On Tone Policing: Why It's Bullshit And Why You Need To Stop
One of the things that bothered me about the discussions that happened over the HS debacle in the last few days was the rampant tone policing by some of the white female commenters. It didn't happen a ton, but it happened enough that I was genuinely annoyed by it, especially since tone policing is a tactic that MRAs…

XPLANE is so realistic that you'll believe you were on board a real machine. There are aircraft manufacturers in real life, who use XPLANE for the development of its aircraft and the American aviation authority formed their line pilots on him. So get in and become a part of this incomparable Simulator. The program thereby not only equally suitable for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X users, but even mobile runs on your iPhone.
XPLANE works with the simulation of the physics of flight with no tricks. It not only looks like the real flight of a plane, but it is the real flight. At any moment, vectors of forces on them are simulated for all surfaces of the aircraft. A more accurate simulation is not possible. Each flight manoeuvres, that you are doing in XPLANE, happened just as in real life.
XPLANE is not a stand-alone program, but comes with a number of additional programs to you. This includes for example the aircraft Editor. If you want to model your own aircraft and make even cockpit in 3D, the editor is the right choice for you. From the wings of the lights up to the drive, everything is free:.

• Bird strike in the vicinity of aircraft
• Glider with thermals
• Mobile road transport
• Subsonic and supersonic Dynamics
The story of XPLANE
XPLANE was started as a small project of the private pilot Austin Meyer. Meyer is an aeronautical engineer and has spent many thousands of hours in real aircraft in his life, on the ground and in the air. In 1988, he took the development by XPLANE in attack because he was not satisfied with the flight simulators available at that time on the market. He wondered how he could write a simulator, which seem not so much like a game, but like the right flies. The software has been continually developed and could take up soon with the market leader there. Terrain data in high-definition offered on the installation disc for the first time since 2004.
The new version of the Flight Simulator X-plane brings some improvements. So, the simulations are displayed by rain, reflections on the windshield and hail of scratches on the disc now on your entire screen. There is also a new rudder, which allows even the page of gliding flight. In addition, the function of the autopilot has been added. Finally you can choose between 4 different planes and some airports. The flight sounds contribute to the realistic feeling of flight.
The most important new features in X-Plane 9.60
• Weather and disc simulations on the entire screen
• Rudder for gliding page
• Autopilot
• 4 different planes to choose from
• Several airports to choose from

Wouldn't it be nice if you knew how insurance providers worked the cost of your bike insurance? That way, you might have half a chance of being able to control how much it cost.
Well, while we can't tell you exactly how they calculate it, we do have a pretty good idea what factors go into the calculation and how certain things affect your premium.
Interested in knowing more? Read on.
What affects motorcycle premiums?
Let's start by acknowledging that there are some things that you simply can't do anything about. Others you might have some control over, while others are totally within your power to affect.
All the factors are looked at statistically by the insurance provider to calculate two principle things. How risky you are to insure, and how much a claim could cost in the event that you make one.
Well, short of simply waiting or a time machine, there's not a lot you can do about how old you are – but it does have a big effect on the cost of your insurance. Statistically, insurance companies know that young riders, those between 17-25 years old, are more likely to be involved in an accident. To reflect that, you can expect that if you fall into this age group, your premiums are likely to be higher.
While you can't do much about your age, you can control your riding record. The more years you build up claim free and without any convictions such as speeding tickets – the cheaper your premium will be.
Most insurance providers will accept up to five or six years' worth of no claims to calculate a discount on your premium. That doesn't mean you should just make a claim after five years, it just means that the level of discount will tend to be capped to the same point no matter how many more years NCD you accrue.
Where you live affects the way your premium is calculated in two ways. Firstly, whether the area you live in has a high incidence of theft. Not surprisingly, if crime is more likely, your premiums are likely to be higher.
Secondly, if you live in a big urban area, you're unfortunately at greater risk of being involved in an accident than if you live in a quiet, less busy area. Another one you're unlikely to be able to change but it can have a big effect on the price of your premium.
Statistically, the more miles you ride, the more likely you are to be involved in an accident. Sounds a bit grim doesn't it, but it's just a mathematical fact. That means insurance providers are likely to charge you more the more miles you do each year. If you only use your bike for part of the year or on relatively short journeys, you might be able to restrict your mileage which may reduce your premium.
If you commute to work on your bike rather than using it for pleasure only, you could expect to pay more. That's because you'll be riding during rush hour – the busiest time on the roads when an accident is more likely to occur. But don't consider fibbing about what you'll be using your bike for, as if found out, you could invalidate your policy.
If you're riding a more expensive bike, the costs of claims for damage and repairs are likely to be higher. This means your premiums are likely to be higher too. For classic bikes, spare parts may be at a premium and expensive to obtain. This can lead to higher repair costs and again this is factored into your premium calculation.
Don't think though, just because your beaten up 50cc machine isn't worth much it will be cheap to insure. Other factors involving how often such bikes are involved in claims is also taken into account.
The make and model of bike you ride has an impact on premiums. Generally speaking, more powerful superbikes are going to cost you more to insure than street bikes with more modest engine capacity and performance.
It isn't binary though, so don't assume more powerful equals more cost. Insurance providers take all factors about you and how you use the bike into account when calculating the premium. It's worth comparing quotes on our site to find out different insurance costs before purchasing a bike though if lowering your insurance premium is important to you.
Typically, insurance providers take a dim view on modifications. Modified bikes tend to cost more to insure. Don't risk not telling them about any mods though, as you're likely to invalidate your insurance and could potentially land in hot water if you do so.
If your bike is less likely to be stolen, it stands to reason that it could reduce your insurance premium. Keeping your bike in a locked garage or on a drive rather than on the street could make a difference. Other security features such as locks, anchors and immobilisers all help and may also be taken into account by the insurance provider – you just might need to speak to them directly.
There are three kinds of bike cover:
You might simply assume that comprehensive policies are more expensive than third party cover. That would seem sensible as they cover more things. However, it isn't always the case, so it's a good idea to check the price of all cover when looking for a new insurance policy to make sure you get the right cover for you at the right price.
The excess is the amount of money that you pay towards a claim before your insurance provider will make a contribution. There are usually two types, compulsory – that you have no choice about, and voluntary that you can vary.
The higher the voluntary excess you agree to, the less your insurance tends to cost. But just make sure you can afford the full cost of the excess (compulsory + voluntary) in the event that you do need to make a claim.
Insurance companies use factors in different ways. Some factors are also more important to some insurance providers than others. That's why they can come up with quite different prices when they quote you for your bike insurance.

