Some more fun and games in the continuing Houston soccer stadium saga. Seems Harris County has a records building located on land covered by the Letters of Intent the City signed last week. But, the good news for Dynamo fans is that the warehouse is privately owned and the landlord can kick the County out . . . so another mini-battle in the never ending City of Houston/Harris County war.
Don't expect too much from the Dynamo on Friday's Super Draft, they sit with the 42 and 56 picks. I'm guessing that Dom will be looking to add some depth up front and maybe find a back-up goal keeper.
Please note that the link to the Houston Chronicle also discusses the possible future, or lack thereof, to InterLiga, which was won by Club America (I recently covered the games held here in Houston this month for World Soccer Wrap and this Blog). Seems the players and coaches aren't happy with the tournament.
The unfortunate thing is that Fulham is in relegation territory right now. Can Eddie help them turn things around? Will Clint Dempsey stay on if Fulham is relegated? Please, let me know what you think. I am a Clint Dempsey fan, he has heart and drive and I think his experiences in Europe will help him and the USMNT. I would love to see this young Texan move to A.S. Roma, maybe replace Mancini (who can be spectacular on the pitch, but can also be a disaster waiting to happen) if he goes to Man City.


Q: Who do I call if I need to know what size driveway culvert I need?
A: The County Highway Department 731.364.2284 can send someone out to size your culvert and advise you on a suitable location for proper drainage of your ditches.
Q: How do I know the right of way of my road?
A: It is best if you call the County Highway Department at the number above and ask. Some roads have different right of ways.
Q: What steps do I take if there is a pothole on my road?
A: Call the County Highway Department and let us know the location. We have two crews taking care of these matters daily.

Harley-Davidson Announces Operations in India
Company to Assemble Select Models from U.S.- Supplied Assembly Kits
Milwaukee, Nov. 2, 2010 – Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE:HOG) is moving forward with the launch of operations in India to assemble motorcycles for the Indian market from component kits supplied by its U.S. plants, the Company announced today. The Company expects the CKD (complete knock-down) assembly facility to be operational in the first half of 2011.
The announcement comes as President Barack Obama prepares to travel to India on a state visit focused on trade and business opportunities between the two countries.
"CKD assembly operations in India are a natural next step for Harley-Davidson as we build our brand presence around the world," said Harley-Davidson Motor Company President and Chief Operating Officer Matthew S. Levatich. "This investment will allow us to improve our responsiveness and production flexibility while reducing the tariff burden, which we expect will drive growth over time by making our bikes more accessible to India's consumers. Given the strong response we have received in the initial months of retail operations, we believe this is the right investment for this important market," Levatich said.
To date, Harley-Davidson India has been importing completely assembled motorcycles from the Company's U.S. final assembly plants. Once the Indian CKD assembly facility in the Indian State of Haryana is operational, Harley-Davidson India will import CKD kits for select current models, consisting of components produced by Harley-Davidson's U.S. plants in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Missouri and by the company's suppliers. Indian employees at the Haryana facility will then assemble the components into finished motorcycles. Other models will continue to be imported as completely built motorcycles for now.
India will be the second country in which Harley-Davidson has CKD assembly operations outside the U.S.; the other is Brazil, where the Company began assembly operations in 1999.
"We are committed to growth in India for the long term," said Levatich. "India's rapidly growing economy, rising middle class and significant investment in new roads and highways are paving the way for leisure motorcycle riding."
"We are building a strong foundation for our business in India, first by establishing a world-class dealer network, and now by commencing CKD assembly operations" said Anoop Prakash, Managing Director for Harley-Davidson India.
Harley-Davidson India commenced operations in August 2009 and opened its first dealership in July 2010. The Company currently offers 12 models in its 2010 line-up in India, available through authorized dealerships in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh and Hyderabad. For more information, visit the Harley-Davidson India web site at
_Harley-Davidson, Inc. is the parent company for the group of companies doing business as Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC) and Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS). Harley-Davidson Motor Company produces custom, touring and cruiser motorcycles and offers a complete line of parts, accessories, riding gear and apparel.

Lady of the Vine
From DivNull RPG
Revision as of 23:30, 30 November 2009 by imported>Wordman
Art by ArtisAllan
The Lady of the Vine is a Forest Walker spirit in the Forgotten Suns campaign.
Thee Lady's visions of the future distract her from what is happening in the present while she is talking, giving her a detached and somewhat eerie demeanor. She tends to be calm and polite, even when angered.
Like all Forest Walkers, the Lady can take the shape of any creature in her jungle, as well as a human of any size. When dealing with humans, she finds it advantageous to use the form of a beautiful naked woman.
During and slightly after the First Age, the Lady invested significant effort in wagering with others of her kind, in spite of her distance from the forests of the east. As other forest walkers viewed her jungle with varying degrees of distaste, winning these bets became critically important to the Lady. She struck deals with a number of sidereal astrologers to vary outcomes in her favor. This plan lost its luster when she was double-crossed by one of her fortune tellers who had made a better deal with a rival forest walker.
Soon after, she became obsessed with gaining her own ability to read the future, going so far as to consult with demons, attempting to bargain for knowledge of prognostication charms. This act did not sit well with her superiors in the celestial bureaucracy, who decided to punish her by giving her just what she wanted. They cursed her to see the many paths the future might hold whether she wanted to or not (see sidebar, above).
Though this new sight has proved useful to the Lady from time to time, mostly it is a hindrance and distraction. As a result of this punishment, the Lady is a model citizen of the bureaucracy (with a pair of powerful allies in Yu-Shan) and now avoids the wagers of her brethren. She tends to avoid supernatural control of her jungle, letting it grow where it will.
Though her contact with mortals is limited, she has cultivated a number of small cults along the edges of the jungle. Originally intended as a way to prevent mortals from hacking the jungle away, her cult now blesses her with thousands of worshipers a day. About a hundred of these cultists are fanatically loyal.
While she doesn't mind the changing nature of the jungle, the Lady works to prevent the jungle from changing too radically, and is always on guard for such threats (a band of solars claiming a manse, or an invading undead army, for example). The possibility of claiming the demense upon which the manse is built interests her marginally.

