Scrambling in Joshua Tree
March 4, 2014 California No comments
We stopped in Joshua Tree for a few days to break up the drive from Sedona to San Diego. Both Tim and I have great memories of previous trips there and we wanted to share the fun of scrambling in the jumbo boulders with Hunter.
We had initially hoped to camp in one of the campgrounds within Joshua Tree National Park but unfortunately they just aren't designed to hold a 49 foot monstrosity! After finding the one spot that would fit and realizing we were on an extreme angle and parked next to an area that had a sign warning of dangerous bees (really???), we decided to give up on that vision and head into 29 Palms to the commercial campground there. 29 Palms Golf Resort is an older, smaller worn down version of the Voyager resort in Tuscon. It was just fine for a 2 night stop…

Joshua Tree has a number of different areas / zones to the park. Situated between the Great Basin desert to the north and the Sonoran desert to the south, the Mojave desert is a rain shadow desert with a mix of latitude, elevation, geology and plants. We successfully completed another Junior Ranger badge and enjoyed the learnings through out the day.
Chulla Cactus Garden

One of the interesting "geographies" is the Chulla Cactus Garden. As you drive from the south entrance to the north entrance you suddenly come across this area full of chulla cacti. It is maybe a couple of kilometres deep and stops as quickly as it starts, leaving you really curious about the ecosystem that created it.
We spent a good three hours exploring all of the rocks and pushing our various comfort zones with heights and gaps.
Although the rock looks just like the slick rock found in Utah and northern Arizona, it is not! It's a scratchy mixture that is almost like rough concrete. Not nearly as comfortable to slide or contort yourself when scrambling but it does provide good grip.

Yay – I made it to the top

Fort Pulaski, Tybee Island Georgia
January 6, 2014 Georgia No comments
Fort Pulaski is a Civil War fort that is now a National Monument run by the National Parks Service. It was commissioned by President James Madison as part of the coastal fortification system shortly after the War of 1812. Construction started in 1829 and they were still working on the armament in 1860. As it turned out, before United States troops could occupy the fort, they had to conquer it.
On January 3, 1861, 2 weeks after South Carolina seceded from the Union, and one week after Federal troops occupied Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbour, Georgia Governor Joseph Brown ordered state militia to seize Fort Pulaski for the Confederate States of America.
When it was constructed, people felt that it was "un-takeable" as it had 7.5 foot walls and was located over 1,000 yards away from the closest firm ground. This was based on the usage of smooth bore heavy artillery. When the Union came to attack in February 1862, they spent 2 months hauling heavy artillery across the sand and marsh of Tybee Island at night. They brought with them 5 experimental rifled cannons and it was these cannons that successfully penetrated the fort walls and resulted in the Confederates surrender after only 30 hours. The union then took over the fort, repaired the breached wall (notice the red bricks) and used it as a base to attack Savannah and a prison for Confederate soldiers.

The entire fort area is incredibly well maintained. It felt like we were in England looking at old forts and castles there, with the green grass, large moats and solid fort walls.
They had a great interpretive program and junior ranger program. We all learn so much from these and Hunter is so proud of the badges that he gets. Because we are doing this as part of our school curriculum, Hunter has to complete all pages of each book vs the minimum to get the badge. We learned all about firing a musket and about the transition from smooth bore to rifled artillery.
Fort Frederica, Georgia
Fort Frederica is a National Monument run by the National Parks Service. It is more of a ruins than an actual fort these days and highlights the 1700's when Georgia was settled by the British, through to 1742 when the British and Spanish clashed as part of Spain's attempt to expand north from Florida. The British were successful in defending their land and the fort was disbanded shortly after then 1742 battle.
Walking through this fort was a big change from the Castillo de San Marcos that we saw the day before. The grounds were beautiful but it left a lot up to your imagination.

The visitors centre had some great artifacts of that time period. The best was a 1700's drinking game that is the precursor to pinball. Games were how pubs differentiated themselves from each other to gain customers.
Crystal gazing at the Petrified Forest National Park
November 27, 2013 Arizona No comments
Petrified Forest National Park is another lesser visited national park located in the North East corner of Arizona as you head towards New Mexico. The Hedderman family had stopped at the park a few days before us and raved so we thought we would spend some time in this self proclaimed "science park" while on our way to New Mexico.
After the highlights of discovering Route66 I wasn't sure if there would be the patience and focus required for this visit. With a Junior Ranger badge on the line, Hunter snapped right to it and got to work. They also had a Junior Paleontologist program so we signed Tim up so he could be part of the learning as well.
We enjoyed the historic information and education on what forms petrified wood. There are some great trails there and we explored a few short ones, only because we ran out of time to catch the longer ones initially planned.
It was incredibly quiet with few people there and drastically different landscape that you see in most other places.

