Funny thing about Tetris Attack: It has absolutely nothing to do with Tetris! Yet this small snag does not stop it from being one the best puzzle games on the system! There is just something so addictive, so FUN about this game that you will not be able to stop playing it. Forget Street Fighter 2 Turbo, THIS was the multiplayer game I played the most! But enough of my gushing! You are probably ready to hear about the game, and what makes it so good.
Tetris Attack began its existence as Panel de Pon, a Japanese exclusive puzzler released on the Super Famicom in 1995. Fearing that western audiences would not 'get' a puzzle game featuring cutesy little fairy girls, developer Intelligent Systems decided to put a Yoshi skin and story on the game and licensed the name from the Tetris company, a move they are later said to have regretted. About one year later, Tetris Attack was reborn in North America!
So what's so great about it? As a game concept you couldn't get much simpler. You move the colored panels side by side to match up three or more. When this happens, the blocks disappear. The goal in doing this will vary greatly depending on what type of game you are playing. And that is Tetris Attack's greatest strength. Within this puzzle package is a little something for everyone! Do you like traditional puzzles? Try Puzzle Mode which offers sixty puzzles that task you with clearing the board with a limited set of moves. This is my favorite single player mode, and it really makes you think in ways you never consider in the other modes of play. Or perhaps you prefer the pressure of a limited amount of time ala Tetris? Try Level Mode which plays the game through six rounds as the speed steadily increases. Finally there is versus mode, which is the meat of the game. Here Yoshi embarks on a quest to save his friends and defeat the evil Bowser. In this mode, the blocks you get rid of become lump blocks on your opponent's side, which are tougher to get rid of. The more blocks you can get rid of in one move, the bigger the lump box is. It sounds simple, but it is surprisingly deep and addictive. The enemies later on get downright devious, and that is not even counting the insanely fast and furious battles with Bowser which I have still yet to conquer.
The multiplayer versus is identical to the single-player, and the one I spent countless college nights playing with others. Trust me when I say delivering a massive garbage block to an opponent as they are moments away from losing is one of the SNES's greatest moments. As good as the single player experience can be, I always had more fun with others during versus action. A.I. can never equal the thrill of besting a friend (or enemy). Here's something you can no longer do in the online-centric world of modern gaming: Next time your opponent is gloating and running his mouth, unplug his controller when they're not looking! That'll teach em!
Tetris Attack also scores major points by being one of the few puzzle games that pays attention to details outside of gameplay. How many puzzle games can honestly claim to be synonymous with the word gorgeous? Tetris is hauntingly addictive, but to describe it as anything beyond visually functional would be a bit of a stretch. By contrast, Tetris Attack's background boards are colorful, vibrant, and full of character. Each one has a distinctive feel, and there is always something going on in the background that threatens to distract you.
The music is also a strong point. I love how it starts with a calm melody, then changes as the board fills up to become more frantic to match the pace. You can FEEL the music speeding up to match your thinking as you try to avoid a game over. I also like the little touches like providing unique sound effects depending on the board. For instance, if you score a combo on the Frog's board, you will hear him ribbet. Things like these provide a tactile vibe to the game that all good puzzle games provide.
With numerous game modes, multiplayer ability, stellar graphics and sound, this game comes standard with all the polish and care you expect out of Nintendo. It even has secrets like a hidden difficulty setting and an extra round of puzzles in the puzzle mode! As a side note, I have also played Panel de Pon, and aside from the Yoshi face-lift, it has the same care as its North American twin. Just swap Yoshi's Island characters for fairy girls and monsters. Whichever version you play, remember to turn it off and get some sleep once in a while … you'll play better.

Mainboard: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodd ... od_no=1485
AMI Bios
I'm trying to use 2 graphics cards in this mainboard: ATI 5970 in PCI-E Slot 1 and Nvidia GTX 280 in Slot 2. I would like the ATI card to be the primary graphics card but for some reason the bios always sets the Nvidia card to be the primary graphics adapter.
There is an option in the bios called "Primary Graphic's Adapter" but I can only choose between "PCI" and "PCI-E".
Is there a way to force the bios to always use the graphics card in slot 1 as primary graphics adapter? Other mainboards with AMI bios even allow you to choose between "PCI-E Slot 1 " and "PCI-E Slot 2", maybe this could be added to the bios?

What happens if you physically swap the cards, does it still behave the same?

Celebrity March Madness: Beyonce Vs. Selena & Taylor Swift Vs. Emma Watson — Vote
The 2017 NCAA Tournaments have wrapped up but HollywoodLife.com's Celebrity March Madness is not done yet! Beyonce battles Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift takes on Emma Watson in the Final Four, so vote for the stars you want to make it to the championship match!
And then there were four. As March Madness has turned into April Anarchy, the Hollywood Life Celebrity March Madness is racing towards the finish. Beyonce, 35, looks to finish off Selena Gomez, 24, while Taylor Swift, 27, takes on Emma Watson, 26. Is Queen Bey headed for an upset similar to UConn's shocking loss to Mississippi State? Can Taylor pull off a UNC and defeat Emma?
Only two of these fierce competitors will face off in the final, so it's up to YOU to pick your favorites. Make your picks below and come back to see which queen will advance to the championship vote on April 7.
Elite 8 March Madness — See Pics Of The March Madness Highlights
Beyonce Vs. Selena Gomez
It's been smooth sailing for Queen Bey through this tournament. She dominated the vote with Khloe Kardashian, 32, before going on to defeat Nina Dobrev, 28, and Jennifer Lopez, 47, in the Sweet 16 and Elite 8. However, Bey hasn't faced someone as popular (at least, in terms of this tournament) as Selena. While Bey's 76% victory over Khloe is impressive, Selena managed to score 80% of the vote over Miley Cyrus, 24. Sel dominated the Battle of the Disney stars. She easily dispatched Nicki Minaj, 34, and Gigi Hadid, 21. Could Sel knock out Queen Bey en route to the crown?
[interaction id="58e3fc7147afc37b3b046d01″]
Taylor Swift Vs. Emma Watson
If Selena successfully sinks Beyonce, will it be a "Squad Vs. Squad" final? Taylor, arguably the No. 2 seed in the Real Conference, had the power of the vote behind her, as she surpassed Rihanna, 29, Kylie Jenner, 19, and Zayn Malik, 24, with relative ease.
[interaction id="58e3fd3d47afc37b3b046d05″]
On the other side stands Emma, in what many could call the "Cinderella Story" (or in this case, the "Beauty & The Beast" story) of the tournament. Both Justin Bieber, 23, and Kanye West, 39, the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds of the Swag Conference, exited the competition early. Emma soared past Remy Ma, Milo Ventimigila, 39, and Liam Hemsworth, 27. Yet, Emma hasn't faced anyone like Taylor in this competition. Will the Swifties put Tay in the final or will Emma's magic keep the fairy tale going?
Which two stars do you want to win, HollywoodLifers? Don't forget to vote!

