Linea and Swift
My last day in Atlanta was spent on the Linea and the Swift. New developments for LaMarzoccos will be, or already are, the flow meter on semiautomatic machines will be saturated inside the group head. Access will be granted through a panel on top of the group head for repairs. No more lost heat in the counting of the electric pulse.
The porcelain burrs in the swift are terribly expensive, but should last considerably longer than even stainless steel, just don't adjust them to the point of touching or they shatter.
I don't want to name names or bash any companies out there, so will be as discreet as possible. One service tech who was taking the class with me claimed that he had taken the grind adjustment knobs off of a swift at a shop because, he said, the humidity fluctuated so much that the Baristas kept changing the grind size. This was the same repair person who trained shop managers to never rinse grinds out of dirty protafilters. His reason was that grinds will clog the drain hose, and did not want to get calls for such small problems. Now, I know that everyone has their own reasons for doing things, and sometimes practicality will take precedence over quality. But to sacrifice quality at every possible opportunity for the sake of saving himself the aggravation of talking someone through an easy fix over the phone is just plain ignorance. The deliberate dissemination of bad, improper, or corner cutting information for these selfish reasons is the kind of lazy attitude that keeps the specialty coffee industry under the thumb of a poorly informed consuming public.
Part of me feels like dope slapping the guy, who talked right through me whenever I tried to make a point of debate, and part of me is happy to leave the lowest quality crap slingers keep on slinging just to keep the quality stuff well separated from the throng.
And while I'm at it, I would also like to put a stop to the application of this cop out attitude: "It is all a matter of personal taste." While it is true that there are any number of ways to make coffee and espresso, and every one has their own likes and dislikes, don't be mistaken about certain basic facts of physical science and human physiology. There are well established parameters of what is considered good and bad, savory and putrid, delicate and acrid, according to the general perceptions afforded us by the nature of our senses. There is a window of opportunity that we strive for in the preparation of coffee drinks, and everything involved in the preparation is either pointing us into that window or out of it. I am sick of hearing people invoke the "personal taste" rationale to justify poor quality, inattention, or laziness in the preparation of specialty coffees. It is an argument from personal incredulity, and is borne out of an inability to step out of the comfort zone and let oneself be teachable. There are occasions when deviating from the established conventions of flavor are bold moves for progressive thinking, but many times I hear this used to cover up an inability to justify behaviors created by blindly stumbling through the unknown. Just fess up to stuff that is unknown. Sorry, too much caffeine at 3:00 am.

Speed Innovations to market with Less Waste and Risk. A PDMA webcast from April 17, 2014
Why do engineers need financial cross-training? A recently updated white paper discusses three benefits: improved dexterity, better decisions, and a deeper management talent pool.
Executive Briefings
Articles and whitepapers of interest to the product development community.
Eliminate Waste in Front End Exploration
In the common wisdom of product innovation, State-Gate (r) processes will reduce waste. But traditional processes fail miserably in the Front End of Innovation, where researchers explore the promising new concepts that nourish the back-end product development effort. In a recently published article, Carla Kuesten and I look at examples of Front End waste and present an iterative process to reduce that waste.
Barriers to Agile Product Development. Software developers are embracing the value of Agile development, but developers outside of the software domain are slow to adopt agile principles. One reason is that decades-old beliefs about project planning are deeply ingrained in management thinking.
Designs change. Deal with it! Contrary to common beliefs, mid-stream changes in design projects are the rule, not the exception. Some preparation greatly reduces the cost of these changes.
Avoid 11-th hour project dilemmas by preparing for change. A recent visions article explains how principles of Flexible Development help to avoid the costly dilemma to do it wrong or do it over.
Flexibility costs and benefits. A white paper with Preston Smith on the costs and benefits of Flexible Product Development based on interviews with product development leaders. Also available: Slides from the online forum.
3 Principles to Improve Product Innovation. Firms that look for improvements exclusively in the engineering department are missing the mark. This article presents ideas for company-wide improvements to the new product effort.
Rightsizing your New Product Process. No matter what size a company is, it's a bad idea to adopt another company's "best practices" NPD processes are a balance between costs and benefits, and a process that doesn't fit won't produce the best results.
When the Solution is not the Opposite of the Problem. Organizations often find themselves bouncing back and forth between a problem and a "solution" that doesn't work. Using ideas from the organizational theory of polarity management, this article explains causes of and solutions to this perplexing situation.
Improving R&D results: Count on the Uncountable. There are 5 important dimensions of performance for product development, but only 2 are countable. Managers who insist exclusively on measureable metrics see only an incomplete picture.
Is Friction Dragging Down your New Product Results? Don't just accept conflict between talented technologists working on new products. This kind of friction can seriously undermine business results.
Hiring for Skills Plus Cultural Fit. Do you find yourself hiring for the same position over and over again? You may be hiring for skills and experience, but ignoring cultural fit.
Efficient Communications. Managers at most technical firms focus their attention on tangible issues: hard facts and measureable data. But intangible issues such as communications can have a tangible impact on business results.

Lost bay
8 days
Price per person: 950 €
Number of participants: max. 14 participants
Mali Drvenik is a small island remote from mainstream tourism. Well known however to yachtsmen and captains of mega yachts who love to cruise these beautiful unspoiled waters. The one hour ferry ride from the Unesco town of Trogir to Mali Drvenik is one of the most beautiful in the world and will give you a taste of the time ahead. But it does not match the magical feeling of exploring the local islands, bays, the wildlife and nature by sea kayak. We'll return everyday to our base, the lovely resort of Vela Rina, on the south side of the island, to a great dinner and local wine. Some of the unique and breathtakingly beautiful places we will visit are Trogir, Veli Drvenik, Vinisce, Solta and Sevid.
The tour is very well suited for sea kayak beginners.
Sea kayaking and island hopping tour "Lost bay" includes:
sea kayaks Prijon Excursion (double) or Touryak (single) andand other paddling equipment; expert guides and kayaking lessons; accommodation (7 overnights in a small resort, double occupancy of room); 7 breakfasts and dinners (without drinks); insurance; transfer from and to the airport; packet lunches + 1 lunch in one of the top restaurants in Dalmatia
Sea kayaking and island hopping tour "Lost bay" does not include:
airfare and other travel of non local character; drinks; various specific personal items (hygienic, medical etc.).
Day 1
Transfer from Split airport by van to the UNESCO world heritage town of Trogir. The ferry ride from Trogir to Mali Drvenik is one of the most beautiful on the Adriatic and takes you passed some of the most breathtaking scenery in Dalmatia.
After arrival at Vela Rina, we'll brief you on the itinerary we have planed and help you settle in.
Welcome dinner.
Free time.
Day 2
After breakfast our multilingual expert guides slowly settle you in, make you familiar with the sea kayaks and the equipment. They will live you thorough safety briefing and sea kayak instructions. They will give you a short survival course on the first day. You can learn a few tricks on how to survive if you are ever stranded at sea or on land. This is optional and free. Lots of fun. On the first day, we'll take it easy and just explore the Vela Rina bay by sea kayak. We always carry snorkel equipment which you are welcome to use. Free of course.
Return to Vela Rina for dinner
Free time.
Day 3
We'll set out with our sea kayaks and circumnavigate Mali Drvenik. We make lots of stops on the 7km journey. We always take packet lunches with us and stop at a beautiful beach around noon, so you can eat, rest, swim, sunbathe or snorkel.
Return to Vela Rina.
Free time.
Day 4
After breakfast, we'll go exploring. We'll head north west to the island of Arhanđel, 4,5 km north west from Vela Rina. Arhanđel is one of the most beautiful places in Dalmatia. It is 500 m south of the mainland and has many uninhabited isles and unspoiled secluded beaches.
Return to Vela Rina
Free time.
Day 5
We'll go island exploring again and head 6 km north east to the small uninhabited island of Kluda about half way from Vela Rina to Trogir. If we have the time and strength on the way back, we'll stop for a drink in the old harbor of Veli Drvenik.
Return to Vela Rina
Free time.
Day 6
Today we'll sea kayak to the magnificent bay - Krknjaši. Krknjaši is on the wishlist of every yachtsman and sailor in the world. In the summer you can see hundreds of yachts parked there. We'll take you for lunch in a restaurant that can only be reached by boat. The restaurant is the second reason why Krknjaši is on so many yachtsman list of places to visit. It is run by family of a local fisherman. The name of the restaurant is in the address books of everybody who is anybody in the world of show business, finance or politics.

