POLITICS. Can't live with it, can certainly live without it, but for some reason can't seem to get away from it. Statements, opinions, and news about politics almost always take up the top headlines of any media be it the mainstream press, websites, television or radio. And understandably so, as what our politicians our leaders say, think, and do is undoubtedly of great significance for us, the rakyat.
I'm not an expert in politics. To be honest, I'm not particularly interested in the partisan political posturing that regularly takes place in Malaysia. I'd like to think that this lack of understanding of the nitty-gritty of politics means that I am very much like the majority of Malaysians.
Not being very politically savvy is, however, a dangerous existence. It means that most Malaysians are very susceptible to the common tools employed by politicians to garner support or sympathy the cult of personality, playing with emotions, addressing the often-cited "sensitive issues", and the subtle but dark art of "spin".
Gutter politics and spin
The cult of personality is where the rakyat become aligned to a particular political party or individual simply because of what or who they are, and remain blindly loyal regardless of what they say or do. The extent to which this has perpetuated in Malaysia has become quite extreme.
The Malaysian political landscape is very polarised. When it comes to elections, people rarely talk about real issues, and do not consider these issues when exercising their right to vote. Instead, the conversation and decision-making process often hinges on sensationalised fluff.
The cult of personality leads to blind loyalty, hence our politicians aren't required to engage on real issues; the issues that in the long run really make a difference to the lives of the rakyat. These "bread and butter issues" get sidelined almost completely by shallow, and ultimately insignificant, rubbish. Politics becomes an emotional battleground pitting the rakyat against each other in an endless "us versus them" scenario.
Our politicians are very quick to play the "sensitive issue" card whenever it suits them. Whenever anything that has a vague link to race, religion, or the currently popular "public order" or "national security" which, let's face it, could be almost anything is brought up for discussion, it's a "sensitive issue".
Freedom of religion. Detention without trial. Free and fair elections. The country still being under emergency law. Separation of powers. All "sensitive issues" discussion prohibited, rakyat please be quiet, and be grateful for our peaceful multi-racial existence.
These politicians are also very quick to "spin" any remotely significant issue or event one way or the other.
Recent times have also shown that even in the face of photo and video evidence people are not shy of spinning things to such an extent that it becomes an obvious lie.
There is a lack of accountability, and politicians have somehow become larger than life that they believe, and act, as though they are immune from any repercussions for their actions. I believe this is linked to the way that politicians have been treated for so long they are revered like gods wherever they go, feted like VIPs, many with police outriders (sitting in traffic is, after all, for us commoners), and rarely have to step on anything other than a red carpet. This is quite ridiculous for people who are supposed to be representatives of the rakyat.
So, what can we, the rakyat, do about this?
Power to the people
Firstly, we should realise that it is time for the rakyat to reclaim our power. The power should always rest with the people, and not the politicians or government of the day. Our leaders should always be answerable to us.
In order to do this, we must equip ourselves with the necessary information and knowledge to keep our leaders accountable. They must know that they are being watched, and that we know the right questions to ask.
If you happen to meet your MP or ADUN, ask them about issues don't spend the entire conversation telling them how much you love them, posing for photos, and thanking them for turning up at your event. Constantly remind them of their duties to you, so that they know they have a job to do.
Read. Don't just read the mainstream media. Don't just read the alternative media. Read everything, or at least read a balance of both. Remember the dangers of being caught up in partisan politics. Whatever you read, hear or see digest it, and question it: Is it true? Is there an alternative way of looking at it? Don't just take everything as fact.
After some time of doing this, you will broaden your mind, and be able to come to your own conclusions. You will no longer be beholden to any particular media outlet to ram conclusions down your throat. And you will certainly be less susceptible to being a victim of spin, or lies. Knowledge is power, and it is an essential means towards reclaiming your power and your rights as a rakyat.
It is also important not to become apathetic, or fatigued by the constant noise from all these politicians. That is exactly what many of them want for the rakyat to remain ignorant and powerless, which would enable the politicians to continue to impose their will on us. Constantly engage on the issues that matter to you. Hopefully we will begin to see increased maturity in discourse the ability to agree to disagree which comes with moving away from the partisan politics mentioned earlier.
Whichever political party or politician you are more inclined to, you must realise that no one is ever right all the time. I've already mentioned the dangers of swallowing everything that is said by anyone as gospel truth. If Malaysia is to move on from here, we the rakyat must accept that our various issues and needs are more important than our political affiliations. Come to your own independent conclusions. Read up, stand up, speak up. Reclaim the country for the rakyat.

This is very STRANGE.
First, some quarters are NOT pleased with the Court's decision & they requested for a set-up of RCI. Now that the RCI had been set-up & had its' ANSWER, these quarters are still NOT happy & CAN'T accept the outcome.
You might as well have these UNHAPPY QUARTERS to plead their own outcome, right???
Macam 'small kid' only. A kid cried & cried wanting a LOLLIPOP which the kid couldn't get hold off. Next when the mother finally gave the kid a LOLLIPOP, the kid cried for CHOCOLATES.
No wonder they said MALAYSIANS are NUTS!!!
