Reading Football Club News: November 2018
Royals Off To Wigan After Eventful Week
23 November 2018
By Hob Nob Anyone?
It has been an eventful week at Reading Football Club after Chief executive Ron Gourlay left the club after a disappointing 16 months in charge. Reading's downward spiral continued with Gourlay in charge. Crowds have continued to drop alongside our standing in the league, and it is far from happy times at Reading Football Club. Nicky Hammond has ruled himself out of a return, and speculation continues as to how much longer Paul Clement will be in left in charge of managing the team.
Clement takes his struggling side to Wigan this weekend knowing a defeat could have big consequences as the owners shuffle things around behind the scenes. Wigan are favourites for the victory and it's difficult to see past that as Reading have picked up just six points away from home all season. You can try this football index referral code if you'd rather avoid betting on a Reading defeat.
It's not all doom and gloom though - the Royals are out of the relegation zone after four points from their last two games. The home win against Bristol City and the 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town was a reasonable return despite the disappointment of failing to beat the Championship's bottom club. Those two games would certainly be considered easier fixtures on paper compared to the run ahead. After this weekend's game at Wigan we have to travel to third placed Leeds United on Tuesday night.
The game at the DW Stadium might be viewed as an opportunity to pick up some points if we are serious about avoiding relegation. The Latics are on a run of four straight defeats in the league. However, although they say statistics don't lie, their last three defeats have all come against teams in the top four in the Division. There's no shame in away defeats at Sheffield United and Middlesbrough.
Reading still have a number of injuries ahead of the trip to Wigan and Mo Barrow is a new addition to the list as he is likely to miss out due to illness. Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Vito Mannone, Omar Richards, and Paul McShane are all still out of action.
Meanwhile Chris Gunter will hope to be involved after breaking the record as Wales' most capped player on Tuesday night. Gunter has now clocked up a massive 93 appearances for his country and is already considered something of a legend in Wales. Wales were beaten 0-1 by Albania as Gunter played the full ninety minutes and picked up a yellow card as he entered the Welsh history books.
Meite Shows Why He Deserved New Contract
12 November 2018
By Hob Nob Anyone?
There were more than a few eyebrows raised when striker Yakou Meite was awarded a huge new four year contract at the start of October. At the time it was fair to say that, despite his effort, Meite was hardly looking like the kind of player to be regularly banging the goals in. Shortly after signing his new deal he has gone on to score six goals in just five Championship games. It feels like Meite has come from nowhere to find himself working his way up the Championship's top goalscorers list. It wouldn't be a bad idea to request a bet on Meite finishing as the Division's top scorer. Brentford's Neal Maupay leads the scoring charts with 12 goals, so Meite has plenty of ground to make up, but Brentford's form has dipped after losing their manager to Aston Villa - while Reading fans remain hopeful of a change of fortunes.
Meite also scored in our 2-0 league cup win over Birmingham but he is starting to look a much improved player since even the start of the season. Meite scored two excellent goals during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Ipswich. The first a well taken overhead kick from an angle, the second was a vital goal for a late equaliser when he directed his header into the side of the net. It was the celebration that showed how much it meant to Meite as he charged towards the fans with his arms out wide, quite literally roaring. The goals, the effort and determination, and his clear desire has propelled him to the top of the popularity rankings at Reading Football Club. As John Wells put in his report of the Ipswich game: "Without Meite's contribution in terms of goals and work rate in recent games Reading would be in much deeper trouble by now."
After arriving from Paris Saint Germain over two years ago, Meite had limited chances at Reading. After some games in the 2016/2017 season, making 15 appearances and scoring just once, he spent the next season out on loan at French side Sochaux. When he returned to Reading this summer and made his return to the first team expectations weren't exactly high. Meite has proved any doubters wrong and is already paying off the club's faith in him. Speaking after the weekend Meite's confidence is clearly high: "I think I'm on fire at the moment. It's great, I just need to keep on going. This is one of the best parts of my career. I'm scoring consistently and I just need to stay confident."
Meite's form has also earned him an International call up, and he will be hoping to feature for Ivory Coast as they play Guinea on Sunday and Rwanda next Thursday in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification games. After an injury scare before the Ipswich game, when he was declared a doubt to start, Reading fans will be hoping Meite has success with his country but returns full fit and ready to play a part in some tough Championship games. After the International break the Royals travel to Wigan and Leeds hoping to pick up some points to stay out of the bottom three.
Draw Takes Reading Out Of Bottom Three
10 November 2018
By Hob Nob Anyone?
Reading climbed out of the relegation zone with a draw against bottom of the league Ipswich Town. Under recently appointed manager Paul Lambert, Town presented more of a challenge that many had expected. As so often happens under a new manager Ipswich were galvanised by Lambert's arrival and started on the front foot. In a chaotic opening ten minutes they took an early lead through Edwards, immediately conceded a brilliant equaliser by Meite, and then regained the lead when Sears took full advantage of some appalling Reading defending. Throughout the first half Reading were sluggish and conceded possession with remarkable regularity, and rarely threatened the visitor's goal. In contrast Ipswich were full of energy and aggression and had Jaakkola not pulled off a couple of smart saves the game would have been over by half time. Thankfully for Reading the second half was a different story. Meite confirmed his status the current home fans' favourite heading a deserved equaliser six minutes from the end and, if Baldock had managed to put away one of the two excellent chances created for him in the final minutes, Reading would have taken all three points from an Ipswich side which by then had well and truly retreated into their shell.