Neckting – A Dying Art?
I am a retired former corporate exec who from his earliest days automatically put on a necktie every day of the week except Saturdays. On Sunday, before Mass, I usually selected a more serious-looking tie, one that perhaps upon reflection seemed to have a spirit of prayer or calmness about it.
The knot I automatically tied was the Windsor, named after King Edward, after abdication, titled the Duke of Windsor, who did not invent the knot, but was the first world-famous person to adopt it as his own. Needless to say, it is still the world's first choice among various knot options, which include the four-in-hand knot, (the most common), the Pratt knot (or the Shelby knot), the Half-Windsor knot and the Windsor also called the "Full Windsor." The Duke of Windsor liked a voluminous knot and achieved that look by having his nectkies made of thicker cloths.
Ties for over a century have often indicated the wearer's membership in a club, college or regiment. In the 1880s the oarsmen at Exeter College, Oxford, tied the bands of their straw hats around their necks beginning a long tradition followed to this day. The most common pattern for such ties in the UK and Europe consists of diagonal stripes of alternating colors running down from the wearer's left. Typically, in America, striped ties are worn with no connection to a group membership and the stripes run downward toward the wearer's right. When Americans wear ties as a sign of membership, the European stripe design may be used.
In the 1977 movie, Annie Hall, actress Diane Keaton wore a necktie, which inspired a modest trend for women to wear ties with a suit jacket.
Ties have traditionally been worn when attending formal or professional events, including weddings, important religious ceremonies, funerals, job interviews, court appearances and fine dining. In the 21st century, noted for its casual fashion statements, the tie is often left at home. For sixty years, manufacturers of neckties in the U.S. were members of the Men's Dress furnishings Association but the trade group shut down in 2008 as a result of declining numbers of men wearing ties.
I write books about Abraham Lincoln (The Secret War Diaries of Abraham Lincoln – Including His Recurring Dreams) which are found on Amazon.com and Kindle. In most formal photos of Lincoln, he is seen wearing a large black silk bow tie that has the appearance of a knot hastily executed.
Historically, the modern necktie can be traced to Croatian mercenaries serving in France during the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). The men wore small, knotted neckerchiefs. When France won a hard-fought victory over the Ottoman Empire, Croatian soldiers were presented to Louis XIV, a monarch noted for personal adornment. He saw their officers wearing brightly colored handkerchiefs fashioned of silk around their necks. These cloths struck the fancy of the King, and he soon made them an insignia of royalty as he created a regiment of Royal Cravates. The word "cravat" was derived from the term, á la cravate – in the style of the Croats. It soon became a fashion craze in Europe; both men and women began to wear pieces of cloth around their necks. Even to this day, International Necktie Day is celebrated on October 18 in Croatia and in Dublin Tübingen, Como. Tokyo, Sydney and other towns.
I walked into my clothes closet this morning and glanced over my necktie collection. I had recently given about 5 or 6 of them to two of my sons. Among the rest I noted this array: several from the Save The Children collection, one showing brown and white children playing ball. Another showing brown and white hands meeting with American flags on shirt cuffs. Three feature colorful flower images. One sailing vessels with red, blue, pink and orange sails. One green, gold and black Scottish tartan of the Ross family. A blue tie featuring golfers. A holiday tie of colored light bulbs. Several Dona silks from Success in Style. And my favorite, a Gucci silk from Italy in pale green with a thin black design. And finally, from American Artifacts, a crossword puzzle-themed tie of black and silver-gray.
Now that Success in Style has reopened, I plan to rejuvenate my necktie array with a few choice new silks from Italy and Paris. Shirts are shirts and jacket are jackets, but only a tie can make a significant difference in how a man may look his absolute best. Vive la Cravate!

Congratulations to violinist Jiakai Pan on winning the Houston Youth Symphony Concerto Competition! His orchestral group, Le Octet, were also recently chosen as 2015 Houston Young Artists by the non profit organization, Houston Young Artists Concert.
Jiakai is one of the outstanding high schoolers to pass through our doors for portraits this past year. He has been named to the TMEA All-State Symphony Orchestra for the past two years!
On top of that, winning the Houston Youth Symphony Concerto Competition put Jiakai on another level altogether. It called for something special, something to mark this celebrated milestone in Jiakai's high school career.
See Jiakai in action on May 3, 4pm at Rice University's Stude Concert Hall. He will be performing the 1st movement of Barber's Violin Concerto with the HYS Symphony led by Dr. Michael Webster.


We can use the EOMONTH and DAY functions to get the number of days in the month when we already have a single date. The steps below will walk through the process.
Our DAY function is always equal to the number of days in the month. The EOMONTH function checks the date in Cell B4 and returns the date corresponding to the last day of the month we specified. Next, the DAY function works on the data derived by the EOMONTH and return with the total number of days for that month.

