The Gothic Bible Project constitutes an interdisciplinary approach to investigating instances within the Bible and Gothic fiction (i.e. literature, drama, and film) that demonstrate an interplay between biblical concepts/iconography and the literary Gothic mode, which began with the publication of Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764-5).
From its inception, this literary genre has continued to showcase associations with the Bible, theology, and/or religion; this project seeks to highlight and explore these ongoing relationships. Hosted at the University of Sheffield (United Kingdom), The Gothic Bible Project combines the University's Sheffield Institute for Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies (SIIBS) and The Centre for the History of the Gothic.
The Gothic Bible Project seeks to enrich the study of the Bible and Gothic fiction by examining (1) Gothic fiction (i.e. literature, drama, and film) that exhibit biblical/religious iconography or (2) biblical texts that reveal instances mirroring those associated with the literary Gothic mode.
Additionally, this project desires to incorporate the academic disciplines of theology and philosophy to bolster its investigative approach. The Gothic Bible Project combines these academic fields into a conversation with one another to study the reception and ongoing relevance of biblical concepts/iconography in not only past Gothic fiction but modern Gothic narratives as well. The Gothic Bible Project ultimately aims to extend the reach of Gothic studies into other academic disciplines to promote its interdisciplinary characteristics.
Buffy and the Bible Conference
In July 2019, Gothic Bible researchers, along with researchers from York and Kingston University London, won a collaborative funding bid from WRoCAH and AHRC to host an exciting interdisciplinary conference: Buffy and the Bible. This two day conference brought together, for the first time, scholars from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives to investigate the contribution which religion and the Bible makes to the construction of the Buffyverse and its reception.
One of the most widely analysed texts in contemporary popular culture, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) has given rise to new understandings of the relationship between religion and popular culture. As well as investigating these connections, the conference used Buffy as a case study to interrogate interdisciplinary methodologies and frameworks for studying the relationship between religion and popular culture.
As well as a full programme of exciting talks and presentations, the conference included a sing-a-long screening of the groundbreaking musical episode 'Once More with Feeling' and a keynote presentation from Professor Matthew Pateman. The researchers involved in the organisation were Emma Nagouse, Mary Going, Holly Dan, Kelly Richards, D'Arcy-Reed, Naomi Hetherington, Dana Alex and Ash Darrow.
'Gothic Theology and Morality' panel at the 13th Biennial International Gothic Association (IGA) conference
On 21st July 2017 at the 'IGA: Gothic Traditions and Departures' held at UDLA in Cholula, Mexico, our co-directors Christopher Scott and Mary Going presented papers as part of a Gothic Theology and Morality Panel. Christopher's paper was titled Gothic Theologies: Eden, Religious Tradition, and Ecological Exegesis in Algernon Blackwood's 'The Lost Valley' and 'The Transfer', and Mary Going's paper was titled A New Cain: Examining Matthew Lewis' Wandering Jew as the Archetype for the Gothic Wandering Jew. You can read more about the IGA conference here.
Gothic Bible Conference
On 31st October 2017, SIIBS and Sheffield Gothic hosted Gothic Bible, a one day, interdisciplinary conference. Fittingly taking place on Halloween, and with the venue suitable decorated in Gothic and Halloween attire, Gothic Bible brought together students and academics from Biblical and Gothic studies to share their research. Keynoting the conference was Dr. Naomi Hetherington, a tutor in the Department for Lifelong Learning and member of SIIBS, with her talk '"Cos it's always got to be blood": Sacrifice, Self-harm and the Sacred in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Five.' Gothic Bible also included four panels, contributing a diverse range of papers which explored the following themes: 'Figures of Christ, Satan, and Demons', 'The Bible, Gothic, and Illness', 'National and Religious Identity', and 'The Bible and Gothic in Digital Media and Culture'.

BUENOS AIRES, March 20 (Reuters) - A joint bid by Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile is favourite to win the right to host the 2030 World Cup, the president of the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) said on Wednesday.
The original 2030 bid was by Argentina and Uruguay, with neighbours Paraguay and Chile joining later.
Dominguez was speaking after a meeting with the presidents of the four bidding nations at the UN Conference on South-South Cooperation in Buenos Aires.
The bid is designed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup which took place in Uruguay in 1930.
The four South American nations are expected to face stiff competition, with Morocco, Spain, Portugal and England among countries to express interest in hosting the event.

I made a purchase (via a debit card but without the PIN, so I believe that falls under credit card rules) and upon further investigation I'm pretty sure the site is fake and will shut down without a trace in a month or so.
I could wait the 2 weeks for them to "Ship", and at some point in the future I could dispute the charge, but I'm fairly sure they will be closed by then. If they are closed and the credit card company (visa) will still allow a "Charge-back" I'd be fine, but I'm guessing it's not going to be that easy.
What can I do now (while the store is still collecting charges) to improve my chances of recovering my money if (when) I don't get my product.
Spelling errors, company location, email address, price, "Items sold" indicator moving back and forth over a small range all indicate that I made an expensive mistake.
The only positive is that they accept credit cards which usually makes you safe, but if they were in china or Russia (The address given is obviously a front) then they can ghost and not pay the charge-back so I'm guessing it will be more difficult for me to recover my money.
Any suggestions (aside from beating me up for being so stupid which I've got covered) would be greatly appreciated.
Apart from writing to your bank and notifying the e-commerce site (if it's an aggregator, you can also file a complaint with local authorities. Depending on the amount it may or may not make sense.
It does not fall under credit card protection. You should never ever use a debit card. By the time the debit card came out congress had been bought by the banks and they stripped out all the consumer protection from these things. Which is why Clark Howard calls them piece of trash fake visas/mastercards for decades. IF you bought with a credit card you can just go online and dispute the charge. In this situation it might be possible to get the cash back in your account but I am not sure.
Good luck and I hope you learned your lesson about debit cards.
FYI I have an ATM card from Chase and Schwab so I never run into this problem and still can get cash.
When my credit card is charged, what information does the business recieve?


Okay I'm probably showing my age by mentioning these cute little characters from the 1980s children's animations but what the heck! I recently stumbled across Moomins home accessories whilst trundling through online stores and immediately found myself reminiscing about my childhood - those distant days of watching TV after arriving home from school and before starting the dreaded homework.
Whether you are a fan or not, these beautifully illustrated accessories would make a quirky addition to any home.
We love the moomins. And those mugs have so many designs - all beautiful!

