If set to true, all paths for session cookies will be set to /. This can be useful for portlet specification implementations. If not specified, this attribute is set to false.
The maximum size in bytes of the POST which will be saved/buffered by the container during FORM or CLIENT-CERT authentication. For both types of authentication, the POST will be saved/buffered before the user is authenticated. For CLIENT-CERT authentication, the POST is buffered for the duration of the SSL handshake and the buffer emptied when the request is processed. For FORM authentication the POST is saved whilst the user is re-directed to the login form and is retained until the user successfully authenticates or the session associated with the authentication request expires. The limit can be disabled by setting this attribute to -1. Setting the attribute to zero will disable the saving of POST data during authentication . If not specified, this attribute is set to 4096 (4 kilobytes).
Sets the protocol to handle incoming traffic. The default value is HTTP/1.1 and configures the org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol. This is the blocking Java connector.
If the PATH(Windows) or LD_LIBRARY_PATH(on most unix system) environment variables contain the Tomcat native library, the APR connector will automatically be configured. Please be advised that the APR connector has different settings for HTTPS than the default Java connector.
org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol - the APR connector.
Take a look at our Connector Comparison chart. The configuration for both Java connectors are identical, both for http and https.
This specifies if the encoding specified in contentType should be used for URI query parameters, instead of using the URIEncoding. This setting is present for compatibility with Tomcat 4.1.x, where the encoding specified in the contentType, or explicitely set using Request.setCharacterEncoding method was also used for the parameters from the URL. The default value is false.
Set this attribute to true to cause Tomcat to use the IP address that the request was recieved on to determine the Host to send the request to. The default value is false.
The maximum queue length for incoming connection requests when all possible request processing threads are in use. Any requests received when the queue is full will be refused. The default value is 10.
The size (in bytes) of the buffer to be provided for input streams created by this connector. By default, buffers of 2048 bytes will be provided.
The number of milliseconds during which the sockets used by this Connector will linger when they are closed. The default value is -1 (socket linger is disabled).
A reference to the name in an Executor element. If this attribute is enabled, and the named executor exists, the connector will use the executor, and all the other thread attributes will be ignored.
This flag allows the servlet container to use a different, longer connection timeout while a servlet is being executed, which in the end allows either the servlet a longer amount of time to complete its execution, or a longer timeout during data upload. If not specified, this attribute is set to "true".
The maximum size of the request and response HTTP header, specified in bytes. If not specified, this attribute is set to 4096 (4 KB).
The maximum number of request processing threads to be created by this Connector, which therefore determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. If not specified, this attribute is set to 40. If an executor is associated with this connector, this attribute is ignored as the connector will execute tasks using the executor rather than an internal thread pool.
The value is a comma separated list of regular expressions matching user-agents of HTTP clients for which compression should not be used, because these clients, although they do advertise support for the feature, have a broken implementation. The default value is an empty String (regexp matching disabled).
The value is a comma separated list of regular expressions matching user-agents of HTTP clients for which HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0 keep alive should not be used, even if the clients advertise support for these features. The default value is an empty String (regexp matching disabled).
The Server header for the http response. Unless you are paranoid, you won't need this feature.
The NIO connector exposes all the low level socket properties that can be used to tune the connector. Most of these attributes are directly linked to the socket implementation in the JDK so you can find out about the actual meaning in the JDK API documentation.
(bool)Set to true to use the NIO thread pool executor. The default value is true. If set to false, it uses a thread pool based on a stack for its execution. Generally, using the executor yields a little bit slower performance, but yields a better fairness for processing connections in a high load environment as the traffic gets queued through a FIFO queue. If set to true(default) then the max pool size is the maxThreads attribute and the core pool size is the minSpareThreads. This value is ignored if the executor attribute is present and points to a valid shared thread pool.
(int)The number of threads to be used to accept connections. Increase this value on a multi CPU machine, although you would never really need more than 2. Also, with a lot of non keep alive connections, you might want to increase this value as well. Default value is 1.
(int)The number of threads to be used to run for the polling events. Default value is 1. Can't see a reason to go above that. But experiment and find your own results.
(int)The time in milliseconds to timeout on a select() for the poller. This value is important, since connection clean up is done on the same thread, so dont set this value to an extremely high one. The default value is 1000 milliseconds.
(bool)Whether to allow comet servlets or not, Default value is true.
(int)The protocol handler caches Http11NioProcessor objects to speed up performance. This setting dictates how many of these objects get cached. -1 means unlimited, default is 200. Set this value somewhere close to your maxThreads value.
(int)Each connection that is opened up in Tomcat get associated with a read and a write ByteBuffer This attribute controls the size of these buffers. By default this read buffer is sized at 8192 bytes. For lower concurrency, you can increase this to buffer more data. For an extreme amount of keep alive connections, decrease this number or increase your heap size.
(int)Each connection that is opened up in Tomcat get associated with a read and a write ByteBuffer This attribute controls the size of these buffers. By default this write buffer is sized at 8192 bytes. For low concurrency you can increase this to buffer more response data. For an extreme amount of keep alive connections, decrease this number or increase your heap size.
(int)The Nio connector uses a class called NioChannel that holds elements linked to a socket. To reduce garbage collection, the Nio connector caches these channel objects. This value specifies the size of this cache. The default value is 500, and represents that the cache will hold 500 NioChannel objects. Other values are -1. unlimited cache, and 0, no cache.
(int)Tomcat will cache SocketProcessor objects to reduce garbage collection. The integer value specifies how many objects to keep in the cache at most. The default is 500. Other values are -1. unlimited cache, and 0, no cache.
(int)Tomcat will cache KeyAttachment objects to reduce garbage collection. The integer value specifies how many objects to keep in the cache at most. The default is 500. Other values are -1. unlimited cache, and 0, no cache.
(int)Tomcat will cache PollerEvent objects to reduce garbage collection. The integer value specifies how many objects to keep in the cache at most. The default is 500. Other values are -1. unlimited cache, and 0, no cache.
(bool)Boolean value for the socket's keep alive setting (SO_KEEPALIVE). Default is false.
(bool)Boolean value for the sockets so linger option (SO_LINGER). Default value is true. This option is paired with the soLingerTime value.
(bool)Value in seconds for the sockets so linger option (SO_LINGER). Default value is 25 seconds. This option is paired with the soLinger value.
(int)Value in milliseconds for the sockets read timeout (SO_TIMEOUT). Default value is 5000 milliseconds.
(int)The NIO connector implements an OutOfMemoryError strategy called parachute. It holds a chunk of data as a byte array. In case of an OOM, this chunk of data is released and the error is reported. This will give the VM enough room to clean up. The oomParachute represent the size in bytes of the parachute(the byte array). The default value is 1024*1024(1MB). Please note, this only works for OOM errors regarding the Java Heap space, and there is absolutely no guarantee that you will be able to recover at all. If you have an OOM outside of the Java Heap, then this parachute trick will not help.
The certificate encoding algorithm to be used. This defaults to the Sun implementation (SunX509). For IBM JVMs you should use the value IbmX509. For other vendors, consult the JVM documentation for the correct value.
Set to true if you want the SSL stack to require a valid certificate chain from the client before accepting a connection. Set to want if you want the SSL stack to request a client Certificate, but not fail if one isn't presented. A false value (which is the default) will not require a certificate chain unless the client requests a resource protected by a security constraint that uses CLIENT-CERT authentication. See the SSL HowTo for an example.
A comma seperated list of the encryption ciphers that may be used. If not specified, then any available cipher may be used.
The TrustStore file to use to validate client certificates.
The password to access the TrustStore. This defaults to the value of keystorePass.
Add this element if your are using a different format for the TrustStore then you are using for the KeyStore.
The name of the truststore provider to be used for the server certificate. If not specified, the list of registered providers is traversed in preference order and the first provider that supports the truststoreType is used.

