Re: filtering data
Hi, try this, MyFilter[p_?NumericQ, y_, x_, xp1_] := (1 - p)*y + p*((1 - p)*x + xp1)/2 MyFilter[p_?NumericQ, y_List, x_List] := Drop[MyFilter[p, y, x, RotateLeft[x]], -1] I can't reproduce the crash because I have a Octane wit 768 MB RAM. You should not try to print out the result in the Frontend. The formating of a huge data set cost time and memory.

My submission for PhotoFortnight's theme of "red", a slightly-haggard roseate spoonbill in an out-of-the-way enclosure at the Assiniboine Park Zoo.
The lighting was inadvertent – this bird was on a perch just beneath an opaque skylight, perhaps ten feet away from me and another ten feet above the ground. With select cropping of the background, it gives an in-the-studio effect I really like.

Model Railroader
12 issues / year
Includes 14 day free trial
Apr 2017
( 82)
The world's most popular model railroading magazine covers the hobby from beginner to expert. Model Railroader magazine has been the industry-leading model train magazine since 1934. Each issue features step-by-step modeling and construction projects, fascinating photo tours of model train layouts, insightful reviews, how-to tips from the experts, and much more!
Bought last month's MRR and the Extra Code had expired, what's with that? I guess MRR doesn't allow you to see the past issues "Extra" content. No links work in the magazine it is like they just converted everything over to a jpeg to make the PDF cause the text even looks bad compared to other magazines when you zoom in. I have piles of the paper magazine in my layout room and thought I would again try them out as a digital format. I like seeing and reading about the layouts that others have created but MRR is not as willing as others I have seen with content quantity. Model Railroaders should check out Trackside Model Railroading or TSMRR for short. All the issues are packed with layout content. This month's issue for an example has 40 plus images on the main layout and 25 for the other and they are all really big images too, they do not skimp out. They always do a video for each layout in their magazine, you just click on the video image and it launches their web page that has the HD video. Way easier to access all of the content for their magazine. They are not on Google play yet but I am glad to go to their site and get their copy there until they do.
Nothing extra This is nothing extra - the exact same thing as in the physical magazine, which wouldn't be a problem, except that you still have to pay a certain amount for the electronic version, even if you already have the paper subscription. Not to mention, this "video plus" thing is being pushed more and more, and has started including things that used to come with the normal subscription. It is very disappointing to see model railroader go in this direction.
Like the paper magazine better than E-publishing one. All books and magazines should stop E-publishing and go back to paper only as readers we will own a copy of the book/magazines for more time then computers will store the info; plus you can take paper to/into places you cannot with E-publishing. There are books an documents now are millions of years old that we can still read. Computers break and stop working. Think about that!
Why is everyone crying about this magazine? It is still the #2 model railroading magazine out there. The 2nd best model railroading magazine out there. I have Eve y issue since they started, it's refreshing to get it digitally. Thank You MRM.
Digital price the same as paper Well... the publisher must like pocketing extra money. Where is the discount for not paying for the paper, printing, postage? The work is already done. I don't mind paying for a digital version, but not full price!
I'm ready to buy but.. General search page says $3.99 but when I click on it, next page wants $5.99? Fix it guys then you have one more customer and better feedback score.