Trump, Democrats clash on boosting mail-in voting during pandemic
The president and Democrats are bickering over how to provide voters with safe and secure access to a ballot.
Author: TEGNA, KEVIN FREKING (COLLEEN LONG and NICHOLAS RICCARDI Associated Press)
Published: 11:02 PM CDT April 4, 2020
Updated: 7:21 PM CDT April 9, 2020
WASHINGTON — While Wisconsin struggled to hold its primary on Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Democrats are bickering over how to provide voters with safe and secure access to a ballot as the coronavirus pandemic rages in the U.S. and threatens to extend into the fall, affecting the general election.
With another economic rescue package in the works, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she wants money to give more voters the chance to cast their ballot by mail, an option that would allow people to vote without the concern over the safety of polling places.
But Trump opposes voting by mail and is leading Republicans in a battle to limit its use, arguing that it would encourage fraud and lead to so many people voting that his party could not win.
But the 2020 presidential election is creeping ever closer, and there are no signs yet of the pandemic abating, nor any word on when Americans on orders to stay home can resume normal life, so lawmakers are trying to figure out how to allow for voting in a world where face-to-face contact causes anxiety at the least and possibly sickness and death.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted on April 6 and 7 claimed most Americans, including a majority of Republicans, want the government to require mail-in ballots for the presidential election because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The debate played out in Wisconsin. It stands apart from other states that have delayed primaries because of the virus, though Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has issued a statewide stay-at-home order.

Evers initially joined Republican leaders in seeking to hold the primary as planned on Tuesday, but he now favors an all-mail election with absentee voting well into May. Republicans maintain that in-person voting should go on as planned and have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block extended absentee voting.
The election features the Democratic presidential primary between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, but a bigger concern for Republicans is a state Supreme Court race that pits a conservative incumbent against a liberal challenger.
In recent weeks, as Democrats nationwide have argued the country must prepare for voting largely by mail, Republicans have objected to or blocked expansions of such voting in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
"It shouldn't be mail-in voting. It should be you go to a booth and you proudly display yourself," Trump told reporters Friday evening. Earlier this week on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends," he claimed the Democrats had a plan "that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."
More than 461,000 people in the United States have tested positive for the virus so far, prompting more than a dozen states to delay their presidential primaries. Health officials are warning that the virus has the potential to return with a second wave during the next flu season, putting voters and poll workers in a dilemma where fulfilling a civic duty means putting their health at greater risk.
Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington already provide registered voters with a ballot in the mail for all their elections, according to a Congressional Research Service report. California and Utah are among the states that give counties the option of mail-in voting.
Proponents say it can improve participation, particularly with voters who have to work on election day, go to school or have mobility issues, such as the elderly or the sick. It could reduce the number of poll workers needed, as well as the long lines that often arise during a presidential election.
"It just makes us more democratic," Pelosi told reporters this week. "It just gives more people the opportunity to vote. So that is something we would like to see."
Trump contends fraud would increase with more mail-in voting, declaring, "I think a lot of people cheat."

A North Carolina congressional election had to be rerun last year because the Republican candidate's campaign had engaged in widespread fraud through mail ballots.
But some Republicans have come to embrace the format, arguing it can be done securely and is cheaper and fairer than in-person elections. Utah, a GOP stronghold, is a recent convert to mail-in voting.
Evidence shows it is Republicans, rather than Democrats, who are most likely to vote by mail, said Michael McDonald, a University of Florida professor who tracks balloting.
State and local governments are responsible for determining whether or how to offer mail-in voting. A few bills introduced during the current session of Congress would require states to allow for early or mail-in voting for federal elections. Others would require states to allow mail-in voting during national emergencies and authorize the funds to help defray the costs.
The $2.2 trillion rescue package that Congress passed included $400 million for states to invest in the next election so they could expand early voting, move to mail-in voting, or increase safety measures at polling sites.
That's a meager investment compared with the $2 billion that the Brennan Center for Justice recently said is needed to ensure the pandemic does not jeopardize a free and fair election.
Riccardi reported from Denver.

Chairman Proud of Landmarks Commission Accomplishments
Chairman Robert B. Tierney
Robert B. Tierney, Chairman of the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Last week CityLand published a Guest Commentary from Steven Spinola, President of REBNY. Robert B. Tierney, Chairman of the Landmarks Preservation Commission submitted this commentary in response.
The Landmarks Law, enacted in 1965, has been responsive to New Yorkers' demand that their historic neighborhoods be preserved. The architecturally and historically distinctive streetscapes found in all five boroughs reflect more than 300 years of growth, and play an integral role in our City's economic well-being.

Proposed Reforms to Improve the Landmarks Preservation Commission
Steven Spinola, President of Real Estate Board of New York
Steven Spinola, President of the Real Estate Board of New York
The Landmarks Law, enacted in 1965 to preserve the city's architectural, historical and cultural resources, contains few standards about what merits designation and few rules governing the process. This has resulted in broad brush designations that are of questionable significance and that are impeding the City's larger planning, economic development, and housing efforts. It is time to amend the Landmarks Law to bring designations more in line with other city policies, provide more timely information on potential designations, and earlier guidance on design options for historic districts.
The Law has enabled the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) to protect a wide range of noteworthy properties, such as Grand Central Terminal and Lever House, as well as a collection of buildings that represent a distinct section of the city, such as Greenwich Village and Brooklyn Heights. The Law has also been used to landmark properties that have no architectural or historical merits, such as vacant lots, parking lots, and significantly-altered buildings. Needless to say, these are not properties of what the Law envisioned protecting when it was established nearly 50 years ago. (read more…)

Landmarks' designation process upheld
Landmarks Preservation Commission • Citywide
First Department ruled that preservation group failed to show its members were affected differently than general public. The City's Landmarks law provides the public with the ability to nominate properties for landmark designation by submitting a Request for Evaluation form. After receiving a request, the Landmarks Preservation Commission's Request for Evaluation Committee, which includes the Landmarks Chair, screens the nomination in order to determine whether additional consideration is appropriate.
A nomination requiring further consideration is sent to each Landmarks Commissioner, along with a photograph of the property, a statement of significance, and the Committee's recommendation. After considering the Commissioners' comments, the Chair then, at his or her discretion, decides whether to recommend that the full Commission calendar a public hearing to formally consider the nomination.

Date posted: 6 Sep 2018Author: STC Production: Lord of the Flies
In the midst of war, a plane evacuating a group of schoolboys from Britain is shot down over a deserted tropical island. With no adult survivors, the boys, ranging in age from six to twelve, are left to fend for and govern themselves.
At first it feels like a game. A conch shell is found, and bestowed the symbolism of a 'talking stick'. A leader is elected in Ralph, who assigns duties to ensure the group's survival. A hunting party is formed, with Jack at its head. But soon Jack is jealous of Ralph's power, and begins to cause divisions amongst the boys, prioritising bloodthirsty pig-hunting over Ralph's more practical shelter building.
The situation escalates when a strange flying shape is mistaken for a beast, and the boys begin to be afraid. Innocent parties like the philosophical Simon or the hapless Piggy will be caught in the crossfire as Jack and his followers grow increasingly savage in their actions. More than just pig's blood will be spilled before long.

