James 3:8 But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. NASB.
1. Things not to say to a cop when you're pulled over...
I only had one officer Mr. Keg..
Back off Barney, I've got a piece.
I know I was weaving, but I can't find the Honeycomb Hideout!
On the way to the station let's get a twelve pack.
Come on write the ticket, the bars close in 20 minutes!
I'm surprised you stopped me, Dunkin Donuts has a 3 for 1 special!
Yeah you can see my license and registration, officer, but could you hold my beer for a minute?
Hey, you must've been doing' about 125mph (200km/h) to keep up with me!
Good job! Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a Police Officer.
I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no cars around, that's how far I am behind the other cars.
You're NOT gonna check the trunk, are you?
Lets do it different this time...
I bet I could grab that gun before you finish writing my ticket.
Hey is that a 9 mm? That's nothing compared to this .44 magnum.
Is it true that people become policemen because they are too dumb to work at McDonalds?
Aren't you one of the Village People?
2. In the clip below, Manchester United is in the process of defeating Arsenal 4-0 in a F.A. Cup match. The United player decides to put on a dribbling show against Arsenal that was not appreciated by all. As I was falling asleep a few nights ago, I overheard a shouting match between two commentators on Talksport via the web concerning whether the display was acceptable sportsmanship. On Wade's Rantings awhile back I stated I did not like sore winners, but to be honest, the dribbling display, the game broadcasting comments, the Arsenal reactions, and especially the two commenters arguing and shouting on Talksport has put a grin on my face.
Please place your opinions in comments. Was Nani being a sore winner, or likely just having a bit of fun? I favour the second option. Should The Council of Nani be called to discuss his actions?

3. Occasionally on this blog I like to provide listed historical information. I am not an expert on the Ecumenical Councils, but inevitably in theology and apologetics discussions the subject of Councils comes up. I supply a list from what I have found to be a helpful and good source over the years, New Advent which is coming from a Roman Catholic perspective. The Councils therefore are noted from this historical perspective. I am of course a Presbyterian and not a Roman Catholic.
The 21 Ecumenical Councils
Year: 325
Summary: The Council of Nicaea lasted two months and twelve days. Three hundred and eighteen bishops were present. Hosius, Bishop of Cordova, assisted as legate of Pope Sylvester. The Emperor Constantine was also present. To this council we owe the Nicene Creed, defining against Arius the true Divinity of the Son of God (homoousios), and the fixing of the date for keeping Easter (against the Quartodecimans).

Years: 1414-1418
The Council of Constance was held during the great Schism of the West, with the object of ending the divisions in the Church. It became legitimate only when Gregory XI had formally convoked it. Owing to this circumstance it succeeded in putting an end to the schism by the election of Pope Martin V, which the Council of Pisa (1403) had failed to accomplish on account of its illegality. The rightful pope confirmed the former decrees of the synod against Wyclif and Hus. This council is thus ecumenical only in its last sessions (42-45 inclusive) and with respect to the decrees of earlier sessions approved by Martin V.
Further Reading: www.newadvent.org/cathen/04288a.htm
Years: 1431-1439
Summary: The Council of Basle met first in that town, Eugene IV being pope, and Sigismund Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Its object was the religious pacification of Bohemia. Quarrels with the pope having arisen, the council was transferred first to Ferrara (1438), then to Florence (1439), where a short-lived union with the Greek Church was effected, the Greeks accepting the council's definition of controverted points. The Council of Basle is only ecumenical till the end of the twenty-fifth session, and of its decrees Eugene IV approved only such as dealt with the extirpation of heresy, the peace of Christendom, and the reform of the Church, and which at the same time did not derogate from the rights of the Holy See.

Years: 1512-1517
Summary: The Fifth Lateran Council sat from 1512 to 1517 under Popes Julius II and Leo X, the emperor being Maximilian I. Fifteen cardinals and about eighty archbishops and bishops took part in it. Its decrees are chiefly disciplinary. A new crusade against the Turks was also planned, but came to naught, owing to the religious upheaval in Germany caused by Luther.

