And great fear came upon all who heard of it. Then, acknowledge that it was your spouse's decision to be dishonest, and that it had nothing to do with you. What could she be hiding? These examples were very earlier on in our marriage. Deep down I feel as if I can never ever trust her again especially after 11+ years of marriage. That would be an inconsistency. Satan is the father of lies.
I have been married for 3 years and my husband is constantly lying to me. This led me to look into what that was. I hav seen my hubby drunk but confronting him does no good. I am so glad you and your girls are away from him. When we choose to lie, we choose to suffer.
He started lying about things when he learned that I felt certain things were not exceptable to me. This is the most basic verbal method for telling if your spouse is lying. Or are the lies an attempt to avoid shame or embarrassment? First, simply put, lying to the court is illegal perjury. You would need the guidance of and maybe even a. Once we see how easy it can be to lie and to control what other people think about us, we start sliding down that slippery slope leading to a miserable, addicted place.
I try to work it out and I feel like a fool for being blunt yet also very forgiving over these 16 years of marriage. I never found anything that was a red flag, but my head strong self was in self defense mode now. I end up living this horrible lie. I raised our children whilst he built his career, my daughter is very difficult and I was left to manage her and her behaviours alone. The difficulty in imposing this plan would depend on the severity of the betrayal and how long the secrets were kept. I just dealt with this in practice and it ended in divorce.
We have 3 girls together. He is more affectionate and admits it when others are around to make him look better. Why would be so welcoming and non-judgmental about this? I felt like something was up, and checked his phone log. But what happens if a lying spouse is trying to cover up an affair? I was under so much guilt and sadness. I met all her friends but this particular guy was different.
He had lied to me before earlier on in the relationship but had promised me that it would not happen again. So I lied to try to avoid hearing some nonsense. I am having a difficult time trying to build trust in our marriage because of my feelings about him lying to me. Leaning away from you is a sign of a cheating, lying husband because we lean away from things we want to avoid. Only 8% of men cheat because they want more physical intimacy.
I told him that I wanted his help, and was amazed that he loved me enough to stick with me even the few times I lied to him and fight it out with me. Be brave and open up! From that she helped us see the resulting behavior patterns and the cycles that followed. To keep your marriage strong, practice being radically honest with your partner. I told him not to bother coming home, I just found out he iled about where he is for the weekend and what he is doing. If she is unwilling to talk about the situation or refuses to answer your questions, it can be a red flag that she's not ready to rebuild the trust in the relationship.
Then put him out or you leave and leave all them memories there or throw away because all theyre going to do is cause you depression each time you rethink or speak on them…. Cite this page: Editor: Stephen Smith. Such shaming reactions often leave an indelible psychic scar, especially in boys who are seen as somehow defective if they express vulnerable feelings. When you start busting through those fears, you become more confident and can slowly begin in trust again. It is so nice to have peace in the house again. I see how after years and years of lies it becomes almost impossible to change it. He means the world to me and I need to stop lying to him.
I tried talking to him and he just blew me off like I was the crazy over reacting one. So quick to lie, so easily adjusting the facts to fit her story. Learn to accept your fault instead of letting someone else take the blame. Remember that God loves your husband no matter what state he is in. My normal lies are quite big ones.
Express Your Feelings It's natural to feel hurt when your spouse lies. I dont know why i did what i did. He swears he is not lying but his story does not make sense. Tell your husband, and laugh about it with him. If you are, chances are good that your relationship will be tried by the mistrust, bitterness and anger that lying causes.

Less is more! Free of bitumen, latex and PVC – in fact, free of any harmful chemicals – the new WELLTEX carpet tile backing minimizes emissions and odor. It is lightweight to transport, flexible and easy to install. High quality acoustic properties. You cannot see it, but you certainly notice it! WELLTEX is now available not just for one specific product range, but for OBJECT CARPET’s entire collection of carpet tiles. WELLTEX is made using recycled materials; it is very environmentally friendly and has particularly effective acoustic benefits. Easy to install, with customized shapes, sizes and colors for orders of 200 square meters or more – these are just some of the advantages of this product, proudly made in Germany.
OBJECT CARPET’s new collection sets important standards for our health and for the environment. It is not enough that 70 per cent of OBJECT CARPET’s new products consist of recycled Econyl®-Garn, which is manufactured from industrial waste and fishing nets.
“We care about more than just the visible surface of our flooring. The entire product matters to us,” says Head of Development and Managing Director Lars Engelke. “After six years of intensive development work, we are delighted to present the new tile coating “WELLTEX”.
OBJECT CARPET focuses consciously on its core competence – developing textile floor coverings. “Carpet already has many inherent advantages as a floor covering, such as dust particle reduction, easy maintenance, and improved acoustic properties. Therefore, we strive to make our textile floor coverings even more fit for the future, setting new standards for healthy living and for the environment. With WELLTEX we have achieved this, as it has so many advantages on so many different levels.” The unique properties of this flooring are particularly evident in its manufacturing materials. “The standard version has a special polyester fleece backing, made of recycled materials, that is pleasing in texture, easy to install and lies perfectly flat. Even our standard version provides greatly improved acoustic values compared with existing types of SL tiles. For our high-performance acoustic version, we have also included an additional acoustic membrane. This means that the feel-good factor in all versions results not just from the innovative reverse backing but also from its acoustic properties”, continues Engelke.
Health advantages: WELLTEX is completely bitumen-free, PVC-free, and latex-free, which means it is particularly low in odor. It produces no harmful emissions. This is guaranteed by the Blue Angel test certificate, which is widely recognized amongst environmentalists. The certificate is awarded by an independent jury and evaluates the entire life cycle of a product. Standards for certification are significantly higher than the legal requirements. All styles of OBJECT CARPET products also fulfil the requirements for use in LEED and DGNB certified buildings, helping to meet the internationally recognized standards for environmentally friendly, resource-efficient and sustainable construction. All our carpet floorings are certified as being made from low-allergen materials, as tested by the TÜV (German Technical Inspection Association), and are labelled “suitable for allergy sufferers”. Recent studies – such as that by the World Green Building Council – also show that contaminated air in inside spaces can reduce people’s productivity by 8-11 per cent.
Acoustic advantages: Human users, their health and well-being are at the heart of our product development. A healthy indoor environment – especially in the workplace – is of primary importance. People work best in healthy surroundings. All of our products have above-average acoustic qualities, since it is well-known that noise disturbance in the workplace also leads to reduced productivity – by up to 30 per cent, according to recent studies – and has negative health effects.
Environmental advantages: A good portion of WELLTEX is made from recycled materials. For example, the visible upper surface and the woven base of our new Places of Origin range, made from ECONYL®-Garn, contains 100 per cent recycled fibres and is fully recyclable after use. Production of ECONYL® uses 15 per cent less water than for traditional yarns. Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 85 per cent and organic waste is reduced by 80 per cent. Furthermore, all resulting surplus raw materials are collected, sorted and returned in full to the product manufacturing cycle.
Product weight and CO² emissions: A single OBJECT CARPET tile weighs only 3.5 kg, which is unusually light. With up to 30 per cent reduced weight compared to existing tiles, the transport mass is significantly reduced – on an order of 10,000 square metres, for example, this represents a total weight saving of 15,000 kg, with a corresponding reduction in CO² emissions.
Installation advantages: Installation of the flexible WELLTEX tiles is simpler than for traditional tiles. One particular advantage: cutting blades do not become smeared with bitumen layers, which make them unusable, requiring frequent replacement. Cutting to shape is much simpler and even trimming in niches, by walls is child’s play, and can be completed without the need for great force.

