Since September last year, Andy has been preaching through 1 Kings on Sunday evenings, looking at the reign of King Solomon. Last week (3rd April) we reached 1 Kings 10:1-13, the visit of the Queen of Sheba, and Andy spent a large part of the sermon talking about Jesus's reference to this incident: "The queen of the South will rise up at the judgement with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here." (Matthew 12:42).
This stayed on my mind throughout the week, and I spent time meditating on some of the ways in which Jesus is infinitely greater than Solomon. Here are just four of them.
A Great King
Solomon was a great king, one of the greatest that Israel ever had. Under his reign, he extended the boundaries of the kingdom so that they were larger than at any other time in Israel's history, the kingdom was united, the people were happy and their needs were provided for. His reign was the high point in the history of the nation of Israel, and for the 40 glorious years that he reigned they had peace with all the nations that surrounded them.
But if you compare him with Christ, Solomon pales into obscurity. Jesus Christ is an infinitely greater king than Solomon!
Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, and even the greatest rulers on earth are subject to His authority. It is Jesus, as the great King of kings, who delegates to our leaders the power and authority that they have to rule over us.
Jesus is King over everyone who has ever lived, and over every part of the universe that He created. He sits enthroned in the heavens, and one day every knee will bow before Him, and acknowledge his kingly authority!
Solomon reigned for 40 glorious years, but then he died. His reign was over, and soon the kingdom was divided in two, and never regained it's former glory and power. Yet Jesus Christ is not just King for a few short decades, but from eternity past and His reign will never end! It is impossible for anyone to ever depose Him, and all rebellions against Him will ultimately be quashed.
The Israelites were happy with Solomon as their king, he brought them a time of peace and security that they hadn't known before. In the Bible we are given some small glimpses of what it will be like to be in heaven with King Jesus, to whet our appetites and stimulate a longing within us for a kingdom far greater than anyone has experienced here. A place where "in His presence there is fullness of joy… and pleasures for evermore", where all tears will be wiped from our eyes, and there will be no more pain or sin or grief or death. Yet this only scratches the surface of how wonderful it will be to finally be with Him, to have glorious new bodies that are incapable of sinning, and to reign with Him in His never-ending kingdom! It is infinitely more glorious than anything that we have ever seen or can even begin to imagine.
Incomparable Wealth
Solomon was mind-bogglingly wealthy, with riches that far exceeded those of any other king of his generation, and even today he still tops the list of the wealthiest people in all of history.* As well as building a great Temple for God, Solomon built a magnificent palace for himself, made with costly materials and with a unique throne made from ivory and gold. During his reign, gold was so plentiful that silver was considered to be as worthless as stone!
Yet the Bible tells us that it was God who gave Solomon all the wealth that he had. As King over all creation, all that Solomon owned was God's anyway, to dispose of as He saw fit.
"Every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fullness are mine."
Solomon's wealth was worthless when compared with the vast resources that our God has at His disposal!
Unparalleled Wisdom
Above everything else, Solomon is remembered for his unparalleled wisdom. The Bible tells us that his wisdom, given to him by God at his request, was so great that no-one before or since would ever have wisdom like it. Solomon showed great wisdom in the way he administered his kingdom, the alliances that he made, and the judgements that he gave when mediating disputes among the people. He wrote over 1000 songs and 3000 proverbs, he also wrote the book of Ecclesiastes and the beautiful love poem "Song of Solomon". He had wisdom and understanding "beyond measure", so that his fame spread far and wide, and people travelled vast distances to learn from him. When the Queen of Sheba came to talk with him, he was able to answer all the hard questions that were troubling her, "there was nothing hidden from the king that he could not explain to her." His wisdom was truly unparalleled.
Yet Jesus is infinitely greater than Solomon in this, too. Solomon's wisdom was not something he created himself, it was a gift from God whose wisdom is simply in another dimension to that which any human being could ever have. God is omniscient, there is nothing that He does not know, and His wisdom is infinite and utterly beyond our comprehension.
We see the wisdom of God as we look at the incredible world that we live in, which He designed and created in all its intricate details. The beauty of it, the variety, the order and harmony behind it speak clearly of the wisdom of the Creator. The wisdom behind just one flower created by Him far exceeds even the best human designs and inventions!
Yet it is when we consider God's "secret and hidden wisdom" of His plan of salvation that we see most clearly how vastly superior His wisdom is to our own. No wonder that Paul bursts into praise and exclaims "Oh, the depths of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgements and his paths beyond tracing out!"
It should not surprise us then, as we look at the life of Jesus our Creator, that we see wisdom shining through all that He said and did. From His childhood it was clear to those who knew Him that He was full of wisdom, as even then He amazed them with his understanding. During His years of ministry, the crowds who listened to His teaching were astonished at His great wisdom and authority. Even on the occasions when the religious leaders attempted to trick Jesus with their Catch-22 questions, He was able to answer each time in a way which astounded them.
Jesus, our "Wonderful Counsellor", showed perfect, heavenly wisdom not just in what He taught but in every aspect of His life: how He related to everyone He encountered, how He dealt with temptation, His priorities and His leadership of His disciples. His whole life reflected His divine wisdom, and unlike Solomon whose heart turned away from God later in life, He never sinned!
Man of Peace
Solomon was the king who brought peace to the land of Israel. Ever since Joshua and the Israelites had entered the Promised Land around 450 years earlier, God's people had been in almost continual conflict with the nations that surrounded them. Solomon's father David was renowned for being a great warrior, but in contrast to him Solomon was "a man of peace and rest" . Throughout his reign Israel had peace from all of their enemies, and Solomon formed many useful political alliances.
Like Solomon, Jesus brings peace to His people. Hundreds of years before His birth, Isaiah told the people that their Messiah would be called the Prince of Peace, and His peace is of a quality which far surpasses the peace that Israel experienced during Solomon's reign.
Jesus told His disciples that the peace that He gave was different to the peace that the world can give, and His peace is so unique, so great, it is a peace which we simply can't get our heads around. His peace is perfect peace, complete peace: peace with God, peace within ourselves, and peace with other people too.
Our sin means that we are by nature enemies of God, and not at peace with Him. We can't do anything ourselves to get peace with God, we have to rely on Jesus the Mediator, the Peacemaker, who provided the only way to forgive our sins and to bring us to God. This reconciliation with God brings a peace which the world can never offer us.
Jesus also gives us peace within ourselves: the peace of knowing that our guilt is all washed away, but also a deep peace of mind that keeps us secure no matter how difficult the circumstances of our life may be. It is a peace that comes because we know we have a God who is overflowing with love for us, who will never leave us, and who will provide for all our needs. We can be at peace because we know that our God is in sovereign control not just of the universe as a whole, but of our lives as individuals, and that if we are His children then He will work even the worst times of our lives for our lasting good.
Although we live in a world which is full of conflict and hostility, Jesus also gives peace between His people. Barriers which would normally exist between us are destroyed by Jesus as He unites those whom He loves in one body, His bride.
The peace that Israel experienced during Solomon's reign was temporary. Soon after his death the kingdom was divided in two, and once again they faced hostility from their enemies in the nations around them.
Yet the peace that Jesus offers is everlasting peace. We can experience it to a limited degree here on earth, but in heaven there will be nothing at all to spoil His peace. The prophets poetically described it as a time when swords will be beaten into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks, and when "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them." A place of perfect, eternal peace!
Jesus said that He was greater than Solomon: what an understatement! Solomon was the greatest, wealthiest, wisest king that the Israelites had, but Jesus is infinitely greater in every way! One day, like the Queen of Sheba, we will gaze in breathless awe and wonder at our King, and realise that "the half was not told me" during our lifetime here. There are such great depths for us to spend eternity discovering!

