Rory McIlroy, the world No 1, has been reduced to a support act for the 14-time major winner in Abu Dhabi, writes John McAuley.
Tiger Woods is still the main attraction
And so he is back. Note "he" and not "they". It does a wild disservice to Rory McIlroy, the current and deserving world No 1, that he does not represent the headline act for January's Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, but in these parts the galleries, golf fans and otherwise, flock to see Tiger Woods.
The conveyor belt of major titles has ceased, and his young rival from Northern Ireland suggests it is a shiny, new landscape, yet the man with the best active CV in the game still puts posteriors on seats or, more significantly, millions on television viewing figures.
Woods, of course, is no stranger to the country – the Omega Dubai Desert Classic was a familiar UAE haunt – although when he arrived earlier this year for his maiden appearance at the National Course we wanted to see if the long road to redemption was nearing its end.
The 36 year old had only just returned to the top 50 in the rankings, revealed the aches and pains had disappeared for the first time in eight years and, on the back of victory at the Chevron World Challenge, tempered, somewhat, the questions surrounding his ability to win again following his personal turmoil.
Against a field that constituted the second strongest in European Tour history, Woods was beaten to the Falcon Trophy by Robert Rock, an Englishman of modest makings, who summed up "as nothing much" his previous contribution to the game.
However, Woods has since triumphed three times – trusted tournaments in The Invitational, The Memorial and the AT&T National – climbed back to the world No 2 spot and accrued more than US$6 million (Dh22m) in prize money alone.
That common conjecture suggests the American is receiving half that amount, or more than the 2012 event's entire purse, simply to turn up in Abu Dhabi should not go unnoticed.
Yet, if true, that is the price it seems Brand Tiger, irrespective of its dimming by scandal off the course and scramble on it, can command.
With a sportsman of his stature a storyline is always readily available, and his burgeoning battle with McIlroy certainly imbues Abu Dhabi with a sense of the spectacular.
The two golfing gunslingers were partners during this year's opening rounds, but this is different. Woods is back. "They" will be eager to find out to what extent come January in the desert.

Once open a time;I noticed I stole another's heart unconsiously :( She showed her intention and even told me how she loved me but I didn't see anything attractive to me so I rejected not to hurt anymore and I broke all of my connection with her by thinking this would more help her. I heard she was so sad;i felt sad profoundly because she was a very very nice person and a real friend (6 years ago). When i look back my memories i have some stuff like that :( I never wish to hurt a wise lady without knowing and giving hopes... I guess this is a kind of crime also :)00|00|0

A new report by Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America reveals that Tennessee is tied with North Carolina ranking third in the nation for most school shootings. Since the Newtown mass shooting two years ago, almost 100 school shootings have occurred across the nation creating a lock down culture pervasive in American classrooms. The report is available at everytown.org/schoolshootings.
Since the Newtown tragedy on December 14, 2012, every town has kept a list of school shootings in America – any time a firearm is discharged inside a school building or on school or campus grounds, as documented in publicly reported news accounts, there have been 95 school shootings in 33 states around the country, including fatal and nonfatal assaults, suicides, and unintentional shootings – an average of nearly one a week. The list includes all school shootings – some media outlets exclude events that include gang violence, unintentional shootings and suicides. The report reveals that Tennessee has had seven school shootings since Newtown – the third-highest number of school shootings in the country.
"Normally I'm proud of being from Tennessee, but not today," said Carol Frazier, Volunteer with the Tennessee Chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. "One school shooting is too many – seven is unacceptable. As a mom, I demand that our Tennessee representatives learn to stand up to the gun lobby and keep kids safe in schools."
The analysis of school shootings since Newtown revealed several trends including minors obtaining guns from home and the escalation of violence when a gun is present in a situation:
- Of the K-12 school shootings in which the shooter's age was known, 70 percent (28 of 40 incidents) were perpetrated by minors. Among these K-12 school shootings where it was possible to determine the source of the firearm, nearly two-thirds of the shooters (10 of 16) obtained their guns from home.
- In 35 shootings— more than a third of all incidents — at least one person was shot after an argument or confrontation escalated and a gun was on hand.
Other key findings include:
- The 95 school shootings occurred in 33 states across the country. Fifty-two percent of the shootings took place at K-12 schools and 48 percent took place on college or university campuses.
- Seven of the 95 shootings occurred in Tennessee – tied with North Carolina for the third-highest state rate in the study.
- These school shootings resulted in 45 deaths and 78 non-fatal gunshot injuries. In 32 percent of these incidents at least one person died.
- In 65 incidents (68 percent), the perpetrator(s) intentionally injured or killed another person with a gun; of these, 23 incidents resulted in at least one homicide. In 16 incidents, the shooter attempted or completed suicide — in six incidents after shooting someone else. Six shootings were purely accidental in nature. In 14 other incidents, a gun was discharged but no one was injured.
- Over the last two years an average of two school shootings took place at K-12 schools each month.
During the last three months alone, there were 17 school shootings including a single week in which there were five incidents in five separate states.
The new analysis and video were released recently at a press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Elected leaders, gun violence survivors and gun safety advocates were in attendance, including: Senator Richard Blumenthal; Senator Chris Murphy; Congressman Mike Thompson; Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty; Shannon Watts, Founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America; Pamela Wright, mother of Tyrone Lawson, killed in the crossfire of a gun fight after a high school basketball game in January 2013 in Chicago; and Ashley Cech, daughter of a Sandy Hook Elementary School teacher.
The organization seeks to close loopholes in gun laws that allow individuals to purchase guns at gun shows with no background check thus circumventing the law that requires background checks.
"Students and teachers shouldn't have to fear entering their classrooms each morning," stated Rep. Elizabeth Esty. "As elected officials, we have the responsibility to keep our communities safe. These numbers reveal a disturbing reality and reinforce the need for common sense gun reforms that respect the 2nd amendment while also working to save lives like expanding background checks to all commercial gun sales, closing the gun show loophole, and cracking down on the trafficking of illegal guns.
Among the changes members of Everytown for Gun Safety is a change in media outlets that fail to report gang related shootings or suicides. Among those encouraging that change in designation is Pamela Wright whose son, Tyrone, was killed in the crossfire of a gun fight after a high school basketball game in in Chicago in January 2013.
"Our community was forever changed by the events of December 14, 2012," said Ashley Cech, the daughter of Sandy Hook Librarian Yvonne Cech. "We owe it to our nation's students to find ways to make educational institutions safe places. Keeping guns from people who should not have them to begin with."
Moms Demand Action chapters across the country are hosting events in more than 90 cities across the country this month to connect current and new members to discuss ways they can commit to helping prevent gun violence in 2015. Participants will also create "care cards" for survivors in the Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety survivor network. These cards will be delivered to survivors on important anniversaries throughout the coming year to show continued support and dedication to this effort.