By far the largest portion of the results are taken up by Health Informatics, which are not always elaborated upon or refined further in the abstracts. These range from designing virtual services for Older People (Mcloughlin, Ian, et al. (2008)), to the use of artificial intelligence to improve health communication (Neuhauser, L., et al. (2013)), as examples.
Second is the application of the Telehealth/care/med code. Telehealth, Telecare and Telemedicine have different focuses in their application. Telehealth and Telemedicine are counted as the same thing in the United Kingdom (RCN, 2015)*, and are concerned with the remote monitoring of physiological data for use by health professionals. Telecare technologies involve the use of alarms, sensors and other equipment to monitor domestic environments and provide local feedback of a person’s condition, with the ability to reach others with pertinent information about the person’s health condition. The application of this code under Digital Artefacts denotes research that had as it’s primary focus the development of the intangible aspects of these systems. A sister code under the Physical Products outputs denotes articles chiefly concerned with the tangible aspects of these technologies.
As with the code for Telehealth/care/med, the Games code has a sister code under Physical Products, with the same criteria defining it’s application.
The abstracts that are coded as Not Specified include Macdonald A, Loudon D, (2011) & Storni, C (2013), with both of these abstracts having a focus more on the project methodology, setting and population than the specifics of the output.
There is a strong drive in health and social care to leverage the power offered by the digital revolution, and whilst health informatics is a long standing companion to heath care provision, the use of design, and specifically user-centred design, offers the possibility of how informatics interacts with the multiple stakeholders in healthcare to deliver services that support clinical practice rather than dictate it. Telehealth is often seen as a panacea for delivering cost effective healthcare, but an argument might be that this ideal will only be released if it is well designed, with the necessary attention to the lived experience of those who might use it.

The development of buyer personas is a vital part of any marketing strategy. It informs marketers on how to find the right audience and develop the right message. Often times buyer personas are just characters on a poster hanging on office wall.
But can marketers get more use out of buyer personas?
Yes. By creating personas inside reporting systems like the CRM, marketers can measure marketing performance in terms of how well they engaging audiences who fit persona criteria. In other words, personas are no longer characters but real contacts inside your CRM.
In this post we’ll describe how to create personas in your CRM and measure marketing performance in terms of reaching and engaging the right people.
We’ll also show how to measure whether content is driving engagement among audiences who fit into your persona definitions.
Defining personas in the CRM is a lot like grading leads.
Grading leads, or accounts, is based on information such as company size, geographic region, and other information relevant to your ideal buyer. Persona definitions refers to individually identifiable information such as job seniority (manager, director, VP, etc.) and job function (IT operations, project management, backend engineer, and etc.).
When a new lead or contact comes into your system via a form submission or list buy, it’s likely you have job title information available to you.
But there are thousands of job titles and many of them are variations that fit into a group or bucket. For examples, CIO, Chief Information Officer, and Assistant CIO all code for the same persona: Senior Level Executive.
So to report on whether your marketing content is attracting Senior Level Executives you’ll need to bucket job titles into a custom field.
Let’s go over how to do this.
You can group contacts by persona in your CRM by creating a custom "Persona" field in that reads the Job Title field and buckets your contacts based on whether they meet certain criteria. At Bizible we use Job Title fields but it is possible to define personas by other information like industry/vertical.
Let’s go through creating this custom field in Salesforce.com.
Go to Setup and then click the Customize drop down menu on the left.
Now choose the Object you’d like to create a custom field for. Choose the Leads or Contacts Object, depending on your current setup. At Bizible we currently use Contacts because we take an account-based marketing approach.
Click New to create a new custom field.
Enter in the formula to sort through and bucket contacts based on Job Title field. Let’s discuss this further below.
There’s some syntax involved for defining the custom field. It’s a lot like an Excel formula.
Let’s use IT personas as an example. Below is the syntax for converting job titles into an inferred VP/CIO persona inside Salesforce.com.
The following syntax says, if the Title field includes the text “hief”, “Vice”, or “CIO” then label the contact in your new custom field as “IT - VP/CIO”.
This syntax also says, if the text does not contain “hief”, “Vice”, or “CIO” then make the value blank. Note: We use “heif” due to case sensitivity, “Chief” and “chief” are used in job titles and Salesforce.com is case sensitive.
The above is just a sample and your actual persona syntax will be quite long depending on the number of personas you have. You may have twenty job titles bucketed into one persona.
We bucket by job function and job seniority. There are other ways to group buyers so use the one most relevant to your business.
Now that you’ve created a custom persona field, it’s possible to run reports and slice your data in terms of persona.
It’s time to consider how to use this newly created persona field.
Let’s first explore where your target personas come from. For example, what are the channels and sources that CIO’s come in through to discover your brand and become a lead or contact?
This kind of reporting is helpful for marketers kicking off a new campaign or markedly adjusting spending in a new channel/source and wanting to measure whether there was an uptick in new contacts that fit a certain job title/level.
For example, you sponsor ads on a site or platform the specializes in reaching senior IT leaders. You can now see whether leads who come from that campaign actually fit your target persona, signaling to you whether this is a valuable place to spend.
Let’s look another report focuses on the number of days from First Touch to Lead Create by channel. This report can signal to marketers whether there’s an opportunity to shorten this cycle with optimizations and improvements targeted at certain personas.
The report focuses on the Social channel and days from First Touch to Lead Create.
We all love short sales cycles and any way that marketing can support this has business value. So which persona has the highest cycle from FT to LC?
Here’s a chart of the number of days from FT to LC conversions by persona. It compares the upper band and the lower bands, 0-50 days and over 200 days, respectively.
A high percentage of contacts that take over 201 days to convert may signal a problem or opportunity for improvement. And high percentages of contacts that take less than 50 days shows that you are doing something well and can replicate the success across different personas (with targeted messaging or improved ads).
Looking at our own data a greater percentage of prospects who fit into our paid media persona take over 200 days to convert. But difference is not so great to warrant concern. Overall it would be nice to decrease the overall cycle time between First Touch to Lead Create for every persona.
Large differences between personas. This can signal that you are doing a better job at attracting and converting one persona over the other. New or better content is likely needed to convert those personas where conversion rates are low.
Large percentages of prospects who take too long to convert. In product marketing it’s a good idea to interview closed lost opportunities to understand why a company decided not to purchase your product. If you find that a large percentage of anonymous visitors take too long to convert into a lead then it’s a good idea to find out why.
Large percentage of prospects who take a short amount of time to convert. You are doing great in this channel and there is an opportunity to learn why and replicate across other personas or channels.
Average Persona engagement needed for conversion. When marketers know how much engagement they need to drive before earning a conversion they can better plan their budgets and control the funnel. A close look at engagement may reveal differences in how much engagement is needed to convert a persona. For example you may find that accounts that convert into opportunities or customers is correlated with high engagement from your decision maker persona.
Marketers can set benchmarks and goals around personas using Bizible’s First Touch to revenue tracking. Using Bizible makes it possible utilize persona fields for account-based marketing measurement, e.g. measuring account coverage and measuring account engagement through the entire sales cycle.
A focus on personas in the CRM can help marketers find patterns around marketing touches among stakeholders in accounts, adding predictability to the sales process. For example, setting a benchmark for engaging key personas in order to support sales in converting an account by measuring average persona engagement needed for account conversion.
Marketing personas are a powerful tool for defining messaging and go-to-market strategy. It’s even more powerful when tracking data can be added to it from an attribution solution like Bizible.

