This week Hannah's journey for love takes us across the pond to Scotland…
Emily: ABC did us dirty this week. First, we ended on a cliffhanger last week, and then they pushed the show back to TUESDAY throwing off my entire weekly routine. Then we get another cliffhanger at the end of this episode? It's like we've entered Kaityln Bristowe's season all over again. I'm very triggered. But here we are. Let's start from the beginning.
Susan: In case anyone forgot, Luke S. and Luke P. are still fighting. Hannah sits them down to hear them "talk to each other" and immediately looks like she wishes she were dead. Then she pulls a Colton and just up and walks out on them because who has time for this?
Emily: Hannah's bored expression was priceless. It truly told a story. And that story was "producers made me do this, and I clearly want to dump both of these dudes." When she walks out, ABC starts playing this dire Game of Thrones style music, and for a second I legit though Hannah was about to execute one of them or sentence the Lukes to a trial by combat. But no, she just leaves and makes Chris Harrison emerge from his cocoon to tell the dudes the cocktail party is soooo overrr.
Susan: It's time for the rose ceremony we should have gotten last week. Luke S. pulls a last-minute "Can I talk to you for a sec?" à la Britt in Chris Soules's season. Except instead of begging to stay, he just kind of apologizes and is like "Ok, bye."
Emily: It's really weird because we don't actually see how most of this conversation goes down. Maybe Luke S. was talking about his tequila business and ABC didn't want to give him free press. Maybe they were discussing politics. We'll never know. On to the actual eliminations.
Susan: In the most upsetting elimination of this season so far, John Paul Jones, our beloved JPJ, does not receive a rose. (Neither does Matteo, but who cares?) JPJ, I suspect we will see your sunshine hair in Paradise. And just like that, two more of my Team Frat-tastic men have fallen. Sigh.
Emily: I'm really thinking JPJ is going to shine on BiP. His humor and good nature will likely land him a lot of friends, and I'm calling it now. He'll probably get coupled up. We're rooting for you, John Paul Jones!
Susan: Luke decides to give a toast that no one asked for. He says it's "for all you gentlemen, but mostly for Hannah." Eye roll. "To finding our forever, and having the time of our lives on the hunt." The HUNT. That's how I want my future husband to talk about me -- like I'm big game he's about to destroy and make a sick trophy out of. (Justin, this is sarcasm; do not do this.)
Emily: I'm so done with Luke. He is the worst kind of toxic masculinity, and he reaffirms this every week. Hannah explains to the camera that she's keeping Luke because even though her brain tells her he's not the one, her heart says otherwise. Translation: her vagina says otherwise. Anyway, off to Scotland for the beginning of the overseas dates!
Susan: They arrive in Inverness, which is where Loch Ness is located, and therefore, where the Loch Ness Monster lives. Don't worry, this will come back.
Emily: I actually started flipping out because I LOVE SCOTLAND. Fun fact, #BSG fans: Susan and I actually went to Edinburgh together and had a grand old time. We even had a fav pub: The Auld Hoose. Shout out to the Auld Hoose! Hannah seems excited to be in Scotland too, I guess, although her attempt at a Scottish accent was horrifying. She tells us, "Mary Queen of Scots had to deal with a lot of men and she fought the battle really hard but at the end of the day she was beheaded. So I'm going to take the role of Mary Queen of Scots except not end up beheaded." Sounds like a plan.
Susan: The dudes are drinking beer at a pub, and Hannah comes in and says she wants to open up to them this week and invites Mike on a one-on-one! 20 points for the next Bachelor -- I mean, Mike!
Emily: OMG PLEASE. ABC, the people want Mike for Bachelor! #MikeforBachelor #MikeBachelor2020 #MikeJohnsonBachelor2020ComeonABC. This is actually my dream. Hanging out with Mike and wandering around Scotland. This is indeed the perfect place to fall in love. When Hannah sees Mike, she jumps into his arms and… hugs him? It's a run and jump but there's no kiss? I think this is 3 points.
Susan: Back at the pub, the dudes confront Luke and he deflects, as usual. And we get our first mention of the Luke Ness Monster from Jed, though clearly a producer gave him that line.
Emily: In the most cutting insult ever, Luke tells the other guys, "You're so what's not for Hannah. It makes me want to gag." Nice one, dude. You know, for all the Loch Ness Monster talk, I'm a little disappointed there wasn't a Loch Ness Monster-themed date this week. But whatever.
Meanwhile, Mike and Hannah are being super cute, so let's get back to that. Mike has the biggest most amazing smile in the world. They go to a bookstore (THE DREAM!) and I'm guessing this is where Mike gets that Loch Ness Monster book he's reading later. More on that to come. Next, they go drink a bunch of whiskey and not gonna lie, Hannah seems drunk as fuck. So drunk that she can't tell the difference between a Socttish accent and an English accent and she allows an English dude to troll her and convince her to eat haggis. Afterwards when she asks him to eat it, he's straight up like, "I don't eat haggis! I'm English!" Hannah, you dummy.
Susan: At dinner, Hannah is rocking a high ponytail, and Mike is nervous as hell.
Emily: He's talked about his previous relationship before, but here he cites his last relationship as the reason he's so cautious about entering another one. He doesn't want to be heartbroken again. Where is that Bachelor contract? Can we get him to sign it now, or…?
Susan: He actually asks Hannah questions about herself, which is more than we can say for a certain lake creature named Luke who keeps getting roses for some reason. Anyway, Mike and his beautiful smile get a rose. 10 points. After dinner, they go to a "Scottish party" (?) at a pub and dance and make out. 2 points.
Susan: At the big fancy house -- where the men are wearing lots of layers indoors -- Tyler reads the group date card with the most deadpan delivery of all time. Probably because he scanned it and saw the Luke Ness Monster wasn't on it, meaning he gets the other one-on-one. Ugh.
Emily: So I was listening to the Bachelor RHap Up podcast earlier today, and they had a theory about this. They posited that Luke's 1-on-1 was originally meant to be a 2-on-1 between both Lukes before Luke S. sent himself home. Evidence that suggests this: Luke S. was originally going to stay, hence Chris coming and taking a rose off the table at the beginning of the episode. Also, the way Luke's date is set up (more on this later) seems more like a 2-on-1 argue it out kind of date than a 1-on-1 romance date. All the telltale signs were there. Just saying. I believe this theory.
Susan: On the group date, we've got Devin, Tyler, Dylan, Grant, Connor, Peter and Garrett from Team Sausage Party and Dustin, Kevin, and Jed from Team Frat-tastic. My team is too small to carry me through the rest of this season. Come on, dudes!
Emily: Okay but color me SHOCKED that Grant is still somehow here. How did GRANT make it to overseas dates over JPJ? It's not that I'm complaining about having more team members, but when has grant ever pulled his weight for this team? The only thing he's contributed is the actual name of the team. Do better, Grant. Maybe at least say hi to Hannah one time. Anyway, on to the date. The dudes all put on kilts and apparently Hannah has a type, and it's the type that doesn't wear underwear.