Do you remember the Iraq War of 2003? Remember those heady days of euphoria when it ended two months later, with only 139 American lives lost? Journey back with me — TIME-LIFE style, if you will — to the scene of our triumph: "Chris Matthews on MSNBC called Bush a 'hero' and boomed, 'He won the war. He was an effective commander. Everybody recognizes that, I believe, except a few critics.' PBS' Gwen Ifill said Bush was 'part Tom Cruise, part Ronald Reagan.' On NBC, Brian Williams gushed, 'The pictures were beautiful. It was quite something to see the first-ever American president on a — on a carrier landing. This must be very meaningful to the United States military.'"
Well, today marks the five-year anniversary of our glorious victory, the day that "splendid little war" came to a close. Among those honoring the day, and the remarkable achievement of our Commander-in-Chief:

The new boy, Tom, was leaving. This came as a surprise to Rose and Jake. He'd only been there a season. Tom worked with Rose and Jake as pirates. The first thing he'd said to them was that Jake was "a very apt name". The second thing he said was "Shiver me timbers shipmates, that coffee's bad." Rose liked Tom. He liked making people laugh. It made a change from Jake. Lately, Jake could be very intense.
The three of them worked five shows per day through the summer. They were on at twelve and then one, two, three and four. The shows were twenty minutes long. The stage was by the side of the lake. It was designed to look like the wreck of a pirate ship. Rose and Jake and Tom sang and danced. There were acrobatics. In the finale they used a trampoline. At the end of every show, Jake used to end up in the water. Then they swapped and it was Tom.
Tom told Rose and Jake his decision over a Rib Meal from the Princess's Restaurant in the Fairytale Castle. The Fairytale Castle smelt of animal fat. Tom suggested they eat there as a joke, but he wasn't smiling when he did. The three of them sat and watched the Dragon Ride, listened to the screams of children. Reward Yourself! it said on the arch above the drawbridge.
"Mate, I've got to go," said Tom.
"Why?" said Jake.
"Oh come on. Look around you."
Jake wasn't going to look around. He knew the place. There was a Medieval Kingdom, an Alien Planet, a Wild West Town, an Aztec World. There was candy floss, hot dogs, rotisserie chicken, slush. He knew the rides. The lake. The muzak or instructions that came from the loudspeakers on poles. He knew the games where you had to throw a basketball through a specially-narrowed hoop. You won a cuddly toy.
"All this," said Tom, "it's just horrible. It's getting me down."
"I know what you mean," said Rose.
"What do you mean?" said Jake. "It's not real enough for you? Or too real?"
After Tom left the restaurant, Rose and Jake walked back to their rooms. They were staying in the staff quarters of the theme park's hotel. They walked through the theme park.
"What was that for?" said Rose. "What's got into you?"
"He's a prick," said Jake. "Pays his wages doesn't it? The fuck does he want?"
"You used to think like that."
"Yeah but it's too easy isn't it? So it's a theme park. Big deal. We're actors. Life's a theme park. Nothing's real, everything's real, blah, blah blah. Get over it."
Jake and Rose spend the evening apart. Later they are in Rose's bedroom. They have been fucking for three seasons. Last year Rose asked Jake if he loved her and he said "If I get this wrong, does it mean we're going to stop having sex?" and they both laughed. It had been the first time in a while.
Tonight, the night that Tom has told them he's leaving, Rose says, "Look. Do you mind? If we don't… You know. If we just hold each other?"
And to her surprise, Jake says, "No. No, that's okay."
Charlie Hill is a writer from Birmingham. His short stories have appeared in Ambit, Stand and Litro. His first novel was described in the Observer as "rich in wry social commentary but also funny and linguistically dexterous… an inventive work that shows much promise." His second is due out in November 2013.

