So, um hi. I'm new to this, obviously, um I've been searching around for a few minutes, checked the guides and everything and I can't seem to find this issue anywhere. I'm also unsure how to tag this, so I'm sorry if the tags are vague and undiscriptive.
I've just installed the mod and the game. The game loads and runs fine, no issues what so ever. The mod installed fine, as far as I can tell. I've followed the instruction and have the game booting from the MBII client. The log file is included, like asked for. I go to boot the game from the launcher, and it starts, technically, but it stays on a small white windowed screen until it's shown as no longer responding.
No error messages. Nothing in the logs that I know of that mention the game not loading. Booting JA through Steam and loading the mod that way produces the loading screen for MBII, but it stays there indefinitely as well, without the (Not Responding).
I don't know what the heck could be going on. If you can help that would be very much appreciated, thank you.
tl;dr: Game patched, installed, game set to run to MBII Client because Steam Install not default, game loads to white window indefinitely.
EDIT: Forgot to upload log.
Does in run at all with JAMP Client?
This probably isn't your issue, but I'll reply anyway just in case it is. My game freezes if it smells any key presses/mouse clicks while it's loading. I've just learned to keep my hands off of my controls and let it do its thing until I'm loaded in.


On Saturday, with my real life BFF and occasional guest blogger, Tiff, in tow, we made the hour and twenty minute drive to check out NerdCon for K Love. It's not every day that you get to meet k-drama fans who wrote a book replicating the feelings and style of k-dramas. It's also not everyday that all of this happens in Pennsylvania — the place I've called home for twenty-nine years.
It was a very neat experience held at a library. Throughout the first floor, there were various tables set up with vendors selling stuff. This is not on a comic con size scale, but it was a nice experience. Tiff and I walked around for a while to admire the library itself and to see what the vendors were selling.
As we did another round of the library around 10:45, we spied the sign for K Love and then I saw Devon and Cornwall. Of course, I knew what they looked like thanks to pictures they've shared on their blog and from reaction videos like Goblin.
They had a few books and some bookmarks available. There was even a TV screen set up where they were playing some videos from youtube of k-dramas, which was a nice touch to lure in the passerby's. Although, as we chatted, the videos suddenly deviated to a series of The Heirs fan videos. Cue Lee Min Hottness, ugly sweaters, couple sweaters and sneakers, California coastal scenes, and some Park Shin Hye awkwardness.
We spoke about a whole slew of dramas — from recent ones such as Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and Goblin to Secret Garden and Queen In Hyun's Man. Because, hey, we're all k-drama fans and how can you not talk dramas for hours on end? I assure you, it's much easier than it looks!
They spoke a lot about their book and the challenges they've encountered. Some of these have been mentioned on their blog previously, but I'm just going to reiterate some of that information as I'm sure they'll be telling you all about it.
Incorporating Korean (as in the romanization of Korean) into the book posed a few challenges. Luckily, they had the help of a South Korean college student, (who is currently in school to become an English teacher) to help with some of the phrases. So, yes, we do see romanized Korean in the book, but only sporadically. Nonetheless, it's really fun to read. But as I'm not an expert, I did google some phrases for help.
Originally, Devon and Cornwall wanted to go the published route instead of the self-published route. Unfortunately, trying to explain k-dramas and what they were trying to do just left publishers confused. What genre did K Love fit into? Was it similar to a Telenovela? Maybe they could make it New Adult and spice up the content? (No, no, and more no. What blasphemy!) What exactly is a K-Drama?
These were just a few of the questions Devon and Cornwall faced. Ultimately, as we all know, they chose to go down the self-publishing road. And while that's harder and poses more challenges, I believe they are helping pave the way for future writers who are interested in writing the same kind of content. Much like new adult didn't exist until self-publishers such as Jamie McGuire, Colleen Hoover, Jessica Sorensen and Abbi Glines arrived on scene, it eventually exploded and books started to come out of the woodwork in that genre.
My sincere hope for the K-Rom genre is that we see a similar explosion.
Word of mouth is really going to be key here. The k-drama community is quite large and we're a passionate group. I think we can do it together. What do you say, k fans?
Anyway, back the story. I think we talked about K Love and k-dramas for almost two hours. We've watched and enjoyed a lot of the same k-dramas, so that kept conversation flowing. I felt a bit guilty for spending so much time with them, but we were just so excited to gush over K Love. Yes, that was my main reason for attending NerdCon.
In an effort not to take up all of their time, we left at 12:30 to get some much needed lunch. I'm sure if time permitted, we could have talked dramas even longer, but alas, we needed to let these ladies promote their book and hand out bookmarks. I wish we could have stayed longer and chatted some more about their book and k-dramas, but who knows where the future may lead? If they ever have book events or signings somewhere in PA, I may just pop up and cheer them on.
By the way, I binge-read K Love this weekend. I am currently doing some re-reading and jotting down a few additional notes. I hope to have my review up by 5/4/17 when the book officially releases. There will be two styles of reviews I'm doing: one for the k-drama fan and another for the general public. I figure that's the best way to review K Love. The k-drama-centric version will be posted exclusively here at my blog where I will delve deeper into tropes and all of the little Korean bits and bobs I picked up on. The more standard review (that doesn't break into too much k-drama fanfare) will be posted on the likes of Amazon and possibly Goodreads.
Teaser: I stopped reading many, many times to have little fangirl moments at the beginning. Oh the sweet, sweet anticipation I felt reading this book. Stay tuned!
P.S. I may have missed a few things, so there could possibly be a part 2 post.
So excited to read the book when it is officially out!!