Susan: I'm pretty sure almost this exact same date was done on Emily Maynard's season because I remember that balls had to be blurred in kilts and there were physical challenges happening. So they have to throw axes (they suck at this), race with buckets of milk on their shoulders, and just straight-up wrestle. In kilts. Dylan with the line of the season: "Not wearing any underwear, so...definitely concerned about showin' my butt." Um, what about your entire scrotum and peen?
Emily: Maybe he's very proud of his scrotum and peen.
Susan: Back at the house they keep calling a castle, Mike and Luke have to talk to each other. Most of the conversation is just Luke gaslighting Mike by pretending he never said any of the stuff he literally just said an hour ago. Same shit, different mansion.
Emily: It's like they were determined to get a 2-on-1 with Luke somehow. But since their original plans were thwarted, they had to make do with this 2-on-0 in which Luke just wanders around the "castle" and Mike reads a book about monsters that definitely isn't supposed to be an obvious metaphor about his feelings about Luke. Enough of this for now. Tell me about the actual date with Hannah.
Susan: Tyler is the only one who can throw an axe. 3 points to Tyler for this. I don't understand the milk race because it seems like it doesn't even matter if you spill the milk? Jed goes beast mode and pours milk on his own head, which Hannah loves for some reason. Then he earns himself 2 points by pulling a slick one and asking to wrestle Hannah instead of another dude.
Emily: Jed was a little too slick here. I was not a fan
Susan: Milk-soaked Jed wins the whole competition and gets 5 points for it! I quite enjoyed this date. Let's just only do group dates.
Emily: Grumble grumble. Tyler should have won.
Susan: At the cocktail party, the theme is "let's get horizontal" as Hannah is ready for some serious makeouts with these fellas, starting with Jed. Jed gets 2 points for this makeout where Hannah is trying very hard to straddle him in a dress that won't let it happen. But it's ok because he gets 3 more points for the butt grab.
Emily: Even more hilarious is Kevin (I had to check to make sure that was his name) walking in on Hannah and Jed dry humping. Poor Kevin is like "I haven't even kissed her yet." And you probably never will, Kevin. Next up is Peter who is just all about the smoothness. He tried to be smooth by making out with her on top of a pool table, but he couldn't get the right angle at first and it was kind of a mess. And yet somehow because it was Peter, it was still smooth. 2 points for the makeout. 2 points for getting horizontal (eventually).
Susan: Dark Horse Garrett swoops in with 2 points for kissing also, and then it's time for Tyler In A Kilt. Tyler just straight up lies down on the bed to make out with her. 2 points for the makeout, 2 more for being horizontal. Get it, girl.
Emily: Once again, I just want to point out that Tyler makes a lot of raunchy jokes about showing her his nutsack and waxing his ass before they start making out. This is definitely his go-to flirting vibe. And it's working for him clearly because I think he and Hannah made out so hard that they made a baby.
Susan: In a choice that surprises no one -- but least of all Kevin, who witnessed their heavy petting -- Hannah gives the group date rose to Jed. 10 points.
Emily: Boooooo!
Susan: Remember that movie We Need to Talk about Kevin? Well, Bachelor Nation, we need to talk about Luke. And Luke needs to talk about "clarity." A lot.
Emily: As the resident Ravenclaw, I want to point out that We Need to Talk About Kevin was first a novel by Lionel Shriver. Moving on. It's time for Luke's date, and on Luke's way out the door, Garrett says to him: "Be a man and keep our names out of your mouth."
Susan: 20 points to Luke for getting this date somehow. Hannah jumps on him, but not enthusiastically and not while running. 3 points. Hannah wastes a stellar picnic location on this "big-ass douche canoe" (Devin's words). They're on the side of a cliff. It's beautiful and awesome except for the fact that Hannah always feels like shit when Luke's around, and she basically says this herself. I honestly don't know how to accurately recap their circular and empty conversation that seemingly lasts all the livelong day and into dinner. Emily, help me out.
Emily: Okay. So. This is what I wrote down: Luke keeps saying dumb shit, and Hannah keeps trying to get him to say the right thing so that she can go on wanting to have sex with him. When Luke keeps being an idiot despite her best efforts, Hannah's like fuck it let's go look at this dumb castle. Luke is like, "Is there anything that I left out that you want me to explain to you?" Hannah's like, "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN?" Luke is like, "Do you want to talk?" Hannah's like, "NO I WANT TO FUCKING STAND HERE AND BE MAD." And now she's like fuck it let's look at this dumb fucking castle. What I want to know is this: Why is Hannah fighting this so hard. Maybe she just needs to fuck him. Has anyone suggested this yet?
Susan: Ladies, listen up. A really intense initial attraction does not a lifelong commitment make. Sometimes it doesn't mean anything except you wanna bang this person. You do not have to marry him. You do not have to do anything. You certainly don't have to waste your time sitting around begging him to talk about something, even if it's just what kind of pasta he likes. Hot take: Luke is probably not even a good lay. Just move on.
Emily: I wonder if Luke's favorite pasta is cheesy pasta. Anyway, at this point, Luke is like, "I'm starting to feel like I'm on thin ice with you." I wonder what the fuck gave him that idea. Hannah tells him, "I want a real man and an incredible man but that person has flaws and can own up to them." Luke probably thinks his worst flaw is that sometimes he sings too beautifully.
Susan: At dinner he says he's been trying to be "too perfect," which just feels like he's repeating Hannah's insecurities from last season. This man has nothing to contribute to this relationship. For the love of Nessie, let. him. go.
Emily: What's worse is that Luke seems really proud of himself for coming up with that line. What's EVEN worse is that Hannah says she's not even mad at Luke for what he did at the rugby game last week. In fact, she LIKED that side of him because at least anger is an emotion. This is why 24 year-olds should not be leads on The Bachelor/ette.
Susan: So we end on a cliffhanger, but we've SEEN LUKE in season previews in scenarios that haven't occurred yet, so… not that much of a cliffhanger. Even though Hannah repeatedly said there were "red flags" everywhere, that she had more fun without him around, and that this is the worst date she's had, she's gonna give a rose to this restraining order waiting to happen.
Emily: We only have one superlative for this week, and it's least exciting cliffhanger. This episode is the least exciting cliffhanger ever. The end. It's points time.
Team Sausage Party (Emily)
Mike: 35
Tyler: 3
Peter: 4
Garrett: 2
Total This Week: 43
Last Week Total: 144
Total: 187
Team Frat-Tastic (Susan)
Jed: 17
Luke: 23
Total This Week: 40
Last Week Total: 129
Total: 169
And currently Team Sausage Party is in the lead, but there's still plenty of time left in the season, and plenty of bad decisions for Hannah to make on her journey. It's still anyone's game! Tune in next week.

