If you are a college student like me, waiting for the bus is very common occurrence. And more often than not, the bus is either late or too early, but never ontime. You are left to stand there in cold while your bus is off somewhere else. Well a brilliant UW student has a solution. OneBusAway requires a cell phone and the bus stop number (which is conveniently posted on the actual stop schedule or roof of the bay). Dial 206-456-0609. A voice asks "Where's your bus? Let's found out." You give your bus number and stop number and voila, it tells you schedule in real time. It's like a bus schedule that works! And makes my life so much easier.

St Paul's Cathedral Before Wren

St Paul's Cathedral is the City of London's most important monument and historic building. But Wren's great work is only the most recent of a succession of Anglo-Saxon and medieval cathedrals on the site, where Christianity was first established in AD 604.
This report is the first ever comprehensive account of the archaeology and history of the cathedral and its churchyard from Roman times up to the construction of the Wren building which began in 1675. Archaeological excavations and observations go back to the time of Wren. The Anglo-Saxon cathedral is an enigma, and even its precise site somewhere in the churchyard is not known for certain. The medieval cathedral was probably the largest building in medieval Britain and one of the largest in Europe, with its 400ft-spire and a rose window to rival those we now see at Notre Dame in Paris. Recent excavations in and around the Wren building are described, and some of the many architectural fragments of the medieval cathedral, dug up over the last 150 years, are studied. Documents, surveys and early maps show the development of the religious complex and illuminate the lives of its occupants. In the 1630s a classical portico was added to the west end by Inigo Jones, Britain's first truly Renaissance architect. Fragments of the portico, still covered with the soot of the Great Fire of 1666 which destroyed the cathedral, were found in 1996 when a tunnel was dug through one of the crypt walls of the present building.
From these varied sources, the cathedrals which preceded that of Wren come to the surface again, and we can appreciate the cultural and religious importance of St Paul's within the City of London, over a period of more than 1000 years.

The Scene
Wild Man Bereman | Behind The Scenes At X Games
Competing in X Games is a dream for most motocross riders, but riding dirt bikes on one of the biggest stages for action sports is something that not many riders get to do. For Tyler Bereman, his trip to X Games this year was a solid team effort. From everyone at Fasthouse designing TB's custom jersey, helmet, and overall look for the event to Airtrix bringing the helmet design to life and Robbie Brown building the baddest bike in the pits, TB had a tight knit team of people in his corner, and it showed. After earning a bronze in Best Whip, Bereman went into Big Air Quarter Pipe looking for gold. Following a huge air, TB was sitting pretty in the top spot until Colby Raha uncorked one of the highest airs out of the quarter pipe to date, bumping Tyler down to silver. For all involved, X Games was a resounding success—TB came home with some hardware, the Fasthouse gear looked the coolest, and most of all, the boys had a good time. Fasthouse tagged along with TB for the entire event, after parties, and good times. Check it out.

Infamous for his pedigree of madness and murder, the reclusive Duke of Ashbey believes he cannot feel until a mysterious woman unlocks a world of sensation in a single, shattering moment of connection. Ash casts a desperate bid for more.
Recent widow Alicia Stone has long been reviled as the chief impediment to a love affair that captured the nation's imagination. Publicly, she settled for respectability's cold comfort, but, secretly, she longs to experience what she never found with her famous husband—uninhibited passion.
When Ashbey proposes a discreet three-night assignation, Alicia shocks herself by accepting. But will their explosive union cost them both far more than they bargained?
Lady Stone stirred, releasing him from his thoughts. He planted a kiss on her shoulder. Even her skin was sweet.
"Mmmm," she responded.
Carefully, he brushed the hair from her face. "Good morning, Lady Stone."
Dream's mist cleared from her eyes. "Alicia," she whispered. And then, she smiled.
An unfamiliar feeling entered his heart—light and heady, as if he were galloping free.
"Alicia." He tested the name. The consonants spilled over tongue like water. Alicia.
Now he understood why she had, at first, refused to call him Ash. The gift of her name was more intimate a gesture than anything they'd yet shared.
Too intimate.
He'd pleasured Lady Stone. He could remain thankful, even devoted to Lady Stone from afar. But Alicia? Alicia was someone he must gather up close and protect.
A discordant note clanged in his soul.
The best way he could protect Alicia was to let her go.
"Good morning, Ash."
He gathered her into his arms and held tight.
"Ah, Ash," she sighed.
How could a single sigh transport him from despair to—what was that word? Was there a word for feeling all would be right with the world?
She pulled away. Her lids swept down as her cheeks pinked. "I require a bit of privacy."
"Of course."
He set her free. Reluctantly.
She glanced back half way across the room, her shy, sweet smile more dangerous than a primed pistol. Then, she disappeared into the adjoining chamber, but not before nervously adjusting her shift.
Why was she nervous? She was utterly perfect. She'd always be utterly perfect. At least, to him. He settled back into the pillows, propping his head on his arm.
The child of a madman, even a madman with a ducal title, was bound to be lonely. His father had never harmed him, but he thought it wise to act as everyone else in the household and keep out of his father's way.
Alone in his chambers, he'd taken comfort in sounds of human activity—cleaning, brushing, polishing…the clank of dishes, the swish of a gardener's scythe. But this was the sound he had longed for—the sound of someone for whom he cared, going about a trivial occupation. Life, shared.
His chest pierced—the price he'd have to pay for the return of his feeling. But his three stolen days were not over.
She emerged with another, private smile.
Not in the least.

