Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Graham Jarvis has won the Red Bull Minas Riders hard enduro in Brazil calling it a bittersweet victory.
With the four-day event cut short after day two due to environmental concerns beyond the event organisers' control, Jarvis was declared the winner having ended day two as the overall leader.
"It's great to come away with the win here in Brazil but it is a bittersweet victory due to the race being cut short by two days," told Jarvis.
"It was a situation that arose beyond the event organisers' control and it's disappointing for them and the sport for this to happen. They do an excellent job and I want to thank them for all their hard work, which often goes unappreciated."
Marking the opening round of the Hard Enduro World Series, Jarvis entered the second edition of the Brazilian race determined to start things off with a victory.
Ending a rain-soaked prologue as runner-up, he then went on the attack when the race entered the mountains for the first off-road day.
"The first two days of the race were awesome," continued Jarvis. "The conditions were tough, made harder by the weather but trails were fantastic. I was enjoying the fight with Cody too.
"We rode together quite a lot and I could feel that battle was going to continue right until the chequered flag. We were pushing each other a lot, at times I had an advantage and at other times he did. Day one was probably where I ultimately got the event won."

Pushing hard throughout the five-hour plus day of hard enduro racing, the Husqvarna rider claimed a three-minute margin of victory to establish an early lead.
"I attacked hard from the beginning because last year I lost too much time on the opening day and didn't want to let that happen again. I won the day by three minutes and then was able to maintain that on day two."
Maintaining his position at the head of the field with second on day one, Jarvis was holding a two-minute buffer over his nearest rival Cody Webb as the race entered its second half.
But with days three and four cancelled, Jarvis unexpectedly found himself as the early winner of the race.
"It's been good to end the opening round of the Hard Enduro World Series with a win and I'm now looking forward to bringing that winning momentum to the ErzbergRodeo next month."
With victory in Brazil, the Husqvarna rider now looks to add win number two to his tally at the second round of the series at Austria's ErzbergRodeo in June.
Results — Red Bull Minas Riders final classification
1. Graham Jarvis (Husqvarna) 5:46:47
2. Cody Webb (KTM) 5:49:29

?Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has named ex-Chelsea star Didier Drogba as the toughest opponent he has had to face in his career so far.
The Ivorian powerhouse was arguably the most feared striker in the Premier League when Smalling was trying to establish himself at Old Trafford after making the move from Fulham in 2010.
Having played non-league football for Maidstone United only a couple of years earlier, it was going head to head with players like Drogba that gave Smalling the confidence and belief that he could make it at the highest level after this monumental rise from obscurity.
"It was quite early in my career that he was in his prime," the 27-year-old explained in an official Premier League video published on social media this week.
"He was difficult because I think he is someone who ticks every box. He strong, he was quick at the time, and you knew he only needed one chance [to score].
"I think he was the biggest threat that I've faced, especially early in my career, it was even more tough. It was great to test myself against him. I really enjoyed it and it gave that feeling that I belong at this sort of level."
Having been United's best defender and among the top centre-backs in the Premier League in 2015/16, Smalling has returned to the line-up in recent weeks after patchy form during manager Jose Mourinho's first season in charge.
He captained the team against Swansea in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night and could well start against Tottenham on Saturday if Eric Bailly fails to overcome a minor injury.

someone like use unicode as name also, eg, no-english language user like use own native language ,
I try to open the ability but not sure if is possible for django
someone like use unicode as name also, eg, no-english language user like use own native language ,
I try to open the ability but not sure if is possible for django
In Django username may be anything, but in Misago usernames are more alike to Twitter handles. They are purposefully simple so its simple for other users to memorize and type them, and for our username handling logic to be simple as well.
If you want to let users use their own native language, you should instead focus on exposing real names in the UI. Foundations for this have been introduced in Misago 0.18 in form of
user.get_real_name() in python and django templates, and
user.real_name in JavaScript.
thanks for reply... just maybe user like use own way or language ... I have try to do this feature but face a problem, I modify the validators.py that allow input unicode string , it is ok but failed while load the user profile link, I guess need modify the url pattern ?
it report error like:
NoReverseMatch at /console/users/accounts/
Reverse for 'user' with keyword arguments '{'pk': 20, 'slug': 'wang-bu-san'}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['u/(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]+)/(?P<pk>\d+)/$']
seem it not support link 'Jenitfy-Alphbet' like this , but I see the link of Thread can do this way, can you give me some tip ? many thanks for your guide
just maybe user like use own way or language
If you feel that creating fork of Misago is right way to cater for your users preferences, you are free too do it. Just keep on mind that general wisdom for how this issue should be handled dictates the opposite of your approach.
I have try to do this feature
You will have to modify every place in Misago that deals with usernames. This means username validation in python and javascript, urls, creating private threads and message editor.
This is very similiar to what was already discussed here.

Review of free Android apps on Google Play: Music paradise MP3 player and others
By William Power, 24th Oct 2013 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed
Posted in WikinutReviewsTechnologyMobile Phones
Review of several free Android apps. App reviews on the market or Google Play are sometimes skewed and bias. This is a `personal use' review by the author.
- Free Android apps and Google play
- Android Bible apps
- Android apps: eReaders
- Android apps: Music Paradise MP3 player
Free Android apps and Google play
The Android app market is endless in terms of choice, variety, and technology that help to make your life more convenient and enjoyable. There are millions of Android apps on Google Play, far too many to describe here; however, this article will focus on several apps that I have personally used, and like. For example, one of my favorite pastimes is listening to music. Finding a great music app can often be difficult in terms of choice because there are numerous apps available. One problem is that app developers often pay for reviews, so good reviews can be fallacious.
Android Bible apps
I have tried several Bibles apps on the Android market and have downloaded several for a day or so—trying each one out to find the best one. In the final analysis, the best free Android app in the category of Bible apps is "YouVersion." This Bible app has many features that are user-friendly and convenient to help readers in their daily walk with Christ. It has a great assortment of Bible studies, daily meditations, prayers, and daily devotionals or study guides. This Bible app allows you to set the translation you favor. It has a section for keeping notes, bookmarks, sharing on social sites, live chat, and website support. If you`re looking for a free Android Bible app, then YouVersion is the one that I recommend as the best on the Android app market and Google Play.
Android apps: eReaders
The eBook market is in full bloom and continues to grow. I was in a Best Buy store the other day looking for a new laptop and the entire department was remodeled to accommodate the selection of "eReaders." Folks, this is the way of the future. I know, I will always want to hold a traditional printed book in my hands on occasion as well, but eBooks are a wonderful new technology. One of the eReader apps that I found free—that has amazing features and a great selection of free eBooks—is "Aldiko." This free Android app on Google Play has some features that even "Amazon Kindle" doesn`t have. This app has great graphics, a bookshelf style library for your personal downloads, and it has a store for purchasing books as well. Aldiko has all the great bookmarking features—day and night reading—and it will save to your SD card. One final note: If the reader holds his/her finger on any word the app will give a definition, from either the dictionary or a Google search,—Amazon Kindle does not have this feature without a large download of an additional application.
Android apps: Music Paradise MP3 player
This is a real personal area for most consumers—music! I know everyone thinks their personal music app is the best and I am no different except I`ve tried several and this one truly has the best features. My personal favorite Android music app is "Music Paradise." It`s a free Android app on Google Play and it allows free MP3 downloads, with minimal ads. I like this app because it has great graphics, which technically does not matter, but makes for a more pleasant experience. In addition, I have yet to put a song, or band, in the search engine and not find it; my searches included songs from the sixties, seventies, and of course (my generation) the eighties. You can set your favorite songs as a ringtone, share them on social sites, archive them on the app, and they save (automatically) on your Android phone`s music player. This really is an awesome app for finding free MP3`s. Who needs Apple and iTunes?