I love this Hemingway quote. It calls me to be present in the NOW and to give all of myself to the moment at hand. And not only that, it dares me to fully experience the moment using all of my senses – to be wholly alive.
Life is sweet. Just to be here is a wonderful thing – even in difficult times. The odds were stacked against me to even be born! Yet here I am, and how easy it is to take my life for granted, to forsake what is right in front of me for what was, or what may, or may not be.
I can feel my blood pumping through my veins just saying it! And so I know, it's the perfect word for me in 2017.

Long gone are the days when most people who have locked their keys out of their cars could simply unlock their car doors with a clothes hanger. Car manufactures design car lock to be more resistant to theft than they were in the "good old days." However, while these new safety measures may be great at protecting your locked car from theft, they also make it difficult if not impossible for you to get your own car doors unlocked should you lock the keys the inside accidentally. In addition, with so many newer car doors locking automatically when you simply shut them it makes it easier for people to lock their keys inside than ever before. So just how do you unlock those car doors when you have accidentally locked your keys inside.
Your best money saving option is to always carry a spare key to your car door. That way should you lock your keys inside then you have a backup key to gain entrance into your car. Unfortunately, many people who purchase used cars only are given one set of keys and unless you make a copy of these keys then you are out of luck when it comes to needing a spare.
The best advice we can give to anyone who only has one set of keys to open their car door is to get another set of keys made by a professional locksmith so that you know that the spare key you have will work like it should when and if you need to use it.
What To Do if You Don't Have Key to Your Car Doors?
If you don't have a spare key to your car doors and have locked yourself out of your car, then again a professional locksmith is your best bet in gaining entry back into your car without causing any damage to your doors locking mechanism. You should never try to unlock the doors of a modern car yourself because you can actually cause expensive damage to the locking mechanism which may result in your need a completely new door lock before you can gain access to the inside of your car. This can cost you far more than simply calling a locksmith to unlock the doors for you since car door repairs can cost you hundreds of dollars in some cases.
If you are wondering why you should choose a professional locksmith the answer is simple. A licensed locksmith not only has the right tools and the right training to unlock that car door without damaging your locks, they can also make you spare door key as well to help reduce the chances of you ever being in a lockout situation yourself, thereby saving money in the long run.

Plane 'only just misses Alps' on take-off
Ruth Doherty
12 March 2012, 6:52 am
A Pacific Blue plane flying from Queenstown to Sydney only just cleared the Southern Alps upon take-off, according to a court in New Zealand.
The 54-year-old Kiwi pilot was accused by the Civil Aviation Authority of operating a plane in a careless manner after the take-off in June 2010, according to news.com.au.
The flight was reportedly meant to leave at 4.30pm, but didn't take off until 5.25pm, 20 minutes before twilight.
Flights are not meant to take off from Queenstown Airport less than half an hour before twilight.
Former chief pilot for Air New Zealand Colin Glasgow said the aircraft did not reach the minimum altitude required to ensure the plane did not hit the nearby Southern Alps if an engine failed.
According to news.com.au, he said: "He only just managed to make 9000 feet with both engines.
"As he was leaving when he did he would not be able to land the aircraft before light faded completely."
Mr Glasgow said a "bank angle" warning would have gone off in the cockpit, something, he explained, that most pilots wouldn't see apart from in a simulator.
The pilot's defence said he if he did breach requirements, his actions "fell short of carelessness".
The act of flying a plane carelessly can carry a fine of up to NZ $7000 (£3,650).
Meanwhile, passengers on an Air France flight travelling from Paris to Bogota have spoken of their terror after the plane plummeted towards the Atlantic Ocean and a burning smell filled the cabin.
The AF422 flight from Paris to the Colombian capital made an emergency landing on the island of Terceira in the Azores, and many people were "crying and screaming", according to the BBC.

The stinging defeats of the Bush years (and, stretching back, of the age of Reagan) have induced a nagging self-doubt among many on the center-left. They just don't trust that a majority of people are actually with them--or they've stopped believing that public sympathy will mean much once the right unleashes its culture-war arsenal. But a CBS/New York Times poll showed a majority opposed to the gas tax cut, exit polls showed voters to be largely unfazed by Reverend Wright, and Obama maintained or increased his share of the working-class white vote in Indiana and North Carolina. Which means: blue-collar voters, and voters in general, are smart enough to see through the condescension of politicians selling a policy their own advisers say is bunk or peddling guilt by association.
So, too, it seems with the good voters of Mississippi's first district, who last night elected Democrat Travis Childers with a comfortable eight point margin.

If there's anywhere, an ad like this could have some serious effect, it would be in Mississippi's heavily Republican (and white) first district. But Childers' victory last night can instead be added to a growing cluster of datapoints that suggest we've reached a point of diminished returns for the Rove-style politics that have been so effective these last eight years.

Kyle Shurmur, son of Pat Shurmur, will skip College Gridiron Showcase
By: Dan Benton | 33 minutes ago
Vanderbilt quarterback Kyle Shurmur, who is the son of New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur, will not participate in the College Gridiron Showcase, which is currently being held in Forth Worth, Texas.
The New York Daily News reports that Shurmur privately reached out to the College Gridiron Showcase director when he ultimately made the decision to sit out.
Kyle Shurmur contacted the CGS director and amicably backed out of the five-day, OTA-style showcase, according to sources, in order to rest up and heal after getting knocked around a bit in a 45-38 Texas Bowl loss to Baylor on Dec. 27.
Kyle will be an intriguing name leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft not just because his father is a head coach and talent evaluator, but because the Giants are in need of a young quarterback to eventually take over for Eli Manning.
It's a thought that has not escaped the mind of Pat Shurmur.
"I don't know. I think be hard on his mom," Shurmur told Newsday in late December. "He'd be home a lot."
Although Shurmur quipped, he admitted that he'd allow other talent evaluators to make their own determinations on Kyle as opposed to pushing his son on them.
"I think that's the fairest way to do this thing," Shurmur added. "I've always stayed out of it. I haven't called Vanderbilt one time in his tenure there to talk anything football. Derek Mason and Ludwig and Gdowski, the coaches that have worked with him, they've done an excellent job, and that's his world. That's for him.
"I guide him on little things like body language when there's an incomplete pass, the camera goes right to you. I guide him on things like that, but I think all along, his coaches have done an excellent job of coaching him, but to the process. Now going through the process, I'll have some pointers I can give him."
While Kyle will not participate in the College Gridiron Showcase, he may still participate in the 2019 NFL Combine should he receive an invite. And there's little doubt that his Dad would be right there in the stands watching him (among others).