By the terms of the agreement, the Clinton campaign agreed to raise money for the DNC. In exchange, her campaign would assume significant control over Committee strategy, finances, and personnel decisions.
She further says the Committee was essentially a clearinghouse for donations to the Clinton campaign during the 2016 general election — Politico reported in May 2016 that Clinton used state Democratic committees as a major fundraising vehicle, on the promise that her campaign would share these donations with state parties. The promised shares were seldom delivered by the campaign.
The extent of his involvement in preparing the JFRA is unclear, though as general counsel for the Clinton campaign it is possible his role was pivotal indeed. It is also unclear what role Elias had, if any, in agenda-setting at the DNC prior to Brazile's election as interim chair, though his firm biography indicates that he also represents the Committee.
Brazile's revelations also raise questions about the extent to which Clinton aides were involved in or aware of key details surrounding the compilation of the Steele dossier. Provided the former chairwoman's description of the JFRA is accurate, the DNC and Clinton's Brooklyn-based political operation were essentially symbiotic entities for most of the election.
One wonders, therefore, if sensational opposition research could be assembled and reviewed by one organization without the other's knowledge, given both the JFRA and the extensive services Elias provided to the DNC and the Clinton campaign.

The Marines Look To Elevate Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare
By Kimberly Underwood
In an era of complex geopolitics of peer and near-peer adversaries racing to advance electronic warfare (EW), the U.S. Marine Corps, like the other services, is centering on improving its signals intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic warfare operations. The service is examining its training and how it integrates the capabilities into its battalions.
The Marine Corps' efforts in so-called SIGINT and EW was the focus of this year's Signals Intelligence Day held on Capitol Hill and organized by the Association of Old Crows Advocacy's Signals Intelligence Industry Partnership.

The Secret Life of Metadata on the Battlefield
Data from mobile device signals such as GSM may be an untapped resource for signals intelligence on the battlefield. Although the payload of a communication system is encoded, information about the nature of the communication that is included in the GSM signal is not and should not be overlooked. This information, known as metadata, could prove to be an important tool for warfighters, experts say.
A Quest for Answers on Army Expeditionary Cyber Teams
For three years, the U.S. Army has been asking questions about how to converge cyberspace operations, electronic warfare and spectrum management capabilities at the corps level and below to deny, degrade, destroy and manipulate enemy capabilities.

Mugu, California (50 percent); Baltimore, Maryland (29 percent); Bethpage, New York (20 percent); and Rolling Meadows, Illinois (1 percent), and is expected to be completed in October 2023.
Speed of Cyber Is Not Always in Milliseconds
The U.S. Army's Cyber Blitz experimental exercise September 17-28 turned out to be an eye-opener for one maneuver officer regarding cyber's capabilities on the battlefield.
Military leaders often describe the "speed of cyber" as being measured in milliseconds or microseconds, which means the operations tempo in the cyber realm is incredibly high and decisions are made rapidly. But an offensive cyber campaign can sometimes take much longer than maneuver commanders might expect. In a teleconference with reporters to discuss Cyber Blitz results, Lt. Col. John Newman, USA, deputy commanding officer, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, reports that the experiment proved to be a revelation.
Enabling Spectrum-Based Operations in a Cyber World
By Dustan Hellwig
Work is needed to improve temporal, spectral and information understanding within the layers of the cyber domain to facilitate useful cyber-spectral and information maneuver. These advances could be incorporated into tactics, techniques and procedures as well as tactical and operational systems to enhance the overall military commanders' decision process to achieve information dominance.
Most of the tactical cyberspace domain is spectrum-dependent and administered solely at the physical layer. Currently, warfighters cannot comprehend, much less maneuver within, a space that is inaccessible to them because they are not in a dimensionality to understand it. They operate in a cyber-spectral flatland.
DCS Corp. Providing Electronic Warfare Advisory Support to the Air Force
DCS Corp., Alexandria, Virginia, has been awarded a $16,252,479 modification (P00045) to previously awarded FA2486-16-F-0032 for Technical and Management Advisory Services Electronic Warfare support.