Anyway, just wanted to share my memories of the day Princess Diana died. Not because we were close friends or anything, but because I (along with Kristina and Anne) was literally in the middle of it.
In May 1997, we moved to London with student work visas, which allowed us to work in Britain for six months. Our initial plan was to stay in London a few months, make some money, then spend some time backpacking around Europe. Well, after being in London for a few weeks, we decided to forgo the backpacking bit and just stay in London as long as humanly possible.
Anyway, Kristina and I worked in offices around the West End, and Anne worked in a pub. We made friends. We spent our money on beer and rent. It was a glorious summer. Britpop (my favorite music, I was obsessed) was in full swing, the weather was gorgeous, we were young! We had no responsibilities!
One night, we got a phone call in the middle of the night. Or maybe early the next morning (look, it was 20 years ago, okay?) from one of Kristina's friends, asking if we'd heard the news. We hadn't, because Diana was killed in the middle of the night for us. We woke up to the news of her death.
It was sad, of course. But what was nuts was how close we were to everything. The tube station we took to work was the Gloucester Road station. If you left the station and walked down Gloucester Road, you'd eventually come to the front door of Kensington Palace. And that's what everyone (or so it seemed) in the United Kingdom was doing. Walking from the station to the palace, with flowers.
It was nearly impossible to cross the street to get to the pub. Or to walk against the tides of people to get to the station. It was crazy. The front of the palace was a tide of bouquets. Flowers, notes, stuffed animals, everything.
A few days later, Kristina and Anne took a long-planned trip to Amsterdam (where they had originally met.) I was too broke, so I stayed behind. I remember thawing our tiny freezer with a hair dryer, and then leaving the flat to go watch the funeral procession down Kensington High Street.
Seeing the flowers with "Mummy" on top of the casket was the saddest thing in the world.
That's about it. After it passed, I went back to the flat and probably watched it on TV. I don't know. And that's pretty much the whole story. Not exciting, but it's kind of…interesting to have been so close to it.
Let me think…it was a beautiful day, November 12, 2005. At some point, we all went to the hairdresser and got our hair did.
My beautiful sister, always so sunny.
The back was so dreamy.
Then I guess we went to the church to get ready? Something like that?
The ubiquitous pink petticoat, dyed by myself.
Meanwhile, I suppose the boys were getting ready too? Probably involving some flasks?
George and Lindsay, his best woman.
And then we took lots of pictures, but none of the bride and groom together.
The "Reservoir Dogs" photo. Quentin Tarantino has actually seen this, but that's another story for another day.
And then people started arriving and my brother walked me up the aisle and we got married!
Evan and I wait outside.
Then we took more pictures while the guests got candles and walked the two or three blocks to the reception hall.
Making our way to the reception, post-photos.
My friend Paula's kids didn't burn down anything, don't worry.
Then we took more pictures, ate some cake, danced a little bit, talked to people, you know, all that reception stuff you do.
Rose petals. In monogrammed cones, of course.
WHAT? I totally didn't throw it right to Kiki! Okay, yes I did. They got engaged right after we got home from the honeymoon.
All the Single Ladies was not yet a song, thank goodness.
The also ubiquitous mid-aughts candy bar.
Kiki and Jenny were not prepared to make a speech.
I guess we gave a speech?
A little bit of my family.
The most uncomfortable first dance in history.
Our beautiful cake, made by my friend Angela.
The cake table. So much delicious.
I guess my dress didn't fit in the Corolla.
And that was our wedding. It really was the best wedding. I mean, the best one I've had so far, for sure.
I'm not going to post about Katrina again here, but I'll point you to the post I wrote about my experience on the New Orleans Moms Blog.
And here are the posts I wrote at the time (and a few after).
I just got a box of old photos scanned, so I can now share pictures from the olden days of FILM. I know, you're so excited, right?
Well, now I can blog about the best six months of my youth…May to November 1997. While I could write for days about it, I won't torment you that much. But I do want to share a little. For posterity.
To give you some background…I was supposed to graduate from college in 1997, but because I was a bit of a slacker, I still had a few semesters left. I decided to take a semester off and move to Seattle for a little while. My brother and his wife lived there, and I loved visiting. I bought my plane tickets and was looking into apartments and jobs while two of my best friends, Kristina and Anne, were making plans for their own sojourn to London and Europe. They were going to work for a while, through an organization called BUNAC. They would get work visas, and would live and work just like any other British person.
One day, my Brit-pop-obsessed self thought, "why am I going to Seattle, when I could go to LONDON? Home of my favorite musicians?" and I pretty much decided then and there that I'd be joining Kristina and Anne.
Okay, I won't talk about how jet-lagged we were and all that stuff, because that would make this post literally a bajillion words long. Pictures, instead. Isn't that the point?
We lived in a cute, tiny basement flat in Kensington, very close to Kensington Palace. We lived there when Princess Diana died. Very surreal.
Kristina and I went to an outdoor music festival and got locked out of our flat and had to sleep on the steps.
For our last couple of months, we lived in a different flat in Marble Arch with our friend Marianne. We spent many long evenings playing cards and drinking cheap beer from the liquor store across the street.
And we had a bit of crush on Tony Blair.
Oh, shoot. These pictures don't convey what an amazing summer and autumn that was. We worked random jobs (I temped at an architecture firm, a boxing magazine, and a charity for the blind, among many other things) and spent many, many, many evenings in pubs. We would meet for lunch in a park off Oxford Street, hungover more often than not.
I started out back when blogging software wasn't readily available. Maybe it was, I'm not sure. I just kept everything in HTML files, but I've been working on transferring them to WordPress so you can read them in all their glory.
In April 2001, I was 26 years old, overweight, completely out of shape, and smoked a pack a day. I decided it was time for a change.
If you know me, you know I like to do things big. One baby? No way, let's do three. So I wasn't going to start by walking, I was going to go right into running. And that's what I did. Obviously, I wasn't very fast, nor could I go very far, but it helped. And to keep myself from quitting (like I'd done so many times before), I signed up for the 2002 London Marathon in April of the following year. Sending in the deposit ensured that I had to do it. I roped my friend Chris to doing the marathon with me, as an even greater incentive.
So that's what I did. I quit smoking, started running, and finished the marathon a year later. Sure, I was passed by a one-legged guy at the end. I never said I was fast!
Who could have guessed that ten years later, I'd still be blogging?
You know, I kind of feel like a fraud for posting about Katrina. We didn't lose much, our house was mostly fine, and our lives pretty much got back to normal pretty quickly. But it's hard to avoid thinking about it, so I may as well post something.
Let's see. Five years ago, I was up to my eyeballs in wedding planning. Our wedding was scheduled for November 12, 2005. I had my very first dress fitting scheduled for Saturday, August 27. I was insanely excited about it. I adored my wedding dress, and when George said I might need to reconsider driving an hour north to the dress shop when we should be getting ready to evacuate…well, I declined.
The thing is, on Friday night, no one thought much of Katrina. But there was a Saints game that night, so no one was watching the weather. No one except George (who hates football.) So he got up bright and early on Saturday to board up the windows, and I headed to my dress fitting. People were walking by the house as George nailed up the plywood, looking at him like he was nuts.
My plan was to go directly to my mom's after that (an hour west of the dress fitting) for my sister's friend's baby shower. I loaded up the car with enough clothes for the weekend, and George was going to meet me at my mom's later that day, after he was done with the house stuff.
By Saturday afternoon, people were starting to realize this was going to be a big deal. George barely managed to get Stinky (the cat) into her carrier, and thank god he did. We still thought we'd be home by Tuesday, so he considered just leaving her at the house with a ton of food and water.
To make a potentially very long story short, thirteen people, two dogs, a cat and a bird ended up staying at my mom's house to ride out the storm. One friend didn't know where her husband was. No one knew if their houses were flooded or destroyed. We ended up staying at my mom's house for a few weeks, then we drove up to Washington DC to get away from it all for a while. Upon returning, George was all set to go back to our house, when Hurricane Rita hit, and the city was once again closed.
It was a frustrating time. Too many people in a house not meant to hold that many. Too many people in a city (Baton Rouge) not meant to hold that many. But we were so lucky. We did have to move our wedding from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, but no matter. It was beautiful and our friends and family were there. We went on an awesome honeymoon in England and Wales.
Anyway. Sorry for the nonsensical post.
Sorry I haven't updated in a while – I'm on vacation! Sheesh. There has, of course, been much excitement but I'll post more when I get home. With pics. Of Morrissey! And Emily and Ellie, of course.
Today we're going to a cave. Can you guess whose idea that was?
No Emily yet…but soon! Jenny's at the hospital now getting induced. I won't be able to post until I get home from work, so everyone, keep your fingers crossed that this isn't a loooonnnng labor, and that by the time I get home from work, I have something to write about!
Okay, okay, I know, lame. I've been lame. I'm sorry! But I had to post today, if only to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIE! 2 years old today! woo hoo!
Of course, I'd really like to be talking and sharing about Emily, but she hasn't yet made her appearance. Soon, I hope. TODAY would be awesome, don't you think? Fingers crossed!
Didn't do a whole lot this weekend. We're leaving for San Francisco and Monterey on Thursday evening, so I had some design work to catch up on. I've been so busy with it, it's great! But doesn't leave a lot of free time in the evenings and on weekends.
I did borrow Liam, our friend's kid, to go to Teresa's work's family day in the French Quarter. It was fun, and MAN that kid can pack it away. Almost three, and he ate a bowl of jambalaya, half of my snowball, half a hot dog, and maybe that's it, but he's little, okay?
Okay, must get ready for work now.
Ugh. Just checking in to say I'm sick. Full of snot. Sorry. Tis true.
Okay, now I must go to work. Just didn't want anyone to think I was neglecting my blog. Ha ha ha! Me, neglect this blog? Never!