Welcome to our current NUS Connect website. We are in the process of moving content to our new BETA website. We will be using both websites until July 2015. For more information and to give us feedback as we develop the new site visit this page.
The Learner Satisfaction Survey continues to give students the opportunity to give honest feedback about their learning experience. NUS believes that the views and the experiences of students should be central to college quality, and improvement processes.
NUS believes that there is no feedback more valuable than that provided by students themselves.
The Learner Satisfaction Survey as part of the Further Education Public Information Framework and FE Choices not only continues to give students a voice, but also aims to inform their choice.
NUS continues to work with the Skills Funding Agency, students' unions and providers to develop engagement with these tools.
This hub is designed to give you information, advice and ideas about how you and your students' union could, and should, engage with the Survey and other feedback mechanisms within your college.
There is information about survey site, accessing and analysing results, as well as information about how best to promote the survey in your college. There are also examples of good practice from a growing number of students' unions in the Case Studies section.
The profile of the Survey continues to develop and colleges and other providers are now placing more emphasis on it so they can generate higher response rates and improve satisfaction. This is something that students' unions could, and should, be doing too.
If you need any help, have any queries or would like to talk to someone about the survey in your college or provider then please get in touch by emailing email@example.com
The 2013/14 survey has now closed. Results will be published on the FE Choices website towards the end of 2014.

I love women, and I enjoy fish, but for some reason I hate mermaids. They're some of the most horrifying of animal-human hybrids. I mean, they're scaly. And they smell — well — like fish! I don't care how good they are at singing and swimming and strategically arranging their lengthy hair, they're gross little monsters.
Yet their legend endures. We still get slurred reports from drunken sailors who spot them in the seven seas. And little kiddies everywhere believe in Ariel, the so-called "Little Mermaid" (who isn't little enough to step on, unfortunately). But get this straight: if mermaids existed, we'd see dead ones floating belly up in the sea once in awhile. And there'd be plenty of beached mercorpses washing up on the shores or getting hauled up in tuna nets every summer.
But for a moment, let's pretend they're immortal. Let's pretend that the icon of the mermaid — that seductive siren who is half-fish, half-woman — is a reality. And let's pretend that she doesn't get as slimy as oily oyster guts from scooting around in the silt and sand all the damned time. Even then, I've got problems.
First off: they're always topless bombshells without any legs. You don't have to be a feminist to see that this is clearly a male fantasy. Why? Because they can't run away.
And if they aren't male fantasies, then why are the top halves of mermaids always the human part? What if they were giant walking fish heads instead? Even the most committed of "leg men" might have difficulties with a breastless bass. Besides, the creatures really should be human on the bottom half. It makes more sense. The kick would make them better swimmers. Plus they'd actually be able to breathe, since the top is the half that has the gills. And, well, let's just say I just think it would be more efficient for mating.
Or let's take it a step further: what if only the left half were fish and the right side human? What then, Popeye?
And even with the traditional organization of parts: Why is the lower half always a long flappy green whale's tail? How about a half-woman, half-jellyfish, oozing weirdness beneath her lovely torso? Or half-sting ray, her bottom as flat as a flesh blanket, undulating in the waves before she covers herself up, blushing at your approach…and stings you when you make your move?
And, like, what's the "mer" in mermaid stand for, anyway? It can't be that stuff the wise men brought to the baby Jesus, can it? And are mermaids really "maids"? And if so, do they do windows, or just portholes? A mermaid in a French maid outfit, feather duster in fin. That, I'd like to see.
Here's another question: If I only ate their fish tails, would it still be considered cannibalism?
Okay, so we've established that mermaids are weird male fantasies and even weirder sex objects. So if sex is involved, how do these chicks of the sea reproduce, anyway? No, I'm not asking because I want to spawn. I'm curious how the whole species began. It's probably the usual origin story: a human and a fish mated and — voila — Darryl Hannah was magically born. Fine. I don't want to imagine the details, but fine. But then how does the species perpetuate after the first mutant is born? What comes after the initial bestial sin? Would a merman and a mermaid have to meet to breed? Wouldn't that be incest? Is it still incest when eggs are deposited and fertilized in their weird fishy ways? Or is the whole species sustained by all those randy sailors out there? (And if you were a mermaid, would you still love your father, knowing he was some sick kind of fish fetishist? Wouldn't that kind of swear you off the whole "man" thing, altogether? And would the other fish be repulsed by your flesh if you turned to them? Something doesn't add up for me here.)
Now I'm sure there are some fantasy fans reading this who are thinking, "What about all the other merfolk, like mermen, you sexist pig?" To them I would simply say: hey, if even the mermaids would rather be with human beings that those of their own kind, then there's really gotta be something wrong with them. Besides, without the beard and the triton in their hand, I'm not sure how you can tell if they're male anyway. For all you know, they're really transgendered merherms. Especially the ones with the well-groomed beards artfully cascading down to cover their breasts.
Whatever their sexual orientation, There's very little romance in Neptune's bachelor pad. Fish spawn and reproduce in all sorts of weird, gelid, and inhuman ways. Eggs are often fertilized externally, in a method akin to drizzling caviar with hot sauce. Speaking of which — if there were merfolk, you can be sure that they'd eat their own young, though roe wouldn't be as exotic a delicacy as it is for us. No? Too abhorrent? Well, then, perhaps in merfolk culture, human embryos would be all the rage at the fancy dinners. And can you imagine the price of mermaid caviar! Or the flavor!
Give me chicken eggs instead any day. But don't even get me started on the henmaids. Their eggs actually kick and squirm…and peck.