At 6:01 a.m. EDT (10:01 UTC) March 14, 2021, the skies lit up from the light produced by the nine Merlin 1D engines at the base of Falcon 9 first stage booster core 1051 and its historic ninth flight to space earning it the title of most-flown Falcon 9 rocket booster to date. The satellites were deployed from the second stage just over an hour after liftoff.
The first stage landed successfully on the drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You," located downrange in the Atlantic Ocean. Once the core returns to Port Canaveral, SpaceX will begin the process of refurbishing the rocket and preparing it for a 10th flight, likely sometime later this year.
Overall, this was the 22nd Falcon 9 launch dedicated to sending SpaceX's massive Starlink constellation into space. The company expects to have about 12,000 satellites in low Earth orbit in its fully-operational state.

Starlink coverage is expected to continue to populate onto different platforms, as recently-indicated in a filing with the Federal Communications Commission, by deploying Starlink satellite broadband to moving vehicles.
Within the application the company details plans for "Earth Stations in Motion," ESIM, for aircraft, large vehicles such as trucks and recreational vehicles, as well as ships. SpaceX is requesting authorization from the FCC to operate these "Earth stations" throughout the United States and its territories, and international waters, as well as on both U.S. and non-U.S. aircraft operating in U.S. airspace.
"Granting this application would serve the public interest by authorizing a new class of ground-based components for SpaceX's satellite system that will expand the range of broadband capabilities available to moving vehicles throughout the United States and to moving vessels and aircraft worldwide," SpaceX told the FCC, as reported by Ars Technica.
According to SpaceX, "no longer are [internet] users willing to forego connectivity while on the move, whether driving a truck across the country, moving a freighter from Europe to a U.S. port, or while on a domestic or international flight."

The 43rd Mississippi Infantry of the Confederate States of America is the only regiment to have used a camel militarily east of the Mississippi. Referred to as the Camel Regiment, it was organized in 1862 and surrendered in 1865. Using a variety of resources, the author provides a roster of the regiment along with detailed information on the formation, battles, and controversies surrounding the men. From the acquisition of the African dromedary Old Douglas to carry baggage and musical instruments through his death at Vicksburg and the fate of his fellow soldiers, Bell provides an entertaining historical narrative of this little-known chapter in American history.
W. Scott Bell retired from the US Postal Service and has spent decades researching the history of the War Between the States. He is a life member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) and the Blue Bonnet Society of the SCV. The United Daughters of the Confederacy awarded him the Jefferson Davis Medal for his work presenting history in the classroom and his efforts to preserve Confederate monuments. His great-great-grandfather, Cpl. John K. Bell, was a member of the 43rd Mississippi Infantry.

Broadly, my research is focused on machine learning and data science applied to neuroscience and neuroengineering. More specifically, the main thrust of my research has been in using computational modelling in order to create new approaches to facilitating human-machine co-adaptation in neurofeedback and brain-computer interfacing. These new methods aim to enhance the ability of a human user to learn to effectively modulate their own brain activity by using statistical and machine learning models to algorithmically generate feedback while machine learning models simultaneously learn to interpret the user's changing brain activity.
I have also collaborated with other groups as a data scientist applying machine learning to genetic analysis.


We hear new stories daily about a malicious hacker compromising the sensitive data of corporations, governments and individuals. But that is only half of the story. The genesis of this talk was from the idea that even today, data is still not stored securely. Ethical Hacker conducted a research project in which he wanted to find out if he could gain access to sensitive data. The catch? He would not hack any systems, all data must be collected legally. From buying devices on Facebook and bidding for Hard Drives on eBay, to monitoring public photo sharing sites; Dave will discuss the methods to retrieve the information. Dave will show his findings, some of which is very surprising.

Kagan Questions US Solicitor's Absence in Labor Case
Justice Elena Kagan questioned the absence of the U.S. solicitor general "in a case in which one would expect the government to be here." The Labor Department is revisiting the rule at issue in the case.
Marcia Coyle
During U.S. Supreme Court arguments Wednesday over a federal issue important to the auto industry, Justice Elena Kagan questioned the absence of the U.S. solicitor general "in a case in which one would expect the government to be here." Kagan wanted to know what's up at the U.S. Labor Department.
The answer is that the Labor Department is reconsidering a 2011 Obama administration rule that said service advisers at car dealerships are not exempt from overtime pay under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. In a Jan. 5 bulletin, Wage and Hour Acting Administrator Bryan Jarrett said the department would not enforce that rule until the Supreme Court resolves the issue.

Are microglia good or bad?
How can microglia kill neurons?
Van Damme, P. (2016, June 30). Neuroinflammation in ALS: cause or consequence? [Video file]. In The Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection, Henry Stewart Talks. Retrieved April 19, 2019, from https://hstalks.com/bs/3306/.
Hello. I am Philip Van Damme from the University of Leuven Belgium. It is my pleasure to contribute to this lecture series about ALS, and I will talk about the role of neuroinflammation in ALS. The title of my talk is, "NeuroInflammation in ALS, Cause or Consequence?"
The signs and symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS are caused by the degeneration of upper motor neurons in the motor cortex and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord. This degeneration of motor neurons is the hallmark of ALS, but it can manifest itself in various ways. ALS is a heterogeneous disorder with striking variability in clinical presentation, in the genetic causes, and in the underlying disease proteins. Already at the clinical level, ALS can come in different flavors. The side of onset is mostly focal width onset in limb muscles or bulbar muscles. The age at onset has a wide range, from around 18 years of age to over 85 years. The rate of disease progression can be fast or slow. And the extent of upper versus lower motor neuron involvement, and the extent of frontal temporal involvement varies from patient to patient. Also, the genetic causes that can be identified in about 10% of patients range from missense mutations in superoxide dismutase one, or SOD1, tar DNA-binding protein for T3, or TARDBP, and fused in sarcoma, or FUS. To repeat expansions of a G-4, C-2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the chromozome 9 open reading frame 72, or C9orf72 gene. The underlying disease protein is mostly TDP-43, but can also be FUS, SOD1, or dipeptide repeats in the different genetic subtypes of ALS.