The FDA's "Draft Guidance on Mobile Medical Applications" is applicable to software products (or "mobile apps") intended for use on mobile platforms that are handheld in nature, such as, for example, the iPhone® and Android® phones. "Mobile medical apps" are defined as software applications that meet the statutory definition of a "device" under Section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and are either used as an accessory to a regulated medical device, or transform a mobile platform into a regulated medical device.
The FDA plans to exercise regulatory oversight over those mobile medical apps that are associated with current device classifications. Thus, the guidance document focuses on mobile apps that perform functions that either have been traditionally considered medical devices, or that affect the performance or functionality of a currently regulated medical device. Examples include mobile apps that are an extension of one or more medical devices by connecting to such device for storing or displaying patient-specific medical data (e.g., an app that displays medical images directly from a PACS server), or mobile apps that allow the user to input patient-specific information and uses algorithms to obtain a patient-specific results or diagnosis (e.g., apps that collect patient-specific data and compute the prognosis of a particular disease).
creating alarms, recommendations or creating new information (data) by analyzing or interpreting medical device data.
The guidance document clarifies that mobile apps that are electronic copies of textbooks, reference materials or teaching aids; that are used to make decisions regarding general health and wellness; or that only automate general office operations, such as billing, are not considered mobile medical apps.
Although this guidance document provides much needed clarification on how the agency intends to regulate mobile medical apps, it still leaves uncertainty in some areas. For example, FDA intends to exercise "enforcement discretion" against those mobile apps that do not meet the definition of a "mobile medical app" but may meet the statutory definition of a "device." This approach will create uncertainty for industry. Moreover, there are other mobile apps that FDA will "monitor" and "determine whether additional or different actions are necessary to protect the public health." Examples of mobile apps that FDA will "monitor" are products that may meet the definition of a "device" and also automate common clinician's diagnostic and treatment tasks, or allow individuals to self-manage their disease. Because the agency has not defined its regulatory position on those apps that it will "monitor," FDA seems to suggest that manufacturers should consider complying with device regulatory requirements for these types of apps. This position will generate further uncertainty and unnecessary expense.
FDA is seeking comments on this draft guidance document.

Elections News Politics
UN, US and UK slam Burma elections
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE and DVB
Burma's announcement of the date for elections this year has been met with strong words by the international community, with the US saying there remains "no level playing field" for the polls.
The date for the country's first elections in 20 years has been set for 7 November, after months of wild speculation and rumours, and even doubt as to whether they would be held this year.
But the UK foreign minister, Jeremy Browne, said that the polls "are set to be held under deeply oppressive conditions designed to perpetuate military rule," adding that the opportunity for prosperity and an open society "has been missed".
November will mark the fifth elections since Burma won independence from British rule in 1948, but only the second since a coup in 1962 heralded the start of military rule.
His comments were echoed by US state department spokesman Philip Crowley, who said that "given the oppressive political environment in Burma…[elections] cannot be inclusive or credible under these circumstances."
The Burmese government has already allocated 166 out of 654 parliamentary seats to military officials, while the constitution stipulates that elected vice presidents must have prior military experience.
The election date, announced by state media on Friday, falls about a week before Aung San Suu Kyi's current term of house arrest is due to expire on 13 November. Her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), has boycotted the election, while 40 parties have so far been approved to run.
Martin Nesirky, spokesperson for UN chief Ban Ki-moon, said that the secretary general had urged Burma "to release all remaining political prisoners without delay so that they can freely participate in the political life of their country".
Burma holds some 2,150 political prisoners in jails across the country. Suu Kyi, whose party won the 1990 elections but were never handed power, has been under house arrest for 15 of the past 20 years.
Ban Ki-moon reportedly renewed his appeal to the ruling junta "to honour their publicly stated commitments to hold inclusive, free and fair elections in order to advance the prospects of peace, democracy and development for Myanmar [Burma]".

Susan Foreman is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The granddaughter and original companion of the First Doctor, she was played by actress Carole Ann Ford from 1963 to 1964, in the show's first season and the first two stories of the second season. Ford reprised the role for the feature-length 20th anniversary episode The Five Doctors (1983) and the 30th anniversary charity special Dimensions in Time (1993). Susan appeared in 10 stories (51 episodes).
Susan is introduced in the first Doctor Who story, An Unearthly Child (1963), with the first episode focusing on her as an unusual teenager with an advanced knowledge of history and science. This catches the attention of her teachers at Coal Hill School, Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill), who follow her home to a junkyard. It is revealed that she and her grandfather, the Doctor (William Hartnell), are exiles from their own people in "another time, another world" and have been travelling through space and time in a machine she named the TARDIS from the acronym "Time and Relative Dimension in Space". As Ian and Barbara have gained this knowledge, the Doctor whisks them away on the TARDIS against their will, and he cannot accurately fly the machine. Through the run of the series, it is learned the Doctor, aided by Susan, stole the TARDIS.
Susan continued to travel with the Doctor and her two teachers until the 1964 serial, The Dalek Invasion of Earth. During the events of that story, Susan falls in love with David Campbell, a young freedom fighter in the 22nd century. However, Susan feels that she has to stay with and take care of her grandfather. The Doctor, realising that Susan is now a grown woman and deserves a future away from him, locks her out of the TARDIS and leaves after a tearful farewell. Ford reprised the role of Susan on television in the 20th anniversary special The Five Doctors (1983), but no mention of David, or what became of him, was made on screen. In the novelisation of the same story, they are still married, while she struggles to age herself by applying make-up. Ford also reprised her role for the 1993 charity special "Dimensions in Time".
In The Curse of Fenric (1989), the Seventh Doctor states that he does not know if he has any family, which may indicate uncertainty of Susan's whereabouts. In 2005's "The End of the World" the Ninth Doctor states that his home world has been destroyed and that he is the last of the Time Lords. Although Susan is not mentioned by name, the Doctor says in "Father's Day" (2005) that his "whole family" died, and in "The Empty Child" Doctor Constantine remarks he has been a father and grandfather, but now he is neither, and the Ninth Doctor replies "I know the feeling." In the 2006 episode "Fear Her" the Tenth Doctor states nonchalantly "I was a Dad once", but does not elaborate on this revelation. In the 2013 episode "The Rings of Akhaten", the Eleventh Doctor mentions that he travelled with his granddaughter to the planet Akhaten. The 2013 episode "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS" contains audio from the scene in An Unearthly Child where Susan explains how she named the TARDIS. A brief glimpse of Susan, played by an unidentified body double, is seen in the opening scene of "The Name of the Doctor", which depicts the Doctor and Susan leaving Gallifrey in a TARDIS.[original research?] In the 2014 episode Death In Heaven Clara Oswald, pretending to be the Doctor, says that the Doctor has been married four times, and has children and grandchildren, now assumed to be dead.

