Furthermore and So Forth | Adjusting to the retiree life and so far, it's pretty darned good.
Recently, John and I took a little trip to Victoria, Canada. It's a pretty easy jaunt from here: an hour's drive to Port Angeles followed by a ninety-minute ferry ride and voila, you're on foreign soil. We both like the city a lot, yet Victoria itself wasn't the reason for our visit. This time, we traveled across the pond in order to ride the Galloping Goose Regional Trail.
A few months ago, we bought ourselves new electric-assist bicycles. While John was always a strong bicycle rider who could handle nearly any terrain, I, on the other hand, turned into a quivering, panting, wheezing crybaby at the mere hint of an approaching hill. Despite John's encouragement — "Put it in a low gear and keep pedaling, KEEP PEDALING!" — I would almost immediately jump off the bike and trudge the damn thing to the top, grimacing all the way.
So as a retirement present to myself (and indirectly to John, who would no longer have to listen to me gripe about inclines), I started shopping online for an e-bike. The step-through (girl's) bike I chose also came in a step-over (boy's) model and when I showed it to John, I could see the longing in his eyes. It didn't take much to convince him to order an e-bike for himself, too.
We've ridden a few trails in Washington and kind of last minute decided to take the bikes to Vancouver Island to ride the 55-kilometer (which sounds so much more impressive than 34-mile) Galloping Goose. I rented an Airbnb about fifteen minutes from downtown Victoria, booked the ferry and off we went.
"Yes, we are," John replied.
"Hang on a second, I have something for your wife," she said, and rushed back to her parked truck. Uh-oh, I thought, it's probably a sales scheme or maybe a political flyer of some sort. Instead, she handed me a blue faceted piece of glass.
Before I could spit out that I already know how nice Canadians are, she turned and sauntered away towards the store.
And yes, being an American suspicious of seemingly random acts of kindness, I've been waiting for that blue piece of glass to blow up or maybe ooze toxic goo. It's been well over two weeks now, though, and nothing has happened.
As it is with all Airbnb rentals, the owners of our place, Gary and Denise, had a page on their site explaining why they decided to become Airbnb hosts. It was a charming little story about how they visited Europe for their 20th anniversary and found they enjoyed staying in someone's home much more than a hotel, so they wanted to come back and do the same for travelers to their neck of the woods. The story included a photo of the couple holding hands, smiling sweetly.
Gary greeted us when we arrived and was as friendly and helpful as we'd expected. We knew Gary and Denise had gardens on their property, as well as bee hives, and during our four-night stay we saw Gary several times tending to both. We often chatted with him and each time was as pleasant as the last. He talked about bike rides he and Denise have taken, suggested nearby restaurants he and Denise enjoy, explained how he built the cottage we were renting after Denise designed it, things like that.
However, during the entire four days, we never once saw Denise.
Oh we saw her car, but although Gary's truck would come and go — he was a Snap-On Tools salesman — Denise's vehicle stayed put. And the front blinds of the house were always closed. Always. We started thinking about Norman Bates (who wouldn't?) and decided Gary had killed Denise and her body was inside the house positioned in a rocking chair a la Mother Bates, perhaps, or on the couch where Gary could sit and watch television with it.
There was one window in the back of their house towards which we could crane our necks at night and peer inside from our cottage yet, alas, never once did we see anything more than a bit of furniture. Could it be Denise was buried in the back yard, maybe under the bee hives? Shades of "Rear Window" abounded but unlike Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, we weren't able to crack the case before it was time for us to leave.
The morning of our departure, we chatted it up with Gary again as we were packing the car. It was a Saturday, and he said he was thinking about mowing the yard that afternoon. I had to bite my tongue not to ask what Denise had planned for her day. Instead, I decided to cast my suspicions aside and be nice. Like the blue faceted glass lady was nice. Heck, like all Canadians are nice.
I appreciate his zeal, if only because it means I don't have to make the monthly trek to Costco myself. However, I am the one who usually does the weekly grocery shopping since John is often busy in his gardens. It's not that I hate the chore; it's just something I try to spend as little time doing as possible. Fortunately, I know the local Kroger affiliate like the back of my hand. My plan, always, is to walk my cart briskly through the store — head down to avoid the dreaded stop-and-chat with fellow shoppers — and not linger one single second longer than is necessary to get the job done.
Yesterday was no different, except for the smoke. We're surrounded on three sides by areas experiencing rampant wildfires: British Columbia to our north, Oregon and California to our south and our own state of Washington east of the Cascades. Over the past couple weeks, we've had only two clear-ish days and even those were slightly hazy. Yesterday was the worst, with the wind blowing so much BC smoke down upon us, we could taste it.
While I'm grateful we're not facing the flames firsthand like so many people have had to do, the smoke had me in a real funk when I arrived at the store. I tossed groceries into my cart at record speed, eager to get back to our house where we were keeping the windows closed as barricades to the foul air. Miraculously, I walked directly to a check-out lane with no line and was able to zip right through. I was on my way, next stop home sweet home.
Until, just a few feet from the exit, I found myself stuck behind a man and his 20-something-year-old intellectually disabled son. They were parking their cart at the carousel inside the store, and the man was letting his son decide which bag of groceries he'd like to carry to the car. After some consideration, the son pointed to the bag his father should carry and then picked up the other one.
"Whoa, that's HEAVY!" he declared with unbridled delight.
"Hi," I replied, and the three of us filed out the door, father and son in the lead.
Suddenly, the father stopped and told his son that I was his neighbor. It kind of startled me. I knew we didn't live near one another — our house is in a private community and surely I would have recognized at least one of them. The son looked at me shyly, no doubt thinking his father must be mistaken, when the man asked if I live in Port Townsend.
"So see? She is our neighbor," he said, eliciting yet another bashful grin from his boy before they sauntered on ahead of me. I could hear the man beginning to explain how we live in a small town and could tell where he'd go from there — that we're all neighbors, to some degree.
I had already stopped at my car and after loading my grocery bags into it, I caught one last glimpse of the duo just as the son put his hand on his dad's back and gave it a tender little scratch.
Despite the smoke, I couldn't help but smile all the way home.
As it turns out, my boarding pass for the Social Security train has been waylaid, held hostage until I meet with a real, live Social Security Administration person to prove I am indeed who I claim to be. According to Carlos in the Albuquerque office, who I spoke with after receiving a letter from the SSA, I need to take my photo ID to the appointment and then I can be on my merry way.