Boundary news
Arbitral tribunal chosen to resolve Bangladesh-India maritime boundary dispute
(9 March 2010)
The president of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), Judge Jose Luis Jesus, has appointed three arbitrators for an arbitral tribunal to resolve the maritime boundary dispute between Bangladesh and India. On 13 December 2009, Bangladesh approached the president of ITLOS to appoint an arbitral tribunal under article 3 of Annex VII as part of the dispute resolution clause of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. The three members of the tribunal were chosen on 12 February 2010, but a press release was not given by ITLOS until 8 March 2010, possibly to allow both Bangladesh and India to appoint their ad hoc members. The five-member arbitral tirbunal with include Judges Rudinger Wolfrum (Germany) as president, Tullio Treves (Italy) and Ivan Shearer (Australia). Two additional members of the tribunal have been nominated by the two parties with Bangladesh chosing the international jurist Professor Vaughan Lowe and India chosing P. Sreenivasa Rao, a former legal advisor to the ministry of external affairs.
Although ITLOS has clearly played a role in constituting the arbitral tribunal between Bangladesh and India, the arbitral tribunal itself will be an independent judicial body. The timescale for pleadings and hearings has not yet been set but reports suggest that both sides have pressed for a speedy resolution. Bangladesh had also approached ITLOS to resolve its maritime boundary dispute with neighbouring Myanmar and a timetable was set for pleadings in 2010 and 2011. However, Bangladesh and Myanmar have continued bilateral talks alongside the ITLOS initiative and these talks could result in an agreement outside of judicial settlement.

Palomar college's classes can be amazing or terrible, depending on the teacher you get (I have had mostly amazing).

The students are friendly enough, and we get all kinds here; diversity is definitely something I see on campus.Read More
Palomars campus is pretty nice with new building still being build all around. The parking is horrible I have almost been late to class the last two days. I think they are building a new parking structure which should really help.Read More
A great campus full of invested professors. The campus is easily accessible and pedestrian friendly. It is continuously updating itself and is very modern.Read More

A clean, modern, and interactive community college. I have had a great experience here the past 2 years.Read More
Palomar College is a great start towards a prosperous college career. The teachers here are helpful and caring. The classes here helped me prepare for my upper division classes.Read More
My experience at Palomar Community College has been mostly good, as it is a fun and friendly environment. I've met some inspiring professors and students that take interest in my life and dreams, as well as some interesting individuals walking around campus. One of my favorite thing to do is walk around campus and find little secret places, haven even gotten tours inside buildings and the gallery from enthusiastic staff, which is why i'd rate the college an easy 8 out of 10.Read More