Removing Trees on Buffalo Bayou Because It's Cheap and Easy
A Stormwater Project with Little Benefit and A Lot of Uncounted Cost
A large number of trees will be cleared in one of the city's last remaining public forests on Buffalo Bayou because it's the "easiest and cheapest" stormwater project to do, city and county flood control officials explain.
The trees are being removed to dig out shallow basins on the bank of upper Buffalo Bayou in Terry Hershey Park in west Houston, a rolling wooded area with paths used by hikers and bikers and wildlife. When the bayou overflows, the basins are meant to hold briefly a modest amount of water which then continues flowing downstream.
But the calculation of "cheapest and easiest" does not include future repair and maintenance costs where now there are none. A similar project on the once-forested opposite bank has required many millions of dollars in taxpayer funds for maintenance and repeat repairs to the bank in the decades since trees were cut.
Nor does this calculation include the additional flow into the bayou from the loss of trees and vegetation, which significantly slow and absorb rainfall and runoff. A study by the University of Arkansas reports that removing forest can increase runoff into streams by as much as four or five times. (p. 3)
It does not consider the financial value that the forest provides by cleansing the water and the air for free. Studies have shown that riparian vegetation is cheaper and more effective at cleansing our polluted water than even sewage treatment plants. A study of Houston's urban forest by the US Department of Agriculture found that even including invasive trees, our modest tree cover captures carbon and other pollutants from the air worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Also not included: the value of the mental and physical health benefit that trees provide to Houstonians, who suffer from a deficit of nature, many of whom were traumatized by the flooding from Harvey. Since ancient times wise people have known that the experience of even a small piece of nature has health benefits. (See also here.)

Nature is the Best Engineer
Making room for the bayou to overflow is a good thing, as is a focus on detention or "slowing the flow." Cutting down trees and removing vegetation next to the bayou is not.
"Engineers have a hard time understanding," says Bob Freitag, director of the Institute for Hazards Mitigation Planning and Research at the University of Washington and co-author of Floodplain Management, A New Approach for a New Era. "Trees aren't in their model.
"We want trees," says Freitag. "Trees do a lot of good things."
There is a new field of engineering that understands and imitates the process of nature, melding engineering and biology and valuing ecosystem services, points out Freitag. "But those who do it are few and far between. It's a pretty new field."
No Reduction in Flooding
The planned detention basins next to the bayou channel do not even reduce flooding, despite a popular belief that they will. Officials confirm that the small basins will do nothing to reduce flooding downstream. "No, they're not going to save people from flooding downstream," said Matt Lopez, the Harris County Flood Control District's Precinct 3 coordinator. "They're not going to save folks from Harvey or any other storm."
The purpose of destroying forest to dig out detention basins next to Buffalo Bayou in west Houston is to allow the City of Houston to drain more water from city streets into the bayou sometime in the future. This is the so-called "no-rise" requirement enforced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). To protect us from increased flood risk, FEMA requires that the City and everyone else prove that development within designated floodplains does not add to the flow in the bayou.
"We think there are advantages for the future when comes to drainage," said Lopez.
Currently the City has no plans to drain more stormwater into the bayou, said Tommy Artz of the City of Houston Public Works Department's Interagency Coordination Section. But the City has already paid $1 million to Flood Control to purchase some 30 acre-feet of the planned stormwater detention for future projects, said Artz
Some residents in neighborhoods near large commercial districts and Interstate 10 on the north side of the bayou are pushing for more drainage into the bayou. A representative of their neighborhood coalition declined to comment.
Artz explained that it was cheaper to purchase the detention from Flood Control than to buy land to build and maintain detention basins or install large underground culverts for temporarily holding stormwater. He described the purchase as a "bargain."
Lopez explained that the flood control district already owns the land next to the bayou in Terry Hershey Park and has always planned to use it for flood management projects.
He said he believed that the agency planned to try to leave trees on the banks. "Trees help us prevent erosion," he said.
Flood Control is planning three initial basins on the south bank of the bayou between North Eldridge Parkway and Dairy Ashford Road. Construction is to begin within weeks. The basins will briefly hold about 90 acre-feet of overflow from the bayou when it floods before allowing it to drain back into the bayou.
The district has already spent millions on the south bank linear detention basin project in the past decade, including paying various engineering firms for vegetation surveys and design. Lecon, Inc. has the $1.8 million contract to construct the initial three basins.