I got dressed as slut this day time and made my strategy down the nasty streets of LA in hunt of a gathering of hung black guys. I expect the gossips are real in that they take an pretty white lady and use her face for some graffiti of their very own. My partner considers I'm out at the shopping center with my female friends and he'd shit himself if he understood that his upcoming spouse was satisfying as much black monster cock as likely. My lungs went into overtime as huge black dicks came from all edges to fuck my mouth. There was no limp cock to be discovered which is a major change from what I get at evening from my guy.

Final Fantasy 5 Review

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Final Fantasy 15 Review
Final Fantasy 15 (FF15), is open world RPG developed and published by Square Enix, and after many delays over the course of 10 whole years was finally released in November, 29, 2016. In 2013 FF15 was released under the name of Final Fantasy versus 13, a very confusing side of the Final Fantasy 13 universe, but only resulted in much confusion and disarray among fans. Some time in 2013 Final Fantasy versus 13 was replaced with the announcement of FF15's arrival. FF15 didn't have the much of the story or other game elements from previous Final Fantasy games and was a completely new game. FF15 even though was well accepted did fall short on some promises and lacked in the story department, many fans still connected with the characters as they could roam in the vast outside world in FF15.
You play as Noctis, the prince of the kingdom of Lucis, the game is set in the middle of a tense war between Lucis and Niflheim. So you and your friends set off to marry you off to princess lunafreya, otherwise known as the Oracle and is your childhood friend. But before you get there your home is attacked and your father the king of Lucis is reported dead, so your group heads out to find the royal arms of past kings to aid you in your quest to take back your home.
Gameplay wise, for FF15 prior knowledge of past Final Fantasy games is not necessary to enjoy and understand this game, because it is a completely new game from the other Final Fantasy series. Throughout your time playing FF15 you will be able and or required to do a variety of things such as exploring many dungeons, side quests to upgrade your weapons or regalia, and many more. Overall what makes this game so wonderful is the open world take on it while the game does have a story and required bosses to progress with the main story you can take breaks be taking on the many many side quests that are readily available everywhere, in towns,cities, fishing spots, everywhere. So through your playthrough you should feel free to take as much time as needed to truly enjoy, understand, and appreciate this game to the fullest. All of this things are optional and by no means whatsoever are you obligated to try and finish all of these things but doing so will prove to be beneficial to you later on in the game when you may find that things are much harder and simple things and abilities aren't available to you due to lack of ap points.
AP point are things that you collect by doing side quests or simple things like driving in the car for long distances. Ap points help you with everything and without them you will not get every far or be able to defeat most enemies and will find yourself having to heal a lot. You buy abilities, team skills, combat skills and, many other types with AP point which is why they are so important for you to have because there is no other way to acquire new abilities, and if you have ever played a RPG before you know it is very difficult to beat bosses with beginner moves. But feel free to do anything however you want at your own pace. The game does assist you with everything that you can and have to do by having you main objective and side quests readily available for you to see, and before you enter a long part in the game where you may not be able to be in a open world for a period of time to keep you on the main story but you can decline this message and continue in the open world but you do have to complete the main story in order to progress. In short I highly recommend that you play FF15 for its open world take on the Final Fantasy series, intriguing and fun gameplay that keeps you engaged throughout the game whether you are completing side quests or progressing throughout the story to and ending that will surprise you FF15 is a great game that is worth spending your time on.

