Aired 1/20 and 1/21- 2018: RE-RUN- Destroy numbness, downsizing riders, auto motorcycle, Nebraska's helmet flop
This Wild Ride Radio talks about a new phenomenon in the motorcycle industry… many riders are downsizing their rides and going smaller. There are numerous reasons for this but hear how and why this may impact the industry in a way many weren't planning on. We talk about a couple easy and helpful ways to reduce numbness or tingling when riding. Believe it or not, that numbness can cause permanent damage if not treated properly; take a listen for this helpful guide on keeping tingling at a distance, on a long ride. Also, we talk about recent events in Nebraska concerning helmets and helmet use. Hear why it may impact other states and riders rights around the country. Finally, we talk about some brand new technology that incorporates artificial intelligence into two wheels… the need for a rider on a bike may soon be gone.

text: only 3 takers for this. Looks like its not that popular a topic. I am sure there are more then vendors on this list. ----- Original Message ----- From: Greenarrow 1 To: Michael Sutton ; WASC Forum ; anurag.agarwal at yahoo.com Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 5:13 PM Subject: Re: [WEB SECURITY] Should software vendors come clean about application vulnerabilities? Actually this is like jumping through hoops and hurdles. Who is, what if, and a lot of other questions fall in to play. Was the software, program adequately tested before release? What benchmarks were used? There is a tendency today of getting a product to market asap regardless of flaws as long as they are not critical. The developer tells management the product is not secured enough and the manager tells the developer get it out as we are losing time and money. I have seen this in many software and even with some operating systems (not to mention names). Secure coding is also in the picture and I can tell you this there is a high lack of secure coding going on today. Being a computer forensics professional I can relate to the amount of security flaws in generated programs today and until IT understands that security is part of the picture we will all be doomed to flawed programs. I often wonder just how much greed plays a role in this as in today's market it is the money that counts and not the safe guarding of a program or hardware. The user trusts the maker to produce a secured program and is not suppose to be the computer nerd to see flaws. I have even seen major corporations install programs without thoroughly testing them because they trust the maker so just do not blame the end user (which most would not even recognize a flaw) by saying it is their fault as stated in a previous email. Finally colleges are including full security within their computer courses for management. This was lacking for many years and it was shown by the lack of management to support good security within their programs. With education, seminars, and conferences now pushing security we can look forward to better development of both software and hardware if by chance it does penetrate the old time antics of some management personae.

Michael you made an interesting point. However, the end user still doesnt know what to expect. Application security is still evolving and lack of benchmarking criterias are not helping much either. If someone is purchasing a product X from a company Y, they wont even know what kind of questions to ask from the security perspective. And even if they ask "are there any known security vulnerabilities?", we all what the reply would be. As for small company purchasing a single license vs a large corporation buying multiple licenses...in my personal experience, small companies do more due diligence as compared to large organizations, who are mainly concerned with the compliance. so who is going to make the vendors pay more attention towards security? anurag ----- Original Message ---- From: Michael Sutton <msutton at spidynamics.com> To: WASC Forum <websecurity at webappsec.org> Cc: Anurag Agarwal <anurag.agarwal at yahoo.com> Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 9:34:42 AM Subject: RE: [WEB SECURITY] Should software vendors come clean about application vulnerabilities? Anurag, IMO, the end user must ultimately be responsible for their own security. I'm not in general an advocate of legislation to protect the consumer. That said, end user's generally fail to recognize the power that they have in influencing vendor actions. As a purchaser of any vendor's products you have every right to insist that the vendor adhere to certain standards before you are comfortable purchasing their software. Now if you're purchasing a single license it is unlikely that the vendor would be willing to change their business practices for you. If on the other hand, you're a large corporation/government institution purchasing an enterprise license, that same vendor will be willing to jump through many hoops for you. In the past, I have encountered great frustration attempting to report security vulnerabilities to vendors unwilling to listen only to later sit in on a conference call with an influential client asking that same vendor about those same vulnerabilities and was witness to a very different response. End users need to exert their power and keep software vendors honest. How much testing is enough? There's no scientific answer to that question, only a business answer – when the cost to find further vulnerabilities exceeds the value that can be derived from finding them. No vendor of vulnerability assessment products would (should) ever be foolish enough to suggest that any and all vulnerabilities could be found using their product. However, being able to state that your products have been tested by product X which uncovered no vulnerabilities is one important level of assurance. Once again, the level of assurance required must be determined by the end user. Vendors cannot be expected to open the corporate kimono for every potential buyer to conduct an independent audit of their products, but fortunately, numerous classes of standardized audit exist for various situations…too many perhaps. Do you need a SAS 70, PCI, common criteria, BS7799, etc. audit/certification for your product? That depends on what your potential clients are (or should be) demanding. End users have great and often unrecognized power to shape the industry. I encourage them to take advantage of it.

Should software vendor come clean about application vulnerabilities? I am not sure if this topic has been discussed before in this forum. I would like to start a debate on this topic if people in the forum are OK with it. Here are my questions: 1. The end user is the victim here as he doesnt know what he is getting into. He is using a product and has a false sense of security as the vendor claims his software has no vulnerability. 2. The vendor may or may not have the knowledge of any vulnerabilities in his application BUT has he done his due diligence? 3. Assuming the vendor has run an automated tool (appscan, websinepct) to scan the application but is that enough? Will the tools find all the vulnerabilities? 4. Should the vendor outsource vulnerability assessment to a third party (for example whitehat, etc)? 5. What would constitute a vendor has done his due diligence? Are there any standards he can follow? I would really like for this forum to debate on this topic and who knows maybe that would give an insight to the future of application security. thanks anurag -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have the right to honk at people, don't do stupid things. I have the right to complain about the waitress and not tip her, she did a lousy job. I have a right to let the football official know he is incompetent, dude is not fit to ref a little league football game. It's my right! I have the right to tell my co-worker her decisions are idiotic, they are. I have the right to be curt with that old guy, life slows down for nobody pal. I have the right to slam that guy's views on Facebook, don't won't to be criticized, don't post that garbage about government – matter of fact, just don't post anything.
I have the right to get mad when I was the first at the bus stop, and four people cut in front of us and packed the bus to the extent that Danielle, Gideon, and I couldn't get on it. We had to wait another 20 minutes for the next bus, ghhh the humanity .
I DID have these rights to express my opinions, unfiltered if need be. Then I made the decision to deny myself, pick up my cross daily, and follow Jesus. The funny thing is, that if anybody professes to be a Christian, follow Jesus, have a relationship with Him, be saved, be a new creation, or to be Reborn, then he or she is stating to have made the same decision as me (at least by Jesus' expectations in Luke 9:23).
The Lord is teaching me more lessons in Portugal then I care to admit. The glaring lesson is that my identity with Christ causes me to forfeit many of my self-entitlement claims. When Paul mentions our 'large cloud of witnesses,' the guy is not kidding. This is what I have observed. I become frustrated and react negatively at someone for trying to take advantage of some 'right,' and my reaction affects a relationship. It can be the relationship with that particular person, or someone who observes the interaction. Either way, my 'right' puts the focus on me and not furthering God's Kingdom.
Let me give an example I see on FB. Let's get into your wheelhouses . I know people have a right to express their opinions on political issues. The problem I observe is that many professing Christians become contradictions of Jesus' mission when they indulge in their rights. Sometimes we get so upset, that we express disgust at another side's idiocy; and we forget that the main goal as Christians is to win people to Christ, not to decimate the other's argument on foreign policy. Some Christians write some of the meanest posts. Why? Because we feel entitled to our opinion. We have always been told we have the right… Other times, Christians become so passionate in their responses on issues like gay rights or abortion, that we don't respond in love and gentleness. I have no problem with a person speaking truth. Matter of fact, I appreciate it. Jesus was full of truth as well, but also grace (John 1:14). So , when posting on FB, how do we justify looking past these words, "The Lord's slave must not quarrel, but must be gentle to everyone, able to teach,and patient, instructing his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance leading them to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Timothy 2:24-25)?
Let me conclude with a struggle in my life with regards to forgoing rights. I am very passionate when I play football. Sometimes, the referees in Portugal and I disagree about a call. Sometimes, they are extremely incorrect in their understanding of the rules. Sometimes, I feel the necessity to express my opinion on such errors (for the record, the dudes here have improved tremendously in just a year's time. I really appreciate their growth and desire to get better). It took a long time, and I still have the occasional moment, but I am learning to abandon my right to be upset with the refs. It's amazing how much my interaction with the refs and the other teams has improved since I resolved to deny myself on this issue. LOL, now I know I will be tested on this issue next game .
CHALLENGE: Where is it that you need to focus more on denying your 'rights' so that you have opportunities to further God's Kingdom?
- See Danielle's blogs for our prayer needs. The Lord is starting to open doors that were previously closed. I am fired up to see what happens next, bwhahahahaha .

