2Wheel Chick: Found my wheels again !
I'm happy to say I'm now back in the swing of things after my Italian adventure. I think it was the fact that the weather had been so hot over there, that it took it out of me. Once back in ol' blighty I needed to give myself a little break before getting back to the races. It wasn't such a long break - just a couple of weeks, and I was still commuting and doing low level training. I just wasn't in the mood to beat myself up at the races. Also, from what my sports masseur said, it was a good job I didn't race as my muscles were pretty shot.
I did my first bit of racing last Monday - at Herne Hill track - got slaughtered in every race. The losing margin was less, so that was still encouraging ! Also being the only female there made it difficult to judge exactly where I was compared with my peers.
Wednesday was the women's race at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. That was a real race - frequent attacks being made, as the Agisko Viner girls were dead set on setting up one of their members for the win. It made me feel good that I was able to stay with the bunch during the various assaults being made.
I still need to work on my finish though. I sprinted for the line, but not fast enough - so only managed 13th place - still, I beat some quality riders and earned a couple of points.
We've only got one more race in this series to go, so I'm going to give it my all in the last one.
I didn't race at the weekend - just did track cycling training at Herne Hill again on Saturday, plus a hilly 60 miles around Kent with Stan.
So here we are again - a new week, and I've got track racing to look forward to tonight, plus Crystal Palace circuit racing tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be interesting. Even though it's my local course I hardly race there. It usually takes me 4 months to pluck up the courage to race on this technically scary circuit. No doubt I will be dropped, as is the case for most riders starting out on this course. I just need to see if I can survive 2 laps in the bunch - believe me, that will be an achievement !

VIDEO: Palm Beach Mansion of Stephen Ross' late uncle listed for $26 Million
Albert Hecht
The Palm Beach, Miami, estate of the late Max Fisher hit the market asking $26 million. Fisher made his fortune in oil, after he joined his father's oil reclamation business in Detroit as a salesman. His own company was formed in 1953 and in 1959, when he sold the business to Aurora Gasoline, a company Fisher would chair for 27 years, it considered to be one of the largest gas station chains in the Midwest.
Following the sale of Aurora to Marathon Oil for $40 million, Fisher invested his wealth in real estate. The smart businessman was also an uncle to Stephen Ross, founder Related Companies, the largest owner of luxury residential rental properties in New York. Related develops, acquires, owns and operates properties in the United States and internationally.
Fisher reportedly financed Ross' higher education and Ross later paid him back.
After retiring from business in 1963 Fisher sat on the board of investment bank Comerica, Sotheby's, and United Brands. Fisher supported Jewish and general causes worldwide and played a major role in almost every major Jewish communal organization.
Fisher also served as a trusted advisor to U.S. presidents and Israeli prime ministers and actually opened a new era in American Jewish political activism.
In 2005, the year he died, he ranked as the oldest member of the Forbes 100 with a net worth of $775 million. [WSJ]
Fisher and his wife Marjorie Fisher, owned a home at 920 North Lake Way and a guest house across the street at 931 North Lake Way. Marjorie Fisher died in June. Both are on sale.
The 9, 841-square-foot home, on the Intracoastal Waterway, is listed for $19, 950, 000 and the 5, 780-square-foot guest house is asking $6.2 million. Son Philip Fisher told the Real Deal . Corcoran agents Jim McCann, Suzanne Frisbie and Allison Wren are listing the homes.

Good books are like old friends. When you find one that just gets you it's impossible to put it down. That's how I felt about Neverwhere. I read this book a little bit ago, but loved it dearly! Did you ever read or see the movie Stardust? It's written by the same author.
The story centers around Richard Mayhew. A nice guy who stops to help a girl bleeding in the street. The girl is Door and Door is being chased by assassins. He assists her and then she is gone. After helping the girl Richard discovers that he has become invisible and soon loses his job and his home.
He travels to the London underground in search of Door to figure out how to put his life back in order. Only to discover that maybe life isn't better the way it was.
This is the type of book that I am always searching for. Okay I will admit it... I love Sci Fi novels/shows/books. I mean I am not going to Comic-Con and I don't own a Darth Vader helmet, I am not that extreme. I just think Sci Fi stuff (specifically novels) can be such a great escape from reality.
i want to borrow this book soon. i have to finish the hunger games series, and then catch up with olympian series books... then that is my next go!!! wheeeee!!
i have a bunch of my Mimi's old hankerchiefs that i need to make into a quilt.... want to help me conceptualize the project soon?
Hey Sweets, you know I would love to do that!! Just let me know when!