Pretty much every PC game is anxiously waiting for Warner Bros. to release the much awaited patch for Batman Arkham Knight on PC that will resolve all the issues that the game is plagued with. The patch was supposed to come out in August, however, it faced a little delay. However, the patch made a little appearance on Steam today but it was pulled from the servers later on; those who managed to get the patch and use it reported that the game runs on a much smoother frame-rate as compared to the initial release and the users with GTX 970 can max out the game while maintaining the frame-rate in 50-70.
Sadly, the patch didn't last longer on Steam but we managed to get a hold of the screenshot showing the new additions in the patch. Seems like Warner Bros. kept there promise and introduced a wide range of graphical settings that were missing from the game. You can checkout the screenshot below and tell us what you think.

I excused myself from work today and headed down to Atlantis Pavilions at Ontario Place to participate in the Wii Public Preview. I think this is the only event of its kind since I couldn't find much more info about it. Anyways, the instructions said the the lineup starts at 11AM, with the doors opening at 1:30PM. I headed down and started lining up at noon, and the line wasn't too long. There were a variety of people there, kids, adults, and students like me. Everyone brought their DS with them and they were playing wifi something.
While in line, I saw lots of people leaving. There was a press version of the event in the morning and so all sorts of TV stations, magazines and random people came out with a Wii bag (apparently with a t-shirt) and other swag. Some Nintendo people also came out and tossed a couple of impossible trivia questions for prizes (I think they were head-of-the-line tickets). Do you what Ganadorf's last name is? I don't. People walking by also took some videos of the people in line, so I might appear on the web somewhere in the next few days.
So two and a half hours later, at 2:30PM, I finally made it in. There were 25-30 Wiis setup with various games on them, some multiplayer. They let in about 100 people at a time, so you never had to line up for very long. The first game I played was Boxing. For Boxing, you strap the Wiimote in your right hand (and they were adamant about this, maybe they saw heard about what happened at IGN), the Nunchaku in your left (or whatever your jab hand is), and use them as if they're boxing gloves. So to punch, you actually punch your hands, and you can move your hands up to block your face, and etc. I got the hang of it in a few minutes and it was pretty fun. I was wondering how they could detect movement in both hands if only the Wiimote had a sensor. I think I have it figured out.
Next I moved on the Rampage because there was no one there. This game was pretty dumb, with the only Wii benefit being that you can swing your Wiimote around to do special moves. I moved on to play Zelda, and again this was pretty boring. I think the problem was that the demo was situated within a village so all I did was walk around, talk to people, and climb ladders.
I played Wii Tennis next. This was pretty basic but fun. Like boxing, you never have to use any of the buttons so you just move your Wiimote around like a racket. Your player avatar automatically moves into position to hit the ball, so all you have to do is hit it at the right time. Unlike Virtua Tennis, when you hit the ball, it's not guaranteed to land in the court; so timing is essential. I did one crazy serve that smoked my opponent so there is some intricacies for gosu-ness in the game.
Next, I lined up for Ultimate Alliance since it was a game that featured all the heroes in the Marvel universe. I watched the guy in front of me play for a bit and it seemed pretty dumb; just like your normal adventure game. It seems to me that the release titles (aside from the sports) are using Wiimote actions like additional buttons rather than being intuitive (like the sports).
The last game I tried was Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. I wanted to play this because I have Super Monkey Ball 2 on Gamecube. Visually, the game looks almost identical, although the levels I played had a makeover with more pink and flamingos. The controls are pretty basic, tilt down to speed up and up to slow down, tilt left to bank left and tilt right to bank right. Think of it as gripping a real joystick instead of the analog controller.
One problem I had with the Wiimote in general was that using it as a light gun to navigate menus was hard. The cursor would jump all over the place. The controls for Super Monkey Ball however were tight, which I could tell since I was familiar with the game and knew how to control my Monkey Ball. There was a new type of level where you would fight a boss, which was new (and difficult). I don't think that upgrade would be worth buying this game.
I wanted to try a driving game (Excite Truck or NFS: Carbon) and a fighting game, but I didn't have time. Baseball and bowling also seemed interesting, but judging from the other sport games I tried, I figured they would be pretty good/fun. In fact, I think the only game I would "buy" would be Wii Sports if I were to get a Wii; which means I should probably wait until better games come out.
The only swag that we received was a DVD describing the Wii (with a sticker on the front saying that the Canadian MSRP is $279.95). There was also a life sized sculpture of Link at the front which attracted a lot of photographs.

A thrilling burst of hitting by Andre Russell carried the West Indies to a one-wicket win over South Africa in the fourth one-day international at St George's Park on Sunday.
Half-centuries by Marlon Samuels, Darren Sammy and Russell trumped a maiden international century by South Africa's David Miller as the tourists chased down a victory target of 263 with nine balls to spare.
The West Indies gained their first win in the five-match series after they several times looked doomed to defeat.
They lost their first five wickets for 73 runs against what effectively was a second string South African attack before Samuels (68) and Sammy (51) put on 93 for the sixth wicket.
But South Africa were favourites again when both partners were out with 74 needed off 64 balls with only three wickets standing.
Russell was striking the ball well but skipper Jason Holder was caught off a full toss and Carlos Brathwaite was run out off the first ball of the 48th over to leave the tourists needing 24 off 17 balls with the last man at the wicket.
Sheldon Cottrell was able to steal a single and Russell hit sixes off the next two balls from left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso, then was able to get the strike to hit a four and a six off Kyle Abbott to finish the match.
He made 64 not out off 40 balls with five fours and five sixes.
"It means a lot," said Holder. "We have had a tough tour, so to get across the line in this match is very special."
It was a cruel result for the left-handed Miller, who made 130 not out and was responsible for a run-out and a leaping catch.
Miller came in with his side struggling at 32 for three in the seventh over. It became 76 for four when captain AB de Villiers was out for 19.
JP Duminy helped Miller add 90 for the fifth wicket but it was hard going for South Africa against a much-improved West Indian bowling performance on a slow pitch which offered some seam movement.
Renowned for his big hitting at the end of an innings, Miller showed he could play a long, responsible innings as he reached his century off 122 balls with nine fours before launching an assault in which he added two more fours and three sixes off the last 11 balls he faced before the innings came to an end.
South Africa rested first-choice bowlers Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and Imran Tahir to give their other World Cup squad members an opportunity, but they could not halt the West Indian late charge.
"We bowled some bad balls at the wrong time," said De Villiers.
The final match of the series is on Wednesday at Centurion.