CARLSBAD, Calif. — Dejen Gebremeskel of Ethiopia has won the men's championship at the Carlsbad 5000 for the second year in a row, tying for the fourth-fastest time ever on the roads in 13 minutes, 11 seconds.
Fellow Ethiopian Tirunesh Dibaba regained the women's title she won in 2005, finishing in 15:01. The 2008 Olympic champion at 5,000 and 10,000 meters, Dibaba ran away from the field over the closing stages and won by 12 seconds over Werknesh Kidane of Ethiopia.
The top four men's finishers Sunday were among the top 10 all-time at Carlsbad. Runner-up Hagos Gebrhiwet, a 17-year-old from Ethiopia, finished in 13:14, followed by Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya, the 2010 winner and 2011 second-placer, also in 13:14, and Tariku Bekele of Ethiopia in 13:16.
It was the first time four runners eclipsed 13:17 in the same 5K road race.

Each summer, Henry's Place will partner with Las Vegas area faith-based and secular community groups to identify approximately 500 at-risk youth, will provide them week-long camp experiences in beautiful Southern Utah, and then will aggressively encourage follow-up with mentoring organizations in their home communities (e.g. local churches, Boys and Girls Clubs).
Click on the graphic below to see our plan for Henry's Place.
Henry's Place will be much more than just a "fun summer camp". Our goal is to provide life-changing experiences, instruction, and opportunities to at-risk and underprivileged children and youth — experiences that will equip them to succeed in facing the challenges of growing up in the inner-city. Most importantly, Henry's Place will encourage youth to place their faith in Jesus Christ and to turn to faith as an answer to the challenges that their life circumstances present.
Through generous donations, we already have the land for Henry's Place and have graded the property, installed utility infrastructure, prepared a parking lot and driveway, and constructed an amphitheater, obstacle course, and maintenance/shop building. Now is the time to start building so that we can start a full camp program by the summer of 2020!
Henry's Place will accommodate youth summer camp through a lodge with a first-rate dining hall, a pavilion with full technical audio/visual support, an outdoor amphitheater, 6 cabins, a chapel, and exciting recreation facilities (swimming pool, ropes course, sports field, basketball court).
A livestock/equestrian facility and a greenhouse will provide unique opportunities for campers to gain practical experience about God's creation as they interact with plants and animals. Henry's Place will also utilize adjoining public lands to provide additional hiking and nature activities.
Support facilities will include housing for staff members in addition to 4 RV pads for staff or volunteers and a maintenance/storage facility.
Visit the Our Needs page to learn how you can help make Henry's dream become a reality.

Chop Chop Slicer is the latest in the long running series from Gamerizon, and seems to be the official continuation of the recent Chop Chop Rocket. The game takes a familiar mechanic and presents it in an interesting new way; all while sporting colorful and impressive visuals.
The game puts you in the space boots of the pilot from Chop Chop Rocket after he crash lands on a planet. He is immediately bombarded with asteroids and strange alien creatures. You must slice your enemies into pieces before they reach you and ruin your day even more.
The game takes the famous slicing mechanic of Fruit Ninja and builds upon it. In this app, the accuracy of your slices is the name of the game. It isn't enough to cut enemies, but you have to cut them with precision, staying as close to a 50-50 split as possible. These targets aren't just moving up and down though. They are also moving forwards and backwards while twisting and tuning.
In Arcade mode your main goal is just to survive and progress, and rapid aimless slicing to save your life won't be penalized, unless you hit one of those dumb pink octopus things. You do, however, get a bigger and bigger bonus for each consecutive perfect slice. In Perfect Slicing mode, the only thing that matters is cutting right down the middle as often as possible. The final mode is simply a time attack in which you have to get as many points as possible in a minute.
I commend these developers for expanding on a popular mechanic rather than just making another simple clone. They put some effort into the game and it shows. The graphics are stylized and even rather impressive when dozens of foes are falling apart on screen. The game throws in Facebook, Twitter, and OpenFeint support to sweeten the deal even more. This app will cost you one dollar. Check it out.