Skip to comments.Russian Military Intel Tells Kremlin Obama Fired Military Officers Because He 'Fears a Coup'
Posted on 11/21/2012 5:23:06 AM PST by Reaganite Republican
'The information I heard today was that General [Carter] Ham as head of AFRICOM received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.
This story doesn't make sense to me. Firing a military officer doesn't avoid a coup - - it has a better chance of promoting one.
"... Obama is purging the officer ranks of as many conservatives as he can find, and replacing them with those whose first loyalty is to the resident, not the Constitution.
. . . . Article and comments.
I agree with te premise of this article.
Read why here:
Commie Obama Impeachment File.
I admit I look to outside the US to rid us of this PAB, as we were just shown we can't do it from within the borders the constitutional way.
Isn't this what we peons thought happened to all those generals in a matter of days?
I bet you that the demoted Black general demoted for "lavish spending of taxpayers' money" IS anti-0b0z0 in spite of his skin color!
No rumor is true until the government denies it. - Soviet proverb.
You think it's a stretch, I think it's a stretch, but does Obama think it's a stretch?
With the exception of Bronco Bama, I'd have to agree with you.
The German Labor Front was born well before the night of the long knives as Hitler saw the trade unions as too powerful and able to challenge him.
I note that right now American unions are being encouraged to overstep their limits; destroying Twinkies and shutting down LAX are not maneuvers to generate public support.
A few more brilliant moves like that and the public will be ready for Obama to save us from excessive union independence.
Strength through joy.
On the bright side, Hitler's new found control of the economy reduced unemployment from 25% (about where ours is now) to effectively zero... </small thread hijack>
The Black Friday Walmart walkouts are being orchestrated straight out of the White Hut. Van Jones has been planning it for four years.
Once Walmart goes down, the rest of the employers in the country will follow in short order.
Ubama is going to give the unions card-check, and the NLRB is going to force all employers to turn over the names and addresses of all their employees to the unions.
With these two tools, Trumka and his fellow travelers can forge the signatures of employees and unionize any company without the consent of the employer or employees.
And their first target is going to be Walmart and the hundreds of millions of dollars of union dues they will be able to extort for the Democrat campaign-finance slush fund.
Soon, all the workers in the entire country will be paying into the Democrat campaign-finance slush fund through forced union membership and forced union dues.
Labor unions are America's Communist Party.
***You think it's a stretch, I think it's a stretch, but does Obama think it's a stretch? ***
Come to think of it, don't heavy cannibis users tend to be paranoid ?
"Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though."-Obama
Do you think POTUS has enough money these days for a little blow?
Dave's not here man...
Maybe a plane crash in Russia? Who knows? My gut feeling is that it will end tragically in any event.
Isn't this what we thought happened to the secret service men, too?
This story line orginated with Sorcha Faal. She/he is a well known liar, familiar to even the most self deluded people in kookville. Faal's stories have a pattern - they come out with new information from the "Kremlin" are woven together with some truth and a lot of paranoid fiction. Faal's fed every topic of fear I have been studying for a while now from Elenin to any and all American political fears.
It may be true that the removal of officers has something to do with an Islamofasctist, pinko purge. But Faal would not be the one to listen to. I find it interesting that the "truthers" try to hide the orginating source of these articles since they know most people are onto Faal.
Everyone should trace the orginal source of these articles to see if Faal is started it. If Faal's involved, it's safe to forgitaboutit.
The mucous membrane of both sides of the septum (the cartilage that separates the nostrils) can be damaged by decreased blood supply, along with drying, crusting, and nose picking. This results in a perforation or hole in the septum with more crusting, foul secretions, nosebleeds, and whistling with nasal breathing, the so-called coke nose.
The girls said they don't go into his bedroom because he's smelly, there were comments that it stinks on Airforce One, he picks his nose in public, I've seen comments that there's a whistle when he speaks - and flies find him irresistible:
Some will feel a great sense of power and competence that may be associated with the delusion or false sense of grandeur, known as cocainomania.
Sigmund Freud's cocaine abuse symptoms brilliantly exposed in:
more whistling esses
Romney pretty much stuck to the Queensbury Rules, and The Won became The Won Again.
Joan Rivers is "very apolitical," but there's something about President Barack Obama that annoys her.
"He's got that whistle. Every other word is 'ssssweet.' 'Ssss.' It drives me up the wall. Listen to him from now on. He whissstles jussst a little."
I've never noticed that, but on Thursday I found a Facebook page called, "Obama whistles when he says 's' and it's annoying!" The page has 111 followers.