Perfect Surf Hostel. Cozy Place with Lovely Employees. I will visit again.
Super great Hostel, super nice and friendly staff. The host of the hostel has great recommendations for the island. You can check out the waves from the terrace on the top, great place for a nice get together after a long day of surfing or exploring.
Alejandro is the best! He recommended so many places to go and all of them were great! Many local restaurants and places to go, far away from the tourists groups and quite cheap. I had an awesome time in that beautiful renovated and decorated hostel. It's a good place to meet people, do some surfing and yoga. Thanks a lot for that wonderful holiday!


It started out as a teeny online shop and now it has a physical presence in the real world – hawking its camerawares at camera aficionados with reckless abandon. They say the word 'boring' isn't in their vocabulary and we have to agree, as evidenced by their catalogue of bright and beautiful cameras including Superheadz, Lomography, Holga and Fuuvi.
We, for one, cannot resist cutesy cameras shaped like juice boxes. Apart from these precious items, you can also get digital toy cameras, instant cameras, camera accessories, film and expert advice from people who are truly passionate about photography.

Q: Is it possible to reference variables defined in different configuration files in grails? I've seen several similar questions but I haven't found a solution. Apologies if this is a duplicate.
My datasource is MongoDB and its properties are being defined in an external configuration file by the user like so :
External Datasource File
mongo {
    host = "mongohost"
    port = 27017
    databaseName = "myDatabase"
}

This is fine and its been working well for quite a while.
The problem has arisen now that I've added quartz to the application. I need to define the datasource for quartz in a Quartz configuration file.
QuartzConfig.groovy
quartz {
    autoStartup = true
    jdbcStore = false
    waitForJobsToCompleteOnShutdown = true
    exposeSchedulerInRepository = false

    props {
        scheduler.skipUpdateCheck = true
        jobStore.class="com.novemberain.quartz.mongodb.MongoDBJobStore"
        jobStore.mongoUri="${mongo.host}"
        jobStore.addresses="${mongo.host}"
        jobStore.dbName="quartz"
        jobStore.collectionPrefix="quartz"
        threadPool.threadCount=1
    }
}

The host should be the same as the user defined host in the external datasource. I can't seem to be able to access the mongo.host variable no matter what I try. One option would be to require the user to specify quartz configuration in the external file too but I don't want to do that as I want to keep that file as basic as possible. I'd like to just reuse the mongo.host variable.
Does anyone know how?
Note
I'm using the quartz-mnongo class developed here https://github.com/michaelklishin/quartz-mongodb if anyone who is using quartz stumbles across the question and finds it strange that I have mongo configuration options.