The Who: Who's Better, Who's Best: This Is The Very Best Of The Who CD Track Listing
The Who
Who's Better, Who's Best: This Is The Very Best Of The Who (1988)
Who's Better, Who's Best: This Is The Very Best Of The Who\n1988 MCA Records, Inc.\n\nOriginally Released November 14, 1988\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Who's Better, Who's Best is a compilation of the Who's best-known songs, containing all of the familiar items -- "I Can't Explain," "I Can See for Miles," "Pinball Wizard," "My Generation," "Substitute" -- but presented without much care. The album is further plagued by the presence of some filler tracks that really don't deserve to be on any best-of. Who's Better, Who's Best is, however, in its finer moments, a decent compilation. Indeed, the first half of this 1988 release collects nine of the most interesting rock tracks ever. Unfortunately, the compilation falters as it comes to a close. A more forthright compilation is perhaps a better option for most (Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy springs to mind). Nevertheless, Who's Better, Who's Best is a solid career overview and is useful for both casual and hardcore fans. -- Ben Davies\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nLet Us Compare Anthologies, May 24, 2006 \nBy Blake Maddux (Cambridge, MA United States)\n\nThe Who's catalog is flooded with compilations, to the point that one has to wonder how it is worth anyone's time and money for most of them to even exist. While compiling the actual best songs by Townshend and Co. would be almost impossible, putting together their biggest hits along with a few treat tracks should be less of a chore. For the frugal compilation seeker, it comes down to four choices among the dozens: Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy, Who's Better Who's Best, My Generation: The Very Best of The Who, and the 2-disc The Ultimate Collection. So to paraphrase the title of Leonard Cohen's first book, let us compare anthologies. \n\nMany purists would argue that Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy - the first Who collection - is the best. It is difficult to disagree with this assessment. Released in between Tommy and Who's Next, there is really nothing missing that one could reasonably hope for from a single disc. All of the big hits from "I Can't Explain" to "Pinball Wizard" are there, as are two nice bonuses: the smaller hit "A Legal Matter", and John Entwistle's awesome non-hit "Boris the Spider", both of which make this anthology of their early years all the more enjoyable and complete. The newcomer will be pleased to see all of the titles s/he recognizes - "My Generation", "Substitute", "I Can See For Miles" - as well as several s/he may not - "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere", "I'm A Boy" - but by which s/he will be very impressed and pleasantly surprised. Furthermore, the timing of this release could not have been better. Who's Next, which came out later the same year, was to be a very different beast than its predecessors. And since Tommy had started to indicate a change in the band's sound already, the inclusion of "Pinball Wizard" makes this a perfect Janus-faced marker. As the first Who compilation, MBB&B is literally perfect, and a model for any greatest hits collection. \n\nNow, what about those folks whose first exposure to The Who was from "You Better, You Bet" on MTV, and who were always a bit more into songs like "Baba O'Reilly"? Well, we have two choices - Who's Better Who's Best and My Generation: The Very Best. Unfortunately, the former has been overlooked in favor of the latter, but the difference between the two discs is a matter of only a few songs. The Very Best scores some points with the inclusion of "Boris the Spider", and it also includes "The Seeker", which I personally can do without. So at this point, each disc has two songs that the other doesn't: WBWB has "I'm Free" and "See Me Feel Me", and The Very Best has "5:15" and the horribly vapid "Let's See Action". With this difference as the deal breaker, I think that WBWB is, well, better. \n\nBut both have certain imperfections. "Join Together", "Squeeze Box", and "Who Are You?", none of which are among The Who's best songs, are included on each of them. I suppose that they are included for the sake of completeness, but they could have been scraped to make room for "A Quick One (While He's Away)" and/or "Love Reign O'er Me" on both, and for "Boris the Spider" on WBWB. (Both are also missing "Behind Blue Eyes", and the WBWB version of "Won't Get Fooled Again" is inexplicably shortened in the middle. These are moot points: anyone with enough interest in The Who to buy a compilation should also own Who's Next, the parent album of both of these songs.) Still, I am glad that both have "You Better, You Bet", which finds the band embracing rock 'n roll elder statesmanship as well as "My Generation" found them embracing youth. \n\nFinally, there is the 2-disc set The Ultimate Collection. It seems like this would be the most obvious place for a newcomer to start, because it has the most songs on it (35, to be exact). But that might also be part of its problem. Stretching so many tracks over the course of 2 discs can dampen the impact of the individual songs. However, with the exception of "A Quick One", it includes all of the songs mentioned in this review, as well as "Call Me Lightning", "Bargain" and Entwistle's "My Wife" from Who's Next, "Long Live Rock", and the latter-day tracks "Sister Disco" and "Eminence Front". So for someone determined to have only a compilation in their library, The Ultimate Collection is the one to have. But s/he should not be surprised if his/her appetite is whetted enough that s/he goes out and buys several other Who CDs as well. \n\nAnd on that note, let me make it clear that no collection is sufficient as the only Who CD on one's shelves. The superb CD The Who Sell Out is represented only by "I Can See For Miles" on all four described above, and Tommy only by "Pinball Wizard" and "See Me Feel Me" (which doesn't actually appear in it's single form on that CD). Moreover, Live At Leeds lives up to its reputation as a seminal live recording, and it does have "A Quick One" on it. And if it isn't clear by now, every self-respecting rock fan should have Who's Next. So which compilation do I actually recommend? I have to vote against The Ultimate Collection, as it is simply overkill. The Very Best is weaker, for my tastes, than WBWB. Therefore, it comes down to WBWB or MBB&B. And my suggestion is, the envelope please...Who's Better Who's Best. It may be the neglected stepchild of the compilations, but it spans their entire career, contains missteps that are on the other comps anyway, and features 2 great songs that aren't on The Very Best or MBB&B. \n\nGet WBWB and Who's Next. Where you go from there is up to you. I recommend The Who Sell Out and Live At Leeds, which - even if you are leery of live albums - really is that great. (Then, of course, go to Tommy and Quadrophenia.) \n\n\nHalf.com Album Notes\nFull title: Who's Better, Who's Best - This Is The Very Best Of The Who.\n\nThe Who: Roger Daltrey (vocals); Pete Townshend (guitar, keyboards, vocals); John Entwistle (bass, brass, vocals); Keith Moon (drums, vocals); Kenney Jones (drums).\nProducers: Shel Talmey, Kit Lambert, The Who, Chris Stamp, Glyn Johns, Jon Astley, Bill Szymczyk, Pete Kameron.\n\nWHO'S BETTER, WHO'S BEST is a 25th Anniversary Special Release.