Years: 1545-1563
Summary: The Council of Trent lasted eighteen years (1545-1563) under five popes: Paul III, Julius III, Marcellus II, Paul IV and Pius IV, and under the Emperors Charles V and Ferdinand.

ARCHIVED - Boss of illegal agricultural worker who died from heatstroke faces criminal investigation
Image: Archive. Agricultural workers picking watermelons in the full summer sun.
The 42 year-old Nicaraguan man was dumped outside a health centre on Friday afternoon and died shortly afterwards
Cases like this spotlight the abuses within the agricultural sector which constant inspections and vigilance attempt to minimise or prevent.
On Friday afternoon the region was immersed in a heatwave, with temperatures topping 40 degrees in some areas, and warnings in place to protect both the public and those obliged to continue working during these episodes of extreme heat.
Although workers in many sectors can retreat into air conditioned offices and shops, those working in the agricultural sector have little protection from the elements, undertaking one of the least desirable jobs available in the region; backbreaking, repetitive, physically demanding and one of the lowest-paid jobs available.
Most of the field-working jobs are undertaken by immigrant labourers, teams of south-American workers, Moroccans or Sub-Saharan day workers being the most common, although there are also eastern European teams and during peak harvest season in some sectors, such as the grape harvest, teams from other areas of Spain will be brought in for specific tasks.
The "jornaleros" or day workers, are organised into work teams and are contracted when work is available, some working on an almost permanent basis and moving around to handle different crops and others on a very casual basis at a local level.
Although the larger work groups are run by agencies, there are many smaller businesses dedicated to providing work gangs as required, picking up workers in minibuses to transport them to where the labour is needed and although these companies are subjected to frequent checks and constant vigilance, it is a sector in which there is abuse of workers (they often claim that they are expected to work longer hours than they are being paid for) and in which irregular migrants find work, exposing themselves to abuse.
It is very difficult to monitor thousands of day workers working across hundreds of thousands of hectares of agricultural farms on an ever-changing basis, which is why irregular migrants and those prepared to work on an illegal basis for less money can be found in these groups of "jornaleros" spread across every agricultural region of Spain.
Particularly irregular migrants arriving in small boats from countries such as Algeria or Morocco are not allowed to work legally as they have entered the country illegally, but some will find work in the agricultural sector and are often paid lower wages than their legal co-workers and given the most unpleasant tasks. This is a well-documented occurrence, particularly in areas such as neighbouring Almería, where illegal workers can easily be "lost" amidst a warren of plastic coated greenhouses.
In this particular case, the deceased was a 42 year old Nicaraguan man. No details were given of his legal status in the country,(he may have been legally entitled to be in Spain) but he was working illegally when he suffered severe sunstroke on Friday.
His work colleagues appear to have panicked, unceremoniously dumping him in the doorway of the health consultorio of Sutullena in Lorca, and driving off in a van without speaking to anyone in the centre at 15:30 in the afternoon in an effort to distance themselves from his illegal status.
From his dress staff could see that the man was obviously a day labourer and was very ill, requiring urgent medical attention.
Staff at the consultorio immediately called for help and a mobile emergencies unit was sent to the centre to provide assistance. By now the man was unconscious and died in the ambulance on the way to hospital.
The Policía Nacional and Health and Safety Executive were called in and investigations began to identify the driver of the vehicle which had left him outside the consultorio.
As a result of these investigations, police were able to locate the leader of the work group, a 50 year old Ecuadorian, who organises work groups for the agricultural sector.
It transpired that the team had been working in the El Esparragal area in Puerto Lumbreras, which borders with Lorca when he collapsed, obviously suffering from the effects of heatstroke, and that the man concerned was not registered with the social security system.
The CCOO Comisiones Obreras Union denounced what they called a lack of inspections in the sector, "the Administration favours the bad practices of companies due to the lack of application of the precepts of the current regulations regarding the prevention of occupational risks.
Exposure to extreme environmental temperatures represents a well-known danger to human health," they said.
The head of the company will now be investigated for health and safety malpractice as well as for alleged transgressions relating to the employment of workers and their social security obligations.

