Color lemon yellow with dark yellow shadow. Muscat smell ,incense, basil and citrus and strawberries. Full body. Good tickling in the palate, good balanced. In the mouth nice flavor of fruit and spices. Declared as a dry but it seems that some sweetens exist in background. Long, tasty finish with a little crunchy acid.
What else ? It does not matter whether we're talking about the year 2008 or 2015, or of those between, it is one of ours favorite white wine. The wine that will win you over with its directness and charm. Wine which you can always come back because it is always different and yet stay the same. Masterpiece.

Reign of assassins (Jian yu) 2010
When John Woo returned to the roots and wanted to direct some Wuxia movie, everybody assumed it would be good, and the end result was another masterpiece work.

Sincerest recommendation for the wine and the movie, this 2 masterpieces, together or individually..

Sex technology also called sextech, is technology, and technology-driven ventures, designed to enhance, innovate and disrupt in every area of human sexuality and human sexual experience.[1] The term is associated with an advancement of the Digital Revolution from 2010 and its impact on society and culture; at this point, Internet makes up more than 25 percent of the world's population.[clarification needed] Mobile communication has also become very important, as nearly 70 percent of the world's population owns a mobile phone.[2] This evolution of technology in daily life and social organization has led to the fact that the modernization of information and communication processes has become the driving force of sociocultural evolution.[3] While still nascent, Sextech has seen a recent boom in mainstream acceptance, due to a big push from female-led firms in the space. Notable individuals include Stephanie Alys from MysteryVibe, Cindy Gallop from MLNP, Polly Rodriguez from UnBound, Kate Moyle from Pillow Play, Dr Kate Devlin from Goldsmiths University and journalists including Alix Fox, Nichi Hodgson, Rebecca Newman, Gigi Engle, Bryony Cole, Joseph Seon Kim and GirlOnTheNet.

ONITSHA—The national chairman of the African Democratic Congress(ADC), Chief Okey Nwosu has emerged the party's flagbearer for the governorship election fixed for February 6, 2010 in Anambra state.
Nwosu was nominated by 116 delegates from the 326 wards,21 local governments and members of the state executive of the party present in a congress held Wednesday at the Tourist Garden hotel, Awka.
Although there were three governorship aspirants for the primaries namely, chief Okey Nwosu, chief Anayo Arinze(national publicity secretary) and Princess Mma Agwuna, two of the aspirants stepped down for Nwosu before the exercise on grounds that he had contributed so much to the growth of the party.
Speaking, one of the aspirants, Arinze said they decided to step down for Nwosu after series of consultations and meetings with the national and state executives of the party, saying that they will support their flagbearer to achieve victory come 2010.
The national secretary of the party, Alhaji Saidu Abdulahi who conducted the congress said the party was formed to transform Nigeria because of the bad leadership the nation had had in the past.

Temporary power firm Aggreko hit by currency changes
Aggreko has reported a fall in pre-tax profits on the back of currency movements.
The temporary power firm made £132m in the first six months of the year – a fall of 9% – but the company said underlying growth was strong.
Aggreko said its results were adversely affected by the impact of "currency translation".
It said that underlying revenue was up 12% to £768m with underlying profit up 6%.
Aggreko's interim chief executive, Angus Cockburn said "Aggreko has made an encouraging start to the year and delivered a good performance in the first half".
He also said "we are proud to have been involved in the provision of broadcast and stadium power for both the FIFA World Cup and the Glasgow Commonwealth Games".
Aggreko employs more than 4,500 people operating from 165 locations.
The group said full year projections remained unchanged.