The four colour theorem
|Geometry and topology index
|History Topics Index
The Four Colour Conjecture first seems to have been made by Francis Guthrie. He was a student at University College London where he studied under De Morgan. After graduating from London he studied law but by this time his brother Frederick Guthrie had become a student of De Morgan. Francis Guthrie showed his brother some results he had been trying to prove about the colouring of maps and asked Frederick to ask De Morgan about them.
De Morgan was unable to give an answer but, on 23 October 1852, the same day he was asked the question, he wrote to Hamilton in Dublin. De Morgan wrote:-
A student of mine asked me today to give him a reason for a fact which I did not know was a fact - and do not yet. He says that if a figure be anyhow divided and the compartments differently coloured so that figures with any portion of common boundary line are differently coloured - four colours may be wanted, but not more - the following is the case in which four colours are wanted. Query cannot a necessity for five or more be invented. ...... If you retort with some very simple case which makes me out a stupid animal, I think I must do as the Sphynx did....Hamilton replied on 26 October 1852 (showing the efficiency of both himself and the postal service):-
I am not likely to attempt your quaternion of colour very soon.Before continuing with the history of the Four Colour Conjecture we will complete details of Francis Guthrie. After practising as a barrister he went to South Africa in 1861 as a Professor of Mathematics. He published a few mathematical papers and became interested in botany. A heather (Erica Guthriei) is named after him.
De Morgan kept asking if anyone could find a solution to Guthrie's problem and several mathematicians worked on it. Charles Peirce in the USA attempted to prove the Conjecture in the 1860's and he was to retain a lifelong interest in the problem. Cayley also learnt of the problem from De Morgan and on 13 June 1878 he posed a question to the London Mathematical Society asking if the Four Colour Conjecture had been solved. Shortly afterwards Cayley sent a paper On the colouring of maps to the Royal Geographical Society and in was published in 1879. The paper explains where the difficulties lie in attempting to prove the Conjecture.
On 17 July 1879 Alfred Bray Kempe announced in Nature that he had a proof of the Four Colour Conjecture. Kempe was a London barrister who had studied mathematics under Cayley at Cambridge and devoted some of his time to mathematics throughout his life. At Cayley's suggestion Kempe submitted the Theorem to the American Journal of Mathematics where it was published in 1879. Story read the paper before publication and made some simplifications. Story reported the proof to the Scientific Association of Johns Hopkins University in November 1879 and Charles Peirce, who was at the November meeting, spoke at the December meeting of the Association of his own work on the Four Colour Conjecture.
Kempe used an argument known as the method of Kempe chains. If we have a map in which every region is coloured red, green, blue or yellow except one, say X. If this final region X is not surrounded by regions of all four colours there is a colour left for X. Hence suppose that regions of all four colours surround X. If X is surrounded by regions A, B, C, D in order, coloured red, yellow, green and blue then there are two cases to consider.
(i) There is no chain of adjacent regions from A to C alternately coloured red and green.If (i) holds there is no problem. Change A to green, and then interchange the colour of the red/green regions in the chain joining A. Since C is not in the chain it remains green and there is now no red region adjacent to X. Colour X red.
(ii) There is a chain of adjacent regions from A to C alternately coloured red and green.
(ii) There is a chain of adjacent regions from A to C alternately coloured red and green.
If (ii) holds then there can be no chain of yellow/blue adjacent regions from B to D. [It could not cross the chain of red/green regions.] Hence property (i) holds for B and D and we change colours as above.
Kempe received great acclaim for his proof. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and served as its treasurer for many years. He was knighted in 1912. He published two improved versions of his proof, the second in 1880 aroused the interest of P G Tait, the Professor of Natural Philosophy at Edinburgh. Tait addressed the Royal Society of Edinburgh on the subject and published two papers on the (what we should now call) Four Colour Theorem. They contain some clever ideas and a number of basic errors.
The Four Colour Theorem returned to being the Four Colour Conjecture in 1890. Percy John Heawood, a lecturer at Durham England, published a paper called Map colouring theorem. In it he states that his aim is
rather destructive than constructive, for it will be shown that there is a defect in the now apparently recognised proof.Although Heawood showed that Kempe's proof was wrong he did prove that every map can be 5-coloured in this paper. Kempe reported the error to the London Mathematical Society himself and said he could not correct the mistake in his proof. In 1896 de la Vallée Poussin also pointed out the error in Kempe's paper, apparently unaware of Heawood's work.
Heawood was to work throughout his life on map colouring, work which spanned nearly 60 years. He successfully investigated the number of colours needed for maps on other surfaces and gave what is known as the Heawood estimate for the necessary number in terms of the Euler characteristic of the surface.
Heawood's other claim to fame is raising money to restore Durham Castle as Secretary of the Durham Castle Restoration Fund. For his perseverance in raising the money to save the Castle from sliding down the hill on which it stands Heawood received the O.B.E.
Heawood was to make further contributions to the Four Colour Conjecture. In 1898 he proved that if the number of edges around each region is divisible by 3 then the regions are 4-colourable. He then wrote many papers generalising this result.
To understand the later work we need to define some concepts.
Clearly a graph can be constructed from any map the regions being represented by the vertices and two vertices being joined by an edge if the regions corresponding to the vertices are adjacent. The resulting graph is planar, that is can be drawn in the plane without any edges crossing. The Four Colour Conjecture now asks if the vertices of the graph can be coloured with 4 colours so that no two adjacent vertices are the same colour.
From the graph a triangulation can be obtained by adding edges to divide any non-triangular face into triangles. A configuration is part of a triangulation contained within a circuit. An unavoidable set is a set of configurations with the property that any triangulation must contain one of the configurations in the set. A configuration is reducible if it cannot be contained in a triangulation of the smallest graph which cannot be 4-coloured.
The search for avoidable sets began in 1904 with work of Weinicke. Renewed interest in the USA was due to Veblen who published a paper in 1912 on the Four Colour Conjecture generalising Heawood's work. Further work by G D Birkhoff introduced the concept of reducibility (defined above) on which most later work rested.
Franklin in 1922 published further examples of unavoidable sets and used Birkhoff's idea of reducibility to prove, among other results, that any map with ≤ 25 regions can be 4-coloured. The number of regions which resulted in a 4-colourable map was slowly increased. Reynolds increased it to 27 in 1926, Winn to 35 in 1940, Ore and Stemple to 39 in 1970 and Mayer to 95 in 1976.
However the final ideas necessary for the solution of the Four Colour Conjecture had been introduced before these last two results. Heesch in 1969 introduced the method of discharging. This consists of assigning to a vertex of degree i the charge 6 - i. Now from Euler's formula we can deduce that the sum of the charges over all the vertices must be 12. A given set S of configurations can be proved unavoidable if for a triangulation T which does not contain a configuration in S we can redistribute the charges (without changing the total charge) so that no vertex ends up with a positive charge.
Heesch thought that the Four Colour Conjecture could be solved by considering a set of around 8900 configurations. There were difficulties with his approach since some of his configurations had a boundary of up to 18 edges and could not be tested for reducibility. The tests for reducibility used Kempe chain arguments but some configurations had obstacles to prevent reduction.
The year 1976 saw a complete solution to the Four Colour Conjecture when it was to become the Four Colour Theorem for the second, and last, time. The proof was achieved by Appel and Haken, basing their methods on reducibility using Kempe chains. They carried through the ideas of Heesch and eventually they constructed an unavoidable set with around 1500 configurations. They managed to keep the boundary ring size down to ≤ 14 making computations easier that for the Heesch case. There was a long period where they essentially used trial and error together with unbelievable intuition to modify their unavoidable set and their discharging procedure. Appel and Haken used 1200 hours of computer time to work through the details of the final proof. Koch assisted Appel and Haken with the computer calculations.
The Four Colour Theorem was the first major theorem to be proved using a computer, having a proof that could not be verified directly by other mathematicians. Despite some worries about this initially, independent verification soon convinced everyone that the Four Colour Theorem had finally been proved. Details of the proof appeared in two articles in 1977. Recent work has led to improvements in the algorithm.

Four different active ingredients with four different modes of action form a reliable dandruff defense system: the Alpecin Dandruff Killer Shampoo softens scalp irritation, eliminates dandruff and prevents the reformation of new dandruff. The 4-way active complex with zinc pyrithione and piroctone olamine are effective against fungi, yeasts and bacteria. This rejuvenates and restores the natural balance of the scalp and prevents new dandruff from forming. Salicylic acid and fumaric acid facilitate the removal of existing skin scales. This leads to a smoothed scalp surface, so that the microbial colonization is permanently reduced.
In addition, panthenol, allantoin and a sophisticated galenic formula have a stimulating effect and stabilize the resistance of the scalp. The anti-dandruff shampoo from Alpecin does not contain any silicones and provides for a noticeably thicker hair feel and grip. Made in Germany.
How to use:
Information for competitive athletes!
Alpecin caffeine can be detected in the hair follicles.
Keep out of reach of children. Use only as directed. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse with water. In the unlikely event of skin irritation, discontinue use.