The 2021 Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Journal Symposium, 3/23-25
How has a global pandemic changed the sports landscape? What does the future role of the student-athlete look like? What part do sports teams and players have in social justice movements? The 2021 Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Symposium will discuss these topics from the past year and take a look forward as we enter a new sports normal.
This year's virtual symposium will take place from 7:00-8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 23, Wednesday, March 24 and Thursday, March 25. This event is approved by the Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board for 3 Distance CLE credits (2 Substantive, 1 Ethics). Please note registration for each session is required. Attendees will receive an email from Eventbrite with the Zoom link on the day of the event.
Tuesday, March 23, 7:00–8:30 p.m.
COVID-19 in Sports
This panel will discuss the immense challenges posed by the pandemic and how sports leagues developed policies to have a season and protect athletes. This panel will address which policies worked, which policies did not work and how COVID-19 changed sports overall.

They can live almost a month without food.
They can live about two weeks without water.

Our revolutionary approach to teaching young people to drive is unmatched. Our years of experience has taught us that you the student are only as good as the teacher. Which is why we continually train and upskill our instructors to not only give you the best driving lesson experience there is to be had in Maynooth but also to give you a calm relaxed environment to learn in. With our instructors your driving will come to life.
We have seen students consistently progress faster with the use of our home study support material. Our extra bonus training will give you the head start all your EDT driving lessons, on road rules and on the driving test. No other Maynooth driving school offers such a comprehensive service as this.
You may not know but many years ago Ireland had one of the worst road accident records in Europe. To help reduce these statistics the Road Safety Authority introduced a new and mandatory training initiative for new drivers. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
What signs would you expect to see approaching a major road?
Warning sign; major road ahead; regulatory sign: yield or stop.
There is learning the vital driving skills and developing your knowledge of road signs and road safety. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. The test is your chance to show that you are safe enough to drive unaccompanied. And naturally, as with any test, if you understand the conditions and what to expect you can pass easily.
With RSA School of Motoring your Maynooth driver training doesn't just start and finish in the car. To help you develop fast and help you remember all the driving techniques our instructors teach, we have created our own idependent home study email course delivered straight to your inbox to guide you through your EDT to the test. If you're looking for great value... you just found it.
If you arrive for you test in a car that isn't roadworthy you'll instantly fail and throw €85 out of the window. And for 10% of all applicants, this is exactly what happens. Bad tyres, faulty lights and improper insurance are just a few of the reasons tests get failed. Let us guarantee that your driving test will start the way it should by hiring one of our dual controlled driving school cars. We have some great Maynooth Pretest Car Hire Bundles so go check them out.
We all remember the fun engaging teacher at school that made learning easy and fun. And then we had the opposite, those teachers that had no place in the classroom. Not all teachers are made equal and that is no less real with driving instructors. It's not as straightforward as Googling 'Driving Lessons Maynooth' and picking the first driving school you see. Who can you believe in to offer you that fun and engaging experience?
Knowledge and professionalism is what you need from a driving school. A place where learners are consistently passing their driving test first time.
RSA School of Motoring have the exact reputation for pupil success we have been talking about and we have the verified reviews to show it. So if you need driving lessons you would be getting a head start choosing us. Let us show you why.
You're in luck. We have female driving instructors all over Maynooth. Don't believe the myth about female drivers. Our female driving instructors are some of the best instructors in not just Kildare but Ireland. Book your lessons now.
In busy times like these we all want convenience and flexibility and this is no less true with taking driving lessons. That is why our driving instructors will pick you up and drop you off from your chosen Maynooth locations*, be it work, home or college.
We wouldn't be Kildare's leading driving school if we didn't. At RSA School of Motoring you can learn to drive in a manual or automatic car. The choice is yours. Give us a call to find out more.
Got anymore questions for us? Our Maynooth driving instructors would be proud to teach you to drive so call us today. You'll be very glad you did.

1,000 Places to See and Selfie: A Checklist
by Kath Stathers
You don't want to take out your selfie stick for this one. Photo by Paul Edmundson
We're all for taking that next big road trip, buying that round-the-world ticket, and diving with whale sharks. But we're allergic to the term "bucket list." That said, when we flipped through The Bucket List: 1000 Adventures Big & Small, we were pleasantly surprised with the sheer variety of unique ideas and blown away by the incredible photos of stunning landscapes and events — many in spots we've heard little to nothing about. The book is divided along longitudes and latitudes, with a helpful corresponding webpage linking to coordinates of all 1,000 tasks. A thousand is a lot — daunting, even. Start below with a half dozen of our favorites, excerpted from the book.
Wedged in a mountain crevice on the edge of Kjerag mountain, the Kjeragbolten boulder is suspended over a near-3,280-foot high drop. It's accessible, after a hike, without any climbing equipment — simply jump up onto the large rock for a very memorable photo op.

Northern Ireland, UK
Take in all six counties that make up Northern Ireland on the mammoth, 625-mile circular walk that is the magnificent Ulster Way. Opened in the 1970s, the project's aim was to take long-distance hikers through some of the most beautiful scenery the Northern Irish countryside has to offer. The most popular place to start is the curious Giant's Causeway, with its ancient stone "steps," which jut out in the sea of the country's northern coastline.

Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, Spain
A stroll through the peaceful Oma Painted Forest amid colorful Monterey pine trees is a feast for the senses. In the 1980s, sculptor and artist Augustín Ibarrola painted unique patterns on the tree trunks here, some of which change shape and perspective as you move through the forest. This open-air museum is a form of "land art" — where nature is used as the artist's frame — and features artwork representative of nearby Paleolithic cave art.

Nagaragawa River, Gifu, Japan
Charlie Chaplin was said to have been a fan of Ukai, fishing with cormorants (a kind of waterbird), a 1,300-year-old Japanese tradition similar to falconry. Performed at night, with sake flowing, the fishermen manipulate both the water, trapping the sweetfish in the shallows, and ten to twelve cormorants at a time.

Chamarel, Mauritius
Feast your eyes upon the colored earth of Chamarel, a vision so bizarre, it feels almost like an optical illusion. Rolling dunes of rainbow-colored earth in the Rivièra Noire District of Mauritius have been formed by the weathering of volcanic rock and the minerals within it, creating a mind-bending pastel rainbow backdrop.

Presidents Choice Does it Again!
I LOVE food…and I really LOVE trying new products, especially when the quality and price are right. President's Choice Products never fail to impress me, and for the years and years I've religiously used them, the company keeps coming up with better ideas for sensational new products every year. The holiday season always brings with it a plethora of amazing new things to try for both entertaining and day-to-day meals as well!
This evening, as I was sitting in bed perusing the PC Insider's Report, I was literally drooling! It's pages were full of beautiful product descriptions and photos which made me want to try it all! Particularly intriguing to me were the new PC baking mixes for "Holiday baking in a hurry." As the writer of a web-site focused on cooking and baking, I am often told by my readers "I just can't bake." Well my friends, I think these mixes should take the guess work out of it for you, and make every baking session a complete success from here on in. The baking mixes such as gingerbread, shortbread and decadent Belgian chocolate squares look completely delectable, very affordable, and above-all, EASY. How can you possibly go wrong when the hard part is already done for you?
I can't wait to try these mixes and review them for you. As someone who does bake a lot, I must say, there is a definite appeal to the simplicity of these mixes in terms of the time-savings. If you've tried any of the brand new PC baking mixes, let us know what you thought of them. To me, they all look like winners!

Battle of the budgets: How does Māori TV's Kairākau compare to TVNZ's Filthy Rich?
Duncan Greive | Managing Editor
TVNZ's Filthy Rich cost $400k per episode to make, a pricetag 10 times that of Māori Television's new drama Kairākau. Duncan Greive compares the two investments.
Earlier this week, I received an email from a person I'd never heard from before. "It would be good for you to do a comparitive analysis on the following low budget drama launching on Māori TV tonight," it read, "and Filthy Rich. $40k per episode vs $1million? Per episode"
Now, to be fair to Filthy Rich, the show cost only $400,000 per episode. And Kairākau, which premiered on Wednesday, only runs for a half hour. Still, it seemed like an interesting idea: comparing the relative merits of the two shows, one of which costs nearly five times as much per minute as the other.
What would I find? Would the actors be more wooden? The sets less wooden? The dialogue crappier, the plot more contrived. Where exactly does the budget show?
More importantly, I would try and weigh the relative value for money New Zealand received from each venture. Is our nation five times the culturally richer for the existence of Filthy Rich, versus Kairākau?
I excitedly tuned in at 8pm to find out.
Things did not start out promisingly. The on screen graphics were somewhat below the level you'd expect of the in-built software of a mid-level modern laptop. The pixels bulged and shimmered, giving it the air of a school cert media studies presentation. They called to mind the excellent pick-a-path PC game Myst. Which came out in 1993.
Still, graphics aside, it looked ravishing. A young, fresh-faced Māori man in a vaguely Bear Grylls-y outdoors getup wandered through lush New Zealand bush. He spoke of his weapon transporting him into ancient worlds. The whole show is in Te Reo, subtitled into English, but in any language the strong impression was given that the man was under the influence of some heavy duty psychedelics.
He comes upon a small gathering of Ngāti Whakaue warriors in pre-colonial New Zealand. They have a rival captured, buried to his neck. Parched, eyes dead, mumbling incoherently.
To this point the show has been slightly impenetrable. A mix of dialogue and over-dubbed monologue, ancient and contemporary, with no real strong sense of what exactly it is we're watching.
My wife, sat alongside me, suggests it reminds her of '70s kung fu movies, and they are perhaps the best point of comparison: the ancient culture, the philosophically inclined aphorisms, the warrior's code.
It only becomes more apt, as we flashback to the battle which preceded the poor buried bastard's capture. A fierce fight conducted with taiaha on open, rocky ground. The action is electric, pacy and satisfyingly violent. Occasional attempts at Matrix-style slow-mo feel cheap and dated, but otherwise it's impressively shot balletic action.
It contrasts nicely with the slow, eerie scenes at the camp. A tribal chief talks of his commitment to combat with a kind of Art of War absolutism. "Our weapons are here to guide us," he says. And later, shockingly, "I have five children. They mean nothing to me."
He is shown earlier trying to save them during a harrowing village invasion, so the words more indicate his willingness to sacrifice anything for his iwi.
The deeper into the show we get, the more satisfying it becomes. The episode is an exploration of the taiaha, both as a weapon and a symbol. At one point a captured rival is knocked unconscious with his own staff, which is then cruelly snapped in two. It feels as visceral as a death.
The device of having a modern man alongside, watching and sometimes interacting with the warriors is the least successful component. It feels forced, pulling you out of the ancient world. The plot is too obscure, feeling more like a series of moments than something with real narrative momentum.
For all that, though, whether racing in combat, or lost in contemplation Kairākau evokes a pre-colonial New Zealand in a convincing and evocative style. Particularly by comparison to the slick but ultimately empty Filthy Rich, which flaunts its wealth both as a production and a concept, but never feel remotely connected to this land or its people. Whereas Kairākau, despite its tiny budget and far more earnest intentions, could be from nowhere else.