This review is from: Noctua NH-D15 SSO2 D-Type Premium CPU Cooler, NF-A15 x 2 PWM Fans
Pros: Believe the hype, this cooler is awesome. While in a non-overclocking configuration and using the NLAs supplied, I could not tell the computer was on. My FX-8350 on stock settings while preforming a 3 day burn in the temps never went above 50 degrees Celsius. While overclocking without the NLAs this cooler can be heard but just barely. I was able to hit 4.9Ghz with my FX-8350 @ 1.5volts and it was stable at 78 degrees Celsius. Not a sustainable or desirable result but does show how well this cooler dissipates heat. The overall best feature is the silent performance while using the LNAs and silent fan profiles within the motherboard. This setup is so quiet I have to listen to music while computing just to break the silence.
Cons: So quiet I hate my other computers now.
Other Thoughts: This cooler is gigantic so you will want to measure your clearances before purchasing. FYI this cooler measures.
6.30" x 5.90" x 5.30" ( Without Fan ) (H x W x D)
6.30" x 5.90" x 6.33" ( With Fan) (H x W x D)
This review is from: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor
Pros: Fast and cheap CPU. Overclocked to 4.9Ghz with no problems on ASUS crosshair V formula Z motherboard. Black edition is awesome because you have full control for overclocking or underclocking (which ever fits your build goals). This is my second AMD build after a century of intel only builds and I couldn't be happier. All the money you save on the CPU can be diverted to more important parts (in my case GPU).
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: stock cooler is from cooler master but is severely limited.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard with 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support and UEFI BIOS
Pros: Very overclocking friendly with 8+2 VRM design and allot of passive cooling onboard. My FX-8350 is hitting 4.9Ghz with no problems and more head room is left. This motherboard is known to scale into the 5.5Ghz range with the right setup. Has an intel Gigabit LOM so connectivity is not a problem and it also has wireless for the compromisers. Noctua NH-D15 clears with room to spare. Fastest booting motherboard I have dealt with (minimal UEFI tweaking required). Onboard power/reset switches for ease of bench testing.
Cons: Price is high but you have to pay to play.
Other Thoughts: Lots of cables and accessories.READ FULL REVIEW

Rugby trips of a lifetime and hazy away days
What's the best rugby trip you've been on? Ever. Anywhere.
As Edinburgh fans scramble around borrowing money for a trip to Dublin, my mind started wandering.
Will the Scottish rugby team hit winning ways soon, who was the biggest person ever to play for Scotland (Richard Metcalfe I think) and will Donald Trump buy Murrayfield, call it Trump and Grind, and stick a couple of wind turbines on the back pitch?
Actually I wasn't really, I was thinking about going back to Ireland's capital and packing light. Yes, Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty but it's not much use if you're in your fifties, or something like that.
And from there my mind raced to all the places I've played rugby in, or had the luck to go to and watch games. You and me, we like away trips.
I've been tweeting to try to get Edinburgh fans to come to our Sport Nation programme on Saturday morning and I hope that plenty make the journey to the Aviva stadium or it'll be like going to a new branch of a fast food restaurant called Little Belfast. All red and white and "Stand up for the Ulstermen..." and the rest of it.
Rugby fans have always been fond of an "away day" (pic: SNS)
As a kid the first trips were on "tours" to the Borders of Scotland to get bits of my body kicked by players from Hawick, Kelso, Jedburgh and Melrose. Those were excellent weekends. In fact, I think we nearly won a game once.
The older I got the more travel beckoned: Dublin and Aurrilac with the then Scotland "B" team, the other home nations and a tour of France and Spain with Scotland. Spain as part of a, yes, football World Cup, and then two southern hemisphere trips with the Lions.
In the middle of all that was a game against Australia where, at the post-match function, I sat beside a really outgoing young stand-off called Michael Lynagh and I just want to put in writing that I really hope he's Okay. To heck with the rugby he played, that is a decent man.
And then with the Beeb, and I know I'm one of the luckiest blokes in the world, there have been some amazing times.
Do you know what though? See when you step off a plane anywhere in the world I'm kind of proud that my game is rugby. Fans will rib each other without real bitterness, there is no segregation.
I remember being in a bar in Brisbane and some Aussie found out who we worked for and asked who we were. I said that the person to my left was my producer. "Oh." said the Aussie. "And just what kind of films exactly is it you star in?" with a wink.
On the same trip I was woken by kids surfing at half five in the morning, I've had monkeys throw dates onto my hotel's tin roof outside Durban in South Africa, and I've sat with a Scottish team on tour in the middle of France as they dished up octopus stew - and nobody touched it.
There is something about a rugby town that sticks with you. Dublin this weekend will put on its green hat and welcome the folks from Edinburgh and Belfast.
It'll be Guinness and buskers and Grafton Street and walking and laughs and food and very little sleep.
When the Leinster men go to Bordeaux to play Clermont Auvergne it'll be wine and warmth and smoky sausage barbecues, baguettes and funny hats and a language barrier.
All are equally lovable, and all marvellous, which is how an Edinburgh win would be this weekend.
For Edinburgh to reach the Heineken Cup final they have to get that game plan working and keep the ball from Ulster who are a good side. Can Edinburgh win? Possibly...
I'm not going to be fancy. The best ruby trip of my life was to the Scottish Borders. The first time for most things is the best. I was 17, in a car being driven by an older team-mate and crammed to the limits by anything up to five players and their kit and golf clubs, passing Carstairs and Carluke, down through Peebles, and then into a land of green I'd never seen before.
The hospitality was as amazing as the physicality on the pitch. And then there's that pint in your hand, a hotel bed (I know, extravagance) a hungover breakfast full of smiles and memories, a day off on the Saturday, a repeat performance in the shape of being kicked to bits on the Sunday, and then back up the road to get ready for another hopelessly out-of-sorts Monday at University.
Man it's been a good life.
So if you're in Dublin I'll see you there - but, before you go let me know the best rugby trip you've ever been on.