Hunter and Tim both successfully completed their programs and got badges. Hunter also got his first patch, which was a big hit and has sent him in search of more!
September 13, 2013 Alberta No comments
We had originally planned to head south from Prince George through the northern interior of BC to mountain bike and then check out Whistler and Squamish to see what all the noise is about.
That was changed on the fly when our friends that were coming back to the Yukon from Colorado were able to pick up 2 softtop surfboards for us from Costco super cheap. We hauled out the maps shortly before leaving home and estimated that Jasper would not be too far out of our way and would be somewhat along their path. Jasper is always a great fall visit so everyone said YES and we picked Sept 10th to connect.
We had hoped for a relatively quick 4 hour drive from Prince George to Jasper on the 9th but we managed to land smack in the middle of mountain blasting 20 km before the park and sat in various places on the road for 90 minutes. Hunter was fairly enthralled as there were lots of machines and they were placing dynamite directly into the rocks to blow the shale off…
We stayed at the Whistler Campground run by the National Park Service. It is a large campground but one of the few that is open past September 1st. Full services, very clean and very professional staff.
An afternoon ride to town to check out the bike paths was just what we needed after spending all day in the truck. It was an amazing Indian Summer day – 25c, big blue skies and lots of sunshine! Jasper has a fabulous set of tourist oriented bike paths along the main roads and they made for easy riding, which was exactly what we needed. Boys being boys we found many sets of stairs to ride down and things to jump over just to keep the challenge going. So far so good that I am still keeping up!
The morning of the 10th we enjoyed a sleep in and then headed off on our bikes to explore the renowned Valley of the 5 Lakes Trail. Having learned from our Burns Lake Epic mistakes, Tim and I both agreed that it was not likely we would complete the 17km trail and that there were a few logical turn around points noted on the map. The trail starts just on the other side of the Athabasca River – a Canadian Historical River that is magical for its glacier silty blue colour. It is a very family friendly multi-use trail (bikes, hikers & horses) and starts out with a fairly gradual uphill. That gets you about 1.5 km down the trail and then you hit a series of abrupt (i.e. push your bike) uphill slopes that really suck the energy out of 10 year olds that are the same size as their bike! We persevered and made it about 4km down the trail…
Using all of the learnings from Burns Lake, we were in the midst of a rocky/tricky long downhill when it dawned on me that Hunter would have to push his bike back up all of this and that maybe it wouldn't be smarter to make it to the bottom and then make the decision. Who said we were too old to learn! Hunter worked hard and pushed his bike back up all the downhills because he was determined to ride the downhills back to the trail head. A great lesson about goals and motivation!
There are a series of smaller loop trails on the opposite side of the river just west of Jasper town centre and if I could do our ride over again, I would have chosen one or two of those loops taking the heat into consideration. As much as I am a hot weather person, Tim and Hunter are not and the heat just seems to drain their energy. More learnings for us as we adventure plan.
We headed back into town and hit up the Coldstone Creamery Ice Cream shop and then parked ourselves on the lawn of the Jasper Park Visitors centre to access their free WiFi and for Hunter to complete his Junior Warden book… A fabulous but quick 2 days in Jasper. Well worth the stop!

radar fired up. we have storm ranger in place on mt. allison. that's bringing the best resolution and radar tracking this morning. you can see a lot of it lights up making its way into the south bay right now. this is light stuff making its way into downtown near the foothills, east bay area, alum rock and towards sunnyvale. that's light rain, probably enough to get the ground wet and activate the windshield wipers. look what's coming to the north near ukiah. that stuff is making its way into the north bay. that's the heavy rain we're waiting on. we'll time that out and let you know when it will arrive and how much we can see from the first storm coming up in a little bit. mike? >> the light rain picked up by the storm ranger truck in the south bay. it shows the area where we're seeing slowing, a minor crash on 101. the commute, as you see overall looks great. the heavier rain, b over here a crash still blocking one lane with crews on scene. south 101 at spencer where the rain is hitting. we're tracking your commute so far. a lighter than average backup at the bay bridge as well.
riveting life story. the oldest park ranger. >> nbc bay area responds. we recovered over $250,000 for our viewers. if you want help, call or visit nbcbayarea.com responds. we can't go back to the years of devastating cuts to public education. exactly why i urge you to vote yes on prop 55. prop 55 prevents $4 billion in new education cuts without raising taxes on anyone. and there's strict accountability in prop 55. with local control over school funding decisions. and mandatory annual audits guaranteeing the money goes directly to our classrooms. not to bureaucracy, not to administration. so vote yes on 55. because it helps our children thrive. so vote yes on 55. >>> coming up tonight at 6:00, was he targeted because of his religion? a sikh man says he was attacked in his own car. serious injuries he suffered, and the hate crime allegation. we'll have more of that for you coming up tonight at 6:00. >>> she is already celebrated nationally and today an east bay lawmaker presented another award to the oldest living park ranger. this is betty suskin, the country's oldest working park ranger.
storm ranger tonight. looking at the rain as it approaches fremont with more wind and heavy rain expected in the south bay this weekend. a look at that in our forecast, coming up. woman: how do we protect them from $4 billion in new cuts to california schools? man: vote yes on proposition 55. woman: prop 55 doesn't raise taxes on anyone. man: not on working californians, not small businesses. no one. woman: instead, prop 55 simply maintains the current tax rate on the wealthiest californians. man: so those who can most afford it continue paying their fair share... woman: ...to prevent new education cuts... man: ...and keep improving california's schools. woman: vote yes on prop 55 to help our children thrive. >>> symbols of hate scrawled in blood at a south bay university. and tonight everyone is getting a close look at that message and those who scrolled it, thanks to a leaked video from a closed circuit camera. nbc bay area's damian trujillo is at santa clara university where it occurred. >> reporter: the university would not go on camera for this report nor allow us on campus.