It's been so long since I've sat down to write that it's hard to find a place to start. Periodically throughout my day stuff comes up in my head (memories) or happens and it feels so necessary to record it. It feels urgent, even. Then, when night falls I'm too tired to sit in front of the computer. As a person who needs to write to keep sane, this really sucks. However, I'm hanging in there and can say without having to write a book documenting the month of December, that this Christmas has been the absolute best Christmas of my entire life.
As Max is getting older this time of year is becoming so incredibly special. I didn't grow up in a big family and many of my childhood memories of Christmas are marred by my parent's fighting. Seems this time of year was very stressful for them – and understandably so. With their marriage slowly falling apart, financial struggles, and my mother's mental health on a steady decline the holidays were not a good time of year for me growing up. I always tried to pretend that I didn't feel the tension in the air or hear the late night shouting matches as I opened the gifts with a smile on my face and excitement in my voice, but I always knew what was going on. Kids know.
Having Max and Bella is giving me the opportunity to recreate the holidays and bring beautiful memories about for myself as well as my whole family (including my parents). It's quite exciting, really. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I can't believe how fucking lucky I am to have all that I do. And I'm not talking about owning property or a car. I'm talking about the amount of love that I feel in my life. I'm talking about having a great relationship with my husband. I'm talking about things like having a space to really be myself – whether I'm happy or sad, angry or excited. Sure, I'm thankful for all the "stuff" I have – no doubt about that – but mostly I'm thankful for my family and this life I've created.
Now that the holidays are almost over and my due date (January 27th) is quickly approaching I have gone into hyper-nesting mode. I've got so much to do before Bella gets here – stuff I've had on my "To Do" list for months – and I'm just now feeling like doing it all.
My To Do List:
Clean out under main bathroom sink. Put contact paper down there. Move items that are in the linen closet into that cabinet. Clean out linen closet. Move linens from Max & Bella's closet into linen closet. Organize Bella's clothes. Move Hal's clothes out of ugly dresser into closet baskets. Clean out ugly dresser. Call to have ugly dresser picked up and taken away.
- Clean area where ugly dresser once occupied.
Ask in-laws if they can buy us a dresser for the kids (I hate to do this but I know they would love to have the opportunity to help us out – we rarely ask them for anything. I can't even remember what the last thing we asked them for was -it has been that long)They said yes! Clean out crib Wash all crib linens.
- Purge some of Max's toys.
- Buy some shelves to hold/better organize the kid's toys.
- Clean out closet in master bedroom.
- Set up master bedroom's sink area as a changing area for Bella.
Buy new linens (ours are about 10 years old!). Buy storage cabinets for all of our media stuff that is now being stored in our bedroom closet. Purge books
A couple of these things Hal will have to help me with but for the most part… this is stuff that I have to do if I want it done. My energy level is picking up a little but I still can only do one or two things a day. I'm now waking up every 1-2 hours at night to pee – Bella must have moved down onto my bladder a little more. She is still in position to be born (head-down) so I'm very happy about that. I can tell she has gotten bigger, too, because her feet are now kicking a little higher than they were last month.

Cloudy Fate, Bright Future! (カロスの危機!巨大日時計の戦い!! A Kalos Crisis! Battle of the Giant Sundial!) is the 44th episode of Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest.
With the Pokémon Showcase a success for Serena, Ash and his friends continue their visit to Anistar City for Ash's next gym battle for Olympia. However, a woman apprentice starts to attack, thinking Ash, his friends and Professor Sycamore and his assistances, who are investigating more about Mega Evolution, are going to threat the sundial, until the misunderstanding was cleaned up. They all soon discover about Frogadier's past, and mysterous power from a vision and later come face to face with Team Rocket, who try to steal the sundial, and when all was soon fixed out, Ash gets ready for his gym battle. Can he win his next badge? And what is the mysterious power Frogadier will gain?
Episode Plot
In a certain place, some people are levitating and meditate with their Pokémon. A woman chants they should trust each other, with their hearts, under the guidance of the stars. A shooting star passes through the sky, making a woman, Olympia, become very upset. Olympia starts floating, as she is predicting a light and a crisis in Kalos, as well as the faces of those coming to Anistar City. She shows three faces: one of Ash and Pikachu, and the other of Prof. Sycamore. Elsewhere, Serena is admiring her second Princess Key and is counting on Eevee for support in next Showcase. Ash and Pikachu do not want to lag behind (scaring Eevee a bit) and the heroes head off to Anistar Gym, where psychic-type Pokémon are being used. A host on TV reports Prof. Sycamore will visit Anistar City, for the crystal sundial, supposedly originating from outer space, is reported to have connections to the Mega Evolution.
Team Rocket watches their foes and observes the sundial. James is fond of this crystal sundial, for it is about 3000 years old, coming from space. The people can know exactly which time it is because the sundial shines at different angles. Knowing it is valuable, Team Rocket plans on stealing the crystal sundial, even if it is quite large. At the sundial, Prof. Sycamore arrives with his assistants, who prepare the equipment. Suddenly, one of the people from the place of starts, demands Sycamore to leave, sending a Sigilyph. Sigilyph uses Psywave, attacking and damaging Sycamore's equipment. The heroes see the attack and go investigating. The woman demands Prof. Sycamore to leave and sees Ash. Remembering he is the one Olympia spoke of, the woman sends Sableye, who uses Power Gem. The heroes dodge, so Pikachu retaliates with Electro Ball, but misses Sigilyph. Ash sends Frogadier, who uses Water Pulse and hits Sableye. Sigilyph uses Psywave, hitting Pikachu.
Sableye uses Shadow Claw, hitting Frogadier, so Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, defeating Sigilyph. The woman calls Sigilyph back, displeased she is losing, ordering Sableye to use Power Gem. However, the attack is negated by Frogadier's Water Pulse and Sableye is defeated by Frogadier's Aerial Ace. The woman claims they have to leave Anistar City, even the Kalos region. She attempts to send out another Pokémon, but Olympia appears and takes her Poké Ball away. Everyone is surprised to see Olympia floating, who restrains the woman, Carrie, down, along with an another woman. Olympia shushes Carrie, for she interpreted Olympia's future vision wrong once more and acted overzealously. Carrie apologizes and kneels, while Sycamore knows Olympia as the Anistar City's Gym Leader. Ash is surprised, though Olympia confirms the title. The other woman is Charlene, who is Olympia's apprentice.
Carrie apologizes to the heroes and Prof. Sycamore for the trouble she caused. Olympia, however, explains she saw a disaster in near future. Carrie saw some of these faces and interpreted some of them were the enemies. Seeing Frogadier, Olympia has a vision of Frogadier becoming something different. They arrive to Olympia's Gym, where the heroes, along with Prof. Sycamore and his assistants, are amazed by the Gym's mystical layout. Serena and Bonnie wish Olympia to see their futures, but Charlene explains Olympia can sense future by being guided by the stars. Sycamore wonders about the threat in Hoenn and Charlene confirms Olympia did saw the great clash in Hoenn, but they were able to prepare countermeasures in time. Carrie asks Charlene can these people cause the disaster Olympia spoke of. Charlene reminds Carrie Olympia did not say they could be a threat, only that they are "inside the vortex of a crisis".
Olympia stares into Frogadier's past and tells Ash it has "a checkered fate", in past and future. Olympia claims Frogadier is a much different Pokémon than others, making Ash wonder about Frogadier. Olympia shows her vision - she shows Froakie's egg, as they need to know the past to sense the future. Ash asks Sycamore does he know about Frogadier's past, but Sycamore denies. After Froakie hatched, he watched the other Froakie playing, but was not interested in playing. Instead, Froakie trained hard - alone, but he wanted to achieve greatness. Due to his lonely nature, Froakie got into many quarrels. Froakie learned he cannot achieve greatness by training alone, for Froakie needed a trainer to guide him. Feelings changed Froakie, who got selected by some trainers as a starter Pokémon. However, Froakie was slightly stubborn, feeling something was missing from the trainers they chose Froakie as the starter Pokémon. Olympia cancels the vision, claiming Frogadier wanted love from his trainer.
Clemont remembers Froakie rejected many trainers. Ash sees Froakie chose him and is glad, for they can pursue their dream of becoming stronger together. Serena recalls Ash did mention one can find goal with their Pokémon together. Sycamore asks about Frogadier's future; Olympia claims it will gain more power. Ash thinks it means Greninja, but Olympia is uncertain, for it may exceed greatness nobody saw before. Sycamore thinks it may be Mega Evolution, for nobody saw Greninja Mega Evolve. The heroes are thrilled, while Ash wants to pursue this path with Frogadier, who accepts. To do that, they need the seventh badge - Ash challenges Olympia to a battle. Olympia accepts, but has another vision; the sundial is in danger. Olympia's male Meowstic uses Helping Hand to female Meowstic, who uses Future Sight, an attack which takes time to hit the target. The heroes go to the sundial, while Olympia senses the thieves of the sundial also have a great part in the vortex of the crisis.
The heroes come to the sundial and find Team Rocket, who release cuffs to pull out the sundial. Since it does not move, they activate their motors. Frogadier uses Water Pulse, hitting the balloon, which scratches the sundial's crystals. Meowstic's Future Sight hits Team Rocket, who blast off, not knowing who even attacked them. Olympia comes to the sundial, making Ash believe this is a worthy opponent to fight and to get the badge from. Olympia claims Ash has to come to "the ritual" and find a new potentials of humans and Pokémon.
- Olympia's Meowstic (male)
- Olympia's Meowstic (female)
- Ash's Greninja (Olympia's vision)
- "But we haven't stolen anything yet!" - Jessie
- "This doesn't help our reputation one bit!" - James
- "Worst chance I get, I'm gonna file a complaint!" - Meowth
- "As soon as I learn how to swim I'm coming back!" - Jessie
- "BUT WE'RE BLASTING OFF FOR NOW!" - Team Rocket
- "Pokémon Quiz:" Sableye (JP)
- "Who's that Pokémon?": Sableye (US)
- This episode aired in Canada earlier than the US.
- Similar to Brock in A Bite to Remember, James, dressed as Professor Oak gave a lecture to the audience with a background, similar to Professor Oak's. These lectures are only seen at the end of the Japanese version of the episodes.
- When Olympia was talking about the past of Frogadier, the remix version of the Celestial Tower music is used.