That is the question. Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and spinnings of outrageous acrylic...
Oh wait. Shakespeare again. Well, sort of. (I've gotta quit that. Sorry.)
I've been channeling Hamlet a bit today. I guess I've hit an existential yarn person moment.
Recently I read that New Zealanders spin up possum yarn; evidently they have a lot of those little suckers out in the wild.
Me being me, I had, after reading, this picture of a possum, struggling back to its compatriots, saying, "Oy, it was taniwha, bro, I'm telling you. There were these bright eyes, and then a stinging pain, and next thing I know, I'm back here nuddy, ay! And when I checked my watch? Bro, two hours had passed that I don't remember."
All very Gary Larsonesque, I know.
My next thought was to ring up my NZ friend and ask her about the yarn. I mean, if those poor possums were going to suffer post traumatic stress disorder, the least I could do would be to knit a little memorial to their happier, more innocent days, although why anyone would want to use a possum's fur for yarn was beyond me.
It turns out that I had been picturing this:
which, as most any crafter would tell you, does not look like it spins up yarn that will have the yarnistas ohhing and ahhing anytime soon. I mean, what would Clara Parkes say?
But that is the American Opossum. We may shorten the name to possum, but it's nothing like the New Zealand Possum. A bit of web trolling took me to the Supreme Merino Possum website, where I found (and use with permission) this:
and Pam, the helpful lady who answered my email when I asked if I could use their picture, also sent me this:
taken up close and personal in her friend's back yard.
Clearly, there is a distinct difference in the quality of the fur. New Zealand possum reminds me of the fur of my beloved former pet chinchilla, Trillian. American possums just look like walking Brillo pads.
While reading through the Supreme Merino Possum website, I also discovered how the fur is harvested. Suffice to say that little dude won't be heading back to his compatriots to tell of his otherworldly experience.
The possum isn't killed simply for profit, though. Apparently the possum is an invasive species, introduced from Australia, and has a population of 70 million. Imagine 70 million deer (or, God help us, 70 million moose) packed into an area slightly smaller than the state of Wyoming.
So the possum, while adorable in photos, is wrecking havoc on New Zealand's local flora and bird populations, as there is no predator to keep the possum numbers in check. The possums eat the vegetation that the birds need and, in some cases, the eggs and the chicks of the birds as well. The Kiwi Conservation Club website, while geared toward kids, does a good job of giving examples of just how much damage 70 million possums can do.
This means man is having to become the predator. And we all know what we're like when we go predator.
I have to admit that normally I prefer my yarn to just be sheared or plucked off an animal that walks off feeling both more comfortable and a little indignant that someone interrupted its grazing. However, NZers probably won't turn to sustainably harvesting the wool (i.e. turn the little guys and gals into farm animals) until there is enough demand for the wool to encourage trapping, which would reduce their numbers to the point that it might justify permitting people to maintain them in a farm and hand-pluck environment. And I question whether they would be able to do that. Can possums be corralled effectively? They're seriously good climbers. They don't look like they'd be too keen on the plucking, either.
Thus, I run smack into the age old environmental argument; cull the overpopulated species that we introduced in the first place to save threatened species, or take a hands off, let nature take its course approach?
People seem less willing to do the latter when the overpopulated species is a non-native, be it plant or animal; ask any Mainer or Minnesotan to tell you about milfoil, an invasive aquatic plant which is killing local aquatic plants and fishes in our lakes. I've seen firsthand the damage that milfoil does (not to mention that kayaking through milfoil is like paddling through watery salad). However, people don't seem to face as much of a moral dilemma if said invasive species is a plant. No one protests at salad bars, after all, despite the fact that plants are clearly living entities, just as we are. And Things 1, 3 and 4 excepted, there are no meatarians out there that I know of.
The possums, moreover, will be trapped whether I buy the yarn or not. And as I am an amalgamation many pragmatic races, part of me feels that if the possum is going to be killed, it seems wasteful to not make use of a fur with properties that seem to make it almost as desirable as quivit; like quivit, it is hand plucked and both tout the heat retaining qualities of the fibers.
Still, like Hamlet, I waiver. To purchase, or not to purchase.
I could understand my scruples if I were a vegetarian, but although I prefer non-meat meals, I definitely do eat meat. And, farmer's daughter that I am, I do so with no real qualms, although I'm hoping to get to the point where I order my meat from someone who raises it naturally as my father did rather than factory-farm style. So why, when I obviously know an animal will be killed to be eaten, do I have more misgivings about an animal that would be killed to be worn, especially when I know they'll be trapped anyway, and that even trapping their numbers down to manageability won't threaten them with extinction?
It's unfortunate that one of man's goofs (Let's introduce this species to a land where its never been seen! It'll be great!) means that animals that did nothing other than live and do their normal animal thing of eating are having to die. But overpopulation causes its own problems. By the time the food supply is eradicated to the point that the possum population crashes, New Zealand will have lost many amazing species to oblivion.
Let Hamlet waffle. I'm saving up my pennies for some yarn. Maybe I'll help save other amazing creatures while I'm at it.

