This invention relates to arrangements for upgrading the software for the control of switching systems or other real time systems.
Modem telecommunications switching systems are controlled by data processing systems. These data processing systems are controlled by a program stored in the memory of the data processing system. As demands for more features and improved capacity evolve over time, the program for these systems is changed to adapt them to these new requirements. Usually, program changes are introduced with a "new release", although, of course, small errors are frequently corrected through small changes in the program.
The changes in the program are frequently accompanied by changes in the memory; both the random access memory (RAM), and the bulk memory such as this used by these systems since the changes frequently require more memory, and since new types of faster and higher capacity bulk memories are constantly being introduced in the market.
A problem arises in switching systems and other real time systems whose operation cannot be interrupted in introducing such changes without disrupting service. Methods have been found for introducing new releases one step at a time through the use of special conversion software to convert the data base from one release to the next, the conversion software being written specifically for this single step conversion, and for making the transition from one release to the next through a process which involves the use of the duplicate equipment that is provided in the control processors. One processor controls the system under the old release while the second processor is being loaded with the program and data base of the new release. A transition is made to control by the second processor and its memory, and the first processor is kept in the old release until it has been determined that the system operates satisfactorily under the control of the second processor. Thereafter, the first processor is updated with the new release and the data base for the new release, and the system operates under the new release.
This solution is unsatisfactory for the case in which it is desired that a switching system be updated by several release steps. The method requires that such updating be performed one step at a time, preferably with a substantial time within each step to insure that the system is still operating satisfactorily. The demand for multiple step upgrade is quite high since many telephone administrations chose to stay in one release for a number of years until there is an overwhelming need for a new release; at that time, the normal procedure is to upgrade immediately to the newest release.
A problem of the prior art is that there is no satisfactory way of performing a single jump multiple release upgrade in a switching system or other real time control systems.
The above problem is solved and an advance is made over the prior art in accordance with our invention wherein a multiple step release is made by having a transition from the early release to a state wherein one of the duplicate control processors operates using a new bulk memory pre-initialized with the data base and program of the new release; after a period of satisfactory operation in the new release, the second processor is also connected to a newly initialized bulk memory, and the system operates in the new release. Advantageously, the jump is accomplished as a single upgrade process. Advantageously, this arrangement does not require any special jump retro-fit software support. Advantageously, such an arrangement avoids the cost of hardware required for intermediate releases, but not required for the initial and final release. Advantageously, the upgrade can be accomplished in a single jump process instead of a group of smaller upgrades.
In accordance with applicants' preferred embodiment, the transition of each of the two processor and associated bulk memory is accomplished by taking the processor out of service and reconnecting the cable to bulk memory from the initial bulk memory to the new bulk memory. Advantageously, such an arrangement avoids the requirement for multiple memory ports to support the transition.
In applicants' preferred embodiment, the data base is updated one release at a time using the software for making the transition in the data base from one release to the next. This updating is performed off-line and the new release version of the data base, as well as the new release version of the program is then initialized into the new bulk memory. In applicants' preferred embodiment, this off-line process is performed in a worling switch using a simplex moving head drive. Advantageously, such an arrangement avoids the necessity for additional software development for the conversion of the data base for a jump in releases, or alternatively, avoids the long and labor-intensive process of implementing a multiple release change through a series of single release changes.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are initial and final configurations of a system being upgraded through multiple releases of the program and through a change of processors and disk file controls; and
FIG. 3 is a flow-diagram illustrating the process of switching from an earlier program to a later program.
