The Epodes, written by the Roman poet Horace, are a collection of 16 poems composed in the 1st century BC. These poems, written in an iambic trimeter, explore a variety of themes and topics, ranging from love and friendship to political satire and philosophy. have endured for centuries as a classic example of Latin literature, and provide an insight into life in the ancient Roman Empire.
Quintus Horatius Flaccus, better known as Horace, was born in 65 BC in Venusia, Apulia, in Italy. The son of a freed slave, Horace was educated in Rome, where he became friends with the poet Virgil. He served in the Roman army, and later became a government clerk. In 37 BC, he was granted a prestigious pension by the Roman Emperor, Augustus, and he retired to a villa in the countryside. Horace wrote his Epodes between 30 and 25 BC, and these poems were published shortly after his death in 8 BC.
Themes in the Epodes
The Epodes explore a range of themes, from the everyday to the philosophical. Horace’s writing often focuses on love, friendship, and the importance of cherishing the present moment. He also explores the idea of free will and the concept of fate, as well as the importance of moderation and self-control. Horace also takes aim at political corruption and the power of money, and he laments the passing of time and the inevitability of death.
The Structure of the Epodes
The Epodes are written in an iambic trimeter, a poetic meter consisting of three metrical feet. Each poem is composed of three stanzas, each containing four lines. The first two stanzas are written in dactylic hexameter, and the last stanza is written in an iambic trimeter. This structure allows Horace to explore his themes in a concise and powerful way.
The Language of the Epodes
The language of the Epodes is simple and direct, with Horace often using colloquial language and everyday imagery. He often employs the use of metaphors, similes, and allusions to enhance his writing. His use of language is often witty and ironic, and he often employs a technique called “catachresis,” wherein he uses words in unexpected or unusual ways.
The Influence of the Epodes
The Epodes have had a lasting influence on Western literature and philosophy. Writers such as Shakespeare, Goethe, and Keats were all heavily influenced by Horace’s writings. In later centuries, his writing was a source of inspiration for the Romantics, who sought to capture the beauty and power of nature in their own works.
remain one of the most enduring works of Latin literature. Although the language and themes of the Epodes may seem outdated to modern readers, Horace’s writing still speaks to us today. His poems offer timeless wisdom on love, friendship, and mortality, and provide us with a window into life in the ancient Roman Empire.
Horace’s Relevance in the 21st Century
In the 21st century, Horace’s writings are still relevant. His poems are full of wisdom, and offer timeless advice on how to live a fulfilling life. His writing is often witty and ironic, and his use of language is both powerful and poetic. remind us of the importance of cherishing the present moment and living life to the fullest.
are a timeless masterpiece of Latin literature. They offer a unique insight into life in the ancient Roman Empire, and their themes are still relevant today. His writing is often witty and ironic, and his use of language is both powerful and poetic. remind us of the importance of cherishing the present moment and living life to the fullest.
Horace’s Epodes are considered some of the masterpieces of Latin literature and one of Horace’s most important contributions to poetry. The Epodes were composed in the first century BC and are believed to be some of Horace’s earliest surviving pieces.
The Epodes, also known as the “iambicke Saturnalians”, are a collection of poems in which Horace speaks of topics ranging from morality and the state of Rome to family and the natural world. They are written in the form of iambic pentameters, a poetic verse form popular in ancient Greece and Rome.
In total, Horace composes 17 Epodes, with each poem providing its own unique perspective on a given topic. Some of the most popular works include “Epode 2”, in which Horace proclaims his disdain for those who laze around and make excuses, and “Epode 9”, which is considered a beautiful ode to nature.
The Epodes were among the first poems to introduce themes such as moral dilemma and philosophical thought. Although they were mainly written in an informal style, the poems contain an air of satire and rebellion. This is especially clear in Horace’s “Epode 16” where he calls out the Roman Senate for its corruption and decadence.
Today, Horace’s Epodes remain one of the most influential works of Latin literature. These accessible poems have been studied and appreciated for centuries, providing a look into both Horace’s life and the changing values of ancient Rome.

My Grandfather, Raymond Rudolph Lacy, was born in Sidney, Iowa on August 1, 1877, the son of Theodore M. and Mary Angela Venable Lacy. He married Tempa Adeline Taylor, daughter of Francis Marion Taylor and Sarah Chapman Curtis Taylor, on Christmas Day, 1899. The Lacys raised ten children, eight of whom were boys. My father, the sixth child, was born in 1910.
Grandparents lived in Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas prior to moving to Eastern Colorado in a covered wagon in 1914. There they homesteaded near Springfield. Hard times. They relocated to the Wiley-McClave area where the family engaged in farming. Grandmother died in 1935. Most of the children were adults by this time. Granddad eventually moved into Lamar where he earned a livelihood as a carpenter and painter. He died in 1962.
I never knew my grandmother, as I was less than a year of age when she passed away. I recall seeing my grandfather perhaps twice.

One person was hospitalized Tuesday afternoon following a two-car crash on Post Road East in Westport.
Westport police, fire and EMS responded around 3:15 p.m. to the crash, which was across the street from Stop & Shop. It was initially thought one of the cars was on fire, but upon arrival, firefighters determined the smoke was from the air bag deployment.
The driver of the car with the deployed air bag was placed on a back board and transported to Norwalk Hospital with minor injuries. The other driver reported no injuries. Both cars were towed away on a flatbed truck, Assistant Fire Chief William Dingee reported.
The accident was cleared around 4:35 p.m.