We started where we left off on the last GET exploration: the catwalk outside Glenwood, New Mexico.
This time we followed the recommended GET route, which starts above the catwalk, dropping in after the suspension bridge.
The Gold Dust Trail started with nicely cut trail and rideable grades.
It then contoured, technical at times, into the Whitewater drainage, with great views of the cliffs and catwalks below.
A difficult trail to jump into, fresh out of the car and on a loaded bike with recently adjusted suspension settings. But I was reveling in the challenge, and couldn't have been happier about embarking on another exploratory ride.
The weather was enough to give one pause. Weeks of high pressure ended today. The day before we left Tucson saw a sudden shift in the forecast, towards very unsettled air and cooler temps.
After a few hard switchbacks, we were deposited onto the Whitewater trail, a gateway to the Gila Wilderness. There was a great feel to starting our trip here, where many backpacks begin. Though it's not wilderness, it sure feels like it.
I savored every bit of lush and rocky trail.
Soon enough the wilderness boundary approached and it was time to climb out of the canyon on the Powerhouse trail. Great name for a trail, if I've ever heard one.
First a trail, then a quad track (though clearly signed as open to quads, someone has taken to placing boulders and tree limbs across the trail to dissuade them). Finally it turns to a steep 4×4 road.
I expected some hiking, but the upgraded contours on my GPS told me more about the trail ahead than I'm used to. The GPS was right, we rode most of the ~1500′ climb.
Soon we were catching air on forest road jumps, en route to "highway 78" and the nearly ghost town of Mogollon.
I think Mogollon awakens from its slumber on summer weekends, but it was quiet as a mouse this afternoon. From here the "highway" turns to dirt, and the forest service's disinformation officer served us quite a tale about the dangers that were ahead. It's only been open (due to snow) for a short time, and everyone she knew of had troubles getting through (flat tires for forest service trucks and state trooper cruisers). To top it off the road beyond Willow Creek had severe flood damage, and she doubted we could get through. It's hard for some people to think outside their vehicular minds.
For now we had some climbing to do. 3000 feet, to be exact. Snow appeared above 9000′, and the temperatures dropped as rain threatened. I enjoyed the climb and was comfortable in my exertion heated skin. The cold air was refreshing given that my last two trips had been "hot" ones.
The singletrack descent from Sandy's point looked tempting, and more singletrack awaited in Mineral Creek. Another day — we had very little daylight left and a precise goal for the day.
It took longer than expected to reach the actual descent to Willow Creek. After each short downhill we'd stop to pull more layers on. Finally I was wearing everything I brought and not very keen on the upcoming 1000′ descent.
The descent rolled on as small droplets formed in the air. There was an otherworldly quality to both the landscape and the air. Pine graveyards, a band of cerulean sky below darkening clouds. Raindrops evaporating on contact in the dusty, ashen ground. A plume of smoke trailing Lee's tire. And most of all, the cold bite of the wind.
I'll not soon forget that descent, and it was easy to lose myself in it. Though I was long past the point of losing feeling in extremities, I knew warmth was soon to come.
Lee had scored us a cabin for the night.
I think we were both holding our breaths as I searched for the key and Lee tried it in the door. Inside the woodstove turned 40 degrees into 70. As we pulled the bikes into the back room it started snowing.
We filtered creek water out of a pot, all from the comfort of the woodstove. It was quite the setup and we were quite fortunate to have the luxury of a roof overhead.
The day dawned with no snow accumulation, but subfreezing temps. We set about the north route, first following forest roads to meet the CDT southbound.
Indeed Gilita creek had flooded, taking most of the highly improved road with it. Ma nature has taken this canyon back for the time being, and not even the ATVs are getting through. On the bike it made for far more interesting and fun riding than your typical graded road.
A hawk sat on a tree screeching angrily at us as we passed. "We finally got this road shut down, what the hell are you doing here?!"
The sky began to clear, and sunlight was a welcome surprise.
After a random encounter with a payphone in the middle of nowhere, we met CDT thru-hiker Buck. His website is bucktrack.com and he's going for the whole enchilada, anticipating a finish date in October. (!) I know little of what it takes to be a successful thru-hiker, but Buck seemed to be as happy as any hiker I've ever met. Just pleased to be out there and without a complaint in the world.
Forest roads through Collins Park brought us onto the GDMBR route, though I could only vaguely remember having been there in 2004. So many maps and landscapes have entered into my mind since then. But the feeling was undoubtedly there. After meeting a southbound CDT section hiker from Germany, also as pleased as punch to be out there, we decided to take the more adventurous route, exploring "out of the way" bonus miles of CDT.
Our adventure on the CDT began at Ghost Lake–an appropriate name for both the lake and the accompanying trail. A CDT sign and two blazes were available to be followed, but there was no trail and soon we were making up our own route. Fun at first, but with steepening sideslope we reverted to hiking.
I enjoyed the route selection challenge (somewhat slower with two people), and each descent along the divide was full of grins. This is very friendly XC country, unlike anything in Arizona. We more or less followed the guidebook's description of where the route goes, and also stayed close to the GPS line taken from the guidebook's map. But we found very few blazes or markers, and the GPS waypoints were useless (it was obvious that they were not from a GPS, but simply coordinates plucked from a map, after-the-fact). The guidebook was from 2001 and rumors of new trailbuilding had given me some hope on improved conditions, but we found no 21st century trail all the way from Ghost Lake to Coyote Peak (and beyond). It was about the only thing the guidebook was right on — how much trail there was and wasn't.
free ridin' Lee
Information on this piece of CDT is so limited that there was only one way to find out for sure: see for ourselves. So I was quite happy to be "figuring" this piece of trail out. And none of it was distasteful at all, just slow. Mostly it was mental energy wasted following ghost trails and searching for tree blazes, wondering if some piece of sweet singletrack was just over the next ridge and being missed. We finally did find markers pointing back the way we had come, just off the 2-track to Divide Tank. They were about a half mile from the guidebook's GPS waypoint for that junction, and there was no trail going that way.
Divide Tank, a reliable source according to the guidebook, had only a tiny bit of mud in it. As promised, though, faint 1998 singletrack led away from it, beginning the climb of O-Bar-O mountain. Initial hiking led to rideable switchbacks, punctuated by mandatory "heart calming" rests. 180 BPM is easy to reach at 8500′ and on a loaded bike.

I was enjoying the climb, but Lee was mostly walking and slowly tiring. We were both happy to round the shoulder of an unnamed 9,245′ peak, at last descending towards Mesa Redondo Tank, which was holding water. Sharp rocks began to appear, forcing a sealant change for my front tire. The super juice / Stan's combo spit itself out a small hole. Replacement pure Stan's sealed things right away and we were back on the trail 10 minutes later.
Techy built trail contoured us around to a saddle above the tank. What followed was quite a shock – some of the best mountain biking I've seen in a while. Faintly built trail flirted with the drainage, and 15 mph was suddenly possible. Incredible flow and big grins resulted. Maybe we'd make it to Coyote Peak before nightfall after all.
North Tank held a confluence of cow trails. Intuition and the guidebook suggested attaining the eastern ridge, though no clear trail did so. Lee spotted a blaze leading up the western ridge, followed by another. "Yet another error in the guidebook," or so I thought.
There was no third blaze. We descended and weaved through trees, committing ourselves to the western ridge. Brush blocked our path as we reluctantly resigned to switching sides. This was getting us nowhere.
Crossing turned out to be quite a chore. Down was easy enough, but the canyon wall was so steep that carrying a bike up it was difficult. Tricep burning pushes and shoulder shrugs brought us finally to the top as the sun set. I started a desperate descent, crashing through bushes and over piles of rocks, searching for clear ground.
"There's a massive cairn over here!" I shouted. A cairn, but no trail. Time to dust off the free-riding shoes again.
This route reminded me of other sections of CDT, some 5000 feet higher. Specifically – tundra. We were following CDT stakes, and though it was clear of brush, there was no trail and the surface was full of bumps.
Invisible ones, in this case, but still just within the limits of rideability. Full focus was required, because hidden rocks would divert your line without warning, regardless of how even your weight distribution was. Crashing seemed like a bad idea, and it was on edge the entire time.
I wouldn't say it was fun, in fact it grew towards the tedious side as the miles wore on. But there was a certain novelty to it and I couldn't help but smile at the sheer nuttiness of it.
The views into the Plains of St. Augustine were impressive, too. At last, a two track along the powerline brought relief – now we could actually see the rocks and predict their effect on our desire for forward motion.
Lee's wife, Joan, was waiting at Coyote Peak. She had just given up on us and was packing up to move camp up the road. We made it just minutes shy of turning the headlamps on. I was happy to see my big and warm sleeping bag in the car, leaving my featherweight one attached to my bike. I slept deeply, but there was a question in my mind. What now?
It had taken 8 hours to cover these first 20 miles of CDT, and the guidebook's description combined with the twilight glimpse I got of the continuing "trail" east of Coyote Peak did not paint a pretty picture for the next 30. Lee was exhausted and was talking about taking three naps between breakfasts. The future was unknown.

A Group of Western Style Japanese Shirts Sewn from Hand Woven Japanese Cottons
Written on January 22, 2010
Shown today are eight Western tailored shirts sewn from traditional, Japanese cotton cloth, most probably sewn some time around 1950 or 1960. The cloth of some of the shirts is older, and each of these small garments is unused.
Judging from their small size, bright colors and patterns, and the way the buttons fasten, most of the shirts shown here were intended for women and girls. The shirt shown bottom, center in the photo above seems to have been for a man.
The shirt, above, closes with metal snaps. The shirt, below, closes with white, plastic buttons. Each of these eight shirts is machine stitched.The shirts shown above and the two below are sewn from kasuri or ikat woven cotton.
These shirts are an interesting illustration of Western fashion infiltrating Japanese daily life, a trend that began in the Meiji Era (1868-1912), when Japan moved from being an insular, feudal society toward a more international, modern one. 20th century shirts such as the last one pictured (below), the shirt with the "Henley collar," were often worn by male workers under a traditional noragi or hanten as they worked the fields.The man's shirt, below, fastens with white, plastic buttons–and the fabric is a wonderful, hand loomed indigo dyed cotton. The shirt is partially lined.
This is a really delightful group of garments from old Japan–and if you are small enough, they'd be great fun to wear.