Soup dumplings, or "xiao long bao," are little parcels of mouth-watering pork and steaming, soupy goodness that delight and entice your taste buds.
I first tried them at a hole in the wall spot called Joe's Shanghai on Pell Street in Chinatown, New York City. My friend Rachel had been turned on to Joe's by a Chinese friend of hers who claimed that their soup dumplings were the best in the city. It was love at first bite.
I recently got fixated on finding these tender pouches of deliciousness in or around Long Beach. I figured with Long Beach having a wonderful variety of inhabitants from all over the world, chances were good of finding soup dumplings somewhere within the city's boundaries. However after a long internet search, the closest places that I could find are in Artesia—just a quick jaunt up the 605.
I first went in pursuit of fulfilling my yearning for soup dumplings at Canaan Restaurant. It's a simple strip-mall Chinese eatery (there are a whole slew of them in this neck of the woods). My boyfriend ordered hot and sour soup and kung pao shrimp, while I kept my eye on the prize—what they call Shanghai dumplings. I felt like I was awaiting the return of a long lost lover. I could barely contain my joy of only being moments away from being reunited to those delectable bundles of utopic wonderment.
They first brought out the hot and sour soup, which is hands down the best version of this dish I've ever had. It was a celestial stew of flawless consistency and immaculate ingredients (pork, tofu, mushrooms, scallions, ginger, etc.). I would have been completely satisfied if the mission was to find the crowning achievement of hot and sour (if you are ever out by the Cerritos Mall, it's worth stopping in for this dish alone). However, I held back on devouring the soup in its entirety, I wanted to be sure there was plenty of room for my beloved dumplings.
The kung pao shrimp came out next and was pleasing with its light and savory sauce, bell peppers, water chestnuts and peanuts, though I only took a few bites. My heart skipped a beat as I caught sight of the server carrying the silver steam pan to the table. First appearances left me lackluster. The juiciness factor did not appear to be on par.
I delicately scooped up a dumpling and poked it with a chopstick to let the broth escape and fill the spoon, but nothing came out. I felt duped, like I was all dressed up and ready to go on a date with a long-lusted-after companion, whose less-interesting brother showed up instead with a wilted corsage in hand. The flavor was nice, but they wound up being "just okay" dumplings.
The absence of broth was such a disappointment, like a cupcake with out frosting.
I attempted a second soup dumpling outing at another spot in the same Artesia neighborhood. The steamed pork dumplings at Szechwan Garden received numerous accolades on Yelp but to me, they were even more of a let down. The pork had a strange sweetness to it and any trace of broth escaped when the dough casing tore as I tried to unstick the little critters from the silver steam dish. The dan dan noodles (chili and vinegar laced noodles topped with crumbled pork, scallions and cucumber) were all right, but nothing worth arranging another rendezvous over.
So, I am putting the call out to Long Beach Post readers: Do you know of any sopping, luscious xiao long bao nestled in steam baskets hiding in the midst of our fair city? Or do I have to drive all the way to L.A., or take a plane back to NYC to obtain my so desired soup dumpling reunion?

Utah: A Brigham Young University student has been arrested on suspicion of using a stun gun on a woman and trying to handcuff her. Stetson Hallam was booked Thursday night into the Utah County jail on third-degree felony charges of aggravated assault and attempted kidnapping.
Police say he had pursued the woman romantically, but she had no interest in him. They also say he was the woman's home teacher in their Mormon church ward. Hallam claimed it was all an April Fool's joke.
honestly what he did in so stupid but to lable him as "religious douchebag" is not an excetpible term for him! maybe "stupid 19 year old college student who made a idiot choice" would better fit this case.
I agree with the previous comment. The LDS church has nothing to do with this case. It is a coincidence that he is a member.
I did consider these points and debated on whether or not to feature Mr. Hallam on the site. But, being the woman's home teacher, and abusing this postion, qualifies him as a "religious douchebag", (albeit to a lesser degree than is usually found on religiousdouchebags.com) in my opinion.
I think he qualifies. I am a member and was in one of his classes this semester. Stun guns are not involved in April Fool's jokes, and April Fool's jokes happen on the 1st, not the 6th. This guy is a creep.
I just now saw this. and while I hate to say this, I think Stets qualifies to some degree because he was her home teacher and a member of the LDS church. But at the same time, his actions were not part of why he did what he did and for that reason I don't think he qualifies.
I'm also a member, and he was one of my closest friends in high school. he was one of my first dates when I turned 16. I wouldn't go around calling people creeps if I was you. I'm sure some people think you're a creep too.