Why I'm one of the unlucky few (or many?) who are being required to do this is a mystery. When John retired, we applied for his benefit online without a hitch. I went through the same motions when my turn rolled around, but no. I get a letter instead, instructing me to call Carlos for the annoying news.
To top it off, the closest regional SSA office is in Silverdale, an hour's drive. It's a godforsaken city, to boot, a confusing concrete maze of strip shopping centers harboring every fast food joint, every big box store, every chain restaurant and chain retail store possibly on earth. One of our friends refers to it as "Silverhell." Another dubs it "Consumerdale." Either name is spot on.
Long ago, I set up my account on the Social Security website and have faithfully updated my password when required. Since then, the SSA has made sign-in more secure by using a two-step method: Once you enter your user name and password, the site sends a temporary numerical code to either your mobile device or email. You have ten minutes to plug in the number on the sign-in page. I've obediently done so every time, naively believing the process proved who I am.
I was equally compliant in my online application for benefits. Maybe that was my problem; I was being too meek. Perhaps a different approach would have garnered a more satisfactory result.
Oh, you want me to type in this information? This rule applies to me? Okay, bucko, you asked for it — I'm headed straight to Uncle Donald, and I'm not talking about the duck, if you get my gist. And believe you me, he doesn't like to be interrupted while he's tweeting. Or in the tanning booth. Or on the golf course. Or tweeting again. You don't want to be the subject of one of his misspelled, nonsensical rants, correct? No, of course you don't, so start depositing that monthly "entitlement" into my bank account pronto or, as Uncle likes to say, YOU'RE FIRED.
Probably that wouldn't work either.
Not only had we not yet visited a single brick and mortar store, we hadn't done the Google nor initiated an Amazon search when suddenly every website we viewed lit up with mattress ads.
It didn't take long to figure out what had happened. We live in a small house and during the day our iPad sits on the kitchen counter, almost always turned on, with that innocent look on its face. Listening.
I'm just crazy about the Social Security Administration, aren't you? They are without a doubt the finest people — in the finest administration! — bar none. And you know who I especially respect and admire? Carlos. He's a prince among men, he truly is. Heck, I'd do anything for that guy. In fact, I'm going to make a special trip to the Silverdale SSA office simply because I bet it'll make him happy.
Plus, it will be such an honor to meet my local Social Security representative face-to-face! There's no doubt in my mind I'll be speaking with an outstanding individual, someone who's highly intelligent but also kind and caring. I can't wait!
Hello. Haven't seen you in a while. How've you been? Good? Nice to hear it. I can't believe more than three years have passed since we last spoke, can you? Time goes by so fast. What have you been up to?
Oh, me? Well thanks for asking. In a moment of weakness, the non-profit organization where I'd been volunteering hired me part-time in the housing group, meaning I was working with homeless folks — or people at risk of becoming homeless — helping them with rentals using various state grants. It's rewarding work. Not so much monetarily, since non-profits by design don't pay worth a damn, but when a formerly homeless family is able to move into an apartment due to the efforts you've made on their behalf, it's a happy day. The resulting hugs are nice, too.
some commenters called it my "second retirement." One even said so in such an accusatory way, he sounded downright pissed.
See, the thing is, I did indeed leave an extremely full-time job when John and I sold our farm and moved up here to Washington state. Never once did we think of it as retirement, however, and in fact John snagged a part-time job only a few months after our relocation. The fact that I lingered in unemployed limbo for two years wasn't entirely my doing — I wanted a job, as well. Yet in this small town, with a work history limited to either the legal field or farming (neither of which I had a desire to resume) local employers were less than enthusiastic about hiring me. Thus the delay in gainful employment, yet during that time I never felt fully retired.
That has changed. In spades. This is the real, 100% bona fide it's-time-to-jump-on-the-Social-Security-train thing. I do plan to go back to my volunteer gig at the same non-profit but not until the glorious summer months have passed, and only then on an even more part-timey schedule than in my employed years.
Now, I do realize retirement comes with inherent risks, not the least of which is sudden onset irreversible brain atrophy, or as behavioral health professionals refer to it, The Use it or Lose It Syndrome. After all, a person needs to keep the synapses firing for fear of them fizzling out altogether, right? John has been retired over a year and hopes his online chess games will keep him sharp. I've been addicted to New York Times crossword puzzles for quite a while already and vow to continue solving them daily, with gusto.
Still, something happened just last night that had me a little concerned about post-retirement mental acuity. As we were getting ready for bed, I noticed the toilet paper in John's bathroom had unrolled to the point of nearly touching the floor. Being the patient, understanding and non-controlling spouse I pride myself to be, I mentioned it to him. As in, Hey, roll that back up, would ya?
Maybe as a form of retaliation, or simply an honest attempt to right a wrong, John began to explain how I need to be more careful when I get a new roll started. That if I don't pull the initial sheets simultaneously — our toilet paper of choice is 2-ply — one of the sheets will likely go all akimbo. Become misaligned. Out of sync with the intended second ply, never again to be ripped off the roll in tandem with its twin. I listened closely as the gravity of the situation sunk in.
Until it hit me what this most serious discussion was indeed about. After falling into hysterical laughter that lasted long after my slightly perturbed husband turned off the light, I started to wonder whether online chess and NYT crosswords would be sufficient to stave off what was so quickly showing itself as the inevitable.
Yet is it really that dreadful an omen when toilet paper sheet calibration is considered highbrow commentary? Perhaps not. It's like the old adage: One man's analysis of bathroom tissue alignment is another man's dissertation on the theory of quantum mechanics. Same/same.
I think we're going to be fine.
The time had come. Like conjoined twins who share the same heart, on the day of separation surgery one of us would have to be sacrificed in order for the other to live a normal existence. Since I'm the larger of the two, I got to make the decision as to who goes, who stays. And because I'm writing this story, you already know which choice I made.
Yes, I'm still here. My dear cataract, however, the one with whom I'd shared my life lo these many years, is no more. Rest its weary, opaque soul.
It took maybe five minutes — enough time for one and one-half Christmas songs to be piped into the operating room — for the ophthalmologist to sound-wave my aged, cloudy, natural lens into a million pieces, vacuum it away like so many dust bunnies and cram in a clear, artificial lens in its stead. It was almost a letdown, really, after the bizarre business of cataract removal pre-op.