You do realize that the generals and the rich have always ruled? I mean, the generals and the rich ruled in Athens, in Classical days; in Rome, before, during, and after the transition from formal Republic to (inside joke) Principate; in France during their Revolution; and everywhere since the Industrial Revolution.
It is my job as a writer to advise you, Dear Reader, that the generals and the rich ruled Asians societies, too: the ideological structure of mediation of the domination of the rich through the intellectual hurdle of memorization was a superb governmental reform, but it did produce an over-emphasis on stasis.
Now, given that frame, I draw your attention to the Crimean War. If one — that is, if You, the reader — adopts the framework, outlined in this blog last month, of Orwell's prescient picture of three super-states, Russia, America, and China, constantly warring over the resources of South and West Asia [what we Eurocentrically-educated tend to call "the Middle East"], Africa, and Latin America, then the Crimean War is in some real sense the first brush (to employ Orwell's terminology) of Eurasia fighting Oceania.
The Crimean War was basically an exercise, let us recall, in sea power: the leaders of Oceania asserted that their navies could invade the Black Sea, hitherto a Eurasian lake, and at will seize the main Russian Imperial naval base at Sebastopol. [It is the primary function of an effective naval force, surely, to repel naval-borne assaults on the territory of the nation.] Once the siege had been brought to a successful conclusion, that was it: Eurasia sued for peace.
That defeat was traumatic for the Russian political and social sense of itself: the reigning tsar died, possibly of a broken heart, and the new tsar, his son, announced almost immediately an intention radically to revise the social and political arrangements of the Empire. So severely had the defeat shaken the legitimacy of the Autocracy, that he was obliged to abolish serfdom from above, he said, before it was abolished for him from below. Literary expression of the impact was equally shattering. For one example, Count Leo Tolstoy, perhaps — not in my personal opinion, mind you, I'm a diehard advocate of Dostoevsky, but alas! that is a minority view — the greatest writer Russia produced since the death of Pushkin, first burst into public prominence with his dramatic depiction of the siege, Sebastopol. If you, the reader, would like my opinions to cite some authority for the above analysis, wikipedia says
More recently, historians Andrew Lambert and Winfried Baumgart have argued that, first, Britain was following a geopolitical strategy in aiming to destroy a fledgling Russian Navy which might challenge the Royal Navy for control of the seas, and second that the war was a joint European response to a century of Russian expansion not just southwards but also into western Europe.
So if there is, insofar as there is now, a super-state stretching from the Dnieper River to the Bering Straits, its rulers are committed to making any repetition of the humiliation of the Crimean War impossible. Both the elites in charge and the population at large are going to agree on that goal, the charms of Europeanization notwithstanding. The bleating, as I have termed it, of the propaganda babblers of the American Imperial Ministry of Truth, such as that of Michael Ignatieff already cited in the course of this post, amount to transparent warmongering.
But that is what we have come to expect: virtually continuous warfare among three great powers, with no vital interests at stake — except to continue the wars for ever.

Game 5 recap: Indiana spoils Iowa's NCAA tourney hopes in blowout
WASHINGTON — Iowa had a lot on the line in its game vs. Indiana on Thursday night. The No. 7 Hawkeyes arrived to the Big Ten tourney sitting squarely on the bubble. The Hawkeyes needed to get at least one win, probably two, to feel good about its NCAA tourney chances.
Alas, Iowa came up short in falling to No. 10 Indiana, 95-73. Those NCAA hopes for the Hawkeyes? Toss them out the window. Indiana isn't going to dance unless it wins the Big Ten tourney. The odds are long, but this is a good start for what has been a disappointing season in Bloomington. This is a talented team. This is a dangerous team. This is a team with no pressure and nothing to lose. Beware, Big Ten. IU's next task? Taking on No. 2 Wisconsin on Friday.
Here's the best from Indiana's blowout win vs. Iowa.
Top star: James Blackmon, Indiana. The junior played like an All-American, notching a game-high 23 points. He hit 7-of-9 shots (4-of-5 from 3-point range) with eight rebounds and four assists.
Top stat line: Jordan Bohannon, Iowa. The talented freshman tied a career-high with 24 points, hitting 6-of-11 from downtown, handed out a career-high 10 assists and picked up two steals. How good can he become?
Top stat: 60, Indiana's shooting percentage from the field (35-of-58) and 3-point range (12-of-20). When you are that hot, you win a lot of games and score a lot of points—95, to be exact—including 52 in the second half.
Top dunk: Indiana jetted out in transition after coming up with a loose ball. That's when James Blackmon spotted Thomas Bryant, who took a nice pass and executed a thunderous two-handed slam to give the Hoosiers a 50-48 lead with 16:12 left in the game.
It was over when: Fueled by the hot shooting of James Blackmon, IU went on a 12-0 run to take a 67-52 lead with 12:26 left in the game. Blackmon hit his first three 3-pointers of the second half and the run was capped by a Thomas Bryant dunk. Indiana maintained its torrid pace and ended up running away with the game.
Did you see that? Late in the game, Fran McCaffery had seen enough and was whistled for a technical foul. Mount Fran strikes again!
- Iowa arrived at the Big Ten tourney as the hottest team in the league, winners of four in a row and seven of 10 games.
- Indiana had no momentum coming to Washington, D.C., losers of six of eight.
- Wisconsin beat Indiana two times this season.

Hello Spring!
Monday, 13 May 2013
Right now it's raining, so maybe not that springy right now, but it have been warm and some sun the last few weeks, which means…flowers! Which again means that it's finally time to press some flowers again. I love to put some pressed flowers in my letters, does anyone else do that? I'm not sure if it's that fun to receive, I'm afraid the flowers may be turned into dust before they arrive even when I trie to protect them. Have you received flowers from me or someone else? Did it go well, and did you like it?
This is how I do it, so the flowers don't close up and end up looking like just a green plant with all the colours hidden. Probably very obvies, but maybe helpful for someone?
Now I'm going to the post office, in the rain. I've had some letters waiting to be sent for over a week now, I keep forgetting to bring them when I go out.