Oxford scientists call into question the idea that the universe�s expansion is accelerating
By Jessica Hall on October 26, 2016 at 1:15 pm
Type Ia supernovae are affectionately called �standard candles� in astronomy. They�re blessedly predictable, so we use them to measure distances.The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics went to three astronomers who used standard candles to reach the same conclusion based on the same data: namely, that the universe is expanding at an ever-accelerating rate. But a team of cosmologists from Oxford have done a new analysis using an expanded library of supernovae, and their results cast doubt on the Nobel-winning conclusions.
When the Oxford team did their own analysis of the universe�s expansion scenarios, their best-case, most-certain outcome was much less confident that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. Instead, the data �lends itself� to the conclusion that the rate of expansion is constant.
Possible models of the expanding universe. Image credit: The Cosmic Perspective / Jeffrey O. Bennett, Megan O. Donahue, Nicholas Schneider and Mark Voit.
It all hinges on the idea of sigmas. Like p-values, sigmas are meant to convey a measure of the confidence scientists have in their data. Higher sigma values, like lower p-values, mean greater confidence. The conclusions on the expansion of our universe that won the Nobel had a five-sigma confidence rating. The Oxford scientists got just three sigma in their most confident model. While that doesn�t just tear down the current standard model of cosmology, it does raise the possibility that we should run a sanity check. If the data that we have isn�t a representative sample of the behavior of our standard candles, then we really need to go check out what other hypotheses we�ve based on that data set.
�An analogous example in this context would be the recent suggestion for a new particle weighing 750 GeV based on data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN,� said lead author Subir Sarkar in a statement. �It initially had even higher significance � 3.9 and 3.4 sigma in December last year � and stimulated over 500 theoretical papers. However, it was announced in August that new data shows that the significance has dropped to less than 1 sigma. It was just a statistical fluctuation, and there is no such particle.�
Sarkar noted that dark energy could be so difficult to find because it doesn�t actually exist. The problem in our hypotheses that we solved using the concept of dark matter might just be an artifact of doing our major cosmological theories in the 1930s, �long before there was any real data.�
Naturally, Sarkar says, a lot of work will be necessary to sell the physics community on these ideas. �Hopefully this will motivate better analyses of cosmological data, as well as inspiring theorists to investigate more nuanced cosmological models,� added Sarkar. �Significant progress will be made when the European Extremely Large Telescope makes observations with an ultrasensitive �laser comb� to directly measure over a 10 to 15-year period whether the expansion rate is indeed accelerating.�


Trivia : Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan is the only one that doesn't have three points. It consists of three overlapping ellipses, giving it six points. It is also the only Sharingan to have inverse colors; while most are red with black designs, Sasuke's seems to be black with red designs.
You guys are ridiculous … you forgot Sasuke trained for 3 years with Orochimaru. Im sure he learned several forbidden techniques and maybe how to sign pacts with more than one animal. Im sure everyone was surprised at Sasuke having ninja cats as the Uchiha clan's friends.
actually you maybe are right, i remember orochimaru summoning that big snake (manda?), there is too that big stone door thing (rashomon?) that thing that look like a enemy from mario world (the stone with spikes that drops from above) when fighting kyuuby.
I cant believe it! Itachi is alive?! so, who's dead in that time?!
btw, where is the hyperventilating boy? fufufu..
It's probally Tsukyomi of sasuke learned from itachi..
see the left bottom pic of sasuke..
his body is transform into crow..
Come on guys i hope you joking about itachi really being alive? Its some kind of jutsu. Someone said this but i think its the same as the 4ths inside naruto. I dont think he can fight or if he can its gonna be one more. Itachi will prob tell Sasuke danzo's secret.
I think itachi has a pact with the birds (hence why he uses crows). So maybe he transferred that ability too.
maybe we're about to learn more secrets and maybe the "Whole truth about Itachi"!!!!!!ITACHI SENSEI PLEASE BE ALIVE!!!
itachi pawned…he was cool…strong…and he is also dead. Let the man rest. He died in a cool way.
i dont want itachi anyone's body ,in that case he will lose his cool .


Country kitchen is a time period that not many perhaps acquainted with. It's principally used to explain an infinite kitchen, that is light, vigorous, breezy and welcoming with massive and spacious areas. It's attainable to put a table inside the kitchen itself and doesn't require a separate room for a similar. It provides an outdated, comforting, farm feeling to it. It's often embellished on the traces of a rural and countryside setting. The most important false impression floating round is that a country kitchen would almost certainly be ugly with pale, boring coloured wallpapers and flimsy storage areas. However that is way from true.
Regardless of whether or not you wish to rework and current kitchen structure or recreate a brand new one from scratch, designing a country life primarily based kitchen might be most rewarding. The precedence right here is to make use of pure fabric and materials. The farming practices of historic locations are printed on to the table mats and sheets. The furniture together with the cabinets, tables, chairs and storage drawers are often fabricated from wooden. The back of the chairs are often carved with intricate particulars of historical patterns. Greatest suited can be pine and oak wooden as they've a rustic look. Moreover, the sink is usually fabricated from chrome steel or granite. This provides an old-world appeal to the performance. The equipment used can have picket handles and metal lids. Due to this fact, it's fairly easy to create and preserve a country kitchen and on the identical time pay tribute to the golden period.


I'm still working day and night on a book based on our Ten-Square sermon series at TDF, and covet your prayers for that. I'd hoped to have it finished by year's end, but I'm going to need a couple of extra weeks. But pray for skill in writing and success in impact.
In the meantime, there were a couple of encouraging articles in the news today, and as the old year ends we need every encouraging article we can find.
I'm more fulfilled. It's made it a lot easier for me on and off the field. I don't have to do all the work. It's all on Him. This season has been different in a good way….
It's amazing. Jesus has given His life. He was kind enough to forgive us of our sins. No one is perfect. I want to keep moving forward and to get stronger every day in my walk with Him.
The other great story is in the Christian Post. Two million people in Tanzania now have access for the first time to the story of Christ's birth in their own language.

Looking for Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers free MLB predictions? MLB betting sees the Cubs taking on the Dodgers on Wednesday, June 27, 2018 at Dodgers Stadium. Cappers Picks provides complimentary expert handicapping picks on all MLB baseball matchups all season long so stay tuned for more FREE daily MLB predictions like this Chicago Los Angeles free pick.
It was a pitchers battle in game one against the Los Angeles Dodgers, however the Cubs could not manage to get runners on base. Which resulted in their road losing streak continuing in Los Angeles. Now the Cubs must break this streak or else the Dodgers might after take the top spot in the National League.
On the mound for the Cubs will be Kyle Hendricks who walked four on Friday in Cincinnati, allowing four earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in a loss. The righty has faced the Dodgers three times in his career, going 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA. Hendricks is 2-2 with a 4.78 ERA on the road this year.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have really turned their season around and are now back into the mix of being one of the best teams in the National League. A clean sweep of the Chicago Cubs might just earn them that spot as the starting rotation for Los Angeles is back in their full swing.
On the mound for the Dodgers will be Alex Wood who has struggled through the first half, but he contained the Mets until a sixth-inning home run by Jose Bautista. More importantly, Wood's postgame comments finally turned positive and his confidence could be returning.
Cubs are 0-6 in their last 6 road games.
Cubs are 0-5 in their last 5 overall.
Dodgers are 5-1 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
Dodgers are 9-2 in their last 11 during game 3 of a series.
The Chicago Cubs are simple in a bad road streak right now as I see them still in the hole of shame.
Los Angeles is back to their winning ways again as the Dodgers are staying hot.