Background: The implementation of a dynamic warm-up is a widely accepted practice amongst athletes in many sports, but less common in freestyle snow sports (i.e. skiing and snowboarding). Moreover, in freestyle skiing and snowboard there are extended periods (transition phase = 10 to 15 min) of time following the warm-up where athletes are inactive and exposed to extremely cold temperatures (-30 to -10 o C). These transition periods exacerbate the issue of maintaining body temperature and physical readiness in the extreme cold. The literature regarding the effectiveness of a warm-up and its residual benefits during transition phases in cold temperatures is limited. Purpose: To examine the effects of a neuromuscular warm-up (NWU), dynamic re-activation (RA), and passive re-warming (PRW) on squat jump (SJ) in snow sport athletes under extremely cold environmental conditions. Methods: Nine freestyle snow sport athletes (age = 21.1 ± 5.0 years; Mean ± SD) volunteered to participate in this study. A randomised repeated measures cross-over design was used. Following the completion of a standardised NWU, participants sat inactive in a temperature controlled industrial freezer (-20 to -18 o C) wearing cold weather training clothing. At specified time points, participants completed a vertical SJ protocol as the performance measure. The participants completed both experimental conditions (RA or PRW) on separate occasions, where they performed a dynamic RA or PRW, 20 min following the NWU. Five SJ were performed at the following time points: 14 min (4 min post NWU), 18 min (8 min post NWU), 26 min (16 min post NWU), 39 min (4 min post RA or PRW), 43 min (8 min post RA or PRW), and 51 min (16 min post RA or PRW). Results: Jump height (JH), peak force (PF) and impulse (IMP) showed excellent inter-day reliability (ICC > 0.80; CV < 5.3 %) and were used to assess jump performance across the two conditions. Small to moderate significant reductions in JH (ES > 0.2; P < 0.10) were observed at 26 min, 39 min, 43 min and, 51 min of cold exposure time under both conditions. Small significant reduction in PF (ES > 0.2; P < 0.10) were also observed at 51 min in both conditions. JH and PF decreased by 9 % and 5 %, respectively following 51 min of cold exposure. Small significant differences (ES > 0.2; P < 0.10) were observed between the PRW and RA at 4 min and 8 min post. The RA protocol had a likely beneficial effect on JH at these time points. Discussion: Participants had varying individual responses to the RA with some experiencing improvements in JH (6 to 12 %), while other had a poor response to RA, and JH continued to decline (0 to -7 %). A NWU appears insufficient to combat the effects of cold exposure during transition phases where athletes are inactive for short periods of time (4 to 16 min). The implementation of RA strategies may reduce the negative impact of cold by increasing tissue temperature and providing a post activation potentiation (PAP) stimulus. However, RA protocols need to be individualised, as negative or negligible responses may occur in some athletes. It is likely that decreasing muscle temperature plays a significant role in the decline JH and PF.

Commissioner Rodney Creech discusses the commissioners' decisions on what to do with grant money during the Senior Fair Board meeting on Thursday, June 18.
EATON — During a meeting on Thursday, June 18, Preble County Senior Fair Board held a heated discussion regarding the best use of $875,000 awarded by the state.
County commissioners outlined a plan and presented it to the board, detailing various upgrades to buildings throughout the grounds, including much-needed work on the grandstand.
Fair Board member Mary Bullen pushed back at the meeting, voicing her displeasure with the decision. She noted the senior fair board decided the money should go toward projects that improve the safety, economic development, and overall look of the fairgrounds. She felt that upgrades to the electrical system throughout the grounds, and the addition of restrooms and showers to the Expo Center, were the most beneficial.
Other members on the board did not side with Bullen on the issue.
Commissioner Rodney Creech was also at the meeting and addressed Bullen's concerns. He stated that the original list of items handed to him by manager James Mays, detailing what should be upgraded, did not include electrical concerns. It wasn't until he received another list from Mays on April 13 that electrical upgrades were finally listed.
Creech also acknowledged that electrical upgrades are going to be critical for the fairgrounds, but upon inspection there are no safety issues, just normal maintenance, that is currently needed.
Bullen disagreed with Creech on the timeline he was portraying, and said that fixes to the electrical unit, over a few years, will reduce the cost greatly and will pay for themselves in time.
He continued, commissioners plan to use any money left over from the upgrades to go toward electrical improvements and said they are already looking at future grants. He has a vision to add a unit onto the Expo Center that includes bathrooms and showers, but also includes a kitchen and meeting rooms.
"If the Expo was number one and electrical was two – we're not fixing the grandstands. Not getting pavement. Those are the two biggest safety issues," said Creech.
Construction is expected to start within 30 days, with some improvements being finished by fair time.
The board passed the commissioners' list with only Bullen opposing the motion.
In closing the argument, Bullen voiced her displeasure on the process.
Other board members stated that they did not feel "dishonored" and that it was only Bullen's opinion.
In other business at the meeting, the Ohio Department of Agriculture has determined that eggs can be allowed at the fair as long as the eggs are "clean." Thus, the Preble County fair will now include eggs. All other poultry still remain banned.
The board also approved a raise for EMT personnel at the fairgrounds, bringing them from $8 per hour to $10 per hour.
The board renewed a contract with Dayton Power and Light which locks the Fairgrounds in at $.6375 per kilowatt through 2019.
It was announced swings will be added to the Rotary Junction area, as they are being installed by area Boy Scouts for a project.
The board will be asking the Brooke-Gould Memorial Foundation for a $12,000 grant to be used for a new flag pole.
The meeting closed with members of the Junior Fair Board discussing their concerns on not being included by the Senior Fair Board. The group claimed to have never received notification from the 4-H office about the ODA's decision to ban poultry, and are displeased with the communications during this process employed by the Senior Fair Board.

Everyone has dreams, ambitions and goals, though not everyone chases them. Do not fail to chase your dreams. Often you'll find they are attainable, though likely not easy.
I have recently celebrated three years as The F1 Poet. In these three years I have published a book (The F1 Book of Poetry), written almost 500 F1 poems, gained media accreditation via the FIA for Formula One, met wonderful people and had wonderful experiences that money can't buy.
My dream was to one day become an F1 journalist. Like many of you, F1 is one of my passion. I love to read and I love to write about it. A friend of mine helped me discover a hidden talent of mine… corny poetry. I became quite passionate about it actually and wrote poems about everything.
One day I decided to marry these two unlikely passions and The F1 Poet was born. My goal was to use F1 poetry to gain attention and interest in my writing. It worked. I gained a very small amount of fame, nothing like Twitter legend Fake Charlie Whiting (@Charlie_Whiting), nonetheless, enough to have people in the paddock actually know who I am.
It was the poetry and this blog which brought me closer to my dream. I was approached by several websites after my poetry became an almost regular feature on a web show called The Flying Lap, hosted by former F1 Ferrari and Williams man Peter Windsor. It was Peter who encouraged me to write the book. My work has been featured in magazines, websites, holiday greeting cards, radio shows (namely Ballz Visual Radio with Sasha Martinengo in South Africa) etc… I'm grateful to all who have supported me and continue to do so.
This project has offered me the opportunity to walk amongst my heroes and interview the most interesting F1 personalities. I have had breakfast with Mario Andretti, handed my Gilles Villeneuve tribute poem to his son Jacques, and my James Hunt tribute poem to his son Tom. I have forged relationships with many great people.
I realized that at my current age of 40, starting a new career in journalism although possible would not be realistic,. It would not be fair to my family to take the cut in pay and be away from home for months on end. In my daily life, I pay the bills as a global Disaster Recovery specialist in the IT field. I'm still very serious about motorsports in general and will continue to write poetry and features. Most of my work can be found at Richland F1, GPWeek and an e-Magazine called e-Racing Magazine which I started with my good Aussie friend, Trent Price.
I will continue to represent Canada in the F1 Paddock as long as they'll have me. I am happy in the knowledge that for a short while in my life, I walked where few have walked. Many bucket list items have been checked and it's all thanks to The F1 Poet Project.