Royals Favourites As Ipswich Visit
09 November 2018
By Hob Nob Anyone?
Reading's solid home form has ensured that they are the favourites to pick up another precious three points when they host Ipswich on Saturday. The Royals are already facing up to the prospect of a long battle against relegation, but fans can take some solace from their results at the Madejski Stadium. They beat Bristol City 3-2 at the weekend to make it three wins out of their last four home games and that should give the players confidence. Ipswich sit bottom of the table and this really is the sort of game Reading must win if they are to beat the drop.
The best betting websites have odds on this game and they have Reading as the favourites at 6/5 or 5/4, while the draw is 23/10 and Ipswich are out at 9/4. The Tractor Boys have lost their last two away trips, losing 2-0 to Leeds and 3-0 to Millwall, and their situation looks pretty dire. Three teams go down in the Championship and Ipswich are the clear, odds-on favourites to do so, while Bolton are also odds-on at 8/11 to be relegated. Then Rotherham are 10/11 and Reading are 5/4, so the bookmakers predict the Royals could escape the ignominy of relegation by the skin of their teeth.
Most Reading fans would have been horrified by the prospect of a 21st place finish at the start of the campaign, but a fair few would take it now. They have not been too horrendous on the road, where they have one win and three draws to give them a better away record than six rivals. But at home only Hull, Bolton and Ipswich have fared worse than them. Yet that it down to the fact that they lost their opening four home games of the season. Since then they have staged a bit of a resurgence, beating Bristol, Millwall and Hull.
They desperately need to maintain that momentum and vanquish a relegation rival when Ipswich roll into town on Saturday. "I think I can stay another week, which is nice," said beleaguered boss Paul Clement after the win against the Robins at the weekend. "It was an important result, we had lost the previous two games, we were in the bottom three and still are, though it's a little bit tighter so we're not stranded. A lot of pressure has been building because of performances and results, so it's a really good feeling to win at home and hopefully we can use it as a bit of a springboard now which is something we haven't managed to do so far this season."
Clement had his midfielders to thank for the victory over mid-table Bristol City. Liam Kelly and Leandro Bacuna both got on the score sheet and they were purposeful in their running throughout the game, while academy product Andy Rinomhota earned rave reviews for his performance. Yakou Meite should also take encouragement from his goal and Reading now need to discover a modicum of consistency.
They have not won consecutive games for an entire year, as they last picked up back-to-back victories over Barnsley and Sunderland back in November 2017 under Jaap Stam. Clement's team could not have been presented with a better opportunity to end that woeful record as Ipswich have taken just 10 points from 16 games and they are winless in their last four. Ipswich have already lost six of their eight away games this season, and Reading have the ability to gun them down on Saturday. They have already rolled the dice, bringing in Paul Lambert to replace Paul Hurst at the end of October, but the results are yet to pick up and the Royals must ensure it does not happen against them.
Reading Make It Three Home Wins From Four
03 November 2018
By Hob Nob Anyone?
Reading finally produced the kind of performance their fans have been craving all season. Having twice taken the lead, and on each occasion meekly conceded an equaliser shortly afterwards, Reading fans awaited the second half with a degree of apprehension. However today the Royals regained the lead with a superbly created and finished goal midway through the second half, and produced a gritty kind of rearguard action which has seemed beyond them so often this season. Paul Clement must be delighted, and just a little relieved that his team, having scored three very good goals, found sufficient collective will and determination to hold on to their richly deserved lead to claim a valuable three points. The Reading manager, having endured listening to some pretty damning statistics about his team this season, was quick to point out that this was their third win in the last four home games. It was day when everything worked out in the end and the fans responded favourably doing their bit sensing their team had decided enough was enough and were determined not to let this one slip away.

Who could replace Paul Clement?
01 November 2018
By Hob Nob Anyone?
Reading's manager looks to be nearing the exit door, but who can take the reins at The Royals?
The fate of Reading boss Paul Clement looks to be sealed following a ninth league defeat of the season, after a 2-0 loss at Swansea City last weekend left The Royals in the relegation zone.
Reading have won just three of their fifteen Championship games this season and although Clement remains in a job ahead of this weekend's fixture with Bristol City at the Madejski, the 46-year-old's time at the club looks to be numbered. Clement is currently the favourite across betting apps sites to be the next Championship manager to leave his position.
It would take a monumental turn in fortunes for Clement to survive into the Christmas period, with his side registering just five wins in the league since he took charge in March, against five draws and 13 defeats. Speculation over Clement's future provided the backdrop to defeat at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, with reports suggesting Steve Bruce is being eyed as a potential replacement.
Bruce was sacked by fellow strugglers Aston Villa in early October and is currently on holiday with family in Barbados, while the 57-year-old has not enjoyed an extended break from the pressures of football management since the first-half of 2012 before joining Hull City.
Whilst Bruce is currently the hotly-tipped favourite to take over from Clement therefore, a lot can change in football in a short space of time and should he decided not to jump back in yet, the Reading board will need to have earmarked alternative options. There are however other candidates that Reading could approach to fill the role.
Mark Warburton was heavily linked with the Reading job in March before the board instead opted for Clement, but remains out of work since being sacked by Nottingham Forest last New Year's Eve. The 56-year-old former Rangers boss has had plenty of time to plot his next move since and could be refreshed and ready for another stint on the touchline.
Meanwhile, the experienced Nigel Pearson is another consideration, having previously managed Southampton, Hull City, Derby County and Leicester City, who he twice won promotion with (from League One and the Championship). Pearson is currently the manager of Belgian First Division B side OH Leuven, whom he guided to a second-place finish last season, but was in line for the Middlesbrough job before they appointed Gary Monk last year and may relish the chance to return to England. With Pearson's experience, he could be a shrewd appointment as Reading look to stabilise and beat the drop.
Whoever takes over from Clement, or even if he somehow manages to hold on to the manager's job, Reading need to start climbing the table fast. They are currently 11/10 with SkyBet to be relegated from the Championship this season, making them fourth favourites to go down at present, highlighting how far they have fallen since Jaap Stam guided them to the play-offs two seasons ago.