I'm attempting to display related non-spatial records from a line feature class and a point feature class hosted in AGOL from a custom Xamarin Forms UWP app built with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET v100.4. When viewing the related records in AGOL (on both the line and point feature classes) the related data is displayed as expected.
My problem is, my code will display the related records from my line feature class, but I cannot get the related records to display from the point feature class. It is using the same code in both cases, both feature classes and the related tables are added to the map and the relationships are setup identical to each other, just between two different feature classes and tables.
Has anyone else had an issue with this?

I'm a yarn ho.
My husband says I need a twelve-step program for my addiction. I tell him that's ridiculous. I can quit any time I want to.
I just don't want to.
I've taught a number of people to knit and crochet over the years, and I've discovered that my students have all fallen into one of two discrete categories: those who never even completed their first potholder because they simply didn't get that into it, and those whose eyes take on the rabid glaze of a malnourished wolf cresting a hill overlooking a valley filled with thousands of plump, bleating, un-shepherded sheep.
Must. Have. More. Wool.
Idle Hands Are the Devil's Playground. (I.e., I Am Utterly Unable to Sit Still and Do Nothing.)
It's a visceral thing, this need to make. The deep and ravenous yearnings of a yarn ho are temporarily satisfied only by endless lengths of fuzzy fiber passing through the fingertips, inch by inch, twirling into intricate slipknots that fall off the smooth, cool hook or needles into swelling waves of gorgeous fabric.
The first five words of the Bible sum it up: In the beginning God created. And we're infused with that same ache to make, whether it's buildings or bridges, prose or poetry, theses or theorems, canvases or carvings, movies or magic.
Or sweaters, scarves, and socks.
I Lie Like a Single-Stitched, Torn-Calico Rug.
Telling my family I'm going to pop into the yarn store for "just a sec" is a blatant and shameless untruth of heroic magnitude, and every one of us knows it. The gourmand can't stop after one potato chip. The boozehound never says "Whoa, Nelly" after the first bottle. And the yarn ho doesn't walk away till she's seen and touched and maybe even smelled and rubbed against her cheek every luscious skein in the store. Twice.
And when I tell Hubby, "I just want to finish this row before I come to bed," what I really mean is, "Don't wait up."
Hos hoard.
Like any self-respecting junkie, I keep a stash. I have shelves, drawers, boxes filled with the stuff, in every color of the rainbow, and nearly every weight and fiber content ever manufactured. I could, at this very moment, make an amigurumi bearded dragon, a pair of size 25 clown socks, or a Cabbage Patch Kids chemo wig, without ever leaving my house. If the apocalypse or TEOTWAWKI occurred, I might starve to death or slowly desiccate from liquid deprivation, but I could knit my own body bag and crochet a virgin wool, Tunisian-stitch pillow cover to accompany it.
If I Love You I Will Clothe You.
Greater love hath no yarn ho than this: that she sacrifices her wool stock for her friends. I'll spend $30.00 on yarn to spend 40 hours making an item that you'd spend $150.00 to buy in a store. Because I love you. I sweater my children, sock my buddies, and afghan new babies and brides.
And I occasionally cross the line into WWGM (What Would Grandma Make?) territory.
I Am Terrified of Channeling Grandma.
My grandmother was a dear and lovely and generous woman. Who made some hideously kitsch crap:
She'd glue seashells onto the oval dome-cups of pastel Styrofoam egg cartons, then attach a dozen or so cartons together in cylindrical shapes to form lampshades. Which she used.
Yarn-embroidered plastic canvas was her go-to answer for everything: toilet-paper snuggies, covered-brick doorstops, Christmas ornaments.
No combination of colors—purple and teal, orange and fuchsia, black and gold and celadon—proved too garish to be woven into placemats, napkin rings, or teapot cozies.
Every time I give a hand-stitched gift I search the recipient's face for traces of my own birthdays and Christmases past: "Thanks, Grandma. I've always wanted a… yarn-covered, Styrofoam, beaded disco ball?"
Grandma was into yarn-bombing before yarn-bombing even became a thing.

(Love you, Grandma. Rest in peace.)
I'm Scared There's No Yarn in the Afterlife.
A number of things disturb me about heaven, as described in the Bible. There's no nighttime, and in fact, no darkness. I kind of like the moon and the stars and candlelight and the way the night smells different than the day.
Marriage will no longer exist. Most of the time that makes me really sad. There are moments, however… never mind.
And there's nothing in the Word about A.C. Moore, Hobby Lobby, or Michael's stores in heaven. But the Bible talks a lot about lambs, especially in Revelation. And lambs produce wool. So, logically…
Oh, God, please. Please don't ask me to spend eternity without yarn implements. I'll die.

Diane Hamilton
Well, I mean… I guess I'll already be dead. But…
Keep the harp; just give me some alpaca.
So There It Is: I'm a Yarn Ho.
I'm the woman trying to count stitches with her fingertips as her child passes the bleachers, in possession of the ball, yelling, "Watch me, Mom!" because he knows the odds are good that Mom's attending to her blanket's emerging picot border instead.
I'm the selfish shotgun passenger who makes her husband drive every single hour of every single road trip, because her nerves get frazzled by all the screaming in the car when she works both the steering wheel and the circular knitting needles simultaneously. (Everyone multitasks these days. Chill, people.)
And I'm the woman staring with the rabidly glazed eyes of a ravenous wolf at your lace shawl, or your husband's Coogi sweater, or your toddler's knitted Rapunzel hat. I'm not a stalker or a home wrecker or a child abductor; I'm just thinking, Oh, yeah. I could make that.
I'm At Peace With My Addiction.
I could have so many worse problems than jonesing after yarn.
Okay, I probably do have a number of other problems, but that's beside the point.
My obsession hurts no one: it relieves fleeced creatures of their winter coats when such coats are no longer desirable; it produces beautiful and functional apparel and accessories; and it pairs nicely with my husband's obsession for watching corny martials arts flicks, military history movies, and engineering/technology documentaries. "Wasn't that weld-by-bolt-by-screw analysis of the construction of the Alaskan oil pipeline fascinating?" the man asks. In complete earnestness.
"Yes, dear," I lie. "Now go ahead and hit the sack. I'll be up after I finish this row."

Growing up in Idaho, life for Ryan Hamilton must have looked identical to a Norman Rockwell painting. But thank golly it did because those wholesome roots have helped Ryan awe audiences with charismatic and clean material. His standout appearances on Conan and Last Comic Standing, has helped Ryan establish himself as the funniest nice guy in comedy. Though he looks like he should be selling ice cream in the 1950's and not on stage killing a at a run of Off JFL shows—that is precisely what you can expect.