FIG. 1 illustrates the system comprising duplicated processors A, 15 and 16, duplicated disk file controllers 11 and 12, and peripherals 3. Each processor can drive and receive information from the peripherals over buses 7 and 8 respectively. Each processor communicates with both disk file controllers via buses 5 and 6 respectively. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the most general case in which in addition to having an upgrade of several program releases being performed in accordance with applicant's invention as a single upgrade step, but also illustrates the process of changing disk file controllers and/or processors during one of the multiple upgrade steps. In this case, it is assumed that the initial processors are, processors A, initial disk file controllers are disk file controllers A, and that the upgraded processors and disk file controllers are processors B, 17 and 18 and disk file controllers B 19 and 20. If the disk file controllers are not being changed, i.e., if disk file controller A is in fact disk file controller B or the processors are not being changed, i.e., processors A are the same as processors B, then any indications of moving tables from an A type unit to a B type unit can be ignored.
It is assumed in this case that the disk file controllers can accept insertable disks as a means of upgrading their memory. If this is not the case, then the usual arrangements for uploading disks, well known in the prior art, can be used.
FIG. 2 is the final configuration of the system. Note that since processors A are no longer connected, and therefore no longer needed, these processors can be reused as can disk file controllers A. Note further, that in case either or both of these units are retained, that these are simply continued in use. Further, if a system upgrade is sufficiently radical so that two generations of disk file controllers or processors are used in going from units of A type to units of B type, that there is no need ever to introduce intermediate processor or disk file controller since the system never operates at an intermediate release. The symbols "1" and "2" indicate connections made before the upgrade and after the upgrade, respectively.
FIG. 3 illustrates the process of performing the upgrade. Action block 301 indicates that new program text must be derived. This new program text is simply the newest release. Action Block 303 is key to applicant's invention. The new office data is derived from the original office data by upgrading the office data one release at a time. In order to allow programs to progress from one release to the next, it is required that a program be derived for going from each program issue to the next program issue. This is a minimum requirement. In accordance with the teachings of applicant's invention, if one, two, or more intermediate releases are skipped, the intermediate office data is derived for each step using the previous issue of office data and the one step upgrading program. For example, if the system goes from release 11 to release 15, the office data of release 11 currently resident in the system is first upgraded to office data for release 12, using the 11-12 upgrading software. Release 12 office data is then upgraded to release 13 office data using the release 12-13 upgrade program. This is repeated to get to release 14 data and repeated once more to get to release 15 office data.
The new text and the new data are then inserted into one side of the new disk file, Action Block 305. If the new disk file is in fact different from the old disk file, i.e., if disk file B is not the same as disk file A, then the new text and data can be inserted into both sides of the new disk file; obviously, this cannot be done if the new disk file and the old disk file are the same since this would risk crashing the system if the system were incapable of running with the new text and new data because of some program or data flaw. In Action Block 307, one side of the new processor (or if the new processor is the same as the old processor, the currently acting stand-by side of the old processor) is connected to the new disk file. In Action Block 309, 1 peripheral bus is connected to that side of the new processor, i.e., the side connected to the new disk file (or the disk file containing new data if the disk file is not being changed). At this point, control of the system is switched to that side of the new processor, i.e., the side connected to the new text and data of the new disk file (Action Block 311). A soak interval is then used to test if the system is capable of operating under the control of the new program text and new office data (test 313). If a problem is encountered during the soak interval, then control is switched back to the previously active processor, and the old disk file (Action Block 315). The problem is then addressed, and fixed (Action Block 317). Following the fixing of the problem, Action Block 311 is re-entered to try again to see if the system can operate for a full soak interval under the control of the new processor. If the soak interval is successfully passed without any problems, then the new text and data is inserted into the other side of this disk file (Action Block 321) (if the disk file had not been changed this is necessary; if this disk file had been changed as noted with respect to Action Block 305, this may already have been done). Finally, the other side of the new processor is connected to the new disk file, and to the peripheral (Action Block 321).
Advantageously, this arrangement allows a multiple stage upgrade to be performed as a single step. This is economical because each upgrade must be carefully observed, and may result in the loss of some calls. Further, during the upgrade interval, substantial staff must be available in case of problems. Further, it is not necessary to provide intermediate disk file controllers or processors using this process. Advantageously, such an arrangement not only saves money, but encourages more frequent updates of processors and disk file controllers.
The above description pertains to one specific preferred embodiment of applicant's invention. Many other arrangements will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. The invention is limited only by the accompanying claims.