Hey guys and gals! As I'm sure many of you experienced, this month just flew by, and by flew by I mean, went by soooo fast I'm pretty sure I thought we still had two weeks left in the month last Saturday when I was checking the calendar. I mean seriously folks, I'm not really feeling this whole 28-day in a month thing, but I digress
Anyways, as always this month (as are many) was filled with some exciting things in the Vazquez household. Starting with a FABULOUS Super Bowl party attended by our family and friends! I made a football cake of course, which didn't quite get baked all the way through but no one was complaining. Ha! We had two crock pots on full blast during the game, and plenty of spirits and treats to appease the crowd! Speaking of appeasing… I hope you all got to experience Beyonce at halftime! AHHHMAZING! She even blew a circuit (don't let the Superdome tell you any differently). Too bad her show in Nashville sold out in less than 20 minutes. L
So the baking didn't stop at the Super Bowl party! Nope, I also was given my great grandmother's recipe of homemade Molasses cookies (thanks Grandmother Gill), and once Valentine's Day rolled around, I made close to 4 dozen heart-shaped and XOXO-shaped cookies to pass out to all my favorite Valentine's! So much fun and so yummy! I felt like a 10 year old getting ready for VDay at school. All I needed was a shoebox to decorate!
In between this I took a trip with the hubs and in-laws to one of my favorite "big cities", Chicago. Such a fun place and so easy to get to and navigate around! And the food is so yummy! Did someone say deep dish? I did!
The next stop on my adventure was one of a more serious note, when I was the driver of a one-car wreck. As you can see I did indeed flip the car, from what I was told, three times on a rural road in Williamson County. I was coming back from a 10 mile run in Murfreesboro with Angela and Meredith, and got distracted and lost control of the car. Needless to say I was shaken up, but walked away unharmed! Not a scratch or bruise on me, and no one else was involved, THANK GOD! I was definitely being watched and taken care of by the man upstairs, because things could have been a lot worse. Thank goodness for seatbelts and the safety ratings on Honda Accords. Luckily, my fantastic hubby started searching for a replacement car and we were able to buy another Accord, a year newer with less miles, and wheels (not hubcaps), along with some other feature upgrades. Again, I am incredibly grateful and feel very lucky to have not been hurt! (Pretty sure the bike rack on top of my car stopped the roof from caving in, so everyone go buy a bike rack-your welcome REI!)
So once this all went down obviously I was a little sore for a few days, but had the Disney Princess Half Marathon to run the following Sunday in Orlando! I was able to run and complete the race and had a BLAST with 26K runners (99% women) and their tu-tu's and costumes. So much fun and if you are looking for a girls' weekend and race combo, Disney puts on a heck of a show! (Celebrity sighting: Sean Aston from "Rudy" was running the race and in our corral…SO COOL! And yes we started chanting RUDY, RUDY, RUDY cause that's what you do.)
So as you can see it's been a pretty busy month week in and week out. I am grateful to be blessed to have not been hurt and to have an opportunity to go to so many fun places and experience so many great and new things! We also celebrated some birthdays with my mom and sister in-law this month, and missed Poppy on his birthday. One thing I will say is that when I think about how much I miss him and get teary-eyed about it, I also think about how lucky I was to have had him for 26 years, and that I know he watches over me. He was and is a great man, whom I hope to one day be like! (ok, I gotta quit writing or I'll start crying…LOL)
Ta-Ta for now and XOXO!
p.s. Adam has taken up woodworking, and has become quite the pro. I'll be posting about that in the weeks to come. Gotta get more photos and let him finish his latest project! J

For months now you have heard about a new feature that will be included in the WhatsApp application . Apparently, they have realized that if they do not continue to innovate in this competitive world, people will eventually move to other instant messaging applications with more features. The WhatsApp team wants to get an advantage over their competitors and so they want to include the function of canceling messages in a conversation .
What is the difference between canceling and deleting?
It sounds pretty similar, but there is a very big difference between these two functions . The delete messages function was previously available in the application and this erased the messages on our phone, but did not delete them from the phones that had received the message .
On the other hand, the function void messages gives us the ability to delete the messages we have sent by mistake and we do not want anyone else to see . Of course, if the recipient of the message has already seen it before it is deleted, nothing can be done.
Once our message is canceled, it will be replaced by the text: "Message Voided" , this will mean the person who receives the message, we have written something that we are not proud of and we do not want anyone else to see it.
We do not know exactly when we will have this feature available on our phones, but seeing all the rumors, it should be around the corner waiting to be released . And even more considering that competitors such as Telegram have been incorporating this function for months.
Remember that until this function arrives, there is no way to delete a message from everywhere. We must keep in mind that currently the "Delete message" function only removes it from our chat , any other person who has received the message, can read it.

Christa B. Allen: 'Zooey' Mag Feature
Christa B. Allen perfects her pout in this new shot from Zooey magazine.
The 20-year-old actress chatted with the mag about Revenge, BFF Ashley Madekwe and more. Check it:
On acting: "There is no ultimate goal; I'm not after any awards or specific roles. Truth is, there are many roles that really get me going. To set a target would mean that once I reach it, I go back home. I want to be doing what I do until I can't do it anymore!"
On her Halloween plans with Ashley: "I can't give away her costume, but I'll say she kept it in the Disney family! Mine will be something with feathers, I think. I have such a thing for feathers at the moment."
On her experience on Revenge: "What a treat! Madeleine and Henry are amazing to look up to and learn from- with such vast experience and wisdom. Emily is disciplined. Ashley, Gabe, Nick and Josh are super fun, and Connor has such a great mind. They're all fantastic in their own way and respectable actors- I mean that, truly."

Travel costs are significantly higher here than in most Central American countries, but cheaper than in the USA or Europe. And if you're arriving from inexpensive Central American nations, such as Nicaragua, get ready to bust that wallet wide open.
Prices in Costa Rica are frequently listed in US dollars, especially at top hotels and restaurants, where you can expect to pay international prices. Most types of tours are charged in US dollars. In fact, US dollars are widely accepted, but the standard unit of currency is still the colon.
We warn you about Traveler's Checks! They are not wide accepted in Costa Rica, not even the banks. If not possible, always in dollars no other currency will be accepted
Counterfeiting is common in Central American Countries. For this reason, we recommend that you bring smaller bills with you for day to day needs. Many small businesses will not accept US Bills over $20 in value. In addition, torn, worn, or defaced bills are commonly refused in Costa Rica.
Consult your bank before traveling to Costa Rica to avoid potential "stop payments" on credit and ATM cards that may result when your bank sees unexpected transactions originating from a foreign country.
Raise your minimum daily withdrawal limit. In Costa Rica, cash is king - make sure that you have access to the money you need through the ATMs and banks here.
Most often there is a 13% processing fee or sales tax applied when using your Major Credit Cards in Costa Rica. You may also be subject to additional fees from your bank or card carrier back in the states. In many instances in Costa Rica you can avoid the additional sales tax by paying in cash.
ATMs - There are numerous Banks and ATMs in Costa Rica where you can easily pull both US Dollars and Costa Rican Colones out as needed. ATMs close at 10:00pm, so please plan accordingly. The average transaction fee from American Banks for the use of a Costa Rican ATM is between 1-5%. Please check with your bank for more information.
If posible do not use the money changers at the Airport. Huge fees apply, and since US Dollars are widely accepted here, it is not necessary. Furthermore, you can pull Costa Rican Colones out of the ATMs whenever you need them.
Regarding Tipping: It is customary to tip drivers and service industry workers 15-20% of the services rendered. Tipping is, of course, voluntary and should be based on the service you receive. In the case of restaurants, a standard 10% service fee is commonly added to the bill. If this is the case, it will be pointed out on the menu or clearly marked on a sign in the restaurant window or at the register. If you are uncertain, ask your server or host/hostess for more details. Adding an additional 10% is common when receiving good service.
Costa Rican currency is called the Colon. Often when you pay in USD for an item or service, you will be given Colones in change. The "Rule of 2" is a great way to understand the money here.