If you're looking for a place serving amazing Pan Asian food then Noodle Canteen is where you need to visit. After having an amazing experience in their Kalyani Nagar outlet, thought to visit this outlet. The taste of the food here is very authentic, though a bit different for the Indian taste. We started with their inhouse lemon and Peppermint Ice tea. Peppermint was my personal favourite. Starters: ✓ Activated charcoal dimsums: if you love dimsums yet health-conscious, you gotta try this. Activated charcoal is very healthy as it removes toxins from the body. These dimsums has a distinct smoky after-taste. ✓ Mapo Baozi veg: Bun like shape filled with minced veggies or soy nuggets inside them. Goes well with spicy schezwan chutney. ✓ Chilly Basil Fish: A highly recommended dish. Fish cubes tossed in spicy and tangy basil sauce. Loved it. ✓ Chicken dimsums: properly steamed dimsums filled with minced chicken and veggies. Tasted good with chilli dip. Main course: ✓ Khow suey: Noodles and soup made of coconut milk. I'm a big Khow suey lover so I felt the taste could have been better. ✓ Tom yum Fried rice: Fried rice base served with a fried egg poached on top. The best part was ending the meal with their Chocolate wontons. Wontons sheets wrapped in chocolate and then fried. One of my favourite desserts. Had a great time. Service was quick and the staff were courteous.

Even if the classes are easy, that doesn't mean slack off. Don't even slack off just a little bit. Keep up, even if you know you're going to get an A+ in a class.
I think that there should be more satelite classes out of colorado springs.
The wind is the worst. The campus is located in northern Pueblo, which seems like the windiest part of the state.
I consider the worst thing here at CSU-P is where it is located. The school itself is very well put together and the professors and programs offer a lot of knowledge and experience to the students. I just do not like the fact that is for a lack of better word, plain and boring. I wish that this school would stay the same staff and program wise, but move to a different location like Denver or Boulder.
I would say that the concensus on the campus is that they are not very informative and helpful regarding classes, financial aid, and other aspects required for entry into the college. Many students feel lost and that they have had no direction on how to schedule classes, access financial aid and other services. I feel that the school need not assume that new students understand all processes and will get them completed. They need to make it easy for students to access these services and understand how financial aid works and how it will affect them in the future.
My school has alot of people who commute so i feel that if more people lived on campus then there would be alot more things to do and you would be able to make alot more friends.
The worst thing about this school would be the food. There are some good choices but you can get really tired of the same things that they tend to serve. Sometimes the food also doesn't seem to be fresh at times.
I would say that there is nothing worst about my school. I am entirely happy and loving the experience I get from attending.
The worst part of Colorado State University-Pueblo is having to take out student loans to survive financially. If more scholarship money was awarded to students that truly want to better themselves and their education, then students could just focus on their studies instead of having to worry about finding a part-time job. Colorado State University-Pueblo is what you make of it. If any student has a bad attitude towards the school then that will most likely be the feedback that they receive. I am happy to be in school and value my education as an adult.
Essential classes are not always offered as frequently as might be convenient for students who do not want to attend school any longer than they have to. It's also on a very large hill, which may sound like a joke, but as a bike commuter, it gets difficult!
The worst thing about my school would probably the lack of funding for all of the programs the school has to offer. The university has amazing programs and outstanding potential for more clubs and programs. However, I think with the proper funding Colorado State University-Pueblo could be outstanding!
The food isn't that great most days. The meat can be dry and just not taste that good. The dorms are so far away from where classes are held that it makes it not so appealing to go to class after a while. Other than those things the school is great.
The worst thing about my school is the lack of information about scholarships.
The price of the parking passes. Everything else costs alot and when going to school full time there is no time to work a full time job so this becomes an issue on how to afford this.
financial aid service
The school is going through some large growth right now, so the library renovation really is a bummer but once it opens it will be nice.
The only thing I can really say that I do not like about my school, is some of the professors. The ones in the math department especially. The teachers do not take in to consideration they can be wrong and having to make us relearn the unit they have previously taught is difficult and stressful. Not to mention frustrating when you are a chapter behind and still need to catch up to other classes.
The worst thing about my school is the location. Their are no stores or restaurants within walkind distance and the bus service run every hour untill 6 pm. If you drive you have to get on the highway to get anywhere and their is only one gas station within 10 miles. The city is very boreing and older. Their mall is way outdated.
The worst part about going to CSUP is that when going there you never get to go out and experience the college life. For myself I live alone my friends went away for college and I stayed in Pueblo where nothing every changes. Its much harder to meet new people at CSUP because most of the students that go there already have friends from high school that they hang around with they do not want to meet new people.
There are a couple faculty members that are discouraging to students. Espically those students switching majors. You can always find someone to help you but its not fun to hear discouraging words from some professors before you find a helpful one.
I think the financail aid could do a lot better in helping students find scholarships and making sure the students understand. I don't think they do a very good job of truly caring for the students and helping them do whatever possible to recieve more financial support. Instead, they're rather impersonal and don't answer any questions the students may have very clearly sometimes.
Taking general credits. It wastes money when students could be finishing degrees and getting realy world experience.
I would say the best thing about my school is the atmosphere and community. Our school is filled with such a diverse group of students which makes attending college all the better. The campus is beautiful and relaxing, which comes in handy on your first day; the nerves are gone! Colorado State University- Pueblo is definitely one of the most lively campus' I have been on, which is one of the big reasons it was my first choice in college's I was looking at. The amazing factor is that we are still continuing to grow.
The teachers are very unorganized and do not follow the syllabus a lot of the time. For instructors that have doctorates, they seem to not know enough about the subject to teach it.
The worst thing about my school is that administrative departments (i.e. financial aid, cashiers office, etc.) give you less respect than if you were not a student at all.
no wireless internet access through out the campus its only accessed in a few buildings at the school.
I feel the worst thing about my school is the sudden pursuit of legitimizing itself.