As a web developer one of my main goals is performance. In this blog post I explain how we have boosted the performance of Crowdcrafting without touching the PYBOSSA code or adding any extra layer to our stack.
If you are developing a web service you know that you have to cache content in order to serve lots of requests quickly, right? You might be using a memory cache like memcached or Redis, like we do. However, sometimes this is not enough because the request stills go through all your pipeline only saving time from accessing the DB or computing a difficult value. Moreover, if you have a distributed load-balanced high-available cache (as we do), the request will take some time in retrieving the data from a node. Therefore you will end up summing some precious milliseconds to that request just for fetching a value that has been already computed (I always picture the requests like these skaters running to get to finish line).
When those milliseconds are precious, then you are looking for caching the whole request, not just some data in the DB.
If you are looking for a solution to this problem you will probably find Varnish a web application accelerator also known as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. There is a lot of documentation on the web about it, and just to be fair we consider it for some time but we decided to avoid it for a single reason: our infrastructure uses cookies to handle sessions (we use Flask-Login) and this makes things really complicated.
As I've explained in previous blog posts I love to keep things simple, so after checking Varnish and all the issues that it will bring to our stack we decided to check the capabilities of uWSGI regarding caching (I even opened an issue on Flask-Login about not using cookies for anonymous users in order to use Varnish with no much luck).
uWSGI has a very powerful plugin system that allows you to customize how your web service will behave. For example you can use the internal rooting plus the cache route plugin for caching specific requests based on some rules that you configure.
In the uWSGI Caching Cookbook, the explain step by step how you can do it for almost every single scenario, however the examples are very generic and you will need to work out your own rules to fit your project.
An example config file for uWSGI where you cache all the pages would be the following:
plugin = router_cache
chdir = /your/project/
pythonpath = ..
virtualenv = /your/virtualenv
module = run:app
processes = 2
; log response time with microseconds resolution
log-micros = true
; create a cache with 100 items (default size per-item is 64k)
cache2 = name=mycache,items=100
; fallback to text/html all of the others request
route = .* cache:key=${REQUEST_URI},name=mycache
; store each successfull request (200 http status code) in the 'mycache' cache using the REQUEST_URI as key
route = .* cachestore:key=${REQUEST_URI},name=mycache
This set of rules are very simple. It will cache every request that returns a 200 status code in the cache. This config file is really nice for project where the site is delivering content and there is no much changing.
However our site has a mixture of both things, pages that do not change too much over time and pages that have to be adapted for each user (specially for registered users).
As I've said before Flask-login place cookie for anonymous and authenticated users. Hence, all users have a cookie, but authenticated ones have an extra one in our project as this cookie is used to remember the session of the user for a period of time.
Thanks to this configuration we can know that a user is a registered one if both cookies exists, or the other way around: we can know if a user is an anonymous user if only the remember me cookie does not exist.
Using this knowledge we can instruct uWSGI to cache some URLs (i.e. front page, about page, etc.) only for anonymous users, as they don't need tailored information. If they sign up then, instead of serving their cached request we will process the request as usual (remember that we've different levels of caches, right?).
To us, for the moment, the most important aspect to cache is what anonymous users see, as this segment is what's driving most of the traffic to our site. Now that we can distinguish between authenticated and anonymous users, we basically configure the uWSGI like this:
route-if = empty${cookie[remember_token]} goto:cacheme
route-run = continue:
; the following rules are executed only if remember_token is empty
route-label = cacheme
route = ^/about$ cache:key${REQUEST_URI},name=cache2
route = ^/about$ cachestore:key=${REQUEST_URI},name=cache2
The above example caches for anonymous users the about page of our Crowdcrafting site. When the cache is clean, the first rule will fail, so it will process the request, stored it in the cache and then served it. Next time the same anonymous user or another one request the same URI, the cached request will be served boosting the performance a lot. Simple, right? Now you only adapt this snippet to your own URIs and web project and you will have an amazing boost in performance. Best part? That you don't have to touch a single line of your source code. Amazing!
Registered users will never receive any cached request with this configuration. You could cache for every user each URI based on their remember_token cookie however that will require lots of memory and it will defeat the purpose of having a cache: that lots of requests are already served from the same data point. Having a cached item per user is useless on this regard, as you will be loosing performance. In this case it's is much better to cache at the data level, as all the users would benefit from it: anonymous and authenticated ones.
Thanks to this solution we've improved our performance a lot. Before these improvements, the average response time of our servers were close to 250ms and now all of them are responding in average below the 50ms. Saving 200ms is incredible! Most importantly because we've not added a new layer or anything special to our own stack. We've just configured it better!
NOTE: The heading photo pictures the filament of a light bulb. To take the picture the photographer used a micro lens, and I've always pictured uWSGI as micro WSGI ;-)

No matter how good the home life, leaving for vacation always feels remedial and necessary. No matter how good the vacation, coming home always feels like a welcome hug. Before I left for my two week adventure, I was frantic, nervous, and overexposed to the trials of thinking outside a very tiny box. But I am happy to say I am no longer so uncomfortable in my own diplomatic, overanalytical skin. Elusive pause button? I found you, you wandering snob. And now that I've found you, I feel like you're mine; like I own you, and get to keep you as a shield over my daily routine.
I like vacations.

The boy's mother's boyfriend called police and said the preteen took his auto while waiting for his sister was in the shower. After the vehicle the boy was driving came to a complete stop, officers ran over to that auto door, broke the window and removed the boy from the auto.
Once officers began to chase the young driver, speeds of more than 100 miles per hour were reported. At one point during the call, the mother told the dispatcher she was anxious her son would get into an accident. In a 911 call, the mother says the vehicle belonged to the boy's father. Police closed in and blocked him from re-entering the road; the vehicle eventually ended in a ditch.
The state patrol picked up the chase when the boy entered I-80.
OH trooper Richard Reeder told Cleveland 19 TV that eight patrol cars were involved.
"One of the troopers made visual contact, eye-to-eye contact with the child and motioned for him to pull over, and the child physically shook his head "no" and continued driving", Reeder told Cleveland 19 news. A short time later, another driver called to report the kid was being chased by someone assumed to be his mom.
The chase ended at 9:49 a.m., about one hour after he took off.More news: Stranger Things star ditches agent after sexual assault claims

His mother arrived at the scene shortly after the crash.
No one was injured during the incident. "You could have got killed".
It was the second time in two weeks the boy had gone joyriding in a family auto, police said.
Earlier this month, he was spotted in his mother's vehicle on Interstate 90.
A Cleveland police report shows the boy was previously arrested for stealing his mom's 2013 Dodge Charger on October 16.
According to a police report cited by the Chigaco Tribune, the boy stole his mother's 2013 Dodge Charger on October 16 and drove it down a freeway with three flat tyres.