revealing the outer ring of Birkrigg stone circle
Bay Beach Cleans are Back!Tue, 2019-03-19 14:30
Morecambe Bay's dramatic coastline is something that we all love and want to protect. Over the last 15 years, Morecambe Bay Partnership has worked with countless, dedicated volunteers to clean up our beaches. Since 2003, more than 50 tonnes of rubbish has been collected and removed from the Bay – the equivalent of four double decker buses!

If you've never been to a beach clean before, don't fret! Equipment (pickers, gloves, bags) is provided at every event, so all you need to do is dress for the weather and wear some sturdy shoes. Children are always welcome but under-18s do need to be accompanied by and adult. It's also a great way to meet new people, especially if you've just moved to the area or looking to make some new, like-minded friends.
There are regular beach cleans from March to October at:
- Morecambe Lodge
- Hest Bank
- Sunderland Point
- Middleton Towers
- Potts Corner
All events begin at 10am and last 1.5 – 2 hours. For more information, visit our events page or contact Hannah Barnes, our Beach Care Officer (email@example.com).

No one has ever heard Ugandan vaporwave before and "Future Ghosts" is my first taste into the world of Ugandan vaporwave. I have to say, it's a unique twist on vaporwave as I've heard tricks that I've never seen any other artist do… At least not yet.
The entire album serves as a demonstration for the artist's skills, utilizing chopping, delaying, filtering and ultimately original composing as you go through a long journey through the artist's mind. Much of the songs are traditional plunderphonics with some mallsoft and hard vapour mixed in, some songs are short while others are long but the ultimate message the artist is trying to get across is that he is good at what he does and you should respect him for it.
The overall clarity of the sound is good with no element being off balance; the artist does not go overboard with the sounds nor does he mix in unnecessary gimmicks, in fact he shows restraint with the music allowing his skill and sonic palette to come through to positive effect. First listeners will appreciate the surprises found in the album and strive to recreate the same effects they've heard on that album.
If you have the time, listen to this album. Ugandan vaporwave may sound the same but trust me, it feels different.

Couperin organ Masses
Mathrafal replied to Denis O'Connor's topic in Organ MusicAs an update, the new edition will be published on 1 July and pre-orders (before 26/6) will be given a 20% discount. https://shop.cantando.com/WorkDetail/135579/

Couperin Pièces d'Orgue
Mathrafal posted a topic in Organ MusicDear Colleagues and Friends, I hope you will forgive my posting an advertisement but a number of you asked for information concerning my forthcoming publication of Couperin's Pièces d'Orgue, which will be made available on 1 July this year. This is the first critical edition of the music to have appeared in nearly forty years and is released to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the composer's birth. Details are found below, but I thought it worthwhile mentioning that, until 26 June, any pre-orders placed will receive a discount of 20%. I apologise again if this is inappropriate to mention the edition on these pages but thought forum members would like to benefit from the pre-order offer. Jon NEW CRITICAL EDITION OF François Couperin's two organ masses Pre-order before the 25.6 and get 20% discount on the price. Order here: https://shop.cantando.com/WorkDetail/135579/ PIECES D'ORGUE "The organ masses" Catalogue price NOK 348,- (ex VAT). Euro 37 Consistantes en Deux Meßes l'Une à l'usage ordinaire des Paroisses, pour les Festes Solemnelles, L'Autre propre pour les Convents de Religiuex, et Religieuses. François Couperin's two organ masses were published in the autumn of 1690 when the composer was just 22 years of age. Although largely forgotten until the early years of the 20th century, they nevertheless mark a high point in the repertoire of French baroque organ composition that draws not only on the musical styles of his predecessor at Saint-Gervais, Louis Couperin, but also upon such popular contemporary musical genres as dance music, overtures and, above all, the sophisticated and lyrical intimacy associated with both the air de cour and concerted viol music. To mark the 350th anniversary of Couperin's birth, this new critical edition examines the background to the masses' composition, reappraises both extant and lost source material and provides notes on performance practice, ornamentation and registration to help performers develop successful and stylistic interpretations. For the first time in an edition of French baroque organ music, the masses are provided appropriate chant settings to allow for their performance within a liturgical setting. Edition by Jon Baxendale Preface in English – Français Cover photo: Ken Schwarz Product information: Edition no.: C4441 ISMN: 979-0-2612-4441-1 Composer / Author: Couperin, François Title: Pièces d'orgue Detailed instrumentation: Organ Genesis of the work: 1690 Volume / Series: CANTANDO EARLY MUSIC Editor: Jon Baxendale Foreword / Introduction: Jon Baxendale Product format: Performance score(s), Anthology, Urtext edition Instrumentation: Organ Comments on the edition: With notes on performance practice by Jon Baxendale Language(s) of text: French, English Level of difficulty: 3 Publisher: Cantando Musikkforlag Binding: Hard back Pages: 186 Print run: 1st printing 2018 Availability: available on stock 1.7.2018
You mnight also be interested to know that this particular volume contains Eugene Gigout's signature with the words "Souvenier de l'Abbé Jules Bonhomme | Avril 1876" on the flyleaf.
Yes, it is interesting that we have been somewhat tainted by the Solemnes way of doing things. It seems to me that the tones were considerably longer in medieval and baroque days, which is why there are so many held tenors in the works of Dufay, Machaut etc., and why the quoted plainchant in the French organ masses is usually in semibreves. The Caeremonial Parisienne (1660? - I don't have my notes to hand) stated that the plainsong should be chanted at the same time the organ versets were played. This suggests that the norm was longish sustained notes, possibly supported by the organ, or that the pieces were so quick that no one noticed them happening!
For the Couvents mass, the new edition uses Messe de Ste. Cecile by Paul D'Amance, which is in Tone VI and quite appropriate to work alongside Tone VIII. This is a very interesting example of neo-gallican chant and, although syllabically based, contains a number of trembelements and tremblements appuyées. As I mentioned, the edition will be published in June and contains the liturgical contexts with the correct chant and appendices with Cuntipotens, the propers for the Sainte-Vièrge and Ste Cecile mass in full. Incidentally, both masses are also being recorded in June by Jean-Luc Ho and Les Méslanges at Saint Michel en Thiérache (Paroisses) and Juvigny (Couvents). The label is Harmonia Mundi. This should prove to be an interesting performance: there have been several, notably with Marcel Pérez (although this is a little old-hat nowadays). Ho is a fine player and the scholarship of the conductor is quite something to behold!
Thank you. This is AltMus, the same as AltNews! My apologies. I have updated the link and have also added it here>>>
The problem with the sources is that there are only four known copies and two that are now lost. Only one copy of the original 1690 edition exists, which was hand-copied with an engraved title page, extrait du privilège and a certificat by Michel-Richard Delalande, who acted as a censor for the office of the chancellor (a necessary requirement when applying for the rights to publish). This is found in the Bibliothèque Inguimbertine in Carpentras. The masses were only allowed to be copied by a bookseller, who presumably employed a couple of copyists since each mass (they were sold separately) is in a different hand. The hand of the Couvent's mass has been dubbed by Catherine Massip as copiste Z , who was responsible for a number of manuscripts between c. 1690 and 1706, many of which are identified as coming from the atelier of André Danican Philidor. One other copy of the original edition was known to exist as late as 1837 and was mentioned in Fétis's Biographie Universelle; this cannot have been the Carpentras edition since both masses were in the same hand. Copiste Z was also responsible for another major copy, which has the attractive title of F-V Ms Mus 4, which is housed in the Bibliothèque royale, Versailles. This is closely linked to two other known copies, one of dubious quality that was made in c. 1720 of the Paroisses mass and which is littered with omissions and mistakes; and another from c. 1840, which was copied by Alexandre Boëly from another lost manuscript, F-V Vm 2057. Bibliographical evidence suggests that this lost manuscript consisted of two sources, one from the late 17th/early 18th century and another from much later on. None of these copies can be traced directly back to Couperin and are probably related to a copy of an earlier draft since a number of common errors as well as variants that appear to have been revised for the publication, exist. No other known sources are extant, which is possibly a good thing. The new edition, which comes out next month, contains over 1,200 entries in the commentary, so great are the differences.
I read this with some interest as a new critical edition of the Couperin organ masses will be published in June by the Norwegian publishing house Cantando Musikkforlag. While researching for the edition, I came upon quite an interesting document in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in the hand of Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers, which is a gradual that is dated 1685-91. It describes the alternatim practice rather well. I thought it would be interesting to share with readers: The document may be found on Gallica's website in case anyone would like to see the original. It also contains the propers for the various masses, which – for those wishing to put at least the Paroisses mass into a liturgical context – may be combined with the setting of Cunctipotens genitor Deus, which is found on page cxvii of this document >>>.