Gender Equality
Women suffer economic, social, and political discrimination. Much has been done over the last three decades to try and reverse such discrimination, and aid has played its part. Yet in many societies there is often a higher incidence of poverty among women than men, while women are also more likely to live in extreme poverty.

Aspiration and NOSI announced today that NOSI will become a project of Aspiration (see press release).
Since 2003 NOSI has provided the nonprofit sector with information and education designed to help nonprofits leverage the benefits of using free and open source software (FOSS) in their work. As the author of the groundbreaking "Choosing and Using Free and Open Source Software: A Primer for Nonprofits," NOSI provides nonprofit staff and decision-makers with both tools and information, allowing them to assess free and open source software's capacity to support the needs of their organizations.
The merger will allow the two organizations to focus their collective energies on growing free and open source capacity in the nonprofit sector, working with developers, integrators, and end users. A number of open source tools, including the Firefox web browser, the CiviCRM platform, and a range of open source web publishing systems, have reached a state of maturity that makes them excellent options for nonprofits. But much work remains to be done in supporting the creation and sustainability of FOSS options in a number of other mission-critical software categories. Aspiration and NOSI welcome the challenge.
Michelle Murrain, NOSI's Coordinator says "Aspiration and NOSI have worked hand in hand over the years to help nonprofit organizations learn about and implement free and open source software. This is a natural fit, and I'm excited to consider the kinds of projects we'll be undertaking together."
Aspiration Executive Director Allen Gunn says "Aspiration works to see better tools created to support nonprofit missions. While as an organization we strive to be license-agnostic, we see free and open source software as an ever-more critical component of nonprofit technology infrastructure, and NOSI has led the way over the past 5 years in advocating and educating nonprofits and funders about free and open source software. Working directly with NOSI will forward Aspiration's mission of better tools for a better world."
Aspiration and NOSI will immediately turn their focus to the 2008 Nonprofit Software Development Summit, taking place November 17-19 in Oakland, California. The event will provide a venue for the full range of stakeholders in nonprofit software development to meet, share knowledge, discuss pressing issues and strengthen community ties. We encourage anyone interested in nonprofit software to join us for this unique summit.
NOSI will operate as a program of Aspiration, retaining its advisory board and programmatic direction. Michelle Murrain will return to the Aspiration board, with a focus on representing the NOSI community. The organizations will share staff and fundraising capacity, and the new Aspiration will be better able to educate the groups they work with about available free and open source options. This work will be carried out by maintaining the NOSI Primer, enhancing the Social Source Commons, and continuing to host Penguin Days across the country and around the world.

How to place your TV in the kitchen
Tips and ideas for putting your TV in the right place
Whatever type of television you may have, you will have to avoid bright reflections,
don't place the TV in front of a window, especially if the window faces south and is brightly illuminated by the sun.
Whatever your television, you will need to pay attention to reflections: it's better to avoid placing it in front of windows, especially if facing south and then brightly lit by the sun, or other artificial light sources.< /br> A lamp – placed on the side or above the television - is recommended if you think you'll watch your favorite shows even in the dark, perhaps after dinner. A soft light helps not to strain the eyes.
If you have a Plasma or LCD model , you can - and you should - take into account some aspects that case of traditional televisions could be neglected.
The main advantage is that these types of tv can also be mounted on the wall, at any point of the kitchen. However, LCD devices have a limited viewing angle; therefore, in order to have images of perfect quality, viewers will have to sit as much as possible in front of the screen.