What started off as a sneaky idea over a beer following a one day ride quickly escalated to reality over night. The magnificent five were booked up and ready to take on 250 miles from Paris back to our home town of Rayleigh.
The tour, dubbed 'Le Tour de Rayleigh' would be done over three days, covering over 80 miles per day and cutting through some of the most picturesque destinations that France and south east UK had to offer. Magnificent five consisted of: Myself, David Gittings, Chris Bruns, Marcus Bugg and Michael Gittings.
Day One – Thursday 24 July
At midday the five of us met outside Rayleigh train station, and normal banter commenced as I was ridiculed for packing twice as much as everyone else. My priorities, to be in clean clothes after cycling each day. This was not shared by the group.
On the train, we started perhaps the most stressful part of the whole journey. Midday Thursday and the train was packed with a variety of people, however they all shared a mutual hatred for cyclists. Thankfully we got off at Liverpool Street and made the educated decision to cycle to St Pancras. One Eurostar trip later and some fatty train snacks and we were in Paris. Next Challenge…getting to the hotel!
At this point we realised two things:
- Car Garmin's are a lot easier to follow than Bike Garmin's
- There are a lot of one way roads in Paris
Result – one hour and 10 miles later we arrived at our awesome abode. A bad putt away from the Eiffel Tower, and there we proceeded with the mandatory 'tower' snap. An amazing dinner followed and a treasure hunt for cheap water. By midnight we were all tucked up and freaking out about what lay ahead. Then Chris started snoring, not ideal, but eventually I got some shut eye.
Day two – Friday 25 July
'Dooms day' – simply put, getting out of Paris on a bike is not easy. Traffic, cycling on the right, traffic lights, Garmins freaking out, these all contributed to our 1.5hours to travel barely 10 miles. We missed most the sites we had planned to see, however eventually the smog cleared and regal houses appeared on top of the green flowered hills, I'm not lying check out the picture! We were out of Paris, and I think all of us knew the real journey started now.
One issue though, a 10 percent incline up cobbles! The first real climb of the day. It's important to point out though, these are not nicely laid stones, these are harsh, demon like cobbles – unticked Paris Roubaix off my bucket list!
Thankfully it wasn't as bad as it looked and we all cruised up and onto the village, where we found ourselves lost again. We also discovered that French people in this particular village must be very prone to sickness, as there were about 10 pharmacies in the space of half a kilometre.
The rest of the day was filled with amazing forests and nature reserves; we also noticed that the French drivers were incredibly courteous in comparison to the British. With the European sun beaming on our faces, and the flat smooth roads under us we cruised onto 50miles. Then out of nowhere an unexpected surprise…
A 1km stretch of road with a gradient of 18 percent! For those not in the know, that is steep – Tour de France steep. Four walked but one struggled through and rode to the top. I don't mean to brag – actually I do as it was me! I was given the accolade of king of the mountain, barely a mountain though, but I took the compliment.
Shortly after the climb we realised that skipping lunch and relying on gels and protein bars was a mistake. The afternoon dragged and all of us found ourselves in pretty dark places emotionally. Legs were tired, moods dropped and the finish didn't seem to ever get closer. Finally after hours in the saddle we eventually arrived at Lallandelle.
The group learnt some harsh lessons and spirits were definitely low…until we met our B&B host Mary the Magnificent. Mary quickly shipped our bikes into the garage, fitted with bike racks and a pump, and got us sorted in our amazing bedrooms. She practically forced us to give her our dirty clothes which she washed ready for day two.
She then got us all beers, followed by appetizers and homemade cider in her immensely beautiful garden. Following this was one of the best four course meals I have ever had. Worth noting at this point that Mary is a genius at cooking and making jams. French wine was a must and given to us by the bottle, suddenly it felt like a holiday and not a task or chore.
With our bellies full up we set off for bed, but the day still had one last twist. Yelling from the other room, then fits of laughter, Mike had stood on a wasp. And with that the day was done.
Day three – Saturday 26 July
Hmm, why am I not in agony? With the lessons learnt from Day two we headed off early with clear goals:
- 25 miles before any stopping
- 50 miles until lunch and then
- a massive push to the finish
We set off in a dull mist and quickly came up to our first descent of the day… followed quickly by another. We had now realised that Marcus was both skilled on the bike at pace but also a little fearless. Clocking 60mph at stages going down these hills the first part of the day cruised past. 20 miles in a shade over an hour. Games and chat commenced as the pace slowed slightly, but between all of us was a sense of relief for a number of reasons.
- We were moving quickly
- Our bottoms were not too sore
- We might get to the end with some time to properly chill out
Something worth saying about France is that their cycle paths are amazing, we travelled on these at pace for miles. They have regular water stops, bathrooms, friendly locals and epic scenery. Before we knew it lunch had arrived. Although there was one small problem, the waitress only spoke French, so we had to go 'Lehman' with the ordering. Cue five coca colas and five cheese omelettes.
Post lunch and feeling a little sluggish, we set off. We then missed two turns and climbed a fairly decent hill. Then a mammoth hill came out of nowhere. Feeling slightly heroic and living off the accolades from yesterday I flew up the hill. It became a trend over the day to come, me up first and Marcus down first. The rest of the day was our adventure down to sea level, good pace and happy faces, as well as some artistic photography. We snuck past two wicked lakes, and finally entered Dieppe, described by a friend as the Blackpool of France.
Getting to the hotel, we were in high spirits. The hotel itself was a bit of a dive, but for 20 odd quid a night I wasn't expecting the royal treatment. Five pizzas, a few celebratory beers, an early night and France touring had come to an end. Tomorrow we were back home, and a couple of surprises were waiting at Newhaven.
Day four – Sunday 27 July
England the land of Hills? The ferry trip was an experience. We found ourselves tucked up on cinema type seats trying to get some shut eye after a 03:30 wake up. Chris and I succeeded but the others failed dismally. Not too much of a problem as a full English was waiting for us to get the energy levels back up.
Heading off the ferry we knew our spirits would be lifted by the arrival of Lisa with a bike pump (I cannot stress enough the excitement of having a foot pump) and treats, as well as Ray 'the legend' Bias, who would be cycling the last leg with us. Ray had also brought pages of inspirational quotes written out for us, one for every six miles (as I said, legend).
So we rode on the newly formed group of six and went off at quite a pace, 20mph average to be exact. We'd heard the last leg over the South Downs was notoriously hilly, so we wanted to cover as much ground as possible upfront while the going was still relatively flat.
The hills soon arrived and they were awesome. Long 5-10 percents covering kilometre after kilometre – my ideal cycling terrain, as I tend to get bored with tedious straight flat roads. The others didn't share my enthusiasm and rightly so, as the going was tough.
Hours later we stopped for water in a wicked local town (name unknown). The store owner found it funny that we were all dressed the same, I didn't bother explaining, you can tell when someone would care less. The hills didn't stop after that, in fact we hit the biggest one at about 13:30. But once we peaked, the cracks started to show. After two and a half days of cycling the first real worry set in.
Mike looked in a state, his face pale, his lips cracking and generally broken. A quick descent, and the round table formed to discuss while Mike was lagging. The group decided to speak to him and check he was good, suggesting exit plans and expressing our worry. Dave his brother started the chat, Mikes response was anger (ah, relief!) It might not seem it, but it was the perfect scenario. We knew there was still plenty of life in him, if you have enough energy for anger you have enough energy for 40 more miles.
Dartford Crossing was an experience, near impossible to find, but once we got to the stop it was smooth. Picked up by a shuttle service, you strap your bike to the car and they drive you through. A couple lessons learnt though: The crossing has plently of secret paths going off it. There's mental security and it makes a lot of money.
With the crossing done it meant that Ray's 'inspire the group project' was complete, and our new chaperone took over. Vince dragged us home for the final 25 miles, although Ray helped by falling off for the third time in one day (between the five of us on the ride, only I fell off once over the three days).
10 miles from home the reality sunk in of how far we had travelled, faces lit up and the pace snuck up a little too. That was until the last hill just outside Basildon. This beast was met with the determination of a bed of sloths in the midday sun, it was our Everest. Eventually we found our way up, and at the top we were met with the relief of less than 10 miles to go.
The celebratory final kilometers commenced and the excitement was clear. It was done, the only stress was finding out which gate the final destination we needed to come through.
Entering the park, we expected a handful of friends… what we had was 100's of people cheering us on! I'll be honest, it was awesome and completely unexpected. Feeling half embarrassed and half like a hero, we knew we had done it.
Paris to Rayleigh, we were the first and probably the last, mainly because no-one will find Rayleigh a suitable place to end such a challenge. The memories will last for ages.
Now it's down to planning the next trip! If you would like to sponsor me for my 1000 mile year please visit my Just Giving page.