And hoo boy, is it ever a business. An assembly line, actually. It started when the doctor's assistant led me into a large room to join many other patients, all of them in progressively different stages of preparation. I was instructed to put my personal belongings in one of the lockers lining the back wall, after which the assistant pinned the locker key onto my shirt as if I were a grade-schooler who can't be trusted keeping track of her mittens.
She sat me down, slapped a name tag on my chest, and after confirming it was my left eye headed to surgery, took a black magic marker and drew an X above my left brow. The cataract patient's version of the scarlet letter.
Soon after, a nurse rolled her blood pressure machine over to me, wrapped my arm and once again, asked which eye was to be violated that day.
"The left one," I answered reluctantly, knowing nothing good would come of it. As I'd expected, out came her pen and with a dramatic whoosh whoosh, she slashed another X directly on top of my earlier branding.
Before I could ask whether they were using washable or indelible ink in those wretched pens, the surgeon walked up to introduce himself and shake my hand. He asked (you guessed it) which eye he'd be massacring — wouldn't you think it was fairly obvious by then? — and again, upon my reply, I was hit with yet one more X. Tic Tac Toe, you win.
At this point, I had a little more time to take in what was happening around me. The woman to my left (X marked the spot above her right eye) was offered a slurp of some sort of anti-anxiety liquid and turned it down. Blasphemy! When the offer was extended to me, I latched onto that elixir-filled dropper like a newborn suckling piglet to mama sow. As I waited for the happy juice to carry me off to la la land, I observed the other patients who'd arrived ahead of me.
Each one was called individually into another room. When they eventually reappeared, it was on the arm of one of the nurses — by necessity since whichever eye was underneath the dreaded triple X's had been covered with a most frightful apparatus: an orb slightly smaller than a racquetball positioned directly onto that eye by a strap wrapped around the patient's head.
The nurse would then gently sit the patient down in one of two large lounge chairs, where they were hooked up to an EKG machine and yet another blood pressure monitor.
He stuck a needle in the outer corner of my left eye.
Yeah, buddy, that's fascinating. Now TAKE THAT FREAKING NEEDLE OUT OF MY EYE.
All right, I didn't say that. I wanted to, but I didn't. We continued with more inane chitchat until he abruptly pulled out the needle and just as abruptly ended the conversation. He sat me upright, strapped on the torture ball and handed me over to the nurse to stumble out to one of the lounge chairs.
I have to admit, I enjoyed scaring the new patients in the waiting room. Maybe the elixir was finally doing its thing.
After my cataract was ultimately obliterated and replaced I was sent on my way, a complimentary Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute gimme cap in hand. By late that evening, I could see out of my left eye like I haven't seen in years and years. I was astounded and couldn't stop telling John how clear everything looked, how vibrant the colors were.
I was eager to try out my new eye the next morning in the daylight. Know what I saw? Dust. Lots of it. The place looked like a haunted house.
Next, I made the mistake of looking closely into the bathroom mirror. I had no idea I have so much gray hair. Honestly, I was stunned. Why hadn't anyone told me? I mean, John occasionally teased me about it but, you know, I thought he was just being silly. Turns out, it was the truth.
I wonder if there's an institute somewhere that puts cataracts back in.
The optometrist didn't bother to ask my permission. As soon as he finished the exam, he went straight to the front desk and told his receptionist to make me an appointment with the cataract surgery center.
It would have been difficult for me to argue with him, even if he'd given me the chance. After being unable to read line after increasingly larger line of letters shown to me by the optician — who had trouble stifling her gasps as she neared what she knew would be the final, humongous O filling the entire screen — it was pretty apparent the time had come to be separated from my longtime cloudy companion, my congenital cataract that had been slowly robbing the vision from my left eye since I was in my early 40's.
It was a miracle I'd been able to get my drivers license renewed last year. Only by the grace of Port Townsend's DMV clerk was I able to squeak by, despite my admission that I couldn't read a single thing on the left side of the vision test screen. I don't know if she was feeling generous that day or merely too bored and disinterested to bother but whatever the case, I was grateful beyond words to be granted permission to drive half-blind on the streets of Washington state.
I doubt the vehicular travelers crossing my path would have been quite so tickled, had they known. Pedestrians and bicyclists even less so. Yet in my defense, at my pre-surgery ophthalmological consultation, the doctor explained that because my right eye has been so busy doing the heavy lifting these past 15 years or so, my overall vision really wasn't that horrendous.
Granted, he mentioned this not to ease my mind about any potential peril I'd been inflicting upon all who traversed the roads alongside me. I hadn't confessed to the doctor my poor performance at the DMV. He was simply warning me that once my cataract was gone, my resultant vision improvement might not feel so dramatic as it does to those folks who have cataracts removed from both eyes. Still, I chose to take it as affirmation of my decision — and that of my dear DMV clerk — to continue driving.
Come to think of it, though, the ophthalmologist obviously didn't give one hoot about endangering myself or surrounding drivers, considering he sent me on my way that late afternoon (more like early evening) with fully dilated eyes and no one to chauffeur me home. In the dark. From Silverdale to Port Townsend, a nearly 45 mile trek.
After the front desk ladies cheerily handed me the packaged strip of black plastic that looks more like a roll of camera film than a substitute for honest-to-goodness sunglasses, I walked out to the car, took my place in the driver's seat…and began to panic. Already the traffic had built up to a frenzy — Silverdale is nothing but a maze of strip malls squeezed between zigging and zagging thoroughfares (my friend has aptly nicknamed the town Silverhell) and to make matters worse, I was in that godforsaken place at the height of Christmas shopping season.
I'd gotten so turned around trying to find the surgery center in the first place, I had no clue how to get back to the highway. Add to that a thousand glaring headlights. I slipped the black film under my glasses, hit the "Home" button on my GPS and waited for Nuvi (John's and my terribly clever name for our Garmin "nuvi" model GPS) to coo her directives at me.
As soon as I pulled into the street, I yanked off that black film. It's bad enough to have blurred vision in a sea of headlamps — even worse when the background to all the bobbing, weaving lights is pitch blackness. Without the piece of film obscuring what little focus I still had, I could at least make out the stripes in the road. Blurry stripes, indeed, but stripes all the same.
It was a long, teeth-clenching drive back to Port Townsend. Only a small fraction of the journey is divided highway; primarily the roads are two-laned, meaning a continuous line of oncoming traffic, each car's lights boring straight into my enormous pupils, made it feel as if I were staring directly at the sun.
Lovelier words have never been spoken.