One of the coolest things about Azure Event Grid is that an event handler can be almost anything that accepts a HTTP POST. This got me thinking about how to use Event Grid in new ways with services on Azure that have yet to be leveraged.
In this post, I will demonstrate how to use Azure API Management (APIM) and Event Grid to unlock some interesting opportunities. If you are looking for ways to publish from APIM to Event Grid, please see this post: https://madeofstrings.com/2018/08/13/publishing-to-event-grid-from-azure-api-management/.
Several Azure services already integrate with Event Grid – Functions, Logic Apps, Event Hubs and Azure Automation all provide native support for subscribing to events. So then why would API Management be a valuable service to leverage?
A few of the solutions that would be enabled by API Management and Event Grid working together, include:
- Pushing events to internal APIs. Since an instance of API Management can be deployed within a VNET, events that are pushed from Grid could be routed to those services.
- Integration with legacy services. API Management can provide a facade to existing services that cannot be updated and know nothing about Event Grid. In addition, those services could be replaced, moved or even rewritten without the dependency of subscribing to Event Grid directly.
- Integration with other Azure services. From API Management, we can push messages to Cosmos DB and many other services on Azure.
- Pushing to external services. Events could be pushed from APIM to external services like Slack. The send one way request policy is just one example of how requests could be sent to other services.
The following figure shows the solution that we will walk through – events published by a custom application to Event Grid, handled by APIM and then displayed inside a Slack channel:
I'll show you how to put this together in just a bit. First, it'll be helpful to reflect on how events are delivered.
How Event Delivery Works
The delivery of events to an endpoint from Event Grid is well documented. All that is really required is that the endpoint is secure (HTTPS) and that it can echo back the validation code passed in. Both the header and the body of the message will contain the information necessary to determine what type of request is coming in.
There are two types of messages that Event Grid will send to a subscriber:
- Subscription validation – this will include the validation code that the subscriber must send back.
- Notification – this will contain contextual information from the event publisher about the event.
The best way to determine the event type (since it can vary by publishers) is to check the header value for Aeg-Event-Type.
API Management Event Handler
Policies in API Management, and the inbound statements specifically, is where we will do all the work. The complete solution on the API Management side looks like this:
Let's walk through some of the key parts. The first few statements retrieve the event type value from the header. These variables will be used to identify the type of incoming messages.
The choose policy can then be applied to handle each type of message accordingly:
The first condition is sending back the validation code within a property called validationResponse. Event Grid will send this message when the subscription is first created and also from time-to-time to ensure that it is still available:
The second condition, supports the notification message from Event Grid. Remember, this is the message that is sent from the event publisher. The publisher could be one of the existing services on Azure – Blob Storage, Resource Groups and a few others, or it could even be from an application or service in the form a custom topic. Regardless, here is where things get interesting since this is where our options open up with how to handle the message. We could pass it along to another API, transform it into something else and so on.
For this example, a one way request is made to a Slack channel to demonstrate several things: how to call an external service and how to parse data from a custom event.
To keep things interesting, we are pretending that the event is published from a radio station and contains details about their current playlist. We'll parse out some of the details from the event and sent it along to Slack:
Creating an Event Subscription
Now it's time to create the event subscription. We will need the following:
- A Event Grid Topic – there is a great quickstart for creating a topic here.
- The API Management endpoint – this is just the address and path of the API you want to register as the endpoint.
- The API Management subscription key – we will append this to the endpoint address to authorize the request.
The complete endpoint address should look something like this:
The reason the APIM key is appended to the address is because Event Grid currently does not support the setting of header values in subscriptions. It only takes the address for now – luckily we can pass this in as a query string parameter.
Assuming you have a custom topic available, create the event subscription with the following command from the CLI:
az eventgrid topic event-subscription create --name <name-of-subscription> / --resource-group <resource-group-name> / --topic-name <event-grid-topic-name> / --endpoint <endpoint-address>
To confirm and list all the event subscriptions created for the topic, you can call:
az eventgrid topic event-subscription list --resource-group <resource-group-name> --topic <topic-name> --output table
Putting it All Together
All the pieces are in place and we can now send messages to Event Grid to test this end-to-end.
Using Postman, the header should include the SAS key for the Event Grid topic:
The body of the request will look like this:
When sent, we can expect a new message in the Slack channel:
Pretty cool, huh? Event Grid and API Management work really well together and open up a slew of new integration opportunities.
The policy used in this post can be found at the following GitHub repository: https://github.com/dbarkol/EventGrid-API-Management.
[…] David Barkol – Subscribing to Event Grid events with Azure API Management Azure Event Grid requires a subscription validation handshake, in order to ensure that the subscriber acknowledges it wants to receive the event. This blog explains how you can perform this handshake in Azure APIM, so you don't need to modify the subscribing API itself. Read the complete article here. […]

It all started with 10 cactus seeds and a wish to please a father and dear friend in 1999. His dream of a cactus and succulent collection inspired us to start growing cacti. As he recognized correctly, Jordan with its hot dry summers and not too cold winters is an ideal place for cacti and other succulent plants. Now in the year of 2007 a small collection has started taking shape and in loving memory we named it: Hajos cactus and succulents.
The aim of this web site is:
- To provide a small corner for cactus lovers and collectors in the Middle East especially in Jordan.
- To inform about cacti and succulent plants grown in the existing conditions in Jordan.
- To help, cacti and succulent plant lovers to identify their plants.
- To introduce cacti and other succulent plants suitable to be grown in Jordan, to a wider public.

The Canberra Times
Singer Maria Yiakoulis was invited to perform in Canberra as part of the Oneira Winter Festival of Dreams, a cultural celebration over six weeks leading up to the Athens Olympics.
As a Sydney resident who sings traditional Greek music in a contemporary style, Yiakoulis could be said to represent the cross-cultural ideals of the festival itself.
Her voice is a powerhouse. with a husky break near the top of her range that does a great deal to break down any language barrier. Yiakoulis spent nearly two hours in her chest register on Saturday night and was showing no signs of tiring by the end of the performance.
"Greeks sing about the sea, love and death," she remarked. She presented a number of songs on those themes, with occasional explanations into English for those of us who needed them. As the title of her show suggested she would, Yiakoulis covered a range of styles within the vast repertoire of Greek music, but never strayed into what aficionados describe as "bouzouki-lite".
The too-well-know Misirlou (courtesy of surf guitarist Dick Dale and Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction) sounded fresh and passionate in its original setting. "See, that is a Greek tune", Yiakoulis said, adopting a rock pose. Much of the material was from the Rembetika tradition (Greek music's equivalent of the blues), including two songs by the legendary Vasilis Tsitsani. There were sounds of delighted recognition from her audience on occasion, as they began to clap along – and when an audience claps along perfectly in five-eight, you know they're familiar with the song.
Yiakoulis projected a combination of modesty and don't-mess-with-me confidence from the stage. She accompanied herself a little, on guitar and a tiny baglama (a long-necked lute), but allowed her able musician friends to carry the musical weight of the evening, and even to take the limelight. As good as her band was, Yiakoulis seemed hemmed in by their presence. As an act, her program kept threatening to take off, but never quite managed to become more than a series of songs.
There's a terrific one-woman show waiting to break out of this singer, a performance with more stories from her own experience, accompanied by just one or two sympathetic guitarists. In such surroundings, she could take a shopping list, translate it into Greek, and make the hairs on your neck rise.