Unlike when Jordan Riley was born, and I was so quick to sit and write and write… I'm finding it much harder to do so with Mya Sage. It's been fine for me to recall bits and pieces here and there, I think because in little doses, I can handle it easier. But, to write her whole story, from my perspective – knowing to do it, I will likely need to sit and write, start to finish.. it's felt overwhelmingly sad, achey… a place I just don't want to go again. *takes deep breath*
Monday, October 17 @ 10 a.m. (I'm not going for exact times, in general)
I don't usually sleep well and Sunday night was no exception. I was up late, unable to fall asleep and dosed fitfully until I saw dawn creeping in the windows. So, when my phone rang around 10, I almost didn't answer it. It was one of those feelings that I should, so I did.
I heard Cassie sobbing on the other end of the line. I asked her "what?", but in hindsight, it was a question I knew, just didn't understand. Much like a child will say "what?" to something when it's not the words they didn't understand, but the meaning. She didn't answer me, it sounded like someone was in the room with her and she was talking to them – though I wasn't sure what was going on, it sounded like she was talking to a nurse. And I tried to fit things into place, what she said to understand – and I thought, 'something is wrong with her birthing at the birth center'.. which, in and of itself didn't make sense.. nothing really fit.
Both boys heard me ask Cas "what" and both went on alert, stopping what they were doing to listen to and watch me. So I'm sure I knew what Cas said to me, my tone of voice had to have alerted the boys that something was wrong, really wrong.
When she came back to the phone, and told me "They can't find the heartbeat…" What broke my heart right then was her cry when she told me she couldn't take it, couldn't handle this.. I think I opened a door in my mind and hid part of myself in there. I don't know how I got through the next few days if I hadn't. She told me they were sending her downstairs for an ultrasound – I told her we were on our way. Both boys and I quickly threw on clothes and were out the door.
On my way to the hospital, I called Bob, Emily and Barbara. I cried and cried.. Got to the hospital, wiped my tears and hurried in to find them. After some debate about where she was.. we were told to go up a few floors to the perinatal imaging office.
I walked in the door, and I knew right then, there was no hope left that here had been a mistake. I could see it on every woman's face in that office, they knew the anguish my family was facing. And part of me wanted to tell them No. Tell them I'm not going in their office, I'm not going to follow them. I don't want to hear it. And all the while I followed them back to the room, with each boy trailing in line behind me, I knew what was happening, and that as much as I wanted to turn and go the other direction, I couldn't.

Toure targets the top
Manchester City ace Yaya Toure insists Roberto Mancini's squad are targeting the Premier League title.
Last Updated: 15/07/11 4:35pm
Manchester City ace Yaya Toure insists Roberto Mancini's squad are targeting the Premier League title this season.
The Eastlands club have one of the most expensive squads in England's top-flight, but their challenge fell short last term.
City have again strengthened during the summer and Toure believes Mancini's troops have their tails up ahead of the new campaign.
The ambitious club also have UEFA Champions League football on the menu and Toure knows it will be a difficult task for his colleagues.
"The new season will be very, very hard and we need to improve, because this season the club will play in the Champions League," he told the club's official website.
"And we expect to stay in the top four of the Premier League and we expect to win the Premier League because now we are coming with more confidence, the players know each other better.
"I think this year will be fantastic for us."
Tough moments
Toure enjoyed an impressive debut season in the Premier League after joining City from Barcelona and capped it off by scoring the winning goals in the FA Cup semi-final and final.
However, there were also tough moments, not least when brother and team-mate Kolo was suspended for six months after failing a drugs test.
The defender will return to the club in September, and Yaya cannot wait to see his brother back in action.
"Kolo's well," said 28-year-old Toure. "He's in New York with the family. We hope September will come quickly and we hope to help the club win something again next year.
"Now I think he's more happy than anybody because he will come quickly back to the team, and for the team we need him because we know the Premier League is very hard and we need to have two or three players per position."