Family Faith Formation
Our Vision
This ministry seeks to affirm the family as a place where faith is taught, practiced and modeled and encourages more spiritual growth for both parents and children.
We found that for many of our parents it's not easy to talk about faith or to consistently incorporate spiritual rituals in their family life. This can be due to many different factors. We believe that rituals, such as table or night prayers, the occasional reading of a Bible story, conversations "about God and the world" and other such things are crucial building blocks in the spiritual development of children. Our team tries to encourage that and gives parents real hands-on help.
Right now the team consists of our Pastor (who has three school age children), and Jennifer Bodolus, Director of Family Faith Formation. Brian Brenfleck and Robin Alderfer work with our youth ministry.
Our mantra for the super busy, overbooked families of our time: "Less is more." Try to do a few little things and do them pretty consistently!
What We Do
First of all, our team prays for families and their children. We are serving about 30 families who have children anywhere from cradle to 6th grade. We pray for their general and special needs and also send baptism cards when the children have a baptism anniversary. We encourage parents to light their child's baptism candle on that day and make it a special occasion. Our team also offers special events from time to time, but not too often, due to our mantra (less is more).
We plan many wonderful family afternoons with a spiritual lesson for the parents, crafts and games, food and lots of fun. In between, parents will get the occasional email with a prayer, suggestions or food for thought in terms of faith at home. We also have a small resource area in our church parlor with books and resources designated for parents or anyone who wants or needs them. You can take them home and bring the back when you don't need them anymore.
Beyond the fun-value of these events, it's important for all of us to remember that they sow seeds in the hearts of kids AND adults alike. The values and spiritual lessons we teach in our programs aid faith development, a sense of compassion, curiosity about God, fellowship and friendship, sharing, and FUN! Each week is an adventure as kids and adults grow in their love of the Lord. Please download our Family Faith Formation brochure here for a list of upcoming events.

Question 1. What was your very first job?
The first thing I did that felt like a job was working as a TA for a math class during my sophomore year at Harvard University; however, technically, the first time I was paid for work was as a juggler in high school.
Question 2. IF elected and IF you only got one thing accomplished in your tenure, what do you hope that is and how do you plan to make it happen?
If I could only get one thing accomplished as governor, I would pass a progressive income tax. Our current tax structure is broken, asking more from middle-class families like mine instead of demanding that corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share. That's why I've introduced and organized support for a constitutional amendment to allow for a progressive income tax, and when I'm governor, I will mobilize the grassroots base that got me elected to pass this policy.
Question 3. Give a scenario outside of politics that sheds light on how you will be able to get things done in office.
When I entered college, I noticed how math classes for incoming students exacerbated inequalities around class, gender, and race rather than leveling the playing field. There were classes for students who entered college with advanced training and classes to fill general education requirements—but nothing for students who lacked advanced classes at their high schools and wanted to get up to speed. I led the fight to create a course to fill this gap, and this course is still offered today.
Question 4. What compromises are you willing to make to make sure a budget stalemate doesn't happen again?
The budget stalemate was the worst our state has ever seen. For decades, governors of both parties have been able to pass budgets—but Bruce Rauner refused to make the necessary compromises. Unlike Rauner, I will enter the role with experience working with colleagues from both parties to pass needed reforms and, also unlike Rauner, I will be willing to compromise on a deal so long as it supports middle-class and working families.
Question 5. How does the state make up the payments to social services/schools, etc. from the last budget stalemate?
We must promptly make up payments to social services, schools, and other programs and services that missed payments and faced cuts. The budget crisis was absolutely devastating to communities across the state, especially those that have faced decades of disinvestment. To make up these payments and guarantee funding for years to come, I will pass a progressive income tax, tax financial transactions, and close the carried interest loophole.
Question 6. How should the state continue to pay for the rising pension costs of public workers?
We must fulfill our pension promises to public employees. Our pension crisis is a result of our state's failure to reliably fund the system over decades, and the first step is to start making full payments every year. I will raise the revenue necessary to support payments by passing progressive revenue solutions and by exploring ways to improve efficiency and root out corruption without reducing payments, such as by consolidating our pension systems to improve oversight and investment returns.
Question 7. Where do you stand on medical marijuana legalization? Recreational marijuana legalization?
I support legalizing recreational and medical cannabis. I have co-sponsored legislation to legalize cannabis and voted to decriminalize recreational cannabis and legalize medical cannabis. I believe that existing policies unfairly target communities of color and unnecessarily burden taxpayers. By legalizing and taxing cannabis, and by exercising my commutation powers to remedy unjust sentencing, we can support Illinois families and raise the revenue we need to invest in our communities.
Question 8. What kind of tax plan do you support and what yield would it have?
I will rebuild our tax system to ensure corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share by passing a progressive income tax, taxing financial transactions, and closing the carried interest loophole. I will also overhaul our broken property tax system, which lets the wealthy and well-connected off the hook while leaving the rest of us to pay the price, by passing legislation I introduced to improve transparency and accountability.
Question 9. Do you support term limits for legislators/governors?
I support term limits for governors and for legislative leadership positions including the Senate President, Speaker of the House, and minority party leaders. I introduced legislation to impose legislative term limits when I first joined the House and I am still advocating for this policy today. These reforms would prevent the consolidation of power and encourage rank-and-file legislators to pursue leadership positions, which will amplify diverse voices and stimulate the flow of new ideas.
Question 10. Tell us one thing on an issue you think the opposing party got right?
Republicans are correct in pursuing redistricting reform and term limits for legislative leadership positions. Gerrymandering violates fundamental democratic principles by preventing competitive elections and inhibiting representation of diverse communities. Term limits for legislative leadership positions are crucial to bring new voices into political discussions and prevent the consolidation of power. I am willing to work with anyone in either party to advance these crucial reforms.
Question 11. As the conversation continues nationally about school safety and gun control, what would you propose to make sure our schools are even safer for all students in Illinois?
It is crucial that we make our schools safe for all students. I support legislation to require gun dealers to be licensed, restrict the number of guns that can be purchased within a set time span, and ban bump stocks, assault weapons, and expanded magazines. I also support legislation introduced by my running mate, State Representative Litesa Wallace, to fund trauma response protocols for our schools through a tax on ammunition sales.
Question 12. Where do you plan to look first in curbing gun violence?
We must combine common sense gun reforms with community investment. I was a cosponsor of the original Gun Dealer Licensing Act and support restricting the number of guns that can be purchased within a set time span and banning bump stocks, assault weapons, and expanded magazines. Additionally, I will address gun violence as a public health issue by funding violence prevention programs and intervention services and fighting for universal healthcare, including mental health treatment.