Japan's Kohei Uchimura competes on the pommel horse on the third day of the 2015 World Gymnastics Championships at the Hydro Arena in Glasgow on October 25, 2015.
Defending men's all-around champion Kohei Uchimura powered Japan ahead of arch rivals China to lead qualifying and book their ticket to the 2016 Olympics at the world gymnastics championships on Monday.
Led by Uchimura and newcomer Kazuma Kaya, the Japanese men qualified for Wednesday's team final in first place, nearly two points ahead of their Chinese rivals.
Uchimura fell during his floor routine on the first of two days of qualifying but that did not prevent him from achieving the highest all-around score over all six events with 90.654 points, as Japan also topped the team event with 358.884 to China's 357.027.
The top eight teams in qualifying also booked their ticket to the Rio Olympics.
"At the beginning of the exercise it was fine, but at the end, I couldn't perform as I had wished," said Uchimura, who won world floor gold in 2011.
The 26-year-old Uchimura and Japan are determined to win a first team gold in 37 years in Glasgow's Hydro Arena on Wednesday night.
Uchimura has won five Olympic medals including the 2012 all-around gold, and 16 world medals - seven in gold - but the only title missing is the team title with the Chinese winning 10 of the last 11 world titles.
China have also won two Olympic gold medals ahead of Japan and last year's world title was decided by just one tenth of a point.
"It's hard to say what we need to do to beat the Chinese in the team competition, because it's never happened to me," said Uchimura, who has given the quest for team gold precedent over his bid for a sixth consecutive all-around title on Friday.
"If we knew what we needed to do, we would do it." Ukraine's Oleg Verniaiev qualified second best for the all-around just 0.433 behind Uchimura with Britain's Daniel Purvis third best.
Deng Shudi led China and ranked fifth all-around, although he fell in the first rotation on pommel horse.
Great Britain qualified third (354.417) with Russia (352.692), the United States (350.332), Switzerland (350.127), Brazil (349.057) and South Korea (346.166) completing the top eight for the finals.
In the women's event, Simone Biles will lead Olympic champions the United States in their bid to defend their team title in the Hydro Arena on Tuesday.
The US women topped qualifying, with two-time defending all-around women's champion Biles leading the way in the vault, beam and floor to top the all-around individual competition.
Biles, 18, will be joined by US teammates including Olympic all-around champion Gabrielle Douglas and Olympic floor champion Alexandra Raisman, who both fell during qualifying, in a bid to win gold.
"We've just been going for so long and I think we needed a bit of a mental break, so that's where a lot of our mistakes came into play," said Biles.
"But once we get a little mental break, I think we'll be good," added the Texan, who finished ahead of Swiss Giulia Steingruber and Douglas in qualifying for Thursday's all-around final.
Russia, the 2014 bronze medallists, qualified in second position, topping the Americans on uneven bars despite struggling on the floor with newcomer Seda Tutkhalian their top all-rounder.
Great Britain qualified in third ahead of 2014 silver medallists China. Also challenging for medals are Japan, Canada and the Netherlands, who qualified for the Olympic Games for the first time since 1976.

ECE Senior Nick Mannoni receives IEEE Power & Energy Society Scholarship Plus Initiative scholarship.
Two hundred and thirty (210) PES Scholarship recipients were selected from the 548 individuals who applied for the scholarship. These undergraduate students are majoring in electrical engineering, are high achievers with strong GPAs with distinctive extracurricular commitments and are committed to exploring the power and energy field. These scholarships are made possible due to the generous donations of individuals and corporations to the IEEE Power & Energy Society Scholarship Fund of the IEEE Foundation.
Steve Warren, ECE, presented an invited seminar Oct.10 at the University of North Florida College of Computing, Engineering and Construction. He also met with local high school administrators to discuss technology to aid children with disabilities.
Due to substantial increases in college tuition, students today experience major financial challenges compared to previous years. Mark and Brenda Brown wanted to ease some of these trials for students earning a higher education.
Mark graduated from Kansas State University in 1982 with a degree in electrical engineering, while Brenda graduated from University of Missouri – Kansas City in 1988 with a degree in finance. Currently, Mark is a member of K-State's department of electrical and computer engineering (ECE) advisory council. Mark said pursuing electrical engineering was one of his best life-decisions.
Mark and Brenda aspired to help students complete their education and reach career goals, while giving back to the department that significantly impacted Mark's life. Mark and Brenda established multiple funds supporting students and faculty in the department of electrical and computer engineering.
"We wanted to pay back to the institution that afforded us those opportunities and pay forward to others in the Kansas State University family who will follow," Mark said.
Mark and Brenda were inspired to create a professorship, scholarship and excellence fund after witnessing the impact of the Brown Family Scholarship, which was established in 2012 by Mark, Brenda, Mark's brother, Mike, and his wife, Pam. The scholarship is awarded to students in Chase County where Mark and Mike grew up.
Mark initially wanted to pursue a degree in computer science until his brother, Mike, K-State graduate in chemical engineering, exposed him to the field of engineering. Mark chose his career path after recognizing the close association between computers and electrical engineering, which share similarities with digital design and microprocessors. Mark specialized in the field of embedded computing.
Mark and Brenda hope to encourage students to succeed, but also want them to enjoy their college experience. Creating these funds will allow students and faculty at K-State to realize greater opportunities while earning essential support.