*but if they do, we're trained in release techniques!
On Tuesday afternoons we pack some drinks and snacks and head into the centre [of the centre], set up some goal posts under one of the bridges, (right in front of the Mayor's plush offices) and play hockey with the street kids.
Yesterday we had between 15 to 20 kids dropping by to hit a ball around for a couple of hours. Afterwards we share some cake and juice and - if circumstances allow - five minutes of what we believe in and why we are there.
Some kids come to kill time. Some to take a break from begging. Some just for a piece of cake. Sadly, I am now used to the sight of children (averaging 10-12 years old) taking breaks from the game to inhale some glue or smoke a cigarette. I wanted the initial shock of witnessing this - the kids often look no older than my nephews (their growth stunted by their mother's drug abuse while pregnant) - to remain, but how good the mind is at clothing such horrors with dull familiarity.
I enjoy just hanging out with the kids, chewing the fat and passing the time. Joyce, Alexander, Wanderley, Kennedy, Carol... do these names mean anything to anyone? Does anyone know their stories? Are they even on a Government register somewhere? A birth? A death?
Some of the kids have already lived in multiple shelters, some of the girls have already had children and abandoned them. Others have lived on the streets for years, the product of fragmented (and often abusive) families. One of the kids we spoke to yesterday evening had hit the street that very same day.
The most recent figures indicate that there are between seven and eight million street children in Brazil. Working in and around Anhangabaú (I still have difficulty pronouncing the indigenous name retained for the very core of the old city) - watching the kids in their little ad hoc gatherings - in few places is it more self-evident that sin begets sin. It goes a little like this: Child abuse/neglect at home → children leave home (families divided) → drug addiction on street → older children sell drugs to younger children → child prostitution (to fuel drug addiction) → paedophiles/other predators → children become pregnant/abort their own children → children born on street placed in care.
This is the context of my work here in São Paulo.
These are the children I am called to work with.
"If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered."

Hello Anonymous. I don't think we've been introduced.
The number I refer to is in the research article (from the University of Delaware) which is hyperlinked in the post. Their figures, not mine.
As to atention (sic) seeking, if you had even the slightest idea of my character or an inkling of the work I do here, you wouldn't be asking this question.

PREP SOCCER: Hayes takes over at AHS as area kickers begin practice
Jeff Hayes takes over at AHS as area schools begin practices
With first games just a couple weeks away, area high school girls soccer teams hit the fields this week for their first official practices of the preseason. At Alton High, the Redbirds are going through their paces under the eye of a familiar coach - in a new role.
Jeff Hayes, who's replacing Laura Ridolfi as the AHS head coach, said with about 60 girls competing for spots on one of three roasters, practice is off to a good start.
"I'm satisfied with the first couple days of training," Hayes said. "The girls are eager to get the season going and are committed to working hard
Hayes took over the head coaching position after Ridolfi stepped down after two seasons to pursue a position with the Scott Gallagher St. Louis Soccer Club. He had served as an assistant coach under Ridolfi.
"My role as head coach is much different than my role has been as assistant," Hayes said. "I've tried explaining that to the girls. They are beginning to understand that I'll be more demanding as a varsity coach."
The Redbirds will play their home games on the new soccer field completed last fall behind the school on Humbert Road. The facility has its own bleachers and scoreboard as well as a track surrounding it.
And while Hayes is no doubt happy with the thought of not having to play home games elsewhere, he's more concerned with the team that will be playing on that new field.
"We have our hands full, really," Hayes said. "The reality of the situation is that we were the only team to go winless in the (Southwestern) conference last year and we were the only team to have an overall losing record.
"We're going to be very young," Hayes said, " but we do have a core group of returning players to lead our team."
The Redbirds open the season with a solid test in the Nike Division of the Metro Cup Tournament.
"We'll play four games in six days," Hayes said. "That will test our depth early on."
Hayes, who played high school soccer at Granite City under legendary coach Gene Baker, has been coaching high school soccer since 2007. He was the head coach of the Granite City High boys team from 2010 through 2013. Last fall, he was the coach of the Collinsville High boys freshman team.
"I believe the (Alton) girls have always felt comfortable with me and feel at ease to say what is on their mind," Hayes said. "So the transition has been easy. But the real test will come when we face adversity throughout the season. They need to know that I have confidence in them; maybe more confidence that they have in themselves."
Coach Steve Mitchell enters the season knowing he'll have some big soccer shoes to fill with the departure of last year's seniors, including Telegraph Player of the Year Kate Sanfilippo, who is now at Northern Illinois University.
"Things look good," Mitchell said. "It's still way early, but I like what I see.
"We'll have to move some things around to fill what we lost from last year. If we stay healthy and focused, we should be in the hunt at the end."
Beginning his season season as the CM girls coach, Eric Zyung faces a season knowing that he has a decent mix of experienced and younger players.
"The first couple of days have gone well," Zyung sad. "We had 30 come out, which is a good number; a few more than last year, so we're starting to build.
"We have a great mixed of upper and underclassmen we have to replace six starters. we have three seniors on the roster, so the young players will have to step up. I've been happy with the young players. as long as they give maximum effort every time out and work hard, we can be successful."
The Eagles open the season March 15 at Roxana.
Coach Lori Yates greeted 30 players for her first practices. With that March 15 season opener with CM facing them, they'll be concentrating on building their backfield.
"We'll have to put some work into rebuilding our defense, since most of our seniors were our defensive line,including our goalie," Yates said. "We have only a few girls who play club soccer in the offseason, but have a good core of girls returning from last year."
At East Alton-Wood River, Oilers coach Matt Herndon returns all his starters from last season.
"I know basically what I have," said Henrdon, whose team opens the season March 17 at home against Greenville. "We have six solid seniors and our goalie returns after missing last season with ACL surgery.
"A solid club soccer player in freshman Kara Crutchley will help out a lot. We hope for bigger and better things."
Third-year coach Ashley Hayes welcomed 28 players to her first practices.
"It's good to get outside and practice," said Hayes, whose Cavaliers shared the South Central Conference championship with Litchfield and Pana last season. "Some of the girls have been training indoors during the off-season, but getting outside when we can is better. Nothing can take the place of live touches on the ball on a real soccer field.
"We have some key spots to fill from last season, but they're a hard-working group," she said. "It's good to have them thinking soccer."
Panthers coach Brad Kimble, who has 27 out for soccer, said he hopes for a more dynamic team with an offensive focus.
"Things are going very well for the first two days," Kimble said. "Our program is rebuilding its core philosophy and our approach to the game. we have only three seniors and about 10 juniors, so the potential for growth is definitely there."