essence of Japanese Budo
Contact between
Budo and dance
On this page, the Budo(martial arts) which Akira Hino practices are introduced and it is shown clearly how it has amazing influence on a "contact improvisation dance", other dance, all kinds of human activity.
I have been studying Japanese traditional martial arts=Budo.
The masters of the days of yore were a rare breed of people who sought to explore the potential of the human body.
■I put up videos on Facebook and YouTube not to show the labeled techniques and forms that can exist independently to achieve something.
They are about the elements of action the traditional BUDO(martial arts masters) in Japan had attained.
For example, I often show weight shift and reflex act in my videos, but they are not the means to achieve a certain end result such as throwing the opponent to the ground.
They are the elements of the whole movement that happens between people who are facing one another.
■March 2005, the eye-opening body' movement and the concept were brought into contemporary dancers in Germany by a Japanese Budo-ka.
Those dancers who are affiliated with the Forsythe company and William Forsythe himself. Hino had held a workshop according to the invitation of the company.
( Publication of the translation version is planned. )
Akira Hino has shown me the most significant example of human awareness that I have ever witnessed.
He has mastered a degree of perceptual unity so profoundly fundamental, that is almost incomprehensible to our contemporary sensibilities.
Akira Hino has devoted his time, his care, and his expertise to the training of my dance ensemble.
His influence on our work has been of inestimable value.
The source of his work resides in the heart of the most profound aspects of the danced.
The dancers who have the opportunity to work with Hino San will be fundamentally changed.
This work brings the body into an intimate and articulate relationship with the phenomenal world; a world that rejoices in the perfect and miraculous present.
(by William Forsythe)

Preface to the complete English translation of
"Kokoro no Katachi -- The Image of the Heart"
"When I met Takamatsu sensei, I turned myself into zero."
"I've never thought of myself. I'm just following the teachings of Takamatsu sensei."
Those are the words of Masaaki Hatsumi, Bujinkan Soke (great grandmaster).
Insightful words like them can be found as a common language among the very few masters in the history of Japanese culture.
Of course, it is not only in the world of Bugei (martial arts, Budo), but also in various fields of arts.
In a sense, the pupils in all fields train their skills in order to understand and embody the words of the masters in their arts.
The pupil's intense training is called "*shugyo*" (the physical, emotional, and spiritual practices of ascetic nature).
*Shugyo *in the modern context is the training to go beyond the ego, the "me."
Why is such training necessary? It is because when you can "turn yourself into zero," you reach the sensitivity that promises the infinite growth of a human being.
Of course, it is an extremely difficult thing.
In the long history of mankind very few have actually achieved such a state.
But, it remains the highest of ideals in life to aim for that sensitivity.
Intuitive things, spiritual things, the things the body feels, the things the sensitivity catches...
It is difficult to verbalize or explain that which is invisible, something the eyes cannot directly see.
There is a huge gap, or an unbreakable wall between words and the reality they describe.
Especially the world view in the words stemming from the traditional Japanese culture is so deep and wide that it is beyond comprehension.
Consequently, it is very difficult to pass on the intangible culture like Bugei.
It is almost impossible to verbally transmit the result of the intense training, the highly refined sensitivity.
Unfortunately people tend to interpret the art by the things they can see, or "the form." It is that individual interpretation of the form that creates a big obstacle to the true understanding of Bugei.
Nonetheless, we the modern human beings rely on words and the visible form(movements). Although words are not the reality that matters, there are many clues scattered in the writings and speeches of the masters.
They are not the result we should replicate.
They are the hint to reach the invisible that sustains the form, which is the spirit and sensitivity of the masters-- their philosophy.
In "Kokoro no Katachi -- The Image of the Heart" I attempted to make the invisible visible mainly through Hatsumi Soke who embodies the essence of Bugei, along with the insights from the Japanese traditional wooden buildings and the master carpenters of the medieval period.
"It's not about the form.
It's about space," Soke often says so.
What is the true meaning behind it?
The book tackles and answers the question.
--- ------------
The book was first published in Japan in 2002 (and the second edition, in 2005).
Pedro Fleitas at Bujinkan UNRYU DOJO translated the book into Spanish and published it on my behalf at the time.
Afterwards the book has been translated into several languages.
Originally the book was written for Japanese readers.
It is not easy to comprehend the intuitive, sensuous words I use in the book even among Japanese.
So, I cannot even begin to imagine how it can be understood in other languages.
I have led many seminars and workshops abroad.
I have been invited to the Forsythe Company in Frankfurt, Germany (one of the top contemporary dance companies in the world) every year since 2005.
What I've been teaching there is the interactive human relationship as "the invisible."
My main teaching tool is my movement.
Concurrently I've also been researching and examining how my words could be understood in different cultures and languages.
In the midst of trial and error in verbal communication with people from other countries, I had met a wonderful translator who could convey my intention well.
Her translation seemed to be helping people to understand my method deeply.
Then I thought that they would enjoy reading "Kokoro no Katachi -- The Image of the Heart" as the origin of my philosophy.
The translator gladly took on the job.
And that is how this complete English translation came to be.
It would be my happiness if the book can give insights to those who are aiming for something higher, to those who are trying to overcome the ego, and to those who are practicing Budo sincerely.