LONDON --Millions take aspirin for heart health, but a study found that the drug may fight cancer as well.An Oxford University study discovered that daily doses of aspirin can cut the risk of death from the most common forms of cancer including colon, lung and gastro intestinal cancers.
"What we found was, in the trials where people were taking aspirin for four, five , six, seven years on average, the risk of dying from cancer was reduced by about 25 percent," said Dr. Peter Rothwell, the author of the Oxford study.
Doctors caution that there are potentially dangerous side effects for some patients, including bleeding, stomach bleeding and stroke.
The study was published Tuesday in the medical journal Lancet.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Chloe Seager grew up in East London with her Mum and much-loved cat, Katie. She studied English Literature and Drama at the University of East Anglia, where she sadly realised she couldn't act, but did rediscover her love of children's books. Children's Literature was one of her favourite modules, and it made her wonder why grown-ups ever stopped reading them. She now works with them full-time as a YA/Children's literary agent at Diane Banks Associates, and lives back in East London with her boyfriend and pet fish. Editing Emma is her first novel.

As you may well know, a couple of years back, I spent 12 months on the road, travelling down the Americas – including five months travelling North America by motorcycle.
For the final ride – down California's Pacific Coast Highway One (PC1) – my dad (another keen motorcyclist) and his partner Simone flew out to San Francisco, Ruth to Vancouver, and a whole host of other friends and family members made appearances along the way.
They brought a video camera with them, and here's a little montage I've put together using the footage.
Starring (in alphabetical order):
Anna Nickum
David Arthur Bush
Hattie Fisher
Leanna Duffield
Lee Fulton
Roy Duffield (me, AKA: the Drinking Traveller)
Ruth Walter
Simone Poolton
Tony Duffield
Sorry if I missed anyone.
Special thanks to Simone and Ruth for the camera work, which I know for a fact is no easy feat from the back of a speeding motorcycle, to David for helping me get set up with the bike in the first place, and in fact to everyone who made an appearance.
Sadly, as is always the case in life, some of the best bits were never recorded, such as getting invited into the garage of the infamous Hell's Angels Oakland Chapter, or meeting the family of Arlen Ness at his custom bike shop in Dublin, California after happening to break down just around the corner.
Nor is there anything from the rest of the trip. But, hey, it's got Venice Beach, LA, PC Highway 1, Cook's Corner Biker bar, the Danish village of Solvang, Carmel-by-the-Sea, the Big Sur River Inn, Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co restaurant in San Francisco, and Johnny's Bar, Hollister – birthplace of the American biker.
Sorry for running the track twice, but there were just too many memories to cut it into one song.
Also, in case you don't know – and want to know – the music is "All Along the Watchtower" written by Bob Dylan and performed by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. I chose it because I heard it somewhere in LA at the beginning of the trip and then in my head every time I climbed back in the saddle.
Sorry it took me so long, everyone. I hope you enjoy it!

Equestre Internationale News
Final Countdown!
last competition of the FEI World Cup Dressage Western European
League takes place this weekend at Indoor Brabant,'s-Hertogenbosch,
The Netherlands, and the result of Saturday afternoon's Freestyle
to Music will decide which riders have succeeded in winning places
at the 2004 FEI World Cup Dressage Final.
It is more important than ever, as now a further three riders
from this League will be allowed to take part in Duesseldorf next
week (April 1-4). There is also the question of who will top the
League yet to be answered.
For Anky van Grunsven Indoor Brabant is the scene of many triumphs
and of course of Bonfire's retirement ceremony in 2001 after winning
Olympic Individual Gold. The great horse on whom Anky won the
FEI World Cup a record five times gave her some worry this week
when he was admitted to veterinary hospital with stomach pains,
but she is relieved to report that it is nothing serious and that
'Bonni' will be returning home tomorrow, though he and his companion,
the pony Jolly Jumper, will miss
their display planned for Sunday evening.
Here Anky rides Salinero, on whom she has already this season
won two qualifiers and placed second in the other. On 57 points,
equal with Britain's Emma Hindle (who is not competing here),
if she wins again, she could win the League. At any rate after
losing much of last year due to injury she is delighted to be
back. She said: " Indoor Brabant is 'my show' as it is so
close to home, and I am very happy to be competing here again.
For me, as my first 'big thing' after a long time, I am very excited
about the Final. It is very exciting this season with so many
good horses and riders - not only from Europe."
The US challengers are in training with USET team coach Klaus
Blakenhol in preparation for Duesseldorf. Titleholder Debbie McDonald
led the contingent in a warm up, winning the Special tour in fine
style with Brentina at CDI Dortmund. As with German standings
leader Heike Kemmer and Hubertus Schmidt in second, they are sitting
this one out.Isabell Werth, in third place in the standings, is
riding to make sure of her Final place above compatriot Ann Kathrin
Linsenhoff in seventh as only three riders per nation may take
The extra allowance for the Western European League - in recognition
of the high quality this season - also should give Scandinavia
a stronger showing at the Final, depending on the results here.
Former titleholder Louise Nathhorst is in ninth spot and standing
tenth, if all goes well for Danish dental student Nicole Ahlefeldt
Laurvig-Lehn in this final qualifier, she should be riding her
Trakehner gelding Esprit in her first final, in her first World
Cup season, just a few days before her 25th birthday.