For the program's controversy involving Donald Trump, see Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape.
Access, formerly Access Hollywood, is an American weekday television entertainment news program that premiered on September 9, 1996. It covers events and celebrities in the entertainment industry. It was created by former Entertainment Tonight executive producer Jim Van Messel, and is currently produced by Robert Silverstein and directed by Richard Plotkin. In previous years, Doug Dougherty, Christopher A. Berry and Kim Anastasia directed the program. Access primarily focuses on news in the music, television, and film industries.
Logo used from 2007 to 2015.
Last logo used as Access Hollywood, from 2015 to 2017.
Access Hollywood has aired nationally on various local stations, most of them affiliates of NBC, in the United States since September 9, 1996. It was previously produced by NBC Studios and has changed distributors over the years, first with New World/Genesis Distribution, then 20th Television (after News Corporation bought New World), followed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution who still distributes the show today via barter ad-sales, and then to NBC Enterprises when the network started up its own syndication division. Today, NBCUniversal Television Distribution, in association with NBC's owned-and-operated station KNBC has been solely responsible for its production and distribution since 2004. Warner Bros. continues its involvement with the program by having responsibilities for barter ad sales for Access Hollywood.
On September 7, 2010, Access Hollywood began broadcasting in high definition. On May 1, 2012, NBCUniversal Television Distribution announced it would renew Access Hollywood for three additional years through the 2014-15 season.
The program changed its name to simply Access on December 11, 2017.
AH Nation, which is a viewer's choice allowing a choice of which stories will be carried in the show.
In Case You Missed It, a recap of the previous night/weekend in pop culture, including film, television and music.
Watch This, suggestion segment of films and shows to watch by the show's correspondents and critics.
The Final 45, a closing credits segment with a quick rundown of the day's news.
Access Express, a segment matching the defunct Entertainment Tonight segment "Real or Rumor?" where stories are confirmed or debunked.
In 2005, Access Hollywood went on a month-long roadtrip called Access Across America while the studio underwent a major overhaul. The show's new set was done in pastel colors with a modern flair, separating its look from other similar shows, including rival Entertainment Tonight. The new look also included a brand-new graphics package. Access Hollywood is taped at Studio 1 at The Burbank Studios (formerly NBC Studios) in Burbank, former home of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Currently with Days of Our Lives, it was one of two remaining NBC-produced programs as of 2014 originating from Burbank; Access Hollywood moved to Universal City and Universal Studios Hollywood in 2015 as NBC's operations continue to combine in Universal City.
The program has had some short-lived spinoffs in the last few years, including AMC Access for the AMC channel, and Real Access (the first teen-oriented entertainment news program, and the only attempt so far at an entertainment news program aimed at teens on television) for The N and Nickelodeon. The network most recently produced the African-American oriented TV One Access for the TV One cable channel. The programs formerly did entertainment segments for NBC's cable news channel titled Access MSNBC, though these have been withdrawn as MSNBC's news coverage has become mainly political.
A spinoff of Access Hollywood, called Access Hollywood Live, debuted on September 13, 2010 in high definition. The daytime talk show, hosted by Kit Hoover and Scott Evans (Evans also serves as a correspondent on the flagship program), features entertainment news stories and in-studio guests. The program was initially seen only on NBC owned-and-operated stations in six markets and Fox owned-and-operated stations in six other major markets, all on stations that already carry the flagship series; since September 2011, the program also began being distributed to non-network owned stations that also carry the flagship series. The show airs live at 11:00am ET (8:00am in Los Angeles where the studios are located). The show changed its name to Access Live on December 11, 2017.
Access Live was originally recorded at NBC Studios in Burbank, California. The show currently airs from, 10 Universal City Plaza in Universal City, California where it has been recorded since June 2015. On occasion, the program does some shows on location outside Studio 1A in Rockefeller Center, in New York City on The Today Show plaza. On May 1, 2012, along with Access Hollywood's renewal for three additional seasons, NBCUniversal Television Distribution announced it would give Access Hollywood Live a third season renewal for the 2012-13 season.
In Canada, Rogers Media's OMNI Television airs the US version of Access Live while independent station CHCH began airing the half hour weekday US version in fall 2014; Bell Media channel CTV Two used to air the half hour weekday US version since fall 2011 but it was discontinued in 2013.
The United Kingdom version began in 2003 hosted by Kate Garraway and Vincent.
There was a short-lived national version for the Republic of Ireland on the TV3 Group's defunct Channel 6 hosted by Jenny Buckley from 2006.
The show was parodied in the show Arthur in the special Arthur, It's Only Rock N' Roll when a spoof named Access Elwood interviewed the band U Stink.
In the South Park episode "Free Hat", a show airs called "Excess Hollywood" with a look-alike of then host Pat O'Brien.
The show is also parodied in the sitcom BoJack Horseman as "Excess Hollywood", later renamed to "Excess Hollywoo" after BoJack steals the D from the Hollywood Sign.
Craig Ferguson often parodies Access Hollywood on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in a segment called Access Extratainment Tonight (a portmanteau of Access Hollywood, Extra and Entertainment Tonight) with Ferguson as "Barney Slash".
In The Simpsons Movie, the show is mentioned in an argument between Homer and Marge.
In The Simpsons episode Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder, when (then) hosts Pat O'Brien and Nancy O'Dell guest star as hosts of Access Springfield.

Fulham and Dempsey face 'very awkward situation'
by Soccer America , Aug 18, 2012
[AMERICANS ABROAD] Fulham manager Martin Jol backtracked a bit on his criticism of U.S. star Clint Dempsey, who wants out at Craven Cottage. Jol, who admitted he was a bit harsh, could afford to be in a conciliatory mood on Saturday. Fulham opened the 2012-13 season with a 5-0 win over Norwich City.
"To say he refused to play is probably a bit harsh," said Jol, "but he wanted to move and if you want to move, you don't want to take risks so you don't want to play in case you get an injury. So for me that was a very awkward situation and it was for him as well."
Jol added that what made the situation particularly awkward was Fulham had received no offers for Dempsey.
The Dutchman came to Dempsey's defense after Fulham fans celebrated the fifth goal against Norwich by chanting, "Are you watching, Clint Dempsey?"
"I don't want to hear the fans were chanting against him because he was a terrific player for us," Jol said. "He was the most productive midfield player in the whole league last season."
Jol held out hope Dempsey would return for the final year of his contract.
"Hopefully he will play for us again," the Fulham manager added. "There is one season to go, and no one has come in for him."
Dempsey had previously stated he wanted to move to a team that will play in the Champions League, but he finds himself trying to move during one of the most depressed periods on the international transfer market in recent years.
Many clubs are trying to unload players with big contracts but not are getting any takers or potential buyers are holding out to see how low sellers will go.
EPL clubs mentioned as possible destinations for Dempsey have included Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool, but they have all been making other moves in recent weeks.
Everton signed Belgium forward Kevin Mirallas from Greece's Olympiakos on Sunday.
5 comments about "Fulham and Dempsey face 'very awkward situation'".
Bill Anderson, August 19, 2012 at 12:15 p.m.
Aguero just went down for Man City. Dempsey could fill a very important hole in that lineup starting next weekend.
Robert Robertson, August 20, 2012 at 9:32 a.m.
best wishes for Clint. Personally, I hoping Arsenal takes him.
John Caine, August 20, 2012 at 11:16 a.m.
Dream on... Man City doesn't need him, neither wants him. Arsenal is too big for Dempsey. He is just a regular EPL player, otherwise offers would have come by now. HIs fate is to pay for opening his big mouth and be benched untile the manager wants him back.
David Mont, August 20, 2012 at 1:40 p.m.
I can't have any sympathy, regardless of the circumstances, for anyone who signs a contract and then refuses to play. Dempsey had a very good season last year, but he's no Messi or Rooney -- I think it went a bit to his head. He had a very good situation at Fulham, which he has apparently ruined now, and I don't think he's the Arsenal or Man City caliber of player.
Jack vrankovic, August 20, 2012 at 9:49 p.m.
He is not a slave. If he chooses not to play, he doesn't get paid. It seems a bit foolish to do so if he has not received concrete legitimate offers. I think he could easily play at Tottenham or Liverpool. If he really wanted to play in the Champion's League, he would stay at Fulham until his contract expires and then sign a contract with a C.L. team in a "lesser" league. Plenty of Brazilians and Dario Srna don't mind playing at Shakhtar for a reason.