What It Takes
Why Love Rules
By Shawn Coyne | Published: October 14, 2016
What if tomorrow everything you've learned about storytelling disappeared?
What would you do?
Where would you begin to relearn your craft?
For those of us who spend a considerable amount of our conscious hours inside our heads, the likelihood of this happening is pretty slim. Barring some highly unlikely blunt force trauma to our noggins, we're not going to lose everything we know overnight.
But is it not instructive to use our imaginations to consider what we would do if the worst catastrophic fantasy of a storyteller were to actually happen?
For anyone who has played competitive sports, this idea of having to start all over again is not exceptional. And the longer you played, the more likely it was to occur.
The football player or soccer player who blows out an Anterior Cruciate Ligament on the field on Friday, Saturday or Sunday game faces surgery on Monday. And that unnerving and ethereal experience is soon followed by one of the most painful words in the English language…. Rehab.
Rehab is a process of managing pain in the service of regaining fundamental skills. It doesn't just require an acceptance of intense discomfort (my old physical therapist's softer phrase for torture), it requires the abandonment of a taken for granted reliance on previous mastery.
You literally have to relearn how to stand up before you'll be able to walk. You have to relearn how to walk before you can jog. And jog before you can run in a straight line. And then you have to relearn how to best change directions (that's when the real pain begins when you're 90% back to form)…and what muscles must be rebuilt to accomplish those changes.
It's a humbling process, but it's not a baffling series of steps.
You simply do what you need to do to stand. Do what you need to do to walk. Do what you need to do to jog. Do what you need to do to run. Do what you need to do to cut. Repeat. Those are the five stages of rebuilding a knee.
Which begs the question…
What would be the equivalent series of intellectual steps to learn or refresh our understanding of storytelling?
What must we do to "stand" as storytellers?
Good old Marcus Aurelius's recommendation that we peel back the onion layers of a skill and "Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature?" is a good place to start.
All of those who've read anything I've written about story structure will not be surprised by my go-to starting point to figure out what story is in itself…
I'm going to begin by looking at Genre.
And what I mean by Genre is simply the way by which we divide or classify kinds of stories. What kinds of boxes we put them in.
There are a lot of Genres. Check out my five-leaf clover definition of Genre here and you'll soon want to run for the hills.
But before you do, let's take a step back and ask ourselves a simple question…did all of those Genres come from some primal place?
Was there some fundamental want or need that human beings desired or required to survive a hostile environment? And could that want or need be fulfilled by simply following the behavioral prescriptions inherent in a compelling story?
What I mean by "behavioral prescriptions" isn't as complicated as the phrase may seem. Just think of asking someone or some artificial intelligence for directions.
What do they do? They tell you a story. You start here, turn there, turn there, look for the gas station on the left, turn right and you'll get where you need to be. Those are behavioral prescriptions that derive from a third party narrative…How to change your behavior to get to the place you want to be.
So what was the first story?
Obviously Action stories were probably first. They concern overcoming an external life threatening force, like hunting prey or avoiding a pack of hungry wolves or something. The stakes are huge and ancient cave drawings prove how important these stories were to our loincloth-clad forebears. Getting our water, food and shelter are mucho importante. And the behavioral prescriptions to get those things are crucial to our day-by-day survival.
And War stories were primal too. They lent direction when human forces intent on our destruction marched into our private valley. So stories about how to outmaneuver and survive an invasion sit alongside environmental Action stories as a primary genre.
But wait, let's back up even more…is there a need within us all that is even more fundamental than water, food, and shelter?
There is.
It's love.
Without love, we're dead.
If mom doesn't love us enough to take care of us as infants, we die. Simple fact.
None of us can make it alone. Not even Donald J. Trump.
When the state wants to destroy a person, they put them in solitary confinement. Sentenced to 365/24/7 with only our internal voices is torture. It's just not better to connect with others…it's life-saving.
Love is the force that not just binds us to the rest of humanity…it's the very thing that preserves our species. To fail to love therefore is not only an external threat to our own private lives; a love breakdown across humanity will take down our entire life form.
So, sure the short-term primal genres (Action, Horror, War, Thriller) concern the concrete foundation of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs…how to survive today.
But the Love Story is the long-term mother of all Genres. It's not just about how to survive today; it's about how to last a lifetime…and even how to gain a measure of immortality. Good old Marcus Aurelius has a measure of immortality, doesn't he? His work still resonates today…probably far more than it did in his own lifetime.
Love story is the structure that instructs us on how to discover the meaning of our existence. Both as individuals and as atomic particles that bump in to one another in a complex action and reaction that comprises the human collective unconscious. Don't forget that Marcus Aurelius is still bumping around in that soup today even though he left earth 1,836 years ago…and we think Cal Ripken's Ironman streak is something…
So if we want to refresh our storytelling craft, what better Genre is there to examine than the Love Story?
In the next series of posts, I'll open up the hood of the internal combustion Love Story engine and see what makes that baby purr.