It was an emotional day for hundreds of people Friday as they came out to pay their respects to a corrections officer killed while on duty.
The viewing was held for 34 year old Eric Williams who officials said was killed by an inmate at a federal prison in Wayne County.
Hundreds of people lined up outside the Greater Nanticoke Area High School to pay their final respects to a corrections officer killed in the line of duty.
Officials at the federal prison near Waymart say 34 year old Eric Williams died Monday after he was attacked by an inmate wielding a homemade weapon.
Williams, a Nanticoke native, attended the high school where his viewing was held.
Many here knew Eric and his family.
"Really shocked, I couldn`t believe it, it`s very senseless and really, really sad," said Francesca Klinger of Nanticoke.
"Very sad for his parents, no parent should have to go through this," said Sue Klinger of Nanticoke.
This procession of police cars traveled the Casey Highway in Lackawanna County, en route to the viewing.
Many here were fellow members of law enforcement.
Williams graduated from the Police Academy at Lackawanna College and worked as a police officer in Jefferson Township before becoming a corrections officer.
Dan Duffy is the director of the Police Academy and brought his cadets to the viewing.
"To see all the law enforcement community out here today is really an honoring experience and it`s a dedication to the family and to the friends and his co-workers that were there," said Duffy.
These fellow brothers and sisters know all too well the dangers of the job, especially the Correctional Peace Officers Association Honor Guard, which makes a point to attend the funerals of fallen members of law enforcement.
"All of us, even the police officers on the street, the state police, the sheriff`s department, everything else, we`re all brothers," said Captain Steve Dizmon with the honor guard.
Funeral services for Eric Williams will be held at Holy Trinity Church on South Hanover Street in Nanticoke on Saturday, March 2nd.
He will be buried at Saint Mary's Cemetery in Hanover Township.

Crazy letters we get – Part DEUX
You may remember when I did the first CRAZY LETTERS WE GET BLOG, back in January. Well, I saved a few of my favorites these past few weeks, and I feel it is time for Part 2. So here you are: Crazy Letters We Get – Part Two. Enjoy! I know WE did. (Please note that none of the pictures reflect the actual animals in the discussion. Just some crazy looking pics that seemed appropriate).
This was an email I sent to Joy, the Director of Pets Alive Westchester:
We got a called in complaint today.
A woman adopted a dog from you yesterday and the paperwork says it is a basset hound but she is POSITIVE it is a Rottweiler.
She is very upset that you gave her a rottweiler instead of a basset hound so she wants to bring this one back and exchange it for a basset hound.
She doesn't "want no wottweiler".
So please stop giving away rottweilers and trying to dress them up as basset hounds.
It is very unseemly for our organization.

Dragonfly Pictures, Inc. (DPI) is working to bring their DP-14 unmanned aerial vehicle to the civil and military market. The DP-14's shares its tandem-rotor design with Boeing's CH-47 Chinook, the U.S. military's manned, heavy-lifting workhorse. DPI says that their autonomous aircraft can serve a similar role by carrying cargo or even people into and out of challenging terrain.
The DP-14 is designed to carry up to 450 pounds. Fully loaded, the drone can fly for about two hours, but range is extended with lighter loads and more fuel. Designer expects that the drone can reach top speeds of 105 knots (120 miles per hour).
DPI hopes to make its first test flight of the DP-14 Pelican variant by early 2016, according to Aviation Week. Their tandem-rotor design has already been proven with some of their other UAVs like the DP-12.
The DP-14 will use advanced technologies like light detection and ranging, and complex navigation algorithms to make it possible for the aircraft to fly with minimal human input beyond line-of-sight and autonomously evaluate landing sites. DPI says that the drone only needs one operator. In fact, DPI says, one person will be able to fly multiple DP-14s at the same time, a capability which will increase the system's carrying capacity.
DPI is working with a variety of U.S. government partners to develop their UAV systems including NASA and DARPA. Because the DP-14 drone weighs more than 55 pounds the Federal Air Administration is also working with DPI to give it a special certification for commercial applications. One of the possible agricultural uses for the drone would be to spray fields.

AVOCADOS // contain more potassium than a banana
Potassium is a nutrient that most people are not getting enough of. This nutrient helps maintain electrical gradients in the body's cells and serves various important functions.
Avocados are actually very high in potassium…with a 100 gram (3.5 ounce) serving containing 14% of the recommended daily amount (RDA), compared to 10% in bananas, which are a typical high potassium food.
Several studies show that having a high potassium intake is linked to reduced blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
Today's meal share is not just one recipe but THREE! I normally only share one but this pic shows the entire meal, so why not share the whole thing? They all can be whipped up in no time, so sharing them all is no big thang.
On the Menu:
-White fish tacos topped with guacamole and pomegranate seeds
-Black beans topped with goat cheese
-Chopped kale salad with mangoes and toasted pumpkin seeds, lightly tossed in grapeseed oil
It all may sound complex but it was one of the quickest meals to make and for this night's case, it was for a lot of hungry mouths!
What makes these dishes so nice is that they each have that one ingredient that really makes the flavors pop. For the salad, it's the mangoes, for the tacos, it's the pom seeds and for the beans it's the goat cheese. You don't need to focus on much seasoning since its all right there in the ingredients.
So, the next time you're wanting to cook for a large group or just don't have the energy to put some time into dinner, try out this meal.
1 bunch of kale (feeds 2-3 people per bunch)
1 thawed bag of frozen mangoes (highly recommend the Trader Joe's version)
Half a bag of toasted pumpkin seeds
2 tbs of grapeseed oil
- Remove kale from stems and pulse briefly in a blender/food processor until the entire bunch has been blended. Add to salad bowl.
- Lightly toss the salad with 1-2 tbs of grapeseed oil, massaging it into the kale (this helps you get more nutrients from the kale)
- Pour the entire bag (juice, too) of mangoes on top of the salad
- Lightly toast pumpkin seeds in a saute pan on the stove. Make sure you keep your eye on these bad boys, if they sit too long they will burn…take my word for it. Stir occasionally and then once lightly toasted, pour on top of the salad
- Place in the fridge until the rest of your meal is cooked and plated.
1 can organic black beans
1 cup crumbled goat cheese
- Heat beans on stove and when ready, serve in a bowl and top with goat cheese
fresh Halibut filets (or any other white fish of your choosing)
pre-made guacamole
packaged pomegranate seeds
corn tortillas
salt and pepper
red pepper flakes
Side Note: I meant it when I said this was a quick recipe. The guacamole was pre-made from Whole Foods and the pom seeds had been removed from the pom itself for me and placed into a plastic container…expensively contained but worth every penny. Have you ever tried to remove pom arils yourself? It might be worse than cutting up a mango. Just buy them pre-packaged from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's.
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Place your fish on a large metal tray lined in foil or parchment paper and season with your S, PP, paprika and sprinkle lightly with your red pepper flakes.
- Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes (or until flaky)
- When you have a few minutes remaining, wrap your tortillas in a damp paper towel and place in the oven until warm.
- Once the tortillas are ready, top them with the fish, guac and then the pom seeds.
- Enjoy!