Check out which companies are making headlines before the bell on Wednesday:
Deere —The heavy equipment maker reported quarterly profit of $2.76 per share, four cents higher than estimates, with revenues also beating consensus. The company cited positive conditions in the global farm economy as well as good execution, yet did give a more cautious outlook for the second half of the year.
Agilent Technologies — The testing equipment maker reported fiscal second quarter profits of $0.77 per share, ten cents above estimates. However, the company's current quarter outlook of $0.60 -$0.64 per share falls below consensus estimates of $0.73. Agilent is also unveiling a restructuring plan that will include a two percent reduction in its global workforce.

Little Carter's Stylish Outfit of the Day
Baby Boy Clothes Are Stylish and Fun Too
Attention..attention..attention, stylish baby boy fashion in the building. One of the biggest complaints I hear from mom's when they are pregnant or shopping for boys is "girl's clothes are so much cuter".
To some degree that is true, but only because we are looking at it from a woman's perspective. We see the cute skirts, dresses, bows and bright colors and can't help but imagine how adorable a mini version of "us" would look.
Little boy's clothing can be just as much fun once we find it. Which brings me to the other issue-Another complaint is how limited the selection of clothing is for boys vs girls. This is absolutely true. The department for baby boy's is about half the size and the accessories are non-existent. With boys you do have to get a little more creative and not be afraid to step out and play with patterns.
I couldn't wait for my little guy

From publisher blurb:
"Quiet down you two. We aren't supposed to be this close to the exclusion zone. If an ETM patrol finds us we lose a month's worth of salvage."
Dodger was right of course. The Martian government and Eckard Tactical Management took security around the Cydonia Ruins very seriously. All manner of alien artifacts had been discovered along the edge of the exclusion zone ranging from what most believed were extraterrestrial chew toys to massive egg-shaped devices thought to be long dead fusion power plants. While Dodger and his crew had so far only found shards and pieces, a single intact artifact could make them all very rich...
Gift of the Makers is an adventure for Traveller. Set in the in our own solar system, both on Mars and Venus, it involves a hunt for two enigmatic alien boxes, dug out of the ruins of the Cydonian city on Mars. Of course these boxes are valuable, and lots of other interested parties want them too!
This is a TL 9 Traveller adventure for Zozer Games' Orbital setting, it would be helpful to have that PDF, but it's certainly not necessary and only the Traveller Main Book is required. This adventure as written is intended to be an introduction and prequel to the Orbital setting and takes place three years before the official date of that setting (2100 AD). However, this needn't be the case and with minor modifications the Gift of the Makers could easily be integrated into an ongoing Orbital campaign, the Third Imperium setting or even 2300AD.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Does taking the morning after pill result in passing blood clots?"
I took the morning after pill a few days ago and now I am experiencing a very heavy period. Is this normal?
The bleeding that you are experiencing is most likely the effect of the emergency contraception (morning after pill) you took. There are many different forms of emergency contraception pills, but they all basically work in the same way. The pills contain a hormone which reduces the amount of progesterone which is secreted your ovaries. Progesterone is the hormone that is needed to maintain the uterine lining and allows a fertilized egg to implant. Without a uterine lining, you cannot get pregnant. The emergency contraception is designed to reduce the amount of progesterone secreted which causes the uterine lining to shed. Thus, the pill causes you to have an early period. Passing blood should be a process you experience and is actually a sign that the emergency contraception worked. Any time you decide to take a morning after pill, you should schedule an appointment to see your OBGYN. The two of you can discuss more practical methods to avoid pregnancy. For example, it may not be a bad idea for you to consider going on some form of hormonal contraception which will allow you to prevent pregnancy without having to use the morning after pill. Keep in mind that you should still use condoms every time you have sex to prevent STDs.

Symptomsof chrematophobia: Your fear of money can result in the following symptoms: breathlessness, light-headedness, excessive sweating, queasiness, dry mouth, shuddering, heart palpitations.Other symptoms are: inability to speak or think clearly, a fear of losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or a full blown anxiety attack.
Your fear of money can result in the following symptoms: breathlessness, light-headedness, excessive sweating, queasiness, dry mouth, shuddering, heart palpitations.
Other symptoms are: inability to speak or think clearly, a fear of losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or a full blown anxiety attack.
You are not the only one to suffer from chrematophobia. Most sufferers are surprised to learn that they are far from alone in this surprisingly common, although often unspoken, phobia.
Chrematophobia is an intense fear of something that poses no actualdanger. While adults with fear of money realize that these fears are irrational,they often find that facing, or even thinking about facing, the feared situation brings on a panic attack or severe anxiety.
Imagine what your life will be like when you know that you are not "defective". When you can be confident and at ease in situations where you used to feel your fear. And when you can talk about your former fear of money symptoms as though you are describing a movie where the character is someone else, not you.
An Amazing Discovery
Several years ago, a mental coach specializing in phobias, made an amazing discovery.
He kept up-to-date with all the leading therapies. And no matter what therapy modality he tried, the cure rate of phobias like chrematophobia was less than 40%. Oh sure, patients made progress. But it was merely incremental.
Then he made an amazing discovery and his ability to cure chrematophobia soared to over 80%.
What was the discovery? Here it is, and it is called Neuro Linguistic Programming
A really nice feature of NLP is that in many cases self-help is sufficient.
Does It Work for Everyone?
In a word, no it doesn't. It's not perfect. It only works about 85% of the time. But that is a essential shift from about 4% rate for some methods.
A reason it may not work is that frankly some people are afraid to give up their chrematophobia. Their identity is wrapped up in it. They have had their fear of money so long that they don't know who they would be without it.
Fortunately, the same NLP techniques can be used to eliminate this fear first, should it arise.
Finally, some people just love to talk about their fear of money. That's one reason why some people may spend years in talk therapy. They love to have someone who cares about them listen to their problems.
NLP isn't about talk. It's about results. Fast, effective, lasting results.
SoNLP is not perfect. And it's not for everyone, perhaps only 85% or so of the population. Is it for you? Only you can decide. But it is worth a try. With the guarantees offered, the only thing you have to lose is your chrematophobia.
Don't suffer needlessly. Don't wait any longer to get rid of this needless suffering from your life.
Tired of Tiptoeing Around Your Fears? 15 Minutes From Now, You Could Be Phobia-Free. Yes, Cured! Whatever your phobia, regardless of how long you have suffered from it, despite the dreadful life limitations you have endured because of your fear, your phobia can be cured.