Cinco a suggestion that maybe if you update the images or dark legends logo on google plau maybe there will be more new players coming to the game because it's been the same for a long time arcane legenda got its changed so why not one for DL?
"Burning Desire" outfit...with FLAME effect! Red, Orange, or Pink flame. And yes a new relic weapon or seasonal plat weapon with new effect (big fan of a dark purple dark energy effect)! The Gargoyle Axe was a great addition to the game. I think that should be the new gold standard, legit new weapons or outfits with fewer recolored vanities.
-> Ability to give a DL valentine to your sweetheart in game? Great idea. We're all coupled up after years left alone playing this game.
thanks for keeping the game alive and fresh!,
- Astro
PS (level 45 update, new powers, upgrade the look of higher ranked powers, make it a less brim spam dominated game)
Yes cinco we need new skills for pvp
Cinco we need dl 2 lol another story another city another world u just add it to the game dont make anothet game and it can be traveld by portal hmm I have ideas about it
You should make a white version of the 50k one.

Last week, motivated by the CSA-box-worth of greens we're getting on a weekly basis (and not finishing), and a few friends' experiences with juicing, I decided to get a juicer on a whim.
I got a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor, which from my research seemed like the best-performing juicer under $100. But if you really want to fall deep into the world of juicing, juicers and educational materials about said topics, my sister recommends (too late for my purchase, unfortunately) the juice man. Specifically she said that he's "omg the happiest man on the planet," which is high praise coming from her.
Not knowing where to start, I asked friends for recipes, and I made my first drink out of everything left from the prior week's CSA box: beet greens, carrots, chard, kale, red cabbage, romaine.
It looked like sludge and tasted like a 20 oz wheatgrass shot, but I powered through it like a champ.
And you know what? Placebo or no, I swear I felt a euphoric lightness after drinking that stuff. Maybe it was just the relief of being done with the glass, but I wanted to feel that way again. I realize that's the way most people would describe their first taste of a drug -- but if the drug is vegetables, is that so wrong?
Out of curiosity, I started to research various juice cleanses, reasoning that I could make that stuff at home for half the price, if that. I ended up zeroing in on the Blueprint Cleanse, gathering copycat recipes around the web and organizing them here. I find the version of the green juice here too tame, so I'll be fine-tuning it over time.
Some things I've learned so far:
- Strain that juice. The juicer I bought leaves a lot of pulp and froths up the juice as well, so I strain that all off. Personal preference.
- Choose sweet apples over tart ones. I've tried Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples so far, and much prefer the sweet to the tart. Tartness masks all other flavors in the drink, and if I'm doing the work to juice all those vegetables, I want to taste it!
- The colors of fresh juice are wild. Just look at the picture at the top of the post!
- Fresh carrot juice tastes creamy. So crazy, and so delicious!

