inspired the hype that led to their signing with Universal. In February 2001, The Pimp & da Gangsta saw national release in a more polished state with new tracks. The upbeat single "That's Dirty" announced the arrival of 2003's Keep It Pimp and Gangsta, the last album the duo would record for Universal. Love Us or Hate Us was rushed out by the end of the year. Released on Rap-a-Lot, the album included some sharp criticism aimed at Universal and other rappers who were signed to the label. The group formed their own label, Black Klown Records, and helped build the career of their little cousin Lil' Burn One before returning in 2005 with Hood Stories. ~ Jason Birchmeier

1Q19 net profit was S$140m (-59% y-o-y) against our expectation of S$250m as passenger yield declined 1%.
Decline was a surprise as passenger carriage and load factors were strong during the quarter.
Sequential earnings should improve as airlines globally try to push through higher fares and surcharges to offset rising fuel costs, and yields improve.
Maintain BUY but we lower our Target Price to S$12.40.
Maintain BUY with lower Target Price of S$12.40.
While 1Q19 results were below expectations, 1Q is seasonally weak and we are expecting yield improvement to be more pronounced in the quarters ahead (as all airlines globally have faced margin pressure in the first half of 2018 and look to raise ticket prices and impose fuel surcharges more aggressively), hence earnings should also be stronger over the next few quarters as yields eventually improve for SIA.
Factoring in a slower and lower yield improvement, we lower our FY19F and FY20F earnings by 14.8% and 13.7% respectively.
We have higher-than-consensus forecasts as we have factored in a 1-2% yield improvement per annum in FY19F and FY20F for SIA's flagship passenger business.
SIA's share price could re-rate on the back of yield recovery, sustained improvement in revenues, and ongoing cost management initiatives to lower its operating costs.
SIA's book value per share rose to S$11.80 at the end of 1Q19, as it recognised a fair value gain on cash flow hedges of S$925m, demonstrating the value of its fuel hedging program.
Lower Target Price to S$12.40 based on 1.1x FY19 P/BV, against a projected ROE of c. 8%. The stock offers decent dividend yield of 3.7%, based on a payout of 43-46% in the next two years.
SIA reported 1Q19 earnings that were below our expectations as passenger yields did not improve during the quarter as we had earlier expected. SIA reported an operating profit of $193m, 52% lower y-o-y than in 1Q18 which included S$175m of non-recurring revenue items. Excluding these non-recurring revenue items, operating profit would have fallen by S$37m y-o-y or 16% y-o-y, while we were expecting a decent improvement in core earnings.
The key miss comes from its flagship SIA passenger segment, where passenger yield during the quarter was lower by 1% y- o-y.
Coupled with a sharp rise in jet fuel costs, this led to a 51% y-o-y decline in contribution to S$181m. This was despite the cargo segment (whose EBIT contribution is no longer disclosed separately) posting strong yield growth (+10% y-oy) and results during the quarter. SIA EC's EBIT also fell by nearly 50% due to lower line maintenance work to S$10m, while Silkair and Scoot saw their combined earnings fall by S$10m to c. S$1m during the quarter. For the quarter, SIA posted a net profit of S$140m (-59% y-o-y) but excluding the one-off revenue items, this would represent a 28% y-o-y decline.
While this set of results was disappointing, 1Q is seasonally weak and we are expecting yield improvement to be more pronounced in the quarters ahead (as all airlines faced margin pressure in the first half of 2018 and look to raise ticket prices and impose fuel surcharges), and so earnings should also be stronger sequentially as yields eventually improve.
Factoring in a slower and lower yield improvement, we lower our FY19F and FY20F forecasts by 14.8% and 13.7% respectively.