M13 - The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules
Updated: Aug 31
Featured on The Astrophotographer's Guidebook.
Featured on Sciences et Avenir's Instagram account
Messier 13 is one of the best globular cluster to observe and photograph from the Northern hemisphere. It is bright, large, and stays high in the sky for a long period of time.
Photographing this cluster is easy and does not require a lot of exposure time. For the best results, keep your exposure times short to avoid blowing up the bright stars, and always check that your guiding is perfect.
M13 has been targeted on November 16, 1974 to send a message to potential extraterrestrial civilizations. It will take 25,000 years to get there, and the same amount of time for an eventual response.
Attempt #2 - M13 with an 8" reflector and OSC cooled camera
May 25, 2020
Four years after the first attempt, I decided to head back to the desert and revisit this object with our current gear. We used a full frame cooled one shot color camera, the same telescope we had the last time and the Software Bisque Paramount MyT mount.
I spent a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes on the target. I initially wanted to image it for 3 hours, but the laptop died quicker than I anticipated and I had to unplug the camera from the battery in order to charge the computer instead... Then I switched to a different target.
I am very pleased with the result, but had a terrible time trying to take care of the large background halo produced my the bright cluster core. I believe I would not have had this problem if I had an IR cut filter. I did my best during processing but, as you can see below, the background is not really even throughout the image.
Camera: QHYCCD 128C
Telescope: Orion 8" Astrograph f/3.9
Mount: Software Bisque Paramount MyT
Coma: Baader MPCC Coma Corrector MkIII
Guiding: Starshoot Autoguider - 50mm Guide Scope
Processing: Pixinsight
Total Exposure Time: 1 hour and 45 minutes
Exposure Time per frame: 30 seconds
70 lights - 15 Darks
Gain: 3200
Attempt #1 - M13 with an 8" reflector and stock DSLR camera
May 31, 2016
Here was our very first attempt at imaging this bright globular cluster. This was taken with with pretty poor guiding conditions and, to be honest, our processing skills were pretty terrible. Look at how dark the background is!
Camera: Canon 7D Mk II
Telescope: Orion 8" Astrograph f/3.9
Mount: Atlas EQ-G motorized Mount
Coma: Baader MPCC Coma Corrector MkIII
Guiding: Starshoot Autoguider - 50mm Guide Scope
Processing: Pixinsight
Total Exposure Time: 2 hours
Exposure Time per frame: 3 minutes
40 lights - 15 Darks - 15 Bias
Locating the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules
The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules can be seen with telescopes, binoculars, and the naked eye! The latter must be seen from a dark zone with no light pollution. Through a telescope, the cluster really looks impressive and many stars can be resolved.
You will find the cluster in the constellation of Hercules and have no issue spotting it! Once you find it, take a moment to think about how Charles Messier found the same cluster many years ago through his own telescope. With his instrument, M13 looked like a nebula!
This is his entry for his famous catalog after having discovered the cluster:
"In the night of June 1 to 2, 1764, I have discovered a nebula in the girdle of Hercules, of which I am sure it doesn't contain any star; having examined it with a Newtonian telescope of four feet and a half, which magnified 60 times, it is round, beautiful & brilliant, the center brighter than the borders".
Charles Messier thought it was a nebula
Cluster is half a million solar masses
About 11.65 billion years old
Processing of M13
Processing M13 is not very difficult, but as always with clusters, you will need to be careful to not ruin the stars.
A good thing to do once you are done is to revisit the crispness of the object in a different editing software (we use Lightroom). This usually has a great impact on the final image!
If you centered M13 properly, you might get a galaxy in your frame. This is NGC 6207!
Try to also bring it up during processing using masks, but do not sacrifice any quality in your star cluster for it!
Final Thoughts
Messier 13 is the most famous star cluster for amateur astrophotographers in the Northern hemisphere. It is huge, has more stars than pretty much all others, and is not too difficult to photograph! We plan to revisit this cluster when we get a bigger telescope.
Clear Skies,
Galactic Hunter