Dear Marcus,
Thank God, for the gift of discernment, that at your young age (I take it, you are young?), you are already a Solomon in the making. Unlike some upstart who on one hand, profess to be an idealist that hopes to see his country progress as one, without being divided by ethnicity, race or religion; and on the other already practising partisan politicis, you write as one who informs and educates his fellow Malaysians out of concern and love.
I am comforted by the fact that though, by and large our society is slowly evolving into one of consumers, there are the likes of you, who would remain faithful to those human and gospel values such as liberty, justice, solidarity and a faithful and unselfish dedication for the good of all. I do hope you and your fellow courageous, "activists" lawyers will continue to educate our fellow Malaysians on how to discern – the ability to exercise one's mental faculty to perceive, understand, judge and distinguish. May God bless you all.
Thank you for comments; they are greatly appreciated!
we need to hear more friendly voices from the other side (i.e. the ignorant voters in the kampung areas). no need to keep on hammering the messages in the urban areas. waste of scarce resources….
The ruling Umno led regime do not want the Malaysians to be literate enough to be able to read, stand and speak up for your right.
Like all the dictators all around the Middle East and the African nations their only interest is to top up theirs and their cronies' foreign bank accounts. Even though for some years now the country, with so much of natural resources, is running a deficit and soon will go bankrupt. Where are all these generated revenues gone ? For sure it is not for the development of the country, they have to borrow money for all the developments that have gone on and are going on.
When their neighbor, Singapore with almost nothing, I repeat nothing, and has to depend on Malaysia almost on every thing even their daily consumption of water just to survival has hundred of billions in reserve now.
When will the Malaysians in particular the Malays who have virtually kept the ruling Umno led government in power for all these years wake up? Don't be satisfied with the crumbs they are offering you and the pittance they bribe you with each time when an election comes around. Wake up and think for yourself even though this deceitful and corrupted Umno led regime is purposely not educating you well enough to be able to read, think and speak up. But you still should be able to think for yourself and also your children's future are ! So make sure you cast your vote for a credible and trustful government and stop believing the deceitful and corrupted Umno led government, they had their chances for 53 years, enough is enough !

Berg has a son name Rain from his wife Lost and his son was raised in Makedonia in Heaven 's Kingdom as Lord Lightning Child.
i. Gagan – Gagan is Dragon tribes, they love to be in dragon's form and they are not friendly but they are very justice being, they have clean pure heart
ii. Gagantic – they have the scaled skin of snakes and half of their body of Human, they prefer makeup than changing into a dragon, they are mischievous being

God Berg met Deity Lost through him when Zebed asked help from God Berg the Dragon to free his son before his son died. Berg falls in love with Zebed and since Zebed has no freedom nor power to come out of the body of Lost he married Deity Lost instead. Zebed and Deity Lost are one. Zebed comes out only when Deity Lost needs him.

Daniel García Andújar (1966,Almoradi, Spain) is a central figure in the Spanish internet art scene. Since the late 80s he has been starting up internet projects, he is a founding member of the irational.org web collective, and developed Technologies To The People® (TTTP), a non-profit organization that provides people who lack the means with access to new technologies. These collectives hack and appropriate material from contemporary culture with the aim of revealing the often problematic politics or absurd logic of the internet. With open source and collective methods of production, they undermine the notion of material or intellectual property, or the newly acquired power of digital technology.
In a next phase, Andújar looks for ways to take these issues from their virtual server environments and translate them to posters, slideshows, sculptures, publications or interventions in public space. For his solo show at KIOSK, titled Plus ultra, he will bring several stories together in one of these multi-media installations. One topic he focuses on is a bit of shared history: Emperor Charles V, born in Ghent in 1500 and crowned King of Spain at age sixteen. It was Charles V who gave Spain its motto Plus ultra (Latin for 'further beyond'). Andújar follows the emperor's lead to historical moments of public display of power in Ghent, to frame these from his own perspective.
With the support of the Spanish Embassy in Belgium.

I don't know where I would be without online courses.
We've come a long way from the traditional night school. Want to learn a new skill or pick up a new hobby? You can bet that there's an online course out there – and it probably won't cost you an arm and a leg.
While it is also possible to simply do the research and teach yourself, a lot of people like enrolling in a flexible, online course because it gives them a sense of structure.
For those in the tech and digital marketing fields, learning is a major part of the job. New technologies and software are popping up all the time.
Below is a list of online course providers which I have found the most useful – and hopefully you will too. If you have any further suggestions, feel free to email me.
Online Courses – General
|The number of courses available on Udemy is immense. That's partially because pretty much anyone who considers themselves an expert can design a course and sell it on this platform. While I would be dubious about some of the courses sold here, its not all bad. The platform is particularly useful if you just want a short course to refresh yourself on a subject or learn a new skill quickly.
|For digital nomads or remote workers interested in picking up a new skill, Coursera is a pretty handy option. A lot of the courses themselves are actually free to do. It's usually the certificate you pay for. So, if you're really only interested in learning a new skill then this could be a good budget option.
|Udacity is an online learning platform that works directly with corporate partners. In other words, they want to help supply big companies with industry fodder (you). A lot of their courses are focused on programming, tech and digital marketing. While not all the courses are free, they are relatively affordable and many people have gotten jobs and changed careers by taking courses on this platform.
|The concept behind Skillshare is in the name: sharing your skills with others. This platform is more about fostering a community and helping one another fill in the gaps in terms of skills they want to learn. Not all the courses are free, but there are a few you can do without paying a cent.
|Lynda.com's main medium of instruction is video, which is my preferred method of learning (especially when it comes to programming…). Now owned by LinkedIn, Lynda is one of the best places to upskill professionally. For newcomers and first-timers, there is a free trial available before you have to pay for anything.