Will Incredibles 2 Finally Show Us Frozone's Wife?
Will 'Incredibles 2' Finally Reveal Frozone's Wife?
While The Incredibles was full of a bunch of memorable characters, there was one character who was quite the scene stealer. This was all the more impressive since it was a character who isn't even seen in the movie – she is only heard from off-screen. We're talking about Frozone's wife, who was not too pleased that her cool superhero husband was desperately looking for his super suit so he could ruin their date night by going out to help The Incredibles stop a giant robot from destroying the city.
With Incredibles 2 on the way, and bringing the return of Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) alongside the titular superhero family, will we finally get to put a face with the voice who dubbed herself the "greatest good" the superhero would ever have? Director Brad Bird gave us the answer when we visited Pixar Animation recently.
Frozone's wife, named Honey Best, was originally voiced by Pixar employee Kimberly Adair Clark. But this time she will be voiced by LaTanya Richardson Jackson, the real life wife of Samuel L. Jackson. And while the most recent trailer for Incredibles 2 showed us that her voice would return for the sequel, there was no indication that we would finally see Honey make a more proper appearance in the franchise.
During a press conference for Incredibles 2 at Pixar Animation, director Brad Bird was asked about whether the increased attention being paid to diversity and equal representation, both for women and people of different races, was something that would be felt in the animated sequel. After all, there didn't seem to be any prominent characters of color in the roughly 35 minutes shown to us on Pixar's campus.
Maybe if there's ever an Incredibles 3 ,the story can turn to a story that focuses heavily on Frozone and the struggles of being a black superhero. After all, The Incredibles takes place in a mid-century world in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which is right around the time when the Civil Rights movement was heating up in the real world. That would certainly be an interesting topic for The Incredibles to tackle by using the world of superheroes for significant metaphors and themes about racism and diversity, not unlike X-Men's approach to mutant rights and acceptance.
Incredibles 2 arrives in theaters on June 15, 2018.

Invocation of God: "Al-Wabil al-Sayyib min al-kalim al-Tayyib"
In describing al-Wabil al-Sayyib, here translated into English for the first time as Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God, the author says, æWe have mentioned [in it] nearly one hundred benefits of remembrance of God [dhikr], and the secrets of remembrance.
In describing al-Wabil al-Sayyib, here translated into English for the first time as Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God, the author says, æWe have mentioned [in it] nearly one hundred benefits of remembrance of God [dhikr], and the secrets of remembrance. This is a book of great usefulness.Æ Written in the fourteenth century by the renowned theologian Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, this treatise movingly details the many blessings of the remembrance of God. Through discussions of the ego, the nature of the body, the ephemerality of the world, the degrees of prayer, fasting, charity, and the purification of the heart, this beautifully written work is a genuine contribution to Muslim spirituality. What makes Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God of great interest is that it illustrates the spiritual life of Ibn Qayyim and of his teacher, the Hanbalite reformer Ibn Taymiyya (1263AH/1328AD).

Welcome to Where Your Feet Take You!!
I am Kayla Bowker certified USAT Level 1 Triathlon Coach and founder of WhereYourFeetTakeYou. I am married to the most amazing man a girl could ask for. It is through his belief in myself that I now writing to you, as he continually pushes me to be the best person I can be. I live a great life in the Pacific Northwest where I work, learn, do a lot of running and weightlifting all intermixed with a little bit of road biking, swimming, golfing, and keeping an eye on an extraordinarily cute doodle puppy.
Running has always been there for me; it is something I started doing at a young age and while I have had my ups and downs with it running has always been my release. It seems as though no matter what is going on in my life I can lace up my runners step out on the pavement and lose myself in the flow of air rushing through my lungs, the pounding of feet on the pavement, and rush of being totally separated from everything. I am very blessed to have not only a body but a mind-set that allows me to continually push the envelope in order to see how much more I can take. Through this mind-set, and with the help of my family and friends, I have gained a strong belief in myself that I really can be great.
Over the years my passion has moved from strictly running to being a triathlete. My first official triathlon was in 2013 and since then I have progressed from a complete newbie to having toed the line at two World Championships. There have been many ups and downs along this journey and each one has helped me grow as person and an athlete.

Q: Timeout mechanism with changeable usage time I want to implement mechanism which will be closing connections if there are not used by specific period of time. This time is constant for all of the connections. Opened connections can be used many times, so I need to update usage time and always compute difference between current time and usage time. I also need to close connections which excess my timeout.
My opened connections are in Map. (Map<Id, Connection>) where Id is an Integer.
I thought about resolving my problem with DelayQueue, but there is no possible to update usage (in this case delay) time in this type of Queue.
I also know that this mechanism should work in separate thread.
Please, give me some tip about the best way of implementation or example. What kind of data structure should I use?
I can use Spring also (maybe there is some good mechanism and I don't know about it).