Studying abroad is a great way to gain new perspectives, make new friends, learn more about your field and discover new cultures. Here at Westminster there are many ways in which our students can enjoy the study abroad experience including those organised by the Outward Mobility Team. To help you learn more about the team's exchange programmes, we've asked our returning students to answer a few questions about their time away. Many thanks to Marketing Communications BA student Sarah Peck for sharing her stories of her time at Ryerson University, Toronto.
Why did you decide to study abroad?
I chose to take part in this exchange due to the many marketing opportunities abroad. I had also previously never visited Canada and so was interested in experiencing a new way of learning and studying in a country that I had never been to before. As I had lived at home during university in London, I also wanted to gain the full university experience of living alone with friends whilst studying. The semester abroad program particularly stood out to me due to it's shorter duration, as well as still contributing to my final grade at university.
Can you tell us something about your location/university choice?
I chose Ryerson University as it was clearly a popular choice for students in Toronto as well as in Canada in general. The university also had many positive reviews from students in relation to their marketing degrees and so I was aware that by studying in Ryerson, I would be gaining a very useful insight into marketing in Canada as well as being able to be taught by well-respected professors. I chose this location as Toronto particularly appealed to me due to being a big city with a lot to offer. There was always a lot happening in Downtown Toronto making it impossible to ever have a day with nothing to do when not studying. There were also many great facilities at the university itself such as the student learning centre, the library, as well as three gyms for students on campus.
Being a student in Toronto can in some aspects be similar to being a student in London. For example, being in a big city means there is always something happening and places to visit at cheap rates or even for free! For those attractions that are further out such as Niagara falls, there are many cheap buses/coaches that leave from the main terminal in Downtown Toronto making this easily accessible from the university.
For myself choosing Canada, I wanted to study in a place that I may not have necessarily chosen as a place to visit in the future. For me this was somewhere that I never imagined myself visiting and so took the best opportunity that I had. Toronto and Canada in general has so many areas that I wanted to visit such as the CN Tower as well as taking a trip to Montreal and so knew this would be my chance to do so around my studies. Canada has a lot to offer for students both during as well as after university and so also became a place of high interest to me for potentially going back to once I have completed my degree in London.
How would you describe your overall study abroad experience?
My overall exchange experience was incredible and something that I will never forget. I learnt a lot about both myself as well as about my degree program that I believe will strengthen my final year in London. One of the greatest parts of exchange is being able to meet people from all over the world with many interesting stories such as the Canadian students who are able to show you the parts of Toronto that may be less known by tourists and more by Canadians who have grown up in Toronto themselves. There were very few challenging parts of this exchange – apart from the studying and exams – with settling in to the university being easier than I imagined it to be.
Classes were more challenging to become used to, for example understanding the way in which their three-hour lectures were structured as well as the way that work was to be written or how the work is assessed. However whenever I was unsure, all professors were there to explain and guide me through the process.
Because I lived in the residence I did, I was able to meet other exchange students and make friends for life from all over the world. I have learned to be able to live on my own as well as even learning a little of other languages through living with other students from Europe. This wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for this exchange program.
Do you feel like you have developed many marketable skills through studying abroad?
Through this exchange program, I have been able to develop and enhance many skills. For instance, living and learning with people from a range of different cultures has made me more aware of how differently everyone works and how best to bring all ideas together. I have also gained more professional communication skills through interaction with new professors whilst studying, enabling me to gain the best from my classes as well as creating good friendships with these teachers, making my classes more fun and enjoyable. I have also been lucky to gain a greater insight into how marketing varies country-to-country and how best to adapt to this. These are all qualities that I am certain will benefit me in a career upon my graduation from Westminster.
What would be your top tip for students starting their study abroad experience at Ryerson?
For any student considering this exchange, you should most definitely do it. My advice to students taking part would be to always make sure you make the most of time. From day one, go out with other students and explore the city to gain some understanding of your surroundings and take part in all the things you can as the exchange will go by quicker than you can imagine. As a student at Ryserson, you are lucky to be able to watch all university basketball, ice hockey, and many other sporting games for free. Every match has an incredible atmosphere and is a great place to again meet more students. Ryerson university has great ways of involving their students and by doing so you will make so many more friends for life and have a great overall experience at Ryerson. Don't be afraid to just jump in and enjoy it!
What would you say to someone thinking of studying abroad?
I would recommend studying abroad for both the academic as well as social experience you will have. You will learn a lot not just about your degree but also about yourself that will benefit you so much back home for your final year. Through this experience I have gained a wider knowledge of marketing due to the different subjects they teach out in Canada. If you're worried at all about the exchange, make sure to research into the university and all the possibilities the university has for you as a student and don't forget you will have many great teachers both here and in Canada to talk to about any worries at all. So if you're considering the exchange then I cannot stress enough how much you should do it. You will never regret it.
Thank you again to Sarah Peck for this interview. If you would like to find out more about the Study Abroad experience, why not visit our website or read the other blogs in this series?

Ethical eating
We believe that businesses must lead by their values, not just for profit. And thanks to our long-term commitment to sourcing local, seasonal and high welfare produce we are one of the only Indian restaurants in the UK to be awarded a three star sustainability champion rating by the Sustainable Restaurant Association (their highest award) in 2017. Thali has also made the shortlist for the SRA's Reduce, Reuse, Recycle award. Thali is one of three restaurants vying for the award, the winner will be announced on 05 October.
In rural India, where the Thali meal originates, people use seasonal, local, organic food out of necessity and recycle as much as they can because they can't afford to waste it. Thali adopted the Indian mantra of 'jugaad' (do more with less) and became the first Indian restaurant group to be awarded a Three Star Sustainability Champion Rating by the Sustainable Restaurant Association in 2013.
The SRA's assessors were impressed with our long-term commitment to sourcing local, seasonal and high welfare produce. Mark Linehan, managing director of the SRA, said: "Thali is joining a growing group of Bristol restaurants that understand consumers' desire to know where their food comes from and how the business is run and it has proved that it is among the most sustainable in the UK."
Some of our sustainability principles
- Meat: our meat is locally sourced and free range.
- Fish: our fish is MSC certified "Fish to Eat".
- Dairy: our milk and cream is organic and locally sourced. Our eggs are free-range and locally sourced.
- Veg: We use seasonal, locally sourced fruit and veg as much as possible.
- Waste: We've saved tonnes of unnecessary landfill with our waste free take-away Tiffin scheme. which has been shortlisted for the SRA's Reduce, Reuse, Recycle award this year! The vast majority of our waste is recycled including cardboard, plastics, tins and as much food waste as possible.
- No palm oil
Despite being one of the only ethical Indian restaurants in the UK, there is so much more to do to feed Britain sustainably. If you'd like to know more about our dreams for a better world, we'd love to talk to you. Just email us and we'll be in touch.