Online Courses – Coding, Programming & Tech
|Codecademy focuses on developing IT and tech skills. You can learn to code in pretty much any language on this platform. One drawback, I find, is that it isn't great for coding beginners. However, if you're a seasoned developer looking to brush up on a new language, this site could prove to be very valuable.
Online Courses – Digital Marketing
|Google Digital Garage
|If you want to break into the world of digital marketing then the Google Digital Garage is a good place to start. What's more – it is completely free. And you get official Google certification at the end which is apparently quite valuable these days.
How are online courses structured?
How long is a piece of string?
The majority of courses on the Internet are run through online course providers like Udemy and Udacity. These providers have an extensive catalogue that you can look through and decide. Some providers are uniform in their course structure while others leave it up to the specific instructor.
Additionally, not all of these courses are paid. In fact, there are quite a few free ones out there which can help you excel in your career.
When it comes to pacing there are also plenty of options to choose from. You can choose crash courses which are done in a couple of weeks or the more popular, flexi-time options that work around your schedule.
Types of online courses
Online courses come in many shapes and sizes. You can do full degrees online, but for many working people this just isn't practical. Sometimes we just need to learn an extra set of new skills in order to tackle a new project, or even get a new job. Perhaps you want a promotion or are interested in started your own online business. All of these are valid reasons to top-up your education. Whether they are free or paid, they are still worth it.
So, what form do a lot of these courses take? Well, it depends on the individual instructor but generally…
- Free online courses such as those offered by Google are probably some of the most popular. Not just because they're free but also because they're pretty comprehensive. Plenty of bloggers (who are naturally experts in their field) are also offer free courses.
- Online education can also take the form of an e-book. Expert bloggers may publish and distribute these for free. However, usually you'll have to pay (ebooks usually don't cost that much, so they're definitely worth the investment!).
- Video instruction courses such as those offered at Udemy are also an excellent option. They're interactive: you can literally see and hear the person talking. They'll also provide you with exercises and some of them provide written feedback from your tutor.
- Live webinars and seminars are offered by some experts. They're no different to a standard lecture you may get at university or at a conference. The difference is that you're simply attending online.

Life imitates art in the new play, Act One, based on the early years of playwright and director Moss Hart. The show is written and directed by James Lapine and based on Hart's autobiography of the same name. In the latter part of the production the audience observes Moss Hart's collaboration with George S. Kaufman on what would eventually become his first major Broadway success. We are lurkers as the two writers spend over a year getting the play, Once in a Lifetime, just right. Act One of their 1930 creation is fine, but Acts Two and Three, we learn, are labored. Fortunately, for theater lovers, the two solved the dilemma and their co-writing effort became not only a big hit, but the first of many noteworthy writing partnerships. Unfortunately, (which may be too strong a word) the play, Act One, hasn't solved its Act Two trouble, leaving the audience with a less then gratifying theatrical experience by the final curtain. Now don't get me wrong I enjoyed the show, playing at Lincoln Center. It was just a letdown after an interesting and engaging beginning.
Act One does have a lot to offer, besides a generous slice of theater history. There are two captivating acting performances and an impressive set piece. Normally, when the scenic design is one of the highlights of a production there's not much else the play has to offer, but the three-story, circular set piece of Act One is quite impressive in addition to the show's other merits. All the scenes take place on the outside of the revolving structure—Moss Hart's squalid childhood apartment, the multi-level living quarters of George S. Kaufman, offices, stages. The set allows for quick scene changes, sometimes leaving little time for the actors to hit their mark.
All the actors are marvelous in their roles, including Santino Fontana as the young Moss Hart, full of energy and unbridled eagerness. But it is Tony Shalhoub, playing multiple characters--the middle-aged Moss Hart, narrating parts of the show; Hart's gruff, hot-headed father; and the idiosyncratic George S. Kaufman—that brings life to the play. His narrator is more matter-of-fact, but he infuses the other roles with distinctive personalities to make them believable and full-rounded. Andrea Martin, always a joy to see on stage, has a number of roles with the most prominent being Hart's Aunt Kate. A proud and dignified woman of little means, she lives in the tiny apartment with the Hart family (and their boarders). Hart's aunt had a profound influence on him as a youngster. Martin imbues her with just the right amount of aristocratic haughtiness.
Playwright/Director James Lapine has condensed Moss Hart's biography to its essential core. He is much more successful setting up a dramatic narrative in the first half of the play. This probably has more to do with the variety of different characters and scenes then in Act Two when the focus is on the collaborative process between Hart and Kaufman. This part of the production is just not as compelling, which causes our interest to wane. As Director, Lapine does a fine job guiding the actors and incorporating the somewhat imposing set within the show, especially within the first half of the play. His issue, which ends up unsolvable, is livening up the problematic Act Two.
Act One, some great performances for a less then fulfilling show.