I recently picked up an 85 cr250. I knew all about the magnesium clutch side cover long before I bought the bike. The cover looked perfect on the outside so i figured it had been replaced. Well it was replaced not with the newer aluminum style but with another magnesium cover. My guess is someone had a nos cover left over when it was replaced. Right now the cover is off the bike. I needed to look at the kickstarter and i thought the water pump seal might be leaking. The case looks very good on the inside of the water pump area.
So here is my question, how long do you think the case should last. Will using waterless coolant make it last longer. I know it will eventually rot out but how long are we talking about. 5 years 10 years, 20? What do you guys think? This bike I'm planning on keeping for a while should i buy tne aluminium cover for the future.
You think there might be some kind of coating you could apply on it to protect it from rotting out? Just a thought. I myself don't know of one but maybe some else here has some experience and may know of something.
I did some research today on the 89 parts. For everything i would need new im looking at $250- $275 . You need the inner case, outer case , kickstarter seal, waterpump seals and bearing, alignment pins, oil fill cap, another plug and a 4 gaskets.
Well, in that case, if I had a mag alloy cover that was relatively corrosion free, I would just run the waterless coolant. Are you replacing your hoses? The water fittings on the '83 sidecover were mag alloy also! That's a place where moisture sits, between the hose and barb. Anyway, check those too and chip away any corrosion on the mag alloy.with a dental pick.
Were you seeing a drip through the weep hole? Is that why you thought it was leaking?
I don't know if this will work on your bike, but for our antique tractors there is a thing we put in with distilled water and it's like an epoxy type thing that coats all surfaces. It will seal leaking radiators and other parts that corrode. It's a corrosion inhibitor I think.
Gearbox oil was milky. When I pulled the water pump apart you could tell the seal was bad. I don't think it was a bad leak but was still leaking.
Sounds right. It should be straightforward to replace the parts. Probably means the water seal and the oil seal were bad.
Replaced them last night . Didn't quite get it all back together , about 30 minutes more work and she will be ready to test out. I'm glad I pulled the cover. I found a piece had broken off the arm that controls the ATAC exhaust valve. It was sitting on the bottom of the case. If it had made it into the gears the transmission would have been destroyed.
I read the ATAC doesn't really affect porting like a power valve? It opens an exhaust chamber at low rpm? My '83 doesn't have that. I think '84 and '85 had them then Honda changed in '86 to a different concept?
84 and 85 had the ATAC, 86 had the power port. The bike runs just fine with the ATAC not working, it was more of a sales gimmick than functional.
in my old 85 cr500 magnisem cover i cleaned it all in the water pasages and pump cover and epoxied everything so it can not corode any more.
i have heard of guys draining the coolant between rides in order to limit corosion.

NMR spectroscopic characterization of inclusion complexes of hydroxy-substituted naphthalenes with native and modified β-cyclodextrins
Yoshimi Sueishi, Naoya Inazumi, Tadashi Hanaya
Institute for Education and Student Services
The equilibrium constants (K) for the inclusion complexation of three kinds of β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs: native β-CD, heptakis(2,6-di-O- methyl)-β-CD, and 6-O-α-d-glucosyl-β-CD) with OH-substituted naphthalenes (2-naphthol, 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene, and 2,6- dihydroxynaphthalene) were determined from the induced chemical shifts of NMR measurements for inclusion complexes: K = 188-1,250 mol-1 dm 3. The modified β-CDs form stable 1:1 inclusion complexes with OH-substituted naphthalenes, and the high stability of inclusion complexes of 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene having a hydrophobic body and hydrophilic ends is shown. In addition, the structures of inclusion complexes were characterized by 2D ROESY NMR measurements. The differences in the structure of the inclusion complexes were observed for three kinds of naphthol guest molecules. Based on the results, the inclusion abilities enhanced by methylation of the OH groups at the CD rim or the side chain of branched β-CD are discussed.