English audio speakers hold numerous benefits in our disorderly globe today. Millions of people, birthed in position where their moms talked other languages, have chosen to discover English. Because speaking English still opens up even more doors in 2009. For far better or for worse, knowing English makes life much easier and also much better. As an example, the capability to talk English allows individuals to connect with numerous other individuals from around the world. It is likewise the official language of 51 nations, the leading service language, and also provides entry to an arising 21st century worldwide society. It has actually likewise helped Europe unite as millions speak English as a 2nd, third, or 4th language.
This popularity has likewise made our language a target around the world. Some globalization movie critics and also ethnic nationalists, specifically in smaller countries, attack English as subverting nationwide as well as team identities. Other movie critics question concerning social justice. 外籍英文老師 audio speakers have a tendency to be the a lot more enlightened, a lot more upscale, and also much more effective people in a number of establishing – and created – nations. This link in between talking English and also holding power frets some viewers.
I would certainly favor to believe that mentor English assists individuals choose from a broader menu of life options. English can be seen on television and billboards, listened to on the radio and read, seen and heard on the internet! The net, I would certainly recommend, has actually supplied users with a phenomenal quantity of liberty to expand, discover, and also learn. Liberty still sounds like a good word.

EPA accepting nominations for Stormwater Finance Workgroup members
Expert consultants sought to fill positions on task force, part of America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA).
WASHINGTON, DC, APRIL 9, 2019 -- U.S. EPA's Environmental Financial Advisory Board (EFAB) has accepted the charge to form a stormwater finance workgroup, meeting the Agency's requirements for the task force under the America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA). As part of this stormwater finance workgroup, the Agency is now accepting nominations for expert consultants to advise the workgroup.

Help Fund the Next Video Games Live Album!
Going through Kickstarter can be a risky business. We have seen games get the funding they need through this start up, and we have seen games fail to get the funding they need as well. Video Games Live, the decade running concert series, is giving a crack at Kickstarter to fund their third full length album. Video Games Live: Level 3 will be comprised of 15 to 18 tracks and including a whole list of titles that VGL has never done before. To note, this album, if funded, will be recorded in studio rather than live. They mentioned Shadow of the Colossus, I really hope they do a rendition of The Opened Way (a track which I am listening to right now on repeat). If you donate at least $5, you will receive a special 15 track compilation that will not be sold in stores or online. The album has a $250,000 goal and so far they have reached $128,000 with 15 days to go in the campaign. I am donating to this campaign. I have spent that past year or so on this site trying to highlight the incredible music this industry has produced since its inception. I have maintained support for Video Games Live and outlets like OverClocked Remix, showing how much musical creativity there is in the industry and the community. Help show your support with a simple donation, the donations start at just a $1. Information on the Kickstarter campaign can be found here and you can find out if Video Games Live is making a tour stop near you right here.

A DVB-S and DVB-S2 PCI card from Azurewave, also known as TwinHan. The Technisat SkyStar HD2 is a rebadge of this product, with different PCI subsystem IDs.
- 1 Overview/Features
- 2 Making it Work
- 3 External Links
A PCI card which supports DVB-S and DVB-S2 standard definition and high definition digital satellite TV. A common interface unit with a dummy PCI connector and standard faceplate is included (Tip: if the dummy PCI connector were trimmed by a few millimetres it would presumably fit in a PCI express slot too). The hardware supports rotors via DiSEqC 1.2, and the card has a 4-pin molex power connector, ostensibly to draw additional power from the PSU rather than load the PCI bus. A remote control and an infrared receiver cable are included.
It is currently not supported in current releases of Linux. However, experimental support for some of the device's features is available (see below for details).
Components Used
STB0899 multistandard demodulator (DVB-S and DVB-S2).
STB6100 silicon tuner.
Mantis PCI bridge (VP 1041 + 4046).
Fujitsu MB86A16 QPSK silicon tuner.

Here (http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-February/023821.html) is the output for the Technisat Skystar HD2. It looks like it is a Twinhan VP-1041/Azurewave AD SP400 rebadge. Note that the subsystem ID (1ae4:0001) is different to the one listed above for the Azurewave card (1822:0031). Note also that a different subsystem ID for a Skystar HD2 (1ae4:0003) has been reported for some cards at http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-July/027261.html so perhaps a change needs to be made to allow for this possibility too.
This is the output of lspci -vvn:

Skystar HD2 images:
Making it Work
No firmware required.
There is currently no in-kernel driver for this card. However, experimental support does exist which has been used successfully with the AD SP400 and the Technisat Skystar HD2.
S2API driver
This is the preferred driver. It has been decided that DVB-S2 support in the Linux kernel will be provided by the API known as S2API (and not multiproto). This API will be included in kernel version 2.6.28. An S2API driver for the Azurewave AD-SP 400/Technisat Skystar HD2 may be installed as follows:
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin ln -s s2-liplianin s2 [the scan-s2 and szap-s2 Makefiles expect this] cd s2-liplianin make sudo make install sudo reboot
Scan for channels with scan-s2:
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/scan-s2 cd scan-s2 [check the INCLUDE line in the Makefile is OK] make ./scan-s2 [options] -o zap dvb-s/[satellitefile] > ~/channels.conf
and tune with szap-s2:
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/szap-s2 cd szap-s2 [check the INCLUDE line in the Makefile is OK] make ./szap-s2 [options] -c ~/channels.conf [channel]
Or install one of the main multimedia applications like Kaffeine or MythTV.
Twinhan Driver
Twinhan provides a tarball containing a v4l-dvb linux driver and a version of dvb-apps on their website:
It uses an ioctl to switch between DVB-S and DVB-S2 modes. An application to do this called 'switch' is supplied.
Multiproto is not required.
It was released for kernel 2.6.18, and the Fedora Core 6 distribution, so some work is needed to port it to the latest kernel. Some preliminary work on this has been reported, and locking has been reported to be better than the multiproto driver, see http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-October/029642.html.
Multiproto Driver
A driver based on the multiproto API is available in the mantis tree at http://jusst.de/hg/mantis.
Kernel 2.6.20 works ok.
Obtain mantis/multiproto:
hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/mantis
Compile and install.
It has been reported that (reference?) the Technisat will not be recognised as a frontend unless the value of the MANTIS_VP_1041_DVB_S2 #define in mantis_vp1041.h is changed from 0x0031 to 0x0001 to suit the different subsystem ID. Even with this change the card currently will not tune unless placed in DVB-S2 mode first using szap, even if the channel you want is DVB-S (Can someone please recheck this and report, stating driver version etc?).
As described in http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-August/027897.html and http://www.munz.li/?p=47 if you have an 0003 card then change one line in mantis_vp1041.h to
#define TECHNISAT_SKYSTAR_HD2 0×0003
This has been fixed in the liplianin-s2 driver (see this patch http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-October/029912.html).
UPDATE 28 Jan 2008: multiproto was updated to sync with the latest dvb-v4l. For 2.6.24 kernel see http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-January/023457.html
UPDATE 11 Feb 2008: Initial support for Mantis VP-1041 was added to multiproto. See the changeset http://jusst.de/hg/mantis/rev/ef56e97c3613. However some problems were reported: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-February/023824.html, http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-February/023855.html.
UPDATE 21 Feb 2008: The Technisat Skystar HD2 has been reported as working (http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-February/023940.html). Note the necessary procedure with szap given in the post and the #define change mentioned above.
UPDATE 24 Feb 2008: The mantis tree has been updated to support the subsystem IDs of the SkyStar HD2, manual changes to the tree are no longer needed to get the card recognised at boot time. It now tunes successfully to both DVB-S and DVB-S2 transponders using the replacement szap.c described below. It is not necessary to use the multiproto tree as described above, use "hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/mantis", no patches are required. It is unclear whether DiSEqC switches and rotors are being driven correctly and/or with sufficient current http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-February/024060.html.
UPDATE 25 Mar 2008: mantis tree needs new szap, because of an API change. use offical dvb-apps hg tree (hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps). as of March 25 i need a patch to get the card working correctly (http://de.pastebin.ca/957250)
UPDATE 18 May 2008: szap from mantis tree works with the following patch: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-April/025137.html
UPDATE 27 Sep 2008: A possible solution to locking and scanning problems with the multiproto driver has been posted here: http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-September/029361.html.