Best rugby trip, if you ignore the result, was Brisbane in 2003, for the Australia v Scotland world cup game. I was based in Sydney for the tournament and flew up to Brisbane. For the return journey, I hired a car and took my time driving back down. Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour (home of the Big Banana), inland along the Waterfall Way (in the middle of a drought), through Dorrigo and the Hunter Valley, back to Manly Beach, where I stayed in the same hotel as the English team. Happy days. Then I received the credit card statement...

Living in France, best ever trip was to Edinburgh with my local Vets team to play against my old club Edinburgh Accies. So successful that the year after we went to Dublin and last year to Italy. This year we've invited all the teams back plus an English one and a Welsh one and are organising our inaugural Veterans Six Nations (next weekend). Only problem is, I'm representing France.....

Vancouver Island
It was so nice to be somewhere where being a Brit was actually considered to be a good thing. Playing Castaways, Cowichan and Oak Bay (the former and the latter are apparently now one entity), the friendliness of the place was so refreshing, I would love to go again, only if I was 24 again though, mid 50's will not cut it

A fair few good trips! St Etienne in 2007 was pretty spectacular - especially the fun and games of Le Glasgow. Last year in Auckland was also memorable (despite the result), locals were very much supporting Scotland and the whole vibe was just really friendly.

A lot of great rugby memories. Tough tours to Cornwall and Swansea. And a tasty 10days in Bermuda in the 80's as part of a College team; narrowly losing to both Bermuda and Bermuda U21's, but what a crack!
Edinburgh and Dublin to watch England lose in the 5/6N was a real bonus for a Welshman :-)

Roscoff,norther France 1983.
As a university (then poly) rugby club to play a rugby tournament fully paid for by the students union. Problem was was that there was no tournament and no one took their boots. Except the scrum half who believed us when we said that we have matches on both days. He didnt find out until the captains run on the saturday morning when he was the only one down for breakfast. One slightly dodgy moment did occur when we did meet another club on tour who fancied a match. Luckily we were all too ill to play by that stage. An extensive tour report was written and published that recored that we were unbeaten (on tour, yeah I know ridiculous), until the final where we lost to an Italian invitation XV.