Nebraska landowners who helped doom TransCanada's plan to build its Keystone XL pipeline through the Sandhills say their state is trying to rubber-stamp the project by using a law that loosens environmental and eminent domain protections.
So they're taking legal action.
Randy Thompson, Susan Luebbe and Susan Dunavan challenged Nebraska's controversial "pipeline siting" law in a lawsuit, claiming that it violates the state Constitution. The suit, filed in May, is against Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman, the state treasurer and the director of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
Although the State Department has final say on whether to approve the Keystone XL's northern leg because it crosses a national border, Nebraska regulators are largely responsible for determining whether the pipeline's route through the state is safe to people and the environment. TransCanada's revised path avoids the fragile Sandhills, but it still crosses the Ogallala aquifer, a crucial water source for Nebraskans.
The pipeline siting law, which took effect in April, allows TransCanada and other companies to skirt a rigorous environmental assessment by going through the DEQ, and not through the state's stricter Public Service Commission.
The law also gives Heineman—who supports the pipeline—ultimate authority to approve or reject the Nebraska route. And it lets TransCanada confiscate private land for Keystone XL construction before it's federally approved. The landowners want the law declared unconstitutional and void for giving the governor "unlawful" authority over pipelines and their private property.
But it's still unclear if the case will be allowed to proceed.
During a hearing on Sept. 14, lawyers from the Nebraska Attorney General's office argued that the suit should be thrown out. They said landowners have no right to challenge the $2 million pipeline review process because it isn't being funded by taxpayers.
A judge from Lancaster County District Court is expected to rule on the state's motion to dismiss within the next few weeks.
The offices of the governor, the treasurer and the DEQ all directed questions about the lawsuit to the Nebraska Attorney General's office, which did not respond to requests for information.
Brian Jorde, one of the lawyers representing the landowners, told InsideClimate News he was "hopeful" his clients would get their day in court. The landowners "are essentially speaking on behalf of all Nebraskans," he said. "And if people who are taxpayers—who are landowners—can't [file] a suit to challenge constitutionality, then who can?"
Thompson, Luebbe and Dunavan are three of the most vocal opponents of the Keystone XL, which is designed to carry up to 830,000 barrels a day of dilbit, or diluted bitumen, from Canada to oil refineries in the Gulf Coast. They've played leading roles at hearings and protests and helped fuel the opposition that forced Pres. Obama to reject TransCanada's original path through Nebraska's Sandhills. Obama's move forced the State Department to start its environmental review from scratch, which postponed a final decision on the project to well beyond the presidential election.
All three once lived along the path of the pipeline, and although the current route no longer crosses Thompson's or Luebbe's land, they've stayed in the fight to help other landowners.
The landowners' lawsuit revolves around the contentious LB 1161. The law allows pipeline companies to submit proposed projects to either the DEQ or to the Public Service Commission, which have very different review processes.
The DEQ process requires the agency to hold at least one public hearing but doesn't specify how they will evaluate proposed pipeline routes. Pipelines reviewed by the DEQ are handed to the governor for approval or rejection, and the DEQ cannot overrule the governor's decision. The Public Service Commission adheres to a more rigorous process, requiring pipeline companies to submit detailed information about the environmental impacts of the pipeline route. It does not involve the governor.
Jane Kleeb, director of the anti-Keystone XL group Bold Nebraska, said the current law creates a "choose your own adventure" scenario. She fears that companies will always select the easiest course. "[O]bviously they'll go through the DEQ process because they don't have to disclose much of anything, and the governor gets to easily sign off on the route."
Jorde, the landowners' lawyer, said the problem lies not in the DEQ, but in the lack of safety regulations.
"It's very possible the DEQ will do an outstanding job" evaluating the Keystone XL, he said. "But the law as it's drafted doesn't require a good job. It doesn't have standards or criteria in place."
Randy Thompson said he feels "pretty good" about how the DEQ has reviewed the pipeline route so far. The agency has held multiple public meetings and requested information from TransCanada about the pipeline's impacts on soil and groundwater.
But Thompson said the DEQ's hands are tied, because the ultimate decision lies with the governor. "There's only so much that they [DEQ] can do."
"I'm afraid if this [lawsuit] is thrown out, and we get nothing that's positive for the citizens of Nebraska, what's to prevent any other company in the world from coming in to start condemning people's property?"
In an email to InsideClimate News, TransCanada spokesman Grady Semmens said the company "cannot comment directly on this lawsuit because it is between private landowners and the State of Nebraska."
Semmens added that the company "continues to work collaboratively" with the DEQ on finalizing a route that "minimizes potential impact on Nebraska's land and water resources."
If LB 1161 wasn't passed, the environmental impacts of Keystone XL would have been evaluated by the Public Service Commission.
The commission's authority over proposed oil pipelines was established last fall, when Nebraska lawmakers met in a special session to discuss rerouting Keystone XL around the Sandhills. At that time the legislature passed two bills. One bill directed the DEQ to evaluate TransCanada's reroute. The other bill authorized the commission to create regulations for reviewing future pipelines, other than the Keystone XL.
The bill allowed the DEQ to continue its review, but that wasn't all. One of the many amendments made to the legislation allowed TransCanada to use eminent domain once the governor approves the route. A separate 10-page amendment, introduced just 30 minutes before lawmakers voted to adopt it, made the bill applicable to all future oil pipelines.
Thompson said LB 1161 "absolutely gutted" the Public Service Commission bill passed during the special session last fall. "They've thrown all the landowners in Nebraska under the bus, with the new eminent domain thing. How ridiculous is that idea? The governor could give them eminent domain power, and they could start condemning property in Nebraska when they don't have [the presidential] permit."
Bold Nebraska and other pipeline opponents lobbied against the bill, but it's difficult to tell how much they spent because their funds were spread out over dozens of bills, most of which were unrelated to the Keystone XL. Kleeb estimates they used a total of $10,000 on LB 1161.
The landowners said they prefer the Public Service Commission process because it's more transparent. "I feel like the PSC really kind of listens to what people have to say," Thompson said.
Funding is another point of contention, and it could play an important role in the court's ruling on whether to dismiss the case.
LB 1161 authorizes the DEQ to spend up to $2 million for its review, which would be reimbursed by TransCanada once DEQ completes its evaluation. This is why the state's lawyers argued that landowners have no standing as taxpayers in this case.
Jorde disagreed. "There are public funds being expended given on loan to TransCanada," he said. "And hopefully TransCanada would agree sometime in the future to pay that back."
"But what if the governor were to reject the route?" Jorde asked. "How eager will they be [to pay the money back]? How do we enforce that?"
Unlike the DEQ, the Public Service Commission can send pipeline companies periodic invoices and charge interest for late payments. "PSC has [a] process for appealing billings," Jorde said in an email. "DEQ [has] no such option. Money is ultimately from tax revenues."
Laura Demman, director of the Public Service Commission's natural gas department, told InsideClimate News the agency is unaffected by the landowners' lawsuit. The commission released the latest version of its draft rules in August and is now collecting public comments. The final regulations could be released as early as November.