Common Interface support
Preliminary support exists, but a number of problems have been reported. http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-October/029659.html.
Tuner / DiSEqC / Player support
provide details of how to use with VDR, MythTV and Kaffeine here -- this means you
Scan and szap
Scan is used to obtain a list of available channels (the channels.conf file).
Szap is used to tune the receiver to one of those channels.
Obtain scan from http://jusst.de/manu/scan.tar.bz2 and slot in the util/scan directory of hg http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps/. Fix up the .h includes to come from the earlier multiproto compilation.
UPDATE 18. June 2008: to get scan to work use this description: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_S2_PCI_HD_CI#Install_dvb-apps_.28scan.2Fszap2_based_on_DVB_API_3.3.29_.28Testing_based_on_revision_1200.29
Obtain szap.c from http://abraham.manu.googlepages.com/szap.c. Update it with the patch from http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-April/025137.html and compile it in util/szap according to http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-October/021474.html
UPDATE 18. June 2008: szap.c doesn't need to be patched anymore like stated above, it compiles fine downloaded from http://abraham.manu.googlepages.com/szap.c.
UPDATE 1st Aug 2008: see the suggestion here http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-August/027541.html to use the scan/szap patch here http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/attachments/20080605/05429f5c/attachment-0003.obj.
Using scan, szap and mplayer
Use scan to create a channels.conf file. Then use szap to tune to a channel by running the following command in a terminal:
szap -r -p -i -a 0 -l UNIVERSAL -t 0 -c channels.conf "channelname"
or for DVB-S2:
szap -r -p -i -a 0 -l UNIVERSAL -t 2 -c channels.conf
then type the following (for example) to tune to an HD channel:
and then use mplayer to view the video stream:
mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
(assuming the card is your adapter number 0)
Without the interactive -i option szap tunes and locks but is unkillable (with ctrl-c or kill) to change to another channel. Interactively type channel names in the terminal to tune to each one.
Without the -p option DVB-S2 streams are not playable.
For processors which are not fast enough to decode H.264 in real time you might try something like this (dual core: threads=2, quad core: threads=4)
mplayer -lavdopts fast:threads=2:skipframe=nonref -framedrop - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
provide details of how to use with DiSEqC -- this means you

Part 1: What Does It Mean To Be Missional?
*Terms such as "Missional," "Missional Living," and "Missional Communities" are buzz words that are understood and often used by vocational ministers. However, I would argue that these terms are new to the average church member and need to be clearly explained. As our church seeks to equip our members to live on mission for Christ through missional communities in South Florida, it is essential that we teach them what these terms mean and how they are lived out on a daily basis. This five-part series will attempt to define "missional living" for Christ followers.
A little over a year ago, while serving as Student Pastor, I asked my students the question, "Why does the church exist?" The answers were varied and eye-opening. It became abundantly clear that my students could not accurately and Biblically articulate why the church exists. I do not believe that this is simply the case for students; rather I am convinced that it is true of most people attending our churches today. If we expect our church members to live on mission, we must first define what that means and then teach them how to do it.
The answer to the question "Why does the church exist" is found in Matthew 28:19-20 where Jesus says to His disciples: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Simply put, the church exists to make disciples of all people. The mission of the church can be boiled down to these five simple words and must be repeatedly taught to our people. This is especially true of well-established churches that for years have focused primarily on Sunday services, weekly programming, and consumerism. It is a difficult, yet essential, mind shift for members of these churches.
If the purpose of the church is to make disciples of all people, then it also must certainly be the mission of every Christ follower. Unfortunately, this simple truth is not currently understood or implemented by most church members. For example, a mother was once furious with me because she said that I did not tell her daughter's boyfriend about Jesus. I responded to her by asking, "Are you a Christian?" She said, "Of course." To which I replied, "Then you have just as much a responsibility to share Jesus with your daughter's boyfriend as I do." She responded, "But you are a pastor." This prevalent mindset must be changed if churches are going to exist for the purpose of making disciples in their communities. It cannot simply be left up to the "professionals."
We need to explain clearly to our people what it tangibly looks like for every Christian to live as a missionary or "missionally" every day. I believe that the best way to do this is by training them to live missionally in three major areas: where they live, work, and play. To be a missionary where one lives, works and plays means to see your neighbors, co-workers, work-out partners, and children's teachers and coaches as people whom God has strategically placed in your life so that they may become disciples of Jesus. We must help our people understand that they do not have to quit their jobs, sell their homes, and move their families thousands of miles away to another country in order to be missionaries.
God has intentionally placed all Christians in their neighborhoods and jobs for the strategic purpose of being outposts for the Kingdom of Jesus in those places. This is much easier said than done, especially as we all grow increasingly busier and struggle to execute a full schedule. However, the solution is using our daily activities as our mission field.
Take a moment right now to make three headings on a piece of paper: Live, Work and Play. Under each heading, write the names of people you see every day or every week in those three places. These are the people God has sent you to make disciples. You are the only missionary these people may ever meet. This is what it means to live missionally.