Dating For Dummies - Part 1 Series
Contributed by Gregg Barbour on Feb 8, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: What is it with Dating? Why should teens date or not date? Look at the popular opinion, and the not so popular way in these sermons on Dating.
Ahhh, Dating. Dating makes everybody feel like a dummy at some point or another. You see that girl or guy of your dreams, and you instantly get sweaty palms (or pits), your face turns red, and you got those butterflies in your stomach. You often may not know what to say, or you try and put your best foot forward, and then you say something totally stupid. It's especially difficult if your meeting someone for the first time. Adam and Eve were the first ever blind date! I bet the first thing he said was "WHOA, MAN!" And thus, she was named, woman. After that, he probably didn't know what to say, but since they were both naked, he didn't really have to think of something to say so she'd take her shirt off.
Things have changed quite a bit since then, and over the years, dating has transformed into this who's who, popularity contest among classmates, friends, co-workers, and celebrities. All of them vying to find and date the right person, and some of them not wanting to get caught, while others flaunt their newly found soul mate like it's the latest PRADA bag. As if to say, "ooh, look what I've got. Isn't it HOT!"
I guess I wonder sometimes, what is dating like for the average teenager? What's the whole point of dating? What are some of your thoughts—what is the point of dating? (allow some discussion)
I had some of those same thoughts when I was a teenager. I used to think that you had to be dating someone to be cool. That's why I got a girlfriend—yeah, I wanted to make out with her, too. But, in reality, I wanted to be considered cool. Tonight, we're starting a new series on Dating for Dummies. About 10 years ago, I picked up this little book (and I do mean little) because I was having a little trouble finding and dating the right kind of girl. I actually thought it might have tips and tricks to help me in my pursuits. I guess I might have went through a phase like this guy (show napoleon dynamite clip).
If you are remotely like this in some small way, you're probably wondering who would date you. Like, what kind of skills should you try to acquire before you ask the girl of your dreams out. Like she's gonna say no if you don't know how to wield a pair of nunchucks.
So, if you're ready, I'm going to give you some free advice—my own little dating for dummies that I've found from learning things the hard way, from reading a few dating books, and looking into what God's plan is.
Dating is NOT just a game we play to have fun. Dating is fun, and meant to be enjoyable, but if you're not dating for some of the right reasons, then pain is in your future. Can you date and avoid pain? Probably not. But, I think the main purpose for dating is to find the kind of person you want to marry. Or better yet, to figure out God's plan for who He wants you to be with.
Here's what we do know about God's plan: God designed man and woman at the beginning of time to be together, to procreate, and to fulfill each other's needs and desires. He also designed you to have a companion. Genesis 2:18 says, "and God said, 'it is not good for man to be alone, I will make a companion who will help him.'" So, God doesn't want you to be alone.
Well, that's all nice and good, but where do I find the secret formula to figure out who God wants me to be with? I mean, is it hiding in the pages of this incredibly looooong book?!??!? I think if you're asking these types of questions, then you might be on the right track. If we know that God is the intelligent designer of this universe and he created you and me, and He doesn't want us to be alone, then it's only right to think that he's got some ideas about how to NOT be alone, right?
A problem that most people start off with in dating is just that. They try to do dating, and find the right person based on looks, and personality, and hobbies, and likes and dislikes, but they do all that without considering what God thinks, or what God has to say. If you're doing that, you're doing it all WRONG!!!
Dating for Dummies tip # 1: Start with an Intelligent Designer. Think about this for a minute. For many of you, prom is coming up, right? Well, let's say I was put in charge of making your prom dress. I know, it probably wouldn't even cross your mind to have me make it, but bear with me. You come to me and you have these amazing drawings or pictures of your ideal dress for prom. (show pic) But what I end up creating after gathering my duct tape and frizzy material might look something like this (ugly dress pic), but a LOT worse. But, if you take that idea for a dress to someone like Dolce and Gabbana or Versace or some incredibly talented designer, then you're gonna have the best looking dress in the place. It's kind of like this, when you decide, or your parents decide, you are ready to start dating, you automatically think you know how to find a good mate, and you start dating all these losers and you get your heart broken time after time, because you didn't take your ideas to the right designer. If God has your best interests in mind, which HE does. Then you've got to include him in the dating process.

Just before leaving for my holiday to Barcelona a friend remarked that I was the only person he knew who was crazy enough to be excited about spending 2 weeks abroad training in an indoor wall. I prefer to think of it as psyched!
The purpose of the trip was to catch up with my coach at Freebloc climbing wall and spend 2 weeks training under his watchful eye. I'd sneak in a couple of days cragging at the weekend too, but that wasn't really the main event.
How to describe Freebloc? It's like a British wall on acid. A torture chamber ready to break your willpower and your body before you've even begun. The easiest angled wall (affectionately known as the slab) is 20 degrees overhanging, and everything else ranges from 30 through to a full-on roof. There are more holds per square metre than you ever would have thought possible, and every corner is filled with weights, ropes, elastic bands and other training implements designed to put the fear of god into you. The noise is also incredible - the Spanish like to shout when they climb, and the air is often filled with the sounds of people giving it every last ounce of effort. I absolutely love it!