The Parties on the Eve of the 2016 Election: Two Coalitions, Moving Further Apart
1. The changing composition of the political parties
Over the past quarter-century, the demographic profile of the U.S. has been changing: The country has become more racially and ethnically diverse, less likely to be affiliated with a religion, better educated and older. National demographic trends coupled with different patterns of party affiliation among demographic groups have fundamentally changed the makeup of the Republican and Democratic parties.
Overall, non-Hispanic whites now make 70% of all registered voters, down from 84% in 1992. The share of Hispanic voters has nearly doubled over this period: From 5% in 1992 to 9% today. The share describing their race as mixed race or "other" also has grown from 1% to 5%. Since 1992, the share of all voters who are black has edged up slightly from 10% to 12%.
The country's growing racial and ethnic diversity has changed the composition of both the Republican and Democratic parties, but the impact has been much more pronounced among Democrats and Democratic leaners.
In 1992, 76% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters were white, while 17% were black and just 6% were Hispanic. In surveys conducted thus far in 2016, the profile of Democratic voters has grown much more diverse: 57% are white, 21% are black, 12% are Hispanic, 3% are Asian and 5% describe themselves as mixed race or describe their race as "other."
The composition of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters has also grown somewhat more diverse over the last 24 years, though the pace of change lags behind that of the country overall and the party remains overwhelmingly white. In 1992, 93% of Republican voters were white; that share has declined somewhat to 86% today. The share of Hispanic voters in the GOP has edged up from 3% to 6%. There has been no increase in the share of Republicans who are black; blacks made up 2% of all Republican voters in 1992 and make the same share of all GOP registered voters today.
The population is growing older due to longer life expectancy, the graying of the large Baby Boom generation, and a decline in birth rates since the Baby Boom. In 1992, the median age of all registered voters was 46; today the median age has risen to 50.
In 1992, the Republican Party was made up of somewhat younger voters than the Democratic Party. However, as the country has aged over the past 24 years, there has been a dramatic shift in the composition of the two coalitions, which has resulted in Republican and Republican-leaning voters now being a significantly older cohort than Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters.
In surveys conducted thus far in 2016, 58% of Republican voters are age 50 and older, compared with far fewer (41%) who are under age 50. This marks a flip of the party's age composition from 1992 when 61% of all GOP voters were under age 50 and just 38% were 50 and older.
The impact of an aging population has been less pronounced among Democratic and Democratic leaners. Today, 51% of Democratic voters today are under age 50, while 48% are 50 and older. In 1992, 57% were under age 50, compared with 42% who were age 50 and older.
In 1992, the median age of Republican voters was 46, while the median age of Democratic voters was 47. Today, the median age of Republican voters has increased six years, to age 52, while the median age of Democratic voters has increased one year, to 48.
Over the past quarter-century, registered voters in the U.S. have become better educated. In 1992, half of voters had no college experience; today that share has fallen to 33%. At the same time, the share of voters with some college experience has risen from 26% to 33% and the share with at least a four-year college degree has grown from 23% to 33%.
As the country has become better educated, the education profiles of the two parties have flipped: In 1992, Republican voters were much better educated than Democratic voters; today, Democrats are somewhat better educated than Republicans.
Among Republican voters, the share with a college degree has increased from 28% in 1992 to 31% in 2016; the share with some college experience, but no degree, has also grown from 28% to 35%. There has been a corresponding decline in the share with no college experience over this period (from 45% to 34%).
There has been a sharper increase among Democratic than Republican registered voters in the share who have at least a college degree. Overall, 37% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters have a college degree today, up 16 points from 1992 (21%), and higher than the 31% of Republican voters who are college educated. The share of Democrats and Democratic leaners with some college experience has increased from 25% to 31%. Those with no college experience – who made up a 55%-majority of Democratic voters in 1992 – now make up about a third of all Democratic registered voters (32%).
In 1992, a 63%-majority of all registered voters were whites without a college degree. Due to growing diversity and rising levels of education, the share of all voters who are non-college whites has fallen dramatically over the last 24 years, to 45% in 2016 surveys.
While the share of all voters who are non-college whites has fallen 18 points, the share who are whites with a college degree has edged up from 21% in 1992 to 25% today.
Non-whites now make up a larger share of all voters than they did in 1992 and this increase has occurred among both non-whites with a college degree (from 3% of all registered voters in 1992 to 8% in 2016) and non-whites without a college degree (from 13% to 21%).
The decline in the share of whites without a college degree has been far more pronounced within the Democratic than Republican Party. Non-college whites made up 59% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters in 1992. Today, only about a third (32%) of Democratic voters are non-college whites.
Among Republicans, the decline has been more modest: 58% of all GOP voters today are non-college whites, which is a somewhat smaller majority than in 1992 (67%). As a result of these differential rates of change, the gap between the share of non-college whites in the Republican Party and Democratic Party has increased significantly from eight points in 1992 to 26 points today.
The country's religious landscape also has been shifting over the past few decades. One of the most fundamental changes has been the increase in the share of voters who do not affiliate with a religion (from 8% in 1996 to 21% in 2016).
The increase in the share of voters who do not identify with a religious group is occurring faster within the Democratic than Republican Party, moving the religious profiles of the two coalitions further apart from one another.
In 2016, nearly three-in-ten (29%) Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters are religiously unaffiliated – describing themselves as atheist, agnostic or "nothing in particular" – up from just 10% in 1996. Overall, 11% of Democratic voters are white mainline Protestants, 10% are white Catholics and 8% are white evangelical Protestants; all three of these groups make up much smaller shares of all Democratic voters than they did in 1996. Black Protestants make up 15% of all Democratic voters and Hispanic Catholics account for 6%; there has been no decline in the shares of these two groups.
Shifts in the composition of the Republican Party have been more modest and GOP voters are now even more likely than Democratic voters to affiliate with a religion than they were 20 years ago. About a third (35%) of Republican voters are white evangelical Protestants, 18% are white Catholics, 17% are white mainline Protestants and 12% are religiously unaffiliated. The share of GOP voters that is unaffiliated has risen six points since 1996. There has been little change in the share of all GOP voters who are white evangelical Protestants or white Catholics over the past two decades, but the share who are white mainline Protestants has declined 12 points.