Decade in review: How reality ate NZ television


In 1008, Giovanni Gualberto, a young Florentine monk who had a stormy background, left the monastery of San Miniato in Florence together with a companion, to search for an appropriate place in which to meditate and to pray. His fiery character and his deep spirituality had already incited him to an open clash with the Florentine curia, which then smacked of simony.
The year of 1036 witnessed the beginning of the building of brick-masonry cells and of the oratory: around 1450, important enlargements were carried out, with the building of the new sacristy and premises for the novitiate. By the end of the XVth century the complex had already taken on its present-day appearance. In 1529, after the sacking by Emperor Charles V, the east tower was built for the purpose of defending the more valuable furnishings and books, while the wall surrounding the outside courtyard dates to the XVIIth century. The last intervention, at the end of the XVIIIth century, was the building of the large pool in front of the Abbey, which was used for the breeding of trout and also to produce ice.
Abolished during the Napoleonic era, the monastery returned to the monks' ownership in 1817, thanks to Grand Duke Ferdinand. The forfeitures of the period under the House of Savoy caused the monks to be evicted once again, and the structure remained in the hands of the corps of forest rangers until 1949, when the State gave it back to the Vallombrosian Order.
The imposing building, which is dominated by the tower and the XIIIth-century bell tower, has the appearance of a castle. The façade of the XVIIth-century Abbey is the work of Gherardo Silvani, and the façade of the church also dates to the XVIIth century. However, it conserves its medieval layout in spite of the numerous interventions that were made to it during the baroque era.
Vallombrosa preserves a Della Robbia bas-relief in the hallway of the refectory, as well as a total of fifteen paintings by Ignazio Hugford in its interior. The wooden choir of the church was carved and inlaid by Francesco da Poggibonsi.
Scattered in the wood surrounding the building rise chapels and tabernacles of the XVIth and XVIIth centuries, which recall episodes from the life of Gualberto. Several pathways that meander through the forest by the side of these small monuments offer visitors the opportunity to meditate in silence.
For opening hours to the public and further information, you can visit the Abbey's site: www.monaci.org.


As I was digging deeper into understanding methylation, it was time to take a girls trip! Woohoo! It's been years since I saw my college girlfriends and we were planning our first trip after we had our kids. California bound and hubby's were left watching the littles.
I was always the one in college who would get so sick the day after a night on the town. Spring break trips?? I was the one in bed the next day –all day long. And if I had a few drinks, by 9 pm I was in for the night, exhausted. I was not a big drinker. Knowing I had an intolerance to alcohol, I wanted to go to LA prepared.
I grabbed my special methylation concoction, as I knew I was going to be stressing my liver and adrenals more than normal. Was this a computer generated recommendation? No. Would this be the magic hangover pill for everyone? No. Was it the answer for everyone with an MTHFR polymorphism? No.
Day 1: Mixed drink, Margarita! I felt nothing. ??
Day 2: Margarita. MARGARITA! MOJITO! MARGARITA! I can't feel a thing! I am wasting my money. However, I am processing my alcohol AMAZINGLY.
Day 3: Wine, Margarita, Moscow Mule. nothing.
Day 4: Two Margaritas & FINALLY a small buzz, after I stopped my methylation concoction.
I came prepared to support my body but I left $150 poorer and with an amazing knowledge of my body. It's a good trade-off and I will take the loss for the larger gain in noticeable signs of processing alcohol better.
The magical concoction supported phase 1 & phase 2 liver detoxification, pushed the transsulfuration pathway, broke down exogenous histamine intake, and turned the crank between my methylation/methionine cycle.
It was a beautiful discovery. Confirming my personal journey to produce a larger tolerance to alcohol but importantly learning that with some basic nutrients, we as humans, with the right knowledge can do things to make a large impact on our health.
**Disclaimer** This protocol may NOT be the right protocol for YOU, especially when you have a history of reacting to methylated B12. Please work with an experienced functional medicine practitioner to find the best protocol based on YOUR needs.
If you have MTHFR and are wondering why I didn't support myself with folate, or L-5MTHF you have to understand that is NOT the best way to start with many people. I personally react with this depending on my needs in specific situations. Please see my blog on "Why am I reacting to Folate when I have MTHFR?" I also reiterate, please work with an experienced functional medicine practitioner to find the best protocol based on YOUR needs.
This story is not a promotion to drink more alcohol, but to expand on the use for supplementation. Once you are armed with knowledge on how your body responds to additional nutrients, you can help CONTROL the outcome of your choices and experiences. Stressed? Support with your personalized nutrients. Spring/Fall allergies bugging you? Support with the right thing and see if you can actually keep your mast cells from exploding and releasing histamine in the first place.

What new laws did King Alfred introduce to England?
What did Alfred the Great bring to England?
How did Alfred the Great change the legal system?
What was significant about King Alfred of England's law code?
Who defeated the Saxons?
Did King Alfred defeat the Vikings?
What is Alfred law?
What is the significance of Alfred's law code?
Alfred the Great (849-899) was the most famous of the Anglo-Saxon kings. Despite overwhelming odds he successfully defended his kingdom, Wessex, against the Vikings. He also introduced wide-ranging reforms including defence measures, reform of the law and of coinage.
He also established a navy for use against the Danish raiders who continued to harass the coast. As an administrator Alfred advocated justice and order and established a code of laws and a reformed coinage. He had a strong belief in the importance of education and learnt Latin in his late thirties.
The Law Code of King Alfred the Great is the largest and best preserved piece of legal documentation made prior to the Norman conquest of 1066 [1], and the first surviving Anglo-Saxon law code since Ine's, nearly two centuries earlier [2], making it an essential document in the study of late Anglo-Saxon law, culture …
The Anglo-Saxons had not been well organized as a whole for defense, and William defeated the various revolts against what became known as the Norman Conquest. William of Normandy became King William I of England – while Scotland, Ireland and North Wales remained independent of English kings for generations to come.
IT IS INTERESTING: What type of economic system does Scotland have?
As King of Wessex at the age of 21, Alfred (reigned 871-99) was a strongminded but highly strung battle veteran at the head of remaining resistance to the Vikings in southern England. … In May 878, Alfred's army defeated the Danes at the battle of Edington.
Alfred the Great's domboc ('book of laws') is the longest and most ambitious legal text of the Anglo-Saxon period. … This book is the first critical edition of the domboc published in over a century, as well as a new translation.
One important purpose of Alfred's Law Code was to promote Alfred as a just king. The Fonthill Letter demonstrates how Alfred was perceived as a king who took it upon himself to ensure justice throughout his reign.