Omaha City Council delays decision on outdoor shooting range
March 9th, 2016
Omaha City Council members put off a vote that could pave the way for an outdoor shooting range within the Cityâ€™s jurisdiction.
It was a fairly ho-hum agenda before Council members this week.
As expected, the Council voted unanimously to lay-over a vote to amend a special use permit for the cityâ€™s Police and Fire Training Facility located at Rainwood and Blair High Roads in a semi-rural area of northwest Omaha.
The Omaha Police Department wants Council members to lift the ban on the outdoor discharge of firearms at the facility. The ban was put in place by a previous Council in 2000.
If the ban is lifted, OPD said it will build a 24 lane, outdoor shooting range at the site. OPD maintains the range is necessary so officers can receive proper training. Neighbors expressed concerns over the level of noise that would come from the range, as well as safety concerns.
The proposed outdoor range is within a mile of Davis Middle School.
Councilwoman Aimee Melton, who proposed the one-week layover, said she met with some residents and city officials last week and discussed the plans to build the range. She said this range would be safer than most, because only trained law enforcement will use the range, not the public.
â€œI think also just looking at the elevation, where you have a hill on one side, baffling on the other and the fact thereâ€™s going to be a range master thatâ€™s going to be there at all times,â€ Melton said, â€œI think [those things] alleviated the safety issues [for residents].â€
Â Itâ€™s expected to cost around $2.5 million to build the range. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has already said it would pitch in $1.2 million towards the cost.
The Council should vote on the ordinance next week.
Also at Tuesdayâ€™s meeting, Council members voted to approve a preliminary plat of Lakeview Point, a proposed 40-acre subdivision located northwest of 168th and Fort Streets. Developers are proposing mixed use office/retail space, along with single family houses and townhomes.
Jaime Suarez, speaking on behalf of Lakeview Point, told Council members what sets this development apart from others, is the fact it will be built around a 220-acre lake.
â€œThe truly unique aspect of this development is the proposed pier that we [want] to build,â€ Suarez said, â€œThe unique experience will offer handicapped accessibility, the potential to offer different events such as farmers markets and tasting cook-offs, and to just host various community events.â€
Again, the Council was just voting on a preliminary plat, so donâ€™t plan any fishing trips to the Lakeview Point Pier just yet.
The final item of note from Tuesdayâ€™s meeting came from the consent agenda. Councilman Pete Festersen wanted to call attention to a resolution approving the design contract for phase II of the Florence Business District Renovation Project.
â€œAfter approval of this, weâ€™ll move to final design and then to construction bids this summer,â€ Festersen said.
He continued, â€œIf you havenâ€™t been to Florence recently, I encourage anyone to check it out. These improvements from Willit Street to State, State Street to Mormon–so right in the heart of the business district there–itâ€™s doing great. Itâ€™s got several new restaurants that are open. No More Empty Pots is expanding there, so weâ€™re very proud of the progress there and [passing the ordinance] will continue that effort.â€
The Florence Neighborhood is one of the oldest in Omaha. The renovation project is designed to improve area sidewalks, add more lighting, and make parking easier.

The NTSB held a public board meeting yesterday at which it determined that load and capacity calculation errors made by Figg Bridge Engineers, Inc are the probable cause of collapse of the Florida International University (FIU) pedestrian bridge in Miami.
Contributing to the collapse was Louis Berger’s inadequate peer review, which failed to detect Figg’s calculation errors in its design of the main span truss member 11/12 nodal region and connection to the bridge deck, it said. Further contributing to the collapse were the Figg engineer of record’s failure to identify the significance of structural cracking observed in this node before the collapse, and failure to obtain an independent peer review of the remedial plan to address the cracking.
Six people died and 10 others were injured when the partially constructed FIU pedestrian bridge failed catastrophically, sending the 53m-long bridge span onto the road below, crushing eight vehicles that were under the bridge. Six of the eight lanes of the road traveling under the bridge were open at the time of the collapse.
The failure of Figg, MCM, Bolton Perez and Associates Consulting Engineers, FIU and the Florida Department of Transportation to cease bridge work and close SW 8th Street to protect public safety contributed to the severity of the collapse outcome, said the NTSB during the meeting.
“Errors in bridge design, inadequate peer review and poor engineering judgment led to the collapse of this bridge,” said NTSB chairman Robert Sumwalt. “The failure of all concerned parties, to recognise and take action on the threat to public safety presented by the significant observed bridge structure distress prior to the collapse, led to the tragic loss of life in this preventable accident.”

Ok guys, we have been working on a 73 Pinto tube chassis car, ladder bar suspension, Strange coil overs w? 110# springs, Strange struts up front w/ 225# springs. 2400# with driver, 650hp 406sbc with a powerglide, 14x32 slicks. We have been battling this car to get it to launch and stay straight down the track. We finally got the launching part ironed out somewhat with a 1.29 60' tonight, but now the car skates around from 330'- the 1/8th mile, peddling it several time he ran a 6.36, then the next pass, he ran a 6.09 still having to feather it most of the way. Has anyone had any problems like this? Or any suggestions on where to start looking?
What pressure are you running in the rear tires do you have a video of the car going down so we can see how it is acting

While this hotel is located a little way from Inverness, it is located in the hills overlooking Loch Ness. From the outside it is a little dated, but once you get inside the rooms are big, clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food at the bar is good. Its location makes for quiet nights and it has incredible views of the Loch

It was lovely to sit around the open fire. Plenty of parking available. Quiet location but not far (minutes) from Dingwall town centre. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

First edition. Pages lightly toned.
xii, 265 pp. Author's first trade edition story collection (following limited editions of Sweethearts and Counting). With an uncanny ability to depict the lives of men and women who rarely register in our literature, Phillips writes stories that lay bare their suffering and joy. Here are the abused and the abandoned, the violent and the passive, the impoverished and the disenfranchised who populate the small towns and rural byways of the country. A patron of the arts reserves his fondest feeling for the one man who wants it least. A stripper, the daughter of a witch, escapes from poverty into another kind of violence. A young girl during the Depression is caught between the love of her crazy father and the no less powerful love of her sorrowful mother. These are great American stories that have earned a privileged place in our literature.