Meet a Veteran Defender
Posted on September 7, 2010 by Richard Bartholomew
Staying with Loonwatch, a new article at the site notes the existence of Veteran Defenders of America, an newish outgrowth of ACT! For America (it was announced in May, although its website carries a 2008 dateline). There's a quote from "Richard Van Waes, founder and operating chair person", who explains that:
Quite simply, unlike any period in our long history, our freedoms are in jeopardy. Our domestic borders have been silently invaded with people who intend to harm us. There are thousands of terrorists and terror cells within the United States borders who have one goal as their agenda – the destruction of America as we know it. This simply cannot take place.
…You, as a veteran, have training, skills and experience that uniquely enable you to respond to our government's message that encourages family and community preparedness, citizen awareness and service to our families and our communities.
The "honorary chairman" of the advisory council is retired Maj. General Paul E. Vallely. However, aside from him, Van Waes, and of course ACT!'s Brigitte Gabriel, details of who else may be involved are scarce.
From googling around, though, one other name has come up: a certain ex-Navy man named Gerard Keenan. According to his Facebook profile:
Mr. Keenan is a founding member and press officer of the non-profit IC-HUMINT (Intelligence Community-Human Intelligence) organization based in Scotland & Netherlands (being relocated to Israel) (www.ic-humint.net)… and is a member of ACT America, Long Island Chapter (American Congress for Truth), NY State Sheriff's Association Institute, US Navy Fleet Reserve Association, the Liberty Counsel, and Veteran Defenders of America.
It seems more likely that Keenan is a paying member of VDA rather than involved at an operational level, but the association is worth noting as I've come across "IC-HUMINT" previously: this was in 2006, when it announced a brief association with Dominic Wightman's "VIGIL Network". At that time, IC-HUMINT carried a very weird notice about "a global network to form an army to fight the Evil-World to come and to serve for the glory of Jerusalem, the city of GOD!" In 2007, this was replaced with a profile of Keenan (also known as Jerry Keenan) and a list of associate members, although "only those that have requested to be included" were provided. The list included the SAS, the Israeli Defence Forces, and British Intelligence. The reference to VIGIL disappeared, and at the VIGIL website any association with IC-HUMINT was denied.
Earlier versions of the now-removed IC-HUMINT website (see on Wayback here and here) give Keenan as the "Press Officer" and a certain Sean Elias as in charge of "Oversight"; a UK mobile phone number was given as contact for Elias. According to a potted history from a 2004 version of the site,
During the many years of real time experiences we have built a large contact group with official gov/mil members, contracts and various associates from all over the world. To be able to better serve and maintain this exclusive group, several members of the 'British American Friends' have centralized this group online and called it the IC-HUMINT Group.
A later version has the tagline "Monitored by the British American Friends © 2005". The history goes on to explain that the group was founded in 1991 in North Africa, and that group members were then sent "to former Yugoslavia, Kosovo and Belgrado" as well as to "the Baltics States, Romania and Russia" . From 1997 a secured online presence was established, called the World Security Net, but following "several mass attacks" on the network it was decided to "disclose the entire section" and to change the name to IC-HUMINT. A look through various old forums brings up a certain "Steve" as the liason officer, and Elias described himself as "Head of Operations" at World Security Net (very little on Wayback). Keenan also runs "GPKeenan Co. Int'l Security Services" as a subsidiary of an outfit called Executive Assets (old Geocities website on Wayback here).
Although the IC-HUMINT dotnet website appears to be defunct, visiting a dotcom version of site brings up an empty page titled "Camp Joshua 2010" for a moment before the broken link page again appears. A few automatic sites have captured the phrase "CAMP JOSHUA 2010. Service Verification Jerusalem 2010", whatever that might mean.
Of course, there is no indication that the VDA has any interest in any of this. However, the VDA website does carry an advert for a 2010 "Spy Cruise" organised by Vallely's own Stand up America organisation, at which former CIA operatives and directors are billed as speakers.

In the Valley (1890) is a historical novel by Anglo-American novelist Harold Frederic. It is set in the United States in the Mohawk Valley and in Albany, New York, from 1757 to 1777.

Plot
A Mohawk Valley Dutchman finds himself pitted against a brilliant villain,  a British officer, who for a time wins the affections of the heroine who has been thrown among "Tories" and British but steadfastly loyal to her native colony, though in the end he loses her to the less-worldly though courageous and honorable Douw Mauverensen, who is historian as well as hero of the tale. The climax of the book is the Battle of Oriskany.

The book adheres to the New York tradition, early set down in Irving and Cooper, of respect for Dutch prudence, suspicion of British perfidy and active prejudice against all New Englanders, particularly those from Connecticut. There are also faithful black slaves and ferocious Indians.

Background
Frederic said years of preparation went to the making of the book, which is full of erudition regarding life in the Mohawk Valley and in Albany from 1757 to 1777.

Evaluation and analysis
In the Valley is representative of the historical novels which, during the later years of the 19th century in the United States, contended, for a time successfully, with the prevailing vogue of realism. It accepts conventions of its genre but goes beyond them in respects, for it lacks the customary tinsel of archaisms and pretensions and is not always sentimental. Frederic, later distinguished by his energetic naturalism, was in this romance prophetically spare and terse.

During the time period in question the diverse nationalities of the region were drawing together into a common Americanism. For them it was both a civil and a foreign war; the battle of Oriskany, by checking the British and Indians, not only left the valley in the hands of the colonials but also prevented the junction of St. Leger and Burgoyne and so contributed to the decision reached at Saratoga.

In the Valley, compact and dramatic throughout, comes to its fitting climax with the fight at Oriskany.