On November 20, 2014 By Andrew G LockhartIn Book Review, Books, British History, European History, Historical Fiction, Writing and Publishing
by Ken Follett
My choice of title has nothing to do with the Robert Wise classic sci-fi film of 1951, or indeed the inferior remake of 2008. Instead, it refers to the day – 22nd November 1963 – when the world was rocked with the news that US President John F Kennedy was dead. The man on whom so many hopes were pinned had been gunned down as he drove through the city of Dallas on his way to a civic lunch.
I have been looking forward to this, the third novel in Ken Follett's Century Trilogy ever since I finished Winter of the World, the second book. It did not disappoint. Once again, Follett paints on a world canvas, with suspense from the off. He maintains the momentum thereafter as he switches continents and points of view with intoxicating rapidity.
The story begins in East Berlin in 1961 and spans three decades of turbulent world history. Edge of Eternity has a different feel from the previous two novels, less historical and more personal. It reminds me of the excitement, the danger – and the fear – of growing up during those years of tension and cold war. The Berlin Wall, the Civil Rights Movement, the Kennedy and King assassinations, Rock and Roll and the Beatles, Vietnam, Watergate and much much more – those are the background against which Follett sets his continuing family saga of Britons, Germans, Americans and Russians caught up in the hurricane of political and social change.
"The East German regime had done what everyone said could not be done: they had built a wall across the middle of Berlin. And Rebecca was on the wrong side."
Rebecca Hoffman is a talented teacher in East Berlin who falls foul of the Stasi. Sacked and with no prospects, she plans her escape to the West. Her teenage brother Walli, whose only ambition is to play rock music, has the same idea, and neither manages to cross the wall without cost.
In London, Dave Williams, son of a Labour MP and grandson of a newly-created Baroness, suffers from what we would recognise today as dyslexia. Dave can't pass academic examinations but he is a talented guitarist and finds work in a back street London club. He and Walli, after many trials, eventually meet up and go on to be successful musicians.
The Moscow twins Dimka and Tania Dvorkin are devoted to one another but have different political aspirations. Dimka is an aide to Kruschev and believes communism can be reformed and made to work; Tania is a liberal who works for the TASS news agency. She is sent to Cuba to cover the missile crisis.
"George's mind refused to accept it. Even in Alabama, men would not bomb a Sunday School. 'They killed four girls,' Jacky said."
George Jakes is an aide to Bobby Kennedy and devoted to civil rights legislation. As a black man – though with a white father – he experiences first hand the despicable acts of segregation, the riots and the violent murder by the Ku Klux Klan in the South. George is torn between two women, Verena, who works for Martin Luther King, and Maria, who is on the staff at the White House.
Each of these characters, and others – the cast is enormous – is tied to the past by marriage or literary manipulation. As third generation of the families who first appeared in Fall of Giants, they are destined to meet, find love or sex, and part again – to fight for their ideals, to feel grief and disappointment and to fulfil their dreams. A few of the first generation even make brief appearance to remind us how it all started; we meet again Lady Maud, the Peshkov brothers, Fitz and Ethel.
Many reviewers feel compelled to give a detailed synopsis of the whole plot of the book they are reviewing. With Edge of Eternity, the reader who already knows the true history of the sixties, seventies and eighties may think that superfluous. A third of the book is fact; another third is an intuitive but well-researched peek into the private lives of the most influential people of last century. The rest is – of course – fiction. Nevertheless, to someone who lived through those times, even that brings its own memories, nostalgia, and emotions. Detailed plot-spoilers have no place in this review.
"Five men, one of whom said he is a former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency, were arrested at 2.30 am yesterday in what authorities described as an elaborate plot to bug the offices of the Democratic National Committee" [Washington Post, 18 June 1972]
The only small minus for me is that Ken Follett, a Brit [he is a Welshman], did not devote more space to our part in the momentous events, especially in the second half of the book. Perhaps as a supporter of the Labour Party, and the husband of a former Labour MP, he does not consider the contribution of the Thatcher years to world history as very important! Edge of Eternity is unashamedly left-wing, though that is a term with very different meanings on opposite sides of the Atlantic.
But his negligence in that respect does not really detract from the novel. Fans should simply pick up the book (all 1000 pages of it) and enjoy Follett's journey into the recent past, his fast-moving style, page-turning storyline and imaginative recreation of the lives of the real men and women who made twentieth century history. But if you are new to his work, I can think of no good reason not to start with Edge of Eternity; you can always go back to the others later.
The book ends when the Wall comes down, but you'll have to read it to find out who is there to see it happen!

Pending legislation in three Western states could mean more offices of outdoor recreation. And that means more support for our industry across the region and in Washington D.C.
Last week, three Western states—California, New Mexico and Oregon—progressed legislation that supports creating offices of outdoor recreation. Outdoor Industry Association has been pressing for more state–level leadership on behalf of the outdoor recreation industry, and these bills mark the most significant progress toward that goal since Colorado and Washington created offices of outdoor recreation last year.
California: OIA members Marmot, Tahoe Mountain Sports, Brooks Range and HydraPak joined industry colleagues from PeopleForBikes and Fox Head, Inc., for a day of advocacy in Sacramento (see photo above). They were there to support AB 907, which would create an office of outdoor recreation. As the legislative session goes on, we will continue to organize members in California around the idea of an office of outdoor recreation as well as the $3 million parks bond legislation that you can read about here.
New Mexico: House Memorial 91 directs the state's tourism and economic development departments to study the potential for growing and targeting the outdoor recreation industry and for establishing an office specifically tasked with that mission. The bill has made it through committee, and if passed would provide outdoor businesses and other stakeholders the opportunity to be consulted in the development of the study.
Oregon: In Oregon last week, HB 3350 was introduced. It would create an office of outdoor recreation in the state's parks department. The mission of this office is to coordinate outdoor recreation policy and management, to promote outdoor recreation in concert with tourism, and to serve as a hub for policy and data resources. The bill would also create an outdoor recreation trust fund to finance this work.
Stay tuned for more on all these bills, and please reach out if you want to be more directly involved.


Kia spokesman James Bell told USA Today that the company is proceeding with the recall during the government shutdown due to safety concerns.
"Making our customers comfortable is vastly more important than making sure we're following additional government processes right now," he said.
In addition to the recall, Kia and Hyundai say they are also initiating a "product improvement campaign" for an additional 3.7 million vehicles. Under the campaign, drivers can have software installed to warn them of possible engine failures.
Unlike safety recalls, "campaigns" issued by car companies are not regulated by NHTSA and are not supposed to be used to repair defects related to safety.
One person died last year in a Kia that randomly caught fire, his family says, and over 200 other consumers have sent complaints to NHTSA describing non-collision fires in their Kia or Hyundai cars.