Supersaver Julia has changed lives, and she can change yours! – Bruce Whitfield
Every year in July (since 2013) The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield interviews supersaver Julia (and her personal finance advisor Warren Ingram).
Julia is wildly inspirational.
When she first came on the show, she drove an old Corsa Lite, despite earning a massive salary (at the time it was R1 million per year!) as a corporate consultant.
Year in and year out – through booms and busts - Julia invested a third of her income.
As her income has escalated, her expenses remained the same.
Tune in to The Money Show tonight (Thursday, 9 July) at around 7:15 pm to hear how she’s investing – or not – in a pandemic.
We need to be inspired to put away money, even in tough times like this.Bruce Whitfield, The Money Show

Spring-ing Back to Lincoln Land
Given that Abraham Lincoln might be the most popular president in U.S. history, one whose story is the stuff of legends, it would seem there isn’t a whole lot left to tell about Abe. And even less likely, that a practicing insurance litigator would be the one to tell it.
Yet, here’s Terrence L. Cranert, an attorney who grew up in Lincoln Country and studied composing musicals alongside his friend Howard Ashman at Lehman Engel’s BMI Musical Theater Workshop in New York, who has written the book, lyrics, and music for The Lincolns of Springfield, which has its professional world premiere at the Center Stage Theater October 12-23. Call (805) 963-0408 or visit centerstagetheater.org.
Billed as the love story we never knew, the musical chronicles the story of Lincoln through his relationship with his beloved wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, from their first meeting through the Civil War and his assassination.
The relationship between Mary Lincoln and her closest friend and confidante, former slave, and dressmaker Elizabeth Keckley, played by Mary Millben, is pivotal to the story. As Mary’s dearest friend, Elizabeth is privy to Mary’s most intimate and private history and is thus the ideal storyteller for the show.
“It’s a great story of how a woman from the Southern aristocracy ended up with this guy from the backwoods of Illinois and how the two of them came together and ended up saving the country and freeing people,” explained Cranert, who previously composed the musicals Joan of Arc, Pinocchio in Tinsel Town, and When the Fat Lady Sings and was associate producer of the Broadway productions of A Night With Janis Joplin. Viewing Lincoln through the eyes of his wife and her closest friend provides a twist, the idea inspired by a historical novel Cranert read that said history makes more sense when you put the women back in.
Earlier productions of The Lincolns of Springfield have praised the songs as akin to Broadway faves Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Loewe, a reference Cranert enjoys as he intended to create a classic musical that would recall Broadway’s heyday.
“Everything today is either an adaptation or a jukebox musical. I wanted to make something original.”
The all-Equity cast features musical theater veterans, while director Corey Brunish is a four-time Tony winner whose productions include Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.
While he’s been working on The Lincolns ever since his time at BMI, Cranert believes it’s also a musical for our times.
“Right now is the closest to a big divide the country has faced since the Civil War,” he said. “But no matter what side of the political spectrum you’re on, everybody thinks highly of Lincoln. Hopefully it will be unifying and help bring people together and, as Lincoln said, bind up the nation’s wounds.”

Michael Jackson may be gone but he will never be forgotten. On the heels of his forthcoming posthumous album Xscape, the King of Pop dominated Singersroom's Top 10 Streaming R&B Songs of The Week after the label previewed several cuts to promote the May 13th release. As fans yearn to hear unreleased music and MJ’s unforgettable and hypnotic sound, Jackson swooped the top spot as well as third and fourth place.
Fueled by an appearance from the currently incarcerated Chris Brown, Grammy-nominated sibling and songwriting duo Blaq Tuxedo surged to the runner-up spot with their new offering “Waterbed ," an endearing-yet-sexy groove about making the slushy mattress the location of choice for a lovemaking session. The lift is hugely associated with Brown’s Team Breezy fans and their healthy appetite for the star’s music.
After two consecutive weeks at the top spot, R&B Divas: Atlanta star Keke Wyatt rounds out the top 5 with her steamy bedroom ballad “Fall In Love,” while last week’s runner-up Tink drops to no. 7 with her Jeremih-assisted cut “Don’t Tell Nobody.”
Click below to see where Usher, Mike Jay, Joelle James, K. Michelle, and more landed on Singersroom's Top 10 Streaming R&B Songs of The Week.
Michael Jackson – Chicago
The song, which is about unknowingly falling for a taken woman, was one of many scrapped from the recording process of the King of Pop's 2001 album Invisible. According to the album’s liner notes, Jackson loved the demo sent to him by songwriter Cory Rooney, and he recorded the tune at The Hit Factory in New York City in 1999. However, this version features production from Timbaland, which effectively fits the Michael Jackson sound if he were to be working with the hit producer in 2014. We think MJ would approve!
Blaq Tuxedo – Waterbed Ft. Chris Brown
Grammy-nominated sibling and songwriting duo Blaq Tuxedo (previously known as D&D, a.k.a. Darius and Dominique Logan) have written for many artists including Ciara, TGT, and Chris Brown, and now they hook up with the latter for their latest offering “Waterbed," an endearing-yet-sexy groove about making the slushy mattress the location of choice for a lovemaking session.
Michael Jackson – Loving You
“Loving You” is another record from Michael Jackson’s forthcoming posthumous album Xscape, due out May 13th via Epic Records. Written by the King of Pop during the "Bad" sessions in 1987, the tune gets a modern refix by Timbaland and Jerome Harmon.
Michael Jackson – Love Never Felt So Good Ft. Justin Timberlake
"Love Never Felt So Good" is the lead single from the late Michael Jackson’s upcoming posthumous LP Xscape, due May 13. Originally written by the King of Pop and Paul Anka in 1983, super-producer Timbaland adds some modern day flare to the disco-inspired tune all while still giving it that MJ feel. Justin Timberlake hops on this alternate version for a spicy duet.
Keke Wyatt – Fall In Love
Keke Wyatt's new powerhouse single is titled “Fall In Love,” a slow burner aimed to do get the mood hot and heavy.
Usher – Good Kisser
Grammy winner Usher delivers his brand new single “Good Kisser,” the first offering from his forthcoming eighth studio album. On the funky and seductive tune, Usher goes back to his R&B roots, delivering clever lyrics and fun melodies over the catchy production.
Tink – Dont Tell Nobody ft. Jeremih
With Timbaland on board, you’ll probably be hearing much more from the Chicago artist, and it begins here, with fellow Chicagoan Jeremih on “Don’t Tell Nobody.” The cut has Tink reprimanding her cheating dude (played by Jeremih), and he doesn’t deny the claims, all he asks is that she doesn’t spill the beans.
Mike Jay – Birthday Suit
He offered a snippet of this song on his debut project The Mike Jay EP, and now here's the full version of "Birthday Suit," the Mint Condition-borrowed track suited to ode their hit “Pretty Brown Eyes.” Here, he takes the classic horn splashes and modifies them all the while keeping the same aesthetic, as he pleads his lady to bare all.
Joelle James – Sweet Lemonade
You always need a little vanilla in your coffee and Joelle James is here to give us some of that goodness. However, as the weather changes, we are really in the mood for a nice cup of "Sweet Lemonade".
K. Michelle & Keyshia Cole – Loyal (Deez N*ggaz Remix)
Keyshia Cole vented her frustrations over Chris Brown's track "Loyal," and now K. Michelle adds her vocals and two cents to the situation. “Why you got an attitude? / Girl that’s everybody’s dude,” she answers to Cole’s gripe that "these n*ggaz ain’t loyal."