HARPERS FERRY, W.Va. — A human skull was found Thursday morning off Job Corps Road in Jefferson County where a new elementary school is expected to open next year, according to police and school officials.
The skull was found by construction workers about 35 feet from Job Corps Road on what formerly was the Walker farm, according to Jefferson County Sheriff Robert "Bobby" Shirley and Board of Education President Peter H. "Pete" Dougherty.
Sheriff's deputies were called to the excavation site about a half-mile from W.Va. 230 near Sam Michael's Park about 11:45 a.m., Shirley said. An anthropologist arrived from Quantico, Va., Thursday evening to help search for additional human remains while police had the scene secure, Shirley said. County medical examiner Carole Spessert was assisting with the investigation, Shirley said.
The anthropologist was working with a sheriff's department investigator at the site, Shirley said.
"We're trying to locate more body parts, if possible," Shirley said.
The anthropologist will help determine whether the site should be further sifted through to look for remains, Shirley said.
Authorities discussed bringing cadaver dogs to the site but decided to wait until after the anthropologist investigates, Shirley said. Cadaver dogs are trained to follow the scent of decomposing human flesh.
The skull was intact and had upper teeth, but was missing the jaw bone, Shirley said. He said he did not know of any open missing persons cases in Jefferson County.
Officials have been unable to determine whether the skull was that of an adult or a child, Shirley said.
The area where the skull was found is in the "front yard" area of where the new school is to be built, Dougherty said.
There were no known burial sites on the 15-acre property, which was donated by the developers of Breckenridge subdivision, Dougherty said. The previous owners of the Walker farm have resided in the county for generations, Dougherty said.
School officials took part in a groundbreaking ceremony June 20 for the new school, which is being built for about 400 students, according to Dougherty.
Basic site preparation work has been completed and construction bids for the project came under budget for the project, which has been estimated to cost $10 million, Dougherty said. W. Harley Miller Contractors Inc. of Martinsburg is the general contractor, Dougherty said.
"We just approved the contractors on Monday," Dougherty said.
Anyone with information about the identification of the skull may call the Sheriff's Department at 304-728-3205.

Desperate Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders renewed yesterday their push for the removal of the five governors who dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The plan is to use the court to declare vacant their seat, The Nation learnt yesterday.
The governors are Rotimi Amaechi(Rivers), Murtala Nyako(Adamawa), Rabiu Kwankwaso(Kano), Aliyu Wammako(Sokoto) and Abdulfatai Ahmed(Kwara).
The hawks in PDP are said to be considering filing an ex-parte motion at any high court which will lead to a declaratory order asking the governors to leave office immediately.
But President Goodluck Jonathan is said to have asked the PDP leaders behind the plot to pull the brakes on it because of its likely consequences on the nation's political environment.
One of the lawyers engaged in filing the suit last night however said: "We have not yet filed any document in court.
"I think the President has not agreed with the PDP leaders who are pushing the matter. The President has asked them to stay action."
It was learnt that some PDP leaders were shocked by the threat which the defection last Tuesday might pose to the PDP's electoral fortunes.
They were said to have agreed on creating legal hurdles for the governors.
It was learnt that the party has already secured the services of a 10-man legal team, including Chief Alex Iziyon (SAN), who is more or less the counsel to the President; Phebian Ajogu (SAN), Austin Alegeh (SAN) and a Northern constitutional Lawyer.
A source said: "We learnt that the PDP is either considering filing a motion ex-parte or pushing for accelerated hearing of its application.
"But some leaders of the party are in favour of a motion ex-parte. Once the application is granted, the five governors will be asked to vacate office immediately or be ejected from office.
"In fact, the PDP is banking on the invocation of Section 221 of the 1999 Constitution to support its application. This Section was invoked by the Supreme Court to declare Amaechi as the Governor of Rivers State.
"The party is claiming that the governorship tickets of the five governors belong to the PDP and not the occupants.
"Also, we learnt that the party might apply the principle of 'Case Stated' to compel a Federal High Court to ask for interpretations of Section 221 from the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court to seal the fate of the governors at the lower court."
As at press time, a meeting of the APC governors was being convened at Kano Governor's Lodge in Asokoro District, Abuja.
The session, expected to be closed door from 9pm, might go far into the night.
One of the APC governors , who spoke in confidence, said: "This is our first meeting after five PDP governors joined the progressives club. We are going to chart the way forward for the party to make the merger of the New PDP and the APC to work.
"We will also take time to discuss issues affecting our governors, including plans by the PDP to declare the seats of the five governors vacant.
"The PDP is capable of any mischief; we are also going to put our legal team on standby."
The National Chairman of the merged New PDP, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, said: "There is no law backing the declaration of a governor's seat vacant.
"Why are they just talking now when some PDP governors have joined the APC? I was the one who received ex-Governor Ikedi Ohakim when he defected from PPA to PDP. Was Ohakim's seat declared vacant? Wasn't Governor Isa Yuguda in ANPP before joining PDP? What of Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State who defected to PDP from PPA. Did all these governors vacate their seats?
"This is not the first time the PDP has tried to declare the seats of our members vacant. Some of our members in the National Assembly have actually sued Bamanga Tukur."
Another leader said the conditions for removing governors are contained in Sections 188 and 189 of the 1999 Constitution.
Section 188 reads in part: "A governor can be removed by reason of death, resignation, impeachment, permanent incapacity or removal in accordance with Section 188 or 189 of this Constitution."
Section 188 says in part: "The Governor or Deputy Governor of a State may be removed from office in accordance with the provisions of this section.
"Whenever a notice of any allegation in writing signed by not less than one-third member of the members of the House of Assembly is (a) presented to the Speaker of the House of Assembly of the State; (b) stating the holder of such office is guilty of gross misconduct in the performance of the functions of his office, detailed particulars of which shall be specified.
Section 189 says in part: "The Governor or Deputy Governor of a State shall cease to hold office if (a) by a resolution passed by two-thirds majority of all members of the Executive Council of the state, it is declared that the Governor or Deputy Governor is incapable of discharging the functions of his office; and (b) the declaration in paragraph (a) of this sub-section is verified, after such medical examination as may be necessary, by a medical panel established under subsection (4) of this section in its report to the Speaker of the House of Assembly."

Live Croupier Roulette Online
With the explosion of broadband connections it is now possible to have Live Roulette dealers. In the days of the 56K modem the speeds just weren't there to stream the images. Nowadays most casino rooms offer a live roulette table.
Some people prefer live roulette as they can actually see the wheel spinning. They see this is more fair that a computer generated random number. This assumption is false. Random numbers used in roulette and other online casino games are independently audited. Its in the interest of the casino operator and their software vendor to make sure the random number generator is truly random. If someone did work out how to predict the numbers then the casino would be in big trouble.
With the physical roulette wheel used on the live roulette tables probably do have a slight bias. Maintaining a roulette wheel is hard. You wouldn't be able to exploit this though as the bias would take too long to work out what the bias was. There is nothing to stop you trying a system like reverse Labouchere Betting System. Just don't expect to win in the long term.
If you want to play live croupie roulette then William Hill Live Vegas Casino is a great place to play. Their dealers are the sexiest on the internet! Plus get a ÂŁ25 bonus for signing up.