text: Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) can offer tremendous insight into protein interactions inside cells. However, it typically does not provide quantitative information about the protein complex, telling the researcher only that interactions have occurred. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy offers a possible alternative, but quantitative interpretation with the technique is difficult.In the Feb. 27 issue of PNAS, investigators with the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, reported a method based on fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy that enabled them to measure quantitatively the stoichiometry of protein complexes in living cells. Fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy is based on fluctuations in fluorescence intensity that result from proteins entering or leaving an observation volume of less than 1 fl. Researchers have reported a method based on fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy that provides quantitative measurements of the stoichiometry of protein complexes in living cells. The dual-channel setup shown here splits the fluorescence intensity according to color into different channels and records the intensity ratio, which is used to determine the protein coexpression ratio. A second measurement of the same sample,performed with the single-channel setup, helps to determine the brightness.The researchers had argued previously that brightness analysis of such fluctuations holds promise for quantification of protein interactions. In the present study, they demonstrated that they could determine the stoichiometry of protein complexes by performing such analysis.Two proteinsStudies using GFP as a marker have confirmed that the stoichiometry of protein complexes is contained within the brightness. Because the scientists monitored only a single fluorescent color, however, the brightness analysis addressed homocomplex formation only — interactions of two of the same protein. Quantitative analysis of heterocomplexes requires two fluorescent colors. The University of Minnesota researchers developed and reported a method that allows them to identify the stoichiometry of two different proteins — labeled with cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) and yellow fluorescent protein (YFP), respectively — within a protein complex.The investigators have been working for several years to develop spectroscopy techniques that can quantify protein interactions in living cells. Currently available techniques, such as FRET, either cannot quantify the interactions or acquire quantitative information only indirectly. The brightness analysis reported in the PNAS paper is much more robust and offers a means of determining the composition of homo- and heterocomplexes under stoichiometric binding conditions. The technique works also for protein complexes that show no FRET signal.To explain the principle underlying the technique, researcher Joachim D. Müller offered an analogy: If we think of a fluorescent protein as a lightbulb, then brightness serves as a measure of how many lightbulbs are in a protein complex. As an example, consider a tetrameric protein complex A3B where three proteins A labeled with CFP and one protein B labeled with YFP come together. The trick to determining the composition of the protein complex is to measure its brightness while selectively turning the CFP and YFP lightbulbs on and off by changing the laser wavelength. In this table, brightness analysis is illustrated for a tetrameric protein complex A3B, where protein A is labeled with CFP, and protein B carries YFP. Both CFP and YFP are coexcited at 905 nm; as a result, all four fluorescent proteins light up, producing a relative brightness four times that of a single protein. If the excitation wavelength is switched to 820 nm, only CFP is excited, producing a relative brightness of 3. Only CFP is excited when the wavelength is switched to 960 nm, leading to a relative brightness of only 1."By coexciting CFP and YFP, the four lightbulbs of the tetramer light up," he explained. "If you change the excitation wavelength to where only CFP excites, only three lightbulbs light up." The changes in the measured brightness while the CFP and YFP lightbulbs are turned on and off encode the stoichiometry of the protein complex.The experimental setup was based on a modified microscope made by Carl Zeiss of Thornwood, N.Y., outfitted with a 63×, 1.4-NA plan apochromat oil-immersion objective. The beam of a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser made by Spectra-Physics of Mountain View, Calif., pumped by an intracavity-doubled Nd:YVO4 laser provided excitation.The researchers located and positioned cells using the epifluorescence mode of the microscope. After selecting a cell, they turned on the Ti:sapphire laser for fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy measurements. First, they determined the fluorescence intensity ratio of the emitted fluorescence for excitation at 905 nm. They achieved this by splitting the fluorescence into two detection channels.The fluorescence intensities were then recorded by two avalanche photodiodes (APDs), made by PerkinElmer Optoelectronics of Vaudreuil, Quebec, Canada. The intensity ratio calculated from these measurements contains information about the coexpression ratio of the proteins labeled with CFP and YFP. This is a crucial measurement that is required for the correct interpretation of the subsequent brightness measurement. For this second measurement the scientists redirected the fluorescence emission to another microscope port, in which they recorded the fluorescence intensity with another avalanche photodiode for brightness analysis.They faced some challenges during the study. Under normal conditions, the brightness could be affected by the presence of FRET. In the current study, though, they were able to mitigate the possible impact of FRET between two different-color fluorophores. "We found conditions where energy transfer does not change the brightness," Müller said. "Basically, whatever you lose in brightness in protein A you gain in protein B."To test the technique, the investigators applied it to looking at nuclear receptor interactions and specifically at their binding to a coactivator. "To our surprise, we found that three nuclear receptors bind to the coactivator," Müller said. "If you look at the structure of the nuclear receptor coactivator, it actually contains three binding sites, but it was previously assumed that only two are used." He noted, though, that because they are a physics lab testing a new technique, the scientists looked at only truncated proteins. The findings must be followed up with a study of full-length proteins. Indeed, the researchers are beginning to look at such proteins. "We are starting to address the biological part of the question," Müller added. They also are working to refine the technique itself. Currently, determining the stoichiometry of a complex requires more than one measurement. The team hopes to resolve the composition of a complex directly using a more powerful analysis tool; this will require further research, Müller said.

Never have I felt so close to giving up the ghost. When people at the level of chief ministers start talking nonsense and the newspapers start printing such nonsense then it is time to throw in the towel.
Chief minister Sindh talking to a delegation from The National Defence University, Islamabad, was pleased to pontificate that, "Water distribution is a critical issue". Then he went on to expose his total ignorance of the subject.
"Already there is water shortage in the country and Kalabgah dam will destroy the economy of the country":
I ask him, if Mangla and Tarbela dams are destroying the economy of Pakistan why not stop storing water in these dams and stop generating power from these dams. Will we then not have floods for three months and draught for the remaining nine months. Will Punjab and Sindh then start producing more food grain. Will this put us in a position to export food grain or will we have to import even more than before. Where will water for the Rabi period come from if we don't store water during the Kharif period. Will we then be left with any reserve for any contingency, natural or man made. Will we then not be at the mercy of India. Will not the per capita, per annum availability of water nose dive to below the water-scarce level. Have China, USA, Turkey and India stopped adding to their thousands of dams because their economies are being 'destroyed'.
I wish some newspaper had the guts to ask these question from the chief minister who through his abject ignorance is bent upon destroying the economy of the country.
The he misquoted the Water Accord of 1991 by saying that the agreed figure of 10 million acre feet of water was not being released below Kotri barrage. He has not bothered to look up the Accord (www.wateraccord1991.com) which says - in the absence of an agreement it was decided to conduct further studies. A later foreign consultant's Study put the figure at less than half of what he is claiming.
He is clueless that even the 10 maf will not stop sea incursion though the year if all of it flows down during the three flood months. He needs to know that the agreed amount has to be stored in dams for distributing it over the twelve months for year round protection of the Indus delta. The delta needs more dams, not less dams.
Before complaining that Sindh is not getting the increased amount as per the Water Accord, he should ask himself, why was Punjab willing to decrease its share in all future dams to increase Sindh's share. If he can answer this question, I will stop writing on Kalabagh dam.