Chadwick Boseman talks ‘Black Panther’ and it’s Importance
Published on July 13th, 2017 | Updated on July 13th, 2017 | By FanFest
‘No more discourse. No more deliberation. No more excuses. No more mercy. We know what this is. It is war, and war is our nation’s trade. It has been so for generations. We are Wakanda. We will not be terrorized. We are terror itself.’
After T’Challa watched his father die, just feet from him, a war started within his heart. Not long after, a war broke out between friends and Black Panther found himself in the middle of it. He was hell bent on revenge as he stood as a cold and unforgiving man, but by the end of the film, he was able to see things differently. In a light that showed truth even when he didn’t first want to give the benefit of the doubt.
It showed a softness to T’Challa and also another facet of strength, thinking someone was responsible for killing his father to realizing that he wasn’t and then offering to keep him safe – it takes someone who believes in fairness and doing what’s right – someone who is not driven by pride.
Black Panther realized that in his father’s death, a new responsibility was thrust upon him, and it’s one he treats with the utmost importance. He also realizes that what Wakanda has built is sacred, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep it safe, even if that means waging war against those he never wished to fight.
Chadwick Boseman spoke to EW on the set of Black Panther and had this to say about the move T’Chaka made in Civil War that eventually led to the loss of his life.
‘That hasn’t traditionally been their attitude towards the rest of the world. T’Chaka wanted to step out of those boundaries. It’s a like a new leader taking power and trying to figure out if he should do it the older traditional way. You would think the younger man would want to do something different than the father, but the father – for a reason that I don’t want to say – was thinking ahead and beyond those boundaries.’
So does that mean that in Wakanda they hold themselves higher than those around them? That’s not the case at all, it’s just that everything they’ve built has taken hard work and dedication – plus they’re advanced in wealth and technology much beyond anyone else in the world. They’re a nation torn on what to do next, and that feeds into another aspect of the film.
Kevin Feige had this to say about it.
‘Part of the story is about the isolationist state of Wakanda coming to terms with the modern day. There are other people in the story who say, ‘No, we shouldn’t do that.’ You get into conversations about refugees. You get into conversations about, ‘Should we help the people on the other side of that border, because they need help and we could help them …. but it would potentially endanger us.‘
Boseman gave more of an interview with EW which you can read it its entirety here. These were some of the leading questions to a big part of the plot that we enjoyed the answers to most.
The last time we saw T’Challa, he was giving sanctuary to a fugitive Captain America. What is Black Panther’s mindset at the start of this film?
It’s shortly after Civil War has ended so he’s still in mourning. There’s a guilt in terms of taking the throne. There’s a feeling that he wishes that his father would have been alive to see it, if he would have given up the thrown for being too old. That’s the ideal way. His mindset is one of guilt and unsureness because he doesn’t have [his father] there.
What are the major challenges? What’s the biggest crisis weighing on him?
Generally, there is unrest because there’s no leader on the throne. We’re dealing with a similar thing right now in this country. Just because a person was elected doesn’t mean everybody agrees with the things he’s going to do. Having to make the first decisions … what do you do first? What do you choose to do that’s going to get everybody on your side? It’s a political drama essentially.
So it’s a divided nation. But I’m guessing he’s not Donald Trump, though.
[Laughs] Yeah, he’s not Donald Trump! It’s funny watching the campaign because we were working on this before the campaign started, in terms of the prep. Watching how that ended, watching Obama leave office, and watching Trump take over … There are definite parallels there that you pull from.
Is Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) T’Challa’s primary rival, the other side of this divided nation, seeking to take his throne?
I can’t really say. Klaue is the real villain. I can say that I identify with Killmonger’s character. It’s going to be a fun character. He definitely has a different point of view. They are polar opposites. A superhero movie is only as great as its villains. I think they both provide a piece of that.
What specific danger does Klaue pose to Black Panther’s people?
You have Wakanda, which is an isolationist society, Klaue has entered that space and knows more about it than anybody else. Because of that, he is a threat. Not to mention that he’s accessed this gift that could also be a curse to the rest of the world.
You’re talking about Vibranium, and his plans to weaponize it.
A lot of times when we talk about Vibranium we talk about it as if it’s, like, nuclear. It’s not a nuclear weapon but with the flexibility and versatility of it, it can do a lot of things. The fact that he has accessed that and has the mind to use it for evil is the key thing. Most people don’t know what it is and what can be done with it.
Hearing about the plot from Boseman’s perspective makes us more excited for the film than we were before. More information about Black Panther is expected in the coming weeks and we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