4 - 3 Final
Dwyer, Hurricanes down LeafsDec 29, 2010 - 4:23 AM
Eric Staal scored twice and Jeff Skinner also tallied for the Hurricanes, who snapped a three-game slide and have won eight of the last 10 games against Toronto. Cam Ward turned aside 34-of-37 shots to pick up the victory.
"It's a good win. We needed to have it," Staal said. "We had a good start, second period was pretty bad. We hung in there. Cam made some good saves and we got the win."
Phil Kessel notched a pair of goals, while Mikhail Grabovski added a marker for Toronto, which has dropped four of five. Jonas Gustavsson made 23 saves in defeat.
Deadlocked at 3-3, the Hurricanes went ahead for good with 5:11 remaining in regulation. Zach Boychuk picked up the puck in the left circle and sent it back to the left point to Gleason, who fired a shot toward the net. Dwyer setting a screen in front, got a piece of the puck to deflect it past Ward for a 4-3 game.
Boychuck was whistled for a hooking minor with 3:45 to play, but Toronto came up empty on the power play. The Leafs got yet another man advantage with 32 seconds to go when Staal took a cross-checking minor. However, despite good pressure around the Hurricanes net, Toronto was unable to get the equalizer.
Carolina opened the scoring 7:34 into the contest when Skinner won the battle for a loose puck in front and fired it between Gustavsson's legs from the low slot.
Skating with a 5-on-3 advantage, Kessel's one-timer from the right circle evened things at 11:48.
However, Staal briefly put the Hurricanes ahead 2-1 on a breakaway tally at 14:08, but Kessel's backhander from in close handcuffed Ward to tie the contest 82 seconds later.
Carolina got a power-play opportunity late in the first and capitalized when Sergei Samsonov spotted Staal for a redirection on the doorstep with 10 seconds remaining and a 3-2 game after 20 minutes.
Grabovski pulled Toronto even again with a power-play tally 8:17 into the middle stanza after a Carolina defender deflected a shot right onto his stick and he potted it home from the left side of the net. It stayed tied after two periods.
Game Notes
Carolina forward Jussi Jokinen left after the first period with a lower-body injury and did not return...Toronto went 2-for-8 on the power play, while the Hurricanes finished 1-for-3 with the man advantage.

Brilliant sound: old Markneukirchen violin after Amati
This old quality violin was built by an unknown violin maker in Markneukirchen (Saxony) in approx. 1920. It features medium high archings and was designed after classical patterns of Amati - a convincing instrument due to its good standards of craftsmanship, excellent tonewoods and indeed very useful sound qualities. The regular medium grained spruce top and the deep flames of the one-piece maple back introduce premium woods that were used in the Vogtland region in Saxony, with a beautiful grain that is decorated by the transparent light brown varnish. The tastefully crafted edges and the archings are the clear works of an experienced workshop. Our luthiers completely worked over this instrument that is undamaged and in very good condition. We made it ready to play, so its clear, brilliant sound can express its open voice that is rich in overtones.

Maker: Unknown
Length of back: 35.9 cm
Year: approx. 1920

Delicious crostinis are battered in whipped egg, then placed on the grill, with Brie spread like butter between two pieces. After being grilled, this $10 masterpiece is then smothered in maple syrup and sprinkled with fresh-cut strawberries to make a breakfast so delectable we're drooling just thinking about it.
Bagels don't need to leave you in a carb coma, and Krazy Eddy realizes this. His are thinner than the average bagel and toasted to leave the outside crispy and the innards soft. The ingredients pop: The jalapeño bagel is actually spicy, the sesame-seed bagel actually flavorful. And most topping combos—try the heaping, green mountain that is the avocado special—come with the surprising, refreshing flavor of sliced tomatoes dabbed with lemon juice.
By the time you read this, the 85°C Bakery Café bakery in Irvine will have been open almost a year. But the lines? They'll look exactly like they have since Day One. Newcomers will wonder, "What is it with these people? Have they never seen a bakery before?" Yes, but not like this. Crusts crackle at their most optimal; rolls are still wet from a finishing swipe of melted butter. All are minutes, if not seconds, from the oven. In this carb-crazy frenzy for freshness, supplies are continually replenished since nothing stays unbought longer than a few minutes. And the longer the line, the fresher everything is. The cycle is self-feeding, and you—yeah, you, stuck in the line—you're part of it.
Located just across the street from Medieval Times, this mammoth amphitheater-style restaurant features a life-size pirate ship with full rigging surrounded by a moat of water. The food is on the bland side—would you like chicken with beef or chicken with shrimp? Both go great with Bud Light—but if you are under eight years of age, have a child who is, or if you happen to be very drunk, you will get a big kick out of the entertainment. Pirate duels, cannon shots and a dancing gypsy girl all compete for your attention. Diners, all of whom sit in color-coded sections corresponding to one of the pirates, are encouraged to participate in the show by cheering their pirate on and booing the other pirates as they fight one another on a trampoline or chase one another off the rigging. Keep in mind, however, that if you sit in the front row, you are likely to get wet, inhale a bit too much dry-ice vapor, or both.
You think you've got this whole boba thing figured out. It's not that mysterious, really. Big ol' cup of flavored iced tea, big ol' balls of tapioca, all sucked through a big ol' straw. But . . . hold on a sec—are the tapioca balls at Tastea actually green? Don't balk at the offbeat color; they're the perfect consistency: soft, chewy and fun. As for drink options, there are the usual milk-tea affairs and green-apple slushy, but there are also colorful combinations you will not find in many boba places, such as pineapple-coconut and mango-strawberry. And with drink names such as "Like Wow!" (strawberry and lychee) and "Ohh La La" (coconut, pineapple and strawberry), ordering at Tastea becomes a test of dignity. None more so than when ordering a "Bootea Shaker." But you'll enjoy that nice, thick, tea concoction filled with real fruit (mango, peach and pineapple)—priced at only $3.50—so much you can ignore its moniker.
There's always a catch, right? Overpriced, a lot of OJ, a time limit, really cheap champagne—something. The bottomless mimosa is such a rarity these days that to see it is on a menu is to not actually believe it's real. But at 212 Bistro, where an affordable Sunday brunch is served up gourmet, the mimosas that complement their tasty fusions are blindingly bottomless. Served in huge wine glasses with fresh orange juice, the $12 deal is worth every penny. Best of all, you can enjoy all of it in the café's huge, hidden back patio, which is where most of the lushes tend to boisterously guffaw their way through their brunches.