Best ever away trip for me was San Sebastian 2005 HCup quarter final against Biarritz. OK we lost, but the whole town was jumping for the game, the sun shone, the beer was cold and the atmosphere electric.
The only place to match the welcome I experienced there as a travelling supporter is Cape Town, where the locals really go out of their way to make the away support feel welcome.

Parc des Princes, Paris, February 1995
France 21 - Scotland 23
Impromptu road trip from Brussels lead to 4 tickets procured at cost price on the street, with free beer thrown in, incredible and gracious atmosphere from French hosts.
Followed by first victory there in almost 3 decades - Townsend to Hastings between the posts.
Followed by tremendous, long night of bagpipes, dancing and general jubilation in 'phone boxes, on top of bars, though Metro tunnels.
Hard to beat.

Can't narrow it down to one but I can to two.
The first was Dublin in 2000, being a rather large 16 year old I managed to find local bars more than willing to let me in with my older team mates which led to more than one loss of memory. Played two great games of rugby and wasn't too upset at the hiding we got at Landsdowne Road.
Second was as a 22 year old and we went to Colorado after being invited by someone with contacts. Guys rugby clubs are the same the world over with warm welcomes and cold beers over flowing. It should noted on tour to America that a Kilt and a Scottish accent serves you very will with the Local females

Rome is my personal favourite, we go as a group of between 8 and a dozen and have been each time Wales have played there since 2005. The atmosphere outside the Stadio Flamino both before and after the game was amazing and I only hope the Italians can replicate it at the Olympic stadium when we visit in 2013. The Italians are welcoming if a little bemused by Welshmen dressed as dragons and it still seems to be the only trip where the hotels and flights aren't yet a total rip off

Having had the good fortune to play and spectate all over the world I feel hard pushed to choose a favourite but our club trip to play Superman RFC of Tokyo in 1988, returning their visit of 1985, must be up there especially after the WRU guy in charge of permissions to tour practically laughed at our outrageous plans for a three week tour to Hong Kong, Japan, Hawaii and California. 45 of us had the time of our lives first of all getting rid of our initial excitement in Hong Kong where we couldn't play out of their season and then on to Japan where we experienced hospitality of the highest level and cemented life long friendships. Training and playing in 95 degrees was tough but what the heck when you get back to a pint and bar nibbles of raw jellyfish. The police in downtown Tokyo couldn't quite get the experience of seeing 20+ Welshmen in Ugatas (Japanese pyjamas) parading round at three in the morning but the Japanese like a laugh as much as the next man. On to Hawaii next where we stayed on Waikiki and played a tough bunch of Tongans aptly named Laie Rhinos. We changed in the open on the side of the pitch and showered in the Pacific. After a hard fought 10-10 draw these not very well off people entertained us with a beer and a pig roasted in the ground all morning before taking us on an evening of South Sea Islands culture. They were worried if their hospitality was up to scratch as we were the first touring side they had ever had, fantastic!!
California next stop where we played Belmont Shore a side that JPR Williams played for in his year out in The US as part of his medical studies. They too played us in 1985 beating us 13-6 back then but we exacted revenge to finish the tour off on a high. Too many stories from the tour to print here but suffice to say everybody had the most memorable trip imaginable.

The best rugby trip ever? Easy. About 6 years ago myself and 11 friends took our sevens team on a 2week, 5 state tour of American colleges. We were a mix of uni mates, team mates from our club and one random American who had never played before. Virginia. Georgia, Florida, Alabama and north Carolina. What a trip. We still talk about it today. The hospitality shown was second to none. I highly recommend anyone looking for an alternative to the usual European adventure heads stateside.