And, cue about a million tweets of people complaining "The ONE week I don't play Tavon Austin …"
The Rams are destroying the Colts 28-0, and it's featured two electric touchdowns by by Austin. The first was on a 98-yard punt return (longest PR of the season). Then he hauled in a 57-yard TD pass.
UPDATE: The Rams start the second half predictably, with an 81-yard TD reception by Austin, on a crossing route. Rams 35, Colts 0. Austin has touched the ball seven times, and has three TDs.
The PR gave the Rams a 21-0 lead, and it came on a questionable decision — Austin fielding a punt near the goal line. But I guess he was desperate to do something with the ball, since St. Louis OC Brian Shottenheimer hadn't been utilizing him much on offense.
You can't really blame him for his poor dancing, can you?
UPDATE: Andrew Luck picked off in end zone, early third quarter.

text: Making Christmas ornaments is a fun easy activity to do with your kids. You have several choices of materials to use. You can buy glass ornaments at the store that are plain and decorate them with glitter patterns as one easy option. You can also buy fabric at the store and then cut the fabric into shapes such as stars or christmas trees and use fabric, glitter, or other decorative items to decorate the ornament. Another option is to use a clothes pin and place eyes on the front, a red puffy ball for the note and pipe cleaner for antler and you have a reindeer. Items you can find in your area such as pine cones or shells can also be decorated with glitter and a bow and hung on the tree. Let your creativity come out and the sky is the limit.

wmawhite says to llighthouse():It is reasonable to believe that the IMF, WB (World Bank) and the CBI "KNOW" what is going on with the money policy of Iraq. We can say we "know" this.

The "For Churches" section of JoePursch.com is formatted specifically for church leadership teams and decision makers to gain a closer understanding of my philosophies of ministry and leadership. Key questions are answered in the unfolding menu in this section, and cover many of the issues that churches typically explore when considering how I could partner with their ministry team.
Let's begin where it all really starts, with Vision:
"Simply stated, I have a vision to see God's church bring increasing glory to Him as it develops Biblically mature disciples; people who passionately pursue Christ honoring relationships within the Body and redemptive relationships with those who don't yet know Christ.
My key roles of influence in helping His church accomplish this vision are as a Biblical Communicator , an Organizational Leader and a Congregational Shepherd.
As a Biblical Communicator, my energy is intently focused on the discipline of Expository Preaching, with a passion for discovering and delivering the meaning of the Bible's passages and themes in practical ways to believers. People describe my strongest ministry as that of a Bible Teacher, focused on "Opening God's Word and Encouraging God's People, Verse by Verse." My constant desire is to grow in communicating Biblical truth in an accurate, practical and compelling manner so that Christ is seen, His cross is valued and His call of discipleship is clear.
As an Organizational Leader, I enjoy working in a role as a Senior/Teaching Pastor in a team-leadership format with fellow Elders, bringing my gifts and experience to bear as a "leader of leaders" as we jointly shepherd the flock. My joy is also energized when I am able to mentor ministry staff members (especially younger, emerging leaders) into greater effectiveness with those they lead and into richer fulfillment in how they serve.
As a Congregational Shepherd, I enjoy creating broad "vision excitement" and organizational momentum, leveraging my teaching ability to draw out points of vision, direction and motivation from the Scriptures and then applying them through the preaching experience and other congregation-wide avenues of communication. But I also simply value being with people in the "life to life" settings of ministry, whether its brainstorming new ministry ideas with key leaders, praying together in a small group, or walking with someone through a crisis and looking to trace God's loving hand in it all. To me, all of these encounters form the daily dimensions of ministry's most gratifying experience:"Bringing the Bible to life, and to lives."
Special Note: For a detailed description of my philosophy of Casting Vision, Developing Leaders and preparing Expository Messages please go to the Writing menu tab at the top of the homepage.

Mazel Tov: David Arquette's Jerusalem barmitzvah
Hollywood actor David Arquette has celebrated his barmitzvah at the Kotel.
The Scream star, who was once married to Friends actress Courtney Cox, is Jewish but was brought up on a commune and as a 13-year-old did not have the chance to celebrate his religious coming of age.
His maternal grandparents came to the US after escaping Nazi-occupied Poland, but his father was a convert to Islam and his upbringing included a mixture of faiths.
"I wanted a barmitzvah but didn't have one as a kid...I still may get one - maybe for my 40th birthday," he told the Jewish Journal two years ago.
Mr Arquette was in Israel this week filming scenes for his television series "Trippin" when he attended another barmitzvah ceremony.
The experience prompted him to agree to hold his own, and earlier today he read from the Torah and put on tefillin for the first time. The ceremony was conducted by Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch.
"I had my Barmitzvah today at the wall," the actor wrote on Twitter. "Finally I'm a man."
Mr Arquette has rarely commented on his Jewish background, but during his wedding in 1999 he smashed a glass in accordance with Jewish tradition.
His stay in Israel has also included visits to Masada and Tel Aviv. "This is [one] of the great cities in the world," he said of the latter.