Evan Anderson, UF/IFAS Extension Walton County
One of the easiest pasture weeds to identify in our area has a rather plain appearance, but a single touch will tell you all you need to know. Fireweed, also known as heartleaf nettle, may not look flashy, but come into contact with it, and you'll be seeing stars.
Fireweed, (Urtica chamaedryoides), is a close relative of stinging nettle, and possesses the same stinging hairs that make its cousin such a nuisance. It typically grows 1-3 feet in height, with square stems and leaves reminiscent of strawberry leaves, but smaller. Leaves and stems are covered in tiny hairs, each of which is a tube filled with irritating chemicals that cause pain, itching, and swelling.
Preferring areas with little competition from grasses, it is a common sight in pastures, especially along fences and tree lines. The plant's seeds are coated in a sticky substance, so animals may transport them to areas that have never had an infestation before.
Cattle tend to avoid grazing on fireweed, but horses will occasionally attempt to eat it. This can cause difficulties in breathing or eating, and some ——weight loss may result.
Thankfully, there are control options available for this weed. Mowing is not advised, as shorter plants regrow with even more stinging hairs, and the plant's sticky seeds can be spread by mowing equipment. Instead, chemical control is more effective. The selective herbicides Remedy, PastureGard HL, and GrazonNext HL all demonstrated excellent control in trials. In addition, fireweed is a winter annual, meaning that populations decline as soon as temperatures grow warmer. In North Florida, this is usually around May.