However, being prepared physically does not guarantee a smooth and successful hike because it overlooks the biggest challenge of any long distance hike: the mental aspect. Zach Davis, the author of Appalachian Trials, hiked the AT without any prior hiking experience, learning how to pitch a tent just two days prior to his departure, yet his mental preparation allowed him to finish the AT in 5 months. "Brian's Backpacking Blog" got an interview with the author to learn more about his experience hiking the trail and his new book. Check it out: Zach, what is the hardest part of a 2,181 mile backpacking trip? A common question I get from others usually is "how good of shape do I need to be to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail?" The answer to this question is undoubtedly "in amazing shape", however you don't need to go into the trail in amazing shape. When people think of backpacking from Georgia to Maine, they see an almost impossible physical challenge. The hardest part physically occurs only over the first few weeks. This is when your body is adapting to the rigors of daily full-day backpacking. Your joints are at high risk of injury. You will wake up and fall asleep sore. That's what happens when you strap thirty pounds to your back and start climbing mountains. That said, after this initial period, your body begins to adapt. Soreness will still happen, albeit far less frequently, but fatigue stops being so much of an issue. At a certain point (approximately the 3-4 week mark) the trail's challenges shift from being physical to mental. Most hikers can get through the initial period because the excitement of living outdoors drowns out the pain. However, once your body adapts, a hiker's mind tends to lose strength. Most prepare themselves for the physical fight, and end up losing the mental battle and thus their own brain gets the best of them. You recently wrote a book about thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, called Appalachian Trials. Can you tell us a little bit about that, and your inspiration behind writing it and the early feedback? To elaborate on the above point, most hikers go into the AT readying themselves for a physical challenge unlike no other. Additionally, they get intimidated with the logistics of living outdoors for a half year. "How many resupply boxes should I send? Where should I send them? What maps do I need to buy? What's the best sleeping bag?" These types of questions are typically what dominate hikers' minds before embarking on their thru-hike. These are the sorts of questions I was asking before leaving, until I was put in touch with another successful thru-hiker, Ian Mangiardi (creator TheDustyCamel.org), who completely changed my approach to the trail. He was blunt. He told me that I'd have access to food every 3-5 days, I wouldn't ever need a maildrop, that the hiking eventually becomes easy, and that my concerns should focus on the mental aspect of living outside for a half year. From that point forward, I spent ample time answering one simple yet important question: "why am I hiking the trail?" I knew there would come a point during my hike, when the trail began presenting these mental obstacles, where I would ask myself this very question. So, I created a series of lists focusing on giving compelling answers (I provide my lists in Appalachian Trials as well as templates for creating your own), carried them with me, and reviewed them whenever I felt my spirits starting to dip. Additionally, I intentionally re-shifted how I would approach the challenging times on the trail. Instead of getting frustrated or trying to fight through these stretches, I viewed them as opportunities for personal growth. These sorts of techniques what were occupied my time instead of the traditional AT research. I knew it was a gamble, but it was the only approach that made sense for me. Because I went into the trail with literally no backpacking experience- I learned how to pitch a tent only two days before leaving (I wish that were a joke) - I knew my unorthodox approach would either be a Hindenburg type failure or an eye-opening revelation about thru-hiking the AT. Thankfully, it turned out pretty well. Not only did I finish the trail, I was able to keep a smile on my face when others were struggling, even after I contracted West Nile Virus (from which I still battle the symptoms today). Upon finishing the trail, I wanted to read other books that confronted the psychological component of the Trail. There were none. To me, that was insane. There are a plethora of how-to books regarding the AT, and NONE OF THEM DEAL WITH THE MOST CHALLENGING PART OF ASPECT OF THE TRAIL (sorry for the caps, but that was how strongly I felt about it). So, I wrote the book myself. Appalachian Trials is the first Appalachian Trail book to tackle the psychological and emotional part of the AT. The feedback thus far has been amazing. The book has been out for only a few weeks and I've been bombarded with e-mails from aspiring hikers thanking me, saying they now feel better prepared and that they have much clearer expectations for the AT. Their feedback makes me feel good- to make a difference in someone's life, no matter how big or small. What would you have done differently? I would have moved slower through the Whites and Southern Maine. I somehow convinced myself that once I reached The Whites, I was on the home stretch. Roughly translated, I could push myself for the remainder of the hike because I had an ocean of "zeros" (days off) waiting for me on the other end of the trail. This failed me for two reasons: This is the most beautiful section of the trail, hands down. The views from above ridge-line in The Whites and southern Maine are nothing short of breathtaking. You'll bust your ass for an hour, look up, and all of a sudden are sitting on top of the world with 360 degree views of untouched, tree covered landscape carved out only by dark blue lakes. This section really is the climax of the trail. By pushing myself, I was constantly battling exhaustion, and not fully capable of being present during this unparalleled portion. The three hundred mile stretch starting at the Whites extending into mid-Maine is tough as shit (pardon my French). AT hikers go into this with an inflated hiking ego (for good reason, we've already covered 1,700 miles at this point). Unfortunately ego isn't enough. The climbs are unlike anything we've seen to this point. They are steeper, extend much further, and are a lot more technical. Because of this, you're using a completely different set of muscles. This results in getting worn down much faster than we're accustomed to. By the time I had made it to the beginning of the 100-mile Wilderness, my legs were jello. I was pushing myself to my limit almost every day, and because of this, the next daywas always much more of a challenge. Although the common wisdom is to "slow down in The Whites", I never received advice on why. I learned this the hard way. What was your most memorable part of your AT thru-hike looking back? Although there were many individual moments that I look back on with great admiration (canoeing in the Shenandoah River, night hiking under a bright full-moon, tenting on numerous mountain sides), the thing I will miss most about the AT is the freedom. There are no schedules. There is no regimen. You wake up without aid of an alarm. You walk when you want to walk. Eat when you want to eat. Break when you want to break. Sleep when you want to sleep. It's complete freedom and liberating beyond belief. Although I try to live this as much as possible in my post-AT life, no person can really be as free as they are on the AT. Would you do it all over again? This could be interpreted two different ways. If you mean, will I ever go on a half year backpacking trip again, the answer is no. I did it mostly to test myself, to try something new, and to gain a new perspective. I'm happy with the outcome. With that said, a half year backpacking trip isn't easy. I wouldn't prove anything to myself by hiking the AT again. I would, however, do other long backpacking trips, just not six months. I'm actually considering hiking El Camino de Santiago in the next year or two. That sounds more my speed. If the question means, knowing what I know now about the AT, would I still have gone back and originally hiked it, then my answer is a 150% absolute yes. I am a better person for my experience. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. The memories I have from my time on the trail are something that I will cherish until my death. What was the biggest thing you learned or gained from Hiking the AT? Life is short. Too many people live for some invisible promise of a better future when they retire. This premise is flawed. By the time many people have enough money stored away for retirement, they're too old to actually enjoy it. A retiree vacation involves driving to many of the spots I was hiking through, taking 30 minutes to snap pictures while wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, getting back into the car, and driving to the local Italian restaurant. That's not a bad day, but that's not something that I'll look back with pride sitting in my rocking chair in before dying days. Do whatever it takes to fulfill your life. That's the only way to live. Side note: I encountered many retirees on the AT. These were 60+ year old guys and ladies who were keeping up with all the youngsters and enjoying themselves every bit, if not more, along the way. I tip my hat to these folks because I sincerely doubt I will be physically capable of a 2,200 mile backpacking trip when I reach their age. If you're as badass as these individuals, disregard the above paragraph. You are a better person than me! What was your favorite gear item you took? For purely novel purposes, my Innate Mentor Storage Sacs. Not only do they work really well, but they're the only sacs on the trail with an air compression valve (at least that I saw). When releasing excess air from your sac, it pretty closely resembles the sound of flatulence (there's really no other way to describe it). When putting your food or clothes away at the end of the night, and other hikers hear this sound, it's makes for an excellent conversation starter. In terms of practicality, I know this isn't exactly a popular outdoors answer, but my iPhone. It was just so damn versatile. It was my camera, my journal, and my mp3 player. Off the trail, when other hikers are fighting over the one computer at the hostel, I can send e-mails to friends and family without getting off the couch. It's essentially the electronic version of a multi-tool. All of the pictures from my AT video slide-show were taken with my iPhone. What gear item did you end up needing the most? Aside from the backpack itself, my Eureka Casper 15 degree bag. There were a few pretty damn cold days in the beginning of the trail. One night it got down to 14 degrees. I dubbed my sleeping bag the "anti-hypothermia zone". Waking up to pee in the middle of the night and getting out of my sleeping bag to do this was one of the hardest things I did the entire trail. There were some who had only a 30 degree bag. I think that's pushing it. I'm glad that I had the extra warmth. With that said, the bag is a little on the heavier side. I exchanged it out for a lighter Deuter bag starting in mid-May and got my Casper back before going into the Whites. What gear item did you end up not needing at all? Gaiters. Although a lot of people used them a lot, the feedback was mixed. I sent mine home within the first week. They seem to do a better job at keeping pebbles out of shoes/boots than in keeping your foot dry. If anything, it doesn't allow heat to escape, causing more perspiration (which I already do in Costco size portions) . A moist foot is a breeding ground for blisters. For me, it's not worth carrying the extra weight (although they're pretty light), it's easier to take the 12 seconds required to take your shoe off or just wait it out until your next break point. Otherwise, most of the items in my first aid kit never ended up getting used. Although I wouldn't recommend not carrying a first aid kit, I would suggest to not go overboard in what you bring. If an injury is severe, get off the trail. A Band-Aid isn't going to do much. Did you use postal drops and if so how did you arrange all of that? I did. Most of the packages were sent from my parents, although I purchased most of the contents inside them before leaving. I also gave my friends Chris and Jeff some money before leaving as a fund to send me anything that I might need along the way. From there, I just scouted out a post office or hostel 150 miles or so ahead of where I was to have the box sent to and texted them the next time I had service. A lot of people have a strict maildrop itinerary setup before they leave. For me, this would have been more of a headache than anything else. Having to stop in to a town when you still have enough supplies to get to the next is a bit frustrating and conflicts with my favorite aspect of the trail, not having any schedule. To any aspiring thru-hikers reading this- don't stress maildrops. It's unnecessary. If there's a post office, a grocery store is not far off. Oftentimes, the grocery store is easier to get to than the PO. Don't add hassle to a lifestyle that doesn't require it. - ZD Zach Davis is an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker, founder of the Good Badger, author of Appalachian Trials, and technology blogger at Tech Cocktail.