We've worked with Pho for a long time and have seen them grow from a few small spots into a spectacular gastro group. Alongside their steady expansion came the need for a bigger, better website and mobile site that are better suited to their 25+ locations.
We were tasked with keeping the design for their updated site reflective of their fresh, friendly and healthy vibe, and sustaining a sense of discovery for new customers who want to learn all about pho and the other delicious Vietnamese treats on offer.
Driving bookings and encouraging walk-ins, promoting new site openings and making nutritional data easy to find and consider were also key aspects of the re-design.

The United States court system of family law takes child custody very seriously, and they consider all aspects of the child's wellbeing when making a decision that affects the family. Since a parent's criminal history can complicate the child's life, the courts focus on the types of crimes to make determinations about what is in the best interest of the child.
Table of Contents
How Does Criminal History Affect Custody?
When a judge makes decisions about the custody of a child, and one or both parents have criminal convictions, they will factor in all the details such as:
- The length of time since the conviction(s).
- If there were repeated offenses.
- The types of crimes. If they were violent or damaging to the child.
- Who the victims of the crime were.
- The sentencing received for the offense (s).
If you have a history of violent behavior even if not within your own family, a judge may consider you to be a danger to the child and revoke your custody. If you have a string of arrests for drug or alcohol abuse, this may indicate a more significant problem and again, be a risky environment for a child.
If you have hurt your child physically or emotionally in the past, a court may even limit visitation or require supervision. The idea being if you hurt them once, you have the potential to do so again.
If your criminal offenses took place in the past and you have maintained a clean lifestyle since then with no further convictions, the courts are more likely to look positively on your situation. If you have more recent convictions, a judge may look more harshly at those.
Frequent and repeat offenses indicate a likelihood of continuation of bad behavior and a judge will not place a child in your custody without serious reservations.
Types of Offenses that Affect Child Custody Cases
Convictions such as assault, domestic violence, battery, weapons charges, stalking, and drug offenses are a significant concern for the courts when deciding upon custody and visitation. These offenses indicate an unsafe environment for the child and can seriously affect your custody rights.
Sex crimes are even more damaging and will almost certainly affect your child custody, regardless of the circumstances. There is a strong stigma associated with sexual offenses. It will be tough for you to wash that off and convince a judge that you are a fit parent for your child.
Types of Offenses that Don't Effect the Child's Best Interest
Crimes unrelated to a person's ability to care for a child are less likely to affect your custody battle. For example, a misdemeanor for a petty offense like shoplifting, writing a bad check, or possession of a stolen item are things that do not put the child in any immediate danger, and the court may dismiss them as unrelated to custody.
The bottom line is the court is concerned about the happiness, health, and wellbeing of the child. If anything affects that including the environment they live in, their visitation and custody arrangements, the court must act on behalf of the child's best interest.
Although a single offense DUI may seem unrelated it can indicate to a judge your lack of ability to make good decisions, and it may put the child in danger if you drive while intoxicated with them in the car.
Will Criminal Records of Relatives Affect Child Custody?
Depending on the living situation of the parent in question, the court will consider relatives as a potential danger or not. If the parent does not associate with those relatives and does not live with them, then they probably don't pose a threat to the child. The parent's behavior is a motivating factor. Because a parent may have relatives who have had trouble with the law, does not mean they are unfit or undeserving or custody or visitation with their children.
Family courts take every single factor into account when determining proper custody and visitation. Nothing will be overlooked to ensure the child has the best opportunity for a healthy, happy living situation.