Affirmations are statements going beyond the reality of the present into the creation of the future through the words you use in the now. – Louise L. Hay
I truly believe that our words shape and create the world we live in and the life we experience. I use positive affirmations to help shape my world and improve the quality of my life experiences. Positive affirmations are declarations that provide emotional support and encouragement. They can also help to decrease negative thoughts, motivate, and continually move you towards your goals. Affirmations can help you to respond better to setbacks and overcome obstacles. Affirmations also regulate stress levels and help you to remain positive and focused.
Some affirmations might change depending on your particular goal. For example, when writing my book, Trinity of Coaching: God, You, and Your Life Coach, I created affirmations specific to the creation of my book and the desired results regarding its completion and future success.
Many of my affirmations are based on biblical scriptures, which help to increase my faith in God and His ability to help me accomplish all that He created me to achieve. Below are some suggestions on how create your own positive affirmations to help jump start your 2015.
- Make your affirmations personal – When creating your affirmations be sure to use the words, "I", and "me". Remember, the focus of your affirmation is on you and your desires. Avoid creating affirmations based on goals attained by someone else. Keep the focus on you!
- Make your affirmations positive – Avoid using negative words and emotions. Instead, use words that are positive and create a positive image in your subconscious.
- Focus on the present – Use statements that begin with "I am" or "I will".
- Be specific – General vague affirmations will not deliver the results you desire.
- Keep your affirmations realistic – Your affirmation should be attainable and practical.
- Be selective in sharing your affirmations with others – If you do decide to share them with others, be selective choosing only people who will support and champion your goal. Avoid people with limiting beliefs and negative perspectives.