The Dodge Dart Could Get Pentastar V6 Power
The new Dodge Dart is a great car with a sharp, sporty exterior, a super high tech interior with tons of space for a compact sedan and drivetrains that help to make the Dart one of the most fuel friendly cars in the US market. Unfortunately, those drivetrains have failed to inspire many critics from both the media and the consumer market alike as the 2.0L engine is a bit on the soft side, the 1.4L turbo has been accused of being laggy (I don't agree with this point having driven a bunch of new Darts) and the 2.4L Tigershark mill has only been offered on the top of the line GT performance package. Dodge has announced that the 2.4L from the Dart GT will be the standard engine for all but the base Dart SE (which still comes with the 2.0L Tigershark) and the Dart Aero (which still comes with the 1.4L MultiAir turbo). Unfortunately, with only 184 horsepower and 171lb-ft of torque, the Dart is still criticized for being underpowered for the size of the car.
The good news to address this problem comes from the folks at Allpar who have spoken with unnamed sources within Chrysler who have stated that the company is playing around with fitting one of the Pentastar V6 engines into the future Dart. Should the company use the same 3.6L Pentastar that is offered in the larger Dodge Avenger, the Dart would easily be the most powerful model in the class with 283 horsepower but how would that impact fuel economy? Well, compared to the 2.4L Tigershark that powers the Dart GT, the 3.6L Pentastar could offer very similar fuel economy. If we look at the fact that the 3.6L V6 in the much larger Dodge Charger offers 19mpg on the highway and 31 on the highway, it is only slightly less efficient than the much less powerful 2.4L Tigershark that offers 23 and 33. The Charger is substantially larger and heavier than the Dart so if you were to strip the Charger down to the curb weight of the Dart, there is a very good chance that the Pentastar could offer even better fuel economy along with the added power.
We should point out that the Chrysler Group engineers are only toying with the idea of installing a Pentastar V6 in the Dodge Dart and having spoken with guys who work in the Chrysler engine lab, it is not unusual for the company to plug random engines into different vehicles just to see what would happen. Because of that, there is a chance that we might not ever see a V6 powered Dodge Dart but with the criticism over the Dart's lack of power and the great fuel economy of the Pentastar V6 line – a V6 powered Dart seems like a very real possibility in the near future.

Researchers May Have Just Found The Cure For Peanut Allergies
Soon everyone can enjoy the greatest food known to mankind.
The cure for peanut allergy might be here within the next several years.
A study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found a bacteria in the stomach thats causes the allergy, which if treated, could eradicate peanut butter allergies.
Scientists have found that clostridia, a type of bacteria, leaves some intestinal cells susceptible to adverse affects caused by food allergens. A press release released by the University of Chicago — where senior study author Cathryn Nagler, Bunning Food Allergy Professor, teaches — points to probiotic therapies as a potential remedy. A patent application was submitted by the researchers in February 2014.
Between 1997 and 2011, food allergy levels in children have spiked roughly 50 percent, with a correlation found between its rise and the use of antibiotics and antimicrobals.
"Environmental stimuli such as antibiotic overuse, high fat diets, caesarean birth, removal of common pathogens and even formula feeding have affected the microbiota with which we've co-evolved," Nagler said.
Although the study was conducted on mice, Nagler and the team are optimistic the results of these remedies will be similar in the human intestinal tract.
Peanut butter nirvana is just around the corner.

Content descriptions
|Summary, etc.:
Mysteriously summoned to Quantico to help re-create the face of a murdered, mutilated young woman, FBI forensic artist Special Agent Sydney Fitzpatrick knows immediately this is no ordinary crime. The hit-and-run death of the forensic anthropologist assisting her--a close friend--and Sydney's abrupt dismissal from the case by covert government investigators only strengthen her need for answers. Now her hunt for a killer is carrying her from Washington to Rome to the hidden chamber of a legendary tomb--on the trail of a fabled treasure of the Knights Templar . . . and a curse. For buried deep in the mysteries of the Freemasons and the Vatican's Holy See is a secret that could rock the world. Suddenly an ancient map is pointing Sydney toward something the Templars wished to hide away forever--something that could unleash an unstoppable tide of blood and devastation.

Sportscaster Erin Andrews' lawyer blames hotel in stalking case
Andrews' stayed at the Marriott Nashville when she was recorded through a peephole
Attorneys for sportscaster Erin Andrews said on Tuesday a Marriott hotel was negligent in enabling a guest to shoot a nude video of her that went viral on the Internet, while the Tennessee hotel put the blame entirely on the stalker.
Andrews, who has since moved from ESPN to Fox Sports, has sued the Marriott Nashville at Vanderbilt University for $75 million over the 2008 incident, in which a man in a neighboring room, Michael David Barrett, rigged a peep hole and shot the video of Andrews changing. Andrews, who also has appeared on the "Dancing With the Stars" television show, was staying at the hotel while covering a Vanderbilt football game.

Andrews originally had named Marriott International as a defendant but the judge dismissed the company from the case last month. Barrett and the Nashville hotel's owners and managers remain as defendants.
In opening statements in Davidson County Circuit Court on Tuesday, Andrews' attorney Randall Kinnard blamed former hotel employees for giving out Andrews' room number, which led to Barrett booking the room next door.
Marc Dedman, an attorney for the hotel, said the blame rests solely with Barrett, who pleaded guilty in 2009 to stalking Andrews and shooting the videos and was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Kinnard, pointing to the damage the video continues to cause Andrews, said: "This is not like a broken arm that heals," The Tennessean newspaper reported.
A former hotel employee testified that it was against hotel policy to give out room numbers.
The trial is expected to take about two weeks.

It's a good thing that I didn't have anything planned for dinner, because E came home starving, and me? Not so much. I don't think it's healthy to skip a meal, but I also don't like to force-feed myself, so I figured that a smoothie was a good compromise. All I can say is that I'm glad E was there for troubleshooting, because lord knows that I couldn't make a proper smoothie to save my life!
We blended up:
1 cup nonfat milk
1 cup 1% milk
3/4 cup nonfat yogurt
60 grams of True Protein milk protein isolate
5 grams of premium protein strawberry-banana flavoring powder
1 cup frozen berry blend
1 frozen banana
3 cups fresh spinach
a handful of ice
Let's just say that my smoothie isn't going to be winning a beauty contest anytime soon. This could be the very first time in my life that I've made something gray. You'd think it'd be impossible to make something so devoid of color, but it's actually much easier than you think. This made each of us about 24 oz. of smoothie, which is a whole lot to drink down. It was pretty good, until you got to the bitter liquefied spinach parts, of which my second cup seemed to be full of. For 40g of protein, though, I may be willing to suffer just a little.
A couple of hours later, I got a little munchie, and decided to do a rehash of the dip from lunch. I mixed up some salsa, nonfat yogurt, cilantro, shredded cheddar and Tabasco, warmed it in the microwave for 30 seconds, and Ta Da! I ate it with a few baby carrots, and a small handful of Garden of Eatin's Beet & Garlic tortilla chips.
Seriously, though – am I the only one who's smoothie-challenged? Do you guys have any pointers for me?