Last Week
54 miles, 3929 ft, 08:03:55
Almost all on roads because family commitments last weekend precluded any long outings to any hills. My Dad has been down staying with us and we went down to my brother's at the weekend to celebrate a joint 18th/21st/50th 'birthday'. Back to the track on Tuesday and a Hill Session last night just to make sure it wasn't too easy a week.
Next Week
We are off to Barcelona for a few days then Braemar to bag some easterly Munros (and avoid midges, we hope) and back for Coope's Dozen, Borrowdale and a second attempt on August 30th. This is a bit of a mid-season break, a chance to rest and enjoy some Spanish sunshine and Scottish hills before a couple of weeks to complete the final preparations for another long day out. This break is really very welcome because it is a long stretch from mid-Winter to late August to stay injury-free and motivated. Retiring in June was the right decision and retiring early meant I didn't need long to recover physically. Now, having sorted my food and drink, I really just wanted to have another go immediately but it couldn't be arranged so to have a couple of weeks away from will mean I will come back refreshed and ready for the final countdown

At first, I thought my clouded vision meant that I needed new glasses. Or maybe my eyesight was blurred because of a recent eye infection. It was difficult to drive at night. As early as I can remember I was one of those kids who went to bed with a book under the covers with a flashlight. So when I began to find it tough to read and also to write (such as this) I was worried.
Isn't that how it goes? Slowly, bit by bit, we may not notice how basics like seeing become impaired. We excuse it. Or ignore it. Until we can't.
At that point, my (wonderful) ophthalmologist Dr. Daniel Kline in Irvine examined my eyes and told me it was clear as day (to him) that I had cataracts in both eyes.
And they could be fixed ("wonder of wonder, miracle of miracles!")
As I prepared for my surgery, I began to think about vision in all ways. What is right in front of me that I'm not recognizing? Where have I put veils on my own eyes?
It's an important question because when we really open our eyes to the reality before us, we might have to act. If we don't want to take the necessary action, we may not want to claim what we see. Hence, we put our blinders on.
For example, if you truly saw our own power, what would you feel compelled to do? Would you feel encouraged to take risks? Or is it more comfortable to not see who you truly are meant to be, so you keep your vision clouded?
Or, if you opened our eyes and recognized that you've been in a toxic relationship, wouldn't you then want to take steps to extricate yourself? Not so easy.
Sometimes when the screen lifts, you can never again "not see what you see." But other times, you decide to put the shades back down.
I decided to declare 2018 the Year of New Vision. It's my kavannah/intention to explore the many dimensions of clear sight – the positive and negative. I intend to search out texts, poetry and music about Seeing Clearly throughout the year, and weave them into my work. (Speaking of work, I warmly invite you to become a member of Hineni, our Jewish Mindfulness community – more info at the link – or check out my upcoming events.)
The night before my cataract surgery, my friend Devon Spier, who is a rabbinic student (also a poet and writer and beautiful soul) and I spontaneously wrote a poem/meditation together called New Vision.
It was like a dance, an unexpected delight to co-create on the eve of getting "new sight."
New Vision: A Meditation for the New Year
by Devon Spier and Jill Zimmerman
What does it mean to "see clearly?"
To see with head and heart.
To see what's underneath.
To gaze up at a new horizon.
To see what would be healing.
To see new possibilities.
And to see what we must do and not do.
To see the dead ends.
To see the world as it could be.
And to see the world as it is.
But always to open our eyes and with the strength of our sight, see our self and every day anew.
To see the pathway even though we step with uncertainty.
To see the deep power each of us holds and trusting the expanse of the universe to hold us just as we are.
Wishing you a year of health and gratitude for what you already have –
Rabbi Jill Zimmerman
PS, I made a Spotify "surgery" playlist, which I'm happy to share with any of you who would like the link. It's way longer than the surgery I had, and it's filled with songs of healing and beauty. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