Freebloc's proprietor and coach-extraordinaire is one Salva Serrano. This guy seriously knows his stuff. I've been training with him for 3 years now and his knowledge of sports science, climbing training methodology and technique is phenomenal. He sends me weekly training plans when I am back in the UK, but training with him in Freebloc is infinitely better. Having him put me through my paces pushes me far beyond where I thought my limits were, and having one-on-one help, advice and encouragement when you are fighting to stay on by move 30 of a 60 move circuit is invaluable. Every session I go away buzzing with psyche and a head full of useful things I have learnt.
And so on to this trip. Week one was fairly relaxed by Freebloc standards but still left me feeling quite tired. My training is periodised with each cycle including an easy recovery week, and this happened to fall on week one of the trip. On Monday we had a bouldering session, and Tuesday some long circuit work (and by long I mean LONG - 85 moves of energy sapping goodness that left me short of breath and wanting pass out mid-way through). The rest of the week was mine to do as I pleased, but chiefly rest up and chill out before a weekend on rock.
On Friday Stu arrived for the weekend and we hot-footed it out to Cornudella de Montsant. Grand plans to leg it over to Riglos and do the classic multi-pitch route Fiesta de Los Biceps went by the wayside as storms were forecast for most of northern Spain. Instead we had to make do with climbing between the showers at Margalef, Siurana and Masriudoms respectively. Grand plans to crush everything in sight also went by the wayside as I quickly realised I was chronically unfit. This year I really wanted to get the boulder problem Ben's Roof done at Raven Tor so we had favoured strength training over "pilas" or fitness and it was becoming painfully apparent what this meant. Three moves up a route and I would be boxed out of my tree, unable to recover on big jugs. In a slightly disheartened state I messaged Salva on Saturday night - "pilas fatal :-(" don't worry, came the reply, we are working on that next week!
And so on to the semana dura, or hard week. This is always my favourite week of the training cycle. It leaves you exhausted at the weekend and barely able to climb, but with an eye firmly on the prize of long term improvement it always seems worth it. So pilas, or fitness, was the name of the game. Day one was a gruelling session of laps on an 8b, 7b+ and 6c respectively topped off with some lock-off work on the fingerboard at the end. Essentially, climbing 'til your eyes bleed and then climbing some more. This kind of training is so much easier when it's done with someone else to shout encouragement, point out holds and occasionally take a small amount of weight to help you through a move.
Day two was campus Wednesday, my favourite day of the week. Salva had told me to take a rest day if I needed it and I had some concerns about how my skin would hold up in the June heat, but psyche got the better of me and I couldn't stay home. Big mistake! Huge! Warming up I felt good, but when I tried to pull on to the campus board I could not move. At all. Campus Wednesday Epic fail! I struggled to the end of the post-campus power endurance training, wobbled my way home from the tube station and collapsed in a heap on the bed. 16 hours to recover and counting.
Day three, Thursday, dawned with tired muscles, a drained body and a shed load of psyche. Such is the joy of training at Freebloc. Over breakfast I discovered that my beloved stam veins, so useful for warding off the impending pump and which had all but disappeared over winter, had come back with a vengeance. I couldn't wait to get down the wall to show them off to Salva. The day's session involved quite a mixed bag of bouldering, 2 finger pocket strength work and circuits. Nearly all the session went well except the 2 finger pocket work - one look at Salva's aghast face said it all: this girl is weak! One reason that I come out to visit Freebloc several times a year is to give Salva feedback on how the training is going, my strengths and weaknesses, what needs work and what doesn't. After failing spectacularl
y to move on from the warm-up holds to the main event, we were both left with very little doubt as to where we should be focusing next. By the end of the session I was exhausted, skinless, sad to be leaving and psyched out of my tiny mind, my head buzzing with new things to work on and ways to improve. There aren't many holidays out there that can give you that!
Salva is, in my opinion, about the best coach out there and Freebloc is an amazing wall. I feel lucky to be still be training here even though I no longer live in Barcelona. Anyone who is out in Catalunya and looking for a place to get strong should look no further - Freebloc is where it's at.
Mil gracias Salva y hasta la próxima vez![gallery link="file" orderby="title"]

Oak Mountain is my favorite 50k - very low key, great well-stocked aid stations, beautiful views, fun & challenging trails, incredible volunteers, runnable sections, technical sections and a waterfall. To start, someone yells "hey everyone, we're going to start soon. If you think you're going to drop, let me know now. Ok, go!" The finish is a white, chalked line at a pavilion with grilled food, frozen fruit salad, and brownies. Most people hang out eating, drinking, chatting, and cheering all the finishers on. It's a great community!!
After the RD yelled "go," a guy took off like it was a track meet, not a 50k - most of us took the paved loop easy just chatting. Seemed to work for him though as he killed it and won. The climbing on the yellow trail begins right away. This year, in addition to my usual race priorities, I had 2 plans I thought would help: 1) wear a trucker hat (worked for the woman who won Mount Mitchell Challenge, granted she's also placed in the top 10 at Western States, but hey, couldn't hurt) and 2) stay with local legend and my running idol on the early climbs and hopefully as long as possible. I figured even if I went harder than I thought I should, I didn't want to lose time early. That plan worked perfectly at first - except that 4 other women seemed to have the same plan. So 5 of us were within seconds of each other for 4 or 5 miles. We took turns leap frogging each other and then finally I was in the lead. For maybe 30 seconds. Then I got passed on an uphill by a woman and I couldn't match her pace. By the next turn, she was out of sight. Huh. Well, it's a long race, alot can happen in the next 27 miles or so.