It's funny how supposedly mature college students can be super serious (and grade conscious) one minute and then turn around and be the most silly people out of sheer boredom.
Today we had a class that was a 3 hour long lecture about the respiratory system. It wasn't your elementary school variety discussion that only involved the lungs either, it included really boring and confusing parts about muscles and a couple bones. Basically, it was 3 hours of looking at skeletons and muscles. The difference was that we had our class in one of the rooms on the Physical Therapy floor of our college. PTs have lots of therapy equipment and a lot of them are like toys. Now for bored college kids in that back of the classroom the equipment was just too hard to resist. About 30-45 minutes into class some of us were bouncing on exercise balls or making the skeletons do funny poses. The following are just some of the things we did:
By far the best part of it all though happened in the last 15-20 minutes of the class. My friend John was holding the skeleton's hand and I reached out to grab it only to recoil when I felt an electric shock. He laughed and said it had been happening since earlier. To fully understand the situation you have to know that we were standing on these big puzzle-like mats (kind of like the one you see at pre-schools). So, after that I tried figuring out how to recreate the shock. I started rubbing my shoes against the mat and then tapping my friend on the shoulder. When he felt the shock we looked at each other and grinned like loons before furiously rubbing our shoes against the mat and picking our new targets. We figured out that we could only shock people if they were also standing on the mats. We started running around shocking people and laughing maniacally(that was mostly me). I honestly thought I was Pikachu for a bit, especially when one of the electric shocks I caused actually made an audible "Bzzzt" sound.
We even got one of our most serious classmates to join us. He started running around trying to convince people to get on the mats by yelling "Come to the Dark Side!" while building up static to shock them. This went on until the class ended and by then we had about 10 people get on the mat and shock each other. On our way out my friend goes, "I wish we would have figured that out sooner." Now we're left wishing and waiting for another chance to have out class on the PT floor just so we can use "the force".

Jim Corbett National Park is named after a famous man-eater hunter Col. Jim Corbett. Corbett National Park was earlier named as Hailey National Park. It is situated in Nainital District of Uttarakhand. The park has been established in order to protect the endangered species of flora and fauna, especially the Bengal tiger.
Corbett National Park consists of geographical and ecological characteristics, and has been declared as an ecotourism destination. The park has 488 different species of plant and varied fauna. There has been increase in tourist inflow of which many of them doesn't adhere to the rules of the National park.
The Park is a heavenly abode for adventure seekers and wildlife lovers. It is India's first national park that comprises of around 520.8 Sq. km. Corbett National Park consists of around 110 tree species, 50 species of mammals, 580 species of birds and 25 species of reptiles. Wildlife Sanctuary was the first ever to come under this project to preserve Tigers.
Now some Do's and Don'ts that tourists need to take care of one's get into the Park:
- Need authorized permission to enter into the Park.
- You might be a great tourist and wildlife lover, but you should accompany a Nature Guide from Corbett Park for your wildlife safari and to visit the scenic landscapes inside the park.
- Drive slowly. In the Park, elephant safari and Jeep Safaris are available to take tourists deep into the forest. Please avoid any kind of disturbance to the wildlife.
- Keep driving on the known and guided roads and trails. Off-track driving may hamper the activities of animals and the growth of flora species..
- Visiting wildlife is beautiful enough if it is untouched. Hence it is advisable to keep safe distance from wildlife and keep them undisturbed.
- Do not make loud noise; as it will lessen up your chances of watching wildlife in the forest. Less noise mean more chance and undisturbed surrounding.
- Do not wear bright cloths that will grab the attention of animals, so better avoid the bright colour clothes.
- Guns and pistols are strictly prohibited to carry inside the park. Do not carry life risking weapons.
- Campfires and smokes should be at a very low level in the forest or should be avoided.
- Don't go off track at a point where it is not allowed.
- Maintain cleanliness while being in the park, and throw all kinds of garbage in the bag provided.
- Consumption of non-vegetarian food and alcohol are strictly prohibited inside the national park.
While being with the wildlife creatures in the Park, tourists need to maintain the lifestyle that correlates wildlife and human life. Following all these information would help visitors to watch and grab more and more wildlife species and would also leave wildlife undisturbed.
Happy Journey to Corbett National Park!

PLEASANTVILLE - Major building, staff, health check and policy changes are underway as a Newmarket-area animal shelter — closed 10 months after a ringworm outbreak — prepares to reopen.
Although several dates were discussed, the York Region branch of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals won't likely begin accepting animals again in "about two months," Alison Cross predicted Thursday.
Until then, seized, surrendered and stray pets will continue to be received, checked by employees and veterinarians at several portable trailers behind the Woodbine Ave. building, the OSPCA spokesman said. Contrary to a protester's claims outside, she said remodelling was planned for 2011 before a ringworm outbreak resulted in 102 dogs and cats destroyed last May.
After 10 years as an animal shelter, adoption and pet medical centre, Cross said renovations "were definitely necessary. "We never want to be in that position again," she said of the devastating outbreak. Extensive cleaning resulted in "severe damage," and more expansive repairs were needed — including ripping up wooden floors, replacing or fixing cracked doors and installing new drains, to prevent any of the fungi surviving, she said. Cross couldn't cite costs, but said outreach to sponsors raised more than $150,000.
When reopened, fewer animals will be housed, with an expanded emphasis on adoptions, helping people choose compatible pets, increased neutering to reduce unwanted animal "over-population," plus public teaching programs that will include grooming lessons. "We're in the business of saving lives, we're in the business of finding homes," Cross said. "We're doing good things for animal welfare."
She said the OSPCA name will expand to include "Provincial Educational and Animal Agency," as a reflection of the changes, which were conducted in consultation with other animal care agencies and experts in Canada and the U.S.
A public protest halted planned destruction of 350 animals. More than 200 were sent to "accredited agencies," for review by veterinarians before being adopted out, Cross said. Calling the outbreak "human error," the OSPCA laid off 26 attendants with promises of rehiring, and manager Denise Stephenson was fired. Stephenson insisted procedures were followed, claiming she was made a "scapegoat." CEO Kate MacDonald later told reporters a "not willful" breach of protocols occurred.

