THREE pairs of socks going on. Seriously, this has never happened. The amount of WIPs I have right now is getting silly. I keep telling myself NO MORE NEW PROJECTS! Then I get sucked into some that I have to cast on right now.
Oh the things a just cast-on sock can become!
The color in the photo is pretty spot on. I like how the cable pattern I picked out is coming along. I'm using Lanett superwash wool, which I haven't used before. I find it to be quite soft and it makes a great sock yarn even though I had my doubts when I found it in the baby yarn section at my LYS. I don't think the fact that it's 100% wool makes it less sock worthy, either. I know that most sock yarns have something to make them a little more elastic, but these are pretty stretchy on their own. Considering my pal lives where it gets quite cold, I'm hoping that these will be extra warm for those cold months!
Okay – Knitter's Connection!! It's next week! I can't believe it. It feels like this month has gone by so fast and I can hardly believe it's almost time to go. I'm very excited. This will be my first ever knitting related convention. I'm a little sad I'm going on my own, but I'm sure I'll still have a blast. I think I've about got hotel arrangements down (staying where the event is is out of the question – too expensive if I can't split the cost with someone) as well as the parking situation for the time that I'll be there. Trying to figure out food and what kind of budget I'll be allowed for yarn while I'm there (I'll totally be using my Stash-a-long free day for June here!). I still need to get my "homework" done for the classes, but I'll work on that this Sunday.
Alright… off to more knitting and planning for my trip next week. More knitting updates soon!
A gal I work with has a little one who's right around a year (maybe more, maybe less – I don't really know) and I saw this pattern in my Knitting Pattern-a-Day Calendar for a Popover hat. It was just so cute that I offered to make it for her out of some yarn I had in my stash. This took me very little time, but it's gotten on skein out of my stash, so I'm all for that.
Notes/Mods: The only mod I made was to the tie on the hat – I knit an i-cord instead of using ribbon. This was a pretty easy knit for me. I don't care too much for the way the increases are done since this is knit from the top down. It makes it kind of…. funky. If I were to knit this again, I may do it from the bottom up.
I got the yarn for my sock-pal socks. I'll post about that later, though. Happy crafting and have a good Memorial Day!
I just came across This Blog Post and wanted to share it. If you like to do charity knitting or have extra yarn that needs using up, here's something you can donate to. They're asking for 8″ squares in acrylic yarn. All the details are in the post.
I know I'll be making some to use up various yarn that I have hanging around.
On April 21st, I went to the Blue Grass Festival of Books to see Stephanie Pearl-McPhee aka the Yarn Harlot and Stefanie Japel aka Glampyre.
I wore my Bad Penny, which is a pattern from Stefanie Japel. When we got there, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee was signing books, so I went right away to get my copy of her newest book signed. I even got to hold her sock and she held my little beginning of a sock (which she said was cool because the beginning of a sock has so many possibilities and could turn out to be anything).
If you EVER get a chance to go see her, go!! I find her to be quite funny and even Nick, the non-knitter who loves a knitter, laughed quite a bit. I didn't get to stay for the sit and knit after her talk because we had a baseball game to get to. I did get the chance to meet Stefanie Japel, though. She signed my copy of her new (first!) book, Fitted Knits. She even told me she likes my sweater!!
I'm already waiting for her second book – I'm sure it will be just as good as the first!
Last Sunday was Stitch 'n Pitch. There were quite a few knitters and we all sat in the same section. We even got bags with yarn and other goodies in it! Nick and Kaylee (my sister the crocheter) went with me. Since Nick sat in the "knitter section" he got a bag, too, so I ended up with enough yarn to make a vest. Pretty sweet, eh? I got another bag they were passing out as a giveaway for people who came to the game, so I made out pretty good. The Cincinnati Reds played the Colorado Rockies and beat them 8 to 3! It was a good game and I got quite a bit of knitting done.
Here is Kaylee, me and the girl next to me is Beth, who is part of the knitting group here (we met at the yarn shop for our tickets and she rode with us from there – yay for carpooling!). I think one of the other gals in the row is part of the knitting group as well, but I don't know her name. This was taken well before the game started, but trust me – the section was filled up soon after and there were a few rows of knitters.
I actually came home with 4 skeins of Cotton Fleece, but one isn't shown in the picture because it's nearly all used up on the project I'm working on….
Yes, I'm already knitting a pattern from Fitted Knits!
I'm working on the Back-to-School U-neck Vest. I really like how it's coming out so far and it will be great for the summer. Totally something I can wear to work, which is great. I have a feeling it will be a quick knit for me. I started it on Tuesday and I'm halfway through the body portion.
My socks, though, have not seen much love since I started this vest. Neither has my sweater, but I'm counting on my sweater to be my long term project for a while to come. I plan on working on it most of the summer as my "big project" since I won't really be able to wear it until after summer anyhow. The vest, though will get plenty of wear during the summer, so I'm all for working on it!
Anyone else participating in Sockapalooza 4? I'm pretty excited about it, but I haven't even begun thinking of a yarn or pattern. Mostly because money is a little tight at the moment and between work and unpacking, my knitting time is limited.
Well, I'm going to relax a bit and watch the NASCAR Busch race. Happy crafting!
Wow. I didn't realize it's been a few weeks since I last posted! Shame on me for being a bad blogger.
I haven't done a whole lot of knitting because I've been unpacking boxes in my spare moments when I'm at home. Work has been taking a real toll on me, but things have finally slowed down a little bit. The house is nearly unpacked, but we've still a way to go. At least the living spaces are getting nearly completely unpacked. There's still plenty of boxes downstairs in the basement to sort through, but at least I'm not staring at as many in the living room, kitchen and bedroom. I'm finally starting to get my craft room together. It's really nice to have a room to put all my crafty things instead of the corner of the living room like before. I still have a bit of work, but it's getting there. I'm sure Nick will be happy when I stop taking up the sofa in the living room with various knitting books and various other crafty things.
I've been working on a pair of Monkey socks. Third time is a charm, eh? I've finally got the pattern working for me with different yarn. I have one sock made and am working on the second one. I've also been knitting on The Sweater (aka Starlight) and occasionally Argosy scarf. I only have three projects on the needles! I'm contemplating forgetting about the scarf and using the yarn for something else. Not sure what exactly, but I'm really not enjoying the pattern as much as I thought I would. I like the final product, but it's just not keeping my interest.
I went to a Cincinnati Reds baseball game on Sunday. It was Stitch 'n Pitch day! There were quite a few knitters there. I took my sister and Nick went, too. We had a pretty good time and the Reds even won! (They played against the Colorado Rockies and one 8 to 3.) I had a lot of fun.
Recently, Nick "helped" me meet the local knitting group. We were at Barnes & Noble. I'd seen the group there before, but I'm really shy and never met them. He introduced me and they were all very welcoming. I like having a knitting group again. They meet on Wednesday nights and it's nice to get out mid-week for a while.