The next section is the blue trail - very runnable along a ridge and leads to the waterfall. I love this section of the course! I got to run with my friend Kerry - he was taking a bit of a risk as I was the one who lead us off course at Pine Mountain a few months earlier. We were running well. And then I got passed by another woman and couldn't match her pace. By the time we reached the rocky decent to the waterfall, I started to take a wrong turn. And got passed again. As much as I wanted to win, it was more important to enjoy the day and keep running smart. I caught up to the woman who had just passed me - she is ridiculously fast, but was doing her first race after a long time off. She's super-nice and talented, and it was great to see her back on the trails - I wished I could have kept up with her! She could set a CR at Oak Mountain, but unfortunately, took a wrong turn later in the day and DNFd. I hated that for her, but she still had a great time and was happy to be running again.
Love Peavine Falls and the AS there - a few more miles was halfway...and then my brand new shoes with fewer than 20 miles on them started to fall apart. Argh!! Stopped to fix them, which let me catch my breath - and the local legend caught up to me as well so we got to run more together. Time seemed to slow, but I remembered that I would see Holly at the next AS! I did my best to pick up the pace and was happy to see her around 20 miles. The encouraging words and ice were awesome! I actually love the next section - it's a long jeep road climb that's tough either on a bike or running / walking. By this time, temps were near 70 and it was sunny. The climb has multiple water crossings - I stopped to splash in each one to keep myself cool. I think it helped!!
Made it to Peavine falls AS for the second time - it's almost all downhill from there. One of the volunteers was keeping track of runners and pace - his kind words gave me a boost as I left. Only single digits left from here! The last section of the race is the infamous "blood rock" trail from mountain biking. I can't decide whether this trail is more fun to ride or run! Closer to the finish, is a series of switch backs - super-fun for riding, but I was ready to be done at this point (partly because it was 70 and partly because the course is actually closer to 33 miles). And then I saw the girl who passed me back at mile 5 - I felt bad pushing to catch her with only 2 miles left. Finally, last switch back, then the bridge and white chalk line. Done! Just in time as it was getting HOT.
Old school finish - manual timing and finishers and times are recorded on a wipe board. I was a few minutes slower than last year, but finished second again. I felt like I ran well, no low spots and pushed it some, but I still have alot to learn about racing. How do get faster? Can I get faster? Definitely, the strongest and smartest woman won the race - congrats to her!! I'll keep running and visualizing have a good race - I might finish first one of these days, but as long as I cross the finish line with a smile and enjoy playing in the woods, I'll be happy.

Quote(sometimes it even causes the audio to freeze)I got trouble with the audio too.But this was because a harddisk got on autosleep mode, and the system tried to access it.This cause the audio to freeze/loop for a few seconds until the system could access the files from that harddisk.But i don't think that belong to these lagspikes.
(sometimes it even causes the audio to freeze)
So basically if code is unoptimized in general, in ways that are not obvious, it'll produce GC hitches. But it won't produce these hitches when it runs; it'll produce them some time later. I think there's definitely some of this going on with these mods. So part of the solution will be simply having mod authors optimize their code to stop allocating and releasing so many objects.
I think there is a silver bullet for that issue - disable garbage collector and trigger it to run before autosave. We always have a lag before autosaving, it will change nothing if it will be 1 sec more but make gameplay much more smooth.
For me, the base game exhibits the same behavior, though. The lag isn't as prominent or as often but it´s there and when calling the GC with RuntimeGC you can reproduce the lag. That being said, it´s a lot harder to notice in vanilla as it only happens every 50-60secs. I played with B18 and the lag didn't appear, no matter the number of mods I used. The issue is now in the game since around 1.0 and I´ve been looking for a fix since then, as the game is unenjoyable for me. There has to be a difference within these two versions that cause the lag.
This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but during my own development in Unity, I came across someone mentioning that strings could cause stuttering and tiny lagspikes due to garbage collection, and that the way around it was to use stringbuilder instead of strings. It just stuck with me since it describes the problem that a lot of people are having in Rimworld at late game. Could this be relevant?

I've mentioned it a time or two in the past. You've caught glimpses of it when I shared our bookshelf project with you.
However, I've never shared the story of our dogtrot house.
First of all, a little history …
If you're not familiar with dogtrot architecture, it's a style of house with a wide central breezeway that connects two enclosed halves of a house, all under one common roof.
If the house was situated correctly, the breezeway design provided for good airflow through the center of the house, a good thing in the days before electricity and air conditioning were invented.
During hot summer days so well known in the South, it was often the coolest part of the house.
The typical dogtrot floor plan is very basic.
Rooms to the left side and right side of the house open up to the central breezeway.
As was typical way back when, one half of the house was used for bedrooms. The other side of the house was used for the dining and living areas … and maybe the kitchen.
Oftentimes, the kitchen was not in the main house, but located a short distance from the main house.
It achieved two goals.