EU Budget Summit Heading toward Failure
from Der Spiegel:
Despite hours of talks in Brussels on Thursday night, European Union leaders made little progress toward agreement on the bloc's budget for the years 2014 to 2020. Britain and other countries have remained steadfast in their demands for cuts. A second summit looks to be the only likely outcome.
European Parliament President Martin Schulz began losing his temper as time wore on. It is "extremely irresponsible," he told the 27 European Union heads of state and government gathered in Brussels, when EU member states deny the bloc necessary funding. The 1.091 trillion budget proposed by the European Commission, he said, is commensurate because it will also stimulate growth.
Schulz spoke just before midnight as the European Union budget summit, aimed at agreeing on bloc funding for the seven-year period between 2014 and 2020, finally got underway after a three-hour delay. His plea had little effect, though. British Prime Minister David Cameron, his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte and Swedish Premier Fredrik Reinfeldt continued to demand billions in cuts. German Chancellor Angela Merkel likewise found the proposed budget to be too large.
Every seven years, European Union leaders must come together to agree on a new spending plan, and this year's Commission proposal has been particularly controversial. At a time when many EU countries have tightened their belts significantly, an increase to the EU budget, slight though it may be, has not proven popular among net contributors. They would like to see the budget cut to between 890 billion (the British target) and 960 billion (as Germany has proposed). But the 17 net recipient countries support the higher Commission proposal. ..................(more)

1. NYT: Hopes Fade for Quick Deal on European Union Budget
Leaders resumed haggling over a trillion-euro budget for the European Union in a second day of talks on Friday but played down expectations of a deal before the weekend amid bitter divisions over where cuts should fall.
The negotiating marathon over the budget, known as the Multiannual Financial Framework, is held every seven years and, focused on hard cash, tends to push national interests to the fore and swamp feel-good talk of European harmony, a cause for which the Norwegian Nobel Committee last month named the European Union as the recipient of the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize.
The budget, which amounts to about 130 billion euros per year, goes mostly to subsidize farmers and support regional projects in poorer member states, policies that were originally intended to help bind Europe together and mute the economic discord that in the past fueled antagonisms that led to bloody wars.
Much of the attention at the special budget summit meeting has focused on demands for deep cuts by Mr. Cameron. ... and that is a position that has put it at odds with Paris... Failure to achieve these would likely intensify growing hostility toward the Union in Britain and could even help prod the country in the direction of one day pulling out of the group altogether.
Sounds like conservative in the UK and Germany are pushing for more austerity while the new socialist government in France is fighting against this. Hopefully, conservative efforts to further cut support for EU countries will not continue to be successful. These "policies that were originally intended to help bind Europe together and mute the economic discord that in the past fueled antagonisms that led to bloody wars." Still an admirable goal.

Because Language is a new podcast with linguist Daniel Midgley, starting in 2016.
Daniel is a presenter on Talk the Talk, a popular radio show and podcast on community radio station RTRFM 92.1, Perth.
Because Language is different from its predecessor in that, while Talk the Talk keeps listeners informed on current events and breaking news in linguistics, Because Language is squarely focused on interviews. Listeners will get a chance to hear longer discussions with people who are influential in the linguistic community — researchers on the cutting edge, writers who are working to explain linguistics to a popular audience, and movers and shakers in the world of words.
Some episodes of Because Language will be free, while additional episodes will be available for purchase. Subscribers can download entire seasons.

|Command Line Design Doc Testing
|Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:48:26 GMT
Paul Davis suggested I ping the dev list to let you know of a process/framework I've cobbled together for unit testing design documents, and just to aid in flat out debugging when using the CouchApp python script.. Essentially I've pulled together some pieces of CouchDB's main.js, jsUnity (http://jsunity.com), some Mock Objects and convenience functionality that I've rolled myself, Spidermonkey, and an extra command for CouchApp. My motivation? Sick of the roundtripping from editor, to couch, to curl, to indexing, to log files, and back with no real way to use a debugger with breakpoints. I considered using Node.js however I needed E4X support - so that meant Spidermonkey or Rhino. (BTW if anyone knows of a schema aware XML parser that works in Spidermonkey that's better than E4X, I'm all ears). Since Spidermonkey is already used by CouchDB - seemed like the logical choice, but I'm sure this could probably work with Rhino too. I also wanted to be able to eventually get this working within our CI environment which uses Jenkins - so command line use was pretty important. So our general environment - we use CouchApp to deploy design docs (and using !code and !json macros), as well as have a python business layer. I leveraged the codebase already there for converting a file system into a design doc then load it into spidermonkey and run a testsuite against it. This ended up making it very easy to add breakpoints and such in your scripts as well as quickly regression test a change you might make in some shared library. It's still pretty raw - but it currently works for our needs; https://github.com/jimklo/LearningRegistry/blob/data-services-proto/data_services/lib/test-common.js is the common test code https://github.com/jimklo/LearningRegistry/blob/data-services-proto/data_services/lib/jsunity-0.6.js is just the current version of jsUnity https://github.com/jimklo/LearningRegistry/blob/data-services-proto/data_services/standards-alignment-lr-paradata/tests/test-alignment.js are some test cases using this framework https://github.com/jimklo/LearningRegistry/blob/data-services-proto/data_services/standards-alignment-dct-conformsTo/tests/test-alignment.js another set of test cases, that use maps containing E4X. And then for running the tests with CouchApp: https://github.com/jimklo/LearningRegistry/blob/data-services-proto/LR/lr/couchapp/exec_tests.py is the extension command to configure it to work you'll need to add the following to your .couchapprc https://github.com/jimklo/LearningRegistry/blob/data-services-proto/data_services/standards-alignment-lr-paradata/.couchapprc At some point, I'll probably pull all the pieces out into their own project to make it easier for others to incorporate. I still need a better mock interface for the request object passed into list/show/filters. That probably won't happen until I get a better idea of what I need to use from that perspective. Any questions, comments, criticism please feel free to shoot them my way... Thanks, - Jim Jim Klo Senior Software Engineer Center for Software Engineering SRI International