A: If you're speaking about database connectivity then just use connection poolers such as c3po, hikariCP, BoneCP and so on. Don't reinvent the wheel.

A: Take a look at the HikariCP code.  Specifically, look at:

*

*ConcurrentBag

*PoolBagEntry

*BaseDataSource.getConnection()

*BaseDataSource.releaseConnection()

*HouseKeeper inner class

While HikariCP is a database connection pool, you can use ConcurrentBag as is, use the HouseKeeper basically as is, slightly modify PoolBagEntry, and lift the basic gist from getConnection() and releaseConnection(), to create a generic pool.

This week we are meeting Alyssa to learn about caring for sea turtles in the wild.
Hi there! My name is Alyssa and I am a Park Ranger at Fort Fisher State Recreation Area. I'm not originally from North Carolina. I moved here from Pennsylvania about 4 years ago for an internship that began my career in environmental science and education.
The first turtle I ever saw nesting was in late May on a full moon night. We saw a dark shadow making its way from the water slowly up the beach. She crawled right up to the dune line leaving a trail in the sand behind her. Then she stopped, wiggled around throwing sand everywhere and then began to dig a hole using each of her rear flippers like hands. Taking one scoop at a time until it was just right. Once she was done, she laid her eggs, covered it back up and headed back out to the ocean. It is one of the most amazing things I'd ever witnessed. An animal that spends the majority of its life at sea to come up on shore for a few hours in the middle of the night and I was lucky enough to see it!
It was on Bald Head Island where I saw that turtle lay her eggs. I worked at the Bald Head Island Conservancy as a Sea Turtle Intern and subsequently as the Sea Turtle Program Coordinator. It was here that I turned to a nocturnal life schedule. My job was to stay awake from 9 PM to 6 AM and drive up and down the beach looking for nesting loggerhead sea turtles. Loggerhead sea turtles are the most abundant nesting species in North Carolina and they nest up and down our entire coast. Sadly they are a threatened species which means their populations are just not where they should be. Our job was to collect information about the female turtles that came up on to the beach to lay their eggs. We took carapace measurements, applied flipper and PIT tags and took dermal samples. Simply put this means that we measured their shell to see how big they were and gave them tags so that we could identify them in the future.
I have also had great opportunities to work at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher doing education and outreach. Here I was able to teach aquarium visitors all about the amazing feats that a lot of our sea turtles and marine animals face every day, how they overcome them and most importantly how we can help!
Now I work as a Park Ranger at Fort Fisher State Recreation Area. Here I combine all that I have done in the past. My job here is to help educate, conserve and protect our natural resources. Those natural resources include everything from the trees in the maritime forest to the flowers in the dunes, the birds in the marsh to the sea turtles in the ocean and everything in between. It is still a very important part of my job that I help to teach people how to best become a steward of our environment and encourage everyone to get outside and see what's in our backyards.
I hope you enjoyed meeting Alyssa and learning more about her journey working with sea turtles. Our hatchlings are from the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area which means Alyssa helped protect them while they were still in the nest. We are very thankful for her hard work. The turtles are getting bigger every week! This week Turtle A is 14.1 cm long and weighs 463.1 grams. Turtle B is 14.6 cm and weighs 532.1 grams. Not sure what to do with this weight and length? Learn more in our Hatchling to Yearling lesson plan.