Dual sport and destinations
Dec 2, 12 8:27 PM
Today, like many others on this strange trip, will be total in my memory, mile by mile and for some of it corner by corner. Whooping! in my helmet almost gave me a sore throat. Today was a short day to Canyon de Chelly, only 164 miles, dirt included, so the satisfaction of every yard had plenty of space to be lived and re-lived as it was happening.
The route took Indian Service Road 13, maybe twenty miles from Farmington into the Navajo Reserve to Lukachukai, then ISR 12, then ISR 64. The map shows half of 13 as unpaved (my GPS couldn't even find it until we were on top of it) but when we got that far it had been newly paved, unfortunately. If it had still been unpaved, that section would have been maybe too interesting, as the new sign where the 'plunge' happens says it's 14% grade, then a ten mile stretch out of the mountains. See below.
The desolate ride through the desert at first takes you past Ship Rock, about four miles off the road. The desert sand is golden at this point. Taking the dirt road through this flat, surreal colour to the Rock was a fine start to the day. This picture doesn't capture it because I'm using a barely adequate camera, the video does better. Here's Lucinda at the base.
Here's a short section of video. It's hard to describe how it felt to be in the middle of nothing for many miles around, except this rock and an escarpment beside it, and riding to it, alone. This is one reason I'm doing this – to have these experiences in as many places as I can find.
Then, later, still on 13 and beside the road, odd formations began to appear, usually with a reservation home or two in near sight.
Abruptly, the desert stopped and the mountains started. Within twenty minutes we were above the snow line. I thought of home.
The twisties were open on the way up and tight on the way down.
Further down, snow gone, it was OK to put her on the kickstand without a fall over and take a pic. Look at the tree angle directly away from the camera.
And then at the bottom of the mountain, it started doing this
Then back to the plains. Pic looks back over the town of Lukachukai.
Gas and a meal at the first Navajo town we've passed on the reserve. Meal = map, minitacos, milk.
Then, Canyon de Chelly. I'm stumped here because arriving at 3:00 the light was dull behind gathering clouds, and every minute that passed made for worse pics. So you have to imagine. TH had told me this was a must and it was. I'll write about it another time, but I think the point is that de Chelly is an enormous no-gaps artifact combining a near perfect view of the physical living experiences of a tribe, the Anasazi, condensed in an oasis of creative opportunity, and the beyond belief structure of the place, all of which you can see. It's a huge, and with some visually informed imagination, a near complete story in one shot, and that didn't come by ever, I didn't think. Enough on this, words don't do it. TH didn't even try hard, and he's good with them. I actually don't have one good shot compared to all the one's you've seen, but here's one of a cliff home.
The land they farmed and lived on, surrounded by the huge enclosing walls made me want to live it
So we stayed until the sun went down
Until dark
Then on to Chinle.
Dec 1, 12 10:50 PM
First, for the riders, a little suspension history.
Back in BC, the rear Continental air shock was swapped for Ohlins. The front forks were swapped for WP 48mm's, plus a new big lower clamp and (in Atlanta) the springs were swapped for progressives. I detoured my route specifically to see Bobby at BMW Atlanta, owner of two (!) HP2s and perhaps the most respected mind, according to ADV, on the HP2 subject in the States. He de-bugged the hardware and gave me adjustment instructions to think about. The real work had to be done by riding it, obviously.
So I've been trying to dial it in. Even by Texas things were still not close, with a dead front end feel, and me pretty much blaming myself for not showing the confidence needed since my injury in the spring. But I also knew that I was having to make serious allowances, airing down to an extreme, shedding all weight, picking off-topic lines, jacking rear preload, whatever, to get the front to bite. But really I know nothing and needed help, bad. So I called Bobby again a few days ago with tales of woe. We ran through everything. Finally he left me with two things to check and one thing to change, patiently walking me through the theory, and I did as instructed.
As I rolled into Farmington yesterday there were dirt roads, ungated, leading off into the hills that looked perfect. As in sand. My recent, but not in the past, enemy.
Today, despite the promise of what's just a day or two ahead, down the road, I took the day off to ride the roads I'd seen coming in. And things couldn't have been better. Fixed – I have a front wheel again.
The roads I picked were packed and, on the larger ones to the BP oil/gas works all around here, graded flat, like snow, with berms off to the sides. But sand. My nerves were a bit tattered after something as straightforward as the Oldore sand washes making me feel a bit of an idiot. Off we went. And guess what, the ride was Velcro, as it should be. It was the rear rebound causing the problem with the front, exactly as Bobby said.
Softer graded sand after an hour or so and still as easy as pavement on this very pretty road in the hills
So we went sightseeing. Over this bridge
And beside this bridge – ATV tracks led me out on a scenic river bed and back to it. I was expecting quicksand to China.
Beside some deep cuts
Rio Arriba, then northwest
Nov 30, 12 8:07 PM
You may wonder why this blog has no coverage of the cities I pass through. Several reasons.
I don't like spending time in them on a bike – when I have to pass through, as a stop over, or to get Lucinda looked at, I just want to get back into the country.
Traffic experiences have been horrible. Atlanta was beyond belief.
They're dangerous to ride in.
I tried. Ottawa, Montreal, Savanna, Atlanta, Austin. I don't need cities.
I live in the best city in the world.
All this might change, but for now I just follow my gut.
So off we go, north, leaving Santa Fe without even a pic. Oh well.
And Lucinda is gas station centric and they're better in the country. Our entire social circle is/are gas station employees. So we have brunch ($20 in gas for her, she likes a big meal to start the day, it sees her through until mid-afternoon) at the first one that looks right.
Very shortly, headed due north towards Chama, we run beside the Rio Arriba
There's something magnetic about alluvial plains. Primitive food source, where we could reliably stalk and spear/stone game to drag home to our significant other.
We ran by coloured bluffs. Blue
And gold
And back onto the high plains, about 8000′, spotted with failed roadside ventures
Then the scenery, at about Tierra Amarilla, changed completely to agricultural land and stayed that way until Farmington. Nothing large scale like we'd seen in the south, midwest or even eastern Washington. No operation was bigger than a family could handle I'm guessing. Around Farmington, farms were subsistence scale.
We pulled in for a late lunch before Chama and puppies!
As we approached Dulce things became greyer. In the age of search I'll keep most negatives to myself, but this was not a happy part of the world. At least not the day I was there. Frankly it was bleak.
The dam and lake above the town
Then, for 50 miles of great riding through open fast twisties we gradually descended into Farmington, but the grey never lifted. Which is another story.
Track: El Paso to Santa Fe
Jemez
Going out to check the bike as soon as I wake is the normal routine. The temperature has dropped again. It's 22F, nearly -6C. This is a shame because I've another reasonably long day ahead. So I decide I'll leave as soon as it's 0C, measured by smoke/no smoke and go back in to call DT to chat about tires, etc.
It's about 150 miles to Jemez before another 125 to Santa Fe and we cross more beautiful desert on our way to Cuba, our first gas stop, passing more sandstone escarpments.
And pass horses and mules occasionally. I'm not sure if they're wild or not. No fences, so maybe wild.
The escarpments get bigger.
Then we're into the hills and shortly before entering the Jemez canyon, the town of Jemez. This all you get because the town is on the other side of the street and there's a big wooden sign that says:
No photographs
No video cameras
No cassette recorders (I'll have to ask Siri, my new BFF, if she knows what this is)
No sketching
It's an Indian reservation and old, dense and lived in, like a favorite pair of shoes. Washing hangs out to dry across the streets, dogs sit in the sun, kids totter on bent bikes, homes are randomly aligned, power cables are haphazardly supported, bright red peppers hang on strings everywhere. Gorgeous. But no pictures.
Then into the canyon
And down to the river
The road is twisty and leads to the ruins of an old mission church. Built in 1621 and designed by a Franciscan priest, it burned down in 1623.
There's a point on the road after the town where hot springs rush up and flow under and across the road and join the river above these falls
Then the unexpected perfect riding thing happened and we were in twisties for miles, gaining altitude until at 9000′ the trees opened up and a high altitude grassland plain appeared, the Valles Caldera. It was one of those moments when I Whoop! in my helmet.
Then after topping out, the road descended through very tight twisties. It was several degrees below 0 and I was concerned about tire temperature but we let her rip a bit.
Then a special diversion, to the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Much larger than I'd imagined, there are over 10,000 employees on a campus at the edge of the forest in pristine buildings, pouring out to their cars; I'd arrived at 5:00. I was passed through security without any questions and headed down the main drag, brilliantly named Bikini Atoll. That's the spirit guys!
On the highest point of the campus was a dominant building, where all the very cool ideas are cooked up no doubt.
Then on to Santa Fe, as the sun set.
Plains of Agustin
The temperature's been dropping daily and we're off to a cold start to the Cibola Forests. About 50 miles from Socorro, it's a climb up and over hills to the Plains of Agustin (correct spelling) which is vast and beautiful, 50 miles by 20 at 7000′. Antelope, hare/rabbit things, very bloody cold and flat. Smack in the middle of this enormous plain is the Very Large Array.
There were also some dirt roads.
After leaving the Plains it's through more hills and into the Cibola forests. Not so much a forest, but trees where there have been none for days.
Looking back towards the Plains.
And into Pie Town. More a tiny village and named after the apple pies they made in the 20's. Yup, another oddball name, like Truth Or Consequences, NM. The cafe where they originally made the pies still sells them as they were.
Down the road a bit, a more typical building. There's no-one to be seen. As usual.
And then a 100 miles down, past a sandstone escarpment to San Raphael and Grant's.
Ride notes: Stop and add insulation and winter gloves when I first need them, not later.
Today was about mileage. Mileage days are short on photo's.
The land surrounding El Paso is surprisingly agricultural, although small scale. Driving a small road out past Las Cruces took us through orchards of old trees.
Then the road wound up over a high ridge and the desert was clear and laid out below hugely. You could see the 100 miles past White Sands to Alamogordo. Nowhere so far has a view been so distant. Looking southeast.
And looking northeast.
Finally, after yesterday's epic, White Sands. The sand is gypsum, laid down in a salty, tropical sea 275 million years ago. It doesn't blow away because the water table, incredibly, is only three feet below the surface and the moisture binds it. The dunes are up to 60 feet high. But I arrived after Thanksgiving weekend and they were covered in footprints as far as the eye could see. Not really photo worthy. But I found a section of road that wound through, unspoiled. Very white.
Later, through a lava field.
And after 305 miles, back to the Rio Grande, which we haven't seen since Big Bend, and is now running north/south, just before the sun goes down.
Ride notes: Why is my GPS dimming when I put it in the power mount? My watch strap is blowing out, add to shopping list.
Nov 25, 12 8:34 AM
The plan was to visit Hueco Tanks (after an email reminder from TJ) then reverse back to El Paso and head north to White Sands. So far the ride has been completely free of non weather related screw-ups. Today we got two fails.
Arriving at Hueco Tanks we got stopped by a gate and a friendly Parks official. The park, because of the petroglyphs, is protected. The visitor limit at any one time is 70 apparently. She said there were another 30 waiting in the camp site and my chances of getting in today were about zero.
So we took a pic under a tree instead.
So after loosing a couple of hours we headed off to White Sands. According to my GPS mapping software there's a short cut bypassing highway 70. So off we went. The first thing we see are these, about 5 miles apart.
But for some reason the wording doesn't make sense, because it's a road, for vehicles. Part of me says the signs mean no vehicles allowed off the road. But then we see the tank crossing signs and they're clearly either on the road or off the road and I'm confused. In denial actually. And there's trouble in the distance.
But we go quickly past the radar buildings and past a series of testing ranges. Clearly we're off track.
And sure enough we come to a military checkpoint. A soldier asks why I ignored the signs and I stumble through the poor-signage-wording excuse. Somehow he was OK with that. Rather than getting bent out of shape at my bullshit he told me nicely to go back the way I came. I thought better of taking a picture of the situation. So it was back to El Paso and a quick re-planning session.