Uglyworld #741 - The Welcome Cookie (235-365), originally uploaded by www.bazpics.com.
Project 365 - Image 235/365
After the madness which ensued earlier in the week when Trunko happened upon a strange green goblin in the garden Babo had been out searching for the little guy ever since.
Finally he returned to the hotel room this evening with his new found friend, "Everyone, this is Gordon, he is a goblin, but no needs to be alarmed, he is a friendlies goblin".
The rest of the gang remained huddled up in the corner of the room wondering if the goblin had managed to use his goblin powers to brainwash Babo into believing he was nice, just to get inside the room and then devour the whole gang one by one.
Their fear was short-lived though when Gordon spoke to them, "Please don't be afraid, I'm just a lonely little green goblin who would like to make friends with you all, and your good buddy Babo here already explained to me that you all like cookies too, so the fact that cookies are my favourite food I think we'll all get along perfectly".
Babo showed Gordon into the kitchen where a cookie lay waiting, and with a gentle tap on Gordon's arm Babo explained, "You is our guests now Gordon, so we must supplies you with tasty cookies, enjoys this one to begins with!".
With a cheeky little grin on his face Gordon eyed up the tasty cookie and replied, "All for me?". Babo nodded his head and with that the welcome cookie was no more...

Ingram: A Racing Revolution Begins At ESPN3.com
From the Monday Morning Crew Chief™:
If you were up before dawn on Sunday to catch a plane, as I was, in hopes of seeing the green flag fall at the Bristol Motor Speedway's Sprint Cup event on TV at home, the idea of watching races live via a computer bears some thought.
On Saturday, the day before this journey started, I was at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, which was carried live on ESPN3.com, the first major race ever covered live on broadband. Up until now, if it's important enough to be televised live, the networks have the rights and send viewers to the traditional TV channels.
The traditional method of watching was where I was headed on Sunday. My way-before-dawn start paid off as I slid into my chair in the den at 1:17 p.m., watching the green drop on Fox Sports before Kyle Busch mowed down another field at Bristol. I then checked out portions of the coverage of Sebring at home via my laptop on the replay available at ESPN3.com just to see how things are percolating along in the land of broadband when it comes to better options for watching live race coverage on a variety of devices.
I had watched a good portion of ESPN3.com's Sebring coverage while in the media center at the track. At home, the replay displayed the same outstanding production values I had watched on the media center monitors, including commentary from veterans John Hindhaugh and Jeremy Shaw.
So what's all the ruckus about not being able to see the race live on Speed TV, the previous network most familiar to sports car racing fans – where the coverage of Sebring has admittedly been top
notch? As usual, race fans tend to find the traditional methodologies so comfortable that change is necessarily a painful process. That's a fundamental aspect of human nature and a consideration often overlooked in the rollout of the new broadband approach by the American Le Mans Series in a partnership with ESPN.
But is this change really going to work in the long haul – given that so many people have trouble accessing ESPN3.com's coverage? Or maybe just don't like the idea of watching a race live on a computer even if they can access it?
I must admit, the only way I'd like to watch a motor race live on my laptop would be if it wasn't available by any other method – such as while traveling. (More on this later.) At home, on the other hand, it's standard with newer models to be able to hook up the TV to a laptop and get the big screen view – just like downloading, say, Netflix.
The big rub at the moment: ESPN3.com is a new approach to live sports television and it's not available from all Internet Service Providers. Thus, ESPN, which continues to push the electronic media envelope in all directions, has tapped into the debate about net neutrality, one of the larger issues of our times.
Certain providers of Internet – take Comcast as but one example – regard ESPN3.com as basically a TV channel, which it is. Comcast got started providing cable service before it went into the business of providing Internet and phone service to customers through its broadband networks. In the case of Comcast, the ESPN3.com portion of the Internet is a TV channel just like the ones it charges its customers for. But there's no way for Comcast to tap into the revenue from this online TV. So it chooses to not deliver ESPN3.com, which competes for viewers.
This explains why, according to fellow Atlanta area residents who are on the Comcast network, accessing ESPN3.com to watch the Sebring 12-hour race live was not possible. On the other hand,
since my broadband hook-up is through a DSL line provided by AT&T, which is in a marketing partnership with ESPN3.com, I will have no problem getting ALMS live on line at my house in Atlanta.
As Scott Atherton, president of the ALMS has pointed out, the situation with ESPN3.com is analogous to the early days of what was originally called Speedvision. The first cable network dedicated to non-stop motor racing coverage, which was eventually rebranded as Speed TV once under the ownership of Fox Sports, was only available on a small percentage of cable networks in its infancy. As the cable universe expanded and the demand among consumers grew, Speed TV gradually became a cable staple.
What's different about the current issue of ESPN3.com concerns the cable network landscape, which is dramatically different these days. The issue of TV channels and movies getting delivered by broadband looks like tag-team Sumo wrestling match among corporate giants such as AT&T, Comcast, DirecTV, etc. In April of 2010, this struggle turned into a donnybrook when the Federal Communications Commission lost a court case against Comcast, which gutted the FCC's authority to regulate the Internet.
I would still bet the tide of history is on the side of ESPN3.com, because parceling up the Internet is not in the public interest and seems all too much like the draconian world of dictatorships and repressive regimes that monitor or shut down social media. On the other hand, the Internet is innovative and entrepreneurial capitalism at its best. In the case of video, production values are invariably tied to money and there has to be some compromise involving filthy lucre somewhere. (I wonder about the exchange of money between AT&T and ESPN3.com, for instance, or whether the relationship grew out of mutual promotional benefits.)
In the long haul, it seems to me companies like AT&T and Comcast are going to find ways to produce revenue streams via payments from one source or another to deliver video on broadband. It's a question of how much it will cost and how it will be implemented.
As for the ALMS, although the sanctioning body has regularly stumbled, sometimes badly, on the introduction of its new platform in terms of communicating with fans, the timing was right to make
a switch to develop new TV partnerships beyond the traditional scheme that has usually prevailed with Speed TV and its parent Fox Sports. The ALMS schedule has gradually migrated to Saturdays. From the point of view of ESPN and ABC, that makes for good timing with live broadband events on Saturday and taped network shows on Sundays, which carry the budget through advertising.
Taped delay, of course, has rarely made sense for racing fans, this being to my mind the biggest fly in the ointment – not the difficulty of accessing ESPN3.com. In my humble opinion, tape-delayed racing coverage is a lot like a beer that's been opened a day earlier – flat and featureless because the networks invariably cut the shows down from a longer "live to tape" telecast. The methodology necessarily loses the story line and perspective.
Then there's the usual problem of major networks being so self-conscious about their own lack of racing knowledge (outside of NASCAR) and simultaneously trying to pitch the sport to mainstream viewers on tape delay. The result is an effort driven by producers/directors to explain to the uninitiated how motor racing works, which just bores the hell out of everybody, newcomers and veterans alike. Stick a stream-of-consciousness type like Hindhaugh in there to make the call and newcomers can then alloy themselves to the genuine sense of excitement.
In more ways than the hideous specter of tape-delayed coverage, we've not quite arrived in the brave new electronic world of broadband sports delivery yet. Due to "instabilities," says the information at ESPN3.com, the use of Firebug is not possible to get events from the site, which excludes handheld devices. Since the ESPN3.com system depends on Flash technology, Apple devices can't receive it. As for gamers, the XBox can get ESPN3.com – with the right membership fees.
Nobody can get ESPN3.com on their laptop via a wireless card yet, to take another example of the ongoing technical handicaps still in place for getting racing live via an electronic device.
The day a race fan can get all events live on virtually any kind of device, this revolution will be complete. It got started on Saturday at Sebring.