The carbon footprint of pet food is enormous. Wild Earth wants to give pets the same nutrition without the emissions.
While other Silicon Valley startups grow chicken from animal cells for future use in chicken nuggets, one Berkeley-based biotech startup has been experimenting with bioreactor-grown meat for a different audience: mouse treats for cats.
The startup, called Wild Earth, wants to provide sustainable, cruelty-free, and healthy options for pet food at a time when some other brands use animal byproducts and have faced recalls for problems like dog food laced with pentobarbital, a euthanasia drug. It already makes and sells dog treats made from cultured fungi protein. The founders saw an opening for pet food in the growing cellular agriculture sector.
Bethencourt, who fosters dogs, had often questioned both the nutritional value and larger ethical implications of the food that he fed them. "Every time I'd open up a can or I'd pour them some kibble, I'd wonder what's actually in their food and what type of impact it's having on our environment or on farmed animals," he says. One study calculated that feeding cats and dogs in the U.S. creates the equivalent of 64 million tons of carbon dioxide each year.
The startup's first products are dog treats made with fermented koji, a type of fungus that is also used to make foods like soy sauce and miso soup, along with ingredients like peanut butter. The product is a "complete protein," meaning that, like meat, it provides all of the amino acids that dogs need nutritionally. Wild Earth calculates that producing the treats uses 90% fewer resources than meat-based treats. Within a few months, it plans to release a new koji-and-plant-based dog food. The food is currently going through taste tests with dog "volunteers" in homes; Bethencourt notes that the pet food industry typically tests foods on lab animals.
The company focused on koji since it's already ready for commercial scale, but is also exploring so-called "clean meat" grown from animal cells for the future. "The reality of it is, getting to the point where you can actually commercially and feasibly scale a product like that is going to take some more time," he says. As an early experiment, the team tried making lab-grown mouse cells, both because cats are known for liking the flavor and because the cell line of mice is well understood.

She gives life we drain it
Wax and marble powder (50 x 60 x 150 cm)
The sculpture She gives life, we drain it is understood as a withdrawal in which idea and materials intermingle. This petrol pump, sculptured from [petrol-derived] industrial wax, stands as a petrified monolith. It is drained of its fluid energy, which constituted its sole purpose and has instead turned solid. The Content has now become Container. By the same token, the "black gold" has now been transformed into a white tactile substance. Signaling an artificial metamorphosis, the sculpture is converted into a fragile, mortiferous block, the bearer of its own loss. Its rough, unfinished form gives it a residual temporal status, like a past object's firm archaeological clue.

What to do in the event of a flight delay or cancellation in a London airport
March 22 2019, 11.15
Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, City, Gatwick, Southend – London is served by six international airports that cater to flights from not only all over Europe, but over the entire world. And while some airports might be in disputes over where a certain runway should be built, there's one thing that unites them all – despite the massive air traffic they all receive – and that is that they are all prone to flight delays or cancellation.
Now delays can happen for all sorts of reasons, but they're never fun if you find yourself on the receiving end of one. That being said, if you do find yourself sitting in the terminal, unsure of when your flight is due to depart, it doesn't mean you're stranded and without options. Below we'll take a look at what to do in the event of a severe flight delay in one of London's airports.
That's right – if your flight is subject to a severe delay or cancellation and it's the fault of the airline, you're entitled by law to compensation up to €600. The exact amount you'll receive depends on the length of your delay and how far you were due to travel. It doesn't matter whether it's British Airways that caused your flight to be delayed, or a budget airline like Ryanair or EasyJet, all companies leaving or departing from a European country are bound to compensate every passenger they cause delays for. If you're unsure whether or not you're eligible, ask anyway. At worst they'll say no and you'll get the next flight out; at best you'll have your pints paid for for the next three months.
Wait it out in a pub
London is no stranger when it comes to pubs and good beer (in fact it's kind of renowned for it). If you're going to be in limbo for a good few hours, then taking the tube into London for the sake of a pint might not be the worst idea in the world. And thanks to the night tube, you'll be able to visit your favourite local or bar regardless of what time it is. Just make sure you're back at the airport in time for your flight!
Go and look at some art
This applies purely to Heathrow, but if you find yourself delayed and in the busiest airport in your Europe, head over to Terminal 5 and tour the T5 Gallery which offers a professionally curated permanent exhibition of world class art and sculptures. It's a lovely cultural experience and will kill a good few hours until your flight is ready to depart.
Visit a spa and get treated
Delays can be stressful, but that doesn't mean you have to stay stressed. Almost every airport worth its salt will have a decent spa or massage parlour on site. Instead of worrying about missed connections and how you're going to catch up on sleep in the morning, head on over to a spa of your choice and let all of your cares melt away under the gentle hands of an airport masseuse. You'll be surprised at the list of treatments available – anything from simple massages, manicures and pedicures, all the way facials and even reflexology.