Walkthrough - Captured
Walkthrough - Captured[edit]
- Virtual Combat and Infiltration Simulation
- Simulation 1: Long-Range Sniper Training
- Eliminate All of the External Summit Security
- Assassinate the Dignitary
- Simulation 2: Stop All Soldiers From Leaving the Lobby
- Simulation 3: Dignitary Assassination
- Access Second-Floor Stairwell
- Keep all Hosts Alive
- Disable the Power to Stop the Dignitary's Escape
- Locate and Possess Target Dignitary
|Volks Soldier
The first section of the simulation involves honing your sniping skills. You first need to simply snipe out all of the enemies on the field below you. Use the Left Trigger to zoom in your sighting. If you only hold it down half way, the scope won't zoom to its greatest magnification, which is better suited for scoping out the field. Don't forget to shoot out the enemies who are hanging out to the left and right of the platform.
Once you've cleared the ground of the soldiers, you'll have to shoot out the dignitary before he can reach the safety of the building. Ignore the enemies shooting at you. Just focus your aim on the one guy running towards the building. Shoot him and you'll pass the first section.
|Volks Soldier (rocket), Heavy Guard
The next room gives you two soldiers and tasks you with preventing all enemies from leaving the room. They will come in three waves. It is easiest to use the Heavy Guard on the upper platform for the first wave. If you do this, all of the enemies will try to swarm you on the upper walkways rather than try to escape. You can reach the upper platform quickly by using the Slip underneath the second host.
For the second wave, go down and use the rocket soldier. Aim for the their feet and keep your back to the door they are trying to leave by. Some will focus on attacking on you while others make a run for it. Ignore the ones who are shooting at you and keep everyone from leaving through the exit. The third wave is similar in nature to the second, but make sure that you heal with one of the health packs in between the rounds (the health packs are near the staircases on each side of the map.
|Summit Agent
This section is actually easiest if you just run right through it. Start by possessing the agent in the corner and then shooting the two guys in the room. If you open the door and just run down hall blasting the enemies in the face, you can make it around the corner and back to the staircase. Just run straight until you can't, turn to the left, and then take another left and follow that hall to the end.
When you reach the staircase, get out of your agent host and go through the Slip. Quickly hop into the power box and disable the power to prevent the dignitary from escaping. Go through the Slip and take possession of the agent waiting for you there. You'll have to shoot your way through this area until you reach an open elevator shaft.
Shoot the cables holding the elevator up. Leave the agent host and go possess the dignitary. Run him into the open shaft and flatten him on the rubble below. In the adjacent room you'll find the last agent to possess. This one has access to grenades that you will need to blow open doors en route to completing your task.
Begin by blowing up the first door to leave the room. Carefully make your way through this region. It is best to throw a grenade to blow open a door and then to throw another one into the room to clear it of enemies before proceeding. When you make your way around to the far side (where the staircase was on the first floor), you'll see two sets of doors on the right. The first one just contains enemies, so you can ignore it. The second room contains the dignitary.
Do not shoot him! Blow open the door and then rush the room and shoot out the guys guarding him. Take possession of him to complete the simulation.

When it comes to getting older, people have many preconceived notions that may or may not be true. Many of us are familiar with the stereotype of the elderly person who has issues with vision and hearing. The truth is, many people are growing older better than ever before and are living vibrant, exciting lives. Here are some suggestions to consider when you age so you can live happier.
Control your frowning to prevent wrinkles. It sounds silly, but it really is true. If you find yourself frowning, make sure to stop it. In time you will stop this habit.
Start taking resveratrol as a supplement. Calorie restriction is sometimes effective in combating aging. Resveratrol is found in both grapes and nuts. The substance itself is also derived from Japanese knotweed, which is frequently used to produce resveratrol supplements. Senna quinquangulata, originating in South America, is yet another known source.
Encourage your mind to stay active through learning. The old are the wisest and you should continue your path to intelligence. Find something you enjoy learning about and look into different possibilities for learning, such as a college class or books.
In order to age well, it is vital to follow a balanced diet. Emphasize fruits and vegetables, as well as fiber and whole grains, while getting rid of fats and cholesterol. Eating this way ensures that your body is getting the nutrients it needs.
Make sure you are receiving the appropriate amount of sleep for your particular age. By sleeping for a full seven hours or more each night you will maintain a normal hormone balance and feel more relaxed throughout the day. If you do not get enough sleep, you will find that you are more irritable and having a hard time enjoying life.
Be sure to get an ample amount of sleep every day. It is said that each person needs an average of eight hours daily. Lack of sleep can put people at risk for diseases, such as heart-related conditions and depression.
Do not use powder or foundation if you want to improve the look of your skin as you get older. Hydration is key to having healthy, wrinkle-free skin, especially as one gets older. Try using simpler cosmetics such as eye liner, mascara or lipstick.
It can be a time for you to truly enjoy life more than ever before. These suggestions will help you be healthier and happier so you can live out the rest of your life as happy as you can be.

How Do You Answer the Hard Questions About God?
We have all these thoughts about God.
There's the Old Testament Wrathful-God and the New Testament Servant-God and the God we imagine when we pray. There's the Father-God we seek to please, and the Friend-God we search out in tough times, and the Creator-God we imagine as we watch the sun set or notice the way birds fly in a V.
For many years, I tried to fit God in a box. Like trying to slip on a pair of shoes a few sizes too small. Like attempting to wriggle in a pair of jeans from fifth grade. I was trying to bottle the sun.
I don't know—I guess I had put certain labels on God and I thought I had figured Him out. A stranger or friend would say something about my God and I would argue or agree, thinking I knew Him pretty well because of all of the time we had spent together.
And I do know Him, but at the same time—I don't.
He's so much bigger and better and holier than my imagination can handle. He's too perfect to fit into the English language, too good to be described. He has too much love for us to bear.
Don't get me wrong—I'm a word person, through and through. I love that we can compare the Lord to a Father and Shepherd and Teacher. I love that we can imagine His love as being wider than the heavens and deeper than the sea. I could write about His characteristics and mercies for hours in analogies and metaphors and lists.
But I don't ever want to believe that's all there is to our Savior. I think there's so much more to Him than we will ever understand this side of heaven. When I really meditate on this God, I am completely blown away. To me, the only appropriate response is awe and surrender—even in the little I know about Him.
There are a lot of people who try to completely understand this God before they agree to serve Him, and I think they will forever be emptying the sea with an eyedropper. They will go in circles a thousand times—trying to comprehend the incomprehensible.
They will continue to ask, "Why would a good God allow bad things to happen?" or "How could a loving God send people to hell?"
These are big, weighty thoughts. These tough questions keep them up at night, tossing and turning and pacing. People bear these questions as burdens and point to them as reasons to turn away from Jesus.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think these questions need to be answered in clear and systematic lists. I used to try to answer this way—in cohesive arguments and reasoning. I would point to the glory of God and His righteousness; I was trying to will the blind to see, little by little. And maybe there's a time and place to respond in this manner, but I don't do it anymore.
Now I just simply say,
"I don't know. But He is so good."
"I don't know, but He has so much love for us."
"I have seen His goodness, I have felt His love, and I have experienced His grace."
At some point I stopped trying to give all the answers and started trusting that He has all of the answers.
There's no math equation that will equal God (Thank heavens because I can't solve a math problem TO SAVE MY LIFE). There's no picture that will sum up His attributes, no word vast enough to describe His goodness. No amount of earthly intelligence can comprehend the infiniteness of the Almighty. No one can explain Him away or put Him in a box.
All I know is that this mighty, holy, dangerous, and incomprehensible God is real and alive and good. I'm okay with not understanding all of His ways, because He is perfect and I am not. He is omniscient and I am not. He exists beyond the boundaries of time and space and I, most definitely, do not.
At first I thought my inability to completely understand God and all of His plans was incredibly frustrating. But then I saw the peace and hope in this. This shouldn't stop us from seeking to know Him, but encourage us all the more.
To me, it's a soothing fact—we don't have to understand everything about Him; we just have to trust Him. It takes the pressure off, loosens the chains, and continuously brings us to our knees in worship. We are compelled to a childlike faith and dependency in its truest and purest form.
We don't have all of the answers, but our Father does.