By Bamidele Aturu
A senior friend of mine described what began in the banking industry two Fridays ago as a Tsunami, and he is right. Removing in a fell swoop five Managing Directors and the entire Board of Directors of five banks in a thoroughly depressed economy such as ours could not have been anything else.
As in all earthquakes, there are aftershocks to the removal of the bank directors. All of a sudden the EFCC seems to have woken up (whether on the right or wrong side is another matter altogether); it has issued unheard of ultimatums for debtors to pay up or get arrested and prosecuted.
Indeed the Commission has arrested scores of directors and officials of the troubled banks and their subsidiaries. Yet the auditing of the banks is continuing. More MDs and directors may yet lose their positions and find themselves in the EFCC net.
Some of the affected officials have already approached the courts seeking judicial reliefs against their removal and for the protection of their allegedly violated rights. Some allegedly informed economists have challenged the CBN action.
Their main grounds are that the broad sweep of the action is illegal; that it is capable of eroding confidence in the industry; that being a debtor does not make one a criminal; and that the figures supplied to the public as amount owed by the big debtors are inaccurate. On the illegality of the removal of the directors we would offer no opinion here since the issue is pending before courts of competent jurisdiction.
We shall examine the other grounds of the criticism of the CBN action seriatim in the following segments of this contribution. It should be clear by now that we endorse and support the decision of the CBN to remove the MDs and other directors and that the only problem with the CBN decision is its failure to take equities in those banks in trust for Nigerians after injecting N420 Billion of taxpayers†money in the troubled banks. Erosion of public confidence It is important to note that none of the banks denied the basic fact that they had become illiquid before the intervention of the CBN. When a bank is said to be illiquid, it means that it has problem with cash.
That is the ordinary meaning of the term. At any rate, some of the affected banks admitted this much when they requested the intervention of the Presidency to help them recover some loans with which they had difficulties.
Against the premise of illiquidity, it would have been irresponsible for the CBN to wait until such a time when the banks would be unable to honour customers'n cheques before discharging its statutory functions. Such tardiness on the part of the CBN would have eroded whatever confidence the banking public have in the banks. The truth however is that the confidence of the people in the banks had been exaggerated. The truth of the matter is that most Nigerians never really trusted the banks. They banked with them out of necessity.
How could we possibly trust the judgment of banks that spent millions of dollars annually advertising on CNN in such a way that no other banks anywhere in the world do? Very few people would place any trust on banks whose MDs compete with members of the Nollywood for space in the print and electronic media. What with their industrial relations?
These banks set impossible deposit targets for their staff that are unheard of anywhere in the world and sack, demote or reduce their salaries for failing to meet those irresponsible targets. It is a well known fact that many of the young ladies in these so-called banks have had to resort to immoral means to meet the targets.
Trade unions that ordinarily could have checked the excesses of these bank administrators are not allowed to operate in many of these banks contrary to express wordings of our labour laws. The injection of funds into the banks and the recoveries made so far (N10 Billion by some accounts) are what would restore public confidence in the banks. It is illogical to argue that removing five MDs and the directors at once would erode public confidence. Indeed if all the bank MDs and their directors had been removed there would have been no negative impact on the trust of the people for the banks. Criminalising Debts?
The big debtors and their friends are dead right to argue that being a debtor without more does not make one a criminal. There is no single provision in any of our laws that criminalises non-performing debt. But there are instances when circumstances surrounding a debt can make the lender and the debtor liable to prosecution for crimes. Such instances would include variants of insider abuse, lending without any or adequate security or collaterals et cetera. The categories are not close. Each case would depend on its peculiar facts. It may therefore be hasty to rush into conclusion until we have all the facts.
We must never forget that the banks are notionally owned by all the shareholders and it is morally indefensible for an MD of a bank to give out loans to his or her cronies or family members without following laid down prescriptions. Where such improper and reckless act leads to illiquidity the MD should honourably accept responsibility. One reason we don't hold our governments to deliver is because some people have access to easy money which they have not worked for.
They can easily afford to run their parallel power company, buy their own jets, fly out for treatment for headaches etc. If we succeed in preventing abuse of shareholders†funds, we would see a more active middle class ready to insist on decent and good governance.
Inaccurate figures Some of the debtors have challenged the figures supplied by the CBN as inaccurate. They are right to insist on their actual indebtedness, but the point really is to pay up whatever they owe. The contention that the CBN is wrong to have removed the directors based on wrong or contentious debt figures is an unserious one indeed. Conclusion The CBN action and its aftermaths must be cautiously and vigilantly watched. There have been fears that the strategy is for some interests to takeover the troubled banks.
Those who subscribe to this theory readily point to extreme ethnic views held by the CBN Governor before his appointment. I read the article often cited by the critics of the Governor before he was appointed and my candid view was and is that he ought not to have been appointed to hold the sensitive position. His position in the article portrayed him as an ethnic jingoist. One is therefore not surprised that ethnic motives are being read into the removal of the bank directors.
The lesson for our political actors is that they must be very circumspect in appointing persons to sensitive positions in this country. But then it would be wrong to argue that the CBN action is wrong simply because he is an extremist.
That is a fallacy known in logic as argumentum ad hominiem. His critics must find rational arguments against his actions. In the present case, the man seems to be on a sound and strong wicket. Nevertheless, we must closely monitor what happens to the ownership structures of the affected banks. We must resist any ethnic agenda while insisting on sound banking practices.
We also have a duty to insist that the EFCC and the CBN do not exceed their statutory functions and that under no guise should the rights of any Nigerian be violated except in a manner permitted by law. We must always remind ourselves that the way to hell is often paved with good intentions. Mr Sanusi must know that he will be fought to a standstill if he misbehaves or attempts any mischief. Meanwhile let the Tsunami move on.

Being a small business owner myself, I have a big appreciation for people who give a whack at self-employment. They're driven, talented, and persistent. The thing many of them are lacking is a way to show the outside world how amazing they are. In this world where we communicate through images, a big handful of gorgeous, descriptive photos of your business can go a real long way. I can't stress enough how important for your marketing this service is.
I'll tell the story of your small business or non-profit the way I do all my other shooting - thoughtfully, authentically, and in the best light possible. Whether you are looking for professional portraits, a glance into the day-to-day goings on of your business, or photos of an event, I would be so excited to work with you and help promote your business.

A misunderstanding, not something sinister, was behind a police lock down of a Toowoomba shopping centre on Friday morning.
Officers searched the Grand Central Shopping Centre after being called there shortly before 6am following reports two armed men were seen in the complex.
But the incident was resolved "without any issue" at 8am after the pair were found to be carrying knives for employment purposes.
Cordons along streets including Victoria, Margaret, Little and Duggan were lifted and the shopping centre reopened around 8:30am.

