Good afternoon and welcome to another day in the challenging and competitive online media landscape! Today we're looking at the salacious and not entirely unerotic online phenomenon of teenagers calling Jeremy Corbyn "Daddy" on social media. I'm writing about this mostly because my editor asked me to—no way would I pitch something that veers so perilously close to my own specific and highly niche late-night browsing history! I'm already on shaky ground with my extremely loose-knit Middle Eastern family after that piece I wrote about almost shitting myself, and the last thing I want is further public shame. But this is an important and necessary story to be told, so here we go.
For the benefit of our international readers: Jeremy Corbyn is the leader of the left-wing Labour party, which is currently fighting the upcoming British general election against the incumbent, right-wing Conservative government. Corbyn attracts admiration and scorn in (sadly) uneven measure. Although Corbyn is beloved of grime artists, young people, and people who believe in the actual redistribution of wealth it's all but guaranteed the Conservatives will win the upcoming election and with it, usher in another five years of heartless, cynical rule.
A long-time champion of socialist causes, Corbyn spent decades on the far-left of the Labour before his shock election as leader in 2015. (Here's a cute picture of him being arrested at an anti-apartheid protest in 1984—doesn't he look great?) Incidentally, Corbyn is also an actual daddy, having three sons—Thomas, Benjamin, and Seb—to whom I apologize in advance for what I'm about to write.

"I don't call anyone else 'daddy,' at least not for free," says 18-year-old nursery worker Emily* from Kent, who tweeted "save us daddy" at Corbyn in April. In all seriousness, Emily wants me to know this isn't a sexual thing—she just situates Corbyn within a historical lineage of great and occasionally genocidal 20th century communist daddies, like Lenin.
"The times where I referred to Corbyn as 'daddy' on social media were in retrospect reflective of the comparison between Corbyn and left-wing political icons such as Lenin and Marx," Emily explains. "These men were often referred to as the 'fathers' of communism and 'daddy' is simply the modern equivalent.'"
"I love him," enthuses 18-year-old Ethan Hogan. "I think he's one of the only few good men in politics, if I'm honest. I think he could really lead this country." What Hogan—a student from Merseyside—does not love however, is the short shrift Corbyn gets from the right-wing British tabloid press."Sick of seeing negative articles about my sugar daddy Jeremy Corbyn," he tweeted from his account @_Ethxn_ earlier this month.
"I added 'daddy' into the tweet because I thought it would add humor," he explains matter-of-factly. "I call loads of male celebrities 'daddy' all the time, like Harry Styles." Is Corbyn as sexually attractive as Harry Styles? "I don't think Jeremy Corbyn is as attractive now," he responds. "But a younger Jeremy Corbyn? Absolutely."
(By the way, the consensus amongst pretty much all the teenagers I spoke to for this piece was that they'd do the bang with a younger Corbyn, but an older Corbyn is, unfortunately, a bit old for them.)
Watch: When JME Met Jeremy
Exactly like eating the flesh of your enemy to imbibe their strength, calling Corbyn "daddy" on Twitter can impart some kind of spiritual advantage. "It's about channeling his power," confirms 18-year-old Harry from Cumbria, who tweeted "come on Daddy let's get you elected" this month. "Using the term 'daddy' gives him a dominant stance that, to me, makes him powerful." In addition to his mature understanding of the semiotics of power, Harry's political acumen is on point. "He won't get anywhere near the doors of Number 10," he acknowledges sadly.
Harry is correct. The latest polls show that Corbyn will not get the keys to government any time soon, a fact that all the teens I spoke to knew very well. "I think Corbyn's policies are by far the best, but I don't think he'll win," says 18-year-old Claddagh Róisín (@clxddxgh). The Belfast waitress was an early champion of Corbyn's paternal credentials, tweeting "Corbyn is daddy material" as far back December 2015.
"May knew what she was doing by calling an election when she did, and Labour has become too decimated as a result of constant infighting for them to catch up. I wish I could say otherwise," Róisín adds, "because I don't know if my community can survive another five years of Tory rule, given their malicious policies towards GRT [gypsy, Roma, and traveller] people and their blatant disregard for the constitutional issue that Brexit could potentially cause in Northern Ireland."
Sadly, while today's politically conscious teens might think Corbyn is the number one daddy, the British electorate will likely disagree with them come election day on June 8. Until then, we'll have to take what scant comfort we can.
"I get a thrill from his political ideas and I want him to be a strong leader," says Harry, "but the only way I can do that right now is by calling him 'daddy.' That gives him the authority the British electorate will not."
Labour did not return our request for comment.

I decided to try milk maid braids. Then I was running out of time and couldn't remember out to finish them at the top so I'm not even sure if I did them right. It was something different though, and nice and cool to have my hair up. Even though the weather hasn't been that warm I've certainly been enjoying putting my hair up as I just stay that much cooler. This hair close up is also great because it shows off some of the lovely quilt stitching on my still amazing leather jacket. Yay!
I had fun with the beau taking these photos in the park again. I miss the old swings that had the solid seat though instead of these flimsy ones that squeeze you! Worst invention ever! And so much harder to jump out of when you get the swing going.....
Its the beaus birthday today so I must get going....