European Cycling Cup
The racing series "German Cycling Cup 2017" (GCC) will be carried out by the Association of German Cycling Association (VDR), all results of the races mentioned on the GCC operated by the GCC (www.cycling-cup.de) Of the series will be honored as the winner of the "GCC 2017" after the last round in Münster in the categories men / women, master 1, master 2, master 3 and master 4 (male and female). In addition to the provisions of the BDR, these special provisions for the "GCC 2017" and the respective invitation to tender issued by the organizer are decisive for the participation and execution of this series.
At the "GCC 2017", men, women and young people (with the consent of the educationally entitled, minimum age determine the organizers depending on the route requirements) can participate independently of a club membership (Regardless of the age group), as well as members of a sports group registered with the UCI. For the participation of licensed athletes of other associations, the GCC reserves the right to carry out a single case test.
License holders who enter the B-Class from the C-Class in the course of the year are no longer allowed to start in the GCC from this point, but are still guided in the overall evaluation with the points achieved up to that point. After the rise illegally obtained points are recognized, in addition, the participant can be removed in case of repeated violations from the overall evaluation.
The registration for a race to the "GCC 2017" takes place according to the central guidelines of the series and according to the regulations of the respective organizer. Each competitor recognizes the regulations and the special provisions of the "GCC 2017". Registrations are made via the Internet pages (online) or via the forms of the individual organizers.
Starting blocks
The first 100 male and the first 50 female riders of the "German Cycling Cup 2016" overall rating as well as the first 100 male and the first 50 female riders of the current evaluation of the "GCC 2017" for the race of the respective race have the right from the first starting block of the Respective race. These (theoretically) 300 persons are to be placed in the first starting block of the race for which they have registered after their registration with the declaration of the respective event.
Should not all of the previous year's places or the current standings contest the respective race, there is still no claim to move up (places 101 ff or 51 ff). In addition, the organizer has the possibility, depending on the nature of the starting area, to place further participants in the first starting block. The basis for this was the placement in the respective race in the previous year / in the past. The quotas for men and women are left to the respective organizer. If the conditions in the starting area require, the organizer can redistribute the first starting block again. The organization of the event organizer has to be fair, clear and orientated to sporting criteria.
In the case of stage races (multi-day events with overall evaluation) and individual time races, the special regulations of the organizer apply with respect to the starting set-up. In the "GCC 2017", the result and the overall evaluation after the race in Dresden is decisive for the starting block division during the last race due to the close proximity of the penultimate race.
The first 50 arriving male participants / 15 arriving female participants will be evaluated according to the goal, the subsequent arriving participants will be evaluated according to their net running time according to transponder for the result of the respective race (daily result). The age group classification is based on net time. However, for the first 50 men / 15 women of the day total, they are also placed in the AK classification according to the finish line. This means that the first 50 men / 15 women after the finish line are placed in the AK-ranking, regardless of the net time, in front of the riders, who are in the overall score worse than from place 50/15.
The time is measured by transponder technology.
Publication of results
The organizer is responsible for the preparation of the day's results. It shall transmit the provisional daily result for publication to the service provider commissioned by the GCC on the evening of the event. Despite all due diligence, however, mistakes are to be expected.
Each participant is therefore also asked to check his result immediately. Appeals against the day's results must be submitted in writing to the organizer within 8 days after the race. No objections will be accepted after this date. The organizer shall forward the final day's results (after clarification of the objections made) to the GCC's authorized service provider no later than 14 days after the event.
If a participant contests several races with a score for the "GCC 2017", only the points reached on the longer distance will be taken over into the overall evaluation.The result or possibly the participation points of the remaining race will be evaluated for no evaluation (Team- Or age rating). Results obtained under different user names / nicknames in the GCC can only be combined within a period of 10 days after the event.
Rating of the German Cycling-Cup 2017
- (In all categories listed under item "Age classes")
- Daily Championship
Overall evaluations of the GCC 2017 are carried out in the areas of
- Total number of men
- Women
- Overall rating Male Master 1, 2, 3 and 4
- Total rating female Master 1, 2, 3 and 4
- Team Overall Rating
Since there are broad sporting events, there are as before:
- Draw Men's Cycling-Cup 2017 "Being there is everything"
- Draw Women's Cycling Cup 2017 "Being there is everything"
Achievement of the total number of evaluations of the GCC 2017
The total scores of the series are created according to the reached ranking points. For the rankings shown in the results of the day of the organizer ranking points are given according to the table below.
The points are awarded according to the following point system: The ranked men and women of each day will each receive from 1 to 200 points (see table below). In addition, race kilometers are added as points. The organizer's invitation to tender is decisive for the number of race kilometers to be reached.
The number of km points to be reached is determined by the respective organizer in relation to the route length and reported to the GCC. Changes may be made up to 14 days before the race.
Classification system of the GCC 2017
Placement Points
1st place -> 250 + km
2nd place -> 240 + km
3rd place -> 230 + km
4th place -> 215 + km
5th place -> 214 + km
6th place -> 213 + km
7th place -> 212 + km
8. Place -> 211 + km
9. Place -> 210 + km
10th place -> 209 + km
11. Place -> 208 + km
12. Place -> 207 + km
13. Place -> 206 + km
14th place -> 205 + km
15th place -> 204 + km
200th place -> 19 + km
From the 201st place and onward, all runners-up receive 15 points each for the special evaluation "Being is everything" (without kilometer points):
201. Place -> 15 points
202th place -> 15 points
Examples of point allocation
8th place in the class Women over 40 km (8th place = 211 points + 40 km = 251 points for the total classification)