This Beagle at the Westminster Dog Show Won't Be Told What to Do (Video)
For the most part, the dogs at upper-level dog shows are so well-behaved that there's very little suspense when it comes time for them to take the floor. But fortunately, every once in a while, there's a pup like this beagle, Mia, who tosses the rules out the window to do what she wants. These […]
M.I.A. Flips The Bird During Super Bowl Halftime Performance (Video)
It didn't sent off a wave of controversy quite like the wardrobe malfunction during Super Bowl XXXVIII's halftime show, but M.I.A.'s bird-flipping performance has certainly overshadowed the singing of Madonna, Nicky Minaj and L.M.F.A.O. one day after they took the stage at Lucas Oil Stadium for the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show last night.

Another week, another Clayton Kershaw start pushed to Monday. At least this week they moved the start before I wrote and submitted this article. If they move it again Saturday morning, then I will be convinced that Dave Roberts is just doing this to troll me every week. As of now, he is your top two-start starter for Week 12. He might even deserve his own tier.
For Week 12, there arenŌĆÖt a ton of attractive options after our first two tiers. In previous weeks, we have had middle-of-the-road arms with some good peripherals or some recent success that were available in the majority of leagues. This week, though, IŌĆÖm not crazy about any of the starters on this list that are going to be available in most leagues. Just look at the numbers in the chart below.Please, blog, may I have some more?

China's Shipbuilding Hub Faces Precipice
Jiangsu Province's Economic and Information Technology Commission reviews Q1 2013 province-wide shipyard finances.
The review of the shipbuilding industry's performance showed that 44 privately-owned shipbuilders out of 66 failed to win new orders and none of major seven builders could ink a contract, with 30% of large corporations recording a loss, reports China Shipbuilding Industry Co.
Shipbuilders' profit margins in Jiangsu appear to be sharply decreasing from 22% recorded in 2010 and four companies out of thirteen majors reported a loss during the first quarter of this year.
Although the province's newbuilding delivery was up on the same quarter last year, the scope of increase has plummeted with decreasing orderbook standing at 832 vessels of 37.912-million dwt with a remarkable decrease of 27.7% year-on-year.
Recently, according to this source Jiangsu-based COSCO (Lianyungang) Shipyard was reported to have shut down due to a protracted loss. It appears that shipyards which have slots on schedule for a year and a half are resorting to the expedient of delaying lead time and several small while mid-sized yards face closing their businesses.

During her first few moments at the cold, Gothic mansion of a school, she sees obvious bad boy Cam (Harrison Gilbertson), a devilishly handsome rogue to whom she is immediately drawn. But then later, she spots quiet and moody Daniel (Jeremy Irvine) and she can't shake the feeling that they've met before. However, Daniel gives her the cold shoulder and all but runs the opposite direction.
She is handed over to fellow student Arianne (Daisy Head, Underworld: Blood Wars) for a tour of the school and it seems Luce will be brought into Ari's clique, until Arianne finds out she's housed on the 3rd floor, AKA the mental ward. Fortunately, bookish and nosy student Penn (Lola Kirke) is right there to step in as Luce's friend and she's a good ally to have, especially since she works in the office and has access to everyone's records. Did I mention she was nosy?
Not everyone is as nice as Penn, though. There's Molly (Sianoa Smit-McPhee), a purple-haired angry girl who bullies and pushes Luce, just to get her into trouble. Then there's Roland (Malachi Kirby), the standoffish dread-locked party king and, finally, there's Gabrielle (Hermione Corfield), the flaxen-haired beauty often seen in the company of Daniel, which is hard for Luce to see, since she has started to crush on Daniel hard.
When an accident happens outside on the school grounds and Daniel saves Lucinda's life just in the nick of time, she has some strange flashbacks or memories. Again, she feels like she knows him from somewhere and she sees flashes of visions of them in times past, but he denies it. Meanwhile, Cam is hitting pretty hard on her and she likes him too, although her draw to Daniel is much stronger. And then there's just the normal school stuff, like religion class, taught by Ms. Sophie (Joely Richardson, 101 Dalmations), who only seems to teach about the war in Heaven and the fall of the angels who didn't pick a side between God and Lucifer. Apparently, all of the fallen angels are stuck here on Earth until the one specific rebel angel picks a side. Unfortunately, just as he did all those years ago, he still chooses love over God or the devil, so stuck they all remain.
When Luce shares her feelings for Daniel with Penn and the thought that they've met before, Penn enlists her computer-savvy crush, Todd (Chris Ashby), to research Daniel on the internet with surprising and shocking results. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes the school and, in the chaos, Luce is hard-pressed to confront Daniel with their findings... until she does. What she discovers will shake her to her core, and she'll realize that not only is she not crazy, but she'll have a huge decision to make and her very life will depend upon it.
As far as paranormal romances go, Fallen is not bad. I'm not a huge Twilight fan, but I've read the first and second books and I've seen a few of the movies. While it's not my favorite genre, I typically enjoy them and, for the most part, I enjoyed Fallen. What I didn't enjoy was the way it ended, with zero resolution and basically a total cliffhanger for the next book/movie. That's so not cool, because not everyone is a fan of the book series and knows what is going to happen next, me included, and it seems that everything that happened in the film was just a big setup for the next installment. Now I have to wait and see if another movie is made, since the sequel has been in "pre-production" for a while now. Overall, the story is pretty good and the acting and chemistry is good. The setting is almost as brooding as the angsty teens that populate it and there are some pretty shocking events that take place during the film. However, it left me cold the way it ended, with me literally saying "Are you kidding me?!" when the Fallen book appeared and closed after the last scene.
There are a couple of special features such as a making-of, a discussion with the author, and cast interviews, but nothing that gave me any hint as to where the story is going, which would have been nice. If you are a fan of the series, you'll probably love this movie. For the rest of us, it's a good story, just go into it knowing in advance that you'll be left wondering what happens next.