Tours were undoubtedly the best with several club tours around Europe in my mid-teens with the "lads", reaking havoc and having general frivolities.
Then you have the other memories of sitting in a dusty coach/minibus as you all pile in at god knows what time in the morning and trundle on down the road for god knows how long for a match, where win or lose you all perk up, bond laugh and drink on the return leg.
However my fondest recollections have to be of my first real away trip, as a spry 10 year old i was a very lucky sod indeed to get the opportunity to go on a 4 week rugby tour down under with my school. 6 matches 4 weeks great food great laughs great people and a great place, not more you can ask for really.
Well maybe doing it again now we're all old enough to drink and not have thee parents tagging along trying to get holiday out of it might be nice, but all the same you can't beat going away be it for a day, a week, a month or longer if you can wrangle it.

Never really had a proper away day abroad, but many good trips to murrayfield for Scotland and 1872 cup games.
However, things like bus trips are the life blood of club rugby, which has been essentially killed off by Regionalising the league structure. While our Second XV may, bizarrely, still be a national club, our first XV are now in the Championship West, so our furthest games are Dumfries, Dunfermline (yeh, work that one out...), and Ardrossan. No more games to Howe of Fife or Morgan Academy for us. Some of my best experiences with my club have been on bus trips and there is just no scope for any more "epic" trips.
While our seconds remain in the National league, the one decent bus trip with that has gone with Abderdeen Grammar being promoted, now that was a trip to end a season with....

Flying all the way to a decimated Christchurch last year, spending the night in jail (don't worry John, just the Jailhouse Hostel), converting England fans to Scotland fans on the 9hr bus journey to Invercargill, stepping off the bus to a faceful of snow and then a long night of tartan and bagpipe fuelled shenanigans.
Scotland even won a match I think!
You couldn't have been further from Scotland or felt more at home.
RWC 2011 was young, and Scottish hearts were full of hope.
Heineken Cup final win with a uni mate from Bangor was pretty special too. The main road to Dublin was like a big car park of Ulster buses, and there is no way if Edinburgh make the final I'm missing out on getting to London for the match!

I dont use twitter or facebookor anything like that but I would like to sharea couple of memorable trips/tours.As an 18 year old student at St. Lukes College Exeter in 1972 I travelled from Exeter to Cardiff to see Wales v England, Wales of course hammered England, Strangely I can remember very little of the match having met my mates from Milford Haven RFCbefore the match and gone on a real sesh. After the game more Brains beer and an impromptu game of rugby down Caroline Street [chippie/khebab alley] using a mates[Benjys] shoe as a ball. At midnight back to Central station the Milford boys got on their Richards Bros bus to head West, I had to catch a train to Exeter, one of the lads gave me his huge 12 foot Welsh flag as a parting gift. When I got to Bristol Temple Meads at about 2 am I had to change trains,on the platform I noticed a truck with post office trolleys so I planted my Welsh flag on the rear and shoe still in hand proceded to drive down the platform singing hymns and arias. Unfortunately the railway security were not amused[sore losers I expect] and they kicked me out of the station. I dont know whar Temple Meads is like now, but those days the bus station was right next to the train station so on the advice of a local I decided to doss down for the rest of the night and catch a bus to Weston Super Mare at 8 am andget on a train again there. At 8 I was awoken by my new friend who said the bus was just pulling in and fair enough 2 buses pulled up right outside the door,parked uptight to each other. Keen to get a window seat I jostled and pushed to get on the bus with shoe and flag still in hand. I got my window seat halfway down the bus flag bent double I fell asleep again. I woke upin Gloucester and said to the bloke sitting next to me "this is a long way to Weston Super Mare, he just said yes so I went back to sleep, the next time I awoke the bus was stopped and people were getting off, I then discovered we were at a shunting yard just outside Birmingham and I was on a trainspotters outing to Derby ! I explained my situation to one of the organisers and he suggested I go in to New Street station to catch a train to Exeter,warre teg [fair does] they gave me a can of coke and a mars bar and directions. When I got to the station I realised I only had a couple of coppers so I bought a platform ticket and hopped on the midday train to Plymouth. I managed to avoid the ticket collector but when I got off in Exeter I was found out and called to the%

aw man. how i wish i was going to Dublin for Saturday's game! this has been my first full season of properly following Scottish club rugby, having previously been football mad. since Rangers demise, and the lack of European action with the Scottish teams, i decided it would be interesting to follow Glasgow and Edinburgh as they play teams outwith Scotland every week.
it is also coincidental that both clubs are collectively enjoying perhaps their most successful campaigns. Edinburgh's Heineken Cup performances have been delightful and a joy to watch. whilest Glagow's doggedness in the league, highlighted by last weekends narrow, yet vital win, has shown another side on how to play rugby.
picuture this- Edinburgh Heineken Cup champions, and Glasgow Rabodirect champions. strongest European league and cup competitions. unlikely, but you have to be in it to win it! good luck to both and good blog! :)