Phase 2 reopening in Arkansas begins Monday
by Seark Today | Jun 10, 2020
Arkansas will move to Phase 2 of reopening on Monday, further lifting restrictions put in place as a result of the coronavirus, Gov. Asa Hutchinson announced Wednesday at his Covid-19 briefing.
Phase 2 allows businesses to operate at two-thirds capacity. The state on May 4 entered Phase 1, allowing restaurants and other businesses to operate at one-third capacity.
The announcement comes as the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in Arkansas continue to increase.
According to the Arkansas Department of Health, at least 10,368 people have tested positive for the virus, an increase of 288 cases since Tuesday. The number of active cases increased to 3,087, the number of deaths attributed to the virus increased from 161 to 165, and the number hospitalized increased to 181.
"We are still in the heart of the woods. We're not out of the woods; we're still in the heart of the woods when it comes to this health care emergency," Hutchinson said. "The emergency remains and, in fact, I am continuing the emergency order that does expire in mid June. I'm continuing that for another 45 days."

Q: Overhead of retrieval of an object compared to storing in local Suppose you have a private static method called Inst() which allows the class to retrieve the single instance of itself in the application in its static methods. Maybe Inst() is defined something like..
return App::GetApp()->CurrentState()->MyClass(); // Inst returns a reference

Compare this...
// I prefer this
Inst().DoThis();
Inst().DoThat();
Inst().DoFoo();

to...
MyClass inst = Inst();
inst.DoThis();
inst.DoThat();
inst.DoFoo();

In an application where performance is fairly important, is the overhead in the first set of functions non-trivial? Are modern compilers able to optimize these things out?
I realize profiling would answer my question in my case, but I'm looking for a rule of thumb here. How beneficial is it to store existing data in an local variable rather than re-retrieving it, or is this re-retrieval commonly optimized by modern compilers?

A: You worry about the wrong things and have answered the question yourself. Profile it and optimize if it's a bottleneck.
Anyway: Inst() is probably going to be inlined, so there is no function call overhead and as it is static and the result is not depending on any obvious outside parameters it could be possible for compilers to optimize it away entirely.

Ravens Part Ways With Offensive Coordinator, John Harbaugh Says '200 Percent Chance' Lamar Jackson Returns Next Season
by Dan Zaksheske January 19, 2023, 4:48 pm updated January 19, 2023, 11:04 pm
If Twitter speaks for Baltimore Ravens fans, then Thursday was the perfect day for the purple and black. Not only did they part ways with offensive coordinator Greg Roman — as real-life fans demanded earlier this season — but head coach John Harbaugh practically guaranteed Lamar Jackson would be back.
Fans quickly let the team know they approved of the Greg Roman decision.

Greg Roman molded his entire offense around Lamar Jackson. He helped Jackson become a league MVP despite lacking the ability to throw the football effectively. Now, he's gone and Ravens fans are rejoicing. What a time to be alive.
That wasn't the only news to come from the team Thursday. Head coach John Harbaugh and General Manager Eric DeCosta addressed the media to discuss the offensive staff change and the future of Jackson.
"We're excited to start up negotiations again with Lamar Jackson," DeCosta said.

Not only that, but Harbaugh said Jackson will have input on the next offensive coordinator now that Greg Roman is gone.
Ravens' HC John Harbaugh said Lamar Jackson will be involved in the search for the team's new offensive coordinator.
That's not particularly surprising, as it's becoming a trend in the NFL. Quarterbacks are being given more and more latitude, not just on the field, but off it as well. The Los Angeles Chargers said Justin Herbert would be involved in their OC search, as well.
#Chargers Tom Telesco says QB Justin Herbert will have input on who the team will bring in as their next Offensive Coordinator, noting Herbert has earned that responsibility.
— Dan W. (@DanWSports) January 19, 2023
What that actually means is anyone's guess, but the teams are saying it publicly.
Future of Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens
So, it appears Baltimore has made up its mind and it's time to pay Lamar Jackson. That's a mistake, but it's theirs to make.
The problem is that the Ravens haven't won anything with Jackson making rookie deal money. Now, they're going to try to build around him making $30-40M per year. That's nearly impossible to do.
The media loves Jackson and they take up for him all the time. They make excuses when things don't go well. But his resume is what it is. He's 1-3 in the playoffs. He missed this year's playoff game with an injury. Injuries are part of the risk that come with signing him long-term (he's missed 11 games the past two seasons). The team is 1-4 in playoff games with him on the roster.
He hasn't just lost those games, either. He's been BAD. Jackson completed less than 56% of his career playoff passes and has more interceptions (5) than touchdown passes (3). He's also been sacked 19 times.
My favorite new excuse from the media lapdogs is that the Ravens are a lot better with Lamar Jackson than without him. Crazy hot take, right? Turns out most teams are better with their starting quarterback than the backup. Who knew??
I love that the Lamar Jackson defenders are now going with "he's better than his backup." https://t.co/9UeM8tvJJr
— Dan Zaksheske (@OutkickDanZ) January 3, 2023
By the way, the Ravens scored 17 points in their Wild Card game against the Bengals with Tyler Huntley at quarterback. Baltimore averages 13 points in four Jackson playoff starts.
Let me be clear, though: the Ravens are better next season with Jackson on the roster. And, with the structure of his likely contract, they'll still have cap space for 2023. Jackson is better than potential veteran options like Derek Carr or Jimmy Garoppolo.
The problem is that his window, and in turn the team's window is going to be very, very small. The Ravens are going to sell out to try and win a Super Bowl in the next two seasons. Once he starts making big money and gets into his later 20s, the contract is going to look terrible.
Competition is a problem for Baltimore
The biggest issue, though, is that this is not a great time to try and open a championship window in the AFC. The best three teams in the conference have elite quarterbacks. The Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals can afford to pay their QBs because they are at the top of the profession.
Lamar Jackson is not in their class. He's not all that close, either. And he carries significantly higher risk. He's also likely to age much less graciously because of how much he relies on athleticism to be successful.
Look, the Ravens don't have much choice. They don't ever pick high enough to get an elite quarterback through the draft. And they can't really draft one to develop because it will hurt Lamar's feelings. As mentioned, no veteran gives them a better chance to win.