Look: Blue Brown
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Brown, Looks, MAC, Smokey
The pigment Blue Brown is a MAC PRO item and the pictures barely do it justice. It's so shiny and the color is a reddish brown, but the blue kind of shimmers through it. It's one of those rare and amazing colors in my opinion, and here is a look using that pigment. Enjoy!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Indian Wood PP (base), Blue Brown pigment (all over lid), Satin Taupe (upper lid & blender), Club (crease), Grand Entrance (highlight), Auto de Blu Technakohl liner, Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Sweetness Beauty Powder Blush
- Lips: Softwood lipliner, Chanel Copacabana lipstick, Chanel Glossimer #104
See more pictures!

I really like the way this eyeshadow looks. A great way to add some depth to a normally neutral look. I think I might have to go buy it this weekend :)

Oh thanks Marie! Well, if you plan on buying it – you'll have to get to a PRO store (there's one in Beverly Hills…and the next closest to you would be either San Fran or Vegas). If you'd really like one, let me know and I can pick it up the next time I'm there ($20).

We always talk about the healing powers of yoga. It builds strength, increases flexibility, and calms the mind. That's why we all do yoga – to better ourselves, physically and mentally. It's why I teach yoga, because I believe in its power to help people.
So earlier this year when I pulled my hamstring doing yoga it was a hard pill to swallow. I couldn't believe the thing I trust so much just caused me so much pain. I felt betrayed and hurt by yoga. How could it do this to me?
After the initial shock and anger, I realized it wasn't betrayal I was feeling, it was shame. It wasn't the yoga that pulled my hamstring, it was my ego. It was on our last day in Aruba (you should go this year!) and I went for an extreme pose that I thought I could handle because I'd been doing yoga everyday. What I didn't do was turn inwards and listen to what my body was telling me. I was more than warmed up. I was exhausted from doing yoga everyday. I should have taken it easy and done what I tell my students to do – listen to my body.
If you can really listen to your body it will tell you where your edge is. Your body is your best teacher. It knows what feels good, and when something feels bad it tells you – the pinching in your low back when you take a back bend too deep or the choppy breath when you're twisting to far. Have you ever realized you were slouching and then stood up straight and taken a true deep breath – it feels so good. That's your body talking to you, and take it from me – you should listen! Hamstring injuries are no fun, and do not need to happen. It's a beneficial lesson to learn, but a difficult one. Eight months later I still don't feel 100% and that's after two weeks of complete rest plus six months of not even straightening my right leg, on top of physical therapy. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes to avoid having to learn this lesson the hard way.
Injuries in yoga aren't talked about very much because it's not exactly the best way to convince someone to do something. "It's great – you sweat, you breathe, you might even pull your hamstring!" I don't know about you but that doesn't sell me on anything. But the possible injuries should be talked about. The truth is yoga is a physical activity, like running or tennis there are risks. When you challenge your body, whether it be out on the court or in the studio, you need to be aware of those risks.
Turns out hamstring injuries from yoga are pretty common, most of them come from pushing too hard too fast, like mine. In an article about preventing yoga injuries YogaJournal quotes Roger Cole, Ph.D who "names the lower back, knee, and neck as the most prone to injury, followed by the sacroiliac (SI) joint and the origin of the hamstring muscle (where it joins the sitting bone)". It's important that we as students are especially aware of those part of our bodies during practice. If there is pressure or pain in the knee, lower back or neck you should back out of the pose immediately. Here are some examples of riskier poses.
Lotus – extremely challenging for the knees.
Shoulderstand/Headstand – puts most of your weight on the neck.
Seated straight legged forward folds – these put the lower back at risk with the hips grounded.
The hope is whatever pose you're doing, or rather whatever pose the teacher suggests, you are mindful enough to listen to what your body wants to do. If in any class, any studio, the teacher asks you to do something that doesn't feel good in your body please don't do it. Maybe you can avoid an injury by taking a step back, taking a child's pose, or just breathing.
On the other hand sometimes injuries happen. Yes, my ego probably had something to do with my injury, but I'll say it again, it was a beneficial lesson. While my hamstring was healing every step had to be mindful or it would re-injure the muscle. During a yoga practice no matter how much my brain begged me to straighten my legs I knew I would regret it.
For eight months I've been letting my body lead my practice, not my mind. It's been challenging, and frustrating, but I know my practice is better because of it. When I say better I don't mean that I can do a split, because I can hardly touch my toes. But I can hear every whisper of my body and now I actually listen.

Timahawk Survival Tool
With a long list of prepper-oriented inventions in his wake, Tim Ralston's latest, the Timahawk Survival Tool, is also his most capable. It's a full tang fusion of a crowbar with nail puller, a tomahawk with 6-inch blade, and an ADZE hammer head, also doubling as a hoe and axe to replace all of these in your trunk, bug out bag, or survival kit. The 27-inch tool is also made in the USA of 4130 pre-hardened steel with a heat treated axe head and sports a hard custom plastic handle on either side affixed with hardened stainless steel bolts, so it's ready to take as much punishment as it dishes out.