France was a fun one drinking in the Wallace Bar and Le Moari Cafe, meeting a french team that were twinned with Cumbernauld thus supporting Scotland in the upcoming Italy game. Excellent group of lads that gave us a lift to St Ettiene for the game, took us to a pre-match party and would have kept us out all night had our flight home not been at an ungodly hour the following day!

Best rugby tour i have ever been on was a school one. As part of the Millenium my school went on a combined rugby/hockey tour of Canada for 2.5 weeks in the summer. It was the summer after I'd left school so the sixth year amongst us had a bit more freedom and some crafty homemade IDs made sure we got into the bars. Those 2.5 weeks playing rugby with my friends, seeing Canada and meeting so many good people will stay with me for ever.
In recent years there have been a few more hedonistic tours with my current club during the six nations and without a doubt Cardiff has been my favorite place. Both for the people, the city, their love of everything rugby and the atmosphere in the Millenium stadium. I've been lucky enough to be there the last two times Scotland have played and this year with the roof shut, the male choir and all the pre-match entertainment I was awe-struck. Looking forward to many more.

Best away trip i've been on while playing was clearly the tour to Lyon to take part in an international 10's tournament (which we came 3rd in) because the atmosphere was incredible. It was epitomised by the kicking contest we had with a French team who we had just knocked out of the competition which was played with great spirit. I think for an advertisement of commaraderie and unity in rugby it couldn't have done a better job as teams from Samoa, Romania, France, Italy, Argentina and many other nations came together. It was a tour never to be forgotten. As A fan of Harlequins the best away day has to be Headingley on the last day of the season as the atmosphere was brilliant even though Leeds were getting relagated

My most perfect rugby tour moment was in the Isle of Man. Against all odds, form, probability, etc, we had somehow managed to win a tour match in the morning, against a team that we had seen commiting the heinous crime of jogging along the seafront on the morning before the game.
Now I found myself in post match glow, sitting watching Boroughmuir play Vagabonds with pint in hand.
There was a great view of the sun sparkling on the sea, snow on the hill tops, and a pretty girl sat next to me.
Gould life really get any better?
Oh yes it could. As the knot slipped free on my best mates tour tag, and it slipped unseen into my pocket, I just knew he was in for a beasting in court the next morning.

Hi John,
Its great to have you back blogging again and this one was a real treat. Everyone loves touring and many a school common room has seen expressions such as 'lads on tour' , 'lads when are we going on tour? lol jk we are always on tour...', and the infamous pseudonym WTBFTBOT (With the boys- for the boys- on tour).
I too remember my first every rugby tour, playing for Ashville college aged 11 to North Berwick as it so happens. The rugby was enjoyed by all but i am afraid the food was terrible. This was of course before the professional era in 1990 and Scotland's cuisine did not meet our rigorous dietary requirements at the time. As a student studying in Edinburgh the situation is now however different, as two steak bakes for £2 tends to suffice.
More to the point John I'd like to draw on touring on a wider theme, bringing the West Indies tour of england in 2000 into the mix. Everyone knows that touring is at its greatest with a massive set of blokes (who tend to ridicule the lesser blokes in the tour party but the lesser blokes are still lads if that makes any sense).
June 2000 saw jimmy adams captain the first test and command England throughout at Edgbaston (a really great ground to watch cricket---- anyone reading check for parking before you go etc as a bit of a nuisance). England lost by an innings and 93 runs and i gather shiverine chanderpaul was loving the tour so much at this stage that he proceeded to forfeit his west Indian passport on a dance floor that night in conjuction with singing fedde le grandes infamous 'I love this city' etc. You see these are the daft things that happen when lads are on tour! Ha ha great times john. However,
Lords is a notoriously difficult place to tour to mainly as the members in the long room shout stuff like 'ou est ton technique???' etc to provoke the visiting players- so classic. Needless to say, England dominated in the lords test. And the headingley test. And the oval test. This was fundamentally due to Darren goughs 25 wickets and Michael athertons 311 runs- both of which was scored at exquisite averages and demonstrating the sentiment that although 'what goes on tour stays on tour', in reality 'what stays on the floor goes for four'
Great to have you back John you absolute stalwhart- always loved touring myself and drinking hundreds of pints.