#1 Monroe, NY
This project was just completed on August 16th. The swimming pool had standing water issues which I solved by putting drainage on the inside and outside of the wall. The planting I did in front of the house was done in the style I used for Transformation Church in Middletown NY. The rock walls are consistent throughout the beds except for the side bed on the south side of the house. This is more of a free form succulent planting which is virtually maintenance free. All the plants get their water via soaker hose buried underneath the mulch. There is a timer on the spigot so that the homeowner does not have to worry about watering, only needs to be adjusted twice a year and taken off in the winter.

"Clutch Me" clutch from ASOS\ Gold Ring Set from H&M ( A Chic, Yet Cheap Find- Shop real gold version at Market Cross Jewelers )\ Zara Boyfriend Distressed Denim\ L'Oreal Greycian Goddess Nail Poish
In an industry that is constantly striving to strike the perfect balance between being taken seriously, but not too seriously, a little satire seems to go a long way. For the fall 2014 collections, we not only saw a bit of comic relief, but we actually saw a full-blown trend emerge on the handbag front. From Chanel to Phillip Lim, Kenzo and Moschino, handbags were decorated with a touch of humor for the upcoming fall season. And being the impatient style maven that I am, I couldn't wait to partake in this trend and share it with you lovely readers. I may be currently coveting the "Cash" clutch that the genius Phillip Lim created, but this little piece of arm candy is just as much fun and spot-on when it comes to the new trend.
What are your favorite accessories for the upcoming season?

Our Law Offices in Virginia
Call us to schedule an appointment at one of our two Virginia offices:
Virginia Motorcycle Laws
Motorcycle laws and statutes are different in each state—and they're constantly evolving. In Virginia, these laws affect everything from the use of unapproved motorcycle accessories to motorcyclists' rights to use the HOV lane—a right we fought for in Virginia.
As part of our service to motorcycle riders in Virginia, we maintain up-to-date, annotated versions of state laws and statutes for Virginia, as well as several other states where we practice.
Getting accurate information starts by choosing a trusted source, and our Virginia motorcycle accident lawyers are immersed in these laws on a daily basis.

We all take safety seriously. Still, knowing which factors affect motorcycle safety in Virginia can help ensure that you enjoy the ride, whether that's in the foothills of the Appalachians or along the coast in Virginia Beach.
According to data from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), motorcycle accident fatality risks are highest among those aged 46–60, accounting for 40.3% of all fatalities in 2014, while risk of injury is greatest for a younger demographic, 21–35, which accounted for 37.5% of all injuries.
Not every accident can be prevented. Virginia DMV data also notes that there was "No Violation" in 39.8% of all motorcycle accidents. Still, when it comes to the factors that motorcyclists control—and this should come as no surprise—the two leading causes of accidents are following too closely (6.98%) and excessive speed (5.87%). Alcohol was a factor in an estimated 5.60% of all accidents.
We are advocates for motorcyclists in Virginia.
We work tirelessly to ensure that your right to ride is protected in Virginia. We have taken multiple cases before Virginia courts, including a successful effort to allow motorcyclists to use HOV lanes.
If you believe your right to ride has been violated, contact us today and let us help you.

This was another surprise to me as I looked at the statistics and depth charts for both schools. Wisconsin has NO depth at this position. They have their two starters and a back-up. That's it.
What's more, Duck wide receivers had more catches as a group than Wisconsin and just 19 less total yards..
Oregon: Wide receiver is another position that the Ducks found themselves needing to reload at in the 2011 season. Lost from the 12-1 national championship runners-up were Jeff Maehl and DJ Davis who completed their eligibility in 2010. Duck fans found themselves optimistic, though, as Lavasier Tuinei, a rangy receiver with good hands, returned. 2010 also saw the emergence of Josh Huff, the speedster out of Texas. The Ducks were looking for a breakout year from Huff. Coaches and teammates felt that there was only one starter that needed to be found.
Unfortunately, Huff found himself injured in fall camp. Without his speed on the outside, opponents would be better equipped to stack the box and play against the run. The Ducks signed 4 wide receivers in the 2011 class, three freshman and a junior college transfer.

Wisconsin: The Badgers faced a similar uncertainty in their wide receiver group coming into the 2011 season. The leading receiver in 2010 was the tight end. The one constant the team was sure they could count on was the son of former New York Jet All Toon. Nick Toon was a legacy player for Wisconsin following in his fathers footsteps to Madison. Nick had played well enough to be the second leading receiver for the Badgers as a junior.
Entering his senior year off of the frustration that came from a Rose Bowl loss to TCU in January, Toon started the season strong with...