When I was a kid growing up in Lexington, Massachusetts, every year 'round Christmastime our whole town (or so it seemed to me) came piling into Cary Hall to sing together a rather long choral piece called
or so it was known to me, Julie, little kid version. I sang soprano or alto or whatever I felt like singing. I figured we were all there to have fun. I was right. Lexington hadn't gone through The Big Transformation yet. That happened after I took off, many years later.
Handel's Messiah is the story of Jesus, meaning that in no way was I supposed to ever ever ever sing any of it according to my dad. He was never thrilled that I was going to those big town events. What did he expect? Hanukkah Sing? Since the Big Transformation, I wonder if Lexington has now banned anything but the very very very multi-culutural perfectly sterile and balanced PC correct non-God or many-and-varied-god whatever. Maybe the Jewish families, at that point, just figured the heck with it, stayed home, and did their best not to burn their houses down with those last drops of oil…then again….It's the New Lexington, so I'm sure there's plenty of oil there.
So I was a little kid what I went to go sing and Handel's Messiah, or the Messiah Sing, as we often called it. I remember every year it was freezing out and folks would come in, take off their hats, scarves, and mittens, and then blow snots all over everywhere. It wasn't the worst thing in the world. Coming down with a cold wasn't the End Of The World back in those days. People were allowed sicknesses without some do-gooder coming in making
The crooked straight
all the time….because frankly
So here's what I was thinking just a few minutes ago:
What a message! Handel orchestrated that one well. We'd bellow out, "ALL WE LIKE SHEEP." Yeah, made that one loud and clear. Then, the next line,
"Have gone astray….." Trust me, that "astray" sure wandered everywhere, down the streets of Lexington, into Waltham, down every hill and invaded all the baseball games and wrecked the fields and tore down the endposts and barreled into the bleachers. Then, "astray" flew up and floated over the Moon. Yep, like that ole cow you saw on TV that comes from a nursery rhyme (it was stolen). Couldn't you hardly wait to see that cow each time?
So "astray," that's gone far, eh?
I invite each and every one of you, if you are a sheep, please, please please,
Do bust loose today, and go as far astray as you possibly can! Handel had it right all along!
Love, Julie

text: jacobsmom 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2006 I am extremely desperate for some advice. My 9 year old son had tics and all of the classic symptoms and disorders associated with Tourettes which started about a year ago. His strep titers have been elevated ever since upon my insistence we test him for high strep antibodies but we can not find a doctor in Colorado who recognizes PANDAS as a valid diagnosis or anyone who knows how to treat PANDAS. I do not know where to start. His ped did agree to a two week treatment of antibiotics but it did not lower his strep titers at all. His throat culters are negative and he won't put him on any more antibiotics. I see that there are other parents out there with a child with PANDAS and I am so glad to see I am not alone. How do I know that his Tourettes is PANDAS? Just by the high antibody titers? Is there another diagnostic test I can be requesting? Are there any treatments for PANDAS? And most importantly... Who should I take him to see? We have been to two neurologists who do not treat or test for PANDAS, his pediatrician who has never seen a PANDAS case, a psychologist, we will be starting cognitive behavioral therapy this month, and have an apt to see an environmental physician next month. Maybe we should get all of our families throats cultured? He has not had a positive throat culture. The infection that he had around the time of the tics was in his finger. Any information or suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much. Amy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Principal Investigator
Adolescent suicide is a problem of public concern, and it is the second-most frequent cause of death in populations aged 15-29 around the world. Research has thoroughly identified the primary risk factors for suicides by young people, and it highlights the need to develop specific actions for youth in residential treatment. This research particularly indicates mental health care as a key factor, because this population shows high indexes of psychopathology indicators along with a confluence of other risk factors, which has a cumulative effect and makes them especially vulnerable. Our proposal is an innovative model of Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy (AAP) in which shelter dogs that have had traumatic experiences and need reeducation are integrated, thus providing a double rehabilitation function. This program provides unique opportunities in which young people in treatment have a bond with these animals, along with a public benefit, because dog abandonment and animal shelter overcrowding are also problems of public concern in many developed countries.
Objective 1: preventing suicide by adolescents in residential care by reducing risk factors associated with a higher risk of suicide, and by enhancing protective factors.
Objective 2: promoting the well-being and increasing the adoption possibilities for shelter dogs with behavioral and/or psychological problems.
Hypothesis 1: the participants will show lower rates of risk factors for suicide, increased protective factors and lower rates of attempted or committed suicide during the follow-up period.