Gisborne's charming coastal identity is defined largely by its relative seclusion, which guarantees you a serene and generous taste of a remarkably unspoiled and scenic coastline.
That isolation is due to its position perched out on the far easterly edge of the lower North Island, which ensures a blissfully serene vibe, aided in no small part by the spectacularly good weather this area experiences all year round. Gisborne enjoys an annual average of 2,200 sunshine hours.
Thanks to the high, hot, sunshine hours, fertile clay loam soils and fertile land, Gisborne is home to some of the most acclaimed winemakers in the country. The East Coast area is famous for producing exceptional Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Viognier, Pinot Gris, Merlot and Malbec.
Find flights to Gisborne
But if breaking a sweat is how you like holidaying, outdoor sports are also very much the name of the game with surfing, camping, diving, fishing, hunting, hiking and swimming all popular activities.
The East Coast offers some of the most consistent high quality surf breaks in New Zealand, with coastlines facing south and east, providing a 180 degree window for picking up super consistent swell.
Some other more low-key, easy going, attractions in Gisborne include soaking up panoramic views atop landmarks like Kaiti Hill, Young Nick's Head or the East Cape Lighthouse. For a splash of fauna colour, head to Titirangi Domain, Gisborne Botanical Gardens and Urewera National Park.
For a perfectly family friendly activity, head to Tatapouri where you can join a stingray feeding tour, or embark on the 10km dunes cycle trail section of the Motu Trail. This starts in Opotiki and eases along the Pacific Ocean coast.
For a more challenging riding experience, the nearby Rere Falls trail spans 103km and is considered a Heartland Ride, as part of the greater New Zealand Cycle Trail. The journey begins on a riverside, then takes you across plains and past many of Gisborne's finest vineyards and wineries. By combining Rere Falls with Motu Road trail you can effectively cycle from 'coast-to-coast.'
Horse riding and helicopter scenic tours are also popular attractions in this remarkably unspoilt corner of New Zealand.