Stir fry veggies is tasty and healthy too.I made my healthier version by using very little extra virgin olive oil.It can be enhance by adding roasted peanuts or sesame seeds.Great as a side dish and colorful too.I didn't had yellow and red capsicum in my fridge otherwise it would have been great to look at.Regarding the issue of ajinomoto and whether to use it or not is still an issue.When I was in Master chef kitchen,Chef Kunal and Chef Ajay made us aware of it and also informed us that this particular chemical has never been allowed in Master chef Kitchen too!
Soft baby beans-10-12 Nos whole,both ends cut
Button Mushroom(Halved)-1/2 cup
Corn Kernels-1/4 Cup
Green Capsicum(long thin strips)-1/2 Cup
Carrot(long thin strips)-1/2 Cup
Crushed garlic-6-8 cloves
Oyster Sauce-1 Tbsp
Soy Sauce-1 Tbsp
Pepper Powder-1 Tsp
EVO Oil-1 Tbsp
Salt as per taste
1.Heat enough water in a big pan.Add little salt and add the whole beans and carrots together.
2.After a minute add the rest of the vegetables and let it simmer for another one minute.Switch off the gas and immediately strain the vegetables.Put cold water to reduce further cooking of vegetables.
3.Heat a wok.It should be sizzling hot.Add oil to it and coat it all over the pan.add the crushed garlic and followed by the veggies and slightly toss it.Add the sauces,salt and pepper powder and stir fry for another one minute.(I skiped ajinomoto due to its harmful effect.I never use it and don't keep it in my kitchen at all)
4.Remove from fire and serve HOT!!
1.Cut all the ingredients into even sized pieces.
2.Keep all the ingredients handy before you start.
3.The wok should be sizzling hot.Reduce the heat only while adding the garlic to stop it from burning.After adding the veggies,again turn on the gas to MAX.
4.You must stir continuously.A long handled wooden spoon is the best option.
5.In case if the veggies are not pre-boiled,then put the denser vegetables to the wok first followed by the lighter ones.Add the leafy vegetables like Pak Choi,spring onions and sprouts at last.

So following my berries' post here the natural sequel, PRESERVING !!!
I grew up in Rome and my mom didn't enjoy cooking so in my childhood I don't have memories of jam making or canning or anything like that. When I became a mother I took my own path and trying to leave off the land has become a dream of mine. Even if I'm in no way close to make this dream come true, in the last 10 years I have always had a vegetables garden and when picking and harvesting wild fruits, berries and nuts in the nature. So preserving and canning the goodies I was so kindly provided for has become a real priority and a lot of fun for me. I'm kinda of addicted :) ! I'm passing the knowledge to my doughters ( I'm not sure if they're enjoying it as much as I do eheheheh ) so we work alongside most of the time. Here some pictures of the current preserving season ( almost at its end here in the far north ).
Milla and Gaia cleaning and sorting the berries
Cooking the fruit according to what I am doing ( syrups or jams )
And then here we are straining the cooked fruit before adding sugar or pectine or whatever it is needed. As you see I always try to be rather thrifty, so only bought this straining cloth ( I couldn't find the right fabric at home ) but not the strainer and I invented my own method. It worked very well !
And here a part of my production !! Lovely isn't it ? Some of them will be sold, some will be stored and some will be lovely gifts.
I'm so so grateful for this earth hosting us little humans. We should treat her better because sure she is is providing us with a top quality service.
Please if you want to share you canning journey leave a link in the comment or if you might enjoy to know more about mine don't esitate to ask.

As some of you may know, the reason for these Blogs is to document my stupid idea to do the Tour Aotearoa, a 3,000k off road Brevet the length of New Zealand. So the next item to come up after the 400k Brevet was the Club trip to The Timbertrail. The "Club" is the Kerikeri Mountainbike Club which myself and 3 friends started about 7 years ago. It's still going strong and we have all bailed off the Trustees but still ride with it occasionally.
Graeme Brown is a serial organiser and he was the catalyst for the ride. So it ended up with 19 of us going and a 3 building farmstay to sleep in. Of course we had to get there first! After being picked up by Neil and Bob we set off, easy going to Auckland although the GPS turned itself off so was reset by Neil on the go. Our plan was to buy food and booze in Te Kuiti but as we got closer the numbers didn't stack up and upon checking, the GPS destination was similar but not the same. Hence we were heading for Taupo! A similar distance and even in the same general direction but the route was a little longer and more importantly, it didn't pass through anything resembling a town!
However the route past the lake was spectacular and I will go and ride it one day it was that good!! We stopped in Bennydale, a little(and I mean little) village with a cafe, which of course was shut. Bob, in good 'Murican fashion wouldn't take no for an answer and managed to get them to sell us pies etc to heat up later, lovely spot, nice people, great food! This lack of direction set the tone'for my weekend really. We arrived at the Twin Rivers Cottage to a roaring fire, a hearty welcome and even better, thank you Gary, beer!
Up early due to Neil's regularity, yes I'm jealous, and an entertaining wait for the shuttles. Once we got to the start we had the obligatory photos and I got the mighty Surly Straggler ready. It's not a Mountainbike but a modified Gravel bike, rigid frame, drop bars but with 29er tyres squeezed on and disc brakes. I set off, not knowing where to go, I headed up the road with a few others but quickly outdistanced them on the gravel. Came to a sign , left to Te Kuiti(no) or right on Link Rd, obviously it will link up with the Timbertrail (you know where this is going don't you). I went past a sign to the historic crawler tractor, good sign I'm on the right track and carried on. About 8 k in I'm starting to get a bit worried, no one behind me but lo, the steps up to the summit. Now I know Neil was going to walk up to the top so I'm on course, I can stop stressing. Lovely road, hard climbs and then an awesome descent, unfortunately it's now about 15k and I'm thinking I'm in the shit however the roads going to the left and the other road was on the left so I figure they will still link up and I'll just miss some of the trail. At about 20k I know I'm in the shit and I see a campervan, they have a map and I'm completely wrong, they suggest I backtrack a few hundred metres and head up a forestry road to Bog Swamp Hut which looks like it borders the trail, so off I go.
Quite a few kilometres later and after a lot of climbing a four wheel drive comes down the road. I wave it down and start with "it looks like I'm lost", apparently the bridge is out and the hunter hadn't any idea if you could get from the hut to the trail but kindly offers me a lift…back to the start! It's a long way by car and when we get there we have a good look for the start which is obvious when you find it but not, we agree, when looking for it or a sign. The mans a legend and with a handshake I'm off, 2 hours late, so I crank up the energy level and start climbing. Nice trail now I'm on it and the many people I pass are amazingly nice and move aside as quickly as they can. The Straggler is going well but I'm not expecting to see anyone until the end so I'm surprised to meet some of the boys at about 1:45 in and apparently I passed some others as they've mostly gone to the summit. Great to have company but the suspended bikes are marginally quicker downhill(funny that) so it's a challenge as is the suspension bridge. One of the downside to getting older is a growing fear of heights and having Matt being trampoline guy on it isn't helpful.
By this stage I'm in the groove and carry on at a steady pace, the bikes climbing well and I'm having fun so I leave everyone and push on. It's fun to catch up and have a little chat with various members of the group. Once we got to the end we decided to do Shirley's Shortcut so we backtracked a few k and took the Twin River Cottage track back which was muddier than the trail. Eventually coming out on a farm road, I left Peter and Shirley on the gravel downhill and had a blast, a little sketchy with the heavy seat bag but fun. More borrowed beers and a great feed followed by another shitty nights sleep made for a good night and an early morning.
Still no food as we finished too late to get to the supermarket 30k away but I had a pie left over from Friday…all good! Complete cock up by the shuttle guy, only picked up by Shirley but our lady took us to the start and then had to head back for the rest which was a bugger as we wouldn't be riding together. I tried to ride with the group but the Stragglers gears were too high to go slow, once we regrouped at the first swingbridge and took some photos I decided to press on and treat it as a practise session for the Tour Aotearoa. The bridges were white knuckle material, the views were awesome, had a great catch up with an old Wellington mate and rode with another dropbar bike for a while. Tough on the body, especially the downhills, a shorter(2:47 total 2:30 riding time) day but as the arse was still in recovery from the 400 I was happy to finish and wait at the finish chatting and relaxing for a couple of hours.
A quick blast to the shops as I called it my shout for beers, wine and nibbles set the scene for a great night. Everyone seemed to enjoy the trip and I enjoyed the crazy mix of people and especially confirming the Surly Straggler is up to the 3,000k Brevet next year, whether I am is another story? A nice trip home in the rain with Neil driving the whole way. Thanks to all for a great weekend!