I'm eating a blue corn quesadilla. It's magnificent, from the nutty, chewy tortilla packed full of perfectly piquant ingredients, to the smattering of tangy pickled onions perched on top.
I cut it in half, and golden cheese gently oozes out in all its mouth-coating glory. It's the kind of good that brings a blissful smile to my face; the kind of good that means I eat the rest of it slowly, in tiny mouthfuls, so that I can savour it for as long as possible.
This doesn't taste, look, or feel like vegan food, from the jackfruit pulled 'meat' to the melted 'cheese', improbably made with coconut. But then none of tonight's dinner does. I've hoovered up paprika-spiked 'chicken' wings; scoffed a to-fish taco that tastes of the sea; and devoured a tortilla topped with 'carne' asada, which even has a bit of charring on the 'meat' that gives it flavour, all at Club Mexicana, the vegan kitchen currently in residence at Pamela in Dalston. Full disclosure: I'm not vegan, although I choose to eat as ethically as possible, buying sustainably sourced, largely vegetable-based produce.
This food is flavour-packed, colourful and satisfying – streets away from both the 'plant-based' eating at the forefront of current healthy-eating trends, and the prevailing idea that vegan food is boring, bland and beige.
And that, Club Mexicana's co-founder Meriel Armitage tells me, is exactly the point. "Our whole raison d'etre is to show people that it's not all chickpeas and chia seeds," she says. "We're turning those preconceptions on their head, showing people that it can be absolutely stunningly beautiful, colourful and vibrant, with flavours to match."
The image of veganism is currently undergoing a radical change
Armitage and her team aren't alone in their quest – Temple of Seitan, a vegan fried 'chicken' joint just off Hackney's Mare Street, opened to wide acclaim in January, selling 'chicken' burgers and subs made with seitan, a high-gluten flour that has a chewy texture often used to replace meat. There's Black Cat Café, also in Hackney, where Armitage learned some of the tricks of the trade; and 90° Melt, a vegetarian and vegan grilled cheese shop in Mile End.
And it's not just dedicated restaurants dishing up animal-free food: just a few to namecheck are vaunted London restaurant Lyle's, where chef James Lowe and his team pride themselves on their well thought-out vegan offering; pizza joint Voodoo Ray's always has a vegan 'za; and even outside the realms of hipsterdom, Zizzi's has an entire vegan menu, Nando's has multitude of vegan options (yes, really); and it's never been easier to get your hands on a range of animal-free ingredients down the supermarket.
In London 2017, veganism is most definitely a 'thing'. A very delicious thing, apparently. And it certainly has its benefits – not least for the environment, although this argument is often disputed – but also, if focusing on predominantly fresh vegetables, for your health. And these days, with many chefs slowly shifting their focus further away from meat, eating a plant-based diet can prove to be far from a sacrifice.
The possible reasons for this change are many; ethical and environmental concerns top the list. Veganism is ultimately defined as a way of living which seeks to exclude as far as possible all forms of exploitation of and cruelty to animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. This includes not supporting the use of animals being used as entertainment – including in zoos.
It's a huge commitment, yet it's one that people are increasingly prepared to make. According to the Vegan Society's stats, veganism has increased by 360% in the last decade; there are half a million vegans currently in the UK, a further million vegetarians, and half of those vegetarians are thinking of going fully vegan. It's predicted that there will be at least a million vegans in the UK within the next ten years.
Yet there's another reason why veganism has seen a recent boom – plant-based eating is widely being touted as a healthier diet, and a solution to obesity and a range of other modern ailments.
"The image of veganism is currently undergoing a radical change," says the Vegan Society's Dominika Piasecka. "People now associate it with health, fitness and wellbeing. There's a certain pressure on vegans to eat healthily and that comes from social media accounts posting healthy vegan meals. It's become a stereotype for vegans to eat healthily and to look slim."
While the Vegan Society believes it doesn't matter why people are becoming vegan, it's just good that they're doing it, it's exactly this very 'plant-based' stereotype that drove Melbourne export Rebecca McGuinness to set up Temple of Seitan with her husband Pat O'Shea.
"That's why we're doing what we're doing," she says. "We noticed that there were a lot of vegan places opening but they were predominantly vegetable-based and raw, centering around being healthy, but that's not what we're about at all."
Seitan (pronounced say-tan, rather than like the devil) is the vegan ingredient that's currently cropping up on social media thanks to its uncanny ability to imitate the texture of meat. Made out of wheat gluten (the protein part of wheat that gives bread dough its elasticity), it was originally developed by buddhist monks and has been used as a meat substitute in China and Japan for centuries.
At McGuinness's fast-food joint, seitan is used to make everything from 'chicken' subs to the smoky, salty 'bacon' bits that top the mac'n'cheese. Temple of Seitan's popcorn 'chicken' is absolutely everything it should be, with a crispy 'skin' heavily spiced with salt and paprika. The flavours are remarkably similar to the real deal, as is the texture, although I'd compare it more to a chicken nugget than a wing.
"We mix our seitan with water, spices and tofu, which gives it a lighter texture," says McGuinness. "Everyone's seitan is a bit different, and you can use it to imitate all kinds of meat – we've made steaks and burgers in the past, using TVP [textured vegetable protein, which is used to make vegetarian mince]." The burgers have proved so popular that the vegan fast-food joint plans to bring them back this summer.
Also on their menu is a moreish mac'n'cheese. "We make our own soy cheese, and top it with seitan 'bacon' bits and a cashew parmesan. A lot of the flavours that go into it are garlic, smoked paprika and mustard," says McGuinness. "These flavours by themselves aren't necessarily cheesy, but together they create an overpoweringly savoury flavour. It's about finding the spices that work well to bring that flavour in."
Spice is undeniably key, and that's one of the reasons why Armitage set up Club Mexicana. "In Mexican food, all the flavour comes from the herbs, spices and the chillies, and the meat is just a vehicle for all those things. You marinade it in the sauces; you add beautiful salsas; you get things really crispy on the grill and get that smoky flavour. Mexican is a really great cuisine that doesn't need meat to be the vehicle with which you transport all of those spices."
Instead, Armitage has leveraged ingredients like jackfruit to replicate pulled pork tacos and quesadillas. "A lot of the components of vegan food are soft and mushy, and we're on a constant quest to find ingredients that have a chewy texture to them, because as soon as you start to leave out meat you lose that chewiness."
Elsewhere, the to-fish tacos are made of tofu that's wrapped in seaweed then deep-fried in beer batter, "so you've got that crispy outer layer, seaweed to give it that taste of the sea; and the soft and chewy tofu. It really messes with people's minds," says Armitage.
It might feel jarring that both restaurants are creating dishes that imitate animal-based foods, but, as Temple of Seitan's McGuinness points out, "just because you've made the decision to go vegan, it doesn't mean you stop liking meat, and it's good for helping people transition." After all, most of us don't grow up eating a vegan or vegetarian diet.
As for infusing these ingredients with flavour, more is, er, more, says Armitage of Club Mexicana. "Go bold. If something tastes like it needs a tiny bit more lime, I'll add a whole lime. Don't be shy with it. You can always pull it back again."
The other appeal of Mexican food is its colourful appearance, which is completely different to the 'hearty' browns and greens usually associated with vegan food. You eat with your eyes as well as your mouth, and this is something Armitage is always mindful of. "I chop up fresh herbs, chillies and nuts, and scatter them over the dish to make it look pretty, and it enhances the texture on your very first bite."
The most striking thing here is the level of attention paid to infusing these vegan ingredients with flavour – equal to the care taken when preparing meat and fish.
Nacho Gómez, chef at Black Cat Café in Hackney, one of the places where Armitage trained, says that creating a great-tasting, satisfying vegan meal is a matter of knowing what you're doing, and putting the focus on the right ingredients. "If you substitute meat for tofu, tempeh or seitan, and pay the attention to those ingredients that you would usually pay to meat, you can add so much flavour – if you know what you're doing."
Gómez is Spanish, an influence you'll see on the menu at his restaurant, but he's taken inspiration from the cultures around him, creating a menu that has a Caribbean slant to it, too. "One of our absolute favourite dishes is a Caribbean 'fish' stew. The 'fish' is made from soya bean protein; the sauce is really rich, with peanut, scotch bonnet, thyme, pimento and coconut milk, and it's served with red plantains."
Just because you choose to be vegan, doesn't mean that you stop liking meat
At 90° Melt, a vegetarian and vegan grilled cheese sandwich shop in Mile End, Nidhi Sharma is adamant that meat isn't required to add flavour. "Lots of the flavours from meat and dairy come from fat, and if you think about it, fat doesn't actually have an interesting taste – it's just very rich. If you use herbs and fresh ingredients, you can add flavour to pretty much anything at all."
At her restaurant, almost every item on the menu has a vegan option, using dairy-free cheeses, and Sharma adds flavour by making fresh sauces from scratch every day, like a coriander chutney and a chipotle sauce.
Of course, eating and creating vegan food is very different when you don't eat meat to when you do. But chefs at non-vegan restaurants, says James Lowe (of award-winning Lyle's restaurant in Shoreditch), shouldn't take any less care over it.
"We create a menu every night, and then the team will put together a vegetarian menu, a vegan menu, and pescatarian, dairy-free and gluten-free menus. It's interesting and it forces us to be creative. We often develop a dish for the vegetarian and vegan menus that then makes its way onto the main menu."
And it's about more than just what you're eating. "We change the proportions on the plate, and we change the format of the meal. While the normal menu builds up to the main dish, our vegan menu will consist of three very similar-sized dishes," Lowe says. "It's about understanding the balance and the ingredients, and it doesn't always conform to a normal menu shape and size. We play around with it."
Having an excellent vegan offering is extremely important to Lowe. "I've seen restaurants with set menus where vegetarians and vegans are charged the same but just given a salad. They're such poor substitutes that are given no thought compared to the main menu," Lowe continues.
"I don't really think that's OK. You're there to look after people and they're paying for that service. Vegans often tell me they've never been given a proper menu before."
"At the moment we've got a roast potato broth, a clear broth that's made the same way that you make an onion soup, with heavily roasted potatoes, poached new season potatoes, lovage oil, and crispy potatoes with burnt celeriac. It's a really earthy, rich, deep-flavoured dish, but without any of the traditional ways that you would use to get those rich flavours."
Whether it's a crop of vegan restaurants or chefs paying extra attention to their vegan offering, it's clear that times are changing. The critical question remains: for a nation of meat and two veg, can vegan food ever taste as good as its animal-derived counterpart?
Richard H Turner, the meat maestro behind the Hawksmoor group, Foxlow and Meatopia, admits, "I'm not sure vegan food will ever have the flavour that comes from meat fat, fish and umami. But in Asian hands, vegan food can easily taste as good. They create umami through fermentation, and using soybeans and miso."
"Pickling and fermenting creates a different kind of umami to meat; it creates different flavour compounds that aren't naturally found in vegetables. That sweetness, that sharpness."
The science behind it is too much to explore here, but, Lyle's Lowe explains, "in a meat-based dish you will often find the breakdown of more amino acids that form glutamates, which are more savoury and complex. You could therefore say there is more, or a deeper, flavour in a meat product. The flip side of this is something like miso – a purely vegetable-based product that has incredibly complex flavours."
The main problem with trying to convert to a plant-based diet is that, by nature, we're not designed to eat only vegetables. "Meat carries such umami. It satiates very quickly and, if you're a true omnivore, you will always crave that hit of energy that you can't get from veganism," points out Turner. "But [in modern life] we don't really need that any more."
Vegan food, in the right hands, can certainly taste as good as meat
He believes that vegan food, in the right hands, can certainly taste as good as meat. Great news for those who are considering becoming vegan, but this comparison raises another question: we don't ask whether meat can taste as good as vegetables, so why does that idea apply the other way around?
As James Lowe points out, "There's no meat that compares to the experience of eating the first fresh peas or fruit from the tree that's still warm from the sun, but then there's nothing in the vegetable world that's like a slice of well-aged mutton or a raw scallop that's just been shucked. All these things are wonderfully different."
This growing appreciation for the bounty of flavours that vegetables can bring to our plates is slowly, but surely, influencing the way we eat. It's time to change how we think about meat and veg – and we're lucky enough to have innovative chefs and restaurateurs who can help us do it.