The Whitby Photography Blog (More Here) – Is written by Glenn Kilpatrick, The Whitby Photographer ®
As many of you will be aware, Ive been closely following the adventures of the local trout And Salmon fishermen here at Whitby. A few weeks ago now I made a post to my facebook group about The boat Phoebe and its crew.
These guys have been fishing out of Whitby for Migratory fish since they were young men. Fishing in this way has been their livelihood for decades now, but sadly the powers that be have now decided its time to make things difficult for these small time fishermen.
In passed years, fixed net fishing for Trout and Salmon off the Yorkshire Coast has been permitted for 4 months of the year. This has now been cut to 2 months with the threat of the fishery being closed all together next year (2020).
The season that ran from may until the last day of August must now finish on the last day of June, and any Salmon caught in the 2 month fishing season must now be returned to the sea, dead or alive. That seems pretty ludicrous to me.
Today I watched the lads shoot their nets off Sandsend Sea Front. Working from the mothership Donna Marie, Pheobe is used to row close to the shore to set the nets on the incoming tide with a hope of catching any passing Trout.
The photographs below are just a small selection of those shot. They are available to purchase in our online shop here. Or should you wish to buy framed prints, drop me a line to email@example.com
Many thanks for looking.

Five years ago, Molly Weaver, Bryan Anderson, and Nathan Howell started a podcast focused on the local legend of a monster called The Blackwood Bugman. Quickly, the investigation grows out of their control, as they discover that, not only are the legends seemingly true, many people in Blackwood have turned up dead or disappeared without a trace. Worse, there may be a reason why no one has ever uncovered the truth before. Someone is watching them, willing to do whatever it takes to keep the secret. Their recordings have finally been released.

Things I've learnt from one-and-a-bit years of Duolingo
I've been using Duolingo for about 470 days now to learn Chinese. There are a few things I've learned on the way, but mostly I've learned to apply the lessons of a book I read partway through this journey. In this post, I'll talk about that and what it leads me to think about how to turn this blog into a durable habit.
Pretty clear, I guess
The book is Atomic Habits by James Clear.1 The basic premise of the book is that we can improve our lives quite a lot by making minor changes that stack up over time and that the best way to do that involves reducing our reliance on motivation and will.
All pretty intuitive so far, but what does this mean in practice? Well:
1) You need to make the thing you want to do the default option, in some sense 2) You need to get yourself in a situation where you don't have to go to a gigantic amount of effort each time in order to build a habit
The book also suggests that you need some kind of reward mechanism for engaging in the habit you're trying to build. I found that unnecessary, for reasons I'll expand upon in a little bit.
First things first
How did I make it the default option? Well that's easy, I just put the app icon for Duolingo in a really prominent place on my phone and decided that I would do it every day after brushing my teeth in the evening. So far so good. Thing is, this is designed to work really weell for a simple, bite-sized task that can be done based on a trigger like brushing your teeth.
Even better, you can do it while brushing your teeth. This is trickier though.
What about a blog? Writing these posts actually takes a little time to think and plan aside from the writing itself, which isn't necessarily quick either unless I've got something I really want to get off my chest. So, here's where another trick in James Clear's book helps.
I've gotten into an extremely foolhardy bet with my friend Tom, which involves us both writing a blog post each week and seeing who can achieve greater reach, with the winner receiving a specified treat from our local café. Unfortunately given that he has suddenly turned into an opinion writer with no shortage of ideas I'm probably in a lot of trouble with regards to that bet. Fortunately, that's not the point.
What is the point is that now we have a goal to work towards. This alleviates part of the problem with turning something that isn't bite-sized into a habit by giving a clear definition of whether or not the desired action has occurred. The problem now is one of how to make it reasonably automatic within that time frame.
Unproductively wasting time
One problem I stumbled upon with building a Duolingo habit is that sometimes you're just going through the motions. When you do the exercises every day, it's inevitable that to some degree you rote learn the content. Don't worry about breaking that just now, but instead figure out how to make sure you can learn something on top of it. It doesn't even have to be much, but in any event you don't want to come away from a Duolingo session having successfully avoided any mental exertion at all (which we are of course so good at avoiding).
One thing you can do is make yourself say out loud either the question or answer from one question from each exercise. Could just be the first, to make it easy and get it over with. But that way you can't do a non-zero amount of thinking in the worst case.
Similarly with a blog. The challenge presents slightly differently. It's very easy to want to write a blog post with little or no content in it, in order to just tick the box. So how do you make sure that in the worst case, you haven't just written a bunch of words? I don't have a great answer for this yet, unfortunately, given that I've only been writing this blog for a little bit.
There are a couple of things that point me in the direction of a solution, though. The first is to cut it down. My most widely-read post so far is actually perhaps the simplest one I've written. It's very tempting to pack more and more thoughts into a post and wind up feeling like you're going to too much effort. Instead just write the whole thing down as one sentence. Then turn that into a post.2 Biting of more than you can chew is the fastest way to turn the exercise of writing a blog post into a box-ticking exercise, because you start minimising the effort on each part of the post and the whole suffers as a result.3
It's also worth taking the effort off yourself to remember a coherent argument when you sit down to write someting. So any time I have an idea for a post, I immediately create a draft with a single-sentence summary and a suggested publication date in the file name. That way, I have a few ideas I can work on and a way of prioritising which gets done. If you only write a bit of a post in one session, then that's fine. By having a few being pushed forward at any one time, you don't have to worry about finding the time for it. Now it's possible to just write a paragraph of a post according to some schedule and the bigger picture takes care of itself.
Stuff that didn't matter
Part of the problem with setting out on writing a blog or learning Chinese is the lure of the goal is in a way self-defeating. We want to feel like we've accomplished the thing we're setting out to achieve, but allowing yourself to contemplate that makes it harder because now you're focusing on the amount of work you have to do rather than just getting it all done.
James Clear recommends rewarding yourself on successful completion of a task (or someone else in the case of my idiotic bet), but I find that you don't need to emphasise this too much. Instead it can be easier to make the whole thing unthinking, in a way. Focussing on the goal or what you still want to achieve is demotivating in a way, I've found. Instead just try to make sure you get stuff done and that sort of thin has a way of magically taking care of itself.
The downside is you don't get the warm and fuzzy feeling involved in getting somewhere, instead it's more of a mild surprise at saying something accurate in Chinese. Which is its own kind of fun, I guess.

2 Oh! by it many a heart is soothed,Which else would be with sorrow crushed,And many a dying pillow smoothed,And sob of parting anguish hushed.Across the troubled sky of timeIt doth the bow of promise bend,A symbol of that cloudless climeThat waits the soul when time shall end.

VALLETTA, Malta (AP) — Malta's prime minister says a car bomb has killed an investigative journalist on the island nation.
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said the bomb that killed reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia exploded Monday afternoon as she left her home in a town outside Malta's capital, Valetta.
Muscat says her death resulted from a "barbaric attack" that also assaulted freedom of expression.
Local media reports say the 53-year-old Galizia had recently denounced threats on her life.
Politico named her as a journalist "shaping, shaking and stirring" Europe with her reports.
The blast occurred as Galizia drove her car on a road outside her home in the town of Mosta.

Granted, there is not sufficient time, stack sizes are not deep sufficient, and there are not enough hands in a sit n go poker match to be too creative. Consequently, some of these ideas if utilized in the wrong situation could lead to disaster. But, all you truly need are a few unpredictable plays to confuse your opponents.