Dripping an instant glue such as Super Glue on upholstery may seem like an impossible stain. Super Glue binds quickly to any surface and absorbs into fabric such as upholstery. Dried Super Glue needs a chemical to soften the adhesive to remove it completely.
Blot wet Super Glue from the upholstery with white paper towels. Avoid smearing the glue as you blot carefully.
Pour acetone into an eye dropper. Place one to two drops of the acetone directly onto the dried Super Glue. Blot quickly with a paper towel. Place another one to two drops of the acetone onto the remaining glue and blot away quickly. Repeat the process, removing all the glue.
Pour 1 tbsp dry cleaning solution onto a white cloth. Dab the solution onto the remaining stain on the upholstery. Continue blotting the solution, allowing it to absorb into the upholstery.
Rinse the eye dropper and pour hydrogen peroxide into the clean dropper. Apply two to three drops of the hydrogen peroxide to any remaining stain on the upholstery. Blot the area with a damp cloth, removing the peroxide from the fabric. Blot the area with paper towels to remove excess liquid.
Most recent
- Test the acetone and hydrogen peroxide on the underside of the upholstery to ensure it does not discolour the fabric.

I always wanted to sew a cape dress. By always I mean since the trend popped up in around 2012 or so. All my attempts to draft one failed sooner or later. Then I saw this beauty Very Purple Person made using a Boostrap pattern. It's a pattern for knit fabrics… and you know I love to sew with jersey… Furthermore Novita has similar body measurements so I knew it would work with my body type (well… Bootstrap patterns are rendered according to your very own measurement so they are supposed to fit… but theres a difference between fit and fit…if you know what I mean)
I have to thank Novita not only for the inspiration but also for her tip to not get confused by the instructions wich are very misleading when it comes to the construction of the sleeve… or what a cape dress has where normal dresses have sleeves. I spent quite some time pinning and trying almost every possible way it could work… and I found one. I also adopted Novitas way of finishig the neckline.
The fabric was a very soft and stretchy rayon jersey. I bought it as a remnant on sale at my local fabric shop just around the corner (where I used to live some years ago). I went there with the mission to cheer myself up by touching (and potentially buying) nice fabrics. And those bright colours totally fit the bill. It was just 1.5m but with some pattern piece shuffling it worked out.
The warm temperatures in the desert of Chile were a good excuse to wear the dress. But with a tank top and some tights I could also wear it on my birthday (It's in July but that doesn't always mean warm and sunny here in Germany)
There are still two unblogged birthday-dresses in my closet. Hope to show them to you before there's a third one 🙂

Dear Friends,
Due to Norman and the state of Oklahoma turning into a winter wonderland yesterday, I had the day off thanks to our conscientious university president, David Boren. At first when I woke up to find no freezing rain, I shook my head and wondered why school was cancelled. But as I slowly made my way to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and proceeded to enjoy 2 full, uninterrupted hours of my favorite morning show, CBS This Morning, I began to be okay with not having to rush into the shower and off to work. I sipped my coffee in peace and eventually thanked President Boren for the unexpected day off. After catching up on a few of my recorded shows like Downton Abbey, I decided to flip on over to Netflix. One of the first suggestions that came on the screen was Elsa & Fred. I clicked to read more though it didn't take me long to want to watch. As if the sweet, romantic plot wasn't enough, here is the list of main characters: Christopher Plummer, Shirley MacLaine, Marcia Gay Harden and Christopher Noth. Need I say more? I have always been a sucker for romantic comedies and good dramatic movies and this certainly met my expectations. I won't spoil the movie but here's the gist: Elsa (played by MacLaine) befriends her new neighbor (Plummer) by getting him out of his apartment and brings him out of his crusty-like appearance. The two end up being great companions for each other and falling in love. I would highly encourage you to watch it sometime. The acting is great, plot is good and cast…well, they're all award-winners so you can't go wrong there.
Oh, and a shout out to my friend Betsy who has a movie blog of her own. I certainly don't have the vast knowledge she does of movies. You should check out her list of suggestions and critique of movies.
Stay warm!

What is love?
People have their own definition of it. But I think most people do not really understand it. They have an idea or an expectation of what it means, but they are too afraid to truly feel what love is. So, let me define it for you right now. Love is appreciation. Nothing more and nothing less. The highest form of feeling is appreciation. It's a vibe and an energy that has no expectations. It is a constant element in life. Like energy, it just is. Love is our spirit or soul. Love is what we are in spiritual form. There is no beginning or ending to love. It exists and is therefore a part of every single person on this planet. It does not require anything to be given back. Love is given because it can be given and it feels amazing to give it, but love should not be given with the hope of getting anything in return.
If you tell another person you love them and then expect them to love you in return, that is not love. That is expectation. If you love someone because you believe their actions are justified as 'right', that is not love. That is judgement. You may feel that I am wrong in my assessment, but I assure you I am not. Now, just to make it clear, I am not talking about romantic love or the act of being in love. I am speaking of unconditional, divine love. A love that allows each and every one of us free will, regardless of the outcome of whatever choices we make.
When I was growing up, love was given and then taken away. If I acted according to what was deemed 'right', I was loved. If I acted in a way that was 'wrong', love was taken away. I was told I was not loved anymore. I could never figure out how to turn love on and off. For me, no matter what, I still loved. That feeling never went away. I could get angry and upset and wish that my life was elsewhere, but I never let go of love. I believe that is in part why I never converted to the dark side of life. I think that is what saved my sanity. I know now that it was said as a punishment and to make me feel like I was unworthy, to keep me in line and to control me.
To this day, I continue to love those that dislike me or even hate me. Not because I believe it will change their minds, but because I know that this is who I am. I cannot be otherwise and I accept this willingly. It is a very easy thing to love those that love us. It is a whole different ball game to love those that reject us or despise us. It is hard to do at first when you are programmed to return whatever feeling is given to you. Hate is given, so hate is returned. Anger is given, so anger is returned. It is a useless and empty cycle. I choose to break that cycle. I have no fear of being rejected or despised. It is irrelevant because I love freely and have no expectations. However, it took me time and a lot of practice to let go of the expectations. It takes strength and courage to watch someone walk out of your life and choose to continue loving them while letting them choose their own life.
I encourage you to think about this change in perception. It can be life altering. It can be the difference between defining your life in the way you choose or be defined by life's circumstances. You can transform your life, your person, your thoughts and your perceptions with unconditional love. The only real thing we have control over in life, is who we are and what we project out in this world. I say, let us project as much love as we possibly can. Let us appreciate the hell out of this world. Goodness knows, the world can use it!