It kept excess heat from woodburning stoves away from the main house (which remember, you were trying to keep cool!). Two, if there was an accident and the kitchen caught fire (which was common back then), you reduced the likelihood that the entire house would go up in flames.
Our house is located in a very historical area of East Texas, out in the country just 7 miles from the tiny town of Alto, Texas (population 1,224).
We discovered our place when Kendal, our real estate agent, emailed us a listing of a foreclosure.
An old dogtrot, originally built in 1853, sitting on 10 acres.
This is our house when we first saw it.
Notice how the ground is so parched and brown?
That was back in the drought of 2011. That's the same year of the huge fire at Bastrop State Park.
Drought conditions are not normally the case around here.
(In fact, high average rainfall is one of the things that drove us to buying a place in East Texas in the first place.)
We average about 48 inches of rain a year, so the landscape is usually green and lush.
However, the drought scared us as much as anyone, and we installed a rain cistern to capture and use as rainwater.
Our home is located a few hundred yards or so off a farm-to-market road.
My husband and I loved the overall architecture of our 2,500 square foot house. It reminded us of an old schoolhouse.
(Ironically, we had grown so frustrated trying to find an old house in the country that we were beginning to look at land also. We had begun talking about building a new, old 50′ x 50′ house. Lo and behold, there it was in front of us.)
We didn't know it was a dogtrot until we saw the breezeway:
One of the former owners completely enclosed the front and back of the breezeway, but it's a dogtrot all the same.
We loved the wood plank walls and ceilings and hardwood floors.
The narrow staircase leads to very large unfinished attic space, plenty large enough for two bedrooms and a bath if we ever decide to do that.
I hope you liked seeing more of my home!
I read and appreciate every comment. Thank you for letting me know what you think!

Whether you are a frequent traveler or you only travel once in a while, having the right piece of luggage will make your trips a whole lot easier. With the right luggage, you can keep the items that you are taking with you on your travels neat and organized. Finding the right piece of luggage can be challenging, though. There are so many options to choose from that it can be difficult to determine what type of luggage will best suit your needs. From overnight bags to large, wheeled suitcases, you have a lot to choose from. To help you on your quest for finding the best luggage for your specific needs, we have put together this handy buyer's guide for you. This guide highlights the different types of luggage, the factors to consider when choosing luggage, the different features that luggage can offer and the best luggage brands that are on the market. With the information in this buyer's guide, you will be able to find the best luggage for your specific needs.
The Different Types of Luggage
In order to find the best luggage for your specific needs, the first thing you need to do is understand the different types of luggage that are available. Once you understand the different types, you will be able to choose the right type of luggage for your particular needs. Luggage can be differentiated by the purpose that it is intended to serve. There are four main types of luggage, which include:
- Carry-on luggage
- Garment bags
- Duffel bags
- Backpacks
Carry-On Luggage
Carry-on luggage, as the name suggests, is designed to carry objects with you onto a plane. This luggage is generally small and is intended to carry those items that you need to have nearby within close reach while you are traveling. If you are going to be using your carry-on luggage on a plane, do make sure that you are aware that airlines have different guidelines regarding the size of the carry-on luggage you can take with you. Generally, 22 inches by 14 inches by 9 inches is the size that is most acceptable. Carry-on luggage can also be used to travel on a plane, or in a car.
Garment Bags
If you plan on taking a dress, a suit or any other article of clothing that you don't want to fold and risk getting wrinkled and creased while you are traveling, a garment bag is the ideal piece of luggage for you. With a garment bag, you can keep your clothing on a hanger and keep it hung up while you are traveling. The bag slips over the clothing, protecting it from being damaged while you are traveling. This prevents your clothing from getting wrinkled while you are traveling.
Duffel Bags
Duffle bags are soft-sided bags that are large and offer a lot of space. They are great for packing large, bulky items. They are also great if you plan on leaving with less items, but plan on returning with more, because they provide plenty of space. They can also be easily folded down and stored away.
Backpacks, as the name suggests, are packs that you can carry on your back. They feature straps, which can be adjusted so that you can achieve the proper fit. Backpacks are ideal if you are going to be doing a lot of sightseeing, or if you want to have a bag that is easy to carry around while you are traveling.
Luggage can further be differentiated by the material that it is made out of. There are three main types of materials that are used for luggage, which includes:
- Leather
- Polycarbonate
- Nylon
Leather Luggage
Leather is durable, attractive and offers a timeless look. There are several different types of leather that are used to make luggage, but the most common types of leather include full-grain, top-grin and Napa.
- Full-grain leather is made out of the outer portion of an animal's hide. It is not sanded or buffed, which allows it to retain its strength and durability. Full-grain leather is considered the highest quality leather, so it tends to be the most expensive; however, its durability makes it a good investment.
- Top-grain leather is leather that has been sanded. Top-grain leather is a little less durable than full-grin leather, but it is more stain resistant than full-grain leather, and it is also less expensive.
- Napa leather is leather that has gone through a tanning process, which makes it very soft, yet still durable. Napa leather also takes dye well, so if you want colored leather luggage, this is a good choice.
This material is used to make hard sided luggage. Polycarbonate provides exceptional protection and is extremely durable, yet is lightweight and affordable.