Longtime readers may know that -- as a rule -- I am not enthused by "genre" fiction. It can work well as a fun distraction, but it is almost always too riddled with cliche, manipulation, and exposition to be of any literary value. But there are exceptions and The Three Body Problem is one of them.
In summary, the The Three Body Problem is a very original story in the alien invasion genre. It is a bit of a slow burn as we follow the the plot of the alien contact through flashbacks over the course of the book, not getting the full picture until the later stages. The aliens, it seems, live on a planet that has three suns. This arrangement causes massive swings in climate such that there are varying periods of seemingly random lengths during which the inhabitants can live. The defense they have evolved against this is the ability to "dehydrate" -- essential mummify themselves until the climate resumes in a livable state. The livable periods can vary from a few hundred to thousands of years, but with each livable period civilization must be rebuilt. Eventually one of the civilizations manages to discover a planet nearby (Earth) and is able to construct ships to take them there. There is no question this is an invasion as they are in cahoots with a group of quislings on Earth and have more or less stated their intentions. This is where is gets interesting. There are a group of scientists who are dedicated to defending the Earth, a group of quislings who wants to welcome the aliens as our new overlords who will educate and advance us since we are failures, and lastly a group of quislings who welcome the aliens as destroyers -- believing humanity is such a destructive force that it would be better wiped from the Earth entirely. Did I mention the author is Chinese?
Over the past few years I have read a fair bit of popular Chinese fiction and one thing that I find interesting is how the hellish spectre of the Cultural Revolution hovers over the Chinese mind. The initial contact with the aliens is by a woman whose life was destroyed and whose soul was shredded during the Cultural Revolution. She receives a message from an alien dissident that warns her that exposing Earth to his kind will result in invasion and possibly the genocide of humanity. She thinks about it and reveals herself anyway because the notion of value and meaning to human life has been so thoroughly ripped from her by horrific experiences. Couple this with the idea that a group of nihilists (interestingly, philosophically rooted in environmentalism) could grab power to the point where they might achieve total destruction and you begin to see how this story would spring from a mind that had the horrors and insanity of the Cultural Revolution to draw on.
Still, this is science fiction. So there are equal parts interesting ideas and implausible plot points, luckily a lid is kept on the technical blather. But the characters here are a cut above. Liu has a keen eye for motivations. The tragedies and triumphs are well fleshed out from a human standpoint. The prose and dialogue are solid, not drone-y or tone deaf as is the case in most sci-fi. It made for a fascinating and compelling read. At the conclusion of a chapter, it's not often I am chomping at the bit for the next, but that was not unusual here.
Because of our current era, everyone who reads this will likely see it as a parable for a danger they see on the horizon. In the afterword, Liu specifically notes that it is not a political book, and you will certainly not find a down-the-line litany of symbolism for this cause or that. For example, the good guys are clearly pro-science and the nihilists are anti-science, however the nihilists are also environmentalists while the good guys are, shall we say, human-chauvinists. If you want to you'll be able to twist and turn the ideological conflicts to validate your feelings. I suggest you don't, or at least you look for large philosophical themes over direct addressing of the issues of the day.
So should you read The Three Body Problem. I would say yes. Even if you hate sci-fi, the you'll likely connect with the characters. If you love garden-variety sci-fi, there is enough of an action novel of ideas to keep you going. There is a good chance, though, you'll find something more, either emotionally or intellectually. By the way, at the book's close, the aliens are about 400 years away. There are two sequels. I am on the fence about reading those. I fear they will take a turn for the worse -- i.e. be conventional.

As a Federation with one Executive Headteacher there is close contact and liaison between the Infant and Junior Schools, and with our other feeder schools, to ensure a smooth transition for children both into Reception and into the Junior School.
Strong links are also maintained with our neighbouring secondary schools to help ease transition for pupils at the end of Year 6. Key staff work together to support children transferring to and from this school to feel secure and confident in the next steps on their journey.
Wildground Junior and Infant children regularly take part in joint activities and many clubs are open to children from both schools. At the time of transition the Year 2/3 children will already feel familiar with their new school and can feel confident about the next stage in their education. Similarly our Year 6 pupils attend activities at the local secondary schools during their final year at Wildground Junior School.

Understanding the Causes and Reasons for Food Cravings
Before you can learn what steps you can take to overcome your food cravings and keep them under control you first need to understand the reasons behind your cravings. This is because our cravings have different causes.
Understanding Food Cravings
If you have never experienced a food craving you might think that food cravings are simply an inability to say no to a certain food due to a lack of willpower.
This is not the case.
A food craving is an intense and what feels to almost be uncontrollable need to eat a certain food. This need goes well beyond the normal feeling of hunger.
A craving for a particular food arises because the brain is receiving the wrong signal. The problem is that working out the underlying causes for the transmission of these incorrect signals, so that you can learn how to outsmart and curb food cravings, can take quite a bit of patience and detective work.
Food cravings are more likely to be experienced by women than men and women seem to have less ability to fend off these desires. It seems that the areas of the brain linked to food desire are more active in women.
Have you ever experienced a food craving?
What Part Of Our Brains Are Activated When We Crave Food
There are three areas of our brain that seem to be activated when a food craving occurs, the hippocampus, the insula and the caudate nucleus.
The hippocampus is the part of our brain which forms, organizes and store our memories and it connects our emotions and senses such as taste and smell to these memories.
The insula is actually in two parts and this is the part of our brain that identifies whether we are hungry or not or whether we are craving a particular food (or other substance).
The caudate nucleus is used for memory and learning and it is also active when our senses are sending information to our brain. It also helps regulate our bodies levels of dopamine, a feel good hormone which our bodies produce.
Research by the Monell Chemical Senses Center has shown that the memory areas of our brains are strongly activated when a craving arises. Our brain provides details from our memory of the food that will satisfy the craving which has arisen and only that food will be good enough to quell the craving.
Do you usually crave sweet or savory foods?
What Triggers Food Cravings In Our Brains
Current medical opinion has identified three key players which drive our cravings for food:
- Serotonin
- Cortisol
- Glucose
A craving for food may be triggered by an imbalance in one or more or these chemicals and they appear to be very closely linked.
Low levels of serotonin stimulate our cravings for carbohydrates and these low levels can be due to a large number of causal factors such as stress, depression, poor nutrition, food allergies, hormones and insomnia.
Low levels of serotonin cause us to crave carbohydrates because our bodies use carbohydrates to manufacture serotonin.
When we eat, the levels of serotonin in our system increase until it is sufficient to trigger the hypothalamus to tell us that we've had enough to eat and now need to stop. This means that if you increase your levels of serotonin you are likely to eat less and if you decrease your serotonin you are likely to eat more.