The King of the Monsters is back, and it looks like he's not going away anytime soon.
For months now we've been wondering just how much power director Gareth Edwards' Godzilla reboot would pack with American audiences, and now we know. The legendary kaiju stomped all over expectations by delivering a spectacular $93 million domestic box-office haul this weekend, coupled with a $103 million international take. The appetite for a new vision of everyone's favorite movie monster is bigger than we thought, and now Legendary Pictures and company want more.
Deadline confirmed Sunday that the studio is now working on a sequel to Edwards' massive monster blockbuster, which still has plenty of money left to make in the coming days and weeks. Edwards has teased ideas for another Godzilla feature in interviews leading up to the flick's release, but he's steered clear of saying anything definite, and Legendary head Thomas Tull has been clear about the fact that the studio didn't want to talk sequels until it was proven that the first film was successful. Now the first film has proven itself beyond even optimistic expectations, so it makes sense that Legendary is mounting another monster clash for another upcoming blockbuster season.
As for who will be involved in the sequel, or what other kaiju might join Godzilla in the big screen, well ... that's anyone's guess at this point. But as we all know, that's half the fun of thinking about sequels. So what do you think? Should another legendary Japanese monster hit the big screen for Godzilla's sequel? Will we get Mothra? Rhodan? Ghidorah? Anguirus? Mechagodzilla? Whatever happens next, it's time for fans of this instant hit flick to rejoice, because this time around the Godzilla reboot seems to have caught on, and we're not done yet.

Love, real and enduring love, is exceptionally hard to find. It’s a miraculous flowering that happens in this otherwise coldly indifferent world.
It’s what we live for, love. It’s what creates many of us, it’s what ultimately defines us and it’s certain it’s all that remains of us.
For one reason and another, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about love. Decades of my time, actually, contemplating it. The fate of love, in particular, has always fascinated me above anything else.
Let’s face it -- most of life is like a visit to a dentist’s office. There are the impersonal stares of all the strangers around us, the receptionist’s interest in making sure we pay, and there’s the internal battle to remain positive faced with the faint dread of what could happen. This is how most of us live.
Given that it is, it’s no wonder we spend so much time in pursuit of a deeper connection.
Not everyone shares my enthusiasm about love, I realize. This week I read that the archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols, announced that if employees want to keep their jobs as teachers in Catholic schools in Britain, they should not marry divorcees, or get married in registry offices, or enter into any other kind of legal civil ceremonies (such as civil partnerships) that do not meet with the Catholic Church’s approval.
Apart from its bracing fundamentalism, that directive is remarkable for its cruelty. Does the archbishop actually believe there is such a surfeit of love in this world that we can cheerfully prescribe how we encounter it?
This stark directive from the archbishop takes aim at both heterosexuals and homosexuals and tells them bluntly that falling for a divorcee or marrying in a borough hall or signing a civil union will not only be disapproved of, it will now get them fired.
Well that’s tidy, isn’t it? Just conform to the church’s increasingly rigid interpretation of the gospel and make the life choice to say goodbye to the person you happen to love.
It’s what Jesus would ask of you, we feel certain. Who could possibly object to that?
I object, but I know there are a lot of people who feel differently. There are many people who put fidelity to an idea, or faith in a theology, over the untidy realities of our daily lives.
They prefer biting rules to wiggle room. They reject what the poet Michal Longley calls the drunkenness of things being various in favor of the sobriety of a command.
These people fascinate me. In particular their search for clarity, their search for order, at the expense of the complicating insights of their head and heart, at the expense of human experience itself, fascinate me.
All my life I have watched the myriad ways in which otherwise principled people end up saying no to life. Saying no, that is, to the very thing that will save them.
Because their salvation came at the wrong time, or because the person that offered it was the wrong race, or they had the wrong social or religious background, or the wrong gender, or they once said the wrong thing.
Saying no to life, saying no to love, is no small thing. It takes very considerable effort.
It is an exceptionally hard bargain that many people make in anticipation of a later reward (perhaps as late as after life). Once you’ve done it, once you’ve said no to life, which is also saying no to love, both life and love tend to say no right back to you. Often till the end of your days.
This is inevitable, because, as I said, there is so very little love in the world to begin with.
I’ve watched it happen. I have seen people around me possessed by an idea at the expense of own their head and heart.
They will exchange what they think and feel for something they have been told and then tell others. Believing they can do no harm, because they stand for good, they can make loveless wastelands of their own lives.
And here’s one of the things I have learned from watching them -- the hallmark of freedom is generosity, just as the hallmark of love is kindness.
If you can’t find either in the way you’re living or in the way that someone is asking you to live, that’s your first clue you’re going in the wrong direction.