Over the past week I was present at every meeting and helped work on the overall game planning, world building, and mechanics. We discussed what potential stages/arenas could be made, and narrowed it down from everyone's ideas to a cyberpunk theme. We planned the mechanics to be a gravity whip-like interaction to allow the player to manipulate the direction of the ball and how it will be thrown. We also prototyped gravity fields in the arena that would affect the motion of the ball.
Time Spent:
Wednesday planning meeting: 2 hours
Planning mechanics/overall: 4 hours
World building: 3 hours
Total: 9 hours
Meetings were productive
I feel that the game is headed in a clear direction
Meetings felt excessive
Lack of communication as to who would be present/when it was necessary to be present

Now, NVIDIA has made this new feature available with the release 344.75 driver. According to NVIDIA it will give the "best gaming experience for Far Cry 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, The Crew, and World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor."
It is to be noted that MFAA is only supported by GTX 980, GTX 970, GTX 980M and GTX 970M. So, you might need to upgrade some hardware.

Mike's Auto Body's CEO Brennan Rose and COO Steve Kelly were present to receive the award for this family owned and operated business. For 42 plus years Mike's Auto Body has been returning cars to their pre-accident condition. The business was founded in 1972, and has grown into 12 locations today with two locations in Concord and Walnut Creek and one in Lafayette, Pittsburg, Antioch, Brentwood, Richmond, Fairfield, Napa and San Ramon.
As COO Steve Kelly states, "This award is given based on many categories and performance metrics including outstanding customer service," Kelly explained. "We became members of Farmers COD MSO program two and a half years ago, so to win the Farmers 2013 Regional Multiple Shop Organization Group of the Year award is a big deal."
Mike's Auto Body values its participation in Farmers COD program for a wide range of reasons, Kelly said. "We have been actively involved and part of the COD program since the early '90s. Farmers is one of our major strategic insurance partners, so inclusion in their CODMSO program is very important to us at Mike's Auto Body. The COD MSO program also allows us to network with other leaders in the collision industry and share useful information. We're always looking to be better and provide the best service we can and this group is a great way to help achieve these things."

It's pretty much the same, except a couple of interesting tidbits:
- In chapter 1, Moses tells the people about how God told him he wouldn't make it to the promised land, because he somehow fucked up the 'making water come out of a rock' thing. But here, Moses tells the Israelites that he blames them for his death. That's nice.
- In chapter 2, we find out more about why the Israelites killed some people and not others. Apparently they passed some people by because God told them to, because he had "given this land as a possession to the descendants of" Esau, or Lot, or whoever. In other words, God seems to have had other "covenants" with other tribes of people to give them land. Except in their cases, it didn't take about 500 years of slavery, hardship, wandering around in the wilderness, God himself killing hundreds of thousands of the very people he's supposed to like with plagues and fires, etc. Somebody explain to me in what way the Israelites are God's favorite people again? He treats them worse than everybody else.
Then he reminds them about the "no idols!" rule, which I am absolutely convinced is the only thing God cares about, other than "no fucking yeast" and the "pleasing" aroma of burning animals. In what may be the biggest understatement of the bronze age, Moses also calls God "jealous" a couple of times in here.
Also at this point, Moses says (for the third time) that he is going to die here because "The LORD was angry with me because of you." Why is he blaming them? From my own understanding of what the bible said, God got upset for no apparent reason about the one time Moses made water come out of a rock. In that case, Moses can just blame God for being a fickle bitch.
On the other hand, it seems that the general interpretation of that story is that Moses didn't sufficiently glorify God for the water...he tried to take all the credit for it, in other words. In that case, it's mostly his own damn fault. And again, God is still partly to blame, for being a fickle bitch. Either way, he should really stop trying to guilt everyone about it.
Moses also threatens them that if they don't follow all God's rules, they will "quickly perish" and be destroyed, and scattered, and so on. Fantastic.
Then Moses starts talking about how fantastic God is. He created the universe! He brought us out of Egypt! You people had just better acknowledge his existence and obey his every fucking whim.
Then Moses names the 6 cities of refuge.
Man, this is all over the place. If the storyteller was trying to capture the fact that this is basically the incoherent ramblings of a dying old man, they did a great job!
For his next act, Moses goes over the 10 commandments... the 1st version, not the 2nd one (the one about "don't cook a baby goat in it's mother's milk" and so on). A couple of interesting bits here too.
- Moses says that even though God laid down the covenant law at Mt. Sinai, he wasn't actually making the covenant with them, it was with the people alive now. Except that's not what he said then... apparently God lied to them. Fantastic.
- Also, Moses says that at Mt Sinai the people were too afraid to go up the mountain...but at the time, I remember God repeatedly forbidding anyone but Moses from going up there.
Now we get a whole chapter where Moses tells the Israelites to obey, remember, love, and fear (but mostly obey) God. Also, teach the covenant law to your children, and that they should all think and talk about it almost constantly (when you sit at home, when you walk along the road, etc). And write it on your doors and gates. Because this is totally not excessive.