TimingEdit on Github
While some applications target a single timezone, some others target to many different timezones. To satisfy such needs and centralize datetime operations, Abp provides common infrastructure for datetime operations.
Clock is the main class used to work with DateTime values. It defines the following static properties/methods:
- Now: Gets current time according to current provider.
- Kind: Gets DateTimeKind of current provider.
- SupportsMultipleTimezone: Gets a value indicates that current provider can be used for applications need to multiple timezones.
- Normalize: Normalizes/converts given DateTime upon current provider.
So, instead of using DateTime.Now, we are using Clock.Now, which abstracts it:
DateTime now = Clock.Now;
Clock uses clock providers inside it. There are three types of built-in clock providers:
- ClockProviders.Unspecified (UnspecifiedClockProvider): This is the default clock provider and behaives just like DateTime.Now. It acts as you don't use Clock class at all.
- ClockProviders.Utc (UtcClockProvider): Works in UTC datetime. DateTime.UtcNow for Clock.Now. Normalize method converts a given datetime to utc datetime and set it's kind to DateTimeKind.UTC. It supports multiple timezones.
- ClockProviders.Local (LocalClockProvider): Works in Local computer's time. Normalize method converts a given datetime to local datetime and set it's kind to DateTimeKind.Local.
You can set Clock.Provider in order to use a different clock provider:
Clock.Provider = ClockProviders.Utc;
This is generally done at the beginning of an application (proper to do it Application_Start in a web application).
Client Side
Clock can be used on the client side by abp.clock object in javascript. When you set Clock.Provider on the server side, ABP automatically sets value of abp.clock.provider on the client side.
Time Zones
ABP defines a setting named Abp.Timing.TimeZone (TimingSettingNames.TimeZone constant) for storing selected timezone of host, tenant and user. ABP assumes that value of timezone setting is a valid Windows timezone name. It also defines a timezone mapping file to convert a Windows Timezone to IANA timezone since some of the common libraries are using IANA timezone id. UtcClockProvider must be used in order to support multiple timezones. Because if UtcClockProvider is used, all datetime values will be stored in UTC and all datetimes will be sent to clients in UTC format. Then on the client side we can convert UTC datetime to user's timezone by using user's current timezone setting.
Client Side
ABP creates an javascript object named abp.timing.timeZoneInfo which contains timezone information for current user. This information contains Windows and IANA timezone ids and some extra information for windows timezone info. This information can be used to make client side datetime convertions and showing a datetime to user in his/her timezone.
Binders and Converters
- ABP automatically normalizes DateTimes received from clients in MVC, Web API and ASP.NET Core applications, based on the current clock provider.
- ABP automatically normalized DateTimes received from database based on the current clock provider, when EntityFramework or NHibernate modules used.
If UTC clock provider is used, then all DateTimes stored in database assumed as UTC values, and all DateTimes received from clients assumed as UTC unless it's explicitly specified.

Bon Iver first became famous by decamping to the woods and making an album of pristine, heartrending acoustic folk. So it's perhaps not totally surprising that Justin Vernon, who created the project, might have some misgivings about the direction Apple has taken in its approach to digital music in recent years.
In a series of tweets, Vernon offered up a genuine lament for Apple Music and the current streaming economy. But as befits a frequent Kanye West collaborator and Grammy winner, it's not for the obvious or expected reasons.
"Don't need to read this. its true," he wrote, over a picture of Apple's CEO Tim Cook announcing its new Apple Music platform. "The company that made me believe in companies, and not joking: PEOPLE is no more."
But as he went on, it became clear that Vernon was actually a deep and committed Apple fan who has felt increasingly let down by the company's music products.
And when a music platform bums you out — the one thing, above all else, that the evangelists of digital streaming claim to be able to do right — the music actually suffers for it, both for fan and artist alike. Vernon sent out a link to this FACT Magazine article outlining how Apple Music might be a raw deal for indie labels, then discussed how Apple products had lately been turning him off of music.
"[B]een thinking this for a while. ironically i think its iTunes why I've listened to less music / 2yrs. bad syncing/platform," he added. "but seriously, i hope HATE isn't the message. Just literally wish that the humans who had the power, USED it to literally make things better."
"iDVD 2, iTunes 3, iMovie 2.1 i remember the computer teaching ME how to use it, by having such amazing design.
Vernon also said he was an avid Spotify user, but to no one's surprise, analog still wins in the end for him. "I've been loving spotify, for the record. have to import gems I've had on mp3 for years… and i think cd's +lp's and tapes are still better."

This time of year is the perfect chance for unlicensed companies like Leaf to go nuts with being first to market. With a product already out like Leaf Metal Draft, they have shown that 2014 is already looking better than a horrendous 2013. Today they released a second product in 2014 Leaf Originals, which is fashioned after some of the earliest leaf cards around. The product is all on card, and looks great, only to further capitalize on a young season so far.
2014 Leaf Originals Johnny Manziel Auto RC
2014 Leaf Originals Sammy Watkins Yellow Parallel Mini Auto /25
2014 Leaf Originals Jadeveon Clowney Yellow Parallel Mini Auto /25
2014 Leaf Originals Teddy Bridgewater Auto Mini RC
My only complaint is that the set does get a bit repetitive if you open a lot, but with 5 autographs a box, there is a big chance to pull something nice. Leaf is building off their very popular Originals Wrestling product, and I was excited to see how it came through with football. I had a chance to bust a box today and was lucky enough to pull two cards out of 25 (Louis Nix and a scrub), plus a crazy nice Johnny Manziel mini auto. I was impressed by the painted style approach that matches the original set from 1948 and 1960, and it transfered even better to the mini cards you get two per box.
Leaf has also included what looks like another mystery style card, in the Hot Rookie Memorabilia Redemptions, which is already garnering a lot of speculation on what they could be. Knowing Bryan Gray, they should be big hits, and possibly another card like the Manziel from 2013.
If I am an unlicensed company, this is my time to release all the big products I have in my arsenal. Because the values drop so drastically when the NFL stuff hits, I want to make as big an impact as I possibly can. Leaf has already announced that Trinity will be back for a second year, and I am happy to see that they are continuing their commitment to hard signed cards. Originals is a great idea to bring more of that type of content to the early part of the year, and we still have more to go.