If we have replication-factor 2, then how is the replica record written on other node. Does the client first writes to master node and then master node sends it to replica node and acknowledges client. Or client writes both master and replica in parallel and waits until both have acknowledged?
By default, writes in Aerospike are written to replica's (depending on your replication factor) synchronously. So, your first point is true - client writes to master, master writes to replica, once the replica is acknowledged, master acknowledges the client marking the transaction as completed.
You can however make the replica writes go asynchronously by setting the write-commit-level-override to master.

Zen and the art of motorcycle avoidance
Post by:

Space: The Final Frontier
A motorcyclist ran over my foot the other day. It didn't really hurt, but it did remind me of my place in the scheme of things.
This happened on the Strand in London. Traffic moving as fast as paint drying. I was minding my own business about to squeeze between two queues, an ingress
Not Ingres. Note also the lack of protective footwear.
insufficiently generous to admit anything much larger than me and my folder, when it became clear that somebody else was minding my business as well: the uneasy rider (https://www.notanothercyclingforum.net/index.php?topic=981.0) a few inches to the left of my handlebars. He protested my freedom by rolling right over my pedal pusher, which at the time was engaged in attempting to pivot me and bike into that wormhole conveniently appearing down the middle of the road. What can I say, it beckoned. It always beckons. It's not usually a problem.
With some surprise I suddenly found my foot pinned to the tarmac. It's not credible the motorcyclist couldn't see me, couldn't know what he was doing. We didn't argue about it. I waited until his wheel was on the other side of my foot, then carried the hell on, quickly finding an alternate route. A few miles later I peeled off Shimano and sock and examined the slightly buzzing extremity. It looked the same as it always does; no treadmarks as a souvenir.
I don't, as a rule, kick up a fuss. What's the point? I cycle for enjoyment. Road rage doesn't do it for me. I love traffic. Sometimes it bites.
My place in the scheme of things? Clearly a speedbump.

It was a beautiful day to be out on a tandem, okay it was a little windy, but that didn't dampen the spirits of the 8 couples at the April PEACHES ride. Mitzi and John Boland were our hosts, and almost everyone was dressed in their Easter pastels as we rolled out of Tucker on Sunday morning.
Our challenging route gave us a glimpse of Stone Mountain:
And some pretty views of Norris Lake:
We all enjoyed a break at a well timed rest stop about 21 miles into our ride:
After 42 miles we celebrated our ride with lunch at Taqueria Los Hermanos:
Lunch was fantastic and everyone enjoyed the post ride camaraderie:
But the highlight of the festivities was the visit by the Easter Bunny! Yes, those ARE home baked cookies and yummy chocolates. We earned it!
Thanks to Mitzi and John for a terrific day.
Join us in May when Sherry and Jose Rodriguez will host a ride on 5/17. Details will be posted when they are made available!

Thank You · 9:54pm May 16th, 2019
Hey, guys. Thought I'd drop in with an update on my GoFundMe. While it only reached half of my $1,000 goal, meaning it earned $500, it is more than enough to keep a roof over my head for a month or two. From the looks of things, my work situation is slowly starting to stablize itself, and while it's gonna take time, things should be back to normal soon. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who donated.

Need Ducati Carbon Fibre Mirrors Australia? Learn more about exclusive items for motorcycles like Ducati Australian carbon fibre mirrors…
For motorcycles like the Australian Ducati, carbon fibre mirrors are available from select dealers along with the mirror block off plates.
Ducati Mirror Block off Plates
These mirror block off plates are actually designed so that you can cover up the small holes that are left behind after you remove the original Australian Ducati carbon fibre mirrors.
They actually serve two purposes. When racers take off the Ducati carbon fibre mirrors from their motorcycles when they are racing, then the block offs actually keep the fairings in place. That means that the fairings do not bounce around at high speed during the racing track run.
If in fact you should want to remove the Australia Ducati carbon fibre mirrors completely from your motorbike then you could just hold the fairings down so they do not flap in the wind.
However, legally the state requirement for motorbikes includes the placement of at least one functional mirror, hence it is a good idea to put the bar end mirrors in place when you remove the motorcycles Australian Ducati carbon fibre mirrors.
Enhancing the Look of Your Motorbike
Once you have purchased a motorcycle you can dramatically change the look by adding on Carbon mirrors or different colored fibre mirrors at the bar end. From sports bikes to street fighting looks, you can get any effect with the right Ducati mirrored motorcycle.
In order to add carbon fibre to change the look of your Ducati motorcycle it is a good idea to opt for colored Ducati carbon fibre mirrors Australia. Not only do they dramatically alter the look of a motorbike they are extremely well finished and durable.
Superior Quality of Carbon Fibre Mirrors