Review of Porteno
Carnivores unite and go forth! Porteno is your meat lovers paradise, offering succulent Argentinian barbecued meats and traditional fare.
Porteno has relocated from its original Cleveland Street digs to a brand new venue in Holt Street. (The old home of MoVida).
The restaurant feels a bit more grown up with leather banquet seating, dark woods and black and white floor tiles. But there is still a hint of their 'rockabilly' vibe. Particularly evident by the waiters with their white shirts, vests, bow ties and slicked back hair.
Porteno serves up a menu designed to be enjoyed in the only way the Argentinians know how, by sharing. Meats are slow roasted over a traditional Parilla (that's a barbecue) and Asado (that's a fire pit) and boy are those cooking hours worth the wait!
The new venue has sparked a new menu. Of course meat still plays a big part in their offering and those brussel sprouts are still there (thank goodness), but they have also included some new dishes such as 'fugazza' (an Argentinian focaccia-pizza) and 'faina' (a chickpea pancake) along with some additional seafood plates.
The wine list is exclusively Argentinean, but staff are on hand should your Argentinean wine knowledge not be up to scratch. Speaking of staff, the service is impeccable. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. They've got it down pat.
We really love this place. It's hard to find better meat in Sydney. Also a great place for groups.
Oh, and the best part is – they now take bookings for groups of any size! Hoorah!
If like us you too love Porteno, you might like to check out their sibling tapas restaurant, Bodega and their deli Continental Deli Bar Bistro.
Oh and for a pre-dinner drink, just head to their nearby intimate wine bar Wyno.

THE HON JENNY MACKLIN MP SHADOW MINISTER FOR FAMILIES & PAYMENTS SHADOW MINISTER FOR DISABILITY REFORM MEMBER FOR JAGAJAGA E&OE TRANSCRIPT RADIO INTERVIEW ABC AM WEDNESDAY, 21 OCTOBER 2015 SUBJECT/S: Malcolm Turnbull's cuts to Family Tax Benefits. MICHAEL BRISSENDEN: I'm joined now by the Shadow Minister for Families and Payments, Jenny Macklin. Jenny Macklin welcome to the program. JENNY MACKLIN, SHADOW MINISTER FOR FAMILIES & PAYMENTS: Thank you. BRISSENDEN: You must see this as a win, do you? MACKLIN: It's certainly a win for families, it's a big win for families. The Government has backed down on one of the biggest cuts which was the freeze to Family Tax Benefits, and as you say, the decision which the government had made to stop Family Tax Benefits Part B when the youngest child turns 6, it is still going to be the case that Family Tax Benefit Part B will stop when their youngest child turns 13. So obviously we still have significant concerns, particularly for single parents and grandparent carers. BRISSENDEN: So will you support those changes? MACKLIN: Well, we'll go through the detail; we only got the legislation last night, but if I can just say on a first read, my concerns are particularly for those single parents and grandparent carers who are looking after teenagers. The last thing they want to hear is that they're going to get less money. Up to $2,000 or $3,000 a year as a result of these cuts. So we'll go through the detail but I don't think the Government should think for a minute that they'll get a rubber stamp. BRISSENDEN: And some will end up better off won't they? MACKLIN: On my first read noone will be better off, some might not be as badly off as under the previous cuts, but we'll go through the detail. BRISSENDEN: Malcolm Turnbull said in Question Time yesterday that the revised package would strike a balance between achieving significant savings, which is clearly important for any
Government, and still providing sufficient financial support to those families in need. It doesn't sound like you necessarily agree with that. MACKLIN: Well as I said we will have to look at who the different families are that lose the most because I am concerned that the Government is still going to be taking large amounts of money out of the pockets of, for example, single parents. We're not going to be sitting by and not criticise and try and prevent single parents being worse off. BRISSENDEN: There was a lot riding on this family benefit legislation schedule passing the Senate, particularly the Government's child care package for instance which was linked directly to it. So if the Government now turns around and says they can't afford the child care package because this hasn't gone through, you would have to accept some responsibility for that too, wouldn't you? MACKLIN: Well, first of all, the Government is not introducing their child care package today, they're only introducing their cuts to families today, so that's the first thing. Where is their child care package? They announced it in May, nobody's seen it, so if they have a child care package, bring it into the Parliament and we can all debate it. That's the first thing. The second thing is that we do understand that parents need more support with child care, but we don't believe in robbing one set of families to help another. We think that there should be fair savings to help pay for child care, not savings ripped off the back of single parents, for example. BRISSENDEN: Now we are talking about billions of dollars here of revenue that the Government had been relying on. Scott Morrison has said consistently since he's become Treasurer that there's a spending problem. Do you agree? MACKLIN: Labor has always made it clear that we are prepared to make sensible savings, and in fact we have agreed with the Government to changes to Family Tax Benefits for families on higher incomes. So we have already agreed to a very large amount of savings in that area alone. Of course Labor has also put forward fairer savings proposals, making sure that multinational's operating in Australia pay their fair share of tax, those with high superannuation balances should pay their fair share of tax, so there are fairer ways to raise money than cutting the payments that single parents rely on to put food on the table for their children. BRISSENDEN: The problem with all of that though is that it doesn't address the budget problem that the country has. MACKLIN: Well I think that if you look at the detail of the proposals that we have put forward, they are significant savings, they will of course help the Budget bottom line and they will help make sure that we can pay for the initiatives that we think people are really crying out for. Yes, families want improvements to child care, but what they don't want is to know that they'll getsomething with one hand and have it taken away with the other. That seems to be Scott Morrison's approach. BRISSENDEN: It seems to be clear that this Government, under Malcolm Turnbull, is starting to take a new direction, recalibrating a number of the policies that they took to the 2014 Budget, how do you respond to that? You will have to recalibrate your approach too won't you?
MACKLIN: Well these are now Malcolm Turnbull's cuts to families. Let's be very clear about that. These cuts that they're putting into the Parliament today are Malcolm Turnbull's cuts to families. We'll have a look at the detail but he has now his own name written on these. So when he fronts up to single parents and says to them they're going to lose thousands of dollars, that's because of Malcolm Turnbull's decision. BRISSENDEN: Okay, but is it going to be easier to find consensus with Malcolm Turnbull? Because there is clearly less animosity than surrounded the Labor relationship with Tony Abbott for example. MACKLIN: Well for example in the Parliament we put to him just the other day that he could agree to our proposals about superannuation, for example, and he just said 'no.' So this works both ways, we're prepared to put sensible savings proposals to the Government. If they want to sit down with us to discuss those sorts of changes to superannuation, Chris Bowen has offered the Government that he would sit down with them. BRISSENDEN: Okay, Jenny Macklin, we'll leave it there. Thank you very much for joining us. MACKLIN: Thank you. ENDS WEDNESDAY 21 OCTOBER 2015 MEDIA CONTACT: LACHLAN POULTER 0423 937 655

There is a simplicity to Dexter Filkins' Atonement in the October 29, 2012 issue of The New Yorker: a company of Marines got into a firefight and wound up killing a number of civilians, including many members of the Kachadoorian family. Ten years later, one of the men in that company tries to find them to try and express his sorrow and regret over what he did.