Arguing is a good sign.
Arguing is a good sign that people are engaging with listening to demand and are having to think through what they are there for. As described in the previous post, after each intial demand listening exercise, they would convene back in the classroom, and take it in turns to read out what customers had said on the phone, in the customer service centre etc. Generally people don't need encouraging, when it goes well people easily slip into reading out the customers words as if in an acting class, casually, with an accent, use of slang etc. The customer is in the room!
As each demand is read out, people debate, is it value or is it failure?
Value demand= created by the customer, when they need something, what we are here for.
Failure demand=created by the organisation, caused by a failure to do something, or do something right for the customer.
The act of reading it out, and people debating, is important. There is a lot of pointing at the definition of value and failure demand which is pinned on the wall, and repeatedly asking, "is this caused by something we have done?". People feel comfortable if a demand is something that fits in with a designed policy or routine, for example someone asking for the phone number to make a complaint is often seen as a value demand, as there are processes to follow and forms to fill in when someone wants to make a complaint, so it seems as if "Normal" and therefore not a "failure". Perhaps at this stage a failure demand is looked at as if chaotic in nature?
People often become stuck on the particular details of a call, and theorizing over the ins and outs, what is known and not known. For some reason this often leads them to err on the side of deciding that a demand is a value demand. Perhaps at this stage they are still naturally reticent to recognise a failure demand as existing at all, or are still stuck on treating all units of demand as to be welcomed, as they are used to seeing their job as where being able to deal successfully with all sorts of requests is a sign of an experienced and skilful worker.
I have found two tactics to deal with this. Firstly, say they imagine that demand isn't just the one they are looking at in their hand, but is a predictable and major demand, tens of thousands of them a year. Now consider whether that demand is value, or failure. Scaling it up seems to help them think through whether this is what the customer wants, and is what the organisation is for. The second tactic I have found that works is asking that they err on the side of non-caution. If in doubt, it is a failure demand. The reasoning is that if there are only one or two of that type, it doesn't matter. No action is going to to be mis-directed by an inaccurately defined demand, not at this stage. On the other hand , if it turns out there is a substantial number of this type of demand, get it categorised now and it allows it to be captured at an early stage, and a larger scope for improvement is better than narrowing it.
There are as many demands as there are people, demand is people shaped, but also it is predictable. If it wasn't, then how could you do business each day? Not knowing whether there is someone coming through the door asking for a benefits claim, or to buy an ice-cream? Demand is always predictable to some degree. Using the 80/20 principle we decided to concentrate on the categories that make up 80% of the demand, both value and failure. But what to DO with these, now you have them? Next post!