This Friday was pre-planned and packed full of activity. As part of North East Socialist Singers we were invited to sing with our wonderful Musical Director Bethany at an event which was of particular interest to me and my second foray into the previously skirted around world of 'folk' in under a week. (I think it is the image of elbow patches and real ale that has kept me at an interested distance for so long).
I can't remember how I came across Tommy Armstrong (Tanfield's/Stanley's Pitmen Poet) initially. It certainly was in my adulthood and in the days of tapes, as I had a cassette of TA songs which had been recorded in Delves Lane. Years later when I tried to find it on Spotify I could never find the exact recordings (isn't that always the way?) In the 80's/90's the name of TA was known in Stanley as the local council offices were named after him in his honour. I have a vague memory of lyrics being written on walls but I may have landed well and truly in Fantasy Island with that one.
Over the years I have known it was important to keep the name of TA alive and have taught many children the fol-de-lol chorus of Stanley Market. I got to fol-de-lol along to Allen Crawford's recording of two TA songs earlier in the summer. You could say fol-de-lols were my forte. So, last night was duly anticipated by me but was at the close of a long day which also saw me travel into Durham for my Friday choir. I stopped off at Wharton Park in Durham as it's become a place I like to walk through when I am there. Since they took Wilkinsons away (boohoo) I have had to find somewhere other than the Sally Army (good 30 minute filler) to go to pre choir. Oxfam bookshop is a fave haunt of mine but it closes at 5 and if you go in after 4.35 you are almost willed out of the building before you step over the threshold. No one wants to be under pressure when browsing for books so I have knocked that one on the head at that time of day.
As an aside – there is a cafe in Stanley which shuts at 2pm. No way can you call by for a cappuccino after 1.15pm. It's just not tolerated. If you are in there having food the door is locked from the inside at 1.30pm. You are left to shovel down the last slice of corned beef pie in silence with one or two other people who don't know the establishment's rule that dinner time (and yes, I mean dinner) is 11.30am – 1pm. You then have to get the attention of the owner to come and let you out.
So, aside from that imposing building by the riverside, which I do visit regularly also, I have discovered the little gem of a park high above Durham behind the train station. I once talked to some children about it and was telling them about the zip-wire in the park. I was obviously conveying my excitement in my expression and the way I was excitingly telling them about it. I said I hadn't been on it but would one day and take a selfie of myself on it. I will too. I just have to wait until all those pesky kids stop hogging it and the Parky doesn't follow me around with his walkie talkie…
Aside from that, I have been taking a photograph of the same scene every month since June. There is a large frame in the park that I intend to monitor the changing of the seasons through. Hence, dashing up there Friday as it was the last day of September and I needed to capture the scene. When I looked at them at home I realised Kevin was in the July frame and it was a lovely day in the summer. I had just been to a protest outside of County Hall and walked down to meet him. All my frame photos from now until next July will be minus Kevin…
I knew I would need to eat as I had a long evening ahead. As public loos are as difficult to locate in Durham as they are everywhere else I often end up calling into Wetherspoons when I am there. I have even stopped giving the menu a cursory glance and looking around for my 'friends' whilst looking at my watchless wrist, I just brazenly head to the toilets, use the facilities and then head out again looking the bar staff in the eye. Brass neck.