"How to See Yourself As You Really Are" is based on a fundamental Buddhist notion that love and insight work together to bring about enlightenment, like two wings of a bird. It provides a new perspective on the psychological problems of hurting ourselves through misguided, exaggerated notions of self, others, events and physical things. It shows how even our senses deceive us, drawing us into unwise attachments and negative actions that can only come back to haunt us in the future. Drawing on wisdom and techniques refined in Tibetan monasteries for more than a thousand years, and adopting as its structure traditional Buddhist steps of meditative reflection, "How to See Yourself As You Really Are" includes practical exercises and gives readers a clear path to assess their growth and progress. The book is enlivened throughout with warm personal anecdotes and intimate accounts of the Dalai Lama's experiences as a life-long student, a meditator, a political leader and an international figure working with other Nobel Peace Laureates to address crises around the world.Biografía del autor:
His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was born in 1935 in northeastern Tibet and was recognised at the age of two as the reincarnation of his predecessor, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. The world's foremost Buddhist leader, he travels extensively, speaking eloquently in favour of ecumenical understanding, kindness and compassion, respect for the environment and, above all, world peace.

WHO IS IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE? (PART 4)
“But until a person can say deeply and honestly, ‘I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday’ that person cannot say, ‘I choose otherwise’.”
- STEPHEN COVEY.
You are who you are, what you are, and where you are today because of the daily decisions you made in the past. Tomorrow’s experiences will be the outcome of today’s choices.
Consequently, your choices are continually shaping the outcome of your everyday life.From our waking moments to our night rest we make innumerable decisions. But although we are bombarded with choices every moment of our lives, there still remain a few decisions of which we have no control but we can control our responses to them and determine the outcome.
We cannot choose our background or who our parents are, but we can choose what we become in our lives. We cannot choose our physical attributes, but we can choose and shape our personality.
We cannot choose our nationality or race, but we can choose our sphere of influence. We have never been able to choose our temperament or our talents, but we can choose to develop them into a masterpiece.
We cannot choose people’s opinion of us, but we can choose the opinion we have of ourselves. Neither can we choose people’s attitude towards us, but we can choose how we respond to them. We could not choose our upbringing, but we can certainly choose our upshot.
We are able to choose our actions, but we are not free to choose the consequences of those actions. And all in all, our choices determine our chances in life.
To take charge of your life intentionally choose the thoughts you think; the mental images you visualize; the words you verbalize; and the actions you materialize.
To achieve that you may need to change your choice of friends; what you read or feed your mind on; choose to engage in positive thinking and disengage from negative thinking; choose to change your habits – the secret to creating the life you want to lead is hidden in your daily agenda or what you daily); choose to change the way you talk – what you say and how you say it; choose to change what you fantasize or day dream about; choose to change your response to the events that you encounter daily.
Strive not to permit your response to be on autopilot or conditioned reflexes – intentionally choose your response in order to create the outcome you require.
Alcoholics Anonymous define insanity as “continuing the same behavior and expecting a different result”. Absurd isn’t it?
Therefore, to take control of your life, take charge of your daily choices – change your choices to create success chances for a change.
Consider the words of Jack Canfield,
“You are the one who ate the junk food.
You are the one who didn’t say no!
You are the one who took the job.
You are the one who stayed on the job.
You are the one who choose to believe them.
You are the one who ignored your intuition.
You are the one who abandoned your dream.
You are the one who bought it.
You are the one who didn’t take care of it.
You are the one who decided you had to do it alone.
You are the one who trusted him.
You are the one who said yes to the dogs.”
Within you lies the power to change your life and take charge of your destiny – the power of choice.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU

For the added tax revenue and local jobs, activist Al Baldwin would like to see more big-box stores built in Galt. On Aug. 20 — the same evening that the city of Sacramento voted to ease restraints on such construction, hoping to throw out the welcome mat to larger retail establishments — Baldwin asked Galt City Council members to take up the same effort.
But City Manager Jason Behrmann said it’s something the city has already been talking about, although it probably won’t go before the city council until next year.
“Economic development is a top priority for the city,” Behrmann said. “We are currently evaluating all of our ordinances, including the big-box ordinance, in order to remove barriers and streamline the development review and approval process as much as possible.”
Walmart officially broke ground at its store on Twin Cities Road on Thursday, after years-long delays and environmental studies related to traffic patterns and noise potential.
In 2006, the city required that Walmart’s application for a 132,340-square-feet store — with approximately 25,000 square feet dedicated to grocery and other non-taxable items — also include an application for a conditional use permit, which effectively gave the city more leeway in enforcing rules on the superstore under its ordinance. The proposed Walmart won final council approval in 2011.
“We appreciate the strong show of support from the community and elected officials at this week’s groundbreaking,” Walmart spokeswoman Delia Garcia said in an email. “We are excited to begin construction of the new Galt Walmart and provide customers the convenience of one-stop shopping for fresh, affordable groceries and general merchandise closer to where they live.”
Sacramento changes direction
Last month, following a contentious two-hour debate that pitted some of the region’s top business interests against influential labor leaders, the Sacramento City Council voted 6-2 to eliminate most of a 2006 ordinance that required superstore chains to conduct wage and benefit studies of nearby businesses before being permitted to build new facilities. The rules applied to projects larger than 90,000 square feet with more than 10 percent of the space dedicated to groceries.
Labor leaders, small-business representatives and neighborhood activists urged the council to keep the ordinance in place. Building trades group and business organizations led the push to ease the restrictions.
Under the new plan approved by the council, economic impact analyses will no longer be required in major developments where the city council has already approved large-scale retail projects.
City development officials contended that the old ordinance amounted to a ban of big-box stores. Five superstores operate within Sacramento city limits, but none meets the overall size and grocery thresholds of the law, officials said. In the meantime, there are 35 big-box stores open in nearby cities and counties, according to a database compiled by Sacramento officials.
Supporters of repealing the ban argued that the nearby competition has led to a bleeding of tax revenue to other jurisdictions.
Sacramento Councilman Steve Hansen says tax revenue that should be supporting city police, fire and park services is going to other jurisdictions.
“This policy causes harm to our city,” he said at the council meeting last month.
Walmart supports the shift.
“As a long-standing member of the Sacramento business community, we’re encouraged by the city’s vision and support for more economic development,” Garcia said. “We don’t have any new projects in Sacramento to announce, but we will continue to look for opportunities to better serve our customers closer to where they live and work throughout the state.”
Other cities’ ordinances
In 2007, the Stockton City Council banned any store greater than 100,000 square feet and containing a grocery element, but only after a Walmart Supercenter opened near Hammer Lane and Highway 99.
The same year, the Galt City Council unanimously approved its ordinance requiring Walmart to first apply for a conditional use permit.
In order to obtain that permit, Walmart was required to perform a series of additional neighborhood and area analyses and reports prior to being considered for final approval. Those community studies were separate from the official state-required environmental impact report.
Lodi does not have a big-box ordinance. Still, Walmart has been working for a decade to build a Supercenter at the corner of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane, and has long been delayed by lawsuits and city-imposed requirements such a purchasing property elsewhere to offset the loss of agricultural land.
Opponents of the Sacramento ordinance change expressed concern about the effect superstores would have on small businesses, arguing the money spent at those stores would simply come at the expense of other existing businesses.
But Galt Councilwoman Barbara Payne, a former small business owner herself, found that Galt residents were leaving town to shop at Walmarts and Targets in other cities and, while there, they would go to small gift shops like hers.
She favors taking a renewed look at the city’s ordinance and possibly eliminating it. That could clear the way for another big-box retailer move into the property at Simmerhorn Lane that Walmart originally sought to build on, she said.
“When our ordinance was passed, it was a different climate on the council. It was a slowto no-growth council,” Payne said. “Galt needs to have more businesses here. We’re losing money to other cities.
“I hope residents understand the need for more revenue,” she added. “If you don’t have enough revenue in your community, it’s going to reflect back on your community and what you can offer.”
The Sacramento Bee contributed to this report.