199th place in the class Men over 140 km (199th place = 20 points + 140km = 160 points for the total classification)
15th place for the class men over 60 km (15th place = 204 points + 60 km = 264 points for the total classification)
The total scores are based on the total score of all daytime scores, which are included in the score according to the string results. No contingency points are given for any string results.
Age class overall rating
In addition to the total score (men and women), ratings are given in the following age classes.
Men / Women – m / w – 1988-1998
Master 1 – m / w – 1978-1987
Master 2 – m / w – 1968-1977
Master 3 – m / w – 1958-1967
Master 4 – m / w – 1957 and older
In doing so, the individual day-old-age class evaluations are converted into their own overall evaluation using the above-mentioned point table (analogous to the overall individual evaluations). Again, the best 7
Results of the 9 events in the total result.
String results
For the above-mentioned overall evaluations of the "GCC 2017" not all, but only the best 7 evaluations of a participant from all 9 are counted
Race of the series 2017. The number of strings is thus
If an event due to "force majeure" has to be canceled during the course of the season, it will be counted as a result of the contest, provided that 50 per cent of the season races have not yet taken place. If a second event is canceled due to "force majeure" or an event is canceled in the second half of the season, the number of races decreases. This means that the corresponding race is not considered as a string result. If GCC races are canceled at any time, for reasons other than "force majeure", the number of GCC races will also be reduced, and the canceled race will not be considered as a strike result.
No contest points are given for the strings.
Team rating
In the course of the "GCC 2017" an official team evaluation is carried out, whereby an unlimited number of riders can be registered for the team evaluation.The ratio of gender and age of the team members is irrelevant (For this reason, the team score from the gender ranking ranking (unisex ranking) Of all participants).
The team rating of the race is calculated by adding the number of team members. This is the unisex rating of the race. In each case, 4 consecutive drivers of a team (1st – 4th driver team XX = team 1, 5th – 8th driver team XX = team 2, etc.) are evaluated as a team.
The team with the least number of seats wins the daily team score. If there is a tie between one or more teams, the ranking of the best riders of the respective teams in the day ranking is decided by these teams. The points awarded for the GCC team valuation are analogous to the rating system for individual drivers (see above). The best team will get 250 points plus kilometer points etc. In the team evaluation there are no strings.
Team nomination
Each team named in the GCC will be listed in the above-mentioned spelling. The team name has to be continued in exactly the same way for each additional event. If certain drivers are to be considered as a team, the team name must be clearly different from other teams. The name of the sponsor or team name with the order number is not sufficient.
It is also possible to report several teams, taking into account the aforementioned conditions. The required name difference must also be taken into account when appointing teams at different lengths of the course as part of an event.
In the occupation of a team you are completely free for every race. This concerns sex, age class but also the occupation of race to race. In principle analogous to the soccer league. The points get the team, not the players. It is not possible to transfer points. The points earned by a team under the appropriate name remain assigned to this team until the end of the year.
The sporting authority over the day's results is the responsibility of the organizer (or a representative appointed by the organizer, sports manager, etc.) of the respective race. Infringements to the Regulations or the Fair Play shall be punished in accordance with the regulations of the relevant event as well as the "GCC 2017" list of penalties and, if necessary, taken into account in the daily result The rules of the BDR apply. Every participant recognizes with the registration the sports regulations and the conditions of competition of the BDR.
Victory after each race to the "GCC 2017" will take place according to the regulations of the respective organizer, and the leader of the series will be handed over to the overall leader (men and women) at the next event Leading team will also be honored after each race of the "GCC 2017".
Total performance GCC 2017, prices
After the last race in 2017, a series of victories will be held for the series. Information will be provided in good time.
Special prices "
All participants who have played at least three races of the "GCC 2017" will be raffled for men and women according to the motto "Being there is everything". The winners and prizes will be announced before the last race and the winners will be invited to the overall victory.
Disclaimer of liability
Participation in "GCC 2017" races is at your own risk! The liability of the organizer is limited to intent and gross negligence, also against third parties.The liability of the organizer for damages other than those from the injury of life, body or health is Except in the case of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of the organizer, his legal representative or his vicarious agents, the organizer shall not be liable for the loss of equipment and clothing of the participant.
Upon receipt of the starting number, each participant declares bindingly that there is no health concern against his participation in the event.
It is imperative to follow the instructions of the folders.
Declaration of consent
The participant agrees that the data mentioned in his application may be stored automatically and published in the participant and results list. Photographs, film recordings, videos, interviews on the radio, television, advertising and books made in connection with the participation in the race may be used by the organizer and GCC GmbH without compensation claims and without temporal and spatial limitation. When submitting a mobile phone number, the organizer / GCC is allowed to send an SMS free of charge to the participant with his / her respective result. If the participant specifies a mobile number and does not want an SMS, he / she will communicate this to the organizer / GCC.
Bike and accessories
The material provisions of the BDR apply. Each participant is responsible for the traffic safety of his bicycle. In particular, the functional reliability of the brakes and other safety-related components is important
To pay attention. Lighting is not required. Athletes whose bikes are clearly not fit for transport can be taken out of the competition at any time. There are no translation restrictions. The following material and / or types of bicycles are expressly not permitted in races with mass start:
- Disc wheels front and / or rear
- Triathlon, horns and deltal joints
- Handlebars of all kinds (except MTB bar-ends)
- Bicycle trailers of all kinds
- Packing bags and other loadings