Breeality Bites
Custody Battle
Robert Wilonsky April 19, 2001 4:00AM
Joe Simon doesn't read comic books anymore, and not because he's an 87-year-old man with far better ways to spend his time. The former and, perhaps, future comics writer and illustrator simply doesn't get them anymore; he doesn't know who they're for, what they're about, why most of them even exist. Back in his day, Simon and his colleagues, writers and artists plying their trade in smoky office buildings, knew their audience: 12-year-old boys. They knew what they wanted: good guys in tights beating up the bad guys, most of whom looked a lot like a guy named Adolf. But now, Simon says from his one-room apartment in Manhattan, "comic books are for, I dunno, the masturbation generation." His laugh sounds like a train in the distance; his is a deep New York voice that suggest a much younger man of sharp mind and sound body.
"They all look alike -- little boys with big guns and little girls with big boobs," he says, and it's hard to tell if he's amused or disgusted. "If I were in the business today, I could find out who the audience was, but it's of no interest to me to get into that area. Not anymore."
There was, of course, a time when Simon loved comic books: They raised his children, bought his house, took care of his wife. And they made him a legend, at least among those who read and revere the much-maligned medium, this trash-can literature. A very long time ago, and for a very long time, Joe Simon made comic books, some of them among the best-known and most beloved in the medium's history: Young Romance, Newsboy Legion and The Boy Commandos, original copies of which sell among collectors for thousands of dollars. More important, he is the father of one of the most iconic figures in the ill-tended-to history of the medium: In 1939, Simon gave birth to the red-white-and-blue crime buster known as Captain America, who would become among the most famous characters in Marvel Comics' stable of heroes.
Now, 62 years later, Simon wants his boy back -- out of Marvel's clutches and into his own hands. There's but a single problem: Marvel, which has claimed ownership of the Captain America copyright since 1940, is not going to just turn over one of its most profitable properties without a fight. Sometime this summer -- perhaps as early as June -- Marvel Characters, Inc. v. Joseph H. Simon will head into U.S. District Court in New York, with the victor claiming the copyright to Captain America, and the ramifications of the lawsuit are enormous. If Simon wins, it will open the floodgates for other artists and writers to reclaim characters long owned and exploited by comic-book publishers. That, Simon says, is precisely the point, which explains why he's a little surprised -- and saddened -- to discover he's fighting this battle alone, without support from other creators who lost control of their children along the way.
"Christ, I'm doing this for my children and other creative people who should have their rights," Simon insists. "I'm not doing it for myself. I'm too old to be doing this for myself, but I'm not going to quit by any means. They've spent so much money on this. Marvel must have spent a million bucks on this. I think some people would get together and back me on this."
Simon notified Marvel of his intent to reclaim the Captain America copyright on December 6, 1999 -- just a few months after the heirs of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel filed similar notice with DC Comics. Simon and Siegel's estate made their claims using a 1978 revision to U.S. copyright law which says, in essence, that once a work's original 56-year copyright expires, the creator of a work (or his estate) has five years to regain the copyright. Two months after Simon filed his claim, Marvel filed suit against the legendary artist, claiming he has no rights at all to Captain America. According to Simon, the company never offered to negotiate a settlement.
"When the statute was changed in 1978, the whole point was to give people who may have sold their property for a cheap price the chance to take it back," says Simon's attorney Ross Charap. "The premise is you don't know what something's worth 'til the public tells you. Congress said, 'Let's do something for those who sold their goods at a rate far less than the value the public established for it over time.' Somebody who gave something up for very little 50, 60 years ago should be entitled to get some additional compensation for the great work he or she did."
But it's not as simple as that, because copyright law also says that a creator is not entitled to his creation if he did it as a "work for hire" -- meaning, if Joe Simon came up with Captain America while he was working for Marvel (which, in the 1930s, was called Timely Comics), it belongs to the company. Forever.