Book Review: Mennonite in a Little Black Dress
I knew I had to read Mennonite in a Little Black Dress as soon as I read the synopsis on the back of the book and saw a quote from Elizabeth Gilbert praising the book on its cover. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my little sister and managed to restrain myself and not read it before giving it to her. I then put myself on the hold list at the library to get it. Then I waited. And waited. And waited a little more. Then, the day before we're leaving for our trip to Florida it came in. I checked it out for my week (someone was waiting behind me for it so I had to read fast) and went on vacation.
The book is a memoir by Rhoda Janzen (apparently since married but still a fan of red lipstick), an English professor at Hope College which is a small liberal arts school in Holland, Michigan. The book leads off with her botched hysterectomy that requires about 6 months of recovery. This is followed up with a serious car accident and her husband leaving her for a man named Bob who he met on Gay.com. This all happens in the first fifteen pages of the book. With all that initial drama, I wondered how could the rest of the book live up to those first pages?
The other 240-ish pages follow her going home to spend time with her Mennonite family after her svelte red headed friend Carla (she repeatedly says in the book that this is how Carla wanted to be credited) convinces her she should write some of her adventures down. The book is a mixture of old family memories, current family happenings, and reflections about her divorce all mushed into one laugh out loud extravaganza. Examples of what is included in this book are childhood family camping trips (complete with the car sick ride on the way there), commentary on a Christmas dinner with her sister in law who insists on asking every inappropriate question you can imagine about her divorce, a list of embarrassing things that your mother may pack in your lunch to take to school as a child if you're Mennonite (borscht!), riding on a motorcycle with a much younger Mennonite man (please let this be the guy she married!), and several episodes about hair---head hair that looks like a nest, girl part hair sticking out of bikinis, other hair.
What made this book so funny also made me wish for a little more cohesion and a bit more of the serious stuff too. Let me put it out there --- I laughed my ass off for this book. There. I said it. I want you to remember that before I write down anything else about the book. Okay---are you still remembering that I laughed so hard that my husband and my grandmother repeatedly asked me what was so funny? Moving on...
Because the author draws from so many different areas of her life and the book does not occur chronologically, the book seemed to jump all over the place at times. As far as the serious stuff goes, this woman's divorce was brutal. She goes in depth about the emotional abuse she endured as a result of his bipolar disorder. She also made a brief commentary about her husband being atheist and her knowing that he was bisexual going into the marriage. After reading the book, I really wished that she had talked a little bit more about her faith and how it was effected by being married to an atheist. Was it effected at all? How did her family react? In my opinion, it wasn't addressed enough in the book. But that topic is not funny...not funny at all. So perhaps she felt it didn't have a place in the funny book that svelte red headed Carla wanted her to write.
In the end, this book made me laugh (you got that people?), and by the end I felt that the author made some peace with the faith of her childhood. I would recommend it. I really hope she writes another book later that takes a serious look at her faith and how her life experiences have effected it. Funny or not, I'd be interested.

Pesticides are substances that prevent, destroy, repel, or reduce the severity of pests. Pests are living things that occur where they are not wanted or that cause damage to humans, crops, or animals. Pests can be insects, rodents, unwanted plants, bacteria, viruses, or different types of fungus. Pesticides can vary in how toxic they are to humans and the environment. Some are persistent in the environment, animals, and birds, lasting for years; others break down soon after they are released. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grants licenses, or registrations, to pesticides that it has found do not pose unreasonable risks to human health and the environment; it has registered at least 865 pesticides, which are used in thousands of pesticide products.