Decimation of Our Urban Forests
The tree removal project comes at a time when Houston's remaining urban forests are being decimated. Hundreds of trees have already been felled in Memorial Park, our once-great public forest in the middle of the city, as part of a $200-300 million landscape plan for the park. Hundreds more, including towering pines, are already tagged for removal to make way for an artificial land bridge over Memorial Drive. More trees are being felled for the $13.5 million remake of the park's popular public golf course into a professional tournament course, the plans for which city officials refuse to reveal. And then there are the numerous big trees that will be cleared in order to plant a monoculture of young pines in rigid rows on the west side of the park – a planned memorial to those who died in World War I. Planting a single species of trees in regimented rows, however, is a prime example of the wrong thing to do in the midst of an alarming loss of the biodiversity that supports life. Also it's ugly and unnatural.

Years ago the Harris County Flood Control District, in collaboration with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership, stripped trees and scraped vegetation from the banks of Buffalo Bayou in Buffalo Bayou Park downstream from the Shepherd Bridge. The result has been a disaster, with continuous costly repairs to collapsing banks and sidewalks.
The flood control district continues its decades-long practice of cutting and bulldozing trees on streams, oftentimes merely to provide access for bulldozers and other heavy equipment to the bank. Most recently, for example, Save Buffalo Bayou documented piles of large trees felled by the district's contractor along Langham Creek in Addicks Reservoir. (See photo below.)
The district is legally responsible for the "conservation of forests" according to its 1937 founding charter. (P. 1)

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, the Harris County Flood Control District revived a controversial plan to capture flow out of the bayou with a series of shallow basins on the forested south bank of the stream in Terry Hershey Park. Residents, conservationists, and others, banding together as Save Our Forest, have been fighting to preserve the trees on the south bank since at least 2010. However, many of those forest activists were among the thousands who flooded on upper Buffalo Bayou during Harvey. With homes destroyed and health damaged, their ability to oppose the project has been weakened.
"I feel like they are pushing this thing now when they know people are too distracted to resist them," said one distraught resident.
Terry Hershey Park, run by Harris County Precinct 3, occupies about 500 acres of land along some six miles of bayou that the district purchased from the federal government in the Sixties. The federal government had stripped, straightened, and shortened the bayou there below the two federal flood control dams, Addicks and Barker, during the late Forties. Straightening—channelizing—the bayou essentially reduced its capacity, rendering future residents more vulnerable to flooding, besides damaging its essential functions. Channelizing streams for reducing flood risk has been largely abandoned by the federal government and agencies elsewhere because it actually increases flooding, among other problems.
Modern stormwater management emphasizes stopping, slowing, and absorbing stormwater before it floods a stream, not after. (See Freitag, et al.)
Allow Bayou to Increase Capacity Naturally and For Free
The straightened bayou in Terry Hershey Park, like all rivers and streams, continues to try to restore its natural bends or meanders and recover its former length and capacity. Allowing it to do so would in fact probably be the easiest and cheapest stormwater management project. Restoring meanders to channelized streams is modern practice. "Restoring meanders to rivers that have been straightened … increases the in-stream storage capacity and slows the downstream propagation of the flood peak, thereby decreasing downstream flood risk …," reports the nonprofit International Rivers. (p. 11)
The park is named for legendary environmentalist Terry Hershey, who in the Sixties and Seventies organized landowners, conservationists, garden club members, and influential politicians, among many others, to protect Buffalo Bayou from being stripped, straightened, and covered in concrete.