adding up activities
Kind of a personal topic, so that's why I put it in the women's corner. If anyone knows the answer, please chime in. I was putting in my activities today: shopping, sleeping and the standard "seated with some movement" for my lifestyle. Then I added sex, moderate effort. and my calories burned actually went down. I figured out that the system says both sex, moderate effort and seated with some movement are 2 calories burned for every minute, although the calories burned will go down if you add in sex. If you just leave it at seated with some movement the day's calories burned will be higher. I would like to think that sex with moderate effort would be worth more than me sitting at my desk and getting up every so often. Anyone ever notice that before? I'm kind of baffled. "Sorry honey. We can't have sex today because FitDay says it will cost me calories burned." lol:confused:
I think the 'seated' activity is something that covers all of your day. They come up with a number that would quantify all that energy expenditure, averaging out getting up from time to time, moving around, but basically not bursts of energy required by conventional exercise. Then when you add in sex, that takes some time (a small portion of all of the day is used for) out of that number. And perhaps it assumes 'lying down' - that can be a wrong assumption!). The average calorie expenditure for sex is going to be more than seated activity but it's also going to be brief and dwarfed by the total you already have - whatever you put in to describe your typical day. Except maybe if there was an option, 'lying still all day in bed'!
That's my guess. Someone else may come up with the explanation that is more factual!
LOL It's worth it for the mental health benefits anyway. The calories burned should not go down unless you have your metabolism as very active to being with. Yikes it does the same on mine.
Noticed it
;) I do not know why they think sex burns less calories than moderate walking, but I've noticed this as well! Well, one cannot expect perfection from any site or system:)
'Myth number 7: A bout of sexual activity burns 100 to 300 kcal for each participant.
The energy expenditure of sexual intercourse can be estimated by taking the product of activity intensity in metabolic equivalents (METs), the body weight in kilograms, and time For example, a man weighing 154 lb (70 kg) would, at 3 METs, expend approximately 3.5 kcal per minute (210 kcal per hour) during a stimulation and orgasm session. This level of expenditure is similar to that achieved by walking at a moderate pace (approximately 2.5 miles [4 km] per hour). Given that the average bout of sexual activity lasts about 6 minutes, a man in his early-to-mid-30s might expend approximately 21 kcal during sexual intercourse. Of course, he would have spent roughly one third that amount of energy just watching television, so the incremental benefit of one bout of sexual activity with respect to energy expended is plausibly on the order of 14 kcal.'
From 'Myths, presumptions, and facts about obesity.
Casazza K1, Fontaine KR, Astrup A, Birch LL, Brown AW, Bohan Brown MM, Durant N, Dutton G, Foster EM, Heymsfield SB, McIver K, Mehta T, Menachemi N, Newby PK, Pate R, Rolls BJ, Sen B, Smith DL Jr, Thomas DM, Allison DB.'
The New England Journal of Medicine, January 31, 2013
Given that the average bout of sexual activity lasts about 6 minutes, a man in his early-to-mid-30s might expend approximately 21 kcal during sexual intercourse.
I would think that having sex would give you a sense of well-being that would eliminate emotional cravings for a while, and therefor reduce your calorie intake. I would never stop to think about how many calories I would burn! LOL

Parity Violation
The nonconservation of parity observed in certain nuclear and atomic experiments. Parity, the proposition that nature cannot tell left from right, is upheld in experiments observing interactions among the strong and electromagnetic forces but not for those involving the weak nuclear force. In other words, for parity to be "conserved," it would make no difference in our measurements whether we were observing an interaction among particles directly or in a mirror. For the strong and electromagnetic forces this is true but not for the weak force. The weak force, although not weaker than gravity, is the least palpable of the forces in our ordinary experience. It operates only within the nuclei inside atoms and is therefore hard to probe.