- Tandems (except for special events)
- Handbikes (except for special events)
Helmet obligation exists for all. The helmet must contain the seal of a recognized test institute (eg DIN standard 33954, SNEL standard, ANSI standard or similar). Driving without a helmet leads to the exclusion.
Code of Honor and corresponding sanctions
In order to demand, ensure, or, if necessary, create a corresponding condition, we must adhere to a code of ethics, which should be an "act of reverence".
Unfortunately, we are increasingly finding violations of the sporting fairness mentioned in the preamble, which makes it necessary to draw up a code of ethics that can be used in cases of misconduct.

The race management is also entitled to impose penalties for offenses which are not part of this catalog. The punishment is then determined by the race management.

Like all MLB clubs, St. Louis has until Tuesday, November 20 to settle its roster in preparation for the Rule 5 Draft. The annual player disbursement process will be held on December 6 in Nashville in conjunction with Baseball's Winter Meetings.
With the Redbirds, Dickson logged a 3.59 ERA, but only a 24-28 record due to spotty run support. The Alabama native struck out 365 and walked 112 in 465 2/3 Pacific Coast League innings. He led the club in innings pitched in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Dickson was named The Cardinal Nation Memphis Starting Pitcher of the Year all three seasons and was our system-wide Pitcher of the Year in 2010. He was an all-star three times – in the Midwest League in 2007 and in the PCL in both 2010 and 2012.
Despite his consistent success in Triple-A, Dickson could not make the final step for good. He received three brief trials with St. Louis, in July and September 2011 and this August, but was not recalled for the final month push this season. Dickson finishes his Cardinals time having appeared in eight MLB games, including one start. Over 14 2/3 innings, his ERA was 4.91.
Likely, the Cardinals plan to use Dickson's 40-man roster spot on a younger, rising prospect such as Eric Fornataro or Kevin Siegrist.
Orix, his new home, may best be known as Ichiro Suzuki's club before he came to play in the USA. His one-time teammate So Taguchi returned to the team following his US career, which included seven years with the Cardinals (2002-07). Taguchi retired from the Buffaloes this July.
Dickson is preparing to take a path blazed by his former Memphis teammate Evan MacLane. The latter has pitched for the Buffaloes in each of the last two seasons following his time in Memphis' rotation and a brief cup of coffee with St. Louis in 2010.
Update: This move was made official on November 19.

OK - now you've carried out your preliminary checks here are a few things to consider whilst driving in wintery conditions:
Winter driving can be quite challenging - which is why we recommend taking out car hire excess insurance to ensure you have adequate cover should you have an accident whilst driving.

To view VR videos, just enable the 'VR mode' in a VR video on your YouTube app and place your smartphone in Alphabet's hand-held Cardboard device. As of now, there are only a dozen VR videos on YouTube, but you can also view a large number of videos with limited VR experience on Cardboard as well. According to YouTube, these videos will look like one on an IMAX theatre screen.
YouTube to allow 360-degree videos on the site soon
However, Cardboard can play only those VR videos which were made compatible with the Cardboard viewer before being uploaded to YouTube.
Back in January, a Google spokesperson suggested that YouTube will start allowing users to upload videos taken from special 360° cameras that may make use of virtual reality headsets. Since viewing 360° videos is impossible on flat screens, those wishing to view it need to own VR headsets like Oculus or Cardboard.
The move to make Android and iOS apps VR-capable seems to be part of YouTube's long term approach of targeting the lucrative mobile business.
YouTube goes full throttle on mobile and VR business
"For us, most of our focus is on mobile: product development for mobile, content development for mobile, making sure mobile video works on carrier networks all around the world. It's all mobile, mobile, mobile," said Robert Kyncl, YouTube's head of content and business operations in June.
"We may see traction coming out of India and not Europe, or out of Latin America and not the US… The short answer [to whether VR will be big] is I don't know. We don't know. But we know it's going to be important in some fashion," he added.
YouTube's paid subscription service: What's in it for you
YouTube has also started its new paid subscription service which costs just £6.50 a month, offering you access to Google Play service, YouTube gaming as well as the ability to download and watch online content. However, the service is yet to roll out in the UK.

The Life I Lived
Looking back on his professional life on the day of his retirement, small-business owner Bill Cacchiotti (Richard Bennett) can't help but notice that his son Eddie (David L. Buckler) is following in his footsteps -- and not necessarily in a good way. Just like his father, Eddie is tangled in a dangerous web of illegal activity, including racketeering and murder. But his desire to take the family business in a new direction could be his undoing.

I love creating altered art shrines as a piece of jewelry to display your faith and devotion and be able to wear and carry with you as you wear it.
Recently I created this piece honoring Our Beloved Sacred Heart of Jesus using a vintage hand painted pocket statue inside a heart locket and embellished with beautiful rhinestones.
I used one of God's beautiful creations, which are the gemstones ( showing the beauty in all of God's creation and how we can see God in everything)

I also created these other pieces of altered art shrines honoring Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Miraculous Medal - on the Our Lady of Lourdes locket shrine I used stunning vintage celestial aqua color crystals embellishment (signed Wiesner); handmade and hand painted 1 1/4" plaster (sealed) pocket statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, one Hail Mary and one Our Father beads from vintage broken Rosary; beautiful image of Sacred Heart surrounded by angels transfered unto fabric giving it a look and feel of canvas
On the pocket watch shrine honoring Our Lady of Miraculous Medal, I used a pocket watch, which I love because of the glass and it displays beautifully everything inside, specially the pocket staute. On this necklace I also used a vintage pocket statue and vintage lace