I am humbled and flattered to have inspired another two wheeled adventure. While I was checking out some links from people who have commented on my site I discovered this…
It's a blog this guy Jesse started in January about a mission to get a bike and go! The humbling and flattering part come from his first post back in January where he states that his inspiration came from reading my blog. And coincidentally he chose to begin this adventure on my birthday. Yay! Happy Birthday to me! And all the best to Jesse!
Jesse is now on day 3 of his first cross country adventure. Check in with him and wish him well!
Meanwhile, I took Jillian on our first ride out of the city this past Sunday.
We headed up to Suffern, NY to check out some old cars and scenery in the surrounding area.
In Suffern was a car show and street fair. There were some real beauties lined up on the street. Above is a 1950 Studebaker and below a mint 65 GTO.
Got a little freaky in the chrome mustang.
The event was advertised as a Vintage Car, Truck and Motorcycle show.
This 68 Honda was the only vintage bike there.
I think this Corvette is a '56. Magnificent!
I like these new Guzzi's.
After the show in Suffern we headed toward Bear Mountain. We rode up Seven Lakes Drive.
I have written about Seven Lakes Drive in the past. It is a pleasant, easy ride with plenty of nice spots to stop and take in the views. That goose was swimming around when we arrived at this campsite. Then he got curious and snooped all around us.
There were some people at this campsite setting up tents. We thought nothing of riding in and having a look, but when we went to leave someone had locked us in with a cable and padlock. Fortunately I was able to squeeze between some boulders. Barely. I mean I had to lift my legs and put the foot pegs up in order to get by. But I made it out and we headed back to the city.

This is the reason why people get upset, even angry, when faced with opinions contrary to their own. The mind immediately interprets it as a threat to its existence when somebody criticisms or challenges its cherished thoughts, opinions or ideologies. The false and limited beliefs about us have given rise to the fiction of a small, transient, individual self, which begets suffering. The fiction has become so complete and 'real' that we completely identify with the fictitious role, which these beliefs have spun around us. We started looking at ourselves with the eyes of others and eventually believed us to be what others think of us. We absolutely forgot our inner being, as we tend to identify with the role that we are playing in this drama of life. " — Excerpt from the book "

What is a standard?
As used in ASTM, a standard is a document that has been developed and established within the consensus principles of the organization and which meets the requirements of ASTM procedures and regulations. Full consensus standards are developed with the participation of all parties who have a stake in the standards' development and/or use.
How and where are ASTM standards used?
ASTM standards are used by individuals, companies, and agencies around the world. Purchasers and sellers incorporate standards into contracts; scientists and engineers use them in their laboratories and offices; architects and designers use them in their plans; government agencies around the world reference them in codes, regulations, and laws; and many others refer to them for guidance.

Vladimir Putin 'doesn't exclude' backing military force on Syria if evidence proves 'beyond doubt' Assad used chemical weapons
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has said he would not rule out endorsing military action in Syria if it could be proven that Bashar al-Assad's regime had used chemical weapons against its citizens.
Though he "doesn't exclude" the possibility of backing force, he said that action should only be taken once evidence has been submitted to the UN Security Council and that, at present, he felt it was "ludicrous" that the government of President Assad would use chemical weapons at a time when it was holding sway against the rebels.
Speaking in an interview with the Associated Press, he said: "From our viewpoint, it seems absolutely absurd that the armed forces, the regular armed forces, which are on the offensive today and in some areas have encircled the so-called rebels and are finishing them off, that in these conditions they would start using forbidden chemical weapons while realizing quite well that it could serve as a pretext for applying sanctions against them, including the use of force.
"If there are data that the chemical weapons have been used, and used specifically by the regular army, this evidence should be submitted to the UN Security Council," he added. "And it ought to be convincing. It shouldn't be based on some rumors and information obtained by special services through some kind of eavesdropping, some conversations and things like that."
Source: The Independent
In another version of the interview on Al Jazeera, he goes on to say this:
If there was clear proof of what weapons were used and who used them, Russia "will be ready to act in the most decisive and serious way," Putin said.