This is the situation:
We have an EC2 server which runs Elasticsearch and an Elastic Beanstalk (EB) environment. They both are in the same VPC.
This is my goal:
Allow access to EC2 (9200 port) only from instances generated by EB.
What I did and what happened:
Inside EC2 security group I added a rule to allow access to port 9200 from Elastic Load Balancer's security group. Didn't work - timed out. When tried to specify EB instances IP address - works.
After that I tried a more stripped down version just to see where the problem is. Created an empty security group "elasticsearch-client". Then created a security group "elasticsearch-server" with a following rule
Custom TCP Rule | TCP | 9200 | sg-xxxxxxxx (elasticsearch-client)
Attached the server group to Elasticsearch EC2 instance and client group to a new EC2 instance I want to do the search from. I tried to connect from client to the server but connection times out. I can connect to the server if I allow connections from everywhere so I know the Elasticsearch server works at least. Also it's possible to connect from the new EC2 instance if I specify it's IP in the security group.
Is the way I'm using security groups wrong? Is there another way I should be solving this?
Any help is much appreciated.

A new 13C NMR technique for measuring substrate utilization by the citric acid cycle based on an analysis of succinate 13C isotopomers is presented. The relative contribution of up to three different labeling patterns in acetyl-CoA entering the citric acid cycle may be determined under non-steady-state conditions. We present experimental data from perfused rat hearts subjected to a brief period of ischemia, where both succinate and glutamate resonances were observed in the 13C spectrum. The contributions of labeled exogenous acetate and lactate and unlabeled sources to the acetyl-CoA pool were compared using this succinate analysis and a previously published glutamate analysis [Malloy et al. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 6756–6761], and the two methods give identical results. This indicates that the succinate and glutamate isotopomers originated from a common α-ketoglutarate pool, verifying that glutamate is in isotopomeric equilibrium with α-ketoglutarate under these conditions.

10/27/2018.- On Friday 26thOctober, the director Andrea Jaurrieta visited Valladolid International Film Festival to present Ana de día, her first feature film as a director, in which Ana, an exemplary young woman about to complete her PhD in Law, discovers that someone is impersonating her: a doppelgänger identical to her whose presence seems to surprise nobody. Far from attempting to recover her lost identity, Ana prefers to explore her own boundaries in light of this new anonymity, attempting to find the meaning of her existence and seeking her own freedom.
Andrea Jaurrieta holds a Masters in Film Directing from the Cinema and Audiovisual School of Catalonia (ESCAC). Her script won three international grants in Spain and Italy, and was selected for the Small is Biútiful Festival as part of Espagnolas en París, as one of the most promising scripts by a young Spanish talent. Andrea Jaurrieta has written seven short films and four video art projects. Among these, her last short film Los años dirán (2013) was selected for numerous national and international festivals, winning various awards.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN)--The families of three alleged victims of Dr. William Husel, at Mt. Carmel health System, have settled wrongful death lawsuits with the organizations.
The settlements were reached with the families of Lora Jackie Stone, Corrinnia Blake, and Emma Bogan.
Attorneys tell ABC-6 that settlements are close with two additional families.
Late in 2018, the hospital acknowledged that Dr. Husel may have administered fatal overdoses of pain medications, including fentanyl, to over 30 patients.
Dr. Husel was fired from the hospital after working there for about four years. The criminal case against him is still in the works, with the Franklin County Prosecutor handling that.