Home Corruption Dear Sage Dixon: Your Lack of Due Process is Damaging Our Republic
Dear Sage Dixon: Your Lack of Due Process is Damaging Our Republic
Op-Ed by James Wilson
Due process of law, both procedurally and substantively, is a feature that makes American jurisprudence unique in this world. For people accused of wrongdoing, "due process" places the burden of proof on accusers. This means anyone who is accused of anything need not prove innocence; accusers must prove guilt beyond doubt. Moreover, they must employ fair means, including an absolute prohibition against coercing or conning the accused into assisting them.
Due process makes it difficult – although still possible – to use legal and ethical codes to settle scores or eliminate rivals. This is especially true in politics. In fact, due process is in serious jeopardy in the legislature of Idaho, which, ironically, is reputed to be a last bastion of traditional American values.
A few months back, a member of the Idaho House of Representatives – Aaron von Ehlinger – was accused of rape. Police investigated the charge and dropped it. They later re-opened the investigation but have never charged him.
Meanwhile, the Idaho House Ethics Committee convened a hearing with the stated goal of expelling von Ehlinger, not necessarily of getting to the truth. That goal came straight from the mouth of Ethics Committee member Brent Crane, who called himself the third most powerful member of the House, saying he would ensure von Ehlinger's expulsion. It is troublesome that Crane's boasting and proclamation of von Ehlinger's guilt came before the hearing convened.
Dixon's Committee Violated House Rule 45
The Ethics Committee Chair, Sage Dixon (who was appointed by House Speaker, Scott Bedke), is required to operate under Rule 45 of Legislative Procedures. Rule 45 provides that causes for complaint may include conduct unbecoming a member of the legislature; this was the complaint made against von Ehlinger. Rule 45 also provides for the due process of law guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution.
Due process includes the defendant's right to cross-examine witnesses, retain legal counsel, and call witnesses of his choosing; it does not permit witness censoring. The Committee may adopt special rules on occasion, but they must be consistent with Rule 45.
In von Ehlinger's hearing, what the Ethics Committee did was not consistent with House Rule 45, nor the Constitution.
Under Dixon's leadership:
The committee adopted a special rule compelling von Ehlinger to testify against himself. This was clearly unconstitutional.
They denied him the right to call witnesses of whom they disapproved.
They held their hearing while a police investigation was ongoing.
Brent Crane retained his vote on the committee despite his pre-hearing prejudicial statement.
They recommended censure without pay and removal from office to penalize von Ehlinger for exercising his Fifth Amendment rights.
They involved attorneys from the executive branch, despite the Attorney General's admission that they aren't authorized to be involved in legislative issues.
They gave themselves permission to change rules during the hearing itself, something Rule 45 does not permit.
After the von Ehlinger hearing was over, when Dixon was confronted by Rep. Judy Boyle over conducting a hearing during a police investigation, Dixon reportedly hung his head and mumbled something about being "pretty far down the path and we thought we should continue."
Dixon's Committee Violated von Ehlinger's Constitutional Rights
It should be noted that the charges against von Ehlinger were never proven, and the committee's recommendation to expel him was based on his assertion of his constitutional rights.
In the end, von Ehlinger chose to resign his seat rather than force his colleagues to be smeared in the press for voting against the Ethics Committee's Kangaroo Court. However, the trampling on any semblance of due process is not over.
One of Sage Dixon's special rules forbade publishing the name of the alleged victim, even though her name had been published prior to the hearing and she had a reputation for encouraging compromising behavior from legislators. Rep Priscilla Giddings – who is not a member of the Ethics Committee, and therefore not under Dixon's authority – linked to an article naming von Ehlinger's accuser. What Giddings did was link to already published news. She in no way made public anything that was confidential. Also, she was not subject to rules laid down by Sage Dixon for his Committee members. Yet Giddings is now under investigation by "Massa Sage" and his minions for conduct unbecoming a member of the legislature –something that has no definition in Idaho code.
Dixon is Again Violating Rule 45
Dixon has recently published the "rules" he intends to use when he brings Giddings in for a hearing on August 2. Again, Dixon is using attorneys from the state's Attorney General's office, and again, he gave the committee the right to change hearing rules while the hearing is going on. Given his track record, it would probably be fair to say Dixon will again deny his target the right to call witnesses he deems not relevant.
It gets even uglier. Under Rule 45, allegations made against a member are to remain confidential unless and until probable cause leads the Ethics Committee to announce a formal complaint. That cannot happen before the legislature re-convenes some months hence. Yet before the charges and investigation against her were formally announced, they were published by Boise State Public Radio, a venue stiffly opposed to Gidding's candidacy for lieutenant governor.
Who leaked the fact the Ethics Committee was exploring an accusation against Giddings? Is Sage Dixon and his Ethics Committee investigating? Let's not hold our breath.
Political Maneuvering and Conflict of Interest
Instead, let us consider the ugliest feature of this smoke-filled back room political lynching. House Speaker Scott Bedke is well known for rewarding his friends and lashing out at his enemies, and it is well-known in legislative circles that Dixon aspires to become part of House leadership. As previously stated, Dixon was appointed to his position as Chair of the House Ethics Committee by Scott Bedke. If Dixon wants to remain in Bedke's good graces, he has chosen a great way to do it, because Bedke is running against Giddings for the lieutenant governor's office.
If one were to believe in coincidences, it is interesting to note that Bedke is one who led the charge to request an investigation of Giddings. Can anyone say, "Conflict of interest"?
In reality, there is no due process of law in the Idaho legislature, nor will there be, until voters rise up and replace the entrenched power brokers in both houses. That can begin with replacing Scott Bedke, Sage Dixon, and Brent Crane in the House. It can continue in the Senate with Chuck Winder – who rules the senate, choosing committee chairs who decide which bills pass and which die without a hearing. It should continue with replacing Senators Martin, Patrick, Woodward, Lodge, and Guthrie – who cravenly and corruptly reversed their votes to curb the governor's emergency powers when he vetoed the measure.
Idaho population is largely conservative and constitutionalist – in other words, in agreement with due process. A core of legislators already exist who reflect that polity, but it won't be until voters push out the leaders who despise them that the state can begin to live up to its reputation as a bastion of traditional values and culture.
When that happens, it will be a blessing to both state and nation.
ED NOTE: This article originally stated that Sage Dixon was appointed by Scott Bedke to Chair the House Ethics Committee. True Idaho News was notified that House members vote on who will be on the Ethics committee, and the article was changed to reflect that. However, since that time, it has been verified that Bedke does, in fact, appoint the chair of the House Ethics Committee, per House Rule 45 1 (d). This article has been updated to reflect that fact.

Did the last paragraph get you hooked? I hope so, because most experts would agree that one of the most powerful tools in your sales and marketing arsenal is knowing how to tell a good story.
Fact is, people can smell a sales pitch from a mile away.
But cloak your concept in the dramatic folds of a story and you can by-pass their BS detector, implanting your desired action and swooping under the radar directly towards your goal.
Stories are an incredibly powerful way to communicate with your audience.
They resonate meaning and transmit ideas, values and inspiration. They make the complex simple, and make things real in a way that cold, hard facts can't.
Studies show that subjects remember up to 70% of information delivered through narrative anecdotes compared to recollecting only 10% of data presented statistically.
It's because, for generations – even before we could write – we used storytelling to transfer knowledge from one generation to the next. As humans we are hardwired for story and metaphor. It's how we make sense of the world.
Stories draw on the imagination and our stir emotions. In their resolution, they inspire us to new understanding and can indirectly show us that taking action is the right thing to do.
To see great storytelling in action, consider the speeches of thought leaders such as Steve Jobs or Simon Sinek.
In Steve Jobs' 2005 address to Stanford University's graduating class he used 3 stories from his life to form his entire 18-minute speech. With skill and integrity he weaved them all to support his core message, which was about connecting the dots to find your passion and then living it each day. This speech has over 15 million YouTube hits.
Simon Sinek talks of Steve Jobs and the story of Apple, along with that of The Wright Brothers and Martin Luther King to illustrate his Ted speech of 2009 'How great leaders inspire action'. Watch Sinek's speech for an explanation of how the part of the brain that controls decision making deals with emotion rather than logic.
So the point to remember is that audiences are drawn to feelings not facts of figures. They buy on emotion. And as I've discussed in a previous post, tap into their key motivators and you will have a direct line to the decision making part of your prospects brain.
(For further insight into what these key motivators look like in the context of a story, my next post will delve deeper into the 7 basic story archetypes).
Let's be clear, I'm not suggesting you pluck a made-up story from thin air. What works best is a story rooted in fact that resonates with authenticity.
Think about a using case study of an existing customer as a way to springboard into a story that illustrates the problems of your audience. Show you understand the problems they are facing, and introduce the solution.
Recognising what your customer needs emotionally rather than functionally is the key. Focus on the emotional benefits rather than the features and you'll win their favour, loyalty and custom.
People don't like sales pitches but they do love stories.
this is a great blog Lisa! I'm up early, on the computer looking for tutorials on effective writing for the net – and I don't have to go further than my sister's website – how cool is that?!

Line Drawing Citroen Cactus Havas Worldwide Agency Press Ad
February 28, 2015 by Jitesh
Havas Worldwide Citroen Cactus Press Ad
Citroen Cactus Dot to Dot Drawing Top Gear Magazine
Havas Worldwide London advertising agency commissioned a drawing for the new Citroen Cactus car. The drawing was commissioned for a press ad campaign, the ad was printed in well-known car magazine such as BBC Top Gear magazine, which has a large reader base and is very popular.
The concept and briefing for the new Citroen Cactus car were to illustrate the car as a dod to dot line drawing. The dot to dot drawing had to be detailed enough to be able to see the critical features of the Citroen Cactus car. the outstanding features of the car which would be drawn and visible for the press ad we the front end of the car, the front wall and the rear lights, the rest were drawn as dots for the dot to dot illustration.
The difficult and complex execution of the illustration was to make sure anyone who wanted to try and complete the dot to dot illustration of the Citroen Cactus was able to do so and complete the car. I figured out with a little bit of trial and error the placements of the dots so that they could be easily followed by anyone who tried. Overall the objective of the brief was to first convey the shape of the car, and the second being a working dot to dot line drawing illustration.