Album #216 for DMT Tapes FL is 踊るできませんでした1 by Tilvera. Little is known about this artist; their only other release is full-length 深夜の議論, which was also released on DMT Tapes FL in 2015 as the label’s eighty-ninth release. They have also appeared on several compilations with DMT Tapes FL, although none featured new tracks.
踊るできませんでした is a four-track classic-style/ECCOJAMS release that samples existing pop media. The samples are given the swirly production aesthetic common to ECCOJAMS releases, with stand-out cut “Dawn” being the best example. The other three tracks are straightforward classic-style; the samples themselves are sonically interesting, but they have little other context by which to evaluate them outside of being slowed-down songs designed to elicit nostalgia. Grab “Dawn” if you are interested – there’s a reason why it was featured twice on DMT Tapes FL compilations.

Looking for a loan isn’t exactly an easy experience. When you have not-so-ideal credit it can be downright excruciating. Most traditional lenders will immediately reject a loan application if the applicant’s credit score is not above a certain number. But what these lenders don’t seem to understand is tough economic circumstances may have caused someone’s credit score to drop in the past. Even if that person is completely financially responsible and trustworthy now, they will turn away a potential client.
At LoanMart, we won’t judge you based on your credit score. Instead of determining your loan amount based off of your credit score, LoanMart looks at the equity of your vehicle and your ability to repay your loan1. LoanMart might check your credit, but just to make sure you are not currently declaring bankruptcy or going through pre-bankruptcy financial counseling.

This answer applies whatever your gender/sexual orientation is. I find that it is far more useful when approaching the subject of sexual identity of a crush to ask not the question, �Are they gay, straight, or bisexual?� but rather �Are they attracted to me in particular?�... Set your chalk line on the 1-inch mark at the end of the final board. Stretch the line to the far end of the course, and put it right on the corner of the end of the last piece, on the side closest to the wall. Snap the line. The resulting line should run at an angle from your 1-inch mark at one end of the course, to the corner of the other end, crossing each of the boards that make up the course.
Terrible because it misleads you into thinking that being exclusive with him is a matter of hitting the right marks in your relationship and having the right things happen. So I�m going to set the record straight.
Then she asked, "How can I tell if I'm gay, straight or bi?" That's when I decided to make this quiz. I realized how I knew I was bi - it's a long story. Please understand that this quiz is NOT 100% accurate. If you're straight, gay or bi, you'll know. But this quiz will help you think.

Gout affects 2.1 million Americans; most are men 40 to 50 years of age. The most common symptom of gout is sudden, severe attacks of pain and swelling in some joints. It usually affects one joint at a time, especially the joint of the big toe, but can also affect the knee, ankle, foot, hand, wrist and elbow.
Although known as the big misery, gout has been studied for years. Some control is now available through the use of drugs but others find drugs to be a problem also. Goode Wraps has developed an ankle wrap and self adhesive tapes that many find very effective.
"supporting the hypothesis of a significant decrease in reported pain of subjects receiving treatment of topically applied Goode Wraps HexTapes as compared to subjects receiving placebo therapy".
Gout is a condition recognized by irate crystals in the joints or tissues. The descriptions of gout include asymptomatic hyperuricemia, acute gouty arthritis, intercritical gout and chronic tophaceous gout.
I am an Internet marketer and can usually detect sites that are less than honest. Although your products are expensive and I have no idea what a Rare Earth Semi-conductor is, I decided to try your product because your claims rang true to me. I was searching for a product that could help me with my swollen and painful feet. I just received my order yesterday and the improvement is remarkable. I was able to wear shoes today that would not go on yesterday and the pain is very much improved. The fact you can treat gout is amazing.
They are elasticized compression shorts or sports wraps. Each of these is impregnated with a unique blend of natural rare earth semiconductors. Goode Wraps are available for the hip, groin, foot, ankle, knee, elbows, and wrist. In fact, the semiconductors can be added to almost any cloth like material.
This tube wrap pulls on over your foot and ankle. It has the toes and heel open so you can wear it with your own stockings. The Ankle Wrap can also be used as a Small Knee Wrap or Small Elbow Wrap. Just rotate the cut-out heel area away from the pain.
This wrap will fit if the circumference of you instep and ankle are both 7-to-13 inches.
A new product just available designed for muscle trigger points or hard to reach muscles, toes, heels, foot and finger knuckles (i.e. Gout). Relieve symptoms of varicose veins. Small self adhesive tapes about the size of a dime. A package of five sheets with 23 HexTapes on each page for only 20.00 (Read This ) These Tapes are amazing.
A double-blind, placebo quasi-experimental design was used to study the effects of topically applied Goode Wraps Adhesive HexTapes on osteoarthritis pain of 47 adult subjects. Self-administration of the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire was used to measure pain prior to treatment, two hours after treatment, and two days after initiation of treatment. Orems Theory of Self-Care was the theoretical basis for this study.
T-test analyses of data demonstrated a moderate decrease in pain after two hours for both the HexTapes and placebo groups and a significant decrease in pain in only the HexTape group after two days of treatment, supporting the hypothesis of a significant decrease in reported pain (gout) of subjects receiving treatment of topically applied Goode Wraps HexTapes as compared to subjects receiving placebo therapy.
Genetically governed susceptibility to joint breakdown; inflammatory response within caused by release of prostaglandins and inflammatory lysozymes; stretched nerve endings in the periosteum; muscle spasm and joint instability leading to stretching of the joint capsule; or microfractures in the subchondral bone or medullary hypertension caused by distortion of blood flow are considered possible causes of the painful symptoms of osteoarthritis (Isselbacher et al., 1994; Rakel, 1995). Chronic pain of osteoarthritis is costly in dollars, personal suffering, decreased productivity, and quality of life (AF, 1996).
Management of osteoarthritis focuses on symptom abatement, which often includes treatment and regulation by healthcare professionals. Symptom management is often unsatisfactory for osteoarthritis patients due to the subjectivity of the pain experience (Debock, Marwijk, Kaptein, & Mulder, 1994). Currently accepted interventions include prescribed and over-the-counter medications, surgery, warm and cold applications, joint protection, exercise, and rest (Isselbacher et al., 1993).
Dissatisfaction with these interventions has led many osteoarthritis patients to seek other therapies that have not been proven effective in repeated scientific studies. Eisenberg et al. (1993) reported that one in three respondents used alternative therapies to treat problems such as arthritis pain, making more visits to alternative practitioners than to U.S. primary care physicians.
These products have not been pre-cleared by FDA although applications have been filed and will be reviewed shortly based on promising scientific research. Only FDA can conclude that a medical device is safe and effective for an intended use.