In Los Angeles at E3, IGNPSX received confirmation from Activision that Tenchu 2 may very well be announced today at E3.
Activision is currently in negotiations with Sony, working out the finer details of the deal for Tenhcu 2, but because Activision is public, the company has not yet made a public announcement. In Activision's E3 press kit, screen-shots of the game were included, further supporting Tenchu 2's arrival.
Tenchu arrived on the PlayStation last Fall to much fanfare from the hardcore sector of the market. The American version added two new levels and smoothed out a rather clunky control and fighting system.
We'll have a preview of the game later on in the show.

It has been claimed (by Billy Cox presumably?) that before he joined the 101st he took part in regular Saturday afternoon jam sessions at Starday/King Studios in Nashville, but this is over nine hours drive from Pittsburgh? Had he already moved to Nashville before signing up? Cox bio between Pittsburgh (where he grew up and learned to play) and the 101st at Fort Ord is almost non-existant, apart from this tidbit. Apparently producer Bill "Hoss" Allen, (disc jockey at WLAC-AM), would tape the five hour sessions and from this, he supposedly would sometimes get something he could sell to a local label. The financial arrangements of this set-up are not explained, nor is any of the product named.

Winter training
Training through a British Winter is tough, especially when you have spent the previous one in shorts and t-shirts! I moved back to the UK at the end of June and moved in with my girlfriend Emily and her friends in Hackney. A slight contrast from where I had been. I took a month off after Lanzarote for a physical and mental break before training in earnest for the following season. I have to say, I have found it tough coming back, especially the first couple months.
When it's dark, raining, freezing and a 4:50am on a Monday it takes a special kind of nutter to train. I remember listening to a Bradley Wiggins podcast and he talked about 'training when no one else was'. It breeds a smugness and mental armoury that you can return too when racing. The key for me this winter would be finding the right people to train with. Training on your own all the time gets tiresome and having some company more than anything really helps you enjoy what you are doing – at least I thought so!
My running really let me down this year. We know why, so a strong winter of higher mileage and base/strength training would be essential to the lay the foundation for next year. One morning about 11am (when everyone else is supposed to be working). I spotted a slight, African guy striding out around the muddy footpaths of Victoria Park. I knew he was good just watching him for 30seconds. The guy could run. I caught up with him; we chatted and soon got enough info I needed. He was getting back into running, had run 50min flat for 10miles and was also keen to find a training partner. Perfect. We have been meeting up ever since, except when it rains, "Africans don't run in the rain bruv". Which is probably quite sensible in Africa, but not in a British Winter. One run stood out recently when we ran out to the Hackney Marshes (once home to the most amounts of football pitches in London) and the pace got faster and faster. At about 5:20/mile pace he said he was only breathing through his nose – which slightly took the piss. Nonetheless, running long runs with this guy was only going to help me. The only problem with Hackney is there are no hills!!
The same applied to the swimming. The gains I had made early on were slowly reducing and I needed something extra. I searched far and wide for a swim club, getting the usual response of 'how old are you'? Too old, you can't swim with kids!" Finally, I found a club that would take me. 'Newham and UEL Swimming Club'. I turned up at 5:30am Monday for my trail session and the coach, Giuseppe gave me the nod. I just felt sorry for the parents dropping their kids off! I thought I had pushed myself hard in the pool before. Little did I know - the training is intense. The first 8 weeks I had my ass continually kicked by kids half my age and size but slowly I am seeing the gains and getting the odd positive look from the coach. Who, I have been extremely impressed by. One session of 10x400 followed by 30x50 stood out, and left me unable to lift a bar of soap after the session. Feel is what I needed, and that is what you get once you have been ploughing up and down a pool for a minimum of 5km a session for 10 years, I had some catching up to do…
It was great getting reacquainted with the roads in Kent and spinning out with my mates from the 34 Nomads Cycling Club. No ride was completed without a mandatory stop for a cake and coffee, one of the many perks of cycling (no matter how much cake you eat you can't get a stitch!). Nick Gasson, Steve Cavey, Richard Payn were all regularly cycling and were great company for those cold winter days.