I absolutely loved my stay here. The staff make you feel like you're at home, incredibly generous and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Loved the cooking class and learning about rangoli. Absolutely recommend this hotel.
We were coming from Ranthambore National Park after couple days of tiger safari. On our way to Mumbai. Great hotel approx 25mins outside old Jaipur. Away from hustle. Next door is bigger and more famous Taj Rambaug Palace hotel. Guests from SMS can go there and have drinks as we did it or have a meal and book it to their room. Food options are good even for vegetarians. Breakfast is hotel buffet. Also very good. Service is great and at Taj high standards most of the time. Would definitely recommend.
Check in was smooth. Room was very tastefully done, some minor lapses in bath-room with respect to house-keeping were quickly remedied. In-room heater was appreciated. Loved the attached restaurant. Limited spread readily available, guests encouraged to order from the menu (for breakfast, at no extra charge). This ensures food is not wasted. We ate at the restaurant both breakfast and dinner and the food was awesome. Front desk staff is great, would like to especially commend Atirah. Limited access to Taj Rambagh Palace, which is somewhat of an issue. Great location. Good wi-fi.
GOOD BUDGET STAY , SPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET THE ENTIRE RAMBAGH PALACE FACILITIES ALSO TO USE.

All too often in training, I can get carried away with wishing my body could do just a little bit more. I wish I could handle a little higher mileage, keep up with Jorge on every climb, or have a little less trouble with altitude. Looking at the great runners in our sport, I can't help but wonder why such (mostly) down to earth people have such super human abilities.
However, my perspective revolved again this past week. Our lovely Santa Ana Winds were blowing all week long flushing desert dust and the toxic fumes of the LA basin through my lungs. After a few days of breathing it in on some hard runs, I started to get a sore throat. Though it seemed like a normal completely unhealthy LA occurrence, I woke up Sat morning with a lot of phlegm and sinus pressure.
The day's run at Mt. Badly seemed like it may be good for me; clean mountain air high above the layer of chemicals and dust covering LA. However, it was also cold and dry air, and by the end of our last climb back to the Notch, my throat was so painfully raw, I was wincing and gritting my teeth with each swallow.
I called it a day until later in the evening when I figured out a buff around the mouth could lock in enough moisture to let me sneak in another 6 miles. We camped at 6,000 ft where the temperatures went down to 23 F overnight. Though I had a 0-degree sleeping bag, my throat was still taking a lot of dry cold air.
I awoke in the morning with a fever and headache. When I tried to regroup and run at Chantry, I couldn't jog a few steps without my whole body aching. I ended up watching Katie take off for a productive Chantry-Wilson-Sturdevant loop while I laid in the sun, petted goats at the pack station, and read about the wild times of resorts, cable cars, and mines in the San Gabriels (today they're pretty quiet).
As I sat out Sunday and Monday, thoughts of missed miles crept in which lead to some jealous thoughts about other healthy runners still training.. Until I tried to run Tuesday.
I've had trouble breathing before at altitude (over 9,000 ft up), and experienced it's humbling effect. However, this morning, it was at about 200ft above sea level on a small 400ft climb. I found my lungs struggling to get enough air to push myself up a hill that I'd climbed many times with considerable ease. Mountain bikers, hikers, fitness walkers all had struggled as I casually shuffled by them with a noticeably smaller fraction of effort. Often times, the nod I gave would pass by before they could muffle a reply or meet my gaze fully.
And as I pushed up this simplistic, plebeian "climb" I made it no more than 100ft before I started to.. walk. The pro-biotics I had taken the night before had been so effective that my immune system had coated my lungs and throat in nickelodian gak-grade phlegm. I coughed and wheezed and gaked as hard as I could to clear my throat but my goal 8 mi run was splatted down to a humbling 4 miles that involved more walking that running.
It was quite the site, a 24 year old male in short running shorts acting like a 80 year old man in the middle of an asthma/heart attack. All the while though, my mind was thinking some very grateful thoughts: I was experiencing a very slow and difficultly humbling run only once this week. I was healthy enough to bounce back and be back to my trail dusting ways by the evening, but for the moment, I was 100% in the shoes of my haggard trail companions. I realized how lucky I was to move with such relative ease. The perspective of lacking the talent of the big dogs was incredibly short sighted. Though I'm still looking to find ways to run faster, I'm much more appreciative of what I do have, and how lucky I am to have it. No lung cancer, asthma, arthritis, or prosthetic limbs have impeded me so far.
I think this should be a good motivation to get out for anyone really though. The elderly man I see each morning still doesn't need a wheel chair. The group of women talking and walking are doing so under their own strength, not with an orderly pushing them around a dully decorated hallway. Does anything on TV beat such an experience?
Not quite 100 miles, but in 5 days of decent health to run, I'm okay with it. Especially still being able to hi 15,000ft.
I think that thing on you upper lip is harboring bacteria and making you sick, so bleach that mustache, that'd look awesome.
But the moustache is a staple for now, and you'll to kill me and rip it off my cold, dead upper lip to get rid of it.


It's that time of year and the pumpkins are back! This easy pumpkin bundt cake would go down a treat at any Halloween or autumnal themed party and nobody would guess it was gluten free!
Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease your bundt cake tin thoroughly.
Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, preferably with an electric whisk.
Gradually add the eggs, the vanilla extract and natural yoghurt.
Once combined, add the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, spices and zest and blend to combine, along with ½ a can of pumpkin puree.
Pour your batter into the mould and bake for 30-40 minutes until risen and a when a skewer is poked through the sponge, it comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
While your cake is cooling, make a thick icing using the icing sugar and water. Add water or icing sugar until you get an icing of a thick consistency. Drizzle this over the cake as you wish and finish with candied fruit and orange peel.
This cake also works great with a cream cheese frosting if you wish to try a slightly different topping, and you can also throw sultanas or currents into the sponge for a little extra depth!
When it comes to Halloween, I also love my marshmallow ghost cupcakes and chocolate orange 'pumpkins' – see the recipes for both HERE.
I hope you have a fantastic Halloween and enjoy the autumn festivities. Let me know which kind of recipes you love this time of year?!