EU countries back copyright reform targeting Google, FacebookReuters #Portrait_TabletlandscapeApril 15, 2019
FILE PHOTO: A 3D plastic representation of the Facebook logo is seen in front of displayed cables in this illustration in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina May 13, 2015.
REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/File Photo
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union's bid to overhaul its two-decade old copyright rules cleared its final hurdle on Monday as EU governments backed the move forcing Google to pay publishers for news snippets and Facebook to filter out protected content.
Nineteen countries, including France and Germany, endorsed the revamp while Finland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden were against.
Belgium, Estonia and Slovenia abstained.
The European Parliament gave its green light last month to a proposal that has pitted Europe's creative industry against tech companies, internet activists and consumer groups, triggering intense lobbying from both sides.
The European Commission kicked off the debate two years ago, saying the rules needed to be revised to protect the bloc's creative industries which is worth 915 billion euros ($1 trillion) and employs 11.65 million people.
Under the new rules, Google and other online platforms will have to sign licensing agreements with musicians, performers, authors, news publishers and journalists to use their work online.
Google's YouTube, Facebook's Instagram and other sharing platforms will also have to install filters to prevent users from uploading copyrighted materials.

The picture above was from our trip to the Christmas markets in Edinburgh earlier today, Paul kept snapping pictures of us while we tried on hats. You can't see Paul all that well but I still love the shot. I feel as if all I have done this week is shop, but for food and nothing else! We have bought everything for Christmas dinner -except the fresh vegetable, and some other non-Christmas bits just because, well...you know, we need food. I also fell as if this week has gone by far too fast, it's as if the year can't wait to be over.
2. Paul made short bread earlier in the week and that made me a very happy girl! It was chocolate chip too!
3. A surprise package all the was from the US, thanks Ellie :)
4. Cinnamon scented pine cones, the house just smells like Christmas! For some reason though I keep calling them acorns?
5. Edinburgh's Christmas lights, walking around the city at night I can't help but smile.
6. Watching Harry Potter on a Saturday night, they always take me straight back to my childhood.
7. Glittery nails!

We're raised with the idea that we can do whatever we want. And more often than not, we're told that true happiness is in exploration, cultural enlightenment, travel, and self-growth. And so naturally, in the wake of Bourdain's death, a sentiment heard often is, "Anthony Bourdain was rich, a lively person, and traveling the entire world… he had everything, but he was unhappy. What hope is there for me?"

SNTA Chief Comes Out Swinging
Speaking ahead of the broadcast upfronts, Mitch Burg, president of the Syndicated Network Television Association (SNTA), says he's glad syndication gets lower CPMs (costs per thousand) from advertisers than the broadcast networks. The lower cost makes it more desirable to buyers, he says, especially in a tough advertising environment.
Many in the media-buying community agree. Scott Haugenes, senior VP of national broadcast for Initiative Media, says having the cheaper CPMs "definitely helps."
Ad buyers say the difference in CPMs is the result of having syndicated shows run in a variety of different time periods, stretching from daytime to late night. Additionally, they point to varying forms of ratings measurement and restrictions placed on advertisers for syndicated offerings. Haugenes cites as an example advertisers' having to run their national syndicated spots during two-week movie broadcast windows, which can limit their flexibility.
Yet top-tier syndicated shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show ($10.80 per thousand) and Entertainment Tonight ($13.25) fetch network-level CPMs. Appearing in late-afternoon early-fringe slots leading into prime, the shows played a significant role in boosting full-year syndication revenues in 2005. Burg pegs the tally at $4.2 billion—higher than Fox, The WB and UPN—versus more than $3.8 billion in 2004.
Overall, Burg says, syndication advertising is up 32% over the past five years, while networks are at a 21% increase. "We don't consider [syndication to be] bargain-basement," Haugenes says. "It has a lot of value. [The top shows] all have the ratings and audience to support them."
With mild ratings erosion in most categories, CPMs for the syndication business as a whole are expected to remain flat this year, with revenues growing perhaps 2%-3%.
While off-network sitcoms, such as Seinfeld and Friends, represent many of the highest-grossing syndicated shows, original series are the bulk of business. "First-run programs constitute 70% of syndicated programming and two-thirds of the dollars that syndication generates," says Burg.
Like the broadcast networks, some first-run shows could also benefit from multiple-platform delivery. Media buyers are having sponsors buy spots for one program on TV and all of its other platforms, including Web sites, which allows them to follow viewers wherever they may be watching. "That is a big thing for us right now," Haugenes says.
Besides price, SNTA has been using every "wow" point at its disposal to attract advertisers as the upfronts approach. The organization hopes to overcome issues like DVR viewership and new mini-networks eating away at gross ratings points.
Burg is using a presentation that favorably compares syndication with networks in terms of long-term ratings growth, ad clutter, brand retention, consistency and delivering younger demos. But some advertisers say it's not fair to pit five-day-a-week strip shows airing at all times of the day against network series that air once a week in prime.
One element Burg touts is that 78% of syndicated shows are viewed "live" rather than recorded—much higher than with a broadcast program. "When they're worried about fragmentation," says Burg, "we're not fragmenting."