oh my god I thought the last one was a JOKE, jfc
Yeah, just to clarify: no part of #9 is a joke. All those things sound like gross exaggerations that would be unfair, horrible things to say about a person were they not true. Unfortunately, every single one of them is.
Actually, I'd like to clarify something about #9.
The man who was assaulted was attacked by Mitt and a few of Mitt's friends, yes, but he was not gay. That's what makes it worse. He was NOT gay, but Mitt and his friends suspected he was gay simply because he came to school with what can only be described as an 80s-appropriate hairstyle. Because his bangs were longer than the hair at the back of his head, they decided it was a clear indication that he was a homosexual and they sought to "fix" that by forcibly cutting his hair. The man, however, was not gay and due to the bullying he received from Mitt, Mitt's friends, and several people in the aftermath of what Mitt and his friends did, the man committed suicide.
I would also like to note that this occurred while Mitt Romney was in college.
It wasn't elementary school, when you could at least blame parents and school faculty for not intervening. It wasn't even during high school, when you're expected to be completely immature and there's still enough accountability to assign to parents and teachers that chose not to intervene. It was during college. They were all adults and they behaved that way toward someone they suspected could be gay because of their chosen style of hair.
When Mitt was confronted with the fact that the man went on to kill himself as a result of having no self-esteem or self-worth after having been so cruelly taunted, bullied, and assaulted, he brushed the subject off and said, "kids will be kids." Except you weren't a child, you weren't even a teenager. You were an adult and you went unpunished for your criminal assault of another human being, and that person is now dead because of the things you and your friends drilled into his head. Negative infinity points for Romney.
I am not yet old enough to vote but please please please if you are 18, register and vote. It does matter. I sound like those MTV campaigns but I don't care. VOTE. No really, seriously. V O T E.
WTF it is true: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mitt-romneys-prep-school-classmates-recall-pranks-but-also-troubling-incidents/2012/05/10/gIQA3WOKFU_story.html?hpid=z2
mitt romney. literally. caused somebody's death.directly.
And this is why I said, in front of a lecture hall full of people, that I don't think Mitt Romney is human.
Reblog reblog reblog! Get this out in the world forever and a day!!! STOP ROMNEY!

U.S. Attorney Williams Announces November 2016 Election Day Program and Appoints District Election Officer
PORTLAND, Ore. – Billy J. Williams, United States Attorney for the District of Oregon, announced today that Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Adrian Brown will lead the District of Oregon's efforts to protect voting rights and address complaints of election fraud and abuse in the upcoming November 8, 2016 general election. As the District Election Officer, AUSA Brown will oversee local implementation of the Justice Department's nationwide Election Day Program.
"It is the mission of the Department of Justice and all United States Attorney's Offices to act promptly and aggressively to protect the integrity of our electoral process," said U.S. Attorney Williams. "Discrimination, voter interference, and election fraud will not be tolerated. I encourage anyone with knowledge of any voting abuses or fraud," continued Williams, "to immediately contact my office, the FBI, or the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division."
The Department of Justice has an important role in deterring election fraud and discrimination wherever such acts occur. The Justice Department's longstanding Election Day Program furthers these goals and seeks to ensure public confidence in the integrity of the electoral process. The appointment of a District Election Officer within each United States Attorney's Office gives voters an easy way to report possible election fraud and voting rights violations.
Federal law protects against such crimes as intimidating, bribing, or impersonating voters, buying and selling votes, altering vote tallies, stuffing ballot boxes, and marking ballots for voters against their wishes or without their input. The law also contains special protections for the rights of voters and ensures that all voters can vote without the fear of intimidation or harassment. Actions intended to interrupt or intimidate voters violate federal voting rights law. Federal law also protects the right of voters to mark their own ballot or to be assisted by a person of their choice.
To file complaints of election fraud or other voting rights abuses, please contact AUSA Brown at (503) 727-1000 or Special Agent Caleb Williams with the FBI's Portland Field Office at (503) 224-4181. Additionally, complaints can filed directly with the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division Voting Section in Washington, DC by phone (800-253-3931 or 202-307-2767), fax (202-307-3961), email (email@example.com), or online form (go.usa.gov/xkvn4).

I didn't get to spend a lot of time with Middle Passage on my nine-day walk through North Carolina, just a few minutes at a time during mealtime and short breaks.
Still, it was easy to get the honor of the man. He started the Journey for Justice in Selma and walked through Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, carrying the American flag at the head of the line.
My friend, Ruth Zalph, 85, walked alongside him for most of the nine days the walk was in North Carolina at a steady 3-mile-per-hour pace. We called him MP.
I know a little about him: He was 68 and he was a man of peace. He hugged cops when he met them so they would have a loving experience with a black man and be less likely to shoot when they encountered another.
MP was a veteran of the wars in Korea and Vietnam. But instead of bitterness, MP came home with a heart filled with kindness. At the end of the day along the walk, he helped set up cots for other marchers.
Along the walk, we would hear his warnings of uneven pavement or a raised manhole, and at mealtime, we heard his laugh.
Love begets love. I thought of that when I noticed our journey was holding up traffic wherever we went, so I began waving and smiling at people we passed, and if their car windows were open, I thanked them for having patience with us. The response was overwhelmingly positive. People, who had looked peeved and impatient, smiled and waved back, often saying, "No problem!"
Middle Passage came from Colorado to join the march and he walked just about every step of it. He smiled most of the time.
Yesterday, three days from the Journey's end, he collapsed along the road in Virginia and died.
People are calling him Moses — the Biblical prophet who led his people, but who died before they reached the Promised Land. I prefer he have his own identity: Middle Passage, the descendant of slaves, who led a loving life and led his friends along a nonviolent path to the seat of power to ask for justice.
His death comes as a shock because he seemed so healthy, greeting everyone with a hug or a chest bump. I learned of it late last night. I saw his photo on my Facebook feed with a quote: "We've all got to work together to preserve what we have. It's a struggle. Freedom is not free."
He died living his passion. I guess there's something to be said for that. But he will be missed. The march continues into Washington, accompanied by his great and loving spirit. The struggle for justice goes on, and for many of us, his spirit will be a driving force.
A year ago, I heard civil rights great, Rev. Otis Moss Jr., and his son, Rev. Otis Moss III, preach a sermon about stairs and landings. The younger Moss recalled a long stairway leading to a cathedral in Europe. At one landing, an elderly man decided to sit and rest and await his family's return. It was a metaphor for life, of course, as he turned to his father and said, "You can rest now, Dad. You've worked long and hard and you deserve it. I've got this."
I could see my son, Michael, on that landing, waving me on to continue my work for health care justice. It shouldn't be that way, the son waving the parent on, but it gave me courage to continue the work at a time I was feeling weary.
Now, Middle Passage is on that landing, enjoying a well deserved rest.
Rest in peace, Middle Passage, we've got this now.