On Nov. 28, the Massapequa Takes Action Coalition (MTAC) held a vaping presentation at Massapequa High School with the Parent Teacher Student Association. Vaping products stimulate the feeling of smoking cigarettes and can be used to vape marijuana.
The U.S Food & Drug Administration states that 3.62 million users of vaporizers, hookah pens and e-cigarettes are middle and high school students and this usage has increased from last year by 78 percent percent for high schoolers and 48 percent for middle school students.
MTAC received a $625,000 Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program Grant from the federal government in October that will address alcohol and marijuana use among youths in the Massapequa School District (MSD).
Over 200 coalitions across the country applied for DFC funding. The Office of National Drug Control Policy awarded 156 grants, MTAC being the only one in Nassau County.
"Our research from within the coalition is getting us to pull back that onion and it shows us that we have a young adult problem here in our community," Samuels said. "We ask ourselves what our younger teens are doing, and alcohol and marijuana are prevalent." MTAC and YES work closely with the Massapequa School District (MSD) by holding assemblies, presentations, mandatory prom meetings and fundraisers.
Samuels said that close to 60 parents attended the vaping presentation. This is one of the highest attended events that they have seen so far.
MSD sent out a letter to parents about the dangers of vaping and changed their policy when it comes to the consequences if a student is caught with a vaporizer on school grounds. "The school has always been incorporating the dangers of vaping into the policies but now are really active in providing consequences for teens that are using them in school," the letter said.
The coalition also provides parent-student meetings and gives out "prescription disposal kits." Samuels said that their research shows that 70 percent of young adults get their medications from family medicine cabinets and 31 percent of Massapequa students have been prescribed an opioid for pain, whether it was from an injury or a surgery.
On Oct. 27, MTAC held the bi-annual Drug Take Back Day at Massapequa High School. The event was to urge residents and parents to turn in unused or expired medication for safe disposal.
According to Samuels, research from the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services found that when kids use alcohol or marijuana before the age of 15, they are seven times more likely to have an issue of addiction at some point in their lives.
The coalition's mission is prevention.
"YES and MTAC have really been a godsend to the community," Danielle J. LaRose, outreach coordinator from St. Rose of Lima Church in Massapequa, said. "We have partnered really well with them over the last number of years." St. Rose of Lima is one of the 19 organizations with the coalition.
The Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) has reported that there have been 502 heroin arrests in Nassau County since Jan. 1 of this year. Last year, 600 people died on Long Island from an opioid overdose.
Nassau County, reportedly, has had its first decrease in five years when it comes to the "raging opioid epidemic" that has affected much of Long Island as a whole. However, the decrease is not as significant as officials had hoped for. According to the NCPD website the county has had a 30 percent reduction in non-fatal overdoses since Jan. 1.
Opioids are a class of drugs that require a prescription because the CDC warns anyone can become addicted to them. According to the U.S Department of Education, in 2016, more Americans died because of opioid overdoses than car crashes.
The coalition also provides Narcan training. Narcan, or Naloxone, can be a lifesaver and can reverse an opioid overdose. Amanda Cioffi of Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence has trainings that are about 45 minutes long and she teaches people about the signs and symptoms of an overdose and the proper way to administer Naloxone.
"Besides the resources we provide at LICADD, there are a multitude of resources for people who have a substance abuse problem in Nassau County," Cioffi said.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS AMONG THE WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE GROUP TO THE OUT PATIENT DEPARTMENT AT DHAKA MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL, BANGLADESH
Mukti Rita Gomes
The current study was conducted to assess the awareness on breast cancer among the women of reproductive age group attending outpatient department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, SSMC Mitford Hospital and National cancer Research Institute and Hospital for their treatment of different diseases. A descriptive cross sectional study design was followed and respondents were selected purposively. A mean age of the respondents was 32 years with a standard deviation of 5. Majority (55%) respondents heard about breast cancer and among them 62 percent got information from their relatives. 64 percent respondents reported that they knew about breast care. However, 70 percent respondents did not know self-breast examination (SBE). So far practice is concerned only 1 percent performed regular SBE. A great majority (87%) got information on breast care from medical personnel. 31 percent respondents reported that their relatives suffered from breast cancer. 50 percent respondents knew nothing whether breast cancer is curable and only 2 percent reported that it was not curable. Among the respondents' 24 percent suffered from different breast problems. Of them 23 percent suffered from lump with breast pain, 27 percent from painless lump and 42 percent from breast pain only. Only 35 percent of the respondents with breast problems visited physicians for treatment. And 66 percent of the respondents agreed that early detection and early intervention can cure breast cancer. For this purpose, this study would like to investigate the breast cancer awareness among the female reproductive of age group to the outpatients in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh.