So, they'll pay Lamar Jackson a ton of money, not win anything of note, and then the media will blame coaching, the organization, the defense and everyone around Jackson.
It's not his fault, they'll say.
Pretty sweet deal for Jackson. Make a ton of money, win or don't win, who cares? Everyone else takes the blame.
I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

Magic Day is celebrated annually on October 31. What a better way to celebrate the day than a top 10 list of Magic songs. All songs listed actually have the word magic in the song title. That is why we are leaving off the famous song Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band.
Why was the date set on October 31? Because it is the day that Harry Houdini died in 1927. Commonly known as Houdini, he is the most recognized name in the magician world. Other famous magicians include David Copperfield, Chris Angel, Lance Burton, Penn & Teller, and Siegfried & Roy. All of whom have performed in a Las Vegas showroom. Think we should add a song, be sure to comment it in at the bottom of the page.

Springburn railway station serves the Springburn district of Glasgow, Scotland. The station is  north of Glasgow Queen Street (High level) station on the Cumbernauld Line and is a terminus of the Springburn branch, a spur from Bellgrove station, on the North Clyde Line.

The station was first built by the City of Glasgow Union Railway, whose branch line from  opened to goods traffic in 1875. A station building was designed by the engineer James Carswell in 1875 and was opened in 1887, when passenger traffic then began operating.  Initially built as a terminus, two through platforms were added shortly afterwards by the company when they gained running powers over the Sighthill Branch of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, which ran alongside the CGUR at this location. The link into this line gave the company access to both the E&G main line at Cowlairs and also the former Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway, which had now become the main Caledonian Railway route from Glasgow Buchanan Street to NE Scotland via  and Stirling. Several different passenger routes operated from the station, including workers trains to  on the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway and a circular service that also used the Stobcross Railway and the GD&HR. The CGUR was absorbed jointly by the North British and Glasgow and South Western Railway in 1896, with the former company taking over the Bellgrove to Springburn branch.

The line from Bellgrove was electrified in November 1960 as part of the North Clyde scheme, but regular services northward to Cowlairs ended in 1963, when the workers trains to Singer were withdrawn. However, three years later, trains from Cumbernauld were re-routed here with the closure of the Buchanan Street terminus to passenger traffic.  Passengers had to change onto the North Clyde Line at Springburn to reach the city, as there was no direct route at that time to Queen Street main line station. Normal practice therefore was to operate a Cumbernauld to Springburn shuttle service which connected with the North Clyde line trains. Through running eventually commenced in 1989, albeit with a reversal in a loop alongside the carriage sidings and depot at Eastfield to begin with.

Cumbernauld Line trains are now able to run directly to Queen Street High Level via the Cowlairs Chord - a single track south to east curve which was opened in 1993 by British Rail. The line has now been electrified as part of the Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvement Programme.

Springburn station has kept its four platforms, with two used by through trains and the others by terminating services from Bellgrove and points west. Two through goods lines used to run past the station to the west; these formed the original E&G Sighthill branch. They were latterly used to access the goods yard at Sighthill prior to its closure in October 1981, as well as to access St. Rollox railway works but they have since been lifted.

The station building was designed by James Carsewell - it is now protected as a category B listed building.

Services

2006/07
On the Cumbernauld Line Mondays to Saturdays there is a half-hourly service from Springburn to Glasgow Queen Street southbound and to  northbound (hourly to ). On Sundays there is an hourly service in each direction.

On the North Clyde Line Mondays to Saturdays there is a half-hourly service to Glasgow Queen Street (Low Level) and beyond to  and . There is no service on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

2013/14

A half-hourly service remains in operation on the Cumbernauld Line (with hourly extensions to Falkirk Grahamston) and the North Clyde line. Services on the latter run to Dalmuir via Yoker during the daytime and Balloch via  in the evenings. On Sundays there is an hourly service to Cumbernauld only - there are no trains to Falkirk or on the North Clyde Line.

From 18 May 2014, North Clyde line services will be extended every half-hour to Cumbernauld (after a reversal here) with the start of electric operation on that route. This will replace one of the two current services from Queen Street HL to Cumbernauld each hour, though the existing hourly DMU service between Falkirk Grahamston and Queen Street High Level will also remain in operation. On Sundays, the present hourly service will remain, but it will be provided by EMUs and run to and from  via Queen Street LL.

On Sundays there is an hourly service to Cumbernauld and Partick. Between March and August 2016, the service was modified further due to engineering work temporarily closing Queen Street High Level.

2018/19

From December 2018, a new half hourly Glasgow - Edinburgh via Cumbernauld and Falkirk Grahamston service will start, replacing the hourly DMU service and take over the existing EMU service between Springburn and Cumbernauld. The new service will use new Class 385 EMUs with the Springburn - Dumbarton Central service using existing Class 318, 320 and 334 stock. On Sundays however trains run between Springburn and Partick only.

Powder Springs, Lilburn rank among nation's most affordable for home-buyers
By Christopher Seward
Two metro Atlanta towns, one in Cobb County and the other in Gwinnett, have earned bragging rights for home-buyers getting the biggest bang for their buck.
Money magazine ranks Powder Springs in Cobb and Lilburn in Gwinnett as No. 4 and No. 5, respectively, among the nation's top 25 towns and cities for home affordability.
After years of tanking, home prices in metro Atlanta and Georgia continue to rise, partly because of the tight supply of homes for sale and because foreclosures are also declining, putting additional pressure on available supply. Bargains, however, can be found in at least two metro areas, according to Money.
The home affordability list is part of Money's annual Best Places to Live report, which also considers top-earning towns, best big city neighborhoods and best places for the rich and single. Three Georgia towns appear among the 50 Best Cities: Suwanee (No. 33) in Gwinnett, Evans (43) in Columbia County and Peachtree City (48) in Fayette County.
Money said Powder Springs in west Cobb has "a charming downtown" and pleasant quality of life. The median price of a home in Powder Springs is $85,000 while the median income is $68,168.
The median price of a Lilburn home $84,478 and the median family income is $64,762. Money cites Lilburn's growing south Asian community as an example of its growth. Lilburn also has "a fine school system, safe streets and proximity to Atlanta."
Money focused on areas that had more than 100 home sales in 2012 and that also experienced job and population growth. The sales data came from county assessors' offices, the magazine said.