I'm trying to start 2011 out right by being more consistent in my blogging. I had good intentions in 2010, but things just got really busy. I know I'm a few days late in my first post of the new year, but I was busy soaking up the last of the holiday festivities and awesome So. Cal weather; then work was really busy after the long weekend, I had some training to do, and those clothes and dishes weren't going to wash themselves... so you see how it goes.
If someone told me a year ago that my 2010 would play out the way it did, I would probably not have believed it.
The winter made for tons of awesome training with great friends. From getting my butt kicked by Lesley, Tammy and the Slow Step boys to rides full of gossip with Jen, I logged a ton of miles on the bike.
Spring is when the race season began and it was a fun one! First up was the Desert International. All I can say is it was FREEZING. Tough way to try to get back my racing legs.
Next up was Wildflower. I was stoked to be back racing this course and it did not let me down. Of course the best part was hanging with the TCSD crew and eating S'mores (I swear I was carbo-loading!)
After that I was fortunate to find some great friends who wanted to go out to Hawaii for some racing and a lot of vacation fun! Although I had a great race on the Big Island, I'm yearning for another crack at the course.
In summer I took some time away from racing to get back in some base training. This down time coincided with being re-introduced to a special someone. Beginning a new relationship, increasing the training volume and continuing long hours of working provided challenging, but well worth it.
Summer also came with time to see lots of friends both old and new. A highlight was a girls weekend with my closest friends from college. It had been quite sometime since we were all together last, but somehow it seemed like no time had passed.
As summer turned to fall, my prep for 70.3 Worlds heated up. I was fortunate to race the San Diego Triathlon Classic, which only got better in its second year. Despite taking a serious fall on the run, my race went well. Better yet was hanging out with tons of friends and racing in "my own backyard."
In November I had the opportunity to race the 70.3 World Champs in Clearwater. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this race, but I had a blast. I'm sad that it's leaving Clearwater for 2011 as I would have definitely gone back! Highlights of the weekend included hanging with my coach and good friend, Lesley in our amazing hotel room (we got the upgrade of the century!), my parents coming out to see me race, and finally having the swim I had been working so hard for all season. As a bonus, I came home to find that I had been voted in as a partner at work while I was away in Florida!
The triathlon season ended just in time for the holidays (that is actually a bad thing as I find myself now a little pudgy around the middle). I've truly enjoyed having more time to spend with my boy and my family.
I really have no idea what is in store for me in 2011, but I have a hunch it will be a good year. I haven't made any true New Year's Resolutions, but there are somethings I will be focusing on for sure. For now if I can just keep up the blogging...
Starting out 2011 right. Riding and coffee on a gorgeous day! What's better?

WOO HOO! at 12:01AM Saturday morning Summer of Socks officially starts! This year will be my first time ever participating in this type of KAL and I am looking forward to the challenges it offers 🙂 There are a couple of threads in the SOS 08 group asking what your goals are for this summer so I thought I would share mine here…
1) There are 10 weeks this year for SOS so as a amount knitted for me I would like to complete atleast 5 pair. As well as 2 pair of Soldier Socks and a few beanies if possible. I know that I am a slow knitter but I am getting somewhat faster so this goal maybe totally doable.
2) I would like to be able to succeed in doin 2 socks at a time either with 2 circs or magic looping or both. I have tried this before and the yarn got hopelessly tangled to the point that I had to remove the socks from the needles and rewind them back into a ball. Kim from SFS likes for us to do 2 at a time either concurrently or together so that the socks are done pretty much at the same time and are as close to identical as possible.
3) I have enough yarn to knit 25+ pairs of socks and even more patterns that I would like to do. I would like to use up some of my sock yarn so that I can purchase more sock yarn without taking up most of my corner of the living room. We currently live in the LR, Kitchen and Bathroom because the upstairs rooms are habitable yet, not to mention the fact that my family doesnt want me climbing up and down the stairs esp at nite to use the rooms they way I would like. The downstairs bedroom is bein used for storage for the time bein, and as soon as we get the upstairs fixed a bit the stuff will be moved up there and it will become a bedroom once again! Then I will have a closet to keep part of my stash in and will be better able to utilize my little corner of the world 🙂
4) Part of the reason I’ve joined SOS as well as several other sock knitting groups…Socks are easy and portable, you can make one pair per pattern and skein of yarn and never have to make the same pair again if you dont want to. And last but not least…I want to be able to give completed Christmas gifts this year not skeins of yarn patterns, and promises and this seems like the best way to accomplish this goal. I have a couple of other projects that I will have to start concurrently with this one and the other KALs I am a part of including a small bit of lace knitting I want to do for my 17yr old neice who will be graduating this yr.
Thats all for now, I will be including more pics and keep all of you updated as to where I am on my goals. I hope to be able to get everything done that I have set out to do in the next 10 weeks. Wish me luck!!


IPv6, or Internet Protocol version 6, is the most recent iteration of the protocol which allows computers on the internet to communicate with each other.
IPv6 looks set to take over from IPv4, which has been the online standard for decades. And with good reason, because IPv6 was introduced when IPv4 address exhaustion started to kick in. If we don’t migrate to the new protocol, the whole internet could seize up.
However, IPv6 hasn’t become mainstream just yet. According to Google, around 20% of users rely on IPv6. And the answer to where is IPv6 being used currently isn’t promising. Only 49 countries have a take-up rate of over 5%. So there’s work to do.
This quick guide to what is IPv6 will look at the future of web connectivity in a bit more detail.
How IPv6 works?
IPv6 works by assigning a unique 128-bit IP address to every computer or digital device that is connected to the internet.
If you’re wondering why IPv6 is better than IPv4, the main answer is that IPv6 allows for vastly more unique addresses. But it is also better adapted to peer-to-peer connectivity and streaming, and comes with IPSec encryption as standard. In theory, it should make packet processing, routing and network configuration simpler as well.
We don’t exactly know the answer to when will IPv6 be standard across the world, but within 10 years is a reasonable guess.
IPv6 address range
Compared to IPv4, the types of IPv6 address are vast. The answer to how many IPv6 addresses is actually 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 – a number that means nothing to most people.
The range is so vast thanks to the IPv6 address length, which includes 128 bits (not 32 bits with IPv4), spread across 32 separate digits. So, IPv6 address examples might include something like 2001:0dc8:75a3:0000:0000:6a2e:0470:7534 – much longer than with IPv4.
The first half of an IPv6 address is the “network address”, and the second half is a “unique host ID”. So, how are IPv6 addresses assigned? Well, not unlike IPv4, they are granted to Regional Internet Registries in blocks, who send them down to ISPs and private networks. At the top of the pyramid, the IANA maintains a central register of all IPv6 addresses.
And don’t worry. The IPv6 private address range is so vast that exhaustion won’t be an issue.
Common IPv6 problems include no network access, connections dropping at regular intervals, migration issues for larger organizations, lack of compatibility with VPNs, and potential security issues as well. So let’s run through some IPv6 issues to give you a heads up about what you might encounter.
IPv6 no network access
When you adopt IPv6, there’s a chance of encountering IPv6 no network access errors. If you are unlucky enough to receive an IPv6no internet access notification, the solution could be as simple as downloading updated ethernet drivers. So try that first.
When playing online games or streaming movies with your IPv6 connectivity no internet access can be a crippling issue. If driver updates don’t work, try the “troubleshooter” in Windows Internet Connections module. You might also try using the start menu to run ncpa.cpl where you can disable and then re-enable your network adapter. That sometimes does the trick.
IPv6 security issues
In theory, there should be fewer IPv6 security issues than with IPv4 because it incorporates IPSec routinely. This means that all traffic sent using IPv6 is encrypted.
However, there may be security issues relating to the migration to IPv6. For instance, some security issues with IPv6 relate to improperly configured firewalls, which don’t cater for the new standard. And not all VPNs work with IPv6, as we’ll see.
Then there are possible problems relating to dual stacking, when both IPv4 and IPv6 are in operation. In those cases, both protocols need to be secured, but not all users are aware of this.
IPv6 DNS issues
Users have also flagged up some important IPv6 DNS issues, which isn’t surprising, as adopting the new standard requires a totally new way of Domain Name System processing.
In most cases, this is simply an issue with users not updating to the latest version of BIND, which caters for IPv6 domain names. And in almost all instances, you can detect any DNS problems via a publicly accessible IPv6 DNS test.
IPv6 migration issues
Sometimes, users encounter IPv6 migration issues, when switching to the latest IP standard. This is particularly common in business settings, where network managers struggle to sell the cost of migration to senior executives.
Complex organizations also need to pay attention to IPv6 address allocation for all of their users and devices, and seamlessly transfer from IPv4 communications. They need to think about security issues, whether to use proxies or dual stack systems, and to train staff in migration from IPv4 to IPv6.
Individuals don’t tend to have so many problems, although as we’ll see VPNs can pose some difficulties.
VPN not supporting IPv6
If you try to use a VPN with IPv6, you may well find your VPN not supporting IPv6. In this case, you simply won’t receive any protection and your IP address will be totally unchanged.
If you are committed to making the switch to the latest standard, find out before you buy whether there’s a problem with IPv6 not hidden by VPN services that you want to try.
And if you have any doubts about whether yout IPv6 address is protected from leakage, be sure to use IP checking tools regularly.
IPv6 can cause issues when using many VPNs, which can only handle IPv4 addresses. For instance, ExpressVPN haven’t upgraded to IPv6 as yet, and recommend that users disable IPv6 whenever they run the ExpressVPN client.They aren’t alone. The following leading VPNs also recommend turning off IPv6 when you use their services:
You can disable IPv6 fairly easily by changing the Windows 10 Network Adapter settings. A quick run through can be found here.
However, some leading VPNs like CyberGhost have made the step up to IPv6. So if you want to use IPv6 and a VPN, it’s far from impossible.