South Africa quick Duanne Olivier has turned his back on international cricket after signing a Kolpak contract with County Championship side Yorkshire.
Olivier this week broke into the top 20 of the ICC's Test bowling rankings but has now committed to Yorkshire for the next three years.
It continues a worrying trend for the Proteas, with the likes of Kyle Abbott and Rilee Rossouw having previously left the South African system to commit to Kolpak deals, whereby players do not have to be registered as overseas signings.
Olivier conceded it was a tough call to make but felt Yorkshire's offer was too good to turn down.
"I would be lying if I said this wasn't a difficult decision to make," he said via a statement released by Yorkshire.
"It's giving up playing for my country with no guarantees of playing international cricket again.
"But at the end of the day, I needed to be true to myself. I've only got this one chance to see where my talent can take me and Yorkshire just felt right to me."
Olivier has played 10 Tests since making his debut in January 2017 and was named Man of the Series in South Africa's 2-1 series win over Pakistan - taking 24 wickets across the three matches.
He took a further seven in the recent two-match series with Sri Lanka, which ended in defeat for South Africa.
"I would say I've been in good form for the last few years. It has definitely been my most consistent period and I think my stats could attest to that," he added.
"I have definitely enjoyed playing Test cricket. The Pakistan tour was by far my stand-out tour. I loved every moment of that tour. It's definitely one I won't forget."

Take a look under the hood of Kubernetes's autoscaling infrastructure with this article that breaks down how each works separately and together.
How am I going to scale pods and applications?
How can I keep containers running in a healthy state and running efficiently?
With the on-going changes in my code and my users’ workloads, how can I keep up with such changes?
I’m providing in this post a high-level overview of different scalability mechanisms inside Kubernetes and best ways to make them serve your needs. Remember, to truly master Kubernetes, you need to master different ways to manage the scale of cluster resources, that’s the core of promise of Kubernetes.
Configuring Kubernetes clusters to balance resources and performance can be challenging, and requires expert knowledge of the inner workings of Kubernetes. Just because your app or services’ workload isn’t constant, it rather fluctuates throughout the day if not the hour. Think of it as a journey and ongoing process.
Effective Kubernetes auto-scaling requires coordination between two layers of scalability: (1) Pods-layer autoscalers, including the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) and Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA), both of which scale available resources for your containers; and (2) cluster-level scalability, which os managed by the Cluster Autoscaler (CA), that scales up or down the number of nodes inside your cluster.
As the name implies, HPA scales the number of pod replicas. Most DevOps use CPU and memory as the triggers to scale more pod replicas or less. However, you can configure it to scale your pods based on custom metrics, multiple metrics, or even external metrics.
HPA works best with deployment objects as opposed to replication controllers. It does not work with a rolling update using direct manipulation of replication controllers. It depends on the deployment object to manage the size of underlying replica sets when you do a deployment.
Vertical Pods Autoscaler (VPA) allocates more (or less) CPU or memory to existing pods. Think of it as giving pods some growth hormones. It can work for both stateful and stateless pods but it is built mainly for stateful services. However, you can use it for stateless pods as well if you would like to implement an auto-correction of resources you initially allocated for your pods. VPA can also reacts to OOM (out of memory) events. VPA requires currently for the pods to be restarted to change allocated cpu and memory. When VPA restarts pods it respects pods distribution budget (PDB) to make sure there is always the minimum required number of of pods. You can set the min and max of resources that the VPA can allocate to any of your pods. For example, you can limit the maximum memory limit to be no more than 8 GB. This is useful in particular when you know that your current nodes cannot allocate more than 8 GB per container. Read the VPA’s official wiki page for detailed spec and design.
VPA has also an interesting feature called the VPA Recommender. It watches the historic resources usage and OOM events of all pods to suggest new values of the “request” resources spec. The Recommender generally uses some smart algorithm to calculate memory and CPU values based on historic metrics. It also provides an API that takes the pod descriptor and provides suggested resources requests.
VPA mainly updates the resources inside the deployment or replication controller specs.
When pods are restarted the new resources all applied to the created instances.
Changes in resources are not yet possible without restarting the pod. Main rational so far, is that such a change may cause a lot of instability. Hence, the thinking to restart the pods and let it be scheduled based on the newly allocated resources.
Cluster Autoscaler (CA) scales your cluster nodes based on pending pods. It periodically checks whether there are any pending pods and increases the size of the cluster if more resources are needed and if the scaled up cluster is still within the user-provided constraints. CA interfaces with the cloud provider to request more nodes or deallocate idle nodes. It works with GCP, AWS and Azure. Version 1.0 (GA) was released with Kubernetes 1.8.
The CA checks for pods in pending state at a default interval of 10 seconds.
When there is one or more pods in pending state because of there are not enough available resources on the cluster to allocate on the cluster them, then it attempts to provision one or more additional nodes.
Kubernetes scheduler allocates the pending pods to the new node. If some pods are still in pending state, the process is repeated and more nodes are added to the cluster.
Use “cluster-autoscaler.kubernetes.io/safe-to-evict”: “true” responsibly. If you set many of your pods or enough pods that are on all your nodes, you will lose a lot of flexibility to scale down.
If you would like to reach nirvana autoscaling your Kubernetes cluster, you will need to use pod layer autoscalers with the CA. The way they work with each other is relatively simple as show in the below illustration.
HPA or VPA update pod replicas or resources allocated to an existing pod.
If no enough nodes to run pods post scalability event, CA picks up the fact that some or all of the scaled pods in pending state.
Pods are scheduled on the provisioned nodes.
I’ve seen in different forums, such as Kubernetes slack channels and StackOverflow questions, common issues due to some facts that many DevOps miss while getting their feet wet with autoscalers.
HPA and VPA depend on metrics and some historic data. If you don’t have enough resources allocated, your pods will be OOM killed and never get a chance to generate metrics. Your scale may never take place in this case.
Scaling up is the mostly a time-sensitive operation. You want your pods and cluster to scale fairly quickly before your users experience any disruption or crashes in your application. You should consider the average time it can take your pods and cluster to scale up.
Do not confuse cloud provider scalability mechanisms with the CA. CA works from within your cluster while cloud provider’s scalability mechanism (such as ASGs inside AWS) work based on nodes allocation. It is not aware of what’s taking place with your pods or application. Using them together will render your cluster unstable and hard to predict behavior.
Kubernetes is a resources management and orchestration tool. Day-2 operations to manage your pods and cluster’s resources are a key milestone in your journey mastering Kubernetes.
Have the right mental model in mind focusing the pods scalability using HPA and VPA.
CA is recommended if you have a good understanding of your pods and containers needs.
Understanding how different autoscalers work together will help you configure your cluster.
Make sure you plan for worst case and best case scenarios when it comes to how long it will take your pods and cluster to scale up or down.