Daily Gold and Silver Report - But Wait! There's (Always) More!
DAILY KITCOMMENTARY FOR: Feb. 11, 2011
Hosni Mubarak's farewell speech late yesterday turned out to be a case of But, Wait, There's More! that would give Ron Popeil a serious case of TV pitchman envy. The surprise announcement that the Egyptian leader intends to stay in place until a formal power transfer would take place later this year caught most everyone (especially including the White House) by surprise.
Previously, most global leaders were in accord that the transition of power in Cairo ought to begin on the same timetable as that demanded by the tens of thousands of people shouting and waving shoes in Tahrir Square, i.e.: NOW. However, now appears to be possibly later as the Egyptian military is apparently siding with Mr. Mubarak. How much later depends on the degree of patience and restraint that will be exhibited by the masses. As of the moment, the prospects and emergent signs of a civil war, unfortunately, hang heavy in the smoky air above Cairo.
World markets fluctuated while showing the same signs of indecision about how to react to the new situation as those exhibited by everyone from Mr. Obama to other heads of nations. Equities, gold, and oil all oscillated back and forth between negative and positive price-change territories as investors struggled to make sense of the mess that hardly anyone is able to make sense of, within, or outside of Egypt. More of the same appears to be on tap for today as massive demonstrations are about to unfold in Cairo and as markets get ready to wrap it up for the week. One would presume that -just as was the case two Fridays ago, (at least gold) market speculators might want to go home on the safe side. But, even that remains to be seen, as of this uncertain hour -things could change at, literally, any moment.
New York spot metals prices opened a tad on the mixed side. Gold showed a $1 gain to open the final session of the week at $1,364.50 per ounce. After making a modest attempt at an advance to near the $1,370.00 level, bullion turned back into negative price territory within the first hour of trading. Gold ETF balances have fallen to an eight-month low on the back of clear-cut amelioration in the US jobs sector and the continuing Chinese central bank's anti-inflation campaign. The yellow metal was still being hampered by the tangled news coming from Egypt and by the higher US dollar.
The latter gained 0.36 on the trade-weighted index (rising to 78.57), attracting safe-haven bids and benefiting from the wider, but lower than anticipated, US trade gap that was reported by the US Commerce Department for December. The US imported $40.6 billion more than it exported and ran a $497.8 billion trade deficit for the past year as a whole. More than half of that figure was accounted for by America's deficit in trading with...China.
Speaking of China, at least one additional market analyst has gone on record to say that he expects that country's property bubble to pop, and soon (as in: within 12 months). Gillem Tulloch, Managing Director of Forensic Asia Ltd. in Hong Kong, believes that the withdrawal of the credit opium by China's banking system will result in a situation where renting is suddenly more enticing than buying. The more than 11 trillion yuan that China's banks pumped into real estate via loans last year could shrink significantly this year.
That phenomenon, Mr. Tulloch opines, will be the catalyst for the bubble's implosion. Chinese property prices continue to rise, even as residential vacancy percentages approach alarming levels (some 60% in Beijing alone). If you think that steel, copper, aluminium, etc. will be funneled into non-stop additional building in the wake of what Mr. Tulloch expects will happen, you might wish to delve into a borrowed copy of Supply/Demand Fundamentals 101 sometime this weekend.
Since we are on the topic of bubbles, it might be worth noting the following, clearly 'buried' little news items. Obscure as this news is, there something of a cautionary tale to be gleaned therein. Enter the Glassmakers versus the Dutch Central Bank. Or, vice-versa, as the case may be:
Item: THE HAGUE, 11/02/11 - The Dutch central bank (DNB) is demanding that a pension fund wind down its investments in gold substantially. The pension fund for Glassmakers has put 13 percent of its assets in gold, and DNB says it has to cut this to below 3 percent. The supervisory body has given it a so-called 'directive' to do so following the fund's earlier refusal to wind down the investment in gold. The directive has emerged from a ruling by a district court, which this week found against an appeal that the fund made against the measure. The gold must now be sold within two months.DNB does not want to say that it sees gold as the next financial bubble. It does however say that the fund does not comply with the 'prudent person' rule, to which funds must adhere in the interests of their participants, with the its concentration of investments in gold. Pension funds on average invest 2.7 percent in commodities.
Silver opened with a 4-cent drop, quoted at the $30.17 spot bid level. It later sank by about 15 cents to draw closer to the round-figure mark. Meanwhile, platinum and palladium both opened with marginal advances (the former up $5 at $1,837 and the latter up $3 at $823.00) but later also gave up the trend and fell into the red column. US consumer sentiment rose to 75.1 this month, according to a University of Michigan poll. The statistic lifted US Treasuries and the US dollar as well.
...But, Wait! There's More!
Just as this was written (9:10 AM EST) a news flash that Mr. Mubarak has left Cairo came across the wires. Evidently, the man was less than comforted by the manifest readiness of the throngs to storm the Palace. If in fact, this is so, then the EAF (Egyptian Armed Forces) are now in control of the country. That, in turn, might mean that Mr. Mubarak will take his $70 billion booty and hang out at his resort home on the Red Sea - just as this writer envisaged nine days ago, when talking to Marketwatch about the issue.
On the other hand, the potentially better news is that Messrs. Beck and/or Limbaugh can now give up their sad, televised and/or aired attempts at explaining the Egyptian situation and the world at large, and at making total fools of themselves in the process. Perhaps their Hollywood agents could suggest a new career, pitching the Pocket Fisherman or the Chop-O-Matic awaits them. Complete with the But Wait! There's More! string of pregnant pauses.
Slice and dice until Monday.
Have a nice weekend.