A great rugby country with loads to offer. Cape Town has to be the ultimate destination, but if you're looking for a post match party, 80s Nightclub (about 100yards from Kings Park) is the place. The adjacent rugby pitches get covered by locals cooking on Braais and downing Castle Lager and the atmosphere rocks. Was there in 2004 when The Boks won the Tri Nations - incredible!!!!

The U.S. Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens of increased threats from terrorist groups throughout Turkey and to avoid travel to southeastern Turkey. On August 23, 2016, the Department of State extended voluntary departure of family members assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Ankara and U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul through September 23, 2016. The decision to authorize departure followed an attempted coup and the subsequent declaration of a 90-day state of emergency by the Turkish Government. The decision to approve voluntary departure status was taken, in part, to allow the Department of State to monitor the effects of the July 15 coup attempt and subsequent declaration of a state of emergency on the security situation in the country. The Department continues to monitor the effect of these developments as well as recent terrorist incidents in Ankara, Istanbul, and Gaziantep, recurring threats, a visible increase in police or military activities, and [...]

Kapp ASTD 2014 (ATD) Slides and Notes
Kapp Notes
Had a great time at ASTD 2014 this year (now known as ATD-Association of Talent Development). This provides ownership and a sense of choice. The goal was to model how these three elements can be integrated to provide an engaging and meaningful learning experience. This avoids repetition and provides another method of engagement through novelty of new question types.

Design Day and the ASTD Big Question for July
Kapp Notes
Around the same time, the ASTD Learning Circuits Blog had the July "Big Question" which was "Choosing Tools" which is actually a series of questions: How does the eLearning design process need to change to accommodate such a wide variety of tools? It is not a matter of choosing the right "tool" but choosing the right vehicle within the tool to provide the desired learning effect. I left a comment on Tony Karrer's blog about creating a "Design Day" so that everyone in the blogosphere adds a comment about the importance of instructional design as opposed to focusing on technology.

21 Brilliant Resources for Up-skilling Learning Designers (for the Informal & Social Learning Age)
THE QUOTE: " Instructional designers need to run, not walk, away from classroom-thinking and get to the point of providing short, quick business focused learning points that are easily accessible when and where our learners need them. That said, there are rich skill statements out of places like ASTD and LPI." – Clark Quinn (in our interview with him). " As more learning designers become aware of the latest research, through their Personal Learning Networks, it will eventually take hold. This means leveraging new technologies to deliver non-traditional instruction."- Karl Kapp.

2009 Top Posts and Topics: Kapp Notes
Kapp Notes
The ASTD Big question this month is an annual question: What did you learn about learning in 2009? So, I teamed with alumni Robyn Defelice at Dishing Design and updated the article for ASTD. The Metro DC ASTD chapter asked me to do an interview about audio in e-learning and I linked to the interview and shared some of my notes. This post attempts to provide some tips for avoiding that fate. Tags: ASTD Big Question So one of the tasks I will do to answer this question is to see what posts were the Best of 2009 from several different sources. Random Web 2.0

While I was in Orlando for ASTD's 2011 International Conference and Expo I had the chance to have dinner with a couple of good friends I haven't seen in a few years.