I don't think my life could be any more different to the last time I was on here......... I finished my secondment with my company's Jersey office, I entered myself into the Tesco Race for Life to raise money for Cancer Research UK, and then my husband and I moved to Jersey permanently!!!
The Race for Life was, without a doubt the hardest thing I've ever done. I don't run. End of. I don't run for the bus. I don't run for the train. I just don't do running. So to run 5K, in a decent time, was a challenge. I was living in Jersey during my secondment when I entered the race and started my training there. Running - OK that's an exaggeration - jogging and walking - along the beach was amazing. The view was gorgeous. The air was fresh. The people were friendly.
I managed to raise a fantastic amount - just shy of £500 - and managed to attain a time I was, and still am, so proud of. My time?? 31 minutes 48 seconds. I was over the moon because I only managed to "train" twice.
Now I'm not really sure how this whole "upping sticks and moving to Jersey" malarky came about - sounds dumb I know - but it all seemed to just slot into place and before we knew it we were signing contracts and telling our parents we were moving. It was a crazy time and very emotional.
We've been here for just over a week and so far we are loving it. The commute is non-existent, the people are just lovely, we get to spend more time together, and life is much more laid back.
One of my gripes with Jersey when I was here earlier in the year on secondment was that nothing was open on Sundays...... Well somehow, given that nothing was open, I still managed to spend nigh-on £100 the day after we got here!!!!! ;-)
And this weekend wasn't much better from my debit card's point of view!!! But I am consoling myself with the fact that everything - well almost everything- was in a sale. The biggest catch was a gorgeous DKNY doctor style bag that I almost bought in May. It was originally priced at £190 and I found it reduced down to £95.Naturally I scooped it up - and the matching clutch bag down from £137 to £68.50!!!!!! I couldn't leave the clutch on the shelf now could I? ;-)
The other purchase I am swooning over is a gorgeous Hobbs jacket. Navy blue with cream edging and darling little bows........... Pictures to follow when I figure it how to ;-)
As for the other purchases, well the list just goes on - three dresses, another bag and a skirt. My favourite shops in St Helier are, without a doubt, Voisins and De Gruchy. I can see myself spending a lot of my spare time in there :-)
So that's my life wrapped up since my last post. There is a lot more I could say but it would be like information overload so I'll wrap up now.
Much love,

Jess Shears can't leave her fiance Dom Lever
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 November 2017
Jess Shears has admitted she's so obsessed with her fiance Dom Lever that she can't bear to leave him when she goes shopping
Jess Shears can't go to the supermarket without her fiance Dom Lever.
The 'Love Island' couple got engaged just a few weeks after they left the famous villa over the summer but, although people have criticised their whirlwind romance, the brunette beauty insists they're very much in love and she can't bear to be away from her beau - even if she just needs to pop out for half hour to pick up some groceries.
The 23-year-old star said: "It's sickening; usually the honeymoon period is over very quickly but we do everything together. I can't go to Asda without him!"
And Dom, 27, doesn't regret popping the question so soon after meeting Jess because he knew instantly that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
Speaking to the Mirror Online, he said: "It was a couple of weeks after I got out.
"Everyone said, 'Wait 'til you're out and see how it is', but when I got out I spent every single minute of everyday with her and I was just like, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with her'. I don't regret it at all. We spend so much time together."
And, although they've only been engaged a matter of months, the pair have already decided they want to tie the knot abroad next year - although nothing has been booked.
Jess has her eye on a dress she wants but she wants to book the venue first because she doesn't want to walk down the aisle in a huge dress if it's 40-degree heat.
She added: "It depends where we get married because we want to get married abroad and I don't want anything too heavy because then I'll be sweating."