Saudi-led Coalition Kills More Than 20 Children In New Massacre In Western Yemen (Video)
On August 23, a warplane of the Saudi-led coalition conducted an airstrike on a mini bus carrying displaced civilians out from the district center of al-Durayhimi in western Yemen, according to the Yemeni al-Masirah TV. Local sources told al-Masirah that 22 children and 4 women were killed as a result of the airstrike.
https://southfront.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/a.mp4
Colonel Omar al-Hashibari, the director of security in al-Durayhimi, said that Saudi-led coalition warplanes are still flying over the attack site and preventing the Yemeni Red Crescent from evacuating injured civilians.
This was the third attack of the Saudi-led coalition on Yemeni civilians this month. On August 2, more than 55 civilians were killed in the western Yemeni city of al-Hudaydah by coalition warplanes. A week later, a warplane of the coalition bombed a school bus in Dahyan market in the northern Yemeni province of Saada killing around 50 civilians, most of whom were children.
The Saudi-led coalition has not commented on the airstrike so far. The coalition described the previous incidents as "legitimate military action," despite of the high death toll.
The new massacre may further increase the international pressure on the Saudi-led coalition and the U.S. government, which is supplying the coalition with advanced weapons.

Eustaquio de Roma, mártir. Llamado Placidus antes de su bautismo. Fue un general romano que combatió a las órdenes del emperador Trajano, convertido al cristianismo, fue martirizado en Roma durante las persecuciones de Adriano (118). Su fiesta se celebra el 20 de octubre.

Vida

Según la leyenda se convirtió tras una visión que tuvo un día en el que salió de caza, cuando una manada de ciervos venía hacia él, destacándose uno que, entre sus cuernos, llevaba un crucifijo (un visión semejante a la que en su momento tuvieron San Félix de Valois y san Huberto de Lieja). Una luz fulgurante iluminó las astas del ciervo y oyó una voz que le decía: «Plácido ¿por qué me persigues? Tú vas a sufrir mucho por causa de Cristo». Convertido al cristianismo fue perseguido, martirizado, torturado y sacrificado junto con su esposa Teopista y sus dos hijos Agapito y Teopisto.

La veneración por este santo proviene de antiguo. En las iglesias griegas y latinas es honrado como uno de los catorce Santos auxiliadores.

Iconografía y patronazgo
Se le representa con los símbolos de un crucifijo y un ciervo en relación con su conversión, y con un horno, por su muerte, cuando es encerrado con su familia en un toro de bronce, bajo el que se enciende una hoguera.
Es el patrón de los cazadores y se le invoca ante las situaciones difíciles y los problemas familiares.

Le están consagradas la iglesia de Saint-Eustache en París, así como una iglesia en Versalles, una en Quebec, una en la Alta Saboya y la iglesia de San Eustaquio , en Sanlúcar la Mayor, donde se le atribuye el milagro además de ser el patrón dicha localidad.  Asimismo, comparte con San Huberto el peculiar honor de haber inspirado el logotipo del licor de hierbas Jägermeister.