Most of the Ducati carbon fibre mirrors Australia are available in blue, silver, red and green mirrors for adding a stunning look to individual motorcycles.
Carbon Fibre Mirrors Pack
The mirrors give a very unique look to a bike and are sold in pairs. When the kit is purchased for Ducati carbon fibre mirrors Australia you get a pair of mirrors as well as the fitting kit, which is a universal mounting kit for motorbikes. A special polishing cloth is also available with the kit.
Adjusting the Carbon Fibre Mirrors on the Motorcycles
The mirrors can also be adjusted once you fit them on to the motorbike. They can be tightened and loosened as required for the right fit. You can place them on the mirror mounts once again.

Video Verdict: Our Norwich City correspondent Michael Bailey gives his take on the Canaries' Championship draw at Brentford
PUBLISHED: 21:26 31 December 2016 | UPDATED: 21:26 31 December 2016
©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222
Mustard sports editor Michael Bailey wraps up his take at Griffin Park, following Norwich City's EFL Championship draw at Brentford
City's 2016 came to an end with a goalless 90 minutes, despite numerous changes made by manager Alex Neil before kick-off.
It was also punctuated by several missed chances from Cameron Jerome and the 80th minute red card for Robbie Brady, following his 50-50 tackle on Ryan Woods.
Other than that, there was at least the odd positive performance for the City supporters to take away before the year came to an end.
City remain well off the pace of the Championship promotion race, with Bradley Johnson's Derby the first visitors to Carrow Road in 2017, come Bank Holiday Monday's 3pm kick-off.

"For us it was an obvious choice"
The Map's Edge is a Tanzania-based, owner-operated safari company with strong ethical and environmental values. They design professionally guided, tailor-made adventures throughout East Africa, drawing on their exceptional expertise on the ground. Jules Knocker from the Map's Edge shares with us why they offset with our Yaeda Valley REDD project, run by Carbon Tanzania.
Why did you decide to offset the emissions of your business?
Four of us, already in the safari business, started our company and one of the main building blocks we established right at the beginning was to be as environmentally concerned as was possible in such an industry (and survive). We are very much aware that our business and our lifestyle rely on proper management of the environment and while many of the contributory factors are beyond our control, there are some steps we can take to improve the situation. Carbon offset is one easy mechanism for making a difference as our clients all use long haul and internal flights, they drive and the hotels can have quite heavy carbon footprints. By setting an example, and explaining to all our clients and our guides why we are doing this, we hope to spread the word and encourage others to make their own green choices. You add all these small steps together and you create a big stride.
Carbon off-set is just one of the 'green' steps we have chosen to take. We also run a campaign, set up by us, to discourage the use of disposable plastic water bottles and provide all our clients with stainless steel water bottles and bulk drinking water in the cars. We provide information on reducing waste, run our office in the most waste efficient way we can and our town trips are done on public transport rather than with a company car. Our guides are trained to be environmentally sensitive and respectful of the animals/birds and vegetation and we favour accommodations that promote green policies.
I was part of the setup of Responsible Tourism Tanzania and am a member of the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators Conservation Subcommittee, as well as having completed the environmental auditor training with Travel Life.
What does offsetting your emissions involve?
We include a section on our costing invoices that sums up the estimated carbon of the trip. These figures are gleaned from a carbon assessment made for another tourism company that we worked for previously and I was heavily involved in that. The flight information comes from Carbon Tanzania. We have made a calculating table that adds up the various portions: accommodation & cars/international flights/internal flights. Clients can opt out of paying it, but it is automatically included. We understand that this is a rough estimate of carbon so we do not advertise carbon neutral trips.
From our company data I can see that approx 48% of our clients accept our carbon offset contribution, a further 18% already have an offset carbon scheme run by the international tour operator so ours is removed as it would be double offset. Approx 34% ask us to remove the contribution.
We received an award from Carbon Tanzania in April of this year for our carbon offset – approx 650 tonnes in 2013. We were placed first in Tanzania.
Why did you choose to offset with a Plan Vivo certified project?
In a world where there are many schemes that are poorly run, or where too much of the money goes in administration or the carbon trading is run as a money making enterprise and not for the benefit of the environment, it is important to find operations that behave responsibly. Hence a certified project is the way to go.
Which project did you choose to buy from and why?
We do our offsets through Carbon Tanzania – Ecological Initiatives here in Tanzania. For us it was an obvious choice. It is a local company that is making a difference here in Tanzania. They specialise in working with communities and in educating the need for responsible management. Communities do not always grasp the importance of preserving for the future but without their support and contribution, any project would fail. They promote indigenous rights and indigenous tree planting as well as respecting water sources. They have projects that our clients can go and visit and see that their money is making a difference. The people running the project are very active in the environmental scene and do sterling work to lobby and engage with government, international organisations as well as publicizing the issues to the general public.
Are you happy you've chosen to buy credits from this project?