Mother's Day has come and gone, another Hallmark holiday meant to guilt-trip the neglectful – perhaps spoken like a person whose mother (and mother-in-law) is long gone. It's nice to be recognized throughout the year, not just on major or minor holidays. Do we really need sappy commercials to remind us that somewhere, sometime, someone was there to push the slimy being you once were out into the brave new world?
I'm sometimes annoyed when I hear people talking about their mothers in disparaging terms. They may have their problems, be eccentric, weird, dysfunctional, heartless, or abusive. They may wear miniskirts and push-up bras when you might wish they would choose something more demure. God forbid, they might like your bands, your sports, and your movies. They may drone on and on and on, repeating the same stories you've heard forever until you think the muscles in your face could cringe no more. They may be physically unwell or emotionally crippling.
Or they could be like mine, taking up space under a shady tree in a Fountain, Colorado cemetery. Or like my mother-in-law, whose ashes are on a shelf in my basement.
Though I have no mothers left in my life, I happen to be one, blessed with two children of my own. While they would describe me as a "mean" mom (or clueless, embarrassing, stupid, or hopelessly out of date, among other descriptors), they won't know the depth of my feelings toward them until they become parents themselves.
That's how it was for me.
Mothers aren't perfect humans, although many of them strive to be. My own mother was the least perfect person I knew. If my husband's mother had known her, she would have thought her to be incredibly selfish and mentally unbalanced. Her life was hers, and never once did it revolve around her children. My mother-in-law was the exact opposite; she lived and breathed through her children and mine. She bent over backward in the opposite direction in an attempt to be the perfect mother and grandmother.
I had hoped to find a happy medium, but it's easy to get swept into the lives of your spawn. After all, it's through them that you witness a new germination of hopes and dreams, dreams you were either too busy or too lazy to see to fruition for yourself. There were dance recitals, sports, music competitions, cheerleading, scouts, gymnastics, scholastic achievements, art classes, and more. Motherly pride got quite a workout in those days. Perhaps I felt a need to make up for all the parent-teacher conferences my own mother never attended.
As it happens all too often, somewhere along the way it became un-cool to have such an attentive mother. It's sometimes un-cool to have any mother at all. So like many mothers, I faded to the background of my children's lives, only to emerge for culinary or monetary emergencies. Besides, they're adults now.
My favorite book growing up was Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, and my favorite passage was "On Children."
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
This passage carried me through my turbulent teen years and a strained relationship with my own mother. When I was 16, I read this to her in an attempt to get her to look at my perspective. She thought it was the most onerous thing ever written. Like a lot of mothers of her era, she believed in the exact opposite. Children were your property and responsibility to be molded and beaten into shape, not given opportunities for discovery.
Mothers are the building blocks for life, not the entire foundation. They hold an important role, one that deserves respect, but at some point the child has to take a step up and away. I know many people who blame their mothers for the life they have today. Children should be able to learn from the missteps of their parents as well as from their success. You can only levy so much of your circumstance on your mother; the rest is up to you.
On this motherless Mother's Day, I didn't wait for phone calls or presents from my faraway kids. My day was already planned from dawn to dusk with things I wanted to do.
I'm too far away to have visited my mother's grave last Sunday (coincidentally her birthday), but I think I'll get my mother-in-law a new urn.
And I'll open up The Prophet and have a cup of tea.

Seminar: Scaled-down Rice's Theorem And Connections With Satisfiability Problem
Shadab Romani
M.Sc. Thesis Proposal
Supervisor: Dr. Antonina Kolokolova & Dr. Miklos Bartha
Scaled-down Rice's Theorem And Connections With Satisfiability Problem
Department of Computer Science
Thursday, January 28, 2016, 1:40 p.m., Room EN 2022
Scaled-down Rice's theorem is a conjecture about the hardness of deciding semantic properties of Boolean circuits. According to this conjecture, having access to succinct description of a circuit does not give any significant computational advantage compared to pure oracle access when we want to
decide a property that only depends on the input-output behaviour of circuit. We investigate what implications the scaled-down Rice's theorem being true or false have for satisfiability problem. Additionally, we analyse variants of this conjecture by restricting its original statement to computationally limited sub-classes of general Boolean circuits.

I've had a really long week. Here is my weekend Top Ten:
- A 4 day weekend
- Celebrating 14 years with my sweetie
- Quiet mornings with a cup of coffee and no one awake
- Lazy afternoons to play with my boys
- Late nights to scrap with my new Studio Calico and Mosh Posh kits
- Me time at the spa for a relaxing massage and facial
- A family day out for lunch and a trip to the aquarium
- Cooking some comfort food including my "almost" fried chicken and mashed potatoes
- Sneak peek night at Studio Calico
- A nap, or three
Here's to hoping I get out of work at a halfway decent hour tonight!
And another layout made with the July Studio Calico kit.