5 Big Ideas
Let's Look Beyond GDP to Rebuild Latin America
By Alicia Bárcena | August 5, 2020
Well-being, inequality and sustainability should be measured just as carefully as the monetary value of a nation's products.

This article is adapted from AQ's special report on fighting the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. See all 5 Big Ideas for recovery here:
Guarantee Income | A New Trade Push | Universal Health Care
Not Just GDP | Keep Kids in School
SANTIAGO – What a year 2020 has been. But Latin America and the Caribbean are certainly not alone as we face the challenges imposed by the pandemic. The spread of the new coronavirus was set against the backdrop of the crisis of multilateralism, growing inequality, climate change, trade wars, unprotected migration, demographic change and mounting global geopolitical tensions.
The job ahead is to rebuild and restart, better. But what will be our goal? Which yardstick should we use?
Download our 5 Big Ideas special report as a PDF
Even before these multiple crises arose, there was a growing international recognition that well-being is multidimensional and cannot be captured exclusively through monetary metrics. When countries focus solely on increasing their annual gross domestic product (GDP), concerns for the environment, erasing poverty or even basic services such as providing safe drinking water run the risk of being left on the back burner.
This does not mean that we should stop measuring GDP, but rather that it must be complemented with information that captures dimensions of well-being and sustainability beyond economic production. Make no mistake, economic growth is needed to boost the population's well-being, but that growth must take place within the framework of a new development pattern—one that is compatible with using natural resources sustainably and reducing social gaps, among other considerations.
The focus on sustainable growth is crucial for a more comprehensive regional recovery after the coronavirus pandemic. To get there, we need to improve our yardsticks.
What follows are some ideas on how to do that.
Measuring inequality
The challenges involved in producing relevant and timely statistical information for decision-making, for both nation-states and the international cooperation system, are enormous.
One main critical issue is how we monitor inequalities.
First, there is a need to improve the way we measure the income of the richest segments of the population. Current household surveys have limitations to gauge and portray these groups accurately. The way forward is to use information from other sources, such as tax and administrative records. The challenge is to develop methodologies that make these data sources compatible and comparable across countries. Information is also needed on the concentration of wealth and assets — the region is only just beginning to develop statistical competencies in this area.
Steps should also be taken toward capturing other manifestations of inequality, such as the concentration of power and information.
For low-income earners, we must measure inequalities in the quality of education, health, housing, employment and social security. In many of the region's countries, asymmetries in these areas tend to be expressed more in differences in quality than in access itself. Disparities in the quality of employment are particularly significant, as they are linked to the structural gaps that characterize the region's labor market and to the disparities in educational attainment—two factors that help to perpetuate inequality and poverty over time. And inequality itself is a costly inefficiency.
When it comes to statistics, the tools we have are better for measuring the quality of employment than that of education. Most countries undertake specific employment surveys, while there is not yet a regular, standard test to measure knowledge and skills acquired in schools that is applied in all the countries of the region.
For low-income earners, we must measure inequalities in quality of education, health, housing, employment and social security.
To build a detailed overview of inequality, we need information that can be disaggregated by gender, ethnicity, age group, area of residence and disabilities, among other factors. In the area of gender, disparities in time use and unpaid work are of particular interest. These elements perpetuate women's subordinate status, as do gaps in access to and quality of paid work. There are significant statistical challenges in this area, as there is in the data-collection instruments used to collate information on domestic violence, and particularly femicide, the most obvious manifestations of patriarchal societies that choose to victimize women.
With regard to indigenous and Afro-descendant populations, it is important to have data to monitor racist and discriminatory practices, as well as the perceptions of the affected groups. Otherwise, in the absence of disaggregated information, we will be blind to who is being left behind in our societies and could mistakenly believe that an improvement in the averages benefits everyone equally.
We are in the midst of an unprecedented technological and data revolution. The availability of new sources of big data and the development of artificial intelligence techniques are a promising way to increase the knowledge of our societies. But accessing such information to generate official statistics that can be used to formulate public policies is still a challenge that remains unaddressed.
Uncovering a bad picture
Collecting all this data is even more important given what we've learned from COVID-19; the pandemic put a spotlight on all these manifestations of deprivation in Latin America. Overcrowding and lack of access to water and sanitation facilities have contributed significantly to the rise in infections among the poorest populations.
The region has seen how the precariousness of employment and inadequate economic relief measures for the most vulnerable populations have limited the effectiveness of lockdowns and social distancing measures. Moreover, despite official remote learning mandates, it has been difficult to continue school activities in countries where many children and young people do not have access to a computer or an Internet connection.
Increasing levels of air, water, soil and ocean pollution affect human and ecosystem health.
At the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, we are currently in the process of designing a regionally comparable multidimensional poverty index that includes all these deprivation indicators and that can contribute to track the well-being of the population with a broader perspective than income alone.
The persistence of inequality and deepening of poverty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, against the backdrop of a serious environmental and climate crisis, is not only jeopardizing well-being now but also threatens the natural heritage that will be available to future generations. The extraction of natural resources at rates above their replenishment level, and increasing levels of air, water, soil and ocean pollution, affect human and ecosystem health. To move toward a more sustainable development pattern, statistical information is required to determine the conservation status of natural heritage, in particular that of nonrenewable goods, and data is also needed to monitor international commitments on reducing carbon emissions.
The climate emergency is causing more intense and frequent natural disasters with considerable human, infrastructure and economic costs, which hit the most vulnerable populations hardest. It is therefore essential to quantify the impact and geographical spread of these events, paying particular attention to populations with fewer resources, especially in the region's cities, which are highly segregated. Information on investment in climate resilience and improved post-disaster reconstruction is also required.
While a great deal of progress has been made in recent years in the production of environment, climate and sustainable development indicators, capacity-building in this area still requires additional investment for this information to be incorporated into more comprehensive metrics of sustainable well-being for all. A long-term frame must also be incorporated to compare inter-generational inequality, particularly in light of the current climate emergency and the environmental crisis that we are bequeathing to future generations.
Statistics must be our friend in the pursuit of sustainable targets; a focus on GDP alone won't take us there.
Subjective indicators of well-being and discontent are largely absent from the region's official statistics. These indicators are important, as any initiative to create redistributive social pacts that seek to provide a minimum level of well-being for the population will require citizens' support if they are to be sustained over time. To this end, some critical indicators are those that measure trust in institutions and perceptions of abuse, corruption and inequality. Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen how public policy initiatives have been eroded by public distrust of institutions, even those linked to the scientific community. Mistrust and the feeling of being manipulated by an elite not only impair the effectiveness of responses to the pandemic but could also further undermine the democratic order in the medium term.
Ahead of us is the challenge of increasing the understanding of the relationships among the different dimensions of well-being — and the need to incorporate those in our decision-making at all levels of government and private-sector activity.
Statistics must be our friend in the pursuit of sustainable targets; a focus on GDP alone won't take us there. They must be incorporated as an integral part of the design and evaluation of our public policies. Otherwise, the increase in the availability of information will not be enough to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the regional situation and to take the necessary actions for attaining sustainable growth and improving Latin America's well-being