Modder Nyx_Simmer has started working on a very special mod for The Sims 4 that could be a lot of work. However, he's already made some huge progress.
Ocean swimming is a highly requested feature for The Sims 4 that many simmers want to see in the game. Still, there are some limitations that the game currently sets such as the lack of terrain which would bring another limitation and that's animation and object / effects adjustment to different terrain levels.
We still don't fully know if ocean / lake / pond swimming is ever going to make its way to The Sims 4 but at least we have a modder who could make that wait much easier.
Nyx_Simmer is currently developing a mod that would simply "unlock" access to oceans, lakes and ponds that are currently available in The Sims 4.
Currently the modder still has to do a lot of work to get this mod out as there's a lot of factors that depend on making this mod fully functional. Entering the waters would require proper animations and effects and there are still a lot of lakes and oceans that need to be analyzed in order to make this mod functional in every area. Still, it seems that the modder has no plans to give up on it as of now.
As for now, the mod is still in pre-alpha phase. I need to analyze every height level of the oceans/lakes there are on the game. What you saw are two interactions made without an intro animation, and without effects. It's a simple mod, but a VERY time consuming one.
"another mod instead of a decent content" way to disregard someone's effort.. not everything's about you and not everyone's out there to pander to your criteria.. if you don't like what you see, then shut up and move on with your life.. or better yet, learn how to mod yourself and make that "decent content".. you truly do live up to the "dreadful" part of your name.
*standing ovation* Thanks! This summed up exactly what I felt when reading that comment! I think (s)he was really confused since the comparison between mods and "content" is moot because the modder is not a Game Dev! Truly a #facepalm moment!
This is so great! Thanks so much for working on it–can't wait to see it finished!


Athens, Ga. – A late goal by freshman, Alana Hockenhull was enough to lift No. 10 Clemson (4-0) over Georgia (0-4-1) 1-0 in Athens Friday night. Junior goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan was solid once again in goal with 11 saves for the Tigers recording her first shutout of the young season.
The game was scoreless until the 73rd minute when a cross from Claire Wagner found the foot of Alana Hockenhull to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead that they would hold until the end of the match. The goal was the first of Hockenhull's career at Clemson. Claire Wagner picked up her second assist in the same number of games for the Tigers.
"It was a good combination we got the ball in the middle and Tina Shakes got the ball out wide and I just tried to get the cross off and give it a chance and Alana had a great finish," said Wagner.
Head coach Eddie Radwanski was proud of the way his team battled and finished the game. "Anytime you go on the road you are going to face a little adversity and I was really pleased with how we opened the game. The kids found a way by getting the ball into wide positions like we had discussed and they did a good job of managing the game once we took the lead and finished with a win," said Radwanski.
The Tigers will be on the road again Monday, Sept. 7 at 6 p.m. for a match against Wofford before returning home Sunday, Sept. 11 to play Penn at 7 p.m. at Historic Riggs Field. As always admission is free to all regular season home games.


Over the weekend, people from across Iraq celebrated Armed Forces day. The celebrations commemorate the founding of the Iraqi army, which was established nearly 100 years ago in 1921. The event also remembers the sacrifices of those who lost their lives in the fight against ISIS.
The celebrations were even recorded in the city of Fallujah in Iraq's western Anbar Province, which has historically had a strained relationship with the armed forces and the central government.
At the end of 2012 and into 2013, protests took place across Anbar Province, including in Fallujah, with large numbers of people gathering to demonstrate against the government of the former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Furthermore, Fallujah was the first city in Iraq to fall to the so-called Islamic State at the beginning of 2014.
But following the liberation of Fallujah by the Iraqi Security Forces, people are now embracing the army. On the Armed Forces day, citizens took to the streets, adorning their cars with Iraqi flags and beeping their horns in appreciation of the sacrifices made by Iraq's soldiers.
Murals were made and vigils were held to remember those who sacrificed themselves in the fight against ISIS.
"There is an element of pain and sadness here," began Tariq al-Hatimi, a civil activist from Fallujah. "We remember the sacrifices made by the heroes of the Army. They gave their blood, their lives and all that they had in order to return our lands and cities from ISIS rule".
Following the defeat of ISIS in Iraq, life is being rebuilt in many liberated towns and cities. While displacement and the threat of the extremist group remains high, the post-ISIS landscape in Iraq is highlighting a growing sense of unity in the face of a fractured history.

Bushfire season for 2021 brings with it different conditions
We should be preparing for a vastly different bushfire season as the effects of La Niña are felt across the country, according to the Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: December 2020 – February 2021.
The Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre (BNHCRC) has released an important guide to Bushfire season 2020-2021
This warning comes from the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre (BNHCRC) as it releases its seasonal bushfire outlook.
It is warning that grass and crop fires are an area of concern over the summer months.
Farmers in grasslands in particular are being advised to remain cautious this summer as these types of fires are fast moving and can spread rapidly when fanned by strong winds.
Current conditions mean that our communities should be continuing to come together to prepare for the risks facing us over the coming summer.
While the south east and north west of the country have experienced much needed rain, this has led to grass growth, which will dry out as it gets warmer.
This map shows the most likely trouble spots for the period December 2020 to February 2021
On the other hand, Western Australia has missed out on this rainfall and conditions are set to be very dry, and will pose many fire risks.
The east coast will also need to stay alert as normal fire conditions are still expected for much of the forested areas.
While last year's fires burnt through millions of hectares, there is significant area that was not burnt.
Efforts are being made for landholders to working closely with local government, states and territories to keep Australians safe this summer. But everyone must remain vigilant.
The Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: December 2020 – February 2021 will be used by fire authorities to make strategic decisions such as resource planning and prescribed fire management to reduce the negative impacts of bushfire.
For anyone in areas at risk, it is extremely important that they are prepared and have an evacuation plan, and have everything at hand, in case you have to leave the property. Think it through, think about what you need to take with you.
Also, talk to your neighbours, ask them about their evacuation plan and let them know about your plan.
We all need to work together and look out for each other, and we'll get through the bushfire season with far fewer loses.
The BNHCRC Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: December 2020 – February 2021 can be found at https://bnhcrc.com.au/hazardnotes/85
These recommendations follow on from findings in the Bushfire royal commission released on 30 October 2020.
What to expect this Bushfire season
Australia's climate is now under the influence of La Niña, and as a result the landscape and weather conditions continue to be vastly different to the previous two years.
Weather conditions for the year to date, and the summer climate signals, mean that large parts of New South Wales west of the Great Dividing Range face above normal fire conditions, as well as grassland areas of the ACT and into north eastern Victoria.
Grass and crop fires are the main concern in these locations for the summer months as the growth dries out in the warmer weather.
Western Australia has largely missed out on the rainfall in 2020 and conditions are very dry, with parts of the south and south west coasts expecting above normal fire conditions through summer.
Video of Overview – Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: December 2020 – February 2021
It is important to remember that areas designated as normal fire potential may experience fires.
Fire is a regular occurrence across Australia, and it is important to remember that areas designated as normal fire potential will still see fires. Normal fire risk does not mean there is no risk.
The Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook is produced quarterly to be used by fire authorities to make strategic decisions such as resource planning and prescribed fire management to reduce the negative impacts of bushfire.