This summer, Harper Collins published journalist Helena Andrews' memoir Bitch is the New Black. The book details Helena's life with her lesbian mother, working her way up in the world of journalism and trying to find a good black man. Before the book was released, Shonda Rhimes' production company, Shondaland, optioned it for a film, which means Helena's life will soon be coming to the big screen — gay mom included.
"Frances, my mother, loves the book," Helena told AfterEllen.com. "I never asked her permission to write about the parts of her life that tell my life story because, well, I'm grown. But, I also know my mother and the daughter she raised (the daughter she's proud of) always speaks her truth."
Bitch is the New Black is half part chick lit (that's where the finding a good man comes in) and half smart and witty reflection of growing up a black girl with a gay mom. Helena first writes of her mom, Frances, in the second chapter "Getting My Hair Undid." It's evident Helena and Frances have a loving, playful relationship. Frances calls Helena "brown eyed girl" and sings her new original birthday ditties every year.
Frances and Helena moved around, from California to Catalina, Frances taking on a series of odd jobs and relationships. The early chapters of the book detail Helena's childhood spent with her mom and her mom's family and girlfriends. In one section, Helena talks about her love of The Cosby Show and decided she wanted to know why she didn't know her own Cliff Huxtable — her own father. She went to Frances with a copy of her King James bible.
"I was in sixth grade when I told my best friend that my mother 'liked girls,'" Helena said. "She was cool with it at first but, of course, she threw it back in my face during some 12-year-old fight. After that I never told anyone that Frances was gay or straight. She was just my mother—the woman who sewed costumes, sold candy bars and screamed the loudest. In high school, Frances threw me some kind of bat mitzah but without the religion and with a sister circle. All my friends were there and I just knew they knew what everyone knew. But no one said anything the next day besides asking if my very gay godfather was my dad. By the time I got to college I was over it. No one cared and, honestly, it made me cooler."
In chapter four, "Riding in Cars with Lesbians," Helena introduces a friend named Britanya, a co-worker at the New York Times she suspects has a crush on her. Helena writes:
Helena writes she had found out Britanya was a lesbian via a MySpace blog ("There was a blog post on 'Writer Chick's" page about how she'd been heart-broken by a 'her.' Current mood? Sad face.")
The problem is that Helena doesn't share Britanya's feelings, and also doesn't appreciate how Britanya is trying to be a bigger part of her life. Their relationship ends after an Ethiopian dinner and a non-romanic night spent together.
"I actually don't know [if she's read the book]," Helena said. "Britanya and I haven't spoken since I left the New York Times to start work as a reporter for Politico. Some people just have walk-on roles in your life and [she was] memorable but brief."
Frances' girlfriend Vernell was a different story. She and Frances had a tumultuous relationship that turned toxic and violent. Despite Helena's love for Vernell and the hipness she exuded (having introduced Helena to hip-hop and cross colours), she stood up for her mother and they both said goodbye to her girlfriend.
There's been so much written about lesbian mothers in the last year, but Bitch is the New Black is a refreshing new perspective. Helena is, firstly, proof that lesbian moms don't screw up their straight children, nor do they make them gay. In fact, they can even turn out to be their daughters' best friend and muse, as Helena refers to Frances.
"Not seeing The Kids are All Right is a major child-of-a-lesbian fail on my part," Helena said from one of the year's biggest films, which happens to be about lesbian moms. "From what I've gleaned through Internet osmosis, the film looks phenomenal and — most importantly — authentic. My mother and I were on CNN this summer talking about that very report, which said that the children of lesbians were better adjusted socially than their peers. I'd totally agree in most instances. "
"Lesbians, gays, straights, whateves can all either be crap parents, awesome parents, or somewhere in between depending on how much sleep they've had," Helena continued. "I happened to luck out with an amazing mother who was extremely invested in my life from start to forever. When it comes to parents who have to fight (family, religion, the legal system) for their right to conceive and raise a child together there is a dynamic in which those parents have prepared for parenthood. A lesbian or gay couple doesn't have 'an accident.'"
When it comes to the film adaptation, Helena gave us a little bit of insight as to where it's at right now.
"We've jut finished the treatment and I'll hopefully be moving on to writing the screenplay very soon. Shonda has been awesome in coaxing cinema out of me," she said. As far as who she'd like to see play her and her mom? "I always thought my mom and Whoopi Goldberg looked alike. It's such an out of body experience whenever we talk about the "Helena" character. Because, um, yeah, that's me. For the lead role, I'm just hoping we see some fresh funny girls we haven't seen before. I want the role to be something a black actress can sink her teeth into and tear the house down with."

The Syrian government said it was ready to exchange prisoners with the rebels on Friday, while the Syrian opposition debated whether to attend the peace talks in Geneva next week.
"I informed (Russian Foreign Minister Sergei) Lavrov of our principled position in favor of an agreement to exchange those held in Syrian prisons for those taken by the other side," Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem announced in Moscow.
Muallem also said, "I have handed Minister Lavrov today a plan of security measures in Aleppo."
"In that regard I asked Minister Lavrov to use his contacts to implement this plan and to establish a specific time when all military actions in this area should be ceased," he said.
On the peace talks next week, Muallem said Syria would "make every effort to ensure this event is a success and meets the aspirations of the Syrian people and the direct orders of President Bashar al-Assad."
However, US Secretary of State John Kerry warned the regime against using the concessions as diversion tactics ahead of the so-called Geneva II conference.
"Nobody is going to be fooled," Kerry said, "They can bluster, they can protest, they can put out distortions, the bottom line is we are going to Geneva to implement Geneva I, and if Assad doesn't do that he will invite greater response."
The New York Times cited rebels and civilians saying the offer of a ceasefire in Syria can be deceptive. The areas that don't agree to a ceasefire can expect aerial attacks from the regime, while those that do might face demands to turn over wanted figures and give up their weapons.
One rebel leader was quoted as saying it seemed "more like surrender."
More from GlobalPost: Syria: President Assad's Instagram feed vs reality
Kerry said it would become increasingly clear that "there is no political solution whatsoever if Assad is not discussing a transition and if he thinks he is going to be part of that future."
The Syrian opposition met on Friday to decide whether it will attend Geneva, a matter that has further fractured an already divided coalition.
A key bloc, the Syrian National Council, has already threatened to pull out of the coalition if it votes in favor of attending Geneva II.
Complicating the situation are the continuing fierce battles between mainstream rebels in Syria and Al Qaeda-linked jihadists that monitors say have killed over 1,000 people in two weeks.
According to the UK-based Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, the death toll in the Syrian conflict exceeds 130,000 since March 2011.