2007 has been busy for the United States Honbu. The year began, as it always does with the "Akamine Eitsuke Sensei Tsuitou Embu Taikai" held in Florida. Students from across the US and Canada attended. And, those who could not attend trained privately at their home dojos in honor of Akamine Sensei's memory. The 2008 Taikai will be held on January 13th in Satellite Beach, Florida.
The first quarter of the year saw us turn lemons into lemonade. First, the lemons. Rising Suns Productions released the "Akamine Eisuke" DVD, with out so much as a courtesy contact with the Akamine family, or the Okinawan or U.S. Honbu dojos. However, while investigating the source of the material, we were able to reconnect with Clarence "Taiju" Lee, a long-ago visitor to the Akamine Sensei's dojo. While never a formal student of Akamine Sensei, Sifu Lee considers him a highly respected teacher and strong influence.
Rick Wong, a student of Sifu Lee, set up a visit between Mr. Lee and myself, Dometrich Sensei's West Coast representative. The visit went very well and I am happy to report that, while there are certainly differences in the waza, it is clear that Sifu Lee learned our kata well. Future visits should only serve to strengthen this tie with a long-lost family member and his organization.
Given the strong demand for a DVD re-release of "Taira Shinken: Father of Kobudo", initial work began on this project. In addition to updating the VHS release, the new DVD was planned to also address Akamine Eisuke Sensei's life and work. However, those projects have been put on hold at the request of the Okinawan Honbu. We understand there are some changes and updated information from the Okinawan Honbu and are certainly interested in working with them to deliver the best, most accurate historical work possible.
Dometrich Sensei's Kihon DVD series remains very popular. As always, Dometrich Sensei strongly emphasizes that no DVD can replace a qualified and committed instructor, but she has seen the value the DVD provides serious students as a reference. Currently, the Kihon series is very much a home-grown product. In 2008, we will begin work on updating this series with a more professional production and look for the most appropriate way distribute this high-quality instructional support material.
Finally and most importantly, Dometrich Sensei continues to travel the United States and Canada teaching over 1800 students in over 50 dojo across the country. As Akamine Sensei before her, Dometrich Sensei places the greatest emphasis on sound waza as the foundation of good kata and therefore an overall understanding of the fighting concepts which form our art. Ever the tough taskmaster, Sensei is happy with the progress of most of the students she sees in her Shibu and Doko Kai. Most students are progressing with solid, combat-effective waza and, their kata are coming along as a result.
One key measure of success is the growing appreciation among her students that Kobudo is a martial art, which, while complementary to karate, is also a separate and distinct discipline. This is an important milestone, particularly in North America. Unlike Okinawa, students and teachers here often see weapons training as an interesting bit of "fluff" on top of their existing karate curriculum. By spreading the word at dojo across North America and at special events like the annual Martial Arts Symposium and the Arnold Classic, Dometrich Sensei is changing the way Americans and Canadians think about Kobudo and, in the process, bringing new students to the art with each dojo visit.
In closing, on behalf of Dometrich Sensei and all of my kyoudai in the United States and Canada, I wish everyone in the organization, from Akamine Kaicho to the newest person in the dojo, a happy holiday season and a safe and prosperous 2008.

Sample Letter -1
This letter serves as a formal notice to you that you have breached the contract signed between us on [Date]. According to the contract, I was supposed to receive a supply of hair dyes from your company for my beauty salon after making the advance payment. The delivery was to be made within a week. However, it has been a month and I have still not received the supplies for which I have already made the advance payment.
I am hereby canceling the contract with you and would like to demand a full refund of my advance payment. I am not interested in doing business with you anymore owing to your poor service and unprofessional attitude.

All our office work is on hold due to your delay. We are facing a loss owing to your agreement violation. We, therefore, demand a compensation from your company for this loss.

Friday movie roundup – Nov. 5
Citizens of Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Austin, Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington D.C. should skip the big studio releases this weekend and see "Four Lions," which is a very funny and dark British comedy about terrorism. Goodness knows we could use some more of those.
It's been all the buzz ever since it premiered at Sundance in January, but none of the usual indie distributors were willing to take the risk of releasing it. Then, just in the nick of time, the folks behind Austin's world-famous Alamo Drafthouse theaters started a new distribution wing, and "Four Lions" became their first product. This is good news for everybody, because the Drafthouse people have excellent taste, and "Four Lions" is hilarious. Go see it. The film's website has a schedule of when it will open in additional cities.
As for wide releases, feh. "Megamind" is the best of the lot, and it's barely on the "recommended" side. "Due Date" is weirdly unfunny. "For Colored Girls" wasn't screened for critics, but I reviewed it for Cinematical as soon as it opened, and it ain't pretty.
Also in limited release: "Fair Game" (review at Film.com), starring Naomi Watts as outed spy Valerie Plame and Sean Penn as her husband, Joe Wilson. Whatever sensation that sentence inspires in you is probably how you'll feel about the movie, too.
For Film.com this week, "What's the Big Deal?" is about "Apocalypse Now," and "Eric's Bad Movies" is "DOA: Dead or Alive," which is definitely a bad movie, no matter what you may have heard. I also transcribed some of the messages left on Bill Murray's voice mail.
Subscribe to "In the Dark," a weekly e-mail with the latest movie reviews, DVD releases, and other pertinent info.
Listen to "Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider," a weekly Internet radio show featuring Jeff Bayer and Eric D. Snider, at PDX.fm. It's live at 11 a.m. (Pacific) every Friday, then downloadable as a podcast. Ignore the iTunes "explicit" tag; we always keep it PG.