You've heard of the NTF 'Summer Stunners' but now it's time for the NTF 'Winter Warmers'! Not quite as in-depth as the summer version (which returned +£56.67 BFLSP this summer, it really is a guide you don't want to be missing!) but as I was continuing my deep plunge into my own private notes I did come across a handful of noted horses that looked cosy winter companions to their summer loving counterparts.
Like the summer version (June – September specialists) the winter alternative concentrates on monthly patterns and focuses on those horses that excel in the November to January period, a slightly shorter period than their summer counterparts but it's the period I personally see as the deep-mid-winter months.
Not all horses function at their optimum in the cold, wet, dark months of winter, I know my own body is more reluctant to function as normal in the misery of a British winter (my mind is OK, it's got the jumps game to keep it buzzing, my body, however, well it has other ideas!) but on the flip side there are a vast number of runners who like nothing better than splashing through the cold underfoot mud and feeling the sharp sting of the cold air in their nostrils, and those are the types I'm concentrating on here.
Not the obvious ones, of course, you don't need me telling you that the Un De Sceaux's, Bristol De Mai's, Buveur D'Air's, etc… can perform in the winter months. No, as always I've tried to just dip under the obvious lot and looked for some less obvious types for us to keep on the radar.
Given that this one loves testing ground it is of no surprise that he makes this Winter Warmers list.
He's on a career high mark at present (OR 132) but he was going well on his final start last term before unseating 4 out and he could yet be up to defying that mark.
It's not as if the mare doesn't run well in other months but a 6 from 6 unbeaten record in the winter months tells us she REALLY loves the depth of winter!
Connections could well go chasing with her this season, she's always had the frame of a chaser from an early age, although there's plenty of money to scoof up in those mare's hurdles and she is adaptable with regards to trip.
Very much a horse that splits opinion this boy but regardless of your stance on him, he can do the job in the winter months.
At the end of the day he's probably just not a full on G1 animal (he could take a weak one…probably…) but there are races for him, most likely during the deep-mid-winter.
Started his chase career in solid enough fashion last season with a form line of 1-2-1 but it then fell apart in the Feb-Apr period with a form line of F-F-P. He starts this season on OR 141 and that could well be an exploitable mark in the early part of the season.
Not seen since pulling-up in the Welsh National in January (did finish lame) so hopefully all is OK with the gelding and we'll see him back on the track this season.
The winter months suit him well and he was lining up in the Welsh National off the back of two hurdle victories so hopefully he can resume his career somewhere close to that level of form.
The 7yo started his chasing career last season with three commanding all the way victories, before finding the rise in class at Cheltenham (11th of 19) & Aintree (PU) beyond him.
He's better than those last two efforts though and he should have more to give over fences this season, especially when there's cut under-foot and a small field that he can boss from the front.
As always there are no guarantees in horse racing but based on previous form it would be disappointing should this batch of horses not again prove ready to fire in the winter months.
p.s. If you missed my 'Alternative 20 to follow' list for the season then make sure you get your name on the FREE NTF service, where the link to the 'to follow' guide will be instantly sent to your in-box.
Remember this is the 'to follow' list that BANS any Mullins, Nicholls, Henderson or Elliott horses from making an appearance, preferring to stay more under-the-radar than the obvious bunch of horses that are banded about by most at this time of the year.
If you are not currently a free NTF member then join HERE and grab an array of FREE stuff for your punting pleasure. My 'Profiting From The Front 2018/19' guide will also be released to the free list this week.
Hi Ben, In Jumping Prospects Warren Greatrex says they discovered Keeper Hill had a kissing spine operated on. That surgery has proved successful and they plan to run him back over hurdles.
Interesting if going back hurdling as he looks well treated there as well (lower mark than chase mark).
Would like to see him stay chasing myself as reckon he still has more to offer in that sphere but regardless of which route is taken he does look on an exploitable mark.
Cracking run from the mare Kevin, took to the fences brilliantly.
Backed Buckhorn Timothy yesterday and was well rewarded by him winning at 16/1, has paid for my membership.
I have put these horses into my free Time form tracker.
A lovely price drift and great to hear a muddy Sunday at Ffos Las paid for your membership in one fell swoop! Superb.

Sans Digital CR2T RAID CF Enclosure
By jdurham on June 26, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Sometimes an idea comes along that gets tech analysts all excited. We, of course, must maintain our objectivity, especially in case that idea results in a subpar product. The Sans Digital CR2T is an example of the phenomenon of a terrific concept marred into near uselessness by poor performance.
Essentially a build-your-own solid-state drive enclosure, the CR2T has mounts within its slender body for a pair of Compact Flash cards. Externally, it looks and behaves like a 2.5-inch SATA drive, with connectors for both data and power SATA cables.
A single micro switch lets you set the device for RAID 1 (mirroring) or RAID 0 (spanning). Theoretically, the latter should offer slightly better performance, but in reality the device doesn't measure up to a standard, internal hard drive no matter which mode it's in.
We tested our CR2T with extremely speedy, 4GB, 266X CF cards from Kingston. Based on the results, we shudder to think how the tests would have gone with slower CF cards, because even with this speedy flash memory the CR2T was anything but a performer. Continued…

Serie A invites controversy over new anti-racism campaign
Serie A has invited further controversy by using three paintings of monkeys to illustrate a campaign to stamp out racism.
The paintings are intended to "spread the values of integration, multiculturalism and brotherhood" and will be on permanent display at the entrance to the Serie A headquarters in Milan, the league said in a statement.
They were painted by artist Simone Fugazzotto, who is known for producing challenging work focused almost entirely on apes.
Romelu Lukaku has been targeted by racist abuse (Antonio Calanni/AP)
Italian football has been blighted by monkey chants and other incidents of racist abuse this season.
The league announced the project on Monday, although it was originally commissioned for the Coppa Italia between Lazio and Atalanta in May.
"Sport, first and foremost football, is an extraordinary tool for conveying positive messages, fair play and tolerance," Serie A chief executive Luigi De Siervo said.
"Simone's paintings fully reflect these values and will remain on show in our headquarters.
"We know that racism is an endemic and very complex problem, which we will tackle on three different levels – the cultural one, through works like that of Simone, the sporting one, with a series of initiatives together with clubs and players, and the repressive one, thanks to the collaboration with the police.
"By acting simultaneously on these three different levels we are sure that we will be able to win the most important game against the evil that ruins the most beautiful sport in the world."
Fugazzotto said the work was intended to show that "we are complex and fascinating creatures, that we can be sad or happy, Catholics, Muslims or Buddhists, but that, after all, what determines who we are are our actions, not the colour of the skin".
Two weeks ago Italian paper Corrierre dello Sport was criticised for using the headline 'Black Friday' on its front page alongside images of Lukaku and Roma's Chris Smalling.