Asian American and Pacific Islander athletes wound up winning eight medals for the United States total of 121 medals during the 17 days of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The Olympics concluded Sunday with a Carnaval-like parade with athletes from all the countries gathering in the middle of the field celebrating the event held every four years.
- Nathan Adrian: gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay, Gold in the 4×100 medley relay, bronze medals in the 50m freestyle and the 100m frestyle

Paige McPherson, a bronze medal winner in taekwondo at the 2012 Games, was upset in the first round but she remains America's strong bet to medal in the future.
Though the badminton and table tennis teams were blanked, the young athletes gained valuable international experience and can only improve by the time the 2020 Olympics in Japan.

When they were touring together, the boys always used to play hacky sack together backstage before their performances.
Even though it's been many years since the gang performed together, when they reunited for their VMA performance, they brought back their pre-show ritual and we've got the video!
It's so fun to see all the guys together again and it looks like they haven't missed a beat--although we have to admit, Justin Timberlake looks a little disinterested. Maybe he was just nervous about his solo performance?
Do you guys think JT looks a little aloof?

The modernist minimalist movement of the 20th century led us all to believe that the past was dead. The future they assured us was straight lines, order and an almost slavish adherence to 'less was more' or some such drivel. Thank goodness for the pioneers of industrial vintage, the demise of British industry and the rise of the creed of recycling.

Two days before the race, Honda invited me on a backstage tour of the event. Like last year, it was awesome.
But unlike last year, this year's tour included a stop at the security HQ come ON. I asked so many questions, the tour guide walked away.
View of the Indy from the command centre.
This is what keeps the race going,
because no security, no race.
Imagine securing 25,000 people, many of whom are drinking. And do it all in a way that's un-obtrusive, so as to not create panic and alarm.
For more auto-oriented stuff from the race, here's the tag – Honda Indy.
I purposefully waited to blog these photos, lest I accidentally reveal something of value.
Race teams – choose better WiFi network names; security through obscurity.


text: I recently bought a 30 inch all gas basic Viking with a newer feature --automatic reignition. Upon installation we noticed a crooked door and then upon using it the fact that it didnt work properly.--the ignition was cycling rapidly or not coming back on, the fan didnt work etc They came and serviced in twice and then the third repairman said it was damaged and we would get a new stove. The new one finally came and was also bent with the door out of alignment. We refused it but we need a new stove. We are not serious cooks but want a high end stove for resale in a few years however I need reliable as well. Any recommendations would be most appreciated.