Boxer Manny Pacquiao has until May 27 to decide whether or not he'll compete in the Rio Olympics, while shooter Kim Rhode recently qualified for her sixth Games.

• For the first time, professional boxers are allowed to compete at the Olympics, but one of the world's best still has yet to decide if he'll be participating in Rio. Manny Pacquiao has been given a deadline of May 27 to decide whether or not he wants to fight at the Olympics, according to Ed Picson, the executive director of the Association of Boxing of Alliances in the Philippines. The 37-year-old retired from boxing after defeating Timothy Bradley Jr. in April, but he can accept a wild card in the 64-kg junior welterweight class, which is one lower than where he usually fights.
• Kim Rhode dominated at the shooting U.S. Olympic team trials over the weekend, securing her spot at her sixth Olympics. She is only the second American women to compete at six Summer Games and will be the first to do so on six different continents. If she medals in Brazil, Rhode would tie Italian luge star Armin Zöggeler for most consecutive individual Olympic medals won by an athlete. Rhode could be the first shooter to win four gold medals in the sport.
• Enkelejda Shehaj will return to the Olympics for the first time in 20 years. After picking up pistol shooting in 1986 while living in her native Albania, Shehaj competed at the '92 and '96 Games. But trouble in the country forced her to move to the U.S. in 1999, and Albania left her off the roster for the 2000 Olympic team.
Shehaj took a break from shooting, allowing her to settle in the U.S., but her husband eventually encouraged her to pick up the sport again. She became an American citizen in 2012, and two years later, she returned to competition. Following a dramatic sudden-death battle at the Olympic Trials, she punched her ticket to Rio.
• Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross won their 15th consecutive FIVB World Tour match at this past weekend's Cincinnati Open, effectively locking up their spot in Rio. SI.com's Kayla Lombardo caught up with Walsh-Jennings to discuss her plans for Rio and more.
• Usain Bolt dipped under 10 seconds for the first time in 2016, winning the 100 meters at the Ostrava Golden Spikes Meeting in the Czech Republic, but the world's fastest men left disappointed with the race and will run again at the Racers Track Club Grand Prix in Kingston, Jamaica on June 11. There, he'll face Olympic silver medalist Yohan Blake, who defeated Bolt at the 2012 Jamaica national championship, for the first time since the '12 Olympic final.
• Olympic decathlon champion Ashton Eaton was named SI's fittest male athlete over LeBron James. Jessica Ennis-Hill, the Olympic heptathlon champion, took the No. 1 spot on the women's side over sprinter Allyson Felix.
• View the full list of Olympians and Rio hopefuls on the Fittest 50 list here.
• Olympic hurdle champion Sally Pearson of Australia announced her return at the Birmingham Diamond League meet in England on June 5. She sustained a wrist injury last summer that knocked her out of the world championships.
• Ethiopia named its Olympic marathon team and did not include three-time Olympic gold medalist Kenenisa Bekele or two-time Boston Marathon champion Lelisa Desisa.
• Katie Zafares was named to the 2016 U.S.A. triathlon team for Rio and will join Gwen Jorgensen and Sarah True. She finished last year ranked No. 5 in the world.
• USA Swimming moved its training camp from Puerto Rico to Georgia Tech's aquatic center, where the 1996 Olympics were held, after concerns due to Zika.
• Michael Phelps introduced the world to Baby Boomer on Facebook Live. His next competition will be in Austin, Texas from June 3-5.
• NBC will have David Feherty broadcast golf in Rio. Golf will make its return to the Olympics for the first time since 1914 and will be broadcast on Golf Channel, which plans to have more than 300 hours of coverage.
• Rory McIllroy expressed some concern over Zika as he decides whether or not to compete in Rio.
• Jarryd Hayne played about 15 minutes in six matches over the weekend as he made his rugby sevens tournament debut with Fiji in London. The 26-year-old quit the NFL after one season to pursue his Olympic dreams.
"At the moment, I'm behind the eight ball and I've got no problem with that. It's about working hard and getting there," Hayne said after the game.
• Heba Allejji, 19, will be the first Syrian athlete to compete at the Olympics in table tennis as the International Table Tennis Federation announced its tripartite spots in the men's and women's competitions. Scotland upset South Africa to win the tournament.
• Adeline Gray visited the SI offices and showed off her winning moves on some staffers.
• Sandor Tarics won gold as a member of Hungary's water polo team at the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin. He died on Saturday at the age of 102 in his San Francisco home. There are 22 athletes from the 1936 Olympics that have reached the age of 100, including former FIFA president Joao Havelange.
• Yulia Efimova, the four-time world champion, had her doping ban lifted. FINA, the sport's world governing body, was following up on positive tests for Meldonium. The drug was banned on Jan. 1 but many athletes, including Efimova, claimed they took the drug before it was banned but it remained in their system after they stopped taking it.
• Yelena Isinbayeva, the two-time Olympic champion, says that she plans to file a lawsuit in an international human rights court, if she is unable to compete at he Olympics due to Russia's ban from international competition by the IAAF.
• The good news for Isinbayeva is that the Russia's new track and field federation president, Dmitry Shlyakhtin, puts the nation's chances of competing in Rio between 50-60%.
• WADA has set a July 15 deadline for their independent investigation into the doping allegations involving Russians at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.
• Olympic high jump champion Anna Chicherova is one of 14 Russians that reportedly tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in the recent re-testing of 2008 Olympic doping samples.