I have a 1080p T.V and all settings set on yes/real/pro/high/manual on the graphics/game-play/controls etc. Xbox One. Controller.
Yes the patch is coming out to address the most important controller issues etc etc and I would like to thank Ian and all the team for getting this patch out so quickly but I would like to highlight a few other things I have noticed.
If peeps could vouch / back me up on a few of these things it would be great.
/ When looking at other championship final standings on career mode other-than mine the words (lettering) appears to be jumbled, looks like Latin letters/words.
/ Missing multi-player lobby feature from other PS4 and PC users.
/ Ghost data/Replay does not work.
/ Missing or not included Friends leader-boards on time attack etc, etc.
/ Rolling starts can sometimes create the A.I to have crashes at the start of the race.
When you are done playing, do you shut your xbox down completely (holding the power for ~5 seconds)? I've had little to no FPS issues or bugs other than steering and the occasional smash into the garage at Zolder. Instead of putting xbox on standby, which is the default way to power down console, I shut it off like I would a PC.
You can change the console to "energy saving" mode instead of "instant on", so when you turn it off the console completely turns off. You will not have games updating whilst you are not there if you use the energy saving option.
Great post.Exactly my experience with the game! And I shut my Xbox down completely!
Ok it was on 'Energy Saving'. I just went into settings and clicked 'Update Console' and it is saying an Update is available. lol. oops. Let me see if that numbs any of the issues.
Yea tree's, graphical elements appearing and disappearing should be fixed. :) They can be very off-putting.
AI are slower at the beginning and in the rain (perhaps not slow enough:)) apart of that they race in their "normal" speed"
I completely agree with everything you've got listed there puma, Im also on xbox and i can concur with every bullet point, and the one about the friends leaderboards just amazes me that it has been missed when selling to arguably the biggest online gaming community in the world, the main reason we play online games is to compete against our friends. So if Ian Bell or any senior moderators can explain this to us as I can't of the top my head think of another racing game that hasn't got this feature.