The opening to "Atonement" is brilliant. In the opening paragraph, the reader immediately understands who the key person in the story is, what happened in Iraq, and gets a clear, visceral sense of the horror of that night:
Almost every night was like this. Lobello couldn't sleep, couldn't stop thinking about his time in Iraq. Around San Diego, he'd see a baby—in a grocery store, in a parking lot—and the image would come back to him: the blood-soaked Iraqi infant, his mother holding him aloft by one foot. "Why did you shoot us?'' the woman demanded over and over. Other times, Lobello would see a Mercedes—a blue or white one, especially—and he'd recall the bullet-riddled sedan in the Baghdad intersection, the dead man alongside it in the street, the elderly woman crying in broken English, "We are the peace people! We are the peace people!" He'd remember that the barrel of his machine gun was hot to the touch.
The story introduces the reader first to Lobello, then, second, to Nora and Margaret Kachadoorian, who survived the gunfire that killed most of their family. And then it moves towards a possible meeting between all three, whose lives were irrevocably changed that night in 2003.
Lobello's struggles and unresolved guilt make him a sympathetic figure in the story, but the morality of his actions remain murky and gray. Filkins includes a quote midway through the story is revealing and troubling:
Lobello had only the vaguest idea how many Iraqis they had killed and wounded; he could remember only the frenzy of it, the terrifying thrill, the streams of bullets going in. "A lot of times, I think what happened was, somebody would realize, Fuck, dude, we're not shooting the right people. But it was like the beast was already going. You can't say hold on, stop, wait—no way. No way. You can say, 'Cease fire. Cease fucking fire!' Well, fuck, all right, man, but let me get off a couple more rounds. It's like having sex with a woman, and she's saying, 'Let's stop right now.' You can't. You're in it."
It's clear from many accounts of the incident during the story that panic and confusion played a large role in what happened, but Lobello's description sounds like he is comparing it to (and justifying) rape. Lobello's quote is disturbing, and I wonder if Filkins (or his editors) had reservations about including it in the story… or if they felt ethically obliged to keep it in the piece. Regardless, it is painfully honest and shows the reader a lot about the mindset of the soldiers that night as they opened fire.
Filkins writes small scenes that are rich with telling details. Here, he describes a meeting the Kachadoorians in their home, and in a small paragraph, we get a sense of both their quiet dignity and their ongoing sense of loss:
Nora brought out a tray of tea and lahmajun, the same Armenian dish that Margaret had served me nine years before. A framed photo of the Kachadoorian men—Nicolas, James, and Edmund—stood on a table next to the couch. "Every day when I put my head on my pillow, I remember this sight," Margaret said, "how my eldest son, Nicky, fell in the street."
The story is filled with tragedy. It's also difficult to put down. Will they meet? What will they say if they do? Will a face-to-face meeting help either the family or the solider? The closing pages of the story are tense and riveting. It's a powerful read you shouldn't miss.

MIAMI – For Justise Winslow it's been a long, slow recovery. But the Miami Heat forward knows the end is near.
"Five months down one more to go as far as the six month process," Winslow said Saturday about the right shoulder injury that ended his second season in the NBA.
"I feel great. I got all my range of motion. We're just trying to get it strong enough that it can endure contact and falls."
Winslow, appearing at the NBA 3-on-3 tour fan experience at Bayfront Park, is in the Heat training facility nearly every day working on his recovery. He underwent surgery in early January to repair a torn labrum. That injury, along with missing 16 games because of a sprained wrist, limited him to just 18 games last season.
Now the 21-year-old says he is looking for the "silver lining" to a frustrating second season.
"For me it's about getting my shoulder right, getting in the best shape possible and to make strides in my game one day at a time," he said. "I can't wait to get back out there. For some reason I've remained pretty steady throughout this whole surgery process and recovery process. I know when the time comes that I'll be ready."
[Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters will opt out of contract, become a free agent as expected]
[Medical ruling moves Heat closer to getting Chris Bosh's contract off salary cap]
[Willie Reed to opt out of contract and test free agency — how can Heat keep him?]
The 6-foot-7 Winslow was back on the court toward the end of the season, working out at his pace. Though it will be weeks until he's ready for full contact, he is going through limited contact with trainers.
"I don't think they are going to throw me to the wolves and go crazy," he said.
Winslow expects to be fully recovered by the time training camp starts in September.
As far as his individual training, this summer is much like last.
"Shooting," he said. "I'm trying to get my shooting mechanics down. I'm trying to become the best shooter I possibly can."
Most criticism of Winslow has centered around his outside shot. He made 42.2 percent as a rookie, just 27.6 percent on 3-pointers. The Heat then handed him the starting small forward spot last summer with the hopes that the shot would improve.
But things got worse. Bothered by the wrist early in the season, Winslow became tentative and when he did shoot the results were ugly. He made just 35.6 percent of his 225 field goal attempts and was 7-of-35 (20 percent) on threes.
Heat President Pat Riley said following the season the criticism of Winslow was unfair.
"I wish you would get off his 3-point shooting because he's so much more than that," Riley told the media. "He's a player. He's a warrior. He's a defender. He's got tremendous energy. He cares about winning. The guy had a tough, rough ride this year.
"We're measuring this guy after (96) games. And I think that's unfair."
Other than heading home to the Houston area in a little more than two weeks for a two-day camp, Winslow plans to spend the rest of the summer in Miami. He is one of a handful of Heat players under contract and is not sure what the team will look like when free agency settles down.
"The offseason is crazy as we know from last year," he said. "As a player all I can do is become the best Justise Winslow I can. I can't really worry about who is coming in or what the front office is going to do. I can only take care and control what I can control and that's my game, that's my body, that's my mind."
The two biggest names from the Heat roster when it comes to free agents are forward James Johnson and guard Dion Waiters. And although Winslow said, "those guys know" when asked if he's been doing any recruiting, he would not reveal anything more about their situations.
Still, he's anxious for this team to build off a season in which it finished 30-11 after an 11-30 start and missed the playoffs by one game.
"This team had something special," he said. "I would have loved our chances in the first round (of the playoffs) and take it from there.
"I think guys are using that as motivation. We know that feeling of being right there. We know that feeling of being counted out, being underdogs. We use that as fuel."

Hello everyone,
I am modeling CO2 as a two-phase flow that the flow as a supercritical enters into the tube and after that, I will have two phases (vapor and liquid) because pressure decreases.
I used Ansys AIM to generate the RGP table, so I am not worried about the RGP table. However, when I used HEM, after some iterations I will get the overflow error. Therefore, at first I start the simulation with a single phase for 700 iterations and there was no error (no overflow error or warning message about Table bounds warnings). So I used the single phase results as my initial condition for two-phase. The good thing that the iteration doesn't stop and I haven't got an overflow error but I received the Table bounds warnings. I think that my setup case doesn't have a problem because it worked with one phase.
I would be grateful for your help.