Jeep 4X4 Systems Explained
Choosing a Jeep vehicle means that you’ll have the power and capability to tread confidently across some of the world’s most inhospitable terrain. Since not all 4X4 systems are created equal, Jeep vehicles are engineered to a higher standard than most and tested in some of the most grueling conditions on the planet. This means that when you drive a Jeep, you’ll have the ability to get out and explore the path less traveled and create long-lasting memories with your friends and family. Germain Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Sidney has created this helpful reference guide that explains the various 4X4 systems found across the Jeep model lineup. Let’s take a closer look at their respective features and benefits.
Jeep 4X4 Technology
One of the industry leaders in 4X4 technology, Jeep has made capability the backbone of the brand. Across the entire range of Jeep vehicles, you’ll find a wide variety of innovative 4X4 systems that help you excel both on and off the road. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of some of the key components that help the Jeep 4X4 systems perform in some of the most demanding conditions in the world.
- An essential component of any 4X4 system is its ability to direct power to the wheels. Jeep vehicles come equipped with electronic, mechanical, or brake-assisted differentials to help maximize power delivery and maintain traction at all four wheels.
- Included as standard on Jeep Wrangler Rubicon models, this advanced system can automatically disengage the front sway bar when driving under 18 MPH with 4 Low mode engaged. This allows the front wheels to drop and compress, increasing suspension articulation when crawling over large obstacles.
- Stamped steel skid plates are included as standard on many Jeep vehicles. This high-strength protection safeguards off-road components from damage when you’re on rugged trails and mountain passes with plenty of tricky obstructions.
- Mounted directly to the body of your Jeep vehicle, this available feature (also known as rock sliders or sill guards) adds additional protection from rocks.
- Both the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited are engineered with a frame that’s fully boxed for increased durability, flexibility, and strength.
- In addition to smoother and quieter operation, these sophisticated axles boast large pinion bearings, stiff housings, heavy shafts, and above-center pinion mountings. (Front Dana® 44 heavy-duty axle is standard only on the Wrangler Rubicon. Dana 30 front axle is standard on all other models.)
1 – Off-Road Differentials
2 – Front Sway Bar Disconnect System
3 – Skid Plates
4 – Rock Rails
5 – Body-on-Frame Design
6 – Dana® 44 Heavy-Duty Solid Axles
Jeep 4X4 Systems – Availability By Model
Renegade 4X4 Systems
Two innovative 4X4 systems are available on the adventurous Jeep Renegade, each featuring a rear axle disconnect system to alternate between two-wheel and four-wheel drive. Both versions of the Jeep Active Drive Systems help you stay in control, even when just one wheel has traction on the ground.
Compass 4X4 Systems
Choosing the Jeep Compass means that you can select between two available 4X4 systems to suit your needs. Perfect for daily driving, the Jeep Active Drive 4X4 system has all of your bases covered. Step up to the Compass Trailhawk® and you’ll receive the standard Active Drive Low 4×4 System, one of the most capable systems ever found on a compact SUV.
Wrangler 4X4 Systems
Unquestionably the most iconic model in the Jeep model range, the legendary Wrangler has built its reputation on conquering the world’s most inhospitable terrain. Ready for your next adventure, the top-down Wrangler comes standard with a 4X4 system. Other advantages of the Wrangler include an available Command-Trac® transfer case and an exclusive Rock-Trac® 4×4 system on Rubicon variants.
Gladiator 4X4 Systems
As the only open-air pickup truck available on the market, the Jeep Gladiator delivers all the utility of a truck with the go-anywhere capability of the Wrangler lineup. Standard 4X4 along with an optional Command-Trac® transfer case and an exclusive Rock-Trac® 4×4 system on Rubicon variants prove that the Gladiator is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Cherokee 4X4 Systems
Unique to the Jeep Cherokee, shoppers will find three distinct available 4X4 systems that help them stay one step ahead of whatever Mother Nature has in store for their plans.
- Jeep Active Drive I 4×4 System – This full-time system automatically engages four-wheel drive when the conditions demand it. In the event slippage is detected, the system can direct torque to the wheels that need it the most.
- Jeep® Active Drive II 4×4 System – In addition to all of the great features of Active Drive I, this system adds the extra capability of a low range and neutral mode. These are great for low-speed traction and for flat-towing behind an RV.
- Jeep® Active Drive Lock 4×4 System – Standard on Cherokee Trailhawk®, this system offers all of the advantages of Active Drive II along with the addition of a mechanical rear axle lock and exclusive Selec-Terrain® Traction Management Rock mode for maximum capability.
Grand Cherokee 4X4 Systems
No matter where your journey takes you, you can count on the Jeep Grand Cherokee and its three proven 4X4 systems to get you there and back with confidence. Not only is the Grand Cherokee one of the most recognizable nameplates in the midsize SUV segment – it’s also one of the most capable.
- Quadra-Trac I® 4×4 System – Without the need to fumble with any buttons or levers, this system is always engaged for all-weather confidence and peace of mind. Paired with its brack lock differential, you’ll always be in control of your next adventure.
- Quadra-Trac II® 4×4 System – For even greater capability, this optional system gains a two-speed low transfer case to detect wheel slippage. Combined with the available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, drivers can choose individual drive modes for extra confidence.
- Quadra-Drive® II with Rear Electronic Limited-Slip Differential – The most advanced 4X4 system in the lineup, an electronic limited-slip differential can transfer up to 100% of available torque to a single rear wheel if desired.

During 2013, dozens of talented writers are joining me to cheer you on in your storytelling. These guest-writers will share a few helpful words with you right here every Tuesday night, to encourage you as you #TellHisStory. (Come back after midnight to link up your God Story by clicking here.)
And now, I’m delighted to introduce you to author Kimberlee Conway Ireton.
Susan Patron, Newbery Award-winning author of The Higher Power of Lucky, once said the best piece of writing advice she’d ever received was to choose a book she loved and write it. “The book I wished I’d written,” she said, “was Sarah, Plain and Tall, so I got out my copy and started typing. I copied the whole thing. I wrote Sarah, Plain and Tall!”
Since hearing Ms. Patron tell this story, I have typed or hand-copied countless poems, prose passages, chapters from novels, and short stories that I admire. I’ve found this a powerful way to become a better writer. Every time I copy out a piece of great writing, its words, flowing from eye to brain to hand, become my own. As I tease out the reason behind the author’s choice of this word, that sentence structure, this punctuation, I expand my personal store of writing and story-telling techniques, giving me more words, more options from which to draw in my own writing.
So let me invite you to choose a piece of writing you love—you know, the one you return to again and again—and start typing.
Your turn: What piece of writing do you return to again and again?

Two songs underway. Both with a full song form. Both just bass and drums. One song has the bass riff in 7/4 time over drums in 4/4. Zaniness ensues.
The guitar gear plan is either the Les Paul or the SG into the Bassbreaker 15, just like the March project. This time I’m allowing one pedal, the Fuzz Face Mini. I also might mess around with two mics on the amp. We will see if that plan sticks or not.