Modern, High-Tech Building at Asklepios Heart, Vascular and Diabetes Center opens its doors
Patients seeking medical treatment for cardiac arrhythmia or vascular disease have a brand, new, high-tech option at the German Asklepios Clinic in Hamburg-St. Georg. The new construction, which is an extension of the Heart, Vascular and Diabetes Center previously built in 2009, features a separate building with a state-of-the-art electrophysiology lab, an angiography area, rotor mapping and ablation systems and the latest equipment for three-dimensional, high-resolution imaging. The two-storey building, located directly on the St. Georg hospital campus, took one year to complete. The construction budget of approximately six million euros was completely financed by the Asklepios clinic group.
The team of cardiology, neuroradiology, and vascular specialists and thousands of patients in northern Germany and beyond can now benefit from the improved, high-precision diagnostic and treatment possibilities this multi-million-euro medical facility offers to the Hamburg and international community. In fact, along with the new building, Asklepios has attracted even more highly-qualified and renowned medical specialists to its team. "With this new construction and installation of innovative equipment for diagnosing and treating cases of cardiac arrhythmia, stroke, and vascular disease, our specialists can examine and provide treatment for their patients at a world-class level," says Dr. Thomas Wolfram, Chief Executive Officer and spokesman for the Asklepios Kliniken Hamburg GmbH.
This new building will support the continued work of reputable doctors at Asklepios St. Georg like Dr. Karl-Heinz Kuck (cardiology), Dr. Sigrid Nikol (angiology) and Dr. Harold Paukish.
Asklepios St. Georg is currently the world leader in heart-related issue intervention as doctors there have conducted over 2,200 catheter ablation procedures in 2017 alone. A 24-hour angiography and catheter labor, as well as CT and MRI imaging studios not only provide superior diagnostic possibilities, but also will increase the success rate of preventive medicine in the areas of heart and vascular health.


CARLOS LAMARCHE is a lifestyle journalist and author of the book Your Style, Your Attitude featuring women of all shapes and ethnicities; emphasizing their unique beauty. He is a fashion correspondent for CNN in Spanish.
Dominicanas was born with the desire to make the current phenomenon of Dominican models on the catwalks and in campaigns of the fashion world known to the public. Once dominated by all white models, particularly Russians and Brazilians with blue or green eyes and long, flowing hair, the switch to the Dominican look as one of importance says much about our culture and its direction.
Their beauty is the result of hundreds of years mixing races in the Dominican Republic. In the film we portray the prejudices that still exist in the Dominican Republic about this mixture of races; a culture where women have to straighten their hair –beginning as a young child – to be appreciated in society. But things have gradually begun to change and there is today, thanks to these women, a whole "movement" that is slowly embracing Afro-Caribbean-American identity.


Early in the AM here in the states the UFC kicked off Fight Night 79 which featured a main event between Benson Henderson and Jorge Masvidal. The card delivered some java induced fireworks with most of the battles taking place on foot. The prelims provided KO's and split decisions and the main card was right on par. In the main event Benson Henderson was able to edge out Jorge Masvidal in a close battle. The co main showcased a quick finish for "Stun Gun" Dong Hyun Kim as he was able to thwart the effort by Dominic Waters. It was an early but action packed event from Seoul, Korea.
The main event may have went the distance but it was a closely contested match. Neither Benson Henderson(23-5) or Jorge Masvidal(29-10) really gained an edge on their feet but so it became a match up of pressure and grappling. Benson was able to land takedowns and show his championship fortitude. After some strong clinch work and a few decent strikes between both fighters you could tell early this fight could go anyway. In the second round the fight called for more heavy leg kicks and the fight gets stopped by a few illegal knees. The final rounds went similar as Henderson started to to find an edge and you could tell it started to wear on Masvidal. It was a really great match of countering and sweeps that ending up earning Henderson the split decision.
One of the fights that could have been more a grappling affair was the co main between Dominic Waters(9-4) and Dong Hyun Kim(21-3). The two fighters clinched early which would prove to be the crucial mistake for Waters. During the clinch the skilled judoka landed a beautiful takedown on Waters that immediately put him in side control. From there he used his legs to lock up the arms of Waters and put him in the crucifix. From there "Stun Gun" rained down fists and the referee gave Dominic every opportunity to escape but he was unable to do so. The fight was stopped in the first and Stun Gun now has the seventh most victories in the the UFC welterweight division.
Korea witnessed a treat in the fight between Yoshihiro Akiyama(14-6) and Alberto Mina(12-0). Unfortunately they were not happy with the outcome. Akiyama laid into the leg of Mina early and caused some early difficulty as he tried to take the fight to the ground. Since he was not successful there he ramped up his striking which is what provided the most entertaining moments of the fight. Akiyama started to find his footing late in the match but it would be to no avail. Without his legs Mina was able to withstand the final barrage from Akiyama and pull off the unfavorable decision. It was a good showing of resolve from the undefeated Brazilian fighter.
It didn't take long for hometown favorite Doo Ho Choi(13-1) to remind the UFC why he has such an amazing upside. He took on the a gifted striker in Sam Sicilia(14-6) and from the start these two traded in the pocket. Choi dropped Sam early but he was able to recover in time to get off a few good shots himself. After a flying knee followed up by heavy combo the "Korean Superboy" connected with another right and left to drop Sam then pounce on him for the early finish. This kid is dangerous and seems to handle the pressure well as possibly one of the next great fighters from Asia.
Up next for the UFC is UFC Fight Night Namajunas vs Van Zant on December 10th exclusively on UFC Fight Pass. The complete results from UFC Fight Night 79 are listed below.