I am heading back to Lake Tahoe tomorrow to do a bookstore book signing and a few appearances at the Squaw Valley Community of Writers.
The Community of Writers has a nice tradition: it invites alumni who have published books to come back and read. It's a way to showcase the work of people who have gone through the writing program and also show those still aspiring to publish that it can be done. The organizer of the conference, Brett Hall Jones, tries to make sure there is a good turnout by offering free food.
I will be talking at 1:15 pm Wednesday at the Olympic Village Inn along with others alums, including Tanya Egan Gibson, Jamie Lee Ford, Vicki Forman, and David Bajo.
On Thursday at 2 pm, I will be on a panel called Using Historical Record to Create Scene, with Jason Roberts, Glen David Gould, and Sandra Scofield. Rick Wartzman will moderate.
As soon as I finish that panel, I will rush to Bookshelf at the Boatworks, the last independent bookstore in Tahoe City. I will be doing a signing there at 4 pm.
I have been attending the Squaw Valley Community of Writers on and off, as a participant and as a visitor, since 2003. It's a wonderful workshop and a wonderful organization. I always feel that its philosophy is to connect accomplished writers with aspiring writers and to show that they are the same .... just at different places on a continuum. Before I published, I found this attitude encouraging and inspiring.

Replacing the headlight assembly on a 2014 Ford F150 is quite easy to do and should take no longer than one hour to complete. A set of wrenches, sockets, a Phillips screwdriver and the new headlight assembly are required to complete the task.
To replace the headlight assembly, start by opening the hood and locating the headlight housing. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw that holds the flexible flab to the headlight's housing. Use a 10 millimeter socket wrench to carefully remove the three bolts that hold the housing to the frame of the vehicle. It is important to keep track of any removable parts in the event the replacement doesn't supply the same parts. Finish the removal of the current headlight assembly by gently pulling the housing away from the frame.
Once the factory headlight assembly is no longer attached to the frame, put the new assembly in the place of the previous one and use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the housing to the flexible flab with the corresponding screw. To complete the installation, use a 10 millimeter socket wrench and the three bolts removed in earlier steps to secure the new assembly to the vehicle's frame.

Because of several items I've seen in the news lately, I'm starting to develop a complex for IT pros the world over.
Last week, I talked about the connection between Asperger's Syndrome and IT pros. Now there's a piece in Computerworld by blogger Don Tennant that asks, "How rampant is substance abuse among IT pros?"
From the piece:
Bill Sarine, vice president of business development at ICAN Inc. in Raleigh, notes that according to the DEA, "there are millions of abusers working in our companies, some in very sensitive positions."
In his blog, Tennant says that since IT pros "hold some of the most sensitive positions in any company," possible substance abuse is "especially worrisome."
It may be worrisome, but it doesn't mean, as Tennant seems to imply, that the problem is rampant among IT pros. Just because many abusers have sensitive positions, and IT pros have sensitive positions, it doesn't mean that IT pros are substance abusers.
Now if you list coffee as an abuse-able substance, then hell yeah, I'd venture to say we're all heading down the path to overdose. But is there any evidence that IT pros are regularly under the influence?
One reader who posted in response to the piece claims that he has seen abuse among IT pros who use substances to cope with the pressure of the job. Another poster said that after "almost 30 years as a professional software engineer, in DOD, intel (spook), and industrial positions," he saw a lot of substance abuse but felt it was the best part of the job.
A couple of posters questioned the source of the information — the DEA. Said one:
Look at the corporations that make and administer drug tests, compare to political donors, and look at the revolving doors between government agencies and corporations. Follow the money. Can we say Vested Interests?"
So let's hear it from you guys. First, do you think there is a prevalence of substance abuse among IT techs? Second, is it more prevalent than in any other job?

Critic Reviews for Beyond the Edge
All Critics (24) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (7)
It's all rendered in 3D, with the archival footage reformatted; you'll feel the Everest chill and gape at the astonishing vistas.
Recalled in the somewhat breathless History Channel-style voice-overs of the participants and their families, the journey was a triumph of guts, perseverance, endurance, ingenuity and teamwork.
This absorbing account of the first recorded summit of the world's highest mountain is a rare documentary for which re-enactments make complete sense.
Though impressively shot, the doc is a weak advertisement for 3-D.
Like a mountaineer grappling on sheet ice, the film's focus on performance can result in a loss of footing.
Just as she did with her great The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls, director Leanne Pooley's work neatly refreshes our appreciation of a local legend.
Audience Reviews for Beyond the Edge
An inspirational and often awe inspiring look at the British expedition in 1953 to conquer Mount Everest. Showing the true courage and bravery of those who tried and the sheer relentlessness of Everest itself. A great story of the power of the human spirit and of endurance.