Placebo sit at this weird intersection between key reference posts The Cure, Depeche Mode and U2.
The first time they came close to cracking the code stateside was on 1998's stellar Without You, I'm Nothing featuring the singles 'Pure Morning,' 'Every You, Every Me,' and the title track (which features a guest vocal by none other than David Bowie). The second time was on 2006's Meds featuring contributions from both Alison Mosshart (The Kills, Dead Weather) and Michael Stipe (REM) and their last North American tour with a featured slot on Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution.
The albums between and after have ranged from solid (Black Market Music, 2000), to mediocre (Sleeping with Ghosts, 2003) to carefully polished crap (Battle for the Sun, 2009).
Their latest opens with the chiming title track that traverses between the bands creative strengths – great pop-rock songwriting amidst a beefy keyboard line and jangly guitar lines and vocalist Brian Molko's one-of-a-kind voice. 'Scene of the Crime, ' features more keyboard beneath a hand-clap opening verse before a sparse beat is laid down. Again the strength here is is Molko's vocals and lyrics, with a wry chorus that states, 'making it is overrated…'
The first unofficial single is 'Too Many Friends,' — a commentary on social media and what role technology plays upon our lives today. It features a great line: 'My computer thinks I"m gay/what's the difference anyway?/when all the people do everyday/is stare into a phone?' It features a more guitar-heavy tone than the first two tracks.
Placebo return to their signature strength – the ballad – on 'Hold On To Me.' The circular guitar line is both reminiscent of 80's New Wave and entirely within Placebo's wheelhouse – especially when a wave of strings take over and Molko goes into a spoken word segment to end the track.
'Rob The Bank,' is my least favorite cut. It's too reminiscent of the sloppy work produced on Battle For The Sun. At its core, it's supposed to be a rocker following a ballad but it comes off as a free-word association with no meaningful social commentary. 'A Million Little Pieces,' recalls Sleeping With Ghosts – a perfect blend of piano, Molko's lyricism/vocals and an underlying rock vibe with both plugged-in and acoustic strumming. I may have to revisit earlier albums but I seriously feel Steve Forrest's drumming is so watered down. His predecessor, Steve Hewitt, seemed so much more in tune with Molko and Oldsal.
The gritty 'Exit Wounds,' follows and snakes it's way to almost six minutes (note: the second half of the album is considerably longer running than the first half). It's a gut-wrenching tale of losing someone to another that takes an almost stalker-like bend ('…as he's sliding into you/does it set your sweat on fire?' and 'I would hover/while he's making love to you'). The middle of the track features keyboards that add to the sinister tone of the heartbreak involved, before an almost Cure-like guitar line in the outro.
Rock and roll comes back to the forefront with 'Purify,' and serves as a key straightforward tune in between the previous two tracks and the final two tracks of the album. A rollicking set of guitar lines above a rumbling bass line which is actually given center stage mid-track plays again to Placebo's strengths.
I wish the band would have 'reconfigured,' the last two tracks. 'Begin The End,' is a beautiful track that should have properly closed out the album. It takes a gentler approach to the end of a relationship: 'Don't misconstrue/or misapprehend/there's nothing left/no fortress to defend/and tonight's the night that we begin/the end…' It features a positively Edge-like guitar shuffle and for once Forrest's understated drumming fits the tone.
Instead we close with 'Bosco,' – this is not the first time Molko has explored co-dependent relationships. Meds juxtaposed it's final tracks and got the mix right with 'In The Cold Light of Morning,' and "Song to Say Goodbye.' 'Bosco,' is a good track, just not the appropriate closer.
Placebo are still moving forward, which I've got to give them credit for, especially because I'm a life-long fan. Loud Like Love, to it's credit, is no Battle for the Sun. To it's detriment, even its strengths ('Hold On To Me,' 'Purify,' 'Begin The End,') are shells of past successes. A pleasant rock album in a pretty solid year all around for music. My sentimental factor probably factors into perhaps a higher grade than is deserved…
Grade: B-

His fix worked on my phone using OXP-002. What seems to be the problem then? How did you modify the values of your build.prop? Through modifying the ROM's ZIP before installing or through phone?
People being impatient on the camera, just stop posting and wait. O better yet, help the devs find fixes.

Wonder what I do most weekends? Well my boy toy and I like to go out and have some naughty fun. Sometimes we enjoy shocking some innocent people or giving them an experience like they have never had. Recently I had been talking with a woman online. She was Latina and very interested in having a girl/girl encounter so that her husband could watch. My boyfriend saw her profile and wanted to have a shot at her. Since I'm really not that Bisexual I only agreed that we should meet them at a bar and find out if we thought she might be willing to try her first BBC. While at the bar, her husband asked me if I might share my boyfriend with his wife. I told him we could arrange for that to happen. At the bar, she even gave my boyfriend a little squeeze that her husband didn't see. She was more willing than her husband even knew.
Well we drove back to their house. I was relieved when her husband told me that he was a cuckold and just wanted to take pictures. I had no desire to swap and sleep with him. He had no idea that I had a website until the night was done. As I said, I'm not totally into women, but she was beautiful and my boy toy was dirty talking and told me to make sure I got her wet. I didn't know on the drive over that she had already given him a quick blowjob and she said she needed his big cock. Oh my, we were corrupting this innocent couple!