Matthew Roszak, one of block.one's early investors, said EOS holders shouldn't worry too much about the warnings the company has given about the tokens. "I don't think it's fair reading into that language too tightly," he said. Given the "regulatory environment is as clear as mud," he said block.one needed to write something to provide the broadest protection possible.
Litecoin (LTC) is similar to Bitcoin in many of its characteristics and is also one of the more veteran cryptocurrencies out there. However, there are two main differences between Litecoin and Bitcoin: Speed and amount. While it takes 10 minutes to create a Bitcoin block, Litecoin demands roughly 2.5 minutes to create a block – meaning 4 times the speed. Moreover, Litecoin attracts many users, as it can produce 4 times the quantity of Bitcoin! However, as Litecoin uses highly complex cryptography, often mining it is more complicated than other cryptocurrencies.
Those who believe in Cryptocurrency claim it to be the next big thing in the history of mankind. The mere fact that Cryptocurrency is beyond the control of any government body gets it a lot of eyeballs. Imagine a universal currency beyond the control of liquidity, inflation and government subsidy. This would mean that the commercial activity of economies working on Cryptocurrency shall be privatized absolutely.
Each Fund bears all expenses of its operations other than those assumed by ProShare Advisors or the Administrator. Fund expenses include but are not limited to: the investment advisory fee; management services fee; administrative fees, index receipt agent fees, principal financial officer/treasurer services fees; compliance service fees, anti-money laundering administration fees; custodian and accounting fees and expenses, legal and auditing fees; securities valuation expenses; fidelity bonds and other insurance premiums; expenses of preparing and printing prospectuses, proxy statements, and shareholder reports and notices; registration fees and expenses; proxy and annual meeting expenses, if any; licensing fees; listing fees; all federal, state, and local taxes (including, without limitation, stamp, excise, income, and franchise taxes); organizational costs; and Independent Trustees' fees and expenses.
Certain debt securities may be treated as debt securities that were originally issued at a discount. Original issue discount can generally be defined as the difference between the price at which a security was issued and its stated redemption price at maturity. Original issue discount that accrues on a debt security in a given year generally is treated for federal income tax purposes as interest income that is included in a Fund's income and, therefore, subject to the distribution requirements applicable to RICs, even though the Fund may not receive a corresponding amount of cash until a partial or full repayment or disposition of the debt security.
The information in this Prospectus is not complete and may be changed. Shares of the Funds may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This Prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.
Purchasers of Shares in Creation Units are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Deposit Securities to the account of the Trust. Investors will also bear the costs of transferring securities from the Fund to their account or on their order. Investors who use the services of a broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services.
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, each Fund is susceptible to operational and information security risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber attacks include, but are not limited to gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites. Cyber security failures or breaches of a Fund's third -party service provider (including, but not limited to, index providers, the administrator and transfer agent) or the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. The Funds and their shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. While the Funds have established business continuity plans and systems to prevent such cyber attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Funds cannot control the cyber security plans and systems put in place by issuers in which the Funds invest.
Currently there are a several digital asset trading platforms that provide investors with forms of derivative products such as futures, so one could estimate and synthesize the discrete futures curve from the averages of various curves. MVIS research used BitMEX, OKCoin, CryptoFacilities, and BTCC as sources, to construct and approximate bitcoin futures curve based on non-U.S. bitcoin futures trading on these exchanges.
The only way that new Bitcoin can be created is through a process called "mining." Bitcoin mining occurs when users process transactional data into "blocks" and then add them to the blockchain. As payment for this service, miners are awarded specific amounts of new Bitcoin. Upon its launch, the maximum supply of Bitcoin was predetermined to be 21 million.
Never put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify. While the potential to earn more is increased with the amount of money you invest into a coin, the potential to lose more is also magnified. Another way to think about it is to look at the cryptocurrency market as a whole; if you believe that this is just the beginning, then more than likely the entire market cap of cryptocurrencies will increase. What are the chances that this market cap increase will be entirely driven by one coin vs. being driven by many coins? The best way to safely capture the overall growth of cryptocurrency is to diversify and reap the benefits of growth from multiple coins. Also, fun fact — Between January 2016 and January 2018, Corgicoin has increased by 60,000x, and Verge has increased by 13,000x. During the same period, Bitcoin has increased by 34x. While you would have gotten impressive gains from Bitcoin, expanding into other coins could have landed you potentially larger ones.
In a futures market, if the price is $500/BTC, an investor needs to buy 50 futures contracts, each worth $10. If an investor wishes to open a positive position then he goes long with "buy" contracts, and if he decides to open a negative position, he goes short with "sell" contracts. An investor's position can be either positive or negative for the same instrument. (For more, see: Bitcoin Mass Hysteria: The Disaster that Brought Down Mt. Gox.)
A Precautionary Note Regarding Unusual Circumstances — ProShares Trust can postpone payment of redemption proceeds for any period during which (1) [the Exchange] is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (2) trading on [the Exchange] is restricted, (3) any emergency circumstances exist, as determined by the SEC, and (4) the SEC by order permits for the protection of shareholders of the Fund, as further described in the SAI.
It will not, though: Everyone is exhausted, so P&G will just add Peltz to its board. This makes sense. The election is for all practical purposes a tie; the difference in votes appears to be well within the margin for measurement error. I think in that scenario a tie has to go to the activist: If 49.98 percent of your shareholders think something is going wrong, you might as well do something to appease them.
For example, you can enter a Bitcoin futures contract with Mortimer Duke saying that you will sell him 1 BTC on March 30, 2018, for the price of 5,000 USD per BTC. (In the actual CME futures contracts, the limit for one contract is 5 BTC, but we will stick with 1 BTC now for the purposes of easy explanation.) You enter into this contract on an exchange like CME.
(c) distribute with respect to each taxable year at least 90% of the sum of its investment company taxable income (as that term is defined in the Code without regard to the deduction for dividends paid—generally, taxable ordinary income and the excess, if any, of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses) and net tax-exempt interest income, for such year.
The Bitcoin protocol was built using open source software by a small group of individuals who developed what is known today as "Bitcoin Core." The open source nature of the Bitcoin protocol permits any developer to review the underlying code and suggest changes to it via "Bitcoin Improvement Proposals", or "BIPs." If accepted by a sufficient number of miners, BIPs may result in substantial changes to the Bitcoin Network, including changes that result in "forks" (as described herein). The Bitcoin Network has already experienced two major forks after developers attempted to increase transaction capacity. Blocks mined on these new "forked" networks now diverge from blocks mined on the original Bitcoin Network maintained by Bitcoin Core, resulting in the creation of two new blockchains whose digital assets are referred to as "bitcoin cash." and "bitcoin gold." Bitcoin, bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold now operate as separate, independent networks. Multiple BIPs still exist, many of which are aimed at increasing the transaction capacity of the Bitcoin Network, and it is possible that one or more of these BIPs could result in further network "forks." Such changes may
The Board has established an Audit Committee to assist the Board in performing oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee is composed exclusively of Independent Trustees. Currently, the Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Reynolds, Wachs and Fertig. Among other things, the Audit Committee makes recommendations to the full Board of Trustees with respect to the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm and reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm the plan and results of the internal controls, audit engagement and matters having a material effect on the Trust's financial operations. During the past fiscal year, the Audit Committee met five times, and the Board of Trustees met four times.
A tax-exempt shareholder may also recognize UBTI if a Fund recognizes "excess inclusion income" (as described above) derived from direct or indirect investments in residual interests in REMICs or equity interests in TMPs if the amount of such income recognized by the Fund exceeds the Fund's investment company taxable income (after taking into account deductions for dividends paid by the Fund). In addition, special tax consequences apply to charitable remainder trusts ("CRTs") that invest in RICs that invest directly or indirectly in residual interests in REMICs or equity interests in TMPs. Under legislation enacted in December 2006, a CRT (as defined in section 664 of the Code) that realizes any UBTI for a taxable year must pay an excise tax annually of an amount equal to such UBTI. Under IRS guidance issued in October 2006, a CRT will not recognize UBTI as a result of investing in a Fund that recognizes "excess inclusion income." Rather, if at any time during any taxable year a CRT (or one of certain other tax-exempt shareholders, such as the United States, a state or political subdivision, or an agency or instrumentality thereof, and certain energy
The market is so volatile that big movements up and down are pretty common and you can capitalise on this through swing trading. I recommend choosing a group of coins to be in and then sticking to swing trading in those coins rather than jumping constantly between different cryptocurrencies – it does help to have an understanding of what different coins do and how much volatility can be expected and you will gain that understanding with time. Good luck!
He told me that, although he has little to do with Renaissance's day-to-day activities, he occasionally offers ideas. He said, "I gave them one three months ago"—a suggestion for simplifying the historical data behind one of the firm's trading algorithms. Beyond saying that it didn't work, he wouldn't discuss the details—Renaissance's methods are proprietary and secret—but he did share with me the key to his investing success: he "never overrode the model." Once he settled on what should happen, he held tight until it did.
that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions from a pool of mortgage assets. The Funds will only invest in SMBS whose mortgage assets are U.S. government obligations. A common type of SMBS will be structured so that one class receives some of the interest and most of the principal from the mortgage assets, while the other class receives most of the interest and the remainder of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, each Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities. The market value of any class that consists primarily or entirely of principal payments generally is unusually volatile in response to changes in interest rates.
!! WARNING !!! Note that on CryptoFacilities each contract is denominated by 1 BTC. So if you bought a fraction of BTC you can NOT perform a perfect hedge of the value. If you round the BTC you bought with start capital down, you will have slight overexposure LONG with the left-over BTC. If you round up and short an extra contract, you will have slight overexposure SHORT.