This weekend I walked into the zeiterion theatre not knowing what to expect from the yamato drummers. And I can now say walking out that this show is something that I'm glad to have witness. The emotion from the drummers poured from them off the stage and into the audience and simultaneous "wow"s were heard from almost everybody there. The scenery itself was like that of a dream, & filled with color and art. Now onto the basis of what happened.
The show itself consisted of a group of around 10 drummers who would play an intense loud and booming song. Then one of the group would show off or "challenge" another drummer. Overall the full group music was astonishing but the challenges or "showing off" was probably my favorite part of the whole show. You really get a sense of the drummers skill on their own and there skill in a group. The sounds filled the room well and could be heard from the top of the street. Overall I thought the show was fantastic I'm glad I went and if you go you'll be glad too!

Arsenal: Fans beg club to complete signing of Reinier Jesus
Arsenal fans have been begging the club to complete the signing of Reinier Jesus after reports emerged from Mundo Deportivo.
According to Mundo Deportivo (via The Metro), the Gunners have moved to convince Jesus' dad that the Emirates Stadium is the best destination for his son.
Can Arsenal keep hold of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang?
However, Unai Emery's side aren't the only European club interested in the 17-year-old, with Manchester City, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Juventus also thought to want the youngster (Mundo Deportivo via The Metro).
The player is under contract with Brazilian club Flamengo until 2020 and has a release clause estimated to be £60m.
Should a deal be completed, Reinier would be the second Brazilian teenager to join Arsenal in just under a year, following in the footsteps Gabriel Martinelli, who joined from Ituano.
Fans were excited for a potential move of the highly-courted youngster as they took to Twitter to beg the club to complete the signing.
Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
Sign him he's so good

The Honda NSX is a supercar like no other. Where the first example introduced everyday ability to a class of car known mostly for histrionics, the model's second coming in 2015 – a whole decade after its predecessor went out of production – built on this by making the whole thing hybrid-powered.
A deeply complex system, it combines a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine with three electric motors, two of those operating on the front axle to make this a four-wheel-driven car. The gearbox is a nine-speed automatic.
Total outputs are 573bhp and 476lb ft, enough for a 191mph top speed and 0-62mph in sub three seconds, putting it firmly in the realm of a McLaren 570S or Audi R8. Though with torque vectoring between those front two motors, it shuffles its power around more cleverly than either of its comparatively conventional rivals.