I use WSUS Offline Update on a small network of Windows 7 64-bit computers every month. The computers do not have a connection to the Internet. The last time I updated the computers was on January 30, 2018.
I ran WSUS Offline Update today to get the latest updates. This includes the "February 13, 2018 KB4074598 Monthly Rollup" (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... -kb4074598). But when I run "UpdateInstaller.exe", no updates are installed...
Is this to be expected?
...to make things more confusing, if I download the February Monthly Rollup (mentioned above) from the Microsoft Catalog and install it manually, it WILL be installed. Why does it install when I do it manually but not when I use WSUS Offline Update?

Carlyle and Shaw : a comparison based on Past and present, and Major Barbara (1965)

Thesis DisciplineEnglish
Degree NameMaster of Arts

AuthorsHay, Russell Lindsayshow all
This thesis has the twofold purpose of revealing, within its limits, the way in which the streams of rationalism and romanticism flow together in the works of Carlyle and of Shaw, and of indicating that Shaw was not only similar to Carlyle in many of his attitudes, but owed the latter a debt of gratitude for providing the basis, Past and Present, of Major Barbara. Chapter one of the thesis is concerned with outlining, in general terms, why Shaw belongs primarily to the nineteenth century and to romanticism, and I use Carlyle as a yard-stick for comparison. Succeeding chapters are concerned with a direct comparison between Carlyle's Past and Present and Shaw's Major Barbara, but will refer the reader constantly to the idea that the central area of common significance in the two authors is the peculiar marrying of romantic outlook to rational argument. In the final chapter, on "Captains of Industry", apropos the names of one of Carlyle's, and one of Shaw's, characters, what seems to me complete proof of Shaw's indebtedness to Carlyle.

If you happened to be perusing the pages of the British magazine Country Life in September 1915, you likely would have come across an advert in the property section that, through modern eyes, would appear to be a practical joke.
There, looming large in a black-and-white photograph, stand the iconic monoliths of Stonehenge, advertised as a companion feature for an estate sale spanning some 6,400 acres. Incredibly, if you had deep pockets in the early 20th century, you could have purchased Stonehenge.
In 1915, the historic site of Stonehenge could have been yours for less than $10,000. (Photo: Country Life Magazine)
History on the auction block
Since the first stones were raised more than 4,000 years ago, the land under Stonehenge has been claimed by famers, kings and queens, and other owners lost to history. From the Middle Ages to the early 19th century, the site was in private hands, with the Antrobus family of Cheshire purchasing the landmark in 1824. When the family's only living heir was killed fighting in France during World War I, the decision was made to sell the estate. Unfortunately, there were no interested buyers for the complete lot, which included a mansion, farmhouse, and accompanying gardens, and the family decided to divide the property and place each part up for auction.
Which is how, on Sept. 21, 1915, at promptly 2 p.m., Stonehenge and some surrounding 30 acres hit the auction block as one of 89 lots from the Antrobus estate sale. Despite its reputation as a well-known British landmark and tourist magnet, interest in owning Stonehenge wasn't exactly high.

Under the direction of auctioneer Sir Howard Frank, bidding on the historical site began at £5,000 and quickly petered out at £6,000. According to a transcript from the auction, an incredulous Frank urged the two remaining bidders to respectfully aim higher.
"Gentlemen," he observed quietly, "it is impossible to value Stonehenge. Surely £6,000 is poor bidding, but if no one bids me any more, I shall set it at this price. Will no one give me any more than £6,000 for Stonehenge?"
Despite these pleas, when the hammer came down on lot 15, the final price was only £6,600 (about $8,700), a far cry from the tens of thousands of pounds the site was expected to draw. Stonehenge's new owner, a local barrister named Cecil Chubb, was perhaps even more surprised. According to reports, Chubb was sent to the auction by his wife to purchase some curtains. "But," he remarked after the purchase, "while I was in the room, I thought a Salisbury man ought to buy it, and that is how it was done."

It's claimed that Chubb presented his new purchase to his wife as a gift, who was apparently none too pleased. Stonehenge at the time was not in the state we think of today, with several of the upright stone collapsed and many more chipped or damaged by generations of visitors. She also may not have been too enthused on the "bargain" price of £6,600, which is just over $1 million in today's dollars.
Regardless, Mr. and Mrs. Chubb didn't hold on to the property for long. In October 1918, in a move that would earn him an honorary knighthood, Cecil deeded Stonehenge as a gift to the U.K. government.
"Stonehenge is perhaps the best known and the most interesting of our national monuments and has always appealed strongly to the British imagination," he wrote in a dedication bequeathing the landmark. "To me, who was born close to it and during my boyhood and youth visited it at all hours of the day and night, under every conceivable condition of weather – in driving tempests of hail, rain and snow, fierce thunderstorms, glorious moonlight and beautiful sunshine, it always has had an inexpressible charm. I became the owner of it with a deep sense of pleasure…[but] it has…been pressed upon me that the nation would like to have it for its own."

As part of the conditions of the gift, Chubb stipulated that local residents should always be able to visit the stones for free, a request that the English Heritage still honors.
"It is odd to think that just 100 years ago, you could bid for Stonehenge," curator Heather Sebire told the Guardian. "Who knows what would have happened to it if someone else had bought it? It was in a pretty perilous condition at the time and it appears that Chubb stepped in to make sure Stonehenge stayed in local ownership. Now it's under the guardianship of English Heritage and is safe forever."