Women in the Driving Seat: The Supercars with Female Appeal
Culture / 5 years ago
Girls and their toys...
Once women were only draped over them, now they're directing their design and are the biggest growth market. Vicki Butler-Henderson tests drives the supercars with female appeal.
Two of the most expensive things we can ever buy are cars and houses. Two of the most emotional investments we can ever make also happen to be cars and houses. We can fall in love with high ceilings and bay windows just as much as we can be left breathless by a car's design – the glimpse of a Porsche 911's rear end as it slips onto the King's Road, or the profile of a Rolls-Royce Phantom gliding away from a country house hotel.
The Supercars with Female Appeal
Jenny Murray on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour once asked me how I, or anyone, could be so passionate about a metal box on wheels. Well, cars can be beautiful and exciting and they have bewitched me since I started racing at the age of 12. Driving a car sideways at high speed and to the point where it looks like it's out of control – as I sit behind the wheel, fully in control – is my one talent. It gives me unfiltered joy.
But cars don't have to be on the ragged edge of noise and adhesion for us to love them – in the same way that a box made of bricks and mortar doesn't have to move for us to adore it. Car manufacturers understand this and know that tapping into these human responses will result in sales. And with sixty per cent of new cars being bought by women in the UK, and more on the say-so of women, it's clear who is really in the driving seat. Certain markets have already taken note.
Sports Car Manufacturing
'Sportscar makers have ignored the important female market for the last five to ten years. And that's unacceptable,' says Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer at Aston Martin – one of the most recognised brands in the world, let alone the British-based maker of luxury sportscars. It has been adorning our roads, bedroom walls, and James Bond, with glorious machines for over 100 years. 'Today we have a female advisory board made up of women who run their own businesses, are independently wealthy, and many of whom are mums, too,' he continues.
'Women are involved in the car design as well, with a female running the team responsible for the interior of our latest car, the DB11. 'We notice that women customers pay much closer attention to choosing the colour and material combinations for the interior of their cars, much more so than men who don't want confusion or to be hassled with choice. We have really taken personalisation on board and can colour-match the exact shade of your favourite shoe if you desired, too.'
Attention to detail. Lovely. And it's nuances like this that sportscar makers are focusing on, rather than going all out to create a car specifically designed for women. Because, really, who'd want a car that had been designed solely for a woman? Remember the backlash when BIC brought out a pink pen for women? Yes, previously we'd had to ask men to write words for us…