REVIEW – Y&T

@ Newcastle O2 Academy, September 30 2011
Is there a better value rock show doing the rounds right now than that delivered by the born again Y&T?
On this evidence you'd be hard pressed to find one.
A healthy crowd, given the band's swift return to Tyneside, guaranteed a crackling old school atmosphere – with familiar faces and long-lost friends enjoying a glorious trip back to the future.
More than two hours of polished hard rock thrilled the masses and 30 years since the landmark Earthshaker record highlights from that career-defining album came thick and fast.
And such was the clamour for more that the band later asked for requests from one of their finest releases to date.
An early highlight was Dirty Girl with many of those present perfectly reciting every word. Mean Streak and Midnight In Tokyo proved to be back-to-back belters and by now this brilliant gig was in full swing.
Y&T's newer material already fits seamlessly into a set which barely lets up. And even a moving tribute to the late Phil Kennemore failed to subdue the atmosphere – huge cheers and applause celebrating the life of a much-missed and talented musician.
Squeeze, from Earthshaker, gave Meniketti's voice a break as vocal duties were momentarily shared. But the main man was back to guide his band through a four-song encore – finishing with the fantastic Forever. And that's exactly how long Y&T's fans will stick with these rock n roll heroes.

Situated in the Ionian Sea, 14 kms south of Corfu, Paxos can be accessed easily via a 45 minute hydrofoil ride from Corfu. Like the Ionian islands generally, it is a green island with many trees and endless olive groves. The eastern coastline, where the main villages and ports are located, and home to the majority of our luxury villas to rent on Paxos, is gentler than the west, which is characterized by steep cliffs and caves. The west coast is also renowned for its spectacular sunsets, which can be particularly appreciated from the family-run Erimitis Bar and Restaurant, its hill top location on an old vineyard, which has been owned by the family for generations.
The charm of Paxos lies in its serene and tranquil ambience, as well as its beauty. The beaches are white pebble, with the clearest turquoise blue water imaginable. The capital of the island is Gaios a picturesque village towards the south of the island, built around a port which is protected by two small islands Agios Nikolas and Panagia. Towards the north of the island is the village of Lakka, on another beautiful bay, and on the east side, the charming village of Loggos, with its harbour lined with tavernas and bars. You can dine very well on Paxos, which makes the most of its supplies of excellent fresh local seafood, and colourful salads dressed with the distinctive olive oil made from the island's delicious lianolia olives, washed down with a bottle of white wine from neighbouring Antipaxos.
If you are looking for total relaxation in beautiful surroundings, combined with genuine friendly Greek hospitality at its best, accommodation at a luxury rental villa on Paxos is very hard to beat!

Unconscious processing operates under conscious influence
Press release | 17 Aug 2016 - 10h19 | By INSERM PRESS OFFICE