Dr Daniel Amen - Tips to Control Your Food Cravings - Part Two
The levels of cortisol required by our bodies varies throughout the day. The lowest levels are at night when we are asleep but they gradually increase towards morning when we need to wake up and then decline again over the remainder of the day. So ideally our cortisol levels should follow this daily rhythm and not be consistently high or low.
Cortisol is different from serotonin as both high and low levels drive our need to eat. High levels stimulate hunger and low levels leave us feeling tired and lacking in energy and seeking a pick me up very often in the form of a sugary treat.
Stress is the main reason for us to have high levels of cortisol and low levels are caused by adrenal failure or fatigue.
Low blood sugar levels are a common trigger for food cravings. Low glucose levels can be caused by diabetes but they can also be caused by dieting as going without food for too long or not eating enough food can both cause our blood sugar levels to drop.
Common Causes of Food Cravings
There are a number of common circumstances which lead to us suffering from food cravings.
- The female monthly hormone cycle
- Dieting
- Stress
- Underlying medical conditions
- Poor diet
Female Monthly Hormone Cycle
The increases and decreases in various hormones in a woman's monthly cycle not only drive the cravings for food they also determine what types of food will be uncontrollably yearned for.
As the levels of estrogen rise and fall so does the cortisol - the fight or flight hormone and when levels of cortisol are high this stimulates the appetite for fats and carbohydrates.
Serotonin is also often adversely affected by the monthly hormone cycle and low levels of serotonin also trigger cravings for carbohydrates because our bodies use carbohydrates to make serotonin.
High levels of cortisol with low levels of serotonin drive us to eat simple carbohydrates such as chocolate in order to provide a quick sugar fix that will drive up the levels of serotonin. High levels of cortisol with normal levels of serotonin normally drive us to eat foods containing both fat and carbohydrates, but without the quick sugar fix.
Some women also experience low blood sugar levels in the 2nd half of the cycle and this can also drive the desire for a quick sugar fix in just the same way as low levels of serotonin.
One of the reasons we experience food cravings when we are dieting is due to our bodies natural reaction. It equates a lack of food with danger of starvation and sends messages to our brains telling us to eat something now!
Also when we are dieting we often tend to eat very bland food and we also tend to be quite repetitive - research shows that boredom can create cravings, as can trying not to think about a certain food.
What food do you crave most often?
Stress drives our appetites and desires for food. It affects the foods we eat and how well we digest and absorb those foods and for some food is the mechanism that they use to cope with their stress. These people turn to food when they are feeling down, they've had a particularly difficult day at work or looking after the children or when a relationship breaks up. They are often referred to as emotional eaters
Stress increases our levels of cortisol which also drives us to eat foods containing fats and carbohydrates.
Underlying Medical Conditions
If your cravings appear very suddenly or come on very strongly or are accompanied by other physical symptoms it is important for you to consult your doctor so that they can rule out underlying medical conditions such as one of those listed below:it is a
Depression - When we are feeling low our serotonin levels are also low and low levels of serotonin lead us to eat foods high in carbohydrates. Eating carbs is our body's attempt to self medicate our depression.
Hypoglycemia - If you are suffering from unstable blood sugar levels when your blood sugar levels drop your body will lead you to crave foods that are high in carbohydrate and sugar.
Adrenal failure - Our adrenal glands are responsible for the production of cortisol and certain medical conditions such as Addison's Disease or Adrenal Cortex Disease mean that insufficient quantities of cortisol are produced.
Medication for an underlying medical condition - Certain drugs can stimulate our appetite or cause problems with our blood sugar levels If you think that any of your medication is influencing your appetite you should discuss this matter with your doctor or pharmacist as they may be an alternative medicine that you could take which doesn't have these side effects.
What do you think causes your food cravings?
Poor Diet
A poor diet can lead to us having deficiencies in various vitamins and minerals. Deficiencies in Magnesium, Chromium, Carbon, Phosphorus, Sulfur and Tryptophan have been linked to food cravings.
Thanks for this informative hub, as for me when im stressed i don't eat all. I don't understand how some people have food craving when they're stressed :) Thanks!
Great Hub! Knowing what causes out food cravings can really help us stay at a healthy weight be helping us to avoid them in the future. I've recently written a Hub about food allergies which includes some information on resisting cravings and, I hope you don't mind, I've provided a link to your page as I feel it provides some great extra information. Hope that's alright!
There really is a lot more to food cravings than one might think. Very in-depth hub; it revealed some things to me I didn't know, like about low levels of serotonin stimulating cravings for carbs. This explains why I'm all about carbs. Great hub! Voted up.
Very well written. Covered many useful and informative points. I have learnt many new things from your hub. Good one. Voted UP
I have just published the similar hub, but yours has covered all the aspects in quite a broad way. Really good one! voted up!
Wonderful information on why I crave what I do. Thanks for the info.
Fascinating and very thorough response to the question! Thank you! I have peanut butter cravings often, but not intense and uncontrollable. Usually each month, I really crave cake and cookies, which are not on my diabetes diet. Love all the polls, and tons of useful information. Bookmarking and sharing - best, Steph