What is Montessori?
Interesting Reading
In 1989, Miss Linda co-purchased and began directing and teaching in her own Montessori school after having taught Montessori preschool for the previous 8 years. The small school in Menlo Park quickly grew and expanded as her reputation as a fun, loving and caring teacher became known throughout the neighborhood. In 2003, her daughter, Louanne, "officially" joined the staff and became the office adminstrator, taking care of the day-to-day operations. Shortly thereafter, Miss Linda and Miss Louanne decided to open their own school closer to their homes in Mountain View and Los Altos, together...
Miss Linda has been working in the childcare field for over 35 years. Prior to becoming a preschool teacher, she was a nurse as well as a home daycare provider. She holds degrees in both nursing and early childhood education as well as her Montessori Credential. Having raised three children, she now spends her free time with her 13 grandchildren. Her love for children and her infectious joy have made her a favorite teacher for hundreds of children in the Bay Area.
Miss Louanne, daughter of Miss Linda, previously spent 11 years working for her mother at her Menlo Park preschool before embarking on the new adventure of opening a new school. While raising her four children, it was the perfect place to both work and spend time watching her children learn, grow and explore the world around them. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Miss Louanne has been working in education for the last 18 years. She holds a degree in Sociology as well as her early childhood education units.
At Mountain View-Los Altos Montessori, our staff is made up of caring, well-educated and loving teachers who look forward to coming to work everyday. They have their early childhood education credentials, and many have their Montessori teaching credentials. They are also certified in First Aid and CPR.

Our client was a specialist music magazine called re:spect. The magazine's slogan was 'Every page of re:spect is about music'. We wanted to demonstrate the truth of this in a way that would attract new readers.
First we launched a recruitment campaign in magazines and facebook groups, asking for ideas about how to make music from a piece of paper. Participants could use any part of re:spect magazine – tear out a page, rip it, scratch it, blow it, tap it or do whatever they could think of to create sounds from the paper. Readers were invited to show their ideas in a video and send it to re:spect.
The best workable ideas would be used for a live "Paper Music Concert" which re:spect would organize and film as a viral video to spread via the Internet.
Following the recruitment campaign, the re:spect facebook page was flooded with requests for details of the project. Music lovers kept uploading creative videos to the group page provoking a torrent of comments.
The 35 selected performers in the viral video drew a massive responses from the social networks. More than 16,000 "likes" were recorded on facebook. It also aroused the interest of the mass media, attracted support from artists and singers and gained hundreds of new readers for the magazine!
Hong Kong is a tough place for music lovers. There are lots of music magazines, but they're all just packed with gossip about pop stars, with nothing about actual music. Fortunately there is one magazine that respects real music and real music lovers. Of course, it's called re:spect. 'Every page is about music'. That's their motto and they live up to it.
Our objective was to let music lovers know about this magazine and encourage them to become readers.
The main challenge appeared in the Music Video shooting stage.
The paper-players are the readers themselves, we needed to give them sufficient practice and clear guidance.

This, the wise amongst you would have figured out, is not a review. It is a capsule damnation of the practice of labelling the immensely talented Hindi film industry as "Bollywood" - a shamelessly derived name. I have fought long and hard against the practice of using this slur but even industry insiders seem to have regressed into the colonial mindset of happily adopting a bastardized name. In Zoya Akhtar's "Luck By Chance" Dimple Kapadia's character sternly states that "We are the Hindi film industry, not Bollywood" - that verbalized sentiment is an oasis of genuine pride and sense amidst an ocean of morons. In the name of brevity, self-respect has been butchered. 'What's in a name', you ask? Why not give yourself the surname of "Donkey", and take it from there ?
For optimal display, please read this on a desktop/laptop, not a mobile. Thank you.

Quite big for me but nothing tucked in can't fix. The material is thinner than I expected but it's still comfortable. It actually amazes me how it doesn't get crumpled easily despite the fabric being a bit thin.


As many of you may already know, Leo has been fed a vegan diet since just before Christmas. When I wrote about his veganism (read post here), the comments all expressed concern for his well-being. Since writing the post, not only have I done some further research into vegan cats, but Leo has had to have several trips to the vets due to an injury, which gave us the opportunity to discuss his diet earlier than we'd planned.
Before switching him to vegan food, I had done a lot of research online, but finding any concrete evidence either for or against cats being vegan was difficult. I'd read many stories about cats (and other companion animals) thriving on vegan diets, but that's obviously anecdotal rather than fact-based. Whilst I have still not found any scientific studies, I did find an article written by a veterinary specialist. You can read this on The Vegan Society website here, but essentially the article supports what had been my own thoughts on the matter – that it is the nutrients a cat needs from their diet rather than a particular type of food.
Now to the Leo-specific health-update. Leo was bitten by another cat a couple of weeks ago (read his diary entries here, here and here if you'd like to learn more!). This meant several vet trips.
We had originally planned to discuss Leo's diet with the vet next week when he will be going for his annual booster jabs. However, the fact he was having to spend a day at the vets anyway (to have his wound cleaned) gave us the perfect opportunity to ask for them to do full blood tests. I told the vet we'd recently changed his diet and asked if they could check his nutrient levels, although I didn't mention at this stage that we'd changed him to vegan food. She said they couldn't test nutrients, but could do full blood tests to ensure all his organs are working correctly and that there are no other health problems.
Over the next few visits (he's been three times since his injury), two different vets have thoroughly checked him over. He has been weighed and had his temperature taken (much to his displeasure).
Everything has shown that he is perfectly healthy.
In fact, he has put on weight, which the vet says is good at his age (I should point out we have no way of knowing whether this weight-gain is a result of his vegan diet, as he had not been weighed since his last vet trip nearly a year ago). I was surprised that the vet was pleased with his weight-gain, as every time he's been to the vet since being a tiny kitten we've been told he was overweight!
His wound healed at a normal rate, which again supports the fact he is healthy. Based on its healing, the vet thought it must have been there for a week before we found it, although, based on his behaviour, I'm pretty confident the injury happened no more than four or five days before we found it, as that was when he became skittish and out of sorts.
When we told the vet we'd switched him to vegan food she was surprisingly fine with the idea. She said that usually the main thing cats get from meat is a specific type of protein, but that if we're using a specialist vegan cat food, it should contain all the nutrients he needs. She double checked the blood test results for his protein levels and confirmed they are normal. She didn't seem at all concerned about his health or diet.
We asked about checking his urine ph, as this is something that my online research had suggested, as a vegan diet can cause a cat's urine to become too alkaline, especially in male cats. He will be having this checked at his jab appointment next week, assuming we can get some wee in the pipette after using the special litter the vet has given us! Our vets do free urine checks for cats, although it looks like there are a lot of home-test kits available online, which might be easier if he doesn't need to go for anything else as often as it needs testing. She said to test his urine two or three times a year. This may coincide with his blood tests, as we're planning to have those every six months or so unless the vet thinks they need doing more or less frequently. I'll be discussing how often to do his blood tests when I see the vet at his booster appointment next week.
I'll provide another update in a few weeks when we should have the results of his urine tests, but I thought everyone who has been sending loving thoughts his way would like to know how he's doing on his vegan diet.
P.S. A final thought that I completely forgot to mention in the original post about him being vegan. He has only ever been fed proper meat that was not part of commercially-produced cat food once. This was when he was given some plain turkey a few Christmases ago at my boyfriend's parents' house. He threw it up all over her antique teddy, pretty much undigested, so it clearly didn't agree with him!