North Country Trail – Hike 100 Challenge
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
I am extremely proud to say that I am a supporting member of the NCTA (North Country Trail Association). I have taken it upon myself to take on the NCTA Hike 100 Challenge for 2018. If you aren’t familiar with this, you can read more about it here, on the NCTA website. The challenge is to hike 100 miles on the North Country Trail within the year.
This may not seem as much of a challenge to many of you young whipper snappers, and I say this with great respect to my elders. I may not seem old to many of you, as I am merely a middle-aged father nearing the end of my thirties. I understand that I may still have a whole lot to learn, but I also have gained some wisdom that I am able and happy to share with those younger generations just starting to gain afoot in the world.
The challenge for me is that even though the rules state that I am able to hike the same 5-mile section of the trail 20 times, I do not want to hike the same section more than once. I want to see 100 different miles of this trail, making this just a bit tougher. I also live more than two hours away from any section of the trail, so I will have to drive a decent amount to get to the trail. I have a full time job supporting my family, which I can’t just up and ignore. I also have an amazing family; a beautiful wife and two amazing daughters (ages six and one) that I don’t want to spend too much time away from.
I do, however, have some options to explore. This past October, I enjoyed an awesome, adventurous two-day kayak trip on the Pine River in the Huron-Manistee National Forest. The trail covers almost 140 miles within the forest, and I would truly enjoy spending a few days hiking it, and exploring much more of what I haven’t discovered yet. I can also head down to Ohio, where the trail runs down the west side of the state, along the southern part, and back up the eastern side. I could choose a section of the trail in Ohio, and maybe stop and visit my sister-in-law and brother-in-law and their kids in Wilmington, which isn’t far off the trail, by the Little Miami River in the Little Miami State Park or hike through Hocking Hills, which I have been wanted to take my wife to for quite some time now.
I guess I need to start planning out my year in order to accomplish what I am setting out to do. I know that I can break it down to a bunch of day hikes, but I wouldn’t mind doing some overnight backpacking on the trail, whether it be in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, or possibly the Allegheny National Forest of Pennsylvania. I could try and plan a family trip to the Adirondacks of New York, but I’m not sure if this year would be good for that, having a one year old. That may have to wait a year or two, unless my wife would agree to a trip there with just the two of us, if we can get a babysitter. I could also do a section of the trail up in the Border Region of Minnesota, a 104-mile section rated as difficult where backcountry experience and land navigation skills are necessary, visiting the Grand Portage State Forest, or even the Great Plains of North Dakota, which I have not visited yet in my life. With over 4,600 miles, the options are copious.
Maybe I can talk my wife and kids into hiking part of the trail with me. It may be tough for my little one as she just started walking, but I’m sure with the way that she can’t sit still now, walking constant circles through our house, that she may be up to a little bit of a challenge and do some easy hiking with Daddy later in the year. We may not cover much distance, but the experience of getting her out and getting used to hiking in the woods will be heartwarming to me, and quite an adventure for her. Her only experience hiking in the woods so far has been her sitting in the umbrella stroller, which isn’t too horrible for me pushing through dirt or wood-chip lined paths. I have still been awed to see the wonderment in her eyes when we explore the towering trees, when we notice a deer just off the path, or hearing the sounds of a small river or stream running over large rocks or a downed tree. I can already tell that she is going to have a passion for the outdoors, just like her daddy. I can see it in her eyes and deep down in her soul.
As for my six year old, she’s already beginning to take after my passion for the outdoors. She has begged me on multiple occasions to take her on a hike and explore new trails. She loves being in the woods, listening to the wondrous music that nature composes. She seeks out to find and catch a glimpse of squirrels, chipmunks, frogs, snakes, and other fauna that love to hide in the brush. She has conquered a few six-plus mile hikes with me already. However, she does have her moments that her feet hurt and wants me to pick her up and carry her on my shoulders. I’m not too sure that my back can take it too much longer. She’s growing like a weed these days, and she’s much taller than her other first grade cohorts.
I am soon looking forward to get my wife out on a few overnight backpacking trips. We have definitely done our fair share of tent and wilderness camping, but I have not had the chance to get her out on an actual backpacking trip. I think we’re going to have to work our way up to longer trips, beginning with a one-nighter first. I’m looking into a guided backpacking beginner trip, where an expert guide can teach her the basics, as I may have a tough time trying to teach her myself. I apologize in advance, but she doesn’t take much to me telling her what to do. I’m sure many of you can relate. Sorry, Tweety (I say this with a grin on my face and pouty eyes).
All in all, I am excited to take on this challenge, and will do my best to quash the trial I lay before myself. I am adrenalized to explore new crooks and crannies, bridges and footpaths, and passageways that I have not come across before. Are you ready for me, North Country Trail? This is what I live for as a hiker; a nature enthusiast; an outdoor soul. I’m taking my soul outdoors. It’ll thank me.
Happy hiking, and maybe I’ll see you out there.