russian citizenship by descent What You Need To Realise
Australia sheds, according to my quotes, near to $70 billion a year in tax obligation revenue as a result of the changing of corporate earnings to tax obligation sanctuaries. That's close to 20 percent of the corporate tax earnings that is gathered each year. This is legal.
The Australian Point Of View russian citizenship by descent
On the other hand, an approximated $8.7 trillion, 11.5 percent of the entire world's G.D.P., is held offshore by ultrawealthy families in a handful of tax obligation shelters, as well as most of it isn't being reported to the appropriate tax obligation authorities. This is … not so lawful.
These numbers represent a huge loss of sources that, if gathered, could be utilized to reduce tax obligations on the remainder of us, or invested in social programs to assist individuals in our societies.
3 Factors Concerning russian citizenship by descent
Below are the top 3 reasons why everybody ought to take into consideration opening up an overseas savings account.
1) With russian citizenship by descent an Offshore Checking Account Safeguards Your Possessions
Without an offshore savings account, your assets are revealed.
If you hold 100% of your funds in the very same nation that you live and also function, you're handling some considerable legal threat by holding all your eggs in one basket.
This goes specifically if you are staying in the USA– one of the most litigious nation that has ever existed in the history of the globe.
Offshore Banking Costs & Considerations
In the Land of the Free, you can be sued for definitely nothing … and also suddenly all your properties and all of your financial savings are up for grabs by pointless complainants.
Any court or government firm could freeze you from your savings account with a solitary telephone call with no due process or giving you the possibility making your situation.
It's really a "guilty up until tried and tested innocent" system.
Holding some funds overseas in an international bank account could help give a bit of insurance versus this danger.
Banking offshore is essentially a zero-cost means of making certain that, regardless of what takes place, you'll always have access to emergency funds.
Offshore Banking Institutions
2) Numerous Offshore Financial Institution Accounts Are MUCH Safer
The regrettable fact is that a variety of banks in the West remain in perilous problem.
Of course, couple of individuals ever provide a thought to financial institution security. Many people invest even more time thinking of just what they're mosting likely to have for dinner compared to whether or not their financial institution is risk-free.
As well as why should they? We've been informed our entire lives that financial institutions are risk-free. After all, the government says so!
Once more, this has turned out to be an obsolete dream.
The globe discovered by hand in 2008 that financial institutions aren't as secure as they desire us to believe.
Suddenly, OVERNIGHT, some of the largest financial institutions worldwide fell down. Wachovia. Lehman Brothers. Washington Mutual. Lots of financial institutions disappeared in an immediate.
And little has actually altered since 2008.
Options For Offshore Bank Accounts
In Europe we could see a number of significant financial institutions, as well as whole national banking systems, that are on the ropes, this is crucial when considering russian citizenship by descent.
The Spanish and Italian banking systems have required numerous bailouts. The Greek banking system is in a state of perpetual crisis.
Capital Controls in Cyprus
Cyprian lady locked out of her financial savings throughout the 2013 banking crisis
In 2013, the banking system in Cyprus ended up being completely insolvent to the point that they had to freeze everyone's account and also take funds from the largest depositors.
In the United States, banks generally preserve very reduced degrees of 'liquidity', indicating the quantity of cash (or money equivalents) they carry hand as a percent of client down payments is alarmingly low.
Just How Overseas Financial Institutions Rate
Numerous banks overseas still adhere to traditional, traditional banking methods.
They don't gamble and also make crazy finances with their depositors' hard gained cost savings.
They hold strong, conservative levels of capital and liquidity, and they're EXTREMELY cautious with their clients' loan.
And also unlike Europe and also the USA, they're located in territories where governments have ZERO financial obligation as well as their insurance funds are well-capitalized as well as solvent.
We're residing in the 21st century. Our modern technology is instantaneous as well as it spans the world.
Geography is an irrelevant metachronism, especially in money.
Do not select your bank as a result of its convenient place to your home or office.
Choose your financial institution due to the fact that it's the most effective, most CONSERVATIVE custodian of your cost savings … whether that's nearby, or across the world.
3) An Offshore Bank might even pay you MUCH greater rate of interest on your US Dollars.
Given that the start of the Global Financial Situation in 2008, major reserve banks slashed rates of interest to historical lows.
Actually, rate of interest were at their lowest levels in 5,000 years of tape-recorded human background. In some parts of Europe, rate of interest were also adverse.
Rates have actually begun to climb– yet they're still FAR below their historical averages.
In a lot of industrialized nations, as a matter of fact, financial institution rates of interest are well BELOW the rate of inflation.
As an example, if your bank pays 1%, but the rising cost of living rate is 3%, your cost savings is successfully shedding 2% of its buying power yearly.
You should earn AT LEAST 3% each year simply to stay up to date with rising cost of living and also guarantee your cost savings doesn't lose out.
With russian citizenship by descent, in the USA and Europe, this has actually become practically an unfeasibility.
Interest rates are well listed below the price of rising cost of living, which guarantees you will certainly shed purchasing power every year.