I kinda like the diet, especially the cheat day. I don't have a lot of problems coping with the cravings but they are clearly there.
Basically no weight loss - gaining and losing the same weight in the week. Not a real problem, I am slightly overweight - I just don't want to gain more weight.
I am eating the same stuff almost daily - salad / fish / meat / beans / eggs / spinach and vegetables. No problem for me and it enables me to tweak the diet if needed. I started to include wine to stop cravings and add more variety, but I don't think that helps a lot. So now I restrict intake to only one bottle of wine per week - starting on cheat day until it is empty.
Success stories on the diet are probably from folks who were eating a lot of carbs - if you already restricted your carb intake I don't think this diet will help you unless you like the idea of a cheat day or/and the experiment.

If … critics 'd describe ruling party as a failure – Maku
Posted on April 19, 2013 Author Agency Reporter	Comment(0)
The Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, on Thursday described the Good Governance Tour as an effective way of assessing and publicising dividends of democracy.
Maku, accompanied by the minister of Special Duties, Alhaji Kabiru Tanimu, made the remark in Argungu, while inspecting the Argungu bye-pass.
He said the tour would enable the media to inform the public the effort of the Federal Government in providing amenities to the people.
He said that without the tour, critics would describe the ruling party as a failure.
Maku said that 48 projects executed by the state and Federal Government were expected to be inspected and inaugurated during the tour.
Some of the projects already inspected by the minister included the N40 million Agricultural One-Stop-Center and Adamu Augie College of Education, Argungu.

CHICO — A 24-year-old woman is in Butte County Jail on a charge that she stabbed a man just after midnight this morning in Chico.
A Chico police press release says the male victim was walking in an alley that runs parallel to Mangrove Avenue, north of Palmetto Avenue, when he was confronted by a female.
She allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed him before she got on a bicycle and rode away.
Arriving officers searched the area and discovered a suspect who matched the description of the stabber. According to the police, witnesses and the victim allegedly identified the suspect, who was identified as Talara M. Cavalli, who is described as a transient.
After being taken into custody Cavalli reportedly led police to the knife which she had allegedly discarded after the incident.
She was booked into jail on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, the knife, and a charge of violation of probation.