Q: application Name for use with Azure KeyVault: Do I need an Azure Application to use Azure Keyvault? I am trying to run GetAppConfigSettings.ps1 from the example in Microsoft Docs
The script asks me to supply values for
vaultName
resourceGroupName
applicationName
location

I am stuck on applicationName
I want my application to run locally in Visual Studio.
I do want to use Azure KeyVault for encryption
What do I set up for the applicationName ?
I did start to add an Application to the Azure directory but it required a Redirect URI
The tooltip mentions that this is "The URI to which Microsoft Azure AD will redirect in response to an OAuth 2.0 request. The value does not need to be a physical endpoint, but must be a valid URI.
If I do need to set up an application so that I can have an application name to give to Key vault, what do I put in the Redirect URI given that I am writing a console application to run on my own pc.
I am choosing Native for the application type since the help for Application type mentions
"Choose "Web app/API" to add an application that represents a web application, a web API, or both. Choose "Native" to add an application that can be installed on a user's device or computer.
So I guess Native = Edge and Web = Cloud
The script still fails maybe I need to do something about a self signed certificate.
It seems before I can use Key Vault I need to understand Azure Applications even though I am not writing one
And before I can understand Azure Applications I need to understand Self Signing Certificates

A: Well in order to access KV your app will need to be registered in AD as an application, where you will define the shared ID and client secret. You need to go through that process.  App name is the name there.
Redirect URI is irrelevant, just add some valid URI like http://somedomain.com/appnane
Your app will need the client ID and secret to connect to KV. If I recall rightly you can do this easily based on sample code but it needs an AD nuget for the token and nuget for KV SDK

Tonight, I had the pleasure of discovering that it is possible to bake cookies that are both chewy and delicious, even if you have nary an ounce of butter in the house.
I'll always remember an episode of Paula Deen where she confesses that she feels nervous whenever she has less than a pound of butter in the fridge. So funny. That's exactly how my sister and I feel about eggs — when the carton dwindles down to the last two or three, we get a little uneasy.
It's good to have a few go-to recipes when you're out of staples. Out of flour? You could whip up a flourless chocolate cake or some peanut butter cookies. Out of eggs? Make this eggless carrot cake. Out of butter, but craving cookies? I used to turn to these no-butter snickerdoodles, but as of now, I have another I-can't-believe-it's-not-butter favorite.
I love those snickerdoodles to death, but they're so crunchy that I always thought that it was simply impossible to achieve a truly chewy texture in cookies made with oil rather than butter.
Before I could answer she plunged her free hand into my pockets, first left, then right, and triumphantly retrieved the chocolate biscuits. "My favorites. Come on. Let's dump your coat and you can start in the kitchen. I hope you're not a whiner."
Ooh, I'd be so mad at that girl for taking my chocolate biscuits. What kind of person does that?
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with tin foil. Mix all ingredients until well combined, and roll into 1.5 inch balls. Roll each ball in the sugar and place on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand. This recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies. Bake for 9 or 10 minutes, if you want them to be chewy. Remember, it's better to underbake than overbake.
You know what I love? The free goodies that restaurants sometimes provide to whet your appetite as you think about what to order. Sometimes you'll be lucky enough to get something that beats the pants off your average bread basket...and in my opinion, you can't get much better than the Cheddar Bay biscuits from Red Lobster. The brown bread at Cheesecake Factory and Marie Callender's cornbread come close.
"There is no one of-woman-born who does not like Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar and a Socialist."
True that, Tina. Sadly, I'm pretty sure no one takes me seriously when I tell them I wish to someday dine at The Red Lobster in Times Square. Perhaps most people over the age of 12 simply find it too mortifying to dine at an establishment with a gigantic revolving red lobster right above the entrance.
Alas, until I can finagle someone into accompanying me to an actual RL, I guess Bisquick's cheddar garlic biscuit mix will have to do. They really are quite successful at approximating the real deal; I used to make them in college all the time. Just add water! I think Tina Fey would approve.
Bookworms can be shallow, too.
Reading is generally accepted as an intellectual and productive way to pass one's time, but those of us who do quite a bit of reading know that this isn't always the case. It can certainly be a wonderfully self-indulgent, epicurean pursuit...for why else would we do it as often as we do? I exploited this misconception when I was younger, when my parents were always more than happy to let me spend hours reading on the couch — even if I was just catching up with Elizabeth and Jessica of Sweet Valley High. On trips to the library, my dad let me load the bag up with whatever I wanted, whether it was R.L. Stine or Charles Dickens. Who cared? As long as it was a book.
Now, I appreciate creative, literary genius as much as the next English major, but I have to admit that I can be very shallow about books, at least before I get to know them. I like to judge them by their covers, the font, the thickness of their pages, and sometimes even how they smell. I also find myself drawn to such trivial details as how many times the author mentions a favorite food of mine. The following two excerpts are taken from books that were average reads. And yet, the fact that they mentioned eggs somehow helped raise them in my eyes by, oh, half a star on a rating scale of 1 to 5. What can I say? Taste in books is very subjective.
"There," he said, handing it to Philip, "You can eat my top if you like."
Philip would have liked an egg to himself, but he was not offered one, so took what he could.
When they got into the flat, Dud said he was so hungry he could eat the rocking horse — he began, indeed, to gnaw on it — and then suddenly everyone was starving, and Iris and Joyce were making toast and frying eggs in the kitchen: extraordinary eggs, which no sooner broke and were in the pan than they were cooked, so that even when they were dishing them up and handing them out (Joyce still with her cat gloves on) the girls were calling everyone to come and look at the extraordinary eggs that cooked in an instant. The eggs, taken into the lounge and eaten with salt and dry toast, seemed delicious.