There are "millions" of versions of poker. In each city, in every condition, in every town there appears to be a new title and a new style of taking part in poker. You can see people collected about a table with cards in fingers, cash or chips in the middle, all playing poker.
Another way that action is utilized in the sport of poker is to explain what is taking place during the hand. If there tends to be a lot of players in a hand that are doing a lot of betting and raising happening in a short quantity of time, then one can say that a lot of action is happening. In the exact same feeling, somebody who holds pocket aces could be considering that they want someone to give him action, which means that they want someone else to be in the hand so that they will be able to perform a large pot with the best hand in the game before the flop.
A great poker technique should be reviewed with many factors in thoughts. The first component involves taking a look at the bets that are being used in a strategy. It will assist to create a good strategy when figuring out when it is smart to bet much more and when it is very best to wager much less. A good technique can also be utilized to assist with figuring out the different types of standards that can be utilized when trying to figure out what is taking place with regards to the money a player has.
In this variant of poker each participant is dealt with a complete hand. Following the hand has been dealt the first betting spherical starts. The purpose the game is called attract poker is that player's can create and improve their hand in the subsequent betting spherical by 'drawing cards'. The game becoming with each participant being dealt 5 playing cards face down.
Some of the best poker celebration meals ideas involve a crock pot. Crock pots can be put off to the aspect and need small to no care. You can play your sport with out having to be concerned about your food burning or heading chilly. click here of chili or stew functions well for a Poker Game simply because it goes in a bowl and utilizes a spoon, which means your fingers aren't heading to get messy. Poker party foods that include bowls ought to often be used at video games with large tables. Accidents do happen, but they are even much more likely when everybody sits their bowl on a tiny desk along with their beverages and playing cards.
Last but definitely not minimum, short handed Texas Holdem is just in no way boring. I am stating this simply because it incorporates a lot of energetic aspects of poker. If your purpose in taking part in poker, just like me, is for enjoyable on top of the cash, then I'm certain that playing brief video games are much more suitable for you. Just be cautious you don't burn up a gap in your pocket!

The Experts
Buy above the median
John McGrath
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
I recommend buying a property that is 10 per cent to 20 per cent above the median price of a home in that suburb. An average home in an in-demand area will likely yield good capital growth. But a slightly more expensive house is likely to have more desirable features and be more in-demand, and thus yield superior growth.
The difference in funding an investment property worth $400,000 versus $350,000 will often not be that much when you take into account the higher rental you receive. And those extra features – a garage or district views, for example – may mean an extra 1 per cent growth, which can make a big difference over time.
For owner-occupiers, it may be a little more difficult to fund a better property because you won't be receiving a yield the way an investor does from renters. However, with some careful budgeting, you may be able to manage it. If you need to reduce your usual spending for a few years to fund a better property purchase, I say it's worth it!
Your home is your greatest asset – the most important property you'll ever own. Not only will you achieve greater capital gains over the years compared to a less expensive property, you will also enjoy the benefits of a better quality home – a large sunny backyard for the kids or being able to walk to the train station, shops and cafes. These are the features you will pay a bit more for when buying your next property. The good news is that other people will also pay more in the future when it comes time for you to sell.
Here are the staples of an 'above average' property:
- A quiet suburban location away from major roads and traffic noise.
- Full of natural light – a sunny north aspect at the rear is ideal.
- Close proximity to CBD transport, shops, cafes, parks, schools.
- Walking distance to the beach – the value of a property in a beachside suburb is diminished if you have to drive to the beach.
- An above average land size – in major capitals where land supply close to the CBD is short, the land itself is usually more valuable than the house.
- Good condition – modern, comfortable with a good floor plan. Original or rundown houses in great locations are good buys. You can fix the property but not the location, aspect or block size so always make these factors the priority.
- Privacy and a pleasant outlook from most rooms. Looking into neighbouring properties on all sides is a real negative. A pleasant district outlook at least from the main living and entertaining spaces makes a property more valuable.
- Ample parking. A good quality three bedroom apartment should ideally have double (non-tandem) parking to suit executive couple buyers in the future. A good quality three bedroom house should have at least one parking space to suit small families who often only have one car.
Buy an above average property to achieve higher capital growth and enjoy the ride.Important information: This content has been prepared without taking account of the objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular individual.

Stepping up his criticism of the Prime Minister over alleged corruption in the Rafale deal, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday dared him to a debate and claimed Narendra Modi would not be able to answer his questions on the issue "even for a second". Rahul, on his first visit to Karnataka after his elevation as Congress chief, targeted Modi on several issues, including recent incidents of rape of girls in BJP-ruled states, farm loan waiver and GST.
"Let there be a debate for however long you want… Narendra Modi will not be able to answer my questions even for as second, because Narendra Modi has stolen from India. Narendra Modi favoured his friend Anil Ambani, whose company never had any experience of making an aircraft, in bagging the contract," he said at a rally.
Rahul said the previous UPA government had signed the contract so that public sector Hindustan Aeronautics Limited could make the aircraft through technology transfer and create employment for the youth of Karnataka. "One day Narendra Modi goes to France and changes terms of the contract. My dear young people, Modiji has taken away your jobs from you. If he has the guts, a 56-inch chest, bring your (the BJP's) prime minister in front of me, in front of the country."

India had inked an inter-governmental agreement with France in September last year for procurement of 36 Rafale fighter jets at a cost of around Rs 58,000 crore. Rahul has been alleging that the cost of Rafale jets was inflated under the new terms of the contract.
In an interactive meeting with self-help groups at Shamshabad on the outskirts of Hyderabad , Rahul took a jibe at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, saying that a one -family government was in power in the state. "In Telangana, a one-family government is in power and that family gets all the benefits. Farmers' lands are being taken away in the name of development," he said.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao responded, "Rahul Gandhi needs to grow up and mature. Due to his immature talk and behaviour, he is becoming an asset to rival parties. Instead of reading speeches prepared by someone he should verify his facts and speak."

Happy Pi Day! One of my co-workers made and brought in three separate pies, apple and banana cream and key lime. (and if you don't know about this holiday, it is because today is March 14, or "3/14" or "3.14" as in "Pi")
Starting with Shahrukh, because he is easy. Chocolate with chili powder, "hot chocolate" cream pie. You bit in and it is creamy and sweet and a little bitter, and then POW, the chili spice after taste hits you and all the other flavors become that much richer.
Madhuri! I already figured this out for my Thanksgiving post, she is clearly apple pie with whipped cream.
Shepherd's pie, big and meaty and filling and kind of low-class with no interesting in style or surfaces…Prabhas, obviously.
Cherry pie, sometimes too sweet and simple, but delicious when prepared correctly, Alia!
Strawberry-Rhubarb (my favorite) sweet and tart at the same time, simple and natural and classic but also complex, Kajol!
Key Lime pie, very cool and a little tart and tropical….Jacqueline Fernandez
Banana Cream Pie, way too sweet and soft, always available and yet no one really wants it, works best when thrown around by other people rather than as an actual taste on its own…Shraddha!
Mango pie, desi twist on a western classic, the best of both, not a good idea at first glance but eventually perfected into something wonderful…Katrina Kaif!
Strawberry cream, the sweeter, cheaper, less natural option. Looks great, but maybe doesn't taste great. Sonam
Pie for Dogs! Albie Dog, Mr. Albus Baxter Barkeridge