You know how some things just 'are' no matter how you want to explain them otherwise?
Like the uncanny behavioral resemblance to our parents we all develop with age.
Or the fact that you just read that and went all 'Pshuh! Not me!' on that truth.
Some shit just 'is'.
Such as …
Pull my finger is funny when your 80-year-old grandfather or 4-year-old nephew do it.
Smell my finger? Not so much.
Women have a better sense of smell than men.
Probably because men want us to smell their finger way too much.
On average a woman has 4 sexual partners in her lifetime.
That she'll admit.
Tracy Morgan's a dick.
Nope, that's it.
A chameleon's tongue is twice the length of its body.
You just had a sexual thought reading that.
English doesn't have to be read or written from left to right.
Hebrew is right to left. Period.
The invention of the Chocolate Chip Cookie was an accident.
The Canary Islands were named for dogs.
Hounds of hell, to be precise.
A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.
Pregnant teen? Same.
In England, the Speaker of the House doesn't speak.
In the U.S., that rule should apply to all Tea Party freaks.
Zsa Zsa's days are numbered.
Don't argue. You know it's true.
Mark Douglas' 'Beiber Fever' is so funny you'll pee yourself.
Go ahead. Download it. You've been warned.
In Florida, it's illegal for men to be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown.
Key West must be exempt.
My brain is tired.
Your turn!

I have been meaning to post this news…
I have been meaning to post this news for a few days… I finally have my first 3D printer (a Printrbot Simple Metal). Check it out!
And, yes, one of the first things I printed was the wrench NASA emailed to the ISS (http://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/wrench-mis). It is supposed to have a ratcheting action, but some of the moving parts fused together on my run. Guessing I need to calibrate the printer some more before the wrench will turn out correctly (but it is still cool).
Speaking of calibrating a 3D printer, Matt M. has some experience in that area so I asked him for some advice. Here is what he told me (the comments about pressure vessels relate to our hardware project for 2015 – a classroom scale (hopefully 3D printed) cold gas thruster – more news on that as it becomes available).
I did some blogging on the subject. It dates itself by the posts devoted to surveying the printers available since today there are way too many to bother with that kind of thing. https://printthat.wordpress.com/
Joshua Pearce published a paper on the mechanical properties of 3D printed parts http://www.academia.edu/6209168/Mechanical_properties_of_components_fabricated_with_open-source_3-D_printers_under_realistic_environmental_conditions
Do you have some aspect of calibration in mind that isn't covered by the existing calibration files? I'd recommend starting with the Make Magazine test files http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:533472
I laid out the framework for a definitive guide to calibrating FFF 3D printers https://opendesignengine.net/projects/vg3dp because I couldn't find anything that anybody else had written that both made sense and covered the entire process.
Containing pressure is going to be an interesting stress test for FFF 3D printed parts. The layers pretty much guarantee delamination prior to actual material failure. Now that you're going to be experimenting with it my suggestion is to try something that I never got around to. Since the problem is that the layers aren't bonded to each other as well as to themselves I used to wonder if the plastic could be "stitched" together by having the nozzle move up and down as it extrudes. That way one layer will have bits that dip down and spread out in/under lower layers so that they're hooked together. You can also do post-processing like using acetone (for ABS) to weld the outer surfaces together, or wrapping the printed part, or just using the printed part as a negative for a mold.
Oh, hey, another thing to think about is that if you're going to make parts where the most important dimensions are round you could use a printer that has a rotating bed instead of all the motion being perpendicular.
Thanks Matt for all the great links. I will be catching up on all of these ASAP.

HK Disneyland: Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars (Video)
HK-Macau 2013 Report (Part 4, Disneyland)
Disneyland Tickets Since we went straight to Macau from HKIA, I had to look for another way of securing discounted Disneyland tickets other than China Travel Services (CTS). I bought tickets online using www.hotelinhongkong.net for HKD 370 each. For comparison, buying a ticket from park would cost HKD 450. This is also cheaper than the HKD 388…
HK-Macau 2013 (Part 2, Macau-side Tourist Spots| Wharney Guang Dong Hotel)
We started day 2 of our Macau-HK trip by having breakfast in our hotel. Our hotel booking does not include one but we just bought breakfast coupons upon realizing that it would eat too much time trying to find a decent and affordable breakfast. Although there's limited options, it's enough to give us enough energy…
Hong Kong 2012 (Part 4, Nan Lian Garden and Chi Lin Nunnery)
Are you a fan of old architectures? Do you just wanna have a leisurely walk in park? Do you also want to have a last-minute shopping? I have the right destination for you! Well, if you're in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong 2012 (Part 3, Ocean Park)
Until the entry of Disneyland in 2005, Ocean Park is the premier theme park destination in Hong Kong. Although it was established in 1970's, the park is still well-maintained and remains to be a must-see attraction for HK first-timers and thrill-seeking visitors.
Hong Kong 2012 (Part 2, Hong Kong Disneyland)
It was a Saturday. After having our breakfast at Casa Hotel's diner, we took the train to go to HK Disneyland!!!! Thank goodness HK Disneyland is very accessible. Unlike Walt Disney World in Orlando (which is in the middle of nowhere), it only took us two interchange station to get to HK Disneyland. From Yau Ma Tei station, we took the red line train and alighted at Lai King station, we next took the Tung Chung line train and alighted at Sunny Bay station. Then we crossed to the other side where the Disney train is waiting for us!! It was quite a short ride, we were busy taking pictures and then suddenly the train is coming to a stop. We've arrived at the happiest place on earth!!! It's my second Disneyland visit but it still feels like the first time, the magic is still there! Mickey, with his arms wide open, greeted me with a smile as if saying "Welcome back!".