Q: Movimento dos fantasmas em pacman Estou a desenvolver um projeto em vb.net que se trata da minha tentativa de criar o pacman com movimentação de pictureboxes.
Estou próximo de terminar, mas tenho uma grande dificuldade que é definir o movimento dos fantasmas.
Pelo que percebo, ele divide-se em três fases: 1. Movimento aleatório simples, em que se deteta colisões com paredes e define uma nova direção aleatória para se mover; 2. Perseguição ao pacman quando está próximo; 3. Fuga do pacman (quando o pacman consome um "energizer")
Ainda só tenho uma tentativa de código para o movimento 1., com base no que encontrei em pesquisas:
Dim movement As ghostmovement
Dim currentLocation As Point
Dim ghostCurrentLocation As Point
Dim random As New Random
 Enum ghostmovement
        up = 1
        down = 2
        left = 3
        right = 4
    End Enum
    Private Sub ghosttimer_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ghosttimer.Tick
        Select Case movement
            Case ghostmovement.up
                ghost.Top = ghost.Top - 2
            Case ghostmovement.down
                ghost.Top = ghost.Top + 2
            Case ghostmovement.left
                ghost.Left = ghost.Left - 2
            Case ghostmovement.right
                ghost.Left = ghost.Left + 2
        End Select
        DetectCollection(ghost)
    End Sub
    Public Function DetectCollection(ByVal ghost As PictureBox) As Boolean
        For Each wall As PictureBox In WallList
            If ghost.Bounds.IntersectsWith(wall.Bounds) Then
                movement = ghostmovement.right
            End If
        Next
    End Function

Mas até esta não funciona, e passo a citar o erro: "Function 'DetectCollision' doesn't return a value on all code paths. Are you missing a 'Return' Statement?"
Se alguém me conseguisse ajudar quanto a este erro e/ou dar alguma sugestão ou explicação dos outros dois tipos de movimento eu agradecia imenso.
Este é o mapa já agora:

A: Sua função precisa retornar um Booleano. O erro diz que que a sua função não está retornando nenhum valor, e realmente não está. Para resolver esse erro você pode fazer assim:
Public Function DetectCollection(ByVal ghost As PictureBox) As Boolean
    For Each wall As PictureBox In WallList
        If ghost.Bounds.IntersectsWith(wall.Bounds) Then
            movement = ghostmovement.right
            Return True //Bateu na parede, então retorna Verdadeiro
        End If
    Next

    return False //Se chegou até aqui é porque não bateu na parede, então retorna Falso
End Function

Porém, acho que não é uma boa você fazer desse jeito. O livro Clean Code, que cita boas práticas na programação, diz que a primeira regra das funções é fazer uma e somente uma coisa.
É preferível deixar a função mais genérica, isso é, a função só vai ficar responsável por detectar a colisão, e não mudar a direção do fantasminha:
Private Sub ghosttimer_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ghosttimer.Tick
    Select Case movement
        Case ghostmovement.up
           ghost.Top = ghost.Top - 2
       Case ghostmovement.down
           ghost.Top = ghost.Top + 2
       Case ghostmovement.left
           ghost.Left = ghost.Left - 2
       Case ghostmovement.right
           ghost.Left = ghost.Left + 2
    End Select

    // Está colidindo?
    If IsColliding(ghost) Then
        // Bateu na parede, muda o movimento
        movement = ghostmovement.right
    End If
    DetectCollection(ghost)
End Sub

Public Function IsColliding(ByVal ghost As PictureBox) As Boolean
    For Each wall As PictureBox In WallList
        If ghost.Bounds.IntersectsWith(wall.Bounds) Then
            Return True //Bateu na parede, então retorna Verdadeiro
        End If
    Next

    Return False //Se chegou até aqui é porque não bateu na parede, então retorna Falso
End Function

Isso é só uma idéia mas você pode conseguir uma luz a partir desse exemplo