Twitter users can now view the prices of Cardano (ADA), Tether (USDT), Dai (DAI) and etc.
Twitter, a social media platform established in 2006, has added several new tokens to its crypto price index feature.
Elon Musk’s social media platform launched the feature at the end of 2022. By using this feature, users can view cryptocurrency, major stock and exchange-traded fund (ETF) prices without leaving the platform.
Did you know?
Want to get smarter & wealthier with crypto?
Subscribe – We publish new crypto explainer videos every week!
Customers can view the data by typing stock, crypto or ETF symbols with a dollar sign ($) in front.
Initially, the feature displayed only Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) price charts. However, the Twitter Business account shared a tweet revealing that the company is looking to expand its “coverage of symbols.”
At the time of writing, customers can view price charts of over 30 cryptocurrencies, including Cardano (ADA), Tether (USDT), Binance USD (BUSD), Dogecoin (DOGE), Polygon (MATIC), Dai (DAI), Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), Shiba Inu (SHIB), etc.
However, Twitter is yet to add support to popular cryptocurrencies, like USD Coin (USDC), Polkadot (DOT), Binance Coin (BNB), Lido Staked Ether (stETH) and Tron (TRX).
It is worth noting that Twitter users can also view the prices of Ethereum Classic (ETC), Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
Upon the launch, Tech blogger Jane Mastodon Wong used Twitter to note that the graphs displayed on Twitter are sourced from the trading analysis platform TradingView.
It is worth noting that all of the crypto price graphs include a link to the trading platform Robinhood. After clicking on the link, users are directed to Robinhood’s crypto price charts containing an interactive button called “Sign Up to Buy.”
This suggests that Twitter may have signed a business partnership with the firm. However, no official information about the collaboration has been revealed.

Numerical Simulation of Heteorogeneous Pyrotechnic Compounds Combustion Processes