Q-Two of my daughters (ages 6 and 8) have a variety of allergies that preclude keeping pets with fur or feathers in our home. They have asked for a small turtle as a pet. As a child, I found a turtle to be a very satisfactory pet, but now I`ve been told all turtles are infected with salmonella and are no longer suitable pets.
Is this true and if so, can the turtles be made noncontagious? The children have rejected fish as pets because they cannot hold them or pet them. A-There is nothing indigenous to turtles that makes all of them salmonella carriers. Some can be, however, depending upon where they came from and what sort of environment they were raised in-whether wild or in captivity.
Years ago it was legal to sell a wide variety of baby turtles in dime-store pet shops, and many people, like me, not only remember those easy-to-buy turtle days but had turtles as pets.
Those turtles were mostly all farmed in ponds in the South. Unfortunately, often those ponds were contaminated with raw sewage. It is believed that this probably was the source of the salmonella so many of those baby turtles were infected with.
Even today, some wild-born turtles carry salmonella, but certainly not all turtles are infected with the bacteria.
To muddy the scene a bit, it is difficult to detect salmonellosis. We don`t know whether, in fact, we can totally eliminate the disease. We do know that the incidence is much lower than in the past. For the most part, the chance of getting salmonellosis from turtles is fairly low now.
To avoid any risk of catching the disease, I recommend strict attention to hygiene when handling turtles. After you`ve been handling one-or any animal, for that matter-wash your hands.
It`s also wise to have a pet turtle checked by a veterinarian for parasites. Though the incidence of salmonella has been reduced, we do see a wide variety of intestinal parasites in turtles from almost all origins. Stool samples can be tested to check for such parasites.
If you already have a pet turtle and are concerned about its condition or uncertain whether the diet you`re providing is adequate, ask your veterinarian to refer you to a vet who enjoys working with reptiles or aquatic species.
(This is not a subject traditionally given a lot of attention in veterinary schools, though that is changing.)
One final note: In some areas, ownership of many species of turtles is illegal. Before buying, check with your state wildlife or environmental department or the pet shop you`re buying the turtle from.
Q-Ember, my terrier-Lab cross, is 5 years old. I adopted her when she was 8 weeks old. Ordinarily she`s calm, gentle and extremely obedient, but when I`m not home, she destroys my couch and other pillows. Nothing deters her.
There are two cats and another small dog to keep her company. I have someone walk Ember at noon Tuesday-Friday. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, someone, either my husband or I, is always with her. She also comes with me to see my horse every night, and she`s with me all day on weekends.
I spend every possible minute with her, yet if I leave for 10 minutes she becomes destructive. Any suggestions?
A-This seems to be the exact problem for which a dog crate might be ideal. Because we are not concerned about house-training your dog, a medium to large crate should be adequate. Feed Ember in the crate but with the door open; put the food in the back of the crate to give her a positive association with the enclosure. If your dog has a blanket, put it in the crate.
Whenever you leave the house, put Ember in the crate. You can coax her inside by tossing a goodie in the back of the crate, unless, of course, she`s overweight. If necessary, physically put her inside. She probably will resist being crated the first few times, but I can practically promise, based on my experience, that older dogs can become accustomed to crates and feel very happy and secure in them.
The scenario you describe is not a healthy one and doesn`t promote a healthy emotional environment for your dog. She acts destructively when left alone because anxiety and worry build up in her; she releases this anxiety by chewing something. When you return she`s thrilled to see you, but then what happens? You walk in the door and become angry. But your dog doesn`t understand why you`re angry. She may seem to have a guilty expression, but that really stems from her feeling: ``Oh-oh, she`s coming home and I`m going to get punished.``
In contrast, when you come home after your dog has spent the day in her crate, she`s still thrilled to see you and, because everything is in order, you`re delighted to see her. Then you take her out and play with her and there`s no conflict.
Your situation is particularly ideal because your dog gets some exercise during your absence. This makes it unnecessary to leave her alone for extended periods of time.
After a brief period of adaptation, this should turn out to be a great solution for you and your dog.

March Melies Madness! - How He Missed His Train [Le réveil d'un monsieur pressé] (1900)
A variation on a familiar Méliès theme, but reversed. In How He Missed His Train (aka Le réveil d'un monsieur pressé), the character's difficulty lies not in preparing for bed, but rather in readying himself to exit his sleeping quarters.