There are three basic approaches that you can take if you are exercising to lose weight and get a flat stomach. These are: Cardio, High Intensity Interval Training [HIIT], and Weight Training. Many people opt for cardio. It is gentle and undemanding and not as intimidating as HITT or weight training. But what exercise burns the most fat?
My choice would be weight training
I do not advocate just one exercise method for burning fat. My flat stomach workout combines weight training and HIIT. However if I had to pick one exercise for fat burning it would be weight training. It is entirely possible burn fat and and develop a flat stomach through weight training and dieting alone.
There are a number of reasons why weight training is the most effective exercise for burning fat.
Weight training boosts your resting metabolic rate
Your metabolic rate is the rate at which your body burns calories. When you do any form of exercise you boost your metabolic rate for the duration of the exercise and possibly for a limited time afterwards if the exercise is high intensity.
With weight training you also stimulating your body to build muscle mass. Building muscle mass is the key to losing fat. Studies have shown that one pound of muscle burns 7-10 calories in a day whereas one pound of fat burns only 2-3 calories in a day.
By building muscle, weight training increases your resting metabolic rate [RMR], the rate at which your body burns calories when you are at rest, even when you are sleeping in bed. Increasing your RMR means that your body will be burning calories at a faster rate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the total calories that your body burns is greater that the total calories you are eating, you will start to lose fat.
Weight training is very time effective
Weight training is a very effective use of your time. The best weight training method for building lean muscle would be to use multi-joint movements known as compound movements and lift heavy weights. You can effectively cover all the major muscle groups with 4 compound movements. This means that you can work your whole body in 30 minutes.
If you train with intensity you can increase your muscle mass with only one weight training session a week. However for best results I would recommend 2 weight training sessions a week.
Weight training will sculpt your body
When you say you want to burn fat, you also want to transform the appearance of your body. The physique you want typically involves having broad shoulders, v-taper back, a flat stomach, firm butt and toned arms and legs. Burning body fat through cardio is not in itself going to give you this kind of physique. You need to sculpt your muscle all over your body and you can only do this through weight training.
The Importance of Diet
Of course following a healthy diet is an essential part of your weight loss plan. I am not an obsessive calorie counter and I moderate my food intake simply by eating wholefood meals and snacks as set out in my flat stomach diet. However diet should always be combined with exercise.
People who rely solely on dieting to lose body fat will find in fact up to half of the weight lost is muscle.
Muscle is the part of your body that burns up the calories from food. The less muscle you have, the less calories you burn. When you have wasted your muscle mass away through dieting, you will not have to eat much to produce a calorie surplus. Your body will convert this calorie surplus into fat.
This is the downfall of many diet plans and explains why so many dieters eventually find that they start piling the pounds back on.
Weight training is the ideal answer to this problem for as it will ensure that your body will maintain and even increase muscle mass even whilst you are reducing your calorie intake through your diet.
Short and sweet
So if you are extremely pressed for time and you can only commit to two short exercise sessions a week, you would best spend this time lifting weights. The muscle you gain will boost your resting metabolic rate, and your fat will burn off day and night. Therefore lifting weights is the exercise that burns the most fat overall.

Buy all the things Credit Card Design
8 comments:
Great to see that you are truly embracing capitalism because our economy needs the stimulus. Also, nice canvas idea. Quote from credit card design reviewer: "Reject ALL the card design things!"ReplyDelete
Awesome :-) I don't get why Capital One gets to decide how you decorate your card. Fortunately they accepted my design, but it was hardly as adventurous as your awesome MS Paint job, or the final product.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Luke! Do we get to see what your design is?Delete
you fall right into that category lolReplyDelete
You'll notice that he blacked out the digits on the card. The sample ones are a just the numbers 1-12. The one thing you can tell from his picture is that his card number has at least one 0 in it.
- Anonymous6/24/13, 3:15 PM
My all-time favorite design ever. Would love a template to make mine like that... where can I get one!?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! I actually markered this in by hand. Send me an email and I'll send you a template you can print and copy off of if you really want to :)Delete

How did you get the image to stay? What kind of markers? If you're still providing it can I also get a template please?ReplyDelete

The McElreath's Secret to a Happy Marriage (One Simple Daily Practice)
I love going to wedding showers. It is such a joy to see young couples starting their own Christian homes. More often than not, when I am invited to a wedding shower, I am given a slip of paper to share marriage advice with the new bride. I always share the "secret" I am about to share with you today.
Which leads me to a confession. My title should probably be considered "click-bait." There is no ONE secret to a happy marriage, and there is nothing secret about it. Everything needed to make a marriage successful is clearly spelled out in God's Holy Word.
HOWEVER, the practice I will share with you has helped my husband, Mac, and I weather storms we could have never imagined when we exchanged our vows in marriage more than six years ago. It has helped us crowd out parasites that could destroy our marriage and helped us truly enjoy each other.
Every night, the last thing we do before finally going to sleep is share with each other one thing we are thankful for and pray with each other before we go to sleep. We have two rules:
1. It must be something that happened that day. You cannot say something that you are looking forward to tomorrow or something you are grateful for in the past. It has to have happened that day.
2. You may not repeat what the other person said. You must come up with your own thing you are thankful for.
On even-numbered days, I will pray. On odd-numbered days, Mac will pray.
It seems like such a simple thing, but the effects have been so profound.
1. It helps us eliminate complaining.
Our Lord hates complaining so much. We must realize that complaining is so sinful because it shows a deep underlying distrust in the Lord to provide for our every need.
2. It helps us resolve our differences before we go to bed.

|Most UK orders delivered next day
|Visit our studio and have shirts made
The explosion of the snowboard culture in the 90`s gave birth to a fast growing rich language of snowboard terminology. The Snowboard slope slang. The `Airdogs ` where known as the rulers of the big air snowboard contests. To be a true snowboarder of the 90`s you have to talk the talk.
The shirts:
These t shirts are unique for being made exclusively for us wholly with fibres ring spun into yarns manufactured exclusively for WeAdmire. These yarns are then knitted into a single jersey fabric suitable for t shirts.
The CoolMax bit exploits the surface tension of water to wick moisture from your skin. It works through micro channels engineered into the profile of the fibre. These channels are physical attributes, they are there for the life of the fibre.
The Fresh FX bit embeds a silver salt in the molecular structure of the fibre that stops the propagation of bacteria which, left unchecked, ultimately cause a sour odour. Because the silver salt is embedded within the fibre it, like the wicking, is similarly permanent; it will not leech out with wear and washing.
These attributes deliver shirts that remain cool and dry almost regardless of what you might do in them and similarly they remain fresh. And the ongoing performance of the fabric is guaranteed. This is important, these shirts will become your favourite items of apparel, you will want to wear your shirts again and again.
These shirts are marvellous to travel with, they stay fresh if you don't have the chance to wash them, they wash easily when you do have the chance, and they dry super quickly. There is also a very useful side effect to all this: our shirts keep anything you wear on top of them and what you might wear after wearing them fresher too.
The cut and fit and sizing of these shirts is exclusive to us and was specified by Anastasia Vouyouka, a published guru of fit in the fashion industry.
The feel of the very best natural fibre shirts you have experienced with the performance of the fibres that set the benchmarks for wicking and freshness. It is very unlikely you will have experienced this level of technical performance in a decorated t shirt before.