The former Manchester United team-mates were due to go up against each other for their new clubs the following day.
The article attempted to highlight the league's racism problem, but the newspaper was accused for fuelling racism by anti-discrimination campaigners.
Lukaku himself and Brescia forward Mario Balotelli are among those to make allegations of being racially abused by supporters during games this season.
Last month all 20 clubs in Italy's top tier signed an open letter which called on "all those who love Italian football" to unite to try to eradicate the "serious problem".
The PA news agency has contacted Serie A for comment.

Pregnant Woman Killed in Drive-by Shooting Was Going to a Party With Her Father | "She Was So Happy"
The Californian woman was headed to a birthday party with her dad when she was shot.
Cover Image Source: GoFundMe
A pregnant California woman was shot and killed just a few days before New Year's as she was heading out to a birthday party with her father. The 25-year-old was shot to death in Artesia as she was seated beside her father who was in the driving seat. Marissa Perez was in the front passenger seat when a car at the intersection of Pioneer and Artesia boulevard pulled up around their car and shot the would-be mother several times before fleeing the scene. According to ABC7, the father was driving to pick up a cake for the birthday party.
The family of the young woman who was due to give birth to her child in the month of June is distraught and believes this was not a random act. The shooting happened at around 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 29, which was just a few days before the New Year.
Speaking to reporters, Marissa's mother, Sandra Tolentino, shared that her beloved daughter was shot several times, including once in the head. "She was 25. She was about to be a mother in five more months. She was so happy," said the grieving mother who never imagined her daughter would depart from her so soon.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told ABC7 that investigators do not believe this was a random act and they are investigating the case for more clues. As the search for the anonymous shooter continues, people came out to mourn for the young, jolly woman at the intersection where she took her last breath. "She always cared for so many people. Her heart was literally on her sleeve every day," Tolentino added, as she misses her young deceased daughter.
"She should have never been taken from us that way. She still had such a life ahead of her and it kills me that we won't be able to have that next chapter," the grief-stricken mom said, expressing her agony over her daughter's untimely death. "Don't hold grudges and just love, love so hard because you just never know when will be the last time to say goodbye," she said in her concluding statement about the void loved ones leave when they depart without saying goodbyes.

The GoFundMe link for Marissa's funeral reads: "Marissa was the most loving daughter, sister, cousin, and friend. Marissa was expecting the biggest blessing, a baby in June. Anyone who knew Marissa knew she was the most loyal, loving, outgoing, and strongest person." The sheriff's department has not released a description of the suspect or suspects.

A non-profit organization dedicated to live jazz performance and educational programs in the Pacific Northwest will expand to Tacoma this year.
JazzClubsNW officials announced this week the organization plans to launch the Tacoma Jazz Association under the leadership of local saxophonist and music educator Kareem Kandi.
In addition to live performances hosted by B Sharp Coffee House, Ted Brown Music, and other local venues, the Tacoma Jazz Association will offer jazz instruction through 12-week workshops led by Kandi and other area professionals. Student groups will be formed in September and their 12-week workshops will begin in October. The educational program is available to all high-school students in the Tacoma area. Interested students can apply online at tacomajazzassociation.org. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify.
JazzClubsNW began in North Bend as Boxley Music Fund in 2010 before expanding to other communities in western Washington, according to organizers. Last year, JazzClubsNW launched the Whatcom Jazz Music Arts Center in Bellingham.
An event to launch the Tacoma Jazz Association will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Mon., Aug. 24, at B Sharp Coffee House, located at 706 Opera Alley, in downtown Tacoma. The event is free, open to the public, and will feature live performances by saxophonist Kandi, drummer MacDonough, pianist Danny Kolke, trumpeter Thomas Marriott, and bassist Michael Glynn, as well as student performers from North Bend and Bellingham.