The Protestant Reformation
The Protestant Reformation was a religious movement of the 16th century that began as an attempt to reform the Roman Catholic Church and resulted in the creation of Protestant churches.
The main individuals who challenged papal authority:
-Martin Luther
-John Calvin
- Henry VIII
The English Reformation
Started with the reign of Henry VIII who wanted to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon, after she failed to produce a male heir.
He would then marry Ann Boleyn.
However, the Roman Catholic church did not support divorce.
The pope would excommunicate him if he announced his divorce.
He tried to make a special appeal to the pope so he might get a special "
Papal Dispensation
It meant that the pope would agree to the divorce because Henry was the King of England & it wouldn't affect the way the Catholic Church banned divorce for others.
The pope still refused and by 1533 he ordered the Archbishop of Canterbury to grant him the divorce.
Henry then places himself as Supreme Head of the Church by an
Act of Parliament
in 1534.
Barely any opposition; the vast bulk of the population was angry with the Catholic church because the felt they were being used as a source of money.
Response of the Catholic Church to the reformer's demands.
Leaders of Catholic Church were both surprised and frightened.
Princes of Germany supported Luther and resisted the Catholic Church. This led to the Catholic movement.
1545: Leaders of Catholic Church gather at Trent, Italy.
Chelsey Mora and Sabrina Barot
Born in Eisleben, Germany in 1483.
Interested in monastic life but his father wanted him to be a lawyer.
July 1505: Luther got caught in a violent thunderstorm where a lightning bolt nearly struck him down.
"A sign from God."
Turned his back on law and entered an Augustinian monastery.
1512: Received his doctorate and became a professor of biblical studies.
Martin Luther
Luther Questions the Catholic Church
In the early 16th century Europe, some theologians and scholars were beginning to question the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
Translations of original texts such as the Bible and the writings of Augustine became available due to printing press.
Augustine (340-430)
influenced Luther's belief which would later form the basis of Protestantism.
This led to the
95 Theses
: Commited the idea that salvation could be reached through faith and by divine grace only. Luther also objected to the corrupt practice of selling indulgences.
"Disputation on the Power & Efficacy of Indulgences."
On October 31, 1517 Luther defiantly nailed a copy of his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church.
The 95 Theses in Depth
Was written a humble academic tone; It was questioning rather than accusing.
Luther's central idea:
God intended believers to seek repentence & that
alone (not deeds) would lead to salvation.
The Bible is the central source of religious authority.
July 1520: Pope Leo X issued a
papal bull
(a public decree) that condemned Luther's propositions as heretical & gave him 120 days to recant.
Luther refused & on January 3, 1521 he was excommunicated.
April 17, 152l: Luther appeared before the
Diet of Worms
in Germany and refused to recant.
May 25th: Holy Roman emperor Charles V signed an edict declaring that his writing be burned.
John Calvin
Born in Picardy, France in
Originally studied theology at the University of Paris but his father wanted him to study civil law.
However, his father died in 1531 and he decided to continue his studies in theology.
Calvin also studied Greek at College de France in Paris in 1531.
Luther's Later Years
"Sudden Conversion"
1533: Calvin experiences a sudden and unexpected conversion to Protestantism, brought on by God.
1536: Published the
Institutes of the Christian Religion
1536: Went to Geneva to further spread Protestantism and Calvinism
He lectured, preached, and wrote commentaries and treatises on Calvinism until his death on May 27, 1564
Geneva was now called the "second Rome" because of Calvin
By 1521 the reform movement that was initiated in Wittenberg had grown beyond his influence.
No longer a theological cause; It became political as other leaders stepped up to lead the reform.
Near the end of his life his views became more radical as he pronounced the pope the Antichrist.
He advocated for the expulsions of Jews (anti-Semetic) from Germany and OK'd polygamy based on the practice of the patriarchs in the Old Testament.
So basically his writings were responsible for fractionalizing the Catholic Church and sparking the Protestant Reformation.
The Puritans
English Calvinists in the late 16th and 17th centuries
worked towards religious, moral and societal reforms
migrated to America to escape religious persecution
Henry's Dissolution
Henry wanted to shut down the monasteries
Monks were fat, lazy and corrupt
Monasteries had wealth and land
The Crown would gather the wealth acquired from the monasteries
Henry's Children
Mary I - Converted England to Catholicism, persecuted Protestants, "Bloody Mary"
Elizabeth I - Made England Protestant again, tolerated other religions, "Elizabethan Age"
Council of Trent
Convened by Pope Paul III in 1545, lasted for 18 years.
Aim: to restore the superiority of the Roman Catholic Church.
Decrees were issued covering every aspect of Church authority
chastity of priests, monastic reform, Pope as a superior leader
The Jesuits/Society of Jesus
Founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1534
Aggressively supported the Catholic doctrine
Licensed "for the care of souls in life and for teaching and preaching the faith."
Sent by the Catholic Church to "win back lost souls"
Works Cited
The theological system of John Calvin that develops Luther's doctrine of justification by faith alone and emphasizes the grace of God and predestination.
"God subdued my soul to docility by a sudden conversion"

And some things just really won't make sense. Like a nod to an obscure cultural situation that even the natives aren't likely to remember.
I wouldn't want the Japanese to have to listen to some joke about gespacho and beer milkshakes, so why would you want to listen to something from them like that?
The problem is that NISA went as far as replacing some references that in fact are probably better known in the Western side than in Japan... And even then some jokes would translate properly as-is due to not relying on wordplay or references or anything like that, and NISA goes as far as replacing those too. In fact, I think NISA doesn't leave any reference intact. And then there are the cases where NISA decides to add its own stuff where there was none.
At least not as bad as certain company that just asks for a vague idea of what's going on and then writes a completely new script from scratch. They aren't much into RPGs these days though.
PS: for the record, honorifics can be localized well, if you take into account the context. It's probably that things like -san and -chan would be left out once idiom is taken into account, but -sama is likely to get translated to something. It's not like honorifics are exclusive to Japanese, it's just that it has many more honorifics than Western languages.