Table of contents
Dining in Prague is an experience in and of itself. The city is home to historical and breathtaking landmarks, magical winding streets, and, of course, restaurants and cafés with menu options that delight the taste buds. Prague offers a wide array of cuisines, ranging from traditional and international fare to innovative culinary creations. For your convenience, we have compiled a comprehensive list of some of the best Prague view restaurants in the city.
Which restaurants are the best restaurants with a view, Prague
Aside from culinary delights, Prague makes the dining experience extra special with its spectacular views, whether you’re dining on the rooftop of a local restaurant or simply eating outdoors. With all the options available, how do you know which ones to visit? Let’s take a look at four of the best Prague restaurants with a view that in addition to offering their customers highly scrumptious meals, also offer them breathtaking views of the beautiful city of Prague.
Experience Rooftop Dining at Terasa U Prince
Address: Hotel U Prince – 5th floor, Staroměstské náměstí 29, 110 00 Praha 1, Czechia
Terasa U Prince is located on the 5th floor of the family-owned Hotel U Prince in Old Town. This restaurant is arguably the best restaurant in Prague with view. While you’re there, you can enjoy local and international cuisine while taking in views of some of Prague’s most popular destinations, including the Old Town Square, the Astronomical Clock, and Prague Castle. The terrace itself has a dedicated lookout zone called the Bubble Point View. This restaurant is without doubt one of the best Prague view restaurants.
While the restaurant can be a bit pricey and is best for special occasions, you can still enjoy cocktails and desserts while enjoying unparalleled views of Prague. If you’re planning a visit soon, it’s best to book a table in advance because the small rooftop restaurant tends to get very busy.
Take in Panoramic Views of the City at Bellavista Prague – Closed
Address: Strahovské nádvoří 1, 118 00 Praha 1 – Hradčany, Czechia
Bellavista Restaurant is another of the best Prague restaurants with a view. If you’re looking to enjoy panoramic views of Prague and the Strahov Monastery, then you should definitely visit Bellavista Restaurant. A popular venue for locals and tourists alike, it’s one of the best places to have coffee, beer, or dessert. The restaurant serves rustic cuisine that combines modern specialties and concepts with traditional Czech fare. Bellavista works with local suppliers, so you’re sure to get fresh, high-quality ingredients in every dish.
Bellavista is best experienced in the warmer months. However, if you’re visiting Prague during the winter, you can also opt for the restaurant’s indoor seating. Bellavista was formerly known as Oživlé dřevo or “Enlivened Wood,” whose original interior was designed by Alois Chocholáč, a renowned Czech artist.
Elevate Your Dining Experience at Hergetova Cihelna and Kampa Park
Address: Cihelná 2b, 118 00 Praha 1 – Malá Strana, Czechia
Address: Na Kampe 8b, Malá Strana, 118 00 Praha 1, Czechia
Hergetova Cihelna, a restaurant situated by the Vltava River, is also one of the best restaurants in Prague with a view. This exquisite puts a modern spin on traditional Czech dishes. Aside from their delectable offerings, such as red curry risotto, crispy duck wontons, and Svíčková, you’ll also get to enjoy unmatched views of the Charles Bridge. If you want to make your stay in Prague more memorable, try visiting Cihelna during the afternoon to experience the sunset and the magical view of the Charles Bridge during that time.
Kampa Park, Hergetova Cihelna’s sister restaurant, is only a minute’s walk away. This is another of the best restaurants with a view in Prague. It’s a stylish venue that features several dining areas like the outside and inside terrace. At Kampa Park, you can sample gourmet offerings while taking in views of the Charles Bridge and Vltava River through the restaurant’s private boat tour. Despite its contemporary interiors, Kampa Park is family-friendly and also welcomes pets.
Greet the Morning with Breakfast at Oblaca
Address: Mahlerovy sady 1, 130 00 Praha 3 – Žižkov, Czechia
This restaurant is perhaps the highest located restaurant on our list of the best Prague restaurants with a view. Situated 66 meters above the ground in the Žižkov TV Tower, Oblaca offers a unique dining experience. One of the best restaurants in the Czech Republic, it was awarded a total of three Golden Lions, the highest Czech rating for gastronomy, in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
When you dine at Oblaca, which also doubles as one of the best restaurants in Prague with a view. You can get free access to the Tower’s observation deck. Witness spectacular city views over breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Have your fill of modern gastronomic delights, such as tuna in pepper crust, fresh burrata with marinated fig, and marinated Iberian pig cheeks. You can also make reservations in the late afternoon or early evening, so you can catch the sunset while having a cup of coffee or evening cocktails.

‘Madden’ includes Favre as Packer
By Lou Kesten
Many features are geared toward helping the novice.
When Electronic Arts announced the retired Brett Favre as its 20th anniversary cover boy, it looked like the notorious “Madden” curse — which had mangled the careers of Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander — was finally broken.
But when Favre decided to play again and was traded from the Packers to the New York Jets, it looked like the Curse simply reversed onto EA itself.
By the time the dust had settled, “Madden” (EA Sports, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $59.99; Wii, $49.99; PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, $39.99; Nintendo DS, $29.99), the mega-selling footballvideo-game franchise’s latest installment was too far into production to switch Favre’s wardrobe. You’ll be able to download rosters that feature Favre as Jets quarterback, and Gang Green diehards will be able to download a fresh “Madden” cover that puts the superstar in a New York uniform.
But all this chaos has distracted EA Sports from promoting “Madden 09” the way it would like: as the 20th anniversary edition of the longest-running franchise in sports video games. EA has always delivered new features in each installment, but this year it’s going long, stuffing nearly a dozen fresh game modes and gimmicks into the package. (I reviewed the Xbox 360 version; your mileage on other consoles may vary.)
One of the problems in a series with so much history is that it can be somewhat daunting to a newcomer. Many of the new features in “Madden 09” are geared toward helping the novice. For example, play selection can be as simple or as deep as you want it. At the easiest level, the computer will select your plays for you. Later on, you can arrange your playbook by play type (power run, quick pass) rather than by sometimes confusing formations like Z slant wide corner or double Z LB spy.
You start off with the Madden Test, which gauges your skill in passing, running, pass defense and run defense, then adjusts the game’s difficulty to your strengths and weaknesses. Each time you play a game, your skill level is adjusted according to your performance. If you’re particularly weak in one area, you can go to the Virtual Trainer, a holodeck-like gridiron, and bone up on the necessary skills. I’m hoping all this will put a stop to the 56-7 blowouts my brother’s been inflicting on me for the last 10 years.
A few more in-game features let you learn from your mistakes. Instead of kicking yourself over that end zone interception, you can hit the Rewind button and try the play again. Or you can watch a Backtrack video, in which the game shows you how you could have salvaged a botched play. “Madden 09” also does a great job with onscreen menus that provide a helpful guide to all your options.
This game rates three out of four stars.


SimSport Eagles' Rastoem Simons read about how Maskini couldn't fly to Thailand because of complications with his passport.
The youngster's SA passport was scanned as belonging to DR Congo, because his family was originally from there. However Maskini was born in South Africa and he sadly had to watch his teammates leave him for the plane, while he sat back in the Cape Town airport.
After reading this unfortunate story in Independent Newspapers, Simons organised for Maskini to join his development team in Dubai next year, and by then there shouldn't be any problems with his paperwork.
“Well, I saw George’s story last week and then saw his story yesterday (on Thursday) and I felt very unsettled,” Simons, managing director of Simsport Eagles told the Cape Argus.
"I’m just glad I am able to assist them with giving George an opportunity to do what he loves,” Simons added.