Yesterday, I thought I may actually eat there too as it's cheap and close to where we practise. So, I genuinely did walk in and look at a menu on a table. The food didn't put me off. The people all around me did. There seemed to be some kind of bald headed man convention in full swing and the snippets of conversation – odd words even ('season', 'match', men over 40 with nicknames) were enough to send me heading to the door.
Inevitably, I ended up back at the scene of last week's scone shocker (they didn't warm it through. Really). I wasn't going to be stung by that trick two weeks running though so I ordered a jacket potato. Straightforward. No complex questions about sauces or bread types or anything else to terrify me. And then…the girl behind the counter gave me the THING pictured above next to my coffee cup.
I carried it to my table by its edges. It was some kind of electronic device and was intermittently flashing. In a cafe. I worked out it must be connected to my order somehow. I knew it wasn't a potato. I realised somehow it would be replaced with said potato when the microwave pinged. What I feared of course was how this signalling would occur. Was I in a hospital? Is being paged for your food the thing now? Did I have to watch the damn thing looking for some kind of sign that my food was ready to collect. If so, from where? There didn't appear to be any potato action occurring immediately behind the counter. There followed several long minutes, where I hardly dared take my eyes from the 'thing' and was fraught with the anxiety of how it would let me know 'the jacket potato I didn't really want but I couldn't get a scone because last week they hadn't warmed it through' was ready. Would I need to speak through it???!!! At one point I was ready to slope off sans potato but realised that would be very silly so I held on, frozen with fear.
I had finished my coffee by the time the thing blipped/lit up/almost levitated off the table (by then I would have thought anything was possible) but luckily the waitress was heading over to the source of the racket and blustering diner. I may have shouted 'How do you make it stop?!' but I couldn't be certain on that one. No recollection of how the potato tasted but they had done that obligatory side salad thing and lain atop it was a sachet of SALAD CREAM. Death knell. No going back now.

Daniel, Visual/Creative/Artist/Stylist, New York City
Daniel, in his own words: "For me, being gay was never as much about "coming out" as it was "coming to." To say that I was "in the closet" would imply that I was hiding something about myself. I never lived a double life or purposely lied about who I was. I just finally started having the courage to answer my questions about feelings that I was previously confused by or didn't fully understand. In college, my exposure to the gay community expanded and I realized that it was just like any other community in the sense that there was a place in it for everyone. I began to see that I didn't have to live by a certain set of rules to be a part of it.
In my opinion, sexuality is a very personal thing and everyone has their own story to narrate. I think the biggest mistake that people make is trying to inflict their rules onto someone else's sexuality. I am fortunate enough to have a strong support system of family and friends who do not try to dictate how I live my life. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule and I've had to cut ties with a few naysayers along the way, but every person, gay or straight, will encounter someone at some point who doesn't approve of who they are or what they're doing. I keep my head up by distancing myself from those negative people and surrounding myself with positive people in my life."

I'm going to be installing a new phone outlet in a bedroom. I'm going to tap into an existing phone outlet in another bedroom (the two rooms share a wall) and attach the new wire to the wire in the existing outlet. I know if this was electrical, I'd shut the power off to that outlet, but since it's a phone outlet, do I need to take any similar precautions? I don't want to hurt myself or my phone line. Thanks.