In a study published in the new international scientific journal Neuroscience of Consciousness, Benjamin Rohaut, Inserm researcher, and Lionel Naccache, leader of the team "Picnic lab: Physiological Investigation of Clinically Normal and Impaired Cognition," both of whom are also clinicians attached to the Neurology Department at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, AP-HP, provide proof that unconscious semantic processing of a word exists, but that it is subject to very strong conscious influences. The work was conducted in collaboration with their colleagues at the Brain and Spine Institute – AP-HP/CNRS/Inserm/UPMC and the Laboratory of Cognitive Psychology (CNRS/AMU).
Experimental psychology is full of situations that make it possible to probe the depth and variety of mental operations performed unbeknown to us, i.e. unconsciously. For example, using subliminal visual presentation techniques, it is possible to "inject" a word into the brain of someone, and then track its fate at psychological and brain levels with the help of behavioural measurements and functional brain imaging. Since the late 1990s, several high-profile studies have also demonstrated that the meaning of a subliminal image, number or word may be unconsciously represented in our mind/brain.
In the study conducted by Lionel Naccache, the researchers provide proof that unconscious semantic processing of a word genuinely exists, but that it is subject to very strong conscious influences.
To do this, they used words such as: "palm, bank, jam, bail, date, ball, tire, bark, bowl, spit …". All these words share a common semantic property, have you noticed?
In reality each of these words is "polysemous," and therefore has two (or more) different meanings. Each time such as word is presented to you, you can therefore understand it in two different ways. Consciously, we perceive only one meaning at a time, as stated by Descartes back in 1649 in Les Passions de l'âme : "We have only one thought of one thing at a time." The meaning of the word we access consciously at a given moment is likely to be influenced.
Thus, if you read: TREE then PALM you are very likely to access the botanic meaning of the word PALM: "an unbranched evergreen tree with a crown of long feathered or fan-shaped leaves, and typically having old leaf scars forming a regular pattern on the trunk. Palms grow in warm regions, especially the tropics" whereas the HAND – PALM pair will strongly orient your semantic analysis toward the "the inner surface of the hand between the wrist and fingers".
In this experiment authors presented the volunteers with words triplets while recording their brain activity using an electrode headset. Each test began by presenting the first word, which was always visible and which allowed a particular semantic context to be defined (e.g. HAND). Then the second word was flashed on the screen and was either subliminal or consciously visible. The third word then appeared, and was always consciously visible. It served as a target stimulus to which the subjects had to respond by pressing a button in order to indicate whether it was a real word (e.g. WRIST) or a pronounceable chain of letters which did not correspond to a lexicon word (known as a pseudo-word, such as DRAIE). When the middle word was semantically related to the target word, the subjects responded faster. This is known as a priming effect. This priming effect also appeared in the analysis of brain activities.
When the polysemous word (the middle word of the triplet) was consciously visible, a priming effect was present only when the meaning was consistent with the contextual word presented at the start of each test (Word 1). For example, when the following triplet was presented: HAND-PALM-WRIST, a priming effect of the word WRIST by the word PALM was found, but this effect was absent from triplets such as: HAND-PALM-TREE. Analysis of the electrical activity in the brain confirmed and clarified this result. The absence of priming for the non-contextualised meaning of the polysemous word indicates that this meaning was simply not analysed by the subjects. Conscious semantic processing is therefore strongly influenced by the conscious context.
The core result of this work lies in the discovery that it is the same for the unconscious perception of polysemous words. When the polysemous word (Word 2) was presented in a subliminal manner, the authors found semantic priming effects comparable to those observed under conscious reading conditions: only those meanings of the polysemous word that were consistent with the contextual word were unconsciously analysed.
This series of experiments thus demonstrates that unconscious cognition is not only highly complex, since it can reach the level of semantics (the meaning of words), but also shows that it seems to be extremely sensitive to conscious influences. At every moment, our conscious position influences the nature of the mental operations unconsciously unfolding within us.
"This work, which combines neurosciences with the psycholinguistics of the French language, also illustrates the potential of multidisciplinary scientific approaches," conclude Lionel Naccache and his collaborators

A Cheshire business has initiated a deal involving three family business across Europe to join forces and save Sedgwick & Co., one of the UK's oldest leather manufacturers. The consortium is made up of Knutsford based Abbey England, renowned provider of saddlery and associated goods to the equestrian market, Kilger, a German tannery which has supplied Sedgwick with leather for 20 years, and Crawford Leather Company, a UK and Irish hide and skin processing company with long tradition of delivering bespoke, high quality, heavy leathers into the vegetable tanning trade. Following Sedgwick & Co.'s threatened closure as it was taken into administration on 4th October, the consortium together invested £1.5m to save the business, protecting 60 per cent of the firm's jobs and maintaining its manufacturing strength to protect its current order book.
Abbey England led the consortium, being keen to prevent the company being wound up altogether, given its heavy reliance on the high quality leather that Sedgwick & Co. provides for its own saddlery business.
Challenging trading conditions and declining exchange rates had led to the company being taken into administration last month. However, the combination of expertise and synergy between the three family businesses making up the consortium made them the ideal buyers for the company. Their combined forces not only rescues Sedgwick & Co. but also secures their current and future supply chain.
Abbey England, Kilger and Crawford Hide Company will formally take over the running of Sedgwick & Co. later this month with the day to day running of the business falling to Phil Bevington, works manager and Mark Abraham, production manager.
"It was imperative that we found a way to save what is one of Britains most prestigious leather companies. "