29°C is just starting to get uncomfortable out on the bike. Nice little ride. Bit hung over were we?
Nice ride Andrew. I was out with another Connie rider for most of the day on Sunday with temps around 30 degrees. In full leathers and despite good hydration, didn't feel too flash at the end of it. Easy to get heat exhaustion in these conditions.
Saturday was definitely the cooler day for riding. It was actually a little cold till about 11am. Only had on a Tee-shirt under my Klim enduro jacket so not a lot of thermal protection. No wind gets through it (unless you open the awesome venting) so wasn't too bad. Was near perfect for the rest of the day.
Yep, shoulda gone with you chaps eh?

What is a Contact Lens Evaluation (and why do I have to pay extra)?
Have you ever found yourself wondering why you have to pay extra to have a prescription for contact lenses? My patients often tell me the same things: their prescription hasn't changed in years, they like the comfort of their lenses, they just want their same prescription again. At my office, I never renew a prescription without evaluating the contact lens on the eye, testing vision, and checking the eye carefully for any signs of damage from contact lens wear. These actions are the contact lens evaluation, an additional piece of the exam that glasses wearers would not need. Typically your vision insurance has a separate copay for a contact lens evaluation because they also understand that it is a separate part of the exam. What are the components of a thorough contact lens evaluation?
In the slit lamp microscope, your doctor will be painstakingly checking the corneal tissue. The cornea is the clear surface over top of the iris where your contact lens sits. The tissue functions like a window, allowing light to pass through into the eye. Contact lenses can cause major damage to the corneal tissue if they are fitting too tightly, too loosely, or not allowing enough oxygen to pass through to the cornea underneath. I look for several tell-tale signs of contact lens complications. Are there small scars in the otherwise clear corneal tissue? Those could be from old bacterial infections or areas where the corneal tissue died from lack of oxygen. Are there blood vessels growing into the corneal tissue? This is called corneal neovascularization and is a hallmark of poor oxygen passage. The cornea should be clear, and if blood vessels are invading the cornea, you not only have a "red rimmed" eye appearance, you have cloudy corneal tissue and areas that are at higher risk for infection. Scar tissue and blood vessel growth means that we need to either change your contact lens to a higher oxygen material, or change how you are wearing your lens if you are not following federal guidelines for your particular contact lens material.
Your glasses prescription helps guide the contact lens powers that your doctor selects, but your glasses Rx is NOT the same as your contact lens prescription. If you have a high prescription in glasses, or if you have astigmatism, your doctor performs mathematical calculations to change the glasses Rx into an appropriate contact lens power. Glasses sit on your face, but contact lenses sit on your eye. The higher your prescription, the more that difference in distance matters. You should ALWAYS have your vision checked in your contact lenses at some point during your eye examination. I also trial different lenses over the contact lenses to make sure I don't need to go stronger or weaker with the correction to improve visual acuity.
I often tell my patients to think of their contact lens like a shoe. They come in all different shapes and sizes (there are a ton of brands out there!), and your contact lens needs to be shaped correctly to properly fit your unique eye. There is no one contact lens brand that will work for every patient. Think about how much your foot hurts when your shoes are too tight or too loose. And that is your foot! The eye is so much more delicate and vital to your life! If your contact lens fits improperly, you are at higher risk of scarring and infection. The lens should move a little as you blink to let oxygen and tears pass underneath, but not too much as to be easily dislodged. Even if you have worn that brand for years, the shape of your cornea may change with time and the fit must still be carefully evaluated every time you see your doctor.
The biggest take home? Your doctor is not trying to waste your time by evaluating contact lenses on your eye. I often meet with annoyance when I ask my patients to put on contact lenses for me to evaluate when they have "worn these for years!". But after a discussion of the importance, my patients understand that I am just making sure that they are safely wearing contact lenses for the rest of the year. Contact lenses are a medical device, and they are sitting on one of the most sensitive and vital structures of your body all day long. It requires a vigilant doctor and a vigilant contact lens wearing patient to prevent potential permanent damage to the eye when you wear contact lenses.

The competition has also ensured that gamers continue getting some impressive updated gameplay. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you FIFA 2010!"
"Namco Bandai's Pro Evolution Soccer" ???
And the review is biased, this reviews are funny how they state all bad points (and severe) and finally a score that never shows the truth.
I'm curious about reading this idiots review about PES.

Russia began providing the new S-300 systems to Syria’s air defenses, but these are only part of a new operational concept centered on a real-time command and control system that Russia has transferred to Syria and is being revealed for the first time.
Analysis of publications and images from the Russian system’s recent days shows that Russia is deploying a command and control system called “Panorama” as part of a new “operational concept” for real-time control over the various components of the air force deployed in Syria.
It is the spring of a digital air-to-air system that concentrates all aerial defense systems, ground and aerial control and electronic warfare into a unified battle picture in a centralized Russian command, in a way that will ensure synchronization and control of all the missions conducted at a given moment in the air space, Thus enabling the Russian forces (which manage from the Hmeimim base all the aerial detachments and coordination with foreign forces) to control the Russian anti-aircraft systems in the hands of the Syrian army as well as the S-300 systems that will be transferred to them.
In effect, Syria subordinates Syria’s air defenses and the new S-300s, even if they are run by Syrian teams, to Russian command and control that can control the launch complexes and prevent unwanted intercepts.
The aerial image received at the system’s control center will consist of a large array of detection and sensor systems that Russia is currently deploying across Syria and will provide the Russians with an aerial image in an overlapping radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Pitching to investors is one of the most important skills an entrepreneur must learn.
Investors can unlock the capital you need to really grow your business. A typical VC will look at hundreds if not thousands of pitches in a year, so how do you create a pitch that stands out and impacts the VC?
At Atlantic Bridge, we look for companies with IMPACTS: seven simple criteria that you can use to hone your message and communicate your message effectively.
What does your company do and why is it so important to customers that they will pay you for it? Use simple language and avoid overly technical terms. Make sure it is understandable to someone who knows nothing about your business.
What market are you targeting, how big is it and how fast can your company grow and scale within that market? Speak about the structure of the market and if you will be creating a new market or disrupting an existing one. What are the barriers to entry and how do you plan on overcoming them?
The people in your team are very important, especially at an early stage. We want to see that you have a strong and credible management team behind you. Do you have the applicable skills, expertise and relevant experience needed? Mention the mix of technical and commercial expertise that exists and how you are going to overcome any skill gaps that may exist.
It is paramount that your company is aligned with the investors strategies and themes. Research what companies they have invested in in the past and if they invest in your sector and stage. If your company secures investment, will you and your investors be aligned on the future direction of the company?
Investors will want to know what makes you different and how you stand out in comparison to competition. Be sure to make your unique selling points clear to investors and also speak about what barriers to entry you can create to make it difficult for a new entrant to take customers from you. Dont make the mistake of saying there is no competition; no competition usually means no market!
Investors want to see what traction you have to date and what customers you are already engaged with. This is the best way to show you have something of value. Have metrics most relevant to your business to prove that you are going to grow rapidly. This could be revenue, number of users, number of trials, etc.
Investors are interested in companies that can scale and grow rapidly. Highlight your route to market and how you will gain future customers as well as speaking about your business model, sales cycle and how these may allow for rapid growth and accumulation of customers. Investors will also want to see a financial plan that realistically funds this growth.
So there you have it: seven key points to remember when pitching to investors. Just remember what IMPACTS!