New rules for people who test positive for Covid
What are the new rules for people who test positive for Covid on lateral flow tests?
A positive lateral flow test cassette placed next to advice from the NHS COVID app (PA)
People who test positive for Covid on lateral flow tests will no longer need to get confirmation of the result from a PCR test.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has announced that from January 11 people in England who do not have symptoms of Covid but test positive on lateral flows will not need to take a PCR.
The change in rules is in order to free up capacity in laboratories for those who are symptomatic and take PCR tests.
Anyone who is positive on a lateral flow test will need to self-isolate immediately.
A member of NHS Test and Trace collects a sample from a member of the public at the drive-thru Covid-19 testing site (PA)
The UKHSA said it is a temporary measure while Covid rates remain high across the UK.
UKHSA chief executive Dr Jenny Harries said: "This is a tried and tested approach. With Covid cases high, we can confidently say lateral flow tests can be used to indicate Covid-19 without the need for PCR confirmation.
"If you test positive on an LFD, you should self-isolate immediately and register your result to allow contact tracing to take place.
"It also remains really important that anyone experiencing Covid-19 symptoms self-isolates and takes a PCR test via gov.uk, or by phoning 119.
"I'm really grateful to the public and all of our critical workers who continue to test regularly and self-isolate when necessary, along with other practical and important behaviours to limit transmission of the virus, as this is the most effective way of stopping the spread of infection and keeping our friends, families and communities safe."
Exceptions to the new rules include people who want to claim the Test and Trace Support Payment, those who are taking lateral flow tests as part of research and those who have a positive day two test result after they arrive in England.

Quantum information processing in the radical-pair mechanism: Haberkorn's theory violates the Ozawa entropy bound.
Department of Physics, University of Crete, 70013 Heraklion, Greece.
Institute for Theoretical and Computational Physics, University of Crete, 70013 Heraklion, Greece.
Radical-ion-pair reactions, central for understanding the avian magnetic compass and spin transport in photosynthetic reaction centers, were recently shown to be a fruitful paradigm of the new synthesis of quantum information science with biological processes. We show here that the master equation so far constituting the theoretical foundation of spin chemistry violates fundamental bounds for the entropy of quantum systems, in particular the Ozawa bound. In contrast, a recently developed theory based on quantum measurements, quantum coherence measures, and quantum retrodiction, thus exemplifying the paradigm of quantum biology, satisfies the Ozawa bound as well as the Lanford-Robinson bound on information extraction. By considering Groenewold's information, the quantum information extracted during the reaction, we reproduce the known and unravel other magnetic-field effects not conveyed by reaction yields.

Patrick J. Mullarkey Named President of United Spiral Pipe
PITTSBURG, Calif., Nov. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Spiral Pipe LLC (USP), a spiral welded tubular products manufacturing joint venture between United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X), POSCO and SeAH Steel Corporation, announced today that Patrick J. Mullarkey has been named president. The change was effective Nov. 15.
"Pat's strong leadership skills coupled with his extensive operations background, including his experience with U. S. Steel's spiral welded pipe operation in the Slovak Republic, make him an ideal fit to oversee this important joint venture operation," said David H. Lohr, senior vice president-strategic planning, business services & administration for U. S. Steel.
Mullarkey, 52, began his career in the steel industry with Inland Steel in East Chicago, Ind., in 1981 and moved through a series of supervisory and management positions in the company's iron and steel making operations. In 1994, he joined Raytheon Engineers & Constructors as the lead engineer for the blast furnace reline division and held that position until joining U. S. Steel in 2000.
Mullarkey's first assignment with U. S. Steel was area manager-operating and maintenance, South blast furnaces at Gary Works in Gary, Ind. After advancing through a series of increasingly responsible managerial positions, he was assigned to Gary Works' #14 Blast Furnace construction project in 2005. When the project was completed, Mullarkey transferred to U. S. Steel's Pittsburgh headquarters to serve as director-engineering project development. He was named vice president-technology at U. S. Steel Kosice (USSK) in the Slovak Republic in 2007 and assumed his most recent position as vice president-operations for USSK in March 2009 with responsibility for overseeing day-to-day operations of those facilities.
A native of Chicago, Mullarkey graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. He earned a master's degree in business administration from Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Ind., in 2004. Mullarkey, his wife, Carol, and their daughter will relocate to the Pittsburg area.
Located in Pittsburg, Calif., United Spiral Pipe (USP) is capable of producing 300,000 net tons of high-quality spiral welded line pipe per year to meet the needs of North America's natural gas and oil transmission projects. The facility manufactures pipe with outside diameters ranging from 24 inches to 64 inches using world-class pipe making and coating capabilities, including an advanced, automated two-step welding process that gives USP a competitive advantage.
U. S. Steel and Korean steelmaker POSCO each own 35 percent of the joint venture. They have been partners in USS-POSCO Industries (UPI), a steel finishing joint venture in Pittsburg, for more than 20 years. SeAH Steel Corporation (SeAH), a manufacturer of tubular products in the Republic of Korea, owns the remaining 30 percent of the joint venture and brings broad expertise in manufacturing spiral welded pipe to the company.