Snowed Inn V: The Fifth One (Jan 28, 2006)
By THLaird Colyne Stewart
I was shaken awake at five hours by my faithful steward William Scrimgeour. Waking me is not an easy task, and a late night working on last minute details of an event made it an even more difficult task than normal. Eventually though my fellow Scotsman managed to rouse me from slumber, and I stumbled to the privy to prepare myself for the coming day.
After washing I descended to the first floor of Drew's End, our manor in Greenhithe territory, and began an inventory of materials that needed to be hauled to our inn in Ardchreag. I was soon joined by my lady wife, and fellow event steward, Þorfinna gráfeldr, while our guests from the Barony of Skraeling Althing slept on peacefully in one of our other rooms.
Soon, there was a knock on the door and William admitted several of our fellow Ardchreaggers: William Donovan, Snæbjörn sverðsbrjótr, Eirik Andersen and Tarian verch Gadarn. Tarian especially was well welcomed, as she came bearing drinks from the New World (called coffee, and hot chocolate).
We loaded our casks, crates and trunks into our various wains and wagons, and wended our way along the King's Highway, getting off in Ardchreag's county of Blackwood (known to the Mundanes as Pickering). There we found the Snowed Inn, ready and waiting for us. We began to unload our gear, and were soon joined by Wat of Sarum, and a bevy of Van der Eychs (Berend, Mahault and Adelaide). As the Van der Eychs readied the kitchen, the rest hung banners, moved tables, set up the dais and Ladies Gallery, put together a barrier, and lent their hands to many various tasks.
Soon, the hall was ready, and just in time, for by 9 o' the clock, guests had begun to arrive.
In the back of the hall along the south wall, THL Raffe Scholemaystre, sitting under the banner of the Games Guild of Ealdormere, spread his array of medieval games, which were much used over the course of the day. Beside him, Baroness Adrielle Kerrec presided over an arts and sciences competition with an heraldic theme.
Half of the hall was given over to tables where good gentles could sit and talk, play games, or work on crafts. On the east side of this half of the hall, Sir Evander and THL Melusine de la Rose served from the bar, while on the west side a free lunch board was kept well supplied by the Van der Eychs and their kitchen staff.
The other half of the hall was given over to the noble art of the sword. Along the north wall the dais of Their Majesties of Ealdormere had been raised, from which Their Majesties Edward and Rylyn, Their Highnesses Aaron and Rustique, and Their Excellencies Corwyn and Domhnail could survey all those gathered within. Beside them, Snæbjörn once again attended the Ladies Gallery, providing them with food and drink. He also ran a fighters' buffet, laying out bread and fruit, water and a strange orange drink.
Before the dais and the gallery was the list field. Lady Seonag nicThomais was the first to use the field that day, having organized a series of tournaments for the youth fighters of the kingdom. Many good gentles (such as Dagmar Halvdan) had donated prizes for the youth combat, and the good knights Sirs Evander, Siegfried, and Cennedi had each sponsored one of the three age groups, each making either a sword or a piece of armour as a prize. Many tournaments and melees were held, and later the following prizes were awarded: Quilliam, over all tournament winner and Best Theme in the Helm Show; Matthias, winner of the Roman Melee; Niadh, who authorized and then went on to win in the Sword and Shield Double Elimination Round Robin Tourney; Algar, Most Authentic Presentation in the Helm Show, and Morgam, Most Colourful in the helm Show.
While the youth combat was occurring, two new adult fighters authorized in sword shield. They were Emma of Greenhithe and Helena of Bastille du Lac. When the youth combat was complete, Their Majesties called the tournament herald—Magistra Nicolla de Bracton—before them to introduce to Them the fighters who would be competing in Their Tournament of Renown. The list was long, and numbered many noble and courteous gentles. The tournament was a single-sword, single-elimination tournament, to three counted blows. This ended up taking a long time to run, as double-shots did not count and had to be re-fought. My own battle for instance, against the most excellent Honourable Gann, had at least fourteen double-shots. In the end, Sir Siegfried defeated Sir Evander to win the Tournament and ensure a place in the Elite Tournament of Renown to be fought in April.
At some point during the fighting, I cannot know recall exactly when, my squire-brother Tiberius of Warwickshire was called before Their Majesties and inducted into the noble Order of Thorbjorn's Hammer.
After this, Duke Sir Finnvarr De Taahe, the king-of-arms, selected several gentles present to represent certain Vices upon the field. The Vices, wearing baldrics displaying their vice, then selected others to represent the Virtues, who were given garters to wear. The Vices and the Virtues took opposite ends of the field, and all other fighters chose which side they wanted to join. Finnvarr pointed out that the following battles would determine who would wield the Sword of Prowess over the upcoming year. He also pointed out that three of the previous winners were present, and all of them had fallen to Vice, so a new wielder was obviously badly needed!
The Vices and the Virtues then met in challenges over the barrier, and in grand melees. Sir Nigel MacFarlane, acting as Avarice, at one point walked to the barrier with naught but a dagger. When his opponent tried to locate a dagger to meet his chosen form, Avarice would not allow it, and made him use a sword. For, as Avarice bellowed, he was greedy for glory! Sloth, in the guise of THL Etian du Naval, also had a memorable moment at the barrier when he lazily fought with a two-handed sword in only one hand.
When the fighting was done, the Ladies Gallery handed out several tokens to those who had inspired them, entertained them, or distinguished themselves. (I was awarded a token for a particularly entertaining death.) The Sword of Prowess—and a spot in the Elite Tournament of Renown—was then awarded to THL Gann. He was also given a box, handmade by members of the Canton of Ardchreag, as well as two goblets for his lady.
The hall was then readied for court. Their Excellencies Septentria awarded a Bear's Claw to Sir Cennedi for his training of fighters at Ardchreag and Skeldergate. They also recognized Lord Eirik Andersen's work with spontaneous illumination by giving him a Golden Bear. Septentria's taxes for the coming year were announced, which was for each canton, household and military unit within the barony to find a relic that somehow represents their founding, and bring them to the barony's Twelfth Night celebrations in AS XLI to form a Septentrian Museum.
Their Majesties then held Their own court. Many awards were presented, including: Dagmar Halvdan's Award of Arms, Bjarn Stymirson's Award of the Scarlet Banner, Ludwig von Eisengrim's Award of the Scarlet Banner, and the elevation of THL Garwig von Wolfenschmidt to the rank of Court Baron.
After court a buffet style supper was presented, followed by an evening of games, dancing and good fellowship.
When it was all over, the weary few of us left once again loaded our wains, and brought our casks, crates and trunks back to Drew's End for storage. It was, as always, a fulfilling day. And it was, as always, a deep refreshing sleep afterwards.