Love and Revolution is the first comprehensive biography of the best-known Urdu poet of recent times, a portrait of the man behind the poetry—activist, revolutionary, family man, connoisseur of life—and a reading of his poetry in the context of his life and times.
Living through the holocaust of partition, Faiz tried to make sense of it through his poetry. In the new nation of Pakistan, he played a prominent role not just as a cultural ambassador but also as a journalist, an important voice of dissent that refused to be stifled, a builder of enduring cultural institutions and an educationist. Awarded the Nishan-e-Imtiaz, Pakistan’s highest civilian honour after his death, Faiz served prison terms and faced the threat of execution during his lifetime for his left leanings and outspoken criticism of the authoritarian regime.
Written by Faiz’s grandson, this book grants the reader privileged access to the poet through the memories of friends and family members as well as rare letters, documents and photos.
Ali Madeeh Hashmi is a psychiatrist, writer and translator. His most recent book, What Will You Give for This Beauty? was published by Penguin Books. He is the eldest grandchild of Faiz Ahmed Faiz, a Trustee of the Faiz Foundation Trust, Pakistan, and President of Faiz Foundation Inc., USA. He lives in Lahore where he teaches and practises psychiatry.

The 28th Boat Race between crews from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge took place on the River Thames on the 1 April 1871. The race, umpired by Joseph William Chitty, was won by Cambridge by one length in a time of 23 minutes 10 seconds for their second consecutive victory.
Joseph William Chitty was the umpire for the 1871 Boat Race.
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues"). The race was first held in 1829, and since 1845 has taken place on the 4.2-mile (6.8 km) Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London. Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions, having defeated Oxford by three lengths in the previous year's race, while Oxford led overall with sixteen wins to Cambridge's eleven.
Oxford were coached by W. D. Benson (their non-rowing president, who had rowed three times for the Dark Blues in the 1868, 1869 and 1870 races). Cambridge's coach was John Graham Chambers (who rowed in the 1862 and 1863 race, and was a non-rowing president for the 1865 race) and John Hilton Ridley (who rowed in the 1869 and 1870 races).
The race was umpired by Joseph William Chitty who had rowed for Oxford twice in 1849 (in the March and December races) and the 1852 race, while the starter was Edward Searle.
The Oxford crew weighed an average of 12 st 4.125 lb (76.1 kg), 2.75 pounds (1.2 kg) more than their opponents. The Cambridge crew saw only three new rowers, with five returning from the 1870 race, including the Cambridge University Boat Club president John Goldie and William Henry Lowe in their third appearance in the event, along with the cox Henry Erskine Gordon. Similarly, Oxford saw five of their crew return, including S. H. Woodhouse at bow and Thomas Southey Baker who were participating in their third Boat Races.
There was "little or no tide and head wind over part of the course" according to Drinkwater. Cambridge won the toss and elected to start from the Surrey station, handing the Middlesex station to Oxford. The umpire, Chitty, got the race underway at 10.08 a.m., with Cambridge taking an early lead. The Light Blues had a clear water advantage by the Point and held a two-length lead by the time the crews shot Hammersmith Bridge. Despite a spurt instigated by Oxford stroke Robert Lesley at Barnes Bridge, Goldie remained steady until, before the final twenty strokes, he increased the stroke rate and saw Cambridge home by one length in a time of 23 minutes 10 seconds for their second consecutive victory and took the overall record to 16–12 in Oxford's favour.

Just a reminder..Chilliwack Summer Fly In is scheduled for Aug 23 and 24....but you can come earlier, and stay a few days later if you like...there's always room at the field for your RV or tent.....and we're always happy to have you here.
Ya'll have a great time!
I've been at the last 23 fly-ins (2 per year), I won't miss # 24.
Brad, I'll see you there! Sarah and I plan to arrive on Friday. This is only our #4, but we're still young!
Will Sir Fishwick be accompanying you again?
I will certainly be there for some of the days. I managed to get to the Chilliwack club event last Saturday. For most of the time Gerry and I were the only participants. Sure it did rain frequently then blew a gale!
The field was in great shape and know there is a separate heli area.
On Sunday evening, I will be coming down from the mountain. My niece is back from the cruise but they just dropped in to get a change of clothes and have taken off to Whistler for the weekend. Unfortunately, that means I must remain up here and try to get by with all of the luxuries that Brad mentioned. I will, however, be coming up to Chilliwack with Brad. Looking forward to seeing you both again.
Looking forward to seeing you too Ron, I too have been to many many of the meets at Chilliwack. By the way, I have rebuilt my old LT40 and will be bringing it up to fly this next weekend. I have flown this airplane dozens of times at chilliwack, it is my all time favorite.
Looking forward to seeing all of the regulars again and hope to meet all of the newcomers as well.
I''m looking forward to this and will be there on Thursday I think, but w/o my beloved Laura who doesn't get the 5 weeks A/V that I do. There was a chance she might swing the time off, but no luck with a bunch of co-workers leaving.
I'll be traveling light with just a Spit, an EZ glider and a couple of heli's. No extra's that basically stay in the van anyway, & just a few heli parts.
And something odd has happened - instead of rushing to finish off a heli rebuild or model project (such as an autogyro or glider I have waiting/begging to be built), I've been busy shopping for a flash-based DV camcorder, LOL. And if you knew me like my wife does, you would expect that I'd spend a lot of time researching my decision and then return the first purchase or two And I hope that I won't miss the 37X optical zoom camera I returned to get an HD one with only 12X optical (but has OIS), when it comes to trying to fill the screen with an aircraft. So I'll be another guy on the edge of the runway enticing pilots to fly close to the ground at "just the right angle to the sun"
How's the Weather Forecast Looking??
If all goes as planned, I should arrive late Wednesday PM or Thursday AM..
Just finished my new T-Rex 500 and hope to ring out any bugs before the start of the weekend..
Will be bring the usual lineup..
So I'll be another guy on the edge of the runway enticing pilots to fly close to the ground at "just the right angle to the sun"
John, if I get anything worthwhile I'll send you a DVD.
Every body have a safe trip here..see you on the field.
Things are crazy here today so I won't be arriving until well after dark tonight. See you at the field (or maybe the float pond, though I'm not bringing anything to fly on floats this time - another casualty to it being crazy at work) tomorrow.