Nylon is used to make soft sided luggage, such as duffel bags and backpacks. Nylon is lightweight, yet durable, and it can be easily folded up. Nylon luggage conforms to the contents that are stored inside of it, and it also conforms to the shape of storage bins, making it a wise choice for carry-on luggage.
Factors to Consider When Shopping for Luggage
There are several factors that you should take into consideration when you are shopping for luggage. By taking these factors into consideration, you will be able to choose the best luggage for your specific needs. Some of the factors that are the most important to take into consideration when choosing your luggage include the type of traveling you will be doing and the price, among other things. To learn more about the factors that we think are the most important when shopping for luggage, please keep on reading.
Your intended use
What will you be packing in your luggage, and where will you be traveling to? Your intended use of the luggage is the most important factor to consider when choosing the luggage that will best suit your needs. If you are going to be packing items that you do not want to get wrinkled, such as suits or dresses, a garment bag will best suit your needs. If you are going to be using the luggage to go sightseeing, a backpack is a wise choice.
What is your style?
You should also consider your personal style when you are shopping for luggage. There are so many different styles of luggage, and you will be able to find a style that suits your personal taste. You can find luggage that features patterns or has a plain design, and you can find luggage in a variety of colors.
The size of the luggage
You should also consider the size of the luggage that you will need. To determine what size you will need, you should consider what items you will be taking with you when you travel, and how many items you will be taking with you. If you are buying a carry-on, make sure that you adhere to the regulations of the airline that you will be taking this type of luggage on.
The durability
Durability is another important factor to take into consideration. The more durable the luggage is, the longer it will last you and the more protected your items will be. Though luggage that is more durable will have a higher price tag, the higher price is worth the investment, as the luggage will last you longer.
A hard shell or a soft shell?
You should also consider whether you want hard shell or soft shell luggage. If you are only planning on packing clothing, a lightweight duffel bag may be the easiest to use; however, if you will be packing delicate items that could break, hard shell luggage will be a better option, as it will better protect those breakable items.
The number of compartments
You should also consider the amount of compartments the luggage offers. More compartments will make it easier to keep your items organized while you are traveling. Compartments can be located on both the interior and the exterior of the luggage.
The cost
You should also consider the cost of the luggage. The cost of luggage can vary widely. Generally, larger pieces that are constructed of leather and offer more features is more expensive than smaller, more basic features. Make sure you know how much you want to spend before you start shopping so you can avoid spending more money than you are comfortable with.
Features Luggage can Offer
There are a number of features that luggage can offer. These features are intended to make the luggage easier to use, and to keep your items more organized and better protected. As mentioned above, the more features a piece of luggage offers, the more expensive it will be. It is important to understand the different types of features that are available so you can determine whether you want or need them, and so you can determine if spending the extra money will be worth your while.
Here is a look at some of the most common features that luggage can offer.
To make your luggage as easy to transport as possible, look for pieces that feature wheels. With wheels, you can place the luggage on the ground and pull it behind you or push it in front of you, which means that you won't have to lug it around and strain yourself. Luggage that offers wheels will have handles that you can use to easily guide it while you pull or push it.
Another handy feature that luggage can come with is locks. A lock will allow you to secure the zippers on your suitcase, which will allow you to secure the items that you are packing in your luggage. Locks can either be operated by a key or by a code.
The most advance luggage can come equipped with alarms. These alarms will allow you to keep better tabs on your luggage, and will ensure your items are well protected while you are traveling.
Built In Scales
Some luggage also features built in scales. This feature will allow you to easily weigh your luggage, which will allow you to ensure that you don't over pack and make your bag too heavy, requiring you to pay an extra charge to the airline.
Battery Packs
Some luggage comes equipped with battery backs that are approved by the TSA. A battery back will allow you to charge your devices, like your smartphone, your tablet and any other electronic devices that you may be traveling with right from your suitcase! Talk about convenient!
Companion Apps
The most advanced luggage comes equipped with companion apps. With this feature, you can connect your luggage to WiFi and find out all of the pertinent information you need while you are traveling, such as your flight info, your gate and your departure time, among other things.
A Warranty
The best luggage comes with a warranty. Should your luggage be damaged during the span of the warranty, you will be able to have it repaired or replaced, or you may even be able to have your money refunded.
The Best Luggage Brands
There are several manufacturers that produce luggage, which can make it difficult to determine which brands are the best. We have looked at countless user reviews and have tested out several types of luggage, and our assessment has determined that the following luggage brands are the best of the best.
American Tourister
This company has been making luggage for decades. They use a variety of materials and make all different types of luggage. Their luggage also offers a wide range of features and is very well constructed.
Rockland produces durable luggage that is constructed out of the highest quality materials. They make various types of luggage in a variety of styles, and they boast a wide range of available features.

The cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has already captured the attention for their onscreen drama this season, and now Danielle Staub is up to her ears in real-life drama as well: A judge in New Jersey has just ordered an injunction banning the release of any sex tapes or pictures of her and ex-boyfriend Stephen Zalewski, at least until a hearing next month.
Danielle already faced her past when stories of her controversial past came up on the show and the other housewives argued over who had spread the gossip.
Danielle says her ex is trying to get back at her for breaking up with him, and that she had no knowledge of being videotaped. She filed a lawsuit against him that alleges invasion of privacy, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