Knowledge of a yield of useful active aerosol particles in the products of pyrotechnic compounds combustion is needed for assessing the ice-forming efficiency of pyrotechnic
flares developed for super cooled cloud modification activities aimed at precipitation monitoring or hail protection (Zimin, 1992). As far as the majority of cloud modification
agents decompose to one or another degree during combustion of pyrotechnic compounds, the efficiency of the aerosol formed to a certain extent depends on the regimes of pyrotechnic
mixture combustion and agent evaporation. A theoretical estimate of active ice-forming particles yield is usually made on the basis of thermodynamic calculations of combustion of
a pyrotechnic mixture with a preset composition (Cruise, 1991). In this case it is assumed that during combustion the phase and chemical equilibrium states are conserved.
It is also assumed that a pyrotechnic mixture is homogeneous in structure and combustion proceeds in flat-parallel layers, that does not occur in real conditions.
Because of the nonhomogeneous structure of the substance the process of fragmented burning of separate granules of the mixture takes place.
Combustion fragmentation may be caused by granularity of the mixture or its components, local disturbances from the composition, the presence of defects or zones with
increased mechanical stress in the pyrotechnic compound. Because of these reasons a heterogeneous temperature field – maximum in the zone of intense burning of the granules
of the burning substance and a sharp decrease of temperature at a distance from them – is formed. A wide range of active substance evaporation at the destructive combustion
is realized depending on the existing actual temperature field and the geometry of the combustion front. The destructive combustion regime of pyrotechnic compounds in the
heterogeneous temperature field is likely to determine the dispersion properties and chemical composition of the aerosol formed. An extremal example of the pyrotechnic
compounds fragmentation combustion may be a blow-out of unburned particles of the active substance outside the combustion zone.
The data of experimental measurements of yields of aerosol particles generated by pyrotechnic substances with different dispersion properties performed at the SI RPA
“Typhoon” are shown in Figure 1. The same Figure gives the measurement results for the number of active
crystallization nuclei obtained at combustion of the ice-forming pyrotechnic compound AD-1 used in Russia in anti-hail activities. The components of this compound were
grounded in a ball mill. Depending on the time of grinding different dispersion properties of the pyrotechnic mixture was obtained – with increasing time of grinding the
sizes of pyrotechnic compound particles become smaller. The composition obtained is pressed into tablets and then burned in a closed aerosol chamber. The samples of aerosol
particles are taken and placed into the climatic chamber with supercooled fog at a temperature of – 10°C. Ice-forming activity of the compound was determined by counting the
number of crystals formed. As is seen from Figure 1, the activity of one and the same compound depends on the degree of grinding of the pyrotechnic mixture. There exists a
certain degree at which the activity of the compound is the highest.
A theoretical estimate of ice-forming particles for the given AD-1 composition made on the basis of thermodynamic calculations gives the value of 1.26·1013
of active AgI particles in combustion products of 1 g of pyrotechnic mixture. It is assumed that burning of AD-1 takes place in an equilibrium regime at a temperature of 14960K.
As is seen from Figure 1, the number of active particles measured is considerably less than the theoretical value. A high degree of grinding the pyrotechnic mixture components
is not optimal for obtaining the maximum activity of the aerosol formed. The results presented do not make it possible to interpret unambiguously depending on particle sizes of
the pyrotechnic mixture as the
grinding of different components of the mixture in the ball mill depends on mechanical properties of separate components. But the experimental data show that the heterogeneous
structure of distribution of separate components in the pyrotechnic compound influences significantly the yield of active particles generated. This effect should be considered
at choosing the combustion regime of pyrotechnic compounds.
At present, the theory of combustion of pyrotechnic compounds generation aerosol with preset characteristics is at the stage of formation. In the present paper, the combustion
processes of pyrotechnic compounds containing an active substance for aerosol particles generation were numerically simulated. The goal of the simulation is the investigation
of a dependence of active aerosol particle yield on the thermodynamic characteristics of the pyrotechnic compound components and on their disperse composition.
When constructing the 3-D numerical model it is assumed that the pyrotechnic compound consists of two components – a burning substance realizing the process of combustion and
an active substance evaporating in the temperature field formed within the substance. These substances are in the form of spherical granules of different diameters. The
distribution of the granules is taken to be normal with preset modal diameters and dispersion of distributions. The granules of both types are located in the cylindrical
part of the space randomly at the condition of minimizing a free space among the granules. Modeling of granules allocation in the cylinder is made with the help of a genetic
algorithm (Lakhmi, 1998). The space among the granules is filled with a binder, the heat of combustion of which is neglected as compared to the heat of combustion of a burning
substance. Purposeful numerical simulations are made for a pyrotechnic compound in which the ballistite is used as a burning agent. AgI is an active substance. The physical,
chemical and thermodynamic characteristics of these substances are known.
Modeling of the processes of combustion, heat transfer in the medium and evaporation of the components of the compound is made on the basis of a numerical solution of the
equation of changing heat within the pyrotechnic compound space:
t – actual time;
T – temperature of the medium at the point with coordinates x,y,z;
Q1(x,y,z,t,T) – amount of heat released in the region of burning substance combustion;
Q2(x,y,z,t,T) – amount of heat absorbed in the region of burning substance evaporation;
α i – heat conductivity coefficient of the medium in corresponding regions.
The ignition of the burning substance is simulated by a contact of a granule with the hot surface. A heat outflow induced by the chemical combustion reaction from the surface
of the granule takes place with the intensity calculated with the use of the heat conductivity equation for non-stationary exothermic reaction. Combustion of burning granules is
calculated under the assumption that at the temperatures of the granule surface lower than the critical Tc heat absorption occurs, and when the temperature of the granule becomes
higher than this, the process of combustion takes place with heat emission at a constant mass velocity.
To calculate the sublimation of the active substance in a heterogeneous temperature field the calculated dependence of the degree of destruction of the active substance on
temperature was used. It was found with the use of programs for the calculations of the thermodynamic equilibrium. The calculations were made for the pyrotechnic compound AD-1
containing 8% of active AgI. Changes of the temperature of the compound combustion were modeled by the addition of the Mg-MgO substance (up to 20% in mass). As the calculations
have shown, the composition of combustion products changed insignificantly, and the combustion temperature changed by more than 5000K. The calculation results for the yield of
non-destructed AgI are shown in Figure 2. The dashed line shows the calculation data approximated by the polynomial of degree:
Formula 2 was used in numerical simulation at calculations of AgI sublimation from the surface of the granule of the pyrotechnic compound active substance. It is assumed that
after sublimation the
vapor phase of AgI leaves the combustion zone and does not destruct under high temperatures.
For numerical solution of the boundary-value problem (1) with corresponding initial and boundary conditions a non-uniform three-dimensional grid of space decomposition is
applied. At calculations in the regions inside the granules a 1/10 of a granule diameter step was used. In the range between the granules the step equal to 1/10 of minimal
diameter of the granules of the pyrotechnic compound was used. At transition from one integration range to another the decomposition step changes and the recalculation of the
nodal values is made by the linear interpolation method.
The results of numerical simulation of a yield of non-destructed AgI in the vapor phase at the combustion of pyrotechnic compounds with different dispersion properties are
given in the Table. The calculations are carried out for pyrotechnic compounds containing 8% of the active substance (AgI) at granules different sizes of the burning and active
substances. As is seen from the Table, a non-monotonous dependence of non-destructed AgI is observed at varying initial sizes of pyrotechnic compound particles. When determining
the grinding degree of the pyrotechnic compound components, maximum yield of AgI into the vapor phase without destruction is observed. The same character of changing active
particles yield is also observed in the experimental data on the activity of ice-forming aerosol in the AD-1 pyrotechnic compound presented above.
Table. Results of modeling AgI transition into the vapor phase at different diameters of burning and active substances.
Thus, the results of numerical simulation show that the processes of fragmentary combustion of pyrotechnic compounds can significantly affect the efficiency of pyrotechnic
generators operation. This effect must be taken into consideration at the development of such generators.