Let's say that you're in the midst of a brutal losing streak. You've been getting smashed at PPTQs and you've had lousy performances at FNM, with matches decided by bad beats and poor decision making. No matter how positive you've tried to be, you're still getting wrecked.
And let's say your losing streak has been going on for 3 months – or longer – but no matter how bad you lose, you're resilient enough to come back the next week and take another stab at victory.
A statement that seems harmless enough, yet simultaneously vindicating and righteous. You've been on the wrong end of bad luck and bad beats for weeks now, and the natural ebb and flow of the multiverse has you positioned to rise again, right?
Just because you've lost a bunch does not mean that one day, out of nowhere, you're going to start winning again. Yes, luck goes both ways, and no losing streak lasts forever, but telling yourself that you're due to win is a very flawed mentality.
Because it comes from the mentality of someone who is incredibly downtrodden and defeated by the disappointment of losing. It's a mindset that recognizes a sense of shame in losing, when really, there is no shame in losing – ever. No matter how high the stakes may be.
Obviously, these types of thoughts are counter-productive, and acting on them always brings about regret.
#2: Added pressure. When you tell yourself that you're due to win, you're subliminally pressuring yourself to perform well. And once your first misplay happens, thoughts of "here we go again" are likely to fill your mind, and at that point you'll already be sliding down the slippery slope of disappointment.
So what's the best mindset to have when you're in the middle of a losing streak?
Play to learn, play to have fun, and don't be ashamed to lose.
Remember, achieving your goals in Magic isn't always about winning now. It's about learning as much as you can now and properly setting yourself up to win big later.
Have you ever made the mistake of telling yourself that you're due to win? If so, tell us about it, or post about it on the MTG Pro Tutor Facebook Page.

Brailsford on Froome-Wiggins combo at 2014 Tour: 'I'd love to do it'
Sky boss says he would "love to do it" when asked about having both riders in next year's race

LONDON (AFP) — Sky boss Dave Brailsford would love to see the last two Tour de France winners Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins lining up together when the race heads to Great Britain next year.
Froome, who won the centenary edition of cycling's biggest race on Sunday, and Wiggins, who became the first British winner last year, reportedly do not enjoy the easiest of relationships.
But Brailsford said he would still "absolutely love" to see the pair working together when the Tour starts in the northern English city of Leeds in 2014.
"I'd love to do it," he said, dismissing concerns that the riders' apparent differences would not make for a happy team.
Wiggins, 33, followed up his victory in 2012 with a gold medal in the Olympic time trial in London. He was also knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and won the BBC's prestigious Sports Personality of the Year.
But he has endured a frustrating 2013, hampered by illness and injury that forced him to withdraw from the Giro d'Italia in May and sit out the Tour de France.
Wiggins said in June that he may not try to win the Tour again and suggested the 28-year-old Froome would be the man to beat in the race in the next few years.
Brailsford, however, said that Wiggins was "very, very motivated" for his return this weekend in the Tour of Poland and in good shape to target the world championships in Florence, Italy, in September.
The Sky principal said he was not ruling anything out for next season but having Froome as defending champion as the Tour heads to Britain was "brilliant."
"It's bonkers really, when you think about it," he added.