Space for a Handbag?
When I went on my first car launch as a motoring journalist back in the early 1990s, I was asked by an old-school male hack if I was there 'to check out where to put a handbag'? His answer came as I lapped him on the racing circuit hired for the afternoon's test session but, for every handbag hook that might be needed, so will a place be to wedge a wallet. Nobody can conceive a car exclusively for ladies because, just like men, we need a steering wheel, seat, engine and all the rest.
'There's no need to pink it and shrink it,' exclaims Marek Reichman. 'And neither do you have to be a 1950s Formula One driver either. Cars today have electronic aids so you don't need to be a brute to drive them.' Incidentally, the pink Aston Martins usually go to the guys in Qatar.
Marek's most recently penned machine to hit the road is the DB11. It is one of the most exquisite pieces of metal I have ever seen – automotive haute couture. It's also the first car I've ever driven that has continuously been waved out of side roads by other drivers wanting a better look. I've never had so many friends asking for passenger rides, either.
For women drivers there have been some thoughtfully considered design enrichments – the steering wheel has been subtly shaped for a smaller hand (though you'd never feel that unless you were told), the seat adjusts for a wide range of heights to now include women in the 50th percentile (5ft 3inches) and there's a large storage box between the front seats for women to put a clutch bag – a direct request from Aston's female advisory board wanting their handbags closer than in a glove box. Two child-friendly ISOFIX-ready rear seats make it refreshingly practical, too.
Dealers, Take Note…
Aston Martin is also strongly aware that the spotlight shouldn't just be on a car when it comes to appealing to women – it should also be on the welcome women are given in a showroom and the language that's used once they're there. Men commonly want to know power and torque figures – and so do women – but the fairer sex also wants to talk about residual values and the environmental impact of the car they are considering. Women are doing a lot more research now and arming themselves with knowledge way before entering a showroom. All dealers, take note.
£157,900, 5.2-litre V12, 600bhp, 0-62mph 3.9 seconds, 200mph
One of Ferrari's most popular models for female owners is the convertible California, though it is not targeted solely in their direction.
'We want women to buy a Ferrari because they enjoy driving, not because it is specifically designed for them,' a company spokesman said. 'We produce cars that are easier to live with and easier to drive every day, and that is perhaps why more women are buying our cars, because they have to make fewer compromises in terms of driving than with some of our older models.'
That's spot-on. The California, again with a pair of child seats in the back, is another everyday sportscar that's a viable option for the school run. With the roof down, it's as easy to parallel park as a saloon car and for some, more manoeuvrable and manageable than a whacking great off-roader.
£155,254, 3.8-litre V8, 560bhp, 0-62mph 3.6 seconds, 196mph
McLaren 570GT
If you want an even more exotic machine though, then the McLaren 570GT has your name on it. With doors that open skywards and an interior from the future, it is an event on four wheels. And after just a minute behind the wheel, you'll never need a vitamin injection again.
While it looks as exquisite as a Louboutin stiletto, it's a stiletto that's been given a comfortable rubber sole. It is McLaren's most refined, luxurious and spacious (for luggage) motor car to date, and that lends itself to being a user-friendly daily drive, which widens the net to more potential buyers and therefore to more women. Other McLaren models are suited better to track driving and are often bought as third or fourth cars, whereas the 570GT's talent lies in being the one McLaren that can do a bit of everything. 'It is simple to drive,' says McLaren's Donna Falconer, Senior Manager of Global Product Strategy. 'It has the McLaren DNA of being as easy in a traffic jam as it is on a track day.'
Any timidity about sliding into the 204mph two-seater is banished by the design touches that include a slimmer door sill to assist elegant entries and exits, superb ergonomics, lashings of light from the glass roof and great forward visibility.
The gap between the perception and the reality of being able to drive such a striking car is something McLaren works hard to reduce, while elevating the ownership of supercars to the top of the list of what women want to spend their money on. 'Once women drive the 570GT, most find it easier to drive than a family car. They are reassured that the car will pootle about town and that it can open up on the road or at one of our McLaren track days, too,' Donna adds.
Italian sportscar manufacturer Maserati has launched its first ever SUV (sports utility vehicle) – the Levante – and it is the most female-oriented car on these pages. Though it only takes that title by default really, because there's no better place to see a pack of SUVs than outside the school gate, and that itself is the inevitable Mecca for mums.
Maserati's Trident badge definitely brings a sophisticated aura to the mundanity of the daily drop-off, and while other parents will admire your brand choice, inside it you can be pampered by the cabin's tailoring of Ermenegildo Zegna silk, made in Trivero by the Zegna wool mill… 'The Levante is a true and pure Maserati that has perfect on-road and off-road capabilities, offering owners the ultimate in terms of elegance, practicality and comfort of a luxury SUV,' says Giulio Pastore, Maserati Europe's General Manager.
£54,335, 3.0 V6 diesel, 275bh[, 0-62mph 6.9 seconds, 142mph
It is a bold step for the manufacturer with a rich motorsport pedigree, but it is a very logical one when you look at today's driving tastes and the rapid rise of that marketplace – Bentley and Jaguar are new to the scene, too. Looking at the bigger picture, the relationship between women and the whole car industry has come an awfully long way since naked ladies adorned sportscars at motorshows in the 1970s. Yes, they really did once.

Seeders é uma expressão em inglês e significa "semeadores".

Na internet, é um termo popularmente usado em sistemas P2P como EDonkey, GNutella e principalmente BitTorrent ao se referir a quantidades de computadores que estão compartilhando o mesmo arquivo completo no momento, portanto um seeder é quem está disposto a enviar o arquivo ao outro computador.

Quanto maior o número do seeders mais rápido poderá ser o download, pois outros fatores podem interferir como a velocidade de upload dos seeders.

A expressão ganhou uma nova dimensão com a crescente popularização de técnicas de marketing viral por parte dos grandes anunciantes, na qual se espera que os próprios consumidores divulguem um produto ou uma campanha. Nesse contexto, seeders são consumidores que iniciam os processo de marketing viral. Geralmente, são consumidores extremamente populares na internet, e que recebem algum tipo de incentivo direto ou indireto para "plantar" as mensagens do anunciante.