Linda & Daniel had their wedding in the heart of New York City. With a beautiful traditional Christian ceremony in a traditional Church of the Heavenly Rest on the upper west side and their reception in Soho at the The Dominick Hotel; no amount of fog or rain could dampen anyone's spirits! It ended up being a gorgeous view and perfect lighting for their portraits- and really highlighted parts of New York City throughout the day. We wandered around the West Village and got some amazing street shots in New York City. We had to add a few umbrellas to the shots- but it was actually a really awesome touch! I love being a New York City wedding photographer !
From Linda's (The Bride) perspective:
"Neither Daniel nor I grew up in New York but had both moved here for work. During our time in New York, we both fell head over heels in love with the city. Especially after we got engaged in the Hamptons, we knew we wanted to have our wedding in New York City, to commemorate and celebrate our time here. From the second we saw the stunning panoramic views of the downtown Manhattan skyline from the top floor of Trump Soho, every other venue paled in comparison. As most of our guests would be coming from out of town, we thought this was the perfect way to showcase for them the city. We chose the Church of the Heavenly Rest for our ceremony because we were enraptured with the majesty and beauty of its architecture, and it most definitely fulfilled the dreams I’d had since I was a little girl of a fairy tale wedding.
For the decorations and floral designs, we wanted to keep everything clean, classic, and elegant. Especially with the stunning architecture of our church and the unique downtown views of Trump Soho, we didn’t want to have too much and detract from their intrinsic appeal.
From my walk down the aisle, to being introduced to all our family and friends as husband and wife for the first time, to dancing the night away with the Manhattan skyline lit up behind us, every detail and every single person we had the opportunity to work with was so perfect and far exceeded anything we had ever imagined."

Apache Junction, AZ –-(Ammoland.com)- In 1888 the British decided that the 577/450 was obsolete and adopted a smaller caliber rifle called the 303 British Rifle.
It was approved in December of 1888 and put into service in February of 1889. The cartridge for the 303 was a derivative of the rimmed Schmidt Rubin cartridge that was a few years older. The Brits went about loading the round in a strange way by using a compressed charge of black powder instead of smokeless which was known at the time though but still quite new.
Like many other countries, they adopted a round nose bullet, theirs weighing 215 grains. The velocity of the black powder load was 1860 producing some 1600 FT-LBS of energy. In 1892 they changed the powder to cordite still using the 215 grain bullet. That raised the velocity up to about 2050 with the corresponding energy of 2010 FT-LBS.
In 1910 they went to a pointed bullet weighing 174 grains which produced 2440 FPS giving 2310 FT-LBS of energy. Later on, in keeping up with modern developments in ammunition, they went to nitrocellulose powder. That was the load they used until it was discontinued in 1957 being replaced by the 7.62 X 51 NATO cartridge.
The 303 round and the rifles were very successful and were widely distributed throughout the British Empire. They were widely used in Africa, India, Canada, and Australia and to this day are still used for hunting large game. It was the official British cartridge used in WW l and WWll.
The early bullets had a bad reputation for not stopping fanatic natives as they were non-expanding. An example is in the late 1890’s the British military took the 303s to the Punjab Providence against the Pushtun fighters. Unfortunately, they found that the 303 rounds would not stop the Pushtuns unless shot several times. They brought back the 577/450 on a temporary basis which resolved their dilemma, until a Capt Bertie Clay designed an open point bullet which would expand upon impact.
They were known as Dum Dums because of the name of the arsenal that they were made at. Later on the bullets for the MARK VII had aluminum or fiber cores which made them longer then normal and they would tumble on impact causing more serious wounds. There were just many types and variations of the 303 that were used by the military. They included blanks and grenade launcher rounds.
The rifle was designed by an American, James Paris Lee. Since the US did not buy Lee’s design he took it to Great Britain and the first rifles were known as Mark 1’s. The deeper Enfield type of rifling replaced the shallow Medford type in 1895. Throughout the years there were other similar changes made to all of the MARK models.
There are some authorities who feel that it was the best military rifle of that period because of ease of follow up shots and the 10 round magazine. The 303 British was also rugged and reliable which did not hurt its reputation. It cocks on closing, a feature that I don’t care for but that is my personal opinion. In theory that will help extract an empty casing from the chamber.
There were other rifles and machine guns chambered for the 303 round. Some Martini-Henrys were chambered and can be found for sale occasionally. The Lee Enfield pattern 14 was chambered and used in the world wars to supplement the Lee Medford rifles. Some Ross repeating rifles also chambered for this round. Various semi-auto rifles and machine guns were also employed this round. There is no sporting rifle chambered for the 303 in the US but at one time the Winchester model 95 was so chambered.
Happily, if you want to shoot this gun today, there is some ammo available and components for reloading are no problem. Several companies make brass and bullets. For best results, bullets should be .311 or .312 in diameter. The same bullets that are used in the 7.65 X 53 Mauser and the 7.7 Jap can be used in the 303. The case is easy to load and is flexible. Cast bullets can also be used with good results. I have found that the 303 is a very accurate rifle with good loads. For light loads a 32 pistol bullet will work but they would not be suitable for the full powder stuff.
LOAD BULLET VELOCITY COMMENT
- 46 X AA 2460 125 grain Speer 2854 nice
- 46 X AA 2460 125 grain Sierra 2987 accurate
- 10 X Unique 125 grain Sierra 1438 small game
- 45 X AA 2460 140 grain milt 2728 ok
- 33 X 209 165 grain gas check .312 1869 consistent.
- 44 X 4320 150 grain Speer 2565 very accurate
- 44 X AA 2460 150 grain Sierra 2671 deer load
- Military FNB-80 175 grain 2353 consistent
- Military RAL-64 175 grain 2316 good load
- 48.5 X H 414 180 grain Rem 2441 consistent
- 44 X AA 2520 180 grain Rem 2502 bear
In power, it is similar to the 7.7 Jap and the 7.65 X 53 Mauser. Some people compare it to the 30-40 Krag but it outperforms the 30-40 because it can operate at higher pressures in the military guns chambered for their respective rounds. Some of the later 303’s were rechambered to the 308 round which can operate at about 62,000 PSI which would speak to the strength of the British rifle.
If you are looking for an interesting military rifle that has seen duty in all most every world conflict, the 303 British MK ll Rifle is as good a place to start.