Marijuana strain for Depression , Best strains for Anxiety, Order grade Strains now.
Marijuana strain for Depression Buy Pineapple Express weed strain online. order pineapple express online, cannabis dispensary near me.
Pineapple Express is a Sativa dominant strain with a 60:40 sativa/indica ratio.
The strain is quite popular and has achieved recognition thanks to the stoner film of the same name.
The strain is offered in the form of well-weighed nuggets that look like Styrofoam popcorn. It does not taste sweet, but it does smell funky with its citrus overtones.
The taste is quite extraordinary with a hint of pineapple while you inhale. Pineapple Express is chosen to treat a lot of medical problems including anxiety and stress.
However, it is even more effective at curing the symptoms of chronic depression at the same time. If you are suffering from mild pains and aches, you should look no further.
After a smoke, you will realize Pineapple Express is calming and stimulating at the same time.
"Great flavor, the high rushes on like a calm wave break through your body. The high is amazing and lasts quoet some time. Beautiful bud as well, Very comferting and re assuring high also.
"Smoked a bowl this morning to wake up. The smell is a little unfamiliar at first because there's a lot going on. I could detected a fruity aroma, picked up on the highlighted apple-mango hints a bit, also thought it smelled a little like butterscotch and slightly spicy. Thought that the first couple hits were quite nice.
Had a blast with this strain. Euphoric and clear headed and fun. Highly recommend.
I had never smoked any Pineapple Express, but had wanted to try it due to the notoriety. If you want an energizing, head-rush, cranial, mind-blowing high… which does not tire or fatigue the body… this strain is definitely for you. Good pain relief too. Five stars if that's your goal. Whoever stabilized this hybrid did a fantastic job! Personally, at my age, I tend to prefer the more muscle relaxing body high of an indica. This sativa-dominant hybrid makes me race too quickly for real comfort, a little anxious, some teeth-clenching and jaw tension after a healthy dose.
Forget the movie, this strain deserves much more. By far my favorite strain I've ever smoked, the bud I got from DANK was incredible. Beautiful clusters of flowery buds pretty light compared to other strains. I used a pipe and ripped off about 3 bowls. Totally took away any pain or my PTSD symptoms, i was surprised that a hybrid worked with PTSD, I usually only have luck with indicas.
Pineapple Express is by far one of my favorite strains!! It just works for me… giving me the sativa energy with a super dose of euphoria. My body chemistry loves the 60/40 ratio of S/I….and I've never even seen the damn movie!!! This was composed by an old hippie stoner!
"Just picked up a 1/2 pound of this stuff from you couple days ago. I was smoking a joint of it while writing the review so it should be pretty spot on haha. The buds are sticky/resiney, dense and pretty large. Big fat chunky thangs. The high is great I am really impressed with the quality.
This one creeps up on you, you don't really feel it until a few minutes later on in the smoke. Great smell, smoked up my car and left it smelling a surprisingly good sweet and berry smell.

Elon Musk Calls Jeff Bezos 'Copycat' on Twitter
Tesla Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Elon Musk took to Twitter to call Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos a "copycat" after Bezos announced plans to launch a new satellite-based broadband service.
"In response to an article from the MIT Technology Review that announced Amazon's plans to launch more than 3,000 Internet-providing satellites, Musk called Bezos a 'copycat', with the 'cat' portion of the word replaced with a cat emoji," the CNBC reported late on Wednesday.
The Amazon CEO has also hired a SpaceX executive, Rajeev Badyal, to run the Amazon's satellite project after he was fired by Musk.Bezos wants to launch over 3,200 satellites into space in order to provide high-speed Internet service to underserved communities.
'Project Kuiper' will consist of 784 satellites at an altitude of 367 miles from the earth, 1,296 satellites at 379 miles and 1,156 satellites at 391 miles - facilitating Internet availability to over 95 percent of the earth's total population.Moving forward with the initiative, the project has already been filed with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) - the international organisation in charge of coordinating satellite orbits.

Gregory Dana Ullman (born December 22, 1951) is an American author, publisher, journalist, and proponent in the field of homeopathy.
Ullman received his Master of Public Health (MPH) from the University of California at Berkeley, and has since taught homeopathy and integrative health care.[1] Ullman served as an instructor in homeopathy at the University of California at San Francisco, and as member of the Advisory Council of the Alternative Medicine Center at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons.[2] From 1986 to 2000, he served as the chairperson for the National Center for Homeopathy's Annual Conference. He has been consulted by Harvard Medical School's Center to Assess Alternative Therapy for Chronic Illness.[3] He is also a regular speaker at universities, medical schools, pharmacy schools, and hospitals.
He was a regular contributor to The Huffington Post until 2017 when this website stopped accepting blogs written by non-staff members.[4]
Journalist John Stossel of ABC News described Ullman as "homeopathy's foremost spokesman."[5]

Could Yoga Pants Be the Source of Ocean Pollution?

There's no denying that athleisure staples, like yoga pants, continue to dominate the apparel market. However, everyone's yoga pants obsession might come with a major drawback, according to U.S. News & World Report.
Gulf Coast researchers are launching a two-year study into the microscopic plastics that make their way into the ocean. Research has shown that athletic apparel could be the latest source of ocean pollution, because they shed plastic fibers, commonly known as "microfibers."
When the researchers began this study, they expected to find that microbeads were the main offenders, in terms of ocean pollution. Instead, microfibers made up the bulk of the uncovered materials.
As of now, there is little research into the affect of microfibers on the ocean food chain. But the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium hopes to get to the bottom of it.
In the meantime, Patagonia pledged its support for research surrounding microfiber pollution, and the company will promote information to consumers about ways to minimize microfiber shedding.
